This is satire, right?

NYC is located at the mouth of the Hudson and one end of Long Island sound, two relatively sheltered waterways. For hundreds of years this facilitated huge amounts of resource extraction from the region. Upon this resource extraction economy resource processing was built. Naturally it was located where the labor was the the products flowed through, the port. From there industrialization and an industrialized economy way built upon the resource processing. Through little other than historical luck of geography of the industries (that really took hold in NYC was finance. It has been that finance industry that has carried NYC through the transition to a service economy.

So basically, NYC is valuable today because it was yesterday and if you follow the recursion back to the base case you find natural resources.

While the natural resources are now gone or irrelevant they were the startup capital for the NYC we have today. There is no inherent value to a mass of people unless there is some productive activity for them to engage in. NYC got lucky and developed a finance industry. See Detroit for what happens when you don't make the transition.

Sounds like issues that an HOA (if you're into that) or the police/311 ought to address in a city. I assume that's why these services exist -- to resolve conflicts between people who live in dense environments where there is no option but to resolve the conflict.

If those issues go unresolved, that's a dereliction of city government and apartment administration duty.
We moved to a smaller city(Tacoma) inside of a big city metro(Seattle) for about half of the cost of a SFH in Seattle proper and it’s great. Can walk and bike to multiple grocery stores, beach, parks, etc. If I get the big city itch it’s easy enough to scratch it.
As a counterpoint, my company has outsourced major parts of its internal IT support to the Philippines, yet my experience is always as good as how it was before they did so.

If they can do that for internal support, it should be possible for external as well?
I think that most of these types of guidelines and rules are written with good intent, but intent is what ruins good science.

Science, as a method, works when you have a hypothesis, but when that hypothesis isn't supported by your findings you can't just discard the findings and go "well I'm still pretty sure I was right anyway."

If you find something you disagree with to be true, that makes the science even more important to share! Other people can start to look at what you've seen and get more details and finer understanding.
Show HN: I Made yet Another Rick Roll Link Generator – Instant Rick Roll
Hey there -- thought I'd show this simple app off. I'm bad at rails/html/css/js but made a Rick Roll generator in just under a day with rails!

It's kind of incredible how relevant the rick roll still is after ~15 years.

Any generated Links Dynamically make opengraph tags to disguise themselves as whatever the user inputs.

It's been pretty fun to see people making their own Rick Roll links. Everyone wants to make a million dollar SaaS app but making dumb little apps like this is something I might do more of!

Also -- it's kind of messed up how easily you could phish someone, I've made a bunch of random links my friends would be interested in and the click through rate is very high.
Moreover, how can any of these be enforced, and by whom? At least you know who your church authority figures are and who to criticize. Where do we even start if we let Twitter outrage decide whether science is potentially harmful and should be allowed or not?

This is worse than religion because it’s pretending to be rational. And many many people will be fooled.

I moved from FreeCAD to Fusion360 (I pay for a pro license) and the difference was astounding. Once I grokked the fusion360 model (which is both easier and more complex than FreeCAD) I was able to make forward progress very quickly. There are a lot of subtle little touches in the Fusion360 UI that make design easy.
>>Advancing knowledge and understanding is a fundamental public good. In some cases, however, potential harms to the populations studied may outweigh the benefit of publication<<

Are they really advocating for self censorship in the sciences? And when the whims of societal taste turn or, God forbid (and yes, I put this with all irony intended), Twitter decides it doesn't like an opinion for five minutes... does science self censor then as well?
I see, this isn't about making things better for the working stiff. Everybody in your plan goes to college, so this includes the janitor and trash man too who is paying $58k for a $32k education.

No this isn't about making college more affordable for the regular working stiff (it actually does the opposite). It's about enforcing your favored version of charity at the gun point of taxes.

>so I actually only paid $26,440 to help

I don't understand, what's stopping you from doing that now? Just go to some university's school tour as part of a group of potential students and offer somebody $26k for tuition. You'll find a taker. Your dream can become a reality and it doesn't even involve you convincing 51% of the population/reps to vote for it.
I've been very happy with CloudFlare Pages, and I hear good things about Vercel, but those aren't as expansive as Heroku (yet?)
If he's racist he can already hire black people to take a photo for an "upcoming action movie" called evil baby. They will be asked to hold guns aiming it at a crib. Then release it on the internet and say he saw 3 black people about to shoot a baby.

