The downvotes on my comments and the complains are telling.
Please don't take HN threads into political or ideological flamewar. It makes discussion repetitive, tedious, and nasty. We're trying to avoid that here.

We have that in Sweden too. As an expat it's a complete nightmare for me from day one. Getting my bank to successfully issue it was impossible.

First, in the days before mobile bank-id, they sent windows-only hardware as I recall. Then came the days of letters/cards/hardware getting lost in the mail.

I gave up on it in the end. I have multiple things (banking-wise) I no longer have online access to because of it.

If you're going to make one system to rule them all you need to make sure the logistics actually work.
So is there a sweet spot between microformats and Notion ?
A common reason in my experience is that the things they've built were done very slowly. I've failed my share of interviews because I was having a bad day, certainly, but I have direct professional experience with many people who require hours of dedicated working time to produce even the simplest of pull requests. This isn't a complete justification (if I have professional experience with them doesn't that mean they passed our straightforward coding tests somehow?), but I do think that there's a real selection problem there people are trying to solve.
> under 20K, has more than 45 minutes flight time, isn’t loud or bulky, and is extremely safe.

These are of course, impossibly contradictory requirements for a jet-engine device.
that was perfect!
In the Jetson, a jetpack doesn't have to care about fuel capacity, safety of the pilot, regulations, and cost of production.

But in real life these are legitimate engineering constraints.

Also, if you can scale up a drone to be a 1-person vehicle, I bet it will be safer than jetpack.
Oh look, someone reinvented semantic web again.

Interesting, i didn't know about glacier.

The theory of hard drives being shut off/ powered on dynamically in a rack sounds intriguing. Sounds simple and yet difficult because of the rare usecase, i.e. no commodity hardware available. Maybe something to test out for colo backups to keep power usage down and prolong disk health.
Most of the time, it is a bubble. But it can remain a bubble for quite some time. And if you acted on it early, you'd miss a lot of potential gains.
It is plainly irresponsible, but if you frame it like this in a message board comment, you're practically baiting message board nerds into taking the opposing position for sport. This whole thread is pretty silly. I think the analogy between Rogan and Stern is weak, but that's all it is: a weak argument. Spinning off into 20 comments about whether Rogan is or isn't a crank isn't getting us anywhere.
Big makes it challenging. But also we are talking about big companies. The OSX/Apple, Windows/Microsoft and linux/IBM/Goog/Amazon/long-tail are big enough that they already invest lots in security and can invest even more. This is where central tooling teams and come into play.
Yeah, that's a trend. I think it's also the main underlying reason why Google results are getting worse (worse for elites like us...).

Oh I fully agree. The Windows bluetooth experience is terrible as well. I truly believe the Linux bluetooth experience, through desktops like GNOME or KDE or really any of the bigger ones I've used, is objectively superior.

There's a whole tangent of complaints I could make about the unified "modern" settings application Windows introduced I think in Windows 10 (maybe 8.1).
Quite a few of us cared. The teeming millions may not have, but definitely more than nobody.

Haruo Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, proposed emergency use of drugs mainly to prevent the severity of home caregivers in order to respond to the spread of the new coronavirus. He emphasized that antiparasitic drug "Ivermectin" should be administered to people infected with coronavirus because it has shown the effect of preventing severity overseas.

In addition to Ivermectin, the country called for approval for the use of the steroid-based anti-inflammatory drug "dexamethathone". The Ozaki clan said, "(both) there are few side effects. I want the country to consider treatment at the level of the family doctor."

Ivermectin and dexamethasone are prescribed in Japan. However, it has not been approved as a treatment for corona. As of the 8th, there are about 1,600 home recuperators in Tokyo, and about 1,600 people are "adjusted" without deciding where to be hospitalized. It is also a challenge to respond to sudden changes in the condition of home caregivers with mild and asymptomatic patients.

