I live in a European city! A city in which I could live my entire life without using delivery services and without stepping further than 15 minutes from my front door. Okay, maybe 20.

I agree that by that metric basically any European capital or major city has loads of this.

That's not what I understand the '15-minute city' concept to mean. The video posted is a good example of it. It seems to be centred more about fundamentally rewriting the way I live my life (e.g. get rid of the office, try to discourage me from going outside of that 15-minute zone by encouraging walking over all other forms of transport including trains/buses).

It's weird because I've just re-read my initial comment and I'm just re-typing what I said. Is there something confusing there?

Optionality is tautologically great, but discouraging people to travel is not that.

My dentist, my general practitioner, my gym, my favourite restaurant(s), my friends, the food store(s) I use are all in different parts of town, and I believe that hugely enriches my life. The job I used to have was about 30-45min away, and after work I would then explore _that_ area.

I could go to the ones next door, but then I'd only ever go next door. Why would I want to only ever go next door?

I guess basically I'm just reading American shit and thinking "what's all this nonsense about 15 minutes? what you want is a dense urban city with public transport".

I actually want my city and its' trains to expand out so that it's a 4 hour city and I can tap a card and get the tube to Manchester and wander about there, lol.
Only slightly relevant question,
when benchmarking a multi-process job, such as compilation, the timings of a single job-unit vary greatly between runs, as they might be scheduled to a complete different class cores, so comparing stuff like clang's `-ftime-trace` becomes exceedingly difficult.

So the question is, has someone found a way to force macos/terminal session/command invocation to run only on certain types of cores, for benchmarking purposes? I would imagine, command akin to caffeinate, but that would force the qos or available cores on all child processes would be ideal, but so far I haven't found a way to do that.
Unless other brands adopt something similar to trackpoint, they're all useless laptops to me. I even use a trackpoint keyboard for my desktop setup.

Ok, so let's implement them only in the non-rural areas, where the large majority of the population in Europe and the U.S lives.

Integrating third party blockchain microtransaction engines I think will be cheaper than implementing a custom solution for new games. I think it will in the future be viewed akin to adopting Auth0 for authentication rather than rolling your own - it seems cheaper to do it yourself until you want to get for ISO compliance or deal with JWT or SAML or OAuth or 2FA integration, and then you need your own people dealing with bugs, features, and UX designs distracting you from pushing your product's unique features forward.

Not like Brazil or Russia, but the newly developed suburbs of the nuveau-rich are the equivalent, even though they lack armed security and barbed wire fences typically associated with gated communities.
Yes, the first temperature times were typed onto a laptop, while it was still running. They were the correct temperature (unsuitable for the vaccines). I think they did temperature logs twice a day, don't remember well. Then it was found that afterwards they altered those first times and added the ones that were missing.
Albania is roughly the size of Maryland and Sweden is slightly bigger than California. So one protected river in Albania would be very good news.

Eh, I think the biggest change is that technic style bricks are pushed down much farther in the line than they used to be (late 70's early 80's). There are a lot more moving parts, more wheel and tire styles, and the average part is now a 1x or flat rather than a full height 2x4. There's also just a lot more sets and options.

The other big change is that all of the sets have instructions that the kids seem to start out following, and some of that comes from the branding, but some also comes from the more complicated nature of the more technic style sets.

There are a couple of unique parts per set, but nowhere near what most pundits claim. Most of the parts are interchangable for builds, especially if you're not too worried about the colors.

(source, 3 kids now in their teens with 10+ years of someone getting at least one set for christmas/birthday, and 1/3 m^3 of lego that's less and less used now. And my own collection of ~ 1/2 ft^3 from way back when)

> Besides all of that, the fundamentals for GME are great.

You need qualitative and quantitative to arrive at a fundamental value. Everything you’ve listed is qualitative.
> Yes! I don't get why more people (and elected officials) don't realize this.

