Love that you incorporated the feedback. I'm afraid it's still a miss, though. As far as I can tell, white is now used for both text and hyperlinks? Hyperlinks should generally be blue because that's what everyone has been trained to spot for the last ~30 years. It just needed to be a different shade of blue

And I'd make the text slightly less white than 255,255,255 because that can be too much contrast.
I didn't blame the west, I said they play a role. I realize there were a lot of issues before the US become a world leader and even before the British/French colonization.

I will say it in a different way, WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY, but you are too blind not to realize that by yourself.

My own anecdote: I've been a cyclist and/or a runner pretty consistently for the last 20 years. This year I moved to a place where cycling wasn't an option (without driving a long way), and at the same time I injured my knee by overtraining on hills. So I was benched from my typical cardio.

The results are unsurprising... I gained 15 pounds over the next 6 months, and am now overweight.

Exercise obviously plays a role in weight management. There's truth in the "you can't outrun your fork" meme, and it's good to remind people of the greater importance of diet for weight management to counter the widespread myths about exercise being some cure-all here. However, I do worry that overly reductive takes risk swinging the pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
Maybe they observed what widespread drug use did to China in 19th century, and what it is doing to US now, and are trying to nip that in the bud.
The article is from 2014, using the source installation.

I'd recommend to instead follow the package installation explained in https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/ to get going on Ubuntu 20 for example.
The problem is this guy raised money for a project in Dubai and used it for a project in Pakistan. If you fundraised for a startup building robots in the US and instead used the money to buy real estate in Canada, you would be convicted of fraud as well wherever you are.
It's so disappointing to see people going on tirades against these things for no good reason other than seemingly to fit in with the trendy new "anti-techbro" luddite mindset.

I understand that you are keen on the idea, but that doesn't mean every possible criticism is wrong. Dismissing potentially valid posts because you have an unfounded belief about the motivations behind them is not the best way to defend an idea.
To me at least, the issue is less about his guilt, and more about the lack of due process. In this case he was guilty, but in many others the lack of due process provides a way of punishing someone without any oversight or fair treatment and trial.
At this point I honestly think half the mainstream media just publishes these scare articles to get clicks. CNN should NOT be publishing results from preprints like this.
Yes, it was great. We were free to roam around inside and saw most of it, up to the monastery, and then up to another viewpoint ("the best view in the world"). I think we walked about 20km that day. It was worth it.

We bought tickets for the Petra by night show, and while it was good, we felt it was a bit expensive for what it was.

The martian landscapes of Wadi Rum were equally as good.
I see it as an optimistic but non-bullshit viewpoint: by actually becoming a better workplace (and the examples are serious improvements, not mere posturing) it's possible to compete with employers who pay more but suck. Easier said than done, especially considering that anything costs time and money.
It doesn't sell because it's not sensitive to how people feel about risk.
I mean, I’ve felt that way since the Commodore 64 and the feeling has mostly only increased. When I was a kid, I assumed video phones would look like desk phones with a TV on top. I couldn’t have imagined they’d be wallet sized, and include an encyclopedia.
He's merely saying the rules are the same. The higher skilled worker can afford not to live with 16 other people. I don't know about the passport, but in countries like Saudi Arabia: Yes - they do/did take your passport away, regardless of whether you're a lowly worker or an executive at a company. There's a process you have to go through to get the passport back so you can travel.

Even if they let you keep your passport, you still need an exit visa to leave. I've known wealthy upper class people to get stuck in the country for a bit because they had a dispute with their employer and the latter then refused to sign the paperwork so he could get an exit visa.
I think you can do this stuff in a respectful way. I've been in and around a lot of hiring situations where no one knew what they were doing, and were also aware they didn't know what they were doing. If your candidates start showing up saying "this is... not exactly what people do" that's actually really helpful.

For example, I'm fully against whiteboarding now. I'm pretty good at it, but I think it's irrelevant and ableist (lots of people have anxiety issues and so on). When companies ask me to take a live test, I decline respectfully, talk about all this, and offer alternatives (pairing, take home assignments, review of past work, references). If this doesn't fly, well it wasn't meant to be, and it's better we both found out early on.
My antivirus is my brain. I use disposable VMs in QubesOS (not connected to the Internet) when opening sketchy PDFs and other documents. I rarely open attachments from email these days, but when I have to, I do it with extreme caution.