Mr. Ozaki emphasized the number of new cases per day in Tokyo that "removing it to about 100 people is the way to improve the situation from April to June". On the 9th, 412 new cases were confirmed in Tokyo.
You are already under hundreds of health regulations or "mandates". Pasteurized milk, refrigerated meat, measles vaccine required at admision get to school is standard in a lot of places.
Mechanics Warn That Walmart's Budget Bikes Are Built to Fail
There is value to pop-sci's romantic relationship with new discoveries in science. I don't think it hurts anyone in the target demographic to enable their sense of curiosity and wonder. Clickbait is hardly a fair term, as this article hardly shares a floor with true clickbait like false death rumours, hate and fear mongering, and outright falsehoods.
Well put. I’m a 29 year old male who moved to a new city right before covid and my life has basically been put on hold for two years now with my only access to meeting potential partners being Tinder (or bars, I suppose.) All the activities I try to join (other than my BJJ classes) are remote. Chess club is remote (might as well just play chess.com) my bipolar support group is remote, etc.
I don't know that its my mind thats chaotic though, I think my method of thinking is highly organized its everything else around me that is chaotic, especially my workspace. I would almost say my method of thinking is highly relational, almost geometric. I'm not kidding when I tell people I'm good at programming because I have useful hallucinations about algebra.
We have to support cloud providers in other countries due to local data protection laws (not every country has an AWS data center); doesn't it make sense to make your infrastructure management more-less uniform no matter where it's hosted? In some countries, providers may have only a single availability zone (in reality), or they can get very unstable from time to time (everything is down and god knows for how long), so it's natural for us in such countries to migrate our whole production between completely different providers several times a year. As an ordinary engineer whose job sometimes involves investigating problems in production or configuring something here and there (I'm not a full-time DevOps or SRE myself), I don't have to learn the details of whatever is the current cloud provider this week in the affected country N, I access the production system through a familiar interface which looks more-less same everywhere (k8s), including our test environments, too. Am I missing something? I am pretty curious what "cloud agnosticism fallacy" means. How would you do it differently?
wow! I have seen this in real life but had no idea what's the name.

It definitely seems simpler and safer than jetpack.
> I thought unless it was a protected class, discrimination is ok.

That is also my understanding, but everyone except young white males are in a protected class. Granted, young white males are pretty common in tech, but you would still be wise to design your HR practices in such a way as to avoid lawsuits.
There is a planned pivot from dirty electricity to clean electricity. There is no pivot from dirty NG to clean NG.

I'm sure he's got them. He already had reasons for the previous invasion of Ukraine, involving ethnic Russians who wanted to rejoin their country. For all I know it was even true.

I don't know what the reasons would be for the rest of Ukraine, but I don't doubt they exist. I also don't doubt that they're not the real reasons.
I don't think the OP is saying that there wasn't a need for mechanized power, just that it wasn't profitable to get that power from steam.

Water wheels have no fuel costs, and very little ongoing maintenance costs. A steam engine that could be built in antiquity would be incredibly expensive in both respects. So even if the technology existed, there would be little economic incentive to use it over a water wheels, since transportation is cheaper than fuel and maintenance.

As recently as 1900, steam engines were so expensive that most farmers rented equipment by the day.

You seem to have watched a different interview than I did. I don't recall seeing the interviewer ask about what else they did with their time off. I saw the interviewer accuse the person of being lazy and ask if they had higher career aspirations.

The right to private property does not mean you can't be taxed for it.
Hmmm... Not sure that Jetpack 2.0 will ever be a thing like the iPhone was.

Helicopters autogyro, planes glide, balloons (usually) lose their lift slowly.

A jetpack, like a rocket, is a thing that has no business flying. Only a large, heavy-handed impulse of energy allow them to oppose gravity. Without altitude and a parachute, there is no Plan B for a jetpack engine failure, loss of fuel, etc.
Yes, Rogan was quite smart to get a real prescription and to get the actual human medical product. CNN (and other news agencies, and people on twitter) were outright foolish in attempting to make him look dumb (he won that round). I am quite irked at the people who thought the way to recommend not taking ivermectin is to shame people.

