I wish "don't pass on the right unless you need to for safety reasons" was a law as well, if it isn't already.
It was confusing to me because I had no context on what/who Libor was.
In June of 2020, as I'm sure you recall, The New York Times published an opinion piece titled "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police".

Why do you think the New York Times was publishing opinions that you believe were only held by 3 people?

You of course also remember that when the New York Times published the opinion piece titled "Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops" arguing that the military should be sent in to stop riots and looting, there was a massive backlash and the editor for the opinion page resigned. This even though the opinion expressed by Tom Cotton was fairly popular.

I would think if the New York Times was publishing opinions that had no popular support at all, there would have been a backlash about that, wouldn't you?
I dont understand why requesting ID to check off a voter on an electoral roll is a bad thing.

1. Anyone should be able to register to vote, as long as they are eligible.

2. Eligibility should be straight forward (this seems to be where the issue is).

3. On election day you turn up, show a proof of ID so the roll gets checked off, go vote for President Kang.

How else do you stop people from double voting / voting as a dead relative / registering their pet to vote?

In those places that have mail in voting: request your papers ahead of time, they get mailed to your registered address. If tour address is wrong, then your registration should be treated as invalid because you could be living anywhere, and you don't get the papers until it has been updated.
Yes they do. Prime comes with a limited version that "only" has a couple million songs. At least in some countries. They also have a higher tier called Music Unlimited that's more on-par with the other guys content wise but cheaper if you already sub to Prime. Also have a tier that only works on Echos but gives access to the larger catalog for even less.

I switched to just using the included service with Prime. It's good enough for me and I get Prime super cheap as a student.
Long term, Spotify and Netflix are in trouble. Amazon and Apple are in this space, and they can use their trillion dollar market caps to decimate single-revenue stream companies.

The Department of Justice should do something about this. Neither Amazon nor Apple should be in these businesses. They do too much and apply price pressure unfairly.

If this continues, $1T+ tech will be the entire economy.

Netflix, Spotify, and all of the other "little companies" should sue the ever-loving bejesus out of these monsters for anti-competitive practices.
I have just the slogan for you: "No Political Slogans!"

Outside of a very few markets that prey on desperate people's last dollars (payday loans, etc), most advertising's objective is to get people to buy something - advertising to those who can't afford it is useless.
Oh yeah, that makes sense! I remember a point when I used to hear my phone vibrate somewhere in the room, but when I checked, there weren't notifications. I still feel like I have too many notifications in general, working on turning some off and not stressing it.
MBAs are seen as analogous to Soviet apparatchiks: leaders who have little to no understanding of what they are actually leading.

> but what happens when a super conservative state does something less popular

Or like abortion. The new abortion rules in conservative states are betting they can sway the federal gov if a lawsuit arises, but its based on the assumption they'll get to ignore the gov.
The Corruption Index is similar - it’s based on how corrupt people think a nation is. Nothing to do with how much actual corruption exists.
I doubt that part of a TOS is enforceable as it restricts speech.

edit: No it doesn't, brain fart.
You're being downvoted but that's actually how tax works in the U.S. and Europe.

Tax is one of the few areas of law where activities can be declared illegal and subject to punitive sanction after the fact. For example, the fictive loss tax shelter scheme that was popular 15 years ago. Fictive losses were technically legal at the time the scheme began (in the sense that they were legal within the letter of the law but violated the intent of the law), and weren't explicitly stated to be illegal until years later (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkens_%26_Gilchrist).
My software team uses Haskell to help build tooling and support around an enterprise ISP environment. It's a shift in thinking from standard imperative/OOP programming, however, what we've gained is confidence in maintaining and refactoring systems that constantly change due to business reasons over the period of years.

Purity helps quite a bit with narrowing down bugs; you simply check that your inputs and outputs are correct without having to ever worry about state. We use effects to narrow the types of functions that can be legally called inside specific domain logic, which also narrows down a large class of bugs that we've seen creep into other code bases.

