It seems that most driving in city streets by individuals is largely unnecessary: items can be delivered (by EV) instead of picked up and commuting can largely be electronic. Long term, it seems that the most important use case for the personal vehicle could end up being long distance travel.
Having myself used some no/low-code tools (service-now, mendix, outsystems), I do think they are the future, but...
I think they suffer from their business model, which often aims complete vendor lock in to milk their customers as long as possible. This is currently their only way to earn back the hard invested money of developing such a tool.

We need a, open source, community driven, no-code tool.

Using existing tools I often suffered from these things:
- closed source.
- expensive monthly fees.
- Any apps build with it are not really property of the developer, but are intellectual property of the low code tool corp
- either bad ux ui or not horizontally or vertically scalable
- Datamodel, Algorithm or business logic can not really be extracted from the low code platform.
- You now need to become a specialist in this low code platform. These low code platforms outdate faster then the typical programming language.
- The best developers look down on it so you get "lesser" developers.
- If a feature is not available in the low code platform then you are stuck.
- If there is a real bug in the low code platform you are screwed because you now need to open a ticket, but the engineer looking at the ticket is more help-desk then engineer. The majority of tickets they solve are from dummies not understanding the platform and they assume you are one of them. Will take several months to convince them it was a bug and was never solved during the time I was on the project (2 years).
- You cannot run it on premise, unless you have deep pockets
- They have non or terrible git integration. Or other collaboration problems.
- Due to their dynamic nature are often slow in performance.
- Corps HR department runs a different low code platform then their finance department and now it becomes a political shit show.

Terrible situation when you grow beyond the low-code platform and need to move away from it.

If we can send 4k over a cable it also has the bandwidth to handle 3 screens at HD.

I am not sure that there is a phone that can do that though. I can plug my Android into my USB-C dock and it can display a copy of the screen on the screen, but that is about it. Doesn't even seem to work with the USB keyboard I have plugged in.
A lot of comments are about migrants. But there is a bit more to it. Most of this violence steems from gangs. And most of the actors are young men. And many are born in Sweden. But there are usually no problems with the young girls who are usually able to make very good results in the education system. Whereas the young boys have problems in school and end up in gangs. So part of the problem is how young boys are raised in families with "non-western" background.

This could likely be the reason for poor IPv6 support but highlights the importance of shifting (much more) to domain based reputation. If a domains reputation is at risk, you can bet domain holders will be extremely careful not to allow outgoing spam.
So does Hetzner itself. Each tiny 3€/month cloud instance has a public IPv4 by default and no way to opt out.

I just wanted to add a comment about your muscle bulk comment. Protein in protein shakes is usually denatured or rather just a collection of amino acids.

Proteins that are synthesized by the body have a structure to them and Prions are simply misfolded representations of those proteins.

The process of destroying a Prion involves denaturing it by removing its structure.

I don't believe that muscle tissue is anymore related to Prions or structured proteins than any other part of your body as the protein that we eat is simply amino acids or building blocks for creating things like tissues.

It does beg the question though, could some of the advancements by DeepMind help us understand how to unfold Prions more effectively than using Bleach.
> tech is not really controversial

Unless it is a topic about Rust and how it is better or worse than C++.

Try to make a claim C++ is better, and nobody is going to read your bullet point explanations, you just get tons of downvotes.

(I'm not claiming anything is better or worse in this comment, I only present an example.)
Or it is a sign that if something is this complex, perhaps you shouldn't be doing it in the language to begin with. AKA, a code smell.

Bash is tiny, flexible, and highly effective at what it was designed to do: shell scripting, which is effectively user OS commandline automation.

It would be akin to me complaining that my microwave doesn't actually prepare a dinner for me, it just heats things up.
Lots of people self-host their email, it works fine. The worst problem I've encountered is graylisting delays. Sometimes Gmail will throw a fit, but that's true whether you're originating from @icloud.com or from @yourtinydomain.com.

A couple years ago I did some superficial analysis on the domains of the registration emails our customers were giving us. I don't remember the details, but IIRC only about 80% of them were connected to one of the big providers (google, apple, qq, microsoft, yahoo(!), etc).

>Why won't academia flush out these types of people?

Because this behavior is part of human nature. Do you think scientists as a class are are somehow exempt from this, say, by some form of rationalistic purity?
That's actually not true, you significantly underestimate the weight and space requirements of batteries necessary for long range EVs. There was just a comparison by heise.de of the Mercedes Eqa and GlA [1] and in comparison of space they write that the more EV the less space, i.e. ICE>PHEV>EV
The problem is local governments are not competent enough to do so...and even if they figure out how to do so it's at a large multiplier of the cost of any major ISP.

>You need to have a commenting system.

Why? Lots of successful blogs don't have comments and there is a good argument to be made that comments make a blog worse, not better.
Not so.

