No, is the other way around. You claim UBI would work and the problems some of us said are not real problems because it could be solved. So now, it is your turn to explain which mechanisms would avoid those problems.

Otherwise I could say "erasing money would make us live like aristocrats" without explaining how or why, and you should try to figure out why I could think that way, what kind of tools and mechanisms I thought of and after that, explaining why it would not work. Obviously, I could say those are not the right tools for my idea, so you have no real counter arguments, yada yada yada...
Aha! This explains a 20-year-old mystery bug! In undergrad, one of my side projects was a procedural 3D world from scratch (kind of Myst meets Halo), including physics, graphics (OpenGL), and the raw synthesized sound of ocean waves and plasma grenade explosions from sine waves via granular synthesis. After about 10 minutes exploring the world (or running around throwing tiny spheres down hills and scattering them with plasma grenades) my relaxing synthesized ocean wave sounds started to sound garbled and distorted so I always had to restart the program — now I know why :)
I agree the gender wage gap is generally an issue at the aggregate level due to individual choices.

I disagree with the language you use later in the comment (fought, won, given). Negotiation skills shouldn't drive compensation. Value to the company should. If someone is doing the same work and making the same value, then they are earning their salary. Differences in pay can be explained by documenting the difference in value that is produced - something they should already be doing in performance reviews.

These steps could help anyone negotiate. I'm not a woman and I was lowballed out of college due to a market downturn at the time and my salary has suffered ever since.
Some of these are clear improvements - but many of them are simplifications that lose depth and nuance.

The world is filled with detail, tailoring text to meet the needs of people unable to grasp that detail does not remove it - It obfuscates it.

Sometimes simple and direct language is good. Sometimes it makes the entire conversation devoid of usefulness or meaning.

Work to understand which context is appropriate for what you write.
Ask HN: Where to find project managers for customer development (not LinkedIn)?
Community, I lost my Linkedin account but I need 10 interviews with Project Managers (current or former) in 48 hours. Trying Facebook, but no response yet. What are the options?
How to learn things at 1000x the speed
If you have a regular job and maybe simple investments like a retirement account or stocks, can follow written directions, and use a calculator, it's really not that hard to do your taxes by hand.
This is a soundbite falsehood. The military industrial complex is the driving force of the internet and all things computing. Porn is just another monetization.
I don't know about you, but although I too am old and stable I have plenty of data-loss bugs, and I'm running on hardware that needs regular downtime and constant maintenance in order not to fail catastrophically. I therefore don't want my file systems too much like myself.
Sadly, I don't think this is a good signal for anything anymore except being past a certain age and having been around Linux at the time. ReiserFS hasn't been relevant for fifteen years, as during its heydey it was quite unstable and after the incident development stopped completely. I say this as somebody who was in the storage industry in the early 2000s and worked with an engineer who personally knew Hans Reiser.

This announcement and video both link to the front page on cryptocurrency awareness, which is https://www.secretservice.gov/investigation/DigitalAssets .

Halfway down the page in the "Useful Definitions" section, I thought the layout was using a CSS grid. When I opened up the DOM inspector, I was horrified to find nested <div> elements that got increasingly deeper with each grid row.
Totally agree with this. Otherwise, I don't see UBI solving anything, but creating new problems.
What? I can't find any codenames for 2000. All I can find is:

I worked in a consultancy in London in the 80s. Salaries of everyone were available and usually pinned on a notice board. It was very liberating.
> Most obviously, if your study claims that C++ uses 34% more energy, 56% more time, and 14% more memory than C, it’s time to reexamine your assumptions. Approximately every C program is a valid C++ program, so C++ can’t lose, especially not that badly!

Benchmarking software is so easy to do wrong. It's so easy to manipulate the results if you are so inclined, and even when you're trying to be evenhanded it's so easy to disadvantage one of the systems under test.

Different approaches are called for with different tools, and the classic error we see over and over again in benchmarking studies is the inappropriate application of idioms which suit one of the competitors across the others.
Fair enough, but then it's not an "elegant" decision we should be in awe of (as in the title "Wordle is pretty damn smart").

