I don't think I've ever heard of anyone projecting that image onto Facebook. Perhaps I simply live in a different context, but this raised both of my eyebrows pretty high.
It was cheaper then, about $600. (still expensive and worth it, but not "almost a grand")
We might be talking about different things then. Or maybe not.

You want people in government making long term strategic decisions that steer society. They should be listening to the will of the people as to what direction to steer it. I hope we can agree on that much.

I think people forget that "regulators" though are really just large organizations that enforce/interpret laws. The obvious example is the SEC; it has 4200 employees and none of them create laws, their rules are an effort to enforce the laws created by congress using their technical competence in finance.

> You want competence for strategically sound decisions to achieve a goal, but setting it should be done with input of people that have not been groomed that advertising is a human necessity.

That's the world we live in. Congress has been completely incompetent when it comes to regulating finance and I'd expect them to be even worse when it comes to technology.

There absolutely has to be a layer of industry specific competence (from "insiders") to make any sense of industry specific laws. I don't want insiders choosing direction though; I want congress to be less reprehensible idiots.
Only if sidewalk is really literally just a bit to the side of the road that you walk on.

As I’m not American, I don’t know if this is or isn’t how y’all use the word, but I did assume it was just the American term for a public footpath, and those don’t need to be beside a road.

e.g. the north-south paved footpath between 11 and 65 Southbrook Rd: https://goo.gl/maps/JpoTcarePZZ7Neij9 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/50.84552/-0.98156

And if that isn’t what being discussed here, it ought to be, because the value is in being able to get around on foot rather than specifically to duplicate the road network.

(Likewise, I don’t think it would be valid to say “ahh, but each end connects to a road”, because that’s like including the cost of the M25 in the cost of the A111).
For those wishing to read a (Dutch, translated to English) article about him:

Nils van der Poel (25) registered four years ago for the toughest military training there is in Sweden. It was part of his master plan to become the best long-distance skater in the world

..

To keep up with the demanding regime, Van der Poel alternates his training sessions with fun things. Skydiving, in his case. In the summer he moves to Västerås airbase and takes up residence in one of the barracks of the local Flygklubb. There he builds himself a tree house, eight meters high. He has no fixed place of residence or residence. His mail is delivered to the yellow house on Staafsgatan in Trollhättan, where he grew up and where his father still lives. He also lives out of a bag.

His friends from the parachute club in Västerås, 300 kilometers away, may get a call from him; whether he can come over that evening, and whether he can stay the night. Then he cycles there, eats hamburgers and drinks a beer with his mates, before cycling back to Trollhättan the next day. “Nils is always himself,” says Mikael Helgesson, one of his buddies at the club. "He's nice and sociable, says what he thinks without offending anyone." Helgesson thinks that skydiving is an outlet for Van der Poel. “When you jump, you can't think of anything else for a while. You leave the world behind, escape from the daily grind. I think that's exactly what he was looking for.”
Given all the brouhaha around Spotify hosting "controversial" podcasts I cobbled up a tool to actually listen to those things using my favourite podcast listening devices: old phones.

Are you claiming Schwab is lying in that video?

One of the riches man in the world claims he provides leadership training for politicians and has gained influence and political alignment through it.
And is know for large donations to his selected preferred group of these politicians.

Its kind of like claiming Harvard has influence on lawyers through its law program. Totally unbelievable I know right.
"much of the congestion, which acted as the only reasonable limit to speed"

Based on my recent experiences, I sort of agree - but more so as a negative control. My area does not have much bumper to bumper traffic, and never has. I have not noticed additional increase in speeding.

The thing I have noticed is bad decision making or inattentive behavior. People pulling out when they shouldn't (possibly due to misjudged speed), or looking at their phone and drifting from their lane.
Very impressive and useful!
Random distribution?

As you said, you can later on give the exception to the students naturally.
> Comments like this need to come with links so people can make up their own minds.

