maybe they dont want to move. i am genuinely flabbergasted by the number of people who think seniors should just pick up and 'move elsewhere'.

how is this different from someone telling an accented immigrant to 'go back home'?

many retired folks want to stay with their families and grandchildren. finally enjoy their communities after decades of working and paying off bills and mortgages. perhaps some would want to cash out, but many simply do not because they have been fairly successful in the bay area and dont need the extra money, but they are not literal millionaires with liquidity.

30 something year olds after less than a couple of years in a stable job and having another thirty years of earning potential asking people who have a couple of decades left in their lives to uproot themselves.

it is even more bizzare when the suggestion is to take reverse morgages to pay more taxes and supporting the repealing of prop 13. thats like saying that having a $5000 credit card limit is like having $5000 in the bank. reverse mortgages are literally betting on the fact that the person holding it would die eventually. that's someone's inheritance..legacy...a house they built and memories. most importantly, its their property.

there is a vulture like quality to young people in silicon valley's tech sector..those who hover around retiree's homes hoping they'd either sell and leave or find taxes unbearable and sell.

if someone cant afford housing, it means they have to take it up with their employer. if there isnt enough housing, move. take another job. convince your employee to build better cities. its not coveting someone's properties or wishing that they will 'move away'.

this is not an emotional appeal to be 'nice' to seniors. its just absolute shock at the helplessness of a workforce that is supposed to define bay area to come up with creative solutions and their impotence when it comes to creating change with their local governments.

what this shows is that the current working class generation has no influence, no clout, no real wealth, no creativity, no grit to challenge government or authority. most shocking of all, they are cutting off their noses to spite the face by asking for more taxes to be collected and to be delivered to a bloated state govt that has a terrible record with managing public funds, delivering results, being transparent and accountable.

Guaranteed almost 40-50% of these are jobs are going to disappear in the next decade. Guaranteed. what then? what would happen when automation displaces workers/employees and incomes dry up? this is how ghost town are born. while sf bay area is not there yet, it will be a whole different world.
Well, as the main competitor is notoriously slow but otherwise pretty great, I'd say some focus on performance makes sense!

But does the software work because of the body shop? Or despite it.
It begs the question, how few "true" memories and perceptions does consciousness require? I don't know 5^4, but I know I can know it; but couldn't my knowledge of all math be a false memory as well?

Could a consciousness comprise of just a single, false perception— that there are further memories and perceptions? What would it take for such a "mind" to manifest in our universe?

Probably almost nothing; I can't imagine the difference between this and an inert object, or even an instantaneous event. It has no real memory, so it doesn't need to exist for more than an instant.

(Uh, you can stop reading here if you want. Just a warning.)

This has some parallels to Bill Gosper's "HashLife", an implementation of Conway's Game of Life that effectively hashes every event at every scale and timescale. The simulation accelerates rapidly by skipping events whose cause and effect are already coded into those of larger events, and so on, up and up and up; every portion of the simulation ends up being a key for a value in the cosmic hash table. So who's to say what in the simulation is real, and what is symbolic of something more complex?
Drones still send and receive data from the controller in autonomous modes (the user couldn't cancel the flight otherwise) so they probably still can.
Would be nice to have a strong competitor not written in Ruby.

> Surely an ios app can run a persistent background server, eg web? Or is it the swapping out/pausing that is the problem?

I don’t know technical details, but trying to use ssh tunnels on iOS, the tunnel won’t forward until I swap iSH into the foreground, so I have to constantly swap between the browser and the terminal.

Not very practical.
I didn't say money had to be taken from people. Actually I think it should be taken where it is: at the big company level. Except a few exceptions (Japan, South Korea) most of the taxation is on the shoulders of individuals and small/medium enterprises. Huge corporations such as Total has super low taxation rate, and others (GAFAM) avoid almost entirely taxation with taxes evasion schemes despite making billions from Europeans.

Then, besides taxes, companies should also fulfil their role in society by employing "useless" or low productivity people to a certain extend (this is already done a little In France for instance with law imposing a quota of disabled people). I saw it all the time where I live (Japan): people with useless jobs that have been completely removed by automation in Europe.

And finally, limiting the coefficient of the highest paid executive (let's say 100x) in comparison to the lowest paid on is no theft either, because the money didn't came in their pocket in the first place.

The idea at large is not the "rob" the C-execs of their money but to put more responsibilities on companies, which have acquired a disproportionate power in the last few centuries.
There are projects like Yggdrasil [0] and cjdns [1] which are encrypted, distributed networks. People will generally use these networks on top of the existing internet infrastructure though, because for now that is the most prevalent way computers are connected to each other. But there is nothing stopping people setting up their own mesh networks which could completly or partially avoid the existing internet infrastructure which governments have control over.

Also you may be interested in the SAFE network [2], it's not live yet but been in the works for some time and is getting close, more detail at [3].

Aspects of Categorical Recursion Theory
Been a while since I logged in and commented on hacker news, but I had to login in order to give testimony on how digitalocean has been helpful to me this past year (2019).

