> Maybe having cameras around makes the average person feel safe?

Interesting point! Attempted interpretation: "I'm a person walking by a house that has a camera, and it makes me feel better knowing there's a recording of what's happening to me … in the event that I'm robbed/harassed/assaulted/etc." Also: no need for an alibi, when there's record of you being pretty much everywhere.

I wonder if anyone has studied whether cameras being present in communities increase the net level of trust with which people operate? I would assume the net benefit would be "everyone's less worried/suspicious, so operates with greater baseline trust."

This feels like similar territory as social media, where we (humans) tend to think the system operates with the same set of rules/principles as normal socialization, but vastly underestimate the scale in which we're now operating.

Who said you shouldn't? The shorthand is convenient. But it doesn't mean what other statements with the same shape mean. A thing which isn't doesn't have a state or representation.

I'm genuinely shocked that you even got them to take prints at all. I've been robbed before and the most police have done is fill out a police report.
It varies. Some companies have 'unlimited' paid time off, others just federal holidays. I don't think there is a federal law governing paid time off. There is a law (Family and Medical Leave Act) guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off though.

As someone else pointed out, some companies still offer vacation time and sick leave separately. None of the companies I've worked for still do, all have combined those into a single Paid Time Off pool.

I am not looking forward to this as a Tesla owner. Not because I want exclusivity of the supercharger network, but because it's going to be a logistical mess.

Tesla superchargers are built specifically to handle charging ports where Tesla places them which isn't true of all vehicles. A CCS car with a port in the wrong spot is going to take up 2 supercharger positions while they charge because the cables are super short.

Tesla also developed their DC charging before CCS was finalized. They are limited to their ~400V packs, so Tesla uses huge amperage to get >200 kW speeds. CCS is limited to 500A, so most CCS cars are engineered to handle at most 500A (and many top out at 350A since electrify america and ionity top out there). Many CCS cars are going to charge slower on Superchargers than a Tesla would, especially 800V cars which are becoming more common. Charging slower means using a stall longer and less availability for everyone else.

I would much prefer my north american tesla was more like a euro tesla and had a CCS port.
I recently started a Rust project coming from mostly writing Haskell in my job and oh boy was I surprised. I was expecting long compile times because of the complaints I read about everywhere. But in fact compilation is very speedy. Much, much faster then I'm used to with GHC in fact.
Really unsurprising, given how Biden had botched the Afghanistan withdrawal and allowed the Taliban for a victory in taking over Afghanistan and has created yet another war by emboldening Putin to invade Ukraine and sat there and failed to stop him.

This is even excusing the amount of chaos he is causing with the rise of prices and inflation that is going on there. Said he 'had a plan' to stop Covid but obviously didn't and did a U-turn afterwards as spoken like a typical politician. The US still has the most COVID deaths and he failed to stop it increasing.

I thought Trump was bad, but my goodness Biden is just as bad if not even worse and the US is no better off. It's not early days anymore and enough chances have been given and it is now very safe to say that Biden is not only totally weak and completely disastrous, but is the undisputed worst of the worst presidents I have ever seen.

There is only one way to reach the mindset of a person like that and that is to install your own cameras on your property and face all of them at his house. Any of them that you can face directly into his windows the better. This may get negative attention here on HN but sometimes a pissing contest is the only way to get through to someone. You already tried the nice approach.

> S-Expression is a 1960s hack to simplifiy parsing.

S-Expressions were invented as a way to write (externalize), read (internalize) and represent list like data structures. The original Lisp design had two different syntaxes for code (m-expressions) and data (s-expressions).

It turned out that programs can be represented on top of s-expressions and that simple execution engines and compilers can be written for it.

Further it turned out that one can write user interfaces which in simple ways can read, write, execute s-expressions. Thus s-expressions seem particular useful for interactive programming.

