I’m glad he wrote this. One of the things I’m the most disappointed in over the last year is that the other living presidents haven’t strongly come out against the events of January 6th (and, preferably, the claims of fraud leading up to it).

I realize it’s traditional for ex-presidents to step out of the office and largely step away from presidential politics (except to promote a candidate).

But I feel like following that tradition over the last year has done a very large disservice to our democracy.

If Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama had released some sort of strong joint statement I think it may have meant a lot.
> They did not report his location to the authorities

Nonreporting, whether or not one believes it is immoral, isn't the same thing as assistance in evading arrest. The government can conscript citizens into active assistance in enforcing the law, but issuing a warrant doesn't do that.

Nonreporting is legal, assistance is a crime (“accessory after the fact” is the general term.)
Although I'm unfamiliar with the details, the pilots need to continue flying to maintain their type ratings.

Perhaps Lufthansa/Brussels Airlines could have used single-engine propeller planes (think Cessna 172 or the many other aircraft in its class) to decrease the cost and environmental impact?
Google itself is part of Big Tech Social Control. They're not willing to engage in services where they're not ultimately in control, like RSS.

Is there more to this than creating the new binary and renaming it into place? I think it even works on Windows.

I have to say, the cognitive dissonance in our modern time is pretty crazy to me. Yes, the Jan 6 riots were bad and certainly embarrassing. No, I don't think that a bunch of MAGA morons running around in the capitol is a serious threat to our democracy. At the time, I just thought it was more pathetic than anything else. We have a freaking military to safeguard against these kinds of things. But if I said that in public then I'd probably be called some kind of X-ist.

Meanwhile, the BLM protests last summer changed my life pretty drastically. The dystopian free speech crackdown is still ongoing. My old college town got completely boarded up. Literally every major city in the US experienced violent unrest for months. And the craziest part? You STILL aren't allowed to talk about this without being called an X-ist or being ostracized.

One event was just one day, and I only experienced it through the news, and it was literally a bunch of idiots running around for less than an afternoon. The other crippled US cities for months, prompted a wave of censorship, and inflamed social tensions like I have never seen before. But no, the first one is the threat to democracy, because my media overlords told me so.

I'm aware that this probably isn't a very popular opinion, please know that I don't mean it in ill will. I just think it's kind of absurd that we can freak out and denounce one thing but not even criticize the other.
That's like saying that a Leninist system stops being Leninist when its vanguard inevitably becomes corrupted, because its vanilla state is - in theory - democratic. But that's ridiculous, each system should be held accountable for the outcome of its incentive system, not just its vanilla state.

The parental controls on iPhone actually work, unlike on Android. I found it very easy to setup my daughter's iPhone so it just can't be unlocked during school on school days. The only way I could figure out how to do this on Android was using apps that wanted high privilege levels, which I just wasn't going to do. Plus, my kids already know how to use an iPad, so iOS was a no-brainer.

The kids use Chromebooks all day long and all the apps on their phones are Google apps, so it's not like Apple has some kind of monopoly on their virtual lives.

OT: > learning music theory can harm someone’s ability to compose music. If you’re a pop songwriter, perhaps

This is a funny take on it as pop music is 99.9% just some basic music theory put in the shaker and than pressing the random shuffle button. The rest is mostly just dull and boring work.

That's the reason why after people once figured out how to actually do it are able to produce constantly hits for decades thereafter.

Are you talking about PCR tests, or antigen tests?

All I can tell you is that this week, my Aunt and I were both flying out of EWR. She needed a PCR test for the flight which was supposed to be Tuesday, and she started looking on Friday, but it was almost impossible to find anywhere with an appointment available before Thursday. And even those gave a very fuzzy 1-3 day estimate for results, which is quite unhelpful when you have to take the test within 72 hours of departure.

She spent an entire day trying to find somewhere which would take walk-ins, and eventually found a place through a fiend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend who could get her in, although she did have to push the flight back by a day.

