What exactly about unions is progressive? It was something that came out of the industrial revolution, had its breakthrough in the 1930s, its peak in the 1970s, and has been in steady decline for 40 years, and for good reasons.

Promoting postwar politics in 2022 is not progressive, it's regressive.

The only information provided by the company was that there is a chili shortage and that production will resume at some point, with new orders being fulfilled after September. This post attempts to explain a little about the company's supply chain and consumer demand, by interviewing someone who has somewhat intimate knowledge of it. So, it is actually high effort speculation, which is all they could do given the available information.

You are supposed to use defaults, which is the command-line tool to set preferences. There are APIs in Objective-C, and I would assume in Swift.

While I agree with the authors sentiment, I do not think there is a difference in kind between TV advertising and social media advertising. I think it is a difference in scale. With the amount of data points a program can collect on user behaviour and identity, it becomes much easier to tune advertisements. This happens in TV as well (polling, viewership stats, demographics, focus groups) but obviously nowhere near to the same level of breadth and depth someone like Facebook can achieve.
I don't think AIs will ever be capable of truly great writing, but within 30 years (if not sooner) they will be capable of (a) writing clickbait articles capable of going viral, (b) waging complex PR campaigns including the creation of author personalities that do not actually exist, and (c) fooling literary agents and publishing houses and selling thousands or millions of copies.

This problem already exists in the bottom reaches of the self-publishing ecosystem--the AI-generated scammy "books" don't sell very well, but they take no effort to create--which could lead to a resurgence of traditional publishing's flagging prestige, but that would be short-lived, because New York publishing is probably no more than 10 years from getting Sokal'd in a high-profile way.

It’s a useful article in the sense that it raises awareness of what a basket case that city is.

My dumb pet theory is that SF found itself between the two motions of the left-right pendulum.

A city that tolerates huge amounts of homelessness and urban crime and which therefore should be dirt cheap to live in and subsequently provide _some_ opportunity to its inhabitants to pull themselves out. But… it’s astronomically expensive and filled with people who largely don’t work for the “tangible world” and who’s industry and wealth is unreachable to most without the means for education.

So it won’t swing left to cater for the poor but it also won’t swing right to make it unattractive to the poor.

In the meantime everyone knows that you can run amok and basically run-sack a wall greens and you won’t go to jail, there’s filthy rich people everywhere who may help you with a handout and the weather is forgiving. If I was homeless in America I’d be tempted to get on a bud and try to get to San Francisco.

Solve problems, and document what worked. You'll help yourself in the future if you have the same problem, and will help others who have the same problem. Even "rare"/edge-case issues are valuable; your piece might be the only one online about it.

Chase rabbit trails. They might be a distraction, or they might turn into a story you could tell in a blog post. What made something the way it is? How have things changed over time? Stories like that with a connection between your product and interests and the wider world are perfect.

Read widely. Find connections between what different writers are talking about, and share your take.

Be curious. Keep your eyes open, notice things that could make an interesting story. They're everywhere—and often the most noticeable when we're not actively trying to find them.

Go for a run (or do anything that helps you get in a bit of a meditative state). That's a great way for the things you've been thinking about and working on to come together into new ideas, that you can then write about.

And, for more search-driven ideas, look at your site's Google Webmaster Tools to see what people are searching to find your site, use Ahrefs or Google Adwords Keyword Planner or other similar tools to find more general things people are searching for, and pay attention to what people in your community, your customers, support emails, and more are talking about for ideas.

This is a strange comparison.

A government is not a household. Government spending, when domestic, doesn't mean that money goes away. It means that the money flows into other parts of the economy. Say, the government gives money to a doctor or civil servant who then spends it, i.e. they give it to someone else in the country, who can then spend it. Often it will relatively quickly flow back through the government again via taxes. Government spending is economic activity, and in many (most?) countries the state is one of the biggest employers and investors in things like infrastructure.

In this case, it appears that instead of, say, giving money to a construction company who would than give money to workers and suppliers of materials (who could then spend that money in other parts of the Salvadorian economy) and getting a nice road for the people of El Salvador to boot, the government has instead given money to foreign investors in exchange for Bitcoin, and now those investors, because the magic line has gone down, are saying that the Salvadorian government can't have all the money back for the number of Bitcoin they have. I.e., they've lost out.

Of course, there's no way to know which way the line's going to go next, that's part of the excitement of gambling on Dunning-Krugerrands, but it seems rather obvious that there's a very fundamental difference between a government being an economic actor in its country, and a government being an unproductive speculator sending (tax) money abroad.

No human has ever beaten NetHack without being "spoiled". That is, in NetHack culture, reading how-to guides or the game's source code to understand what process to follow to identify unknown objects or to navigate tricky situations. It is unsurprising that with training rules that prohibit AI's from similarly being spoiled no AI has beaten the game.

Your eyes aren't static objects and can change the lens shape and your focal distance to an extent. The theory is that by not forcing your eyes to strain and exercise towards seeing things at a farther distance they don't get the very exercises that may mitigate or delay further degradation or change in focal length in the opposite direction.

I don't know of any research offhand that definitely says it does or does not permanently effects your vision, but it isn't hard to get confusing or contradictory results if studies aren't well prepared specifically because your eyes can change focus slightly through concentration and can also get tired and will effect the maximum focal change possible at different times.
I was trying to figure out how to do a factory reset, which they call "erase all content and settings". It's available through settings, but not in settings. You have to open the settings app, then in the menu bar click the app name, and click the erase all content and settings button. Searching for "erase", "reset", "clear", "empty", etc in settings returns no results.

