I'll be surprised if there are no fossil fuel cars being made or sold in China and Russia in 15 years. Even in the US, I'm pretty sure the defense department hasn't set a deadline for eliminating fossil fuels from their fleet and they buy a lot of vehicles, making them one of the planet's largest polluters.

I really want LibreOffice Base to be usable as an Access replacement, but it seems that it’s simply there to tick off the box “database tool for the office suite”. So it implements the necessary features that this box would require, but the corners haven’t been rounded off.

I’m sure people must be using it to various extents, but it definitely lacks the basic accessibility to its features that Access provides.

I sort of posted the link to also check how other HNers may use it, and it seems that your experience matches mine: I’d love for it to be easier to use.
Well if that's your standard then "serverless" isn't really "server less" but we still call it that.
Doesn't a record like this depend highly on picking the highest quality "silicon"?

Like this was enabled not only by the amazing feat of technology, but also focusing on selecting silicon that qualifies/classifies as top 0.1%?

Not sure of the specifics but isn't it like... they underclock otherwise higher performing chips when they sell them because after they were assembled it was discovered they were like marginally defective at higher clock speeds so they sell them lower down the product line for less because they are stable enough to sell at lower clock speeds?
Similar to what a multi-pass programming language compiler does. at each step, cololess things into groups, until reach appropriate level of usefullness.

Right, the thing is that a lot of typescript's assertions are valid even without complete top to bottom knowledge of the code being executed. Object shapes, for example, are pretty clean to reason about (proxies do complicate this some, but not nearly as bad as they do purity), which means structural typing stuff can just work. It doesn't matter whether property 'x' is a getter or a value as if all you need to know is whether an object has a property named x, and if you need to know the type that also is something you can check without needing to know whether reading the value has side effects. And shapes/types can be verified at runtime as long as state isn't mutated between verification and use.

You're right that in the end once you pull in outside data you're having to make promises that you may not be able to keep - I just think purity is an especially difficult set of promises to keep, and the existence of proxies and getters in JS (along with how they work) makes purity basically impossible, so it's just a footgun waiting to be used. And TS isn't going to optimize your code using it, so it's not really delivering value either.
> -Spend different seasons in different places. I'm moving to Tokyo for 3 months next year as a breather.

As I was a teacher, this is what I did before I moved countries. I'd spend a month or two of the summer holiday in a different country doing language courses (I love languages and linguistics as well). It was a great way to have structure in a place as well as stuff to do, plus I've found they often arranged guided tours cheaply, so it always worked out well.

Might consider doing that again, but I'd likely need some extra income streams, which could be doable.

Agreed 100% and framing it as vandalism feels like a disservice from the reporting.

It's also hard for cameras to cover every threatening angle. Any goon with a drone or a rifle can cause some from of damage to a power station, after all.

You have to pay for it. It used to be that advertising space was limited, so it was paid for through that, but that revenue is gone and nobody wants to pay.

Look at the time stamps of HN, Twitter, or FB comments on the day of the NC attacks.

Either law-enforcement investigations happened vastly faster on that particular day than ever before, or people were leaping to and sharing outraged conclusions. You’re right that I can’t prove law enforcement hadn’t solved the case that quickly that day.

As for unprompted, the post above mine directly asked “where does politics come into this?”
> We should say something like "theatrical", as in security theatre.

How about "hypocrite"? If I understand correctly, in Greek, that originally meant "actor". So when Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites, he was saying that their religion was just theater - it was just for show.
You (as an individual miner) would still mine the same number of blocks on average as before, nothing has changed from your perspective (difficulty/hashrate). You would find a larger percent of all blocks mined, but same absolute number of blocks.
I agree. I wish to go away from traditionalist views “Alice should stop playing with trucks and play with dolls because she is a girl” to “Alice can with trucks if she wants”. But I was shocked to find that instead, some people now believe “Alice is really a boy if she likes playing with trucks”

A single opinion on a single subject is not a sweeping view of the entire world. Despite being treated as disposable trash by the world I actually have unflattering but overall optimistic view of the world. I believe people are mostly good but more selfish.

All these problems are not from lack of help but lack of personal empowerment. The world has this deranged flow to it lately that people "need" help on the most basic survival aspects of life. It has become profitable to keep the problem rolling. Nothing in the "help" world is about empowering people. Its about keeping people stuck in various stages of "help" but always pulling the rug when they get momentum.

This is definitely true for dogs/canids, eye contact is a signal of dominance and/or aggression. It’s common advice to soften your glance if you’re approaching an unfamiliar or potentially aggressive dog. It’s also helpful to make more direct eye contact when establishing you’re in charge when training them.

