Is it really that strange people would squander it?

Look how kids are raised. The majority of them have decisions made for them all the way to the grave, no wonder so many 'squander' their free time. It takes most people years to deprogram themselves to a significant point. First year is mostly recovering from something akin to burnout.
Ugh. I think my reply would be something like "I'll trade you, Why did you come to a party?" Or "Why do you ask a question like that at parties?" or maybe just "Why do you ask?". Somehow bounce that right back on them. Force them to declare their own odious transparent self-important nature, or wriggle on the hook trying not to.
This is what I replied to:

>Non-competes should include compensation commensurate for the non-compete period. In the case of these individuals is the retirement package not sufficient to guard national secrets?
thanks, first link 404s
But is there a better way to subsidize shipbuilding capacity? I agree with your suggestion for focusing the Jones Act on the continental US, at a minimum that would reduce the disproportionate burden that states and territories outside the continental US face.

>Live is such a terrible program. Oh, it's great if you want to do 4/4 dance music centered around samples but for all other purposes it is incredibly painful.

That's just not true. It's used all the time for experimental, decidedly not "4/4 dance music", for soundtrack work, and for many other things, including tracking regular rock and other such bands.

>As a classic example, I play a midi wind instrument which sends notes and breath control and pitch bend. If you use "scale time" on the midi track, it moves the notes and leads the breath control and pitch bend where it was, silently breaking the track. This is true also of pitch bend, modulation, and volume controls.

Well, all DAWs have similar quirks. Some don't have microtuning (Live does) so you can't play Indian or Arabic maqam scales. Others don't have MPE (Live does), or can't sync live drums to the DAW in real time so synths/arps etc match the tempo (Live does), and so on...
Thanks, had difficulty separating the goals (of say, equality) which I support, with the tactics (emotional blackmail) I don’t, until now.

It is a really great game. I am sure that the game has been on hackernews before as I think I read about it here a long time ago. In the old thread there was a comment from a poster that worked with elevators and he said it was pretty close to the real thing! However it missed one important thing… You could do the most effective algorithms, but everything broke down when partners having their own special badge summoned an elevator. They should have the first empty one, and they should ride alone to their office floor.
Hard pass.

This is no different to any other neoliberal effort to move more profits to the capital-owning class by offshoring more jobs under the mirage of reducing costs to consumers by paying people in the third-world peanuts.

The US (and the EU) are able to use their significant market power to benefit consumers and workers by imposing regulation on those who want access to their markets. Access to the US financial system is one way the US can impose its will (for better or for ill) on foreign financial institutions, as one notable example.

This article makes no mention of "flags of convenience" and that really gives the game away at the agenda of the neoliberal thinktanks that produced it.

Maritive law is complicated. A big factor is what flag a ship flies under. Often commercial shiping will fly under a flag of a country that has next to no worker protections so countries like Liberia and even Mongolia (yes, land-locked Mongolia) ostensibly operate large commercial shipping fleets. To further escape any liability form, say, spilling millions of barrels of oil this will be further complicated by a corporation registerd in a different country operating the ship flying a flag of yet another country.

The US is a huge destination for commercial shipping. The US thus has a ton of power to require certain standards of the ships that want to visit its ports and the conditions the crews operate under. Under no circumstances should we give this up for the false promise of neoliberal cost-cutting.
The fact that the US goes out of its way to legislate breast pump breaks and pumping rooms at work rather than just legislate 1 year of parental leave so a mom can properly breastfeed her child is insane.
I guess it's a matter of social networking, but I would think essentially any stay-at-home mom could still take in a few kids. It wouldn't even occur to me to check whether that's "allowed".
Sure, commutes in Southern California seem to be a nightmare. But most office workers don't live in Southern California, so using that as a global minimum of commute times is probably extremely biasing it.

> Now throw in minimum 0.5h + 0.5h commute or more realistically at least 1.5h total commuting time

This is what I'm responding to here. ihateolives is suggesting all commutes are a minimum of 0.5h each way, with 1.5h being a realistic figure. They make no mention about Southern California, they're talking about WFO in general. Would you agree that 1.5h commutes in general are realistic, or do you think that's pretty big hyperbole?

