"Read" here is shorthand for "call a const method". You can write const methods that are not safe to call concurrently: for example, they could use "mutable" or "const cast" to perform mutation, or they could access a non-const pointer to shared state. If a type had a const method like this, the type would no longer be considered thread-compatible.
I believe Japan has something similar to what you describe.

If you want to buy cigarettes from vending machines, you have to get this card first.

Just start requiring it in regular convenience stores (or stop selling tobacco there altogether), and you're done.
By the end of 2022 it will be easier to make a list of the companies that haven't. I mean this list doesn't even have McDonalds, Twitter, Adidas on it yet.

The genie can't be put back into the bottle, you can't fight it. This tech will be the foundation for all the next generation of services. The software that kills Instagram will have NFT at its foundation and the users will all say it's better.
The obvious implication is that he will be replaced with someone that cares about Taiwan.
You bring a topic I have been myself concerned about but never managed to articulate. I'm usually performing quite well at my job, and easily get "special" attention and recognition which is good. At jobs, I tend to start motivated just by the work itself but at some point, after a few victories, recognitions, salary increases, or promotions I discover myself being that guy seeking attention and recognition and start feeling demotivated if I'm not getting it.

Perhaps, that's the big thing to solve. Being attention/recognition dependants doesn't look like being a good professional.
Lunar worked great for me on MacBook Pro 2020 (2 monitors, one connected over USB-C to USB-C cable, another one over USB-C to DisplayPort), but doesn’t work on for the same monitors connected to MacPro via 2 HDMI cables…

Any idea why?
I really love the auction algorithm for maximum-weight matching, especially the variant where bidders bid the price that makes them indifferent with their second-best option.

It's so simple and elegant.
+1 to therapy.

Specifically, a therapist that cares about your condition long-term. I went through a bunch of therapy apps with very transactional therapy sessions which didn’t get my anywhere. I eventually found a therapist I visit in person a few times a month who has numerous multi-year patients. It’s been an entirely different, enlightening experience.
I never understood why the government role in higher education is fixated on the financing.

Pay cash for school, live modestly - no bailout.

Get a loan for school, use cash for immodest lifestyle - free money!

If college loans are a problem, then the cost of college is the real problem. Let's not use government to selectively reward individuals based on how they paid rather than the price they paid.

I oppose any student loan reform or student loan bailouts for this reason. Do not believe the magician's misdirection, focus on the real issue.
I was the "kid with a CS degree". My experience interning was "There actually aren't many tech companies in your city and it's 2008 so no one is hiring"

I was a broke student so I couldn't exactly afford to relocate for a summer internship, lose my apartment, store all of my belongings and such.

I started my career with basically no experience, spent my last money on a deposit and first months rent to relocate to a new city for work after getting a job. Lost that job four months later as the company failed to meet the projections they had.

It's been a rough road. I'm doing pretty good now, but overall my bachelor of computer science definitely did not feel like an equalizer.
What is the alternative, though? Even if schools taught actual skills and knowledge, and didn’t focus on teaching to the test, we’d still want and need some method to verify that they are doing so, and that the students actually mastered the material being taught. This means at least some kind of tests.

In my opinion, the problem is not with the testing regime, or even “teaching to the test”. It’s the tests themselves that suck. The top priorities for tests designed and used today are ease and efficiency at mass administration, ease of grading, and reduction of subjective in favor of objective measures. Is it any wonder that multiple choice questions are king?

When I went to university in Eastern Europe (majored in Mathematics), in many courses we had a final oral exam. The professor would drill into you, and would not get distracted by regurgitation of irrelevant memorized stanzas, he wanted a clear explanation of everything he asked about. This approach to testing is not perfect — for one, time limitations only allow to cover rather small part of the topic, and you might get lucky to get something you actually know. At the same time, there is really no way to teach and study to an oral exam other than actual understanding of the subject matter. However, this is insanely inefficient for the grader: this makes testing a full week’s worth of constant work, as opposed to few hours of just sitting on an exam, and then few more hours grading (even shorter if it’s mostly multiple choice problems). No wonder teachers prefer the latter.
Why should anything be banned?

If it's ok to smoke once a year using whatever kind of delivery method, it's going to have to be ok to do whatever the hell you feel like with it.

Banning people from growing/harvesting/consuming plants is just silly, it's one of many ideas we will eventually have to let go of, because it makes no sense.
I wish the "Methods" section got a bit more info the assessments themselves.

These kids are a maximum of two years old. It's not like they're sitting down with math worksheets. From my (limited) understanding, most cognitive assessments in children that age have to do with responsiveness to stimuli.

It would help to know what they're testing specifically, and if it could be something extremely specific to the test that's being impacted by common covid practices, rather than the child's cognitive development as a whole.
I think the point was if you are worried about a hypothetical 50% crash (or whatever number), sitting in cash investments with near zero return isn't necessarily the best strategy. You're much better positioned for a large loss if you are up hundreds of % first (the SP500 is up 300% or so in the past decade).

