> I don't think anarchists have really thought through their position or have noticed particular ironies within it.

Anarchism is an ideology that has been formalized over 150 years ago, with numerous books and treatises on the subject. I'm not an anarchist, and not particularly sympathetic to them, but to claim that "they haven't really thought trough their position" is more than a tad condescending.

BTW, if you want a not-so-dry treatment of how an anarchist society might work, read Le Guin's "The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia". It specifically answers your questions about conflicts. Maybe not the way you like - not even the way some anarchists in the story like - but it's an answer.

10 years of chugging the RAM to the point of rendering the whole machine unusable? :P

For some time, I've been constantly switching between Firefox and Chromium. I was switching to Chromium because it was more responsive than Firefox on light workloads; however, on heavy ones it was absolutely unusable, so after a while I was switching back to Firefox - forming the browser-switching loop.

Thankfully, Firefox got a lot better in the past few years and it's been a while till my last browser switch :) Chromium might be fast, yes, but only if you either use the browser pretty lightly, or you have tons of free RAM around. I have only 8 GB of soldered in RAM and hundreds of open tabs on average, so Chromium is not for me. 20-30% improvement sounds like a good start, but not really a big enough difference.
Do you have numbers for how much of the web avoids variable hoisting? How much of the web has more than one top-level fn per file? Do these numbers shift significantly between different toolchains or methods of delivering JS?
> Just realize that cars can get behind you quite quickly without you realizing it, and not signaling that you are stopping is dangerous.

One can always use hand signals too; that was something I was taught when I first learned to drive. Open hand out the window pointed up for a right turn, pointed straight for a left turn, and pointed down at the ground for slowing/stopping.

Of course that was 25 years ago; I wonder if hand signals are even still taught in driving schools.

Hm, not sure about this comparision.

The magnitudinal (?) difference going from millions to billions, being three powers of ten or (approximately) ten powers of two, is exactly the same as from billions to trillions. This works for thinking about countable stuff like populations, amounts of money, piles of grains of sand/rice, marbles and so on. Multiply by a thousand and you're good. However thinking about time periods is different, in that we rarely multiply time periods like this, or when we do we keep the units the same. Generally we don't think of large numbers of seconds as a collection of discrete things.

From your example, people tend to think about '11 days' vs. '11 000 days' or'31 years' vs. '31 000 years' and easily grasp the difference in size. With a bit of practice (and a fondness for Vernor Vinge) it's true that you could gain an intuitive feel for kiloseconds (around 15 minutes) and Megaseconds (around 11 days) although you would have to put up with the strange looks and constant requests for clarification...

My point is, using time intervals separated by the orders of magnitude in question is a poor way to get a feel for what billions and trillions of things (e.g. dollars spent on war) and you would be better off thinking about what a billion dollars might get you.

In fact, at USD 200 million each, it gets you five brand new Boeing 767-300ER jets. So, now thinking about the 1.5 trillion from the OP, that gives 7 500 of them. If you split up all the people alive in the world today into groups of one million, each group could have its very own 767. There would be eleven for Belgium and about three for Wales, the traditional country-sized units. Alternatively you could build two Shards[0] for a billion, and three thousand for one war. If you built all of those in Belgium, you'd probably annoy people, though.

If you prefer, you could convert it all to Gummi Bears! They are about USD 0.01 in bulk, and weigh about 2.5g each. So a billion dollars worth of them would weigh 250 000 tonnes, about equivalent to the gross tonnage of an oil tanker like the Globtik Tokyo[1] which was the largest supertanker in the world when launched in 1972. Our war equivalent in Gummi Bears is 250 million tonnes, for which the obvious object for comparison is the Great Pyramid of Giza[2] so the sweets would weigh the same as about forty pyramids.

I forget what my point was, now...

Funny you should mention, as Rockauto came to the rescue for the transmission kit, and Advance for the spark plugs. Now I only go to Amazon if the car part isn't on Rockauto, but it begs the question - if this part is so obscure it's not on the specialty site, can I really trust this Amazon listing is actually the part I need, and that I will not instead receive, say, a used birdhouse?
Federal regulation requires brake lights to be on if deceleration from regenerative braking to be over specified thresholds.

has the same vanilla handling as a Camry

I hear ya. FWIW, a modern Camry would outpace a Ferrari or Porsche from the 80s, and arguably some of them are starting to give the early 90s (NSX, Supra, 300ZX, RX-7 etc) a run for the performance money. Looks not so much.

The fact that the majority of your vanilla commute-boxes (Camrys, Fusions, Accords, etc) are now shipping with 220+hp stock / 280+ sport and platforms that have gone through decades of rigidity research and tire tech, means the majority of drivers are getting way more performance potential than they can possibly wring out. A base 2018 Camry SE is now pulling 0.88g on the skidpad.