To me, 1.5h commutes are insane and are a massive outlier, and I live in one of the most sprawled out metro areas in the US.
I don't want to have to hunt for documentation if it breaks. It may have been 30 years and everything but the binary has been lost, and the vendor is out of business. If in that situation all I get is an error code and a link to documentation that doesn't exist, I'd have to start reverse-engineering. And while doing so I'd definitely be cursing the coder who decided that saving a couple hundred bytes of space in a log file in the event of an "abort the program"-severity event was worth dumping this in my lap.
I like the mission of Brave, but some things just do not add up, like the crypto ad stuff. I just don't get how privacy will be their main interest. I'm watching the project closely, but for now will stick with Firefox.
Awesome :) Glad you like it and get it!

Yes that is the idea, people are already searching multiple sources. I was just thinking of how to do that better with a good simple UX.

Let me know if there are specific other sources you would like!
Adblocking is theft? No, advertising is psychological assault. Blocking ads is self defense.

Do you have a company that depends on advertising? I hope it fails. I use firefox btw, and I block all ads.
Can u share your catalog, i really liked both the op's post and the tigyog.app one. And i am looking for more!
Let’s also not forget that making everyone work from home was a choice by our employers. It was the pro-business alternative to giving paid time off to people who had family to take care of. It wasn’t easy and we shouldn’t forget it didn’t have to be like that.

After enduring that, if we managed to keep the business alive, we now invite the rest of you to play office wherever you want.
Suppose that a lab created a novel virus, which then leaked and killed 2 million people, including making you very sick so that you had difficulty breathing for a month and killing someone close to you. If that happened, might you conclude that maybe we shouldn't mutate deadly human viruses in the lab? Or at least, that the burden of proof that that research is worth millions of lives should be very high?

A lot of people died from Covid; there's a good chance it was due to virus research; even if it wasn't it certainly could happen in the future; I don't want them to have died in vain.

Point taken about the meaning of GoF, thanks.
That would be done via planned navy ship replacement. Not by Jone's Act and similar.

Let alone - merchant ships are needed to trade and interact with allies in these extreme situations. And last I checked Maersk is a Danish company, and Danmark is a close ally.
> Kroger/Albertsons would... own and operate brands such as Safeway, Ralphs, Smith’s, Harris Teeter, Dillons, Fred Meyer, Vons, Kings, Haggen, Tom Thumb, Star Market, Jewel-Osco, and Shaw’s.

The illusion of competition. Then within that single company posing as many are found food products sold by a handful of megacompanies like Kraft, Nestle and General Mills, each posing as a multitude of companies "competing" with one another.

For this and other reasons, it's best to cook and eat whole foods (onions, sweet potatoes, etc.) instead of consuming foodlike products that were manufactured.
Because if they 'import' things like food or an amazon package from the mainland they can only use Jones Act vessels which drives the costs up crazy.
Sharing this because we've had submissions in the past about retracted articles and I commented previously on HN about a system we built at my job to detect retractions and other notices from the titles.

Our preprint is now live and so I'm sharing in case it's of interest to folks. Full disclosure, I work at https://scite.ai and am one of the authors of this paper.
The problem is not ads, per se. The problem is (a) tracking and (b) ad-based business models who have misaligned incentives between users and advertisers.

If you tell me that Google/Firefox share their revenue with users and their ads don't collect personal data, I'll be rushing back to it.
You're right, I had those backwards
The Internet was free (and much less corporate) before ads.
Stripe is pretty straightforward if you're taking in USD
So sounds like Google pretty much owns the RCS protocol? I know it's meant to be an open standard, but sounds like there's no point in any third party app implementing if it can't send messages to people with Google Messages.
Yeah I think "catalogue" is a better word and that's why the paper uses it, I don't think there is a visual "map".
but where is the connection between investing yourself into your job and going in to the office? That assumes that you can't work hard from home, which I don't believe to be true.
> ...Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary...

Certainly... but why are you conflating that with WFH?

Actually, you're conflating a bunch of things with WFH for some reason. If you sort some of that out you might not be so against it after all.
Quite true! Geographically, keep in mind it would be trivial to blockade South Korea from China, and South Korea has been invaded by a Chinese Puppet state in the somewhat recent past (North Korea), with which they are still technically at war.

