>My point is that most property crimes are violence by the most common and widespread definitions

Don't be coy, which definitions? When someone in a coffee shop goes to the bathroom and their laptop is gone when they come back to their seat, where is the violence? Actual violence, not abstract "they murdered my trust in society" stuff.

I think if you're honest, you'd say that you prefer property crimes to be treated as violence.
NYC is better, but there is still to much sprawl there too.

The A train is < 40 miles, and Manhanttan is roughly in the middle, so subways commutes are less long.

There is nothing wrong with long regional rail commutes per-se, but the the problem is US "commuter rail" is set up so the richest surburbanites in the biggest homes drive for the rest of their lives (and are the worse green house gas emitters in the country), and just take transit to get to their 9-5 midtown office jobs.

This is bad for the environment, and regressive. Transit should serve all classes, and be paired with dense development around stations (think more flushings) so people living far out might have more room for kids, but need not rely on cars to any greater extent.

See https://pedestrianobservations.com/2021/03/09/the-hempstead-... and linked posts for plans about this sort of thing.
I see regulation as a last resort. Bigger government is rarely the answer. Social media is certainly exacerbating the mental health crisis, but I believe the smarter play is to better prepare our children for social dynamics, healthy communication, and emotional intelligence. I prefer to improve the people than to restrict their freedoms.
>how does this amaze anyone? how do people think backwards compatibility works?

That doesn't have anything with backwards compatibility. Nothing forces MS to stick to old ad-hoc memory dump format. Neither there is anything that would suggest registry is deprecated, new Windows components keep using it and adding piles of junk into it.
I feel like this should be a bunch of files that are concatenated in the makefile, not one giant 10,000SLOC script. Otherwise it seems pretty organized and looks like it's following bash best practices.
This makes me wonder how you installed KDE. If it was by installing a single top-level package (e.g. kde-standard or maybe kde-plasma-desktop), then I would expect apt autoremove on that package to just work. (Unless you later manually installed more packages that shared some dependencies with the top-level package, in which case you would have to remove those as well.) APT distinguishes between manually-installed and automatically-installed packages for exactly this reason.

It also distinguishes config from other files. By default, it will keep modified config files when you remove packages. That way you don't accidentally delete the custom web site definitions that took you hours to create. You can use --purge to override this conservative behavior.

Debian's packaging system isn't the simplest, but I find it to be reliable, good at dealing with edge cases and failures, and extraordinarily well documented. It's part of why I switched to debian-based distros well over a decade ago.
I'm guessing something else needs to be imported first.

Speaking from experience, if you keep that up, your kids will break contact with you as soon as they are old enough. If you decide that your parenting style is “fuck off,” you can expect the same attitude from your kids towards you when you are older. Hope you are ready to die on this hill.

You're assuming things unreasonably, and in any case more privacy is good even if it's not total.
It seems like there are some cases where Windows accepts a password hash for authentication as a user though. So by having the hash of an administrator, you can escalate privileges.

I don't think there are such cases in Linux.
Or it's a simple distinction between what more resembles an RSS feed for people vs. traditional social media.

This reminds me of criticisms of "metoo". Yes, i'm sure someone somewhere got a raw deal. But as far as I can see the people banished deserve it, and the overall ecosystem is better for it.
>The user interface has been redesigned. Some of you will love it, some will hate it. You’re welcome and sorry.

This is great, except now all of the UI elements are at the top of the screen, which on modern large phones is very awkward, even with my long fingers. Looking over the github repo, it appears that I'm not the only one with this concern, and that the author isn't interested in making this configurable. Too bad, this is the only thing that is keeping me from upgrading Lineage, as the older version of K-9 will no longer work.

Anyways, thanks for all the hard work. Excellent tool.

This is from an actual economist, not some political hack, and links have been added to the underlying studies. Disparaging this for being originally a speech is intellectually lazy.
It can sure help, but then, as a company, you might want to find a way to avoid the regulation to keep the price low if that's what your customers care about.

