Not the point of the posted article, since it specifically deals with the ridiculous reasons for Facebook censoring the post.

However, you seem to have stopped reading the Atlantic article after sentence you took out of context. "The authors defined an outbreak as being two or more COVID-19 cases among students or staff members at a school within a 14-day period that are epidemiologically linked. “The measure of two cases in a school is problematic,” Louise-Anne McNutt, a former Epidemic Intelligence Service officer for the CDC and an epidemiologist at the State University of New York at Albany, told me. “It doesn’t tell us that transmission occurred in school.” She pointed to the fact that, according to Maricopa County guidelines, students are considered “close contacts” of an infected student—and thus subject to potential testing and quarantine—only if they (or that infected student) were unmasked. As a result, students in Maricopa schools with mask mandates may have been less likely than students in schools without mandates to get tested following an initial exposure. This creates what’s known as a detection bias, she said, which could grossly affect the study’s findings. (Jehn and McCullough called it “highly speculative to make the assumption that identified close contacts are more likely to be tested than other students.”) McNutt believes that masks are an important prevention tool in the pandemic, but she maintained that the Arizona study doesn’t answer the specific question it purports to answer: whether mask mandates for students reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2."
When I started the company, we used the RPi as the WiFi Access Point. The trouble with them is that the built in WiFi module is pretty limited in its ability to handle many simultaneous users and to provide a robust signal throughout a space. You can buy 3rd party USB WiFi dongles, but I found that they have a high failure rate over their lifetime. i.e. not the most robust solution.

If you go the RPi route, you may find the following script helpful. This will bridge the 3rd party dongle to the local network, isolate devices from communicating to private network IPs, and forward HTTP/S traffic through the Squid HTTP proxy service. (sorry about the formatting):

Just because they can figure out how to use it doesn't mean you don't teach them how to use it. In particular what to do with the information they get from it.
This has always been the case.

They will, however, lead to parallel construction from another 3-letter agency, just by coincidence, and your opsec is as good as compromised at that point.
Expert consensus has some value, but it's often too subject to inertia and fails to adjust fast enough to new evidence. Up until 1982 the medical experts told us that peptic ulcers were caused by stress and spicy food. Except that was totally wrong.

What else could they be wrong about today? Often when you really dig into consensus statements you find that they're based on a handful of old studies which don't really meet modern evidence based medicine criteria.

Found it.

"The online advertising ecosystem resides in the core of the Internet, and it is the sole source of funding for many online services. Therefore, it is an essential factor in the analysis of the Internet's energy footprint. As a result, in 2016, online advertising consumed 20–282 TWh of energy. In the same year, the total infrastructure consumption ranged from 791 to 1334 TWh. With extrapolated 2016 input factor values without uncertainties, online advertising consumed 106 TWh of energy and the infrastructure 1059 TWh. With the emission factor of 0.5656 kg CO2e/kWh, we calculated the carbon emissions of online advertising, and found it produces 60 Mt CO2e (between 12 and 159 Mt of CO2e when considering uncertainty). The share of fraudulent online advertising traffic was 13.87 Mt of CO2e emissions (between 2.65 and 36.78 Mt of CO2e when considering uncertainty)."

Flickr is great. With a modest yearly fee I get unlimited storage to back up all my pictures. With one click I can generate a URL for any album to share it. Phone pictures are backed up automatically: I take a picture, it gets copied to Flickr.

I’m not sure I understand the article. I don’t see the fact that Flickr is not Instagram to be a disadvantage.

The UI is bad and always was bad. But it’s easy to upload a whole directory of images at once, and they have an API.

MORE: Every now and then I go there just to browse the public photographs. There’s way too much over-processed fantasy-type imagery for my taste, but also invariably some great stuff, I’m always impressed by the talent of the photographers there.
You seem to have a lot of research to do on this topic. It’d be a lengthy and at times controversial reply because it hits at a fundamental supply side vs demand side economics.

That said I do fully support a far heavier taxation on capital gains if your net worth is in the hundred millionaires.

We’ve been talking about taxing billionaires for as long as I’ve been alive and the solution seems so simple to me: income caps. We use income caps all the time for poor people but when talking about capital gains the arguments gets easily neutered because they get propose across the board, critically kneecapping the productive value of capital in capable hands.

It’s simple, just cap it at hundreds of millions at not so unreasonable rate. And all the talk on wealth inequality will have a very strong counter argument.

Instead every time we get a new tax it seems to hit everyone except the lowest sectors. Even here in Canada.

Emacs is complex enough that learning it and elisp si comparable to learning linux and bash. I mean it has package and process management, logs and everything.

As a new emacs convert after 20 years of vim I will try one day to start from scratch for learning purposes. But just like I would not use LFS for work I would not use vanila emacs either. I use debian distro for linux and doom for emacs.
No. It's very unlikely that the vast majority of people in Africa, Asia, and America are descended from these people. They do almost certainly share a common ancestor, though.

