The prediction holds, not the prediction is decided.
Isn't it proportional to the population size and density? In a small human group anonymity isn't really a factor, therefore most want to restrain themselves in order to avoid annoying known people, moreover when someone fails at it more often than not a third party knowing both the annoyed and the culprit tries (peacefuly) to restore peace.

When we need authoritarianism, something is too big.

> So I gotta wonder, why are the bystanders more mad than the alleged "victims" themselves? Do you realize how screwed up this is?

Can you clarify, cause I'm not sure what issue you're addressing? Am I a "bystander" in this, or an "alleged victim"?

As a "bystander," you think, therefore, that I am not poor/in poverty? What gave you that idea?
There were no any problems to recognize n-MOS logic during the reverse - everything was quite obvious regardless the transistor sizes. And I just dropped the sizes in my schematics, it simplified the process a lot.
I think I understand what you mean, but I am unsure rents are competitive. There is finite space around good locations (where "good" can roughly be defined as close to hospitals, groceries, services, transportation, high-speed Internet, parks and jobs). Wherever I lived I encountered two ways of setting rents:

* "Real" market pricing (e.g., France, Germany), where rent prices can pretty much go as high as needed (subject to some regulatory constraints). My experience is that rents eventually converge to 1/3 of the average income of people that want to live there. If you cannot pay up, you need to head for "worse" locations.

* Controlled market pricing (e.g., Sweden), which essentially means that you need to wait forever to get to the "good" locations or hope that a new "good" location will be built. The former is inaccessible to most people, the latter usually starts rents at 1/3 of the average income of people that could move in.

All-in-all, I suspect that UBI would eventually lead to increased prices in "good" locations, so the net benefit is negligible. Maybe people living in "less good" locations could benefit from UBI, but I feel that would still not help with the "flattening of wealth" that UBI tries to achieve.

> Watch how media is lying about her being African American.

They aren't. The media are mostly saying that she is both the first Black woman and first Asian (sometimes specifically South Asian) of either gender to be in either slot on a major party Presidential ticket. Which is, entirely, true. Some (though IME a minority; usage has shifted recently) may use “African American” in place of Black, which is also accurate.

> She's Indian and Jamaican

Black people got to Jamaica from the same place (and for the same reason) they got to the rest of the Americas.

> and family owned slaves - doesn't matter to me but it does matter a lot to the current left.

There is very little of the current left to whom it matters that an African American is of mixed race, or that their ancestors were in Jamaica between Africa and the US, or that someone’s distant ancestors owned slaves (which is true, in fact, of quite a lot of the current left, including—perhaps especially, due to the sexual dynamics of chattel slavery in the Americas—Blacks.) Those things tend to be more right-wing distortions of different left-wing positions that the right would rather avoid dealing with head on than significant left-wing positions, though if you tried really hard you could probably find someone on the left who cares about each of those things.

She has substantial opposition on policy issues and past actions in government from some of the left, which isn’t surprising since, like Biden, she's basically a centrist Democrat, though (also like Biden) somewhat more progressive than the center of mass of the centrist neoliberal faction, though. OTOH, it is more the kind of opposition that matters in a primary than a general election.
Fascinating, this doesn't use `libgit2` anywhere. I didn't expect that. Very cool.
I tried to interact with Git from rust code once. The only option for any language is libgit2 or its bindings, and let me tell you, it's terrible.

I was this close to just calling git from the shell when i eventually just gave up.
> Does this mean running in a public cloud might actually be more secure?

Yes with two conditions:
1. your public cloud is run by an Amazon, Google, Microsoft-type company (FANMAG)
2. You trust the company to lean on rule of law.

1. Very few providers have the capability and desire to put the work into supply chain security, things like OpenTitan, etc.

2. They might hand over your data in response to warrant, but their systems are designed to prevent covert extraction of data. The company should have a track-record of pushing back against overly broad warrants.
As an anecdote, some of the brightest founders I’ve met, and have had the pleasure of working with - would certainly fall into this category.

Some of these folks have expressed their challenges in functioning optimally in traditional structured 9-to-5’s, open-office environments and the like. Perhaps they are motivated by creating an environment that works for them, rather than being a product of a one-size-fits-all approach.

We need to embrace neurodiversity, not stigmatize it.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.“
I don't think the author thinks git is broken, most likely the opposite. I often reimplement things I admire or want to learn how they work. I would guess that is one of the motivations of this project.

Ask HN: Is there a public 3rd party GitHub status monitor?
When I access GitHub and get an error, I'm often unsure whether it's because of issues with my connection or because GitHub is genuinely not working and hasn't updated its status page.

