The toxicity on this site still amazes me. We have people here claiming, "It's only English, would never fly with engineering." How horrendously dismissive and arrogant an attitude. As if engineering is some god-like holy discipline that sorts the "real" students from the "fake" ones. This professor makes many valid points, and I think it would be entirely applicable to engineering. It's like you never analyzed an op-amp? That is a scalable demonstration of knowledge, that can be critiqued and revised.

Circuit design is more an art than a science, that's why two of the most popular non-textbooks on the topic are called:

"Analog Circuit Design: Art, Science, and Personalities" - Williams

"The Art of Electronics" - Horowitz and Hill

Get over yourselves.

EDIT: If you read these two books, they focus on the highly subjective nature of analog design, and how multiple designs can still meet the design criteria, but have a certain elegance about them that is an expressive quality of personality. The same could be said about source code, in that an experienced programmer can deliver creative alternatives to the most naive solution that solves the problem. Sure, it is important to learn that 1+1=2 (or 11, depending on '+'), but the same can be said of English, where spelling and grammar matter, and mistakes can be just as deadly as Metric vs Imperial.

You cannot satisfy your most fundamental need for food and water.

“Ruralia” is already entirely ecologically sustainable.

If you don’t want to subsidize rural infrastructure through your tax dollars, then frankly, we should just charge you exorbitant rates for our food and water, and then — by your metric — we’ll be entirely financially sustainable, too.

You're right about his age. That is very important, I'm wondering if the HN can be locked or not visible so it won't show up in future searches. I'm grateful that the internet and smart phones weren't as prevalent when I was making my youthful mistakes.
I'm raising my eyebrow a bit while reading this. It conflates build tools, Debian packages, and Docker containers as one big tangled mess or abstraction. More than half of it is about everything BUT containers.

I wonder if an 'Emergency Data Request' to Amazon by a law enforcement organization has to go through all the hoop jumping described here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30820424

relevant comment: "I had to click through more than 100 links to download all the data, how can this be acceptable? Specially coming from Amazon. How hard is it for them to create an archive with all the data? This is ridiculous, I can't imagine how was the meeting when they decided to produce purposefully such garbage UX."

This would indicate that Amazon has some kind of internal interface for these Emergency Data Requests for law enforcement that just dumps all the data to them immediately without all those barriers to access. Makes one wonder why that's not also available to Amazon users?

Also, are these Emergency Data Requests ever subjected to post-mortem court review of any kind? Is anyone in law enforcement ever subjected to discipline for bogus requests?
Yep. It's common in the US. I wouldn't call it normal by any stretch (at risk of normalizing this bullshit), but it's definitely common. My kids have gone through it every year. Heck, I think they've had more shooter drills than fire drills.

When my oldest kid went through one for the first time in 1st grade, they came home and broke down about it. Said they didn't want to die at school and was afraid the bad men would attack. We ended up going through therapy with a child play-therapist which helped my kiddo a lot (in case anyone might be running into this issue and is unsure of what to do).

Somehow this is considered OK, but the "trauma" of wearing a mask to prevent an airborne illness was too much to bear.

I'm sorry, I'm not making any pro statement for backstage of politics. I'm saying that people who are not exposed to this, could think that they could run a better society, but ultimately they wouldn't. Coming in with high technological hopes of societal improvements while closing a blind eye to how it's actually done at this point will never work, or so I feel.

I would like a bit more context into how you feel my mentioning of backstage of politics, which is indeed how the world is run today, is detrimental to my point that old men have experience in exactly this.
Kinda unrelated, but I actually had never thought about doing a "reverse open source" like this, with open development but closed source.

Having worked in strictly open products in the past, there's a lot to be gained having your issue tracker public, and letting anyone interested joining the discussion.

It's not like you are doing military stuff or anything that needs to be that secretive, and if there is something secretive, you can just use another project.

"But this could be easily regulated. I don't understand why anyone can spoof anything they want."

No, unfortunately it's not easy to regulate. It would involve not just all domestic operators, but also all telecom service aggregators (e.g. Twilio, Infobip, Sinch, and a thousand more), to find common ground and coordination of a working register of what company has the rights to what SMS sender name within one nation's network, whether it's numeric or alphanumeric.

