Are you sure? It's easy to send your message anonymously on the Hand, but I (and many others I've met out there in the real world) have zero interest in acquiring cryptocurrency, regardless of price or potential payoff. It seems more like the biggest tulip trading ponzi scheme in history.

I do enjoy the entertainment it's provided me since I first encountered it in 2008.

I'm not even rich... just disinterested in accumulating wealth in such a stupid manner which contributes no tangible benefit back to society.
>In other words, don't feed the trolls.

I think you missed out on "silence is violence". It's not good enough for the author to keep his mouth shut and his head down. No, he must stand up and repeat what everyone else is repeating or face the same consequences as posting a "10k+ word screed."

If you're going to go down anyway, might as well go down with a bang.
It's crippling our healthcare system because it's not a minor cold. People are filling our ICUs rooms needing ventilators and intravenous fluids just to not die. The common cold does not do that. They could not see your daughter about a fever because all hands were too busy keeping people from the literal brink of death.

This is why anti-vaxxers and covid-deniers are such a big problem. They think that even if they are wrong, it only affects them, but it doesn't. If I get in a car accident tomorrow, there is a very real possibility that my own treatment will be delayed because the nearest hospital is overwhelmed with dying COVID patients.
>> "I'd be happy to laugh and offend "

This is the definition of ill-intent.

This is what intentionally making someone uncomfortable looks like.

Glad you learned something today :)
Personally, I drive around with the clock off by one hour for half the year. So as long as it is just the clock, then put me in the "I don't care" column.
Did you actually read the article? It sounds like he's getting much more of a reward than money.

They are no longer civilians if they are armed.
Not at the moment. But there’s nothing fundamentally preventing Apple from writing an ARM to x86 translator. It’s probably easier that the opposite direction because x86 provides stricter execution ordering guarantees than ARM.
So many wild things in this, but I was curious about this aspect:

> It also helped that I was unemployed. I had time to court her properly.

Does anyone find this kind of situation helps their relationship health? I've started relationships between jobs and started them with people who weren't working. It's not always long-term poison, but a big part of a relationship is figuring out if your two lives will work well together. I find that's easiest to figure out if neither of you is in a temporary situation that's radically different from your future. Sometimes you get lucky and you survive the transition - but in my experience you'll be on the strongest footing if you don't need to navigate a major transition!
You paint a good picture of Cuba, but what is life as a jaded resident of The City like?
I’m extremely skeptical of this. Most probably they were tipped off and are trying to protect their source.
They break it down per ounce. I was fed "truffle butter" but it turned out to be the opposite of my expectations.There was a whole bunch of cannabis in there, and I was pissed. Not good
That was referred to the 500 wpm.
Courting appears to be the correct term for what was intended in that he did marry her. It's the pursuit of a serious relationship and it gets used for non romantic situations as well.

Businesses court each other. So do nations. Their ambassadors sometimes court each other, not for a personal fling, but to broker an important deal between nations.

Courting is that process of trying to make a connection that works equally well for both sides. It's a practice we should encourage more of. The outcomes are typically better than quick and dirty deals where neither side bothers to adequately understand the interests and motives of the other.
As opposed to science of counting, right?
EDI Notepad was a great tool for this - unfortunately it looks like it was shut down a few years ago :( Old versions should work fine however, unless you're using a very recent standard. (We were using the 1996 X12 standard until 2015 or thereabouts)
Afaik not for the consensus mechanism itself, which is done by permissionless participation nodes. I think they plan to move the relay nodes to a permissionless model as well.

Crypto can work quite ok-ish if the internet goes out. You can still post transactions (effectively issue IOUs with some level of assurance the funds existed in the wallet at moment you got disconnected, but no protection against double spend), but the confirmations will take a while. Visa is as bad or worse.

When you live in a, for lack of a better word, "shithole country", you don't plan too long into the future; you play it by ear and find a way to live the next day. One thing to note, though, is that once a technology entrenches the black/gray markets in a society, the rulers and their sons and daughters are almost certainly participants too, and that reduces the incentive/ability to shut things down completely.
I still have a "Twiddler" chord keyboard in my drawer - the Granddaddy of this thing.
That's true but the point is it an oversimplification, a fringe subset that fits a now convenient narrative.

