So, I haven't lived in California since 1992, thus I cannot claim to speak in an informed way about this (except for the fact that Austin seemed to have a huge number of California license plates in 2020 and 2021). I'm wondering if any of the (presumably numerous) California (or very recently California) based HN readers could give their opinion on this take (or the New York Times')?
Why not punish both? Humans get away with actions under the flag of a country, business, or organization. It makes no sense. But it also makes no sense to let the overlying structure get away with it. Hence my question: why not punish both? Yes, I do understand more than 1 person is responsible. But that's the flak you receive when you are high up in the hierarchy. You end up having responsibility. And with responsibility comes repercussions if you don't follow the rulebook (except in the corporate world, of course).
We have some rather close friends who live nearby and had a spontaneous dinner with them more than once. It's refreshing and fun when done in moderation.
I've been waiting +25 years for this.

But I don't want my phone to serve as my "root" authority. I'd rather have a separate pair of fobs used to seed all my other devices. Then put one of those fobs somewhere safe.

When the USA finally gets smart and implements postal banking, I'd love for the USPS to offer safe boxes. Maybe even other fob related services. Kinda like a notary public, but for credentials.

Late 90s, shortly after W3C's P3 failed to catch on, a buddy and me cobbled together a SSO POC for browsers. Our catchy name was "Credendity", a failed portnameau evoking credentials and identity. One of our core motivators was "faceted identity", negotiated per account, to only share partial PII, to thwart data aggregators. So naive; big data deanon always wins.

Our POC was just turrible. Embarrassing. Ditto every SSO implementations I've used since, whether standards-based, vendor, or bespoke. In hindsight, it's too bad our sense of integrity and esthetics prompted us to abandon our effort.
That is even more damning - it does not even allow the "saving storage space" excuse.
It’s fine if they’re not, trees produce ridiculous numbers of seeds per individual and if only a few are successful nature will take care of the rest.

The problem is that monoculture forests aren’t actually all that great, better than nothing but not that great either.
I think the failure of communism more or less proves that greed is not just an accidental flaw of the system, but rather an amplification of our natural selection, and as such cannot just be suppressed or removed, because it removes too much of our driving force.

Yes I think it will always be morally wrong, because it will be selfish and greedy at it's very core.

It was very primitive. It was essentially a mechanism for composing operations on vectors. I don’t know for certain but I would guess that it was inspired by IBM and their work on APL.

I use a double headed razor, and this article is ridiculous. I don't use it because it's cheaper or works better, I use it because I rarely shave and one pack of blades has lasted me years.

But it's so problematic. It does not shave nearly as well as a modern multi-razor disposable, it's prone to cutting me if I'm not careful, and takes more time. You can't bring the blades on airplanes. It's clear that you actually need disposables sometimes, and that they often shave better and for longer.

The best and cheapest shave is from a straight razor. You know how many people use that? About zero. ~$150 for a decent razor and you have it for life. But then it's a chore to maintain and not easy to shave with.

It's clear that we pay more for products that are more convenient. They are providing additional value, even if the cost is inflated.

The correct answer to the Amazon Problem is to create an alternate organization that starts as a unionized workplace, and goes from there. E.g. Spain's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

These problems mentioned in this thread are due to the greed of Capitalists. Period.

Once the 'age of the Capitalist' is put behind us, and we move towards post-capitalism, then bs like OP mentions will be history.
I think the difference comes down to a question of leadership style and effectiveness vs correct policy making. For example I used to be 100% vegetarian for ~5 years due to ethical concerns. The reason I stopped is that I am pretty sure that no single animal's life got spared because of me not eating meat. However, I'd immediately have voted "yes" to ban all meat eating. If I had run for office on that platform nobody would have elected me because they perceived me as insincere. Not understanding that might be bad leadership rather than actual insincerity.

Gosh this seems like a brilliantly effective next step in the TikTokers’ campaign to drain life of any and all colour and playfulness and spontaneity. As an autistic person, I’d cast my vote for ‘occasionally misunderstand things’ over ‘have ridiculous sarcasm warnings on everything so that you can’t actually be sarcastic, or anything but grimly solemn and annoyingly earnest 100% of the time’.

(Also, Lord save me from people who call themselves “allies”. It’s just called being a normal decent person, but that doesn’t let you brag about it or use autistic/black/etc people as fashion accessories, so I s’pose that’s off the menu..)
Ha yes, I probably know you.
I've been using an electric razor for years, too, and I agree that they are much cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

The only reason I've had to replace them so far is that it becomes impossible to buy replacement blades and foil. So I have to buy a model that is only superficially different, instead of just replacing the expendables.
Humans are hugely responsible for the spread of violent propoganda.

Attempting to curtail people's ability to communicate what they already believe isn't a long term solution and only leads to normalising central authorities deciding what ideas can and can't be communicated.
I don't know if it's elites who are doing it, but greenwashing is a serious concern. We are too trusting that people claiming to restore the environment are "good" and can therefore be trusted to take a truly effective approach, rather than merely playing a game to maximize profit like a typical capitalist.

