Mapping Improvisation: The Role of Call and Response in Urban Planning
I don't follow anyone who even hints at crypto. That alone eliminates 99.999% of s(p|c)am.
Yep, and that's the story of how I lost years worth of discussions and chats because Discord thought well that linking a phone number doesn't automatically allow you to verify yourself with it.
For something like Discord, I'm eventually going to form human connections with people. I'm not going to post my address and SSN, obviously, but my real name, my occupation, the company I work for? Yeah, that'll probably come up.

To say "just practice good opsec and never tie your name to your real identity" is the same as saying "just don't make friends on Discord" to me. I understand why people would do that, but I really don't like the idea of being a pseudonymous blur on the internet like I am on HN/reddit.
Hey, he was prosecuted for not reporting income that definitely nobody filed a 1099 for. :)
Near as I can tell, it's due to radical ideological splits among the different power bases, and little in the way of shared culture/values. Some prominent ones being the Latinos, Chinese, Japanese, Tech, Finance, etc. blocs. The stakes are high enough and the blocs are big enough, it's easy to drive divisions between them and play them against each other.

It lets someone who wants to point fingers at another group and fearmonger enough folks to block anything they don't want - and among the different blocs, there is no specific thing they all agree on.

One classic recent example of this is Zoning for Marijuana dispensaries. For a long time post legalization, there literally were only 2 potential locations in SF you could get permitted to open one due to extreme school location distance requirements, driven partially by the Chinese bloc. [https://www.sfexaminer.com/the_fs/forum/conservative-chinese...]

Even now, there are only ~42. [https://sfstandard.com/arts-culture/cannabis-lounge-map-mari...]

That is a ludicrously low number for a city of San Francisco's size, even if you don't know the history of San Francisco as one of the counter culture/weed cultures epicenters.

Of course, during this entire time it was still easy to find weed - just not legally. There is a huge underground market that never stopped. And regardless of legality, there were no meaningful penalties except from the Feds (who have gotten a cold shoulder from SF for a VERY long time), as the local Police stopped enforcing anti-Marijuana rules consistently sometime in the 70s.

California overall (and the US) is becoming more and more like San Francisco. It's like a cancer, as lack of belief in social institutions or a coherent social identity trends towards 'snitches get stitches' and 'fuck you, I got mine', which just enables predators.
The label for projects is "hacktoberfest".

"hacktoberfest-accepted" is a label for pull requests you want to mark as accepted but don't want to merge yet (a pull request has to be merged OR approved OR have this label to count).
Luxuries, niche products and novelties today are commonplace tomorrow. Many of those things have benefits to society. I'd say advancing high-speed non-terrestrial Internet is a good goal.

I don't see how your comment on megacities aligns with the other comment about enhanced communications. How is Lagos "ahead"?
No, I'm really certain I'm not committing crimes. Living a rather boring life, where I work almost non-stop and use the internet. Many of the laws you are referring to are basically dead laws. You couldn't convict someone if you tried.

I use Tweetbot and only follow accounts with interesting tweets and/or friends I've met online or IRL. Having a chronological-only timeline is super helpful in avoiding the toxicity that's so prevalent for 'normal Twitter'.

The few times I hit twitter.com, all I see is a Facebook-like list of popular/highly 'engaging' tweets, and all the interesting stuff I care about is buried somewhere deep in the infinite scroll.
I hadn’t been following their plumbing saga but seems pretty rough. EDIT: I had pasted a link but it seems that the author redirects HN traffic to something other than the intended content. The one I linked was the most recent post on DNA Lounge’s blog when I wrote this comment.
Meh, Internet Archive doesn’t meaningfully archive any dead forum either. It gets one page of one thread here and two pages of this other thread there.

It’s basically unusable except to stimulate some nostalgia. So I don’t think Discord changes much in this regard.
There is no paradox in the statement "This sentence has no proof."
> 2ug / litre of THC in the blood is a drug-driving offence

So I can have up to 8ug of THC in my blood? If I took 0.1mg (100ug) of THC (and would be very NOT high in this case, as it is 1/100th of a "normal" dose) I would probably be over the limit in that case, so sure they may be able to test for THC in the blood, but the limit is so laughably low as to effectively ban cannabis users from driving.
Porn has generally been a frontrunner of tech. If anything, that has slowed down recently.

