I doubt he's doing anyone's bidding. He has good reason to oppose anti-vaxxers; he's a polio victim.
"It's not a black hole, because black holes are collapsed stars, which is clearly not what we're talking about."

This is basically the style of argumentation being used here. Frequent equivocation over the terms "valid" and "black hole" to avoid addressing anyone's actual point.
I figured someone would ask - no, I didn't have one handy, all LBSs were sold out and online orders would have taken too long.

Python has a much stronger relationship to C than Nim. Thus many would argue it would be a better recommendation to learn C, if a Python user. In the case of Nim, it would arguably be a language to learn instead of Python, as oppose to somebody who is already an advanced Python user.

Other strong choices of newer languages to choose from would be Golang, Rust, Red, or Vlang.
I assume you're trying to say "he did do that", but that's clearly false, since Amy Coney Barrett is not a white man.

As we know, no software has had bugs caught once launched to prod. The existence of some software that worked under this model is not evidence that it is a good model. "Just test prior to release" is not a complete solution.
Did I break down and take it to the LBS for mounting? Also, absolutely not. Why pay someone $20 to mount the tire when I can spend an hour fighting it and end with nasty blisters?
Does anyone know if there's a good app I can use for plaintext accounting on my phone? I'd love to be able to use syncthing to sync the ledger on my PC and phone. It'd really help me stop collecting receipts so I can bulk put them in when I get home.
Should this mess endure, people will just keep using dollars and other fiat currencies.
Is it really? From what I can tell these are all Etherium-specific terms. This is not standardized. It might be consistent but that’s not at all the same as actually being standardized.

This seems like saying that Chef terminology is standard. It might be internally consistent with its talk of recipes and ingredients and whatnot for imaging machines. But this terminology is not standard because it’s meaningless to someone who had experience with a different imaging platform.
What are you talking about? The question is still nominally open (even if comments are disabled), and that person is not even a moderator.
That applies to basically everything in and related to America. Healthcare, education, "defense", social programs, immigration... it's all really just a con job by a subset of what is a kind of neo-aristocracy/nobility that pilfers and pillages their income and wealth through con jobs committed against mostly the middle class by way of how the whole system works.

In many ways the system is not any different than a casino; the promise of winnings and riches, while the whole theater around it is purely meant to provide confidence (i.e, the con in confidence trick) to separate people from their money while making them think they had a good time (feeling good about themselves, the primary appeal to people's narcissism).

Yet, somehow no matter how much we blow at the Casino called education/healthcare/"defense"/social programs ... the only thing that gets better are the bank accounts of the executives and directors and presidents while all the measures and statistics and metrics have scraping a bottom for decades.

The only war the US government and the parasitic people that make it up have ever waged successfully, is the war on getting the value of the work the middle class does into their parasitic pockets through all manner of schemes and con jobs.

Out of curiosity: has anybody used this to do business accounting?

I am intrigued by these ultra simple setups. However, most accountants -- the people who will ultimately help you once your business is sufficiently complex -- will use Quickbooks or some other established software.

Ha, I think that’s the most legit usage of the term.
It is not a problem until someone comes along with a significantly better experience (eg. Apple). Until then, the mass market cares more about price.

"Your honor, the victims of my ransomware attack decided to use a modern CPU to run my code. The attack would not have succeeded have the victims used Z-80, so there's no one to blame but the victims themselves."
True, as I said it's a very complex problem. However, in complex societies the lowest common denominator applies (to most anyway).

You may not have the chance to run away as you'll be forced to stay, like it or not. We saw that played out many times in WWI, WWII and in Vietnam where conscription was rife and the rules of the draft were essentially inviolate and not negotiable.

I know from personal experience, I opposed the Vietnam and was drafted anyway much to my chagrin (I won't bore you with details as they're not relavant here).

However, the Vietnam War was not one of those conflicts to which I was referring above. This is why there was so much opposition to it. Simply, it was hubris and false logic on the part of those governments involved and that's only a tiny fraction of the story.

Where a war is not 'legitimate' (as I've defined above), I verily believe one has a moral duty to oppose it at every opportunity. However, that's much easier said than done. One should never lose sight of the fact that armies have been recruiting for millennia and they know evey trick in the book. Feigning illness, etc.in an attempt to escape is often extremely difficult.

There's always the conscientious objetion route but that too can be an unusually difficult path.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I believe there is an extreme case where one has no other option other than to fight, so I couldn't honestly argue conscientious objector case (perhaps I'm just a bad lier).

