"True friendship comes mostly from shared struggle. Think sports teams, military, small teams at work, even childhood friends and the experience growing up.

It is hard to establish anything meaningful of a connection with casual interactions, and expecting to just "party/play hard" with people you don't really know is putting the cart before the horse. First you must work hard together.

I'd suggest joining a Crossfit gym or similar. I've had great success meeting people within the context of group workouts. It has regular class schedules, and provides a way to ease into social interactions at your own pace as you'll be around the same people regularly. Often this leads to opportunities to do things together outside of the classes.

Additionally, there are likely individuals with similar disinterest in the common activities you mentioned in you CS classes. Finding opportunities to work with someone on class assignments, studying or projects together would fall in the "shared struggle" category."

I think you are the one out of touch. My Boomer parents only need help from me once a year or less with their Ubuntu machines. If they can do it, so can genZ students.
that's where the sausage is made

NYC public transportation has all the usual problems, but it moves a lot of people who otherwise would not be able to move. (this is basically why it's so "full of crazy people, but it's not a cause it's an effect of the efficiency of NYC)
That explanation, as dumb as it seems, can be the actual and only reason for many designs. Barely functional heatsinks in laptops, using 0.1mm metal backsides in keyboards instead of 0.25 or something (the fucking thing bends and keys stop working!), plastic clips instead of screws, etc.

Yeah, we say "it's just $0.05, I'll gladly pay that for higher quality!". But somewhere, a new CxO is saying "we have saved $10,000,000 on production this year". And it's a big number, indeed.

But what about the users? Well, fuck the users. They will buy overpriced parts from the company or a new device from the company or the few competitors who do the same thing. They could be in cahoots, but it's more than likely they all decided saving tens/hundreds of millions a year is worth far more than a small number of disappointed buyers.
Thanks, I was not aware of this.

It appears to use the Windows global mic control API, which is pretty straight-forward to even implement by yourself programmatically.

Unfortunately, as Teams does some magic with the mute, if you have an external program, but still use Teams app to mute your conference call after call has already started, the state will not propagate to the external program, i.e. you cannot reliably show on the button whether the mic is muted or not.

Most paid support is awful.
I know you're trolling, but I'll respond. Part of growing up and moving from just a mere legally-licensed adult is being able to hold heavy things. They never stop getting heavier. They just keep unfolding, and if you are willing to grow just a little deeper--not bigger, but deeper, like the roots of you being able to feel things, then maybe all that learning to deal with loss, tragedies, loved ones dying, aging, your parents and uncles and cousins and friends dying--and yet not letting it destroy you, might be worth something. Though, for a moment, you can be devastated on the inside and hold yourself up without breaking. You don't need to cry your eyes out every day, but man, what the hell if we can't reflect on such a grievous time that has befallen us--all of us--over the past two years, without clawing someone else's face off or storming off in a huff. But if you need to feel not bothered at all, go ahead, you aren't the subject of this one.
But that government is not legitimate, in the political sense. There is no mechanism for the population of users, as a whole, to vote.

In a sense, it sounds like a political party that splits in two. It’s not democratic; maybe it’s technocratic.

And people with "eyes" are always talking about the things they "see," always shoving that in the faces of people who claim they don't have to "have visions" to understand the world!

You're comparing people who are aware of a problem and trying to raise awareness with people who actively deny it. And claiming harm is being done to the denialists.

For what it's worth, there is also a common problem with people who want to impose themselves on others via their righteousness. But that happens across the political spectrum.
Yeah, I don’t think this would really have a market in much of the US or Canada where even older apartments typically have dishwashers, maybe in cities like NYC there are folks that would find it useful?

But lots of U.K. homes don’t have a dishwasher and the kitchen without probably a full renovation wouldn’t accommodate one. In that context - I think this is a pretty great product. I wouldn’t be surprised if the situation is similar elsewhere in Europe, where the buildings predate dishwashers being a common appliance.
Thanks a lot for this, any idea why there is not a desktop equivalent of this?
Interesting.

An increase in dementia and cancer is exactly what contrarian scientists and researchers fear as potential long-term side-effects of breakdown of spike protein in the body (amyloid plaque deposits), and dysregulation of the immune system due to mRNA treatments (host immune system not fully-functioning results in ineffective disease suppression across the board).

An emerging thesis explaining diverse pathology in post-covid / post-vax (let us call it post-spike exposure) is that breakdown of spike protein results in beta-amyloid plaque deposits in the body, which leads to Alzheimers, systemic amyloidosis, fibrogenesis.