Maybe some form of labelling could have a greater real impact: let the customer know what the real impact/cost of the product is, and let the customer made an informed decision.
This is totally anecdotal but I have 3 teenagers and I think the most important thing is keeping up with what's going on in their lives and taking an active interest in making sure they are emotionally equipped to deal with the problems that come up.

Teens are just people with very little experience dealing with their seemingly huge amounts of emotion so parents should help them process. We can't protect them from everything so trying to just hide the bad stuff is not going to work, folks will grow up without the tools to deal with it when things go wrong.

Keeping up with what's going on and jumping in when they get stuck, either because the situation is overwhelming, they don't have the proper tools, or they're just putting too much weight on their shoulders, is super valuable.

Unfortunately, with all of the pressures of daily life, combined with the struggles of folks in lower socio-economic environments, lots of people do not have enough time or surplus emotional budget to give it the proper attention, they're just trying to survive.
NASA's spending was near $5 billion in the mid 1960s. [1]

That's equal to $42 billion today per the BLS. NASA's fiscal 2021 budget is $23.2 billion. So while you're correct that Federal spending has increased as a share of the economy (declining NASA's share of spending even faster), NASA's funding is realistically down by at least half now vs then when you adjust for inflation.

That BLS figure is also the questionable official conservative take. Gold was $35 / ounce back then, it's around $1,800 now (51 fold increase). The average new car was near $3,000 in the mid 1960s, it's now $41,000. Oil was $3 / barrel in the mid 1960s, it's in the $70s now.

[1] https://history.nasa.gov/SP-4012/vol4/ch1.htm

- NASA's spending fell to $3 billion by 1974. Inflation adjusted that would be $17.5 billion today, so at least they're ahead of that.
One issue with today's world is desensitization. We have access to so much amazing content (games, movies, etc.) that we build really high tolerance.

For example, when I was young I was very creative. I could sit down and draw racetracks and imagine actually driving through them. Then I got Hot Wheels for GBA, and it was amazing. Then I got Mario Kart DS, and it was more amazing. But now when I look back at the games, with new games like Forza Horizon 4. they're so ugly and shallow, I have no idea how I got so much enjoyment out of them.

I see toddlers who are playing these colorful, impressive games on the iPad. I worry if they will even develop creativity in the first place, or if they will build such high desensitization tolerance, that they develop ADHD-like symptoms from just getting bored too fast.
Maybe instead of complaining, you can look it up yourself and contribute the data to this thread.

I think it's roaming fees that really get airports able to charge for wifi. 4G on my phone is already way more reliable than any airport wifi, and since within the EU it doesn't cost anything to use my data allowance while roaming, I never use airport wifi in the EU, it's only in the US I use it because there I have to pay €10/gb in advance for roaming data allowances.
I would say the bloat is too big. The difference between Android 2 and 9 is some fine grained permissions.UI is the same.
Space tourism: rockets emit 100 times more CO₂ per passenger than flights
I'm using an Android which has seen two battery replacements in ~5 years, and it still holds a charge for 2-3 days.

All apps I use in regular life (Youtube, Google Maps, Gmail, Signal, a shopping list, music player, virtual train ticket) run absolutely without issue. I'm sure they'd run at 30FPS more if I bought a new phone, but this is a tool, not a toy.

In fact, the biggest issue I'm running into is exactly what parent said. Thoughtless companies (like my credit card issuer) just build apps which could run on a phone from 2012 (basically just displaying my monthly credit card bill), but then make them unavailable on devices older than 2 years.
Did they attempt to take the analysis back in time to use the larger dataset of schools being closed.

I.e. Has teen suicide in America always been higher when schools were open always, or is this somehow unique to the extra closures?
Remember the wars between VHS and BetaMax, and VHS won because (supposedly) it allowed porn?

Well, now we could see the same thing happening. Oculus doesn't allow porn (because who in their right minds would watch it with their own personal Facebook ID tied to it, with cameras running and connected to the internet?). But a competitor that can dethrone Oculus isn't yet on the horizon. Where is our "VHS"?

