I've read the entire thread and took note of all the top-level responses that talked about Macs before the parent was posted versus the ones not talking about Macs. There are what, 4-5 mentions about getting a Mac out of dozens of non-Mac recommendations? Barely anyone gave those Mac comments attention before they were downvoted to the end anyway.

Parent just seems to have an axe to grind and took the opportunity to hijack a thread about recommendations.

>As opposed to our current financial system

No that's not what I was saying and this is one of the most terrible things about any cryptocurrency discussion. People can't seem to avoid viewing it as something "opposed" to any current financial system, when that's not true. Cryptocurrency at best is the same as the current financial system and that's a huge stretch if you can somehow avoid all the negative externalities created by the insistence on using blockchains. So I would really suggest you avoid this angle when talking about this. Yes, all money is technically "fake". The difference is that real currencies that function as currencies are backed by some kind of real productive human activity to sustain that thing. Cryptocurrency by definition is not this, and it never can be unless you discard the fundamental concepts of it.

>but it sure would make for an interesting redistribution of power.

No not really. If you define "interesting" as something unpredictable and dramatic, then it would be more interesting to have the government raise tax rates to 99% and then randomly redistribute the proceeds via lottery. But nobody wants to talk about that because it doesn't require any kind of tech solutionism like cryptocurrency does. And also it would just be awful for most people. But hey, if you just want to convince some rich people to voluntarily pool their money into a trust that then redistributes it via lottery, you might as skip straight to that and avoid all the cryptocurrency shenanigans.

Have the cheapest M1. It flies and the battery life is stellar. The only downside I would say is it's only 8GB of RAM. If you're doing anything with electron development, it's a no-go. You'll need a minimum of 16GB.

It's an incredible machine though. The perf and battery life remind me of the upgrade I got when switching from a HDD to a SSD for the first time. It changes how I use the device.
I assume you’re joking, but just in case: in-school deferment only automatically applies to federal loans. For private loans, you have to apply and they can reject you or put a cap on the deferment duration. For federal loans, your eligibility depends on income and has an aggregate maximum of $138,500 including your undergraduate federal loans.

Mark Zuckerberg on Sheryl Sandberg’s Superpower: ‘IQ and EQ’
Putting aside who is saying this, I am curious how others see IQ vs EQ as factors in career success?

Any thoughts on how to create balance when you are in a challenging interpersonal environment?

Do introverts have a disadvantage in career growth?

Overall the advice from the article makes sense, but the challenge is implementing it:

“Sheryl always says that the amount of progress that we make is directly proportional to the number of hard conversations that we’re willing to have,” he said. “So trying to build that into the cultural operation system — which is, ‘we’re just going to really reward and focus on being direct with each other’ — I think is a really important thing.”

Experts say that approach to leadership — prioritizing emotional intelligence just as much as, or more than, book smarts — is often the right way to go. The trait makes leaders compelling because of their “ability to identify and monitor emotions (of their own and of others),” Harvard psychologist Daniel Goleman

> Apple does not get access to the messages

I routinely look at the network traffic of my iDevice and see a tonne of traffic being sent to Apple. I can't see the contents of the traffic, since 99% of it is encrypted, but I can safely say Apple is very cozy with your device. Just assume Apple can see everything, and change your behavior accordingly. If I want secure comms, I use battle-hardened things like Tails[0].

What is with the very low adoption of comsec tools like Tails? Does everyone think it's crimeware and only used by criminals? Because I do a lot of my surfing with Tor, but that doesn't mean I'm a darknet drugs kingpin does it?

> -Libraries outside the US are a fraction of the size of the US library, some legitimately have less than 10% of its content, while asking for the same amount of money.

I already suspected this but I just checked and you're absolutely right. US Netflix is between 6000-7000 titles, while Israel Netflix is around 1000. And yet subscriptions cost even slightly more -- $19.99 for 4K vs ₪69.90 ($21.17).

It's almost entirely Netflix originals here, with some other network shows here and there, and a few cult favorite shows & movies. There's a few outliers in "stuff available here but not in US Netflix" like Friends but that's probably because there's no HBO Max here, I suspect they'll take Friends back once they launch.

The general argument isn't so much about "testing" vs "macros", because #ifdef LIBRARY_VERSION is also a test of a macro's value, but what type of thing should be tested. Whether to test the functionality or the labels of it, whether to test the things that the computer runs or something that is part of a comment, whether you test the signifier or the signified. In this context, testing functionality would mean compiling a test program and observing the results. A macro or the existence of MUSL_LOCPATH would both be testing the labels and not the actual code.

This isn't a formal debate. Nobody owes anybody else a response, and choosing not to reply to baiting posts, opting out of poisonous back-and-forth, is not only not ceding the argument, it's upholding the spirit of the HN guidelines.

If you actually want to engage, try to show that you're actually listening to the person you're engaging with and not throwing rocks at some straw man caricature of them. A good exercise would be to couch your post in terms that your interlocutor might agree with.
I think it would need to be more nuanced than that if we want to escape second order effects.

The first is that if the college bears risks for financed students, the first seats will always go to people who can afford to not use financing. It'd be like the legacy system, but out in the open and encouraged by regulation.

