The problem in my view is tech companies have squeezed their way in to our lives and managed to get the majority to post their private conversations publicly. So posting a mild complaint about your place of work on social media has become today's version of complaining to a friend in person or on the phone.

Yes I do think employers do have reason to want to protect their image online, but I also don't like the situation where people are always under public watch. So either you should be allowed to say these things on social media without losing your job, or social media companies should be cracked down on for what they have done.
As a bonus, it's much slower, which leads to fewer fuckups at the ends of projects. They are really only good up to about 1/4" holes though. If you get one with multiple speeds, you can go to 3/8", but you're really much better off with a brace and some auger bits at that point. Auger bits are conveniently sized by the 1/16" down to 1/4" in the US, and have been for over a century.

In all seriousness though, an eggbeater drill will last forever. Mine are probably 70 years old or older. Ditto my brace. Good luck finding batteries for any electric cordless drill in 20 years, never mind a cheap one.

That graph shoes a long-term decline. The pandemic has just accelerated things toward their natural conclusion.
Years ago I visited a customer at his house; the place was a complete mess (I am not a tidy person, and it was a mess even by my standards). He asked if I wanted some coffee. "Sure". He ended up serving it in a soup bowl, as "it's the only thing that's clean". I felt it was a fairly liberal interpretation of "clean". I ended up chucking it in the flower pot (very cliché). I think that's the only "cup" I didn't end up drinking.

Nice guy other than that though; spent quite some time chatting about various things.

But the purchaser exchanged money for property. The transaction did not alter their wealth.

I understand that we typically think of owning property as a means of increasing wealth, more so than renting. But this is only true because we let home values increase.

And it might not even be true now, if renters places their savings other investments.
> I have read a lot of what he wrote, and I am still unsure what he exactly meant by socialism.

Depends what you mean by “exactly”. Having a precise vision of everything Orwell puts under the “socialism” umbrella, is of course impossible, but at the same time, there are things that are clear: when he says socialism he definitely means means no capitalism, that is no bourgeoisie sitting atop the society by the virtue of being the owning class.
I don't think you understood my comment. It's not about how evil you or I think Putin is. It's about drawing false equivalencies.

Let's say for the sake of argument that Euromaidan was 100% manufactured by Obama. (I strongly disagree, but I'll give you that one for now.) A couple of hundred people died in the protests and riots. So far, by the Kremlin's own account, 100x to 200x that number have died in the 2022 invasion. Millions have been displaced. Entire towns and villages have been reduced to rubble. People are dying in Sri Lanka from famines because of the lack of Ukranian grain. How are you going to look anyone straight in the face and them that these evils are comparable?

This is what I mean when I say that every anti-Western narrative I've seen on this war uses different yardsticks for Russia and the West. Putin murdered 100 people? Well Obama killed 1 so it's really not that different is it? It's like asking a judge to give a thief who pocketed a candybar and a thief who robbed into a bank at gunpoint equal sentences because "both of them are thieves." I'd prefer not to have a thief as a roommate, but if my choices were a candybar thief or a bank robber, I know who I'd choose. You don't need a PhD in philosophy to understand this concept.

I'm am not sure if you are to arguing in bad faith or if you are sincere, but the drawing of false equivalencies is a favorite tool of those who argue in bad faith.
Handle errors you should.

Don’t handle errors that aren’t relevant to your specific code.
I guess I'm confused what alternative you want, to display long numbers? Even more so than a sheet of paper, an excel doc has tiny windows to display a huge potential range of values, and something like 0.00000567 simply might not fit.

Seems like if it bugs you, just ctrl+a then set the number format, same way you might set the font and size at the start of a word doc.
The likely alternative is the people making the decisions knew it would harm or even kill some people, and still went ahead with it. And just set up a circle of deniability, and legal immunity in the event of any future litigation. This includes pfizer.

"The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. The series usually begins with a scenario in which a runaway tram or trolley is on course to collide with and kill a number of people (traditionally five) down the track, but a driver or bystander can intervene and divert the vehicle to kill just one person on a different track."

There are a lot of people on this thread complaining about the privacy implications of Facebook and how Mark Zuckerberg is evil. While I don't disagree with those sentiments, it's not really why I avoid Facebook. I still use a lot of things that have similar problems like Google or Reddit.

One of the most sinister things about Facebook to me is that it creates the illusion that you are close with friends or relatives when you're really mostly watching a superficial view of peoples' lives in a passive, voyeuristic way. Comments and likes make you feel connected, but they are not meaningful interaction.

When I first deleted my account and stopped using Facebook, I felt initially a lot lonelier. But was I? After more time went by, I became convinced it was all too superficial.

Interestingly, who I spent time with shifted toward other people who were either not on Facebook at all or were very unengaged with it personally (for example, one friend only uses it to promote his business).

My only partial regret with any of this is that the pandemic really scrambled this. Almost all of my friends were purely people I saw in person, with no online component to our friendship. That all got paused in 2020, and has been very hard to get back to the same level since.

That there are even so many subscription models, and that a single person/family could spend THOUSANDS of dollars, annually, on "apps" ... just blows my mind.

