any sexism inherently has a counter-effect on the opposite sex. e.g women being viewed as homemakers and not being taken seriously in professional environments has the counter-effect that men are hoisted with the responsibility of making a living and creating a successful career and are judged more harshly for failing to do that.

men and women both have issues caused by sexism and it's okay to acknowledge both. I only think it's taken too far sometimes when either sex acts like they are the only ones with problems. Also, lets just be honest here, women have it worse as the ROOT of all these dual-edged sexist beliefs stems from a tendency to not view women as REAL people. Some cultures are worse than others with this but I'd argue that pretty much EVERY culture still has certain views on women that, consciously or not, restrict their personal freedom. There are certain benefits to this(e.g being judged less harshly in court, people being more likely to treat you nicely, do favors, etc) but all of those "benefits" are the result of others not viewing the woman in question as a full, independent person who is capable of making their own decisions and forming their own thoughts/beliefs outside the context of being a woman

Maybe too big is a national security issue, too.

Too big to fail is a real problem for any part of our economy.
The question I always ask to figure out how things work: What happens if I lose my phone?

Vendors trying to peddle a solution will always try to answer this question in a way that doesn't say "well in that case you're screwed" and any answer except "you're screwed" means there is some kind of potentially-vulnerable recovery process, and the description of how the process works usually gives you an idea of how secure it is (or at least a starting point to ask more questions).
exactly, if mario had stereo vision, it'd have to be his eyes were on top of each other.. And just like how 3D games projected onto a 2D monitor are not much different from their VR counterparts, a 2D game projected into stereo 1D wouldn't be much more interesting either..

I thought about it, how our eyes are placed on the sides, probably because we're very earth-bound, and horizon lies that way and such.. It'd be really interesting if we had an additional third eye on our forehead, it'd give us a bit more detailed depth perception, but I don't think it'd be that much more useful.
I have no idea what you mean by ballot stub, and no idea if that means that you are eliminating the secret ballot. It sounds like you want everyone to have a receipt tied to their vote, which doesn't even sound helpful.

And I have no idea in what way your system differs from the status quo in the US. Most states use paper receipts and those were recounted. All that stuff about "bamboo fibers" was because of the paper ballots.
This blog post[0] explains it pretty well: "Fewer and fewer computer users think their computer is too slow." And therefore they only buy new computer if the current one breaks. "This happens less and less often. Even most disk drives, which are about the most mechanical part of a computer system, come with at least a 3 year warranty."

"It means that computer purchasing decisions are no longer made based on price/performance or just performance, like in the dark ages. Now, when somebody decides to buy a new computer it will be price alone, or maybe price and service, that determines which computer to buy."

> insist that the store needs to negotiate via the union, while simultaneously refusing to engage with the union

American unions are adversarial to management. I don’t see why one has an obligation to negotiate with an adversary.
Let me rewrite 'equating women with "nurturing" characteristics' into "women are more caring than men". Or alternatively "men are less caring than women". Do you see the problem now?

I would say you are adding information that wasn't stated, and you are also missing the important part of the issue. Which is types of issues that result from stances like "women are nurturing".

Such as removing woman from consideration from management positions because you feel that their "nurturing" nature would make them unable to make decisions like firing people or taking a stance that is unpopular with their subordinates.

And honestly, I'm going to be blunt here. I feel like people are reacting defensively to the surface level words rather than what the words actually mean.
i cant begin to tell you how pissed off i am about the name of kafka used for a software project. is it just me?
Based on what little privacy research we have, between Apple and Google, neither is privacy-friendly, but at least Apple is more so than Google.

That is to say, I don’t see why one would move when the alternative is worse.
That "unless" clause at the end of your comment is precisely the point though. Just because you don't want to support most of the things that WMF are doing doesn't mean that others don't want to. If a majority of donors earmark their donations, then they will collectively have rebuked the foundation. If a majority of donors don't earmark their donations, then they will have collectively approved of the foundation's actions.
I remember 10 years when I get interested in building a computer and the general consensus was that AMDs bulldozer debacle had them on life support.

Intel's dominance was practically guaranteed for five years, I knew Zen was going to be successful but I was surprised to see that they've successfully flipped the script and Intel is in a bind.
Precisely! So just give me an option to export my stuff to a password-protected archive. Make me check a "yes I'm fully aware that this means I am now responsible for the security of this information" if you want. But Signal doesn't let me do this.
So, it seems they're shooting themselves in the foot

How does this work with the recent passing of the CHIPS Act? Aren't they supposed to be expanding their workforce?
The attorney general is a political appointee of the executive branch. So... we've seen that doesn't work.

