Not really.

I would argue that I live in a cheap 1 bedroom, it exactly this that you describe.

The bathrooms are a wash, both commercial and residential spaces require them. If anything the bathrooms in this arrangement are a bit smaller than traditional commercial bathrooms.

Same with the kitchen, commercial spaces have them, every place I've worked for the last 15 years has had one. So that's a wash. Also, our kitchen isn't huge, it's of similar size to those kitchens.

That leaves the laundry. For us it's a stacked unit in a small closet in the bathroom. They could easily be removed and then the closet could be used for bathroom cleaning supplies and no-one would ever suspect it wasn't just an office.

So the real comparison is:
Residential:
1500 Sq ft loft, small glass office and loft bedroom, 2 full baths
Commercial:
1500 Sq ft office, 1 large loft conference room, 1 small glass conference room/office, open Floorplan for 10-15 desks, 2 bathrooms with shower, full kitchen
Both have door service, package receiving and security services provided on site, parking space

Grocery self-checkout machines are great. There's even a system now where you can bring a little scanner with you and scan as you pick them out, that way you can bag them directly in your cart, saving the time of the final scan and the bagging (it was great during the peak of the pandemic, skip the cashier and waiting in the high-population line area).

Robots answering support calls are annoying, but self-service websites are pretty good for 99% of things.

Have an M1 iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the Magic Keyboard and Pencil. Obviously won’t be upgrading any time soon(like 4-5 years minimum) and pray Apple understands that users want significantly improved OS software out of the box. Everything I’ve seen marks this as a disappointing software update, especially Stage Manager.
> This is a notable differentiator that's easy to see and feel for iPad users.

I agree. We're talking about a device that most people use to watch video though, so they're not going to really be revving it beyond 24hz.

120hz screens are great, but if I didn't play first-person shooters with my friends then I'd have no reason to use mine. Like I said, an OLED panel makes much more sense for the iPad, and arguably the Macbook Pro.
> Firefox can't even make basic web features like blur work on the browser

I wouldn't call backdrop-blur trivial or a basic feature. It's non-trivial to implement and used very little. Why should it be a priority?

> (that are available on even no name mobile browsers)

What no-name mobile browser that isn't based on an engine like Chromium has implemented more "basic" features than Firefox? The fact of the matter is that large corporations like Microsoft have given up trying to implement their own custom browser engine and pivoted to using Chromium.

> it doesn't support even the most basic features all other browsers have.

Like backdrop-blur?

> Fighting monopoly with an even better product that supports the ideology.

You're trivializing browser development as if you could build a better browser in a weekend.

Of the 4 major browsers developers only one isn't a billion/trillion dollar corporation; one uses it's monopoly in search to bankroll and push it's browser, one uses their monopoly position in smartphones to force their browser on users and restricts the feature set of it's browser so as not to detract from custom App development, one threw in the towel and just rebranded Chromium, and the last is a non-profit that's financially dependent on the other three for handouts.
Not every feature is used. Most use a tiny subset of available features.

That makes the iPad fill many many use cases.

These projects are so important for being able to run the software we want, on the hardware we want. While other comments have pointed out that cameras are an inflection point for FOSS, I think they've managed to understate it. For all the commenters asking about why this should exist, please read this exchange with Greg KH on LKML discussing the new Intel IPU/MIPI cameras [1]. There are intel hardware devs who explicitly state the proprietary stack exists because currently functionality is not functional. libcamera is specifically pointed out as the necessary project to get camera support a future in the kernel and to incentivize FOSS code for camera interop. The hardware is currently a new frontier of binary blobs, proprietary APIs and weird shims between kernel, drivers, software, and userspace. The thing about Intel is that, like Apple and unlike AMD, they've realized that a computer is more than a CPU. It's a platform. And the functionality and desirability of your platform depends on the laundry list of quality features you deliver... not just GHz and FLOPS. So they're trying to be Apple in their own way much how Apple has succeeded in be(at)ing Intel. Interestingly, in my opinion, quality open source software for their platforms could be the dark horse for their success.

And this could not have come up on HN at a better time. Just a few days ago I bought my first ever new laptop (!) for research, an X1 Nano Gen2. I've been a Linux user on old Thinkpads my entire life so I naively bought this hardware on a lark because it filled a very specific niche for me. I zfs sent my OS from my old Thinkpad and tweaked a few things and everything worked phenomenally well. Then I went to try out the fancy webcam... I still haven't managed to get the mish-mash of code they offer to work for the Nano2 OV2740 camera sensor that's being read through Intel's new Alder Lake integrated "IPU", although some people have had more success on Dells [2]. Which is sad given how necessary a webcam is these days.

