I've dabbled in "gray" things but never anything that would get me sent to prison (I lack the risk tolerance), but in case, I turned to that kind of work because playing by the rules (at the time) got me nowhere. At the time, I was reliant on Medicaid to manage my progressive illness (MS) and was limited to earning ~1k a month.

Which obviously wasn't enough to live on, so I started bartering and doing work under the table. The safest kind of under the table work is work where if it's discovered, everybody involved would be 'in trouble'. That way everybody has an incentive to Shut The Fuck Up.

If you put smart people into corners, they're going to find ways outside of the system to prosper.

Edit: Also, if you have the right skills, you can make BANK, especially since you don't pay taxes on illicit income. I at one point made ~$100/hr, and I wasn't doing anything illegal.
As a side bit, this model appears to have difficulty with the prompt "wolf with bling walking down a street" and often generates an image that I am fairly sure is not unique and is not representative of the idea that is trying to be communicated in that text.

Frankly speaking, this is a load of shit. It's an embarrassingly transparent attempt at pushing an anti-renewable agenda onto a situation that has absolutely nothing to do with renewables.
DoxBox does IMO work well on Android but it's clunky to set up - you likely need some variant of a "hacker keyboard" installed to make initial setups easier for games, and then AFAIK you'll probably need to also install another keyboard of choice that supports the buttons your game needs.

All in all it likely is worth it for some games if you're nostalgic enough for them but don't feel like playing them when you're at your PC.

I've had more success playing old PlayStation games, personally (on ePSXe these days but I've used RetroArch in the past, which I should probably look at using again).
This doesn't really make any sense, just because you still need to put in the effort doesn't mean it isn't highly affective at making it much easier for an individual to direct that effort positively.

You're flubbing the scope of the argument. The second definiton of steal in Webster's is to appropriate (e. g. credit) without permission. Identity theft is when someone appropriates someone else's identifying information, without permission, to impersonate them in a transaction or contract. Full stop. There's no qualification that the appropriated thing must be secret or that it was suited to its its purpose. If you think that the term is misapplied to other financial crimes, that's an entirely different argument, and it doesn't render the actual term a misnomer.
in the uk, everyone wants to work on daily rates. 600pd-650pd as a devops engineer.

So, £75, or $86 an hour. This is 5 days a week, 40 hours a week. I bill around £14k a month and after taxes i walk away with about £7k a month.

Is that a different term for "mechanics"?
Interesting, but the DVD vs post-DVD part of it doesn't make sense without more explanation or numbers attached.

In the DVD era most people didn't buy expensive DVDs - they rented them from Blockbuster (then later Netflix) just as they had done before on VHS.

In the post-DVD era there is still plenty of money coming after the theatrical release in the form of money from streaming services. How does this source of revenue compare to that of the DVD era, and, if it's significantly different, then why?

One thing that's different nowadays is how quickly movies go from theatre to streaming, but that's under control of the movie studio - presumably they expect to make more money this way.

Perhaps the real problem is the cost of producing, and marketing, these Hollywood movies in the first place, making it necessary for everything to be a mega-hit to be successful.
I don't think that makes it a bubble. A bubble is when my mom starts talking about it.
Who has access to these psychedelics outside of research? They are not mainstream at all. If I wanted some I couldn't get any.
If China pays less it just means the above situation works out to China's advantage even more than with my toy numbers, and even less to Europe's. Regardless of what numbers you use, Europe loses more than Russia. Sanctions only "work" (by the very low standards of workingness they're held to) if the sanctioned party needs to sell a lot more than the sanctioner needs to buy. With Europe that's clearly not the case - Russia can easily sell to others but Europe faces more or less immediate collapse. The advantage here is Russia's and the inability of the EU to recognize that they miscalculated threatens its population with dire levels of deprivation of economic destruction.
Its between $8/month and $99/month, and the highest tier includes all Jetbrains products. That looks... reasonable?
When I happen to feel critical of something that the woke or anti-woke crowd is critical of for their own irrational reasons, I am angry at that crowd, not at everybody else who is also angry at that crowd and who can not realistically be expected to distinguish every single individual critical comment when judging the legitimacy of an aggregate number.

In my experience, people directing anger the other way frequently end up declaring that they are now, in some capacity, on the side of the irrational crowd in question, with a "YOU made me do this" rationalization, which is pretty highly transparent.

Note that this is not to say there is no such thing as people doing the unfair lumping-in you describe on an individual basis, which is indeed its own problem.

