I experienced the same.
I think we should setup the conditions for miracles so they are more likely to occur.

Just like the Battersea power station was once the beating heart of London - delivering energy to industry and the people the UK government should build a giant datacenter and push out cheap (or free) vms to anyone who wants them. Push out computational ability to everyone.

Same with Raspberry Pis - send one to every student in the country, the economic benefit from the 8-10 genius level kids getting that R-Pi and being inspired into programming will pay for the few million other devices.

I also really like the arm of the German government that port-scans companies and contacts them if they have vulnerable services running, it is the duty of the government to protect its industry and citizens and this kind of preemptive public good is innovative and shows long term thinking without a desire for immediate, transactional payoffs.

These things raise the bar and make miracles more likely to occur by “gardening” them into existence
This was such an insightful comment (and based on such specialised knowledge) that my first feeling was one of sadness that it'll get buried in the sands of HN. It would be cool if we could tag comments such as this one for intuitive retrieval later down the line. Thanks for sharing your experience, and point taken regarding porting a kernel and C compiler simultaneously ^_^
How do you supposed this is to happen? Some just call it a cost function.
I had a colonoscopy almost two weeks ago (a 3-year follow-up on having a large not-quite-cancerous-yet polyp removed), and got in a lot of Factorio the night before.

So in a sense it wasn't that different than a regular night of staying up till four in the morning playing Factorio, except that I had to drink a gallon of stuff that tastes like diluted seawater. I had forgotten how gross that stuff is, but in the end that was the worst part.
Allow me to counterpoint. Every creative engineering profession needs interacting (not just 'talking and listening', but also observing and even acting into the user domain to understand and feel the needs and opportunities). Every solution design needs modeling and thinking and sometimes things benefit from being written down in other forms than code (even though code that is written to be understood can be infinitely better than hacks with comments and elegant interaction design hopefully obsoleted the need for a 'readme'). However, I've seen many doing those things; talking, listening, thinking, modeling and writing, day in and day out, without ever getting beyond a stack of paper.

Producing the system, the working code, is not something you do at the end. It is an integral part of the process. It is the place that forces you to not gloss over gaping holes or contradictions in your modeling. It forces you to be clear and complete about your supposed understanding. It forces the trade-offs rather than the sunny day 'we can have both' situations.

And yes, I also do very productive thinking in the shower and sauna, but at the end of the day, no matter the fantasies, the desk is our habitat.
That sounds a lot like cogeneration. I remember 25 years ago there was a plant near LA that produced steam to process oranges while also generating power.

I think you're right though, there is a lot of untapped waste heat out there.

> who are promoting [...] as a core value

> because it gives them an edge up on competition

That's... literally the opposite of holding a principle. They're doing a thing that they don't otherwise care about because it results in an advantage today. What happens when the money runs out? When the fad shifts? When someone offers them more money to do something that conflicts with this principle?

You hold a principle because you believe (logically, axiomatically, morally, etc.) that it is correct, regardless of all other incentives that might pull you towards or away from it.

If the only reason that someone claims to hold a principle is because you're paying them, they're not actually holding that principle.
To paraphrase Monty Python:

Look, other than building Amazon, Netflix, Google, Facebook, the Iphone, Tesla, SpaceX, Uber, Lyft, Stripe, AirBnB, Epic Games, Steam, Instacart and others what have Americans built lately?
I can't imagine Katzenberg doing this (I don't think his interests are actually animation or anything "traditional"), but hand drawn animation is just "out of fashion" and the business people don't think the ROI is enough. Look at the budget for Princess and the Frog or other hand drawn projects around that time compared to CG films. Hand drawn cost around $80-100 million while CG is closer to $150 million (a large chunk for both is usually voice talent). Disney had tossed their old animation system CAPS (and I'm pretty sure all their old desks) and they built a brand new pipeline around off the shelf software for the production--subsequent productions would have been cheaper.
Respectfully, have you seen the anti-Japan propaganda posters? They were extraordinarily dehumanizing, generally in ways completely unrelated to the Japanese Empire's heinous actions.
I'll clarify what I meant:

1. if submitters squash their commits into one by default, it's hard to split, if the maintainer wants;

2. if they send separate commits by default, it takes only one extra click to the maintainer to squash them, if they want.

So, the second case is more flexible.
Those facts don't change how cartoonish the propaganda was against the Japanese at the time.

One fact does not cancel out the other.
Yep. The US may have been no saint, but the Japanese Empire was every bit as much of a "cartoon villain" as Nazi Germany.
The user does have the freedom in forking the project and hosting it elsewhere. AGPL is actually about enforcing that the user has that option.
The US brought unbelievable horror to Japanese civilians, see the firebombing of cities and of course the only use of atomic weapons in warfare.

