There may be downsides for carriers of the mutation when fighting infections by other viruses. But nothing completely obvious (unlike, say, in sickle cell anemia).
The only reason I have private stuff on GitHub is because, last I remember, they don't have an "unlisted" option. If I needed a repo for anything seriously proprietary, I wouldn't use GitHub for that.

I can't stress how true this is. I've never seen the police solve any crime they were called for. They just show up and shrug.

However I recently saw the police raid my neighbor in full swat gear cause someone on Nextdoor said they saw a guy walking down the street with a gun (it turned out to be a cane). About 15 out of shape suburban dads playing operator terrifying children and high fiving each other after literally doing nothing. I don't value this institution very much anymore.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that amount of people willing or even able to do so is totally insignificant. Retiring to another country amounts to becoming stranger in a strange land where they may speak some English, with vastly different healthcare system and healthcare practises, having to learn and unlearn at least some customs or manners, leaving your family, friends, networks and safety nets behind. Starting over in another country can be life changing, but I believe that for most people it is simply not something they are willing to go through, especially during their golden years.

Oh and there is an added bonus: having to deal with stateside banks wanting to close your brokerage accounts as soon as you let them know you're about to move abroad with unknown intent to return. And finding it near impossible to open brokerage accounts in foreign banks when they learn that you're an American citizen. Because FATCA. (to be fair, I believe this depends a bit where you're relocating to, but at least with Europe, no dice)
I don't think that's where it comes from. It comes from the same places as Google, where people know the value of this community's attention. Posts at the top of HN are designed to get to the top of HN.
My sincerest apologies for agreeing with you and expanding on your points.
Being an "asshole" is not a white or black thing. Do you use linux? Because for many people, Linus is considered an asshole.

So, I've worked for a lot of effective asshole in my life, I may not have always liked them but I almost always respected what they were achieving.

So, sure someone is against gay marriage, i'm sure if you look carefully you can find uncomfortable things about anyone. I mean for some people just flying a US flag is a uncomfortable because it represents a country that still hasn't come to terms with genocide against the native people and imported slavery, as well as an economic system that rewards people for behaviors far more offensive than whether someone believes in gay marriage.

I've been sitting through my own companies D&I training for the past year or so, and the most important takeway I've gotten is something one of the trainers said, taken out of context... "We all need to get more comfortable with being uncomfortable"

So, if you damage your org over something did on their own time serving their own opinion your no better than them. Yes people trying to tell others what to do with their own personal lives (in their own personal bedrooms) is pretty sick, but so is getting into peoples private beliefs that they aren't wearing on their shoulder.
On Bliss: The Origin Story of XP's Iconic Background Image
There is no innate reason why a Google search on a subject should return high quality results. This is predicated on there being someone willing to write thoughtful, informative, well-researched content and post it on the open internet such that a search engine can monetize that content via user profiling and advertising.

There may have been a moment when enough people were willing to put up their writing/images/videos for free such that Google's search engine appeared helpful in "organizing the world's information". But that mission statement was is a smoke screen. Google didn't organize. The company, as a gatekeeper, profiteered off of the writing/images/videos of others.

The problem isn't that Google search algorithms are low-quality, nor that Google has been gamed by SEO. The problem is that Google has engaged in a scorched-earth policy of capitalizing on the work of others. Google created a secondary market in information, without funding the primary market -- which then withered. And now there is a tertiary market of SEO spammers capitalizing on the propensity people still have to think that a Google search will return the truth to them, gratis.
I vaguely disagree with this.

The issue (at least for me) is that google is no longer actually searching for the thing I ask for, and it's being blatantly disrespectful of users who cared enough to learn how to actually use the search features.

Quick example from today? I did a literal two word search - gulp admzip - and while the result are okish, an increasing amount of space is taken up by results with this handy little blob at the bottom:

"Missing: gulp ‎| Must include: gulp"

"Missing: admzip | Must include: admzip"

WTF are they smoking? I asked for two fucking words, and the top result doesn't include one of them. Then the second result doesn't include the other.

So then I add quotes around the phrase I want "gulp admzip" because I'd really only like to actually see results that include that EXACT phrase, and... drumroll... IT DOES IT FUCKING AGAIN: "Missing: gulp ‎| Must include: gulp"

And that literally has nothing to do with the quality of the items it's searching, and everything to do with Google deciding what I meant - Clearly I meant the npmjs.com package adm-zip, because that item gets vastly more views than any of the real search results.

I couldn't have possibly meant to restrict the search to the actual fucking phrase I told it to search for, because there aren't that many results, and they don't get many views.
For similar reasons as the parent: my SO's research group moved. Their PI then got diagnosed with a terminal illness and the department leaders are taking the lab space and grant money. To quote a friend of mine, we got "hyperfucked".

It's a tough crossroads. I am applying for work I really care about far away while my SO may still have a path to finish. No good answers, but we'll stick together through thick and thin.

