> CA is the most negative State in net domestic migration

Sure, but mostly that's actually good for the state economically since while there is net domestic outmigration, its more than made up for by international immigration, and the gross domestic outmigration is lower on the economic scale than the gross domestic inmigration.
It's worse than that: The entire concept of "luxury housing" is a lie.

The words "luxury housing" are designed to make you think that it is taking up space that could be used by non luxury housing. Like the only reason a new apartment is so expensive is because it has a gold-plated toilet or something, and if only the developer had built an apartment without a gold plated toilet you could afford it. But in Minneapolis, for example, a 2 bedroom apartment in the nicest building in the city, with a built in pool, car wash, and cigar lounge, is $2000 per month. That barely gets you a spot in someone's living room in SF.

This proves that it is not luxuries that make "luxury apartments" expensive in SF. The only luxury is having a roof over your head.
Earlier you said AOSP had a framework for push notifications, a statement found to be false when checking the links you provided.

It all boils down to the "reserve army of labour".

If you're replaceable and there aren't many better options then you can be pressured to work longer hours.

Unfortunately automation is just increasing that "reserve army", rather than reducing working hours across the board.
By no means am I arguing that it can’t go off the rails nor am I arguing that it hasn’t in this case. I am responding to the claim that there are zero exceptions (“buts” in this case) to freedom. That is simply not the case and there is widespread agreement on many exceptions to certain freedoms that are a net benefit to society. We can (and will) debate the specifics of these issues and their trade offs for the rest of time. I’m pushing back on the notion that there is nothing to debate because any exception to freedom is somehow equivalent to tyranny. This assertion is wildly simplistic and does not represent the reality of freedom in the US if we’re discussing facts (actual polity).
Of course I'm ignoring collisions — it's a wordlist.

I'd like to point out that parent ketzo's comment - which describes reality - has been downvoted enough that it appears light grey.

This means that there are enough voting members on HN motivated enough to downvote a comment describing reality - and an insufficient number of voting members motivated enough to upvote it - that a comment describing reality is downvoted.

That's... highly disappointing.
This isn't really vendor lock-in, though. It's simply a technical/design lock-in. Going from unstructured to structured data presents problems, and if you do that, it's rightfully up to you to fix.

It is different from the vendor lock-in that prevents one from migrating from AWS to Google Cloud because all of your code uses their APIs and libraries specifically.

However, the effect is the same, of course. You are locked in! It's not necessarily a bad thing, but this is why you must choose your poison carefully.
Could you sum up the relevance here briefly? I didn't find it clear and it's not a simple to sum up article.

The link says:

> People tend to cite the "fire in a crowded theater" quote for two reasons, both bolstered by Holmes' fame. First, they trot out the Holmes quote for the proposition that not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. But this is not in dispute.

Which seems to be the reason the quote was used and backs it up? So what's the problem?
Yes but the difference shrinks when all the private entities that dominate the communication between people impose the same censorship and competition is effectively prevented by network effects. It's more of an anti-trust problem. Nobody would be complaining if it was just some small internet forum doing it.
DHH mentioned "NEW MAGIC" when he released the Hey stack on twitter [1]:

> The HEY stack:
- Vanilla Ruby on Rails on the backend, running on edge
- Stimulus, Turbolinks, Trix + NEW MAGIC on the front end

There has been a lot of speculation since then on what New Magic is. It was supposed to release at the same time as hey.com but they decided to postpone it till later. Many people think/hope that it is something similar to Phoenix LiveView

Fusion will still require a containment building because of tritium and because of the pressure from volatilized cryogenic coolants. The building will also require very strict control of tritium escape in normal operation. Remember, a 1 DW(e) DT reactor will burn enough tritium in one year to contaminate 2 months total flow of the Mississippi river above the legal limit for drinking water.

Fusion will also require highly reliable equipement, just like fission. Not because of safety, but because the fusion reactor will be complicated and very difficult to repair. The reactor itself, even the magnets, will be irradiated and activated beyond the point where hands on maintenance could be performed.
> completely baseless claims

There have been countless hearings around America. There have been election observers pushed out of counting centers. In Georgia, people were told a pipe burst, sent observers home, and then people kept counting for hours (on video).

These are NOT baseless claims! They should be investigated.

Let me ask you, if they were baseless, would YouTube even need to ban videos? They are banning them because they're afraid. I've watched hours of the hearings and looked at a lot of the information. There are serious issues with this election and they need to be investigated fully.

Are you trying to start a business or do scientific research? I think you’ll struggle to get investors interested in an idea that hasn’t been validated, and you’ll struggle to get academics interested in helping a money-making venture.

