Man, HN is brutal sometimes.

I wish you hadn’t made your quip about the left saying “no guns”, because it isn’t important at all to your central point, which is that structural issues in the US prevent meaningful progress on gun control regardless of whether it’s good policy or the majority of people want it.

But you have like five people responding to that “left no guns” thing specifically, instead of to your real point, which is absolutely correct and the heart of the issue.

When you advocate for punishing law-abiding citizens for the misdeeds of criminals, you should question whether you are really acting for the greater good.
Making cars is very hard--cut them some slack.

This is not a great time to buy any efficient car. Things were easing until gas prices jumped up ... and the recent lockdowns in China probably haven't helped.

It's a good idea to wait for a more opportune time if you can.
Why do you think we don’t pass policy that >90% of people agree with? How do you propose to fix that problem?

(I’ll give you my personal opinion: we can’t because of structural flaws in the US political system, and the problem is impossible to fix.)
I don't see anything funny about it. What am I missing?
"Where many U.S. states permit concealed carry of handguns, handguns are virtually illegal to carry in Canada. Transporting them from your home to the range is legal, but they must be unloaded, locked, and permits are required for the transport."

I see no mechanism by which those laws would reduce mass shootings. A mass shooter would simply ignore them.

The other policies you mention may be more relevant, but it goes to show how easy it is to conflate various kinds of harm and what laws might prevent it.

I think gun owners would be much more receptive to regulation if they felt people were genuinely trying to separate narrow and effective laws from broad infringements that annoy many and accomplish little. But it's hard to get past the "more guns laws the better" mentality that is so wodespread.
Zero. Do you truly believe we are past the need to defend against tyrannical regimes?

Serious crime in the metaverse should be outlawed by the U.N., UAE minister says
> No, the problem is guns in the possession of people who can't use them responsibly.

The problem is that guns are so readily available that even those that cannot use them responsibly can still get their hands on them. Three of the four guns used in Columbine weren't even purchased by the killers but by a fellow school mate who had turned 18 and could buy them for the killers. Similarly, with the Sandyhook shooting -- it wasn't even the shooter's gun that was used.
I would doubt NOAA if it were tasked with evaluating the consequences of the government's actions.

NOAA mostly writes about the weather, and most of the time they aren't trying to claim that the government did or did not cause the weather.

If NOAA were to put out a report on, say, the effectiveness of the current ruling party's approach to weather control, then yes I would doubt them too.
But the U.S. accepts other things that are regulated, a couple of examples:

Speed limits: Speed doesn't cause accidents just people who go faster than their ability to control the vehicle. Many people are sensible and wouldn't do this.

Drugs: Many people can take drugs and enjoy them and not descend into anti-social and criminal behavior.
US was wiser than others because we were able to look at our mistakes and fix them admirably.

There's 0 evidence the 94 ban had any effect. Violent crime was already on a downward tend, and when the ban sunsetted 16 years ago, that downward trend continued until the last 2 years. There's several links just in this comment section that backs that up.

"Assault weapon" is a political term with no solid definition. If you mean banning semi-automatic guns, that's at least a meaningful proposal. Again though- this class of weapons have been around and readily accessible for over 100 years. Mass shootings are a modern problem. Why would banning them now be the answer?

Until the Orlando shooting, the VT shooting, committed with two handguns and 10 round magazines, was the deadliest in US history. Charles Whitman killed 14 people with a bolt action rifle from the UT bell tower. I'm not saying these disprove your assault weapons ban solution, but it's certainly not as straightforward as you're making it out to be.

WHA8m says >" but it should be obvious that there is a problem."<

It being so "obvious", perhaps you could clearly state the problem. And then you might possibly also have a solution (as do so many commentators today)?

If you've studied complex social systems (e.g., the USA's socio-political environment) nothing is "obvious" about them and most "solutions" prove to be illusory.

As I just replied to "cle", some disadvantages doing the way that it is because one can't predict what content ID would be produced. Perhaps the hash of the entire contents of the file could point the hash that is current the content ID would solve this issue. To me, IPFS does not seem useful unless this issue is solved. Also, multiple hashes (different algorithms) of the file could point to the content ID/merkle DAG; so if both SHA2 and SHA3 were both used and one of them had a security issues, then just use the one that is OK.
I think we’ve seen the policy play out:

People are talking about reducing cars’ access to pedestrians though. A lot.

Go to any organized large gathering since ramming into crowds became a popular terrorist move in the 2010’s and you’ll notice a preponderance of heavy barricades. Sand trucks blocking roads, cement barriers on sidewalks, marathon crowds physically separated from roads, etc. See also how every new-ish commercial building has bollards around the entrance or at least those large cement flower pots. Even if it isn’t a government building.

