It's nowhere as clear-cut as you try to portray it. First of all, there are differences among primates, how are these hierarchies structured and some of it is also, surprisingly, cultural. (Look for example at work of Robert Sapolsky.)

I for example believe that hierarchies are a cultural artifact of civilization, not a biologically inherent human value. The inherent human value is deference to authority, which is useful to maintain existing order and generational memory (and is the basis for what we typically call "conservative"). In tribes of 300 people or so, the hierarchies are easily challenged. In a civilization of 1000s of people, with incomplete information, this is much more difficult.

(That being said, I think there are individuals who do not share typical human values, and try to subvert those for their personal benefit. So these individuals might subvert the value of deference to authority to create a hierarchy from which then they personally benefit. Just like existence of somebody, who might always take and never give back, doesn't invalidate reciprocity as a typical human value.)

And in fact we increasingly live in a world where everybody is a member of multiple independent social hierarchies, and these apply situationally (and it's not even clear they are always needed). This really strains the claim that humans inherently favor hierarchies (which there should be only one), rather than just simply defer to authorities (which might be multiple or even chosen by each individual independently).

The crux of the Tor project was all about herd anonymity. Your traffic blends in with millions of other Tor users. Unfortunately global passive surveillance, flooding the network with malicious nodes and targetted exploits of the browser and OS mean that very strong anonymity is still not possible, even with a relatively 'extreme' solution like Tor.

Pegasus Spyware: Does Apple Have ‘Major’ iMessage Security Problems?
I actually said that because last night I had a revelation. In my software now I want to move slow and don't break anything. That's a more healthy philosophy, I think. It doesn't mean the software is fat or slow -- quite the opposite. The code is better and cleaner because I'm not in a race to make a big tall tower, I'm perfecting a craft to build a perfect cabinet.
YES!!! I had the displeasure of having to use one with those exact shit touch controls for a bit less than a year and it made me so furious I swore to never use an induction stove again. The thing was absolutely impossible to control and even when you managed to dial it in, it was unresponsive as hell so I found myself moving the pot between two coils to avoid spewing pasta all over the kitchen.

Any ML can have schemas and JSON does, I don’t know what you’re talking about. What you describe is all just about support from tools, which JSON has plenty now.

The advantage that a ML can have over another is how easy it is to:

- parse by the machine
- read and edit by humans

Also useful but less so:

- esoteric features like cyclic dependencies
- size

Not specifically software design, but insofar related books that take the perspective of programmers with unique insights:

- Coders at Work (Seibel)

- Working in Public (Eghbal)

The first one is very entertaining. Read it a couple years ago and found it gives some valuable perspective. The second one is on my reading list, it was recommended around these boards.

Related to software design, there are many. The two that are on my recent list are:

- Software Design for Flexibility (Sussman, Hanson)

- A Philosophy of Software Design (Ousterhout)

I can't comment personally on their content yet, still have to work through those two, but I have zero doubts to learn something valuable. Certainly consider them.

Rent control will reduce construction, since investors become anxious about the prospects of their return on investment.

> We need to get rid of the residential condo Rent Control exemption. Most people will never make enough to afford one, even you tech guys.

That's a myth. The price is high because "some" people can afford it. By limiting the price using Rent Control, these "some" people become "lucky first renters" instead of the people who "got the most cash".
> How do you not end up with a censorship department of the government, that is tasked with writing moderation rules?

That already exists: governments already have laws limiting some forms of speech e.g. copyright infringements or pornography. Obviously corporations that want to stay in business have to obey the laws.

> "the idea of free speech in modern liberal democracies"

As I've already pointed out, all states already have laws limiting speech. Maybe I think there should be more such laws; maybe I think there should be less; but either way it's orthogonal to whether I want FB to have power to control what I can say and hear.

If my government passes laws that I don't like, citizens can vote them out at the next election. I can't vote Zuckerberg out, he's an undemocratic locus of power.

> It probably wouldn't be called a censorship office, but that's what it would be: a government office determining what can and can't be posted on social media.

As I said, such laws already exist.

> Do you have any other way to implement your idea of forcing Facebook to show you the feeds you subscribe to?

Yes, require all social media apps to provide interoperability though ActivityPub and similar protocols. Make sure there are no legal or technical impediments to people running social media servers (Mastodon etc) on their own hardware though their home internet connections.

