OP is talking about preventing pregnancy not about sharing the pain or risks in pregnancy. Of course a lot of men would share these with their partner.

Women simply have a much higher incentive to prevent pregnancy because they are much more affected by pregnancy. The worst thing that happens for a man is that they have to pay alimony. Women face the risks of pregnancy and birth or an abortion.
Well, I suppose his business (app) was reliant on their platform (Google Play) in several ways.

It's not like he can just transfer his stuff on f-droid or whatever and call it a day. If the app isn't on Google Play, it simply doesn't exist for most Android users. For instance, even being tech savvy, APKs and alternative stores are a huge turnoff for me.
I have been a huge fan of Ubuntu for a long time. But the way they push snap is really making me question this choice. The more I learn about snap the less I like it.
It’s not even remotely close. Snaps take longer to load, still sometimes have theme issues, you have to manually install Snap on almost all non-Snap distributions, you’ll be littered with garbage mountpoints, you’ll have a useless snap folder in your home directory, you can’t add external repositories of any kind, and you get no ability to stop updates easy without going into duct tape solutions.

Snap wants to be a desktop, and server, system. Not with a 10 foot pole - Docker is literally 100x better. Not on my Desktop - Flatpak is superior there.
The problem was that there were cases were consent was not given and of healthy 70 year olds having to fight for ventilators at least in the beginning. From what I understood a lot changed when people realized what was happening in June 2020, the paper is pretty vague about this it talks mainly about the first half of 2020.
>> UNIX isn’t good enough anymore and it’s getting worse

>Why exactly?

Personally? We're in a bit of a transition point, and a lot of the technologies aren't working together like they used to.

An example, on my laptop I want to run android apps. The way to do this that actually works well (waydroid) only supports wayland. Unfortunately I use x2x to control another display remotely, and x2x doesn't work properly under wayland, and never will due to wayland's security choices.

So like, what am I supposed to do here? Not run android apps? Not use tools like barrier/synergy/x2x?

This is one of many many frustrations I've had from this new generation of wayland/systemd/etc. Hopefully it gets better eventually but it does feel a lot like the rug is constantly being pulled out from under me for no good reason...

Now I don't think a lisp machine is going to fix that mind you, but it is a concern.

>Monsanto is infamous for contaminating non-GMO crops on neighbour farms then suing the neighbour for growing the GMO variety, and for "drift" of their special herbicide which happens to destroy neighbour farm crops - for which the only solution is, you guessed it, buy Monsanto GMO varieties to grow instead of the non-GMO varieties you wanted to grow.

1. in the context of this discussion (ie. GMO cows) this is basically a non-issue. GMO sperm isn't going to "drift" from one pasture to another.

2. Can you substantiate that claim? The Wikipedia article lists a bunch of cases where the farmers were intentionally trying to breed monsanto seeds, which is different than the narrative you presented, which imply farmers being sued for accidental contamination.

I would like to gently caution and remind everyone that seeing coworker faces once a week may not have been the make-or-break in why Pete took his own life. And for all we know it may have made him feel worse.

A relatively solitary and cognitively intense discipline like software engineering could be one place in society (one!) where genuine introverts are understood and appreciated.

(I certainly agree that we should acknowledge when a team member dies and give people space to be sad!)
? Sry?

So advocating for any punishment (which every sanction is) is not okay?

So everyone on hn is against sanctions?
No I'm not. I am opposed to unlimited immigration though due to the shock effect on society.
I’ve had online relationships that are just as close and just as real as the people I know in person.

Deaths of people whose faces I’ve never seen and voices I’ve never heard hit just as hard as any other. I’ve attended an online funeral with only text for interaction from a hotel room a thousand miles from home. It was just as real as ones in person.
Maybe not a term unique to the field, but it’s good practice for a user interface to be cohesive in its conceptual models. In your example, the model given to you wasn’t cohesive in that it required you to first memorise a specific key binding to proceed, then required a separate key binding because the associated ”finalising” term happened to be spelled a separate way. Consider the same case for international users: if the word “Done” is translated into the fictional word “Sploog”, should the final key press be Alt+S for those users? (Hint: No)
Not necessarily. It's possible that the group that works on increasing their grip strength will also become healthier overall in other ways. The grip strength exercises might motivate them to do other things that are good for them, body their mood, etc.
One thing that I did not hear much of during the pandemic were the actual opinions of the elderly on the subject. Did they really want all of the measures that were taken?
Malthusian model is the basics of modern understanding of historical populations. See, for example, Gregory Clark’s “Farewell to Alms”. The population very much reproduces itself geometrically (or at least used to for most of history), and the growth in food supply was much slower. In effect, the historical populations quickly hit the equilibria, and oscillated around Malthusian limit. Compare, for example, rapid population growth of colonial America, with very lackluster growth of population of England during the same time (and even then, the growth in England was partially fueled by food imports from America).

