If that was all there is to it, there would have been no House of Representatives. But people who authored the Constitution knew full well that it was not just about the states:

"... if, in a word, the Union be essential to the happiness of the people of America, is it not preposterous, to urge as an objection to a government, without which the objects of the Union cannot be attained, that such a government may derogate from the importance of the governments of the individual States? Was, then, the American Revolution effected, was the American Confederacy formed, was the precious blood of thousands spilt, and the hard-earned substance of millions lavished, not that the people of America should enjoy peace, liberty, and safety, but that the government of the individual States, that particular municipal establishments, might enjoy a certain extent of power, and be arrayed with certain dignities and attributes of sovereignty? We have heard of the impious doctrine in the Old World, that the people were made for kings, not kings for the people. Is the same doctrine to be revived in the New, in another shape that the solid happiness of the people is to be sacrificed to the views of political institutions of a different form?"

It is too early for politicians to presume on our forgetting that the public good, the real welfare of the great body of the people, is the supreme object to be pursued; and that no form of government whatever has any other value than as it may be fitted for the attainment of this object. Were the plan of the convention adverse to the public happiness, my voice would be, Reject the plan. Were the Union itself inconsistent with the public happiness, it would be, Abolish the Union. In like manner, as far as the sovereignty of the States cannot be reconciled to the happiness of the people, the voice of every good citizen must be, Let the former be sacrificed to the latter."

And here's a bit more specifically on the nature of the government that they were trying to establish:

"The proposed Constitution, therefore, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal Constitution, but a composition of both. In its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them, again, it is federal, not national; and, finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal nor wholly national."

He doesn't seem to mention what I find worst of all: ads in iOS itself, such as in Settings!

IIRC those ads were for subscriptions to Apple-owned services, but I still hate them.

Pushing ads through system notifications from Apple apps was simply abusive, and I hope the practice has ended.
I still like churning butter by hand but I don't really expect the local hardware store to carry a wide selection of butter churns you know?
It's kind of funny because a lot of the complaints come precisely from people that publish their code through copyleft (such as GPL) licenses.

As it is pointed out in the article, sharing is starting to become the default for many developers out there. And personally I think this is a great thing, and I think the author agrees. But copyright is built on a rewards-idea, which counters the altruistic nature of sharing. If you expect something in return you're not actually sharing, but lending.

And I think this is where the issue becomes really tricky. There's a societal expectation of reward, we don't live in a sharing economy. I actually want to live in a society where tools such as copilot or AI generated art do not harm artists or developers but improve the capabilities of people who previously couldn't do as they wishes for lack of time, patience or skill.

But it seems to me like we can't really make use of our collective knowledge building to the fullest under our current economic and societal paradigms. Now, I'm not sure what kind of society is the one that can truly achieve what we want; but I think it's worth thinking about. And to me, this copyright/machine assistant issue is right at the center of this problem. And, well, not just that but technology as a whole is always a driver of societal innovation as it puts societies in such dire contradictions.

Though I do wish artists and people affected by copilot wouldn't focus so much on their individual detriment and would take a bit of a step back and think more about what do we actually want for society as a whole. To me, and I think the article does a pretty good job at explaining this as well, the issue seems to be much bigger than individuals being hurt by the actions of a corporation.

> I know people that use dictation for the majority of their text messages and email.

Yeah, I'm one of them. The iOS keyboard has slowly become so bad that it's easier to dictate instead, and my partner does the same while driving via CarPlay. This is horrible to read about.
I absolutely agree with your view. Maybe people forgot about this incident which happened post-Snowden.

There's also middle ground. OpenRC doesn't need those weird numbers while still being simple sysvinit/bash scripts-based system (it has a simple dependency system too). I'm not completely sure about `shutdown` level scripts having access to network though (too lazy to check), but it's still worth mentioning here.
My partner uses it constantly while driving. It's illegal to use a phone while driving, and we have cameras everywhere that will catch you if you have it in your hand and smack you with a near $500 fine and points on your license. So dictation is extremely common.

> It's very deliberately built in to the American political system that the will of the half-plus-one majority does not dictate the direction of the whole country.

The problem that we have is the reverse - a half-minus-one minority can (and occasionally does) dictate the direction of the whole country. Tyranny of the majority is bad, but tyranny of the minority is even worse.

It really depends. The air that you exhale is hot and humid. As soon as it touches the exterior walls, it will condensate. I'm talking about a house that is not insulated, but also does not leak air out (new windows with good seals). If it leaks some air out, then the condensation is very limited as outside cold air is dry in winter.

It might be like you said only if you don't use that room, or you have a big house so maybe you don't use most rooms and then you don't fill them with humidity from your own breath. Walls are cold but also dry.

Opening the windows in the winter is how you let all that humidity out.

It's a tool that significantly improves productivity. I've been a programmer ~15 years and the amount of time it saves me from looking shit up on the internet is insane. I think most people who say it doesn't work either aren't giving it a fair shot or don't know how to use it (in a real project, writing code with comments).

This productivity improvement should be advancing the open source community even faster, but instead most people are just pissing on it for various ideological reasons.
Interesting that the page defines "sensitive data" as data "from Contacts, Mail, Messages, Notes, Photos, and real-time or historical precise location data — or similar user data — that would normally be prevented by the system." Notably missing is access to the microphone or camera.
I’m so confused? Why wouldn’t you make Compare fast and add the optimization? I’m sure someone will run into a logically equivalent to a 3-way compare situation that the compiler can’t detect.

