A less nice way to put this is "all you jerks around here who want to live in some nice urban area/suburb need to come to terms with the fact that this will require using police and state violence or the threat thereof to enforce the kind of conformity that requires."

A while back, I noticed more and more marketers were talking about community building. (It feels a little like the content boom around 2014. Everyone is trying to get involved, but lots of folks don't know where to start.)

Even though it's outside my realm of expertise, I know a bunch of great marketers running brilliant communities. My boss suggested that I tried to profile Lattice's HR community, Resources for Humans. Annette Cardwell (senior marketing director) was kind enough to agree.

I learned that building a community is tough. Like, really tough. Although there are a ton of benefits for businesses (loyalty, customer research, sales ops, etc.), you need to go in understanding that successful communities require time, effort, money, and buy-in. That's why I thought this might be useful for entrepreneurs and marketers on HackerNews.

If it's useful or you think I missed something, let me know!

>One of the stated reasons is that Turkey is homophonic with 'turkey' (the thanksgiving meal), which further has a connotation of 'lousy'. This is 100% real, their current leadership is a bit strange

It's not just a coincidence, the bird was named after Turkey because apparently they were first imported to England via the Middle East and so they were called "Turkey cocks". Other European languages call them literally "India cocks", due to a different import route. So it's a bit silly to change the official name of your country because a bird is named after it.

I have a Bose Quitcomfort 35 set that I use for travelling. I can't stand the "pressure" in ear feel for a long time when the noise cancellation in turned on.

Besides, while they are good in cancelling e.g. aircraft engine noise, the active part does nothing to prevent e.g. human voices, and even high end headsets are far inferiour to dirt cheap industrial hearing protection where passive isolation is concerned.

I don't want to have to drown out ofice noise by blasting my ears with noise. I find having to wear any head/ear device a nuisance, and I tried a lot (fwiw cheap on ear Sound Blaster Jam V2's were unexpectedly comfortable and also great sounding to boot).

Although it would not be difficult to locate a reference, I will back up what the post you’re replying to said. Before the concern of nuclear fallout, some thought to use nukes as “mountain movers”. Think about that. How many mountains have humans been able to make? But we have a device that can largely obliterate one.

Bunkers are all about surviving indirect blasts and protecting from radiation exposure. If you have a deep enough underground bunker, you largely protect yourself from a “direct blast,” but if a weapon burrowed anywhere near your bunker and detonated it’s good night. You’d also need nation-scale resources to build a bunker deep enough, and have air, water, vapor barriers, etc.

The question instantly reminded me of "Warum werde ich nicht satt?" [1] by Die toten Hosen. It really sounds like a perfect match to me.

Tellingly, the song also just asks the same question, rather aggressively, without providing an answer. I always thought of this as a way of criticizing the mentality of many better-off people, but I had never thought about how one should approach the question when one really is in this situation.

Well, that's the whole point of the movie!

** Spoiler alert - don't read further but watch the movie instead! **

The whole movie is about the assassination attempt (OK, there is love and beauty and music, but the main plot is that). The main protagonist of the movie doesn't kill the emperor though as he understood what another character meant: that the emperor must not die, as the peace is possible only by uniting various ethnic groups by him.

On the surface, this kind of reasoning seems acceptable. In practice, though, forcing peace in this way just brings suffering and is a weak justification of imperialism. Look at the situation of Uighurs and Tibetans. A federation of states, in an integrated form like the USA or weaker like the EU seems to work much better in terms of benefits to their citizens than authoritarian empires in Chinese or Russian style.

Why not simply build a space station instead with the same concepts? For argument's sake it would be a small O'Neil cylinder with a short shuttle or small space elevator to the moon.

I'd expect research or mining sites to be quite basic and not like this habitat anyway.

edit: I guess, if they build it in one of the moon's craters where the sun never shines, and where pockets of frozen water exist, it would make shielding from the sun a lot easier than a complex orbit.

Yeah and it is incorrect. Disabling that CA is a part of Device Guard requirements since 2016. Obviously Secure Boot enforces its configuration, but it's specified and set as such due to Device Guard.
I don't care how I read my stuff, I just want to read it. Calibre says it supports lots of formats, but somehow I can't find or figure out the magic inputs or config options to have it display something to me so I can read it.

> Because then it's rather obvious that having one less bootloader allowed by default means less potential for vulnerabilities.

Even if this was true, the fact that this defaults to having the MS signature enabled by default (and the other signatures have to enabled manually) should already make any security-oriented person shiver extensively, considering MS's vulnerability record. At least, it is clearly an (anti-)trust issue, which is already grounds to dismiss the entire idea.

Second, the fact that it may reduce the attack surface by an infinitesimal amount, and not even in paper (since the attack surface is still theoretically the same), is really an argument for it? By the same logic, I can always argue for having 40+-character length passwords and other rather dubious practices, which by definition also improve security -- and these ones at least do so on paper. It's just that security people already know that this infinitesimal improvement just does not warrant the other can of worms that such an approach opens, i.e. it is not worth the trade-off.

And third, there are better ways to reduce the attack surface to an even lower level; ways that do not put a single vendor in control of the security of the entire ecosystem. Claiming "this is one way, we should do it!" is textbook politician's fallacy.

I will note that this crap hasn't worked for Apple when arguing why they should remain an steward of the entire Apple software ecosystem , and it shouldn't work for MS, either.
> If your instructions read: "turn off secure boot"

That's the thing, you don't have to disable that. You just have to re-enable that CA if you have a model that has Device Guard enabled by default.

