Is there any company in the US where parents can take (collectively) up to 14 months of leave while still receiving 2/3 of their salary?

More importantly: do people actually take it?
It's not valid for the state to collect evidence illegally. If it was then it would make sense to have any laws constraining how the state could gather evidence.

In this case it's not the state that's spying, it's the landlord, and the landlord is constrained by the punishments for violating the law against spying.

A slightly different spin on it, if the landlord witnessed a murder while illegally spying on his piano should his recording or testimony be admissible in court? I would say yes though again the landlord should face whatever spying penalties apply.
As other folk have said, only during an eclipse. More specifically, light doesn't really diffuse like it does in atmosphere, because there aren't any particles to bounce off of. Technically space isn't a perfect vacuum, as there's stray particles all over the place. It's hardly enough to matter.

It seems like the near side of the moon could theoretically get more light on average. When light travels through the fringe of the Earth's atmosphere, it will diffuse and refract a bit. To some extent, some of that light will end up hitting the moon when it otherwise wouldn't have had the Earth not been there.
For the piano: contracts cannot change the law itself so any tenants rights will also apply.

The doctor should lose their license and possibly be sentenced to murder but you would have to prove what was in his mind. Helps if he had a history of affairs with women whose spouses died under his care. Source: watched enough law and order.

No idea. I don't have a large enough maser to verify. I'm aware that plausibility != proof but certainly there is some level of energy delivered to moisture in the air that would move it. The arguing is about how much you need.

I grew up in Georgia, and in one class in middle school we played "the stock market game".

I didn't care about it. So my 'group', me and two girls who spoke little English, just put our pretend funds in some diversified blue chips, and then every time the class took time to rebalance their funds, I just read, leaving them where they were because I didn't care.

My group got first in the school and got pizza with the ones who got second and third.

"we all know we can’t decarbonize in time"

I guess you mean "we all know that almost no current government has the political courage to do what is necessary so that we decarbonize in time".

Or " we all know that we don't have the fortitude to do to do what is necessary so that we decarbonize in time".
=> that version is better if governments do what their public opinion is willing to do.

To fight in the WWI and WII, the most advanced economies of those times turned in less than two years into war economies, where more than 50% of the GDP was directed to the war effort.

True for Germany, France, the UK plus, for WWII, the USA, the USSR, Japan.

The Apollo program amounted during the 60s to 4% of the US GDP, just for the political sake of keeping up with the USSR.

If we considered - as we should - the dereliction of climate and the on-going massive reduction of biodiversity as an existential threat, we would act accordingly.

We can decarbonize in time. But we don't want to "look up", e.g. to listen to the Science.

Australia is having huge fires and large floods every year now - but still elect a government in denial of the causes.

In the USA, the natural disasters are rising sharply in frequency and magnitude (current drought in the West, hurricanes etc).

Etc etc.

When it will become unbearable, we will at last act accordingly. The solutions are there already.

There are many breakthroughs (batteries for example, to store surplus of renewables energies so that it can be used at will when necessary). Far many more would occur if we invested money in research and R&D.

We ought not to bet on a hypothetical magic bullet. Not that we shouldn't fund those research. Startups with small odds to succeeded easily raise VC money since a success would offer a huge ROI.

But the trap is to bet the future of the world on a hypothetical magic bullet when the solutions already exist. We just don't want to do what necessary to implement them.

The USA, Canada, Australia for example emit 3 times more CO2 than France per inhabitant. However, the loss of biodiversity is as fast (and maybe higher) in France (which governments do very little to tackle gashouse emissions).
I found your quiz while I was building the Wow API and I did pretty well! Can't imagine why...
Most recently I've played around with the Polarfire FPGAs from Microsemi^H^H^H^Hchip, and previously with the Xilinx Kintex series on the KC705 eval board. The SERDES interface on the Polarfire is way easier to deal with than the monstrousity of a SERDES interface that Xilinx provides (oh the absolute horror that is caused by trying to get the clock signals from the right pin through the right series of blocks to the SERDES). My interest has been in playing around with 10Gbps ethernet and protocols like 10G EPON. Learning VHDL / Verilog isn't too hard coming from C, and there are a number of open source simulators available that work quite well. Plus, it's rather nice to not have an operating system inbetween me and the hardware! The downside is that there is so much to learn: figuring out how to cross clock domains and implement FIFOs between blocks.... I should really play around with the high level synthesis tools that can synthesize C / C++ code directly to hardware. So much to play with, too little time.
>Can someone explain to me what pipewire's goal is? to be a better pulseaudio?

Yes, and also the goal is to support video in addition to audio.

>if so, in what way is it trying to be better?

Well in addition to supporting video, it also supports jack clients without needing to run a separate server. There are a few other things like better security policies, but those are the major ones.

>also, how's the codebase quality? from what i heard, pulse's codebase is a mess, so if it can improve in that sense, i guess that's a win (?)

