> If WH can't hire employees at a price point the market demands it won't operate - there will be no employees.

Another way to say this argument is "the USA economy requires a service sector of people inches from poverty in bad working conditions, to survive."

If a country has to stand on the blood of its working class to survive, that country probably shouldn't exist.

> People are willing to work at those rates so there will be a pool of employees available.

The alternative is homelessness. This isn't ethical.

Other countries have fast food restaurants with workers that have housing and healthcare. If the American government and corporate strategists can't organize its economy in a way to deliver this life to its citizens, it should be replaced, no?

Unless you think "might makes right?"
There are differences between browsers in how they handle frames and history management (e.g. if you reload, Firefox keeps the iframe source documents as they were at the time of reload, since Firefox likes to retain stuff across page loads, and generally does an excellent job of it, but occasionally what it does messes with what the page tries to do if they aren’t aware of Firefox’s superior handling; Chromium, by contrast, does what it does so well, and throws it all away and starts afresh from what the source document specifies, which is actually a bit baffling given that frame locations are actually a part of the history entries so they could easily do better in at least most cases).

But I don’t think there are differences any more within a single browser between how frameset frames and iframes are handled, for history purposes. I vaguely recall seeing some of this stuff being specified in the HTML Standard maybe last year or so. I suspect there used to be differences, but I’m not confident.

As for CSS resize: for consistent support, you’d need to have the iframe fill a div, and make the div resizable. (As the spec says <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-ui-3/#resize>: “Applies to: elements with ‘overflow’ other than visible, and optionally replaced elements such as images, videos, and iframes”. Firefox doesn’t currently support resize on replaced elements. Fortunately the workaround is straightforward, and reliable so long as you’re not having the elements’ intrinsic sizes influencing layout.)

As for its UI, current consensus gets you a grippy in… well, roughly the bottom-end corner. (It depends on direction and writing-mode, as it should, but some of the choices seem moderately arbitrary since they’ve obviously decided to anchor it to one of the bottom corners, and while Firefox’s placements all seem sensible enough, Chromium gets the position obviously wrong when you combine direction rtl with writing-mode tb, tb-rl or vertical-rl; I should probably file a bug for this, but I’m too lazy.) Anyway, just a regular corner grippy for `resize: horizontal` or `resize: vertical` is rather disappointing. Need some way of controlling it to say “make it a full interactive border”.

All up, it’s nowhere near as simple as <frameset> if that’s exactly what you want, and its UI is a bit wonky, but yeah, it pretty much works, and it does give you a lot more flexibility.
Hah this happened to Debian a few years ago. Someone fixed a compiler warning and limited the entropy range for secret keys.
Ask HN: What supplements or drugs you guys take to increase sex drive?
As per the title I'd love to know your stack for the purpose of increasing libido and sex drive.

Have been struggling for quite some time and in retrospect ever since I became sexually active as I was never able to get aroused around "normal girls", but now not even extremely attractive girls stimulate my libido and this is true for porn visuals as well as in person meetings with escort models and also the rare "organic" conquests at the club.

Have been self-injecting Testosterone (Testoviron Depot IM) and the peptide PT141 sub-cutaneous, both for 4 weeks now and hardly seen any improvement. Can't get my hands on Adderall via legit ways but will try soon to get it some from a source.

Some people swear by D3 agonists such as Cabergoline and Bromocrotipine , tried that as well but for about 10 days without any significant improvement and then I stopped because I am scared by the cardiotoxicity of Cabergoline especially.

Will try some MDMA and GHB during the summer as I continue the self-administration of Testoviron

Am I missing any substance? Lyrica maybe? Some people swear by that too
In my UK high school in the 1980s, during a lecture from a visiting nuclear engineer to our science club (BAYS), we got to handle (and directly touch) various sources including a piece of Plutonium about the size of a 2p coin, edge-framed by lucite but not sealed. The point was to show that alpha was blocked by paper but I still wonder how wise that was.
It may be the case that I cause a lot less externalities, but I don't think that affects the definition of a public good. If I visited my friend by using a motorcycle, I'd cause less externalities too, but I don't think motorcycles are public goods. Same with scooters, e-bikes and normal bikes.
Red herring fallacy, as a response to tone policing or dictionary or whatnot.
> They already know and/or could trivially find out.

100% agree here. Today the US goverment, I won't attempt to speak towards any other government, has way too much power and ability to collect inflammation in it's citizens. We've allowed the government to assume that powers but we could also take that power away. If the government owns the bank there's literally no way to do that.

Healthcare here is a whole other massively broken system. In general yes I think it's a fair generalization that we would prefer to pay extra to avoid large governments, historically at least since we've done a really poor job keeping our federal government small for the last 80 years. It makes sense given our country's history though, and personally I'd rather pay a little more to a corporation than save a few bucks at the expense of living under a much more powerful centralized authority.

The "check on the legislature" is only a reality in extremis. The discussion is usually about politics, but ultimately, if a legislature/executive were going off the rails and intervention by the armed forces was required, their allegiance is always to the monarch as the embodiment of the nation.