What I actually want is a world where people don't care whether FB censors things, because it doesn't matter as people can and do use other means to communicate. So FB censors stuff and no-one notices because it has no practical effect. That is, a world where FB is stripped of their power.

The DNC talking points on this issue were schizophrenic as hell.

At first they said the most damning thing in there was recipes.

Then they said it cost them the election.

But they refused to say which leaks were responsible.

Then they claimed the swing voters they lost believed in pizzagate as if it were a mainstream conspiracy theory believed by many and that all the swing voters were therefore complete idiots.

Also if you're going to blame a conspiracy theory that was conjured out of thin air the leaks really didnt actually matter. An equally stupid pretext could have been invented, so why say they cost you the election?

So, according to them the leaks both cost them the election and didnt matter in the slightest.

If you think about all this for just a second it logically doesnt make any goddamn sense but people still parrot it. Those same people will instinctively hit that downvote button.

Nah, the most comicbook supervillain event was the fricking New York Times publicly hinting that if the vaccine was approved before the election because enough evidence was found that not doing so would definitely do more harm, they'd push the narrative that it was only approved to help Trump win and that people shouldn't trust its safety, effectively undermining safety in the vaccination program just to make sure Trump lost. All the other morally and scientifically dubious attempts to delay approval mostly seem to be downstream consequences of that.
As someone who has just installed a new kitchen, I can attest this. My wife insisted on a couple gas hobs as the taste is "better" / "different" whereas I just wanted electric.

The compromise was a mixed solution. You can get pretty good looking mixed cooking surfaces with 4 electric hobs for things like boiling, and 2 gas hobs for where we think it makes a difference (mainly wok style, some teas, and frying).

This has the added benefit of giving us a back up should anything happen with the power supply. Also feel like at least we're moving in the right direction enviromentally.

Having read the article though - I wish the end result had been different. The gas industry usingt his as a "wedge issue" sounds about right.

p.s. Am using Siemens and touch controls are fine.
The disruption isn't that big, if you don't own a stove and don't cook in your home.

For the rest of us, it would be an enormous disruption. If we were forced to get rid of gas stoves, the individual and aggregate economic cost would be huge.

And while you might get used to an induction stove, nobody gets used to an electric one - those things really are rubbish.
So they might say "we don't want $X type of content on our platform, as it would negatively affect our product identity".

But that's in fact a moral judgement! It's saying "some people think $X is bad, and we agree with them (or at least choose to pretend to so as not to soil our image)".
"Only a return to realism can provide a stable definition of woman, the requisite ground for effective feminism." Great, then let's keep the definitions of sex and gender as they are and stop trying to 'suggest' there's a greater problem.
> 60% of that energy is lost in conversion

However, unlike for a home gas boiler where the efficiency is maybe 90%, direct efficiency for gas stoves is poor. Basically you set fire to the gas, the fire is near the pans you're using for cooking, so they get hot. It's simple, but it is not at all efficient. This also produces waste CO2 (and some CO but hopefully not much), which is poisonous although not that poisonous, right where you are standing, whereas your gas boiler vents the waste gas to the outside air.

In contrast induction has much better efficiency and of course produces no poisonous gases itself (though cooking foods does release a variety of volatiles you shouldn't really breathe, especially pan frying)

So while "Burn gas in your home" to heat water is definitely a net efficiency win over "Burn gas in a power station, ship the electricity to your home, then use that" to heat water, the same does not follow for stoves where I suspect it's either a wash or a small win for electricity.
Personally, as far as complaints about stuff goes, I think that insinuating everyone else is smelling their own farts is pretty nonconstructive and sounds a lot like flame-bait. I do agree that HN can be irrational and cynical at times, but I’m afraid if this is your reaction to what you may feel is unfair criticism, HN is simply not the problem. It would be difficult to participate in any forum, and many of them, in my opinion, do not feel as well-moderated as HN.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the M1 Mac. I just think it will probably be fine without a defense force to flame people for making what may be seen as unfair criticism. It is the flagship computer of a trillion dollar company.

The author just recently got contacted (again) by Cuban activists. In the face of internet shutdowns they, like Iranian activists before them, Indian and Colombian activists, are looking for networks that work off the grid. SSB isn't there yet. It leaks too much data at the moment. But the need is there. And if these people find it useful... we'd never know. That's the nature of these networks.

