I believe you may be thinking of the 2010 Open Internet Order. That was the net neutrality order that was struck down in court. The court said that Section 706 did not provide sufficient authority for the regulation, but Title II would if ISPs were reclassified.

The Wheeler FCC set about to restoring net neutrality consistent with the court's ruling. Wheeler proposed doing so without reclassification by basically keeping those things that the court had not had a problem with and dropping those things that needed Title II. The main such thing dropped was the ban against paid prioritization. In that proposal, he also asked for comments on reclassification.

The comments overwhelmingly supported reclassification and he went with that, issuing the 2015 Open Internet order, which reclassified ISPs under Title II with most Title II provisions forborne and imposed net neutrality.

Welp, that's the end of my 2011 Macbook Air. Sigh. There are already 6 incompatible updates out. Plus the recent iOS update ended support for my iPhone, so that's on the way to joining my iPad and iPod Touch.
Can we put this into perspective? The Venezuelan economy is in shambles, a hyperinflationary crisis that has forced millions out of the country as food is so scarce people are forced to eat zoo animals and pets. The government is illegitimate and destroying aid trucks trying to bring food and medical supplies to their people.

But here we are, complaining that the well-connected wealthy at the top of this mess can't get a refund for their purchase of Adobe Photoshop. Given that Maduro has nationalized nearly all of the major corporations in the nation, you necessarily can't be wealthy enough to own this software without being an open ally.

This action hurts people in that country, but it's supposed to hurt because until they get rid of their self-destructive government things won't begin to get better.

Yes. I use Krita.
I think that's unfair to audio developers. You're asking for a real-time scenario from an obvious not real-time OS. Dropping audio is a lot more obvious than dropping video frames. Audio also deals with /a lot/ of plugins both hardware and software--many paid (years ago and now abandoned). Most people I know with an audio setup are very sensitive to physical changes due to subtle problems.

I also think it's unrealistic for large applications to be 100% ready on day one. It's not like Apple has a GM ready weeks ago. Betas are known to change and nobody really knew when Catalina would ship (many people are surprised they're shipping what they have).
We are talking about one of the richest companies on the planet that makes by far the largest margins on their laptops and desktops in the industry. If any company is equipped to offer 32 bit legacy support for the benefit of their users it is Apple.
Funny how it's so easy to forget this when you're the big player now.
It's possible to build CPUs with many times the Z80's transistor count by hand¹, albeit with great effort and taking up a heck of a lot of space (and probably nowhere near the speeds of a single-chip Z80).

I've often wondered whether a 100% inheritance tax is the answer to all of this.

You can privilege your children with a private education, tuition, etc. You can't leave them any of your wealth.

If your kids are under 18 when you die, then they can receive a dividend but at 18 that ends. Your spouse should be able to take care of themselves, and not rely on your wealth.

No need for any other taxes whatsoever. Am I missing something?
All the things you didn't know you wanted to know about data structures
It can. And that gold sits around until the Germanic tribes invade Rome and take it all. Major upheavals affect all systems.
That makes sense, I see that the two implementations do agree on coordinates for the same words, which is very slick. I am trying to imagine how reverse-engineering would make that possible? I suppose it means that W3W used some known word list, and in patterns that could be pulled out of their results?
Whoever renders the text. Since most applications delegate to the OS for that, it's typically the OS. The OS generally follows whatever the jurisdiction it's sold in requires. In theory an application could override it by doing custom rendering of these codepoints.

The unicode standard doesn't care, as explained above, since it just defines an alphabet and takes no position in which country/locale codes are to be rendered with a flag.
The disruptor isn’t single threaded at all. Maybe you mean it can pin a core to a consumer that just busy waits on the queue. That is a common technique used in very low latency systems when not running on a real time OS.
> also, why are deep fakes (particularly political ones) not protected under constitution?

The same reason other damaging deliberate falsehoods are not.
There are alternatives for pretty much anything these days.
They could just come out and say something like: "Although the sanctions only strictly speaking apply to the government and 150 individuals/entities, we have determined that the financial cost and legal risk of determining whether a customer is one of the sanctioned entities is commercially unfeasible, therefore we have decided that the only commercially feasible way for us to implement the sanctions is to block the country of Venezuela entirely."

i.e. Do the same thing they are doing now, just be more open and honest about their reasons.
yes, that makes sense, thanks!
Lots of people don't realize this, but R is very similar to JavaScript. Shiny apps offer a nice functional web framework too.
Look at any story that concerns China or the CCP, you see similar patterns of comments and downvotes. It's tempting to believe the CIA/CCP are waging information warfare on HN of all places but if we are to believe dang it's just because it's political and people knee-jerk respond in kind with their ideology. That is more logical but upsetting to some people because it suggests there are people who massively disagree with them.
Less JS is always better, but if you're using Intercooler.js, are you really creating an app with "zero lines of JS"?

