There is actually some rational ground for being suspicious of public figures who change their minds in their area of putative expertise. Nominally, the job of Secretary of the X is to be an expert in X. They should have done the work to come to the correct opinions, and be able to defend them. While in theory I wouldn't want them to hold that opinion at all costs, it should be a rare event that causes them to radically change their opinions. It should take some very substantial stuff to do it. They shouldn't be someone who can be blown by the wind and a couple of stray facts, because they should be sitting on a lot more facts that support their position.

Now, in reality this is all sorts of naive and the Secretary of the X was absolutely certainly not put there simply because they're the best at X. We're lucky if that was even a consideration and if they can even follow the most basic issues in field X. Nevertheless, despite the fact a number of people know that the nominal level of politics is far from the only one, it remains an important one. The nominal level of politics becomes more important the larger the group of people, and national scale is just about the largest relevant scale. Even so, even in small environments I find the nominal level of politics remains important even when every single participant knows everyone else is putting on a political show for everyone else. It's weird to me, but while analyzing that surface level is nowhere near sufficient to understand what is going on, it never ceases being relevant.

So it remains relevant for people in positions of authority to have relatively stable positions. Otherwise they're penetrating that nominal level of politics, and that's a very dangerous thing for them to do. Despite the fact we visibly have a lot of people in charge of X who know basically nothing about X and are clearly there for purely political reasons, if they actually publicly admitted they know nothing about X and they're just there because of their political skill, they'd be out of a job within the week.

This argument just applies to authority figures. But then, in my experience, in real life changing your mind is less of a deal; sure, that one guy or whatever might call you out on it but it is not intrinsically a huge deal. (The resulting rearrangement of relationships may be a big deal, but I wouldn't call that being mocked for changing your mind, that's a consquence of changing circumstances.)
Well it's being sold at auction, not by the first party and it's very likely that any questions a bidder has can't be answered anyways. You take your chances and the payoff is a good deal for you. The auction makes money from volume.

I agree though that changing the odometer is criminal to do. But one shouldn't be buying cars at auction unless they know what they're doing. Buying a used FedEx van at auction comes with a few known... stipulations.

It is not obvious to me that diversity is better.

I, for one, like Google moves and like Chrome. I think that web will be better with a single engine. Safari is alternative and I hate it because it always breaks complex layouts and requires additional work.

Linux is a single server OS and it's good.

IE was bad because Microsoft is bad.
Exactly. A super famous person like Wayne Gretzky is really hard to protect.

For fun, you can try to tease ChatGPT with information like. "Who is [Name1]?", it won't know, but then add "[Name1] is considered the greatest [Occupation1] in the history of the [Organization1]". Greatest is now a big clue. Add "[Name1] has the most points in history". Points is a big clue, it's some kind of game or sport.. etc. It will eventually figure it out, but I've seen it guess wrong with like Michael Jordan instead.

And type them into my log when I'm at home. Sounds cumbersome, but it's in fact quite easy. I also log the time I spend on the self-tracking project and while it's one of my main projects, it only takes 10 to 15 minutes per day.
In many languages gender is now associated with the form of a word (e.g. all "-ité" and "-tion" words are feminine in French) much more than with the word's meaning. The made-up but plausibly French words "ternigation" and "vivalité" would definitely be feminine.
Exactly. 20% is also very low. Maybe consider complaining when it’s progressive up to 90%.
I assume every website I look at on Chrome is sent to Google, I don't see Microsoft not doing the same. But the thing Google has and Microsoft wants is to be in full control of web standards.

Did you read your own article? Kroger and Albertsons have not merged so "inflation" would not apply to this non existent merger. Even if they did merge their market would still be around 10-12% which is far from a monopoly.

Some odometers have common problems. For several years Toyota's digital odometers had a bug that caused them to stop counting at 299,999 miles. Porsche's mechanical odometers from the late 1970's through the mid 1980's had a plastic gear that tended to strip out and cause them to stop counting at some random point.

It is possible FedEx's odometers all came from the same supplier and all had a MTBF of around 300,000 miles - which would explain driving another 100k miles before selling the trucks when they reach 400,000 miles.

The nature of the “change their mind” in question is critical. If it pertains to business leadership or entrepreneurship, a change of mind is perfectly acceptable and even desirable.

The issue arises when people “change their mind” regarding some moral or ideological stances solely for their benefit, especially when such changes impact others. Because maintaining the old stance would adversely affect them - that is when mockery should start.

Also labeling this as merely "changing their minds" is a misleading oversimplification, a tactic used to rationalize unsavory behaviors. However, it's important to remember that the world isn't that simple; it's a complex tapestry of nuances and gray areas.
They just need three options: Unacceptable, Acceptable, and Exceptional. Anything other than "Acceptable" requires a justification.
At the small volume of data where you could "just put stuff in S3 and search it later", the cost of tracing with a SaaS vendor is also very small. Far smaller than the developer time needed to set up something else.