It’s no ship yard in Seattle.
Wish i'd known about this before signing up with Recurly and, later Stripe Subscriptions. Now existing subscriptions are locked in and I can't move to other vendors without losing those existing subscriptions.
What has helped me was a combination of trying to really simplify life, and accepting and embracing that things will be hard, and that this will require a lot of energy and strength. I see my pre-parent self as really weak, and am genuinely grateful for how hard this has been, because it has helped forge me into someone with real strength, that I didn't have before and never would have had. I'm not going to lie, I was a mess the first few years as a parent and was massively stressed, couldn't sleep, and couldn't figure out how to find time just to do basic care for my body not alone enjoy hobbies.

For your example, I usually take out the trash together with him, we each hold half of the handle. It takes 10 minutes to get him dressed and willing to do this, but it works. I try to avoid TV and media, but will occasionally use it as a babysitter when I need to do something like a meeting or cook food. I do sometimes do zoom meetings with him, and cook food together with him. The more I can engage him in adult activities, the less bored he is, and the less he acts up, gets hurt, etc.

These sources had ideas that helped me the most:
* Magda Gerber's RIE Philosophy (see https://www.janetlansbury.com), especially useful before age 3
* Ryan Holiday's "The Daily Dad" e-mail list (now also a book)
* "Simplicity Parenting" by Kim Payne and Lisa Ross
* "Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids" by Bryan Caplan didn't have much specifically useful advice, but basically taught me to just relax and have fun as a parent, and not worry that I am messing everything up
* The "Outdoor Boys" Youtube channel. This guy is a total badass, and brings his 3 boys on epic wilderness adventures alone

I don't have any family support, but did recently move in with an amazing girlfriend, that is willing to help trade off parenting duties.
Wow! I haven’t used it yet, but I’m impressed by the demos. Seems like just the mobile editor with joystick and autocompletion would be a viable product by itself, not to mention the power of repl.it behind it.
I'll add a few for developer-oriented messages.

* Say what the program was trying to do.

* Make the message unique and searchable.

* Make it detailed.

* FFS, include the filename or whatever else the program is having trouble with.

* If possible, include the source code location.

* If possible, include useful contextual information.

* Quote strings. Once in a while, some unexpected whitespace sneaks in somewhere and this can be hard to figure out.

Eg, don't just abort with "Open failed: NOT_FOUND". Abort with "job.c:2105 Failed to open job description file '/var/spool/jobs/125.json' when processing job #5 for user 'alice': NOT_FOUND".

This way I don't have to strace the damn thing to try and figure out what's it looking for, and know which user it was for, so I don't have to dig around and try and figure out which entry in the database might contain the wrong information.

Also, context-free, generic error messages are awful. A large enough codebase may be impossible to search for some very common keywords.

If possible, googleable error codes are great to have, but they shouldn't replace the error message. It's ideal if you can search the source code and instantly find where the error message originates.

A fairly significant amount of women have dedicated a decent amount of time, and money, academically, socially, etc. To their careers.

Why, some women have even found working to be more enjoyable to being at home with kids.

All joking aside, my wife is extremely worried about the impact her career will take from having children and her life goals include executive level leadership as part of her career. So you could, in fact say that corporate life really does matter that much to her.

The design thinking I'm going right now is less options to figure out and click, and just make it easy to jump to any source, and do the best possible to show ranked and relevant sources. What do you think? Would love more input and ideas on this!

This sounds exactly like the kind of thing a top secret military program would know how to do with a few petaflops of calculating power, a network of linked microphones, and a complete survey of the area. At least to ranges that would be very surprising to someone outside of that program.

I've been raising kids for 24 years straight now, and still have about 10 years to go.

Here's a few things I've learned.

- kids are an exercise in what happens when you have intelligence without wisdom. It can be a horrifying and cruel combination as well as charming and lovely.

- aside from certain extremes, you don't have a lot of influence on how your kids are going to turn out. Kids have certain predispositions, and fighting those is frustrating and futile. Let them grow, they'll figure it out eventually. Or they won't.

- kids pretty much raise themselves and should be free to do so. Make sure they're appropriately safe, have quality nutrition, avoid sugar, and then provide a safety net for them.

