While agreeing with your general premise: pertussis is most definitely not extinct, unfortunately. We see recurrent waves of it in California about every five years. The problem is in adults (who haven't had a booster in ages) it's frequently mistaken for a bad cold, but it can kill young children.

Also, because of their sheer ability to spread, MMR diseases can be big problems outside of the United States, though they are usually restricted to small pockets in the USA for exactly the reasons you mention. This is why we have to pay attention to community levels of vaccination, not just state or county-level. All outbreaks start local.
As I have encountered it, the vast cost of the standardization process is already borne outside of ISO because creation and update of the standards is done by outside participants. Hosting the standards documents is a minuscule cost and fees seems mostly a holdover when potentially large bound physical document publishing and distribution was involved.

Maybe it's not "hurr durr" and people have a legitimate reason to hold that opinion. To those people, any distinction between spyware and "good" telemetry is merely academic and effectively irrelevant.

This is conflating people who want or need to use steel with those who don't. Look at the JunkFoodTasterDotCom YouTube channel for example. He always cuts stuff. He uses a plastic knife. He's not an engineer.

That is more to my point: Steel isn't needed in a surprising number of knife use cases. I'm not surprised that an engineer wants to speak on behalf of steel and its properties. But that probably won't stop product designers from noticing a huge and tantalizing materials gap, around redefining what makes a knife useful to a consumer.
I sometimes try to follow the journalistic reporting way of writing. (Not the clickbait style mind you.)

So I start it off with a few brief paragraphs of text explaining what I did, what happened and what I expected to happen. Each paragraph only a couple of sentences long.

Then below that I fill in with more details.

Of course this still means that if you glance at it you still see a lot of text and may not bother reading. But my hope is that if by chance the recipient does read the first few paragraphs then it will provide the necessary motivation to either read on or to begin investigating on their own.

Because they see their solution as more secure. Intranet sites still work because Chrome only prefers their DNS first, it will still use your system settings if it doesn't work.
That's a good point. I guess my point may be applied more broadly, i.e. I see a rise in social conscience about the impact of one's work. Somebody working in travel may become concerned about their climate impact. A robotics engineer may not want their work applied to weapon systems... et cetera. I've found it rather difficult to find a for-profit enterprise to employ me that doesn't have some ethical dilemma that comes along with the job.
Ebikes are more and more common, they already make up half the sales of new bikes in many markets. That's the hills dealt with.

And in regards to cold temperatures, if the only time you daily spend in the cold is the few meters from your house's door to your car's door and then to your work's door, then you just think it is cold because you aren't living it like someone who's active and raises their body temperature in the cold.

Currently I cycle 10km to work and arrive before the sun is barely up, I enjoy those rides, I have good lights on the bike and can use cycling paths on 2/3 of the way. The thing I'm really looking forward to is the snowy days when the world is silenced and cycling though a few centimeters of snow becomes magical.
yea. plenty of places in the world where people don't have cars in general and afaik old people get by just fine. Japan does not have good bike infra like the netherlands but the majority of people don't use a car much either
My view is that this is an issue finance has already solved. Just regulate ad exchanges for fair practice, require disclosure or transparency to identify anticompetitive behavior, and then license the fuck out of everyone who participates in the market. Seems like the industry has grown enough and clearly is suffering due to lack of sufficient management of externalities and monopoly powers.

The harder part is executing on the above strategy. You will need new institutions or see an expansion or extension of existing institutions. Imagining the FCC trying to do this seems both a likely approach and an incredibly ineffective one.

I would add too that improved regulation of consumer and private data would help significantly. This is probably more likely than the above.

This lawsuit seems like the perfect timing and impetus to get serious about regulation in the digital ecosystem. Just hope we don't fuck it up.

You might like this post also from today describes a simple science fair like way to demonstrate the effects of hinged flap surfaces. I called it a Venetian valve wing but whatever..

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28950161

I thought about it a year ago but put it away due to no interest from my peers. I only brought it up to news.ycombinator recently because of the cut scenes from the new dune movie. You can try the experiment for yourself. It does in fact work. The only immediate benefit I see so far is that trust power does not get sheered at the edges with super sonic helicopter edges. Meaning the flaps, even if they are traveling at a whopping 100 meters per second are moving far less than would cause a super sonic shock wave like helicopter blades. An aircraft built around it would be more maneuverable, and have more lift power than similar sized aircraft. I can almost picture an ornithopter picking up a tank and transporting it to the battle field with the lift these things can develop. I'd animate it but there seems little point. This thing is going to show up soon and neither of us will get credit for the idea. But it does work..

What power do you think American software developers have here that they're not exercising? They should all quit their jobs and move into hardware design so they could band together and start a non-profit chip manufacturer to support some new laptop company? And in the meantime, not buy from any other corporation so we can "hit them in their wallets" and coerce them to... something? All so Apple might offer color options on their laptops?

I don't think most of them underestimate the relentless greed of corporations. If anything, HN is one of the forums I'm on that's the most anti-corporate while not being explicitly communist/anarchist.

