While I had heard of black communities being displaced by highways, I had no idea how overt, intentional and systematic it was, or how targeted it was at destroying black-owned business districts.

I can't imagine spending my life building a business, getting a taste of independence and relative wealth, only to have it ripped away because my home and business were "blight."
This is kind of OpenBSD's vibe. They tend to be ok with breaking backwards compatibility in favor of their idea of forward progress.

It's pretty counter to Microsoft's incredible investment in backwards compatibility. Or Linus' "don't break user land" philosophy.

I'd think if we had a spectrum of backwards compatibility, with the most being on the right it might look something like this:

OpenBSD ---> macOS/iOS ---> Linux ---> Microsoft

I think in the OpenBSD case, due to limited developer resources, and a cultural bias towards simplicity, this is the tradeoff they decided to make. Even at the cost of more users.
Not going to read a Shakespeare article that misquotes the opening line of Macbeth.
Github.com/Triplea-game, I wrote bash scripts to do deployments as a way to avoid ansible. The bash scripts were not well received (who likes bash scripts)
They were coverted to andibke and became simpler. There was then an uptick of people engaging with the deployment code.
IMO it's tough to do ansible well and keep it simple. In part restricting how it is used, where to find what, I think goes a long way
If, by that point, what I’m talking about is still unclear, I’ll have failed.
This 40 year process has very little to do with Arm or Softbank. Arm and SoftBank are the end stages of the disease, the window for treatment is long passed.

Mainframes: The Cloud Before the Cloud
You're playing semantics.

Bitcoin's survival is predicated upon the distributed, cooperating members of the network being willing and able to spend more cycles than any one bad actor.

Prohibition of mining centralized mining tautologically reduces the number of cycles the network is able to cooperatively dedicate toward mining. Whatever the hash rate otherwise would be without a prohibition, once you prohibit and drastically reduce the contribution of centralized mining, it would be drastically less.

But the ability for someone to put together a centralized mining facility is still there, it just carries additional risk. If nobody else is performing centralized mining, the incentives for someone to quietly put together an outfit of their own for the sake of attempting a 51% attack grows. This might be outright illegal, it might be done by a government, or a myriad other possibilities. Either way, it's an order of magnitude easier in that future than it is today for someone to gather the necessary hardware to mount such an attack and turn it on all at once.

> Basically your statement is "people will pull off scaled mining operations even if illegal, and bitcoins demise is predicated on centralized mining operations" and I agree with you 100%.

My statement is "people can pull off scaled-down mining operations even if illegal, but this reduces the effective hashrate; further, other people can pull off scaled-up mining operations in the short term".
Nonsense

Arm China was set up because they want to be listed on the Shanghai Star board, the Chinese Nasdaq. If Arm just want to do business in China, it's totally OK to have fully owned subsidiary.

And this whole setup was in turn from Softbank's acute sense that Arm China will be given a lofty valuation because of the tech wars happening right now...

And for all are happening right now, it's because Mr. Wu learned how to manuvurer based on his own interests. The Chinese investors are actually not directly benefiting from this mess.

I don’t think this post is trying to use correlation to prove causation. It’s in effect saying that when you can’t be sure that there is a causal relationship between two things that you can still make some decisions.

This is a thinly sourced blog post that seems like pure flamebait and not really relevant for HN.
Maybe Americans should start trying to start more on-shore factories.

(Just thinking about that makes me laugh. The environmentalists, the labor folks, the real-estate folks, the local and state tax authorities -- all will either slow things and/or get their cut. From what I understand the sad truth is that the CCP's real economic advantage lies in ignoring the environment, workers rights, and real-estate rights. So we are stuck with on-shore "too much" and Chinese "not enough" in each of these categories. Plus, our justice system is entirely dysfunctional and slows everything down 100x and increases cost of everything 1000x).

Interestingly, Japan also had very lax IP laws as it was catching up to the rest of the world, which basically enabled it to do what China has been doing, and only really shifted to strong IP protections as it started to develop its own tech and IP that it wanted to export.

tl;dr, Discord is forcing bots that are in over 75 servers to make use of slash commands, because Discord will no longer send raw messages starting April 2022. So no more `!pause`, or whatever else you might normally type. And this change isn't easy to implement for Discord.py, and would require full bot rewrites for devs using the library. So along with a lot of other negligence towards bot developers from Discord, Discord.py's single developer has stepped down, and no other core library developers chose to step up.
> This couldn't have happened in a western country.

Because control of the company is not determined by control of the company seal in Western countries, but it is in China. A legal technicality that the shareholders need to get the courts to address.

But there are also technicalities in Western company laws that need judicial intervention, like dealing with directors acting against shareholders' interests in English company law.
I find that a lot of fitness advice for the "ordinary overweight" adapts something from either athletic training, or physical therapy. Dietary advice likewise tends towards weighty, religious entreaties like "avoid all carbs". These things do not slot into a modern lifestyle easily - what we need a lot of is "passive fitness" measures akin to the "take the stairs instead of the elevator" or "bike instead of using your car" advice. When the availability is good, on average you end up taking the healthy option more often.

