This is super non-interesting.

But every jurisdiction has unique laws, company policies, release schedules, etc.

So, for every jurisdiction, you have unique official text.

The unique official text will always be available in the majority languages of the jurisdiction. The people who work in the jurisdiction speak it, and write in it, and can easily generate it.

Non-majority languages require translators. Hiring people. Workflows. Approvals, etc.

So it's easier to go off location, because then I know you're reading the right official text, and if you can't read the official text in the native language, it's on you to translate.

This gets harder the bigger the company, especially in cases where the "company" is a bunch of independent subsidiaries.
So you'd get me fired for my views, which by the way I extend to all nations regardless of race, but be totally welcoming to child abusers in your midst, because it's their culture? There's something very wrong with this fashionable double standard. And there's nothing hypothetical about my scenario, this has been playing out for decades in Europe and East Asia while legitimate concern from those who speak out is shallowly dismissed as xenophobia.

>fired from your job for being completely xenophobic.

Disapproving of very real cultural differences is not "xenophobia". Forcing women to cover themselves, limiting their independence, practicing arranged marriages and condoning physical abuse, my opposition to these practices stems from my western liberal ideals, not any sort of "phobia".

>I can't imagine how you view your middle eastern coworkers who you've decided hate women and shit?

That's because you are apparently unable to discern individuals from groups. A sane person can acknowledge that cultures have sets of typical practices/beliefs, but individuals may or may not share them.
> I wonder if this because they don’t want anyone discuss sovereignty when they might be planning their own invasion of Taiwan.

I doubt that, because we're talking about the Chinese internet. I'm sure the PRC government has been very careful to make sure that all voices there consistently deny Taiwan's sovereignty. IIRC, "little pinks" on it will go into outraged attack mode if anyone says anything (even outside of China) that even subtly implies otherwise.

My guess is this is a reflection of an official position against the Western led international order.
Juggling chainsaws is more impressive than hammers. But it’s all just juggling

The question you have to ask yourself is: Are you juggling for the sake of juggling or to make a good show for the crowd?

If your goal is the outcome, maybe don’t go into juggling bags of poo even though it’s more challenging than chainsaws because they keep changing shape.
Good points, honestly. I'll just add that I don't think down-ranking amounts to censorship, rather it seems a good compromise between that and Babel, in that a casual low-information browser won't see known misinformation as a top result, but a more engaged reader can still locate it down the page if they wish.
Most of the first CD's in the 80's were made straight from the masters engineered for Vinyl and Casette media. They sounded awful with absurdly excessive EQ in the 3-6KHz range. Non-technical people commented that they preferred Vinyl because they could "hear the Aluminum" in CD's.

This was eventually fixed and proper CD masters started to become common in the early 90's.

Another thing to consider is the natural aging of our ears. Even without abuse high frequency sensitivity degrades as we get older. Those 80's CD's probably don't sound as harsh to someone 40+ today as they did back then.
> Everything and anything to do with Russia should be currently banned if you have even a sliver of a moral compass. That's not cancel culture, that's having two eyes and a few braincells to go with them.

Eh, that is a prototypical example of cancel culture, and your suggestion of re-naming this activity to "having two eyes and a few braincells to go with them" is very insincere and unhelpful.
Interesting that you are so opposed to it. I like lists because it lets me follow topics without having to "follow" an individual, or just to have a subject-matter-focused feed without having to sort through the messy mishmash that is the main one.

In fact, I don't even look at the main feed. I only look at my lists.

I'm really interested in learning more about this. Does he have a website? I've sat down and run some numbers before and it definitely seems feasible, but that's just back-of-the-napkin estimation. I grew up on a farm, but of course we were fully mechanized.
>greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions functionally-connected to the primary olfactory cortex

>These mainly limbic brain imaging results may be the in vivo hallmarks of a degenerative spread of the disease via olfactory pathways

Does this indicate that the virus itself can spread directly from the nose to the brain via the cells of the olfactory nerve? Wild
Yes, it is definitely Dostoyevsky's fault that he didn't get up from his tomb and didn't oppose Putin.
it's honestly much simpler than this. Who took the decision of cancelling the course was just thinking they were doing the right and sensitive thing. This time we can be almost 100% certain that there were no politics or politicians involved. Just a dumb move by someone that clearly has no idea how things go
How exactly does moving into management "get around" this?
Alpine has had DNS issues since the very beginning, but I am surprised to read that it still has some.
Personally, I don't think this was a complete/valid test - Yandex could be censoring other things. The input test data primarily covered things that would fit a specific narrative, not one for the 'other side'. Has anyone done a more complete test?
I'm not sure about multiple cursors but for the large screen real estate problem some mice have a "precision" button that changes the DPI which can be leveraged. The intent is to make the DPI much lower while pressed (or toggled depending) but many allow you to set what DPI value you want it to use directly. This allows you to specify that the mouse will move say 4x as fast while you hold the precision button which is a lot less hand movement and coordination than switching over to another mouse.

