Well, this is an administration that has proposed monitoring any transaction $600 or greater, which is a massive departure from the $10,000 limit.

A proposal like hers for a government issued bank account falls right into the federal surveillance state insofar as everyone's finances are concerned.

There's no better way to erode 4th amendment protections for your finances than a federally issued bank account.

It's not an unreasonable slippery slope to imagine that such an account would eventually morph to the point (1) where many or most of your counter parties are using the federal bank account meaning that they know about most of the transactions occurring in private accounts, and (2) where merely using a non federal account they have access to could be maligned as suspicious.

There's no direction these proposals head that don't result in more tyranny from a federal government that we have increasingly less representation and oversight over.
Before clicking the article I read your comment and guessed that the article might start with a lazily-technicalizing analogy, like "So what does shame feel like? Well, imagine you have two beehives, named A and B, with hive A having A_n bees..." and it more or less does. I say its lazy because when you write there's work in translating your mind-pictures into prose but the lesswrongs are content to describe the sketch. It's like reading someone's pre-verbalized verbal reasoning "So the hmph goes on the blah which is nnh so it's ok".

This seems pretty glib. There's pretty obviously a phenomenon where people try (or used to try) to write code for other languages (less commonly Rust, more commonly Ruby) in Go, and that code is kind of notoriously uncooperative with the rest of the ecosystem and hard to maintain. You'll find it in Go web stack libraries, in particular, or with code for people who tried to fake generics with codegen.

OA definitely owns some of the copyright as a derivative work, so even if you had a copy of the model (which you don't, and probably never will, rendering the question largely moot), you couldn't do much with it without their assent as exclusive or co-copyright-owner.
So you’re unable to “think” a sentence word for word? You cannot think the sentence “If I were to grab that apple, then I would be holding it in my hand”? You’re unable to hear yourself say those exact words in your head as if you spoke them aloud?

If so, that is truly fascinating. What happens when you try to speak a sentence in your head?
The difference is that judges, justices, and lawmakers are a part of the elite class, and will never be threatened by such abuses.

Ideally the app shouldn't work differently based on what OS the browser is running on (especially since Chrome OS is more popular than macOS these days, and that's a Linux. Not to mention Android and iOS which behave differently too.).

Most distros offer font packages that can get you the stock Microsoft fonts if you're missing those, although these days I think it would be safest for the server to serve any fonts that aren't on all three platforms by default. On Ubuntu, you can do `apt-get install -y ttf-mscorefonts-installer` to get them.
A big part of "the normal way" things are done is related to subtle (and by-design, unspoken) social reasons.

If you are open-minded, you're open to considering that the normal ways things are done might not be the best way -- which it is not along all axes, but it does incur some advantages for reasons that must remain unspoken for the advantages to be incurred.

This has two potentially bad consequences: (1) you might come to miss the advantages provided, and (2) you might erode the effectiveness of the deceitful mechanism.

An easy example is open relationships. They're difficult to navigate and often end in drama. (Personal opinion: they're awesome but require a ton of emotional maturity, and some time, to make work.) The lie here is that romantic commitment is a sacred value -- in reality it's a way to bind yourself to avoid the instability and hurt that can easily result from open relationships.

If you're not able to handle open relationships, your open-mindedness will have hurt you. And if you want to return to monogamy, your lack of belief in romantic commitment might be an impediment too.

People get burned by their open-mindedness a few times, or see examples of people getting burned around them, and they shut that part down.

It's the essence of conservatism: a belief that it's easier to break something that works than to improve things. (Forget politics, you can just think about this at the personal level.)
Yet somehow each and every day grocery store workers manage to go into their office. What makes you so special?

What is your inside information as to the incidents described in the article? Can you bring evidence that contradicts what they’ve claimed? Otherwise you are just speculating.
But many languages try really hard not to make breaking changes. With good reason...
Yes it is. But taking the highest probabilistic chance, with the highest ROI, and lowest downside seems the best right? It is better than arguing what ifs, and nuances all day?
I kind of see what you're getting at. I never had a lot of trust "spiritual authorities" to begin with. I do admire them and think its fantastic that some people are able to think about these big questions on a full time basis but it's not the kind of thing where you come away with an answer, at least not one that grants authority in my eyes.

Also bad science doesn't undermine my faith in science.
I really can’t see much difference between blockchain/coin/nft promoters and the door-to-door JWs and Mormons. They are all pushing their religion in a desperate attempt to keep the faith alive.
"Tell me you're a sinner without telling me a sinner".

This is what you're saying. I'm well aware of how puritanical religions and cults work. Heretics who speak blasphemy must be shunned for defying the approved dogma. You are the righteous, the unenlightened are the r/sinners/racists. It's nothing new.
God is not a swear word. You don't need to censor it.
My money is on no, the cameras were not on his property. The article says the spy cameras were “placed the within the boundaries of where he lives, farms and hunts.”

