I feel like it's the opposite. This was caused by the destruction of individualism.

When people are individuals, you know the name of your butcher and which farm your wheat came from. Now it all comes from the collective and you can't participate in the process without being a drone. Working for Walmart is not the same as operating your own farm stand. You lack autonomy because decisions are made collectively by corporations and legislators, and that makes everything bland, homogeneous and fungible.

The banks' mortgage is the fact that there's evidence that you have the productivity to service said mortgage.

If you cannot show evidence that such a mortgage can be serviced, the bank will not lend you money. Lending isn't free - there's risk involved.

Calling it passive income with little to no effort is just hiding the work that went on previously. You only see the results, and not the work that went into achieving it.

I live in Silicon Valley so can speak from experience. Typically one person pays for everything (and gets the CC points) then sends everyone a picture of the receipt and requests the exact amount of money owed, often given via Venmo or the likes. Whoever used the salsa pays the person who paid for the entire meal the precise amount.

Never used a credit card before?

Why are credit cards regulated pretty strictly for this, but these loans aren't? That doesn't sound like personal responsibility to me... that sounds like regulation doing its job...
From the link they posted, the guide says to forward the port to any unused IP address, like 192.168.1.252. I think this effectively causes an attacker's traffic to get dropped.
I’m sure that’s just to cover printing/binding cost? You run into this a lot.. the information is free, but the govt is able (perhaps in some cases required) to charge reasonable fees for actual costs.
Mathematics isn't a science because it's deductive: It has absolute truths, and ways to derive new truths from those truths, recursively. Science, on the other hand, is empirical and thus inductive, and thus has no access to truth (problem of induction) and can only improve models based on observation.

Science uses mathematics to work out the implications of precise prediction-generators (often called laws) and check them for logical consistency, but mathematics itself has nothing to say about any world outside of the one generated by its axioms.
No it's not a great point. It's a point made to distract from the real issue. It's a debate tactic.

If you read the conversation carefully I'm trying to discuss the fundamental nature of the professions, not the specific products they are building or selling. That was something paulcole brought up.

The fundamental nature of sales and marketing is manipulating people for personal gain. You could be selling hugs or whatever warm and fuzzy product you can imagine, but at the end of the day the sales person's job is to be the best people manipulator they can be.

And I've seen it countless times through my career. I've met many sales people, I've sat in on sales calls, and I've heard them discussing their trade. It's honestly disgusting.

On the other hand, the fundamental nature of engineering is building things. It's bringing something new into the world. It couldn't be more different from sales and marketing.
> If your NAT router/gateway keeps this port open and you are sure you want to filter it (potential interference with ISPs pushing firmware updates), try the following.

Over a decade ago, I had to accept that I'll never be the best at anything or even better than huge swaths of people in my line of work or in my hobby, and that's perfectly okay. There's only one best in the world. Most people who play basketball will never ever come close to the NBA. Setting out with failure in mind (even when you're not in pursuit of perfection) is great. Pointless, dumb play is amazing.

When I was a kid, I didn't compare my Lego play time with others. Or the time I spent riding my bike down a hill and jumping off it onto the grass to professional stunt performers.

I thought neither mathematics nor engineering is strictly science. Engineering utilizes scientific knowledge to solve complex problems, but its purpose isn't to make scientific discoveries through hypothesis testing. It's interesting, though, that new artificial scientific disciplines (e.g., theory of how quantum computing works) occasionally spin out of engineering projects.
I admit to not being in the know around the chess scene, but I find references to Gary Kasparov being confident as recently as 2017 that human+computer outperforms computer alone.

When you remember that the DoD is really just a $800B jobs program for segments of the population that would otherwise blush at accepting welfare (including many of the fine commenters on this website), it becomes easier to understand why it's culturally incapable of passing a financial audit.
mate honestly that sounds like you're cutting off your legs to save your toes.

Half a second seems roughly right. An exact answer depends on the car's power band and other more complicated factors. You'd expect an extra 2-8 inches, and if the interesection were a bit wider and slower so that you had 1.0 seconds you'd expect an extra 16-64 inches. Also, on such small timescales the engine's responsiveness would come into play, and it's unclear if the tuned package would affect that for sure, but it'd be hard for it not to.

