LMI ran out of steam in 86/87. The end of LMI was really strange.

TI modernized a lot of stuff of LMI (hardware and software). But TI management radically pulled the plug when the government funding for the various projects went away. DARPA financed their 32bit Lisp microprocessor - but there was no one to fund the next round and TI not even published an emulator or published the source code under some license. It just went away... there is an archive with code from them - but who would touch it without a license?
Seriously. Are we really at the point where "I don't like Al Gore, therefore climate change is a hoax" is something we're supposed to rebut?
This is why I always wanted the boot to gecko (B2G), also called firefox os, to succeed. It was different and also open source. The concept was also good. But too bad they only released on very low cost, low feature phone like Spice. It was a shit phone with good os.

I don’t know about e foundation, but what I came to know from their mobile phone os page is that they are providing a os with data privacy as main feature. Why cannot they reuse firefox os?
Yes, we could be in for a lot of pain if inflation and interest rates rise over the coming years.
Thank you. I have to admit though this is my 5th product this year, I'm on a roll, so I do accept criticism - indeed though I felt that the parent comment was just plain wrong in this case.
The solution looks good. But the remaining problem is density. The higher the density the easier is to provide services for the population. New York, Tokyo, Paris, etc, have several store tall buildings with people living in apartments.
For what I see these new cities are more similar to Los Angeles or Mexico City than anything else. Single-family homes spread all over the place without access to trains or subways.

I have lived all my life in apartments. So, for me, it feels normal and it is very practical. I guess that if you are used to single-family homes that is a difficult step to make.
Suicide by the elderly is one of the big reasons why South Korea has a high suicide rate.

Sadly, I heard it might be because the old do not want to be a further stress on families in poverty. So maybe it is due to their high cohesion, very collective culture.

I’ve experienced a hell of a lot more community in the give and take of rides across suburbia than on transit, where 95% of interactions are someone asking for money.
It is hard to quantify, but how migrant culture differs from native culture also matters. A lot of immigrants from turkey is still not fully integrated into german culture. How openminded immigrating people are plays a role, and that is alsp cultural. I personally see it as a duty to adopt to us culture, and i was ok with it when i came to us 8 years ago.
Those that aren't born into wealth - controlled by rents or controlled by debts. Those with capital - can control others by rents or control others by credit. What great options.
Quack here. I've been saying this, and backing it with scientific support, since at least 2003 and being dismissed. Got my mom to reduce her insulin by cutting out all the carbs (took several years), now she thanks me. I think we should be more open to more "outlandish" claims from people. There are some serious problems with modern medicine. SSRIs being out performed by pasebo or just turmeric, Potassium Bromide in bread causing cancer, Blood Thinners actually causing heart attacks, Titanium Dioxide, aluminum sulfate causing breast cancer and "race for the cure" not spending any money on actual research, no real antibiotic resistance with first responding antibiotics (simple amox, doxy, penn ) and reducing their use causes more harm, the need to ban glysophophate and do multi-generation claw back damages lawsuit. Anyway just thought I chime in. All of these are backed by research.

I will absolutely believe that diet and obesity are not the only causes of Type II diabetes. And no, not all obese people are diabetic. But it is a primary factor in many cases. And if people who are obese would change their diet and lose weight, the rate of diabetes would likely plummet. I don't think anybody is suggesting that changing diet and reducing obesity is the only answer, but rather that it would make a huge difference.

I remember as a kid our family doctor straight up telling my parents that they were too fat and they needed to exercise and lose weight. I assume doctors still do this, as it's good health advice, but with "fat shaming" being a thing now, I'm sure that some are more hesitant.

It’s about how and when they get used. Eg if you’re running on a lower performing mount then you might want to rely on caches more than frequent rescans. What I would often do on performance critical routines running against network mounts was store a tree of inodes and time stamps and only rescan a directory if the parents time stamp changed. It meant I’d miss any subsequent metadata changes to individual files (mtime, size, etc) but I would capture any new files being created. Which is the main thing I cared about so that was the trade off I was willing to make.

There’s no right or wrong answer here though. Just different designs for different problems. Which was also the point the other developer was making when he was talking about his memory usage.
"Says you" works in both directions.

Apple at least has that case whith FBI, anti-proprietary activists have just their doubts. Would be interesting to read some story about traffic analysis with some suspicious activities, but all I see is just compilation of doubts and talks about what is possible.

> Type-II diabetes isn't caused just from being fat anyone can develop it.

60-80% of diabetes type II cases among westerners are assumed to be a consequence of obesity and related medical conditions.

It is correct that you don't have to be obese to get type-II, but being obese makes it much more likely.
I think my phone is not just about apps, but also services, tightly integrated with those apps, like chrome's browser history, password manager, Google docs synchronisation etc.

Perhaps the only reason why I cannot shift to other apps is due to the serious is the lack of cohesion across all platforms. Google has It's paws on every device, every platform. Which is a huge selling point.

