Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Private companies using public infrastructure to earn money (and usually not pay tax in said country) rubs me the wrong way to be honest. Not talking about the fact that users don't give two shits about where they park: in front of my building door, in the middle of the sidewalk used by old people / pregnant women, in the middle of the bicycle path

Then we can talk about the newspeak term we use for this new trend, "sharing economy", which is as much about "sharing" as renting my flat to my landlord is "sharing" (ie. it's not, it's renting)

We can also talk about the digitalisation of every single aspect of our lives. Want to move ? use your phone, want food ? use your phone, want to be distracted ? use your phone, want to date ? use your phone, you ran out of toilet paper ? use your phone, uncle Bezos got you covered

Food delivery robots ? I don't even see the point to be honest. Sounds like a solution looking for a problem, just how lazier can we get ?

If the future is half assed dumb pizza delivery toy cars being stuck behind badly parked glorified kids transportation devices idk what's awesome about it. It kind of sound like a comedy version of black mirror. I guess if you just stop your reasoning early enough all these new fancy/cheap/disrupting services are indeed awesome. You can trade money for convenience and forget about everything else. Just don't think about who profit from it, how it is rapidly and deeply reshaping our societies, &c.

It's all about merchandising every single aspect of your life, but consume away, we're in Paradise !
I'm not saying this is bad advice, but I don't feel like you're really thinking about the issue. If the child is spending all day on his phone, how do you think trying ``communication'' is going to go?

If you don't take the phone away, the child won't interact at all, beyond the superficial, ``school was fine.'' If you do take the phone away, do you really believe interactions won't be tense or contentious?
Calendly for Teams – Teamcal.ai WDYT?
My dad would take the modem with him to work, and when he was at home using the internet he would turn it on, wait for it to boot, load a web page, and then turn it back off until he needed to load another webpage. That was the only way he actually stopped me from getting to the internet, but it was a too much effort and he didn't keep it up for long.
That's the 10% good info that I referred to.

If I drop into a random page of a random Ian Cutress article, there's a high probability it will be interesting and well thought-out content.

If I drop into a random LTT video and scroll to a random timestamp, it's most likely going to be some minimal content arbitrarily stretched past the 10 minute threshold for YouTube monetization. I can usually find the answer to the clickbait headline with enough seeking around, but many of his videos contain so little actual content that it could probably be summarized in a couple of Tweets. His specialty is expanding it into 10+ minutes of overly enthusiastic, slow-paced talking about it.

The information density is at polar opposites of the spectrum, and that's by design. YouTube favors quantity and clickbait, and it's no secret that Linus is playing that game as aggressively as he can.

And on and on...
In regards to screen time management and as a tech enthusiast dad of two kids--I have learned that simple low tech solutions work much better than most other more complicated methods. For example to limit screen time at night... we have a rule that all of the kid's devices need to be charged over night downstairs in the kitchen. I have a charging station setup in the kitchen for all their devices.

Also during the week devices are only allowed upstairs for homework use only.
Only just hearing about LTT Labs now, but it sounds like a great idea.

And i see no problem with LTT and their approach to hardware, it is entertaining but make no mistake, that they know what they are talking about.

But let's see what LTT is up to.
Focus on the Mafia’S Thinking Mindset
I'm sure many can relate to having strict parents literally "cut the cable" to get us offline when we were younger.

This problem only gets harder as technology progresses. There's no way to win this battle given the plentiful options to get online nowadays. You can do all sorts of things like block websites, traffic, or even delay priority so gaming is infuriating to play.

The solution is definitely in parenting styles. The strict removal / cold turkey approach doesn't work. Sure you may get your kids off temporarily, but your relationship of trust is going to be the cost of it. Your kids are going to conceal much more from you and encourage deceit which makes your life as a parent harder.

I think it's rather important to be open & transparent with your kids. To help them be self-driven and understand the consequences while giving them the freedom to do so and intervening/supervising enough to know if it's detrimental to their development.

Prevention is only temporary, kids will find a way around it.
Anything from the cosmopolitan/αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε world is always a delight.
And it's a bit hollow. Watching Canadian police break up protests and then start hugging protestors [1] afterwards shows how they use kid gloves in this situation. A far cry from how they've treated pipeline protestors and the like. They're purposefully failing to manage this protest, and simultaneously using it as an excuse to demand more power. I think it's pretty obvious the next left-wing protest in Canada is going to be much worse.

