Personally, I think HN should have even stronger moderation/curation and likewise for social media. But putting that aside...

HN has so few users, and HN's users are savvy enough to find alternatives, that a little "censorship" doesn't matter. HN isn't deciding elections.

I browse with showdead on so I can see what's getting killed and I largely agree with it. I don't see any important truths being silenced. In general, challenging the rules of a platform on that platform isn't going to work and tends to generate a lot of bikeshedding. If you want to criticize HN, I suggest that you do it outside of HN.
Zoning is a big issue, neighborhood associations almost universally oppose new development and they have a lot of say in the process.
> In the late 1980s Australian interest rates were 17% so the repayments required were much higher on the same level of debt.

Inflation was also in the >10% range (https://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/home/ABS+Chie...) so if your wage kept up with inflation and you could weather the high interest rates for a few years then your mortgage:income ratio shrunk very quickly.

On a normal desktop OS, it is routine to use multiple applications in concert to do work, using files and the clipboard as means of composition.

Applications share data on the iPad just like on the desktop - copy and paste and opening a document in multiple apps.

often resorting to cloud services (and thus a mandatory network connection) as a clumsy workaround, and even copying and pasting data between applications can be challenging and error-prone.

You can store documents on your device that can be shared just like you can on iCloud and Dropbox.

On a desktop, any user can invent new workflows. On an ipad, a user can only buy them wholesale. Users are at the mercy of the degree of forethought the app developers

Apple actually bought the company that made the Workflow app and integrated more tightly into iOS to allow cross app automation

Baran drew this pic almost 80 years ago. Since then, 'Decentralized' has become an umbrella term for both decentralized and distributed networks, and 'Federated' is currently a commonly accepted name for Email/XMPP type of networks. [1]

This makes sense, because Baran was describing a communication network, like later ethernet, where nodes were interchangeable, wherever in XMPP the nodes are not interchangeable: if you have an account on xmpp.org server, you can't connect to xmpp.jp server and receive your messages. Thus, such networks required a special more narrow name to define it.

> As a musician and software developer I'd disagree. Sure, manufacturers are getting on fine because they can do whatever they want, but it makes the setup for anyone who isn't the manufacturer much more bespoke and challenging, as others have said in thread.

MIDI 1.0 was successful for 30+ years because of its simplicity, so I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with. Building a MIDI payload is extremely simple and serious manufacturers will document their MIDI implementation in public documents.

They have shrunk in sales YoY in the US and Norway, their two largest markets. They managed to grow globally by finding the most advantageous subsidies for them to take advantage of. However, even that only gave them 1% growth of the past year.
If they're not removing obvious frauds in these numbers, they'll be the target of shareholder class action lawsuits. In general, numbers published by big corporations tend to be reasonably sourced due to this reason - gotchas tend to more subtle.

>I find it strange, that in this strictly B2B market...

Except it is not, It is very much consumer marketing. Look at how all their Chip Vendors proudly market themselves as 7nm, or first to EUV.

Samsung Foundry started this whole thing, and TSMC CEO said during an investor conference their customers were asking for smaller nm because "another" foundry were using those numbers.

At the end of the day, all we have to know is that each full node has roughly 2x density improvement over previous node. And we still have 5nm, 3nm, 2nm, 1.4nm and 1nm coming up. Someday Moore's Law will indeed be dead, but for now at least we have another 5 - 6 years to go. I am happy I will get even more powerful GPU down the line.

This describes very well why I have come to consider disruptive innovation/technologies to be a negative force. It's too bad, too, because it could have been a positive one.

Other car manufacturers are missing what makes Tesla do so well.

It's a lot of things, really. Range, performance, the hope of self-driving, the supercharging network (Which is much bigger than people think!), and of course, the fact that they look like normal cars. Most other EVs like the Leaf are either incredibly lacking in range and performance, or they're incredibly ugly like the BMW i3.

Then you've got cars like the Mullen Qiantu K50 [0] that try to be something special, but other than looks are incredibly lackluster and overpriced. $125K, and its performance and range are on par with a $48K Model 3 LR AWD. They're trying to brand it like a supercar, but it's only a supercar in the looks.

It's crazy to me that other makers can't even get charging done well. Most public CHAdeMO or CCS chargers are only up to 50 kW, while Tesla superchargers are usually 72 kW and sometimes up to 150 kW. Being able to charge quickly is a must when one of your biggest barriers to getting customers is overcoming their range anxiety.

