> I think Democrats at the national level underestimate how much inner-city Democratic mayors, city councils, school boards, and district attorneys determine their image as a party.

No, they don't. Whether they are actively fighting it, meekly bending to it, or crassly exploiting it for intra-party power games (and there are clear examples of all of those among nationally prominent Democrats), national Democrats understand very much how those things, and even more the right-wing media narratives around those things, drive opinion.

The internal dominance of the center-right faction of the party for the last 30 years has been built almost entirely on exploitation of this.
Fun :). It would be interesting to see how accurate one could get the time records (I see a TTL of 1 second, but what if the algorithm for reporting the time could try to measure latency between DNS client and itself and . . . yadda yadda yadda). Wish we had more submissions like this one.
Yup this is my thinking also. It isn’t a hard concept imo people just like theologizing about why they’re special

his statement isnt denying climate change, its just saying short term freaky weather happens. And people often use short term weather within statistical bounds as evidence of climate change when it is mor of a long term thing that is statistical to measure.

Read his statement with the missing nod to consensus "while climate change is real" at the beginning.
Does it make a convincing case?
I am in awe that so far eu politicians are still reluctant to move back to whatever fossil fuels exist in the continent, and instead still push hard for the unachievable fantasy of an emissions-free europe. When is the renewables revolution coming?

Well the energy transition better be over by October or we're in for an unfathomable crisis here in the old world.
Exactly. They're a small deviation from the norm.
I'd at least like the choice as to whether I want to spend those 90 minutes with my colleagues, friends, or family, though...
It's a symptom of our mentally ill society trying to rationalize why in 2022 we haven't solved a bunch or practical problems and yet every year we get new iterations of the IPhone, AI in cars, new services in apps, ect... We start from an idea that Moore's Law somehow correlates with social progress but I think that tremendously remains to be seen. There's a noted relationship between teen suicides and social media (on phones) and one-for-one computing in education hasn't produced the generation of Einsteins and Mozarts that it thought it might in the 70s and 80s. I think crypto is the human imagination trying to bridge the gap between our social arrangements and technological progress and I think at its core that is a good thing. We need to dream big if we're going to build a livable world but that also requires discipline and that's something we're severely lacking in society.

I think there's a sort of person that thinks to themselves, "I want all the benefits of living in an advanced society without actually being obligated to participate in said society." I can't help but think this is a kind of sickness. Self-Determination doesn't necessarily exclude social obligation it only dictates that I might not be tyrannized by these obligations.

There's a kind of, "e-person" who is the perfect Cartesian. The new existentialist who reaps the benefits of a globalized society and what is their sacrifice to the world-machine? --Just their continued existence; nothing more.

Without being crude we used to call those people tramps until Charlie Chaplin taught us to be nice to poor people.
Mostly relevant if if you have small children playing at the beach in an area known for Riptide. Sneaker waves are a big issue if you're doing things like fishing from a Breakwater like tide pooling and don't know how to swim.

I think consideration of the environment you're putting yourself into is vastly more important than constant vigilance

In my highschool maths grades were always 100% based on tests.

I get the idea of motivating students to do their homework failing them when they test perfect doesn't make sense.

I like it when the homework allows the students to skip questions on the test. That way you reward the work but still let's the students catch up if they didn't do the homework.
While I think I can see where you're coming from, I will say as a personal anecdote that at this point I do feel that I can intuitively reason about the data at play quite easily, and no longer ever find myself running into any confusion about which method will be called (I don't think I've even had to check my intuition on this point with `@which` in over a year) -- but it did take me about two solid years of using Julia for a serious part of my time to get here.

It is, in my view, a fundamentally different programming paradigm that most of us have no previous built-up intuition for (unless perhaps you have spent lot of time with languages like Dylan or perhaps CLOS). But it is something you can learn and develop intuition for like anything else.

For those still learning, I may also mention `@edit`, which will not just show you the method, but take you directly to the source code of the method being called -- which is something that remains quite useful even when your intuition is fully-developed.
If you dont care about warranty you can pick up cisco voip phones dirt cheap on ebay.

