I think it's a fair rationalisation, but what you're missing is the perhaps thousands of very poor people who give you a large portion of the little they have.

Of course this looks like almost nothing on a margin sheet, but it's still lives that are destroyed.

You could argue that it's their money, their choice, but gambling itself always sells better to poor people, the hope that their luck could change and they'd be out of poverty.

Some companies (perhaps not yours) target poor people specifically with their marketing and messaging.

Betfred/PaddyPower in the UK for example are almost exclusively located in deprived areas, in fact you can usually tell the economic status of a section of city by how many WilliamHills and PaddyPowers there are.
My bicycle light begs to differ. It’s a standard 18650 cell with a protection PCB slapped on top, and both poles on the same end of the battery.

This is exotic enough that replacements are very hard to find. I can either get the 2 cells needed from the manufacturer at about 70% the cost of a new light, or get a new light. It’s technically repairable/user serviceable, it’s just not practical to do. Apple is playing a similar trick with their 80lbs iPhone repair kit to change the battery yourself: technically user repairable, practically not.
Interesting thought. The reverse is likely to be true as well, that is, a brain growing without any inputs from or outputs to a body, might not develop sentience.
UPDATE2: Well done, HN Crew. It was indeed the original short story version of Blood Music. I found I actually still had it and read it again last night.

For the record, it also appears on Tangents, a collection of short stories by Greg Bear.
Of course there are still limits, the article was talking about the 2003 limit of 64k lines which has now been increased to 1m.

You can’t exceed these limits without being heavily alerted/warned by the application too.

Every spreadsheet application and database has these sort of limits anyway, eg:

* Google Sheets limits total cells, although can only handle a tiny fraction of what excel can.

* Postgres limits columns to 1600 (much less than excel)

* Mongo limits document size

I just started using echo for a personal project - just a boring old server rendered webapp. Overall, it has some niceties which can save a lot of time. The documentation and cookbook cover the most common usage patterns. I like that it doesn't enforce too many conventions unlike Rails/Django.

P.S: Logging is still a bit of mess in the Go ecosystem!
People keep mentioning this, and it's just not true - or people misunderstand what the law actually is.

The EU directive on this says that all products sold here should be free of manufacturing defects within the first 24 months(it's 6 years for most products actually). But the key word here is manufacturing defect. Furthermore, the law clearly states that any fault found within the first 6 months is presumed to have been a manufacturing defect, anything found afterwards it's up to the consumer to prove that it was a manufacturing defect and not a fault that developed later.

As you can see, that's not the same as unconditional 24-month warranty - if your laptop dies 23 months in, good luck proving that it died because of a manufacting defect without hiring an expert to do so. Yes some places will repair it anyway to avoid the hassle, but it's not codified in the law.

On the bright side, EU(and UK) make the seller responsible for the products sold, so if your item breaks and the seller goes "oh well you need to go to the manufacturer to get it fixed" you can politely decline and demand that they repair/replace/refund it for you - that's the law.
It's a marketing shenanigan.
Why's it alright that they do it at all, eh? Why does the previous poster need to come with a binder full of links?
I'm sure the heavy lifting is by people who run/own/work at independent appliance repair shops. Those still exist.

It costs a (or several) higher paid worker, better tools, patience and more inspection time. Often these Chabuduo workers are young people with a "Dagong" mindset, little education and got scammed into construction business and quit very soon.

LO Calc has python scripting. I think you mean power user, I can accept that LO calc is not up to speed for powerusers of Excel.

I'm a heavy user of LO calc, but my usage is of course different from yours. For true data wrangling I use R so this statement. I can't imagine the data wrangling and transformations that I perform in R being done in Excel. Its a nightmare waiting to happen!
Oh but you can. I've scanned the LAION training data set (which was used for mini DALLE, Imagen, and Disco Diffusion) and I recognized several images that long to business partners of mine.

It seems to be towns' people who occasionally visit the country side that are overwhelmingly get struck down with this which sounds to me like there's an element of hysteria about the whole thing, not least because of the number of cases where testing has proven inconclusive.

Maybe this is specific to natural resources but as someone who grew up in area that was economically based on a vilified industry AND started my career in said industry, the VI is regionally normalized when all of your friends, family, and neighbors also work in that industry. The people doing the vilifying are generally outsiders and thus dismissed.

> ...ends up dictating a lot of interactions with indians from India. Most American born ones don't seem to care.

