NPM Status – Increased latency in authentication service
When did we decide to set apart a certain set of behaviours, call them "kink," and deem them morally untouchable?

I'm all for people exploring things safely with trusted partners but more and more often I see people use the mask of "kink" to either ignore the roots of their interests or to co-erce other people into accepting situations that are unsafe or uncomfortable for them.

If someone is into vore then by all means, enjoy it safely. But please also consider if there are underlying causes of your sexual interest in cannibalism that are also impacting other aspects of your life and could be better tackled in therapy than in the bedroom.

Final point on the case in hand: Saying the name is inappropriate for a public project is different than saying the person with that sexual interest should be ashamed. Users may find it distressing.
Many universities are hedge funds or property developers with an interest in education at this point.

In many parts of the world the grid is a combination of unreliable or not there at all. And the required level of investment to fix all that is at least short term not keeping up with the increase in demand. So, things are getting worse for people dependent on the grid. And where grids are actually available, they aren't necessarily cheap, which incentivizes people that use a lot of power to invest in alternatives. You see this with e.g. companies exploiting vehicle chargers. They all end up installing solar panels and investing in electricity infrastructure rather than just paying per kwh to their local grid provider. The grid is a last resort for them. This is going to be true for any business where energy is a big component of their cost.

To get reliable and cheap power, people have to invest in their own generation. That's still expensive but increasingly more feasible and critical for especially small businesses. If you run e.g. a small shop and you have perishable goods in a fridge in a tropical country and the power goes out, you basically have a lot of melted / rotten goods after a few hours. Not great. If that happens a lot, your business dies. In the same way, having the AC on or off in a hot country can mean the difference between having your place full of customers or not. It's not optional. If grid power is only available a few hours a day, your business is at risk unless you fix a more reliable supply. Many grids in e.g. Africa are very unreliable and don't have enough capacity.

In many countries people are still relying on generators for this but increasingly solar and batteries are becoming a viable alternative. The upfront cost of this is a big obstacle for many smaller businesses. As is the availability of components. But generators and fuel are also not free. And they break down and need maintenance too. And the exhaust fumes cause health issues.

However, solutions in this space actually have a value and return on investment. So, providing lines of credit for this is actually something that is potentially a profitable business and not just charity. Plenty of entrepreneurs in Africa, the Middle East, parts of Asia, etc. that could use that to bootstrap their businesses and would be able to pay back loans with interest.

I'd say micro grids will be a reality long before, if ever, people figure out cheap, reliable grid power in many of these places.

Let's not be too picky about wording now, "performing at 200%" can easily incorporate what you are saying, and by the way all are still some valid points.

But still i can do all of what you are saying and not even being considered for promotion in 20 years, everybody knows this and there is no point in being delusional or forcing narratives, just strive to be the "best possible version of yourself" if you really want it, or just do what you're paid for and that's still ok!
State control over church _doctrine_, yes, that's sacred, but state control over church _finance_ is a much more temporal business. Being a church isn't like diplomatic immunity.

Allowing a church to build a huge opaque financial empire is the sort of thing that leads to theses being nailed to doors.

Vice to me was always just “high quality” news for people who read Pitchfork and the Fader and listened to Danny Brown and Ariel Pink.

In hindsight its “good content” of the war and drugs sort doesn’t feel too far off from the original angle of low-brow edginess that I feel like evolved and predated things like the “dirtbag left” and “El chapo traphouse” with less of a political bend.

I’m sort of confused as to what carried it into being heralded as a “digital colossus”, whose decline is described as part of the “end of an era” next to Buzzfeed News. Granted, once my own “New York nights at 21 edgy” phase tapered off around 2015-2016, I stopped regularly paying attention to it. At least Buzzfeed News had the accolades to justify its merit.

I suspect that around 2015-2016, right around the time when Supreme got sold to VF Corporation and Kanye and Kim Kardashian were in their prime, and Trump first stopped on (or off?) that escalator…there was a “vibe shift”…and whatever underlying cultural tones that everything that I’m describing can be categorized under sort of seemed “marketable”? But after Trump was elected, the vibe shifted again hard, and I guess Vice couldn’t keep up. Their target demographic is aging and the generation who follows them probably doesn’t have the stomach to tolerate their lack of taste and can probably figure out the “war and drugs” stuff on their own.

I don’t know. So much of this calls to forlorn days and I don’t expect much of the HN crowd to feel where I’m coming from.

If you know you know.
You've levelled two accusations at me, neither of which is true. I didn't think people shouldn't think before speaking, and I didn't say others shouldn't be heard. The fact you've so misinterpreted such a simple point cannot be attributed to anything benign.
I've actually jerked a lot of them around, I don't do it much anymore as I had my fun, but you're right. A lot of them will start with extremely lowball offers. I've had one guy email me once and I played with him for a while, he went from $25 per link to around $300 over the course of 5-6 emails.

