Brain injuries are horrible. While I don’t have a physical injury, I had an absolutely devastating psychotic break in 2018 that destroyed my entire sense of self. The connections to my memories prior to the break are extremely disconnected and haven’t recovered much. I have memories of an entire childhood I only lived in my head.

I had to learn who I was again. I’m not the same person. I don’t even know the person I was before.

Before the break, I used to run table-top rpgs. I found I could no longer run them. The mental capacity just wasn’t there.

I still can’t work full time consistently. I average two days off per month without notice. Fortunately, my current employer is happy to work with me. I am beyond thankful none of my technical skills or abilities have been significantly impacted. They come from parts of my brain that weren’t damaged.

I’m slowly recovering but the pandemic and medications for bipolar aren’t helping.

But I am recovering. It’s three years later and I’m just barely managing to run an online game for some friends every two weeks. Maybe in a few years, it would be so hard.

it used to be common sense not to hand over your nation's strategic assets to potential foreign adversaries, common Americans all intuitively knew shipping manufacturing to China was bad. Wall Street greed and bribed politicians allowed this to happen. Evil is selling out your nation for profit
That is there best argument to fight now for good conditions, the more robots in the future the less leverage to negotiate.

On a second note, if robots replace humans. Who is going to buy products? Because humans without jobs do not have money. Why have warehouses if nobody can but anything? That hypothetical future were robots replace workers is way more complicated that many people thinks.

It's common enough to see the phrases "'free' as in 'free beer'" puts it in contrast to "'free' as in 'free speech'" (which emphasises you can do what you want with the software).

Following in popularity from these is "'free' as in 'free puppy'"; which emphasises that you'd be taking on a burden of responsibility by using it. -- At the very least, if you're using it, it may have bugs.
There are different times, though. If you're going to roll a service in server-side Javascript at a large organization nowadays, it'll be tested to high heaven with modern CI/CD and rolling deploys, and this mitigates the fragility of applying security (or any other) updates significantly.

With Java, though, a lot of the services in production were made before this maturity was standard. There's a vast amount of software out there that's insufficiently tested and documented, some of which has dependencies as jar files included directly in the filesystem, and the relative stability of the Java library ecosystem led to a feeling that this was acceptable. It's difficult to even detect vulnerable services, much less upgrade them and trust CI to have your back. The reason this CVE is insidious is because it uniquely affects legacy software, often many layers removed from web interfaces, that was thought to be battle-tested.

What if software engineers started asking companies during the hiring phase, "Do you offer an open source purse as a benefit, so I can contribute to projects I believe in or that may be benefiting the company?"

I think software engineers have some leverage here, because what company doesn't want to prove they are values-aligned with their engineers?

I wonder if the presence of autonomously driving cars will change the design of our infrastructure. The way construction area are designed nowadays expects a lot of the drivers, especially road markings. Standardizing how construction sites design their temporary road changes might make it easier for manufacturers of cars to be able to handle them. Even just proper lane markings or perhaps improved paint, developed together with manufacturers might make this issue go away.

The fact that $6 Billion dollars is a fraction of their profit suggests the United States could just regulate that they and other large US semiconductor firms must produce more chips locally. No need to subsidize.
> It's a relatively small set of people in a relatively small chunk of history

I think it’s a fairly large chunk of history (e.g. all the time humans were a thing) that this applies to. The fact that it weren’t executives but kings, queens and nobles thinking this way doesn’t really change much.

It’s not even necessarily malicious, but you really don’t want to think about the fact your life is so comfortable at the expense of other people.

> When your project blows up and mints a herd of new gazillionaires, yes, it's reasonable to ask those companies to fund what is now an important community project.

You never need an excuse to ask, but neither side should feel compelled. The transaction is already complete.

Once you give something away, it doesn't matter if someone else gets rich off it. You gave it away. You're not, and shouldn't feel, entitled to anything.

If this bothers you, maybe you shouldn't have given it away for free?

> Anybody that says "nope, their money, they do what they want" is spouting the same flavor of dipshittery as "free speech only means the government can't censor, private companies are free to do what they want".

I don't know how to respond to this. This statement seems entirely paradoxical to me. Yes, it is their money, and they can do whatever they want. And also you accurately describe how free speech applies to private enterprises. Why are you so bothered by this?

There is a question of morality, sure, but that's a fruitless conversation to have. It's one thing to wish the world were different, but another to be angry with people who live in this world. Does this make me a person who merely spouts dipshittery?

You seem to acknowledge that the world is a certain a way, but feel shocked to find, and subsequently rebel against the idea that yes, it is actually that way. I don't understand this at all.

I for one appreciate that this site and others are moderated and restrict and remove posts containing hate speech. I imagine that the majority of readers and contributors would agree with me.

> Americans used to understand this. Know why there are schools all over the country named after Andrew Carnegie?

Perhaps it's because I, and the rest of the world, are not American, but I can't say I've ever given a moment of thought to the names of schools in your country, or Carnegie for that matter.

Perhaps America's fetish for capitalism is at the root of these divides. If you want to get paid and work on open source software full time, I can't think of a better way than under some form of universal basic income, but your capitalist infatuations make that unlikely. Charity is not the solution.

> When we're talking about Spartans, we're talking about the Spartan aristocracy, no?

I am pretty sure you are right. To the ancient writers, slaves were all but invisible, except perhaps as a measure of a slave-holder's wealth, or when, like Spartacus, they upturned the 'natural order' of society, and lesser nominally-free persons were not much more thought of. A slave's child was a return on a slave-holder's investment (Thomas Jefferson wrote about his own slaves in these terms), and if they weren't useful for anything better, they could be used as beasts of burden until they died.

