Bin packing (loading transport, scheduling), min/max of a function, least steps, least travel. One of the big applications of early computers were in ballistics tables and cut and fill for road and rail lines. Another being scheduling (classes, specialized staff, etc).

Doctor and nurse who work in the same hospital and have basically the same commute buy the same car. Doctor might bump someone in rush hour gridlock. Nurse is gonna nail a deer at 60mph at 4am. Doctor is gonna park it in the garage. Nurse's car is gonna get hit on the street. Doctor is gonna rent the Home Depot truck. Nurse is gonna bust the windshield trying to get a pipe in there. Etc. etc. There's tons of situational factors that make it so wealthier people can afford to be way easier on their possessions.

I agree that it's not what's intended for ACP. But lots of companies use it and don't bother to educate their employees on the rules of what constitutes appropriate usage of ACP tagging.
People that were too young or not alive yet in the 1990's might not understand that most conservative Republican party dynamics really started with Clinton administration, and that Albright has been (and will continue to be, in death) subject to the same well-funded character attacks. She was a historic and effective SoS in a complicated time in the world, and a reduction to sound bites is just a disservice to her and history.
Oh yeah I was getting filmed talking to a book dealer who sold his books on the sidewalk. Nine days ago. Just some asshole staring at us and filming with what looked like a digital photographic photo camera, it was small. I went up to him and asked him what the fuck, he said "oh haha nothing nothing I wasn't filming" while you could see filming on his screen.

That's what you get for making billions of video cameras, they actually get used sometimes. They're little black holes, light cannot escape them.
This is all true, but beside the point.

The purpose of credit scores is to predict outcome, not measure the effort or intentions of people to overcome their personal situation.
I know that a consumptionist attitude is popular these days, but as a user of something like Spotify I would surely prefer as much as possible of my monetary contribution ending up with Spotify and the musicians instead of in the hands of a company controlling the market place.

To the people who think the exorbitant fees are okay: Imagine a world with no cash. Now the payment card companies decide they want 30% of all transactions. You think that would be reasonable?

The only reason the phone OS companies get away with it is lack of real competition. The regulatory environment is very slow in catching up - it's not more than a few years ago that the EU finally hit the payment card companies.

And yes, the EU also has something to say when it comes to dark subscription cancelling patterns.
This. I had kids in my early 20s. It’s great because I still have a connection with them even though two are adults.

Kids from much older parents (40+) are also almost completely weird.

Personally, I might be biased by my personal friendship with Kosovar Muslims, but I view the NATO interventions in Kosovo as a pretty unambiguously good thing. No idea whether this sentiment will be popular here. They ended a genocide and acted within clear guidelines with international unity.
Dumpster diving is positive in that it reduces waste of real resources. If I dumpster-dive a meal then as a species we're better off on net than if I'd bought the same thing.

This is the opposite, in that we are as a species probably less well off, but its not really any more destructive than other forms of astroturfing (marketers and robots pretending to be real people).
It's a common and rational response, but my philosophy tends to be slightly different:

If the world becomes the kind of place where those preparations are necessary, it's no longer the kind of world that I'd like to exist in. Buying from fear-mongers is only going to hasten the onset of a world like that, so I'm going to try to relax, have a bit of fun, and enjoy myself while taking care of others as best possible (which in my case, isn't always particularly well).

(I'm hyperfocused on the conflict too, although I guess our responses to the situation are different)

Perhaps you might want your spotify account be able to operate independantly from google? I see similarities to google SSO. For some people, being able not remember more credentials is worth giving google more power over your life, for others google SSO is a non-starter and the would much rather make a seperate account with different credentials.

Some people would rather use single use virtual credut card numbers than rely on google to let them cancel when and how they want.

This may not be the kind of approach you are wanting, but: Do you have to move? Can you give it more time? The list is written like the move is quite a perceptual burden, and this is not to mention the actual incoming implementation-level pain.

I'd at least want to know how long you have to make the decision, since the known factors you've listed A) are definitely known to you and B) aren't making enough difference to you, which often leaves blocks in the C) zone of emotions or other fuzzy perceptions which generally need time to clear. When those are resolved they usually provide a feeling more akin to specific encouragement or even something like permission / luck / definite answers / etc.

Just some thoughts, hope it works out well no matter where you end up.

There's a simple formula for deciding on Blockchain...

Does your platform have user created content? If so, you will need a delete operation.

Is the technology you use capable of permanent and complete removal of user data? If the blockchain is only for payments, then maybe it is admissable, but there are still further considerations.

This whole thing just stinks of web3 BS and another victim of the cult therein.
This seems to be the same age-old problem of construction automation. A system that can really deliver for solar farms could be adapted for many other construction types, at least in principle. Since the world has largely failed to automate construction, and not for lack of trying, you really have to wonder if a startup could really disrupt the field, and I say that as an automation engineer.

