You have completely missed the point despite your temper-tantrum rage ranting. Maybe grow up a little?

But first, your entire argument against the grandparent comment is "Trump is rich and had some policies that benefitted some rich people" as equaling that his base is in love with the very concept of political and business elitism?

Do you not see how completely nonsensically disingenuous and logically fallacious of an argument that is?

Are you actually interested in having an intellectual discussion on the topic or do you want to rant like you are on Twitter, Reddit, or some cable media show?

Feel free to head over to one of those if that is your intentions.

The primary reason why Trump was elected was because he was the only candidate brave enough to attack both the Bush and Clinton dynastic era policies (on live Television, btw). IIRC, he did replace NAFTA. A lot of Americans actually are interested in the idea of a strong focus on American job availability.

Regardless of a subjective judgement on whether Trump mad e progress on this or not, those were the policies he publicly promoted.

He also has done other public things like Twitter rants against companies that are moving factories to Mexico, etc.

So, his base is entirely aware of all of these things and that is exactly what GP commenter was referring too. And that is exactly what you failed to negate with all of your flamebaiting ranting.
Does it strike anyone else as oddly ironic that he is so sad that people don't go to the effort to hear the cuckoos, and yet he basically doesn't want to experience... well, pretty much everything.

It's great he's happy with the life he has chosen. But I personally find people who are even slightly like that (i.e. closed off to new experiences) depressing to be around. My parents are kind of like that, and have been as long as I can remember. But to each their own.
My impression is that poor people donate a lot through their churches, which do tons of important social work, but we HN people have zero contact with those layers of society.
Couple of cellphone towers on the property maybe, leasing some land to other farmers, and/or he did a bit more before his stroke and now just focuses on the sheep? All pretty plausible
One thing to keep in mind about CA, once you buy that $800k house, your real estate taxes are more or less locked at that price and won’t rise as the value increases.

> These “govcoins” are a new incarnation of money. They promise to make finance work better but also to shift power from individuals to the state, alter geopolitics and change how capital is allocated. They are to be treated with optimism, and humility.

Not sure I would describe a power transfer from individuals to the state as a cause for optimisim, but hey, this is The Economist.
Give the government money now for the promise they'll use it correctly tomorrow and not spend it on something else in the meantime. What could go wrong?
It's not the same person. Look at the pictures of each of them.
I do mean editorialized:

> To present an opinion in the guise of an objective report.

As in, I'm suspicious that the words the farmer spoke were heavily edited by the journalist before being published to better fit the narrative.
> Government or central-bank digital currencies are the next step but they come with a twist, because they would centralise power in the state rather than spread it through networks or give it to private monopolies.

Each economic block will have it's own monopoly money, with little distribution beyond block's borders (unlike cash today). For all the failings of "traditional" cryptocurrencies, at least these are available to anyone in the world.
Yes, but a quick look at attprompts.com will show you most apps that use pre-prompts do at least one thing that’s not allowed by the rules.

I Worte about a few, including McDonald’s which uses misleading language and a popular game that shows a fake prompt altogether.

That is all good and well, but nowadays not everyone can get a decent factory job.

When I didn't have my CS degree finished and no IT experience, I've applied to thousands of factory and warehouse jobs and got nowhere. I only got a curier job through a family connection.
"Proprietary apps almost universally default to opt out for tracking (if they give an option at all). This is because companies understand the power of defaults. If their users had to consent before being tracked, many if not most of them would say no. Since so many of these apps are funded by capturing and selling user data, that's too big a risk to take."

"Tech" companies want users to believe tracking is not optional. They want users to believe no tracking means no more more internet, no more web, no more apps. Totally untrue. It just means no more "tech" companies selling users out as ad targets.

> The crypto transaction is final there is no reversing, it can not be unfunded, frozen or anything.

People keep saying this like it’s a good thing. It’s dreadful.

> Blockchains are for when no such trust/power based system is in place.

And exactly what situation are you transacting with somebody you do not trust and you cannot find a mutually acceptable intermediary? If no such situation exists you probably should not be transacting. You are exposed to too much counterparty risk.

Do you have a concrete example of a time that this has been a problem for you? Because I can’t think of a single one.
> GTK4 still doesn't support native rendering of window controls

Sorry, this ship has sailed, and I find that bringing "native" into an argument simply invalidates the argument.

That "native" has changed so much over the years shows that there isn't one "truth". The fact that things like Electron and Flutter and other toolkits exist clearly demonstrates that end users don't give one iota of damn whether a control is native or not.
Tried selling a MacBook on eBay. Winners gave instructions on shipping to a bust stop in Africa.

I reported it fi eBay as method of payment looked dodgy as well.

