I don't think anyone is forcing Kantian ethics on the CCP. If they are, it's not working very well. :)

But I'm glad we can trace some disagreements regarding whether specific actions are ethical back to differing ideologies. If we can abstract some of these ideas it should be easier to have conversations that are a bit removed from emotional factors.
They aren't!

Years ago they used to be common on the backs of cars, so you could look where you were parking. Vans and estate cars invariably had them.

But now?

Backup cameras.

Same with the original lighthouse application. They don't use Fresnel lenses any more.

The lighting tech used for aircraft has superceded the Fresnel tech of old. So lighthouses are done differently now.

Even in home applications Fresnel lenses don't last the distance, You don't have hacky Fresnel lenses in products to make up for them having a naff CRT for the image.

But then again, Fresnel lenses do live on, but in better ways. There are many compound lenses for lights that are not a classic Fresnel lens but work nicely.
It's even worse in the UK. Someone can put an encrypted file on a thumb drive and put it in your belongings. You're required by law to give passwords in the UK and if you're unable to, you just go to prison.

It works if you own the house, but yes for over 5 tenants renting becomes a total pain due to "equal" tenant laws. Only in areas which allow "master" tenant does this end up working - you have to have a smaller set that is ultimately responsible for the home, else nobody is.

Until Java gets data classes it will make you miserable. Lambdas are clunky in Java at best. "Much better to work with" than Java 1.3 is setting a pretty low bar.
SQL implementations are most likely written in C or some systems level language. It is a language built on top of another language. A higher level language built on a lower level one. It is therefore by definition a higher abstraction and thus since the nature of the comparison is based off abstractions the comparison is apt since it fits the definition of the word. What you think is different then facts defined by words, and therefore your thinking: that you can't compare C++ to SQL falls in the face of facts.

You don't even need to declare yourself as antinatalism, simply answering the simple question question of "do you have kids" with "my wife and I decided against that" seems enough to get most people on the defensive. As if my own life choices not matching theirs is some sort of threat or inherent criticism to their choices.
Not just lost; you can make them drive exactly where you want them to go. As long as a human is behind the wheel this won't be terribly effective except as a disruptive tactic, but once there's nobody behind the wheel you could use this to hijack any autonomous car and make it drive where you want it to drive. This might be especially effective when using autonomous vehicles for long-range shipping, where you could force the truck to drive to a warehouse under your control where you can then steal its cargo.

The better feedback loop actually makes it worth it. Yes, we don't get soundness and performance when programming in TypeScript, but we do get better feedback in the editor along with great escape hatches for customizing types as needed. I don't know if I ever can go back to a sound statically typed language again, actually, TypeScript is just way too useful.
There's a lot of differences - Japan actually has great zoning and land use laws, and zoning is nationally controlled, so homeowners can't abuse it to raise their own property prices like in California. That's what the "traffic" complaints are excuses for.

As a result, housing in Tokyo is a lot cheaper than you'd expect it to be. Still, the issues with public housing aren't surprising. I'm not sure you can get evicted from Section 8 apartments in the US for making more money, but it wouldn't surprise me.

No rewriting needed. Hooks are just another way to do what was already possible in a more well-defined way. All the content written is still applicable. Now there is just a new way to do things too.

There's that, but in the mean time (especially at US cost levels), the additional marginal cost added to the health care system is likely to kill a number of other people with eminently TREATABLE conditions, e.g. because they need to gamble with their insulin supplies for cost reasons.

No way. Who is going to fund billions of dollars of construction that will crash the market? Nobody.

Commercial real estate is about cashing in quickly and selling shares of accelerated depreciation. Not gonna happen.

Woke rich people will continue to feel good about not chasing off the homeless people sleeping behind the garbage can and cash in. When the market tanks, they’ll walk away.
Thats what I and my friends do do - however, in the areas of these homes the cost can be absolutely gargantuan to buy - like completely out of range. A $3mil house is $15,200 per month just for the mortgage, round up other expenses to around $18,000. Its very hard to get 10 people together that can afford $1800/mo that wouldn't prefer their own place, and as the amount of people go up the risk of people moving in and out constantly goes higher.