This isn't a complaint. Just an observation :)
If the seller gets caught that is how it works

If the seller doesn’t get caught due to the purchasing methods and general routine OPSEC, then its just another example of the Fed reliably monetizing everything, meaning there will always be a buyer and everyone should sell more.
That might be a problem, but the big problem is that users of the system focus on consumer content such as movies and TV shows, and so people wind up seeding newer stuff or very popular stuff and as time goes by the number of seeds for older content goes down and the content gets lost, and there's little interest in seeding stuff from the 70s or 80s. Bittorrent is a bad way to archive anything long term because it is unreliable due to user dynamics.

Can some other system fix those dynamics and become a more robust way to archive data? Maybe. Or maybe the problem is due to how people think. I like to think though that a system where downloads are not tracked by seeders would be more conducive to archiving.
>what do these social networks need to do to make you quit using them?

They have apparently not done enough to warrant a mass exodus to greener, more privacy (and human dignity, intellectual honesty) respecting pastures. What's a few dozen PII data leaks, or misuse of the former information provided explicitly for authentication; or what's about massive poorly regulated if not ignored misinformation campaigns on such platforms, poorly automatized reporting systems but also manual trending manipulation et similia? And it may never be enough for some, otherwise it's a continuous slope of degradation that will continue unstopped until its momentum ceases by gradual abandoning of the platform, most likely in waves as every new controversy happens or becomes public.
Many companies will not have AI systems, the few that do will rent it just as they do with their other software. It is not free, no, and won't be.
That would only be true if it were 380 _unique_ contacts per person. Surely there is significant overlap from user to user.
The lock on my front door could probably be picked, but I still use it. Raising the effort required to do something can have a perfectly good ROI without being perfect. Same goes with reasoning and any other approach you might try to take (preferably in conjunction)
I've thought about this for a long time.

I grew up in a town that had a booming downtown strip for as long as I can remember growing up.

Then around 2008 you started noticing stores closing up.

Word on the street was that rent was just too high to make a profit, and a lot of the retailers who had been in the same store downtown for decades closed up shop forever.

Fast forward to today, all of those stores and more are shuttered... the rent is still too damn high... and the absentee landlords that own these buildings are actually rewarded with property tax benefits for keeping them EMPTY!

How crazy is that?

Some rich guy owns almost every single building downtown, is asking $75/foot, and gets property tax breaks when his buildings sit vacant... slowly smothering the downtown vibe with an air of death.

The value of his building's keep increasing so he doesn't care. He doesn't live here.

IMHO retail properties should be taxed MORE if they sit vacant for too long, and that increased tax burden should go up exponentially every year that the building sits vacant.

A vacant retail building should be the landlord's problem, not the town's.

You are literally using social media right now.

There is nothing people who have "quit social media" like to do more than virtue signal about the dangers of social media on more niche social media platforms. It gets a little tiring.
We need a national water grid, like the national power grid.
Ideally we should build enough public housing that rent control isn't needed, just as ideally we should have strong enough unions that minimum wages aren't needed.

But we fail miserably on both those counts, and denying the next best thing does not strike me as useful accelerationism.
AFAICT, no one really uses Twitter anymore, certainly not for actual interaction outside of influencers and streamers.

Instead, it’s become an easy billboard for companies to post their news. The alternative, of course, would be to make their own websites and post news there. However, it’s far simpler for users to search a company on Twitter than to guess around for their website URL on Google (god forbid you have multiple sites).
Picking out Boston to criticize transit options from airports seems an odd choice. The Silver Line is sort of a transit kludge (dedicated lane bus that, as noted, switches from electric to propane (?) at one point). And I guess the author is connecting from somewhere that requires changing lines. But you can literally see the airport from downtown and there is a transit option.

This is the wrong approach.

