> "There's not enough water here" is a very convincing argument to stop construction on new housing. Santa Cruz does the same thing as Monterrey as does Malibu.

I don't know details of the others, but in Santa Cruz water sources are limited to rivers and one small reservoir (Loch Lomond) which is getting low. Concerns about water availability are very real. Without rain all of these could dry up.

Look into info about Jane Street and other HTF firms' manipulation of OTC stock prices via dark pools, as well as abuse of the authorized participant status to use the ETF mechanism to naked short sell (not just index arbitrage). The liquidity that's being provided is at the expense of real price discovery and is being used to con retail investors.

If you search for "David Lauer interview", he's a former Citadel HFT that has spoken out about how the funds operating right now are a world away from the platonic ideal of market making you speak to.
I am unaware of any router forwarding IPv4 packets slower than IPv6 packets. Can you back up this claim with any sources?

Route aggregation or selection does not impact forwarding performance on a router.
As a counterpoint, I've enjoyed building VR on the web using C++ (with WebAssembly/WebGL/WebXR) and not having to touch the DOM or JS, see: https://twitter.com/nobbis/status/1425266634982248451

Benefits include complete control at frame and pixel level, being cross-platform (same code runs on web, iOS, macOS, Linux), and having access to third-party C/C++ libraries for 3D graphics.

> It's always the people closest to the piles of Gold that end up with all of the Gold.

Honestly it's a lesson I've taken in my career so far - those who are closest to the money flows get to siphon off the most for themselves. I'm by no means that close, but it certainly informs what I put myself forward for.

Does the difference in skill, effort and output justify it? No, and many of the people working close to the money are no better (or are often far worse) than people further away, being paid less. But people are willing to pay them more, because they are also close to the larger flows of money.

Interesting opportunity to rethink the model of "make billions and THEN do good by giving it back". It's the underpinning of this whole Gates/Buffet Giving Tree.

I love how MacKenzie Scott is just jumping in, giving away the money, make smart choices, pull the bandaid off and get to work. At this pace she'll give away all $60B in 7.5 years, assuming she doesn't speed up. I bet she's aiming for 2 years for 99%, so ~$52B next year. She's not trying to spend the rest of her life as a philanthropist, live beyond the grave, supplement government/tax failings, or have hospitals in her name.

To me it's not good enough to make billions and then do good. Do good every moment of every day. Make doing good your work. Or get out of the way.
So human nature is immutable? What's so special about human nature that makes it a constant while almost everything else is so clearly mutable. Heck we humans even observe changes on geological time scales...

> What’s preventing homeowners from buying and selling to each other directly? Why do we need real estate agents?

I wrote about this 8 years ago (was employed as a software engineer at a real estate brokerage at the time):

"I think that there are lots of marketplaces have sprung up via the internet, but as far as I know, the significant ones all offer products that have one of these characteristics:

* the consumer buys them often [for some definition of often] (airplane tickets)
* the product is fungible (books, cars)
* the product is relatively cheap (stuff sold on ebay, amazon)

All of these characteristics lower the risk of purchase. Housing has none of these characteristics. And I don't know how it could, short of a real manufacturing revolution or more houses built out of shipping containers."

Look up how the USA treated the Hmong after they pulled out of Vietnam. This is nothing new unfortunately, I hope the translators and workers made plans to get out on their own because it was virtually guaranteed that they would be abandoned when things got rough. As an American, I find it incredible that they got anyone at all to work with us.

> Notches are irritating people so much devs have to include option to make them less irritating.

No, I think they've always been optional. I quite like it - Android just puts the usual top bar up a bit higher than before, with the notch in the middle, and then the app just gets a big screen to occupy. Doesn't work so well in landscape mode, but I don't really use that.
This blog post just got me so excited. I've seen what Pine started with and now in my head I just keep thinking "keep going keep going!!" This is hopefully the kick in the pants the tech giants need, a small company slowly eating up even a tiny percentage of their sales and doing it with cheaper and completely open (and arguably better?) products.

I am mostly all-in on Apples ecosystem because I've been so continuously disappointed by the fragmentation on the Android ecosystem, and this is something that's seriously giving me a real hit of excitement!
20 years later and the Taliban has more land than they did as well as a much improved infrastructure and military equipment. I imagine they have a small air force now.

Maintaining it will be an issue, but it’s quite an upgrade for them.
We did the same to the south Vietnamese. Disgraceful. I really feel bad for any Afghanis who aided the US.
general lesson in this, specially to westerners. don't assume what you believe in, is what everyone else believes in. the us, went to a false / wrong war with the taliban under the additional presumption that afghan natives don't wanna be under taliban rule. or they wanna practice a form of western democracy. now what's apparent is the afghan military are just abandoning their posts and returning home. and natives likewise, don't mind taliban rule, as long they're not under civil war.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Whether or not you agree with the US leaving (especially in the manner that we left), it seems like we should all be able to agree that the US should honor its commitments to protect translators and other partners. I don’t understand the controversy here.
By this logic, why not Java, C++, Rust, Go, C#?