It's just the default of "I decided not to tackle this problem because it's hard and not a priority for my design". This was also what I defaulted to with my C64 BASIC games when I was a kid, "I don't know how to hide this, so I won't".
In recent years, I created a habit of limiting sharing of data. I have a local backups and encrypted backups on my server. Cloud sharing is for limited use-cases with unavoidable scenarios. For the rest, after fighting with Emacs Org-mode I settled to plain markdown with Obsidian.
Yup the design scene around the turn of the century was a magical time. Really happy to have been a part of it. Wish it still existed but we went from being punk 20 year olds trying to prove ourselves to middle aged adults with families and careers. Not everything can last forever.
I would love to see just how big the disparity is between countries.
Agreed, it is a bit strange, but I do feel like people are slowly getting wise to the swindle.

Unfortunately, I think socioeconomic pressures are also pushing people to compromise in ways that are not in their best interest, even if they do get it. In other words, they'll get the 'cheap' product that invades their privacy, sells their data, and shows ads to them, because they don't have the money for a product they own (see: television market).
If you read the full context, the misunderstanding comes from research not done by the Rust community. You just found a way to reinforce your own bias.
> You are assuming a stick of butter doesn't have a standard amount,

No I'm not, it's just completely unknown here (and I believe in most of the world). Don't make me look up '1 stick butter size' when I'm trying to follow your recipe..

The reason I say it's more annoying than cups (which are arguably worse because I said there's multiple, but in practice they're so close it's not likely to matter) is I suppose just that it's enough less common that I don't have 250ml in the back of my mind when I read it.

When I first came across it it was even worse, I assumed it was like 'a knob' (knife off a little 'stick' of butter from the block), which is obviously much less than it is, and didn't think to look it up as something standard but unfamiilar to me.
That is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time. I've been a super-bat person or whatever since I was a little kid. I feel the most alive at night. I am also happily married. I have IRL best friends. I talk to my mom every day. She literally has never not been surprised when I text her earlier than 11am.

Yes, I feel normal when I'm the only human awake for miles around. I also like when my friends stay up to join me! I also like pretending like I'm that one caveman who stays up at night at the opening of the communal gorge. I say that half-jokingly but I really have no idea why humans would be awake at night otherwise.

Anyways, I'll keep a look out, gang. Sleep tight.
Article recommendations and increasing engagement with OpenAI GPT-3 Embeddings
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. FedSoc and ACLU have entirely different missions. FedSoc's liberal competitor is, as you know, the ACS. You didn't cite them because they're smaller than FedSoc, and you wanted the comparison more convenient to your argument.

I'm also not alarmed by FedSoc (or ALEC or any of this stuff), but come on, make serious arguments.
One thing that I rarely see expressed clearly enough in these discussions is a breakdown of what /value/ someone brings to a group. We're always talking about whether or not you should hire the one best suited for a position, without going into what that actually means.

The obvious part of that is how skilled the applicant is at the task to be performed in that role. This is where the "hire the one best suited for the job" argument comes in, and usually where it stops. At least in the case of a group/organisation that will work together though there is the more hidden value of differing viewpoints. That, in itself, also has value. I think there's a clear argument to be made that the value in hiring, for example, a developer with weaker (though still "good enough") programming skills in many cases could be the better option when that developer is expected to bring additional value in differing viewpoints compared to a developer having stronger programming skills but otherwise fitting the norm in the industry/business. That is, for the weaker programmer, the sum of the contributed values might still be higher than for the stronger programmer.

I think, expressing the problem this way, and being clear about it, makes it easier to reason about. If the aspects taken into consideration were expressed in this way in a job application, I would probably be easier to accept for rejected applicants too, possibly both in the parent comment and in the article.

There is however the question of what, exactly, the motivation is for diverse hiring. I'd argue that in a healthy business, it should be what I outlined above; the team is, overall, expected to perform better with more diverse viewpoints. Although, I'd wager a guess that many times is more about the image of the business than actual performance. While the image is important, and of course will affect profit, it would probably be hard to justify, publicly, such hiring choices on those grounds.
This seems like a separate point, many people don't actually speak in plain language... so their "natural" way of writing is similarly inaccessible.
Well...what happens when company lawyers and lobbyist are the ones drafting regulations governing every human interaction with said company?
I've been hearing people say "VR is dead, AR has killed it" for the last 10 years straight, all while not knowing anyone using AR past novelty apps, all while enjoying the biggest year for VR. Every. Single. Year.

