Allegedly, one major reason is that Apple has been successfully pressured by Greenpeace to remove PVC from their cables, causing them to be more brittle and fail sooner. https://fee.org/articles/this-is-the-real-reason-your-iphone... is one source, but Apple and Greenpeace themselves tout this "achievement". It seems to me to be just like replacing nuclear power with coal and natural gas power: another casualty of ideological extremism at the expense of the actual environment.
I learned to snowboard in my 20s as an expert skier, and the only reason that I did it was that I had moved to California and so was skiing with a bunch of beginners, so being a beginner with them was a lot more enjoyable. Once they got good enough to ski blacks, I put away my board and haven't taken it out since.
More than that: they would be automatically protected from any inquiry about changes of their physical or behavioural aspects (or lack thereof). How do you "measure" objectively if a person is "non-binary"?
Maybe that's it. You know the runs, and you have the expectation of being good. But on a board, it's like physics are no longer the same.
Good question. Anyone have an answer? I’ve just assumed (hoped?) they don’t rent/sell their customer info, but have absolutely no facts to back that up.

If something were actually bipartisan, surely it would be over the filibuster threshold?
A good helmet should prevent or at least mitigate any concussion from a beginner type of fall. Do you ride a bike? I would worry much more about clocking my head on a curb even with a helment.
I don't think there is any trade happening and some contributors might be Russian. I don't see how any state could claim ownership. So on what basis would these supposed sanction operate?

Another topic is support contracts which could be prohibited but luckily open source is not too vulnerable against day to day politics. Lawfare could do damage, but also to the country hosting open source solutions. And that is pretty great.
To edit my first post, Democrats have been calling bloody murder against the Russians for how long? Russians are who took Snowden, Russians are the ones who hacked the DNC to reveal Clinton. Democrats assert Trump is controlled by Russia. It seemed all so farfetched.

The moment Putin crossed border into the Ukraine... Putin is the aggressor here. ok well I'm listening to the democrats suddenly.

As a Canadian, boy am I ever uncomfortable finding myself seemingly at odds against the USA.

I sure hope the republicans can open discussion with the democrats over this.
The old Gnu[0] tagline which was printed on their boards was also a succinct gem:

Does OP directly say that? Comments like this show exactly the kind of racism white males are coming up against. They're assumed to have privilege and access to ivy league networks.

You directly say with no info except that the OPs friend is white that he probably coasted by most of his life. Seems like you're the one slinging racist stereotypes.

OP was sharing an anecdote of his friend's experience of an unlevel playing field. Your response is to undermine that concern based on race! Ironic, no?
We have a good number of contemporary mosaics installed in subway stations in NYC. Here's a recent (2021) one by artist Nick Cave: https://new.mta.info/agency/arts-design/collection/each-one-...
I want to focus on the social power this individual had, and to remind everyone that interested people are interesting

The reason that you're friend was so magnetic was because they could look at an old tattered map, be entertained for an hour, and be open to sharing that experience with those around them.
I definitely prefer Slack over IRC for internal communication.

But I've also kind of come to hate live chat for internal communication entirely...but email isn't a great alternative either. I'm beginning to think there are just irreducible complexities to human communication that make every platform non-ideal, and the best thing to do is to just set and manage expectations properly as a team and as individuals.
You can get autocomplete for Java methods in Cider (Emacs) and probably Cursive (Intellij) afaik. Type checking in intro code can be a bit difficult, but REPL/live development really helps. You are going to catch mismatched type at first call, so you can usually get there by reading the Javadoc, but it does take some practice. Most Clojure code also works with Java through the smallest interface possible at the edge of your system, so it is very rare to have to deal with those issues in your "main" code.
How-er
You can't be serious are you? In a discussion about the history of Japan Korea and China, arguing that China was “the bad guy”?!