Pulseaudio's code is fine and pipewire is about the same, it's a relatively small core daemon with most of the major functionality split out into a large collection of loadable modules.

>why does it do video?

A few reasons, but the major one is because video on Linux has the same problem as audio: the low-level device API (V4L) can only be used by one program at a time. This leads to failures if you try to do something like access your webcam in two applications at the same time. Most applications should basically not be using ALSA or V4L directly to access devices for this reason. A sound server like pulseaudio is the typical way to mux/demux the audio devices to allow multiple applications to access it at once, and now pipewire extends that to video.

>is trying to do media capture like OBS or be a compositor like wayland?

Neither, it's used to route video sources between programs. Media players and cameras and Wayland compositors that want to do screencasting can send their video into pipewire; casting programs like OBS or any ffmpeg-based tools can receive any of these video streams from pipewire and do whatever they want with them, or could also output to pipewire so another program can consume their output. If applications support it then the idea is you'll be able to easily connect together any two applications that produce/consume video and it'll all just work.
I had one, I got an A in it (one of my best CS classes actually), but I don't remember much because I never applied it outside of the class
Thanks for the repo/issues link! Didn't know that resources existed.

Looks like the immediate issues got taken care of thanks to the HF team, but I'll probably pop over there in the future if I have ideas or notice things that can be improved.

The web site states, as a matter of fact, that all engineering problems to colonize Mars must be first solved on the moon. That's not really a fact, though, is it? Like, it seems like a reasonable plan for incrementally derisking things, but it doesn't seem strictly necessary.

It also seems like there's technical problems that are unique to Mars, and technical problems that are unique to the moon. For example, landing on the moon can only really be done propulsively due to the lack of atmosphere. On Mars, though, there's atmosphere to aero-brake with. Or, insulation is relatively easy on the moon because of the lack of convection and conduction, while it's really difficult on Mars despite the temperature swings being considerably less severe.
Do you have links to any kind of published data/papers about this? That’s really interesting and I would love to learn more.

It depends on what your goals are for the degree. If you are seeking knowledge and you successful compete the degree it was no waste of effort. If, as seems implied in the question, you want to excel (financially or n intellectual standing) a CS degree presents any greater risk than any other.
One thing you could do is talk to people who have graduated from the same program of study 5 years ago and ask them how satisfied them are with their decision.

You could ask what's wrong with futures you can become super wealthy overnight. But you can also bankrupt yourself in an hour. Yes risk is part of investing but extreme risk is desperation, gambling, ignorance.

It’s not detached from reality in the slightest. This is the crux of the debate on censorship. Biden just created a Ministry of Truth surrounding this issue.

You’re just stubbornly attached to your own beliefs. Most people are like this—they don’t like admitting when they were wrong. In general, the reason ‘why’ (above) is because it could benefit you to find a better conclusion if one exists. Do what you want, but very dangerous to burden society with the same handicap
Maybe return it and state the EULA as the reason?

I don't recall specifics nor can I pull up any source, but I remember seeing in the past something about the US military sometimes pays organizations to do flyovers.
I mean, that sounds like a perfectly sound strategy. It's the whole concept behind the couch potato investment strategy.

these are great!...until we scratch the surface and realize each of these can be done incredibly well or incredibly poorly. There is an enormous amount of implicit knowledge in them. And when knowledge is left implicit in instructions, it gets filled in with what knowledge and knowledge structures already existed.

E.g., paying off credit cards probably means paying them off monthly, but what if it means paying off all the debt I've already accumulated. Do I have to make a will before that?

Guiding credible knowledge construction is hard

The unspoken issue in this thread is that financial education, in fact a lot of education nowadays unfortunately, is unlearning things that are taught wrong at home. If the parents have a bad (not null...bad) understanding of financial literacy or role model bad things, you are fighting an uphill battle.

Scott Adams list is typically shallow...it provides just enough information to look credible while leaving enough flexibility that anyone who fails at this is blamed instead.
A little defeatist, but correct in its own way.

I prefer to look at it as "each person is interested in different things, and they mostly don't overlap with any other one person, statistically".
But it did so in the same way Uber turned the taxi business into a casual labor market which is bad for both workers and customers - by breaking local ordinances designed to maintain professional and community standards, circumventing attempts to regulate it, battling and overwhelming city councils and local residents' groups one jurisdiction at a time, with hedge fund financed legal battles to overturn laws that existed specifically because people who lived in those places had voted for them, and then essentially turn those people into a minority vote in their own communities.
Conscription is slavery.
I try to subscribe to the idea that if you cannot adequately describe your commit in a small number of characters (~50 is plenty I feel), your commit is likely too complicated. One size does not fit all, and if a workflow ain't broken there's usually no need to fix it. However most workflows are imperfect, there is almost always room for improvement.

But in the general case I find that if commits are not themselves concise and simple changes, they often should be broken up so that the moving pieces can be better tracked when looking back at the history.
the fundamental problem with cryptocurrency is that it requires being your bank and all that entails for IT security, or else you need to rely on a thrid party and there defeats the purpose and meaning of it being cryptocurrency.