All to prevent ramming attacks. Because of how common they became.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-ramming_attack

Code for bollards was updated with intentional ramming in mind

> On 23 October 2014, the US National Institute of Building Sciences updated its Building Design Guideline on Crash- and Attack-Resistant Models of bollards, a guideline written to help professionals design bollards to protect facilities from vehicle operators, "who plan or carry out acts of property destruction, incite terrorism, or cause the deaths of civilian, industrial or military populations".[26] The American Bar Association recommends bollards as effective protection against car ramming attacks.

Various cities installed permanent protection

> In January 2018, it was announced by the then mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, that the city planned to install 1,500 steel street barriers to prevent vehicle attacks. This came after two vehicle-ramming attacks in 2017 in the city killed a total of nine people.[28]

> The city of Münster has been planning to install security bollards in public areas in response to vehicle-ramming attacks in European cities, including the Berlin attack.[29] While only selected locations can be protected this way, tight bends and restricted-width streets may also prevent a large vehicle getting speed before reaching a barrier.[30

I've often wondered what would happen if mass shootings were just reported in some dry government report released on some Friday in July.

(Obviously this would either have to be a voluntary media cooperation or violate the free press. But an interesting hypothetical.)
Basically anyone with a pulse can get a driver's license, it's almost impossible to lose one permanently, and even people caught driving without one often only get a slap on the wrist.
> you have added fraud protection also

torment is pretty dark too. It's gritty and harsh, but it leans more in the fantasy direction rather then down to earth the way Disco is.

Also disco is more of a slice of life while the plot of torment though still incredibly dark is more epic. Disco bleeds immersion. But to achieve it they stripped out pretty much all the fantasy elements out of the setting and story. Torment manages to achieve immersion while at the same time making the setting more epic and fantasmic then anything you've ever even seen. The writing and setting is better then basically almost every fantasy novel out there.

In fact Disco reads more like a contemporary novel then it does fantasy or sci-fi. Torment is grounded in fantasy but it's dark and gritty enough that it doesn't feel fake like the final fantasy games. I would say it lies somewhere in between a standard bioware RPG and Disco.
I always hear this argument, but it’s like people forget what the primary purpose of guns and cars is.

If the primary purpose of cars was to drive over people then they would be banned.

This is why you can own a car, but not a tank.
I don't see any undeserved shifting of blame to males. I think you are just playing the victim here. Women simply aren't as violent by nature.
The Economic Impacts of Open Science (2019)
Those other countries do not have similar rates of mental health issues, or similar social situations at all.

If you ignore guns entirely, the US still stands out from other countries with an extraordinarily high rate of non-gun violence. It's more accurate to say that the US has a violence problem in general.

If you're truly interested in solving the violence problem, perhaps examine why the US is such a statistical outlier. And also, perhaps, why other countries like Switzerland have such different outcomes while still having extremely high rates of private gun ownership.
It can be worthwhile replacing a wide interface with a narrow one. If an external interface has 30 methods but you only use 3, declare an interface with those 3 methods. Go makes it easy.

This is the interface equivalent of removing unused function parameters. Most people would say you shouldn’t add extra, unused parameters to a function just in case you might need them someday. Why require methods that you don’t use?

If I was a civilian in a large scale war between the United States government and its civilian population I’m pretty sure I would rather the civilians have access to cars than to guns if it was one or the other.

Yes. Yes we should.
IPv6 often "just works" and last I checked Google's traffic in the USA is over 45%. Makes P2P way easier.
Official inflation stats will probably cool down. Prices are already so high that a return to "normal" inflation would still be misery.

But actually I suspect that "core" inflation will fall somewhat. The problem is that energy and food are basically just running out. Whether it happens from rising prices or falling incomes, dinner tables are going to get pretty lean

In America, actually I think we won't run out of food. Our dinner tables will stop having the variety that we are accustomed to and the quality of meat we have grown to expect, but most of us will still get enough calories.

But the world is running out of energy, running out of food, and running out of people producing either of those things, and the fed moving money around can't make up the shortage.

OP here - super awesome to see such amazing responses and unique game ideas and variations.

Struggling to keep track of how to run through all the conversations. I did find this tool which helps zoom into sub-threads. https://trungdq88.github.io/hn-big-threads/index.html

There's gotta be a balance though. This is basically fucking me out of being able to be on my meds, which dramatically improves my quality of life. Finding a new doctor to treat my ADHD is nearly impossible. I've done and continue to do therapy, so I have tools that help, but my medication is my mind. Without it, tools only work for so long, with it it, I rarely even need the tools I've built in therapy.

But because of these 'crackdowns', it's becoming impossible to find any provider that will prescribe them, and nothing else has worked for me. I don't know what to do, because once I can't get my meds anymore, I'll likely fall back into months or years of 'putting off' getting back on them.
This is really cool actually. Do you know of any use cases for such automations (clicking or moving of mice) in the work setting?
Carry regulations specifically have loosened. CHL holders are statistically model citizens. They commit significantly less violent crimes than the general public, and significantly less than even trained police officers.

