Agreed on being careful, but I also have to ack that a broad brush works way better than you seem to be implying.

Yes, there is nuance. But, also yes, GA has a runoff happening with a candidate that is bonkers. I am not at all clear I see any nuance helping explain that one.
Progress doesn't just mean "moving toward the future". It is not "progressive" to remove diversity and agency in favor of a strict sociocultural contract.

This is rather a perfect example of conservatism: refusing to extend beyond comfort zone boundaries because of a strong sense of risk avoidance, for fear of missing out on market opportunity. This conservatism has always existed but has a much broader reach in the era of the global community, and expresses itself in paradoxically new and exciting ways as it froths through the reactors of specific cultures.

I believe "regressive" is used in the sense that the aesthetics are "regressing toward a mean", which is true almost by definition, assuming you believe the postulates in the article.
The new logo is borderline painfully boring, this trend is going to end in there being one logo for everything, and that logo will be a single circle. Clean, minimal, elegant, and capable of instantly putting anyone who sees it to sleep.

It’s pretty amusing that this is on the front page at the same time as the below.

This just seems to be a mismatch of expectations. The Republicans won the election in that they are going to have more seats than they did before. People are saying they "lost" because they didn't win as much as people expected. To use a sports analogy, they won the game but didn't cover the spread.

This is the third such thread in the last 24 hours which consists of nothing but an elaborate waiting list signup. I've changed the titles to make that clear.

A good HN discussion needs more than a waiting list signup. A good time to have a thread would be when something is actually available.
The people replying to you arguing on semantics that abortion is not banned at the federal level are technically correct and conveniently omitting the fact that Senator Graham had attempted to introduce a federal abortion ban after Roe v Wade was overturned. The threat of a federal abortion ban was real, and was certainly on the mind of all the people who voted against the Republican party this election.

I want to understand what you wrote there, but I honestly have no idea what you mean. I can't even work out whether you're addressing the Mastodon issue, or trying to justify writing "unpopular".
I understand the concept you are trying to convey but you are using the wrong words, and as a result you come across as naive and uninformed. You are making an observation about a VC's motivation and strategy. But the words you are using make it sound like you are talking about the structure of their investment.

There is no distinction between a corporation and "the actual business" of the corporation from the point of view of an equity investor. An equity investor buys shares of the corporation, and that's it. An investor might be motivated to make that investment because they want a return, or they might be motivated to make that investment because they are passionate about what the corporation does, but either way, they buy the same stock. There are not separate investment mechanisms contingent on an investor's motives.

It is true that VCs are motivated entirely by ROI, and this is an important thing to understand, but rendering that as "VC's don't invest in businesses" is wrong. It turns an important insight into a deepity [1].

(I suspect that this particular aphorism models itself after Ray Croc's famous quip that he was not in the hamburger business but the real estate business. But in his case it was actually true. Ray Croc never sold a hamburger. He sold franchises to people who sold hamburgers. That really is an important structural difference, and it's the reason that Ray got much (much!) richer than any of his franchisees. But in this case, the aphorism is flat-out wrong. There is no structural difference between what a VC does and what any other equity investor does, with the single exception that VCs never invest in companies that have already gone public.)

> In many restaurants in the UK, a "tip" is automatically included for large parties to reward the extra work required but can be removed on request if they didn't think your service was good.

This is often the case in the US where it's default 18-20% for parties of more than 6-8 in my extremely unscientific recall. What's funny is that now 20% is already the default so they just made it a bit easier on the diner is all.
No, acceleration is going down. Not a lower rate of acceleration. The second implies acceleration is still increasing, but at a slower rate. What is actually happening is we're decelerating (so we're still going fast, meaning inflation is high, but inflation is going down...)

Without trying to be mean, I would also argue your framing is also poor as some inflation is not bad.

To put it in context, if current trends hold we'll expect 3-5% inflation yoy. That is not awful. Higher than last decade or so but we have had super low inflation for a long time. Averaging out, inflation over the last decades, even including the recent high inflation, will still be pretty low, around 3%.

“nobody — nobody — was predicting that the Republicans would win by 12 or 16 percentage points.”

An excess 14% thinking republicans will win doesn’t predict a 14% margin, it predicts 14% excess probability that republicans win, by some amount.

Even that I’d be skeptical over though. I think this question is basically measuring which media narrative has become predominant & by how much.
I second this. Python has a Global Interpreter Lock, so only one Python instruction executes at a time.

Async and threads only help you with I/O (where the OS affords waiting for multiple operations in parallel).

To execute CPU-bound code in parallel you need multiple processes.

I think this is a major disadvantage of Python, because processes are much costlier to spawn, and if you implement long-running workers to avoid frequent spawning, you have to incur serialization/deserialization costs, because shared memory support is very rudimentary (in essence, just fixed size numeric code).
This was my reading as well. As someone who has zero (or even negative) party loyalty but has friends and loved ones all over the spectrum, it's really disappointing to see these kinds of casual assumptions.

Edit: Though maybe a more charitable reading is that whether or not the assumption is fair, you have to acknowledge that people out there do make it, and so republicans would be wise to not advertise their affiliation.
> Working class people could not tell you what ["cultural appropriation", "gendered", or "heteronormative"] mean.

