I think we can probably mostly agree this is the national government's fault one way or another. But for me it is complete irrationality to assume we just need to give more money to them and have the government fix it.

The government has been siphoning money from the UK population at an ever greater rate while redistributing it to very large private organisations. It won't change by voting in some other bunch of cronies, they're all in the pockets of a great unelected one way or another.

We need to wake up to the fact we all live in a facist oligarchy which is impossible to avoid when we let governments get this large.

This doesn't make sense; nothing comes "by default" on Arch, but evince is in the official repos as far as I see.
I wonder if this also relates to police officers. One of the problems seems to be that society doesn't have the right leverage over their behavior. Some are heroic and some give the profession a bad name.

That misinformation is a problem doesn't make censorship a solution. By the time you have to shut people down from saying stupid things you're already far gone down the clusterfuck path. (and that's assuming the 'misinformation' is true false&harmful beliefs, not just whatever idea that contradicts the fashionable Current Thing.)

Let's say that people think MD5 is a good cryptographic hash function. The worst single possible thing you can do is ban-hammer the promoters of this idea away. This is extremely dumb "Kill The Messenger" thinking, the promoters of those idea are exposing real communication problems (namely, the use of "hash function" to denote roughly similar concepts but are also very different in very important details). What you do, if you really think this Md5-is-cryptographically-secure problem is serious, is that you treat the success of the promoters of this false idea as a measure for how hard you failed to communicate basic cryptography to software devs. Do a modification to your education\media ecosystem, then measure how successful the false prophets are, if their success goes up or stays constant then you still haven't addressed the real problem, if it goes down then you're successfully fighting "misinformation", repeat till you drive their popularity to the ground.
I often wonder how much better the click through rates are for Steam than the ad industry as a whole. I’d estimate that I typically click on at least 4-5 ads on the steam home page a week. I actively enjoy scrolling through them to see if there’s anything that looks interesting to me.
In this context, "guns" probably means cannon, not small arms like rifles or pistols.
Since there is no update shouldn’t the headline have the year?
This is the most annoying part of rejection. They won’t point to anything specifically, but continue to send vague summaries of the issue. If you’re staring at a plist file and there’s an issue, why not just tell me you found an issue with the plist? It’s infuriating.
By “showing comments led” do you mean showing comment points/votes? Also, if comment viewable comment points are gone forever, then the “popularity” filter should be removed from HN’s search and the old voting data removed from the public API.

To me, if users have concerns about “unfair voting” to me the solution is not to hide them. Also, if comment points aren’t important, why even allow them? They are obviously important and if a users is not available to respect guidelines not to complain about them, what’s difference between that an guidelines related to comments about being downvoted?

What I find interesting is that we seem to perceive the App Store Review process as some kind of black and white thing, while it isn't. Like a pure function that only works with the input variables provided and no side effects. Guess what, there is an actual human on the other side that is reviewing your app (with support of automation tools obviously). That person will make mistakes, will bring his/her own opinion and might not be consistent and often won't be very elaborate. Kind of refreshing actually.

Interestingly, that's probably how most customers are handled by many of the submitted apps, if at all.
If the US government (or any, really) makes that unattractive, then I am all for it, regardless of any innovation aspect. It’s like Samsung double-dipping by making its smart TVs gather data about their users. This should be illegal.

> you're the only commenter I've so far seen in the thread who claims that their pensions are enough to make up for their salaries

That is not true, given that I was replying to you, and you were replying to the person that said _this_.

> Counterpoint: teachers' pay is great, it's just backloaded in pension plans.

That being said, in some places the teachers make good money when you include their pension; in other places they do not. It's not consistent across the country.

> You're talking as if "choices need to be made" doesn't extend to the question of whether or not they get enough tax dollars total

That was not my intent. My intent was to indicate...

If you think that teachers make enough when you include their pension, you can't complain that their pension causes a hardship early in their career; because the choice of a pension is likely not something they'd be willing to give up". If you think the pension causes a hardship earlier in the career and that that needs to be changed, then either 1) You do _not_ believe teachers make enough including their pensions, OR 2) You think pensions should be done away with (which I doubt will be supported by the teachers/union).

"Good morning-cycle citizen. Your publication contains REDACTED which you have to remove because you are not allowed to mention it in your security clearance. Good day-cycle."
I don't quite understand why this many specific reasons for failure have been recorded. Sure, there's equipment failure, technical problems, etc. but then there's also "...a broken windscreen on the train." which surely falls under one of the earlier two?

Then there's also:
* a fault with the on-train signalling system.
* a fault with the radio system between the driver and the signaller.
* a fault with the signalling system.

plus 2 more copies of all of the above with either "earlier on this train's journey" or "earlier today" appended.

I mean, don't get me wrong, as a public transit nut I love all the information I can get, but over here in The Netherlands itd'be very rare for the automated voice to give any reason more detailed than "a defective train" or "disruption on the tracks" and I can't see why beancounters at ScotRail wouldn't have come to the same conclusion.

