>If we had the means, should the web as a whole be append-only?

I'm going to go against the HN zeitgeist and say no.

If I have the right to publish something to the web, I should also have the right to edit and delete it if I so choose.
I believe that technically generic top level domains "belong" to ICANN, and the registry operators (who collect most of the money) are just contractors operating the infrastructure on behalf of ICANN. So PIR doesn't actually own .org, ICANN could find a new contractor if they abuse their power.

Of course, that's in theory. In reality ICANN's contracts are very controversial, and there have been plenty of accusations of corruption.

Honestly, I don't see why the GTLDs couldn't be operated by a non-profit. They could charge as much as necessary to maintain the extremely high availability the service requires without needing to enrich any shareholders.
I am using that too, but sadly it hasn't update their app for a long time, and many things are broken now.
>While urban lifestyles are becoming more fashionable in the US, growth is higher in the suburbs

You would really need to conduct surveys questioning where people want to live versus where they do live before it's possible to understand current state and likely future trends. I have a suspicion that most people would rather live in a different place, but have had to compromise because the place they have in mind doesn't exist. Not that it couldn't exist, just that today it doesn't because <circumstances>.

From just observing people's personal anecdotes about where they'd like to live, I've noticed a few common situations:

- Folks trying to find a way to host a growing family in a dense urban setting (examples in this thread). They often end up in suburbia, and endure soul-sucking commutes.

- Young single high-earning professionals that want to live in a remote/rural/setting. They often just stay in the city while pining for the fjords as a kind of long-term early retirement plan.

- Retirees that want to live in dense urban places with great public transport and medical facilities. They're simply priced out of this for the most part.
This is a comforting lie Linux Desktop evangelists tell themselves because they can't accept that they've failed to build a good product for over 20 years now.

Here's just one example: to this day, it is still difficult to install software that wasn't specifically compiled and carefully packaged for your distro. Software compiled just 2 years ago often won't work on the same distro today. It's insane. And the OS is full of things like that.
In the US, Amazon trumps pretty much everything else with free 2-day delivery (and often, 1-day and even same-day) with Amazon Prime, and a relatively painless and easy return process and handling cases of mis-shipment.

Also, as one of the most popular stores, it has the most reviews on items like electronics. These reviews provide a lot of value (not the star-ratings, but actual reviews, where you can see what people complain about).

For things like photography equipment and musical instruments, I'd go to other stores (BHphoto/Adorama/GuitarCenter/Sweetwater/Reverb/Ebay).
But if they're using a deduplicating storage backend, they can shrink down the actual storage on disk across all customers to something quite reasonable.

The only places people will build high rise apartments is where there’s a demand for it, near concentrations of jobs. Having more housing allows more people to live there which will lead to more people having jobs there. Imagine if you doubled the population of Manhattan. Finance in the US would become even more concentrated there and they’re well paid. By allowing agglomeration effects[1] to work more more housing could lead to higher housing prices. The solution to this is to build more housing. If you increase supply enough prices will fall.

Reminds me of that W. B. Yeats poem that also seems relevant for the world we're heading towards:

---

When Loie Fuller’s Chinese dancers enwound

A shining web, a floating ribbon of cloth,

It seemed that a dragon of air

Had fallen among dancers, had whirled them round

Or hurried them off on its own furious path;

So the platonic Year

Whirls out new right and wrong,

Whirls in the old instead;

All men are dancers and their tread

Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.

More that the people you would take it to have way too many already, and would love to unload them on the next pigeon.

I have got some mileage out of characterizing mined diamonds as symbolizing south-African slavery. At least, my wife didn't want one.
One-off snide attacks in a comment section without any evidence or argument to back it up offers nothing of value.

If you have a strong stance about the evils of software development then write something of substance and post it. I am sure it will get plenty of discussion if there's any merit to it.
I'd answer that question, though my answer would be boring, but for the "you seem to be defending rayiner against any critique he receives" barb, which is both uncivil and incorrect. What is true is that I tend to read all of Rayiner's comments, because he thinks differently than I do and writes carefully, and I find his perspective valuable. I do not, on the other hand, find the enterprise of trying to hound him off threads useful.
This pilot was more considerate, measured, and thoughtful in his thinking over the course of minutes than Mark Zuckerberg has been in his entire life.

