You can get pretty decent solid wood furniture. Often it's "Amish" which doesn't mean hand-made or made with old-timey tools, of course, just made in an air-powered factory, probably, assuming it's not just marketing BS. Gotta watch out, a lot of it's not put together all that well. And you're not gonna find anything trendy (mid-century modern, say) looking in the lower (so, semi-reasonable) end of that price range, it's all Shaker and such. Wood itself may be from inferior (but cheaper) species, and of course there just isn't amazing lumber in any quantity anymore like there was 100+ years ago. Any mechanisms may be kinda crap, mostly just avoid fancy stuff. But quality can be had if you watch out to make sure you're not getting screwed.

I haven't found anything amazing that's upholstered but I assume the good products there are just out of my price range. I've got a couple Flexsteel pieces and they're at least a hell of a lot more durable than your average Ashley Furniture near-future-landfill-fodder, while being similarly priced to the "higher end" (LOL) of that sort of thing. The upholstery itself still sucks but at least the frames and springs may pass the decade mark. Good fabric and good stitching are very expensive (see: any non-terrible clothes) so, again, I probably just can't afford the good stuff there so I've not really seen it.

[EDIT] meanwhile I have my grandparents' couches they bought something like 40 years ago, and despite heavy use they've probably got another 3-5 years left in them (springs starting to go, finally) and no burst seams or rips in the fabric, even on the cushions. Hell, the cushions aren't even getting flat. I guarantee they were just normal ol' furniture when they bought them, nothing fancy. Furniture quality has definitely gone downhill. Then again those couches, though likely on the cheaper end back then, would probably be a lot more expensive than our modern low-end in today's dollars. More so if you factor in wage growth. I don't even know where to find a couch that's likely to last 40+ years, now. It'd probably cost $10,000 if I did find it.

ZeroDown is constructing a new path to home ownership
I may have an idea, for the sound at least.

I think this is essentially a way to "simulate" the loud keys of a mechanical keyboard on a silent/quieter keyboard. Most mechanical keyboard users would probably say the "click clack" sounds from their key switches are just a side effect and the real reason they use them is the "feel", but I'd argue that it's the entire sensory experience: the feel and sound, that they (and I) enjoy.

It'd be nice to have some low-latency "click clack" sounds on my MBP using Neovim...
Yes, that's true. I mean the Android Open Source Project, rather than Android as an OS family. For Android as a platform defined by the Compatibility Definition Document / Compatibility Test Suite, it doesn't have a specific kernel, and Windows could have become certified as Android if they had actually gone ahead with pursuing that.
Department of Energy Invests $39M to Improve Existing Coal-Fired Fleet
In very hot housing markets the cost of owning exceeds the cost of renting, because buyers are gambling that prices will keep skyrocketing and they will make up for it in capital gains. If prices fail to increase for some reason (e.g. tech bubble bursts in SF) then buying will cost them hundreds of thousands or millions.

Imagine if some spy on espionage mission has sex with you and police/intelligence finds your dna in her bedroom or inside her, and now you'll be under investigation and maybe torchered too to reveal something you've no idea about.

I am not sure if it's possible in first world countries but many countries where these companies will soon offer such investigative service to local intelligence/police department have very high chance to do exactly that.
Not sure why you are being downvoted on this.
Obviously they can be made outside of China. What Wall Street would care about is whether or not the assembly cost would be raised, and how Apple would deal with that (pass the additional cost onto the customer, or take the hit and absorb a little/all of the added cost).

People get surprised that in Spain the lunch hour is around 13:30 instead of 12:00. But when you take into account the sunrise/sunset times it corrects part of the difference.

I'm not spreading FUD, and the conversation isn't about what you claim. Talking about the lack of basic security on existing operating systems based on monolithic kernels written in memory unsafe languages is hardly nitpicking.

US admits role in Operation Lava Jato, brags about Lula conviction
I just realised it's 2019 and capabilities are still misunderstood, and the ACL-capability-equivalency myth continues to result in poor solutions to security problems.

For anybody who is curious, the general problem here is described in two great papers as "the confused deputy" [1] and "designation without authority" [2].

Roughly put, systems built with ACLs as the primitive mechanism for authorization can never produce practically secure systems.