However, it's not a magic bullet. Time to getting someone unfamiliar with Haskell up to speed can be costly. Discovering time-saving idioms in a sea of bad documentation is frustrating. Smaller ecosystem than other popular languages means less blogs, and in Haskell's particular case the information seems either too low or high level with no in between.

Still, with 250k of production lines running as stable as can be, we have no complaints.
While I agree that killing advertising is effectively impossible I'm not sure I agree that the problem is that people aren't willing to pay for things.

I think advertising dollars paying for services that users use is a convenient excuse that companies use to justify it, but it isn't an imperative for why it should exist.

If you can't get people to pay for your service when they know the real price maybe your service shouldn't exist, or shouldn't exist at the scale it does now.

That being said your main point that the industry grew organically based on human behavior certainly seems true. Banning advertising (like banning lobbying or corporate contributions to elected officials) is an impossible game of whack-a-mole. It can't be defined tightly enough to be outright banned (are you going to ban telling people you sell something they might like?) and the value derived from it is large enough that people will get creative when you ban the outcomes.

That being said I do think the most egregious versions should be regulated. Ads to kids, deceptive mail or email ads that look like invoices or bills, ads that are obviously lying about features or benefits, but enforcement is incredibly difficult. I'm not especially optimistic.
Yes, that appears to be the point of the site.
That's interesting: It's like we've introduced "spoilers" into almost everything we do. I mean, if you have some discipline you can still do things "spoiler-free", I guess (specially if it's not a job or particularly dangerous), which I agree sometimes presents a great learning opportunity and completely different experience.
thank you! i tried this before and gave up on it for some reason... but now it's working quite well.
Google, this is a bait and switch mess of your own making.

The solution is to allow users an option to convert back to a free account without losing access to their data, files, apps, and any purchased digital goods.
Ask HN: Has Galvanize completely gutted the Hack Reactor brand?
I am in the current session of Hack Reactor. Galvanize has basically removed all Hack Reactor branding from the instructional content.

Hack Reactor no longer offers any in-person courses or an SF campus.[1]

There appear to be about 30 students in the course, in the entire Western US (not just CA). They literally can't fill sessions. The internal Slack is completely dead.

Worst of all, the material so far hasn't been updated in at least 10 years, judging by the dates on the latest commits. We're learning early 2000's Doug Crockford-style JS. I wonder if the rest of the course material is like this, too.

The course still costs ~$20K.

Is Hack Reactor basically dead? Are there any Bay Area bootcamps that are a better deal and offer industry networking or employer contacts?

How many enduring stars have those talent shows actually produced though? The first season of American Idol got us Kelly Clarkson, who is still well known enough. That was 20 years ago though. Can most people name any other winner of these talent shows?

Meanwhile several massive stars who have become household names (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kesha, Justin Bieber etc.) have arisen more-or-less the old fashioned way; via good marketing and viral music. And then there's Disney (Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Olivia Rodrigo, and Britney ofc, though she's another story...).

None of these stars became big by virtue of having particularly stellar vocals. But their voices were unique and suited to their music (and the likes of Kesha and Bieber made auto-tune part of their signature....what's T-Pain been up to recently?).

Honestly if one is looking to make it big in pop music, they'd be wasting their time participating in any of these talent shows, even if they do win. These days you just start a TikTok account...

I'm not sure raw technical talent in singing or playing was ever particularly emphasized in popular music, rather just a nice perk and fodder for stan wars.
In the town I live in, the police has decided to not to respond to nonemergency calls. They put the blame on their budget being cut and #defundthepolice movement. As it turns out some smart reporters looked up numbers and the budget was reduced in 2020 but it was increased back significantly in 2021.

Anecdotally, I see a constable car hiding near a stop sign close to my home almost everyday and ticketing people who do a rolling stop. How they prioritize pulling people over actually responding to incidents is beyond me.

The thought of pitching an accelerator/incubator to YC is kind of hilarious. Bonus points for a good PG impression at the interview.
Not if the police prevent enough (of certain) people from voting. They could simply give all the residents of certain areas the impression that they will be arrested (or blacklisted/long-term intimidation) if they show up to vote.