You’ve listed excellent reasons for wanting to live in suburbs, which confirms my suspicion (suspicion because I don’t live in the US, so I don’t have any experience with US-style suburbs) that OP’s claim that suburbs make life worse on every possible metric is BS.
Aren't there concerns around the encryption used by Tinc? (https://www.tinc-vpn.org/documentation/Security.html#Securit...)

It's probably fine for personal projects though, and indeed simple and very flexible (maybe too much), well suited for connecting IoT devices.
I wonder what SOTA open-source PII stripping libraries there are?
Something like https://github.com/microsoft/presidio for stripping out PII might fill the role I expected https://github.com/capeprivacy/private-ai to do.
I'd say it's far better because messing at the OS level is straight out evil.

On Firefox I can stand the suggestion to use Chrome when I use google, I can even block it with uBlock, but haven't really bothered to.

Now, when they keep tweaking my OS settings, and use every upgrade as the excuse to reset my browser settings over and over, then I get mad. When I get ads on my start menu too.
That's why I don't use windows anymore.
Every year I pick a different NFL team to go all the way. They way I see it if the players can so can I.
I've never worked in a bar or restaurant. I used to go and enjoy my food or drinks at my own pace and whenever the server would ask "Can I get you anything" I would respond "No" if I didn't need anything.

A new friend that had worked in restaurants told me that the server is constantly asking because it is the polite way of saying "Order something or leave because you are wasting the revenue making potential of this table by just sitting here."

Now I tend to watch the line waiting to get a table if we are finished and just talking. I would rather sit and talk but am I depriving the owner and staff of money? Maybe? Is that my problem? I don't know.
It mystifies me that people put so much stock into sites that are so obviously, easily gamed. I don't know if Goodreads is currently worse than something absolutely execrable like Yelp, but I ditched it years ago when it became obvious there were organized groups who would systematically shitpost and downvote anything that didn't fit their particular taste...everything from cretins pushing things like "it's not science fiction if it isn't 'hard scifi' following my preferred tropes and I will not stand for any deviation from orthodoxy" to simple "I downvote anything by gay people or women". I don't have time to curate the reviewers, which means it's simply not a credible source.
You taking about the meager stimulus checks that was literally years ago now?
IIRC Cmd+shift+4 by default stores to a file, but it is easily changeable in settings. Mine has been set to store to clipboard since a long time ago (since i mostly ever take them to send to someone in chat or to insert into my own notes, for which clipboard is exactly what i need).

To change it: open Screenshot app (either cmd+shift+5 or from the app launcher), click Options in the center bar, and set "Save to" to "clipboard". Now, all screenshots in the future will be going by default to clipboard. You can also pick many other destinations for saving, including any arbitrary directory or many other apps (e.g., mail, preview, etc.).

After some googling TIL, apparently if you use Ctrl key modifier with any screenshot shortcuts (cmd+shift+3/4), it will store to clipboard regardless of your setting. Kinda nifty for those who switch between storing to file/clipboard all the time.
Someone always asks this, and it's been answered many times before.

In short: this specific result probably has no practical applications just now.

But there are several points to consider:

0: The techniques developed to answer the question might be useful for other applications;

1: It can be fun to chase down problems like this;

2: Sometimes results like this end up being useful decades, even centuries later;

3: The skills the researchers develop might be able to be used on other problems;

4: Not everything has to be useful. Consider music, art, hobbies.

As examples of some of these:

a: Elliptic curves were initially studied purely out of curiosity. Now they form the basis of modern cryptosystems;

b: Factorising Integers was regarded as the pursuit of cranks, until it became an important tool in breaking cryptosystems;

c: Latin Squares and Lattices were studied well before they were suggested as a possibility for post-quantum cryptography;

d: Graph Theory was chased purely because it was interesting, and now forms the foundation of a gazillion algorithms;

e: Eigenvectors were studied purely out of curiosity, then suddenly they became the basis of the Page Rank algorithm;

f: Non-Euclidean Geometry was created purely to show that classic geometry was probably right, then showed it was actually "wrong", then turned out to be useful in relativity.

And so on.

There are more, and thousands, possibly millions of words have been written on the subject of how pure research, pursued simply because it was interesting, has turned out (in some cases!) to be useful.

The 9th Dedekind number is unlikely to be useful, but its pursuit may be valuable in ways we can't imagine.
>> In the Netherlands, however, it's relatively common to talk about serious things. Even with strangers. This makes every conversation 'risky'.

Sometimes it's good to talk about serious things with someone not directly involved with your life (i.e. no skin in the game). People even pay for this as a service, I think it's called... um... therapy.