That being said, history is a poor proxy for future behavior: Japan is really unlikely to ever resume its aggressive expansionist policy, and it's not because China doesn't have a terrible track record of neighbors invasion that it will not start in this century. But that doesn't really excuse rewriting history…
Login just to agree with this. I've been a chronic insomniac for almost 3 years, it happened not long after I started tracking my sleep and read Matthew's book.
The instruction sets are the remaining lines, formatted like >C.I:WMN
C current instruction name.
I the input from the current tape position. Either 0 or 1. Each instruction has
execution parameters for both inputs.
W the output to be written to the tape at the current position. Either 0 or 1.
M the movement of the read/write head. A 0 moves the head one position to the
left. A 1 moves it to the right.
N the name of the next instruction to be executed at the new tape position.

Would it have been clearer to use "<" or ">" to specify whether to move left/right from the current position?
Slack being down is so detrimental… it’s crazy.

I’ve almost forgotten how to send my coworkers email. It blows my mind how much we are so reliant on a few tools to carry out so much work.
A sampling of Down Detector comments on https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ (which is also showing a spike right now, with no indication of an actual AWS outage I'm aware of):

> Was the internet and #AWS recently hacked? Seems like a lot of softwares are not working properly

> That’s so odd. Wi-Fi is out for me too. AWS outage?

> Another problem which definitely doesn’t make sense why server itself gone wild and not responsive to ssh. We will keep investigating this but it can be aws virtualization issues but interesting.

Slack has to do a little more due dilligence than "wifi's down, must be AWS" for their status page.
I assume a joke here haha -- no way are any of these companies pay another to hold them ACTUALLY responsible for their outage %. They would MUCH rather just lie.
> Do not bother with official status pages.

You should. If the status page is also down, you know it's going to take a while ;-)
Considering what moons did to the quality of discussion on various crypto subreddits, I think it is fair to say that this is a really bad idea, no matter what side of the crypto debate you stand on. At least if you appreciate HN discussions.
Those dirt-cheap HDMI capture cards are surprisingly useful.

How good are they with respecting content protection flags?

I've thought about getting one for a weekend project, but very occasionally my AppleTV lies to me that it can't play my own home videos because my TV doesn't support DRM. So I'm uneasy about buying a piece of gear only to find out later that it's flaky in the same way.
To my knowledge, there's one company making cut nails for woodworking[0] in the US. The pricing might be somewhat distorted by the fact that they're a specialty item rather than the commodity that wire nails are.

Blacksmith forged nails are still available (if you know a blacksmith, not at your local hardware store). They're likewise a specialty item.

Incidentally, the surname Naylor was once an occupational surname for a person who made nails.

[0] AIUI, masonry nails are more likely to be cut nails, but they're hardened, so they aren't really interchangeable for woodworking.
Looks like github is down, and aws is having issues, too.

> the term racism, in the academic context, always refers to power dynamics that flow out of white supremacy

Pretty typical for Americans to make themselves the center of the definition of a basic term.

Just because some academics redefine a term, doesn't make someone else's argument invalid.
Considering that the US basically became the leading edge of manufacturing technology at that time, it makes sense.
The printer-friendly versions of the articles look so much better than the web versions. If you have JS disabled and click on the web version of the article it literally doesn't load. I guess the positive takeaway is that it does have printer-friendly versions. Some good recipe sites do as well which gets rid of all the cruft.
> There's nothing else to it.

Your response seems too generalized as if it relates to everyone. Let me disagree.

I myself can be considered that kind of genius OP is talking about, at least in my earlier days.
First 15 years of my career I've never had any (ANY) savings, and most of the time had some amount of debt. But I always felt simple enough to walk away from any situation I don't want to be in and was ready to live in any condition. But I always loved my job, always was super-curious and eager to learn, and employers were always looking for me not the other way around.

I can say that OP is right, at least for some subset of people.
I can hardly blame Instagram PMs for pushing this change. Their main competitor is TikTok with average daily viewing times of 40+ mins per day (reported 24hrs/month as of Sept 2021). Internally, Instagram PMs have surely been tasked with matching this. Changing the minimum daily time limit was probably the easiest A/B test any PM has ever run.

As a society we should ask ourselves, how do we realign incentives such that social media companies aren't motivated to maximize engagement time? I don't think blanket bans or regulations on viewing time is the answer (that's not what the average user wants). My hunch is that we need to change the relationship between viewing time and value (advertising).

