That’s anarchocapitalist response.

Ancaps and anarchists have very little to do with each other, actually.

edit: to make it clear, I don’t want to “safeguard” the word anarchism, I don’t really care, I’m not part of that movement. But the anarchists that wrote the original article are part of a movement that take anarchism to mean something, while ancaps make it mean something entirely different.
Neat visualisations and very erudite article. Thanks!

My observation is that the final formula is equivalent to two tetrahedra joined on a shared face. There must be a good way to manipulate that directly to get the constant sums. I can find a way but that requires relative rotation of the second tetrahedron. There might be a better way.
High density housing will not work in places with a high standard and quality of living. It will certainly erode individual rights, create environmental decline and infringe upon privacy.

In developed countries, high density housing will either make the city unbearably expensive(NYC) or bring down quality of life.(SF)

High density is a sign that resources are scarce but demand for them has increased. The sign of a well functioning and professional state is one that has a healthy middle class and enjoys low density sustainable standard of life.

Often the case for high density housing is married to sustainability goals. But sustainability goals exist in the first place because resources are scarce and it is becoming difficult to live in a sustainable manner.

The rational solution is to place a moratorium upon expansion of the city and the population. Only in Bizarro World would the logic of cramming more people even more densely in the name of sustainable design would make sense.

The true scarcity mentality is with governing bodies and elected officials who do not have the vision, integrity or collective access to more than one brain cell. They fail to create networked sustainable communities and manipulate their vote banks.

One might choose to be fair and honest to admit that calls for high density housing is often where successful immigrants congregate due to their employment. Often said immigrants are on work visas and often are not eligible to vote in local/national elections.

Is it a coincidence that elected officials impose high taxes only in certain cities/counties and extract every dollar they can squeeze from a work force who are cuffed to their visa sponsored high paying jobs? The golden goose is slaughtered and well done. Stick a fork in it and let the taxes drip.

There are no high density initiatives in Visalia, CA. Only in Bay Area. Because why build infrastructure and public transport when you can keep taxing those who can’t even vote in the first place. At least in CA, it’s win-win over and over.

Every city that has a highly paid immigrant work force is on the chopping block and will start passing high density housing initiatives. Success must be penalized..it seems. Affordable housing is subsidized housing. And who subsidizes it? The developers will tack that cost to the market value homes. Which would..surprise!..create more unaffordable cities. It’s a vicious cycle that should obvious to most who pay mortgages for all of their working lives.
The drawing is local to your machine, so it doesn't have any overhead over exporting $DISPLAY, and several sshd implementations have moved to fully multithreaded, since at least '08.

The only performance hit is X11 (no different than normal) and the network - not ssh.
A worldwide trend to more left leaning views has been taking place since before ww1. Despite short term localised reverses to nationalism, and rightist trends, a case is made that irrespective of the agenda in teaching, an increase in learning to secondary and tertiary levels is not just correlative to this: the enquiring mind seeks equity, and equitable outcomes more than the adversarial traditionalist ones.

True conservatism, in its purest sense, is not actually about capitalism per se, but a rejection of the assumption that all which is new is better. But that aside, most capital has conservative roots. It is the nature of accrued land and wealth to vest in fewer hands, and to run against redistribution and progressive trends to social equity. Many conservatives love land and nature, hate industry and development despite dependence on it for much of their wealth.

If this worries you, consider how much it worries the Chinese, Russian and like states: they hate progressives every bit as much as rightist conservative trends in the developed west.

Churches display the same thing btw. Young priests have to be warned against populism and progressive ideas in all faiths.

Personally I welcome anti progressive comments. They're interesting. They make me question my own progressive beliefs. I lose far more arguments than I win. In 61 years I have yet to feel less progressive than in my youth. Less revolutionary, perhaps.
It doesn't require a conspiracy for tech platforms to modify their algorithms to promote certain agendas.
Governments can print unlimited amounts of new currency; this provides them a mechanism to distort the markets to reward activities which suit their agenda. ESG is a prime example of that.

Even wars happen in a large part because governments can print unlimited money and hand out huge contracts to weapons manufacturers.
The government doesn't care about net losses because citizens are the ones who will pay through inflation...
So long as the politicians' buddies who head the weapons manufacturing companies can rake in the profits, all is well. But government agendas extend far beyond just wars; they extend to just about every aspect of the economy these days.

Efficient market hypothesis is becoming increasingly irrelevant as government intervention in the economy increases.
You did a good job here of getting DALL-E to produce stylistically connected images. They look like they are interior shots of the same house, and the characters are similarly styled.

Previous low-effort DALL-E works I have seen were inconsistent, with scenes of a sequential story looking completely inconsistent with each other.

