I'd love to hear the reason for the downvotes. I'm not surprised - it is kind of radical - but I am curious why people think its a bad idea. I'm sure there are good reasons, I'm not an economist and I haven't thought about it that deeply for that long.
There's a problem with this. Imagine you take group A, and you find every spot where they fall behind group B. And you manage, through whatever, means to rectify this. In the end you have not created equality, but almost certainly made group A vastly superior to group B, as you ignore the spots where group A was already ahead.

To take things out of the abstract, consider 'women in STEM'. In college girls do not enroll in STEM with anywhere near the rate boys do. And this receives immense media attention and coverage. However, there has been a sharp and increasing imbalance in girls:boys in college enrollment as a whole. In 1979 they became the majority. And the share of that majority has constantly increased. We're starting to push towards girls outnumbering boys in college by 2:1. And some education is, in general, leagues ahead of none. Yet this receives next to no media attention. And when it's mentioned the person is immediately pegged as some sort of a bigot or extremist as the connotation implied by labels such as men's rights activists.

And for what it's worth, I don't think there should be focus on this, but neither do I think there should be a focus on getting any gender/race/group/age or whatever into anything. I am an egalitarian and I think we should focus exclusively on providing equal opportunity so much as possible, but without pushing people into things. Norway is arguably the most gender-equal nation in this world, and one of their findings was when they directed girls towards fields girls did not regularly participate in, there was a mild but constant increase. Practically as soon as that push was relinquished, the numbers diminished to 'pre-push' times. On a smaller scale, like a good egalitarian I also pushed my wife into pursuing computer science over her previous interest in sociology during university. She excelled, as did I. Now years after that when we both have really our choice of whatever we want to do, she works with people -- and I work with code. I have no regrets bringing her into computer science, but it does make one wonder if it was truly the best decision. People are pliable enough that you can fit square pegs into round holes, but we also tend to be like sponges and after all that contorting that square peg contorted to fit into that round hole is eventually going to go back to being a square because that's what it wants to be.

Ask HN: Does anyone actually have and use the Surface Go or other Win10 tablet?
... and what do they use it for? I'm interested after seeing some mixed reviews online.

My curiosity came after buying a cheap Atom(!) based FHD/4G/64GB Win10 tablet and being surprised to find it better than the rank awfulness I first expected, in terms of speed and usability.

For the Surface Go I think what may count against it most is that the price including a keyboard is close or equal to that of a 12-14" thin/light laptops, which should superior in every way, except of course size and weight.

Win10 on a tablet is a bit more clunky than Android but the UX side of things didn't feel too bad to me, and Edge seemed to work OK on sites that aren't too heavy. Being able to run windows program is a big plus of course, and opens up some interesting use cases, <5W uTorrent client anyone?

Of course, Houston also isn’t the place I want to be when a hurricane comes, either.
>I have yet to see a JIT that does anything about that (i.e. analyzing code to reduce allocations).

Most JITs do this. LuaJIT does allocation sinking of tables, strings, and even C-FFI structs. HotSpot does escape analysis of everything. IIRC Graal can even do partial escape analysis (allocate the object on the stack and then copy it to the heap if it escapes on one code path). I imagine the major JavaScript engines are similar. It's a well-known performance optimization.
There was an article on the BYD London busses 4 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17400067

They seem to be holding up ok. They are only used on some unusually short routes.

I'm with you on the sooner the bussed go electric the better. Shenzhen has done all 16,359 of its busses so it's possible. They seem to be BYDs too. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/4/17/1723936...
It's fairly straightforward. I give you a pig and say you owe me a pig. You are in debt. Eventually somebody notes down I owe you a pig in some manner and gives it to the person the debt is owed to. That can then be used to settle a debt they owe to somebody else.

We use debts we own to settle debts we owe based entirely on our natural ability to know who owes us a favour and who we owe a favour.

