> Such a direct involvement of foreign superpowers was not seen even in the Syrian Civil War.

Russia and NATO Turkey have both been engaged in Syria. This led to a Russian incursion into Turkey being shot down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shoo...

I can see why the West was so reluctant to get involved in Syria given the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan, but I do wonder if more decisive action of some kind against Russia's involvement, or their shootdown of a passenger jet, or the Salisbury poisonings, might have discouraged the invasion of Ukraine in the first place.

"It would be better if people saved up for their own retirement over time and did not depend on the government forcing the working force to give up their income."

The US had that exact system up until about 1935 - when Social Security was founded. It turns out that if we let people save for their own retirement, the vast majority will choose not to.
Having kids you cannot afford is immoral.
Why don't we try actively enforcing and severely punishing drunk drivers instead of giving them back their licenses after a slap on the wrist?

Why is the default here to go the overcomplicated solution and reduce everyone's privacy by pointing cameras at them in their personal vehicles instead? This smacks of the same uninformed decision making that leads to some startup reinventing the bus as an idea for an app every other year.

Furthermore it continues to ignore any solution that hinges on addressing the real issue (alcohol abuse) and burdens the millions of Americans that don't even drink.
It is incredibly strange to hear from you (and others in this thread) who don't have a spam problem with GMail. From everyone I've talked to, it seemed endemic. From my experiences with my own account (circa 2004), GMail has moved backwards in recent years. I'd say it became a serious problem a few years ago. Marking things as spam is useless because then you immediately start getting legitimate mail marked as spam. Marking those as not-spam just leads directly to getting more spam. It happens with a single click. It's a 2 position slider at this point.
Freedom is the notion that it is more important to protect the innocent than to punish the guilty. The burden of proof falls to those who would abrogate our liberty, to show beyond a shadow of doubt that their measures will be effective and worthwhile. The standard of evidence must be higher than "I think it'll work!" Prove that it will really prevent those deaths before you get a second word.
Don’t know why you put safety in quotes. You’re implying that this won’t make streets safer, by reducing drunk driving. But reducing drunk driving would in fact make streets safer.

Our goal should be to have zero deaths related to common car usage and driving. For example, the backup camera is there to help reduce the number of people backing up over their own kids. This is a good thing.

You can argue that this system may not be the correct implementation to reduce drunk driving. You can argue other things might actually be better. But don’t claim that personal liberty is at stake for people when 43,000 people lost their personal liberty when their lives ended. Why don’t you care about their personal liberty?
And inject a modal reminder into your web browsing on every page load with two buttons, "Pay Now" and "Remind me Later."
I absolutely understand the annoyance-factor of "Pinterest-itis" (though it seems that either they've dialled their "you must absolutely register now in order to see anything"-behaviour down a little bit again, or maybe it's just that half-forgotten userscript I installed at some point – either way it's currently not that infuriating for me), but given that e.g. direct image indexing seems almost non-existant for Instagram, being able to stumble across some images from there via the detour of Pinterest is better than nothing I suppose. (It's only infuriating if somebody saved an image to their computer/phone/… and then manually re-uploaded it to Pinterest again, so that the source URL of the image is then missing…)

Likewise if the original image has already disappeared from the net – finding a copy via Pinterest is still better than finding nothing. (Interestingly Bing's search can serve a similar purpose – compared with Google, it feels like Bing is much more reluctant to remove 404'd images from its index again. While those broken results are annoying, too – and unlike Pinterest neither Google nor Bing store (at least publicly) full-resolution copies of those images – at least you can try plugging the preview image into reverse image search and with some luck maybe find an alternative copy of that image that has survived elsewhere.)

And finally, the keywords added by Pinterest are possibly also helpful in making images more discoverable. (This might be no longer that relevant now that Google is also running image recognition on the images it indexes and no longer has to solely rely on the hope that any text near that image or the rare "alt"/"title"-text is actually relevant to the image contents, but it might still help a little.)
This appears to be a software stack written by one guy who doesn't really believe in marketing. Moderately difficult to work out what is here from the docs but there is GPL'd source available.

There's a language and I think a bespoke database. Some web things. Probably not an OS and there are references to a patched Linux kernel.

