>If the money is directly redistributed to those who need it, how is that the government deciding how it should be used?

When has this ever happened in the history of mankind? As soon as the government gets cash, when is it "redistributed?" Aside from 1) waiting on charity from the rich or 2) forcing people to yield more of their resources to the government that may or may not [history leans to not] do what you suggest, there is likely a plethora of ways, at the very least a third way. I'm not saying don't give people money, but I am saying it's naive to assume the government can do it. Demanding that we involve government is similar to children demanding parents come resolve their disputes and affairs. There must be a way forward without resorting to shouting "mom! dad!"
No way. I've demonstrably proven to myself that I'm happiest when I'm by myself. Social interactions are tedious, and draining, so I prefer to keep them to a minimum. I optimize for the right things in my life.

How much of that is natural evolution of technology vs planned obsolescence?
We can do it that way. You just end up with many of the same issues we see today being exacerbated further, like rule of law not being followed and a lack of understanding about the legal structure.

The point of citizenship distinction is part of organizing a democratic government and maintaining cohesion. It tests a person on the basic form and laws of the government and their allegiance to the tribe. The point here is that you have a group off like-minded people allowing other like-minded people into the group. This creates a cohesive group that agrees on basic principles and can function well. Think about trying to conduct a system architecture design meeting with the non-technical users weighing in through a democratic vote on each suggestion - are you excited to do your job in that scenario? Do you end up with lemmings following the best salesman without understanding what is going on? (Different opinions are fine as long as they are legitimate and don't violate the common principles)

Letting anyone in makes the knowledgeable people feel disenfranchised by mob rule, not to mention making the organization susceptible to subversion. There's anecdotal evidence (probably statistical evidence if we look around) to support that citizenship that is earned results in a population that is more involved (look at voter turnout in places that never before had free elections).

So while I agree that people in a given location should have say over their government, I also believe that in being a part of that democratic government they have the responsibility to learn the basics by which the government functions. This minimum requirement at least shows a good faith effort on the part of the individual to be a diligent member of society.

Polycarbonate stops bullets, but it's also notoriously soft, scratches easily, it's a thermoplastic (so it melts with heat), and it's soluble in ammonia or acetone (so it's vulnerable to nail polish remover). Other than all that, polycarbonate is a perfect plastic.
Many years back I stayed in Melbourne, Australia with a lovely Chinese speaking elderly couple. They made me lunch, I have no idea what it was but it was delicious! I think it was much more common to rent an extra room back when Airbnb was relatively new.
You might have just convinced me to buy a bread machine...

To add a similar answer, only in the past couple of years have I had a nice rice cooker (we have a Zojirushi) that keeps the rice fresh for ~12 hours. It is irreplaceable at this point (My wife is Asian and rice is a part of pretty much every meal.) Best appliance I have ever bought, gets used every. single. day. and have rice ready-to-eat throughout the day.
This and the Doordash success gives me a lot of hope and inspiration. A few, mostly ordinary people with tenacity and work ethic are able to join the ranks of geniuses like Jobs, Gates, and Bezos. Amazing story. Looking forward to Stripe now.
fMRI brains scans have always been pseudo scientific. There is not even the modicum of falsifiability in those studies. They are looking at pulsing heatmaps for crying out loud and then making associations based on those. This is the modern equivalent of reading tea leaves.
My concern with gating for votes in America is that America specifically has a very long history of gating voting in order to disenfranchise minorities from voting. We cannot trust our institutions not to use any restrictions to vote in a racist way. Without this, I can easily imagine a world where our existing disenfranchisement of minorities makes them uniquely vulnerable to being unable to acquire the education necessary to pass to citizenship test- and that this vulnerability is taken advantage of to cut them out of democracy altogether.

