"the new salary threshold for work permit eligibility is now set at 28,480 kronor per month, which represents 80% of the median salary. This is an increase from the previous threshold of 27,360"

The current increase is 4%. The 120% comes from comparing against last year's numbers.
Even if it wasn't like that, it's pretty normal for people to settle in and dictate cultural norms. (Legal and not ostracized) immigrants don't feel like immigrants after a few generations. Their children are now native, treated as native and the original immigrant reality fades away.

For example, my family immigrated to South America from Italy 3 generations ago. I don't say I'm Italian and don't feel like an immigrant.

My point is that there has to be an extra force that keeps reminding them "this place is what it is and it was built by immigrants and we value that". If that exists or not in the US, I can't comment from the outside but without that core value being shared, people won't naturally think "oh, immigrants == good" (especially when illegal immigrants are being called refugees in some cases).

In high school, a friend complained that his mother only watched the sort of movie "with two people who love each other passionately but can't marry because they have the wrong colour dots".

Unfortunately for my movie-going, soon after I realised that Hollywood follows nearly the same formula, only the star-crossed (yet happy-ended) characters' dots are not on their foreheads, but left implicit.

[tbf, Bound (1996) did feature an unusual-for-the-time pair of incompatible dots. Try separating artist from art in that one!]
An alternative might be silicone coatings. Parchment paper used in cooking uses this. I worry about the impact of that on food cooked against the paper. Silicones can be biodegradable though -- one of the problems with exploiting methane-rich gas from decomposition in landfills is that it includes silicon-containing volatile compounds from decomposition of silicones. If you burn this in a combustion turbine the combustors and turbine blades get coated with glass.

The Delta Debugging algorithm is an underused tool, which is not only applicable to debugging, but any task where you need to find a minimal satisfying subset. For example, it can also be used to automatically find an (approximately) minimal set of cloud permissions needed for some purpose: https://github.com/KanoComputing/aws-tools/blob/master/bin/a...
This is otherwise quite a tedious exercise.

(It's approximate because theoretically you can find a local minimum - but for permissions, there's probably only one minimum)
I appreciate your and other commenters suggestions, but I've been down all these roads. I spent a whole summer slowly "working my way up," 5 mins a day the first week, 6 mins a day the 2nd week, 7 the 3rd, etc. It doesn't matter. As soon as I hit 12 minutes once, I turn bright red. I can do 11 for as many days as I care to and my skin looks like I've not been outside in months. I know it's not just subtly changing either, because I don't end up with tan lines even though I always wear the same basic swimwear.

I've also tried dminder, low SPF, all kinds of things. As far as I know, there isn't anything congenitally "wrong" with me or anything, but I wouldn't know what to look for to rule it out.

I even had someone tell me the GAPS diet would fix it, but I did that for two (very boring) years, and it didn't help either.

It could be that it's just hopeless, but it's bizarre to me that I should end up so evolutionarily unfit for my home planet.
Worldwide ocean plastic kills vast quantities of marine life. It's an enormous problem that affects entire ecosystems. Malaria is a complete red herring.

Sorry to break it to you but you’re not the only person on HN who has heard of malaria or rotting swamps or uranium deposits.

As a side note, it’s telling that the only scoreboard you seem capable of using is which forces have killed more humans. I wonder if there are any other lenses through which one can understand the world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rest in peace Allan.

As much as his action were admirable, the most shocking thing about that story was how the politicians rallied to protect him after his demotion, forcing his company to keep and actually promote him.

For the Indians who are taking this route they are not.

My family is from one of those villages where immigration (documented and undocumented) to the West has been common since the 1970s.

The ones who are truly desperate (the rural poor and working class) cannot afford to immigrate illegally to the West so they end up immigrating to the Gulf, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or South Korea to work as unskilled laborers.

The only people who take these routes in Northwest India are those who area weird mix of landed (so rich as they have a high value asset that can be mortgaged) and ignorant. Oftentimes a healthy dose of "stunting" as well, because even if the guy immigrated abroad illegally, they can at least get a wedding offer now whereas before they were a NEET.

That video is about privacy and csam scanning with a very brief reference at the end to the possibility that Adobe might be using customer photos to train the csam scanner.

I can see how that checks the box of "policing", but you also made this claim:

Did you not mean that to imply that Adobe is using images from customers to train generative AI? Because that's sure what it sounds like.

We've had success with non-developers using some of the visual tools built on top of LangChain to build exploratory models in order to prove a concept. LangChain does seem well suited to providing the "backend" for that type of visual node-based modelling.

Of course, once the model is proven it is handed off to developers to build something more production-worthy.
>This isn’t unarguably true. Right now we’re running a very large public debt because we spend more than we collect, so if you collected it in taxes you’d slow down inflation.

We would also slow down the economy. Higher taxes = less spending = less GDP. The inverse is also true.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/tax_cuts.asp#:~:tex....

Can you give me an example of where raising taxes increased economic growth and lowering taxes didn't increase economic growth?
Some places do, US included.

I think if you have $1m USD (or is it 500k) and open a small company that hires X employees, you get a decent visa (can't remember the type).

The problem with making that number too low is that people will be encouraged to get loans and whatnot and how does the government prevents small folk from getting exploited? Even without this, today, people are in slave-like situations already.

Sure, the government can just keep out of this and make the libertarian dream come true, but there are usually other consequences (human trafficking, violence, etc) that will cost the government (more? less? I doubt there are studies about this).

Go for it. You will fail a lot. But where there’s a will there’s a way. And the “end” is so worth it.

