This tech pullback is tricky. One one hand, there are real businesses with revenue behind a lot of the tech companies (unlike 2000), and these companies have actually changed consumer habits. There are also a lot of crypto businesses that are mostly still private and have invented a electronic trading cards that are losing value. Tech is also a lot bigger than it was in 2000 and 2008, a lot more people got into the industry, and it's not clear how overgrown it is.

Bolt seems like it managed cash flow poorly, and it's in a tough space, effectively competing with your browser, your phone's wallet, Paypal, Amazon, and (eventually?) Shopify. The question is how bad are second-order effects, and how much does a pullback hurt well-run players.

You must be a Ray Dalio fan.
But these games are just as popular in many other countries as well.
There certainly have been many new ones added since columbine - and a few have been taken away or expanded in the other direction sure.

Part of this depends on where you are in the US - but the gp statement is true - we have added more and more gun laws - and it's still illegal to murder people - and yet people still murder people.
>There are stringent licensing requirements and heavy penalties for breaking the rules. That’s all most people are asking for.

Aren't there already heavy penalties? Have there been any mass shooters that haven't been "adequately" punished?

My whole thing is that I do believe that "gun control" would result in less gun related deaths... but it wouldn't stop psychos from killing people. It's been shown time and time again that you don't need a gun to kill 10+ people.

I also don't think that we're at the point where we trust our government to the point of surrendering our best/final line of defense. I feel any sort of "gun ban" or "gun control" would be irreversible, certainly irreversible at any point it's needed most.
> Dont care. Its a small punishment for a greater good.

This sort of attitude is a big reason why US politics is polarized around this issue. So let me try to adjust your "small punishment for a greater good" attitude a bit.

Guns are self-defense weapons. They are particularly useful as equalizers: a little old lady who can shoot can defend herself against a mugger much larger than her in a way she couldn't possibly do by any other means. So any government that proposes to take away people's guns "for a greater good" has an absolute obligation to extirpate any kind of violent crime that might cause a person to need a gun for self-defense. I mean "extirpate" literally: zero violent crime. Or at least so close to it as to be rounding error. But of course no government on Earth ever has or ever can achieve that level of control over violent crime, at least not in a free country. Perhaps China could do it, though even there I doubt it: China has criminal gangs.

So given that the government can't possibly make it truly unnecessary for any law-abiding citizen to need a gun, if the government still insists on taking away people's guns "for a greater good", the government is taking the attitude that, as long as the politicians who live in gated communities and have personal protective details can have their bodyguards have guns so they aren't victims of violent crime, they don't care that the people they're supposed to be representing are victims of violent crime and can't defend themselves. And that is not an acceptable attitude for the government of a free country.
The problem is China's government supports just a monumental level of corruption and graft, and has been doing so by exploiting the "developing nation" growth boone.

But that only works once: its days of 7-8% GDP growth year over year[1] are behind it and not coming back. The CCP government seems somewhat aware of this - the social credit system, internet firewall and various other police state measures seem to be an effort to "pre-oppress" the population once the growth levels off (or flat lines entirely) since the implied social contract of China has always been "tomorrow is better then today" - and that's all going to stop once the graft and corruption eats the much lower GDP growth which a developed nation has.

- The project is actually currently in the middle of some performance comparison testing. I myself am not conducting the tests and I'd like to review the methodology we use for the tests but initial reports I'm hearing are quite good. I do have first-hand anecdotal evidence from a heavy user of OpenZiti indicating from Australia to the US he'll usually pull 40-50mbps over open internet. OpenZiti often pulls 50 consistently while still being a zero trust overlay. One of the knocks on OpenZiti is the mTLS between links, and full end to end encryption on by default being "overkill". This anecdotal evidence however, seems to suggest that the CPU burden of "all that encryption" is not significant at all.

