Why not both?

Until a few years ago cars where easily classified: Some were driven by professionals and I could see over the roofs of the others, at least if I stood on my pedals. Not any more. Now there's a class of cars that are driven by unpredictable amateurs and are tall enough obscure my field of vision. I find that both concerning and annoying.

Not a fan of Apple, but the sleek silhouette of their devices is accomplished only by packing everything in tight and clever. So, sure, they could give DIYers more room and robust components, but that would make the devices bulky and heavy. So, while I think Apple can be criticized on multiple levels, does not provide excellent self-repair experience is not on my list of grievances.
> What they are trying to deliver and what they are actually delivering are two wildly different things

That's precisely the point of the article isn't it?
Game theory may say that Russia and China would demilitarize, but game theory relies on suitably rational actors who are playing just that game. There are many games being played simultaneously by all participants, if they are playing them. Theory is nice, and I admire game theory. Not everything is explained well or predicted well by game theory. The type of equilibrium and its causes may arise from some other conditions. Perhaps they only demimitarize after annexing quite a bit of newly undefended land. Did game theory explain any of the USA's recent military adventures? I expect the invasion or Iraq had a whole lot more to do with Saddam Hussein trying to assassinate George H W Bush, sometbing George W Bush would not let slide.

Yes, why should EcmaScript pay any attention to one of the most popular uses of the language with millions of people using it every day?
Can you explain more what is half-baked about ES6 modules? To me the logic and syntax of how imports [1] and exports [2] are organized seems clean, but maybe I'm missing something?

Sure the interoperability between things that do and do not (pure ES6) require a build/bundle/whatever, and between JavaScript and TypeScript may remain an engineering challenge, but that's not for the ES6 modules spec to solve, right?

It was a fun read for someone who used to live in London.

> It's taken 20 minutes to get here via seven escalators, two staircases, one ambulatory train ride and one lift. You may quibble that the train ride was a cheat and that a couple of bits weren't technically below ground, but you can't argue with the extraordinariness of such a long artificial subterranean connection.
Did not have that idea when I read the title. Then again, I accept every view of inflation as just another well-intentioned guess as to what that actually is, since nobody can agree as to why we actually observe it IRL.

For me that applied even to the (second?) Zeitgeist movie on monetary theory, which was a very opinionated or even conspiratory view on the financial system, yet that was the model that actually stuck for me: Due to a single interest rate that was once taken higher than zero, there now is never enough money to pay back all debts. AKA there is no money, it just represents some else's debt.
The same could be said about individual browsers. With web standards there is precedent for doing the "right" thing rather than just going along with whatever one product has already implemented and calling it a standard.

E.g. there were recent posts here on HN about WebSQL (already implemented in Chrome so many hundreds of millions of users) being replaced by a design agreed upon by all interested parties rather than just what Google wanted for Chrome and Gmail. Indexdb may not be what everyone wanted of course, but that is beside the point.

There is a place for experimentation and trying stuff out, but just shipping something first shouldn't mean you get to dictate future standards or be guaranteed backwards compatibility or a zero-effort upgrade path. Standards should learn from and build upon earlier implementations and mistakes. They should not be slaves to what has gone before.
I find the underground escalators interesting, not only for their length but for the horizontal part on the top and bottom, which seems as if it'll make it easier to get on and off while carrying baggage.

Nova Scotia resident here, prices are already incredibly high even with the limited options for third party providers. For proper fibre my only option is Bell with a base price of $80/mo (w/ discount, typical rate of 109) for 150 symmetrical. With many people here switching to remote work, Bell knows what’s coming and is eager to continue raising prices.

Most importantly, they have a really strong stance on privacy which I respect.

During the signup, you're asked if you want a connection which is filtered. If you click yes, you are told that they don't filter connections, so if you want such a service you should sign up with another ISP or move to North Korea. :)
Again you are mistaken and wrong. The viruses in domesticated birds aren't somehow different from wild populations. This isn't a breeding ground or the perfect environment for evolution. That's just nonsensical ideas borne of ignorance.

