As a software engineer in a fast paced high expectations team, I’ve come to realize writing tests is a good way to show this charitable attitude especially when you are new and have little knowledge and little leverage.
Safeway might be OK for shoppers, but it's terrible for the workers. My Grandma worked there from 1965 to 1985, and watched the decline in the 80s. It was a really good paying job with a good union and good benefits when she started. My brother and cousin worked there a decade ago. Today, the union is a joke, and the hours and pay are the same as any other minimum wage job.
> What's the point of buying new generations if exploits are just going to slow down desktop performance by up to 30%?

Probably in the fact that the older generations are susceptible to these exploits too, so mitigations will make your older CPU much slower than the new generation, even when the new generation is 30% slower than it can be.
You keep repeating your objection as though you haven't read any of the replies. I really think what you're saying is not true.

> No, they can't --- the fees are different in neighboring municipalities.

So? Who cares? Why do I need to know this as a consumer? I'm sure a McDonald's in the city pays higher rents than one in the country, yet both will sell me a coke for $1 without ever making me think about that fact.

> There isn't one single all-in rate they can charge everybody who walks in the door, which is the whole problem they're complaining about.

If the current pricing for a 100mbps Internet plan is $40 + $1 (local tax) in one town and $40 + $3 (local tax) in the next town over, the ISP is welcome to just create one label for that plan at a $42 price point (with no enumerated taxes/fees shown at all) and abstract away the computation/remittance of those taxes internally. Call it $45 to really play it safe. Sucks for the people in the lower-tax town, but this solves the problem the ISPs are crying about.

Botox works pretty well to keep facial skin tight.

When done sparingly, it looks extremely natural -- even up close and in person. My brother's wife and mother-in-law look about twenty years younger than their ages.

We've all probably seen some people who look like botox disasters or plastic surgery disasters with unnatural looking faces, but what you don't necessarily notice is all of the people doing it in a more low-key way.

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned is facial moisturization for men. I get the impression that men rarely used to do this and that it's still somewhat rare. Trust me: it works. People are generally surprised by my age.

People have mentioned reduced sun exposure and physical labor. I don't know that I buy this. I don't think the cast members of Cheers were exactly toiling in the fields all day long.

Reduction of smoking is definitely a factor.
I think this has it backwards: Why are adults today more like children?

Adults, including myself to some extent if I'm honest, in multiple ways act much more like children than any other age in history. This is a very recent phenomena, and I'm continually shocked by how unquestioned it is by most "adults" I know.

My suspicions is that our culture of neoteny is a byproduct of late capitalism. The ideal consumer is a mental and emotional toddler with the income of an adult professional: constantly wanting a new shiny toy or tasty treat to occupy their time, without the need for parental supervision to limit their ability to mean those desires.

When I look around I increasingly see the definition of "adult" being pushed back further and further in age (in another post people are going on about the myth that "mental maturity" starts at 25!)."Adults" that refuse to outgrow the wants of a child leads us to a world where we have dessert with every meal and Christmas is everyday (Amazon makes that possible). It also means a world were individuals refuse to take any responsibility for the reality they participate in.

No one is going to build a power plant they "mostly" can't run and make revenue from. So you're going to be subsidizing the full build and expense of a gas plant that you plan to never actually sell power from.

Which means you get to add that cost onto the cost of whatever renewables you're building - both capital, maintenance, and support infrastructure - which you can't offset. Basically just a flat set of costs on top of whatever building your renewables cost, and not insignificant ones (can't run a gas a plant you don't use without gas, therefore you also need gas infrastructure...)

I've seen a version of this in person.

Used to go to this restaurant after my Saturday morning movie, just to have lunch. This wee gal working there on that shift, usually, noted that I would pull my ticket stub out (along with other things I was planning on pitching) and began to regularly ask me what I thought of whatever movie I had seen.

One Saturday I came in and was instantly struck with a kind of floating anxiety, that something was wrong. Well, it smelled like someone who was very, very ill. I see her and her color is all off: pale but for two spots of color. Her respiration is fast, shallow, and her rib cage looks lifted. As in there is a lot of pain on one or both sides above the hips. When I get to the counter, I ask if she's alright trying to play cool about it (inside I am freaking out a bit). She says she's going home in a few hours. And what can I do?

I can't finish my lunch, I'm so keyed up because everything is telling me that this is a very sick person. As I leave, I am trying to be casual but again ask if she has someone to come pick her up. She says she'll be fine.

She's not there for the next four or five weeks.

When she returns, she tells me that she collapsed a couple of hours later and spent a week in the hospital with septicemia from her kidney infection from some obstruction. Apparently kidney stuff runs in her family when they get older. But she's young. I look at her nails, something in the corners. I use my nose again. Because this is kind of a healthy place. Again, trying to be casual, "Hey, do you like spinach?" She proceeds to tell me how she loves spinach and just "grazes" on it constantly at work. "Handfuls," according to her. Because this place throws uncooked spinach leaves on everything.

I scribble down on the back of a receipt a note for her to bring to her doctor during followup, because my guess is she just grazed herself into some oxalate stones. Been very wary of spinach since.
The use of more brittle lead-free solder has almost certainly contributed to higher failure rates of BGAs under thermal cycling, leading to more ewaste generation. But at least the ewaste is environmentally friendly...?
> MySQL is a successful product that was sold to Sun / Oracle for a BILLION dollars

"Successful exit" is not the same thing as a sustainable product or business model. I mentioned several key concerns in my previous reply, which you didn't address here at all. Specifically, if dual-licensed GPL was the best way to go, it wouldn't be the case that entities outside of MySQL/Oracle (e.g. AWS) were capturing a huge amount of MySQL's value/revenue, possibly exceeding that of the product's own revenue. Why else would development be shifted to the managed-service-only, closed-source MySQL Heatwave product?

