I have a XPS 13 9370. I've never had a problem with sleep wake... except that the Wifi doesn't always wake up from sleep.

It's soldered in so can't be replaced.

This is a laptop I bought with Linux support out of the box but I've given up expecting Dell to fix it. It's easier just to kill off and restart the wifi connection when it stalls.

Given that I'm not sure I'd buy another Linux Developer Edition laptop from Dell.
If this is so often used, why is it not part of the design of the plane? Yes, I hear what people are saying that there's a slip indicator that does the same thing. But the fact remains that many people still use a yaw string anyway. Wouldn't a plane with a built-in yaw string design sell better? Taping a string to a window seems to be far less robust.

How does online tracking work?
> This isn't actually related to the first thing? There's some overlap sure but for the most part whether it's in camel case or snake doesn't affect my ability to comprehend it.

This isn't about camel case or snake case. It's about the overall structure and look and feel of the code. When you know that public functions are at the top, constants are in a certain place, and where package-level comments are; and when you know that important abstractions and models are defined in one file, and their implementations in separate files; and so on.

Basically, it's the combination of all the tiny things that make code look and feel like they belong.

This is similar to when people say "this is not idiomatic Go". What I'm saying is pretty much "idiomatic for this project/company/product/team". Write it so that it matches the rest of the project. That helps people navigate and read your code, which is the most important thing.
> Any kind of large scale communications platform that allows file/photo sharing will need to do something like this. In fact the requirement to do it is about to get stronger if the UK has it's way.

Possibly, accepting submissions from anyone on Earth and then publishing most of them automatically is fundamentally a bad idea and should not be done.

> The alternative isn't particularly fun, letting bad actors monopolise a communications channel to broadcast literal shit at me, my children and friends.

I don't see how this follows. If anything, the centralization of attention driven by the current system is what does that.
> I always thought that a better model for moderation would be to distribute the effort. There will be people in my social bubble with similar reactions to the same content and once an algorithm understands these connections, it can distribute the effort of moderation amongst these like-minded people.

This can work in some scenarios, or when the junk is basically randomly distributed — e.g. flagging people spamming random business links — but it's a lot harder when you have coordinated attempts with resources. That's been heavily used to game things like Facebook or Twitter and it's not just bots — someone saying “go here and retweet it” can generate a lot of activity from humans who are decidedly not neutral. That can be done for profit, political reasons, or griefing and the latter two can be quite hard to detect.

I'm not sure we have a great solution for this other than destroying the model those companies currently have of surfacing popular/trending content based on the activity of people you don't follow.
By spending much of your comment denigrating other protests (presumably on issues that you care less about), you are doing exactly what you claim to be condemning. Try advocating for the specific laudable goals of your own cause rather than putting others down.
> Does Facebook have more of a prerogative to help people in Africa or to maximize profits/value for shareholders (primary among them, Zuckerberg)? And the answer is complicated.

Flip that question around.

Given that we know from various leakers, that facebook doesn't have very much capacity for anything that isn't english, do you think they have the expertise to recruit, train and verify people at scale in kenya?

I mean _they should_ but they clearly dont.
A similar case happened in the Netherlands.

Many people living on government allowances had been paid too much. Instead of admitting their mistake government officials decided to retrieve the money and sue for fraud.

The result is that many people struggling with poverty had to repay a lot of money, pay for their legal defense and pay fines. Because they had been labeled fraudulent they could often not reapply to any government allowance. Children were taken away from their ‘criminal parents’ and many of them burnt out, relapsed into previous psychological illness or had to live in poverty for years.

It is lazy to blame this on the software. Nobody bothered to check their story or owned up for there mistake.
This focuses on the American problem, but the phrasing makes it sound like other places do better. What lessons or practices can we borrow from mental health care in other countries? Short of building a large single-payer system (which I'm guessing the US will continue to refuse to do), how do other countries make care accessible and affordable?
Do you also support exposing homosexuals who don't want to come out?

People have a right to privacy. Stealing private information is the opposite of freedom.
They won’t. The desire for making a quick buck is too strong. The avalanche of marketing around crypto is going to lead many gullible people to “invest” in crypto and lose their money.

Unless regulators shut them down or expose them quite clearly as mlm/ frauds I suspect this isn’t going to stop.
There's lots of weird takes in your comment, but this one:

> I'm not currently invested in automotive. Just drive by some dealerships, empty lots. Not because they are selling out but because business is bad.

is a bad take. Dealer lots are empty because of supply chain constraints. Cars are selling as fast as they come in. Desirable new models like the Ford Maverick have months long waiting lists. Used cars that are 2, 3 and even 4 years old are selling for new or higher-than-new prices.
There is no reason at all for a German, Mexican, British, etc. practicing doctor to have to do a US residency at all after they finish whatever training qualifies them to be a doctor in their home countries.

You should have stated it this way. In your original post you referenced medical school and that gave the impression that you aren’t aware of the credentialing process to becoming a licensed physician. You had written:

There is no reason why Mexican, Canadian, British, Indian, German, ... doctors should not be allowed to come and practice in the US with more than some cursory verification that they actually attended a medical school where they are from.