I really dislike that phrase. It comes off as arrogant, condescending - dismissing the quite real change that these drugs can foster when used with a productive intention, in a proper setting.

Not everyone uses various substances for "fun". Some people use them to understand their existence better, or do help combat debilitating mental constructs and experiences.

If you reward something, you get more of it. This creates a black market of arranging kidnappings for the tax break.

The original topic about stolen property is the patch for the same kind of loophole. Without this rule, you could arrange to have something of value stolen in order to avoid a taxable transaction. Imagine your employer giving a bonus by leaving an envelope of cash conspicuously unguarded.
It’s a good reason to not spend time examining his points, given that time is scarce. That’s not a formal argument that his claims are incorrect, obviously, but it’s a valid reason to not spend my time on him.

I'm a software engineer and have many software engineering friends and acquaintances and still even in this group of people who are almost all at least comfortable with Linux hardly any use it for anything except work or learning.

It's roughly a 50/50 split for the rest between Windows and macOS.

So how can it be remotely plausible that Linux will become a mainstream desktop/laptop OS?

JC Penney was on its way out, or at least in terminal decline. It did not matter who took the helm, the change to online shopping meant there was going to be consolidation as demand for in person shopping went down.

Even Macys is struggling, and now they have a part of the store that sells basically non returnable junk, like a dollar store.

There is typically only room for 1 or 2 retail businesses now per market segment (how much customers are willing/able to spend).
Well first I am on Safari. Which doesn't do much in terms of multi Tab navigation like Firefox and Chrome. Even current Tabs are not showed up properly in your address bar while typing. Safari wont recognise you have the same tab unless the tab is fully loaded. Which is not the case if you restart your browser from previous sessions. On Firefox and Chrome you have a list of tab to navigate them or search through it. On Safari you have Tab Overview, even though in Safari 15 they have finally fixed not to load every single Tab in Tab Overview which causes hundreds of GB of paging if you have lots of tabs. They still load non-idle tab, and again lots of paging. ( In worst case if you have hundreds to thousands of tab it could kill your SSD with Data Write )

Most of my current session stays on the right side of Tabs. I mostly finish reading all the current news and go back to do Garbage Collection of Tabs on my left. So they are more like Reading List.

The conjunction fallacy has to do with evaluation of likelihood. It's completely unrelated to the conversation so far, which has to do with interpreting whether a conjunction is meaningful in itself.

Uh, why so expensive? Some 20 years ago liquid ketamine was available over the counter in veterinaries here on Balkans, it being known anaesthetics for animals like kettle. You could buy like 2l bottle for less than 20 EUR. When it became really popular among partygoers it became harder to get in cities (also some people got reported to the police), but there was still plenty of it in villages and smaller farming towns.

One would just pour the liquid on china plate and put it on smallest temperature on a kitchener. Liquid would soon evaporate, leaving crystals ready for snorting.

Fun times. I'm glad they are over for me. I guess I'm cured :)
Right before I left Google I used my education expense to enroll in an online live writing class. It was really great:

From my experience the cost breakdown of a typical [0] satellite is on the order of 60% recurring engineering, 40% non-recurring engineering. I don't have a good sense of the breakdown for JWST but the assembly and verification campaign is huge compared to most satellites and they would have to do that again so I would expect the recurring engineering to be higher. Coupled with the fact that it wouldn't be directly build-to-print due to parts obsolescence and technology upgrades they would want to make the cost would probably be higher still. So its not going to be a huge cost savings but you could maybe do it for something like 70-80% of the original cost.

As for the timeline, that's going to be a hard one to change. Consider that all of the mirror segments and optics were delivered by the end of 2013. So the integration and test campaign of the spacecraft took 8 years. There would definitely be some optimization and lessons learned from that and you could likely shave off a couple years. However, if we are also looking at building it "now" the supply chain issues also hit the aerospace industry. There are typical things that you would expect like chip shortages, but also random things like its difficult to buy the epoxy we normally use to glue solar cells on to panels.

[0] "Typical" varies wildly here. So for typical I am assuming something like a large NASA earth science mission with building one spacecraft of a relatively unique design.
Therapy is not (necessarily) a solution to the given problem; it can help handle problems. In the specific case of estranged relatives, it can establish some level of communication, which can be a very significant step.
I take this exact brand and it is really great. just be careful if you stack with SSRIs. if I take a bit too much I started getting headaches/serotonin syndrome-esque effects. I stepped down to 2.5mg since I take some prescription meds but if you're vanilla 5mg is great to start. For me it does help relieve anxiety and boost my mood a bit.

The IRS, in theory, isn't allowed to share the information.