It's a feeler (IMO way more descriptive than "doorknob") that lets you bail if you don't want to talk. Without it you may feel obligated to listen or have to be slightly rude. With it you have a range of options like "swamped on this project, catch up with you later" or such depending on circumstances to avoid straining a relationship.

In async communication it's unnecessary though, people might do it by inertia.
This provides a great mental model to build awareness / be more sensitive for the social cues during a conversation.

> There is no known cure for egocentrism; the condition appears to be congenital.

Which is why I can't see why this is suggested as an independent issue that should simply be accepted, without additional reference. The lack of doorknobs, if you will.
?

clearly free speech is not an absolute right in the US, as evidenced by the endless court- and government-sanctioned infringements of it.

so, it's not surprising if another bit is, especially as abstruse as "why can't a company host source code that is enabling money laundering by North Korea"
One of the things I don't like about Github is that, while they do list languages used, they don't have a section for listing dependencies. Some (Ok, many) projects don't list dependencies and assume we're all OK with so many that we don't deserve to know and are expected to just pipe a URL to a shell to install them all.

We need more projects like this, because many of us would like clean, reproducible environments that won't be in dependency hell every few years when an update to one dependency isn't compatible with updates to others.
Origin is so bad that nobody would ever install anything but an exclusive from there. I would rather install a new App Store.
I have thick fingers (physical labor produces those) and the mac short-cuts are really not made for guys like me. Yes, i can change that. But still.
Wow, thank you for this rich and thorough follow up. Interestingly, in the present C++ standard, 'mutable' indeed is a storage class like 'register' while 'const' is a CV-qualifier. I thought it quite odd that 'mutable' isn't a CV-qualifier (the standard leaves this gap open) and for nonmember variables, my patch makes it a CV-qualifier; otherwise it remains a storage class specifier.

WRT lambda changes, I have no particular timeline for this project as it's something I took up on the side. Pointers kinda break any data flow analysis that could be done. For example, imagine an object that serializes itself in one translation unit and is deserialized in another using a different class (this is somewhat common in telecommunications code. Imagine a struct Header { ..., void end[0]; }; which is used to handle messages of variable length but with the same Header types).

Java does just fine without goto (or have they added that since 2010?).

I think code that is intentional is more effective than code that is accidental. That said, I'd rather suppress the unused parameter warning with the '#pragma diagnostic ignored' mechanism than use a cast mechanic that just happens to address a compiler issue.

Thank you for the great list of rules! I agree with them all. Minor nit: you can't use static_cast to cast away constness.
Theres also videos of modded GTA V that the makers of said video says “overheats their 3090 (can’t confirm because I don’t own a 3090).” It seems pretty striking, at times, at least to me:

MacOs has VoiceOver built-in, which is free.

Poverty is a better analysis than political lines.

Most of the best school districts are in purple districts. The worst ones are in heavily red or heavily blue districts, largely correlating with poverty.
New York and London are also international financial hubs, and don't seem to have problems with people being gay. I'm not sure we can blame investment banks for this one.

I'd have to agree with OP, it does seem to be bad faith, because the entire time, instead of discussing the proposed changes at face value, they seem to try and ridicule it as if someone says that 2+2=4 is racist, yet they don't quote anyone actually saying that or anything.

I've read the whole article you linked, and I'm no smarter in understanding what the problem is, and the suggested changes are which they're making fun of.

Here is something I don't know about the gasoline business and maybe someone could enlighten me. In my city, gasoline comes out of a pipeline (pretty sure that's it coming out of the ground in the linked Street View) and goes into giant tanks labeled "Regular Gasoline".

https://goo.gl/maps/dZSTF4ziis16iMy36

How is product differentiation done here? I assume it goes into the tanker trucks unmodified and they unload at the gas stations. Where do the high octane, etc. additives actually get added? At the pump?

Also this is a multi-mode pipeline which sometimes carries gas, diesel etc. Presumably when changing modes the stuff goes into the tank labeled "Purge Tank" during the transition. What is done with the contents of this tank?

Nature is one of the world's most prestigious scientific journals, and it is read almost exclusively by scientists.

It is not exactly a secret that science itself supports more left-leaning ideas than right-leaning ideas (depending on what exactly we're talking about and where the Overton window is at a point in time or at a specific place on earth). I think this has less to do with whether left or right is fundamentally right or best. Unfortunately, a lot of what passes as "the right" these days is just... a bit crazy. Of course they had to take a stand for Biden, the only other choice was a lunatic. Love him or hate him, one thing Trump is, objectively, is a bullshitter (in the academic sense of the word). And scientists really just don't like bullshit.

If you get the feeling that Nature is politically biased (and I mean this in the usual everyday person sense, because of course any politics that affects science will be met with strong views), I think that should serve as a signal to check what your biases are.