Similar story: I was working in software, and over the years I literally felt pain to think about working for someone else for the rest of my life. After lots of side projects alone and with friends, with VC—backable and bootstrapped ambitions, I could just feel it in my bones that solo-bootstrapped B2C-software-entrepreneurship was the best fit for my skill strengths and weaknesses, temperament, and desired lifestyle.

1. I left corporate at $3K monthly (not recurring).

2. 0 pivots on the idea that ended up “working”, but countless other side projects before AND after that idea.

3. $0 for many years. Then decided to monetize (one time purchase) a project that had decent usage and traffic. Then a few thousand a month for a year. Moved to subscription pricing and improved it a ton based on my vision and customer feedback. Now a little under $10K/m recurring after a few years from the previous milestone and growing steadily.

4. I never want to go back to working for someone else again.

5. Solo

6. See above. Two critical aspects IMO.

1. I did a lot of side projects. I had a lot of “at bats”. And each time I learned more. I developed more skills sure, but also arguably more importantly learned more about myself: what I wanted and what I could do. And you only need one hit. Doesn’t even have to be a home run.

2. Product and marketing/sales intuition are critical. I wasn’t even a software engineer, but was a technical product person. You can’t just build an impressive technical system. You have to build a product that users love (product vision/sense) and get it in front of them (marketing/sales), with extremely limited time and money (ruthless prioritization).
That is just nonsense... we don't know much about nutrition, but that doesn't mean you can't learn things from a well designed study. We know very little about human nutrition, and can't really make any reliable practical advice from scientific understanding yet, despite media and "health influencers" trying to claim otherwise. That doesn't in any way mean that all studies themselves in the field are junk.

This particular study is an observational study. That is only the very first part of trying to understand things- they notice some correlations, which can be further studied later on. They don't typically tell you anything concrete or actionable as they cannot establish cause and effect. That doesn't mean there is anything fraudulent or "junk" about them- typically the authors will be honest about the limitations in the paper, but the pop news articles like the one linked here may not be.
"Beginner" is a broad term which adds to the confusion.

I program as a hobby without any formal training. Despite doing it on and off for a few decades, I still consider myself an 'advanced beginner' for those reasons. So, having a lay of the land already, a resource like this is helpful when I'm looking for information in a specific area within front-end development.

Somewhat tangential: it's easy to drown in the surfeit of resources out there, to the point of paralysis. I've come to the conclusion that, in the end, you end up teaching yourself. To that end it almost doesn't matter what resource you start with. Just pick one and start asking and answering questions. For those questions you can't answer, the relevant resources will reveal themselves through your search.

+1 to the other commenter's suggestion that GPTs are a huge help in this regard, as long as you set a requirement for yourself not to use any code you don't understand. And GPTs are incredibly helpful with this meta step too.
Very well written and thoughtful comment. Thank you.
> Allan McDonald leaves behind his wife, Linda, and four children — and a legacy of doing the right things at the right times with the right people.

It sounds like the most noteworthy part of his legacy is attempting to do the right thing, but with the wrong people.

I think this is meaningful to mention, because saying to do "the right things, at the right time, with the right people" is easy -- but harder is figuring out what that really means, and how do you achieve that state when you have incomplete control?
What I see is a movement where line employees have a say on who is retained at the director and VP level.

The CEO reports to the board. But his immediate and second tier reports are also judged by the employees. The thought is that will give them pause before they embark on their next my way or the highway decision making. The most egregious directors who push out line employees in favor of their cronies will be fired under this evaluation.
I like your optimism. But I think you might be living in a different world than the rest is us.

SPF 15 doesn't do a thing for me in terms of extending the time before I burn, but I'll be fine all day with 30 as long as friction from clothes doesn't rub it off or water doesn't wash it away.

(I offer the other details in case they make someone go, "Oh! I was the exact same way! Here's what ended up working for me," or some doctor goes, "Oh! With these fringe details, that tells me exactly why this is happening to you." I'm hoping someday LLMs will be able to take info like this and find the weird little niche answers that Google and other search engines' advertising focus have made impossible to find online.)
Sometimes the alternative to unemployment is far less attractive (exuberant burnout or total time sink preventing a meaningful job search).

> Windows 3.1 doing on-the-fly ordered dithering when running with palettized color

Do you have a source for that? That's very much the opposite of what I remember. If you had 16 colors or even 256 colors, I don't remember anything in the Windows UX being dithered. Like I don't think you could pass an RGB color to GDI to draw a light pink line and it would dither it for you.

The only dithering I remember was indeed the background of blue gradients in Setup, and I always assumed that was custom code. After all, it's not like GDI had commands for gradients either.

Damn right. Put another way: a language model only needs to be fed data (and compute) but a human needs to eat actual food to be able to generate that data in the first place. So if big tech corps want their models trained, then should pay the people who generate the data.

https://time.com/4930742/islam-terrorism-islamophobia-violen...

Many Western politicians and intellectuals say that Islamist terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. What is your view?

- Western politicians should stop pretending that extremism and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam. There is a clear relationship between fundamentalism, terrorism, and the basic assumptions of Islamic orthodoxy. So long as we lack consensus regarding this matter, we cannot gain victory over fundamentalist violence within Islam.

Radical Islamic movements are nothing new. They’ve appeared again and again throughout our own history in Indonesia. The West must stop ascribing any and all discussion of these issues to “Islamophobia.” Or do people want to accuse me — an Islamic scholar — of being an Islamophobe too?

Please, read this article or one of the many others on this subject. You are not helping anyone by denying what is plain to see for those who are brave enough to open their eyes.
