The whole point of a progressive tax system is to distribute wealth from the wealthy to the poor. A very small percentage of the population controls the vast majority of the wealth in this country. I'd argue that the wealthy (myself included) should be paying _more_ taxes.

With that said, in California, there's a lot of problems that can't be solved by simply throwing more money at it -- for instance, homelessness.

>it really did keep your laptop safe

In my experience MagSafe never did that, so it’s likely to be the same on the iPhone as on the Macbooks. Most times when I tripped over the cable, it pulled the cable in a straight line. Unfortunately I can lift my Macbook with the MagSafe cable by pulling in a straight line, so it never actually broke apart the way it was intended. Also unfortunately, it breaks apart very easily if you push up or down, which happens frequently when the laptop is sitting on my lap.

So it would unplug itself constantly in normal use, but still pull the Macbook off the table when I tripped on the cable. It’s still better than nothing, but in my experience MagSafe never worked the way it was advertised. Especially as the Macbooks got lighter.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing but reminds me once again of how little respect developers have for spending resources like GPUs and instruction cycles for "bling" essentially.

I am always saddened a bit (as you can probably tell) that my desktop machine is easily 1000x more capable in terms of compute and rendering than my desktop in 1995 and yet is no more responsive, no quicker, no less of a burden on the underlying machine.

Rent surveys are usually heavily biased towards large buildings. SF has a ton of new development in currently moribund neighborhoods, so I suspect some of the massive drop is due to that being oversampled (Mission Bay, for instance). In the more desirable neighborhoods with lots of rent controlled places the price drops likely aren't as steep. My friend is trying to rent a condo in a desirable location and most people looking at it are moving within San Francisco, trying to get into the more established neighborhoods at a better price.
Thanks in some part to Asterix comics portrayal of Caesar as a gambler, I always took this phrase to mean just that. There is a sense of irrevocable commitment that it implies, because once the dice have left the shooter's hand, no adjustment to bets are allowed. Your fate is sealed.

Only upon puzzling upon your comment did I realize that there was another way to creatively misconstrue those words in english, reading "die" as mould, and "cast" as to form on such a device. Therefore, "the die is cast" = "the mould has been poured". Once it hardens, again, your fate is sealed.
"Willfully misleads and deceives" is verbatim from the lawsuit. IANAL but that sounds like "deliberately lies" to me.

From the lawsuit: for years, Google has known that the user experience they designed misleads and deceives users. The evidence obtained from within Google—such as internal emails, presentations, and memos—is overwhelming in this regard

They knew that they were deceiving users, and liked it that way.

An example of of how Google uses this data: Google will track if you click an ad for Cheesecake Factory and later physically visit one. This allows them to charge higher rates for ads. This isn't a secret, they brag about that capability. It's why they use so many dark patterns to push users to enable location tracking.

Yes, of course!

If you make $200K, but spend $100K, then a 20% drop in expenses is $20K, and a 15% drop in salary is $30K. Overall you're out $10K even though the percentage drop in salary is lower.

It gets worse if you have a $300K salary.
My thought process is that I don't want to neccessarily learn all the tools but rather understand them so I'd know which one to pick and when. Right now everything seems redududant from my perspective. i.e. Why have time series database? you can save that in postgres, just have two columns time, data.???

Google disconnecting unprofitable users is not the issue. They of course have that right, as stipulated in the terms of service. The point of contention is whether it's fair to call abnormally high use "abuse" when the service is marketed as unlimited.

To me this whole thing is very simple:

If you have an office there, you should pay location-based rates at that office.

If you have remote employees, you should pay a standard remote rate, regardless of where someone is. Someone working remotely for a CA based company from NYT isn't adding more value than someone working remotely from Phoenix.
Developer jobs need strong English, not native English. And with remote work becoming more of a thing they'd need strong written English, which is an easier threshold for lots of foreigners to clear.

It was normally your email address, but you could put anything.

Typically the posting news server (i.e. your own news server) was responsible for validating that you used your real email address.

Originally there was no validation, but as spam rose validation became required.

News servers required you to login, originally they were open to anyone.

> Clearly companies are willing to pay $200k+ for top talent.

In a market where the market equilibrium for that top talent is $200K+. There is no inherent virtue in a '$200k+' number.

> "Cost of living" or however you want to break down that salary is irrelevant to what companies think employees are worth.