Basically manual static acceleration for those that hate automatic smooth acceleration but want to occasional move fast easily.

Alternatively if you're lucky enough to have reasonably steady hands you'd be surprised what you can get used to as a default static speed. My multi-monitor setup is over 70 inches horizontally but I can get across it in a flick or still move pixel by pixel if I want.
I'm 55 and that is my current retirement plan in ten years. I can't imagine going from working full-time to not working at all. Just got to get kids through college first.
You realize all that is coming, right? Health insurance companies would love to adjust your premium on the fly when they see you buy a 6 pack at the store.

If he got into another major school (e.g., Yale or Princeton), the admissions folks or the school counselor may have decided that he was a better fit at one of those.

Good for him for getting into other elite schools.
Hey HN! I am a long time lurker on here, and I finally decided to contribute something.

Sorry for the blogspot link but I am just getting started with blogging(which I'll be doing as a past time and hobby) and hence do not really have my own domain and such set up to host my blog.

e: grammar
I think I just don't understand what to input to give the answer I want. I entered the typical minimum and maximum temperatures that I experience where I live now which is London, UK. Given that, I wouldn't expect the tool to tell me that the entire US has the same climate as London. I think it's because I'm used to a place where the extremes only last for a few days in each year and the rest of the time the temperature is pretty mild. Tolerating a 35°C day in the summer is not that hard when it only happens once every 5 years and you can go and drink cold drinks in the park.

I think it would be interesting to see the same map of the US but showing areas that never reach above or below the limits that you set.
I'll vouch for the Leaf too.

Drawbacks are: really hot climates will mess up the battery due to lack of active cooling. Really cold climates require the cold weather package for the battery warmer. Nissan doesn't really have a good story when the battery needs replacement - but maybe third party shops will by then.

If you do have QuickCharging, it uses ChaDeMo, which is dying. But it's still commonplace and will be for a while.

Other than that, I don't think about maintenance (maybe tire rotation and cabin filter?). No need to think when the next oil change is due. Registration renewal doesn't require a smog check. No OTA updates (both a blessing and a curse). It works as a normal vehicle for all intents and purposes, minus gas stations.
A site like this should use the heat index or the wet bulb temperature.

The reason is that 35 °C (95 °F) is fatal to humans within hours at 100% relative humidity, but relatively comfortable at 10% humidity for people who are drinking enough water and have sun protection.

My main complaint with Clarkson's Farm is that his approach to every problem was "which piece of equipment can we purchase to solve this?" Not very surprising if you know Jeremy Clarkson, I know.
I enjoyed the article, thanks.

> They were wearing silken robes in pale, iridescent colors, and every one of them looked just like him.

That made me laugh. Other than that it sounded more like a self-hypnosis script overall. I could see people using it to get better rest...maybe even navigate a really hard day. IMO it's OK to involve fantasy that really works on that awkward self-hate/self-love dichotomy.

I have been reading some of Palladium Books' RPGs from the era lately. They all have notices disclaiming the occult, loudly proclaiming they are just a game, etc.

Personally I was raised by religious fundamentalists who would rather let me buy GDW's Twilight:2000 and dream of nuclear combat than get into the dragon fantasy & magic stuff. And dad was very highly educated...it's weird to think about this now but I guess even Aum Shinrikyo had recruited a bunch of amazing Ph.D.s, doctors, etc.

The exception to the rule was if I was trying to get someone to go to church with me. Then I could play their dragon games all I wanted (the 'darkest' among my friends were more into GURPS though). My goal according to my parents was to make them feel accepted, then they'd give it all up and get involved in church!

I was later able to leverage this strange missionary-minded satanic-approval into the purchase of a bunch of Led Zeppelin cassette tapes, which warped me forever.

TTRPGs are still a lot of fun though. I mean just yesterday I was using [1] again, can hardly believe that amazing resource exists.

Hot take: Without massive Department of Defense spending we wouldn't be having a crisis in Ukraine today
Well you are ok with that picture being censored but many others aren’t. You’re proving my point, it’s impossible to please everyone. Everyone has different standards.

- Fury over Facebook 'Napalm girl' censorship (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37318031.amp).
No one thinks that the Russian people are collectively responsible for what's happening in Ukraine. If there were a way to target Putin, and Putin alone, then we'd do that. But it's impossible. So we use the blunt (and unfair) instrument of sanctions to try to make this painful for all Russians, in the hopes that doing so puts pressure on Putin to stop his invasion. It's not at all fair to ordinary Russians, but perhaps it's justified given the gravity of what's happening in Ukraine.
I don't think I have embraced it, in fact I try to find reasons to consider the opposite just to keep me feeling in a positive mood. There is nothing else you can do when you have no control over the outcome.

