To your point on working on projects and having a shared interest with your kid. My dad is a doctor and has been learning to code for the past few years for fun and to build tools to use in his work. I'm a highschool student and have been learning to code alongside him. I'm a bit more advanced than he is because I have more free time to learn so when he gets stuck I help him out. Helping him solve bugs in his code is really great bonding time and I highly recommend doing something like that with your child / parent.
US common law like disparate impact is always in flux - it’s common law. The minutiae of disparate impact edge cases is irrelevant under your argument where the universal application of the 2 child policy somehow requires China to round up, sequester in internment camps, and ultimately sterilize a particular group.

I won’t bother replying to the rest of your post about religious beliefs and children because it’s an attempt to derail the conversation by focusing on details that are relevant only to the particular framing you’re advancing.
It's a trade off, I think.

Arguably AirTags raised the awareness that you can pretty trivially plant a tracker on someone's bag or car. But given that the technology exists, I'm not sure what everyone outraged expects to happen. Being able to track things and people (with their permission of course) is actually genuinely useful. So it's not reasonable (and of course ultimately unworkable with respect to nefarious purposes) to block this technology.
The AirTag was conveniently discarded by an unnamed third party.
As someone who has been around message boards and forums since the late 90’s one thing that has really surprised me is the degree to which people have started taking first person online stories seriously.

Reddit of course is full of them, as is Twitter and lots of other places. Meanwhile the incentives to successfully tell a just-so story that goes viral have never been higher. Youtube money, GoFundme, influencer opportunities, etc.

The post we are all responding to is super low effort, not even a photo, and not even a first person account. Her “friend” found an AirTag and threw it away.

Meanwhile there’s a GoFundme link right on the profile.

Just saying.

Here's a paper talking about the obvious flaws to consider in this kind of research in general:

Their finding that scientific publishing made up a greater percentage of "published" (but probably not read) words seems the obvious candidate here.
It might not have been before, though. Maybe two people graduated at the same time. One person lived it up, making the minimum loan payment so they could afford to eat out, go on vacations, etc. The other person was "responsible" and paid off the loans early. Now the government is effectively rewarding less responsible behavior.
Does ls really follow the unix philosophy though? GNU ls can show file permissions, modification timestamp, author, size, sort the listing etc. It does a lot more than a simple directory listing. We've just gotten used to its current extra functionality.

USA has absolutely been in economic decline since the 70s. Which was okay because USD is the global reserve currency and Washington can just print USD to buy things and offset the declines in productivity/etc.

However, once the USD loses global reserve status, USA is in extreme economic trouble. In 2021 alone, it will have over $1T trade deficit in goods.

> If there is a reason why Lithuania hasn't evacuated their US embassy, …

That is a simple one. The US is not hurting Lithuania the same way China is hurting Lithuania. This is the reason why Lithuania evacuated their Chinese embassy and not their US embassy.

Your question seems to imply that Lithuania drawn a big tally of the Chinese “moral failings” in general and decided to withdraw. This is not what happened.

Lithuania allowed Taiwan to open an embassy in their country. In response, the PRC recalled its ambassador in Vilnius, Shen Zhifei, and demanded that Lithuania recall its ambassador in Beijing, Diana Mickevičienė.

Following this Lithuania experienced a trade distruption. Shipments to and from Lithuania didn’t clear Chinese customs and invoices went unpaid. It goes as far that assemblies containing Lithuanian parts get blocked by the Chinese.

This is not rhetoric. This is not some feel-good measure to communicate displeasure with China in an abstract. This is a trade war.

Now I ask: is the US doing anything like this to Lithuania right now?

1. I think it is up for debate what the way France treats ethnic and religious minorities, and their extreme focus on eliminating any sense of cultural difference from the public sphere constitutes.

2. I am not saying that "cultural genocide" is not the appropriate term. Honestly, it probably is. I'm merely saying that "genocide" is not the appropriate term for a "cultural genocide."