Unless they have the same parents, they are not your brothers and sisters more than OP is. Imagine an us-vs-then based on skin color is extremely racist and should be criticized.
Fair amount of rubbish here. To pick just one:

> Scientific writers of note had grasped the fact of evolution long before Darwin and Huxley; and the theories advanced by these men to explain evolution were not much more unsatisfactory, as full explanations, than the theory of natural selection itself.

Well, no (or at least, if Teddy thought that he should have provided examples) - Origin of Species was ground-breaking.

> But Lamarck and Cope are only to be found in the libraries of a few special students.

I don't know about Cope, but Lamarck is very well known, and his ideas are still influential today, for instance in immunology. Also, my family used to live in Rue Lamarck, in Paris, where my Dad was one of the organisers of the RAF contingent for the Paris Air Show that year - if you get a street named after you in Paris, you are probably not entirely forgotten.

There is a Darwin Street in London, but given its location, I don't see it as a great compliment, if it is even named after him.
Not a doctor but I have seen a neurologist for migraine before and my understanding is that migraine causes a pretty unique constellation of symptoms. If someone has repeated episodes of moderate to severe throbbing one-sided headache that builds up over 1-2 hours, lasts 4-72 hours, is intensified by physical activity, is lessened by lying in a dark quiet room, and causes nausea, sometimes vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound then they almost definitely suffer from migraines. Because pretty much nothing else causes that combination of things. Sort of a "looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck" situation, if you will.

Of course the experience isn't exactly the same for everyone - personally the headache I experience during a migraine isn't throbbing, but it is very much one-sided and concentrated behind my eye (which is common for migraines). But I think basically from the diagnosis perspective, if connecting the dots (symptoms) results in a picture of a duck (migraine), then it is a duck. If connecting the dots doesn't result in a duck picture because there aren't enough dots, or if connecting some of the dots creates a duck picture but there are left over dots that don't connect - that's when from the doctor's perspective further work up might be needed because it's not clear what the cause is.

For me at least, how I distinguish between other headaches and a migraine is that with migraine the headache is just one of the reasons I feel terrible. It's similar to having a concussion in a lot of ways and more severe migraines can be a little bit like having the flu as well. I'm kind of dazed, struggle to remember things, and trying to think feels akin to running on sand. Sometimes music starts to sound like random noise without any musical quality. Beyond just physical activity making the headache worse, I feel physically weak and tired. During more severe migraines, I often experience rapidly alternating chills and hot flashes. Sometimes NSAIDs will help with only the headache and, even though my head doesn't hurt that much anymore, sitting upright can still be unbearable. Merriam Webster defines malaise as "an indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health" and that's the best description I can come up with for the feeling of having a terrible migraine even when the headache itself is better. All in all, during a migraine I get the distinct impression that my brain is not functioning properly.

If a lot of that resonates, then you're probably also experiencing migraines. And if not, then that's the difference between what you described and migraine. "Cervicogenic headaches" also might be a thing that can cause headaches similar to a migraine and sound kind of like what you're describing. But I believe there's some debate in the medical community about whether migraine-like "cervicogenic headaches" are actually a separate condition or if it's just a way that migraines can present.

> You might have been better off not having dwelt on what was in their deepest thoughts, as long as what was in their deepest thoughts did not result in you getting arrested for no reason, getting killed by the very people who you thought existed to protect you for no reason, your kids not getting accepted in the schools, or after school programs they deserved for no reason, etc.

But it doesn’t, right? Asians are one third as likely to be incarcerated as white people, half as likely to be shot by the police, and overrepresented in elite schools. Teaching my Asian kids that “white supremacy” is working them is absurd.

> It’s amazing to me that brown people, like myself, who do really well in this country relative to most minorities, live to pretend as if they should just be the model minority without realizing that the only reason they can is because of all the blood sweat and tears spilt by the minority, often black, activists before them.

This thread is about my Asian kids. Black people face unique barriers, and they should educate their kids as they see fit. But people shouldn’t project that experience onto Asian kids, or assume the same solutions should be applied to Asian kids.

> If victim culture exists on a racial basis in the US, it exists almost entirely within the majority community

There are just a handful of countries in the world where foreigners can come and be more successful than the natives, and the US is one of the few. The majority seems to have done a pretty great job building a welcoming society.

> which shows that there’s absolutely no evidence that discussing real victimization causes a sense of victim hood amongst victims.

This article is about precisely that!

> In fact, there’s good reason to believe that understanding that the racism they face might be systemic both allows the victims of the racism to not feel like victims anymore, but instead look for ways to succeed despite it

Generations of Asians who grew up and succeeded in the US without being taught about “systemic racism” proves that it isn’t necessary.

I feel like it's only going to get worse. California has a good number of problems: housing costs, traffic, wildfires, homelessness, ... and the high tax rate you pay for the privilege of enjoying them. But I haven't seen California take meaningful steps to solve any of these. We're still in the stage of "problems are getting worse", and any solutions will take a long time to materialize.

