Obviously I haven’t had time to take deep look into it but I love the ideology. The web development has become so complex without actually putting anything new on the table, the complexity comes from the endless efforts of stitching things together without taking a step back and considering the grand scheme of the things. Web technologists don’t see the forest from the trees and I believe there’s a great potential for simplification.
It’s for power users (assuming it actually works as advertised) - people who constantly keep messaging across apps; either for personal or professional needs. They already have multiple apps on their phones and they have to use them.

Not for people who find two messaging apps too much to have on a phone, or for people who’re talking about privacy.
This has drastically improved my writing too. It's ok to target a specific group of people when writing. Writing for the lowest common denominator hurts everyone sometimes - it might be too high level for beginners, but too much background info for experts.
this is horrendous. where are you located?
But that question is far harder to answer than testing the viral proteins in a lab. You seem to be dismissing this research whilst suggesting they concentrate on something that is probably impossible, thankfully, due to the fact that this variant hasn't spread much.
I sat in what should have been around the audio sweet-spot, if there was one, in the pretty good theater I went to, was paying very close attention, and still missed a few lines due to the mix. Most of those lines I missed again trying to watch it at home (where I have no hope, really, because it turns out this movie's too much for my usually-fine surround sound setup). I blame Nolan, and his... niche, at best, audio preferences. Plus Villeneuve for imitating it. I don't remember his previous films requiring this much active effort to tell WTF people are saying.
It seems backwards to me to take the bad situation that exists and make it worse to cripple more people?

I generally agree that at the lower bound there the cascading effect of penalties can be disproportionate and extreme, things like ending cash bail can be a way to improve this (though I'm not a policy expert). Making it similarly extreme for everyone seems bad? It also creates a disincentive for making money which seems like the opposite of what you want.
The issue is that vice taxes tend to be highly regressive.

Spirit duty in the UK is £28.74 per litre of pure alcohol. A ~£20 bottle of Jack Daniels pays a tiny bit over £8 of spirit duty, which is 40% of the sale price. A £250 bottle of 25 year old single cask Glenlivet pays a tiny bit under £8 of spirit duty, around 3% of the sale price.

I don't think it's entirely reasonable that the vice tax is a rounding error for fancy drinks, but amount to almost half the price you pay for cheaper booze.

All the permissions blocked I just described were in "My Documents".

What you mention happens with default installs, true. I just install all steam related in "C:\Steam", so I was convinced folder permissions would not affect me.

This is something new. Apps should not require special permissions to use "My Documents".
It really does not seem like a terrible idea to set off an arbitrary point at say 50 or 100 messages. Not everyone is going to be happy, sure, but it's clear.

More important I think is the kind of "control" that's exerted: it of course should be around developing factually accurate sources and promoting those instead (maybe a warning "This post contains keywords detected anonymously that suggest misinformation. Here is an alternative position"

The fundamental problem is that we are building our entire lives around a few systems that are completely opaque. Facebook, Google, and many other algorithms are still closed source, and to their own detriment they cannot reveal details of their inner workings. That's why we need a way to move to a radically open society that still allows for innovation and advanced technology.

So delivery is for wires, transmission, operations and safety (see wildfire maintenance as an example in CA). So whenever anyone new connects to the grid the cost will get defrayed through this mechanism. My theory is the more that people are becoming more effective at avoiding high generation fees the utilities will transfer the costs to the delivery fee increasing it over time to ensure they continue to get revenue.

Generation is for the portion generated - which will likely go up with the surge in commodity prices this year - except since you are paying retail rates it will take longer you aren't immediately exposed to whole electricity prices and the costs of electricity are also political issues in Ontario to a small degree.

Also in Ontario we sell power at a loss to Michigan (mainly because of overproduction of our Nuclear facilities). Its a real boondoggle.

Next.js reinvents so many things that already exist in PHP (also Python, Ruby). Check out for example what is already possible with Symfony in their docs[0]. Next.js "biggest" release just introduced middleware and html rendering with zero client-side js !

What people like in tools like next.js is not the framework itself but the abstraction over infrastructure, using platforms like vercel. Imagine a platform as cheap, modern and easy to use as vercel but for PHP, basically shared hosting on steroids. Do you believe people would still care so much about Next.js in that scenario ?

Tech Debt to USD Conversion
I see what you're saying. But given that the proportion of smokers has fallen by 2/3rds in the US, I think it's not just about the bans.

Indeed, I think what made the bans possible was declines in smoking rates. And those declines were partially driven by increasing tax. Look at California for an example:

https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/DataPortal/charts.htm?url=CigTaxSur...

Note the big jumps in cigarette tax revenue in 1967 and 1988. That 1988 jump is from Prop 99: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_California_Proposition_99

Then look at the bottom graph here, showing how CA smoking rates declined quickly from 1988 to 1995 when the indoor ban was put into place:

https://tobaccofreeca.com/tobacco-industry/2016-california-t...