As a counter anecdote, I know several tens of families of both India-born and American-born Indians, and caste has never been brought up or mentioned in the US. It's...just not something you talk about, a bit like race usually doesn't come up in conversations, unless you're talking about it in the context of an article like this one.

I have certainly heard die-hard vegetarian Indians, for example, not want to eat in a restaurant which cooks both meat and vegetarian dishes, but that's more of a "I don't want food that has been in contact with animal flesh/fat" thing that is perhaps a bit hard, but not impossible to understand.

> I cannot possibly retire my old one just because it's old.

Why not sell it second hand? Someone (even a student like you once were?) will happily extract a decade or more of value from it and you’ll get some of your money back towards the upgrade.
And also, if anyone actually reads the page linked - just below his post you can see a reply from an appliance repair shop, stating that they repair about 1500 refrigerators a year, and they see maybe one compressor failure a year - further stating that modern compressors, even with their shitty design, are still the most reliable part that will outlast the rest of the applience by a mile.

And yeah, I agree with them actually - there's no way 1950s compressors had such low failure rates.

I do recall seeing an american ad for some oven brand from the 50s, where the leaflet advertised that an average consumer shouldn't expect to repair it more than 2-3 times in a 5 year period - and that was advertised as a selling point!
I can't think of any type of job that is both vilified AND one that you could take on the cusp of destitution.

And at least for me personally, setting the example to my kids of integrity being one of the most important characteristics you can develop, is a top priority. Taking a position in an evil industry doesn't top that.
Not everyone is working in tech.
I worked in defense for a while and have zero problem with it. Someone else might vilify it, but it just seems naive to imagine that eliminating all of it is even remotely possible.

I have a much bigger problem with my skills being used in the past to work on advertising tech.

I've used Echo on a few occasions and it is nice little Go web framework.. or more a library.. it doesn't bringt much extra fuzz.

The reason why I chose Echo among all of the Go web "frameworks" was that it didn't use FastHTTP, which is used by many (most?). I however ran into a (simple) pattern of endpoints a long time ago that you could not be matched by FastHTTP and realized the speed improvements may not be worth it. There was also no http2 support back then. Too many people just look at micro-benchmarks for these frameworks.
The article states that there is a big problem, but the solution it gives only incrementally improves the situation.

If passwords stored in plaintext is a problem, don’t just use slightly harder to access storage. Use SSO so there are not credentials to steal.

If the article gave a complete picture of what to do to mitigate the damage of endpoint compromise or was less alarmist in its assessment of risk, I would have liked it better.
Yeah, it certainly exists, and always did. In greater numbers than people know due to classified defense programs and their budgets.

The real problem is we spend TOO much money on defense compared to other needs. Do we really need so many aircraft carriers? Is that really what is required these days? Or submarines? Or even just soldiers. Defense is expensive.

With drones becoming the main way of warfare, I wonder if aircraft carriers are on their way out, the same way that WW2 was the last gasp for the battleship. Drones are cheaper, smaller, less vulnerable, less risk, less human loss of life, etc.

Fun fact, did you know the Gatling gun was invented to reduce the amount of people killed in war? Oops.

Not specifically related to the jailbreak, but John Deere bricked tractors Russia stole from Ukraine. If their code is as shoddy as this jailbreak suggest, whose to say they can't be hacked to kill switch ag equipment during harvest season.
Hacking on a car is making the CEL turn off by tricking the computer into thinking the senors are correct with a resister you have wired inline in order to keep you $1k beater from `02 on the road. Reverting your car to a state where u can maintain it by keeping up its mechanical worthiness out of sync with the useless sensor after sensor that dies whos sole purpose it to allow idiots to drive cars and not burn them down.

Modern cars are literly just hyper-optimised consumer goods. Hyper optimised for warrenty periods and unskillly supply chains with no quality control or pride. modern cars are literly like going to a LAN party with a different personing bringing boxes that need to interact without failure. not happening. hackable to the hilt because pentesting cant be warrentied out.
We get a LOT more years per dollar now than we did in the past, simply because things are costing a fraction now. We can buy those ten compressors and still come out ahead.

The thing is though, we don't WANT to do that. If we knew we could get better quality by paying more, I think many would. But I don't trust that, so I just accept that my new fridge will last not very long, and I get the one that's recommened.

And the problem with this is of course that you can't win by making a fridge and claiming it lasts longer because it would be decades before anyone trusts you. A brand that bet on being the long life fridge brand selling expensive fridges would have a hard time building that reputation.

