Similar experience at school in Russia, also with maths. No sexism, just an extreme bully and encouraged bullying. Forever put me off maths.

I sincerely think she completely sucked at her job but sociopath-politicked her way to teaching the classes with the kids that were labeled the brightest (i.e. mostly from good families, upper middle class, almost no ethnic minorities, etc.), they tend to succeed and go to good universities for some unfathomable reason (sarcasm) and she could take the credit.

Relatively? More likely. "Oh yeah, we get that. At a number of levels which we call honktaves, incidentally."

Absolutely? As in, we have that set of frequencies bolted on to our culture too? Seems less likely.

Right, so only just about every website on the planet.

It's not explicit at all. The vast majority of users would not understand that's happening when they're in incognito mode.

What you have basically done here is say "we only downrank spam" (this is fine), and then said "state-sponsored news is inherently spam" (this is not).

You are using a definition of "spam" that is not commonly held or understood by those who would be your users. Whether or not this is for a noble reason, this renders it a dark pattern. This is not only a violation of the principle of least astonishment, your explanation comes off as deceptive. You are making a value judgment on truth and working that into the product while claiming you are not making a value judgment.

Relevance and truth are two different things. It is not your job to be making calls on the second one, and I find your willful conflation of these concepts, and attempts to deflect from the fact that you have done so to be a bit gross.
I missed the part where they said they wanted to live in "a dense metropolis filled to the brim with high rises where I cannot barely see the sky, and people are jammed into streets like cattle and no one has yards". Did you respond to the wrong comment, or did you just invent a strawman to argue against?

I saw the screenshot for Firefox View and at first I thought they were bringing back RSS! How slick would it be for Firefox View not to just show you the list of recent sites you've visited, but give you a preview of the _current content_ on those sites using RSS!
We already have very robust descriptions of how the world works at every scale, from the planck length all the way up to the limits of the observable universe, and in extremes of environment from the surface of neutron stars, to the roiling virtual particles of empty space. We can calculate behaviours in these environments very precisely right now. Sure, there are things about these environments we still need to learn, but they're not utterly intractable or inconceivable to us.

There's a character Rimmer in a comedy series Red Dwarf that's always going on about how aliens would be unimaginable to use because they're alien and everything they do would be... well.. 'alien'. It's poking fun at SF that presents aliens as inherently utterly unintelligible to us simply by virtue of being alien, but frankly that's absurd. Physics doesn't care who or where you are, the same rules apply.

My iPad mini (6th generation) drains in a few days without a Pencil attached to it, and nothing I've been able to do manages to improve standby time noticeably. I think your blame is misplaced on the Apple Pencil. Apple needs to fix standby time on iPadOS across the board.

Huh, you're right; Wikipedia puts the EOL of the current version at 2025-12-31. I wonder if they changed that or I misremembered; I was quite sure that I'd read of it being EOLed years ago. (Or perhaps I did read an EOL notice but they were announcing it on Enterprise timelines, i.e. "heads up that it'll finally die in a mere 8 more years"...)

> However, the details of the Harvard interpretation do not stand up to scrutiny. There is no evidence that Kaczynski read most of the authors whom Chase and Corey cite as his influences, and there is some evidence that Kaczynski did not read some of them. In May 2001, Corey mailed a copy of his article to Kaczynski and asked for his comments. Kaczynski’s reply was unhelpful and dismissive, but his private notes on this article are revealing. He wrote that he had ‘never read anything by’ many of the authors whom Corey and Chase list as the Manifesto’s sources: Alfred Adler, Hannah Arendt,...and E. F. Schumacher. Kaczynski confirmed that he had read B. F. Skinner, as well as three books by Jacques Ellul... But of the authors he read, he denied that the Manifesto was influenced by several of them.

Has the author of this article mailed it to Kaczynski to see what he thinks?

I think each person has their limits of what they are or are not willing to do, but I have to say, I find it strange where you decided to draw the line. Personally, I wouldn't do anything that grossed me out or that I found demeaning or humiliating. For example, I probably would have refused to sweep that parking lot if I thought the person telling me to do it was doing it just to show that they could; but if it was something that needed doing and there was no one else, I see no issue.
> Is it just that the internet has enabled a level of local entertainment that wasn't available before and now the absolute personal freedom that cars and roads bring don't seem as appealing as they once did?

People are becoming aware of the absolutely immense societal cost that comes with "absolute personal freedom" that car-centric culture brings, and how most of the "freedom" it offers is really not that unique. healthy density, good public transit, bicycles, and car rentals for rural destinations give you the vast majority of the freedom without many of the downsides.

This isn't some untested technology, it exists now in many countries and most urbanism in the US is about just pointing to what already works in Europe and saying we should build it here.

