" the US military would crush them in a heartbeat "

I think what we've seen in prior civil wars is that portions of the military will support both sides.
I can see your speech just fine here on HN, one of the many alternative social media sites to Facebook.
Can you please stop replying for the parent commenters on all my comments? I'm more interested in what they have to say here rather than someone clearly biased coming in to share their opinion against me everywhere.
You clearly didn't read the collected stories in that article. The NYTimes requested letters from Black people on their experiences running after a Black man, Ahmaud Arbery, was murdered awhile running and a big part of the national narrative consisted of false allegations that he had just burgled some place.

It seems a lot of Black people are afraid to run because they know there's a real risk that they'll be shot by white people who will assume they've committed a crime. They're afraid people will immediately assume they're scofflaws, as you joked (?), and hurt or harass them.

So you may have seen black people running, but that may be because you live in a more progressive neighborhood with BLM signs that has made Black runners feel less like they'd be murdered in your neighborhood than in other neighborhoods (as one person explained in that article).

If we're measuring freedom, the right to exist in public without a reasonable expectation of violence and harassment seems important.
If people on Twitter say so then it must be true.
I have expressed a good few heterodox opinions on HN that are accepted without vitriol. So, I am not sure I agree.

HN expects you to be civil, and abide by the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence " paradigm. I find them to be reasonable requirements.

If you'd like to express more heterodox views then there are a few rationalist-adjacent splinter groups around the internet with excellent discourse over a wide range of opinions. Each splinter group has different overton windows, but they're all of a really high quality.
Open borders with the rest of the EU is...Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium. And adorable Andorra. Oh, and Italy. All of which are comparable to Mexico where it counts, of course. /s
I hope you're right, I admire your optimism.

I don't think cigarettes are comparable to agriculture products and plastics and other chemicals because all of those things serve other purposes, they have economic uses. It's one thing to crack down on something that all it does is fleece people til they die painfully from it, it's another thing entirely to retool material production around a health concern.
Frameworks can help in this situation to some extent, but if going frameworkless is okay for you, Francesco Strazzullo's book "Frameworkless Front-End Development" did an excellent job of explaining what, why, and how to organize a js codebase without using external codebase, at least it did for me.
Isn't Germany experiencing a housing shortage — and soaring rents — in their major cities?

That aside, I'm not convinced that encouraging home ownership is bad policy. Home ownership is a direct personal investment in your community, a means of securing one's most base human needs. If people are not building equity in their own homes, someone else is — why is that a superior outcome?

The maths is a bit too dense for me to read through it all easily and understandingly, but in case anyone is wondering, this doesn't appear to be a new breakthrough or "ECDH is broken" or anything of that nature.

Switzerlands guns culture and history is very different. Quite the opposite actually. Civilians were armed, required to own guns for a long time, so local lords and later governments could send them to conflicts quicker.

The argument that you need guns for personal defense, against the government or as part of self-reliance is extremely rare. Also legally there are not many cases where their use would be considered justified self-defense by a court.

There has been some "americanization" in recent years with people copying NRA arguments but not a prevalent mindset anywhere in the country.

The reasons why there are some many guns around are simply because people often take (or had to in the past) the military service riffle home and because shooting is a fairly popular sport. Not because of a perceived need of needing it for defending oneself or family.
I find IMDb to be more convenient than RT/MC/Wikipedia for finding release dates of movies - nearly every other website lists only the American release date, maybe one or two others if the movie was disproportionately popular in certain regions.
I feel that these efforts to increase housing supply --especially in the Bay Area-- can only scratch at the problem, and very slowly. You would have to raze entire neighborhoods, entire towns, and rebuild them with high-density housing, to meet the demand.

So why is there never discussion of reducing demand instead of increasing supply? As in, put a limit on how many employees can be hired in the Bay Area by any company. Google, Apple, Facebook, Netflix, and all the rest bring in many tens of thousands of employees (and their families) every year. They crowd out the nicer apartments, making them unavailable and unaffordable to low-wage employees. And eventually the tech worker cashes in their fantastic stock growth and over-bids on a house, driving prices up.

The suggestion of capping hiring in the Bay Area seems to be a taboo suggestion, not sure why. Seems to me, when your house is flooding from a broken pipe, first thing you do it cut the main.
You are objectively wrong. Ironic and wrong.
If you really want to stir the pot, post facts.