We live in a $600k large house and pay a lot less. We may upgrade eventually, but keeping a group of people together for that long can be difficult - even if socially there's a lot of cohesion, most often its a job opportunity that requires someone to move.

I guess it's maybe a cultural thing, I've heard that the Japanese still place a lot of emphasis on handwriting letters and notes. Meanwhile there's people in my office who haven't touched a pen in weeks.

Yes I read the parent. However, a lot of people are mentally/physically able to drive who have trouble walking around city streets. Personal circumstances differ of course. But cities are certainly not automatically easier for infirm people to get around.

Yep, many projects grow to a point where it’s literally impossible for anyone to keep track of the full data model in their head. At that point, you end up needing to refer back to schemas and/or jump around the codebase constantly in order to to get anything done.

My iPad Pro is my favourite portable device that I wouldn't want to give up. Definitely not a feeling I have about my Macbook nor my iPhone.

I felt the same way about my MacBook Air. It's been my constant companion since 2011 to a dozen countries and dozens more cities. Love that machine.

This past April my wife bought me an iPad. The last three trips I took were with the 'Pad instead of the Air. I'm really surprised how useful that little thing is.

I feel like I can go back to a feature phone now.

They should spend their money as long as the current working population is large enough to satisfy the massive demand of the retirees. The workforce is shrinking over a long time frame. In 20 years there might be more pension money than there are workers to fulfill the demand. The end result is inflation because everyone is bidding prices up. Even if you double their savings, the end result could be zero because the inflation will eat the savings up. However, I don't think this is a big deal for the current boomer generation unless their average life expectancy suddenly reaches 90 but by the time I retire I wouldn't be surprised if there are labor shortages in developed countries.

The non-touchbar version has 2 fewer USB-C ports inexplicably. So they're paying for the touchbar and 2 extra ports, all in all.
No, but they're pretty bad compared to FB or Google, especially for NYC or SF.
Same thing though. Once you get a fix it's all satellite. Maybe if you're deep in a valley between mountains you'll have an issue as the mountains will block most of the sky, but as long as you can get signal from a few satellites you should be good. Satellites don't care how remote you are, only what around you is blocking the signal.
Why would they keep all the other numbers the same? They could raise the cost to list an app. They could charge extra for a "verified by Apple" designation. Charging monthly fees to be listed in the app store at all. Any of these would raise the bar on mere submissions to the app store, and beyond that supply a positive signal to the end user. There are plenty more options along these lines, too, but conventional business practice is to preserve the illusion that the internet is $free.

I don't care how much it costs, though, and I don't think Zuck cares either. If FB remains unmoderated it will invariably turn in to a shithole and people will go elsewhere rather than wading through a bunch of racist anti-vax cartoons just to find out where their friends are meeting for lunch next week. FB has plenty of money to pay as many human moderators as it would take to stop complaints, in all languages, but they won't. Where FB might go bankrupt if they don't implement brakes on reach, they'd just as soon prefer to go bankrupt rather than hire humans to do the work.

>there's people in my office who haven't touched a pen in weeks.

After I realized in my second year of university that I cannot read my own notes, I switched to the laptop as my primary note-making tool. That's been... almost two decades ago.

I'll take a dry marker to architect and brainstorm on whiteboard any day of the week; but I touch pens very very little (and if I have to make notes, I'll do block capitals; I can do cursive of course... I just never do. I had an interesting conversation with a school principal who insisted cursive is a core skill that should never be omitted. I view it as calligraphy - a historically relevant and necessary mechanism that today is a quaint way of expressing your uniqueness and artistic prowess, but certainly not a mandatory aspect of modern living)
In practice though most lenses and applications move away from being Fresnel. The lights get better or a camera or other screen technology replaces it.

