I don't see your point re: housing. The current situation is where the equilibrium has naturally ended up. SF is much more expensive than small cities, but people still get enough value from it (or think that they do) to pay the higher cost and live there. If some of the people on the margin moved to a cheaper second-choice place, they'd be slightly worse off, otherwise they would have already done that. So telling them to move to Louisville doesn't make them any better off.

However, if more innovative ways of building (and getting approval to do it) could make housing twice as plentiful and half the price, that would make them much better off.

Land is expensive in SF, and it is hard to get approval to build new housing. But it's not the only problem. Just building can be insanely expensive, like this project where it's going to cost almost $900k per unit to build affordable housing [1]. It's not clear if some of that is land cost, but it seems to imply that is not the case because it sounds like this is land that is already owned and dedicated to affordable housing.

That was Scalia's point in his dissent of the gay marriage decision:

Scalia argues in his opinion that the court is increasingly creating policy rather than serving as a neutral arbiter.

“Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court,” he writes.

“This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.”

People in one part of the country go to the courts, and force their will/values on the rest of the country. Activists across the political spectrum do it.
How about "Dont use the self driving mode during a snowstorm. Make the human drive".

That sounds like it solves the situation nicely.
I stopped editing when it became clear that all of my edits were immediately reverted. They were all simple grammar, spelling, or tense modifications. I assume the original authors had scripts in place to make sure there were no changes.
I would say you have probably answered your own question: There are so many blogs, podcasts, news feeds, and youtube channels that it often feels hard to stay on top of exactly what is relevant.
Thank you! I appreciate the praise.

I think you still had the same IMEI

The sim card allows you to connect to the same physical cellular network.

The APN gave you access to a virtual network inside this physical network where they didn't check you had the right to use it.

Yet, this is the first one which crossed 300 votes, as far as I can tell (only checked 8 pages back or so) and is currently the highest scoring one. It may be that it's the most interesting one too. But adding popularity didn't hurt.

There is a problem. Ten years is not long term.

In the long term we are all dead. So we have to want to do these things for people who are not born yet and who will never pay us or pay us back or be able to even thank us. We have to do these things because these things are the right thing to do.

That will decrease our wealth.

Now please explain how capitalism can do that?
A partial workaround is to reserve one or two of the tests until your PRNG passes the others.

If it passes the remainder on the first try, you might be on to something.

If it fails, you've got a problem: tweaking until it passes isn't going to help you.
> And as soon as you place too many restrictions, you no longer have a reliable transportation option.

yes you do. There is a whole lot of driving that happens in perfect conditions.

Think "Truck driving, on long highways".

Replacing half of all truck drivers is still a trillion dollar industry.

And for your robo taxi situation, you can simply only allow the robotaxis to run half of the time.

Human drivers, can simply get in their cars, and be paid to drive, when it is likely to be unsafe driving conditions. IE, surge driving/pricing.

But there absolutely would be days/times/places where the robo taxi would be perfectly safe. And these days/times/places could be predicted easily, ahead of time.

IE, in arizona, I am sure that it is safe most of the time, and there would not be any issues with snow.
Calling people "string lamps" is not describing how you are hurt, it is bragging in the tackiest way.
This is what I have used in the past. I think they're very convenient if you are just running one instance of uwsgi and want to share some state quickly without going through a persistent database.

If you're worrying about tweaking Celery for performance, then I suspect your uses may be a bit more complex than uwsgi's mules are designed for though.

https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Caching.html
https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Mules.html

The cache is a simple key-value store. Works well. I later swapped it out for Redis, because I needed to shared my cache between multiple machines. Switching to Redis was a very quick and easy replacement, so you don't need to worry about lock in.

I used mules in a couple of ways. I had some background task mules which mostly just ran in a loop with a `sleep()` call. An example is deleting old records from a database once a day. Another example is listening to an Amazon SQS queue for files being uploaded to an S3 bucket.

I also had some mules which were triggered by web requests. These are normally what you would use "farms" for. The web request sends a farm message, and a mule picks it up and acts on it. For example, I used this for sending webhook callbacks in response to certain web requests.