HN, which is mostly Marxist, absolutely hates that.
Sure, feel free to pass these suggestions around.
There's always two sides to every story, though. I don't know anything about what's going on (and I don't write Go), but there's a mention in the Twitter replies about further discussion on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/ppluux/peter_bourgo...

which links this document:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1exmMfbgVCz3dRXOOlfUCYeiX...

which looks an entirely reasonable reason to formally ask someone to knock it off and take some time to chill. From the document, it seems that he has a policy of ignoring Slack moderators, took the fight to Twitter when his Slack account was temporarily deactivated, and has a pattern of such behavior.

If that document is to be believed, the punishment was not excessive and arbitrary. He got a temporary Slack ban, which was appropriate and measured, and then chose to continue escalating.

There's also this reply:

> @peterbourgon Many of us here have respect for u from a technical standpoint and learned from your talks/code. However it’s wrong to troll people on slack (because “this is internet”) and call them names on twitter for no apparent reason. I hope you can stand back and understand the mistake.

For what it's worth, I actually think it's a good sign that the CoC is equally enforced against a drafter of the CoC - the alternative is that there's a group of people who are sufficiently in the in-crowd that their behavior is the definition of what's acceptable and they get to do what they want. It's absolutely possible to abuse the power of CoCs, but this seems like the exact opposite.
>You're assuming that the general population is too stupid to be trusted with unfiltered information.

I'm saying that bombarding the general population with low-quality, dangerous information from sources that appear authoritative (what the tech giants are suppressing) is a bad idea. People take the information seriously and use it to cause harm to themselves and others.

There are a certain group of people that like to fuck around with conceptual arguments for the fun of it, but the public square is not the place for that kind of play.

>But theories aren't dangerous. Actions are dangerous.

Ideologies absolutely are dangerous. They've started wars, genocides, and cults. When does a theory stop being a theory and become an ideology?
Because it’s way easier to just build more housing than enact draconian policies to prevent freedom of employment and freedom of movement. Think about what you are suggesting for a second.
It’s time to rename “Unlimited PTO” to something more honest and realistic. Of course, HR will still call it that, but giving it a better name will help people see it for what it is. I propose “Vacation By Request” or maybe “PTO TBD.”
The source is the Terner Center link above. The time frame is 10 years, if I recall correctly.
I helped a similar network get off the ground in IL. I’d love to help - email is in bio.
I think that like many places nowadays, development of Windows is done by developers according to an entirely business-driven backlog, where details are first broken down into prioritizable bits before being implemented. As long as features are delivered on time in predictable increments, nobody dares to openly question the actual usefulness or quality of the resulting software for fear of impeding that smooth rollout which would make the team look bad and reduce chances of promotion and / or bonuses.
Companies would just react by adjusting their HR rules to comply with the court decision. This sort of thing happens all the time.
This isn’t a communist country, the government can’t tell people where they can or can’t live.
That’s right. And other comments describe the details of when/how existing plots may be split or redeveloped.
It took me a few seconds to realize your comment was a pun.
I've followed this issue for decades.

The incumbent telcos have a good point that local communities usually don't have the resources to manage it long-term.

A half step is to run dark fiber (or wifi) during each major infra project for future optional use.

Beyond that:

- decide whether to threaten to enable it to get telcos to build out in your area

- decide if managing Internet is a parallel activity to existing utilities or services, like traffic signal equipment

- decide if just select industrial users need it vs. residential users, and decide if billing is necessary.
Maybe they are hedging pipeline failure and clean up costs with water profit...

This exchange was nice.

As a quick test, I searched for the name of one of my favorite game series: "Baldur's Gate" (on its own, no qualifiers, properly spelled - I would usually spell it "baldurs gate" on Google, but I decided to give this one the best chance). I search for info around video games a lot, so that's quite representative of a good chunk of my web searches, and I pretty much know the top sites Google would give me for that query (on its own, without any further qualifiers).

The results were all either barely relevant, outdated (sites that covered the game back in the 90s/2000s before it was re-released), at best tangentially relevant or complete garbage noise. Some of the most highly relevant pages (such as the Steam store listing, the fandom wiki, the publisher/developer's forums for the re-releases, the Baldur's Gate 3 website and the subreddit) were not included at all. Those are all fairly text heavy by any reasonable standard, so I assume they were "punished" because they use JS? Would make sense that nearly all of them are way out of date.

