I mean dudes setting up antiaircraft weapons in random fields isn’t enough?

Several airlines had already rerouted around the area before MH17 was shot down for reasons obvious at the time, there was active fighting and antiaircraft activity and airspace restrictions in place.

It was foolish and irresponsible to be flying anywhere near there at the time.

1. Thinking avoiding (legally or not) paying taxes) for not agreeing with what the state does makes you someone who identifies as a sovereign citizen makes no sense. There are more than enough sane moral/ethical reasons why someone might want to avoid that... while still living in society and being a productive member of it. We're constantly sold the statism Kool-Aid that paying taxes is sacred and to turn a blind eye to how the money is used, but this is just not right.
2. He isn't even abusing anything. The state is abusing people's wealth, on the other hand.

> The ultimate vision is/was to have everything run in the cloud. Imagine if you could run any app on the most powerful machine in the world.

IMO the core paradigm shift that needs to happen is for the software and infrastructure to become commoditized. The only way for cloud-everything to not be a nightmarish abuse of the end-users is for the mode of operation to change, from the current "data comes to the app", into "app comes to the data". That is, I believe the data, the application and the compute running it need to be independent to the extent possible.

In particular, the choice of an app and where it runs should be entirely up to user. The user should be able to easily switch from e.g. a cloud run by Amazon to e.g. a "cloud" run by their HOA in the basement of their block of flats. And then possibly switch to a cloud run by a company local to their city, or one of their employer, etc.

The primary point behind my view is to prevent application vendors from being able to take their users hostage by keeping users' data under lock on their own infrastructure, accessible only through their own software. The second point is to increase efficiency and boost local markets worldwide.
It's slightly more complicated. The main idea of special relativity theory is that you can't compare "time" at two separate points of "space". E.g. it makes absolutely no sense to compare age of a twin left on Earth with the age of a twin on a moving space ship as long as they are not at the same point in space. So if you really want to compare age you will have to turn your space ship around and return to Earth. Now, that part is covered not by special relativity, but general relativity. Here we need to consider effects of a gravitational field (any acceleration is equal to gravitation). The most interesting question in the twin paradox is what's the difference between space ship and Earth. Why it's the ship which is accelerating, but not the Earth. Why Earth is considered an inertial system (according to the Newton's first law), but a space ship making U-turn is not.
it does mean that.
I agree with everything you said except for the window manager comment. i3/sway puts MacOS and Windows to shame. I could get used to my work macbook if only it would let me move focus in more than one dimension (i.e. super+left/right/up/down instead of cmd+tab back in time).

MacOS is especially bad because they don't even try to address their deficiencies. They just bandaid over it with an app ecosystem and then don't give that ecosystem an API that's to sufficient to do the job (e.g. the limitations of amethyst and amphetamine re: focus control and lid closing).

> How do you deploy a .NET app these days?

(Note that this is an answer to this specific comment, not to the OP)

The latest .NET builds binaries that work without needing a framework installed on the server. They are effectively just like any other application, so the same tooling you'd use to kick off any executable will work fine.

A simple option might be to `scp` it onto a server and manage it as a systemd service. Or perhaps stick it in a container (it builds cross-platform so Linux is fine) and use a deployment pipeline. If you need extra options then you can front it with nginx etc, but it will also handle direct traffic itself (including TLS).

For persistence you have the usual cloud stuff, otherwise there's great support for Postgres or even fully embedded SQLite or similar. And .NET is very performant too, so for most use cases scaling vertically is all you'll ever need (except for redundancy of course).

I could go on with other options, but in brief I think that what I'm saying is when it comes to deployment these days being .NET makes it at least as easy as the alternatives, unlike the old Framework days when it was much more 'special'.
Isn't it fairly easy to roll an LLC or S-Corp into a C-Corp if you need one?
The US just outgrew the USSR and there's no single event that caused that. [0 - keep in mind that's a log scale]

It became untenable for a relatively small economy like the USSR to compete with the US, and Regan 'turning up the heat' may have had some impact, but it was likely negligable.

The Cold War was lost because Soviet-style economic management failed vs. US Style economic management.

What may have been a somewhat equal fight in 1950 was a joke by 1988.

> 44 apple growers… are members of “Next Big Thing, A Growers’ Cooperative” (NBT)… across the United States and Canada. Their ranks include both small and large producers…

> NBT was the brainchild of Minnesota apple grower Dennis Courtier, owner of Pepin Heights Orchards Inc. While Minnesota is a small player in the U.S. apple industry, ranked 20 out of 29 commercially producing states in 2014, Courtier is well known in the industry for new variety innovation. He was one of the first commercial producers to grow and market Honeycrisp apples in the 1990s. Honeycrisp — a “fruit phenomenon” produced by the University of Minnesota’s (UMN) apple-breeding program — has turned the apple category on its head. By 2014, it had rocketed to become the No. 6 apple variety in the United States, based on production.

> Honeycrisp saved [Courtier’s] orchards, but soon it was being grown in geography it wasn’t suited to, and, arguably, being overgrown. The university had released it as an “open variety” — meaning that after paying a small royalty to a variety’s developer, any grower can buy Honeycrisp trees and sell the fruit as they wish.

> If apple growers were to be financially healthy in the long term, Courtier felt that apple production and marketing would have to change.

