Could you provide more info on this? I haven’t heard of this before. I don’t doubt it’s true, I’d just like to see more about it.

Regarding Ehrlichman specifically, his Wikipedia page says he fought for the US during WWII, and his father died serving in the Canadian military in 1940 (when Canada was fighting, but the US was not).

So it seems pretty low to call him a Nazi.
I think reading this and other comments slid something in place for me about “Living Systems”.
What are you talking about? Ehrlichman was born in the US in 1925.

Poland has caught up is all.
This is not a sleeper when driven in Australia, that’s for sure.
Tens of thousands.

Their catalog looks like a good source for period movie props.
The criticism of private prisons (or the prison industrial complex) in general is more than just referring to privately owned and run prisons, its referring to prisons, jails, detention facilities, psychiatric hospitals, private security and guards, transportation and logistics, health care services, surveillance and other technology providers, food/commissary/library services, communication/phone services, cash bail creditors, etc. etc. all run for-profit.

The other issue is more in general about having incarceration rates that are "four to six times that of its high-income peers in Europe and Asia". So you might recognize that as an issue too and think perhaps its the privatized prison system, the root causes for crime like inequality, disenfranchisement, homelessness, the reasons for drug use in the first place, or even just perhaps switching to an evidence-based rehabilitation system.

But now imagine you are a liberal, you need a way to acknowledge and talk about these problems without ever actually having to change anything. So that's why liberal journalists are talking about non-violent drug offenders and the 8.41% private prison population and so Biden stopped the justice department from renewing contracts for federal private prisons and he pardoned all prisoners of federal non-violent marijuana possession charges. Of course it doesn't actually do anything, but that was the point. And that's what liberalism is.
On the Internet?
I mean that's fair, not being able to see your finished work is a bummer. Like creating a video game only for the publisher to cancel it right before finishing it.
Wayland not working with NVIDIA is a massive deal-breaker.

I've used Linux desktops on and off for the past 20 years, and it's incredibly frustrating how everything is perpetually in a state of semi-brokenness as they move on to the Next Thing. I still think about the early years of KDE4, which were a horrible regression from the stable and usable KDE3.
I open the capsules and mix them. I've tried to get the company to sell me a bag or can of the probiotics but they won't do it. Not a big deal though, it doesn't take long to open them. I just use the large containers of coconut MCT oil. If there is something that would be better for the bacteria and for the large intestine cells I would love to know.

Funny that all of my well-paid IT buddies use Android.
Ehrlichman was born in the US though, so I'm not sure where you take the Nazi part from?
He was not born a drug wholesaler. He made that choice…twice! Rehabilitation is not the sole or even primary goal of incarceration. Nor should it be. But I do agree. People who’ve done their time shouldn’t have to wear a permanent scarlet letter. I just have little sympathy for repeat offenders of very serious felonies. This guy wasn’t a small time street dealer. He is probably partly responsible for many fentanyl overdose deaths.
So as long as you don’t care about the US market, you as a business can ignore software patents…
Nobody needs the appstore for discovery and security, security is done by the OS and the discovery is done by external channels, the store discovery is close to worthless anyways.
That's genuinely horrifying, and I don't find many opinions horrifying.

Are you being serious or trolling? If serious, I hope people don't kill your comment because this is one I think should be discussed.
Tens of thousands is slightly more newsworthy :)

(Current HN headline is “Wisconsin couple has tens of old phones – and nobody to buy them”.)
Yes I know, the situations I described would apply if you used libraries with the same version 10 years from now.

In the case of the "internal dependency" one, plenty of people regularly patch stuff in NPM and keep the same version number.
I saw that title and thought wow, we're really scraping the bottom for content here if TENS of phones makes news.
I'd agree that tech folks in an org can communicate very well and precisely -- among themselves. But there's a gaping chasm in communication between the technical and non-technical people.

It comes from a difference in motivation, in what the different "tribes" believe to be important. Bridging this gap is more about translation and seeing the others' perspective than anything else. This is the reason project managers exist, and why their existence is mostly miserable.

We need to acknowledge that every layer of this cake thinks they're the most important, but in a de-facto dictatorship fuelled by customer spending, the lines of power are closely aligned with the flow of money.