You can dismiss the OP as simply complaining, but they're also literally writing an alternate OS for tips. Is that not "using their free bandwidth to do good"? Does it not count because it's not hardware? What about companies like System76 and Framework that are seemingly trying to do exactly what you're claiming people in the US aren't doing?

I generally agree with where you're trying to go, and the futility of just complaining, but you're painting with a really broad brush, assuming a lot of bad/ignorant intentions on the part of anyone you disagree with, and only proposing vague "go do something you ignorant privileged Americans" to solve it.

There were MP3 players that did fit into a jeans pocket, but they used flash, which at the time only had the capacity for a few CDs at most.

85% would likely be enough to stop the original COVID variant, but Delta is much more transmissible and likely needs a 90% vaccination rate. And that 90% has to be widespread -- pockets of lower vaccination rates can incubate the disease.

And until we vaccinate children, every school is an incubator.

Eh, I think it’s potentially useful even if everybody recognizes it. It’s superficially similar enough to a normal wave hello and fast enough to perform that it could be done surreptitiously (as opposed to frantically waving for help or elaborate pantomime). I’m not sure if it’s useful or just a feel-good thing, but I don’t think us non-domain-experts can reject the former without more info.
Re: agree on a layer of abstraction; the ur-problem^ of governance; abstracting the mechanisms with principles

Those can be important. I think in a modern context these will probably exist, because we're already familiar with charters, constitutions and such. They're probably quite necessary for dealing with disputes or property implications in a legally compatible way.

That said, I think considering these primary is probably a mistake, over extrapolating from the macropolitics we know.

The idea is not to design a decision making process. Let a process emerge, using our natural social abilities as people to to navigate it. Whatever emerges will probably be people dependant.

A designed system that works, has answers and resolutions for every eventuality and problem is a least common denominator system. You might have to default to this is you need governance for a random collection of people without a binding thread. But for any real community with solidarity, they likely make it work in a more organic way. It'll depend on the individuals and results will vary a lot between groups.

^What's an ur-problem?
I don't think it is necessarily about being "smart" - a story like this simply confirms many biases people have about big, "evil" corporations and even very smart people are prone to confirmation biases.

I read a comment somewhere in hacker news about a guy managing their daily planning on a locally saved plain text file. I started doing it and _loved_ it. But after a while I was missing some of that nice WYSIWYG UI interface. I couldn't find an existing tool which allows me to continue to use that local text file and also have a nice pretty interface.

One thing led to another and I ended up scratching my own itch by creating a web app [1] which lets you edit a locally saved text file. It is a simple tool with some niceties of tabbed browsing, `#tags` and `[[backlinks]]`.

Before someone in the comment asks if I have tried xyz tool and the answer is - yes I have, but I wanted a fast web app that allows local file editing and is also fun to build as a side project.

> As somebody who's been hit a few times by cyclists, one time suffering long-term injury to my elbow, I feel like I've grown pretty attuned to getting out of their way

I feel like getting hit by cyclists a few times does not mean you're more attuned to getting out of their way, but rather attuned to either walking in bike-lanes or just totally not paying attention. Or unlucky. Normally I'd say just unlucky, but....

I don't think the attitude of "you're completely within your rights to push back and kindly show them the edges of the bike lane" shows a winning strategy for "getting out of their way".

The reality is that we're all travelers within the cities we live in and visit, we all have places we want to get, and most of us do not want to interfere with each other negatively. "pushing back" is not the way you cultivate that, and not what most pedestrians or cyclists expect.

That’s what I’m getting at. The committees are generally funded by big companies who basically sign the rights over to ISO. ISO then charges you hundreds of dollars for a single PDF of a standard (which may contain over a dozen).

It reminds me of scientific journals that do nothing but charge money for other people’s work. It reeks of rent seeking.

Sure - there's answers to a lot of it, but you're still talking about having to acquire a ton of land that's likely in the middle of nowhere and putting in a big construction project. It's not too dissimilar to the sort of work that's required, and the risks associated with, adding new oil pipelines, and those have been a complete mess of corruption and environmental and land-rights protests.
It's an optics issue. Immigrants will come often come with family in tow and often live together.

Compared to American families which are spread out with usually only the immediate family living together.

So it just looks like they have bigger families- but of course it's usually quite the opposite, they are just new to the country.

User mode code is a different scenario. There are three possibilities:

- unsigned code pops up with a big warning 'your pc will explode' or something like that when you try to run it.
- signed code does not need a cross signed certificate. Any CA can include the code signing oids and voila. This displays as yellow but the CN is extracted as the publisher name.
- Finally EV certificates give you 'instant reputation' i.e. no orange warning. The difference is entirely audit related and the OIDs you may include. The crypto is identical to normal certs.

This I'm fine with. I understand Microsoft wanting to protect their kernel and the user experience and I'm on board with that but I like the fact that windows has traditionally been a very open system. It is a real shame it is heading the other way.

I haven't developed windows drivers for years though, or used windows as my daily machine for years either (it was Linux at home, windows at work, now Linux for both).