Just a suggestion, maybe create a new repo that is not a fork from a template. Just copy the files in, and then create a simple README that explains what it is and how to run it.
Not the Nikkei but the Nikkei total return has, the index plus the re-investment of dividends into the index. That's how retirement index funds function. They reinvest dividends plus add new money.

I just finished 'Hackers & Painters' by PG, it's a really nice holiday read. The tone is light, but he gets you thinking about the world.

In English science exclusively refers to science as Wikipedia defined it.

Formal science is a rarely used term. In fact much of the (English) academic world doesn't consider logic, math, or computer science to be actual sciences. The term is basically unheard of. You may find some people who use the term but most people don't know about it.

The reason is simple, the nature of what science is, is not discussed by scientists. It is more discussed by philosophers or French people.

If you weren't suffering from a language issue, I would indeed be 100% correct that you don't know what you're talking about; but given your language impairment and your claim that French academics in common parlance demarcate a difference in sciences between formal and applied it makes sense that you can make this mistake.

edit: have a look to the origin of the lambdatalk's evaluator: http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdawalks/?view=levithan , a single JS line using a single regular expression (regexp) to evaluate nested s-expressions from inside out. I just had to add 9 special forms [lambda, def, if, let, quote, macro, style, script, require] to extend it towards a programming language. I did not know that regular expressions were a bad choice to build an evaluator, so I tried them.

But unless a person doing the vilifying actually purges all, say, petroleum products from their lives, they are just as much the participant as someone who works for BP.

Paying the bill shouldn’t be a second thought, understanding how it got to that point afterwards is what’s important.

Kind of agree. I can't say I ever associated "Made in USA" with quality, and especially not with the combination of quality and elegance I associate with other countries. That being said, I would assume most people are biased towards their own country with regards to this, or perhaps the country stamped on long-lasting stuff they grew up with.

You are completely right, I misspoke (mistyped?) in my previous comment. Apologies for the error.

What I referred to as U2F is TOTP as you say, and what I referred to as TOTP is plaintext OTPs. That's an embarrassing mistake.

What I had meant to highlight is that SMS based authentication is more vulnerable than an authenticator app because the SMS exposes data that can be intercepted or collected by a third party. A timed algorithm solution does not expose this risk at read time (only when synchronising - unless I've missed something?), which is why I strongly prefer it.
The "past 550 million years" includes the Permian-Triassic Extinction, or Great Dying, of 251 million years ago. Do they refer to the million-year death zone after this event as a period when "[CO2 was] measured in thousands of parts per million"? Seems like an incomplete analysis.

Wikipedia claims, "[the] trigger for these mass extinctions appears to be a warming of the ocean caused by a rise of carbon dioxide levels to about 1000 parts per million":

Here's the Scientific American article they cited:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/impact-from-the-d...
In a university lab that had sponsors/prospectives and VIPs coming through for demos almost every day, one time, visitors from a major name in tobacco were being scheduled.

An official said something about students not having to meet with these particular visitors if they really objected, and voiced the example that some students may have had a relative die from lung cancer.

I volunteered to demo, with my price being that I then didn't have to meet with visitors from one particular tech company. (Who in the past had stood out, as individuals, as uniquely non-collegial, out of everyone who'd come through.)

So, I met with the visitors from big tobacco company, and they all turned out to be nice and humble, a bit quieter than average.

One bit that stuck was when I started demoing a Web prototype, with an example that included an article about cats (mild dry humor about cats being standoffish, or something like that). There was a slight genuine earnestly plaintive note in the voice of one who interjected, "I like cats...". Which of course was ambiguous, but which made me instantly wonder whether the student before me had given them the cold shoulder, or they otherwise felt defensive or hurt.

I thought the tobacco company people were fine, and I wouldn't read too much into where someone worked. Today, when I hear of someone working at one of the companies that I dislike, I've stopped thinking "what is wrong with that person, to work there", but more hoping that whatever evil might be in the DNA of the company doesn't end up treating that particular employee poorly.

From what I understand, both tick populations and Lyme disease cases are increasing. However, Lyme disease horror stories seem to be from people who had undiagnosed Lyme disease. My partner is currently going through medical school (M4) and believes that we are far better at detecting it today than we used to be (and she is not one to trust the medical system overall.) Of course, this is all anecdotal.