FWIW, a downvote shortly after posting is a common occurence for comments on front page articles. Almost every comment I've had in the past 10 years that eventually hit double-digit points went to zero or -1 within minutes of posting.
An excellent place to get a loan
This is an excellent place to get a loan. The workers here are friendly, patient, and make you feel like your family. They really work with you if you are struggling to make your payments. The loan application is very simple and easy.... Advance Loans was a blessing for me I hope that it can be a blessing for someone else.... They also have a referral program where they pay you too for sending people to them. I highly recommend using the Western Loan Finance to finance your next home www.westernloanfinance.com
I agree with most of your points. However, these articles are mostly focused on removing cars from the ultra high-density areas where they are ineffective. Going from NYC to the Adirondacks for a backpacking trip? Can't beat a car. Going from the Upper West Side to Wall Street? Please don't drive, it makes everything worse for everyone, including yourself.

My personal opinion is that the HN crowd likes looking at transit in large cities as a complex optimization problem. There are a ton of variables to play with, and we're currently so far away from anything approaching optimum. Cars downtown give me the same feeling as a 10MB web site that has two paragraphs of content. We can do better than this.
The GIS community has a bunch of stuff for local govt. Just google "GIS small town". Maps/Dashboards (of issues) to track things basically - road repairs, streetlighting, sewage/water monitoring, zoning/taxes, utilities etc etc.

Tell me about it. I use only Lightroom for my personal needs, but I need to pay for PS as well even if I’ve never used it. I contacted their support a couple time about that and the chat person always become silent at some point.
That seems like one of many plausibly optimal approaches, but no one is able to see the future.

The time for such conversations is long past, and it certainly wasn't me assuring people that this massive experiment will undoubtedly work out just fine.

but also memes do this, albeit to a lesser degree of similarity, right? i see peoples images with unspoken quotations over their face all the time. i see people with quotes almost akin to something they actually said, but either reworded or stripped of context. is it the audio that counts? the video? or do we require both to be enough of a falsehood to prosecute?
I'm liberal. I'm frequently frustrated and disappointed with the NYT - to the point that I have elected NOT to subscribe as I do with several other publications despite consuming only digitally.

However, this article does a very poor job of summarizing my frustrations with the NYT so often doing little more than repeating the arguments of both sides without validation or investigation. It mentions "non-newsworthy articles", but, in NYT-style, does little to prove the claim beyond offering two anecdotes.

I suppose this article DOES explain my frustrations well, by means of example rather than explanation.
The author says that he/she listens to Chapo Trap House. Yeah that is not a "leftist comedy podcast", its a radical cesspool of insecure communists who openly joke about genocide and think that authoritarian regimes are hip. He/she doesn't like the New York Times because they still hold some semblance of objective journalism instead of being an outright propaganda outlet. I just also wanted to point out how hilarious it was that he/she immediately identified themselves as an alcoholic with no children or spouse, in the first paragraph of the diatribe that clumped out of her back end.

Ask HN: News alerts when a startup shuts down?
When a startup company decides to shut down, there are talented engineers who are looking for their next job.

I think it would be really useful to have a news feed of any startup company that is shutting down. Other startups could reach out (via LinkedIn, or via email to candidates who opt-in) and let them know of cool open startup jobs.

* Does this already exist somewhere? (Angellist etc)

* Would this type of alert be too late? (Because employees often look for new jobs before the company publicly shuts down)

Seems like it could be helpful to both employees and potential employers, if done in the right way.

Thoughts?
How is confirm shaming a dark pattern? It puts more factual detail near the yes or no options so people know what they're agreeing to or declining.
But you still gotta run the 'web app' somewhere, responding on some port (even if only on localhost)?
We already have way too many people on the planet. if no one died, it would cause all our environmental problems, lack of wealth problems to multiply.

