I was taking stock of all the streaming services I have recently (too many now) and realized Netflix is one I can easily do without. I'm not super into their originals and many movies I do want to watch aren't on the service anyway.
>Affordable and unaffordable is a subjective measure.

No it isn't. Affordable and unaffordable can be defined objectively for a specific population (e.g. "Americans") by observing that population's behavior. If people avoid living somewhere due to the cost of living, it's unaffordable. There's nothing terribly ambiguous about that. The consequences can also be expressed with numbers, e.g.:

This scenario is very reminiscent of the leadup to the Innovator's Dilemma. The dinosaurs grow taller and fatter seeking and thriving on the juicy foliage higher up the tree, while the scrappy little mammals claw away at its soft underbelly.

Nobody's going to fabricate semiconductors in their garage. But couldn't someone make a modest profit without first investing $2.0e10, like Intel? Or is it just that the profitability scale is such that if you had an extra $2.0e7 to invest, you're better off buying Intel stock?
What's kinda neat about musl libc is that the interpreter/runtime linker and libc.so are the same executable, so that if you just dynamically link to libc, it does not need to open ld.so cache or locate and load libc.so.
You just have to look at the wikipedia page for the green revolution to see how it's unsustainable: it relies on fertilisers derived from fossil and mineral resources that are now limited and cannot be replenished. Alternative methods like permaculture are trying to avoid reliance on such non-renewable inputs.

The wealth of society that allows us to have food so cheap right now is all thanks to a whole lot of 20th century infrastructure that was developed using fossil fuels and other mineral resources which can't last forever and are furthermore destroying our life support ecosystems. I believe that, aside from the potential for automation that you mention, we are likely going to end up shifting to a standard of living where our food just costs a lot more. This will happen either because we shift to more sustainable methods that are less efficient, or because we don't and society collapses.
No, not in the first, 1999, original release. That color shift is retrofit.

How many times have we seen a deck collapse on Reddit? Those are shockingly easy to get wrong. And even if you make it structurally sound, it may be attached to the house in such a way that the wall begins to rot. Water, screw, and wood physics dictate a lot of what's legal in a deck.

Elsewhere in this thread someone mentioned that nails and screws are not interchangeable, but there are situations like decks where nails also aren't sufficient. You need carriage bolts.
I wonder how many of us have vendors that depend on support people in the Ukraine. I suppose that is an unexpected and unwelcome risk.

Division isn't stable but it often precedes change. The status quo hasn't served everyone, and the first part of improving a status quo is to make the case it cannot stand. When one does, division occurs.
The pamphleteers would like a word with you - starting about a hundred years after the invention of the printing press and continuing to hold sway until the widespread acceptance of the Internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamphlet_wars (of which https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine#Common_Sense_(177... is one of the most striking older examples).
AaronOS dev here. I love the work he did on this, and that mine is considered a source of inspiration.

One thing is certain when comparing the two - I have a LOT to learn from this project. The inspiration goes both ways.
I don't know firsthand whether this is true, but this is an old family story about my Grandfather.

He was a logger in the Pacific Northwest. At one point he was hauling logs up the Oregon Coast, and his truck broke down in the middle of nowhere, stranding him. (Probably an old Gary truck, which was practically made from cast iron.) I don't remember the exact part, but it was something to do with a wheel... the rim, or part of the axle or mounting.

He happened to have some ingots in his truck (a soft metal, I forget the term).
So he built up a large fire, melted the ingots, and sand-cast a replacement part using the broken piece as a template. Once it cooled and was cleaned up, it worked well enough to get him to civilization, or whatever passed for civilization in Oregon in the 30s.

Seeing all the logging hacks I've seen when growing up, I completely believe this story.
The right and the religious are also known to splinter over small differences. I see it as a trait of fanaticism, and an indication of tendency towards extremism.
"the treasury of the colonies held in British banks went on to pay the pensions of the colonisers."

A lot of things went in in the past. Didn't humans evolve in Afrika? So I guess the ancestors of todays Africans somehow drove my ancestors away, presumably by stealing their land. Am I owed reparations by Africa now?

"What I meant is that Europeans whose national boundaries are marked by language, religious denomination, and have (very recent) history of wiping out both wildlife and civilisations should stop being preachy."

They are preachy about not killing off your wildlife, so if you say they shouldn't preach about that, it follows logically that you think killing off the wildlife should be OK.

And sorry, but everybody is free to preach about whatever they want. You are free not to listen.
Ah, never thought I'd see this on the fp of Hacker News. Spent too much of my youth on WinBoards, Old OS Forums, ABWnet and MacDomain.

It is good to see WinWorld still alive and kicking, it makes me miss those old phpBB boards (even with the endless drama, abuse and flaming). I wonder how many of the old admins/moderators are still around?
Cat’s already out of the bag. Collectively demanding to work in an office is, well, kind of silly. Maybe we should collectively demand something else.

