I'm not surprised. Local fresh produce tends to be the way to get much better food products.

What I would like to see is a curated list of all common objects we use daily that have the properties I mentioned above: high quality, safety and repairability.

Places like r/bifl and manufactum.de are good starting points, but they are far from complete.
With how close the election was, it's a very short jump to conclude that hacking the emails of both the party and campaign of one side successfully directed the narrative enough to flip the election. You can easily see here that Russian cyberattacks were effective in washing out any message by the target candidate: https://news.gallup.com/poll/195596/email-dominates-american...
I have to laugh at this. In Japan, my Chinese-made bicycle is bulletproof and entirely functional. It cost $150, shipped to my front door. It’s a folding bike with 9 speeds and disc brakes. I’ve ridden it day after day for years. It spent two years without shelter in the elements. It won’t win the Tour but it is a winner in every other way.

You can tell me the environmental impact was horrendous and I would believe you, but the quality of this bicycle can’t be denied.
Compared to what
Can you explain what MERN means in this context?
The point was, in fact the bitcoin and bitcoin clones are not "functionally the same thing". If they were, there wouldn't be discrepancies between the two. Clearly the market punished the clone.
I haven't seen a real Roguelike in years. I'm going to have to take a look. the 'Rogue-lite' genre has been my favorite for years with games like Binding of Isaac and FTL. I'm excited to give this a try and see what a true modern Roguelike looks like. Thanks!

Legislate then to stop. That’s a plan.

We the people hold a common understanding that our God given time upon this planet be for the benefit of the almighty, ourselves, family and neighbours, and that surveillance and advertising companies are predatory in nature, disagreeable in behaviour, and hereby forbidden on pain of all directors and shareholders thereof being put in stocks and having rotten fruit threw upon their faces and their abusively gained assets confiscated and distributed amongst the surveiled.
Sure. And there is anti polish sentiment in Israel[0]What is your point? I don't want to put words in your mouth.

Kids do stupid stuff ( yes, even after they've been told not to; maybe especially so when they are expressly forbidden ). This is not news. What is interesting, however, is that near constant push to effectively shut down the entire conversation around holocaust and Israel by simply crying anti-semitism. That is a weak cry. And it is growing weaker every time it is used on non anti-semitic stuff. It is like crying wolf and being surprised no one listens when it actually comes.

You are right about normalization though. People hardly blink an eye since Golan heights annexation is now a morally acceptable land acquisition[1]. Crimea still is not. Go figure.

So yeah. Lets talk about kids drawing swastikas, because that is definitely, totally, the crux of the issue.

Global warming is a thread the needle problem: people need to be worried enough to act, but not to give up. Collective action is the ONLY way through this.

Last year ABC news gave more air time to the new royal baby in a single week than they gave to climate collapse in a year. You may feel inundated with pessimism, but that is far from universal. (Source: https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/21/ABC-News-spent-...)

I think optimism/pessimism is the wrong axis for this. It should be complacency/activism. I think MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail is more apt than ever.
>Legality doesn’t matter when the callers don’t care about the law.

A couple jail sentences would go a long way.
Good point. This is where public online reviews come in. It's a bit tricky with amazon, because for some products different sellers source slightly different versions of the product (or just knock-offs), but in theory open online review is a revolution for the customer-quality information gap.
Yeah, this is kind of the entire point of trademarks - to let non-professionals get enough information about quality to make decisions on some basis other than just price.
His central argument is that IT is only increasing productivity in open source software and does not cause any productivity improvements in businesses, which is a strange argument. But low demand also explains everything he talks about.

A lot of people forget that. They see a few people at a FAANG company making $400k and conclude that everyone at that level makes about that much.

People also disregard the infamous “4 year cliff”: At most of these companies, your initial stock offer fully vests in 4 years, so your 5th year, your take-home comp nose-dives. Even if you get modest raises and “refresh” stock grants (which not all companies do), you’re likely taking a huge hit in year 5. I’d be interested in a levels.fyi filtering out people’s first four years.

Hospitals have been known to ban certain people and refuse to treat them. This was not too much of a problem, but now that we have medicine 2.0, hospitals are now part of systems, and so a ban often extends to all hospitals in the system. For example Mayo clinic controls a large number of hospitals in a geographic area, so getting care if banned could be practically impossible. Here's an example of a dispute that led to a banning:

It's not clear what other remedy than a lawsuit would work in such a situation.

Hopefully medicine 3.0 will be better.

Yep. Learning to sift truth from noise is the key to making that work and I think we're all getting better at that now than we were in 2016.
I disagree. I think this sort of traditional, verbal logic becomes ingrained in the mind in a way that more modern logical systems don't. While we have a more rigorous, strictly correct understanding of logic now, its separation from the expression of ideas in a subset of natural language makes it harder to apply to one's day-to-day thought. I greatly value my early exposure to syllogistic logic and early Greek philosophy; I think it improved my reasoning and thereby my life.

