Hey, can you please follow the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)? I appreciate your points and the perspective you're representing. But we need you to do it without name-calling and personal attacks.

I know that can be tough when sensitive places are being prodded, but I don't think anyone is being nasty here. Also, as a bonus, it will make your comments more persuasive.

(One irony, btw, of threads where people argue about national characteristics is that often the arguments turn out to be between people of that background themselves, typically without realizing it. Of course that doesn't give anyone a pass to break the rules, but it does change the frame.)

Imagining that future is about people wearing VR devices on their head (even as minimal as a pair of glasses) is hard to grasp.

"In their head" would be a different matter but that is not what the current technology is focusing on (apart from Neuralink).

Edit: not propagating for any such vision the future! just noticing that wearing stuff on head would be clunky and impractical for true immersion.

Amazon self-reported more incidents. This does not mean that more incidents occurred in Amazon warehouses vs other smaller ones.

These articles are lame. If I were to give a reason to switch to Linux, I'd say it's because it's a full featured, nice OS and you can do nearly anything on it. But nowadays the browser is 90% of anyone's use case, games as well, and between browser standards, Steam making strides towards platform agnosticism, there's not really any major reason to use any OS over another unless you have a pretty specific use case (for Windows users that usually means Office or specific games, for Linux users usually something to do with dev environments). They all do mostly the same things.
It's pretty likely they will; they'll just have to crack them first. Pretty much everyone does it with retro consoles today, since CDs are inconvenient and expensive for the core audience of that wants to play video games and DRM is always breakable. It'll probably be easier though, because it almost assuredly won't require you to take out a soldering iron, like you have to with most legacy consoles.
I absolutely love that book. Category theory has changed the way I think about so many things. Maybe the most prominent way category theory has influenced my thinking is that I always ask "what is the dual situation?" now, often leading to productive insights.

Absolutely not in equal amounts. The far right loves to infiltrate police forces while the far left is often very untrusting of the police.
> I think the idea is that ad tech makes ads more valuable?

This is what they want us to believe. I am pretty sure that in some years we will look at this claims from ad tech in the way that we see today the mid-century claims from Big Tobacco about the benefits of smoking.

> Maybe the future will be this personalization happens offline on the user's device.

It's already part of the present. This is exactly how Brave does the ad-matching. To make it perfect the only thing that I think is missing is for the user to have a way to train their own matching model, or at least to provide some kind of feedback about the types of ads that are relevant to them.

> And we all know that segment largely comes from particular geographies.

I believe that most companies already operate on the assumption that they will provide the service globally and lower-income markets are subsidized by richer regions. That is certainly true for any product that depends on network effects.

And for the products that do not depend on network effects, then the segmentation is likely to be a good thing. A more diverse set of companies, trying to solve the specific problems of different markets - instead of pushing for one-size-fits-all plans from big Corporations - is good thing in my book.
It is only a matter of time before PRC annexes the island of Taiwan and TSMC production is hugely disrupted. The USA did not win the last two proxy wars against China (North Vietnam and North Korea). This time will be no different.
No those are not similar cases. Yours is urgent, violent, tiny scale, and individual level. The individual doesn't have any agency in this situation. The alternative is get shot and robbed.

There are several things:

* The corruption in the unions gets a lot of press, now and historically.

* There are lots of stories where union workers can't be fired so they just sleep at their desk.

* We don't have good worker protections. There is no political appetite for it and also no strong public sentiment for it. This sounds counter intuitive but there is this attitude that people get what they deserve. "They could just get a different job", "No one is forcing them to work there". Even look at our vacation policies compare to Europe. There is a mentality that hard work (even being exploited) is a goal to strive for.

Ask HN: Why goto Still Exists in C#?
I mostly disagree with this dis on dream work:

"And if we simply stopped, it might be possible to make ourselves a much more reasonable set of promises: for instance, to create an “economy” that lets us actually take care of the people who are taking care of us."

There is a danger in focusing all our attention on utility. I am not disagreeing that humans can be lazy but don't think we should put the useful above the good, which is what I see this argument doing. Not that I know what the good is but I favor questioning or probing possibilities more than doing something "useful"
The Anger of Tesla Fans Is Becoming a Problem
> So I wonder what marketing techniques they use to make people feel this way; the emotions are strong, and widely shared.

It's easy. 1) Listen to the fans when they suggest a feature even if it doesn't click when first hearing about it, but then approve upon the initial suggestion, turning it into something I myself would want to use too.

