In your reckoning, you ignore the difference in access to politicians. UK MPs have weekly 'surgeries' where any constituent discuss issues one on one. It's somewhat harder to meet a representative one on one in the States.
Overcast produces an export with everything, but warns they don't know of any apps that import it. The nice thing about OPML though is it's XML. An importer will just skip what it doesn't understand and import the subscriptions.

I’ve wanted to leave SF for a few years as I don’t connect as well after having kids. It has slid but it is very easy to avoid the big problem areas and you get desensitized. But there is still lots to love about the city. It soul isn’t crushed yet.

I've lived here off and on since 1993. I work for startups but haven't hit the lottery.

There's a lot of San Francisco (and Bay Area) out there that has nothing to do with the startup scene, and many, many people who have no connection to and couldn't care less about it.

I've posted this elsewhere, but it doesn't matter what our brains do and how similar that is to how AI operates. Humans have rights that machines do not. For example I can watch a movie and not be sued for infringement because I made a copy of the movie in my head.

People say PR is a second class entity, but I think almost any US state would be far better off with Puerto Rico's deal.

PR gets to harvest its own taxes, whereas the other states are tax fiefdoms for the Federal bureaucracy. This is truly a superpower for Puerto Rico.

In return, PR doesn't get to vote for president, or have senators or congressmen. But I can tell you, all those are worthless. My state's representatives (when I lived in a state) served the Federal bureaucracy in practice, not the people of the state. They are cronies for their political parties.

I personally believe that PR's mediocre economic situation is because their own elites steal all the money they get (like the $80 billion or whatever they defaulted on), and because the vast majority of Puerto Ricans have already gone to the States, creating a massive brain drain. I do not believe it's because of the Jones Act or some other form of colonialism.
At some point I think we went off the rails and decided that democracy has to occur at every level of a public project. E.g. First the governor announces a vision, then the legislature allocates funds, then it goes to a design committee, etc, on down the line. At each level we try to get public participation, and at each level just a few loud voices can derail the whole thing for an indefinite amount of time.

Perhaps we could reign that in. Democracy is how we elect leaders. If enough of our leaders decide to do something, then we do it. Maybe we have one public comment period for really big projects. But it gets done. Don't like what they did? Vote them out.
This is the even more wild statement to me. Just for the "look"?

Last year, the city spent nearly a half-million dollars to develop new trash can prototypes because city leaders “weren’t happy with the look” of off-the-shelf cans.

At least the public defacation issue is a true public health concern.

Automated banning is becoming absurd. I have recently been banned from Deezer cause I have used Revolut card for payment. And they had it flagged, while Revolut probably recycles the card numbers.

The point is that the school won't reject a child because their parents don't work in a particular industry or belong to a certain religious organisation, as was sometimes the case with "private" schools previously.

The author is asking for OpenStack to "Implement transparent APIs from AWS, Azure, GCP for OpenStack"

There _was_ an EC2 API that OpenStack nova had back in the day, that became unmaintained and was eventually removed

http://cloudscaling.com/blog/openstack/the-future-of-opensta...

This blog was from 2015, and the end result was that nobody was willing to step up and do the hard work of creating these API compatibility layers.

Frankly, there were barely enough resources being put in by large companies, to keep the OpenStack APIs themselves well maintained.

So, I think the issue of OpenStack was that everyone suddenly decided to shift to containers, instead of VMs for their deployments, and OpenStack no longer was required.
It was already possible to download dumps since a long time.

I'm quite a difficult skeptic, and I have to admit it's difficult to make a difference between melancholy and mild depression, especially after all those years spent being mildly depressed.

Even if I hate the bootstrap argument, it still has an effect on me, despite my skepticism.

In the end, depression alters my perception of what is really good for my mental health. It's very common that patients are difficult to treat, not only because they might disagree with the diagnostic, but because they can't really understand or perceive their emotions and subtle state of mind. Depression is a bit like obesity, you go back to the cause without caring for the consequences.

I become a bit confused when my psychiatrist lets me choose if I want to keep taking those meds, instead of clearly telling me i should take them. But in my experience, those meds are good for me, even if they're not perfect.

Maybe I will stop then one day, and see what happens, but it might hurt more than I think it will.

