It's crazy that we've kind of been capable of this for almost a decade now. You can buy all the parts to make an artificial pancreas, and use open source software from GitHub to get them to talk to each other, but none of the biotech giants want to put the parts in a box and sell it as an artificial pancreas because the liability would be insane. One little firmware glitch could literally kill a ton of kids in their sleep.

It's not really authentication. Rather, a way of saying "yeah, I agree to the terms yadda yadda". Seeing how there's no other way of handling it right now, they're using what tools they have

> But you missed my point. All those perks of living in a city are great, if you need to be there to earn what you earn. without that, the high cost of living simply isn't justified.

I am not missing anything. I just deeply disagree.

City life is enjoyable in and of itself. I don’t live there because I have to for my work. I live there because I find it inherently better than living somewhere else.

If I was living in a normal city and not the capital of my country, it would not even be more expensive than living in the countryside. It would probably actually be cheaper. Gas is expensive here and our cities are built like proper cities.

I think you are projecting your value on the situation and conclude that cities are doomed. Personally I think we are just going to witness a shift away from cities where life is expensive towards cheaper cities.

If a game treats children badly without explicitly condemning this treatment, it violates these morals.

Fallout 1/2 had Child Killer perk, but that didn’t stop EU from banning it until children were completely removed from the game. I think it was one of the first precedents. In future Fallouts they were made invincible and always fleeing from attacks. Video game studios are often on the verge of bankruptcy, nobody would risk that in the name of anything.

GitHub has a public option for repositories which would have allowed anyone to see the source code, but instead EpicGames wanted to collect more private information on anyone that wanted to see the source code, and now they have a PR problem because of it.

good article.
my questions now is how can we avoid over-plannings and under-plannings?

a lot of time I feel like the diminishing return of a planning is pretty steep for many situations but it's hard to tell how much time we should spend for the planning beforehand. (this is a planning for planning and maybe this itself is over-planning lol).
That's marketing, not browser compatibility :)
Quit years ago. Their support is horrendously incompetent, and if I want to buy Chinese products I go to AliExpress directly. With their prices, not the adjusted ones.

Most of the services provided by the city are provided precisely to manage the problems created by the city. You don't need complex wastewater sanitation and management if you don't have a thousand people living in one building on top of an acre of land. You don't need a subway to get around wide open spaces.

The services I was referring to though were private services. Bodegas, burrito shops, dry cleaning services, taxi cabs, all of these go out of business if office workers don't walk or drive by them en masse daily.

I agree over-regulation sucks but let me give you a counter example.

A friend of mine who was very poor (single mother of 3, blah blah blah, lots of bad choices mixed in there). She took her broken car to a local "good guy" who ran a repair shop out of his house. He was a veteran, single father which he traded on heavily-- but he had no idea what he was doing. He broke every law there was, from waste disposal to licensing to code/zoning to required practices for mechanics (such as written estimates).

So my friend hasn't had her car for months and this person can't fix it, and he is running advertisements on craigslist to sell it. I call him up and say, "You've failed to fix the car, whats your time worth on this one?" He hems and haws, saying he's put thousands into it (and hasn't fixed the problem). I tell him "not my concern, I'll fix the car myself, what do you want?"

He then threatened me mentioning that he was an ex-marine. I told him I didn't care, that I would be presenting all of this to the police in the morning and having him arrested for conversion if at all possible. His tune suddenly changed, and $80 would be acceptable for services. He immediately called my friend who owned the car and tried to extort her for a few hundred dollars.

I eventually got the car, I recognized the symptoms immediately-- bad crank shaft sensor-- keep in mind, I'm a software engineer. I took it to a trusted shop and the whole thing was resolved or $250 and in 4 hours. He'd been trying to diagnose it for 3 months. Replacing parts in the car because he didn't know wtf he was doing, and then trying to charge the customer for his ignorance, and trying to extort them, and trying to defraud them.

I turned him in to every agency in California that enforces these things, and he was forced to at least obey the law, which meant getting a shop.

I'd love to say this all ended up well, but the antagonist in the story abruptly died. The poor SOB had a heart attack and that was that. I send a few hundred bucks a year to his kids. The real victims in all of this.

Stories like this are why we have regulations.

Similar thing happened at uni when I was doing a PhD.

