Are you not worried about the conflict of interest inherent in providing offensive and defensive tools simultaneously?

If someone charged money for minesweeping and simultaneously gave out mines I think that would be a fairly clear problem. I think it's a good metaphor because it captures both the conflict of interest and large potential for collateral damage.
"Firsthand" and "Twitter" seem more than a little incongruent. But in any event, these claims were likely false. See https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2020/11/05/did-a-dead-11... and https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54874120
That cartoon literally ends with the resolution of all three heads being at the same height. It's depicting the equality of their outcomes. And it's hailing it as the goal to be achieved. The point isn't that stools are handed out demonstrating agency, but that they're handed out with the goal of outcome equality.
What you describe is not equality of outcome. If you impose some kind of lifestyle on different people, each of them will have different subjective experiences. Some will be completely content in state A whereas others will be extremely displeased. Are the outcomes equal? No. Simply the conditions.
Well, one is easy, the other is hard hah!

The big issue near as I can tell, is that defining what the job actually is, and what accomplishing it actually looks like is the hardest part most of the time.

Many of the most innovative solutions also come from changing pre-built assumptions about what they can look like.
I have been teaching high school English for about ten years. My total comp (including pension matching, cost of employer healthcare contributions, etc) is about 52k.

Money isn’t the reason I will be transitioning into a different career after this school year, but I have friends and contacts floating opportunities that would offer me an immediate 50-80 percent bump.

My wife and I have been saving aggressively to allow for a patient, intentional transition. I don’t expect my next career to feed my values to the same extent, but I am excited to open a new door.

Ask HN: Legal experts: Can Musk really back out of the Twitter deal?
To the M&A legal experts on this board: given the specific performance clause, Twitter disclosure that DAUs are estimates (and could in fact be higher), and stated intent of Musk to clean up the bots on Twitter when he announced a pseudo hostile takeover, is it actually possible that he can walk away from this deal using bots as an excuse to avoid a the general tech valuation drop to secure a better deal? Or would a Delaware judge laugh in his face and force specific enforcement?

There is a large merger arb on this if he is in fact on the hook for $54.20 which seems highly likely. I'm wondering what hackernews legal experts think.

But how do I know that no one is correlating those GUIDs with my personal information? And more important: how do you convince a common citizen that their votes are not being tracked when there's a unique identifier right there?

The way I see it, it's a system that only works in elections when it's not needed. Otherwise, all you need to suppress people's votes is some thugs saying "we have men on the inside - if you vote for someone else, we'll know". It doesn't need to be true, just plausible enough to make people think twice before voting.

Hey there. I've been thinking about implementing an editor agnostic WASM based plugin framework and started prototyping with some promising results, although there are also a lot of of WASM related constraints to consider.

I think cross-platform plugins would be hugely beneficial for the whole ecosystem, and also generally for new editors since they can potentially benefit from a larger plugin developer community.

It would be remiss not to mention Gold makes incredible jewellery. And jewellery - or the act of decorating ourselves to distinguish between one another - is an innate part of all our cultures.

An item can last longer than a lifetime, be passed down generations, melted and reformed into something new whilst being the "same" material. These are astonishing properties. Tulips and currency both rot, but at different rates.

The value of it is relative. In happy times, sure, not worth so much. Bartering to get yourself out of trouble...a Rolex tells the time and opens cell doors.

Gold is most certainly not a Tulip.

> a few isolated instances of innocent people being falsely convicted or forced to plead guilty as proof that such errors are pervasive and undermine the integrity of the justice system

The justice system does not operate on a best effort "good enough" basis. When the "justice" system harms an innocent person, it takes on the exact role of a criminal attacking a victim and does so in all of our names. The victim would have been much better off if the system had not been given power in the first place! Thus, we should insist that the false positive rate for the justice system must remain extremely low, lest it effectively function as the injustice system.

Furthermore, we should insist that the people operating the justice system are held accountable under the same laws that they uphold for everyone else. Otherwise all those lofty ideals come across as quite hollow.
Thats a good point. There is a problem around critics guiding only towards a 'reentrenchment' narrative rather than offering (and applying themselves to) some other paths.

> from the point of view that Amber Heard is a human being who has clearly suffered and is now facing immense public backlash

Why do people keep taking this odd stance? The reason she is facing backlash is exactly because she didn’t suffer, her stories were lies, she got caught in a multitude of lies, and it’s clear her claimed suffering was a made up extortion scheme. That is why the er is backlash that is why social media is eating her alive. You can’t just pretend she was a real victim and then try to cast the social media response in the light of that hypothetical, since people would not be calling her out for lying if she had not been lying.

> I think you can be sympathetic to Johnny Depp’s side of the case and still see Heard as someone who was sharing what seemed to her to be the essential truth of her situation.

