Nice try? Look, mate, I intentionally only provided a reference to show that the idea of commonality between hard-left and hard-right is not a new one without going into the correctness of it or if it is the same as what you feel. My point is that it is not new and not weird. It is not even only an idea, as one can already observe both sides cooperating on some issues in Europe.

Apparently my bland non-committal comment was already provocative enough to get down-voted.

I don't have an inclination to debate it further as both of your comments are peppered with descriptions (salt-of-the-earth Trump/Brexit voter, common folk...) that suggest this would unlikely be fruitful.
I don’t think reducing the effective range of your car to preserve battery life will be very popular; people want the freedom to drive as far as they can, because it’s hard to predict when they will need that capability, and charging is very slow. If someone does have a very predictable routine they can just not overcharge their car in the first place and save the discharge wear.
Don't forget about Go:

func Open(name string) (file *File, err error)

Your basic Optional/Maybe monad would have worked better here.

There is a lot of evidence supporting the fact that Rob Pike and company when inventing Go were not aware of Sum types indicating that this special Tuple return type (that can never be reused anywhere and must be pattern matched immediately after it returns) was created because of lack of knowledge and not as a design choice.

See this thread as evidence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6821389
DoH does not fix the security issues with DNS. My ISP hijacks it and sends you to a page full of ads when you visit a missing domain just like older DNS. The browser vendors even provide explicit instructions for this.

Literally all this does is break things.
One thing I did to make this hell more tolerable is I would write all my documents in org-mode (markdown) and use Pandoc to convert to MS Word format for distribution. My Word documents actually looked better than everyone else's. I was still able to use git to control the source of the documents.

Less than a year later I left that job. I'd rather learn a trade than be paid to use MS Office.

This is definitely not true. There are plenty of people who like to share their work without any monetary reward (be it either direct or indirect, building their personal 'brand' etc.), but who do it just for the fun of sharing and communicating with each other.

The extreme focus on startups, earning money with your special thing, etc. that is common here is not representative for the whole world. There are plenty of people who can do without that. At least, it used to be that way. I'll admit that this 'get rich online' culture that is prevalent here is spreading more and more to the rest of society.

My understanding (from a comment I heard on GCN) is that Strava expanding their subscription model (vs transitioning to an ad-based model) is in part due to their fear of losing users due to ads. But then again, cyclists that use Strava probably have the same attitudes toward technology as HN readers (myself included).

Either way, as a network admin, DoT is easy to block -- you simply redirect all port 53 traffic to your own DNS. DoT will either fail, or fallback to plain text.

Can't easily block all port 443 traffic (may as well not give any service), and as servers grow maintaining a blacklist of DoH would be problematic - especially when the DoH server is hidden behind normal sites on cloudflare etc.

Of course a sysadmin can always establish a VPN on any port to any IP with TCP, UDP, ICMP, or even running a VPN over unencrypted DNS, and bypass all that network work other than very specific IP whitelisting.

As a network admin and a sysadmin, I want to be able to control my systems from my network without losing control. I like the idea of DoH, I just don't want to have to reconfigure my DoH server everytime I want to connect to a split-brain network, or have an alternative PTR server, and I certainly don't want my browser using a different source for DNS to my other applications.

I don’t have a lot of faith in their ability to automate things.

The few startups I’ve interviewed at were full of very smart people who were very bored and spent their days finding the most complex way to implement web forms. I remember one explaining how they had implemented this insane distributed database that synchronized over the network so the text fields would be the same if you switched browsers half way through filling a form out.
> I doubt many people use a webapp/SPA and click the browser back instead of the in-app back when they want in-app navigation

On phones, the native ‘back’ button is vastly more easy to tap than searching for where the designer placed their button this time and then likely reaching for the farthest corner of the screen, opposite of where my thumbs are. So much so that I get surprised and annoyed when a page that has fullscreen-y dialogs doesn't close them on ‘back’ but returns me to another page instead.

On desktop, personally for me at least one of the hands is usually on the keyboard in the proximity of ‘backspace’, which is again a no-brainer to mash. So the same consideration applies.
I would think in an extended power outage, like an earthquake or hurricane, the first thing people would do is to stop their car from draining into the grid. Natural disasters bring out a survival mindset, and people want to keep their options open, and power for their own use.

Maybe a different machine? I meant that it was not in one of the general-purpose clusters: the entire pool was dedicated and a random team couldn't request Borg quota in it. For years, though, half of the Oregon datacenter was special for one reason or another.

The infamous machine did go through repairs and part swaps many times, as you could see from its long and troubled hwops history.

The worst machines were the zombies with NICs bad enough to break Stubby RPCs, but still passing heartbeat checks. Or breaking connections only when (re)using specific ports. Fun times!

