Sure. If you don't like your opinions being hidden, you just have to go build your own community of millions of people. Simple. And of course, nobody should be concerned that the communication channels for ~all forms of public debate are privately owned.

Look: I don't mind being downvoted. I don't care about karma points. But the HN system is one where downvoted comments are hidden, which is itself a form of censorship. Marginal opinions are routinely buried -- and I'm not even talking about my own. I upvote unfairly grayed-out comments that I disagree with, all the time.

It is deeply ironic, for example, that my parent comment about censorship is now hidden at the bottom of the page, in light gray, because one person downvoted it.
A believe a lot of it also revolves around being dependent on outsiders. For example, I think in some cases it's OK to generate their own electricity with a diesel generator but they will not use electricity from the utility grid.
I am genuinely interested in Materialize's capability to incrementally maintain views and I understand there are all sorts of limitations as to when that's even possible - I can't find a comprehensive list of them. I don't think it's fair to say you support every possible select statement and then just have some of them be slow. The lateral join case was the first warning I encountered in the docs - is that the ONLY case and every other possible select statement can be incrementally maintained?
Is there a mechanism for communicating to the server that the http2 implementation doesn't support push beyond parsing user agent?

Or are we just going to end up with servers pushing to chrome and it just ignoring it? That sounds even worse.
I noticed there is this new VC or (pseudo public figure) cartel between this guy, Naval, Alred, and many more. They always retweet each other and upvote/promote each other’s post. This guy is shameless self promoter. His posts got upvoted here many times. Don’t mistake for a minute thinking this is some hobo doing millions. He is well connected with VCs and self promoters like Naval who like giving out platitudes.

I’ll never get how people can argue that older versions of Windows are more aesthetically pleasing than windows 10. I don’t use Windows (and haven’t since XP) but even I think 10 looks better than, say, Windows 7s fat task bar.

Although I can actually say with a straight face I think most default Linux DEs look better than Windows for the first time in my life.
> Boeing wanted to do the same. Their design didn't accommodate the bigger, more efficient engines they wanted. So they created a workaround.

Note that Boeing had this problem ever since the 737 Classic (the second generation 737) was introduced, hence the non-circular engine inlets they've had for decades. This cost them efficiency, at the benefit of maintaining commonality with all its advantages.

Note that last I heard Airbus was planning a clean-sheet redesign for the A320neo's successor, targeting an early 2030s introduction into service. If you allow me to speculate for a moment, Airbus is in an interesting position now having the A220 in its family: it could easily stretch the A220 to be comparable in capacity to the A320, leaving an A320 family replacement to focus on the A321 and the smaller midsize market.
The probability is exactly the same as the probability of any one ticket holder winning the lottery.

It's a very simple argument: the draw from the week before is the ticket. The next draw, which is completely independent, either matches the ticket, or it doesn't.

Depends on what you consider rational. E.g. flying a few hours on the pre-fixes 737 Max would have been more dangerous than driving a few hours in a car. And a cautious person can greatly reduce their risk of death in car driving by being a cautious driver.

Yeah I mean I guess you're right - the verbiage could be improved. I just don't think it's worth getting hung up on. It's still a fun little game. I've heard that everything in a processor can be built up out of nand gates and always wondered how that worked so it's been neat to work through it.

It's kind of a learning-first game though so I guess if your goal is to beat the game and get every achievement, yeah you'll be disappointed.
Honestly I did the same here. It completely undermines their argument and turns their comment into a whine-fest. I don't need to be told how to "think" about things and how I should allow more and more government into my life by some random internet commenter who's upset over downvotes (especially not from one who's not even associated with SV at all and has little to stand on).
> My absolute dream would be for the DOJ to make Google and Apple collaborate on a cross-platform native app API and treat it as a first class citizen.

No. This is exactly what they should not be doing, because it requires detailed ongoing precision regulatory work.

The government is not a scalpel, it's a sledgehammer. It can easily say that the same company can't make both third party app stores and operating systems, or both video search/recommendations and video hosting. It's a clear enough line, it isn't mired in technical details, you swing the sledgehammer at the fault line between the two markets and break them apart. Then you go home.

I'm not so sure. The FTC for example lists a lot of possibilities, and it states monopoly is used as a convenient shorthand but what actually matters is:

"Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors."

As to your point, don't confuse the market of phone devices with the market for apps. If I, as a developer, want to sell my apps what is my choice? The only real choice is Android or iOS.

