I'm feeling more like they want to inject their invasive "telemetry" into Linux too, or at least "normalise the deviance". I see their whole "we're open-source now" (mainly, open-sourcing code they can't really profit from anymore) and "friendly" face as merely trying to divert attention away from their darker side.

It’s a mistake if you believe that the government acts or should act in the interests of its citizens.

If however you think the governments purpose is to further the interests of corporations, then it’s the opposite of a mistake.
Only allow people to own and control what is naturally reasonable.

If a lion kills more than will fit in its belly it shares the rest with the pride.

If there's still more than the Lions can eat, the hyenas eat. Then the vultures. Then the bacteria.

Humans have no such natural limit on their ability to consume. Bank accounts can be infinite. One person can own all the houses.

The logical conclusion of capitalism as we know it is this: One person owns everything.

Things that can't go on forever, don't.
Interestingly, I have it on good authority from someone who works at MS that they are experimenting exactly with that: Windows as a desktop environment running on top of Linux.
I second (third?) that.
Well, you could change how banks fail too.

When a bank fails, the owners would lose their investment. But the assets of the bank, its loans, could be put into a public corporation and shares distributed to the depositors in proportion to their deposit.

Then depositors could sell and get 80 cents on the dollar or whatever. Or the depositors can wait awhile and sell when the markets recover. They might even make more than the interest they were promised.

Such mortgages are fundamentally sound, so for most people the sensible thing is to wait. They can also sell some and keep most to get through their own short term cash flow needs.
If it looked like Windows,shared files with Windows, and ran Windows apps (via emulation or virtualization) that would be a huge deal in keeping companies on MS platforms, even if they're Linux underneath.

> The state of the trade talks were cast into doubt after Trump’s surprise announcement over Twitter on Sunday that he planned to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent because talks were moving too slowly.

It's hard to know what to worry about more: the fact that the President acts unilaterally on trade; the fact that the countries with the two largest GDPs are entering an unprecedented phase of trade war; or the president of United States conducting foreign policy via Twitter.

As a maker, do you code your landing pages from scratch everytime?
Hello everyone, I'm very new in tech and I've seen how speedily the ecosystem is. I've learned how important validating product ideas are and so far, I've seen practical real-life examples of people doing the same.

But I have a question to ask here; Since a whole lot of the time, we need to make landing pages for quick product validations, does it make sense to take days to build a landing page? Or should a person just buy a cheap one or download one for free from places like https://cruip.com/ or https://www.eatapapaya.com/ ?

I'm curious because making a good landing page can take me around 2 full days while downloading one can enable me to start immediately. What would you normally do?

It replaces Wine-like WSL with some virtualization. Apparently performance of WSL didn't cut it comparing to VMs.
I'm a little irked by time zones being divorced from sun times while time zones in some countries become larger and larger. But it turns out that people solve that for themselves: two cities in the same timezone but >1000 km apart east-west have daily activities diverging by about 1-1.5 hour: different schedules for transport, shops opening and closing times, etc.

However, I'm fairly sure the growth of time zones will stop before people aren't able to reference day times with any certainty: ‘4 am’ still means ‘hella early’ worldwide (afaik).
it's a tricky balancing act. i just watched two of his 3-point foul draws in the game tonight (one deserved, the other not so much). a little bit of foul shopping keeps the other team's defense honest, but harden does it so much that it's frustrating. players really shouldn't be rewarded for constantly baiting opponents into fouls.

fractional free throws to nullify the advantage would be odd, and not calling fouls consistently would be even more maddening, so the solution isn't straightforward.

with that said, harden really is fun to watch when he's not just fishing for fouls.
All it takes is one application that's Windows-only and a lot of places are locked in. And maybe it's an app that isn't made anymore, or maybe it's an internal line-of-business app with no ready off-the-shelf replacement.

Good points! Let's give these Bombardier/Airbus planes a chance. Boeing had better get serious about buying the rest of Embraer and promoting their metal.
Looking back on life, I've often been surrounded by a ratio of like 5:1, people doing nothing while I bust my fucking ass. Me being the one, to maybe five other morons, maybe more, maybe less.

There are A LOT of idiotic jobs, A LOT of idiots holding them down, and in many cases it's upper eschelon assholes delegating to puppy dogs, running around in circles, everyone wasting everyone else's time.

Put a default paycheck on the table, enough to cover room and board, and the truly wasteful members of the upper eschelon lose their ability to command minions, and order their wasteful behaviors around on a whim.

I don't think you get what that might mean. Have you ever had a pointy-haired boss. I know you must have. I read your blog.

Go back in time, and imagine getting all those years of working worthless jobs for losers back. Getting your youth back. Using your own judgement to determine what's valuable, and putting your extra effort there.

Maybe, just maybe, it could be just as bad, letting the grunts chose where they fight. But you know what? Maybe not. Because there's still the leverage of permitting people to put their work where they want to see it make a difference, by gatekeeping according to acquired skills.

