Bad analogy. Money is representative of externalities, of things exchanged by others, like the time they spent working to earn the income, or selling something, and it extends through many levels of transactions in society.

That’s nothing like someone’s good looks, which, by the way, is subjective and has changed over the ages.
Yes, there's waste. I'd rather have the waste than a coup.

I'd much prefer a small amount of deflation to the massive inflation that USD is currently undergoing. And furthermore I think our economic system which encourages young people to take on debt in order to have niceties such as housing and transportation is massively exploitative and unsustainable.

> our daughter's school has to ask specific consent if they can make photos and where they can post them

The result of this is we don't see anything out daughter does in school because school decides to comply with draconian regulation by saying "fuck it". The same applies to having parents present daily: we don't touch the grounds of the school unless we make a formal request, we don't see the teacher everyday, we don't hear how the day went from professionals who actually spent time with them. This is all 100% the opposite of our experience outside of Europe before moving and I'm comparing public school system in a third world country to an European one. It's just an anecdote but it hasn't been more clear to me how much in a death spiral the EU is than the experience we currently are having
Ah I see, and yes that's a mistake I make rather often (assuming that a comment is about moderation when it's actually about the community). But tbh I don't have this impression of the HN community.

im well aware trump is worse and is not solving anything.

Also-

I do wish the gripe wasn't the egg thing - that one in specific is because they're intentionally killing hens to keep us safe from disease. last thing i want is for them to make the egg price go down and everyone gets sick.

when the tarrifs happen we will have plenty of economic disaster to point to.

Also Also-

when the pitch for the two candidates are
"things stay bad"

> Until you know more, strongly consider suggesting the company just hires someone who knows that. Just because you're available to do it, doesn't mean you should just yet.

This is a fair point. We'd always find it difficult to hire someone who was 100% specialising in software security / crypto etc, but a software eng who has some experience would probably be palatable... But funding for new hires could be a couple of years out. That, or we find a way to turn it into a research proposal we can sic a PhD on.

Still, I think it benefits us to have a strong baseline knowledge of crypto systems as a team, "bus factor" and all that. Maybe one day we have a colleague that can teach us that, but until then we may as well crack on with self-teaching :-)

That definition exists because nearly all virology involves modification of viruses. You have to have a definition of what type of research is concerning, or else it's just up to whatever some showboating congressman and his ignorant followers think. There was an entire, highly public, year-long process in the 2010s to define what "gain of function" should mean for the purpose of US-government-funded research. That's the definition Fauci uses.

> It was his professional duty to add to his answer that the gain of function they funded in Wuhan that the Congress was asking him about isn't fitting whatever narrow technical definition NIH uses.

No, it isn't. You would think a Senator in charge of regulating the NIH would ask one of his aides to explain to him before the session what "gain of function" means.

> Religion requires you to ignore logic and science (born and raised in the Bible Belt).

Also wildly not true and you’re extending an experience you had to a whole population, which is a biased opinion.

Many of us use science and logic daily, in conversations, and there are well received physicists who argue for an existence of a God using logic. The Bible says to use both wisdom and knowledge (logic and science).

>Why did the select subcommittee not report that Fauci lied if in fact he did?

it is actually in the report of the subcommittee:

"Members questioned Dr. Fauci about his facilitation and promotion of a singular COVID-19 narrative, his clearly misleading statements before Congress and the public, ..."

and Biden pre-empively pardoned Fauci. So, what else do you need?

>Why did Fauci raise the possibility of a lab leak on Feb 1, 2020

He didn't. He was told in that meeting that it may be a lab leak, and he suppressed it then and after.

>Time and time again we see conspiratorial claims with nothing to back them up.

Co-founder is just a marketing name and has no meaning in reality, actions do. Looking at this he provided in money which was likely to ruin his business by overspending it and greater minds prevailed in the end (I'm not saying paypal is a good thing or not).

I've been named co-founder once but as soon as its usefulness ran out it got removed from the website (nothing else changed).