> What is that "kind of economics"?

Marx’s “Capital” is the bullshit kind of economics. If anything, it is the butt joke of economists today.
But they're not. You can very well have the swap on top of LVM on top of LUKS. And the root and other partitions share that same LVM and LUKS. So now you have FDE and the kernel will know how to assemble it all. The only difference with the default pop OS install is that the swap key isn't changed on every boot. But since the other partitions holding the actual data use persistent keys, that doesn't look like much of an issue to me.

Plus, if you're OK with using a TPM, you can also get waking up from hibernation without having to enter type in your password.

Source: been doing exactly that (without the TPM part) on a laptop for a few years, and it just worked like a charm. No hoop-jumping involved or anything.

> I actually have found comfort in my personal life from thinking about that little passage...

This idea of finding comfort or guidance in movies is exactly how I feel, and it is what motivates me to catalogue the life lessons found in movies on "moviewise."
Depends on the particulars. In some countries in Europe, contractors pay much less taxes than FTEs. Hence, a lot of people prefer contracting. The additional benefit of being outside of grasp of HR and their processes (I'm mostly a contractor and never once in my life had to formaly define "yearly goals" or write up evaluation of my peers) is also nice for a lot of people.
What to you mean by DVD-Video UI?

Edit: To the dead comment about JVM shipping with DVD. No, you are confusing DVD with Blu-ray. You may use the terms interchangably conversationaly, but they are 2 totally different things. DVDs were quite simple, but that's what made them so effective. While Blu-ray used Java, HD-DVD used ECMA script. They were both overcomplications to a situation nobody really cared about, a solution looking for a problem if you will.
This has less isolation. The container has full access to your X server and can record your screen or log all key presses, for example. It also has access to the host's network interfaces, and can access services bound to localhost (even if firewalled). There is little point in running software this way, if the software is available on the host.

On the other hand the use cases that the article describes can already be accomplished by Firefox's "account containers" feature or just creating another profile and running `firefox --no-remote`
It's not that difficult. It is "difficult" in the sense that many of the experiments to prove causation are cost prohibitive. But coming up with the experimental parameters needed to verify causation are trivial.

In fact, ALL clinical trials for all medicine are designed to verify causation. It's that straightforward. It just happens to cost a lot of money. Think about that. Why are clinical trials much more expensive than say the experiment correlating grip strength and life span? What is the differentiating factor?

This is the key. If you don't understand why/how clinical trials verify causation and what exactly is the differentiator between experiments that only correlate things then you don't truly understand the dichotomy between correlation and causation.

Most people don't understand it. Even the programming crowd. I even met data scientists who don't know about it.

>I sure hope Putin is an evil genius because if he isn't I can only say "Say goodbye to your super power status, Russia, and enjoy your hard fought international insignificance!"

I never understood what Putin's end game was here with this war, what can he earn extra of what he doesn't already have? He's already one of the world's richest men and he's already quite old. Couldn't he just like take his insane wealth and retire to some Caribbean island and live out the rest of his life in absolute luxury? Why did he need to start WW3 for? What does he stand to gain now? Seems like a stupid idea to become the world's most hated person when you were already set for a luxurious life.

The guidelines do not contain any mention of punishment.

And if a sanction is punishment, we are not allowed to discuss if sanctions and what level of them is okay?
This is a larger issue. And it's not just limited to remote contractors. Even in the cushiest of office jobs with full benefits, seasoned HR and regular check-ins these personal issues can and do impact employees - often times not resulting in death but universally in personal suffering.

It's easy and convenient to keep the workplace professional and file those concerns away as "not your business", but they're important.

A good friend of mine (after years of being a good colleague) had immigrated from Ukraine to Canada a year ago and was weeks away from his family joining him when the unfortunate recent events unfolded. His wife and newborn child forced to drive a car from Kharkiv to Poland for a full week before they were even remotely "in the clear". He offered to continue working during this time when told to take time off fully paid, and said it kept his mind off of the things he couldn't control and that he was eternally grateful that he had this job in the first place and that his family's relocation was already prepared, saving him weeks of striding through refugee paperwork.

The lesson was clear - had he been an affordable contractor there we left in Ukraine vs a valued team member who we cared about on a personal level it would have been a dire situation for his family and our company.

Take the time to genuinely ask your people how things are inside and outside of work.

Surely you can see where the issue is, don’t you? How can a westerner having a baby be any worse than an immigrant making their way to a western country, from a carbon footprint perspective? To me you can’t logically say that westerners having babies is a problem and still be OK with any amount of immigration, at least if the environment is your argument.

