Yep. My own understanding of American politics became so much more clear once I realized that many people are lying about their reasons for supporting/opposing certain issues.

A lot of people take issue when someone points out lying as a likely explanation, because they think that assumes malice, but here's the thing: it's not about malice, it's about self-interest. Some folks will lie to benefit themselves. As you say, it's very simple.
I guess the analogy still holds with gravity instead of charge? So while the "real" mass of each object is compressed so "small" that normally colliding will be improbable, their gravitational influence is much much bigger and pretty much fill the entire empty space. And this is without even considering the milky way center that influences the whole galaxy.

The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) is now live, affecting major tech platforms like Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

• Key Features:

Legal accountability for content

Restrictions on targeted ads

Algorithmic transparency

• Compliance Steps:

Google, Meta, and others updating transparency measures

More user control over feeds and ads in the EU

• Penalties:

Up to 6% of global turnover for non-compliance

The DSA is expected to have global reach as companies adjust their policies.
It's not intended to run at 6000fps. That's just how quickly it will run without any form of limiter. You can use your GPU settings to limit the framerate, or many games have a built in frame-limiter.
They all underwent TNR, and were feral past the point of anyone adopting them. Debatable whether more wildlife died, since they would have had to hunt more for hunger's sake.
I violently agree with you and am stunned at the amount of pro EU/anti US rhetoric on this forum.

You make an excellent point about the EU surveillance laws. They clearly don’t give a shit about privacy. None of the folks disagreeing ITT seem to be willing to discuss that point.

The EU spends more resources regulating US corporations than they do building their own. If they want to reverse course on their economic trajectory they’re gonna have to start competing in a genuine way.
Trust the foundation that takes over the project

But part of the value the foundation is pitching is that it has companies donating engineering time to keep the project well managed.

My concern is spacelift and some of the other companies have no track record of being GOOD at opensource. Not as part of the terraform community or opensourcing things they've built in-house.
I learned late in my Dads time in a nursing home I should pay for as much support as I can. Elder care attorneys and private social workers to help assess the situation, check in, help give my dad a voice. Even I, a person without any mental impairment, could hon hope to understand the complex programs in the US like Medicaid, VA, Medicare. It’s a hodgepodge.

Also contact a good estate lawyer. Who can often be the same as elder care lawyer. They’ll help you get a lot of the estate and also powers of attorney in order.

Parents may not cooperate or understand. That gets really hard and can burn people out. So take care of yourself too.

Best of luck to you

I would think the bigger concern is all the telemetry.
the thread you're posting in started with a specific claim at the below link:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37244366

> "The messaging in journalism has been so thoroughly hijacked that people trust gossip more"

that's the claim I was unconvinced by, that's the claim we're discussing, and if you have a different claim, a different thread would be the appropriate place for it

I take your lack of defending the above claim to mean you agree with me that the claim lacks sufficient evidence to be persuasive

your own claim about it being at an all time low isn't particularly relevant to that claim, and seems like moving the goalposts from it (only because you're posting in a thread about that claim, of course - if you started your own thread about your own topic, one wouldn't get that impression). But if it isn't, we can discuss it once we've finished the previous discussion, about the aforementioned claim

as far as I can tell, though, that claim this thread is about, is still out there, and nobody has conceded it to be false, so we'll just have to stay on that topic in this thread until we reach consensus on it, and move onto yours after that.
Among other reasons: because we foisted a big chunk of the social safety net onto companies instead of making it an everyone-pays public responsibility.

Social security, healthcare, various insurances... In other countries, everyone pays for those and the government provides them. Here, the cost is foisted disproportionately on employers and their employees (with those between jobs excluded from those services).
This is a wildly pedantic point about the probabilistic nature of electron clouds.

When interpreting electrons as particles, the atom is mostly empty. The position of the electron is not known with certainty, but the number and mass of the electrons is and it is very small compared to the size of the entire atom. Volumetrically electrons are point particles and take up no space at all.

When interpreting electrons as quantum waves the term "empty" is largely meaningless.
Hell of an exit strategy.
Such hyperbole. If you seriously think there will be no foreign business activity in China in twenty years let’s bet real cash on that.

It is true that China like most countries at some point is experiencing a crisis at the moment.

As an aside, I think Xi needs to go. Deng Xiaoping’s strategy was better imho. The semi-planned economy approach has worked surprisingly well for now but it’s clear it’s running out of steam. China has already suffered greatly due to such a strategy before.
No reason at all?
Alongside what everyone else mentioned, I believe a part of it is that the margins are being spent on frivolous; Instead of putting the money back into the business it is hoarded or spent on personal goods and services by those that control the company/business/corporation. There is is inflationary reasons but we don't want to accept this fact or think about it at all. And yes giving employees proper wages and time off is an expense a business should pay and this is where a lot of wealth is being taken out of from the middle class.
It's definitely hyperbole, but the core idea that learning Chinese is rapidly becoming less useful for Westerners is fair. It'd be a fantastic idea if you live in BRICS and friends though. I expect China to essentially dominate that group for the rest of my lifetime, at the least.
I used to carry a big desktop replacement but now I think different and carry an iPad. I use it as a terminal for a better windows computer than the one I used to lug around.