Maybe we software engineers should get wise to the fact that, in theory, we’re as easily replaceable as a driver working for Uber. Sure, in practice, it may not be so easy to replace a Bay Area engineer with an engineer from a substantially less expensive country, but it’s doable, and perhaps that should give us reason to pause. We shouldn’t so easily enable bad actors because our compensation makes us believe that we’re fundamentally different from a factory worker. We’re not.

We should wholly expect to one day have to live in the world we created. We should expect to reap what we sow.
Right. To be frank, it really seems you are suggesting people who disagree with you should be marginalized to a few corners of the internet suffering from "the coven of the witches" problem.

And for the record, Ruqqus was shut down [1], so it really doesn't even exist.

Biological resistance is inevitable if there is a mild single mode of action. It doesn't matter if you are organic, permaculture or conventional. If you use a single mode of action that lets some survive, it will be resisted eventually.

Did you know insects can develop resistance to crop rotations and spring burns? Resistance isn't limited to chemicals.

How do you fix this? Multiple, overlapping modes of action. If we can effectively control HIV and it's extremely high mutation rate, we handle a few weeds.
https://www.fairforall.org has a quality community. That said I think this a relevant topic for hn on many levels and I don't find the conversations repetitive. If OP doesn't think so maybe they're not the target demographic for hn.

Why not band together and force better conditions by the corporations? This is what unions are for, a place for labor to bargain fairly compared to capital.

This will also have the nice benefit of raising the tide to lift all boats, rather than trying to diverge and course correct by oneself (raising cattle isn't comparable in skills or costs to running a meat packing facility).
The problem is that because, by their nature they are small, it doesn't take that many people fleeing blue-state large cities to also overheat a small city housing market.

This is currently a massive problem in the Intermountain West in places like Boise.

Which is probably at least part of the reason that libc itself ends up being slower than a specific, targeted solution.

I think we just don't have a settled definition of efficiency. I've seen farmers claim that using the right rotations, edible cover crops, and grazing cattle and free-range chickens leads to more calories per acre, more diverse crops and all without fertilizers or pesticides. But no claims about farmer and machinery time per acre. Factory farming is probably fewer farmers and fewer tractors per calorie.
So few have enjoyed the quad job, but so many will suffer at the 2022 enterprise grade introduction of presence-guarantee software.

The strongest signal that Facebook will fall is the recently publicized trouble they're having in hiring people. I expect that to have rather strong knock-on effects... 10-15 years down the road. For example if VR turns out to be as big as everyone says and FB/Meta/whatever are only able to put up a weak offering. I tend to agree that they'll be harder to kill than a lot of us wish.
>Amazon... seem to be happy where they are and don't seem to be innovating much

If you're just looking at the consumer end of it, maybe. but over the last couple years amazon has become one of if not the largest logistics company in the world, and across the full line from supplier to last-mile delivery. it's not sexy innovation like a new iPhone is, but they've been developing a huge moat and as long as customers want quick delivery of their online purchases, amazon is a long ways in front of any competitor.

All the complaints about review fraud or inventory commingling are small-potatoes compared to the ability to do next-day delivery of millions of different SKUs to a large portion of the planet.

Here's the story: Code an App that you tried to make mainstream, and you shut it down.
Take snapshots of it, and fill the gap with that portfolio.

Snapshots of past projects are gold. In interviews, i mention the period and also offer to send them pics of the App: an image will fill for 1000 words.
The next generation of farming progress will be maturing the science of interactions between fungal species and multiple plants in a soil ecosystem and commoditizing them into concrete things which can be measured and manipulated on an industrial scale.

Think “planting” fungus and fertilizing it to optimize specific species interactions and possibly multiple cropping to take advantage of plant-fungi-plant interactions.
Yeah, Boeing is a solid example of that whole large budget == safe mentality.... Maybe in 2022 exclusively.
Spokane used to be like that, it still is to some extent. My grandfather used to own/run what would be called a flop house (we called it "the empty arms"). Definitely this makes some neighborhoods very sketchy, but not that many homeless around (the ones that can't get housing get on the bus to Seattle or Portland since you can't really live outside in Spokane in the winter).

But even Spokane has been changing...the flop houses of old are mostly being redeveloped, housing is becoming not so cheap anymore.
In all the videos, in the computer version whites are down and black up, but in the real life board they are on the sides. Is it possible to play with looking from the other direction?
> As long as the driver can override the steering (which they can)

EPS is much more powerful than humans. It can apply huge torque and cause incredibly fast acceleration of the steering wheel (from full lock on one side to the other in a split second). Messing with the firmware definitely could cause a situation where the car just does whatever it wants to and the driver can do nothing about it.
That's my experience of going from a German car to a Honda. I can take the Honda apart with a screw driver and a 6-19 wrench set and very little else. I required one hex wrench when taking off the whole front of the car.

