I’m not trying to suggest that NYC is a utopia. Far from it, I’m very well aware of its shortcomings. But they can be pointed out without resorting to hyperbole.
How is it redistributing wealth? From who to who?
Do you have a source for the Linux part? I’ve never heard that before and would like to know more.
Maybe it doesn't have to be as binary as more vs fewer police? I wish the call wasn't "defund the police" but "create institutional alternatives to militarized policing".

That same heavily-armed force you use to fight druglords doesn't have to be the same force used for routine traffic enforcement, and maybe traffic enforcement shouldn't automatically get people scanned for outstanding warrants and such. A broken brakelight need not escalate into an armed car chase. The same way the fire department is separate from police, maybe there needs to be other institutions for tackling different situations, with academies training for different tactics that don't always involved armed conflict.

Our one-size-fits-all policing might seem relatively harmless for middle-upper-class whites and Asians, but they can be outright deadly if you're black or brown. You never really know if you're just going to get a friendly warning or say the wrong thing and be killed. The way we do policing is relatively unusual in the developed world, and very violent, and encourages both arms races and a severe distrust in certain communities. Just reimplementing that sort of system is going to get us back to the same place... armed enforcers that serve one part of the citizenry at the expense of others.
Giving back to the world is just one way to be satisfied. Being great at something, or even just learning, are often sufficient.

I really wish there was more sort of pro-grass-roots democratic technology in progress, in development. There's so many places where centralization is converting to authoritarianism, & this is still in my view exteemely extremely bad, is gross.

Commotion Wireless[1] is a prime example, of the government stepping in to fund open source, easily deployable mesh communication systems, tbat fly in the face of these crackdowns. Byt it feels like it's been a decade since we dared have vision, sought to provide necessary & adequate technical underpinnings for democratic ideals to survive & flourish. We should fund mesh technogy, we should fund deployable cheap mesh infrastructure, we should promote decentralized media platforms.

There's some other long running works in the area, but few as overtly bootstrap/disconnected yet active & participation oriented; keeping people connecting. Serval project, FreedomBox, Internet-in-a-bix, heck, olpc/xopc/sugar.

We carry around extremely capable communication devices yet almost all use to talk to each other is over centralized infrastructure systems. Starting to get good at wifi-p2p, neighbor awareness, bluetooth systems, & perhaps even diy cellular ought be something society invests in, to ensure the doors to communication cannot be slammed shut. Being able to directly speak to those around us, digitally, is/ought be a simple & baseline virtue of the digital, & it fully could be, if we only bothered to use the hardware we already all own.

Maybe to mail them but not to have them made.
I was curious what this would cost with Cloudflare Video [0].
They charge $1 per 1,000 minutes streamed and $5 per 1,000 minutes stored.

117 videos * 150 average views * 90 average minutes / 1000 = $1,579/month for streaming (!)

(117 videos * 90 average minutes / 1000) * 5 = $50/month for storage

It sounds like these are long form videos, so I just put an average of 90 minutes each.

Still, video streaming seems very expensive.

Lets say these 90 minute videos were stored in multiple formats:

480p - 500MB
720p - 1.5GB
1080p - 3GB

S3 charges $0.023/GB for general storage.

117 videos * 5 gb * 0.023 = $13.455/month for storage

AWS charges $0.05/GB for outbound transfer. Lets say the streams are worst case, 1080p. That's 52.65TB in monthly transfer.

117 videos * 3 gb * 150 average views * 0.05 = $2,632.50/month for transfer (!)

So AWS is about 1/4th the cost for storage, but almost double for transfer. Suffice to say I'm not sure I understand the economics around video streaming.

Do you remember when you were a child and something held your fascination so tightly and deeply that you snapped out of a trance many hours later?

Look for that thing that you can dive into. Then block out the other things. Noise cancelling headphones, blocked out calendar, phone on silent, meal prep, wfh. Treat your time and attention as a limit and precious resource. Agency is a wonderful thing.
I feel that you are possibly jumping to conclusions as to what constitutes a "good life" versus a "ruined life". If people who have "small" comfort zones need support to move outside of them.

