I'm confused why you don't think this same reasoning doesn't apply to politicians and bureaucrats who would be doing the regulating.

The problem is, some cannot believe that high performers, can be experts in multiple branches of a field.

Their development slows to a crawl, as they get stuck in one role. Yours, and others like you, just keep that intense growth happening.

It isn't necessarily their fault, either. Circumstances can keep someone slotted deep in a role, with no way to expand laterally.

So, they may literally think such breadth and depth of experience is just overstatement.
This is a very insulting comment, and seems to have been prompted by practically nothing at all. I'd urge you to consider how your condescending attitude appears to anyone who doesn't agree with you.
People being wrong about things is not a reason to accuse them of acting in bad faith.
EBV causes more severe symptoms the older you are. So everyone here who remembers getting it and it being terrible? That's because you got it as an adult. If you get it as a kid, it can be asymptomatic.

I got it at 36 and had a fever that leveled me for 3 weeks. Between "wait 1 week before bothering your doctor" and multiple rounds of tests, they didn't even diagnose it as EBV until the 3rd week.
Very much this.
I may as well not be alive if I'm not adapting to people using "we" as a personal pronoun?
Many banks don't care, they are going to turn around and sell the loan. Some banks don't even make money off of the loan itself, they break even or even lose money originating the loan and make money servicing the loan - collecting the payments.
There was simply no fraud at the scale of what you seem to be intending. Most claims of fraud were investigated multiple times (AZ, MI, WI ...) and no evidence has come up which would prove baseless claims of Trump et al. Most states where Trump et al are claiming fraud already have voting ID laws. Just because your guy did not win does not mean the process in not trust worthy.
"Flyover country" is very condescending, belittling and arrogant.

What exactly are they missing out on? Perhaps you're missing out on what they have as well?

Telling people what their priorities in life ought to be is absolutely condescending. It's not a marshmallow test. It's a question of personal priorities and values. Looking down on people because they have different priorities and made different choices than you, telling yourself they missed out in doing it, it's really just a way to convince yourself you're happy with your choices and nothing more.
I swear there was a lot of support for him back in 2016 claiming that

- he was just trying to get R&D money for a newer toxoplasmosis drug

- his company made the drug available for free to the uninsured somehow

- he didn't do anything uncommon for the industry. He's being made a scapegoat while other companies commit the same crimes and get off scott free.

I've listened through his finance and chemistry lessons on youtube and found them very engaging and educational. However, I can't find any documentation supporting the apologist claims above, so I'm inclined to say that the judge is obviously in the right here.
Perforce seems ideal.
A biased comparison of Zutty (to some better-known X terminal emulators)
No, in general there is no prepayment penalty. In fact, it is relatively rare for a 30 year mortgage to last the entire 30 years. Normally it is paid off early, either because the person sells the home and moves somewhere else, meaning they pay off their old mortgage with the proceeds from the sale and get a new mortgage for the new house.

Or, you "refinance" your loan for a better interest rate after you have paid down the loan some. For example, I bought a house in 2018 and refinanced in 2020. Since my home price has gone up in those two years, and I had also paid some of the mortgage off, my rate was much better since my loan-to-value ratio was lower (basically the percentage of the market value of the home you are borrowing... the lower that is, the less risk the lender is taking, since they can sell the house to get back more than the cost of the loan, therefore it has a lower interest rate) I was able to save a large amount on my payment (went from paying $4700 a month to $3600), although it did extend the term of my loan for an extra two years. However, I doubt I'll be in the house that long anyway.
There's a middle ground though.

I think most people would consider OpenBSD for instance to be "small." It comes packed full of tools, many of which you might never use. Many things come with "user friendly" config formats. I don't think anyone in their right mind would call it bloated (as far as reasonably modern unixalikes are concerned), but it's also far from being so minimalistic as to require you to configure things at source level.