- The private, authenticated DNS provided by the tunnellers has not been a problem whatsoever for nearly every user. Sure there are times when bugs creep in, but I'd say for the majority of times people use any of the tunneling apps the way we do private DNS has been no issue. The OP of this article might have more to offer here. He's very well versed with DNS in general. I don't recall exactly how this works in linux but we have some advanced linux users doing "interesting" things and I know of no major issues... yet... :) If you try OpenZiti, I hope you won't be the first! Each OS is a little different here too. The Windows clients work differently and the MacOS ones a bit differently. All "somewhat" the same but sometimes with subtle nuances

- "For Nebula this would be by delivering the certificate to the machine" - realistically that's exactly the same process with OpenZiti's "regular/most common" type of enrollment - the "one time token" approach (using jwts). You deliver a jwt however you like with email being just one option. Then you just re-enroll that jwt which creates a primary key and cert right then/there on that machine, and off you go...

You might find another feature interesting though, OpenZiti also supports 3rd party CA enrollment. This means you can register a CA with OpenZiti and if any device connects and presents a certificate signed by YOUR CA (you don't even have to trust OpenZiti, you can run your own PKI) then you can set that device up for "automatic enrollment" which is truly automatic. You don't need to deliver a new certificate (but you could). This is a somewhat detailed topic and I don't think I could fit enough words on this post and keep it legible. Would be happy to continue that conversation here or in the OpenZiti discourse forum.

One other interesting thing you might like... We just released our first release of a python sdk for OpenZiti. It's able to monkey patch python to allow us to use ansible over OpenZiti. So hopefully soon we should be able to demonstrate ansible over OpenZiti. I've seen it working but it's not __quite__ ready to share to the world. Soon, I'm sure!
No, it should instead be influenced by the side that shouts the loudest in a Fox opinion piece.

The propaganda you decry is already well-embedded in our discourse. It's people shouting about Obama hosting death panels that will kill grandma, or how Biden will somehow turn this country into a socialist paradise, or how the Dems are stealing the election.

The kind of censorship you are asking for does not enhance discourse. It diminishes it. If people are creating policies that produce horror, they need to be able to stand in front of that horror, and affirm that they are okay with it. Not whitewash it with euphemisms, and statistics and 'this is uncomfortable to talk about.'
Is that a question? Who is not modeling risk, at least among large, sophisticated actors?
I just heard this today. Cannot force myself to not hear it as "Tony Danza".

Sweet baby Jesus thank you. I've been waiting years for someone to make a reasonable argument to me on why stricter guns laws are a good idea.

Every other argument I've seen has been appeals to emotion without actually framing the cost/benefit relationship in any useful way.
With all due respect to you and Ray Dalio: Ray is examining patterns within a relative short timeframe and we can always expect a "this time is different" moment or we are in a radical shift in patterns, a black swan or whatever we like to call it. This is just an hypothesis: things follow a pattern until the pattern changes and we are living in an incredible moment when science and technology are accelerating and could solve many human problems that we see impossible now. US is in an incredible position if you compare it with other countries in the world.

US has a lot of issues but we can see it as a platform offering more chances to succeed than other (countries) platforms. You don't need the entire population to succeed, with only a few outliers (Google, Facebook, open Source, an NGO) you can structurally change US and the entire world. I don't want to sound positive about US but more negative about other countries in the world. You cannot take apart the military aspect (even after disastrous wars) the weapons are there in the US. A crisis is completely possible but the gap between the US and other countries is amazing AND US is a talent atractor.
Do you realize you're arguing that people need to stand up on their own in a thread about a mass shooting of children? In the twisted viewpoint of the killer, he stood up for himself, by attacking others. Instead, he should have let the system help him.
In your opinion, what are the best electric designs available today (that aren't crazy expensive)? Would also be interested in acoustic options!
Would love to hear some concrete reasons here. What about postgres makes you avoid MySQL?
I mean I'm not arguing JavaScript's utility.

Its a tool with a time and place for proper usage.
This really isn't the shape of the policy debate in the US. Nobody is seriously talking about rewriting the constitution or banning guns outright. The fundamental issue is that there's a politically powerful minority that is able to block essentially all meaningful attempts at any kind of gun regulation and they do. That's it and it's not likely to change in the short term.
Just a heads up for Android users: The Play store version is a few releases out of date, to get current use FDroid and make sure Guardian Project repo is selected (it's not by default).