Throwing categories such as avoidance, procrastination, delusion, and drug addiction into the same group leads me to believe that you might not understand what these supports look like.
> Obviously, physics counts as "true" science.

I am not a scientist, but I worked as a R&D engineer and it's my understanding that in a lot of physic fields there is a need for empiric corrections.

It may be the case of semiconductors design if I recall correctly, but it happens also in other fields. Maybe GPS anomalies is a good example:

I think Floyd-Steinberg could probably allow you to have multiple pixels per emoji.
I went to watch the interview just because of this comment, thinking "of course it has to be more than just Indian singing," and it turns out it was a variation on that theme. Apparently it's called Konnakol. I've heard the style, but I wasn't familiar with the name until now.

As you said, though, everyone has blind spots. The world is vast, and there's a lot to miss. I have to wonder why the woman who did the singing never told Hans Zimmer what it was, or why he didn't ask, since the situation implies one of those two.
I did say FAANG :)

Believe it or not this is just for security data. But that fact combined with SOA leads to lots of logs. (5Pbs is the uncompressed amount, but we decompress incoming data, then ETL).

Agreed, and not sure why the early downvote wave you experienced there. I am surprised to see this sort of sentiment downvoted on HN.
Yeah, absolutely. Personally, when I zoom out, and look at the trends of engineering in general: simpler modular systems that compose well together vs bespoke solutions, RISC-V precisely follows the trend. Reduce global state. Make it easier (for humans and algos) to reason about control flow. Have a simple core with optional extensions. This all makes building multi-core solutions way simpler. We are fast running out of transistor density improvements. But we are getting way better at building coprocessors. There's clear value in "doing more simple things in parallel".
Can you tap a link to a torrent and watch the video it contains on your phone? If the answer is “no” then I think this is the answer to your question.
Every single engineering items were resolved by a well written design doc (ERD). 2-3 Google hangouts were enough to get alignment across team members.
Did China nourish intellectuals? There is a famous Dutch 17th century painting of scientists cutting into corpses to find out how the human body works. This never happened outside Europe until centuries later for various religious and moral reasons.

> “Likewise, fringe movements in the sciences have long been a part of American society, although, to be sure, there has been a decided uptick over the past few decades. Consider the Flat Earth theory. Despite what you may have heard, Christopher Columbus did not discover that Earth was round; this fact was known since antiquity. (Plato wrote about it.) The notion that Columbus, one of the few knowledgeable mariners who did not quite believe it was a sphere (he thought it was egg-shaped), “discovered” its shape was a creation of the writer Washington Irving, who sought to assign some scientific legitimacy to what was otherwise a colonialist land grab. [5] Yet in the past decade, Flat Earth theory has achieved a certain currency, fueled by YouTube videos and an appetite for contrarian thinking, hyperskepticism, and a yearning for community. [6]”

That last sentence suggests intrinsic motivation. Sometimes there may also be a business motivation (e.g., economics of the infotainment industry).

> If I could just code without being a slave to a scrum master or being product micromanaged.. I would never leave the industry.

My current job has zero planning meetings and a standup twice a week with 20 people attending that lasts about 7 minutes on average; standup is literally "what are you working on and are you blocked?". If the person rambles in standup, our boss cuts them off and has the next person go. It's been this way for at least a year and a half (when I started). We're given wire-frames or high-level designs of what needs to be built and the target goal date. Developers are then left to code with nearly full autonomy. We always deliver the product early. I've worked in so very many places over the last decade and a half - from huge corporations to small startups - and if all of them took this approach, they would've increased their productivity at least 10-fold.
I have a 30 year old (how did that happen!?) motorcycle. It's not a "sport" bike (UJC with good ergos) but it does have a high (10.5:1) compression engine (drive train is borrowed from a different bike by the same manufacturer, lower compression). (They should have upgraded some other things, like the clutch springs; we've all had to shim them at some point.)

I remember when ethanol fuel came out.