We don't publish the weight officially yet since we're not that far along the development cycle yet. Our target is 800g, but we need to find a good balance between battery life, thermal solution, and weight.
First time I read it I assumed it was a PC-gone-mad 'knob' of butter.
I agree, I love BTRFS and have used it for ages, including some small scale production systems. But I know it still has some edge cases as you mention, which made me wonder: what is the impediment to having those cases fixed? BTRFS has been around long enough and even has some decent commercial support from a few vendors, so it seems like we can't just discount it as "it's open source and nobody is motivated to fix those long tail problems." Is there some kind of design issue that makes them hard?
Is ENOSPC still included as one of those edge cases?
Yeah, that's what I meant by "morphing dependency management problem to a source control problem". With a monorepo dependency management is way easier! But, sometimes:

- git on large repo 100% pain 0% fun. hg is slightly better, but not much.

- No version means no prebuilt libraries, which translates to "you need a great build cache to keep build time reasonable".

- "passes all the tests everything is good" if only we can run all the tests on such changes.

- People hate coordinating on imported/pinned third-party dependency versions, sometimes you need tools for large-scale automated changes to make progress, but :(

- Similarly, not all places make all their codes accessible to all engineers.

i.e. source control problem is, sometimes, harder.
In my opinion, one of the easiest ways for writers to make things more readable is to not use synonyms for technical terms. If you are a researcher and you have referred to the "cell membrane", don't turn around and refer to that same thing as the "plasma membrane", "cytoplasmic membrane" or "phospholipid bilayer" later on in your article unless you have a damn good reason.
Revolving doors mean your company secrets and competitive edge getting gifted to others. Treat your employees well and respectful is always best company policy to adopt. Whistleblower and IP thief can bring company down very swiftly.

Wait, so I'm an ultra-introvert now? Are hermits super-duper-introverts? ;)

The article makes no mention of autism or ADHD, which probably are partially responsible for a sizable chunk of "ultra-introverts".
Oh yeah, from the consumer's point of view, fair. I'm talking about why _developers_ choose Steam. Valve makes it worthwhile for developers to fork out that 30%. Consumers, ultimately, have to go where the game is.
Well, I haven't thought about it that way. I was thinking banks and their >€30 fees for international wires.

I guess some people use it for the resistance to regulation (un-freeze-able accounts), others for speculation (like me).

Then again, with what is going on in Canada, I am starting to see the risk that the "trusted third party" betrays that trust.
Yes, but in a primitive setting all those babies would be your relatives, all those people making love would be your friends and family and all the people in your world.

You’d perceive it differently.

Just like they can introduce laws to help workers' social protection. Or safety measures. And yet they don't.
Am a huge fan of Risinger.

Early on, Risinger did a bunch "building science" explainer videos. Challenging then conventional building practices. Like advanced framing (using 2x6 studs at 24" spacing). Like properly insulate attics to prevent condensation and heat loss (keep HVAC vents within the thermal envelope).

Those early explainers are the foundation (harhar) of subsequent product and project highlights. Alas, now they're hard to find (via YouTube's lame UX). Risinger should probably pin primers to the top of his playlist, linking into his archive.

Replace Counter Strike with a single player FPS then.

"I don't need to implement wall blocking, the player should just refrain from walking through walls". It's not elegant, it's lazy.
Indeed, some database servers (Oracle IIRC) don't use a filesystem, but write to a filesystem partition directly.
I can almost see that being useful, but at the same time I'd be more curious about the current knowledge somebody possessed than stuff from back in the day. It's also a bit of an (accidental?) age-test.

It's like asking about Pamela Jones, from Groklaw, and her red dress. Fun trivia, but it tells you nothing about a person's current technical skills (or even their past ones!), just their ability to remember random names/facts, and excludes newer/younger staff.

Back then reiserfs was too new, and therefore not something I'd consider deploying to production systems. These days? Obsolete in practice. So I guess there would be many like me who have a vague memory that it was gonna be cool, with plugins and stuff, but who never actually used it or tried it.

(Maybe it's different if you're interviewing/grilling somebody for a very FS/Storage-heavy NAS-producing company, but there I'd expect conservatism to be highly appreciated?)

>> I could understand why people might wonder, though, whether a near-total retreat from daytime society would be motivated by more than just introversion. When does a desire for solitude cross into something unhealthy?