That's going to be the new normal in some states. Florida's governor is setting up a unit of special armed election cops.[1] There's a broad effort in red states to make sure only the Right People get to vote.[2]

>It is not free with Prime, just $2 cheaper

There's a free tier Amazon Music of 2 million songs included with Prime membership. That's the free music streaming my friend was using for 5+ years. She then upgraded to Amazon Music Unlimited for extra $80/year.

Can't tell if the article's 13% for Amazon Music is counting the free tier users.

My probably unpopular take: it's not the entire team, just one guy in particular. This guy has multiple serious mental health issues, diagnosed, and is trying to get the company to unionize. He has admitted to sleeping through meetings. He has taken multiple mental health breaks in 2021. He seriously worries that he would become homeless if laid off... as a google engineer. Forgive me, but I simply don't think this person is credible. It seems more like he just hated his boss and decided to try to smear him with the race card. Other employees on the team said "that they and many of their colleagues had positive experiences on the team and with Aubert". I don't think this is a responsible thing to report on, and the headline is pure clickbait. It delegitimizes instances of real racism.
I looked at this a while ago.

You're still voting with your wallet to the effect of the TV not being able to serve the ads that it otherwise would.

But anyway, ever since content consumption became prominent on mobile smart devices (smartphones, tablets), this battle is already lost - the TVs are merely playing catch-up with the rest of the industry.

It's so weird we talk about it like this, to say an entire swath of social research and theorists are "crazy," because they have the audacity to think a less-than-150-year state institution is maybe not perfect.

Like, do any research at all into the history of criminal justice, you will find we live in a very contingent situation now, one that has other options.

Like, do you all really think that police have been around forever? Do you really all think we would be violent state-of-nature monsters without them? That civilization is assured by them? Are we really so historically shortsighted that we see the existence of police as exactly corollary to law and order?

Can we imagine for a second that just because something is sufficient doesn't mean that it is necessary? Can we think about this rationally at all?

And then look at cost of the status quo... I don't know, its just so sad this is how we talk about it: the police (specifically, its unions/fraternities) truly have won the cultural battle. Doesn't even matter if there are some radicals out there, because the only way we can talk about these things means they will always win.

Call those people naive if you like, but "crazy" is just disheartening to hear for people who are mostly just angry and wanting it to stop.
The Windows Phones were amazing. I recently bought a 920 just to have it because I was obsessed with the design in the past (though most APIs no longer work). It is sad what happened to those phones. The hardware/camera was great imo.
Exactly! We ban spam, why can't we ban these advertisers? Make no sense to me.

Advertising is mind hacking. Mind malware. It's about infecting people's minds with ideas nobody asked for. Why is it bad when some spammer does it but fine when advertisers turn our societies into a literal cyberpunk hell? Why does their "commercial interests" somehow legitimitize their industry? Nobody consented to it. Why do they think they can violate our minds without our consent?
Reading deeper on that article, you'll notice a couple of things:
- they were using the lane for passing
- the citation came _before_ taking more than 1.5 miles became illegal

which means that they ticketed her for something that wasn't illegal.
It is not possible to check all possible locations for a leak. And in many locations, a leak will not be detectable until pressure is restored. An inrush of water at the main cutoff is ambiguous if there are any depleted tanks to refill.

This may be non-intuitive if you haven't lived through it.
Scarcity free sounds nice for the digital goods, but people who make digital content still need to find a way to get paid too afford all those scare physical goods.
But what happens when nobody sees the ads anymore? I run enough ad blockers that I never see ads on the Internet. I don’t watch broadcast/commercial TV. I don’t listen to broadcast radio. In my area, public advertising like billboards are very rare. It really isn’t difficult to live a life with very little ads.
Some leases specify that sub letting is not allowed and doing some would put the original tenant in breach of the lease agreement.
I agree with this. If you look at the threads on discourse, you'll see a lot of comments on discussions where someone claims Julia isn't fast.