Um, no. Very much no. Some optimism is delusion; but not all is. And your pessimism isn't realism, no matter how much you want to define it to be.
SimTower with the critical insight... people will prefer escalators to elevators when they are going 5 or less floors.
My point is that using a knob does not add safety, for exactly the reason you mentioned. It is either safe to drive one-handed at a particular moment, or it is not. Whether a knob or a touchscreen is used makes no difference -- one hand is off the wheel and your eyes are on the screen.
For many, the small disappointments have added up. Your school music program was cut, your college raised its costs, you just missed getting a good job, the recession cost you a promotion, wages haven't gone up. It's been a death by a thousand cuts for many people. We've stopped being optimistic.
> A step further, it seems most people's favourite brands tend to be ones which were high quality in the past. Its a rare situation where that quality continues as mass market appeal arrives.

Yes, I think this is a typical brand lifecycle. Somewhat niche brand gets famous due to high quality and appealing image. Brand gets bought by big group, with a lot of expertise in distribution and marketing. Quality goes downhill, prices skyrocket. Brand eventually loses appeal.

The LVMH Group does this all the time. But arguably, they don't lower quality too much.

I actually didn't know about this port, so no. It was originally built on graphql-core, but I found it difficult to use as a base for higher-level abstractions (not to mention it really is a 1-to-1 port of the JS lib and is thus incredibly un-Pythonic), so everything was written from scratch, including the parser. (Hence why it's not fully spec-compliant yet—a few GraphQL language features are still not implemented.)
Exactly. From our perspective, entropy is inevitable.

And this is true on many levels. Like, it's easier to wreck a car than build a car. Generally easier for bad things to happen than good. For good things, (and to avoid bad things) takes work, and there is limited capacity for that.

Of course we seldom stop to consider the amazing luck and circumstances that put us here in the first place.

But why should we? It's only temporary and in the rear view mirror anyway. Going forward we have the future to worry about. And the future is full of pitfalls. At least some of which are bound to get us.

From our perspective I do believe reality has a pessimistic bias. But sometimes maybe we should remember this is only our perspective.
This is also why Facebook bought Onava. Even without access via a VPN, that would have been enough information for Facebook to know that people were spending a lot of time on WhatsApp and to know that it was becoming popular. Would you be okay with that?
It's just a click bait title, especially since the last sentence in the article is "If America “decides to remove the 25% tariff, we will move the production back to China right away,” Tu said."

Doesn't sound like the era of Made in China is over if they're itching to get back.
I read the whole doc. I don't know what to think anymore. Both the opinion and dissent make sense (someone once told me "when smart people come to different conclusions, usually none of the conclusions are very stupid").

I guess the debate is about whether the hospitalist

a) had a duty, which if not done well, harm could be foreseen, and/or even acted as a "gatekeeper"; or

b) just provided advice, one of the inputs for the decision making, and/or controlled just one of the paths to treatment, and had no expectation first doctor would rely on him exclusively.

Both are argued really well. The back-and-forth between them, in the paraphrasing and footnotes, is fun to read. It's interesting to see how they use the same facts (e.g. that Dinter was assigned randomly) to draw opposite conclusions. Note that both even agree that "if Dinter breached the applicable standard of care for hospitalists, his negligence should have consequences."

Huh.

>Sadly, it's all about price.

This is the problem, but not how you are stating it.
If CEO's didn't make 300x the lowest paid employee, and "shareholders didn't demand" exponential growth quarter after quarter, then the price to be 'Not made in China' would be reasonable.

Fix these problems then the damages caused by seeking "cheapest possible AND cheaper" would be non-existant.

*NB: I am a shareholder. I want my investment to MATCH inflation not magically exceed it. If everybody stops being so greedy this is possible. (I wouldn't need to buy shares if my company and government didn't fuck up Retirement Benefits.)
That Cicada stuff is crazy!
tariffs are a poor instrument for anything except raising the price of incoming goods so that your local industries can compete. And then you're still "picking the winners and losers" by selectively applying tariffs. It's a tax that hurts consumers and helps industries. There's a place for it in well measured smart economic policy, but in almost every case it's better to use a tax (like carbon tax) than a tariff. Essentially that's what a tariff is, but calling it a tax and giving a good reason for it is a lot less likely to cause retaliatory tariffs.
It's still a confusing title. The article is about retail conversions, which of course require cutting the interior to remove useless parts. The interior space of the old buildings isn't the important part, except for one quote by the escalator hater.
At least in my college days, it didn't seem like it. It felt like a lot of professors jumped straight to the analogies rather than taking a second to just draw things out.

edit that being said, after your comment I went out and looked up "What's a pointer" to see how it is taught. Pretty much every web page I hit does exactly what I described, so, awesome :).
Maybe we should try to be patient here and assume some valid point of view - even if possibly unusual for a personal experience. That is, can we try to justify this approach?