They realize, but they don't care. Their equation is: Why put in public taxpayer money (and thus, risk their own "political capital") for a service that's:

- mostly going to be used by homeless (and a few people with medical issues like IBS)

- going to be constantly vandalized (graffiti), mistreated (discarding tampons and condoms in toilets is a "classic"), abused ("glory holes", drug consumption, ...) or in questionable hygienic conditions (e.g. people flinging poo to the walls and ceilings), requiring a significant maintenance budget

- mostly going to improve the quality of a service (public transit) that mostly poor and other down-on-their-luck people are using

when the ones that vote for the politicians don't profit?

Not to mention that many small city/town budgets are already severely under strain.

Middle-class and rich people and companies don't need public transport, they have cars, and they don't need public toilets as they have toilets at home, at their employment place and if need be can afford to buy a snack at a restaurant to use their toilet.

That perverse incentive is why it needs regulation of minimum standards for urban areas at a state or better federal level.
North Korea funding missile program through stolen crypto
From what I've seen there are now ~122,000 accounts for DRSed shares, and even if the average numbers we're seeing on reddit hold for all accounts (which I doubt), that's still only around ~18M shares, or 28% using your numbers. That's a lot, but it only matters when it reaches 100%.

I don't want to spread negativity, I have a bit of money invested as well on the off chance that the theories are true, but I'm placing my bets that if anything happens it'll be because of stricter regulations regarding short selling, not because of DRS.

>The number of specialised parts is one thing I dislike about modern Lego sets.

Lego started pulling back from that a long time ago because they were too expensive.

They had a leadership change in 2004, Jorgen Vig Knudstorp came in and one of the first things he did was halve the number of different parts.
No, because it is the population that can drive change in a country where politics has restricted them.
The "actual answer" here seems just aspirational. If it basically means "you have to spend enough money until everywhere else is so nice that no one wants to move to your country" then that is more money than there is. In the meantime, how do you create a system that doesn't require that amount of money?
Yes, for sure. I guess, in the end it, money wins?
I'm fine not having everyone take a citizenship test because the consequences are dire if you make people's citizenship dependent on the test. Statelessness is a cruel thing to put onto someone that can't seem to pass a test. At least the civics test I took was for immigration and I had multiple chances to pass - and mine was easier than the insane test folks take in the US and much more practical.

I do agree that we should make sure everyone knows how the systems work in reality, but realistically I'd want to lean into things folks would actually use instead of memorizing dates and names: You don't need to know all the laws, just how they pertain to you. You don't need all government structure, but general and the things you'll probably deal with (local government, motor vehicle laws, etc), what to do if you find yourself disabled, poor, or needing time off for surgery. Making sure everyone knows worker and tenant rights would be a step in the right direction as well, as well as what to do about these sorts of things.
> Were you alive during the 20th century? If so, can you maybe go into more context for what you're referring to, because this was not my experience in my neighborhood.

I'm only in my 30's, but my adolescence was essentially pre-internet. My grandfather, who I lived with, was a very politically involved person. He essentially parroted whatever was on TV, which, since this was pre-internet, was pretty centrist in order to appeal to the most people. The internet had yet to break them into inflammatory niches for what little ad revenue was left. I remember he'd go and picket with various groups, argue on the street with Bill Clinton supporters and stuff like that. He's an extremely nice and polite guy, so talking with people in real life always kept him apprised of the humanity of the people he was disagreeing with. Hell, he had to see them afterwards in the grocery store on occasion.

Now he just sits on the computer and parrots whatever spam non-sense made it into his email inbox. The other side is no longer a set of people living much the same life as him, it's a cabal of rich people hell bent on murdering babies and they'll hand out all the money necessary to get whatever power they want. I've watched pretty much my entire family slide from center-right to nonsense-right over the last 20 years.

There was a small reprieve recently. He was working with a Black man who was his antithesis, and they got along OK enough. My grandpa seemed to settle down for a time. He's no longer able to work now though, and he's definitely back in the mode of spinning out over non-sense.

> There were cults and converts before the Internet. Some were very famous. You haven't heard of any of them? People...uh...found a way.