It would be called out as fake or staged just like an imagen/walle2/openai would be called out as fake. The thing that makes stories real is real people - actual events and backed up testimonies.
your father is going to extinct an intelligent species due to some damage to his boat - yeah, makes sense
By the time I got to that kind of traffic my left foot and right hand were already on automatic. Doesn't feel like a chore because half the time I'm not even aware of what they're doing - they just do it.
AutoZone has a database of that type of thing. Search for the product and filter by the vehicle, or you can just ask at the desk if that's where you're gonna buy the refrigerant anyhow.
Looks pretty similar for me;

search >IMDB:'fart'< @Google : <https://www.google.com/search?q=IMDB:+'fart'>
There are some that have emulated it, but the team that was there and created Heroku cared deeply about developer experience. When you just "clone" that you miss pieces, one PM friend that I worked with at Heroku called them papercuts. We would obsess over such things and the quality of something being shipped.

Even now if you emulate that it's one thing, but Heroku has been frozen in time for at least the last 5 years, maybe closer to 7-8 years. There was more to do and more to improve and advance, and it stalled out for reasons. Now just being a clone wouldn't be enough you need to continue advancing the experience.
Could you jump in on the cloud native buildpack issue above and ask for clarification? Goal of the public roadmap is to gather input and feedback and make it better.
> Do these people think there are motherfucking X-Men living among us

In fact, there are. You know, we all have genetic differences, and most studies do not account for these genetic differences. So a medicine that helps one person might cause drug induced Lupus in another.

Lithium is a good example of this stigma. I have Schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder and Lithium is constantly forces on me even though it does not work. I am what they call a "Lithium Non-Responder" and this has bee shown to be linked to varying genetics.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4814312/

The stigma is that researchers still think there is only one genetic human.

And what do you think the X-Men was about? It was about genetic difference and mental health. It is about trying to have people see that we have value that others cannot see because all they see is the illness.
That subreddit occasionally hit the front page, and lemme tell you, it's full of really fun and nice people who are able to take a nuanced and complex subject and handle it with care.

I am an European and was making $170k at my latest remote US job. Still, the time zones difference made it not worth it. I don't want my work days to start at noon and end at 8 pm...
Can you back this up? Most swedes I know are reluctant to speak, but in confidence say that “it’s a bit too much”
That would defeat the purpose. The whole point is to have rules vague enough that they can be selectively applied whenever there's an angry mob on Twitter that has to be appeased, while still saying "hey, we're just following our policy".
> they like the car lifestyle and want to perpetuate it

Are you sure? Polls show that most people in US are fond of the walkable spaces of university and company campuses, European cities, Disneyworld, even shopping malls.
"Rudder prank on unsuspecting boats! you won't believe what happened next!"
Just because it's a person doing necessary things doesn't make the structures themselves noble. If you stand before it and actually look, the scale of a single suburban four-lane intersection is just mind-boggling. The resources put into just one of these in terms of time, money, human effort, skill and ingenuity inspires awe but also disgust. People would shop and socialize without this. Is there really nothing better, more effective for these goals, we could have found to spend such tremendous skill and wealth on? I am ashamed of us if this is the best we can come up with.
It's worth mentioning there's a very vibrant piracy community that abuses heroku's free tier for torrent to direct-download bots and myriad other purposes. Thousands and thousands of fake accounts using the resources to their limits 24/7. It's likely also the reason Google's moved away from unlimited storage for educational institutions. I can understand why Salesforce has felt the need to restrict access.
I think your comment would be better if you simply suggest using dongle.

„If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.“
There's a few problems with this thinking.

First you need to distinguish between what your phone knows and what Apple knows. Most of what you've described are things that only your phone knows. Through a judicial process of attaining access to your iCloud backup (should you opt into such a service) could law enforcement then have access to that data. This is a significantly different approach to Android, where Google actively collect and use that data in profile building - this is perhaps where the confusion might be coming from.

Secondly there is some naivety about using an Apple phone and believing that you're not sharing functonality-essential data with the manufacturer and author of the operating system. Your device basically will not function without Apple's service backend. There isn't any moral question here because you would be aware that by buying an Apple device and using Apple-fed services that you are in some way engaging in some kind of relationship with Apple. If you believe that these devices can function without such backends, you are grandly mistaken. Moral questions come about when you engage in a relationship with one tech company, only for that company to start on-selling your data through a variety of products based on your use of the device. I.E. What happens with Android.

