Agree completely with the sentiments of this article. It started when I put an empty bag on the scanned-articles area, to hold items I'd just scanned, and the machine complained that I didn't scan that 'item'. Then the 'helper' arrived.

I shop in the place when it has humans working the registers. I'll sort the groceries by type, I'll gladly bag them as well. When the humans are gone, so's my business.
My university education was cheap and world class. Look overseas to see how badly America is doing.
"Why? Because human brains are broken. We connate price with prestige and prestige with quality."

Agree. Part of what is enabling this is all the easy money to pay that tuition.

> I would clean out the State election laws before applying band-aids and lotions.

I don't see why the two approaches can't be run in parallel. I agree with you, though, that laws which privilege specific parties (or even parties generally over independent candidates) have no place in a democracy.

Have there not been any cases brought which challenge the constitutionality of such laws?

I know that Lawrence Lessig tried to challenge Winner Take All (plurality) voting in the US under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment[0], which seemed like a bit of a long shot, whereas I don't think that the establishment would feel particularly threatened by having to rewrite a few state laws to be more neutral. Presumably there are plenty of states that don't have such laws, and they are equally locked into the two-party system.

I am saying people are mortal and there will be as many people dying as being born. You can lower number of deaths only by lowering number of births.
You could start a startup building the specialized imaging sensors, with the aim of being acquired by $bigtech so they can tell congress "yes we are doing something about deepfakes" and eventually tell consumers "you can tell that photos taken by our devices/posted to our site are real, the other sites are full of BS"

I don't see how it all comes together without a partnership between the tech companies that display media (Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and the tech companies that provide hardware (Apple, Google, Samsung, etc.) Maybe what's needed is to go through a nonprofit like the Partnership on AI.

Google is an interesting target because they are basically the only company that's both a media displayer and a hardware provider. If Android devices get a "verified non-deepfake" capability before Apple devices get it, I could see that as being a significant leg up for Android actually. It encroaches on Apple's traditional branding of "we make products for important people". I wonder if the Titan M has capabilities which could be leveraged. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/10/building-t...

Google would probably sell loads of Pixel phones if it upranked "verified non-deepfake" Youtube videos recorded using Pixel cameras & microphones. Every aspiring Youtube star would know to record using a Pixel. The deepfake thing is a pretty good excuse to defend against an antitrust lawsuit, especially if Google can say that the capability will eventually roll out to competing hardware.
Here's my pessimistic prediction for the future of Twitter:

- Many people don't care enough to pay $8, and with their content downranked, just mostly stop posting.

- Even some legitimate users who'd be willing to pay for a checkmark are reluctant, since it acts as something like tacit approval for Musk himself, in a time when public opinion is low.

- Spammers on the other hand all have blue checkmarks and are sorted to the top, having bought them from countries where they're dirt cheap[0].

- Remaining users get into the habit of scrolling past blue-checkmark responses altogether, as if they're a series of banner ads before the real content.

- Twitter briefly tries to fix the new spam issue by downranking countries where checkmarks are cheap, generating outraged headlines.

- Twitter briefly tries to fix the issue by making checkmarks $8 worldwide, generating outraged headlines.

- Twitter tries again to fix the issue with some sort of multi-tiered subscription system or something but it doesn't matter because the site is a shell of its former self by now anyway.

- Twitter messes with the UI a bunch of times.

- Twitter sells for $18.3 million to Automattic.

I live in a multi-apartment house. When COVID started, one of tenants was found COVID-positive. Our entire house was locked by authorities for two weeks. It was forbidden to leave it, there was car with policeman and barricades. The only way to get food was to order it with online delivery.

It was so crazy.

In other cities authorities literally welded doors and cut small windows: https://newtimes.kz/storage/news/news/2020/04/05/5e8973f787b...

"I share this sentiment and can't figure out why politicians aren't better stewards of the peoples' interest."

In part, it's the nature of the job, one has to overpromise--since they are voted for something they will do, not something they did, although that may inform what they will do--and then, by definition, underdeliver. Which means first lying and then trying not to get caught, or using one of the varieties of the "things have changed" defense. Unsavory behaviors, no doubt about it.

I like to watch on YouTube some old political debates (60s, 70s, 80s) that used to take place in my country and one of the many things I noticed is that, yes, charisma and speed of thought were important, but there was substance behind the positions politicians took.
My point is not an "oh, the old days" kind of observation; back then there were many terribly incompetent or outright rogue politicians, but the quality of the median politicians was considerably better.

