The only thing I'm personally missing from the current system is a chance to find replies to older comments.

As an HN-ish proposal, how about a link on the user page for replies, but only to comments which can't be downvoted (24 hours, for those who might not know)? It could have a number next to it and would surface replies from newest to oldest, but again, only to comments outside of the downvote window.

This would allow some conversations of technical interest to play out days or weeks later, which is of value to users who find hacker news threads sometimes years after the topic was current.

This avoids the dopamine bump of active notifications completely, and prevents tossing gasoline on flamewars, which only rage while the antikarma button is active.
Reigning in copycat developers is not a bad thing for the consumer base. Have an original idea and one with more effort than what could be summarized in a youtube tutorial and I don't see why they would reject. I don't want to discredit OP's 'hackathon' night of coding, but making a blog post because you paid the annual $100 and Apple rejects your mud that you threw at the wall hoping it would stick is why I like being an Apple user.

If Apple cites copycat as a rejection, there's already likely 50 other apps just like it and the pattern of app is finally being rejected. There's still opportunity, but you need to be an 'early copycat' to make it so.

When I reread it, I realized I've been programming BASIC in every computer language I used since I learned BASIC. That includes C, C++, Python, Perl, and even LISP. Well, not LISP.
You're missing the point. Anything wanting data integrity will now have to use F_FULLFSYNC, which is slow on this firmware. You might say "you shouldn't care about data integrity to this degree", but databases do, and lots of developers run databases on their machines, and now they'll be real slow. Maybe they'll add some config options like `i_promise_i_dont_care_about_data_integrity = 1`, but come on.
The security aspect is something I'm concerned about for sure. I have even considered making the Open Source client mandatory, but that could be overkill.
Can't say this has been my experience. Many of the places I've found with the best discussions have had little to no moderation. The old IMDB boards, for example, were almost entirely devoid of moderation, but had some of the best and most informative discussions about movies and TV shows. There are a number of niche forums I frequent that are similar.

I've even seen a number of subreddits with no moderators/inactive moderators which were pretty good, even with a few thousand members.

I suppose might be that the forums you're discussing may be one of the ones created with the express selling point of having low/no moderation, while these other places where created as a place to have discussions first and foremost.
Email is a couple of related but separable things.

One of those things is transport and all that it entails (delivery, storage, addressing, etc.) Another is a particular kind of messaging.

One can use the transport for other kinds of messaging.

Maybe I'm cynical, but as someone who has been struggling to buy a home for 10 years, I think we're fucked. NIMBYism was already a brick wall with trying to convince people to allow more houses to be built, because no one will voluntarily agree to something that will cause their house to drop in value.

But now it's not just even about your house. Now your 401k might be tied into one of these investment firms that flip houses. So trying to convince a retiring boomer that not only will his house be worth less, but also his retirement fund might dip? Not gonna happen.
The difference is in my example you're preventing someone from using a service that someone agreed to provide for an agreed upon price.

Your example is a hand-wavy hypothetical about how allowing some service impacts others by second and third order effects by what could be there instead.

Do you see the difference?
Can you give a more specific example?

Usually you have to go where those affected people are in order to get out of your subjective zone. When you get there you find those who are concerned and look for signs of controversy. Arguments, trolls, emotional behavior, etc.

Another simple example, but you can see people do this with Ask submissions (and their analogs in other communities): They front-load the problem with objectivity by asking others, "what problems are bothering you," "what would make work easier for you," etc.

This is how they identify the problem in the first place. A lot of them are looking to leverage the feedback into buy-in when they come back with a solution.

The approach looks simple but it does a good job of keeping the leverage side clean of too much subjectivity in the beginning of the process, so it's easier to make sure it's a problem that's not just something you perceive. (Also if you get "yeah, but..." feedback to your solution, it starts looking rude really fast, which can be the right kind of pressure when your solution is novel or requires some learning)
Ask HN: Would the Framework laptop be ideal for pen testing?
I’ve been reading a lot of pen testing stories lately and it got me wondering if Framework would be the ideal design? Customizeable for the job, small form factor, etc. Seemed like an ideal use case.
Sure, I don't think individual homeowners are the enemy... it's the large investors that treat housing stock like gold to lock away in a safe. Some large investors don't even operate as landlords (which is another industry that could use a cap), they'll buy new units in managed buildings and keep them vacant.
That would require a much larger change to the tax code as currently interest on business loans are tax deductible. I suspect changing this would be a good idea, but it’s a huge change.

The obvious fix is a nationwide property tax that doesn’t apply to primary residences, but again it’s hard to say what that would do.
> I'm not aware of any government forcing you to get vaccinated, I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I guess it depends on what the meaning of "force" is.

If to you "force" means a literal gun literally aimed at your head (not literally as in figuratively) then you're right, no force has been applied yet.