STIR/SHAKEN (which regulates usage of numeric caller IDs for phone calls) has taken ages to come to fruition, and that's despite the huge technical benefit of phone numbers being inherently anonymous and already belonging to a specific network operator. With the sender of an SMS the logistics are very different, and that's before even touching on the enormous business of legitimate SMS services and how these should be able to compete on the open market.
Both are valid preferences but nobody is pushing legislation that would gradually coerce more people into the rural life. Not true of the sardine life.
Your work contract explicitly says "you can't disclose confidential data that's not related to your employment"? Fairly sure mine only talks about data related to my employment (i.e. company data, customer data, ... - anything I got access to through work).
Yes; then again, who said it doesn't? I guess grandparent's point was about perceived comfort.
Unfortunately I don’t think belittling these employees helps much here, especially considering how good a dedicated phisher can become at their craft.
The way to prevent such 'unevenness' in rules intended to help the environment is to make them taxes and caps on emissions, rather than bans.

If for example the US were to decide we need to halve mercury emissions every 5 years for the next 50 years (a 99.9% reduction), then we would implement a system where anyone emitting mercury needed to purchase the 'right' to pollute by auction. Each year the available quota would be reduced.

The end result is the levels of pollutants are reduced in the most economically viable way.

Does this mean that of the two characteristics ("study in mice" and "is a preprint"), "is a preprint" is more predictive of the result failing to pan out in humans?

Thank you! I've only begun to put the pieces in the last couple of years while trying to figure out why my behavior is the way it is. Haven't made a ton of progress, but knowledge feels like a good first step. Planning to try to find a therapist, but one of the challenges is that many people in this position apparently avoid therapy, because they fear empathizing too much with the therapist, rather than focusing on themselves. It's rooted in a fear of enmeshment, and it's also why there's very little research about schizoid personality disorder, because those people generally avoid therapy. I suspect I may have SPD, but I don't want to self diagnose (and it's maybe too simple to label complex behaviors like this with one label anyway).
I had an idea to create a kind of giant curtain that will block sunlight to reach earth. We will be in the dark but it will cool down the temperature.
It'd be economically viable if what I pay in local/state versus federal taxes were flipped. What happens instead is I pay exorbitant federal taxes, then that gets given back to my state/local governments as grants/title X funding with stipulations to fix the roads, etc. At least the taxes I pay to local government I have more direct control of as an individual voter. Instead I'm just funding a massive military and protection of countries overseas and our oil interests.

Also even though you get less room, the cost of living inside a city is insane. The trade offs don't make any sense. You can often live a much better QoL, for half as much anywhere else. Address the cost of living issues, then more people might be interested in the city lifestyle. The truth is even those that live in suburbs or rural areas that are interested living in the city simply can't afford it. If they work there they're paid just enough that they have to commute an hour or more to afford to live somewhere.
> Termination must have a cause, be backed up with documentation, and ideally display the company's attempts at remediation (i.e. the PIP).

In my experience that's exactly how it works already. It's expensive to fire an employee. If I wanted to let someone go, HR would make me prove it was necessary and require the VP to sign off on it. And if the employee in question is known to be a member of a protected class (the biggest one being anyone middle aged or above) and they even speculate about the possibilities of legal action, good luck firing them at all, justified or not.

It's not that surprising.

Taiwanese commentators on both sides of their political aisles have noted that Ukraine and Russia are both exporters of food and fertilizer.

According to them, both exports will be severely affected. Buyers of food from Ukraine (and probably Russia) would be Middle East and Africa. Fertilizer prices will keep going up.

Effects of the war is most likely affect the poor in the middle east and africa the most. We'll probably see more inflated prices instead of outright shortages.

> Restaurants in New York (county) are spotless.

They most assuredly are not. At least the ones I've worked in. I did a few months at a sandwich place where the owner would smoke while assembling sandwiches with his bare hands. I've never worked in SF so I can't comment on what it's like there.

Don't even get me started on those takeout only ghost kitchens. A lot of times they are running out of people's houses, rinsing lettuce in bathtubs.

If you think that's gross you should see how it's handled on the distribution end. Pallets of chicken breast sitting for hours in the summer sun and then served that evening.

The process in drug discovery is: invitro work, animal models (zebrafish, mice, rats), clinical trials, release to public. It is completely standard for work to be done in mice, and to dismiss it in this way is a nothing burger.

There is a piece of truth in that "animals models don't always pan out", but that's the state of the art whether we like it or not.

My point is, if you start the criticism at "mice model, opinion rejected", you are rejecting nearly all basic bioscience.

Active shooter training is what happens when you try to make active shooting situations happen never again, and yet people stand in your way such that they keep happening over and over and over again, year after year, decade after decade. Columbine was 1999. And it's not just standing in the way such that we do a little bit at a time and act cautiously and conservatively in implementing changes to preserve everyone's rights, but standing in a way such that absolutely any action whatsoever is impermissible.