* I no longer needed to run premium in it unless it was really hot outside, plus was fine.

* I actually get better highway mileage with the ethanol fuel.

* It warms up better / faster when it's cold if I run regular.

“I suppose for those who consciously or subconsciously know they're guilty of sin, the idea of annihilation is far preferable to facing judgment for their sins in the past, so I can see how atheism would be an attractive option, ultimate meaninglessness notwithstanding.”

This kind of quite literally holier-than-thou pretension is a large reason why, despite being raised religious, I want nothing to do with it today. Especially Christianity.
Wouldn't you expect that number of 1% for essentially any content uploading. Where out of every group of users, 80% don't interact at all, another 19% only comment, and the last 1% are the only ones that do anything more than comment?
The discussion with Linus is in the autograph coming out when he passed away.
She makes around $25k a month from her videos, so paying $3.1k for hosting doesn't seem like an unusual cost. However, it's obvious that she derives no benefit from being able to control her own branding or whatever value-add that vimeo provides over youtube so putting it on an ad-supported platform like youtube probably just makes more sense for her.
The example is overly simplified.

Imagine if it was a 24-slice pizza. The argument is that the "original" 6 slices should be divided according to the original preferences of 4 and 2, and the "extra" 18 slices should be divided evenly into 9 and 9.
I'm reminded of this article from 2020 [1]:

>The United States printed more money in June than in the first two centuries after its founding. Last month the U.S. budget deficit — $864 billion — was larger than the total debt incurred from 1776 through the end of 1979.

and this is a good graph of our money supply (M1) [2]

The inflation is here to stay. And it will only get worse. Fed's recent 25-basis point rate hike won't do anything to curtail the inflation.

Thanks, I was wondering about Java in the context of desktop Firefox. I think at least the latest Firefox on Android is mostly Kotlin and uses Gecko components which might use some glue Java code.
Everything is done on device. Which is different than others who choose to do scanning on their servers.

This sounds kinda like me except i’m you when i’m 30, coding full-time and writing fiction on the side because it doesn’t pay. I’m hoping to turn writing fiction and non-fiction into a part-time job eventually, and maybe write some technical books along the way. Before working as a dev, i worked for a media company writing a bunch of shit and i hated it/felt like high school writing assignments with no autonomy, so i decided to protect that passion and turn my coding hobby into a full-time job. My goal is to have the freedom one day to write what i want and make some money doing. It makes sense to me to get good at writing and coding, and combine those things eventually. Just gotta be careful not to spend too much time coding.

There's still a limit to how many instructions you can decode and dispatch every cycle, even with zero dependencies. There's also definitely dependencies in the example where you're computing a memory address to access a value.

Alternatively, America simply lacks obvious large scale investments to make.

High speed rail seems like a winner, but is it? We have a very efficient national train network for goods and both an interstate highway system and airlines. As a practical matter HSR is unlikely to change much and is really expensive to build and maintain.

Similarly rural high speed internet is pushed as a must have, but 5G and Starlink are much cheaper solutions to the same problems. Getting wired high speed internet to central Alaska for example is extremely expensive and probably not worth it. Where to draw this line in pure economic terms probably isn’t exactly where telecom companies picked, but there wasn’t a clearly better option.

Bridges and Dams have similarly been added to all the obvious locations. Should we build X is again a really difficult choice.

Sorry to not answer your question, but if possible you could also consider basically any Canadian school that offers a CS degree. I don't think any would be considered elite, certainly not by cost or entry criteria, and like I say, they are all "good", even if there is some variation.

Better to just say that you can't make free lunches out of money. The standard can't-eat-money point.

There ARE such things as free lunches, and the "no free lunch" quip is a meme that serves as propaganda for the idea that everything in life should have a price (and if it doesn't, it means the price is hidden). That's just not true. Some things in life are abundant and need no pricing and have nothing hidden.

To those controlling interest rates from those who don't have any access to low risk investments.
What terrible reporting. This was an important issue for me (for my work) about a decade ago and even back then the answer was clear. The HN denizen would call it Conway’s law.