Reddit's system works that if a post get 1000 upvotes and 500 downvotes (66% liked), it will be scored worse than a post than gets 10 upvotes and 0 downvotes.

Basically what it does is penalize controversy, which is the perfect decision for a website that is about mining the most humorous and widely-liked response.

Anything that is 51% liked and 49% disliked (e.g. political individuals mentioned in a non-political thread) gets bombed to the bottom almost immediately, which is exactly what most redditors want.

The other brilliant thing it does it let the user adjust this prioritization if they so desire.
Ah that's interesting. Thanks for sharing. Here's a good visualization as well. That looks pretty indisputable.

https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

"The raw death count helps give us a sense of scale: for example, the US suffered roughly 360,000 more deaths than the five-year average between 26 January and 3 October 2020, compared to 209,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths during that period."

The Covid death counts may be correct or a even little lower than expected then.

Further confirms my thoughts that I would not like to be an 80 year old with two co-morbidities around Covid.
Well, more precisely: Lawmakers will do absolutely nothing until a combination of a sufficient number of organized voters and pissed off businesses being discriminated against decide that lawmakers need to do something or be replaced by those who will... then, quite suddenly, government becomes very efficient. Amazing how that works.

To me, it seems the downsides generally outweigh the benefits, but I totally agree that its something people need to individually weigh up the pros and cons.

This isn't true at all.

If it is valid criticism of something you have said that is incorrect or have done wrong, the adult way to deal with this is not to get upset but take the criticism on board, improve and move on.

If the criticism is nonsense you should disregard it as such and forget about it or in my case laugh at it.
Everything would be solved if we just made ipv6v2 which is ipv4 but with longer addresses.
I guess you are from the US?

Local loop unbundling [1] is a regulatory method to "utility-ize" ISPs by forcing the infrastructure owner (usually big telco companies) to allow competitors to use the infrastructure.

Here in UK LLU seems to be working reasonably well, as least in terms of value for money. My Internet bill is 25 pounds (~35 dollars) per month and from chatting with my colleagues in the US, I'm under the impression that this is quite cheap by US standards. It happens to be the same as my limitless 4G data subscription. You can get cheaper rates if you have a long-term subscription; I used to pay 15 pounds per month but now pay more after switching to a monthly subscription.

In the US LLU regulations also exist but according to some discussions I found [2] its implementation was sabotaged by the big carriers and the FCC did not manage to enforce it and gave up.

Gotta be some of the most terrifying technology imaginable.
This! I don't see any reason for _internal infra_ to use IPv4, if it's under your control. At least AWS lets you have "private" IPv4's only. (Dunno about the situation with GCP or Azure, happy to learn about that.) But I'd gladly set up my stuff in IPv6 and expose only the endpoints in IPv4.
> I thought my customers needed one thing (a fancy database), when they actually needed something entirely different (importing and exporting from Excel sheets). I made a rough prototype of the software as a first pass, with no backend data system, showed it to teachers, and got some feedback. This saved me hours and hours of work on a product feature that nobody but me actually wanted.

It may be worth noting that SQL and Excel are not necessarily mutually exclusive choices as the backend database:

1. The customer's requirement of being able to import/export from/to a spreadsheet document is a problem of interopability, rather than the choice of storage medium. Thus, you could as well just make use of your go-to database solution and implement synchronization separately—either by using RDBMS as the primary source or using it only for indexing/durability purposes—and the customer would still be happy.

2. Some spreadsheet softwares like Excel and Google Sheets allows you to query spreadsheet data in SQL (e.g. Microsoft ODBC) or some SQL-like language (e.g. Query Function). That said I haven't actually used them in practice, so I cannot guarantee how well it goes with actual pre-formatted or semi-structured data found in many spreadsheets.

Interopability allows a system to be complemented by the environment composed of other existing systems. The system might not need to interop, but only if it could satisfy every need originally served by pre-existing systems for the user. In general it's best not to assume which database backend should be used as the source of truth (cache or indexing is okay) if you are not the one in control of the data.
But... are we pretending here that the ICE and gas & all the plumbing etc don't weigh anything? It's not like PHEV have zero additional dead weight.

A quick search says "Car engines can weigh up to 1,000 pounds" and "Tesla S has a massive battery weighing 1,200 lbs" - so, are your really saving that much weight with PHEVs?
> Actually, looking at the article itself, I'm surprised how little there is here. It comes in just under 900 characters, it fits in 4 tweets.

