I don't buy collision insurance on my car. Haven't for 40 years, because my car was totaled 40 years ago and the insurance payout was so meager I realized that self-insurance was a far better deal.

Buying insurance on appliances and other devices is a waste of money, too.
So, you would have the government step in and deny the right of an individual to earn what they may need at that moment, in their specific circumstance, to form a contract with another person - a business owner? The bureaucracy knows better, and if the individual can’t find another job at a level to even scrape by then the bureaucracy steps in again, but is this a path to a solid job in 20 years? The higher the wage, especially federally, the more dramatic and onerous the effect.

It feels deeply infantilizing to me, and will absolutely cut off the bottom rung of society and hasten the unprepared and unskilled towards the coming AI cliff in my opinion.

I personally did not have my own shit together enough to earn minimum wage, not quite, at the very start. $15/hr+ starts to become a mountain that the least well-off cannot land a position earning, or cannot stay competitive at that rate, in some parts of the nation.
"No trust required"

I think that's what's intended by "zero trust". It's not that trust is bad, it's that it's not necessary when you architect the system in a certain way.

No. Food trucks are a lower-capital investment, which is the primary driver. They predated all the restaurant and real estate regulations you're commenting on, in the US predating such things as "liability for the meat you sold me making me sick"
1. Both factors matter. Most manufacturing for the American automakers also happens outside of the US. That is outsourcing. People still buy American cars.

2. It does have to do with mobility of capital in that many of these "international" competitors are still reliant on American capital and are owned in no small part by American institutional investors.

> This has nothing to do with "mobility of capital", and unless you shut down trade completely, there's nothing in the world that can protect poorly managed American companies from foreign competition. (Nor should you, while one million UAW workers saw their pay decline, 300 million Americans benefited from a vast improvement in car reliability, affordability and safety.)

You are mixing in a moral argument about which is better but it is sort of irrelevant to the veracity of claims like "manufacturing jobs never paid close to $30/hr" and "high-skilled manufacturing was never outsourced."
The gaps do give some amount of play. The trouble is that once the temperature exceeds the design maximum the gaps close up completely and all that expansion force is directed into hard metal-on-metal contact, at which point something has to give. Jointed rail tracks are not designed to handle those forces without buckling because the whole point of having the joints is so that they don't have to.

If someone enjoys the work they do, it is not work. In fact, it is rewarding and rejuvenating:

"When people wonder about founders, inventors, scientists, the “workaholics” who seemingly dedicate their lives to their work, they rarely ask about the intrinsic motivations behind this behavior. But the adage from Mark Twain, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life,” holds true. Do you want to know why people start companies, create new technologies, build new products? Because they’re having fun doing so. Even after making gazillions of dollars and being able to afford a life of leisure, most “workaholics” choose to continue their work. Why? Because it is intrinsically rewarding and motivating to learn to do something, to discover something. This is happiness. And this is why the United States has been so successful in developing big international brands. Part of the American psyche is to encourage fun. It’s not just drills and homework, drudge work and toil. School includes recess, sports, and clubs. Companies often offer extensions of these. Entertainment in various forms is pervasive in the US, and why “moviewise” even exists at all."

Ask HN: Monitoring Hard-Disk Drives and Arrays Health in Linux in 2022?
What is the best way to automate monitoring and alerting on the health and SMART status for disks and arrays in a Linux machine?

The most complex case I have is a machine housing 15 hard-disk drives along with 1x RAID-0, 1x RAID-1, and 1x RAID-5 arrays.

Curious what a highly-effective / cutting-edge / best-practices end-to-end setup looks like in 2022.

Thank you!
> If a business cannot pay people enough to live, the business should not exist.

I'll assume you are talking about full time all year jobs. Each one of the baseline expenses defined above are not nominally set in stone. They are different for every person. I might define baseline food as beans and rice, while others might define it as steak and lobster. The same goes for the other baseline expenses defined above. This is why allowing individuals to make decisions is so important. If you want to dismiss the idea of any one person deciding for themselves what that baseline is, there would have to be a group(gov't/union) to decide what these baselines are. One problem I have is if you allow some group to decide what this baseline is, you lose your ability to decide as an individual what your baseline is. Additionally, resources that could have been allocated to you are now allocated to dealing with the regulations and or bureaucracy.

Furthermore, some individuals do not need that baseline, whatever it may be. A child supported by parents may have other expenses covered. A retiree who just wants to be employed to stay sane, may not need all the wages and benefits that a parent of three may need. Paying them less does lower the market price of labor though.

> Businesses do not have more of a right to exist than the workers that make them up. Full stop.

I agree. The opposite is true as well. Businesses, aka transactions between people, have just as much a right to exist as the people that do the transacting. Setting aside the statutory protections that LLCs, corporations, etc. provide, a business can be a single person hiring people to do work for them, or a single person who does all the work for themselves(eg. cobbler). The right to interact with others for goods and services is a fundamental right.

> Texas even bans transportation of horse meat through the state.

Horse meat is banned in the whole US in the most American way possible: by the roundabout way of the government not providing horse meat inspectors.