Open sourcing something and maintaining an open source project are two things that should not be conflated. You can have one without the other.
What is this??? I've never seen it before? Is it running of half life source engine?
> Author is right in the sense why are we giving up all this content to an often antagonistic third-party service.

Because it's seen and interacted with, whereas it otherwise might not be. People are vain. It's not more complicated than that.
We're talking about low maintenance, low security risk and long lasting.
None of those are compatible with transpilers, node, javascript or web tech in general.
The types of nits I raise are the ones where I think the author of the pull request would appreciate as something they should do going forward. For example:

if foo > bar:
return foo
else:
return bar

Should just be:

return max(foo, bar)

That's a nit because what they wrote was fine, but it's longer than it should be.
At the risk of taking seriously a sarcastic comment (and doing it by responding instead of downvoting): it's a combination of higher value land use and the magnitude of outcomes. Drivers kill people, make noise, pollution, smells, are expensive to accommodate, and take up a lot of space. People may dent cars while they are being killed, do not have loud engines, have negligible emissions, and generally improve places around them by being present and engaging in commerce. People are also much smaller.

Extremely valuable places have lots of people interacting. Low value-per-acre places accommodate cars well. When there is a conflict between the two, the higher value-per-acre use should be expected to win because, by the mechanism that we use to allocate the space (money), the higher value use is, by definition, better.

Also, from a perspective of what was there first (another principle of ownership): unarmored, walking people are the default state of humans. Armored 4-ton 65mph people are a recent change and a very expensive change, at that. So it stands to reason that we prefer the pre-existing state (though not by the US American traffic engineering system.)

There is also an ethical principle deriving from Judaism, and expanded by Christianity, which says that all people have intrinsic value and by extension should not be killed. This intrinsic value is accepted in western culture and is taken to apply to all people, whether they are too disabled to drive a car, too young to drive, too old to drive, or too poor to drive.

I know this is just a small sampling of the answer to your question, but I don't want to get too tedious here.
I have seen many blame reduced police enforcement caused by low staffing and apathy. Does this seem like a factor in your experience?
Realistically, this should never happen on a halfway busy city road - and by the time you get to neighborhoods, it shouldn't be an issue because of (hopefully) low speeds. We should have sidewalks and other barriers to keep pedestrians safe: Making sure they have the right of way only increases this. The only time someone really would need to walk on the other side is on country roads, and honestly, there is only so much walking on the other side will do.
You're probably right, but the fact that underlying technology will be present may be used by someone to implement it.

Like in the case of the Shelter app.

> It seemed every bit as tribal as twitter

The active ingredient there is the word 'seemed'. If you look closer and deeper, you'll see that HN is an experiment in a completely different sort of site—not just from Twitter, but from all the other major ones. This is partly because of the values it was founded with*, but equally because of the initial conditions of its design—primarily the fact that it's non-siloed, meaning there are no follow lists or social graphs or any of the other devices that online communities use to partition themselves. That has profound effects.

I've written about this many times. The most in-depth attempt was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098. There are others at https://hn.algolia.com/?query=silo%20by%3Adang&dateRange=all...

* Primarily intellectual curiosity. Note: when I say HN was founded on that value I am not saying that it always, or even mostly, lives up to it. Just that it's in the DNA and that makes a difference.

> I don't know if I'm "trapped" but switching between lines was trivial

That’s the trap, it’s extremely easy to change networks.

> the price differences being so marginal it didn't even matter. I don't care that I'm spending 30 yen (roughly $0.30) extra for a more direct route.

That was not my experience at all. The price difference was routinely 100% or more, especially for cross-city trips where the “direct” route would have multiple network swaps, whereas a slightly less direct route (adding maybe 1/10th the trip length or less) would have 0~1 network changes.

In fact, just looking at the fare structures you can’t be correct: they start at 170~180Y, and reach double the initial fare at something like 40km. I would expect JR to be similar. The entry fare is an outsized component of the total, and will be the vast majority of it unless you travel very long distances. Even more so if you network switch as the “distance counter” resets on every network change.

