Certainly in Asia people may be more polite about it… or you just might not understand when they use derogatory terms in their own language.

I’m white and I still hear people occasionally insulting me in their own language, thinking I don’t understand the words they use. It upsets me and it upsets my local girlfriend too. People are a*es and racist everywhere.

That said my experience with people in Asia has been overwhelmingly positive and that’s why I live here, even with the occasional rude comment and person taking a video of me while saying “botak”
I genuinely believe that these people see "the Jews" and "Jewish people" as two entirely separate concepts in their head. One is the group of people they may know, hang out with, be friends with, and one is the concept of evil brought up by conspiracy nuts that get associated with murdering babies and widespread paedophilia.

I've read an article, linked here during the Trump administration, about people of Mexican origin being deported from American towns. The townsfolk were upset that their friend or neighbour was being deported, but they still believed in Trump's promises. They didn't want this to happen, they only wanted "the bad ones" to get out, whatever abstract concept of "the bad ones" meant to them. The people they knew were always "one of the good ones".

Obviously, no group of people is uniform, but the human brain loves to think in groups. The groups can overlap and they don't need to make sense; they exist purely to attach some kind of judgement or prejudice onto. Probably a great feature of the human brain if you're a primate trying to make it to adulthood, but, in modern times, humanity's worst flaw.
There doesn't appear to be any general law specifically restricting public urination in the UK.

No.

x86 has its roots in the PC, which was an open and relatively standardised platform.

ARM's rise to popularity came later, and there are literally thousands if not tens of thousands of different SoCs with an ARM core, which have nothing in common but the core. All the locked-down mobile devices are in this category, and their SoC manufacturers have been extremely reluctant to release much in the way of documentation.
It's otherwise unused in the context of a daemon. SIGHUP is similarly popular and historically designed for use with a TTY.
There is a difference between the hedonistic treadmill and having wealth. I knew people who made hundreds of thousands a year, and just banked it so they never have to work after they turn 29.

Meanwhile, there's something condescending about talking to someone who is looking at being unable to accumulate enough wealth to do the things they want about how those things are meaningless.
> Rough metric is you get 1 hour of engine idle per gallon.

From personal experience that seems extremely conservative, although that may be the point. According to [1], a semi truck or city bus use a little less than a gallon per hour idling.

Do you have any suggestions for how I could rebut this kind of chauvinistic propaganda without attracting comments like chx's?

Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that throwawaylinux or chx is a paid government agent; I'm well aware that people frequently repeat chauvinistic propaganda like that simply because they believe them, because unthinking stereotypes come naturally to the humans. But I'd like to make that situation better rather than worse.
Thank you for this humane point of view instead of just making fun or getting enraged.

The value of the long rich history is just in how much people respect it. There are 20 year old brands more prestigious than hundred year old brands... no reason a one-year-old brand can't be worth more still. And I don't see why making a swan costume for Bjork or a meat dress for Lady Gaga means your T-shirt is worth more.

I see a strong counter-argument in their advanced knowledge (and industrial-scale use) of hydro power. Are you familiar with the Barbegal mills?

What I think could have been a considerable factor that is rarely discussed is how "cosmopolitan" power structures appear in the late empire: someone makes an exceptional military career, gathers loyalty in the legions currently stationed in whatever corner of the empire he happens to serve, a few years later he's one of the contenders for emperor in the next civil war. But the economic development of the regions the "players" are associated with (if they even are associated with some specific region) doesn't seem to be a factor at all in that game.

A few centuries later feudalism and successors had military power (and with it political power) tied much closer to actual land and its economic power. This certainly did not directly lead to politics trying to foster industrial progress, but I can easily imagine how one form of stability (some hierarchy of lords stable for generations) could set up the prerequisites in a way the other form of stability (one seemingly eternal super-state but in an endless state of internal strife as the only form of meaningful achievement) would not.

The performance metric always includes number of open days. That’s why they add days if you get too many snow days. Those extra days have no impact on education.

