I view the reliance upon the idea of status as a low-status activity. Low status or high status only emanate when you're playing the status game, but it's not a game that you necessarily need to play.

And if you're not playing the game, low-status or high-status doesn't matter; they're just different colors.

Nothing wrong with playing the game either.
Some of his voters were sick of feeling like they were looked down on and treated like shit, a message that was repeatedly amplified and propagandized. It’s an important distinction. Perception is not reality.

Are there “coastal elites” who look down on “flyover country?” Sure. No group is perfectly free of prejudice. It works the other way too; I have family that sneer at educated idiots, latte drinking city liberals and so on.

Try to keep in mind, who or what is emphasizing and amplifying these fault lines, and why? Why is it important to keep insisting on binary labels and othering? From keeping people angry and, thus, engaged?
I don't think so. Those words express how they feel right now at that moment. They put into words hopelessness they feel at that moment. Expressing it is part of process.

Forcing them to lie about their real feeling at that moment won't help them overcome anything. It will only make them and anyone who is watching not to trust you with their feelings.
I overheard a colleague talking to another colleague about it, and what he said was "this is a christian country they're invading!"

I privately raised an eyebrow at the time, but I later understood what he meant and probably what the media is saying: they might be coming for us next, i.e. other culturally christian countries.

We tolerated/ignored the Syrian conflict because we could not see ourselves in them.

To be clear, this is a book extract, not something she wrote for the guardian, but for someone who picked up her book to read.

She says many of you. Why are you including yourself in the many, if you already knew what she has to say?

Why are you so upset by a comedian writing about her experiences that you have to engage with it at all?

I just don't see a sneer. I just took a bit and reread the while thing. What I read is frustration, not superiority.

I don't think she's looking down on folks who haven't had her struggles. I think she wants people to understand them, perhaps so they can be more understanding to autistic folks in their lives.

But I don't think I'll convince you to see it my way, so I'll drop this.

It's funny that everyone says "that's not the reason why it got banned".

Yes. Well all know that. We all know that it was some mistake by some AI. Even the author knows that.

But we also know that the only way to get customer support from YouTube is to get some social media outrage.

It's so common, Google should put on their website: "If you need customer support, please try to create some outrage on social media. We do not provide other channels of customer support."
The problem is that private companies that become a de facto standard for content sharing can't decide unilaterally what users can publish and what not. We need new laws, the same laws that should limit what you can publish: is it illegal? Then it's banned, otherwise it is allowed.
I can relate to that very much. Your former friend sounds exactly like one of my friends with whom I am trying to not end friendship and be as empathetic and helpful as I can be.

100% this!

Telegram channels and Substack seem to be super popular for this sort of propaganda. I also did a technical analysis of many of the websites shared in these channels and found:

- they use very heavy trackers

- keylogging for webpages is common

- they all use privacy shields for `whois` info

- third party cookies

You can find some of these if you want to take a look in https://github.com/Langer81/Summer-REU-Research

These automated algorithms that ban content are really very poor and they make a lot of mistakes. The review process being an equal mess doesn't help. Stuff like this just looks intentional at this point, all the more reason for people to start using software like Nextcloud and federated video alternatives to Youtube. Every one of this 0 cents business model companies is doing the same thing, none of them has an algorithm that does anything but annoy genuine customers.

About #1: it takes about a month of sim racing for these muscles to develop. After a while, you even forget it used to be hard.

About #2: That's why you have special seats and rigs in sim racing. Your position is more at an angle and not fully vertical. Never expect a normal gaming chair to be of help for this.

