> Good worthwhile valuable things were actually created on the web in the late nineties.

And good worthwhile things are being created in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space now. Likewise, there was a lot of useless bullshit on the Web in the 90's, and a lot of useless bullshit in the blockchain space today. And likewise, there were a lot of pre-Web "experts" making the Web out to be some passing fad due to all the bullshit, and there are a lot of pre-blockchain "experts" making blockchains/cryptocurrency out to be some passing fad due to all the bullshit - in both cases ignoring the potential, only to find themselves and their opinions irrelevant.

I don't know whether blockchains are going to end up being as fundamental to the world economy in the coming decades as the World Wide Web is today, but I do know that history repeats itself, and I ain't arrogant enough to assume this to be some exception.
> I don't see how regulating algorithms and AI could affect those institutional injustices.

Because this is a dangerous technology which has only proven, again and again, to be unreliable, unethical, inaccurate, and is EASILY used by the people most likely to abuse it.

The point is not that the dutch tax office is corrupt, it is that corrupt individuals and entities are likely, and have used, this for nefarious, foul purposes. Regulating and/or banning its use is only one of many avenues to attempt to safeguard (against) this tech.
> If this is true, then why is the government collecting any taxes at all? If any amount of debt is sustainable, I am livid that I have to work for the government 4 months/year.

If government services were paid for only by government borrowing instead of taxation, you'd still be "working for the government" for some share of your efforts. It would show up as increased inflation instead. (I think this "invisible taxation" would feel like a psychologically better deal to some people, even if everyone was worse off.)

It wouldn't be progressive as in "progressive taxation" any more. Removing progressive taxation has many effects, generally harming the poor more than than the rich and widening the gap between rich and poor, and as you note, general inflation has this effect as well.

So perhaps it's better for the government to collect taxes after all.

My understanding (happy to be corrected) is that with skills you can sail into and with the wind, at the cost of how much leeway you lose sailing into the wind.

Which means for exploration, you can go 1/3 to 1/2 the distance of your food "out" as long as you wear the risk of the sums going wrong "back"

The oceans have strong prevailing wind and wave patterns. I think this played to the compass-less navigation (stars and planets help) model: you did know "which way was up" for a single frame of reference view.

So it was awesome, but also awesome engineering of cost-optimisation.

I think it came down to successive waves of exploration. You do the limit of the craft, then you do a flotilla of craft with more stores, then you do portage of stores to intermediate places or send on a sub-team and eventually you "arrive" somewhere you know the cost of getting to, within acceptable water-limited margins of error.

Kon Tiki gets a bad rap, but some things they found workable like extracting drinkable non-salty water from fish (swim bladders? lymph system?) and the sustainability of sweet water in coconuts, go to how long you can go "out" for that magical 1/3 to 1/2 of your stores.

How do you know it was for nothing? Do you have some insider info on the decision?
Internally, we've been replacing Draft.js with Lexical. To be clear though, they're different projects with little API compatibility. We hope to add some docs explaining how we've approached our upgrade path in the future.

To expand on this further, I'll pull this from another HN thread:

Draft.js was built a long time ago when many of the concerns around making contentEditable work stemmed from patching browser-support. Today, it's nowhere near as bad. We can leverage modern events and we can try and tackle things from a different point of view.
One of the core things we've tried to do is make the developer experience and performance better. DraftJS pulled in a lot of JavaScript and much of it was hard to reason with because of the lack of types. ImmutableJS just didn't scale how we would have liked it to, and from our experience, developers didn't really like using it all that much. DraftJS also had a block based approach, which quickly fell apart when you wanted to do something more complex. Not to mention compatibility with React 18+ and the countless issues with having to depend on ReactDOM for rendering when fighting with browser extensions that want to take over control of the DOM from Draft.

With these things in mind, we looked at how we could keep the good ideas from Draft, Slate, ProseMirror and also invent some new ideas of our own. Lexical doesn't have any dependencies, so you can use it with Svelte or Solid (once their bindings have been created), or any other framework of your choice. Lexical also doesn't need ImmutableJS, which means the APIs are fully typed in Flow and TypeScript, reducing issues. Lexical is also around 22kb gzip+min, so it's far smaller than Draft. Typing performance in our testing is around 30-70% faster compared to Draft.
You did, when you described something as "wrong".

I did, before you, when I did the same thing, but it's not like you disagreed with the premise.

> It seems very improbable

This is I think the critical point.