The purpose in referring to the repression of the Uyghur's as a "genocide" without qualifiers is to try to take some of the distaste people feel for mass killings and apply it to this.
Not clear what you're even implying. Cost of financed goods was lower in 70s and 80s due to higher rates.

So when people talk about how easy it was for the last generation to buy a house or pay for college, part of that was due to higher rates suppressing prices.

The lower rates go, the higher prices go, and the ability to live a debt free life becomes diminished. Some say it's ok because the lower rates offset the increase in price.

I am trying to find the link of a website, I saw a few days ago. It was a job site that you paid you while you found a new job, started on January, was calling like root or something? Had a dark website.

I cannot find it and I am interested in exploring it again.

Do like the state of Hawaii was going to do, and just gradually increase the minimum age to purchase, until it's up to 100. If you live to 100 and still want to smoke, go for it.

IMO, the principle is sound, but you could certainly argue about the rate at which the age should increase. 1 year per year seems like it would do the least harm overall.

I do agree with much you write, I don't think many care as long as their status quo stays the same. I have not drank any Kool-Aid I just find it hard to watch the suffering in China. The changes needed would effect the people at the bottom the most as it would be too expensive to live if the cost of everything went up 25%. I don't know the final answer but I don't think we can turn a blind eye to China's human rights violations forever.
> Pipe smokers don't seem to suffer the fates of cigarette smokers.

Oh yes they do. See eg [1]. Also logically, both are inhaling smoke from burning organic matter. There is no way it is not going to be very unhealthy, once you look at the chemical composition of the smoke.

[1] Between pipe and cigarette smokers, no or only minor differences were found in mortality from any cause and the specified smoking-related diseases. Pipe smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking.

An immediate hypothesis was that Omicron may have developed in a single immunocompromised human patient over a period of weeks or months[: ... y]ou don't just immediately kill everything off - you give the virus or bacterium a chance to overcome a lesser challenge before turning up the pressure a bit more, letting mutations accumulate and try their worth over and over as the challenge slowly increases. That's just what's going on inside a coronavirus patient if they can't mount a full immune response. The virus and the immune system engage in a prolonged battle where neither one can land a decisive blow, and things just keep on evolving. This is why they tell you to take your full course of antibiotics when you have a bacterial infection, and why effective vaccines actually suppress variant formation: if you kill off the pathogens as quickly as possible, they don't have time to explore their mutational landscape

It's hard to understand the point of this tiny little thing, but also disappointing to see from the table that the inkplate 6 has no RTC. That seems silly. But anyway, I generally want anything like a wall display to be bigger rather than smaller.

It looks like the inkplate 6 plus (more expensive successor to 6) does have an RTC, so they caught on. The inkplate 10 has it too.

> defrag stopped being satisfying around the time that I got my first 50GB HDD

In the rare circumstances when I was in need of actual defrag of a heavily polluted drive > 40Gb I opted to take a filesystem aware image with Norton/Symantec Ghost and just re-image it back. Worked fine and by the time of 100-200Gb drives there were a USB HDDs so I wouldn't even need to unscrew the PC case.
For me, almost everything starts at my work. Not sure what's wrong with me, maybe I'm too engaged, maybe I feel too responsible for my job... But my actual well-being is almost 100% related to the work.

I'm stressed almost all the time. Won't go into the details, just the management sucks big way.

Long story short, after work (including weekends) I'm so tired that I need a lot of totally lazy time. I strive for activities which are the least engaging. Even when I waste my spare time playing games, I'm looking for games that don't need much attention and are easy to play. With one hand only, if possible.

In November, I was on paid leave for 3 weeks. First I got a nasty infection, and just after that I somehow strained my back.

From the perspective, I don't believe how much stuff I got done during this time. Among others, I designed a board game about off-road driving that I had been thinking about for a long time; I was programming a lot (it's just a hobby for me, I don't work in IT); I kinda reconnected with a brother I hadn't spoken to in a long time... Had time to cook, had energy to clean flat thoroughly.

And all that being sick and having back pain.
And it was enough to not worry about job things.