At some point if your goal is to protect children who are subject to active shooter situations (which in fact do happen), then perhaps training people to make the best of them when they inevitably occur is all we can do, given the political climate. When a school full of first graders turns up shot dead and literally nothing is done, maybe active shooter training doesn't seem like a bad idea. This massive over-response is a reaction to the preceding massive under-response.

If you really don't want active shooter training to be a thing, make active shooters a thing of the past. Other places don't have this problem. If you want to make a change, call your congress people, and don't vote for them if they won't support sane gun measures, even if they're from a party you typically vote for.

Isn't it much cheaper just to get a beefy workstation with fast SSD and enough RAM so everything's in RAM. Maybe there's occasional waits but it's very short, most coding becomes super fast also with e.g. Visual Studio.
They certainly aren't perfect proxies for humans, but they have a lot of advantages:
1) They reproduce quickly.
2) We have inbred several different strains so that every member is genetically identical to all the others of the same sex.
3) There is a huge amount of scientific knowledge already accumulated on mice, and the inbred strains specifically. Different developmental checkpoints, what healthy looks like across basically every dimension.

These first two make it possible to do repeatable studies at relatively low costs. The latter allows you to do things like knock out or replace a gene and see see what impacts it has biologically and you can find out in weeks instead of years. Research mice the way biologists reduce their build times.

Ok, let's cut the crap. Is Kaspersky a dirtbag or not? I suspect not, but it is an unfortunate accident he was born in and runs his company from Russia, the government of which is a dirtbag, so, correct me if I am wrong, Kaspersky must be a dirtbag by association, but especially for discovering Stuxnet. Believable, but I think the real reasons Kaspersky is persona non grata is due to having discovered Stuxnet, and Kaspersky Lab suspected of uncovering secret US cyberweapons in the future.

I am a patriot, but even I don't appreciate being lied to by my government. It would be good if the next best cyber security firm and software was half as good as Kaspersky's. But I suspect not.

It isn't. The number of children that die in school shootings is an average of 35 per year. That is of course horrible, but in comparison to other sources of childhood death it's tiny. 150 a year die of food allergies. Eight are killed by lightning every year. Does lightning get 1/4 as much attention as school shootings despite causing 1/4 as many deaths?

Even comparing, very specifically, intentional firearm homicide of children outside of school to school shooting deaths shows that, per hour, schools are fantastically safer than when kids aren't at school. The US has a gun violence problem but school shootings are just a barely-audible echo of it.
Being a utilitarian, I don't think that lying (or anything else) is inherently immoral, and you can only judge the morality of intent based on intended and actual outcomes. So in that case, I'd say you've correctly assessed that your South Africa story is immoral for propagating a racist trope for your own entertainment, which could lead to confirming people's negative biases about South Africa and the (implied in your comment) racial conflict there.

As far as lying in general goes: you may be triggering conversation you find interesting, but have you considered the effect your lies have on the people who read your comments, believing they're truthful? You're giving people false confidence in your totally-made-up opinions thinking they're expert testimony. That can be harmful if people internalise the lies you tell and act based upon them. Not that anybody's making a framework out of just your posted comments, but we all absorb and interpret the information we take in and that can affect our perspectives.

As for whether I lie on the internet? No, and I don't get the appeal. If I want to trigger an interesting conversation, I don't feel the need to pretend to be somebody I'm not: I can just ask pertinent questions or state my actual perspective and bring about conflicting replies that way.
All of them were won by fierce mass labor movements, which were then aggressively suppressed and wiped from the curriculums during the McCarthyist era, prior to the neoliberal era. And those hard-won protections have been eroding ever since. These things don’t just fall from the sky.

Since you mention “work hour limits”, look up the Haymarket Strike in Chicago that won the 40 hour work week for private employees in the US, but not before police shot and killed 4 peacefully striking workers.

Having multiple persona's as a way to hack around the typical omnibus recommendation of content is a pretty good solution. Obviously it would be better if social media sites gave us a little more control.

Firefox containers could make this process pretty easy, actually. Go to twitter, right click on twitters tab, "open in container". It will switch you to your alt, just like that.

I guess that's a fair question, as it does seem to suffice for most people. I have a few reasons:

* Extensive use of Chinese sites, which are quite a mess. I think the risks of visiting that part of the Internet are much greater than someone engaged in more typical usage.

* Features like firewall are useful for things other than protecting against direct hacks, and I use it to ensure privacy and occasionally even to simulate failures when testing my code. I think that Defender has such a thing, but less sophisticated?

* Probably just being more paranoid than most, having lived through an era when less protection was available, and having to un-hack family members.

ETA: also, it's good to have a different sort of protection when the majority is all homogeneous. Windows Defender is the obvious high-value target for hackers. Same kind of weakness and monoculture.
