I actually had to find something I was happy about. Han Solo murdered, Luke and Leia getting sacrificed, for a shitty Palpatine clone of all things? What a disgrace of a chaos of a plot!

ETA: not to mention, the "character dies and gets reborn" plot was already questionable in TCW (where Darth Maul was revealed to have survived being sliced in half by Qui-Gon Jinn in Episode 1), but that one at least had a decent bit of usage... Palpatine's appearance was mostly the reveal at the end on Exegol, a fight and his (hopefully final...) death.

The only way I can see any future films being set is somewhere between the trilogies (there's more than enough to be explained between EP3/4 or between 6/7) or an alternative-timeline reboot happening after EP6 (or maaaaybe but difficult given the deaths of primary actors, a timeline split caused by the destruction of that superlaser planet).
I don't think anyone is ignoring long COVID and hospital issues. Hospital capacity is discussed front and center daily and is the primary justification given for lockdowns.

Also, please see this recent meta-analysis which found that when you actually add a control group, most "long COVID" symptoms disappear in children. A higher study quality was associated with lower prevalence of almost all symptoms.

In a word, therapy.
I don't know - if the OP was my friend I'd want to know so I could reassure them.

More practically speaking we could meet somewhere else where they could feel more comfortable. Isn't that the whole point of friendship?
Anyone know how to delete a .exe file from Windows 'as Administrator' when you are using an Administrator account?
What would you do if your friends slowly went to the other side of the political spectrum?

IMO - your reaction here would be very similar. May be you (and your friends) will have the ability to peacefully coexist OR you split up. It is harsh - but the friends who have remained from my poorer times are the ones who are able to be happy with the ups and downs. Some were lost along the way. I have tried and helped some as well - but that again requires a mindset that will allow you to take or give without issues. I will probably hire friends as well in the future - but probably only the ones who can handle it (am assuming I can) will last I guess. C’est la vie.

The tough part is - as you diverge in wealth in either direction, your focus and problems change with it. It is easy to think rich people have no problems - but in reality they have rich people problems. They do want to discuss these. They do want to enjoy their new found wealth with others. Sometimes it is just not possible to keep an open mind through all these - so we move on.
Bangladesh and many poor Asian and African countries can finally afford this Covid-19 drug rather than the super expensive alternatives.
I'm not sure it's all propaganda. Of course having money is better than having no money, and makes one happier. But that likely tops out at some point. One famous study said 75k, another disputed that.

There's a lot of 'hidden' costs too. Of course I'd be happier with an extra couple million dollars today - I could travel and retire! But not if I had to give up 18/hr a day for the next 5 years to get there.
Oh, that's great. The closed caption space is highly frustrating.

One example is any film that has its own occasional subtitles. Like a movie that's mostly english will sometimes put english translations of the occasional foreign language being spoken. Then, the actual closed captioning will superimpose the very NOT helpful [Speaking Foreign Language] on top of the words I want to see. Or randomly, the words go to the top of the screen, covering people's faces.

Then, all sorts of other issues like two words being stuck together, a homonym being used when it's clearly not the right one, terrible typos, etc.

I suppose it's just not a priority, and you get what you pay for. I get it when it's something like local news. But for a movie that will be watched for decades, it's a shame.
I’m inquiry: do we have enough educators for that plan?
Regardless of that statement's truthiness, that's very much irrelevant for the OP. Nowhere did they say they were broke.

I worked in wealth management and LIVED the hedonistic treadmill firsthand.

Everyone was jealous of the next level up. I was making 300k and my high school hometown friends were like "holy cow, you're so lucky this is amazing, you have your own apartment" meanwhile I was annoyed I couldn't keep up financially with my trust fund boyfriend who had $3 million a year to piss away with random trips to Bermuda. My CFO was jealous of the Principal who could take netjets and didn't have to fly first class everywhere. The NetJets guy was jealous of the billionaire principal who had his own jet. That billionaire was jealous of the main money dude who had family money inherited from the crusades. They all fought with their wives over private school tuition and horses. Everyone drank, did tons of drugs, had dramatic affairs and fought like cats and dogs with their families.