I wish there were more meaningful comparisons posted in a more objective manner. I'd like to see comparison that takes into consideration "ability to refactor", "ease of readability", "performance", and a few other (perhaps subjective) metrics. I'm not sure Julia will win out all the time depending on the weights you place on all these metrics.
Could the Amiga file type use of Hunks be used here? Your code sections were in Hunks with each Hunk having a relative section that tells where offsets need to be updated to match the position in memory the Hunk was written to.
the police see themselves as a single unified group. this is actualized through culture (thin blue line, sheepdogs), organization (80% unionized, literally the state), and informal local agreements (gangs, corruption, coverups)
How to Automatically Post to Social Media from Your Blog or Newsletter RSS Feed
I have four active email users in my free "legacy edition" vanity domain workspace.

I am not willing to pay USD4x6x12 per year to have this continue to work. Looking around for the most affordable alternative for four active email accounts brings me to... Microsoft! Microsoft 365 Family Edition. Like a lot of salary drones I use Microsoft products at work, so I get a discount.

It is sad to be paying for full Microsoft Office capability only to not use it, only to keep my email addresses working. It seems positively bizarre, from the view of 20 years ago, to be fleeing from Google to Microsoft. But the fact remains, CAD$76.xx or so per year is something I can stomach for email address continuity for four people. Well, maybe the terabyte of cloud storage per user could come in handy for (encrypted) cloud backups as well.

If you can't get the employee discount, googling suggests the best deal for M$365 Family in Canada is: Costco! $99 for 15 months.

Anyone else find something good for four users? A colleague has Fastmail for CAD$46/year (paid multiple years in advance). I'd love to use that, but for four users... too expensive again.

> One can wish

It's not really a wish anymore. There are studies showing this, but I'm too busy to find them for you. Rhonda Patrick at https://www.foundmyfitness.com/ has interviews with various researchers on this topic. Here are some, but this is by no means exhaustive:

I find the outrage here quite amazing. This tier has been deprecated for about 10 years already.

Furthermore, the costs to upgrade are not egregious, most everyone here would not have a big problem with it.

What policies do you advocate for reducing child abuse?
Because every police department is organized in the same general way and has the same incentives. It's not at all about the individual officers - it's that organizing the police in this way has a corrupting influence. (Or, at best, it attracts people who wish to abuse power in various ways.)

As mentioned upthread, this story of the small town that has turned into a front organization for a police force that, were they not operating under the label "police," would be a gang of highwaymen, is a pattern that repeats itself a lot! When you see something that happens repeatedly from many different individuals who all happen to be in the same circumstance, Occam's Razor demands you at least consider investigating the circumstance and not the people.

There are almost certainly a large number of genuinely good and kindhearted and well-intentioned people in the employ of various police departments. They should leave their jobs, lest they stop being good and kindhearted and well-intentioned and become dangerous to society. Ideally, they would do that of their own free will; alternatively, we can defund their payroll. I have no problem with the individual former police officer merely by virtue of their former employment, and I am more than happy to judge them as an individual on their own merits.
Ooh lord, this reminds me of Mint and their useless email alerts. Every alert is along the lines of “You’ve been charged a foreign transaction fee! Log in to see what / who / when / how much!”. This is obviously to drive engagement at the expense of UX and, you know, actually making a useful service. I absolutely abhor this practice and I’ve written a few feedback emails to explain as much. As if mining all my transaction data wasn’t payment enough, I must also endure irrelevant marketing for yet another credit card or home loan I don’t need. It’s further annoying that despite having a complete view of my finances, they can still fail so stupendously at showing me any ad with even the slightest relevance. I personally feel that although we live in this age of unprecedented consumer data, the actual useful insights leveraged by companies to sell things are still in their infancy. I basically see all consumer data collection companies as ripping off a few parties: advertisers they’re selling the data to, and in turn, companies paying to run “targeted” ads, and of course, consumers. There is a huge consumer appetite for RELEVANT products that could make their lives better or solve even the smallest inconvenience, and yet that appetite is met instead with a deluge of poorly-designed, ill-conceived, ready-for-the-dumpster products. Some people are starting to push back, but it’s a massive problem with no easy solution. Related: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mechanics-petition-for-repaira...
