>> And your next point - war.

> You're clearly an american. Your country is the only country in the world being involved in wars constantly for 250+ years, achieving so little for so high a price. Your viewpoints mirror the indocrination you've received. It does not reflect reality either.

Impressive.

I didn't defend the average war in general, or any specific war. I certainly didn't defend perpetual war, any particularly American doctine of war, or indeed any particular philosophy of war at all.

What I said was that war is good sometimes (a viewpoint that almost all people hold -- even if we disagree strenuously about how much and when and where and why), and that its conduct, no matter how good the cause, requires the ability accept to causing some horror in the context of a bigger picture.

You read past all of that and jumped straight to a horrible example you can associate with the concept and accused me of believing in that.

That is hilariously on the nose. That is exactly what I'm talking about. That's the style of reasoning I find so typical of veganism, that appears to be to be unhinged. If I'm defending war, I must be defending industrialized perpetual war for any reason, I must be the worst possible person you could associate with any concept of war and they only way for me to have your approval is to give it up entirely. Evil, run away, run away! If I'm defending eating meat, I must be in favor of eating all animals, I must be in favor of doing absolutely anything to them along the way. If I'm willing to kill animals, I must not care about their welfare. No room for tradeoffs or distinctions. No grey. Black and white. Guilt by association is real and travels along the most logically tenuous lines and justifies extreme responses and viciously aggressive social judgement. To get anywhere close to something horrible that can be associated with a concept, anywhere, anytime, mandates running screaming in the opposite direction.

That. Looks unhinged. That is why the perspective doesn't come off to me as admirable, but as unwell.
The Koyaanisqatsi cinematographer went on to become a director himself, and made the movie “Baraka” in the same style. IMHO, it’s even better.
I think what you think the ruling said (Apple does not have a monopoly) and what the ruling actually said (that Apple's market share and profit margins aren't sufficient to demonstrate a monopoly in the digital mobile gaming transactions market, noting that there were unexplored arguments in even that case) are two very different things.

A legal case is decided on the arguments brought, weighed against current law. It's not some black/white definition of universal truth.
I looked at the wikipedia article before I made my comment. It appears neutral, even if they don't have anything nice to say about him, they don't participate in name-calling, which is what I'm suggesting for the title

It's quite bizarre to constantly hear Elon Musk talk about free speech and unbanning everyone, and then this ongoing list of left-leaning accounts get nuked. And not just left-leaning. The Oatmeal's Twitter account (https://theoatmeal.com/) was "permanently banned" couple of days ago for no given reason. Activism got it back, but imagine you're not popular. Your account is gone forever just like that. It's pure chaos.
I live in Singapore. Yes, it's also incredibly safe, clean, and functional. It's a very different place from Tokyo, though.

Chiang Mai in Thailand also seemed safe and trustworthy when I was there a few months ago: eg the locals casually left stuff outside and on their motorbikes, petty theft of unattended items seems to be no problem.

Our neighbour Malaysia seems to have more problems with these issues. Looking into the causes of the differences between countries would be interesting. I suspect in Singapore our development is at least partially the result of deliberate social engineering by LKY.

I can also tell you that after 40 years of 'actually existing socialism' vs 'social market economy', that East Germany had markedly lower trust and safety than West Germany. And the wounds still haven't healed. Switzerland has even higher trust.

You can see similar gaps in Taiwan/Hong Kong vs mainland China.
That's odd. TOTP, not SMS?

It's probably not you that's the problem either way but definitely odd.

Which law is that? When the tulipmania crash happened, did people start consuming more tulip bulbs?
I’m years behind on games, but if I have the choice to play an older (say, SNES) game on a PC emulator or on the Wii U (my newest console) Virtual Console, the PC emulator quality of life is miles better, even though I don’t particularly care about graphics.

I don’t have the time to spend hours grinding at games any more, but on an emulator, I can play every game with my preferred xbox elite controller, and map save state/load state/fast forward to paddles on the controller. It basically eliminates replaying of areas in games due to difficulty, since save/load-state makes death near-impossible, and any parts of the game that are progressing too slowly I can run at 10x speed.
It’s really not that simple. If an artist picks 12 unusual colors to paint a sunset and you copy those exact same colors to also paint a sunset in his style then no that’s not ok.

