Bullying. Only boy is 3 and goes to a daycare setting. I think there's a lot out there for older kids but, I haven't really had a great sense for how to discuss some of the stuff I have to with him. Like when a kid hits, what if it's the same kid every day, when is defending yourself OK. My kid is a completely non-violent kid and gets his feeling hurt when other kids are. Even in disagreements, he never resorts to pushing, hitting, biting, etc. A lot of the stuff he's been subjected to are probably not bullying. But, just rougher kids (who may have older siblings so a bit more rough and tumble). My kid also enjoys sharing with friends and unfortunately that's a skill many kids his age have not acquired. However, at times, I feel like I'm raising a pacifist because I don't want to condone violence, however, I very much intend to teach him (in time) that standing up for himself is acceptable and will likely be required in some situations. I just I don't know when that is and just kind of floundering my way through. A big fear of mine is he ends up a target of bullying in a sustained manner. I personally remember being young and was never bullied because I never allowed it. There's always going to be another kid trying to show off or elevate his social capital at the expense of another kid's; and I was very aware of that dynamic and made sure to never allow it (even throwing the first punch if that's what was needed). These are different times though.
They're going after all kinds of random nonsense, not just legality.

Yes they're the "bad guys". They are not just trying to adhere to laws.
I haven't viewed the whole thread, but one thing I haven't seen any discussion on is how dangerous this is for survivors of abuse. It's not uncommon for victims of domestic abuse, stalking, sexual assault, etc. to apply for CCW as a means of defense. Their address and other PII was made immediately available to the general public, _including their abuser_.

I've not submitted a PRI in the state of CA (which is what I believe is required for CCW data), but based on privacy laws I assume they're not handing out addresses on a whim.
All my kids tantrum for literal hours. I think the eldest used to do up to 4 hours when mom went out. Often it lasts to the point they fall asleep or vomit. A neighbor even suggested an exorcist.

I think one child has realized that if they escalate it, we stop ignoring them. So instead of going on for hours, they just hit someone or do something drastic like threatening to destroy the TV. That brings in an ultimatum and they can admit defeat honorably. I don't think this is the best way to do it, though.

They get plenty of sleep now - we found that it does cut it down a lot. There's a loop where they're too tired to sleep, always tired because they're not sleeping enough. So it's usually dinner at 6-7, lights out by 9.

We find that being proactive works - "Mommy's going out for a few hours and will bring back ice cream if you behave." But a checklist for defusing tantrums when they happen would be nice.

Ask HN: What lifestyle choices have led to improved cognitive function/memory?
I’ve got a terrible memory compared to some people I know, and am looking for ways to improve general memory, not with something like Anki
Because it’s an ad hominem. Dispute the argument, not the person saying it.
We are witnessing the last years of the human internet. In the near future AI generated news reports, articles, blogs, comments and eventually even pictures and videos will become increasingly indistinguishable from that produced by real humans operating in the real world.

Powerful groups will mass populate the internet with fake content to skew public perception. Imagine the power of being able to generate a million realistic comments from realistic profiles across social media websites with the click of a button. Today they already control the online narrative via selective moderation and algorithms which only show you certain posts, but being able to mass generate human-level content will be a game changer. Its already happening on websites like Reddit where bots are rampant and blend in with other users, occasionally referencing brands or pushing a narrative.

Today, you can be reasonably sure I'm not a bot, but in 2040 you won't be so sure. This is why its important that a service like the Wayback Machine or, even better, the Ethereum blockchain exists, to timestamp webpages and media for future observers. Content provably produced before 2022 will be considered more likely to be human produced.
Thanks for the response. Maybe I’m remembering the features being moved incorrectly. Regardless, I did feel cheated because I had just paid money for the app and now it was asking me to pay more money for what I thought I had just bought.
I didn’t realize this was open source (maybe it wasn’t 2 years ago?). Also, it was 2 years ago. There’s no way to get a refund from apple.
I’ll be honest, I just wanted to caution people so that they knew it had to be paid for twice. However, I see that it is now free from the App Store with an in app pay to upgrade. That’s definitely better than the experience that I had. So good job changing that.