The goal is set with the legacy expectation that women will stay home and do childcare but that isn’t a reality for many folks. So schools have an equally important child care role.
For many folks the problem of unreliable child care can be worse than no child care. If i knew there wasn’t going to be school for 3 months I can plan for that business can open that provider the service. If schools randomly open and close for 3 months nobody knows what to do and few new business will risk start up costs too fill the gap.
You are describing exactly me before my depression treatment kicked in. I would also call that a "rumination" and there were times when I though being one of the few people who SEE what the world really is like was somehow good for me.
It wasn't. In my case it was depression/axiety/OCD. I still know that life is a paradox, but I don't ruminate about it since there isn't anything I can change by thinking about it all the time.

There is a great quote from Ernest Becker:
"The neurotic opts out of life because he is having trouble maintaining his illusions about it, which proves nothing less than that life is possible only with illusions."
"The problem isn’t the kids getting sick, it’s the adults teaching them getting sick and dying"

Isn't this exactly what the article is talking about? I think recognizing that we are doing this trade is a step in the right direction. Only then can we proceed to discuss how we should make that trade, instead of throwing kids whom have no say, and their future, right under the bus.
Was initially not super thrilled because the problem with Apple script via JS is not JS syntax.

I don’t think you’re a science denier, I don’t see in real life what you seem to take as fact.
It is ok to have critical thinking. Especially after the experts have shown time and again that they aren’t great at making sociopolitical choices. The experts were telling you not to wear masks in March and not to get booster shots in August and not to vaccinate children in September.

You live your life. You are the one to make your own choices. COVID is on its way to being flu 2.0 (the experts will tell you this if you ask the right questions). Compare it to the flu (especially if vaccinated) and ask yourself if not living your life for a minuscule risk is really worth it. Especially when most of the people actually at risk of death (the unvaccinated in the rich world) have been going out of their way to be at risk for many months.
Not mentioned in the article - but definitely already being prioritized for 2 years based on most policy decisions.
> [..] building hospitals and distributing vaccines.

Eh, I remember those pop-up hospitals they boasted about which ended up being glorified cages. I remember the headlines were something like "China builds a hospital in a week!", and then we heard nothing more after they were forced to tear them down before they fell down. Turns out you can't actually build something to last in a week - the concrete won't even set.

Regarding developing and distributing vaccines, I really suspect this is why the WIV didn't share their latest COVID sequencing data and took their database offline. (They claimed it was due to hackers, but they could have easily sent the database on a shipped hard drive or hosted it in the Alibaba cloud.) It could only serve to incriminate them and it gives them a few weeks head start for generating a vaccine. (It ended up being awful anyway and the local people choose not to take it due to a loss of faith in the CCP - for the same reason they still import their baby milk powder from abroad.)

> By doing a better job at it than democracies, the CCP could buy some praise from the public, but I'm unable to speculate whether the average Chinese citizen feels their government was heroic or not.

If you control all external media, why even bother doing a better job? You can simply claim the rest of the world is awful outside of China and that the CCP is the best thing since sliced bread.

> [..] as long as we keep voting our more radical representatives in, and being angry with the 'other side', the less likely we are to unite and overthrow the corrupt show of two-party politics.

Right, the only thing that happens in a two-party system is that one side is slightly less disappointed than the other. You find yourself voting for what you perceive to be the lesser evil.

I think these ideas are worth probing out as long as everybody involved remembers which parts are fact and which parts are speculation. When we confuse the two it becomes less fruitful.

I saw a video about this years ago by some racist idiot defining the “bad jews” as part of “international ‘Jewery’” and that he has no problem with Jewish individuals.
The far right is a pretty splintered group, and when you look even a little to the right of principled centrists you quickly get into serious horseshoe political theory territory. The 'Bush republicans' are very pro-Israel, but the 'election was stolen, covid is a conspiracy' post-Trump republicans aren't from that generation and aren't nearly as rational.

