Some further insight if I may. The urban dictionary definitions provide some of the current interpretation. And one interpretation is that the woke movement is pretentious.

You could argue that accusing a target of being pretentious is being pretentious, except that it may be a fact. So we have to keep digging, a quest for the truth rather than just adopting one of the existing interpretations.

Also to note, being pretentious doesn't imply conscious act. Like arrogance, the subject isn't necessarily aware, although it may be.

Are woke supporters pretentious? Either way, let's accept some may well be, and if so, it wouldn't be reasonable to dismiss anyone calling that out as pretentious. Not dismissing the fact some of the wokes opponents may well be the ones being pretentious, or as pretentious as the woke. In any case it has become a sided political clash, we will only settle to a predominant interpretation on this matter once fight is over.
> Mouth-to-mouth isn't critical, but clearing the airway is.

Sure, but that goes without saying. Anybody who's been taught DRSABCD should know that.

Its also the reason why the FIRST thing you do when someone is choking is call for an ambulance (ideally on loudspeaker so you can get on with it at the same time, or, preferably get someone else to, if available). Even if you are successful in dislodging the item, they will still need a once-over by a trained medic because if you did it by the book it comes with side-risks.... so whichever way you won't be wasting the ambulance's time.

If you start trying things on choking and find you're not getting very far and then call an ambulance .... it'll probably be too late.

(Goes without saying that for heart issues, ambulance is also a high priority, but choking is far more time critical in the grand scheme of things).
Hard to answer, you might as well ask "what exactly does this not very defined group want?".

Let's take feminism for example, which is generally considered as pertaining to woke culture, what do feminists want? Well you have sex-positive feminists, sex-negative feminists, you've got the ones that want to legalize sex work, the ones who don't, abortion at every stage no matter the circumstance, abortion in hospitals depending on term, trans inclusive, trans exclusive, men inclusive, men exclusive, men-can-only-be-allies... And I'm not even mentioning different waves of feminism.

It's hard to nail down what it pushes, exactly, but I'd say that a focus on identity politics as opposed to economic issues is a constant. A character existing solely because of their identity, disregarding if it adds anything is, I'd say, peak wokeism.

And I've no doubt many will disagree with that, as some others will with any other take.
Coming from a similar background product-wise: the struggle is real, and while file syncing and sharing is great and achievable it only allows you N user retention/acquisition, and thus M profit potential. If you (or your investors) demand M*1000 of that, you start looking for a way to usurp not only the user's file syncing needs, but also document editing, calendars, email, contacts, backup... anything that is within reach. This is exacerbated by the fact that more and more vendors (such as Adobe and Figma) drive away from "files", which effectively forces you to use _their_ cloud storage solution. When you are Dropbox this is not a very sweet spot to be in, because Adobe has _both_ the apps for creating projects _and_ the storage/sync, but you only have storage/sync.

As long as cloud storage needs to grow exponentially at any cost, feature bloat of the kind Nikita is describing will continue. Most likely Syncthing is so good exactly because they do not have these extrinsic pressures.

Add to that the fact that in a bigger product org, the way you get promoted is by shipping "your" feature. Quite often it would be a feature no user would ever want, but it is much more the problem of selling "your" feature to management internally versus selling it directly to the user.

A great example of a solution which is local-first, allows you BYO cloud storage (of multiple kinds) and simply offers its own cloud storage at a small markup is Arq, and we are blessed that it does not have the pressures I have described above.

Urban Dictionary is a wisdom of the crowd. The most upvoted entry is sometimes a troll or funny (if the latter: let's say we disagree on taste of humor). As another poster said, need to be cautious, and read multiple entries. Or simply don't use it unless you don't have another source (this word is in the dictionary [1]).

Calling someone woke is discrediting the other person. Its like a signal to other people (especially the people who also often use this word), 'this person is politically aligned with X, this person cannot be right'. Its an insult, but so is the term 'wappie' (used in The Netherlands for people 'who don't believe in corona'). Faggot (when not in UK referring to gay person), nazi (when the person clearly isn't). These are all examples of insulting terms. They're polarizing. Even calling someone a communist when they clearly aren't is insulting, because communism is historically related to dictatorial regimes as well as purges (Stalinism comes to mind).

If they call themselves a communist (or a liberal, or a conservative, a nazi, woke, or whatever), fair game. But calling someone else that way when they did not identify with such is uncalled for. Because you put them on a political spectrum, with all kind of strings and assumptions attached to it.

Now, interestingly, calling someone a nazi or a faggot gets you downvoted or banned on most forums, but with a term like woke people still get away with. Not sure why.

According to Google Translate, pretentious translates to pretensioonikas in Estonian as the most popular translation, so it seems like it got borrowed from English (not implying it originates from English, I don't know about the etymology).

Hi Varun! This seems like a great project! Have you thought of open sourcing your project? (maybe you already have, I just haven't seen it yet)

I've been looking for an open source alternative to kahoot and this looks like a great option ;).