But also note that, if you frequent the places where people feel more free to be openly anti-woke, you will find that those who would like to make irrational anti-woke criticisms also exaggerate the more acceptable criticisms you describe. This is because the show or movie is beyond merely "badly written" for them and has triggered their "hate" feelings. So, some amount of reviews critical of non-political/racial/etc things like pacing end up being magnified anyway by the hate the reviewer has underneath.
Did the writer travel alone after all?
Railroad tycoon 3 had such a nice price system, where each kind of goods had a price at each point on the map, and that price changed depending on supply (including deliveries) and demand. Goods could even move short distances by itself (spreading out over consuming towns, for example). So while the game was a transportation game, it was also a game of arbitrage and efficiency. You could buy industries, and setting up multi level production chains could be very profitable.
In my case, it was the research.

If you bill 2h of DuckDuck-ing for suitable libraries to use as dependencies, that sounds like you're slacking off. But it'll probably save money for the project as a whole.
>Even amongst doctors I know, most woes are pinned down to the NHS's modern addiction to statistics to judge everything.

Yes, statistics are never a substitute for knowledge, no matter how much SVs insists that it is.
Yeah, the writing is the issue. I have no problem with ethnicity or even gender swaps. Honestly, a gender swap of a male character would have been better than changing Galadriel

The problem is that they’re more focused on tying the series to Peter Jackson’s work and ensuring that children can watch it. The original stories were better.
> to adjust for relativistic time drag between Earth surface nominal 1G and sat orbit height gravity

That's just the General Relativity correction. There's also a Special Relativity correction to account for time dilation caused by the satellite's speed, which works in the opposite direction to the GR correction yet the two don't exactly cancel each other. Plus there are some others (Doppler shift, Sagnac effect, etc.)

> How does your model explain that reserve requirements are now 0%?

> Why haven’t the banks created infinite money?

Reserve requirements are not the only constraint limiting bank’s ability to lend. The banks are also limited by the number of qualified borrowers who are seeking a loan. Qualified borrowers must have sufficient collatoral and/or income coverage to service the loan as well as a need to borrow funds. Banks can’t sell more loans than qualified borrowers are buying.
How did you get your first client
95/hr, doing "web stuff" for small businesses
I charge 75 EUR per hour but my main client is very loyal (15 years working together), pays on time (24 hours) and I might soon become a business partner.

I de design, backend in PHP test and do server administration of a PMS for hotel.
Yeah. Mechanics charge 50, automobile repairs tech charge 100.
Well, there's still a chance that someone does the Elijah Bailey books separately, perhaps.
Stereotype?
I have a pair of glasses with leds that pulsate light at different frequencies following a programmed routine on an arduino chip. You, of course, use it with eyes closed. First time I used it I felt pretty bad, but there was something intriguing going on. I tried it again the next day and it was amazing. It induces a state of very deep relaxation. As the routine progresses you get more and more relaxed. Your mind really changes from an alert alpha frequency, to a delta or theta frequency. At the end of it I feel like I did a session of deep meditation with mantras. So yes, this really does work.
I think I got good enough at it by the end of the week I was in NYC.
I agree, learning to direct focus can shine valuable light onto (often unreflected) self-narrative processing.

Exercise never yielded the benefits I sometimes saw in studies for me but every time I manage to motivate myself to do the healthy/sane/right thing against inner resistance, it leads to a small boost in self-respect that accumulates over time.
Why Can’t We All Be R̶I̶C̶H̶ Happy?
So I was talking to a cop, because I do in fact talk to cops all the time, talked about prison, like convicts pretending to be sick for a bit, I told him that's like their vacation. Then escape came up, Marshal Service came up. I told him, dude rather stay right in my cell than being hunted by the Marshal Service.

Dude like Wyatt Earp? The only escape from Wyatt Earp, the only safe harbor, the real place you can go, is stay right where you are, in your cell.

So this is a sick hack, that's exactly what this forum is about.

Hacker News.
Apparently we're not the target audience.

When I got to "I write a lot.", my first thought was "That's a shame."

Not my proudest moment.

After stepping back for a minute and assuming the author is reasonable, I'm left to conclude that he made a strong choice to speak to an audience that he felt like he could and should reach. If that's true, and that voice is the way to reach them, then it's also possible that the target audience is turned off by the sort of voice that would reach me.

There are a lot of assumptions there, but I would also be making assumptions if I were to go with my initial thought.
> Right, because of all of parts of the story that have been changed, _this_ is the part that must be kept - using white skin to equate to purity.

And maybe the blue hair too, given she's named after her blue hair.

> Do you agree that in our modern diverse society a black woman can be used to represent "purity"?