Half my work is handled by this single Google account. I haven't seen any product lineup that lets me have this kind of one-ness across my devices.

I think that we long for genuinely human interaction. The absence of that makes us lonely. But tech-mediated interactions reduce the amount of human interaction. (Having this conversation on HN isn't the same as us having the same conversation at a bar, even if we say the same things.) We get more interaction via tech (across the world, not just in the same room), but much of the human touch gets lost.

But I think the problem is bigger than that. Our philosophy has dehumanized us. It's basically a question of who we think we are.

As a society, we no longer believe in God. We believe in the physical universe - in matter and the laws of physics. That means that all we can be is matter that obeys the laws of physics. That's all we can be, because there is nothing else.

In particular, we can't have any free will or any ability to make a real choice. Matter that obeys the laws of physics doesn't choose anything - it just obeys the laws of physics. We're just machines made of atoms obeying the laws of quantm electrodynamics, which make up biochemicals obeying the laws of biochemistry, which make up neurons obeying the laws of neurology - and nothing more.

We can't love in the real sense of the word - choosing what's best for the one we love - because we can't choose anything. Even the lesser flavors of love are just a matter of biochemicals and neurons just doing their thing.

There's no real beauty in any objective sense - there's just certain things happen to hit our neurons in a certain way.

For that matter, there's no truth, either, and not just in the postmodern sense. If our brains were built by evolution, they were built to give a good enough answer fast enough. They were not built to find actual truth, even were such a thing to exist.

So in this view, free will, love, beauty, and truth - everything we thought of as making us human - are dead. We're just machines, just like the computers on our desks. As more and more people believe this (and start to act like it), it becomes more and more rare to be treated in a genuinely human way. The result is that we are lonely.
Not only this but there have been other problems caused by making social housing just for the needy rather than ordinary working people. You end up with a concentration of poverty that is hard to escape from, people with no role models and hence gangs and violence.

A whole lot of factors are better now than they've ever been, and that's genuinely wonderful and cause for optimism.

It's naive to therefore ignore all other factors. The great strides we're making in access to food and clean water and medical care won't stop unchecked global warming from devastating human civilization. It's not just a matter of rising sea levels; if things continue apace, large parts of the equator will be too hot for humans to survive by the end of this century, and hundreds of millions of climate refugees will be seeking sanctuary somewhere, anywhere.

Acknowledge our successes and keep fighting.

I've noticed that hn on almost every topic is now hypercritical to the point of being satire - people outside of this thread (community?) gush non-stop about how charming and genial Terry Gross.

here's something for the "cave dwellers" to ponder: do you think maybe the tone and body language with which you say something like "tell me about yourself" mediates the effect?
Doing what the rightwing populists shout about won't solve the issue. Curbing the rightwing press, be it the Daily Mail and Sun which both run vicious campaigns full of lies on a regular basis, the German Bild Zeitung or the Austrian Krone and Österreich, or in my region the unbearable Wochenblick. Their readers take those lies for facts, but they aren't. We need proper media education, hold the media to accounts when they spread lies. We also need checks in place on how the government is advertising in those newspapers. Austria's new rightwing government is especially corrupt (in want for a better word) in this detail.
this is just a collection of basic facts and definitions with bad language. for example, inner product space is the correct nomenclature. euclidean space refers to an inner product space with the euclidean norm, i.e., the dot product. euclidean space should not be used to refer to a general inner product space.
Every passing year makes me yearn more for the missed possibilities of the Firefox OS for the phone. It was visionary of Mozilla folks to anticipate the need for it — I wonder whether the project might have been mismanaged due to unrealistic expectations (expecting too much too soon).

I read an article where they did a supply/demand analysis of tuitions, and found that tuitions might simply be responding to demand. Obviously, there are a lot of factors to consider. But they looked at broader economics for demand (jobs, unemployment) and existing college sizes (instructor and class volume) and found that pricing were correlated with supply/demand changes, with loans playing only a minor role in education costs.
It wasn't definitive, but now I view the "loans raise tuitions" crowd as holding an overly simplistic ideological position.
Can you share what are those options please? and can I tweak them to show myself to recruiters from certain cities?
I still have some hope for something like seasteading to do this in the next 10-20 years (before Mars/Luna are viable options). In the interim I'm trying something vaguely like it in PR.
I worked with a blind software engineer for quite some time. He's tweeted a little bit about it in the past[1], he's also one of my favourite people I've worked with, he's incredibly kind and I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you reached out. Wishing you well.

You are describing a world without insurance: where each incident bears its full results on the bearer. This is the situation with almost anything you do everyday: from eating to crossing the street, to wearing helmets on electric scooters.

Insurance as a product is a way to manage that risk, but it doesnt eliminate it, and as a product it makes the total cost higher, as you need to pay to manage the risk. Insurance itself always bears the risk of adverse selections: it attracts those that will have higher tendencies to abuse the insurance.

