> If you turn off the news, the country is in general humming along just fine. Stock market is doing great. No new wars. Finally doing something to address major trade imbalances with China.

The country is doing 'just fine' if you are a person who has expendable income to invest and job security (and health insurance) because you have the ability to work remotely. The unemployment rate is very high, and most of those laid off are not knowledge workers - which is correlated with lower pay. Those who can least afford it are losing the most jobs. The wealth gap, already at an all time high, is undoubtedly going to increase significantly.

Obviously the country is not at the point of collapse, but do you not think the problems I just listed are cause for serious concern?
This is too broad a rejection. The prep companies don’t appear to have a huge measured impact, probably on the order of 30-90 points, but it is certainly the case that experience with the format and time pressure is going to help a student, with disproportionate impact on the kids who would otherwise score lower due to those factors.

Remember: this isn’t malicious or cheating. It’s just saying that you get better at things you practice and every kid in the country has an incentive to practice these tests.
I wonder when the country will realize that the rush hour traffic of the nation is a drag on the economy and should be addressed as serious as any emergency.

AWS wouldn't be my first choice to regulate, but at this point they can turn any competing business into a feature of AWS without breaking a sweat. I know for sure this stifles innovation because I've watched people abandon promising ideas because of that fact.
I'm wondering what the actual solutions are - we've got plenty of alternatives but we tend to not use them as its comfortable to use Google solutions.

Can someone answer my genuine question on this topic? At my high school in California I knew a trans girl (m to f used she/her) that was super chill and maybe a bit on the spectrum.

At the same time there were a couple dozen girls that called themselves trans and asked everyone to use they/them but acted and dressed all 100% within female stereotypes (not that trans is about stereotypes I’m just illustrating my point). I didn’t know any boys that did this.

Has the term trans grown beyond just (for lack of a better term) those with body dysmorphia? What is this second category of trans because I have yet to figure it out.
I've been flagging them too as scams and they generally get taken down within and hour or two.

While I agree that GCP's deprecation policy is painful, I don't think he's painting a compelling picture that the deprecation policy, specifically, is the reason GCP isn't ranked higher.

Taking two of the examples of "bad platform moves": Python 3 and Apple.

Where I work, we are simultaneously dealing with Python 3 and GCP deprecations[1], and it sucks. But Python is more popular than ever![2] Yes, some people (including us, at least for our website code) left Python, but lots and lots of people have moved to Python 3.

I've seen lots of people say "oh, the move from 2 to 3 wasn't that bad because of the tooling." That's probably true, and we probably wouldn't be moving to Go were it not for the fact that we had API changes _and_ Python's changes to deal with (and Go gives us other benefits).

And then there's Apple. Apple has a long history of maintaining compatibility for a time, and then getting rid of the bits that are holding them back. There are tradeoffs.

Maybe Android doesn't break things for developers, but Apple makes it so that iPhone users can keep updating their phones to the latest OS (and apps) for much longer than the typical Android phone. Because of deprecations and a general desire to make apps that fit the platform, developers of popular apps on iOS put the time into updating them, and these apps are really nice to use as a result.

I think fit and finish on non-first-party native Mac apps tends to be better than those on average on Windows, though that's just my opinion.

Carrying backwards compatibility comes with tradeoffs, and it's possible to be successful by making different tradeoffs than maximizing backward compatibility.

I’ve never heard this put so succinctly, or I can relate to it more now.

you can, but almost nobody will recommend to use it, neither will do with elasticsearch. In most cases it works, but it has priorized speed over resilience, so it's better to have a source from where you can rebuild the index.
A lot of talk in this article about Google capturing the whole web, all valid points, but I find the Facebook walled garden even more terrifying. I see people now, often in online school parent groups I'm a part of, etc. who cannot even use email anymore, who don't use web pages at all, they get all their information through Facebook groups and Facebook, and only talk through Facebook messenger or sometimes SMS. E-mail is seen as arcane and tricky, lots of these people do no searching, and rarely leave Facebook. If they can't find it through Facebook (or a Twitter feed sometimes) they act bewildered. This may sound like exaggeration, but there really are people like this. I think this is even more problematic.

