Even the U.S. had exile, though it slowly faded away. By the 1970s it seems to have disappeared as a formal punishment, though people might sometimes get suspended sentences on the condition they leave the state. This happened to a family member of mine--given a suspended sentence (enough for prison, not jail) and admonished by the judge that if he ever returned to the state he'd have to do the time. (Said family member never did return. They weren't a resident there, anyhow, but a resident of an adjacent state.) Today it would be considered unconstitutional, which is a real shame as forcing someone to leave what might be an enabling environment (e.g. running with a bad crowd) is often the best remedy for all involved, particularly the person misbehaving.
>a federal government is a single body of policy which states opt into (more or less permanently).

I'm unclear as to why you're implying that the EU doesn't fit this definition, because the EU can be literally described under those terms.
Also, group insurance rates are often lower than the rates an individual could purchase themselves.
The v is log scale, which does make some sense in terms of output volume. ;)
The average life expectancy of hunter-gatherers is low mostly due to high infant mortality followed by mortality of those under 15 years. If you live to 15 you have a pretty good shot of living to 60. The modal age at death is 68-78 [0].

Notably, the health span of hunter-gatherers may be longer. Those who survive have healthier older years. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia are very rare in H-G culture at ages where they become widespread in subsistence culture.

A bizarrely uncharitable non-takedown, and completely besides the point as well?
We are one of the customers that has been restored with access to systems restored about 24 hours ago. We have some lingering but relatively minor issues with some plugins and the like but there doesn't appear to be any data loss and performance is healthy.
And there’s lag unaccounted for in the anecdote. I’m one of those apparent hypocrites who asked for a mini but doesn’t have one—because I haven’t purchased any new phone yet; my current one still works fine.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some correlation between preference for a less obtrusive phone and avoiding superfluous consumption.
Sometimes, war is necessary and early action prevents a far worse outcome. You could argue that if Hitler had been dealt with earlier (e.g. when he invaded Poland), he would not have been able to get started causing such a rampage. But fear and inaction by other European powers at the time caused him to be emboldened by early success, and to pick off neighbors one by one.

I would argue Russia is in a very similar position today, and if we don't act decisively now, we're just enabling Putin to do far more damage in the long run. The risk of WWIII and a nuclear exchange does exist, but the risk of on inaction is just as high.
That was an important thing yes. But Bangladeshi nationalism has its roots in the language movement: https://m.theindependentbd.com//post/259643
Don't agree. Corruption "at all levels" requires coordination and/or a common stance towards it. Finding that in an organization of 3 people is not always so hard; finding it in an organization of 30k people is almost impossible.
In the context of the novel, the reasoning doesn't matter much - either way, an individual is led to act in an unnatural way to appease the institution.
Where it really feels like it started was the Democratic exuberance when they got the Presidency + House + 60 senate seats + complete collapse of neo-conservativism in 2009.

Remember “The Death of American Conservativism.” There was a line in there about how it was hard to imagine Republicans using obscure parliamentary tricks to prevent popular legislation from passing.
The problem is that the banking system carries a large systematic risk of going bankrupt all at once, and deposit insurance is not adequate to deal with that. The real guarantor of your deposits is the Fed not the FDIC, and fortunately they did a bang up job of it last time around.

Ifixit has some guides. [1] Others commenters in past threads have said it's not quite as easy as it looks, so I haven't pulled the trigger yet. But I'll probably give it a try when the battery life is down to 3 days. Right now I'm at 4-5, depending on if I remember to enable Airplane Mode at night.

My fallback option right now is the Fossil hybrid smartwatch, which has the same basic functions and better battery life (10+ days), but is much harder to read. The screens also apparently get messed up by sun exposure...so I'm not anxious to jump on that bandwagon.

If anyone else has tips on replacing the battery, please share with the rest of us!

I wonder how it will treat the (a bit over 50Hz) PAL and (a bit under 60Hz) NTSC Commodore 64 s-video signals - will it generate a DVI signal at these rates, or adjust the frame timing by either tearing or skipping/duplicating as necessary.