Let's say that you brought in signature experts to look for fraudulent ballots, based on detecting forged signatures. What do you think their false positive / false negative rates would look like?
> It's weird to me that we still have people that still cling to the idea that censorship and curation of content is always evil and every site on the Internet should allow completely unmoderated speech

No, not every site. But just as we have some public forums in the real world (not all, or even most "festering echo-chambers of hatred and racism"), we should have some on the internet.

> Not only are you conveniently ignoring that reality, but you're also ignoring the fact that humans are humans.

This reminds of arguing with objectivists who think that everything they believe flows from "A is A". I do agree that humans are humans, I'm glad we found some common ground here. Presumably you are human as well. But you are not concerned that what you believe is the result of "false information that has been carefully constructed and self-selected to misinform you and appeal to your emotions". It's only other humans who are vulnerable to this, and you need to protect them from it, for their own good.

> Stop. Just stop. You're not helping. You're not enlightened. You're part of the problem.
I don't think this argument helps your case at all.

If you say morality was better in the past, which past are you talking about? After all, as you just admitted, morality changed in the past just as much as it did in the present.

Not only was morality not constant in the past, it was not constant geographically, nor even within the same religion (Protestant vs Catholic, Southern Baptist vs Episcopalian). Protestants in the US did not agree with Catholics in Europe, to say nothing of Muslims in the middle east and Buddhists in Asia.

What "eternal constant morality" are you appealing to? Are we talking about Protestantism in 1800? Roman Catholicism in 1400? Buddhism in 800 AD? Theocratic Judaism in 200 BC? Kantian categorical imperatives of the early 20th century?

So, again, if you claim that morality is constant based on some "past", it is incumbent upon you to answer : Which past, and in what country/tribe/kingdom, was the absolute "constant" morality that you claim we should now uphold here in the 21st Century?

I'm far more worried about kamikaze drones with machine guns than I am about robot dogs. You can crank out 100 cheap and deadly flying drones for the cost of the smallest robot dog. The dog might be tougher, but it's much slower and easier to stop.

Mello Roos doesn't make the developer pay, they make the people in the special district pay. The developer gets to sell the units without any concern for what more people will do to local infrastructure.

I guess they could be $15k/year, but I've never seen an example that high. My mom lives in Yucca Valley and has two or three Mello Roos items (water district, local community college, and something else), and I think maybe pays about $600 total for them.
>The public still has to search through garbage to find the truth. Now, though, some of it is much harder to access.

Why would YouTube want legally-enforced censorship? The existence of that would make more work for them and would open them up to liability.

YouTube is specifically pushing back at propaganda coming from the government here, so I don't know how it makes any sense to assert that it's evidence they really want to allow government propaganda.
1mg per lb of body weight is about what is required to “roll” for a very infrequent user. I personally think it is a pretty ideal drug to use no more than twice per yer with a partner, and you sure as hell don’t want a therapist in the room, as it would waste the physical intimacy effects.
So is running your own delivery service. And if a restaurant wanted their delivery service to be as good as Uber Eats or DoorDash it would be more expensive than Uber Eats or DoorDash.
> They have not joined as plaintiffs. They filed an amici brief. And it's actually 17. And reading the amici brief, they don't even attempt to justify why Texas has standing in the case, which is the biggest reason to dismiss the case.

You are correct, they are not plaintiffs, but a third of U.S. states are now in support of this action.

I would argue that if a U.S. state has made unconstitutional election changes and thus has conducted an unconstitutional election then other U.S. states not in violation of the constitution have standing to dispute the election results with federal implications in accordance with the 12th Amendment.

This is not totally unprecedented, however, as the Election of 1824 resulted in a contingent election where the candidate with the popular vote lost. [0]

> Amazon promoting its own brands isn't much different from a supermarket offering its own brand items. Apple isn't a monopoly in phones because of Android. And Google's search is so inherently tied to selling ads as a business model that separating them is a difficult argument -- plus search competitors are just a click away, as evidenced by how much Google pays Apple to be the default.

But these aren't the complaints being bade, at least not the ones in the lawsuits we know of so far. The Google lawsuit, for example, targets its practice of paying companies to make it the default search engine in order to maintain it's monopoly on search. It isn't seeking Google divest from its ad business.

That being said, there's no reason search can't be separated from the ad business.
But the screen flashes white, it looks non-native!

Most people take your view, but I would be very careful to claim that it's actually impossible to not have limits on freedoms. There are some who believe that the state should not exist at all; those types would not concede the ground that there exist any reasonable restrictions on fundamental natural rights.

How are you defining "freedoms" and "fundamental natural rights"? This sounds good in theory, but once you start enumerating what they are for the purposes of encoding them in law, or if not a law, then some form of social contract other than "might makes right", the counterexamples immediately flood in, and for good reason.
Sorry I'm going to have to call on this.

