I feel like they pretty much have it under control at this point, though there is always the danger of an accident. If I had ot go live there again I would probably not live 3/4 of a mile from their 63 acre toxic waste dump. The more I read about the history and current status, the more concerning it was. While I lived there incidents occurred like accidental release of radioactive gases and organic compounds.

Another fun thing, the open hiking area by my house had a sign warning that one might encounter one of dozens of types of undetonated ordinance from the 50s and 60s when they used it as a test bombing range.

There were many very healthy looking elderly people walking around the neighborhood each day, so it can't be that deadly. I actually became very ill while living there (I developed adult onset type 1 diabetes), but I don't believe it had anything to do with the area.

> In 1999, McCartney recorded a haunting cover version of an obscure song called No Other Baby. He’d had the song in his head for years without knowing who recorded it or who it was written by. Whenever he sang it to people, nobody knew it. Only after recording it did he discover that the song, or at least the version of it, was by a skiffle group called The Vipers, who released it as a single in 1958, the year after John met Paul (as it turns out, the record was, rather remarkably, produced by George Martin). Paul said he never owned the record, which means he would have heard it on the radio, or in a record store listening booth, what - once, twice? Yet forty years later, he remembered all the verses, as well as the refrain, which goes, I don’t want no other baby but you….I don’t want no other baby but you…

This kind of memory is certainly possible. And from what I've seen of McCartney - he has a vast repertoire of songs he knows (not just his own) - it seems almost certain that he has this talent. I suspect it's actually a relatively common ability though. I have family members who can remember both the tune and the lyrics of songs after 1 or 2 listens through. This just isn't so noticeable because they're not musicians.

In general, I find what people find easy to remember a fascinating topic. my personal ability to remember song lyrics (and in general auditory information) is awful - I actually can't remember the entire lyrics to single song. I'm sure I could memorise some if I really tried, but it would take me hours of conscious. effort. On the other hand I often recall visual or written information from a single glance, and am very good at book learning and retaining an understanding of system and concepts.
Not at all. For desktop use you can stay on Testing or Unstable which are just as up to date as any rolling distribution.
Yeah, that's not true.

Apple doesn't stop anyone from running ads. They stop companies from collecting and aggregating data across multiple apps without explicit user consent.
Hello, I'd be interested to learn more about the back end software developer opening in your post.. do you have an email contact to reach you at? Thanks
Humans need room–temperature nitrogen, not nitrogen plasma. You would rapidly make the atmosphere inside your bubble unlivable. There are few easy solutions here.
Jeff, if you're reading this, your website is pretty much unreadable without the reader view in Firefox. It's not just the tiny font which is solved by zooming, it's the combination of font choice and white text on black background.
Was it mandatory though? I took a Control Theory class for my Electrical and Computer Engineering undergrad degree in the US. But it was a senior/graduate-level elective and not required to graduate.

Minor aside, the class was the best of all my electives. I picked it based on advice from a friend who said "choose your electives based on the professor, not the material." One of those bits of advice I wish I'd absorbed (I'm sure I'd been told) earlier in my school career.
What’s stopping them from doing the same with your unencrypted photos in iCloud?

From a technical standpoint, at least you are protected from future policy changes if your files in the cloud are encrypted.

Understand, I am playing the devils advocate role more than anything else.
Prevent them from logging into your network. (You own your network)

You own the device. Whatever you do with it is up to you. (Despite their whining about how "you only own a license to posses the device")
I wonder what Broadcom's endgame is. They appear to be selling the SoC very cheap to the foundation. I thought maybe this is to encourage other customers to buy that same SoC at a higher price but it appears they don't sell it. If there's no path for Broadcom to make reasonable margins then of course they have no incentive to increase production.
From this I gather the reason is quite simple: air conditioning.
I think this is partly a story of retiring without having enough in your life to replace work. I understand how that's possible, as full days of work leave me not wanting to do much in the evenings (I don't have kids, so I can't imagine where parents find the energy) - that said, it's probably important for your mental health post-retirement to find things outside of work to engage in well before your retirement date comes.
Traditional jobs are often referred to as honest work for good reason.
It's interesting they include things such as all suicides as pregnancy related death, though. If someone commits suicide 11 months after the kid is born there's no guarantees the reason was the pregnancy or the kid. It's possible but we can't really say that must be it.
Working in a warehouse for 6 weeks is gruelling, and from the interview it sounds like he got a taste of that experience, but I think there's a marked difference between working for the novelty of it and working because you're living paycheck to paycheck.