Regulations on purchasing have increased drastically over the last 60 years. It's harder to buy a gun now than it ever has been in this country.
>Bearing arms and being part of a well-regulated militia are American civil rights granted by the Bill of Rights. Purchasing those arms isn't a civil right.

"Voting in elections is a civil right granted by the Bill of Rights. Access to a polling station isn't a civil right."

That's effectively what you're saying. Rights enshrine access. Things like poll taxes, voter ID, etc. have all been declared unconstitutional because they infringe upon your right. Banning purchasing arms falls in the exact same category.
> And the argument for removing rifles ignores that they’re rarely used in crimes — more people are killed by hammers or fists than rifles.

Your own link shows that two thirds of homicides are committed using guns. That’s your only citation and hardly a compelling one to back up your claim that the US has a far lower crime rate thanks to all the guns
> Early this month China’s president Xi Jinping encouraged the country’s youth to establish great ideals" and incorporate their personal goals into the "bigger picture" of the Chinese nation and people. "China’s hope lies in youth,"*

On the one hand he's still pushing yolking your ambition to the party/country, but on the other hand this sounds remarkably pro-individual pro-ambition.

Super interesting start of thr article. Not sure if there really is a change in the state's attitude/desires... I think of China as trying to control & master biopower, to be supreme, and he's still demanding subservience, but there's also an admission here that the state is only as good as it's people, that people need to go out & find ways to get thselves empowered. That feels different from previous Chinas.
Is there a reason these aren't just in the native package managers? Licensing? It blows my mind I can't install a RHEL-alike and run `dnf install kubernetes` and just, like, have what I need. Sure, maybe I have to pick a container runtime, fine. This is even more astonishing when you realize Fedora CoreOS has no actual RPM for kubernetes even though it is ostensibly a container hosting OS. How do I let rpm-ostree run wild and keep kubernetes at a compatible version?

The installation steps for Kubernetes and the rest of the ecosystem like minikube and helm are all essentially `wget install.sh | sh`. What am I missing? How do people do this in production environments?

Except the National Guard are actually part of the Army, Navy and Air Force.

"The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the reserve components of the United States Army and the United States Air Force when activated for federal missions."

It may be organized by state, but it's a federal force.

The 2A exists to give people tools to fight the government (or support it), it's not a gun fetish, it's literally a tool to empower citizens. If you doubt that people armed with rifles, shotguns, and semi-automatics can overcome the Worlds Biggest Armed Forces(tm), then look at the most recent example: Afghanistan (repelled the US -and- the USSR).
Minority Report was an argument against such practice because there is no possible interpretation of its success.

I didn't realise the the rate of muggings, assaults, home invasions etc. was higher in Australia and the United States. Sounds like a nightmare. /s
How often do people use guns to defend themselves against violent crime, and how often do people kill themselves or others with guns (accidentally or intentionally)?
That is blatantly not true. There have been several mass shootings in Australia such as the 2002 Monash University shooting and the 2014 Sydney hostage crisis since Port Arthur, which inspired the modern Australian gun control system. Port Arthur was also 25 years ago, not 35. Australia also only had a handful of mass shootings before Port Arthur; mass shootings have never been a major issue in Australia.

I don’t think you can get a driver’s license in one step shop. It usually requires you bring documents and wait in long lines and schedule a test and take the test on a different day and go back wait in long lines. There’s no way you can get a driver’s license with a pulse.

> Availability of guns is not unique to USA but using those guns to kill innocent children at super-unproportional scale is. Why?

If you don't have the answer to that question, the obvious solution is to remove the gun from the equation until you can answer the question.
Agreed. TikTok does this as well... I literally get spam calls just as I scroll though content there. Microsoft leaks numbers somehow as well, even on Enterprise service apps, as I used to get spam calls on company phones from authenticating on Azure all the time, when the numbers were totally private and used for business calls only.

It's really a new form of torture to have to remember a really complex password and to do a TFA log in every time a change needs to be made now, one of my least likeable parts of modern jobs. It's not even like we had breaches, it just became mandatory and now a lot of things like cloud config go largely unchecked by admins because it's so tedious to log in so frequently and they often get locked out the minute they forget their phone at home because email is often another password/TFA hurdle... Stupid wins first these days. Breaches still happen elsewhere all the time despite TFA adoption as well, hackers keep engineering workarounds, and mobile security is compromised when personal devices are used anyway. A much better approach is in segmenting data, and only retaining essential/required data, but systems are made to collect far too many details on users and subject matter overreaching a "need to know" basis, which also dramatically increases the impact of modern data breaches.

TFA used to be based on email and it was just fine. The only reason why phones became mandatory is precisely because of illicit use of phone contacts by these platforms. The bootleg calls also probably eats up tons of money in terms of prepaid minutes for people with those types of plans, yet whenever there is a fine, none of the affected people see true justice.
