> was mostly ephemeral (look at inflation in car/house prices).

It was driven largely by real estate appreciation. How do you figure that this is ephemeral?

Your second paragraph contradicts your first. America's policy in 2020 was decisively _not_ neoliberal, and was in fact one of the most generous in the world[1]. This is in part due to necessity borne of a smaller safety net than other OECD countries, but it's a huge mistake to interpret this as simply canceling out the scope of the fiscal action; at the very least, describing a government capable of specific spending bills at this scale and reach as committed to neoliberal orthodoxy is ridiculous.

Similarly, "neoliberalism" is an absurd description of an administration whose agenda is based on the increasing acceptance of steady-state gargantuan deficit spending (as we begin to cautiously accept that inflation is not appearing to nearly the degree we've feared for the last decade).

There's a large contingent out there engaging in a combination of wishful thinking and blind extrapolation of an outdated impression of USGov fiscal habits. It's a good fit for a post-truth world (I've lost count of the number of dumb friends who think that the extent of covid fiscal relief was a flat $600/1200 payment). But HN hasn't quite reached that level of disconnection with reality, so let's not steer it that way..

Have you read my original comment upstream? If not, please understand the position I'm coming from first.

My wife is a sex worker. She has been for five years, four of those together with me. Before I met her, I was a part of a community of sex workers I had known since I was in my twenties so add 5 years more of direct experience with the lives and minds of those workers. My friend who has worked as a domme for the last decade once called me "a friend to sex workers". I deeply care for the people who choose this profession. Ten years ago, five years ago I would say you were right. But I have seen the damage first, second, and third hand.

> It's not being put on a pedestal. It's being pulled up from the gutters.

There is nothing to "pull up". To touch it is to touch a viper that will bite and hold on until you let go. The vast network of clients, which I hear of every day objectifies, commits violence, and minimizes the humanity of the people engaged in sex work.

Yes, it is "by and large ugly and violent". Violent to the prostitutes who risk their lives every time they meet a client, violent to the peace and stability of the mind. Ugly to peel back the spectacled layer and discover the worst of ourselves: covetous, vain and brutal.

I do not make this observation as one uninitiated. I write with the weight of a decade of contact with these people I call my wife and friends.

It's easy to destroy something. But very hard to replicate its order and structure quickly, status quo ante.

This is why conservatives exist: they know this so their position is: "Think this plan through 3-20 more times first to make absolutely sure you know what you are getting into".

For some of us who'd spent time in the Middle East, we knew the invasion of Iraq was 1) based on bogus justification, and, 2) would end very badly. What actually happened was well within #2's range. And 100% predictable!
Yes, I don't really think any language solves this problem, just moves it around.

It's just an issue in general whenever the happy path includes optionality as a possible result, how do you then distinguish the happy path of getting a missing value, which you expect is a possibility given the use case, versus a bug to have set the value or have been provided the value or have queried for the value?

I think the only languages that reduce the scope of this problem are those where you can define non-nullable types. In that at least when you know for a fact your use case shouldn't have "missing" things, the compiler can catch those bugs. You can also handle this in Clojure with runtime assertions, albeit catching the bug a little later in development.

But for the times when optional is a real possibility, you still have this issue.

If you move to an explicit set of valid keys, it could be that something failed to assign them a value, etc.

Edit: I guess maybe something where the language simply has no null ever could work. Like say a field not yet assigned a value would have the value :unset, and so if someone doesn't provide a value for the field, you'd still set it, but with the new value :missing. Now technically you could distinguish a bug as `:unset` versus actually missing as `:missing`. I'm not sure this would work for dynamic use cases though, where like you don't know the full range of possibilities in advance. But if you do, you could check that nothing is `:unset` and if it is, you know there is a bug, otherwise it should be `:missing` or some other value.

Edit2: Ok, now that I played a bit more with what you said, I realized thay your solution is actually better then I thought, but it depends how you model things.

