I really don't believe the return-on-investment for a major bank to support Firefox is negative. Quick Google napkin math says a customer is worth $500/year, and a decent programmer is easily available for $50/hour. You only need to stop one (1) customer from leaving for every day of programming this costs. This thread is at +89 and has 32 comments, so it's probably worth at least a programmer-month.

If you can't make your website Firefox compliant in a month, you have some very deep design issues. Firefox compliance is so trivial that most websites achieve it without even trying, because Firefox follows basically the same standards Chrome does.
OK, well, that's an easy rhetorical maneuver but one that can be met with equally facile ripostes, such as "how do you determine that people weren't just as if not more depressed in the 18th Century when the concept was less familiar?" or "perhaps having the gulf between themselves and the wealthy rubbed in their faces every day is what causes the distress, since there can be little sense of exploitation if one is surrounded only by those in similar straits."
No, it's correct in the US too. Unless you are in the absolute lowest tax bracket, you're paying a larger percentage of your income via various taxes than billionaires are.
As somebody who was diagnosed with ADHD in my youth and who has tried various medications, I've reached the point of suspecting that the disease model is just a poor fit here.

Does my brain work differently than other people? Yes. Would this have been a problem for me in any pre-industrial society? (Which, to be clear, is most of human history?) I don't think so. Is it a problem for me when I have a fair bit of control over the work I do? Not really! I only experience it as a problem when I am expected to function in contexts with industrial-age labor models, where there's a hierarchy that expects me to labor like a robot in line with how my betters have decided how the work should be done.

So I can entirely believe that authority figures over-use ADHD as a diagnosis so that their lives are easy. Reading through the DSM, it seems to me there are quite a number of diagnoses that could be used as Authority Inconvenience Syndrome. And I don't think I've ever seen one where people might need treatment for being too obedient.
That quote is about Brize Norton Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, not Luton.
Nominal wages have been rising, real wages have been falling.

A great victory for labor huh.

To be less cryptic, there's a relentless chorus of people advocating for inflationary policies that achieve the exact opposite of their intended effect.
you would _THINK_ it would be covered by a combo of 9A and 14A (both equal rights, and P&I). This shouldn't be complicated.

But as far as a gay-marriage-amendment, i'm against. I just don't think its up to the gov at all to dictate who can be married. Just honor the damn marriage contracts like you do all other contracts.
I'd rephrase these two observations into more universal terms than personalization and mind-reading.

During a long emotional crisis I sought out existential therapy. The things it taught me can be summarized as: Everyone is having a bad day too and dealing with as much shit as you, and you are not the center of the universe even though you think you're the center of your own narrative. Once you internalize that, it's impossible to be too offended or even worried about slights from other people.

Additionally, we're products of these circumstances and anyone may be any way at any time for reasons you don't have a clue about.

Assume they mean well and prepare for the worst. But ultimately if someone slights you, it doesn't matter if it's because they think you're an asshole. You're you, they're them, and you're wasting your time if you're trying to be liked by people by being something other than yourself.

Thing is, one day those politics may come knocking at your door and there will be no way to avoid.

Today's super polarised identity politics was „mental hazard worth avoiding“ 20 years ago. Maybe the society at large should have paid more attention to it.
Glad to see this. My 2017 MBP has required keyboard-related repairs on 3 occasions, and each time it had to be sent to a national repair center in TX, which takes a week roundtrip.

All of the incidents either occurred under the AppleCare warranty I purchased or under a repeat-repair warranty that follows any Apple repairs. So I didn't end up out-of-pocket on these repairs, but they were quite inconvenient. Other keyboard types are much easier to repair in-store. On the most recent repair, I was told that they wouldn't even try to replace the space bar because there was such a great risk that the key would break, which would require it to be shipped out anyway.

The issue now, as people are upgrading away from these laptops, is that no one wants to buy them. Even a single issue would result in hundreds of dollars of repairs. It's no wonder the trade-in value for my MBP is a measly $200. The market must be flooded with unwanted laptops whose keyboards are ticking time bombs (the fact that M2s are so much better surely doesn't help the resale value either).

I look forward to getting whatever amount is owed under the settlement. It will help make up for the pain of repeated week-long repairs (to say nothing of the discomfort of the keyboard itself!).
I’d agree with your assessment. It was just an opportune time to mention that they may not be familiar with recent research results. But you’re absolutely right, they should know this one.
I completely understand your point and sympathize with employees who are working near minimum wage and don't have much of a choice, but you are way off the mark here.