Is there an existing third party GitHub status page with a higher resolution than the official GitHub status page? I'm asking here because discussions about GitHub uptime are popular and I hope someone has already found a solution.

Let's keep this thread about high resolution status monitoring instead of GitHub uptime, we've had a lot of the latter already, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22763270 .

You were never taught it in a rote fashion.

Fact is all intelligence services are heavily into their science and control. Its not just computer hacking they are into, they use psychology, medicine and finance to control the population. They have evolved the techniques first used and developed by successive religions since at least as far back as the ancient Sumerians.

Solomon Asch and his conformity experiments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIh4MkcfJA which continue to evolve to this day, is a useful tool for keeping people out of trouble, otherwise to quote an ancient religious expression "The devil makes work for idle hands to do" and who wants to go backwards in the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs?

So just like some people do not want to believe that God doesnt exist, some people do not want to believe their country's security services are spying on them 24/7 since the day they were born, hence why the hierarchical structure of society, currently called democracy, but included Royal governance and religious governance in the past, is still the leading way to operate in plain sight after more than 10,000 years of society.

I've recently started going to bed at 2000-2100 and it's nice to not need to worry about this stuff anymore. I start work at ~0800 and I'm usually awake from 0400-0600 so I never risk oversleeping, and my body gets as much sleep as necessary.

I'm also a morning person, so using the first two hours of the day to work on personal projects or stuff I want to learn is working out well. I guess my professional work can suffer as I start to lose concentration about 1400 but I can live with that!
There is some fascinating research on how children think vs adults. Adults use much more their frontal cortex (responsible for rational thought). However, when children experience trauma, e.g. abuse they will use much more their frontal cortex. The kicker is that those kids when they become adults use the frontal cortex much less, thus becoming more impulsive less rational.
Back in the 90s it was assumed that specs would be written in a specification language, and we'd be able to prove our software by automated testing using the pre/post conditions.

We'd mainly spend our time writing UML and thinking back to the bad old days when writing software was using old fashioned text editors like vim and emacs, and we'd be wondering how those fools managed to get anything done.

Meanwhile back in reality, it's the same old.

Try getting children to learn to play guitar or piano or math purely through intrinsic moyovation. They might be into it for a bit, but not enough for regular practice. But, when they have enough skill, they can then develop further intrinsic motivation to really get good.

Can confirm: “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once,”

That doesn't help any.

Much worse though, and not mentioned, is that the high-pressure spray used in water-limited toilets has been proven to launch fecal matter up into the air. It's like the toilet coughs and sneezes. Lots of people keep toothbrushes in the bathroom, so those get contaminated.

The idea that "current rules saved consumers money by conserving water and fuel" is paternalistic nonsense. Nobody proposes to prohibit low-flow designs, even if they do soil toothbrushes and thus cause a public health problem. It will always be an option to install a low-flow device.
I would agree up to perhaps £100k (or perhaps £150k in an expensive place like SF) but beyond that I think there are very diminishing returns to wealth and other things, like vision/purpose and relationships dominate decision-making. (Well obviously not for everyone, but for a lot of people.)

I don't know the source of this, but I remember reading that most people who become good at things, by practicing for 10 years or whatever, were intrinsically motivated to do so. It's not a process of "want to be good -> force self to practice -> become good", but more of "want to practice -> become good". Can't remember if this was just conjecture, and I'm not a citeable source myself, but it seems like a more likely story. I know I've heard stories of talented people who got where they are because they spent all day noodling on the guitar, or writing programs, but I've heard less stories about people who didn't really enjoy the practice but forced themselves into it via willpower.

Not to say that "just noodling" is all that the person needed, or that no willpower was required, but that the process might be more intrinsic for the people who are actually going to become great anyway.
Why would they get a say in that?
I imagine there are different motivations for different people.

Some people may just want to use rust to re-implement something that exists in order to hone their skills or just for fun. Having a reference implementation makes that more productive.

Other people may think that it would simply be better if the project were implemented in rust. This is the case for some C projects, where a lot of control is still necessary but the project would benefit from the safety and productivity gains of rust. See the example of QEMU yesterday. It is an absolute pain in the ass to do things well in C. Correct programs end up being heaps of boilerplate and tests. I'd love to escape C but haven't been able to until Rust.

Maybe some people just want to showcase that Rust can do the thing. I think that's fine. It might help in adoption. It might cause better libraries to be created that are actually used.

For me, rust is the first real competitor in the systems programming market. There are hundreds of languages for application programming. I prefer Haskell, Java and JS for those but I've never found a replacement for C in the low-level domain. C++ just never cut it for me and the alternatives never really caught on. For me, Rust brings a lot of what we learned from Haskell and ML to C without sacrificing the low-level control. If I wanted to get better at Rust, I'd probably also implement something that exists just so I could check my work. If I was to re-implement some of the low-level projects that I've worked on, I'd also probably do that in Rust.