Two years ago, my wife and I invited my parents to move into a home with us and our children. I expect to always be glad we did, but it has been challenging in ways we hadn't really anticipated. In particular, it requires a more conscious effort for my wife and I to have time to have conversations between just the two of us.

The help with childcare is great as well as the extra hands for household chores. The biggest advantage (and the trigger for this) is that we get to spend time with my ailing dad in his remaining months or years (and he gets to know his grandkids). It also allows us to own fewer cars (2 cars in a household with 4 adults, versus 1 car for each adult). I do wish I had bought a house with an extra bed/bath, however. Not enough to make it worth moving at this time.

> Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake. Others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. This suggests he may truly be as clueless as he appears.
I ran into the same problem.

What I found most irritating was that even reformatting the drive (in any file system and on different machines), would not make the drive work again. After plugging it into my Mac the FS would corrupt again.
It just seems like nobody wants the 14 or 14 Plus, there hasn't been any demand and apples been cutting back production there
Twitter used to remove the blue checkmark if the user changes their name or their handle. and the verification was an attestation that Twitter verified that the user's name matches the identity.

not sure why they've removed that. would've helped here this case.
What would it take to build a city that mirrors the auto manufacturing capabilities of Detroit in its classic car period?

Note that this isn't Ford, or GM that did it.. but rather Ford and GM and hundreds of smaller companies that supplied the raw materials to a company to make the parts that were used by companies that supplied the parts to the auto makers.

And so, yes, you could - but its not something that one company can do - or for that mater even has the competency to do for the same reason that Ford doesn't run steel mills.
I don't believe BT will truly take off until web seeding is functional in all clients and I can use (a site | series of sites) to make a torrent of an existing thing. There was such a site (whose cute URL escapes me) where one could plug in a URL, it would download and cook a .torrent file but with the web seeds pointed at the source, and from that point forward others could get the cached version and the process was bootstrapped

I was also saddened by AWS dropping torrent support from their S3 API because that's one more easy way that folks could provide torrent bootstrapping "for free"
I go back and forth between boiling the eggs the whole time, and bringing them to a boil and letting them sit. I can't determine which works better.

Thank you for asking this. Flicker drives me absolutely mad, and it seems like no one else I've met experiences it (and trust me, I've asked a lot of people).

• Cheap lights on a bike? Flicker.
• Lights on an expensive SUV? Flicker.
• Lights at Starbucks or at my library? Flicker.
• My phone (Pixel 5)? Flickers (I use a PWM reducing app that works by applying an overlay).
• Nearly 30% of all lighting at homes/commercial spaces and nearly 100% of those LED Edison bulbs? Flicker.

And if it didn't give me a headache often I wouldn't mind that much, but unfortunately it does.

Steve Jobs returning to Apple meant layoffs, but it was a month later. After analysis and planning.

He didn't do it on the same day, while carrying a sink into the office.

Elon is a showman. Constantly overpromising on things that don't exist.

In this case, he's allowed himself to be fooled by his cheering twitter fanbase. But it's not as real as he thinks.

I just spent an entire weekend playing candy box 2 and I had so much fun, I made a donation to the dev. First game I've played to the end in years. There's something about making a number go up (in the game, it is candies) that satisfies my curiosity in a way I didn't think I needed.

I got to use my math skills (estimating when some scheme would make the number reach a certain level. I got to use my research skills (searching the game wiki for schemes to make the number reach a certain level). I got to use my puzzle-solving on some of the minigames. I got to be patient while waiting for schemes to pay off. I got to be persistent when grinding through some minigames to make the number go up. I had something to look forward to whenever I was bored throughout the day.

Thanks to the dev, aniwey, and thanks to the HN poster who started the thread about Universal Paperclips on which I found a reference to Candy Box 2.
Google hides TOTP option until you create a method that uses your mobile number or google app. Only after that you can change it to TOTP.
> Personally I'm excited to see how C++ Concepts can evolve.

So, C++ 20 Concepts is basically what Bjarne Stroustrup proposed for a future version of his C++ language in the early 2000s. Several people proposed and WG21 accepted, a far more capable feature set for Concepts, this is often referred to as C++ 0x Concepts, since it was accepted for C++ 0x, the standard that would eventually (after years of delays) become C++ 11.