You've side-stepped some consistency problems by avoiding character re-appearances.

That's fair: calling it a "non-goal" is an overstatement.

How about: the least-valued of all goals?
This article is more of a literature overview, and it's a book chapter (if I'm not mistaken). The "normal" you refer to is probably an empirical study defending a theory in a journal. That's a different format. First, because there's a clear goal that can be summarized (my theory is right!), and second, because journals give you a much more limited number of pages.
That’s a valid opinion. My point was just that arguing that this change has had no effect on small businesses (except those who are run by ”lazy” people) doesn’t make much sense. But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong, of course.
> a local rapper with a bunch of guns started patrolling the streets at night, some kids got shot, some murals got painted, parts of a field got torn up to make a crappy community garden.

I'm sorry if I'm falling victim to the media stereotypes about your country, but this doesn't sound all that different from the regular news that the rest of the world gets about it.

Well, that thing about the community garden was kind of novel, but unlikely to make headlines outside of a neighborhood watch newsletter.
It's all done using CSS!
The future, hilarious. The stuff on unixporn is exactly what I was into when I was 15 years old. I had the sickest fluxbox setup, transparent terminal, all kinds of neat widgets, completely customized Irssi themes. It owned.

That was also 20 years ago.

Barnard's test gave p < 0.05.

But sure, do enough fine-scale examination of Medieval graves and you will find something interesting. That's kinda the point of archaeology/anthropology.
Could you please write a translator, that would convert into the modified syntax instead of emitting an error?
>The 'can't put old widows out of their homes' scenario is why California's Prop 13 came to be

That's the Prop 13 lobbyist's excuse. In reality, these old widows are never at risk of being kicked out of their house at all. I'm sure plenty of investors would be willing to pay off the widow's taxes in exchange for ownership of the property after they pass.
Except for power management, screen sharing under Wayland and certain Bluetooth headsets
Pictures probably don’t do it justice. Things like that may need to be experienced live.
my answer was everything - you miss the entire computing experience if you use windows or linux on desktop today or android on mobile. In 2022, if you aren’t using Apple you’re in the red. You might as well not have bothered. Windows is worse than nothing. Android is worse than nothing. Linux is awesome for servers, but the desktop experience isn’t quite there.

I’ve used all the platforms. Windows and android are incompetent, poorly designed, serve the user LAST, poorly updated, insecure, spying on you, and annoying AF to use. Worse than nothing. Worse than no computer or phone at all.
While I have found using kanban with personal projects to be pretty beneficial for quantifying progress, there’s something that feels wrong about agile seven days a week between work and personal projects.
Very interesting, but so many things wrong.

On healthcare:

> but has among the lowest life expectancies because the political culture would sooner let poor people die than give them healthcare and welfare.

We die younger because of lifestyle and other factors (basically we are relatively fat and lazy).

On anarchist policing:

> They focus on protecting people rather than property

Property is essentially to human flourishing (not to mention survival). If someone burns down your business, steals your car, or burglarizes your home that harm is felt directly. Only people swimming in luxury can take lightly the theft and destruction of property.
>The overwhelming majority of cases are extensions of palliative care made by people of sound mind.

That's the case now, and I fully support the right of someone who is suffering or otherwise debilitated due to age, disease or injury to end their life with the full support of the medical establishment. What will the outcome be if the law is expanded? Will people who might otherwise survive and live long, healthy and productive lives opt for euthanasia if the course of treatment means huge medical bills that will forever immiserate them and their families? It is one thing to support giving people control over their own lives and their own suffering, and another to create all sorts of financial incentives, for patients, insurers, hospitals and doctors to consider euthanasia as an alternative to treatment.
I feel it's pointless debating anarchy, socialism and democracy on US-centric platforms. Not just here.

Americans are (in general) just super individualistic and assume worst about "others" and usually "don't tread on me" instead of actually considering fairness of any given set of rules.

Sorry folks.

Also, the "capitalist rationalists" make my blood boil. Their inability to decompose complex social mechanisms to their explicit and implicit functions and imagine other configurations due to above sentiments (others can't be trusted, don't tread on me) make all discussions feel like arguing with a 5 year old.
If we prevented all suicides there would be _well more than ample_ precedent of people trying to commit _and being stopped from_ committing suicide and later hating everyone for keeping them in hell.

