How Chile's left derailed their chance to re-write the constitution
It's typical "I'm helping!" feel-good activism achieving exactly nothing at best, negative gains at worst.

But hot damn some are terrible. I'd even go as far to say that some are worse insult as original, calling someone "non-vocal, non-verbal" instead of just "dumb" sounds like a better burn than original.

"This proposition was clearly written by someone neither vocal nor verbal"

Housing is consumption for the person living inside of it. It is a depreciating asset and you have to constantly put work into it. The only part that doesn't depreciate is the community around the house and that isn't an investment either.
All estimates get padded anyway. The estimator adds 10%, because he doesn't want to lowball himself. Then the boss adds another 10%, because all developers are optimists.

Then the sales dude just pulls a number out of his fundamental orifice.
I'd love an alternative but none of the suggestions integrate directly with IFTTT[1] which I use extensively to stuff things into pinboard. Tens of thousands of things over the years.

(I also requested my archive a couple of weeks back with no result. It's disheartening.)

[1] It's possible that some of them could be integrated via the Webhook functionality but eh.
Agreed, the best argument for most people is the fixed payment for housing. As time goes on, your income will grow but your payment won't (minus taxes). Additionally, you are paying for tomorrow's housing at today's pricing. That is far more powerful than the argument about paying the landlord vs paying the bank.
Sorry I said WhatsApp above when I meant WeChat. Video alone is not revolutionary, nor are payments. We don't disagree that much.
I really feel this is an infra problem rather than a dev problem though; the reverse-proxy should strip 5xx response bodies before the egress no?

In case somebody still reads this a theory: Maybe they want to get standard into GNU coreutils, so it natively works with tar etc. for that GPL may make things simpler politically.
Look at the founder's discussion about the tyranny of the majority. Something which pure democracy is prone to, if carried to the extreme. It's the reason why we have elected representives and not everything is determined by plebiscite.

If you put everything up for a vote, it's easily becomes a situation where most people are happy on individual issues, but no one is happy on average of all the issues.
A lot of NASes can host web sites. My Synology NAS is just a computer without a monitor.

I know it's point-and-click to run Apache on it. (I personally haven't set it up.) At some point I might try to set up NodeJS to run some blog software I wrote between jobs.
Are Mac Pros even a viable platform for professional users given the infrequency of upgrades of the platform? Intel Xeon W-3275M is more than 3 years old at this point. Can people with demand for so much compute even afford to not get modern hardware?

> I need you to understand that even before Elon, brands were already extremely on the fence about allocating budget towards Twitter.

I work in digital advertising and this claim seems weird. Twitter is expensive compared to other channels, but it's an integral part of many media plans going for reach in b2b / tech / high-income.
> If you own you’re paying mortgage interest and real estate taxes and both are tax deductible

Side note - As I understand it, you cannot deduct either of those if you take the common standard deduction. In high cost of living places I am told that these deductions do outweigh the standard deduction.
An excellent illustration of the beginnings of an SJW dystopia. Not just the list itself, but the general feeling of fear they want you to feel while speaking. One can draw a link between any word and a possible harm - something that a few comments have hilariously shown with some examples. So if the goal was protecting anyone from every possible harmful word, the list fails.

But this demonstrates real evil that hides behind compassion and empathy, because preventing harm is not the real goal. The real goal is the assertion of power to police speech. Once you have that, you can do whatever you want with it to build a utopia where people aren't allowed to say things you don't think should be said. Even SJWs have to decide: what's worse, letting people say "lets bury the hatchet" without realizing they are "appropriating native culture", or putting an arbitrary group of unaccountable people in charge of what everyone says, in full knowledge of how that power can and will be abused?

Good heavens this whole thing is astonishingly stupid.

You are right, the figures have the same poor resolution. I didn't notice that because they just look higher quality in the PDF because they are seen in context.

As for your bottom line:

* Of course you can make HTML pages with KaTeX/MathJax that look great. I have done it myself, and this very HN post also points to such a web page.

* While a webpage is often fine, for anything I will spend a significant amount of time reading, I definitely want a separate entity, a book or a paper, that I can have in my library. There is no such format currently that has satisfactory quality, except for PDF.