Until on-demand delivery companies like Doordash/Postmates came onto the scene, the vast majority of places I could have ordered delivery from were the standard fare of pizza, Chinese, Indian, and Thai food within a half mile radius from my home.

What this generation unlocked was the ability to pay someone to grab you House of Prime Rib on Van Ness and deliver it halfway across the city. The value add here was "quality from halfway across the city, not just restaurants within a tiny radius who had large enough margins to afford to keep a driver on payroll".

This also resulted in what we now see as the normalization of national fast food brands having a coordinated delivery offering.
True, but I don't think that lodging is "something that never goes on the market". In this example, the mortgage or rental payments for an equivalent property would be pretty straightforward to determine.
What Is SRE (Site Reliability Engineering?)
Could it be that, rather than the death of a particular variety of open source ("Open Core"), that the author has in fact described yet another open source business model? One that specifically extends Open Core?

Consider:

- Company releases the Secret Sauce as open source under a highly permissive (non-reciprocal) license

- Secret Sauce coalesces a large, engaged community around it

- Company pays the bills with support, consulting, and other complementary products/services as it bootstraps itself

- Company releases v2 under a traditional non-open license

Everyone profits from this arrangement, potentially. Small users get good, free software to bootstrap projects. Big companies build stuff on top. And in the end, Company takes a portion of the open source audience with it into v2.

Finding that audience and getting them to pay attention is not easy at all. Think of Open Core as the car that gets you there, to borrow a quote from "The Comeback."
> The evidence was tenuous and circumstantial at best.

The evidence and conclusions were provided by more than a dozen US agencies, as well as from a bi-partisan investigation conducted in the Senate.

> The democrats were claiming fraud

"Fraud" is a strong word, especially when the Democratic candidate literally came out the same night as conceded. Sure, Russia influenced the election, I don't remember countless law suits after the election trying to change the will of the people.

> There is no "buts" regarding freedom

You say that, but Republicans are very much in favor of denying people their right to bear arms because of "buts".
I've been working from a different city every month for the last few months. It's a good way to do slow travel.
It’s simply amazing how allowing to build 50 high rise condos would bring the entire bubble down but the CA (or most American) cities or the state won’t. It will obviously fail on the ballot due to NIMBYism but I’m not sure why would that even need to be on ballot.

Blocking domains works right now but what if Facebook register a new domain? Or a thousand new domains? Or they proxy traffic through a site owner's domain? What's needed is a way to block Facebook's privacy invasion regardless of the tech they use. That is unlikely to be a problem solved by tech. It needs enough people, including governments, to tell Facebook they're unhappy with Facebook's activity.
> People give Facebook their access willingly and they know what information they input into Facebook.
I don't think this is true.
Facebook tracks your activity all over the web on thousands of third-party sites and builds a unique profile to identify you, without regard for you having an account. You can't opt out of this if you don't have a Facebook account.

Some of these "social graph" features will do things like link two people as friend suggestions if they both have your phone number in their contacts book, even if you haven't consented to Facebook building up some information about you.

This doesn't sound like willing access & knowledge of what information you provide to Facebook.

On the other hand, bitmaps stored in planar form were supported by many hardware systems in the time frame of the article(the Amiga, for one, used a planar scheme). This did allow for bitdepths other than powers of 2 with the requirement of resolutions being multiples of a byte or word(so, 8 or 16). This is particularly useful when considering overall asset storage constraints - 8 colors(3bpp) is often plenty for small sprites.
Everyone is different. The appeal for me is that I know RHEL really well because of work, so for personal use CentOS is awesome (I can use all my expertise).

I have a few personal prod machines (my home router, a few personal website servers) that I need to run and I don't need support for them, and I can't afford a couple grand a year to pay for them nor would I. I'd just use something else.

That said CentOS Stream will likely be fine for me. I think RH bungled the news badly, but overall Cent is still pretty much fine. It's going to be way, way more stable than Fedora, and even Fedora wouldn't be all that bad in prod (I know because like a crazy man, I run Fedora in prod sometimes when I need fresh packages). Personally, I'm mostly upset about how this went down, not so much the outcome.

The point is that even good restaurants operate on margins that can't afford places like doordash to take 10-20%. Diners expect what's offered to them in the market, and if doordash is offering me your restaurant quality food delivered to my door for $2 then that's the value. It doesn't matter to the customer that it's the result of several billion dollars of venture capital with the expectation that to make that investment worth while the entire western world would need to become indentured servants.
The dichotomy between this massive IPO making the founding team and investors rich and local restaurants shuttering in record numbers (partly due to losing 25% off the top to DD with no other options) is startling.
