The cruise control on my Subaru probably wouldn't hit a fire truck since it has pre-collision braking.. but in any case, it's not sold as "Autopilot" or "Full Self Driving" so the limitations are pretty clear. There's a reason several countries stopped Tesla from marketing their nonsense like they do in the US - it turns out when you say things are self driving, consumers believe you and don't read the fine print.

There are, nonetheless, lots of situations where I would have reached for pg automatically a few years ago where I now stop and think about which of the two is going to fit my use case better.

The comment you're replying to is saying rather more than that, and I don't endorse it, but the shift in the possibility space is still both fascinating and impressive.

(also I love sqlite's tendency to use pg as a syntax template, it seems like an example of two projects with significantly different goals playing to each others' strengths in a beautifully positive sum game fashion)
San Francisco is very much not a progressive utopia, they just have bad government. I live in Scandinavia and outdoor dining does just fine here. Not in the winters of course, but in the summer you see it everywhere. Companies just apply for a permit, the government reviews it and quickly comes back with an answer, our cities typically have an SLO of 4-10 weeks after applying to get an answer and that includes dealing with people complaining. San Francisco not being able to do that is just evidence that San Francisco has inefficient government, but that has nothing to do with them trying to be progressive.
I think the divide looks more bridgeable on a personal level - on a recent trip to a rural area of Oregon I got to speak with an anti-vax, huge pickup driving, hunting, Christian man. He seemed like a genuine, kind, thoughtful person, and I sincerely enjoyed talking with him. He acted respectful towards my pro-vax, Prius-driving, suburb-dwelling attitudes. Seemed like there was mutual respect there, and I don't think it's too unusual for people to appreciate learning about each other and to respect differences.

Guess I'm just hoping that controversy appears bigger than it is, and most people still do know how to get along and respect each other.
“Dilapidated building” is a loaded description. The house is the oldest in the neighborhood, from 1889, and the neighbors claim it is of both architectural and local-historical significance. (I don’t have enough local knowledge to weigh in.) Here is the neighbors’ landmark application: https://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Planning_and_D...

Insisting that they are just saying that as an excuse because they don’t like town houses seems uncharitable at best. Considering the sources pushing this story I’d call it more like a bad-faith political hit job vs. Prof. Reich. E.g. your link is from a far-right “think tank” in North Carolina full of climate denialists, funded by Art Pope, GOP megadonor and close friend of the Koch brothers. Not exactly the people I would trust to fairly evaluate Berkeley’s decisions on which buildings should be landmarks.

In any case, the city council decided that the house isn’t important enough to qualify as a landmark, and the project is going through; the building will be torn down.
I used to live in Florida and you couldn't pay me to move back. The weather is hot, sticky and humid, the politics are right wing, the religion is old timey and in your face and the (mostly) latent racism is unpleasant when you encounter it.

I moved to a larger city in the midwest and it's great. Yes, winter is a drag but that's about the only negative that bothers me. Tech salaries go a long way, public schools are high quality and plentiful, politics are generally more balanced (than Florida or Texas), religion isn't a constant presence, crime is low and people are mostly friendly.
How is outside dining in any of the east coast blue states? Do you even know?

I know someone that was suffering from alpha-gal for two years. Desperate for any hope, he found a doctor in North Carolina that developed a novel form of acupuncture involving the inner ear. So, he flew out for treatment. He had to leave these tiny pins in his ears for four weeks. It sounded like total garbage, but it surprisingly seems to have worked. I've seen this guy both before and after, and he's eating dairy and meat again. I can't imagine what biological mechanism was involved (maybe placebo?). But, then again the human body is incredibly complex.
Thanks for the personal take, a lot of people would couch that perspective in abstract terms or attack the piece.

I see cynicism as coming from alienation, lack of alignment, "alone in a crowd" type of thing.

With an attack that bad, everyone agrees to apply the patch and roll the network back to the block before the attack. The real hit is to the exchanges, but they’re aware of the risk and typically have procedures and enough buffer to deal with this.

The real value is in the code, the minds of the users, and the ledger itself.
I’m not sure how that relates to my comment.
Many people prefer a risk-filled free existence over a safe constrained one. It's not entirely clear that one is morally superior.

"Thus my advice: read a lot of books; imitate as much as you like; and write a lot."

Live life too. Experience how the others live. Always write from the heart.

In all honestly, I don't feel wealthy men can write well. Strike that last sentance. They can churn out sentences, but they are not interesting.

We suffer through their writing becacuse they are wealthy.

We feel they must have something inciteful to say because we equate wealth with talent.

I think every wealthy writer knows their best work was done when they were comming up, and almost always when they were poor, and struggling.

I can honestly say the only perk of being poor is you will be a good writer of you take the time to write something, or better than the wealthy man on his best day.