* Non-paginated, free flowing output is the only real option for a phone, but does not work well on a large screen. Your IEEE example looks bad on a large screen, compared to a PDF. I am looking at it on a 27 inch screen, and on an iPad 12.9 inch, and it shows me one column, which separates the images from each other and from their context, and makes it harder for me to scan back and forth between related content. Pages provide a context, even though an admittedly rather arbitrary one, and non-paginated text is missing that context. You could do two columns, but how would that work for non-paginated text that knows no boundaries?

* For me resizing is not an issue, I take notes on paper or on my computer, but I can see how that might be important for somebody who is willing to trade reading quality. For me, PDFs are clearly superior for digital books and papers to anything else currently out there, at least if they have been created with care. PDFs that have been created by printing an epub or webpage, on the other hand, are useless for me and land immediately in the garbage bin whenever I encounter them.
is the response then, "the universal reasonableness implies we don't need to guide and caution people from using it"?
I promise you this isn’t a “let’s wait and see” situation.

Nobody is going to be splashing out the kind of money needed to buy a Tesla as a car they up until this point they hated at a conceptual level to “own the libs”.

These are some of the most insecure men alive that we are talking about here. They don’t want to explain to their friends why they are suddenly driving an electric vehicle. They will look for a million other performative ways to own the libs before they ever consider that.

Why the woes of Harry and Meghan tell us little about British racism
It's the age old "people fail at X, because government and society conspire to sabotage them. But the exact POINT at which they fail, very rarely, is Y, so Y is to blame!". Y is always unpopular, and usually banks, homeowners, police, large companies, older people ... never popular or large government institutions like universities, the education system, tiny companies, racism and expectations in the general population ... that are of course the real culprits.

Lack of homeownership is not what's making the US poor lose money. Lack of income is what's causing lack of homeownership. Lack of income is caused by society and government sabotaging these groups.
Their point was that the Amiga was a gaming machine, and they had no intention to make a full personal computer out of it, at least that was their idea when they stubbornly refused to ship it without a hard disk. That would be understandable given the high prices of storage back then, but they also insisted with low res graphics and lack of a cheap RTC chip, which killed almost all chances to use it in offices.
I consider myself brave for having drawn my own business cards using Pagestream on a A500 with one megabyte of RAM and a flickering interlaced TV screen.
It is great to see an organization have a frank discussion of this sort of thing.

The big difference is that Elon Musk is a powerful figure who has far reaching impact on our society, whereas Hunter Biden is a nobody that the right is trying to turn into a somebody for political gain.

There's plenty of reason to believe that the whole Hunter Biden story is a complete fabrication, but even if it's not, and he goes to prison, it still doesn't mean much to society as a whole.
That's most of the developed world now. People are having fewer kids and having them later, all or almost all population growth is being driven by the developing world.

Personally, I don't know how the UK puts up with it. My colleagues over there make 1/3 of what I make, have 1/3 the size house, and pay 5x as much for it.
Start a corporation so that you don't need to sell your soul to corporations?
Yes, I am looking to understand how straightforward this is.
Well, you'd better hope the "real social justice proponents" start rejecting it loudly and publicly because otherwise more institutions are going to follow suit. The problem here is that you and anyone who disagrees with this list are now on the side of people who aren't proponents of social justice, and so we're probably stuck with it now.

> If I was forced to pick one government to share my secrets with, it would be the Chinese, because there’s nothing they can do about it.

What makes you so sure about that?

I worry about China because there’s no internal checks to prevent them from doing anything.

Western governments and allies have a long culture of court systems and thinking about balancing constituent needs. That is eroding and becoming more dangerous to the extent western leaders are envious of dictatorial powers and trying to emulate Chinese totalitarianism, but there is a lot of institutional and cultural bulwark against it.

Any powerful totalitarian country should worry people. People underestimate the level of covert aggression in all facets of foreign involvement in regimes with no internal accountability.
> Real estate should be treated as consumption, not investment.