Antivirus products these days are not very privacy-aware and most of them upload personal documents to the cloud for 'analysis'. Now and then I run ClamAV on my friend's computers to clean up spyware & trojans, but that's it. Rootkits are a bigger problem though and not so easily removed because of persistence, but they can be removed by doing a clean install or just using a brand new (known clean) VM disk image.
Yeah, it wasn't meant to be an abiding definition, just a right-now thumb-suck feasibility test. "If I can code you, you're probably not a person."

You're bang on the money with sapience being originally intended to be a merit badge for being human.

I'm guessing your last line was just riffing on functional purity but if not, my definition of sentience (which is a superset of consciousness) includes perception of current and past self-states which means (by my definitions, at least) an immutable construct isn't sentient by itself. I guess if you always pass in a self-state-vector then the system of (construct, self-state) could be conscious?
She was not provided with any evidence for the accusation. I believe her "I have no idea why" is related to that.

For example, I can accuse you of murder without any evidence. You know what I did, but you do not know why I did it. I think what she's trying to say.

Of course, "I have no idea why" makes a better headline...
One thing I have always wondered about is if seniority based compensation can promote training without fear of replacement, actually improving the team over the longer term.
That is terrifying.

What are some strategies you could use to insulate yourself from this, even a little?

I've got two ideas off the top of my head...

1. Cash stashed somewhere.
2. A lawyer with a big retainer paid years in advance.

Both of those would be really painful to do. What are some better ideas?
Had to chime in after seeing this comment. LTT is definitely a click-bait, simple and shallow channel but that's their strength.

LTT wouldn't be as big if they did highly technical "boring" analysis, they can be so big and influential because they are light, layman-friendly almost at a stupid level.

Youtube is about attracting the crowd and let me tell you something, the crowd isn't very smart for the most part.

Funnily enough I view it the other way around. LXC is a bit overkill, I just wanted to run a container, not an entire VM.

In my mind you need to treat LXC containers as VMs, in terms of managements. They need to be patched, monitored and maintained the same ways as a VM. Docker containers still need to patched of cause, many seems to forget that bit, but generally they seem easier to deal with. Of cause that depends on what has been stuffed into the container image.

LXC is underrated though, for small projects and business it can be a great alternative to VM platforms.
What is “weird stuff”?

I have actually set up two different ssid’s and the kids only connect to one, but I haven’t enabled time limits on theirs (yet). I need to, because the 13 year old doesn’t understand not to use devices which don’t have easy parental controls (switch) at night.

Previously I also edited /etc/hosts to localhost youtube, which was most effective (but not available on iOS/switch.

The big cause of the problem? Fortnite. I would love to just kill Fortnite but it would also mean disconnection from part of his social network (which he is experiencing currently)

So anyway, as a parent, you are up against a social network and an addicting game company - the odds are stacked against you.
We can agree it's still damaging, but it's nowhere even near as bad as seizure. Frozen funds never go away no matter what.

The blue collar middle class of the middle century was led by industrial scale manufacturing, which doesn't typically come from small companies.

I know supply side restriction constrains the creation of new housing as well, but the wealthy buying up properties in cities and renting them out or leaving them unoccupied restricts access to property in areas where land for new building is limited. You can build suburbs all day out in the stix (theoretically) but nobody who works in a city wants a 2 hour commute each way.

Depends on the city of course; I'm thinking Toronto, New York and London where empty houses are a big problem but I know that SF has a major issue with NIMBYism so YMMV.
Some children hit a certain age and then just don’t give a shit. Can happen to the best parents. Honestly, the only thing toxic about it is that it sounds like the the child didn’t know it had been done to him. Let them know they have boundaries. If he gets around it, at least he’s showing ingenuity.
They could impound the scooters, only to release them when the fines are paid; this prevents (some of) the inconvenience.
Why should scooter companies and robots be allowed to be rude to humans? We live in civil society and electronic things made by companies have no more right to the sidewalk than anyone else.

Is it an 'anti-techbro luddite mindset' or are unattended electronic devices being bad citizens?

I would treat any other jerk on the street the same way.
Or at least tell the kid, and have it play normally, but increase over time past the allocated hours. They'd likely work out which games have the best net-code and would be a teaching opportunity about TCP vs UDP xD

Ask HN: Are CO salary disclosure laws affecting remote work opportunities?
Hi everyone,

I'm in my late twenties and looking for states / cities to relocate to with more of a social balance than where I currently live in New York City. I feel like to continue growing I need to be in a place with fewer people, less noise and more nature (not to mention being able to save more $$).

I have a number of friends living in Boulder and Denver, however I'm not too sure if I want to make the jump to CO given their recent employment laws mandating employers publish salaries up front[0]. Although I support this legislation and the core initiatives of transparent compensation disclosure it's clearly driving some companies to explicitly not hire remote in CO.