Of course, a lot was going on there, including social changes and the use of a lot of that revenue to discourage smoking. But it would seem pretty bizarre to me that the lack of smoking in public places had nothing to do with it becoming significantly more expensive over time. Especially given what a sizable portion of the retail cost of cigarettes was taxes: https://www.tobaccofreekids.org/assets/factsheets/0210.pdf
There is no solution. Either you give people e2e and let them choose to do horrible things with the privilege or not.

Maybe a middle ground is that every e2e message is hashed and sent once, and if duplicate hashes are detected at scale (of the hashed message) you slow the propagation to 1 user per day.

Will edit this comment with more notes as I review it.

First thing I noticed is that Raspberry Pi / Other OS have the example dump into `temp.py` and then indicate that you should request `test.py` (while Win/Mac examples correctly have them create a `test.py` file), so that could be an issue for novices. (Novices running Linux? My son, for one ;) )

EDIT 1: Compile from Source has this issue, too.

EDIT 2: The bit about `directory/index.ext` definitely matches a lot of existing tooling, but not sure if it belongs in a tool that wants to avoid 20+ years of Web cruft? Extension-less files ought to work for the same outcome, right? Or alternatively if the extension would be unambiguous (eg `calculate.*` only matches `calculate.py` it could just be omitted?

EDIT 3: Handwriting query parsing code is not great. If you're not exposing explicit HTTP verbs (GET, POST, etc) or any of the HTTP headers (since I don't see any logic for handling the headers in the stdin) it's inconsistent to have the users hand-parse the query string or body, especially when it's error prone enough that you have more comments than code in that example. It may make sense to just point them at the Python's urllib library (particularly `urllib.parse.parse_qs` for this example to get a basic dictionary to work with).

EDIT 4: I just skimmed through three of the examples (a bash one, a C one, and a TS/Deno one). Besides the custom parsing logic in all of them, and keeping the "rapid prototyping / hacking" mentality of the project in mind (which I do agree is a good thing), what keeps nagging me is: "what's the off-boarding strategy?" Since it is not intended to be secure for real deployments, is it just "rewrite it in your language of choice"? It would be nice if there were examples of what to do if your prototype is ready to be converted into a "real" project with testing, security, etc in mind, even if it was just an essay on all of the stuff that QuickServ didn't do that a real web server needs to handle. Perhaps in the future user-contributed guides for particular languages and frameworks (eg "Convert your Python QuickServ prototype to Django") could also be added to help them move on more easily, since paradoxically for this project the easier it is to migrate away, the more likely people will use it.
YES! This is similar to the data I was looking at. Thank you for sharing the numbers.

I am alarmed that the media in its pursuit of clicks and eyeballs would amplify the divisions using such collusion. An example article put forward by a main stream news organization: https://abcnews.go.com/US/type-gun-us-homicides-ar-15/story?...

The topic is already quite sensitive and divisive. Was it really necessary to use the image with a gun covered in american flag? If this is not fanning the flames of divisions, what is? And now they want to collude?

I have a crap ton of bees visit my flowers and happened to get chatted up one day while outside garden gin by someone who keeps bees. If memory serves he’s about 10 blocks away, so I never would have solved that on my own just by walking around looking for hives.

Could be you have new neighbors.

Half of my bees are bumbles (at least one nest in my yard), maybe the odd mason, and hoverflies. But I’m on an edge of a garden district, less than a mile from a river, so I see lots of things. I’m pretty sure I’m part of a corridor between the two.
All right, this is interesting. How does this Matt Stoller fellow define the capitalism he speaks of?
Having now turned the computer back on I've also confirmed that these flags are indeed now being passed to the kernel when it is booted, as seen in the output of

cat /proc/cmdline

which shows the following:

And that's the "rcu_nocbs=0-15 processor.max_cstate=5" we added to our GRUB2 config shown right inside of there.

FWIW I don't spend a lot of energy; it's become habitual. I just don't hand out my PII simply because someone asked. And if people ask me for PII when I don't think they need it, I'll deal with the hassle of finding another way to solve my problem.

Last year I had a jarring experience driving through some of the agricultural land near the Salton Sea en route to Bombay Beach coming down from JTNP, taking back roads.

The general region is desert, water and food is scarce, but through this agricultural zone there's this dense pocket of food and water on the surface.

I was in a Miata with the top down, and the amount of chemicals they were using to keep the pests/insects away from this lush green oasis in a land of nothing was noxious. I hadn't exited my car, just drove through these fields on the farm roads, and it left me feeling sick with a headache and nausea well into the next day.

Of course I didn't encounter a single insect, spotless windshield.
The ability to synthetically generate real words could be considered a feature -- a sign that it is working well. Was the definition correct?
>In this case it seems unlikely that >10% of smokers consistently transport their butts as long as it takes to find a receptacle. Outside of Scouting or military facilities, it's so rare that it commands attention.

