Centralization? In America?

You mean how the tax authority distributes the work to Intuit and HR Block?

How housing is distributed to private owners, financiers, and realtors?

The problems we’re experiencing are due to the opposite of centralization. Arguments against it are ideological conservatism.

Post office was a model of efficiency and distribution for an org that size until the GOP saddled it with debt.

In fact MOST human need centric social services in the US historically did great work on a dime budget.

And consider how much duplication of effort we get instead. Instead of NOAA sharing accurate weather data, we get Accuweather who takes NOAA data and wraps it in story mode for the innumerate masses who still believe in literal human hierarchy dictated from top down.

Utilitarian centralization of needs can and has in recent history, worked fine.

It’s limbic systems riddled with memes of the past, that can’t express motor agency outside a restricted norm that are the problem.

The concepts themselves are just that.

Connect to the mindset of local and you’ll see central shared effort is how local thinks. It’s where those broader ideas of federal centralization grew from!

Centralization can work. What we have is a terrorist political organization fighting against the end of their ideology in the form of Republicans and Democrats who prefer fealty to the past story they know and read about all day. Not the emerging one thanks to shifts in technology and social agency.

Imagine just getting a slip of paper in the mail with taxes owed?

Or not pricing 5 different package carriers?

This uncentralized waste playing ideology whack a mole is infuriating. It’s to prevent the centralized work habits, to enable authoritarian desire to grift on our work and game our agency.

“If the public were allowed to collectively build agencies that were successful, I might not be a rich important person!”
Startup family culture has some truth that you spend more time at your workplace than at home. But some SV companies take it way too far.

At the end of the day every company gets your skill and in return compensate with stocks and salary. That’s all there is to it. If they don’t value your skill, you’re fired.

You don’t disown your kids because you don’t value their skill. Family is for life (mostly). Jobs aren’t.

The manufacturer prices would be higher, thus triggering price gouging laws.
There's a throughline the author would like us to follow: the fate of the Segway might end up being the fate of Lime/Jump/Bird/etc. This might be true, but a major reason Segway failed was the price tag. $5,000-$10,000 (the price of a Segway) is how much a solid 200-500cc motorcycle would run you.

Scooters look kind of silly, too, but they at least won't break the bank.
>There are 5.1 million people working in hospitals.

And most of them are wearing full PPE when possible for many hours a day, if anything your numbers point to the effectiveness of masks.

>Schools across Europe have opened. Children rarely spread the disease. Doctors recommend schools open.

I really don't understand your point of view at all. The US had more cases yesterday than the entire EU combined. We had roughly 1/3 of Germany's total cases over the past 4 months in a single day. How can you actually point to them and think we can do the same things they're doing here in the US?

The US has bungled it's response so badly it boggles the mind. We have by far the most cases and deaths and even on a per capita basis we have by far the most cases and deaths in the developed world and more than most of the developing world. The idea that we should just open up and let potentially thousands of kids, tens of thousands of their parents countless others die so they can sit in a classroom and have a blue haired liberal arts major blather at them for 8 hours a day is simply ridiculous.

>Death rates are not surging in proportion to cases.

Deaths have a 4-6 week lag and are steadily increasing, at the same time a larger fraction of cases are young people(who are less likely to die) flouting the rules and getting infected in large numbers at bars and social events.
Oh yeah, the headline and some of the article text is like that!

There is some good stuff like you said.

Brief summary: after attempting many optimizations with Go, they attempted a rewrite in Rust—since they had experience using it for some of their other essential services—which resulted in a performance boost along with avoiding the (memory) inefficiency Go incurred: forced garbage collection that affected their cache and resulted in spiked CPU usage and response times.
VSCode, not VS - I used the user version, which didn't require admin privileges but as soon as I started trying to install libraries (e.g. Pandas etc), no dice. Some environments may vary - but like I said, time is limited, no issues with Pycharm.
Youtube search for Sivananda yoga. All the breathing / poses are effectively the same and it is very simple traditional yoga that has been practiced for a very long time.

