The biggest puzzle we've got to solve right now is, how do we make people realize that Karl Marx was not the devil, but in fact, the most perceptive thinker of his time who put his finger right on the problem that bedevils us today?

People have this lazy idea of the word "capitalism," which they consider to be "our not-communist system".

Capitalism is the use and espousal of Capital.

Money is not Capital; money is a representation of labour done and value created.

Capital is when you take money and frankenstein it into acting like a magic vegetable/seed which you can plant in its current form and harvest in the same form and then plant some more of in that same form and then harvest more in the same form and it never changes, just magically grows through the mystical power of what Economists call "externalities".

Externalities are mysteries forces that we don't really understand, but which provide us with resources to use, and according to our model, no harm is ever done.

We need to start treating money like money. Capitalism needs to be snuffed out. Work, business, trade, all that can (indeed, must!) go on, but Capital must end.
Yes.

This is the problem with the tablet duopoly

I looked very hard a two years ago for a high end tablet that I could put my own OS on. All I could find was the one by Pine64, and it was not "high end"

I am typing this on an eight year old laptop I bought second hand at the start of COVID lock downs. Running Linux, it works pretty damn well.

Why can I not get a tablet like that?

As a former firefighter-paramedic for 14 years turned full-time software dev I disagree.

Was being a FF-PM stressful? Sure, at times. But there was a LOT of down time, even while on duty. There was banter between co-workers, working out, SLEEPING, watching TV, reading or doing a whole lot of nothing, to help relieve the stress. Majority of calls were very benign so not a lot of stress really. But it was also very exhilarating and challenging. A patient whose vitals were all stable, looked good, talking, etc, etc, all of a sudden turns into a heart attack or goes unconscious. Again, it wasn't the majority of calls but those were the type of calls that we were there for and not the calls were people want to go by ambulance so they don't sit in the waiting room at the ER.
(HAPPENS A LOT!). My normal shift was 24 hours on and 48 hours off. During the 48 hours off I didn't worry about email or office politics (there was some but I tried to not get involved).

My stress as a dev comes from different things. Am I doing this correctly? What is the point of this? Imposter syndrome!! I now work from home so no more co-worker banter. Plus the mentality of FFs is way more juvenile, and fun, than that of an office worker. I could take an hour nap during the day but then I'd feel guilty, which adds more stress.

After 8 hours of sitting in front of a computer my mind is fried and I have little motivation to do much else though I have the desire to do personal computer projects which are left for the weekend. And when the weekend comes I may spend an hour or two at most because now I feel guilty for spending more time on the computer.

Is my lack of motivation not to exercise or work on personal projects due to being a software dev? No, not at all but it does add to it.

Bottom line I didn't worry about "the job" as much being a FF-PM as I do being a dev.

Also, I think working in the jobs like FF, PM, police, ER doc/nurse, it is expected to have high-stress so people approach it differently. But no one thinks a software dev can have stress. Stress is stress, it doesn't matter what causes it. It is a physiological response.
I know pro musicians who love their stuff. TX-6 is great little mixer for both recording and performance. OP-1 despite the hate is portable focused audio lab that is perfect for creating little music ideas. Sure you can get something from Electron for less money but is it as portable or quirky to bring out new ideas? For some it's really important and so are the aesthetics.

I think there are qualities that are important in creative process that you overlook. The mood, your environment, quality of your tools even how "cool" they look is not something secondary.

Actually most good musicians i know care more about the feel of a tool (touch, how it clicks, how heavy it is) than they care about frequency response. They might even like things that sound in certain way and not always "correct".

For some usecases this doesn't matter sure - like if you are some reporter - get Zoom or Sound Devices. But there are people liking and buying these and they are not just posers.
I think a lot of this is lack of self-awareness and how much neurotypical behaviour happens with these leaders in tech.

Instead of empathy and understanding others worldview, they think everyone shares their view and should be happy.

iPad still has huge disadvantages to me:

- Android tablets have the Opera browser which has text reflow functionality which works much much better than anything else. This is a huge deal for me.
- I can access the file system and do whatever I want with it.
- I still like notifications more in Android vs iPadOS.

If it were not for these things, I would buy an iPad in a heartbeat.
It sounds to me like you're starting with the assumption that empiricism must rule out the supernatural. That is what I mean by having a prior commitment to a metaphysic, and is therefore not a truly scientific approach.

As for me, no I do not have an existing commitment to a belief in a deity before concluding that the existence of life is definitive proof of the existence of a god. Rather, it is the other way around -- it is the empirical observations about life that lead to the conclusion that it must have been designed by a superior intelligence.

Obviously, you cannot begin with the assumption that the supernatural must be ruled out and then come to the conclusion that the supernatural must be ruled out without engaging in circular reasoning. Let the evidence guide you based on reason, but don't begin by assuming your conclusion.
In every single example, at a glance, the old left image was clearer than the new right proposed ui with muted colors. I don't use this buggy software anyways so don't have a horse in this race but from a UI design doesn't seem better to me. They should really go back to the windows 2000 aesthetic.

> and the loading speed is a breath of fresh air.

I don't know what games you're playing but my experience pretty much across the board with the switch is "frustratingly long" loading times. Metroid dread is one of the more recent games I played and the loading screens are painful. Especially compared to a PS5. Check out something like Spiderman for how good it can be.

> And tbh, I didn’t see a lot of difference in terms of graphics.

Then you're not the target audience. Look at TOTK beside Ratchet and Clank on PS5. The difference is night and day.
Android has supported keyboards and mice pretty much forever, I think.
That seems like a load of crap, I have a few passions ever since 13 year old and 30 years later they're still in me even though I barely ever practiced them.