The reason I brought up the book is because the stories told by the OP bear a very close resemblance to stories told in the book.

>It seems to me that if you went around asking invasive questions like this at any time in the country’s history you could have expected some subset of the population to react in the way that OP described.

Well yes, statistically this is more likely as the population increases. I also feel that people circumstances will contribute to their behavior. If they have felt betrayed by a government that has failed them in the past or they internally believe that the system does not work for them then these responses are to be expected.

>If fact, given that the census conducts door-to-door interviews when people have not already voluntarily submitted the census form, it is to be expected that a good percentage of people interviewed just don’t want to answer the questions, and probably feel hostile towards the idea of cooperating with the census. That doesn’t mean that the society as a whole is hostile towards the census. There’s an overwhelming selection bias at play here.

Fair enough. I don't have enough data to prove/disprove this conclusively.
I honestly have no idea how the heck grid works haha. Maybe someone else can chime in.

The MVP site took >1 second to rerender when you dragged the slider. I got it down to a few dozen ms, which makes it a lot more fun to use. Pretty proud of that :)
Yep, European is a step up from American for sure. Still not as good as Japanese ones IMO.
I've done that for paired programming, it was a decade ago, but IIRC Xorg made it pretty easy to set up. That said...do not recommend :). It's too jarring.
True, but one important caveat: modern road and e bikes are hard to work on. Some hybrids, too, though hydraulics aren’t crazy to maintain yourself.

There are manufacturers out there, like Surly and Rivendell, who still make bikes that are easy to maintain yourself. Touring bikes are usually a good bet. Mountain bikes and gravel bikes from 5 years ago, too, but top-of-the line models used for competitions in both sports are increasingly moving toward tomfoolery like electronic shifters.
A human is less likely to mistake a garbage can for an oncoming car and then make the choice to run me over out of self preservation, though.

Comparing a car programmed for self preservation versus a human seeking their self preservation only really makes sense if the car and human are both equally capable of assessing threats.

At the moment I don't think cars are at the same level. Maybe I'm wrong. Humans are fallible too of course.
Even situations like Seinfeld. Netflix altered the aspect ratio by cropping the image, and it really does effect the show. And there's no option to change it.
> Or a car that requires me to use a big touchscreen while driving.

That's Tesla and Tesla copycats. Most EVs are not like that.

> A car that requires a subscription or an account to use all of its features

Bunch of ICE vehicles have this sort of thing now.
they confirmed the course telling the "professor" (he's actually a writer) that he needed to talk also about Ukranian literature and authors. After this, he decided to simply held his course somewhere else
Getting rid of any and all ties with a country that is starting aggression in Europe not seen here in 70 years, is cancel culture? Because if yes, then sure, I love cancel culture. We should cancel culture the crap out of Russia, including their cat beauty contests.

> pushed the housing crisis into more housing markets.

FWIW I prefer density but isn’t this good? The reality of yesterday was too few zip codes with too much demand and not enough good will to increase supply.

Instead we now have a lot more zip codes that can make decentralized decisions about building more housing. Hopefully they vote for more development and use it as a way to stimulate jobs in their local construction industry.

How can this be a bad thing?
I totally missed the month-by-month drop down. That helps, a lot, thanks.

Sorry for the overly critical tone of my comment, BTW. Sometimes the internet makes it hard for me to remember that real people work on stuff and are reading what you're saying about it.
Is murex open source? A quick search of murex shell presented me with beautiful seashells.
How so? Do you think anonymity shouldn't be allowed online?

Can you link to your LinkedIn or other personally identifiable information?

What's your solution to what's going on in Ukraine? Why should Ukrainians suffer and die while Russian citizens are free to live a life of peace?
Could you give a couple of examples of the black holing you've seen?
Dorothy Sayers is a treasure and it's wonderful to see her rediscovered in several circles recently.
I won't claim to have the degree of technical expertise to authoritatively comment on the actual implications of his comment.

What I often find most valuable from these kinds of comments is the fact that these risks were acknowledged and either accounted for in the original specs, even if in a flawed manner, or explicitly discounted as being out of scope.

What I take away from the comment on the article is that from a security perspective "we're not there yet" even if the cryptocurrency technology is useful, widely adopted, and frankly not going away.

I don't think his issue is that cryptocurrency exists, or is being used widely on the world-wide web, but rather that underlying technologies (DNS/HTTPS/PKI) are being taken for granted and used in a manner that they weren't originally designed for.
Same with cold I would take dry non windy -10F over humid windy 30F any day.
> we're not so much looking for contractors/freelancers to work on specific projects, but for an experienced senior engineer

It may not have been intended like this, but an 'experienced senior engineer' can also be a 'freelancer/contractor'. The post doesn't make it sound like that.