Trump targeted the discontents. Full stop.

Like it or not, that's what good marketing does. Like it or not - and the status quo still refuses to admit it - those numbers are significant. Significant enough to get Trump elected.

The fringe subset narrative of white supremacists is just that...spin. Unless of course all those who went for Trump in 2020 are white supremacists. That doesn't seem likely, not based on the numbers we're talking about.

It's also important to realize the fact is, the same actors who push the white supremacists narrative are the same who crafted and front lined the Russian narrative, and as we know that was a lie.
For this concrete thing, yes. It is like math. There is a correlation between the level of intervention and the possibility of a tiranny that is very clear.
Well, if it was a trade secret then we still wouldn't know... so maybe it is?
Anybody remember the analog clock in the Chrysler Sebring?
Absolutely don't signal to anyone higher than you that you might start looking for another job. That's the worst thing you could possibly do and will leave you branded as a lost cause.

What manager is going to stick his neck out or put effort into a subordinate that doesn't even know if they want to be there.

It could also leave you in a compromised position under many circumstances if they wanted to get rid of you / move you etc.
It may be true that politics have permeated the workplace such that in certain industries and circles it has become important to signal your support for the popular movements of the day for basic job security.

To the extent it is innappropriate, it is equally innappropriate is for the workplace to become the venue for those who hold less popular ideas to tilt at political windmills of their choice, even if they do work at a news company.
I think it's because I was a go-to person for solving deep problems and would be hard to fill. Also having others know and you being ultimately responsible while mostly powerless wouldn't be fun. I don't know the details, but some short time after I left the product team I was on stopped being offered. I think I would have fought to keep it around longer. Either that or I'm the rat that left the sinking ship.

That's definitely how some companies use it. I needed a human from Comcast to help me with something, and instead of getting me on with a human (after spending a few minutes on the phone trying to communicate to the bot why I needed to talk to someone) it sent me an SMS with a link to their online chatbot and promptly hung up. I then called back and said my reason for calling was to "cancel my service," which of course got me through immediately to a human.
You're on the right track, this post explains it in detail:

Hard to tell where the sarcasm starts and ends, so my apologies if I am taking you too literally, but my assumption would be that we haven't seen 'serious study' of penis enlargement because it's highly unlikely there's some simple way of making it happen, especially one that doesn't also have side effects...

Viagra doesn't make your penis bigger; it temporarily alleviates erectile dysfunction.
Companies all know what other companies are paying for positions. They provide and collect this information from services that aggregate these details. The information deficit is entirely on your side.
I agree. It really feels like it should be a PLOVER dictionary.
It seems to give partial protection to Delta like 50% reduction in infections.

Different aspects of immunity seem to last different times. Antibodies fade over six months or so but T Cell immunity can last decades in general. Though obviously Omicron hasn't been around that long to check on.

I'm not a patent lawyer, but can anyone explain to me how this wasn't already covered by either part of multi-zone systems in the 80s/90s, or part of literally every single room correction tech since the late 90s? Sonos didn't exist when this technology was invented.

Edit: Surprised I'm getting downvoted for this. All the patents listed are things multi-zone and room correcting systems already do. Look at technology built by Dirac or Audyssey for latency-correcting multiple clock domains; they already do it. Audyssey, Dirac, and Sonos all started around the same time, around 20 years ago, and all base their technology on the companies and engineers who came before them, and Audyssey and Dirac have solutions that are lightyears ahead of Sonos.

How does Sonos have valid patents here when its identical to what two better companies have done at the same time, or worse, what companies before them have already done? Something does not sound right here.
I don't know much about biology, what advantages does having a heart rate that fast have for a bat?
Your boss and manager are just dumb, it is not your fault. You did the work you were told to, its actually all your managers fault. You will find out soon enough the spectrum of talent involved in managing.
This was exactly the kind of context I was missing. Thanks for this.

