Yeah. Too many articles waste too much of my time. They want to make me go down two or three screens before they bother to tell me the interesting part, but the HN comments tend to center on that part.

And with a bit of luck, those other jobs would contribute to society in other ways. The question the parent was trying to answer was whether having those people drive to their TSA jobs was a net good, measured in terms of "lives saved" which is the TSA's own metric of success - in other words, does it "pull its own weight", given the sunk cost of the commute?

>What about the 2nd iraq war?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_the_Iraq_War

The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly for the first time last night that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal.

All the middle east wars by US including the millions murdered, raped, tortured by US was illegal according to UN.

10 days PTO 1st year. 7 paid holidays, and 6 flex days (sick, floating holiday)

15 days 2nd year on.

Microsoft gives you 15 days from year 1, 7 holidays and 10 sick days which you can use just for "mental health".

So Microsoft is definitely better but it's not huge. Microsoft has WAY better 401k and free health benefits for family etc.

I'm taking that all into consideration and yes, I'd make 50k+ more at Amazon and that would help me retire a bit earlier. I'm also not a homeowner currently, and houses here are insanely priced.

This goes back to our conversation upstream: nobody is saying that there shouldn't be security at airports. You shouldn't be allowed to bring a gun onto a plane, and our security systems should be sufficient to handle that case.

The actual items under dispute are: (1) what is the TSA's domain (anti-terrorism? catching personal amounts of drugs? guns?), and (2) why should we put up with all of the theater that isn't making us any safer?

Interesting, I've seen the claim of NC induced tinnitus a few other times. In terms of noise induced hearing loss it the canceling should not be an issue (since in the worst case of a complete misprediction you get only a doubling in intensity which), but since no canceling is perfect maybe the residual ends up adversely affecting the auditory pathways at a neurological level somehow.

It doesn't matter. You could always still buy everything in Iran regardless of what's sanctioned. Engineering firms were actually a bit upset because even though they wanted to buy licenses for e.g. STAAD Pro, they were forced to use pirated copies.

China exuberates when private sector exuberates. It is equally naive on both the West (like your comment) and the CCP side to think that being supported by the government and government-sponsored industrial espionage is / was the why of China's economic miracle.

In the past 3 decades, it was repeatedly shown in China that government subsidies was only useful to a extent and created incredible amount of waste. The state-owned enterprises never hired or supported the most vibrant part of the community (middle classes in urban areas).

The success of companies in China, like in the rest of the world, can be attributed to the wits and lucks of their founders.

TBH, that is why the future of China looks grim to me. The current leadership seems unable to properly recognize the contribution of the private sector.

OTOH, people in the West looked at China, and imagined all the private enterprises are secretly owned by the government and the government picked winners / losers. That was simply not the winning formula in the past 30 years.

I can have a longer essay to establish this with data and examples, but it is too late. Probably save it for another day.

As far as the money, it's hard to say, but I'm not a homeowner right now and houses have increased in value by 45% in my area in the last year, I'm not joking. I'm renting a house that was 1.2 million and is now 1.95 million, in two years. So higher comp is definitely a partial motivation to move, along with the boredom. But I don't want a ton more stress either, and my wife doesn't want to move to LCOL area really. So I'm having a really hard time with the decision.
So you’re saying that US intervention is a destabilizing influence? Can I show you my shocked face?
I did some research on this as part of my undergrad in the early 00's

I skimmed the article but it seems to align with the literature back then. The thinking was during our evolution that high volume low frequency sounds would represent a precursor to mortal danger (avalanches, earthquakes, stampedes, thunder, wind) so we were attuned to secreting stress hormones in early response. Unfortunately, much of our urban built-environment is full of (human-made) constant low-frequency sources, although we appear to have adapted to a degree (HVAC systems in buildings, traffic, industrial process plants, airports and air traffic, explosions, concerts).

What isn't mentioned here, that I remember finding particularly concerning, was that while we seem to adapt, it's over our own time, as children we secrete more cortisol to low frequency noise than when we are adults... maybe some form of long term CBT I don't know.

I have no idea where my old paper is but I remember (and someone with more time might want to check/confirm this) one important study showed cortisol levels of children at schools close to Heathrow compared to out in the UK countryside and how this affected standardised testing. There were limitations, and of course you had to control for a range of factors, socio-economic, teaching staff etc, but there was some measurable negative effect (again no idea if this was repeated/corroborated).

The actual research I was doing was into our auditory perception of urban spaces. We took recordings of various urban settings and had participants listen and rate their emotional responses, if it felt "hot" or "cold" (and other adjective pairs), we also had them draw something to represent what they were listening too.

Our "findings" were pretty limited for a short undergrad project but it was interesting how we generally appreciate background chatter and live-music and generally fearful and cold from large flat surface reflected sound (empty city plazas).
It’s not that simple. Granting a right to die shifts a heavy burden of responsibility onto the patient. The current situation in most countries is that euthanasia is not legal. That means the patient’s family had a sense of obligation to support a terminal patient as best they can for as long as they can (and in geographies with universal healthcare “family” extends to a much broader definition of society). Granting the patient the right to die also puts them into a place where they have to make considerations about how much of a burden they are to those around them. The status quo allows a terminally ill patient to be selfish without guilt (well, modest amounts of guilt) because the alternative is illegal. It comes at the cost of undue suffering for many at the end. The alternative shifts this and risks people who’d have otherwise been able to eek out some continued enjoyment from what remains being forced into a thought decision out of a sense of guilt and obligation to not burden those around them.

It’s a complicated issue with lots of unsatisfying trade-offs. I’m personally conflicted about which path is better. It’s definitely not as simple as obvious as to which way is better that people want to imply.