Deviations in agreements is not a thing exclusive to China. Agreements in international politics are made for a purpose. Perhaps to keep peace, or to protect some interest, etc. If the situation changes such that that purpose can no longer be served — especially if that purpose is an extremely important core interest — then any country will seek to deviate from agreed upon behavior.

For example, the US clearly agreed on the One China Policy but they are now changing it. Because the US no longer values the original purpose that the One China Policy served.

So the question "will China renegade on its agreement or not?" is best answered with another question: "What is China's core interest? What purpose does an agreement serve to China?"

It is unfortunately here where big misreadings happen. Popular western understand of China says that China does things because they are "authoritarian", "expansionist", "power hungry", etc. But a true analysis of China's interest would show that one of China's core interests is territorial integrity, defined largely by the territory it had inherited from the Qing empire in 1911, and the Republic of China in 1949. China's policy on territorial integrity has not changed since 1949.

We may not always agree with China's interests. Maybe they conflict with ours. But properly understanding those interests will at the end of the day surely yield better outcomes than misreading China with stereotypes.
Relatives dealing with inflation and salary rise
Hi, I work on IT as, I think, 99% of the readers. That was my main field for the last 20 years.

So, for me, working in a tech field and in a inflationary economy was not a problem. I ask for a rise to pair that, if they don't want to give me that, I move, period. It is easy.

The question is, how is your no-IT family, relatives, friends dealing with that? It is harder for them? How they approach the problem that, at the end of the month, their salary is less?

My question comes from my own couple, she is an occupational therapist, and the field is not unionized, and managed by nearly 4 big companies. Almost no rise for the last 14 years and when I approach my solution is obviously not applicable becaus the context.

Thanks
It's fascinating that this whole post is flagged?
Hard agree. As a community we need to stand up for our freedoms and stop using Node for any kind of application, since it's always inappropriate. I'll take you one step further and say that every instance of JavaScript usage is also unnecessary, even for an 'interactive' frontend (spoiler: most people don't care about interactiveness, just look at comments on this site).

As a fun story, I was working in Node with a senior developer with 4 years of experience who wanted to use a library for a trie, instead of simply building one. Can you believe it? I fully implemented one in a half day to show my colleague how unnecessary it was, and we actually found a few issues with the library that my one didn't have.
Because TSMC still contributes to the manufacturing 90%+ of the semi conductors FOR the whole world. AFAIK, Samsung which is one of their competitor too uses TSMC. So touching Taiwan is an automatic trigger for the entire world. You saw what the pandemic did to the semi conductor industry. Now imagine if a war was happening there. The world could just stop. Literally. Like firesale in Die hard 4. But in universal scale. That was not the case with Hong Kong. And the world is not going to shut up and be silent if this happens.

While the EU, US, India, Australia are all trying to change this semi conductor status quo by building their own manufacturing facilities, it is not easy as I understand it. Am guessing it would take at least 5-10 years to have full fledged production facility in the scale the world demands if this needs to be changed. That is if really wanna be Taiwan free with semi conductors. Which I doubt the world will do. But hey with M1 and RISC-V, there is a whole new future waiting for the semi conductor industry. So who knows what will happen?!

I agree for recent history at least. With that said, recent releases also haven't brought life changing changes either, so the incentive to upgrade remain low even if it's mostly painless.
This is an emotionally-manipulative, inflammatory comment that shouldn't be on HN.
>You weren't connected to the rest of the world 24/7 through constant internet access on your phone.