Porn was the first to adopt portable cameras. VHS. DVDs. Credit card payments for online. Chat. Webcams. VR. 4K (not the best idea). etc.

For many years, the Adult Entertainment Expo and CES were held simultaneously in Vegas. And the AES tech talks were often better as CES tended to blur the line between marketing and tech while at AES the marketing/sales and tech were ... more strongly delineated.

Oh, hey, look at that. For 2023, they're back to being on the same date. Presumably attendance at both is sufficiently off that they needed to consolidate again.
> from the organisation's point of view, the expenditure is cheap

But from any normal person's perspective, it's expensive.

The difference is who is in control and what are their priorities and influences. Since "the organization" is making the decisions - and, completely incidentally, "the CEO" is the head of "the organization" - it just so happens that "the organization" finds that "the CEO" should be paid lavishly.

Rich people gonna prioritize rich people.
I'd imagine the tradeoff here is that impact studies allow for more variation, while generally clear checklists might need to include overgenerally strict items in order to prevent problems that might only be applicable in a few situations.

I suppose the middle ground would be automatic green light for developers who can tick off every box on the overgeneral checklist + impact studies for people who want exceptions.
What are data apps? Surely not embedded analytics
FYI, it wasn't me even once. I actually appreciated the note because the distinction never crossed my radar even once. Plus I'm technically ESL so why not learn.
There was a (government) public investigation / shame campaign a few years ago ago the construction industry in Montreal, Canada.

One of the person who testified in exchange for not being jailed was "Mr. 3%", a member of the office who approve (public) construction projects. He took 3% of the project total cost (in bribes) from the top 30 contractors in exchange for making sure their permits requests never got in these artificial rejection loops.

The bureaucracy, just like the old taxi industry, is about keeping smaller players out, not enforcing the codes.
The sad part is that before Apache takeover they had pretty decent website that put all the features and screenshots to the front:

Why did they waste time redoing it into something so useless is beyond me.
The first statement is fallacious. The second is probably true.

Can you say or link to more about the metaanalysis problem? I haven't heard this before, and am not putting together the pieces myself.

One of the results of the lack of the "big debunking bang" is that nobody seems to have learned from it, and the identical thing could happen again, as someone else pointed out in this thread, with Daryl Bem more recently, who is probably the "ESP guy" the OP actually meant (I hadn't heard of him before).

(I think both Bem and Rhine were not intentionally fraudulent, but well-intentioned... the lessons of how good intentions can lead to accidental statistical manipulation were not learned, and probably still happen all over, not just in disrepuptable areas like ESP)

[I can't seem to find it now, but I recall reading something from someone writing in the 30s, someone who is still considered a reputable scientist today, on the lines of "I didn't want to believe in esp, but I am forced to recognize it scientifically on the strength of Rhine's research." But I can't recall who!]

Google had a 2021 operating cash flow of $92B, and they've decided to spend money on lots of things that aren't "serving ads". And yet nobody complains.
The ruling could probably not be applied. However, as someone above said, that choice would realistically cost them tens of billions each year, as well as fostering new competitors.
I actually purchased multiple docks, the nice thing about the switch to me is being able to quickly move it to another room as needs arise.

People have been claiming society is degenerating for as long as there's been society. It may not be proceeding in a direction you like, but that doesn't mean it's degenerating.
> Thank you, this is very well written.

Thanks! Was trying to keep it concise and tight enough to be both informative and interesting to someone who's not American, while still hitting the "highlights", especially the relative recency of outright racist laws and of how recently private and public racial discrimination was legal (if not always required by law) and normal.

> I'd also just like to highlight how much extrajudicial violence there was perpetrated by white men against minorites, which while technically illegal was just completely overlooked by the white male dominated political and judicial system. For example the Tulsa Race Massacre.

... which is why I didn't even try to cover these instances of what I guess could be grouped together as something like "civil strife", which actions were or are explicitly outside the law, not simply not-illegal, but have been or are often tolerated or overlooked, but you're absolutely right to bring them up.