That is the nature of insurance, what it solves and why it requires human effort to manage, it can't be automated away: it is an economic solution.

Another problem would be: some people have very expensive medical treatment and we should not as a society let them die or suffer death from it. But that problem is not soluble through insurance, that is soluble through charity and charity alone. Using insurance as a mechanism of charity is using a hammer on a screw.

>why doesn't the real world make you hard enough for real world without killing you

Obviously because the army does that in a controlled environment, where the expectations are already set for what you'll get (you're going there knowing it will be so and so -- and even at that there's army suicides, through much more rare considering the kind of stressor it is).

Whereas overprotected people can go into the adult world thinking they will crush it and be rich, famous, free of drudgery, have the perfect love life, marriage, or whatever just for showing up (or just for "working hard").

You also do that along with others around your age, and you all go through the exact same shit, and are at it together 24/7.

In short, the army emphasizes that you're not a precious snowflake from day one, you're just one of many in the camp, so you have time to soak this message in. Whereas in your "real life", failure will hit you hard, and it will feel like it's a personal failure.

And, last but not least, you also know it's gonna end in 1 year or so, and everything's compartmentalized. It's not your life. Whereas a failure to get that dream job and having to scrap by can feel like your life (in toto) being a failure.

>These "overprotecting parents" are still around in the real world (or not), so what's the difference?

The role of the "overprotecting parents" ends both when you enter the camp or the adult world. They can't fix things for you in either case (e.g. fix your broken job dreams or love life).

Exactly. After reading the whole Dune trilogy, my first thought was: wow, what an experience.

My second thought was: whoever makes a series of films of this, and stays faithful to the books, they will surely make billions of dollars.
That's a strange argument. If there are few suppliers in the market, and inelastic demand, they should be able to pretty much set their own price, at least enough to be profitable. The only way that prices trend to zero profit are in commodity markets with a lot of competitors.
> The reason your city is so bad is in large epart because the families move away to suburbs. In the burbs, you still get disturbances like constant lawnmowers and leaf blowers, at least in lawn-crazy USA.

In the USA a lot of neighborly socialization is associated with yard work. The lawnmower is a signal your neighbor is out, and the polite thing to do is to chat when you run into each other. That's how I got to know my neighbors. If you weren't aware, you do shut off the machines when you talk.

The level of contempt you show for lawn work makes me thing you have little experience with it or some idiosyncrasies that cause you to hate it in an atypical way.

I've noticed this annecdotally when trying to buy a home on separate occasions in the New York and LA metro areas. I'm not sure it's foreign capital, but the majority of winning bids were all cash offers above the asking price.

I'd love to see a retrospective analysis on Vancouver's protective measures to see if they did actually help, or if buyers found loopholes, or it wasn't Chinese buyers to begin with.

idk why this is downvoted. the 90s is the period between the end of the cold war and the start of the war on terror. its the only time in living memory where there was no enemy.

9/11 absolutely changed the country. it was the start of militarized police, nationalistic displays, and 24/7 fear that have all been normalized today. Perhaps the terrorists didn't win (Bin Laden is dead and the house of Saud still stands) but we certainly lost.

Sounds fair. I don't like judging people by their physique and identity indeed, and I think most people would agree with me on this. Taking this into account, your point makes sense - why focus on showing different people based on their identities entirely?

There's a couple reasons as to why I believe that it makes sense in the platform. To begin with, the concept that started off this project 6 months ago was simply to make women more present in people's following lists. This was an entirely identity based project from that point, attempting to increase & amplify the voices of a particular group. Needless to say, with a concept set up & validated, I kept going in the same direction.

Secondly, while some of the filters of the platform are identity-based (ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ...) I also implemented multiple based on their background (low-income, migrants, language...) as well as based on their interests. I plan on expanding this group further, as I find it extremely valuable to better diversify our feeds. There is much more other than whether someone is a man or a woman, a person of colour, or a person with disabilities.

There is a third reason, one which I might not be too fond of, but thing is, in order to achieve diversity, people tend to prefer going about it through people, faces, and real identities. As a rather "private" and ambiguous person online, I've noticed how hard it has been for me to have recognition or validity, since all in all people can just judge me by my work and ideas. Had I gone this path with the platform, it would have likely failed, and I could have not contributed to solving this issue.

All in all, your idea is good in an ethical perspective, but when it comes to its implementation, it's absolutely useless, unless you change people's mindsets (very hard, specially because you also have to change some people's mindsets in terms of diversity already...). Then again I will see if I can implement something like this in the future, I think I might be able to figure something out. Thanks for your insight!
It's a bit unfortunate, but - the original 'synthetic marijuana' that was sold here in Britain a few years back called 'Spice' (that in turn gave its name as a broad catch-all for all subsequent types of much-worse synthetics) - based its name from the magical stuff in Dune.

And yes, the movie was excellent, I thought :)
