I read this kind of thinking a lot lately, people trying very hard to come up with solutions that don't address the main issue. Just guessing, you already own a house?

The fix is to enable builders to build enough housing, and not just single family detached housing, by removing regulations which allow NIMBY-ism. At the same time, prevent investors from hoarding houses and jacking up the prices. I find it similar to scalping GPU's and reselling them for more money, which was a common practice in the past few years during the chip shortage and crypto mining boom. This kind of investment provides very little value to consumers, and in my view only serves to extract money from the poor to the rich.

It is hard to believe a flying reptile existed, was common enough to have inspired myths about dragons around the world, and yet somehow left behind no physical evidence whatsoever.

Particularly when you consider how many creatures get lumped into the "dragon" taxonomy. Not all of them fly. Some of them fly, but don't have wings. Arguably, not all of them are even reptiles.

It is very good for productivity when many jobs are concentrated in one location.

This unlocks the possibility for serendipitous connections. It is awesome when you can meet a founder, a leading engineer, an investor, a designer and a PR person in a coffee line, forming a new company before finishing your morning coffee.

Talents concentrated in one place gives significant boost to their productivity. This is called a "proximity bonus" in video games; building dependent factories in the nearby slots gives them the productivity boost. This is what US is missing by being nimbyistic.

I think we should return to the 1950s ideas of a futuristic cities and invest in building giant arcologies, where entire Earth population can move if they want to, and where the least paid McFastFood worker would afford to buy a minimum apartment.

This is true. There is no evidence that we're on track for a state in which money is meaningless. Rather, the evidence is strong that we're on track for one in which money represents one's share of the corruptly attained and corruptly retained asymmetric state services called "property rights" [1] and in which labor (of value approaching zero) has nothing to do with it.

Without a complete overthrow of corporate capitalism, we're going to regress to the state of medieval Europe and many of the poorest, most corrupt countries today, in which there are people who have money and there are people who work but it is impossible to get meaningful money by working.

[1] Please note that there's a distinction between personal property and private property. You're not an asshole for wanting people not to take stuff you need for personal use, such as your car and your books and your toiletries. That's personal property, which is a different thing. If we take this reasonable idea, though, and run it up without attention to how it might behave at scale, though, we run the risk of enabling the kind of nightmarish private property that afflicts countries like the US, inevitably leading to extreme inequality, intractable political corruption, and metastatic governmental dysfunction.

Back in the real world, I think this is the Achilles heel of machine learning. A company has invented a tool which has non-deterministic outputs. Said company is also liable for the outputs of said tool.

Inevitably machine learning is going to break laws (already happening) and then the owner of the ML instance is going to get sued for damages and have to think twice about using ML. One of the options will be to just turn off the ML, phase it out etc. which everyone still has the ability to do and that's one of the reasons we're not in Terminator world and probably won't be soon.

> but the key difference would be that it's an open market

It's not really, though.

Banking is also an open market. You could already start a bank, and some people do. But it comes with a bunch of red tape.

But you can't just say "this is blockchain, so red tape is not required". That's up to the government of the countries you operate in.

And if it looks like a bank (or financial institution), quacks like a monetary transfer or financial product, then why would it not get customers like one, and not be regulated as one?

This was already the case. Wall street invents financial products all the time. Credit default swaps, anyone?

That is 1 reactor for 5000 years, or 5000 reactors for 1 year. It really is not much hard data in the context of regulating hundreds or thousands of reactors for decades. 5000 hard drive years, wouldn't even inform a hard drive failure rate.

I can't speak for the trackpad. When setting up the laptop I found it to be ok but I only have 2 occasions of using it for 20 minutes (2 different laptops) which isn't enough time to really evaluate it since so many things can be hit or miss with trackpads. The people who use it do use an external mouse, mainly because using a trackpad is too foreign to them.

Both Lenovos are IdeaPads that were purchased a few years apart. The latest one wasn't to replace the first one, it was for someone else. The first one is still going strong. I had forgotten I even picked a Lenovo the first time around and ended up picking the same brand / model when researching "what is a really good budget'ish laptop for general computer use".
You did prove my point.

You've only had your computer did a year and it's lost over 10% of it's lifetime.

Plus since SMART is only an estimation tool, it would probably be a good idea to replace the hard drive before it hits 50%

So if your usage, you're going to probably get nervous and replace your MacBook within 5 years .

At least with laptops, and cell we've phones have sort of accepted. This is the deal.