You can't ignore downsides just 'cause you see upsides.
I agree. Interesting point. I was one of those who switched, and, looking back, I didn’t give any thought to how Sublime was built vs. how Textmate was built. A testament to the performance and level of system respect from Sublime, but it did popularize the viability of the approach and a lot of less careful software followed.
Humanity is a "can we" approach.
Nothing stops you from calling bash from Python to combine bash pipelines (onelines) but if you must use Python for some reason, to run `baz` for each line in `foo` & `bar` output:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, run

with Popen('foo', stdout=PIPE) as foo, Popen('bar', stdout=PIPE) as bar:
for f, b in zip(foo.stdout, bar.stdout):
run(['baz', f, b])

(there is a slight difference in behaviour)
I’d expect (or at least hope) any piece of legislation with a significant cost component would have a projection of those costs included.

There is a significant cost to providing care in the last year of a person’s life. It would seem opaque or “hiding something” if legislation around assisted suicide failed to discuss financials entirely.
1 is preference.

2 is something I haven’t experienced. I guess maybe you’re using low resolution monitors? I find Windows to be incredibly blurry or text painfully sharp.

3 is something where I think the Mac mindset is to not really use full screen windows. I personally always have part of my desktop visible and most Mac users I’ve seen in the wild seem to do the same. Probably a consequence of the drag and drop mindset (which Windows is painful to use due to it doing the opposite of MacOS when it comes to drag and drop)

Enable the file path setting in your finder options. Super easy to navigate up then.

Disk images are nice in that usually they contain a drag and drop application install process, while windows often has some messy installer that leaves a trail of shit in its wake that’s sometimes impossible to fully remove when you’re trying to uninstall the program. But… I think a zip file would do all a disk image could and make more sense to people. Sometimes I do encounter zips, though.
The M1 does seem pretty great. I wish I could get it in a non-Apple machine, because nothing else about that ecosystem appeals to me.
I'd get a second phone to separate the work and personal life, and leave that behind when you go on vacation. Prepare a thorough handover before you leave so your team or someone else can pick things up, and trust them to do it. I try to remember that work will be just fine without me, I'm not that important (no matter how important you may be).
You're using language intelligently here in a way that obscures the deductive leap you're making. That some prominent examples of animals love a pecking order (or at least appear to do -- some of the previous conclusions have been refuted in more thorough studies) does not mean that all animals do.

Second, you're repeating a common argument that "if there will be informal cliques of power arising anyway, we may as well formalise and legitimise their power." That's not a universally accepted line of reasoning. It might be the case that flexible orders of informal power results in better outcomes than strictly defined hierarchies of formal power.
Is there some nuance in the phrase “compressed storage” here? Like, is that a subset of overall storage, with some objects not being compressed? I imagine that a great proportion of S3 objects are not amenable to zstd compression, either because they are natively in a compressed format (e.g. JPEG) or because the customer has already compressed them to realise the saving themselves.
I think the big flaw to anarchism is that in a novel situation, people will default to behavior they know. So in this case, people act like they would act in a zombie apocalypse.

If you had anarchism and called it by some other name, it would turn out differently.
SF is small enough for Uber and Lime to solve the issue - trying to use your own car to get around in SF is not the best idea.

For South Bay, if you're there for business, yeah - you probably need a car.
I've argued for a long time that everything in programming comes down to:

1. Data. It can be in many different forms and structures, more or less strictly typed, and a big part of writing a program is determining what it looks like, and what it should look like.

2. Procedures to work on that data. They can transform the data, remove it, reshape it, convert it, or do any number of other operations on it, simple or complex.

That's all there is to programming.
That opinion is very outdated. Da Vinci Resolve is the #1 post-production tool in Hollywood, and gives real-time collab, via LAN and WAN. It even works on Linux, Windows and macOS. Linux is huge in Hollywood these days. BlackMagic cut ahead with their Cinema Camera range of hardware.

Cubase/Nuendo and Pro Tools likewise dominates as a combo for composers and sound designers.
At the scale of AWS S3, exabyte scale, I assume that could be close to a billion dollar in cost savings?
True for SV-style tech companies, not true for most other industries.
Judging by the demands it sounds more socialist though. They don't seem to want less, only different government.

> San Marino is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.

there are a lot of beautiful places in Europe, it's a high bar, are you sure San Marino is the pinnacle?

> Forget about the article and google yourself some pictures taken from San Marino.

the article is saying something quite unique about a facet of San Marino that is interesting, and you're claiming that the pictures of San Marino are more important than that?

