That's absolutely true. The game matters. Games with a strong story can put you in the role of someone with unfamiliar backgrounds and challenges where other games are more about reflexes. I think they likely all have some sort of value. Fine motor skills, teamwork, dealing with success/failure, spatial reasoning, etc. but a good story is great for lessons you can't get with space invaders or bejeweled.
Yeah, it's actually a _feature_ if you've never been lost in the shit show that is node_modules before. I highly prefer Deno's style.
it appears you are coming from an area/culture where this idea is ridiculous or unheard of.

i can assure you i meant what i said. there is absolutely nothing wrong with having children at 20, or even earlier. however it requires a community and a society that is supportive of that. it works very well in china, because the culture there does support it.

traditionally, the young couple lives together with the husbands family and can rely on their guidance and support raising the children. this way there is no problem with the young parents continuing their studies or working, because the household is managed by the grandparents. where i used to live every morning i would see lots of grandparents who themselves where in their 40s or 50s playing with babies while the young parents were off to work.

i understand that in western culture of independence where every couple lives on their own away from the grandparents, and with jokes about in-laws, this is hard to imagine. but really this is a different way to look at life and i believe it has many advantages.
Unbelievable how lazy people have become. Obviously people physically incapable are excused....

I think it's a flaw inherent to the current system. You have to make money to live and you do that, not by appeasing human readers, but by appeasing an algorithm. The world is not easily reduced into clear classifications but we're currently forcing it into them
Because all of us want stupid shit?

Of course, that's better than sweeping reactionary laws like the patriot act and I think well-reasoned, principled, holistic consideration is too much to expect from Congress.
Usually the issue there is nobody knows it exists. Or they are intimidated by not having skills, and having worked for WalMart, no expectation of any meaningful training.
I have been thinking that something along these lines should apply to most embedded systems, from mobile phones to game consoles to IoT devices. And more, for cases when companies go under: industrial control automation, etc.

However, it's very hard to police: what if the company only provides a header file or so? Or the basic OS but not the UI?

Moreover, what counts as "support"? There have been cases where companies refuse to consider remote code execution a "security issue". What's to prevent token updates that let the company claim a product is supported while it's riddled with holes?

I could also see companies fighting teeth and nails against this if their devices share a common software base. But hey, you have your support incentive right there!

I was running huge warez dumps at the time Windows 95 was in development. I'd also just got my hands on a stolen $4000 0.5X CD writer [1]. I was selling dozens of copies of each development release of Windows 95 as it came out of Microsoft. Every single new minor build number people wanted an update, so I would sell them another CD-R. Blank CD-Rs at that time were £10 a pop and I was selling them for £20 a piece. Had to wake myself every two hours at night to switch CDs in the burner. Fun times.

If you're going to go into film photography then you should be building your own darkroom. That's not cheap. Not only for the equipment you need, but also for the dedicated space you need that also must be kept dust-free. Dust is the enemy of film photography. Hope you don't mind your fingers always smelling funky. Having grown up in a dark room and have been working in darkrooms since I was 4 years old, I don't look back on them with rose-tinted glasses.

I'll stick with today's digital darkroom. I've become a master at Gimp and I can do whatever I want with my photos. If I want a high-quality print then I can go around the corner to Walgreens and print what I want in whatever size I want. The difference now is I can focus on the photography, not so much the process and the equipment.
Screwing a cabinet together is actual work, you need to complete things at some expected pace at some expected quality (it's a low bar, but there's a bar).

At Walmart most of the time you can just fuck around and not do much work, if you get fired at Walmart you just go fuck around at an oil change shop until they fire you. I know men that have done this their whole lives.
> Of course, that won't help if large numbers of people aren't coming to vote because e.g. the lines are too long or they have to work and can't get to vote, but then you should fix these problems directly.

The issues are:

1. young people don't vote because they don't care, so it should help to make it easier for them.

2. once you're in the voting booth, it's too hard to remember who you decided to vote for when there's tens of choices and ballot props, like in California.

Mail-in voting also helps prevent the issue of local governments trying to sneak stuff past the voters by having offseason elections for it. Machine politics has died off in most places, but it's still strong in New York for instance. If everyone gets a mail ballot they'll notice.

When you say companies don't want to pay more, are you talking about the trucking company or the company that needs goods moved?

I'd imagine that a trucking company will pay almost as much as possible to a driver, because as long as there is a profit in the shipment, it makes sense to pay the driver to move it. If you book a piece of freight for $1000, would you not pay a driver $990 worse case, just to move it, because that's better in the long run than losing business?

It seems more likely that the people that need things moved think it's too high and decide to not move the items at all.

I appreciate you for coming to this form and soliciting input. There are a lot of smart people here and they're likely to have good opinions.

My own opinion, though, is that regulations like this should only be written when no reasonable alternative to them exists and as a last resort. And I think there is still plenty of room and time for industry to come up with its own certification programs, kind of like organic certifications in food. What actions have you taken or do you plan to take to encourage industry to take care of this without being forced to at the point of a gun?

