>It sounds like most of the upgrades are about convenience to the power company. Not anything safety related

It's always painful trying to have discussions related to any kind of physical infrastructure on HN because it's absolutely full of people that assume that physical design and maintenance is somehow the trivial, easy part.
Well, I interpreted that a little bit differently. The sentence was:

"speed and competitive pressure in the private space race make workplaces necessarily unsafe"

I took that as meaning "private space companies are moving too fast and cutting too many corners to keep their workplaces safe". Meaning the "necessarily" part is only because companies are choosing this speed (or, similarly, being forced to move at this speed because other companies are also moving too fast/cutting corners).

In other words, I think the author's intent is more damning than you are implying.
This should in turn reduce not only the layers of management but the need for managers to make up for the inefficiencies between "person dictating idea" and "person implementing idea".

It's also a sign to me that our tools for product development are too general purpose and we would benefit from less capable and easier to learn and use DSLs. Those DSLs should at least be extendable from in-house computer engineers who do in fact worry about things like data storage, CPUs, and memory management.
Should really also reflect the company involved. That is peanuts to SpaceX, fine should be in the millions. But, your point on possible civil lawsuits makes sense. As a legal fine, though for a corporation last worth $100B, not enough.
That's weird considering gif creation/hosting meme sites are a dime a dozen and they all go through a realtively short lifecycle of small scale good quality, rapid growth with costs increasing, quality decreasing as adware obfuscates content, and either implosion or buy-out by the mega-site who's users use it.

> If China decides to invade Taiwan surely they'll do everything they can to not give the rest of the world a reason to intervene.

That only works if the rest of the world hasn't already decided to intervene.

And sure - NATO isn't "the rest of the world"; but militarily, it might as well be.
Problem is that in general we want foo=bar to replace any previous value of foo.

What is the alternative? Android tablets are no drop-in replacement. Ipads are great for music production. Many great apps only exist on iOS. Bluetooth audio introduces a delay which makes playing software instruments live impractical. So dongles until Apple comes to reason.

> We will give Ukraine to Russia if we can save Paris.

Only that you just taught the already aggressive ruling elite of a huge country with an abundance of resources who don't care about anyone including their own except that they need them for work and for the fighting that threatening use of nukes gets them anything they want. Moldova next - it's not EU or NATO, already very low risk for Russia, if they can get there. Which was (is) a stated goal for the current war, to get the entire south of Ukraine to take away their sea ports and to get to Moldova.

They'll try the Baltic states next. Not a full invasion, just lots of little aggressive actions. Even previously they did murders in the EU, financing of radical parties out to undermine current EU country governments, supported by propaganda. I don't know how much it actually influenced US elections, but I think it's save to say they at least tried.

Giving them Ukraine will be massive. They will also have lots more of the oil and gas reserves under Ukraine and around the Krim. They will also get tens of millions of new citizens, lessening the problems of a shrinking number of people available inside Russia significantly. There also are significant parts of former USSR production in Ukraine, which will all go to Russia. They will also own even more of the prime agricultural lands of Eastern Europe, which at least so far seems to suffer less than Western Europe (look at the heat maps of this summer) under climate change so it may become even more valuable than it already is. The land is some prime real estate - unlike Siberia, Ukraine is much better, you can't look at the map and think "it does not add all that much to Russia" because the value of Ukraine lands is much higher.

I have no idea how you get this idea. Giving up Ukraine is really, really massive in its long term consequences, greatly strengthening Russia directly as well as showing them that the means they use actually work. This would be a gigantic loss for the West.
We've had this argument more than once and I still disagree with that take. I took a .NET application through those transitions and there was never a "from scratch rewrite" step at any point. A lot of cheese moved and there was sometimes quite a bit of XAML shifts to meet new UI expectations, but most of the business logic code stayed the same or barely changed. On the other side, I've seen Apple enforce equal or worse "enforced" rewrites between major iOS versions with not even a fraction of the complaints Microsoft got across those product versions.

(I had more inconvenience moving apps back and forth between WPF and Silverlight in some of the years prior, and even those moves were never from-scratch rewrites. Admittedly that may have left me with more skills to handle XAML changes and write to lowest common denominator XAML, so I am aware of my biases.)

I realize you aren't ever going to agree with me on this, and I don't expect you to. I do think it is still useful for other people to see that there are counter-opinions here.
> If you'd scale BTC to the amount of tx operated by VISA/MC, you'd need around 50% of the world electricity

Well, it doesn't make sense to scale the main chain in that sort of way, because you'd be looking at blocks the size of several terabytes in order to fit in global scale transactions. And so running a node would then require you to basically run a data center, which wouldn't make the system decentralized at all.

Electricity for mining is also not directly related to transaction throughput. Mining is the arbitrage of bitcoin price and electricity/mining hardware cost. The system technically does not need more electricity to secure the same amount of transactions. What happens is when bitcoin's price goes up, so does that arbitrage value, giving mining a profit incentive.
As always, it is a question of degree. A young adult in the 70s had plenty of time to reflect and live outside. The technology of the preceding 50 years has not made this more accessible. If anything, the slot-machine nature of our computing reduces the likelihood of it.

I migrated from BitBucket recently and was surprised at how BitBucket was often ahead of GitHub in CI and API breadth. I guess I mistakenly thought GitHub would be miles ahead with its popularity and backing.
Ok, then Americans with disabilities or whatever.

The point is, most companies don't release this information and I believe there are legal reasons for that.
>Additionally we still have a situation where if you have a pain in your arm and are uncovered you're in a pretty rough spot.