I know people that have been waiting for a crash for so long that it would take something like a 75% drop in markets to now vindicate their strategy of waiting on the sidelines.
Qt, unfortunately, by nature of being C++, is much harder to link into a different language. GTK is a plain C API. So, if you’re using plain C, Rust, C#, etc, it’s a heck of a lot easier to use GTK than Qt.
Unification with an unwilling partner is basically the same as imperialism.
I disagree if the sterilization is applied even-handedly as an application of their two-child law. I am skeptical that a lineage is being exterminated if, at minimum, they can have replacement level number of births. The Uyghur population is growing faster than the Han population is.

But backing up a bit - really what I'm taking issue with is the word "genocide." We can call horrendous, human rights violating policies for what they are without having to fall back on calling something a "genocide."

Not everyone who disagrees with you is PRC funded. I would encourage you to look over the HN guidelines as you seem to have forgotten some of them. [0]

You are conflating two things that are unrelated. If some cars are red and I hate the color red, then I do not, by extension, dislike all cars. When we talk about Semitic people (which includes more than just Jews, but for simplification I'll assume we are talking about the Jewish people) we are not talking about ideologies, particularly European and Western Russian ones like Marxism and Capitalism. Many Semitic peoples do not subscribe to these European ideologies at all. To suggest that one does not agree with all the opinions someone of a particular race hold, does not suggest they dislike the man. They dislike the ideas of the man. By suggesting that a dislike of Neo Marxists post modernists is to be anti-semitic, you suggest that all Semitic people are Marxists, which strikes most as a very racists idea.

The Nazis drank water to survive. Will you cease to drink and call all of those who do so Nazis?

Also, we haven't even discussed Judaism, the Religion common amongst the Jews, or Islam, or even Christianity, all of which are related Abrahamic religions. It is quite ridiculous to suggest that a man who studies symbolism in the Old Testament is an anti-semite, and doesn't know it.

You might think I am telling all of this to harm you, to beat you in an argument, or to prove a point. I assure you I am not. I am trying to help you. Do not try to understand ideologies, seek to understand people.
>Yeah, that's what I just said.
In that case I don't see how we disagree.

Of course it does matter. The invalidity is why the entire world was opposed to the US doing so. If the US wasn't in such a dominant economic and strategic position at the time it would have had to pay a much larger price.
The problem is that we're being sold the 'meritocracy' narrative in the academical and technical circles. You often see it in HN discussions about hiring decisions (reasoning involving the "top 1% programmers" without any indication as to what that means exactly). If you have the introverted, dilligent, keeping-your-head-down, got-high-marks-at-school mentality that I assume is prevalent on HN, it can come as a shock that despite following all the 'rules' you don't get to 'win at life'. Learning that there's no such thing as 'rules' (or at least, none of the rules worth following are public or written down or even fixed) or 'winning' isn't something that can be taught in class. 'Meritocracy' is the illusion that life, prestige and status attainment somehow work like getting high grades at school and we'd do ourselves a collective service by getting rid of the notion and viewing life and its opportunities in a more pragmatic way.

The strongest case is for paragraph (d).
Sure, almost identical, but in the direction where cash is always AT LEAST AS GOOD as stock. Not in the other direction.
Google Needs to Defund Misinformation
I work in political communications, but that was an accident. I trained/was planning to do tech work for libraries and academic institutions. (So things like working for JSTOR, ProQuest, LexisNexis, etc.) They're not tech companies, but they do need tech expertise, particularly on the back end.

The nice things about academia are that if you're not on the tenure track, you don't have to spin your wheels trying to publish or perish, you get to meet and talk to a lot of intelligent people outside of your field, and they often have a decent work-life balance. The downsides are that you're not going to be working with the newest tech, people sometimes poo poo what you do/there are a lot of status games, and it's SLOW.

It does not satisfy my programming itch, but I prefer for my tech projects to be on my own time and for play.
> How so? Why is it any better than a public API?

Specifically in that using my API won't require you to pay him money. There are other reasons they'll claim but once you dig through the chaff that's what it comes down to.
I think there is most definitely conditioning going on. I watched my fiance click on one of the "accept all cookies" GDPR-prompts (it's become an antipattern) a few days ago. She almost automatically did it without thinking. I went to the same site on my laptop and if you clicked decline, it immediately brought up modal dialogs that made that site unusable. I can see why 99% of people would be conditioning to just hit yes.
Posting non-peer reviewed scientific papers is an anti-pattern.
We can talk about normal expectations without having to explicitly state that black swan events can happen. If you took a stance of “I’m not going to take any pay in equity because I saw what happened in 2001” you would have left millions of dollars on the table over the last 20 years.
Brewster Kahle and The story of the fight to archive the internet
Is there a special law targeting Uyghurs? Or are Uyghurs (due to their religion) more likely to have higher birth rates that are in contravention of Chinese two-child law?

Another question - does a genocide necessarily require an actual reduction in the population of people being genocided?