This matches my experience in Azure. I'd add a few more:

o Log program inputs, outputs, and state changes. If you log something like "We are in function X", that's useless without a stack trace showing how we got to that state.

o Assume your developers are going to forgo logging "the right thing" and instrument the ** out of your application infrastructure (request/response processing, DB accesses, 3rd-party API calls, process lifecycle events, etc...).

o Make logging easy. I may get flamed but I think dependency injecting loggers is an anti-pattern. Logging is such a cross-cutting concern that its easier to have a static Logger or Metric object that is configured at startup. You do need some magic to prevent context from spilling from one request to another, but at least C# has these language features (AsyncLocal<T>) and I assume others do too.

o Your monitoring alert configuration should be in source control.
>If instead of detecting the smoke (e2e) you try to monitor all the data like pressure in gas pipes, all the pipes fittings, how many lighters are in the building and where, etc, you will wake up every night 10 times for nothing

Without this you'll always be awoken by smoke, and at that point it's too late... there's already a fire. However, if you can monitor other things (gas pipes, lighters, etc), you might be able to remediate a problem before it starts smoking or burning.

There's no one-size-fits-all. Start with some obvious failure (e2e tests/checks; aka smoke), and when you root-cause, add in additional checks to hopefully catch things before the smoke. However, this also requires you update (or remove) these additional checks as your software and infra change... that's what most people forget, and then alert fatigue sets in, and everything becomes a non-alert.
Okay, so Kroger and Albertsons have not merged. Why are you blaming current inflation on a merger that doesn't exist?

Those industries you named are far from consolidated. The largest veterinarian (VCA) owns 20% market share. The largest air ambulance one owns 30% (Air Methods). The largest general ambulance service (Envision) owns just 10%.
The reason Hong Kong pushes crypto is because their tech talent, or lack of, can't compete against Silicon Valley nor Shenzen/Beijing.

Hong Kong wants to build a tech scene but the regulators there have no clue on technology. So they simply latch onto buzz words such as IoT, blockchain, AI, etc. In addition, Hong Kong is very much a financial center, so their workforce is interested in trading/exploiting crypto.
But Cheers was only that way for the main characters. Look at all of the background patrons for contrast.
that sounds awful, here we have unexpected food controls where you have to have a flyer hanging in a window with you latest review failure to hang it up gives fines and eventually closure if enough violations are made. when unsanitary conditions are found a fine and a bad review until next inspection, it works this way for all food related businesses. this seems to work out for the most part as people walking into your establishment can check your sanitary conditions and choose not to go if it doesnt have a smiley, this keeps most food operators honest.
No, it just misunderstands the request in the sense that it mismaps input and expected out.

I use different browsers for different things: let me fucking chose which browser to use.

I am currently wondering how easy it would be to build a "shim browser" that you can set as default but does not actually open the page, it only list the urls apps tried to open and lets you copy them to whichever browser you prefer.
I just clicked through that link you provided (jobbank.gc.ca) and there's nothing that says florists need "1k hours" of training. It's unclear that they even need to be licensed at all. I also Googled for "license quebec florist" and didn't get any meaningful results.[1]

Can you provide better citation, or point explicitly to the licensing requirements?

I’m not sure how AGPL would prevent you from hosting on the same network. It’s pretty standard among OSS software companies to prevent Google, Amazon, et al. from swooping in and creating a competitor using their open source code.
Yes, and we are psychologically biased to think things are getting worse. On this sort of corruption/large scale fraud in the US, it simply is not.
I'm curious on what made it ungrammatical? I'm assuming you mean "they" used to not be singular? That somewhat surprises me, as I've never been distracted by talking about someone with the pronoun "they." Indeed, google tells me that singular "they" traces back to at least 1375? (https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they... is a full article on it. Amusing and interesting history of the word.)

Yes. I use it in production for that exact purpose. It only requires that one node is reachable via public IP address.

An advantage that tinc has over wireguard is that it can do local discovery and direct communication if your devices happen to be in the same local network.

I also didn't like concerts for 20 years because they were way too loud. I would take cheap foam earplugs for mowing the lawn and all you could hear/feel was bass.

Then I got some Etymotic high fidelity earplugs and concerts are enjoyable. They reduce all frequencies equally so the music still sounds good.

in german 'content' is 'zufrieden', which is quite different from 'glücklich'. 'lucky' would be 'glück'. translation tools suggest 'geluk' for dutch. in german 'glücklich' and 'glück" are very distinct, but i am guessing in dutch the words overlap more in use and meaning.
Ask HN: How Do You Manage and Schedule Everything in Your Life?
With all the tasks we need to juggle in modern life - work, family, friends, hobbies - finding the right balance can be quite challenging. I'm curious about how everyone effectively manages their time and how they keep track of their schedules.

Do you prefer traditional methods like physical planners or more modern approaches like digital calendars? Have anyone of you explored AI solutions for time management, as I recently came across an easy AI scheduling tool that piqued my interest.

Share your experiences with time management and any useful tips or tools that you rely on. It's always great to learn from others and improve our own strategies!
I think people have started using “dark pattern” to mean any UX decisions they disagree with.

There is a hugely substantive difference between this feature being on by default and say, making a ”reject tracking” button in 2 point grey font. Dark patterns are primarily things that if presented equally would result in a different decision which often go directly against the users self interest.

I don’t see that here.