Also I'm not going to even touch the absolute hilarity of using WhatsApp while having concerns about privacy/metadata collection.
Yes, Google and the other big, profit-driven engines won't show bespoke websites. search.marginalia.nu doesn't show anything but bespoke.

If you want to break out of the dead, corporate internet, that's exactly what the GP built marginalia.nu to do.
I thought this would be about e.g. building telescopes on Maunakea.
> It's pretty much the forum equivalent of LibsOfTiktok, people post clips / screenshots of people acting silly and people laugh at them.

This is a tremendous misunderstanding of LibsOfTiktok, for starters. The vast majority of content posted by LOTT is no longer social media content to be mocked. The majority is:

1. Event announcements, particularly for queer events, accompanied by a call to shut them down; naturally, their followers do so via a combination of attack threats and actual attacks on the events

2. news articles, some real and some hoax, framing the targets of (1) as acceptable targets
If I'm going to take transportation to rent a car anyway, might as well live someplace I like more, no? It's about optimizing multiple variables, not making every variable of my life perfect.
It makes sense in photography where we don't really deal with or think about individual lens elements aside from people who repair their own, or when some new kind of element appears. We also call the whole assembly glass sometimes, though some people think it's pretentious. It's more common in blogs/YouTube/etc than in actual practice where focal lengths and f-stops are usually the main language of lenses.
No, I’m not. The stores are economically viable unless you have a car centric culture. Car centric culture makes walkable mid-density neighborhoods unviable.
Has a modern engine ever failed from insufficient shifting down? I feel like it’s a non-issue in reality in modern engines?

Also I assume your point doesn’t apply to diesels, and I’ve noticed the same shifting down in diesel autos.
> Living abroad has shown me cities, significantly more dense than the US, that are neither noisy or unsafe

Just because you can find quiet isolated pockets in any given city doesn't mean the rest of it is like that. All cities are loud and require being very aware of your surroundings, some more than others. I've spent months traveling through many European cities and been victim of crime and saw a lot of crime. As for being quiet, that's ridiculous. There are still tons of cars and constant construction even in the most walkable cities. Even in Venice where there are no cars it's pretty loud until you wander off into some back walkways.
Maybe not starting from scratch, what is happening in reality is that the car-light movement is growing, and cities are calming traffic. I think this effort will continue, because quality of life in these places is just objectively better.

I was in Boston recently, and the experience is so much better than 10-15 years ago, just because many core neighborhoods are calming traffic. Many other cities are taking similar measures.

imho it's not nearly going fast enough (e.g. I'd like my kids to be independently mobile), but nonetheless, it's happening.

Why did you feel the need to note the author is black? If what you say is your true opinion then race doesn't matter, but if it isn't it's a good way to ensure certain people discount his article and thoughts.
I don't quite follow what you are saying. In some SQL engines you can use row_number() function and derived tables (or CTE) to get top 10.

Hey there, I'm Trezy and I manage DevRel for Loophole! I can't tell you how excited I am about this release.

I agree. If harassment laws haven’t been updated to better reflect the digital age, then folks should be demanding their lawmakers to do their job and change the law. And, you know, enforce it. That is the purpose of the Executive branch of government (in the US, at least).

The current flavor of exerting social pressure on companies to, in effect, enforce their version of what the law should be, won’t end well for anyone.

What’s righteous today will become the evil of tomorrow. Political winds shift all the time.

We shouldn’t box ourselves into a corner where corporations enforce the rule of the people. There’s a threshold that once reached will be very hard to undo. I certainly don’t want to live in that version of the future.

We should all be working to fix the broken system we’ve got, not throw it away and start from scratch.
> Editors, authors and reviewers will hopefully find the guidance helpful when considering and discussing potential benefits and harms arising from manuscripts dealing with human population groups categorized on the basis of socially constructed or socially relevant characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, national or social origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, political or other beliefs, age, disease, (dis)ability or socioeconomic status.

How do you effectively discuss, and communicate, that for example sickle cell anaemia or lactose intolerance affects people of African descent, or skin cancer is prevalent in people of European ancestry? And that poor and badly educated people are susceptible to bad diets, lifestyles and medical issues that are a consequence of that?

> harms arising from manuscripts

I'm pretty sure the readership for papers in Nature is pretty low, and already read by a target audience of academics that already use a scientific dialect that doesn't cause 'offense'. Scientific language is terse and unambiguous for a reason. Efficient and precise transfer of ideas. "Go the shops and get a loaf of bread. If there are eggs, get a dozen".

