Historically, the village church wasn't just about worshipping the sky father and shunning non-believers. It was the original social safety net and the congregation would support people who were experiencing hardship. The tribe would come together for births / marriages / deaths.

By rejecting all religion and vacating churches we've sort of thrown the baby out with the bathwater. We've damaged everyone's need for belonging and increased loneliness. Secular movements to restore a sense of community would be welcomed IMO (there are articles about how local mcdonald's have become gathering places in small american towns, surely this isn't ideal)

Anti-5G is stupid.

Ohhhh lets fear necklaces because they are radioactive

People reading this BBC article are as fucking stupid/smart as the Anti-5G crowd.

How much are they emitting and how does that compare to other levels? If this is real then give us facts, not just fear 'radiation'

Other article that might be interesting - "During a routine whole body counting measurement of a worker at the Nuclear Research Center Negev, abnormal activities of 232Th and 238U were measured.

I tend to agree. Athletics, while not academics, is as valid a reason as chess or acting for acceptance into a school. And top D1 athletes in the top tier sports are generally exceptional at what they do.

The unfortunate thing may be that we've conflated college admissions with this notion of "merit", rather than what you can get out of college itself.

Is Facebook competent to be the fact checker? Demonstrably no. So, without necessarily having to judge the universe of possible fact-checking possibilities, we can say that what Facebook is doing isn't working.
On the other hand, churches could have figured that out before killing the churches too. The New Atheists didn't force my church to go "all in" on the culture war.
Email whom? OP just talked about how emailing support did nothing. What are you supposed to do if you don’t know anyone at Facebook?
Perhaps. Indeed, I haven't done a controlled study.

It has just jumped out at me how consistently and reliably items on that topic generate those responses. It's also consistent with available open-source info on ops of the CCP and Russian govt. which include social media trolling to promote their POV, undermine rival POVs, and/or sow discord (and considering the ROI on such ops, they'd be negligent to not do them considering there's no resistance).

In any case, I'll take a closer look before commenting.
We designed the plugin protocol (https://hackmd.io/@str4d/age-plugin-spec) and generally the age recipient/identity structure specifically to enable the use of hardware or remote keys!

For example, https://github.com/str4d/age-plugin-yubikey makes it very easy to use PIV tokens, including YubiKeys, with age. (Well, for now with rage, since plugin support is coming in age v1.1.0.)

I argue against password-protecting keys by default because, unlike using hardware tokens, it doesn't protect against many threat models.

I chose examples also available to black Americans. Of the example I chose, the biggest risk is just not being able to sleep with the American that person met abroad. The federal and municipal police are not going to track down their family stateside for harassment.

I think you extrapolated waaaaay more than either of us were talking about beforehand. We're talking about the comparisons to what happened in the article.

Its a tricky discussion since many of us want to make these comparisons between the countries, its very tempting to, but without narrowly tailoring the conversation it just derails everything.

Agree on the pros. A few cons are increased costs due to (relatively) high IOPS, higher coupling, and need for more (costly) connections.

Overall though I'd agree it can be good as a first step or default until lower cost or higher performance is needed.

Anecdotally I've found the new FSD Beta a huge leap forward when used like "Autopilot" (basically no destination, drive in a straight line for lane keeping). It understands the roads 500% better than the older builds in terms of lane layout, little or no lines, etc.
The question is whether "[the police] are under instructions directly from Chesa Boudin [not to arrest people for property crime]" as you claimed. This claim appears to be a lie, the article you linked provides no supporting evidence, and your followup comment as well provides no supporting evidence.

When pressed on this point, you are relying on deflection to other criticisms you have of Boudin. Eliminating cash bail is in no way, shape, or form a direct instruction to not arrest property criminals.

The former head of Green Templeton College, Oxford, did an analysis of the final results achieved by people from different backgrounds who had got into Oxford, and the conclusion was that those who came from fancier backgrounds did less well in their degrees than their poorer colleagues with similar entry scores. The hypothesis was that the private schools were very good at hothousing borderline students, but that this obviously stopped happening once they were admitted and got the same environment as everyone else.