Do you agree that for white here we mean white the colour, not the pink skin tone, which is inhuman?
I am not white like Swedish people are, certainly not like the blue fairy.

It's mythology, it's not literal, you are taking it literally, only zealots do that.

Do you know that in African mythology fairies are white too?

Yumboes (they resemble European fairies) are the spirits of the dead and, like many supernatural beings in African beliefs, they are completely of a pearly-white colour

Did it ever occured to you that western mythology was made by westerners and it is silly to try to bend it to reflect USA of today, while they could use non western mythologies and finally show other cultures respect, but probably American studios can't do that, because they wanna make money and not really respect diversity?

Why take an 1883 Italian book to show a black fairy?
Every electrical grid works the way you described, and it's not how TTD works from the point of view that you are pushing.

On the electrical grid, if a German producer sells to Italy, while an Italian producer sells to Germany, both will end with less money than if both sold locally. Not much less, because the grid operator will arrange things for them to actually sell locally, while billing the remote party, but they will lose some money.

The thing with TTD is that it's from the point of view of the transporter, and the transporter obviously gain more money for carrying things further away. The grid owner also gets more money on the scenario that both parties are exporting their energy, that's why the producers get less. The thing that is not realistic on TTD is that you get to choose where you will transport things to. That doesn't happen on the real world.

In the repair industry, technician is reserved for folks that can properly diagnose and make any and all repairs.

A mechanic is someone who can throw parts at a car but isn’t likely to be able to perform in-depth diagnostics or advanced repairs especially on newer cars with complex electrical systems.

A mechanic in Alabama should expect to earn $50k-$60k while a tech is closer to $110k or so.

I know at least 9 guys in my county who never finished high school and couldn’t compose a proper sentence if their lives depended on it yet they earn $150k+ per year repairing automobiles.
Isn’t this just because we, the viewers, know that she is right given the whole Sauron is the big bad in Lord of the Rings? We are suppose to appreciate her focus and refusal to give up given that we know she will be ultimately vindicated.

You were complaining about a very specific incident, using wording that suggested you either didn't understand the background behind it, or were deliberately attempting to obscure that background in order to paint Apple as worse than they are.

If your beef with Apple is the lack of repairability of their phones and laptops, then you do you. Personally, I have no problem with it, because it's a tradeoff that gets me laptops with higher build quality in a smaller package.

But if your stated beef with Apple is something that isn't true or doesn't make a lick of sense, I'm gonna call it out, if only to help reduce the degree to which the false narrative about the throttling spreads.
I mean, it is quite impressive that Tom Cruise looked like that when he was 59. (He's 60 now.)
I think OP is making the point that now is a good time for oppressive states to start doing their thing. The world is distracted.
That sounds rather unlikely, unless you've somehow ended up in a job that could be done by someone who doesn't really know anything about anything, in which case I don't think your education was the issue.
That is the problem, the sbcl-1.2.11 binary doesn't work at all for me, even after telling gatekeeper to allow the executable and core file.

I have suggested on sbcl-devel that the link to the binary should be removed from the Download web page, people would then look in a third-party package collection for a bootstrap binary.
It can be quite surprising how what might seem like minor differences to the programmer can require major changes to the hardware.

I saw an MITx class on EdX called "Computation Structures" a few years ago and took it for fun. In the second part of that students design at the logic gate level a 32-bit RISC processor, except that we could assume black boxes for the register file and memory.

I considered trying to actually build mine using good old classic 74xx series logic. Mine would have needed 140 quad MUX2 chips, 75 quad AND2 chips, 81 dual MUX4 chips, and 55 quad XOR2 chips, 16 dual D flip flop chips, plus a handful of others.

It was around 370 chips in total.

My design included a shift unit that can do left or right shifts, arithmetic or logical, of 1 to 31 bits in 1 clock cycle.

If I replaced that with a shift unit that could only do 1 bit logical right shift, and changed the instruction set to have a new instruction for that, made the old shift instructions trap, and then emulated them in the trap handler, a whopping 88 of those 140 quad MUX2 chips would no longer be needed.

That would bring it down to around 280 chips. The fancy shifter was almost a quarter of the parts count!
Of course. Is anyone surprised?

This is not a "owned by amazon fuck bezos" comment. All review sites are bogus. All review numbers are bogus. YouTube like/dislike ratios, reddit vote counts, it's all bogus. You can't rely on anyone else telling you whether you should like something or not. That shortcut is gone forever. People will game it in an effort to game your life.
Is this something that could be argued about other sorts of crime as well? In particular, in the ongoing fight against encryption that has been widely commented on HN multiple times, can (or should) one (safely) argue that e.g. the optimal amount of online sex trafficking and child abuse is greater than zero? What would be the consequences of taking such a stance once it inevitably reaches public discourse?
Hah, same, though most of my complaints would revolve around the UI/UX.