2019 was one of the worst years for me financially, jobless, in debt and with a one year old child and girlfriend to look after. I was always late on payments for my 5$ digitalocean droplet and would always have my account suspended. I would always ask for an extension period and the wonderful guys at digitalocean would gladly grant me an extension and lift the suspension off my account.

And when I read the story my heart skipped a beat wondering what was going to befall my entrepreneurship dreams this year. Thanks a lot for the comment and am forever grateful to you and the team at digitalocean
Another little known fact - your luggage isn’t insured when you do that. These guys all seem to offer insurance to protect what happens to your luggage

Almost all commenters below here seem to be stuck with how insufficient appearing like a continuous stream of consciousness is. It's a dhamma, impermenant, easily fakeable.
No, the question is whether a competitor that doesn't use a body shop can make software that provides more value to customers.
I think I just have one machine that still runs it, but I like xscreensaver and glad it's still around. It has a huge selection of screen savers, more than most other desktop environments, and they were all so cool!
I'd like to know, from anyone with Plan 9 experience, does its approach to "everything is a file" solve these problems?
This distinction is mostly philosophical and historical in as much as it forms part of how these issues are framed. No person except perhaps a few strange fanatical monarchists goes around in the UK and thinks of themselves as subjects of the queen rather than citizens, for example. The framing of where rights comes from can affect debate, but in and of itself it says very little about to what extent you can expect erosion of rights.

The issue is how many roadblocks you have managed to embed into the public consciousness, not what the law says - laws, even constitutions, can be changed, and regularly are, or tends to be possible to circumvent in all kinds of ways.

The framing can make it politically harder, but only as long as the idea of the importance of a right remains embedded in the public view of the society they live in enough to make changing the law hard. I don't think whether the letter of the law suggest rights are granted vs. recognized matters all that much in practice with respect to that.

I think it's good to encourage people to see rights as inherent rather than granted, but I have no illusions that that means they can't still be taken away.
Now, if only they released it for Android (before Surface Duo hits the market), and Linux (since they have teased us).

Oh is that it? I thought x11vnc was needed so you could do input/output (keyboard/mouse and such).
There’s not really a such thing as a candidate-by-candidate basis, certainly not these days. Candidates are reliant on party infrastructure, endorsements, and fundraising. So when the time comes to line up votes the party speaker or governor or whoever is the acting voice of the party says “jump” and everyone jumps. Voting for a Republican or a Democrat means voting for one more vote for the party line on anything that counts, so you might as well pick which party line you like better and move on with life. It’s sad that this perversely incentivizes things to not change, since it makes party endorsements all the more important.

Your perspective on this is truly twisted. Talk to crime victims and see how many speak about a sense of self importance or some illusion of heroism.

I was attacked by a thief with a knife when I was in my 20’s. This shit is real. Don’t generalize it to ascribe some kind of a Hollywood fantasy/caricature and intent.
No, everything is a file doesn't work at all if you care about high performance graphics and real time audio.

Very entertaining talk, specially regarding the cargo cult that gets carried around.
Good point, but embedded systems don't generally act as an agent for a user to browse the internet. Their endpoints tend to be known API's. You wouldn't use DuckDuckGo from an embedded device like that until you reach the level of a full-fledged modern OS with an up-to-date browser (e.g., Linux running on a Raspberry Pi). It would be meaningless too, because even if you could use a search engine without HTTPS, almost all of its linked results will require it.

The internet can be used without HTTPS, but you can't expect to browse common websites without it.

Testimony before the House Antitrust Subcommittee
There is a sci-fi book about scanning a human brain/conciusness to computer and testing wether it recognizes that the computer gets turned off between the tests. Hint; it doesn't as it does not change state. Based on this experiment one can create a machine, upload his mind then destroy the machine because there will eventually be somewhere sometime a state of the universe where the state of the machine will proceed a step. So you can make a simulated world in that computer and be anything in that world, even god.

Great mindfuck scifi, wish I could tell it's title but now it's clear the author read about this Boltzmann Brain theory...

link.removeAttribute("ping");
link.querySelector('a>div>cite.iUh30').innerText = link.querySelector('a>.LC20lb').innerText;
let div = document.createElement('span');
div.innerText = link.href;
div.className = 'LC20lb';
link.querySelector('a>.LC20lb').parentNode.insertBefore(div, link.querySelector('a>.LC20lb').nextSibling);
link.querySelector('a>.LC20lb').parentNode.removeChild(link.querySelector('a>.LC20lb'));

But is it problematic? A teacher or doctor in America is better off than almost anywhere else in the world, including western european countries: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/gov_glance-2017-35-e... (See 3.27)

The countries with higher teacher salaries, like Canada, or in our general vicinity all have low corporate taxes.

There are things we need to fix in the US, like people who don’t have healthcare, and the housing market. (All the losses in the share of GDP of labor since the 1980s went to landlords, not capital owners.) But it’s not clear to me that income inequality is in and of itself something worth fixing, at the risk of novel measures that could give other countries a competitor advantage over us.