(I don't feel like a debate. It's just my opinion. And I'm sure you will find good writers that are financially well off, but they wern't always wealthy.)
You're absolutely right. And I did take some positive steps forward. It's just that for a brief moment after the trip, everything seemed manageable and any question seemed answerable. But then the feeling faded and my old being immediately clouded everything. To use your words, the old paths appeared.

The blog title is ""Open Source" is not broken" [edit I think the title changed since first reading];

> "however at the same time that implies that surely it's possible to somehow ingrain tipping or similar monetary actions into a culture to the point where it's not viewed as something outrageous by the denizens of said culture."

I don't find tipping outrageous, rather annoying in that it turns a simple transaction (food for money) into a one-way unclear social negotiation. There's no fixed amount of tip which means it varies in different places, which means it's possible to be rude without meaning to be rude - in a way that has a knock on effect on the waiter's lifestyle - and a decision weighing up how much is fair, without being so much it's uncomfortable to pay or so little it risks insult. (See also the Monty Python Life of Brian scene "won't haggle").

> "Are we incapable as humanity on a large scale to give money willingly to others, when we benefit from their work?"

Isn't that what "buying" is? A huge part of the world is devoted to this, paying money to others to benefit from their work. The question here is, if those others give their work for free, why then do they expect money and try to guilt people into giving them money, when there is a system whereby they could have asked for money in the first place?

> "Why not? If i wasn't ... X, Y, Z..."

Because if you aren't compelled to, you have plenty of other things to spend money on instead, apparently.

If nobody willingly wants to pay for a thing, then the author deserves to get paid for it? Why?
Ask HN: How do I write a detailed outline of my project for a developer?
I am preparing to hire a developer to take over an amateur coding project from me. I would like to make this my first full-time employee. I have laid out in bullet points the languages, libraries, services, frameworks, and implementations that I would like to have the developer develop. How do I present these in the most effective manner? Are there forms or templates I could work from?

It has to be sustainable enough to survive without relatively immediate access to Earth's resources. The moon is only a few days away in an emergency. Mars is months away. The ISS works because it gets fairly constant supplies from Earth. It is vastly from self-sustaining.
This sounds like a start of a dystopian novel, where animal brains are being shoved into various robots. And that a researcher who's trying to stop it, ultimately fails and he's also turned into a robot.

Tinder and many other similar dating apps eliminated this possibility. Pre-tinder most people had more of a chance simply by having more balls to approach. Now tinder makes it so all women can approach the GigaChad at the same time.
>I have NO IDEA how anyone managed the jump from this story about Toyota to a totally imaginary anti-Apple rant

Because Apple are the nickel-and-dime masters.

From removing headphone sockets in order to sell stupidly expensive wireless headphones, to stupidly overpriced soldered memory and storage upgrades, to the 30% appstore fee scam, to disallowing local backups to promote their iCloud storage racket, to unrepairable devices where you can't even replace a battery, to keyboards that need motherboard replacement to replace a key, to disallowing WebGPU so victims can't play online games instead of the games they take their 30% cut from, to proprietary connectors that they abandon a year later, to iPhone displays that can't even be replaced with another legitimate iPhone display, they do everything in their power to lock-in and bleed their victims dry.

Literally everything they do is a scam to nickel-and-dime their victims.

Every item they sell has all these arbitrary limitations just so they can take a cut.

They are usually the first to do every terrible consumer-hostile action because their victims are locked-in suckers with Stockholm syndrome whose devices don't work with any other companies devices or accessories.

And then other companies see their success and copy them.

So naturally any conversation about companies being assholes will skew towards discussing Apple, because they are the biggest and most successful assholes.
All the best outcomes exist in the additive economic space. We have reflected this in the mathematical evidence for cooperation.

Yeah thanks for that insult out of nowhere.
> Does the public give away free real estate to the restaurant, to be used to generate revenue by the square foot?

I mean, basically yes. We just call them parking spaces. We decided most of the street should be a carve-out to vehicles and the people who can afford to drive and park them. Whenever a Rapid Transit bus lane is being proposed, shopkeepers oppose it because it "removes parking spaces", aka "the free real estate that the shop uses to generate revenue".

So that public subsidy exists, we're just debating whether we want to allocate it towards drivers or pedestrians.

Ok ok but what about parking meter revenue...

> If the restaurant wants outdoor dining, they can build it on their own property.

This I this we're on the same page, we're just haggling over price. Lets say a parking meter charges $2/hour (peak event meters in SF can go as high as $4, others can be less than $1, tweak your own napkin math). Let's assume full occupancy (x 8hr) for the full year (x 356) and we get $6,000 with these optimistic utilization-equivalency numbers. I'm not an expert on commercial real estate, but $6,000/yr or $500/mo doesn't feel unreasonable as an upper bound for an annual lease on a parking spot.

