I got a microstroke (lacunar TIA) as a result of the Astra Zeneca COVID booster (3rd vaccine I had, two others were pfizer).

You are right how people cannot imagine the impact it has on oneself. Headaches, inability to focus, head pressure, anxiety, among other things. The struggle is real, including the fear of getting a full blown stroke at any moment.
No problem, have fun.

You're going to run into issues with ocx files. You can search around for them online, but it's a real hassle downloading them to older versions of Windows because SSL support has moved on from what Windows 95/98/ME/2000 can handle.

I've found I can either hit the download without https from the Windows box, or copy them to an S3 bucket and use an http URL to download it out of the bucket.
Aside from appointing governors, what power does the president have over the federal reserve board? The president can direct/order the FCC to pursue a course of action, but as far as I'm aware, the president doesn't have executive authority over the fed's monetary policy.

Which uses the Plan 9 convention; the system the Go creators were exposed to. A good example of competing conventions of the past rearing itself in modern tools.

There is a reason we don't approve vaccines on an ad hoc basis in normal times. It's an emergency so you gotta take some risks. But trying to shut down dissent with THE SCIENCE IS SETTTLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is bullshit.
it refers to a somewhat poorly named concept known as reverse ETL, something we started working on back in 2018 with our product Census (getcensus.com). We launched it on HN in 2020, though it's come a long way since then :-) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23034642

Self-control and emotional maturity. I have to use it to keep from falling for other fantastical labels given to it in order to sell classes and books.
It seems pretty unlikely that things would get worse! The potential upside (higher wages, better hours, bathroom breaks) is significant and people are struggling to survive. So waiting a year seems overly cautious to me.
North Idaho here.

We have Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA is just across the river. Tons of references to them around here too.

Also, The Mullan trail came through here...so we have a lot of stuff named after that expedition

As well as the French trappers and Jesuit priests...
I think there are a lot of options. Across US states, counties, and townships, for example, there is a full spectrum of political positions literally w/r/t how money is collected (or not) and spent (or not)
Well, not everything is open source.
My point isn't that politicians are inherently better or more trustworthy than companies, but that you have more control over them. The amount of control as a community you can exert on a company beg enough to have a large influence in a community is minimal. The amount of control a community has over an elected official that oversees that community should be large.

There will be good companies and bad companies. There will be good politicians and bad politicians. One is easier to steer than the other.

Duty, loyalty and trust are good to have. What do you do if the large local company that has outsized influence on the community is lacking those? What do you do if the local elected officials are lacking those? Neither is easy to deal with, but I think one is a far more manageable problem.
I don't know why there is a big fish at the top of your website, but I like it a lot.
Reminds me of Hackers (the movie)
Just stating here that you'll almost never find Mullvad on a list of top vpns solely due to the fact that all of the top vpns are owned by the same company masquerading as separate ones and pays for all of those lists.

Thanks for open sourcing it.
> social significance of a film (e.g. made by a woman / featuring a woman in a lead role)

for a less divisive example: movies about the film or theatre industry get high marks and fit your example while the audience is left scratching their heads

The market was less established, so there was a lot more experimentation and people just trying to do completely random shit. That's why there are so many cool little tech artifacts from the 60s - 2000s. Now everything is cloud hosted, and web based. We know the form factors: phone, laptop, desktop, tablet. The market's solidified. What will work and what won't is a little more clear, or at the very least that's how people think about it. Nobody's really trying to do some kind of bespoke chip work for a calculator that doubles as a lighter anymore.
No clue, one moonshot people live more in a bubble and narrow their film selection?
It occurred to me that, beyond 512ppd, you could "synthesize" higher-res detail. I don't know how much of a cop-out that is though.

There may be >512ppd data though. IANAS (I am not a selenologist).
I am so much a product of this generation, I had forgotten so much of what this article mentions, but damn, this brought it back. I remember doing the exact punting scam, along with my first and only script kiddie DDOS back then (I was maybe 8 years old, and thought Bill Gates was my bully and that Linux was going to take over the world)

Tangent, I started work on remaking "You've Got Mail" a few months ago, with an updated ethos, focusing on decentralized web.

Looking at the mechanisms alone I think its pretty unlikely that film critics have not shifted over time.

