where is the vitriol coming from? where are these "accusations?" I'm simply asking why you consider tobacco to be so specifically evil when compared to other vices to the point where you consider banning it to be something that should definitely be done. this is a question I always ask whenever someone declares that something that is currently not banned, should be banned, for the good of society. your adverse reaction to such discussion confuses me greatly.
This is not a real last mile solution either. We once had the almost the same level of modularity by detaching cars in motion and letting them coast..

Really this is more about not messing with the existing mix of safety and liability defenses used to keep the current situation on the current tracks. These systems have to be sufficiently different because we aren't going to do a flag day to full automation.

Ah OK just the author's 2020 post. Thanks!
You break out a poll to cast a group as fringe. Other people bring up other polls (more recent ones) to counter that argument, and then you shift to a different line of evidence citing "historical trends." Please, take this advice to heart, you are clearly trying to justify a conclusion with whatever evidence you can grab at hand. Take a step back and ask yourself if tribal loyalty is clouding your judgement.

We are all allowed (at least in the United States) to change our minds on things, but we can get in our own way. Lots of people seem to be changing their minds these days based on recognizing that their trust in some institution, process, or brand was misplaced. That might be you in a little while, and if it is, don't hate who you once were or once believed. Here's wishing you a good journey on your search for truth.

First of all, why would the Mac be a competitor platform? MS always has supported the Mac with their software.

Then, it could be strategic. Consider the scenario in which the ARM based chips maintain a steady advantage vs. the x86-based chips. Microsoft then certainly wants to have a share of that market on Windows and not leave it exclusively to Mac OS. Considering how that depends on the availabilty of native ARM in software, they probably want to run on the one nice ARM implementation available on the desktop right now.
It’s becoming increasingly inconvenient for the minority to control the majority in this country. This shift has been discussed for decades. I would expect more “dumb” to come.

Immigrants bring Covid so we need to control the border, but Covid is a conspiracy. My candidates won on a ballot where my candidate that lost on the same ballot was cheated. The democratic presidents showed weakness to Putin, but somehow the insurrection does not.

Most Americans are unprepared to compete against others who view life objectively and earned advanced degrees and practice introspection. The math books are threatening. Teachers shouldn’t teach grade schoolers subjects taken from graduate courses (CRT). There is no way this doesn’t backfire. Too many contradictions to enumerate.
You should tell that to corp IT where I work. My macbook fans have been running non-stop all week with the machine doing God only knows what while all I have open is webex, outlook, and a few VTE windows.
The point is not mostly about economic axis, but the cultural one.

In the economic axis, you could argue that at least a certain part of the Republicans has moved to the left. The emergence of the New Right [1][2] speaks to that. Or Trump's shtick of being against "unfair" free-trade deals. Or that Republicans are now the party of the working class.

Elaborating on 3/4: the domain experts don't need to be compiler experts too.

There are always going to be more numeric-like types (int, float, complex, bigint, rational, symbolic-comp types etc.). Numeric vectors that act like numbers are useful (see: numpy), and trying to stick those all into the language is far harder than allowing extensibility.
What do the survivors deal with though? I recently had an injury that required surgery and occupational therapy. My entire limb was a sad, useless appendage for months mostly due to immobility and how it reacted to pain. I can’t imagine the mountain one must surmount to get back to even 25% of their pre illness self. I was down to 15% use by the time my OT started. And 6 months later it still is a daily task to keep improving (much better now though).

It must take an incredible toll and on already sick body.
I may have missed the nuance in the article, but in Florida it seems they found a way to do that.
So the reason for the censorship is they read the entire article and saw nothing "new" about something you "all know is true"? That's indeed a "new" way to discourage reasoned discussions.
"M1 class" simply means 5nm technology node.

Those with early access to a new node will always have the wow-factor, but they are not necessarily better than the rest.
All economic incentives for the past 20+ years have been away from "personal" computing because people flatly refuse to pay for software but for whatever reason have less aversion to paying for services.