Ugh yes that’s super annoying! I don’t want the answer spoon-fed to me. The point of searching it is to actually learn a little something which will help me remember in the future
We do have two options:

I think the current state of things is pretty sad. I only subscribe when I use the service a lot, I would like to subscribe to more services (to avoid being the product) but they are usually priced way too high. Take worflowy for example, I use it, free tier is enough for me, I like the service but is is far from critical to me. I would pay for it but maybe 10 USD per year would be my limit. There are a lot of services like that that wants 5 USD per month or something ridiculous. I think the real problem here is the cost of payments, but I haven't researched this.
A lot of people here are calling for the death of UAs, but this would be bad for video because capabilities are inconsistent across the web, and because APIs are incomplete or lie.

For example, the "canPlayType" API for whether a codec is supported returns "probably" or "maybe". So we sometimes need to hardcode which browsers support which new codecs.

Also, there are several bugs in past and present versions of decoder implementations, which are only discovered though manual testing, or by observing quality of service metrics split by browser version (Firefox does not handle bad audio packets as well as Chrome, for example). In IE and old Edge, the video readyState would always be "4" after playback beings, even during buffering, which is a blatant violation of the spec Microsoft refused to fix (as stated in their bugtracker).

Browsers like Safari have subtly different event orders from the HTMLVideoElement which requires a burdensome workaround that us working in video just like to keep to Safari instead of poisoning other implementations.

A final fun quirk is that not all browsers gave accurate HTTP timing information until recently (notably, Safari < 14) which make download timing for the purpose of determining bandwidth very inaccurate. This is why Twitch only recently supported low-latency playback for Safari. There is no other way to ask "do you support accurate timing" other than for an engineer to test it and hardcode an exception.

You probably have a partner and can arrange for shifts. Part of the deal is about flexible working hours. But yes, it is nowhere as bold as the French 35-hour work week.

Have you noticed that people that label a position or argument misinformation never want to have a discussion about it? The pattern always seems to be:

1. Call something misinformation
2. Ignore any counter claims (so they cannot be proven wrong on the record)
3. Call for others to "cancel" it (use power in numbers to perpetuate misinfo claim)
Hi dang, my mistake on the diagnosis, then. I thought that because I saw an error message that said " Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly." and after that the edit button was no longer visible for me on my comments. I often access this site through a ProtonVPN connection, so maybe there was some suspicious IP address heuristic involved?

The edit button is still not showing up for me, though. Do you have any idea why that might be or if there's something I can do to fix it?

Why don't you give them your stuff now?
I have to disagree. Ascribing your own real life behavior to an online forum seems like an avoidance of introspection, not the opposite.

It's good to want to be a better person, though.
I simply wrote an adblock filter that removes the links to comments from the main page.

For my customers, it does make A LOT of economic sense. The financial damage from being offline for a few hours and unable to reach any support person at your hosting company is very much real.

At their spending level, "Megacorporation X" would not pick up the phone for them. But I do. So in effect, my competitive advantage is not that I'm not a megacorp, but my competitive advantage is that I pick up the phone when they call.
A Quara link full of anecdotal evidence isn't really support for your thesis.
Not for me, but.. A honest question - now, when G suite legacy free edition is closing down, here's a chance to offer a service that's not "piggy-backing" on gmail (or any other provider).

You could "re-create Inbox" by providing email hosting with same/similar features - already lined up on your page.
Beautiful site. Your kid is very talented. Best of luck to you both!
But why rely on slow, inherently error-prone, human-run processes if you can automate it into something far less likely to misunderstood?
I see it as more how do we allocate resources to better causes in society, something blockchain based ecosystems purported to solve, but have this far not, exactly because it is a social problem not a technology one.

Blockchain makes all of these things harder and more complex. I have yet to see something a blockchain can do that we could not with existing technology. The supposedly better incentive structures aren't and are rather the opposite from what I can tell.
The CCR5 probably codes for a chemokine, these are a group of proteins which help white blood cells home on to specific locations, I would guess you may get some sort of immune deficiency if a chemokine protein was mutated enough
So it's better to NOT employ poor people than to employ them?
Your logic is .. curious at best.
I think that there's a better argument for paying them more than they could expect normally.
"Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly" is our little server process saying "help, I only have a single core and I'm out of breath here". If your account were rate limited it would say something like "You're posting too fast, please slow down."

I believe this was recently discussed, maybe 1 to 2 weeks ago.
Because if you can live within that walled garden, it's a very nice garden - faster and safer than Windows, easier to use than many Linux distros, cheaper than a Mac.

It's not a thesis. It's a comment on a discussion board.
I wouldn't be so confident that the code is coming from a library. We take code distribution for granted these days, but some fraction of the web today was built when the only way to get anything done was hand-rolled perl scripts.
There’s a fine line between classy masochism and utter batshit insane lunacy, sir.
Does this mean it's just a matter of time until Reddit faces the same problems that Google does?
Edit:

Ignore below as I skimmed the article too quickly. Shouldn’t try and read something like this with screaming children in the room.

