I've banned this account because, as we've told you repeatedly before, you're not allowed to use HN as place for ideological battle, and that's basically all you've been doing.

No, that's not because we favor racist mayors. It's because HN needs to be protected against people who only want to use it to advance agendas and fight enemies. If we don't protect it, those things will soon engulf everything else, the same way fire does.

Rudy Giuliani certainly deserves a lot of credit for cleaning up New York City--as US Attorney when he dismantled the Mafia. Whether his policies as mayor were effective is highly debated.
TOPS-10 was DEC's first operating system, that's where the inspiration for other OSes came from. Not the other way around.
Here is an article criticizing Apple recycling practices. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/yp73jw/apple-recycling-ip...

The idea is:

- Recycling is done by third parties

- Recyclers who are part of Apple's program are not allowed to salvage the part, they must shred.

- Only a small part of Apple products are recycled through their program.
gentrification is whiteness amplification, and therefore bad, or something
My point still stands. The charity that owns the thrift store where I volunteer has about twenty paid staff that work in an office. Trust me, they don't want to be using your 10 year old computer either, that's much more likely to break, and be incompatible with other software, and this would only be compounded exponentially if the sole IT person needed to support 20 different obsolete machines. You say "install the software they need and give them training and support." So you're going to be available if they call you at 3pm on a Tuesday because your 10 year-old hard drive failed?

Look, I'm not saying there is absolutely no one that wants your machine, but one of my biggest pet peeves after volunteering in a thrift store for so long is people who donate items that no one really wants, primarily to assuage their guilt. Sometimes garbage is just garbage.
Given the track record of the US military (e.g., 100,000+ __civilians__ killed in Iraq, collateral damage drone strikes on the regular, etc.) It's plenty easy to make the case it is a terrorist organization.

If you're comfortable they're initiating this research then the best I can do is recommend you find a good, honest and fairly objective history book.
How would you support the proposition that San Francisco is not failing, or is even flourishing?

I think their end goal with the full constellation deployed is 3 satellites in view at any time. And they should only shine at dusk/dawn.
And just to show you why I care about the years: you said about the controller CPU it was 8008 in the 2007 interview, which is an 8-bit CPU (e.g. used on CP/M machines), and now 8088, which is a 16-bit with an 8-bit bus (the one in the first IBM PC). If you aren't sure about the CPU but if we'd know when the device started to sell maybe we can exclude the later.
Crime's definitely a problem here, but parts of this strike me as exaggerated. I live in the Mission, and have for almost 20 years. I don't think crime is noticeably worse. This is also the first time I've heard a claim that crime is a significant reason for stores closing. When I talk with actual business owners, the big reasons are 1) massive rent increases, and b) difficulty finding staff at $15/hr.

As an example, Allan Beats, who has run the specialty sci-fi shop Borderlands Books, just closed down his adjoining cafe. He was clear about the problems, and crime doesn't come up: http://borderlands-books.blogspot.com/2019/04/borderlands-ca...

Or Lucca Ravioli, just down Valencia Street, closed on the same day. The owner was selling the building, and there's no way anybody could buy the business without having millions to buy the building too. In sum, it was real estate costs: https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/94-year-old-Lucca-R...

I absolutely agree that crime is a problem; I've had 7 bikes stolen over the years. I also agree that the insane rents guarantee people will end up on the streets, and homelessness is comorbid with addictions, which are often fed by crime. But this strikes me as overdramatic. It makes me wonder who funds the organization that produces this.
Listing Klout as a casualty of the GDPR is like listing polio as a casualty of vaccination. Ditto for the vast swamp of ad intermediaries. It shows the legislation working as intended.
I think I’d like to read from a less partisan source. This guy’s twitter feed is just all ‘democrats suck’ all the time.
There’s also MIDI timecode, which has to send at four messages per frame (up to 120 messages per second), and whose entire job is to convey timing. It’s basically unusable over WiFi.
I've just released the very first public version of my application which I've been working on for the past month.

