Perhaps I’m overly optimistic. I’m also optimistic enough to believe that the comment I responded to wasn’t aiming to be condescending; the phrasing was the kind of thing that could very well have sounded jovial in speech among friends. I tend to think that’s the more common failing here: people type the way they’d speak if they were having a chat at the pub after work, and a lot of nuance burns off in the speech-to-text conversion.

Discrimination at the education level made sure that very few companies could do that. Discrimination at the military draft made sure to ship out the maximum of African Americans to die in the war. In addition the African American demographic had significant less money that other demographics, and discrimination against lower classes has always been a source for fear and hostility.

You add all those up and you get most of the equality and fairness of 1955 African American life. None of it can be applied to women in 2019.

Started as a joke here on HN, there is a series of predictions based on a numerical correspondence between the intervals [1436,+\infty) and [1969,+\infty), where:

- 1436 is the invention of the printing press and

- 1969 is the start of the ARPANET.

Many of them are postdictions (to validate the correspondence) but the funny thing is that the series ends in the year 2024, where there is a sort of singularity, because the interval [1436,1969] maps to [1969,2024].

> forgetting a small slice of data from a large set a complicated and nearly impossible task to accomplish.

We use Kafka as our storage for almost everything, and we managed to solve this by encrypting all user data that is relevant to GDPR and trowing away the key when asked for a removal.

if a user asks to be forgotten, we commit a empty privacy key for this user and compress the privacykeys topic and all is done, no service will be able to decrypt it anymore.

So far it has been a good solution and it was easy to implement on all our services.
The relevant code is DIN 18014. And it distinguishes between different kinds of ground plate. Some are considered sufficiently "earth-feeling" to be considered ground themselves, others require separate corrosion-resistant grounding to be put in the earth around them.

There are three things that bother me:

1. Using "true story," then telling a very general story without any citation. That he did it twice was worrying.

2. People like the writer who treat our current understanding of science as if it were a religious text that is complete. Science is an ongoing process of discovery and experimentation to try to further our understanding of the world. The fact that it's wrong is kinda the point, because it motivates us to challenge the assumptions underlying our theories.

3. The story about his mother losing her job is likely true, but the way he tells is seems like it purposely omits relevant information.

For example, he says his mother lost her job as a "social worker," but according to this wedding announcement (https://www.nytimes.com/1988/03/06/style/alexandra-roosevelt...), she was the Director of Social Services at Hillcrest Convalescent Hospital in Long Beach, CA.

I also checked the Federal Register for that date, and it seems that the change also included an exception to the bachelors degree requirement, provided the individual had two years experience. His claim in the article that his mother had 20 years of experience should have been sufficient.

Apple operating systems are on a semantic versioning system with regards to API. The idea is that API only break on the major version update which is released each year (ignoring that a the OS X version has a "10" in front of it).

Non-breaking API additions and userspace features which do not impact API can be rolled out throughout the year though. There are also changes to private API throughout the year since the Apple apps using them are distributed with that operating system release.

Generally, API grow up as private API that get adopted by other Apple apps, then may get promoted to public once they are stable and maintainable.

IMHO, the big issue with iOS 13 and Catalina this year was that there were several huge developer features and internal system refactoring which were maturing during beta. This slows down everyone who is dependent upon those features. The solution there is to require public API to have a higher level of maturity before that beta 1 release.

I disagree that Apple is waterfall, because their release dates are fixed, and they will change what will be delivered to make that date. I don't know if a twice annual major feature releases (and corresponding WWDC summer and WWDC winter) fixes anything, or if it just makes the life of third party developers harder.
I think you’d find most of the court proceedings under Novell vs Microsoft.

That's not accurate. For years I have run Linux (Debian and Gentoo mostly) on various architectures, including on an old PowerBook Pismo (G3) and an IBM Power 5, and I have rarely encountered architecture related limitations.

True, you will encounter issues (proprietary software, arch specific software (ex: chromium)), but these are not the norm. Wet fingering it, I would say at least 95% of packages worked without any issue, and this includes big things like Firefox, Libreoffice, OpenJDK, Apache...

I was a bit sad when Debian dropped support for ppc32.

I don't get author's complaint about reinstalling Windows every few months, imho it is completely insane. Even in the age of Win95/98 I never had a need to re-install more than once a year maybe and I was in school at that time and all software was downloaded from shady sources. Now - there is zero need to re-install at all, I only do it when I change hardware platform completely - storage, MB etc.

Same with "unsolicited popups". What are you using that does this? Windows itself shows me reboot needed popup once a few months maybe and that's about it. Some software can show it's own popup when I launch it and it is often relevant.

Windows is not perfect and Linux is great (and not perfect too) but really, some complaints about Windows seems to be straight from late 90s, with custom virus packaged Win98 distributives on torrents.
Of course no one wants to bike into the city when it's full of speeding cars. In France they've adopted a different attitude. Montpellier for instance has built many parking buildings at the city limits, an integrated urban transportation network while shrinking vehicle lanes and transforming them into dedicated tram lanes, bicycle lanes or pedestrian areas. They've also introduced obstacels and lots of wavy turns to make speeding through the city very hard or impossible. If you want to go anywhere by car you're virtually stuck in a never ending traffic jam. I just wonder what infrastructure ambulances, police and the fire brigade use to go from one place to another when there's an emergency. Maybe they use the dedicated tram lanes.
Transporting energy long distances seems like such a waste. There's the cost of transporting fossil fuels or power lines for electricity.

What economics would it take for your mine to have its own solar or nuclear powered microgrid. What about when fossil fuel supplies are unreliable or interrupted.

A "simple" change could affect the way cars and bikes interact on the roads.