So if you make a single trip with one network change you’ll be paying 350Y minimum, versus under 200 if you remain in-network and the distance traveled is below 10km or so.

as written in a different comment, electric cars are very soon going to be the norm. and since they don't use any petrol during their usage, governments are trying to find out how to recoup that potentially lost tax revenue. one such way is via "tax per mile". whatever way they choose, i don't expect any government to simply give up on that tax revenue, as that will force them to either increase other taxes or explain to their voters that some state-funded services will have to close.
Until you run into a HTTP/2 to HTTP/1 tunneling setup where your HTTP/2 frontend thinks it forwarded one well defined and safe HTTP/1 message to your backend, but the backend sees an additional malformed HTTP/1 header field that changes the message length and suddenly it sees a second malicious message. The result leaking thousands of user authentication tokens for some widely used web services. If necessary robustness should be part of the spec, not some wild and ill defined outgrowth of implementations that some intern hacked in at the eleventh hour to make things work just before release.

Sure, but did the 'Whiteness' and 'White supremacy' bogeymen come from Frankfurt school too? Doubtful. The basic attitude of looking for bogeymen and purported "oppression" to be struggled against is textbook from the "Gang of Four". What the Frankfurt School contributed was to reinforce the focus on culture and expand it to encompass societal dynamics, what you call "a bunch of sociologists doing research".

Ask HN: Best sep-up for mixed meetings (remote and on site)?
Currently we use Zoom + Logitech cam 960-001034 (as cam + microphone on site). About 6 people on site + 4 remote.

The experience is far from good. Remote people complain about being able to understand what people on site say. Ideally, everyone would use their own headset, but then we would have an audio feedback problem. What would be an appropriate set-up for this kind of mixed meeting?

Thank you!

While I like all these proposed changes individually and PEPs are always well intentioned, my concern is the the Python syntax is getting too “big”.

Pythons massive advantage and the reason it’s so successful is it’s simplicity. Adding syntactic features only adds more surface area for people to learn when coming to the language and barriers to entry for people looking to contribute to an unfamiliar codebase.

There are a few over the last few years I truly love, such as “f strings”, the typing syntax though I’m less convinced by (and I really like TypeScript).

The recently added “walrus operator” is a good example of a syntactic addition that is both brilliant for experienced Python coders but also adds friction to new people learning the language. It’s presence in a codebase could confuse people.

Python is supposed to “favour explicit over implicit” and has always been more “wordy”, symbol based operators that aren’t inherently explicit in their meaning (like this proposed =>) are the type I’m particularly worried about.

Edit:

I just want to add, I don’t think these additions “damage” the language, it’s just the additional friction for people to pick it up or approach an unfamiliar codebase that worries me (maybe unduly). I love Python and these don’t put me off wanting to continue to use it as my primary language. In many ways I look forward to using them as an experienced Python developer.
Dynamic pricing is just a way to justify trackers.

I could see this being useful for friends that I haven't seen or don't have the opportunity to see. When I was in school, I interned in a few different states over the Summers, working with and meeting a ton of great people. We aren't best friends by any means, but I'd like to know how Chris is doing, ya know? We both know we're just acquaintances at this point, but I like catching up with them once and a while, and it's easy to forget otherwise.