I haven't seen any left leaning groups cheering this on; but there's too much irony to ignore. Akin to watching Capital rioters worry about getting prosecuted under the rules Trump and the DOJ put in place to harshly prosecute BLM protestors.

Here's a podcast covering the actual common sentiment of the left [3].

Yes I believe in save early save often and don't bother squashing and have multiple commits usually in my branch before a merge request. We have another team member that religiously squashes everything down to a single commit on his feature branch before requesting a pull from his branch. We don't have micromanagers so that's just the way things are.

That doesn't sound right! What is an example?
It's a bit confusing because she seems to be claiming that his career has been "unfairly" hurt by this case.

Not sure what to say to that really - would you hire folks scamming like this?

> and that everything's sandboxed in WASM anyway, there's just not much cost to this kind of memory unsafety bug...

Presumably, without the potential for memory-safety bugs, there'd be no need for anything like a WASM sandbox, no?

If so, then can't the costs of the WASM sandbox (overhead, potential exploits in the JS/WASM runtime, etc.) be tallied under the column of "costs of memory-safety bugs"?

In about the same sense that e.g. the costs associated with running a Web Application Firewall in front of a Wordpress instance, can be blamed on how vulnerable/exploitable Wordpress+PHP are as a stack.

If you avoid introducing an attack-surface in the first place, then you don't need to spend effort on guarding it.
The extra charge is in installation fee, but yeah, for 800 USD the cost of 25Gbps transmitter is negligible over letting go of a client needing more than 10Gbps, and ready to pay for it.

Note, it's not a PON, but real symmetric, point-to-point connection.

I once had 250mbps over 1000BaseLX, and it was way more expensive than 500mbps GePON coming after it.
I think Rust’s hole purpose is to be an ergonomic language that supports modern practices and generates very fast executables. Safety is a nice thing to have, but that’s just an icing on the cake for folks who need it. For me at least, a proper type system, reasonable ownership model (slices and co), modular programming are worth much more than “safety”.
Maybe so. Suppose it's false. In that case, how do they become inoculated? By being ill. What does treatment of that illness cost? Practically nothing for most of them, a six-digit sum for 1-2%, which is then a four-digit sum per person on average. And with that sum in mind you can go back to the article and read the final paragraph.

I like the suggestion there. Make them pay an insurance premium, the fair price for their choice.
4)Social activities and dating pool for people not in a family unit
It is less about fraud and more about the existence of draconian laws (imprisoning debtors) in a place that professes modernity and manipulation of or utter disregard for said laws by those in high places. All parties including the main lender knew about the irregularities you cited, yet they agreed to restructure the loan. The man's fraud charge normally carries a 3 year sentence but he's still in prison 13 years later because his sentence got extended based on the bank's request.
I thought kids could set their own boundaries with tech (like I did), but I no longer believe that's possible. The internet is like a drug and sometimes you need to take drastic measures to keep your kids safe from it.

I got my kid on all Apple devices and set screen time to completely block him out outside of school hours, when unfortunately he is required to have his computer all day. He's never been as respectful, attentive, or creative as he is now, and after an angry adjustment period, I only regret not doing this sooner.
Like it.

Slack integration?
The text drawing code isn't using WinUI tho, they embed terminal canvas into something called "islands", so in this case it's not an UI frameworks fault. Besides I have used it on relatively old laptop and it was fine for me, but others experiences might differ.
I don't have kids either but I remember my youth well enough to know that this probably would have worked on me and my parents just telling me to stop probably wouldnt (and hadnt if they made the effort to do this)
But why? These are same parking spots I would park my car in.

A parking spot for cars is useful to only one person at a time, if converted to a scooter parking space with some paint it can serve vastly more people.

Straight up donating parking spaces to private scooter share companies is probably a net positive for the public.

In my first comment I said "Are you western?", so the rest of the comment goes if he/she was western. And the thread is about Arab countries, so replying while assuming you are talking about Arab countries is also valid.

I am not sure who is full of hatered here, telling me to go f myself while I am trying to say my understanding about a place I know more than you do.
Why right wing? I’m rather left leaning, even by European standards. I’m not some crazy antivaxxer either, plenty of those on both sides.

Nevertheless the pandemic responses by various governments I have to interact with have done much to deepen my distrust of them and the society around me.

Various governments have deployed drastic measures such as lockdowns in an effort to control the pandemic, but they’ve released little evidence to demonstrate the usefulness of these measures.