I'm getting really tired of comments like this though. Why does it bother you so much? Are you trying to communicate that you'd prefer this person be doing something else with their time? What does that even mean?
I used libgit2 a lot, the only thing I disliked about it was the lack of documentation (well, the source code is the ultimate documentation?).

Talk about a false dichotomy there. No person is fully a pessimist or optimist. Framing it in terms like this just serves to stifle actual discussion. A nice soundbite from someone who happened to be optimistic about the right thing.

* Find out that macOS support in LibreOffice, and another alternative OpenOffice, is an elaborate hoax similar to this function:

func libreOpenOfficeForMacUsers(time:3600s, bandwidth:500MB) { while (time) { time -= 1; sleep } return poop }

Basically, running the apps on macs using retina displays (intr. 2012) results in 100% CPU usage when scrolling even on a blank page, presumably due to a bug or an extremely inefficient update/drawing method. This has been an issue for 8 years.

Bug link for LibreOffice
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113104

I downloaded and tried out both LibreOffice, OpenOffice.
The result was 4fps while scrolling or resizing windows, and of course there was the expected extreme heat generation and 100.0 energy usage in activity monitor due to max CPU usage. [My mac is MBP2020 w 5600m, and yes I love it A LOT!]

There will probably always be particular code transformations (algorithmic or target-machine-specific) that speed up your code and that your general purpose compilers will not find. (And that's good, because otherwise the compile time would be horrible!)

The good thing about compiler optimizations is not that they produce actual "optimal" binaries, but that they allow you to not care too much about performance when writing code (e.g. using abstractions that will be inlined, etc.) and still get a decent binary.
If you then require more performance (which will probably not be the case for most applications) you can still search for bottlenecks and start optimizing by hand there.

Surely ambition and pleasure do not preclude each other.
I never mentioned bulk goods. I mentioned items that are time sensitive. Most e-commerce is latency sensitive. I recently started getting groceries on an hour delivery. It’s a game changer. Amazon could probably power a network like that by itself. What would a 2 hour Amazon delivery to most cities do? What markets does it enable access to? How do you compete with that?

It’s too easy to think of why something won’t work. Rather think “is there a customer and a product for which latency is important but is unfulfilled by current infrastructure”. Don’t use my examples, make your own. Saying “no” to that question is to bet against human desires and ingenuity.

Freshest (anything) from 200km away within 2 hours. Will top restaurants pay for that? Latest widget from a warehouse 500km away in 2 hours. Allows Amazon to compete with local stores. Allows medical supplies to get there in a surge. I’m sure you can think of something.
> Teaching is such a valuable skill in itself! And, it can be improved.

You dont improve peoples skills in general just by throwing them into water and hoping that swimming happens by itself.
I really don't understand the hate towards every language that is not Rust.

Rust provide you tools to avoid many security issues. But that does not mean everything that hasn't been written in Rust is broken by default.

You still have "unsafe" in Rust, so is it broken by default and design and we should throw away the language ? Obviously not!
Gradually?
What I would like to know is how much of Mozilla's executive pay is linked to performance and how that performance is measured.

I don't think many would complain about their salaries if what they did actually worked. But Mozilla is being run into the ground before our eyes.

If the availability of people with a non-profit ethos affects competitive pay for non-profits, then that should be taken into a account.

Maybe such a person exists to lead Mozilla. But the primary goal should be to find someone who can turn the organisation around. I haven't seen anything that makes me believe that current management can do it.
Another option is to do things on a schedule. E.g. you work out how much of something you need per month, and make sure that you order that much every month (if you order/buy every month). Sometimes you use less, sometimes more, but then you just take one order to "skip" if you have too much, etc.

Also, it helps with consumption on some level. You start adjusting your consumption based on how low/high you see your stocks. Other than that, make sure you always have a bit of a buffer and you'll be fine. Especially now with the pandemic, lockdowns and supply-chain irregularity.

I've played a little with storybooks now included-by-default addon-controls package (designated successor to addon-knobs) and got to say, the API has become worse - especially if you are using TypeScript. It seems the API wasn't created at all with strong typing in mind, and I can't see how they will ever be able to get there. Instead of having strong typed concise functions (number(), color(), etc.) everything now is supposed to be a generic map of string properties, attached to Component.args and the "type" information is a custom map assigned to Component.argTypes (similar to prop-types which are almost obsolete when using TypeScript).

If a SB dev reads this: Please, drop controls, and continue to support the knobs API.
