> I think the idea is that the Dutch students wouldn’t have the same underlying racism that the American students acquire in their lifetime due to the lingering effects of slavery.

I mean... the Dutch had slaves. I'm sorry, I don't know how else to spell this out. The Dutch were slavers, just like the English. There are generations of black people living in the Netherlands for the same reason they are in the United States. Many of the slaves that came to America were brought on Dutch ships. They did outlaw it earlier, I think. But there are tons of racial issues in NL. I know I'm getting downvoted but I find this attitude that racism is somehow unique to the US to be pretty narrow to be honest.
Also see notmuch [1] for a frontend-agnostic tagging/search system that also works great for multi-gigabyte maildirs. I use it with the Emacs client and lieer [2] for populating the maildir and syncing tags with Gmail labels using the Gmail API, which is a lot more reliable than offlineimap for me.

> Wasn't that due to the fact that he acted in a way that looked as if he actually cared to defend his woman?

Nope. Some of the few who supported Will Smith have used that line of thought to justify his actions, but that's not why he was lambasted. The main reasons cited are that:

1) he attacked and subsequently threatened to harm Chris Rock, a comedian and fellow actor simply doing his job as a host and jester.

2) he diverted all the attention of Oscars away from the achievements of all the other winning actors with his petty slap

3) he behaved inconsistently as he himself had laughed at the GI Jane joke just before attacking Mr.Rock

I can't speak for the supposed feminists you've come across, but many actors, directors, and members of the public stateside expressed shock and disapproval towards the physical violence. Some like Jim Carey were angry at the audience for giving Mr. Smith a standing ovation while he gave a poorly reasoned justification for his actions during his award speech.

> Then what is a man supposed to do? go to court over an insult? be rude and start a shitshow of exchanging insults? take it and move on? wait for the other party to initiate the fight? or what?
I am not a westerner by any means, just curious.

Well firstly, he himself wasn't insulted and his wife isn't a defenseless child. As Mr. Smith was not the object of derision, he, in legal parlance, would have no reasonable claim to sue (much less attack) Chris Rock.

As far as insults go, Mr. Smith was the only foul-mouthed participant during the altercation. He already started the shitshow while Mr. Rock had instead attempted to end it by placating him. It's plainly evident from his actions that Mr. Rock had no interest in initiating a fight.

If Mr. Smith truly had a problem with his wife's alopecia being made fun of, he could have done what any normal person did and Tweet about how bald jokes aren't funny or how they hurt people's feelings or meaningless drivel like that. If he was more serious, he could have put money in some sort of campaign for alopecia.
If your job posting doesn't give some indication as to the possible salary range, I'm just not going to apply.

What? I'm going to go through some bullshit interview process that includes some esoteric algorithm problem that has nothing to do with the actual position in question and, even if it did, I could "npm install"/google my way out of only to find out later on that the job pays the same (or less) than what I make right now?

That's just a waste of everyone's time.

Thank you for taking the time to write these follow-ups. I was left with the same uneasy feeling at the end of the article, and you’ve articulated perfectly why.
I once worked in a shop where Exchange was configured not to send text equivalent with HTML emails. Even messages sent in plain text would be munged by Exchange into unreadable HTML hash. These may in fact be the default settings. I emailed the sysadmin asking that they be changed, and his only response was "Try using an email client from this century."

Mutt is NOT suited for the professional world. The professional world has standardized on Outlook and Exchange. If you use something different, no one is going to change anything for your prima donna ass if your emails turn out unreadable. Use Outlook for your company mail.
I am told that judges tend to be unimpressed with technically following a law in a way that blatantly ignores the intent; I suspect that if you tried to claim a larger range than actually exists in salaries you actually pay then they'd still find you to have broken the law.

I haven't had to do any business travel since the pandemic started, but I agree that proximity to a good airport can be an important consideration. There are probably a number of other reasons keeping me in the Denver area, but the ability to walk out my front door, take a train to an airport where I can travel anywhere in the country quickly and cheaply... it's a killer feature.

Some friends recently moved to Asheville, NC, which seems to be an attractive destination these days. But it's hard for them to find affordable flights, and they end up with out of the way connections that make travel onerous. Once when I was visiting Deadwood, SD, I talked to a guy who recently moved there from Denver and travels for work. But his company doesn't want to pay the high prices to fly out of Rapid City, so he found himself driving six hours back to Denver to catch flights!

If I was considering a move to a smaller metro or a rural area, I'd need to think hard about how well I could push back against my customer's requests for travel.

The federal government probably should not bail out IL and NY's pension systems, which are mismanaged. But have you done the math on this red/blue net dependency thing? I pulled up the numbers on proposed and theoretical pension bailouts, and then the net federal dependency numbers for red states, and it does not appear to be a close call. But I didn't look very carefully. Did you?

Illinois has the highest tax burden in the country. We're not Greece. We are paying through the nose for, well, everything. We get 95 cents on the dollar for our federal taxes, and we pay a lot of those.

