The important difference is that those cars were designed for you to steer and brake it without assistance. Different gear ratios and such.

I had to drive a modern car home once with the power brakes malfunctioning and I couldn't exert enough force (grabbing the steering wheel to give me leverage) to have safe braking power. I ended up going very slow in the emergency lane of the highway in second speed so that motor braking could help me stop. It was not fun.
Well, that will spawn an industry of parallel sanitised histories...
Agree there is much hype over blockchain, but there is some advantage in the context you raised.

Currently, if you want to buy or sell real-estate, you have to record that transaction on a central government database. These "databases" used to be paper documents, but are now slowly moving to electronic systems. But they are still centrally controlled, and often even new systems are horribly out-of-date and require specialized real-estate companies to record transactions and pull transaction history, with hefty service fees, often several thousand dollars per sale.

If this real-estate system was based on the blockcahin, it could remove the government as a central source of trust and title companies that specialize in interacting with it would face far more competition. In theory, it could reduce transaction costs to buy and sell real-estate. Admittedly, this may solve some problems but create others, but the benefit is quite clear.
I never had any trouble when I discovered the trackpoint.

Issues:

- at least on pre 2010 thinkpads, the sensor may recalibrate weirdly once a week and the pointer will fight you for 2 seconds (annoying but rare enough so you don't smash the laptop)

- Aiming is not very precise, but I'm a keyboard head, so the less movement my wrists do, the better... trackpads are hell for me, and I rarely need precise (by that I mean, photoshop or real time analog control precise) positioning.

Also I find it way easier to drag and drop with a trackpoint, on a trackpad the frontier between single click, long press and drag, release is so thin.. I lost track(sic) of the amount of times I triggered false positives of every cases (who never dragged something while hovering or resting his thumb too close to the pad surface ?)

In my experience building LLVM (not for Swift though), it depends on your make -j switch. With -j 16 I would run out of memory quickly (32 GB RAM, 16 GB swap), with -j 1 it would be quite conservative memory-wise, but take hours to build.

So I switched to ninja (cmake -G Ninja). It can use all the cores and not run out of memory.

Of course, some of those protections don't apply to citizens at these places either, though they play out a bit differently.

A commenter on the "Ask HN" question about good resources to learn about systems thinking mentioned the need to have a good understanding of stateful systems. Hilbert's Hotel is about state transition, it seems to me.

This is true for me also. And the result is that I'm now not going to risk a holiday in the US. I've never been and I'd love to go but the entry requirements are just too onerous.

(I'm from the UK by the way and I don't suspect anything in my past or social profile would cause a problem but the system is too capricious for me to want to engage with)

It's interesting to note that the only other countries on my "too much hassle for a holiday" list (other than outright warzones and similar) is the UAE and it's neighbours because of their terrifyingly arbitrary legal system and the risk of being innocently targeted)

EDIT - it's not entirely clear whether this affects tourist visas but my concerns extend beyond this particular measure and any visit is likely to be a mixed purpose trip in any case.
Not to disagree with you, but - what "modern" alternative would you recommend as a replacement for "wapptclsh", which is a compact statically-linked binary with wapp and sqlite libraries baked in?

Binary "wapptclsh" + your .tcl script + optionally .sqlite file, just 2-3 files are sufficient to make an app chroot/jail/container, if I understood correctly section 2.0 here: https://wapp.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/trunk/docs/compiling.md

There is another, more social, assumption he is making: value that is stored on mathematical concepts (e.g., blockchain) is more appealing as value that is stored on more traditional concepts (e.g., reputation, trust).

The social question is the more interesting one. Tech history has suggested that people slowly but surely gravitate to more open systems, but asking folks to hold their life savings in digital currencies that rely on mathamatical promises completly foreign to the average user seems like quite a stretch. It does not exactly help that just about day there is a news article of some new data breach of an online system.

As far as cars are concerned, above ~30km/h, the noise produced by air resistance is louder than the tire noise. Cars, however, are on the ground, i.e., surrounded by massive sonic breakers (i.e., buildings). It should be quite difficult to have a large amount of flying vehicles without an enormous noise impact, unless they're flying very high.

There are a couple of things which, if they happened, I think could make SpaceX very competitive.

The first is if they could drastically cut the price to consumers. The cheapest Comcast plan in my area (New Mexico, USA) is $75/month. If they offered something like $15 for 15 Mbps I think a lot of people (including me!) would buy it. This would put pressure on Comcast to cut prices (and their margins).

The second would be making a much better product. Imagine being able to take your internet with you wherever you go. I could climb up a mountain, open my laptop, and start working. That sounds pretty appealing.

WISPs sound really interesting, and thanks for all this info!
300k sounds really low. Unless they have a free and clear home with low property taxes.

For example I lived on 900 USD a month (saving over 90% if my income) for a couple years. I can’t imagine two people living off just 300k, unless it’s, again, a free and clear rental property that they manage themselves.
I'm not sure you've personally used "'pretty good'" treatment. There's a reason why generics and off-branded items are so cheap, and it's not because they don't do marketing. If you don't know: they're shit and the FDA will not prosecute large equivalency discrepancies.