Actually, I think we need to get our population down to a much lower level where we're not stressing our the planet and not stressing the limited resources we have. politically speaking, we just can't handle this many people on the planet.
I wonder why couldn't they just make the open source version address their needs...
It's true we include Intercooler.js and jQuery in our web app. What I meant is that as developers working on our web app, we don't need to write JS to implement new features. All of the logic happens in the Django codebase.
> Although the sanctions only strictly speaking apply to the government and 150 individuals/entities,

They officially apply to anyone who has ever, directly or indirectly, done anything on behalf of the government, or of those identified individuals and entities. So, if they made your presentation, it would be an inaccurate minimization of the plain language of the executive order.
Your Audi went from $65,000.00 to $31.50? That's a huge value hit.

Consistency matters.
Cars were fast, in the sixties and seventies. There was space on roads. I used to enjoy the "freedom of the open road". Miles of twisty roads with just a few roadblocks to navigate around. Even better on a motorbike...

Not any more. Now a car is an expensive pain in the ass and aside from in the early hours, roads are pretty much constantly full. Full enough that even a motorcycle isn't quite the fun or freedom it was when I passed my test 40 years ago.

Anything that reverses the trend to a car (self-driven or not) being a necessity is good in my book. I'd far rather have an infrastructure that promotes public transport and cycling like the Netherlands does.

The sooner we get back to streets safe for children to play in, the better.

I won't play tit-for-tat with equally emotive and useless links to stories about people having watches and wallets lifted at lights etc.
Dying from air pollution to own the citylab writers
I am not a bot or a shill, but I upvote the articles you're describing whenever I see them, because I'm very interested in public transit and urban planning and enjoy discussing alternatives to automobile-centric cities and lifestyles.
I miss the Web of Documents, TBH. I miss the WWW that belonged mainly to hackers and weirdos, the one that existed before corporations started looking for ways to monetize attention. The modern web feels more and more like cable TV with more spyware and a veneer of interactivity.

This is so, so wrong it's delusional. The occupied homes that are left from 100+ years ago are there because they are solid construction.

> Who gets to decide what constitutes "character"? Who gets to decide that "character" trumps affordability? Who gets to decide when "character" supersedes property rights?

This is so ridiculous. Character does not come at the cost of affordability. And ok, would you still make the same decision to replace an SFH with an affordable condo if the current residents were impoverished? Spoiler: the new condo to take its place won't actually be affordable to the previous occupants.

> These things change with age as facades are updated, repaired, and replaced

Every aesthetic change I make to my century-old home honors the original character of the house. Most others do the same.

> Our cities have been so slavishly devoted to fictionalized imaginings of their own pasts that we are impoverishing real people today.

Your entire thoughts are so incredibly delusional that it's borderline offensive. Not fiction, and SFHs is not impeding housing for the impoverished. Downtown, SLU, and Belltown are going through an absolute explosion of housing growth. The city and real estate developers are the ones you should be targeting, they've got the biggest lever to make housing affordable.
The most common is an internal CA server (certificate authority) that needs to generate many certs on demand.
Sure maybe it would look like that if Tesla were in fact Amazon. But Tesla makes cars, they don't sell tablecloths and rent servers.

There is very high operating leverage in Automotive manufacturing. Hence why this cycle continues forever:

Elon: That's it, we don't need to raise anymore outside capital!
9 months later: Insert equity/bond/convert raise here.
That would highly discourage anyone from investing in anything that lasts longer than themselves- probably disastrous consequences
They should make the public transport cheaper. At least as cheap so that gas for driving alone in a car is more expensive. Even among other big cities in the Netherlands Amsterdam per km rate for public transport (€0.162 p/km) is quite high.
And they shouldn't have to. Developers should support their working equipment by updating drivers. They've known about the transition to 64-bit for years and it's not something that can just be ignored because all the hardware is now 64-bit. It's not like this was done on a lark.
Not only that, assuming we're not trying to hyperoptimize before code ever hits production, typically as a dev I look for performance gains when a bottleneck/slowdown seems to occur. Redis is a possibility I guess, but it's also not in the top 20 places I'm going to look first. It's plenty fast for nearly every use case I've come across and while I'm sure someone out there needs something faster, I agree - I can't imagine there's broad market appeal for it.

