This absolutely happened to me, except with a physician's prescription of Xanax rather than psychadelics. I was severely depressed, experiencing daily panic attacks, etc.

I stopped taking them pretty quickly because I'm prone to addiction, but your experience mirrored mine completely.
Why does centralization or regulatory capture imply destruction of the network? Maybe it means the opposite and more people will be willing to use it for financial transactions?

Only time will tell
I would be very glad if grass lawns were made unlawful in the US. It is a terrible waste of time, money, and natural resources for something so useless. I don't have any idea why this silly concept became so common in this country.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your idea, that sounds like it goes against the First Amendment.
Get back to me when Bitcoin is at 250k, and then tell me how much of a disaster El Salvador's decision was.

Good things take time. 1 year is not enough to determine the success of anything, especially initializing a new financial system for a country.
I misunderstood you. I thought the "But there seem to be too many notes here to not call it a symphony" was referring to me. I thought you were insinuating I was a psychopath.

I apologize. I clearly didnt understand what you were saying.

your reason for the burner makes sense. Im just so used to people using burners to troll that I assumed that was the reason. We have had more than a few people harass us by trolling our zoom talks and our posts.
Bureaucracy everywhere slows everything to a halt and pumps the costs of anything sky high. In developed West -
through regulations and Kafkaesque process, in the rest of the world - through corruption. Pouring concrete and laying pipes is cheap and fast, it is everything else in the project that makes it costly and expensive.
This is why OSHA was created.

It turns out that the centralized government can conduct safety inspections and enforce safety rules.

It's one of the reasons unions fell out of favor in America. They never enforced safety, and many fell in with the mafia instead to shake down companies while providing no service.
A non-trivial number of VR users experience phantom sense of varying strength, including myself. Proprioception is not the only thing being consulted here, seeing someone touch what visually seems like your face is a common low-level manifestation of this. It's possible to be in an avatar and have someone touch the avatar's tail and somehow weirdly you can feel like "your tail" is being touched (albeit you feel it in your tail bone).

Maybe the technology to better integrate more brain variants will eventually exist, but current VR tech already has a niche to cater to and develop from.
I'm confused by what you wrote, because when I worked there during the pandemic, or even a year into it, almost no one was in the office. The first plan was to bring people back by Jan 2022, but then it was decided that individual directors could decide for their teams what was best. From what I saw while I was there (approx 6 months ago), most desks were still empty.

I don't mean to necessarily disagree with the general tone of what you're saying, though. I felt some of that while I was there.
More waste: now there is an extra water system to maintain and repair.
If you truly believed that, you’d choose to have Down’s Syndrome given the opportunity. Somehow, I doubt your commitment to that platitude.

> Jackson has repeatedly appealed for funding to address this issue and they have been repeatedly denied that funding by the state's Republican leader

I'm not sure if cities in Mississippi normally get state funding to maintain municipal water systems, but regardless, if the state isn't providing funding, the next option is securing local funding.
I work great laying down, either on a couch, comfy chair, or even bed. I find it's most comfy in a slouching position so the laptop has the right angle and you don't have to hunch forward haha. (Of course don't do it too much and keep active etc etc)

Standing at a standing desk also works great for me. I am also really productive in trains for some reason, even though the position is less then ideal.

Outside areas can also be great if you can make sure you can see your screen and are out of the direct sun.
Yeah I have, it's very impressive
The reaction is likely because Tolkien has many hard core fans that did not appreciate the changes made to the lore.
Ukraine accepts aid.

States reject aid.

People are willing to help, but people have to be willing to be helped.
It says in the article that the city is run by Democrats, and the state has been run by Republicans for the past 19 years.
> repeatedly denied proper funding to Jackson

"Proper" as defined by the people who are asking for the money.

The fact that they're regularly asking for more money is causally independent of essentially anything else.

An alternative theory, which seems to have a lot of supporting evidence, is that the Jackson government habitually mismanages resources.
>All other OSes break with every update.

I've never had a Windows install break because of a dodgy update. Not saying it doesn't happen but its never happened to me, whereas when it has happened, its always been some Linux distro. Doesn't matter which because I've seen it happen on all the major ones (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc..)

In fact I have a Linux VM right now, pegging the host's CPU to 100% because of a broken update.

Honestly you should probably take your own advice re: not know what you're talking about.

