Tried Mastodon for a few months. Maybe I signed onto the wrong instance (Fosstodon) but IME it was mostly a home for short blog-posts ... all over the spectrum. There were far less stupid posts, but little sense of community (unlike HN), little (substantial) discussion. Hoped for more than FOSS Twitter ... more techy, but mostly unsatisfying.
Having lived directly under that flight path, there are exceptions to the curfew, especially for international flights. Even then, the first flight comes in daily at around 6am (or did when I lived there) and worked as a fairly effective alarm for me.
Nowadays batteries are non-removable and sometimes even soldered in. I miss old laptops.
Going on year three with my $25 work shoes. They're leather and steel toe and I do construction.
There might be good reasons to use that breakdown, but I still think referring to people with a household income of $65K as "upper class" is misleading.

There's also something a bit strange with this breakdown. The top 20 percent of households made more than $91,705 [0][1] in 2007. $65K appears to be the top 20 percent of census tracts. That doesn't seem right, though, because you wouldn't expect 20 percent of the population to come from 20 percent of the tracts, unless they're exactly the same size (which tracts are not), so maybe I made a mistake in interpretation.

I went a different way and purchased a 24" monitor which has the hub built in. Support for the standard display ports, USB / USBC and ethernet. I have one single USBC cable connecting to the laptop for power, ethernet and everything else. Seems like this is the way forward for me at least.
I have the TS3. It's been great BUT.... the Mac has not been great with it in the following ways.

(1) I keep my MBP closed. It take 10-30 seconds for it to wake up on keypress. That's so long that I often have no way to tell if it noticed I pressed key.

(2) If XCode is debugging and the screen sleeps then MacOS 12 never recovers unless I disconnect the cable, open the lid, get it wake up on the laptop monitor, and then plug it back in and finally close the lid.

I get why #2 is rare and therefore not fixed but still (T_T)
I’m guilty of this. I follow some smaller channels and I want to encourage them and to juice the algorithm a bit by giving them some engagement beyond a “like”.
USB-C is the connector type, so yes Thunderbolt 4 uses USB-C. The transport standard is USB-[some number], current gen being USB-4 (which is actually based on the TB3 standard).

Meanwhile Google deletes on-topic comments with links after 5 minutes, but lets the spambots through. Actually detecting spam can't be any worse than not doing so. If you don't want to detect spambots this way, why not send possibly-spammy comments to the channel owner's moderation queue instead of memory-holing them?
(General question, I agree with your statement above.)
How is it pro business to ensure that employees -- a major stakeholder in businesses don't want to stay there? This historically, doesn't end well, right?

This is beyond splitting profits; it's driving back to Victorian era, and that did not end well for businesses. Increase in unemployment is just a sign.
> Everybody will be charging at home/work. Other places you'll likely charge are conveniently located places between long distance destinations. Rest areas for example.

It seems like there's a lot of work to be done to scale this up for when electric vehicles get more popular. Many apartment complexes I see have no facilities for this, for example. But electric vehicles are also quite rare in this area.
I didn’t realize that they were just another one of those rebranding companies. I thought people ripped off Anker, rather than the competition and Anker pulling from some other common source.
These are surprisingly hard to find. Not impossible, there just don’t seem to be a lot of them so quality options are in short supply. I had a dell one for a few years I loved. 2x USB3.0 ports in the back hosting 2x external HDD’s, power for my computer, and my monitor, all through one USB-C port. It was brilliant. Damn thing only lasted about 2.5-3yrs though. I was bummed to see it go.
Your point about having pre-determined plan is very valid - although, given China experience building major infrastructure for the road and belt initiative, I think that'd be easily covered.

I think the core disagreement is on the empathy levels, and the need to act sooner rather than later.

At <1% mortality, I think the pandemic response showed we care quite a lot, enough to do many things, but not to the point of sacrificing everything we need normal just for such little lives to save. If it had been 10% or 30%, I think the conclusion would have been very different.