> To cut a long story short — due to moving to another country, I wanted to update my developer account to follow all the rules related to taxes in that country, but with Google, it’s not so easy, you can’t change the country for an existing payment profile (and also create a new payment profile), you need to create a new Google account, then pay for a new developer account and only then create a new payment profile and transfer your app to that new account.

These don't seem like the right steps. You can definitely have multiple payments profiles for one account, including from different countries (I do). There's no need to create a second account.

The instructions the author links to aren't suggesting creating a new account either.

I agree with most of what you wrote here, but the article discusses two separate labs, one of which was looted and is now missing some radioactive material.

There’s not much detail as to specific materials and quantities, and it seems like the other lab that’s no longer being monitored has more dangerous materials. But still, they are saying that the looted material could be used to build a dirty bomb, so it’s not clear to me that the headline is just pure hyperbole. My guess is the calibration standards and waste that is mentioned as missing are not enough to make a meaningfully dirty bomb, but I don’t really know

I learned chess at an early age; this is perhaps not surprising, I was a nerdy kid and went on to get degrees in math, electrical engineering, and computer science. However, I am a very mediocre player. I’ve studied chess on and off for many years —- I think my copy of MCO (Modern Chess Openings) is 50 years old. My bookshelf currently holds 59 books on chess.

But why am I so bad at chess? After pondering this for years, I’ve decided my problem is that some people are, like the Brazilian maid in the featured article, just astoundingly, preternaturally good at the game. Humans talents are so interesting. No amount of practice will make me another Michael Jordon nor even a strong ranked chess player.

The model requires just seconds to train on a few dozen still photos — plus data on the camera angles they were taken from — and can then render the resulting 3D scene within tens of milliseconds

Pretty impressive, but lesser compared to generating it from 4 photos (which imho the movie suggests). Which would be "real magic level of impressiveness" for me
Actually the term is technically incorrect.

Correlation DOES IMPLY causation somewhere. It's just the causative source may not be part of the experimental parameters.

Think about it. Hand grip and longer lifespan. For those two things to correlate they MUST at the very least be connected by one or several causative sources. There is no other logical explanation for it.

It's just this source isn't part of the experimental parameters.

On the other side of the coin if two things Do NOT correlate, it heavily implies no causative connection at all.

> The worst thing that happens for a man is that they have to pay alimony.

You mean child support, but more accurately: men would either be faced with raising the child also, or paying a hefty sum for almost 20 years. I guess that's easy to brush off?

As for preventing pregnancy, plenty of men opt for vasectomies when they know having a kid is off the table. The rate is not as high in the U.S. as other countries in the West, but it's still 1/10.
That is a captivating idea!
To me, the whole idea of a recreation of a person for my own daily comfort just cheapens the former existence of that person. It's one thing to have genuine photographs or even videos since there's an obvious delineation between memory and reality. Photos can make it even more obvious that the person is no longer alive. But to turn someone into an AI for the sake of coping (and denial) turns them into a product.

Maybe that's fine for some people. To me there's a line where it crosses over into offense. In no way do I think the status quo of my mental well-being is so important that I'd replace someone with a digital robot facsimile.
What Republic of Utopia are you from? By those standards, the Ukrainian people should be punished for their persistent history of corruption. After all, in 2014, Ukraine was parallel with Nigeria on a global corruption index - and it has been significantly below too. As for the Ukrainians doing "a lot" to fight corruption, it seems not yet to have worked so well. Zelensky himself is featured in the Pandora Papers[0] where he is believed to have participated in the offshoring of 41 million. His closest associate, whose private ski resort he was visiting just before the invasion, was Kolomoyskyi - who has been sanctioned by the united states and had 2billion in assets seized. In 2018, he stated to journalists that Ukraine needed to "return to Russia"[1]. A strange creature to associate with.

I do not disparage Ukraine or its leaders. I do not support Russia. But it isn't all so simple.

Ask HN: YouTube – what do you think of the “shorts” feature?
If you haven't seen them, these "shorts" are 30-second (portrait) videos, often interspersed throughout a channel. I don't mind these shorts, but they are obviously a response to the popularity of TikTok.

Some observations on YouTube "shorts":

- The "shorts" have no video playback controls (apart from pause).

- "Shorts" take you out of a channel and into what seems (to me) a random stream of "shorts".

- The short, bit-sized format of "shorts" make them popular for mobile consumption.

The idea of short-format video is not new (e.g. Vine).

What are you thoughts on the YouTube "shorts" feature? And what are you thoughts on YouTube "shorts" vs TikTok?