Heck your average soccer mom is now getting 300+hp in her "well-equipped" SUV for the red-light commuter drag race thanks to things like the 3.5 Ecoboost. Since when does a Ford Edge run a low-14 quarter-mile??

The last 10 years of automotive tech have been another golden age similar to the 60s IMO. Reliability, safety, and performance are all vastly superior.

Show HN: How to Generate (Almost) Anything with AI
The American car market as a whole are almost entirely automatic due to overall consumer preferences. However, there is also a minority of enthusiast drivers who greatly prefer manuals and are very vocal as such. Cars that are marketed more towards the enthusiast end of the market are those that you'll find stick shifts in more often, e.g. Miatas, Porsches, Corvettes, etc. These days though, even the enthusiast cars are selling many more automatics than manuals.
I'm a biker, so hand signaling is most of what I do. Though, much easier said than done. And, most people in cars are highly focused on key features. The brake light in front of them being one of them.
Yes, thanks :) That's what I was thinking of, and ought to have mentioned it. It was on HN within the past week or so.

And yes, that could be a great outcome. But sadly enough, I suspect that the situation will get a lot worse before the US, at least, does anything substantial.

Don’t know why you’re downvoted, since the Controlled Substances Act was meant to disrupt African American and leftist political efforts, according to Nixon’s domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman.

They couldn’t raid black panther meetings for legally possessing guns, but they could for smoking joints and selling drugs.

Good point, I'll take a look at the creating an internal CA and generate own certificate.
The point of LE API servers down is pretty good and makes the use of own CA more enticing. I suspect that will also break a lot of other websites as well as the usage of LE grows overtime so I suppose critical systems should avoid LE altogether.

No complicated behavior was produced.

> Or, I don’t know, maybe it says something about the complexity of Dota 2 game?

Dota 2 game was not played. A tiny subset of the game was attempted. Since people seem to be just buying whatever OpenAI propaganda sells them, let me be specific: only 18 heroes are in the game. The combinatorics explode when you go from 18 to 110. Go on a 5x5 board is a joke compared to 19x19 Go. This is not hard to understand.

> Do short term tactics combined with fast reaction time beat long-term strategy?

In a game designed for humans, perhaps yes, because the game wouldn't be tested against extremely fast reaction times. The game was meant to be a strategic game for humans. Just because OpenAI Five appears to play Dota 2 (still doesn't beat any serious players though) doesn't imply anything fundamental about tactics beating strategy.

Note that `/etc/passwd` contains no passwords or other security sensitive stuff. You might be thinking of `/etc/shadow`.

That is an example of something you might not actually want to do, though embedding a file from the code repository (e.g. as https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.include_str.html does in rust) is a reasonable and common thing to want to do at build time.

No, it wouldn't. Technically you could have it adapt within a narrow range of speeds, but it would be annoying, fuel-wasting, and worse than just dealing with the speed yourself.

I was chanting "electric cars", "electric cars" in my head the whole article and found the end of it very rewarding. :-)

Had a Mazda 3 Astina manual before, lovely car. I'd love a Civic Type R manual but most realistically my next car will be an electric one. Not in the market for one now, cars make you fat compared to other modes of transport, and currently using other modes is viable for me so sticking (sorry!) to that for now.
Making that assessment is a part of the surgeon's job.

Perhaps they realized at some point that many patients are enthusiastic for the procedure before it's done, but most grow to hate it afterwards -- and blame the surgeon for having done the procedure to them.

Any given patient will have had zero prior experience with complex physiological and psychological post-operative outcomes, whereas surgeons do (individually or collectively.) It seems fitting that they should share that, and discourage patients from having procedures if outcomes are mainly bad.
I agree completely. Before I buy anything, I check the manufacturer's website first as I'd rather see 100% of the money go to the company I'm supporting as opposed to Amazon, who I only use now when I need something fast, which is an area of their business I'm willing to support because it's the best in terms of fast delivery.
I used to prefer manual. It was interesting and gave a feeling of skill. But the thrill is gone because the thrill of driving is gone, thanks to congestion.

Economy seems to be a wash. And quite frankly, I've observed that stick shift cars tend to be driven in "fun" mode, which is probably less economical.

I like... automation. I'm waiting eagerly for a self driving car. Meanwhile, my next car will probably be electric.

While my family still has one stick-shift car, my kids will learn to drive it. My daughter already has, and my son will, after he figures out how to drive the automatic car safely.
In Germany one reason might be that basically everyone learns to drive with the stick so it's the normal. To get a drivers license it's mandatory to go to a driving school and drive quite a lot of hours under supervision of an instructor usually using a car belonging to the school. While it's theoretically possible to use an automatic car nobody does that because you then are not allowed to drive a manual one afterwards.
Well done for reading only the first few words of the post you replied to. They were talking about the financial impact to those who work on an hourly wage.
Also depends on look you are going for. And it is better to match your look with your personality.