As for the need to start acting now, things take time! The pandemic got us a wonderful vaccine manufacturing and distribution infrastructure, based on brand new technology that drastically cut the time to production. We're lucky we got such a low mortality disease first!

I don't see why global warming would happen as a +6C overnight. If Antartica melt, change the gulf stream, it'll be bad - but not "most, if not all, of humanity dies off". Maybe 1%. Maybe 5%? In any case, enough to create a big fright and get us to prepare an adequate response for the next time!
> What will this look like when it takes a fast charger at least an hour to charge an EV?

It looks like this:

https://www.thedrive.com/news/31274/more-teslas-on-the-road-...

https://thedriven.io/2021/06/30/tesla-owners-line-up-at-supe...

It just means there need to be more chargers. North American charging infrastructure is fractured between the open CCS standard and the propriety Telsa plug. It would be much better if North America standardized on CCS so all EVs can charge at all chargers. At this point it just means Tesla needs to switch to CCS.

Europe has more sensibly standardized on CCS Type 2 Combo. All brands of EV can charge at all chargers on all charging networks. And even Tesla is slowly opening their chargers to other brands.
Yes. I think that its most of the reason why major cities just can't build proper infrastructure. Because it's virtually impossible to get the space for it. Yes moving house is a major annoyance and the government should compensate you for that (some % over market rate). But the annoyance the entire state suffers for decades if the infrastructure isn't built is many orders of magnitude greater.

A single person shouldn't be able to block an airport that will serve millions. I get HN is very supportive of private property above all else, but not everyone thinks the individual comes before the millions of others involved.
In case it isn’t known by everyone, DJI is a Chinese company.

So it would appear this development is conveniently in line with the Beijing Communist Party’s policy of enabling the rape and butchering of Ukraine.

And possibly one of the first real world examples, if intentional (note I didn’t say it was intentional but we don’t have evidence that it’s not, and no need to point out the converse), of the dangers of using technology sourced from a brutal dictatorship.
Yeah. Even if you do go out in a strip mall neighborhood, unless you're in the SGV or something there will be enough of them you can easily hop from one to another on foot (and people do).
> Personal and corporate interests will always trump community interests.

People _are_ responsible for the choices they make _and_ the entities they choose to empower…

Anyhow… I’ve known engineers that have chosen community over themselves…

Regardless, you’re on HN, fortunately you don’t have to make that choice. Instead you can skip FAANG toxicity and join a startup “community” that aligns with your values. Even better you can start your own startup. The payout is also potentially far better than grinding at a soul sucking FAANG position for years.
Not sure why this is getting down-voted. One of the greatest stories of courage and principled behaviour I have heard of is of the US helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson Jr. who intervened in the My Lai massacre, saving children and civilians. He had to interpose his helicopter between the murdering US troops and the civilians. He ordered his crew to shoot US soldiers if they did not stop massacring civilians. His actions were eventually recognized, but at the time he was vilified by US politicians, and many citizens.

Being a part of a society means not only freedoms, but responsibilities. You're responsible for following the law. You're responsible for paying taxes (you know, those things that pay for all the free stuff you're demanding) and sometimes you're responsible for defending the country that guarantees you those freedoms.

The US has a large population and is able to field a military with only volunteers (at the moment. This wasn't always the case, and the draft can be reinstated if necessary). Smaller countries would not be able to have a military at all without mandatory service. Their freedoms would be moot if they were invaded and conquered.

Demanding freedom and shirking responsibility is the act of a child.

There's a saying in the Navy I was told from day 1 at the recruiter's office:

Choose your rate, choose your fate.

