Most people also don't realize how slow the speed of light is in relation to the size of the universe and the distance between stars. It's quite easy for a person to look at two galaxies in a telescope that will never be able to even observe each other's existence, let alone visit one another.

People often argue that we'll find a way to travel faster than light -- which is curious given how rarely people argue that we'll find a way to travel backwards in time.
No-one's arguing for an outright ban on cars everywhere in all circumstances. I'm pretty extremist but all I want to see is an end to using public space for private car storage, zero-parking buildings as a norm where land costs warrant it, single-vehicle-width shared streets (Americans would probably perceive them as alleyways) as a norm in cities where land costs warrant it...

Here's another dose of reality: You can't downvote reality. You can downvote words on an internet page. That's fantastic. It doesn't change the truth and reality at all. All it does is change a silly little number in satisfying direction.

Put a different way: Reality doesn't care. It's physics. It just is.
Because current low-code development tools boxes you in and are extremely inflexible. They are walled gardens, antithetical to general purpose computing. JavaScript and Python are ultimately not as beginner friendly as they like to claim to be [0]. Dependency management problems (Python), various footguns from the earlier days (JavaScript), difficult to rapid prototype UI and CRUD systems (both). VB and VBA are tried and tested technologies (the alternative I have considered is Lua, but Lua's ecosystem is fragmented because of the focus on embedding). Their current high popularity is in spite of Microsoft's attempts to deprecate and move users to .NET and JavaScript. They are possibly the world's most successful low-code platform.

Embarcadero Delphi has become irrelevant, SAP is not accessible to most consumers. The newer generation of platforms like Retool and Bubble are all designed with software engineers first in mind when it comes to extensability and customisation; they are very inaccessible to layman if you stray from the well-beaten path. They all force you to choose between a false dichotomy of either pure GUI and no code, or an obtuse API that requires a CS degree and five years of fullstack software engineering experience to understand.

In VB6/VBA, calling Windows DLL via COM was trivial. The entire power of the operating system was at your disposal in a few simple readable lines. I want to make a similar system for the modern web and APIs. iOS's Shortcuts may look pretty but they are a step backwards from the HyperCard days.

[0] The litmus test I use is this: Can I teach somebody from a non-STEM background how to code and more importantly get them to integrate it in their own workflow in an afternoon? With VBA/VB6, yes. Everything is a click away. They had hot reloading in 1995. It took JavaScript 20 years to reinvent the wheel. Good luck explaining even how the packaging dependency system works with Python.
Drawing conclusions on org size based on number of job postings at big companies doesn't always tell you much.

The problem in your example isn't TypeScript. It's the JSON parser. If you used GSON in Java, you'd get the same result, despite being statically typed with runtime type checks.

You can implement the JSON parser to be type safe. For example, this is how nest-dto can prevent this.
This kind of vapid triumphalism adds nothing to the conversation.
There is honestly not very much revolutionary about Bitcoin as a system in the real world, because it is so burdensome to use[1] that you cannot easily use it for facilitating financial transactions without trusting a middleman[2].

The result is that you must use centralized exchanges[3], and consume much more electricity than needed in the process.

The decentralized, cryptographically secure, append only ledger is pretty cool though.

You can say this is still 20 years ago, but you have to count from the other side.

Aw jeez, thanks for saying.

This sorta of thinking clicks with me. Esp the "discourage not prohibit" framing. I think I have similar hopes, except I maybe hinge my thinking less on direct taxation or regulatory schemes ("if you get above threshold X, we take Y%") and instead lean a little but more on tactics of growing the co-operative ecosystem, which i believe will dampen the bad stuff in similar ways. I feel that co-operative companies tend to grow by collaborating instead of expanding/acquiring -- by scaling whole sector horizontally, instead of individual companies vertically -- and more co-operative companies will results in similar outcomes to what you speak of, but which cannot be easily dismantled as the tides sweep left to right, and back again :)

But I feel aligned with what you're saying, and I would cheer such measures even though I work with other tactics!
Right after landing, Perseverance put Ingenuity down on the ground and drove off to give some separation.

The winds and sand aren't mechanically very strong - the Martian atmosphere isn't dense enough to transmit much force even at high wind speeds. The only real dangers are obscuring the sun (important because Ingenuity runs on solar power) and getting dust in all kinds of places. But the landing site is pretty low latitude, and it's early in northern hemisphere spring right now, so power shouldn't be a problem.

Mars isn't quite as dead as the Moon, but still - you would be surprised how well things are preserved on dead rocks. As long as you can withstand the radiation and the cold, of course.
I agree with you regarding the tabloid journalism aspect of the ArsTechnica story.
There is no "in the US" here; regulations vary by state and city.

For example, in San Francisco, landlords can usually pass on some portion of the cost of capital improvements on to their tenants, but not all of it, and only until that portion is paid off, after which the rent reverts to the previous amount.

So yes, the landlord gets the improvement done at something of a discount, but still has to shell out cash, and for not much benefit since the rent will still revert to the previous level. So there's not much incentive to do it until after the tenant moves out, if at all.

Really, it’s probably just telemetry data. It’s probably for QA and maybe even follow-up sales.

Not that that is at all ok - it’s really not. But China is a country where there’s no concept of privacy - when companies are actually required to keep tabs on their customers and report data back to the state on a regular basis without legal oversight from an independent judiciary, the notion that the company isn’t entitled to peek in on you must be an alien idea.

Plastic recycling done in Asia is the result of incredibly cheap return shipping as most containers come back empty.