> you just write a+b, in lisp, it's (+ a b)

Lisp does not care much about that, since much of it was to implement tools on top of itself. Thus some of the first systems who could manipulate mathematical formulas were written in Lisp. Much of Lisp is concerned with all kinds of symbolic notations - some use s-expressions, some are not. For example, the first ML was implemented in Lisp and did not use s-expressions. Scheme OTOH also was first implemented in Lisp and did use s-expressions.

Lisp macros and special forms implement syntax on top of s-expressions - what makes it convenient, is that the syntactic extensions are transformation programs written and executed with the same language they extend. That makes it a very powerful and relatively easy to use syntactic extension mechanism - which is widely used in Lisp.

> but it's not effortless, it's far from the language making it easy for you

Some tools need some learning. Once learned, the Lisp user has access to a language which provides a simple and well-integrated syntactic meta-level level.

"Blew up a planet once"? If that's anything other than blowing up a photograph of a planet, I'd love to hear the story...
>> What you're describing is the pathological case.

I have both children and happened to have a knee injury for several years. That turns a huge number of seemingly normal things into "pathological cases." Ever try bringing a stroller up and down a subway stairwell? Ever try bringing a stroller into a usually crowded bus? Ever try literally anything mass transit related with a child or knee injury? I dont think children are that uncommon here. Sure, if I had a full-time nanny that would solve the problem, but then as I said, its all easy with money.

Also, not sure if you live in the wealthier areas of NYC (read: those with multiple subways), but things magically become easier and easier in wealthier areas. Now try living in a neighborhood with a single train line. Now see what happens when the train just randomly starts skipping your stop all the time and going express. Poor-people problems.

Groceries with a child...not hard.
Groceries in the winter with a child? Hard. Groceries in the rain with a child? Hard. Possible, of course, but its also possible to live in a tent in the forest.

At some point, practical starts to overtake merely possible.
Interestingly in the suburbs, all these things are possible for those on mere mortal salaries. Hence, despite literally having "NYC" in my username I no longer live in NYC.

Finally. Suppose I did get a stuck in traffic job for an hour with a baby in tow on the way to Costco...it isnt really the end of the world...you turn on the radio and spend the time. Its not like its freezing and i'm standing on a subway platform praying the next train is not going to skip my stop while my baby cries from weather exposure or while my knee gives in.

In NYC, the renter usually pays the fee too, but that is simply part of the rental agreement from the landlord.

The person that agreed to pay agent is still the landlord. In times when supply of apartments exceeds demand from renters, landlords have to pay the agent from their pocket.

But the point is that in all cases, someone agreed to pay an agent. The agent did not simply materialize and obtained a right to collect money from someone.

1.5% federal rate when inflation is 9% isn't going to have any impact at all.

Read some of the comments on YouTube or Facebook where the bottom 50%ile congregate. People are hurting bad, especially because of the rent increases.

Now that they've been so slow to act, inflation has a good chance of becoming endemic. Its steeped into services now which tends to be very sticky.
I think it is already too late. This should have been done 5 years ago, at least. There is no financial incentive to do anything in the US, and the infrastructure is worse than at any previous point in time. For this to change, the Federal government should plan and start investing enormous sums of money, at least as much as China did in the previous 20 years. I don't see this happening at least during this administration, which will make this impossible for another 3 years.
Most important step they missed was you probably don't want to be anywhere near NYC during a nuclear confrontation.

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that everyone realized twitter was not worth that much? Or, is it that Musk caused the stock to fall, somewhat artificially, because his disinterest at $44B is being (incorrectly?) perceived as "he's not interested because the company is not worth $44B" rather than "he's not interested because <other>"?

I agree with this sentiment. Line editing is to ASTs as a 4-speed automatic transmission is to a CVT. It is limited only by historical baggage and the power of habit.

> Of course I can install tree-sitter and setup structual editing based bindings but am I really using VIM at this point?

Why would this mean that you are not using Vim?

You are using Vim with a Vim extension that gives you better keybindings. That extension happens to pull in Tree-sitter, in the same way as Atom would. But your setup is faster and consumes much less memory.