I'm pretty sure Stripe SWEs are, on average, some of the highest paid employees on the planet. It's entirely their prerogative if they choose to sacrifice their health for it. They have options to leave if they wanted to.
Companies don't want workers anymore. They're trying to automate everyone out of a job as soon as possible and don't make a secret of it. Who wants to work at a place where there is no future for humans?
The mechanism of SSRIs is not well-described as "increase serotonin".
It crosses boundary when it affects others though. i.e. in professional settings and performance related categories.

Being authentic does not translate to being a jerk or straight up sucking at work. But I don't quite worry about the fact that I'm growing bald or wearing a 15 year old tshirt half the time.
OK. And the notion that psychiatry has been used to simply stamp anyone agitating for political change as insane is also attested (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protest_Psychosis for instance). So what's your objection to this line of inquiry?
Like I said above, there is no such thing as too many water rights.

Water rights come with priority. When there aren't enough units, they describe who gets what is available and who goes without.

It's not oversold, some rights just have very low priority and value. It is like paying to be 100th on your airplane wait list.

I have never heard of a water right tied to a person, and not a location and source. They aren't transferable like that. You may be thinking of water contracts, which are different. Essentially a contractual agreement between a private party and a water supply organization like the California state water project
Plus you have a flood of unskilled/uneducated migrants from abroad, that are aware that they can get it if they cross the border and get residency or birth a child after. This continues until the whole system "suddenly" collapses.
Or just buy the 13 inch M2 MacBook Pro or previous M1 version.

At least then you won't void your warranty.
Yeah, people don't want to work when they make crap wages, don't get any real time off (maybe not even paid).. don't get paid if they are sick, can't enjoy having a kid because they can't even afford it.. and worry about breaking the bank for every little medical thing. worry about having to stick at a shitty job because "it has benefits"

Healthcare for all that has 0 to do with employers and is near "free".. guaranteed time off, sick leave, maternity leave, and real assistance on early childcare (as in nearly free nurserys etc) would fix like 90% of the US's problems when we talk about things like "people don't want to work".

But this will never happen so where we are.
> Because copyright claims are exclusively under federal jurisdiction, rather then being a state-by-state matter, they are unfortunately out of the purview of small claims courts in the US, which are designed to hear state law claims only

IIUC, the idea was to sue in small claims court not on DMCA grounds, but on whatever state laws might relate to tortious interference, slander of title, defamation, etc.
I love reading medical advice on HN.

Genetic errors which cause high LDL levels result in significant cardiovascular disease. It's a very strong cause and effect.

I won't argue that inflammation doesn't play some role (it seems to play a role in many diseases), but I wouldn't dismiss current medical opinion on LDL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_hypercholesterolemia

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease.

Meanwhile, Okinawa has consistently had some of the nation's lowest COVID vaccination rates and worst per-population infection numbers since the start of the pandemic.
I see people downvoting this and I think that's a mistake. There's a fair bit of stigma for all sorts of mental health treatment, and I think that's a reasonable thing to be angry about. It's possible that some people are over-treated and also that some people are under-treated. People who have suffered from either end of that are allowed to be angry about their suffering.
CBT, not CBD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, although full Snoop Dogg works too
Awesome to see the recent adoption of Pi modules in game consoles. I can’t wait to see where this goes
It’s ok, but you also need to understand that everyone else is doing the same thing. You shouldn’t be surprised when someone else does the same thing you are doing, and if you expect other people to treat you better than others, you are in for disappointment.
All Cal Newport's advice is pretty mundane and, frankly, feels almost exploitative these days. "Let's give those distracted folks some old-as-sin observation, but packaged as new", it looks like he is saying.

Deep Work = find a place with no distraction and work for a few hours with real focus.

Einstein Principle = focus on a few things.

Is there anyone in the world who thinks that in order to achieve excellent results (unprecedented, surprising, miraculous) from research and similar intellectual endeavors, it is better to divide attention and focus among many "projects"? I don't think so.

In other professions, better results would be accomplished by diffusing attention (think of the Director or VP level in large tech companies, which are the companies I know the most about).
Any tools you recommend here? Or just roll your own with triggers in the database?
"It is really hard to lose stuff"

Indeed. This also means that garbage keeps piling up in git repos.