It doesn't matter what the data is - your data is not very profitable and it's not why any particular company is in business. It does depend what the cost of compliance with all of that is.
When the Apple App Store first came out there was an app called “I am rich” that cost $1000.

I'm not sure how much of it is just not allowing my 2-year-old screen time (and not owning a television), but his 3 favorite activities are being read to, playing in the park, and playing with his wooden trains.

I wish it were as simple as making reading time quality bonding time. However, that doesn't seem sufficient. My two favorite activities these days are reading to him and giving him a bath, and yet he has a love/hate relationship with his bath. He acts like he hates the bath, until I announce to him that I'm going to take a bath without him. I think he really does hate his bath (and that it cuts into his train time), but puts up with it in order to spend time with me.

I do think it really helps that I give him time to examine the page and imagine before I turn the page. Also, sometimes he really wants to flip the page before I'm done reading, and I'm less happy with that, but let it happen.
> A good windowing system is a system where you don't need to move or resize windows.

That isn't necessarily true for everyone; the Lisa and Mac designers definitely did not feel that way.

> why Apple's OS didn't have a maximize button

Why would it? Early multitasking required being able to interact with multiple windows. It was always weird to me that Windows would have these giant windows preventing you from interacting with stuff in other windows. You bought an OS capable of running more than one app at once and you don't want to take advantage of it?
These are all great points and maybe a good reason why a voluntary program like this is the way to start, so a higher-tier of secure products can begin to emerge. We would also love to see the emergence of platforms that allow small teams to build on top of a secure, update-ready base. Some interesting discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37394546
This is quite a rosy take. The private sector is always interested in capturing new customers, and lobbying to shut down public services is a great way to do that. It's pretty simple, first you strip the service or institution of funding, do other things to degrade operations, then you complain that it’s a huge problem that only the private sector can fix. Exhibit A, USPS. Exhibit B, US public schools. Exhibit C, the US VHA. Exhibit D, the UK’s NHS and Ontario Canada’s provincial healthcare system.

as a westerner .. in the USA / California, ubiquitous facial recognition in public places is dystopian. Yet, a conservative Japanese colleague was recruited about six years ago, to fly to Houston and work for a client building facial recognition with DeepLearning. But, he was not told the name of the client. We had lunch in Berkeley and he bragged of the pay. I was literally angry, I said "this is not going to be allowed in the West" .. here we are.. His response? he took a cellphone photo of my face quickly without permission, and laughed at my ire. He laughed at me, and he made so much money in the last six years, managing an outsourced engineering team in India among other things, that he went from working-poor in the SF Bay Area to FIRE. That all occurred before Covid-19.

Idk if you've been to a Walmart or an oil change place.. but they get people to work pretty hard and efficiently for low wages. That's basically their secret sauce. My Walmart appears to be staffed by zombies, yet for the most part the store functions pretty well day in a day out, 365 days a year.

Sometimes. Occasionally specific skills just aren’t available. For example, there are many available construction laborers, but very few skilled carpenters.

My friend and his brother are electricians… they quote $600/hr for new customers and the response is “when can you start”. Often the timeframe isn’t acceptable, and they don’t overbook.

With trucking, it’s specific types of runs that you cannot fill. Nobody wants to take LTL loads to NYC at any price.
And guess what? The world is still spinning.

Every self-professed technologist or SV cheerleader valued this guy and his companies as some sort of last bastion of hope for a better future and the reason why we must tolerate his shananigans and straight up frauds.

Cooler heads have always identified Musk companies as dominant in the financial press publications and the tech press narrative publications and now the political press publications but of very little structural importance.

When JPMorgan, Microsoft, Amazon, Walmart, Bank of America, Exxon, Aramco fold...or lose 90% of their value, that would be the moment to stock up on food and ammo.

This article reminds me how FAANGs are great at coming up with all sorts of extra roles/job responsibilities simply so someone can pay themselves on the back in their end-of-year and/or promo write-ups.

It also feels filled with "assume a perfectly spherical cow of uniform density" oversimplification. While the roles are certainly different, so are people, teams and companies. Very often, optimizing for those strengths/weaknesses is more important than some universal rule about the appropriate breakdown of responsibilities between roles.
> There is some kind of issue that makes it so someone will work stocking a grocery store for $40k a year instead of screwing a cabinet together for $60k, with opportunities to make it up to $100k in the shop and up to $140k in the office as a project manager once you really know how things are built.

Yes, it is called an insufficient pay to quality of life at work ratio, which also incorporates volatility of income.

All the cases I hear require overtime, weekends, overnights, evenings, and unstable, seasonal employment. And probably not offer health insurance subsidies or 401k if less than 50 employees.
I have a friend who is a truck driver.

He went through the whole interview process, including a road test (which he easily passed, as he's very good), and found out they were only paying $30/hr.

