How does a non technical manager know who is doing bad or good work? I wouldn’t want to work on a team where the person in charge of my compensation can’t understand if I’m doing decent vs. great work. Leads to the best folks getting frustrated and leaving over time. Mediocrity is all that will remain if manager’s can’t understand the work their team is doing and the obstacles they face.
> It's the basis of the entire system

No, it isn't. The Constitution is the basis of the entire system, and it defines the powers of the Federal government. The 10th amendment says:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
It's interesting to get a glimpse of these things inside of major corporations. At a former (BigTech Co) employer, Staff Software Engineer was equivalent to Director. I was not well received when I pointed out that we had a few dozen Directors in the engineering organization, but we only had less-than a dozen Staff Software Engineers, and half as many Principal Software Engineers. It didn't take me long to leave after having these conversations.
I think this is a fun idea, but it overlooks the fact that most farming tasks take skill. I think the owner would most likely end up with a trashed farm at the end of the season.
Thanks. I'd seriously take my kids out of schools like that. They shouldn't be scared about their sandwich is breaking "the rules", seems like it would breed low-grade paranoia in kids.

The only way I could imagine that we are superior to phone cameras is stabilisation, something that could be resolved with vertical integration that informs the sensors and image processing units about forces being applied to the vehicle (though this is coming from somebody outside the field so take it with many grains of salt).

I’m sure it would go down really really well if the DEA started arresting people for simple possession in states where it’s perfectly legal.
Your comment implies the US is somehow bound to this agreement for the making of federal laws. This is not the case and never has been.

It sucks how everything is a political football instead of just doing the right thing. They had full control and could have legalized it. But no, they keep holding onto just to drag voters along every election.
I’m more used to “while pin hot in the last devounceDelay consider held” approach. This double sleep method has a larger minimum for a given debounce delay and triggers multiple presses if you get any contact drops at all during a long hold. Not sure if there are other upsides I’m missing though.

Granted this isn't even a well-thought-out essay, it is someone trying to research a quote. I don't see that as click-bait.

To counter your point: do you refer to "Popular Science" as news? or "Scientific American"? Scientific reporting isn't "news" in the context of the OPs query. The implications or context would be though (like how much it cost from a budget and if it was worth it).

I'm sure you understand the point of the article because being on HN you are smarter than the average person, or are you mayyyybeee just trying to be click-baity yourself?
I self host, have been for more than a decade.
I started hosting at home (I had a fixed IP for some time) and moved on a cheap server I rent.
I use postfix, dovecot, opendkim with SPF, DKIM and DMARC enforced
I use Nextcloud for webclient and k9 on Android.

I wouldn't go back to use something else, what I much prefer:
- I'm in control of my email address which is at the center of most of digital life. None of the big provider are up to the task, they do not care at all about me, they do not care at all about the impact of their mistakes (if they decide to block me).
- I can manage my own backups much more easily
- I can monitor and troubleshoot (with a 3rd party you are totally blind when something doesn't work)
- I trust myself not applying any censorship (hotmail and gmail will take the decision to make email based on spam assumption disappear without any visibility from the user)

The downside:
- Depending on where you host your system, you can have some issue due to ip reputation. It is something to be careful with before setting up a server
- It requires a fair amount of testing, with different providers to ensure that your emails are delivered.
- It takes a bit of time. Not too much, but it is still a commitment as, when it goes down, it's quite problematic.
My girlfriend has problems with wheat. I suspect it has nothing to do with gluten, and may not actually be an allergic response at all, but when she eats wheat it definitely causes digestive problems. Ordering things gluten free is just an easy way to handle it.
This is unfortunately not true (for me anyway).

I have an alt gmail account that I used less frequently. 3.5 years ago I was abroad right after the first wave of COVID, and logging in from a new laptop (no longer have the old one). When I tried logging in with the correct password, it told me I needed to verify an SMS to an old phone number I haven't used in 10 years (7 at the time I suppose).

Every now and then I'll try logging in hoping they realize that the account is mine, since I have the password, and no one else is logging in (hopefully).

Unfortunately, nothing changes, I still get the requirement to verify with a second device, and I never configured a recovery email for that account.

One day I'm hoping someone will register the old phone number, and I'll be able to smooth talk them into passing the confirmation code to me.
Does it cross any boundaries of client-attorney confidentiality to say that you were someone's attorney or worked on a case? I don't believe so.
OP said, "Federal laws do trump state laws in most cases."

That is quite properly nuanced, and "in most cases" means "those cases where the Federal law is constitutional." SCOTUS rules on that issue all the time.
How does Prettyprinter print pretty?
In which case he’s even more wrong. Humans use a whole mess of different senses while driving, including hearing, the inertial sensitivity in the inner ear, touch to feel vibrations and from the car and the wheels on the road. Plus we have a huge amount of contextual information about the meaning of what we are seeing from life experience outside driving, which no Tesla that currently exists can ever have.