(get {:foo :missing} :fooo :unset)
;> :unset

(get {:foo :missing} :foo :unset)
:> :missing

If you model optionality as an explicit `:missing` value on a set key, like assoc the key `:foo` with value `:missing` to indicate that no value was provided for it. With the 3rd argument to `get`, you can now tell the difference between a bug or an actually missing value.

It does seem to require a bit of care, and I don't know if its just.moving the issue somewhere else, but it could be an approach.

I don't think this fairly characterizes the article at all. I mean, the article is an examination (oh, dear) of the similar conditions that seem to exist between contemporary America and China at the tail end of the Qing dynasty with the Taiping Rebellion and the eventual 1911 revolution.

And frequency/throughput. At peak hours, the Shinkansen can depart about every two minutes(!). I would regularly step into the train station five minutes before my departure. Or just buy a ticket at the station when I get there, with no reservation, since I know the trains come so often I won't have to wait long.

How long do you have to wait if you miss your flight? How certain are you of an on-time arrival? How early do you arrive at the airport, to make sure you'll catch your plane?
Spot on that I am bringing the national discussion around the California drought into context while reading the article.

On costs:
> Some California farmers who pay for the service, however, say it often provides a cheaper alternative to traditional methods, such as hiring a geologist or prospector.

> He planned to charge at least $1,400 for his visit. A geologist had quoted the same site at a minimum of $6,500

On desperation:

> (The Subtitle) Amid California’s drought, desperate landowners and managers are turning to those who practice an ancient, disputed method for locating water.

> His busy schedule is a sign of the desperation of ranchers, vineyard owners and land managers as California reels from a crippling drought that has depleted aquifers, shrunken crops and forced some farmers to sell off their water rights.

> “There are economic issues, personal beliefs and desperation factors going into the decision to try dowsing,” Ben Frech, a spokesman for the National Ground Water Association, said in an email. While the group understood that despair could lead to “exploring all options,” ultimately, he said, the method was a waste of time and money.

On the flip side, although one manager claims that they’ve never hired a geologist, they didn’t claim geologists “don’t know what they’re talking about”. Instead, they allude to the success of dowsers, which is later explained as a product of luck, the multitude of underground wells in California, and that “years of experience in the industry would also have developed a familiarity with the landscape”. I don’t think this is a case where vineyards and farmers are rejecting science, they’re welcoming what they see as a viable cheaper alternative to find water before they drill. It’s easy to read between the lines and think that these vineyard managers are the kinds of people who would reject science altogether, but that’s not in the article, it’s importing context.
D doesn't allow implicit narrowing conversions. The user has to have an explicit cast, like `cast(int) size`. Cast is made into a keyword so all those explicit conversions can be found with a simple grep.

We consider it best practice to try and organize the types such that explicit casts are minimized.

This is a fascinating, well-written, and collaborative take on an edgy and evolving subject. I'll give the TL;DR only to get you to read the whole thing: IP content has always been remixed forcibly by audiences and NFTs allow further modularization and monetization of that IP, creating a remix economy.

That dry summary leaves out the wonderful nuanced history these writers put in, so please do give them their due. But here's my concern. They're exactly right. IP holders will have to use future NFT platforms in order to monetize (forget control) their IP because it's going to appear on those platforms anyway. This is orthogonal to the way in which IP holders (from Loréal to the USPS) have been forced to embrace Instagram and TikTok -- or see their IP bandied about in public without any voice from the creator.

If this is the case, only big IP holders and big platforms will benefit from "remixing of Web2," as the OP cleverly puts it. The next TikTok and the next NBA TopShot(s) will win big and the little guys, the artists and the consumers, will be enslaved in another platform thing-y they just "consume" and don't control. So, decentralized centralization, here we come!

This reminds me of the HN post a few days ago in which the Doge coin creator now believes that crypto's endgame is further control from our blessed overlords. Ugh.

People think that Kubernetes is just for service orchestration and it's true, it's very good for that. But what really sets it apart for me is the ability to extend kubernetes through operators and hooks that enables platform teams to really start to abstract away most of the underlying platform.