"reasonable" is relative to what you get, and nothing in that area is reasonable. In no way is $1400 to $1900 per month reasonable for just a room. For that price you ought to get a 1500 to 2200 sq ft detached 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom house on a quarter acre lot.

Right but it's unclear how Prop 13 drives that. If you repeal Prop 13, presumably it forces more people to sell, but that just means different people with closer to market price mortgage ratios. Would make it more or less likely to oppose new development if they're at risk if something changes and the price goes down on their homes?
I will add to other comments negating the value of doctors as gatekeepers by simply referring to the state of mental health care in our country. As someone who is fortunate to have only had to deal with it for a short amount of time I was still absolutely shocked. Until you've had experience with it personally (or via someone you care about) I think it's difficult to understand how abhorrent and sad it really is.

Additionally, I will add that for a drug like psilocybin the financial incentives are unlikely to ever line up. Large pharmaceutical companies will have no interest b/c it would cannibalize existing product lines. Psilocybin would never be a cash cow b/c it's so incredibly easy and inexpensive to produce. Microdoses can literally be manufactured by amateurs for fractions of a penny per dose and a bit of internet searching.

Mental health care is in an awful state and people are suffering terribly from illnesses that this drug can help with. It's cheap and easy to produce. Trusting it to the current system of us pharma and healthcare is too dangerous in my opinion.
Great problem. If I had time I would build a news aggregator with an unintuitive voting concept: Downvoting only, sort by -age*downvotes.

That can happen for a time. Investors might sit on things hoping that it will appreciate in value. However, many times there's a myth of "empty houses" used to justify not building more. Some people have cited non-owner-occupied condos as "empty" when they're merely rented. When a large new property comes on the market, often the owners take time selling off units so as not to flood the market and drive down their investment (just as one doesn't want to unload shares all at once and overwhelm demand). There's always a certain level of vacancies and a lot of the time when people think there are a lot of vacancies, it's not actually high. They just notice a couple fancy buildings that aren't full.

Prices are also sticky. If you bought a home at $X, you're going to psychologically want to get that back when selling. If you're a buyer, you've seen prices at X and you've become accustomed to thinking it costs that.

And a lot of people say that there's been a "massive housing boom" when production is a tiny fraction of historical levels. This can be understandable. If your area used to increase housing by 1% per year from 1920-2007 and then shrunk down to 0% per year from 2007-2015, increases of 0.5% per year might seem like a boom. However, it's below historical levels and might be coming after a near decade of under-creation. As such, there can be huge pent-up demand combined with a level of building that's still well below normal (but seems high compared to post-mortgage-crisis levels).

EDIT: https://twitter.com/TweetBenMax/status/1218712012114538497/p...

This isn't the best graph because housing production had already dropped off by the 90s, but it's still pretty clear. Everyone in expensive US cities thinks we're building lots of housing. However, when you look at it we're just not. Compared to the dip after the mortgage crisis, we're definitely building more. However, these expensive cities are also seeing historic levels of high-income job growth and migration towards them while having building at lower than historical levels. Maybe Australia is different, but it's probably just a comparison with post-mortgage-crisis lows and not actually a building boom. Even with new stock coming in, it can take years (think 5-15) to settle.
Maybe they agree, but the last two quarters should make anyone skeptical. For a company at the multiple it is it post negative to zero YoY growth for two quarters is crazy
I think that's because animals are "simple".

Unlike with humans, we think of animals as being incapable of having hidden motives. Which is wrong by the way, dogs can be sneaky bastards. Not only you probably noticed it if you own a dog, but it has been scientifically studied ( https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10071-017-1078-6 ).

In the particular case of Hachiko, it is worth nothing that he was fed for nine years. Extreme loyalty or not, he had every reason to continue what he was doing.

But why is the story of Hachiko so endearing? Because it is a tale. The truth is probably somewhere between the story of boundless loyalty we love to tell, and that of a stray dog that found a particularly effective way of scoring food. But who cares about the truth, it doesn't make a good story.

Edit: I noticed I was pretty dismissive... Note that I really believe that loyalty is a thing with dogs. But I also think we tend to underestimate their survival abilities around humans.
While I've been a believer of XMPP and still believes it has a place, I have to admit that it doesn't have the appeal it once has. Now the IM protocol du jour is Matrix, which might or might not know the same fate; who knows. And another one might come later, and there are already others today that exist and are widely used.