In the spirit of hackernews, if anyone can point me in the right direction for getting the camera working. I'm all ears. Currently the module/firmware refuses to load after compiling the six different libraries necessary for support. I've been working on getting enough information together to open an issue on the github [3]

They have Photoshop on the iPad and Adobe says it’s “built with a no compromise in quality and performance”. Which means buggy as any Adobe product but useable. It really can’t get worse than Lightroom on an older intel Mac. An iPad Pro M1 also beat a MBP 16” with an i9 in Geekbench for multi core.

Video editing is also crazy good on an iPad Pro and iPhones.

This isn't really an apple to apples comparison. Since Bitcoin is a programmable platform, its possible to scale upwards exponentially with layer 2's (Lightning network), which allows for even more tps. Since transactions wouldn't need to run on the main chain (other than opening and closing channels), the upper bound is much higher.

> HOA Amenities: Community Pool, Door Person, Elevator, Gym/ Exercise Facility

That stuff costs money; if you don't want it then that isn't the building for you! Having recently moved from a condo to a non-HOA house, I am realizing how much extra time it takes to maintain a house (plus all the little extra costs here and there that add up). Condo HOAs are a mandatory convenience fee, and if you are a busy person they might really be worth it.

Single-family detached house subdivisions with HOAs are a different world. Stay far far away.
It seems to me like I'm arguing the instantaneous rate of death will be lower afterwards, since there's a swath of elderly people missing from the population, but you're arguing about the average reverting over time (and specifically that it won't revert from the impact of the pandemic). I don't think the premature death impact of covid will be that large compared to, say, obesity or diabetes. So the impact on the average won't be severe & could be easily offset if our public health leaders produced actual positive results. Instead we've got an unhealthy population and no one accepts the blame.
This is a great rebuttal, and gestures towards what I was getting at. Thanks.

Since everybody is nitpicking here, I'll add that this is indeed ignorance. We're know what we know, and are ignorant of what we don't. Being ignorant by itself shouldn't be viewed as a flaw, but an inevitable state of our limited capacity to learn. The real flaw is being proud of staying willfully ignorant.

No, not at all. But the entirety of CCC isn't "normal", C3 isn't just some command line Oktoberfest.

I don't get the feeling that the majority of the Russian Elite wanted this war. They only started getting suicided after the war started and they criticized Putin. Sure the ex-military, arm-chair warriors and nationalist delusionists wanted this war, but that's a small minority. America has it's share of crazy vocal "bomb, bomb, bomb" folks too - see John Bolton, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Pompeo etc....

Outside of Putin's delusions of grandeur for an empire that never existed I still fail to see ANY upside for Russia for this war.

Also, even native plants aren’t adapted to what many people consider ‘native soil’ - if there is no existing native vegetation, the soil itself is far different from what a typical seed would deal with from that same plant natively.

And when you think about it, it’s normal - you’d never end up with a giant 100% consistent group of plants in a native area anyway. You’d have variable concentrations all over the place, with some devoid of one species, others overpopulated with it, all based on suitability of the local env. and and variations in the soil, water, shade, and competing plants nearby.

As humans, we just think we can point to a spot and it should comply and grow amazingly I guess, and we get flustered if that isn’t what happens.

Money is decision-making-tokens. I believe the best people to use those tokens are the people who earned them.

One of the issues I see with this sort of reasoning is that it fails to contend with the elephant in the room: people are commiting suicide. The major difference here is that it's occuring in a medical setting.

To clarify, if a person is suicidal and seeks MAID to end their life, they are electing to undergo a lengthy process to reach their chosen end. This differs drastically from a spur-of-the-moment decision to (for instance) leap from a tall building, in that it requires weeks of premeditiation and must still withstand a medical consultation. Many people who enact suicide and survive later express regret, and characterize it for varying reasons as a split moment decision, or even a sudden compulsion, rather than a long resolution. (I can find the study if anyone is interested).

If somebody truly wishes to die, they will find a way to die. We can (and should) certainly discuss providing people with better mental health services, and improving the quality of the lives of people who are dealing all manner of illnesses, but that won't change the fact that a certain percentage of people will choose obliteration rather than a continuation of their suffering.
