You really are making clear you have NEVER worked in poverty relief issues or traveled internationally.

It's kind of horrifying. Do you realize that 20%+ of children are so badly nourished they are stunted? The impacts this will have on their entire life and development?

Not everyone country is your well developed western country where the state provides food to everyone.

This is kind of scary to see on HN - programmers should really travel more (I'm a dual citizen with pretty extensive travel AND WORK in much much poorer areas).

"Apple for effectively funding that [starvation or bust] environment".

Heads up. Apple is one of the FEW western companies to actually cut off chinese suppliers for violating supply chain codes ($ lost, not just lipservice). I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of apple funding child exploitation. You are probably buying chinese made goods including those made with essentially forced labor. Do you not understand the situation in these countries? That US and European countries CONTINUE to sign new trade deals despite horrific labor and other abuses?

In all likelihood Apple factories, and even the factories of third party suppliers working for them, are probably one the least likely (not most) factories in china to be employing child labor as a result of apples efforts.

I haven't read the papers cited in this article, but I agree that as presented in the paper, they're awfully short-term.

Without the knowledge of whether these trends continue into the long-term, these (small-percentage) dips in rent could be caused by any number of factors ranging from the decrease of rent caused by the recent construction of the buildings to the more abstract uncertainty of what changes in neighborhood composition an influx of people lured by a high-rise might cause.

Like I said, maybe that sort of thing is addressed in the papers, but as presented it isn't addressed outside of that comment about arson.
I wonder if you could grow lettuce within a refrigerator and drop temperature as a means of preventing bolting and to extend lifetime. Could both be better than sum of either individually?
> his double-speak

I'm sorry but you're no mind reader. How do you know he meant something else? There is absolutely nothing to that effect, this is the kind of "signs" that the QMorons base their crackpot theories on.

> the fact that he has been stirring his crowd to act on the 'steal' is not inconsequential

No, "stirring a crowd" is by no means incitement to anything. And accusing someone with broad accusations because what he did was "not inconsequential" is just very Kafkaesque.

> It seems unlikely that he would not have been briefed on the plots

You worked at WH? No? Well it "seems unlikely" that you don't know what kind of briefings make their way to the office of the President.

> He has a large responsibility in inciting the level of denial that have led to his supporters to intimidate or threaten officials, many from his own party no less.

"inciting a level of denial", what does that even mean? This feels like I'm reading what a neural network trained on Twitter headlines would spew on.

There should be some ability to more easily disseminate the fact that they have said factually incorrect things, or some mechanism that broadly communicates the correct facts. Or maybe call them back to live TV and have someone actually confront them with the verifiable information.

Hypothetical question: If Microsoft wanted to port Windows to the M1 (as Phil Schiller said was their choice), would you expect Microsoft to have to reverse engineer everything? Or would Apple share documentation and expertise, under the logic that Windows support will increase Mac hardware sales, if only a small amount?

I realize that Marcan isn't Microsoft—but he's not quite "a random guy with a Patreon" either. He's a professional freelancer, and I'm sure he has an LLC† and a set of professional references he can point to.

Put another way—on a scale between "Marcan" and "Microsoft", where is the threshold in which Apple would be helpful? I don't personally see a huge difference between a one-person LLC and a 100,000-person company in this regard. If anything, the 100,000 person company offers more opportunities for things to get leaked.

In a number of places I've lived, the "progressive left" is always blamed for NIMBY behaviors, whatever the nature of the the actual people involved.

I recall a specific article complaining about "leftist opposition" from residents of a gated community in a Republican-run city.

People look at the world and see their preconceptions.

New development lowers overall housing prices in the surrounding area, but forces the people who live in the affected neighborhood to relocate, either directly or because they're priced out of the neighborhood by gentrification. It's entirely rational that the people affected by this would be against it - they get no benefit and have to pay relocation expenses and uproot their lives. The beneficiaries are the new occupants, the developers, and the landlords.

Which means far left NIMBYs have always been strange to me. The far left already rejects landlords and rent. The problem goes away if you remove rent from the equation, because the owner/tenants of a building get to decide whether to sell it for redevelopment, and get to capture the sale value if they do. So if there's already a solution embedded in your ideology, why go out of your way to blame the concept of development itself?
What we need is people to be properly incentivized to win whilst arguing the opposing view. From this exercise you will come to understand your opponents view perfectly.