- one of the biggest failures in parenting, and one of the most difficult to overcome, is imprinting an image on your child of who you want them to be.

- my approach to parenting is this: keep it simple. Teach honor and the reasons for it. Apply discipline to reinforce core concepts of being honorable (don't steal, lie, mistreat, etc...). Other than that let them figure it out. Provide guidance on the rare and exceptional moments when they come to you.

My last note of advice is this: you'll never stop worrying, so get used to it. My oldest child is 24 and my youngest step child is 9. I worry all the time. I also recognize that I'm not the star of their story, they are.

So I keep my distance, worry like hell, watch them make avoidable mistakes and do my damnedest not to meddle.
Sometimes you prefer predictability and information over sheer speed. If do a very large transfer that could take hours, I'd rather trade a bit of speed to know the progress and make sure nothing is stuck than launching in the blind and then repeat slow and expensive du commands to know where I am in the transfer or have to strace the process.
...but hard to use on the bus or in line at the bank.
Other laws cover air and land transport.

Try taking a Ryanair or Air China flight from New York to San Francisco. Try getting CP Rail to deliver from Florida to New York or Bison Transport to deliver from Minneapolis to Houston.

The Jones Act covers foreign carriers between US maritime ports.

There are indeed problems with it and the amount of investment that the US, as a nation, has invested and retained in building and staffing ships that could be complaint with the Jones Act. It goes both ways - and the problem is not solely with the law.
> let's say between ~$150-180k

> even at that income I'm saving very, very little living in a HCOL and high tax city

Not the answer you want to hear but the problem is your spending. I have no idea what your life is like, but I was able to safe comfortably making 100K living in SF. Keep in mind the median HOUSEHOLD income in NYC is 67K.
It reads more as if both parents are at home, being able to take care of another newborn/infant/toddler becomes more manageable.
"flaunting terms like 'bioelectricity'."

Flaunting? Bioelectricity is very much a measurable thing and Levin has been studying electrical communication among cells for more than 20 years.

" A complete absence of any discussion of the genes involved"

That is sort-of his point. He isn't very interested in genome, but rather the actual growth and differentation processes. Much like you can discuss algorithms and software patterns while abstracting away the underlying hardware.

Levin is neither a quack nor a fraud. He has his own lab at Harvard and published many extraordinary results. No one else but him and his students can produce five-legged frogs, tadpoles with seeing eyes on their tails, frogs that regrow lost limbs even if they never do so in the wild etc.

You seem to have completely ignored his actual results, which are a huge green flag.

Or possibly you are dissing someone's work without actually getting acquainted with it.
I would. But in general I would consider anyone a founder of a company if they had a significant impact before the companies first product/service went general availability to their target demographic.

If they already had a general release of product or service. I wouldn't consider them a founder if they joined afterwards.
the difference is clear to be sure, just pointing out that at least in engineering, they have never been shy to publicize their failures, and use them to improve processes. I would hope that that attitude would apply equally to safety, but it seems like it does not.
You assume we exist. DonHopkins effectively assumes we don't exist, so reaches an opposite conclusion

On just cause ;), cyclical explanations create a giant hamster wheel. Why the wheel at all? So I think he implies the need for a prime mover. I.e. a force outside the system that defines the system. Kinda like axioms are needed to make maths work

Just my 2p
Yeah same. There was a basic prerequisite that everyone know the basics of C, but there was no expectation of assembly knowledge. So we'd write a compiler to compile the code down to reduced form of C that basically mimics assembly, and then use gcc to compile that.
Error messages should definitely be written with a target audience in mind. For Wix, a blogging platform, the target audience is usually decidedly non-technical. For many of the tools I use, more technical detail would be welcome. Then again, my parents are unlikely to use the same tools, while they might use Wix.

When popups took over advertising in the late 90s, browsers were quick to interrupt that annoyance.

It seems that browser companies (besides brave obviously) have conceded defeat to the general decline of the web.

They could do better to address bloat, slow performance and irritations like cookie & upsell (e.g. mailing list) popups.

web usage has already cratered. No one wants to use it because it's a usability nightmare.

Browsers need to take action before the web is completely dead.