This isn't a threat, this is a warning to be careful about how police and investigators operate with little knowledge of how the internet actually works. If someone were hosting a web server with child porn tunneled through your bore.pub service the authorities would only see bore.pub IPs in traffic logs, and they would definitely contact the DNS and IP block owner to figure exactly who runs that bore.pub server (you) and get a warrant to seize their computers.

At this point I'm comfortable in putting transformers as one of the top three developments in machine learning history. The way things are headed, they may turn out to be one of the most important "discoveries" ever made by humankind.

I'm extremely optimistic about how transformers can recursively speed up progress in multiple areas of science. Transformers are reaching a point where they can demonstrate reasoning abilities within the ballpark of what you might expect from a human. For certain qualities, they far exceed what any human is capable of. One of those areas being depth of knowledge. Transformers (e.g. RETRO) can incorporate a library of knowledge far larger than any human can. Soon we will improve and harness this ability to the point where it may be pointless to create a scientific hypothesis without first "consulting" a large language model that is able to process the entire library of scientific publications.

I think having control has a lot to do with it; even the most beautiful music is "noise" if you can't control when it starts and stops. Unpredictability also plays a part: it suddenly starts at a random time and okay, so your neighbour is playing loud music (or practising their instrument); is this going to be for 5 minutes? 30 minutes? 2 hours? All night?

It's very much a personal thing. My brother once lived above a pub, when I came over the pub was playing music and I asked him if the noise didn't bother him. He asked "what noise?" On the other hand he hates living next to a road, whereas I don't actually mind that so much.

Or another thing: some time ago X11 and Wayland were being discussed on HN and someone asked me if I didn't mind the tearing on X11. I had to find a YouTube video to find out what exactly it looks like. Now that I know what I looks like: yeah, X11 does tear a lot, I guess. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest, whereas other people are very bothered by it. I also watch 720p (and lower!) videos/movies and think it's just fine.

I guess my point is that different people are bothered by different things. Person A saying "it's not that bad" and person B saying "it's driving me up the walls" can both be true and genuine statements.

As for your instrument practice ... I don't have an answer. Details matter: are you practising 30 minutes or 2 hours every day? What instrument do you play? How well insulated is the building? Etc. As for "is it not a racket worth its trouble?", no, I don't think so, not if it's severely affecting your daily quality of life (and again, how much it affects people really depends on the person).
I have an Ubuntu PC that runs both Mythtv and Kodi that I use as a HTPC.

Recently did an update from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, which completely broke lirc which is the program that runs the IR remote.

So my unhappy partner was unable to use the remote in kodi until I finally worked out how to fix it (and every aspect of how they broke it).

Looks like they just changed the way it works for no useful reason. I had to manually set up every IR button again because the remote name had changed from "mce" to "devinput-32". Why??

MythTV didn't work at all because for some reason the mysql bind address had changed so it couldn't access its own database.

Once I got that working, I discovered that the remote didn't work in mythtv either. They had changed the name of the ?file? they use to send button names. I had to make a symbolic link to the new name so the remote would work in MythTV. "sudo ln -s /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd". Why??

Also I had a button set up on the IR remote to shutdown kodi. That stopped working and took me more time to fix.

Kodi was also throwing some python errors, fixed by doing "sudo apt install python-backports.functools-lru-cache"

The Kodi database also got corrupted somehow, so some files weren't showing up until I deleted the database, which meant I lost the resume times on videos we were watching. I spent a fair bit of time googling and trying to fix the database but in the end, no matter what I did those files would not show if the database was active on my movies folder.

Also the Nvidia drivers needed to be reinstalled, but I expected that because that breaks with every single update.

So yeah, that was about a week of evenings to get it working back the way it was.
If you are not trying to persuade the other person, if you are only trying to describe, as non-judgementally and as objectively as possible, some context or situation, then you can't offend anybody. This is an axiom of Nonviolent Communication.

If you do end up offending somebody, it's because you veered away from the objective and started to put your subjective viewpoint into it. If you're describing your subjective viewpoint to another person, you're either looking to persuade them or to feel better about yourself (i.e. seeking empathy).
Eh?

Cookies have very little to do with any of the laws like GDPR in the EU.

The issue these laws cover is obtaining consent for using personal data for non-essential purposes.

Things like authentication are typically deemed to be "essential", and therefore do not require consent.

If you do something which does require consent, then you must ask for permission - regardless of what technology you are using to implement that (cookies or not).

This particular instance aside, what possible sane regulatory changes could discourage this sort of manipulation? Modern social media is poking holes in a system that reacts too slowly and too inconsistently when questionable actors stir the pot.

The only thing I can think of is a slower exchange, where trades happen on the order of days, or better yet weeks or months, where this sort of thing becomes a wash.

I have no interest investing in hype speculative bubbles, I'd rather place medium to long term bets on industry players. Or maybe the solution is just to stop reading the news?
The reality is folks valued his potential input. That said I think a board role was a bad fit. He'd have to agree not to acquire more stock (he could personally easily buy 51% of twitter - 4% of his net work probably).

Also, he's too strong minded.

A recap of his ideas:

* A limited edit button.
* Move it to a paid service
* No ads to avoid corp pressure to censor voices.

My guess - he'd be in a conflicted position if he ever wanted to start / do his own social network. And these changes are WAY outside of the comfort zone of FTC etc.

A very odd set of events and no explanation regarding Elon's change of mind. A pessimist would think that Elon has decided to go for a "hostile" takeover since he is no longer bound by the percentage holding cap. An optimistic would think that Elon had enough self-awareness to realize it would be an overall distraction for Twitter with little benefit.

It amuses me more than it should that the CEO of Twitter has posted an image of text (from the iOS Notes app?) to get around the Twitter character limit.