Your choice can be the difference between getting out after 4-6 years and easily making six figures, or struggling to find employment at $35k. Not to mention your lifestyle while in and other side effects of your service like PTSD.
Don't give up on the industry. I believe that HP is actually seeding the idea that no printer is better, because I've heard several people resignedly tell me that they're getting an HP because "they're terrible, but every printer is terrible and at least I recognize the brand". Some sort of endgame of marketing perhaps. But reliable and good printers are indeed available to purchase, as long as you can find them. I can recommend the Brother HL-2270DW I purchased nearly a decade ago which is still completely trouble-free (And prints duplex in a small footprint! Delightful.)

Making printers is not trivial. Paper is not as simple as it seems. It's super thin and light which is difficult for machines to handle at speed, and it also comes stacked in a near-solid block from which pieces need to be separated delicately but firmly. The materials science behind the rubber to grip with just the right amount of friction, time after time, accounting for wear and dirt, is mind-boggling. Paper is also noticeably affected by temperature and humidity, both of which change its properties nearly by the minute. This changing nature affects feeding, making the pieces floppier at times and liable to miss the handoff to the next set of rollers, or clingy at others and adhering to a plastic guide for longer than expected. Also the electrostatic properties vary which affects how much charge the drum needs to put on each piece to ensure the correct amount of toner particles adhere -- too much and you get squished smears, too little and the text is faint. And let's not forget the fixing process, which heats the paper to bake the toner into the crevices of the page, which may take twice as long due to extra moisture, but you wouldn't want to burn things if someone is sending through some extra thin paper for some reason. And of course as it's printing the printer is changing all of these variables with its heat and motion, changing the dimensions of every space in its interior. Every printer contains many environmental sensors so they can detect these changes and tweak their control mechanisms for each individual piece of paper. It's kind of akin to baking a perfect baguette every time.

Printers are miniature marvels, and there are still some wizards out there who know how to make them well. But we have to, like, patronize those wizards instead of the goblins of HP or else we will truly be buying our own way into the dismal future of crap that HP creates.

I'm not the same user, though I also prefer no/minimal logos on devices or clothing.

The practical advantage of no logos is that this avoids judgement. People may look down on you for spending so much to get an item from a brand, while other people might look down on you for spending too little. You could just not care about others' judgement, though other people could still treat you differently. Separately, there is the ethical issue of whether one frames visible logos as 'free advertising,' which might not be desirable to do.

The sociology text "Class: A Guide Through the American Status System" by Paul Fussell also explores why some people deliberately wear brands, while others avoid them.

On a (potential over-analysis) of why some people deliberately have branded items: ""Legible clothing" is Alison Lurie's useful term to designate things like T-shirts or caps with messages on them you're supposed to read and admire. [...] When proles assemble to enjoy leisure, they seldom appear in clothing without words on it. As you move up the classes and the understatement principle begins to operate, the words gradually disappear, to be replaced, in the middle and upper- middle classes, by mere emblems, like the Lacoste alligator. Once, ascending further, you've left all such trademarks behind, you may correctly infer that you are entering the purlieus of the upper class itself."

"Brand names today possess a totemistic power to confer distinction on those who wear them. By donning legible clothing you fuse your private identity with external com- mercial success, redeeming your insignificance and becoming, for the moment, somebody. [...] And this need is not the proles' alone. Witness the T-shirts and carryalls stamped with the logo of The New York Review of Books, which convey the point "I read hard books," or printed with portraits of Mozart and Haydn and Beethoven, which assure the world, "I am civilized."

On why some people deliberately avoid logos: "X people are independent-minded, free of anxious regard for popular shibboleths, loose in carriage and demeanor. [...] Since there's no one they think worth impressing by mere appearance, X people tend to dress for themselves alone, which means they dress comfortably, and generally "down." [...] If the Xs ever descend to legible clothing, the words-unlike BUDWEISER or U.S.A. DRINKING TEAM-are original and interesting, although no comment on them is ever expected. Indeed, visibly to notice them would be bad form."