Tech decisions are approximately irrelevant to the people closer to the money stream, and they're primarily evaluated in terms of potential profits and actual costs. In other words, tech only becomes important when it facilitates more profits or incurs unexpected expenses.
If O(n^2) was the best, then how did Google calculate 100 trillion digits (10^14) of pi [1]? That would require a constant times 10^28 operations. Let's say the constant is 1, and all operations are the cheapest operations and you use an A100 GPU. That A100 GPU can do about 10^15 operations per second of Int8 type. You'd need 10^13 seconds of GPU time, which you could get with, say, 10000 GPUs in 1 billion seconds (30 years). I don't think Google did that.

ChatGPT: The Reasoning Computer
This is really useful. This announcement is from 2020, but still not well known for some reason
Depends on state law, they may be able to get a judgement against you for costs incurred above the foreclosure value, and it may depend on the type of foreclosure procedure if judicial and non-judicial are available; similar to how in some states a mortgage lender can get a judgement for the load balance and costs above the foreclosure auction value.

I'm guessing a timeshare foreclosure shows up on credit reports, and in the period between when they figure out you're not likely to pay and when they file for foreclosure, that you're past due on those payments will likely also show up, and I'm sure they'll try to convince you to pay.

Ask HN: What framework/tools to use to build front end in 2023?
We are planning a migration of our legacy system, what do you recommend to build an enterprise front end?
Statistically less well educated might be relevant, income? Not so much. Unless you want to imply here that there's a link between lower income and lower technical expertise in using phone operating systems.

I would imagine that simply the fact that you're on Android brings a bit more technical challenges to the table, which users will deal with. Anyone that has used both operating systems has experienced this. Apple tends to simplify and hide a lot of complexity on a lot of things for their users which limits what you can do but increases the ease of use in a lot of basic things.

So I would say people who use Android are probably more used to overcoming these sort of hurdles than iPhone users might be. To an iPhone user, you might have to teach, to an Android user it's more of a reminder as they've probably already encountered something similar before.
Apologies. I read a news article about him being charged with carfentanil possession and assumed the conviction referred to that. Apparently the carfentanil was found in his apartment and he was later caught with the other synthetic opioid.
Anecdotally, I noticed it at the start of 2020, which coincided with the flash bang mass adoption of day trading apps, which has thankfully faded.
Really enjoy using it VS code plugin is pretty good.
I haven't been there since May, so I heard that the chip shortage is affecting new IC cards, although your sentence seems to indicate that's a permanent change?

Anyways there are still plenty of people with IC cards even if they stopped issuing new ones. Most people have probably had theirs for years.
I would rather to have mean, direct feedbacks than sugar coating it, and not just in HN but even IRL, things is, it’s kind of known here but when I provide the same level of honesty at work, mostly taken as an attack because of the fake positivity and ultra sensitivity in nowadays work environments.
Thanks for this. As a new user of Ubuntu I stumbled into the meta-T shortcut but couldn't find out how to take advantage of it. Shift-T is what I was missing. I didn't have the terminology I needed to search effectively either.
That's ok, there's also a closed down meth lab for sale in San Jose for the low price of $1,550,000. And the price has gone UP recently too.

Our real estate market here is completely out of control despite interest rates. It's awful.
It's great if you work at Netflix. Not all of los Gatos is tucked in the mountains either. It's a reasonable commute to the valley and San Jose. But SF is problematic
Let's suppose you have a 20-hour a week job that pays you $200/hour.

What are the odds that job allows you to work an extra hour any time you feel like it? In the other direction, if you drop a few hours a week when you feel like it -- how long do you remain employed? Not too long, unless you're actually being underpaid for a specialist position.

Let's suppose that you have a salary of $200K/year, and the boss generally expects you to be working on the company's problems 40 hours a week, with the occasional flex time when you or they need it. Do they pay you more on weeks when you work 42 hours? Less on weeks of 38 hours? No.

(At lower salaries, overtime is real -- but a corporation is quite likely to fire you if you make a habit of taking or dropping hours without advance permission.)

Almost nobody is in a position where they can directly and accurately value an arbitrary hour as income or loss of income.
Thanks for this feedback! I will remove it or place it in the contact page. You're right that was sort of a dumb move on my part.
Humans will not tolerate the condition I describe. Inequality can only get so bad before it becomes intolerable. Learn to do something with your hands, it may well be valued in our lifetime -- and if the future is brighter than my dour prediction, the hobby will have been a salve which still has its own value.

