Swede here. Yes, I've heard of it and have witnessed it, but I'd say it's extremely uncommon (bordering “unheard of”) among people under the age of 80. In Sweden it's practiced mainly in the north.

Highlighting some ancient ritual and making it sound like it's a part of everyday life is typical for this kind of journalism.
Now that's what I call... a pithy response.
A friend of mine bought IEMs with a microphone (Moondrop Chuu) and it would pick up radio frequencies that you could hear through a voice call. These didn't end up fixing it, I suspected it was bad grounding but we never ended up solving what the root cause was.
So does each type of item have its own designated spot on the shelf or is it figuring out the item identity based on weight?
You're got it backwards, that's the "urban America interpretation of fascism".
Thank you.

In software we all see the abuses of copyright and patents, so I can understand why you rail against them.

You have again used the term "legal fiction" which I translate to "a law you don't like". What is a legal non-fiction? Our laws are rules. All rules ultimately only exist in our minds except rules (or sub-dependencies) imposed upon us by a god or the universe.

> Trying to control your use of [a John Deere tractor] after the sale by abusing IP law.

That control doesn't require any IP law at all: DRM can be equivalently enforced by private contracts and/or a secret that is too difficult to reverse engineer (recent gaming consoles). John Deere can negotiate a private contract with you that you must use their parts and service agents. Surely that is a likely outcome of a properly free market?

> Property rights (like the rights to life and liberty) are inalienable.

I think that statement is too vague to have any real meaning. Inalienable just means something like "very important rule" or perhaps "meta-rule". Property rights includes intellectual property rights (its all just rules).

Your rights to life and liberty sometimes conflict with my rights to life and liberty. Laws and wars can result from compromise and conflict.

Thank you for explaining your position better. I admit I am struggling to see internal consistency with your definitions. I guess I am mostly responding to you because I tend to read your comments as short political soundbites, and I prefer more comments with deeper explanations of any point someone is trying to make. I sincerely appreciate your time in giving me more detail.

I actually expect we are mostly in broad agreement.

Perhaps I would tend to give inaliable rights a higher priority than you? Rights to property, life and liberty need to be encoded in the legal constraints that restrict free markets in unobvious ways. Adding fair legal constraints is tortuous. Even more difficult is avoiding regulatory capture and other tricks that work against our inaliable rights, or give unfair advantages to some groups or individuals.

Compromises are grey. Good engineering is making good compromises. Good lawmaking is equally about making compromises, but is much harder than engineering because the outcomes are more abstract, the measurements are harder, and there is more historical and political baggage.

I mean, this flatly contradicts this line in the CLA:

> Except for the license granted herein to Grafana Labs and recipients of software distributed by Grafana Labs, You reserve all right, title, and interest in and to Your Contributions. [emphasis mine]

You can always use the version of the code your contributions went into. You still own the code you wrote, and still retain the rest of theirs under its original license. You're just not entitled to future versions of the source like a copyleft license without a CLA would grant.

I understand not being excited to serve corporate interests (that's what a CLA does), but posting intellectually uncurious flamebait as a result makes for boring reading.

If you need robot arms and computer vision, it sounds then like permaculture is impractical at scale necessary for replacing standard agricultural practices.
Which creates a conflict when you are already being paid for your time by the employer whose custom is being sought. So I’m not sure that is an ethical blank check on vendor gifts.
If you ever get a chance, a blog post about the build, software, and pitfalls would be awesome. I'm thinking about building something like this as our toddler gets older and we start to do longer day outings in a wagon.
I won't speak for anyone else but sometimes "bugs" in more about process than code. I have a similar project as the GP and am not currently interested in open sourcing the project because there's a lot of bespoke elements and manual setup process. I don't want to have to make a README describing all the process steps that make my code actually useful.

For me, on my hardware, on my network, I've got a process that works. It's a non-zero amount of effort to generalize the description of that process.
Yeah sorry, that's what I'm getting at. The most optimal way to get many supplies now is solely through bossing rather than actually doing the skills. These bosses also drop huge piles of them so their prices have crashed like crazy (herb seeds are one big example)

Runes were the outlier before the rc minigame was added. Bloods have crashed like crazy the past year, nature runes are almost at alch value, which is kinda funny

You would think so, but the Republicans have been trying to kill USPS for decades, and have managed to pass laws which both mandate that it pay for itself without taxpayer dollars, and hamstring its ability to be profitable. Some of these hamstringing measures were temporarily removed in 2022 as an emergency measure, but the USPS remains without a guarantee of stable funding in the future.
Capital isn't scarce. Seems like we will just revert to good old fashioned debt as the thing that funds new companies in lieu of VCs taking the risk. Getting 4-5x over the life of a fund is going to be way harder in higher interest rates.
What is the point of saying that? Are you trying to get people to give up and accept ecological collapse?

