> Why does #BlackLivesMatter stoke heated division among HN users?

Simply because it is a political issue, on which people might have different opinions. And since that specific issue is not related to tech at all, it just causes conflict without any benefit.

While honoring the death of some generally respected figure in our field is hopefully less controversial and more informative.
He cut the funds rate from 6% to 1% pretty much overnight, which was excessive given there was only a mild recession at the time.

To his credit he did start ratcheting it up shortly after.

Low rate from past decade is for many reasons, high unemployment for most of the 2010s is the main one. Weak fiscal response to 2008 leading to slow recovery.

The Fed shouldn't be the tool to try to address impact of a recession, it's much healthier to address through an intelligently crafted fiscal package. But the ease of being able to unilaterally set monetary policy tends to corrupt the Fed's decision making and skew it towards short term problems.

All that being said, Greenspan did a hell of a better job than Powell overall

A Pixel 4a or 5a is $200-400 and works fine with Graphene. Don't get anything below 4a in terms of age if that is your plan.

Also, they have back hardware fingerprint reader instead of in-screen with the 6/6 Pro which has been orders of magnitude more responsive, at least for me. I routinely have issues with the in-screen readers.
This thinking seems to assume that employers are unable to choose how, when, and where they employ people. At some point it's cheaper to automate the job than hire someone to do it, or simply put money into higher ROI generators.
Same way everyone else finds therapists. I get referred by my GP, and then join the waiting list so I can have a first appointment in maybe 7 months.

If this was a real law, lawmakers would definitely need to flesh out the requirement beyond what an HN commenter presumably spitballed in a couple minutes or less, yes. As written, the requirement also doesn't account for factors like public transit.

But I do think the idea has merit.

If they said you could donate on top of the jar price to help the poor third world peanut farmers, and you did so, and then found that money went to the CEO's salary and a rebranded PeanutVPN product, and then the Peanut Butter CEO justified it by saing that Mark Zuckerberg and Satya Nadella get paid a lot so it's not fair if they don't, would none of that that annoy you?
Even further, the US State Department has a COLA for any city it has an embassy or consulate in the world. But it's for a diplomatic lifestyle, not for minimum wage workers in the US.
This. Material design relies on the browser hint to inform you the mouse/pointer has moved to an active element. Viewed with no focus on an active element, how are you meant to tell which pane of flat colour is a pressable, actionable element?

I handle "random theme breaking my app" as a valid bug report, it's not that hard.

It's either something I'd have to fix in my app or fixed in that theme. Just ignoring the situation is just a shitty response.
You have entirely misunderstood the conversation and how playlisting works. We were already literally discussing Spotify playlists. The curators (bloggers and social media personalities) use their platform to solicit submissions, which they filter and then add to their Spotify playlist. Nobody said anything about Spotify listeners reading blogs to find music.

You're also being very conspiratorial by pretending that all playlists and TikTok users are being paid to place music. It does exist, but is not even remotely as ubiquitous as you're pretending.
Most people are more than capable of dealing with the burden of managing their personal finances and budgeting. The more responsibility you want to shove off on institutions to take care of for you, the greater you increase your dependence on them and the more susceptible you make yourself to their control.
I ended up reverting back to the old context menu. Those icons are annoying to parse and I have a tendency to look down each row as 20+ years of context menus has taught. And having so many options tucked an extra click away.

You’re not wrong, people can do more themselves now…but the labels can also do these things, while being globally networked. You sound like you know what you’re talking about, but probably worth spending more time knowing your enemy if you really want to destroy them.
But should a 27 year-old fry cook make enough money to live alone? Labor is labor. Pay shouldn’t be less because it’s going to an acceptable to abuse class of person.
Labels often have established logistics for merchandizing (including design, QC, fulfillment, etc etc), websites, digital distribution through the higher-end channels, physical distribution deals (that one is even more work to get set up), connections to producers, mixing engineers, mastering houses, studios and so on.