And in OpenBSD, you find this window manager called cwm. It's not exactly comparable; hardcore dwm users would no doubt be very disappointed with it. However, I use both WMs and both suck & are good in their own ways. cwm has a config format and you don't need a compiler and the entire toolchain to be able to configure it. On the other hand, you don't have all the useful patches people have made for dwm over the years. cwm is small, and not bloated.
Thanks for writing about your experience. It's kind of nice to see some wisdom being dropped about the current/long term affairs of what makes many company experiences very similar. It seems extremely difficult to find something that breaks the mold.

And congratulations on retiring! What do you think you'll do now? Given that you're wholly self-taught, I would assume you would dive in to your interests.
Once you build enough reach, you can sell branded posts, drive traffic to websites monetized by ads, or upload videos that can be monetized.
> cheaper to maintain that the Syndrome is caused by 'adversaries' than to admit that there is any liability for Workers' Compensation claims.

Why would you think workers' comp can be avoided? It cannot. Any of these diplomats or their families may bring a lawsuit (I'm not sure against who) which they could win or lose. But they cannot lose workers' comp nor fail to be awarded for workplace injury or death. If any file for Workers' Compensation, and report their injury, payments are automatic.

I created a series of small books that teaches code by making art. I give them a chunk of code to type and then I break it down after that. This is how I learned long ago.

People tend to learn slowly as they work, understanding more and more as they go. Often, they can make minor changes after their first project. Change the color? Make it larger?

This is very much "status quo" bias, as if the current state of the world were not endangering lives and destroying the earth.

People talk about climate change in apocalyptic terms until it actually matters in real world decisions for things other than the things they wanted to do anyway.
> the value of the house increases. So, now you say, “wow, looks like I can sell this house and get a better one”.

If the price of your house increases, the price of the better one increases even more. You can switch it if you saved or if you life improved. The price increase doesn't help, it hinders that change.
I follow a lot of threads on the site, especially ones that appear to be COVID disinformation. And I see a lot of hackers asking "well, I read this <disinformation> and it made sense to me. Can you explain why it's not true?"

This is pretty common. The reason I take it as obligation is that if there aren't people fighting disinformationn, the disinformation will win, because it tends to be full of simple, seductive, but. wrong ideas that naive people fall for.

Wait… there are startups where projects aren’t silver bullets that never work out?!

I’ve also found that to be a reliable sign of a zombie startup - might not fail, but constant lack of success is grating too.
This is an incredibly outdated view. There's no conflict between the strong multiregional hypothesis and SRO because the strong multiregional hypothesis is completely dead. To quote wiki [1]:

Outside of China, the Multiregional hypothesis has limited support, held only by a small number of paleoanthropologists.

What remains is largely a debate over when and how human evolution occurred within Africa. The classical view is that there's some singular population where H. sapiens evolved and spread from. In that view, we just have to sort out the chronologies and it'll work out. Opposing that is the relatively newer 'weak' or 'african' multiregionalism depending on who's talking. It argues that humans evolved as structured populations across Africa before leaving. It's a lot nicer conceptually and goes much farther to explaining the confusing apparent chronologies, but it requires revisiting a lot of prior work and assumptions. [2] is a good overview.

It's important to emphasize that these latter two aren't diametrically opposed and most paleoanthropologists are somewhere along the spectrum of both.

> 2. It's a fast reactor so lots of high energy neutrons that will cause faster material degradation, higher maintenance cost, more downtime - the economics for fast reactors have never worked (not even in Russia or China), and this is probably why fusion reactors will never be economical (32x greater neutronicity).

Commonwealth Fusion Systems's ARC has an interesting approach to handling this -- using a liquid blanket which can be circulated. Of course, ARC isn't built yet! But if that approach is workable, perhaps it can be applied more generally?
What's bothering me is the money you pay is not enough to cater for my expenses.
The Head First series of books. They are available for multiple programming languages and use the same set of use cases across them all. The books are even written with techniques to suggest to the brain it should remember this information.
Netflix is a parody. There are only politicaly correct movies on it (except Life of Brian and Holy grail - though life of Brian seems censored). Startrek (DS9) in mpeg1 definition. Startrek TNG not available. The sound quality is horrible I need to tune the volume very high to be able to underestand something. No Mel Brooks movies except Robin Hood. HD (whatever that means today) is available only for some movies. All in all a crappy experience. But i have to pay for it because "daddy, this is so painful, everybody has netflix".
I can see some words on there that do have a one word equivalent, or is it that the equivalencies can't express the concept but also have other meanings as well.

