Offering you a platform is not the same thing as ensuring that it's even physically possible. The argument wasn't about the government hosting copyrightable content for you or delivering it to you; it was about ensuring it is even possible for you to copy content.
Item #0 from TFA is "that there is no point in pretending you have not made a mistake." Both the GP comment and myself are disputing this fact. I think it's odious to do so, but there absolutely is a point in doing so.

As far as Kavanaugh, obviously none of this applies if he is not-guilty, because few advocate apologizing for things you didn't do. However:

There are a lot of middle-aged adults who did terrible things when they were teenagers. Among those, the ones who own up and apologized are excluded from many positions of power, while those that deny it are included.

So for this particular subset of the population, we punish the best, reward the worst, and incentivize any fence-sitters to lie. Perhaps it's a bit OT, but something is clearly broken here.
Brain DNA Refolds Itself to Aid Memory Recall
As a Canadian, I was quick to realize that the mere word "sorry" has a different meaning to some people down south. In Canada I'll just say it casually to mean a polite "hope I'm not troubling you" or "sorry that happened to you", and never thought of it as immediately declaring responsibility let alone fragility. But in the US, I've been pounced on for a casual use of that word, as if I'd announced failure and that I owed something to the other party.

So I much appreciate what you're saying here.
Maybe that capitalist hellscape will add solar freakin' roadways while they're at it.
I know there are a lot of Musk fans on this site, so can someone explain to me the benefits of this style of hyperloop over a train?
I still think that Elon's dream goal is to put a boring machine into a rocket and build subsurface habitations connected by hyperloops on mars.
My experience with Haskell is less “strict guarantees with proofs” and more “changes to state are exposed in the type system.” I also think that Haskell has a much larger ecosystem than Agda or Idris, so if you need libraries you can find them.
Absolutely on point. One thing I find particularly interesting about technologies of this kind is that they're often sold as 'the future of X', in this case transport. Just like Zoom is the 'future of doing conferences and work'.

Has anyone noticed in recent times that this is almost always the American future, rather than everyone else's future, in response to essentially rot of public infrastructure and state capacity?

Go to China, or Singapore, Or Taiwan or South Korea and ask them if their future is work from home because of Covid, or hyperloops because apparently nobody in the US can built a train any more. You'll be surprised.
This is named after the three-headed dragon from the Godzilla cinematic universe, right?
Hey, take a breather if it helps. No one here is responsible for convincing you of anything. But you sound a little upset.

If it helps, take into consideration performance:power ratios. None of your scenarios are fair otherwise, and I personally haven't seen anyone here claim the M1 will outperform everything. Hence, "in its class."

Maybe you saw some errant comments on PCMag.com claiming the M1 was the be all end all of computing?

Good luck.

This is how downvoting ruin any nuanced discussion on China.

China is very complex. By sheer number it should be 4X more complex than US. Not mentioning many other internal issues.

For example, Chinese people are very diverse in their understanding of the world. And intellectual level in China is very low compared to modernized countries. That makes the management and ruling a lot trickier than US. One often cannot argue reasonably with some random peasant if he/she happen to not educated. My father used to fight with me, when I told him that his was investing in some ponzi scheme. And he ended up losing ~40% of his lifetime saving. He just cannot believe in such thing as blatantly bad, as he has some faith in the society in a way that is rooted in 50-60s idealized period when he was growing up.

People here often do not allow nuanced discussions. Any comparison in favor of China to US or other western nations is implicitly labeled "whataboutism".

The sad thing is that, HN is already the best I could find...
But lots of things do use more than 4 cores, with games especially growing in core use over time. Even more so if you want to stream to your friends or have browsers and such open in the background. To suddenly set that to almost zero weight, when it was already a pretty low fraction, right when zen 2 came out, is clear bias.

> In fact, the 18 core behemoth might actually feel slower for regular desktop usage since it’s clocked lower.

It has a similar turbo, it won't.

I think that's correct. However, the concept of banking the plane to turn was their idea and is still used. Before that, everyone thought you'd turn a plane like you turn a car. It was their bicycle experience that led them in the right direction.
In my opinion, a little redundancy is good to avoid rockets falling out of the sky, so I vote for a layout rule plus redundant semicolons. The semicolon is hardwired in many programmers hands anyway. I don't think it should be a design goal to get rid of it. Instead, the compiler's/interpreter's job is to help the programmer to avoid bugs, and with a little syntactic redundancy, the parser can already help out with a few syntax errors. I love gcc's -Werror=misleading-indentation.
What do you do with the extra food?

Isn't the point of takeaway that you get hot fresh food without having to prep it? 'Stocking up' on takeaway seems counterproductive.
FWIW, Joplin allows you to have a single panel "raw markdown" view, and you can just assume it'll all render the way you want, and maybe double check at the end. I find that works well for me. As you say, previewing what bold looks like offers minimal value. :)

Joplin also has a beta single pane WYSIWG view which is like, I believe, Typora or Bear (markdown in the backend, but you type in what is effectively the preview window). I haven't really tried it out yet though. If it works well though, it might solve your concern though.
If the answer is ‘don’t adopt Cairo for new projects’ there is a problem, since Skia has poor documentation and a not stable api.