Saying that though I think he's right in the sense that having experience of working in an environment like that does give you the appreciation for the relative comforts of a tech job.

I've worked retail jobs when younger, and sitting on your butt all day writing code is way easier...
So much of what is described matches perfectly my experience with having ADHD. It’s less about having an insanely good memory and more about being able to find connections where others don’t normally see them, completely subconsciously.

Plus the “homework while doing TV and remembering both perfectly,” etc.

I would bet many dollars Paul McCartney has ADHD. :)
So does my bank?
My mother was a doctor that spent a great deal of time with expectant mothers. Based on her limited but also extensive experience on the subject drug use by the mother caused a significant portion of the mortality in unborn fetuses. This was particularly seen higher in the minority population (Black, Native American, etc.) and she is frustrated when she sees all the statistics that racism is the only reason behind the minority fetal mortality rate being higher than for Caucasians. They don't ever account for decision making in those studies and even in this study I'm sure drug use is considered a "preventable condition".
> my hypothesis is that this fact relates to these mental health conditions.

how though. Mothers go down the path of abusing substances because they know they wont paid get days off at work?

> The officials also had tried to placate the students by offering to review their grades and allowing them to withdraw from the class retroactively. The chemistry department’s chairman, Mark E. Tuckerman, said the unusual offer to withdraw was a “one-time exception granted to students by the dean of the college.”

I find that one interesting. You'd normally not be allowed to retry a class you scored badly in? Or what's the purpose of retroactively withdrawing?
Maybe it's a symptom and not the actual underlying cause. You went through all the trouble to put into writing your need for structure so it's off the table that your problem is that "you aren't trying to implement structure in your life."

What else could it be?
By ditching all of them and using a plain directory of Markdown notes edited with vim.
I was going to ask this as well; I'm thinking about setting up a pihole but not sure what to buy for it.
I've seen really stupid things done whenever there are multiple accounts. Very few developers know how to assume a role properly. This leads to assume-role permissions that are too permissive to make things work.
>Before Sony stripped Linux from the PS3, they were being used to build super computers. Heck, my undergrad program tried getting on that hype train and we got two PS3s running YellowDog linux and were starting to put together a grant proposal for a small compute cluster when Sony broke the news.

The PS3 was built on very exotic hardware, PS5 is just a regular x86 computer.

Playing with Linux on a PS3 at least had a bit of a novelty factor, with PS5 there’s none.

Did those PS3 supercomputers end up being a good investment? Probably not.

> If you've ever used Kodi, it started as the "XBox Media Center" project. So Kodi would probably not be what it is today without people jailbreaking the OG XBox so they could use it for a media "PC".

The market has moved long past that. The OG Xbox had something to offer that you couldn’t easily get elsewhere, that’s not the case anymore.

> People are still playing Quake Arena, Doom, and other og XBox games on real hw

A handful of hardcore enthusiasts.
Nothing. And since it's uploaded, I've agreed that it's OK for them to scan and report on them.

The key point I'm trying to make is that where the data is located matters for whether Apple (or Microsoft or Redhat or whichever company) has the ability or right to read and report on that data.

> at least you are protected from future policy changes if your files in the cloud are encrypted.

If, and only if, that data is never synced back to your phone (which Apples does currently).
Amazon's medical coverage is no UPS but it is extremely competitive against plans that union members try to tout as better. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26753455 as an old discussion where the thread creator thinks their plan is a lot better "due to unions" but it's actually a lot worse.
Apple doesn't need invasive statistical fingerprinting, they already have your unique ID, unchangeable device serial numbers and apple ID account. An iOS device cannot install any app without an apple ID, and nowadays you need a phone number to create an apple ID which is pretty much the supercookie identifier in most of the world.

You can see a lot of the tracking and correlating that apple does within their own legal documents, which I commend them for at least writing them out clearly : https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin...

Apple also uploads a lot of logs, etc from their devices to their servers, and opting out of apple level tracking at some basic level is often just not an option. Ex, they upload battery behavior info and use it to improve the battery perf of their devices, or upload people's locations and other location adjacent data like wifi networks with location services and so on.

Apple cares about privacy from third parties, not privacy from apple itself. Which is very apple of apple. Apple also does not let you turn it off in some key parts. And they know they work with security services & authoritarian governments that force them to hand over any data that they have access to, in secret, which gets thousands of innocent people killed, tortured and jailed every day at their scale. Yet they still collect it.