People who get outraged about it don't understand that due to cheaper wages and energy costs, plus the need for raw feedstock in the manufacturing countries it's actually a really decent system. It's a closed loop where plastic goods are produced in Asia and recyclable plastic returns on the same ship, it gets processed and keeps raw material prices low for continued use in manufacturing for export again. It doesn't just get shipped there and thrown in a river.

The real problem, especially in South East Asia is very much cultural, many assumed that societies would become more environmentally friendly as they got richer but that is not the case, they are polluting more than ever. It's incredibly common to see people throw rubbish on the ground despite being right next to a bin.
Nearly every waterway is horrendously polluted with plastic consumer products.

It's an externality that the rest of the world must bear. The other poster here is on the money, nearly all of it comes from a few catchments.

I almost want to agree with you on the displacement point, but the problem is that building on empty land is how we got Phoenix. The ROI on dense buildings isn't great unless you're closer to the center of an already developed city, and then all the problems with displacement and NIMBYs apply. Also, building out to avoid zoning laws isn't great for the local environment.

That being said, displacement almost certainly shouldn't be used as an excuse not to build... but it is. I bring it up specifically to front-run certain left-NIMBY arguments against ever increasing housing supply. Equitable pro-growth city planning needs to assume that the short-term pain of growth will be borne on the backs of the poor; and then implement policies to ameliorate that pain while still promoting density. Just dismissing left-NIMBYs as crypto-Trumpist won't dismiss their otherwise valid concerns, as much as it really feels good to do so from behind a keyboard.
I suspect that the mockery comes at least in part because it's Ars reporting on Gab. If it were Breitbart reporting on MoveOn.org, then I have a feeling folks would be a bit more receptive to your call for empathy here.

I'm with you in the sense that it always is the process, rarely the dev. It's complicated that this mistake was made by the CTO, who is responsible for being sure such processes are implemented. The lesson for me is that we all must be continually vigilant against both shitty code and evil, both without and within. Anyone can write terrible code, irrespective of political stance. Likewise anyone at all can do evil.

That's a bit of a weird thing to say. If I were a landlord, there is no situation in which I would prefer to own a rent-controlled unit vs. one where I'm free to increase the rent however much I like.

When a tenant moves out of a rent-controlled apartment, the owner raises the rent to market rates, not above market. They've lost out on cash they could either keep or invest in improving the property (which would command higher rents, if they were allowed to raise it).

A few ideas:

- Reviews should be normalised to a reviewer's mean score. If a person hands out 5/5s like there's no tomorrow, those rate as 2.5/5s.

- The whole notion of collaborative filtering is that some information is (usually) better than none. This is often the case, but in a situation where 100 people are tasked with evaluating a skyscraper, jet airliner, pharmaceutical, or software design, where 1 is a domain expert and 99 are not ... I'd slant my weight in favour of the domain expert, generally. (A jury of experts might be more suitable.) Otherwise, the information is simply noise.

- Massive penalties and downratings for both reviewers and retailers who game the system. Zero those motherlovers out. Put some skin in the game.

Amazon (and every other review site) has a massive reputation problem here, and it will (and is) biting them.
Maybe that's like the tech equivalent of enjoying a loud vehicle because it sounds more powerful than a quieter one. (In reality, the quieter one is more efficient than the louder one.)
I'd be surprised if this had the intended effect. I'd imagine it'd cause most landlords to increase their qualifications, and bar them from making exceptions to those qualifications.

Let’s say there’s a Facebook group of moms that enjoy using essential oils. Imagine that a study gets posted to the group showing that essential oils are ineffective at treating some disease. If I made a comment in that community about how, in my anecdotal experience, essential oils cured me of this disease, it would probably be supported over the study.

Now, instead of essential oils, let’s say I did the same thing with a drug that is popular in Silicon Valley, and instead of a Facebook mom group, it’s hacker news.

I'd actually totally love to see this proposed in more left-leaning city councils. This is sort of the idea I've had in my head for how to short-circuit the left-NIMBY trap, but I have no idea how good or bad it would actually be at moving the needle in favor of growth.

Part of the problem I could see right off the bat would be the fact that owners and occupants are inherently antagonized to one another; as in, the more money you require to be given as a displacement subsidy; the less is available to actually incentivize land development. Of course, in places like SF the market rate for housing is so hilariously high that there might actually be enough money for both parties, at least for a little while.
Surely you don't believe that the only politically motivated crimes are cases of incitement...yet I think you're a bit off track anyway, for a different reason.

> In a so-called liberal state we shouldn't send people behind bars for political reasons, not even fascists

Note the "shouldn't" -- even if your point were valid, it's moot because this is a conversation about "should" not "do."

Gitlow v. New York upheld conviction based on a loose interpretation of "clear and present danger," and later Feiner v. New York held that the police can take action against speech when there is a clear and present danger. But again, none of that matters because we're not debating legal theory, nor implementation of law.

Are you suggesting that we should pardon all criminals who are motivated in part or in whole by political reasons?

> for example, it takes a cow a lot longer to reach slaughter weight eating grass, so even if they're belching less during that time, it's a long enough time that it may be a wash, or even worse

This hurts your point more than it helps. Why should anyone care about propping up a journal composed of glorified copyeditors and graphic designers, quibbling over Word formatting to fit their preferred in-house look and feel?

So this is the heavy-hitting work that's supposed to justify closing off knowledge except to those who can pay: because someone might see a paper that had insufficient formatting?

No wonder the reputation for closed-access journals is so thorougly poisoned, when this is exactly the kind of misdirected attention and gatekeeping that's killing it.