It’s one of the core assumption that is correct for us to have in our day to day interactions with other real people, and we also are able to adjust the probability levels looking at the person or the context, and follow up depending on the reaction to our answer.

None of that applies to Google Search [0], and we are fed with “most probable” results without qualifiers, little to no sensible adjustments, and very little control or opt out options.

Billions of people use Search every day, at these scales what is “improbable” actually happens millions of times, and I feel too many people are willing to throw the odd ones out under the bus, even if the current situation isn’t perfect either for the 90 part of the 10/90 split.

[0] search personalization based on logged in profile could be used, but in practice they only apply that to very crude adjustments like country, language and frequent searches.
Talking about higher level applications, BBC Science in Action [1] interviewed Prof John McGeehan of the Centre for Enzyme Innovation at Portsmouth University working on Bacteria breaking down Plastic in landfills.

Climate change yes, but climate change is a bipartisan issue, despite what corrupt politicians and media corporations would have you think. The majority of all voters want more action on climate change. It is presented as a partisan issue to give politicians an excuse for their inaction on behalf of their owners, while laying the blame on the common people -- privatize profit and socialize responsibility, as usual.

Now what would be great is if he had proactively spoken out against war, coups, etc., and admitted he was wrong and those wars were failures. Who knows, he may even have got a few people across the aisle to reconsider their pro intervention stance and prevented much horror and tragedy and further destruction of the west's moral standing caused by subsequent administrations.

Although I guess he's just as deep in it with the war industry too.
Doom/Build engine games/Quake/Unreal/Half-Life1&2 are the best games for modding. Engine is relatively simple, tons of tutorials and high quality examples, and a steady fan base.

Yep, as a fellow game developer (programmer) I had similar concerns... Until recently.

Unity had the issue of the high skill floor of creating meshes for scenes until recently. You can now build reasonable looking unity scenes using a process akin to Hammer and QERadiant; albeit still inferior to those, IMHO.

There's also the resurgence of interest in crunchy arcade shooters, using classic engines no less, which is drawing attention to tools like DoomBuilder and TrenchBroom.

Annnd VR tools are making complex mesh building a lot more accessible by making it a lot more intuitive.

Are you maintaining a per item price list? Is is generic or updated after each trip to the market?

0.25 per egg assumed the dozen cost $3 but what happens when I go to a value brand and my cost is $2 or the fancy $5 dozen eggs. Does the roommate have to update the price per item for everything they buy?

How do things like a bag of chips work? Cost per weight probably makes the most sense but the overhead of such a system seems enormous.

Also, what happens when your roommate gets mad at you because they bought those eggs for a specific meal they planned on cooking for dinner and now have to go to the store for more or change their plan? This is the main reason I most had a no sharing rule with my roommates.

Do you suggest he should follow the example of more recent politicians and use his bully pulpit to tell the general population to go buy a $50k electric car, when many working families live paycheck to paycheck, and are now having to decide between whether to put food on the table or fuel in their tank?

It never appeared to be the man's style; he pretty much went underground after leaving office from what I remember. Environmentalism is expensive. It requires considerable capital investment and most individuals just don't have the means. Even with tax breaks and incentives, these things are still out of reach for much of the working class. Politicians are patronizing people who can't afford a new ICE vehicle, let alone an EV.

> on a practical level it is easier, for example, to flee a hostile country with Bitcoin

This feels like something that could be proven given the current climate. How many refugees from the multitude of currently-invaded countries are carrying their assets as bitcoins vs. traditional items of value and cash?

Given the tremendous volatility of a bitcoin investment, I doubt many people outside of the upper middle class have bitcoins to begin with, and I really doubt they'd buy bitcoins with what wealth they have access to before fleeing (traditional wisdom says that purchasing items with inherent value that are easy to carry).

But again, that's something that could be proven with the ledger. It would be a good story if the evidence backed it up.
Your analysis assumes a zero-sum situation but this simply isn't the case.

The intersection of labor and capital is enormously mutually beneficial.

Regarding fair allocations of proceeds, one could just as easily argue that labor is exploiting capital, and that capital should take a greater share of profits. In fact, both outcomes are certainly, demonstrably true in different scenarios. In a chapter 11 bankruptcy, capital is lost while wages remain protected.

Your argument is in regard to the average outcome, and as such it glosses over the inherent give and take, risk and reward, present in a variable and chaotic -- but undeniably mutually beneficial -- system.
If there was a real system of international law, I'd have more sympathy for this position. But there isn't.