If I remember correctly Windows Explorer still doesn't support long paths (paths with a total length over 255 characters). It only recently gained the ability to create files starting with a dot. It has no support whatsoever for alternate data streams, let alone more obscure NTFS features.

I wouldn't be surprised if it used the wrong API (in fact the lack of long path support is an example of using an outdated API). The only reason Windows Explorer appears reasonable is because people generally consider creating files you can't access with Windows Explorer a bug or misfeature.

How to solve hard (technical) problems
My main criticism is that these systems don't address the actual challenges that elections face, and the introduction of networked technology likely introduces a lot of poorly-understood risks.

I'm a poll worker and a security researcher. Doing the former has really given me perspective on the latter. While a lot of blockchain voting proponents come up with all sorts of schemes to solve ballot-stuffing attacks, the reality is that we really don't care about that on the ground; it's just not a problem we encounter. The real problems come from more mundane things like power outages, being physically locked out of the polling place, poll worker exhaustion, out-of-date records used to verify eligiblity, and voters taking a bathroom break and subsequently walking away with their ballots unaccounted for.

Technology really doesn't solve any of that. In fact, introducing networked computers into elections only makes it less scrutable to the public. In my precinct, the first voter to show up gets to verify that the ballot bin is empty and that the scanner reports all zeroes for the count. Then they witness us putting security seals on the equipment and reporting the serial numbers to the county. Anyone from the voting public can understand this and do their part to keep us honest. Computers make this sort of simple check inaccessible to most people.

Do you mean at the time end, or at the distance end?

These stars are orbiting black holes, so they aren't traveling linearly to the distance end of the universe.

As for the time end of the universe, nobody knows for sure how the universe will come to an end. But if these objects are very hot due to their speed, then perhaps they will live a bit longer than others, unless they explode before then :)
briefly, expecting a trans person to have dysmorphia is called "transmedicalism." it's highly controversial in the trans community because on the one side you have people who suffer from gender dysmorphia who don't always like the idea that other people are transitioning because of a preference; on the other side you have people advocate that gender identity is a personal choice and should not be subject to a particular diagnosis by a professional.
For comparison, US commute times are close to the shortest among developed countries. I don’t know much about school quality, but most towns and cities in the country allow people to easily get where they want to be.

A database is a central point of failure. Nothing stopping a sysadmin or a hacker able to get shell access from just deleting a bunch of votes, or taking the whole system offline. A blockchain system over a p2p network is way more fault tolerant and available than a database.

Also, in a blockchain system, any person can connect a node to the network and can see all of the votes that are occurring/have occurred, and can somewhat verify the results of the election.

There are studies that shows that all of those things have effects on the likelyhood of a person becoming autistic.

Autism is a complex mental thought pattern that I think is best described as having “erroneous“ metacoginitive models. That is people with autism has problems “comprehending” how the mind works on a intuitive level. Not “comprehending” the mind then leads to them having a hard time following other people’s thought trains. And various other problems.

Why people get in to that thought pattern differs between individuals. So “Ultimate” cause is not so easy.

It's going through Paypal. When the listing has Paypal, it allows to pay with a card without opening a paypal account.

It's been a thing for more than 10 years, it's very well integrated, it's not necessarily transparent that the payment goes through Paypal.

I think what you're doing is absolutely brilliant, despite the financial difficulties, which are not your fault, because you're a programmer -- not a businessman (don't feel bad, I'm sort of in the same boat, and many users/posters of HN are in that same boat too...)

Azure actually has significant market share.

Unfortunately, giving the homeless homes doesn't work. For the economically disadvantaged, of course providing free or low cost housing is helpful and welcome.

But for the majority, who have mental illness and/or substance abuse issues, a shelter or home often makes little difference.