Question for the Mozillans/Googlers: How is it that Firefox Nightly are fast-track released multiple times a day to Play Store but stable Tor Browser updates are stuck for weeks? Is there a 'skip the review' option for nightly releases?
We don't need complex theories. It's as simple as a political party opposes action on gun issues. The solution is to vote them out.
Every parent should simply read books at home to prevent dark patterns from hijacking the dopamine systems of their children?

That doesn't sound effective.
Lots of reasons. But I'd say the culture of glorifying gun ownership is a root cause combined with an institutionalized and deliberately flexible attitude to any form of gun control. It varies between states of course. But the net result is that people are assumed to be armed to the teeth. Which leads to shoot first and ask questions later situations. Which is actually something you can legally get away with under some circumstances and something that is glorified as well. And it's getting worse because it's getting worse. People respond to feeling insecure by getting more guns. And bigger guns. And this is big business in the US. Gun manufacturers advertise on TV, lobby the local authorities, and spend billions on marketing. There's more scrutiny on advertisements for cigarettes and alcohol in the US then there is on gun commercials. There are more rules around owning a drivers license or a car than there are on owning a gun.

That's why things have gotten much worse in the US in the past decades. The rules haven't changed but the number of guns has. And given the percentage of people with guns and the percentage of people with mental issues, the Venn diagram of those two groups intersecting produces a percentage of armed homicidal maniacs at a high enough frequencies that stuff happens. Simply put: when millions of assault rifles get sold, a few of them are going to end up being used by exactly the type of people you'd never want to own such a thing. Simple math. There's nothing mysterious about that.

I'd probably want to own a gun if I lived in the US. There are war zones that have less casualties per year than some cities and areas in the US. I think Kiiv probably has better statistics than Chicago in the last half year or so. That, or it's alarmingly close. Combat medics actually get trained in hospitals in in big cities in the US. If you work in the ER in Chicago, LA, etc., you are going to get plenty of practice. Every day. So, yes, I'd probably feel a need to defend myself in such a place. I'd be part of the problem.

However, I don't live in the US. I live in Berlin, Germany. I feel safe here and feel no need to own a gun and tough luck if that weren't the case because it's pretty hard to get one here. It's not a perfect city and there are occasional incidents involving gun violence just like everywhere else. Generally if you see a gun you are either in an armed robbery, looking at a person in uniform, or in the country side with people responsibly handling their legal guns while hunting. The first happens but not very often. Most crime does not involve guns. And when it does, the sentences are steep, the guns are typically small (easier to conceal), and highly illegal. Anything involving illegal guns is not cool with the authorities. People in uniform discharging their arms is generally involves lots of paper work and scrutiny. More so for civilians with permits and legally owned guns. Getting permits is not super easy and keeping your permit requires sticking to the rules. So, that narrows down the situations that can escalate considerably. It still happens but not very often. Same math, different variable values.
I feel you are on to something. I think that on top of those other things, the last straw is that the U.S. society is much less integrated. My neighbors have said 3 words to me the last 10 years I lived here (moved from Europe). Where I come from the whole town would know the troubled kid, would either step in before the bullying got really bad, or sure as heck would not let the kid buy a machine gun.

Maybe the problem with the US is that the society is just too free. Or not enough churchgoing.
Automatic firearms are basically illegal for personal ownership in the US.
Kirkbride Plan
My thoughts on this... Considering the purpose and context of the 2nd, it essentially protects a contemporary citizen-soldier's "kit". The stuff he/she needs to join up in common defense with their community, which includes survival gear, protective gear, and of course, a weapon.

Today's citizen-soldier would carry an AR-15 or variant. If there's one modern gun protected by the 2nd, that's the one.
This stresses me out
https://iographica.com/ is a similar application that makes prettier pictures. (Anti-aliased rendering, more sophisticated visualisation that maps ‘mouse stops‘ of different lengths to disks of varying sizes, and maps time to colour.) Hacking Karbon to teach it similar tricks could be a fun project; maybe Pycairo would be suitable for better rendering?
It doesn’t follow that just because _you_ have never thought to use guns, that nobody else will think to use guns and therefore guns are not the problem. Even if 0.01% of bullied people think to use guns that’s still many shootings. There will be disturbed people in any society, the question is how to limit the damage they cause.