There's no reason for a stationary object, to have a hard drive welded into it. Not even game consoles do this.

I wonder why.

What is the fascination with "low" tech? Why indeed is there a
"low/high" distinction in technology? What does that even mean?

Is there a mirror of high-low culture? Or by "hi-tech", which became a
popular description in the mid 1970s, do we just mean at-scale
industrial technology?

In that case is "low tech" a counter culture, a populist movement, or
loaded with anti-capitalist considerations? Is there really a case to
answer that older technologies which are more efficient, humane and
sustainable are pushed aside for lesser but more profitable forms, and
that our notion of "progress" is distorted? Or is it all nostalgia and
rose tinted glasses?

> The fix is to enable builders to build enough housing, and not just single family detached housing, by removing regulations which allow NIMBY-ism.

This is the short term fix, and I completely agree with you.

The long term fix is, aside from letting local governments make minor regulatory changes to facilitate denser urban construction, to simply do nothing.

Cities are expensive. People will (and are) moving away from HCOL areas because of this. Businesses are adapting (e.g., with remote work) to hire people living in MCOL and LCOL areas. At the same time, new economic agglomerations are springing up in these areas to support growing populations.

Given enough time, two things will happen. Many of these MCOL and LCOL areas will become more expensive. Some will urbanize. Some wont. Second, eventually, people living in the areas that don't urbanize will realize that they actually would enjoy living in a HCOL area. And the cycle will continue.

This is a very very early project but mostly I think it'll be interesting to see how well they manage to utilize type annotations and how well the Clojure ecosystem provides this? (ie, is general Clojure code mostly untyped or is there enough for compilers to deduce most actual types?)

Why would this be important? Well because they are relying on LLVM for optimization, and while that's good if you know type info (via annotations or lower tiered profiling), there's a lot of code to start using this and those optimizations can be fragile.

If you read the articles posted here in the past year on the Erlang JIT they mirrored this sentiment, earlier "advanced" JIT attempts built on classic static language techniques like LLVM prefers failed because they didn't have enough type information, whilst the "simple" JIT that mainly removed overheads and concerned more with local types was showing good promise without too much engineering headache.
You earlier wrote "Debian et al act as quality filters by only actually packaging the stuff anyone cares about or needs."

I think you omitted the important qualifier "as long as there's someone willing to maintain the package."

As I tried to demonstrate, there weren't enough people using my package on Debian to maintain it. I believe it's useful, so 1) why not, and 2) what should happen next?

In that case, I expect most people will download and install the wheel/tarball from me. I distribute the most recent versions of chemfp from my own web site, not via PyPI. I have a URL structure following the Python Simple Repository API, which lets people 'pip install' it directly. This certain seems easier for any of my users than going through the extra steps of packaging it for Debian first, such that I don't see why they would do the extra work.

(Or, with the source distribution, avoid pip and untar/cd/python setup.py install.)

To be clear, it's not like you're wrong. Indeed, many people in my space use conda, a software distribution system which supports Linux, macOS and MS Windows, and allows multiple environments each with different sets of versions and dependencies. And conda supports channels, which allow oversight and review, eg, see Bioconda, at https://bioconda.github.io/contributor/index.html .

I've been trying to understand what "Linux-style distribution" means.

I think you mean third-party vetted package distribution, yes? Because otherwise "Linux-style" seems to cover a lot of variations, from Debian-style ones requiring a long-time vetting process to become a Debian Developer, to Bioconda (and nixpkgs?) where the vetting process seems easier - perhaps because Microsoft/GitHub help with the vetting?

If so, wouldn't that "vetted software distribution" be a more clear phrase?

(FWIW, my first package manager was 'inst' on IRIX, which could be used to install non-SGI contributed packages, so I think that's also a "Linux-style distribution", yes? Even though Linux didn't exist at that point.)

But even then, these don't solve the problem of what to do if there isn't someone willing to maintain the package or worse, decides that package X shouldn't be supported/updated even though others find it useful.

While unvetted systems don't have that gatekeeper problem.
Need to give the article author a lot of slack! If you are here, please read some more about networking :-).

Networking is dynamic it takes many sequential steps to configure. There is no ZAP, it is done. I don't know of an OS that locks out "user programs" until configuration is complete. Yeah, since networking is dynamic that could never work -- "user programs" would be locked out forever!

At the start of the First Test there are packets going to non-tunnel locations at the same time the VPN is being set up, not a surprise. Packet ordering / routing at this time granularity is also not surprising.

