Sure, but the point is that none of these games make you account for parking or make it part of your urban planning. You don't have to build municipal parking structures or decide whether to charge for parking, or set policies around parking minimums in different classes of buildings. You don't have to deal with the blight of empty parking lots, or the challenges of reclaiming that land. There's no such thing as a park-n-ride in C:S—if you build a rapid transit line, you don't get to realize the growth associated with the greater density that would unlock in the real world because you were never bottlenecked on CBD parking availability the way the real world is.

Parking is just taken for granted as plentiful and invisible, which is why SimCity and C:S let you make a city that looks like NYC or Barcelona, but functions under the hood like San Jose.

This is problematic because non-car tranportation modes have enough trouble competing in the real world where these costs _are_ paid. How much harder is it in a fantasy where they aren't?
The one thing big players (with other revenue sources) can always do is beat you on price... usually "free" or packaged with their other products.

No reasonable person would accuse Joe Rogan of "Hate Content". He disagreed with an actual instance of a recently transitioned transgender woman fighting women in MMA. This is the definition of pragmatic. That person can fight men or not fight. This is not discrimination, it is protecting fighters as much as possible in a brutal and extreme sport.

> You can't discount how unfair it would be for women to compete against people who have lived for years with high testosterone levels.

If a man has had naturally low testosterone all his life, should he be allowed to compete against women?

If a woman has had naturally high testosterone all her life, should she only be allowed to compete against men?
That note is interesting, but a bit dense and most of it is standard specific implementation details that aren't too important without first understanding why the standards were written the way they were. That question isn't usually well documented, so a bottom-up understanding of the testing is valuable imo.

If you want to become a time-nut, then check out time-nuts[0]. They know their stuff and will be the most valuable resource on topics related to GPS timing: wander, allen deviation, and jitter of various sources (quartz oscillator vs rubidium, etc.)

I will say that the big test and measurement (T&M) players (Keysight, Tektronix, Rhode&Schwartz) have been the main drivers of T&M research. It's a strange field where academic work and commercial interests line up, so all of the academics work for commercial companies. They'll happily share their results and preferred approaches (except for the secret parts) in white papers and app notes. I don't think there is a good centralized repository of such documents, so it may require some hunting. Knowing keywords might be helpful. If you're mainly interested in jitter then hot things to search for are "jitter", "jitter decomposition", "TIE", "wander", and "dual-Dirac" (just off the top of my head, I'm sure the rabbit hole goes deeper if you start digging into more recent work).

I was in T&M for 7 years. I'm not currently but likely will be in the future. This[1] is the bible I learned on. It's $120 new and not too easy to find free (most of the people who would find it interesting can afford it, ie not in curriculum). Most of my learning was through osmosis over the first few years, then I taught myself the rest. I only used the book as a reference after the first year, but I wouldn't say I knew it all until maybe 5 years in (I was a student at the time too). When I flipped through it towards the end of my time I found it was a good teaching source. I suffer from the curse of knowledge, but I think if you have EE chops then this book will make perfect sense and even help build the intuition necessary to be a good test engineer.

The book is all practical T&M techniques for high-speed SERDES, so wander is outside of the scope of the book. There are other bits in the book besides jitter too (lots of tasty stuff on encodings and impedance).

It sounds easy in theory but most people hate the idea of messing with biology, believing that it should be regulated and professionalised as much as possible. Even on this very forum, the mere suggestion that a PCR machine (basically a glorified slow cooker) can be built with off the shelf parts is enough to invite a flood of downvotes - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22578216

The lack of easy commercialisation of biotechnology and regulatory capture in the name of "move fast break things and people die" has resulted in very poor understanding of biochemistry among the general population (most advocates and detractors of vaccines cannot explain how they work or don't work at the chemical level, one of the reasons for the whole Thiomersal controversy). The top minds who do go into this field often do so for the sake of medical school, where the number of places are limited by politics and gatekeeping rather than any practical meritocratic reason. The lack of money and opportunity is a fundamental problem. Currently large numbers of the general population have a damn good understanding of how computers work, thanks in part due to web dev bootcamps and the rise of FAANG driving the industry. The same cannot be said for biology or even organic chemistry. Bill Gates has famously said that he would study biology if he was to go back to school again, but in the current environment it would be doubtful any unicorn-level of fast financial gains/reward can be achieved in biotechnology. He will most likely end up as one of the numerous healthcare workers whose ultimate reward after each day of dealing with a pandemic is orchestrated clapping instead of spearheading vaccine research through his foundation (assuming of course he had not already switched to working as a McKinsey consultant given his family connections). Global pharmaceutical and healthcare research is still currently led by the United States; FDA-approval being the universal standard. Sure there are a couple EU-only projects and some attempts in Asia too, but the world's biotech research and development still operates fundamentally within the system of American capitalism. The dearth of opportunities due to politics, regulatory capture, and general lack of appreciation of biology is as much a tragedy as lack of health insurance. Most people would immediately identify with or quote the various media talking points when it comes to healthcare pricing, but hardly anyone would question why there are such tremendous gatekeeping and lack of competition.