Personally, when first I started making real money, I bought a lot GQ style clothing. But my personality was not as smooth. Maybe other people noticed, maybe not but I felt conflicted internally. Perhaps if I wore GQ style clothing longer, I would have gotten used to it.

The book that helped me most with my style/clothing was "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." The basic idea was to get rid of everything that doesn't make you feel great. This led me to try all my clothes and get rid of all my clothes that didn't make me feel great.

Now I am not fashionable guy but feel I wear clothes that line up with my personality better. Mostly, outdoorsy/sporty style.
Related news: Americans spend considerably more time in traffic as well. (Here's a comparsion from 82 - 92 - 02: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/congestion_report/executive_summary...)

I'm not sure there's a significant market for cars in the US where traffic isn't a factor or hasn't grown significantly in the last generation.

Given that automatics are much nicer to drive in traffic, I sense that is a huge reason why there's just not much of a market for manuals. Unless the manual was going to be massively cheaper (and it's not), I can't think of a large group of people who would desire manual transmissions.
They may be, but probably not enough so to offset what having a manual transmission does to the resale value of your car in the USA.

I'd be willing to go with a manual on a used car that I am paying cash for, but, if you buy a new manual and need to finance it, you'll likely be upside down on your loan for an uncomfortably long time.
I think that's a tough question. Here's how I justify it to myself, and I think most people share these values. You can tell they share them because they don't want to die or suffer.

If you grant that conscious existence has value, then the continued existence of the human race is worthwhile.

If you grant that life has value, then preventing the destruction of eath's environment is worthwhile.

If you don't value those things, it's difficult to make a compelling argument. However, I would argue that consciousness matters because it's the only thing that can create "meaning" to existence. And life matters because it's the only thing (we know of) that produces consciousness.
The thing is that LTE-M allows you to have real IP connectivity in contrast to other true LPWAN technologies built on datagrams that are sufficiently small that any real cryptography is non-trivial challenge and can be transmited once each minute/hour/day. If there is any unserviced niche it is in duplex bursts of realtime traffic (ie. what you usually get for satellite telematics, but for IoT it has to be few orders of magnitude cheaper)
Not really. 5G won't replace 4G. 5G just requires to many cell towers to make sense outside of high-traffic areas like hospitals, airports and stadiums. 4G will still be what's used in outside environments. That's how it's been explained to me, anyway.
Orwell was writing about an authoritarian socialist society devolving into fascism.

Huxley is less clear, but on the whole it looks much closer to a capitalist society.

So one could argue that they represent different future paths - mutually exclusive, but which one is more likely than the other depends on where the wind blows at any given moment. Orwell had the advantage of seeing what Stalinist ideology is like first hand, as a member of POUM in Spain, so that's where his focus was. We live in a world that's dominated by capitalist countries, so Huxley's vision seems more likely to us. But it can all change.
In my view, the government wasn't trying to provide for students by guaranteeing their loans, they were providing for the banks by making those debts unforgivable.

The outcome is the desired one: banks own hundreds of billions of dollars more debt than they used to.
Another solution would be to let students discharge their debit via bankruptcy. Surely you wouldn't want that terrible government distortion to the free market remain in place?

This system is also near perfect as lenders would evaluate their risk and have incentives in the person being successful. This works very well, as we saw from how mortgage lenders and credit rating agencies worked 10 years ago.

>let the free market work.

Education (and healthcare for that matter) are NOT free markets. Free markets don't guarantee every buyer gets matched to a seller, in which case that buyer does without. Which is not acceptable for education or healthcare.

Maybe that's fine in some circles but a modern wealthy superpower should be able to do better than throw some percentage of its own citizens in the trash because they can't afford education.

Also, way back when college was "affordable", states actually funded higher education through taxes.
That's what I was thinking of when I wrote out buro.

The pattern of "stay silent and look dubious to make the candidate feel dumb" is a really common interview hazing strategy in my experience.

How is this distinguishable from the interviewer hearing something from the candidate where an understandable reaction is to stay silent and look dubious? I've had candidates try to tell me something like: a null pointer member of a struct in C++ takes up no data. The first part of what you described was my natural reaction, not a hazing strategy. (I then went on to ask if they were sure about that.)
To each their own, but stop and go traffic does not exist in the absence of stoplights if you leave adequate space in front of you.

Thanks for the correction. Is there not some kind of government guarantee underlying the massive student loans the press runs stories about? I thought that student debt was in a special class, where it could not be easily discharged (and was backed by government guarantees).
