I think a major point missing in amongst the discussion so far, and one that's causing a lot of crosstalk is whether you should even be apologising at all.

For example.

Progressives are widely known for their enthusiastic use of forcing people into public apologies for perceived crimes against the faith or for not acquiescing to unreasonable demands which can then be framed as a perceived wrong. I think a lot of the kickback against apologising that we're seeing is coming from the numerous public examples of this tactic and the follow-up where any good-faith apology will be used to make a further example of the heretic.

If you are dealing with this kind of thing then the tactic of take-cover and let the storm pass seems sane (pearls before swine etc). But if you're actually dealing with a genuine person or group who you've genuinely wronged then a real apology is warranted.

One other thing I'd add; if you have wronged someone and you've apologised and made genuine efforts to make amends. While it is on the other person to decide whether or not they will accept/forgive, it is not a requirement to indefinitely debase/lower yourself in the pursuit of obtaining their forgiveness. You can make efforts up to a point but you are not required to destroy yourself until they grant it. If the situation is unsalvageable then that's what it is.

For studys sake on how this can get out of control, there are numerous examples of shitty parents holding a past wrong over a childs head indefinitely in the raised-by-narcissists subreddit which illustrate the tactic in use by malicious types there.
For anyone interested in this thread - "The Upward Spiral" is a related book worth reading, that dives into both the neuroscience of depression and practical steps to work one's way out of it. https://www.amazon.com/Upward-Spiral-Neuroscience-Reverse-De...
> This lawsuit is like saying that Google should be forced to allow for other browser than Chrome to be used on Chromebook devices.

Well, yes - obviously, no? If a tech company wants to build a completely closed ecosystem they can fuck off - that includes Epic games. Epic is doing this for their pockets, but the freedom of the end user is only going to continue to be eroded as more and more software moves into the cloud. This isn't like GDPR, the marginal cost to Apple to add a sane way to load what you want on hardware you bought is almost nil.

It would be unreasonable to make Apple sell phones without an operating system, it would not, however, be unreasonable to force them to allow users to have the privilege of even running their own apps at their own risk.

No comment that says something like "Use SOAP instead"?
The whole point of prop 22 was to let the people override the legislature. AB5 passed with like 70% of the vote in the state assembly. If prop 22 only required a 2/3 majority to modify, then the state legislature could immediately repeal it. It s still only takes a simple majority to update it via another ballot initiative

Y Combinator Companies Cloud Adoption/Usage/Spend
This is an historical analysis. It provides no dictum for current behaviour, and no comparison to current events or people. You seem to be suggesting that merely looking at history should not be allowed in case we are able to draw a conclusion from it that suggests something remiss in the political sphere now. That's pretty chilling.
This report answers questions such as "who are some of the fastest-growing cloud buyers in YC?", "what is the cloud spend potential of the fastest-growing YC companies?", and "what is the cloud infrastructure usage by YC company class and vertical?"

>>I think this only solves the problem for the API owner, not the consumer, right?

The only problem this solves is their need to sell their product.

This so-called "schema-driven development" approach was already tried in the past and failed miserably. Call it SOAP or OData, the world already gave that a try, saw all the mess and operational and productivity problems it creates, and in spite of the gold mine it represented for tooling vendors and consulting firms, it was a collosal mess.

It's very weird how their selling pitch is based on veiled insults on hoe "the industry is still twenty years behind", but they failed to do their homework to learn the absolute mess that their so-called "schema-driven development" approach left behind.

It's as if they are totally oblivious to why the whole world shifted to "free-form" APIs, which worked far better than the SOAP mess, and their are hell bent on betting on a rehash of the bad old days.
It's interesting to think about how covid interacts with this theory. Turchin suggests three major conditions that contribute to decline:

1. Overproduction of aspiring elites

2. Decline of living standards

3. Explosion of public debt

The pandemic could accelerate 2 and 3 in many parts of the world: governments are spending huge amounts of public money to cushion the economic blow, but they are unlikely to do so completely and it could take years for living standards to recover.
The 1050Ti is hardly a current gen GPU. It was a budget card when it came out years ago.
> I am not making any argument that can be construed as this. You are misreading me if you think I am. I agree that people should be allowed to make their own choices which is why I strongly oppose government regulation of software distribution. It’s also why I support people’s right to choose platforms like iOS.

Fair enough. I've read some of your other replies on here and I got the wrong end of the stick.

As for the rest of your comment here. I agree.
It's not necessarily bad, but it can sometime be bad, and that's why there's a leverage cap to it.

The new regulation did not ban ABS, it only stipulated that Ant have to have X amount of collateral before selling them.
They (Craig F) stated that’s not what they are doing. They aren’t merging paradigms.

They are bringing the best bits of iOS to macOS
I do too. Reading the comments here there are plenty who don't care about others enough to take basic precautions, and happily spread lies about the effects of covid-19 or who is vulnerable.

I expect there will also be social penalties. The world isn't going to forget the people who chose not to take basic steps to protect each other. It's a violation of the social contract, and that comes with consequences.

