Report Suggests ‘High Likelihood of Human Civilization Coming to an End’ in 2050
That's 20th century thinking tied into the scourge of fundamental religion that blames every lack of success in any avenue of life on a moral failing despite every bit of evidence to the contrary.

Addiction is a great indication of this, it's pretty conclusive these days that it's a medical and biological issue that can be treated successfully when treated as what it actually is.

But do we do that? Hell no! Our North American protestant roots pretty much insist that we treat it as a moral failing which radiates outwards as ripples of harm on every level of society all because we can't leave some primitive dark ages way of thinking in the dust bin of history like we should.

Housing unaffordable for young people? Of course it's a moral failing, they just didn't work hard enough...cue harm to society in general as it spirals and radiates outwards from that one completely wrong and ignorant thought until we reach the point where there are desperate people everywhere with nothing to lose.

It happens with so many problems and it's lazy thinking that hurts us all.

It's dumb that so many sites require you to create an account just to buy something from them.

Apple debuts SwiftUI and new Xcode interactive development experience
You'd be surprised what homeless in Poland pull to just sleep inside during harsher winter.

Forging keys, breaking and entering into garbage disposal or basements and of course trespassing and squatting are some of the things I've personally witnessed and that's not the end.

Yes, there are some facilities but apparently not enough and with conditions not acceptable to some of them.
I think there are two differences here:

1. Services have little incentive to support mailinator, and indeed may deliberately choose not to if they feel it is leading to signups they don’t like. On the other hand it would be hard to argue with an incentive like the App Store requiring you to support apple’s service.

2. Because the service is built in to apple’s systems there seems to be an implicit contract that apple wont let it be abused for the purposes that many sites claim mailinator is used for (because it isn’t useful to apple customers if sites don’t trust it and it). So they might be more willing to accept these email addresses.

I guess neither of these help services like mailinator gain credibility.
> Some sites show me the three-hour flight will cost 616kg of CO2. Is it per person? I don't know. Let's assume per person (even though I'm pretty sure it's for the entire flight).

It is per person, going by plane takes roughly as much as going by car if it is over land. Stockholm to Barcelona is according to Google 2788 km. Typical car takes 1.2 litre per 10km, so the whole trip would be around 300 litres of petrol. 1 litre of petrol is around 2.4 kg CO2, so over 700 kg CO2 for the entire trip.
> I’m currently short the US auto industry (except Tesla)

Do you anticipate a future where Tesla succeeds but the economy doesn't? Right now Tesla's solvency is a product of SpaceX's success, and government subsidies (credits for buyers - remember how Tesla markets their prices - and credits they can sell). The average new car price is about $35,000, which means for every BMW someone's buying a low-end Corolla, and I don't see them succeeding long-term on sales if they can't start building $20,000 cars.
Apple has never rejected an app for no reason.

If apple was constrained from shipping apps that have competitors, they would effectively be prevented from shipping any apps at all.
Yep. And if they make more, they think they should pay an even higher share. Which, notes, will still leave them with more money.

Hell, my roommate pays as much in taxes than I make, yet he still comes home with more money than I do.

Starting $11000 for a Mac Pro plus display

That's a bargain compared to the LISA, which was only $25k adjusted for inflation!

2nd why do they compare it(a led display) with an oled pro display from Sony?
What a bunch of misleading marketers!
I'd argue at that price they still don't have a good option merely an option.

$6k for an 8 core tower with 32GB of RAM base and a 256GB SSD (my Thinkpad has 32GB of RAM and more more nvme m2 storage than that).

So it's less powerful in the base config with half the RAM of the machine I built last year for £2000 (about $2600 currency to currency, I suspect you could do it for $2200 if you built it in the states).

Which will shortly be a 12C/24T for another $499 - whatever I get for the 2700X.

I get that I'm not the target demographic but that is hilarious.

The way Youtube suggests videos has been borked in favor of sensationalism and popularity for a while now. It used to be if you were watching "Cooking Steak Part 2" the first suggested video was "Cooking Steak part 3" and the second suggested video was "Cooking Steak Part 1" and the third suggestion was "Cooking Chicken Part 1". Now it's a dead guarantee that not only will the suggested videos not be the next one in the sequence, it won't have anything to do with what I'm currently watching. It's utterly worthless.

This simply speaks to the impetus behind progressive taxes: that each additional dollar has decreasing marginal utility. Therefore, to extract the maximum amount of value for society in aggregate, it makes the most sense to put the highest taxes on money that has the least utility.

You could also make the argument along other lines, such as that the wealthiest individuals have benefitted most from the cohesion/quality of the society, and should therefore be most responsible for its upkeep in kind.
I think the point is that by the GGP's (defterGoose's) standards, that's not differentiable from someone who just hates the rich. (And, frankly, if I started saying that the optimal tax brackets would be 99% for all income over $200k and 1% for all income $50k-$200k, the fact that I would pay more than some other people would not be particularly relevant)

It does seem a bit convenient, but on the other hand if you put a positive spin on it, in the ideal world you would want investigations of the big n tech companies to happen at the same time and not play "favorites" by doing one first and letting the others benefit.

Whether or not they violate existing statute, they all seem to be abusing their power in various ways. (Google and Facebook with personal information, ad handling, and interoperability, Apple with walled garden and no-competition apps, et al.)
For better or worse, taxpayers give a shit about taxpayers, so it's important to recognise when arguments made in their name, and against people who are suffering, are actually a false economy.

