Just goes to show you that morals are relative, and have no absolute standing as to what's "okay" and what isn't.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I can say I'm not angry about this at all (frankly, it feels like you're the one with the axe to grind here). I don't know about indoctrination; certainly I am a product of my environment, at the very least.

But I guarantee you that if copyright weren't a thing, the catalog of creative works in the world would be a tiny fraction of what it is today. And that would continue to be the case unless the human race can get to a point of post-scarcity, where we don't have to work to put food on the table or roofs over our heads, or have a decently nice standard of living.

Because the majority of people in the world who make things that fall under copyright would not be financially able to keep creating those things if they couldn't make money off of it. And sure, there are sometimes ways to make money off creative works without relying on copyright, but I don't think those ways cover enough to be meaningful.
The first few points seem like good first steps but you soon got to a land of "never gonna happen" and then you finally just landed on kotlin itself. Why not just use Kotlin?

Yes, the whole post is a flaw. Because, as so often, it tries to argue simply based on logic without considering the basics of the covered topic.
Ah-ha! you do feel outrage for the poorest of the writers involved in the strike. Since the companies aren't paying enough for them comfortably raise a family in L.A.

you know, strikes aren't always only for money for one's self.

This strike is also about keeping a career pathway open for the future. One point is that the route the companies want to go gives short-term profit (writers are involved less) but will result in long-term disaster for the film industry (as fewer writers will understand the ropes).

But hey, even if that doesn't affect your sense of outrage, why do you accept the company owners and upper management by default are expected to get all the money?
That was a disconcerting read.
For what it’s worth, Macs can reboot to previous versions and has many features linux desktops don’t out of the box.

It’s interesting what’s possible, and perhaps it shows off how low-thought a lot of human discussion is.

But in the end it’s noise and it pollutes human communication channels. It’s already hard enough to have an honest discussion when there are profit motives and agendas at play. Now we have effectively added probabilistic noise to the mix.

I don’t particularly fault the author for doing it, I’m sure it was fun and intellectually rewarding, and they’re unlikely to be the only one. But still.
> I do wonder how many of them are Christians who are legalistically trying to avoid the Christian prohibition of suicide this way.

While legalism isn't generally a good look for morality, there really are some situations where the nuance matters. In this case it's a matter of intent and what can be foreseen. The "loophole" for Christians or anyone else who is suffering extremely is pain management. Drugs may be licitly provided in any amount necessary for that pain management. If the amount of the drug necessary for pain management will foreseeably cause death, it's still not suicide because the intent is not to euthanize, but to manage pain. This shouldn't sound so strange, because the secular legal system also takes intent into account. On the other hand when the intent is to kill rather than to care, then yes it's not healthcare it's murder or suicide.

Similarly, it's licit to discontinue life preserving interventions when those interventions are otherwise intolerable.

Then do what I did with my child as a half-way compromise: turn the phone off when at home, never let it into their bedroom, lock down the majority of functions (parental features) to the basics needed during the day and check usage.

There is no reason why parenting and ground rules can't come into play. It's not all-or-nothing.
why? Do you have any idea how many of them would be in a significantly better place financially by their 20s instead of being in debt?

To finish the course and get the completion badge, one must also do the labs, which cost money.

Tell HN: Apple quit allowing syncing Photos and FinalCut to cloud-based storage
For years, I've kept my 286GB Photos library backed up via Dropbox. But as of MacOS 12.5, this has been disallowed, per Apple's policy.

Here's Dropbox's writeup, see the table entry "Some types of files aren't supported on Dropbox for macOS."

https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-support-for-expected-changes

Attempting to open my Photos library results in the following error:

The library could not be opened.
Main Dropbox 2.photoslibrary” is in Dropbox, and needs to be moved to a folder on your Mac to open.

I can't test it at the moment, but perhaps there's a clever way to symlink around the problem?
> kill the part of yourself that cringes rather than try to smother out others who are "cringe"

Cringing is a manifestation of shame. Shame can serve very useful social functions, even though it may not always be accurate.

