You seem to be focussing very much on the problems with other people, and with society. It is true that society has major problems and that, in your life, you will regularly encounter predators of all stripes. And that those predators apparently enjoy comfort, success and even admiration that others find difficult to access.

But on the other hand, I would feel pretty sad if it is the case that you (or anyone) are so consumed by this that you cannot find joy or purpose in your own life.

Sometimes it is the more profitable strategy to realise and accept that it is very difficult or impossible for one person to fix the major and obvious failings with reality. But it is actually quite achievable, through introspection and rational thinking, to identify and modify our own reactions to those things when our reactions are negatively impacting our ability to experience a quota of joy and happiness that is sufficient to keep negative ruminations about the world to a manageable level.

At the end of the day, we are just animals. And for whatever reason, nature has seen to it that we are quite capable of experiencing a reasonable amount of joy and happiness just by going through the activities required of us to sustain our lives. Breathing, drinking, eating, moving around, fighting, cooperating, resting, attempting to reproduce, and so on.

If it were not so, then what would be the likelihood of our continuing to be here? Given that we must go through many years of this stuff, without giving up, in order to pass on our genetic material before we either kill ourselves or die.

Have a nice day, friend.

Ask HN: Monorepo vs. Multi-Repo
I’m working at a medium size organization inside a large company with about 30 developers in it and we’re considering moving to a microfrontend implementation. We are debating between a using a monorepo or multi-repo strategy and I wanted some advice (and maybe some anecdotes) on people that have gone through this. Thanks!
Birds can fly through thick forests without colliding with trees, and flying also is very clunky and you can't change your direction quickly etc. If they collide they die, so the selective pressure is really strong for them to not hit anything. Cheetahs can also run at highway speeds on uneven ground and still do just fine.
Yep, network effects are hard to beat. Unless a Mastodon-esque platform is not largely a copy for existing services but rather offers something substantially different and superior (ie, how Facebook overtook MySpace, or how TikTok grew exponentially), there is very little chance of these sorts of federated platforms becoming mainstream.

Heck, I like Mastodon a lot too, but having tried I could not switch simply because the people I follow (the AI research community) is largely not present there.

Gifting is much more than just a monetary value transfer from one person to another (unless you're a soulless tax lawyer) and so many people here are forgetting that.

I see gift cards to be somewhere between a thoughtful physical gift and a bank transfer.

The neighbors will say whatever they can to stop the building without regard for truth or basic decorum. Their class interests are extremely conflicted, and such duplicitous bad-faith use of law is endemic in wealthy white neighborhoods like this.

It's a common mistake to think of public transport as something imposed on unchanging cities, but it actually drives considerable change as well. Whatever the flaws of Honolulu's LRT may be, it will drive increased density in the corridor it serves, and that's exactly how it's supposed to work.

This does, however, assume that zoning near stations is also adjusted to allow this, which is something that many US cities including the Bay Area are notoriously bad at.

I used to occasionally daydream about moving someplace rural or semi-rural where land and housing are cheap.

When I got my first vaccine dose, it was difficult to impossible to get an appointment in the Chicago area. I managed to find one in Urbana. I drove down on a Sunday to get my shot. Along the way, I stopped at a McDonald's to use the bathroom. Coming out, I had someone berate me for wearing a mask and declare mask wearing to be selfishness (I would later discover from reading a blog post that he was mirroring language he'd heard on Fox News).

I do not wish to live somewhere that my neighbors would be brainwashed by Fox News and engage in behaviors/have attitudes that would kill me. It may cost more to live in an urban liberal environment, but it's worth every penny.

I had an Oreck years ago, I thought it was a good brand, it looked solid, ads made a big deal of it being lightweight and used by hotels...but it didn't suck.

And I thought that's just the way things are.

But I got a Hoover upright, which was much cheaper, looks cheaper, like a toy, mostly garish purple plastic, and is also much heavier. But it sucks up an order of magnitude more dirt. It's bagless, which some people don't like, but it makes it very visible how much crud it's removing and allows it to be dumped after every use.