Reddigram - an app that aggregates photos from Reddit and displays them in a [redacted]-like manner. We can double tap them to upvote, there are subreddits subscriptions and other features which are presented more vastly on the landing page of the app (domain is temporary): https://reddigram.wolszon.me/

Why have I created it? That's simple, for pure entertainment whilst you are sitting on the toilet or trying to get asleep or just as an alternative for scrolling [redacted].

You can download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.wolszon.red...

“SQL is a DSL.” Well, it’s certainly not a general purpose language but why do I feel huffy about this statement?
In Berkeley there's a woman on the streets who has a long history of assaults and property crimes. She obviously doesn't have the mental health care she desperately needs, but I feel the local government is giving up its legitimacy by keeping her on the streets and being all "surprised Pikachu" when she whacks a stranger over the head with a tree branch.

Looking for Heroes
Looking for people with the audacity, the gumption, the gall to save the world. We're looking for people to join an ambitious project ---regardless of technical aptitude --the most important quality being bravery--·--- , a project designed to save the world, a project that has been in development for over four years. We are currently readying a presentation for a cloud funding campaign, We do not wish to publicly provide more information than this. If you think you might be interested, email (using the email address within my profile) me and I'll provide more information, but please keep the information private even if you decide that the project is not for you.

*Edit: looking especially for lisp programmers.
This attitude of "poor people would love my garbage, look at how generous I am!" is rarely accurate.
I don't know whether this will help or not, but your post seems to support the point of the commenter above, and make a good argument that it would help.

The comment said 1% would "completely counteract" climate change. You posit that we'd need to cover an area equal to that of the US to reach that 1%, which would mean covering a small % of that area would have roughly that level of positive impact. Am I extrapolating wrongly?
Unfortunately I see this all too often on systems that have enabled 2FA but not TOTP.

So 4 years ago, me and a couple of partners decided to start an online website selling vaporizers. Our supplier told us he was using Stripe and so we applied for a seller account. I stupidly put my personal information to get up and running quickly.
In the next few days, I get an email from Stripe that vaporizers are prohibited and they can't accept the payments. We were surprised but moved on since we couldn't do anything.

So we eventually scrape the project and I move on to a new website selling electronics. I signed up for a new Stripe account, but immediately got an email from stripe saying:

"our banking partners prohibit us from helping with payments associated with a business we've had to reject previously."

Has anyone faced this or had any recourse? This was 4 years ago and now I am pursuing building a SaaS using Stripe Connect and using Stripe Atlas. Whenever I reached out to Stripe back then, only response I got was decisions are final.

Are all those doors closed for me since I made a stupid mistake years ago?

Did anyone else think using the term "fetishizing" was not just nonsensical in selection, but actually demonstrated a level of social myopia?

Getting a little looser with language for a moment; privacy isn't something that one would classify as a fetish, as socially speaking, it's been the sensible default for centuries.

Seems to me that the real subject of fetishization in this piece is exhibitionism. Specifically of everyone else. With the receiver of gratification from said visibility being tech companies.

Maybe I'm about as straightforward as a series of hairpin turns, but this article did far better at convincing me that tech investors are desperately trying to convince everyone that it's totally okay, and everyone should walk around with their "personal information" out in the open for them to reap the benefits of, and there's absolutely no reason for anyone to second guess this at all, because <shiny economic buzzwords> without even a mention of second or third order implications of their viewpoint, which to be frank, I see as the most blatant form of intellectual and rhetorical dishonesty.

I'm now stuck with a mental image in which the industry I work in is little more than a gaggle of peeping Toms, Voyeurs, and sexual predators all trying to legitimize what their doing watching everyone else as normal or the "new normal" because it's unthinkable that the future shouldn't allow the parasitic commoditization of everyone's personal data.

I'm not even the most socially adept person out there, but this piece is a shocking illustration of what I consider to be malicious perception management.

A very disconcerting read.
The US crime rate went down when Rudy was mayor, because in part the population age bubble of the baby boomers among others got older. Crime rates went down all over the us, conservative or liberal mayors.

A thing that also happened with the police doing almost certainly illegal frisking of people on the street in nyc was that they disproportionately were doing this to minorities - this is hugely damaging to our democracy. I think conservatives are mostly white people and they don't see it happening to them,or if it did rarely they were treated better because they are probably white. If you are a young black man and this happens many times it really hurts your psyche, makes you mad.
Agreed. But it's not like the current policies, some of which include blatantly not enforcing laws, are working.