German cars tend to have a bunch of hex and star wrench requirements, in addition to specialized tools for certain parts.

On the other hand, older cars did mostly have way more space in the engine bay.
Developer of Lunar here (https://lunar.fyi)

Over the past few years, I've collected a lot of monitor data through Lunar error reports.

I decided to publish it in a semi-raw form in case someone might find it useful for finding monitors with specific attributes (e.g. 250+ DPI, 120Hz refresh rate, 6k resolution etc.)

Unfortunately, there are a lot of duplicates, and some monitors don't also have the model in their name (e.g. LG Ultra HD can refer to dozens of different LG models).

I'm hoping that someone motivated enough can at least narrow down their search using the week and year of manufacture attributes.

>This is the equivalent of someone buying the top reviewed amazon promoted laptop, sorted by cheapest, with some kinda piece of shit 1152×648 screen, 4gb ddr2 ram, 2.xGhz celeron processor, and telling people it's a gaming pc because it says gaming on the box. Then commenting how you find it odd nobody in the gaming space is talking about it :)

It seems far more like its someone buying that cheap laptop, primarily using it to surf the web and play solitaire (or FPSes from 2001) and talk about how great it is. And it is great for what they're doing. Who needs 8 cores and 32 gigs of RAM? The answer is some subset of people between "everyone" and "no one".
I genuinely don't know what point you're trying to make, but the "line" is clearly somewhere between the functionaly illiterate wife of of a dictator pretending to be a scientist for propaganda purposes and Albert Einstein.
I habitually listen to NPR (KQED in the bay area). I find that the PBS newshour is of high quality and I also like "Fresh Air".

On the Internet side:

I enthusiastically recommend the daily "Monocle 24" news podcast. It is very well done and regardless of what you think of Monocle magazine I would suggest that if you consumed just one world news show it should be this one.
Very true. The best I could come up with was humidity control, but ingress/egress issues make fire marshals demonstrably cranky.
I once went into the woods with a logging crew. The amount of unsafe stuff I saw was mind boggling. Then, my turn came. A skidder had gotten a tree stuck. Instead of backup they just floored it, and predictably a tree trunk came shooting out of the bush. If not for some pretty good reflexes (better than I thought I had) I'd surely be dead, I dropped to the floor and the tree flew over me still attached to the steel cable that had tensioned. Very, very scary. After that I did all the work myself. Slowly, deliberately and without taking chances, not a single issue in more than a years' worth of cleanup.

They say that logging is one of the most dangerous jobs. I am not surprised but I think a good factor in that equation is the loggers themselves. (And some of the trees, which can be downright treacherous.)

In comparison what I've seen on film sets has always been pretty mild.

Regarding putting together exhibitions, this is an author specific type of performance art. Kind of like a Shakespeare theater company.

There’s room to reinterpret the artist, but frankly interpreting this author as socially conscious has been done so many times it’s boring.

It would be like putting on a feminist production of Antigone, or a pacifist recitation of the Iliad, or an anti-racist production of Othello - not only “already done” but probably what the author intended.

The folks running the show have been avoiding actual “woke” (so hate the phrase) art for exactly this reason - already done 1000 time - and the new era demands new efforts!

Instead it’s hiring and outreach that’s gone bonkers.

Regarding communication- it isn’t that people have stopped talking. They’ve stopped listening.

Realistically, the donors are in charge. They’re the only ones listened to.

And currently the powers that be are trying very hard to find new “anti-racist” donors, preferably BIPOC donors.

I’m not sure what anyone can do about that. Other than stop donating.

What do you mean when you talk about doing an exchange with other galleries?
My parents experimented extensively with my childhood diet's impact on my ADHD, and found that Red 40 made me bounce off the walls. The effect was dramatic, even compared with eating sugary non-Red-40 foods.
I personally think it is wishful thinking. At this facebook is rich enough that even if facebook.com completely imploded they could pivot to another social media platform they own such as instagram, and it is hard to imagine facebook.com imploding completely as it is used across the globe and I can see that even if facebook fell in the english speaking world other regions would still use it.
"But I think the meaning of the change is important" this is exactly right, is it a whitespace? is it the text? what is "change" ?
I blame the federal government that ties funding to "diversity and inclusion" to the detriment of everything else. It cause ridiculous situations like the one described in that article https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/minority-professor-den...

So if the funding for the CBC is allocated on similars concerns, her colleagues are probably scared. That would also explain why they produced this mostly absurd list of banned words https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/words-and-phrases-comm... , a list that include violent words like brainstorm, lame, grandfathered and tribe. The CBC used to be a bastion of integrity and reason, now it is a novlang factory.
Presumably the noise. It's a pretty common source of friction between neighbors.
It's rare, but I have lost history once or twice, possibly after a computer restart. It's great when it works (which is almost always) but not foolproof.
> This is what unions are for

They're independent companies. They aren't employed by anyone. They aren't labour they're owners. That's not what a union is for.