Technically, you can eat meat in some places if you prepare it yourself, but since there are no inspectors there would be no way to sell it.

In the same way, it's not federally illegal to drink before 21, but congress will cut highway funds to any state which allows 20 year olds to drink.

BTW, I read in a book about The Godfather that Coppola remarked how ridiculous it is that people were upset that he used a real horse head and blood in the movie, but not with the fact that it came from a slaughterhouse which would have used it to make dog food.
One memorable site is the Church of Saint Clement (Basilica San Clemente). What makes it remarkable are excavations which have revealed so much more than the 12th century church on ground level. Below it is another church from the 4th century. Below that, Roman buildings from the 1st century. So much history on one small site, descending through various stages human settlement below. Giving a taste of what has been repeated over much of the city for millennia.
I went to Vice's fb page, found the same post that OP linked to and checked the URL. The pfbid part is exactly the same to me. The URL by default has some additional params attached like __cft__ and __tn__, which can be stripped, and those are probably tracking-related. Based on this, I don't think that pfbid is connected to tracking
I actually wish this site would stop making the rounds now, because it's abandoned and will never be updated to be a complete shader tutorial.
Since you have such amount of free time, what about taking advantage of that and make a real contribution and proper feedback to this post.
Yes, but not for video conferencing or long-term work.

It works well-enough for screen mirroring or displaying a video. When displaying a video, I believe the stream is actually redirected to the AppleTV rather than being relayed through the Mac.

Yeah, I was going to comment the same thing. I’ve lived in multiple regions where there is plenty large, owner occupant lots where the structure is a mobile home. The mobile home park/ground rent model is definitely not the only model in use for these structures.
Eating horse meat in the United Kingdom was seemingly quite common in the United Kingdom prior to 2013 but nobody knew about it[0], when common products were found to contain horse meat and the public reaction turned into a huge story / scandal and most people in the UK would have the same ewww reaction.

Yes, except that when marketing is involved the first order of emotional response is that you put the words in the blender and treat them as a "bag of words" independent of order or contextual meaning. That's just how people respond in the first 0.2 s, and since people receive one or two orders of magnitude of marketing communications than they can process that first 0.2s is critical as to if they will see any more of it.
> A bit like goat curry, all you really taste is the spices.

Agree that cheval, flavor-wise, isn't remarkable; it's good, it's a baseline. But goat? If you think all you experience is the seasoning, your sense of taste might be diminished.
Btw.. I don't think the ccp is evil or whatever. Espressif is a Chinese company, based in Shanghai requires a operation business license. They are under ccp jurisdiction. The relationship with the china gov is either cozy (at executive level) or they can't have banking, internet, etc.

I could make the same statement about huawei, alibaba, et al.

However I don't want to be accused of being a liar.

Who/What was the application/client for the aithink (a division of espressif) esp32-cam board

The application is/was ccp military & ccp dystopia-esque long range surveillance tech.

Its not a dev board, it was designed for a specific application.

You can find references to the models in the Chinese (mandarin) version of the docs. The cameras which include night vision & heat can be found on taobao, have esp32-cam inside.

> Just to operate around metro Atlanta today, [gyro truck owner Ali] Moradi has to have seven county permits and 13 city business licenses

He needs a food permit for every county he goes to? He needs a business license to operate in the cities he wants to operate in? Yeah same as everyone else. The difference is that his food truck can move easily, but metro Atlanta is an 8000 square mile area. We're talking about an extended metropolitan area with multiple jurisdictions.

I want the food permit scheme because food safety regulations are critical to me mostly being able to just go somewhere and not worry too much about getting sick from it. The Daily Harvest debacle terrifies me that it'll start happening in places and things that aren't fad influencer driven junk.

As long as the food truck isn't disrupting others, its fine. They should have to pay if they're going to use public space for profit, however. Why should they be able to use the street to set up a for-profit business on, then use the sidewalks as free standing space? If they're renting out some giant parking lot from a local business that's different, but whining about not being able to profit from taking up public land is laughable.

Beyond that, Reason cherry-picked two or three locales besides Atlanta to try to push their point.

I work in a highly regulated industry and I fail to see the benefits of self-hosting identity management in a context of mandatory compliance with GDPR and CCPA.

3rd party vendors relieve companies such as mine from a ton of responsibilities we'd otherwise have to handle and manage associated risks.

Of course, we're the kind of company that think the less code and processes we have to be audited for, for, say, SOC2, the better. Which is pretty much every company, I assume.

Please I'd very much appreciate diverse opinions on that topic.

You really can't see the issue with authorising a group you have little to no control over, speak on your behalf ? I can totally understand that people share some views with what unions are currently defending.

But the requirement on signing a paper that says "whatever the union currently says and will say in the future 100% represents my point of view" is a fair criticism of the union model.

Oh wow, that's very cool. Did he do this as a SEO hack or just as an easy-to-remember shortcut for his book?

His illinois.edu page is the second hit for me for "algorithms wtf" in DuckDuckGo and the first hit in Google. There is a non-zero probability that I would find his book by searching for that.

