Contracts should have monetary penalties only - you can't sign yourself into slavery. If the doctor breaches a contract, and the contract has provisions for what he will pay in breach, then he must pay it or have it seized (with force). We've long banned debtors prisons for good reason. There's no holding a gun to anyone's head required unless they try to stop you from seizing property to which you have a lawful claim.
> secure ways to communicate internally than off-the-shelf messaging apps

Some of the better of the shelf apps are as or more secure then many of the military internal developed solutions of many militaries. At lest when applied to use-cases outside of war zones and similar.

I mean there are top of the line security experts all around the world directly and indirectly contributing to apps like Signal. On the other hand the amount of scrutiny a proprietary military app will receive is limited.

But more important "for military purposes" includes a lot of situations you might not have considered.

Like more or less all communication done between two active members of the military, even if of duty, as long as work content might pop up in the conversation.

Or like they sending a member on break a message that due to weather forecast there is a good chance they will have to interrupt your brake for helping with "disaster relive" (which can e.g. include removing snow after some unusual heavy snow fall, or helping with cleanup after a avalanche). To just name some situations.
I can't tell whether you're describing my own comment or my parent comment. Which one are you describing here?
I, and I think many other people, didn't really 'work' at learning to type. We just practiced as a side effect of using the computer rather than, say, taking typing lessons. For someone like me, QWERTY has a difficulty curve. I think seno technically wouldn't have a curve. The inability to hunt and peck means that without explicitly setting aside time to train in steno, there isn't any way to make real progress. Mathematically, a curve should not contain discontinuities!
They could also switch to less fertilizer intensive crops. I think soybeans require less than corn. Farmers commonly switch between the two depending on market prices. Not a farmer but I think I read it somewhere...maybe 80% sure of this...
I meant that critics will give twice as much as they first intended before they were prevented by this apalling breach of Ethics. Technically correct because that's almost certainly zero. It's never a smart move to cave in to twitter mobs.
I'm really just stumbling onto the material elements of the subject after some shameless deep dives into the weird but sensical.

What staggers me, because maybe it makes it see more real, is that biophotons are increasingly being witnessed as local and non-local information carriers. In humans, but not just in humans. (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep36508, http://www.u.arizona.edu/~kcreath/pdf/pubs/2005_KC_GES_SPIE_..., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30381897/, http://www.rrp.infim.ro/2008_60_3/43-885-898.pdf —probably a lot of crossover between these, I haven't read them through)

I'm ultimately ignorant, but when you put that information beside some of the other weirdness we see in frontier physics or start to consider what that kind of thing means on various time scales and the questions that start to arise are eye opening.

It's the realm of philosophy that takes the range of information into account that really thrills me, but understanding some of the mechanics will open up new possibilities that are really exciting (if its a bit early to get that excited). Whatever. I find it exciting, and sometimes I'm amazed more people don't find it more exciting.

Exploring the Land Value Tax
I guess you are correct and I agree with your reasoning, but one thing I'd like to add to the discussion as a point is that it's difficult to measure in a scientific way the proportion of people that 'state' they want to die that actually want to die for real.

Depression and anxiety are very crippling illnesses and there are times that people that are burdened by these illnesses really feel like they want to die or just disappear or stop "ticking", but when faced with a real life chance of that happening (inside an airplane with lots of turbulence going on), they shudder in terror. Sadly, scientifically measuring that intent vs statement to the point we would be able to discern if the actual intent alone could trigger bodily changes that would enable us to just 'lay down and die' is nigh on impossible, unless we find a way around our consciousness (like an out-of-ego debug "port") to measure stuff without warning our ego that we are measuring stuff. Complicated :-)
Posted above: Been using Dvorak for 16 years now, but I didn't necessarily "switch" as I had been using a memorized hunt-and-peck style with QWERTY and needed to force myself out of that habit by removing my ability to fallback to that practice (so I had never properly learned to touch type before starting with Dvorak).

I'll sing its praises until the day that I die - but it does have disadvantages in that most applications design their keyboard shortcuts and other inputs around QWERTY users. On macOS I can use the Dvorak-QWERTY Command layout to deal with this in particularly annoying cases, but there's nothing comparable I've found on Windows or Linux and that doesn't help with things like Vi.