Curious if anyone else here on HN can comment on the current hiring climate here, both for startups and growth stage companies that are full remote (think Stripe, Brex, etc).

Well, it reaches from Kent and Essex in the east, to the borders of Wiltshire in the west, and as far as the South Downs. It includes the Chiltern and Cotswold hills. It's more than half the width of England, and I guess 100 miles north to south. I'm not sure that "pretty small" is fair.

I didn't know it stopped north of Luton, but I'm not surprised - I think three big rivers emerge at The Wash.

I think I guessed 30M for the population of the Thames watershed, based on 8M for London, maybe a dozen towns of more than 500,000 in the home counties, and loads of suburban sprawl and smaller towns. 30M is about 1/3 of the population of Britain, which seems about right. But even with a map of the watershed, it would be hard to estimate without a list of the populations of towns.

Perhaps I've overestimated the number of towns of over 500,000; I live in the largest conurbation in this county, and it's population is just 140,000.

Anyway, my point was that the watershed is big enough (and complex enough) that unless you happen to know the answer, estimating its population is pretty challenging.
>There are more fundamental issues that need to be addressed first, and your kids will almost certainly get around whatever you're trying to do anyway.

I'd bet most parents intuitively know this, the problem is nothing they have tried has worked. How have you solved this problem?
> I've totally failed with my four step kids (15-23)

I don't know you or your kids, but I can almost guarantee that this is not true at all, so please don't tell yourself that. You don't take credit for their good traits and accomplishments, right? :)

There are way too many variables involved, the largest being that they are each independent people. You have no idea how they would have turned out had you not been in their life - for all you know, things would have been much worse and your involvement was one of the things that made the difference. And their stories aren't finished yet... people figure things out at different times; they may yet turn out just fine and look back with gratitude to a stepdad who didn't write them off even though they gave him every reason to.
"for free"

No, for a house. If I'm spending $600,000-$700,000 on a house, paying $600,000 + three months rent is still on the lower end of that range. It's just a different structure, not more money.

Yes, that’s why I suggested weekly

You can of course calculate the TDEE of your target weight but like you implied, unless you know your own, based on your own metabolism and intake, the data is never going to be accurate

For example I eat much less than my bodybuilder friends. When I went with the calories that they recommended to me I gained so much fat with a very active workout schedule and noone had a explanation why. Maybe it’s hormones, maybe medicine I take, maybe something else. I now eat much less than you’d expect from a person with my height and age, but I still gain weight, because my actual calculated TDEE is comparatively low

Having that data on hand as a reference is incredibly helpful to plan my weight progress
The food delivery robots don't look that awesome, in fact they look really shitty compared to their human counterparts. E-scooters are good at what they do at least, but they can also be a major pain in the ass, as we can see here where they are discarded carelessly because parking them is evidently not the techbros' problem.

It's awesome that technological progress is made, but that doesn't mean everything with a circuit board is awesome or we can't complain about technology when it causes stupid problems like these.
I hate greenfield work until it gets in front of users. By that time it's maintenance...as are new features. I love maintenance because you have a working application (which is the goal) and changes are (or should be) in response to user feedback. "Features" that are derived from internal dialog usually sicken me because they are usually user hostile. Anything that isn't user focused and accessible boils my soul. Churn for user manipulation, and developer induced complexity really piss me off.

My favorite is when we build a decent application and then marketing brings the UX to it's gnees with 27 tracking cookies.
This. We are above average US earnings for the region and we do not feel comfortable leaving current dual income setup. It is ridiculous, because on paper, we should be able to.

The simple reality is that we will need to make some adjustments to make it happen though, because we both see it as a desirable outcome.

I have yet to deal with real child issues ( and I know I was a terror to my parents ), but having time is a pre-requisite to not slap a simple 'solution' on the problem.
I would be proud of my kid if they did that. I would ground them, but proudly.
Such things of course exist but the problem is that internet users are inclined to see astroturfing, shilling, brigading, state actors, and so on in every comment they dislike. Then they react aggressively as if they are uncovering crimes, which pushes discussion quality downhill. That's why we ask people not to post that way unless they have actual evidence (in which case they should be sending it to hn@ycombinator.com so we can investigate). Someone else having a disagreeable view does not count as evidence.

>Our result is enabled by improving the fractional frequency measurement uncertainty by more than a factor of 10, now reaching 7.6 × 10−21.

how did people hear about it back then?
High aerobic fitness evaporates pretty quickly. The training you did a decade ago will not carry over to today. However, there are a few genetic outliers who can quickly build up a high level of fitness with just a short training program. You could be one of them, but it's more likely you're just getting bad data.