In the case of the Civil Rights Movement it wasn't only (though, to be clear, it was mostly) black people being killed by racists, often with no consequences for the perpetrators—several white participants in civil rights marches and rallies were also targeted and murdered. Often Quakers or (IIRC?) Catholics, participating in part due to their religious convictions—the whole "social justice" angle held greater sway in US Catholicism then than it does now, I gather, which was also evident in the anti-war movement of the 60s and 70s. These killings weren't legal, of course, and I expect they'd have been quite unpopular if you'd polled the whole US population, but such actions had enough support locally, including among public officials, that many of the killers escaped justice anyway, so long as the killings were in the name of preserving white supremacy, even if that meant killing some white people, too.

A read over a Wikipedia timeline of 1960s US history is pretty wild—the entire decade was batshit crazy, not to put too fine a point on it.
FYI, jwz hates HN for whatever reason and redirects HN referers to shock sites
It's not your place to tell other people what you think they actually believe. Woke/wokism is common parlance. As an atypical lefty soc dem, I also have a strong distaste for wokeoids and don't feel like I need to cowtow to everything everyone says on "my side".

edit: I'm stunned that you are unaware of how fractured the left is politically. If you consider it for a moment, the left is definitionally fractured. We want change, but what change? There are a million answers and many people think they have the perfect full solution in their head.
It depends on which version of SDI you're talking about, there were numerous proposed architectures using different technologies, updated through the years as technology changed. In several of the proposals, orbital Boost Surveillance and Tracking Systems (BSTS) would communicate with orbital interceptors using inter-satellite laser links. Brilliant Pebbles particularly called for thousands of orbital interceptors with IR sensors to track missiles, but to arrange an intercept in time a Pebble would need to receive track information from the BSTS, or other pebbles. The challenge of doing that with thousands of pebbles was one of the factors that sank the proposal (the other big problem being the difficulty of actually launching thousands of interceptors into LEO.)

The mesh network aspect of NDSA / Starlink is new insofar as they've now figured out how to do what they wanted to do back then.

Space-based interceptors are missing from NDSA as it's described in public. But all the technical challenges have been resolved, what remains is the political challenge. Since the space-based interceptors are the politically contentious part, if they were going to do this it would make sense for them to build the 'benign' parts first while not talking about the rest.
See what Dr. Kendi is advocating for and his "anti-racist" ideas. I think it will make sense to you why some people write things like "People have lost their damn minds. This is actual institutionalized racism."
Depends on how much more market-rate housing is created, right? Create enough and the market rate goes down
Doesn't work for me.

If I leave it a while, I eventually get a notification pop-down saying "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page."

Is it Chrome only?

Whatever it is, it sounds like someone's implemented a very simple feature very badly - a bouncing logo is the type of thing people made in basic "DHTML" on the old web, not something that should be slowing down a browser in 2022...
I tried to find out why Planned Parenthood opposed it and the original article is terrible:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Effort-to-bar-ju...

No specific mention of why. I couldn't find a statement from Planned Parenthood in my limited search.

I found a publication "Child Marriage in the United States" by Lauren Fox" (https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/966/) that says this:

> Planned Parenthood opposes banning child marriage because it believes that an
age requirement would be a burden on a minor’s right to consent in other circumstances
(particularly to consent to an abortion).

Seems plausible, but the article it references seems to make no specific reference to planned Parenthood:

Yeah I've looked into this before and it's basically true. They have way more money than they need. They justify it by saying "look at all the outreach projects we do!" but really nobody was asking for those. The people donating don't know they exist.

If they had spent wisely they could easily have a $0.5bn endowment by now and basically be self-sustaining without donations.

It also feels like a massive waste for one of the few open source organisations that is actually well funded. Where are the technical improvements to Wikipedia? The only thing I remember changing in the last 10 years is the link hover box which is very nice, but is that it?
Or, "when we fired people, we tried NOT to consider their race" ... the idea that a layoff would, by default, be fair and not a racist or bigoted decision is a very privileged world view.
Pretty easy to come up with ways this could work that are not ridiculous. Let's say you come up with a list of people to lay off. Let's say someone slices that list by demographics. Let's say someone compares that demographic distribution with the overall demographic distribution of the company and is embarrassed by what they see.

