Quite. The original rules document is in the public domain now and is a fascinating read of turn of last century economic thought that is still relevant today (as this larger discussion shows). Maybe someone could do a quick interesting reskin for "The Domainparker's Game".

> And yet, it seems majority of HN wants to rewind from the App Store which was created as to assist users and devs with that problem.

App Store is fine, as long as it's not the only way to the platform. If it's a curated catalog of apps + a hosting service + payment processing for those developers who want it, there's no problem with it existing. There is, however, a problem with how Apple keeps tightening its grip lately, and how current versions of macOS with default settings treat apps that haven't been vetted by Apple as if they're radioactive. That's still better than iOS, which outright refuses to run anything that isn't signed by Apple, but this overall direction is still troubling.
You can buy them on UK Ebay with no ID and they can work throughout the EU.
I'm seeing a resurgence of competition on quality too. I personally purchase organic grass fed glass bottled milk from local farms. Sounds snobby and onerous, but it's available at any Whole Foods.

Quality food is truly worth it. Milk should not be a commodity. I know it's a bit more expensive, but I promise eating quality reduces the need for quantity.

Our bodies are starving on this poorly made junk commodity food.
American coffee contains significantly more water than an espresso.

Yeah, we've had this as well... for example, if you're running a certain version of node, you might have a CVE on the crypto module but if your API just accepts some data, processes some data and writes it to a local file without using crypto... are you really vulnerable?
And that is super cool. I think we'd very significantly underestimate what our earlier brothers and sisters could actually do.

And I also believe, since communication was spotty, and took a long time, that there were pockets of real Mastery in the world. But everyone didn't benefit, just because of the communication and knowledge-sharing difficulties from that time.

I think Travelers had an amazing experience. They could go to some parts of the world and literally see the future, and other parts of the world and perhaps feel very connected to the very basics.

>This trend seems well underway already thankfully

On average, for now, yes. Not across the entire national population, though. We're just selecting for the sorts of people who thrive (reproductively/evolutionarily speaking) in the modern high competition/low scarcity environment. Because this environment is very different from the environment, say, 200 years ago, people that are more fit to the current environment are relatively rare now- which is why you see trends pointing towards overall population decline- but those small subgroups are there, quietly reproducing at >2.1 children per woman. As such, over time, they'll come to make up the majority of the population, as the relatively non-competitive phenotypes numerically stagnate or dwindle.

Ironically, the prediliction to be convinced of viewpoints like your own (given things like personality and political tendency have a significant hereditary component) is one of the things likely to be selected against!

The future is a dwindling relative population of midwit liberals, lots of live-fast die-young r-selection chads, and one 150 IQ guy who made a billion clones of himself.
Because the underground economy funded by illegal recreational drugs is causing incredible violence. Mexico and Afghanistan, to give just two examples, are in a state of civil war, where one side is the official government and the other is the drug business. This violence is much more harmful than recreational drugs, even the worst of them.

China's little know bloody colonial history should prevent "us" from being surprised that "China" has little care for intellectual property, the same I did not care about downloading music illegally while big labels were filling their pockets. I can relate.
I don't know why he took the example of Vietnam but people there have endured forty years of war and extreme poverty so I would not be surprised surprised if there is a con mentality floating around as it is the case in every poor part of the world and in every poor layer of any country. I do agree that the detour by mentality/culture explanation was not really necessary but I think it was part of his "step out of your moral frame" endeavour to make people that think "China is bad/cheating" shut up.

On my last project - which was mostly a Rails app with Stimulus, but Web Components for the parts where they fit, we exclusively used GitHub's components. They're all really solid and well-engineered, and you have the guarantee that they're actually used on GitHub, in production.
Years ago I read a blog post that I found good: it recommended that advanced dancers ask new dancers (especially one who are there for the first time) within the first hour of the dance.

After that they can focus on partners on their own level.