Nowhere did I say humans are a foreign entity. I said our existence does harm to ecosystems all over the globe. That is a fact. We also, uniquely, have the ability to choose* whether or not we do that harm, which oxygenating bacteria did not. So here I am, advising someone to do less harm because doing harm causes them pain, and you're saying... what? That choosing to counteract the harm we've done is foolish and illogical? That makes no sense.

Cool. So... this and similar things are in wide use, in preference of degree requirements, since it's largely Griggs-related concerns driving the rise in degree requirements, and employers would prefer to just use tests like this?

If not, well, guess that's not a major driver of the phenomenon.
True denim is deeply uncomfortable when it's brand new. Anybody 50 or older will remember having to break in stiff pants that left blue marks on your thighs. Pre-washed jeans are a lot more comfortable on the first day.

These days jeans always include at least some stretchy fibers. And I get the impression that many aren't even really broken in; the color patterns are woven into them to mimic that look.

Now, literally pre-ripped pants... that I'll admit seems like a real waste. I can offer no defense for that.
I’ll tell you what your doctor might not be telling you:

- 30 minutes of cardio, 3x a week is a bare minimum. The more cardio the better, so consider endurance sports.

- Resistance training is necessary too, and can be done at home with no equipment

- Get at least 10 minutes of sunlight right after you get up or right after the sun comes rises, even if it’s cloudy, if possible

- Don’t drink more than 2 drinks in a day

- Try to reduce stress as much as possible

- Get plenty of sleep

- Cut out digital distractions

- In general try to eat as many natural foods as you can, especially more fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating chemicals if you can, hydrogenated oils, etc.

Now you’ve heard it, as well as everyone else reading this thread. It’s up to you to do it. But odds are, for the most part, you’ve heard it before and don’t need reminding.

If you’re confused about any of the details on this list, you are all people who are in the top quartile (at least) in learning things on the internet, and can figure the rest out yourselves.

Yes, that due to the higher confidence of a real person using an Apple device with a paid iCloud+ account as well as the simple fact that Private Relay uses Cloudflare underneath to route much of the traffic (as well as other networks).

Yeah car stuff is very funny.

In the grand scheme of things past a certain income level as a lump sum cost, they are not a large expense compared to housing. Nor is their monthly cost if financed particularly expensive next to the ongoing forever cost of insuring, fueling/charging, maintaining and garaging them.
Nor is driving around in a relatively decent & recent model vs trying to keep an old model in working order with all the maintenance costs.

If you make 6 figures / live in a HCOL area, then the difference in a $25k or $40k or $50k car over the course of a 10 year life is kind of whatever. The insurance, maintenance and gas/charge over that 10 years probably adds up to $30k at a bare minimum. Your house probably cost $1M.

Even if you trade-in every 4~5 years at the end of the warranty period to minimize random maintenance costs, then maybe you eat like $3-4k/year of depreciation during ownership.. again not a huge number to have a reliable, safe, modern car at all times.

The real outsized car costs are incurred with car nerds who max out on having more cars than drivers, and/or "upgrading" every year, constantly eating max depreciation.

Agreed. My personal laptop has 8GB of ram. It's fine for web browsing, sorta usable-ish for light development, but limiting for power use.

>As I have become older, I've also learned to be a bit suspicious of people who don't accept hospitality or insist weirdly on splitting down to the cent because it is a good indicator they are reserving some moral license to betray or otherwise screw you later.

This is a matter of background. In typical cliche style, I "grew up poor". Liverpool has some extremely poor areas. People try to have some dignity and don't like to accept what they feel is charity, and any generosity is usually seen as a gesture of trust and warmth by the person giving it.

E.g., someone "buys a round" of drinks for everyone in your group, then someone else buys the next round, then the next etc, but if you don't buy a round then you're considered rude. My problem is that I never liked to drink quickly, thus it could sometimes be misinterpreted as rude or negative.

Is it logical? No, not really, it's a cultural thing. Growing up poor, my family and friends had the sentiment that your own problems are your own problems and not anybody else's burden to carry.

I also hate getting birthday presents because I feel like someone felt obligated to give in to societal expectation, probably over-spent on something I probably won't like and spent too much time on picking it out.

Equally, I'm the guy that'd give you the shirt off his own back if it'd make you happy, and like to spoil others, but again, a lot of people grew up poor, I have made family and friends feel very uncomfortable at times by singling them out for special treatment.

That sentiment about people giving your their last penny or the shirt off their own back rings true for a lot of folks around here. Nobody wants to accept it though!

Social etiquette is a fucking complex tapdance, and with autism, I find it even harder lol.

It isn't my bias, but simply true I'm afraid that people in rural areas are (statistically speaking) less educated than those in urban areas. See for example https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/rural-economy-population/emp...