2) Ignore the haters except for telling them how to disable that one feature that is so abhorrent it makes the whole tool unusable:

(setq auto-mode-alist
(delete (cons git-rebase-filename-regexp 'git-rebase-mode)

Ya, libvf.io works on nearly all recent Nvidia consumer cards with the exception of Ampere. The same goes for Intel GPUs like the DG1/DG2.
There is no need to use a server card.

Edit: There's not really an explicit need to trick the card. Nvidia co-wrote the VFIO-Mdev API with Intel and RedHat which is what we use. If you want to use the optional nv merged driver package that will do some of the things you mention but it's not required.
If a cop beats the shit out of you for no reason, on camera, against policy and in violation of constitutional rights and doesn’t get fired; you can thank the union.

When the city bureaucracy cant’t process your permit application without an extra 3 months delay, and you wonder why they don’t speed up the process, or work a bit harder to handle things: thank the union.

When you can’t train more doctors, because it is in doctors interest to be scarce: thank the ~union~ guild.

When the factory shuts down, and the town loses its primary industry altogether because it can’t be productive with American workers fighting modernization: thank the union.

I don’t like unions because they do nothing but cause problems and make society less efficient for everyone. We already know how to make life better for workers, which is to run the economy hot (basically one of the few things Trump got right; economy was looking good for marginal workers ~2017-2019) and use labor regulations in the cases where that isn’t enough. Running the organizations inefficiently is not actually necessary to improve conditions for workers.
A bit about smoking meats, which is an ancient, but wonderful way of cooking them, would make an interesting addition.

That a union can lead to negative outcomes is not an argument in favor of no-unions, I think, it's an argument that that union should be improved.

The basic gist of unions (or "collectives" or co-ops), that they offer employees and workers leverage and collective bargaining power to counteract arbitrary changes, still stands as necessary.

I also have experience with public sector unions, and though management might dislike them, I know very very few employees who would choose to be non-unionized instead. It's literally giving yourself up to the whims of your employer for no gain.

> I get that corporate=bad, but do we want them to become more poorly run and inefficient than they are now?

Do we want them to succeed at the cost of basic human dignity, or by dragging people into shitty working conditions? "inefficient" for whom? That human dignity should come at the expense of corporate profits is, I think, always a grotesque position to hold. We can mitigate that out by understanding how profit can co-exist with safe and good working conditions for everyone.
There are many more options than feudalism, fascism, or communism. And my point is that the lack of awareness of them is part of the problem.

For example, there's the form of Democratic Socialism I propose above: where we replace the current business structure with worker cooperatives funded by regulated loans or crowd sourcing that compete with each other in a free market. We know worker cooperatives work, because there are many successful worker cooperatives operating well in the current capitalist economy. There's no reason to believe they would stop functioning well in a free market economy where all businesses are worker run.

That's just one example. The next system project has collected a number of additional ones: https://thenextsystem.org/systems

And like I said, I have a whole bookshelf full of alternative proposals. Some of which don't make a whole lot of sense. Some of which are very plausible. And some of which are already working in micro, just waiting to be tried in macro.
Alternate take: advertisers are willing to pay 2-4x more for Google ads.

> Should you encounter, at some point in your life, a situation where a police officer is pointing a gun at you, you will do whatever the fuck they are telling you to do. That's the grim reality.

I'm not sure if that's grim, though; don't most people want it to be exactly that way? We grant the police extraordinary power and some amount of immunity on purpose.

The most interesting point to me in this was the observation that it could be things associated with youth, which made me think immediately of John Cleese's brilliant talks on creativity. He (Cleese) makes the point that good ideas need time, in two ways: time without pressure to produce, and time set aside to focus. Both of these are so, so much harder for late or mid stage career adults to make. I truly believe this is the most important ingredient in getting interesting things done in the second half of life.
> If I were innocent and accused of kidnapping someone I'd check with my lawyer and then hand over my phone because it would exonerate me.

I think it's very unlikely that there would be any exculpatory evidence on the phone of someone wrongly accused of kidnapping. It's way more likely that there would be something innocent that can be used as an indication of guilt by the prosecution. I can't imagine any lawyer advising their client to voluntarily give the prosecution that kind of evidence, especially as the client almost certainly doesn't remember everything that's on their phone. Lawyers don't like asking witnesses questions they don't already know the answer to. This is like asking a million such questions with next to no probability of any favorable answer.

