> Have you lived in the ghetto or in extremely poor neighborhoods?

Yes.

> Those who commit crimes will commit crimes on the whim

The vast majority of the time, that "whim" is "I need cash to buy dinner". This is especially true of people squeegeeing cars.

I would much rather see full-fledged safety nets like UBI, but paying people such that they are no longer dependent on nuisance or outright crime for survival is a start.
Alpine's great. My entire homelab runs on it. Only complaint I have is its IPv6 support sucks. I have to hack together a bunch of scripts to get a reasonable network configuration.
I really appreciated the visualization you provided for that.
Best of HN - what an incredible read.
> that I wonder why no other company has even tried to do that.

I could probably write a whole essay as to why Apple does it better. But if you are old enough, been through a few companies and seen how they work, also spend sometime observing companies outside your own industry. You should be able to find your own answer.

>should I be worried?

Ignoring their virtue signalling, moral judgment and hypocrisy ideals[1]. There isn't much you should worry about. In terms of user experience, it is clearly the best as you have described.

> Sure but they're also enacting their will on someone through a social construct (the legal system) designed by society to enact the popular will on individuals.

Your argument is premised on the law not being for sale and thus the distribution of power being extremely unequal and therefore unjust, but (at least in real life) you're wrong.
Will AI generated speech get banned from social media/YouTube?
Possible progression:

AI voice becomes common (paired with AI-written/rewritten content).

Tons are produced.

No one likes the content, and engagement overall on the platform goes down (perhaps moreso because the AI content makers create large popular channels and good keywording / algohacking so dominate search results / recommendations.

Platform suffers as no one can find content they like on it anymore.

Platform bans AI written / voiced content.

Correct.
I should have quoted the article ". Take solar energy. In 1954, three American researchers at Bell Labs, the R&D wing of AT&T, built the first modern solar-cell prototype."
"Our ability to decarbonize the grid is held back by environmental regulations that ironically constrict the construction of solar- and wind-energy farms."

The issue is the technology to develop solar may be available, but for over 100 years there have been cases where innovation seems to be blocked, by lobbying, rather than undiscovered or undeveloped. While it may have taken years to refine Cove's discovery for commercial readiness, it would not be impossible had their been so much resistance to it. That still seems to be the case today.

I would spend every minute of that train ride studying and looking for new work or housing. Get earplugs (cheap) or noise cancelling headphones(not cheap), maybe both, and drop the excuses why you can't do those things. 5 hours a day is a lot of time, you need to find a way to make it productive until you can improve your situation.

I never had a commute like that, however I did used to have 1.5 hours a day of bus rides. I studied, it was effective.

Does anyone know the name of this visualization and what tool was used to produce it?

Silver Springs is interesting to look at. I think of that as prototypical suburbia and it maps pretty closely to London despite the planning.
The 70-90 chromosomes of the HeLa line may not agree to this easily
It's surprising to me to see this opinion (echoed in scarby2's sibling comment), because outside of the laptop ritual, the other things register as approximately zero friction to me.

In some sense air travel is an exercise in friction and waiting. Standing in line definitely rubs me the wrong way, but others might weight their inconveniences very differently. Perhaps keeping your shoes on should be a separate upcharge from a shorter wait :P
Will the pay phones support Apple Pay?
Given the history of false proofs of the four color theorem surviving scrutiny for decades, I think I'll wait for this to be verified by a computer proof language such as Lean before trusting it.

(This is intended seriously, but I do love the ironic twist compared to historical hesitancy to accept the computer assisted proof.)
In the US it depends on the state you are in. In New York the laws are very much in favor of tenants but since justice doesn't come free, sometimes landlords screw over tenants and tenants don't take effective recourse.
I get what you are saying, but let’s cut it out with the ethical, free speech and other aspects of the Twitter dilemma. Leaving or staying is the same virtue signaling that most people were fighting against during the last few years.

PG likes to do that as much as any other person. I recall a random tweet telling something like “all smart people I know are moving their wealth from bitcoin to ethereum”. This is crying for attention, unfit for such an accomplished person and this great website.
It's unfortunate but telling that the code site has this wording, but there is a steelman version of this type of sentiment. Sufficient neighborhood blight can have a direct impact on the quality of life of the people living in the neighborhood, even if they don't plan to ever sell their house and don't care about resale value. I would argue this is far more the case with things like ostentatious lighting, noise violations, and bad smells than with something like non-functional cars being visible in driveways, and this doesn't personally bother me. I do my own repairs and my next-door neighbor has been working on a project RV for nearly two years now, which I'm also fine with.