If possible, I'd add indentation to your examples to make them much more readable. As it stands, it's like reading one of my math prof's C code (he was an old FORTRAN when it was shouting coder and never learned to indent):

insert t node = recursive_deepest_first(items=t.children,item=t,
lastRecursion=l)(
if len(t.children) == 0 t.activate()
location = reversed(t.children).find(item=i, item.value >= node.value)
output = insert t node
if len(t.children) > 3 {
replace(t, Node(value=t.children÷(point=middle=m)
= m.value,children.sort(item=i,sortKey=i.value)=t)
output = l.t }
else deepest t.children.append(node)
)

Assuming this doesn't invalidate the program it reads more clearly and only takes one more line:

insert t node = recursive_deepest_first(items=t.children, item=t, lastRecursion=l)(
if len(t.children) == 0
t.activate()
location = reversed(t.children).find(item=i, item.value >= node.value)
output = insert t node
if len(t.children) > 3 {
replace(t, Node(value=t.children÷(point=middle=m) = m.value, children.sort(item=i, sortKey=i.value)=t)
output = l.t
}
else
deepest t.children.append(node)
)

That original program was hard to decipher for both lack of indentation and the odd line breaks, and inconsistent choice of space or no space after commas. Another question, why do you use `if ... then...` in some examples and not in others? Is that a user choice?
Now if someone would write an app that checks if your licensed code can be found with Copilot, we would go full circle. It could actually be useful to see if your code is used without proper licensing?
All the Apple devices I've used have notoriously buggy Bluetooth implementations. Maybe their implementation for communicating with Apple headphones is less buggy, but even when I have working Bluetooth, I'd much rather charge fewer devices and not have to deal with dongles when switching devices.
Would we have Shakespeare's plays if he didn't make money? Which encourages better plays:

I write a play, and I can license theater companies to be able to perform it. Therefor better writers are attracted to the industry (instead of to say Ad Copywriting) and because of a higher level product, the industry thrives.

I can write a passion play that the local theater will perform. I will not generate enough income to live from my product. I will not generate income from licensing my production because there is no copyright and my scripts would just get stolen/distributed freely. The industry has less quality productions. The majority of productions have no reputation of quality.

It's a standard industry term, you're pushing an uphill battle if you want to change that.

Also, if you want to pedantic (which you are a little bit) 'contribution' (ie individual contributor) in its strictest interpretation is business value that can be demonstrated on the top or bottom line. P2P mentorship, under that strictest interpretation, isn't 'contribution'. No well managed, well planned organization wants 'shadow' or 'dark' management to be occurring, even if it might be.

Thus and therefore "individual contributor" is absolutely the correct term for someone who is only responsible for their own contribution to the business.
Greater taxes on income are well-intentioned but largely ineffective given that the truly rich don't have an income. They have unrealized capital gains that they borrow against.

What California should do is repeal the great disaster that was (and still is) Prop 13. The article glosses over it (calling it a "fiscal toll" without saying much else). This is one of those rare situations where California should be more like Texas, namely:

1. Commercial property should be reassed and taxed accordingly at least every 5 years if not every year. Currently the tax rate that Disney pays in Anaheim was set in the 1960s and hasn't changed. A lot of commercial property is this way because it's passed around in LLCs so it doesn't trigger a reassessment because there is no transfer;

2. "Kicking old people out of their homes" is used as an argument against this. You can achieve this goal, if it's one you want, without giving billionaires generational preferential tax treatment. In Texas, for example, the state can defer pdroperty taxes until the sale of the house for the elderly. This gives you the choice of downsizing to save money or staying put until after you die;

3. Stop the inheritance of preferential tax rates (which happens now);

4. Make property tax relatively high percentage wise while essentially eliminating state income tax on those earning less than $100,000 such that those earning less than $100,000 are net better off under the new system; and

5. Make propety tax largely based on land use. This means a $2 million apartment will attract a lower tax rate than a $2 million single family house.

I actually think the tides have turned and this may actually pass with voters.
Ask HN: A place to collect reverse-engineered WiFi config protocols?
Many connected devices support some sort of open or otherwise cross-platform protocol for the service they provide, but quite a lot of them hide setup and WiFi config behind some shoddy proprietary app. Cough, printers, cough.

So even if devices could be used with something else than the "supported" OS, or beyond the lifetime of said shoddy app, they cannot be set up without it.

While these companies definitely deserve to be on a wall of shame, surely some protocols also get reverse-engineered by creative users that just want things to work.
Is there some place to collect and share such information in the open?

They're both right: Alec in saying that open detailed knowledge of

a protocol/value level description of moderation gives insufficient
assurance.

That's because abuse detection isn't cryptography in which the

>The problem for us seems to be cultural, we consider public transit to be a form a welfare rather than actual public infrastructure.

This is true practically everywhere bar a few select cities and megapolises. Doubly so if you have to get on at a stop which is dirty, dark and crowded. General exceptions include lack of parking and knowing you'll drink at the venue.

For travelling specifically:

• The Magic Keyboard acts as its own case for the iPad Pro. I wouldn't keep a bare laptop in my bag, but I would throw the iPad-Pro-in-keyboard-case in there.