Giuliani was also a prolific mayor when it come to building housing.

I don't think any right leaning or even centrist political candidate in SF could withstand the inevitable smear campaign that far leftist groups would organize against them.
In SF, there is major organized crime. It’s very obvious. I remember that during my first year in SF, a travel bag was found with a man mutilated inside.

I live in a cheap studio in the Mission to save on rent. The things I see remind me of my childhood in South America. I just wonder when the kidnappings will start.

Also, even professionals have lost all respect for the city. People with a six figure salary urinating on the streets, why?
Great collection of links!

What I see when reading this set of links is that Microsoft really likes slash the the option separator. And while they ran on CP/M neither the CP/M commands[1] or the ISIS commands[2] (both operating systems that Gary Kildall supplied from his company Digital Research.) Used the slash character for options. And that tells me that it wasn't Gary's idea to have slash as an option introducer.

And as mentioned previously, it was DEC's idea to use slashes for options in DCL, which may have been inspired by IBM's Job Control Language (JCL).

Google absolutely does that: https://myaccount.google.com/purchases

They scan your email and extract what you purchased, when, for how much, and when it was delivered. It appears to be as close to universal as they can get it — they’ve extracted info from some pretty niche retailers emails on my account.

There’s no publicly viewable equivalent for scanned health info but, internally, who knows. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if some of that data went into a training set for ad targeting, at the very least.
Being a single person LLC absolutely does gives you the legal advantages of an LLC, provided you maintain separation of personal and business, eg keeping business bank accounts and routing all income and expenses through them, keeping proper accounting books, signing contracts as the LLC and not as yourself, holding company meetings w/ minutes, etc.

In practice this protection isn’t worth as much as it is for larger businesses because, for example, any bank lending to a new single person LLC will require a personal guarantee anyway, and most single person LLC don’t have a lot of situations where they might incur a life destroying liability, like an accident in a warehouse or something, but that protection still definitely exists for single person LLCs.

Wouldn't you just constantly (always) disable it instead of typing a time consuming answer?

Edit: The problem (at least for me) with all these kind of solutions is that you generally need a bypass method and that method usually becomes your standard way of bypassing your anti-procrastination mechanism.
The article says that disabling hyper-threading is a worst case scenario, but I don't think it is.

Intel themselves said [1] "Intel is not recommending that Intel® HT be disabled, and it’s important to understand that doing so does not alone provide protection against MDS."

Absolutely some policies went too far.

But the current status quo of not enforcing laws isn't working either.

Ease of running and portability?
There are plenty of tall wooden buildings, some with wooden exteriors, some without. Wood doesn't actually burn all that rapidly, so it can be a safe choice in the right circumstances.

IIRC the biggest problem with the Grenfell cladding was the combination of flammable insulation + air cavity + flammable cladding. The cladding was not suitable to be used with that particular kind of insulation. Building codes are apparently pretty complex, but not without good reason.
Apple is also one of the companies most responsible for this I-can't-fix-it-let-alone-upgrade-it garbage. Do you want to support a company that's creating a large amount of the problems, too?

I'm still running an HP Pavilion from 2008 that's got a GPU strapped to it and an external monitor connected to that. It's actually capable of playing games now, (esports titles, such as CS:GO, run perfectly fine on there), but part of that is because it has a quad-core i7 mobile CPU that more or less equates to a lower-tier i5 or higher tier i3. I also have a little 14-ish inch laptop made by the same manufacturer at the same time (it has an AMD CPU) that runs really slowly even though it has an SSD in it.

I also have a bunch of stuff laying around that I don't use- such as a FX-era computer with a dual-core machine, that's not even worth the trouble of setting up, and a Pentium III machine that I don't even bother with because ugh. There's a balance to be found between not wasting things, and not wasting money keeping them running- if your car is constantly breaking down, it might be time to send it to the junkyard and get a new one, but for heaven's sake, please make sure that wherever your trash is going there aren't going to be abused workers dealing with it.

why do you think going with another laptop vendor would be better?