However, I am absolutely not fine with the party house AirBNB next door to me on the other side that is constantly hosting bachelor and bachelorette parties with DJs and strippers playing loud music on Sunday night when I need to get up early in the morning to work on Monday, also filling up the entire street with vehicles and leaving nowhere to park for people who actually live here. So yeah, that I'll complain about.
If it doesn't open in my web browser, I'm probably not gonna open it.

That's not how rent seeking works. Rent seeking requires exclusive access to a resource, i.e. an apartment in the original metaphor. Nothing prevents the author from monetizing it, too, and they get first-mover advantage and other legs up besides.
I'm sure we can concoct some elaborate edge edge edge case where there are no other options, but broadly I think the medical establishment much rather prefers the situation where some dysfunctional person is regularly coming to check in with a doctor, even if it means they have to handhold some person every step of the way through life as they make mistake after mistake.

The alternative, where someone is whisked away to internment for a few months, bounces back right after into the same broken lifestyle, and subsequently never trusts the medical system ever again and never goes to see a doctor again is less desirable.

With the former there remains always new opportunities for someone to take positive steps forward to recovery as they are always in contact with a system that can help them.

With the latter we burn a bridge one and done.
> Instead, by declining against the dollar by a factor of three in the past year, Bitcoin is quite good at debasing people's savings on its own.

Srilankan rupee lost 50% value overnight in March 2022 and is subject to futher deterioration due to the corrupt incompetent government. Same with Venezuela. Bitcoin or Gold or USD/EUR are the only good options for the millions of citizens of those countries, albeit generally available on black markets because of government controls. My colleague has his family in such a country. Guess what is the easiest way for him to help his family in need? [Hint: gold is hard to transfer and USD/EUR transfers are sanctioned because of US/EU govt policies].
Bad pizza is all about pineapple to make it OK pizza, but it would also turn a good pizza into an OK pizza.
> I think there is still room for housing to be the best investment a person could make in their life.

If so, only at the expense of the next generation who will find it even harder to afford a place to live. When housing prices go up it means the next generation will find it that much harder to afford a place to live.
> Why is it that when these discussions come up the proponents for controlling other peoples behavior always bring these ridiculous over the top stawmen with obvious answers?

Because if the proponents expressed their real reason, it would sound petty or racist, and as they don't want to sound petty or racist, they have to invent "ridiculous over the top st[r]awmen" to hide their real underlying reason from view.
I think the only person triggered is you.

You're crying about another company existing?

Why do you do that? Does it offend you that people choose things that aren't to your values?

This is the same kind of weird bigotry that homophobes use. Who cares? Why does it offend you so much?
I work in health care for a health care start. Literally my co-workers and I were just talking about this. How it's all such a racket and way too expensive and complicated.

How do we get out of this hole? How do we fix health care and fix these issues?
Not that anyone asked, but I did a challenge in high school to do 100 straight pushups. I was a lean cross country runner so they were pretty easy at the time. I trained and trained and got to 100! My pecs became huge, and they were literally the only big muscles on my body. I looked weird!

I suppose this is kind of a trivial question, but does anyone know if the last message was ACTUALLY the STRING: “My power’s really low. Don’t worry about me though…”, or was it some binary/hex code to represent that, like, "503 ERROR", and the PR department just tweeted its interpretation as “My power’s really low. Don’t worry about me though…”?

It raises more questions. Was this logging message decided by committee or a PM? Was it a dev easter egg? Do they have a writer?

Also, what conditions would trigger this "final" message?

Being a lesser engineer, my stuff just crashes unceremoniously and usually I am alerted not by a sweet note from my prod servers "Hey, looks like prod's going down, don't worry about me, though...", it's usually concerned phone call from a manager.
This is affirming, I crocheted in a few of my lectures at college. Felt like it helped.
Genuine question: How much of that financial improvement is due to them requiring companies to now pay for Docker Desktop on macOS? We found ourselves essentially with no option but to pay up for a full year on short notice. We want nothing of their other paid offerings like builds or repo hosting. The sales rep basically confirmed we're just paying for the thing we used to get for free now. The whole call was a giant "FU, too bad". Left an extremely bad taste in our mouths. Obviously we're going to focus heavily on dumping Docker Desktop as fast as possible in the next quarters.
I know it is not the same thing but Godot is close for being able to get something working in 2D as fast as you could in Flash.

I am optimistic we will see a Flash alternative popup as WASM and WebGPU continue to grow.
agreed. i've been on masto for 4-5 years now and while i do understand why this is a pain in the ass that doesn't make it any less annoying.
google doesn't even know what cloud profit is. It's heard about it from amazon, but no one at google has ever seen it themselves. Too busy shutting down services.
"Property value" is the biggest cop out. When someone says that what they really mean is "I don't like the look of that", but they can't just say that, it has to have a vague monetary penalty for them to be taken seriously.