This is one of the reasons that Oxford is beginning to seriously concern itself with background - it turns out that if you're already expecting top entry grades it's a good way of getting better students.

That, and its long-standing gross overrepresentation of children from posh schools is getting embarrassing.
It's not a matter of truth or not. They suppressed an article reporting on whistleblower accusations and documents backing them up.

The press cover people getting accused of crimes all the time. The press does not say "this person committed that crime." The press reports on arraignments, events at trial, verdicts, and reactions from relevant parties like legal experts.

As an American - it is an interesting question. I'm no history buff by any means....but one of the strengths of the United States is that the federal government is supposed to have limited powers. It's also a weakness (IMHO) and being able to 'universally qualify' students is one of them. Education standards & curriculum is controlled at the state. How can you compare two students between 2 different states, when even the GPA levels can be different despite have the same grades?

I have family in China...and in China there are national tests to be able to compare students.

If we start doing a national tests you'll have people start yelling "States rights!". We can't even have states accept free money to give their people insurance. I don't think all states would accept a national test.
I made a facebook account for advertising a few years back... (facebook requires linking advertising/business accounts with your personal account, and I didn't have a personal one).

Two: we went with Kolide. To understand how they are different, go read https://honest.security.
I suspect the latter. Much of the storytelling aspect of filmmaking is done in the editing room, piecing together takes into a narrative and deciding what makes into the finished product. A terrible movie can be made into a decent one (or better) with a skillful re-cut.

Ask HN: Got a letter from a lawyer about my (dead) startup
Last year I started brainstorming a possible business idea in the fintech space with a friend.
We came up with a name and set up a static page with a form. We never formed a company.
Eventually, we decided that the idea wasn't good enough. Last month we killed the landing page.

Last week, we received a letter from a French legal firm, asking us to stop using the name because it is somehow similar to their client company's, which operates in a similar space.
They also request that we "surrender" the domain names that we purchased to the company for free.

Since the landing page is no longer online and the business idea is buried, I don't worry too much.
My question is: do they have any right to order us to give up the domain names?

It sounds like a bullshit move to me. They can have the domain names, but they have to pay for them.

Note that the landing page was targeted at the European market, with a focus on Italy and Germany.

Traditions and rituals emerge naturally in any community that lasts long enough. At least if you let them emerge instead of trying to create them deliberately.

Traditional universities are full of rituals, because they are among the oldest secular institutions still in existence. For example, I got my doctoral sword and hat in an elaborate multi-day ceremony in 2014, and I will be invited to participate again in 2064 if I live long enough.

I think Tesla has helped span the gap between EV hobbyists and the general car consumers, but not all by its self.
By that measure you also have to take into account that while you are renting to save up for the down payment you are paying a rent much greater in proportioning to your income. You are making a car payment much greater in proportion to your income. You also very likely are paying a student loan payment that did not exist for the 1970 home buyer. It is much more difficult to save up for even the down payment and more difficult to get approved for a home loan because you already have significant debt which the 1970 home buyer did not. In totality the debt driven economy makes homes less affordable…it’s not just about a monthly payment.
My thought was that Ubuntu &c. are more "just works" than Debian, and that would be better for new users. I mentally classify Mint with the *Ubuntus.

I didn’t go to Harvard, but I went to a decent university.

I was one of those students who got perfectly scores on all my tests but couldn’t possibly be bothered to do homework in high school, so my grades were less than perfect. If it weren’t for my high ACT score, I’m pretty confident I wouldn’t have been accepted into any university—especially as someone from a lower middle class family.

I’m not sure if eliminating standardized testing is a misguided effort to introduce fairness or a wisely guided effort to only let in the types they want through a more opaque process.
If you look at income inequality, the United States is far more unequal than Sweden:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq...

If you look at wealth inequality, they are pretty much exactly the same:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_in...

But that also leaves out large programs in Sweden that vastly narrow the gap between rich & poor, which America does not have. Namely universal healthcare, free child care, free prenatal care, free school lunches, free college, union participation in 70% of the workforce (which provides additional unemployment benefits & pensions), and most retired persons being able to receive multiple public & private pensions. You cannot measure the desperation of poor in America vs Sweden without taking all of this into account.