You could probably also combine this with uwsgi's async mode. That would be useful if you needed a web request to wait for a long running task to finish before sending a response back. I handled that kind of situation with the aforementioned webhook callbacks instead.

A sibling comment has mentioned Legion. I've never used that, so can't comment on whether or not the caching and messaging works together with that.
Hi Doreen, very interesting. There's a lot of the 'Positive Education' movement (not sure how it's called in the US) in what you describe.

I have twin girls and one the best things I've learned is to let them handle all their conflicts themselves.

It's a lot about accepting their emotions, letting them express themselves, acknowledging their feelings and... Stopping short of giving a solution. 'I'm here for comfort, you're in a safe place, now go find your path'. So, so liberating. They always find a solution, as long as they're fed, not too tired, and not sick. Not always win-win, but choosing which hill to die on, feeling how advantageous is the deal for everyone, sometimes taking a loss to maintain harmony and keep the game going, sometimes taking a yuge loud stand for a tiny tiny thing but once you listen you hear a long litany of small concessions not rewarded and it's time to take a stand. They're far more prone to show generosity and also to assert when they don't want to share. And they're perfectly allowed to change their mind, and to handle the happy or angry consequences. It's kind of wonderful to see how then those skills are useful with their school friends. Kind of a superpower.

More and more I feel parenting is giving a place to come for comfort, teach (by example and some simple phrases) few absolute principles (no violence - you can be angry, you can't hurt others, no stealing, ...) and just be available for reassurance, comfort, to mourn with them and also to try new stuff (lying, new 'negotiation' techniques, sports, music, ...).

Parenting can be a form of therapy. You question yourself a lot. And kids are kind of a mirror of our inconsistencies, our biases. You can embrace it, admit your inconsistencies, show them that 1) one does not have to be perfect to help, comfort and be worthy of inconditional love 2) one can say sorry when wrong 3) one can change and improve when faced with inconsistencies 4) some things are not good but it's not easy to stop when you've been doing it for long - and there lies the difficulty of changing habits, it's hard and can be done, 5) sometimes people fail to follow-through and it's important to be persistent...

It's a challenge to become a better person. Their world is shaped by what they see. Your reward is to shape a slightly better world through them.

Thanks for trying to help and teach, Doreen.

Wel
When I'm interviewing, I tell every party that I plan to complete every interview for any company that I have passed the phone interview. Upon the first offer that I receive and I'm open to negotiating, I notify every party that I have to tie ends with. Everybody knows the rules of the game on day one.

If anybody were to disrupt that, I would not do business with that party.
Not really. The point is that in a regulatory vacuum, monopolies will exist. Therefore "less regulation" is not always better. That is the only point.

That being said, this is not an example of regulatory capture.

This tool could be useful when people are particularly fragile and lonely like in a pandemic.

However— Social apps are like vitamins...they’re a poor substitute for eating real nutrient dense food.

A social app’s interest is also inversely proportional to that of the user. The app wants maximum usage online where the human benefits most from in person interaction.

I’m not trying say everyone is brainwashed on HN...but there’s a lot of herd thinking.
It would make more sense to have prices $40, $50, $60, where the $50 plan is always on sale for $30. Then, you effectively have a $30 and $60 plan, and the $40 is a decoy to make $30 seem like great value.

I designed a quick example below. That being said, I have no experience with pricing strategies, and I feel like this example is missing out on users and businesses that would be willing to spend $100.

Having children will give you that incentive. People with no children will have higher time preference -- they prefer today's consumption over investment in the future.

I have been testing the free version and there are a few things which i find annoying:

1. Importing large SQL files into DB is slow, SequelPro seems to be much faster;

2. No option to add/delete connection when you choose "Show connections";

3. Maybe it is a free limitation but almost every time i want to open a table it wants to create a new tab;

4. It doesn't want to reconnect to the server (even when cmd +r) if it lost connection - must close and open server again;

5. I have noticed that 2 different databases which are exact copies (structurally) have different column order so doing simple cmd + c in one DB and then cmd + v will mess up the data as the column order is different.