That said if he is smart enough to anticipate what people are going to say and adjust his actions to negate them, you'd think he'd also be smart enough to see that there really isn't any strong evidence for ivermectin being useful, and it's also possible you can take the drug, have no positive or negative effects, and get better from COVID, even if ivermectin made no difference. From that perspective, thing he did that was bad was "not even being wrong" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong) in the sense that we can't say really much of anything about his experience representing a generally useful medical advice.

Rogan is smarter than the average bear, but he's not in the club of the smartest bears.
There's a fast difference between what you've describe, and what's being done as describe by the article.

Intergraph is probably not the only company that drops off gear and encourage students into a possible career. There are lots of educational discounts for computer hardware.

> About half way through the following school year they sent a couple of representatives to observe the classes

I'd say this is the key difference. They observed. The project is presumably of your class's own volition enable by their contribution.

The article is essentially describing indoctrination.

Granted, the line can be hard to draw, such as painting floors in (presumably) Intergraph purple. But this case, I think it's quite clear that Amazon and Intergraph is poles apart.
As already explained by carefully reading the opening of the post.
I'd like a tool similar to this but for sed or awk usage. Like to see interactively what would be the output for given input and command. Particularly for the toolchain distributed with Ubuntu. I believe demand for such tool would be greater than just me. Let me know if you know one!
This is not very scientific for being labeled like a study but I would agree that people with ADHD are certainly not without great value. I do feel that many people with neurodivergence tend to be deeply creative.
No-one's freaking out about those parachutes with a lawnmower engine & seat attached, and those have been around for many years and can be seen flying all over (at least) the rural Midwest.

Now, flying them over other people's property or over a city is, and should be, another story.
The container could be held in a local drive that syncs to a remote, such as Dropbox. The sync will be incremental. Still it’s not a good approach.

Also I sometimes use LUKS on top of a LAN network share such as Samba, but I don’t recommend this either.

XTS mode and lack of authentication used in disk encryption are drawbacks.

An AirTag doesn't help with that - you're basically looking at a bluetooth beacon. All apple's devices randomly rotate wifi+bluetooth MAC addresses in order to prevent that.

Operator in the Kubernetes world is a different thing from a human operator of a computer system.

The Kubernetes operator is software that continually compares what-is to what-should-be and makes a change that changes the state of the world to be closer to what-should-be. You specify what-should-be and (if all is well with the world) the system morphs itself into that in a more or less expeditious way.

The original article described this pretty well.
I think the next big thing in software is going to be that almost every office worker will start writing basic software. Maybe in a python like language.

People spend a lot of time and effort to do simple repetitive stuff that anybody can do with a 10 line python script. They don't do it because nobody has told them it's that easy.

30-40 years ago, an average office worker wouldn't use a word processor for typing out documents. They would have probably used a typewriter or written it by hand. Now everybody uses Microsoft Word. And they use it well, without major issues.

The same thing will happen to python or another language like it.
No, he doesn't, or he wouldn't have made the analogy. He's not dumb, and he knows the rap on Rogan. His position seems pretty clearly to be "if you don't want awful, dangerous medical advice, don't listen to the show", which is a coherent argument, just as "if you don't want to work in partnership with a company that has a significant financial interest in promoting dangerous medical advice, you should dissolve your partnership" is both a coherent and compatible argument.

What you've got here is an attempt to win this debate by DQ'ing his argument. That's never going to work, not least because it doesn't engage with the substance of what he's saying. Instead, it just invited a bunch of comments sticking up for ivermectin; it had the opposite outcome to what your premise suggests you wanted.
Yeah, Delos are pretty open about there being a lot of maintenance, and video editing (~80 hours work total per episode), they just don't show that most of the time because people (like me) want to see the other stuff.

As a boat owner, a lot of this is true. My boat is on the hard right now and the yard will handle some of the stuff that needs fixing, but I'm doing a lot myself for two reasons:

1. It costs me less real money

2. I enjoy it.

I'm a CTO, I spend my life in meetings, spreadsheets, documents, and sometimes a text editor, terminal or database console. On Friday I am heading to the boat with a friend. We will drink some beer, then on Saturday we will break out the spanners and service the seacocks, replace some interior trim we took out last time, fix the cockpit manual bilge pump and a few other things.

