I guess that makes sense. I still haven't seen many using the DFS frequencies though. Presumably because they don't want to deal with testing related to avoiding radar.

In my area every channel is saturated except for DFS.
I guess I'm just not sensitive to terrible UI. Seems ok to me, particularly for uncommonly accessed recovery dialogs.

People make a big deal about UI changes between MacOS versions ("Oh god, now there are flat, rounded icons!" or whatever) and I suspect most users don't even notice anything's different at all.
Yeah, I tend to forget that anti-communism was so strong and so reflexive a tenet of US foreign policy that they were willing to support the Khmer Rouge on that basis.

(I'm not attempting to say that people were making corrupt decisions, I'm sure they were trying to do their best. What I'm attempting to say is that "providing advanced technology to people whose values are entirely contrary to yours" is not only in retrospect stupid, but should have been notably stupid at the time as well.)
If others - such as Facebook Inc. - didn't already trademark it in agriculture and export, and you are prepared to defend it then sure.
I fucked my credit in Germany because cell phone plans and fixed line DSL contract term commitments auto-renew for another 24 months automatically and have to be cancelled in writing.

I sent them cancellations, but it only works if you send the cancellation in the last 90 days (or something) of the 24 months. Miss the window and you're on the hook for 24 more payments.

It's the most customer-hostile experience I have ever had with a company in the global west.

I decided it was easier to just let them try to collect, and stopped the autodebit to them.

Well 6PN’s are effectively VPCs and within-org ACLs could be analogous to security groups - not every app within an org needs to be able to talk to every other app, though there are not clear “islands” of communication within the graph so using separate orgs for distinct communities of apps isnt a tenable strategy. Segmenting the bottom 48 bits into app Id / app instance Id and then doing more shenanigans at the wg routing layer would provide you with some of this functionality. This is something I am thinking about for my employer (Netflix) which does not offer a public PaaS, but is also trying to scale and secure a big flat network.

I do believe that the dual goals of network identity and scalability are difficult to solve for simultaneously (in the old world, we relied on subnets, but this is the opposite of multi-tenant container hosts..) so i think we want to have simple physical networks with routing and then some other means of trusted network identity, which leads you to crypto-derived solutions (really, it seems like wg and IPSec are the biggest contenders here and both have pros and cons)

Anyway, seeing your post was validating about this line of reasoning and I am curious to follow along to see how you are thinking about it more.
They are likely using GreyShift or Cellbrites UFED or similar products. Most of them leverage exploits in the phone that are usable on the lock screen to either enable you to bypass the lock screen or to allow you to have unlimited password guesses then brute force the password.

> That $40k home isn’t so cheap when you make $13k and interest rates were 11-15%

-However, if interest is at 11-15%, chances are inflation was in the high single digits - so as long as wages stayed reasonably level (in real terms), you weren't too bad off.

(In 80s Norway, my parents paid nigh on 20% interest on their home loan - but inflation hovered around the 10-12% mark and you got a 100% tax deduction for interest payments, making debt a good deal for a lot of people. Hence, people borrowed more money than ever before as credit was effectively free. Stop me if you've heard this one before.)

In the last 10-15 years ACLU has moved away from being politically neutral (and has publicly stated so), so one might easily see this action as an attempt to undermine the government's capabilities rather than to legitimately protect the freedoms of Americans.
Humm.. If they endanger citizens, yes.
I don't really view the skill vs luck as a "moral" question. In the end, everything is luck - we're a product of our genes and our environment.

What you do want to ask is what the proper incentives need to be to have a functional society. Fundamentally, we're just trying to define some social utility function and maximizing it.. but even ignoring political problems, it's hard to understand how wealth transfers (or any equity improving policy) alter incentives, potentially leaving society worse off if done wrong.
What's the intended use case? Is it supposed to be "a better F#, for the JVM"?
The distinction between environment and organism here seems a little arbitrary. The organism’s cells have membranes, but they’re permeable and the organism can’t do its job without an interaction between itself and the environment. Even with the energy stored inside, it requires warmth and atmospheric pressure. I suspect there are any number of counter examples of life forms that challenge the simplicity of this formulation. You could just as easily argue that each cell is a life form unto itself, right?

