PS: In at least one place, try to optimize for how you live, not just where. As an example, is life significantly better if you live within walking distance of water? Walking distance of water and retail? Maybe that’s only feasible in a smaller city, but at least you’d know what it’s like to live that way.

Running power -- even just 13A power -- to every parking bay, not to mention ensuring those "simple domestic sockets" are safe to use in all weather conditions, will probably make this quite a bit more expensive than you think.
It's almost as if capitalism requires outcomes which are exploitative. Whether that is the labor force, the environment, minority populations, civil society, population health.

It’s an article of economic faith that private parties will always, by definition, provide superior outcomes with reduced costs.
> further agitate the productive people by taxing them

The people that were most important and productive during the pandemic are the ones on the front-line in healthcare and essential services. We have relied on them potentially exposing themselves in order to keep society going.

On the other hand, your so called “productive people” are sitting on their hands at home watching their assets massively gain in value.

The wealth divide is already accelerating, and the crisis is making it worse. I don’t think we should worry about “agitating” a small percentage of people whom our society seems to undeservedly elevate to god status.

I'm still eagerly awaiting explanation on how this is going to work with terraced houses where there's about 40 houses on each side and people park how and where they want, and most importantly where the local council barely has enough money to fix the worst potholes. But suddenly they are going to dig up a 300 year old street to put down enough cabling and charging points for every car. My question is "with what money".
The problem is that the legislation above does nothing against the kind of corruption you mentioned, because it is well supported in US legislation. For example, lobbying is nothing more than legalized corruption.
It includes:

But you were a customer of the gas pump during that visit/session, so that example doesn’t apply. It would only apply if you used the pump area for parking, when other non-pump spaces were available, and you did not purchase fuel.
I will be first in line to cynically complain about inappropriate topics on HN, but why do you think this particular post is irrelevant?

Software culture is partly hacker culture, and Facebook is probably one of the most visible showcases of this culture - and therefore somewhat worthy of discussion on HackerNews, wouldn't you agree?
Yeah, innocent people hiding from the police isn't the right solution.
The story here is an example of how electric vehicle charging happens. Dedicated charging spaces all over the place instead of service stations.

As long as the percentage of spaces roughly corresponds to the percentage of electric vehicles, it shouldn't be real disruptive.
When I Supercharge, I get a push notification that idle fees start ($1/minute) 5 minutes after the charge completes.

SharePoint Server is an absolute beast with a bunch of legacy code yet it has no issues being responsive as soon as it JITs (which can take ~30 second so or so after an App Pool startup).

SPO is also responsive (the last thing to load is typically the SuiteNav which doesn't impact working with the site/content).

I'm not sure why a company like Atlassian would have these persistent performance issues.
Can confirm this; we've gotten more than 20 reports and demands for bounties for "public access" on our open data subdomain (backed by S3), which literally is `public.`.

Then they beg to have the report closed as "informative". We don't comply unless it really is an honest mistake; I don't like the idea of low-quality reporters evading consequences again and again, sending scattershot bug reports in a desperate attempt to catch a team not paying attention.

I’m pretty sure the parent knows that MacOS doesn’t support “true retina” at 4K 27” (at a reasonable size). The way MacOS handles resolution (that’s not perfect 1x or 2x scaling) is by rendering at twice the resolution you selected in settings and then downscaling to the true resolution of the monitor. So if you want to render at 1440p you render at 5k then downscale to 4K. What I believe the parent was trying to get across is that 5k downscaled to 4K looks better than true 1440p. Although it does tax the GPU more, many people would agree it’s worth it over 1440p.
Thats coming from the opposite direction. Around here, heating is necessary to get up to 18°C. Aircon to get down from warm temperatures in summer is uncommon, usually it doesn't rise above 30°C outside.
Not to mention that Portugal has a nationalised healthcare system. I think I'd rather have 430 Eur + nationalised healthcare than $1260 and have to pay out of pocket (or deal with years of paperwork and insurance claims)
A seemingly mysterious (but probably trivial) feature of our universe is that there's only one kind of reasoning. There's no special 'anti-conspiracy' method of reasoning, nor any other special-puprose method.

Likewise, there's only one way a theory can be wrong. No theory has ever been wrong because it was a conspiracy theory.

What's actually being discussed here is how to make other people believe (or claim to believe) something. That's fine, as long as it's not muddled with how the truth is discerned.
I don't get why they don't simply use the US dollar at this point.

>> What happens when/if there are huge numbers of EV's?

The strange thing is that there is a model for this already. I live in a rather cold part of Canada. My apartment block has AC outlets for each parking spot. So too does my work, and all local hotels. These are meant to power block heaters, something that doesn't really exist in the UK, but in recent years some people have been using them to charge their EV/hybrids. The charging rates are very low but the ubiquity of the outlets make them relevant. Having very small/cheap charging points on literally every parking spot might be the better approach than a few dedicated high capacity "charge bays". These outlets are dirt cheap to install. No IP issues, no electronics, no networks. Just an outlet and a circuit breaker.

(These are also all free to use. Administering a payment system for each outlet would cost more than the power.)
The opening and closing lines are "real conspiracies do exist". Because of that, I didn't feel like the article claims that "people in power never do wrong".
> I don’t think it has to be an a or b situation. I think the best and brightest could solve the problem without decimating their profits.

I hope you're right! But so far, it appears no one at Facebook has figured out how to escape this "tyranny of horrible choices."

> I think the problem partially is maximizing revenue at the cost of everything else.