Exactly. Companies care about the cost of labor, not the cost living. And if you are in a different geography with a lower cost of living, it is believable that the cost of your labor is less. Why is it surprising then?

There’s a good chance that some of the production pipelines for parts began spooling up months ago. Producing that many phones is a huge undertaking with longer lead times than most people imagine, I imagine that they’d lose billions, and they’d risk releasing a “pandemic-friendly” phone once the pandemic is actually over.

> Using the word copy in conjunction with C-NOT is slightly misleading as the copies do not behave independently.

That's what the word "copy" means. If you flip a coin and copy that bit, you will observe that those copies do not behave independently either. If you want independent bits, flip two coins.

Similarly, "erasing" a (qu)bit technically consists of performing a exchange operation between it and a known-zero bit. In typical electronic computers, this would generally involve diffusion-like exchanges between the voltage level in a memory capacitor (such as a FET gate) and that on the GND rail, which has a much greater effective number of bits and therefore will stay mostly zero, but eventually requires a thermodynamic expenditure of known-valued bits (aka negentropy) from some external source to maintain its voltage level / bit zeroness. (This is rather simplified; there's lots of other sources of known-zero and known-one bits getting depleted and replenished, and the exact accounting depends on how you interpret various physical states information-theoretically.)
In the north central US, you have to stay indoors for a while because it's too cold. In the sunbelt, you have to stay indoors for a while because it's too hot. In CA, you have to stay indoors for a while because of the poor air quality.

Take your pic. CA folks seem to think the rest of the world is an inhospitable wasteland. Sure, CA is a bit more mild, but it's not perfect.
You can't serve something like that at a restaurant and make it in a plain way, because it's something that basically everyone can make at home for really cheap. People are looking for an interesting take on something like that in a restaurant, which isn't going to fit what you want.

That's a poor choice to judge a restaurant on. You need to base your judgement on things you can't or won't cook at home because it takes too much time, is too complicated, or uses ingredients that are difficult to get.
Using the NNTP protocol (which is very similar to SMTP) each message has two parts: Headers and content. Your client would usually only download message headers which contains information like author, date, title and message size.

Back when UUCP was still around there wasn't much binary data in groups. It took a while to develop algorithms to encode binary data (uuencode, base64), the protocol was text only.

> Now, the question is: what causes this discontinuity in the equations of motion? Why is interaction with a detector different than interaction with another particle?

> Many Worlds simply reframes this problem, but doesn't get rid of it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. It's like asking "why is there a difference between me jumping in a swimming pool and someone else jumping in it? I don't get wet when someone else is swimming." The difference is... one of you is in the pool. It's not going to spontaneously make the other person wet.

In MWI the difference is that if it interacts with a particle, you're not entangled, the particle is. If it interacts with a detector then you're entangled. So, there is no difference except for what gets entangled.

What that means is the wave function can only appear to collapse when you entangle. If some particle entangles, it will collapse for that particle and branch into a new world, but you're not in that world; for you it's still a waveform.

Edited for clarity.

I always assumed you didn't need to be very good at moderating to make a certain type of content meaningfully unwelcome. For example, you can't put pornography on Youtube, but it's still reasonably easy to find a video with nudity. It's easy to lose a lot of time trying to craft the perfect definition, but you can get 80% of the benefit with a rigid and conservative definition. So I don't think you need to remove content that "arguably" breaks a policy, you just content that "explicitly" breaks it. This hopefully causes folks to the extremes will take their content elsewhere (to a hopefully much smaller audience).

There's really 3 types of 5G: ultra-wideband, mid-band, and low-band. Ultra-wideband is the 5G you hear about most, with gigabit speeds but you have to be within direct line of sight to the cell site. There's also mid-band and low-band, which have similar ranges to LTE and can deliver a few hundred megabits instead of gigabits, and can handle problems like congestion better.
Presumably, in this theoretical, Apple would make some kind of HDMI plug-in dongle that acts as an AirPlay audio source.
generally speaking only usenet servers themselves grab everything at all times and store it, subject to an retention time (say 1 year, messages older than this are deleted) most clients just grab headers, and download messages on access.
I don't know - Microsoft is moving to essentially the Github model of letting people live where they want.

This is a fundamental shift and broadening and many people lived in the city for access to jobs that now they can live elsewhere for.
I worked at a uni that had usenet, soon after graduating. There were newsgroups about everything, personally most mornings at work I'd look at comp.lang.c and others it was a great resource for learning - it was one place and all the uni's in the world were connected to it. I learnt so much from it.