They’re all web-capable and blow the doors off PHP, Python, etc.
That sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. You have a package which hasn't been upgraded by your team for two years and suddenly someone finds a vulnerability in every version before 3.xyz.something. When you check, your version package is 1.3.5. Now you have to upgrade multiple major versions, and in all likelihood the package had transitive dependencies which have had many updates themselves as well. After several months/years of neglect, "upgrade when you have a reason to" has turned into a major undertaking and if you are especially unlucky it will take multiple devs many weeks to sort out the mess. All this time, your app will be running an unsafe version of the package and you can only hope that nobody finds out before the dependency upgrade is completed.

Keeping your dependencies is boring and takes a lot of time, but the alternatives are far worse.
Do you have a source to back up the claim from your last sentence? My understanding is that if you can cook with your tap water, then it should also be safe to drink (or can be made safe to drink by boiling it).

While I strongly suspect you’re right about React being influenced by the problem space, I’d contest the notion that trees aren’t useful for computational constructs in general. Trees are fundamental to the concept of a function call graph over time, for example.

For a purely "consumer" internet, yes. But I'd like to think that at some point we move back to a more decentralised model, where addressibility in more contexts than a response to a request become important again. To some degree the NAT issues have even killed a lot of this, making P2P more difficult and unreliable than would be otherwise.

True. All three major mobile carriers in mainland China have deployed Dual Stack. And the government is pushing for IPv6-only stack by 2030, with pilot starting as early as 2025.
Yes. I couldn’t agree more. No amount of complaining at Apple will make them build an open ecosystem. It’s just not in their DNA. Supporting these guys will help them to do it.

I think the point of the thread is that you're probably not going to need a platypus or a human or even a dog. If the requirements are that you support a cat only, then you just need a Cat class and no big abstraction taxonomy.
bottled water sucks ass, but how do you quantify this sort of thing? it's almost a meaningless number. after 3500 liters dispensed from a tap, is there one empty plastic bottle dumped in a landfill? or are you supposed to reuse a water bottle 3500 times before tossing it? are there 3500 times more co2 emissions from getting bottled water to my lips? last i checked there isn't much carbon involved in pulling from the ground, which isnt even how everyone gets their water. no i didnt read the article.
Django went that route and it's not great either.

I think the ideal would be some kind of middle ground: an optional contrib module, plugin, or even just documented pattern that can serve as an officially supported approach without baking a strong opinion directly into the framework.

> we have to admit the failure was the US changing its role there from hunting Bin Laden and the Taliban to "Nation building"

The cause of the failure was when, in 2003, the US decided to focus on an entirely unnecessary war of choice (aggression, really) in Iraq (and a whole bunch of propaganda own-goals scored in that war that affected the US particularly in the Islamic world reinforced that.) Nation building was always an element of fighting the Taliban, not mission drift, since having something stable and broadly supported in place was the key to prevent a resurgence.

The link says:

> Playing the “equity” card as an objection to pricing the roads actually turns out to be a way to advance the interests not of the poor, but of those who benefit already from the wealth of subsidies to car ownership. We seem to be perfectly fine with all kinds of inequity in our transportation finance system, so long as it benefits wealthier car owners.

I am not wealthy by any means, don't own a car, house, stocks etc. I walk or take the bus. So that's not me they are talking about. But I know several friends and family who are nurses, Uber drivers, farmers, delivery people etc. They are going to be impacted by this the most.

Your link tries to claim that just because we have already horrible inequities, we shouldn't complain. That's just a silly nihilistic way of looking at things.
And paying a bit more attention to each moment is less harsh than than trying to increase numeric metrics of “good” or “evil” each day. Paying attention is simple enough you can tell if you are having trouble with it or not without numbers. Although people are good at fooling themselves, they are also able to see thru a brick wall given enough time and stillness.

I know that we're not supposed to talk about the voting on comments [1] but I request that we make an exception here and pay attention to something interesting that is happening in this discussion. baron_harkonnen (fitting name for this comment, BTW) explicitly says "People here talk about pessimism as if it's some rampant belief in society and the few optimists there are fighting against the hordes of the non-believer" and "Optimists also believe that someone questioning optimism it itself dangerous". It's therefore interesting to me that baron_harkonnen's comment is getting downvoted literally out of the optimist majority's sight. That seems to go against HN's culture of welcoming and respecting debate so long as the viewpoint seems to be genuine, non-inflammatory, etc. baron_harkonnen is expressing some bleak ideas (as is fitting for a pessimist) but it appears to be a genuine, non-inflammatory perspective.

Here's the thing: did Pepsi come through on the other things advertised in that commercial?

If they sent a leather jacket for 1450 points and a mountain bike for 3500, then it seems to me that it is against the public interest to allow a company to make such offers and then rescind them arbitrarily.

That's why we get small print saying things like "screens are simulated" and "not actual size" and "while supplies last" or "at participating stores only" -- because without those disclaimers, we should be able to rely on statements about prices, promotions and availability.

This isn’t the requirement. The requirement is that we source sustainably grown food. That can come from Mexico or the lusher regions of the US or wherever.

Specifically about "natives, likewise, don't mind taliban rule".

Nicholas Kristof (an American journalist with possibly pro-American biases, but one who I think has a pretty good track record of honest reporting), has pointed out that Afghani women may enjoy less rights under the new administration, and there are many who have worked for pro-Western NGOs that are fearing for their lives. I'm not sure things will "just be life as usual" for all citizens, particularly women, under Taliban rule.