Show HN: Unclutter your social media news feed
Social media is a part of our lives. But sometimes it starts to get annoying. Some random event happens (which you really don't care about), and for a couple of weeks you keep seeing posts about that event, from half the planet. Or maybe you don't like electric vehicles, and you keep seeing news about Tesla.

To address this, I decided to create a browser extension that filters posts, based on a keyword list that you define. Works for all major social networks, on all major browsers!

Some countries (like the UK) even have additional taxes on flights that are not the lowest class available. I'm not sure if it is to discourage taking more comfortable travel options or just to scalp people with money.

Inserting random headphones from another person in your ear is extremely gross.
Saying some problem is harder than NP Complete is like saying something is longer than "10". Without units "10" does not say anything about length. Without size function (and basic operation set) saying some problem is EXPTIME is not telling much.

Knapsack problem is common problem that has different complexity depending on how we measure it. Just googling "knapsack problem complexity" returns two answers "O(N*W)" and "NP Hard". Both are correct depending how you specify size of the problem.

On the other hand, the 5th and 7th best selling Switch games (Pokemon SS and SV) were notorious for being unable to maintain 15fps. A lot of the workarounds made the game legitimately awful looking (downscaling shadows on the fly for demanding scenes, very reduced draw distances, slowing down and synchronizing background animations to slideshow speeds during battle).

It seems like the Switch is unable to have more than a handful of moderately complex animated objects at a time. It's a problem for Pokemon because they wanted to show a lot of different Pokemon doing different things, it's a problem in Breath of the Wild with just too many trees, and it's certainly a problem with all the Dynasty Warrior clones because the whole appeal of those games is hack and slashing through a big hordes of enemies.
I'm guessing they mean wake from sleep time? Since in my experience that is unparalleled. By the time my xbox has even registered the on button press I could already be playing a game on switch. The steam deck is also pretty good in this regard, but not quite as fast.

Furthermore, the switch rarely if ever forces you to update a game or the OS before play. So if you have 5 minutes spare, you can be sure you can get some play time in. This cannot be said for almost every other console AFAIK
I also have DM-16L and I do get some reasonable use out of that, It's programmer's calculator so a bunch of bitwise operations are readily available and have buttons for directly switching modes.

On the contrary, I like it. This style immediately made me move from "looking for the most important pieces of advice" (if I had to right now, I would go for GPT4 anyway) to reading it for its aesthetic value.
You can already connect switch controllers to a PC and play any switch title, legally, on your PC right now.

I have legally purchased all my switch games but I make backups and play on PC sometimes just because it is a better experience.

Same in France, especially for children.

The time is that you send a kid at school until they "have temperature". Before that they sneeze, cough, whatever, together with the rest of the pupils. Eventually everyone gets ill and the general immunity increases.

When they are are ill it is paracetamol. It used to be also antibiotics, now an increasing number of GP do tests before.

EDIT: following up on comments, please note that I am neither the Ministry of Health, nor the Ministry of Education - just relying the status in France. And a parent who suffered of this first-hand.
Correct. I had a doctor tell me one time that when treating a patient "if you hear hoof beats don't look for zebras". Meaning, take what you see and hear for what they are. Because someone has a headache don't assume they have a brain tumor. I am over exaggerating here just to make a point.
I was SHOCKED reading BOTW reviews. So, so, sooooo many of it's supposed "strengths" had been touted as failings of other open world games. Like the big but empty world, or the grindiness, or the "sameness" of the different things on the maps (like shrines, towers).

> A second goal is educational. He wants to broaden the history of the field to more accurately reflect the uncertain origins of many foundational ideas. For example, the core of the mathematical canon is popularly assumed to originate in the teachings of white men in ancient Greece. But in fact, much of that knowledge emerged in the vastness of the ancient Greek empire, which included the modern-day Middle East and North Africa. For Kim, this whitewashing pushes away young people who might contribute to mathematics but don’t see it as belonging to them.

And he’s already taken a giant leap back. One of the most beautiful things about mathematics is that you can appreciate its insights, no matter who came up with them. A white girl can be enraptured with Ramanujan’s insights. A black boy can be thrilled with Emmy Noether’s abstract algebra. The sooner we get away from the idea that people will only be interested in certain subjects only if they came from people who look like them, the better.
Why so? They solve a problem, namely convenient tether-free but non-intrusive headphones, and Airpods are nearly unrivaled in implementation.

It's quite easy really. The FED has done stuff which doesn't impact you directly, really.

However what the ECB(European Central Bank, steward of the euro) and the NBP (Narodowy Bank Polski) have done, impacts you much more directly.

And of course, most relevant, Polish Central Bank: https://nbp.pl/en/monetary-policy/mpc-decisions/interest-rat...

The 7% interest rate you get in Poland is based on the one set by the central bank. Note that it is only like this since end of 2022, before that the rate was probably hovering around zero, like the ECB.
I mean, to me personally that sounds like a gimmicky title. Without putting why he is going to die, it sounds less factual and more like a blog post about how Elon Musk should learn to smell the roses because he isn’t getting any younger.

Judaism preceded the pagan Roman kingdom. Judaism is a scriptural religion. Judaism gave rise to law as a study.

Non scriptural religions had evolving myths and folklore like Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. Those religions did not contribute to law like the prior comment mentions.

I'm not really sure what your point is here, as I'm not saying caffeine addiction ruins lives, just that it's a thing that could be avoided more than it is now.

If I read your comment right, I fully agree.

We take it for granted, we believe that we have the right to exist. At every turn we're trying to defeat death and illness. Trying to defeat nature's (and the planet's) mechanisms of a form of population control.

Then on the other hand, we sort of complain about overpopulation.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see people die, but on the other hand I fully understand that we must die. Me must get ill.