So I feel like the Oreck was perhaps a swindle, having the looks and characteristics that older people associate with appliances from long ago, except the actual performance.

And I'm glad I didn't spend a lot on a Dyson just to get a vacuum with no bag.

I've never gone there, but I think there's a storefront near me that says they repair vacuum cleaners. Don't recall what kind.

When I did so yesterday, I found it hard to tell the difference between promoted questions/answers and answers to the actual question I was looking at.

The issue is using HN primarily for ideological or political battle. That is obviously not compatible with the site's mandate, which is intellectual curiosity. We've noticed that accounts fall into a bimodal distribution between ones that are doing this and ones that aren't—with surprisingly few borderline cases–so we actually use this as a test for which accounts to ban.

It's not cherry-picked. The standard has been well worked out over time, is stable, and doesn't have to do with the specific ideology or politics someone is battling for.

You say that but a realistic and true view of the world will show that things have indeed changed for the better for a lot of marginalized people -- and within our lifetimes, too. It's definitely not "always the same", to paraphrase the author. If you think it is, you may be the kind of person the author is referring to.

I agree with you completely. I think that I am also a cynic based on this article but certainly an optimistic cynic. I believe fully that things can but we will have to work together(which is admittedly a very difficult thing to do) and also be very smart about the changes we make. I would argue that choosing to ignore the reality of things and to not be cynical would ultimately make change harder to achieve. Working smarter not harder, after all.

I do not live in Hawaii, but from what I can tell (from visiting one time and looking at what maps/analyses I can find in 10 minutes of web search) most of the traffic sources and destinations in Oahu are within a couple miles of a single 20-mile-long stretch of freeway (H1 / H201). We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of people trying to drive every morning/evening along the same stretch of freeway in individual private vehicles (3–4 lanes wide in each direction), instead of riding some more space-efficient mode of transportation along the same route.

> _My_ world view deems no person "excess".

So we don't have "too many" people? The world is not OVERpopulated? Because excess means "too many" or "more than needed," so if you're saying there's no excess, then you're saying there's not too many people.

I definitely agree with you, by the way: the world does not have an excess of humans!
It's entirely up to cities and states to set their alcohol laws, and that's kind of the beauty of America. In Las Vegas, open containers and such are totally legal--you can walk around the strip from casino to casino sipping drinks. But in another town like Salt Lake City the alcohol laws are much more strict because the population there decided they wanted to take a harsher stance on it. People have the freedom to decide through America's democratic structure what laws are in an area.
I suppose you were there with Frankl and can tell us all about it and how you managed to survive. Did you ask to have your ladle of soup scooped "from the bottom" or did you have a superior strategy for survival?

Your comment is a vacuous, bald assertion that Frankl is "nonesense" and his ideas were a "schtick". Next time you comment, consider shedding light on the matter rather than merely smearing and adumbrating.
But did humans coexist with megafauna in America / Asia / Australia / Aotearaoa for thousands of years before they all died out?

As I'm a New Zealander, I'm far more familiar with mass extinctions in NZ, and let me just say, to paraphrase a Smash Mouth song, well, after the arrival of humans, the extinctions start coming and they don't stop coming.

For a few reasons.

1) Introduction of the kiore (Polynesian rat) - while now, somewhat ironically, nearly extinct in NZ due to competition by Norwegian and black rats, its predation of chicks and eggs was instrumental in pushing some endemic species to extinction.

2) Unsustainable hunting, and collection of eggs. The most prominent example is the thousands of moa and their eggs found in the middens of what was probably the first archaic Māori (aka "moa hunter") settlement on Te Waipounamu/South Island. Given that moa, like other large birds, were slow breeders, it was inevitable that moa populations would collapse shortly after human arrival given the level of exploitation seen in the middens.[1]

3) Fire. Archaic Māori used fire to drive forest dwelling moa for hunting, which destroyed large areas of old forest that were stable, but unable to re-establish under changed climatic conditions. For an example, the Mackenzie Basin[2], and the Torlesse Range[3], both now known for their extensive tussocklands, were previously covered in dense forest, which no longer existed by the time of European colonisation. With a loss of habitat comes increased risk of extinction.