Hiding language features in optimization passes is a dangerous game. It’s one of the reasons I don’t like implicit tail calls.

I guess I was thinking that HN is a very multinational forum, and I don't know what people in other countries would call the Vietnam War.

How is this an argument? Price is taking into consideration the dividends. Also Cisco didn’t start paying dividend until 2011, when CSCO was trading at $20 or so.

It is not. It is just a war emergency.

Getting those ramshackle old nukes into good-enough shape to turn back on, and then running them, was correctly recognized as much more expensive, and otherwise riskier besides, than building out renewables. That was proceeding on schedule.

The gas shortage upset schedules.

Had they chosen not to build out renewables as they did, they would be in even worse trouble now.
A company needs to be valuable today with growth investments that can make it more valuable over time. That is what a stock valuation is. If Zuck had raised bonds or sold his stocks & funded his Meta madness, then he could have used the current cash flow into improving the operations of the current business, improve the margin & manage business threats to maintain the market position. He is definitely a kid without any adult supervision at this point.

It was commensurate with your reply. What exactly is the cause and what is the effect that you think I have backwards?
In Russia and China, the constitutional amendment process isn't really democratic, so it's not a fair comparison. In particular, all the various Russian referenda on constitutional amendments since 2000 are about as meaningful as the recent referendums in occupied Ukrainian territories. So it wouldn't matter even if it were as hard or harder to amend as the US constitution - not when the parliament and the regions consistently vote unanimously for anything that Putin puts in front of them.
I’d be a very different person without games when I was young. Got me into programming, thinking beyond my immediate reality… etc. More stimulation is probably good for development, that’s how pathways form, I have been told.

I mean, sure, but I’m just saying point me to a source that is ranking Python as #1 or #2 most popular. If it’s TIOBE or something similar it’s meaningless.

I say this as someone that has made their career mostly on the “top 5” TIOBE languages - but that ranking is a bunch of crap for the overall commercial software world.

C? Give me a fucking break. Never in 20 years have I known there to be more C than Java jobs.

And now everyone and their dog including doctors and other non tech-savvy professionals are doing Intro to Python courses (and then never touching it again) so they too can feel like they know something about ML or stats. Lot of noise.

Just want to chime in and say that I completely agree. From a technology perspective it’s interesting, from a human factors perspective it’s a complete disaster.

Automating the easiest parts of driving and just expecting a human to jump in and figure out the tricky stuff in an instant is just such a horrible design that it’s hard to see how it’s gone this far.
Just a matter of time before the auto industry heads the way of the smartphone.

The (mobileye) autopilot (version 1) is actually useful and good within its limits. It parallel parks. It summons (in a straight line, like out of the garage). It will maintain speed and distance with traffic aware cruise control. Add autosteer and it keeps its lane well. (autosteer does hunts a bit when roads get super-curvy). But it generally helps drive the car.

Is autopark that bad on the model 3? To parallel park I just pull past an open spot (to let the sonar sensors see the gap) and when the P symbol shows up, put it in reverse and press [Start] on the display. It usually parks better than I could especially with tight spots.

Yes, the modern dual cyclone bagless vacuum is Dyson's invention[1] and was subsequently adopted by the industry as a whole (including Hoover, Electrolux, etc..) Cyclonic separation had previously been used in central vacuum systems and canister vacuums but not in portable upright vacuums.

The design was so successful that Dyson became the most popular vacuum cleaner brand in the UK, and it remains so today.

I was there to teach them, the problem was most of them didn't have the intrinsic motivation to learn. Everyone was excited to be assigned some work, but only a handful of students actually went through and finished the tasks they were given, while most were content to simply get on their phone or play an online game.

A decade ago, I was a student on the team, and I remember everyone doing a lot more with a lot less. We had to program microcontrollers with Stamp BASIC, pull reference books off the shelf, and go on epic debugging journeys. The team today was overall far less motivated, although the exceptional programming/technical skills of certain students was unlike anything we had 10 years ago, and it was this handful of students that pulled the entire team forward.

One time a parent of a notoriously lazy student asked me how they were doing, and I answered honestly that their kid doesn't do anything but play games on the Internet, and they would be better off using their after-school hours playing a sport or literally doing anything else. What followed was a vile and vitriolic rant
about how their kid was the leader of the Lego robotics team, and maybe it's because you aren't assigning them the right work, and on and on. Just one decade ago, students can and did get kicked off the team for being lazy, but you can't deny anyone an opportunity these days...

Highly efficient and utilitarian in both cases.

Yes there are some. Eg: Acura MDX. It uses the mobileye chipset and can barely make a highway turn. The car is good otherwise, but it in no way compares to the Tesla ADAS (I have daily driven both). The Tesla has done several trips to LA and back with >1hr between touches on California i5. my commute on bay area 280 feels far more natural on Autopilot when cars cut me off etc. I think performance depends significantly on what roads people drive.
NZ is filled with mammals (and a few fish) that have a deleterious impact on native flora and fauna because the predominantly UK derived colonists wanted to build a more egalitarian society, and apparently the restriction of hunting or fishing for certain species to the wealthy in the UK was a key part of that.

So we got red deer, fallow deer, whitetail deer, samba deer, rusa deer, sika deer, chamois, tahr, salmon and trout.

And indeed, hunting them on public land is very egalitarian indeed, as is fishing for them - no such thing as a private river, although some landowners are attempting to privatise prime trout rivers by stealth.