Fresnel lenses are like motorbike sidecars, they are a cheap hack. But if I was to post 'you don't see motorbike sidecars these days' then some nitpicker on HN would Google search a new Kickstarter project of a motorbike sidecar and - two seconds later - mod me down for being generally but not universally correct.

As I understand it the Nikon lenses are not 'Fresnel' as we know it. The idea is to combine a regular lens with a Fresnel lens to remove chromatic aberration. The weight saving isn't what it is about since there is still a regular lens that the Fresnel lens works with.
You are begging the question, explaining their approach as a success instead of explaining how it is a success.
I get your point but I've never seen anything to support your oil filter claim. My 2010 BMW has a cartridge style oil filter which should be removable by hand. My dad's 1948 Oldsmobile also has a cartridge style oil filter but it requires a wrench to remove the bolt holding it together. Both the BMW and the Oldsmobile put the filter in an easily accessible place under the hood.

In between we had canister style filters (like on my old Toyota) which may or may not require tools to remove depending on the incompetence of your mechanic. I've never seen an oil filter that needed to be installed so tight you need a tool.
This.

I inherited legacy Python projects at work and I'm shocked by the time I'm wasting fighting with the lack of types. Most of the time I have no idea (and my IDE neither) what methods and properties are available on variables and function parameters. And what's the most insane to me: I'm sitting next to people with LOT of experience in Python and I see them losing as much time as me when maintaining and debugging some basic piece of code they have written not even 2 weeks ago.

To be over-reductive:

If you're at -3 due to symptoms, whichever treatment minimizes those symptoms like +3, but the given treatment(s) have short and/or long term adverse effects that are -1, that's a net gain.

But different people assign unnamed different constants with different magnitudes to different things.
Must be pretty subjective; while I can certainly see how it could be satisfying, and very much believe there is difference between cheap & quality stuff; but I've personally always found the chalkboard experience grating and "sharp", whereas a good dry marker feels "smooth", "muted" and "elegant" :-/

You can absolutely create a culture where there's a shared amount of base concepts though. Communities form in code around those vocabularies - if you have no shared vocabulary you don't have a team, you have a bunch of individuals.

The Next Big Privacy Concern Is Up in the Air
If you don't assume the model has predictive power, then why bother listing it as a source? The real issue is what you say in the second part of your comment, people don't want the city to change. So in an attempt to live in a world that doesn't exist any more they try to hold back change and hope Prop 13 will allow them to wait out all the interlopers.

The city has changed and its a hellscape. No one can live there unless they bought their house in the early 90's or before. Teachers, Police, Firefighters, and every other kind of public servant is paid below the poverty line for the city they are supposed to serve. Low income people are forced further and further out, and entire economic sectors are starting to experience people insolvency. The city is being slowly turned into a monoculture of tech workers, and office buildings. The only thing the people of the city can bring themselves to do is try to legislate ever more controls on change and try to keep the city in some sort of 80's time warp. However they just banned selling e-cigarettes, and passed a law making sure the government doesn't use facial recognition software so I guess they don't feel the crisis of homelessness or high rents is something that should be given their attention.

OK I understand the definition, but the idea men should work themselves to death is not one actually held by society at large. Is it only Japanese Male toxicity? Why don't other places have this idea is it just because Japan is not enlightened?

I don't think so. In my opinion it's about the workforce being traditionally male, not that it's a masculine idea to overwork yourself. That's why the argument doesn't hold water to me across a global population. That's why it's not a masculine idea and not toxic masculinity, men don't believe it and it's not a generally held belief about men. In my experiences men and women go home at roughly the same time and there are not problems relating to gender there.

And you can't blanket your argument by saying 'when we discuss toxic masculinity this is what we mean' because that is exactly what is being debated. I was strictly talking about the article not your personal issues they are not the same thing.