Bjarne wrote a paper arguing that this more powerful feature set was unnecessary and perhaps unworkable, and WG21 wound up removing Concepts from C++ 11 entirely (and the people behind it mostly got the message and ceased working on C++ altogether). A decade later, something that's close to Bjarne's original proposal became a C++ 20 feature.

C++ 0x Concepts was similar to Rust's Trait system in many ways. Particularly notable features of C++ 0x Concepts you might recognise in Rust's Traits:

1. Third parties can implement a C++ 0x Concept for some type which was not originally conceived with this Concept in mind, they just write the implementation and it works.

2. C++ 0x Concepts must be explicitly implemented they're not just a syntactic requirement that could be satisfied by happenstance in a type which is not in fact suitable.

3. As a result of 1 & 2, the C++ 0x Concepts have Semantics which in C++ 20 Concepts are confined to the idea of "modelling" a Concept or else IFNDR.

Is it too costly?

Very likely.

It's not just the cost of making the the coils quieter, you also have to put them through Quality Control procedures. That's where the expense is.

Then there is also the old adage: "If it works, don't fix it."

Coil whine is merely the modern equivalent of transformer noise.

For anyone wondering why: It it because they are labeled as COVID close contact by health code system, so they cannot take public transport system even they have enough money.
My experience with Solr is that it is much more schema-centric than ES. Which is good and bad, because ES being all "don't worry about it" is fine until you do have to worry about it, and then it's some holy hell trying to square up your version of the world with what ES thinks of the world

The Solr search API is worse, IMHO, also, although it can likely be fine if you just stick to their simple query string (for both versions of "their," ES and Solr). That said, my experience with ES is just like OP's: keeping the piece of junk alive and healthy is a time-and-a-half job. Combined with their recent license tomfoolery, I hope to never touch it again

I haven't used any of the new search upstarts in anger enough to know whether they're prime-time or not
I wouldn’t say that - it’s been effective for some of my designs, and I’ve referred to notes for small hacks I’ve acquired, but it’s inefficient IMHO.

From the last article you linked:

"In January 2004, President George W. Bush unveiled plans to send astronauts to the Moon in 2015 and shortly thereafter to Mars."

I remember when GW announced this. I had friends and colleagues who said things like "Wow. Maybe I should go work work at NASA give all the exciting stuff that will be going on there." Guess it didn't work out that way.

(In fairness, NASA did a lot of OTHER cool stuff in that time frame. Just not sending people to the Moon/Mars).
Just to play devil’s advocate why is that horrific? Presumably the lack of transparency? Would it be morally acceptable if the hiring manager were honest about the scenario and the prospective employee knew to discount equity comp and focus on cash comp and being ready to find a new role?

Edit: Consider if you were offered 200k per annum plus some irrelevant RSUs a year to be fired in 6 months, would you really be offended to take that 100k if you knew up front that those were the terms of the deal? Point being that the arrangement is only immoral if it's dishonest, otherwise it's just basically a gift for reasons that are perhaps odd, but within the giver's rights.
Perhaps that's just because he was talking to people who think another literal moonshot was a figurative moonshot.

5. And we wonder why tuition keeps increasing? 1) Demand increases with population increase. 2) Demand increase with more people seeking 4 yr degrees. 3) Demand increases with the US subsidizing the ever living shit out of college tuition. 4) Supply stays relatively constant.

Demand is increasing due to the college wage premium, which keeps widening with no end in sight even despite Covid and online learning.

The college wage premium is the number one culprit for all these problems . For whatever reason, employers derive enough benefit from college grads to pay them waaaayyy more than high school grads

https://greyenlightenment.com/2022/09/22/blame-college-wage-...

The vast majority of people attend college to earn more money and be employable, as a sort of ticket the middle class. If college degrees only paid slightly more than high school instead of 2x more, demand would probably fall a lot, so would borrowing and tuition. Same for unemployment: high school grads have to 2x the unemployment rate. Maybe the onus is on employers: start finding ways to find hire more high school grads for better paying work...huge labor pool of high school grads..they cannot all be bad.
Not to nitpick a tangent, but community colleges, at least where I live, are only 2 year institutions, and don't provide full BS/BA degrees, just Associate degrees, which don't really open the same doors as the Bachelor degrees.

I really wish we had 4 year institutions managed like our community colleges, though. I remember my 2 years there much more fondly than I do my time spent at a "real" university.
