> I wonder why even early in the USA's history, before cars, before railroads, we distributed housing so widely as to inhibit socialization?

It might seem strange but there's a lot of people out there who don't hate you but also don't want to hear from you unless it's on their own terms.

> 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.

The south and Midwest were built before cars. I don't think this hypothesis tracks. It seems like it's just a popular topic on HN that exists among a younger, city-living crowd who are searching for answers. Answers which they'd like to use to influence national policy, whether it fits or not.

Edit: that's not to say we can't have more spaces that have less or no cars, but folks here use "car-free" a lot, and not just with respect to their locality.
The difference between those activities and driving is that you have a major potential to affect others.

For one thing, motorcycles and scooters are so loud that they’re disruptive to residences.

> Unbeknownst to most users, Google's Chrome Web browser is powered by a distributed array of goats. In order to prevent the creatures from clogging the tubes, Google uses teleportation to move them between endpoints on the network. A hidden feature in Chrome's task manager allows users to see the total number of goats that are actively being teleported for each running browser tab. In Chrome's task manager, right-click the task table—check the "Goats Teleported" item in the context menu.
> So when Vietnam invade Cambodia and overthrew the Khmer Rouge, we should have defended the Khmer Rouge’s “territorial integrity”?

There are plenty of arguments to defend Vietnam in that instance. There are zero to argue that it wasn’t an invasion.

> Sound familiar at all?

Nah it doesn’t because that was America getting involved in a revolutionary/civil war for our own interests entirely. We were the invaders then, like Russia is now. And guess what, the US wasn’t the good guy in Vietnam just like Russia isn’t in Ukraine.

Sending war material to a people defending their homeland against invasion is a war I am completely comfortable getting behind ethically. Come back to me if we start putting boots on the ground in the region or Ukraine start taking Russian regions and it’ll be a lot more gray for me

"Accessibility" is an overly broad topic so you shouldn't expect any consistency.

Charger standardization around USB-C really isn't that abusive or produces much if any regulatory capture, and it is pretty easy to understand what needs to be done.

These disability laws hit every business with a website and there's no easy standard to show that websites are compliant, they are an example of regulatory capture since larger corporations will be able to hire the staff to audit and implement the changes required, and they're vague enough that they produce an army of lawyers.

The principle and intentions behind the disabilities laws are fine, but they either need to solely target larger firms or they need to have clear guidelines for what gets audited and remediated. If the government ran a free service which would scan your website and give you either a clean bill of health or a list of remediation steps that would be better. Tossing it over the fence to let the lawyers have a field day is poor.
Yes, I need a bug report button.
Last time this was posted, I asked for an example of any real-world incident which would have been prevented by DNSSEC. I have never seen one, but it would be interesting.

P.S. Lots of hypothetical examples were given, but I'd like to see an actual case.

P.P.S. tptacek try to hold your tongue for at least a little bit before piping in with your usual response. :)
Well, this could be done this way,

1. A Linux VM which has steam installed on it.
2. A project like virglrenderer[1] for macOS and which processes Vulkan commands from the VM with virtio-gpu and sends data back. (I don't exactly know how it's done.)

This would allow games on the Linux VM's steam run at near-native GPU performance.
On the CPU side, there still a need for instruction emulation like QEMU. Or, Apple posted somewhere that you can run x86_64 Linux binaries inside the VM with the help of Rosetta. or an ARM64 Linux VM with Steam running via FEX-Emu.

Musk gets the timing wrong almost every time. But he has by and large delivered, on crazy difficult stuff. The guy is a straight up genius, even if his behavior is a little weird.
Can words and word structure capture all ideas?

(I'm using 'words' in a very broad sense as packets of information that can be communicated sequentially).

It's a broader and easier to answer question that covers this specific case.

Another interesting question is, are there disjoint sets of words and word structure (meaning that they cannot be 'transpiled' 1:1 into one another) that can describe and predict physical phenomena just as accurately as another? Particularly the set of words and word structure that we've come up with so far as a species?

Some recent experiments seem to suggest, yes, there are combinations of variables that can fully characterize certain physical phenomena that cannot be translated into our current understanding. This means there can be parallel and equally valid and precise models of reality.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s43588-022-00281-6.epdf?shar...
I'm having trouble following the metaphor. You seem to be saying that it's a... I guess "unfortunate coincidence" that Musk has had a handful of successful (well, outrageously successful) projects, because it makes exposing him as a fraud for the unsuccessful stuff difficult? But... isn't success the goal here and not punishing fraud?

Would the world really be a better place if we viewed every failure as disqualifying?