> If they've liked a lot of horrible stuff before, they'll get more horrible stuff,

This is the problem here. It's like gambling addictions: on the one hand the gambler seems to be doing things voluntarily, on the other hand an entire industry is trying to trick them into coming back.
"Using" a programming language is 99% reading and understanding code and 1% writing code. I only control the 1% i write and not the 99% I read. You can't know everything but you need to know enough to understand most of the code you read. If a feature becomes popular among others, then you need to understand it, even if you never use it yourself.
They can be described with 2n * log(4(n + 1)) bits, since each of the n states has two rules, and each rule specifies a new binary symbol, a left or right direction, and a new state which can also be the halt state.
For n=2, this gives 12^4 = 20736 machines. I have no idea where the number 6561 comes from.
> Case in point is iOS 14, which came out a few months ago and still supports the iPhone 6s, which came out in 2015.

When did five years become a massive time for support in general? For phones it is, but there are plenty of things with longer than 5 year support.
Older people do complain about loneliness and isolation. Stay at home moms complain about loneliness and isolation a lot.

By that I want to say that neither is young person issues. It is much easier for younger people to get enough socialization in school, work or whatever. It gets harder when people get older and have family obligations.
I have an Amazon Lambda that I can email links to and it downloads the text with Readability-like format simplification and sends to my Kindle. Use it all the time. Love it.
You can't deny there is a certain vindictiveness to that comment. Being a little vindictive is fine, it's unreasonable to expect saintly purity from people, but it's good to admit such mindsets to yourself at least.
My dad is mentally disabled. Yeah. So much so he has to visit the mental hospital twice. Stayed locked up for two weeks straight. Yeah. We are economically well off only because my grandpa had good estates and stable income. My father somehow got his degree in Economics. He somehow got to the point that he is now well respected at the age of 58. The condition my father has is far far worse than the mere depression every American and first world country seems to have and call it disability.

I am more often talking about mental disability BTW. I should have been more clear. There are problems here too. But its only for the severe causes. Mere depressions which these days are shown more as coolness and victimhood are symptoms of the first world. When you are worried what you will be eating or feeding your child at night, you don't have time for depression. You are worried and tensed but not depressed. In first world country you are far well off. You guys are worried about stupid reasons. Yeah. They are stupid.

Come live in a third world country once. You will understand what I am saying. Victimhood here won't last you far. You will starve.
$69 to replace the earpads, which is the most consumable part for me on cans.

I have a pair of Audio Technica A700s, about $150 new that are now 12 years old; I'm on my 3rd set of earpads. AT gave me a new set free the first time I asked, and it cost me $10 with shipping to get new ones out of warranty. The current ones are 3rd party that are much better than the OEM pads and cost me ~$20.

If a group of toddlers gets their cat is stuck in a tree, calling the largest toddler over to fetch it will also not work. We have to be more creative than resorting to brutalist means. True, I did not offer a solution, but if I suggested that roads 1 and 2 are not correct, where is the man to show me roads 3 and 4?
> I don't understand how anyone could buy these, when the battery is not user-replaceable

Well, the battery is replaceable in a straight-forward way.

The exact process isn't really that important a buying factor considering you'll do it once in every 1000 days (or something on that order).

Ouch, burn. Though oldschool cubicles sound better than the current open office chicken farms I've seen.
Sadly Brexit is a product of the "mainstream" rightwing media in the UK who've been lying about Europe for decades. Remember the UK media are explicitly political; Johnson was even employed as a journalist for a while on a higher salary than the one he gets as Prime Minister.
I am trying to wrap my head around whether ARM's looser memory model is a fundamental performance advantage or not.

I had always assumed that the looser memory model must have a performance benefit. But this comment from last week argues that it doesn't really buy that much, and that a bigger buffer can eliminate most of the difference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25263461

If TSO forces flushing of store buffers for every atomic access, that seems like a substantial disadvantage for x86.
> I'd bet that Apple will stop servicing them after a few years though, as they do with all their products.

Apple's "few years" is "seven years after Apple stops selling them", for most countries: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624
Because a significant part of a product's success is marketing and the psychology underlying it. Apple are masters at marketing, and for many consumers owning Apple products is seen as a way to signal status.

