Different functions can expect different arguments. For numbers, they are all the same. That's a difference!

Well, you can argue that there are also different numbers and you can do devision only by some of them. But in fact, if you were to separate them and wrap them to do things differently, then this would get closer to the strategy pattern.
What could possibly make you think that this was a phishing attempt?

> Who am I to say what they should do?

You're a citizen who can argue for it.

Of course ultimately, cities are democracies and can decide to give away money to private sports teams, I'm not gonna dispute their right to do so.

But I'll definitely argue that it's really dumb to do that.
>So what? What does that have to do with anything?

Because my reply was to:

>much more powerful and dangerous than Stalin or Hitler because

Note the "because", the exact same argument stands for Biden, but we wouldn't argue he's more powerful and dangerous than Stalin or Hitler. I was pointing out the weakness in the "because".

I drive another manufacturer's equivalent of the Hyundai you mention, their lowest end car that they actually quit manufacturing, and I am sure the Hyundai is in the same ballpark.

I change the oil about twice a year. Over the past eight years, that has cost me about $480.

I have changed the transmission fluid three times. That has cost me about $140.

I've changed the air filter a couple times...not very often. Let's be generous and call it $40.

Around 120k I replaced the spark plugs. They were weirdly expensive, costing about $100.

I have performed no other maintenance.

I have filled it with gas about once a week. It's a pretty small tank. I'd estimate about $6000-$8000.

Add all that up, pretend electricity is free, and I have still come out way, way, way ahead versus buying a Model 3. I've still spent less than half of what I would have on a Model 3.
Well, the last champions league winner comes from London.

That seems quite a bit different, it's a marketing/PR move that probably doesn't actually cost the government very much. Not sure I'm for that kind of thing, but it's pretty radically different from a single city spending a hundreds of millions on a stadium that they'll see little benefit from.
This is the first time I see a strawman as a website.

FYI modern chains cost less than a fraction of a penny to interact with (Avalanche, Matic, ICP) and some don't even require to pay anything (Ceramic). All these tired complaints are getting addressed and development is moving fast, it's about time the anti-web3 crowd catches up to it.

Also, I'd like the author to make welcome2web2, with popups, paywalls, ads and sudden user-hostile feature removal or UI redesigns meant to maximize profits... although it would be a pointless exercise, as one would just need to browse the web as usual to experience it.
This article is just so rich it could become a book. It reminds me of
Applied Systemantics by Gall.

It's really a list of psychopathologies, misunderstandings, erroneous
thinking and gotchas that lead to poor quality. Among them are
economic fallacies, biases, abusive power relations, cultural malaise,
and FOMO.

In the end I think what the author is saying boils down to Sturgeons
Law, that 99% of everything is rubbish and that it's our fault. We get
the quality we deserve, because we are lazy, entitled and much more
stupid than we think we are. Such is the nature of mass culture and
everything else is an outlier.
> Here in Germany they have metal shutters [...]

Small correction: not metal, these are (mostly) made out of plastic nowadays, sometimes aluminum, and earlier, from wood.

But yes, the effect if they aren't fully closed, is nicely adjustable to limit light without making a room pitch fark.
Reminds me of a thermodynamics/statistical mechanics class homework problem from way back.

Two systems with negative temperatures A and B, where |A| > |B|, are put in contact. Which way does the heat flow?

As the article alludes, it can be easier to think about inverse temperature (which they called coldness), so heat will flow from less cold system B to more cold system A.

In this context, negative epsilon would be the ‘hottest’ temperature, and a negative infinite temperature the same as a positive infinite temperature.
Probably. I don't have ten of these machines, so it is hard to make a general statement.

I mostly meant it as a comment on what the parent said; I could pay four times the price for something and have it last 35 years (which is 15x longer than the blender I had before it) I gladly would.

The fact that I can repair most of it is also a thing I miss in the things I buy today.
Thats not a subsidy, it's advertising. The best way to make a highly

is by imagining it is good.
But housing isn't expensive because it's hard to build. It's expensive because building it isn't allowed. If it all had to be rebuilt, that would be much cheaper than trying to build it under existing conditions.
Such bs. People like to be the inventor of new terms...
"web3" has *NOTHING* to do with 'web'. But hey, web2.0 was a blast in VC world.