You want someone to be part of a 'team' - that'll totally be up to how you interact with someone, not their tax/corp status. If you want to be paying someone senior to help on multiple projects, advise on broader topics, etc., by all means get that. But if the person doesn't want to be in a W2 relationship with you, do you pass them over because of that?
Monkey Dust is criminally underrated.
> I wish you would just be honest and say you are trying to assist people in _gambling_

I have to apologize if we are putting off a message (that I'm not aware of*) that we assist with gambling. Long term investing is not meant to be gambling, and that's the entire point of our platform, to educate people/having them think that stocks aren't just lottery tickets you buy when someone at the bar says "it's going to the moon"

I understand this space in general has trust issues, I understand that a lot of people are burned/on their heels for this space, I get it, that's why we are here building this. On our side we never promise returns, or sell this as a tool that will make you rich, we advertise this as a way for people to gain fair access to market data with tools the pros use, embedded with education that makes it accessible for anyone to learn. We have no skin in the game for how people invest/trade but hope to influence less "gambly" decisions through our platform.

> The world would be infinitely better off without the services you are trying to provide.

I am getting a sense that you will be saying this blindly to any app you see that comes around, and I don't blame you, it's an unfair world out there with a lot of shady people trying to make a quick buck. If you look at companies core fundamentals, investing is not gambling. Investing is understanding a business and industry and forecasting when there's a margin of safety of that companies future growth, relative to it's current trading price and reported financials/leadership/company earnings communications/all that (it's not simple and takes time to learn! We make that process easier.). It's an entire world. If you ever change your mindset here to be more open minded that not everyone is out to get you, I'm sure Stock Unlock will show that we are different. If you have more constructive feedback I'd love to continue this conversation, if not I appreciate your time and comments here.
I've been running Linux on a 5550 for about six months now, and the hardware is rock solid.

Everything works fine. I've experienced no overheating, network is stable, all the USB bits work, it docks and undocks without issue, the web cam works, audio works, it sleeps, hibernates and wakes up fine. Fans aren't very loud and I've only ever heard them spin up when compiling (I would say the full speed fans on the 5550 are about as loud as full speed fans on a 2016 Macbook Pro). The large touchpad works well enough. The 4k screen is OK, and matte, which I consider a bonus. The keyboard is average, certainly not the worst laptop keyboard I've ever used, but far from the best.

However, I wouldn't buy one for myself. Simply because of how flexible it is. It is nearly unusable when sat on anything but a hard flat surface. It's like the designers never even tested it as a LAPtop. Tiny, imperceptible flexes, or even just more pressure on one side than the other and the touchpad generates clicks.

Also, a USB-A port would have been way more useful than an SD-card slot.
Feel free to use my link to see more business laptops with Linux. There's 7 on my link and they are all configurable.
I think there are likely ways to weaken IP law that solve this problem and since I generally tend toward reducing complexity and already want to weaken IP law for a host of other reasons I prefer that approach.
> Without it, you have an expensive toy unless you are just going to potter around town on short trips.

While it's a massive advantage for Tesla, that's a bit too harsh and highly dependent on where you live.

Note that over 90% of all trips even in the US are well within the range of modern EVs.
Ugh...as usual a combination of Capitalism and lack of proper regulation is turning car ownership into permanent car renting.
and yet…
This, for what it's worth, is much more annoying to me than a bit of conversational flow.

"Vaguebugging" is such a useful word that it is now noted for future use.
You genuinely believe that this guy is passionate about his tracking software and is just eager to share?
I'll throw my experience with Linux on Dell's in the ring. I have a 13" Dell Inspiron 7000 (i7 8GB ram). I've had it for 4 years or so. In terms of drivers and overall compatibility with Linux, it's been perfect. I install Xubuntu (have also used Mate), it downloads whatever it needs, and everything works. I can't recall a single instance of something crashing, or WIFI problems, or whatever.

There are two downsides. One, battery life sucks. Relative to a Macbook, it's very bad. But, this isn't a surprise to most people. Second, the touchpad driver is shit. Oh man, does it suck. Palm rejection doesn't work, and I had to enable a setting which disables the trackpad for a few seconds after a key press. Otherwise, it's unusable. That part, is irritating.

Those downsides don't really matter to me, because I'm plugged in and docked the majority of the time. I've considered looking into the touchpad issue more, but it's just not worth my effort atm. Otherwise, it's a great machine!
There are a lot of tools that simply can't run distroless and adding in all the requirements is often tedious with little reward.
