You are wrong in that I am not a neo nazi. I am saddened by your comment. As the HN rules suggest, try to be charitable. I am not a bad actor.

Does empathy and understanding other people lead to Nazism etc or away from extremism? Does encouraging less thought and consideration about your neighbour make the world better? I don't think so.

Explicitly how do we change a person's mind away from extremism? Is it possible? Will they want to? See my above comment in that light. Understanding others is hard but it's possible.

Is it possible for humans to be less polarised? If so, perhaps understanding and empathy is one way.

I try to allow people to change their minds and allow peace and more empathy. Real change comes from inside. I cannot change another's mind for them. Some see this change as painful and some others are fearful of people changing their minds as it means less in group cohesion. If opposite groups are less coherent is that better than advocating for more polarisation?

Back to the original question: If you do not understand what is going on, do you think it's possible to understand? If yes, do you want to understand? if yes, how does one understand something? If no, how does not wanting to understand something affect the world? Does less or more understanding help or hinder lives?
Moderna: Covid vaccine shows nearly 95% protection
Exactly. Moreover, the ad about the second vacuum cleaner only has to be more effective than whatever random ad distribution was used previously, which would be a rather low bar.
In Geekbench5, they benchmark html5, SQLite reads, pdf rendering, text rendering etc. Seems somewhat relevant. They are providing an upper bound on this activity, and that’s good to know.

I would be surprised if Debian did anything like this. There is popularity-contest, but they are very explicit about it and it's opt-in. Other than that anything else would be considered as a bug.

I don't practice law but it seems obvious to me how one would make rulings about marriage laws before and during Obergefell v. Hodges. One of the central tenants of originalism is using words/language according to their original meanings (within reason). Since when have we understood marriage to include same sex? Long after these laws for marriage were put on the books in many cases.

So I turn it on you - I'm not an expert so help me understand - how is Obergefell v. Hodges not legislation from the bench when it changes the meaning of these laws unilaterally?
We are getting towards the point where we will have to boot up into a full screen Linux VM because the outer operating system is too laden with crap like this (and secure boot).

Yes. It looks ugly.
The town square is defined by being the town square i.e. paid for, operated by and maintained by the government as a public space for the public.

So any example you come up with which doesn't start with "service provided by the government for the public benefit" doesn't apply. And pub's definitely don't apply since they've long been able to eject anyone for pretty much any reason they want.

So no, services provided by private companies, on their privately owned infrastructure, are not "public spaces for discussion".

I think it is time hacker news filters out these kind of desktop migration stories. It almost seems the authors write them to convince themselves of something, unsure what exactly.

I don't agree, and moreover I note that this is a purely semantic point that you are making.

Apple is a major hardware manufacturer and software developer, and it seems totally appropriate to suggest that Apple is responsible for how it chooses to implement certain features. Saying "well, we just took it off the shelf" may work for a small-potatoes business, but not the largest public company in the world.

Additionally, it's like the Nuremberg Defense of software.

Any protocol (or tool in general) is appropriate for certain situations, and inappropriate (in this case, vulnerable) in other ones. You shouldn't suggest that others must bend over backwards semantically to try to pass the buck away from Apple, because Apple is responsible for using the protocol. Saying "Apple's protocol" indicates that Apple made the conscious choice to use that protocol, and that Apple has ownership of the consequences of using that protocol.
Welcome to the resistance. I’ve been running Ubuntu on my MBP for a year now and have had zero issues, even with the retina display. No special drivers needed, at least for my model.
I keep it dual boot so I can work on mobile apps in OS x, but I suspect apple will screw me out of that option to try and force me to upgrade at some point, and at that point, iPhone apps will become something I don’t work on, or I’ll use a remote build service for them.
It would be more palatable if going back updated the UI state to the previous location of the country you were dragging around, but this doesn't seem to work (at least not in Firefox).

I'm not sure how it is on Mac, but on Windows if you've ever used an app that can block network connections, and limit other applications. What is to stop any other app on your computer doing the exact same thing. As far as I've understood any app has access to any other app and the whole environment is just a warzone of apps where you have to trust every app completely to be okay with running it.
AND it is Big Brother in its “1984” ad. “We will prevail!”

PS: Why don’t the people here combine forces and capital to create a video and privately registered website like apple1984.com (I think trademarks can be used for criticism, otherwise just use 1984 plus something) and actually run this ad to shame apple on various social media and youtube? DoubleTwist did.