I will also link to my previous comment on this:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22471482

Giving up in the face of ignorance is not good policy so I will continue my advocacy of more open biology and medical education even if my comments succumb to the ego of software engineer hordes.

Who in their right mind would need micropayments like this?

Of course, any reasonable solution would take, say, $10 from you, and allow you to just press "pay" anywhere a paywall is encountered. Of course it would just auto-pay for articles on sites you put in a whitelist, within a limit you set. All the clearing is done in non-micro amounts, say, monthly.

Such solutions do exist. The problem, of course, is the buy-in from site owners. I suspect that running better ads just has a higher ROI.
Nothing about the successors. Something like "I've tried to do good work here, and particularly with features A, B, and C. <This organization> does important work, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. (If needed) Sadly, we had crucial disagreements on the handling of the data, and I needed to move on. I wish my successors the best, and stand ready to assist in any way that I can."

If there's something truly horrible going on, go find the best reporter you can and tell them your tale. If you want to make a difference, forsake fame, forsake glory, forsake vengeance, forsake righteousness. Become quiet death to the evil worth fighting.

No-Code May Be for Coders
That may be true, that has never matter to me. What has mattered however is portability. But it doesn't really matter what weaknesses there are, what matters is that they exist. Because they exist, HTTPie is not a strong of recommendation as ripgrep or fd.

You can think of it as a spectrum ranging from incomparable to strictly better. So you can't say that one should use Python over grep for example; you can't even compare the two because that doesn't make sense. They aren't even in the same space. Ripgrep however is a strict improvement over grep, it is faster, more featureful, safer, and has no downsides (with the exception of age, as I've mentioned).

I think HTTPie is very close to the end of the spectrum of being a strict improvement, but it's held back by various little things that don't matter to many but still matter.
> Lebron has never gotten in a fight with his own teammates like Jordan did twice, or maybe more?

Lebron has definitely abused his teammates during games on live TV, those clips are a YouTube search away. He’s also been responsible for having multiple coaches fired in his career, which isn’t exactly a servant-leader move.

> Jordan also had the benefit of Scottie Pippen who is a all-pro/50 greatest player

Lebron has played on teams that will probably go down as on-par with some of those bulls teams, it’s not like Pippen was on another planet compared to Wade or Anthony Davis. They’re fairly comparable players. The Cavs also wound up beating that Warriors team that matched the Bulls single season record, which was also considered one of the most talented teams ever.

Also, Jordan never belittled opposing fans in a press conference the way Lebron did in 2011 that he wound up having to clarify[0]. This was truly one of the most distasteful things I’ve ever seen a pro athlete say in a press conference, but that’s clearly my opinion.

I don’t necessarily believe that one is more or less moral than the other, but I’ve never been convinced of the Lebron “nice guy” story. He’s always come across as more narcissistic than Jordan in my opinion, Jordan would never have done “The Decision” the way Lebron did.

Slow banks would still be a thing, they just cant (be allowed to) process these transactions.

Also, the bytes don't really have to flow from A to B. The payload is much to predicable. For 8 hours money flows into the account and flows out of the other account at a fixed rate. A daily or weekly validation would be enough. (with automatic fines for not updating the work schedule)

> Shhhhh shhhh. It’s ok. Sure, some domains were. And the buyers aren’t scumbags. If someone buys real estate dirt and won’t sell to you for pennies 10 years later, do you suck thumb and whine? Nah. Same deal here. While you were binge watching Walker, Texas Ranger in 1995, these folks were spending hours faxing through domain name orders & risking their own cash on a new thing called the Internet. They’re just investors, and smart ones at that.

Every asshole has a way to rationalize his or her behavior. Scalpers, thieves, scammers, et. al. justify their toxic behavior exactly the same way. Being a saavy business person doesn't make you not a piece of shit. I see real estate and come to the exact opposite conclusion of what's written above. It is shitty that you get to bleed money from me just because you showed up 50 years earlier with $30k before I was even born. How the fuck is that business accumen? It's profiting off of your position against people who never had the same opportunity. I would call it predatory.