Like how it'd be nice to be able to gradually scale the UI and text (instead of either having just 2x option, or having to manually change font sizes in config files; which is still a passable solution for now).

Or maybe how some inspiration from Transport Fever 2 wouldn't hurt - personally I think it has the absolute best UI/UX from any of the transportation tycoon/simulation games out there. A clear overview of all the lines/routes and vehicles that are attached to them, color coded and visualized on the map. Very easy planning of new routes with the relevant bits being highlighted while you build things and so on.

It would be amazing to have a game like OpenTTD (low hardware requirements, lots of nice content, nice to look at, great mod support) with the actual experience of playing it a bit more like Transport Fever 2.

Oh, also, games like Mashinky (still grid based) did the creation of railroads/roads infinitely better than OpenTTD does, in my opinion - even the switch types that you most likely need were selected automatically and the track segments were visualized.
They will afford heating, only they will heat just the room they need at the temperature they need rather than heating to comfort. And keep in mind, if demand goes down, prices go down.
> Psychedelics can help to show the way, not to solve it.

The best way I had it described to me is:

Psychedelics are microscopes, not panaceas. A trained psychiatrist is the panacea.
Delivery is done with cargo bikes
I feel like this starts with an agreeable premise. Some fraud is egregious, costly, and/or easy to detect. These low-hanging or high-impact cases are most worth pursuing. At some point you reach diminishing returns, where the amount of time / effort / capital you're putting in to eliminating fraud outstrips the losses from the fraud itself.

I don't know that I agree with the ethical conclusion that the optimal amount of fraud is therefore non-zero. The leap from "anti-fraud efforts are expensive" to these sentences in the final paragraph was not, in my opinion, convincingly made here:

>We should, as a society, accept non-zero amounts of benefits fraud. We should accept non-zero amounts of cheating on taxes.
>Sounds a lot like cognitive bias to me. It's ultimately a placebo if you still need to put the work in.

If you take a doping pill to run faster, you still need to train and to expand heavy personal effort during the race. Is the doping pill "placebo"?

Heck, if you have leg surgery after an accident, depending on the type of surgery, you often need (and are advised by the doctor, and asked to take it up with physiotherapist and such) to put in personal work and exercize properly for months, to be able to walk and regain use of your leg again. Is the leg surgery placebo?

Or how about a debugger. It wont solve your problem automatically. You still need to write the program yourself, to look into different places, and to know how to find a bug etc. Is the debugger a placebo?

Needing to put personal work to get a result is not what's the distinction between a placebo and a drug.

A placebo is not that which is only effective when combined with additional personal effort (that can hold for any regular drug).

A placebo is a neutral drug that does nothing at all itself (it's just water, or some neutral powder or saline solution, etc) and it's effectiveness is all about the belief that it helps.

Besides, psychedelics (even assuming what they do have no bearing at all to getting better from depression, etc, an assumption with which research disagrees), have huge immediate effects on mental state when taken. So they're not neutral in the way a placebo is even on that account.
It's not just sharing the changes. You have to be really careful how you integrate/modify the source. If you aren't you could accidentally expose proprietary information within those modifications. It's that kind of headache that means it is just easier to avoid.

>He was black.

A quick search shows results saying his ancestors were all from northern Africa and the Middle East. He doesn't even look black in various busts/statues depicting him. He definitely looks north African. I'm pretty into Roman history, and this is the first time I've ever encountered someone suggesting there was a "black" (in the modern sense of the word) emperor.
Notably all other countries have a similar fractional reserve banking model even if the details may vary. Specifically, the money loaned out by the bank is created out of thin air in the form of bank credit and does not come out of any account. The banks in every country have no cost of goods for the money they lend out. They are authorized by government charter to create this money out of thin air. This is true whether they have reserve requirements or not.
> We don’t owe them watching an unspecified number of episodes - hours of screen time - to give them a chance to give us something to like about the characters.

Nobody thinks you owe the authors anything - of course you don’t have to watch it at all.

But if you wanted to try it how few episodes or chapters are you will to give a creative work time to reach a character development?

What's the point of a character development in the first couple of episodes or chapters? That's just churn - they aren't genuinely developing in that time because you won't have given them any time to establish something to develop from. And where do they go from there? Just keep having major developments every episode? That'd be exhausting.