But its a difficult exercise to do without the proper incentive. You can't just say "congrats you won...because the side you had is right". You have to want to win. You would be forced to empathize with the other's situation.

For me, lack of understanding of the other side's argument is the biggest problem with discourse today.

> I have also lived in rent controlled areas where, even as a renter, these worries go away.

This is very selfish thinking. What if the whole city was rent controlled? Economy and population would stagnate. You want to have the benefit of living in a small privileged rent controlled pocket, while the rest of the city stays alive and vibrant due to free market economy.
In this context, Cloudflare is the Subscriber:

1.6.1 Definitions

Applicant: The natural person or Legal Entity that applies for (or seeks renewal of) a
Certificate. Once the Certificate issues, the Applicant is referred to as the Subscriber. For Certificates issued to devices, the Applicant is the entity that controls or operates the device named in the Certificate, even if the device is sending the actual certificate request.

Subscriber: A natural person or Legal Entity to whom a Certificate is issued and who is
legally bound by a Subscriber Agreement or Terms of Use.

Subscriber Agreement: An agreement between the CA and the Applicant/Subscriber that
specifies the rights and responsibilities of the parties.

Sure, Cloudflare certainly can request in writing from the CA to revoke the certificate - but in this case the problem was that they did not, right? Your best bet would be to email DigiCert directly under BR 4.9.2 (Who can requst revocation) at revoke@digicert.com [0], citing termination of the contract between you as the Domain Name Registrant and the Subscriber (i.e. 4.9.1.1 pt 4 as mentioned in the parent comment).

> If you don't like Debian, pick an open source distribution that is not backed by a business and begin sending the money you would've dumped into subscriptions as donations.

How is that as useful to you personally as a support subscription? You can't replace a support contract with wishful thinking and a donation.

It's great to support open source projects, but lets not mix concerns here.
Wrong! The data caps and high internet costs are pushed onto the public because someone has to pay the ISPs. If Net Neutrality was repealed, Google, Netflix etc. would largely pay for it and the public wouldn't have to pay for it. You could argue that this would mean these companies would factor in the cost in the services they provide anyway, but it would open the market to more decentralized internet, which would be better for everyone.

Net Neutrality is what keeps the internet favorable to large internet corporations... and the lobbies and special interest groups and all of these corporations put out so much propaganda when it comes to this discussion.

Imagine if people and large corporate entities had to pay the same amount of tax regardless of how much they made, and everyone called it "financial equality". That'd be retarded... and so is this.
Ask HN: How have some of you gone beyond programming?
So every time I see a cool physical piece of technology on the front page like that ultraleap haptics thing I see I get kind of morose.

I love programming and I've been writing code since I was very young and I love the power it has and the ability to seemingly create something from nothing.

However the things I create don't interact with the physical world or have the same sense of permanence as say a robot or a haptics system. They're effectively ephemeral, relatively speaking.

Has anyone picked up like electrical engineering or mechanical engineering type projects on the side and how did you break out of only programming into that more physical space?
I developed my first macOS app in November of 2019 because I needed a Safari extension to automatically refresh my browser tabs. After a few months, and a few hundred downloads, I decided to publish it on the App Store and charge a few bucks.

RedHat seems to forget the for the majority of CentOS users STABLITY was the driving factor in the choice to use CentOS.

FP is relatively convenient for metaprogramming, yes. GADTs and tagless-final encodings (or as I think of them, Church-encoded ASTs) are especially useful for this.

But it wouldn't be a big difference if the host language was heavily imperative, so long as it favors immutable data structures. The FP aspect for this exploration of DSLs is much more social and cultural than technical.

I think that if we really want to decouple AST from evaluation context, the main tool we'd need is to deconflate module 'import' into separate steps to 'load' a module's AST and 'integrate' definitions, allowing for intermediate processing. This requires some host language changes, elimination of module-global state, etc..
Seems like the best idea would just be to try to plop the new plant next-door to the existing plant, then (and to keep doing that.) Would make the logistics of sourcing the same "everything" a lot simpler.