There is an entire community of people running old ThinkPads and repairing them and upgrading them, because they are well-thought-out products that can withstand life, meanwhile dropping your macbook means that you've probably broken your screen and getting the full device replaced is going to be cheaper.
Cure for hate: Former skinheads recall what turned them around
Is 10 years normal for the lifespan of a car? Mine is 23 now, still works fine, and I feel is nicer than similar new cars in terms of interior finishes, hydraulic power steering, actual buttons for climate control that do their one thing well.

I don't drive much, but then I don't remember any childhood cars of my parents being at end of life at 10 years, and those were used in daily commutes.

Do the batteries decay over time? If a Leaf only has say 8k miles a year, will the batteries simply fail to hold charge after 22 years?
I believe a large amount is attributable to the homeless (or near homeless) population. Everything around them exploded out of their range, and this is the only power they feel they have to not get priced out or feel any semblance of personal power.

> There's a trend since the ubiquity of computers and internet that the most important thing in life is information and truth.

Sadly, the ubiquity of computers and the internet have also enabled disinformation and denial of information and truth at unprecedented scales.
the web is a really poor abstraction for building UIs and it's kinda incredible that we collectively don't internalize that simple lesson. We have hacked to death a platform for linked text documents because it's what everyone has, that's the extent of the merits of the web platform, but it's not a good fit for what we're trying to do in the productivity world. Flex for example was leaps and bounds better in that regard, and any desktop OS is too. Javascript is a poorly designed language that we beat into submission by working around its many, many flaws.

We keep making this mistake of wanting to use what's available instead of coming together to build something better, so we waste MILLIONS of collective hours because we're dumb.

Crime started to drop precipitously 2 years before Giuliani was elected, during Dinkins' tenure.
What Was the Washington Post Afraid Of?
1. The "index.js" thing is due to how module resolution is handled with CommonJS and ES modules. If you have a file at "./lib/index.js", then you can omit the "index.js" and just write "require('./lib')" from another file.

2. Not exactly. In JS, every file with an "import" or "export" statement somewhere is its own module.

3. You can write code like this for the browser. Most browsers support ES modules now. However, you do need a bundler tool like Webpack if your code depends on other node modules.
If you have an unfilled limit order which is resting on the book at a stock exchange, anyone with L2 data (available for single-digit dollars per month from InteractiveBrokers, among others) will be able to see it, though it won't be linked to you.

This is how order books work. If you don't want counterparties to see the fact that you want to buy or sell stock, your options include a) not telling a stock exchange to advertise your willingness to buy or sell stock by putting in limit orders, b) using a dark pool, or c) become more sophisticated with respect to your execution strategy, such as e.g. using repeated Immediate-or-Cancel orders, etc.
That $50 flat tax will also make it harder for anyone new to compete (the practicality of which seems to be getting higher instead of lower with all these SBC's and the like). Don't underestimate the power of law to shape the future of companies, and which ones survive.
While I agree we (as in the internet at large) haven't solved the text editor problem, by saying "web components have failed" you're concluding in bad faith.

If such a "universal rich text edit" web component comes out, have web components then succeeded? Then failure isn't such a permanent state as your comment implies, rather an indication of work yet to be done.

Unless you'd like to clarify more, your comment seems to me like you're flinging mud without being able to back it up. What's the reason for that?

Of note, Trix has been using the `customElements` standard since forever: https://github.com/basecamp/trix/

There's also slate, the (old!) tinymce, umm... I know I've at least experimented with a good couple more I can't recall.

And, on the topic of components I wish existed (anywhere - react, vue, angular, etc - anything), I've been searching for a good rich multiselect for a long time! If you know of any please let me know :)
'detaro quoting The Guardian upthread:

I do not, that is correct. Perhaps you could explain it to me.
It is a journalistic and commentariat error to presume that such exploits are even faintly protectable. This requires being unclear on the concept on how these things work.
Here's looking at you, Apple. I will never buy another MacBook again until upgrading it is an option. Soldered RAM and especially a soldered hard drive are inexcusable, personally, much less the repair ability factor.