Furthermore, I'm struggling to see what your point is. All of the policies I listed above are considered "far left" by many people in America, yet seem to reduce the desperation of lower classes (and crime). So are you saying the America and cities like SF should adopt these "far left" policies? Because that's the exact opposite view of the parent comments that I've been replying to.
So you’ve asked a question that can only be answered with subjective opinions, and then spend the rest of your time arguing that those subjective opinions must be incorrect because you have a different subjective opinion … which leaves me to wonder if you were sincerely wanting your question answered, or were trolling, looking to have a fight with everyone.

The entire article is about how Omicron threatens "red America".

The data referenced is this:
https://acasignups.net/21/12/17/request-how-delta-wave-has-r...

... which is about Delta (and specifically omits Omicron) because...

*there has not been a single death attributable to Omicron on the entire North American continent* (as of now). In fact, for the lone death of someone who tested positive for Omicron in the entire world (in the UK), Omicron wasn't specifically listed as the cause of death, even. There is no report of Omicron-caused death anywhere else in the world, to my knowledge.

So, to imply "Omicron -> Death" is a ludicrous headline in the first place.

I should have said "let them end the relationship", not "terminate". There is a generally a long road from failing to install some spyware on your own device, or failing to give them some piss to play with, to "you are being fired for cause". If you're given a hard ultimatum (do this by next Friday or else), or if it looks like the process is definitely heading in that direction, then you can bail.

Every situation is a negotiation. I'm not advocating outright aggressive rejection, but rather passive stonewalling or responding with a counteroffer. Ultimately it depends on your position and what value you're providing. If management loves you (or needs you), that will go a long way in a sane place. You're a known quality employee getting the job done, and someone from HR or IT is coming along and rocking the boat. Obviously if you're already on shaky ground, then you've got a lot less leeway to play around.

From one of the previous threads on FSD

> Tesla has so many versions of "FSD" or Full Self Driving because they keep shifting the post for what exactly is Full Self Driving.

> What even is FSD compared to SD, where did the need to tack on "Full" come from? And I bet it's because of them calling their lane assist cruise "Autopilot" which implies self driving.
Same story here. I graduated with my GPA in the bottom 10th percentile of my class. My SAT scores were in the top 95th percentile across the nation though. Seeing this change just makes me reflect on how much it will harm the disadvantaged kids, while giving a free pass to the people who learned how to Google the answers to their homework.

It's been said many times, many ways, but the education system is totally broken.
Hey, really appreciate the reply.
I don't fully understand your argument - are you saying FSD should be tested publicly, because we allow other impaired drivers as well? Wouldn't the solution be to strictly enforce the ban of impaired driving, on the one hand, and test FSD privately using trained supervisors, on the other hand?
it's not because "atom" isn't a technical term, it has always referred to the indivisible bedrock (greek root a-tomos or "not-cuttable").

equating information with data outside the context of information theory is precisely wrong and definitely not the same information being discussed in tfa. bits do not comprise information, you could say data reduces to bits. data != information. data is objective by definition. information must be able to inform/influence the metaphorical ledger backing ones ability to know, transferring knowledge. not all knowledge can become information and not all information can become data.
Yeah, the bowl shape is absolutely the missing piece on my Moonlander. It is otherwise perfect in nearly every other way, and the flexibility from QMK is unmatched. But I don't know how you can reconcile it with its low profile; the Moonlander looks a lot nicer to throw in my bag than the 360 when you pull the wings in...

I agree; I can't justify yet another keyboard. But there's the continuous itch to go ham and design my own split contour keyboard with QMK...

(For anyone reading this, you literally can't go wrong with either of these keyboards and they'll last 10+ years, so get one if you can.)

PNAS: Read It, or Not?

The reason people are down on PNAS is the way that members of the National Academy can, if they choose, sort of jam things into the journal through a side entrance. Here are all the details. The unusual thing about the journal is the existence of "Track I". Basically, a member of the NAS can publish up to four of their own papers per year. Each of these have to be submitted with the comments of two qualified referees, but the author gets to pick them. So a reasonable member should be able to get any sort of interesting or at least non-insane paper in there, by judicious choice of colleagues for review.