Have you seen Crul??

I love the JS flow, but I thought crul was an interesting newer tool!!

But I agree, you gotta get in there and it’s easier with JS
And that's exactly the mindset set Google preys upon...short term vision, greed and convenience. Yes, agreed, most people don't know and don't care. However, we're not talking about most people. We're talking about people who due to their profession actually know better. Yet, they put themselves, their families, their friends, their customers, etc. in harm's way? Google is laughing...all the way to the bank.

I would suggest reading "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism."
It certainly has value. It just does not generally have literal monetary value that relates to, for example, what your company pays you.

Some tasks may mean you can forego equipment purchases/maintenance but you're probably not literally saving money by having someone do something for you. Which is fine! It's perfectly OK to say I don't like doing yard work and can afford to pay someone to do it for me. You're probably both happier as a result.
Why timeshares are a scam? I'm absolutely ignorant on the topic, just curious
Completely misses the issue that the parents participated, advised, and profited from the whoLe thing. we care because its not a tradegy of seeing you kid become a criminal, but by shaping him as one since birth thinking they were doing right.
Apropos of nothing, that jobs site is technically-challenged. Recidiviz has 2 jobs posted, but looking at the filters, there are apparently 3 available in NYC or SF (and no "remote" filter, despite the fact that both jobs are listed as remote, NYC, or SF).
How is that different from recording a TV show with your VCR (and fast-forwarding over the ads), which is completely legal?
Great episode, but no, not completely accurate, unless a) every exit you take leads to another sales pitch, b) they illegally detain you, and c) local police refuse to do anything about that because they work for the timeshare people.

Btw for those who are interested, the episode is Asspen (s6e2):

Oh, I just noticed some bugs in the code while using Motes the other day. Expect some weirdness with the Emacs plugin. The scripts have been working flawlessly for me the past few weeks though. I hope you like them :D
In case anyone is curious*, you need the Tor browser to download it from the LockBit onion site [1]. It's a dump from a malware distributor though, so downloader beware.

From the file names it doesn't look like anything particularly interesting though.

I enabled wayland recently and there’s been a lot of annoyances to the point that I wonder why I bother considering X11 works without these issues. For example:

* Chrome needs a bunch of extra flags to launch in Wayland mode

* Firefox needs extra flags to launch in Wayland mode

* Xwayland is just broken on Nvidia with both sides refusing to compromise (implicit vs explicit synchronization - Nvidia refuses to add implicit and Xwayland refuses to take Nvidia’s patch to do explicit). What this means is that you get tearing, flickering and all sorts of terrible graphical artifacts

* Chrome only just fixed HW acceleration for Nvidia (latest m120 beta)

* enabling vulkan causes Chrome to fail to render (although this may just me needing to try reinstalling Nvidia drivers)

* I thought it was an acceleration thing, but even with HW acceleration fixed Chrome has a bug where the mouse pointer leaves behind white speckling when mousing over on a dark background. VSCode doesn’t have this issue.

None of these issues appear in X and this is from someone who thought Wayland is the right way to go (eg you didn’t see this kind of story on Mac when they switched to HW accelerated compositing).
$32M for the property but do t forget the extra $7M in Lysol that will be required
... besides the change towards hooks and the react dev team which does not seem to be clear about how to best use them.

The new beta docs just recently changed again removing old best practices concerning dependency arrays in useEffect hooks in favor of a new potential hook called useEffectEvent (which is still experimental).

I love to work with react.
However, it takes _a lot of time_ onboarding new engineers for tasks which are a bit more complicated in nature. Also, using hooks the wrong way can really mess up your product big times.

It would be nice to see react moving in a direction which is by design/architecture less error-prone.
This hasn't been my experience lately. Are you perhaps comparing VS 2022 with Resharpen against Rider? Stock VS 2022 is quite a bit faster than Rider for me. And for the missing refactorings there is Roslynator.
They have a collection of LSRA pictures too:

I'm sure that there exists a real reason, but I choose to believe that it's because NASA is made of engineers, and engineers are by nature not practical people. They want to design a solution, not find a solution.

If they'd asked the technicians then they would've landed on Steve with his target rifle, or just a plate with a few spikes in it to drive the wheel over. Y'know, simple, straightforward, and absolutely no drawings required.
Digital wallet versions of those cards still work fine, though. I visited Japan a month ago and found that on iPhones or Apple Watches you don’t even need a special app — the stock Wallet app can generate new virtual Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA cards on demand.
For backup, I recommend Spytify. Just in case...