The TL;DR of the whole hypothesis by Fussell is that some people avoid having brands on their physical stuff because they don't want others to see a logo on an item; connect the logo to values of a corporation as part of that corporation's "brand identity"; and make assumptions about that person's personal identity based on that brand identity.
Tech workers can skip FAANG’s 300k salaries and still do fine with 180k at a more ethical company. Those people are responsible.

The people slaving for 50 cents over minimum wage and still being unable to pay rent don’t have much of a choice.
Your comment raises an interesting question: how many places that are currently uninhabitable become habitable in 2100?

I mean, the whole continent of Antarctica is covered in ice. Sure Mexico and North Africa become unbearably hot, but I imagine lots of places actually become more hospitable with global warming. Not that you’ll ever hear the doomsdayers talk about it.

Go look at a world map. How much land mass is at the equator compared to 60 degrees north? Any person that’s serious about examining the effects of climate change will take all effects into account, not just the ones that conjure Mad Max movie scenes.

The UK declared war on Nazi Germany for its invasion of Poland. This time we're standing back, worried of nuclear war. In effect nuclear weapons may have protected Ukraine, and in hindsight the Budapest memorandum may have been a bad deal for them. But nuclear weapons in the hands of a mafia state, has held the world captive while Ukraine is murdered and raped.

Nuclear proliferation will begin again. The Nuclear non-Proliferation Treat is dead. This will significantly increase the chances of a nuclear conflict at some point in humanity's future. The UN and Geneva Conventions institutional system of international law is dissolving. Russia won't be held to account, they cannot be kicked out of the UN. China assisting Russia contrary to the Charter, and India appears poised to take Russia's side as well. I doubt the West has the stomach for the secondary sanctions on China and/or India that would be required to bring them into compliance with international law. No more iphones for years, literally. All kinds of cheap products and services, would take many years to replicate production capacity elsewhere. Prices would sky rocket for a time. The initial shock of this much inflation would mean many lost American jobs. More pressure to automate.

I do not see a very good future because of what Russia has done, and how limited we are to do anything about it.

> Some want a machine that works on the move but can be expanded to bigger screens and such when at certain locations

I wouldn't say "some". Probably 90% of developers I know require exactly this, in fact off the top of my head I can't think of any who don't. Even the permanent, full-remote, no-really-there-is-literally-no-office types want to sit in a different room sometimes or work from a coffee shop.

It's pretty rare to have a "workstation" setup that cannot be moved.
The things people romanticize, especially when it comes to nyc. Nobody wants the stairs blocked in a subway. It ruins everyone's day. A mother with a stroller is a potential hazard on the stairs and it takes almost no effort or time to help her up or down the stairs. And it's a nice thing to do. A win win situation. When you have millions of residents and even more tourists moving about the city every day, you need to be practical. It's why people wait by the side of the doors to let the passengers off the train first before getting on. It's why people stand on the right side of escalators and let the people in a hurry walk on the left. You built up someone helping to carry a stroller up some stairs into a hollywood production.
As has often been said, that dock really is a computer.

I don't think that's a good thing though. No adapter/hub should be this complex IMO. I don't know how the ubiquity of USB got us to this point, it seems worse than before.
I don’t really get this. People actively refuse to read literary classics when they are mandated reading. If we can’t even have a conversation about the brilliance of Shakespeare because people deny it’s worth then how can you blame historians for not proselytizing niche trivia when the audience denies literacy in general. They’d be laughed out of the room, nerds frequently are. The same people feigning interest in Artemisia are the same ones who will tell you education is worthless and a scam.

>>We can make all of the Earth rather like the best parts of New York, or Paris or Sydney: picturesque, clean and comfortable. We can then set about to make the rest of the solar system rather like the Earth.

If we make even 10% of the entire earth's surface at that density, it will be an environmental catastrophe that would likely collapse the food web.

Over half the world's population lives on less than 1% of the land [0]. Only 14% of the land has been modified in any way.

Long before we turn the whole thing into a cityscape, the natural world on which we depend, from the soil biology, to the pollinators, to the apex predators, will all collapse.