What a lovely read.
I think he got that from someone at SGI.
I'm happy. Carmack has done a lot of good with Oculus, but it hurt seeing my hero working for Facebook. I understand the need to remain in a consulting position, but at least now he's no longer under the corporate leash.

If anyone can hack AI, it's Carmack, and so when I read this headline I had a moment of fright thinking this meant Carmack was working on AI for Facebook.
I would be more inclined to try BAT if it were just an extension that I could add to any browser of my choice. Also, having tried Brave it doesn't seem like you actually have the private keys to your own wallet since I wasn't able to withdraw any funds without an Uphold account.
I think it’s meant precisely in contrast to something like graphics, where the human element has obviously contributed alongside computational advances. “The Bitter Lesson”, basically. To the other point, aren’t computational advances the reason that it’s only 30 seconds of training?
My wish for 4.0 is to decouple the pieces of helm. It has always done too many things. Package management, templating, deployment life cycle management.

Helm seems good enough as a package manager. But it forces me to use one particular text templating system. Why not allow a package to generate manifests with any system that it likes? This can be done reproducibly with a docker image in the k8s cluster (generate the manifests and send the manifests back to helm to apply them).

Deployment lifecycle management is complicated, and I can see why it is being coupled to templating values, but I don't think that must be the case.

It is great to see the 3.0 release just getting rid of Tiller, that's a useful step in this direction.
Or was the second person to independently come up with it.
Oh yeah that's a good point. I wasn't there in the old days but I'm all for desktop-mobile backend congruence.
Make it easy to run applications period. Adopt something like AppImage, standardize on a base set of libraries that all applications can depend on. It isn't rocket science... which is exactly why the Linux Desktop complexity fetishists hate it. Come on y'all, let's invent a new package manager, maybe using ML and a blockchain!
We've established, unsurprisingly, that there are journalists who can code and coders who can do good work in journalism. I'm not clear on where that gets this thread though.
Can confirm, mine supports this.

> someone saying Docker brings nothing new to the table except for a propietary API and you could just as well use LCX or whatever

Probably the same people who said Dropbox brings nothing new over rsync. Making something easier and bringing it to more people (two halves of the same thing) is a BIG value add. Often the majority of the value.
More and more I think you should. I would have totally agreed a year ago, but it's now very easy for the average user to install any Linux app they want from distro repos. Chrome OS is totally Linux now.

Great attitude and totally on-point, responsible finances are one strong pillar under a relationship, if you blow through your cash on baubles you will eventually end up stressed.
I wonder -- is this for a 13" or 15" laptop? I'm curious because after this thread I was checking on how I tend to find the arrow keys. I have a 13" model and finding the edge of the computer itself seems to help me find the appropriate keys.
> even rodents can outperform state of the art models at general tasks

Rodents can't play Go or a lot of other humanly-meaningful tasks. We don't need to build an artificial cell. A cell is too many components that by blind luck happened to find ways to work together, this is as far from efficient design as can be. The same way we don't build two-legged airplanes, we don't need anything that's close to the wet spiky mess that happens in human brains. It's more likely that we have all the ingredients already in ML, and we need to connect them in an ingenious way and amp up the parallelism.

The effect of the market ordering is more interesting than I anticipated.

On one hand, this is encouraging decentralization of milk production.
Which at first sounds neat.

But that probably isnt more efficient; the market is distorted.
I'm a SW fan, have been my entire life. Not one of the fans that go super-deep into lore and nit-picking every aspect of every movie and debating it all (although I do respect that level of fan too, and think they create some interesting discussions/content), but I've watched every movie a few times, read a heap of the books, play all the games, collect the Lego, etc etc.

I think that Disney is doing to SW what they do to everything... they make it appeal to the maximum possible audience for the maximum possible profit. There's no deep desire to create amazing stories, there's no attempts at making something special, they're just the McDonalds of entertainment. The stuff they make is "good". You'll still pay for it, and enjoy it, but you'll always end up feeling like they could've done better. It's all just formulaic mass-produced share-holder stuff now, but it does the job.
Your argument boils down to "most people agree with me". Can you substantiate that claim? Even if you could, that doesn't make the popular claim right, but your don't even have a proof that most people agree with you, sot you?
> Uninsured people don't typically foot the bill and don't go bankrupt, the hospital has to eat the costs because no one can be turned away from a hospital. They then pass that along to the insured by jacking up their prices.

