...isn't using the word "bitches" widely considered a dog whistle for hating all women?

Seems like you're agreeing with me.
Maybe in some businesses. I suspect those business do less well than the ones that fire people like you instead.
However, tampering with mail, or opening someone else's, is a federal crime with harsh penalties attached.

It's a very good store of value/gold analog and a not so great currency.

That's fine though - if you have something that holds value you can move it into whatever currency exists when you need to do that.
There's a public radio podcast about how Republicans, particularly former Governor Scott Walker, killed high-speed rail in Wisconsin. Here's a summary, from former Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz: https://isthmus.com/opinion/citizen-dave/wpr-derailed-podcas...

Yes, that's the same Scott Walker of Foxconn infamy: https://www.theverge.com/c/21507966/foxconn-empty-factories-...
Agree that divorce in extended families can be worse. I was making the (additional) claim that matrilocality & children being raised by woman's family can make families more stable (i.e divorce resistant).
Hence, my question about reducing the cost of maglevs. China is pursuing low-speed maglevs that run about 100 mph and are much cheaper.

I feel like I'm missing basic context. Are these Russian men supposed to be enlisted, or are they ineligible?

Is it unusual they targeted a mosque, or is this just one of hundreds of places press gangs have targeted?

My deepest sympathies to any Russians trying to avoid the war on Ukraine, though.
Americans do take trains when they’re affordable and convenient. The NE corridor in Amtrak is heavily used even with all its problems.

You don’t have to come up with some crazy new innovation for Mag-Lev, just make the trains reliable, affordable, and near major population centers.
> the rest of the web is better off with flash gone and nothing new to fill that role.

What has filled the role of flash for commercial websites is native iOS and android apps, which still somehow end up being way larger than a flash payload and also drain battery faster.

The truly magical bit of flash though was the small scale culture of making tiny little once-off things to share for the love of it, for free. Hacker culture, if you will.

In the flash days, you could make a little toy for fun as a 10 year old kid without a credit card, post it on newgrounds for free to let others see it, brag to your friends, and feel good. Now, you need to buy a macbook ($1000) and apple dev account ($100/yr) to be able to share your dumb joke with your friends at school.

No wonder young kids instead use the even more closed roblox platform to make dumb jokes rather than building iOS apps.
But the puritans would also recognize the value of rest, along with the folly of overworking for riches.

If they voted for him, otherwise they sure do blame.
Marriage is a formal process that provides a standard framework in which two families get to know one another.

The problem with American relationships is that it deals with two people.

A marriage is the full joining of two full families. By marrying my wife, I made my uncle related to my wife's uncle, so they better kind of get along. Indeed I have a vested interest in them getting along because it benefits my children.

A wedding provides a formal and socially acceptable way for these sorts of interactions to occur. If I just moved in with my wife... What are the chances her distant cousins would meet mine? Zero, I imagine. A wedding brings them together and benefits everyone.

But most Americans don't really have extended families so I see why weddings seem strange.
Have you tried working with recruiters? In my experience applying directly might as well be sending your resume directly into a black hole. If you turn on the “looking for work” setting on linked in you’ll probably get plenty of opportunities to interview. I was interviewing in the spring and I had a few interviews lined up within a week this way.
Right, I agree with your speculation, but I was hoping there was a real answer and not speculation.
I heard a podcast episode recently (the name escapes me) which suggested that US emergency trauma centres are getting so good at preventing people from dying of gunshot wounds that they are skewing the stats relating to homicide. The thesis being that, although the incidence of gun violence was increasing, the absolute number of people dying of gunshot wounds was decreasing.
Short sentences that put thieves back in a neighborhood can cause the same thing. Anecdotally some Kenyan neighborhoods get tired if this and entrap thieves with goods left out, then the neighbors beat them, and apparently on occasion burn them to death with gasoline.
Pretty much everywhere in Seattle is middle and upper class today, so yea - crime is a lot more real to many people when it’s near them.

Along the same vein, “What has become of western cities” is “rich and expensive”. And if by conservative you mean “want less government regulation against building homes” then I think you’re right.

