I'm not. I am implying that it is conservative and advertises a lot. If you can get from videogames to PragerU in a couple clicks I wouldn't be surprised if you could get from PragerU to facist stuff in a couple clicks.

And if it's possible to get from almost anywhere in youtube into conservative propaganda territory in 1-2 clicks, then from there I think the recommendation system can (without ads) probably get you to the fascist stuff, since the recommendation system wants to give you more right wing politics and maybe can't differentiate very well within that space
And can you believe some people use Gmail instead of Pine?!

Heck, why is Hacker News even a website? We should be posting on Usenet instead!

I couldn't care less about tools, I want to achieve something, I'll pick up whatever tool that allows me to achieve that quickly and effortlessly. And I'm telling you this as someone who's using linux and writing a bookmark manager for myself in Go right now to pair with menu because all other ways of doing bookmark management suck.

> It’s the main reason I send my kids to private school

I was sent to a private school for jr. high, and it was a shit show that severely derailed my education at the time.

Unbeknownst to my well-meaning parents, it turned out the private school was where parents of abusive troublemaker bullies sent their kids after their barely having passed public school, as the last option before military school.

There were quite a few years where I wanted to murder the administrators at the school and my parents because they were entirely incompetent and in my eyes responsible for creating this abusive situation I was forced into, for no apparent reason other than religious beliefs (it was a catholic school, catholic parents).
When i joined Netflix in 2011 I asked my manager what they used for chat. "Oh we use Yahoo Instant Messenger. There is a Confluence page where everyone has listed their user name so you can add other team members."

Wat? I had just come from Microsoft where we had been using Lync for years. I could instantly IM anyone at the company. The Netflix way seemed like madness.

So I immediately started working on a easy to use business chat application. Just kidding. I shrugged it off and installed Yahoo Instant Messenger, added my user name to the confluence page and went back to work.

Dang it.
The dominance of Windows and Android has nothing to do with whether users want control. It is because they are cheaper.

If you compared how many people buy a $1000 iPhone vs. a $1000 high-end Android phone, you would see completely different numbers.

My anecdotal observation is that when people aren’t price-conscious (either because someone else is paying for their device, or because they have a lot of disposable income themselves), they prefer Apple >95% of the time.

A foreigner from a different continent finds it hard to talk to most Europeans (because they are all a singular block) about feminism? Don't be ridiculous. They likely just didn't want to talk to you about it, and it sounds as if you laboured on such points a few times.

And, depending on how well you knew the people you where talking to, they likely mistook your accent for American (I'm English and this happens even to me), which would certainly affect how people see your views on such topics and would impact their willingness to talk to you about it.

All in all, not many people want to talk to American sounding people they might not know very well about issues like their views on feminism or racial discrimination. I see this more as a "you" thing than a "Europe" thing.

Going to 4chan and saying a bunch of trolly triggering stuff at your friends to get out your anger isn't really a bad thing.

I'm not sure why you think it's a good idea to defend a company that takes away _your_ control of your computer, and how the other computers having been exploited makes you feel better about losing _your_ work (when you are presumably qualified to avoid and/or detect being exploited on your own). Perhaps you're lucky to not have had trouble with this yet?
In Wisconsin like most states cities are creations of the state and transit authorities are also creations of the states. Local tax revenues flow out of cities into the state government for redistribution, which usually results in a net flow of money out of those cities to rural areas, because the cities have the larger economies and the rural areas have a variety of high costs for things like firefighting and road building. The Milwaukee County Transit System, being a creature of the state, derives its funding from the state, which is not always equitably forthcoming.

NYC has the same problem with the MTA being controlled by the state government, despite the fact that 97% of the state's economic activity originates in NYC.

Any way, if you know anything about American history then you know about the phenomenon where a surrounding entity like a county or state arranges to extract money from a city while also starving it of services. St. Louis is probably the most notable example. Blaming such a city for its own transportation system, while also suggesting that those cities need to spend their own capital to provide parking and driving opportunities to rural citizens, just underlines how little you understand about American cities.
Very valuable to know. Thank you.