Edit: it isn’t free on the apple app store. I failed to realize that I t shows as free for me because I already purchased it of course.
Wikipedia needs money?
I get tons of email like "Thanks for the application, you're the kind of person we're looking for, please come interview at such-and-such a time, and bring the following documentation..."

If I was looking for entry-level QA or IT jobs, I'd probably explore one just for laughs. I suspect it's less of a hacker/pii problem, and more my own fault for having the kind of email address that random weirdos are likely to type in when they are doing something hinky on employment websites.
Easy in theory, a bona-fide gift means money/goods doesn't change hands. Straw purchases require a transaction. In practice it can be more complicated to prove if people lie.
A new secretary at a company I consult for received an email saying she needed to buy gift cards for an employee. Our best guess is scammers look for people posting about their new administrative assistant jobs on LinkedIn, etc....
Thank you for the reminder! I didn't do the Wordle this morning and would have missed it today if not for your comment :)
> Nothing in the constitution signals you have a right to privacy as so decreed the court

That's not true. There's a previous ruling that determines that "liberty" in the 14th amendment includes privacy for many things. Roe v Wade determined that abortion was one of those things. Overturning Roe doesn't overturn the precedent it was based on.
Back in days when our services ran on metal or VM, if we got paged during off-hours and had something else going on, a simple reboot almost always fixed the issue.

We, developers, never liked the reboots though, always wanted to find out root cause, so that we won't be paged again. So, I guess, we moved to the cloud. Now we don't get paged in the middle of night.

But yeah if it was my own company and I was on vacation, I rather take 30 seconds to reboot the server instead of worry about paying thousands of dollars.

As for lack of network coverage, you could do scheduled daily/hourly reboots while on vacation, if it makes sense for your service. Or if your an outage will cause massive disruption to your users, then perhaps hire a part-time sysadmin while on a vacation.
Boss would have to have really stepped way over the line to cross the "ignore" threshold. If I were not in a position to do anything about it I'd ideally be looking for another job before reaching that point.

If you're someone's boss then my expectations of your ability to conduct yourself professionally in everyday email correspondence is higher not lower.

There do exist certain technologies and practices that do in effect impose draconian power over the sender. What I do is not one of them, and if I were to become aware of anything I do to inadvertently impose on others then I would take extraordinary steps to avoid it.
I too have enjoyed Thunderbird for a long time. It's lightweight and fast which is a big plus for me. It makes showing people how to encrypt their emails very easy. The only thing missing and there is probably an addon for this is a sync with Fastmail's aliases and sending identities to give it the same composing pull-down as their web interface. I sometimes forget to manually set the "From:" to the correct alias.
In the UK it's 'obtaining a pecuniary gain by deception' the same as lying on your CV. If you're routinely outsourcing parts of your job (because you can't do it yourself) then you've met the standard for prosecution.
Are you really claiming that all 3 companies would have approved the situation if they knew?

Of course not, which is why overemployed people hide this information from their employers.
I just installed the iOS app and as far as I can tell there's no option to sync using Git.
Ask HD: Shower radio and Bluetooth speaker combo?
My shower radio needs new batteries. Instead of buying more C batteries, I wonder if I should buy a Bluetooth shower speaker with radio functionality and rechargeable battery.

My current shower radio has a very useful feature: By pushing one button, I can turn it on with a timer that will automatically turn itself off. After entering the shower I push the button 5 times for a 10-minute timer. In addition to letting me not worry about remembering to turn the radio off, it's also an easy way to time my showers' length.

I would use any replacement device first and foremost as radio, and having the aforementioned timer functionality is important. Being able to use its Bluetooth functionality is also important (otherwise I'd just get more batteries for my current radio), but I don't expect to do so very often.

I see numerous no-name Chinese Bluetooth shower speaker/radio combinations on Amazon, but can't tell how terrible their UI/UX is. Suggestions?
It's a guise when the law is not actually what motivates their decisions. Like if you used the speed limit as an excuse not to go to a particular grocery store, or something.

Yes, unless those prescribed emotions are causing my body to care more to tend to survival than the normal state of chilling

How does the ability to exercise one's will have anything to do with whether or not one has the will?