Messages were transferred overnight by copying the latest changes between each uni, you could post to the use group of choice using a usenet client. I was very excited to have access to it at the time, it was rare to have a connection outside of a uni.

There were source code feeds to where you could download the latest sources and try to compile them yourself, I remember fiddling with things like flex and bison.

It was full nerd - pretty well everyone was an academic, student or worked at a uni or research lab, you'd have contact in almost real time with anyone - this was a new thing.

You'd interface with it using a glass tty - I had a vt52 which connected to a Sun 3 box, which was our development computer. I remember getting a 300 baud modem and connecting to it at night from home with my PC, or maybe it was my amstrad still, PC's were very expensive still. It was a fun time.

Edit: just remembered we only had one dial in modem to the uni, and I'd use it to dial in from home, I remember we used to fight over access to it - eventually they got a second one because the sys admin was sick of not being able to get access to the network at night. They to were very expensive, I think they were 2400 or maybe even 4800 bps - a crazy speed then.
It takes like 0.1% of users to match the amount of data that the other 99.9% are using. I may be off on that number, but not by a lot.

The amount of data we are using may have changed since the 90's, but the data abuser formula will live until an asteroid hits and ends this in a sweet sweet fireball o' death oh please come soon.
The other ballot option in MA this year, Question 2, would enable ranked choice voting for state and federal elections. There was a bit of a thread about this the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24561551

What's weird is that before moving to MA I had never even heard of ballot options. As far as I can tell they just don't exist in PA, so social studies curricula just don't teach them. I'm increasingly a big fan; it seems like a valuable escape hatch for a democratic republic for the citizens to have the power to bypass the legislature if necessary.
Fairly impressive for my result, 20% (the highest) probability for what my type actually is.
The two key dimensions have a lot of evidence.

Introversion/Extraversion is well known and accepted as part of the Big5 and other more mainstream models (the MBTI definition is actually slightly more general, defining extraversion as a preference for external stimulation in general rather than specifically socialisation, but I think the evidence is still relevant).

The Judgement/Perception dichotomy (called Rational/Irrational by Jung) corresponds to System 1 and System 2 thinking in Dual-process theory for which there is a large body of evidence, including the work of Kahneman and Tversky which is well respected enough to have won a nobel prize (in economics). Interestingly from an HN perspective this also seems strongly analogous to CPU (serial) vs GPU (parallel) processing.

The Thinking vs Feeling and Sensing vs. Intuition distinctions have less evidence at this point.

Cables work harden and eventually fail. I've never had a cable last as long as a device, or even up to the next upgrade.

But if they took them out in the next iteration, I'd shrug, I have plenty at home.

This is Apple we're talking about. They'll sell you dongles all day, but include one? Not a chance. Apple said it's USB-C time at least four years ago, end of. I don't expect them to ever release a new product with a USB-A port on it.

That would be another accessory I don't need because I have plenty, and also, because I barely use them anymore.

IMO, there is a certain younger generation with an affinity for urban life. As they age, they will, to some degree, lose that affinity for urban life. I think there's a chance that cities will lose their appeal for a while.

Combine that with companies pushing more remote work, or setting up satellite offices, and you may see a slight decline in urban areas for a few years until it is in fashion again.
> one popular interpretation is that the particle exists in all states, i.e. in a pure description of reality. When any quantum system interacts with it, then it becomes entangled with the result of that measurement, branching it into a new universe (edit for clarification: a new world where it was as if it was never a wave, and it was always a particle).

The two-slit experiment contradicts this. You get different results depending on when you perform the observation(s).

So the new world is a world where the particle was originally a wave, and became a particle when it was observed. Not a world where the particle was always a particle.

That Yes ad raises more questions than it answers. What constitutes mechanical data? Does it include timestamps of when the engine was running and for how long? Is location data explicitly excluded? What about data that could be used to infer location, like vibration sensors picking up pothole impacts or gravel roads?

It seems simpler to just say: "This bill gives you, the owner of the vehicle, the right to give access to your car's data (that the automobile manufacturers are already collecting with little oversight into how it is used) to a third party mechanic of your choice for a limited time. It does not make this data available to literally anyone who wants it."

(The "for a limited time" concept does appear in the actual text of the bill in section 3 [1].)