Yeah. It depended where you were of course. But until about at least the late 90s, especially outside of large cities, you were pretty much totally disconnected from friends and family back home. And while you might find out about the most important events, you were mostly pretty cut off from routine news as well.
I'm not trying to argue with you, I admit I don't know and am just trying to understand. The OP wrote:

for nearly all of the term of a Canadian mortgage, your monthly payment is much lower than the numbers calculated above

So how can a Canadian mortgage (or series of them in 5 year increments) be paid off in 30 years just like a US mortgage, if the monthly payments are much less each month?
I kept reading after it: even without it, it had already seemed very clear to me this person had a religious, not a rational, belief in the AI's sentience. With it, plus everything afterwards, it just seemed even more clear. I think none of his colleagues or supervisors are taking him seriously because there isn't anything to take seriously.

It definitely does open interesting questions, though. Google's ethics team should formally investigate ways one could interrogate and analyze an AI to determine the probability that it could be conscious.

I mean, compared to caffeine alone, if you take a bunch of L-theanine and caffeine, you can literally feel the difference. With high doses of caffeine, the effects of the L-theanine are strikingly obvious. All the anxiety and jitter just fades away.

I also agree with what you're saying, though. The levels of L-theanine in green tea are way, way lower than the supplements I use, and I've literally never noticed any similar effects by drinking green tea, but I do think it's possible that the effects do persist at such low doses even if it's harder to measure and not as blatantly obvious.

There's probably a reason Buddhist monks choose to drink it - they're far more in tune with their mental state at any given moment and are much more likely to notice very subtle effects on their consciousness.
What on earth are you on about? I said nothing about per capita productivity or quality of life. I said I'd rather have more free time at home instead of an additional hour of lunch time.

I don't understand why this is so controversial - you compare the cost of the owned car to the cost of alternative way of doing whatever weird and wonderful requirements exist - if there's literally no other way then call it infinite.

I don't think anybody and certainly not I ever said 'a standard taxi or bus will do for everybody in all circumstances'.

To me it's a helpful comparison to make (even though I'm not very good at obeying its advice) because I have the need so little that however exorbitant a taxi or hire car might seem at the time, it beats year-round insurance, tax, depreciation, etc. hands down.

(I obey it in the sense that I don't own a vehicle, just not in justifying taxis as readily as I ought.)
> Yuck. Of course it creates more productivity, they're sucking free time out of my evening and injecting into my work day

Here's the thing: a lot of firms consider lunch working hours.

I was confused by the practice at first but in tech oftentimes there's a lot of technical discussions happening. And since the French are more hierarchy conscious than Americans, lunch represents a break where ideas can flow more freely.
I'm single too... I don't see the relevance, though. You don't just have to like working. You have to actively decide against doing much of anything else. If you are working ten hours a day with no weekend, or 14 hours a day with one, you're going to be exhausted for the rest of that time.

You can fit working out in there (~30-60 min a day, plus travel time if you don't have your own equipment) if you're willing to burn the candle at both ends like that. At that point you will have committed the overwhelming majority of your time, and if you try to add anything else to your life, any kind of unexpected outing or emergency, or even just waking up one day and not feeling up for it, will have to come directly out of the time you've budgeted for your work and health.

What I find offensive is indeed the rhyming without consideration of what it means in the source language. I find myself not too sensitive or PC, if my name was “Lecoq” (or if I had an Asian friend named “Phuk”) I would of course find it okay if an English speaker had an innocent giggle, but not if they took that more seriously and wrote that down as a public joke to shame me.

I remember reading ESR's blog a decade (or more) ago where every single technical advancement was going to lead to Apple's doom. Every new competitor that popped up was going to lead to Apple's doom. Every legislative initiative was going to lead to Apple's doom. After awhile, I stopped reading his blog because despite a lot of good insight in some areas, his cheerleading for Apple's Doom had clearly created too much bias in his judgement for me to take anything he said seriously.

Apple will eventually be overtaken by another company at some point, but there's a world of journalists and pundits who continue to cry wolf every day.

How is Portland even growing. Last time I was there the roads were simply not enough. I can't imagine 11% growth over there.
I think the anti-mall narrative is generally misplaced.