Absolute heart rate doesn't tell us much about calorie consumption because there's a huge variation between individuals. If we know the athlete's size, sex, and threshold heart rate then we can start to make some kind of estimate. But to get an accurate number it really takes a properly calibrated power meter (or more complex lab tests involving exhaled gas measurement).
> Maybe it's time you engaged with the cultures. I'm sure it'll be "No thanks". Surprise me.

I’ll surprise you: English is not my first language, I haven’t been in my home country since 2015, I speak 3 languages fluently, I’m currently living in Indonesia and can already speak my fourth language (although not well). I lived 3-15 months each in more than 10 countries.

You got the wrong person. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve lived it.
Every Linux package manager that I use have an option to hold one or more packages from upgrading. It’s common sense that one or more piece of software might break on update and the user should be able to hold it until a fix arrive. Even arch where it’s heavily discouraged to do partial upgrades have an option to pin packages.

What winget upgrade —-all *should* do is to follow this common sense and do a upgrade all /minus package that the user choose not to upgrade.
I don't know how important this is to you. Assuming it's very important, I would do the following:

- Find Instagram PMs on Twitter, DM as many as possible

- DM Adam Mosseri (head of Instagram) on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (from another account)

- Repeat the above on LinkedIn

It's an aggressive list of actions, but if getting the account back was really important to me I would try it.
The guy recording was mad because two folks were doing a land flip scam and front-running him and hadn't cut him in.

But they turned out to know about the lease scam that he had going with these two amazon employees. So basically he was trying to catch them out on their flip scam and was trying to record for that.

Full disclosure, Nelson and his wife are apparently claiming al the allegations are false? So it's all allegations despite the insane paper trail.
Totally agreed. I've been following Anandtech since ~2008 along with other tech news but I've always had a very low opinion of LTT. I've watched a few videos but they feel so fake to the point of cringe. I'm definitely in their target demo but they're way too childish for me to take them seriously.
Advances expire, and your cash stash would likely be a crime (so even if you were innocent of the original crime, hiding assets from a warrant would be it's own charge).

This is why we as a society need to stop civil forfeiture. It deprives the accused of the right of defense.
I thought of this classic drill article: http://www.team.net/mjb/hawg.html

Not sure that is the Unix philosophy but definitely the attitude of many 90s C programmers. But also we want power and safety at the same time. A smart matter drill, if you will, that will dissolve when it hits flesh. Rust currently ushers a lot of thought about safety into the coding process, while with C you can start dangerously and then fix later with Valgrind/Purify etc. fun but bad results for OpenSSL or sudo or parsers in general.
I do not believe there is such a thing as an API for copyright assignment. You probably require real life paperwork in the form of a contract. That or you can wait until you get the opportunity to test out your smart contract to see if it survives a court challenge. I wouldn't be able to predict the results of such a test.

As always on these types of questions. I am not a lawyer this is not legal advice.
This seems like an awful metric. How many of those projects weren't placed on github until they'd stabilized a bit? Are they file systems? How big were the "bug fixes"? How disastrous/critical were the bug fixes? Do they have a unittest suite? What compilers and linters did they use?
This is because the rate is calculated by excluding charges that were dropped by prosecutors, they only count dismissals and not guilty verdicts as losses.
What also amazing is that there's no extra charge for increasing speeds. That would be unheard of in the US, where artificial segmentation is the norm.
Oh hey, sand sifting through fingers. We get it da Vinci.

Why?

Part of the appeal of games is harmlessly doing things that shouldn't/can't be done in real life. I think the millions of 'people' I've 'killed' across various bloodsport-themed FPSes over the last couple decades is a greater evil if we're talking about shoehorning IRL morals into consequence-free virtual spaces. And if you disagree, why? Is mass murder not worse?

Maybe I'm just oversensitive to moralizing in video games, but this line of argument was no less tired over a decade ago.

Surely whether or not you chose to use a computer to achieve something depends on its capability. Computers are better at humans when it comes to arithmetic. They're worse than humans at delivering food (hence the tweet). It makes sense to use computers for one of these things, and not for the other.
> Comparing the covid vaccines to previous vaccines is simply absurd. You know what other vaccines do? THEY PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING THE DISEASE! The covid vaccines do not do this! Even if you get the covid vaccine, you can still get covid and you can still die!

Name one vaccine ever made that has a 100% prevention rate. I've never seen anyone claim this for any vaccine before covid.