You must realize that every generation of youth from here on will face some unique challenges of their own, and the only way to overcome them is to help them tackle it head on and not let them become defeated by it. Attempting to time travel back to some simpler time is not an option. The simpler time is gone, and will never return. This is their life now.
> I remember growing up and the boogeyman was sexualized videos on MTV and violent video games

Ironically, I think that generation may have been more or less right about the imagery being a negative, but wrong about the mechanism by which it works on us negatively.

Sexualized imagery does not turn boys into rapists. But it does seem to promote body image insecurity, social status worries, and general anxiety, in those who see it, particularly those of the same sex, and where the person is seen as desirable to emulate. Violence in the media, also, probably doesn't make us violent. But it may well skew how accurately we estimate the likelihood of interpersonal violence. Quite a few studies hint at a link between how terrified someone is of being murdered and how much gory TV they watch, basically.

t;ldr: instead of turning us into sex-crazed impulsives like feared, it turned us into sex-hating neurotics.
Once I wrapped my head around when you can and can't use relative imports, I've been pretty ok with them. The think that irks me is whether they work changes based on where you've invoked Python from. `./bin/my_script.py` behaves differently from `./my_script.py`.

Coming from JS, that was a pretty frustrating realization.
I didn't post the comment in question, but I'm sure they meant nose. Look at the top of the screen where a maximized window's menu bar is located. Notice where your nose is located. Next look at the bottom of the screen where the taskbar is located, and notice where your nose is located. Most likely your head moved a little and therefore your nose moved.

Next look at the top of the screen and then without moving your head, look at the taskbar. You can do it, but try it several times and it will probably start to feel a little weird. Your head is likely to want to move a bit, and holding it still takes effort.

YMMV.
Not to mention that many people just aren't smart enough to evaluate risk and understand how to protect themselves in a pandemic. Just today I saw a guy on the metro wearing disposable latex gloves but no mask on the metro. He was obviously concerned about covid but had no concept of how it's transmitted. Some of the other PPE mishaps I've seen would be hilarious of they weren't so sad.
> That’s not unexpected. Suicide death rates (for which we have decades of reliable data) among teens and young adults predictably fall during summer months, and also in December—that is, times when schools are the least in session. So, what our graphs above show, an apparent inverse correlation between school closings and suicidal behavior, is not unique to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This is a great article. So much relevant commentary not just about airports, but also many facets of North American Life.
One example: where are they local diners? Airports, truck stops, malls, and suburbia. We are losing local food with character and flavour, instead submitting to greasy salty national chain stores.

Looks as if the Reddit title was shortened in a lossy way to meet HN posting length.

It was originally "What license should I use to prevent AWS e. al. from selling my open-source software as a service?"
If Facebook is cigarettes is HN alcohol ? Half joking, I often read about social media "detox" here on HN but at the same time HN is something like a social media platform that sucks more of my time than Facebook or Twitter. The only other platform I spend more time on is YouTube. I guess it's more to do with your tendencies than platform needing dark patterns.
Fun fact:

What is called 'sinsemilla' in the USA, a Spanish language expression, is known in Colombia as 'creepy', an English language expression.
That is for the renewal.

I suspect this varies by state, and I can't speak for other states, but in Ohio the initial driver license also requires: a knowledge test; vision screening; and a driving skills test consisting of two parts: (1) maneuverability, (2) on road.

Surprisingly I don't believe there is any updated vision test requirement on renewals once you have a valid license.
No, we can't replicate it because there is simply not enough description. For example, there aren't even specs for parts.

The entire thing would have to be re-designed from scratch with modern manufacturing process in mind.

And for things like F1 engine the available manufacturing methods have a lot of influence on the design, so the result will be basically a different engine than F1.

I'm not one of those people obsessed with shaming american infrastructure by using trains; I don't really care about trains. Instead I'll be the first to shame American airports. Many Asian airports truly put us to shame. Notably Changi, Incheon, Hong Kong, etc. Those airports are so delightful that pre-covid when I was flying I would deliberately choose tickets with a long layover just to relax in them.
If that’s what happens only because you set boundaries around social media there are far deeper failures already in place.