Well indulge us and attempt it.

Wyze isn't doing so hot, after just forcing everyone onto a subscription to maintain the functionality they thought was included with the product they purchased. To their credit, they let you 'subscribe' at $0/mo, but the pressure to pay was quite strong. They also didn't message it well — my brother got email warnings, but I (a longtime customer) received none.
Let's be real, if Elon buying 9% of your company makes you 'super stressed' you are probably in out to lunch peacetime mode anyways and need to be shaken up.

The average level of happiness might be higher in hunter-gatherer societies, but the population they can support is far lower, so the total amount of well-being is also far lower.
Pebble story heard second hand.

A major client executive, who was a huge Pebble fan, essentially forced us to connect the mobile apps we were doing for them (iOS, Android, and even Windows Mobile) to the Pebble. The Pebble SDK was C based, so it was rough finding experience from anyone on the existing mobile platforms. Eventually we got it bridged from the Pebble mobile app. Along the way we learned a bizarre fact about the C compiler used by the SDK: it didn't support conditional short circuiting, so there were a variety of bizarre bugs that we had to go back and find once we figured it out.
I will have to go looking. The conversion one would go great with my analog dial metrology gear, most of which was made with imperial units.

There is also another differentiator - companies buy insurance for all employees (i.e. in "bulk") when if everyone were to buy it privately, insurance companies will have to sell it in "retail". As is always the case with any business - bulk customers have preferential treatment, lower prices, better terms, you name it. Retail always pays it in full. While current employer based insurance model is broken, I don't think goin "full retail" will change the situation much. We'll end up in a situation similar to wireless service market - 3 major players with overpriced plans and lots of cheap MVNOs that stop having any coverage 5 miles down the highway.
One fun and counterintuitive effect: because it takes a train a lot longer to provide as many passenger-miles as an airliner, the per-passenger-mile cost as a share of the capital equipment value is much higher. Ditto the per-passenger-mile cost of crew wages.

The fact that the equipment and the crews are absolutely cheaper doesn’t help ticket prices as much as you’d think. Time is money.
Except there's a real cost to exodus, and complaining (along with a measurable-yet-easily-reversible impact like turning off sales) is an easy first step that only costs the temporary sales loss. So on the off chance enough people complaining and pausing sales causes the company to change their mind, an exodus that forces the sellers to do a bunch of store-rebuilding would have turned out to be a very inefficient method.

It's a statement trying to get the attention of the company. Nobody is claiming it's guaranteed to work. It's a desperate act for before you bail entirely.

I think it also matters why and how you do it.

Around 2019, I had a new PC at work and wanted to try out Linux, after more than 10 years of macOS. I had wanted to try a TWM for a while, and the Mac implementations felt... weird. I used to use Linux with KDE as a daily driver up until around 2008, when I got my first MBP, so I was somewhat familiar with the possible quirkiness of it.

After the initial shock of "how do I do anything?!", I started loving it more and more, to the point that whenever I went back to the Mac, I got annoyed by all the animations, window borders taking up half the screen, etc. I went hunting to disable animations. It helped somewhat, but not completely.

I still love the Mac, especially the hardware, and how smooth an 8 yo laptop still is. But I guess that, to your point, I wasn't thrust into this unfamiliar environment, I went and looked for it, and was able to do it progressively. I also recognize I was lucky in that my computer was fully supported out of the box, and haven't had to fiddle with obscure settings or anything.

The bill was written to ban discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for any age - not just K-3.

The rationale for the law is also seriously suspect - https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/06/politics/fact-check-desantis-...

Simply put, this law is a solution looking for a problem and being pushed by a politician seeking reelection and ultimately - the presidency.

I guess it comes down to the fact that no one gets paid to fix anything.

Visual redesign, sure, the client will pay for that.

Fixing an existing visual design when problems are reported? Nope.

And as @gwern mentioned, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30961582 , the problems won't get reported.