I don't know how the Spartans are portrayed in Halo, but Brett Devereaux make an interesting case (at least AFAIK, which is not much) that the Spartan aristocracy operated like a modern-day cult [1] (and he seems to accept that infanticide was part of that cult, though he does not have much to say about it.)

I enjoy browsing around and reading comments. Probably 30 mins a day on average. I don't use Facebook or Twitter (not much anyway) and I rarely watch TV. I listen to podcasts every night as I fall asleep.

30-45 mins avg on HN in evenings, or while waiting for something, or in-between tasks... I enjoy it and it keeps me current with the industry chatter. Sometimes I find cool stuff that inspires me to dig deeper.

I'm satisfied and don't beat myself up about it as I'm pretty busy and need downtime. So I don't feel the need to optimize much. Oh I do use Google Keep to save articles or items of interest so I can dig them out later if I have time to hack around with stuff.

... I have 2 young kids so hobby time is rare right now. It's increasing with time though :)

> I’m always a bit surprised when people seem to imply that there’s a fundamental human right to perfectly stable stores of value

If it were not for central bankers printing money into existence, a person could work their life, save a portion for retirement in a bank account or other fixed income product, while enjoying a positive return on their investment, without taking on market risk of loss of funds.

I don’t think I am being entitled to believe that this option should exist for those who wish to take advantage of it. Forcing everyone into the stock or real estate markets just to stay ahead of inflation is a crime against the people.

> A saver who wants to put money away to spend in the future must, unfortunately, make some sort of bet.

This is only true because of the fradulent fractional reserve fiat money system we have been subjected to which allows the central bankers to steal from the populace to enrich their banker friends. If it were not for money printing, the saver would not have to risk their savings just to preserve purchasing power.
> There aren't hours and days of advanced notice. Only a few minutes.

Every major weather and news organization was warning about "a very high likelihood of nocturnal tornadoes in the area" 12+ hours before they happened.
I guess you missed this debacle:

Besides, "no, IT is a X" is not a valid counterargument to "IT is a Y" unless "is a" is a relationship of IFF (which it is not in this case) or X and Y do not intersect (which they do).

Jim Keller: Moore’s Law Is Not Dead (2019)
That's also an imbalance, assuming we want to keep "free" on the table. Now ads are centralised, and one has to elect to go to a special portal to see ads. This won't pay for all the stuff we get for "free" but is most definitely not "free". If ads were reasonable and based on stated interests we might not even be having this conversation. To me it feels like the advertising platforms are shooting themselves in the foot. There will be a tipping point where even the "regular internet users" will have enough of this crap.
Because we didn't want to limit people's thinking to current type systems.

In my experience, people who have only been exposed to rather weak type systems tend to have strong (negative) beliefs about what types supposedly can and can't do — witness the number of pointless "debates" about "typed" vs "dynamic" languages. We therefore expressly wanted people to shed their baggage and think about what programmers want to be able to express and work from there, not see something hard or unfamiliar and say "oh, «types» can't do this".

Picking a term that keeps harkening back to that baggage would then be counter-productive.
Seconding the recommendation for a weather radio. If you get a good one, you can program it with your SAME code (basically a region code) and also select which types of alerts you want it to sound for. I have one next to my bed since we're on the upper level of a 2-story house with it set to only alert on severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings. This gives me confidence that I will be alerted if there's an issue and still have time to make it to the basement.

This is the radio I have, and though I have a few small complaints overall I'm very happy with it:

https://www.amazon.com/Sangean-CL-100-Certified-Table-Top-St...

As a side note, having lived my whole life in the Midwest I've always dealt with tornados and know how they work, and it's shocking how little a lot of other people here seem to know. I guess if you don't have a few tornado watches/warnings a year then you just don't ever learn about them. The amount of ridiculous takes in these comments is really something - you don't find out about tornados before you go to work so you can stay home, or have time when there's a tornado warning to get in your car and go for a drive or anything like that. If you're lucky you have 5-10 minutes notice, but it's common to get only 30 seconds or so of warning. People who live in the Midwest know that when you hear a tornado warning (around here they sound the civil defense sirens, but also weather radio and phone alerts), you go to your place of shelter immediately.
Attempting to defend yourself with something like this is going to get you killed. People are strong beyond most people's ability to understand -- some people can still be a threat with severe bullet wounds for incredibly long periods of time. It's going to take something much more compelling than this to bring up any serious discussion about less-lethal options.
It's possible to turn without counter steering, especially on a light weight ebike. But counter steering can achieve a higher rate of turn for less physical effort.

It's also possible that you are counter steering intuitively without realizing it. It takes very little to initiate a turn; this rider demonstrates it quite well how little it takes and specifically talks about why someone might think they're turning without counter steering.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljywO-B_yew&t=198s

That said this is more for motorcycles; the tires are much wider and thus motorcycles must lean over more to achieve the same rate of turn that an bicycle with narrower tires achieves.

My friend was hit in the head by a heavy piece of metal and suffered an injury. He had to fight workers compensation tooth and nail to get any help and all they would do is say you seem able to work. He could if he was on a good day. But other days he struggled to work a few hours. He is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever know so truly believe he was not well. I’m not sure the point of my comment other then it is really horrible if you get a brain jury he struggled with not only work but personal life as well after.
They've been saying Moore's law is dead for 20+ years. Reasons usually quoted for Moore's law's death are quite narrowly focused on a particular technology stack, whereas semiconductor fabrication happens on a complex web of technologies all moving forward with their own S-curves.

It is worth watching Jim Keller's lecture at UC Berkeley literally titled "Moore's law is not dead". He talks on a different level alltogether and far more convincing than the pedantic look at the details that enable Moore's law.

EAS is still broadcast over the air on the VHF spectrum and includes NOAA weather updates which your taxes pay for. Buy a weather radio, because the TV alerts are literally just EAS receivers interrupting programming.