>>Linux is the desktop with the most amount of WTFs. With a big margin!

FTFY
It’s a really good question. Probably the answer was a mixture of (2), (3) and (4). As things stand now, Europe is going to have to answer this question right now in a hurry since reliable access to Russian gas no longer seems like a viable option. In other words: it wasn’t a choice whether Europe would need another option, but simply whether they would have to do it in a crisis mode.
It's analogous - reaching zero benefit fraud would impact legitimate recipients.

And benefits are for helping people who are in poverty.
The threshold was chosen empirically. Modern processors are very fast when operating on memory sequentially, as the prefetcher achieves the best case scenario. The cost of a cache line miss is so substantial this ends up dominating things until "n" is in the 1000s. A lot of programmers' intuition is off the mark on this point.
I think you and the parent poster are in agreement, insofar as much of HN is simultaneously displeased with their professional life whilst trying to go fro £140k to £240k per annum.

Banks don't have much initiative for investments in IT security. They have insurances.

That's why IT sec all around banking is just the bare minimum required by regulations.

Those sec-specs are also usually at least one decade behind the state of the art… And they get updated only extremely seldom as this would cause "a lot of paper work" at the banks, so the banks are always against any changes to that regulations; and if something changes finally it takes the banks again at least half a decade to adapt to those changes; they can do it like that as the time windows to comply are usually set to be very long, because you know, it's really a lot of paper work…
I don't know why it matters that the existing users of carbon capture are oil companies.

Sure, that means it hasn't yet been used to sequester carbon in other contexts, but there's no reason it can't be.

It's like trying to discredit nuclear fission in 1950 by saying that it's a poor source of energy because all existing users of fission tech are weapons designers.
> Being able to waste land and water resources like that is a typical signal of wealth.

The people with lawns that I know and grew up knowing didn't take care of them to "signal wealth". Many would never care to own a luxury car or Rolex. Rather, they enjoyed gardening, the aesthetics, and having their kids play in the lawn. They barbequed every weekend and enjoyed time outdoors at home.

> Those lawns are usually grown in a way where soil microbes are killed off, water retention capability are reduced (so it needs more water)

This land will never be used for farming again. It's residential and will remain so for centuries or longer.

Many of these perceptions are from assumption or projection. Not actually living these lives or being familiar enough with the people making these decisions.

No, I wouldn't mind. To get hopping mad about this kind of thing you have to be thinking a bit more about race than ... normal people do
I think it's because we're older and have had the unfortunate experience of having to actually work with a union.

It's a nightmare. Do not ever engage a union worker if you ever want to get anything done.
If your job is fixing broken windows, then supporting vandalism just so you get to keep your job is a pretty asinine philosophy.

Morons... just too many morons in the world, we are truly living in the world of Idiocracy and morons have become the dominant life form on this planet. God help us all.
Personally I think it's perfectly fine. Just a few people can take a lot of your mental energy and make you less interested in your own project. Not being a company you don't have to deal with this and somehow there seem to be power law distribution like everywhere else - I mean if you provide support, a few people will use as much of your time as the whole bottom half of them.

So even if you would have 90% chance of false positive it may be worth it.

At the same time, if you treat them charitable, ignore emotions and do your best with such people/comments, they may also turn out to be great contributors and valuable feedback. Just the fact that somebody takes his time, his most valuable resource, to provide any kind of feedback is something. There are popular projects with known bugs which take a lot of time to reach developers because everybody is busy with their own stuff and doesn't have time to report stuff which others may just as well report. Plus, such person is more likely to share their experience with others which may discourage or encourage some potential contributors like it is happening right now.

It is amazing how much PR can a single person do over the years when she has really strong opinion about something.
You would've been really cool when I was 14.
> - CI/CD script uses Kotlin DSL, feels "heavy".

That's a PRO!

Every CI/CD tool that uses yaml or any other non-programming-language should burn in hell.

Let the developer write the code that creates the datastructure that describes the CICD process. That is flexible, reusable and can even be made typesafe.
Is homebrew actually overwriting system files or is your shell’s path set up so homebrew’s versions take precedence?
The modern world's ubiquitous communication and transportation is increasingly moving people closer and closer to each other's front doorstep. As a result, everyone encounters more diverse people and opinions than they used to.