Quite difficult to determine the language semantics. I think it's a hybrid of lisp and C.
The IRS is responsible for checking if you are paying the correct amount of taxes, and a component of that is knowing what income you have and where it comes from - since tax depends on the source of income typically (you have to pay different amounts of tax on money you got by selling shares versus money you stole from a shop).
I would argue that if you’re really interested in systems programming, learning C is required just because the vast majority of the resources on systems programming is explained using C. The only notable exception is the Book Rust In Action! That being said, is your goal to be a systems programmer or a rust programmer? If it’s the latter, then learn Rust! But, as it seems that you are learning programming in general, learn the basics and data structures algorithms (these are rather language agnostic).
Just looked at the specs, and unfortunately NVLink is not supported on these cards.
How would the team have any idea whether they can meet a deadline without estimates?

I like the way we've set it up at my company. In product/engineering, we use our estimates and plan our projects in quarters and project more or less based on how many points teams have completed in the past.

Outside of product/engineering, we report milestones on our projects with expected delivery dates. We don't mention the points because they mean nothing to the rest of the business without context.

The only big problem I have with pointing is when those numbers are used as performance metrics or judged by outside stakeholders without context on the work. I think we've solved for that and get to reap the benefits
C will teach you how computers think.

Rust is it's own thing; I personally really like it but going from C to Rust is harder than just going to Rust as you have to "unlearn" C paradigms.

You'll probably be "better" if you go C first, but it will take a lot of time and energy.

In the end its completely up to you.
There are toll highways, operated by local governments, that track when you get on and off using cameras at fixed points. They could do this today and choose not to. Probably because they know everyone speeds and that if they did, people would avoid the highway and revenue would drop.
>All our economic and political systems are based on growth

Hardly, you can find plenty of societies that operated at a steady state or even a decline. Capitalism isn’t tied to growth it’s tied to efficiency. Companies don’t become more efficient than their competitors for all time, they become more or less efficient as new management and workers take over. Look at the biggest companies from 1920’s and most have failed or been taken over.

Shrinking populations don’t inherently destroy retirement systems they at most force people to work longer or receive fewer benefits. Social security for example hands people about a 10x benefit range based on contributions but if the minimum acceptable benefit is X, there isn’t an inherent need to hand out more than that.
I don't find that email concerning at all given that there are no sources cited so I can't judge for myself whether or not abusive behavior was actually being perpetrated.
If you don't mind an unrelated question - what do you mean when you write "WIN32 lacks consistency" for things like chdir() and unlinkat()? If you mean the inability to pass HANDLEs instead of paths, you might want to use the native NT APIs (like NtOpenFile and NtDeleteFile), which let you use handles directly.
Are you excluding violent crime and terror attacks? How else could you come to that conclusion?
The “meaningful new finding” is statistical noise that only affects a few data points. You’ve written hundreds of words without addressing that core issue.

Eager to hear your thoughts on this once you’ve organised them.
That $250k or so number has been bandied about since the 90s. It’s an average and isn’t entirely useful (as education costs can be a huge portion of it depending on how you calculate it).

Kids are expensive but they can be as expensive as you want them to be, as evidenced by poor people having them.
Thanks.

That looks strongly like a simple pass-through.
Sure you can. Mark it as "not spam".

Of course, do that once, and you'll immediately start getting more spam, but that's another problem.
> likely

Ehh, "likely". Seems to me like there were quite a lot of much more pressing factors.

> Because, if its really over NATO, why isn't Russia invading Finland?.

Why would it? Russia had warned Finland of repercussions of deploying NATOs military infrastructure.

NATO does not exist in a vacuum and we are not playing magical alchemy here:

Finland is a stable country with solid governmental and social institutions, that cares for the long-term prosperity of its citizens and generally doesn't base its identity on anti-russian rhetorics.

Ukraine, on the other hand, recently had a revolution, collapsed all the stability institutions that it had managed to grow after the SU dissolution, has a government relying on populist anti-russian militant rhetorics and has a president dumb enough to seriously and openly discuss deploying foreign nukes or making their own (Ukraine's atomic industry could produce dirty bombs).

Finland in NATO is sad, but at least it's not immediately dangerous, as Fins are unlikely to be willing to pose as human shields for the US military infrastructure.