If to you "force" includes regulations and arm-twisting of employers and retailers to require employees and patrons to get vaccinated, then force most definitely has been applied. That force does involve figurative guns to people's heads. If the government decrees that employers must do X, employers will do X on pain of whatever the decree says (fines, cancellation of business licenses, etc.). Fines are backed by guns: if you scofflaw enough then you will end up in prison, and if you resist arrest you will end up roughed up or dead, as in the government's agents will rough you up and possibly kill you, and they'll use firearms in the process.

I.e., the threat of force is force.

The law recognizes this. "Assault with a deadly weapon" doesn't mean that the weapon was actually physically applied to the victim -- it means that de minimis a threat was made to apply it physically to the victim.

It's quite disingenuous to say that governments haven't forced anyone to get vaccinated. In many cases there are literally no laws requiring it, or requiring anyone to require it, but the impression given to the public, and to employers, retailers, etc., is very much that force is being threatened. Even if in the end there are no actual laws making it so, for the average person there might as well have been.

Back to assault with a deadly weapon, I doubt that using a realistic toy weapon would vitiate the charge. If the victim cannot trivially tell what that the deadly weapon isn't actually a deadly weapon, then the assault has to be considered as being with a deadly weapon. The same must be true for coercion with pretend-laws and decrees -- if the victims are led by their victimizers to believe that force is being threatened, then force is being threatened.

Not necessarily. The "ecosystem" refers to every product Apple makes, not just the fact that they control app distribution.

You may have friends, colleagues, or bosses who insist that you use iMessage or FaceTime. The former is Apple-exclusive, and the latter... well it technically supports web browsers, but the setup is way clunkier than just getting or sending a call from an app. Apple has internally discussed this and absolutely does not want the process of sending messages to iPhone users from Android users to be easy, lest kids buy cheap Android phones.

Or, alternatively, you want to use an item-tracker to track lost items. AirTags are the best option available because the app for it is built into iOS; whereas Android-compatible competitors like Tile or Chipolo absolutely do not have that kind of network size. In fact, this actually made Android phones slightly dangerous to use, because all of the anti-stalking features AirTags have are designed around the stalking victim having an iPhone.[0]

Or you like AirPods, which have firmware that only updates on Apple devices. You can use them with Android phones (I do), but even things like battery status require third-party apps, auto-switching doesn't work, and you can't configure all the settings the AirPods have. This also applies for MFi hearing aids, which is actually the thing that got my dad to switch off Android and onto iPhone.

Every product Apple releases is another thing Android phones can't do or can't do well, and another reason why someone who might absolutely hate the App Store would buy an iPhone despite instead of because of it.

[0] Yes, I'm aware of the Tracker Detect app. As far as I'm concerned, that's a half-measure, because most stalking victims are not going to be aware of it until they've already been stalked. To misquote Steve Jobs, it's a feature, not a product. You need to bundle that feature into something else that people might actually install - like, say, actual AirTags support apps.
There's a fundamental between someone who is living in a home they buy and someone (or some company) who is renting it out.
> Not quite, you'd get the maximum distance from the extreme end of one territory to the nearest point of the other.

But which country do you pick the extreme edge of, and which country do you pick the nearest point of? For example, if measuring US<->Canada, do you pick the extreme end of Canada or the extreme end of the US?

I find `man X | grep Y` actually works OK, and the "see also" at the bottom is quite helpful for finding related information.

But if I don't already know exactly what I'm looking for, it's hard to use. It's really difficult to "learn about" how to open sockets if I can't remember sockaddr_t exact spelling or the right header to include.
Communism? We sit here and allow wealth inequality to take record highs and then we're shocked when the capitalists are so strong that they own the government?

This is uncontrolled capitalism imo. When the rich have such buying power that they own governments, as they do now, you can't really call it communism now can you? The government is just an arm of the rich now, and nothing will change until that is brought into check. Getting rid of government wouldn't stop the rich either.

It's less flawed than relying on a low-strength memorable password that's reused across all services. Having a uniquely generated, random password for each service that gets autofilled by the password manager is much more secure.
> The Moon is, first and foremost, a weapons platform

This just isn't true. To quote Isaac Arthur, "there is no such thing as an unarmed spaceship". Kinetic energy is all the weapon you need.

Any colony on the Moon or Mars would need to be essentially self-sufficient from day one because the cost of getting payloads to eitehr are so vast to be uneconomical.

Housing will never be relatively cheap until it’s easier to build a house. It will never be easier to build a house until zoning is more lenient.

No state is incentivized to make zoning more lenient. Therefore it falls on the federal government, who lack the authority.

The only thing they can do is something similar to what they do with the highways and threaten to take away funds unless all plots of land can be zoned for up to 4-family houses (FHA limit).