I wonder if that explains why people who were chronologically younger still look so old in old photographs.
So far I don’t think I’ve expressed any opinions that could be classified as xenophobic. I assure you that your accusation of inexperience with top STEM graduate programs is misplaced. If I had to posit a “solution”, I would first ask what the problem is. It seems to be “not enough Americans with advanced STEM education”. Well, clearly there are two ways to go about solving it. One is to import labor, but that clearly reduces incentives and makes the problem worse, so you’d also need to lower the cost and increase the supply of STEM education for Americans. This could be budget-neutral if H1B was an auction and/or salary floor rather than a lottery. I admit it seems a bit ridiculous to wring hands over a few PhDs when there are armies of H1Bs accepted on salaries that qualify for housing assistance, to say nothing of unregulated immigration. So yes, let’s have them all, as many as American businesses will pay a significant premium for. And maybe let’s also have American tax dollars spent on economically-valuable education for American students exclusively.
There are types of therapy that specifically work with grief (ranging from woo-woo to clinical). I think they are worth looking in to if you are debilitated by grief. Yes, taking time to process tragic/traumatic events is normal, but you should not forfeit the rest of your life to them. Not to be "that guy", but on the more adventurous (and imo more effective) side of things is ayahuasca, kambo, mdma, and/or mushrooms.

Some places have phone numbers that are variable length and can start with a zero. If you store these as numbers, this will drop the leading zero and result in an incorrect phone number.

Phone numbers aren’t numbers. Numerical values can be written as sequences of digits, but not all sequences of digits are numerical values.
Thank you for that self analyzing! I got lost on that part, so will now stop writing ping 127.1 just to save four bytes. I've always felt that people learnt things by seeing that, but now I know I'm too lazy to bother learning myself.
This here is why I think all these platforms that become the norm/de facto monopolies should be classed as "public utility" and be subject to audits on takedowns, neutrality and such.
At this point it feels like producers perhaps should boycott YouTube and go to better platforms.

Maybe having one’s own website and use Wistia or similar for hosting the videos?
I've read your comment a few times and I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

In the article she talks about people being suspicious of science or other authorities. She says its that lack of trust that we need to deal with not the difference in opinion.

And you seem to be saying, this is bulls*it, I don't trust this person?

Have I misunderstood your comment or the article?

In theory in the EU there is a provision under GDPR to have the right of a human review of algorithmic decisions.

However in practice big tech companies either respond saying it doesn’t apply, or that it already has been reviewed by a human - which of course there’s no way to disprove from the outside.

MD education in the US takes so long because students are required to spend four of those eight years studying something other than medicine.

Nurses actually study medicine as undergraduates before graduate NP education, so one could argue that NPs have more education in medicine.

A plain MBA can be likened to a vulture over a late-stage dessicating corpse. Too extreme, sure, but MBAs rarely, if ever, pay off for the company hiring them. It's just that the blame and the losses get distributed. You can't avoid MBAs, they're an invented, coerced requirement like lawyers. Getting sued by another lawyer because you don't have some guy running defense for you (as long as you fill his pockets -- indeed the lawyer against you would be ready to bat FOR you if the circumstances were right) is ridiculous.
> Google needs an appeal process. They have too much of a responsability, they can't do this to people. If they don't want to do it, the law must force them to set one up.

They "have" one, it's mostly useless if you are small channel, akin to a fake panic button. They have that responsibility because they have a huge audience. Only laws could coerce them into having a real appeal process but then it might not be economically viable at their scale either.

This is a complex issue, a significant amount of people have their livelihood tied to some google service, in subtle ways, but Google also provides these services mostly at no direct cost for them. I don't think that internet paradigm with last though.
This is not true. This is both fallacy and a lie.

Then you and I agree on the exact same point. The OP was wrong to say "We had to drag conservatives kicking and screaming..."

There are no "conservatives", there are "conservative views".

America has a stereotype that British people have bad teeth. They also have a stereotype that poor American "hillbillies" have even worse teeth. The stats suggest that on average the Brits have better teeth but I'd guess Dentists can make more money by moving from there to the country with the worse teeth on average and helping the Americans with good teeth have even better teeth.

Nice. I love that the OP has so many themes to pick from but repeatedly trying 3rd-party color schemes over the years only made me realize how many criteria have to be met for a color scheme to actually work for me in practice (apparently I'm very picky when it comes to that). I have yet to find one that beats vim's `default` theme. The only tweak I made is to not use underline for the current line but a slightly darker background gray and a bold font face.
This provision is for important stuff like job, rent, credit and the like. Look for proposals in the Digital Services Act, this might be more appropriate place to introduce moderation and ban standards.