Arlington VA is a county, not a city, and has the land area and tax base of a county. Indeed Arlington is perhaps the most successful build out of mass transit in a community in the United States in the last 30 years.

Also the DC metro system is in fact organized across state lines and receives generous federal subsidies....DC Metro spends $4.7 billion a year. There's also interstate light rail from MD and VA to DC that's billions more. There are probably few cities in the world that have public transport more heavily subsidized than DC.

Commuter income tax reciprocity in DC metro is no different than most other regions.

The primary issue this week is that this section of Virginia rarely sees snowstorms of this magnitude and further most DC residents have no idea how to drive in it (or know when to stay home).

Ask HN: What do you do while waiting for the code to compile?
How does everyone spend time while they are waiting for their code to compile? More generally, there seem to be quite a few activities that do require focus over a longish period of time, but have natural breaks built into the process. How do you stay focused and keep yourself busy?
> The first is: I've met people who don't work. They're some of the most boring and wasteful people I've ever met.

I don't want to 'work'...doesn't mean I don't want to have the freedom to maybe 'work' if I want 60 hours per week on a side project..without worrying about paying clients.

I'm not lazy, per se. Easily distracted yes, (ADHD), but I want to build things that are important to me, and maybe others...not build things for other people anymore. If I had 500k, I'd buy land, build cheap homes, rent them out dirt cheap and work on building a worker co-op that builds software tools for unions, co-ops, etc and shared marketplaces (think like amazon/ebay) that gives money back to those who shop, sell, and work to build the platform.

Def. wouldn't go sit on a beach, have no desire to do that sort of thing. Might take the kids to Disneyland though.
Something to think about: If the essence of you is your conscience and that in turn much like how software is to hardware is applied information, and if information cannot truly be erased, only removed from the storage and processing medium then who you are cannot destroyed, only the medium you reside in. Is there a state or dimension where information can be processed without a medium of mass and energy to store and process it? Can your consciousness be backed up and restored?

Neuroscience does not go beyond the medium for consciousness and soul(or OS if you prefer).
I don't understand your point.

Even if HN used oAuth - even if they required oAuth - ultimately oAuth, oAuth as implemented on most sites is just a thin layer over email so you don't have to make another account.

The problem doesn't require blockchain as a solution. What would the website administrator gain from accepting a blockchain login? People would create accounts but you have no way of contacting them since you have no email. Clearly the kinds of sites you're describing wouldn't accept that.

OK so you associate an email with your blockchain login - so now it's the same as the status quo. What's the point?
Yeah right after all their bullshit perf metric shenanigans there’s no way I’m going to believe it on face value. How much longer have they been doing this than Crapple, and they think this is something to brag about? It’s 2004 all over again.

What is that even supposed to mean?

- The grade schoolers forced to eat outside in the cold.

This is not harmful, but is also not universal. I have not seen that personally. Hell, in Nordic countries people leave their infants outside in freezing temperatures to nap.

- The high schoolers who unofficially "dropped out" when their schools closed and will never return to receive their diploma.

No one cared about high school drop outs before. Why the sudden concern now?

> If we could build rail miles as cheaply and quickly as Western Europe, everyone in Fairfax Co could commute via rail except perhaps those work west of there.

I agree. But we can’t. It’s a cluster fuck even when it’s just one state. Maryland spent $7 billion building the Purple line, which is what Western European countries spent for similar amounts of fully automated underground heavy rail.

At some point we have to treat our infrastructure costs as realities to be planned around rather than solvable problems. This is a keen insight Lee Kuan Yew had in building Singapore. He admired many aspects of Anglo culture, but realized that not all of them would work in an Asian country: https://web.colby.edu/eas150/files/2017/11/Zakaria_LeeKuanYe.... America is a decentralized, low cohesion society built around having plenty of space for a bunch of different groups to leave each other alone. America is continually replenished by the people who are antisocial enough to leave their kin and homelands to start new lives thousands of miles away.[1] We aren’t Germans or Swedes or Japanese and shouldn’t beat our selves up trying to be them.