The rest of the time, the check on the legislature is only theoretical.

“Acceptable losses”?

Totalitarians promise water filtration facilities for their citizens as well. Should we also question that infrastructure?

Police can obtain a warrant for searching your premises. Should we do away with this because of how this procedure would unfold under a totalitarian government?

The root cause of your concerns is poverty. We can address that with other policies. We don’t need throw the baby out with the bath water.
I’d recommend Rory Cellan Jones on Substack [1]. He was the technology correspondent for the BBC until a few years ago - and is now retired partly because of the onset of Parkinson’s.

As a result he’s devoted much of his retirement to reporting on innovation in treating and managing Parkinson’s.

>If you read the report then the CMA comes across terribly. They don't understand basic technical facts. Apparently a competitor to Microsoft told the CMA that they solved latency issues with cloud gaming by increasing GPU power. Someone should alert the nobel prize committee about conquering the speed of light.

This is because input latency goes down if you run at a higher framerate. Nvidia worked on this and published some data on it. It's real.

>They make other bizarre claims like apparently everyone that subscribes to xbox game pass does so for cloud gaming.

Gamepass includes Xcloud. Not sure what your point is. CMA made a true statement.

In chronological order:

Linux admin, reverse engineering, VM infrastructure, 3d printing and design, electronics design, radio and signals, docker, K8s, ML, ChatGPT.

I find new areas I want to deep dive in. And I do just that. I may not be at full mastery of a thing, but I'm proficient at all of them. I'm also superb at blending them together in unorthodox ways, and that's where you can really shine.

Recognizing that you can make your own microwave horns using 3d printing and metallic spray paint is one of those things.

Or combining electronics design with ChatGPT allows rapid iterative design. Stuff like that.

Also, I tend to stay at a place longer if I have superb management and ample free time. I also balance my 'sanity' as well, as a hard-to-identify money benefit.

Bill Atkinson was the principal designer and developer of the graphical user interface (GUI) of the Apple Lisa and Apple Macintosh. He was the creator of the ground-breaking MacPaint application and its novel interaction techniques, and he also designed and implemented QuickDraw, the fundamental toolbox that the Lisa and Macintosh used for graphics. He also conceived, designed and implemented HyperCard, the first popular hypermedia system. He invented many now-common interaction techniques, including the menu bar, the marching ants selection used in painting programs, the Selection lasso, FatBits, pull-off menus (where a menu becomes a palette), and many others.

> Most folks in gaming seem to welcome the merger because Activision has long been anti-consumer / bad stewards of game franchises, and many people feel positive about the direction of the Xbox division as of late.

Yes, my big hope here is selfishly that Microsoft is able to salvage what's left of Blizzard and Microsoft has been the most consumer friendly of the big 3 this last couple of generations.
100 years seems reasonable. That would include the gold standard change, some significant monetary changes, and the great depression. I disagree that banking regulation is too much, but I do think the Federal government has an obligation to make regulation implementation easier to implement. We also have some non-sensical banking regulations that continue to victimize sex workers for the sake of it, so I think it's a mixed bag.
Is such direct feedback loop needed? In other places we simply stop buying product or using certain business if possible and things sort itself out. Or we could give feedback by internet forms or something else.

American minimum wage laws are an international disgrace.
Wow, now that is a shocking (and revealing) argument. Dismantle government not because you hate government, not because you think it has overreached, not because you think it’s ineffective, but to own the libs. And by own the libs you don’t even mean to disrupt their agenda, but just to put libs out of work. Do you hear yourself?

I never said agencies are ineffective, I said that the lack of reduced budgets is not evidence of much of anything.
> It’s not the same thing and you know this.

Nonsense. I "know" nothing of the kind.

> Plastic surgery is similar, wearing some make up is one thing, changing the structure of your face is something else.

On the contrary. Plastic surgery is a permanent alteration. Wearing makeup and using "beauty filters" are both temporary.
I would argue the notion of a living wage because that varies by locality even though the policies affecting it are rather universal.
Except in the second crash, as I recall it, the problem was correctly IDed, but manually adjusting the trim was impossible without adding nose down (to unload the control surface). This led the co-pilot to re-enable auto-trim, which re-enabled MCAS, which then drove the plane into the ground.

There may have been a path to saving the aircraft, but it definitely didn't seem at all intuitive. And figuring it out while the plane is actively trying to crash itself is a pretty big ask.

I haven't read anything that makes the CMA look good yet & I'm trying to be impartial.

If this is there definition of cloud gaming, how do phones come into play? They seem like a far bigger market that doesn't require additional hardware purchases specifically for gaming. You can hook them up to popular video game controllers & your TV. No latency issues, which Microsoft won't be fixing in cloud streaming type games without insane investments near users.

The article in the headline doesn't actually give any good reasons & I can't find any solid reasons by any of the people cheering on any Microsoft hate.

If you want to call Microsoft a monopoly & hate on them, there are tons of great & current examples but this just doesn't seem to be one. It's equivalent to blowing the whistle & calling a penalty on some random person for no reason because five plays earlier someone else on that team got away with one.