This is how I make sure, I do lose stuff eventually:

I don't know what you're trying to argue here, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the claim at the root of the thread, and I apologize but I'm not interested in the tangent.
It's not that hyperbolic. I used to go up the 120 (i.e. Stanislaus) to go camping, then went on a long pause. When I returned after the previous multiyear drought, before the pandemic (so, around 2019), everywhere I drove half the trees were gone. To be clear, these weren't the touristy areas around Yosemite.

I almost couldn't recognize it. It's been bad since. During the pandemic was when we had those reddish end-of-days skies because of all the wildfires. I'm scared to go back and see what there is now.
> It also doesn’t look like the metal piece on top of the CPU is seriously connected to the chassis

It's not supposed to be connected.

You are describing the hack that some people do where they add a thermal bridge between the two. Yes you get better performance but at the cost of serious injuries due to the significantly increased heat being directed to your lap.
This is usually a dogwhistle for more immigration, I've seen it happen first hand in my country. Once wages started to reach a liveable standard most employers wouldnt hire anymore, especially in the blue collar sectors. Then they imported cheap temporary labour and exploited those people for pennies and then sent them back broken to their country.
One of them is, yes. There are several, and basically all of them are some variant of "how resistant to giving into despair are you? (as a rat)". Forced swim, tail suspension, light/dark exploration activity. Kinda dark, but this research saves lives, and depression is notoriously hard to study objectively.
I found Peter Zeihans argument convincing that the largest generation ever, the baby boomers, are starting retiring now. From a purely demographics standpoint this leads to an increasing labor shortage of some 400k per year in 2022 to almost 1m in 2032 or so. Price for labor will go up, and people can be picky not taking every bullshit job they are offered.
I've been using Apple products for 20 years and Butterfly MBP - for me - has been the worst MacBook experience ever. You know, that feeling that your tool of trade can fail on you at any moment. Extremely low trust levels.
Plenty of people are very unhealthy despite ample access to fluids. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to be healthy if you don't have enough water.
I feel like you’re overly dismissive of the other things I mentioned. Database failover comes with inconveniences, but it does allow you to use a single key and get great performance. For massive databases, it might be impossible to do that way, but most companies don’t have massive databases. I also opened a question about how ”erased” deleted data needs to be to be compliant, since I would imagine a lot of companies consider deletion on an encrypted drive to be good enough, even if the data may theoretically be recoverable under extreme circumstances until that hard drive is completely overwritten multiple times or destroyed.

Per user keys are also very useful for use cases like a personal file storage service, even if traditional RDBMS don’t work well with them. Techniques are situationally dependent.

I was not being dismissive of the existence of technical challenges, but rather dismissive of comments like:

> To be honest, in the age of modern overprovisioned storage drives that remap blocks frequently, I'm not really sure you can implement genuine "hard" deletes without choosing significantly unorthodox hardware (or destroying a drive every time you need a single bit erased), no matter how much you want to in software.

Which seem to completely deride the possibility of compliance.

Compliance is feasible, even if it has challenges.
That's near the top 20

> If we did some sort of perceptual hashing to each video, would it not be logical to assume we'd all be flagged?

Flagged for what, exactly? The perceptual hash would show that all three of you uploaded the same video, but not that any those uploads were infringing. Nothing should happen unless someone (either one of you, or another party) tries to claim that they're the copyright holder for that video. Which ought to require at least some hard evidence.

Ideally[0], if that were to happen, YouTube would manually investigate the claim to determine whether it was reasonable, and the parties accused of infringement would have a chance to challenge the claim or offer another reason why the uploads are not infringing, such as prior permission or fair use, before anything permanent was done. Since the video is in the public domain, the claim should be rejected and the video marked as public domain in the content database after the investigation to preempt any further false claims.

Of course investigations like this require actual work. It's always going to be easier to just take down the video—especially since they're hosting it for free. Ad revenues won't cover the cost of investigating claims, much less protracted legal fights.

[0] Ideally ideally, copyright would simply be repealed and we'd all be much better off. But short of that…
I didn't say "dismantle the freight companies", I said "prioritize humans arriving on time over corn syrup"
To stick to SSRI's I know one person who reacted badly to a change of meds, predicated on her personal dislike of the effects of the prior, but finding the replacement had extremely strong negative effect. I think had she been absent any support, this could have ended tragically, the effect was so strong and so sudden.