(Obviously you can't make that mandatory – it's a voluntary thing you decide for yourself)

The newbies are less hesitant when they don't know yet that their dance partner is very good. They have a good time. And when they see their dance partner from earlier do really cool and advanced moves they feel that the scene is welcoming ("such a good dancer actually asked me to dance").
French companies do this. They did it before GDPR mostly.
Yes, the leasing companies make a fortune. On the other hand they take risk in tying up capital.

I'm no fan of the franchise system - especially when companies like Virgin East Coast get out of the obligations if they don't make enough money, but rail is stronger now (well 2019) than it has been since before the motor car was created, and the strength coincided with the franchise system coming in.

> People commute by train because it's the least bad option and/or the only viable option. That does not mean that it's good or that there is real competition.

We haven't seen the same growth in other European countries though. And it's not just commuting into London -- long-distance travel has ballooned too - hence the need to build HS2.
Can you clarify? Aren’t we still observing an old state of any galaxy we see in the skies, simply due to the fact that light takes time to travel to us?
On a related note, Rust's Cow (copy on write) type is great for managing a large area of allocated memory where many threads are reading and only a few threads write. You can dole out pointers like candy without worrying about race conditions, because the moment they are written to a new allocation is created and the pointer moved.
The "dark ages" is a good description of what happened throughout most of Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The nuance is that the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire survived much longer, and that somewhat well organized kingdoms remained in parts of the West for a time.

But there was a remarkable economic and cultural collapse in most of the former Western Roman Empire. Large cities mostly disappeared. Literacy nearly disappeared, and was only really preserved by the Church. The extensive Roman system of taxation and the public goods it paid for (roads, aqueducts, baths, theaters, security) nearly disappeared. Without large cities, roads and security, long-distance trade collapsed and the economy became much simpler. Skilled trades that existed in the highly complex Roman economy were forgotten. Classical literature and philosophy were largely lost in the West. Essentially, urbanized classical civilization disappeared.

There's a tendency to talk nowadays about the "transformation of the Roman Empire," rather than its fall, but I find that a bit too euphemistic.
Agreed. I suspect an open-source competitor could be much better than all of these if organized well.
The last year of Mac Photoshop has been a PITA.

Specifically it has a horrible horrible draw/render bug. it blanks out with grey for 90% of the image after switching a tab and some other tasks.

Textually, that can be read as a fancied-up version of "all lives matter". Semantically at the time, it most certainly did not have an everyday lived reality that all people were equal.

At the time, women couldn't vote, Black people could be owned, and all people could be indentured servants, which significantly undermines the "Thomas Jefferson said 'All Lives Matter' almost 250 years ago" argument.
I've heard this sentiment repeated quite a bit by non-technical people who hover around the fringes of the security field (compliance officers and the like), that noone actually cares and we're just checking off boxes. That's not fair for those of us who really do care. As someone in offensive security, I can assure you that there's a huge difference between forgetting to check off a box to pay lip service and leaving a critical server wide open to hackers. The former will simply bounce back until you check it, the latter might put your company in the news or even out of business.
SD cards don't get corrupted easily, if you buy the right ones. (Unfortunately most people don't, and end up blaming the Pi for being unreliable.)

> Actually I think after seeing the vaccine rollout by the EU, many more Brits would vote to leave.

> It's interesting how events have turned out.

it's more or less the same as every other crisis the EU has had to deal with: it ends up being handling extremely poorly

the EU is more or less good at one thing: trade negotiations

everything else it ends up involved with has pretty much been a disaster (sovereign debt crisis, migrant crisis, last days of yugoslavia, vaccine procurement, Russia, etc)
Having read through this, I think its a ciol project, but i am not clear how its usefull to represent an area.

So there are two comparable projects, S2 library and ubers H3, both of them represent areas but the codes are not memorable. In each case, if you want to represent usefull area, say a park, you are going to have to combine multiple smaller cells to make up that shape. Thats not going to be memorable to a human. So i am not clear why a memorable system would ever need to represent an area.
How is saying fuck and shit every other word entertaining?