I have to repeat just to emphasize how irrational this is.

People will refuse to pay $50 once for software but will happily pay $20-$50 per month for a service that offers less performance, no privacy, worse security, no continuity if you stop using it, fuzzy ownership of your own data, and a system that utterly vaporizes if the company goes away.

The aversion to paying for software is intense too. People will happily sign up for SaaS but will go through insane contortions to pirate software or just flatly refuse to use it if it's not capital-F FOSS. Even OSS that you pay for is not okay. The most important thing about FOSS is not freedom, openness, or source, but "free" as in beer... but this same aversion to paying does not transfer to services.

People will also pay $10+ dollars for a single cup of coffee at Starbucks every day. But god forbid they pay that much once for an app they use every day.

Markets are incredibly irrational.

That's only because your community refuses to tax the visitors.

Discussion from yesterday on the same topic from the same author: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31191700

This is in response to that post from yesterday. It's worth flagging this one, or else it's going to be an infinite loop of knee jerk reactions. We can do without these.
It is legal. or the consequences are non-existent. Read the desired state's LLC statutes. Pick a state with the desired LLC statutes.
> They don't allow you to perform work within the jurisdiction. But no one cares if you're working remotely, and I'm not aware of any tourism visas that preclude it.

Working in the jurisdiction is working in the jurisdiction no matter where the person paying you or your usual place of work (if such thing even exists) is.

If you are in the jurisdiction, doing labor for pay (regardless of where the pay comes from), you are working in the jurisdiction.
I think I get what you're trying to say - that we haven't yet found a way to put our important ideas into a medium that's entertaining for us to understand, so we fall back on simpler things like sound bites and internet memes. Like, virology is hard and confusing and scary, but Elon Musk smoked weed once on camera so we'll pay attention to that instead.

Go is great until you need to interface with a C library via cgo then you are in a world of pain with segfaults and the general mismatch between goroutines and C's ideas about concurrency.
In a world where people work less and less and participate in culture more and more it only makes sense that CEOs become essentially influencers, self-promoters and politicians.

The stock price isn't seen as a KPI anymore, back in the days businessmen would make sure the company would sell quality products and services in the real world and then the stock price going up was just a mere consequence of that.

Nowdays it's all about transforming the company into a mission, a political movement or an outright cult. The stock is seen as a something to sell and if you can do so without any product sold in the real world then it's so much better because as a CEO you managed to efficiently skip a very labor-intensive and capital-intensive process to get to what you really want: Market Cap glory.

It used to be that corporate America had a certain arrogance of being superior to politics, religion and cults. People who resorted to that were singled out as desperate and it was the hint that their company was about to go under.

Nowadays it's the opposite: CEOs and companies which don't shitpost, don't talk politics and don't try to recruit people in their cults are left behind.

It's "fake it till' you make it" on an unprecedented level out there. And the worst offender is the one is worshipped the most on here, irony because game should recognize game.

I think if we coldly examine the moves like in a chess game, he's doing all the right things to be successful in this environment.

As I said when the population consumes culture at an unprecedented rate, you gotta become culture to be relevant. Hate the game, not the player.
Who cares if it is a legitimate criticism and makes unique points in both cases (also, they were both written two years apart!)? Some call it "inflammatory" but it has scientific and critical value nonetheless.
I think the 'train' is also on fire just more insulated from the burning and it'll be a bit more comfortable until your car is engulfed and disconnected. IMO the beginning of Walkaway or maybe After the Revolution is a reasonable picture of what the future will look like economically with the gap between the rich and the rest of the world continuing to widen and life outside of that becoming increasingly tenuous. I'm not bullish on major changes happening that manage to address the causes of that. How well things stay glued together like in Walkaway or we get an explosive fracturing like After the Revolution is anyone's guess.
> “Essential workers” are pretty fucking pissed millions sat on their ass with no clue how to feed or care for themselves. They are not showing the same allegiance to shit jobs and moving on.

