Just because a removal of freedom seems to be beneficial doesn’t make this any less of a human rights abuse. The right to free expression is inherent in all people, and it is unconscionable that the Chinese government censors expression in this way.
I'd very much appreciate them making AirPlay an open protocol, enabling any app to freely stream to AirPlay 2 hardware. Are they really benefiting that much from the licensing deals vs the ecosystem it could spawn? They'd still be producing most of the AurPlay receiver hardware people'd buy, just not the transmitting end.
My thought too. :) Another use (which is perhaps not as far-fetched) is to train a neural network on the collection to detect connected punches. Then we could fire all shitty, corrupt boxing judges and rely on tech instead.
This also makes it incredibly easy for Apple to secretly pocket a larger percentage of the profit.
As far as I am aware AirPlay 2 is only licenseable for the receiver end of the protocol, not the transmitter part.
Ok, I was looking at the medium size. At larger resolution the photo is more interesting that it seems. Four different threes and something more. They should examine it more carefully.

The big trunk in the background is from the same Fabaceae also. Senna could show a similar bark and leaves. Senna siamea from Thailand for example looks similar. There is a sapling of something that looks like a Psidium also and maybe a Schefflera. All tentatively.
Cops also make money similar to firefighters. Yet in Atherton (close to Palo Alto), the cops turned part of their station in to sleeping quarters. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be on the wrong side of a gun from a cop who is sleep deprived and probably overworked.
They all want to own a rental too, since it only costs a down payment to possess the property iff somebody else pays the bank.

But it's more than NIMBYS. There's foreign capital holding land and property, dog-eat-world construction developers operating nationally and globally, and infestations of anonymous YUPPIES who are basically living in w/e city like it's an extended career commute, and have no incentive to gaf about local problems, but want their sensibilities and stuff to be safe and protected by police—it's these people's tax dollars city politicians clamor about needing to attract in order to fix local problems and ofc pay expensively to police.
What people consider "demonstrated" depends greatly on how they feel about a thing. We're asking users to err on the side of assuming good faith. That's not easy, so if you're not making a strong conscious effort to do it, you're probably not following the guidelines. (I mean anybody, of course—not you personally.)
I could definitely see something like this happening in European countries under health concerns.
Ask HN: Seeking an account of a self-professed philosophical zombie
I've been struggling to find a particular article that I remember reading several years ago on HN. Its subject was a man who claimed to have lost his inner life after either witnessing or inadvertently causing another person's death.

If my memory serves, the subject was a priest or minister living in the 19th century. There were no outward signs of his reported affliction and he was capable of communication (i.e. he was not in a coma or otherwise visibly impaired). I believe the subject even remarked upon the apparent paradox of being able to report the absence of an inner life.

I'd be grateful if any of you can help me find it. All of my search engine queries were fruitless.
The thing that you and also Kate miss is that things like "classist", "ugly" and "aesthetic" are simply terms which define nothing objective and which reside in your head alone. You see a building and call it "classist", allowing the capitalist pigs to get your knickers in a twist once more. I see the same building, either call it "aesthetic" or "non-aesthetic" and move on.
My daily, and only, wristwatch I wear is a stainless steel Seiko "5" self winding mechanical with a steel wristband.

My parents bought me for my 16th birthday in 1983. I think it cost around GBP100.00 back then. These days the thing runs fast and slow sometimes by up to 20 mins over a week but I do have a rough idea what time it is (once a week I reset to actual time). For me that's fine, 99% of things in my life are not that time critical.

With the exception of a replacement face glass (circa 1986, my Dad's fault :) ) and a replacement spring pin for the wristband clasp doodah, it's all original and has never been opened.

If I do need to check the "real time", say for attending a meeting (not often), I just have a quick look at my phone or computer.

The reason I keep wearing this inferior timekeeping piece is because I like it, like the simple design and enjoy it for sentimental reasons. For all my waking hours it's been through motorbike crashes, getting lost on a mountain, it went to one of my parent's funerals, signed my marriage certificate and then signed my divorce papers :) and much much more. It's more than just a less "superior" timepiece.

I doubt a "superior" timekeeping piece by Apple or some such other technology company would last as long, acquire the patina my Seiko has and the patina of my life in terms of memories and experiences (this thing is now older than half my life now).
I'm sure most Americans have "savings" in the form of "maybe I can beg and plead for a credit limit increase if something really bad happens".