> If you tell the IRS you made $1 million from stealing money or dealing drugs, does the agency tip off the cops?

> Legally, it can't, unless a law-enforcement agency gets a court order granting it access to a specific taxpayer's return. The IRS isn't supposed to proactively alert other agencies about misdeeds unless terrorism is involved. In that case, it still needs a court order to disclose anything, but the IRS can initiate the legal process on its own.

It is possible although maybe not with a penny - I live in the UK and when I was 6 I performed exactly the same experiment. The only difference is I had to stick something into the top hole to wedge open the shield, before I stuck a coathanger wire across the other two (which I did while holding it with a dry cloth thankfully). This resulted (at least in my memory) in a big flash and a lot of black soot on the socket.

But for a sufficiently determined and dumb child it is still perfectly possible to ram things into the UK socket and arc it, it is just a bit more tricky.

Do you have advice about installing emacs without package manager/ compilation tools into the linux system that currently cannot have those and probably will not have those. I am looking for the easiest and safest way to do it . I do not want to break or brick the running arm based linux system. I do not want to interfere with it's main function but still want to be able to try emacs there. What is the best way to achieve minimal dependency setup?

I am still relatively new to gnu/linux and I understand that I can unpack package let's say debian package and install each lib. manually but it seems like a big headache, is there any easier way? I am looking for something like copy everything into one directory without a need to register each lib in the system?
It used to be well organised grid-ordered thumbnails (regularly displayed even when from different aspect ratios) on a white background that made picture stand out, with titles and descriptions as first citizens. Ipernity (http://www.ipernity.com/explore/whatshot) kept more or less that appearance, if you want to see).

Then in 2012 or 2013, they 'modernised' it into the current one: glued pictures with almost no separation and 100% screen occupation making an irregular patchwork; no title/description if you don't hover, I guess to accommodate a growing number of people who dumped their memory card without captioning their photos, and often without sorting them.
My issue with TLA is that it states that "There is no depression Gremlin". I disagree: I think that there may be depression Gremlin, we're just unable to reliably discover it yet.
The reason (or one of) is that it’s easier to avoid paying taxes on capital if you’re rich enough by relocating to another country besides various other schemes which allow to minimize your tax rate. So to a large extent competition between different countries keeps capital gains taxes low.

This is well written, and I learned stuff (the trailing spaces and end-of-buffer indicators).

Modern Emacs configurations tend to revolve around use-package, which wraps up the package installer logic at the end of this configuration and makes it somewhat declarative. Just going by the standards of r/emacs or places like that, it'd be unusual to see a .emacs that didn't ultimately boil down to a bunch of use-package clauses configuring stuff like LSP, Magit, company, ivy, and yasnippet.

If I was going to add just one thing to this starter configuration, it'd be a single example of use-package, to make it clear how to add and configure a package the user just read about online --- it's just such a big part of how Emacs is used now.

Keep in mind that the stock isn’t converted to cash when they grant it. It stays as stock from the beginning, so if the company goes up in value, it’s effectively worth more and more each year so long as you don’t sell it.

$180k in AAPL 4 years ago is more like $540k now. If you don’t sell the stock, even after tax you’re potentially looking at $300k over a 4 year period. Plus, if you continue to get decent bonuses each year, this grows even more. Over a typical period over the past 10 years, Apple engineers would easily expect “salary” to be considerably less than half their actual income, especially when you consider the size of a typical sign-on RSU bonus and the amount it will grow.

Now of course, the longer Apple keeps growing like this, the less and less likely it is to continue its trajectory, so I don’t know if new engineers will see the same gains, but over the past several years it would have been a pretty sweet deal.

You're right in this case. Apologies to susam.

The answer, though, is that I'm not going to bother making a repo and a website and packaging this up in a nice way, so it's always going to seem unrelated to whatever emacs thread I happen to post it on. Or I could just not talk about it, which has worked well for me in the past.

It seemed semi-related, because the goal of the OP and the goal of this is the same: to get new people into emacs. Old emacs veterans have no need for an ~/.emacs. But I really didn't intend to steal susam's thunder -- sorry -- it just wasn't marked as a Show HN.

This is a minority of the people in tech and on HN. It's not taboo in general (as those groups only make up a tiny fraction of the population), nor even taboo for those specific groups - so I think that makes calling it a "taboo" at all a stretch.
It really depends on the threat you are planing against. If for some reason I'm target of US government - I'm screwed anyway. If my concern is trusting the laptop after I left it in train station and got it back from some random dude - it's good enough.

It seems to me the answer to this dilemma is to replace her on the board of directors. Scores of other CEO's and board members have been dismissed or asked to resign over far less. I'm no PR expert, but her background and connections are certainly eyebrow raising, despite all the attempts to hand-waive or dismiss them. Surely they have a large pool of talent from which to draw a replacement with a less problematic history?