Other mainstream research is now also converging on this idea. [1]

One of the original researchers who appears early on this discussed it in the last few days with one of the DRASTIC researchers Jay Couey: "Amyloidogenesis of the Spike Protein" [2]

Jay has an interesting 10 minute monologue just prior to the interview which is also worth viewing. [3] He summarises the industry dogma (and why it's flawed) in a succint way: "Seroprevalence to an epitope is taken as a correlate of immunity to a pathogen on which that epitope is found. And if this mechanism is part of immunity, it is a small fraction of the total immune response..."

In terms of UK all-cause mortality data, Fenton's analysis has been very interesting. Also interesting to see him suddenly cast out of respectable society once he decided something was very off with the statistical analysis going on. [4]

>At least this is what I heard in Econ 101

Yeah, and you probably also learned a laundry list of caveats which lead to the principle you're describing being non-applicable. Real estate is not a fully commodifiable good because it is non-fungible. A house in the middle of a city is not the same thing as a house 2 hours out of the city core. There is a limited amount of under-developed land to repurpose, and a limited amount of construction crews and machinery available at any given time to perform the work in question, so building production does not scale linearly with capital investment.

Construction has ALWAYS prioritized high-margin upscale dense construction where possible - if you own a block of rundown downtown shacks, you put a tower on it the moment you can. This isn't the issue - no one's complaining about Canadian Real Estate's ability to build a Class 1 commercial building or a high-end condominium complex. Toronto has been literally the number one city by crane count by a MASSIVE margin for years. The issue is how we can get widespread construction of low margin projects, Low-rise residential complexes, affordable housing, etc.
Assume a building with zero wifi in it.... Can't an enemy simply place wifi routers of its own around the building and monitor what they want freely from their own radios?

Active Directory is an implementation of LDAP and uses Kerberos, both OSS. So, in effect, Linux has something exactly as capable as Active Directory.
To deviate a bit from the main thread, it is incredible how they managed to make Android NDK that bad.

On my case, when using it I sometimes even get the feeling "this used to be better with Symbian", clunky as it was.

And the time they take to create any improvements to it, it looks like NDK is a 20% project from Android team, that we should be thankfull it even exists to start with.
They have a docker instal option. Granted it’s a bit of overkill but you can run it like desktop software.
Yeah, we have quite a few customers who host their frontend on Vercel and their backend on Heroku.
As a word of advice, if want a Faraday cage because you want to to protect yourself from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, then by all means, knock yourself out following those directions. Preferably not literally, because, as noted in the links, lack of airflow will hurt you rather more reliably than EMI.

But if you want to actually keep EM radiation in or out in a measurable way (and WiFi sensing is the epitome of measurability), then I recommend learning about shielding from a professional.

Professionals, by and large, don’t believe the electromagnetic hypersensitivity exists, at least not in the form that those webpages discuss.

LOL. John DeLorean would have approved of the grift.
This is a great option :)
That seems to be rate of change since 2015?
I think this article was fairly careful to not do that.

I could read it thinking that no more people will get sick next season then would get sick through three usual seasons anyways. And the danger comes more from piling up the cases not from any increase in severity of the diseases or number of people getting sick altogether.
I’m instantly suspicious of anyone trying to solve non-existent problems with blockchain. Most of these developers clearly know nothing about how to store and move data, in this case a blockchain is literally the most inefficient method.

If the point is to create an microblogging platform that is decentralized, this is NOT the technology stack I would select.
The students aren’t at issue, it’s the teachers. Your parents might as well be tech wizards compared to the the most tech illiterate instructor. Not to mention that the sample size is much larger when looking at a school or district compared to one household.

So a company who's only operational history is repairing and rebuilding ICE DeLoreans from old stock parts now wants us to believe they're capable of building a modern EV? I'd put good money on this one being yet more EV vaporware that will never actually see a production model roll of the line.
It's an old story. This guy

who hung out with the Grateful Dead was one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It's a common position that the views of the counterculture have thoroughly infiltrated the business world and by no means revolutionary:

About 2 calendar years (Pandemic probably added a lot of person hours to the effort) - still not complete. This was kinda a rogue effort/moonshot by me but I think if we didn’t do it, management was gonna do something drastic like move everything to data centers or something.
I think you're on the right track with your thinking.

If your job is pretty secure, then I think it makes sense to put much or all of your long term savings into an index ETF such as (or exactly as) VTI. Make sure you guys are maxing out any tax advantaged retirement plans available to both of you before putting money into your taxable long term savings.

Savings for short term purchases/emergencies that exceed what a couple of paychecks will pay for can go in things like CD ladders or Series I bonds.

