> You pay for all that.

Right, exactly. Paying $5000 more in taxes to get $5000 more in benefits is net of zero.

It's really even worse than that, because when you say you make $60,000 in the US vs. $40,000 in Europe, the $60,000 doesn't include employee benefits like employer-provided health insurance, whereas the $40,000 doesn't include the taxes you have to pay for the equivalent government services.

> I think its reasonable though if you want a hyper-expensive cancer treatment or surgery, you have to pay for that as part of private health insurance.

But that's the only part you would actually need social assistance for. In any kind of non-corrupt healthcare system, the actual cost of going to the doctor and coming home with a bottle of allergy medicine shouldn't be beyond the ability of anyone at the 10th percentile income to afford.

That's really the advantage Europe has. It's not the government services, it's that US institutions are corrupt and so prices are higher. Regulatory capture and overhead makes the market for routine medicine uncompetitive and therefore unaffordable.

And it's the same across the board -- look at housing costs in Germany vs. California. Europe's cost advantage isn't that their government is especially good, it's that governments in the US are especially bad.
I reread and it didn’t make any difference. MacOS may have 1/10 the Windows base but that is not having “very low userbase”, while I think it is quite reasonable to say that about Haiku. Reread what I said, the MacOS base is large and it is a general base of highly technical and non-technical users alike that are not all hobbyists. This does not describe Haiku in the slightest.

There is a valid point to be made about verifying usability and the need for a large and diverse userbase.

How much you want to bet that the Haiku userbase is overwhelmingly male? And this is not to make some concerned sexism argument but to illustrate that the community is more representative of the IT crowd rather than the general population.
HN doesn't mind revisiting topics from time to time. It's been a couple of years and HN has grown enormously since then.

This is not about running Linux distros on your phone.

This is about your phone doubling up as a Linux PC and being able to use your phone as a PC seamlessly when required by simply connecting it to a monitor. This can be super useful for a lot of users.

Current 8 core SOCs with 4 to 8 GB RAM should be more than usable and its great Samsung has been trying to make this happen. And there is nothing 'crappy' about Ubuntu 16.04 especially given all distros are the same underneath. Why this name calling against Ubuntu?

I bought used textbooks from them years ago on Ebay (this was right as Amazon was getting popular/starting to dominate the market of online textbook sales) and I was rather satisfied.

That's correct. It does not prove that humans have this capability. It just shows that a common counter argument fails, and then the article goes on to explain how it would make an empirical difference if humans are partial halting oracles.

If you hold the transceiver in front of your head while speaking (as you naturally would), that already gives you 2-3 miles of radio horizon, depending on your height. If the person you're talking to does the same, that range doubles. Of course, that's on flat ground, without hills etc getting in the way... but still, you're usually looking at a mile or two of range, at least.

And, of course, beyond that, you'd just use repeaters anyway. There's no shortage of VHF and UHF repeaters, and because they take care of antenna height on their side, it's not uncommon to hit one 10-15 miles away with a handheld.
That's true e.g. in Paris.

I have seen it getting used in many places and it's understood as order of. O(n) means at worst case number of steps needed to complete an algorithm would be c.n + a. So it is completely valid use since O(1000) would mean it can be c.1000 + a, which actually means order of 1000s.

'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates
I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of "streaming aggregators" that bundle together Netflix/Hulu/Disney+/etc. subscriptions into a single thing so you don't have to manage several individual subscriptions. I'm sure that exists already, actually.

Thus completing the cycle back to whence we came (from cable subscriptions), but on the internet instead of television.
In informal contexts it's also used as a fudge/handwave, purely as a questionable analogy that nobody is expected to take too seriously. `theptip` almost certainly knows that O(1000)=O(1), they were just being playful.

I think in the long run, it would Netflix vs Amazon Prime. The prime channels is a very unique way to keep users in a single app and access the content from other networks.

I synced my HBO to Prime, so I don't have to switch apps. They already have content from Showtime, HBO, Starz, if they could get disney on board. You will basically end up using Netflix vs Prime apps.(or Hulu).

Tesla has been upfront about saying they are still looking at next year for the 35k version. At now point, will they (or have they) told anyone that they won't get the car unless you buy the mid-range or the long range versions. I was a day one reservation holder, and have never received such a message.

And also, you can't pre-order it - you can put the same deposit down, if you want, as everyone else - that's 1k, and can apply that to a LR/MR and in the future SR.

Also worth noting, the MR and the LR have different inverters, with the MR sharing the same inverter as the SR.

> When you considering the very low fertility rates of Europe, I would consider this whole system to be unsustainable.

Low fertility rates are a feature and not a bug, and in these times they are actually a very desired feature [0].

The only way one could consider that "unsustainable" is to assume there's literally zero immigration, with a globally stagnating or shrinking population. But all of these are objectively false. On a global scale, humanity is a far cry from dying out due to infertility, quite the opposite. So let's not pretend that low fertility rates are a bad thing, okay?