The standard film critic job in the 80s/90s was a local newspaper. That meant your audience was men/women of various ages and political beliefs who happened to live in the same area. If you were a successful critic you had to write something that appealed to all of them. This was actually a vital service that people used to determine if a movie was good.

Now the typical movie critic is online and has an audience which probably has a singular viewpoint. This isn't bad - but makes it unlikely the critics with "everyman" sensibilities would do well. People who consume an above average amount of film reviews will have their views represented more.

Chuck Klosterman (who was once a local newspaper movie reviewer and now writes to a certain type of audience online) has written about this.
Your points are valid about there being truly unusual geopolitical factors right now which fuck up supply chains, shipping routes, and overall availability of goods.

But it's ignoring something much simpler: if you print more money, you're directly obfuscating supply and demand by devaluing your currency. The notion that it's not money printing because it's held by financial institutions is as credible as trickle-down economics. There's still more money in the system, and that system is purposefully using the extra cash to prop up the stock market. You know what the best hedge against unsustainable debt is? Devaluing the currency.

Yes, I am making some simplifications. If you really want to get into the details of quantitative easing in the US we can, but honestly it's just noise. You can't escape the concept of supply and demand no matter how opaque your policies are. The M2 money supply has had an enormous increase in just the past few years.

I admit I have not had a chance to look at all your links as of writing this comment.
Question: Are the system you using open standards (e.g. RESTful APIs)? Do they have Data Models that follow some sort of sensible standard that allow for interop with other systems via sensible mechanism systems?

A lot of the hell that is enterprise software is how systems talk to each other. I'll give an example. Project is started to bring data from Vendor A Product into Product from Vendor B. Vendor A claims system is "open" but there is no documentation outside of some cryptic .NET examples. Even when a successful connection is made, the data and data model makes no sense and nearly impossible to map to what users see in UI.

Vendor A gets a call. Vendor A repeats "open" and brings an "SME" to explain data model. SME is really a Sales Engineer who concludes Vendor A has another product that will expose the data in usable way. Start evaluating this product, and it turns there is a lot overlap between features in Vendor A new product and Vendor B's product. Plus, you still need to use .NET and a proprietary connection to get data from A -> B. Plus,Vendor A's new product does data transformations in a black box..nobody knows what exactly.

Vendor A and B are pointing fingers and each trying to make a case for why their product needs to do X features. Nobody understands this .NET library, so a consulting company is used to build data pipeline from Vendor A -> B.

Granted, a lot of the above wouldn't be acceptable today and a lot of these types of systems are going away and being replaced by ones that are actually designed to be interoperable with other systems. This type of story is hopefully going away sooner than later.

I use a lot of proprietary systems in my current job at extra-big company, but at least they use stuff like SQL, RESTful APIs, etc. I can understand our Data and how it maps. Those are transferable skills.

I can only hope that FAANG isn't building systems where everything is proprietary and make no sense to anybody outside of the Eng team that built them.
One counter-example to your second point is Don't Look Up

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dont_look_up_2021

55% Tomatometer, 78% audience score

My take with this movie is that the opposite of your #2 happened. Lots of regular folks who are concerned with global warming rated the movie highly, because they care about the political message it sends. Critics saw it as a pretty mediocre movie even though the message might be good.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do think it can go both ways.

EDIT: I looked again, and I realized the "Critic Consensus" and "Audience Says" sections on that page actually match my theory. For whatever that's worth.

Critic Consensus: Don't Look Up aims too high for its scattershot barbs to consistently land, but Adam McKay's star-studded satire hits its target of collective denial square on.

Audience Says: Although it can be heavy-handed with its messaging, Don't Look Up tackles important subjects with humor and heart.
> Those researchers are typically the ones I hire.

But there's no evidence that demonstrates either possibility (or if the reality is a 3rd, 4th or 5th possibility).
Not to mention a number of films who stopped the audience scores, decrying "review bombing". Some of these films were fine, while some were objectively bad (-cough- Ghostbusters reboot -cough-). I have a feeling (though it is unsubstantiated rumor) that there are payoffs in the critics circles for certain movies.
There are so many people becoming programmer who aren't passionate and hadn't written a line of code up until in college. Think MBA type jumping into Java and it leads to mediocrity all over -- agile + incremental mindset + do minimum + promotion oriented mindset
Another possibilty is that audience scores are easier to gamify via the use of bots relative to critic scores (which I assume are limited to identified critics who work for major media outlets). One way for a movie's PR/advertising group to generate buzz is to flood rt with positive movie reviews for example.