Anyone can do it and there are different variations of different amounts of time. I personally skip the headstand stuff because I worry about hurting my neck, but the rest of it is very non-stressful on your body, but quite effective.
It's the same deal tho - the federal government has no jurisdiction over the healthcare system either. The Obamacare, if you recall, in large part hinged on a "tax" created just for this purpose because taxation is the purview of the fed, which was a hack.

And even if Trump issued a "mask mandate" on the first day, for example, who is to enforce it? The FBI?
Cool cool, why are you here then?
Doesn't seem to support "from:{screen_id}" in search, a bummer.
During a code review we found recently written Go code using SHA1, which has been functionally obsolete since 2005. It's a bit baffling why Google even included it in Go or at the very least didn't make it throw up a bunch of warnings to only use it for very special edge cases related to backward compatibility.

The developer didn't know what algorithm to pick so he just went with one at random, assuming it was ok since it was in the library. How many other security vulnerabilities are out there due to similar circumstances? It's a bit troubling.
On Firefox for Android for example, the vast majority of video playing sites automatically continue to play in the background. YouTube should, but it has code specifically to check for Firefox tabs being backgrounded and pause the player. So it's going out of its way to disable a feature of the browser. Happily this can be reversed with an extension, but yes, it is an intentional anti-feature. Whether you agree with that business practice is your own judgement.

Personally I think the real value add of Youtube Premium is the ability to offline videos in the official app; that's not something the browser can normally do. Well, and the secondary effect of contributing somewhat to creators, even if the payout isn't significant through that channel. It's nice for it to be automatic and not require an explicit subscription.
Ah, ok, I missed that. And now I understand why you submitted https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/readme/#history originally. But are the differences with v2 enough to support a substantively different discussion? I would say probably not? This comes up whenever new versions of projects are released - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 for a longer explanation.

I'd be happy to make an exception if there's a case for the diff with v2.

Charter schools take funding that was made by the public for the public and decide to do whatever they want from it.

Well damn, I don't think there is anything below 3.00% (3.50% more common) where I live.

That's nominal - 3.5% - 4.0% is the effective interest rate. I don't know much about mortgages, so not sure if I'm missing something. Congrats on your place - it looks great!
Awesome! This type of app will always lead to greater conversions for Youtube Premium. I had Youtube vanced and could not live without those features but I also wanted to support creators so I got Youtube Premium and never looked back

You might have had a migraine aura. I have them. One of my coworkers has them too, and they told him it was retina detachment, until he had an episode that lasted one hour before going right back to normal. That was a clue that it was migraine aura all along.
Heart palpitations? I had a similar feeling when I got up in the night to urinate. I used a pulse oximeter to reassure myself that its okay and eventually over the weeks it stopped happening. I think there a lot of common causes as listed in the link below.

I believe that you are missing LanceH's point. I'll try to put it in different terms.

Here's a football game. Team A scores 17 points on 284 yards of offense. Team B scores 10 points but has 317 yards of offense. Team B's fans say "We won on total offense!" That's great, Team B fans. Here, have a lollipop.

Why am I being so condescending? Because no football game is decided based on total offense. They're decide on points. Team B "won" something that is a statistical category, not a game.

In the same way, Hillary won a statistic, not an election. So all this "Trump lost the popular vote" is... yeah, so what? Winning the popular vote plus six bucks will get you a latte at Starbucks. And Democrats knew what the rules were going into the election, and have known ever since. Who cares about the popular vote? It's totally irrelevant. They. Lost. The. Election.

Minneapolis is where the protests started, though, so it makes sense that they would be more intense there in Houston. And beyond "not exhaustive," one example is essentially no evidence at all, unless you believe protests inherently turn violent without people open carrying firearms. Some actual numbers on property damage in multiple cities compared to rates of firearm ownership and ideally open carrying would be useful, but I'm not sure we have those.
An ad for "18 YEAR OLD WOMEN" is scary? They don't bite.