Since the column piece is written by the complainant/affiliate my guess is the cameras were close to his land but on public property around the river and pointed at his property.
1. The "developer" in this thread, isn't doing any dev work. Hint, there's not a single link to a PR or commit in the blog post as far as I can tell.

2. The same "lead" on this project is mostly just filing issues on other projects and writing PM-esque summary blog posts about the efforts.

3. Virtually all of the work has been on "back-porting" features from Wayland to X11.

4. A number of the things that are claimed in this post have been in progress for years and were done by "upstream" devs anyway. They're literally just included for fluff.

5. Man, this is just mind-boggling. Most (no, actually all) of these bullet points are "already done", "going to be done by upstream anyway" or "under investigation". HOW ARE PEOPLE CONTINUALLY FALLING FOR THIS? Even the Sway PR is from Jan2020.

So, yeah, I'm not interested in sponsoring and continue to be surprised at how people fawn over this. But then again, I pay deep attention to who/where the work is being done in Wayland these days.

The people that deserve funding are the ones going and actually doing the implementation work, cutting cross toolkits, etc.
Growing up I was told hundreds of times "not to believe everything you read on the internet." Parents, teachers, relatives, and older folks all told me that. It was a cliche, and us younger people made fun of it being a cliche in the same way we made fun of downloading cars. Even so, it stuck with me.

Then it stopped. No one said it anymore. What happened?
Yeah. I stopped reading after it after it called case law a “judge made law.” Inflammatory rhetoric like that tells you all you need to know about their journalistic ethics.
Too bad you have to believe in God/Jesus though.

My mom took my sister and I to a Quaker "meeting" (not church) when we were young and I had the impression that you actually didn't have to believe in God/Jesus. I could be mistaken though. Very cool experience nonetheless (cool people, no pastor/preacher, people just sitting in (meditative?) silence, pews split across the room, facing one another so there is no altar/front, etc.)
I'm not so sure, I think people are actually filling it with lots of other ideological stuff. Wokeism is one example, but Trumpism is kind of another? Similarly a lot of crypto people treat it almost religiously.

People like to have some sort of tribal affiliation and it tends to be around some sort of ideology or at least gestures towards one. I think this is often harmful, but a lot of this stuff is related to an underlying human truth.
She wrote "I had to". You wrote "Of course she's not forced to". So in effect, you highlighted the same odd word choice as me. And in my opinion, "I have to" is very different from "I don't want to for financial reasons" or "I don't want to for fairness reasons".

And yes, I was trying to find examples for how this specific article could be misinterpreted in bad faith.

I've been thinking along similar lines, and one thing I keep coming back to is the danger of making online spaces your "third place." Spending time on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, even HN, can be really dangerous when it's a third place and not just a way to interact occasionally.

I have also felt a decline in my "second place" (workplace) social connections since I've been working remotely for a long time. I get along with people I work with, but I don't go to lunch or talk at the water cooler, so it's not a social environment the way an office can be. Don't get me wrong, I love remote work, but for anyone already lacking social interaction, I can see that need for connection.
Yeah that wasn’t very clear. I was trying to say that I think most women probably don’t share GPs view.
Interesting. Where's that from, do you think? It doesn't look like the Ao3 header to me, missing most of its fields.
Interesting thought, but energy is not the same as heat. Energy is the potential to do things. Like moving heat away. Whether it will be practical to do so is another question ..
I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Wayland. I cannot share my screen with Zoom. I cannot use applications like gcolor2. It is often that I find an application just does not work with Wayland and I have no idea how to troubleshoot.

I know a lot of people complain about Linux being much more complicated to use, but my experience for the last ten years is that Linux almost always works better than Windows and OSX for the basic 90% of things. But, Wayland has changed that for me entirely, now it feels like 50% does not work.
Of course it does. Every country in the world has caused grievances on itself, it's people, and others in the name of a religion. Never particular to one region, religion, or belief.

Most teach some sort of humbleness, kindness, etc. But humans still act like crappy, unintelligent, low level beings.... because we are just that, low level.
This is definitely not the current state of the art. Errors are values with types just like anything else in the language; dynamically populating calls to errors.New() is super weird (the point of errors.New is mostly to create global errors you can compare against), your errors nest without using %w, and there are a bunch of simple libraries that wrap typed stack traces in errors, just like there are a bunch of simple libraries in Rust that exist to make error types compatible with each other.
I think one reason why religions have historically been so popular is that they fill a wide array of different needs:

• Community (friends, support group)

• Guidelines for morality / how to live life

• Shared stories / beliefs about the origin of their people

• Optimism and comfort from a belief in afterlife

• Charitable causes

In a way, I think religion has become "unbundled" over time, and these individual needs are increasingly being met my different alternatives (for example, meetups for meeting people, charities for helping others). But, of course, Americans are also just increasingly skeptical of religious beliefs.
Exploring Sysfs and the PCI Buses
I mean - script support is a big deal for a lot of use cases. I think the other big thing is that unlike Free, you can buy Home for other architectures (although only some and not all other architectures, another incredible mystery).