Remember that the people reading this are all the top experts in their own fields, so you can bet they'd love to write back and argue if some editor wrote something stupid. It simply is the case that the publication is of exceptional quality, and that for the most part, people who read Nature are not people who care about political nonsense.
For anyone curious about this approach, I've posted an excerpt [1] of the shared Python + SQLAlchemy + Postgres code we use to handle pagination at my company.

The name "cursor pagination" is super confusing given that "cursor" is an overloaded term in databases. I always call this "token pagination", given that the APIs I've seen usually call the value a token.

Have to be careful there. A jihad against duplication means that poor-quality scans will drive out good ones, or prevent them from ever being created. Especially if you're misguided enough to optimize for minimum file size.

I agree with samatman's position below: as long as the format is the slightest bit lossy -- and it always will be -- aggressive deduplication has more downsides than upsides.
>I've literally looked for things that I could reasonably expect to be on the Internet and couldn't find them on the Internet.

Everything is in private communities now. Almost all the content you can think exists on usenet, but all the good indexers are invite-only (and often pay to play. My usenet subscription + the yearly fees to various private trackers was just a little less expensive than Netflix (up until the most recent price hike).
Initially I agreed with the headline but the content of the article was almost entirely not what I was thinking.

To me, cars are getting a lot better recently. Parking cameras and all the different warning systems like lane changes or rear end warnings are really useful. It's much easier to park a large SUV in a tight parking spot than it used to be, and cars seem to be getting safer as well.

Almost none of this is due to CarPlay or Android Auto, though, which are the main ways Silicon Valley is affecting transportation. CarPlay seems fundamentally limited - it's nice to listen to Spotify or podcasts in your car, it's nice to have integrated maps, but no other apps seem to be mattering much, and even interacting with a touch screen isn't a great experience because it's so distracting. If anything more of the interaction with CarPlay should be via scroll wheels, which some cars do support.

The stuff this article refers to - public transportation, Uber, self driving cars - none of that is really making any difference right now. Maybe it'll get better someday. 90% of Americans have cars, 5% commute on public transit, most Americans never use Uber. Cars really are improving with technology though.
It's seems notable that all three of those examples are sports related. At least in American society (the only one I'm familiar enough to speak about), I think that sports culture is a way better example of breeding egoism and "us versus them" orthodoxy than academia. I agree that the dynamic isn't exclusive to Big Ten universities, but I think it's reasonable to argue that the esteem placed on sports in the Big Ten (and other high-performing D1 universities) is what enabled these abuses to happen. Any time an institution is revered enough, whether it's a sports team or a religion or something else entirely, there's a chance that someone involved will take advantage of the status to try to get away with something due to the lower amount of scrutiny.

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.

Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.
The same thing is frequently true of Japanese video games as well, often seemingly arbitrarily costing several times comparable titles. I'm quite curious what drives this "cultural" phenomena. It seems almost certain that their price:demand curve is messed up to the point that lowering the price would result in increased revenue, but they seem very content to stick with this system - apparently outside of games as well.

Anybody with any insights into Japanese culture/business? I've always wondered why this was, or if it's something as simple as inertia.

That's what Steve Jobs did. Got featured in the Ashton Kutcher movie.

When he screams after getting hung up on--that's the 150th call he made that day. They were rude as shit with him. That rejection is too lightly touched on.

And it's like a club for a novat after you ask every girl to dance and nothing, then go ask every girl to dance again. Wander. No validation. Get their contempt.

He didn't add up to shit in the eyes of VCs. Nothing. His resume was just...and he didn't have chapitas, badges of eg graduating from the right schools, and then a smooth up-and-to-the-right career trajectory that had to trace an exponential curve. Dropouts were nothing then, like you could open up a photo booth be a hippie or yes be an inventor--sort of in the late seventies, very limited, not open to everybody by that point like in the 1920's.

VCs only got more open-minded by people like Jobs--him more than absolutely anybody--opening those skulls with the rippling effect of figurative kicks to the ass. Missing out. Getting bounced. And for a few with already open minds, absurd riches.

Work the club.

There is always influence. One can never separate it and become a truly, wholly non-influenced person, society, or country. Muslim traders in the 1400s spread their religion throughout Southeast Asia because they wanted to influence their customers, and customers converted because they wanted better deals from those who would deem them of a similar faith. That is the same process here. If a country doesn't like such influence, such as Japan with the Dutch, they can ban it.

This data is REALLY hard to get. For me to do it, I had to go line by line through the budget.

For example, all the classroom aids are typically assigned as teaching costs. But the reality is that they are assigned to individual students with IEPs (individual education plans), ergo, they should be categorized as special ed.

Same thing in pulling out transportation. Or tuition to other districts. Admin dealing with special ed grants and recordkeeping. It goes on and on...
