Paris at night can be scary, while I never felt that in any Balkan city. On the other hand few smaller French cities I visited felt safe. It could be a problem with super-touristy capital of France.
Thanks for the tip. I might actually do that at some point. I have a 2011 model and am still happy with it, but performance and less support for apps is getting annoying.
Making the assumption that you work at a desk all day, and ignoring the good recommendations of a solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones, I'd recommend an ergonomic mouse and a nice keyboard. Personally I'm really into Logitech MX Vertical and MX Keys, but MX Master 3 is also very nice to work with. Has resulted in issues with wrists and hands reducing a lot. Your mileage may vary, though.

The dynamics of the KJV were different. N competing Versions had caused divisions among the people,
so the king ordered the making of one universal standard. The translation committee was aware of the goal and tried to avoid bias.
Curiously it didn't result in N+1 competing Versions, but KJV was almost universally approved and many older Versions were retired.
Readers have been content for over four centuries now.

In the case of NWT I think the bias matters because JWs deviate fatally from Christian orthodoxy.
How could you possibly know that the "process seems to work alright" without scientific evidence that it's doing so? You actually have no idea in that case whether you're doing harm or helping, and if you're somehow helping, it could just be a very expensive placebo.

I mean look at Citigroup.

C was $564.10 at the end of 2006. By early 2009 it was $10.20 - that's about a 98.2% reduction in the stock price. That's a much larger destruction of capital than GME ever was.

Don’t Microsoft have a weird strategy where they’re willing to match pay at peer companies but only if you have a competing offer (either as a candidate or existing employee), which means you’re encouraged to look around and see what else is out there if you want to be paid fairly? And you need to repeat of course because Microsoft won’t increase pay at a comparable rate.

Clearly with their base pay and RSUs, they still weren't offering enough.

A doubling of base pay means that they realize they have been way off the mark.
The CRTC regulations on broadcaster covers the following categories:

> Protection of children.
> Restrictions against hate speech.
> Protection of national production and national culture.
> Right of reply.
> Restriction on the quantity of advertising, of ad for certain products (tobacco, pharmaceutical drugs), and on product placement

Today, no internet company is considered a "broadcaster", and thus is unregulated by the CRTC. The bill is to propose redefining what counts as a broadcaster so that online businesses also fall under the regulations.

At a high level, I think it means Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc.

The issue is that the internet made it easy for everyone to become a broadcaster. So the question with the bill is how will you distinguish an individual broadcasting a video they made, from a broadcasting business or entity that would need regulating?

And when would an individual broadcaster become an entity in need of regulating? Is having 100 million subscriber something that makes you an entity needing to be regulated? Is it if you make money from it? Is it if you're paid by others for what you broadcast?

Then there's also the question of what is a broadcast? Must it include video, must it include audio, what about images? Or video games? Or texts? Or other forms of multimedia?
"Everyone wants to be the patent clerk slaving away in isolation who pops out with a new revolutionary theory of the universe, but it's just not realistic these days."

What I don't get is how some people have found the capital fountain but others haven't, and it seems to have nothing to do with whether the businesses are actually working.

A friend of mine runs a fashion business that has worked with actual A-list celebrities, yet turns away orders because they lack the cash to make the stuff.

Others have had a hard time getting appointments with VCs to show their deck, and others have had a tough time getting those that are in touch to put any money in.

But in the news it's story upon story about firms getting piles of money thrown at them. What's more is several of the ones I know about have pretty much nothing for a business, and due diligence would reveal it.
poking around on your socials, it seems like you've been building for ~5 years, and are just now officially launching, after i guess a capital injection from yc.

since the core ip is "deep" as you say, i'm guessing it cost quite a bit to develop, unless you built out all of the components yourself, which, while possible, seems unlikely given the technical complexity of each piece (you, and whoever else is on the engineering team, seem smart but this looks like "research edge" tech along several dimensions).

so i'm curious whether you paid the development costs up front (either using your own money or FFF) or if you validated and raised in small pieces. if the latter, i'm curious how one does that for such a complex product/service.

lots of assumptions in the above - feel free to disabuse me of my ignorance.

The Problem with Frameworks
I feel like people completely unnecessary put moral value on not following manual. There is nothing wrong with following it. There is nothing wrong if that girl wants to keep some building and play with them. She may or may not build own later, most kids move between the two kinds of play.

If younger brother dostroyed her own creation, in my experience, the anger is even higher. And loss harder to fix - you can help to fix it if done based on manual. You just can't if it was own.

The play is whatever kids do with it. When we demand that they play in certain way, so that they become more artistic ones, it is nit a play anymore. It is educational activity.

We know stars are distributed in various distances, this we know by observation. If not the earth but the stars rotate we must assume that billions of crystal spheres at different distances somehow rotate in exact coordination to trace the star trails that we observe. I don’t think there is such a huge “conspiracy” of crystal spheres to fool us.

They wanted me to send them ID so they'd let me look at an "age restricted video" on youtube. Namely a compilation of every time Samuel L Jackson says "motherfucker" in his first 10 movies or so.

Seriously. I'd rather rewatch pulp fiction.
> I generally like to cancel trial memberships immediately after signing up to ensure that I don’t forget about it and accidentally get charged for something I don’t want. [...] Most online services (including all App Store subscriptions) are fine with this approach.

Except for Apple's own services, which includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Fitness+. All of these will instantly terminate your trial if you cancel during the trial period, rather than terminating at the end of the trial period.