It seems generic not really weird.
That's true. A counterpoint is Japan or Sweden where citizens changed their behaviour prior to any government action. Social distancing, avoiding bars, public transport, staying away from elderly relatives, face masks, etc etc. I think it's a sad state of affairs if people only take action under the instruction from a government.
> The current administration keeps blaming the previous one for drawing down on the federal PPP supply without replenishing it (dubious claim), so there was exactly zero reason for this[1] to happen.

The claim is "dubious", so (therefore) there was exactly no reason for this to happen?

> “The national stockpile used to be somewhat more robust. In 2006, Congress provided supplemental funds to add 104 million N95 masks and 52 million surgical masks in an effort to prepare for a flu pandemic,” Bloomberg News continued. “But after the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, which triggered a nationwide shortage of masks and caused a 2- to 3-year backlog orders for the N95 variety, the stockpile distributed about three-quarters of its inventory and didn’t build back the supply.”

(Note that this is from The Washington Post)

I don't disagree that there's no GOOD reason for this to happen, other than the unfortunate reality that human beings are not very good at thinking, at least compared to how well we perceive ourselves to think. As far as I can tell, almost all humans are living in some sort of a severe state of delusion at all times, our minds and societies haven't had nearly enough time to evolve to accommodate the massive increase in complexity in the last few hundred years, let alone the last 20.
Yes, here north of the border it was Phoenix Pay. It seems to me anytime you pay 1.2B for a software project it is destined to fail from the start. The consulting company will overcomplicate things and cram so many cooks in the kitchen to justify the price tag that it's doomed.

I hope you realize that apps like these kill the ecosystem for content creators who are paid based on ads. If you don't like YT ads, pay for the premium version. But suggesting that this app is great is not right. Anyways, I trust if this becomes big, YT will kill them anyways.

YT API requires keys and they know exactly what is going on here and can shut it down in a heartbeat if they want to. This is exactly what happened to apps built on top of Twitter APIs back in the day.
Our company had been looking to move our project away from Knockout.JS and on to Vue/React. I started playing around with native Web Components just because I like the idea of not being locked into a single framework.

However, I also wanted to keep using observables/computeds so I wrote a quick library that ties MobX with Native Web components, but has a Vue-like binding syntax.

Yes I know it’s yet another library, but it mainly just provides for a simple way to use MobX (an established library) with Web Components (a browser standard), and nothing else. It’s still very new but it works and I’d love feedback.

I need to run the numbers on refi. I'm on 3.25% fixed rate now and owe ~500k still, definitely not close to 50% paid off either.

Arm loans scare me only because of seeing what happened during the last housing collapse.

Looks like I have a lot of research to do on this but you all have given me some good starting poits to think about thanks!
> Children have a higher chance of dying in a car accident

Some numbers related to this claim:

In 2018 about 37,000 people died in the U.S. in motor vehicle accidents, not all of them were children.

Currently, about 250,000 people are dying per year from COVID19 in the U.S. Not all of them are children.

It's not clear to me that your claim is true. Granted, only a few COVID19 deaths are children, but how many auto fatalities involve children?
Your history is in the Library. Its the bottom right-most tab.
To be clear, they definitely knew each other, I just don’t believe Adrian wanted Lucky to be custodian of his accounts.

Lucky would criticize Adrian behind his back all the time, and Adrian knew about it. They were rivals at best, and frenemies who barely tolerated each other in public at worst. Lucky’s the kind of guy who’ll toss someone right under the bus as soon as they’re no longer useful to him, but feign friendship until then.
All of that combined with the monetary connection, it's rather extraordinarily strong evidence.
Those are a) different cities and b) basically background radiation in terms of violence. There are about 30 gun murders a day in the US having two over this many weeks in two major cities is regrettable but statistically nothing.
Most of the vectors of COVID spread in the US have little to do with failing to close itself off from the rest of the world. If you have the political will, you can implement quarantine for international travelers, which will catch the overwhelming majority of externally-sourced cases.