Even an RTC 2060 beats it, the 2060 has 52 TFLOPs worth of tensor core ops (not counting the CUDA cores), and it has >100 TOPs @ INT8, or 200+ TOPs @ INT4, so more than 10x the M1.
One of the key takeaways from the paper for me is the relative ranking of those 54 attributes. If the employees ranked “long-term thinking” above “creates a safe haven”, I have possibly learned something. If engineers rank attributes differently than managers or if cashiers rank attributes differently than tech workers...

Side note: I also thought the negative phrasing methodology used was interesting. They asked “is it possible to be a great engineer without this quality?” which I think is most tuned towards qualifying and ranking attributes.

Will it tell you individually how to become a great engineer? No, there are hundreds of posts, many on medium.com for that. This paper may not be perfect, but I found a lot to consider inside and “beyond useless” is pretty far from my judgment.

From your prospective, as you are sitting in the car, they come out at exactly C.

Edit: from an external observer, the forces also do not add linearly becasue they are not acting on the same spacetime direction.
I agree with what you’re saying, but the answer(s) to that last question are fairly obvious

First I’d say that if you’re running a 24 hour news channel, you need to fill the time with something, and people would complain equally if you just rephrased and repeated the facts over and over.
Second, perhaps you don’t, and perhaps I don’t either, but a lot of people want to hear opinions on the news. They want context, and how certain groups view the news, and I suspect, more than anything, they also just enjoy hearing opinions. So the news companies are meeting a demand.

Now I’m quite a left-leaning, pro-govt-intervention person, so I would support government regulation of the news to prevent them playing too heavily to this demand.

However I know that a lot of HN users are not like this, and I’m curious to see where they think the solution could lie

Poker is great. The other big thing it teaches is that luck is real. A hand can be played perfectly, and the player can still lose. Long term, the better player will win, but any player can get sucked out on any given hand. Losing in this way is tough, but a great lesson.

The thing is, with JavaScript you can make websites a lot faster than without, but most of JS is not used for "good".

UBI will help curb early suffering that leads to most people's minds and hearts not being open, where they find unhealthy coping mechanisms to feel better - such as the need to feel superior because they have low to no self-esteem (internal vs. external).

A hand-wavy explanation would be that photons are both particles and waves, so different rules apply.

When you create waves on a water surface with your hands, the speed in which they propagate along the surface is the same regardless of whether you just tap the water straight down, or make a sweep with your hand.
One of the issues I see with this is that the free market encourages companies to try to become a monopoly/oligopoly, because it's the only way to sustain profits in the normal idealized market models.

So you can't support the free market and not allow big companies to exist at the same time.

Instead I think it would be honest to say that we don't want free markets, because they have inherent issues that are detrimental to people. At the same time we don't want planned markets which have historically failed as well.

Instead there must either be a better paradigm or a sweet spot in between (e.g. a well regulated somewhat free market).
Online chess is currently facing a wave of cheating. Kids, stuck at home by covid, are playing chess at grandmaster levels. They are using software to suggest moves.

In another, the doting parents of 10-year-old competitors furiously rejected evidence that their darlings were playing at the level of the world No 1.

That site is wildly inaccurate it lists 1.2% of homes in San Francisco as under 58k. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-francisco/real-esta...

But, if you’re confusing the point, clearly median income isn’t the only factor. Palo Alto is 2,712.65/sq mi where San Francisco is 18,790.74/sq mi. It’s over the hump where you don’t get poor people begging etc. Similarly, manhattan effectively segregates the rich an poor in a way that San Francisco doesn’t, but wealth very much is a factor when comparing San Francisco to similar areas.
There will be some limitation when switching from macOS to Ubuntu, I guess. However, this alternative looks promise.

Big tech may reconsider about privacy in their product very soon.
The Robinson projection is probably what you're looking for. It was explicitly created to try to balance these two extremes.

I also think that the Robinson is probably the best candidate for an accurate "default" map of the world. There are projections I prefer but the Robinson retains the recognizablity as being obviously a map of the world.
> Amazon still thinks that endlessly recommending me tourniquets, splints, medical scissors, and tactical trauma kits is somehow going to result in more sales.

I think for me at this point MacOS is the main reason to stick with Macs. While from user perspective it didn't get much better (maybe it got worse?) since Lion release in 2011, I still find it a major advantage of Macs.

