It looks like the naming was likely intentional, allegations about Cosby go back to 2004. Although Hannibal Buress didn't start talking about it in his routine until 2014.

Radiolab has a great episode about how this more broad application of the first amendment sort of came about due to Oliver Wendell Holmes changing his mind about what actually constitutes a "clear and present danger" between two Supreme Court cases in 1919.

I appreciate that you broke apart the users into two groups. I imagine Group B is much larger than Group A, and that the Haskell maintainers want to emphasize "if you use accursedUnutterablePerformIO, make sure you are in Group A!".

Most Group A people didn't get there fixing surface level stuff. They got there because there was an insidious defect buried deep that required that deep knowledge to understand or fix.

This article (https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/chick-fil...) says it is because they include milk and eggs, which doesn't make sense, because while vegans avoid those, vegetarians eat milk and eggs. However, the article also says they don't have any designated area for prep, so your cauliflower may touch chicken or may share a fryer with chicken.

Hypothetically, let's say I owned a modest home. Then, what if a very wealthy person who grew up in that home wanted to buy it for a grand sum of money? In that case, I'd be torn between revaluing my house to a huge amount (that no one except this one person would be willing to pay) and being forced to sell. It's an interesting scenario, because that wealthy person could lower their valuation almost immediately after the sale, since no one else would pay what they paid.

There is a great Radiolab series about this: G. The IQ test is an effort to measure "general intelligence", or "G", but the test has had biases over time with regard to race.

The landmark study by Herb Needleman on the link between lead exposure and IQ only studied white children to reduce any doubts about the validity of its claims [1].

Maybe the Russian Central Bank is buying up rubles to attempt to stabilize it? They probably wouldn't be exchanging them for BTC, but may be the ones holding the rubles at the end.

I've seen this on HN before, but wanted to resurface it. Now that I have been working remotely for quite some time, I am noticing these differing communication styles now more than ever. Especially with phone meetings that remove any body language or visual cues, I find that I am increasingly frustrated with mismatched communication styles involving myself or my team members. Has anyone else experienced this switching to remote work? Any ideas on how to address it or at least make it less frustrating?

I used to be a somewhat cautious interrupter in person, but now have moved toward strong civility over the phone. This has been a frustrating change since at least in the phone meetings I am on, there is almost no lull in the conversation.

At-will employment varies by state, so CapitalistCartr's comment above is true in many states[1]. For example, in Georgia, your employment can be terminated for no reason at all at any time (as long as it is not for a protected reason, i.e. firing because of the employee's race, religion or sexuality).

edit: changed Florida to Georgia because Florida specifically appears to have at least some exceptions to this[2]. In Georgia it seems even if your employer is doing something illegal and you report it, they can legally fire you in retaliation.

I wonder when home security setups will start including a Faraday cage, at least for certain rooms or areas.

I do think you're onto something here. I've heard about "right-clicker mentality" [1] in relation to NFTs, which seems to align with your description of its utility as a wealth signal.

Maybe it is because they are so expensive compared to other nuts globally? I wonder why they are so cheap in Irkutsk, it looks like they go for $117/kg in the United States [1].

If you opt into the class settlement, you absolve the defendant of all liability so you can't sue them yourself in the future (for the same issue). If you don't join the class, you can still sue the defendant separate from the class. Not sure if that was the reason for the commenter above opting out, though.

Realistically, I think most of the time, if the ad is targeted well, there are no issues. I see a good amount of ads, and the most annoying ones, to me, are the most poorly targeted ones.

However, I do think there is an inherent creepiness involved in the amount of tracking involved to achieve that level of targeting. Normally, as a person who is not terribly privacy minded, I'm not thinking about this tracking that watches everything I do. That is, until I had an experience like the top comment. I ripped the mic out of my Amazon FireTV remote that day. It made me uncomfortable that my conversation left the room without my knowledge or consent. (I realize this was Amazon, not Google, but they all do this sort of thing.)

Edit: I think ad targeting has to achieve a delicate balance of serving potentially helpful ads, while not alerting the target that they are part of the Matrix.

The housing crash in 2008 was caused by many people getting kicked out of their homes. It was too easy to get a mortgage that was too big, so lots of families were one hardship away from being unable to pay their mortgage (economic calamity). Also because it was so easy to get big mortgages, housing prices were higher than they would have been otherwise (bubble). So after the crash started, there were a lot of big empty homes and few people could afford them since lots of people were getting kicked out. So sellers and banks had to lower their asking prices until someone could afford them. There are more requirements for getting a mortgage now after 2008 so that should hopefully help to make the next crash not as bad.

Basically, if a lot of people buy houses they can't really afford, a crash will happen soon: when all those people get foreclosed on in large numbers because they can't pay the mortgage.

I wish my 71yo dad was as proficient as your mom. He doesn't remember anything he doesn't do regularly.

For example, he texts frequently but doesn't know how to check his email. Because I am the tech support child, he reaches out to me for iPhone help. However, since I am not an iPhone user, I always struggle and sometimes fail to solve his problem.

Perhaps this is a sign I have not dedicated enough time to learning this new OS in my family ecosystem, but I do feel it is the least-similar to the other OS's I have used. It's like if my dad was learning programming and asked if I'd help him with his Lisp program. No thanks.

Though maybe I am just a luddite and the universe is written in iOS.

I think that is because the link does not actually send you directly to your website, but routes you through qr.new. If qr.new were to go down, any QR codes created would not work.

Hi! I've been trying to stick with apt for installing stuff on my Pi to make software updates easier, so yeah, installing via Cargo was something I was leaning away from. No bugs to report. Thanks for sharing your tool!

I am running the Bash script from the linked blog post on my local Raspberry Pi. Is your Lambda for pointing back to your home network? If so, that is awesome that you can do that using a remote service. If you don't mind sharing, how does it work?

Nomorobo does exactly this (except the robo calls are mostly auto-detected and the script read to them is pre-recorded). It records their conversation for your entertainment also! I think you can submit your own recording to harass the robo callers too I think.