Vampirism?

I have a job where I often need to be at work before dawn. During the winter months I also leave work long after sunset. And, for security reasons, my office doesn't have windows. Mid-December I had to walk between buildings. I hadn't thought much about it but as soon as I stepped outside the sunlight was very powerful. The reflection off the snow made it doubly so. I then realized I hadn't seen sunlight in weeks. I half expected to catch fire like a Hollywood vampire.
Or perhaps there is more nuance to the problem, and you painting with such a broad brush is overly reductive?
'It depends on what you mean by "unfair".'

Can it be explained on the basis of value? If so, then good. If not, then it's likely unfair.

"It can also create resentment if others knew that someone was overpaid."

How can they be overpaid? The salary was set by the market. If the others are underpaid due to lagging the market, then they might just leave anyways. Their value has changed during their tenure and the company has not adequately adjusted for that to stay competitive in the market.
So the Quest 2 sold over 12million headsets in the last year. And over the last few years VR has seen a growth rate of over 20% YOY. I always wonder if when people like you make a comment if you actually look at figures or just go with your gut because you don't like something. I'm guessing the latter. The mass adoption is happening right under your nose, an entire generation of US kids are growing up with VR right now because of the perfect storm of lack of consoles, a pandemic keeping them home and widely available cheap hardware from Meta.
I think it's important that we draw a line in the sand about what is acceptable behaviour in society.

Protesting is a right.

Shutting down a city, while being fueled by disinformation networks controlled by foreign state actors, and being funded by foreign political interests, is a threat to national security.

The problem is that it is very difficult to pinpoint where to draw that line of distinction... but it is something we very much need to do, even if it is difficult.

Why banks can choose not do to business with due to one belief and yet freelancing business or bakers can't? Is there a double application of law doctrine that we need to know about?
BTW, I've found the BOBO VR M2 replacement strap for the Quest 2 to be a godsend for comfort. Just wish it had integrated headphones.
Rewrites for the sake of rewrites is a HN thing. This used to happen with other languages too. In 2015, Front page posts on a given day would have "xyz in Go" and it was JavaScript before that. People tend to reimplement systems they know in languages they are learning and it's perfectly alright.

But, these are engineers at huge companies rewriting core system components for dubious reasons AND writing a deliberately misleading blog post about it.

Now more engineers with an agenda would cite these posts to their managers and get their rewrites.

But it doesn't matter. All of the reasons in the world for how expensive it is don't make a difference to the result: it's still too expensive.
Costs must go down before they'll see the kind of units moving they need to fund development.

>Sure, and regulators would make them illegal under pre-existing KYC laws.

There is no such thing as KYC for exchanges that don't deal with fiat. In some cases, you don't even need to create an account at all.
This sort of occurred with pornhub. However users just migrated elsewhere. So the question is whether any heavy legislation is looming that might coerce all platforms to employ this type of screening, or if wackamole will pointlessly persist.
Institutions means more than courts...

Most Canadians I imagine live abroad for economic reasons. But that in itself is a failure of our institutions; an economy is a reflection of the set of rules created by the government.

Anyhow, some examples:

- Police, it's obvious they can't do their jobs. Between inability to clear protests, all our cities being taken over by crackheads, it's failed.

- Courts: basically catch and release. Murder regularly gets plead down to manslaughter with pathetic sentences

- Municipalities: make starting a physical business damn near impossible. Tons of red tape and random fees, then you get taxed to hell because homeowners can't possibly pay for their share...

- Healthcare: it's a joke. Worst of any country in our income bracket yet Canadians inexplicably think it's not shit.

- Bank of Canada: literally went out and said they're propping up house prices

- Feds: literally said they are bringing in immigrants to reduce wage inflation ie. Prevent wage growth. Trudeau senior capped wage increases for awhile while in power...

Tons more examples of failed institutions in this country...

So tell me, why don't you live in Canada?

You're getting downvoted, but you shouldn't be. Only SV salaries mean that 3k is a reasonable amount of money to take a gamble on a headset you haven't tried.

I also love Simula One and would love to get the 2nd or 3rd gen version, but at the moment it's simply too expensive because of the low manufacturing volumes. The price is bound to reduce if it becomes popular, and I'm counting on that.
It would be interesting to see information about what kind of maintenance it needs and how it performs in different weather conditions.