For him, the middleman, it makes no sense to start with the real offer because in his mind he is thinking, "If I go as low as possible below the baseline, I get to keep the rest.".

Yeah, it's a no from me also. I mean it would not make any sense for me to write an article like that on my site even though it is about tech. It would be like lighting a fire in my living room and asking, "What's wrong?".

Why? No dispute how hard it would be, after all, the pope has a lot of tanks. But hard is not the same as immense.

Churches pay wage tax, land tax, fines, church leaders even sometimes go to jail. Churches pay purchase tax, take out insurance, although they don't cover acts of God..
I'm not offended, if I'm the person you thought was offended.
> the same is true of the entire west.

The status of churches (and especially what counts as a valid "church" or "religion", especially non-Christian ones!) varies across the Western world. There is no one approach.
> You really one of the people who want to keep writing stupid code?

No. Why? are you a stupid code advocate yourself? Why wouldnt you want to write good code?

> Besides that there is still a huge difference between someone (human/ai) looking at work and getting inspired/trained on vs. reproducing the same thing.

Those models that are reproducing the same thing was my whole point. Copilot, GPT-3, stable diffusion have all been shown to do it. Copilot excessively so.

> Despite that you also think that just writing some normal code and not a real novel algorithm should be patentable?

Not me, no. Why? Do you really think that? Why would you want to do such a thing!

> I don't even want to have software patents it's so diametral to sharing and progressing together.

Also, WW2 started with Germany and Russia invading Poland together.

Because Hitler later betrayed Stalin, and Russia did by far the most work in defeating Nazi Germany, we have since learned to see Russia as one of the good guys in WW2, but they didn't start out that way; they were initially one of the aggressors, invading Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland.

I wish it was a bit more polished though. On my stock unrooted OnePlus6t there is no option for updating all possible apps at once.

It was just a matter of time until the political establishment set their sights on an ideological enemy. I doubt this will be successful, but we can expect more of this.
That heritable factors which correlate with race significantly impact rates of violent crime, including large differences in crime rates between groups; that these differences matter more than sex differences, particularly given taboos around race; and that this knowledge should drive expectations for fair criminal justice policy.
"establishment" means declaring a religion as being "the" state religion, as the Church of England is (or at least was) for the UK, or the Orthodox Church in eastern European kingdoms.

it's not about, for example, a charter for a new religion you'd like to found.
Do you think there are any good cultural retrospects that cover the mid-2010s?

Is this a mangling of Stalin's "how many divisions has the Pope?" The Vatican has not had a significant military since the war of Italian Unification ended in 1870.
I would personally prefer a complete blanket ban on gambling and psuedo gambling online.

My country (Japan) likely has one of the highest rates of child gambling addiction in a developed nation.

The number of times I heard "I spent all my savings on the casino haha, gotta skip some meals I guess" was ludicrous.

That was in highschool. And now I see it in middle schools. (Siblings)

I have done my part ensuring my sibling doesn't get involved in that garbage.
What happen is that they took market money which means they no longer had to be hungry and do good and honest journalism.

In the UK, the _average_ time spent watching TV/streaming content is about 40 hours per week. This in combination with generally sedentary lifestyle that relative wealth allows. Unfortunately gyms and fitness centres, as good as they are, I'm not sure can counter this trend.

>can't have f2f meetings all day

i have zoom 1:1 meetings all day with managers. going remote doesn't obviate the need for team planning and management. bottom line is commercial real estate (CRE) is screwed and the sole driver of all of this. if a behemoth like dell, amazon, etc can go fully remote and still be profitable, then what does that say for any smaller company? and then what does that do to all of the CRE holdings of said behemoths?

tough situation and it may not resolve in our favor
Tried reading, but there are so many pop-ups and alerts and "type your e-mail for our newsletter", which makes this site very annoying.
> What we need is more competition, so I as a user will pick the ISP that does not slow down traffic for me to sites I want to visit, instead of choosing between people who want to screw me with vs without lube.

I agree, but once ISPs start dealing with expensive contracts to get preferential treatment we’ve already lost. No amount of competition will stop the oligarchs from consolidating even more power if NN is not put into law.

Imagine this scenario, national push to make Internet a utility, incredibly successful. Without NN, the new play for ISPs is to create exclusivity deals & priority packages with websites for access, not just segmenting the web but making it harder for smaller ISPs to compete with un-prioritized speeds to the websites everyone wants.

Choice and competition is important, but choice can only exist in a fair market. And NN is, in my opinion, the next step after turning the Internet into a utility.

> the church (legally) predates, and is not controlled by the state in western legal case history and laws.

