I don't use Spotify just because whole genres are not there. And I'm not talking about some obscure music from 150 years ago. Even Jungle Tekno from the early to mid 90s can't be found. The only sources are some 50 years old random guy fondly remembering their MDMA-fueled glory days and uploading their records on YouTube, vinyl from Discogs, or private trackers.

Equality of outcome is not petty, it's evil.

It's ok, I know what you mean :) you're talking about non-corruption, equality in the face of the law/rules and so on. I pretty much agree with it. I also mean what I said about hijacking the conversation - I happen to care very deeply about health-related pollution (less so about carbon), and I really really don't want the discourse led astray.

I think carbon offsets are a fundamentally good idea that probably works. I see this kind of news you linked as proof that it does - in a working system I'd expect occasional abuse. I'd expect to see no abuse only if the system was so inefficient as to not be worse gaming. Is it efficient overall? For this you'd need statistical analysis and lots of data. But I like a framework where everybody can decide how much emiting carbon is worth to them - this way you can easily reach all the low hanging fruits, while still keeping those industries with high value per emission. For example I'd never want a blanket ban or quota to interfere with medical equipament manufacturers or high tech. Having the occasional rich guy buy a ferrari is a very small price. Plus, performance e-cars are already much faster.

Gun ownership can be politicized. Let’s not be naive. You would not want to be a known gun owner in some social circles of Alameda County, just as much as you wouldn’t want it to be publicly known that you are LGBTQ+ in Calaveras County.

Privacy is an important right for good reasons.

I don’t own a gun and tend to dislike them. But I work with perfectly fine, sane and normal people who do own guns, and shouldn’t have to be subjected to the judgments of the crowds, just as much as I’ve worked with perfectly fine, sane and normal LGBTQ+ who shouldn’t be subject to the judgments of the crowds.

I think that if you are doing anything even slightly controversial or dubious, you should assume that any 3-letter agencies might be interested in that stuff already have access to everything you write using big-tech messaging technologies. To my mind, you just cannot afford thinking otherwise.

> For example, it's no accident that most major religions heavily encourage their followers to have a lot of kids.

I noticed looking at my family tree, that basically all the secular branches have below replacement fertility, while the more religious branches have above replacement.

Ironically it seems secularism is the ultimate proselytizing ideology, it seems it can't grow its own base through reproduction, it can only tempt the religious to abandon their religion and enjoy secular freedoms with fewer responsibilities (like fewer kids) - but it has to repeat this process at every generation to survive.

Also ironic that secular society holds up the theory of evolution as a reason we no longer need religion, yet it seems evolution itself favors the religious with more descendents!
Define “space”. Up and down, orbit, to the moon, etc. For some definition of space, a helium balloon could suffice.

One of key reasons why people watch a pirated movie is because of non availability of the genuine movie in their country/region. A significant subset of such people would be willing to pay a small fee to watch a high quality (FHD/UHD) version.

A combination of DRM and HDCP controls software/hardware based screen recording to an extent. Yes, you can still point your camera at the screen and get a crappy copy. We are taking a very realistic world view here. We can get no where if we focus on the extremities.

One ticket - one person is gone. One ticket - one family is the norm.
We should have such a review no matter what. We always call for these reviews when people want to change things, but should we not also review old practices which where never reviewed before?
The superhero approach might (arguably) be valid in some cases -- I'm thinking of Lincoln, Washington, and FDR.

But an institution must be larger than a single person. Because if you want something to last longer than about 40 years (which is about the maximum amount of time a superhero can be super) you have to have succession.

It's also notable that those "greats" had in common a vision larger than themselves. Selflessness and an annihilation of ego, in service of a larger project, seems to be a requirement for getting yourself to that superhero status in the first place.

> Whether or not you agree that the people on these lists deserve to be hurt for their political opinions, many innocent people are also being caught in the crossfire.