I left finance and went into healthcare and realized I'm pretty damn happy living a simple life. I kept a $1500 belt I bought from Henry Bendels that's incredibly ugly as a reminder of dumb decisions and having too much money to piss away on stupid crap!

Read Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Deadly Path of the World's Most Precious Stones
Book by Greg Campbell. Reading that made me realize how our planet has finite resources and I just I wanted to cleave the my own consumption habits so stopped needless shopping for "fun" and started being a stubborn bastard about driving my 12 year old Hyundai into the ground. It's not much but it's my own private rebellion against the gaping maw of endless consumerism.

Worship your family, friends, love ones, health, music, doing things that make you feel alive, shared experiences and nature over shiny toys and stuff that just sits around collecting dust and looking pretty.

At the end of the day, we're all the same food for worms anyways no matter our net worth. Enjoy your friendships, realize they probably have their own internal struggles and problems they're dealing with and try to be there for them in whatever way you can!
> I would love to see an affordable, simple, modular, maintainable, repairable electric car. One can dream...

I applaud the dream, of course. As someone mentioned, pretty much all older vehicles were infinitely more repairable than current designs, so, no USSR tech required. For the first ten or twelve years of my driving history I bought used cars with at least 80K miles (128 K km) in the odometer. This means I spent my weekends and some evenings under the hood or under the car. This is to say, I get it.

The problem with electrics is that they are very far from "grease monkey" territory. When one starts dealing with high voltages and high current discharge capability, one very quickly leaves the domain of what the average person can and should be able to touch. In fact, lots of EE's lack the experience to safely deal with such devices.

The good news is that they are much simpler (in the sense of the modules that make-up a vehicle) than the internal combustion version. First order repairs should take the form of changing modules. The factory can then deal with component level repair (think: motor controller).
They're made of steel? I've never seen one in real life, so I assumed they were made of plastic.
You shouldn't be happy for their possessions, the world isnt a zero-sum game but it isn't infinite sum either; you may feel that it's unfair that they made large sums of money easily and you may be right. Try to use it as a motivator, and don't stroke their ego - it's not necessary for either of you.
I do think a lot of these things go round the circle then end up on the same solutions we had before.

Coinbase is a nice example; turns out it's quite nice if some sort of company protects your money, makes sure you don't loose access to it, provides you with insurance in case something goes wrong, and lets you easily send, trade, and convert money. Such a revolutionary idea, right?
Also, the trick to code reviews is to leave in a few low-hanging obvious bike sheds. The reviewers will tell you what color to paint them. Done.

I'm being slightly sarcastic. But not sarcastic to the point that I haven't done just that. Just as the nail that sticks out gets hammered, the code that is too perfect gets increased scrutiny.
Anyone can have any view they wish about the world. What I'm saying is that it's very easy to take a superficial analysis of the nature of the reality built on gut feelings, personal anecdotes, and "i happen to be born in the right place at the right time in the right cultural tradition that has lock on truth" syndrome, and replace it with another superficial analysis of the reality built on gut feelings and personal anecdotes and "i happen to be born in the right place at the right time in the right cultural tradition that has a lock on truth" syndrome. Flapping from one superficial belief to another doesn't make the latter more true.
It is the hamburger menu still I take it.

Fewer people are in the workforce, this is not debatable.

What is debatable is whether that matters. The unemployment rate is based on those seeking work, not those who are of age to work.

Seems to me, if unemployment an federal aid is not the culprit, then the simpler explanation is wages.

Wages are too low. This is precisely what the blog writer's argument is against: increasing wages.

Supply and demand didn't stop being a thing and your charts prove it.
I was considering it (very lucky the traffic cleared), but it was a major highway at midnight that was closed due to flooding ahead, and emergency vehicles were speeding down the shoulder fairly frequently. I didn’t consider it safe for me to leave the vehicle.
I couldn't agree with you more. Teachers and other school workers were not even mentioned in this article.
Someone deployed the "public punch in the balls and run off laughing" feature on mine. I can even get rid of it, I was told I needed to keep it longer than 4 years. The "throw trantum when not allowed to eat broken glass" feature is really annoying.
I had to fight my metal-over-plastic instinct when it came to jerrycans. I've seen some metal ones rust internally and affect the stored liquid. Plastic ones are color coded which is another boon. They're lighter, and you can get them smaller than 20L.

