To expand a little on why this isn't something I am actually proposing, beyond my not having anyone in particular to propose it to or any expectation anyone listens, I haven't thought it through as deeply as it deserves.

In particular, there are a number of responsibilities assigned to the House of Representatives with the justification (at least notionally) that it is the more... well... representative body. If we make it - of itself - less representative, then we should consider those duties in turn, whether that original justification is well motivated and still important, and whether that should push us to move them elsewhere or change their form.

There are doubtless other things that need thinking through, but that's a potentially meaty source of them that comes readily to mind.
Not to you, maybe. Good thing you're free to keep your own email. Clearly getting your emails scanned isn't a issue most people care about or Gmail wouldn't be the defacto standard.
No worries! It's just an application of the one-year rule (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html)
There is no man or info page for "command" on Ubuntu, I guess it's just a bash builtin ("which command" doesn't find it). "which" has a man page though.
The latency comes because it seems services fall back to a server reroute for a media stream for example if you have a double nat situation they can't get through to route directly. It's not the NAT, its the approaches used to work around the NAT. This hits particularly hard with IPv6 (ie, the fallback will be a server that does next leg IPv4 if needed).

We hear that IPv6 has more IPs than people. Great. It should be easier, not harder, to get a block of these IPs.

ISPs don't want to hand out static blocks.

Static RIR allocations also poor and in some ways harder than it was to get IPv4 allocations early on (Have 13 end sites (offices, data centers, etc.) within one year or 2000 devices etc) or go to IPv6 multi-homing.

The limiting factor in some of this is not IP address quantity but routing complexity - I understand why they may want to limit things from that side, but it limits the utility of the space.

And all of it is harder to configure and operate for most folks. Sure, Google was maybe all in on IPv6 for google cloud from the start, but they have crazy money - and even for them I'm sure it was a pain and a big lift to offer that as a service to their GCP customers 15 years ago.

For the average person -> it's still not that good.

Note: I'm kidding about google and their rockstars delivering IPv6 early on. It was as painful for them with all their experts as everyone else - which tells you something.

One clear pain point, ISPs not giving out static IP's (v6). So what's point of huge space?

> Learning from failures becomes cheaper than having to predict every possible failure mode up front.

But this assertion is wrong. There's a minimum price of failure in space. To have just a bare minimum of safety you must understand at least some failure modes of things you're sending into space. That requires testing and qualification. It doesn't matter if our hypothetical drill costs $10 or $100, to even think of launching it in the first place requires thousands of dollars in qualification for the environment. At that point the difference in launch cost is negligible to the point of unimportant.

Safety regulations are written in blood. The Apollo I disaster occurred in part because the behavior of nylon (Velcro and cargo netting)[0] in the crew cabin in a pure oxygen environment was not understood. A material that was perfectly safe in an Earth-like environment had a catastrophic failure mode in a pure oxygen at high pressure like during the "plugs out" test being conducted.

You can't just throw random crap into enclosed environments to tear them out in situ. That's how to write uncomfortable letters to next of kin. Real life isn't Kerbal Space Program. You don't respawn or reload a save game if your ship explodes.

> In most fiction where a "metaverse" or equivalent is popular, the world is in shambles.

I mean, the trajectory of the world isn't great right now...

I could easily imagine a VR "game" in the near future that is just "walk around a virtual zoo that has leopards, rhinos, orangutans, gorillas and giraffes" because the real world no longer has them.

> When you think about it, of course this would be the case. Why would people reject the real world for the internet?

This is a good observation, but it's important to remember that quality of real world life is very fucking far from uniformly distributed now. There are already many people across the world whose personal life is in shambles enough that they spend every free moment escaping it in media consumption and video games.

Sure, if you have a good life, the metaverse pales in comparison. But what if you're stuck in a shithole town with no jobs and no prospects? At some point, frame rate and vertex count becomes less of an issue than "not watching yet another friend get addicted to opioids".

Maybe that's the real end-stage-capitalism opportunity for a soulless corporation: Everyone working on the metaverse is so focused on making it a primo experience that appeals to people already living well. Instead, maybe the audience to target is people whose real life already sucks. Sell virtual water in the desert, not the oasis.

Heck, it would just a one letter change for Facebook to go from Meta to Meth.
I see it like 3D animation in the 80s. It's still very early technology and there's no practical applications for it at the current cost.

Apple's best bet here would be to co-fund TSMC building fabs just dedicated to Apple, which they would operate as a joint venture or whatever arrangement makes the most sense. It wouldn't make any sense to go it alone on new fabs when they have the tremendous expertise of TSMC to utilize. It might also be reasonable to distribute the fabs as much as possible to different locations around the world, rather than concentrating them near China / in Taiwan (put them in the US, in Europe, in Asia).

It sometimes certainly works strategically to deprive other companies of chips by buying up TSMC's supply, however that can also obviously work against Apple in a big way. If you really believe in your products and the demand for them, you'd want the dedicated supply from fabs you co-own.

I don't doubt your overall conclusion that the majority of mindshare is with a couple big apps/sites, but mobile data seems like a very poor metric for this, and it's no surprise that big video and image sites dominate the list. Time spent per app/site seems like a much better metric. I spend a ton of time on HN but I'm sure my overall data transmission would barely equal a couple second video clip.

As people pointed out here, a lot of these definitions aren't correct or are logically self-contradictory (e.g. an air fryer being an airtight device).

Yes. That requires another specific decision to commit a crime. Respiratory viral infection requires no additional decision on part of the viral vector.

I agree there shouldn't be a blanket decriminalization of drug use because it does alter judgement/motivation and make a theft or even violent crime more likely.

But the harm or benefit of a policy is not measured by how many specific decisions are performed, but rather by the overall effect of the policy on the community, no? So let's just talk about that rather than counting steps between A and B.
Sure, I agree with that and that's my point. You can have your basic 1M house, but your 1M house sells for 1M at the end of the day. My 150K house will never be 1M. There's more involved than regional cost of living (such as salary, value of assets, value of work performed in relationship to where you live). You can move anywhere and some jobs will be the same or similar enough in pay, but my job will never pay enough for me to own a 1M house.

In summary, some of these wealthier on paper people you mentioned way back may in fact just be wealthier. They can also live a wealthier lifestyle if they so choose.

> You cannot tax an asset that does not move.

Property tax taxes an asset that doesn't move, literally and figuratively. Before financial markets exploded, and especially in agrarian societies like the United States at its founding, a property tax was effectively a wealth tax. (It still is a wealth tax, technically speaking, it just no longer reaches the wealth of the richest in society.)

> In what intervals would you do this?

In whatever interval you'd like. Presumably yearly. But don't companies have to "mark-to-market" for their quarterly reports?

This is already the case with inflation, very deliberately so.

I can't say I'm a fan of a wealth tax. And in any event I don't think it'll ever happen in the U.S. But the reasons for disliking a wealth tax are more complicated than the above.

George Orwell, 1984

Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.
Growing up, the older generation just didn't "get" new technology, often embarrassing themselves by not knowing how to use a computer.

> std::vector is super fast for basically everything except for dynamic resizing.

Resizing it is just fine, there's not really anything unexpectedly slow there. Rather, the big downside to std::vector is the lack of small size optimization (something std::string has, so too does std::function for that matter).

That's the big win for things like absl's inlined_vector https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/master/absl/contai...

It's an ABI break to add small-size optimizations to std::vector at this point so unfortunately while there's not really anything in the API requirements that would prevent it, compatibility concerns pose a formidable barrier