The Construction Physics blog is mandatory lecture on this subject. You will find the many and varied ways huge companies failed at automating construction, and why construction is just different than other fields:

This is a really cool concept. Reminds me of the old(er) days when the web was a bit quieter and there wasn't an entire apparatus designed to steal your attention and focus.

This seems like a really good way to do research as well: people offering information without the expectation of getting paid for it.
Neither of your links contain an actual correlation measure, or links to actual source data. To even call them "articles" is a stretch, they appear to essentially be ads / link magnets (which as a category have an obvious bias).

Second, I'll throw some things out there, though, apart from what's already been said (like health and travel):
- Invest in therapy, if you haven't already. Learn your blind spots, your rackets, and your stories that hold you back.

- Make new friends with younger people, whether it's via mentorship or some other means. If you don't, you'll be an "out of touch boomer" before you know it.

Unlike my 20s, I feel like I navigated my 30s pretty well, so I don't have a lot of things I wish I had done/known that I didn't already. I think that's really the difference as you get older...you developer fewer new regrets.
Yes, and it took what? 6 months? And guess who was not Secretary of State at the time?
I'm not the OP you're replying to, but if I may interject my own two cents:
Climbing doesn't have to be a massive route on a 50ft wall. I don't enjoy bouldering, but it's great because it's a full body movement that trains both strength and flexibility. One thing I really love about climbing is the focus- you can't think about Slack notifications while dangling on a wall, the clarity of thought and just being in the present moment is second only to skydiving in my experience. Meditation works as well, but I enjoy the physical aspect.

Even just a few V0 / beginner problems get the blood flowing :)
Learn who you are.

People matter, even if you're an introvert. Make friends. Don't be a jerk to people.

How you dress matters, even if you think it doesn't (or shouldn't). You don't have to "dress to impress", but don't look like a slob.

Develop empathy. Don't be so focused on getting your code to work, or your hobbies, or whatever, that you don't notice when people are in pain.
This is correct. Plus they last for generations ... try that with a coated nonstick pan.

What we need are not better bikes, but better bike lanes.

I mean what I want from my bike is cycle paths, car free paved areas that travel from my house to my kids school and local amenities so my kids have some degree of freedom with a constant fear of death.

I honestly don't care how fast a bike can go - the limits to the speed are basically risk aversion by the rider. Years ago I upgraded my commuter cycle from a fat tyred mountain bike to a decent road bike and the very next day I added 5mph to my time on a flat stretch in North London. My total commute time barely budged because although I convert power to speed, I was unwilling to weave through traffic to take advantage of it.

Hence, what we need are not better bikes, but better bike lanes.
Max power output indeed is not the most important consideration for most riders. However I do feel the need to point out how recumbents optimize for other things too.

On most recumbents, the gaze is naturally forward with no bending the neck. And legs forward with low center of gravity feels like a good position when headed for a crash.
I learned from your comment that Lambda School fell apart a couple months ago. And I'm a pretty regular HN reader. Pretty interesting in the context of the founder being super active on social media. The denouement is always quieter I guess.
Knowing that people have died, she gave her personal opinion that she personally supported it[0].

That's a large part of the reason why she's disliked. It's because she advocates for genocide. If you replace "Iraqis" with "Jews" and have someone say that the deaths of half a million Jewish children is "worth it" nobody will be in this comment section trying to talk about honoring the deceased or suggesting everyone has good and bad sides.

I think you mean tylenol / acetaminophen (maybe aspirin is bad too?)

Even if you can find a younger mate, you'll want to participate in your kid's lives and that's much harder as an old man. If your kids are teenagers and you're in your sixties, I imagine it can be tough; and if they make the same choices as you, living to see grandchildren is unlikely
Apple could make easy in-app service cancellation a requirement for store approval.

This does not solve the problem of users needing to provide their CC info to additional payment providers, but it at least solves the problem of dark patterns being used to keep users from unsubscribing.
Be honest about what you really value in your life and don’t let ego and status and expectations drive your decisions. Evaluate how you truly enjoy spending your time and work to create a life that lets you do as much of that as possible.
Maybe we need more "Speakings", as described by Orson Scott Card in his book, "Speaker for the Dead".

I've had a Synology raid for a few years but I'm completely baffled by it. There seem to be three options for everything (Photo Station, Moments, Photos. Similar situation for video). Nothing ever seems to work and it's very slow. It's never clear exactly where you're supposed to put your files either. Constantly doing security updates isn't very reassuring either. I feel like I'm going to get hit with ransomeware all the time.
London, Munich, and Frankfurt (source: I have).

In Berlin, quite a 'cheap' city for tech wages in Europe --you'll probably 'only' get around 100/hour unless it's finance related or funded, but that's still like 800 if you work standard days, which isn't too far off.