What happens when some dumbledork sets it to 2^32+1?
I think Deno will eventually replace node in mindshare and deployment numbers.

What percentage of nodejs packages run on both node and the browser and do you expect that number to go up or down over time?

If it goes up -- the percentage of node packages that run on deno also goes up.

Code that runs in the browser is very valuable because it is an incredibly widely deployed user eyeball platform ... the browser _is_ the center of the javascript ecosystem -- and so there is already built-in pressure to migrate from node to deno -- especially if/when deno's browser matching api implementations become part of the compatibility testing matrix for a major browser vendor (like chrome or firefox) ...

Deno will surf uphill on the ever rising value of browser compatibility until projects are actively weeding out any dependencies which "run only on node".

Even given the huge dependency graphs of node applications -- you don't really have to replace that many high level dependencies before you've migrated yourself to deno ... -- and you will experience incremental benefit for partial steps along the way as you do ...
> If you put up a paywall on your forum, and it is a platform for libel, you damned well should be liable

But legally, you aren't. Both Compuserve and Prodigy, the companies that Section 230 are based on, were commercial services that made money. Section 230 is a blanket protection, it doesn't have an exception built in to open liability back up in the case of lazy, insufficient moderation.

That's been upheld pretty consistently since the law was created. In particular, in 2008:

> Immunity was upheld against claims of fraud and money laundering. Google was not responsible for misleading advertising created by third parties who bought space on Google's pages. The court found the creative pleading of money laundering did not cause the case to fall into the crime exception to Section 230 immunity.

Scrolling through the case law since Section 230 was founded, you'll see that many of the cases it was used in involved commercial entities that profited from their services.

> If the moderation in place is so strict that it is producing significant false positives, why should the false negatives be protected?

Because that was the intention of the original law. The thought was that if moderation creates liability, companies won't do it. If scanning for malware makes Google liable for malware under some ruling that their moderation isn't "complete", then there's no incentive for Google to scan for malware in the Play Store. And if nobody moderated anything, the Internet would become a cesspool of malware, spam, pornography, advertisements, misinformation, hate speech, and general poor content.

Of course, some people think the Internet already is a cesspool in that regard, but my feeling is they don't have a good grasp on how much worse the problem could be.

Section 230 was created specifically to protect services who tried to moderate content, but who didn't do a perfect job, because (the thought was) imperfect moderation is better than nothing. It didn't come with a clause that said that companies would lose their protection if they were accidentally banned the wrong person, or if they had inconsistent standards, or if their standards were lazy.

> Should that be legally protected?

Legally, it is protected. Should is a separate question, and people are free to believe whatever they want. There is no shortage of Democrats and Republicans in Congress right now who are asking that same question, although the two parties seem to have radically different, incompatible ideas about what the world is going to look like when the protection goes away. And then there are a few people like Barr who mostly just care about using 230 as a proxy to attack encryption, which is at least a nonpartisan goal that the DOJ has consistently pursued across multiple presidencies.

But the point is, whatever these people's motivations, if you really think that Section 230 was a mistake, it's not impossible that you might be able to get a world without it in the future -- and then we'll all find out whether or not it was a good idea. Just expect some hefty resistance from people like me, as well as from organizations like the EFF and ACLU.
I hope to see a democratic China in my lifetime. Rationalize the “cold shoulder” however you like. But the CCP has so much more than to answer for beyond their self-interested COVID cover-up. Ask a Uighur Muslim who’s fortunate enough to “graduate” from their re-education camp. Or maybe inquire further with one of the untrustworthy who have been black listed by the social credit system. There are so many reasons to give the CCP the cold shoulder. It’s also fitting that this article comes out near the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Like another posted earlier though: easier said than done.
I love the IWTYTBR philosophy too. My favorite part is the concept of "guilt-free spending". Once you get the "big wins" down like you talked about, you can set aside 15-20% of your monthly net income to be spent any way you like. This seems intuitive at face value, but the example Rami uses with buying a $150 pair of cashmere sweatpants brings it home. It was inside his $500/month or whatever "guilt-free spending" budget, so it doesn't matter if it was a good deal or not. You just have to want it. He says his friends all commented how it was a dumb purchase and he could have gotten regular sweatpants for $20 instead, but that's missing the point.

I've taken the same approach, and this month some of my guilt-free spend went to a nice burr coffee grinder to replace my old blade one. But I'm not going to try to calculate the amortized joy per $ or long-term savings I'll get out of it, I just love brewing coffee, this makes it better, and I could afford it.