Definitely, I'm "an old fogie" : I still use a pager for incoming contact; I still mainly use Mac OS 10.6/10.8; I have an iPod, which is outdated but task-specific (and I enjoy its simplicity); my kid-sister installed Pandora on the iPod, which I ENJOY (and pay for)... BUT Apple no longer offers updates for the iPod, and Pandora does not allow updating without installing an unsupported iOS.

The "licensing model" most major platforms are pursuing is alarming; when my Mac Pro 5,1 goes out, I'm not sure what I'll do without my long-ago pirated edition of CreativeSuite4.

Reading about all the menstruation cycle tracking apps, and the criminal/civil vulnerabilities some women may/will face in some jurisdictions... is just alarming. Already, the data mined from these apps can be pretty "choice" for advertisers (e.g. hormonal cravings &c).
There’s an argument for forcing this decision if it affects others.

The prevailing theory, at least at the time, was that widespread vaccination would reduce spread and protect everyone including the unvaccinated.

In that case, it could make sense to force people to delay if it means everyone ends up better off overall.
Ask HN: how to reach out about broken 'we're hiring' post
Hello hn,
What's the best way to let a yc company kmow that their we're hiring link is no good?

But the page doesn't have any hiring info and the linkedin link on their site is broken.
This kind of skepticism goes both ways: you could get COVID next week and discover that you have a latent comorbidity that otherwise would never have affected you.

From a public health perspective, universal (or near-universal) vaccination is an unequivocal good. Given the sum of what we know about both COVID and any side effects of vaccination, this remains the case.

I think there’s something to be said about being uncompromising and unwilling to accommodate others. It shows some amount of conviction which is admirable but conversely I think, accommodating others shows empathy and care for them.

I think the argument that this filters out those who do not care could also illustrate that they them self also do not care (not that loosing friends to mutual apathy is a terrible thing ultimately).

I think the warning on the packet should've said that?
I don’t really like electrical appliances. I use a manual whisk (Google translate turns hjulpisker into auxiliary whisk) for everything “whisky” even though we have a vitamix thing that cost more than my MacBook Air.

So I’m an idiot like that, and you might expect me to use a manual drill (I guess it would be auxiliary drill if Google translate is right), and until I bought a house you would have been right. Now I own both an electrical drill and a drill hammer. So while my whipped cream still takes a few minutes more than an electro mixer you won’t ever find me drilling a hole without a power tool. It’s just not worth it.

Great article though, it’s nice to see all the options covered.
I literally just finished a bag of ground coffee(Morrisons own brand!) That's more than one year out of the "best before" date. And you know what? It tasted absolutely fine. I enjoyed it anyway.

I think I'm in the same boat as the author - I went through every fancy brewing method under the sun, sung praises to £50/kg coffee, and now I'd happily buy Lidl's own beans over whatever fancy nonsense the local roasters are selling .
Vending machine coffee has always been terrible in my experience. Although there is (or at least was for a time) some Starbucks developed machine that made a perfectly fine cup of coffee but IIRC it was obscenely expensive and meant more for workplaces or small stores.
I wasn't alive during the 80s but I have a hard time reconciling your view that Hollywood vigilante justice movies were the purview of the right-wing when the moral majoritarians that made up the Republican party of the 80s and 90s would lambast those same over-the-top action movies for "excessive" violence, general disrespect towards society, and "poisoning" the minds of the children. Most of the movies you're talking about came at a time when the MPAA and the FCC began loosening its grip on the content shown on the big and small screens and when the Comics Code was no longer enforced.
Uh correlation and causation? Perhaps you've simply noticed that are good at socializing in general need feel less the need for alcohol to help them socialize because, well, they're already good at it
Quantum mechanics to fluid simulation – the story of everything
The interesting thing about this is that early Mac OS X was the opposite, with each release being faster than the previous. The very first consumer release of Mac OS X (10.0, Cheetah, 2001) was said to be rather sluggish. Addressing this, Puma was an improvement over Cheetah, which was then replaced with the even faster Jaguar, which was replaced with the even faster Panther, which was finally replaced with the even faster Tiger. There were some slowdowns when Leopard was introduced (which is why I have Tiger installed on my PowerPC Macs), but this was fixed when Snow Leopard was introduced, which had no new consumer-facing features but had many optimizations and infrastructural improvements.
As someone who really enjoys coffee, this is wild seeming to me. Have you sought out "different" coffees, or just don't naturally encounter them? For example, have you ever had any light roasted coffee? Or naturally processed? My first time having either of those I was shocked how unlike anything associated with coffee they were. Admittedly I didn't like either on the first try, but they were definitely VERY different from standard dark roast offerings.
You are so right about how the seriousness was always there and revealed itself at the end. I too was fairly young when I first watched it, and I think it really framed my propensity for adding humour to otherwise serious situations as a coping mechanism.
Not so sure about that phone. Most people are getting them on credit/contract, so you'll just see contract terms extended and/or made less generous to compensate for higher interest rates and inflation. People will still replace their phones whenever they can because it makes them feel good.
Or you could download a system-level adblocker and swerve the whole cryptocurrency/BAT thing altogether. There's a lot better solutions for fighting ads than downloading $SOME_GUY's Chromium fork/pet ponzi scheme.
I've seen that comment too. It's unclear to me why you can't just have 1:1 relationships with these relatives by calling them on the phone or visiting in person regularly. You seem locked into the concept of only being able to interact with them using this specific group chat type format.