Nowadays Ukraine in NATO is a total disaster and at its best would be a repetition of Turkey-Cuba missile crisis, except this time there would be no Cuba and no deterrent.
IDK. "Normal" financial institutions like banks have obligation to send the balance to the account of your choosing upon closing the account unless it is frozen. But the money can only be frozen for a specific reason and the bank has no ability to claim those money for themselves.

There is a good chance we will get a resolution because there is a potential class action brewing: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-13/paypal-su...
Tidal superseded Spotify a long time ago in features and quality. It's far from niche
Sounds like you're also implying that populations are shrinking because modern men aren't prepared to make that extra burden bearable.
I agree, it feels like a missed opportunity to not explore this. I'd love to see an analysis of the swirl design (or other commonly used manufacturer patterns), with the edges rounded or beveled on the intake face, exhaust face, or both.

Like, even on cut or stamped grills, how much could performance be improved by e.g. sandblasting the finished piece from one or both sides and taking down the edges a bit?
Yes, this article gets to the heart of the problem, like a few others, eg https://www.monbiot.com/2019/04/30/the-problem-is-capitalism...

Electric cars and other techno-fixes at best reduce the damage caused by what we do, and at worst, hide the damage from us.

The actual problem is in what we do, how we live.

IMHO there are two sustainable paths.

We can live 'in nature', as the article suggests. This probably requires a much lower population, and probable accepting nature's solutions to problems. Famine for over-population, etc.

Or we can detach entirely from nature. Live in beautiful self-sustaining cities, our food produced by cell culture, fermentation, indoor farms, etc, energy from solar, deep geothermal, etc. The rest of the world is a nature reserve.
I mean that's the main difference between the wire and all the others, really; the wire is round metal, the others are shapes stamped from flat metal.

That said, my current PC has plastic "angled slats" at the back (outlet) and a honeycomb and mesh (filter) at the front, so it could be quieter. I'll keep it in mind if I ever buy a new one. I believe the wire one was the most common on older PCs (90's / 2000's).
It feels like these blog posts come out at least once a year. To me, the issue comes down to the fact that companies are fundamentally relying on software that comes with no promises of support or a warranty. I honestly can't think of another industry that relies so heavily on things they get for free and come with no warranty.

So many people act like Open Source is great. But often the love for open source often only goes as far as to say thanks when they're creating a bug report or when they're getting the software for free. Every company I've worked at has used open source code. Only one of them open sourced their code. Many non-decision makers wanted to do open source code but it was never given any time so it would always come down to "You can do it in your free time and release it under our name". So again the company wants free things that benefit them.

Personally, I think the way forward is source available. I have a SaaS boilerplate/product framework thing that I'm releasing under the Business Source License where it's free to use for non production and free for folk generating less than $5,000 a month to use in production[1]. To me this provides the best of both worlds, people who aren't making money can use it for free but those who are using it to generate money need to pay to help fund the development. Free users get best efforts in support and paying customers get priority support. I think if it relies on people paying what they can afford it results in many not paying at all even though they can afford it.

Heh, oops. Should have seen that coming.

Yeah, it's probably my personal bias showing. I'm fine with most parts of the stack (like you, down to PCB design), but UI/GUI/WUI work is an area that I try very hard to avoid.
For twitter to me, it's not even about privacy - the regular frontend without being logged in is unusable. My instances are hosted publicly but I don't advertise them. I guess if people fancy it they are free to check it out, but would prefer it not to end up on any lists: https://midas.rocks/

The author doesn’t consider % void volume / aka ‘open-ness’ of the grill. (Or if they did, I missed it.)

I’d predict the most open to Have the least resistance, which would give the least noise.

Note that the original meaning of the term "Free Software" refers to liberty, not price: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html

Yes, all regulations are the same. Literally no difference between any of them.
Yep i agree with you and I don’t know why they do it, but I have run into one bank app that doesn’t let check deposits on a jailbroken phone
In my 15 years of experience the true happiness comes from the ability to choose what you want to do and avoid things you don't.
So if you in the place there you can specialize early in your carrier and know what you want to do - go for it.

But in my case I never had this chance in my first ~5-10 years in the IT. I lived in 3rd world country with like 3 IT company in the town. So I had to be generalist.

