I agree on that comparison. Since I regularly consume an american TV show as part of a community, I get to see the ads too. For the 20 minute episode, there is 10 minutes of ads, just over 1 minute each 2 or 3 minutes, roughly.

The same episode on german TV has three ad interruptions. One 5 minute one in the middle, a overlay ad about 5 minutes before the end and a zoom out during the credits showing ads to the side (the later two circumvent the normal limit of ads per hour and spacing requirements.)

People in general are far too immature to discuss politics. They are happy to spew opinions an complain about the ignorance of 'the other side' but they don't actually want to listen to other perspectives.

Look at this thread for examples. Comparing ICE agents to Nuremberg, etc.

This platform (due to the vote-based sorting) and this community are not capable of discussing politics in any meaningful sense. It's just popular opinions drowning out unpopular ones. That's why discussing politics is and should be discouraged.

PKD has an uncanny grasp on the reality-busting nature of our current reality, and the above books are a decent primer in his way of thinking. The list is by no means complete, just what trips out of my head as “Good PKD”.

His non-sf works, like Mary and the Giant and Confessions of a Crap Artist, I did not understand in the slightest as a younger man. Now I read them, and their realities are palpable, sordid, tawdry, and utterly real.

The fatality rate for human drivers is 1 death per 141 million km driven (US only, many other industrialized countries are significantly better)[1]

There are currently at least 4 confirmed deaths from autonomous vehicles[2]. While beat is correct in stating that those are not enough deaths to draw reliable conclusions from (and Model S owners are not like the average driver), there would have to be more than 600 million km driven autonomously to be comparable to the death rate of normal cars. Probably significantly more, as the cohort of human drivers that is equivalent to Model S owners is way less often involved in accidents in the first place.

We already have many problems caused by alcohol and cigarettes, costing taxpayers billions in unnecessary expenses. I get it, people need to escape reality they live in. We know that some weed smokers end up schizophrenic and that in general smoking weed weakens one's will, so in many cases we end up with grown up children going only after the things attainable by easiest efforts. There are also some legit medical uses that might help a wide range of disorders; those are fine regulated the same way as medical heroin or amphetamines are. However, why open another Pandora's box, add another bunch of disorders to the open, inviting people that would have never used them before, causing them issues? Nobody knows how would their genetic makeup respond to even first absorption of a drug. I.e. the minimal requirement of justice in preventing harm to innocents would be violated.

If you however like post-justice post-truth world, then anything goes. Why not accept all hard drugs, all sexual deviations, all violent or manipulative behaviors then? It's natural anyway, observed in animals daily, isn't it? The hard line must be placed somewhere, or not?
So on a RISC architecture, this would happen even for non-similar programs, because the number of instructions is smaller? Or would they just duplicate the processing units?
The reason HN tries to avoid discussing politics is because it's not suited for productive political discussions, so everything would be drowned in noise.

I honestly don't know of any place on the Internt suited for a productive political discussion. I'd join such a space in a heartbeat. Given how politics is both complicated and universally triggers all the bugs in human minds, such a place would have to both structurally and culturally support discovery, fact-checking and moderation that ensures only good-intended, honest people participate.

(Regardless, borderline politics happens here all the time - it's because whenever tech impacts something political, people will bring that up and discuss it. So your complaint here is invalid anyway.)

Interested to see what developments occur in this area, it’s a part of React Native I’m very familiar with as the product we are building has a native (C++) audio engine with a React Native GUI. Would be more than happy to discuss what we are doing, our experiences so far, and how we are planning to improve the integration on our end if it might be relevant to what the RN team are looking at.

That said, the experience we’ve had has largely been positive and I don’t think we could have achieved what we have so far given team size and time constraints without React Native. I suspect it gets more painful if you try to combine native and RN GUI elements - our UI is purely RN so there is a fairly clear separation of concerns.

> FileVault use largely happens on more or less insecure computers, so it is an interesting case.

That's not a good idea, an encrypted filesystem is only as secure as the computer you decrypt it on. Yes, of course, if you're carrying a USB drive around with you, it's strictly better that it's encrypted than not (protection against theft and loss), but it's not exactly difficult to imagine that a public computer should have malware installed.

For the leaker/whistle-blower scenario, disk encryption is your absolute last line of defence. When the MiB comes knocking, you absolutely want all your drives fully encrypted, but the vast majority of your security efforts should be spent on not getting identified in the first place. But what you don't want is for the MiB to find out that you're using the computers in a certain library, go there and install keyloggers and only come to your house once they have your passphrase.

Although I agree with you that this bloat is undesirable, I'm not convinced it's actually a problem with the distro. (My primary experience is with Ubuntu, and to a lesser extent, mostly by extension, Debian)

Rather, I think it's a problem with the package maintainers themselves. I certainly admit that for very many packages, this is a distinction without a difference.

However, my point is that this dependency bloat isn't based on some kind of policy that the distro is encouraging or even enforcing. Rather, the problem is merely that too many source packages create too few targets, perhaps because the original packagers never foresaw the need (for, e.g., both an X version of some graphics or GPU-related library and a non-X one for pure server work).

I've occasionally gotten around this problem by custom-building a local version of the package that avoids the dependency bloat. That violates the "software must come packaged only from the provider of the distro", unless one considers the local superset a forked distro.

> Physical and logical footprint is a real thing.

Ultimately, I think you and I are in a vanishingly small minority here. Virtualization (even the full, pre-container kind, with a full copy of the kernel on every instance) gained a startling level of a popularity, and was even lionized as a money-saving tool (which, of course, it was, for some "IT" shops).
Sam Levigne is a performance artist. The context for this work is that ICE plans to increase its surveillance of immigrants, including surveillance of social media accounts. Sam argues that if this level of transparency is too invasive even for our public figures, then why do we demand this for prospective citizens?