Honestly, this is the stuff I've been looking forward to more than anything in the last two weeks since I was last there.

If you want relaxing, charter a boat, pay a skipper, or get a hotel, no judgement :) I've never really been able to relax for more than a few hours without wanting to do something though, and sailing, or the inevitable maintenance, is a really happy thing for me to do.

Of course another advantage of doing this stuff yourself is that you can afford to hang around the Bahamas, or sail around the world, something that you can't do so well if you aren't willing to do maintenance yourself.
If I could afford it I'd buy it and learn how to use it to commute to work and back (safely, of course).
This is the unfortunate side-effect when social and political signifiers become snarl words. I haven't done a science on it, but it seems like most people who use "left" sans detail and don't consider themselves leftist bundle DNC, DSA, and all the other center-left factions into one and imagine them being led by whoever the current DNC leader or president is.

I double checked /u/givemeethekeys' post and it's hard to pin down a definition. They mostly seem to want to accuse Biden of being a Republican while also insinuating he's a leftist, so their whole analysis is deeply confused (or confusing as presented).
If you think leaf blowers are loud and blow shit everywhere, wait until folks have a leaf blower powerful enough to lift a human being with its output.

Could say the same about the wright brothers in the early 1900s. Longevity of the flight and safe operation can only improve in time. The question is does anyone care. People will be scared of it and if not does it offer anything over cars? It's not like you can fly it over private property , there will be laws that regulate where you can fly it.

Just give me hyperloop tunnels to overlap subways and freeways and I am set. Especially with better bike lanes.
My brother has flown one of these on a tether. They are deafeningly loud and put out tons of heat so you need special clothing and it needs to be cool downed after use. Have to fly low to the ground or over water where you are better off with other means of transportation. Not to mention this thing runs out of kerosene in 10 minutes. Not practical for consumers in the slightest.

> 1. Some things are good in themselves, some for the sake of other things, some both.

Some people may agree or disagree with this sentiment, that an action can be inherently right or wrong. Afterall, context makes all the difference.

> 3 “Happiness” seems to be to be that ultimate good.

Unfortunately, we know that this isn't the case. Even is an absolute morality exists (meaning that a thing could inherently right without relying on some other authority), we know that happiness is not it's ideal, because then Utilitarianism would be fundamentally right in all scenarios, and it just isn't.

Furthermore, if we characterise happiness as an absolute goal, then why not just hook your brain directly up to a Seratonin IV for the rest of your life?

Free Speech is important because just having someone tell you something is true isn't enough. There needs to ALWAYS be an open forum for disagreement, of anything. Even if you think something is right, it shouldn't be free from criticism.

If an idea isn't strong enough to stand in a free speech debate then it isn't worth holding onto.
Was 39 or so when I left. I still did remote consulting work from the boat the first year while doing the refit, but it meant the refit was going too slow :) No job since, see other comment about money.

Bought boat in UK, sailed across the English channel a few times and then down Biscay, Galicia & the Rias, Portugal, up the Rio Guadiana (amazing), through Gibraltar, Costa del Sol (yuck), Baleares, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, then Sicily and Greece again (because Greece is great and also because Covid). Couple other trips on friendboats.

Atlantic crossing E-W with the trades is no big deal, but going the other way (Americas to Europe) can be scary and is not for inexperienced sailors.

If the Med is your dream, might be best to buy a boat here instead. Boats that are great at ocean crossings aren't best at Med sailing and vice versa.
Australia’s Leader Lost Control of His Chinese Social Media Account
Thanks! I saw they have a working group on crypto so applied to join that, keen to see what they're up to. Standardizing data structures across chains makes a lot of sense but sadly there's a lot of competition rather than collaboration between them "Mine is better than yours hahahaha moon" etc... I'll have to give this some real thought! I think one issue may be that the specification is so complex implementing it within a new DEX without buy-in from others means it's a lot of work with little reward. Might be the case that if larger established front-offices/exchanges start expecting it that crypto could follow. Coinbase released an API standard that blockchains had to conform to for testing the chain prior to listing so it's not unprecedented for that to happen.