If anything, web3 is more like the old internet without the web.. Distributed as in, everybody has a server in their pocket. It's your data, and you decide who has access to it.
This link is inflammatory and does nothing to spark curiosity or useful discussion.

It's essentially the opposite of what HN is for.
It could perhaps be a requirement if there are associated acceptance criteria. Once we know how 'good quality' is measured, it can be written to meet said 'requirement'. It may not be a useful requirement though.
Why? Tons of friends and family of mine have visited those cities, I've never heard of any of them doing it to see their sports teams.
Well if it goes to buildings or paper, then to landfills, I think the carbon sequesters better? Is that correct?

Some of it must sequester, I'd guess most oil is actually dead plants.
Even if you've firewalled you machine, Docker will happily open up the ports to the world, you have to run it with "--iptables=false" to stop it.

As mushyhammer have said in here:

“blame is actually:

- Apple’s for blindly allowing this behavior,

- Best Buy’s for not advertising it,

- T-Mobile’s for allowing this through MNVO’s, and

- Google’s for not knowing that this happens and not allowing unlocks.”
I understand that this is meant as satire but it is not an example of "web3" as intended - blockchain and digital assets are just two (optional) component of a web3 stack;

* can only be accessed through centralized DNS and Cloudflare (with no alternative way to get the front-end, e.g. ipfs, a git repo, or even a zip file with static assets that can be run locally)

* content only hosted on centralized server (unsplash.com / googleusercontent.com).

No sane person (even and especially the most ardent web3 proponents) would be proposing storing raw images on a blockchain for a use-case like this. There are far more suitable decentralized and/or distributed solutions for content distribution.

This is a strawman if I ever saw one.

Hospitals have slightly different constraints.

You - as a patient - often have time to sleep unlike in your daily life. And the hospital is often going to wake you up nonetheless: It is, generally, more important to take your vitals than it is to allow you uninterrupted sleep.

They also need to look out for safety. You have a bunch of patients who are feeling poorly. Some aren't quite sober due to pain medications. All in an unfamiliar setting. A bit of light makes it safer to move around at night if you should need to. Sure, a patient can control lights, but not everyone will be able to. In some areas, you are sharing a room, too.

All that said: For my last hospital stay, the room got as dark as I wanted at night - but I'm not sure that would have been the same during the summer (I can read outside at night during the summer).
Network layering is still important on the cloud but many DevOps appear to miss that.

Logical cloud protection layers - like security groups - are an additional security layer but not a replacement for proper route design.

I read a note quickly about Oxide and Twitter Spaces a while ago, but as I read the keyword Twitter with a mindset of "good for short notes and links to external sources" as I wasn't at all aware of voice capabilities, might be shortfall of using Twitter in the browser..

Thus I now have lots of interesting material to enjoy.
Not just “some areas”, our car got robbed while driving on C/ de Mallorca just 2 blocks from Sagrada Familia, a normally quiet area near the centre.

Guys with knives surrounded the car and stabbed out the tires, pulled out whatever stuff they could get from the backseat.

A couple of days later two guys in hoodies ripped my watch from my wrist after I stepped out to smoke next to a posh Eixample restaurant. Admittedly I’d occasionally heard those stories before, but never had such an issue while wearing the same watch every day for 4 years back when I lived in Barcelona pre-covid.

It might still be quiet and safe in Sarria or Diagonal Mar, but the central areas seem to be worse than even the worst tourist areas were a couple of years ago.

Zoning is different than paying. Apple built a campus the size of a stadium without city paying for it.
If you're going to make the argument "There's other benefit to the society that also need to be considered" then you also have to consider the negatives of a stadium. There's a lot of negative aspects that follow building a stadium, too.