But, to get there we will have to have a built environment and social norms that support it. The trends have been positive, but much more is still possible. "physique = fitness" is a particularly bad normalized metric(with understandable origins), and we should be encouraging people to use a real fitness test to judge themselves.
"Well, in most universes, there is one law of gravity that works on red objects, and a totally different law of gravity that works on blue objects. But by a random coincidence with a very small probability, in some tiny fraction of the universes, the law of gravity happens to be same for both red and blue objects. These are the universes where gravity can hold planets together, so these are the only universes where life can appear."

Do you think such would be a philosophically satisfactory explanation on why red and blue objects obey the same law of gravity?
Meaning the core TOTP piece isn't much code, and a library might not store/encrypt the seed, display the data, etc, in a way that you want. The bulk of the code for an authenticator app isn't typically the TOTP bit.

Yeah, that's the chart in the middle of the article of the log likelihood of each word. The higher that score, the more a word is used in Macbeth relative to the rest of his plays. However ... the author blips right over the fact that "our" and "she"--two very common words--both have a higher log likelihood than "the".

I think that may be a misleading way to put it.

When a large airplane enters heavy turbulence, stalls and falls into the sea, I don't think that would be the usual scenario.
Code-wise, cloud-foolish (2020)
this seems like such a really good baseline for a home-cloud. there's such good host infrastructure here. i'm such a huge Debian lover but there's so much more required to turn it into a decent host environment, and Proxmox covers so much ground to do just that.

but i still want Kubernetes as my primary interface atop it.

since LXC is the primary container system on Proxmox (and a damned fine one at that), it seems like one might be able to make something like LXE[1] run, as a shim, to provide a Container Runtime Interface & start running kubelet (the thing that runs containers) atop that.

It depends - are they 5x worse than cities with an average incarceration rate?
I'm guessing "rouge" should be "rogue"?

Somewhere in this conversation I think someone made a typo and it's gained its own life in the comments, thinking it's the correct term?

However, in this case Softbank must be "rouge" (embarrassed) for their mistake... So perhaps it's kind of okay :)
Piggybacking off of this to come back to it later. I'm also looking for some side project to start that'll encourage me to learn more about programming while I'm still in school for CS.

I've launched some hobby projects online in the past but none of which are monetized in any way, and almost all of them ended up costing money to run or still continue to do so. I'd love to build something for practice (to start out), with the intent of it eventually being good enough of a service for others to use too. I'm just blank on ideas at the moment.
When apps I use switch to subscriptions, I stop using them and switch to ones that don’t. When I’m considering an app and I see that they’re demanding regular payments, that app is out of consideration. (I’ve also convinced my friends and employer to avoid subware as well; people often back away from it once they do the math and realize how expensive it really is.)

I have no problem paying $50—or even $100—for good software, once. Thousands of dollars over the course of years is simply not reasonable.
Be sure to read to the end, the conclusion takes some wind out of the sails of the ayuhuasca cure all argument.

> 'Most Proficient Mind'
Neither Rory nor Ryan Van Tuinen took a straight and unwavering path to recovery after his ayahuasca experience. Since Seven Days first interviewed them in January 2020, Rory quit methadone treatments. He relapsed, overdosed twice and nearly died before checking himself into rehab. Despite those setbacks, he's been off opioids and methadone again since April 2020, and he credits ayahuasca with saving his life.

Ryan has quit alcohol and all prescription pharmaceuticals; he said he barely even drinks coffee anymore.

"My habits with substances are healthier than they've ever been," he said. "For the first time in my life, I feel like my sober mind is the most proficient mind to handle life."

Such reports are powerful — and, of course, anecdotal. Despite his belief in the potential benefits of psychedelics, Johnson, the Johns Hopkins professor and researcher, warned of "selling some snake oil" based on limited data. He believes that any therapeutic use of psychedelics should be "solidly based in empirical science."
This is unfortunate, and while I do like Discord (enough to pay them $50/year), I hope transgressions like this drive more people to set up self-hosted places to hang out. Discord is responsible for driving a lot of innovation in the communication sector, and they'll always have a place for doing that: but it's going to be difficult for such a large company to keep the interests of their shareholders out of the business of their users.
Depends on where you live. In some cities in Europe, after paying taxes and living expenses you might have money left only for a couple of beers a day. In the developing parts of the world, $4k a month is 10x the average developer’s salary. But if that’s a passive income I don’t see a need to live in an expensive city so your comment makes sense.
If you think that this is a recent problem, then that is a perfect demonstration why this will never be solved.

That's still irrelevant. They asked a specific question and got an answer. That answer adds to our knowledge. That's it. We already have data telling us how many people who contract covid will have life-threatening symptoms without treatment.
So, recently I achieved happiness because I just don't care about the job anymore. I didn't even do my performance self review, and I wrote a poem instead. I got a Meets-Most, and I've never been happier.