Suburban malls were a mitigation of sprawl but are somehow viewed more as a direct symptom. Strip malls continue to thrive, and the form where there are residences atop the commercial storefronts does little to improve the need to flit from parking lot to parking lot like consumerist pollinators. In Austin, there’s a huge amount of development at the mixed-use outdoor Domain, some calling it a second downtown. Yet, the thing is peppered with crowded roads. And, it does little to escape triple digit temperatures. It isn’t much of an improvement.

Enclosed urban shopping areas have been around for a long time, from covered arcades and indoor markets to underground malls in cities.

The PATH system in Toronto and RESO in Montreal create decentralized malls that are also ways to navigate a city on foot. Their creation was likely due to harsh winters more than concern about pedestrian traffic mixing with vehicles. They are, admittedly, kind of ugly and sometimes claustrophobic, but they are functional. I know there are underground malls in Manitoba cities for similar reason, but have never been.

I love transit oriented developments like the little villages along the MAX light rail in Portland, but I don’t think there’s any where near enough momentum to spark a fully transit based pattern of development like there has been in Japan. (Some possible reasons/differences are covered in https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235214652...)
Most of the crypto-enthusiasts I’ve met in the real world seem to be motivated more by narrow-minded self-enrichment rather than a genuine belief that society can be reshaped to serve humanity better. The more ideological ones seem to be driven by an arsonist’s enthusiasm for destroying and subverting existing systems rather than an architect’s enthusiasm for building something better.

I can appreciate the potential of the technology, but that doesn’t mean I embrace the community.
Imagine if all of the U.S. States were taken over by a revolutionary movement, establishing a new Capital in Nowhere Kansas, and the only remnant of the Old United States was Washington D.C.

D.C. would basically be Taiwan in this analogy. Everyone else in the world knows the U.S. through the Government in D.C. It ain't perfect, but it's the most accessible I think I can make it.

I don't think they were making an anti-trans comment, you're right though, people should be allowed to wear what they want and others mustn't abuse them for it.
I lived in a subway like you describe. The slightly newer suburbs didn't have sidewalks, and had non-leveled, unmowed (easy to twist your ankle in your 20's) green space moats between each housing subdivision and shopping strip mall.

The poor folks had to cross a narrow, 4 lane car bridge to get to work. There was a bike fatality on that bridge every six months or so.

This was in a city with above average transit and bike trails for the US, but most housing was still gratuitously car dependent.
but what?
Awesome idea and already with the requests lol: Would it be possible to add the resource records as subdomain of dns.toys?

I am not sure, but I believe at this point they think it is environmental as a best guess? Everything else has been looked into if I remember correctly.

In this comment section? Are you talking about stuff like the example I used earlier?

<p><div></div></p>

Yes, obviously this is bad and nonsensical HTML. Under no circumstances does it make sense to have a div inside a p. In fact, the above doesn't even work, being parsed as

<p></p><div></div></p>

But the intention of this example is not to show good HTML. The point is that many people have only a very basic understanding of HTML syntax, under the impression that

<foo><bar></bar></foo>

works for any elements, because there's a <foo> and a </foo> so clearly anything inside it must be inside the foo element, right? But this is not the case for all elements. HTML's syntax is more complicated than that. My example was only intended to correct this misconception, not to demonstrate semantically-correct HTML, and that goes for other similar examples made by other people in the comments too.
Correct, it's hard especially proving it true (or false!).

But you can analyses many aspects of it in isolation, e.g. short term reactions of very young children to subtle subconscious mimic and gestic from people around them. Similar you can somewhat study how trauma is passed onto future generations in some cases. You can also study how can e.g. realize a subconscious fear of the parent related to something then tend to develop that fare, too. Etc. Etc.

In the end you basically end up with many puzzel prizes which happen to fit very well together, but due to the limitations of science you can't prove that they fit. But there is no indication that they don't fit and logical reasoning says it's very plausible so acting on the assumption of it being right is quite reasonable.
>> - 'root is root'; no policy or other bullshit restricting what root can do by default

On gnu/linux there’s SELinux for that, since 2001. Red Hat, that implements security very well, has had that enabled by default since forever basically.