Influenza virus can undergo reassortment where the different gene segments from different su types can combine to form a new virus. Eg H5N1 reassorting with H2N8 to result in H5N8. This is one of the possible cases that can result in HPAI. Such situations happen more in the wild.

The flow of virus diversity is from wild to domestic bird populations.

The article is also about wild birds.

Was going to edit this in but it quickly turned into a related rant about the state of things: if you don't want that, scroll past.

The real problem is that there's no more room for the technological "middle class". We've gotten to the point where you cannot be SLIGHTLY interested in computers, want to make a quick app for yourself, or make something small to share with the world. You either have to have no interest at all (and live in blissful ignorance) or be so into this type of stuff that you might as well just make it a career. In between these two extremes lies a valley of frustration and needless complexity, where everything is always breaking and changing because we found out what was used 2 years ago is actually bad but THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT! because now we found a solution that is totally going to work forever this time. It's exhausting to even think about.

Many people got their start programming with something like messing with simple Visual Basic stuff. I, and I'm sure many others who are reading this, started with a TI-83 and a desire to cheat on my math quiz. I know that I'm going a little off the rails here, and this has become more of a rant than anything meaningful, but I really, really hate how there's quickly becoming no space for that sort of thing - nowhere for people formerly uninterested in technology and programming to get their feet wet, nowhere to make a quick application to accomplish a small task, etc..

> Inflation isn't a fair metric for referencing if wage raises

Arguably this is the only one that the voting public really do care about - the relation between wages and the cost of living is one that historically produces unrest, and that's because it's not related to abstract figures but to each individual's cash flow which they experience directly.

It's also one where decades of political effort have gone into making sure there's no mechanism for people to demand higher wages.

The alternative to printing money would be to raise money through taxation, which is also politically infeasible.
Because the ones surveying the situation and the ones with the most knowledge are scientists. They're also the ones who sound the alarm first.

Weird comment. I mean did you see it as Nature article?
From what I've seen Chinese manufacturers and component distributors built up big stocks when the tariffs/sanctions against China were announced a few years ago. Then when the recent events affected supply chains, they were sitting on decent stocks of popular chips and were able to sell them at 10x original price.

Since then the industry has been in a cycle of:
- Manufacturer finishes a batch of popular chip
- Everybody who uses that chip tries to buy next 3-5 year demand
- Popular chip is out of stock again
This is an important question.

You're saying it's Google who have done this research. In a way that's true. But really it is Chitwan Saharia, William Chan, Saurabh Saxena, Lala Li, Jay Whang, Emily Denton, Seyed Kamyar Seyed Ghasemipour, Burcu Karagol Ayan, S. Sara Mahdavi, Rapha Gontijo Lopes, Tim Salimans, Jonathan Ho, David J Fleet and Mohammad Norouzi who did it, with material support from Google.

It's likely that some or all of these people would have refused to do the work they do if Google kept it all as their secret sauce.

And moreover, there are excellent reasons why they wouldn't want to. It's not just the obvious that if it all were secret, they wouldn't be able to use it in their non-Google career advancement. It's also that research without the freedom to talk is far more difficult and frustrating.

On paper, scientific papers are supposed to document the whole of the discovery/innovation. So you might think that an insider, who got to read all the secret Google research papers AND all the public ones would have an advantage. But problem is, even the best written papers with full code and comments inevitably leave out things, especially of the "why this and not that" type.

If you're a researcher in the free world, you can just ask. Especially if you have a public track record of great papers yourself, they will WANT to talk to you. You can learn so much more from the interactive process of back and forth questions than you can from a static piece of information like a scientific paper.

If you work for a secretive and command-driven organization, you need to be careful about what you reveal of your own research when you ask. You can't talk freely. The thought of having to justify your communication to some old-school IBM lawyer type, is going to chill even the most enthusiastic reseacher. It's easier to just stay in your own corporate bubble, and focus on the things your corporation does well since at least you can talk freely to your colleagues (although in really paranoid organizations like the NSA or old IBM, even that may not be true). But then at best you specialize, at worst you fall behind.
You've obviously thought about this quite a bit... Do you have any ideas as to how projects could avoid this problem?