2-8 inches probably won't give you better odds of any meaningful outcomes beyond an extra few percent. 16-64 inches could easily be the difference between a miss and a crash (especially if the red-light runner swerves or counting the selection bias in which distribution of possible strike zones you're likely to have predicated on the assumption that accelerating was a reasonable course of action), or would very likely be the difference between an extremely dangerous collision with the driver's door and something more reasonable toward the back of the car (worse with kids in the back -- thankfully for the purpose of this discussion, only 15% of cars in the US have passengers).

And if I need to sign in on another device, I can't use that platform authenticator, as it's tied to that device. So I'd have to either have another WebAuthn authenticator, or use a fallback method like TOTP or SMS, which defeats the whole point of using only WebAuthn. And most people won't go and buy a hardware authenticator. So like I said, WebAuthn is only now just starting to become viable for the average person to use instead if TOTP.
If you go through my comment history, you'll see that I am critical of the CCP for many of the reasons you've listed.

It's like they played a game of Jenga that got out of hand

-- Karl Pilkington
In minerals and energy the assumnption is rarely that "demand is fixed" ..

Population and per capita consumption have both increased for more than a century so the long term data is hard on the side of "demand relentlessly increases" (for major mineral demands and for energy supplies).

The logic here behind this ruling is that within the global thermal coal market it appears that demand is levelling and peaking, coal is on the nose, and thermal coal demand will start to fall within the decade.

That's based up such things as (say) the Standard & Poor (of SP100 fame) 2022 global coal forecast report.
"The Pentagon" is the standard metonym for the DoD, similar to "The White House" for POTUS. So it's about the DoD as a whole.

Imagine if an intersection was shut down for 3 weeks, or maybe 3 decades. Every night, it threw the best party you’ve ever attended in your life. Instead of being a place where you commute every morning and think about how cool it would be to quit, that intersection becomes the place you meet your best friends, or make the happiest memories of your life.

My point was more that WebAuthn is starting to become a more viable option for the average person, with phone based authenticators that can be used to authenticate on multiple devices and keeps your keys backed up. I wouldn't use Google sync for WebAuthn myself either.

which is what makes it cheap and available.

If you ran your own farm stand, the goods you produce would be some 2-5x more expensive than a factory farm could've sold for.

The modern wealth is predicated on such specialization and scaling. It's why artisanal products are so expensive.
I won't say a lot about the credit card industry...
But the one thing they have going for them is that you can't get a credit card without someone with good credit bringing you along.

Who do you consider users? I can't think of anyone I know who'd want to do that. Myself, a techie, included.
Order takeaway - it's perfectly acceptable with the right framing. We have people around quite regularly and I like cooking, but still defer to takeaway at times: you're busy, or getting home from work too late to cook, heard about a new restaurant and wanted to see how their [dish] compared to others.

Don't overthink it. If you start early, have a drink first. If you want people to move to the table, say "Hey - I'm starving. Let's sit and eat!" My step-mother-in-law, literally every dinner she hosts says after initial chitchat, "Can I interest you in a cleansing ale?" Haha.

If you're nervous about what you've made, say "This is the first time I've made this, so apologies in advance!" If you don't know what to start with, just buy good bread and good oil or fancy butter and no one is going to execute you for that - all you have to do then is slice the bread. Save any pressure for the main meal. For dessert, break out a fancy block of chocolate and make a "Laboured all day over this" joke. Amongst friends, no one gets fussed about this.

You could literally say, "You know, I've never hosted anyone for dinner. I made a resolution to get comfortable doing it and the year's almost over. I'm trying to get 2-3 people together for a practice run."

Or to a sociable person you have some rapport with: "I have a couple of friends I'd like to have around for dinner but honestly, I'm pretty hopeless and have no idea what I'm doing. Assuming you know what you're doing, can you show me through it?"

Or find another hapless rookie and give it a shot together. Promise each other it will be an awkward disaster, so the only way is up.

There's actually another air space that you need to equalize while diving — the inside of your scuba mask. Don't forget to add air to it as you go deeper, or that thing will awkwardly squish your face.

It would be more accurate to say "suck out" rather than "squish". The pressure is lower in the mask. So the cavity acts like a vacuum trying to pull out your eyeballs.

Yes, the ridge of the mask may feel like it's crushing into your face (and cause bruising to the soft tissues it contacts), but I gather the broken capillaries and bruising in your eyes from the suction are what pose the bigger risk.