I’ve also noticed with many birds that they prefer indirect attention. This includes not just eye contact, but pointing a camera (or really anything) in their direction. Which unfortunately means I have very little photographic evidence of the many times I’ve had birds just hanging around being pleasant companions for a while.

I thought this was a well known observable fact. There are certain creative thought processes that only occur to me when I really have absolutely nothing else to think about, but that basically never happens anymore thanks to the internet. The only reason I'm even aware that I'm missing out on this is because it still happens when I take long showers, so basically the only time I don't have a phone or computer with me.
By "pretty popular" you must mean the majority of historians, right? Here's Britannica's take:

> Despite the Supreme Court’s rulings in Heller and McDonald, many constitutional historians disagreed with the court that the Second Amendment protected an individual right to “keep and bear Arms” for the purpose of self-defense in the home. Indeed, for more than two centuries there had been a consensus among judges as well as scholars that the Second Amendment guaranteed only the right of individuals to defend their liberties by participating in a state militia. However, by the late 20th century the “self-defense” interpretation of the amendment had been adopted by a significant minority of judges.

Yes, I hope they get caught soon.

But I think for some people there is a workaround. Where I live we are on Natural Gas. Years ago, the furnace there was rather old and needed to be replaced due to a leak. But that furnace would work fine without electricity, it had what I think was called a magneto. So with power outages, we at least has heat.

The State made these furnaces illegal to install, so now, the new one would stop working with power outages. Why can't people with oil/gas be allowed to install furnaces without the need for electricity. In many places it is too tight to install a generator.
I mean, through some hilarious coincidents a couple of years ago I found myself without internet at home for close to a month.

I remember just sitting in my living room thinking, "man watching TV is boring, I would rather do <whatever productive thing>".

>> That is how it is how care is offered, as I understand it?

How many clinical trials have been conducted for transexual treatments on minors? Various transgender health "associations" recommend the minimum age for starting gender transition treatment, including sex hormones and surgeries with really no clinical trial. They don't even bother to track the patients after the procedure for a minimum of 10-20 years. As long as the parent is convinced to do it it's treated like a botox procedure.

I don't even mention the elephant in the room where any possible treatment for homosexuality is deemed torture regardless of patient's choice/wish while trans treatments which are way more invasive are recomendeed to minors like candy.

It's really politically driven and everything must be portraited either as a preference or "feature" otherwise you are far-right or racist. People no longer have mental, gender or sexual disorders. Apparently they no longer have disabilities either. If you dare to express a different opinion you are far right and lbtqaz+ hater.

Portuguese claims are pretty legit, the Azores and Madeira were previously uninhabited and settled by the Portuguese before the Eastern Roman Empire even fell.

Excluding small island states, the seafood consumption per capita is the highest in the world, you can literally smell it in their supermarkets, and this traditional diet is supported to a large degree by the fishing industry within their EEZ.

> I guess your righteousness is greater than your reading comprehension

I think that's a more appropriate criticism to levy against you.

Whatever you dealt with, things could have always been worse.

No man is an island, and you could only do what you did because there were opportunities around you. If they didn't work out, or they weren't present, or if you went for them, and got bitten for worse than you gained, you could have well ended up back in that shitty environment, homeless, or dead, or in prison. Sometimes shit just happens, and is too much to deal with. Sometimes the effort required to get out is greater than any one person can put in.

There's no shortage of bums living under the I-5 overpass who also had great plans for leaving their shitty town, and making a better life in the big city. They all have two things on common - nobody they could lean on when things went to shit, and things going to shit for them. When you're born in a shitty environment, the first box gets checked for you at birth, and any man only has partial control over the second one. Tell me your life story, and I'll happily throw a 'but, what if...' that, had it gone the other way, could have put you under that overpass.

The world isn't some deterministic puzzle where if you make the right moves, everything will work out. Sometimes, you can do everything right, and still lose in the short-term. People who have safety buffers to fall back on can bounce back from that. People who don't get to move to that overpass.
I used to do business negotiations as an attorney. COVID shifted those negotiations to video chat/phone. People are much more entrenched, much less willing to compromise, and they generally act like even wider gaping assholes on those platforms than they do in person. Hence the "used to."
Local interactions can be achieved with this approach by building custom components. However, a limitation of Server-driven UI is supporting interactions that update state across the entire app. For example, I wouldn’t use Hyperview or HTMX to implement a spreadsheet, where changing the value in one cell would trigger recalculations across the sheet.
Naw simply a joke.