This, coupled with the emerging reports of longterm sexual dysfunction in young women, I think represent pretty severe concerns. Obviously anecdata is not science, but this is what informs my own sense of place here. I am not anti drug in the wider sense. I think drugs of all kinds have been and are and will be beneficial. I am concerned with how SSRIs are being used in practice, with what longterm consequences, and short-term risks.

There's a strong vibe of "butt out, stick to your knowledge" in responses to my posting here. I will take that advice. I'm off-piste, this isn't my area of work.
>> People seem to be increasingly concrete

yeah. I'm lucky enough to have several circles of cafe/bar friends who also enjoy open conversations. Even if we all frequently disagree, that's part of the fun. I've run into so many of this new younger generation who seem incapable of abstractly considering a topic without dragging their emotional baggage into it. I guess it's a result of helicopter parenting and social media reinforcement of the notion that speech you don't like is a form of violence. For better or worse, I just hold my ground and ease them into the idea that we can disagree and still not be enemies. Just the same as I used to do with right wing lunatics for most of my life.
By all means list the 5+ minute long sustained workloads that ordinary people are running on their laptops.

The only use cases for which the MBA is not sustainable are Pro ones e.g. 3D rendering, CFDs etc so it's hard to see how Apple is being unreasonable here.
> in the spirit of Peter Norvig's learn programming in 10 years, and tell people to actually enjoy what it is they're reading.

Not everything should be enjoyed though and that needs to be better known lest people feel they’re doing it wrong when reading skimmable material back to back.
You've already stuck your blow, and bravely sided with the consensus, and I can practically see you building your little case like a tetris game inside your noggin.

What's the point of arguing?
Recently that has been true, but in the long term the trend has gone towards real wages rising.

And we really should be expecting real wages to drop at the moment, that's a sign our economy is doing a good job at reflecting what's going on in the world. I'd be more concerned if they were all going up despite all these issues because it would mean we are at disconnected from reality and that normally comes with a crash after a couple of years

There are a few graphs from the US Fed that show it pretty well. Wages got very static after 2008 and started heading back up once we left the Great recession stagnation era.

Then we have the drop from recent events such as the war with Russia, covid in China causing lockdowns, supply chain issues.

More than likely as things recover it'll start taking up again
I don’t know. Hard to answer.

However, there is a stolen bike store near where I live, everyone knows they sell bikes they’ve stolen, they’ve been busted selling stolen bikes multiple times, and they’re still in business today.

Perhaps this has always been true, but it feels as if we’ve completely given up against low level crime.
It is a problem that corrects itself. If people do not want the $12 an hour and can afford not working for those companies, there is no problem. If they need it, they will work for that $12.

You can say the same thing for $250/hour developer jobs. Some might do it for $5 an hour (well or not can be debated), and some wouldn't touch it for $250/hour. Free market. There are many companies out there to choose from. If the person is qualified, they will find it. If they are not, they will need to get qualified to ask for more money.

Serious question but do any of these people have families? If I regularly worked 15 hour days my wife would leave me without a second thought
Cool, yea it looks like the "KLT-40S" reactor can do LEU, so at least that part is a bit cheaper. I still think it's not a great idea, nor would it still be economical except for maybe some very specific applications, but perhaps it's more realistic than I thought.

Maybe you could have a very large ship, larger than could go into a port, and it could perhaps ferry cargo around the world and as it reaches ports it offloads the cargo onto some waiting barges to be tugged into port? I imagine you would need to ship a LOT of goods FAST to make it worthwhile to use nuclear.
Complaints to Government Show Americans’ Descent into Madness over Spam Calls
It depends on the timespan and comparative frame you are thinking about. If we limit ourselves to post-WW2 MAD world, there are much different overall trends in quality of life than starting in the middle ages or from colonial times, where many people did not enjoy the rights or luxuries modern people would, not in small part because they couldn't, technologically speaking. It's easy to compare modern poverty to peasantry and say we have it good now, but it doesn't address modern problems in a meaningful way.

This to me is the real question. I don't see how you could easily create multiple clients if you're practicing what is preached in the article.

You're really tying your server to the browser at that point so things like CLI clients and mobile clients become painful to write (not impossible but ain't nobody got time for parsing HTML when browsers do a perfectly good job of it, not to mention CSS.).

Nothing is being rapid charged. You need 24 hours at 300 MW to charge one of these things. Either you use even more than 300 MW, or you have batteries charged many days in advance. Both are nutty ideas.
That is the definition of an ”ad hominem” argument.