Keep up the great work!
> For a specific doc fix, a PR is indeed the way to go. If it's not a simple fix, creating an issue on the tracker may also be called for.

That is precisely what I did. As noted, there has been no indication (by activity on the issue or PR) that having filed these helped or is appreciated. Hence discouragement.

It is one of the hard lessons of open source maintainership that, without providing feedback to contributors, there is no demonstration of the project's appreciation. Therefore new contributors will (correctly!) conclude that the project does not appreciate these efforts.

> it does spread the idea that the CIA is incredibly capable

That’s hardly in dispute, is it?

> and individuals can sway overall policy

Certainly not the impression I got from at least the first three films. The Bourne Identity ends in an unceremonious coverup of a failed operation, and the sole “idealist” character in the next two films torches her career as well to go to the press. Which depending on your view could be considered exactly what Snowden did, for better or for worse.

Certainly typical tropey US spy movie fare (American characters playing CIA assassination games in Europe, etc.), but more revisionist Western than John Wayne.

When global gas prices rose this year, a black market emerged in Kazakhstan to smuggle out gov't subsidized gas to neighboring Kyrgystan and China (sold at triple the price). As the price of global gas went up, this black market became more profitable, more organized, and more controlled by organized crime.

Remember also that Kazakhstan's largest city (and former capital in 2019), Almaty, is located by the Southern border. In an effort to curb this black market, the domestic price of gas raised much closer to the global market rate. Not surprisingly, the unrest was most violent and most well organized in Almaty.

There is also an undercurrent of ethnic conflict between the ethnic Kazakh people and the ethnic Russia population. The former government has been working to switch from the Cyrillic alphabet to the Latin one, sending out language police to ensure businesses don't do business in Russian, and probably most importantly, talking to the US to establish US air bases.

Mullvad gets a lot of "grassroots" support in comments, I've noticed here.

I've had a subscription with them for a couple months, but I recently found out they intercept DNS requests[0] (supposedly to prevent against "DNS leaks"[1]).

For the "keeping me private while torrenting" use case, Mullvad is probably fine, but personally I'm planning to move back to a private VPS for tunneling out of my local ISP.

I think you are right that it's not a valid use case anymore, even if they still assert that it is, because the reality is that it caused this problem. Even if they had responded to me immediately, my phones would have been shut down overnight.

Also, I was looking into the pricing a few months ago and its kind of expensive because I'm actually paying for two text messages: One for the incoming one, and one for the forwarded one.

The code has been working this way since maybe 2015, possibly before (its been so long, I can't remember). I've been using Twilio since I think 2010. I started out just doing call forwarding and later on added text messaging when customers started to expect to be able to text message us.

At the time, it was a core use case. There was a tutorial and everything "Forward text messages to your phone in a few lines of code".
I for one enjoy the plurality of opinions! I much rather live in a society where people argue and don't agree on things, than in a society where there is one 'correct' opinion on everything. Even if I'm on a particular bandwagon, I don't necessarily want everyone else on it. If my bandwagon is actually heading for the cliffs, it's going to be the people not on it who may happen to focus my attention to the imminent crash so to speak.
Remember when the US government thought it would be a great idea to mess around with their Daylight Saving Time schedule with only two years warning?

I remember when the candy lobbyists changed DST with no warning so that kids could trick-or-treat an hour longer and I had to update tens of thousands of servers outside of a change window. TZ data changes all the time to meet the needs of all the countries. I honestly don't know how developers keep up.
> In the 1990s there were loads of superstar Black actors.

I think if you look at overall black representation among actors, you will see it was very low. If you look for some in your memory, you will find them of course.

Even now, almost everything is led by a white person. Even in animation, almost everyone is white. Or look at sci-fi movies, where there are often as many or more alien species as non-white humans.

> The woke with their CRT and racial segregation policies (telling children that race really matters a lot) have ruined everything.

What is being told the children by whom? What does CRT say? If you dispute that race has a large (though certainly undesireable) impact on life, you are living in a sci-fi fantasy.

> ruined everything

I think it has, or threatens to, burst many bubbles, which 'ruins' many fantasies. Just talk to people with actual experience of it, such as black people, and you will find out just how isolated we have been from reality. Most white people don't do that because they don't have many black people in their personal network, which should be a signal.
No it's a false dichotomy because you are using the behavior of USSR as an excuse to give USA a pass.

Ask HN: What to do with crypto assets if you feel guilty?
There must be many people who feel guilty about owning crypto assets because of its environmental and societal impacts.

In this thread, let's discuss ways in which people can get rid of their crypto assets, and at the same time contribute to crypto's downfall or devaluation, or to offset the impacts somehow.

This is not intended as a discussion about whether or not crypto is good or bad.
It’s fantastic that Python is moving to github. It’s so frustrating that projects like django, emacs, python, etc have insisted on using these antiquated development workflows and that some of the old timers even insist that they are better and that github is for “mindless kids who put PRs up thoughtlessly”.