>> “In Metrotown here in Burnaby, and in parts of Vancouver, at nighttime you’ll walk around and you’ll see the big apartment buildings, and there’s no lights on—because nobody’s there.”

I've been saying this for years. It is scary. I used to live on the north shore. In my old neighborhood perhaps 70% of houses are dark, either empty or under some stage of reconstruction. My generation has moved away, leaving an aging population of parents. Most of those are moving away once they sell their family homes. My old neighbors who have stayed might all be living in 1/2/3 million-dollar houses, but they feel very alone at night.
> Are Europeans worried about Nazis? Not as far as I can tell.

It probably strongly depends on the bubble one lives in, both in America and Europe.

I remember reading the Millennium trilogy, written by a Swedish author, where (spoilers, I guess) every unsympathetic guy, without exception, turns out to be literally a secret Nazi. The books sold 80 million copies worldwide, multiple movies were made of them.

Or, if you read Russian propaganda, they never stopped fighting Nazis; it's like WW2 actually never ended. Recently they have liberated Crimea from the Nazi attack.

All this seems crazy to some people, and serious to others.
The article doesn't use the term I've heard of to describe this, which is "data gap".

Take something like a query for "Is the Earth Flat?". There's not a continual stream of videos, posts, and comments about how round the earth is (it's just taken as a given). So Google naturally floats content that says "The Earth is Flat" to the top.

This plays out in all sorts of odd and horrific ways. There was a local political contest where one candidate accused the other of some literal nonsense (it was something like they were a demon or smelled like sulfur). This rumor was making the rounds on Facebook, etc and if you Google'd their name and "sulfer" you'd find some whacked out post about how some lady stood behind them at a coffee shop and thought they smelled and that they were satan's lovechild.

What is that candidate to do? Put up their own competing post saying "I don't smell like sulfur?"

Periodically I daydream about building an absolute monstrosity of a computer with a LiteScribe DVD burner, combo floppy disk reader, iomega zip drive reader, TV/cable tuner, and other older forgotten-about technology. The motherboard will have a LPT parallel port and a serial port of course. I would call it The Tower, keep it in a spare room.

Whenever I would need to access any information out of old media without fear of damaging anything, I'd pop it into The Tower then SSH into it from a rather useless but comfy Macbook 12".

> “Who are we building for? What income brackets can afford these units being put up in Vancouver?” asks Andy Yan, director of The City Program at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.

That is such the wrong question to ask. We live in a market economy, no single person decides what sort of thing gets built - the market does.

Today's luxury apartment is tomorrow's affordable one. It is unfair and unrealistic to expect the market to build brand new and cheap apartments. Those words to not go together.

We can't just build more houses in the same size of city - it needs to expand outward. Stuffing more apartments in the same square mile won't do much.
In principle, the constitution outlines a federal government with specific, limited, enumerated powers. Over time, our interpretation of what those powers are and how they can be applied has changed a lot.

The 18th was considered to be needed because although Congress does have the power to regulate interstate commerce, obviously selling alcohol isn't really interstate commerce. You might be brewing your own beer, or buying whisky at a local bar that was distilled in the next city over. Since it's not interstate commerce, it's not one of the enumerated powers, so Congress can't do it without an ammendment.

No ammendment was considered to be needed for marijuana because, by the time the issue came up, our understanding of the commerce clause had changed. Today we would say that everything is interstate commerce. Even if you grow it yourself, you could choose to sell it across state lines, and your decision to grow versus buy was probably impacted by the price of buying it, which in turn depends on the price in other states. In Wickard v. Filburn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn), the Supreme Court found that growing wheat on your own land to feed to your own chickens was interstate commerce, because his decision to do so had an economic impact on interstate commerce. In Gonzales v. Raich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich) the court made it clear this applied even if there is no (legal) interstate commerce.