Then I searched specifically for "Baldur's Gate Wiki" but still out of luck - some results, but nothing vaguely Wiki-like.

Finally I searched for "Baldur's Gate Fandom Wiki". This is basically "search engine easy mode", by giving essentially the name of of the site I am looking for. I got ZERO results. At this point I gave up and decided that this thing is useless.

Look, I'm all for unearthing good long-form content (in fact I would say that much of the content around this specific game would qualify), and I do get as annoyed at modern SPAs as the next grumpy neckbeard.

I think considering both of those in a search engine is not a bad idea in and of itself. But I have to wonder what's the point of a search engine that weights some arbitrary aspect of web design higher than the relevancy of the subject matter (to the point of not returning any results at all)? In fact, considering that generally speaking more recent websites tend to include more scripting, you are intentionally skewing the results towards (very) old content, which is probably doing the user a disservice.
I don’t know if it’s still the case (it’s a long time since I lived in Australia) but at one point Australian workers were actually paid _more_ while on vacation. About 17% more. The rationale is that there was no opportunity for overtime while on vacation, and the extra pay on vacation was to make up for that.
It doesn't seem like you've done the work of actually engaging with the data. Toddlers don't blow their own heads off at any appreciable rate. There are a few hundred "accidental" firearms deaths in the U.S., a nation of 330,000,000 people, in a given year (almost all of which are adults). Many of those are not really accidents (people who plan to commit suicide want insurance money, religious burial, etc.).

HoTT is not really relevant to the study of the foundations of mathematics, in the sense that it does not help solve the questions considered important or interesting by the foundations/metamathematics community. The best they can say is basically that they came up with a theory that is mutually interpretable with ZFC, and in their opinion more aesthetically pleasing, which sort of misses the point. The purpose of ZFC isn't to be aesthetically pleasing or "capture how mathematicians actually think" or anything like that, it's to facilitate proving metamathematical theorems.

Also, people understood isomorphisms quite well decades before HoTT was invented.

I hear these talking points repeated often enough on HN that it makes me think I should write a centralized debunking of them and just link it every time a HoTT story hits the front page.
Due to redlining, black people generally couldn't buy houses. They rented. Having multi-family units means letting renters into your neighborhood, which means letting black people in. In many part of the US, politicians in county elections often run on "eliminating multi-tenant housing to reduce crime", which is a dog-whistle to racists.

I don't think it's necessary to provide references here. The history of housing discrimination is well researched and just a quick google search away for you. I know this is HN and the culture is to require proof, but seriously, some people just need to educate themselves, because otherwise they aren't receptive to listening.
Building wealth via housing isn't about savings, it's about leverage.
Really that high? Full redevelopment takes time and money. But ADUs seem like a relatively cheap/easy way for home owners to get into rentals and earn some cash.

Here's a version with a lot fewer deleted comments. If anyone wants to see what 1984s memory hole looks like this is it. You know what you remember but are told you're insane for remembering.

Thank god for the internet archive, and other archival sites, the retroactive modification of articles on the 'papers of record' have been particularly egregious in the last 6 years.
My biggest annoyance is that they've removed the ability to open the task manager by right-clicking the taskbar. Instead, I have to right-click the Windows icon in the bottom left. Just ... why? What benefit is there to not letting me right-click anywhere on the bottom part of my screen? Do none of these muppets even use Windows?

"Cant the "roots" be also in"

Maybe, but it's not relevant. Let's all fix the root problems, but let's not create a dependency on it. If we want to solve a problem, we have to solve the problem in the reality we have (flawed as it is), not the reality we want.

"The biggest problem in Ukraine is domestic violence."

Sad to hear. Going back to the main topic, it seems like you might be suggesting that women owning guns might be a solution to that problem?
Twitter Super Follows has generated only around $6K+ in its first two weeks
I think you must misunderstand FMLA. FMLA is job protection to take care of medical issues (you or family member). It isn't really any red tape, but it prevents an employer from firing you during those 12 weeks and it prevents them from denying your PTO. So if you have 4 weeks of PTO saved up they cant deny your time off request to take care of your baby for 4 weeks. FMLA leave is unpaid.