A good example is the custom resources we've created that heavily abstract away what's happening underneath. The apps gives us a docker image and describe how they want to deploy and it's all done.

> it suggest that it’s just a matter of a hidden variable.

I disagree. Suppose that I create a machine that chooses which ball to place in each box. This machine makes the choice based on some measurement of a quantum particle (electron spin). Then the colors of the ball are entangled with the state of the quantum particle, which cannot be described by some local hidden variable.

Imagine you have a pouch with a red and a blue marble in it, then take out a marble without looking at it and hand the pouch to a friend. Later, if you look at your marble, you instantly have information about the other marble at a speed greater than the speed of light... but you couldn't use that fact to send a message.

The only difference in quantum physics is that there are actually two parallel universes: One in which you took out the red marble & one in which you took the blue one. You don't know what universe you're in until you look at the marble, but still it doesn't help you to transmit a message to your friend.

(This is assuming the "multiple universes" interpretation- In the other interpretations there is "spooky action at a distance", but this action happens in EXACTLY THE RIGHT WAY to prevent you from transmitting a message to your friend)
What pasabagi wrote is a very good summary of the situation, I agree with that.

As for how many people support the system it's impossible to say right now because people can't speak their mind anymore since Xi took power, it's gotten dangerous. Before when the internet was still relatively uncensored the majority of the comments regarding the government was negative. If it hadn't been they'd not have needed such a massive censorship apparatus in the first place, don't you think? Internet users were mainly younger people though. From my experience in real life I'd say it might have been about 50/50 support vs opposition. Not that it's in any way representative.

Neutron stars are governed by both gravitational and the strong force. [edited]

Quite different from ealier phases of stars which are held together by gravity.

> Also, the mix of particles is very different from an actual nucleus.

Which particles? The key difference vs an atomic nucleus other than the immense size is that the neutron star is not charged like an atomic nucleus, as most of the precursor star’s protons and electrons have fused into neutrons.

As someone who actually just finished a month trip from eastern Canada to the Yukon and back, and drove almost the entirety of the trans Canada highway, it’s laughable compared to the US road infrastructure.

There are large sections that are 2 way single lane highway.

There are parts of this “highway” that slow to 40km/hr as you drive through a small town.

I mean I’m glad it’s there, but I’ve also taken long road trips through states and found the interstates highways to be a big step up in quality.

Correlations only but no useable communication. You can both make a decision on the same random info that isn't determined until later when you are apart, but can't know anything other than that if they followed the plan they made their choice based on the same later-determined random info, correlated with your random info.

If they didn't follow the plan and measured orhogonal/same (can't remember which) spins, then your results are uncorrelated but you can't know until you meet back up (maybe barring superdeterminism that is also accessible to the individual).

I was working at Twitter when we learned this the hard way. We switched to a separate service for generating tweet IDs (instead of MySQL sequences), which for various distributed systems reasons meant IDs started taking up more bits. And when we stuck those bigger IDs into JSON responses in the API... well, we learned the dumbest lesson possible about the intersection between JSON, JavaScript, and double-precision floating-point. Later that day the "id_str" fields were born.

I think there has been a general rise in selfish behavior now that pandemic restrictions are being lifted. You have people who never took the pandemic seriously and now that things are back open, but are not the same, they are lashing out. That's one part of this.

I also think you have another camp, which I'll admit to being a member of. I did everything I was supposed to do. I stayed at home, used masks everywhere, took no trips, and had very few social engagements for more than a year - and it sucked. Now that things are open all I want to do is go out. Even though I know that I should lower my expectations, I can't help emotionally but feel entitled to having a good time now.

The thought rolling around my head is:
I did everything that was asked of me for a year and a half, I deserve to have fun now.

Two balls are a box. Neither are spinning. The box gets “shaken up” and the balls hit each other. We know that one ball is spinning clockwise and the other is counter clockwise because angular momentum spin is conserved. The balls launch far away from each other. We know the spin is entangled in that one is clock wise the other is counter clockwise but we don’t know which is which until we measure. How do we use that to communicate?