Idiocracy, here we come.
Did nobody bother to read the original post and OP’s responses? They are clearly aiming to be more than just a calendar, but rather a centralized place and improved UX for all of your notifications, including apps that don’t currently support easy notifications (e.g. Github).

You may not think that’s valuable, they may not succeed at realizing that vision, but it is clearly not a case of “Mac only calendar menu bar app gets YC funding.”

The lack of intellectual humility here is alarming. I don’t see the value in this thing selected by a 16-year investor, who actually has skin in the game to pick successful startups? Maybe there is something I’m not seeing. No, that can’t be it, YC must just be stupid.
Google is very much a company run by PMs. It's just the PMs are rewarded for launching products, and not maintaining them. In other words, the larger the Google graveyard, the more bonuses are being handed out. People are doing what they're being incentivized to do.

Google's culture is fundamentally broken. I don't think it's possible for them to fix this. I'll probably take a short position on Google in the medium future.

Idea: excessive nuclear but we have big datacenters that ramp up power usage during periods of otherwise low usage, and ramp down during peak hours. Ideally shared compute nodes for job batches that can wait up to a day. Plus EV charging can help reduce variance.

I keep a running project journal in a google doc with to-dos and just stream-of-consious thought about the problem at hand. If I have an idea for something that's not a current priority, I put it in under an out-of-scope header. I can come back and collect it later when I'm in a big picture planning phase and it lets me stop carrying the mental weight of "I want it to be perfect" that leads to paralysis because I can't implement everything all at once. Writing down my thinking helps recover from interruptions, which are frequent with kids underfoot.
Did you read the law and then work on complying with it?

Spirit of the law is great. Implementation and end result is a typical bureaucracy mess, with not much benefit for end user, that functions mostly as a way for government to have a leverage over companies for non-compliance, whenever they want to put pressure on them.
You're right, they're not. But if the league they play in says that their pads have to change, and the goalies are staring down a $200 investment in pads (this isn't totally unreasonable) there could be a lot of folks who can't swing that kind of cash just to have their kids play in a youth league, or adults who play in a beer league.

Hockey is already expensive - for goalies especially. More rule changes = more $$$ spent, and not always for great reasons.
That’s a very apt analogy - any football game will have the same stuff: “he just set the record for the most yards run in a third quarter during a second playoff game that happened on a Tuesday, in the history of the NFL.”
Most of the "business" leaders who where pro brexit where outliers or ecentric's (Wetherspoons guy) and of course wealthy media tycoons.

I have always wondered how true this is. It is certainly a common claim, but anecdotally I know several small business owners who I am fairly sure voted Leave because they didn't agree with EU-style regulation such as the subject of today's discussion. And this is in the Cambridge area, which overall was literally the most pro-Remain place in the entire country. Most of those people did not talk much about their views on Brexit in public because of the peer pressure, which I think was unfortunate. Even if few minds might have been changed in either direction, it would have been better for the issues to have been properly debated.
You assessment is fair, but there is a lot of data out there that you simply won't find by using Google search. One exemple is the "A collection of unmitigated pedantry" blog which I found after someone used it in a comment when replying to me.

If you google "Iron processing in the middle ages" you won't find Bret Devereaux' excellent series[1], yet it is a much better read than the Wikipedia page.

Many companies invested a lot of time.

But from what I have seen, most of that time was spent on the legal and policy site, not on actually implementing the technical changes required to properly handle, store and delete data.

I can absolutely guarantee you that the overwhelming majority EU companies could not properly carry out a GDPR deletion request.
You're right; I didn't know this, but it's spelled out here in Exhibit A:

There's also an undersupply of managers and executives that know the right way to build and manage these kinds of development efforts. They think trial & error of data products is something we can do via Scrum or somesuch. And they don't understand anything about what is being built or have the data literacy to question/examine/learn from the data insights of data products
`GitHub historically has been top notch from an accessibility standpoint. Full marks there.