This article misses the point in that these companies have taken _active_ anticompetitive actions to intentionally crush competition; and not simply out-compete it.

This is like Microsoft adding charts to Office, and then banning anyone from installing competing chart apps on Windows unless they pay a 30% tax. Or Ford voiding your entire warranty if you install aftermarket lights (this has been clearly ruled illegal).

The simple fact that these platforms started out with these anticompetitive restrictions (because they’re smart and play the long game) doesn’t change that these are active anticompetitive actions.

Saurik’s lawsuit highlighting Apple adding contractual restrictions, preventing App Store developers from publishing on Cydia, should be a slam dunk case.

A perfectly legitimate example of bundling is Sherlock/Finder: Apple added a feature, Sherlock wasn't limited in any way.

An illegitimate example is Screen Time: when Apple added the feature, they went on a delisting spree banning any other parental control apps.
Except when it comes to gov't controlled inflation.
In the posted article I wrote:

> when developers choose complex software such as React or Rails to build simple websites, I cringe at the violation of Rule of Least Power

Just now I read through 400+ comments on "Hotwire: HTML over the Wire" (top of the HN leaderboard today). I'm sure Hotwire may be very useful for a narrow use case. And I have deep respect for DHH and his contributions to the building the web. But like most recent web technology, Hotwire is another case of misaligned priorities.

I wrote another article Beyond Rails [0] recently. Some of the key points

- Rails became popular 10 years ago because it allowed us to quickly build MVPs with just 2 or 3 developers

- software development has gotten far more complex, often needlessly

- software development has become needlessly specialized

- organizations have become dependent on revenue models that support large teams

- startups need more people and money than ever before

- the technologies we choose to build web applications influence more than just software architecture, they shape the nature of society

- we need to build with web standards that make websites simpler and easier to build and maintain

Out of those 400 comments, did anyone say, stop this madness? What are the technologies that are going to get us back to building MVPs with 2-3 people? Because the original vision of the web focused on simplicity and empowerment.

> why folks running real businesses love Rackspace

That may have been true when Rackspace were competent.

However, that was years ago, prior to them being acquired by a private equity firm.

No-one in their right mind should use Rackspace these days, under any circumstances.
I see this applies even moreso with the cryptocurrency fanboys on HN that feel that their newfound wealth (on paper) makes them paragons of financial wisdom and success, spawning serious Dunning-Kruger effects. I would argue the cryptocurrency crowd is even more driven by stupid luck than anything else.

I wish they saw it primarily as an unregulated online casino and less of a serious replacement for M1 money supply, which it certainly isn't.
They all cater a different need. I donated few laptops to a school in India. These were some of the cheapest models Lenovo had to offer. Lenovo Dell etc. cater to a much wider range of market that apple does not even bother to target. You are basically comparing Tesla with Camry and upset that Camry is not as good.

On other hand Lenovo X1 carbon is a pretty solid high end laptop along with LG gram. Former specifically is far more customizable, repairable, upgradable and also around 30% cheap while being more powerful.
True.

Unfortunately, homicide rates in some U.S. cities are nearing (and in some cases eclipsing) their early 90s highs. As I often do, I’ll use St. Louis as an example here, because it’s the city I happen to be most familiar with, but this is happening all over. I completely bought the story you’re telling and never thought we’d ever see homicide rates matching the gang-war carnage of early 90s St. Louis, but we’re blowing past those rates, in fact.

That’s not to say the lead story is bunk, but, sadly, I don’t think you can draw the conclusion that those earlier rates were uniquely aberrant.

Edit to add this link: https://www.vox.com/2020/8/3/21334149/murders-crime-shooting...

Don’t get too focused on St. Louis, in other words; as I said, homicide rates are up all over the country.

>>> I always like to say that we live in an exponential meritocracy, where your accumulated merit enhances your ability to accumulate more merit, eventually resulting in a small minority rapidly pulling ahead of the pack. Goes with the old adage: turning $100 into $120 is work; turning $100 million into $120 million is inevitable. Perhaps we need a linear meritocratic function.

>> So basically, some way to prevent wealth from being passed across generations?

> Neither Gates, nor Jobs, nor Zuckerberg, nor Bezos, nor Musk inherited their billions. At best they inherited access to the social circles of their parents, and maybe paid-for education (too lazy to check). Knowing the right people is not something you can, or want, to limit or forbid.