Not to mention I frequently find myself having to change layouts back in forth in games. A lot of games published even today have a nasty habit of using the character code instead of the keycode for keybindings, and I've gotten tired of redoing bindings in everything just to avoid pressing Windows+Space to change my layout. Additionally, since my keyboards still have a QWERTY layout of keycaps it makes it challenging when I get prompted to hit "Y" (which doesn't get used for important things usually as it's a stretch for the index finger from the ASDF position) and hit F by mistake since I look for the "Y" keycap on my keyboard - ditto when something prompts me to hit "F" and I hit "U" instead (basically the mappings between Q/' E/. F/U C/J V/K are easy enough as they're used often and are within natural reach, but once it goes outside these I start looking at keycaps and screw up).

Anyway, I'll always highly encourage people to give alternate layouts a try and I'm never going to stop - but I'd say there's nothing wrong with using QWERTY either.
Good time to grab all the git repos I guess... I've been planning to fork this to create a cheap, secure distribution system for users who own media through my service ever since it came out.

The idea was that I'd control the list of peers that it could connect to, and all the peers would be verified, authorized, owners of the media being shared.

The whole goal is to create a wide spread distribution system without having to pay a cloud provider, and to make the service as cheap as possible for the users.

Just a thought after reading the good news - ok this is great for the US and the west where there is decent vaccination.

What the hell is going to happen with the omicron spread in countries with hardly any vaccination? I mean if it really is like measles, this could be terrible.
Well he obviously wasn't coding well either. I imagine a 10X engineer who is crucial to the product continuing to run can behave pretty strangely and not get fired, but if you are an average/below average dev you should probably be pleasant to work with.

> Anecdotal stories don't paint an accurate picture

You would have thought that after 800,000+ deaths in the US people would have learned the importance of understanding statistics when dealing with these issues, especially on a place like HN, but pandemic has melted people's brains and now people are arguing anecdotes about what constitutes a "bad cold" and a "mild flu".

The funny part is that it doesn't really matter because it's not like we get to collectively vote whether the pandemic will end or not. It's pretty clear that, even given how extremely contagious omicron is, people don't care as much as the used to about a seasonal flu.

Even supposing covid sticks around and becomes "only" as bad as the flu, 10 years ago if your said it was fine to double the annual cases of flu and flu death people would have said that was insane.

Sadly if people haven't learned to reason about these problems correctly now, it means they very likely never will.

> Is building software that much different from construction? I think so.

Really I think this comes down to what you think makes experiences valuable. Obviously virtual and physical construction aren't the same, but do they provide the same benefits? It seems to me that building things is a valuable experience because it teaches kids about hard work, grit, teamwork, perhaps curiosity, and makes all those things fun. Building things virtually seems to me to provide all those same things. Maybe you think getting your hands dirty had some value, in which case yea kids are missing out, but I generally think they're able to get many of the same things with the added benefit of increased use of imagination since they can literally build anything.

Now obviously the internet is what you make of it. Like anything the the internet can be a crutch or a tool. Kids can sit in front of youtube for 10 hours a day and learn nothing from it, but I'm not sure that wasn't also the case in the past. Keeping children on track probably requires more parental oversight than in the past, but I'm not exactly sure that's a bad thing either. Exploring the internet together with your child can easily be a way to bond with them while also creating a lifelong love of building and curiosity.
Yes, as the other comment explained... because fuel vapor recovery is now built in to newer vehicles, you should no longer "top up" your tank. Some people add a little more fuel after the pump stops the first time -- this is referred to as "topping up" your tank. That extra fuel goes into the charcoal canister and may require premature maintenance costs/time.
It's not a lucky ending as much as it is the inevitable ending. Virus evolution tends toward becoming more contagious and less deadly. We've known this for a long time, and we have no reason to believe that this virus would be any different.

If viruses tended toward becoming more deadly as they became closer to being endemic, humanity (or any animal) would not have lasted very long.