You're wrong about this, by an order of magnitude. It's 8,640 characters. I can only guess that maybe you have some malfunction of an adblocker that cut yours off after the first paragraph?
The saving grace is that your exhaust doesn't go directly into the bloodstreams of children, likely most of the lead ends up at other places on earth.
FWIW, I agree and I hear both what you're saying and what @crazy_horse said. My perspective is coming from having lived through that perceived difficulty and hesitancy and come out the other side. @crazy_horse isn't there yet. I was terrified of downvotes early on, and I admit sometimes they still bother me. One of the reasons HN gates the downvotes, I believe, is so that you have time to go through the process of introspecting and reflecting on how you're handling yourself before you start reacting negatively to others.

For me, it actually changed my mindset before I had access to the downvote button. The result is that I think more carefully about how I phrase things, and also that I've never used the downvote (at least not intentionally, but it's easy to fat-finger these teensy buttons on mobile devices) because I remember how it made me feel, and because upvotes are usually enough to percolate the good stuff upward. Having said that, I've seen a lot of cases over the years where the downvote button did good things to a thread, it often does a good job of sorting by relevance and helpfulness, it often lets people know when they're getting out of line, and for me personally it helped me be a better commenter. But I first had to get to the point where I admitted I had room to improve, and that took time and some downvotes.

Lately I've been thinking about changing my personal policy and using the downvote button every once in a while, because over time I can see some of the upside to the downvote. So far though, I've often been glad that other people do it so I don't ever have to.

1 through 3 (I rarely encounter 6 and never 9) are baked into most OS installers and can be done once then saved as a VM or Docker image to be cloned. That level of pedantry is akin to saying "To compile the project applepie.io from scratch you must first create the universe."
I feel for Émilie. Those must have been tough years.
I (possibly wrongly) apply the reverse of the “$100 note on the ground” parable to no-code tools.

If a toolchain that allows to deliver fully functional software of appropriate complexity without writing code was even remotely feasible, Apple/Microsoft/Google would have already been pushing hard each for their own take on it.

Considering the immense upside for whomever of the big tech that manages to do it first, and that they can throw much more resources at it than the best-valued SV unicorn, presumably they’ve tried (probably more times than we know); and presumably what they’ve found is that at a level of no-code tool sophistication where it’s good enough it becomes indistinguishable from programming—so they’re trying to attract more people into software engineering instead.
I really wonder how Toyota missed the mark here so widely. I'm an idiot, and I saw their lack of entrance into EV as a huge failure.

I recall them a couple of years ago being boastful about how they were not interested in playing in the EV space, it just seemed very personal.
We used up 256 /8 blocks in roughly three decades. That's roughly 9 per year. Even if we are more conservative now, freeing up a /8 here or there will not significantly change the situation. 32 bits are woefully inadequate no matter how you slice them.
Sure.

And what party are you trusting for your insurance?

In which country?

And how can shares take one week to convert? My broker has a deposit account in a
German bank, it takes 1 click to convert. The button's name = buy/sell.

I'm not sure if i have ever encountered a problem. I can use methods outside wire transfer to have additional funds deposited immediately.

And the shares on Defi aren't exactly shares, are they. I wouldn't touch a bank that does this and calls it "shares".

As said before, it doesn't solve any problems.

Ps. In case you didn't knew. Knowing the country is important for potential legal action ;)

Now tell me, what country is Binance located. They are one of the biggest in DeFi ? :) And how trustworthy are the "stable coins" backing the different DeFi protocols? :)
There's an easy solution to that though. You redistribute all the money from a carbon tax back to the people, either equally to everyone, or better, based on income.

We already know that wealthy people generate the most carbon. If that activity was taxed and then the money was given to poorer people who can't afford to transition to clean energy, it would still be a net win, because it will reduce emissions while making sure it doesn't unfairly affect the poor.
TL;DR: Aside from clarifying what the terms "public utility" and "common carrier" mean, the article's main argument is that Google's customers are the advertisers, not the visitors to its search engine, and that there's no reason to expect them to treat all advertisers equally.

But then he goes to the HN endorsed point of "lab leak" hypothesis.
Even back in 2019, without federal incentives, people were walking out the door with new Bolts under $30k (including tax and registration). It’s more than possible - it’s already happened. The problem is that most Americans buying new vehicles don’t want an EV hatchback - they want either a Tesla or a non-EV SUV.

You're right. It could've been used as a false dichotomy, but that was an uncharitable reading of the comment. I do disagree that it's a good counterpoint. It relies on a completely unsubstantiated claim that people with these kinds of upbringings turned out just fine and have no lasting issues because of it.
This is a silly article. Add downvotes, don't add them -- it doesn't address the polarization issue he identifies.

Many things can be and used to be individual choices and not societal issues open to debate (and mutual hatred). If you refuse to accept that, then everyone who doesn't make your choices becomes your enemy.

I'm not lamenting the bygone days, since they sucked in numerous ways. But they did contains a kernel of truth, in that shrinking the size of public discourse is the only way to keep it civil.