It's impossible for a layperson to use crypticut effectively without becoming an expert, so the only broad education you can give is "stay away, as with day-trading stocks, and options, and any fast money schemes".
Personally, the hardest thing I had to deal with in school were English classes. Had I been in a technical writing course instead I might have actually been able to engage with the material in a way that just didn't work for me in school. Having to write bullshit about imagery in novels that I really didn't believe in was an exercise akin to pulling teeth for me. I wonder how many other technically inclined people had the same issue.

Perhaps you didn't personally get much out of the article. I did. I didn't love the invective aspects of it very much, either, but there were still some interesting take-aways and new things to say. Apparently enough so that 593 people so far thought it worthwhile to click the "upvote" button, which is really quite a staggering number when you consider that it had been banished from the front page. When you've got that many people seeing value in it - that's really quite a lot more than most of the rest of what's been on HN today - even if you don't personally see why, maybe it's enough for you to simply not see why, and leave it at that.

And that is what I am getting at. I can see the logic of the moderation just fine, but I think that the logic in question is wrong and perhaps even edging toward paternalistic or mean-spirited. And my interactions with dang on it elsewhere in the thread strike me as being mostly just defensive. Which doesn't really jive all that well with the stated purpose of elevating the quality of conversation on HN. I'm more impressed with what the broader community has done: largely looking past the flamebait, eschewing "shallow dismissals", and instead choosing to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says."

I've found just figuring out a method for tracking your budget can be quite difficult. Whether on actual paper or computer spreadsheet too much detail can make tracking your money become tedious very fast. When it becomes a chore most often that means people will procrastinate or give up documenting their spending.
I've run into a similar issue, where the default output device wouldn't be selected, when I used PulseAudio by itself before Pipewire was a thing. I had to use one of the PA console mixers to set my default output and input devices, and with some playing around with it, I was able to make them the default. Might help to use pactl or one of the many PA mixers to poke around and see if there's anything you can adjust to fix the issue.

Might also help to test out pipewire-media-session to see if that helps, too.

The political leadership doesn't want conscription because it makes the public care a lot more about decisions to use the military.

The median house price in Seattle last month was $889K. On a 30-year mortgage with 4.5% interest, that'd cost $3900/month with 20% down, or $4900 with a more-plausible 5% down payment. The median household income in Seattle last year was just over $102k, which is $8500/month before tax... so we're looking at 45-55% of income going to housing. Too high? Don't buy, just rent? Great, the average 2-bedroom apartment in Seattle goes for $3400... that gets us down to 40%.

It's not the same kind of city as the one I moved back to twenty-plus years ago, that's for sure.
Right?! Imagine: "We're announcing Python 4. Python 3 was because we handled unicode in a way that turned out to make nearly 0 sense. Python 4 is because you lot can't put your f's in the right place."
Language instruction by traditional courses/curriculum is grossly inefficient and ineffective, because courses focus on judging and ranking the students in whatever way is easiest for the teacher to measure rather than on language acquisition per se. Many students come out of several years of instruction with next to no proficiency in the target language, and when they visit a country speaking that language end up lost and confused, unable to follow the most basic native conversations, let alone speak fluently themselves.

Courses should focus substantially on maximizing comprehensible input of spoken language for at least the first half year, with negligible emphasis placed on students trying to learn formally (grammar, spelling, etc.) or make utterances in the target language. After 2–3 years courses should predominantly focus on reading.

Get one student to take a traditional 1 hour per day Spanish course for 3 years and another student to watch an hour of https://youtube.com/c/DreamingSpanish/ every day for 1 year and the second student will come out ahead. And that’s just completely passive content from YouTube: a student who has conversations for an hour per day with native target-language speakers (where the student doesn’t try to produce the target language themselves but only listen to it) is going to do better still.

Umm… no. I really don’t like the subtext of this question
Over the years I've left a couple hundred comments on Jezebel and TheRoot. I'd say a third or so have gotten ungreyed — almost exclusively replies on existing threads that have been either approved or replied to by the author of the parent comment, in the same mechanism as RadioPaper.

Gawker staff used to participate in the comments, but those days are long gone. That means that a top-level comment by anybody who isn't already pre-approved will almost certainly remain in the greys.

I miss the way it was, but the Gawker properties have gone through multiple wringers.

So I agree that the Gawker properties have serious problems, but I think that the commenting mechanism actually yields some pretty great results. It would be fab if Radiopaper could iterate and improve on that model!
I’d rather use the best (or at least my preferred) general purpose language on top of my preferred database than use an all in one solution that is a compromise on both fronts.

I would check the actual IP address that was sending the spam and sure enough it was genuine Google IP addresses. I once tried black listing them only to stop receiving mail from friends so it was definitely the same IPs being used for both spam and actual ham mail. At the time I ran my own mail server it was not unusual for north of 50 per cent of spam to be originating from Google.
