I often wonder if it's also due to different communication styles. I remember in high school a friend and I would always chat about movies and tell each other what we thought after seeing one. My friend would always use language like "X movie sucked" or "Y movie was boring".

For some reason whenever he would talk about his opinion of movies, it got me a little bit annoyed, because his statements always came across as objective truth. He didn't say, "I thought X movie sucked" or "I felt that movie Y was boring... for these reasons", he just said what he thought.

My communication style was always, "I feel this..." or "I think this..." or "In my opinion, X was..." Whenever I get into arguments with people nowadays, I often notice it's because I want there to be the option for subjective opinion on things and some people don't like that. They want an objective truth that they can walk away with and say, "Well, after that conversation, we came to the conclusion that Z was awful."

Since noticing my preferences for communications, I'm more okay with people trying to say something is an objective truth. To them, sure, there's one truth but I'm not going to waste my time arguing beyond a certain point. It's not my job to convince someone else two truths may exist simultaneously.

> "You like THAT movie?! That movie is the WORST! I've lost all respect for you!"

I don't know, this is still pretty jerky behavior when you're on the receiving end of it, even if the person speaking is "joking". Even if the entire goal is to have fun, at whose expense? Why can't I just like a bad movie and not have to catch shit for it? I think there's some truth to what you're saying, but I think there's more to it.

In 2022, it's not enough to have an opinion. You must have THE opinion. You must be passionate about it. You must attack others who do not share it. Anything less makes you a Bad Person. This is modern online discourse. I hate it.

I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but only a bit. There is something about online social interaction today that goes far beyond "the playfulness is lost to the medium". I'd argue that the playfulness in many cases no longer exists. And if it does, it's indistinguishable. Hidden among 10 other opinions that are also unnecessarily aggressive, and are not attempting to joke about it.

Because they are not involved in the publishing? They are a platform where the publishers engage in publishing.
It strikes me as weird to go from a long well worded post describing how different personal opinions are legitimate, to seemingly dismissing someone for having an opinion.
Toyota Runs Out of US Tax Credits for EVs, Joining Tesla and GM
Base is important but tricky to get a large proportion of. You can negotiate some increase in base but if you want to go too aggressively getting a lot of it will lower total comp. The fact is companies pay base with cash on hand and pay options by issuing new shares. Issuing new shares doesn’t feel like real money in the same way to a lot of corporations so they are happier to do that. I agree markers are currently on a downward trend but I think RSUs are still a valuable portion of compensation. Even if they end up worth only 70% of their initial value you can get a larger total comp from a mix of RSUs and base than just base.

Options on the other hand are largely vapour in modern markets. Many start-ups are electing to stay private for time periods exceeding fifteen years. They fully expect most employees to not be able to afford the options they get because of the tax implications combined with limited ability to sell. Some services exist to try and alleviate this problem although most do so imperfectly and take a large premium for the risk and uncertain time window for the shares to become publicly tradeable. These days I mostly don’t bother looking at companies that can only offer options because they generally aren’t willing to offer a high enough base to compensate. I’d far prefer $200k base and $200k RSUs to $300k base and $100k of uncertain options. The first offer is far easier to find than the second as very few start-ups are willing to raise base to compensate people for the lack of liquidity in their options.

I don’t know what exactly the OP means by depth of information, but modular synthesis is a lot richer than what you describe.

You may be pulling in signals from bananas (literally), driving them through a dozen modules with three times as many patch cables and using them to drive a video signal and a few stepper motors alongside your audio out.

And you’re doing it with a lot of bespoke little modules made in small batches, sometimes with faults, and almost always capable of things that were neither envisioned or documented by their original designer.

It’s a whole different world than guitar pedals or even a single big commercial synth (which is what your description sounds like).
Even if something is milk, cheese, or beef, do you just... pick it up without looking at what the product is, or where it came from or is sourced from? Read the labels. It is not hard. You exist in a world with other humans who use words across a range of things and it's on you to know what you're buying.

>Why does vegan food have to resemble the things that vegans avoid?

First off: it's not just vegans who buy or are interested in this stuff. People can find it beneficial from a sustainability point of view.

Second, people like the originals! We have rich culinary history with recipes and tastes that people don't necessarily want to give up, but may want a more sustainable/cruelty free/[insert your reason here] alternative.
>But it's pretty easy for us to collectively turn judgey on small specific things

That was the entire point I was trying to make. That, and that doing so is douchebaggery.