We should not completely deaden our feelings of shame any more than we should completely deaden our feelings of anger, or joy.

Ah, the classic "California Corporate" style of speaking:

clear "yes" or "no" to the specific case being asked about.

It seems passive-aggressive to demand that every single reader piece together the logic of their "labs" and "campaigns" and "badges" to figure out if a given course is free or not. I'm all for shipping early and often, but it does feel like adding 2 if statements would have made the whole pricing answer about 100x more user-friendly.

> Strange that they haven't fully assimilated their stack / org into Google / GCP proper.

This is the opposite of strange.
That would put extra effort on the parenting side. Yuck. That's not why people get kids! Parenting ... It's easier to just ban it and not think about such things. And those kids won't be able to do this on their kids because the lack of contact points in their childhood, too. So yeah, just ban it. Problem solved for generations! /s
Ban all phones for kids? That's a terrible idea, what if they are in a ditch with a broken leg after falling off a bike? Only smartphones? Perhaps, but a dumbphone is just a smartphone with restricted set of apps. It seems better to restrict apps based on appropriate age and individual needs than have a hard to tweak limit. For example, Maps is pretty useful when lost and Zoom is helpful with school events while away from home.
> If you're changing a minor version number you should not break any apps using you lib

That has never been a thing. There are plenty of software where even fixing a bug is compatibility breaking.

Just make the package manager in a way that it can handle any number/kind of different versions.

There's a point where if there is any of me left, which with dementia and other brain destroying disease / injury might not even be anything, it's just prolonging the suffering.

Current medical forms don't really give a clear indication about when the infection point on that curve is reached; they assume all in or all out, at least from what I saw when it last came up among my parent's experiences. I know I wouldn't want to be kept around as effectively a vegetable, surviving on a 'port' forcing fluids into my GI tract, barely remembering anything about life and being strung out on many years of suffering. That's the exploitative part you mention. The lack of dignity you mention. The turning a patient into a profit center rather than looking out for their best interests.

Maybe someday that won't be the lack of real choice we all currently face. Until then, and maybe even after, give people the freedom to choose. Also give them real choices, like counseling and assistance fitting into society as a productive member who's valued.
Let's respect the meaning of the word 'actual.'

Amend that to 'An actual look at what a CBC news report said that it looks like from a real patient.'
Maybe you missed all the previous articles on HN about how the latest generations are less technically literate, unable to navigate file systems, unable to use regular PC applications (only knowing smartphone versions), and generally only knowing how to stay within the locked down walls of modern smartphone ecosystems.
MXRoute Mail Server Outage Postmortem
> Forums before the mid-2000s were pretty cool.

Largely because the internet before the mid-2000s was a fairly decent place to be. Some of those old forums are still running, and are still way more intelligent than reddit.

But I would guess a large percentage succumbed to attacks from spammers, ddos, seo stuffers, etc, until the admins decided it wasn't worth it. Oh almost all of them had their password db hacked at some point, whether they told you or not, which pushes people to centralized services.
I imagine a world where the AIs will make it so that only very sociopathic humans remain in the Internet, and where finding any piece of truth will increasingly become difficult.

And it won't stop there. Imagine you are a writer. How will you be able to tell that you really wrote your book, that it came from your thoughts and feelings and that you lived the story before your readers did, and that it was not an AIs creation?

There are two things which are true in my mind:

* We can build AIs that are better than us (but why should we?!?!)

* With all our imperfections, we need to talk and feel for each other. AIs are not the only thing in the way, but they are a formidable roadblock.
Do they though? It's not the first time they've done things like this and nothing really happened.
This is an exercise in power. It's basically the online version of every labor dispute ever.

In any labor dispute workers test the water to see how much power they weild. They threaten or invoke some sort of action (like a strike.) Management respond with lockouts, terminations and so on.
Ultimately there is usually some resolution where both sides understand their co-dependence, but equally understand the limits of their own power.