Sounds like you should go and read PEP 581 before criticizing their decision!

I worked in two different countries in European Union, and in both as far as I can tell (ianal) it’s perfectly legal to share salary information. Labor code states what the limits of what you can do are, and also that the contract can not be more restrictive than the labor code is.

However, this myth of illegality of sharing your salary information has been perpetuated by the employers to maintain an upper hand in negotiations. And it’s what keeps down the TCs in Europe, in my opinion.
When it comes to "queries" keep in mind that I'm not saying you should call "Model.objects.filter(...)" in the template (in fact that would be very difficult to do unless you pass a "Model" reference to the template). You still do that in code.

However due to how Django handles queries by default, calling the ORM won't actually execute the query until the queryset is evaluated in most cases (unless requesting a single object or doing an aggregation), so your queries are still technically "ran" from the template - even if you are doing prefetch_related.

I personally don't have a problem with that; explicitly casting the queryset to a list before rendering a template seems like unnecessary boilerplate and still doesn't actually isolate you from the "N+1" queries problem if your template then accesses an object's relation that hasn't been prefetched.
I wounder whether Java is usually used for extra-large projects just because it shepherds developers into more-less readable way of doing things.

So that even multi-year hundred-people dozen-companies project still at least runs.

Of course, I've seen with my own eyes that even that could be broken with enough courage (seen a company ignoring all NPEs in main()), but on average Java projects stay more readable, than, say, Python.

I reckon it's more that he thinks that nationalism and economic self-interest are more stable than liberal democracies pursuing policies with enlightened self-interest (e.g. supporting immigration and free trade). He appears to view the world along a stable / chaotic axis, where stability requires an umbrella of hegemony structured in opposition to another hegemony.

It's certainly a hypothesis, but I think it's more descriptive than prescriptive, but he risks turning a bit circular: arguing that a certain model of the world is the only stable model, while simultaneously arguing that other models should be torn down because they're not stable - adding to the instability.
Among the countries that today maintain the same constitutional order as they have for centuries are democracies. Switzerland, the United States, the UK come to mind. All autocracies that existed 100 years ago have been overthrown—multiple times in many cases.

In what way is democracy to be considered destabilizing?

Looking at history and at the present moment, one could say that instability is an inherent feature of human society, but that democracy substantially reduces that instability.

> The staff at the UK building I was visiting had a defibrillator in their office and one of them had been on a training course.

I have a Philips HeartStart at home. None of us are high risk (we're not obese, fit), or had family history of heart disease. We just like gadgets, and why take a chance?

The last company I worked as an employee at had defibrillators on every floor. While I had to take diversity training, and sensitivity training, I was never required to take -- or offered -- a class in defibrillator training.
No, you provided an unusual, very specific example, and strongly implied that you would fire any of the nannies you employ if they became pregnant. That says a lot about your mindset.

Fact is, there are certain fundamental costs and risks you quite rightly have to bear when employing others. In most countries that includes a reasonable amount of maternity leave, sick leave, paid vacation, and so on. If your business can't sustain those costs then it's not healthy enough to be employing people.

Long term paid illness at 70% of a person's salary is something fewer countries have but there, again, there's reasonably-priced insurance that you can take out that's specifically targeted at and priced for small businesses. Large businesses don't need it.

Nobody is assuming that businesses have infinite resources, and this is no different to any other regulation that affects the cost of doing business. We accept them because the overall societal benefits are worth it even if it means some small percentage of small companies makes less profit or may not exist in the first place.

> Also if a job makes you sick, you should switch.

That's a terrible argument. Not only is switching not always an option, especially for low-wage jobs, but if we allow widespread abuse of employees then there usually aren't better options to switch to.
“Do you feel excluded? Good its working”
If you do end up deciding to pull the plug on your streaming subscriptions (I did last year), an illegal but largely safe alternative is to pay for a Plex share. I pay about $3/mo for access to a fellow's server with another few dozen people and have access to hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies. It's all a fairly manual process, and it takes some digging (I found mine on /r/plexshares), but when it works, it works great.
For me that happens when there are two or more nontrivial and longer-running tasks at the same time that have a certain level of uncertainty/difficulty associated with them. I can’t really focus on one because the other one is also in the back of my mind worrying me, so I procrastinate to avoid either.
Sonos has worked hard since its founding to quietly amass an impressive stable of streaming audio IP.

It's not a matter of "if" anyone is infringing on their IP. It's a matter of "who can they reasonably win a ruling against".
That is exactly what I wish my parents did with me (my meltdowns usually started after few answers of "It's a tradition/rule") and what I do with my kid. I think for me growing up one of the most important person was my 5-6th grade teacher who instead of punishing me for doing something wrong actually took the time to understand me and tell me the logic behind why I shouldn't do it - so now instead of being punished for some specific silly reason I couldn't understand, I could get a better understanding of society and apply that logic to a wider spectrum of situations. And he understood that if he just explains me stuff like that there's no reason to punish me as it won't happen again anyways.