Not sure if your choice of words is very unfortunate or if there's a sarcastic undertone; because in the US there seem to be way too many innocent people that are caught in the literal crossfire of gun violence. Finding ways to address this with legislation seems, from my non-American point of view, only reasonable - and yes, of course it will also affect and limit people that did not contribute to gun violence; what would your solution be, enforcing it only for people who already committed a crime, so essentially when it's too late to inconvenience them?
I understand that the value proposition of Rust is better C++, Deno is better Node. Crystal's "Better Ruby" doesn't sound like much given Ruby is niche anyway. What is it for Nim and Zig?
Hypothetically speaking, say we just assumed that basically everything the gun rights advocates are predicting is going to come to pass. Does it matter?

I'm making a guess here that the gun control advocates come in 2 flavours:

1) People who are scared of being shot, and prioritise that fear highly.

2) People who are committed to maintaining the status quo, and don't want there to be even a hypothetical potential for meaningful opposition to the police (such people, though relatively rare, are common in government).

I doubt either of those groups cares about the arguments being made by gun advocates, so I'm not sure what difference it would make if the gun advocates were right about everything.
PC-BASIC will do this as well: http://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/doc/2.0/PC-BASIC_docume...
If you think human nature (i.e. the free and ordinary expression of a person unperverted by social conditioning) comprises something like "do unto others and you would have them do unto you," I have several billion pieces of bad news for you. There is no evidence for this, and the only rebuttal you could have to all the counterexamples will be some form of No True Scotsman -- "yes, those people acted badly, bad that's their conditioning, not their True Human Nature..."

>It's not hard to envision nation state level threats that could be mitigated by illegal assassination of a warlord, or stealing all of a drug cartel's money or so on.

Its hard to envision any foreign nation state level threat that is more dangerous than domestic state police that surveil, torture and murder people completely outside the law and the Constitution.
If that is such a problem for poor, and we want to base our policies on what affects poor, maybe just give them more money?
> Google is moving away from java to kotlin, because of disagreements with Oracle.

Java and it's VM are OpenSource. So that argument doesn't make any sense.

Also I don't think Google would, or even could, move away form one of their primary languages.

Kotlin on the other hand is only a significant trend in Android development, and it will get dropped like a hot potato in favor of Dart as soon as Fuchsia arrives as Android successor, I guess.

Kotlin has a problem: It tries to be "the better Java", but Java is picking up (slowly) all the features. The space for a significantly more powerful JVM language is already taken by Scala. So in the long run there won't be much space for Kotlin left: As soon as Java will get "more modern Features" Kotlin will have a hard time to compete. As likely mostly only syntax differences will remain.
Say goodbye to self-directed IRA and tax-free Roth growth
The House Ways and Means Committee recently released proposed tax legislation intended to pay for President Biden’s $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. Several provisions severely restrict your freedom to self-direct the investments in your IRA.

Under these provisions, you would no longer be allowed to invest your IRA into private placements and single-member LLCs, regardless of your level of income or wealth.
To make matters worse, these provisions require anyone currently holding these assets, which are often illiquid, to distribute or otherwise remove them from their IRA accounts within two years.
This will result in significant tax consequences for many people, including low and middle-income investors.
Google Cloud Announces Backup for Google Kubernetes Engine
Any actual lawyer want to confirm exactly what this law does? I read the text and I’m actually not sure, and one shouldn’t as a rule trust the submitter’s title as a summary on a politically-loaded topic without verification.

In particular, when is this information collected and by whom?
On the obverse, we could just eschew hierarchies of power altogether. No nodes to supervise in that case, and everyone is directly accountable. Of course we long ago crossed the Rubicon, and we're simply riding the momentum to the inflection point wherein we are all doomed.