Too true. The few times I or a relative had to visit the ER, I got an outrageous $1,000+ bill for minor things (like suture, stuff like that). I always called them, told them to fuck off, and they basically said "If you can pay $~300 we're good".

It just feels like they're desperate to get any payment because I assume a lot of people just don't pay at all, and they have to eat the cost.
That has not been true since 1947, when Taft-Hartley banned closed shops.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_shop#United_States

As for advocating for organizing at your workplace being unfair to your coworkers: they are not required to join, but as union shops consistently pay better, are safer, and provide better protections against arbitrary firing, I would still be comfortable advocating for those conditions for my coworkers.

since iOS 7 Apple always returns "02:00:00:00:00:00" for the WLAN MAC address for this very reason.

Besides the IDFA Apples seem to have tried hard to get rid of the obvious ways for different apps to link activity between their users. Of course if you login or provide an email it becomes easy...and there's plenty of trickier less reliable ways like looking at IP address

Would you feel the same way if the site implemented a feature where if you clicked any link it would first detour you through a donation flow? Say the link said Tutorial or Documentation but when clicked it would go to Donate instead...

The point the OP makes is that when you ask for donation the button should say Donate and not Download.
Why are there people who are legally required to answer the phone? On what grounds? Why? (Assuming private persons here)
The review process can’t tell the contents of the data being sent back.
You have a dock, an adapter, a breakout box or whatever the cool kids are calling it.

A USB hub is just one USB port in and N out. There is no such thing for USB-c.

You can't even chain those adapters. The USB-c 'in' port that you plug power into? No data on that line. Just power.

And some of those adapters send the wrong voltage to USB-2 devices. Had a hell of a time with my keyboard and mouse until I started plugging the power directly into the computer.
The jaw-dropping model aside, the magazine cover is my favorite part. Whenever I see someone get appreciation outside of their known position of recognition - it gives my renaissance muscle a little tingle. I wonder if this is more common or less common than we think.

Can anyone think of other examples of this?
An L1 cache hit is 4 cycles of latency.

As for your second question, my guess is you're looking at unoptimized code. Most compilers keep variables on the stack unless you're optimizing the code to at least some degree.
Oh, I probably will give it a try. Helm is pretty much inescapable since the community has rallied around using it for distributing manifests. It's just sad to need yet another bespoke tool when the general purpose ones do a fine job.
Sounds like extortion to me
Sometimes an outside perspective is just the ticket for getting past roadblocks that've stumped the experts. If any outsider could do this, it's John.

> Not only is [ always in the same spot

Only if it's the same keyboard layout. For instance, on the US layout, [ is immediately to the right of P, while on the ABNT-2 layout, it's two keys to the right of P. Meanwhile, ESC is on the same place (top left of the keyboard) in both.
I think it's key you have 4 ports. I think the very small number of ports and requirement of dongles in order to get enough ports (and lack of USB-C hub) perpetuates USB.

If you have 1 or 2 USB-C ports odds are you'll need a dongle. Since the only USB-C dongles don't multiply ports, it'll have multiple USB ports. If you had a lot of USB-C ports, you'd likely get adapters and switch to USB-C as you upgraded things. Now, unless you can switch to wireless, you basically have to replace it with a USB device.
would there be a way for users to submit projects (obviously there would need to be some sort of quality control)? I would think that this would be a quick way to expand the community.
I think it's fair to say that Disney is large enough that it's not only hard to quantify what impact the company itself has on the storytelling that gets done, but it's also hard say how much of the company is doing storytelling at all anymore.

They've still got animated features, some TV cartoons, some live action sitcoms, but also theme parks and resorts, a video game studio, a theatrical group, a cruise line, a radio station (and a line up of recording artists), cable channels, retail chains, a timeshare program, and a publishing company. Storytelling factors in some of those somewhere but Disney has moved way beyond it's storytelling roots.

I can't even say there's a strong central vision driving their films these days like when Walt was still alive and they were primarily an animation studio or even during their renaissance. When they are storytelling, their successes and failures seem to come down to who they hire or what companies/properties they pick up.