"Goto Considered Harmful" Considered Harmful (1987) [pdf]
I think your understanding is correct - for Rust to work well in Linux, the C maintainers need to maintain more discipline than has been absolutely required before (in that if they've changed those semantics then any breakage has been largely silent and any bugs created have potentially been subtle), and changing that is a social problem more than a technical one because there's no technical mechanism to enforce the same rigor on C. The attempted tradeoff of "The bindings are up to the Rust developers" is something that only really works if the C developers are willing to accept that additional constraint.

> Do you remember when Presidents disclosed their finances and avoided things that could look like gifts/bribes?

So quaint. Now bribes are out in the open and no one even bats an eye. Trump coin, Trump media, never released anything about tax returns, selling merch, etc... It's comical to me that his followers think he's dismantling the deep state grifters, when he is a deep state grifter.

I have to give some credit to Trump and the media around him for being masters at the narrative. Hillary's emails and Hunter on a board of a company requires investigations and congressional involvement, but Trump and his family casually take 100's of millions if not billions in bribes and no one thinks twice.

I think the question "is it legal" is only relevant in a state which respects laws. Which is, increasingly, not the United States.

Those involved in the Manhattan Project who were young were doing scientific/technical work.

When dealing with organizing and managing a great number of people or resources, I have never seen a young inexperienced human performing adequately, even remotely.

Old age and presumed experience is not at all a guarantee that someone would be good in such roles, but from what I have seen, young age and the associated lack of relevant experience pretty much guarantees failure in such cases.

Please do! It took my mate like a year and a half with an amazing psychiatrist to settle on a regimen.

I'd recommend having a look through some ADHD groups; they're full of knowledge and tips and tricks that can help you self advocate.

A psychiatrist should have explained to you upon prescribing these meds that the first few days may feel like rocket fuel and that thereafter they may feel great (or can make it worse), and they should have advised you to keep a diary about your meds so at your next appointment you can review the impact the meds had and any related struggles like remembering to take your afternoon meds (if you had them, for example).

Whatever happened with your last psychiatrist that left you with no helpful meds, no guidance on determining whether the meds are working for you or not, and no follow up to boot is so unacceptable.

A little bit of self advocacy can go a VERY long way, though. Things like asking to book the next appointment at the end of your current appointment, and asking if there's any particular side effects you need to watch out for until your next appointment can mean the difference between what happened to you last time and you finding meds that actually work. You shouldn't have to remind them to do any of that but it can really help.

Sorry, I ranted a bit! I just really hope you find a psychiatrist who will actually just do their job and work with you to figure it out! Finding meds that actually help is quite achievable.

I think C++ is worse actually due to the lack of move constructors in Rust (move is always memcpy). It means you can't e.g. return std::string by value.

The issues with C FFI are comparatively minor and not at all unique to Rust. Hell, even C++ has those issues when interacting with C APIs. It's not like a std::variant magically becomes a tagged union.

* Neither the post, nor, surprisingly, the HN thread, gave much context about what the creator where accused of

* But the thread was full of outrage ; that I was, unfortunately, not entirely comfortable sharing.

My understanding from both reading a lot online and conversations with Americans in person is that a significant number of them would consider the above statement to be “socialism” which is something they’ve been taught to hate, no matter what.

> as long as it doesn’t sign international treaties

Treaties are legally binding inasmuch as the signatories' legal systems treat them as such. The legal enforcement is entirely internal. Countries are constantly geting into fights over who isn't following such and such treaty properly.

(Like, look at North America right now. Or China in respect of UNCLOS.)
These organizations consist of political appointees and civil servants. It is customary to replace all of the political appointees. Civil servants however have a lot of job protections and can only be fired for a limited set of reasons. Typically, a new administration would appoint new political appointees to the various departments (many of whom need to be confirmed by the Senate) and those appointees would then exert their influence on the department by shifting priorities around and they could even alter the hiring process to target more "aligned" individuals for the open civil servant roles. But they cannot just do a wholesale house cleaning. The high level purpose and the budget/size of the organization is determined by Congress and the political appointees are constrained by that.

So this is in fact very different from how things normally work.