Edit: Sorry if this came across as disrespectful. I don't think that a SEO hack in this case is bad. If you put your care and attention into writing and revising a 472-page textbook, you want people to find it. There's nothing wrong with that.

I couldn’t find my preferred film in 35mm before a recent trip to Europe, so I brought my hasselblad 500cm with an 80mm lens. I found so many instances where I wished I had this camera, but I reserved myself to shooting 6x6 and cropping to 4x5 ratio.
I probably would fall into the trap of buying this camera for landscapes, taking a few photos with it that were amazing, not using it enough and selling it, then regretting that as well.
All I could find is this paragraph:

> Some countries regularly have extremes in temperature that affect their railway. They may adjust their rails between summer and winter, or have other measures in place to manage the effects over the long term.

I was with Amazon working in tech for over 10 years.

I lost control of my health, my hair turned white, and during that time I lost most of my friends. It’s obviously my own fault for letting all that happen.

Of all the companies in the world, Amazon is probably one of the coldest, soulless places.

Management is riddled with politics and third rate talent who’ll often knowingly do the wrong thing, just to get promoted.

The people who actually drove the innovation, who weren’t necessary easier to work with but at least had some technical vision and production vision have all left.

A significant piece of the company is all just legacy systems and tech debt, supported by Indian H1Bs who hire more H1Bs.

If the government breaks up AWS and the rest of Amazon, most of their domains won’t make business sense anymore. There are too many middle men who are against this though - everyone from companies that help people relocate, to vendors that provide special tax services for the H1B army.

I hope Amazon fully unionizes. Even in tech, it was a grueling, toxic place to work.
Oil pencils and wax pencils are a thing too.
Because they produce glare for neighbors. Also tradition. Mirrors would be even better, but apart from expense and weight, worse for anyone in the path of the glare :-/ [edit: reply comment to this says mirrors wouldn’t actually be better]

But, for example, California is requiring light roofs and other mitigating issues, so there is some progress.

BTW if you do decide to paint your roof (or any other external surface) please use TiO2 paint as the UV from the sun will then cause it to break down pollutants like NOx and greenhouse gases like methane.
I am using both Vim and RubyMine and I strongly recommend RubyMine for anyone starting with Ruby.

Having the possibility to have a Go to definition for almost any method is great and most of the gems have great code comments with a lot of nice examples.

When I teach people to learn Ruby (I do this sometimes) among the first things I do is I explain to them how to open a gem, look at the source code, read it and then try to use it.

I cannot thank enough the maintainers of the most popular gems for doing such a great job in having great ruby code and good in-file documentation.
Beautiful. Thank you very much.
I'm missing the best part - In ruby we have an intuitive and extensive standard library
Good job! Looks great.
It’s been surreal hearing ‘ag advocates’ conduct sermons over how organic ag fails us using the Sri Lanka example.

If anything, this is a teachable moment about the unsustainability of relying upon fossil fuel based ag inputs as imports. SriLanka ran out of forex and did not have a robust diversified self sustaining food industry to feed it’s people.

This doesn’t make a case for fossil fuel based ag inputs and/or a case against organic agriculture. If anything, the reverse is true.

Not to mention, geniuses who claim that the planet is underpopulated and we should breed even more to increase our numbers.

I've done a couple. I'm working on one, right now.

I suspect that people would take issue with the exact implementations I use, but they tend to work fairly well, and have lasting power (I wrote an API for imaging devices in C that was still in use, 25 years later).

I wrote a backend system that is currently in use, worldwide, by thousands of people (I wrote it about twelve years ago), but has been taken over by a new team (I hardly have anything to do with it, anymore). I also wrote a few clients; most of which have been retired. The system I'm working on now, leverages it, and mixes it with another one I wrote (just a couple of years ago).

My way won't win Buzzword Bingo, but it WFM. YMMV.

I'm happy to share, but I've found that not everyone wants to do things the way I do, so I'll do so out of the public eye. I have a few generic things, here[0], that I've written, over the years, talking about some of my techniques.

Mandatory pensions are not government benefits.

Also, your numbers are misleading. The average lifetime payout numbers include Medicare benefits in addition to Social Security. You should also use estimated present-day values instead of lifetime payouts if you want to compare benefits to savings.

Median full-time income in the US in about $55k. A quick estimate for Social Security payments for someone retiring today at the nominal age with that income is $1580/month. That becomes ~$38k/year for a couple, which is ~$750k using the 5% rule. Median household net worth, including primary residence, is ~$250k at retirement age.

My estimate was based on a median income of ~$40k and pensions that pay ~60% of income. That would become almost $1M for a couple using the 5% rule, in addition to ~$200k household net worth at retirement age.

By these very rough estimates, the median recent retiree is worth 9 years' income in the US and 15 years' income in Finland. That supports the idea that there is a shortage of millionaires in the US.
True, what I meant is that asyncio is part of the interpreter so you are very unlikely to have trouble with incompatible versions of asyncio. Twisted and gevent don't use async/await, but there's Trio which does and is saner than asyncio, but thankfully library authors aren't forcing it's usage. It's also possible to write libraries that use async but you bring your own runtime (trio or asyncio) with AnyIO.