I'm also not sure you've visited small town/rural doctors. While perhaps in the city (and under private coverage), doctors have natural competition with other professionals to provide the best service. Whereas doctors under relatively "public" coverage and in small areas without competition/alternatives, they really don't need to offer good, or even ethical service. It may not even be hugely unethical, like pulling wisdom teeth, when they're not causing issue or doing unneeded surgeries for "preventative" measure, or liberally prescribing medication under the guise of "quality of life improvement."

This post gives off a very strong sense of disassociation from the reality of things for the not-so well-off, i.e more than 90% of the population.

I really liked programming in Tcl way back when. The ease of producing utility UI programs with Tk was a benefit even if the main part of the program was purely server-based (I used it for data management, reporting etc.).

And while the language had its warts, the syntax was relatively easy to comprehend, so even if things went southwards, it didn't take long to see where you made your mistakes. As long as you didn't upvar and uplevel the heck out of it.

Also very easy to create DSLs with it and drop down to C if you needed a function to be a bit faster.

Tcl would be a lot more popular if it weren't for Sun's divided interests, and if they managed to get something CPAN/GEM/NPM-ish up waaaaaay earlier.
In theory it shouldn't, but in practice people don't make perfect code that doesn't have vulnerabilities. But a lot of people would argue that by having many reviewers, you're reducing vulnerabilities. Thus, my stance is that "it depends on the situation"
One of the things I like about Mojolicious (a pretty full-featured async web framework in Perl in an incredibly small amount of code) is that it has a Lite variant, which allows building your whole app (routes, app functions, helper functions, models, data, etc.) in a single file. Once you've gotten it off the ground and the one small file starts to become one big file and it starts feeling hairy, you switch to the full version, and break out all the pieces into the usual directory layout (which can be done mostly automatically).

With regard to Wapp and some of the comments here disparaging Tcl...I've often said Tcl gets much more hate than it deserves. For a lot of tasks, it's fine. I wouldn't pick it for anything, but I understand why some folks still do. And, I did build my current companies first website with Tcl (OpenACS+AOLServer) more than a decade ago. It was more enjoyable to work with than all of the PHP CMS-based sites I've built for the company since then. I wouldn't rule it out, if there were some project I wanted to use that happened to be written in Tcl.

There’s probably not a lot of interest for retail use for the reasons you state. Outside of wealth management that is more about the cryptocurrencies than the tech.

But there is still interest in peer to peer usage. When each bank keeps their own version(s) of the truth, the cost of reconciling, resolving disputes etc is huge.

The most interesting features, in this scenario, are the mutable->immutable and time ordering aspects. The literal blockchain, in other words. The consensus and transparency aspects aren’t particularly interesting though.

And the key (excuse the pun) to these useful aspects is the cryptography used in interesting ways. Blockchains didn’t invent any of this stuff but they did open people’s eyes to the possibilities.
Another slightly kludgey option would be to generate a second salt for each user, then 2 hash each hashed password in your database. When the user logs in, you 4 hash with the original salt and 2 hash with the new one each time.

Interestingly, a similar scheme could be used to offload some of the hashing work to the client machine - send the first salt to the client and have them do the 4 hash, then do a serverside 2 hash on the client's result.
Living off $12k is not in any realm of "impossible" in a first world country. It may come as a surprise (halfly sorry for the snark), but most of the world (60%) lives under less than $1800/yr. The dreadfulness and despair of it goes away when it's a personal choice to live frugally.

Actually, your credit-card suggestion is useful. My last bent-pin disater was fortunately a mostly-obsolete PGA Pentium 4 CPU, tweezers and careful, repeated re-insertions into the socket sorted it out. Given that the CPU could be had for about $5, it wasn't worth the effort, but I was trying to help a friend and I felt stupid for dropping the CPU.
Except I think I'm not listened to.

Maybe not so much for homeowners given the regulatory issues you describe, but combining this with solar panels and a backup battery could be a cool way to provide cell service to sparsely populated areas using satellite backhaul. I wonder how expensive that would be, it would be fantastic if it changed cost calculations sufficiently to make it financially viable.

1. Bosworth's reaction:"for fear it will be misunderstood by a broader population that doesn’t have full context on who we are and how we work"

2. Wrote another: “How fucking terrible that some irresponsible jerk decided he or she had some god complex that jeopardizes our inner culture and something that makes Facebook great?”

3. Back to Bosworth: "The post was of no particular consequence in and of itself, it was the comments that were impressive." (italics mine)

4. And lastly: " If we have to live in fear that even our bad ideas will be exposed then we won’t explore them or understand them as such, we won’t clearly label them as such, we run a much greater risk of stumbling on them later. Conversations go underground or don’t happen at all. And not only are we worse off for it, so are the people who use our products." (italics mine)

In other words:
1. we know better than you
2. the ends do justify the means (contrary to MZ's opinion)
3. don't mind the contents, just notice how smart the employees are
4. let us tell you what is best for you
From the outside, this all seems rather cultish. Are Facebook employees so convinced of the nobility of the company, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary?

It brings to mind the famous Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

You SEEM to be referencing the "Tk" portion of Tcl/Tk. Tk is the desktop GUI framework that comes with most distributions of Tcl. But it has no apparent relevance to this or any other Tcl-based web framework.