As to the ableist bit, it's not (as I explicitly stated) that ableism isn't a nasty thing -- it is -- but that those who engage in the activity discussed in TFA aren't specifically being ableist, they're just being douchebags and are insulting and nasty not because of ableism, but because they're assholes.

Hi! I'm Liam, 16, and looking for a programming related internship/mentorship/job. I'm a snowboard instructor during the winter season, so I have some work experience. I've been programming for 6 years, but have never worked professionally in the field, mostly working on personal projects.
You can find some of them at https://www.liamilan.com/
Open to doing just around anything you need me to do. If you have an opening, or any advice, hit me up :D
That's ignoring the specific use case of TFA though, which is not "I'm setting out to build something for my bigcorp to scale infinitely" but "I built a little tool that ended up handling more than I thought it would, good thing I used an ORM so that I could switch to X based on actual metrics and A/B tests."

I'm as anti-ORM as the next jaded dev but this is a picture-perfect use case for it: use an ORM to rapidly prototype and get the job done and leave a path for an industrial solution. The adage "you never switch your RDBMS" does not apply here.

Just not at all true.
Please remember that not everyone has the same experiences, socially, in school and that for some, homeschooling is the vastly better option in that regard.
They likely had lenses already available for the frames they had in stock, or were frequently making batches of them.

OTOH the frames you already owned may be out of style, so they would have needed to grind a totally custom pair of lenses, just for you.
Then why are insurance company profit margins so low? Why wouldn’t they just jack up premiums irrelevant to their competitors and ignore negotiating pricing and see increasing margins?

Low profit margins/multiple sellers indicates a highly competitive field, which means the businesses must be doing something stay in business.
To be fair, some of this is indeed "crankiness returned" given how much of the vitriol seems almost directly based on Ron's older "If I..." written on a grumpy day post. Though I still wouldn't wish a 100x or 1000x return on grumpiness to anyone, and that seems to be the case here.
Valve has to be worth way more than a billion dollars. A billion is like medium-stage startup at this point. They have to be worth 10x that easy, as a floor. Much higher (100x) for a strategic acquisition from a company like Microsoft.
"Die gesuchte Stellenausschreibung konnte nicht gefunden werden." for all three links.
Wouldn't their incentive be the opposite? To get more total dollars so there is more profit at the capped margin.
I'd be curious to know what the Americans thought about all this. In a parallel universe it's part of the American sphere of influence, like Taiwan. A better universe.
not necessarily at all. A rational company would have offered a sum that to them was minuscule part of advertising budget, but a fortune for a single person.

My understanding was that Nissan hadn't even made an offer before suing him for 10M, at least that is how the story goes. They probably could have just offered him a million, or 10, and everyone is happy. Being they are a "large" corporation and all.
First Details on Paralyzed Robotaxi Fleet in San Francisco
I did not enjoy high school. Others have had it worse, but it was mostly something I had to endure.

A teacher in my senior year said something about how some students have the time of their life in high school, while others turn the page after graduating and never look back. Despite being an obvious thought, it kind of blew my mind at the time. The idea that I could choose to have a completely different life as soon as the school year finished filled me with all sorts of positive thoughts. Unsurprisingly I loved college and the newfound freedom I had to make more decisions about my life.

I guess the takeaway I have is that high school sucks more than it needs to for many students, and reminding kids struggling through it that things can get much better afterwards can be emotionally helpful.
Interesting, I've never considered the value/valuation/profits to be a part of what makes a corporation large or not, but mainly focused on just the size of the organization. So a corporation could go from small -> medium -> large without even changing the headcount?
For things that the spicy undertones wouldn't work well with, consider trying fish sauce. It's even more intense with the umami boosting ability. It's practically liquid MSG. I recommend Red Boat 40°N to people unfamiliar with it as an ingredient, it's basically "first press" and has a clean and pure flavour.

Cheaper fish sauces can be very fishy. Good fish sauce won't make the final dish taste fishy unless you use an extreme amount.
This is addressed on the Buy Offsets page. Quoted because I thought the same thing as you:

We never pay our partners more than the market price of new refrigerant, removing any possibility of a perverse incentive. And because we use well-studied industrial processes, as approved by TEAP at UNEP, there’s no science risk: no carbon is going to bubble back out in 5 years, like you might worry about with soil, forestry, or other nature-based processes.
I get the finely shredded Mexican blends for hard-shell tacos.

It's impractical to get the thin, fine lines of shred off a block of cheese, and even if I do, without the cellulose it will just clump again when I try to stuff as much other stuff as possible on top of it. It's a better product for the dish.
I wouldn't personally put that in the same category, but it does illustrate our comfort with arming & training nazis.
Uh, okay. Then I guess the scheme should motivate my family to keep me alive against my explicit will, even if it makes no medical sense and would only prolong my suffering. And that's supposed to be a good thing?
Something doesn't quite add up in my mind - I must be missing something, please help HN...