People on HN have very strong options about this stuff without looking at any of the relevant case law.
Laser will blind humans as well. But thanks, good to know. Car has several cameras. So we need an algorithm for detecting the attack and switching cameras. Blinding 2 cameras at once is much harder. (then blinding human, permanently)
I agree but I tool functional programming course in college. It was hard! Someone who may not have invested enough in leaning basics of FP, I can totally see why Rust feels like a hard language. During the prototyping phase, I also avoid lifetimes and other esoteric features and often use unhealthy amount of Arc and Rc.

Nothing beats Cargo and company and loves compiler messages. Have used NIM as python replacement, and while language is great and nim batteries are decent, the ecosystem is not there. But who would use nim as python replacement!?
In America, good luck. We can’t even get people to enter/exit a train orderly. It’s not an entirely fair comparison though. For example - trains in Japan stop at designated places so the doors line up with the paint markings. There aren’t any on Caltrain/Bart/nyc - so no one knows where to stand. And the conductors don’t have a consistent target.

Or take a busy underground subway. Japan knows to stand on one side and make way for walkers on the other. That isn’t happening in most of America.

But, I just went to Disney world, and that’s about as orderly/idyllic as I think we can get. When all the people there have a similar goal, and Disney has thought up all the processes to remove friction - like trash cans every X feet make it a beautiful place. Their crowd control is also top notch.
> That's my whole point. You're thinking of it from an IP perspective where there are individual devices in some chain and they all need to autonomously figure out a path from my laptop to AWS. The reality is every device between me and AWS is owned by my ISP. They know exactly which physical path ahead of time will get a message from my laptop to AWS. So why waste all the time on the IP abstraction?

The ISP can internally use MPLS to do routing exactly the way you suggest: build a "circuit" between you and Amazon and then route the packets internally in their networks through this circuit, instead of using IP. This works because the ISP has a global view of their network and as such their routers don't need to work independently. MPLS was needed in a time where IP routing was too slow, but nowadays you can get full speed without MPLS.

But anyway, it doesn't matter how packets are routed internally within each network, IP is still required for routing between different networks. Which is actually super common!
How about the steam deck then?
Don't know the exact prices they're going for nowadays but if it's in good condition and you're willing to prove to the buyer that it's hackable, you can probably sell it for at least a bit more than what you originally paid for it.

> ... it’s only legal because there are no laws specifically making it illegal currently.

One might argue that any unlicensed use of copyrighted material is misuse (unless the courts have ruled it is fair use.)

Only the copyright holder may bring action against a potential misuse. Typically, individuals tend not to have deep enough pockets to hire the lawyers to bring the action. And during discovery it may be found that the model was trained on works-for-hire made by humans replicating the original style. Or appeals may continue on at more legal cost, without guarantee of recompense.

Most will decide it’s just not worth it. Until a company similar Getty buys up all the copyrighted material and, in addition to sensible suits, brings spurious legal action against individuals and turns the tables.

how do we know these extra symbols aren't the real message, disguised behind a weakly encrypted run of the mill assassination plot. (who wasn't plotting against Charles V?)

High accuracy inertial measurement and star tracking are insane, especially against the technology level when they were developed.

But I guess they prove that when you work on an existential weapons problem, with a superpower's budget, "technically reasonable" is a lesser concern than "feasible at all".
Convenience doesn’t matter much to some people. When I get a Switch, I doubt I’ll ever play it undocked. I preferentially play Nintendo DS games on the Wii U Virtual Console rather than on my 3DS as I find it much more comfortable.

I was not referring to the submitted product but to the comment above:

>In general I have a concern about these types of products. All these page builder products are so far from actual programming, that I feel like there is a huge chasm between pagebuilders and building custom components.

What I meant was that the chasm doesn't really exist, as you can theoretically already do anything you want with an open source CMS. Building another one wouldn't bridge that chasm it'd just provide yet another CMS product to an already crowded market.

> Could you give an example of the type of actual problem you are thinking about? Then we could discuss why there is no component that solves it already?

Personally, I don't have any. The CMS landscape is filled with all sorts of awesome packages (including perhaps the one submitted here, I haven't tried it yet). My approach is to roll my own with a bunch of individual pieces that others have built (like the TipTap editor). So basically the fictional EverythingToEveryone but without someone providing me a wrapper.
I think you're describing the Midwest. People clear sidewalks and driveways for each other after a snow, unasked and uncompensated. People let each other off public transportation before crowding on. And... there are drunks everywhere. So two out of three.