Texas is a lower-tax state. It is, in some ways, better managed than Illinois. But it gets 20 cents back on every dollar it pays in federal taxes.

It seems to me that the reason not to bail out pension systems is that they're long-term unsustainable, and that they're mismanaged, and something has to be done to stop the bleeding. But it's hard to argue that bailing them out would be a redistributive injustice. We subsidize the low-tax red states.

(A comically similar microcosm of this debate occurs within Illinois, with rural Illinoisans regularly making noise about wanting to divest itself of Chicagoland. Go right ahead, Peoria!)
A long time back I entertained the idea of buying hc.im and using the email address le@hc.im.

Can you please omit swipes and name-calling from your posts here? especially on divisive topics and regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

This topic generates strong feelings for obvious and legitimate reasons. But that makes it more important (not less) to follow the site guidelines. That's why we added this one:

Same. I think some of us learn best by having a map of the territory and an understanding of how everything all fits together first. Having that better helps us deep-dive into and master specific areas. This one single book provides that map.
The four year cycle of Bitcoin caused by halvings is not a secret, certainly not to Coinbase. Hiring in that fourth year that is always a bear market was folly. They've been in the game too long and have more data than anyone to know that "this time is different" was dumb.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Also you've inadvertently proven that a pillar of objective US economic policy is the subjective experience of wealthy people.

Politicians appease the rich to keep the economy afloat. That's how it's always worked throughout history, that's how it works now, but I would argue that it must not be allowed to continue working that way in the future. Unless we want to keep waiting for a handout from the rich under trickle-down economics.

The solution to all of this of course is to examine the opposite choices that were available to us at any point in the last 40+ years. Some low-hanging fruit is stuff like Who Killed the Electric Car, or when Bill Clinton caved to Newt Gingrich and dismantled social programs and let the The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act happen which created/exacerbated these 10 years boom-bust cycles, or when Ronald Reagan took Jimmy Carter's solar panels off the white house and set renewable energy in the US back 30+ years, or when we kept Cold War military spending levels after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, just on and on and on and on and on. An infinitude of unforced errors which ran up a bill that Gen X and younger now has to pay.

That was a bit of a rant sorry, but I almost can't believe we're talking about yield curves when a modest 3 bedroom home costs half a million dollars and working people are making $15/hr if they're lucky. If I were a young person today listening to an older person gaslight me that nobody wants to work, I mean, I don't see how I could do anything but laugh at them. Just outright laugh at that level of cognitive dissonance.

I’m well aware. “Less focused on” doesn’t mean “has no effect.”
"Also, the lack of address of real problems of tailwindcss of OPs comment in terms of mantainability is something you consider."

Not sure what you mean by that. I've been doing this since we did layouts with tables and shims in the 90s. I've found TW pretty nice to maintain myself.

"It's not that much harder", but a) it's a simple example and b) now you're going to litter your code with a load of hard coded media widths?

Let's talk about something concrete. Let's take a really simple layout that changes border and margin responsively (this, for me, is seamless).

<div className="m-8 lg:m-0">
<div className="border-2 md:border-4">

</div>
</div>

How would you do that?
If you go back to '74, gubernatorial elections are pretty similar in distribution to the Presidential since '76, but with less recent strength; you've got a narrow Dem majority in '74, a plurality win by a Democratic in 1990, and a lot of big blowout wins by Republicans, with all but one after 1994 being 10-point or greater margins ('98 was over 30 points, 2006 was a hair under 10 points, but it was also a weird four way race.)

“~50%” as the typical Democratic share of the vote in Texas requires a generous interpretation of the approximation symbol.

Yikes. Insulting your employees is not a good look.

> We praise in public and criticize in private

But you’re criticizing employees in public right now? As the CEO and founder I think you need to be receptive to criticism and take it on the chin. This tweet reads as if it was written in a frustrated, spontaneous episode. That’s also not a really inspiring look for outsiders or investors.

Best of luck, I’m moving over to Kraken. Treating and talking about employees like this isn’t okay.
The Wikileaks diplomatic cables releases showed the US had been funding the opposition groups in Syria for years. Then, shortly after the war began CIA operation Timber Sycamore began supplying the opposition faction with weapons, supplies and training. Also, official US intervention happened before official Russian intervention.

While I won't deny the Russian or ISIS involvement, the US was also always involved.
Beginner developers constantly reinvent the wheel

Intermediate developers use frameworks and code that already exists to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Expert developers use thin frameworks and minimize the external dependencies they need and maintain an internal library of simple foundational methods.
From personal experience I can't disagree more with you. I tend to play video games that have less loading time and tutorials because I just don't have the time to play and when I want to play I don't want to sit and wait for what will be mostly a 10-20min session.

Azure has ARM in preview, and AWS has had it for ages. You should be able to create multi-arch builds in CI.

For actually creating multi-arch, I recommend you stay as far away as possible from Docker and use Podman and Buildah. The latter unbundles some of the Docker manifest commands, giving you far more control over how you create multi-arch images. I wasted 4 months on Docker tooling, and got it right in half a week with Podman. This meant switching from DCT (Podman doesn't support this at all) to Cosign, but Cosign is far more sensible than DCT.