The US did not do so, because it was too disruptive to business, and because good, sober governance has been an explicit non-goal for the past few decades, on both state and federal level - but especially in the last few years.

Stop spreading misinformation in here please.
There is no way that >99% cases are mild when the current estimates put the actual fatality rate to around 1%.
You are just repeating Trump lies, and lies are not well accepted here.
Personally I think it's more likely that the low salaries in other areas of technology (particularly physical products) has pushed people to software, rather than high salaries in software pulling them. Same effect in the end but I think the race-to-the-bottom in manufacturing, machining, and physical product development began the cycle. Soaring software salaries followed.
Sure. Download the APK from the F-Droid website [1] and install it with adb install. If you want to build it yourself, you can build it like any regular Android app with gradle, or by following the F-Droid recipe [2] (edit: which does not provide much useful information in the case of NewPipe, but it can be a great source of information for apps that are more difficult to build, especially if you want to remove the proprietary bits / tracking parts).

You won't get automatic updates, though. I encourage you to install F-Droid (that you can also install using adb install), and enable third party sources just for F-Droid (which is possible on the latest versions of Android). Or, if your bootloader is unlocked, flash the f-droid zip package and then you don't even need to enable third party apps and F-Droid will be even more enjoyable to use.

Why not both? This system seems open to having cases won/lost because the judge didn't ask the right question to expose a fact.
Curation of content creators. A presumption that efforts to create a brand will lead to long term quality and consistency in content and creators who are controversial will be removed.

You can do the equivalent of this using Youtube videos - the onus is on the parent to figure out how to block Youtube from auto-suggesting/auto-playing click bait viral videos after the tutorial you want the child to watch is over.
I had been thinking about this exact problem, to apply all the benefits of GitHub to the law profession, and to build Agreement.app

I bought the domain name, and recently reserved the app name in the app stores. But most importantly, I run a tech company which already built the technology, that lets us produce and launch an app like this within a few weeks.

This being Hacker Hews, I thought I'd try something cool, to bring capital and technology together right on the site. I welcome anyone here to contact me about partnering on it, especially if you work in a law firm. We would start a new company, jointly owned. Qbix would contribute the base technology to build it, launch it, as well as the entire initial user base once it’s launched. But we need to cover the cost of developing and iterating the app.

Here is the full proposal and business plan: https://qbix.com/links/agreement

If you're interested, simply email me at greg at the domain qbix.com and we can set up a Zoom call where I demo to you what we have at the moment.
Google not displaying relevant ads do NOT in any way make it less wrong. In your case, there are 2 'ethical' options: use premium or avoid the service. Btw I also use adblock so I am a part of the problem.

Great idea.
This seems to be a widespread problem. Nobody wants to spend money on maintenance. You can always find a grant to build new stuff, but maintenance you have to pay for yourself.
And to add onto this, the lack of parents have been a top down failure from the US government as well.
> It is (mostly) not true of the House.

It's absolutely true of the House, though because of granularity rather than fixed representation, so it's not simply smaller-states-are-overrepresented. (But instead smaller states have the most variable representation.)

> Yes, some states have House seats that represent somewhat fewer people than some other states

“Somewhat fewer” in the sense that 527,000 (Rhode Island) is “somewhat fewer” than 994,000 (Montana), but, while it's a narrower range than the Senate (65.7:1) or EC (3.59:1), 1.88:1 isn't a close ratio.
> You can have pneumonia that shows up on a chest X-ray (a sign) without any symptoms.

Your post is a bit confusing, I'm not exactly sure what you're arguing. Walking pneumonia (which is what you're describing; the term of art is atypical pneumonia) is extremely rare, and it's not what we're talking about here. Non-atypical pneumonia has symptoms, ergo is by definition not asymptomatic.