Fat (pedal) bikes with big enough tires can ride on most winter terrain. And the warm clothing is not much an issue when you're pedaling hard and not moving very fast, since snow can be tough to plow through. Most of the time you need to focus on keeping your hands warm, preventing sweating, and staying dry from slush.

I bought a 29+ bike for winter riding, with my 3" tubeless tires inflated to 5-10 PSI, I have a ton of grip. I've pedaled up hills with ease, passing cars are spinning their tires. Granted, I have much better bike control than most people (if I do say so myself), but with a fat bike, riding in the winter is actually doable.
Is a cyclist going 15 mph in a 25 mph zone much worse than a truck going 55 mph in a 65 mph zone?
I see your point, but if I may nitpick:

The phrase "Black Lives Matter" is Ronseal. Which is to say that "it does what it says on the tin" - in the sense that the phrase exactly explains what you're campaigning for - equal consideration and rights for black lives.

The phrase "feminism" implies female rights, and (at least linguistically) nothing more. Now, it may be that feminists and non-feminists don't see the phrase as meaning that, which I understand to be your point, but I think that's where this becomes much more nuanced.

Anecdotally I have known self-described feminists who were very much about equal rights - but I have also encountered several (admittedly fewer) who were openly pro-female and anti-male.

Edit: removed anecdotal stories as they're just that: anecdotal.

I think there's a bigger discussion to be had here for all of us, and I really hope getting confronted with stories like this has the silver lining of bringing it about.

Simple, it's not doing what you think. Actual 4k monitors do not consume that maximum theoretically calculated bandwidth. Indeed, in most cases they only consume about 40% of the maximum possible bandwidth of 8 lanes of DP (which is the same as a single TB3 port.)

And yes, despite the generic support claims of 2x4k displays, it is possible to get 2 4k displays you can't run simultaneously on one TB3 port. It's just fairly unlikely.

In practice you'll have 2 4k displays using about 17.28Gbps of the bandwidth leaving the rest for other things. And there's a good reason for that. It enables MST at 4k 60hz. An example is the Dell P2415Q. It supports MST daisy chaining and you can use two of those same monitors together (not with macOS but with Windows) from a single DP1.2 port. That's only possible because the display doesn't actually demand over 8.5-ish Gbps bandwidth.

Managing Recurring Events in a Data Model
While I mostly agree, all you said needs to be balanced out against our human tendency to exploit power relationships, in particular because of the possibly involved 'inherent violence'. The legal system and many social rules are established to protect the weaker actor in a relationship.

With respect to your example of a professor marrying his student: people simply fall in love, and that means occasionally professors fall in love with students, and students with professors. But we shouldn't tolerate a sexual relationship and a professor-student relationship at the same time. So the moment they start the sexual relationship, the couple needs to adjust their professional one (e.g., moving to different universities).

If you start Emacs with `emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file --no-splash` it starts (especially in non-GUI mode) in a fraction of a second.

If you then write your init file(s) in a certain way (use autoloads) you can maintain this performance while retaining all your customizations.

The reason almost nobody does this, e.g. I don't, my Emacs starts up in many seconds, is because the workflow with Emacs for those who use it is not to be restarting it all the time.

I don't reboot my computer either every time I need to open a new browser tab, and I don't need to restart Emacs every time I need to open a new file, so I really don't care if it takes 10 seconds to start it.
You should continue reading the statement. While they use a commonly used phrase, there is some colorful language there.

Documentation is good. Post is informative. Interesting indeed.
I disagree that community requires geographical proximity, but I definitely agree that it's on the list of positive terms co-opted by internet companies to disguise their profit-driven motives. Community requires compassion and shared interest; these days it's applied to any and every kind of human connection, with no regard to whether that connection is beneficial or even wanted.

Arguably, those cities are quite livable without AC - but not working a 9-5 schedule - as its almost impossible to do productive work during the hottest part of the day. Hence in hot weather climates, the siesta.
> The world is a complex adaptive system, how does micro or macro equilibrium fit that any better than homo economicus? If anything it sounds even worse to me...

