Another example I wrote in different comment:

> Let me give you concrete scenario of where the current system breaks down. Let's say I own an apartment building on the edge of town, and the city decides to build a new transit line to the community. Rents in my apartment building will go up; let's say by $100. Renters are willing to pay an extra $100 because they value living near a transit line more than the being far from one. But why should that extra $100 go to my pockets, while the government has trouble even paying for transit system? It's not like I was the one who built transit system, it was funded by the income taxes of the people who work there, and then built by the government.

This applies to all infrastructure spending of course.

> Quick, look at a picture of the F-15 cockpit, and find the switch to set the LANTIRN pod from Day mode to Night mode. Now imagine you’re in a car and you can’t take your eyes off the road for more than a few seconds.

That sounds easy: if it's your car, so you'll soon familiarize yourself with where the physical controls are, so you won't need to take your eyes of the road for more than a moment (if you need to at all).

If it's not your car, a physical switch is no worse than a touchscreen. Navigating a screen forces you to take your eyes of the road for an extended period of time, since you need to use them to target your touch to the right part of the screen, even if you're already familiar with the UI.

In short: for controls that may be used while driving, physical controls are at a minimum no worse than a touchscreen and typically much better.

The only place where screens have an advantage is for extremely rarely used controls, like configuration settings. Even then, I'd argue that physical controls (like the F-15's castle button) are better for controlling the screen than using a touchscreen, since they allow a user to memorize key-press sequences.

Touchscreens really only make sense on extremely small devices like smartphones.

That’s not an ad hominem attack. The comment didn’t say that the person’s argument is wrong because that person is silly. Clearly the comment is saying that the argument itself is silly.
As I said in another comment, this is why there are property taxes. I don't think it's any different than income taxes. You own real estate, the society around you is a multiplier, so you owe a percentage. You make a salary, the society around you is a multiplier, so you owe a percentage.

In practice the percentage could be off, but the basic way the system works makes sense to me and I don't get the people who are sure that it's terribly wrong (whether because they are against taxes or against owning property).
It is rendered dysfunctional. Authorities of RTI have been diluted and funding has been witheld by the current govt which came to power pretending to care for transparency!

> STAR 5, Score: 4 (4.5), Approval: 4, RP: 3 (3.8), Schulze: 3, IRV: 1 Plurality: 0

I'm pretty similar. I like STAR and score about the same because I like simplicity, and don't see STAR as that huge an improvement over score. So maybe:

STAR: 5, score: 5, approval: 4, *Condorcet: 3, IRV: 2, plurality: 0
So church without any community? That’s, like, one of the reasons churches exist, they’re a place for a community to come together and get to know each other a little.

My inner Magician also notes that there are things that happen when you get a bunch of people in the same place focusing on the same stuff. It’s not in every church, some churches are pretty much designed to get in the way of these things. Mostly middle-class white ones, IMHO, they’re built to keep the commoners well away from any direct experience of the Divine. But it’s also not just in churches, talk to a serious raver for instance, come down to New Orleans and catch Rex with all your psychic feelers out, go to Burning Man, etc. Anywhere lots of people work themselves up into ecstatic states, there is the potential for magic. This stuff is not gonna happen with this five minute asynchronous ceremony.

I fully expect to be downvoted into oblivion for letting my inner Magician speak on this site full of “rational” money-seeking programmers. Perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised at how many people here are quietly mystical.
If property taxes are normal (not capped like in California), some of the effect is mitigated, but the property value increase is still greater than the tax increase. Real estate investing as an industry only exists because of the existence of property gaining value.

Most infrastructure spending requires income taxes and transfers from the federal government, so clearly there is wealth transfer happening to the landlords.

The OP said Scala-like. A big advantage of Scala/Spark over Python is more compile-time checking: the code is much less likely to fail at runtime. Particulary helpful for production code (e.g. pipelines). For people coming from an engineering background (as opposed to data science), Python's lack of any static type checking for data processing code can be a big productivity killer. In that sense, Nim might be able to offer similar advantages to Scala.

The idea of replacing ads with direct payments isn't entirely new, and the reason for it failing far more often than not is that nobody is willing to spend what they represent in ad-value themselves.

If you just divide FB's revenue by users you'll get, say $20/year (no idea, someone look it up).

But if FB were to offer an ad-free experience for $20, the users willing to pay will be the most valuable. If you're willing to pay $20, you are probably worth $40 in advertising. Maybe you'd be willing to pay $40? Turns out those people are worth $80.
That’s an extremely small variation in score. Why would that make you think they’re making stuff up? Networks and servers don’t always respond with identical timings.

Actually, yes. At least anecdotally– I _had_ to do this when my iPhone 5's lightning port was damaged.

When traveling overseas a cheap charger died, partially frying my lightning port. The phone completely refused to charge and I grew more and more desperate as the battery slowly drained over the next day before eventually dying. Now trying again to charge the dead phone had a surprising result: it actually charged enough to boot up! Ridiculously: it then stopped charging once booted and drained again in about 2 minutes.

The solution I developed was to plug it in _then_ power it off and it would charge (slowly) while completely powered down. Removing power for even a moment would boot the phone and stop charging.

I'd absolutely guess that, in a pinch, you could charge your modern iPhone with a non-working cable if you did the same procedure: plug in, power off, let charge while off.
This is obviously an insufficient answer. Why risk your one selling point on such a trivial bit of code?