Partial control of my complex meat machine from subconscious levels of my mind do not invalidate the idea that I have complete control over select scenarios. For instance, you have decided to make an argument based on the idea that your meat machine and you share more of a collaborative existence than you would assume a creature with free will would share with its meat-or-otherwise machine, whereas I hold that existence is naturally inextricably tied up with the act of acquiring energy via eating and alleviating whatever burdens sleep is designed to lift and these facts should not be confused as indicating we are slaves to our vessels. Quite a weak argument to me.
I'd invite you to read the grandparent's post again, all the way to the end. People tend to forget today but smoking was a very social activity done by all the 'cool kids.'

I'll definitely keep that line of argument in mind next time my rightist friends tell me I'm being paranoid for taking Justice Thomas at his word when he says he wants to roll back gay marriage and contraception.
> We may have all heard the saying “use it or lose it”. We experience it when we feel rusty in a foreign language or sports that we have not practised in a while

Another sad thing is that we lose our memory in a step function. We remember something for a long time without using it, and then all of sudden it's gone from our memory. That may explain why many lifers in Google could interviewed so badly. They joined Google when there was no leetcode and when Google had amazing high standards in asking math and algorithm puzzles and novel systems design questions. So, they are really good. They are also confident because they achieved a lot and led amazing projects in Google. Yet when they started to answer interview questions, they struggled with basic facts.
Understood.

Maybe it's cause I had earlier experimented with a subscription instead of paying once for the new features.

Shoot me an email please, I'll provide you with some coupon codes so you can get the pro features without paying, just in case you want to try it out again.
What pharma-bro doesn't touch on is insurance doesn't always cover these drugs. There are some real cost savings, here, and really, you should shop around, anyway. Fair enough on the anti-parasitic drug, but he also noted he considered acquiring it, and we've seen what he has done with acquired drugs in the past.

I have to go through a fight (via prior auth requests for drugs I was already on, sometimes taking weeks, causing loss of refills in the process) at least a couple of times a year over medication coverage.

I see nothing bad about what Mark Cuban's pharmacy is doing. If anything, it should put some pressure out there on the prescription drug market.
It was ethnostate socialism. It was a command economy where industry was at the service of the people, but they had a perverse idea of who their people were and who they weren't.

It really was a left-wing economic model with extreme right-wing social policy, plus lots of genocide.
Because I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want:

* A desktop package that isn’t a vehicle for ads (like Windows and ChromeOS).

* A desktop package that doesn’t require you to write your own one-off scripts to work around stupid deficiencies (like GNU/Linux).

* A desktop package that doesn’t constantly throw away all its “legacy” and break a bunch of stuff (like Mac).

Huh.
I'm not sure how you would detect those clusters? The language models wouldn't give it away for sure, and getting residential IPs has never been easier than in the present.
Two counterpoints:

First, the top performers on my team right now are essentially ghosts. One I just went on a business trip outside the country with, and I hadn't seen his face for a year and I might not see it again ever. Another one is my "lieutenant" and in two years I've seen him face to face twice. No video. He's probably leaving the country soon and I don't care, because he'll be in the same longitude.

The other point, since this is FAANG, how is the conversation going to go with HR if I want to terminate someone because they won't turn on their camera?
Looking at a few prescriptions, more common use ones such as acid reflux medication, anti-depressants, etc, CostPlus Pharmacy is definitely not always the cheapest option.

Take for example Sertraline, an anti-depressant/anxiety medication.

Cost Plus Pharmacy: https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/sertraline-100mg-table...

GoodRX: https://www.goodrx.com/zoloft

At face value, CPP seems cheaper until you realize they don't include the shipping in their main shown price.

There are other cases like nexium where they just straight up aren't the cheapest option even before shipping:

https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/esomeprazole-40mg-caps...

https://www.goodrx.com/nexium

Honestly I think any article whose end goal is to actually help people find cheap RX where they either don't have insurance or their insurance charges an insane co-pay for a prescription should be recommending they shop around to see what is cheapest.

Obviously this is a very small sample size and there could easily be cases where CPP is more useful (as Martin himself points out, it actually does make Imatinib cheaper), but this just further proves the fact that shopping around in this case is important

Honestly this would be less of an issue if CostPlus didn't claim it had the 'lowest possible prices' and the news coverage for CostPlus wasn't basically giving that impression too.