But what I'm aiming at is this: in less urbanized areas of the United States, the sort of shared ideas that allow successful coexistence exist. It's largely the major cities where you cannot find it.
Isn't there value in a weak halt-checker? Imagine a function that always returns one of:

I still have an instance of Fever running on one of my servers.... but I really need to update the feeds I'm tracking with it. I haven't updated them in ages.
> There’s no doubt part of the success is the chemistry of the product, but the required independent testing to very high standards also likely plays a large part in the quality of the final products.

This is the main advantage to it imho. I hike all day in Northern CA for work, so good rain gear is needed. There are plenty of options without GORE-TEX that are satisfactorily rain proof, but the ones with GORE-TEX are almost always better quality and have a better warranty. The REI Rainer is a good example of something that is generally good enough at keeping water out, but its relatively poorly made compared to their XeroDry jacket that includes GORE-TEX. It just leads to the end product being higher quality.
Sure, and I still say that. It's just that criticism of Musk on hypocrisy grounds is justified, because he bought Twitter to bring back free speech or something like that, which includes crimethinc, and Andy Ngo. Free speech is a uniform criteria, not a collection of special cases.
The latter is hypocrisy.

There's general agreement on what "free speech" means. If Musk wants to claim free speech moral high ground, he has to put up with Chad Loder and crimethinc and Evon Latrail. If Musk bans accounts that he doesn't like that's fine, he owns that particular printing press. But he doesn't get to claim "free speech" and ban accounts, too. That's the very definition of hypocrisy.
When measured by income or accumulated wealth, Singapore has huge inequality.

When measured by things like access to good education, infrastructure, housing, things look more equal.

A big temper to any real authoritarian tendencies in Singapore is that it's easy for our inhabitants to vote with their feet: people can and do leave. Thanks to some special diplomatic deals, Singaporeans have special access to working visas for the US, too. So Singapore can only be as authoritarian as McDonald's: there's no vote for what goes onto a Big Mac, but if you don't like it, you can always go to Burger King.
Nice at first glance! Going forward, what would be the differentiating factors from several other such page builders out there?
The article is basically a nothing burger?
I don't think he's necessarily wrong, but he's been saying this same thing for around 10 years now. At some point it's like Nostradamus saying a "A king will rise in the east one day.."
I rarely play outside the house, and still I prefer my Switch, docked and undocked. Whether I just want to lie on the couch instead of sit on it, or at the table.

One button press and the Switch is off no matter what it was doing, one other button press and it seamlessly picks up again.

The (Ethernet-connected) dock is attached to my TV. All I need to do to play there is either plop the running Switch in, or press a button on the controller to turn it on. It downloads fast over my Gigabit Fiber Connection, and even if it wouldn’t I don’t buy a new game every day.

1440p 144Hz gaming is not worth the massive loss in convenience for me. Graphics get better all the time, it’s not what keeps me attached to a game. As said, the games that I own on Steam as well I rarely if ever play there.
>I miss the home, end and del key on the integrated keyboard.

What do you mean? They’re all there on apple extended keyboards and are accessible via fn key on laptops. I mostly use command/option arrow keys, which, along with shift are also an amazing Mac feature.

>The only way to shutdown the integrated screen and still have the camera usable is to duplicate the screen and diminish brightness to zero. Or use a magnet. Seriously?

I don’t know if I understand you but you can turn the screen off without sleeping in multiple ways, like keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-Eject) or assign a screen hot corner for the mouse.

> No key to show the contextual keyboard.

What?

>Where is my select and paste with middle click, outside iTerm2 (community provided)?

It’s not a thing. I use it for exposé. Sounds barbaric to select with the middle button pressed though. Your dexterity goes out the window.

>Why is there no straight forward way to browse the actual file path in Finder, when a shortcut allows to copy it?

There are a couple. Straightforward might mean accustomed to, tough in this context.

>It's possibly the file manager that made me feel the most clueless in my life.
It is not like everything is utterly horrible, but I was very surprised at how frustrating it could be as a daily driver.

The Finder leads a double life. It inherited traits from both the classic Mac OS (spatial Finder) and the NeXT (column browser). And it shows. Both can be very powerful but their coexistence is confusing at first.
I didn't actually read the article. I was responding to parent - that's exactly how I've been feeling about this :-(

> So to be clear, Europe has pursued its own protectionist economic policies for decades, neglected their military funding, and pursued energy policy that made them extremely reliant on known bad actor Russia, all while poopoo-ing the US, and now that the chickens are coming home to roost they are blaming the US for it?
If anything, it's probably cultural diversity.
A web page isn't "hardcore engineering".
Sorry, this still sounds like architecture astronautics to me. You have an intuition that things could maybe be simpler, which is not a bad place to start, but then you have to ground it in the actual reality.