Hello, Design Lovers!

Hope everyone doing supper well. 3 months ago we launched a design platform on product hunt with 12000+ design resources https://www.uihut.com

Need suggestion for future resources

Our resources

1000+ Web Templates, Blocks (Figma, Sketch, XD)

2500+ Illustrations (Figma, Sketch, XD)

8000+ SVG Icons

500+ Mobile App Screens (Figma, Sketch, XD)

100+ UI Assets for Web Application (Figma, Sketch, XD)

We are designing resources continuously. Also, we are going to add coded UI resources in a week. Primarily we are adding for web template HTML ( Bootstrap), for mobile app ( Flutter )

I need suggestions for you guys on which category and type of UI design/ coded resources will be the most helpful for our users. We are coming with lots of new resources.

A suggestion will be more than appreciated.

I mean... I think I know. There's a reason I never submitted any of my apps to HN. Submitting work here is basically requesting the harshest possible criticism from the smartest of your peers. That's what makes it so valuable. Arguably, anything that tinkers with that is diluting the site's value. You can count on it being intelligent / productive criticism, but nothing more. Maybe if people love it, HN could be a good pool for finding coders to help with a project. Investment? Users or googlers to tip a big corporation toward your service?? No way. This is a place to get your bubble burst and be ripped apart; that's what makes it great, it's how people grow. It's art school for grownups. I like to know I have the chance to speak with people smarter than me, and I'm a fan of hearing a harsh critique with lots of insight. That should really be the only thing people expect, if they're approaching this site for a review of their work. [edit] which is to say, HN users aren't and will never be customers. No one should launch a startup thinking that. HN users are good for only one thing: Telling you how your work could be better.
Webapps (or webapp frameworks) like Nextcloud and Django, come, by default, with SQLite. That makes it easy to start, but they all warn you: When you get serious, get a real DB like MariaDB or PostgreSQL... And with stuff like this I wonder, is this really necessary?

I really like SQLite, it's well supported in Python, backup-restore is very simple. What is the real difference (probably application depended) between SQLite and a "real" DB engine?

You put a tank outside or in your garage next to the water heater and a truck comes and refills it once or twice a year. You can use propane or natural gas.

Tens of millions of Americans living in rural and exurban areas have been cooking like this since before we were born. This is what we’d call a “solved problem.”

I will place the note about not writing shit code next to the one that says "don't be stupid".

I fully agree with the author though. While I like code golfing for sports, I hate if code is obfuscated. Especially if the language doesn't transport the logical meaning without you knowing how implicit type transformations are handled by compiler and parser.

Even if it is your own code, it makes maintenance much more difficult.

High tabs count are from people who don’t care to close tabs after they’re done or use them as a TODO list they never get to.

Browsers should default to closing unused tabs (after 30 days?) and I’m glad that’s possible now. If you haven’t seen a tab in a month chances are you never will.
They can just as easily be signals of corruption. I have a friend who owns a bar on a beach in Malaysia. He isn't willing to pay the requested bribes to the local cops, so every winter they douse it in gasoline and burn it to the ground. He rebuilds every year; it costs less than the bribes.
This is true. I struggle with the branding iron myself.

For me a big part of it comes from frustration that I (we, science) know the answer to things, and someone refuses to accept it.

We don't know everything of course. And most of the time the excuses use are illogical, paradoxical, or easily disproven, and yet the person refuses to understand that theatre wrong. Hence frustration.

I never feel frustrated if my child doesn't understand something or refuses to, because she's a child. But treating adults like children is condescending, hence frustration.

> The other side welcomes everyone and presents their ideas politely.

This is a huge problem. It's just like how people selling snake oil are fantastic listeners and make people feel welcomed and understood, just to sell them literal water disguised as medicine.

From the sources on wikipedia, an archive of the Vatican's actual list: https://web.archive.org/web/20120422064928/http://old.usccb....

Interesting because it includes a short description (presumably highlighting what makes each film special to the Vatican) and also the "U.S. Catholic Conference classification" for each film: https://www.usccb.org/media/movie-reviews/cns-mpaa-movie-cla...

The only unrated film on the list is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vie_et_Passion_du_Christ and the "highest" rating is an A-IV given to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8%C2%BD

My only question is who exactly at the Vatican compiled this list?