Injecting more naive rationalist bureaucrats into the system won't quell its demise. Those who have the greatest leverage over world outcomes have no interest in remedying even an iota of the social decay. And those who directly act under the dictates of the moment of those people have only self-interest to motivate them. Those of us at the bottom are onlookers, helpless to move the inertial mass away from its predestined impact, or blind to it - either by deliberate delusion or by ignorance and perhaps both. All of this because we allowed the reins to be taken by mere men, unprepared to pilot the immeasurable potential of mankind responsibly.
Typically scope of a project: feature x and y are agreed to not be included but two sprints before release they become a must have, because otherwise Sales suddenly cannot sell the product.
This might be counter-intuitive but this market is still growing. Random reference from a quick Googling: "NEEDHAM, Mass., June 9, 2021 – The worldwide Ethernet switch market recorded $6.7 billion in revenue in the first quarter of 2021 (1Q21), an increase of 7.6% year over year. Meanwhile, the worldwide total enterprise and service provider (SP) router market revenues grew 14.4% year over year in 1Q21 to $3.4 billion. These growth rates are according to results published in the International Data Corporation" ...

"Cisco finished 1Q21 with a year-over-year increase of 3.4% in overall Ethernet switch revenues and market share of 49.3%. In the higher-speed segment of the Ethernet switch market (25Gb/50Gb,100Gb & 200Gb/400Gb), Cisco is the market leader with 40.9% of revenues. Cisco's combined service provider and enterprise router revenue grew 18.5% year over year, with enterprise router revenue decreasing 1.3% and SP revenues increasing 33.2% year over year. Cisco's combined SP and enterprise router market share stands at 37.6%."

A lot of cloud growth is reflected outside the cloud. Corporations still need networks even if they do some things in the cloud. There's generally just a lot more traffic all over the place.

This isn't really commodity. I work in this industry. a 400Gb switch isn't something you just build yourself or buy at your local electronics store. There is definitely competition but it's not exactly what I'd call commodification. What is true is that some of the building blocks are available...

There's definitely a range of future outcomes for this company but it's not gonna be the cloud that does it. Could be another bubble burst or major economic downturn combined with other factors (which I guess was sort of the Nortel story, though I doubt Nortel was sitting on as much cash as some of their contemporaries).
I was surprised when Cisco bought Tidal enterprise orchestration management tool (which I had worked with for years). Great way to get your foot in the door at a lot of Very Large financial companies offering professional software services. They've been buying up tons of B and C tier enterprise software for years, and a lot of blue chip clients in the process.
The report only mentions the cannon in passing, more than half way through. It would be easy to miss.

Seems like SOP to me.
I used to be a very hard headed atheist until I read the book "The Secrets of our Success" by Joseph Heinlein. That book speaks of how culture evolved along with genetics, and it made me realize how important tradition and religion really are to society. I am still atheist, but now very much encourage religious people to stay with their faith and continue their worship. There are definitely downsides to religion, but ultimately they encourage strong communal and familial values, which I think are very lacking in my generation.

And? You sure can't charge 500km in one day from domestic solar (which is the topic of this conversation). You might get 20km.
Yeah, exactly. Spectral colors don’t exist in this RGB cube, only linear combinations of 3 specific primaries do.

I agree with you - the question of purple has not been adequately answered, and I’m also becoming convinced that the subtlety and deepness of the question is not being understood or appreciated in the answer offered above. Just because people plot colors on a wheel doesn’t explain why pure violet is perceived as containing red. I’d say it’s probably the other way around - that one likely reason that artists in the past put red-purple-blue on the color wheel is because purple was already ambiguous - there’s a strange perceived similarity to the colors on opposite ends of the rainbow. A perceived red response to short wavelength blue colors, aka the left hump, is better at explaining the color wheel than the color wheel is at explaining purple.
If we’re doing anecdotes, I had a neighbor evicted about six years ago. He was carving things into the walls. I can't recall an exact timeline but i think it took under two months to evict him. I’d be worried if it took less time.