The condition is called mask squeeze (or facial barotrauma) and I experienced it once shortly after I got a Hydro Optix mask, which has a larger volume of air compared to normal masks. It was before I appreciated how much extra air you need to blow out through your nostrils while equalizing it, and occurred on a descent that went a little faster than I preferred as I was paired up with a less experienced diver who had some initial buoyancy issues and I decided to stick with her in case she needed help rather than slow my own descent.

It was scary at the time (eyes got bloodshot red like a vampire), but the good news is most cases heal up fine with time.

The Hydro Optix is a great mask if you use it right (shame they went out of business), and SCUBA is an incredibly rewarding sport if you train properly and stick within your capabilities (happy to say that diver doubled down on the sport instead of giving up, got some more training, and now has hundreds of dives under her belt and is a highly competent divemaster).

Good reminder if you feel pain while diving to listen to it and surface to figure out what's wrong. Don't be tempted to power through.
> In more community-oriented societies, personal earnings are less important than a strong network of friends and family who can fulfill every need.

and as this community grew, accounting for such "favours" between friends/family become more important, and thus, the need for unit of accounts - aka money. You'd end up replicating the current system when given long enough time and a large enough community.
I think she's willing to entertain multiverse conversations too but the point is if there's no way to test their existence then believing in them is not a scientific position.
Civil disobedience is not about ignoring the law because it’s inconvenient and hoping you get away with it. It’s about breaking the law publicly and accepting the punishment to show the injustice of the law.
That is not true. General relativity concerns itself with mass, and gravitational waves are function of mass.

Quark stars have plenty of mass, why would you think they would not generate gravitational waves? I don't understand what you could be thinking of.

In fact a black hole would make things more complicated because of the infinite time dilation.

If anything gravitational waves are evidence for extraordinarily massive objects, but against black hole singularities with their problematic infinite time dilation.
This post is more than ten days old. Twitter has only gotten better. Why can't people exercise some discipline while running their mouths? If only to embarrass themselves less.
I think an additional thing being missed in loneliness, as described by the article, is that it doesn't consider that talking to someone via text chat or phone call is not that different in terms of fulfilling social interaction needs.

By the article's definition, I'm an extremely lonely person because I very rarely physically spend time with others.

But looking at pure social interaction, I speak to all of my family for hours every week and have been essentially constantly talking with a couple of online friends (who also share my interests very closely) for several years now, which would be completely unrealistic in-person. So I get lots of social interaction and it's all the sort that I really value. As a result I wouldn't really consider myself to be lonely.

Even when I did have a mainly in-person friend group, it was hard to meet outside of school since everyone has their own things to take care of, so it was usually easier for everyone to just interact via more remote-friendly means.

> It’s not about fixing problems at a holistic level. It’s about creating means to “get” specific companies and organisations and individuals. It always has been.

Governments may complain about "Big Tech" having too much power, but in reality they love the amount of power, and how concentrated it is, as long as those who wield it are subservient to them.

Once the power is decentralised, and spread around the world (in jurisdictions they can't reach - which the author of the article doesn't seem to consider), then exercising the sort of control they are used to becomes a lot more messy.

I think that, on balance, that could lead to a better state of affairs, and I'm glad that federated ActivityPub instances have started to gain popularity just in time to shift the ecosystem before the OSB (or something worse) arrives.
Do you get the impression that a large number of HN readers work for the federal government or defense contractors? I certainly don't.

A good wake up call comment for founders. Maybe some human do it to themselves, reality of people don't accept technical solutions throwing at them, because some human behaviour prevents it.

Will do, thank you for the advice.
Let's consider a simplified example. When China cannot buy Australian coal, it must instead buy, let's say, Indonesian coal, which is more expensive. (Otherwise there would have been no need to consider Australian coal at all.) So that makes coal less attractive to China, reducing consumption and giving China more economic incentive to seek out alternative fuels.

Sounds like the policy would work exactly as intended. Anything missing?

I did this once for a Microsoft account created under a relative's email address. I did a password reset and marked it for deletion, but whoever created the bogus account managed to get back in before the deletion request was processed. Now the email address is verified with Microsoft and not under my control whatsoever, with a phone number presumably for 2FA. :(

I figure the only chance I have to fix this is to get a job at Microsoft and go knocking on some doors...

Plenty work for companies that contract with the DoD, even if they are non "defense contractors" in the historical/industry scope sense. Google and Amazon, for example, do brisk business with the DoD.

And, to be clear: I don't have any particular problem with that, at least any more so than anything about the general business of defense! I'd just prefer we be a little more honest about the financial structure.
