Nobody is saying the fact we have incarceration rate is a different “topic “, we will not reform immigration policy to mitigate that.

These are real problems for real people , it doesn’t matter it is different topic, As a country we fail immigrants who come here
It is absolutely insane.

If the bank lends me money and I lose it, they expect to be paid back.

But if I lend them money, and they lose it, this is...my fault?
1 tons of river rock, 1800 sqft of mulch, and 2 pallets of sod were never delivered or installed/spread. 2 of the 5 trees were completely cut down and cut into pieces but not removed. Stumps were not ground down on the two trees that were taken down. Some of the branches were removed from the other trees and just left there. As soon as it hit 5pm the team gathered their tools and left. I was on the hook for clean up.

I think "description" is more apt than "definition", however still both are different from "distinction". What I mean is, a distinction (by definition) draws a boundary between "that" and "not-that", but descriptions don't need to do that, they are merely conceptual framings that can be applied to whatever is relevant.
The three big decisions:

- What you do
- Where you live
- Who you marry

I did pretty good on 2/3. Third one, not so much, although I think that was more me than her.

What I would change is convince my ex wife (when were still dating) that we should get married after university, not before.
I used to dislike Gladwell but I've come to have a grudging respect for him. He took an old 7 word phrase "the straw that broke the camel's back" and turned it into a full length book called "The Tipping Point." People wanted to buy it because they liked exploring this idea in more depth and Gladwell made a bunch of money while becoming famous. It's hard to argue with success like that. I would never have thought that "the straw that broke the camel's back" needed further elaboration.
Something I recently became aware of is that in some cases toilet paper orientation preference may be due to left handedness vs right handedness.

I am right handed and prefer to have the paper oriented over itself.

A member of my family is left handed and prefers to have the paper under itself. She once said that for her, with left handedness, having the paper under itself makes it easier to grab.

IMO the cheapening of technology has made a difference with this. When my (then not yet) ex-wife was burglarized, Just her laptop and a camera gave the criminal 900$ at a pawn shop [0].

[0] - which BTW, fun thing about this, if your insurance covers 'replacement cost' you are better off not finding your items at a pawn shop. Most state laws are written such that as long as the pawn shop collects fingerprints/ID, the person who was stolen from can get their items back, but must pay the pawn shop back what they paid the thief for it. Insurance will happily pay that instead but still take your deductible out. (It worked out OK for me, the wedding ring was among the stolen items, never got pawned and that covered the deductible and then some... eventually helped pay for the lawyer lol)
Lack of editors has been a common problem for decades, especially visible as authors get famous.
they actually got a cron job that scans the hn api for posts like this, which automatically replies "hi this is edwin from stripe here" + some human relatable reason generated thru machine learning.

edwin is not a human, he's a super ai developed in stripe skunk works division.
> Still cheaper than prisons.

Only if you don't value human life. People die in these cities' drug camps. Tens of thousands per year.

But the problem is overstated because these don't need to be expensive supermax prisons. More like a chainlink fence and ankle-bracelets for everyone.

We can't afford to not incarcerate junkies because of the harms to the cities, their residents, and the junkies themselves.
This reminds me of the classic TCP vs UDP joke

People are annoyed. It is almost impossible to have a discussion about learning, without someone proselytising about Zettelkasten. Similarly, a few years ago it was almost impossible to have a discussion about intelligence, without someone proselytising about Dual N-Back. So, hopefully, this fashion too shall pass.

Saying that notes are completely useless is just stupid contrarianism, clickbait. But it is true that making and maintaining one's notes can be a form of procrastination. On the other hand, if you write too many notes, it can become difficult to find what you are looking for. There are different applications for note-making, each coming with different advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right one... again, is important, but also can be a form of procrastination.

Things become even more difficult in an organization, where note-taking is a part of your job, and you have to cooperate with other people. And just like bad programmers generate spaghetti code, bad writers generate... spaghetti wikis? A large organization can have literally million Confluence pages, with tons of duplicated content, with no one removing the obsolete content, so when you search for e.g. "how to configure proxy", you get dozens of answers, most of them containing information that was correct five or ten years ago, but it no longer true.

