Good point. The theme here is respect for the commitment that was achieved.
Posting articles about a single study are not generally helpful to the lay public. Lay readers get no context, no background on the researchers, no discussion about the significance of the topic. The study might be retracted or the conclusion disproved and we would never be the wiser.

I disagree with this outlook, but wanted to commend you for being straight about it and not trying to cloak your vested economic interest in some bullshit about "neighbourhood character" or something. It's only when we can be honest about the rationale behind these types of views that we can take steps to address the underlying issues.
> Many of the things people want to build are pointless! Lanes are added but commute times don’t drop.

this feels like an incomplete metric to me. if you value getting from point A to point B in 30 minutes, surely other people do too. so you add another lane. now instead of 10000 people making that trip every day, 15000 do. even if the transit time doesn’t decrease (or goes up by a couple percent), that new lane still adds net value?

sure, if adding a lane doesn’t decrease transit time nor increase trips, it’s hard to make the case that it’s an improvement. but you gotta look at both of these things before you make that claim.
I want to see the numbers on this. I have heard of something like this in LA before, but it's literally the only time somebody has come close to providing evidence that this actually happens, and is not just fear.

I suspect it has more to do with racial politics than with density, and goes back to something a lot like white flight and block busting in the past. At least, the LA example I'm aware of was largely because of that.

Al Qaida is a mix of Saudi money and Egytian Muslim Brotherhood know how. It all mixed together in Afghanistan.

The attacks were planned and prepped in Afghanistan, and the Taliban gave them sanctuary/protection there.

This makes Afghanistan a relevant country.

The initial strategy there was pretty good, and yielded good results. But the neocons couldn't resist doing a nation building exercise, and that didn't go so well. You didn't need any hindsight to see that coming.

In regards to WebMidi I believe a previous HackerNews conversation has captured the discussion nicely[1]. Though I doubt these are WebKits only concern. What are your thoughts ?

Are you referring to web speech being the one randomly removed ? I thought it was in Safari but not unless the user enables dictation. It seems it was removed from SafariViewController and web apps due to needed implementation details[2].

I don’t believe PWA’s are a standards but more so a sum of standards depending on the application (for example a game PWA will use more API’s than a non game PWA) so depending on what the PWA is, it needs may or may not be covered. I’d like to the keep the scope of the post limited to specific standards as I believe it would be more productive.

> in 2021 the FDA made it possible and legal to send abortion pills via mail.

Even if that prevails over per-state restrictions, I believe that in most jurisdictions it only applies to those with prescribing privileges. Your average Joe or Jane could get in trouble for distributing them even locally.

Note that I'm not saying people shouldn't do it anyway. Sometimes defying the law is justified, or even a moral imperative. I'm just saying that we shouldn't claim it's legal. People should not be misled about the risks.
Dan Carlin has a podcast episode in "Hardcore History" where he describes the US as a "schizophrenic giant" (though I think he is quoting someone). Essentially he describes the US as being ineffective at making decisions, but when they do, they move quickly and with great force.

The reason why the US doesn't go after them is because if they do, then it will bring to light USA's own role in these attacks.

There's a book by Rothbard, I think it is his "The Ethics of Liberty", where he describes a set of libertarian principles and then how he thinks a society could be made based on those principles. What makes it interesting is that he tries very hard to not have to compromise those libertarian principles, following them even if they go to some places he agrees are pretty dark and trying to explain what would prevent that from happening.

He covers the issue of parents having to care for children and concludes that they would not be legally required to do so. Go ahead and go to Vegas for a weekend and if the baby can't figure out how to survive on its own that's not legally your problem.

His argument for why this would not lead to the large number of baby deaths by neglect that probably most people reading this are sure it would is that adoption would not be regulated in his ideal libertarian state. There would be a totally free market in babies. You could make a lot more than you'd ever win in Vegas in a weekend by first putting your unwanted baby up for sale.

I don't find his arguments very convincing, but it is interesting if you treat it more as an intellectual puzzle than how you would actually set up a society.