I suppose you could detect this by correlating individual movie advertising budgets with rt audience scores across the board?
Good podcast on unbundling reddit: https://thehustle.co/reddit-unbundling/
Heck the original Meat Boy flash game was basically just two or three people. And that alone was enough to get everyone interested.
"A very small minority of UX Researchers come to the correct conclusion, which is that most professional critics have to review every single movie"

Could you provide your sources? This seems like it could be very incorrect, or only partially correct. Keep in mind rottentomatoes is owned by movie studios so they have a vested interest in changing the formula for disregarding audience ratings. I think they already disregard ratings below a certain threshold and other weird shit.
Shrug

Absent context I'd definitely take the mismatched-windows exterior shot as the result of something like the Internet-famous time that amateur (in Spain, I think?) tried to restore a painting of Jesus.

[EDIT] My point is, if someone told me some other parts of the building were a mistake, much less something like the Sistine Chapel, I'd be like "no way". That particular view of the building? Someone told me it was a mistake, I'd be like "haha, yeah, clearly, hope they fix it so it doesn't keep dragging down the rest of the building"
My goal is to ensure some degree of process sanity exists to ensure data processing complies with the law and that systems interoperate effectively.

I don't think anyone using Airtable as a CRM has those sorts of concerns, however.
Gaslighting seems to have mutated to mean "asserting strongly that something isn't true, which I've personally experienced to be true", or in the more extreme cases, "...which I believe to be true."

IMO it's an annoying corruption of what was actually a rather useful term, but there you go.
My greater point is: beauty (or boring) is in the eye of the beholder.

Some value a high-stress, cutting-edge environment. I don't and my employees largely don't either. Boring == predictable to us.

We are definitely not "move fast and break things" like NPM is. We move appropriately fast while de-risking our customers long-term.

My suggestion: figure out what kind of boring/not boring you like, and find a job that shares those values.
> how do you deal with people who have no interest in arguing in good faith?

The choices critically depend upon context:

1. Is the dispute one-to-one, or is there an audience? With skill, you may be able to turn the opinion of a reasonable audience against your bad-faith interlocutor.

2. Is disengaging a practical option, or are you compelled to continue the discussion under threat of yet more unpleasant consequences?

So, I'd say that's 2*2=4 "game" scenarios, each fundamentally distinct.
PowerTools is a huge rip off of things Linux users have been doing for decades; tiling &c. Virtual desktops in Windows 10 is another rip off. Mouse Without Borders catching up to long cherished Synergy/Barrier. Good for Microsoft! Catch up! WSL again gave the tastemakers/demanding folk that which they demanded.

I don't think most users could cite what changed between Windows versions. 7->8->10->11.... it's been such a wash. But Linux users see a lot of little things they expected, now semi available.

Microsoft is definitely stealing from the best, and the best ideas are clearly originating on Linux & in open-source.
Can we reserve trite clichés like "Apple is Spyware" for reddit and maybe reserve this place for more focused discussion?

"MacOS sending HTTP requests with hardware unique identifiers in plaintext is bad because..." would be an example.
> hypocrite
...
> just talk about people suffering

Talk all you want, PRC's position is the hypocrisy is moving beyond talk into sanctions and other actions that undermine XJ development for counter-insurgency actions. Same reason rest of world is annoyed into being pressured to sanction RU over invading UKR when US/west did not. It's about weaponizing morality for geopolitics.
I vaguely remember reading something that traumatic or “very important” memories never go through the usual process of becoming memories. Instead, when you recall them, your brain physically “relives” it so it is never forgotten. Probably a evolutionary trait to make sure we learn as much as we can from the experience. This is also why you remember those “times you almost died” in slow motion. Your brain goes into a high resolution mode in those cases, which you remember as slow motion, like speeding up a camera and playing it back at normal speed.

Sorry I don’t have any sources, I’m just a casual reader in this space.
Similar ambitions are still there from my anecdotal experience (especially among people in the polar ends of the profession's spectrum ie. the new grads and the veterans) but most architects I meet these days while appriciative of the works of people like Corb and other modernists, completely understand their shortcomings.