I can live with it. Human drivers annoy me so much that throwing the dice on autonomous cars is not a big stressor to me.
I am not a fan of RPKI since it's centralized. I guess better than nothing, but what I find annoying is that IP protocol has the ability for source routing. So instead blinding trusting routes in BGP, clients/nodes who knows the route could avoid BGP entirely. It also allows the internet to be more resistant to censorship. Yet network operators seem to hate the idea of source routing because someone can spoof an ip address. So they just disable it so they don't have deal with it. Also smaller network operators seem to disable it as well to make firewall rules simpler

IPv6 implements source routing too, but again is hardly used. However it does include an other standard that also works like source routing for mobile networks, but is no where as powerful.
Congress has a 20% approval rating, polled weekly for over the past decade. Yet we vote every two years for the same folks who give us the same results. The problem isn’t them. It’s us.
I’ll take “doesn’t even try, but just works” all day every day. What is Github’s downtime for cloning in the last year, and how does it compare to Pypi? And if you’re really worried, why not use a caching proxy just like you do with Pypi? In my experience (using Python since 2008 and Go since 2012), Go package management has far fewer problems.
How often do you boot your phone? My current phone gets a lot of booting because it doesn't always come back from sleeping, but a phone working properly maybe needs a reboot once a month? That would be less convenient if it needs to be tethered, but not that bad.
As the parent notes. The issue is if you have a simple law say "Do not dump harmful chemicals into waterways used for drinking, shipping, etc." this leads to a lot of litigation regarding what is a "harmful chemical". If instead you have it all spelled out "harmful chemicals being one of coal ash, hydrochloric acid, asbestos, ..." (don't quote me on these). Business's know what the variables/costs effecting operations are up front. Only reacting and being liable if the list changes through the political process.

The parent was saying the US approach instead define what a harmful chemical is after the fact. Leaving companies to need "insurance"/a cost benefit wager before something is built. Otherwise they could be screwed later after litigation.

IMO, I can see both sides but preferably I would want simpler laws from political processes which are then refined into explicit interpretations by subject matter expert strong government institutions. But we have lobbying/revolving door government employees and trashy textualists in the US so it doesn't work out that way...

While much more on the technical side of things, both Ken Shirriff and Curious Marc are great resources for a lot of the historical and technical aspects of things.

I'd highly recommend both of them for looking at specific topics of how the computing hardware worked:

- Marc's videos on old HP computers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn2Zz8X41dI&list=PL-_93BVApb...
- Marc's videos on restoring some old IBM hardware, that includes a good bit of the history that went into them, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS-WtjwAAO0&list=PL-_93BVApb... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlrITxB5qg&list=PL-_93BVApb...
- In fact just look at his playlists directly, https://www.youtube.com/user/mverdiell/playlists

For Ken, I'd look at his chip teardowns and explorations, the AM2901 is on HN this very moment, http://www.righto.com/2020/04/inside-am2901-amds-1970s-bit-s...

A lot of his articles dig into why the different chip technologies were made and fell out of favor eventually too. http://www.righto.com/
They do get a share already through taxation and it doesn’t matter. Money isn’t a good incentive for the government to care.
Another practical example, names of secret agents and places of meetings are not long, either.
Well, copying and pasting descriptions across Facebook pages, registering all the domains at the same time with the same provider and same naming scheme, and missing WHOIS privacy are all OPSEC fails.

I suspect they are using a single server. I found uwsgi's mules and cache2 very useful in that situation.

If someone finds that Redis and Celery are more complication than they need for a given task, then I think they're probably not using an orchestration framework.
I think power grids have a kind of similar problem, super oversimplifying here because this isn't my area: Baseload power plants (e.g. coal) are large and comparatively efficient, but they need to be kept running continuously, and they take a long time to restart. Other types of plants (e.g. natural gas) can start and stop more quickly to meet surges in demand, but they aren't as efficient overall. In order to keep the second type of plant available, but not constantly running, there's a whole separate contracts market for short-notice capacity. What could such a market look like for e.g. hospital equipment capacity contracts? Food growing capacity?
That definitely works. It just means that if there is a possibility of a snowstorm or other circumstance that self-driving doesn't work, you now require a driver who can take over control. Which is fine. It just eliminates the robo-taxi use case of self-driving which is what a lot of people seem to care about.