> Any action is better than diluting the discussion with irrelevant information

At least you're aware enough of how embarrassingly dumb your comments are to use a throwaway account.
It's comparable to GNOME's calling Nautilus file manager 'GNOME Files' which is, in my view, disrespectful and takes away its 'personality' by making it sound like a generic file manager (which it sort of is, but that's beside the point). Imagine how people (who know the actual name of the software) would feel if Adobe 'Acrobat' Reader was renamed to 'Adobe PDF reader'

Ultimately, most of the new icons lack the level of detail the current ones have and will lose that in an attempt to achieve a 'coherent' icon shape.
Good point, that makes sense. I presume it will be completely autonomous for when average Joe will get to ride it just like a plane ride we have today.
GraalVM native images are slower right now, but there's no reason that has to be the case in the future. I think we all have realized over the last 2 decades that though JIT compilers (like the JVM) should be theoretically faster than a traditional native code compiler, this is rarely (if ever) the case. I wouldn't be surprised if over the next 10 years most JVM code (including Java, Scala, etc) is compiled to native images.

It's both clear that Oracle is pushing GraalVM hard and that it's what the consumer wants. If performance was identical, I can't think of a single reason why anyone would choose the regular JDK over GraalVM. It's not like people are slinging jars over the network between linux and windows... hell, now with WSL, that's not even a good reason either.
I'm pretty new to this so pardon me for asking, does this mean that FB can sell ad spots through interim companies?
> GP stated any use would be unlike Apple

The context is the stuff that uses lightning. Taking it so literally, to the point of downvoting, is definitely not in the spirit of "strongest plausible interpretation".

So, sure, the ipad pro has USB-C, and that's worth pointing out as a minor note. But the reason iPhone doesn't use it is in very large part a combination of stubbornness from being first and NIH.

> Your ‘overuse’ crack doesn’t jibe well with the suggestion of NIH syndrome; USB-C is an industry standard and all vendors should be and are adopting it.

All laptops should have multiple USB-C ports. But getting rid of every single type A port is putting too much emphasis on C.

> Lightning was invented before USB-C and solved issues that standards of the day (2010), including the various USB connectors, did not for another 5 to 6 years.

Are you comparing the invention date of lightning to the widespread adoption of USB-C? Because USB-C was announced in 2013 and almost certainly qualifies as 'invented' in 2012 if not earlier. And there were devices sporting it in 2014, only two years after lightning devices.

Well, maybe it just isn't true that real estate is a perpetual money machine. If it was, yes, that would be a problem because it would eat the world. But people always exaggerate the permanence and universality of any bubble.

You can dismiss it as anecdotal evidence, but I live very far away from SF, in a place built in the early 90s, within city limits, and it has not increased in value faster than inflation in all these years.

I am happy to pay for quality writing I can't find elsewhere, and in fact I subscribe to a Substack.

I don't necessarily see the nascent bundling as a problem. Newspapers, which were the workhorses of writing, were bundled geographically which makes less sense now. Bundling by interest makes a lot more sense.

Hopefully the writing supported by this paid model can be as creative as cable TV used to be, compared to network TV.

I disagree with your factual statements as well as political theoretical statements.

Regarding political theoretical statements:

There are different paradigms of liberal democracy currently. Some of them can be regarded as appealing to the will of the majority for legitimacy, but essentially they don't assume that the majority are reasonable, but merely that we shall respect the will of the majority and base policies on their stance.

Disregarding illiberal democracy paradigms, all liberal democracy paradigms recognize the value of minority voices and recognize that their rights shall be protected, the right to freely express included.

Regarding the factual statements:

The mainstream US media didn't take social media as an input of significance for understanding the majority stance of US population before 2016. Those journalists had their echo chambers and represented a vocal minority in their echo chambers.

Social media, on the other hand, provides a meaningful alternative allowing some different opinion groups to express their opinions beyond the echo chambers of mainstream media. The liberal-leaning mainstream media now has a tendency to exaggerate the influence of some niche circles on social media (e.g. the so-called alt-right), though.

Bullshit populist conspiracy drivel. Any plane or helicopter crash is big news and gets scrutinized quite extensively.
The intent of the comment was probably not ad hominem, as if it were rephrased like "trusting ddg is silly" because then silly is modifying the act of trusting. But as-written, silly is modifying anyone (a person) without distinguishing whether silliness is the cause or the effect; if silliness is the cause of the trust then it's an ad hominem attack. It would be more clear-cut if instead of "silly" they said "low intelligence."
While RRO is great, it had a wrinkle: it’s a family fiefdom.

The Roberts family has been editing it since “the beginning,” and still do. Presumably the next editor will be the current editor child.

This presents small problems in terms of continuity.

The real reasons RRO is popular is because RRO is popular. There’s no way to replace it.

Not a huge problem now, and unlikely to be a huge problem in the future. I’m not worried, and I don’t think anyone else should be either.

Maybe family fiefdom isn’t always a bad thing?
Sure, they'll sell replacement cables, but they make a lot more "free" cables that sell with their phones and tablets. The cost/quality of the cables they package in phones matters to them a lot. They don't care a ton if additional cables sell well or not. And you're absolutely correct that many people will buy Apple official cables just because they're Apple official.

But here's the thing: Apple can't go selling premium cables and including cheapy ones in their phone boxes. The Apple brand has to be viewed as premium all the time, so they put a mediocre cable both in the box and sold on their website.
After playing with Java native stuff, one thing has become clear to me that is not general purpose technology where one can take existing Java application and make it native. It will not work even for apps that one write while choosing any library from vast Java ecosystem.

Framework vendors are betting on fact that most Java apps are HTTP/ORM/JSON plus metrics and security etc. So if framework provide transitive closure of these libraries and provide configuration to compile native, it will work.

For my purpose it does not work because I have many more dependencies which do not fit in above framework. Also I prefer to write my code directly with JDK and external libraries without any of these framework.
