about 6 months ago i just stopped ordering physical products online entirely.

i noticed that i was needing to return way too much of the stuff i ordered.

clothes sizes were completely wrong or the material was just cheap.

cords and other accessories were cheap or just plain the wrong item.

household items _really_ didn’t match the pictures. scale was all wrong, etc…

it’s just so much easier to walk into a store, actually touch the product and literally walk away with it immediately knowing that it’s what i wanted.

it’s also just nice to be out and about.

i suppose im lucky that i live in a populated area and have physical stores i can go to tho. a lot of people don’t have that option.

it really is frustrating how low online shopping has sunk. but the amount of deception shops have turned to online is just an awful experience.
I don't use Twitter, what's wrong with Twitter's search that it needs a rewrite?
Also, you're self-aware enough to ask if it's you or not, without an obvious bias towards it not being you. That makes me think you're doing pretty good.

Empathy and a desire to be a better human are underappreciated values in this industry. I’ve made this a pillar of interviewing at companies I’ve worked at over the years; it’s better to hire kind people with a capacity for growth and skills in the right direction than to hire folks with all the necessary skills and experience at the time of hire but with poor social skills or a lot of dogma.
This article is extremely incorrect in looking at inequality as the reason to try and address this. What the ceo is paid has nothing to do with what the average worker is paid and it is incorrect to look at this as problematic from that perspective. What is important is that both the worker and the ceo get paid what they would get in a competitive market and that competitive market is completely different because it is completely different work.

This kind of splitting indicates two potential things here and only one of them is concerning/needs addressing. First of all, the wages could be splitting because the labor market characteristics of the two jobs changed. This is completely reasonable given the increased foreign competition faced by the lower 3/4 or so of the labor force, as well as the increasing immigration pushing labor prices down for that labor cohort. The second thing that could be going on, and is concerning, is ceo board capture being abused to increase compensation beyond a competitive ceo wage. This is also believable because most of these big companies have no single large shareholder to push back on ridiculous wage proposals and the mechanics of how voting the shares works means management suggestion is very likely to be approved so the board is often at the whim of the CEO far more than they should be. Only this second cause needs some action to resolve (although I don't have a good recommendation on what that action would be).
Not exactly. Credit creation creates an asset and a liability. The creation of credit facilitates the ability to create liabilities in excess of the underlying asset (e.g fractional reserve banking).

By introducing the ability to transfer a scarce asset globally you resolve the requirement for credit, as no one ever needs to redeem.

Credit is a hack, Bitcoin is the fix.

That there is confusion just emphasizes that the term therapeutic vaccine needs more education around it.

When I think of vaccines, I think of something that’s preventative - regardless of the mechanism. Even the coming “Lyme Disease” vaccine is still preventative though it’s more of a tick bite vaccine.

Someone please school me.

Why is it a therapeutic vaccine - what’s wrong with calling it a treatment?
The homeless population (including those in shelters and cars) is < 1% of SF's population. Even if they used products at the same rate as the rest of the population and stole 100% of what they used, they would be responsible for less than half of retail shrinkage.

Infinite fractional zoom levels, right thanks.
My family became suddenly very poor when I was in highschool and then in the first years of me going to uni. Like living in a half-finished house in the countryside with no electrical power for a couple of months-poor (when things had really become bad).

That was happening 20 to 25 years ago, and in the meantime I have managed to attain a middle-class status, sort of (I still don't own an apartment, never mind an actual house), enough to say that I can't complain about my present financial situation.

Even so, I'm fully and acutely aware that my choices alone wouldn't have made all that possible. I also needed luck, lots of it, and the presence of people whom had no obligation to me whatsoever, at least on paper, but who nevertheless helped me at some crucial points in my past. Yes, it was my choice to make good on that help and to take advantage of some of the luck I had, but, again, my choices alone, without said luck and without those people that have helped me would have meant nothing.
Wow v2 seems worse than v1.5.
In most companies the people who stick around will turn out to be the mediocre workers. Which is fine. Not everywhere needs to be staffed with the second coming of von Neumann’s. But the pattern is generally that competent people will leave unless you pay them enough to put up with shit. There is no shortage of companies in big metropolitan areas that will pay you better. In smaller areas, sure this pattern breaks and good workers may stay on to hold onto their job.

>south of Wales were in a terrible state.

South of Wales benefitted greatly from EU funds. From renovating coal tips to employment schemes. I don't understand your point here, it was the EUs fault that the UK had run down regions... even though the EU gave them money????

>The UK has blamed Europe for it's ills for 40 years. Remainers/rejoiners are still centered on this

This makes no sense at all

Small amounts let you gather up enough capital to reduce the negative impact of emergencies.

People who don't have thay ability make mistakes when emergencies inevitably come around.

Those 10$ a week after a year is enough to make up a small car repair, or problem with your paycheck.

Just last year I had an issue where my paycheck was short 1000$, because I wasn't spending everything as it came in, it wasn't a problem. I had a big enough buffer in income and emergency funds to make up for it.

If it had happened to my colleague who doesn't save up, he would have had to get a payday loan to put food on his families table.

That's how people stay poor.
I try to patronize the original vendors. The large markets like Walmart and Target squeeze their suppliers hard to widen their margins. So if everything's about equal, I'd rather go to the source, especially if it's a mom and pop so they get a larger cut of the same money.
I played with this a bit, and found that it seems to give the wrong results. Check out:

Great project!

I have a question - how can you afford to run this? I looked at the server costs on google compute and runpod.io, and the ones with GPUs powerful enough to run SD are pretty expensive. I'm guessing you don't have a lot of paying users at the beginning, so I don't think you have enough revenue to cover the costs (at least when you're just getting started).