There is actually a valid reason to make it hard for doctors to move from one country to another. Training doctors is time consuming and expensive. There is a moral aspect to luring doctors trained in poor countries to rich countries.

David Carr would like a word with you regarding your belief that supply/demand alone accounts for the pay of doctors. The supply would not go down if med school was free but starting salaries were x% what they currently are. The experiments have been run. Countries with mostly free higher education have lower doctor pay than the U.S.
Feedback on Playlist Sharing Website
Hello,

I would like to ask for your feedback on a website I've been working on. I recently developed a Spotify playlist sharing forum ( https://sharelist.org).

The site functions as a social board where users can share and review playlists. The long-term goal is to create an active community for individuals to find new music they enjoy. The website is currently in beta, and I hope to launch soon. Please let me know your honest opinion and any thoughts on room for improvement!

Site to test: https://sharelist.org

(Note: So sorry for the repost! This was my first time using Hacker News and I meant for the post to go in the Ask HN section, I didn't realize adding a URL would put the post in another section. My apologies!)

Thank you so much.

I don't want to start quibbling about abuse of the word "literally", but that's not what happened. As well as policemen, there were a couple of MI5 agents pursuing Menezes, and she gave them permission to act on their own initiative. It's those guys that cornered him and shot him dead.

People that hate freedom do this crap. If you disagree with someones politic, debate it, discuss it, whatever. When you do this you polarize people beyond reason.
I'm a huge believer that if people can't be trusted in society, they should be in jail, executed, or banished to someplace like Namibian desert / Siberia. A free man (after prison/probation) should be free; their conviction behind them and essentially erased. A free man can easily rape/murder/steal regardless of any BG check you put in place. If you're free, you have the full rights and priveleges of a free man including bearing guns or taking care of children or being CFO of a finance firm.

My memory isn't the best but I'm under the impression that not-quite-standard or otherwise crappy solutions were fairly common in major brand desktop PCs of that era.

I'm not defending those solutions, and I don't know if Dell's builds were even more limited than some other brands or not, but I doubt those kinds of issues were unique to them.
> I'm confused then, are you in support of cryptocurrency?

I'm neither. I treat it as a protocol like HTTP, use it where it makes sense, don't use it where it doesn't make sense.

When I say the "system", I'm referring to the system of centralized currencies. Banks have always wanted to know where large sums come from, and where they are going to, as the government will ask them questions about it and they like to be prepared.

> And aside from KYC issues, another recently posted article pointed out that when a single individual tried to unload around a 1500 BTC (%0.03 of the coins in circulation at the time) it caused a liquidity crisis that crashed the market by 20%.[1]

Not sure what KYC issues you're referring to. They are only a issue if you're having a hard time explaining where the money comes from. If you have a legitimate source for your funds, it's a couple of emails with some attachments to pass the KYC/AML checks that the major exchanges perform. Same thing will happen with you bank, and they normally will accept the same amount of evidence you send to the exchange.

And yes, if you try to offload 1500 BTC on the open market the market will correctly adjust. That's why I wrote about the OTC offers in my initial message, that's normally how you want to offload/purchase a large amount, as it's not gonna change the pricing on the open market, as you manually match buyer/seller.
I’m prescribed 3 controlled substance medications. I need to go online and send a message to my doctor every time I need them refilled, and I go through them all at different rates. I can’t get them especially early and if the doctor isn’t in I might need to wait, though I think he sometimes does it remotely. It’s insane.

My clinic’s backend used to have a slightly easier ‘refill prescription’ form but they changed it to only work with their integrated pharmacies. The closest one is an hour away.

My 5420s (~50 of them out of a ~200 laptop fleet) with an i5-1135g7 on Fedora Rawhide and CentOS 7 (with mainline kernel) don't seem to be affected by this, BUT I have a couple 5490s with 8656u CPUs that are.

I should note that the 8656u CPUs have been nothing but trouble (multiple mobo replacements and still have suspend issues).
I agree. When I first played Jazz Jackrabbit, it seemed like an interesting gimmick for a platformer for the character movement to be based on speed, but since, in a side-view 2D platformer, you can’t actually see what is ahead of the character more than a screenful, this represents too short a time to react to anything. It’s like a game made only for speedrunners who want to play the same level again and again to memorize it and get the best possible route. This was not how I played games, so I never played it any more.

Since SRB2 is using a 3D view, it seems that you can maintain the speed design while still have reasonable chance to react in time, since you can see what is actually ahead of the character.
So are much of the protest activity (not in general, but many of the specific activities of this protest are)
From the article you linked:
> For one, the new report was based on data only through November, before the U.S. booster campaign really took off. It also looked at data during the Delta wave and does not account for the surging Omicron variant.

The study doesn't take other variants into account. This is important because later findings reflect the unvaccinated would have immunity from just the one variant and not all of them uniformly. The language would have to be "recovered from all COVID variants" and the protesters have absolutely no interest in health or science.

I don't think that's normal. I have an old cheap Lenovo from 2012 that sees 4-12 hours of active use daily. It's almost always plugged in without any limits on the battery charge (which as a result is always at 100%). The battery still has around ¾ of the original capacity (it ran for ~4 hrs of light use back in 2012, and gives around 3 hours now).
> the timing of this seems to point to state sponsored hacking, no?