Using libraries that are open source or perpetually licensed doesn't come with that sort of platform risk. The analog there would be relying on third-party APIs.

Correct, I don't think it was mentioned in the article but this was geared towards and *nix platform. It's not only shells but anything that uses readline (the library that implements these shortcuts), e.g. mysql/sqlite cli client, node and many others.
FWIW, I do not agree with anything in that WorldCoin proposal and find it to be the antithesis of my approach to digital governance.

That is, those engaged in crypto-governance schemes are choosing to engage with a fantasy. We need real world solutions based on the current state of affairs, not some year-zero reinvention of global politics.
At least in the US, a state-owned bank is a very different animal from a federally owned bank.

States don't have the power to control the currency itself, don't control the collection of three-letter agencies, and in general are meant to have more leeway to try new things than the federal government.
Oh, that was just too easy... :)
It would be good to have a way of checking if information came from a verifiable human, but I very much doubt that would make much of a difference in the proliferation of machine-generated fake photos, videos, tweets, etc. It requires the content providers and consumers to care, and at least on the consumer side it seems people will believe what they want to believe (e.g. Q-Anon) even when it's extraordinarily obvious that it's not true.

Maybe if misinformation gets too far out of hand (there's already been an AI-generated fake video used in a political campaign) verification will become required by law for anything published on the internet.

I think it's the same situation with companies paying for software from a company they already have a spending relationship with instead of trying the competition. You lose a lot of people when you ask them to get their card out for yet another entity. It's easier to buy into the nth AWS tool, or Office 365 app, or Steam game than to take a chance with some new person's grasp on security and privacy.
Sure, but I can recommend a cheap device to others. A room full of others. A classroom of others. Or in an online video or blog post.

Sure, if I'm doing bespoke computing for others, I can spend my time (which is really valuable to me, by the way) to find a good deal.

Or I can minimize my time, and still get a pretty remarkable machine for someone.

"“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

I am not trolling. I don’t recommend engaging in a good-faith dialogue with someone by prefacing it with your belief that they are trolling.

If you're basing your trust in ChatGPT on the claim that it is trained on Wikipedia, you might as well read Wikipedia instead because then you also see the sources for each claim, or the fact that certain claims are unsourced. ChatGPT will not let you know if a certain claim is more controversial, nor give you further sources to read if you want to know the background of a claim.
My father, a consummate scientist, geologist, and radio geek, hand-built our home component stereo system from Heathkits. That includes speakers, turntable, receiver/tuner and amplifier. He also ran speaker wires through the walls so that the impressively massive speakers could take their rightful place along the long wall of our living room. The stereo was installed in an ornate antique piece of wood furniture which we referred to as "The Commode" for reasons I can't fathom.

EDIT: apparently, "commode" has been a word for normal furniture way longer than it was a euphemism for "toilet".

It was a long, long time until I truly and deeply appreciated what a labor of love, and what a technical achievement that must have been for my father to build that. I never really liked the stereo because it seemed obsolete before its time and didn't sound all that good, but man, handbuilt. Hats off to you, papa.
>Congress could always pass a law to block that or an individual could sue and claim something similar to illegal search.

Nah, we'd see any lawsuits over violations of such a law get blocked due to standing issues or state secrets privilege, much like the lawsuits over the illegal and unconstitutional surveillance performed by the NSA.
Digital painting was a skill to learn on my bucket list. Emphasis on "was". Within the last 6 months all of that has changed. I no longer value digital painting as a skill.

One neglected issue in the article and the comments is that Parkinson's is associated with exposure to various neurotoxic substances including organophosphorous pesticides:

https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/42/5/1476/623189

> "In a population-based case-control study, we assessed frequency of household pesticide use for 357 cases and 807 controls... Frequent use of any household pesticide increased the odds of PD by 47% [odds ratio (OR) = 1.47, (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13, 1.92)]; frequent use of products containing OPs increased the odds of PD more strongly by 71% [OR = 1.71, (95% CI: 1.21, 2.41)] and frequent organothiophosphate use almost doubled the odds of PD."

This is further supported by previous discoveries of Parkinson's brought on by exposure to an opiate analog MPTP, as well as several other pesticides:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5345642/

> "The identification of MPTP, a relatively simple compound which causes selective degeneration of the substantia nigra after systemic administration, has had an a significant impact on the understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) over the last 30 years."

It's rather curious that this foundation neglects to discuss any of this, but it is funded by entities affiliated with pharmaceutical manufacturers so perhaps it's not something they want to bring attention to? It does fit with a general pattern of attempting to blame diseases affiliated with environmental exposures on genetics, however.
Appeal to authority & false equivalence (apples & oranges); just because it's won a nobel prize doesn't mean it's a miracle cure against the 'rona.

I'm already dubious of the article you linked because the title uses appeal to authority (nobel prize winning) and emotional language (new global scourge).

I won't disagree that ivermectin improves life expectancy in some of those studies, but it doesn't seem to be effective in environments with less parasites.

Note also that it focuses on fatalities, not getting the disease, curing it faster than its natural course, or preventing it.