Modernizing our tech stack for serving maps at Wikipedia
Fair point. I just found it to be an interesting choice of words. Whenever they use the same term, in other industries, they are talking about double-digit tenures.

The main point is that this is a fairly unambiguous message to other managers, that allowing unionization to happen under their watch would be a careericidal offense.

That means that they can expect the warehouse managers to get pretty desperate, and probably break all kinds of laws and whatnot. It's just that the message is being sent in a way that allows the company to keep their hands clean, from the almost certain results.

The managers will certainly get fired, if unionization happens, and might get fired, if they get caught, spiking the trees.

Guess which path the managers are likely to take?
Yeah, I also doubt their claims. Spreading seeds from the air you're basically spreading bird food.

Successful trees need the seeds to be planted under the earth.

Lockheed Martin had a plan to make baby tree missiles to be dropped from the sky [1] and they'll embed themselves nicely into the earth thanks to the terminal velocity energy.

Trouble is, they'll also probably kill all animals in the forest they happen to impale on their way down.

Part of the point of this article is that more economical and environmentally friendly alternatives have been made harder for consumers to find. There's nothing wrong with shaving or drinking tea, yet when we go down to the shops to get the things we need, all our choices are limited to plastic disposable razors and pre-filled plastic tea bags. We don't always have the choice to vote with our wallets because the alternatives aren't equally accessible.
I’d like to invite you to invest in my startup. We’ve got hundreds of strains of trees that will self plant millions of trees each year.
Everything adds up, but I can't really sum up everything in one comment (or maybe I could, but I haven't), and you are not reading all the other comments (at least I don't expect you to). There are factors other than convenience and price, and lately those factors add up so that a double-edged razor is my choice. There are times I use cartridges and there are times I don't. My main critique is that saying "Shaving is too expensive and is a demonstrative example of how most consumer products are designed to extract more money from you rather than to improve your life, or the world, or to be in any way remotely good." is _just_ incorrect.
Why does this guy think NYT gives a crap why people move into or out of California? If he cares so much, why doesn’t he ask some people himself rather than speculating?

The opposite could be argued in other markets too:

Spotify/Apple Music is super convenient and relatively cheap, if you listen to music even at moderate levels. Yeah you don't own the albums, but you get all the value-added features like music discovery, playlist, sharing etc.

Netflix also the same: have access to many movies and series at a very low cost (if you watch even moderately), also comes with the same: you don't own the content (but how many times were you planning to watch the same movie/episode in average anyway when there are thousands to pick from? And even if you do, it's still cheaper if that episode is not literally the only thing you watch), and recommendations.

Tinder/Bumble also the same: you don't go out to places (which would cost MUCH more than the app subscription) and try to find a mate: you match and have sex. You might or might not have a partner in the end, but that's not the promise anyway.

Same for iPhone subscriptions in US (the one you pay a monthly cheap fee and always have the latest iPhone).

Pretty much sure there are many examples out there too.

They are all convenient, and are actually cheaper than the "old way", giving access on demand to whatever you like from a big catalog.
1. saved money does not necessarily represent an increase in wealth. A rich individual can save against the will of the rest of the population. When you remember that total debt = total credit (savings on your bank account) then you are basically keeping people waiting and making them unable to pay their debts back.

The spy in the sky that sees backwards in time
This system works well for some things (side projects, sweeping the floor), but not others (treating medical conditions, handling tax issues). It is important to differentiate between those two classes of action items.
Most of the time you can increase performance either by increasing clock frequency or doing more per clock. Raising clock speed usually increases power exponentially. On a desktop this is usually the strategy because we can put decent cooling rigs on them.

Doing more per clock is difficult on an x86 compared to ARM. x86's instruction set is a hodgepodge collection of instructions of variable lengths and addressing modes. ARM64 on the other hand has far less addressing modes and a fixed 32-bit instruction length. When an x86 is trying to decode ahead of the instruction stream it needs to decode each instruction in order or have special logic to get around that which makes it more difficult to stay ahead of the processor. Normally you see an x86 chip described as having a certain number of complex and a certain number simple decoders because some instructions are just pigs of things to decode. Simple decodes will get stuff that decode to 3 uops or less while complex handles most of the rest. Some real pigs of instructions might even be sent to the microcode sequencer which generates a whole heap of uops which takes a while.

In the case of ARM64 every 4 bytes you have an instruction come hell or high water. On a chip like the M1 it takes 32-bytes of instructions, splits every 4 bytes between its 8 decoders, and each will spit out uops in parallel. From there the chip will issue those decoded instructions to the necessary execution ports. Because of the less complicated decoding, the huge increase in decoding throughput, and the huge reorder buffers an M1 can keep more of its execution ports busy. If twice as many execution ports can be kept full it means you can do the same amount of work in half as many clock cycles. Because you're only running at half the clock speed your power usage is way lower.
I get the convenience part but the waste reduction itself is already worth the switch. Yeah your shaving cartridge or flaking teflon pan might be a drop in the ocean (perhaps literally) but when there are billions of humans around we should think about what inconvenience does it worth to keep our environment lovable.