Right now while I'm still capable of doing more or less everything, I have my 'standards' of jobs I'm willing to do. For example I don't do frontend, not because I can't, but because I prefer to not do it. So basically right now I have a set of things I enjoy and I try to make sure I work on them. Probably I would be in a much better position if I could specialize in more complex fields (in terms of career opportunities), but at least I have enough experience to have some options I like.
In fairness to the other guy this doesn't say where the coins came from, not even a nice breadcrumb trail.

I was expecting something like this comment with maybe some extra working out. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32924389
Cities are nations are currently built to support X number of people. If the population drastically decreases, the infrastructure won't automatically scale down with the population, so a smaller number of people will need to fund the maintenance of the existing infrastructure. Imagine the what happened to Detroit, but at the scale of an entire country.

Also, pensions are essentially socially-sanctioned pyramid schemes. They require ever greater numbers of young people in order to pay out the benefits for old people. If people stop having a kids, the age demographics of a country will switch from a pyramid shape to obelisk shape, with a smaller number of young people funding the retirement of a larger slice of old people. Young people will be forced to pay significantly higher taxes or retired people will be forced to relinquish some or all of their retirement benefits. Neither solution will result in a happy society.
I think we can both have less people and help people who currently suffer. I don't see those two things as being incompatible
The average cost per kid also goes down with the number of kids you have. Economies of scale, hand-me-downs, kids sharing rooms, older kids providing free childcare etc…
I totally see the depopulation argument. But I also see the overpopulation argument, at least as it relates to our current standards of living/lifestyles, farming practices, and energy scarcity. We need innovation to keep pace with population increases, or else overpopulation is a real risk in my mind.
I never said that. I am pointing out that I take all these things with equal weight.

Why can't you answer my questions?
In theory, as technology becomes more and more advanced, you can have enough specialists to fill a very large number of very deep supply chains.

When you have a primitive society, you just need a "wood guy", a "stone guy" and a "plants guy".

If you want to have fancy computers, you need things like "high pressure silane pump control loop guy".

Though I'm pretty sure the number of people needed to maintain the current level of technology is substantially less than 7 billion, because a lot of those people are stuck in subsistence farming and basically don't contribute to industry.

Each "mouth" has a chance of yielding infinitely scalable innovation. For example, the Haber-Bosch process supplies 50% of the nitrogen found in human tissues.

[note: OP changed their comment while this was typed up.] Again, not the question.

If you went back in a time machine, and said “here’s some medicine, take it if you wanna stop at three kids” and changed nothing else societally, would everyone who had 16 kids still opt to have 16?

I think it’s unlikely every single woman would make the same choice given an alternative. Modern or otherwise.
You are talking complete nonsense. If you care so much about your retirement (I don't and don't know anyone my age who does, beyond putting some $ in savings), you would still need kids, because there is nothing more sad and lonesome than a poor old fart stuck in an old people's home who never gets visitors. I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemies.
Did she commit suicide after the 4th kid because it was too much on her?

That should answer the silly question.

She's not a character from a novel written by a modern day feminist about how hard and traumatic life is in a Middle Eastern country because she has to carry the burden of raising children.
The reality right now is that there are coloured coins by default. We said this would happen back like at least five years ago, and now it is finally here. This is only the start and is essentially the doom of the libertarian case for the blockchain, and once that is out the window I see very little use for it that a normal DB of cryptographic public keys couldn't handle.
The established remedy for abusive monopolies is enforcement of antitrust laws.
> "go home and stop being a Thunderbird member"

That's what being banned by an organization is.

If it feels similar to a cult, it's because cults are organizations too (I say this as a former cult member from birth who was shunned for leaving).

Regardless of the merits of the organization, there aren't other effective ways to guide acceptable behavior by its acolytes -- even criminal punishment by governments (organizations) is a related act.
Who knows, maybe they'll go with SuSE.
I would really love it when Thunderbird and/or Betterbird would use the system gpg keychain and not an internal one.

There is a half workaround where you can sort of use the system keychain for atleast pulic keys, but you still need to import your private keys.

Have you considered that trying to shut down free inquiry into these things makes many people even more distrustful of what you have to say?