> Basically, though, rents aren't bad in Vancouver

Your argument seems to be “it’s worse elsewhere so quit complaining. I’ll remind you, this is the least affordable rental city in canada.
What if it was Aliens? /s

One of the reasons i despise the Silicon Valley tone of conversation is how naive (read removed from the brutality that exists in the world outside the US' protected borders) the line is.

Like, are you kidding me?
- Research Lab near outbreak
- Connected to person that proposed a similar GoF research for a grant in the US and was turned down
- History of loose ethical standards and evidence of published works connecting the CCP to military usage of viruses
- Absolutely no evidence of natural origin circumstantial or otherwise in spite of over 18 months of looking

And we have people here closing their eyes, fingers in their ears going "la la la" with moronic arguments like : "Can you show me the evidence?"

I mean, can you constructively participate in the discussion with an attempt to push it forward and call out the clear risks of weaponizing infectious vectors instead of saying "Nothing to see here, show me more" in the face of all we've seen.

All that does is gives a pass to the people doing this in the dark. Accident or not, that work is ongoing and if a literal global mass casualty event doesn't help regulate it, what will ?
Ask HN: How do you decide what non-fiction books to read?
Hey HN, I find that I always have a long list of books to read, and to be honest I can only read one book at a time, and it takes me a week or two to read it. For this list I compile self-help, learning, entrepreneurship kind of books, not the fiction entertainment kind of book. Fiction I can consume much quicker. A good self-help book usually means actionable, concrete guidance with just a sprinkle of theory.

The reviews from Goodreads or Amazon are inconsistent and often just false, and I've found the only reliable source of good books are my friends (and only a handful of them).

What system are you currently using to narrow that book list down and find the truly helpful reads?
"Secret investigation" carried out by all-powerful, faceless police-state agencies are incompatible with a free, democratic society.
bitcoin in China is mainly for speculation and money laundering. It is illegal for business to take bitcoins and operate exchanges. I don't think holding it or transferring it would be a problem, that's the base of bitcoin's decentralization.

There are A LOT scams going on with all coins, people put money into it without knowing anything about cryptocurrency. If you read recent news about Evergrande, when Chinese people invest money for speculation, no one is considering the risk of losing money. I wonder if this has something to do with this.
The vast majority of firearms that are used in crimes are obtained illegally, and thus will not be subject to these lists. The data on this is widely available. This legislation is purely a punitive political measure.
Some people hold opinions on pre-crime approach to crime. Some would even argue that creating lists of potential troublemakers, dissidents, and all around problematic characters is.. not noted for great results throughout history.. including that of US. I personally hold this really controversial opinion that crime should be addressed when crime is committed. Doing it before it is committed breaks the fabric of reality and/or common sense.
The assembly's analysis seems to provide the TL;DR:

Clarifie the process and parameters of disclosure of specified information to the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for research or statistical activities. The DOJ may at its discretion, also disclose specified information, to other nonprofit bona fide research institutions that are accredited by the United State Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation for the study of violence prevention in the matter prescribed. Requires that any material identifying individuals to only be used for research and statistical purposes and prohibits reports or publications derived from the material from identifying any specific individuals. Requires DOJ to establish procedures for these requests and allows researchers to be charged reasonable fees related to their requests

Yes, but my guess is the irrational crazies are also the ones who have the passion and balls to lead in potentially violent confrontations. Moderately dissatisfied people probably look at the work and risk associated with organizing and participating in protests and think nah.

Same boat.

> There are definitely downsides to religion...

Pretty minor ones. The basic concepts are well battle tested good ideas. Saying religion is bad is like saying democratic politics is bad - no, it is great because even when horrible people are in charge the fundamental positive influence of the institution persists.
NO and DK locked down harder, had more smart restrictions for longer and tested more than any other country in the world AFAIK. So it is better controlled now and border control is what matters most now.

We don't stay alone "enough" more than other countries for that to matter. The restrictions were just respected better, so they have been way more effective.

I've been told from friends in the UK and Spain, that the restriction were flaunted much more by people than we did and vaccine scepticism has been significantly bigger.