The road upkeep and maintenance almost certainly costs more, but we already agree this is a public subsidy, we're just trying to figure out who gets it.
It doesn't work because = is looking strictly for a substring, it doesn't do globbing. Something like [href="pinterest."] probably gets closer to what you're expecting.
Honestly, the only reason I knew about mine was the salesperson at the dealership pointed them out to me. Maybe I had an exceptional sales rep?

I've seen cars flip and roll over and continue driving in a movie, yet I wouldn't expect my car to do that. I've seen modern cars get hot wired in a movie, yet I wouldn't be able to do to a modern car. I'm just saying you're putting way too much faith in movies my friend ;-)

> I had about 16 years of walking and 14 years of cycling around gradually increasingly complex environments before I drove a car.

A lot of that has to do with humans not being born with fully developed brains. Animals can walk and navigate environments as soon as they are born, so there is no reason to believe that humans actually learns these things rather than those systems slowly maturing as we grow up.

The other part is that our pre-trained movement system is made for human bodies, not cars. So learning to drive a car is learning to use another mode of moving yourself. Also you have to learn traffic rules. But the other things like understanding environments etc you get for free for being a human, every single large animal can do the same. They wont learn the traffic laws or how to drive the car, but they know how to navigate environments without hitting things.

There’s also a meme of envelopes getting raided for the cash within them (“don’t send money through the mail”).

I’ve never actually heard of anyone getting burned by this in modern times though. For sufficiently valuable gift cards (e.g. Amazon), the same hazard exists.
This might be the most hated idea on Nextdoor. You could probably convince those city council meeting enthusiasts to double property taxes before they'll agree to road closures in favor of pedestrians and cyclists
It's a tough thing to represent correctly. Are these people actually "progressive" or merely wrapping themselves with the image?

Though I critique SF all the time for not actually being progressive, or left for that matter, at least where it counts for local politics and material effects that could be achieved by their politics before The Revolution, I sometimes think the author has it right. It's better to say that everybody that adopts a label gets to define it. Unless there's a really strong faction with the label that reject the politics of the others, we are left with SF "progressives" being "progressive," even if outsides find them hypocritical and counterproductive to the movement.
I thought in the movie it was cast as her choosing to accept it and cherishing the time they'd have left together? Maybe I missed the predestination theme (or maybe it was just implied... although you could say it's implied for any story involving travel or communication between different times.)
Every time I accidentally click a Quora search result it makes me so unhappy. I must have missed the memo about Pinterest though. I always liked that site but haven't been on there in a while. I'm reading up on what's wrong and it sounds like a few years ago it started drowning in ads. Then this year they pushed an update that caused half their users to stop using the platform. Is that accurate?
Move fast and break bones
I'm less interested in removing results, than I am in getting the ones that I actually want to be in there. Unfortunately the former is a much easier problem than the latter. Recently, it seems the "scroll through irrelevant results and keep paging to get to the good sites" strategy I've been using for literally over two decades has yielded far less success.
I beg to differ on the happiness part. There's a bit of a high when they win... and it's fleeting... but in general the money trophy does not lead to happiness IMO.

I mean something like starting a colony on mars with the sensible exception that it would be on earth. Even Antarctica would be a viable candidate location but I imagine there must be some sweet spot with decent cable, water, electricity, healthcare, food, climate, transportation and land prices or at least have some of those with an option to build the rest. Someone is going to have to organize it?

Read the ACPI spec. Seriously. It's a commonly given answer especially in the Hackintosh scene, but I don't think there's a quicker or easier way than to actually understand what everything is about.

On the other hand, it's funny to think that Hackintosh probably was responsible for motivating a lot of people to learn about ACPI and other complex low-level hardware details.
Exactly. I do coding for hobby, just html, css, js; & in past php too. If I quickly need to find some function to do xyz or a tag or property, or to find the capabilities of some function, its params, w3schools is easy to comprehend than mdn (which very rarely I have been to).
>Hot baths without running water were available to ordinary people.

You're right, it does depend on the definition of lifestyle. Some people consider travel to be central to a fancy lifestyle, and that would be hard in the past.

>no labor obligations

Most people on HN likely have no physical labor obligations from employment. We have cushy programming jobs, and many can afford to eat out/order delivery every day and hire a cleaning and laundry service. I can get anywhere nearby in a fast and comfy car, not having to deal with a slow, bumpy, drafty, horse-smelling carriage. I don't even have to walk up stairs, I can take an elevator.

The king has the responsibility of running a kingdom. That sounds pretty stressful to me, much more so that my programming job.

wow
That's a prisoner's dilemma situation. As a group, smaller islanders are less likely to run out of food (the cooperation strategy). But as an individual, a bigger islander can beat up the smaller ones and take their food (the defection strategy).

Of course if everyone defects, the group as a whole is worse off.