There are a lot of resources in the industry that are not available to the public. You have to build those connections over years, in some cases decades.

When promoters are doing things like trying to pay you in stolen blue jeans (love you, T.O.) it can help to have more people in your corner.

The music industry is segmented, and man some parts are the Wild West. Total fun, but you will struggle to make enough for cab fare at times without support.
Why shouldn't someone working as a fry cook be able to live on his salary? It's not dangerous to have a system where not everyone needs a university degree to earn a living.
I still think it's just stupid, I still can't buy anything with it, it seems to be just something that people use to try and make a quick buck. The ACTUAL interesting crypto coins like Monero are mostly banned by governments. It's all just grifters and fraudsters trying to pawn shit off on you. It's basically like they re-invented the slot machine in a far more energy intensive way.
Oh that's simple. It's impossible to make a webapp that works well on mobile. On mobile, you must be able to tap on buttons that are located along an edge of the screen. Those are the easiest to access points. However, in a web browser, doing so will invoke the search box, the menu bar, the back button, any number of unlucky events. So companies are forced to make a mobile app.
> Why do you think insurance companies are so happy to pay these exorbitant sums to the medical industry?

I have no idea what you're asking.

We're in full agreement!

> You have planted an entire forest of bullshit above that nobody can verify is true or not.

If only I'd linked the study!

> The middle class is being wiped out. Everyone knows this.

Yes, with more people moving to the upper class than the lower.[0] And the increase in lower-class households is totally unrelated to the fact that all US population growth is driven by low-skill immigration!

> It's happening from all angles and everyone knows medical bills are one of the main weapons used by the government to do it.

Of course! Democratic governments with consumer-driven economies are notorious for their hatred of the middle class!

> If you quit, someone new will take your place.

Why is this a bad thing?

You wouldn't actually prefer if Google kept new creators from getting views just to benefit old creators who aren't producing as much content, would you?

> Google wants you to kill yourself putting out as much content as possible, and doesn't care if you have to reduce quality or literally die as a result.

No, Google does not want you to "literally die". They aren't taking anything away from old YouTubers by letting users watch content from new YouTubers.

YouTube is an increasingly crowded content and more and more creators are vying for views and advertising dollars. You're ascribing a lot of malice to Google, but you're literally just describing market competition.

The alternative (keeping new content creators locked out so old content creators could continue to profit more) is obviously not viable.
Yeah, and this is the trouble with trying to get people to engage with hypotheticals on the internet in thoughtful ways.

The usual formula for any engagement with hypothetical ideas is for it to be reflexively dismissed with a "that'll never work" response. Most of the time I think this is the instinctive friction we feel at being asked to engage with a new idea, and saying that'll never work for [insert reason] is intended not to express a counter-argument so much as it is to reject the invitation to participate in the exercise.

But even in the genre of "that'll never work" responses, this one is uniquely strange. Normally the "that'll never work" response suggests that there's some obstacle that arises as a consequence of the change to the status quo. But here, it's just a list obstacles that aren't connected to any underlying principle. It doesn't even feel like the usual "that'll never work" response.
" But even those you can defend, even with your own troops, by making adequate contracts."

Making a deal with the moroccean government, would include their troops defending the investment, or could be modified to include own troops.

But like I also said above, the south of europe has plenty of sun, too.
It is however realistic given the the US's urban layout and population preferences. Also nowhere has succeeded in keeping essential, low paid workers living near where they work - gentrification forces them out.
I know the popular story is that:

1. pay workers extra (ie. above the market rate)

2. workers are richer now

3. they use that money to buy the stuff you make

4. ???

5. profit!

Has this actually been studied empirically? If you had to choose between paying your workers $1000 more and pocketing it, surely the latter option is the better one? Sure, they might use some of that money to buy your product, but they're not going to spend all of it, and after your own costs (eg. cost of goods sold), you're going to end up with less than $1000? How is that extracting "maximum value from said labor"?
Because you do seem genuine I will describe why I find this discussion to be in bad faith. You rarely (if ever) grant a charitable interpretation to my statements. You (almost?) always extrapolate my comments to the most extreme and weakest position. You seem to mostly be interested in "winning" and are funneling the conversation to points you find yourself most comfortable and strongest in. You regularly attack me as a person.