In a big box company the local management (i.e. store manager/regional manager) is responsible for op ex. A panel installation is cap ex which is a corporate responsibility (CFO/Treasury). The cap ex of panel installation will offset the energy op ex, but the person who pays the latter has no authority for the former.

discussions back then with Wal Mart, Target, Costco made this clear. IKEA has a different corporate structure. Big companies like Apple, Meta etc are organized differently and see it as a strategic (/Marketing) initiative, as well as not having the big box or warehouse infrastructure.

This is one of the things that killed Solyndra (just one of).

Mind boggling that the reporter centered their discussion around an NGO (that probably doesn’t even think this way) and so never asked the useful questions of the companies they talked to.

Funny that you mentioned Stripe. IIRC the Subscriptions feature can help with the recurrent payment and subscription management out of the box pretty well.

The user management can be a bit tricky through, but I think using their customer portal is also an option, I believed Stripe support enough basic function like CRUD subscription plan, payment method, billing. But this will be highly depended on your use-case.

Maybe you should also consider using the subscription webhooks with your Rust backend for more custom logic.
I had no idea you could actually use a credit card to verify age. I thought that was nothing but a scam employed by fraudulent cam/hookup sites and catfishers. Google probably shouldn't train people that this is a normal thing to do.

I have not made the argument because I could not handily find the source. But for the curious that set of knowledge comes from @peterzeihan tweet thread from few years ago. I am not going to debate this further as people here really want to believe in Solar and Wind being panacea, and I sympathize with them. Heck, I have put a 10kw solar plant on my roof 9 years ago.
At the scale I presume Vimeo operates at, for US/EU CDN traffic they should be under 1 cent per gigabyte transferred.

Perhaps a bit more since it requires more work to obtain competitive pricing from Akamai, and Akamai AMD is a value added service and not just the bulk data CDN.
Most b2b gear will play well with a proxy server, and that will allow you to explicitly mitm everything going to the internet. Just don't allow anything else out.

One annoying problem is certificate pinning, if you have deices that join your network and others, but it's doable.

The real problem is devices sold to consumers that don't allow you to install custom certs or allow you to configure a proxy. There should probably be a law that says every network device should have a means for the owner to decrypt the traffic on the fly.
I don't understand your point. The US may not be old, but European and other histories are taught. Meanwhile, how much impact do the war of the three kingdoms have on modern China?
Inflation makes saving money a losing proposition because it literally rots away in your bank account. How is some one supposed to save for college, a house or to start a business if they are constantly losing money?

Meanwhile rich people don't care because their immense wealth lets them ride out inflation easily. In fact, in some situations it may be to their advantage because the value of other assets they hold (real estate, metals, art, etc) often increase in value during inflation.
I haven't tried it for replacing TLS certificates, but you do not need a rooted phone to mess with 3rd party apps on android. You can unpack an APK and re-sign it using your own key, allowing you to make whatever modifications to the APK you want. In addition to making whatever changes you want to directly (such as just replacing the pinned certificates), you can update the manifest to set the android:debuggable flag to true, which allows you to access and modify the apps private files through ADB.

The main downside of this approach is you cannot do an in-place replacement of already installed app, as your version is signed by a different key. You need to uninstall the previous version first, causing you to lose existing app data. At one point, I was able to work around this using Android's backup feature, but I never bothered to retain data since then since it was too much of a hassle and turned out not to matter that much for any of the apps I was playing with.
"Introvert" seems to be another. The number of outgoing co-workers I meet who describe themselves as introverts has been increasing in the past few years.
In fact it does the opposite, it dilutes the existing value.

From whoever is furthest to money creation to whoever is closest.

Ever wonder why record stock buybacks and record ceo pay are happening right when QE is happening?

Why stock markets and PE ratios are at record highs? Why there are record amounts being invested by VCs? Why commodity prices have been rising?

It’s not because of evil capitalism. It’s because those people are closest to where money creation happens. The 1% aren’t getting richer because of the exploitative nature of capitalism, but because they have access to new money.