From my perspective, this just seemed totally broken. I don't understand how there could not be a vendor, easily discoverable through Google which could deliver same-day or next-day results at whatever price the market would bear, even if it was $300 or $500 or whatever.

It felt like being in a developing country where things just can't be depended on to work properly.

> otherwise it's not that important and doesn't need to be done

Except that this decision is often not up to the code author, because the tooling rejects for example committing changes until all discussions are resolved (see Gitlab for example) and some @holes make their quest for any reason not to resolve the discussions that they started until the code author writes the exact code with the exact words in the exact indentation with the exact architecture, etc that those @holes like, which makes the whole code review like a torture and the REAL productivity killer. Not to mention that this does not provide any improvement to the code base either in most cases.
Okay, just because a rat works hard to get out of a maze doesn't mean it knows it is in one. When your interviewer asks to video record you, then proceeds to ask questions while refusing to look at you and pounding away on their laptop keyboard saying they are taking notes. Mind you this goes on for about 4 hours with multiple people that appear to be performing some sort of unethical psychological experiment to see if you're a good fit for their cult.
I disagree.

I think good interfaces wrap these intricacies in powerful metaphors that build a bridge between the human and the computer, and that it is right and proper that the human meets the computer more than halfway. I think things like desktops and video games as admin tools* are poor user interfaces because they present poor metaphors for how work is done or how concepts are arranged, instead of good metaphors for computation.

This creates brittle interfaces that are difficult to learn and troubleshoot because

I think the terminal is an antiqutated interface that needs to be modernized, but there's a good reason it's still used. Bash is a pretty reasonably metaphor for computation. When things go wrong with your computer, you're better able to reach into it's guts, hear the hum of it's engine, and figure out what's wrong. As I said, it's antiquated and hostile to newcomers, so ultimately it isn't that good an interface. But there is no ceiling for how well you can master it or what you can do with it.

Contrast that with a desktop interface, where if things go wrong, your only option is to muck about in a settings application. If your needs have been correctly anticipated, this works like butter, with very little friction. If your needs have been incorrectly anticipated, it works okay, but is probably frustrating. If your needs have not been anticipated at all, you may be able to find a workaround, but only if you have a high degree of mastery in the interface. And you may be out of luck.

Additionally, achieving this high degree of mastery is difficult and not generally worthwhile, because these interfaces are subject to frequent changes. You don't accrue more and more skill over time throughout your career, unless you happen to work in this industry or are a motivated power user. And as you upgrade your OS, things are moved around and tweaked, and your mastery degrades.

I realized this was the case when my hands were injured for 10 months from typing, and I could only compute on my phone. I couldn't make anything, I could only browse premade apps and pray my needs had been anticipated. I couldn't fix anything, my only path to getting useful debugging information involved a computer. I was frustrated and felt like I didn't understand what my phone was doing or why it wasn't working. And I realized that is how most people feel about their computers.

I feel that after this comment, and it's parent, and it's parent's parent, I should address the topic.

No, I am not the smartest person here. I understand that. A few days ago I asked a question and people told me to get more involved in HN with commenting and posting and such. People also warned about gatekeeping. I had seen it talked about with regards to HN before, but never really noticed it. So then I try to get more involved and now I understand.

I am not trying to be an "armchair contrarian" or "backseat driver" or anything of the sort. I am just wondering out loud on the internet. And I don't think I was JAQing off either.

Counter-point (and I'm a manager):

Every single team I've managed, I've given the lowest performers a huge benefit of the doubt, and a long timeline for improvement. In some cases, it wound up being a PIP->firing. But more often than not, I wind up trying one thing after another with the lowest performers, because I so much want to believe in them. They're always nice people, but they don't deliver. They say "I'm working on X... I'm still working on X... Will have something ready in 2 weeks... I hit a blocker, it'll be another 2 weeks." And I try to help them, unblock them, mentor them, reassign them to some other task that might be better suited. But the harsh reality is that many many people are just not good developers, no matter how much you both want them to be.

So on every team I've ever managed, if I'd been forced to put the lowest performer on a PIP, it would have been good for the whole team. And I think I'm probably not alone in this.