But the recent trend to start hiding things in the GitHub UI is driving me up the wall. They're hiding the files in a repo by default, they're burying the SSH cloning info under a "Download" button (huh?), good luck finding the branch listing link. GitHub is not a UI that needs to be "simpler", it needs to be functional given its audience.

Edit: Clarifying which cloning info I'm referring to.
I'd describe it more as a pool or block allocator.

An arena allocator is specifically optimized for incremental allocation and then bulk deallocation (the entire arena is freed at once).

The example code instead appears to create a context of a number of fixed sized blocks. Because of the fixed size, the allocator can make a lot of simplifying assumptions and generally achieve constant time algorithmic complexity, while allowing for individual allocations to be freed and reused.

> nothing I couldn't get in the US, save for Nanaimo Bars and Letterkenny

And kinder eggs :)

As someone who spent several years in Toronto, several in San Francisco and grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I agree that there's a lot of similarities between US and Canada. The "uncomfortable truths" you listed sound accurate to me.

But aside from the 10,000 mile view, there's also a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that is hard to put into words, which is what I was referring to when I mentioned torontonians. Let me preface that it's not my intention to criticize anyone, but merely to try to explain a feeling. When we got to the US, we got a distinct impression that my wife described as americans being generally more "nosy" where a canadian might be more "laissez-faire".

To use the GP comment as an example, they seemed to be characterizing international families at costco as "insular and unwilling to mingle with locals". But for me as a torontonian, I'm well aware that, e.g. it's common for indians to have large tight-knit families. I don't feel the need to "judge" that grandparents living with you for extended periods of time does not conform to some predetermined idea of how one ought to "melt into the north american pot". Surely many americans also feel the way I do, but there are enough of those that are vocal enough about their distastes that it becomes a noticeable pattern even if it's a very subtle thing. (On a side note, I dislike the distinction between the "melting pot" term and the "quilt" term, despite "quilt" being a more accurate description of the canadian flavor of globalization, because "quilt" adds a pejorative connotation to the american flavor that I don't feel is necessarily warranted)
Renewable energy is heat-neutral, at least the solar/wind types. The electricity is created from heat. Energy in photons that would otherwise strike the planet and become heat is turned into electrical power. In converting fast moving air to slower moving air a wind turbine extracts heat from the atmosphere and turns it into electricity. So now matter how many turbines and solar panels we build, they aren't pumping out any net heat.

I believe this holds true for hydro, but not so for geothermal as it moves net heat into the biosphere.

Did you double-check with a tool such as virustotal?

False positives can be quite common with anti-virus software, since they tend to err on the side of caution, and if it is indeed a false positive, you should report it to the antivirus company itself rather than the developer of the library.
"you can help the redeemable extremists __know__ they're indulging in extremism by forcing them to go to fringe websites rather than allow them to stay on Twitter and Facebook as if nothing is wrong."

This is such a terrible idea. All this accomplishes is causing extremists to find echo chambers where they will never actually know what they're doing is wrong. It's much better to keep extremists in mainstream platforms so they can be called out and atleast informed that they are wrong. Your solution is totally backwards and accomplishes the opposite of what you're hoping for.
We're currently in Mexico! And yeah, here you can do that as well. The problem is that not a lot of people have a credit card (90.5% to be exact) and even if they have, they have enough credit limit and deal with the opacity, late fees, and complexity of credit cards. Also, this is defered interest, not actual installments, that means that wen you miss a payment you get charged the interest rate of your card (60% APR on average in MX)

Even here in Canada with regulation we see the same consolidation happening. The quotas of production have become so expensive that it is not possible to start from scratch. In the case of my familly the cows were sold in 1989 because it was either growing the farm or selling.

Now we produce only corn & soybean and despiste our ~100 acres it is not enough to sustain one person without a side job. There is not much money to be made in agriculture for small farms, that's why I am a software engineer.