Henry VIII would like a word.
no government interference in people's private religious choices or life, so that has been interpreted as no taxation of churches. But churches can't commit ritual murder or anything.
"... or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Taxation, and subsequent compliance costs, serve as restrictions on such exercise.
We do keep looking under the proverbial lamppost for the missing keys[1] when it comes to computation.

Compilers for the most popular languages are pretty amazing these days. Yet it’s still on the developer to make the most of them. One aspect might be performance:

- structure your problem in such a way (carefully manage dependency relationships, eliminate branches, etc). that the compiler can choose to emit vector instructions
- manage memory access patterns (e.g. prefer columnar and SoA access patterns over cache unfriendly pointer chasing structures)
- understand how to maximally exploit cache hierarchies for your problem (e.g. threading to exploit the other L1 caches rather than relying on slower L3 etc.)

Another aspect might be data security rules, e.g. tagging and labelling with the ability to enforce rules for the developer.

But there are literally hundreds of aspects to deal with. Our languages today look at the problem space through a toilet roll tube with the other eye closed.

The future of computation is guaranteed to be rich, vibrant and exciting.

The shirt sponsor ban is a pre-emptive measure so that when the goverment comes after the Premier League they can point to the fact that betting companies have been banned from sponsoring shirts. Betting promotion in the form of pitchside displays / TV ads before & during games will still be allowed.

Pubs have been closing down for a long in the UK, long before the pandemic, fuelled by other factors
eg: https://www.companydebt.com/articles/pub-closures-in-the-uk/

Although, people may drink less, I think one factor get's regularly missed out of these reports, house prices in the UK have kept well ahead of wage increases for ages, and younger people can no longer afford to go out, but this is always phrased as people preferring staying in more.
> I think that the whistleblower might not have access to those accounts as those belong to the Church, he was with the investment arm.

He does clarify that in the interview: the money coming into the fund has never been used for any of that. It’s 150B stashed vs 1B/year that’s actually being spent on “humanitarian activities”.
Yes, my experience is the same. The major metro downtown library has been a homeless shelter for years, even in the before-times. There is a decently-sized grass-lawn park right next to it, and every morning in the library, there is a huge row of bags and shopping carts and all sorts of personal junk belonging to people who schlep it in and out every day to escape the elements.

My local municipal library has gone back and forth. It is on land which is technically Parks & Rec jurisdiction, and so it's patrolled by uniformed Park Rangers. There are strict rules about bathroom use and there is technically no sleeping allowed inside the library. During the lockdowns, of course, they were able to keep out the riffraff by mandating masks and doing curbside, online-facilitated book pickups.

But the whole neighborhood by the library is a mass of homeless hangout, especially the bus stops right nearby, and let me tell you, it's downright scary when bus stops are "owned" and squatted by a group of creeps who are drunk and/or on drugs and/or bent on violence. There is literally nowhere safe to sit in the shade and wait for an actual bus, because nobody at the stop intends to get on the bus at all. And, when you do board a bus, especially the free-fare ones, it's clogged with the same types of weirdos going to/from their daytime hangouts.

Personally for me, when I was homeless, libraries were a life saver, and I definitely hung out at libraries, which kept me (1) out of trouble, (2) safe from the weather, (3) connected to friends and family, and (4) occupied and not bored, and (5) no need to spend money. Of course, I was extremely careful about obeying all rules and regulations and not being caught out as homeless. Sleeping was mostly OK, and I didn't need to shower, shave, or brush teeth in the bathrooms, so that also helped.
Or, alternatively, we can slowly make roads safe for any AI driven cars.
Use appropriate marking on the roads everywhere, clearly visible signs, clearly visible crosswalks, physically separated lanes for bicycles and vehicle similar to bicycles etc. etc. etc.

Funny thing that we will simultaneously make roads safer for all cars and pedestrians and cyclists too.
God what a shame, they put out some really damn good journalism.

The french example sounds off in my opinion, it seems to mix up its consonants/ vowels.

The "OU" sound from "nous" sounds like "EU", or like if the sound was skipped.
The "OH" sound from "sommes" sounds like "EU" (again, but less pronounced).
The "T" sound from "trop" becames "P" ("pro").
Exactly, Hamiltons drug reports, the documentaries about conflicts you never heard before and the more outlandish stuff they reported on back then were great. I havent watched a Vice piece in ages, their new content became an edgier buzzfeed…

A lot of places in the developing world have a large rural population that is widely spread out. You may have a family dwelling every 100m surrounded by a small farm with each dwelling connected by foot tracks. It is like taking a large city in America or Europe and spreading the population out across the entire county. This is a different challenge to connecting urban areas and small towns to a wider grid.

IMHO it would be useful to have grid technology that could work as a web of low voltage/low current connections. Something that could be installed without needing lots of expertise and be intrinsically safe. Maybe even in the same package as water pipes.
They did indeed do a lot of very real journalism. Something most outlets just don't do anymore. It's a huge shame.