I think it's high time we had a concerted effort to have one great UI (probably per platform), and allow all protocol enthusiasts implement the specifics of their own choosing. It's fair to say that at this point the requirements for a "modern" UI are known, and while not all protocols may be up to the task, a very high percentage can be implemented in the most famous ones.

> The only plan that can works is if you accrue a large enough amount, from which the interest earnings are enough to sustain you indefinitely (using a low interest but safe returns instrument like high grade bonds and gov't bonds, with a small mix of stocks selected for dividends).

I don't plan to stay alive indefinitely, though, so I don't need a plan that will sustain me indefinitely. That is overkill, and most people can't afford to save that up.

What I, and most people need is a plan that will sustain the retiree until they die - and not just for an average case scenario.

Pension plans have lower expected returns, but handle the long-tail cases well, because they balance risk between different participants - some of whom die early, and some of whom die late. Someone who dies five years after retirement will draw much less from a pension than someone who dies twenty five years after retirement. The existence of the former provides safety for the existence of the latter.

401Ks have higher expected returns, but handle long-tail cases poorly, because there is no diversification of risk for the individuals participating in them. I may end up dying with 90% of my 401K in the bank. That does me no good. I may end up saving up to live into my 80s... Only to discover - too late - that it wasn't enough.
A few thoughts and questions occur:

1. Traffic and load aren't mentioned. If the system is serving continuous requests, suspending or switching to a low-power / hibernation mode isn't viable, but if it isn't, then utilising a wake-on-demand service (wake-on-lan, inetd) might offer some server efficiencies.

2. System performance tuning. Ruthlessly pruning all unnecessary processing to match available power. Disabling cronjobs either at night or when power reserves are below a specified threshold might help somewhat.

3. Scheduled or batched jobs. RSS feeds especially might be slotted such that they're served en mass at a specified interval. These tend to be automated (rather than human-initiated) requests, and if a combined burst of activity allows the system to return to quiet mode, might be worthwhile. Otherwise, RSS could also be disabled at night.

4. A router-based server-side cache. Move static pages/requests further off the webserver itself.

5. Hardware-accelerated crypto / TLS termination. Either on the webserver or router -- moving crypto to a dedicated hardware implementation might reduce processing load. Performance monitering should indicate if this is the case.

6. Detailed system power monitoring: This seems missing from the analysis. A breakdown of power usage by process / function would be interesting.

7. Geographically-distributed service. One obvious alternative to single-site provisioning would be to have a globally-distributed set of servers, possibly serving numerous websites, spread across both latitudes and north/south hemispheres. The likelihood of all instances being simultaneously power-starved is low. Even as few as 2-4 systems should provide considerable availability improvements. DNS load balancing (with some indication of "I'm going to sleep soon") might be an approach. So long as this consolidates multiple websites, the overall embedded energy should remain feasible, and reliability enhancement should be much easier than trying to supply larger panels and/or battery storage.
> Expanding the storage by replacing with higher capacity disks makes sense

That is an insanely time consuming operation that also increases the risk of data loss as you have less redundancy during the expansion.

An enterprise ought to just migrate the entire pool/content to somewhere else and redo it completely.

Expanding by replacing with higher capacity drives just feels like a hack and afterthought that only hobbyists would actually make use of.

That's not consumer marketing. That's still B2B, except the audience is management instead of engineering as assumed in the GP. TSMC's customers are not consumers. Set up costs run into the millions of dollars.

After the whole gigahertz wars, there aren't many consumers that are savvy enough to know that you want fewer nanometers.

Moderation is unfortunately a fact of life given the abuse non-moderated forums are frequently exposed to. I don't regularly see questionable moderation practices perpetrated. The few times I have seen things done that registered as questionable to my estimation, a bit of persistence tends to get the message to take root and bear fruit with at least a few curious minds generally after an indication that intellectual curiosity is piqued and fruitful non-flamebait discussion may be a result.

I'd also use the search function to see if said thread still exists. I haven't seen much straight up disappear, but stuff can travel to the hundreds in ranking surprisingly quickly as the overall conversation on evolves.

Is there any more detail you'd like to offer on the specific instances of material you feel are being unfairly buried and any guidance you may have received as to why they may have been? Generally there is at least a guideline violation or two that can be worked around.

Also, as always, remember the audience and platform are not ever guaranteed to be receptive to what you feel is important. That's an occupational hazard of the of information transmission, and the challenge to be overcome to get your message out there.

Failing any satisfying resolution, just keep at it! They can't stop the Signal, and given enough time, enough other people will pick it up to make sure it bubbles up somewhere. Just maybe not today.
