Why do right-to-repair bills always have these kinds of exclusions? These are pretty important categories.

There it is, the "Just pay for YouTube" person inevitably shows up like usual on HN YouTube threads.

OP addressed this already: "But then again - it is mostly crap so why bother. Perfectly fine with less YouTube in my life."

I... I thought we already had dark mode..

A lot of arrogance to automatically assume any other country is in a worse position without any information. What if the person was posting from China on a VPN? How would the statement remain true then?

Why might that be?

You're wrong. Please go to this link and see how many results appear for "tip"

Yes, let's mention the middle class squeeze, but also conveniently not talk about America's tipping culture problem which would increase reluctance to sit down at a restaurant. Yes, let's completely ignore that.

Everyone obviously wants to pay extra so they can be constantly badgered and rushed out the door like cattle, and if you complain about any aspect of this, the white knights come out to drown you as they say it's your fault for not understanding the plight of the woe-is-me restaurant worker and there's absolutely nothing to be done other than shame you into not going out to eat.

I wonder why sit-down restaurants are declining.

LOL thanks for the laughs. But yes seriously though, most kinds of data analysis jobs several rungs down the ladder where the result is not in a critical path amount to reaffirming what upper people believe. Don't rock the boat.

Do you mean to say funding impacted chemistry/chemical engineering at UC Berkeley a lot? Berkeley's chemistry majors have always been top in the nation, and there is a "College of Chemistry", separate from the other science (and even engineering) majors which makes it stand out from the rest of the country. So maybe the funding goes there just because it's already a historically distinguished place for chemistry.

Is there a reasonable scenario where enough people vote "no" here? It seems unlikely, so a nuanced discussion where pros and cons are considered seems more productive. Seems like a yes/no vote makes more sense if there is actual contention or disagreement among internal factions.

If you vote no, you'll basically be seen as the stickler person without a good reason.

18 people are missing (abstained?), so could that be interpreted as an ambiguous "no"?

Apple leans its weight heavily on controversial smartphone changes and defines trends for the rest of the industry, even when it's not the first company to do so. When it removed the headphone jack, introduced the screen notch, or added a camera bump, everyone followed afterward despite the grumbling.

So keeping that in mind, regarding the modem, I remember prior comments about it being near-impossible or extremely difficult for Apple to cut out Qualcomm because of the decentralized network of mobile towers, operators, proprietary information, legacy cruft, edge cases, hardware and geographical testing, etc., which Qualcomm handles as part of its value-add. If Apple starts spearheading changes in how phone modems work, could we imagine mobile towers playing along and converging? Or is it more entrenched than that?

I have no experience in woodworking and metalworking, but I would love for there to be a low-cost way I can start learning or familiarizing routines and techniques. I currently don't even know where to start because I don't have anyone in-person to learn from. I could watch a bunch of YouTube videos, but that sounds less fun than a set of guides or tutorials in VR.

Can you explain? I must have the wrong impression, but isn't nuclear-related work specifically in the USA a declining or dying industry? Are there really plenty of jobs when Americans keep posturing away from nuclear? I knew no one from university interested in doing nuclear-related engineering for industry.

This way of thinking has been debated for a long time. It's not clear or self-evident doing it the way you describe is the best way to handle things. Sure, it's more self-righteous and sounds good on paper, but does it really hold? https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The parent comment did not specify the exploitative system as limited to tipees.

Upvote for doubling down on the "look like a fucking dork" phrase. I wasn't sure at first if this was self-deprecating humor, but now I am. Neeeeeerd!

That's... very optimistic. What evidence until now exists points to that outcome? You don't think they'll prefer the lazy route of targeting the Chinese companies themselves to avoid the real conversation?

What issue did you have with iPhone 5s and iPhone SE 2016? They were better than the 4S.

> Unfortunately, the police seemingly have no idea who did it and acted based on a tip sent with an email.

I understand the need to take anonymous tips seriously, but I mean come on... an email? I hope there was more than that.

If I assume the counterfactual where someone's attempt to tip police was ignored and an incident results, the public will criticize the police undoubtedly. Still, at some point there needs to be a minimum for verifiable, trustworthy communication if such a tip results in swatting. If I effortlessly generate dozens of plausibly-sounding scenarios, tip off the police in intervals spaced far enough and automate it, when would the police start categorizing anonymous emails as noise?

Do you feel moreso people depend on culture, moreso culture depends on people, or equally interdependent?

Would you prefer that regular LinkedIn content appear instead of the Turkish shooter?

Your first reaction is to attribute this specific situation to intentional malice?

My point is we're different types of users, or our expectations are different. "A safe bet" is not 4.5 stars to me, it's 3 stars because average restaurants should be safe bets. I believe anything 4.5+ should be home runs because I'm putting faith in the score of the restaurant actually having more meaningful information embedded in it. Unfortunately this is not the case because American sites think anything 3.5 and below is automatically shit or something will go horribly wrong. I keep going to 4.4+ restaurants on Google Maps which are actually ~3.2 on Tabelog, but when I go to a 4.2+ on Tabelog I know for sure this is a top-tier restaurant and this has never failed.

You're correct on this. Tabelog users center hard around 3 stars which is considered the real average. Users on sites like Yelp and Google Maps skew toward an average of 4.5 or 5 for what is considered a standard experience. This makes it extremely difficult to sort for places that are extraordinary because everyone keeps rating the max amount of stars by default. Same problem on Amazon. It doesn't really help to only filter for 1-3 star reviews for each place and read them all because my time is finite and I don't have all day.

Seems like a baseless restriction. I can't find anything wrong with Firefox support itself as I changed my user agent under Firefox and Apple Maps works fine.

It sucks when companies restrict normal access to a website when it's uncalled for. It's not the first time I've gotten "Use Google Chrome" for no reason.

What do you mean? CornHub already exists

Even assuming that were true, I would disagree with attributing most of a successful breach to a wider attack at large. A successful breach on Change Healthcare occurred because their software development practice is garbage.

They have difficulty hiring talent because their talent acquisition process is broken and directed from guys in Nashville who have no clue how to handle developers on the West Coast. Big dependence on manual QA from teams in overseas contractors with no automation, and for developers on that side, there's no transfer of information when the code turns into spaghetti. Code review is weak and mostly for show. Single-account passwords for use in SFTP and outdated protocols. All logic goes into SQL stored procedures when it's completely unnecessary and none of the database developers know how to wrangle it anymore because someone decided all business logic should be in stored procedures (job security?). All software planning and business meetings happen as Waterfall with elaborate Unified Modeling Language but pretends to be Agile so obviously there is ritualistic Scrum, even though it doesn't fit the process that actually happens on a day-to-day basis.

When it comes to software, Change Healthcare cares about optics and most processes are for show, not actual effect, and especially when it comes to security.

> I remember talking on the radio once during a checkride - “do you have shit in your mouth? Because you sound like it.”

Reading this already sets me off. Why the FUCK do people have uninstigated belligerence at work and to the general at large? What is their problem?

Why can't a simple, "Can you speak louder? I can't hear you." suffice? I'm so sick of people not having basic decency. This kind of person needs to fuck off.

If coding actually became this good, what would be the point of "pirating" it? Why not request that an app be made tailored specifically to your user interests and no one else's?