• The iPad (any iPad) is better for reading books, watching movies, and all the other stuff you do more of on planes/trains/automobiles, than a laptop is. The Keyboard Case holds the iPad up in the air by about two inches (getting the screen closer to your eyeline without straining your neck), and then lets you further position the screen at strange angles (e.g. "inward") for better viewing — angles you can't really adjust a laptop to. And if you want to read a PDF, a graphic novel, or anything else designed to be viewed vertically, you can, at full size — just pick it up and turn it. (Maybe pull the case off to make it lighter, if you're going to be reading for hours.) Basically, the same logic behind bringing a purpose-designed e-reader device.

• If you have a Pencil to go with it, it can also be a reusable piece of paper with infinite "template" content pre-loaded — since you can arbitrarily mark up any PDF or image in the Files app, you can just load on a PDF of coloring-book pages, and now it's a coloring book; or grab a PDF of crossword puzzles, and now it's a crossword puzzle. No purpose-made apps required for either. (If you draw as a hobby, it can be your sketchbook, too; sadly, I'm no artist.) In other words, bringing an iPad also replaces packing those dimestore "activity books", and/or a notebook + actual pencil.

• iPads (or really any convertable / 2-in-1, where you can fold away the angled keyboard part of the computer) are great for showing people the stuff you do / giving people demos — which is something you might be doing a lot at conferences, if that's why you travel. This is a pretty unique use-case; tablets themselves are really "the thing" for this. They maybe replaced... handing out brochures? Having a glossy explainer book printed, and then packing that? Bringing a portable projector + slides?

• Kind of like the recent revival of "intentional dumbphones" that encourage "unplugging", the iPad is designed in a way that still allows for productive work, but makes it less fluid. I can SSH into prod from an iPad, but I don't want to do it for a minute longer than I have to. If you're travelling on vacation, this could keep you focused on relaxing, in a way you might not be if you have a laptop along, tempting you to spend eight hours ignoring your wife and kids to squeeze out that new feature that popped into your head.

Notice that none of those are benefits of the iPad Pro specifically. I don't think that, for at least my use case, there's really much I'd get from an "iPad Pro with Keyboard Case" over an "iPad Air with Keyboard Case." Mind you, I have an iPad Pro... but I bought it because I had the money, and wanted the beautiful color-calibrated display; not because the Air wouldn't have suited my use-case just fine. (Though, when I bought it — 2019 — they weren't yet selling the Keyboard Case for the Air.)
Be careful what you wish for. Idaho (where I live) has a balanced budget rule:

https://www.urban.org/policy-centers/cross-center-initiative...

The legislature must pass a balanced budget, but it can carry a deficit over into the following year.

In practice, they use that to deny nearly all discretionary spending, and even spending that other states consider crucial:

https://www.idahoednews.org/news/nea-idaho-ranks-last-in-per...

And then do odd things like raise education funding while cutting corporate taxes:

https://apnews.com/article/education-tax-reform-legislature-...

Which would seem fine and dandy, but if there's an economic downturn and we no longer have a budget surplus, that tax burden will fall on the backs of working people and they'll just cut education/social services/environmental protections again like they always do.
Bought an iPad earlier this year hoping to take some of the responsibilities off of my 2015 MPB, and it's really just a media consumption device.

Hard to admin my home server, program, etc on an iPad, even though it has a much faster processor and way better battery life.

I realize this is a bit of a niche usecase but apple shipping a Terminal.app for iOS/iPadOS would be a game changer.

A human being doesn't violate copyright in learning from a copyrighted work, including when that human being is later more able to produce other works based on that learning (e.g. reading fantasy novels and learning concepts, tropes, or vocabulary that one uses to produce other fantasy novels;

Yes, but a human being isn't allowed to copy that work before learning from it, even if they destroy the copy afterward. AIs don't watch Youtube or browse Github. People download copies of content stored there, analyze and categorize it, and then feed it into AIs. Copyright is broken at step 1.
I think tag aliases are fine, but in my opinion, tags should not have hierarchies. That is just opening the can of ontology worms, and most systems are ill-equipped to deal with ontologies...including ontological systems.

Tags are just dumb strings which label data. They are basically KeyValues, where the value is just always equal to True. We don't think of KVs as hierarchical unless they are explicitly a path string, and in that case, they are forced to be a plain tree with no cycles or diamonds.

My favorite crypto miner story was from a guy who caught an employee hiding ASIC miners above the ceiling tiles in their office. For some reason he thought nobody would notice. They noticed both the noise and the weird new devices on the network.

I suspect he lost more money from getting fired than he gained from the crypto mining. His miners were offline for quite a long time while they were seized as evidence in the ensuing investigation, too.

> I mean, it’s a valid point and also Warren Buffet’s model for ethics.

It's not a valid point and has nothing to do with ethics. If you're a gay person, there's nothing unethical about that. But if you happen to live in the Middle East, there's a good chance that your government wants to murder you because of that. Keeping it private is not unethical and doesn't point to you doing anything bad. And it's now impossible to live most of your life without some of it leaking out onto the web, even if you aren't the one actively putting it there yourself. Companies collecting data, people posting stuff about you, etc. If you live any part of your life, it's likely it will end up on the internet without you doing anything.