According to this iOS had two thirds of total sales. I'm probably going to want to develop for that, but oops, I only have one app store choice.
It comes down to power. Studios don't own theatres because they aren't powerful enough to lobby for that, but if were more profitable for studios and theatres to be vertically integrated (spoiler alert: it would), then you'd bet it'd happen. Maybe Disney will take the lead on that one.

Look, I don't like it either, but common people have statistically insignificant impact on whether or not legislation is passed.

Why would one use TXR Lisp for small programs rather than Python? There are many reasons, but several are immediately striking:

1. Way better REPL experience with multi-line editing.

2. No "import this from that" disease. The entire language/library is simultaneously available.

3. No this.that.foo.bar() disease: The entire language/library is named by flat symbols. Posix things mostly have their normal names:

$ txr
This is the TXR Lisp interactive listener of TXR 244.
Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on an empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet.

There is a package system, but everything predefined by TXR is in one package called usr, all of which is visible in the pub package in which code is read by default.

4. No analog of __pycache__: no pollution of your current working directory. You compile code yourself using (compile-file "yourfile.tl") which pops out a "yourfile.tlo", or use the code interpreted.
> Nobody generates more than 20% of their electricity from solar. Denmark is the only country that generates over 30% of its power from wind, and Germany is the 3rd highest at 24.7% [2]. By comparison plenty of countries generate more than 30% of their electricity from nuclear power

This is an extremely odd comparison. No one is proposing a completely solar generation strategy - it's renewables vs whatever.

Plenty of countries generate more than 30% of their electricity from renewables.
It's especially not much of a negotiation if they fire you for daring to negotiate, rather than saying "no".
> The science of nutrition is still in its infancy, with very basic questions still unanswered, and we're very, very far from having catalogued all the nutrients in meat and vegetables and understanding their effects on our body.

Even calling those compounds "nutrients" in the first place is a bit circular. If something hasn't had enough of an effect on any of our observations to warrant further investigation, or else if all the evidence points to it being largely inert, then it probably isn't much of a nutrient. We've almost certainly missed a thing or two here or there, but pointing to a list of compounds in meat that aren't in a nutrition book and assuming those must be nutrients of some kind doesn't seem like a productive activity.

> I mean, even with macro nutrients, just look at the flip-flopping and debates over the past few decades on saturated fats, trans fats, carbs vs fats, etc. Then when you get to micronutrients, we don't even know what we don't know.

The implication seems to be that macronutrients should be easier to reason about, so if we don't know much about them then we can't know much about micronutrients. In practice though, macronutrient composition doesn't matter much and doesn't have strong effects, whereas many micronutrients are easily testable. The flip-flopping hasn't been one of a vast scientific consensus, but rather small amounts of scientific research and a vast marketing machine.

> You can see the other comment I made on how, for example, we know chicken soup helps fight colds, but don't have the slightest idea what compound is responsible. Will lab-grown chicken do the same?

That seems like a moving goalpost (or a misunderstanding on my part as to what your position is). Is "a reasonable understanding of nutrition" a large enough body of knowledge to tailor a body composition to one's favourite activities and keep it healthy for its normal lifespan barring medical events (aging, cancer, colds, loss of limb), or is it a perfect understanding of every interaction things we can consume might have with our body or any other organisms we're hosting?

Mildly off-topic: We know that chicken soup probably eases cold symptoms, and so do hot water and hot tea. Even assuming a compound is medicinally responsible in the first place doesn't seem like a great starting point.

> For more perspective, 2G came along decades later and that had more thought, why it used cutting edge 56bit encryption, which today is akin to plain text.

It was not 56-bit, but 54-bit, not cutting edge even in the 80s. Remember that GSM's encryption was designed under the restriction of crypto regulations, weak security was deliberately used, just like how SSL had weak export ciphers thanks to the NSA. A few cryptographers behind GSM [0] have accused the GCHQ and the NSA for sabotaging GSM's security, or at least acknowledged the security was weakened due to political pressure.

> Jan Arild Audestad has been an employee of Telenor in many years and has also been a professor at Gjøvik Universty College and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

> — Originally we proposed that the encryption key length should be 128 bit, because we knew little about cryptographic systems, and how secure they were. The request was that the keys and algorithms should be secure at least for 15 years after the installation, Audestad tells.

> Audestad says that the British were not very interested in having a strong encryption. And after a few years, they protested against the high security level that was proposed.— They wanted a key length of 48 bit. We were very surprised. The West Germans protested because they wanted a stronger encryption to prevent spying from East Germany. The compromise was a key length of 64 bit – where the ten last bits were set to zero. The result was an effective key length of 54 bit.