Whenever someone hits you with that make sure you get them to document the reduction in their property value in dollars, including methodology. It's not possible, houses sell for whatever someone buys it for and you can't know the mind of buyers. Maybe the fact that your door is off-tan instead of off-medium-tan will make some buyer reduce their offer on a house 5 doors down by $20,000, but there's no way to prove that.
That's nice that you don't care, people who cost others money rarely do. I hope you move somewhere next to other neighbors who are on the same page, and it all works out fine, and i mean that non-sarcastically.

That's why I'm a proponent of these types of laws. You take an action that costs me $X, and then the state comes along and says and you can undo the damage, (easy in this case), compensate me, or go to jail and they'll sell your house.

Again, just to be crystal clear here: I don't think there should be a law punishing you for working on your car, or painting your house an ugly shade of green or growing your own tomatoes or whatever. But here in the United States houses are the biggest purchase most people make and if go to such an extreme you make it so I can't sell mine, that's no longer you living your life without hurting anybody.

In the case with the gun-toting the rude neighbor, he ended up being more than rude, and went to prison for abusing his children. The bank that took his house cleaned it up, so it all ended sort of tragically. I often wonder what could've gone differently to lead to a better outcome there.
If anything, upvoting controversial comments that have a lot of thoughtful responses is a public service - argument and counter argument gets put right at the top.

This is off-label use for sure, but we support Ink in Abbot. If you want to play around with it in Slack, sign up for a free trial at https://ab.bot then visit https://app.ab.bot/settings/organization/advanced and click "Allow Custom Skills" under "Bot Development Settings". Then you can create Ink skills and call them from chat.

Full disclosure, but we're probably going to deprecate Ink support soon because there are lots of little edge cases and warts that take too much time to support vs. how many of our customers use Ink. Still, fun to play with and you can do some crazy stuff!
You sound like a non-Facebook user complaining about Facebook messenger not being collaborative enough. Fair point (can't use FB if you're not subscribed) but completely not representative of the greater population or (in this case) Apple's target market.
In this day and age, I really do not understand why one of the first steps when spinning up a new repo (for this type of app) is not leveraging a tool like dotenv, and then a config system that uses environment variables for things like db credentials/etc. Yes it takes another hour of time to get that all going but, in the long run, you'll thank yourself!

I've worked in places where all the code was open to all teams, with the exception of DevOps because they had too many hardcoded secrets and never had time to clean up their mess. I get it, they really were spread thin... but it should have never happened in the first place.

But that is hardly relevant.

The question is, does blocking Tutanota reduce total fraud, or does it just make fraudsters to move to a different email hoster and you end up with the same total fraud?

I have no issue with thought experiments. However, your choice of words (i.e. "useless male") clearly illuminates your nasty intent. As such, I can't afford your original post any interpretation more charitable than sexism, regardless of your attempt to frame it now as a "thought experiment".

Edit: In response to your follow up, "useless" can be used as matter of fact, or as an implication of "worthlessness". Again, your choice of words "applied feminism" betrays your claim.
A short paper like this will almost certainly be either verified or refuted by the traditional method of mathematicians reading and analyzing the proof's logic. Computer-aided proof is pretty niche in mathematics.

I think the best way is to treat corporations like people - they go to prison. Shut down operations for however many years and disallow them from making transactions of any sort during their sentence. Going after executives is just going to lead to scapegoats.

You can't.

But it's not like escaping a container is going to happen because of a simple bug. You need an exploitable vulnerability in the containerized app that creates a path to escaping the container.

But yeah, if you want to isolate an app for security reasons, then you need a VM.
I live in the bay area suburbs. Broken down cars in neighbors yards all around me. Idgaf. They paid for it and can use it as they please.

These are homes. Property value whiners need to find a neighborhood of empty investment houses to police.

And everything grinds to a frustrating halt?
Old, organic non-grids in my area aren't due to anything other than topography and road construction technology available at the time the area was settled. There are grids too, with a very wide variety of architecture (the city was settled by people from all over europe and the near-east). In both cases, the architecture varies, so it's a nice point of comparison for non-cookie-cutter construction issues.

Non-grids tend to have fewer straight lines of sight, so they are more pleasing to live in; trees create an even greater sense of privacy, and people drive a bit slower. They tend to be more pleasing to live in, at least in that regard.

On the other hand, they're miserable for commuting if they're big enough. So many slow turns and stops makes it harder to get to a main thoroughfare. If you don't have a good sense of direction or memory, living back in one feels further away than you actually are, which makes the commute feel longer than it actually is. Short trips to the grocery store feel longer if you don't have one inside your non-grid neighborhood.

I really like how by defining type you also define variable by the same name. I was craving for such feature in many scripting languages in my programming career.