Edit: some of the plastic designs get a bit excited with the molding and have fancy shapes. They look like they stack with other cans of the same brand. There are probably other benefits to their nice designs. But otherwise keep them rectangular and close to the original shape if carrying many/using them in frames designed for jerrycans (e.g. external storage on a 4WD).

At this point I've lost faith in my generation, my parents' generation, and everything in between and outside of that. I don't care what your degree says or does not say. I don't care about your credentials. I don't care about your politics. Everyone has been wrong. MY YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE WEARING MASKS AT SCHOOL WHEN THEY ARE VACCINATED. That is no way to grow up indeed.
No. You have 1st world America and 3rd world America.

The 1st world kids will be fine. Some of them will struggle and carry some emotional baggage forward.

The ones who have nothing will have a little less. Society will hold them in as much regard as they do now, maybe a little less if helping them requires more taxes.
Some Adams trivia:

- If you get the giant jar from Costco, the oil separation is a significant issue. There's a simple solution: dump it all into a big mixing bowl (with the help of a silicone spatula), mix it, and pour it back into the jar. I did it last time I bought it and it was worth the 10 minutes I spent.

- Once it's mixed well, if you give it a quick stir every time you use it, the oil doesn't separate again.

How many hospitalizations are due to covid and how many just happen to test positive?
We pretty much do know what causes school shootings though? I mean the causes are complex and there is much disagreement about which ones contribute what and how much, but the broad strokes are known.

The issue is that 1) this information comes from the hn-accursed social sciences, 2) people don't like the answers and 3) we aren't willing to solve the problem anyway so why proselytize it?

Hourly job with zero savings, sure. But is six-figure debt really common? I can find that the mean indebtedness is five figures, surely the median (amongst those without mortgages) is much less than that?
Electric cars are apparently much better in these situations than gas-powered cars, because you can keep the heat on for hours and hours without using up much charge (or creating any CO). Don't personally know if that's true but it's what I've read.
General Motors 90-year streak as top US car seller ends
This is giving me a distinct feeling of dejavu; didn't VW do something in this vein decades ago on the New Beetle when it came out?

ISTR people being up in arms about the engine cover being labeled with something along the lines of warranty void if removed by unauthorized service personnel.

It was especially memorable at the time because us Libre software folks used to use the analogy "you wouldn't buy a car with the hood welded shut" to try explain the difference between open and closed software to non-tech folks in the 90s. Then in 1998 VW shipped a car very much in the spirit of welding the hood shut.

Am I going senile?
You can say the opposite about the other side as well... Anything short of eradication (which is impossible) means nonstop lockdowns, masking, vaccine mandates and making the unvaccinated pariahs.

What I don't understand is why you would shut down schools and enforce silly unhelpful mask mandates on them when the science shows children do not spread the disease in any meaningful way and are not badly affected by it. This is the "blind" spot I see.

I would think more expensive with spacers, you have more nodes to repaint, furthermore if you have an event that changes a particular spacer size - for example if you have contentnode spacernode contentnode and then change width of spacernode you will be repainting three nodes. Window resizing becomes more expensive seems to me.

Well for one because alcohol and alcoholics are virtually all over the world and it isn't clear to me that the majority of alcoholics in the world both know about the risks of DT and have access to treatment. But it is my understanding even with EARLY appropriate treatment there is an expectation 1+% of those suffering DT will die.

> Modern society is just the result of countless generations of the human tendency to quantify.

Is it? I see no evidence to justify this statement at all. Care to show some?

The vast majority of how society is organized seems to eschew quantification in favor of descriptive qualification. Most laws, and governance, for example are formed that way.