I love this kind of thing. In Asuncion, there are whole food parks dedicated to this kind of thing, and many parking garages have the top level converted to clubs on Friday and Saturday, usually with a smattering of food carts.

Also, abandoned buildings where the roof is partially or fully collapsed are popular spots for bars.

Here's a parking garage club.

That this is not a required part of the spec and that it's possible for a website to go through certification and get an official endorsement of support without supporting multiple keys per-account is a complete failure of the FIDO Alliance.

One of the big issues with how passkeys are being developed is the painful naivety of the FIDO Alliance about actually standardizing good behavior.

Every response is, "but why would providers do X bad thing?" If we're expecting every provider to allow multiple keys, then require it in the spec. Otherwise, if it's important that the spec not mandate that, then don't tell me that every provider is going to allow multiple keys, because apparently there's use-case for only allowing a single key and we're expecting the spec to need to accommodate that behavior.

----

> I have my phone (Android), my laptop (Windows Hello) andnmy primary and backup Yubikeys enrolled. I'm not restricted to a specific platform.

That people are seriously suggesting this as a solution to cross-ecosystem recovery and backup makes me skeptical of the potential of passkeys to ever be simpler or more straightforward than passwords are. Normal users can't be taught not to reuse passwords, they can't be taught to do 2FA, and you think they're going to proactively enroll multiple keys in every website they sign up to?

That's not going to happen; what will happen is they're going to lose their Android phone and they won't be able to do cross-device authentication without it, and they won't have proactively done cross-device authentication on their Windows machine, and the only way to get access to those keys will be to buy another Android phone. "Register multiple devices ahead of time" is only a solution if you expect passkey usage to be restricted to niche technical groups.
My company makes us use slack - started during lockdown - as an electron app. I don't know it's history or its user culture, but for me it has been a wretched experience all around and I wish we'd have just stuck with email, or jabber or whatever. Slack has a faux corporate friendliness that makes me feel like I'm in some corporate "we're having fun and a potentially pizza" dental appointment with a therac-25 rigged to make X-rays on flayed kittens. I don't ever want my software to say "oops" and I certainly don't want my business software to offer more ways to "engage" with irrelevant content.
I guess it depends on how you are defining "costs" in the question. Costs due to regulatory/legal requirements are a huge part of why these projects are expensive in addition to actual track, trainsets, civil engineering, etc that go in to these projects.
Stuff has gotten a lot more robust, except for specialized things such as laser diodes. Also, once an IC is soldered onto a circuit board, it's not invincible, but less prone to damage because the capacitance on the board limits the voltage spike.

The only time I ever damaged IC's was when I had my office chair on one of those plastic mats that lets you roll your chair around on a carpeted floor. That was a static electricity generator.

If you're regularly getting static zaps during dry winter weather, on things like doorknobs, it's a sign that you need to be more careful with your electronics.
Right but I think they know it themselves, so they cannot be sure whether people really like them for other things besides money. The point I was trying to make was that people want to get rich really because they want to be truly liked and appreciated by others.

Whether we suck up to a billionaire or try to perhaps con them somehow WE know that we don't "like" them very much.

But really I don't know any billionaires, I've only seen them on TV, so I may be wrong.
That understates travel time though. e.g. Tokyo to Osaka is about 250 miles and takes about 2.5 hours via Shinkansen. So it's more like 100 mph on average with stops. And, unless it's a lot cheaper, no one is taking a 20+ hour train trip instead of a 6 hour flight unless it's for the scenery, etc. I allow about 90 minutes at the typical airport for the 15 minutes through security and the buffer.

Maybe new train tech can deliver higher speeds but, as part one of the article noted, you can't just eliminate stops and they can slow down the average speed a lot.
Really slow, more than anything. My own perspective is as a senior technical product manager, mainly dev tools experience, some entrepreneurship, plus coding. I'm only looking for all-remote roles. I've always been a little bit of a unique combo of skills, but for companies that need someone like me, I'm perfect. Now I'm finding there aren't too many jobs posted, that response rates are low, and then hire rates are low at the end of the interview process.

I think that the low hire rate comes down to more competition, plus some larger companies maybe have zombie hiring processes where the effort to hire someone continues, but if they find someone the funding disappears.