Research is increasingly showing that the lockdowns were not worth it. If that is really true their victims should be lavishly compensated and those responsible actually held responsible.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijcp.13674

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7499782/

Of course I personally am not qualified to judge whether or not the lockdowns were a mistake, but the evidence seems to be piling up against them. The governments could alleviate these concerns by showing solid research confirming that they didn’t fuck up.
I just dream of the day when Slack has "all threads with unread messages" show up in the side bar - somewhere. Let it be an option you can turn on/off, if need be. But right now I feel like I have to obsessively scroll down the threads list and look for things that are new.

Maybe it's a company size thing, as mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. At my size company (<10 people), every thread I'm watching - I pretty much need to see all of the new messages.
Cool, so now Microsoft can continue sabre rattling about patents and the 'true cost of ownership'. Cool.
The tough thing with these laws is that the direction is clearly positive, yet it seems to just harm anyone doing remote work in CO. Hopefully they don't have to wait for the tax base to erode before making adjustments to the law or waiting for the rest of the country to enact similar laws?
Is not about bosses and reports, it's about performance. I wasn't anyone's manager. My role as team lead was to organise, coordinate and supervise my colleague's tasks, on top of my IC contributions.

For another example, a guy joined a different team and was killing it, but was getting paid less than another college who was in the company 8 years and was hardly pulling his own weight.
Sandisk has multiple documents on this. "They" is a pretty big paintbrush.
Sadly the problem is not the scooters themselves. They don't park themselves at random. The problem is the people.

If, in general, people were just at tiny bit more respectful of others around them - the world would be a lot better off.
So you didn't read it either, huh?

The point is, we need more electricity to save the environment. EVERYTHING needs to be electrified and our infrastructure is not even close to up to the task. Bitcoin mining has incredibly unique incentive structures which could be gamed to accelerate green energy production and development. There is no other use of energy on the planet with the same properties that can fill the role. We need Bitcoin to use MORE energy!

These are highly unintuitive ideas. I don't blame you for taking headlines at face value and regurgitating them - they make sense at the surface.

I challenge you to read the white paper and listen to the author explain his stance, then tell me where he's wrong.

Huh, now that you say it I think I do remember that being used for heaps.
So $843.60/yr ($70.3/mo) + a 1-time $361.54 fee? I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. I pay a little over $100 for 1Gbps symmetrical plus a static IP.
> what grounds for evicition?

Trespass; at the expiration of the lease period, without an agreement (which can be inferred from acceptance of rent after the expiration, so don't do that) the tenants become trespassers.

> Unpaid rent?

That or other lease violations are typically only needed as the basis when the tenant has a current rental agreement. (Either in writing or inferred from acceptance of rent by the landlord.)

But, yes, the potential of having to deal with the process isn't something that should be ignored (nor are all the positive obligations on landlords.)
As a parent you're up against a widespread addiction to social platforms that dramatically outpace you with psychological tricks, fomo, and advertising. It's insurmountable. Your kids will go through phases where they won't listen to reason, and will often seek out ways to defy it.

In a perfect world I'd agree that parents shouldn't do stuff like this, but the world is far from perfect.
I agree, when do we abolish taxes?
Every bill I have is on autopay. I usually do regular 1099 contract work a few months per year. I must say I don't understand the need to invoke generational wealth on a forum for people who can bill anywhere from $60-$??? per hour.
Somewhat tangential, but if you want to obtain an intuitive understanding between probability and information (and thus understand many compression algorithms), play around with this excellent interactive graphic from Wikipedia that explains arithmetic coding:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Arithmet...

It's from here:

The ANS algorithm mentioned in the article has the theoretically-close-to-optimal compression ratio of arithmetic coding and the speed of Huffman coding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding)

If you broke from the narrative, you were massively attacked...

That said, I was a very early user in /. - so much so that some of the prominent users I hired as linux tech consultants prior to LinuxCare... (long story and ego-s begone)

Seems easy enough to teach if those developers have picked up whatever is in front of them in the past.
Transcribing an entire ebook this way is going to be _expensive_.
Hah, I invite you to say the same after you've tried to get them to do anything about a residential break-in or vandalism.

Like everything else they orbit centers of power and serve those structures. There has to be real wealth involved to get 'service'
On one hand I respect their success - what they do isn't easy and they run a successful business. On the other hand, I'm not at all impressed with their info-sparse, silly, light-hearted approach to their content. I understand there's demand for it in the market but it's a big turn-off for me...