> isn't the plastic we carefully collected - it's the plastic that "got away".

From what I understand, it is the plastic we carefully collected, but didn't properly dispose of. Instead, it was sold to someone else who wasn't so careful or of dubious morals, and they didn't let it get away, they just plain threw it away. If that's truly the case, then hopefully we could cut out the inept or unscrupulous middlemen, and use it for something instead of disposing it.
My experience is the exact opposite of yours. Amp drives me insane. It shows a bastardized version of most pages, it doesn't behave the way I expect. It has this weird swipe side to side thing that makes no sense and gets triggered accidentally. It also breaks scrolling in iOS, causing the header and footer to always show. I've gotten so sick of the terrible AMP browsing experience that I actually have to click the little i in the top corner to navigate to the real page. Which causes more data use, a worse user experience, and more difficult time getting to the content that I want.
This isn't, by no means, a belittlement against Troy Hunt, but here are some things to consider:

What makes Troy Hunt any more trustworthy? Do you think he can't make a mistake? What if his operation suddenly can't handle something because of X reason? What if he's breached himself or any of the services he's using break down or worse, provide invalid data or incorrect data? What if user Y searches his site, finds out they aren't vulnerable due to a missed data dump or data dump that isn't been loaded yet, then all of sudden gets compromised? Who's to say his employees won't screw something up.

Troy is right. He can't efficiently do this anymore. From the architecture I've seen, all he's doing is monitoring a twitter feed for new data. What if that twitter feed gets compromised and he just ends up uploading password? If he's dealing with millions of records, there is no way he could "manually verify" if every record was safe to upload, yet he claims he does manually verify them without much elaboration of the process...

Imagine allowing legitimate companies to upload their breaches to the site or maybe other security companies could upload data. It could be so much more accurate. Plus the extra hardware could handle the load and help verify the data being uploaded much better than the current operation.

You're right, it's unnecessarily abrasive. But it is, as far as I can tell, a very minority use case, and these days most of the reader software has adapted. If you see some of the DOM horrors inflicted by Facebook, then suddenly tables look positively readable.

Perhaps what should have happened was the defining of a "table-layout" tag that behaves exactly the same as "table" except it's understood to be for visual presentation only. Flexbox almost achieves this, but for some reason isn't as popular.

> You're assuming that "take on debt" means literally taking on debt that you don't pay back quickly.

No, I'm saying I don't want to have anything to "pay back" to anyone. _You_ are free to live differently, I just want the option to complete my transaction at the time and move on. Yes, paying back debts on time prevents bad outcomes, but so does not taking on the debt in the first place. And objectively it's a much more rock solid way of making sure your finances don't get out of whack. I've never met anyone who says "I'm bad with debt," but yet many American's have suffered bad consequences from debt.

> you funnel/proxy money you already have through a creditor

A service I don't want, get no value from, and increases the cost of the goods I consume because they aren't offering it for free.

> Building credit means you could put yourself thousands of dollars in debt... but you don't.

Not quite, you could actually be carrying debt you aren't able to pay back, but are able to make payments on. In fact - it's in the credit industry's best interest for you take out lots of loans that you _can't pay back_ but _can_ make payments on because the (often massive) interest is the money maker. Soon you'll have paid more in payments than you were actually lent. This has gotten so bad the government has had to get involved multiple times. I'm worried that credit scores are tools to create that situation, because of this alignment (think it about like this - are you the customer/priority? or is it the lenders?). Sort of like casinos wanting you to think you're "up" or close to a big score when in reality you're in the red. (And don't get me started on the opaqueness of the systems, lack of recourse for errors, and oh yeah - the security negligence that leads to large scale losses of sensitive data...)

> "You're not _really_ going into debt;"

Aw come on, if you have to put "really" in italics you already know I'm not gonna buy it. :-)

I get that I can have a good credit score, I get that lots of people don't mind having one. To each their own. I'm just annoyed that I can't opt out. That "not having a credit score" is increasingly not a choice I can make, nor can my children.

I doubt many people here are "against" profanity. From only my own anecdata, my assumption is that it makes your comment sound emotional or childish to people.