I've been trying to supplement with consulting, but I don't have any experience selling myself in that way so progress has been slow. In the meantime I am looking ay it as a good investment to get some experience on that front.

Flash didn't die because it was bad.

The reason why Flash became so popular is that while the development tools cost money, the player was free for anyone to install. Browsers eventually started installing Flash by default (mostly so they could solve some of the security issues with prompt updates). By 2005, Adobe had a major monopoly on dynamic web content.

And then smartphones and tablets became a thing. Adobe didn't want to keep giving flash away for free, they wanted to exploit their monopoly for profit, by charging phone manufactures 25 cents per device for the right to include the flash runtime on their phones. Many Symbian, Windows CE, and later Android phones were paying this licensing fee to Adobe.

I suspect this royalty fee is large part of the reason why Job's "Thought's on Flash" letter came about. The letter mostly talks about need for open standards, and it is right. But I think Adobe's insistence on royalty fees really rubbed Apple the wrong way. Maybe if Adobe wasn't trying to extort smartphone vendors for royalty fees, it would have survived, and Adobe could still be charging money for the flash creative tool today.

Hell, if Adobe weren't trying to profit of the runtime, they wouldn't have had any objection to making the runtime an open standard and allowing anyone (including apple) create their own flash runtime implementations.

Flash didn't die because it was bad. Flash died because Adobe tried to exploit their monopoly for profit, and the wider industry responded to the threat.
A bad manager can blight quite a few people's lives. I fantasise about there being an internship/registrar/apprenticeship system for managers.

An accreditation system with professional on-the-job evaluation on a regular basis would be ideal, but too hard to do in reality, I guess. I sure would like to work for a properly accredited professional manager, though.
I'm in the same boat with you. I want a truck or SUV to replace my 2003 LX470 (Land Cruiser) but aside from the body on frame construction, I really need a 500 mile battery. The 320 mile EPA extended range lightning loses about 64 miles of range from the recommended battery boundaries (don't charge above 90% or below 10%) and probably at least another 10%-20% loss from the high torque required offroading and the fact you'd probably never use regenerative braking since there's a lot more technique involved leaves you with about 200 miles of actual range. Throw on a roof top tent and some camping gear in the back and you probably have less and you have to account for the lack of jerry cans that can help you in a pinch if your planned mileage is increased from a bridge that's out or closed trail. I really want an electric SUV or truck to replace my main rig but some of the locations I go to are just too dangerous to run out of juice with. I think in about 5 years a dream rig of mine will be on the horizon

Discussions about Flash emulation always delve to Flash games, but beyond that, I think one of the big benefits is several informational websites that still rely on flash that haven't been able to catch up. The New York Historical Society exhibit Slavery in New York has a page called [The Merchant's House](https://www.slaveryinnewyork.org/gallery_3_1.htm) where they go through items and explain how "Everything was touched by slavery." The online version of the exhibit has a lot of information bits that rely on flash, but that one was personally my favorite. One of the benefits of a project like Ruffle is that we can maintain these works–now that the exhibit is gone, it's the only way to view this written work, and reap the benefits of the extensive historical research done.

The only thing I've seen it fail with is the [video galleries]https://www.slaveryinnewyork.org/gallery_2_responses.htm) on the same exhibit site. They're supposed to be video clips that people took in dedicated booths after going through the exhibit. I've read about the exhibit extensively and it seems like these videos were a really good insight into the way the New York public viewed slavery at the time: "They have the awkwardness of amateur home videos: background noise, long silences, people looking away from the camera." (taken from The Anger and Shock of a City's Slave Past, New York Times) It's supposed to be a subset of some 400 videos, but I can't get Ruffle to work on these pages specifically. I've had a couple flashes of audio come out of the tab while trying to view one, so I know that something is going on, but I've never been able to watch any of the videos. Does anyone with more knowledge than me know what's going on here? I'd hate to see all that disappear.
> Consider San Francisco to Los Angeles, for example. That’s about 9 million people a year who fly? It’s only 400 miles.