Key parts of apple doesn't really like the existence of third parties in many ways, and if they could, they would rather have full locked down control, from what I can observe from external actions over the decades.

Any large group of people will of course have different actions and motives, and I do commend part of the company for caring, and funding efforts like lockdown mode and keeping %95 of the company thinking and caring about privacy at some level. But that key %5 that does not basically ruins it for many. The best we can hope for is to slowly change that last %5, although with this Services & Ads push, I feel like that bad part is only going to grow worse.
the modwave too.
Reminder: The pre-industrial baseline is 300 deaths per 100k births. Modern medicine is able to prevent 97% of maternal deaths. Be thankful for that and don't be bitter that its not 100% yet.
Of course it matters: (1) at the macro level, fraud is a tax on the whole ecosystem that ultimately yields higher prices for consumers and (2) at the micro level, relatively better ad efficiency (less fraud) can drive business competitiveness (or even viability, in extreme cases).
Thanks, yeah ok, it hadn't occurred to me that cons-stream has to be a macro. I also remember the book also explaining how force and delay work in terms of wrapping and later evaluating a lambda, but don't remember if it explained that delay has to be a macro too. I guess the Common Lisp approach to macro hygiene is using gensyms for temporaries, but Schemers saw that as too ugly. I wonder how Clojure does it. I'm not that big on Scheme or Lisp these days anyway though.
While you’re generally correct, there is a procedural reason why the Section 230 issue comes up first. Section 230(c)(1) is a cut and dry immunity. It says: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

If the provider meets the requirements of section 230, then there is no lawsuit, period. By contrast, the 1A analysis is fact-specific. “Kill all infidels” is protected, but “kill @throwaway81523 when he walks home from work on Tuesday at 6:30 pm” probably isn’t.

In a lawsuit cut and dry immunities can be addressed at the motion to dismiss stage. More fact specific inquiries often can’t be decided until later, on summary judgment.
TIL! But my partner has heard it used in the UK like "I'm lousy with options" as in, I'm overflowing with choice. That was a fun convo as I was like ... What??
Actually upgrading your Support plan is one of the very, very few things you still need to break into the root of each account to do. However, if you’re big enough you just sign an EDP contract that forces all your accounts onto Enterprise Support anyway.
I remember years ago when I was studying various aspects of the health insurance market, there was one thing that really, truly alarmed me: the amount of Medicaid money spent on pregnancy-related care. It was shocking to me. Pregnant women who don't see their doctors regularly end up costing the system an absolute fortune. It is a sad plague among many of the poor who have lots of problems themselves, a big one being drug addiction. This is an extremely uncomfortable for many that they don't want to deal with, so they ignore or make excuses or deny, but it's a really sad reality. I've basically come to the conclusion that 95% of the problems in this country can be traced back to people who have no business having kids, having kids.
I feel really conflicted on this one.

This guy appears to be damaging peoples lives for a questionable at best cause.

On the other hand, if these are the same tests students had been passing for the rest of their career, maybe the answer is suck it up and try harder.

It seems like the real failure was firing over this when other actions seem more apropriate
To estimate is not the same as to commit
Almost everyone "smart" has a really good memory. Turns out it's a lot easier to think of things when you have everything in RAM instead of tape storage.
I think you might be in dark mode and Jeff doesn't use it. It is perfectly readable to me but it is black text on a white background.
I see black text on white background in Firefox (and Chrome) here. So this might be a problem on your side? But otherwise, yes the font is way to small.

Oh 100% they collect and track user metrics, but I do think they abide by the answer you give when any Apple device asks you if you want to send metrics to the mothership at setup.

It's also a matter of how well the data is anonymized. Given they've gone through the trouble of adding private email proxy features, secure web proxy features, and lockdown mode, I don't think it's lip service, but that's just my opinion.
You're incorrect on point 2. In many communities, schizoid/schizo does refer in a derogatory/shorthand manner to schizophrenia and many more people are familiar with schizophrenia than schizoid disorder, so that is more likely to be the immediate assumption.
But keep in mind this:

> Upon examination, however, the discrepancy between the U.S. and other countries appears largely due to country-to-country differences in the way infant mortality statistics are compiled. Infant mortality is defined differently in different countries, and the U.S. definition is notably broader than that of most other countries.