Chemistry is a field of complex and dynamic systems, yet we are still able to talk about equilibria there. Equilibrium doesn't mean nothing is changing - and in fact, it doesn't mean that the equilibrium corresponds to any actual observable state of the world. Due to aforementioned dynamism, observation effects, and other complications, it may not be possible to observe the true equilibrium state at all, but it's still a useful construct in our understanding of the chemical world.

This certainly means that if you only need a shareholder vote then you have everything else in place. "Only reason" by definition means there is no other reason this couldn't be.

Contrast:

"Meanwhile, we suggest using the stronger security and isolation properties of EC2 instances to separate any untrusted workloads."

with:

"Google Compute Engine employs host isolation features which ensure that an individual core is never concurrently shared between distinct virtual machines. This isolation also ensures that, in the case that different virtual machines are scheduled sequentially, the L1 data cache is completely flushed to ensure that no vulnerable state remains."

The former does not inspire confidence. Given the hypervisor on EC2 is opaque to me, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to avoid co-tenanting in a risky fashion.

Did you just define "normal person" as someone who lives in a non-diverse environment?

Before you get angry, go read your sentence again, at how you used "normal person". What does that say about those of us who live in places with more social diversity? That we're not "normal"?
> It's pretty obvious to me that a deliberate and intentional effort has been made to ensure that only people who own a lot of property have any voice in the system; to flip that relationship around and make it a moral statement is frankly a little scary.

That's not true. The reason why property ownership was required to vote is because in a democracy, the founders knew that if the majority of voters didn't have property then they would eventually just vote to take away the property of others. But they also knew that if the majority of people didn't own property then the government would also fail. So their solution was to only allow property owners to vote, but to make it easy and basically free for all citizens to become a property owners, and to heavily incentivize them to do so.

Early American democracy only worked because there was basically an unlimited amount of free land to give way. And to the extent that it still works, it's because technology and intellectual property have replaced land as the primary sources of capital.

American democracy is designed around broad-based capital ownership, not broad-based ownership of stupid shit you don't need. This is why this article doesn't make sense, because it would be far better for democracy if e.g. the average American owned $20,000 worth of Uber stock rather than $20,000 worth of car. Stock is capital, whereas a personal car isn't.

You can view controls on GIFs in many cases as well, I believe.

Also, nobody seems to make use of these features, but GIFs do not have to loop, nor do they have to loop by going back to the very beginning of the animation as well. In particular, I find it extremely ineffective where there are GIFs that only show a "final product/scene" for like 1 frame before looping back to the beginning.

Connect's Julian Gough: We're Being Algorithmically Sorted and Controlled
I was thinking more of the content you don’t “buy”. Have had plenty of experience with things being gone when I wanted to see it.
I also don’t “buy” things from these vendors because they keep popping up and going away, being bought and closed or merged. Have no interest having my “owned” stuff being tied to a particular company keeping in existence.

I actually ended my Apple Music subscription thinking I would be better if buying things from iTunes I listen to over and over. But they tried their very best to make that a non-option and now I actually don’t know what to do. At this point Murfie Music seems like the only option that makes sense, but I’m assuming the music industry will manage to make them illegal sooner or later so not to keen on that either.
Personally, I view this as a distinct upgrade. Instead of being coerced into lots of interaction with people I may have nothing in common with except vague geographical proximity, I have the option of interacting with people who actually share my interests or concerns or hobbies.

To me, this isn't isolated loners. It's the first real community I've ever known. The first one I've ever actually felt like I was a part of, where I was always welcome and could always rely on finding people like me.

I understand that some people dislike this shift. It's easy to see where it might be inconvenient for local communities that used to depend on coercing membership to exist. It used to be easy to erase those who were alone in the crowd.

You're absolutely right. We didn't get a Global Village. Instead, we have a network of Global Villages. They are many and diverse and offer genuine community to everyone in ways that the old approach no longer did. This is beautiful and terrible - it's a shift from surviving to thriving.

We finally get to see that there's an option other than ghettos run by the tyranny of geography.