I do agree that the strongest case is for (d) (or maybe c, actually), especially if Uyghur women are being sterilized with fewer than 2-3 births.
> It is pretty close to cash.

Sure, but specifically in the direction where cash is always at least as good as stock, not in the other direction.
The quote says "Tobacco smoking has no health benefits." It goes on to make a distinction between tobacco smoking and nicotine.

No, there are a lot of strategic reasons beyond that.

People in China and Taiwan are happy as it is right now, yes. But if the status quo changes, for example if Taiwanese independence is recognized, people will become unhappy.
I would turn areas of government bureaucracy into some sort of capitalist system, where employees of the government seek to get huge bonuses for reducing inefficiency.

On the first point, yes, health benefits may be mostly related to nicotine, but you wouldn't declare an apple useless just because other sources have the fiber and vitamins without the excess sugar.
Things that don't endanger other people or their property should never be illegal in the first place. Your body is your property and yours only.

I work in political communications, but I trained/planned to work for libraries and academic institutions/companies as a tech person/tech adjacent person. So places like ProQuest, LexisNexus, or being an academic librarian who did research relating to HCI.
It's definitely subjective. As a kid wandering Paris I used to think WTF is this thing? Then as an adult I think "C'est incroyable!"

They changed their methods in 2020, so they can’t attribute this to their methods or other indirect effects of the pandemic.
This is false. If you immediately exchanged your cash to stock (as I specified in the post that you are replying to) then 3 years from now your "cash" option is worth exactly the same as your "cash + stock" option.

The dark truth is that probably, yes, it was a benefit to the Allies.
It looks like you have good dopamine hygiene. You can probably also trust yourself moderate other dangerous things like World of Warcraft, Twitter, or cocaine--if for some reason you wanted to. Keep it up.

For me the real question is: can people who have unhealthy dopamine habits heavily etched into their neural pathways be taught to change that about themselves, or is replacing unhealthy addictions with healthier ones (i.e. exercise) the best that they can do?

I wish policy would focus less on specific vices and more on helping people along such a path (if it exists). Such a license would be a good way to explore that possibility.

Ideally it would be part of something broader though. You can get a commercial endorsement on your regular driver's license, why not a "drinks-responsibly" endorsement too? While we're at it we can have "can use the 3d printers at the library without supervision" endorsement and a "licensed realtor" endorsement. You can imagine all kinds of badges people might want to collect.

I was wondering if the question is really about the gap between education and job requirement rather than the mismatch between graduate supply v.s. position demand. The gap one is certainly an important question, but it would not be surprising that most of CS graduates does not get a job relevant to their background if "the colleges supply 1000 while the open position is 100 or less".

With regard to the context of the article, the example that Uber driver gets a degree in acturial science does not tell much. Probably he is just doing worse than other graduates - even though he is qualified for an acturial job, the employer has tons of better candidates.
You’re taxed on the stock value as W2 income at vesting time. So more or less, yes.

I don't think so. The problem is that there's always going to be some amount of speculation in a market. And, it's really speculation that drives prices up beyond what they really "should" be, which eventually leads to the correction. If the speculation goes on too long, and drives prices up too high, then you have a "crash." And, absent regulation to the contrary, there's nothing preventing the market from rising too high, too fast (i.e. the market can remain irrational for arbitrary lengths of time, to paraphrase Keynes). OTOH, there doesn't seem too be a sensible way to determine what constitutes speculation, for purposes of constructing a regulation that prevents it.
Have you actually tried working on a laptop on an airplane? At least for me, it's a horrible experience - there's not enough space to use my laptop functionally.

Instead, if I want to feel productive, I'll focus on reading saved books & articles about relevant topics. They can easily be downloaded/cached to your kindle or phone before flying.

I'll also have a notebook (or recently, paper + clipboard) to brainstorm and take notes - help organize my next actions, thoughts, plans, and software designs.
Serious question: Why do the Chinese people care so much about Taiwan though? What do they want with it? What's the endgame plan?

If the vision is that everyone will be living happily ever after under the PRC umbrella, I could see some flaws in that reasoning. Like a whole population that will probably take up arms guerilla-style. I've visited Taiwan and even wearing pro-CCP colours is frowned upon. If they just want the territory and not the people and it'll end up another XinJiang style "re-education" camp, well that's obviously something unsupportable.

Also, of course Taiwan is so crucial to global supply chains that this has all the ingredients to become a world war in short order, which is pretty worrying.
Well at least by going to college you can finally understand how they misrepresented the data in order to get you onboard. It may not soften the financial burden, but hey at least you know you learned something!

Do you mean meaningful in the bull** jobs way or the moralistic way? I find the moralistic version confusing. I usually hear it applied to CEO pay, which last year was 350x the average worker. But what will ever feel like a fair or just differential? 7x? 3x? And what would be a fair metric? Are dentists less or more than social workers? What about dangerous jobs, are lumberjacks worth more than coal miners?
