Some people see it as a symbol of oppression because Europe and North America look bigger.

I’m not sure why an oversized projection of Greenland is exploitive, but it garners attention from people interested in such things.
Okay, I love "scientific method LARP"! Granted it is a bit elitist but still, conveys a solid point. As a counter point, was Edward Jenner[1] a LARPer or a scientist? Follow up question, was his net contribution to science "big" or "small"?

No - I just don’t think Apple has the power to stop religious repression in Pakistan.

Despite being asked, you haven’t actually explained how they can do this.

Also, I ask again: do the people of Pakistan want Apple to abandon their customers in Pakistan?
I'd classify myself as a progressive and I don't see why every Bay Area city has to make some "contribution" to increased housing.

An acceptable approach would seem to be to have the "center" becoming more dense over time while the outer rings stay less dense.

The problem is that current geography has resulted in natural centers being the ones that refuse to build and that is problematic. Palo Alto and the rest are happy to have Facebook and etc's business but won't make room for Facebook employees.

And the apparently illogical behavior comes out of proposition 13's logic. Cities can tax businesses but property values are immune.

Which is to say that prop 13 needs to be repealed or annulled before any other sort of sanity is going to happen (and maybe that's not happened but, hey, there you go).
> But at the same time, these cities, like Palo Alto, are building office space left and right and welcoming businesses into town.

Because said cities cannot get enough tax money from property tax (blame Prop 13) so they need to get it from businesses. But then those businesses attract people in the area and then those people need a place to live in but they can't get a place because nobody has the incentive to sell when your tax rate is locked in (well, growing up to 2% per year), on the contrary, you don't want to sell and then buy somewhere else and have to pay more taxes than you were paying at the old place, even if the new place is much smaller.

One of the countless negative consequences of Prop 13.
When did Jefferson sour on the French Revolution? I know he helped the Marquis de Lafayette write The Declaration of the Rights of Man. Granted that was very early in the revolution, before it turned on the liberal nobles like Lafayette.

Fun fact I learned from the Revolutions podcast. Lafayette was imprisoned by the Austrians after trying to escape France through enemy lines. The US learned of his situation (this was during George Washington's presidency) and granted him back pay for his service during the revolutionary war. And that is how he survived those ~5 years in an Austrian prison.
And if you block the housing that would let these employees walk or bike to work, they'll have to drive in from out of town, increasing traffic (one of the primary arguments made against new housing).
Since when is even stealing anything excusable? Stealing $300 purse or $30000 car is exactly the same thing morally. The value of the item is in some ways orthogonal.

Theft should be punished in the strongest forms possible so no one even thinks about doing it. Minimum 1 year in prison for stealing anything.

Convince me otherwise.
Most of the time? People definitely want to stop gentrification in working class neighborhoods, but if you live in the Marina or Silicon Valley, there’s already been gentrification. Wealthy homeowners absolutely do block new housing in wealthy neighborhoods.
Clarification for anyone else not familiar with Bay Area geography: There are 101 cites included in this regional study.

There’s a lot of data here I think is stitched together in support of a presumption presented as a conclusion, but one question:

> According to estimates from the US Census, the Bay Area’s population grew by about 10% from 2010 to 2019 [...] Yet of the ten richest cities of the 101 cities in the Bay Area, not one of them grew faster than 5%.

By how much did the area’s population of the richest grow? That is, if it grew at a rate of 10%, did they move elsewhere? If 5% - is there any point to the rest of the article? If less, wouldn’t astronomical property value explain why poorer groups didn’t move to these specific areas?

As with so many political issues, this is about economic class - and the differences in characteristics between them:

> Because they made a mistake once, they should make it twice?

What I am saying is that you are suggesting an extraordinary measure. In the same way that banning all PCs is an extraordinary measure.

Such a measure would have wide reaching consequences, and large costs. Most governments are not completely irrational. They respond to incentives, and if something is very difficult to do, then they are going to be less likely to do it.

And making all phones illegal, sounds like something that would be more difficult to do, than banning a couple app stores.

> No, I don't think that.

Ok cool. So then if the phone manufactures made it so their phones were all unlocked, which is what I am recommending that they do, then you would not say that this is going down a dangerous path.

Got it. You agree with my original position that they should sell unlocked devices.