You're right, lots of people, many of whom mainly want to make money from your money, will recommend more complex strategies and products. I started saving before ETFs became a mainstream thing I felt comfortable with, and ended up with a palette of mutual funds before I switched to only buying more VTI, and some of them have done better than VTI over time, and some worse, and each costs more than VTI.

However, I've just coached my son to pile everything into VTI while he debates adding home ownership to his mix.

Accounting is the same, at least at the big auditing and consulting firms for partners and employees on the partnership track. There are huge volumes of work to grind through, and partners don't want to dilute their profits by hiring more associates.
As I mentioned, there are many similar mini dishwashers or table top dishwashers in the 300e price bracket.
This is impossible to guarantee. The company may need to raise more money, likely through equity, not debt. To issue more equity, they will need to issue more shares. That is just how it works.
Further parts of that story:

- As noted at Wikipedia, wartime mechanisation and the requirements for standard parts to be provided for the new high technology of motorised transport, armour, and aircraft, drove further standardisation.

- The noted socialist and collectivist,[1] Herbert Hoover, provided the final push toward standardisation of weights, measures, and engineering components, as Secretary of Commerce.

It turns out that military needs and government legal authority and purchasing power can do much to promote standardisation which the free market cannot.

A subsequent case emerged during the Vietnam War during which the US Navy, a/k/a the transport and logistics arm of the US military forces, faced a critical problem in delivering supplies and materiel to very underdeveloped South Vietnamese ports. Though there'd been multiple attempts to standardise shipping around a single container size, this proved to be the ultimate nudge which established the TFU, or twenty-foot unit standard. (Now largely seen in its doubled form, the 40-foot shipping container.)

If the works not novel, there’s no PhD in it. So getting scooped can really suck…. And when doing wet work, access to the necessary machinery and getting enough time at the bench to make the desired white powder vs the undesired brown oil is critical. If you have to do x reactions to get good at doing reactions (ie you make what you set out to make), you can spent more time in a day or week running them and working them up.

If you're going to compare homicide and demographic statistics in the US then you should remember that:

1/10 black people here are first generation immigrants which is extremely destabilizing to their communities. Remember that these communities account for the majority of homicides here (according to the federal government.)

I think it looks pretty good, but a bit away from the spirit of the original (which is more squarish). The CyberTruck gets closer to that sharp edges delorean look than this one.

Well, either the professor in question has "a history of xenophobic, homophobic and racist behavior," or he does not, and I suppose people affiliated with Duke Medical might care about that in some way. But. For the love of God, can we not simply decline, on Hacker News, to take seriously a man who arbitrarily specifies that equity training is 'Maoist'? There is nothing interesting to say here. There is nothing to learn. This is a beef some of us here want to have, but there are plenty of other places to have it. Everyone is aware that every single form of corporate training is more often than not going to be garbage produced as part of a grift profiting off of the underlying ideal. People are not monsters for hating mandatory extraprofessional training. The real monsters here mostly stay in the woodwork these days. Do not give them an excuse to come out.
Isn't activity just a part of context?

Kick-about in the park -> simple activity, not many connections formed

Weekly football team -> training, trips, club events -> more connections formed

From my life the easiest connections are the ones where you're stuck together for a long time, eg education. You do pretty much everything together for years, you end up visiting each other's parents, you know each other's siblings, friends for life. In fact it's a reasonable test of how good friends you are with someone, whether you visited their house, know their family, know their friends, and know their CV.

Work is a little bit different. People are coming and going, there's a hierarchy as well, and also people are busy and have already got a friend group. That being said there's still the "always together" element so plenty of opportunity.

A more recent one is the "other parents in your kid's year". You end up hanging around your kid's friends parents a fair bit, and there's a fair chance they are similar to you. Which brings me to friend templates...

Meet a few people and like the article says, you will find many have similar attributes. Often you end up meeting people who have basically had parallel lives to yourself, in two ways:

- They literally have the same friends as you. I have this guy I went to school with briefly, who then turns up in all my friends' stories about what they got up to over the years, without me actually meeting him. Like a comedy show, he's just left when I arrive. I even had a random guy on an international flight tell me he was going to go see this guy, and I identified it because I knew so much about him. Anyway this is probably something that's happened to a fair few people, but they end up seeing the guy in real life and becoming friends.

- They have done the same things as you, unconnected. They went to your uni, or studied what you studied. They work in your line of work. When you were kids, you had the same interests. They're from your city. These kinds of people are great seeds for relationships, but there's lots of them, and not all of them are watered.