For example, I agree with what you wrote recently[1] about diet fads, but you did yourself a disservice by starting the comment with, "What? No! Fucking hell."

Your position is reasonable, but it begins like a lot of angry, irrational rants that we see on HN. I assume some people downvoted without getting past the first sentence.

I think something similar happened when you railed against reddit[2]. I agree with you, but you come across as cranky.

Finally, I see some examples of personal comments that are often downvoted. In one case, you say someone is a libertarian without knowing them (and seemingly in a dismissive way)[3]. You also have at least one post flagged for being personal[4].

My overarching suggestion is this: HN has a very different implicit culture than reddit. While I agree with you on almost all of your ideological positions, I also agree with HN's downvotes most of the time.

The culture of "unemotional, value-add comments only" gives HN a much higher signal-to-noise ratio than reddit. There are also surprisingly few flamewars here.

If you find your emotions appearing in your comment, take a few more seconds to re-read and edit them out. I think that in the marketplace of ideas, yours are fairly reasonable and popular, but the tone seems to rub people here the wrong way.

You can have webs of power, but I've found that organizations that work this way have a lot of dysfunction. That's not to say that a hierarchy can't be dysfunctional, but I do think that well constructed hierarchies without tyrants are preferable to their "webbed" equivalent, since webs are almost always inefficient and serve to mask a lot of the power for the sake of a superficial form of equality or equity.

I won't name names, but a company that I worked for was very web-like, which felt good at first because it seems more "fair" or democratic, but it lead to constant confusion, infighting, communication failures, etc., and I discovered that it lead to two forms of employees: hogs that managed to eat more from the trough through clever maneuvering, and "homer simpsons" who figured out they could be lazy and not suffer serious consequences since their title was nebulous and the chain of command was diffuse(an individual with poor performance didn't reflect that badly on a superior).

The team that I worked on functioned mostly as a web, and that actually worked well because we were only 6 people at most, but an entire company functioning as a web is a nightmare.
I can't speak to whether that is inconsistent or not, but in support of HN User'village-idiot', I think it'd be a pretty big bummer for people to find out that any tryst they have with a lover is not private, but public in nature.

I think Apple should stand by their human rights mantra and move their production out of China. It should not be a question of where they are sold, the only question a company with their supposed rights advocacy is where they are produced.

SCOTUS is a nearly-pure democracy. Every issue of substance is put to a vote, and everyone has freedom to act individually in anything not put to vote, along with ample funding for their desires (law clerks for work, and indivual pay for personal perks). (Namely, Q&A in session, and what they write in their opinions.)
Their scope of power is sufficiently limited that favor-trading isn't very important.
All that remains are the minor traditional formalities of when and where they meet and how they dress.

By that logic you can argue that banning plastic bags will decrease the use of oil, making it cheaper for those who want to burn it. Or that buying tesla makes oil cheaper and in some other place more of it gets burned. In all of these cases the effect is tiny.
Plan 9 was mentioned but dismissed as "bizarre and unwieldy" (FWIW, I have no opinion on this).

I think you're mostly right, but it depends - and presumably Eastern Europe would want us there too in the event of a Russian invasion.

The problem when they "want you" is that your occupying Army now has to do things like government administration and nominal policing, something the United States military hasn't done, at least convincingly well, since WWII (one could make an argument this started going well at the end of the Iraq war but I would heartily disagree). It's just a different type of occupation.

There are more devices supporting this than there used to be though. https://grapheneos.org/#device-support explains that it's going to support other devices. It doesn't support the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL yet either. Supporting each device is a lot of work, and other devices will need to be carefully chosen. It would be harmful to make bad choices about device support and encourage people to buy insecure devices with too many issues that can't be fixed with another OS.

> Well who signs contracts like these? I mean really? And why? I really cannot understand anybody giving away that much of their live for an employer/the next paycheck.

The outrage is a bit funny, because that's actually the law in Germany. It doesn't even need to be in the contract. (1) And if you think about it, it makes sense: Otherwise every employee who finds something patentable during working hours just clocks out, goes home and invents it "on his own time." And that would be a problem for an employer, too. So the deal is "employer pays you, and gets first dibs on whatever you invent in the general area that the employer pays you to work in."