I wonder if that wouldn't be the actual rare words, not just words that translate, but in which all the meanings of a word in translating language are the same as the meanings of the word in the target language.

on edit: consider Hov in Danish which the page says does not translate, but I think in English Whoa can handle all permutations of Hov, but I don't think Hov really handles the Keanu Reaves type of Whoa. Thus Hov can translate to English, but Whoa cannot translate to Danish by this kind of strict translation.

But if we just accept that the most common meaning of a word a needs to translate then Hov and Whoa can both translate to each other, IMHO.
Or they are simply giving the closest possible translation.

They list “te quiero” as meaning “I love you but not quite. Which is a mistranslation. It literally translates as “I love you”. But at the same time you have “te amo”, which also translates to “I love you” yet they are two different phrases with different meanings.
Ah, the green pasture. It always looks green until one steps on it.
This is great, and makes me regret switching to Rokus. When I had an AndroidTV and could root, so much capability was unlocked, I really miss it.

I also loved WebOS since it's mobile days, will definitely consider getting an LG WebOS TV as my next.

You're welcome.

The thing is HN has lots of people who do not have English as their first language and the bulk of these comments would be directed at people doing their level best to get it right. And being wrong in itself is a good basis for a correction rather than a put down. See the other comments to your parent comment for examples of how you could handle that with more grace.

A plural system? You say that as though it requires no explanation.

> The more we try to pretend it should be possible for all people to program or use computers in general, the worse software becomes.

I was 100% with you until that last sentence. For me, it's just an important reminder that software isn't just a commercial endeavor, or just a job, but can be artistry, hobby, and tool. And that each of those are vibrant enough to support and serve their own overlapping communities.

I definitely miss the heart and aesthetics of software some days, so I get the cynism!

Aw, darn; I was hoping for a generic wiki of TVs and how to root them and (in my dream world) alternative firmware options. Not that rooting webOS isn't cool, just not what I expected based on the domain.
No, a few engineers 2 years ago are not going to change basic architectural concepts that apple has clearly Cavour that run pretty contrary to intels design concepts.

Also designing a cpu takes time: a chip that is released in year X was likely functionally locked at least a year ago, and general architecture would necessarily predate that by a few years.

No CPU manufacturer is designing a cpu for year X, and then starting work on the following years chip. They will be simultaneously designing chips for sequential years, years in advance of release dates. That’s why Intel and AMD can produce their “next years chip” talks. The chip isn’t ready for final production, but there won’t be any significant changes by that point.

There’s also a 8-12 week latency on manufacture, so if they are targeting a release date, they have to have started manufacturing 3 months before then in order to have any chips to sell.
That infographic designer really phoned it in. "Diverts missiles away from your plane...to the airport terminal!"
Anecdotally, the ratio of STEM-interested high school students (even not narrowing to the socially inept) was far tipped towards guys among my peers in high school.

I was in a TIE program (tech, innovation, engineering) with about 15 other students in high school. We had 1 girl in the class... she was a great addition to the class (not at all socially awkward) and we would have liked to have more, but the interest among girls was low. The only requirements to join are pictures of previous projects, teacher recommendations, and answering essay questions to gauge interest.

All the socially awkward girls I knew of had no interest in computers... one of them went into the army, others got liberal arts degrees in college.

It's hard to draw broad themes from one's own personal experience, but I never was aware of forces aligned to tip the scales in any direction (perhaps because of my own lack of social awareness, haha).
It is Mrs. Rock, she is an old lady and demands respect. ;)