I can't on the top of my head show any figures, but a classmate of mine that lived in the suburb with a stadium, a place everyone considered "the ghetto" because of crime rate, said it wasn't as bad as people said it to be; with the notable exception, and he was very clear about this:

when there's a football match going on in the new stadium close by, every family in the vicinity knew not to let their kids out (or go out on the night) because the city got too unsafe to walk around because of supporters/drunk hooligans trashing places and being violent. (risk of getting robbed, raped, assaulted went notably up every time there was a match that stretched in to the night)

The stadium to the locals felt like a net-negative. Bars and night life owners where happy, but to ordinary citizen it meant more crime, trashed streets, vandalized walls/shops + the immeasurable effect of the stereotype that got attached ("high concentration of immigrants = high crime rate")
it's a bit like saying that with the discovery of threaded cotton, we will soon replace whatever it is we used to make clothing and make everyone pay premium for the new material, only the rich won't end up naked.
Yes some business models are money grabs, no face value add, but to represent the potential of web3 which itself is still unknown is an over simplification and focus on the bad side of what's been happening in the space.

don't brush the valuable uses cases
away. guaranteed immutability, integrity, and even anonymity, all of that through trustless networks that guarantee incentives for the maintainers of those network can't honestly be so narrowly represented.

Fun preview though of what will be mistakenly built on networks such as Eth that is nowhere near scalable for this kind of use case.
This parody is quite funny, but it's actually a take on the micro-transaction model more than web3. Web3 sites could work exactly the same as web2 sites except for the bits people want to own themselves. I don't imagine many people care about owning a Like or a comment.

What's perhaps even more fun to think about is that somewhere in a lofty corner office at Instagram there's someone with a math or compsci PhD doing calculations to figure out exactly how much every Post, Story, Like and comment costs to post on Insta, and precisely how often an advert needs to be displayed to cover that. At least with micro-transactions there's no adverts (in theory I mean, of course there would still be adverts) and it's all very obvious how you're paying.
But... the old internet didn't have any cost-per-interaction associated to it. Not to the consumers anyway. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Oh right, to make money.
Yes, this boring flame bait.
Closed that fugly pop-up with bunch of description and dived head first into this magical land of Web 3.0. Looks like a page with bunch of stock photos. Can we skip it and go straight to v4.0?
It is ok if you don't like sports (which is obvious from your comments about Tokyo, London, and Paris which all have notably big sports cultures), but you don't have to pretend that other people don't find value in it.

A city with a sports team benefits in numerous intangible ways. These teams serve as marketing for a city, both internationally and externally. It is a marker of quality for a city, a stamp of approval. They help contribute to a public identity of a city. There is value in having a communal identity. It unites people and helps them work together on more serious problems.

People also love following the local sports team. Yes, this is entertainment similar to other forms, but it can often be free. You don't need to buy tickets to a game to enjoy it. For example, every soldout NFL game is broadcast for free over-the-air in their local market. Marvel movies don't premier for free on the TV in my home.
>Lol no, a professional sports team is of little "joint benefit to society", at least not of the kind that seriously concerns the government. You may as well argue that the government should be subsidizing new Marvel movies, or Call of Duty, because those are popular forms of entertainment too.

Local governments do subsidize movie production with all sorts of funding and grants. In addition to the local population, many people travel to cities where sports matches, concerts, and other events (e.g., conventions, auto shows, etc.) are held in the stadiums. This also affects other businesses in the city that benefit from the spending done by those that travel into the cities.

>Plenty of high prestige world cities like Tokyo or London or Paris aren't known for their pro sports teams. They seem to suffer little for it.

Ever heard of...
- London: Arsenal, Chelsea, or Tottenham (Soccer), Wimbledon Championships (Tennis)
- Paris: PSG (Soccer), French Open (Tennis)

Every major "high prestige world city" as you describe is a hub for multiple sports and various tournaments that invites both local and international crowds.
The linked page doesn't explain anything at all. It says some incredibly obvious things (remotes can be compromised and you should be prepared for that) and then goes on to say the subject fixes all that, but there's actually no explanation of how it does that or what it does to get there. It's a marketing piece, essentially.
> No, in those regions the will to stay Ukraine outnumbers the will to become a Russian vassal or part of Russia:

From the IRI report:

> The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote, and is representative of the general population by gender, age, region and size of settlement. An additional 1,378 respondents were also surveyed in the Ukrainian-controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

So basically they only surveyed people from Ukraininan controlled areas and the result is they want to stay with Ukraine, what a surprise.