Of course, I couldn't tell if it was indeed a factory reset or not - what even is content? Does it include non-user scoped files and folders? Why not just use normal language people are accustomed to?!

> I legit wonder if maybe some of you are just super neurodivergent and need to tag yourselves as such before making such wild ass statements about how to interact with other people. Fucking HN.

I've come to this realization given how prevalent tech is with people with ADHD and Autism pretty early on and since HN is mainly tech people it's quite common to see this type of response. I used to think it was most trying to live up to some edgelord persona they've built up online but after going from idealism based startup World and stepping into the megacorp level tech worker I think it really is clear that it's the former given how they interact with people and can't read social cues at all and feel the need to interject with outlandish conclusions with seemingly no tact or discretion.

The prevalence of this issue is spoken openly by people who are afflicted but have developed coping mechanisms, but I fear that is the exception not the norm as most just insulate themselves further rather than ever address them.

As for OP, I've been in demanding relationships with partners that seem to have a need to want to make it clear to their friends/family that they're on course to marry up more than have a fulfilling relationship, and it was incredibly draining albeit an amazing learning experiences so I'm glad they never went beyond the girlfriend level for that reason. I've seen some pretty stark reactions to people in long term relationships (mainly boomer age) who 'made those work' during COVID which re-enforced the fact that most people were in what were marriages of convenience(s) as it was clear to see when they were forced to live with one another under lockdown and things got dark real fast--hence why so many divorces and things like substance abuse took place during that time.

With that said I'm glad you've been able to regain agency in your professional life, perhaps she was just giving you a goal to get your mind back to former ways?

Firstly, a vast swathe of commentators have been saying for some time that it's a bubble. You don't need to be some sort of prophet to see that reddit meme stocks and half-million-dollar monkey jpeg profile pictures constitute a bubble.

Secondly just saying that the squiggly line is going to go down at some point in the future is not insight. Ask Melvin Capital how spotting the bubble in meme stocks worked out for them. Markets can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent and all that.

I’m at a tiny startup doing SOC 2 Type 2 at the moment. As far as I can tell it’s a complete joke. We have written policies but no-one knows what they are and they are never referred to ever. The app is riddled with SQL injection and who knows what other vulnerabilities because the original engineer has no idea what he was doing (working on fixing this!). There’s no auditing, no logging, no security scans (unless Dependabot alone counts), one shared SSH key - I could go on.

And apparently it’s going quite well. No reason to think we won’t get certified. I don’t know whether to laugh.

Easy to check yourself - find list of gun ownership by country, or by OECD, or by state. Find homicide rates for each, also easy. Put in excel or Google sheets, run a correlation.

>Well, no - they might have slightly different laws, but generally speaking firearms are wildly available everywhere.

Such a simplistic argument would then imply crimes, homicides with guns, etc., should be the same rate across states, and they are not. By your argument, no per state laws would have any effect, in which case they're useless. But this seems far from true.

So, if laws do have any effect, it should be detectable. Since the correlation for gun owner vs overall homicide rates point to the opposite direction, and it seems like that there are far more defensive gun uses, perhaps people are deterring some crime.

>Can you show me where it says that?

Page 15: "Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year (Kleck, 2001a), in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008 (BJS, 2010)."

Also, somewhat related, p16, "Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies".

If charging is 5 mins, then not everyone needs to charge at home.
That's the importance of fast charging - not the convenience.

For example, everybody seems to manage without a petrol pump at home.

If you have dedicated charging stations - then the problem becomes simpler than providing high power to every home.

Still a challenge - but not quite so insurmountable.

This is exactly why I think social media is cancerous, it normalizes that conversations devolve into a contentious battle of words for dopamine feedback loops. It's pretty pathetic that you think that is how people interact in the real World, perhaps you should interact with people in real life more often to address you 'compulsion' rather than assert your need to do so in every interaction.

You're right, I did downvote you because that's an awful take.

1/ In the same way that as long as I don't sell my GME share it's an unrealized loss. It's something I can afford to do as an individual because I can throw a hundred bucks away for the lulz. It's another thing to be a country and to make Bitcoin a mandatorily accepted currency and gamble your people's money away for the lulz.

2/ You've seen how cryptocurrency has behaved in the past ten years, and you think "market cycles" are a thing, in this domain ? There is nothing cyclic about cryptocurrency prices. There is nothing rational about these prices. It'll go back up the next time there's a successful scam managing to raise enough money to buy 2 minutes of Matt Damon telling you you're a limp dick for not putting it all in $LUNA, but it'll still be propped by nothing.

3/ "The fundamentals are here" is peak crypto apologist in denial speak. There are no fundamentals to bitcoin's current price, aside from "funny computer money goes up". All of Bitcoin's current value is propped up by speculation, lies (mmmh delicious unbacked Tether being a massive cause for the rise of its value).

Stanford is self-insured and has weirdly inconsistent ideas around riskiness of various activities. And no risk appetite, tolerance, or ability to reevaluate once something has received its scarlet letter.

As far as I can tell, the only way to do anything is to have it tied to a grant or sports. That profit motive provides back-pressure against risk aversion. That means non-research, non-sportsball activities are doomed to being sanitized to the point of boredom.