I use two (2) applications for productivity: Safari to run web applications and the RDP client for everything else.

I think different. Instead of getting an expensive special-purpose keyboard, I have my choice of any compact Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Being good at using terraform is very different than being an opensource maintainer and community builder.

I'd love to emphasize that many of us tried to contribute to Terraform in the past, but HashiCorp became somewhat hesitant to review and accept PRs which massively slowed down innovation for Terraform.

Do you have links to PRs people from your organization pushed that weren't reviewed/accepted by HashiCorp?
Capitalism breeds competition, and the simplest way to compete is on price.

I suspect that each of these owners is likely speaking in good faith, and at their current margins they probably would have to lay-off other people. But what I think they are failing to account for is that this will effect their competitors as well, so they may be able to compete across the board after a price increase.

It's probably a naive thought
Besides any of its standalone functions, an iPad makes a useful secondary display when traveling with a Mac, plus it serves as pretty large external battery pack for any other devices if needed. I’m not backpacking everything, I usually have a carry on, but it never felt more cumbersome than toting a magazine around.
Interesting.

I find it difficult to find good products, especially electronics (my Wavlink docking station died after less than a year of use).

If there were a reviewer I could follow that pointed me to a menu of quality products, I'd toss them the referral commission.

Too many "review" websites seem to be auto-generated fluff, that doesn't really filter out good products. It'd be refreshing to find something more genuine.
Hey Zacklein,

First, the website is clean and minimal. However, as the scroll is confined to the contents broken up into columns (I'm on a Desktop with big screens), can you please (I think) add a think vertical line to let the reader know the content is bound there and hence bring their mouse/pointer to scroll within that content. I could not scroll while I was away from that specific content area.

I have seen this type of gardens in San Francisco. I thought it was a common thing - something weird and odd but nice. A garden on the roadside, and not part of a home/building. There is another which I pass every time I took my walk. This is in the block next to the recent under-construction building fire in Hayes Valley, somewhere between Oak and Page. The garden is on the roadside, they aren't selling the flowers, it was kind not attended much and was locked.

Find me a dictionary that will turn to the correct page when I say or type "what's a word that means (thing)" and yes, I'd consider it intelligent.

But still, you don't have to agree with me about what intelligence means. But it is important in these discussions to understand that not every participant shares the same definition of the term intelligence.
I'm confused at what you think isn't a fair take. It is pretty screwy to replace existing English translation (useful to people who speak English) with phonetic transcriptions of Chinese words into Latin characters (useful to... who?). Sounds dumb to me.

> Mandarin is unlike other languages in that it's written form is famously ideographic. Phonetic translation is all that is done in any pair {L, M}. I assure you there is no such thing as a literal translation in any language.

There's no Mandarin/English translation for a "STOP" sign? I expect there is such a thing as a literal translation for most short instructions, the type of which you might see on a sign, for instance.

It's not a legitimate consideration though.
The article does not answer the question(implied) it poses in the title. There is barely an attempt to answer the question. It is a bait and switch.

> Lonnie Golden, a labor economist at Penn State, said in survey after survey, American workers tend to say that making more money is a higher priority than having access to more paid time off

This is close to answering the question, however, it does not address why there is no national PTO law. It explains why workers do not take time off.

> Beyond that, Golden said, there’s always been an American discomfort with leisure and time off, and a cultural bias to display our commitment to work as a sign of status.

This is closer. As with the first example, this is just explaining why individuals choose not to take time off.

The answer is the USA is reluctant to put mandates on employers that would interfere with free association of entities due to our founding being largely influenced by the idea that individuals should be free to make contracts between others. The federal government is also limited in the constitution to only regulating interstate commerce. There are of course many examples where the federal government has ignored this thanks mostly to Wickard v. Filburn (1948).

Businesses don't usually compete on price. They're price setters in general and people are price takers.
> if the signs in China are not translated into English TODAY

Could you give me an example? I just Googled "beijing airport sign" and everything seems translated as expected, e.g., Gates, Beijing Capital Airport, International Departure, Drinking Water, etc.

I assume you don't mean you want Beijing written as "North Capital"?
It's simple.

A laptop is a keyboard-oriented device, packing a,lot of computing power. It has the shortest battery life, and requires a desk, or at least a seat, to operate comfortably.