Stopped reading there. Having personal space and a place to live is a human right, must be provided from birth. I wonder how many more articles like that The Atlantic will need to publish in order to please their ESG gods.
Unless you live near the Arctic Circle these are quite rare to see. I thought I saw something similar from sunny Florida and it turned out to be regular cirrus clouds getting lit up by the sun.

Also, a 2D picture doesn't give you the depth information to see that these are really, really far away. Like I've seen meteor showers and have no doubt the altitude they are at. These cloud formations are about that height (50-100km)
I'm absolutely devastated NVIDIA are like this, we can't let them do this. It's such a useful feature with the best latency, stability, and overall performance. With AV1 HW encoding this could've become even better with 4K HDR 120 FPS with minimal bandwidth requirements.

> Not sure if I like the recommendation to not let Black change your code and just give out errors.

Let black format code before it is checked in. Code should not be reformatted for CI or production, and bad formatting should either ALWAYS throw errors (no known defects allowed) or NEVER throw errors (if it passes tests & runs ship it). Consistency is the key.
Most laptops in the last few years have an option to not fully charge the battery if it's going to sit plugged in. I know this option is available on Dell, Asus, and Apple laptops. I assume others have it as well.
Finally, someone has created an actual idiocracy.
I've also seen ageism as an issue. "They're not going to hire me anyway, may as well put a positive spin on it and retire".
Here's a little thought experiment: when a company has layoffs, do more young people or more old people get the axe?

If we get to a place where people can live healthy lives until they are 300 years old, why do you think someone who finished college 40 years ago will be more valuable for a company than a fresh graduate? Because nowadays we have exactly this setup minus the 300 year lifespan, and often times the company is happy to let go of the senior guy.

Yeah, FCPX had massive growing pains but after a few years, it has matured to be eons better for a modern editing workflow than FCP7. It's sad they had to take so long to get there, a number of people switched to Premiere during that time, but there are still a huge number of individuals and studios who edit on FCPX today.
It is a little inconsistent in that it shows the Bosporus dividing Turkey and even the Suez Canal dividing Egypt, but not the Irish Sea dividing the UK - though the first two are nominally continental boundaries.
Great that you found an exception to the rule, but that is not the reality for the majority of this articles readers.
Curiously, I’ve observed a frequent occurrence of question marks at the end if the sentence begins with “why”.
That last argument is something my wife and I are agonizing over. We own our current small one bedroom condo but want to upsize to something bigger, and preferably with a private entrance. Most likely either a SFH, townhome, or a duplex/triplex. At the same time we don't want to stay in our region (NYC area) forever - probably 5 years at most.
20 years into my career I seriously doubt I'll ever get a $350k offer. Those aren't as common as you'd like to believe.

> So I need to purchase the MP3's in order to do this?

Aye, aye.

> Then I need to spend time on other web sites for music discovery?

One cost of cultivating tastes, as opposed to being fed by a recommendation algorithm, is the risk of possibly hearing music you might not like, as well as the time required spent doing so.

There are open-source music recommendation algorithms but having survived radio payola I consider that approach a step backward.

> This would work if you almost never venture outside of your existing music catalog.

I favor bulk music downloads (more than I could ever listen to) and randomized playlists, but then, I may have a higher tolerance for my tastes not being pandered to.

> I can't even contemplate pirating all these songs,

Seems to me that you are doing precisely that.

> since I find that morally wrong because the paid services (for music) are decently affordable and provide good value.

Wait, you find it morally wrong to infringe copyright (a specious proposition in any case) because the paid services are affordable? What is the price point that makes piracy moral, then?

«
My dad had a laptop in the mid-90s that had a floppy drive, and I think a parallel port, too.
»

When I said "none of them did" I meant that no IBM Butterfly had these things, not that no 1990s laptop did. The 701C is a subnotebook and IBM left out everything it could.

I do have a floppy drive, and it worked fine.

For the rest, when I needed it, I used PCMCIA devices.

«
The Butterfly was meant to be used with a docking station, but I never managed to get my hands on one. I just enjoy looking at it and thinking what a great laptop it was in its day. I'd like very much to have one with a fold-out keyboard today.
»

Oh really? I've never seen a docking station for one.