My Bose QC35 are now seven years old or so, and they still charge up fast and hold it for a good long while. I don't know if they're as good as new, but they're close enough that I can't tell the difference. I don't see why the airpods max should be notably worse.

I’m not sure, now that I can afford a nicer place I usually book a hotel due to my previous experience. Maybe I should increase my price ranges and try again, but the key problem just means I really cannot be bothered. If they had places around town to get the keys from I’d be much more likely to use it again.

Having said that places usually are over £90 per night but this is very place dependant.
Same reason they put the charging port for their mouse on the underside. It's a wireless device, and for some reason, they think that if it supports a wired mode, it won't be as special (or whatever their idiotic reasoning is).

And, why use the lightning port?! Aside from the price, choosing to not use USB-C for a charging port killed it for me. I like being able to charge all my devices off one power brick, and I'm not spending $600 on headphones if I need a stupid lightning port for the next 6+ years.
That you've made this point is part of the problem.

I'm judging that the virus is real and a problem based on having had it, knowing people who died from it, knowing other people who had severe symptoms, from knowing (via other acquaintances) what the hospitals in my area were like, and from seeing freezer trucks full of dead bodies in the streets. OTOH, I'm from an area that got crushed by the virus early.

I can't say for sure that if I were in an area that hadn't had much contact with the virus my "Critical thinking" hat wouldn't be saying, "wait, what if they're just telling us there's a virus outside to keep us locked up".
Yes - I also didn't found the averages hard to interpret and not super full of insight.

Presumably a lot of people spend 6-10 hours with their coworkers, and a lot of people spend 0 hours; a lot of people spend 8+ hours with their children, and a lot of people spend 0 hours, and pretty much the same for all of those categories.

I'd have found a few 'typical' people in each age group more interesting. This is harder to calculate but maybe k-means clustering would be a good solution.
Came here to say this. The last major language changing feature was async/await.

Everything else seems to be on the order of small polish to the language (trailing commas), standard library expansion, and in some cases language restrictions to make rust fit better with embedded systems.

In many ways, Java is seeing more major changes than rust is.
It could be some conflict with your addons. I couldn't reproduce.
> You make a great point that just doing tasks is not necessarily going to make or break a company, there are tons of other factors.

Exactly. Doing tasks is literally table stakes -- it's the equivalent of showing up. For any company that banks on its differentiation, making big moves that cement the company require more thought, more depth, more risk. These kinds of simplistic platitudes amount to hierarchical animisms; they have little to do with the very specific things that make up a real high performance organizational culture.

VW's emission cheating produced more Nitrogen Oxide emissions and less carbon dioxide emissions than if the vehicles ran the same in normal conditions and test conditions. In a nutshell, the engines ran hotter while cheating, which naturally increases fuel efficency and nitrogen oxide production.

So, it was bad for breathing, but good for climate change. Except that remedying the situation was probably a lot of emissions.
It's my perspective, but yeah, I shouldn't have generalized. Different people have different preferences, needs and opinions.
? Facebook censors. Heavily.

My argument was the opposite - that if people want less censorship, because they don't agree with FB banning their version of 'hate speech' - then they can make their own website.

There are 0 common platforms that don't censor. They all do, all day long.

Do you realize how much content on there is not suitable for publication? Death threats, doxxing, harassment, using the n-word to refer to black people etc.

No civil platform is going to allow that - and most of them have a higher bar frankly.

The much more challenging question has to do with 'truthiness' - because if you make a post that says 'XYZ stole the election, here is the 'evidence' (and it's not evidence) and it gets 300 million views - the result being that 50% of a nation firmly believe the election was 'stolen' but by objective measures it clearly was not ... then you have a mass media problem.

The 'free speechers' might want to be inclined to allow that to pass, because there's nothing illegal about lying. But misinformation has material impact.

Issues of vaccination are a deep - we know that 'anti vaxxers' have had huge success on Social Media leading up to COVID, and now were are facing a public health emergency where we need probably 75% of the population to get the vaccine to reach 60% herd immunity or whatever - or the pandemic won't subside.