A phone is a handheld device, one which is always on you. It necessarily has a smaller screen, no separate keyboard, and only has a decent battery life because it sleeps most of the time. It can have serious peak performance, but has a hard time sustaining it (ask Ingress players).

An iPad (or another tablet if you feel fancy) is a two-hands device with a good, easy to use touchscreen, and software built around it. It's a natural choice for a graphic artist, for instance. An iPad has a more tolerable onscreen keyboard than a phone. Also its screen is large enough to enjoy movies, etc, so it's a convenient visual media consumption device, more so than a phone. I had laptops with touchscreens; they were fun, but not nearly as handy.

(For the record: I travel with a phone and a Linux laptop.)
> Just minutes before this post was scheduled to go live, researchers learned that the certificate had been restored in Windows. It’s unclear how or why that occurred.

You'd think depending on the person, they'd travel with
EITHER their phone OR their iPad OR their laptop

You're missing a few major scenarios.

- The iPad works as a second monitor for a Mac laptop. Great for creative/tech people.

- If people are traveling for work, they are bringing their work laptop which may have corporate lockdown/spyware software installed. Therefore using their work laptop for entertainment might not be possible or optimal. (Not to be crass, but: watching porn in a hotel room is a pretty common use case)

I'd prefer to travel lighter (and I do when possible) but I don't find iPad+Macbook to be an onerous load for a airplane carry-on bag. Although, a smaller person or somebody with an injury or disability might feel differently.

At least - thanks to the EU - soon they can all share the same USB-C charger.

But, they already can? You do need a separate cable for the iPhone of course, which is annoying. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Four-Port-Charger-USB-C-...
And what if the request isn’t made via DoH (very few today are)? Do we just fallback to the existing Web PKI? If so we’d now have two systems to support until everything is migrated to DoH, which can very well be never.

Also, how do we know which certificate to use for DoH?

> So despite its flaws and mistakes, I still find it to be a tremendously useful tool, even if only to point me in the right direction.

Much of this resonates. That said, I get tremendous value simply by writing things down (or dictating them) and replying to my own question. I would expect that a sizable fraction of people have forgotten about these strategies and/or don't use them when they are most useful. For many, there is tremendous muscle memory to run a Hooli search almost on mental autopilot. Who has time to slow down and write a well-conceived question? Or perhaps we should turn it around ... On a longer time horizon, who would want to waste time with poorly-conceived questions?

It is the question that starts the process. So we should ask good questions. Do we? I'd be curious about the usage data OpenAI collects. I do my best to lower expectations about people in general, but I'm confident I'd still be unprepared for the level of thought put into questions.

In Canada's case, you also had the CCP essentially kidnap two random Canadians who happened to be in China as retaliation for Canada's cooperation in exercising a US warrant against a Chinese national[1].

I did jury duty at the Crown Court a few years ago, and met a Debian maintainer and MSR researcher over the course of a week. And far more oddly, I met a friend of one of the Dasher developers who saw me using it to reply to some mail because my keyboard had broken.

In a jury lounge with around fifty randomly selected strangers this doesn't seem probable, and I can't imagine a similar outcome if I'd been at Bedford(which I think is the next closest crown court).

I'm more accepting of bumping in to fellow travellers at the curry house or pub, because we're choosing to go where others suggest. Still, Cambridge is joyously weird.

Note to self: Probably should have used the jury duty downtime to meet some interesting "normal" people though.

I'm not ethnically Chinese but I studied Mandarin in college in the early 2000s then moved to Taiwan for almost a decade. I don't regret doing it, but it didn't provide me any sort of business or career advantage like everyone thought it would in the early 2000s
There is no way Pyanodon's could be considered the "greatest" Factorio mod. 99% of Factorio players go "that looks like an awful time" when confronted with a single refining flow chart for a single mineral.

I recently started doing more party drugs as a replacement for dating women. Dating in 2023 is just an absolutely miserable experience and party drugs are not, so I setup fun party plans instead of dates now. I've been on enough dates in my life to realize when the odds and likelihood of ROI are not on my side. I'm happier now and I meet plenty of women; they just aren't the types I'm likely to marry.
Oh, influencer "store fronts" as main drivers of retail on Amazon? Sure seems popular for at least 5 years now. And there's a cross-platform promotion of "unlocking" influencer storefronts via Tiktok user count. Not sure how much Amazon is paying for it but there is a dedicated "Amazon-ads" team at Tiktok.

IMO it's a way to stay relevant. And, it works. Customers are more likely to buy more than one item from Amazon if they feel connected to the site in some way. What better way to do this than via the "influencer" persona. It's a solid marketing strategy.

It does require monitoring of influencer behavior as potentially brand damaging, which means influencers are signing up to be monitored by Amazon in some capacity. Kinda creepy, but hey! It's a way to learn about your customer group by which influencer pages they interact with (on Tiktok and Amazon store front). It's smart.