Don't inflate the value of real estate deals in exchange for kickbacks.
An interesting thought, but are you suggesting we could run arbitrary Rust code, unsandboxed, in users' browsers?
I am sorry to hear that but I am also not surprised. Time, money, and support from other friends/family are essential for avoiding serious internal family strife, and those are the three resources that are stripped from by any go-getter in a wealthy country merely by the act of moving up in the world.
That's not 100% true any longer. I was helping to defend a drug dealer whose assets were frozen and we looked into it - there is federal case law now saying that you can use frozen assets to pay your defense attorney if the funds are not connected to criminal activity, which is an argument you can make:

To me the original comment came off as frustrated and possibly anxious about the "rules" of dating and I tried to respond to that. Maybe i missed the mark.
The scooter rental companies in my city have a rule in their contacts specifically prohibiting parking such that it would block the sidewalk. And you have to take a picture of the scooter when you end your rent.
since when is a corporation a person? if they leave their crap in public then I personally couldn't give more of a fuck to what happens to it
My understanding is that obesity is a factor but not wholly explanatory, especially because there are documented sperm count declines in other species (Dogs)
I've been as a tourist and had expat family live there for ~15 years. It's safe until it's not. Any unexpected confrontation or interaction with the officials can go sideways quick because they will fabricate whatever story fits their preferred reality and subject you to the consequences of it. The driving example is the most easily discussed because it's common to witness the locals simply not following laws or basic safety. This is like rich guy in a lambo doing 3x the speed limit and deciding to drive the wrong direction and does quick and unexpected U turn causing an accident. You see this stuff regularly. But, he's not at fault because of his Emirati status and probably some level of caste system within that I don't fully understand. He could literally wreck his car, cause a fatality in the process, and just walk away from it with limited questioning from officials. The officials will find a way to explain it that does not cause bad PR for an Emirati.

It's best to have a handler. We had a guy that was a fixer. He worked for my family's employer technically and was available to all the expat employees in Dubai, but he was like the well connected guy you have on speed dial and call immediately if anything occurs. He'd swoop in and money would change hands and/or a phone call would be made and everything would magically be solved. I think in the 15 years they ended up calling him about 10 times and they're all insane stories over beers. Luckily, the few weeks I was there things were pretty quiet.
Oh, I'm sure there's plenty of real ones. Humans can be absolute trash, and most authoritarians have no problem, finding "justification" for their iron fists.

But we tend to think that unusual events are far more common than they actually are, and they use that to manufacture outrage and justification.

I don't remember what the term is, but this fallacy is a known one.
SpaceX is in big part successful through what looks like corrupt self-dealing and fraud. They bailed out SolarCity with NASA funded bonds and then instead of taking the L when SolarCity was to go bankrupt, Tesla bailed them out with a fake demo of non-functionable solar shingles followed by an acquisition.
Wow, bulling people all over the place.

> I lived 3-15 months each in more than 10 countries.

Is that supposed to mean that you know those countries more than natives?
Or even... a hn-specific crawler+cache that caches pages as soon as they reach a certain threshold of votes or even just appear in HN.
He may be guilty as hell but the fact of the matter is that doesn't mean the FBI can just take his stuff, it doesn't matter how guilty you look until you are convicted you are innocent, and the fact that it has been 20 months and there still haven't been any charges brought is ridiculous. Their money was taken before they were convicted and now they are not receiving a speedy and fair trial.

It is unconstitutional and wrong, it also sets a precedent, how long before the FBI finds out someone politically unpopular is being "investigated" another nice thing is that once they take your money good luck affording lawyers fees. Ultimately I was watching a trial steam once and there was a defence lawyer stated that the purpose of a defense lawyer isn't to make sure their client gets off it is too make sure their clients rights are protected and the state plays by the rules. I don't care how guilty someone is they are innocent until proven otherwise.
There was also a large group of textile weavers, who belonged to an organisation named after Nedd Ludd[0], that engaged in this practice of sabotage. Hence the term Luddite.

> Two programmers working on the same project at the same time is already slower than one programmer working twice as long because these two have to communicate. And during pair programming, the communication is sped up.

I actually disagree pretty strongly with this.

If you have two programmers working on the same project at the same time, you can split up the project along a pre-negotiated interface ahead of time. It takes some amount of communication to do that, but you don’t have to communicate about every single line of code the way you do with pair programming. In fact I’d say my #1 problem with pair programming is the added communication overhead.