The graduate office had some sort of mailing list which included all PhD students (or maybe even graduate students). There was maybe one mail a year to this list.

At some point someone replied to the list (don't ask why the allowed everyone to post), they want to be unsubscribe, trigger a torrent of emails of people wanting to unsubscribe, people telling people to use the link on the email, people asking why they get this email, others telling everyone to stop replying (the irony). It was a study of human psychology.

The whole thing lasted a week, I think in the end somebody was competent enough to restrict who could write to the list or maybe they just nuked the list.
You specifically singled out "construction unions".

It seems you've presented evidence that construction unions don't have big say, compared with industry and realtors.

If construction unions have a bigger voice than realtors ($2.3M) and building industry ($1M), and that voice is reflected in "where the money comes from" then ... how much did the construction unions contribute?

All of "Building trades" is $84,165.

The biggest groups under "Other unions" are "Opportunity Pac - A Coalition Of Teachers, Health Care Givers, Faculty Members, School Employees, And Public And Private Employee Organizations" and "Nurses And Educators For Reggie Jones-Sawyer For Assembly 2020, Sponsored By Labor And Consumer Attorneys Organizations". Those don't sound like construction unions.

Right? If you've never lived on a farm you don't know what rats are.

The wort thing is, if you can kill the rats in your barn, you create a power vacuum for the rats around you to invade.

It's a maddening problem.
There are other rules. Always yield to pedestrians. Two cars can sometimes go at the same time if they're not on a collision course. If pedestrians are blocking the person whose turn it is, you can go instead. Order is based on arrival time, unless there's a lot of cars then it's yield to the right if you're unsure.

These rules combine in such a way that it's genuinely unclear who should go in some situations - the above rules might contradict, or you might need information you don't have cause you got there after something broke "the order". But if you think it's your turn and start to go, people will let you, and ultimately no one gets stuck forever.
Ad hominem attacks are not welcome on HN, and if lookup my HN profile, I'm about the last person anyone would ascribe as being a cultist.

I've seen a lot of unusual tech and trends win when they "shouldn't." I've seen "first they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win" over and over and over.

I don't personally care if crypto wins or loses or if today's crypto goes to infinity or zero, and I especially don't care if greedy speculators lose their life savings after everybody told them so.

I had to turn off my paypal.me because I naively picked a number for a username and people kept putting that number in the send-to-username field and sent me free money, which they always tried to refund later, getting me stuck dealing with PayPal's customer service through no fault of mine. I would explain to them that I didn't ask for the money, I do not want to keep the money, and I am not accusing the sender of scamming. Sometimes I was able to refund instantly but depending on the sender and payment method, PayPal had to get involved for weeks of back and forth.
Masters of the opium trade: the fabulous wealth of the Sassoons
Agree.

The place I work had diverse companies in a 'tech park' - Amazon, Google, and many others inside a gated office space, the total population of which could easily surpass 10K.

We used to have a common and very vibrant food court, even though each company used to give free cafeteria food, employees used to walk to the common food court for variety - of both people and food.

Also, since there was so much traffic of well paid, propensity to spend people, office park operation office used to arrange for paid fun stuff during lunch hours, which used to lend lot of colors to dreary office days.

During Covid the food court vanished along with all fun activities (consequently all those people who used to run those). The company cafeteria obviously closed as well and even when it has started now, they are pale shadow of earlier operations (less staff, owners of food counters working as staff).
I think some dashboards are meant for some form of situational awareness. At least "I can see when something is different" ideally even "I can recognize if everything is going well".

For those purposes it is difficult to answer 'what will we change' and even harder to automate the process.

People always take stuff too seriously…this is cute in a weird internet way. To loose your mind over such a thing is not good
The Metaphysics of Morrowind (2010)
I have access to a small airport that's an hour flight to a large one. The logistics of going somewhere for leisure are only marginally more difficult for me, and even easier since I don't have to navigate a small city within a city with a million people in it and traffic to get there and all that. And for the most part I have plenty of leisure around me, I don't have to fly anywhere to see wide open spaces for example.

Health care is a special exception for me since I live under an hour from a couple of big hospitals and I live in a state with a lot of hospitals all over the place. But all that really shows is that such a system can be made without heavily concentrated population centers. That perk is a result of how things are now, not how they have to be.