What you're describing is real in some places (Java's ecosystem also includes much/most of Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Google, Twitter, Uber and many others like them), but it is not a result of the new release model. The free support period of JDK 8 ended, like all versions before it, after five years. People who'd want to stay on 8 would have had to pay even if the release model stayed the same.

As to the changes, they aren't "near breaking." There have been few breaking spec changes, and they were very small. What breaks is what had always broken code: reliance on internal undocumented classes that change. The reason this happens more now than in the past is not due to spec backward compatibility -- we're as compatible as ever for most intents and purposes -- but because Java was stagnant for a good while, starting with Sun's dying days, and Oracle has been steadily increasing investment in the platform, which means more work done, which means more implementation changes. I think few would say this is a bad thing, but it also means that more code that does what it's warned not to do -- breaks. We're trying to stop this by turning on encapsulation in JDK 16, which would gradually stop libraries from hacking into the JDK and becoming stuck at any specific version.
why? they deliberately sue to stop almost any new housing construction.

The prevented BART from going down the peninsula to stop "undesirables" coming to their cities.

They were historically redlined to explicitly exclude any PoC.

They have a deeply ingrained prejudice, which may be less racially motivated now, but to claim that that prejudice isn't present is ignorant.

Even San Jose had police trying to stop BART from reaching due to it allowing the "criminals" from Oakland for some reason using one of the least reliable public transit systems to go to SJ and commit crimes, the flee back to Oakland.

The Ahmadiyya movement is seen also as a cult. As someone who resisted the idea of discrimination for some random accusatory beliefs, I later realized the group does not reciprocate non discrimination but discriminates even harder.

Some of this can be understood. Because intra support is a characteristic along minorities. But the level is not just support but also active hate and cult like behavior.

Oh my goodness. It’s worse than you probably think. I built a HN dark mode web extension (you can grab it on my GH under the same handle if you want) because it’s been asked for so many times... And the weird hacks I had to do (even basing it off of dang’s invitation to solve it with HN’s base stylesheet) were so unusual that I didn’t feel comfortable promoting it here or anywhere.

There’s not just weird 90s style table layout/spacer gifs, there’s also just random font tags and inline color attributes for important (eg branding) elements. Every downvote greying is inline color attributes.

I’d originally planned on a companion stylesheet for Algolia search and it was so different I just bailed.

Edit: honestly given the forum, I wish they’d open source some portion of HN to allow improvement. I really want a better mobile view, which is easily achievable with CSS without using the API and hosting another domain. If there’s so little interest in UX improvement effort this is something we could pick up the slack on.

FYI, this “Bitcoin Insider” (there should be no such thing in a decentralized currency?) apparently took $5M from mtgox, claiming he could get them through regulation in the U.S. (he did no such thing)... then sued them for $16B after they went bankrupt, holding the thousands of creditors hostage for years... so far.

And apparently now fortress will give him (CoinLab) $11M to move (slightly) out of the way.
I built a computer with a AMD 5600XT over a year ago, and was having a hell of a time getting it to not crash, so I bought a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 to maybe replace it with (which apparently scared the AMD card into working properly).

CPUs aren't too bad. I've got a 5950X I bought at MSRP and I just found a site with a 5800X in stock for MSRP. 5900X on the same site is backordered but didn't see how long the wait is but I doubt it's months considering the 5800X was in stock.

Intel is releasing Rocket Lake shortly but it won't have any options with more cores than the 5800X. Zen 4 isn't launching until late fall. Not sure availability will be any better on either of these launches anyways.

GPUs are a little bit more ridiculous. You can get them if you don't need it to show up tomorrow but getting one at a reasonable price any time soon is much more a challenge than doing the same for a CPU. That being said I did manage to get a reasonably priced 3070 in a build early on but I put that to luck more than anything.

Motherboards I haven't had any issues with.

I think the article accusation of racism is misplaced, they just don't want poor people in their fancy city.
This just leads to pronounced NIMBYism. You see it in all of the community groups in the Seattle Suburbs - we have an agreement that each city must build new housing for X thousand residents in each decade. Every single suburb - Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell, and probably ones whose community discussion groups I don't monitor as well - all ask "why does it have to be here? Why can't people just move further out?"