Your assertion is a reasonable one, especially as it doesn't claim that specific numbers of people participate in a particular behavior.

However, GP stated unequivocally that "at least 90% of smokers are like this"

That assertion can't be supported by facts/data AFAIK.

I suppose you could argue that GP was being hyperbolic, but as the old saw goes, "claims require evidence and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Take from that what you will.
You are a FUCKING IDIOT.

I think it means that any page that only renders server components can just push the built html to the browser. If there were to be client components, like an upvote button, react would be required for that to hydrate the DOM.

It’s very similar to what Astro is doing. Only adding the JS if it’s actually necessary.
Swimming pool temperatures in the south easily get over 85, and sometimes 90 degrees in the summer.

> I think HN really hates the histrionics that started this thread, "They heroically died for our capitalist masters". When people talk about HN becoming Reddit, this is one of the things they are talking about.

Oh absolutely, it's very clear HN hates that. Redditification is an ever-present threat, as I learned when I turned on showdead and finally saw, in almost every comment section, the root-level graveyards of "Very cool!" etc.

But that's an entirely different memeplex. HN hates that, but it also hates the idea that there's enormous monetary incentive to ignore existential problems caused by modern capitalism. One of the ways that displeasure might be shown is whataboutism regarding genuine if unhelpful "histrionics".
The Woke-Up Call: A Review of “Cynical Theories”
Though I bet the HBM power advantages will have them reaching for HBM3/4 when it's finally ready.
There's a gambler's fallacy at work here, though. Our Fourth Amendment right to encrypted private communications is so important that if we lose it (or give it up), any future wins in areas like corporate transparency, monopoly regulation, and net neutrality won't ultimately matter. We won't have the freedom needed to benefit from them.

To the extent Haugen disagrees, she's not on "our side."
I certainly consider it very thoughtful, and appreciate the time it takes to craft a considered message.

I do hear the "scale" concern, and it's interesting to think about it. I.e. for me, it immediately pops the question "why is scale a problem for common ownership, but not for individual ownership". I suspect - without having any proof - that scale is the thing that makes the transition impossible, not that it's an inherent problem for community property itself. Practically, the outcome is indeed the same - if you can't safely transition, the end state is impossible, even if it itself would be a stable state.

This also raises the question of democracy & unequal ownership as a possible stable state - Plato was certainly concerned enough about it, and history has done nothing to discourage that belief since then. There are plenty of rather deadly examples of failed non-communist states.

If nothing else, your comment (and the subthread in general) has lead me to a rather interesting paper: "Social instability and redistribution of income", by Josef Falkinger. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01762... (Yeah, as usual, paywalled. Elsevier)

It's a deliberate attempt at modelling outcomes based on income distribution - which I think attempts to get to the heart of the "impossible" issue. It only tackles income, not wealth, but there's a rich set of references :)
Imagine a much higher price. Would it still be worth it if the degree cost 10 million USD? How about 50 million?

At some point anyone is going to acknowledge that the price isn't worth it. The ROI matters to absolutely everyone, without exception.

It's a bigger deal for developers, as they don't have to give up 30% to Steam, and they can directly distribute to their end users on their own site by embedding.

Not to mention instant cross-platform availability across PC/Mac/Android and iOS. Even Xbox supports WebGL2 via the new Chromium Edge they shipped on there recently.
They both had effects. I personally know people who quit smoking when it got expensive (for different levels of expensive). I also personally know people who quit smoking when they were convinced that it was unhealthy.

Though all of the above quit before 1990 (US). Anyone who still smokes today, knows it is bad and costs money: they don't care.

Now that I think about it most who quit because it was expensive were probably influenced by the unhealthy part, but it was the cost that finally tipped them over.

If there is one part of the german system I'd recommend other countries to (partially) emulate, it is the apprenticeship model. Germany has multiple ways a person can finish school; from Hauptschulabschluss (limited apprenticeships), over Realschulabschluss (apprenticeships), and Fachabitur (apprenticeships + applied studies in a field you specialised in) to Abitur (everything).

The thing is that finishing an apprenticeship enables you to do an applied Bacelor in the field. After a Bachelors, you can continue on in academia if you like. And you can go back to school at 30 to finish your (Fach-)Abitur, if you failed it before. The state will even pay you to attend. There's very clear paths to jobs, but also a lot of ways to change your direction.

Going back to apprenticeships, they are plentiful and often well-payed. For example, most of the Sys-admins I know did an apprenticeship, which consists of 3 years of school while working half-time at a company. This combination of school and work is the best of both worlds for experience, and it enables young people to get a career path without too much though.
I disagree. Candid photographs are way more natural and interesting than ones in which everyone is posing. I would much prefer people not to ask permission before they take my photo. In fact, the photo I use as my profile picture on social media was taken without my knowledge, and it’s better because of that.