I grew up in California. It's still a great place to live if you're rich or if you bought property in a good location a long time ago, but if neither of those are true, you're going to have a huge uphill battle. Most people in my millennial friend groups, including me, have all talked about how we'd like to leave. We're mostly still here because our families are here and good jobs are easier to find. But each year, one by one I see people I know flee to other states.

The issue I see it that Linux distributions generally build software from source on their own CI. This means that their telemetry data won't reflect Linux users habits and hence be useless at best or detrimental in the worst case to the decisions made using said incomplete telemetry.

Trust me, I REALLY do not want most of the features that people trying to shove on me with JavaScript. Continuous scrolling is a wonderful example. My experience of continuous scrolling is that I can't find where I saw something with a search, because the text literally is not there to be found. I also have no idea how far I really have to go. And there is a good chance that the person who implemented it will fail to create proper URLs.

In general when I see people recreating browser features (like display layout) using JavaScript, they do a strictly worse job of it than what is already built in to the browser. Most JavaScript therefore makes my life worse.

But there are things that can be done which are not possible any other ways. Interactive games, live chats, the scrolling in Google Maps and so on. They can be great. But far too often, they aren't. :-(

Don't Strawman and generalize - provide an argument relative to this context, if not then the merit of your argument stops by simply changing the content. For example if we were to insert Hitler now your generalized argument looks ridiculous because of course the problem is that people agreed with Hitler.

When a person's opinion is based on literal fabrication of information, based on soley on belief, and is irreconcilable with the truth, yes, the problem is absolutely with them and parties involved.
>Yet, we insist in the feel good model of donations for reuse, or only for the tax write-off.

You do realize that even with the write-off, making a donation is still strictly net negative from a finance point of view[1]? If you donate $1000, your bank account contains $1000 fewer dollars, but you don't get back $1000 in tax credits. It reduces your income by $1000, which roughly translates to a benefit of $1000 * [your marginal tax rate].

I don’t think you’re wrong, I’m personally part of the problem. I just think you’re barking at the wrong tree. Focus on the incentives and what make people move here and leave so quickly. If prices and safety were better people would want to stay and improve what’s around them.

> But you can configure it yourself by <link-to-documentation>...

The two first comments of the maintainer in the thread mentioned the configurability of alacritty, giving soft hints that maybe the user should just set it privately to comfort their private taste. I feel that discussions about taste choices can sometimes be the most tiring ones, because often people have different tastes and you can't give rational arguments why you like one taste more. That's why there is configurability in the first place, maintainers recognizing that people have a diversity of personal tastes. You can't ever do it right by everyone. Maybe the maintainer should have communicated that better more early on, but they did communicate something along those lines later on. They were still around to explain themselves.

Children who grow up spending the majority of their time in school are raised by their peers, rather than by productive adults. They look to each other for behavioral and moral cues. I have found that students from classrooms are, on the whole, rude, lazy, arrogant, cruel, apathetic, jealous, dishonest, narcissistic, anxious, and depressed.

I admit that their ability to not embarrass themselves among their peers is greater than those who are homeschooled or from experimental private schools, and their traditionally-schooled biting, ironic sarcasm is unmatched among the more naive non-schooled population. Traditional schoolchildren are also much better at taking instructions, falling in line, acquiescing to the wishes of their superiors, and bearing assaults on decency and freedom without complaint.

I made it through 12 years of public school and am extraordinarily "well-socialized", and I am disgusted by what it took to make me that way. It's only now that I've been out of school for about a decade that I've finally started to turn into a human being.
> It's not something a lot of users are aware of -- they often think they've bought an ASIC-based router! -- but essentially all of the big vendors entry and mid-level devices are software routers, and they're even trying to figure out how to sell their NOS experience on whitebox hardware without undercutting their branded hardware.

To be fair [to you], my original claim is a bit of a tautology as I don't really consider software/CPU based CPE gear to be 'real' networking.

I should be more specific. High radix switches/routers are, unequivocally, not built out of CPUs and software, period. To the point of the original discussion, these concentration points are the only place that byte order overhead would be significant. Others in this thread claim it's not significant even in CPU implementations due to optimized instructions, but I personally can't opine on that.

i.e. the original sin that gave us this problem in the first place.

It makes absolutely no sense to have the older, wealthier, luckier, "I got here early, therefore I'm set for life" generation pay $300/year, while the couple in their thirties who moved in two years ago, have a new baby, and can barely afford the mortgage and daycare despite both parents working in tech have to pay nearly $15,000/year.

I know the original argument for prop 13 was about how awful it was for poor little old ladies to lose their houses, but that is by far not the common case, and this level of inequality, stealing from the young to give to the old, is completely insane.

One way or another, this has to end.