It’s a clever bit of snark, but absurdly wide of the mark. If that’s actuary what the Tesla engineers think, no wonder they’re failing by their own criteria so completely.
No, that is analysis and commentary of the news.
I do. I use postfix and dovecot. It's very simple to run. I always heard nightmares about your IP getting blacklisted and the big provides flagging your email as spam, but it's never happened to me.

Perhaps I’m missing it, but I see no attempt to quantify what proportion of foods are actually adding sesame in this way.

This could be happening at the margin, and the law could also on net be helping lots of people avoid allergens in the rest of the food that didn’t get adulterated.

If it’s 1/1000 products getting sesame added this story is likely a nothing-burger.

But yes, at the margin, actors are sensitive to incentives. This story provides a(nother) nice clear example of that, if one was wanting such.
> The basis of the free market is full information for all participants,

It’s not, and in fact it is opposite of truth. The reason, for example, why free market economy works better than centrally planned one, is precisely that obtaining full knowledge is impossible, so it is impossible to effectively centrally plan, whereas in market economy, each individual contributes their own private knowledge that is unavailable to other people, through participating in market and communicating it through price mechanism.

See, for example, Thomas Sowell’s “Knowledge and Decisions”, which is precisely about this point, or for more classic reference, Hayek’s “The Use of Knowledge in Society”. Again, to reiterate, the entire point of market economy is that nobody has full knowledge.
I absolutely hate not having peanut butter as an ingredient for my kids' lunches and snacks because the school forbids anything with peanuts in foods they bring to school. I understand the struggle of having a kid with special needs in schools--one of mine has autism and the other an as yet incompletely diagnosed neurological condition (could be epilepsy, could be mundane ADHD, could be both--we're still testing). The school must accommodate these conditions, but that accommodation doesn't require banning things or reorganizing every activity around their needs.

Your kid will be just fine if some other kid eats something with sesame in it, unless they're sharing, kissing, or fighting with their food.

I'd argue all those (except elections) are at least potentially advertising. It's not just from public interest that these things would get promoted. A space launch is a great example, look at the history of the space program, it's largely an advertising campaign.

Re elections, the real results are something that in many places lots of people will not want shared, and this is an important function of the press.

Yes, news publications have lots of facts like your examples they think people will want to read, but the core of news (as opposed to books or magazines) and the idea that the press gets a special place on society is definitely aligned with the quote

I'd actually further suspect that the quote rubs many people the wrong way now because of the whole "misinformation" thing where they actually want their "news" source to be a propaganda organ of their political alignment, rather than an actual unbiased reporter of facts
The article is investigating the history of the quote, something that is clear both while visiting their website or by looking at the source URL. All their articles are titled with the quote they are investigating.

"And honeybees, which easily become feral, may contribute to the decline of their wild compatriots. “There seems to be a lot of evidence that they share their viruses and parasites,” says Ponisio, adding that honeybees also can compete for food with wild bees. "

This is kind of the interesting part to me. Beekeepers seemingly will argue the opposite about this.
It doesn't work in practice, because a day of bad work by some non-trained city dweller will most likely do a lot more than 200$ of loss of income, if not straight damage.

The best answer would be to absolve them of liability if they properly state the cross-contamination risk.
you will simply kill the businesses and housing for anyone living nearby as a side effect. It's not an effective solution because it ignores actual second order effects. Just like toll roads, it will push traffic to other paths while making people who rely on that stretch of road end up paying more.

I live in a city where they decided parking downtown was too cheap because people were parking for too long. The effect was massive drop in business EVERYWHERE downtown. Why would I travel there to pay $25 to park while I shop? I'll just go shop elsewhere, where parking is free, and too bad so sad to the shops that go out of business because policy makers don't understand second order effects.

Now downtown is filled with empty parking and empty stores.
I wonder if splitting Google into two companies could help. One doing just search and one doing just ads, with the condition that payments between them must be fixed and independent of the volume of anything.
Absolutely true. I was thinking more along the lines of having people do manual labor that requires minimal training.
Seems likely a saying that was uttered in many newsrooms and misattributed multiple times as it spread for years.
Yeup, I wasn't implying white-collar jobs, or anything. Just the volume of people required to pull something like this off.
I feel validated for loving mcgilchrist's master+emissary now. Haven't read HDM in a looong time now, but it was formative for me, especially the bittersweet ending. The symbols and talismans captivated me.

Looking back, it's still masterful how it hangs together. As YA fiction, it has to be about blossoming sexuality. Monkey as id, relationship with animal as childhood-level affection, catholic repression in the first book (literally locking the animals away), then fighting god, overthrowing the authority figure to move into a mature understanding of love. The knife and universes as a metaphor for decision-making and branching lives (literally named Will).

Plus the ending dovetails wonderfully into the actual lived experience of the author, who spent all that time building a fantasy and has to let it go.

And I love the concept of the aliens in the last book, that use coconuts as wheels and travel on natural highways.
I don't like this topic, when this topic is scamming people.
Flower prices are dropping, and their cost is pretty close to fixed (with technology advancements representing a massive caveat).