I'm writing my final proposal as one final swing at the bat and the title is "XYZ or Bust" where either I get buy-in or I'm leaving. I've never felt better in my entire career.

This is made possible because I'm old enough with enough assets that I can quit and retire, so now it is time to leverage the positives.

From reading this, it is clear the team he is on is toxic. The key to not being on-call all the time is not answering the call unless you in rotation. It's hard to do for sure.

> Discord is forcing bots that are in over 75 servers to make use of slash commands, because Discord will no longer send raw messages starting April 2022

Can someone explain why that is? My understanding is that adding bots to a server requires Admin/Owner access, who are already at liberty to read all messages. If you don't trust bots scraping your messages in a server, don't you implicitely distrust the owners? Just leave the server?
Well, the same thing has happened for Amazon and Google, so… yes?

Of course you can argue that the wrong leader would have torpedoed the company.
As someone who has used Discord for the past few years, it's kind of sad to see how dominant and arbitrary it's become. Gotta say I would prefer Matrix if the communities I participate in used it.

It's gotten pretty far from the good old days of IRC --- which I'm quite aware is still alive! --- and that's both good and bad at times. But one of the biggest flaws is that it's not an open standard. (Interop is only done by prohibited programs like Ripcord!)
That's the opposite of how the burden of proof works.

> I asked him what he thought would be needed to bring him out of homelessness and keep him inside society. He said he didn’t want that, he said he enjoyed being homeless. He was sleeping in a squat house, he was able to score enough cash from tourists to support his drugs habit, the police left him alone because he didn’t look out of place, he was clean, groomed etc.

> How does society help someone with that view?

To play devil's advocate -- does society need to help someone like that right away? It sounds like this man isn't in a great place, but content with what he has. Not so sound callous, but there's likely a deeper rock bottom he can hit -- if he ever gets injured or sick for example. Once that happens he may change his mind, but until then there's likely very little to nothing you can do.

> When asking an innocent question to Mason, the Project Manager of the Bot & API team, about whether my bot could connect to the gateway without being verified, he responded rudely and called me a "martyr" with an unnecessarily threatening tone:

Just wanted to say that I had a completely different read of Mason's response - without any other context, it seemed like he was joking around. "We won't ban you, y'know, unless you're into that kind of thing" style. Am I totally off base?
Low because they don't arrest anyone. But that isn't on the police - they don't arrest anyone because the DA doesn't prosecute anyone.

Property crime is sky high... if you happen to get caught breaking into a car the penalty is a warning. That is the policy. You have to break into many cars and be caught (which is hard to do) many times for any action.

Boudin has indefensibly ignored violent criminals, too. Like a woman being assaulted while trying to open the door to here condo, fully on video and there was no prosecution. Even a few cases of murder from repeat offenders who were let go repeatedly after violent assault.

If you live in SF, try the Citizen phone app for alerts near you. There is some crazy stuff happening all around the city. Lately, cars keep inexplicably flipping over on city streets.

I had a good experience with Proxmox myself, though Lxd seems to be something of a new competitor now that it supports both containers and VMs.
Covid has exposed the powers that be to be about exactly that: power. In the US, gun and ammo sales are through the roof due to the overreach of government. Everyone in the west has been warned by seeing how our governments react to try and control us. Well, everyone except Sweden and South Korea.

The surprise to me is not that governments are doing this. The surprise to me is that so many people fall in line with it as if they are incapable of thinking for themselves. Maybe after so many millennia of being serfs, slaves, and other subjugations its just in our DNA.
Are you expecting them to offer financing and payment plans on $1000+ purchases without a credit check? This is unremarkable.
There is a third party you have to implicitly trust, the bot developer. Given most of these bots are used to provide specific functionality, them being able to read messages seems too broad in scope – I know I don't want to have to trust another invisible party to also do the right thing.

That said, this looks like very poor communication and imposition of a lot of developer toil on Discord's part.
I'm always very thankful that we even have people that work so hard towards FOSS libraries to begin with. It must feel pretty bad to receive those responses from employees telling him about the things he should do that are 'um', 'easy' and 'dope' when there's clearly been many longstanding feature and communication issues already (as if being the person working on a FOSS library for no compensation in your spare time that empowers a company whose employees' are getting 7-8 figure exits within a few years wasn't already bad enough).

My general pessimism with this situation is how proprietary everything has to be to begin with; the idea of a single company storing the full history of everyone's messages and interactions is already bad enough without them requiring the government ID of their users.
It would break the same as sprinkling "await" all around your codebase. Asynchrony in general is not free - you have to redesign around it regardless, and deal with the issues it introduces.
> Why are people trusting this?

Because there is over a year's worth of evidence from other countries that Covid is dangerous and spreads indoors easily and that lockdowns are an effective means to (at least temporarily, until vaccines take over) counter it?
Do we have numbers on how often that happens?

I think it’s generally just fine unless the incoming new CEO is determined to suddenly do everything different.