This is something I did pretty early on and my colleagues said the results were bad or not worth pursuing. Now that we can all do it it's going to become HATED.
Why is suffocation a prerequisite? Why shouldn't I be able to shoot a cop any time they abuse their authority? For example, if violence is appropriate in defending individual liberty, then by your argument I should be able to shoot a cop if they arrest for me a crime I'm innocent of. Or for a crime that I'm not innocent of, but feel that I would not get a fair trial for. Or if a cop inconveniences me by pulling me over when I'm in a hurry. Basically, it sounds like you're supporting a principle of violence left at the discretion of the individual.
>Not a whole lot you can do since it would be really hard to prove any kind of malfeasance, and to make the accusation would just make you look crazy and paranoid.

No no, it's trivial to prove. You just ask them to work from a supervised location for a short period of time and that they can't have their phone at their desk. You just have to care.
Maybe a silly question but how are Netflix employees faring with this change? I know that Netflix is famous for paying 99% cash. How does that work when the stock crashes 80%?

You are either incredibly naive, or you are being intentionally obtuse. When you can pick and choose what ideas or people are acceptable to even discuss, you are controlling the extent to which people can explore ideas on your platform, and subsequently, how they might vote. The innate human needs to belong to a community are easily exploited by a social network that is not necessarily organic. Same way religious institutions can sway elections, or any institution that dictates culture. Tech just enables that process to scale.
If you don't understand the difference between sperm cells and a fertilized egg then you are just being obtuse.
This is mostly a solved problem on distros that support the OCS URL standard (all the major ones, I believe):

https://www.opencode.net/dfn2/ocs-url/-/blob/master/docs/OCS...
Makes sense, thank you for clarifying. For what it's worth, I don't think there's really room for a comparable strategy on the left; most of the work being done in social policy on the left is oriented _against_ proscriptive laws, so it wouldn't make sense to similarly collect the information of people doing things now that might be in violation of laws passed later. That is to say, part of the definition of left-wing social policy is that it tends to increase the space of things society allows, rather than reduce it, and so gathering lists of undesirables is not really going to help. I'm sure the Marxist-Leninists would love to try, though.
I wish everything did this, including utm_ parameters when sharing/copying links. They're so long and ugly otherwise!
> To be honest I don't really understand the sentiment that developers can get away with not knowing basic sysadmin stuff

It's not that. I used to own a VPS ISP. I know how the infrastructure stuff works.

It's that I don't care. I want to write code and deploy it to a new machine.

The time savings as a developer is enormous.
Gonna have to ask for a source on that one.
> I don't see how even hundreds of hours on leetcode would make you better at OOP, system modeling, building abstractions.

Because you know the foundations.

Knowing how a compiler works all the way down makes me a better programmer. Knowing assembler makes me a better high level language programmer. Knowing in detail how a car works makes me a better driver. Knowing how electricity works at the low level prevented a very costly mistake by the electrician who was wiring it (he had no idea). Knowing chemistry prevented a very costly mistake by the roofer of my house.
> increasingly indistinguishable from that produced by real humans operating in the real world.

Hell, I imagine it is going to surpass even the most creative, talented humans "pretty soon"(5-10 years), to the point where people will actively search out AI generated content.

My concern is whether this will trigger the end of human creativity, or if humans will use it to inspire themselves and still go on to continue creating art.
Why is it verboten for left-wingers to believe this? To me, police pulling back from black communities in retaliation for the protests fits into their narrative. But then again I don't really understand what either side is on about, these days.
I don't think Amazon is going to evaluate this on the legal merits.

In a situation like this, Lambda is almost pure profit. Their actual spend here was negligable.

They are almost certain to waive the fee, because they don't want the perception among developers that AWS is a time bomb.
> section 1.6 about the power method

Yeah 1.6 is a really cool exercise! https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.13446.pdf#page=19

It's so cool to see of why this works (as an engineer I learned about power method with handwaving explanation "it works in the limit" but I never knew why it works).

So what do we do if we want u_2, the eigenvector that corresponds to lambda_2 ?
Math overflow says we can just subtract the u_1 subspace from A [1] then repeat, but would that be numerically stable? (i.e. will that work with floats?)

The numbers you use to benchmark are arbitrary.

The annual budget is about $6 trillion.

They certainly can eat another $128B or even $500B.

After all, when inflation is higher than interest rates, the real yield is negative.