> I rode a bike with a toddler in a toddler seat on the back until I was 8 months pregnant. You can also get little "cars" to tow behind your bike to hold two kids.

As adults, I can understand the appeal of being car free, but I can't help but be struck by how dangerous it seems to commute on a bike pregnant with a toddler onboard.

I'm imagining biking down Market St, 8 months pregnant, with a toddler seat and two kids in tow. That's a lot of faith that nobody's going to open a car door at the wrong time or pull out into traffic without looking. I know fit dudes in their 20s that have had accidents and been seriously injured. I've never thought of myself as particularly risk adverse, but wow that seems risky.
This is probably a function of distances between living space and work. Beyond 10 km the car catches up and starts to get ahead in total travel time.
Public transport is meant to close this gap but there's not enough for people, much less bicycles, especially long distance. So it gets crowded. The car is universal until you run out of parking space.

I think the idea of spending one-on-one time at random is wonderful. It helps you break unconscious patterns and get to know people you otherwise might miss out on learning more about.
There was a time before cars. People didn't just entrap their kids and mother at home. We've just made it unworkable due to redesigning things for cars.

Cars only work with kids due to most people having smaller families these days. I actually think the car limitations is a reason family sizes have shrunk. Start imagining moving ten kids around.
What is not mentioned in that perrygroup article is the presence of the landlord. The stories of these long running family restaurants with good food etc are OWNED by the family.
Sooner or later almost all properties fall into the hand of landlords whose function is rent maximization. No long lasting family restaurants here - landlords ramp up the rent until they break. This leads to high intensity food-fraud businesses like Strbucks. I say food fraud when costco sells a can of cok for 22 cents with the can, how much does the same coke in a plastic cup cost at a food fraud? $1.50-$2.50.
The rise of these specialty food frauds who buy all their stuff at the deepest wholesale discount and sell at stratospheric prices and cross subsidize new locations in paramount locations by other store profits. I never buy a thing from Strbucks - the scrape of the gouge is too deep to bear...
> So to really get away from the poisonous political polarization of our times, ranked choice is necessary, but it needs to be Borda or similar, not IRV.

You are definitely better off, but none of these solve polarisation issue. All deliver the tyranny of the majority.

In the current system we generally elect one person per electorate. If you have 4 polarised groups, the split is 40%, 30%, 20% and 10%, and they are roughly evenly distributed among the electorates, then most of the people elected will be from the 40% group simply because they will win most electorates. The 40% will run the place, the other 60% will get very little say in what happens.

This doesn't change much if you use one of the other voting systems. Lets 30% and 20% groups mostly agree with each other. It's true that with First Past Post the place is run by the 40%'s. But if with one of the others the only change is it the place will likely run by a coalition of the 30% + 20% because they are the only ones that will be elected. So yes the people in power change - but again 50% the people get no say in parliament. We are a whole 10% getter off. Whoopee.

One way to get a balance is to have bigger electorates and have 10 people elected from each. Since 10 are elected from each the likely outcome is 4 of the 40%'s, 3 of the 30%'s and so on. Since none have a majority in parliament, they all have to compromise to get what they want. And that nice outcome happens regardless of which of these voting systems you use.

I think all this focus on voting systems distracts from the real issue - tyranny of the majority.
Bike+bus collision danger can be largely mitigated with protected bike lanes and intersections.

Also in practice, the extent to which buses can go faster than bikes is limited. There's a route I take to the local Ubahn Station, and in practice biking is about as fast as the bus, assuming the same starting time. Obviously the bus has a higher top speed, but it also has to stop every couple blocks, which eliminates its advantage.

For BRT, probably a different story, but if it has a completely separate lane infrastructure, you can just have the same for bikes.

So all my existing code that referenced the identifier on the CBPeripheral where it was prior to MacOS 13 needed warning suppression since identifier has been available through the object hierarchy on peripheral since forever

> * Trains to rural areas

It's more easily said than done.

Rural areas are also resistant to things that would make the area less rural, like high speed train.

Look at the fights happening in northern Italy against the TAV (the Italian version of the TGV)

> * Park-and-ride garages for people to drive in, and park next to transportation hubs

Many cities in old Europe cannot do that. Think about the central areas of Paris, Rome, Milan, Madrid.

And those that could are reluctant to do it, because it would immediately lower the value of the buildings around.

Imagine you bought a house for 100 and its value drops to 70 because they made a giant parking lot just below your window.

> * Underground parking garages at the edges of pedestrian zones, or even underneath them, coming up directly above them

In most cities in old Europe digging is very costly and sometimes impossible (most Italian cities for example)

> * Ubiquitous bike storage and bike attachments such that yes,

That would steal space to pedestrian transit

> a mom with 3 young kids can tow them from a single bike - moms in Amsterdam and Berlin do it all the time.

Compare the average street in Berlin[1] or Amsterdam[2] with those of Milan[3]

You will immediately notice a few things: in Milan trams railways are in the middle of the street, they are very slippery and dangerous for bikers; Berlin sidewalks are much larger on average; much of the transport in Amsterdam happens along canals, where cars are usually not allowed.

Things are in a certain way not because people are simply stupid or ignorant, but because the surrounding environment poses a lot of limits.

Yeah, here in Munich the side roads are generally safe for bikes because they're narrow, much narrower than side roads in the US. But that by itself wouldn't make for a ton of biking if we didn't also have many protected bike lanes on arterial roads, as well as off-street walk/bike paths.
I tried it on both the distros I've used lately (Fedora & Clear Linux). In both cases it popped up without any scaling on my hdpi laptop screen. Not being able to even see enough to be able to research what to do about this, I gave up and went back to Gnome. Same with i3.