The second is that it will likely make it harder to climb the social ladder. I'm too sleep-deprived today to find sources, but I would imagine that students that can afford to not work while in school tend to do better. Likewise, I would bet that wealthier students tend to do better by nature of connections. If your dad/mom is an engineer, and you want to be an engineer, you've already got connections.

It also pushes people towards the military, if the GI Bill is the only way for normal people from poor families to afford college. It's a little dark that wealthy families can pay their children's way, but poor families have to risk them dying to do the same thing.

I like the basis of the idea, I just think it needs a bit more nuance to prevent wealth inequality getting worse than it already is.

That sounds the ultimate form of globalization, manufacture children where it's cheaper and import the adults

Most couples eventually want to have a children, they just don't feel they can because the increasing cost of living and lack of support and preparedness from most developed societies, since more people move nowadays they lack family support which would make it easier

If population is reducing is because governments don't mind it and doesn't think they should incentivize it like other things

Birthing a and raising a person is not cheap or easy, but treating it the same as commodities seems wrong

And what is the problem with population shrinking? Some countrifies would well benefit from less population. Everyone complains about stained health services, lack of housing, climate activists "the world has too much population"... Is it just a economic problem that everything has to grow for ever? Change the economic model to allow for natural population oscillations

>As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has the means to pay off their student loans themselves practically won the lottery and they should be thankful they're not totally fucked like those who need the forgiveness.

Let me share my personal experience with you so I can try to shed some light on our varying interpretations of what "won the lottery" means. I went to college full-time, four days a week, and was a commuter. I was responsible for my entire car payment, my parking pass, my books/material, and for taking out a loan for tuition. I took it upon myself to get a part-time job while continuing to study and go to class for four and a half years. I then got a full-time job upon graduating and lived very frugally for two years with a huge chunk of my paychecks going towards paying off my car and student loans. The thought of paying interest killed me, and I did everything in my power to put every penny I could afford towards paying down my debt. I didn't go on vacations, didn't spend money frivolously on a new iPhone every year, didn't buy anything that wasn't necessary until my obligations were fulfilled.

Now let's revisit Person B (and to be clear, I personally know a Person B who's a close friend of mine who fits this description). They did not consistently work in college, but partied, went to festivals, took vacations, had a much easier schedule not having to factor in a job. They then graduate just like me. They have a few hundred dollars more every month that can go towards more vacations than I had the option to take, a more expensive car that I could not afford to buy, and more discretionary spending power than I had during that time. They work a job now, but have yet to begin repaying their loans yet (I understand the pandemic was a once-in-a-lifetime situation, but even so, there's a grace period after graduating where you aren't forced to pay). And even when payments resume, they will likely pay the bare minimum each month because they now have the prospect of having that debt potentially forgiven in its entirety.

How do you tell me with a straight face that I won the lottery, and that Person B is actually the one who is "fucked" (as you so eloquently put it) and needs the forgiveness?

Reston is hit and miss for pedestrians. It was built during the height of automobile centered development, but the primary constituents were artists who cared about aesthetics.

At least it's not Tysons Corner. They're going to be spending decades trying to undo the damage done by the car centric design.
SPARK doesn't provide the same feature set as Rust. If you want safe heap allocation in SPARK, then you get a garbage collector (unless you're talking really recent experimental extensions IIRC). If you want to forego the GC and remain memory-safe, then you also forego heap allocation. This might work for avionics code, but not for most apps.

Besides, the post you're replying to is talking about "momentum", and it's obvious in 2022 that Ada doesn't have the momentum that Rust does (however you define "momentum"). NVIDIA is not the entire industry.

Much of the rest of your post concerns video games, which are only a small portion of the total C++ code in existence. (And in any case it's not accurate to say that languages are "meaningless" unless the platform vendor officially supports them—console vendors don't maintain C# VMs either and yet Unity titles work just fine.)

Yeah, modern video cable standards are approaching 100 gbps. There's plenty of potential use for way more networking bandwidth than consumers have current access to. There may not be current applications, but I think that's much more to do with lack of access than lack of utility.
Granting everybody access to the banking system is just a matter of some regulatory entity requiring that banks create a kind of account they can grant to anyone and that they don't deny it, or of the government itself making a bank that doesn't deny service to people.

There are very few people who do not use a bank account but still use cryptocurrency.

This fantasy of banking the unbanked has remained a fantasy. In fact it is so impractical that barely anyone is working on it.

Meanwhile technologies like UPI have actually transformed people's lives and actually made banking accessible to millions.

Why focus on a dead end technology like crypto when we already have better options?
The private market wouldn't issue loans at all.

We are talking about 18-year-old kids with no assets and likely no income, who have potentially never had a job, asking to borrow thousands of dollars because they believe (but cannot prove) that they will graduate college several years from now and make enough money to pay it back. Any banker who would give them a loan on normal terms would be an idiot.

The only reason this works is that student loan terms are uniquely different from the terms for other loans. That is what makes the risk acceptable to lenders. Change that, and guess what -- nobody gets loans.