Shortly, this entire topic is quite frustrating, at least for me. There is a problem. There is no obviously right solution. There are people promoting their favorite solutions, which often do not work for you. But at the end of the day you need to choose something. If you start making notes and change your mind ten years later, it can be quite a lot of work to convert your notes to the new format. (I just keep my old notes as read-only, and started making new notes in the new system.) Frustration makes people express strong opinions.
You can'd directly disable ACH, though if you only have a savigns account it may help.

But ACH has much more defenses against someone pulling money than Zelle and friends do.
Respectfully disagree.

At the very least from what I recall there are sections of songs and poems which made my eyes glaze over and just skip.

I think one of the best things the LotR films did was to distill the story down into its best parts. The hobbit kinda did the opposite which is why they were, as enjoyable films, comparative failures.
I am dealing with the exact opposite problem: "Oh you mean, we should leave the EC2 instance running 24/7??? No way, that would be too expensive"... to which I need to respond "No, it would be like $15/month. Trivial, stop worrying about costs in EC2 and S3, we're like 7 people here with 3 GB of data."

I deal with Scientists that think AWS is some sort of a massively expensive enterprise thing. I can be, but not for the use case they're going to be embarking on. Our budget is $7M spanning 4 years.
Your last point is so wrong I don’t know where to start.

I don’t like carrying god knows how many pounds of weight on my shoulders with two cameras, 3 lenses, and often two speedlights on me all day. I also bring two Pelican cases of lighting equipment, a camera bag full of batteries and lenses, and an “oh shit” bad with backup cameras and lenses. That’s what I need to do a good job in any condition.

Phone camera photos look good on your phone. If you have absolutely perfect lighting they may even look good blown up to a somewhat reasonable size. Good luck getting anything useful in a dim church, on the dance floor, etc.

It’s pretty often that a mom comes along to a senior photography shoot and takes photos with their phone of me at work and then sends them to me. The quality is utterly laughable compared to what I’m capturing at the time when actually viewed on something that’s more than 6 inches diagonal.

Photographers might make silly YouTube videos trying to get clicks where they use phones on a pro shoot but that’s where it ends.

Going off [1] and [2], it seems like she was definitely a lone writer but it also sounds like a lot of them were 75-100 pages - "[in 1962, Bruguera] offered her a contract to deliver a 76-page novel every week. This she did until Bruguera's collapse in 1985" which makes 23 years of 52 novels or about 1200.

I'd recommend shooting in ProRaw and then using Affinity/Darkroom/Pixelmator-Photo to edit it.

Photos shot in ProRaw still display the opinionated high-clarity [1] version in the photos app. Only editing in a third-party app will override that.

Unlike Raw, ProRaw will still do much of the good (IMO) processing, while allowing you to avoid Apples color-grading.

[1] I believe clarity, not sharpness, is the reason why iPhone 13 photos look so bad. It clears up parts of the image that are supposed to be foggy, thus removing an important depth queue and making the image look flat.

In the following examples, notice how minor details are blown out, making the image almost look like a mosaic.

Regarding the backup email account suggestion specifically, see my other comment in this thread. That's not actually possible apparently for Google accounts set up with non-Google email addresses as the primary email address, for some reason best known only to Google. For those accounts, Google also sets your primary email as the backup email, which doesn't really make sense if you think about it. To cap it all, there is no option to use that email for actually recovering the account, so even calling it a recovery email is deceptive.
Is it still single-threaded and the UI chokes when doing a blocking operation like moving a large torrent to a different hard drive? I didn't find any mention of parallel/threads/concurrent in the release notes.

I've been torrenting since the early 2000s and using torrent clients on Mac and Linux for over ten years, and there have been various issues in both Transmission and qBittorrent for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure if rTorrent is better, but lots of people seem to like it.

QBT has a tendency to break on upgrades and then it tries to rename files and do re-checks and all sorts of messy stuff - maybe due to my configuration since I have "append !qB" to incomplete files - but I personally don't think a client should ever rename a file from 'video.mp4' -> 'video.mp4.!qB' unless the checking is complete and it has already determined the file needs to be partially re-downloaded. Also, checking torrents is basically a broken feature since v4.4 - according to a bunch of people on the internet. I'm on the latest version, but going back to a working version could be a nightmare with hundreds of torrents on multiple hard-drives.