My first born, now about 5, was born while I was aggressively chasing promotions in a tech company. During her first year I mostly saw her to put her to bed at night and on the weekends.

This time around I’m a full time indie hacker and I see my son for hours every day. He’s six months old now. I’m insanely fortunate to have a profitable and growing business, but I’ve come to believe that everybody should be able to have months with their children without losing their house, insurance, etc.

It may seem crazy but 100 years ago a 40 hour work week seemed crazy to many.
Hypothetically: if an audience is paying for your digital content or paying to support you on Patreon, they could instead pay for your content through crypto - if they are so willing and have it at their disposal. Aside from the lower fees you’d also be your own payment processor - more resistant to censorship, less platform lock-in, ability to self-host your content.

Same applies to selling digital assets on Bandcamp or running a Kickstarter campaign.

If your audience is unwilling to pay for your content or support you financially, and unwilling to pay a platform fee like with Netflix, then you might be stuck with monetizing through ads.
Hasn't it always been rare for developers to maintain distro specific packages? That's why distro's have package maintainers, they also modify the layout and default configurations and whatnot to be consistent with the rest of the distro.
What makes a medical error "preventable"?
I agree absolutely. One of these people can stop whenever the experience stops being fun and the other has few other options. It's about as inspiring as poverty tourism or an episode of Undercover Boss.
Something like a Dell thin client or what they call a Micro Form Factor could do the job. I got a couple of the micros to play around with and they're nice machines that sip power. I prefer them to rpi's now and with the pricing/availability issues of the pi's, they're price competitive used on ebay. I'm thinking there are a lot of offices that went remote and are unloading their desktops these days.
Iranian security forces beat, shot and detained students of university in Tehran
Some kind of weird browser configuration? I see black font on white background...
That does not make an argument.
Thank you..That clarifies my doubt.

So no point staying in US and wait for green card for decades.
The funny thing being, I much get the vibes of a nowadays senior programmers meeting a veteran programmer from the last century. (Maybe, he's avoiding meetings to not show off his grey beard? :-) )

Planned studies: Learning more about attacking WiFi and Bluetooth stacks.
The documentary spends a lot of time interviewing their head of R&D who is described as the 'mad professor', he talks extensively about the problem of the tin exploding onto the mirror and how he encountered that problem etc, so presumably he should count as someone doing R&D for real.
The talk page, and Quillette article, are proof that Wiki entries needs to contain the discredited sources too, and the properly sourced criticisms of them of course, rather than simply deleting them.

Wiki rules are tools to build better content, not absolutes we must die on. If 90% of readers of an entry find it lacking or untrustworthy because it doesn't mention well-known studies or even fields of endeavor then it's not a useful article.

> despite what a number of skull-measuring right-wingers would like you to believe

Do you believe that acceptance of the theory that genes impact IQ is split along communist/non-communist lines? That communists are less likely than average to believe this? These broad statements and the identities around them are the partisanship behind much of the politically-motivated editing going on in Wiki now.
It depends. Sometimes you don't know that a solution exists for your problem.
Ask HN: Does your company sway from the roadmap?
How strict is your company to their roadmap? I am on a team that has a year plus roadmap but the second a shiny "enterprise" prospect comes in its all hands on deck. Curious if you experience this in your day to day?
interesting that he's so programmed to work that just relaxing for a bit made him depressed. hard to see how working 11 hours a day is going to make it easier for him to still not have to put his kids on the calendar.

on a side note, i wonder if the actual therapy was just doing something physical. sitting down not moving for hours and hours is not what we were built to do. i always found working out, brazilian jiu jitsu, hiking, anything physical to be very therapeutic if i've been inside an office all day.
Lucky us we don't have of those neighbors, and basically cannot get them. No HOAs or similar shenenigans were we live, even the city leaves large patches in parks unmowed until automn in some places.
Publishers Lose Their Shit After Authors Push Back on Their Attack on Libraries
Apache itself is eminently manageable on its own; IMO the real issue is how insanely over-complicated and opinionated every distribution makes their configuration.

I tend to discard any given distribution's default configuration for a more simplistic one where httpd.conf is the source of truth. This is very simple for 90% of my use cases, and for the other 10% I can adopt of a "modules-enabled, sites-enabled, conf-enabled, kitchen-sink-enabled" type approach.
I have kids, and if I count their bedtime process as chores an hour or two isn't a particularly heavy evening.