Witness for example the experiment in Manhattan to provide some homeless men with hotel rooms. They literally go downstairs to poop in the street, harass or attack passersby, and trash the hotel. There's not a one-size-fits-all solution to homelessness.

What we really need is restoration of residential mental care facilities that were largely torn down in the 1970s in favor of mainstreaming the mentally ill.

We also need some kind of analog to the old rooming house districts where men down on their luck could get a bed and a hot meal for a dollar or so.

What we don't need is the status quo which is ripping apart the social fabric of our society.

Wouldn't a blockchain voting system help here, if everyone can examine the time, place, and votes in the history, and see that all the block hashes match what's expected?

That gives much stronger guarantees than paper, and while the average Joe can't verify it himself, there would be three million programmers in the US alone who easily could.

Whereas with paper I can't count the votes myself, I have to trust the authorities who did that.

San Fransisco has one of the highest, and in some cases - highest - housing and rental prices in the US.

If taxes are as high as you claim, it would be more rational to argue that the high prices are indirectly caused by that tax, rather than prices being held down by taxes.

Several causes seems more likely for a change in inventory, or pricing.

An extremely high cost of housing and the consequently smaller than average living spaces, which people are spending more time in due to covid has probably led some people to re-evaluate their priorities. It has in less heated markets.

Increased possibilities of remote work even in tech companies traditionally against it, and as tech drives SF, this is going to affect a majority of people living there.

Expectations of recession due to one of 1) covid 2) some of the giants getting pushback from an administration that is fickle at best 3) new competition from non US companies in driving markets, eg TikTok 4) ... and more.

There are plenty of somewhat plausible reasons to get out of the highest priced housing market in the US, especially if you can't handle a significant downturn in prices.

You could argue taxes too, if the market prices were average, or below average, but in the current situation any economic sensitivity is caused by an overheated housing market, nothing else can even touch the force of a market as hot as the SF one.

However, if a market with 1/4 the inventory of NY increase its inventory, even when it's with about 100%, one really can't tell anything. It's the hottest of the hot markets that's cooled down a little, and it doesn't really tell anything yet, except that the market has changed somehow.
Right. And you think people in the Chinese government set out to put a million Uyghurs in work camps while being criticized by the world?

> Has the term trans grown beyond just (for lack of a better term) those with body dysmorphia?

As far as I am aware, no. But bear in mind that there’s not always an abrupt transition between gender-associated behavior, due to social circumstances beyond personal preference. High School, a setting which implies an age where parental figures retain overwhelming leverage over minors’ lives, is a fairly good example. E.g. clothing choices at home are open to parental scrutiny, whereas pronoun use at school is not.

Beyond that, though, like any term that is applied at one’s own volition and in response to subjective internal cues, there is going to be some variation in the folks identifying that way. Not in a “liar” sort of way, just in a “there’s no precise cut-off on what behaviors or feelings constitute trans” kind of way.

Especially as social stigma decreases or, depending on one’s precise social micro-environment, possibly even turns into a form of social prestige. Again, without any deceit intended, you can imagine that someone that feels they fall in a gray area and needs to explore their identity may verbalize (or even conceptualize) that feeling differently based on the quality and magnitude of social connotation.
Working remotely where practical seems like one fix.

1. While i can understand why certain levels of transit services required a certain baseline of usage I really don't think the scale of the exodus is sufficient to warrant mass disruption of existing transit lines (maybe disrupt the development of new ones is more likely?)

2. I always prefered large cities but I wouldn't say it was mostly due to restaurants, bars and cafes. These I can find anywhere and are cheap to setup. Large city facilities and institutions like museums, theatres, government offices, sports venues, these are just some of the impossible to replace and important things that large cities still and will always have.
Honestly not sure.

Walmart is still 2x the size of Amazon in terms of revenue, and like Bezos said in his congressional briefing, it's easier and cheaper to build and online platform than it is to build out Walmart's existing physical retail presence.