I used to use Transmission exclusively but pretty much stopped using it because of the single-threaded limitation. Also, Transmission on linux didn't support categories or labels like the Mac GUI version did, which I required for organization.

I'm not sure how much goes into a Torrent client, though I did read [madreyels]<https://mandreyel.github.io/posts/rust-bittorrent-engine/> post on writing a bittorrent engine in Rust. I'm not saying rust is the answer, but I would welcome a new and improved bittorrent client meeting my requirements in any language if it works better than the existing options.

Oof, Wheel of Time really drags in the middle there! I almost threw in the towel several times. Fortunately, though, when Brandon takes over the pacing really picks up and it does have a satisfying conclusion!

That was my introduction to Brandon Sanderson as well, and since then I've now read the original Mistborn trilogy and what's published so far of Stormlight Archive. If you've made it through 5 books of Wheel of Time - whether or not you finish it - I think you might appreciate those.
read about pricing strategies by other founders and startups, maybe your free tier is too generous there isnt much need for them to convert in the first place.

I have an Amex Platinum card and the few times I've disputed a charge they've usually found in favor of the merchant (particularly if the merchant is a large company).

The one notable time they actually found in my favor and refunded me was a recurring charge I'd repeatedly tried to cancel with the merchant and eventually I threatened to close my account with Amex.

"Oh, really? Alright, I want to close my account."

"Oh, hold on sir, let me try again..."

> This was way before AWS was thing and was an edict for Amazon Retail

Yes, you are telling me the point I was making. Product-izing your microservices is a justification for microservices.

> 5. All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions.

That is the property that makes microservices make sense. Without that property, technical leadership is setting themselves up for failure.

> Your information about Twitters current architecture is way out of date.

The only point I was making about twitter architecture, of which I know far too little about, was that as you stated previously "Every indication is that the code base was horrible" leads to loss of momentum and inability to innovate, so it's not surprising their growth stagnated for, what I believe, are primarily technical reasons. It doesn't matter if they got better if they went through a period which stopped momentum.

> That’s not the point. The point is that new internal initiative starts from a blank slate at any large tech company. There is already infrastructure in place to build on top of even when that underlying infrastructure isn’t publicly available.

The point I'm attempting to make is that if underlying infrastructure is poor, that's not a fertile ground to grow new product so innovation becomes stifled because resistance to new functionality is too high. If maintenance costs are too high resources must be spent maintaining rather than innovating. I've seen developers stumble around for a week because they put `30` instead of `10` in a config file. I've watched an entire team waste months of effort because production was not advanced enough for what they wanted to do. I've watched an entire engineering organization lose hours every day to a poor dev environment. Time was spent fighting infrastructure, not creating features, so it's not surprising when new products and features weren't created and growth didn't meet expectations.

> google stuff...

We have different definitions for failure. You said google wasn't able to develop products. Google is clearly able to develop new products/services, maybe not monetarily successful ones, but google as as a company has a disproportionate effect on my life and how my life works past showing me some ads.
That would be a woeful misunderstanding of what I wrote.

Money can only entice established talent.

Money can not find future talent in the pool of applicant -merely- by throwing money at them. To find talent, to discover talent, to nurture talent, takes much more than just mere money.
> If there’s no hyperlink, it’s lost

This just isn't true. Most wikipedia references have a hyperlink and a proper citation which can be looked up using traditional means. For example, a cite might look like this:

"Intel Pentium Processor G6950 (3M Cache, 2.80 GHz) with SPEC Code(s) SLBMS". Ark.intel.com. 2010-07-13. Archived from the original on 2011-03-09. Retrieved 2010-07-29.

The link to intel.com has rotted, but:

1) There's an archive of the page so the information hasn't been lost

2) There's also a full citation, with which you can write a letter to Intel asking them for the document in question ("Intel Pentium Processor G6950 (3M Cache, 2.80 GHz) with SPEC Code(s) SLBMS"). This is a lot more detail than you'd have in a traditional encyclopedia. If you're a researcher, the encyclopedia has given what you need to seek more detail from the primary source - and that's the whole point!

archive.org and wikipedia.org working together is really powerful.