Well said. I recently got into a "the Expanse is not hard sci-fi" discussion, and the politics of space (between distant planets) was an interesting angle we hadn't considered.
No, I don't accept IMF's re-definition of subsidy, nor yours. Subsidies are not negative externalities. We can talk about a carbon tax to address externalities. I agree there should be one. We can talk about eliminating energy subsidies. I agree there should be none (in the US renewables get more subsidies per kWh). But asking me to pay for your luxury train rides is not OK.

It would be very rude to say something like that to your friend. He effectively called a whole race ugly in his eyes. We don’t know the race mentioned but I think you can imagine a context where that would be considered more offensive and sensitive than red hair.
Special.

I mean the whole way looking at it seems wrong to me. There is no "rest of the world" in relativity. Assigning some objective vector to everybody doesn't work. These only make sense from some specific point of view.

By the question you asked now I'm assuming, you meant "but hey, without GR..", but even without GR, ignoring that the universe is expanding, assuming flat space time etc. If the universe consisted just of 3 bodies, 1 being you and 2 being rest of the world, then the way of thinking you described still doesn't make sense in context of relativity and may lead to some confusion (apart from it being, to me, incoherent in context of special relativity).

But maybe I'm missing something from your picture, I'm happy to read and learn.
Don't wait until next summer. There's no guarantee that covid numbers will be under better control. Giving a potential cancer/tumor a whole year to grow and spread is IMO a bigger risk than covid.

It’s a satisfying rationale, but it doesn’t take into account a range of unknown factors. What about different strains and variability in how deadly they are? What about the difference that the size of the initial dose of the virus makes to the end outcome? What about the effect of chance in how quickly and effectively a person’s immune system deals with it?

The rationale relies on a set of constants which are... probably not constant.
Perhaps, for an established company with a stable business and income going on, the CEO can afford being somewhat ignorant of the field they work for.

Maybe? I think they're recommended for everyone at 50 years, but for anyone else I don't think they would normally recommend getting one unless you have some symptom or family history of cancer.

Getting a genetic test might be another option if cancer is what you're worried about. Not as accurate as a colonoscopy, though.
I think it's fair due to the generosity of knowledge he provides to the entire tech community. His quality teachings has given him a lot of goodwill for a lot of people. I won't complain.
I agree but with one nitpick: you don’t get “professional quality defence” with conscription, especially if people are not called in for refreshers every few months.

What you get, though, is effectively a sleeping guerrilla organization that can be mobilised to resist occupation. Very basic military skills can be very effective in such a scenario, which is the most likely one for countries bordering states with overwhelmingly larger arsenals.
"Auto-update option for major releases"

This is the big feature with this release and I suspect it's just a matter of time before auto updates for releases is enabled by default. It will certainly break sites, especially legacy ones, which is why it needs to be optional right now until we figure out how to better run legacy WP sites that don't break due to incompatible versions of WP, themes and plugins.
Seconded, sounds interesting. I don't accept the either-or statement at the end, but I would love to learn more about Britain's history of funding infrastructure.

> Did you ever roll through a stop sign without a complete stop or make a quick highway lane change without signaling? Reckless driving, up to officer discretion. Drove over the speed limit?

No, no and no. All of those are serious misconducts that are rightfully punished. Stop signs exist for a reason. Signalling on a highway is very necessary to inform other drivers where you are intending to steer your heavy machine thats hurling down the street at speeds evolution didn't prepare us for. Every driver caught speeding who is punished for it is a win for society in my book.

> Ever forget your wallet and drive without your license? Drive with slightly over a legal limit of alcohol (hard to judge correctly)? Cross over a signed private property you don't have permission to access?

I don't know where you live, but driving without license results in either a verbal warning by the police or a ten buck fine if you're very unlucky. Anyways, I've never heard of anyone who ever got controlled for his drivers license so far. If you steer your car while drunk, you deserve to be punished. I don't care that you're in danger of an embarassing death by tree, but you're also endangering everyone around you. What do you expect from the police? To let that go unpunished?

Also why wouldn't you be punished for crossing private property without permission? If you had a lawn and some guys would come and walk across it every two hours, wouldn't you be pissed and expect some kind of retaliation for that?

> Maybe you smoke and you are too close to a federal or state building access. Maybe your uncle gave you some hooch he made. Maybe you went to an unofficial nude beach.

Smoking is known to cause cancer and is very unpleasant in general, even if it wouldn't. You may stick to your designated drug consumption spots for that matter, but if you decide its okay to annoy and poison the general public around you it's perfectly reasonable to punish you.

You don't go to an "unofficial" nude beach without knowing it's unofficial. You don't undress yourself in public. Therefore, you know you commited a crime because most others really don't want to see you naked.

> Been "drunk/disorderly in public" ? Again officer discretion but could easily be applied to majority of people leaving a club most Friday nights.

Good. I hate drunk mobs hanging around, yelling and being generally unpleasant for all others around them.

All cases you listed deserve punishment, especially the car related ones. Cars are no joke and should be treated with care and respect, not as reclessly as you seem to prefer it.
This sentiment coincides with the problem of measuring "the economy".