"Offense" in 2022 is the social construct here. Not age, or disease, or origin.
This is why MFP will be able to get away with charging. There are endless apps out there, includes ones that look better with better features like LifeSum or ones that do the whole kitchen sink which some prefer. But the databases in all of those are smaller and notably much less accurate. If you eat the same thing all the time in general and those are in the database correctly in your app of choice then that's fine, but if you want to go out anywhere or shop anything at your grocery and feel confident it will be there and accurate far more often than any other app that MFP is the clear winner, and others can't grow their database without the userbase. So I think the only ones who will be able to compete are if say Google and or Apple enter the space with their resources to build a large and accurate database in partnerships, and then from their large user base.
Sadly, it's not even some vulnerable previous version, AFAIK the current driver is the same version. It's a mess, and I'm frankly annoyed it hasn't been blacklisted by now.
Entity Framework Core and Multiple Database Providers
I appreciate this. I've spent so much time (unrelated to EA) trying to optimize my work to help the most amount of people, and yet how much of that time could have been better spent helping someone in a less efficient way? 2 hours helping at 100% efficiency but 8 hours of thinking (0% efficiency) vs 8 hours of helping at 50% and 2 hours of thinking? Seems the latter would win, 4 hours to 2 hours.

As with spiders' k. domains it seems. More limited than I thought. My garden orb weaver found a dried leaf as large as herself in her huge web and proceeded to truss it up as nicely as she could before belatedly realizing that the operation was not going to be to her advantage.
Sounds like you should move to a rural place, and that's great! There's plenty of that in the US. And it sounds like you live in a place where biking on the sidewalk is legal, which I agree it shouldn't be (it's not here in NYC). But let's not throw away high density living because old people think the kids are making too much noise. As a New Yorker, I prefer the boisterousness of the city, because it sounds like joy to me.

Heroku's Next Chapter
Please let me know in the replies what you'd like to see at Fly that would make it as good, if not better, than Heroku. I recently started working at Fly to focus on making Rails & Ruby app deployments awesome, and of course Heroku set that benchmark almost a decade ago. I can't promise I'll get to everything, but I can promise that it will help me better prioritize what I should be focusing on to make Fly better for ya'll.
Sorry for the crudeness of this reply but in this lineup an A+ is the digital equivalent of "just the tip"
It's about expectations. Most folks expect that the GDP of a country would be a larger number than the endowment of any one thing. It's no deeper than that.
I find automatic transmissions absolutely infuriating for all of those exact same reasons.

Except that I drove an auto for all but my first 3 years and last 3 years of driving.

Now I drive a Tesla and the janky auto transmissions and lag in an ICE for the engine to rev is so maddening I actively cringe just trying to drive a rental.
fly.io is better anyway. Its a real shame how far salesforce dropped the ball on heroku
As a non-native english speaker, i have no problem to understand plain american/canadian english, but i got lost fast when the speaker have some strong accent. So i can see that such product may improve usability of call centers for non-native speakears. The author should check their english-native-speaker privilege.

My guess is it’s closer to 25%, once you consider people who use a snow plow, haul a boat/camper/trailer etc. Now sure many of these could be replaced with smaller trucks without extended cabs etc, but the choice of pickup truck was still useful.
Everybody should print digital sundial (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1068443) and watch escapement (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3364860) and finish the escapement assembly.

Those two projects made me realize that 3d printing can be a full time fun hobby for exploring all those things it would be too hard to machine in a garage.
The point of the comment is that "fix it" isn't an option when the maintainers won't even look at your bug fix.

I'm VERY appreciative of FOSS but it does seem that if you are going to maintain a project then it isn't unreasonable to expect that you'll at least consider a PR, and give some reason if you choose to reject it.
It's not really a comparison, but more so used to show you the perspective of the university's deep pockets and just how deep they are.

If a single university has a bigger endowment than the entire monetary value of produced goods and services of a country for a whole year, it gives you perspective on what that money can do when poured specifically into a single purpose (education, R&D, attracting academic talent, etc)
Sorry but Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, dating sites is not "the internet"
I think I’ve seen this in a few places, there’s one source in particular I’m thinking of that I can’t seem to find but here are some:

The positive impact of car-free streets on businesses during COVID: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-11/the-busin...

Good overview about autoluw streets and the effects they have: https://youtu.be/GlXNVnftaNs

…though as the video states, autoluw doesn’t mean completely car-free. I tend to agree that it’s probably the best balance rather than eliminating all cars from the area.