I use an iPad for work sometimes and the one killer feature for me is built-in cellular. I can just rip the iPad out of my bag and go, anywhere I may be.
The dark side of these ADA like laws regarding websites (IMO) is that they are often used as a way of controlling content. Big companies like traffic to hit their sites and services so they actively support legislation that limits the playing field.

If someone wants to throw up a website that has tips for wiring home electricity, or how to fix old arcade cabinets .. they want this info on their platform.

This is unfortunate because there is no need to use youtube and other sites if you don’t want to.

Just because I decide to publish for free a simple website that has info on old arcade units from the late 80’s and early 90’s I should have no legal requirement to make it “accessible”. This is just a hobby and I like to toss information out on the web.

Now the suggestion of just use google/youtube and let them make it accessible … is a dark corporate controlled future of the web.
That's an argument that cuts against DNSSEC, not for it. There's no transparency in the DNS PKI at all.
> knowing everything there is to know about sex without actually practicing it is not the same as having sex.

Your premise only seems plausible as you state it because you are not actually considering the implications of knowing everything there is to know about sex. But knowing everything there is to know about sex includes knowing what it is like to have sex. So the real premise you should be stating is that it is not possible to know everything there is to know about sex if you have not actually had sex.

And, as you appear to realize, making the appropriate adjustment in how the premise of Jackson's Mary thought experiment is interpreted makes it obvious that the argument is invalid--and I agree that it is.

Selling your digital content on Dropbox vs. Gumroad
Yes. Because if not each and every restaurant, who gets to pick and choose? If the restaurant owners, none. If the disabled, all. And there isn't really an in-between is there? So all is better than none.

Are you arguing we shouldn't have such laws because they don't reach 100% of people? That's letting perfect be the enemy of good.

> I recently went through a difficult situation, during which my partner was unable to visit restaurants, even if they were wheelchair accessible. Was that fair?

It is more fair than if restaurants weren't wheelchair accessible.

> Is it more fair to exclude someone on the basis of their financial situation rather than based on their physical disability?

It is more fair than if they were also excluded based on their physical disability.

>If I were to become disabled and not be able to go hiking, I'd miss it more than going to restaurants. Is that fair?

It is more fair than if you were also not able to go to restaurants.

You see? These are all still better. It is not perfect, but arguing that we should do away with these laws because they are not perfect doesn't help it become better, just worse.

What’s the best way to host a personal blog for max engagement?
I want to practice my writing and blog about topics I find interesting. I mostly want to focus on business/engineering topics and post on hacker news. I don’t care about getting paid, my only goal is to get my writing in front of people who would want to engage with my content. I currently host a static website on GitHub pages but I dont want to deal with the css/html every time I try and do something like embed a photo in a blog post and I’d prefer a wysiwyg editor.

Twitter has been 99% positive for me over the past decade. A really nice tool to just be aware of things happening not immediately around. Even these past few years... People's experience with Covid/lockdowns/travel bans, the Afghanistan evacuation, daily Ukraine updates. Each one of those would require reading a book to get an equal amount of information on, and books take too long to write and publish. I'm gonna miss past-Twitter and hope that something else as positive can exist one day.
Yes, I may do a minimax version with a difficulty setting. That would be fun to do.
Depends how much lower the interest rate for 10 year ARM is.

For example,

https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/

Reports 30 year fixed is about 7.32% and 5 year ARM is about 6.75%. A 10 year would be somewhere between that, but if I was choosing with less than a 52 basis point difference, I would go with 30 year fixed due to less downside risk of my mortgage blowing up.

At 30 year mortgages of 2% to 4%, no brainer to just go with 30 year even though you might pay a $1k more in interest every year. But you might not, and you definitely will not pay more than a $1k extra in interest since it is locked in.

If the 10/1 ARM was 5% and 30 year was 7%+, I would think about the 10/1 ARM.
So carbon atoms are spaced about 0.15 nm apart in carbon metal. So a 3nm process is about 20 carbon atoms.

Impressive.
My parent worked at a water treatment plant in a small town. They could have easily screwed around with the chemical compositions without anyone knowing. Nearly anyone could have brute forced the control room: a single key/lock would need to be bypassed. There was no access control or logging to the room itself, and everyone who worked there had a master key to all buildings and facilities. Lab tests were done on site and were recorded manually, so they could easily just lie about the results.

So basically not supported, and you have to go back to div hell.