After a public backlash, ICE recently suspended its Extreme Vetting Initiative, which would scan social media history and automatically flag people for deportation based on the exact criteria from the original Muslim ban. The Brennan Center discusses why this is bad: https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/ice-extreme-vetting-i...

ICE will still require five years of social media history: https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/29/politics/immigrants-social-me...

Pandora's box was opened by the first sprouting seed of Cannabis on earth. The prohibition came after, so if anything we're talking about a pre-justice world, aren't we?

>Why not accept all hard drugs, all sexual deviations, all violent or manipulative behaviors then?Why not accept all hard drugs, all sexual deviations, all violent or manipulative behaviors then?

Because those things cause falsifiable and measurable harm to society. Cannabis use is by all measures benign while its prohibition actually causing real harm.
This is a very US centric view but the war on drugs is very international. Cannabis is illegal in most of the world where Americas race relations simply aren't issues, so I really don't buy into this reasoning.

This is good old moral superiority at work.
The problem is that "doing evil" is in the eyes of the beholder. To some it is performing a gay wedding. Are we supporting a world where it is ok to refuse to sell a cake because it would be used in a gay wedding? Is it a good thing that the major cloud providers and OS makers enforce a democrat agenda on their clients? I think this is undesirable and dangerous. Already there are many calls for social medias to step in to police the political debate and suppress comments that are deemed to carry fake news. It is only too obvious how such a responsability can be abused (and if human nature and history teaches us anything, will be abused).

People answering to you that "everything is politics" or that "separating tech and politics is naïve" are - perhaps unwittingly - doing a motte-and-bailey argument. The motte here is "whenever 3+ people meet, it's already politics" and "if it impacts people, it's politics". The bailey is political parties, ideologies, rallies, buzzwords, presidents. There are two definitions of "politics" at play that are being mixed, where they absolutely shouldn't.
I disagree. You can easily overdose alcohol with spirits and "pushing the tempo". Many teenagers died during stupid drinking games.
If you drink "normally" it would be difficult, but that is the same with other drugs. If you stick to guidelines you should be fine. Problem with other drugs is that you don't know purity and even what's really in them, as each dealer in the chain adds something to get more weight.

Lol, this is ridiculous.

You need to learn HTML, CSS and JS, but that are orders of magnitude easier than C++. Many people using it doesn't even have any computer science training.

Everything else you said (transpiling, framework, webserver) is totally optional and context dependent. And absolutely not needed to write a modal … I wrote a personal website this year, and I didn't need a single of this. Of course they are useful if you want to write a professional web app, but so is unit testing, a CI server, or a build system. But this isn't necessary to do simple stuff on the web.

Writing a website has a incredibly low barrier to entry, that why so many people complain about web developers not being real devs.

If you think the web is harder to grasp that the C++ ecosystem, you're being delusional to say the least.

Running a red light usually does not result in arrest. But if someone ran a red light and then refused to show their license and got arrested. Well, if their child was with them, then the child would not be put in the same prison that the parent was put in. ie. they would be separated.

I didn't read the law so I may be mistaken, but based on my understanding is someone comes to a proper boarder control and claims asylum then they will not be arrested. The ones being arrested are the ones who are crossing illegally and then when caught, claiming asylum.
> He was quickly shut down by Theresa May, who categorically ruled out legalisation or even decriminalisation [1].

Britain is the biggest exporter of Cannabis in the world. The 90-acre farm in the UK is owned by British Sugar, which is owned by the husband of the UK's Drugs Minister (facepalm). Second to that, Theresa May's husband works at a firm that is the largest investor in... you guessed it, British Sugar.

Why would Theresa May and the Tory co want to legalise it? That'd mean competition, admitting you've been lying for years, and a big dent in your profits.

I have no doubt that as soon as the Tory government is out, we'll see actual progress (in many other areas too).

> Governments will always do evil. Not to everyone, all of the time - but they are by nature evil.

If a lot of people assume this, then eventually behaviour happens according to the expectation. Within Netherlands I assume the government is usually there to make things better (though there are exceptions). What is considered better might be completely different, but still, it's assumed to be better.

I've since have a few friends who work for a municipality. It's quite refreshing to notice that they're way more open to try and do good for everyone. Unfortunately there's more populism (ignore facts, just follow assumptions).

It seems better to actively ensure that people should be improving things to ensure there's an environment where bad behaviour is frowned upon.
That last part is just the slippery slope fallacy though. There are many cases where you are not allowed to lie, and knowingly helping someone lie is also a criminal offence.
A handle is a bottle size in the US, 1.75L. Often made of plastic since its so big it would weigh more in glass, and perhaps because the kind of booze you buy in that quantity ain't luxury.

As I said, those substances are natural, for many people they would be beneficial as well for some specialized uses, like improving one's medical condition. But leaving humans in pure nature "as intended" destroys civilization - regulating behavior is necessary (even if I personally don't like it and tend to think "I know better" when I don't).

I would propose an experiment - let's look into history and see which civilizations propagated and which went extinct or ended up zombified in a non-progressive isolated state. I'd bet there will be quite a few where "substance abuse" went through the roof, and those that restricted it either completely or moved it to a dedicated "crazy week" (Bacchanalia?) prospered and progressed. Seems like hardships are necessary for progress/motivation(?), short-circuiting pleasure centers with drugs doesn't move society towards higher complexity and beauty.
Quoiting from the first sentence on the main page about asylum on usembassy.gov, which is the first hit I got on Google:

"The United States does not grant asylum in its diplomatic premises abroad. Under U.S. law, the United States considers asylum only for aliens who are physically present in the United States."

So I guess it's understandable that some people might believe they have to be physically present in the United States to be apply for asylum