> MariaDB and Percona Server are good examples of competing businesses

Yes, I'm very familiar with the MySQL ecosystem (click my profile). I mentioned several concerns specifically about MariaDB in my previous reply and you did not address those at all.

You also didn't answer my question about whether you've ever run a commercial open source business, so I must conclude that you haven't. I do, and frankly I don't appreciate when other people -- who seemingly don't havie direct personal experience in this area -- attempt to confidently lecture me about how I supposedly chose the wrong license.

Listing Red Hat in your reply also seems a bit ridiculous, given all the latest contention in that space over Red Hat threatening to cancel customer subscriptions if they republish RHEL's sources. If GPL-based software was the panacea you claim, things like this wouldn't be happening with ever-increasing frequency over the past couple years.

No, LLVM definitely still has big problems. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/45725 is an example, the symptom in Rust is that you can write what is in effect a pointer comparison in which LLVM ends up claiming that two things are different, although they are also identical...
One should also expect it to take time. Perhaps the best analogy I've heard is that trust is a glass jar -- it can be slowly diminished or emptied out all at once (or the jar could indeed shatter), but absent extreme circumstances, the way in which it is usually built is by adding one marble of trust at a time and without doing anything to damage the trust until the jar is full.

"how old is the universe?"

The age of the observable universe is 11 billion years, which is in close agreement with the inflationary model prediction that the age of the universe is two-thirds of the Hubble time.

In contrast, when I ask Google "how old is the universe" I get as top result:

26.7 billion years old
Current estimates place the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.

Yes, this is exactly how I approach professional communication. My emails sent to different stakeholders vary wildly in style.

If you’re invested in getting something out of a conversational partner, it’s obviously best to write in a way that sounds like a thought they, themselves, could have had— in fact, are having. And contra 'ketzo’s original point, I deeply appreciate that so many we-have-to-say-mostly male tech stakeholders purposely don’t massage their language that much, and thereby make their brains that much easier to hijack.

I bring my effusively positive personality to HN largely because I don’t have any real motive or theory of change, other than possibly making it a slightly more comfortable environment for people who will read my comments precisely as written.

Interesting; if someone does this, do they have to pay a premium at all, or are they able to buy them at the exact current market rate? Also is this just for publicly traded companies or private ones as well? At least in the US, my understanding is that private companies set the "fair market value" of their shares themselves, so I'd be worried that someone could purposely set the price low to be able to buy them out more cheaply.
What is the "it's for the children" rationale? I would imagine wfh for the parents would be better for kids as they would get to spend more time with their parents.

One solution might be to have lights that light up when it's time for your column to deplane.

A more evil solution would be to use physical barriers that only open when it's a given column's turn. Maybe replace the seatbelts with rollercoaster-style restraints for extra fun.

> What about families with children, couples, and groups in general?

Have them deplane either first or last. The page seems to suggest that waiting for the next "wave" ain't a huge deal, so having groups wait until their last column is ready to go (or worst case, until all individuals have deplaned) could probably work.

> Is it really even going to make much of a difference?

Maybe not in isolation, but maybe the aggregate effects (e.g. more flights per day) would justify it?

openSUSE was one of the first Linux distros I ever used. When I picked it up, I was just a kid, and new to the whole GNU/Linux universe. I quite scared of the command line, and along with the relatively familiar KDE3 desktop, openSUSE's emphasis on comprehensive graphical configurators appealed to me.

As I grew more comfortable with Unix fundamentals and I learned more about the GNU/Linux desktop userland, I left openSUSE behind because I didn't care so much about the GUI configuration tools like YaST. I bounced between Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch, and more obscure derivatives of each, experimenting and learning a lot about the 'bones' of a Linux distro: the init system, the display server, the initramfs tooling, the filesystem, etc. I became especially fascinated with the 'bones' that truly make a class of distros unique: the package manager and the developer tooling used by maintainers to build the distro.

At some point I revisited openSUSE and realized that underneath the more 'superficial' things— important things, but things that are visible from the get-go— I'd loved about the distro as a newcomer were some truly impressive 'bones'. I can back to find that zypper was the most powerful, ergonomic package manager (of its type) that I'd ever seen. I was blown away by the flexibility and diligence of the Open Build Service infrastructure and how easy it made it for me to maintain repositories for nearly any distro, and grateful for the generosity of the openSUSE org for letting basically anyone make an account and leverage that sophisticated build infrastructure for free. The fact that they even automated QA for pre-boot stuff using screen scrapers and QEMU left a lasting impression on me.

Some years after that reintroduction, I fell in love with NixOS, which is now my daily driver everywhere. But I still have a lot of respect and affection for openSUSE.

I hope this change helps drive openSUSE forward over the long term. openSUSE is a great operating system that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a traditional distro that's pleasant to use and easy to maintain. openSUSE seems extremely underrated, at least here in the US.

And everyone should check out the Open Build Service. You know how on GitHub, you can browse to any repo and click the 'Fork' button to get your own copy that you can hack on and publish? OBS gives you that for Linux packages. You can automatically put together a repo full of packages that track whatever upstream source you like, but build with your own custom patches, build for your CPU architecture, etc. You can even fork a package from a different distro (or different release of your own distro), have it build against whatever you're running, and then get dumped neatly into a repo for you. (All builds happen in clean slate VMs, so you are very unlikely to miss any dependencies.)
You can, it is explicitly supported along with a few distributions. But you just wanted to be snarky.