I don't think the internet created the phenomenon, but it, both, enabled more elaborate and large scale lies, and gave people a lot more options for which lies they want to be told. Before, you were limited to who you ran into, or word of mouth from a friend. Now, any kid feeling cast out from their peers can run to a dark haven of any sort, any religion, and political leaning, any take on violence, whether they live in rural Kentucky or a condo in Seattle.
One major complaint (of mine) is the small size if the arrow keys. Macbook pro is even worse with up/down keys smaller than left/right. I don't know why but they all keep a huge right shift key that I never use. They should cut it to half and give more spaces to the arrow keys.

Sadly the new Macbook pro keeps the design. I'm getting sick of hitting page up/down accidentally when navigating code.
Ah yes checkout Bluebrixx, they are German...the quality...not where it's produced of curse.
Yeah, I've been on Wayland and Sway for almost two years now. Screen sharing with Zoom was hit or miss for a while but is now relatively reliable (at least as much as Zoom is reliable). I can't really quantify anything, but it definitely feels like better performance and reliability than I used to get with Xorg (on a dual 4K monitor setup).

Mainly music, go through ~10 albums a day, play / jam along, recent obsession is Sun Ra. Have a band and we play together about once a week, which is also almost the only time I social and I found that to be just enough.

Other than that mainly just thinking, philosophy and stories. Currently building a fictional world, have hundreds of years of detailed history and characters to fill in, couple of languages to design, really can occupy all my time.

There's another one software related that's currently on hold, which is to write every software I use myself, like programming languages, game engines, drawing / music programs, music players etc. Also a life-time project
>But, again, in practice, the people in power do not allow free speech. And this is fundamentally different from most examples of cancel culture.

Here in Canada we actually removed freedom of speech. Hate speech laws are tremendously vague and are really not used to prevent anything bad. Sure the Westboro baptists have their 'god hates canada' stuff but realistically speaking it's never used to prevent anyone who is promoting genocide. Literally not once.

Instead the hate crime laws have 99% of the time been used against political opponents. This has created an environment where every single right-wing leader has been labelled a white supremacist. Not because they are in fact white supremacists but because this would put them at odds with hate speech laws and can then be silenced.

Just look at this trucker convoy. The media smeared them as white supremacists and fringe minority. This weekend there was solidarity protests and they were labelled 'nation wide insurrection' and 'occupation'. Ottawa declared a state of emergency and has started arresting and ticketing peaceful protestors.

This is the justification for Gofundme to seize the donations and disperse the money to charities of their choosing.

In reality many truckers are Indian and certainly not white supremacist.

Those Indian men are the white supremacists!

Yet there were pictures of nazi flags right? Yet here we are unable to determine who that was. It seems like this flag was counter protesters trying to label these Indian truckers as white supremacists.

This is why freedom of speech is important. When you create exceptions, political opponents use these to silence politics.
I suspect that a HN poll would reveal that most think it has gone down hill.
> Not needing retraining was a good goal because it improves safety.

That only works if retraining is not actually needed. Boeing's own test program gave adequate (but undisclosed, at the time) information for an independent observer to conclude that this was not the case here.

The fundamental issue is a complete lack of any financial literacy education in the United States. The average person has zero to negative logic running in their heads how finance and the financial world operate. So, of course, every manner of magic fairy dust logic is a possible explanation given the black hole void most people have when it comes to how financial logic operates.
Agree with you, there are many systems like this. What I'd like to know is if a system using public and decentralized distributed ledger wouldn't be cheaper and/or easier to implement effectively (on a poor, corrupt country). Because you're adding more steps, like having third parties. How many? What if said third-party decide to quit checking after one year. Which database supplier do I trust to make the database public and final? To me, it seems more complicated and less transparent.
Are we talking about travel or right to work? The latter tends to be beneficial to both countries as it prevents brain drain without the country having to impose exit bans / quotas.
1) Stocks in companies have value not just because people buy and sell them to each other at higher and higher prices, but because companies add value to the world, and generate income.

2) the difference between a crypto rug pull and a company being drained of its resources is that the second one would result in a police investigation, and fraud charges. It would be illegal, because of the laws that protect investors from exactly that situation.

