Its a 3-step plan:

1. stop subsidizing it. 2. stop buying it. 3. deal with the monumental consequences of step 1.

An optional 4th step might be taking some time to understand basic economics.

A 5th step would be to address the underlying causes of poverty in our communities, rather than complain that we have too much food to give away. (Note that taking step 1 will probably change the economics of food such that there is much, much less free food floating around)

> The one thing that's different with computers is that usually the police can just break into your house (or a safe, or something like that) if you refuse to give them the key, and encrypted drives have no other alternate route in. So you wouldn't be kept in prison indefinitely for refusing to comply with a warrant; you'd just get your door knocked down.

This isn't really new with computers. People have been writing in code since time immemorial. What would have happened two hundred years ago if some defendant had been using a book cipher and the police don't know which page of which book is the key?
Ask HN: What is the best platform to coordinate people to fix a local problem?
My neighborhood in a major American city is generally a great place to live. However, there is a large, (somehow) publicly owned and privately run, Section 8 apartment complex that is a constant source of crime and gunfire a majority of nights (not fireworks, there is a difference, and I'm aware of it). There have been two nights of 20+ shots being fired this week for example. The corporate landlord is located about 2,000 miles away.

It has been a constant source of chatter on the Facebook and Nextdoor neighborhood sites, and has been a problem for several decades now. There ARE several security measures that have proven effective in reducing crime in the past few years, but they require more or less active maintenance, namely on premises security, gates and outdoor security cameras. The out of state landlords do not make that a priority.

Much agitation has been spent on social media, which is effective in informing the neighborhood about the problem, but ineffective in finding a solution.

Does anyone know of a good platform to use to coordinate neighborhood efforts in solving the problem as much as it can be solved? I'm envisioning something like

Description of the problem
Mapping
History of incidents (i.e. 32 shots fired on this such and such a date, Police Report ABC123 filed (link to pdf etc)
Numbers to call/emails to send (corporate landlords and political leaders)
What the goals should be (in this case on premises secuity, working gates and security cameras)

Just checking to see if there is a pre-built solution before I start to build one...

Subsidize correctly. I'd suggest first and foremost subsidizing healthier flours and seeds/nuts destined for breadmaking. We'll probably need some tax breaks or other sorts of incentives so that mills can scale the product correctly. One of the advantages of using the more refined flours (the all-purpose flour you can buy anywhere) is large-scale production.

And then add a tax to either the more refined flours (which is likely to make sweet baked goods go up in price as well) or simply tax the more unhealthy white bread and buns so they aren't nearly as affordable.

Edit: I'll mention that some salt is actually good for bread making, as it balances out the yeast. I'm not sure if this is such a problem on an industrial scale since they can control variables much better than the home cook. In addition, it tastes weird without salt. but it doesn't take all that much to satisfy the physical and taste requirements.

Furthermore, I'll advocate for a bit of fat in the bread, though it should come from healthy sources. This helps bread not go stale so quickly, and I'm actually more concerned about unnecessary preservatives.

Finally, an afterthought: We should make sure to make the healthy bread convenient and available, even in a food desert.

I got lucky while testing my camera, which is mounted at prime focus in a refractor scope. I had it in Live View which meant the mirror was up, and I removed the solar filter for just a second.

The camera said "error", turned off, I replaced the solar filter, and it was fine. Much longer, and I'd have had a burn. The telescope really collects and concentrates a ton of light.

Because it's aesthetic.
"Just" that. Maybe.

The problem is that, at the risk of trivializing a lot of good research, science related to the brain/how we think/etc. has seen a whole lot more money spent and the effort of smart people expended than it has seen useful results. There are still debates going on about a lot of aspects of learning and other aspects of cognitive science that were probably already happening when computers were made from vacuum tubes or even earlier.
The real question is why can't we make bread anymore. To much of this crap called "bread" and none of what used to be known as bread. Something is really wrong with the system when competecies that were for eons the norm really can't be done anymore at a cultural scale. Something is wrong in Denmark people, and by Denmark I of course mean America.