In the scenario where there's no other option, escaping to safety also has horrible drawbacks. First, you're leaving the dirty work for others thus increasing their burden, second if you have any conscience or moral fortitude then you'll live with that for the rest of your life. You may not think so now but you will later - perhaps many years later.

Ah, the US civil war was three decades after the Indian Removal Act, so most of them were in modern-day Oklahoma (bordering Texas, Arkansas and Missouri). That makes sense. For some reason I placed the US civil war about 50 years earlier.

A pinch flat (aka snake bite) will generally have two pinholes, making it relatively easy to identify.

With that said I have never had a flat on the outside of the casing without actually an obvious sidewall tear/puncture. Definitely possible, but I would say it is far less likely.
Oh no, where will it end
Young's stance is more like "I don't think Spotify should associate with this specific person because he exercises his freedom of speech to say things that I disagree with, and I don't want to associate with them if they do". Not wanting to associate with Spotify isn't in and of itself anti-free speech, but it is when that's your reason why.

No, I couldn't do it. Even apart from local family connections it would be difficult professionally. If I wanted to switch jobs or was let go for some reason then I would be limited to jobs that were completely remote, or I'd have to relocate again. 100% remote is more common these days, but not enough for me to limit myself to those options. And in some cases those 100% remote jobs will/are going away as COVID becomes more normalized as the status quo. (That has happened where I work. Partial remote yes. Full remote no.)

And yet, disputing charges via your bank and issuing chargebacks via VISA/Mastercard are things that definitely exist and work perfectly fine. And as long as there is no equivalent function in crypto, it won't be suitable as a currency for general use.

My hometown is large enough to be considered a city, and is just somewhat rural. You couldn't pay me to live there because it's very depressing. You've got one main highway with a walmart and a couple chain restaurants (Applebees and Olive Garden).

There's an old downtown area that's pure blight. Businesses that were just abandoned 10+ years ago and were never filled... and some still-operating businesses that look like they were abandoned 10 years ago. All local jobs are menial. Factory work dried up 50 years ago. 5 people I went to high school with (that I'm aware of) have died from overdoses. The education system is mediocre at best and there are lots of racists and bullies.

If you go more rural it gets better simply because you're living in the woods. At that point you're dealing with well water, septic, satellite internet (maybe starlink?), frequent electricity loss after storms, and general isolation. Maybe I'll retire to a place like this.
Emissions is one thing, but performance is another big deal. Just look at a Volkswagen bug vs a modern car. Modern cars have 2-3 times the power and that comes at a cost. Another factor is safety.

If we agreed (not suggesting this for obvious reasons) that everyone would just build ultra lightweight and fairly low power vehicles, I think 80 mpg is feasible, but probably a lot less safe.
Why Chernobyl Exploded – The Real Physics Behind the Reactor
Because they’re not really that different.

They’re state capitalist superpowers trying to flex and protect technological supremacy.
I don’t think web3 is a specific technology, like iOS or Android apps. It’s more of a statement of preferences, like the agile manifesto. Unlike agile, I have not seen a consistent definition of web3. Perhaps it is hosting content on a block chain. Perhaps it is a new privacy model to allow users to own their data. Perhaps it’s a way to have content and payments both be integrated into platforms.

I predict that “web3” will be an even more nebulous term than “cloud” and “web 2.0”. Anyone pitching a product will say it’s web3. If you have an idea for blockchain technology or anything that vaguely supports decentralization and also can put money into investor pockets, this is the time to make it.

Specifically, it forked because even though the system is specifically designed to make rewriting history impossible, the hackers screwed so many users that they decided to undo it by ignoring history and starting from before the hack.

Yes, frankly though the acronym doesn't mean much and doesn't explain much of what it does. It became sort of the facto name for a stock that contains a tiny piece of many stocks. Instead of buying 1 stock of Apple you buy one stock of an ETF that contains many stocks.

And if you do understand both, nobody believes you/they spend their time undermining you. The problem is that a lot of technical people won't listen to anybody who didn't work in their precise subfield for X years, and the non-technical people won't listen to someone without (for example) an MBA, even when that person is bridging a gap.

Of course I'm not as good at coding as a developer who's done this full time for 2 decades or as good at business decisions at most C-suite people (or I'd be running my own business), but I've been doing web development for over 20 years, and I've managed a few projects + have studied how to run an organization at the graduate level. Most of the time when I notice things and bring them up, all it does is either get me more work or it's just ignored anyway.