The contract didn't include ongoing maintenance or instrumentation to detect problems. So we can't do it.
As stated already, there would be no time, but maybe they would bankrupt me.
What would your personal "VP of Engineering Hiring Cheatsheet" look like?
(ex Pebbler here) Pebble had - I believe - the most stable Bluetooth stack out there. This was due to two things:

1. Extremely talented Bluetooth engineers. Chris and Martijn were second to none.

2. Very good diagnostics tools built in house. When a user complained of connectivity issues, we could take a snapshot of the state of their Bluetooth stack. This gave us amazing insights into what was going wrong- more often than not we found that iOS and Android were doing something unexpected (we had lots of workarounds for their bugs).
FWIW a few of us went on to start a company to build more of those hardware debug tools: Memfault (W19).
> This sentiment is 100% not true.

Hate to break it to you but it's true. Been living in 3 different European countries for 25 years and the common perception is that these loud, ignorant tourists making fools of themselves are from the US by default.

As painful as it may sound to you in our eyes America is now a third world country with a Gucci belt.
Why didn't they go back to their backers and ask if they'd be willing to pay a higher price? I would have been happy to pay 2x what I had pledged. When the Kickstarter launched I anticipated (based on how much I'd paid at Target for my Time Steel 1) that the price for the much more capable Time Steel 2 would have been significantly higher, like $350-$400.

I'd have been willing to pledge that much, and if it meant keeping the company alive I might have paid even more.
Where I'm at, in the North, recent weather has only increased climate control costs due to colder winters and hotter summers. I can't say for sure it's global warming at work.

William's Nordhaus models for which he has received the Nobel prize predate the millennium, and have been superceded since then by much better models. His models are highly problematic, now that we know that you cannot extrapolate the average temperature on GDP due to increased amplitude, and for many other reasons. That is why the Nobel committee awarded it not for the current relevance of the results, but for the pioneering nature of the research.
I know that for me the apple watch is what I wanted the pebble to be. I can often leave my phone behind but still have music, podcasts, email, twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and a variety of news apps all available.
"He noted that distributed networks "can protest and overthrow, but never govern.""

That's exactly right. Except it seems, so far, like those who effectively control the networks by acting as intermediaries between its users, can suppress protest and protect themselves from being overthrown.

I've had to use Mac at my last two jobs, before that was Linux for 8 years. I use Linux at home. I just do enough to get by and get my job done in Mac. I know its a bad mentality and I should work to improve my Mac experience, but I just don't enjoy working in that O.S.

Even if I spent the time honing in the UI and terminal. Home Brew is just terrible compared to Apt. That's really the game for me. Maybe my next gig will let me use Linux, but Mac seems to be becoming the only show in town for nix-based development teams and its just sad.
The browser really breaks the paradigm. I think the ideal would actually be a browser that had a window per site and an “application” per category of site.

I'm a developer at a large company, I've been able to build complex solutions myself, and I have many ideas to write since young. I tried several times to draft novels but have never been able to write a single whole page. Painting a world with words is really challenging.
That's not the same as what you were claiming.
> Am I completely out on a limb here?

Yes. The idea that you can use "many businesses believe in concept X, including lots of banks" as a metric for determining the value of an idea is absurd on its face.
>I wish things were more like in the physical world, where you might have hundreds or thousands of "etsys". Each having a unique vibe, products on offer, and so on. Each of these individual stores would have a reasonable and stable margin and relatively stable group of customers. They can all co-exist.

Can it though? Even in the physical world, larger firms tend to buy up the smaller unique firms and turn them into monotonous big business. Eventually everything becomes McDonalds and Wal-Mart-- also easy for buyers because they only have to go to one familiar place. As much as people hate that, it does appeal to the natural desire for simplicity and repetition. Even though you can find obscure and out of the way stores to shop, most of the time people just go to the big box store they know already
There can be corruption at all levels without coordination.

Example: greed.