They never had allegiance, they didn't leave shit jobs because of fear and the fact that moving between 2 minimum wage jobs likely wouldn't improve their circumstances. People are switching jobs because its an option now where it wasn't before and it's a good way to make more money. Do you honestly believe that pre-covid people worked at McDonalds because of their desire to provide food to people?

> We engineered away stability for JIT, covid came along and proved to many we live in a Banana Republic exporting memes of exceptionalism, while most people can’t grow a potato.

This is progress. Do you believe a world where everyone grows their own crops to feed themselves is an improvement? People don't grow potatoes because it is a waste of their time when you can buy a giant bag of them for next to nothing. Something only possible because of the modern JIT economy. What you call stability is actually inefficiency and waste in disguise.

That's the clearest definition of fascism I've ever heard. Where's it from?
> NetzDG makes very specific restrictions - such as prohibitive (up to €50 million) fines if something claimed to be illegal

That is wrong. Merely, NetzDG imposes an obligation on specific social network providers to establish an "effective and transparent process" to deal with complaints about unlawful content. Without prescribing a specific process in itself, it specifies certain functional requirements. Among them, this process has to ensure that "blatantly illegal content" is being removed within 24 hours, unless the social network provider has agreed on a longer timespan with the law enforcement agency.

Any fines the NetzDG stipulates do only refer to failures to meet requirements of process design. In no case there are fines for social media providers in the case of wrongfully consider a piece of content lawful in a specific case.

It seems to me that this whole discussion is fundamentally unable to consider these legal nuances. Also, blaming NetzDG for actions of authoritarian governments is just plain silly.

Yes, but AFAIK things you download via your Apple Music subscription are still DRM-protected and can only be listened to as long as your subscription remains active.

Whereas the iTunes store downloads are a one time-purchase and have no DRM, so they're yours to keep.
You could do that by hiding a document in any other document with existing tools. A picture in a picture is pretty specific to the format of most online media consumption.
Sometimes the serious training wheels on the system make sense, especially when navigating the learning curve.

Other times, the need to have direct hardware access from the BIOS on up cannot be avoided.

The bugaboo is the quest for the One True System that is all things to all people.

I bought my dad one of the other mentioned companies (OnLogic) computers - and it was very robust (the industrial fanless mini itx stuff) - passively cooled, no noise, small and powerful enough for his needs, and frankly the bulldozer yellow color scheme was appealing to someone that worked in construction.
Go and Rust seem to have some of the most rabid fan bases of all programming languages and this article mentions both. A perfect HN storm.

I think all the arguments against Go in this article are fair and I think you can write articles just as long about any programming language of your choosing. It's very strange to see the level professional programmers will stoop to if their favourite tool gets criticised.

The fanboys of programming languages are the worst part of a language community. The "why not rewrite it in Rust" and the "you're golanging it wrong" crowds only drive people away from their respective languages.
Spreadsheets are one of the most ubiquitous business tools in the world. Similar to email, another ubiquitous business tool, there are good uses and bad uses of the tool. Users need to know when to use them, when to not use them, and when to move onto something more robust.

Genetic Factor 5 Leiden. I clot like crazy. A really bad chemical exposure triggered gene to go crazy. So tons of micro strokes. (TIA) doctors were constantly dismissing, as if it was strokes then I would certainly be dead already.

Trains are great, but are losing out to trucks, so I think there's a lot of promise in "trains, but small" approaches, even if none of them have taken off so far.

Manual access is a concern, but from what I can tell the vehicles are powered by induction instead of batteries. The cargo might be the bigger fire risk.
It matters a lot IMO. Most systems programming languages can implement whatever concurrency primitives you care to use, but most people default to whatever is provided by the OS/language because concurrency is hard. Having first-class syntactic sugar over a concurrent runtime bakes in a certain programming style in the language, which strongly determines how the language is used and the programming style. Go comes out of the Newsqueak/Aleph/Limbo family which has a very different style of programming compared to a lot of other languages.
There are places that have been great to live for multiple generations, and places that have been troubled for just as long, I don't think this model has much predictive power.