Part of it is that the tech and non-tech people don't understand one another, but another part is that they each think their way of thinking is the one best way.
No, censorship is the intent to prevent someone from speaking.

Whether you succeed or not depends on other things (in particular, an individual’s power).

All else is a red herring. As the saying goes, ”In the Soviet Union, we have freedom of speech. But in the US, you have freedom after* speech.”

I can't think of another tool which evokes the same level of recursive nostalgia as Midnight Command. Firstly, that it was the environment I spent most of my forays into Linux inside. And secondly, that I only fell in love with it because of Norton Commander in DOS (one of the main uses for which was setting up a parallel cable connection to my brother's PC to play DOOM together).
Me and my wife have been using EveryDollar. It's simple and pulls in transactions, which is good because I despise finance (despite being reasonably thrifty) and I'm also lazy.

>We are all chronically short on sleep these days. I'm surprised about the resistance to it in this thread.

People are short on sleep because they have too much stuff to do, not because there aren't enough opportunities to sleep. Adding an hour of sleep at noon isn't a free lunch (heh). You'll have one less hour of work done during the day, so all else being equal, you'll probably go to sleep 1 hour later and benefits are neutralized.
Wow, what's with vitriol towards “western” shit. Nothing you're bitching about is unique to Asia. Close-minded people are close-minded everywhere. Anything that isn't the prevailing norm is going to be demonized.

And while “ladyboys” aren't very common in the west there are equivalents. Gay for pay is a thing in the porn industry and people who can do it make bank.

Switched to tubeless last year, but prior to that I've patched a few as an emergency and tossed it when I get home. All of my patches held but I didn't trust a single one. $10/tube was cheap insurance against a potential disaster.

I do run latex on my gravel/cx bike and those go into the trash immediately as they're far more difficult to properly patch. Hurts a little more when you pay 2-3x the price though :(
To me, all historic associations with goal of "strong people" have "conquest and domination" attached to it as real goal.

In that context, it makes sense for it to be opposed to diversity. Just part of it stays unsaid.

And thinking about it, "strong values" tend to imply conservative. People don't say that about radical social justice proponents doing sacrifices for their cause. Nor about LGBT couple deeply faithful and in love. It gotta be religious to be called that.
> About 80% of the top comments here are "this infringes on free speech".

Indeed, and I'm pretty astonished.

Obviously Young himself isn't infringing anyone's freedom to speak. Maybe he is inviting Spotify to remove Rogan; I don't see that, but even if he is, that doesn't remove Rogan's freedom to speak.

One could argue that he's called for a boycott. I don't see that either; but even if he has, that just amounts to inviting individuals to make informed choices about which services they patronize, and which they don't.

I guess there's just a lot of HNers that like to listen to Young on Spotify, and are pissed off.
Yes, this. I am about ready to give up on Chipotle entirely because of the incredible lie that is their Ready to Pickup time. Last time I was there I would have saved time if I had just waited in their incredibly long line and ordered that way instead of doing them the favor of ordering ahead.

This is now, haha. I can see over 200 APs from my bed (1/2ish are xfinity wifi).

Fortunately my place is so small a 100’ cat-5 cable reaches any point in it, so I just use wired. Wifi barely works.

Considering wifi-6, but I can’t figure out if it helps with this type of congestion or not…

The real solution is better client software. Doing these checks on the client-side is free, that's where they should live.

It would be stupid to put these checks in the contract, they would be very expensive and only help people using unsuitable client software.
I have convinced my wife that Midnight Commander is an excellent name for our future black cat.
I'd also add an important point - never replace a punctured tube without thoroughly checking the inside of your tire for sharp objects. You'll likely only make this mistake once.
Do you feel that devices should just work seamlessly together?
>No good deed goes unpunished, eh?

The problem is that you think trying to sound smart by interrupting a conversation with irrelevant factoids is a "good deed". Maybe some introspection is appropriate here.

Let me guess. Your idealized society doesn’t have room for gay people either, does it?
I would imagine people in the city had more access to socialization.
Why don’t you feel their is a need for it?
When a consumer is offered a choice that is more attractive to them, it seems unreasonable to blame them for taking it.
Yep. Little users can still get screwed, but players too big to fall get to make up new rules.