I remember some high-profile expats immigrating to China in the 1950s and 60s, and writing about their experiences publicly to acclaim and disdain. Do you know if any of these are critically well-received?
Yes. And I certainly don’t see many AI experts or engineers trying to stop the marketers.

First, I don't want to belong to a community where extolling the virtues of human death is OK. I've been around HN for over a decade and it's easily the most civil large online community I've ever run into.

Second, I'm fine engaging with the trolley problem on a conceptual / philosophical level. But based on the tone and content, it seemed the poster was happy that antivaxxers are dying: "for every antivax death, we get closer to 100% vaccination rate and finally get back to a normal life."

That's not a philosophical discussion about a real-world version of the trolley problem; that's hoping for more antivaxxer deaths so s/he can be happy.

After reflection on your post, I still think a gentle rebuke for the poster's very real schadenfreude is an appropriate response.

Has McMindfulness been succeeded by McStoicism yet?
Our goal with new Sorbet versions is to break things where it makes sense (fix bugs, improve types for the standard library) which sometimes introduces new type errors in projects using Sorbet. But wherever possible, we try to build autocorrects that allow for fixing or silencing those breakages.

One little known feature here that works mostly well right now but could definitely be better is the `--suggest-unsafe` [1] flag, which will attempt to insert `T.unsafe(...)` in places in the program where there was a type error.

Then in places where we improved Sorbet so that it no longer thought something was untyped, and started reporting errors downstream, you could run `bundle exec srb tc --autocorrect --suggest-unsafe` once after upgrading, and commit or delete the autocorrects as desired.

It isn't a goal to have some sort of v1.0 milestone where new releases will not introduce type errors to a codebase that doesn't have any, which is I think what you're asking about.

This can be said about any wrapper to an underdefined interface, it doesn't make that interface any less official.
Hah funny to see other people strategizing like this..

I did some research and (from what I found) the most common letters in English are:

E, O, T, A, I, R, N, H, S (not in any order)

So I came up with TRAIN and SHOVE as 2 starting words that use all those letters without repeats, plus V.

WORLD is also a good one because it uses one of the most common starting letters (W, T, A, O, D) and one of the most common ending letters (E, D, S, T).

Some other good starting words for me have been RIVET, CANDY, PLUCK and BASTE.
For me that parses as an endorsement of Wilson's group selection theory. Dawkins has made a career out of shallow criticism of others and self-promotion. Wilson was an intellectual giant. Perhaps we'll see how it shakes out.

In any event any sexually reproducing species is going to evolve under a minimum group size of two. That we've evolved a mostly monogamous mating strategy, despite the apparent advantages for powerful men to instead build a harem and deprive weaker men of mating opportunities, is suggestive.
Envavo Heatbuff was invented to help this. Unfortunately they seem to have gone out of business
This reminds me of a case of a director asking a "tough question" of a dev team as a way of providing feedback. I don't think the feedback was taken the right way in this case.

I was in a meeting where a group of devs were presenting a technical solution to our director, who was overseeing the product as a whole. At one point the director asks, "Did you look into other companies doing this and potentially licensing their solution to the problem instead?" All the devs were confused because they were tasked with building a technical solution in-house. I was confused as well because it seemed like a question the director should've asked a PM or one of the dev leads, not the grunts who were tasked with writing the code. The devs presenting were flustered by the question and didn't know how to proceed. The director continued with the line of questioning and it was clear he didn't like what he saw in the presentation.

The experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Anyway, a couple weeks later, my manager mentioned the incident and told me he asked the director about it. The director admitted that he had only asked the question to get the team thinking differently about how they were solving the problem and cut through some of the technical details they were providing him. My manager thought it was a clever tactic, but I thought it was manipulative. I also think he just lost his cool since the solutions weren't to his liking and wanted to take it out on the team a little bit. I didn't think it was a great way of building trust with the team, nor do I think it made them think differently about the problem.
It also depends where the profits are going. Governments don't want their energy subsidies draining their country of funds.
A tangent, but whatever those companies or services are is completely indecipherable from the names.
The problem is we can't determine how code is reused or what the blast radius is.