People spreading false fears and lies about vaccines - while probably totally within the scope of 'free speech' is going to create some very serious problems.

On the other side, Twitter has announced that 'deadnaming' a trans person will get you banned. Literally saying the name 'Ellen Page' (because it's now 'Elliot Page') is like hate speech. While I understand that 'deadnaming' is a very rude thing to do, I don't remotely think it's a form of 'hate speech'. The government of Quebec fined someone $30 000 for making a joke about a guy in a wheelchair. Again, really, really not nice, but should not be illegal, and probably should be allowed on Facebook or Twitter as well. That's why we have the 'unfollow' button.

If someone is threatening/doxxing/abusing Elliot Page a person in the wheelchair, probably greater steps need to be taken, but not otherwise.

All media is controlled. Always. Someone is always in charge, someone is controlling what information flows, and frankly it's usually biased, but most 'institutions' bend at least to the public good.

So you can say anything you want on your front lawn, and on your personal blog ... but once in the commons, different kinds of filtering will kick in.

If someone makes the "non-apple M1" ARM SoC, then I'd be 100% sold on an PineTAB, if it got pen input, too. I would drop all the money I got on that.

2K @ 12" or 13", some USB-C ports, 500GB storage and a good battery. Vanilla butter brain bath for some magnetic dock connector. Standard Linux DE for all I care.

That would be the perfect mobile device.

External mobility module with mobile internet, GPS, small laser beamer, lidar and camera; Compute module with additional graphics or cpu power.

All this would be possible today, although not for pine64.

> …it says that somewhere down the line we might be able to add our own RSS feeds

Even then, what this really means is that when you "add an RSS feed", it'll be added to Brave's back-end system so they can continue to own the distribution. This demolishes the creator/consumer relationship, which is an incredibly sleazy thing to do to content creators.

Imagine the HN outcry if Chrome worked the same way, and could no longer fetch web pages directly.

I will personally never use a so-called news reader that inserts itself as a centralized middleman between myself and everything I read.
Here's the thing: I don't care about BMW. I have a nice situation with Apple holding the keys to the castle, without the horrendous problems that friends of mine have had with Android malware, and you're threatening it. I don't want that.

End of story.

I don't care who makes money and how they do it. I don't care about any wider point. I care that my experience on the phone that I bought for that experience doesn't get worse. I believe that experience would get worse, if there was open-season on the apps that could be installed. Capitalists are going to capitalize. The walled garden comes with restrictions that I signed up for, and I'm happy about that. That was why I signed up in the first place.
I don't dispute the concept of planned obsolescence — or even fraudulent sabotage. (Looking at you, Logitech, with the 7 mouse devices we bought which (while otherwise excellent) lasted between 14 and 17 months with a 12 month warranty!)

But my point is that it's not relevant to computer/smartphone oriented wireless headphones. Most of us are gonna want new ones within 3-4 years regardless of what Apple plans. (Wired headphones, different story.)
To me it seems like both of these are true? There is a lot wrong with the status quo, so people go looking outside that for solutions. They run into charlatans offering quick, easy, convenient, and disastrous solutions.

It's strong parallels to those people who've found a valid but isolated problem with the medical establishment then immediately jump off the deep end into completely untested nonsense from quacks which they've heard from Youtube. "Collodial silver" and all that.

If you scroll through the comments here, you will undoubtedly come across some that simply say, "[flagged]".

You probably won't see many claims that Hacker News is censoring anything. That's because what is happening is not "censorship", but "moderation".

That is also the case with YouTube removing content. It is not "censorship", but "moderation".

It doesn't feel like moderation though, does it?

YouTube is not like a forum where a short public list of users make the decision to remove a comment. We're talking about a private list of employees removing videos, probably even indirectly via algorithms; and very few alternative places to post videos.

Those who are worried about YouTube "censoring" political discourse should already be worried about YouTube "moderating" discourse in general. What we really need are alternative platforms, each with different moderation goals.