If I were to switch to another system, I'd probably go with another laptop too - I'd get something with HDMI port, maybe touch screen, maybe the Lenovo laptop-tablet thing? There's been quite some innovation out there that Apple simply ignores, yet I can't convince myself to try Ubuntu or Windows again.
Say it like it is, you don't know the tools, not that they are missing.

This might have reasons:

* As far as I remember, start menu ads were premiered by ubuntu [1]

* They might not have "bought" windows 10 at all or at least don't feel like they did: a free upgrade from 7/8, a campus license from their university, "included" in the computer they bought

Many of the advantages and disadvantages of various OS come down to personal taste and willingness to deal with them. There's no need to belittle either side.

[Dual payment systems are not new either: Ads and payments at the same time allow you to keep the cost lower (or increase your profit if you want to formulate it more cyncically).]

Yes, it’s much better. I’d rather that some artistic objects be lost to time than to give the state authority to take anything it desires. That’s a direct attack on the concept of private property.

Otherwise, yes I agree with the desire to digitize and preserve as much as possible.
> But although intonation exists in the language. it just isn't that important in Japanese.

I was with you until this part. While it is certainly true that intonation (or rather pitch accent) is not written in Japanese, it is absolutely an important part of the language. If your pitch accent is wrong, people will have a harder time understanding you, or may not understand you at all, especially if you make other mistakes on top of it or are using a word that means different things depending on the pitch accent.

The never-ending myth that "Japanese is flat" or that pitch accent does not matter in Japanese is one of the primary causes of Japanese learners ending up with poor prounciation and difficulty sounding natural. It's like having all the accents wrong in Spanish (my native language); sure, people will eventually understand you, but it's just awkward and not correct. Except it's worse in Japanese due to the much higher occurrence of homophones only differentiated by pitch accent.

> I was positively surprised that Ubuntu picked up the native resolutions of both displays

This makes me curious, because I on the other hand would be astonished if it didn’t pick up the native resolution of all displays. So I’m interested in what the mental model is that leads to being surprised when it does work—I know there’s plenty of stuff that I don’t know how it works and may guess incorrectly! As it stands, the only sort of mental model that I can think of is the screen telling the OS “I’m a such-and-such type of display and my resolution is so-and-so”, either when you plug the device in or when the OS asks.
I'm very surprised it runs well. These machines seem designed to not run anything other than macOS.

BTW, I can't wait to see how Linux does on the new M1 Macs.

Just because the technology doesn't work for 17% of people right now, doesn't mean we can't make an improvement for the other 83%. An anecdote, but I live in a city centre, quite close to a primary school. There are multiple range rovers parked outside in the mornings and afternoons. Living in edinburgh, your primary school is assigned based on your post code, so these kids are being driven less than a mile to school in 2L SUVs, in an area where the roads are gritted, and it's snowed a handful of times in the 7 years I've lived here. From speaking to my neighbors, most of the trips my neighbors make are less than 10 miles, and even at that, it's only an occasional 30-40 mile trip to one of the nearer seaside areas. _all_ of these trips are feasible with an EV.

> but diesel engines do last longer.
"Longer" kind of doesn't matter these days. Sure, a diesel engine will literally never die, however my first car was a 1.4L peugeot with 260,000 miles on it. The engine and chassis were the only parts that hadn't been replaced by the time I got it, which is 25 years of your current mileage.

> I'm not opposed to EVs but I don't think there'll be cheap ones like my Diesel if ever or at least for a long long time.

A person commuting 200 miles per week, driving an old, heavily polluting car is likely to be one of the most affected by these changes. People with your driving habits are the reason that regulations like this have to exist in these forms. Poeple will hyper=optimise for their own benefit, as all of the externalities aren't costed. At the very least, buy a post-2008 diesel with a DPF in it.

Japanese is not weakly tonal, that is a giant myth. While the accent patterns have regional variations, if you intend to actually communicate in Japanese beyond ordering stuff at restaurants, you are going to sound very awkward if all your pitch accent patterns are wrong. There are many homophones only differentiated by pitch accent too, which can get really confusing.

Not teaching pitch accent is one of the greatest failings of most Japanese courses and textbooks.

Because, on average, doing that leads to more sales for Amazon than not doing it. They don't care how any given user (you) responds to it, they care about what increases sales across an extremely large user base. Trust me, they have tested this and it's worth doing for them even if you thin it's pointless.