It feels like I could do anything if I wasn't so stressed all the time.

This post is so typical of all scientific posts to HN.

Person posts negatively to the research and they never look at p valued or sample sizes. Also, they disregard any other possible research .

Then a few to a hundred posts refuting the parent with anecdotal evidence of both positive and negative outcomes especially when science doesn’t work in anecdotal evidence which is the point of science and it basically shows that they didn’t read the story either.

The big problem is that science isn’t one sided. That papers are cherry picked from preprints or even Confrence and journals where one out of ten papers in a Confrence or a journal publication refute the article regardless.

> Most students I know who have borrowed are struggling.

Many people that didn't borrow money are also struggling. No reason to make the existence of a loan a pre-requisite to receive a bailout. Why isn't the fact that you paid for college sufficient? Why is the conversation only about debt?

> Loans aren't free money

Yes, bailing out student loans is free money. That is the conversation we are having.

And considering only bailing out student loans without a provision for reimbursing students with similar backgrounds that didnt finance college or did but paid off loans early is incredulous. There is no reason the solution to the price of college is to selectively bail out people that choose not to repay their student loans and ignore everyone else.

I have to wonder if anti-fingerprinting is the wrong approach to privacy invading advertising. There’s an inherent asymmetry between the resources available to those who build these systems and those who try to stop them.

I’d love to see more stuff like CCPA. As a California resident I can simply tell Google that my data is not for sale, and they’re obligated to respect that regardless of what fingerprinting happens.

This isn’t an ideal solution, but the whole issue of privacy seems like a people/politics problem we keep trying to solve with technology.
While people agree that the genders are imbalanced at Google that doesn't mean there is any reason to think that traits that typically differ within genders differ in different ways within Google. The example I gave previously is of height, I still think that's relevant. Just because Google is X% female and Y% male and X << Y that doesn't mean that we should necessarily expect females at Google are as tall or taller than males. They might be, but we have no reason to expect that. Why should we default to other expectations for different traits that are unrelated to their work? e.g. cooperativeness or assertiveness?

My earlier point, which you seemed confused about, is that Damore was fired for disagreeing with the orthodoxy. You seemed and seem to be implying that he shared his opinion in an incorrect. You write that he "finally posted it in a very large group" as if this were some crime. And yet, if he were expressing Google dogma, it wouldn't have been a problem. This illustrates that the problem is not where he posted his feedback but simply what he posted.

Actually it does go away. A sovereign country can only go bankrupt when its currency stops being respected. Unless/until that happens, it can spend whatever it wants on its own people.

A country that can afford trillions in tax cuts for the very rich, financial stimulus, and defence spending can easily afford a one-off loan jubilee.

The real reasons this won't happen are political. Loans are a slaver's whip, and financial freedom is a horror that can't be tolerated for those who live below decks and need to be available to work on demand.

But it isn't.

Officially Taiwan is not a sovereign country.

The status is controversial,
it's similar to Catalunya in Spain (see what happened to Catalan leader Puigdemont) or Flanders in Belgium, but Taiwan is not officially a country.

I think that if someone called Fort-de-France a country, France would correct them.

On the other side of the spectrum, if someone says that Vatican and San Marino are Italy, they would protest.

To be honest, I don't see how you can look at American drug laws and come to this conclusion. It's certainly what we say we do, but when you actually look at the laws it place, be it drugs, gambling, marriage or any number of other things it becomes obvious that our "free society" only extends as far as the freedom to do those things the powers that be approve of.

edit: my mistake, missed the part where they threw away the original air tag.
The only significant differences between AirTags and other devices are the fact that the victim’s phone might be used to transmit their own location and the widespread availability and marketing of AirPods compared to other devices. Apple can’t really do much about the latter (other than discontinuing them), but it seems like they could partially address the former by having each phone only transmit the location of non-owned AirTags a single time. This might not work if the victim’s car if in heavy traffic where phones in other cars can transmit the location, but it could at least help in cases where a single car is driving home alone.