Reddit is following the playback here. Moderators instigate a "strike" of sorts. They get locked out. Management tests the water to see if they weild actual community power, or are just a small group of malcontents.

It will be interesting to see this play out.

Dog always need to be on a leash.
You quoted earlier: "are permitted to remain in the U.S. and are remanded to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, which delivers them as quickly as possible to a sponsor"

Which means that they are not "outside of the system", and not without documentation (as minor-aged asylum seekers).
There may be a few reasons - US just happens to be the center of attention, both good and bad. Who know, maybe others countries with similar lockdown policies had worse results. The media might not report on it, though.

Is it the case that kids in other countries don’t want to hit teachers because they are raised better, or they would like to hit them, but they know the punishment they’re getting is not talking with Care Solace, “a company that uses an online portal and phone line to link students, parents and staff” but a more severe punishment.

US is a big country with large cities and rural areas. Maybe it got worse in Nevada but better in rural Montana. But reduced violence somewhere makes for an extremely boring headline. So we would not be discussing it at all.
Or maybe just a non-venture-backed, privately owned company who isn’t beholden to shareholders and isn’t greedy? A “man and pop shop” but as a social media company.
Paralyzed man walks naturally, thanks to wireless bridge between brain and spine
About 15 years ago I had seen a paralyzed man control mouse and computer interfaces (was research from Brown university). This is a new step where the translated brain signals are controlling the spine directly! This is truly amazing, inspiring, and practical (and don't forget to watch the short video!)
I adopted a mutt from the shelter about 7 years ago. They said an older person brought her in because she pulled on the leash (she never pulled me). She's the smartest, most fearless, and easiest dog I've ever been around. She just knows what I want, I rarely have to tell her. Great around all humans and other dogs. Your plate of food is safe.

I don't know if I got lucky or what. I walked in, she was about the 6th or 8th cell, and I knew I was keeping her as soon as we met.

Anyway, that's two data points. Adopting dogs from the shelter is wonderful.

Why do you think work a worse fate than school? At least with work you get paid for your time and effort, and get the chance to network with people older than yourself
> quants don't actually think like that.

Help me understand it then. AFAIK, this is how it goes:

1. The market can be modeled using A/

2. Someone figures out it can be modeled by A'.

3. The market inevitably changes because of this application of A'.

4. The real model for the market shifted to B.

5. Repeat 1.

Which just means that the model for the market will only get more and more complicated. And the way to win is to have more and more sophisticated model to capture every other model.

Google must comply with all sorts of regulations and compliance.

You get a lot out of the box if you used standard tooling. For example, privacy, GDPR and data retention compliance if you used standardized libraries. You also have dedicated teams who can streamline issues. It's the equivalent of registering your company in Delaware.
Parental features fail far too often. As someone deeply knowledgable about the space, it makes complete sense why some parents opt for a dumb phone or no phone and its not due to the parent being lazy.
I feel like this will only make society more suspicious and uncooperative.
This is also an excellent argument for why we should not unthinkingly trust statements from governments, given the tools of social manipulation they have available.

>> It assumes that if a kid gets a fever first ... then the kid got covid and passed it to the adult.

> This is a bad way to infer the direction of transmission.

do you think that skews statistics worse than declaring a person died of covid when they only died with covid, and launching a disciplinary investigation of the license of a senior physician who pointed out that there is a checkbox on the death certificate for exactly this declaration? When coupled with a 5 figure dollar bonus to the hospital for the number of "of covids" they came up with?

but anyway, you think that so many more children caught it from their parents than from their peers AND the timing of the temperature measurements was always skewed in the wrong direction, that the errors don't wash, and that the researchers aren't as good at considering this as you are?
I don’t know, but it seems like there is more lean into school issues tablets now. They get real books also, just no need to go overboard.