Hurdle that doesn't matter at all. If you have the skillset to install an OS, changing a setting in UEFI is nothing.
> We just used varchar here to prove the point. The same issues will happen with other data types – the problem is simply more apparent with varchar as it is more complicated internally than, say, integer.

That’s not entirely honest. The problem is caused by the varchar (or any other variable-size column).

With fixed-size columns, postgres doesn’t need to look at the row to determine the offset of a value, it can just loop through the pg_attributes (the column definitions) and look at the nulls bitmap in the row header to skip null values. It still needs some computation (to sum the sizes of the previous columns iff they’re non-null) but that’s a lot more performance-friendly than also needing to go hit and the data tuple and decode the varlen metadata of every varlen field.
Took me 17 days last time. A couple days for the claim to go trough the court and 14 days of time for them to pay. After that as they did not during the next bank day the court took control of their bank account and wired me the money. This was for unpaid wages but the same applies to any unpaid bill.

As I said it really only gets slow if the party does not have the money (as in they are bankrupt for real instead of just refusing to pay) and there are multiple parties claiming it. At that point it slows down to figure out how to split the assets.

There really isn’t any way to avoid this outside shutting down the company and moving the money out of the accounts but that will just dig the hole deeper as now they are not only contempt of court (not paying as ordered to when they are capable of) but they are also actively stealing/hiding someone else’s money.

In animals some things are definitely hardwired. I had a pet rabbit and made the mistake of watching a nature documentary about snakes when she was in the room. The mere sound of a rattle snake on TV caused the rabbit to stamp a few times, spray urine, and run away to her hutch (skidding on the floor as the left).

I'm sure humans have similar instincts. For example, the tendency of young kids to avoid plants until they are shown that they are edible - possibly leading to the general preference of artificial foods over anything that might be found in a garden. [1]

I've also noticed that toddlers don't gravitate towards knives the same way they do everything else. I certainly wouldn't rely on this behaviour, but I've noticed it in my own children and others.

It's about as good a phrase as 'correlation does not imply causation'. Obviously it's wrong for any correlation that's the result of causation, but it's true enough to be a frustratingly good criticism despite its dumb simplicity. So it is with mice models which have repeatedly failed to transfer findings to humans. The list of reasons in your link is mainly about how easy they are to work with, and the 'similarities' is glossed over, but obviously there are vastly superior animal models which are dramatically closer to humans to test on than mice. It's just not done nearly as much due to how difficult it is, and arguably how horribly unethical it is to test on non-human apes.

Ignoring that unions can have both good and bad effects will lead to suboptimal outcomes. By understanding and quantifying the pieces, it may be possible to improve benefits without cost or to lessen downsides without cost. It also allows actors (employees, employers, society) to make better decisions if they have accurate information. None of this makes it propaganda.

Propaganda includes ignoring problems by calling them propaganda.

A union is exactly a monopoly on labor, both by definition and legally (certainly in the US, and likely elsewhere). Any monopoly has expected pros and cons.

The purging is a scan with `next()` and a `lookup()` for each item. Since the logic is a simple `<` comparison, could this be done with a single `match_delete` instead? (Unfortunately, ETS match specifications are quite wonky, so without a lot of fiddling myself, I can't suggest exactly what the comparison logic would look like, but I know that you can express certain things like comparisons with it.) That would cut down on the back-and-forth between the elixir process and the ETS process.
...because to get it you need a healthy lifestyle where you're outside a lot, and you're probably older, and most kinds of it are benign.

This simply isn't true. You can get lots of sun exposure simply by sitting in your backyard or balcony. You can get it sitting at sports games. Or lying on the beach. Or being a delivery driver. Folks with limited mobility can still get plenty of sun. Sun exposure doesn't mean you are active at all.

Skin cancer is simply more common in older folks, but lots of younger folks get it. IIRC, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in young folks, especially women.

I'm pretty sure that sunscreen has not been proven to cause autism. I do live pretty far north, and absolutely no one is being warned about such a thing. I cannot imagine Norway allowing sunscreen sales if they honestly thought it caused autism - they'd at least tell pregnant folks to avoid sun for a few months. Also, many people here are fair skinned and not having sunscreen would mean that sunburns would be more severe.

One of them. If it was only about manufacturing, they could just as easily make heated seats standard on all bmws.

I think a big motivator would also be the ability for owners to opt in at a later date. In most cars you only have the chance to offer an upgrade at the time of purchase. Making it a software thing means that I can add it on 6 months after buying the car. Or the second owner can add it on.

I used to play "Goodbye Galaxy" and "Invasion of the Vorticons" as a kid. I knew almost every secret way in "Goodbye Galaxy" back then and still remember many levels and secrets. I remember there was a secret way, where you could get 2 "1UP"s, but in the process you die, because you cannot get out of the secret location. Played many hours of that level to get a highscore "record" and thought of myself as so clever ... Oh and who knows about the trick to get 1 extra "gun" at the beginning of "Goodbye Galaxy", entering the spaceship map? ;)

"Invasion of the Vorticons" was a quite difficult game as a child, because the controls were not as responsive as with "Goodbye Galaxy", but I actually liked some of the monsters more and the energy blast of the weapon more than in "Goodbye Galaxy". Overall however, "Goodbye Galaxy" was the clear winner between the two though.

I played "Keen Dreams" years later, but I really disliked the stone throwing in an arc and enemies waking up after some time again. Level design also felt better in "Goodbye Galaxy". I never finished "Keen Dreams", but I often finished "Goodbye Galaxy".

At the time I knew no English (pre-primary school and early primary school time), so the texts made little sense to me, and I interpreted them in my own ways, trying to find words that look similar in my language.