Do you just spend a lot of money to fund this, and hope that once you have enough users it will pay for itself? Or did you find some affordable way to run a server? If yes, and if it's not a secret - where are you renting the server, what are its specs, and how much does it cost?

The first time I tried writing a C++ program with templates (very early on, like mid-late 90s), the compiler error messages were longer than the little program I was trying to write. It put me off on the language and the compiler so much that I went back to plain C and off into Perl and other languages, and never really got back to it.

I'd wondered if someone figured out how to turn deodorant into meth, since they started protecting it like Sudafed even after Sudafed was removed from the Sudafed boxes sold as Sudafed (phenylphrine is not pseudoephedrine and is not effective).

Sudafed, baby formula, deodorant, and razor blades, together could sound like a Jesse Pinkman shopping list before he found a high school chemistry teacher to help him.

At the same time, since nobody is making retail chains put lock boxes on the deodorant aisle, shrinkage best meets Occam's razor. Or would if it hadn't been shoplifted.
The instant pot's value is the automation. Yes, you can achieve the same results with a stovetop pressure cooker or even a regular pan/pot. You will be spending more of your time on it because if you don't pay attention, adjust the heat, turn it off after 20 minutes, etc. you will end up with a mess or worse on your stove. Regular induction cooktops and ovens are starting to get similar features where they can be set on a timer, sense the temperature of the food, etc. It may not seem like much, but it's very important because it saves people time and makes more of the manual housework optional.

Crypto is regularly turning up on HN with tides of negative comments, including people calling for it to be banned. We've got this article theorising how it will go to zero, including calls for it to be banned. This isn't a usual response for people who just think that a technology is not worthwhile.

I'm sure people are genuine in their beliefs, but the aggregate response is unusually ferocious.
There's a bunch of paywalled features of nginx, like healthcheck-based load-balancing, that caddy has out of the box. Caddy also (IIRC) has experimental support for QUIC and has a directory view. There's others too but I'd have to trawl the nginx docs for them and I'm being lazy. The healthcheck-based load-balancing thing is a big deal for us at $WORK because we ended up having to write our own code to handle this instead of use nginx to avoid paying for nginx.
You're saying we shouldn't bother looking at history because one side wasn't successful? I don't get this argument.
The classic tetris scene has been crazy lately. Rolling (the name of the new strategy) allows players to easily play past the "kill"screen of level 29. Classic tetris matches are becoming endurance matches and we're seeing new records broken left and right of highest score and highest level in both PAL and NTSC versions. For Classic Tetris World Championships they're considering adding a second killscreen by editing the rom to limit the length of matches.

"You know, those $500k a year are nice and all, but what I really want is $125k, job security and someone who makes sure only union members are allowed to plug in network cables."

Engineers are making large amounts of money, that's why they don't care about unions.

Genomics is where I started learning how to program. Having worked as bench scientist in a genetics lab I understood nothing about my lab mates research when they were showing me python scripts of their analysis. Which initially got me curious.

Working with genomics technology is too far away from the money to become rich from. There are too many middlemen in-between technology and application.

But it's a fun subject, and as the technology develops, middle layers will disappear and then the money from expertise will become better.

The number of people that are both capable software developers and has a good understanding of cellular biology are quite few and will probably remain so for the foreseeable future.

Yes, field termination is mostly for permanent installations, but luckily, there are also proper "industrial" connectors that are field terminable. Such as Harting's PreLink M12 connector:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35DKv6bhadI

When I say "industrial", I mean for home use, of course. There is obviously a lot of potential for a more robust yet cost effective and practical connector for home use. Field termination being no excuse. First off, even metal 8P8C connectors have plastic tabs. If single-pair ethernet ever takes off, the "industrial" M8 push-pull connector seems a good one.

It wont add credibility for documentary for sure.

I don't know why we cannot have serious approach in this otherwise serious topic.
Your comment doesn't refute my comment.

It's true they removed Sudafed from most (by and large all, except by request) boxes labeled Sudafed (sub-labeling them Sudafed PE), and PE is not effective. Many consumers never realized, and even if they do, they generally do not realize the substitute doesn't really work.

Thanks to https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/pseudo-brief112013.pdf in most states you cannot buy it off the shelf yourself (only behind the counter and often with ID), some locales it's prescription only, and it's only this year that Oregon started letting you get it without a prescription again:

Realize probably no one is after you and even if you stop all those privacy measures you're probably never going to be in danger

Having a social media is healthy for personal life and work. But have accounts with different emails, names, etc... for political, activism stuff and anything that could be controversial. Keep things separate, giving surveillance capitalism a small and "clean" identity is a good privacy measure

Tor browser is a ready solution to browse anything anonymously

Also you have to think maybe you don't want to give private data to everyone, but for example long term health data from a lot of people, in the right hands, could help you and help others

Maybe start thinking about shared solutions that would help sharing of useful data to be safer and accessible for everyone especially those around you

I have found that a life of sports has prepared me well for a life of work. Growing up, I got used to "trying my best" and still losing for various reasons

- opponent way better than me

- had a bad day / off my game

- unlucky for some reason

What I learned then that has carried into work is that I can try super hard, and still things won't go my way. What I started focusing on in sports was my AVERAGE game. I kept trying to improve my average over months, and years, and that helped me avoid focusing on down days.

The same applies for work. I give it my best, and I try hard, but there are days, even weeks sometimes, where I struggle to do much of anything. I just accept that I will have powerful weeks too (and I do). Be calm, and move on.