I find it unlikely that if I were to surface information and/or an argument to you that you did not know, that you would incorporate it into your world view. It seems you would dismiss it and focus on other aspects of the discussion and/or extrapolate the new argument to an absurd extreme thus making it irrelevant.

> In response, you made a claim that certain things were examples of "cancel culture" coming from the right. A claim you have thus far still utterly failed to defend.

I think this is the crux here. I offered a potential alternative explanation for why we might see more "cancel culture" from the "left" than the "right". Simply that the "right" often has more effective and lower risk options in "cancelling" a person.
I do this, but I do not want to do this.

Also it looks funky. The padding is messed up and the text doesn't fit.
I agree 100% with the author, the old GTK button was gorgeous, it will be missed.

> I have had to explain to people tons of times that the random word in the UI somewhere in an application is actually a button they can press to invoke an action.

This is one of my biggest complaints with the super flat modern designs. Many widgets lost their skeuomorphic depth, which encoded a lot if visual information (the clickability, the current status), but in many cases nothing was added to supplant the loss of those visual cues, so now it is just a label (or a label in a white or grey box) and there is no way of knowing if it is clickable or its current status.
If automation was free it'd be here already. Automation creates high skilled jobs to manage the automation - it can be a significant labour save but the way healthy economies work that freed labour is going to find some other service to offer.
Yes. But I always assumed causation is direction-agnostic. I tend to think of it as a topological structure.
I initially was extremely skeptical that USB-C was an improvement, but after having used it for 6 months I am totally sold. I was able to buy a relatively cheap dock from Dell, plug in my charging cable, 2 external monitors, printer, ethernet, webcam and a host of other USB-A accessories into the dock. Then I am able to simply connect one single USB-C cable to my laptop and everything works seamlessly.

If I want to move my laptop, I just unplug the one cable, instead of my previous 4-5. Further, I can mount the dock under my desk to hide the clutter and just have the single USB-C cable visible. For me, its working great!
My commute is 45 minutes without traffic... 46 minutes with traffic. (I live in Oregon.)
You could increase your throughput with multiple monitors to simultaneously view multiple episodes. A bit of gaze detection and audio could switch to whichever feed your eyes focused on.

I think the point was since the stimulus money has stopped they don't have to compete with the government and with inflation these folks will need to find a job.
This is exactly how I feel about it. The sad thing is that if the whole gnome ecosystem burns down I'd have to use the alternatives that I like even less.

I'm just not designing gtk4 apps untill it's actually better than gtk3
I am failing to understand what that second sentence means - can you de-meme it a bit?
hmm, maybe, I think it must be a mistake though, the inside of just about everything is messier than the outside.
Common misconception. You can cross-compile from Linux or MacOS. For testing, yes, you'll need a copy of Windows, which you can easily run in a VM.

Technically, you can run a MacOS VM on Windows, also, but it isn't an easy process, and many would give up.
Steam does and people don’t though.
A better method is to give everyone a universal basic income enough to afford a place to live and to eliminate the minimum wage. That way jobs would have to pay what the job is worth to people, not amounts that create a poverty trap.
> Not true.

Your reasoning is specious. The government is only obligated to protect particular rights under the Constitution, not any "right" you dream up. A grand jury is not serving you; it's serving the government, in the course of the government protecting your rights. If we want the government to protect our rights, of course we have a duty to do things like serve on grand juries. But that is not a service to the individual defendants; it's a service to us as a society, through the government.

> Monopolies are bad for consumers because no one can compete with them effectively.

If no one can compete with them because no one can offer the same products and services at an equally low price and in equally large quantities, that's not bad for consumers. That's good. What's bad is when the government steps in at the behest of the failed competitors to break up the monopolies, raising prices, lowering supply, and making things worse for consumers, as in the historical examples I gave.