How exactly is an expectation of consistent messaging regarding policy "gotcha" thinking? I also don't see anywhere where it's being suggested that politicians need to live "perfect austere lifestyles." This is a false dichotomy. There is no reason they couldn't book business class on the train.
I found this remarkable irritating myself. I created a Wikipedia page recently for a former TV host, and current podcaster I really enjoy. He's written several books and is cited by other people. I've certainly seen much less noteworthy people having Wikipedia pages.

I spent several hours gathering sources and put together a decent little Wikipedia page. It was voted as being not-noteworthy and removed. I didn't realize all my citations were going to go with it. Wasn't up long enough even to get picked up by the wayback machine.

The Wikipedia article for Michael Aquino would be a great one to see added here. Lt Colonel in the US Army who wrote a seminal paper on psychological operations, had close ties to the highest levels of NATO command in Europe, performed a ritual with an SS dagger at Wewelsburg Castle in Germany, and was an outspoken Satanist who was credibly accused of child abuse in the Presidio daycare scandal. One can see why a lot of people might not mind that his page was deleted and now redirects to "Temple of Set."

>I think the problem that a DAO solves is to get people together that share a common interest and provides an efficient way to ensure proper governance and compliance.

I don't know. I think DAOs are a poor replacement for adhering to Wheaton's Law[0] and not interacting with those that don't.

Especially since DAOs would exclude a great number of people who could positively contribute to a forum/interest group.

My biggest issue with electric razors is that they never gave me as smooth a shave as using a razor-blade (or cartridge). That annoyed me enough to stop using it.

But sure, they do last forever.
> Trouble is they'll also probably kill all animals in the forest they happen to impale on their way down.

Is this actually that big of a deal? Unless they're literally carpet-bombing the place I'd expect the collateral damage to be minimal.

I guess you can also adjust the schedule of the operation at times where the most common animals in the target area aren't active and are unlikely to be out in the line of fire.
But...but...the economists (some schools at least) claim that the market is perfectly efficient and prices everything in!

Cute quip but you've not made your point.

> Talk about bad UX.

I think you could say this for CLIs in general. While we can all agree that the
CLI is great for tasks that require repetition; it's just a PITA for any
one-time task. When you just need to do something once and as soon as possible,
the manual-help-type-run loop gets tiresome quickly.

Passing options to a program so it can do what most users would want it to do in
the first place is nonsensical, and yet that describes the behaviour of many if
not all of *nix's tools. It should be the other way around: do what is expected
by default, and provide options for different, more uncommon use-cases. Though I
suppose this is also a form of baggage from the past that it's very difficult to
get rid off because of backwards compatibility.
Isn’t inkdrop React Native? The maker has a quite nice YouTube channel where he writes RN and contributes regularly to RN open source.
I strongly disagree. Personal computers are here to stay, and will only become more integrated into daily life due to the conveniences they afford. The fight now isn’t to keep computing out of daily life. Rather, we ought to be fighting to ensure that people have control over the computers in their lives.

There are two ways this ends up:

The future where everyone has to carry around a black box computing device controlled by its manufacturer and the privileged creators of the apps you’ve been allowed or compelled to install on it. The present state of iPads/iPhones and to a lesser extent Android phones make this future feel incredibly close.

But the future where everyone carries around an incredible communication and calculation tool that acts as an agent for them and expands every individual’s capabilities feels only just slightly out of reach.

The line dividing the two futures is thin and technical in nature. This leaves us with a tricky situation where most people wouldn’t be able to distinguish which they’re headed towards, or even which they’re living in. All I can do is hope that either legal tides go my way and grant users control over their computers (phones) by force, or that somehow tech literacy rises and people demand control.
I don't know what you're talking about.

I use cast iron pan because everything I cook comes out 10 times better on a cast iron pan. You can properly sear meat on them. Things don't get cooked on the outside and stay raw on the inside.

I thought I was shit at cooking before getting a cast iron pan - I just had the wrong tools.
I'm definitely not a chef and I don't cook for pleasure, I just throw chicken, steaks, eggs on the pan and eat when it's safe to do so.

Most chefs on youtube are using cast iron pans, you won't get the same results following instructions made for another pan.

In regards to heating up, I never noticed the pan taking too long to heat up.

Maintenance takes more time, but it's nothing more than rubbing oil on it and throwing it in the oven. You can also get away with not doing it for a long time (you can wait until food starts sticking to it)

Hmm, no we should not. The default is already that any stated opinion is your own, disclosing ties is only necessary when you're expressing an opinion about a company you are actually working for.

This case, when an employee speaks about their employer in a public forum, is pretty rare, so rare in fact that people are surprised when they see disclosures -like in this very thread.

In order to achieve immutability, large chunks of state have to be cloned whenever a single value changes. This sometimes causes a whole new DOM node to be created during reconciliation.