Second Life on GitHub
The RSS 2.0.1 spec at https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html is essentially dead, or “frozen” / “settled” as it says there.

2.0.1 was published in 2003 and I don't expect to see a 2.0.2 or 2.0.3.

The ambiguities you mention are real, though. “The url must be an http url” is one that feed validators would adhere to very strictly, for example, rejecting HTTPS URLs as invalid[1], which even caused Apple's Podcast submissions process to reject feeds with HTTPS URLs in them at one point (I was employed at the time by a company that hosted podcasts, and we had to work around it by rewriting URLs to use HTTP).

I received a reply from the spec's author to my email suggesting they update the spec to clarify this (“of course you can use HTTPS”) but the spec itself was never updated and I would consider it unmaintained at this point.

Atom and JSON Feed are good alternatives. Atom because it has fewer ambiguities and JSON Feed because it has an open GitHub repo[2] and was updated in 2020.

> The poetry reading helps—but as a substitute for reviewing it is inefficient.

Anyone have any contemporary poetry recommendations?

> ...fewer people attend poetry readings in the United States than in Russia.

This is probably still true. I was surprised to discover that at music concerts (not pop, but the organisational jubilee variety) there are poetry readings in between the musical numbers.

A soviet classroom activity (which may or may not still be used in the RF) was to issue famous lines from classic poems to the class — and each student had to incorporate that line into a composition of their own.

Then again, russian peasants also had their answer to United States street vernacular tradition in the частушка: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBpY8w6X_JI

To get a list of plants that are native to your microclimate (based on 100+ years of surveys). You can filter based on shade, fire safety, bee and bird attractors, deer proof, whether they need to be watered, pruned, etc.

Then, buy some of those plants at a nearby participating nursery (which you can also find on that site).
Strong endorsement. I’m fine with pdftk except for rotating pages: it seems to be using annotations vs actually rotating the image in the pdf. I’m using some odd software that chooses to ignore these annotations and so even though I fixed the page orientation with pdftk in the source pdf, that software will still display it with the wrong orientation (and fail at ocr for that page)

I’m hoping pdfcpu does the right thing instead and actually rotates the image in the file.
It does exist in other forms with WWOOFing, farm stays, etc.. The problem is that while farm work looks simple, there are important skills that need to be developed before a volunteer or guest can be useful on the farm.

For example, my first WWOOFing gig asked for at least six weeks so that I could become somewhat useful and offset the costs of food and shelter.
I didn’t call you a pirate, I’m sorry I left that impression. I was talking about all the people who want to copy without paying and complain that they can’t. They are the people your whole argument is failing to address. I don’t know what you mean by “tolerable”, but you said explicitly that you’re not okay with any amount of time. That is, as you say, a very extreme position to take, one that assumes copyright doesn’t solve any problem, and despite all our talking I still haven’t yet heard any justification for it, even if you say you would reluctantly concede to leave a small term in place.
The civil war was not fought over slavery. The union chose to free the slaves because it hurt the south economically more than it hurt the north economically.

So your point is an entirely irrelevant argument about moving the goalposts past abortion to make a nitpicky argument around trust.

The entire point is that ultimately it's her body you're trying to dictate. Do you think the legislature has a vested interest in controlling what men do with their organs? Should they pass laws preventing men from tying their tubes because the legislature has a vested interest in keeping population growth high?
In the first episode of Tulsa King (which is on a streaming service, so I haven't watched any more of it), Sylvester Stallone is a mobster who gets out of prison after a long term, and is surprised to see a marijuana dealership. He realizes that they must keep a lot of cash, because banks won't deal with them.

So he sees his opportunity and becomes their "partner."

If it's a legal business, banks should not discriminate against the dealers. They're not selling fentanyl, after all.
It really depends on if we continue down personal car ownership or not. If not, then you can get pretty close to double throughput by appropriately sizing cars and lane splitting. Most trips are just the person without significant baggage. That can be handled by something like this:

https://electrek.co/2022/07/25/nimbus-one-50-mph-electric-ve...

Which is small enough to split lanes and double capacity.

It's also possible that with smart driving cars effectively everyone would be using an Uber like service. That makes it much easier to combine trips and put people into 4-12 sized car buses. If that comes to pass then going from mostly 1 person cars to that would multiply capacity many times.
You sure work hard to promote helplessness. Do you feel helpless?
> My comment is that making the 2024 election a referendum on legalization

My take is that most people don't see cannabis legalization as an important-enough issue. It's kind of "would be nice" issue that's overweighted by issues like economy, democracy, and immigration.

I'm not in the US, but that's my only explanation for why hasn't cannabis been legalized on the federal level yet, i.e. that people simply don't care enough about it to even be a part of the discussion.

It does suck, but it's what the system of democracy we currently have incentivizes.

I've kind of become a bit of a voting reform absolutist for this reason. Publicly funded elections, get rid of first-past-the-post plurality voting (and replace with approval, ranked choice, anything really), electoral college reform, Wyoming rule, etc.

If these problems were fixed, the incentives to solve the other problems are much more aligned.