Probably a difference in personality between us, since I find the idle chit-chat kind of nice, but I can absolutely understand being on the other end.
I think it’s much the same reason why you see an actor like Bruce Willis in many of the same roles. He keeps refusing them until the price tag is high enough. Also reference the Taken series of movies.
As someone who has driven quite extensively in SF, LA, NYC, and Boston, I don't know why Bostonians are adamant that their traffic and drivers are as bad as these other cities. My #1 frustration with Boston traffic is how "polite" drivers are. Multiple times, I've had the last car in a string of cars stop at a green light to let me turn left which is probably the most infuriating/stupid thing you can do. What I will say is that Boston has a unique set of infrastructure that involves many lights and convoluted intersections (Davis Square - where 7 streets meet) where you are absolutely punished in terms of time and so I think people definitely push it around these intersections. That being said, I biked 2 miles as my commute this entire fall from Somerville to Cambridge and never encountered anything noteworthy.
There's reasons to be suspicious but it's also important to remember that mobile phones see much deeper penetration. About 84% of the world's population has a smartphone. Annually, ~1.6 billion phones are shipped vs 275 million PCs.

I’m building a game like this right now with a small team.
It takes place in an O’Neill cylinder and if you die, you die. The goal is also to survive for months, which allows a player to make their character much strong that starters and have much better equipment. It also makes them targets though, so they need to build a tribe that protects them.

The game is built in Unreal Engine 5 with hyperrealistic graphics.

It’ll go live in a couple of weeks for alpha testing, so if you want to test the alpha, you can sign up on the website. https://extrastar.wixsite.com

There’s a huge difference between once a year and zero. Think of the strong traditions behind birthday or annual holiday greetings, for instance.

1. People already use remote desktop software in order to interact with desktop OSs from the iPad.

2. The iPad Pro already has keyboard and mouse support

3. The iPad Pro is already powerfull enough to run virtual machines via emulation, see UTM

4. The formfactor is already prooven by the success of Microsoft Surface and copies.

5. The virtualization APIs created by Apple already exist

This is just a matter of Apple having an enforced monopoly on app distribution and using that power to dictate what you should be able to use each device for.
It's not so much that sidewalks are financially unsustainable--at least if they're built at the same time as the road. But, for example in the semi-rural area where I live, literally no one would use a sidewalk if there were one. There's nowhere to walk other than to a neighbor and you don't need a sidewalk to do that. And it's going to be unusable for a few months a year unless it's maintained because of snow. (And I sure wouldn't want to be on the hook for maintaining/shoveling a sidewalk on my long frontage for something no one used.)
This assertion is made about many "fringe" social/political sentiments (or alternatively, some version of "they're trolling you"), but I think people frequently misunderstand how many practical similarities there are between one promoting these things "ironically" vs sincerely, outside of one's own mind.
> I've often been embarrassed to describe my day to some of my friends.

Nearly every bad day at work I had ended with beers + sometimes a huge (and expensive) party. This is lifestyle comparable to high-level directors in other fields. No wonder it's totally unrelatable experience to them - they usually find the boss of their company relatable too.
> I typically spend a few minutes researching what they’ve been up to recently.

So this process isn’t for friends? I find this behavior personally strange. I’d rather get the information on what they’ve been up to from them directly, and the way I do that is to video call them on a weekend to catch up.

It really is impersonal in my opinion to learn about a friend via broadcast messages posted to social media.

As for the technique in the post, I do agree. Some regularity is needed. Every few weeks I call people via video and talk. Others I share photos about what I’ve done via Signal and ask how they’re doing.
No, we're not. Censorship of public comments are not new or particularly notable, and you could say far less (or more accurately, a different restricted set of things) in a public forum 50 years ago than you can say now.

Also, characterizing Orwell's dystopia as consisting of "censorship, mind control, and violence" is not meaningful or specific. We have and have always had censorship, we have and always have enforced norms through violence, and "mind control" doesn't mean anything. Orwell's dystopia was based on total surveillance with multiple layers of redundancy. That's the important thing that is happening now. And there's not a writer at Quillette than has anything against it. They're busy complaining that the normal allies of intolerance are blowing them off when it affects their marketing.

Take comfort, Quillette, in the fact that plenty of the people who will fire you in a second from their companies to alleviate the pressure of a bad media cycle initiated on twitter because you called a black person a monkey, those same people are financing your magazine and salaries, and found your tweet funny.