I will say that at least on the animation side they seem to stay out of the way of the creative types and give them the freedom to do what they need to. Disney has some terrible business practices, but they do manage to get their hands on some incredibly talented people who have done some really good work over the years.
This collaboration between the three physicists and Tao actually started its life in a /r/math comment thread! One of the reddit commenters pointed the physicist (I don't know which of the three was asking the question) to a mathoverflow answer of Tao's resolving a similar question. Here's the posts and it's followups:

I don't understand how people can be liable to pay a bill they have no knowledge of upfront, like not even a rough estimate. Even a plumber will tell you "well, I bill $150/hr and I think it will take 2 hours, but who knows".

Is there any other example of an industry that operates like that?
Very neat idea.

I did notice that there is not many platforms that support fullstack projects. A lot of it is simple bitesized function/method exercises (LeetCode, HackerRank, CodeSignal, etc.) and don't encompass building applications from spec.

There is definitely some resistance here on HN about pricing, but I wouldn't worry about it. There are plenty of people who pay $$$ for courses (Udemy, CodeCademy, PluralSight) so the market is there. If each workout provides at least about 1-2 hours of content, then the price is in-line, if not a bargain, compared some Udemy courses around the same length.

For what it's worth, while I understand that your business model is based around finder fees, there is an extreme amount of value from building a solid platform that can handle interactive fullstack courses like what you have so far. There is serious acquisition or licensing/support potential (enterprise onboarding) if this platform grows the correct feature set.
Yes. I remember I read a guy on Twitter say he was part of a Github team focused on easy frontend wins and asking for suggestions. I'll let you know if I find it.
I can't prove it, but I will tell you why I believe it.

We can't build a conscious machine because I believe there is a spiritual aspect to life that we have thus far failed to empirically observe or measure. Put another way, I believe all humans have a "spirit" inside of them, and that said spirit is a prerequisite of conscious thought. This same spirit is what makes life after death possible. This belief, of course, is an extension of my belief in God.

Thus, it is impossible to build a truly conscious machine without a spirit to inhabit said machine.

This all implies, of course, that truly conscious AGI effectively proves God does not exist since it proves there is nothing special about humans or any intelligent life for that matter.

In summary, since I believe there is something special about life and that there is a secret sauce (spirits) that we haven't observed or measured, AGI projects are always doomed to fail (though they may spawn new interesting fields of mathematics or computer science)
Why would you call it Vy? Doesn’t that seem a little self defeating?
Hm. I don't feel like additional engineering expertise is what's missing to achieve AGI, there's still a lot more science to do I think, and I'm not sure how good Carmack is at that.
That argument is like saying if we had better theorists you wouldn't need to build particle accelerators.

Nature has brute facts that can only be discovered through observation. I would be surprised to see evidence that an intelligence, no matter how smart, could reason to the fundamental properties of neutrinos without massive physical real world experiments and piles of observational data.
I so wanted to be wrong it's not even funny. Like, how the fuck did you break this and why don't I remember screaming and bonfires in the streets over this? It's bullshit!

The weirdest one is that I at least expected those 'hubs' that have the port breakouts for everything to at least be able to take data in through both ports, but that doesn't work either. You can only plug a power brick into the USB-c female port.
Amazon here literally delivers the same day, or the next.

On the downside, many items are now Chinese fakes. So for brand products, I tend to not use amazon anymore, as it is basically a fake marketplace.
If available, I always use the webshop of the company directly. Much less headache.

But in my experience it is usually cheapest, and no one can even touch the shipping time.
What this title should have been: John Carmack gives up on VR.
Yes, but try to stay specific to this situation. How is Walmart obligated to buy milk from one specific supplier forever?

You seem to want to go wide with this, but the question isn't a generic one; it's very particular to Walmart, milk, and the claim that Walmart is somehow supposed to buy from Dean Foods, or else they're acting immorally.
The selling point of 2FA is that if a hacker gets your password (from a DB dump from a compromise of site A that has bad security and no PW hashing) and tries to use it on site B, then site B still won't let them in because they don't have the second factor for site B.

In this case, an email account is the second factor. Your Github password is the first factor.
“We switched to the cloud” isn’t a decision made by development orgs in any non-software company. In most businesses, supportability by IT and boring bureaucratic processes are king.