> I'm inclined with the ruling, but let's be pragmatic here for a moment and recognize whether or not we're seeking actual just outcomes.

It sounds like you are assuming that the defendant is guilty. Do you have anything beyond a flawed and (at least for now) overturned trial to support that assumption?

> I'd imagine they should make getting a court order for such a serious crime very quickly kind of a priority.

It should never be legal to force someone to give up passwords or otherwise aid in their own prosecution.

Specifically, formaldehyde-based glues.

"Most manufactured wood building materials contain one of these two types of formaldehyde-based glues:

* Phenol-formaldehyde (PF)

* Urea-formaldehyde (UF).

Its water resistant properties make phenol-formaldehyde glue more effective for production of exterior wood materials. Urea-formaldehyde glue, cheaper and less tolerant of excessive moisture, is most often used for interior materials including wall paneling, flooring and cabinetry.

Hm. I think your best bet is to make it easy for archive.org to archive.

archive.org will work on making your legacy technology work, as they are doing for flash, for example. Or they will find projects to make that work. That has a higher probability to work, opposed to finding a silver bullet now.

Though, the silver bullet there would be to minimize technological complexity. Make a simple static site with hugo, for example. That's easy to archive entirely.

It's called activism. You're just an activist for a right wing ideology so you're labeling the people who believe the opposite as you as some kind of monsters.

The fact is that Stock is also an activist and an insidious one at that. Right wingers are constantly freaking out about LGBTQ issues, "critical race theory", BLM, vaccines.. they're the most delicate snowflakes in the world. It's a conservative form of bigotry that thankfully the world is growing out of (sadly HN is not, but that's why this place is a the joke of our industry).

This is all bog-standard bolshevik/communist propaganda dressed up in modern lingo. Your "co-ops" are just "soviets" (literal definition "council"). These "worker councils" were officially democratic as laid out in various USSR constitutions, and even the names of some communist bloc countries such as East Germany (German Democratic Republic) and North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea).

In practice of course, none of the freedoms of decision making we typically ascribe to western democratic nations existed despite these labels. The reason, as always, is that significant coercion and force is required to get people to give up control of their property and wealth. This inevitably leads to not only authoritarianism, but also wealth being transferred to the state instead of the people.
Nobody is even suggesting that the perpetrator shouldn't continue to be punished (when caught).
>they are using the term to essentially dismiss Linux as a platform

The original framing of 'year of the Linux desktop' from back in the 90s was predicated on the assumption that desktop OSes were mature, that Desktop Linux would soon catch up in usability with the proprietary ones, and then free would win. It was the precursor to Google's "open always wins" mantra with Android.

That is almost certainly never going to happen, and it's fine. The Linux desktop scene is very mature at this point, and we're all the better for it being there as a developer, sysadmin and hobbyist playground. If the traditional GNOME, KDE, xfce, etc style Linux desktop never becomes a mainstream option for high street users that's fine and it's not dismissive. It's just recognising the reality, after well over 20 years.

Nobody here wants to “get rid of trans people”, and I think that turn of phrase pretty clearly demonstrates what I’m concerned about. A lot of people have become convinced that, if you don’t agree with their relatively new (and evolving!) ideas about sex and gender, the disagreement by itself constitutes violence against trans people. That mindset seems fundamentally incompatible with academic freedom on gender issues.

> modern desktops catching up to Windows look and feel

Honestly, ever since Gnome Shell Linux has been ahead of Windows in look and feel, IMO anyway.

That being said, the year of the Linux desktop isn't a thing anymore because honestly, desktops (or laptops) aren't that much of a thing anymore. For consuming media, phones, tablets and TVs are the main devices. For gaming, phones and consoles. Laptops/desktops are mostly for work, most people I know don't even own one.

My experience is different and I find Google ads as (in)effective as other ad networks.

As a consumer I certainly wouldn’t think they are 2-4x as useful.

I think their price is based on the fact that they have a near monopoly on search and lock-in with search on android.
This way of writing headlines can be exploited.

situation: A has 0% take rate, B has 1% => "B charges infinitely more than A"

Perhaps better in that case would be just stating the facts "A takes 0%, B takes 1%" or "A leaves you 100% , B leaves 99%".

The point is, from a consumer pov the take rate actually doesn't matter as much as the opposite, the "keep rate". And just adding in multipliers is so easily exploitable.

Not defending google, just as written the implied math has multiple interpretations, some okay some bad.