If you or I were to take off a year to be a stay at home dad, would we suffer the same career consequences as women? If the answer is yes, then the issue is that we don't let anyone have children without harming their career, and that sounds counterintuitive and should be fixed.

If the answer is no, then bigotry is at play. It's impossible to know this answer, so we should just make it painless to take time off. I know of plenty of academics who go on sabbatical, fall off the face of the earth, and ignore every department email for a year or however long. This process actually improves their career, not hinder it. Taking time off is harmless.

To be honest, I wasn't :) For those not familiar with terminology, they might think that "italics" represents both (because eg. most software would use one or the other if you click on the slanted "I"talic button), which is why I differentiated between "real" or not real italics.

And while I agree "oblique" is a more technical term, "slanted" is frequently used to mean the same thing, and is probably more understandable. Perhaps I am wrong and it isn't :)
I don't know if you meant to reply to the other response to my comment, but my point is a little broader than that. Hunting be damned, you could fill up wyoming with automatic weapons granted with no background checks and not see a serious uptick in gun violence. It is just a non-issue. Proposals to increase gun laws appear, from that environment, to be a useless power grab by the government. Again, not an endorsement.

To address your main point though, even if a majority of republicans would be okay with the gun control on the table, republican politicians are incentivized to represent the minority that are opposed until an equally signifcant minority actively votes for those policies. That incentive structure is probably for the best given our lack of proportional representation.

The Activity Monitor is hardly even the fastest way to kill a process in macOS. Usually when I'm working on something that goes haywire needs killing, I already know the process name and a simple `killall example` can be typed out faster than he can ⌘-space his way into the Activity Monitor and navigate that GUI. I don't think that proves anything profound though, just that his example was weak.

I went into this video agreeing with the stated premise (and still do), but this presentation was a bit underwhelming.

Oh, the horror. For all intent and purposes they are exactly the same and they share the same philosophy.
I assume that you have undertaken some engineering tasks in the past, and so then you have surely experienced that research, proper selection and setting up the sourcing chain for the parts is a big chunk of decisions that go into engineering a production line or even a single project/machine. Research that ultimately affects the choice of mechanical and otherwise building of the machines itself, because it depends on which parts are viable to source.

So not sure why you would focus on that superficial difference here, like what are you trying to prove? I don't understand your point. Elon Musk has a lot of results behind his companies to prove that he can engineer and a good ratio of technical terms and numbers he can spur off the top of his head in an interview to prove that he is not even mainly marketer, his brain is in engineering, he knows the technical stuff deeply down to revision numbers and decimal points and can give you an educated opinion on technical matters. So this shows you that he is indeed an engineer, not sure if that's your point even though?
If you are concerned about that focus on anti monopoly laws not taxes. If one person owns all the water so you prefer a solution that forces them to give % of income derived from it to others or do you prefer a solution that prevents them from owning all the water?

It’s an incredible and feverish masterpiece, isn’t it?

What is an “ugly display” even in the context of this piece of “writing”? Is that a pejorative or not? Is it intended to give me anything? Or is this some diffusion of some kind?

The government sent people to space decades ago. Elon and Bezos would be nowhere near sending people to space without the work government has done.

The government spends trillions on wars exactly because of the power concentration you are defending. It's not the common man that decides to go to war, it's the network of wealthy people who benefit from it.

Ah, OK, so any 5-4 SCOTUS decision is not valid then? How do we decide laws then? Can I ignore the ones I don’t like? And how about McDonald in 2010.

See, that’s the problem with gun haters, their solution is to mess with the rights of everyone. Let’s go! Let’s take that approach to everything. No more cars, knives, hammers, medicine, planes, trains, rocks, pressure cookers, chains, pieces of wood, ropes, etc. Let’s ban everything that could ever be used to harm anyone. For that matter, let’s castrate all men to prevent rape too.

At some point reason needs to prevail. The problem has nothing to do with the hardware and everything to do with the brain. This is so irrefutable it’s silly.
I think my manager feels bad about leaving the office if I’m still inside, but that’s more like the opposite.
That's a pretty blank check to write. All kind of awful, distasteful things are satisfying to some people's curiosity. Not all curiosities should be satisfied. IMO the comment I was responding to was going beyond measured, actionable feedback. It was TMI, public dirty laundry based on speculations, from an insider who goes on a limb stating guesses as truths, claiming knowledge of proprietary information.

Is HN an appropriate way to tell the DO board that XYZ people should be fired? In the end I just don't get it. This sort of comment isn't doing the commenter any good.

I bought a quite expensive (300 euro) color laser printer about 4 years ago (a HP, but I'm happy with it). I have never replaced the toner, but do need to print from time to time. If I had bought an inkjet printer I'm pretty sure I would have spent more on cartridges by now. Mostly because cartridges dry out. Not on HP printers, but on some, it causes the printer to fail permanently too if a cartridge is dry (Epson comes to mind).