This is, indeed, not something everyone enjoys. But it is the more or less inevitable direction of the future.
You don't have to hide the million drones if the carrier group doesn't have enough firepower to destroy them all before they reach the carrier.

But you might be able to, if they're small enough. Or underwater.

If you can provoke nuclear retaliation, you win twice, at least to the extent that anyone can "win" a battle nowadays: first, you sink Enemy A's carrier (or, more realistically, permanently incapacitate it), and second, you draw Enemy A's nukes onto Enemy B's territory where you launched the drones from.
It's not just you; I've only had to touch brew a rare few times (because I normally don't work on Apple stuff unless I absolutely need to for some reason), and I also quickly noticed how the "discussions" on issues are absolutely one-sided most of the time. They are extremely quick to take offense.

In other words, they basically have the same attitude as Apple itself.
Firstly sea levels have nothing to do with this at all, these coastal changes were caused by erosion.

Anyway some sea level changes are natural, some look to be man made. Just because natural changes can happen, it doesn’t follow that man made one’s don't happen, or if they do that it’s ok.
This all feels very "I don't have the data to back up my assertion, so I'll just state it's true because your use of data makes it true"

I'll just state quality of life is flat out better in the US than Europe, and anything you use to show otherwise just proves that I'm right since you're just trying to reduce it to X metric.
How do you propose that one might log in "as user X who can do Y" in a future where passwords have gone away?
Your comment here broke the site guidelines, including these:

- "Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents." (you went on a quintessential generic flamewar tangent)

- "Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead." (you did exactly the thing that we added this rule to discourage)

Can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules? They're designed to avoid the tedious, repetitive flamewars this kind of thing leads to.

p.s. I'm not saying that such phrases aren't provocative—they are provocative. That's why we (HN commenters) have to be the ones to interrupt the predictable provocation process, if we're going to have the interesting, curious, diffy* conversations that this site is supposed to be for.

Methalox ends up being preferable because Hydrogen ends up performing relatively similarly when accounting for the extra tank mass needed to effectively contain it (both in terms of thicker walls and larger tanks in general). Methalox can't achieve Hydrogen ISPs but in exchange it's much easier to contain, allowing for much lighter and simpler tanks, resulting in similar deltaV overall.

On top of that cryo methane and oxygen are at closer temperatures than hydrogen and oxygen, which simplifies storage further.

So effectively the difference is that Hydrogen embrittles everything and makes development more expensive even without reuse considerations, making Methane superior unless you're SLS and being wasteful is a feature.
Russia and Venezuela had a military exercise together in a not so distant past.

The closest analogy would be the Communist Cuba and the crisis after the Soviets put nuclear weapons there. Cuba has not been annexed, or declared the core US land, though.
Amazon does have a habit of putting its distribution centers in economically depressed places with no jobs where all the people who could leave already did.

In the 1930s the US government provided an "employer of last resort" to prevent giving people like bezos from wielding this kind of power and growing the economy but apparently these days weak moral platitudes suffice.
There's groups on facebook (classic gaming) or reddit (/r/tipofmyjoystick) that will help out if you can describe it.
I’d be willing to bet it was built from scratch on less than $2 billion in inflation adjusted dollars. The US has insane costs when it comes to infrastructure. Too many greedy little fingers in the pies, too much paperwork and litigation, too many people with effective vetoes.
Democrats are using their party in order to associate themselves with the victims. This is an all-black city within a virulently racist state. That's the problem it has, and if you filtered cities by blackness, you'd find crumbling infrastructure and bad water everywhere. Comparing them to wealthy blue suburbs/cities within poorer red states is not useful.

White people in the state are trying to get funds to go to where they live, not where other people live (just like everyone does), and additionally they live in a revanchist mythology of Jackson being overrun by blacks with the help of the Democrats, and tell stories of how beautiful Jackson was to their grandparents. That would be enough to seal off any possible empathy.

Jackson is just big Flint. Or Dixmoor: https://news.google.com/search?q=dixmoor+water

In the 60s and 70s, ghettos grew to encompass entire cities while the middle-class retreated to subsidized enclaves. In the 2000s, the grandkids moved back into the city for work and to imitate people on television who seemed cooler than them. Maybe this is the next phase of the cycle.
>DDOS-for-hire

KF uses cloudflair specifically because it's haters try to DDOS the site.
... unless you need to actually get work done.