> Aftenposten has spoken to several people who together with Audestad co-operated on building the GSM network.

> One of them is Peter van der Arend from Netherlands. He tells Aftenposten how he «fought» with the British about this case – especially in a meeting in Portugal.

> - The British argued that the key length had to be reduced. Among other things they wanted to make sure that a specified Asian country should not have the opportunity to escape surveillance.

> Van der Arend was very opposed to the British proposal.

> — The length was increased by the British – two bits at the time. They did not want to go further than 54 bits. And even though I argued against it, I eventually lost support from the others. And from that moment we had weaker security, and I am still angry about this.

> Thomas Haug, who was one of the most central persons in the making of GSM, also says that he was put pressure on by the British.

> — I was told by a British delegate that the British secret services wanted to weaken the security so they could eavesdrop more easily.

> Michel Mouly from France was one of the other central people in the making of GSM. He cannot confirm that the British were pushing for weaker encryption. But he confirms that the encryption was not as strong as planned, due to political pressure. Mouly also confirms that it would have been technological possible to have a much stronger encryption than what the result became.

> I get it -- beyond a certain point this sort of thing becomes fraud, which is already illegal.

True. I suppose that the people asking for more regulation (myself included in this instance) would mostly just like for those laws to actually have teeth in this sort of situation. Unfortunately, lawmakers/enforcers mostly fall in the "not knowing" category.

Also, my apologies if I came across as overly combative, that was not my intention.

> If you disapprove of that, you don't have to work there.

Unfortunately, many people do not have the option to drop a job and find a better work environment. I have some other views on this, but that would be OT for this thread.

Definitely agree on that.

that sequence happens, but multiple winners is rare

The user interface I use and recommend to others is Duck Duck Go. Why would I recommend using Bing directly?
It's more complicated than that.

How much were pocket supercomputers back then? Or cordless phones? Or chicken pox vaccinations? Or cars designed to protect childrens' lives and health? What did almond milk cost in Duluth? How much were encyclopedias?

Some things are absolutely more expensive, but we definitely have improvements since then, and automation (like modern logistics) contribute to almost all of them.

To put it another way, I would rather have the median income today while doing day-to-day activities now than any past decade. And to the extent that there are downsides in those decisions, I think it's odd to say automation is to blame versus other forces like anemic growth in housing supply.
Your argument is disingenious at best.

> Probably the one that's full of fake apps and malware.

If all other marketplaces are shady then why is that? Is it because Apple has locked out any way for a competing marketplace to afford to protect users? If you know of specific instances of fake apps and malware being distributed on other legitimate marketplaces why don't you name such a marketplace and get it improved?

> Or you can write desktop apps and sell them however you'd like.

Desktop apps target a completely different user-base with different wants and needs. That's like asking people wanting to make and sell cars to consider making toys instead.
Thought experiment: you're presented a jar, and offered the chance to bet ten bucks on drawing a white ball. You know nothing about the content of the jar. What odds would you take?

Now, you see ten white balls get added, then are blinded while other balls are added (maybe). You estimate the jar can't hold more than about a hundred balls. What odds would you take?

Now, you see ten white and ten black get put in, and saw it was empty before. What odds?

Now, you see ten white and fifty black, but the whites are larger, and you get to draw a ball. What odds?

The difference between the second-to-last and the last is the missing information we usually think of when we talk about randomness being missing information.

And you'll see that the previous scenarios don't change anything about that.
The only problem tho, is if the person becoming obsolete cannot retrain to something else.

I personally don't believe this to be true - humans are insanely adaptable. Learning new skills is part of it.

If an AI is able to automate and produce everything humans need, there would still be jobs that need a human. For example, prostitution. Or premium service jobs like butlers, etc.

FWIW, note that Bombardier is out of the commercial aviation market now; their only doing business jets now. BAe, now BAE Systems, is very much a defence company; the commercial side effectively went to Airbus with BAe's stake in it.

Multiple aviation projects have almost bankrupt Bombardier in recent history, so I don't really see them getting back into it. And it's hard to see what BAE Systems would get out of entering the commercial aviation market.

It's going to be both. Tesla is working hard on mass-producing more affordable batteries. At the level of individuals it's already worthwhile. For 20K you can have enough Powerwall batteries to power your home when the sun isn't shining. 20K isn't that much on a 300-500K house. Competition will come and the price will come down more.

Couple that with automated buying/selling of renewable power at different times of the day, more efficient home insulation and... I'd say we're nearly there.