My mental model of Windows 8 is "that toc (terrible half of the cycle) windows release to 7's tic, that I had to remove from my Aunt's new laptop and found that UEFI made downgrading to Win7 a right ballache and I swear I did this 3 years ago not 10" How time flies.
> those cities were miniscule by today's standards

Rome had a million people in it 100 BC. There were still large cities. Also most large cities today (Tokyo, Shanghai, London, Paris, New York) have strong public transport systems and most people don't need cars. So you can have large cities where most people live a car-free lifestyle.

I think fire codes being enforced & developments in building techniques helped reduced fires, not just that we can drive fire trucks to situations.
> Monopoly is an extremely crude model of the real world.

Monopoly was just an example of a game with currency at the start; you could pick pretty much any other game with a similar mechanic.

> To strain the analogy further, why are you always transferring wins to player A? A better model is to just let both players keep whatever they have at the end of each game and use it to start the next game.

The reason I said to transfer to player A was merely to make it easier to express the inequality; think of player A not as a family line so much as "the set of people who have inheritances" versus "the set of people who don't". That's also why I don't think it matters whether the person is dead or not; my point is showing that having inheritance continue to affect games beyond the immediate one after is significantly different than limiting it to one generation.

> But none of this matters because Monopoly is not real life.

Yeah, I don't think anyone would disagree with this, but the point here is that having previous games affects later ones can give significant advantages and disadvantages, and this result is independent of the game.

> The wealthy used to amass real physical resources; ores, livestock, land, people... Now we mostly have them chasing digital zeroes in a bank account. It really is much better. So some people buy a yacht every now and again? That's great! Yachtmakers have a reason to go to work every day and the world keeps spinning.

I have no idea what this has to do with the discussion at all. Whether digital assets or physical ones are passed on via inheritance doesn't change whether or not starting with extra resources is an advantage or not. I definitely don't think that anyone is arguing that they think the problem with inheritance is that people can buy yachts?

> If you think there should be a cap on the total amount of zeroes anyone can hold at one time I totally get where you're coming from, but I don't get the obsession with taking a cut when someone dies beyond the normal cut we take when people just transfer wealth to eachother because a clever person will just make a
plan to do this before they die and that is unfair to folks that aren't so clever.

We have taxes on people giving money to each other directly when alive as well. You can't just give someone $1 million while you're alive to avoid them having to pay taxes on it. If by "clever" you mean "avoiding taxes", then yes, I do think this also shouldn't be allowed, and I don't think I'd be opposed to having the tax rate be similar to the estate tax. From my perspective, the "obsession" is from people who seem to be from people _against_ allowing taxes on estates (using pejorative language like "death tax"[1] to try to derail the discussion). I don't feel the need to as strongly defend sales tax or income tax because there are far fewer people who argue that they shouldn't exist at all, but if the political will to abolish income tax reached similar levels of support to opposition to the estate tax, then I would focus more on it.

My two golden rules of note taking:
1) taking notes is superior to not taking notes. It structures your thoughts and helps you think. The actual note is of less value than the process of writing it.
2) beware the productivity tarpit. It’s fun to jump on the next blog post about how to get your obsidian setup right, but moving your notes from setup a to setup b generates only few insights (when you re read a note long forgotten perhaps). Movement does not equal progress.

I admit I am quite sceptical that providing carte blanche access to women's spaces to males who identify as transgender will have a significant impact on reducing suicide rates amongst this population, such that it outweighs the negative impacts on women. I've not yet seen anything that convinces me this is an appropriate policy direction, but I appreciate the opportunity to consider arguments that may change my mind.

My view is that with something as complex and multifactorial as suicide, we have to be cautious in ascribing a particular cause or mitigation, and the available data must be examined with caution.

The first abstract you linked describes a 41% attempted suicide rate, but I'm not clear how this was determined or exactly which population it applies to. It seems to be for a poster at a psychiatry conference, the full copy of which isn't available online, as far as I can see. Do you know how this figure was arrived at? I would be interested to see the original source.

In the second paper you linked, which concerns transgender people in India, it sounds like there are many other correlative factors that involve poverty and lack of access to education and employment, with many living in slums, begging and working as prostitutes. Access to the bathroom of their choice or other opposite sex spaces seems to be the least of their issues, and it's not mentioned in this paper. The section discussing resiliency sounds promising though, with correlations to higher income, better support structures, and being employed in a mainstream job. Perhaps these are the factors best addressed by policy, in India at least?