There is a world where we find that certain game mechanics trigger the same reactions in our brains as gambling, in which case limiting/regulating game time is not a bad thing.

It’s walled because of patent litigation with VirnetX, not because Apple wanted to keep it walled.
This is simply not true. I work for a top 3 major ad exchange, and there's only so much validation that can happen when you process 10s of millions of requests per second that have to leave your system in 40ms.
The article would have been more compelling if he showed at least one example where floating point errors blew up to the point where one would care.
I've noticed that a lot of the animus that the more-fortunate of us humans have against the less-fortunate is based in a very deeply-hidden, but very present understanding that it could have easily been you. Like, you have to distance yourself from unfortunate circumstances, lest you become victim to them.

This is just a denial of the reality that no one is really given a choice about the circumstances of their lives. That goes for abilities and outcomes. It should be self-evident, that all men are created equal - not in ability or outcome, but in the fact that no one has a choice in the hand they are dealt.

The less-fortunate you are, the more grievances you have - legitimate grievances. My original post wasn't meant to de-legitimize anyone's founded grievances. I'm just starting to see this in these types of discussions, both online and irl, that the more we rail against members of difference classes, the more rigid those class structures become. Of course this is a slippery slope to telling people to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. That's not what I mean either.

edit: I got a little (ok, a lot) carried away with the language, and it definitely detracted from my point, and added nothing to the conversation.
Seems like exactly the type of trove that the Smithsonian Institution would be interested in: "Termed 'the nation's attic' for its eclectic holdings of 154 million items, the Institution's nineteen museums, nine research centers, and zoo include historical and architectural landmarks,"

> Are you suggesting that the simple fact that one has more money than you is sufficient to justify animus?

Not if the difference is trivial, but absolutely when it is as enormous and as unmotivated as it often is. Why would it be strange that obviously unfair inequality would be a source of animus?

Restrictive zoning is the prohibition of creating housing capital, so it’s ironic and incorrect to blame capitalism for the housing shortages in restrictive metros such as the Bay Area. Landlordism or rentierism might be better words for the capital repression.
The click reasons, ideological reasons, and hate/fear reasons (of Trump as an interloper in the political class) fused into an alloy. It's impossible to separate these.
They aren’t limiting game time. They are censoring publishers from publishing their game as written.

It is absolutely a bad thing, even if you think the end result is a benefit - that was my point.

Separately, the laws against gambling are similarly infringing upon basic human rights to free association and free communication/expression.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) we seem to normalize violating the rights of minors.
Laughably untrue. You can be ugly as sin as long as you are pleasant to be around and good at your job, you’ll still land the tips.
> rental properties must provide a positive return on capital

To new investors.

GP's point is that the causality is from rent to sale price. In any year any owner (or agent) more or less tries to charge the rent they can get. If this declines, there's nothing an individual owner can do about it. Badly wanting more doesn't open up any new channels to charge more rent (and may even lead you to play your hand sub-optimally).

But a prospective new owner certainly looks at the return, and won't bother to invest if T-bills would pay as well, and hence the sale price will adjust. (And of course buyers may pay for things other than rent, like a belief that prices will rise.)

Whatever point you were trying to make could perfectly well have been made without "some graduate student bourgeoisie cunt".

Seriously, what does that add here? It was already perfectly unambiguous you find her and her perspective abhorrent. Such hateful vulgarity actually detracts from your argument, IMO; you come across as rageful, not rational.

Why do you insist mathematicians become programmers? They have different skills, have different ways of thinking, and solve different problems. As an analogy, plenty of famous musicians were obviously very musically talented but didn’t know how to read or write musical notation. Proofs are just a medium to convey mathematical ideas to other mathematicians. I bet if Erdos were required to publish his ideas in a theorem prover language his mathematical output would have at least halved.
The rights that were violated were those of the publisher, by government censorship. They have the right to free expression, and Chinese officials will imprison them by force if they use it.
Oh, I had no problem reading it. The concept is simple. Take some similar existing products/services and create a cart of their attributes. Determine if you can find an easy win by adjusting some of the attributes to get ahead of the market and possibly add new attributes.