You literally type in the domain on something like namecheap.com if it says available you click add to cart and click checkout. Familiarity with the process of buying something online is the only requisite. Everything after is the hard part.
I can't comment on the Swiss, but in the US if you live next to a dedicated freight line, the train company can and will send trains through at all hours of the night and the only thing you can do about it is find somewhere else to live. CSX, Union Pacific, BNSF, etc could not care less about noise complaints.

If you find yourself living next to tracks, the best you can do is try to drown out the noise like this person did [0]

> Who cares if it is a legitimate criticism and makes unique points in both cases?

Clearly, the people flagging it care, whether because they disagree with your assessment of it providing legitimate criticism and unique points in both cases, or because they think some other quality it has outweighs that in assessing it against the bar for belonging on HN.

Value is subjective and people clearly disagree with you on this point.

Inform 7 is now open source
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't ignore most of my post and my experience. As I've said, our codebase is more than 20 years old (which is a large time scale for most code), and the vast majority of errors are logic errors and not TypeError: Thing is undefined. You seem to think that only your vision of things is valid, which is a terrible attitude to have. If you don't like being woken up, find a job where you're not on call.
>> the alternative is one must simply be skeptical of the good judgment of one's neighbors, and people don't want to live like that.

People love being skeptical of their neighbors' judgement, what they're afraid of is being skeptical of their own. They can't handle backing the wrong horse, so instead they declare that the system is wrong

I argued for a gradual implementation of Georgist Tax Policies elsewhere in the thread so we are in agreement. I think transitioning to a LVT is a very hard problem that requires a great deal of thought and care. I'm convinced such a transition needs to be gradual because instantaneous is far too destructive. I'm also leaning towards government needing to compensate at least some of those who lose significantly in the transition. I'm open to being proven wrong about either point but the proposals I've seen from Georgists advocating instantaneous change seem woefully ill informed or quite naive about consequences.
I have been wondering whether this would happen in the US with ever-increasing income inequality, lack of trust between police and the general populace (a 2-way street IMO), and other factors. Things are moving more and more in the direction of a third-world country here.

We're far from India or Pakistan levels, but the factors I cite above seem to be moving us in that direction as far as the narrow issue of law and order goes.
> Gmail users aren't leaving Gmail over this

I'd change to "Not enough Gmail users are leaving over (just) this yet".

Yes Gmail is big enough and popular enough that any one change that pisses off a small chunk of their users won't kill the juggernaut, plus any any one thing like this is so small it won't change someone from a lover to a hater overnight, but gradually users do either find they dislike a product enough to move to one of the many much better paid but cheap options, or to one of the differently-flawed but perhaps now preferable rival free options, and gradually the users who make business decisions of whether or not their company uses Google's business suite also may find that the next time they need to make a decision, little annoyances in Gmail are the thing that tips them into considering putting a business on something like 365 instead.

Personally I'd like to see more and more smaller companies that really specialise and excel in their one area without either bloating into trying to do too many weird things (cough Mozilla) or being acquired by Google/Microsoft etc. but I've not always been good at voting with my wallet due to the convenience of for example having a single Microsoft license to cover everything from the Word license somebody wants to their custom domain email hosting.

Another question I had: what does methane become once it breaks down? It becomes CO2 (a relatively minor greenhouse gas per unit weight, but long-lived) and H2O, right? H2O is no big problem in the lower troposphere. It just rains out. But in the stratosphere… it can stick around for much longer and impact the climate.

How much does this matter for methane? I would imagine methane floats up pretty high into the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Does it keep going? What stops it from getting to the thermosphere and (ultimately) exosphere?