Part of the problem with the current monopoly is that we're already assuming our choices are NPs vs MDs, as opposed to some other professional identities, with other educational paths, that don't exist because of the monopoly. It's distorted the discussion by shaping our expectations about what's possible.

In any event, med schools are now moving towards 1.5 or even 1 year of course training, there's pressure to compress background as much as possible. The difference between, say, a PA with four years of practice and a second year resident is increasingly difficult to distinguish. This is increasingly reflected in staffing demands.

I don't think the MD model is obsolete, but I do agree that the current anticompetitive system is.

If anyone has decent experience in C#/.NET and/or graphics programming, you are welcome to join the developer team of the Stride game engine.

https://github.com/stride3d/stride

The code base is already mature and very professional. The quality standards are fairly high, but that's a nice challenge and you can even learn a lot, depending on your level of experience.

As for the history, Stride was developed commercially by Silicon Studio for about 10 years but couldn't complete with the big two on that level. So it was open-sourced about 3 years ago and the main developer is still maintaining it, but he has a full-time job. The team isn't very big yet, but quite capable people.

It's a great product and the only truly open-source C# game engine with a high-end render engine and proper asset pipeline. The shader system is the best I've ever seen, it's absolutely mind-blowing.

Let me know if you want to learn more about it... Or hop onto the discord server and have a chat: https://discord.gg/f6aerfE
Funny how these companies started out with open source software as the base of their products, and are now pulling up the ladder behind them.

The question was directed to fgonzag and about what they had seen. Have you actually seen this happen to Interstate Bakeries or have you read about it in a paper?
Which defeats the whole purpose of posting it on YouTube, getting people to see your content.
Disagreed; even if you get that person with a 6-figure salary they'll get bogged down in political and/or technical bikeshedding and won't be able to make any progress.

For the "year of the Linux desktop" to happen you'll need dozens/hundreds of these 6-figure employees at every level of the stack (from kernel to desktop environment to apps) to be able to build a coherent system from scratch and being able to ignore/work around all the BS and wastes of time that currently plagues the Linux distro world.

I do believe you'll be successful to an extent, though whether the result can still be called a "Linux desktop" as opposed to something more like Android (Linux kernel but non-standard GUI stack) will be up for debate.

Ask HN: 3k museums submitting data. How?
I'm helping with a project that will see ~3k small museums submitting their collections data to a central data lake. It can be assumed that most museums struggle with technology and have little / no resource in-house. The data itself varies from an xls / CSV file to a database dump, to all flavours of thing in-between. File size: almost nothing all the way up to maybe 100mb. The files will change regularly, so the solution will need to cater for this.

My questions are twofold:

First, what options do I have on the data collection side? Should we hook into something familiar like Dropbox or are there other seamless / easy to manage ways of requesting a local data sync? Making a form on a submission website was our first thought but data transfer is likely to be slow / impossible for some museums so some kind of desktop file-watcher seems less brittle, maybe?

Second: I know I haven't given nearly enough information for detail, but are there existing technologies on the receiving end that could ingest disparate, non-mapped, schema-less data of all flavours? Should we look at something like Node Red or Parabola do so some mapping, or are there other generic data receiving technologies we should be aware of that can cope with a multitude of data types, shapes, sizes?

I realise this isn't enough information for a complete answer but even some links / hints / ideas of what to look out for would be appreciated. Thanks, HN :-)

a union is not an unalloyed good for the employees. I also worked at a unionized grocery for about 3 months. At our shop, it was clear that the union was set up to protect the senior employees at the expense of the junior employees. There were about 10-ish people on the checkout stands during my shifts, 4 of them were employees who had been working there for 10+ years, and 6 of them were people who had been working there for less than a year. The senior employees worked maybe 15% of their shift when it was particularly busy, otherwise they'd have "meetings" in the break room or hang outside smoking. The junior employees were worked hard and burned out and left.