> You're thinking of it from an IP perspective where there are individual devices in some chain

What do you plan to replace the individual devices with?

Looking at the traceroute in question, something I'd suggest you do for your own, I see one router owned by me, 6 by my ISP, 2 at an interchange, 5 for a backbone, a number of intermediate ones of mysterious ownership, and finally one owned by Amazon, presumably with a bunch of other Amazon hops that are hidden from me.

These are physical devices connected by physical links (wires, cables, fiber). Wires that people installed. Wires that break. Connected to devices that break. What in your proposed grand vision will happen there? Please start with the happy path and then give detail on the failure cases.

A similar problem applies in Amazon. The abstraction they hand you is pretty convenient. But that abstraction is made out of many millions of devices connected up in cunning ways.

Linux can connect two processes because the kernel has total control over a modest number of CPUs and RAM. That just doesn't compare to literal billions of interconnected devices with no central control. It's like saying that because your dad knows your mom's name and how to reach her, he should be able to do the same thing for everybody in his country.
I made my page but when I hit export it gave me a JSON file. I didn’t really know what to do with it.

Was really hoping it would export raw HTML and CCS. Or if the JSON file is necessary, a complete project with the JSON file in it.
They’re more egalitarian because their vision of a good life (working hard, getting married, raising kids, and following the rules) is attainable for nearly anyone. Even the elites must abide by that definition at least publicly.

In modern secular society, elites use their power to define a vision of a good life that reflects their own life, but is unattainable for the average person: living comfortably in a big, interesting city, having an interesting or impactful or glamorous professional job, being a famous performer or fame-adjacent, etc.
Crypto’s collapse may have done the economy a favor
Notably, almost every other Arm A series processor which supported PAC also was susceptible to the same attack [1], the issue is just that actually buying such processors is nigh impossible (up until this year it was actually impossible, now you just need to do research on a phone SoC) whereas anyone can buy an apple silicon device from a million different places.

> Showing a causal relationship here would involve explaining why many other western countries with much more relaxed policing laws also seem to be safer than the US. I would guess a more likely reason is that more foot traffic reduces crime.

Just looking at the US (and those other countries) over time as well would also be interesting.

If memory serves right, violent crime in the US increased between 1970s to 1990s and has since decreased. I don't think that development maps well to pedestrian traffic?

I have no idea if that is legal or not, but it is an extremely common practice. For example, that is the scenario when someone on Deviant Art creates fan art of any cartoon.

And why should that be a problem? This is a King Canute and the tide scenario. We may as well bow to reality and admit that it is ok.
Tempting, but part of the draw of the Switch for me is its controller situation. I often play it propped up with the Joycons detached, one in each hand. Steam deck I would always have to hold in my hands, and can it be docked then?

I’ve thought about getting one, but I have a feeling the games that I want to play on a computer instead of my Switch won’t benefit.
Yeah a lot of those places are aldo pretty safe. Not that it proves a point but it doesn't prove yours as well.
The non-cynical take removes the clearly defined heroes and villains in the narrative. Who wants to spend their time consuming mass media if it is just going to be as boring and confusing as real life?
it's true for everything. You can even more so control the lighting and orientation of a desktop. Matte screens are the industry's worst mistake and I just can't understand why everybody hadn't ditched them already.
I genuinely feel your pain. Went through the same experience with my father. Multiple myeloma. 18 months.

Strangely enough it left me immune to images and videos of human suffering, and they now have no effect on me at all.

But I can't deal with anything to do with animals in pain or suffering.

I wonder if it's something to do with communication. He would communicate what was happening very clearly and was very rational about his wishes.

> Here's a summary of our findings: We located reporting from as far back as 2009 and 2014 that said when Elon Musk ("Elon" herefafter) was a child in South Africa in the 1980s, his father ("Errol" hereafter) at some point owned "a stake in an emerald mine" near Lake Tanganyika in Zambia, not South Africa. Beyond that, we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father's involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America.

I'll add that it's also well known that while Elon's father was certainly well off compared to the average population in South Africa, they were not fabulously rich. They were also anti-apartheid. His father's personal income was primarily from being an engineer, not a mine owner.