(Of course, this applies only to a limit. At some point, you've eliminated the actual low-performers, and shouldn't ever manufacture a PIP just to meet a numbrs threshold.)
Capitalism? The US healthcare system is the most socially funded healthcare system in the world by a long shot. Not much capitalism to be seen there.
I know someone that did the initial internal report to Apple about this years ago. This is exactly what it is. They use your contact data to create what are essentially graph nodes in a database, even if you've never signed up.

Not sure how much of that has changed since then. But contact data is by far the most valuable mined from phones. Facebook is no exception.
Try the take-home tests. Buy them days or months in advance. Get results within minutes.
Any place in the US that requires appointments has never been reliable for me. If I went that route I would have to wait weeks to months to get a vaccine or PCR test.

Instead, poorer neighborhoods usually have hospitals or health centers that offer walk-up or drive-through services for vaccinations and tests. Sadly, most of the people in those neighborhoods don't use the services, so if you go right when they open you can get vaccinated or a PCR test with barely any wait. I waited 5 minutes to get my vaccine in Miami, and I waited about 15 minutes in a drive-through in Boston to get a PCR test with results the next day.

It most certainly works just fine on Android. Family Link is excellent - better than what an iPhone has because it tracks more stuff, and is more fine grained.

You can lock specific apps, with time slots and max time for each app.

The government is subsidizing testing so very few people, even those who would could afford it otherwise, will be willing to pay for it. With no cost, controlling demand becomes a function of time instead of price. Whether this is a better solution is up for debate but capitalism isn’t filling the need efficiently because, well, it isn’t even close to a free market.

> Tension joints for wood are seen in classic Japanese construction

If you’re referring to the wood bracket system, that is true, but for posterity, it didn’t originate in Japan. Imported, very likely via Korea (which also uses it in their classic construction), from China.
I think it is (in this usage) meant as the gain in human understanding of the photoelectric effect (Einstein 1905), specific heat, diamagnetism, and so forth once quantum mechanics began development. The leap from classical mechanical theories being fundamental to quantum mechanical theories being fundamental (with classical physics emerging from that), in other words, was a big shift even though subatomic particles themselves, and their bound states, are generally very small.

Random doesn't really enter into it. One can get that in a firmly non-quantized theory, as in one of Einstein's other 1905 papers, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion#Einstein's_the... https://history.aip.org/exhibits/einstein/essay-brownian.htm https://physicsworld.com/a/einsteins-random-walk/

Yeah, Google forced my search engine basically out of business. I had ixquick.com as a big client at one time; I was providing them with search results from my custom web search engine.
Then their CEO called me one day and told me he was cancelling, even though he'd been a client for over 10 years. He said it was because of some change Google had made to their agreement. Ixquick needed Google's results and ads for their startpage.com website, and, even though my results were shown on their ixquick.com and later ixquick.eu sites, apparently Google wasn't good with that.

We know homeopathy works. Millions of people around the world have been healed by homeopathy. We don’t know HOW it works as it doesn’t pass the current scientific method scrutiny.(pseudoscience acc to Popperian method)

I know it works because I have cured(not ‘healed’ in a hippy dippy happy sense)acute and chronic conditions for humans, animals and birds. To me, that is evidence.

Evidence Based Medicine is aggregation of a limited population based sample size. Homeopathy is symptom based treatment of an individual. They are entirely different concepts.

It is interesting to think about it. It is perfectly logical for a woman to decide they want to rent a room out to only other females since they quite obviously lower their risk of sexual assault like this.

But what if we found data showing that there were other groups which also had a higher risk of sexual assault or other negative dangers. Why would it only be appropriate to discriminate on gender when the reason for doing so would justify discrimination for other factors.
A pure-cash system provides incentives for incumbent carriers to buy (scarce) slots and leave them empty to limit competition. British Airways would definitely do this at Heathrow if allowed, for example.

Also, it potentially reduces actual passenger numbers, lowering the airport operator's take from duty-free and catering, which I suspect pays much more than the slot fees.