Then the CEO revisits, and changes the decisions or overrules an underling on a few cases about who to lay off to make things less embarrassing.

I don't know that that's what happened here, but is that really so unthinkable for a woke tech company in 2022 to do? For a company clearly concerned with how it's publicly perceived on this front?
I don't remember the details, but I believe one of the issues is that the distances are extremely long.

California is complete nightmare state. if weather and geography wasn't there, the state would be unlivable. The legal system there has gone so much to the other extreme that if you ever have to interact with it, you could be the party in ruins. For example, if you ever get divorce in California, you can be turned into ATM slave for your ex for life.
It's clearly a title font. If someone uses that as a body font, it's hopefully a shitpost.
High valuations are also self fulfilling.

Even if zoning is changed now, the price of the land will be very high on the basis of high residential property prices, which leads to higher breakeven price for sale (or rents) of newly constructed properties.

It's too late to go back and fill in all those lots at 2000-2010 level prices. Still worth upzoning and fostering new development, but important to recognize bad policy can be compounding

To be fair, the Hornet was the fourth Essex class carrier, so much of the design work was already done by the time the Hornet was launched (just a couple of months after the Essex and her two "older" sister ships). Commonality of design was what helped build and launch these wartime ships so quickly.

People do what they can to prop up the value of the properties into which they've invested their capital. The last thing they want is competition in the property market, hence their support for local government rules to hinder development. This is capitalism shutting down the free market.

This animated QR code has every frame scannable. It seems to be selecting different correction levels and bitmasks to aid in randomizing the noise. Also note that the timing blocks are relatively huge... so I suspect they are relying on 'pixel' modules being averaged and then thresholded (and when that doesn't work, they'll just allow some modules to be corrupted and rely on the error correction to read other pixels.

Creative stuff, built on a robust standard.

> I wonder why information-heavy communities chose "knowledge storage" in the form of Discord.

They don't. Obviously chats are not knowledge storages but a means for quick communication.

I think chats like Gitter, Slack, and Discord proliferated because the realtime thing makes people feel differently vs async communication.

But, like Discord realized, chats are just terrible tools for communities built around learning and solving problems (like dev communities around a tech project). There's no collective learning anymore, no stored knowledge, etc. And the problem gets worse as a community grows.
They say anti-racist but they really just mean racist. They are taking race into account when making staffing decisions. It's as illegal as the extra "side pot" of raise money my company has for diverse employees.
“Art Is Anything You Can Get Away with” (2011)
Go-To-Market or often referred to as GTM is a common term used within the B2B SAAS space. The term is thrown around quite a bit if you work in that sector. Like others said, it is primarily concerned with all things revenue (obtaining and retaining).

Well, it is in polite company ;)
Some words have two opposite meanings. Why?
The "approval process" was that city officials demanded he bribe local shakedown outfits. So of course he resisted it.

The reason that Tillman is the only person to ever say no to the shakedown is that he isn't a developer, and he doesn't have other properties he wants to build, and he has no interest in maintaining a working relationship with the city.
I don't really think that either will overtake Airflow in terms of sheer number or users or orgs it is deployed at.

1. Dagster and Prefect won't ever have a hosted version on AWS/GCP (teams can spin these up from their consoles without even considering a vendor conversation or leaving their infra).

2. There are very large Airflow projects out there with huge DE teams running them, that just can't really move to Dagster or Prefect very easily. Not do they really want to if they can do what they need to in a tool they are familiar with.

My perspectives have been very much coming at the tools with fresh eyes.

Will they overtake Airflow in terms of features? They probably already have.
I think we just have a difference of opinion (or a different use case) when it comes to threaded channels. Personally, I don't have any use for them in any of the small Discord groups that I'm in, so I'm perfectly happy with having them classed alongside "Rules channels" and the like. Based on their decision here I suspect that Discord sees it the same way. Obviously, you feel differently.