But, there are others who did. For instance, just off the top of my head: the Koch brothers, who combined inherited wealth with extensive political activism.

Also, the fortunes of most "self-made" meritocrats can be traced to building exponentially on some elite inherited opportunity, then that kneecaps a lot of the moral reasoning used to justify that those people deserve full control of those fortunes (and thus shouldn't be subjected to heavy taxes).

I don't see how being a startup justifies making cancellation incredibly difficult. Whether it's a giant "extracting every penny", or a startup "trying to survive", it's just editorialization. They made it difficult, so less customers would cancel. Less customers cancel, more money retained.

I'm okay with an optional questionnaire, and I often fill them out when I cancel a service. But if it wants me to call to cancel, and especially if it deliberately makes the call longer and unbearable, I have all the reasons to be angry about it. I don't care if it's a struggling startup. A startup is an organization, not an actual life; I'm not going to pity it.

Obviously, an optional questionnaire is not as effective as forcing a call onto the customer. But it's the right thing to do.
I agree with your comment mostly but just to note that it is no longer complicated to center things.

.centered {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}

Indeed there are two (at least) more ways to both horizontally and vertically center something (using CSS Grid and the good old translate(-50%, -50%)) and with flex I always have a hard time remembering if it is justify-items or justify-content..

While the lead theory may indeed be true, one other thing has changed in almost all areas of the world.

Birth rates.

And with declining birth rates, comes a decline in the number of youth, meaning "more of the population" is of an older age. Men are typically at their most aggressive when young adults, and those which have started families, have a different perspective on life.

Note: not saying the above is the cause, but I do believe it to be a valid theory.

edit: it is also plausible that multiple things cause one effect.
Covid-19: 'Living with 50 people has been a blessing'
I've been booting Linux regularly from an external SSD since ~2016. This was after I encountered the same bs you did with it installed in an internal drive: I think I lost data when OS X upgrades first introduced logical partition containers in anticipation of APFS, and again when APFS was introduced.

Starting this year I no longer use Apple devices, since everything work-related I do in Linux.
The problem is that $12/hr is still "in poverty". You've set up a false dichotomy between everyone out of poverty vs most farther out of poverty, but some still in poverty.

There's literally nowhere in the US where a single minimum wage job can rent and "affordable" (defined as <-30% income) two bedroom apartment [1]. And it's not even a close thing like two incomes could afford that. The calculation is that you'd need to work 127 hours per week at minimum wage for an affordable two bedroom apartment.

And it gets even worse in expensive metro areas. The poverty line in san francisco is $117,000 for a family of 4 and $82,000 for an individual. Meanwhile minimum wage in SF is $33,425.6 per year (16.07 * 40 * 52).

It has some funnny side-effects: If you manage to land a job there, you'll get paid under the same scheme as public servants, which means that e.g. if you're a camera man you earn as much as a doctor at a public clinic as long as you have a university degree.

The fun part comes when public broadcasters produce segments with a political slant towards anti-capitalism or towards poor people voting populist – and you know that each member of the film crew makes more than 90% of German households.

Old Hall Community:

There is no single ethos for living at Old Hall – beliefs are as diverse as the individuals living here. Generally however, we share a concern for the environment and a desire to live an egalitarian, co-operative and healthy lifestyle. We attempt to farm the land, rear our animals and grow our food as organically as we can. Decision making at all meetings is by consensus.
Unfortunately, this talking point (one I’ve put to good use over the last 20 years) is on shakier ground recently. Crime rates have have been rising for several years now in many U.S. cities and in some cases they’ve eclipsed the 90s highs.

I have had a Phillips one for ages and it does work pretty well. Its essentially an oven in terms of cooking (I think) but because its so small it heats up way faster so if you want to cook a single hash brown its the tool for the job.

If you have a net worth of a few hundred thousand dollars you can engage in "private banking" services with many major banks. You will be paired with a banker who can work as your advocate, bend internal rules, and cut down the amount of time required to deal with disputes. If your card happens to be issued by that bank, I would imagine they could assist with aspects of that.

If you have substantially more money than that then you can enlist financial professionals to legally act on your behalf and settle disputes for you.