I wouldn't ever expect them to fight to the last hundredth at Goodwood - that's why Max's obviously high commitment was sort of fun in and of itself. Having learned today that VW prepared a special ID.R for Goodwood, and based on some of the conversation here, I have to admit that I'm surprised at how seriously many seem to take the times set there. It made some sense with the vintage cars that I associate with being gingerly driven around the track for an adoring crowd, but at the end of the day, there are much better tracks if you're trying to prove something about a new car.
And not just flu, HSV and gingivitis.

Tdap vaccination is also apparently protective. So, probably too chicken pox vaccination, shingles vaccination, and periodic valacyclovir dosage. Maybe even HPV.

For more numerous and granular data points, Eurostat doesn’t seem to measure this below country level, however US Census does. At least, I can easily find maps and papers which use that reference, but not the exact data table quickly. I know I had to grep and visual grep IPUMS dumps with similar projects before.

In the meanwhile, I’m biased to buy the hypothesis and have reasonable trust in the studies Caplan quoted, but a graph would be properly convincing.
Yeah I agree. I was exaggerating too much. You are correct they deserved our attention but not a doomed attempt at civilizing a place that doesn't want it.

The author chooses a great video where Scott Meyer implies that the lack of integrity in the C++ programming language and its decision-making committees causes C++ to be a mess. However, the author's conclusions for Rust does not address the matter of integrity: the author simply recommends feel-good band-aids like "Education" and "Maturity".

I suspect the author wouldn't have written this article if he acknowledged that Rust's decision-making committee lacks integrity.
In 1945 there were 42 workers paying SS taxes for every retiree collecting benefits. For equal pay / retirement income after SS taxes, each worker only needs to provide 2.3%.

Today (actually since 2009) that ratio is three workers per retiree. Each worker has to provide 33%. By 2050 the ratio is projected to fall to two-to-one.

You can find the historical ratios here: https://www.ssa.gov/history/ratios.html

I find the dev experience of Angular very frustrating, and many things seem overly complicated or not very well designed, in my opinion. That's why I would choose something else (anything, really)

However, if it was noticeably faster than alternatives then I would just deal with those frustrations, personally. User experience (including speed) trumps developer experience.
Just W. Northwest Europe has primarily been nuclear families for over 1,000 years. Education, industrialization, wealth and possibly democracy made them more like that but West of the Hajnal line has been like that for a very long time.
You are probably just getting too much anti-YIMBY propaganda from the high level overview. The problem is that developers built nearly everybody's home, yet people want to hate developers.

Think about how much money a developer makes on building something, versus how much more money homeowners make by blocking housing, and you'll be astounded. A developer makes 5%-20% returns for a one-time project, that houses people. This is modest versus annual, compounded investment returns 5%-10% for homeowners/landlords, and those unearned profits also continually take homes out of reach of more and more people. So you can see why landlords and homeowners are so anti-developer, because it puts their gravy train at risk.

That sounds like it's "pro-developer" propaganda, but it's actually just anti-NIMBY propaganda. And perhaps they are the same.

It was a 'shower thought'. I was reflecting on pretty much every podcast or written interview seems to start with the credibility of the guest. Author of a book seems to be the common theme. Creativity, philosophy, innovation that can be expressed in many ways - not only in writing a book. The purpose of my question was to survey what you all on HN thinks. I know my answer. What is yours?
And Tdap, chicken pox, and shingles.

It is not known whether spacing them out is better, for this specific purpose, or all at once. It is easy to invent plausible arguments for each. Only the data can choose.
Thank you for your explanation! That’s fascinating!
There's always one more thing that you need to install to have a working cluster that comes out of the box in cloud.

You want networking? OK, go read about Calico, Flannel, Cilium, etc and choose one. If you didn't fully read the instructions for the networking plugin you plan to use, plan to blow away your cluster and set it back up from scratch with the correct RFC1918 address range for your network plugin that doesn't conflict with your presumably existing network. Plan to dive in and re-jigger things when you need IPv6.

You want a working LoadBalancer? OK, now you need MetalLB or PureLB, among others. Make sure your IPAM people know that you've blocked off several addresses or a CIDR range for K8S dynamic address allocation. IP's allocated via K8S aren't going to respond to ICMP packets and people will assume they're unused :)

You want ingress controllers? OK, well you can pick from Nginx or Traefik. There's actually a ton of them but those seem to be the most popular.