I'd buy Home if it came in C167, not because I want to but because $365/year is still a lot less time than I'd spend writing/finishing a C167 module for Ghidra.

Anyway, the pricing model doesn't actually make any sense no matter how you slice it, and this latest announcement is even more bizarre. I really wonder how long for this world Hex-Rays products are, the always glacial development pace is still quite slow and as a new generation of people start by using Ghidra, there will IMO be less drive to buy corporate IDA renewals going forward.

You don't. That's why Go errors are typed. You use `errors.Is` to check if any of the errors in a chain of wrapped errors is of a particular kind. It doesn't grovel through strings to answer that question.

It is very weird that this subthread starts with "current state of the art".
Not everything is a conspiracy.

Google announced their new vector search service today, and that prompted someone on HN to post a related library that they knew about. It’s certainly possible that that person works at FB, but that doesn’t mean it’s some kind of orchestrated PR maneuver.
I think you will find that Go's error handling will not change as much as you suggest. The majority of developers are extremely cautious of generics and found the status quo to be the best balance between readability and conciseness.

Convenience is not a goal of the language, generally.
Counterpoint: I'm an experienced Go dev but still think of "interface{}" as a semi-special "any" type, just because it fits my brain better conceptually. "Any type" is simpler than "an interface with an empty method set, which is of course matched by any type". I think this is a win.

HN is the hardest forum. People smell bullshit a mile away, everyone is super smart and informed, humor is suspect. I've never taken breaks from Reddit due to dejection. I've taken dozens of breaks from HN due to dejection... It does really hurt to get downvoted in a community of people you admire lol

If you think the convos are worth it, fuck it! Let the downvotes flow. Make it a game. But if it is causing you any sort of distress, there's other places online people will eagerly welcome you to.
What a daft answer. The roads are publicly owned and operated in all existing free market countries, even those that were never involved in the cold war or had any nuclear weapons. Handwaving fundamental economic features of public infrastructure only shows you are ill prepared for such a debate, but don't let that stop you from plastering ideological epithets and calling everyone who doesn't agree "communists".

There is an apocryphal story about Lenin who allegedly had an expression denoting people that can easily weaponized to fight for causes the implications of which they don't fully comprehend: useful idiots.

"Sure, I just wish it wasn’t a symbol of oppression."

For me it is such a symbol, too. But there are women who say it means something different for them and they want to wear it out of their own free will. And I am not the one telling them what they have to think, because you know, that would be opression?

edit to your edit:

And the swastika is a perfect example, too. Because the swastika is thousands of years old and the Nazis are not and just occupied it. So someone who wears that symbol might do it for way other reasons, than because he likes the Nazis.

I don't see any screen tearing on X11, with cinnamon on archlinux, on a 4K monitor, with Nvidia. No tearing when dragging windows around, scrolling text, playing fullscreen games at 4K (both native and with steam proton) or watching video at 4K. This without doing any special configuration, as far as I remember.

As for font scaling, I just choose a big enough font or default zoom level in the browsers, VTE's and text editors I use, looks perfect.

It opened to a wider and wider audience. If you were a telephone operator in the early 1920s-1940s, you would have been messaging other operators over lines already. If you were on ARPANet you could have done it in the '60s-'70s. In the '80s you could have done it with acoustic couplers, modems, and BBSes. Then came the internet. Then came the web on desktop computers. Then the web on mobile.

I can tell you where I grew up (a poorer area), always-on internet access was very much seen as a luxury until the late 2000s. Many of my classmates used the internet at school rather than at home. Now kids in the same (still poor) area couldn't think of not having internet on their phones.
You are not countering the claims of the person you are replying to, and calling them a bigot is unwarranted. They made no claims about every church. Their claim was that churches in the large have lobbied to expand privileges which comes at the expense of other people.

The Catholic church runs many hospitals. They aren't charity hospitals -- they have similar cost structures that other hospitals have and play the same billing games. In many communities they are the only option. But because of their religious ownership, they can prohibit procedures which are otherwise legal.

It is interesting that they do not discuss age at any point in the article. My expectations would be that younger generations are much less religious, and so the 3-in-10 being unaffiliated is mostly due not to current trends but simply due to aging cohorts that were very religious.

My Apple Watch 3 died today. Apple sent this price list.

What surprised me is for the exact same internals, they will charge you substantially more to fix it depending on the case material.

Aluminium is the cheapest at about £150. Steel costs just over £300 and if you were foolish enough to opt for ceramic, that will be £750.