No, no you cannot. If I go out of my way to craft a narrative that someone abused my and attempt to blackmail them with it, then throw out a plethora of probable lies, you cannot just say that this was “essentially true to me”

Re: Axie Infinity and Play 2 Earn games, it was explained to me that there is a significative number of people (many in the Philippines, apparently) making a living out of this. That is, their time is sunk into this game not because they enjoy it or derive any pleasure out of it -- from what I've seen, it's not an enjoyable game and wouldn't exist without the money reward aspect -- but because it's a way to earn a living.

Are these people enjoying the game? Doubtful. They found a way to make a living. Is this a "productive" way to earn a living? Also doubtful. But is it any different from professional poker players (other than poker is probably a better game than Axie Infinity)?

I know it rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what to call it though -- tulip, scam, ponzi, or just a wasteful use of human time that could be better spent in more pleasurable activities, if money wasn't an issue.

Yes? Prisons are openly coercive, as are taxes, not to mention the use of military force to enforce economic benefit. Lots of people openly back these concepts and institutions (including the qualities that make them coercive) with justifications like, "if we didn't coerce some people, our society wouldn't be able to function".
If hard work and persistence at school is cultural, then sure. Can you describe exactly what you mean by cultural in nature?

None of these differences make the merit program cultural in nature.

That's not the problem. The problem is the spending on political campaigning. They're bribing the politicians with the political power of office (if they don't take the money, then it's almost impossible for them to get elected). Other countries deal with this by having strict (and relatively low) limits on campaign spending.

I’m not sure of the details, but it seems in this case small numbers of votes were added in down-ballot contests, where there were likely sufficiently many voters who would have voted in the election but not in those contests.
It’s not just a delayed vote, it’s there is no recourse to a certified election. Once a president elect is certified, they are as good as inaugurated. That’s why 1/6 was so important.

The plan was to use the delay to kick the process into something favorable for Republicans, and to use fraudulent slates of electors to do so.

A certified presidential election has no review for good reason. The certification is in fact the election review process. All grievances are supposed to be settled by the Congress at that time. SCOTUS has no say over this process because if they did, that would take power away from the Congress, which would be unconstitutional.

As to what happens after that? See Hungary. See Russia. See any other country that has transitioned from democracy to autocracy. Elections will be held, it the results will be known ahead of time.

EU lawmakers endorse ban on combustion-engine cars in 2035
Poe's Law applies: I'm honestly not sure if you're being sincere or engaging in deliberate parody.
I just left a comment as a reply to this post because that statistic intrigued me. I had to go hunting for the actual paper, and when I finally found it it seems to suggest that discrepancy is because the study lumped students who have access to gifted programs with students that don't have access.

Additionally it identified that 83% of black students had access to a gifted program as opposed to 91% or something of white students.

Additionally the study cited says that they had several gaps in their data and used some statistical regressions to fill in those gaps. All this leads me to believe that we need to provide more access to gifted programs, and the problem isn't that we have a herd of racist teachers on the loose.
School was never meant to be "engaging". It's not recreation, it's work. The problem seems to be that we've lost the value of working hard and pushing through things we find dull and uninteresting, in order to attain a greater goal. Instead we expect everything to be engaging, stimulating and entertaining. Real world success is not like that - it's work - so better get into the habit early on.
Doesn't this just reflect the class of the average voter of the two parties, ie. measuring the different socio-economic realities? Seems a bit over the top to hitch it all on ‘political environment’.

If you work with the developers of those projects let them know that many details of an embedded CPU are generated by code. It's an important step to break the cycle of re-encoding information produced by machine in microcontroller standard libs.

> Do you think Democrats would be willing to have voter ID laws if the post office offered free IDs?

Possibly. The Democrats' motivations aren't enabling voter fraud—they're driven by concern that these laws will disadvantage them at the polls for non-fraud-related reasons, and probably to some degree by not wanting to give the Republicans a "win" over something they see as political grandstanding without an actual, realized-in-the-world problem that it's addressing. If you can address enough of one or both of those, they'd probably at least not fight it very hard, if not support it.

There are lots of reasons to choose a private school beyond test scores. Things like smaller class sizes, expectations about how students treat each other and staff.

My kids started at private school. A new public school with a STEM/STEAM concept opened near our house. At the public school, the goal of the administration is to fill seats (they get paid based on attendance) and to provide a safe environment - education was at least 3rd on their list if not lower. When covid hit the public school pretty much failed my kids. So we went back to the private school where the kids could actually get an education. My kids were ahead when they transitioned from private to public, they were behind when they transitioned back from public to private. The kids are much happier and tell me that 'everyone at public school is a bully'.

The private school uses different tests than the public school, so its hard to compare. A school where education is important and students are expected to be respectful seems like a great place to start from.