For the rest, yes, I totally agree. :-)

An interesting take is the Sony Vaio P, which attacked the problem from another angle. It is basically the shape of the keyboard. So it's very shallow front-to-back but had an almost letter-box shaped screen.

I have one. Sadly it's very underpowered, and has a terrible keyboard, poor pointing device, and the VGA-cum-Ethernet dongle I bought separately doesn't work.

The form-factor has immense potential, but this is not a good version of it.
You're right - but the tone of the comments section regarding Valve is very different compared to the mixed bag below typically found below articles of other companies.

Everyone may go too far, but the majority seem to hold Valve in higher regard than nearly any other FAANG, Microsoft, and any other PC gaming storefront aside from GOG (from what I've seen).
Oh, but it can. And already does.

Maybe not for your exact use-case. But "open" doesn't need large numbers, market saturation or a monopoly: those are traits that come from investor-fueled business-models.

A mastodon account that has great communication with seven other accounts is a 100% success! It doesn't need access to billions of people, it just needs to fulfill a need: talk to several fine people. And it often does this just fine with a very small social graph, even.

A musician doesn't need a million streams, they need enough revenue to be an income. On spotify (or youtube, etc.) that, indeed, means "millions of streams". But it could just as well be five tshirts sold, twenty-eight .zip files @ €9.88 sold, and three vinyl shipped in a month.

The "numbers" that mark "competing with" faang, really don't matter. We don't need to make billions, we just need to make a good income.

Yes, but no-one is doing it. Which would point to "this problem isn't as amenable to tech as our initial impression of it would suggest".

>> If small, subtle fouls went unpunished, they'd be an easy way to gain an unfair advantage for your team. So the game would very quickly turn into a contest of how to hide fouls best from the referee.

Right. It’s been long known that it only works for a tiny fraction of products that meet a very specific criteria.

It’s unprofitable for everyone else which is why most companies are totally ok walking away already.

It’s also typically used at a very hard time quantify stage of any sales cycle since nobody actually buys anything directly after seeing an ad on Twitter.

Brands were paying for eyeballs from a very specific kind of audience who are also rapidly moving elsewhere at the same time.

This argument only makes sense if the (monthly) rent payments are more than mortgage payments + maintenance costs.

In most cases, that's not true.
Haha, pwned!

Interesting is that the children of immigrants adopt the reproductive habits of the native population, so their total fertility rate as a group drops below replacement from one generation to the next (unless very religious, but they see a drop too). See Canada, american hispanics, asian-americans (Korean, Vietnamese), muslims in Scandinavia, etc.
Gurman: All-New Mac Pro Still in Testing, but 'M2 Extreme' Chip Likely Canceled
Yes, a Raspberry is a viable option. These days I do most of my computing on a Raspberry Pi 4 attached to my home router:

https://fatcity.it/

One thing you really need is an SSD, though. I use a cheap Kingston, it works great but you must pay attention to the right USB->SATA adapter, picking one that's fully compatible with UAS drivers. For booting directly from the SSD with Ubuntu there is this useful guide:

https://jamesachambers.com/raspberry-pi-4-ubuntu-20-04-usb-m...

Performance wise, this little computer runs mostly like a common VPS, I think on par with a droplet from Digital Ocean, for example. Here some benchmarks:

https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/62022/

If you don't want to share your IP, a Cloudflare tunnel is a great alternative:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections...

Also, another essential tool is Tailscale, with it I can access my home server from basically everywhere just like a LAN connected device: https://tailscale.com/

PS: You can also do your own tunnelling with OSS alternatives, if you have enough patience/time.

Anyway, feel free to ask anything.
Amazon strikes deal with EU to close anti-trust probes
They kinda did? The M1 Air is basically a better version of the 12" skinny Macbook. It's fanless, has a slightly larger screen (13" vs. 12"), and swaps a single USB 3.1 Type-C port for two TB3/USB4 Type-C ports, while knocking $300 off the price and dumping the awful butterfly keyboard. The only downside is that it's a tenth of an inch thicker (0.16"-0.63" vs 0.14"-0.52").