Potentially quadrupling the amount of housing will do it.
I think the developer made a very clear case as to why they do not have a simple copycat experience. Please read the essay.
No wealth inequality is coming from monetary policy. Its too cheap to borrow money and invest with it. Theres an equilibrium. People dont understand, when you make the interest rate on money so low, people can borrow billions and throw it into new assets, running the cost up on those assets. Thats whats happening with housing, cheap money is buying housing and generating a return
Other than deducting mortgage interested from your taxes, is there currently any government subsidy for investment property mortgages?
It is the only thing that's prevented by Apple, and the rest lies on the developer.

It is the major visible prevention method.

App developers who track anyway live in fear of Apple finding out and executing its nuclear option: banning them from the App Store.

Heroku did so much right. I recently was toying with some bot frameworks (think Discord or IRC, nothing spammy or review-gaming) and getting everything set up on a free tier dyno with free managed sql backing it up, and a github test/build integration, all took an hour or so. Really exceeded my expectations.

Not sure how it scales for production loads but my experience was so positive I'll probably go back for future projects.

100% agree. Beyond that too, it is very difficult (relative to FHA or even Conventional mortgage) to get approved for a construction loan, and in a lot of cases you have to close on your loan twice, the extra fees and higher interest rates eating into your potential savings. There's also no way you're going to get that loan without a general contractor overseeing the entire operation, who will take 20% off the top alone, which don't get me wrong, is fair if you need it. If you want to do anything DIY to save cash and hire inspectors to catch your mistakes + professionals to do risky/difficult stuff (electric, plumbing, HVAC), you can't do it with the bank's money.

Also, it is pretty common for county codes to require each home to be a minimum 1000 sqft (at least in FL and MI). Even if we don't want to allow tiny homes of sub-500 sqft to gasp potentially lower the value of my home by giving someone else a place to live, the 700-900 sqft range is still very nice for a lot of people.

Australia and Canada both have vaccine mandates. You're either being willfully ignorant or trolling. If the later, 10/10 great bait mate.
Seems like there has been pretty heavy asset inflation across the board for the past ~decade and investors are desperate for returns. I mean it seems to make sense, the ultra cheap money isn't really available to most people. Most people's marginal rate is probably a credit card at 20+%.

Big businesses/very wealthy can access very low rates by 1. pledging collateral and borrowing-> buy assets-> pushes asset prices up-> collateral worth more-> back to step 1.

With houses they know the average person(who is a homeowner) will fight tooth and nail to keep prices high. Especially people who have bought recently. The higher prices are the more incentive people have to keep them high as it becomes a greater % of their net worth. Tyranny of the majority.

Feels like in Canada we are basically seeing the emergence of some sort of neo-serfdom where the majority of young people(and older renters) who don't have significant family support are spending so much on rent they will never be able to own and year after year rent takes up a greater and greater amount of their salary. It's not at all uncommon to hear about people living in hallways or many people to a room in the GTA/GVA.

With this mindset we won't get very far as a species. It was probably already a mistake to climb down from the trees, right? But seriously, what else we should do as humans? I just can't imagine we will sit on our asses because that's a reasonable thing to do.

If the benefits of going to Mars only results in a new generation of humans to fall in love with space, that's already good enough.

Also don't forget all the cool technology that will spin off from this endeavour.

Being able to afford human space exploration is a really good sign since that indicates that we don't have any limiting factors to hold us back. The reverse scenario is way more depressing.

Apple needs to reign in subscriptions. I was looking for a "photo vault" app the other day, basically a place to store photos that is password protected. I didn't need cloud storage, no fancy features, just a place to store photos with a passcode lock.

So I went looking for an app and I must have reviewed close to 50, every single one had a "subscription". Now I get it, apps aren't easy to make and aren't free either, I get paying $2, $3, hell $5 or $10 for the app, but don't make me pay you $2.50 per month for all eternity.

Now I get subscriptions, I happily pay for Netflix, Spotify, and even some lesser known apps that have a subscription. But in every case those apps are providing me with a great value, 1Password is another great example. But to charge for a subscription to just use an offline app? No.

It sounds plausible if we could get around the PR issue of any raise in state income taxes being viewed as an evil. (I do think this would cause the need for higher state taxes, considering how many state and local municipalities struggle to fund education programs through general funds).

It reminds me a bit of the universal healthcare push. It seems very hard to convince people that, yes, their income tax levels may go up, but their overall costs will go down.

It's the same reason dang needs to manually tell people about 'more' in long threads, or repost previous discussion of the same topic. That was the initial design and no one wants to make new changes because of an absurd idealization of that design.

No one wants to rethink old decisions made a long time ago and genuinely wonder if things need to change. Hence people come up with bullshit defences.