The use of metrics in governance has been dramatically increasing as our methods of quantification have developed, but that is definitely a modern development.
Yeah. We could write much less nearly perfect software, but we choose to write much more somewhat flawed software.
No we should not. They all get a pension. Do you know how much pensions cost? There are people on waiting lists to fill teacher positions. The benefits make up for the low bank deposit.

(SCRUM-master / AGILE coach / Project Manager / Line Manager) felt like she was losing control of the development and doubled down on processes to the point where nothing moved anymore and this was her solution to it. It was amazing!

One software solution (nothing fancy, just a shit payment processor integrator), three teams, three technical leads, three team leads and one incompetent master overseeing the Kafkaesque nightmare.

Now you're making me curious if the project is still ongoing. :P

> How do people get anything done with such invasive interruptions throughout their working day?

They mostly didn't really, the biggest concern in that company was how to tweak your timesheets to match the estimations as requested by the master.

----

A lot of times when I'm hating on SCRUM I wonder if I really got unlucky, especially due to my outsourcing beginnings, but then I find it hard to understand how come I get lucky to work with great teams when there are no such barriers in place.

I'm not even against the whole process thing, used to build emergency management systems where we spent 80% of the time planning, estimating, figuring out what can go wrong, working in heavy processes. But they made sense.
> Or maybe we just need distributed garbage collection for URLs.

Printing a URL on paper leaks it. Writing a URL down, or memorising it, also leaks it – but the computer has no way of knowing this has happened.

Why It’s So Hard to Regulate Algorithms

That's called "central planning". Central planners simply can't collect the right information anywhere near quickly enough to make efficient decisions.

Modern computing means it works for quantifiable things. But when it's something like inconvenience, it's hard to quantify and central planning will still fail.
Part of the reason there is unusually high traffic in that location is the confluence of two things: one is that local traffic doesn’t have a great alternative to 95 over the Rappahannock river (the local Rt. 17/1 interchange is famously awful) so you take 95, and the other is that there is a large amount of truck traffic between Rt. 17 and 95. Basically over the span of the Stafford/F’burg area 95 sees an additional ~30k cars/day. There are road improvements in progress but they are too little, too late.
I don't buy the lower travel time thing, not unless your trains or whatever are running every five minutes. In practice public transit has always at least doubled my travel time. Waiting at stops (a) introduces substantial latency that (b) is unpredictable, forcing me to pad my travel times further. I mainly use it to avoid parking at the destination.

Mostly DC metro rail and a bit of LA buses, FWIW.
> but the broad strokes are known.

I’ve rarely seen any broad brush stroke other than ‘guns’ being blamed.

2) people don't like the answers

Don’t they? Or do they simply not agree with the answers.

Social science results are in fact very weak, as is constantly being shown.

That is because it’s hard to do social science and the disciplines are relatively new. The way to improve this is not to pretend social science is better than it is, nor is it to ignore social science altogether, but to recognize its shortcomings and critique it.

Also, your account is only 12 days old. I don’t think that is long enough to determine what is ‘accursed’ on HN. HN goes through trends and shifts over time.

> 3) we aren't willing to solve the problem anyway so why proselytize it?

Are we not? So we give up and to do something unrelated, in the name of solving the problem? That seems even worse.

It doesn’t seem like we’re going to get rid of guns, so we may as well proselytize the real solutions.
Last time I used it they still hadn't implemented any of the background blurring or changing. The rest seems to work ok.
I find it to be a good reminder that whatever complexity we have managed to create today likely won't last for 1000s or even 100s of years. We initially didn't believe that precision gears were possible for the time period this device comes from.

Sometimes I think about how I might present a progression from electricity and transistors to fully functional computers for a future society that somehow lost the knowledge. Most of our computing devices won't last 100 years. The ones that do might be older equipment with a little more "silicon redundancy" or even materials that are more resistant to corrosion... if they aren't mined for it first. Given that we store almost all of our current knowledge in electronic form, corroding/losing the ability to retrieve it will likely mean the end of the art.

Yes, if you increase the amount of road and more cars get people to where they are going, the result is increased economic activity. The result also is increased well-being because more people are getting to places where they wish to go - destinations that are improving their lives. This is a success.