It gets back to what does the team value. If you can get the team to agree on what the core values are, it will help them take their eyes off the trees and focus on the forest. You'll need to meet with them apart from whatever scrum processes are going on.

Once the team values are more aligned, the retrospectives can start to be fruitful. At the retrospective, pick one or two items that seem misaligned with the values. Try to have longer term (at least a quarter) view, with incremental progress.

YMMV. I ended up leaving a team that functioned the way you describe. I'm sure your team is driving people away. At another team, I was able to take the approach above and the team became must better over 2 years.
Appreciate the feedback, it is helpful! The relevance tuning is a continuous work in progress.
I still have the Pentium box I used to run it on. Was that really 20+ years ago? How did that happen... I should boot it up and see how well frogfind.com works.
You may be surprised, but in the 1920s there was a border between "Green Ukraine" (Ukrainian colonies) and Karafuto Prefecture (external territory of Japan) in the middle of Sakhalin Island.[0,1,2]

I actually sent a payment via Zelle yesterday and saw something new. This was a small payment to a family member that I send payments to regularly for some work they're doing for me. When I was choosing the recipient, it said something like "Money transfers that happen in seconds," implying they'd have the money almost instantly (and that does appear to have been the case in the past). After completing the transfer, it had a note below the resulting screen that said, "This transfer will take 1-3 days to complete." It did complete the next day, but it was the first time I've seen this sort of thing happen. I wonder if it was due to some new security check or something else? Anyone else see anything like this?
They are mostly developing an internal admin system meant for business operators. This system has the Lawsuit as its main entity. They spent two months to make a buggy screen that would aggregate several lawsuits into a single Deal (a new entity). This is an Angular + .NET project.

They need more training and there is a lot of tech debt that's slowing them down, but how am I supposed to tackle tech debt without speeding up their processes first? Genuine doubt in my mind :)
You need to develop a market for things of course. There are plenty of things worth $500/day in everyone's house. Figure out where things sell and for how much. 50 keys toys for $10 each are easy to sell in most cities. The days of taking a 19 inch color TV are long gone (most of your are not old enough to remember when a 19 inch color TV was a big deal, but back then there was a market for them used), but there is plenty of other opportunities.

This needs to be a full time job to make the $500/day though. Some houses are as you say now worth the bother, but others have things that can be sold. The key is you need to know what you can sell and for how much before you take it.

As the other poster said, the hard part is not getting caught. The easy places to sell these things (pawn shops, scrap yards) tend to ask for id - and the ones that accept a fake id will only take so much before they have to recognize you.
>This is truly a brave and principled stance taken by the government of Ukraine.

It's impossible for us to comprehend the mindset or clarity of purpose that such a situation brings. Many of our grandparents knew it, and we called them the Greatest Generation because of it.

Zelensky's (and really, all Ukranians) story over these last 8 months has really been the quintessence of self actualization. I suspect we'll be taking notes for decades to come.
Can you give examples of misleading articles? Are they political or nonpolitical?
That price is squarely in the realm of other popular similar products like Squarespace. Most likely not targeted at people who have the skills and time to figure out how to self-host.
Contrary to the way matrix is developed and sold today, the protocol allows for way way more than chat.

There is talk at the moment about adding federation to got forges: let instances talk together, accounts cross post, etc. It's centered around instances and they have specific addons to interact. Matrix can make it work because it takes a radically orthogonal approach: rooms are front and center. Rooms can be joined by anyone anywhere. Rooms are replicated. The homeserver is a technical detail in service of the functional source of truth: the Room, an append-only log of arbitrary json. There is also a key-value store for arbitrary blobs to store binary stuff.

In the context of forges, a repo can be a room: events for issues/replies, events for merge requests, events for CI/CD blobs for actual code storage and releases, ... Anyone can join and push events, with the correct rights of course, so you have branches included. Everything is replicated. No one cares what instance you are from.

I seriously invite you to consider the semantically model of Matrix, it's pretty good.