The major notions we have inherited of economy derive from the rentier merchants of early modernity. They took to the idea of seeing a nation as a balance sheet, a tabulation of assets: men, ships, iron. From this idea we get the idea of putting more assets on the balance sheet through trade and colonization, rather than tribute. This lasted a few centuries, but by the point of transition to an industrial economy it had already become clear in the writings of Enlightenment philosphers that it was not quite as simple as possession and accounting of the raw assets, but their organization too. The gross product and employment figures we started using to measure organization generalized things, but also suffer from limited scope - if it's not a money transaction, if the work is unpaid, it's outside "the economy".

In the long 19th century it was very straightforward to devise ways to purpose inventions towards economic benefit: take an existing trade, buy up more raw materials through the canals and rails, run it through the factory, sell more product. With the second industrial revolution, another "wave" of products appeared that substituted common uses of labor: canned food instead of fresh, telecommunication instead of express mail, and an increasing number of mechanized devices.

It got much harder in the 20th century as more of the inventions relied on developing consumer habits and did not reflect a traditional trade. The dilemma was averted through marketing techniques: Everyone uses toothpaste and shampoo, watches the new television show, and desires a new car, a bigger house and a higher-paying job. Creative financing ideas took up the rest of the slack, allowing consumers to get their hands on the stuff and set lifestyle expectations that are higher than reasonable.

So, by the early 21st century everyone simultaneously has too much "stuff", is unhappy because of the marketing, and is in debt because of the financing. But GDP is higher, so the system persists, up until now.

That trend makes me think that "building" is at an end, and something more like the German system has to take hold. America's consumer economy is now developing a multitude of niches, marketed through various online storefronts, Kickstarters and viral video. Appreciation of the best stuff of past years has risen as more of that material surfaces online and rubs shoulders with "new" stuff. Where this emerging system struggles the most, it can usually be traced back to the old power structures and their large footprint on the economy. And to a great degree the measure of the economy is tied to those structures: growth and employment figures feed into the taxation and spending model. Change the measure and you have to realign what it means to tax or to spend, who is in debt to whom. It's not done so easily.
Has Change.org actually ever changed anything? Legitimately curious.
Right. Your's a textbook answer to the textbook question. What are the causes of bank panics? Who are the winners and losers of this inflationary intervention/"reduction" of recessions? If the winners of these policies continue to keep winning, is this good for society at large? You don't seem to see the big picture. Product of one-step thinking. But my contributions to this thread ends here.
> In fact, I remember I was making HILARIOUS jokes the entire time.

Jimi Hendrix remembered he was playing MUCH BETTER guitar when he was on acid.

Until he heard the recordings....
Higher taxes won’t get stable and fast internet (or anything else being efficient) - neighboring Germany has high taxes, expensive services and very slow internet even within cities. Also the trains are notoriously unpunctual, and expensive compared to other EU countries. The cause of the internet seems to be a mix of the mobile frequency auctions that didn’t leave any money for a good network combined with low competition. The trains also have pretty bad incentives for infrastructure, eg they can have the state pay for rebuilding a line and not for maintaining it, so they wait till it breaks.

The Swiss model seems to be to think of the consequences of policies before putting them in place, the lower taxes seem to be more of a result of that.

(I’ve lived in all three countries, this is my impression)

We need to inform the PM and people of NZ who, for the last few weeks, have been bombarding the news cycle of their "success in beating" Covid (for a second time).

Anyone who mentioned that there would be a 3rd and a 4th time were derided.

I agree. The people of NZ need to realize that non-zero cases is normal and that there's no "beating" Covid no matter how much the PM and the news cycle proclaim it.

Preach.
> They are easy and painless.

They usually are, for most people. But for me the first time I did it was the most painful experience ever. So painful in fact that they had to abort it and book me for another time and that time I went under.

That was before my surgery and when my intestines were all over the place. That being said, after my surgery in which they corrected the placement of my intestines, it was painless. That time, the last time I did it, I chit chatted with the doctor and nurse and it was funnily a pretty relaxing experience since I'd gotten some mild drugs before because I was nervous it would hurt as it did the fist time.

I have done a colonoscopy 3 times.
God damn it! I get upset when reading this article! The doctor mentioned at the beginning of the article is obviously not doing his job! "Don't worry about it?!" "you don't need another physical exam!?"

Making assumptions without examination is incredibly unprofessional and carries with it potential critical consequences.

If you have an issue and bring it to your doctor and your doctor fails to follow up with an examination and makes assumptions, it is time to find another doctor.
Your comment is silly, since Japan started the undeclared military war against the US with Pearl Harbor, after being sanctioned by the League of Nations.

The Japanese military refused to surrender, and were willing to sacrifice their entire population. Civilians in cities across Japan were making weapons, whether in factories or in their houses.

The US had no desire to bomb cities or use nuclear weapons, and in fact the latter were carefully debated before use.

And don't X - Y me. This is not a math problem, pedant.