If "It's all the same" then why invest in crypto at all? It's way riskier, and had a lot more negative externalities.
Well, I think it's a combination of things. First, you kinda have to be an optimist to create something like Etherium in the first place. I met the founders out in Toronto before the coin was even off the ground and while there were some sketchy drug dealers at their meetups, the crowd seemed mostly kind-techno-optimist.

So the creator of the coin is more likely to see continued upsides once the coin is off the ground and a bit of cognitive dissonance comes in and he donates some of the gains to good causes here and there and gets praised by people like pg so it creates a kinda shield against what would have been obvious to him if he were introduced to the scene as it exists now.

Tech initiatives are almost never led by someone that's simultaneously honest and a clear eye'd realist.
Sorry for calling you a troll. That wasn't fair to you, and also isn't good for the discussion.

No, Wayland introduces new sources of fragmentation that did not exist before. Imagine trying to write a screenshotting program, or an xdotool replacement.

I feel you. I don't like Pascal much these days either - I used to use Delphi for a long time back in the dark ages. That was absolutely fantastic, and I argue that we never got anything as good as that ever again. Lazarus is close.

Arguably I'd rather write stone age Pascal vs [hype web language], specially on the desktop platform, even if it means sacrificing niceties such as good IDE support.
Exactly what I wanted was a MBP2015 13/15 inch with "retina display" ie. 2560x1600 px glossy with anti reflective coating (the first iterations would have the coating get loose but I was able to get free replacement on both). Not matte. Its what I got (both 13" and 15"), though they're showing their age. With brightness on full, there's barely any reflection (I get easily distracted and I don't notice it). If Mac ecosystem is a must, the spiritual successor would be a M1-based laptop. These have, on paper, even better screens.
Collab mode is awesome
Indeed. Valve established DRM to a degree many previously hoped it would get rejected. But they offered a decent service and proved that piracy is a service problem. What they did for Linux as a gaming platform is spectacular. Not many people use it yet, but Windows does look less and less like a dependable long term solution, especially with Microsofts other ambitions in that industry.
is this related to Microsoft shutting down Azure Blockchain due to lack of interest?

No don‘t get me wrong. I see this as well and have an inner fight when the typical: Let’s clean this up PR pops up. What I mean are changes that have no real value other than a change from Person X in file Y. Yes one can rename tons of methods and variables. But maybe these names stem for a reason. I have one example where the variable names where generic in nature and the change request renamed them according to the concrete implementation. You can argue back and forth about this :)
I dunno. Maybe the joke is spot on. Sure we can chicken-and-egg the problem, but someone has to be the first to make scientific discoveries just as much as reach new heights in poetry. And we surely have enough known examples of luminaries who had absolutely horrendous parents or teachers or life circumstances. We don't have great records about the historical Shakespeare, and I don't dismiss your PoV out of hand, but I am not sure it's totally correct either. We have to leave room for natural genius and insight.
Is this at room temperature?

> Are you saying that if you made $124,999 you owe $0, but if you made $125,000 you owe $18,750?

Just in general: almost no sane tax system works like this.

There are sometimes some nooks and crannies of insanity in some parts of a tax system, but seldom in something as mainstream as income tax brackets.
It's not just that. Europe in general has at least somewhat decent mental health care, way less veterans with untreated horrible PTSD, somewhat working involuntary admission to mental institutions, and somewhat affordable housing - meaning you have a lot less homeless and mentally unstable persons forced by circumstances to survive in/on/near public transit.

Not to say Europe is perfect: London, Berlin and other urban areas certainly have their issues in all of the mentioned areas. But we are miles ahead of the US.
> Interesting language analysis, but I disagree with the conclusion. Authors merely stating "conclude" or "determine" instead "believe" or "feel" doesn't prove they actually were any more or less rational or logical.

It actually does. The primary difference is first-person pronoun use versus reliance upon external factors, such as evidence of any kind. That shift indicates a trend towards narcissistic thinking and possibly isolation.