We're involved in the first large scale V2G trial in the UK.[1] Our round trip efficiency is about 90%, which is better than pumped hydro which serves the same purpose.[2] Part of the point of the trial is to see what the impact is on the battery, but as a sibling comment mentions, there is evidence that it is actually better for the battery than just letting it sit.

> There's no language in which you would be able to write a function for arbitrary data structures using sum(), and get a reasonable outcome.

Computing the number of bytes used by a data type seems perfectly reasonable use of sum in that context. This is also achievable in many languages. All 'sum' needs is a map from a value to a number, which can have many sensible meanings even for arbitrary data types.

> I don't think this is incorrect at all! There's a very good reason to use join instead of sum for adding strings together: join is a lot more efficient than simply adding strings together, because it will precompute the amount of space needed for the resulting string at once and then put all the strings into the buffer at once, whereas using sum in the naïve way suggested would do a different append for each element.

Differing performance characteristics should not break the semantics of an abstraction. That's an abstraction leak which prevents writing generalized abstractions.

It seems to me that, in the last couple of years, the world has been taking some huge steps back. Not all the problems are new, but some of them have been getting worse or have been made more obvious due to Corona.

There are too many to mention, and it would be boring to expand on all of them, but just to name a few:

- Climate change. Even with the biggest possible help due to Corona, global emissions haven't fallen significantly. The general sentiment I get is that most people are not willing to give up anything from our modern lifestyles in the West, so I get this sinking feeling that we are headed straight for the cliff and, instead of slamming the breaks, we are accelerating. Moreover, it looks like climate change denial is still a thing.

- Inequality

- Growing nationalism & growing anti-EU sentiment. This is especially happening in Europe - see Hungary, Poland, UK, but it's more or less across the board.

- Trump. The upcoming election will be between Trump and Biden. This makes me terribly sad.

- Mass surveillance

- Growing division among generations, countries, ethnicities.

- Conspiracy theories seem to be on the rise

- We are addicted to smartphones, Facebook and Instagram

There are also countries where democracy is going downhill - just look at Turkey, Russia, Hong Kong, Brazil, China. I could even add the USA to this list, things are definitely not getting better.

The year is 2020, and we still have so many countries under oppressive regimes, women as second class citizens, ethnic cleansing and so on.

Why is the world so crazy? Has it always been like this? Is it better now than 10, 20, 50 years ago? Because it seems to me that the future is bleaker than ever.

If CPU was bad, then that means that you kept running the instance on the same node. Quick was to test if it was "cattle" would have been to try on a different node

>the criticism seem a little off for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.

IMO the reason is quite easy to put the finger on:

It's because it is framing the problem squarely as one of the user, culminating in the phrase that one is "voluntarily choosing".

If you don't want to do research and customize scripts for every friggin' domain/website (and having to do it again when the site structure changes), there is no "voluntary choice".

If you don't want to accept that this "solution" has to forgo a lot of essential characteristics of hypermedia, there is no "voluntary choice".

If you're not technically versed in these things, there never was a "voluntary choice" to begin with.

In general, if you want to use the World Wide Web remotely as it is intended, there is no "voluntary choice".

That's... not the point. When you watch a youtube video, you have the youtube logo staring at your face. No matter how technically illiterate you are, you know you're on youtube. When your website is hosted on amazon, there's no component of the UI saying "Hey, we're on amazon property". Thus Amazon hypothetically hosting an Alex Jones website would be a lot less damaging to their brand than Youtube hosting an Alex Jones video.
It's not far fetched... but it gets into somewhat abstract (or debated, at least) economics.

For an analogy, neoclassical-adjacent economics' take on international trade practices like dumping or export subsidies is pretty much what you said. EG, if China subsidizes toothbrush exports, the rest of the world gets subsidized toothbrushes at chinese taxpayers' expense. A similar point to the one you are making.

This argument is typically to counter the claim that export subsidies unfairly kill local production, and/or forces a subsidy war.

Riffing on David Graeber (the polar extreme, and not exactly an economist) somewhat... I'd interpret Uber's investor-subsidized losses differently. Investors haven't really lost much money so far, the stock price is fairly flat. They buy shares, and then they have those shares.

The shares themselves are a type of money which companies print. It is new money. Investor buys one share for $1. His net worth has not changed. Uber's bank balance has changed, and they can now fund another $1 of losses. As long as the share price holds, losses are offset by the new money (share) creation. It's that new money subsidizing rides.

On a less abstract note... I think it's important to remember that subsidies don't just transfer. They also create waste... which no one benefits from. For every $1 lost, consumers only gain a few pennies of value (utility in old timey economist speak) goes to consumers and/or drivers.

The whole reason that uber needs to subsidize rides is that consumers aren't consuming enough of them at "full price." That means they don't value rides at full price.
It's an eye-catching headline but maybe there's nothing to see here. The resignation may be unrelated to the upcoming mission. I couldn't see anything in the article to suggest otherwise.