You want certificate management? OK, go install CertManager. You'll need to have programmatic access to your DNS providers if you want to use Let's Encrypt with wildcard certificates.

Oh, you need some kind of volume provider? Well.. there's hostPath but people generally don't recommend that for security reasons. I guess you could use the NFS volume provider but that's a little creaky for all of the usual reasons that NFS has been creaky for the last 30 years. You could go install Rook - but that's another entire complex distributed system ontop of your distributed system. (I love Ceph, BTW- but this is really overwhelming for a new person)

At this point you have essentially a working cluster, probably with a single master unless you set up something like OKD, in which case you already had to setup an entire HAProxy setup before even approaching the K8S parts.

Prepare to have a non-insignificant number of full time employees keeping the plane flying while you swap out the wings in real time to keep up with the fast K8S release cycle.

IMO, the complexity of K8S really incentivizes trashing all of your on-prem hardware and just paying for cloud. That's the end game.

> and unlike Alito’s pretense of research there’s far more historical precedent supporting the collective interpretation going back at least as far as what the people drafting the second amendment discussed when they did so, as well as two centuries of general agreement on that point.

> We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2.

Vacuum packing small grain-like things like coffee beans/grounds or rice creates a surprisingly sturdy result. I'd be surprised if you could actually move much around without also piercing the plastic.

This is true but also somewhat incomplete.

A big source of guns in areas that do have strict gun control in the US is other states. The recent shooting in the NYC subway, for example, was perpetrated by a man from Milwaukee, WI. With no such thing as internal border checks within the US, it would be quite difficult to maintain a two-tier gun control system.
I think my post was unclear. The attack (and rapid wear) were both in the absence of wear levelling (of which capacity variance is a form).

My points, which I admit got lost in there:

1) With wear levelling, write amplification doesn't matter much, since you have nearly infinite life in either case. SSDs fail, but only in highly esoteric scenarios due to going over write limits.

2) The write patterns in the paper make no sense, relatively to real-world usage patterns, or what wear levelling is trying to address.
McLaren actually used them on the F1 (I learnt today) but they overshadowed by all the cars other firsts. Their T.50 has a much more prominent fan, super cool.
Dereferencing a null pointer in C++ doesn't reliably crash, but dereferencing a null pointer in GCC and Clang C++ compiled with -fsanitize=null does reliably crash, with useful error messages, and it is documented to be so.

You are not required to write standard C++. Making uses of implementation defined features is a valid engineering choice.
I mean, a portion of the population probably just simply disagrees with your ideas. They'd rather the car infrastructure actually be improved and expanded to meet the demands of increased population, rather than continuously crippled in every possible way. They're not very interested in having yet another lane of travel removed so that an average of 2 bikers an hour can ride down the road.

Having stuff included does have advantages, but, in my opinion, some of those included things in Angular are really badly designed (I'm looking at you, Forms)

I never use Angular for personal projects, and I have been using TypeScript exclusively for years. I.e. other libraries work really well with TypeScript as well (sometimes actually better than Angular, in my experience)
They might be the same for some animals.

Hey, my answer is actually to eliminate the position and put no one in power. I don't trust all idealists myself, though I'm not convinced corruption is better. But the OP was pinning for the rose-tinted days of yore when great politicians ran for office to do good and not to make money, so I suggested a scheme designed to encourage exactly that.
> No. Not even close. Once developers get into this, they always seek to achieve the highest price as possible.

If only competition was possible, to drive down developers’ market power, so their economic profits were driven down. One might do this by allowing many developers to build, and making the factors of production going into making housing plentiful. One might make building tall buildings legal, or building densely, for example.
The HR recruiter involvement in the hiring process is madness to me. I get that managing somebody through the pipeline is work, and probably a dev isn’t the right person for that job. But having HR out there rejecting resumes is insanity.
I think that's backwards. This is leverage over Biden. The release is timed to shame the administration for reversing their anti-Saudi policy, just as Biden goes over to make amends and ask for more oil to ease inflation.