And so if the answer is always ‘it depends’, you are making my point for me.
BASIC had the 'End' keyword instead of a delimiter.
That line of thought existed for a long time. It's the same line of thought that says that gentrification is a bad result - rich people concentrating in one suburb and never having to look 2 blocks away where people are forced to sleep on the street makes them not think about people sleeping on the street. That then influences public spending where the same rich people have stronger voices about what problems to solve.

See comments from British MP recently that people who can't afford food should sell their assets like pearls. That's a complete disconnect with normal people's lives.

I'm not sure how popular/acceptable those views are, but I'm all for some form of "if you have power over X you should experience the lowest class of X". For example elected officials should not be allowed security fast track at the airports.
GPUs are going above DMA, DMA still needs memcopy and or address space translations which adds latency slows things down, with unified memory in theory you have a single address space and cache coherency across everything which means you can operate at the maximum bandwidth of all interfaces without wasting any cycles.
1. I do NOT want to get sick and wonder if I have COVID-19.

2. The medical establishment does NOT want a bunch of flu cases flooding into already-overwhelmed hospitals.

3. Is there a possibility of interaction between COVID-19 and the flu? I have no idea, I just made this up.

so yeah, I think the risk of the flu is a lot lower, and the vaccine might be less effective, and there are risks to getting vaccinated, but presumably the various risks of the flu during a pandemic are worse than the risks of the flu during normal times.

Exactly. It's a meaningless number.

They also conspicuously avoid posting any GHz information of any kind. My assumption is that it's a fine laptop, but a bullshit performance claim.
The fact that one high-caliber bullet can shut down a multi-billion dollar transport system is all that needs to be said.

It's interesting you say this because it was always recommended in ancient China to minimize the involvement of the official court in merchant business as long as they pay some sort of tax to keep up the income (such as salt). It is well known that if the there is too much government involvement in decisions, corruption overcomes growth which lead to a lot dynasties eventually failing (a good example is the Qing dynasty/last dynasty of China).

As a Canadian, you're missing out on the other critical half of the 'sorry'.

You step on my foot. I look at you, and say "sorry", and pull my foot away. You abashedly also "sorry" and we move on.

Am I apologizing? Hardly! The full sentence is, "Sorry, did you just actually step on my foot, what the hell?" and your reply is "Sorry, yes, I did do that, didn't mean to, apologies". Then the problem is solved and we move on.

Yeah, more tooling is required. We use Schema Registry for our Kafka consumers and producers and it's quite handy, we tend to use it in FORWARD compatibility mode. We've also in the past used build time compatibility checks for the same purpose.

Earlier in the year I decided I was going to get a flu shot this year, for the first time ever. I was in the hospital for a non-Covid-related thing, and a nurse convinced me to do it for everyone else. Okay, sold.

And then around April it became evident to me that maybe it is fine to wait until next year.

Even though this is a hoax I would not have been surprised at all if there was an active shooter in the Ubisoft offices, what with all the people they fire, the crunch, the sexual assault allegations. Really happy that it was just a hoax though!
Good idea.

I "woke up" after 10 years of streaming servies and realized that all my favorite artists are out of print and I've just payed X amount of monies during the last 10 years to own absolutely nothing.

2020 has been my year of buying up music I grew up with. So far this year alone I have a whole shelf of CDs that I OWN and I've only payed about half of what I did to stream music I don't own for 10 years.

Unfortunatley some albums cost 140 dollars and up to 300 dollars for me to import, because they're so hard to find.

In some cases it's actually easier to find the vinyl print than the CD, in good condition or new. Makes me wanna get a record player.
maybe baseless allegations of fraud exceeds the domain of "So you've made a mistake"
Even when we learn from a mistake it may still happen in the future. Hopefully we have reduced its frequency but it can still happen.

For example, I sometimes write "too be honest…". I've known it is wrong for decades, but occasionally am still not able to see it. Still happens about one out of every fifth time.
You’re so right. I’m on mobile. Terrible UX.
I don't really have a direct analogy (possibly due to a lack of 'vision'); I just think that changing technology can create 'paradigm shifts' in access and capabilities.
If you switch the OS to Windows DirectX:

OnScreen Aztec High Tier gives you 54fps on the M1, vs 106fps on the 1050Ti. Normal tier is capped at 60fps for OSX while Windows goes up to 156fps.

That's a better comparison since it represents the best optimised platforms for this hardware. Comparing with NVidia on OSX isn't very meaningful.

My argument here:

1) Reflect that "commonly done" != "unproblematic".

2) Think for yourself: reflect on whether causing pain to sentient creatures is something you want to be doing in your life.

I am not recommending people reject the "rights" framework of morality; I am asking them to pause and consider something that virtually everyone agrees with: "hurting sentient creatures is morally problematic". If after reflection you do not share this sentiment, there isn't much I can do (at least with a short comment).

Re: religion - it's much easier to dismiss a religious appeal if you do not share the religion. It's harder in my example, as the appeal is to a (what I claim) is a sentiment that the reader already has.