*edit, you are responding with "who cares it is a clock" but the parent was talking about programming in general has a pervasive quality issue that shows that programming as we do it now is NOT engineering. Engineering is like 80% failure analysis. In no other discipline do we call the 20% the 90% (even the good in programming is barely passable). I'd love a filter that killed comments that aren't even talking about the same thing

Everything is interconnected, this is why safety critical systems go to such great lengths to cordon themselves off from the rest of the world. It is the unintentional critical system (everything at some point will be critical to someone). This is the equivalent of bondoing (putty used by backyard car body mechanics) over some important piece of technology.

Honda should at least send everyone a piece of tape that says remove on Date ZZZ so someone doesn't see the wrong time and do something unwise.
Thank you for sharing that. I just watched the 2018 UHD Blu-ray and compared with an earlier Blu-ray 1080p release. To my eyes, everything is shifted to be a bit more blue, not green, and specifically in the skin tones. There is definitely a tint in both versions, but skin tones aren't as affected in the earlier versions vs. the later ones.
I agree with your message and the purpose of it. There was no intention of conflict. I made some attempts to clarify that in the various responses, which mostly concluded with agreements.
Dbus is a good place to start. Raw sockets and shared memory are still necessary to get good enough performance in some cases. Dbus can be very slow! If something needs to happen several times per second, or big amounts of binary data should be transferred, dbus can become a bottleneck in embedded applications.

I think dbus works great for service discovery and for low-frequency low-bandwidth communication. For other cases, people just exchange a file descriptor over dbus and proceed to talk directly to each other.
Horrible, throwing another individual into the inferno to keep the hungry Uber engine topped off. I definitely never noticed any mention of variable-rates post-ride-completion in their ToS.

Between Uber and AirBnB (the worst IME), not sure what more they could do to signal how greedy and soulless they are when it comes to injecting and enforcing customer-hostile bits into the 10-50 pages of fine print you clicked "yes" on after skimming it for 2 seconds (if that).

Gig economies are remarkably consistent in this regard.

The good news is it only took me once with AirBnButts to learn my $3,000 lesson. Never again, it's worse than craigslist.
Sorry. I couldn’t decide which of these comments to respond to and did not mean to single you out or attack anybody. Obviously I find this frustrating and I feel slightly attacked myself.
My 05 car's (I bought it used much later) navigation is way better than Google Maps at keeping a GPS fix and giving clear directions. If I could get new map data for it I would use it instead of my phone.
Pre-industry describes early modernity, the period where press gangs roamed the streets to capture people and force them to crew a ship, and slaves were taken from their homelands and their ancestry decontextualized, rendering a return impossible.

While you could certainly make the case that the hours were fewer(because it was still agrarian) the state of labor relations suggests a huge demand for cheap workers, not efficient workers. Productivity needs inputs: with no canals or railroads, you couldn't get resources to factories in quantity, so you couldn't get the gains of automation. So the idle hours reflect a general impoverishment of possibility: nothing better to do with the idle bodies. Making them cheap, rather than good, reflects the drive to accumulate within the zero-sum dynamic of merchantalism. Or rather, you wanted to define good as "loyal to me and skilled at attending to my needs", which is different from "good at the job". So there was a lot of emphasis on preserving the body but minimizing resistance.

The labor exploitation in early industrialization reflects the combination of productivity dynamic and merchantalistic norms: now, in a competitive marketplace where you have a lot of opportunities to make products and quickly build wealth, there is a reason to overwork bodies and then dispose of them. That's never gone away, we've just engaged in some collective pushback from time to time, as Marx outlined.

But it could be that we're on the verge of another shift in the norms of labor relations. I suspect that's what is going on now. There are a lot of "pieces of the puzzle" that are ready to nibble away at existing norms.

It only seems to go wrong on their main page.

Look at the page on a wide monitor or with a mobile sideways and i think you'll see the issue: the page is designed to have a left column, which is right aligned so that it goes flush with the picture to the right. But when you view the page on a narrow monitor or with a mobile vertically, below the cut off width it reflows so the right aligned text section goes to the top (which results in the odd layout complained about)