Or to put it differently: Vim and Emacs both link to libpcre for regular expression parsing, but that doesn't mean that if you use regular expressions in Vim, you are using Emacs.

That's actually a good point. I'd like to see if someone has done an analysis on this. Factors to consider:

- Whether the recording was intentional (i.e. if I set up cameras for security, and it so happens to record all your conversations on your front porch, this is unintentional, but if I set up a microphone by the wall, it's intentional).

- The type of communication - most resources I'm finding discuss phones and similar channels.

From what I could find:

I just checked one state: Video recordings are fine, but if they capture the audio of the conversation, then it's a violation of the law.

Other places define a violation of reasonable expectation of privacy to require an explicit intent to eavesdrop - so if it's a side effect of my security system, it's not illegal.

In a number of states, your front porch or backyard are not considered private places. If the conversation is between you and someone else (not the neighbor), then by federal law, intentionally recording the conversation is illegal (neither party consented). When it's unintentional, it'll probably vary from state to state.

In most places they can point the cameras onto the exterior of your property. But if it can see inside a bedroom (even if the window is open and no curtains are drawn), it can be a violation.

Interesting side effect of searching for this: Video monitoring of your baby may be illegal!

> This is why I called out the attack on Lightning by association to Bitcoin. Would it, if used widely, contribute to Bitcoin's power usage problem? No, it wouldn't. Bitcoin's power usage problem is unique to the mining strategy for the chain, not the use of the transactions it enables, off chain.

The contribution to Bitcoin's power usage is a bit more indirect. The power usage of Bitcoin mining is capped by how much electric power miners can buy with the block rewards and fees (otherwise, the miners would lose money). The block rewards and fees are measured in Bitcoins, while the cost of electric power is measured in dollars (or whatever is the currency where the miner is located). To convert from Bitcoins to dollars, you multiply by the price of a Bitcoin. Therefore, whenever the Bitcoin price increases, the cap on how much power Bitcoin mining can use also increases.

By making Bitcoin more useful, Lightning Network can increase the demand for Bitcoins. As we all know, increasing demand while keeping the supply the same (and Bitcoin's supply is fixed by its algorithm, it doesn't change to track the demand) tends to increase the price. And that means miners have more money they can use to buy more power to mine Bitcoin.

> I asked them to point their front porch camera so that it doesn't record my front driveway, just theirs. and they lost their shit.

My sister has cameras on the outside of our house. When neighbors asked her to point them away from their houses, my sister also lost her shit. Even when the police came by, she got so upset that the police re-aimed her cameras when they got her distracted.

For some reason people who get involved in shootings try to hide their guns in our neighborhood (there are some unique cars and unique landscaping in this neighborhood). Her cameras have resulted in the police recovering about a dozen guns during 2021 and several arrests when the perps come by a few hours later to pick them up.

I don't have much hope for it, I know several people that worked for amazon lumberyard (it's old name), that have quit because that organization is collapsing in on itself, losing engineers way faster than they can hire, and the engine is still buried under a mountain of tech debt inherited from Cryengine (that real Cryengine has resolved a long time ago)

One quit because the new render was so performance intensive, an rtx 2080 super was min spec for the lightest of scenes to achieve 60fps.

Another because he became the last engineer on his team after all the others quit and moved elsewhere at Amazon.

Even hoping open source saves it is unlikely, as it's only in name. The CI and infrastructure to meaningfully develop it open source does not exist.

> Teaching kids how to use the technology responsibly and appropriately at an early age seems the exact opposite of "batshit insane" to me.

Giving them unrestricted access to phones is not how you do this. That’s like saying that for every kid who wants to eat ice cream for dinner every night, that you’d give them an unlimited supply and “eventually” they’ll figure out why that’s not good (after they’re already morbidly obese and have diabetes).

The starting point for a limitation is that they have to be forced into the limit (by the parents setting and enforcing the rules), which mentally creates a baseline of what’s acceptable vs not. Then you can progress into something that’s less restrictive over time, which is where the shifting of responsibility happens.