Intuitively, I'd expect that fabs would plan for this in advance, ensuring that 1. everything they buy, they have ways to get N of the exact same of that thing down the line — the same way that NASA missions contract to ensure they can get precisely-specced replacement parts decades down the line; and 2. that they build their first plant for a given process node in a huge empty expanse of land (much larger than what Plant No. 1 needs) where they either buy all that land ahead of time, or at least have a contract with the municipality to retain right-of-first-refusal on purchases of that land.

Cars, roads, and parking have bumped up against hard limits. There's no way to expand a lane of traffic to more than 2000 cars per hour and people generally resist multipliers like buses and subways unless driving is already painful.

Broadband has expanded several orders of magnitude. There's still the ransition from copper to fiber, from 1G to 10G, and multiple wavelengths.
> We’re all familiar by now with Right-NIMBYs — conservatives who block transit and housing development in order to keep poor people and minorities out of their quiet white-flight suburban neighborhoods. These are still the most common kind, given that Republicans tend to value low-density communities while Democrats tend to value denser, more walkable places.

That premise is not only a vulgar generalization but it's not even true generally. Blue states and especially deep Blue counties are the worse when it comes to income and social inequality. If you need to convince yourself, look at a map of counties by party with color gradient and compare it with a heat map of any metric of income equality.

And anyone who lived in big urban centers, nearly all blue, will tell you that they're the worse when it comes give permission to build new housing and businesses. The "conservative white flight" is a Boomer meme at this point.

I'd think that it's also important to have a component that quantifies the lifetime of a technologically advanced civilization, as the universe isn't just separated by space, but also by vast expanses of time as well.

I'm not belittling your example, just trying pointing out that when speculating in this area, it's useful to include a time component related to civilizations as well as an individual lifetime component.
> Guess what - you're not owed anything.

"Settlement" is part of what happened. It was a war of extermination with scorched earth tactics with the purpose of acquiring land. It was also ethnic cleansing, otherwise today you would have Native American neighbors, or relatives of Native American ancestry, or at least a significant portion of the people you met in school or at work would be Native Americans... but I bet none of that is the case for you. I wonder why that is?

Why do you think it is more likely for you to meet someone of an obscure country in Oceania than for you to meet a Native American?

How many Native American languages can you speak, or even name? Do you know any speakers of Native American languages? Do you own a Native American language dictionary? No. None of that. Why do you think that is possible in a continent that is full of Native Americans at some point? There's a reason for it.

Because they were exterminated, that's why. Cut the bullshit. Be a man and own your history, don't be a coward.

So you're saying he was never in China? He literally fled to Hong Kong first. So again, what did I state that was a lie?

I didn't say he wanted to be there, but he clearly wanted to be in Hong Kong, then move on... and ended up in Russia? Again, what part of this is false?

Did you know him? I did, he's a fucking tool. The information leaked was piecemeal. Take the bible, leak random pages and one will say live a joyous life, love each other.. where a different page might tell you to sacrifice your only child. Unless you've been privy to all of the information at the right scale, you've been sold a piece, a piece that paints a narrative.

Context matters: It's a very different dynamic, depending on who approaches whom.

If the venue owner does the approaching (as in the context of the post raising this sub-thread) like Apple, Microsoft or Google approaching extension developers) it's questionable.

If the musician (or the extensions developer) approaches the venue owner, it's an entirely different story.

One has exploitation written all over it, the other not so much.

The context of the great-great-...-parent post suggests the exploitative version.

> results in the construction of “luxury” housing instead of “affordable” housing

I'm really hung up on the quotes here. Isn't this because the market rate is currently distorted by the preexisting lack of supply though? So a developer isn't actually building 'reasonable' apartments with a level of furnish that is 'affordable', they've got granite (sorry quartz, granite is out!) countertops and heated tile floors because they can capture more rent than the cost that way?

I'm curious to what extent this is due to market distortion via governmental policies, or just developers/capitalism 'spying' a neighborhood near the end of it's natural lifecycle.
> My neighborhood did not stop changing when I moved in. I don't see why it should stop because someone else moved in.

This is true, but that doesn't strictly imply that you have no participation in how it changes. The way a neighborhood changes is the sum of all of the people exerting forces upon it. This is an iterative system that you are embedded in as well.

I think that is most people's motive though and it can be mutually beneficial. I think there is an innate satisfaction in acquiring new knowledge or a new perspective. And the applications of this can be very wide-reaching.