California has already done a lot of the engineering analysis for this one. They need to build like a hundered tunnels through mountain ranges, seismic rifts, and mansion districts. It's great planning businesses for the consultants, but it is way too expensive to ever be constructed. Much cheaper to fly over all of that, rather than go under it.
Lot of (IMO) useless hot air comments saying this or that in here...

You can do your fancy build process, single binary, whatever. The bottom line is if you want to call yourself a (good/strong/solid) web developer, your site needs to be accessible across all form factors.

I'm on mobile so I can't check, but I would bet this thing doesn't get even close to a good score on a tool like Lighthouse. Then the fact that some people are applauding OP and turning around making fun of "modern" software development (whatever that means) don't even realize they're part of perpetuating that problem (applauding sites which are missing key peices of accessibility and functionality)

This isn't really opinion or up for discussion either, this is quite literally the benchmark of living in our reality. We have accesibility guidelines and standards built over the years by hundreds of dedicated folks who worked hard to make those standards and guidelines clear - SO USE THEM! (meaning HTML5/CSS3/WCAG) Software is for humans, to be used by humans. Sure, I get the aspect that there is a bit of artistic freedom which OP has taken and by no means has to follow any guidelines at all. But this is definitively NOT a high standard or normal in any sense of what decent modern web development is.
> Its even worse than dot bomb (2000-2004)

I don't know about that, companies were imploding left and right overnight. Stocks losing 99% of "value" etc.

With that said, this is the worse I've seen since that time, but really can't say it's worse than dot com meltdown.

Surprised to see this here, but pleasantly so!

Street food in Japan and Fukuoka in particular is one of my favorite reasons to visit. Seemingly ever foodstuffs location (whether that be a yatai, a ramen shop with a kiosk, or a small hole in the wall dart bar) has a different feel to it, and many have "regulars" that frequent the location often are are willing to chat up a newcomer.

Would heavily encourage any tourist to the country to take a moment and don't do any research, just pick your next meal from something that's close by.
SD <-> LA is also a lovely ride. Makes it feel like you're in one big city. Takes more than 2 hours, but it's city center to city center, and trains are so much more comfortable than any alternative.
My favorite head slapping dumb part about Microsoft’s Silica is the goofy little robots that are the only means to find unlabeled, unadorned identical glass slabs. No human readable filing system, no cartridge to protect the 7TB slab from falling and breaking. Just a goofy awkward robot that will certainly be robust for, what was the number, 10,000 years?
Not sure if this is a "gotcha", but there are many EVs available for less than $50k. Chevy Bolt can be had under $30k for the base model.
> Seems like a lot of unicorn hunting out there, right now.

Agreed, and I feel this is happening across job families - JDs seem much more domain-specific, especially around ML/AI. I don’t remember it being like this. Yes, there is absolutely a distinction between someone working Eng in payments vs infra vs ML, but I remember those being nice-to-haves, not requisites.
> but WASM has none of the web APIs so you need to lean on JS to do UI or local storage, etc.

Yeah, haha I am eagerly waiting on these additions. I'm following the spec quite closely and would love it if one day an index.wasm could replace index.html as a web application entry point.

> I find WebAssembly a fairly odd duck though and highly disappointing.

100% agree. It was introduced about 8 years ago and we still can't use it to make a div appear (without heavy JS thunking). The consortium is discussing how to use web assembly in serverless functions and to replace docker - meanwhile in the web world, it's essentially a faster Web Worker.

But hey, I'm still hopeful

Well mistakes happen. One thing that is still not explained is that I contacted Hackerone many times in the timespan of 3 years but they couldn't get in contact with you either.

Also, it is still unclear how you wanna continue with the report since it is no longer reproducible. I would have discussed it further on Hackerone but apparently I have been ghosted again after the apologize message.
Thank you for finding it. Yes, this is the discussion that I saw at the time.
Show HN: Pypipe – A Python command-line tool for pipeline processing
pypipe is a command-line tool for writing data pipelines in Python. When working with data processing in the terminal, I often find myself wanting to pass the output of commands to Python for further processing. In such cases, one can either write one-liners or create regular Python scripts and connect them through pipes. However, using pypipe makes this process more convenient and efficient.