Sanctions always involve balancing interests, and it's worth calling out that they have costs even when we believe we're right. But the balance of interests for all of humanity strongly favors sanctioning the DPRK.
To be honest I'm at a bit of a loss too. My speculation is that since they went all-in on microservices and utilizing various AWS services (something that was underway when I worked there) their data stores have become very much more disparate.

For example, they have the main PostgreSQL data store. Surely that's easy to restore. But the users in that DB have a "foreign key" (in a logical sense, not physical) to the Identity service. This is a real life example that occurred while I was there. So now we have a mixture of multi and single tenancy. So perhaps the identity records are also tied to this app ID and deletes were propagated to that service. And perhaps there is an SQS queue and a serverless function to handle, say, outgoing mail from Jira. Where does this data go? I dunno maybe some Go-powered microservice with its own DocumentDB store. Do deletes propagate here too? Who knows. You can see how this gets complicated and how issues multiply with more services.

Again, this is only speculation. But "decomposing the monolith" was a big deal and it was coming from the top.
Our entire legal system is built on the exercise of line drawing. Where those lines are drawn is the result of debate and compromise. It's never perfect, but it's better than not having any lines at all.

Risk of confusion is the overall standard but that doesn't always mean what you think it does. In a case where it's two products competing in the same market (i.e. two web frameworks, assuming that someone develops this into an actual framework), similarity of the marks is usually enough to establish risk of confusion.

And generally, risk of confusion doesn't just mean that people will literally confuse the two products as identical. It's also about the risk that someone would think there is an affiliation or other connection between the two products.

Finally, this would not be trade dress. It's about similarity of the product name, so just a plain trademark.
Given a fair coin:

The odds of getting 12 Heads in a row is quite low.

The odds of getting 12 Heads in a row when you’ve already observed 11 coin flips land heads up is 50%.

Knowing that the odds of 12 Heads in a row is low, that you’ve seen 11 Heads in a row, and that - if you observe the next flip land heads up - you’ll have observed something quite rare, doesn’t influence the next coin flip.

Who is this Kevin from DSLReport?
Thank you. Fair enough, there may be an interesting discussion lurking here somewhere about GPU architectures and rendering modes. However, Apple has been using this approach since the A11, so it is not new information. The OP assertion that Apple helped the WOW devs is probably also specious, since the app may have already been optimized (or close to it) for the architecture if they had been following Apple's GPU/Metal programming advice for the last few years. Caches always have limits and abusing those limits often has punitive results.

I host a simple API that converts web pages to markdown files using headless browsers and save them into my cloud storage. I can now read the pages offline and free from clutter using a simple markdown viewer or use my own personal website to read them online.

I also have an email address that converts the mails received in it and turn them to markdown files using the same headless browser mechanism. Now my local text editor can sort of act as a mail inbox of its own.

It is a hard task, for sure! But without any tests to convey your intent as a programmer, RbSyn also has no way of knowing what you intended a method's behavior to be.

The running thread here is if you would have written a method and some tests to check that you indeed wrote the method correctly, RbSyn will automate the task of writing the method for you. In other words, it is just like test driven development, where the writing the code part is automated.

By manual audit, I meant you can verify if you need more tests to capture your intended behavior or just take a shorter route and update the synthesized code directly without any new tests for the newly added behavior. One could argue the latter is bad programming practice.
> The Bay area numbers I gave are from 2021 source included.

That's household income. But sure, put me in the top 20% instead of the top 10%. Still incredibly ridiculous that an 80th percentile earner cannot afford a basic home.

> Here are some current prices

What you linked are apartments/townhomes. These have much higher HOA fees and are priced accordingly. The sticker price seems lower but the monthly payments end up the same as more expensive SFHs. To boot, most of them are really small - everything over 1500 sqft is over 1.3M which is ridiculous. So no, that's not really more affordable. Density doesn't mean everyone lives in a shoebox, it means building taller so the same land can fit 5x more people.

> The 760 one seems within reach

Again, if a 800sqft apartment that looks like it was built 70 years ago is all that's within reach of an 80th percentile household then you need to re-evaluate housing policy.

> The prices are similiar around the world. 1.5-1.8 is the average house price in Toronto

No, it's only similar in places with similarly dysfunctional real estate markets and NIMBYism as CA. Toronto and Vancouver famously have terrible SFH zoning policies. When you look at places like Atlanta, Miami, Austin, Chicago, etc. they are nowhere near the levels seen in CA.

> If New York/NJ is under valued and you can get a similiar home for less I would probably make the move

Or I can keep voting against NIMBYs and vote for densifying the Bay.
