Huge disappoint no info about milk goats or cows.
ed25519FUUU··on Ask HN: When were flagged submissions/comments added to the profile page?
Wow great feature. Apparently I accidentally hit the “flag” button all of the time because every one of my flagged posts was an accident. Now I get to go through and unflag them all. Sorry about that whoever made the post!
ed25519FUUU··on USGS estimates at least 45% of U.S. tap water contain forever chemicals
I’m dubious. Millions of people in the country are on wells and don’t use any fluoride, also fluoride isn’t present in every municipal drinking water supply.
ed25519FUUU··on GoFundMe refuses to cancel fundraiser for police officer charged with murder
I don’t understand the controversy of raising money even if the charged crime is a capital offense.

Nobody even knows all of the facts yet other what is being reported by the media, which is not the arbiter of truth.

If you include mobile games on ARM64 the the number of Linux gamers is significantly higher than x86.
ed25519FUUU··on How I changed my D-Link camera to a locally managed IP camera
I use a simple inotify script on the receiving FTP server that waits for a new file descriptor to close and then uses rclone to upload it.
ed25519FUUU··on How I changed my D-Link camera to a locally managed IP camera
I love this idea! All of my IP cameras just FTP to my server where they get immediately uploaded to my google drive. It works perfectly and it’s cheap but they’re still Chinese cameras connected to the Internet.

Is there a list of cameras that can be converted like this?

ed25519FUUU··on “Support for System V scripts now deprecated; will be removed in future release”
I also never understood the disdain for it. I feel like 15 minutes of reading about systemd keywords and I was on my way to making some very usable and reliable systemd scripts.

I don’t use sysv init anymore but I don’t feel like I ever fully understood those scripts.

ed25519FUUU··on Ignoring boys' emotional needs fuels public health risks
Yes exactly that. Appeal to authority.

Many people have such broken relationships with their parents that they refuse to believe their parents can offer them good advice.

Before they take a parenting class, they might be better served taking a counseling class to repair their relationship with their own parents.

ed25519FUUU··on Ignoring boys' emotional needs fuels public health risks
In my case experts are people who raised well adjusted children and are still happily married! It can even be your own parents as much as people (very prideful) don’t want to admit that.
ed25519FUUU··on Estimated U.S. deer population, 1450 to 2016
But good grief those animals make sound annoying sounds.

Another alpha tick predator are possums.

ed25519FUUU··on Estimated U.S. deer population, 1450 to 2016
I swear they know when hunting season starts and is over.

They simply disappear from our area during hunting season, only to return in huge numbers as soon as the sounds of gunshots stop being heard.

ed25519FUUU··on Estimated U.S. deer population, 1450 to 2016
Do you need a tag and permit to hunt them?
ed25519FUUU··on Black-owned radio station may lose license over FCC 'character qualifications'
At first I thought this was maybe clickbait and the article would provide some additional details. But it’s pretty much as dumb as it sounds.

Basically any radio station owner with a felony is automatically placed into a hearing, and this tax fraud felony from 2008 was made available to the FCC now (from not paying taxes on some cigarette stamps, seems a trifle).

Still seems dumb on the FCCs part. It’s not like you’re guessing about the station. It’s been on the air for a decade. No hearing necessary.

Lol if you think people sell anything to the US government without price gouging then.
ed25519FUUU··on $900k Median Package for Engineers at OpenAI
I guess the first part of that is like netflix, but as you know the second part is not since netflix is 100% cash unless you want to participate some portion of that in the employee stock plan.

ed25519FUUU··on Moving fast with the core Vim motions
The nice thing about vim is all modern IDEs have vim movement plugins. Once the movements become muscle memory you can keep using them in new environments. Nice!

ed25519FUUU··on Westfield Gives Up Downtown San Francisco Mall
Typical sna Francisco story. Property owner says it’s the crime and deterioration of public city. The city says it’s actually not their fault. San Francisco defenders say it’s actually just economics and nothing is truly wrong with their city.
ed25519FUUU··on Is liberalism digging its own demographic grave? (2022)
I think this[1] is an interesting graph: income level vs children.

The group with the lowest TFR? White couples who make between $200k and $250k. Clearly it's not just about income because the uber poor and uber rich have about the same amount of children.

ed25519FUUU··on Is liberalism digging its own demographic grave? (2022)
It's not just hard to understand, it's actually wrong.

By income, the lowest TFR group in America are Whites that make between $200-$250k[1]. The poorest Americans have the same amount of children as the uber rich Americans.