The executive branch is WAY too powerful, mostly as a result of Congress ceding its authority over the decades to avoid accountability. Separation of powers is clearly broken as a result.
In my perfect world we would decouple content libraries from the technologies, services, interfaces, etc. that go into serving the content. The former is largely a curation and legal-rights negotiation task. The latter is a technical and interface design task. It kind of sucks that we're held hostage to bad UX or technology to access good content or vice versa. It's definitely not a great situation for the consumer and is a classic case of market failure owing to the (albeit limited) monopoly powers of the rights holders.
100%. It's worth considering that some of these people laid off may consider working for authoritarian governments if they were well compensated (or are ideologically aligned), and that's a huge national security risk too. Hope they aren't dumb enough to lay off engineers with important knowledge. Please tell me that US representatives have already met with Intel on this.
While that's absolutely true, I'd be totally fine with what an LSP _does_ offer. Auto imports, go to definition, list usages, etc. I don't need the heavy refactoring tools.
The problem is, that jetbrains runs under xwayland. This means under the hood it still runs under xorg. On 4k monitors you probably want to scale your GUI and thats where the problems arise. It looks completely blurry and has a resolution of 1920x1080 but on a 4k monitor.
Eh, I think they always were; we're just finally being forced to pay them better attention.
If you mean the line doesn't have a single pixel width, this is what the website explains:

How is this 1D? The game is more than one pixel wide!

The game width can actually be adjusted, including to a width of one pixel. That's how I prefer to play, but other people had trouble seeing what was going on.

Regardless of how much you stretch it though, there is only one dimension of information, the horizontal smear is entirely redundant. Your computer's pixels have some amount of depth to them, but that doesn't mean the games you play on them have 3 dimensional viewports.
Point of fact, the Peter Principle affects any organization that promotes based on merit, it's orthogonal to the considerations you mention.

* People aren't good at everything.

* Jobs at different levels in the org hierarchy require different skills.

* If people are promoted based on skill/merit they eventually arrive at a role for which they are unsuited.

> The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.

> I'm not against Daft Punk. But, I can't stand to listen to very much rap after M.F. DOOM because it has all been infected by T-Pain.

Why is overt use of autotune a less valid artistic choice when T-Pain uses it than when Daft Punk uses it?

> Thriller sold 70 million copies, Bat out of Hell (somehow) sold 43 million copies. That's on a different order of magnitude than what seems possible today.

This is mostly due to the monumental changes in the sales model for music since those days. Sales suffered massively at the hands of iTunes and Spotify - there's little correlation with trends in the actual music.

> I think part of what makes music interesting to listen to is the subtle imperfections and nonidealities. I think MIDI and the click track are part of the same problem as autotune... "Snap to grid" and a lot of what makes music interesting is just gone.

There's nothing wrong with feeling that way, but I would be cautious of projecting your preferences onto the rest of the world. I think it's clear that many, many people enjoy music produced in this style.

After all, someone living a century before us could make the exact same arguments decrying recorded music in favor of live performances. Who wants to listen to the same thing over and over again? The subtle variations and imperfections between live performances are what gives music color - do away with them and all we have is a cold, mechanical, unfeeling facsimile of proper music.
Agreed.

There is a loneliness epidemic, and discarding people you encounter regularly is an ineffective way of dealing with it.

AMD also had alot of those major bugs, but it wasn't reported as much since the original papers all targeted intel CPU's since they are the "standard", and then a couple months later someone would do it for AMD but it was old news.

The company I work for has over 150k unionized employees and about 50k white collar workers. Including a massive amount of retail employees. The union negotiates on behalf of their employees this is nothing new. Not sure what Starbucks is doing but Apple is going to negotiate with them.
> Er, what? If the tab in a dock breaks, you need to get a new dock with either connector.

To be clear: iPhones do not have a tab, so iPhones don't break, the lightning cable does. iPads now have a tab. Hopefully it won't break.