There is such a thing as unorganized corruption. Example, in lots of third world countries where their infrastructure and systems are so bad it breeds corruption. No need for a top down version of it.
For me, duplicating a repo usually means i want the two different things side by side at the same time, rather than a single directory switching between branches.
Unlike other replies I don't see why you shouldn't block Russian IPs if that's a message you want to send. Which other regimes are you currently sending similar messages to, out of curiosity?
Amtrack moves just shy of 17 million passengers in a year. Airlines in the US do that in 8 days. That's works out to roughly 45x as many passengers, with only what, 6x the subsidies?
Making it even easier to implement: Commercial airline weights are carefully tracked for safety and efficiency purposes already, as are fuel levels. All the information needed to levy such a tax is already available.
That was the behavior in python2 and it was changed for good reason.

So, I have the opposite problem when I go back to using Linux/Windows: I mentally file all my windows into application buckets and it makes the alt-tab switcher for not-macOS seem to pick a random window.
Ah! OK, I don't agree with you in general, but you inadvertently brought up a good point. There's the perception of Americans online and that in person, and I'm sure Russia has done it everything it can to make sure we're hated abroad as much as possible.

You have a bunch of friends online who think Americans are all fat, loud, obnoxious and ignorant. Join the club. Most Americans think that as well.

Definitely another thing we need to focus on.

It's a trap! SB1310 was never repealed and is still in effect. The Democrats are just updating what the Republican-required sign says!

The Republican governor of Illinois, 22 years ago [1]:

> SB 1310 provides that a sign shall be placed on each pump by the motor fuel retailer that states; "As of July 1, 2000, the State of Illinois has eliminated the State's share of sales tax on motor fuel and gasohol through December 31,2000. The price on this pump should reflect the elimination of the tax." This sign shall be at least 4 inches by 8 inches and any retailer failing to display this sign shall by guilty of a petty offense and be fined $500 for each retail premises violating the sign requirements.

The games these jokers play. You just know that someone has been patiently waiting for decades to bring this stupid sign back into the news. I'm sure that someone on the Republican side of this years' governor race is connected to George Ryan. I can't wait to find out who! In the mail today was a glossy 8x10 card telling me that Republican candidates A and B are secretly Democrats but candidate C is the one true conservative (not mentioning that he is being bankrolled by billionaire hedge fund guy whose campaign contributions have included "Obama for America" and "Hillary Clinton for President").

I'm going to go through a lot of popcorn this election cycle!

I think sites are their account management stuff. Sounds like they deleted user accounts and not actual data. Notice that only native products are down and not acquisitions. They probably just haven’t migrated those yet.
>Apple M1 Pro (8 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores)

Fwiw I'm not sure anyone really thinks of the M1 in terms of performance vs efficiency cores, but rather in terms CPU and GPU cores (and maybe Neural cores if they're doing AI). For example, "8 CPU Cores and 16 GPU Cores", or "10 CPU Cores and 24 GPU Cores", or the like. But not even Apple's own store really makes an upfront differential between performance and efficiency cores.
1) For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of the way that the UI is implemented in Netflix on the desktop. Accidentally hovering over the Like button covers the more useful Add to My List functionality.

2) Netflix used to have a very good rating system: the traditional 5 stars that everybody understood. I'm not sure if the controversies over Amy Schumer special or the Cuties show or something else was what really caused Netflix to nix that, but it seems dumb that the 5-star system that everybody is familiar with for movies somehow can't work on Netflix. Oh well.
Just a suggestion, but please lead with what the company does, not a link to the blog of some engineering micro-bubble. That really gives a bad impression. Many folk here are scanning for companies they want to work for, not tech teams doing "tech stuff". That's everywhere

Retired equipment lives on in new physics experiments (2019)
It just seems like there's a paucity of signal from which Netflix could come up with anything intelligent. Movies are many hours long, and there are many reasons I could be watching something. What does it mean that I allowed a movie to play to completion? Was I even paying attention? Did I decide I hated it 3/4s of the way through, but finished it just because I cared about the plot?

TikTok, on the other hand, has way more data. Things like time-to-swipe, shares, comments presumably form the basis of some sentiment metric.