But what has really curbed the possibility of anything like those movements to happen again is the neoliberal economics in contrast to the post war socialist policies of the time.
I'm hopeful that open-sourcing this is the beginning of an internal initiative to start promoting, improving and adding to this product, rather an an internal initiative to offload development to the community and abandon.

As it stands right now, it doesn't do a huge amount - there are much more popular & well-maintained add-ons out there that do this, and the add-on recommendations it makes are narrow and overly prescriptive (e.g. pushing Privacy Badger when you're already using more general overlapping solutions like uBlock).

Mullvad's a great company with a lot of community respect so a "well crafted" add-on of this nature coming from them could have a lot of potential.
"The common portrayal of unions as good and corporations as evil is over simplistic and often backwards."

The common portrayal (at least in the US) is that unions are evil.

That's why American unions and union activity have been almost completely squashed in the US for decades now.

This sentiment is starting to change a bit as people are finally starting to wake up to the massive inequality in this country and the enormous wealth and power of corporations and the oligarchs who control them vs the barely subsistence existence of the ever growing lower classes.
What security implications do you have in mind? Hiding the number is evil for the 16-digit CC number and still dumb for the expiry date and security code. Also, autocomplete for those fields is something many people want, and is a browser feature. I can’t see anything else security-related that makes any sense to have for CC numbers specifically.
The comment literally states that it's one of the questions they ask, which is the exact opposite of a gotcha question.

And the specific question can lead to a conversation, which may "reveal" the answer (obviously, I don't know whether this is the correct answer), but at the very least it reveals whether the interviewee thinks about selection bias, among other concerns.
Does anyone here know how high interest rates need to be to finally see a military spending cut?
I definitely construct scenes from a few noted details plus general context. Like what colour is my neighbour’s front door? Not sure, even though I pass it every day.

However if I mentally retrace my steps within a short timespan, it seems that I recall details that I would generally not remember. For instance if I leave my house and think, “Did I brush my teeth?”, I can usually confirm/disconfirm by picturing something very specific like where I placed the toothbrush afterwards.
It's the same in the US, but in both cases, "public benefit" is nebulous and unenforceable. If you just say "we're advancing public health!" that's a charitable purpose, even if the majority of what you're doing is profit-seeking and completely unrelated to that.

Much like how CEOs get wide discretion as to what "advancing shareholder interests" means - maybe it's in the long-term interest of public health to build a huge amount of real-estate holdings that you could (hypothetically) use to generate revenue and advance public health (uh huh) some time in the future. That's perfectly fine for a non-profit to do - they really are just a corporation that doesn't pay out profits to shareholders, they keep it all internally.

Examples: the Susan Komen foundation. College endowments. Hospitals. Etc.

In my time at a non-profit, we had what we called our "contribution margin" which was equivalent to profit in a for-profit company, and that was tens of millions of dollars a year. Like I said, we had big real-estate holdings etc which is where all the profit went year-over-year. And we actually did do important public health work, but we were also essentially a contractor for various state and federal agencies and definitely did turn a profit.

The only requirement in the US is that at least 5% of the activity must be charitable in nature - that's not a typo. So spend 5% on some studies and reports and the rest becomes your personal slush fund. It's a fantastic little arrangement.

There can be surprising insights yielded from such an exercise. For example, if I think about what separates breads from cakes and muffins, I am forced to deal with the way that a typical "banana bread" (baked with lots of sugar and without yeast) is really a bread-shaped muffin more than a banana-flavored bread. This might seem overly semantic, but it does reflect differences in how it is baked and what it means nutritionally.
> 1) The corporatization of social media is a big factor.

Yep. There was a time when I trusted internet/social media reviews because they weren't bought and paid for access media. But now, it's clear that they are also bought and paid for. They are now invited to press screenings and follow disney rules on release of spoiler reviews. Not only influencers but entire social media platforms are now arms of corporate PR.

> 2) Everything has become political

It's always been political. The only difference now is that ordinary people have a way of voicing their opinions. Hollywood, media, film critics, best sellers list, award shows, etc are all political propaganda. Always have been.
Is the term nitpick offensive to nitwits?
One possibly overlooked factor is the death of Roger Ebert, who managed to be both a man of the people and respected among critics (possibly because he was also an excellent writer).