After bitching about it, they went up to $35/hr, but the extra $5 was put into a 401(K).

Guess what the investment for the 401(K) was?

BTW: He walked.
It might ease of connecting workers to jobs. Walmart, wuick lube places, retailers all spend a lot of effort to make it known they're hiring and how to apply.
> and 800 million cubic feet of helium

I don't understand why you'd measure the amount of a gas in volume units (e.g. cubic feet) given that any gas is "elastic" in volume, i.e. can take pretty much any volume depending on the pressure.
It absolutely matters how often it happens. Otherwise we should start imprisoning everyone in the hopes of getting that one serial killer by the same principle. Some cures are worse than the disease.

What kind of board do you use instead?
It isn't a cynical opinion if that turns out to be what is cynically being done.
Elsewhere you wrote "Politicians back then (just like now) certainly often said things they didn't believe in when doing so was politically advantageous."

Why then should the South believe any statement made by Lincoln?

We know what the State of Georgia thought about the Republican Party: "The prohibition of slavery in the Territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races, disregard of all constitutional guarantees in its favor, were boldly proclaimed by its leaders and applauded by its followers ... We know their treachery; we know the shallow pretenses under which they daily disregard [the Constitution's] plainest obligations."

They were motivated because they didn't trust the treacherous Republican Party to maintain slavery.

This reminds me of Kierkegaard arguing with himself in various publications under pseudonyms. I think he must have had some intense cognitive dissonance about most things for most of his life. It makes for a great way to flesh out a topic from both a pro and con standpoint, but it can't have been easy to go back to "normal" thinking modes after doing so.

The correct analogy would be if someone documented all the ways to rob a house that is currently mass-produced and sold on the market. And yes, as a consumer I most certainly would approve of such activity, especially if I've yet to make a purchasing decision. Or especially if I'm already living in such a house, I need to know that it is not safe.
Weekly is good as a generic answer. The specifics of what you store and the value you place on them could warrant tweaks up or down. The time it takes to perform a full scrub could also be a factor.
Yeah, this is also wrong. If all you do is this, then if you have human empathy you'll be utterly miserable. You'll care about all the shit happening to other people, and the fact that you have managed to minimize the damage to yourself doesn't really change anything. Your options are to either eliminate your own sense of empathy, or advocate for broad change. Stoicism's great flaw is that it tells you to do the former.

Once again Razor 1911 shows up as an important part of the software archival ecosystem. Good people.
The problem here is that the thing I am probing is something I own: the device in my house that I ostensibly purchased and am allowed to smash with a hammer or put in a blender for all anyone should care; the context is that the DMCA is often used by companies to claim that DRM on the device is there to protect copyrights--whether music the device had access to, even if it isn't the reason many or even most people buy the device (such as a smart fridge with a speaker in it and the option to log in to Spotify), or the firmware software itself--and that it is thereby illegal for me to distribute tools to help people access to repair (which is the key thing here: there actually are already some legal protections for the act of "probing", but you kind of have to do it alone which is insane) a device I own and where finding vulnerabilities should be about me and my trade-offs, not the wishes of a manufacturer.
The difference is you cannot make it inaudible for people around you whereas you can with using software like this.
> There is an inherent risk of your vulnerabilities being broadcasted somewhere either on purpose or accidentally once that information is collected and organized by the researcher.

A legitimate researcher is going to promptly notify you of any vulnerabilities they discover and you as a large organization are going to promptly remediate them.

But the trouble isn't that the law might impose a $100 fine on a smug professor or curious adolescent to demonstrate that some audacious but mostly harmless behavior was over the line, it's that the existing rules are so broad and with such severe penalties that they deter people from saying anything when they see something that looks wrong.

Just because it's not our responsibility doesn't mean we can't vote with our wallets. I try not to give money to terrible companies but ya know what? I'd rather labor laws do that instead.

For example, I have type one diabetes. I'd love to not give Eli Lily another cent but I don't have that option. I know it's not the same as abusing workers, but abusing a captive market is also boycott worthy.
> The difference between a $200 and a $2000 bottle of wine is mostly how expensive the thing you are drinking is.

Yes, but the subset of people that can afford and would drink a $200 bottle of wine is hardly any bigger than the subset of people that can afford and would drink a $2000 bottle of wine.

It makes perfect sense to me why people would drink the $2000 bottle of wine. Why not? They've got the money.

If you balk at a $2000 bottle of wine, you're probably not casually drinking $200 bottles of wine either - and if you are - you're in a very small percentage of people where the price difference means something. It's maybe 2% of the population.

The other 97.75% isn't buying $200 bottles of wine. And the other 0.25% can buy $2000 bottles just fine.
They can copyright certain sequence of bits though, like console makers did a while ago to enforce licensing (e.g. can't boot this rom without these sequence of bits, but this sequence of bits is actually a nintendo logo which cannot be distributed unless you have nintendo's permission).