So we disassemble all the made-for-tv productized infommercial industrial waste, and obviate a lot of dead end media, journalism and advertising, and ostensibly we get real traction in return.

Maybe, maybe not. But my gut tells me I'll spend less time as a servile obsequious worm, more time as someone finding genuine worth in their actions, and so too many others should notice the same effect.
I’m sure Boeing knows of many problems with their aircraft. The question is whether they are a serious threat to life and safety. In this one, they miscalculated.

They can be burned safely in an incinerator. Ad hoc burning can produce very toxic chemicals, though, including dioxins, hydrogen cyanide, vinyl chloride and furans. It could release lead. It depends on the type of plastic (PVC? Polyethylene? Polypropylene?). This is why it’s troubling to see people burning bags of trash and tossing in plastic bags and soda bottles as if they magically disappear.

This is a good rundown: https://www.directplastics.co.uk/about_plastics/post/whats-i...

MIT says...
https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/can-we-sa...

“When plastic is burned, it releases dangerous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, furans and heavy metals, as well as particulate.”
Maybe, but breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the many other tweens and variations are really just different words to describe meals. So let’s axe the distinction between them and simply call them “meals”.
You are right to be cautious. Don't let people oversell the benefits and minimize the risk. Yes, Johns Hopkins and some other places have early promising results, but these subjects were given counseling before, during, and after their trip. I'm sure for some people a lightbulb goes off and suddenly they can see the problems in their life which had been invisible to them and the benefit is immediate. Most of the time the message isn't so clear, and the benefit comes from actual hard work and changes that come as the result of your insights.

For example, I know I'm getting older, time is limited, and I'm mortal. Taking LSD and looking in the mirror and really seeing myself more objectively, all the wrinkles and saggy skin, the meat of my body hanging off my bones, makes my aging far more tangible and immediate than I can normally conjure. The trick is afterward maintaining that feeling and using it to make decisions about health, prioritizing things that are important, and dropping things that won't matter to me in 20 years.

If I had anxiety issues or deep trauma to work through, I'd absolutely want to use psychedelics in concert with a trained professional to minimize the risk of having things go wrong and to get help in figuring out what the trip meant to me (or "integrating" in the parlance).
This:

"There's a feature you and several other co-workers are building. The deadline is 3 days from now.

You and 'Co-worker A' are tasked in building a module of that feature. You've already written several classes and tried abstracting some repetitive parts that would allow you to hit the target deadline for the team.

However 'Co-worker A' has also worked on those same classes and wrote more methods that are too tightly coupled and doesn't read well underneath. He claims this is a better design than yours just to finish the feature and doesn't budge on changing it during code reviews.

How do handle this situation?"

I like this question since there's a wide range of answers of how people deal with conflict under pressure.
Depositors would earn a lower rate than a riskier bank would pay. If people faced a loss of their principal, this could be a more popular option.

Of course, this is not a product for today's environment, as all depositors face zero risk of losing their principal.

People pay more for safer cars. Why wouldn't they give up some interest for a safer account?

Here's one scientific question I'd like to see answered: If a patient is currently taking anti-depressants (or other meds) for the treatment of PTSD, depression, or addiction, and if a physician thinks a psychedelic treatment might help, how should they understand the interaction between the psych meds and the hallucinogen?

Since we're dealing with ill people, a larger amount of care is warranted.
This is helpful for some of us doing data science and ML with consumer-grade GPUs.

The logical and factual conclusion from capitalism thus far is that more people have owned more stuff than each previous generation.
Dynamic arrays can be more appropriate than linked lists, depending on the context. Because dynamic arrays multiply the buffer size by a certain factor upon every reallocation, growth of the array is amortized O(1). In addition, dynamic arrays get the benefit of the cache because the elements are contiguous.
It is. We call it Lisp.
I'm sorry, Google tracks persons right?
Is that a fact, that Google controls the Chromium project with such an iron grip? I don't know, but don't know if I agree that it's a foregone conclusion. I find it hard to swallow if Microsoft is now involved with Chromium. My guess is that Mozilla joining would take even more power from Google.

My second thought is that they already control the internet either way with Chromium. I'm not sure my (beloved) Firefox has any meaningful sway, or often even gets tested. A lot of web developers who probably don't frequent HN, want to have a single IE6-style monoculture to make their job that much more straightforward.

For sure, I can't say I disagree about Firefox adopting Rust. Definitely a nice technical perk to being a Firefox user. I've been here since 2002 and never left. Can't say I've ever had all the issues that everyone else insists existed. I think a FF reset would have resolved most issues, for most people. I certainly never came across any deal breakers. If there have been any, they were all very recent. The removal of Live Bookmarks, adoption of Pocket and the ousting of Brendan Eich was not a good look in my view.