In the UK we had one school shooting (conducted by an adult), and after that very strict restrictions were put on gun ownership. A similar case happened in Australia.

The fact that it is still controversial whether “guns are the issue” shows that the US has not yet begun to grapple with the issue.

There are a ton -- in general flexibility, wealth of enterprise-grade resources and support, community, speed of improvements and rock solid operation.

For just one real concrete reason, postgres's extension ecosystem is second to none, AFAIK.
I have no doubt we've increased the per capita, especially unregistered in recent times.

Maybe we could try, I don't know, literally what Australia did after their mass shooting?

Heck, if it doesn't work, feel free to have all the guns you want. But can we at least fucking try to change it?

That's for cars on the lot. Your article says nothing about pre-ordered vehicles. The ID.4 I ordered is MSRP because ordered it months ago. Similar for a pre-ordered Mach E from people I know who have bought them that way lately.

The dealer markup for cars on lot sucks, that much I agree with, and that's down to the power of traditional dealerships and and of course supply and demand.
Gun deaths in the U.S.: 10 key questions answered
> if the supposedly intelligent HN can't arrive at the conclusion […] what chance do the rest of the US have?

Honestly, probably not much worse odds. HN may be knowledgeable about computers, but there’s a big contingent here that doesn’t want to be told what to do, and doesn’t care whether other people get hurt in the process. And once you adopt that ideology, it is all downhill from there

Probably didn't want Trump to organize another coup
two recent examples :
Trump pushes the ATF to 'redefine' bump stocks as machine guns - thus illegally creating a new law.

Biden bans ammo imports from Russian - the main source of 7.62x39 ammo - one of the most common rifle rounds in the US. This massively spikes the cost of ammunition.

Biden has also pushed the ATF recently to start more shenanigans with redefining things in relation to SBRs, Pistol Braces, and Supressor parts. It remains to be seen what effect this will have.

I can tell you aren't a gun owner of course but you might still find the ATF interesting. Basically they 'reinterpret' things as they see fit and thereby things that were legal become illegal (but almost never the other way around). Its a work around as they are basically creating new laws - however that is not legally a power assigned to them.
You could falsely negate a bunch of things by claiming it's premature optimization if you expand it's definition to mean thinking in advance.

That being said I agree with you that interfaces for literally everything is a bad idea. Especially depending on interfaces everywhere, given that it's often quite nice to know concretely what some piece of code is trying to do.

The original post isnt super clear to me regarding how often the author actually recommends using interfaces. The examples used are for storage backends in projects like Kubernetes, which most people would probably agree is a pretty good context in which to utilize interfaces.
This is a problem of responsibility. Regardless of conditions, ultimate responsibility for a child's education is with the parents. This notion that it is the governments job is backwards and dangerous. Teachers don't love my children. Administrators don't love my children. I love my children. Anything someone might claim is love, doesn't hold a candle to a loving parent.

Taking responsible for education doesn't mean you have to do it all yourself. You see that it happens and accept the personal cost.

Your assumptions about me is not only wrong it's irrelevant. Not only do I have more experience raising children than any two men you are likely to know (I have many), I've lived among much much poorer people than 99% of hacker news. In places that struggle with running water and electricity to say nothing of Internet (none).

You're feeding me a bunch of excuses. Yes, some people struggle and it can impact their ability to do it. But where there is a will there's a way. Good parents find a way, it has much less to do with wealth and much much more to do with good family structure - which even poor people can do perfectly fine.

Cause and effect are often reversed. You aren't going to have good families because you are wealthy. Families get wealth when they are good families.

When children are well loved and have good characters they will prosper. They will understand good families and tend to have good families themselves.

A lack of love creates behavioral problems that can dominate a life and can easily be passed into the next generation. A society centered around school life will not provide children with love in a life devoid of it.

Society can't fix the problems at home but it can certainly stop getting in the way.
This isn't obviously the case (if you consider gun homicide, which is arguably more important since strictly more people are killed than just in mass shootings):