Cultural access... I see this mentioned alongside diversity and what not, do you mean brown people? If I were right and there were a large deurbanization trend, wouldn't it follow that the diversity would go with the diaspora, since the diversity is just people?

Public transportation is largely a solution to problems created by cities. You don't really need a public transportation system in a less densely populated area.
That’s a nice setup, but it probably won’t work in Germany, as Germany requires freelancers/sole traders to work for >1 clients. Otherwise it’s labeled as sham employment and everyone gets into trouble. There are dedicated startups like remote.com or Deel who go around this by actually hiring people according to local laws, paying their social security and filing paperwork, while the real employer covers all costs and transfers “salary” to their bank account.
I don't quite get the mindset here. I'm (slowly and lazily) learning a new language, and can't imagine going into some native speaker's repo and trying to correct it...
Yeah. Also their real names and them being immature and getting angry also went out to 400k people and is now effectively part of history. That's probably even worse than being the kid who did this, what if a future employer comes across this?
The market is way too fractured for new artists to reach a level like ABBA or U2 or the likes anymore (with few exceptions). Modern artists seem to build their "brand" on the "1000 true fans"-idea where musicians or authors only get deals once they have a build in audience. That's the reason most artists take to social media in one way or another

Before the internet there was a handful of major music labels and a dozen music magazines for example and those made it possible for relatively few artists to build lengthy careers and people seem to love the idea to stand with 20.000 other people in a arena and listen to the same music.

I am too old to decide if todays artists have it better or worse but one thing is sure: A lot more people can live off their art today than thirty years ago. But with that goes another thought: That back in the day only the cream made it to the top and had a chance to stay there.
Educational/wholesome entertainment resources for children/young adults
I'm making a list of educational/wholesome entertainment resources for children/young adults (e.g math/logic puzzles, knots, intro programming projects, Sherlock Holmes stories, LotR, growing avacado trees from seed, ant farms, youtube video on building a home, stoic philosophy, how to play the piano, etc).

Do you have anything interesting to add that you really enjoyed?

Thanks

Although I didn't actually say that SpaceX has sued ULA, they have sued both of ULA's parent companies over the EELV contract circa 2005, as well multiple lawsuits against the government over bids they lost in 2014 (EELV block buy) and 2019. They also filed multiple protests in 2019 against NASA over the Lucy contract, but dropped them all when they got awarded DART. Another time, they even sued a NASA consultant because they believed he was allegedly talking mad shit about a rumored F-9 anomaly
I guess one could also refer to the beauty of Lisp REPL, 1961, with the added benefit of having a proper debugging facility and structured data.
>The author is suggesting replacing a bad plan (everyone discuss each intersection) with another bad plan (just drive however you like).

The author is suggesting replacing it with the normal rules of the road, which are as close to not planning as possible (following basic heuristics like go on green). The example in the parable didn't have "unjust" stop signs or traffic lights for a reason.
New writer asking for advice, regarding writing on Medium. Am I doing it right?
TLDR; I'm not linking any of my stories, profile, etc... Asking for advice and suggestions only, regarding blogging and Medium in particular. I had 35k views in the last 30 days, should I keep writing and pursue the partnership program? How much money can I earn?

So, a few weeks back I wanted to start my blog on various tech and software engineering topics. I wondered why not start writing on Medium, and I'll see how it goes there, before starting my own website, blog, app, etc.
So, I started writing on the 15th of May. My first reads started bumping on the 19th of May.

I got much more response than I expected, so I'm wondering whether am I doing good, or if this is just average for new writers.

Stats

In the last 16 days - I've got 34k Views - 10.3k Reads - 310 Fans
I have a total of 171 Followers.

I wrote 22 Stories - some of these were just experimental stories, so they didn't perform at all. Most have under 400 Views, some even less than 50 Views.

I have some Stories, that perform really well or relatively well.
One with 18.1k Views
One with 7k Views
Two With ~2-3k Views
One with 1k Views

Personally, I didn't expect this amount of views and reads even remotely. I average around a 40% read-view ratio.

Publications
The two stories with the most Views (7k, and 18k) were performing really well even before I submitted them to a publication.