There is also this description about one of the co-op members (which may explain why other commenters have different opinions about Red Delicious)…

> The Clarks watched the decline of the Red Delicious (Reds) variety from a front-row seat. Chelan was historically known for producing prime-quality Reds. Then the variety was “bred to grow red” in parts of the state that weren’t good “terroir” (or growing territory) for it. That fruit didn’t taste as good or store as well.

> The variety’s popularity with consumers fell far and fast…

> “As consumers ourselves, we know that if we consumers don’t get a good apple, we don’t come back for a while,” says Bill Clark. “NBT is managing who grows an apple, where it grows, what the eating experience is. That’s paramount to the variety’s sustainability

Is that what they told you? You don't "pay into" social security, you _pay for_ other old people's current social security. And you certainly do not "pay into" Medicare. Also the "social fund" of Medicare and social security certainly benefit "the little guy" more than anyone else, which was the whole point I was making. Also, who is "we?" Some people would rather have that cash for themselves or invest it on their own. And technically all taxes can be called a "social fund" so I don't see hiw this point even begins. If you go to jail for not paying into a "social fund" it's tax revenue.

Show HN: I’m launching a new side project every day
Hey HN, for the past few months I’ve been launching a project almost every day. It’s a sort of experiment to see if we can build something agency-increasing every day, and we’ve learned a lot since we’ve started.

You may have seen some of our more random projects of ours on HN, like: scrollwheel.js, ghostlystock, oldestsearch.com, iPod Social and we’ll have plenty more on the way soon.

One fun result of starting Same Day Skunkworks is that it made the company I work at, AE Studio, start completing amazing hackathon projects (with our 150+ employees) a few times already this year. Then we decide if we want to polish them enough to turn into real skunkworks companies that spin out of AE (we sold the first skunkworks company a year ago for a number of millions of dollars) or just fun little same day skunkworks projects.

They all start out as small, fun little projects and sometimes become something more. I actually have a huge backlog to get through now and it’s kinda exciting to have more awesome fun projects to bring to life. We’re gonna continue experimenting with this model to build both fun side projects and actual profitable companies too, but mostly prioritize fun agency-increasing things in the short term and just see where that takes us.

We’re trying to make everything as useful as possible, so any suggestions for future projects (or advice on the random crazy Same Day Skunkworks structure we’re trying to build) would be very welcome. Thanks!
I'll go a step further. If you're productive 40 hours a week, then you're a tool, in the pure sense of that word.

You'll be passed over for promotions because you're so good in your current position!

You'll be praised and then one day you'll get a new boss when your old boss moves on. And your new boss will have this need to prove themselves to their boss. And they'll do this by turning your 40 hour week into a 60 hour week. Why? Because you're a tool!

Don't be a tool. Do what your boss does - spend time talking to people around the company - thats what lunch meetings are all about - figure out how to get those expensed! Get to know everyone and follow up with them frequently. Invite them to non-work things. Go home early because you have a life.

Unless, of course, your work is your life. In which case, you're leaving the dream, bud!

Before making offensive comments, have you thought about the meaning of my statement?

For example, a modern DE offers desktop notifications. I still have that by running a desktop notification daemon, dunst, despite just using X plus a window manager but no DE.

Linux is very much broken into small composable components, the same way Clojure is. To take this comparison further, it is extremely ignorant to claim you can't have the same functionality Rails offers just because you don't use a big framework (which is the equivalent to a DE).
Java uses multiple threads even for single threaded code, the JIT compiler has threads, the garbage collector has its own separate threads. I don't see why a JS implementation wouldn't be multi-threaded even if it is presenting a single threaded environment.

Why the Afghan Government Collapsed [pdf]
not quite - you have to think like a government. If people get paid less, the people who finance a given company get to keep more money, it might also be cheaper for consumers. The government has its hands in every stage of every economic interaction. What's "lost" in one area is made up in another. Even a drug dealer has to go to the gas station for example.
Us freight does not have tiny margin, they pay a large dividends and have spent 100s of millions in stock by back.

> Freight rail regularly delays maintenance and upgrades until unavoidable for cost reasons.

They are gradually running down the infrastructure built 100 years ago into the ground and maintain at the bare minimum while making large profits.

> The US gov't is loathe to make American rail less competitive and force it to electrify, so they continue running polluting trains.

Electrification would make it even more profitable then it already is.

Pretty much every single study done on electrification shows that it pays for itself in a pretty reasonable amount of time. Given that this is something that would still be useful 100 years from now, the US government forcing all first class to invest in this would be of huge benefits both to them and to the US as a whole.

Asahi Linux has way better battery performance than any typical x86 laptop almost entirely because of the M1 chip itself [1].

Apparently part of the genius of the chip is that they baked a large chunk of the power management logic into the chip itself.

I think Linux has work it could do to be more efficient, but really we should just be mad at Intel/AMD for not doing what Apple did years ago. They never even offered an option for those willing to sacrifice compatibility. And now they're going to start looking the entire portable electronics market (little bit hyperbole, but I don't see my self buying any new computer that isn't an M1 something for a long time especially as Asahi Linux is making such good progress and I can use Linux on whatever Apple releases in the future).

Which probably represents an adverse selection problem for Amazon. Their best employees have seen their long-term comp prospects decline significantly (along with everyone else), and now have added uncertainty about their future at Amazon, whether or not they're laid off. If they are, they're going into a competitive market with fewer FAANG-level openings being hired for. If they aren't, they're bag-holding for the same amount of software with fewer team members to cover it.