I noticed moths came up a couple times, a brief guess why: Wikipedia says it's "one of most speciose orders" (besides flies and beetles). But maybe it has the most pages because they are so easy to catch with a light in your backyard, that it's far easier to name them all than something parasitoid wasps [1]?

Although this same paper says that "more species of beetles (>350,000) have been described than any other order of animal, insect or otherwise"

Honestly anyone can have issue, that's not a point. The point is the amplitude of that issue, or why do you FLOSS devs want GH instead of develop more modern Email clients to effectively develop over mailing-lists and why not usenet?

Umm.. MSI has been a thing since Windows 2000, and WiX (and native support in VS) for creating those.
Your gaming setup sounds similar to mine, but more sophisticated. I also have an offline win7 gaming PC. Unfortunately many games still require windows, but for some it is possible already to play on Linux. And it is just too much effort for me to keep a windows installation reasonably secure, to prevent games from phoning home. So offline it is.
To install games, I put the game installer (in most cases bought from gog) on a USB storage device. This doesn't happen too often, I don't have as much time for gaming as I would like to.
Like the sibling comment, I too would be interested in more details about your setup
I’m not sure it’s a safe bet that traditional car company repair options will work well for new electric vehicles. It remains to be tested for sure.

No it doesn't. To have a "stationary satellite", you need to put it in a geosynchronous orbit, which is 32,000km up. With starlink, it's at about 550km up. The latency difference is _huge_. With starlink, you can easily get 50-150ms ping times. With geo satellites, you get like 2 _seconds_. That's completely unusable for many usecases of the internet like video calls or online videogames.
It says quite a bit that when I got started coding (with minimal access to the internet) and not much experience understanding "cryptic" error messages, I was able to compile the Linux kernel and bootstrap gcc without a native compiler on Solaris.

My day job used to mostly be Python. It can be a confusing ecosystem. I teach it to students and I can see the trouble they have. Other languages are different. With C projects, I can mostly get them to work. In fact, it's not too hard to even compile nodeJS from scratch. I've even had some amount of luck fumbling in the dark with languages I'm not familiar with to submit pull requests.

Javscript is a whole different ballgame though and I fully sympathise with John. It's very counter intuitive and even when I've been in the thick of it, I've had to squint quite a bit to make sense of how the ecosystem operated.
> IBM, actually, on mainframes.

Yes, I noted that in my post. I guess I meant general purpose virtualisation running on general purpose, commodity hardware.

Back in the late 80s spent 18 months in a role where I was developing scientific software on an IBM System/36 under VM/CMS. While this system actually had a hypervisor (CP) running on the physical hardware, and itself running virtualised instances of the CMS OS, it never felt (in hindsight) like I was in a virtualised environment. It seemed more like being logged into a multi-user unix box where everything ran in the same kernel - perhaps because the mainframe virtualisation layer was completely invisible to me, and everyone on the mainframe saw the same OS.

But point taken.
> Bear with me for a lesson in Canada’s home internet service. The bottom line is that Canadians have something that is relatively novel to Americans: Many people have options to pick a home internet provider that they don’t hate.

> That’s because in Canada — similar to many countries including Britain, Australia and Japan — the companies that own internet pipelines are required to rent access to businesses that then sell internet service to homes. Regulators keep a close watch to make sure those rental costs and terms are fair.

At least from a British perspective it's not really an option to "pick a home internet provider that they don’t hate." Just like Britain's other fake markets for gas and electricity it's just a single service with multiple alternative brandings you can choose between. Maybe there is some choice of your upstream provider but frankly it doesn't matter since the narrow pipe is between your home and the exchange.

And now living in the internet backwater of San Francisco it's much the same. We have multiple options for DSL! Several alternative providers of the same shitty service. AT&T would even send people door to door promising that fibre internet would soon be available if only I'd sign up now and switch out my current shitty cable internet for a service with 10% of the downstream bandwidth. (If you're lucky enough to be in a street with Sonic you can actually get fibre but for the rest of us Comcast cable maxes out at 30MB upstream on a 1GB plan.)

As a natural monopoly it would frankly make much more sense to simply provide internet as a municipal service.