P.S. - perhaps I'm just out of touch and there is no total engagement time problem. Perhaps social media is just as valuable as any media before it. Nobody is argument that we should limit total daily time spent reading books, listening to music or watching Netflix.
I will be editing this on an on-going basis.

To my understanding:

1. Russia declared two regions of a whole country--Ukraine--sovereign.

2. Russia is moving its troops into those regions on the premise that the citizens of these Ukraine regions seek sovereignty.

3. Sovereignty is valid only if other countries recognize it.

4. Russia recognizes these regions as sovereign.

5. All countries who are not Russia--or at least members of NATO--recognize Ukraine. Borrowing from regex, let's refer to the latter group as `NATO+`.
I’ve been getting annoyed with Pokémon arceus’s dialogue and this article gives a nice bit of structure as to why:

1. The cost is very high. There is tons and tons of pointless dialogue you’d need to slog through to get to any good bits.

2. The UI is slow and requires tapping a after ~2 lines of text, so an entire conversation ends up being 10+ button presses.

3. All of the text is provided in generic chat bubbles with no interesting/unique/personal touches. The only personal touches are pokemon’s made up noises which should be sounds.

Compare this to a game like Skyrim, where you find handwritten letters, old books, etc

Edit - I feel the need to communicate that the game is incredibly fun and definitely worth playing! The annoying dialogue is hugely outweighed by the great gameplay mechanics.
As easy as making Facebook clone. Good luck with getting people to use it.
Russian cyber attacks starting?
You're touching on something here. I think real insecurity can be a motivating, albeit stressful, factor particularly in young adulthood (you have lots to gain and less to lose for taking risks) but once you've really experienced it it stays with you. That can lead to conservative, safe choices to avoid unknowns. For those like this it's easy to see why they project that a promise of security would enable them to behave differently, even if it may be irrational.

What stands out searching my memories at that young age is there was little cognizance or care about national/international issues, let alone survival. There was nothing particularly special about what I did with my time (some of it was creative, mostly not), but I was de-facto optimistic about my future. I may have had immediate concerns and worries (I was often lonely too), but they passed. Until they didn't. And I became sufficiently aware for social anxiety and fear of failure to take hold, alongside bad coping habits. Today I have stability, but learned conservative behavior. I have to be conscious about trying to shake things up now and then.

SAAS / outsourcing has ruined organisation self-responsibility, but the MBA said it was a good idea, and the ill-informed CEO just followed.
I don't think it's cheating at all. These editors not only copy edit, but also engage with your work. It's a fantastic service that reduces time and increases quality - what's not to like?

However, when two Ph.D graduates are going up for a job, and the Harvard candidate has an additional paper or ten on the same or less effort, he has a leg up on the job market, and this may obscure the best researcher for the job. The committee is often not taking institutional inequities in account when looking for the best candidate.

While science is not a competition, the academic market for jobs has devolved into one.
This option is dead for most of us because of Slack Connect (which allows cross-tenant communication, such as from x.slack.com to y.slack.com).

I now have 5-10 other organizations connected to any one of my Slack tenants, and now we're just stuck in Slack's ecosystem.
Maybe give it some more time…? If they still refuse to help you I would get in touch with a lawyer.
Furthering this - before heading up to any slope as a beginner you should be tracking the conditions for at least the week prior. Has it snowed? Has it rained? Did it rain and then go down to -15F?

Knowing that they got 2" the day before you go up is nice but not indicative of what you'll find when you get there, especially on a busy mountain where fresh powder and courdory get skiied off very quickly. You don't want to learn on boiler plate!
Is it just me, or can anyone else also not find the cost of the service beyond the 34 day trial? None of the links from the front page seem to lead to the cost..

Not having the price up-front makes me nervous about signing up for it.

IRC has existed for over 30 years and was widely popular for the big part of that timespan. Yet no one ever made it into or extended it into a realistic competitor to the modern wall garden proprietary chat platforms.

Is there a fundamental issue with IRC that precludes that? Did no one just bother? Is it the specific mentality among its core users that "absence of certain features in IRC considered a feature" that lead to its demise?
Renaming old FDOS to FOLD or something of the sort, backing up everything else and installing over... is a method that'd work.

But I sure hope is not the official upgrade method.