Although the nitty gritty details of the situation may be complicated, I do think that the high level situation is pretty simple.

IE I am not sure how anyone could look at Apple's control over its market, and its policies, and disagree with the idea that Apple has significant control, and that its policies are anti-competitive.

Regardless over the exact definition of a market that you use, it is quite clear that Apple has pretty significant market power over something and that its actions cause app prices to be significantly higher than they would be otherwise, if they allowed competing app stores.
That's not the issue here.

The issue is - COVID, too, shall pass, people will come out in the open again, and meanwhile the measles vaccination rates have dropped a lot, thanks to irrational beliefs made popular by "influencers".

There is tooling built to easily do grpc requests from the command line[0] or even a GUI if that's your thing[1].

The tooling isn't quite as ubiquitous as cURL, but if anything I would think that its even easier because you have introspection into the contract with a .proto file.

Regarding pills, I read he had Percocet addiction problems and that drugs were found in the car:

>The charges say Kelete told jail officials that he was withdrawing from the narcotic Percocet and that he struggled with an “untreated addiction.” Washington State Patrol accident investigators found “several implements commonly used to smoke illegal substances” and a substance “that appears similar to crystal methamphetamine” in the car, according to the charges.

I hadn’t read about the field sobriety test (so thank you for providing that information!), only the drugs in the car and his opioid addiction. I don’t know whether a field sobriety test would detect that type of intoxication.

You really can’t imagine why vigilates’ sense of citizenship would extend beyond a neighborhood? And if we are assuming only selfish self interest, what happens in one neighborhood doesn’t stay there. I’m not saying their actions were right, but they’re not hard to understand.
> So you blocked the police out of a whole neighborhood of a few square blocks, and a gang moving into the power vacuum is a surprise?

It was completely unexpected. And it will be completely unexpected the next time, and the next time, and the next time...

Sure they did, we called them “cottage industries”. You’ve always been able to buy from a farmer’s market or small general stores (who source a lot of their merchandise from random craftsmen). Craigslist pre-dates Uber, and classified ads pre-dates Craigslist. There are stores around the world specializing in hand-made and home-made items. Independent contractors have existed since the beginning of civilization, and any city in the world will have a generic handyman service for work around the house.

My wife just sold four candles, Uber wasn’t involved with that. My grandmother knits dishclothes and sells them to a local shop for distribution whenever she decides to go into town, Uber didn’t invent that.
I wasn't awake—good guess! But actually the bulk of this thread is pretty good.

What we want to avoid is veering into tedious, predictable flamewar - that did happen, but at least it was concentrated in one subthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25083956).

Substantive discussion of an interesting historical article is always welcome on HN. I don't know if it seems like the moderation standard is obscure but to me it's pretty clear: we're just trying to optimize for curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Curiosity dies a flaming death as partisan and ideological passions take over, but there's plenty of space for it if one can steer clear of those supernovas.

Well, two things there.

1: Userbenchmark.com is terrible and nobody should use it for anything. At least their CPU side of things is hopelessly bought & paid for by Intel (and even within the Intel lineup they give terrible & wrong advice), maybe the GPU side is better but I wouldn't count on it.

2: The real question there isn't "why is the 1050 Ti not faster?" it's "how did you run a 1050 Ti on MacOS in the first place, since Nvidia doesn't make MacOS drivers anymore and hasn't for a long time?"

Social distancing is very sketchily done in a lot of places.

It’s a weak third world economy that is modernizing. Of course the growth is tremendous. The west (and Japan/Korea) went through this in the 19th and 20th centuries, this will happen all over the world this century across Africa and Asia. You can’t give too much credit for growth in comparison to the rest of the world when the backdrop is being behind. There are over a billion smart people to draw from, it’s just inevitable and draws from the strength of Chinese culture before mao suppressed it with the cultural revolution when schools were destroyed. This is in spite of the authoritarianism, and based on Hong Kong and Taiwan, would have happened decades ago without it

I remember a time when laptops were supposed to be exactly what they suggest "lap" top, a computer that you can lug around easily and keep it in your lap while you work. Anything more than a 13 inch imo doesn't really adhere to those ideas. If I wanted a 16 inch screen, I'd use a desktop, or external monitors. But maybe that's just me.
Maybe its the norm in US, but in Europe kids are very much going to school even if overall the society in given state is close to standstill. Not claiming every single state is like that here over the pond (situation evolves), but most are. Even in most infectious region per 100k citizen in last 14 days - canton Geneva in Switzerland, schools are running open, so are kindergartens.

Doesn't make much sense, I know. But on the other side at least for us we are not skipping nay vaccinations, nor for us (mainly flu) nor for out 11 month old kiddo.

I sympathize, and I've been doing my best to keep my comments narrowly focused on matters of fact rather than policy. This is one of the problems we face: facts have been politicized. And the politicization of facts is not evenly distributed along the ideological spectrum. That, too, is simply a fact.
How to easily understand flexbox CSS
I think the question if the law make sense or not is somehow distracting us from a bigger problem.