Kudos to the team to launch this new version, it looks really slick and my previous experience with Now was pure joy, it was really easy to get up and running. My only question with this approach is what is the suggested way to work locally? For example, the `Majestic Monorepo` sample is quite hard to run locally without Docker or a similar containerization technology, what is Now's approach to this? Would we be able to work offline with a project like this for example?

I mean, they are supply constrained at the current price point. Even if they could hit the $35k price point, why do so when it just means taking in less money?

Judging by Elon's tweets, they do expect to be able to produce cars for that price in the near future. Whether or not they will sell them near the cost of production probably just depends on demand vs supply.

So marketing to law enforcement is unethical? What about all the database vendors that sell to law enforcement -- Oracle, Microsoft, or Postgres? Can't you see the nuances in that?

Law enforcement is the tool designed by the society to maintain the law. That inevitably lead to conflict with civil rights and abuse of power. A healthy democracy needs to protect human rights while giving the law enforcement the tools they need to effectively do their job. Constitution, legal framework, and freedom of expression are essential.
Given that IP is a scarce resource, why aren't we taxing those large IP blocks similar to property taxes on land? If holding an /8 came with a hefty tax bill attached, it would 1) encourage companies that got them for historical reasons and don't have much practical use for them to sell them to those who actually need a lot of IPs, and 2) encourage IPv6 MIGRATION.
The fact that other things also boost morale does not invalidate the point that having a drink in the workplace boosts morale. And nobody has even implied that workplace alcohol is the _only_ thing that keeps morale acceptable.
UBports is pretty close: https://ubports.com/

It uses libhybris, so they're limited to the original kernel or something close to it because of proprietary drivers. But it's a community project since Canonical stopped Ubuntu Touch development, and it's had a desktop mode like this for years!

The PostmarketOS project is similar, with an explicit goal of mainline support where possible: https://postmarketos.org/

But yes, I would be much happier if devices had support in the mainline kernel and could run any distro you wanted right out of the box. (And some devices just straight up lock you out - I try to avoid those whenever possible.)
I am not sure it balances out, but for that increased tax rate Sweden does have some really nice incentives to have kids, including 3 months of mandatory paid paternal AND maternal parental leave, for 6 months total (with the additional option of taking a full year at a reduced rate, something like 50%). Does Germany also have similar incentives? Some cursory googling says not as good. It kind of sucks in Sweden to not be able to take advantage of that if you aren't planning to have kids though.

I also don't think besides what I have mentioned above that you factor in the tax breaks that Swedes get for having kids. It's probably not as much as the 20% number you are quoting for germany but a dual-income household (Nordic countries and Denmark and Sweden in particular really favor both parents working in taxes for some reason) with kids probably does not approach the 70% number you quoted, even in the upper echelon (and to hit that 70% number you really do have to make upwards of $100k equivalent in Sweden, which is quite a high salary by Swedish standards).

To put it into perspective, at a good paying software dev company the junior devs make between $35-50k equivalent, and the most senior 10-year-or-more experience devs in Sweden are making about $90-100k equivalent.

Even though stuff in Sweden is expensive, the social net is pretty strong, so plenty of people can easily survive on $40-50k before taxes because of the free education, healthcare, etc. mentioned before.

> The only way one could consider that "unsustainable" is to assume there's literally zero immigration, with a globally stagnating or shrinking population.

The world-wide net immigration is inherently zero. If what we're looking for is approximately the population replacement rate globally, what sense does it make to have something different nationally? Doing so creates all sorts of problems for the population source countries in terms of brain drain and so on (they pay to educate someone for decades and then anyone above the 90th percentile moves out), and for the destination country in terms of preserving the local culture and history as long-term net immigration results in the culture of the donor population subsuming the existing one.

> There is a valid point to be made about verifying usability and the need for a large and diverse userbase.

OK, that is indeed a valid point, but not one I got from the first comments.

I think Haiku has a diverse enough following that we are past most of these concerns, and a lot of our major paradigms which differ from other OSes were validated in the BeOS days. There are some areas where we still have work to do -- e.g. interfaces for the blind -- but overall we are doing quite well.

> How much you want to bet that the Haiku userbase is overwhelmingly male? And this is not to make some concerned sexism argument but to illustrate that the community is more representative of the IT crowd rather than the general population.

Oh, I know it's true of Haiku, but I practically can guarantee the same is true of Linux/BSD/etc. So then, can only "mainstream" operating systems have anything to say here?

To be quite blunt, what I'm saying is that you don't have enough context to have an informed opinion on the relationship between dependent types and the distinction between types and values. It's pretty clear you don't have a clear idea of what a dependent type system actually is. People who study type theory and logic are pretty much on the same page about this.