Correct, and I believe that market forces will reduce the costs there by making health choices economical. Walmart tried to get into the market of providing basic health care clinic at their stores. They dropped the program because the regulation were so over bearing even they could not make it profitable. The root of the high costs is government...

However at the heart of this is the underlying debate of if healthcare is a right. People that believe it is reject the idea of profiting off healthcare so anything that would allow for profits is viewed as wrong. Ironically many of these same people have no problems with mandating everyone get a COVID Vaccine that is making Pfizer, Moderna, and other billions in profit

I only support the concept of negative rights, so you in that context you should have the right to seek healthcare from the provider of your choice free from government regulations, but I do not believe the government or anyone has the duty to provide you with care. Under that system of rights the best method to provide healthcare for the most people and the lowest possible price and highest quality is a market.

I love how everyone involved always jumps on the most extreme version of the lab leak hypothesis "Chinese government made COVID super weapon" and then use that to discount everything else instead of admitting the much more nuanced reality of the situation.

The lab leak hypothesis has a range from "This virus was created and released by the Chinese government as a bio-weapon against the US and to kill off their own aging population" at the extreme. To the "The virus was being studied at the Wuhan Virology Institute and someone one got lax on safety protocols got exposed accidentally and then took the train home."

Most people that seem to argue against lab leak, seem to assume everyone ascribes to the first position, whereas the majority of the people that believe in the lab leak subscribe to the later position, including myself.
I've been on MacOS for 15 years now. The iOSification and changes for changes' sake in the past years is evident to everyone. As for incompetence, it's enough to look at the new settings app that they shipped basically unchanged since the clusterfuck during betas and fixing only the most superficial of bugs.

No it is not. A Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 for example is still cheaper than the newly announced iPad (US$399) and uses a much more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 CPU.

A14 is still 1.5~2x[1] faster than this CPU, but using a really low budget CPU for comparison is really unfair here.

There is a quota for employment-based green cards (typically 140k/year). The number of applicants that apply each year is larger than the quota. So every year the total number of people who have applied but cannot be approved due to the quota gets larger.

Because of the per-country limit of 7%, these queuing dynamics generally only affect people from countries with large number of applications (India, China). But sometimes there will be a backlog for all countries. The current forecast is that there will be a backlog in 2023 in the EB2 category for all countries.

I disagree. Russia is showing why even wealthy despotism turns into endemic corruption which destroys institutions like the military.

If Russia was currently rolling over the “degenerate, effeminate West,” you might have a point. But lately it seems like capitalism, democracy and the they/thems are doing great on the global field.
People should be blaming decades of both Republican and Democrat spending policies, and a fed focused more on political goals than on solid classic economics which resulted in a over heated stock, and housing market that was never allowed to properly cool even after the market signaled several times there are systemic issues... Instead both the government and the fed just poured on the gas instead of putting water on the fire.

They wouldn't even need to overhaul iPadOS! All they'd need to do is allow Parallels, VMWare or other folks to make virtualization software for the iPad, and people could just run Linux on it (or - gasp! - macOS). The M1 and M2 Macbooks can run virtual machines without a problem, but iPads are not (sigh) allowed to. Despite Apple explicitly and inexplicably selling 16GB models of the iPad Pro.

Sure thing. Mattermost and most open source chat tools not Google searchable. They can offer public communities but unless they are rendering static version of the site it is really not SEO friendly. They are very enterprise/security focused so if you want something secure and private Mattermost is fantastic.

We started out making Slack and Discord Google searchable and search engine friendly see: kotlin for example https://slack-chats.kotlinlang.org/ they have around 50,000 pages indexed by Google. We render a static version for Google while giving you the real time experience of a chat app.

Secondly most large communities end up being a community support channel. So for anyone with customer support experience having your conversation in one place is really crucial as well as some sort of open close state. I was also the author for https://github.com/papercups-io/papercups which made me a bit opinionated in terms of community/customer support

Finally most communities end up being too noisy and in part is because it is designed for chat. I actually don't think there is a great solution out there to manage conversations at a large scale and we think we can innovate on the UX of it.

Three points make a plane, a fourth point is redundant. Three equidistant stool legs are stable on any surface regardless of flatness, but four equidistant stool legs need to be aligned correctly with a non-flat surface to be stable.
It’s a replacement, but not a good one. If you want good sound quality and the ability to charge at the same time then it’s quite a bulky dongle. The audio quality varies massively too, so if you mix / master on one and then it breaks, you have to replace it with the exact same one otherwise your next mix / master isn’t going to match the last one. And if they’ve stopped making that one, you’re screwed. All of these are problems Apple have created for pro users of the iPad Pro by removing the jack.

I find your thinking sloppy. There, was that helpful?

"better without someone else being at least slightly worse off"

Exactly. The point (if you go back through my comments) is that there seems to be a demand and supply imbalance based on the skill/type of labor. We should be looking at ways to slow higher end wage growth and promote it in the lower end. One way to do this could be around education. Essentially, increase the number of developers on the market while decreasing the number of people who are only qualified for the lower wage work. We've kind of seen this with the pandemic shrinking the labor force and driving those lower end wages higher.
> at room temperature the average velocity of a particle is a staggering 460 m/s so to make the particles visible I’m showing their motion significantly slowed down

Isn't 460 m/s the speed of the shock waves?

I mean, it you make some "air particle" move, it'll hit a nearby particle, and so on, and this wave has a speed of 460 m/s. In a solid object (wood, for example) the particles are close together and the speed will be greater. If you remove air particles it'll decrease the pressure and the speed will be slower...