People want to live throughout. Not everyone works in the canonical centers. Plenty of businesses are among the other cities too, particularly service workers who can't currently afford to live there. ALL of the cities need to build to keep costs under control. No one has any right to have their town stay small forever.
If your city requires minimum wage workers for a significant part of basic infrastructure it should be possible for them to live in your city. Otherwise you're getting subsidized by your neighboring cities that have to pay for the infrastructure to support employees of businesses that only pay taxes in your city.

That's why every city needs to contribute. The ones that aren't are literally leeching off of neighboring cities.

> The data show that middle income cities have, on average, grown at a much faster pace than the region’s poorest and richest locales.

I'm not a housing expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Middle income cities grow faster because there was more growth in middle income demographics. The most common demographic with a lot of growth is the "senior software engineer" at tech company X. As tech companies exploded, this was the segment that grew the most.

As a result, this is the segment that is most competitive when it comes to housing, because that's where all the people are. This "middle class" income bracket for housing in the Bay Area translates roughly to the $1.25m to $2.5m range for single family home purchases depending on whether you have 1 or two tech incomes in the household.

There's no getting around it: wherever most of the people are will be the most competitive for housing, and when it comes to essentials like food and shelter, people /will/ compete. Want less competition? Buy a house in Vallejo for under $1m, or go above $3m, and there will be fewer people in those brackets who can compete with you.

Either increase the supply or decrease the demand, there's no way around the physical reality of housing.

P.S. It never fails to make me pause and think when people accept $200k jobs without asking, or trying to find out: "What's the distribution graph of incomes within a 30-min commute distance of the job, and where do I land on that bell curve?"

I mostly agree with you. But...

Let's say someone steals a $300 purse or a $30000 car. Nobody needs either a $300 purse or a $30000 car. But let's say someone steals $10 of food from a grocery store. They may legitimately need that. (Or they may just have poor self-control.) If someone legitimately needs food, I could bend my mind far enough to call that "excusable".

There is a saying that goes, "So easy a child could do it." This is a variation that goes, "So easy a stoned user can use it"

Also, there is the term "Child proof" for things that are hard to break or inadvertently misuse. A stoned user can test for "Stoner proof", which is conceptually similar perhaps.

Take the case of user input validation. It's not uncommon for systems or UX without validation to break when someone does something that just makes no sense. A stoned user is perhaps a fairly effective chaos monkey (google it) for testing in this case.

As an example, many (I mean many) years ago I found an online ordering site for wine that would allow you to enter negative numbers for quantity to ship. You could fill your cart with wine, then throw in -20 orders of some other wine and basically null out your order - or turn it into a refund. It also had you look up the shipping costs from an on-page table, and type it in. You could of course, type in negative shipping cost which it gladly added to your total.

Absolutely, many people can be convinced and reasoned with, I don't dispute that. What I'm saying is that there are people who are prejudiced to such an extent that there is no reasoning with them. You have never addressed how we deal with that problem. There are people like this in society at large and there are people like this in positions of power in government and in the private sector. Both problems need to be addressed in some way, because the people in government and the private sector derive power from the people in society who support them and we can't tolerate this in a civil society. I don't know what order to solve them in and perhaps solving one would solve the other, but it's a problem that prevents us from working together in a more fundamental way as a society. Ignoring it is not an option.

I remember there was a huge discussion about Prop 13 on HN. IIRC, people passed Prop 13 because 1. California government double taxed; 2. Inflation was crazy and people believed that it was cruel that retirees had to leave the home they had been living in for many years just because they couldn't afford the property tax.

What beats me is why Prop 13 applies to commercial properties and investment homes.

Whether it's governments or corporations, there is constant tension between "move safely" and "move fast and break things." One reason why tech companies managed to dominate many fields is that they are less worried about making mistakes than their institutional competitors. Especially in western society where our medical institutions are quite old with many safeguards, the time it takes to roll out a vaccine can seem maddening, especially to readers of HN who work in fields where software bugs don't kill people. For those people, what this author did could seem like an attractive means of cutting through perceived red tape.

As has been pointed out before on HN with roll-your-own vaccine stories, it takes a week to make a covid vaccine. It takes much longer to prove it's safe and effective. We rightly live in a free society where someone can do what they like with their own bodies, but - like buying GameStop stock - I hope the naive do not get the wrong idea and do something they'll regret.