While this may be true, the government has asked the court to order him to decrypt it as they search for those images. If they are after a bigger network of people sharing these images, then they should say so and grant him immunity or work out some type of deal with him.

As I said earlier I am not taking a position on whether what he did was right or wrong or on the moral aspects of the subject matter but here in the US the government must have a warrant to search electronic devices and that warrant must name the material they are seeking. If they list images related to child pornography, child molestation, etc they cannot go looking for evidence of drug dealing per se. But let's assume they find evidence of drug dealing, do you not think they will simply broaden the scope of their investigation and go looking in every corner of s life to now prove something they previously were unaware of before they hypothetically gain access to the drive.

A good summary of the key arguments in the book can be found in this programme that aired on BBC, hosted by David Graeber himself (the author of the book)

Dude, you're incredible!

Don't worry too much about what to do next. Just let your curiosity guide you. You've got a bright future ahead.
Debt, the first 5,000 Years (David Graeber) - Learned that most of history has been communist (eg. hunter gatherer societies), shops of the past were run on credit (eg. tally sticks), money/capitalism tended to emerge with the rise of the state, taxing to feed soldiers for war, and that the drive to pay off one's debt fueled a lot of the cruelty of mankind (eg. Hernan Cortez, Casimir).

21 Things they don't tell you about Capitalism, Bad Samaritans (Ha Joon Chang) - Learned that free trade is generally bad for developing countries, countries need to build out high productivity industries to grow their economy in the long term and avoid a balance of payments deficit (unless blessed with oil or something), manufacturing is vital to a country's economy and its service sector, "free markets" are a constantly evolving political definition with numerous inherent double standards, the only reason most of us in first world countries are paid well has nothing to do with our own superior ability (eg. bus driver in India vs. Norway), but due to immigration control and the institutions we inherit.

But I don't think every city needs Manhattan style density. Four, five story mid-rise density is the answer. Austin's urban core is building heavily in that style. I was just in Milwaukee for work as was surprised by the huge number of mid-rise buildings all over downtown. Just to show two midsized cities with insane growth at the core.
What is the solution then?
Interesting idea. Instead of thinking of computing as an authoritarian schema, it could be a community schema, using a kanban or currency system to communicate resource needs between units.

It's also similar to negotiating memory over commitment in virtualization. VMWare's driver on the VM "inflates a memory bubble" to communicate host memory constraints to all client VMs. This is often done when VMs have allocated 125%-300% of the host's physical RAM, and forces clients to swap more.
COM has some simularities to GObject, IMO.

What they did is they restricted themselves to the parts of the C++ ABI that are stable in practice. This is C exports, C types, and the layout of classes and vtables. COM is entirely usable from C (although cumbersome). The layout of a COM class/interface just happens to be the layout of a C++ class or vtable.

Is it just confined to bread? I feel like subsidies/industrial farming have led to a homogenized diet overall -- to the point where it can be hard I think to confine the definition of oversupply to only one foodstuff.

Trail has been in place for years. What this is is the end of a decades-long debate about trail use. Parts of the trail were once open to motor vehicles (quads, logging roads etc) and some people dont think that should count. Note the very specific language about use, that snow machines are allowed in winter and horses in summer. Some trails are also on private land, where limitation on use gets complicated. This the end of a long debate between specific parties not the physical completion of any great work.

True. Wanted to see the map right away so googled for it before reading all the way through. Ended up spending time on the map and forgot about the article till later. I guess that is why the author put the map link at the very end of the article. A map image at the start of the article might have kept people reading.

The problem should be the ability to sift through and recognize patterns in the massive amounts of data collected, in a manner that provides value to end users. The problem of data (IO) collection/remote collection is long solved. This is what happens when the focus is wrongly placed on how the data is collected rather than what to do with the data when you have it.
great work kabir, I am 21, I am not half of what you do, you're awesome. do more good. :)
I'm not that cynical. A lot of work went into getting it to this point and they're not just calling in "done." That said, there appears to be an awful lot of road walking compared to most other official long distance trails, even if those do sometimes have sections of road here and there.