So a regular home refrigerator has about 60 grams of R600a in it. It has a global warming potential of 3. That means if you illegally vent it to the atmosphere, you are doing the same environmental harm as venting 180 grams of CO2.

However, if you hire a trained technician to extract the gas for you, and he drives 10 km to get to your house, then his van (a brand new average van getting 158 g/CO2 per km) will emit 1580 grams of CO2.

Considering this, it seems crazy to bother regulating this stuff.

In my experience a good FAL is about as hard to write as a good filesystem.

While you can parameterize a lot of things, there are some fundamental properties of the flash cells which make it very hard to write a single FAL which works well with all flash chips.

As someone who was homeschooled for the majority of my childhood, I fully agree. I was able to somewhat overcome the resulting lack of social development in late high school (which wasn’t at home) and uni, but it wouldn’t be until some time between my mid 20s and early 30s that I felt like a mostly socially functional adult, and I still feel inadequacies in that department even now.

Additionally, I don’t know that I’d ever feel qualified to act as a teacher in as wide of a range of subjects as a child needs education in.

20+ years in the US? No gun related charge or priors with other drugs/guns? That is very unusual if so.
When I travel between states to partake in a service that is allowed in one state but not another that is not interstate commerce. I'm still conducting intrastate commerce within the state where I am located. The federal government doesn't have the authority to regulate all laws federally just because I can travel to a state with different laws.

Regarding bodily autonomy, it becomes a little tricky to make that argument when a mothers' decisions affect a separate body from her own. A body with its own DNA that happens to rely temporarily on her mother. Is the argument that a mother can kill her healthy child as long as it couldn't survive without her?

Right.

Much of the CEO compensation was in Unity stock. Unity had their IPO in 2020, so that was a really good year for the CEO. The stock's high was $196 in 2021. It's down to $37 or so now, near its all time low. So the CEO takes a hit on that. Although he was topped up with a grant of more stock in 2021.
Do you know the limit for the part? If it’s 120C then the M1 is leaving 26C on the table and the M2 left only 12C.

They've made a law recently fully legalizing gray import, i.e. basically denying IP protection to the companies from the "unfriendly countries" - very similar to the USSR times when it was de-facto so.

I dunno. The US propped up a government there for a generation and it still failed to launch. Afghans didn't want it. Sometimes, you just have to accept that the best you have to offer isn't wanted or appreciated.
It is plainly not terrorism for a law enforcement official to send someone a letter asking them not break the law. Even if it is questionable in its legal merit. LE are not lawyers or judges. It is entirely normal for law enforcement to arrest and charge people when they believe a law has been broken, even if they are wrong about it. That's the entire purpose of our court system.

Some in leadership view cost of risk of employees who quit as being cheaper than employees who are fired, or if they're narcissistic enough that "the most loyal" employees will stick it out. It's normally common sense that this kind of strategy is kept very far away from anything that might come up in discovery if there's legal pushback. Zuckerberg saying this to Reuters in an interview requires a depth of innocent cluelessness that suggests he's insulated himself from critical feedback. This statement is going to be referenced by employees who feel the need to pursue recourse for perceived constructive dismissal.

> If your claim is "well just don't use the hardware to it's full spec'd limits", then I don't know what to say other than, that's absurd. I buy equipment expecting it to meet the specs on the tin.

The spec on the tin under what circumstances?
Do you except a computer to not throttle if run in 80˚C weather? Do you except a cheap car to be able to drive at its max speed non-stop (minus fuel up) for days/weeks?

See the discussion elsewhere in the comments about intended usecase. Nowhere on the tin does it say that either of these computers will run at 100% power without any slowdown. Nowhere on the Air does it say that it's designed for 8K rendering.

There isn't anything absurd about designing a laptop to allow for bursts of power, or even heavy sustained load on the cpu OR the gpu but not BOTH.

"Doctors hate this simple trick to reduce <illness>."

That's the strange spam message I could never understand.

Surely doctors would be delighted at any method to improve health?

So I always assumed the "trick" to be quackery with dangerous side
effects. After all, why else would "doctors hate it"?

Eventually I realised these messages are exclusively US American, the
only place on the planet where doctors could plausibly resent people
improving their health at the expense of their profits (or at least
that's the implication that seems to rest on an entrenched cultural
cynicism).

Am I totally wrong?