My read of it is that .NET Core becomes the new .NET, not that .NET Core has parity with the existing .NET.

Specifically I can't just retarget my existing projects against .NET Core (or the new .NET) and have them just work.

This isn't even capitalism. This is like some John Frum cargo-cult version, being acted out by people who have heard the word 'economics' but have at best only absorbed that it is something to do with people who like money and dressing in suits.
I love your description of "the dive". I am happy to see I am not the only one experiencing these recurring devouring interests that bring me much much deeper than I would like to go until I am starting to fork a github repo at 2am wondering "what the hell am I doing?"

And that article is tangentially related to a recurring interest of mine (shared editable 3d universe in which you can code collaboratively). If you happened to have an article comparing the merit of several server architectures/algorithms for collaborative text edition, I think many things can be related. I am now reading about CRDT (What the hell am I doing?) and that's something I may use to edit a scene graph collaboratively!
>It’s a mistake if you believe that the government ... should act in the interests of its citizens.

I disagree here.

I think a government should act in the interests of its citizens, and there are countries where this still occurs.

The argument you are making is whether the US still does this is fair, but they absolutely SHOULD be doing it.
You may like Microsoft products more, but look at the things they’ve been doing for the past few years. Offering OS upgrades for free, adding multiple desktops, adding a terminal that isn’t a pile of trash, embracing open source, making a chrome-like browser, adding the WSL. It’s all saying “we can do what Mac and Linux do”. Quite literally in the case of the WSL.

I’m not complaining about any of these updates btw, I just think bringing in a comparison to Mac about terminals doesn’t make much sense
It would be more accurate if the left hand map had 2-color stripes to indicate both the summer offset and the winter offset, e.g. if CA were striped blue and red on the left, and solid red on the right.
God allows you to succeed. That would be awesome.
This explanation gave me that feeling of how utterly incredible it is at any software works as well as it does.

The amount of work that goes into supporting, debugging, developing, improving, and designing the sheer number of ways that we do things, at literally hundreds of layers of abstractions all which are slightly wrong and each of which does things their own way with their own tradeoffs.

I'm damn glad there are people a lot smarter and more dedicated than I am that keep this stuff running so that I can store a value in localstorage in a browser and have it punch through all of those layers in a fraction of a moment down to writing bits on one of like a dozen storage mediums on any number of OSs via multiple interfaces in multiple browsers.

You can do this in Amsterdam. I went to:

Kokopelli
Warmoesstraat 12, 1012 JD Amsterdam, Netherlands
+31 20 421 7000

And it’s a fantastic artistic environment where they’ll help you pick which strain of mushrooms (well, actually truffles, but same active ingredient) and offer a trip area in back in which to enjoy them while enjoying the nearby canals. Highly recommend Amsterdam, and not as a “party city,” but as a wonderfully tolerant and beautiful city.
Even if financial advisors were always an inferior option than index funds, why should they be allowed to make financial decisions for their clients that are contrary to the best interests of their clients?
That's complete nonsense. Not that I used "zionist as a derogatory term" to being with, but even if I did, that wouldn't make me a racist, because zionism is a nationalistic ideology, you like to conflate with judaism in order to be able to silence any criticism of unjust actions by falsely accusing people of being anti-semitic. There are probably even more evangelical christian zionists than one might expect, does that make me christianophobic as well, or is the victimhood only reserved for people from your group? Either way, I love the jewish people, but I oppose injustice, your 'arguments' are really childish.

I live Japan and this is a great example of how the culture holds on to tradition even if it hurts them over time. Manga is interesting because it’s actually a quite old art form, but the current print method of publication is not [1]. So, you’d expect the web to be a natural, obvious progression.

I’d liken the ethos here to: “Move slow and never break things.”

Most other industries are allowed to sell products that are contrary to their clients' interests. I don't see why wealth management should be any different. If my mechanic can try to sell me a bunch of services I don't really need every time I go in for an oil change, I have no problem with the financial industry doing the same.

Most of these states are motivated by ridding themselves of DST. Shifting time zones is just a byproduct here.

The benefit of time zones (that roughy correlate to local solar time) is that I can get a good idea about their day without any other info; (1am they're probably sleeping, 12pm they're probably at work but might take lunch). If I need to convert between time zones I use my handy lookup table that any computer/phone or back of the envelope math can do. If I want to have a meeting at 1pm in some new fancy Internet Time I have to do some gymnastics to figure out if my friends in India are even awake, let alone working.

There is no risk in terms of taking too much CO2 out of the atmosphere. Over the last couple of hundred years, humans have put several trillion extra tonnes of the stuff in (by burning material sequestered over millions of years). Further, this tech carbon neutral, not carbon negative. The advantage is that when the fuel is used, it's just putting CO2 back into the air that was there before, not adding more.

Hopefully this kind of thing, in addition to switching the electricity grid to zero emissions tech will allow us to halt global warming where it's at.