The education gap between rural and urban settings is a subject of much concern and unfortunately the tendency towards religious views has led to increased ignorance about sex as comprehensive sex ed is more likely to be rejected in rural areas replaced by "abstinence only" programs which result in higher rates of unplanned/teen pregnancy and even where comprehensive sex ed is offered, religious parents are much more likely to forbid their children from attending.
There is no reason at all to believe that the dozens of definitions that study used for "factory farm" fits the few ones stated on that wikipedia link. And there is no overwhelming problem that applies to all of the few definitions on your wikipedia link either.

I'm sitting on MLB data (converting it to a BigQuery warehouse), am also interested in this space. The challenge w/ MLB is randomness plays a larger element - most folks in the MLB gambling space prefer other leagues where an information advantage more directly translates to profits.
How about firearms? US Constitution said you had the right to own one, so the law should be the same for muskets and RPGs? I know it's an ongoing debate in the US ;-)

Also, Bitcoin was made to be an alternative to cash, not an alternative to banks. So it can be discussed that KYC/AML should apply.

Your comment broke this guideline: "Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

The topic of the article is a demographic study. You swerved directly into religious material itself. That's not the same topic at all. It's also flamebait because if you advocate your religious views in this way you will provoke others into advocating their religious views in an equally (let's call it) dedicated way, and off the cliff we will go. This isn't hard to predict.

We have tons of respect for people's religious views but this is a large public internet forum.
For 6 years I had a long distance relationship between Peru and Germany.

When you are in different timezones it can actually be nice to fall asleep with the other person "close" to you; so we kept Skype running while one of us went to bed and the other person was working on the PC.

Unfortunately the internet connection would regularly drop, ending the Skype call. Now you did not want to wake the other person by calling them.

So I wrote a small script that would allow you to send a secret word in the chat and invoke the other persons' Skype to call you instead automatically.

Kept our relationship healthy. Now we've been married for nearly 10 years and are happily living together :)
That is a slightly different issue. This would be like counterfeit steel being sold as of it were the real thing. Or direct-to-consumer horseshoes that will never arrive.

This may work in a traditional city like Paris; but selling this vision in L.A. is a tiresome and offensive ruse to line developers’ pockets by deleting parking requirements from building projects, and other handouts that reduce the quality of life for existing residents by shifting burdens onto them without commensurate rewards.

> So many shows are unavailable or different because of ridiculous licensing rules around music. Scrubs has several different versions of music, The Drew Carey Show is basically impossible to find because of music. If Congress wanted to ever do something pro-consumer, passing a law that ends all this nonsense around licensing and require all licensing to be delivery method agnostic. whether a show is premiering, a rerun, syndicated, streamed, or on DVD it should be the same show.

And everyone knows that answer will be: "nothing stops potential distributors from licensing music now and releasing originals, the fact they are not willing to pay is not copyright holders problem". And there's some truth to it, licensing costs back then were lower because they were time constrained. No one would pay more for broadly licensed music in throwaway series. No one knew they would have lasting impact on popculture.

In my eyes, if a bunch of different platforms have a reasonable degree of interoperability, and Mastodon is connected into that datastream, then Mastodon has won (and not doomed).

Because in the end, the federation allows people to take their toys and go home if they so choose, and the risk of being censured or "de-platformed" essentially goes away.

I think about email a lot in these conversations, and I remember when we used to have to set up sendmail and all sorts of other crap to have email. Now, sendmail has basically gone away, but we use email more than ever, and billions of people are still connected. Sendmail was that original structure that that broke apart the proprietary & enclosed email systems like CompuServe, Prodigy, AOL, etc.

To me, there are still issues with the email ecosystem today, but I don't lament sendmail's loss of market share, and I don't think of it as "doomed" but rather a huge success that spawned a massive industry. I think of AltaVista as doomed, because Google replaced it, and there was no shared or interoperable search ecosystem.

Does that make sense? Hard for me to put into writing without rambling.

EDIT: meant to add that I liked your article, and I could tell you put a ton of work into it.
While not directly related to your question, back in the day (like 2002-2003 or something) Jagex added fatigue in attempt to combat botting. The solution was an addition to the botting client that encoded the captcha image and dumped it into an IRC channel. There was a second client called Sleepwalker, iirc, that read the encoded captcha images from IRC, a user would type the captcha text, and the client would put the decoded text back into the IRC channel for the bot client to pick up and use. There was basically a credit system so you had to spend some time typing others captchas so yours would be decoded by others.
I agree.

Just to add that most people don't consider those licenses "open source", only "source available".

There are other possibility that is dual license, i.e. AGPL for everyone, but the business can buy a non AGPL version it they don't want to publish their secret sauce.

I'm not sure if someone is mixing the two approaches.