There should be some future.js file that you can import to make all this stuff just work in older browsers.
I'm not buying into the whole "top-down government-controlled" argument against the DNS system. Yes, the US has control over ICANN and therefore the root name servers, but the power lies with the configuration of a device's DNS resolver. Any recursive resolver is free to configure other root servers (e.g. OpenNIC). It's currently the ISPs' choice and it more and more transfers over to central resolver like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 or Google's 8.8.8.8. Even operating system vendors have a lot of influence on the default settings for DNS resolver (take the ones advertised via DHCP or choose some other ones). Even browsers could choose to look up names directly at a resolver of their choosing instead of relying on the OS. What gets in the way of this are local corporate-wide domains and the like, but there are several ways to deal with this. The main argument I want to make is, that the power over DNS is not as much with the US Government as you might think.

While it's tough to say with certainty how much revenue is lost, there is certainly lost revenue. Consider that many substitute instances are available at the minimum allowable price (i.e., won't go any lower, there is unused capacity). These could be resold without moving the substitute market.

Music making on the iPad is getting more popular and refined every year and I imagine both the extra screen real estate and processing power could be useful for power users.

Now that it’s got stabilisation, can run DaVinci, and shoots ProRes, I can see the Pro becoming more and more popular with low budget filmmakers and YouTubers.

Some people use the iPad as a portable second monitor and I think the bigger size of the pro is probably better there.

People may prefer the bigger screen size if they’re using the iPad primarily for maps e.g sailors, pilots etc.

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head that hasn’t been mentioned already. I’ll add any more if they come to me.

The future of Twitter should not be akin to a Chinese State platform where millions of moderators pore through every message looking for wrongthink.

We should hanker for a network that treats us like adults, able to think critically about what we’re reading. We shouldn’t need a dubious centralised “fact checking” agency of truth to decide that for us.

Musk is a massive sci fi reader. He knows how dystopia forms.

I hope with his purchase of Twitter, he will nip the creeping authoritarianism and surveillance in the bud, and allow the social network to be a true public square for everyone. Good luck to him.

>But those are all technical solutions to the problem of a missing platform; focusing there misses the point that what will really be missing is a community space. The answer to that is more community spaces, each with their own governance and interaction models. The solution will be an ecosystem of loosely-joined communities, not a single software platform or website - and certainly not a service run by a single company.

Please. Please please please. See the world as it is, not as you would want it to be. Where is the track record of decentralized communities? I think the closest you can get is torrents which themselves really centralized around tracker websites (Pirate Bay etc). Facebook bought itself life by buying another centralized platform- Instagram. it's now losing to an even more concerning centralized platform Tiktok. People are not making libertarian choices on the internet and they never have. Consumer demand has always contradicted libertarians on the internet.

Twitter never succeeded because it fostered diverse communities, it succeeded because it provided one place for them to fight. Let Ethan Klein fight with Ben Shapiro that is what drives Twitter.

> the page you're citing talks (1) about stub-to-cache DNS lookups that DNSSEC doesn't protect at all, but DoH does

Both DNSSEC and DoH can protect against DNS hijacking. DNSSEC can give you end-to-end protection if you use a DNSSEC-enabled resolver and the domain supports DNSSEC, while DoH can only protect one link in the chain, no matter what you do.

> whatever weird thingy your system does, I respect it

What is weird about running a local caching resolver? Most modern Linux systems do that, as far as I know. I simply use one that does DNSSEC verification by default.

I don't see why Android/iOS phones or Windows systems wouldn't be able to do that by default in 2022, if their developers really wanted to implement that.

> it is simply not the case that millions of mainstream users are going to run fully recursive DNS caches on their phones and laptops any time soon.

Yeah, not with that attitude :)
> It's sickening that this is always marketed as bad news, even though we've been in a bubble for the past 20 years.

Everything is marketed as bad news. Bad news sells. The bubble was itself a favorite target.

And FWIW, we're seeing the same thing happen currently with the freakout about inflation. Understood correctly, inflation is just a gauge transform; it doesn't "do" anything on balance. Sure, it moves money around a little because some signals are delayed more than others. But to the extent it does it works to the benefit of almost everyone complaining about it. Everyone with significant debt (mortgages for the folks here, credit cards for the proles, corporate loans for the people folks here want to be) experiences inflation as a reduction in net money owed. It's a good thing for us, on balance. Yet... freakout anyway. Because bad news sells.

That’s why I always advocate for formal training and certification when it comes to using complex software. Sitting down for eight hours or 40 hours in a classroom setting allows users to familiarize themselves or master the other 90% of functions they aren’t normally aware of or haven’t used. There is software that needs to be complex because some job functions are complex, the big focus on collaboration in the workplace now results in people with fundamentally different job functions using the same piece of software which clutters up user interfaces as well.