You've never dealt with American unions. Trying to get a union worker to help you do something means filling out paperwork to do things like moving a chair from one room to the next room.

At the company level unions in the 1980s became synonymous with organized crime. They would call strikes whenever they wanted a bribe.
KF is just a forum, nothing posted there is illegal.
Exactly.

But patio’s argument is that since he works for the fraud department at Stripe payments, he wants fraud to exist so he can keep his cushy job.

I mean, if your problem is specifically that you're not able to make that chemical / not as receptive to that chemical / clean that chemical up too quickly compared to the average person, then "add more of it" would be the obvious solution.

If your microprocessor is having floating-read problems because the voltage on the 5V/12V power lines is more like 2V/4V, then "more power" is exactly what it needs.
No, their argument was that they shouldn't do anything about it because the two times they did it wound up causing every tinpot dictatorship to show up on their doorstep and demand they do the same for people that hadn't done anything wrong except piss off the wrong dictator. This is why rights exist in the first place: so that when some idiot erroneously says your sight is "enabling doxxing, harassment and DDOS-for-hire" when all you actually do is document the bad behavior of bad individuals on the internet, well, you don't get run out of town on a pole... because the guy with the pole knows that today it's you, but tomorrow it could be him.
Good luck fighting about CF's morality HN. But the root-cause here is lack of legislature explicitly defining rights and obligations of security researchers and the vulnerability reporting process.

As it stands, you can get raided for vuln reporting (doesn't happen a lot because if common sense not law), harrassed, face retaliation and have the vendor silently fix it without crediting you.

For some reason everyone thinks this is a matter to be legislated and resolved by poularity contests (don't use vendor X) and/or capitalism. Which is interestingly why the FTC is even involved I guess?

In an ideal society you wouldn't need such laws and the default is liberty but in this society the only reason researchers are even being allowed to do their job is things like twitter and fears of PR nightmares (which won't work with every vendor/company ).
If you do ever make a project I'd advise not publishing source code and obtaining a domain early. Initially this was an open source project on github pages but then redactleunlimited,com copied my work slapped a silly logo on the page then claimed to be me on social media. Now they've joined wordle-unlimited,io which is a modern eBaum's world of plagiarized games all linking each other for SEO.
When you say "send so much foreign aid", how much do you think we send? It's around 1% of the federal budget (maybe not this year, but until 2021 at least). In contrast, the federal government "sends" 16% of its budget to states (in 2019 at least), and obviously the rest of government spending is intended to at least indirectly benefit people in US states.

Ironically, googling sources for this is difficult because almost every result is about how Americans think we send 10-25% of the federal budget as foreign aid, but the actual number is far less.

It says a lot that you perceive such a short and IMHO well-deserved expression of frustration as "being a jerk".

If I was on the receiving end of that, I would only apologise as being the one at fault. That's what defuses the situation instead of aggravating it.

It makes everyone's lives a little better, including your own.

No it doesn't. This "forced positivity" is far worse in the long term.
Anything that runs across computers seems to me to be application-level, not OS-level, by definition

Novell Netware was also marketed as a Network Operating System, in the sense that none of its services were confined to the local machine: its entire purpose was to combine a network of computers into a single management unit.

I had a Dell Precision laptop and a super long subway commute. Apparently the beast wasn't designed for use under those conditions and parts started failing. They replaced whatever it took to get it working again. I was so sad when the new parent company changed our hardware provider.
Ask HN: How to know whether a specific educational institution is legit?
I'm considering enrolling in a university. I'm in my late 20s, so there is no space for making wrong calls.

Due to the proliferation of various educational institutions, both local and international, I'm looking for reliable methods to determine whether a particular one is "legit." What does that mean? Well, I'm sure you know, but let's make it clear: it should be reputable enough so that the degree holder is taken seriously among employers and isn't ridiculed by colleagues.

We live in the "diploma mills" era where for-profit companies disguised as universities sell diplomas to naive students. The criteria to get one are often low or non-existent, as long as one pays the tuition fees.

Where I'm at, the situation with public universities is slightly better but far from confidence-inspiring. The forums I frequent are full of lost students falling off the uni's assembly lines with neither knowledge nor real-world experience. Of course, there are some brilliant people, too, but they're almost an exception to the rule.

TL;DR: how to pick a good school?