If no one can compete with them effectively because they've bought special privileges from the government (which is often the case--for example, that's how railroad barons in the US in the late 19th century avoided competition, by getting the government to give them exclusive rights over particular routes), that's a reason to have less government regulation, not more.

If no one can compete with them effectively because no one is even trying, then someone should try. For example, if having guaranteed human phone support is something valuable to customers, then customers will pay for it. So there's an obvious business opportunity (and all the startup entrepreneurs you refer to on this site should be champing at the bit to take it). If it's not valuable enough to customers for them to pay for it, then why should the law step in and require it?
I would trust sound data and transparent analyses showing age-stratified risk analyses if they existed. With all respect, what you just wrote is essentially hand-waving and talking past what I wrote. High effectiveness for elderly people (which I find plausible but also still deeply confounded by testing rate differences) in no way justifies mandates for people in their early 20s.

In some proportion of hospitals, when someone who is not vaccinated goes to hospital for any reason, they are tested for COVID-19. If found positive this is counted as a COVID-19 hospitalization. We have no access to the precise rate of these incidental hospitalizations. In some of these hospitals, it is the policy that vaccinated people who go to the hospital are NOT routinely tested unless they have symptoms. If this is the policy at a substantial number of hospitals, it could dramatically change the "effect size" of the measurements that we are talking about. The same issues essentially applies to COVID-19 deaths and cases.

Large effect size alone generally isn't convincing when you're using such fundamentally confounded sampling procedures, merged age-groups with wildly different risk profiles, and data aggregated across long time-windows with different population sizes.
To be fair, only salad with croutons is-a nachos. Salad without sprinkled carbs is-a salad.
Maybe a source? I was curious and using federal minimum wages from either 1970($1.45/hr) or 1979($2.90/hr) would yield less than $12/hr. I know you can contest how inflation is calculated, or use shadow stats, but then you're getting into murky waters. The official numbers are no where near the claim of $24/hr though.
Now I'm wondering who's managed to pull off supply chain attacks on dice, since I'm sure it's happened already.

I was on prescription stims for about 8 years. My heart rate was significantly higher in gym class than most, despite being relatively in-shape. However, I was apparently on them for so long that my RHR was permanently elevated. I almost never go below 85, over 10 years later. I doubt this was a net benefit for heart health.

It’s funny that the ideals of granting everyone “life, liberty and a the pursuit of happiness” are regarded as wisdom, but as soon as somebody tries to ponder of what that might be on the specific, then it’s regarded as crazy.
How are you saying this is carbon negative? Don't get me wrong the process is impressive and very cool, but the marketing around it just feels scammy.

-5kg of carbon per m2? How? The lignin based binder absorbs more carbon from the air after it is placed into the road? I may be misreading but it seems like these numbers are based on the amount of carbon in the lignin itself (i.e. since it isn't burned which would be positive, you can count it as negative as it is not burned)

If I am wrong on this, please correct me. But it sure sounds like a lot of conveniently vague statements to make for nice sounding numbers. This would be a shame as even without misleading claims of CO2 reduction, the benefit of removing oil from the process and replacing it with a renewable source is clear and should stand for itself.

If the binder does indeed absorb C02 over time what is the rate? What effect does it have on the binders stability? Or if its used in its manufacturing how are you sourcing the CO2? What is the breakdown timeframe for the binder releasing any sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere?
I still don't think you can make a block or an assignment using CSS vars, i.e. the left hand side of a `property: value;` statement. Maybe I'm wrong, that would be interesting

I think maybe workers would be receptive to this if it weren't for the fact that whenever there's plenty of cash going around it doesn't loosen the belts of workers - it just gets dumped into BS like stock buybacks.

You can't ask for grace when you offer none.
> The dark theme, while not officially supported as a normal application theme, works absolutely brilliantly and is a great example of how to design a dark theme.