(I feel dirty asking this question, btw, but it's the first thing that came to mind when considering the GP's points.)

How do you see the system handling someone's answer to "What are you worried about?" being something like "My dad's been raping me for years but I'm worried that if I tell someone he'll get into trouble and we won't be able to carry on paying for my mom's medicine and she will die"?

That could either be someone in really difficult circumstances, or someone who is trolling others to upset them - there's no way to know from one message.

If you shadow-ban the person in difficult circumstances it's not very kind, but if you let the troll through (with identical words), whoever reads it may have an awful day agonising over how to respond.

I wouldn't call something like that toxicity, because it might be genuine distress.
Well they didn’t really see it coming if they sacrificed it over everything else.
There's an argument that some technologies only make sense in a particular context and so if you invent that technology without the context it dies out.

IIRC Writing died out several times, some specialists would see the value in recording language "permanently" and embrace the invention but nobody else did, then circumstances result in this group dying out or at least being dispersed and the ability is lost again.

There are some edge cases too. The invention of radio almost doesn't make sense, because they didn't yet understand enough about electromagnetism to make anything resembling a modern radio transmitter. The "spark gap" radio transmitter invented was totally crazy (in modern terms it's basically a broadband jammer and thus illegal), but if nobody else has a radio transmitter then it's all you've got. If that technology was slightly worse (say the maximum range is a hundred times worse or getting the transmitter working is not merely tricky to learn but such an art that few can do it reliably even with practice) it wouldn't be useful and would have gone nowhere until the electromagnetic theory gets better and valves are invented.
Someone should make a wikibot to make such small innocuous edits, in order to detect such rogue editors who consider themselves “owners” of certain pages (against policy, I might add). It would perhaps also be possible to find at least some of these by detecting these changes in the editing history in cases such as yours.
Why isn't there a public open-source fund to finance open projects (ie one to which the donors have no clue or control where the funds will eventually go; they're disbursed on the basis of how widely something is used)?

So the actual logistics of starting work on a Dyson sphere wasn't really the point of my comment. My only point was that we could make a start, because we grasp the principles – surround the sun with a structure that can capture most of its energy output.

Contrast with the plentitude of natural things we presumably don't understand / know about (unlike the sun) and there is a lot of potential for the future.

That being said, for the construction of a sphere you would presumably not be shipping matter from earth. You'd be towing in matter from asteroid belts and such.
Yeah, well, wait until you're older. Or sicker.

Another person who dismisses or is unaware of the existence of grid scale batteries.

Nuclear could help but it is so centralized it really puts all control in the hands of big corporate and government types, with cost overruns and bankruptcies funded by ratepayers and taxpayers. “Too cheap to meter” was a lie yet the same lie continues to be recycled when talking about the next promised generation. No thank you. I’ll take local control, local and individual ownership, and individual freedom and self determination thank you very much.
I wont't say that the stock market doesn't depend on the economy at all, because that's also obviously incorrect. A total economic collapse (think dollars stop being worth money) would obviously affect the stock market just to list a limit case. But on the margins, no, the economy doesn't move the stock market in any appreciable fashion in the time frame a trader operates. In the extremely long term though the health of US capital markets is a function of the size and broad diversification of the US economy.

Operationally speaking, the market moves based on the actions of market participants and thus the primary intellectual challenge is predicting those actions. Since currently the Federal Reserve working in concert with the US Treasury is an active market participant with unlimited capitalization that is telegraphing its moves, that is what's moving the market. Literally nobody trades on the reality that thousands of small businesses are in danger of going bust. Personally I think it's awful, but I don't have the capital to fix it.
And carry it around and plug it into every computer you ever touched? Not workable.