Why is wasm faster than javascript? Can't the browser compile javascript to something equivalent?
Yeah, they do. It's shitty. Things like, 'Rich people are just better' and so on. Things I've actually heard come out of people's mouths.

Have also seen people who played too many video games and ten years into their adult lives have absolutely nothing to show for it other than some min wage job say 'fuck the rich'. Equally shitty.

In both cases, a healthy does of get-the-fuck-over-yourself is due.
Yup, I suppose that it's closer to the hundreds-of-millions range for the undergrad curriculum only, in a single system - maybe even a bit less than that. But that then leaves open the question of how to go the rest of the way to the actual research frontier in whatever domains of math you care about, plus the inherent uncertainty as to whether these efforts will in fact be useful, since these systems are in such an early state. You're right though that the way I phrased that was a bit confusing, so thanks!
> The inalienable right to play Fortnite.

All governments restrict certain behaviors: alcohol (dui, public intoication, etc.), drugs(prohibition, prescription only), gambling.

Now, it’s fair to say that doing those, and doing them as much or as long as you like, is an inalienable right-like “expression”-is absolutely a position you can take. But all countries seem to agree that we shouldn’t do certain things, at least not to excess.

Considering what childcare costs, room & board sounds like a heck of a deal. As a parent, it actually doesn't sound like a bad arrangement.
One reason it is bad is that the temperature rise is happening at least two orders of magnitude faster than in the past, so evolution can't keep up.

Another is that maybe a billion people live in areas that would become uninhabitable.
Great writers have a firmly defined opinion, and make it well known through prose. There’s nothing worse than reading some milquetoast overview of an issue in the name of “fairness”. Not all problems have multiple valid points of view. Some things are either right or wrong, and it’s left to critics to pick a side.
Business models change. Cable was a good business to get into 40 to 50 years ago. But it was a flash, soon to be replaced by the onward March of progress. I don’t stream anything regularly, because I find there are better things to do with my time than to veg out in front of a t.v.

With regards to your dismissal of the old school transportation companies:

The cab company I drove for dominated the market because it was basically reliable. There were problems at surge periods (rush hour and drinking holidays), but for the most part people could order a cab and expect it to arrive. The automated phone system worked fairly well to order a cab to an address your phone number had used previously.

The upstarts fixed the 12-hour shift problem: their drivers can start and stop working whenever they want, whereas most taxi companies used 12/24 hour leases or week-long leases.

The upstarts have not fixed the fact that cars are expensive and depreciate rapidly. Our little team put 100,000 miles a year on the cab we shared...

The upstarts have also not figured out how to make driving pay well for the drivers. In the old days, drivers could buy their own cab and make a little bit more every week, and lease it out to other company drivers for the times they needed to take off.

I think the transportation upstarts are going to run out of money. I’ve heard the old taxi company has reworked their business and is making more money than ever. Fewer employees (maintenance, etc) because now their drivers are using their own vehicles to take their contracted fares around.

When/if they need a fleet again (after the upstarts run out of money) I’m sure they’ll figure something out.
Thanks for thoughtful reply.

But the Kahan method aside, the idea would be to start with the smallest numbers, not the largest.
I think it counts as logically reasoned animus, certainly much more so than animus towards fans of an opposing sports team. Whether it's justified is a question of one's particular moral worldview, but there are coherent ways to justify it, especially if you change it from merely having more money than the opinion-haver to having money past a certain point, usually correlated in some way to one's practical needs. It gets even stronger if you change it to those who keep money for the sake of keeping money or spend it in vain ways instead of putting it to good use, where there are lots of possible definitions of "good."

(I'm not totally sure where my own worldview lies, for what it's worth. Almost certainly the strongest form, and almost certainly not the one you stated. But I think it is defensible that some worldviews believe all of these and they are not the worldviews of people too irrational to be worth understanding.)

And I hope to God I never have to live or work in one of those abhorrent bare steel&glass modernist (postmodernist? whatever the style is called) neighborhoods, yet every major city is turning into one. This style of architecture, which appears to be the only one allowed (certainly the only one being built) deserves far worse than contempt.

Yet it is architects that treat everyone else with contempt, ignoring the clear public preference for traditional architecture: https://www.dezeen.com/2009/10/16/people-prefer-traditionall...