I'm still using one I bought probably 10 years ago; it's a Belkin with 2x2.1A outputs.

But I'd look at Anker too (have been happy with their wall chargers and headphones).

If I were buying new I'd probably get USB-C now.

Right now the magic number for Australia is getting 80% of the population vaccinated, at which point the current COVID-zero approach will be abandoned.

I believe New Zealand has a similar approach, although I'm not sure on the exact number they're targeting.
You can earn money by promoting Worksnaps
It's supposed to work with the promoter applying for a permit, and if it makes sense either it's granted or the infra is built.

Failing infrastructure can have disastrous impacts. It's not somewhere where you can afford to move fast and break stuff. There is no alternative to competent government here, no easy way out.
I don't think anyone would say that all code should be accessible to everyone.

The question is, do people who use [1] and [2] use only FORTRAN for everything, even common programming tasks that any competent person could tackle? And when they have something new to write, do they continue with FORTRAN because it's what they're used to?
Ooh this looks really powefull, any plans to add hetzner and backblaze?
I think there's a degree of denial. I remember walking up to an engineer on the WinUI team at Build (can't remember if 2018 or 2019) and they were _shocked_ that I had complaints about UWP. They seemed to think it was a revelation. It was honestly offensive how out of touch she was. I think at least the PMs on that team do not understand the human suffering they cause by releasing such a bad product.

Anyway, after a particularly awful project involving UWP and Forms UWP, I'm taking my vacation days and using them to learn Typescript, React, and Electron.

Edit: if you find yourself working at Microsoft on the WinUI or UWP teams, quitting is an option. There are many good products that could use your skills and programmer labor is in high demand.
> why is there never discussion of reducing demand instead of increasing supply

There is discussion of reducing demand, primarily by attacking the tech industry. Example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/02/palo-alto...

Obviously, implementing such a policy at such a regional scale has major side effects, both on the tech industry and on America. The jobs and people have to go somewhere, and we are already exporting our housing crisis to other tech cities (Austin, Seattle, Portland) at an alarming pace. Eventually this will become a national problem.
~320 hours isn't an uncommon amount to bank, I had more than that when I left my first tech job after 2 years. Albeit I didn't just take time off at the end I went the payout route but that's not really an option for unlimited PTO. I also took over a month off at the end of every year at then next job as they had decent total time off but didn't allow it to be rolled over year to year so I wouldn't say taking a month or two off is ridiculous in it's own right either.

Hard to say if it was actually unfair or not given the lack of background details (e.g. were they only there for a couple of months working the minimum needed or where they there for 2 years working heavily) but nothing about what was said so far actually seems unfair. "unlimited pto" should be about flexibility not about trying to silently lower the amount of PTO people take.

My current place now is much smaller and has unlimited PTO. I just act like it is no rollover front loaded and arranged my major blocks throughout the year up front. Throughout the year I'll make additional minor requests for unplanned things. Unfortunately many others don't do this and even though nobody is ever denied very few come close to using how much I get approved on Jan 1 and they'll just leave without it.

That's a sad part of the current human condition, we all want to rule each other to minimize the possibility of facing whatever it is we fear or loathe - and most of us fear a loss of control, or even a failure to gain as much control as we feel we could have had. Everybody wants to rule the world.

Why is it so hard to recognize that governments like to give themselves special "temporary" powers and then not give them up?
No, you're conflating people who were in DC with the yokels who "stormed" the capitol. As I recall, only one of the yokels had a gun. But it makes for more polarization if we can all make it seem as though they all had guns!
This X 10000. You clearly know a lot more than I do on the subject -I’m happy to agree with anyone who advises caution in this space.
If you can upzone housing, you can downzone offices.

Why isn't anyone building brand new cities shaped the way they want, instead of trying to force people out of where they live? I'd much rather live in a blank slate city designed the way I'd like, than constantly fight people who don't want me around.
You'd think that's what SB9 did, based on the number of critics who accused it of "manhattanizing single family neighborhoods."
Anybody (even a teenager) could do that back then, and anybody (even a teenager) could do it today. Yet, they manifestly haven't. Evidently, it is not very easy to go from a fun experiment to global domination, gene recombination or no gene recombination.

Meanwhile, ranchers are actively breeding antibiotic-resistant bacteria, everywhere, with outstanding success, and sending the resulting strains straight to your local supermarket.