I dunno, not picking on you, but I wish HN could digest posts in the spirit in which they're offered up, instead of always switching to some narrow parochial view that is orthogonal, or diametrically oppposed,essentially saying "don't post what you're saying, post what we already know, it's better."
This freaking issue! This has plagued humanity for decades now I think. I had an older ThinkPad at work once that did that when it went to sleep. Fun for the whole fami^Wgroup of colleagues sharing the switch. Pause frames must die, leave flow control to a higher layer.
Had a feeling I would see Chomsky in the comments, this is a classic example of how intelligence agencies are a tool of the ruling class, history has shown they rarely ever bite the hand that feeds them, unless it's for self preservation.
Honestly, if the victim thinks it's legitimate and they've plugged it in, autoplay being disabled is no big deal to the attacker, chances are, they're going to double-click the setup.exe/install.exe anyway...
Totally agree! I've been using Macs since the 80s, every version of Windows since 3.1. I use the Linux desktop all day at work.

I've been reading these 'Apple has lost its mojo' opinion pieces for decades but I'm really not seeing it. Sure there are specific issues but compared to the competition it's still night and day.
Yes, we buy books like Windows Internals.
The question I have is, are they thanking people for saving their life, or simply thanking them for showing them some love. For enough cases, and especially this one, once that love-in wears off, it's back to figuring out how to die.

Wanting to die, and appreciating the expression of love in your direction, are not opposites.
Of course, it's all preference, I'm not making a case to say it's objectively bad, just I find it inferior.

The monitor is a ultrawide LG that works perfectly on windows. A Google for "blurry text external monitor MacBook Pro" turns up many people with the same issue (edit: it's a 1440p monitor)

Thanks for the finder tip, that will help.
In addition to pretty much everything you wrote, I would encourage people skeptical of use of aluminum to research high spec/higher cost aluminum road bike parts (and/or firearms components CNC machined from billet) to see just how light and strong it can be.
Yep. Used to run two gargantuan floor-to-ceiling racks, but they're just impractical. Over time, hardware gets smaller and smaller, and rack-mount gear is less and less common, mercifully. I have 12U of rack space left in my desk for fanless devices such as AD/DA convertors and compressors, 500 series, Eurorack etc. I would never want to go back to having huge racks, it's very impractical.
We made the difficult decision to euthanize our dog last summer. Sure, we could have just stopped feeding her or additionally stopped allowing her water to drink.

If we’d done that instead, how would we be judged? How much of that judgment would result directly from the idea that, despite there being a more humane and compassionate alternate, we chose to prolong her suffering needlessly?

I'm not sure what your definition of public transport is. Regarding Japan, if you mean "publicly owned" then Japan Rail is private. If you mean "available to the public" then I can walk into Tokyo station 10min before a bullet train leaves, buy a ticket, and be in Kyoto in 2 hours.
Planes are technically faster once they get going, but the processes related to security, boarding, and the location of airports often being very far from city centres negates this for HSR train journeys <= 4 hours long. In theory you could replicate all the worst features of airports with rail, too, I suppose, but for obvious reasons it's easier to build a train station in a city centre than an airport.
There's a (not so) subtle difference between property and possession. You are in possession of your home, car, and business because these are things you actively make use of, and need for a decent life. This is fully compatible with anarchist principles.

What many anarchists disagree with is the idea of property. Of owning more than you can use. Of accumulating things through inheritance until you have no chance to use it all on your own, so you rent it out to others.

It's basically the difference between using a seat on the train and defending your right to sit there (possession), and picking up your gun to prevent other people from using the 12 seats neighbouring yours (property).
I can't find any price or performance numbers on their site so I'm sceptical.

I did find some alibaba listings for pressure tanks. The cheapest believable ones were about $100 for a 50L 300bar tank. This works out to about $3k for a MWh of storage. You'd have to fill and empty it a couple of times a year for 20 years to break even vs nuclear just on the storage cost.

It might beat retail in some areas though, and you'd need 50 or so of them to over winter in cold areas.

Sounds like medium term storage (weeks) is solved if $100/tank (or even $1000/tank) is doable though.
I made a button that just plays the WRONG sound clip from Trump. Rejected for being too simple.

Meanwhile the same app already on the App Store features a dozen ads, popping up as soon as you open the app, before you click the button, after you click the button, and all around the button. I guess those are the features they're looking for.
Aka “there wasn’t any alternatives.” Unity targeted a niche market that grew up to eat the entire industry.
> The truth AFAICT is that humans are animals and animals love a pecking order.

And the slaves love to get food and shelter for their work.

> I’ve found that the people I know that advocate anarchy actually view it as a means, not an end. The real end is the system they think would work best (usually to their benefit, imagine that), and anarchy is simply the step that removes the old system.

There has to be a name for a "No no true scotsman" fallacy. No true strawman? No system is an end to itself, it serves something or someone. Can we find systems that serve more people or better? Or do you just want to throw tour hands in the air and say "well, people are corrupt haha"?