No.

The hack was obviously politically motivated, beyond that, nothing here points towards it being state sponsored. Non-state actors are equally motivated by the timing.

The idea that the Canadian government hacked GiveSendGo is also frankly ridiculous. Our government just isn't that lawless, and they could almost certainly get this data via legal means.
It seems you did BB stuff before, but ended up on the dark side. If you want to avoid sliding in there again, a "regular" security job might be a good idea.

It sounds a lot like pentesting in a web-focused team would match your skill set very well. But I suppose you already know that? I would not interview for Junior roles if I were you, or only if you're rejected higher p the latter. And if they tell you that you're overqualified, but the position and compensation appeal to you, just tell them you don't care and would be looking forward to work with them.

Regarding your conviction: This is most relevant if the clients require some sort of clearance. Also your employer needs be able to trust you, which means you have to demonstrate that you can be trusted (and add to that some blind trust from the would-be employer, but you not influence that too much).

There are also other security related positions, which you might enjoy. You already had contact with some large corps, maybe you could interview there?
I thought these protests were negatively affecting working class neighborhoods as well by honking horns during the night? I’m not holding a strong opinion on the subject but it’s kind of silly bias to compare this to blm with your phrasing.

Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds of years, so the truckers going through troubling times for 2 years doesn’t really justify the comparison.
For me, sort of yes but also no. It's kind've a wash actually. As you pointed out, this type of design is so common it doesn't really make the site bad or good, just "normal." On the other hand, poorly done designs set off red flags. So if you aren't capable of producing something original, it's probably best to go with this.

So I'd say it's a safe way to make an acceptable site. But I definitely prefer a site that is well-designed and not this generic stuff that is the trend. I agree, it's a bad signal:noise ratio and it also gives me a bit of an icky corporate vibe. /shrug

GiveSendGo is what he meant. All these guys are mixed up about the name.
As previously mentioned, I've argued the unpopular side of many arguments, and I've found HN to be eminently civil as far as Internet forums go. However, my standard is "civility" or "good faith" and not "people agree with me". I agree, however, that many of HN's critics share the latter standard (and thus are happier on far more toxic websites), but I think it's an awful standard if it can be called a standard at all.

> This is not about civility but about whether or not the environment is structurally hostile to certain philosophical discussions

It's not hostile to certain philosophical discussions. We've had many robust political and technological debates (including whether the wealthiest should pay more tax and so on), but that doesn't mean the unpopular view carries the day (indeed, my view point on this is probably the unpopular one on this forum, though not by very much).

Now speaking to your concern about which viewpoints get more upvotes, in my experience as a frequent dissenter and devil's advocate, I've found that you can do a lot more on this site to mitigate the unpopularity of your opinions by demonstrating good faith, showing that you understand counterarguments, and communicating clearly. If you make everything hostile and tribal, you're going to have a bad time, which I think is a feature of this site (and which is also very likely the motivation behind so many of the HN=bad types of comments).
I don't agree the cost of university is driving the salaries here. It's all about how many doctors are available to meet demand. If there are less, it's going to drive up salaries. There are other countries where the cost of getting a degree in a certain specialty is very low due to state subsidies but the salaries are very high once they graduate since they are scarce.

> then assigning morality based on party orientation? Somehow painting the right as working class victims, and the left as upper class aggressors?

Actually you read that into that based on your own biases. I was deliberate _not_ to do this specifically. The establishment media and government mouthpieces, both left and right, have demonized the shit out of this protest and painted them as nazis, terrorists or any other fear word they can get away with.

Truly independent journalists have been painting a very different picture by doing the things that traditional media won't do: long form interviews with protestors and ordinary Ottawans.
What do you mean, they don't have strategies? Billy clubs, steel toe boots, rubber bullets, pepper spray and tear gas on day 1. Haul the truckers out of their cabs, flanked by SWAT troopers with assault weapons. Drag 'em out by their hair. They've got tons of practice doing that already. Why did the police wait for an injunction this time? Why did it take weeks to secure that injunction?

Interesting side thought, this whole debacle has made me see the real value of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies..
I’ve found it very helpful to take a bit more “forced” approach in maintaining relationships, especially as I am very poor at remembering names and biographical details.

I just have a notion doc called “people.” At first people have just a name and a physical description, along with where I met them. That just helps me remember names.

But with my partner, different subsections have emerged, with gift ideas, movies to watch, fun things we could do.

The approach outlined in this doc seems to focus on scaling the number of people you can keep in touch with. I struggle to see how this is different than traditional social media - eg the impersonal happy birthdays we’ve all come to ignore in Facebook.

> And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

I am somewhat puzzled by this take. Consider how much people donate to people in other countries that they've never met and in which they've never voted. Consider how much people donate to content creators that they want to support (youtube, substack, etc.). Consider that there are currently several fundraisers on GoFundMe for the people of Ukraine, who are afraid of an invasion — also, presumably, from people from other countries. Why are the donations to the truckers by the people who are sympathetic to their cause any darker?