This almost reads like it was written not seriously, but as a plausibly deniable rant by someone who spent a few too many years in a government job.
The funny thing is that this entrance exam to Eton is effectively their ticket to the top, once you're there you're on easy street. Boris Johnson attended Eton, didn't achieve particularly good results but cruised into a scholarship at Oxford. I attended a decent state school and had a fellow student who had literally top grades in all the exams he'd taken (eight "1"s at Standard Grade, five "A"s at higher, five "A"s at Advanced Higher) and his application to Oxford was touch-and-go. Now, such grades do not guarantee anyone a place at Oxford as there is a lot of competition, but you can be sure that if he had two English A-levels at grade B or C[0] he wouldn't even have been considered. The application would go instantly to the bin.

This is not true of Eton (or I guess Harrow or the other public schools).

I searched for this luna88k and was taken to a Wikipedia page that I read until I realized it was for a computer called LUNA but it had a 68k processor.

The reason it came up was a tiny quote from the NetBSD announcement of Luna 68k support which mentions its "rare cousin" the 88k LUNA.

Now that's niche!
> That is an odd take on Python particularly, which has been widely lauded as a good language for exploratory coding - easy and quick to put something together and iterate on it.

I think the point your parent was trying to make is that, at least in Python, there is a lot of emphasis put on doing things the python way e.g. list comprehensions over loops.

For myself, the python experience is... mediocre.

Ruby feels so much better. Between the embracing of functional programming and the pry gem, it feels much nicer to use. Sadly, it's not the strong horse in the race.
A GPS chipset is extraordinarily mundane (there are billions if not tens of billions of them by now) until it's one that lacks altitude or speed lockouts, and is attached to a thousand pounds of high explosives (or ~10-20 kG of Spicy Metal) falling from the sky.
That seems to be about 2x the per capita rate of public toilets as SF.
Tour de Source: How NextAuth.js and auth protocols work
One of the reasons this toilet is so expensive no doubt, is that the new SF public toilets are self cleaning and will have attendants on duty to try to prevent this. The one on golden gate park and Haight closes after each visitor to spray the inside down like a dishwasher, and has an attendant on duty to make sure no one is inside while it does that (and to generally discourage people from shady stuff). It's not perfect but they have been clean every time I used it.

> plus enthusiast gamers waiting for the 3d stacked cache chips coming next year)

They're already here - the 5800X3D or whatever it's called - and there's a significant performance jump in a bunch of games.

It is being released for the same cost as the non-stacked version of the chip, which has since come down in price. There are some downsides, like not being overclockable, so for workloads that don't benefit from the extra cache (which are many), it's not advantageous.

Edit: I apologize for not being more specific in a casual internet forum discussion, so as to make clear that I was simply pointing out that there are also some 3d cache chips already in the market.

I mistakenly thought this was intuitively obvious to casual observers. Praise be that neogodless was available to prevent HN readers from being led astray.

In the future, I will be more careful and exacting in my wording.

I have been appropriately chided, and will not transgress again.

Thank you for correcting me, good sir.
What Curtis argues in his documentaries - that politicians now are mere birocrats at the mercy of the markets - seems truer than ever.

There is no place for decisions that do not sit well with the markets, unless you live in a dictatorship - Russia, China, etc.

That means all creative or unproven political decisions will be punished by the markets leaving us in a rather stagnant world ruled by market forces.

For me iPad is better at these tasks i.e. at tasks about consuming content.

I guess mostly because of its form factor (I can sit on a couch, no need to keep anything on my lap, I can adjust viewing positions easily) and the touchscreen input (to me it’s more immediate than working with the pointer).

It’s subtle; obviously you can sit with a laptop on a couch too, and touchpad can be intuitive as well. Still, for me it adds up to iPad’s UX being more approachable, more hands on, and more natural.
The bar is so low right now, trust me, they are light years ahead of most of the rest of the world.

An equivalence that does not bear out for baby formula.

Based on a quick search Zurich has some 440K inhabitants while SF has some 880K inhabitants which is roughly double (or 100% greater)
It seems like both CPUs and GPUs this generation are going to push the power requirements to absolutely ridiculous heights for very minimal gains in performance. Sure, it doesn't take much work for a tinkerer to modify the settings, reduce voltages, and get something still quite powerful with considerable power savings, but that's the tinkerers. The CPUs and GPUs coming to people out of the box are going to be chugging power. These chips coming in prebuilts from system integrators for the people that just want to get work done are going to be as well.