You'll get creamed on tax though.
We have a large team of devs who didn't have Netlify accounts. They couldn't log in to see build logs, change configs, or anything else. Aside from seeing the deploy preview URLs, they wouldn't even know that we used Netlify to deploy our static sites. We were paying ~$120/mo for three accounts for managers, bandwidth, and extra build minutes.

Then we get an email saying that because we have 20 devs who commit to our private repo of the site we deploy, we need to pay for 20 member accounts. Each member account is $99/mo. So, because they started reading our git commits to count authors, our monthly bill was going to go from $120 to over $2,000 (way more than what we pay for all of Google Cloud).
It’s interesting to read that so many systems and activities are dependent on a single point of failure : the main primary MySQL node at GitHub.
I used to use ADSB Exchange in a similar fashion, but there's no longer a free feed unless you contribute data. For my personal app it wasn't worth it.
To clarify, you can either pay the principal amount (e.g. 20k) or use the ISA which maxes out at 150% of the principle amount. By "zero interest" I just mean it's a fixed amount that won't ever change. This might seem like a frivolous distinction, but it means that you'll never have to worry about getting trapped paying just the interest so I think it makes a big difference

The sanctions on Iraq after the first Gulf War were approved by the UN and the bulk of their practical problems had to do with Iraqi non-compliance. There's a decent argument to be made they strengthened Saddam Hussein's regime but the 'human consequences' were themselves direct consequences of the regime's cruelty and intransigence.

I would trust Spotify but not NYTimes, in this model, so perhaps consider a more hostile example than Spotify as well.
I really want to become an Orthodox Christian but feel like I would struggle with the whole "believing in God" thing. Should I still try it? Is there any way that I could "come to believe in God" in time?
In general it sounds like you are doing what I would do (show them that it can be introduced gradually/non-disruptively, and what problems it solves).

However, you can't always do a whole lot to change a culturally embedded prejudice against certain practices/technology. The best I could really think of doing is just waiting until bugs are inevitably found, and documenting each case that could have been avoided by the compiler. If your company tracks work done, you could come to your technical leadership and say "we wasted 200 hours this quarter/year/whatever fixing TypeErrors that TS would have caught", and that _might_ move the needle. You can't change the opinion of a horde of developers by talking to them directly, but if a mandate comes to them from on high that's for their own good, that will probably at least get some of them to try it long enough to come around to the idea.

Even that idea is kind of politically risky though, so take it with a grain of salt.
Hi mooreds, would love to get access to a FusionAuth account where we could set up and test your SAML identity provider (would also help us build an instructions guide for FusionAuth customers). Could you make this happen?

What’s more weird is implicating partisanship where there is none.

I'm not trying to start a fight, because I agree with your overall point - learning and growing as a nation is important. That's honestly a big part of why I believe political figures obituaries should include their full context. But these two sentences seem to me to sharply contradict each-other.
The Mesa driver is all in user space, it's simply a library. You can develop it without messing with your system or any of the applications that are generally open.

Developers can just build and install them to some user-controlled directory (e.g., $HOME/opt) and run from there with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other similar variables. You can wrap all the variables in a script and run your custom-built mesa with simply "$ with-custom-mesa glxgears" and then glxgears will be using your custom (and possibly broken) driver, while everything else will still be using the default drivers from the distro.

You could use containers such as systemd-nspawn, but it's much more complicated than simply using $HOME/opt.

> To the people who think the exorbitant fees are okay: Imagine a world with no cash. Now the payment card companies decide they want 30% of all transactions. You think that would be reasonable?

Just so that we're talking on equal terms here, card processors and networks solve a massive amount of problems that existed with cash. Pre-card, many stores setup credit accounts with individuals, had book keeping practices to deal with, and had to chase down credit lines they themselves offered. Even with debit cards, card networks facilitate the ability to automatically move money between parties and give customers the ability to dispute/chargeback fraudulent transactions easily. If you physically hand a merchant cash, you can't claw that back without a legal process, whereas you're afforded protections by the card network.

But the 30% cut is completely different from card processors. Of the 30% to Google Play or to Apple, a small fraction (2.9%ish) is actually the card overhead. The rest is split between pure profit, infrastructure, and whatever else gets tacked on.

Cards definitely offer important things to facilitate transactions that are objectively better than a pure cash world for most people. But it's important to call out crazy cash grabs like 30%, which is unheard of even in the payment network world.
> Whatever it is I am sure it's not as bad as what the other party did in 2003.

Democrats don't get to wash their hands of that invasion. Both parties supported it.

Sanctions and sporadic bombings on critical infrastructure under Clinton was estimated to cause on the order of a million deaths, mostly children dieing of disease because the US destroyed water treatment facilities. Albright infamously defended the deaths of 800,000 children as worth the cost in a 60 minutes interview.

(Unfortunately the political lesson from that wasn't don't cause mass death, it was don't acknowledge that you've caused mass death)
If this was Spotify vs Google I’d take Spotify.