Rust does provide some help in its type system (via ownership), but it is not nearly as expressive as Obsidian's. Rust, AFAIK, does not support linearity (i.e. will not warn you when you accidentally lose an owning reference to an object). It also does not directly support typestate (although there are ways of shoehorning parts of that in, I believe).

> Protected cycle lanes are great only so long as nobody turns to the right directly in front of you.

Yes, many bike lane advocates seem to think bike lanes are some panacea, but the vast majority of them don't address this basic issue. I think this is because strong bike lane advocates tend to be less experienced cyclists if they are cyclists at all. The more experienced cyclists have more nuanced views in my experience.

In Austin there are several protected bike lanes that I simply don't use because drivers far too frequently turn across them without looking. I'm confident enough to ride in the normal travel lane there, but I recognize that many cyclists aren't.
Same reason I didn't buy a 1440 rez Dell when I originally bought the Cinema display: the Apple product is supposed to "integrate seamlessly, for a full cinema experience, and an orgasmic combination of fanboism". The display also made for a great MBP docking station back in the day. And it's still a nice display, if ten years old.

I want another one of those, only moar pixelz. And not five thousand g-ddamned dollars.
I think part of the difference in HN opinion color is somewhat related to transparency.

Subscription content business models are straightforward and marketed as such: $ for access.

Ad supported business models are... murkier. And I'd say Google and Facebook haven't done a sufficient job in proactively informing the public about what they collect, how they generate revenue from it, and what's currently stored about a user.

Also, ad supported models have the unfortunate side effect of having revenue directly tied to the greatest possible exploitation of existing data (and collecting greater amounts going forward). Which... aren't great ethical incentives.
There are developers here who make 200-600K per annum. So they can buy these monitors. Of course they can choose not to but it wouldn't be such a big deal for them.

Totally agree. Maybe I should have said "capable option" instead of "good option." Up to this point they had an expensive, dated, non-upgradable pro offering and a bunch of consumer level offerings. Something that's just expensive (but up-to-date and upgradable) seems like a significant improvement on their status quo.

Signal also does historical synchronization between devices. It bootstraps the history from another device. It also has search which can be done locally. Telegram is, by design, capable of being accessed by 3rd parties (beyond governments). iMessage is capable of being accessed by 3rd parties via iCloud backups, which is an opt-in situation.

Be aware, wechat sends every message with geolocation to the authorities in real time. It is more critical than ever that we be aware of the mechanisms in the systems we build and use -- else dystopia awaits.

Why doesn't Apple introduce different options? For example, I would never need a 6k display, but having a nice, matte finish, 1000 nit display at 1440p or 4k would definitely be on my radar.

If they sold smaller resolution displays at more appropriate price points, I would be more inclined to buy it. They offer similar pricing structures for their iPhone and MacBook lines, so why not apply the same to monitors?

> an 8-core machine (I get it's Xeon), with a 256GB SSD and 32GB of RAM with a nice graphics card for $6000 is ludicrous

Machine on itself may be, but the software? Let me offer from music production perspective.

For instance, Logic Pro X costs $200 - and has more value than even the fullest edition of Ableton Live (at least, for me), which costs $800. And Windows Pro is $200 against a free OS X, so the cost difference just for audio production is $800 already. And if you compare the quality of ASIO4ALL with it's OS X counterpart, I'm not sure how to put monetary value on it, but it just shows that it's not about the hardware...

I have recently outgrown my 2014 macbook and didn't want to buy neither a modern one, nor a trashcan mac, so I moved to Windows machine. Now, with modular Mac Pro design back, I know that I can finally build the workhorse I want.
I work for Novartis. We did cure a couple of cancers using bespoke technologies that don't scale particularly well. The prices are ludicrous ($250-500k), but then it does take a team of scientists weeks of time per patient and its a single treatment... but it doesn't cure diabetes.

I think it's great to encourage students like Samarth and I by sharing and talking about what we're building. You can offer specific and helpful feedback which I would really appreciate. But I don't appreciate your calling my work bullshit. And I think this attitude chases away less privileged students from pursuing things like software further. There's value in making something that people get joy from, even if it's not the cutting edge shit that OpenAI blogs about. And I'm confident in what I made here.
Are there OLED panels available with this size and pixel density? My understanding is also that OLED panels currently can suffer a bit from burn-in, or at least color stability problems, which is a no-go for reference monitors.

They talked about it at length. Per the keynote it's 10bit color at 1000 nits/1600 peak which would put it at about Display HDR1000 (but no mention if it's certified, so probably not).

It can't support Dolby Vision (requires 12 bit color), which means that it can't replace reference displays for professionals.

Also HDR playback has been supported for awhile on MacOS, since high sierra it's been one of those "it just works" features.
Similarly, it's the dream of every hacker to find a sandbox world where they can experiment to their heart's content. These government and society hackers as much as anyone.

Technically, "sandbox" an area of safe experiment cordorned from the rest of the system. Seasteading would have real, permanent consequences considering the agenda involves recruiting a large number of people.

It's been shown that the primary thing that keeps many people in perpetual poverty is rules, it's the founding principle behind the concept of charter cities.

This claim is dubious in the extreme. In the areas of the world with little poverty, you generally find well developed rule system. Similarly, areas with great, squalid levels of poverty often have few-to-no rules.