Moral uncertainty is an interesting argument too. If theory A claims act X is unproblematic, but theory B claims act X is very problematic, even if you only believe in A, you should be cautious that you may be wrong and theory B is correct. If act X is of no great importance to you, it is a prudent decision to avoid doing X.

I do recommend everyone read Animal Liberation (1975) by Peter Singer - it's the classic text on animal welfare.
I ran cornish cross meat birds twice, 20 birds each time, and by butchering at ~8 weeks the roos didn't get around real well anymore, given the weight to leg ratio.

Those were pasture raised, with restricted supplemental feed, and just the ordinary breeds you can get at Tractor Supply. I wouldn't be shocked if you let a "real" production hybrid go past butchering age and feed them grains the whole time, you'd probably get some birds unable to move under their own weight.

After two rounds, I gave up on them and now run less aggressive weight gainers that forage better, like freedom rangers.

Obviously just anecdotal, but don't dismiss it outright.
I don’t think it is.

You're making completely the wrong comparison. On the left you have Geekbench 5 scores for the A12Z in the Apple DTK, and on the right you have Geekbench 4 scores for the Ryzen.

Thats what a company does in a market. The problem with asking the government to do the same thing is that they need to stop coercing people to comply with threats of violence. If they don't do that, then they are merely another corporation. We don't see this as a problem but getting the people with guns to stop using them to extort behavior they want is a devilishly hard problem.
Electric buses are mainstream in America, they drive past my home a dozen times a day. Of course they pull their power from overhead powerlines, but I'd guess that makes them better at handling hills and has less downtime.
There is definitely need for better tools and discoverability for server-clent APIs. Protobufs seems like an odd take but I'm looking forward to their subsequent articles

The best in class right now is Open API 3, which offers a way to describe endpoints, verbs and expected responses with a JSON schema. And even so, working with it feels primitive compared to, for instance, front end focused tools with bundling, type checking, package management and so forth.

With Open API 3 / Swagger, you hand write a YAML or JSON file or fill out a form and have it done for you, but there is no code completion nevermind AST analysis. And now you have a schema, but there is no automatic link between that schema and the backend code, nor error typing, nor validation. The code generation options that are available are clunky and not customizable. If you change the code, you just have to go over the schema by hand again and make adjustments. Unit tests help of course, but you build it yourself

As for server responses, there aren't really coalescing best practices. There are many possibilities for incoming and outgoing headers, but no language or library to ensure getting them right, the way that TypeScript works for instance

> To call these people selfish is way off the mark

How so?

self·ish
adjective (of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.

> who want to visit their relatives for the holidays.

Thus, being selfish as they got no regards on the impact of others. In Quebec we got some private care home where 80% died of Covid. It only takes one to bring it.

> Perhaps it’s the politicians and others who are being selfish by imposing their will and desires.

Their will and desires of what? Of saving lifes? Sure caring about someone's else life is purely selfish, much more than wanting to spend time with others.

> it’s time we do a cost/benefit analysis that considers all costs and complications beyond covid.

The US is the one that killed the most to avoid theses "costs and complications". Was it worth it? Go see anyone that lost their grand parents because of this, many of them could have spend time with them today if it wasn't because someone else was selfish.

If you got high risk relative that you want to see, buy them a webcam or keep them permanently in your home please. Keep the risk to yourself. If you care about them, please reduce your risk too, they deserve that "cost and complication".
The 9th Circuit in Lenz v. Universal disagrees.
In Cairo specific case it is 'don't adopt Cairo for new projects'.

To quote subsbuzero:

My 10 megatrends:

1. Energy is effectively free. Solar PV is already USD 13 per MW-h (Oil equivalent USD 22.1) and falling

2. China will fail. During 1919-1948 China was ruled be regional strongmen (aka Warlordism). The CCP will fail and return to Warlordism.

3. All the connected 'smart' devices will fail due to either a deliberate or accidental failure of the Internet. Many will never be reboot.

4. People get old. Most countries are ageing including China, Japan and most western countries.

5. Climate Change will cause water and food shortages.

6. Most countries taxes bases will be destroyed. Due to 'tax planning' by the rich and the inability of Governments to replace outdated taxes with modern ones. eg petrol tax on ICE cars with EVs

7. Politics will become even less relevant. Politics will continue to shrink with large donors the only voices heard.

8. Healthcare will become less equal, along with everything else.

9. Many nation states will fail including the America.

10. There will be a rise in extremism as displaced people fight for reduced resources.
>Most of what they do isn't under the name Cargill. They actually resemble an old conglomerate

Cargill actually owns most of the players on the other markets.

Just recently, the Amazon fires benefited a Cargill branch so much, some think it was all a ploy to plant more soy. Even Nestle (another borderline unethical company, e.g. water rights) announced they will stop buying from Cargill Brazil because of that one. Yet, nobody in south America knows the name Cargill.
I'm not quite sure it's possible for a vacuum tube to cost less than some steel for a train track.

I guess it could be cheaper to build it under a city (tunnel needs to be smaller), but anywhere else... highly doubt it.

Plus, you know, trains are faster, more comfortable, have sleeper cabins, quieter, easier to stop in an emergency, and even have windows!