I buy morton lite salt. Has half potassium chloride and half sodium chloride, with iodine. Also says it has a little bit of madnesium carbonate, so pretty decent electrolyte balance.
the problem with it including waterways is that words have meaning, and "trail" and "waterway" are words that mean different things.

it's cool that they include waterways in their map. my problem is that they don't call it the "canada-wide recreation areas network", they call it a trail. and it isn't.
doesn't iCloud Drive get rid of your dropbox needs?
I'm talking to myself at this point, but I think the problem with the caching is that every attribute lookup p.x has to consult the type, not just the object. That's not true in Java.

So you avoid the dictionary lookup, but you're still following extra pointers.
That's very strange for me to hear, considering the position of the author himself and some of the views espoused in the book. Though I shouldn't be saying that books ought to be restricted to certain ideological followers. As a Communist myself I have my own favourites but I doubt they'd be so useful to anyone here.
> The UK is insane for immigration.

Completely. I could immigrate to Germany for about 1/20th of the cost (in application and legal fees) that it is taking me to simply maintain my residency in the UK. And is despite being a native English speaker, Oxford graduate, resident here for 10 years, and founder of two UK companies.

By the time I get permanent residency here, I will have spent over £12,000 on application and legal fees, and hundreds of hours on paperwork.

Those in the UK who believe that they can remain an internationally competitive and attractive destination with this kind of visa regime are -- I'm sorry, there's no polite way to say this -- utterly fucking delusional.
I agree, Objective C was a nice little language. In the mid-90s I worked on one of the few (only?) non-NeXT Objective C projects, the Swarm Simulation System. We chose ObjC over C++ because it was simpler and more dynamic. At that time the GNUstep project was pretty new and most of the good stuff was in the GNU ObjC compiler and small runtime. It worked pretty well, particularly the very clever tclobjc binding that made it easy to script Objective C programs.

I've never used Apple's modern ObjC but from the code samples I've seen it got pretty complicated.

There is a subset of COM that is elegant and usable. And there is a ton of stuff that is only rarely used and understood. I'm looking at you, apartment models.

Basically, COM are conventions how to layout structs and name functions, such that other code can load your DLLs. Coincidentially, they are almost identical to C++ classes, so you can often just return a pointer to a C++ class.

There are layers and layers of conventions stacked, which makes it a bit complicated. On the low level, you can call stuff by knowing the memory layout. You have a header file and a pointer, and call the function at pointer+4. Fine for consuming from C/C++. Later, they developed IDispatch to call a method by string name (good for Visual Basic or scripting). There were interfaces to make Widgets (Custom controls / ActiveX). I personally found that the documentation for all that stuff was not very good.

However, it was fairly easy to create and consume COM components Visual Basic (and to some extend MSVC). There was a booming market for VB custom controls long before .NET. Its a bit unfortunate we don't have something like that today.

Ha. As someone on the other side of this, we used to spoon feed availability to OTAs that do this. Set up a competitive price, and it worked wonders. Now they just took it to another level, which would make that technique work even better, Booking sites never know the exact availability of any property. It could look like only a couple left, but there could be blocks, cancellations, who knows why the hotel decided not to give all the rooms. That is part of the inspiration behind priceling getting hotelnija and expedia releasing its own. Even hostelworld had their own PMS for years. So dont believe when there is only a few left.

Hi Kabir,

Everybody here seems to want to dish out advice, but I'd like to turn the mic to you. I'm a new parent with two kids under 3. I also started my career my learning HTML/CSS on my own in the early 2000s. It was a different world back then. What are you most grateful for about how your parents raised you, and what constraints did they impose? I want to protect my kids from all the crap, but don't want to stifle their creativity and desire to learn freely.