So good and brilliant. I'm a huge fan of Amber A’Lee Frost.
> The whole 32/64 bit thing doesn't seem too bad

Homebrew has some broken packages, e.g. trying to run Midnight Commander dumps a nice "Bad CPU type in executable" message.
Where would you reasonably commute from where cycling or public transport wouldn't be good options? I'm moving to Amsterdam (probably Amsterdam-Zuid) next year, and unless I go waaaay outside the city, I can get to the center from almost anywhere in less than 25 minutes. I never use public transport in the US, but when I'm in Amsterdam I take it everywhere. Once I'm more comfortable with biking there, that will be even faster (though for the moment it's a bit nerve-wracking).

Electric scooters are around, though. There are a ton of mopeds at the moment, but I share your suspicion that they'll eventually be banned (and I don't totally hate the idea -- Amsterdam would be incredibly quiet without them).
this looks like a good read, thanks for the rec
Pretty much, CLT is basically plywood with very thick laminations.
Decision fatigue is killing the knowledge worker. What can we do about it?
A zero percent inheritance tax plus not exempting inheritance from normal income tax would be more fair.

(With generous provisions for advance recognizing income at the taxpayers discretion or for deferring recognition of windfalls that significantly exceed prior income.)
I’ve also been wondering about Dymo label printers. I haven’t seen anything when I searched - if anyone knows, I’d like to learn!
This isn't just an OS thing, though, so I think that's crap. This change is a hardware change that's been forecast for literally years. To dismiss it as "playing catch up with Apple's policies" is nonsense.
> Miles of twisty roads with just a few roadblocks to navigate around.

Roadblocks? Why were there roadblocks?
The "Fediverse" is close, but I think we need to go a step further and build a community of self-hosted, peer-to-peer services. While federation is a great first step, it still requires _someone_ to manage a server of N users...
This is what excites me about this project. Another commenter posted the NandToTetris course, which is along the same lines. Computers/software are so complicated now, so much understanding gets lost in the upper levels of abstraction. Everything just seems like black box magic.
Do you have any specific examples of what would break because of this?
Because you're immediately dismissing a whole set of thought with random anecdotes.

The only way that policy decisions should be made is with hard data. Policy decisions shouldn't be made on the basis of little girls getting stabbed by needles, just like they're not made on the basis of people getting hit by lightning.

Yes, there's circumstances where cars are essential.

Dense urban environments are not it. There's a massive set of negative externalities that cars and the mindset that people should never have to walk more than twenty feet between their front door and their destination bring. They've lead to greatly reduced quality of life in these urban areas.
What city did actually function before the invention of individual motorized traffic? Rome? London? Would you want to live there back then as a simple citizen?

I'm not a macOS user, but if the situation is anything like on Windows, then luck has nothing to do with it. The updates by and large work just fine for almost everyone, but with such a widely deployed product you inevitably will still see hundreds or thousands of people that experience issues.
The U.S. doesn't recognize Taiwan as a state, but that's how it's typically shown in the U.S. Though it's also quite easy to see various alternatives. And Taiwan is hardly the only example of this.

The U.S. has no laws requiring specific depictions, nor does its government cajole movie producers to depict regions in certain ways. Many countries are similar. Map makers choose borders largely based on what they expect their audience wants or needs.
Photoshop/Lightroom are $100/yr combined (sometimes less if you can get a deal on the subscription card). At that price, you're still looking at significantly less than if you used to upgrade your old software every 5 years.
Selling actual software licenses again that don't require connecting to a remote server to use? Like the had for over a decade. They could still do point release updates on-line, but the software itself should come with a license key that just works without needing to validate over the Internet.

Even if they didn't want to do that, they could do the Jetbrains perpetual fall-back license model where if you hold a license for version x for a year, you get to keep version x. You still get version y when it comes out, but if you cancel before a certain time, it will fall back to your license for x forever, until you pay your subscription again.
KT has been out of maintenance for years and doesn't have all the higher-level useful data structures and operations that Redis does. There are lot of options if you just wanted fast key/value with persistence from ScyllaDB, Tarantool, LMDB, RocksDB, etc.

The benefits of cars are obvious. Nobody needs an article to point them out, just like how we don't need articles extolling the incredible energy density and wide availability of gasoline.

The articles are here to point out the non-obvious downsides of cars, and people upvote them because they find them interesting.
I am curious, did you perspective regarding the freedom cars grant change when you got older and, if you had children, follow that development? I find that most people use the "for the children" argument online, even though cars hurt everyone who lives in a city, just children disproportionately.
