What attitude?

Do you have data to refute my assertions?

I linked my sources in other comment.

Not by much, even then he comfortably exceeded life expectancy for West Bengal.

Yes. It seems I lack the ability to be deeply happy even when everything is great

If that’s the goal then I think this is a good initiative.

Honestly this not a bad move. It incentivizes the right behavior and the extra levy isn’t ludicrous.

I am as libertarian as it comes but this looks like a proportionate response to pay disparity and a way to generate extra $$.

That being said I am skeptical of it being very successful in either of its goals.

Me too, confusing to transform from one to another, error prone and computationally awkward

AGPL is a fantastic license. Best for dual-licensing, you still keep your development in the open but you can monetize the code too.

Yup it’s pretty bad.

It’s unusable on mobile.

Meh. Have a floor of 3x average employee and let the pay be proportional to performance. There are natural limits to growth anyway.

HN crowd is a sucker when it comes to Mozilla. These bleeding hearts don’t bleed for furloughed and fired Mozilla drones. They only care about their political agenda not business or technological value.

That’s not bad all things considered

I really like the philosophy of Free Software and particularly applaud the efforts of Purism.

But the phone is unusable!! 4 hours of battery life, persistent bugs and hefty price tag.

Maybe privacy has a huge premium to pay, which I doubt 99% are willing to pay

Prof Stein,

I am pleasantly surprised to get a reply from you! I have one question, How often is Sympy used in Sagemath compared to Maxima?

Or rather when I do symbolic math in sagemath, do I ever hit Sympy?

Completely agree with your assessment, I also went to an ‘elite’ college, had the exact same experience.

I think sagemath uses this for their symbolic package

Wonderful!

Chromium is an excellent project but just sometimes slow to adopt certain features.

I love chrome and chromium browsers, I hardly have any issues with them.

Unlike garbage FF and unreliable Safari

Almost a Clickbait

Yeah the health ramifications are massive. you may go under debt and probably accrue more of you default on a few payments but if you are sick and can’t get back up fast potentially your entirely family will suffer a lot

They have deep legacy ties with DoD (aka lobbying), but they do launches for the military.

Is it actually backwards compatible? I don’t think it is, they continually introduce breaking syntax changes.

Please somebody enlighten me

Your comment is a lifeline to me in this difficult time.

Why are we not resourceful in normal time?

I had more faith in the medical infrastructure of the US and common sense of the populace!

How wrong I was! I had no idea how woefully underprepared hospitals were for ANY kind of emergency.

Who in the actual world has a coronavirus party? The lack of policing when it came to stop crowds (ironic right?), the strange refusal to wear a mask, the bizzare and blatant apathy.

I could list many things but I have to say, the federal and state governments completely dropped the ball when it came to tracing and enforcing quarantine.

I was reading how Sweden, Germany and South Korea handled the initial pandemic. Now even the hardest hit countries like Spain and Italy are faring very well.

Sweden didn’t close the country at all and relied mostly on voluntary confinement/quarantine though the strategy has been criticized for not protecting elderly but there isn’t a total economic shutdown or untamable level of pandemic.

US got the worst of both worlds mass unemployment, screeching slow economy and uncontrollable intensity of pandemic.

I have to say I was wrong when I thought strict lockdown wasn’t necessary in April-June.

US suffered catastrophic GDP shrinkage without even the benefit of pandemic being manageable.

It would have been preferable to have a even more catastrophic Q2 and slow but steady recovery from then on.

Now this constant start-stop isn’t helping the economy recover while the pandemic is still wrecking havoc!

COVID-19 exposed every level of inefficiency and incompetency in governance, healthcare and public discourse in USA

I still have reservations against UBI but I think some form of it is inevitable and perhaps necessary.

I am not sure even OECD nations have sufficient production capacity for everyone and carrying capacity can solely rely on automation in the near future.

I think a short “draft” (2-3 years) of people into various community and defense activities should be mandatory for all healthy young adults before they are eligible for UBI.

I like the idea of efficient consumption.

Lmao! Some guy “thought” Apple doesn’t refund the commission and HN and Twitter and reddit had complete meltdown!

As some of the comments point out here, people who tried to correct the claim with data from their experience or cite directly or indirectly Apple, they were downvoted to oblivion.

If HN isn’t guarded against fake info, I guess no one should be expected to.

No, it was blatant theft of IP and some might consider corporate espionage.

He was a high level exec at Waymo, who stole the IP which represented the core competency just before he jumped ship to Uber.

Yup, worthless. It doesn’t account for different metabolisms, age and eating habits sufficiently to be considered worthwhile.

And timezones. Some classes are synchronous and often deadlines times unsuitable.

Yup, Chomsky conveniently denies this Genocide.

It was brewing for a while. I am surprised that so many apps got b&. I was sure weChat and TikTok were gonna get axed but not others

Can any of the HPC experts shed some light on how these ARM chips are better than their predecessors. I toured a small cluster in LANL, where the ARM chips ran the hottest and their cooling was the loudest.