I understand the argument about the Holodomor, but the fact is that at the moment the majority of the population in those area are pro-Russian. If you look at history then, Crimea was historically Russian and only given to Ukraine in 1954 as part of a deal. According to your reasoning you must've been favorable to its annexation then, otherwise this is another example of applying double standards only when convenient.
This is UK so different culture for recruiters I think.
Sorry, yes. They called it Simple Data Service = SDS in the article and then I incorrectly assumed that it's what we now know as S3.
The data is not held hostage by the centralized entities who serve you the UI.

If a website turns their UX user-hostile for whatever reason, one can simply build an alternative UI that interacts directly with the distributed data.
I’m surprised by all the heat around the push notifications API.

Is it really going to mean that much to web apps? I’m assuming it will work pretty much like push notifications on desktop, which is an awful UX.

And why wouldn't we see this on the web3?

For one when was the last time you saw a popup? Probably not within the last 20 years.

Isn't everything in web3 by default behind a paywall?

What prevents a web3 website from changing it's UI?
This is actually cringeworthy and looks like the kind of site that crypto haters would make to try and come up with a strawman argument.

pathetic.
International Racquetball Federation Officially Sanctions Racket:Next
Bonjour le monde!
On the most recent election day in America, voters precisely decided not to pay for stadiums.

> Voters in Denver, Colorado, approved ballot measures on Tuesday authorizing the city government to issue bonds to spruce up parks, renovate homeless shelters, and upgrade public transit.

> They rejected just one portion of Mayor Michael Hancock's five-part, $450 million bond proposal: the one that would have directed $190 million of that borrowing toward the construction of a new multi-use stadium near the city's hip River North neighborhood. While the first four parts of Hancock's proposal won support from at least 60 percent of voters, 58 percent rejected the stadium subsidy, according to The Denver Post's election tracker.

> ...

> Meanwhile, 65 percent of voters in Augusta, Georgia, rejected a similar bond issue that would have seen the city take on debt to fund the construction of a $235 million stadium for a yet-to-be-determined future occupant (possibly a minor league hockey team). The cost of the new stadium was projected to add about $100 to the average property tax bill in the city—all to create "a handful of new permanent jobs," according to The Augusta Chronicle. Who wouldn't vote for that?

> But voters in Augusta might not have the final say on whether their wallets get raided for the project. Brad Usry, vice chairman of the county authority that would run the new stadium, told the Chronicle last month that a "no" vote would "only delay the project so the authority can find other means of funding it."

> So voters were asked to give their approval for the stadium project, but rejecting it apparently doesn't count? Cool democracy you have there, Augusta.

On the other hand, it seems like this deal with the Buffalo Bills is being decided by the governor, rather than a public referendum.

I am not sure that this is how it'll end. Could be common revolt with army support.

Because you did not look. Romania and Argentina for example. You can find others but whatever.
@rosndo @malux85 not sure if you're just trying to scare away another expat or if it's legit :P but if legit that doesn't sound good at all :( any other places in Spain you would recommend? Valencia and some other cities are pretty non-car centric too, no?

Just to mention: The example of french news websites shows that popovers and consent forms are a serious problem for this kind of screenshotting.

Do you have any thoughts on how to best deal with them?

I'd be glad to pay a penny (or a fraction of it) for each comment on HN or whatever and have it fund the network (server hosting, staff, etc). Much better than the current alternative.

Great!

How do you determine quiet-ness? Is it just by the grade of the road, or do you have some kind of data feed for quietitude?

E.g. in the UK, some A-roads can be very quiet despite being technically major, whereas some B-roads or even ungraded can be very busy, e.g. if they are used as shortcuts.