The big problem I see is that it is perfectly clear that the decision factor was money put into political campaign done not by politicians, which are sort of accountable for what they do (they might not just get elected), but by people who simply had enough money.

Democracy sort of worked because elected representatives were supposed to make law based on justice and ethics and common interest. Right now law is made because someone was able to pull out enough money to buy particular regulation.

There is some democratic ceremony around all this, but this is just a ceremony. The ancient Rome citizens also thought that they have democracy in the times of triumvirate, but this was also a show.

The characterization of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet being content with Chinese Communist Party rule may be an exaggeration. Furthermore, Xi's hardline was a reaction to 1) rampant corruption of the communist party as a result of market liberalization. 2) democratic movements across the world, including the Arab Spring, the 2011 Chinese Jasmine Revolution, and the Umbrella movement.

Basically Xi's nightmare is the disintegration of the Soviet Union and he's running the opposite playbook that Gorbachev used.
This article claims that higher threadcounts (as high as 680) improves the filtering of 2-layer 100% cotton masks. However, it seems that threadcounts this high are primarily a marketing gimmick by sheet makers that don't really make practical sense. Furthermore, because it's marketing gimmick, you can't really go out and buy so-called "680 threadcount cotton fabric" you can get sheets labeled that way but not a bolt of fabric from a craft store. I wan't to know what fabric they actually used to make this theoretical mask, without that this seems pretty specious.

Yeah and the article says it has been rising since 2017. This isn't really about covid, we have a global outbreak of measles and it is mega contagious.

Here is a link to the article that removes the wall.

There's no way a Tablet can give a good Factorio experience.

Fundamentally, the user-interface is baked into the game. Every button-click, every key, has a purpose. Lets list the things that you must do in Factorio:

1. Move the avatar -- WASD keys + shoot + weapon select. The combat system includes grenades of various types, auto-firing machineguns, and deployment of various "combat bots".

Given the typical tablet gestures (click, click-and-hold, two-finger press, etc. etc.), there's simply not enough gestures to handle all movement and battle commands.

2. Building -- Even in combat, building items is common. I often build power-poles + electric turrets as part of my combat push into biter-land. Buildings can be rotated (4-rotations), shadow-built (you don't place a real building: just a shadow of one. Then a bot places a real one at a later time), or copy/pasted.

Given the typical tablet gestures (click, click-and-hold, two-finger press, etc. etc.), there's simply not enough gestures to handle all building commands.

3. Advanced UIs -- #1 and #2 give you an idea of how detailed the controls of Factorio are. But this extends dramatically to all entities in the game. Editing an inserter? That's a custom GUI (inserter filters, inserter stack sizes, inserter direction, inserter-rotation). Building a train-track? Custom GUI. Combinator logic? Custom GUI. Train-scheduling? Custom GUI.

-----

Maybe a Factorio could be rebuilt from scratch on the Tablet form factor. But I severely doubt it. Almost every key on the keyboard is bound to a command, all mouse buttons (zoom, scroll, right-click, left click, and more) are bound to commands.

And there are even "vi-like" hotkeys for the shortcut bar, allowing you to swap custom items into your toolbelt because we still don't have enough buttons to do things in Factorio.

A hypothetical "Tablet Factorio" would have to grossly simplify mechanics, and reduce the number of "modes" the game has. Its hard to tell that all these modes exist in Factorio, because the UI just so naturally teaches you the hotkeys and the buttons to push in all circumstances. But when you break it down, there's "too many modes" to really cram into a GUI.

And mind you: unlike Civilization, Factorio is Realtime. Biters are FAR faster than the player in the early game, they bum-rush you and block your movement. Every fraction of a second you waste with controls is another biter that comes up to start nom-noming you. Touch-screen interfaces are just too slow for combat.

-------

EDIT: And all of these GUIs interact with each other in "logical" ways. If you want to drive a tank (or even a train) while ordering bots to deploy blueprinted Laser Turrets, you can do that in Factorio.

But maybe the biter swarm was stronger than you expected, so you're going to retreat. You disable your personal roboport, swap out for some exoskeletons (+Speed), exit the tank, load a nuclear bomb into the rocket launcher, then run back to your base while nuking the biters who are chasing you.

You can seamlessly transition between situations, realtime. All the GUIs of Factorio interact with each other seamlessly.
I don't see the cognitive dissonance?

- You can have free press without private businesses just like we can have a Judicial branch that's paid for by the government but is independent of it. It comes with challenges, but it's not like privately run news are perfect either.

- Civil liberties can be protected in any form of government and economy, even a dictator can decide to do that

- increasing employment is a no-brainer, it's a prominent feature of socialist countries.

- agrarian reforms are similarly commonly observed, it's probably one of the defining things of the USSR (and China, where it famously didn't go as smoothly)

There's also no real reason why you can't have prices in socialism (and as far as I'm aware most socialist systems have prices). The loop looks a bit different since the supply side is typically centrally managed, but even that is technically an implementation detail and not a required feature of socialism.
It's sad that no one wanted a compromise solution. First the state government insisted everyone be 100% employees, then the only option on the ballot was keep that or 0%. So now we're at 0.