What is the working definition of working class here? I think the author is confusing "blue collar" with "working class".

Working class is everything from janitor to manager of accounting department.
A logo change, like mergers, divestments, and reorgs, are one of the few things where the C-suite can feel important. It gives them something to do, issue a press release about, and give interviews to the BBC.

Unlike those other things, it's hard to prove it was a mistake. Maybe over time, sales fall off and prestigious authors migrate to other publishers, but if you approved the new logo, you can find a hundred other things to blame for that.
Yes. Thank you. I'm not very up to date with politics and what I wrote above is just my observation as a voter.
Early reddit was very similar to HackerNews. One front page where users submitted interesting links and stories. Then slowly subreddits started to get introduced, like "/r/science", "/r/programming", and "/r/atheism". Already very early people didn't like this change and created /r/TrueReddit. Read their rules and you can see how similar to HN this is "only interesting stories", "do not editorialize the original title" etc. However even /r/TrueReddit shifted heavily towards politics (i.e. short by top -> all time and see which stories get most upvotes). After that /r/TrueTrueReddit for people who were trying to maintain the same spirit. But it is dying now more or less.

Many many small changes had to happen before it downgraded into what we see today [0].

I would be fine with getting rid of tips if we could get our labor laws up to the standards of the rest of the world, but until then we’re going to have tips.
You dont need wechat either when theres more popular alipay. Or unionpay / jdpay. Even social credit doesn't deny essentials. It sucks not having wechat but even that's a matter of getting new sim+account. I'm not trying to draw equivalency. Just musing how shitty dealing with google is.

>Frankly, objectively speaking, the new logo is much better from a design perspective whether the author likes it or not.

Disagree fam, I think you drank too much of the kool-aid. A logo ought to above all communicate about the brand and now I'm gonna mix up OUP with Apeture Science.

My point is not that you're wrong, but rather that design is firmly in the land of opinion and your staunch 'objectivity' is bankrupt. I hope you didn't pay anyone to acquire that opinion.
Dagger Python SDK: Develop Your CI/CD Pipelines as Code
I'll reiterate: the resolution is an answer to a question of whether it is true that "if a coffeeshop wants to pay their employees more they will have to raise prices".

If you have a defense (or a response where the phrase "in practice" appears anywhere, really), then that's a separate matter, but it does not follow strictly from the matters presented that the coffee shop "will have to raise prices" in order to pay their employees more. That's, in fact, a stronger claim than the factorable defense that the author (and others who make the same argument) is depending on.

In other words, both "have to" and "can't" are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

>If people running a drive-thru for 12h without a break don't deserve tips, I don't see why the people pouring coffee in a trendy cafe like the author describes would.

Exactly why I don't tip at coffee shops or to-go places. For waiters and delivery guys, that's part of the deal. But I guiltlessly hit 0 everywhere else.

I'm only not even sure who gets the tips at some places. Like I go pick up a to-go order and I tip 10 bucks. Who is getting it? The person who packed it up? The person who handed it to me? The boss? I have no clue.

I think it’s actually pretty easy. Look at any county voting map. Prevailing party vote tracks population density without fail. American politics has turned into “The country mouse and the city mouse”.

Exception proving the rule. Yes, sometimes for something as deep as adding currency you do just need to fully refactor BUT I think you're still doing it in the spirit of "One Problem At a Time" You were adding currency, not adding currency AND updating the date library AND touching up the unit testing mocking AND adjusting that CSS for the checkout button (or whatever equivalent).

You already can render markdown. It shows as what it is: text.

If you want to render markdown as something else, you need to define what that other thing is. If you're suggesting we render it as a webpage, well webpages are made of HTML and CSS--so you're saying you want to render markdown as HTML/CSS.

We can already do that. There are a plethora of tools available to do that.

She's talking about the strength of an individual's immune system. She doesn't seem to be talking about herd immunity or how the pandemic has potentially changed population dynamics.

For example, "debt" could be referring to the fact that many people might've already gotten [insert infection name here] over the last couple of years, but they did not, and now there's an increased number of people who don't have immunity to it compared to a world where there not been a pandemic. The fact that this was ignored almost seems misleading given that she claims to be an immunologist.
I like to skim article titles & read the most valuable of the articles in my RSS reader(s) on my phone (with Handy News Reader from f-droid.org, once I got used to all the settings to make it work the way I want, or maybe NewsBlur if you don't mind their freemium model, or other apps), or on a PC; from a variety of sources that can change over time (which can include google news on some different topics, or a variety of other sources with different political leanings or more neutral). It is how I read HN, also.

This gives much flexibility and control vs. going to a single web site. I can even read the comics on Sundays.

Here is another perspective on reading a variety of sources (which, ironically, I found via google news): https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/08/kevin-olearys-daily-morning-...

And some prior discussion: https://www.google.com/search?hl=eo&gbv=1&q=replacement+for+...

Of course, one has to prioritize use of time and not be unduly distracted by the wide variety of sources that are available. Also deciding carefully whom to trust by identifying humans and observing behavior over time.