I think Apple is probably too conservative with their power limits on their Mac Studio (maybe that's something they're saving for the Mac Pro) but I'd prefer that to this nonsense being the default.
Looking at the account, I don't see why it would be a lie in this case, or why the account shouldn't have been suspended after manual review. It posted 75 tweets in 26 minutes, self-admittedly "from multiple locations around the world.". All of those tweets link to an external website.

It's spam, so the account got suspended for posting spam. The fact that it was posted by Ben Thompson doesn't change the fact that it's spam. We can complain about automated moderation processes that make obvious mistakes all day, because it keeps happening, but this case doesn't look like an example of it.
Yeah, but at that point they were a Greek speaking, Christian monarchy that had been actively hostile to western Rome for a century.

information doesn't "want" anything... let's not forget that what matters is people.

Copyright today is grossly abused by corps, but it was created for good reason, as plenty of authors and artists went bankrupt because of piracy before copyright law was created (example: Alessandro Manzoni, father of the modern Italian language).

Copyright will be eliminated after money will be eliminated and everyone will get equal access to a decent basic living.

I'm often exploring data where either there's no defined standard or the use of the data has drifted from the standard. Now, I could go over this line-by-line, but instead my go-to has been "Hey, let's throw this into SQLite, then run stats on it!" See what shakes out. SQLite kindly and obediently takes all of this mystery data, which ends up being nothing like what I was told, and just accepting it. Then I can begin prodding it and see what is actually going on.

This is something that has come up for me for at least a decade: chuck it in SQLite, then figure out what the real standard is.
As someone who frequently blames car-dependence for many of the USA's social problems, this passage really stood out:

The large size of the townships and the long distances
between dwellings have had much to do with making social
coherence difficult. A single township may embrace four or
five communities two or three miles apart, with no common
rallying-point but the annual townmeeting. Not only do
these detached sections get nothing socially from the
township as a whole, but they are not, as a rule, populous
or compact enough to have any appreciable social activity
of their own. In this respect our farming communities are
at a distinct disadvantage as compared with those of
France and most of the other countries of the Old World.
There the tillers of the soil live closely together, in
almost crowded villages, from which they go forth to their
work in the outlying fields.

I wonder why even early in the USA's history, before cars, before railroads, we distributed housing so widely as to inhibit socialization? I guess it's because towns grew up around separate farmsteads, instead of a bunch of non-owners living in town, working fields around town for an estate owner? I usually assume that this USA-specific "missing middle" of dense housing is a result of car culture and the suburban nightmare we've created across the country. In fact, I specifically chose to live in a small, dense New England town because I like that kind of socialization and walkability. It is curious to hear someone complaining about the same issue, over 100 years ago, for entirely different reasons.
Announcing the Haskell Error Index
There were extremists on the site making calls to violence. A *private* entity deciding they don’t want to do business with a company because of that is neither censorship as a society would consider it nor is it problematic. More people and businesses should be willing to refuse business to entities that seek to harass, abuse, or promote violence to another group of people. What you’re worried about is governmental action and is not equivalent here.

I've got three books about Thatcher I am reading right now.

To interpret Thatcher you need to know about the labor unrest in the UK in the 1970s. Back then there seemed to always be a strike in some chokepoint industry (Coal mining, trucking) that threw the rest of the economy into chaos, almost like a general strike. This gets talked about it in this song

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Wish_I_Could_Fly_Like)_Superm...

A lot of people saw the labor movement as a big problem, thus Thatcher was in position to make a big crackdown against it. I occasionally meet an Americans who is opposed to unions, but there never was a time when a reasonable person could say unions were bringing the US economy to its knees.

Reagan had an impact of moving the US to the right a lot like Thatcher did, but not so much.

The Democrats largely accepted Reagan's viewpoint because it was perceived to work. Clinton accepted Reaganism just as Blair accepted Thatcherism, in fact both politicians were able to outdo their predecessors because on the other side of the aisle they were able to neutralize any possible opposition and normalize the slogan "there is no alternative".

Although Barack Obama introduced almost universal healthcare but implemented the public-private partnership plan that Nixon offered in 1974... One that almost works as a policy, but does great damage to institutional legitimacy because it looks like another case of regulatory capture and ultimately contributes to the nation becoming ungovernable.
The good laborers are union workers, which drives the cost up significantly.