I find this hard to believe. It’s beneficial for everyone including manufacturers for their products to be proven safe.

If we assume manufacturers are intentionally malicious, what prevents them from outright submitting a dummy saline shot for testing instead of the real thing, guaranteeing absolutely zero side-effects?
No it’s not ok. You really should throw all those preconception out of the window, it helps you for nothing except missing interesting things in your life

Find a good coffee shop and try some different pour over brews. Ask if they have some natural (or dry) process beans and I bet you'll get a cup of coffee like you haven't really tasted before. Natural process beans are super fruity and almost taste like a tea. Also ask if they have some good robusta beans and try that too, again it might be familiar but much different than what you've had before (robusta is what Folgers and cheap coffee typically use, but it can be quite good when done well).

But yeah I do agree if you're getting arabica beans from standard places that may or may not care about how they're roasted, keeping them fresh, etc. it all does start to blend together in taste.

Ooh! I just read Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia". In it, he describes how he and his wife almost got into serious trouble for having a copy with them in Barcelona. Orwell had joined a loyalist political faction as a volunteer to help fight Franco's fascists, which were backed by Germany. However, communists took over the Catalan government, using Orwell's party as a scapegoat to gain power. They started rounding them all up as traitors. Thousands were put in jail or summarily executed.

The police came to search Orwell's wife's hotel room in the middle of the night and found a copy of Mein Kampf, which given the circumstances, was incredibly incriminating. But apparently they found other political books and luckily for her, decided it wasn't incriminating. I have no idea how.

I thought the book was enlightening and Orwell really is an amazing writer. I lived in Spain for a few years and visited most of the areas he went to, which made the whole book even more vivid. Orwell was sooooo lucky to escape the country. Just a week after he and his wife left, formal charges were brought against them as traitors in Spain.

By the way, I have no idea how I went this long without knowing it (maybe I forgot) but George Orwell is a pen name. I was reading the Wikipedia page about his wife and I was like, "Who the hell is Eric Blair?"
This, ironically, reads like something a true hipster would say.
That's like saying 'stop being poor.' I'm not personally invested in FB, but people with large extended families, businesses, political campaigns etc. don't have the option of just ignoring it.

Every HN thread about social media has one sub-thread like this, and it never produces anything of value because the premise is trite.
>Eh, war is simply fun. It’s appealing to males in particular, and our testosterone tends to lock in the intoxication. There’s a reason that Battlefield is one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time

This seems like it's essentializing psychology into core biological elements (with a shaky, uncited relationship to evolutionary psychology) without question. When statements are made this way, don't you think it closes off possible avenues for research beyond the bare facts of war and competition in future societies, at least without genetic modification? I think questions like these should be left open rather than dismissed as "war is fun, testosterone".
They might have strongly disliked something specific about the flavor of the coffee (e.g., too bitter or sour, to the point of being justifiably called terrible), but they didn't hate it overall and would still drink it given that same opportunity. That's how it usually is.

I feel pretty much the same way about coffee.

This is what I use. But, I would encourage you to do some quick searching on Amazon. There are some much cheaper options that may do all you need. Technically the treadly treadmill is for working out / running. It's HUGE attractive feature for me was that I could store it under my bed when company comes over and I need the office to look tidy.

Also worth mentioning that I have the treadly model 1 (they're on v2.0) and I've had to send it in twice for repair. It's now out of warranty, and if it fails again I will be screwed. Hence why I've done a quick Amazon search myself and seen that indeed there are some interesting options since my purchase a few years ago.
I feel like I’m not a big subscriber to stuff, but I have, off the top of my head:

- YouTube $10/mo and super worth it

- Netflix $15/mo and lately meh

- AppleTV $10/mo and meaning to cancel again

- AMC $10/mo ditto

- Apple Music $10/mo and want to cancel but need to figure out migration

- Adobe $10/mo for PS+LR and pretty happy with it

- DropBox $10/mo and I guess, whatever

- 1Password I forget how much…

- Old-School web hosting about $10/mo

- GitHub $5/mo, tribal membership fee

- Digital newspapers and magazines, probably around $50/mo or maybe double that?

…plus a few obscure software subs that are sort of “pro” and Amazon Prime which is for fast delivery to rural America a few times a year, plus a bunch of domains, plus Patreon including at least one software person. Plus whatever I’m forgetting.

My goal for media is to have one streaming movie/TV service at any one time, and go back to paying for music one album at a time. But who knows if I’ll get there. My monthly software cost will definitely increase soon.

And despite all this, I think I’m pretty conservative and don’t have too many subs. Someone with a good income who subscribes on a whim, probably spends at least double this much.