It's like HN guidelines - "assume good intent".

Not sure what you are talking about. Smart TV do mean not having to have a separate device to do streaming such as Netflix.
Two year old news that they developed the capability to launch targeted attacks, which can use devices with a microphone?

Yawn.

There isn't any evidence that they used this capability domestically (as other comments allege), or broadly (as other comments allege), or in any way inconsistent with the usage of other bug implants used to spy on legitimate targets.

You can make the argument that the CIA shouldn't exist at all, but the frantic, breathless tone that the CIA developed a targeted recording tool is hilarious: that's their job.

Come back with evidence of wrong doing.

Also, the title should likely include the word "Some", to differentiate it from US government dragnets.

Also also, all of the Vault 7 leaks were a big "nothing": just a leak of US capabilities, with nothing that showed wrong-doing in the style of the Snowden or even the Manning leaks. I hope Joshua Schulte spends a long time in prison.

If that answer was adequate, Apple wouldn't have to audit apps to ensure they're not abusing the contacts permission.

The potential for abuse and erosion of user trust seems orders of magnitude larger than the apps we are missing out on by not having such an API.

“It’s about price because consumers can’t measure by anything else.”

Neither can statisticians so that’s why I don’t put any trust in CPI numbers (“inflation”). They don’t even track amount sold (I.e. did the 355 ml pop become 340ml?) how are they going to track quality???
It is enough to be used as evidence, it isn't enough, by itself, to definitively prove identity. It might be enough to get a subpoena to image the computers at the IP address.

I have no idea why I never considered this possibility. That's terrifying.
Disclaimer: I worked on initial Red Hat article linked above.

In my personal AWS instance from the last few days less than half a percent of the traffic had hit the firewall rule to log the error.

Most of that traffic seemed to come from the China, this was possibly port probing / portscans or really old hardware accessing my the server.

I would say that the iptables rule is a 'better' solution than dropping sack as you may find you use significantly more CPU/bandwidth when dealing with retransmits when not using selective acknowledgements.
It's not necessarily local - these aren't what I'd call high end or "hipster" type markets, just regular supermarkets. They'll bring in stuff from southern Italy, or Spain or wherever is convenient.

But they do pay attention to quality because their customers want that.
Don’t forget that not everyone at these big companies are making these outsized compensations. If the data is self-reported then I’d bet dollars to donuts that this skews the averages super high. Few people feel the urge to log their below-average salary for the world to see. I’d take self reported salary data and anecdotes with a huge grain of salt.
End-to-end encryption isn't perfect, but it would at least make it considerably harder to track people on someone else's service - especially as compared to the owner of the service. Plus, Google or Facebook can cross-correlate tons of different users behavior rather than narrowly spying on one single link (or several links, but still).

When I was reading that, I was expecting a much higher number than the one I ended up reading.

That's < the cash Apple has on hand, approximately as much revenue as they make a year.

That's 1/2 of the annual U.S. military budget.

If you annualize that by the 10 years it was spent in, the only discretionary funding significantly less than that is Food and Agriculture.

Yes. I think taiwan was/is a leader in Carbon Fiber. 90s carbon-fiber-glued-to-aluminum bikes were all made from CF tubing that was made in taiwan, by Giant (that last detail I'm a little less sure on, made in taiwan for certain). Specialized, Trek, and Giant all had very similar bikes available at that time, conventional geometries with Shimano 600 (I've got one, I love it). Modern monocoque designs are a little more diverse in design, but I think all but the highest end are made in taiwan.
BTC/Tether and BTC/USD are different trading pairs. If they printed a trillion tethers tomorrow and started buying bitcoins with them presumably people at some point would be unwilling to exchange BTC for tether.

Not really. I used to drive an Saab turbo from the 80s that got close to 30mpg. Old civics pushed 40. 34 mpg isn’t really an improvement over that.
In all honesty, I've seen more examples of armored trucks (a much rarer vehicle) forcing cyclists onto the curb than of buses doing so. One episode was particularly memorable since I was the cyclist... happily, it seems that armored trucks all have a "how am I driving?" number painted on the back.

I have another point of view here - there's power in overcoming adversity. Nearly every movie produced tells you that. But your average American doesn't face real adversity anymore. We are extremely comfortable. Extremely safe. But there's something inside us that needs this adversity, it needs to triumph, to overcome challenges. This is why we run marathons, punish ourselves in the gym, climb mountains. Some of us, at least. Most of us don't. So, we make up these stories in our minds. These fake enemies, these challenges-in-perception-only. If we can convince our social circles that these adversities are real (even absent the reality of ever actually experiencing them), well, we've put ourselves in a better place. We're victims. We're fighters. We're warriors!

That's a bit reductionist and dramatic, but when you cut through the bullshit, this is happening every single day around us. Nobody wants to admit how easy their life is, how very rare actual, significant adversities are. It's part of human nature. For the time being, at least.
