Sometimes things really are that simple though. Why can you (most of the time) leave your bike outside a store you stop at in Japan but not in America? Because it isn't part of Japanese culture to take what doesn't belong to you, but is normal for a number of Americans. Why can you get relatively wholesome food at a 7-11 in East Asian countries while you get junk and trash at ones in America? Because Japanese people prefer real food over getting chips and a crappy sandwich for lunch. Why are nice public facilities possible in those kinds of countries and not America? Because those people don't wreck, vandalize, and spray grafiti on them, while Americans do.
>Many people fear using new open source project if it is developed by a small team or even a single person.
I fear because that makes for a smaller/single point of failure. Some guy or a few people make something really nice and useful which you like? Well, he's gotten bored now and has decided to stop developing/maintaining it. Now you're screwed for some time until other people pick it back up depending on demand. Feels like it happens way too often, so I'm not too interested in picking up new things too much compared to established projects where people are actually paid to do it or at least have some responsibility.
Legal is an acceptable term right? No one bats an eye at "Legal Resident". What's the opposite of legal? Illegal. As far as I think, these are just states and do not imply anything about the person in question. They are terms I assume used pretty ubiquitously in most places of the world with a government in different forms.
Again, as far as I think, being somewhere illegally doesn't make you any lesser of a human than I am. But they are still here illegally. I could call them undocumented too, but they're still here illegally.
That's you projecting what I mean by "illegals", while I'm just using official terminology. I do not have an opinion one way or the other regarding the app's existence and motives.
As a legal resident, that's basically why I feel pretty confident in my green card. What the fuck kind of priorities does ICE have if they are messing with people who actually have documents and are here rightfully while there's actual illegals roaming around?
Also, the fact that I live in SoCal, makes me feel pretty safe somehow. :)
It's essentially no different, but some would argue the weight of the 'crime' is different. I haven't given my personal opinion on this btw, I was just saying who the likely target audience is, as legal residents aren't likely living worried about being deported any day now (I'm one).
Hell, I don't even know if actual illegals living on the low over here would even be able to find this and know what to do with it lol. Are there illegals browsing HN? Genuinely curious.
Judging the app/website itself, it annoys me. You can see the first iMessage bubble for a few seconds but then it gets pushed out of view by the second message and the top part gets cut off.
Based on the website, it looks like they are trying to appeal to young people at a cafe in leisure rather than at-risk people on the run from government agencies lol. It doesn't look like anything I would put my trust in if I were in that situation.
His post seemed genuine and like an appropriate thing to ask to me. No need to get the pitchforks yet, you can try talking to the person and clearing any misunderstandings first.
Damn, if only I knew I just had to have 50k laying around to invest in stocks to not be poor...you figured it out! We have to let the world know about this.
What's the Linux hack/solution to changing the battery charging thresholds? I really enjoy that feature with this W10/Laptop right now. Battery has been at 75% for the last two days, so it's not charging and just being sustained while my laptop is running entirely from the plugged in charger unless I'm mistaken. I really enjoy that. Windows also seems to have gotten much better at power efficiency overall.
Funny coincidence, I recently debloated my W10 with a script as well. I saw the one in the OP during my search, but ultimately didn't go with it as it didn't look legit to me compared to another one that I found mentioned in a article guide.
Without any mention of the person or specific repos, I for a split second thought that this article was about Github shutting down and all repos needing a new home lol
Well that's uncalled for. I regularly lift weights and consider myself fairly healthy. I have an eating disorder if I skip a meal in a scenario where the only option is junk food?
To be fair, I skip the meal until I get a chance to eat something nice, and I'll usually eat an extra big meal to make up for the missed one.
I think anyone who overindulges in soda and other junk are junkies. The people who buy them off SNAP are no better. I think it may be a lack of education or cultural or even psychological thing. If the SNAP isn't providing enough, and you have this little amount of money to spend on soda and chips which provide 10x more pleasure than spending the same money on some fruit, I would probably be a junkie too. (Personally I have lived like that before). But I doubt that giving more money would help unless we try to push people toward better options at the same time. Now I avoid soda(especially) and junk like the plague, because I've changed my mindset and outlook on things. For me, it's better to eat less overall(not enough calories) or just miss the meal until the next opportunity than eating junk food. That's because I've experienced what consuming that trash is like versus eating healthily. But other people may not have the same experience or education or culture to reach the same conclusion. I am quite fond of the Japanese portion sizes for instance. I'm also really into fasts. I think everyone should learn that you don't need to always be eating 3-4 meals every single day outside of specific situations.
What makes you think they'll buy more healthier food instead of just getting even more junk? That's like giving more heroin to a junky in hopes that'll he'll shoot up less.
Sounds like the lie moms tells their meek sons about being nice gentlemen to get girls :( works until Chad tells your manager about how uncooperative you are for not participating in meetings with them so they get the impression that you don't contribute anything even if you do a lot of work. Chad gets promoted over you of course.
Only reason you need: It exists in most places and is so ubiquitous that you will probably never get rid of the concept of marriage no matter how hard you try, so you might as well live with it and work around it. Maybe it's useless to you, but a lot of people like to do it. It's like asking why some cultures still eat really unhealthy(but hella delicious) stuff when they have access to organic cow-fed vegetables. Because it's their culture they always had, and it's just really delicious.
It might fall in line with "Better the devil you know than the one you don't." Like while some Japanese people may dislike Korean people, they may at the same time think that Korean immigrants will assimilate far better than say, a bunch of loud Americans. Purely random example by the way, no political or hate motive. I said some, not all, so back off with the pitchforks please. Also, Americans aren't a race :)
In my modern experience though, no one would dare put up such a wanted ad, while one asking for a person of color, minority, or some form of diversity token would be perfectly okay. So I guess it is edgy after all to say "White CEO Wanted", but not for the reason they were going for.
Reminds me a lot of hacking servers in cs 1.6 back in the day. I was a regular in some of them. People in these servers would pretty much brag about how much better their hack was compared to everyone else's(often also claiming that they programmed it themselves, could be true sometimes but id say most not). I thought it was fun. Everyone has an aimbot, but the faster, better coded one will win.