What other cities had a similar population and vibe to SF 40 years ago, but followed the path of rampant housing growth?
> You very much need to find an owner or tenant when you move out. Further, someone needed to pay to find you when you move in

But this is true whether you buy to occupy or rent.

I'm not sure that landlords own homes for significantly longer than buyers.

I've read the criticism of that post ( http://aras-p.info/blog/2018/12/28/Modern-C-Lamentations/ , discussed previously at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18777735 ) but not the original, and now that I did, I have that strange feeling of not knowing whether it was satire or not --- and am unfortunately leaning towards the latter.

I made another comment here on this item, that it feels like a lot of the recent developments in programming languages are more along the lines of showing off how much complexity you can add, rather than solving the real problem itself. It's a "do less with more" mindset, the complete opposite of what I believe in.
Nobody is entitled, but I think in general most people do not want to live in a world where anybody can be elbowed out of their long-time home, especially in retirement, against their will. Moving away from your community, especially in old age can be devastating and even shorten your life. So there's some built-in empathy there (although not always). "That could be me in ten years".
If only Google could solve the issues with natural language parsing in humans.

It seems absolutely ridiculous to assert you're the only one on Earth that can talk with authority about "a correlation between music and watchmaking." You don't need to be a highly successful musician turned master watchmaker to talk intelligently about that. There are surely many other people that know a lot about both music and watchmaking. For example, just me, n size 1, I have a friend who formally studied music and collects high end watches as a hobby and has built his own geared watch. I'm sure he could comment intelligently on this question. Not really understanding the downvotes here.

It didn't seem like he was saying "yeah I guess I do have a really rare perspective", it seemed like he was literally saying "I'm the only one." Maybe he's even the best person in the world to ask, if you could only ask one person. But the only one? Maybe his comment was playful/less literal, but it didn't come off that way to me.
Reminds me of a guy who went to my school. He lives in Williamsburg as an artist. His family is very wealthy. He is always manufacturing crises (mostly health) to get (more) cash. Once I went over there to see my friend (his roommate at the time) and he'd dressed up a wound and setup a photo of himself "passed out" in front of his art work. People are so weird.

I guess he's doing the same gig just a bit more fortunate about his circumstances.
Taibbi has mellowed, alas, but at least he can still do this:

Try longer. Don't read a book with the assumption that you will derive value from it in the amount of time it takes to simply read all of the words start to finish. You will need to try examples, re-read sections, skip around, ask questions of others, find other sources, etc.

Sometimes it would be nice if life was more like an RPG - reading a book means a few hours ticks by and then you get +1 to your skill of choice - but unfortunately it's not that easy :)
> Plenty of underprivileged people in the world would literally kill for the chance to live in a mcmansion. I wouldn't, but that's me. I won't begrudge someone who does.

So this gets complicated. Plenty of underprivileged people would kill for the change to have a decent and fair shot at life with a reliable roof over their heads, and certainly I wouldn't begrudge them that. But there are also plenty of people who are stably renting a small apartment or own a small one-family house in the suburbs who would also kill for a McMansion, and I think the unfortunate but fair judgment of those people is that, were they rich, they'd behave in the ways we stereotypically dislike the rich for. The fact that they do not because they cannot is not, I think, itself a reason to avoid making that judgment.
There isn't of course, because of what's required:

1) you must destroy people on occasion, make them homeless

2) crime, violence and cleaning up

Most mathematicians would love for a machine to check their proofs. The problem, as Buzzard says, is that is much too expensive. Another way to put is, at the moment the math you can do with machine-checkable proofs is a bit boring, compared to math on the cutting edge outside formal methods.
YouTube has definitely become more and more ad-ridden since its inceptions, and the ads are definitely personalized (though badly). There are now videos with multiple ad interruptions, a bit like ye olde TV. I do think one difference here is that on YouTube, if a video is full of ads, I won't keep watching long unless the content is solid and interesting. I, as a watcher, have a choice as to what I watch. Though of course, YouTube could fix that by imposing the same amount of ads on all videos.
> Well, you naturally want to look a woman in the eyes if you are genuinely attracted to her, it's hard to resist.

I'm not sure if you're being serious here. Do you really think there don't exist any shy guys at all anywhere that find it hard to talk to attractive women or look them in the eyes? Seriously?