A USB-C standing phone dock effectively has a tab on both dock (to insert into a phone's socket) and in the phone (the tab that sits inside the USB-C socket), so that's 2 tabs for one docking experience.
This env variable is already in my /etc/environment. This makes the jetbrains products at least usable, but my problem is the blurryness on my 4k monitors.
Live: Humanoid robot AI-Da speaks at House of Lords meeting
Umm... those are two completely different statements, not a Motte and Bailey fallacy. I am happy to defend my position that governments use force the same way mobs do, but they give you more of a say in how the force can be used and they give you some written protections (that they are happy to infringe when convenient).

Also, I never said that we would be better off with a despot or a gang or anything of the sort, as the original reply tried to claim.
Unions are good for lazy employees because it makes them harder to fire. Theyre bad for the hard workers because they have to work even harder to make up for the lazy workers that arent fired. As someone who works hard I definitely would never want a union.
Minimising tax is legal. New report accuses Microsoft of doing it on grand scale
yeah but it's not a good reason to prop up or keep bloating non-competitive corporations. Bloating Intel is not likely to result in another tsmc.
Why not both? Even much smaller organizations tend to have low-impact teams that could be absorbed by others and their work deprioritized. If you're going to fire a dozen managers then the implication (or at least possibility) exists that maybe even the bottom 20% of that group is assigned to low-priority projects and perhaps even under-performing.

Then 216 => 43 becomes 203 => 29

Now you've reduced the workforce by 10% and put some miserable projects entirely out of their misery at the same time!
AWS developed two generations of an in-house ARM chip (Graviton), which I think is cheaper for an equivalent power to an x86 instance. Cloudflare has also begun switching to ARM, for 57% more performance per watt:

Not to nitpick, but Doom was launched 29 years ago. And it was pretty good, not janky.

And by a strange twist of fate, the same John Carmack of Doom fame is working on Quest-related stuff today. I'm inclined to pooh-pooh Meta's VR efforts, but John Carmack is not a fool.
Ok well that was definitely not the case for my TA stipend.

A Review of EEG and fMRI Measuring Aesthetic Processing in Visual UX Research
Ask HN: What device do you use to read PDFs (papers and eBooks)?
I normally use a Kobo with Calibre to read eBooks.

But every once in a while, an eBook only exists in PDF and the PDF -> Kobo ePub conversion doesn't usually go well.

I have an old Nexus 7 tablet from 2013 that I have used for that purpose, but the backlit LCD screen is too bright even at lower brightness to comfortably read after dark.

I know of the ReMarkable, but they're very expensive and it's hard to justify the cost as most of my reading is ePub.

Is there a good alternative in terms of price, availability outside the US, and functionality that I have overlooked for that purpose?
Unfortunately no. It’s a very simple app that doesn’t get in the way. I tried using others that were bloated and it was hard to do simple things. I basically need to create multiple routines and have a timer between sets.
Dinosaur mummy show way for tissue preservation with out exceptional condition
Google One family subscriber here.

My wife was locked out of her Google account after breaking her phone (her only recently used authorized device, 2FA method, etc.). Our fault, we should have had backup 2FA methods (and now do).

We were able to get Google support on the phone, which was cool, but they weren't able to help at all. It's like they were reading the same support pages we were.

1. Everyone should have a Yubikey (or similar) 2FA method stored away from your phone and other devices.
2. Google support wasn't particularly useful for us.

Everyone should practice signing in to all the things using someone else's computer and without touching your phone. Just to make sure you could in a pinch.
> There's huge ads taking up 20% of the screen?

I don't do sports, but I do remember that sky sports was on in a pub I was in recently with a football game. I don't remember seeing any onscreen adverts (there was the score, the time left, a sky sports logo etc in the corner which seemed fairly unintrusive -- certainly the score and time left are an essential viewing when I do watch England in the finals)

Obviously there's also the adverts around the actual ground, and on the players shirts, most of which seem to be for betting (when I was a kid my grandad put a couple of quid on the pools each week, but this modern stuff seems quite the scourge)

Now at half time sure, they are dripping with adverts -- despite I believe sky sports costing somewhere in the order of £600 a year, and advertising raising just 10% of Sky's revenue from the last annual report I saw.

Were you paying a legitimate provider?
this is great - surprisingly good roasts coming from this AI.
What they say today about end-to-end encryption seems like it should work fine from a technical point of view. It is entirely possible the Google is very good about this, and when implemented, it might work perfectly as stated today.

But I'm not talking about incorrect or correct and I don't care about fairness in presuming whoever's intelligence either, because the thing I'm talking about is more important, which is risk.