It certainly requires a different development model and doesn't fit every game (though I would say it's more about being "cinematic" than "story-driven", there are plenty of Early Access visual novels). There are also a lot of games that get stuck in perpetual feature creep for years without really moving forward. But I think the fact that we see so many failures is more because the failures are more visible, not because early access fails more often. Lots of games get cancelled somewhere between idea and release, for the bigger studios many more than get released, but unless it happens in the last year or so of the development cycle you never hear about them. With early access all these failures suddenly become visible

It’s a bit strange to hear antidepressants called “addictive”. It’s true that some SSRIs, for some people, need to be tapered off before stopping (though I think in some cases this is overblown), but they are not habit-forming in the sense that, say, smoking is.

Anecdotally, I’ve gone off Zoloft after years of daily use without any side effects more seriously than temporarily being a little mopey.

As for benefit … we’ll, in raw numbers plenty of people see some benefit. Given the low side effect profile they’re worth trying as a first line of defense for therapy-resistant anxiety and depression. Particularly severe depression may require interventions such as ECT, but for mild to moderate cases a combination of an SSRI and CBT is often pretty effective.
If you've got shares, you can either hold them or find a private buyer. Often a private company will have first-right-of-refusal but would have to match a private buyer's price.

Since you're using the words exercise and vested, maybe you have vested options in which case the policy (by law depending on jurisdiction) should tell you how long you have to buy your shares, how the price is determined and when the company has to respond with the strike price. IANAL but giving you 90 days to exercise your options and waiting 91 days to tell you how seems illegal in several ways.
I dont think so. I'd think Echo chambers are created by lack of diversity in the user base. I think HN has a lot of actual diversity, and its possible to see controversial topics disputed without unceremonial downvoting.
that has also been my recent experience. works best for large services like discord and twitter which are recent examples for me.
I was happy and a high performer. Now I'm miserable and a low performer. I think it's bidirectional. Being happy helps make people like you and makes you like your job more, so your rating increases more easily. Having a good rating and being respected in your field helps make you happy. If you're getting crushed at your job, you'll likely be unhappy.
Caveat emptor. If I have no data, I'll assume the 'real' data is bad, and live in my bubble of choice until you prove me wrong.

What I've done to combat this is helped lead a local historical organization, that way I get human interaction every week at least.

What might work for you is to set up a meetup/casual thing where someone gives a presentation on a technology people are mildly interested in, like Tailwind or somesuch. If there's demand for that kind of casual interaction (and I don't doubt there is), people will be falling over themselves to help you.

Personally I really like the work/casual divide in my socialization, where my social interaction and work aren't welded together, where work issues can't pollute your friendships and vice versa. This is especially good if you work at a place that appreciates your work but is very different culturally than you. I worked at an oil/gas company for several years, and while I liked some of the formal processes they had, I'm of a profoundly different culture than they are, despite looking like them.

With your social network and work network split off like this, you'll be much more flexible in both.

Good luck!
It is difficult.

That having been said, it's a difficulty universities are already familiar with because they have to evaluate students in this fashion to determine who gets needs-based scholarships.

(Anecdotally, during my university years I lost one of my needs-based scholarships because my parents' income spiked. Of course, that income was from one of them getting a severance package upon termination...)
The end result of Cyberpunk is that the world is bland. The city is empty and lifeless, the AI that is there, is really brain-dead. We are not in the PS1 era of open world games, where pioneers in the genre were happy to just have a few people and cars on the street. In 2020, this is some of the worst open-world implementation in recent AAA game development.
Squallywood the one time I was there seemed to either be completely boring or completely gnarly, not much in between. Much preferred Alpine Meadows. And Homewood has some stupendous views and would be beginner friendly.
Very comprehensive, thank you!
I wouldn't say that the community provides the content. Some of it, yes, but anyone can provide content, be they passerby, lurker, or indeed part of the community. But generally, the lurkers vastly outnumber the participants. Therefore, the actual community has very little power in the face of the faceless and voiceless masses. hn is a pretty niche site, all things considered. Given a surge in popularity, an influx of new lurkers, you might see the type of link being upvoted change over night. Your voice is powerless, the vote decides everything, and the lurkers have 90% of the votes.