Ok. If there are thousands, can you give three examples of companies that are designed to profit off of incarcerated individuals rather than rehabilitate them?
I mean with a six-figure income instead of 41k like the video has it becomes pretty sustainable to pay $9200/yr in property taxes.

I also bet a lot of people in suburbs of Bay Area / NYC wish they only payed $9200/yr.
Anybody who thinks they can benefit from this should definitely check out the "knees over toes" guy on YouTube [1]. Walking backward is one of the first and most basic exercises he recommends in building up what he calls "bulletproof knees".

I'm about 30 and have noticed a significant increase in my overall athleticism since starting to regularly follow his recommendations, and I was fairly athletic to begin with. My parents are in their late 60s and both were having regular knee pain that they say has almost completely vanished after a few months of some of the more basic exercises as well.

I am, because I like some Chrome plugins but I choose to avoid actual Google products whenever I can. I'm also on a Mac, and Microsoft (from what I've seen) hasn't been overly pushy with it.
Even with same lock file, modules that depend on native compilations will have problem with changing c compilers, libraries etc. Some libraries are fixed to minor version of node or node-gyp, so they won't compile with newer node. I had run into these issues both in both python and nodejs.

OpenAI has changed education.

I'm a teacher who is constantly learning new things. I can learn things I would have never been able to learn before because of AIs like ChatGPT. My students are learning more and faster than ever before.

Learning Management Systems like Canvas and Blackboard made a lot of money. I could argue they are obsolete now.
I use it quite often. I am bilingual and I have tried it with very old Chinese songs - it works.
It's unfair to say it "makes" them that way. They were incarcerated because they already proved willing to commit a crime. It failed to change them back into an average citizen, sure. Understandably a very difficult problem. It's quite possible that it makes them worse instead of better but we'd need different evidence to show that.
Whats your benefit from this? Do you credit it with any GI improvements?
As someone actively working in this space, I can tell you they are. Maine is following the so-called Scandinavian Model. It essentially comes down to giving incarcerated people a chance to practice normal daily activities and social interactions. The facilities feel more like highly secure dorms than jails. The way a head of a different DoC said still sticks with me:

We send people away for years, tell them exactly what to do every day and they get to make exacrly one choice every day: do you obey or not? That's the only choice you get to make. Then, after 3, 5, 10 years, we send them out into society and tell them, "Make better choices." But we haven't prepared them for that at all. We have given them almost no chances to make decisions and learn how to make good ones. We just tell them the decision to make and they do it. There's no space for practicing good decisions in traditional prison settings.

Multiple other states are pointing to Maine as proof that the Scandinavian model can work in the US and are incorporating their learnings into their plans and trainings.
I guess I read this blog post very differently from many other commenters. I don't see this as being entitled or avoiding responsibility for his actions. He's just telling his story. He knows he fucked up. But he also knows the system is fucked.

If you can't possibly understand how growing up without positive influences can lead someone to a life of crime, you're probably too privileged to be the target audience of this article. Just move on.
I gotta say, as dumb as this sounds, there is almost nothing more satisfying than having an unidentified song stuck in your head and then after hours/days/years figuring out what it is.

Vivid memory from when I was in middle school (before internet search was common) having a song tune stuck in my head for years that I couldn’t identify. Finally years later I heard it on the radio randomly and it was like scratching the best itch of all time.

For those wondering it was Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside a Broken Telephone Booth With Money in My Hand. I don’t even love the song that much but to figure out what it was… whew, few feelings like it.
People have been whining about "political correctness" for decades. Comedy's still alive.
You're both right. There's always some mixing of the two.

Culturally northern corporations tend towards the West Point Peter Drucker management by objectives schools of thought.

Whereas the culturally southern plantation class is as you describe. Walmart is always my go to example.

This also roughly tracks geographically with strength of Labor. To no one's suprise, the neoliberal (confederate) generations long assault on Labor means the southern style has been waxing. Hopefully, with the youngs' (Gen Y & Z) new found enthuasism for Labor -- in the form of life, liberty, and pursuit of justice -- the slave owners grip on our society will begin to wane.
I used this pro-tip today and it worked great. Thanks for the idea.