The other ones started performing well once I published them in smaller publications, which have ~10-50k followers. The decent one with 7k, I later on published in one quite big publications on tech., on Medium. It has 650k followers.

The story with 18k views is published in a small publication, but still generates a decent amount of views, reads, and comments daily.

Topics

I mostly write on the same topics, and my audience is mostly evenly distributed between these tags: Programming, Technology, Software Engineering, Science, and Data Science.

I'm just throwing this out here, as another stat.

--

So Reddit, can you please give me some feedback on this?

How good are my stats? I'm unfortunately not from a country that Medium supports for their Partnership program. Stripe is however supported, so I know there are some workarounds - but is it worth it in my case? I heard it would cost you around $500 on Stripe, to get a business that can then be approved for a partnership or something under those lines.

Would that cost be justified? How much could I earn with these stats?

Also, what I was planning is to create my own blog, website, and app. I'm a developer, so I wouldn't need to spend a lot of money, except my time, on this. I thought I'll start linking my Medium, Blog, and App together, that should increase my reach I think. Is that a good idea?

Any suggestions, please. Should I go for Medium partnership workarounds, should I create the blog in combination with Medium, or should I even consider writing only on my blog without going through the Medium partnership hassle?

Thanks!
I wonder if wfm in the UK has significantly impacted newspaper readership from the drop in commuters (particularly the Metro, which is targeted at casual commuter readers) that proprietors and editors - and their flying monkeys in the government, including the Prime Minister - are writing thundering columns in their papers denouncing work from home as some kind of apocalyptic threat to the economy in general.

Oh I don't think the performance is bad, the JVM is an amazing technological platform, but it uses a lot of RAM, it's GC pauses are bad for latency, and the Scala/Java/JVM ecosystem is simply not that high quality as Rust's. (See all the security issues, log4j2, jdk ecdsa rewrite, just to name the few that come to mind in the last few months.)

And for TS I don't think I have to mention the quality of the underlying JS ecosystem :)

On the other hand, of course Rust is still on 1.x, GAT is still on the roadmap (though the RFC recently entered into final comment period (or how it's called), yaay!, and then a bunch of legitimate criticism was submitted..., so it might still take year(s))
It often can be. But a slightly wider point of the article is that figuring out a more just process is so harmful that 'equality' turns out to be the least unjust.

And that counts even if you assume everyone is honestly participating rather than selfishly manipulating the system. Once you take that into account the least unjust approach quickly becomes equality.
Apparently human psychology does need some dependence. Even with somewhat unlikable people it is better than complete isolation.

Why do we need record labels today, exactly? We don't have to spend tons of money on recording studios and equipment, on producing master record, on replication, logistic from factories to music shops. Music is just to be recorded on $100 mic, mixed on $1000 laptop and uploaded to several streaming services, that's all.
Generating class files is an optional compilation mode in Clojure. You can also load bytecode and define classes without involving files on the JVM, which is what eval (used by the repl) does

https://clojure.org/reference/compilation

(also see the eval definition at https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/clj/cloju... - it calls into the compiler).

The JVM could still just interpret the JVM bytecode instead of JIT compiling first of course.

Python is also technically compiled like this
Even if the author gives you permission to download, build, and run the software, you might also need to buy a Qt license. AFAIK your choices for Qt are GPL or the (fairly expensive) commercial license. Since the software isn’t under a GPL compatible license my understanding is that you may well be obligated to buy the commercial Qt license.
I like that it's a bash script only - there was this bash-based Docker reimplementation, so maybe these two fit well together?

But come on, how many levels of abstraction do we want to pile onto another? Namespaces, containers, Docker files, compose, swarm, k8s, helm, cloudfront, terraform, auth servers/OAuth, ad-hoc "REST" auth kludges, dynamic languages, distro- and lang package managers/ecosystems, blabla - because IT'S SO MUCH EASIER LOL. All of which are one-of-a kind snowflake solutions to self-inflicted problems on top of an O/S that is already highly portable, for good reasons. We're just kicking the can down the road, or alternatively, blow up cyclical/generational bubbles to trap freshmen and idiots. Cloud tooling seems like a zero-sum game at this point, wasting talent for three "cloud providers" to make loads of cash. The whole thing is antithetical to humanist, local-first, site autonomy principles in the name of growth for very few.