I think this proposal is a little more complicated than it needs to be, and it's adding a lot of friction to an already annoying login process. I run a site that has a registration option, people avoid it as much as possible.

Personally I'm a fan of the magic login email link, super simple and reliable. Just fingerprint/cookie the device that initiated the login to ensure that the email has been clicked on the same device.

Most services would be compromised my a users email becoming compromised due to "Forgotten Password" recovery systems. So a magic email login link is no less secure in my eyes.
I've read the lobste.rs moderation log for a while and i think its a bad platform. pushcx bans first and considers second, there were several times users complained about it in the irc channel.

I remember the time when the poster of the (at that moment) no. 1 post got banned for self-promotion, because it was a link to their own blog.

The dataswamp domain ban also was a disgrace that looked like pushcx had no skin and a bad day.
If electric cars are so important then why are we relying on companies to build and sell them for huge profits? Make it a nation security issue and have government workers build an affordable electric car and compete with the private sector forcing their prices down. Until we start getting electric vehicles for around $20k mass adoption won’t happen.
If you're good at technology you're smarter than other people. Good to know!

The opinions at HN are like any other social medium, from useful to toxic. I would argue there is no difference in the quality here vs anywhere else, and if there is a quality difference, it's minimal.

People love typing more here, that's for sure.
Is it even scaled up, or is it just more legible to elites because they can see what the masses are saying?
A lot of that kind of thing slips through the cracks. Dang misses a lot of stuff.
Could you clarify what you mean by 90% ads? I would assume there are always organic results right after the top 2-3 ads, has this changed somehow?

Also you say the results were "all from different sites". Is that a good or a bad thing? I imagine having too many results from the same site would be less informative, no?

I'm very curious to try the same search query myself, but of course I understand that it may not be something you'd want to share.
What do you expect though?
To go on home page of Youtube or Reddit and find content exactly on your taste?

That is not reasonable, if I go on private mode on youtube homepage I am not surprised to find the most popular music that my countrymen are watching, stuff I dislike, so I bookmarked my youtube subscription page and subscribe to stuff I enjoy and use the search.
Not exactly a game, but I made a poker chip tracker for this exact purpose[1]. It would be really interesting to see someone clone it, and see the differences!

So what does Nucor think of this? Nucor, which started as a steel recycler, is the US's largest steelmaker. They use huge electric furnaces to melt down scrap. Scrap is 71% of their input. They now have some basic oxygen furnace operations, too, making new steel, but mostly it's the same steel going round and round.

If anybody is going to make basic steel with electric furnaces, it's likely to be Nucor. When they take this seriously, it's real.

I think there is enough capacity to build for both so increasing richer foreigner demand is not slowing down the building to meet local demand.
I wonder if this is true or not, personally I don't use email enough to invest in a product like this ATM but have been kicking the idea of starting a home based business up for a while now and think something like this would fit quite well.

Saying Email is just fine or whatever is along the lines of the re-inventing the wheel argument yet every once in a while someone does exactly that and the world is a better place for it!

*Edit*

The one thing that makes me a bit nervous is signing up with my google account, I wish there was more information on the security behind doing this, in other words am I handing the keys to the kingdom over to a 3rd party by doing this? Is my google account subject to any vulnerabilities this app may or may not have? These questions make me reluctant to "Sign Up" especially for a trial.
I mean gentrification is a thing but it takes a lot of demand in the area
My assumption is that once rates go up significantly, then people won't be able to afford the current prices. Especially since most of the recent wage growth is t the bottom end of the income spectrum, meaning the middle class might even see their wage value eroded through this inflation (for example I got a 4.5% cut due to inflation).
When I think of Toxic Kindness the concept of mollycoddling comes to mind. There's an emphasis on avoiding negativity and criticism as not to invalidate someone's feelings. Growing up I remember being told, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". Roughly, that represents the general concept.

But what I've found is that a lot of the toxic positivity types still hold a lot of negative emotion. However they can't express it without some justification. That justification usually comes in the form of attacking someone who has committed a transgression of expected kindness.

If people want to collaborate, sure. I play 3 instruments, have stripped multiple cars to the frame, and rebuilt them, grown food, cooked everything. Lets collaborate on something worth connecting over.

Please don’t make me collaborate over copy-pasting a bash script or a one line Docker command.

I find those issues have nothing to do with the complexity of figuring it out but belief in division of labor. A sad, functionally fixed idea of what a person can do.
No I am not. I am saying that giving that money to a charity, where Musk or people closely related to him, decide how and where it is spent, is not as generous as it seems on paper. If, for example, it goes to a charity that employees family members and in part is used to pay their wages, then you might understand how he gives the money away but doesn't really give it away.