4) Desperation - as moa became scarcer, the archaic Māori switched to alternative food species, and extinctions rapidly followed (e.g., the flightless South Island goose[4]). This is also the period where (most archaeologists agree) the ancestors of the Moriori[5] departed from the South Island and settled the Chatham Islands/Rēkohu, as archaic Māori society entered collapse.

I highly recommend this book[6] for insights into at least one confirmed example of the black hole theory. You can also explore the art of that book in the national museum's collections[7]. The fact that there's six pages of that art is rather depressing.

> You say "a free market does [calculation] fine," but it has obvious deficiencies that I have already remarked upon.

And as I have already remarked, central planning does not fix those deficiencies, it makes them worse.

> the optimization problem can be solved on modern computers without the problems of the market.

I strongly disagree, for the reasons I've already stated, but it doesn't seem like we're going to resolve that here.

> Maybe free market capacity scales exponentially

Yes, because the computation consists of the individual actors deciding their actions and the communication of price signals between them. (Note that while I say "price signals", these are much more general than just money prices. Many positive sum trades are made that do not involve money.) That's a general feature of distributed computing: you have to count the communication between the nodes as part of the computation.

> Do you think that, during World War II, the U.S. should have structured its wartime economy around free market principles?

Yes.

> Did it make things worse by not doing so?

Yes.

> social security gets gutted because the U.S. government is not a government of the people.

Ah, the No True Scotsman argument. Every time socialism fails, socialist ideologues say it's because it wasn't true socialism.

> The governance model described in the book I linked is based on sortition rather than election.

I'll take a look. However, I am extremely skeptical that any governance model can fix the fundamental problems with centralized control.

> It seems you agree that China investing in solar power is beneficial to it

I said that China's government believes it will be beneficial to China. They could be wrong. But even if they're not, that is not at all the same as saying that it is the most beneficial thing that could be done with the same resources. I am not saying that governments never do beneficial things. I am saying that governments, on net, will do worse than a free market would do. That is also not the same as saying a free market would always achieve an optimal result; in many situations there may simply be no way of achieving an optimal result. But that does not mean all achievable results are equivalent.
Covid is not over and probably won’t be over for the next decade.

We can’t just pretend it doesn’t exist, because it infects and kills people anyways. But we also can’t just cancel things because it‘s here for a while and vaccination is very effective at preventing severe cases.

For me, this means getting the vaccines and boosters and wearing masks in essential places e.g. stores and doctor’s offices. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask people to do these things even if it’s for the long-term.

I do think it’s unreasonable to ask people to avoid holiday celebrations and weddings and bars everywhere long-term. I especially think half-assed measures like wearing masks in restaurants “except when eating” and putting carefully-planned events online last-minute is unreasonable.
Depends what you're looking for, CA is a ginormous state with basically anything you fancy on the menu. Rural, urban, mountainous, coastal, desert, agricultural, it's all over the place.

As someone who works on a lot of standards, I can say there are two common misconceptions

1. Typically, standards and certification are entirely different.
2. Standards may not follow semantic versioning - e.g. a major version may not indicate a loss of either backward or forward compatibility.

The protocols defined in USB 1 are still allowed in USB4, as are the cables and connectors. HDMI is the same way. Saying something is USB4 or HDMI 2.2 compliant is not a stronger statement than saying they are USB 1.0 or HDMI 1.0 compliant.

Likewise, statements like "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" are garbage. The correct terminology is "SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps". Why do so many products use the incorrect, more confusing terminology while omitting the official marketing name? Often because they are not certified products.