Seriously, I think I basically learned to read with their comics (along with Disney's) and it is impressive how some of these stories get stuck in our heads and definitely take a role in forming our personalities. With Disney's, there is the story where the kids use the duplicating machine to make infinite money, and end up learning about inflation. With Monica, there is one story where one of the boys (I think it's Cebolinha) are talking with Anjinho about the consequences of doing what they do to Sansão and if they are going to Hell for it, which becomes an amazing short but beautiful affirmation of Judeo-Christian values. Paraphrasing, Anjinho says something like "do not worry about Heaven or Hell and the afterlife, just use this life to bring as much of Heaven to Earth as you can"
One thing I’ve noticed about a ton of benchmarks is a focus on throughput instead of latency. Apple has had some of the lowest latency computers around and the M1 has only improved the situation with QoS features on the CPU and such.
Too bad they couldn’t partner with Amazon and have a “get it by tomorrow” option.
They can exclude an adult for any reason they want (in the US at least), as long as the reason isn't discriminatory against a protected class (for example, they can't exclude someone based on their religion). Other than that, they can exclude you for any reason they want, or no reason at all.

What stopped the first nuclear buildout in the US was a combination of things. One is that the 7%/year growth in electricity demand suddenly moderated. This caught some utilities by surprise; if they had many NPPs in process they were in for pain (WPPSS went bankrupt). Another is the passage of PURPA in 1978, which started to open the grids to non-utility power. Cogeneration started to take off then. Any industrial activity that needed heat could now drive a combustion turbine and sell some power at low marginal cost, using the waste heat for their need. There were also some cogeneration-in-name-only non-utility plants that were mostly just to make power.

All this made large, new, expensive nuclear plants difficult to justify. TMI was just the icing on the cake.

The more recent "nuclear renaissance" died because natural gas become very cheap (and a combined cycle NG power plant costs $1/W to build; a factor of 10 cheaper than a nuclear plant) and because nuclear construction was more expensive than promised (bye, Westinghouse).
It's weird to me that they say 35 of the 801 MS cases were negative then positive before getting MS. The control group had 107 of 1566 were negative, but they don't bother to tell us how many of them ended up positive.

I assume enlisting is a high-risk place to get EBV, and without info on the control I don't see how you can draw conclusions. But I'm basing this on the summary rather than the actual article: does the article have the info?

I presume you're in Germany? Where do they make you pay 15-20€ per ticket? I just bought a cinema ticket today. The sticker price was 10€, and I got it for 6.60€ with a loyalty card (Cineplex High Five, completely tracking-free since I bought it with cash).
It seems pretty organized on the backend distribution. [1]

"Video from a police stakeout shows Drago unloading trunkloads full of merchandise at one of his warehouses — mouthwash, cleaning supplies, shampoo, foot spray, over-the-counter medicine, and more than $1 million dollars worth of razors. Drago allegedly directs the boosters to steal small, compact items, with long expiration dates, and high resale value."

To add another dimension of irony if there's a similar pattern to the CVS/Walgreens shoplifting distribution mechanisms - the main distribution back into the system is Amazon and E-bay, etc.

"The stolen goods eventually find their way to Ebay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and Amazon, where they are sold at a steep discount. Dugan says there’s a big societal cost to saving a few bucks."

So in this case, Amazon stuff is getting pilfered only to back into Amazon to be sold as Amazon marketplace items - no questions asked.

Nocturnal gardens under slowly ripening mangoes.
Maximilian dances what one day will be a tango.
His shadow twirls the way a boomerang does
and the temperature's an armpit 98.
The iridescent flicker of a silver waistcoat;
and a mulatto girl melts lovingly like chocolate
while in a masculine embrace she purrs insensate,
here—soft as wool, there—smooth as plate.

Nocturnal silence underneath the virgin forest.
Juarez, now the spearhead of, say, progress,
to his peons who never saw two pesos
distributes rifles in the dark of night.
Bolts start their clicking, while Juarez on squared paper
puts little crosses, ticking off each happy taker.
A gaudy parrot, one who never makes mistakes or
lies, sits on a bough and notes their plight:

Scorn for one's neighbor among those who sniff the roses
may be, not better, but more straight than civic poses.
But either thing gives quite a rise to blood and bruises.
Worse in the tropics, here, where death, alas,
spreads rather quickly in the way flies spread infection,
or as a bon mot in a cafe draws attention,
where three-eyed skulls among the thickets rate no mention;
in every socket—a clump of grass.