This goes against the way App Store subscription trials work for everyone else. Why? Because Apple isn't bound by their own rules, and I guess Apple wants people to forget and let the trial lapse into actual payment. It is certainly a proven (if unsavory) technique for making money.

If what you've read here concerns you to the point of throwing out the field, you're going to be immensely disappointed by every other scientific field, as well. [0] I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that this article could have been written about literally any field of science, with a depressingly few nouns changed. [1]

This is what people mean when they say, "science is messy". This is how the sausage gets made, and if you're cool throwing out psychology as a field, you're probably also going to have to be cool throwing out a lot of other fields. [2]

There are efforts being made to clean up how science is conducted, called "metascience", but it's a relatively new field and there's still a lot that hasn't been investigated yet. [3]

Basically, if you've ever thought of yourself as "pro science", you've been supporting what happened in this article, whether you realized it or not.

Amazon Is Raising Base Salary Cap to $350k from $160k
I made no statements about what the HN community believes. Only that mainstream media is driven by monetary incentives, which I don’t believe is a very controversial statement.

As for my opinions on what the hacker news community believes. We know that certain demographics skew certain ways politically, empirically. It’s not surprising given the demographics of HN that certain beliefs are predominant here. That has little to do with money, at least not in the way it does for media products.
> mostly going to be used by homeless (and a few people with medical issues like IBS)

This is a weird trope, and also just generally cruel. First: when public restrooms are generally available, they tend to be well used (I use them frequently in Tokyo, for instance). Second: even if they are mostly used by the homeless, that's good for them and us, because it means they have a humane place to use the bathroom, and it means we see less feces on the street and fewer places smell like piss.
I think the differentiation between "science" and "profession" is a bit crude. You obviously don't include mathematics in this, but it is a form of deductive reasoning as far away from science as the arts are. Deductive reasoning is just far less prone to fault than inductive reasoning, be it mathematics or philosophy, and the methods we have developed in some of the natural sciences over the centuries to model real-life behavior on mathematics are really great.

You are right that these largely don't exist in the Social sciences, but this is at least partially due to the much more complex subject matter. Still, both the social sciences as well as the natural sciences are trying to approximate reality through models built on experiments, and are thus fundamentally different from deductive reasoning in closed systems.

Not trying to mince words here, but engineering is applying validated knowledge to solve real world problems, sure, you can call it profession, but the fields generally associated with engineering are still in the business of generating knowledge. Medicine and Psychology heavily rely on the scientific method to validate abstract concepts, while engineering adjacent disciplines like Computer Science heavily really on maths and deductive reasoning to solve problems in the space of algorithms and computers.
INI made me nostalgic man!
For clarity: I never said I only have experience with WP. I'm not grandparent commentor. Though I am old :)

I started serious with PHP early in the PHP 3 era. Back in 1998. Coming from Perl and C (in cgi-bin). Like everyone back then, I wrote my own CMS, hacked on PHP and Perl portals, hosted PHP forum software and finally did most of my work in Drupal.

I've seen stuff. And many of it requires eye-bleech if you ever want to look at code again.
I was a 63 being considered for 64 during my time at Microsoft. I loved it. Great W/L balance. Interesting work. Great coworkers. Was really looking to make that a long term gig.

But my org got disbanded, and I got rolled into Mobile (circa 2008/2009 when Ballmer was using the economic conditions as an excuse to shutdown orgs). I was there building the first Windows phone. I hated that org. It was all schedule chicken and politics (you could have an iPhone, but you couldn't use it during meetings in front of GM or higher). I had code reviews rejected for "You aren't going to need that". I'd point them at what was coming in the next cycle and got lectured about "you should be focused on your current tasks not future tasks" in writing. But in person (i.e. no written record), I was told to write the code how the reviewer wanted (a 64 or 65 as I recall) and just keep the changes stashed for when the real work showed up. I hated working that way. So I got blackballed for a shitty attitude (and rightfully so. My attitude was shit).

With that said, I'm still friends with some people at Microsoft. And they love it. Just gotta find the right org (just like Amazon, Google, etc.)

Just because some shady factories are managing to fly under the radar building a handful of unlicensed ThinkPad keyboard clones without approval from Lenovo, doesn't mean it's something that Framework, or any other reputable HW maker who wishes to not get sued into bankruptcy, will want to touch with a 10ft pole for their own sake.

Has GitHub reverted its default branch nomenclature back to “master”?
I just realised when creating a new repo that the default prompt mentions master instead of main. Good on them, I'm glad common sense prevailed on this non-issue. Is this the case everywhere?

Current new repo text:

..or create a new repository on the command line

echo "# repo" >> README.md

git init

git add README.md

git commit -m "first commit"

git branch -M master

git remote add origin https://github.com/your/repo.git

Reliable professionals for just about anything. There's a ton of stuff I'd happily leave to others at a premium price, if I could only rest assured that they'd do it properly. I simply don't know where to look.
It happens to all applications like that.

Remember CUSeeMe, ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, Paltalk, ...

They start out pretty good then they rot. Something new comes along and then the cycle repeats. Right now people perceive Zoom works but 5 years from now we will be asking "How can Zoom be so bad?" and something new will come along.

It happens because instead of having multiple applications that can interoperate with each other where competition would lead to better applications, competition is based on two-sided markets that compete based on inertia.

I think that has more to do with 2020/2021 being unusually good years for the Mac in particular. Computers in general have been selling well due to the pandemic, and the hype surrounding the move to ARM generated a lot of sales. Anecdotally I know a number of people who upgraded laptops earlier than they otherwise would have due to rave reviews of the M1.