I disagree. I think the problem, from the perspective of Facebook, is figuring out how to do The Right Thing while remaining relevant and competitive against the many companies trying to dislodge Facebook from its dominant position. Many of Facebook's users are addicted to the social-media-crack; if Facebook stops providing it, they will migrate to other social networks that provide it. And many of Facebook's customers -- advertisers and propagandists -- want Facebook to continue to modify user behavior on their behalf; and if Facebook stops doing that, those customers will migrate to the competition.
You were definitely lucky. I've driven through Germany last summer and I couldn't find a single charger that worked, every single one required an app, one wouldn't accept my non-german card, second one didn't have a menu in English so I didn't know how to set it up, third one gave me an "unspecified error" and told me to ring their helpline, but upon calling them discovered they are closed on Sunday. So in the end I didn't charge in Germany at all.
> This is something; just not "money".

It's a store of value. From what I gather, people are using it to protect their money against inflation.

Interesting the leaning into distressing states seems really scary if there is no way to correct the underlying problem. One of my disabled friends had a bad trip around the fact that he lost a leg and there was no way to correct that problem so he remained severely depressed for at least a year after the trip. He used to be a pretty bubbly guy before then.

I am mainlander Chinese diaspora and this is such a reductionist portrait of the variety of opinions held by emigrants from China about the CCP, which can differ dramatically depending on when you emigrated, what age you are, what part of the country you are from, whether you are religious, your own specific family history, and who is currently in power in China.

There is also quite a bit of dissonance and public vs. private attitudes that you have to sort through. The mainstream and tolerated view in mainland china is that the cultural revolution was a huge mistake - there are way too many families that were fucked up by it - but Mao was still a great guy.

It's simpler than that ZIRP simply means the only way to find yield is in assets i.e. to fulfill fiduciary obligations i.e. pensions you have to go further out on the risk curve to produce that yield e.g. buy equities. The equation is simply one of risk adjusted return relative to sharpe and there's currently no yield in US debt.

I don't think he literally meant don't use debt as a vehicle; that's not really how government finances work IIUC. The suggestion is tying a funding source to new spending instead of taking on an unfunded liability. Carrying a year of interest at current rates is irrelevant.

> My personal opposition about systemd is about binary logs

syslog-ng supports the systemd journal natively so you'd never see a difference from before if you don't want to.

> doing against "doing one thing, well" principle

The principle is dogma that has held back Unix imo. It's useful for simple CLIs but that is about it. By your definition the kernel itself goes against the principle.

systemd is a systems manager, it takes care of it during its entire lifecycle, keeping home directories portable is one thing it can do for you that is entirely optional but very useful, managing containers is another. These are however separate components - homed and systemd-nspawn respectively. It is not all rolled into a single 'systemd', this is a misrepresentation.

systemd is very modular. People like to paint it as a monolith because it lives in a monorepo for the most part, but it is not actually built as one and individual components can be disabled or swapped out.

Your original point says that they are looking to change for the benefit of mankind...

They aren't. They have no sincerity. They will do what makes money. Period.

They have shown time and again they don't give two fucks about humanity, mental health, regulators etc until they are about to generate bad PR from it.

The government seems to be aiming at them right now although I suspect that once the brown envelopes stuffed with cash start passing around that will be diluted down to "honest gov, we'll start doing right!".

Their clock is about to be cleaned by Apple when they roll out the changes to apps requiring them to tell people the data that's being harvested... Facebook will quite rightly be worried right now.

If Google did the same... well, we'd see some folks bailing quick-sharp I reckon... rats and sinking ships and all that.
While we're on the topic of WSL2 causing issues, I will add one that I noted to the pile. If you have WSL2 installed then the first bash on PATH is the WSL2 version of bash. For whatever reason, this version of bash has a major impedance mismatch with Emacs and org-mode. From windows native Emacs (not an Emacs installed in WSL2) if you try to run an org babel block that contains bash code, whole commands will simply be ignored. The end result is that if you blindly execute bash blocks in Emacs on windows without checking which bash is being used there can be disastrous results because a seemingly safe script like `pushd some-folder; rm -r ; popd` suddenly becomes `rm -r ` without warning. I'm guessing that it has to do with mismatched line endings since mingw bash (aka git bash) doesn't have these issues. Also, you can't rely on the ordering of your PATH environment variable to protect you because updates can change it.

tl;dr WSL2 bash is not bash but it pretends to be and there are terrifying changes to the semantics of bash scripts as a result.

Hi ratww,

Thank you for reiterating this point, and I'll try to shed some light on this. We actually are working on systemic changes to try to make this lighter/better but I can't talk about specifics until the feature is available.

On the other hand, any level of specificity is great, for example:
1) full page loads are slower and more annoying than Transitions (or, vice versa)
2) loading Home page is slower and more annoying than Search Results (or, vice versa)
3) waiting for the editor to load is more annoying than X/Y/Z
4) etc....

Even systemic changes require individual work for applying to these different views, so any level of specific feedback would be helpful.

(also it looks like HN is limiting my reply rate so apologies for any slowness)
If you believe that inflation is actually much higher than is generally believed by the public/markets you shouldn't care so much about mortgage payments > 10 years from now on a loan with fixed payments.

The huge inflation you expect will mean the real cost of these payments dwindle in size so they will matter very little to you.

No knowledge is going to be acquired that way.

It's a manager who has decided understanding the nature of the work is beneath him, when he can deploy someone else's money to wind up some insects that will run around doing the work for him and watch them struggle against each other. Literally zero knowledge, before, during and after.

When whatever result appears they will not analyze the meaning of what happened beyond punishing some insects and rewarding others.