There are a rare few containers that you can get away with running on x86.
>And why is having quotas for healthy foods extreme?

Because there is no such thing as a universally healthy food. "Healthy food" is a buzzword used to make people feel good about the food choices they make that (usually) don't taste that great.

The primary concern with healthy eating is to eat enough and in a decent balance of a laundry list of things: protein, fats, (carbs), vitamins, minerals and probably some more. You can't eat all of them at once either, because some of the vitamins and minerals can end up blocking each other from absorption. Missing any of these for long enough in large enough quantities (or large enough imbalances) is going to cause health issues.

Some people like calling foods that have few calories and little nutritional value as "healthy", but the value those foods provide comes from limiting the average person from eating something else. Eating a cucumber doesn't give you much, but you're less likely to have those fries after you've had the cucumber. But you certainly wouldn't be fine with only eating cucumbers long-term.
> I think if you can get the latency situation more under control, then I see an opportunity for extremely high-end competitive gaming experiences to unfold

This is basically never going to happen. Really competitive gamers complain about the most minimal lags in response time that are to most eyes completely imperceptible, will crank down settings to get there, and pay for high-end equipment where necessary. On the other hand, streaming over my local network from my gaming PC to my phone introduces lag that's noticeable to me, very much a non-competitive gamer.

There's a hard limit to how much the lag can be reduced here. Unless it can be essentially eliminated through some kind of AI magic competitive gamers will care.

Walmart is a bad comparison there; they have an enormous headcount of low-paid staff. Many tech companies are far lower headcount, but with high executive pay.

Looking at some other companies, Activision-Blizzard's CEO alone makes enough to pay every employee a $15,000 bonus. Reed Hastings at Netflix makes enough to pay every employee $3800. And that's not counting any of the rest of the executive staff, or all the other ways money flows out of a company to non-employees, like dividends and stock buybacks.

I think there's certainly a lot of room for wages to go up, though i'm skeptical that it will come at the expense of things like executive pay or share buybacks.

"Has become"?

There were lots of pieces written into his personality and indecisive style of non-leadership while he was still at Twitter.

He comes across as gullible (like a lot of crypto enthusiasts), naive, wishy-washy, and not especially intelligent. I'd love to hear from people at HN who know him personally if that's accurate, but I'm also thinking of actual interviews with him that I've seen.
"Who is hosting the blockchain?"

Miners/Stakers who is incentivize to validate the network and maintain the collective consensus.

All your points are valid and universally known but the more important here is whether or not those vulnerabilities are inherently caused by the nature of blockchain or tehcnical problems that we can/need to solve.

A good blockchain is not owned by anyone, any changes made need to go through multiple layers of peer review.

We are still very rooted in our current ways of doing things hence we are seeing phenomenon where companies are trying to take control by either building their own blockchain or centralised service on top of a blockchain. But if I travel back to the 70's and told you that someday you can run an Internet company, would you believe it?

We are no where near endgame but if you dig deep enough, you will see many exciting technical breakthroughs. One of the fascinating one is zero-knowledge validation. Blockchain could be the solution or maybe not, I don't care, I'm excited about the innovative opportunities that it brought upon.
Waiting for GitHub actions to have ARM.
Hackers aren't usually in the business of locking people out of their money. There's no profit in that for the hacker.

However, I'm sure the MPC wallet prompts you to write down your half of the key on a piece of paper during wallet set-up. That way if your device fails (or you cross fate with a particularly chaotic hacker), you can import your key into a new wallet.
No. No they're not.
Multiarch builds are pretty darn easy to setup in my experience (exclusively Linux based images FYI) so I’d refocus the energy spent on Virtualbox, etc to just setting them up and then problem solved.

At the risk of not fitting into the conventional HN profile, the pandemic got me my current job. They were desperately needing to fill positions, and they were the only ones who would give me an interview.

The thing about offlineimap and isync (which I prefer because it is significantly faster in my experience) is they work great until they don't. I originally switched from offlineimap to isync, because of some bug (might have been offlineimap or exchange IMAP support, I don't recall) which caused some email loss.
Just this week I had to deal with some isync issue which causes the sync to duplicate mails when uploading to the server. I still haven't figured out what's going on, I'm getting Keywords not supported errors from the server when syncing, which caused this. It happened once before and I had to wipe the whole directory and resync to fix it.

I am now looking at what other solution to use. I used to use muttator which was a plugin for thunderbird that emulated mutt behavior and was great, but that hasn't been maintained for >7 years

"definitely probably maybe"
The correct way to communicate this information is to call 911. Operators are highly trained in collecting the right information and getting it out to the right people quickly.

Or hell even just saying "break break, I am a civilian with life saving information" and waiting would have been acceptable in an emergency. The comms manager would have directed him to change to a backup frequency and taken the information. Instead he tried to "fit in" and play cool guy.

As a holder of multiple FCC licenses, he is obligated by law to know this stuff, which is why I am being overly hard on him.