Large companies taking on big tasks that you don't pay them for is undeniably risky for many reasons. One, they screw it up today. Two, they don't screw it up today but they change it tomorrow. We know this because many of these companies have done things like this before.

Is big tech intentionally trying to increase unemployment so as to appease the Fed ?
Part of me wonders whether splitting downvote and disagree would fix this. I know in quite a few forums there's a system where like and dislike are separate reactions from agree and disagree, with the latter ones not affecting the 'score' in the slightest. Maybe it'd be even better if neither existed, and you had to vote a reason you liked or disliked a post, like 'is spam', 'is insightful', etc.

Not letting people just say "I disagree with this" without a reason might help remove this pendantry and echo filterness.
Sometimes union expectations are as ridiculous as what corporations try to get away with. In some ways of course, they're the same motivation -- trying to remove yourself from the normal rules of economics and what you can bargain for with customers and suppliers.

In what magical world do unions expect that they can achieve all of 1) high wages, 2) great benefits, 3) long, protected employment contracts, 4) reducing anyone's work obligation to the minimum? I too would love if by legislation against reality, I could be paid a lot, forever, to do a job I could phone in via Zoom.

Life comes with tradeoffs, unless you're very lucky.
> Cable based charging is still far more common than wireless.

All old things are more common than new things until they're not.

I narrowed the audience to "current" phone, whatever the most recent model is. Folks carrying those tend to be the early adopters and tend to be using the new capabilities.
> They can stop you on the road without reasonable suspicion / PC / a warrant.

If you're within 100 miles of the border or the oceans. That covers something like 2/3rds of the U.S. population.
Yeah, I think HN is mostly wrong about those as well. :)
And that doesn't get clarified by UI that distinguishes between encrypted messages and SMS, because Telegram doesn't have such a thing to distinguish between.

My point is that all of this is orthogonal to whether Signal can successfully make UI show users when they are sending encrypted messages vs unencrypted SMS.

Most of the confusion you are citing is about whether an app does encryption or not, and that is a totally distinct problem domain.
Steel is an incredible massive category. For high quality steels (duplex, maraging, PH stainless), you actually don't want much carbon. Since they talk about "aging properties" in the article, I'd imagine they're targeting the nicer stuff. This doesn't seem like a process intended for cheap steel.
Also they are losing share in the datacenter space as well. AWS is fabricating their own chips for gravitron instances as well as some other special types. GCP has been doing this for awhile with their ML chips, and I am sure Azure is moving in that direction too. It looks like they will take the path of IBM where they are still massive due to legacy users not moving off of them, but it will be hard to capture new market share without some massive change happening.
There are tons of services on GCP which incur a bill. And unless you're on a premium support plan, you'd be extremely lucky to talk to a solution architect.

That being said, Google Workspace Solutions engineering roles has slowly broadened in last few years. The demand has outstripped the supply. Internally, it is acknowledged its a problem.
Main targets of the attack were components of electirc grid, hence relatively low casualty numbers. For some reason western media mentions this only in passing, while pushing what seems to be the misses to the front page.
Luckily there are many, many countries in the world with no semiconductor industry of their own who benefit from no single company or country staying as the perpetual, unchallenged giant.
If you look at Intel's history, they do this consistently and at predictable cadence regardless of the state of the broader economy.
I pay for a bunch of streaming services, for semi-moral reasons, but I still pirate 99% of content.

Pirating is the only way to get accurate high-quality subtitles. I’ll automatically download them from Opensubtitles and then strip out the very distracting non-dialogue parts like “[ominous music]”. Also streaming services often have out-of-sync subtitles, like DS9 on prime video. With pirated content I automatically get perfectly synced dialogue-only subs in the exact font, size, and styling of my choosing.

Other benefits of pirating include:

- knowing exactly what bitrate/resolution you’re getting. Streaming services love to stealthily downgrade Chrome users to 720p. Pirated content often uses more computationally complex encoding letting you get more quality in fewer bits.

- easy playback of 4K content on the desktop. Often streaming services restrict 4K to certain hardware devices only. (where they can do L1 DRM protection)

- general playback flexibility. Instead of relying on each streaming service's bespoke interface, I can use my preferred media player (IINA/mpv) with all my favourite keybindings. Also, I can try out things like vapoursynth motion interpolation to get pseudo-60fps, or real-time upscaling of cartoons with Anime4K.