Need to take a moment to review the "drop everything" when a VPN is up standpoint. OS Networking stacks don't really understand what a VPN is, it is just an endpoint to route packets. A TCP connection has internal state that is bound to the addresses that were used when it was set up - which is tied to the state of the routing table. A new point-to-point endpoint, like a VPN would invalidate that state. Most (many?) TCP/IP stacks keep a cache of the initial route on the socket. As long as that is still valid (or updated), that is where the packets go. Killing TCP connections for every (temporary) network flap would make a lot more people MAD.

The "DNS" to NextDNS with DoH connection is interesting. This 100% isn't coming from iOS itself. It doesn't support it. So it must be coming from an App. But what app and how? There is a NextDNS app which up front claims "Encrypt all DNS queries on all networks with the official NextDNS app for iOS". The author does appear to have configured the router to use NextDNS, perhaps they also have that App installed as well and it is also hijacking networking to do DNS? A dunno.

The "flood stuff" is interesting, but I think it might just be an attempt to perform STUN to make sure UPD traffic can be transported - to Apple endpoints. I think "second test" is the same thing happening again.

So what is left is the traffic being sent to apple endpoints. Now I wonder how the VPNs the author is using are implemented. The Big Sur VPN brouhaha was because apps were trying to implement a VPN using NEFilterDataProvider instead of a "tun" interface and routing. I wonder if this is just the same issue but on iOS.

Not related, but I do wonder what these VPN services offer in terms of "Firewall" protection or if when you use them ALL ports are forwarded to your device. This would make all of their endpoints a "great target" for continuous scanning for getting inside a network if the VPN user had something misconfigured, like say an experimental Apache, Nginx, PHP, Rails, Django, MySQL project. Doh. Methinks I should spend some currency and experiment. Sadly black-hats are probably already doing this.
> No, you're just delegating those capabilities to some completely unregulated random actors instead.

It's a question of trust in the end. Telco providers not just in the US but across the Western world have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted: traffic manipulation, DNS hijacking, selling data to the highest bidder [1], engaging in open corruption to prevent competition, predatory sales tactics, fee scams, peering extortion [2], misappropriating government funds [3] - name the act and you'll find a dominant ISP having done or still doing that practice.

VPN providers generally don't have that baggage attached.

> This assumes that their shady bullshit is discovered by someone. I would bet good money that the vast majority of it isn't.

I agree, but at least the incentives are aligned completely different than with ISPs. The large ISPs can do whatever they want, even breaking the law, because their consumers have no other choice - rural ISPs will get competition from Starlink soon enough, but people in condos? They're stuck with whatever the landlord offers, and the landlord won't care even if there is competition as long as the monopoly ISP pays higher kickbacks.

I think ThinkPads are so commonly used because they're durable, but most of all, because their keyboards are probably one of the best among any laptops.

I can vouch for Linux in laptops, I've been running Debian+xfce (recently switched to Debian+lxde, for maybe slightly less ram usage) on my Acer Aspire One for probably more then 10 years now! It's my go-to machine whenever any hardware needs testing, be it networking or just a printer.
I'd strongly advice to use pip freeze as you might end up breaking your requirements.txt through typos / syntax issues or wrong versions eventually. It enforces standardized listing of the dependencies as well and makes it easier.

However, I'm using poetry since a while as it makes it easier for me to just focus on development and don't hassle with virtualenvs, broken APIs (pip search) and manually keeping files in sync.
You're right, I'm using lz-string to compress the text before shoving it in the URL. This is definitely a necessary evil for the time being so I don't need a back end component to the app. But eventually I do want prettier URLs and collaborative editing if I can make that work without it bankrupting me or driving me insane.
Nothing will change while the homeowners have more political power than the renters.

Even in the cities where the renter population is bigger than the homeowners, such as in Seattle, half of the votes come from people of > 65 years old (all of whom are homeowners, likely more than one home). Young people simply won't vote at all.

There is very little incentives for the young people to vote. Even if you cancel all the regulations right now and allow for unlimited constructions in the cities like Seattle, SF of NY, one will need about 10 years or longer to build enough apartments for the price to go back to affordable (which is 2-3 years salary of an average worker in the area). So the after-next generation will profit from the effort of the current renter generation.

Nevertheless, I think young generation needs to engage in the politics with the uncompromised goal to crush the housing price, to prevent the economic collapse of the "rich" world and prevent entire Earth from sliding into the dictatorship. Such is life.