Under these precedents, the 18th amendment would not be necessary. Whether that suggests the poor benighted fools back then just didn't understand their own constitution, or whether modern jurisprudence has abandoned the true meaning of the text, or whether the constitution is a living document that may mean different things in different eras, even if the wording doesn't change is a matter of heated debate. :)

That's not yet proven, especially if IRC was a viable (open) technical stack to build on top of. Your argument also applies without modification to the following excerpt from Wikipedia:

> The classic example of rent-seeking, according to Robert Shiller, is that of a feudal lord who installs a chain across a river that flows through his land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee (or rent of the section of the river for a few minutes) to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector. The lord has made no improvements to the river and is not adding value in any way, directly or indirectly, except for himself. All he is doing is finding a way to make money from something that used to be free
Well that is orders of magnitude faster than I expected. Didn't they just get FCC approval?
Ultimately? It comes down to interstate trafficking, and interstate commerce. edit someone above me hit it in way more detail, but yep...

As someone who also has watched people get sucked into dogma of both sides...yes this is how it happens

but, the story does give a feeling of being too perfect. I doubt they would just make things up, but it feels likely that a lot of liberty was taken with making it all fit really nicely.

Again all that said, the points within it, are true and valid, the story at plot level is very realistic and is happening all the time.

I think you're giving criminals too much credit here. Risking a few years in jail to get $200 when you can get that risk free working a minimum wage job means they either don't care about the punishment, or they don't think they're going to be caught.

The bigger issue is that "higher density" compared to the old status quo still isn't producing enough new housing to moderate prices; if prices remain high, there are only two fundamental methods to deal with high prices: increase supply or reduce demand.
> the Supreme Court found that growing wheat on your own land to feed to your own chickens was interstate commerce

ONLY because it affected the sale of other grains... in theory, because instead of buying grain off the market to feed your chickens, you used your own grain, which not only deprived the market of your purchase, it also took grains away from the market also... since you didn't sell them.

there is no competition for cannabis or psilocybin.

i'd love to see this argued in court.

As shared by a friend of mine recently:

Well, my kid screwed up!
She took a multitool to school. It has a knife blade.
I'm sure every student will go home and tell their parents that someone had a knife at school. Which is true, and only part of the story.

I am glad she is at a private school, where she was only suspended for the day, vs at a public school with an onduty police officer, where she would have been formally charged and entered into the 'system' (a discussion for another time, but this is one problem I have with SRO and the criminalizing of students for minor offenses and how that leads the schools into a pipeline to prisons).

Suspended for the day; sure I guess that’s “reasonable.”

Personally, my wife and I are glad to have homeschooled our kids.
Father of boys and girls here. Both sexes are just as violent, boys more so on the body, and girls more so on the mind.

It was fascinating to hear my 7 year old daughter grasp for words to make me angry: ‘when you and mom divorce, I’m going with mom.’ I just raised an eyebrow and ignored. Boy’s will just throw things.
It was a trick question: two are optional.

They're already a CA, could they reasonably just issue a certificate for every bucket? I have no idea how many buckets there are in total.

This very article ends with '"¿Por qué no los dos?", which means "Why not both?"'. I agree, use both, but don't get carried away with either. If you exclusively use composition you're basically reinventing inheritance anyway, with more steps.

But the linked article is reasonable. Less reasonable articles like this one exist, however: https://codeburst.io/inheritance-is-evil-stop-using-it-6c4f1...

These are the articles where someone saw that the "cool kids" don't like/use inheritance, and so adopted the position to try and be "cool".

Don't try to be cool, try to understand. Inheritance doesn't say, "Create a complex inheritance tree of interdependent classes". That's the strawman. Remember that.

Hitler was incredibly anti-liberal, authoritarian, pro-business and pro-military and drew most of his initial support from the middle classes and farmers. The socialist name was an attempt to draw lower class workers to the party who typically voted for the actual communist party.

Violent protesters exist on both sides, sure. However only one side agitates its members into such a fury that they mow down counter-protesters with cars. The parallels to Sturmabteilung are absolutely ridiculous.

Issuing one certificate at a time wouldn't make a difference since they're all submitted to public CT logs. Bucket names shouldn't contain sensitive information and security through obscurity is a bad idea.