If the premise is that being elected dictator in a free and fair election is undemocratic, it's an authoritarian premise. It presumes that elections are only democratic to the extent that the results agree with some "democratic values" that are separate from the process of having elections.

I agree that the outcomes of democracy can be bad. But I don't believe that bad and undemocratic are synonymous.

There are some tools that allow you to copy debug tools into a container when needed. I think all that needs to be I'm the container is tar and it runs `kubectl exec ... tar` in the container. This allows you to get in when needed but still keep your production attack surface low.

Either way as long as all your containers share the same base layer it doesn't really matter since they will be deduplicate.

It might have something to do with the ongoing pandemic. I'm really not interested in yet another article from someone who's too precious to be vaccinated.

I looked into buying one a few weeks ago but ultimately decided not to move forward. One reason was that it comes with a pre-configured list of 500 chords, so it's up to users to create their own beyond the initial list. The other was that the build quality doesn't appear to be that great (with the PCB board clearly visible).

Interesting! I had never noticed the amount of shade created by the mountain in the middle of Montreal.

It almost seems wrong at first glance, the shadow it casts is huge and it covers most of the city and far beyond. But it's probably my monkey brain that doesn't notice the gradual changes and isn't aware that where I am at that moment has less light than the surrounding areas.

What is " shade " according to this map? Do you know how much sunlight (lumens?) is lost? Or is this an extrapolation of the shape of the features? It looks like the edges are quite hard when they should be softer and have different levels of opacity? Especially when the sun is very low, because according to this image, the mountain casts a shadow all the way to the town north of the river, several miles away. I'm thinking out loud. https://shademap.app/#45.581,-73.4441,10.0642z,1641473011979...

I will make sure to pay better attention next time I'm in the city around that time.
I tried this game the last couple of days and I don't get the appeal. There is some skill involved, but there is also a huge amount of luck. For example yesterday I had "ti_er". I guessed "timer" but the actual word was "tiger". That left me with a score of 5 instead of 4. Does that say anything about my skill level as a player? Honestly, this seems to mostly be a marketing success story about the sharing score functionality and how that led to virality on Twitter.

I like this article, and there is a ton of nuisance in the image and how you should choose the appropriate one.

By chance, did you mean nuance? Because while I can agree it you can quickly get into some messy weeds optimizing an image...hearing someone call it a "nuisance" made me chuckle this afternoon
Yeah, I don't buy it either. I can type very quickly, but what brings my WPN down substantially is loading what I want to type next into my mind. Eg on typing speed tests, I can write the first sentence (if I can see it before the timer starts) much, much faster than the rest, because I can pre-memorize it. Later ones require me to multitask: read ahead while my fingers are still typing previous sentences, and this is much slower for me. If I memorize and practice a short sentence, I bet I could reach an extrapolated 500 WPM on my Kinesis Advantage with the Colemak layout with a few days of practice.
I think it's important to say that it goes deeper than not being able to imagine idealistic, utopian, or abundant futures. Fisher's point was that we aren't able to imagine any future at all any more.

And I think that actually involves Star Trek, which with its sort of 'space replicator communism' and adventurism is in itself not really forward looking, it's just optimistic, and entirely a product of its own time, namely 60s and 70s 'golden age' sci-fi.

Hang on there. This is always been about voluntary involvement. You are completely free to ignore cryptocurrency. There is no coercion at all.
Nobody is trying to suppress anything. You are free to believe, transact or vote for whomever you like. There is no loss of democratic choice. The ideology is completely voluntary.

The good thing about the parallel economies is we can both have it. You can have your rapidly inflating made up Euro, manipulated by your elected and unelected politicians and Bitcoiners can divide everything of value on the planet by 21M BTC. Thing is, as the fiat gets worse and worse, more people will choose to save in things like Bitcoin. Are you familiar with Gresham’s Law?

False. The customer may want to handle / filter the spam. The customer may be do a study of spam. The customer may be offering their customers a spam blocking service.

This is a really great way to frame it, because it really does seem to be about time/speed. I don't think we can even collectively comprehend great innovations that need many resources and time anymore, who has even the time to work on it? People need to have jobs after all.
