This is a ridiculous argument. So elites abandoned the masses by not acting aristocratic enough? They already consider themselves a whole separate caste of superior beings, not bound by the rules that govern us petty plebeians. Do you know how many superyachts there are in the world? Honestly this kind of worship of power is nauseating.

Chris hedges has written about this kind of thing more eloquently than I ever could:

“I, unfortunately, had the experience of being shipped off to a private boarding school at the age of ten as a scholarship student and live–I was one of 16 kids on scholarship, and I lived among the super-rich and I watched them. And I think much of my hatred of authority and my repugnance for the ruling elite comes from having been among them for so long.”

“I came–certainly my mother’s side of the family–from, you know, lower working class. I mean, people–one of my uncles lived in a trailer in Maine, and certainly people with no means. And I would juxtapose the world I was in with that world. And it was very clear that it wasn’t about intelligence or aptitude.”

“It’s very distasteful to see, because, you know, I would go to the homes of friends of mine and watch–and let’s remember they’re children, 11, 12 years old, ordering around adults–their servants, their nannies.”

“The rich are different, because when you have that much money, then human beings become disposable. Even friends and family become disposable and are replaced. And when the rich take absolute power, then the citizens become disposable, which is in essence what’s happened. There is a very callous indifference.

“I mean, these people — and C. Wright Mills wrote about this in ‘The Power Elite’ — they’re utterly cut off. I mean, the only people they ever meet who are members of the working class are people who work for them–their gardeners or their chauffeurs. They live in self-encased bubbles. They have no real contact with reality. I mean, they don’t even fly on commercial airlines. And yet they have absolute power.

“Now, that becomes very dangerous politically because they’re so out of touch and they are able to retreat into their enclaves in the same way that you saw in France under Louis XVI, people retreating to Versailles, or the end of the Chinese dynasty when everybody went to the Forbidden City.”

In my own experience, such situations were more likely when the system was already suffering some other issue or failure, like a failing array member or a volume out of space or something more routine, and in the course of troubleshooting, ah shit, now I have a corrupted root to deal with.

Had one app that crashed inexplicably every year at midnight on Halloween. Or at least the two years I put up with it. Had to leave a party to rebuild a server from scratch when one failure turned into lots of failures.

This is a very dramatic framing. A much more resonable explanation is that YouTube was being used as an escape. 10K Subs is an accomplishment, a real community. The less talked about half of parasocial relationships is the one that goes the other way, where people feel validation from the likes and views they get. Generally, taking a break from an escape means you face the real issues you have been avoiding and ignoring using YouTube. At the same time, I think it's great the author is reflecting and take actionable steps to working on themselves. Stepping away or slowing down is a tough decision once you reach the size this author has.

I have higher weekly hours, in the Youtube app on your phone, you can see weekly view stats. On wednesday my stats say 15 hours. I have ADHD and I leave YouTube running in the background while I work and when I sleep. I know for a fact that 5+ hour on wednesday was "10 Hours of Hotel AC White Noise (High power setting)". 80% of the time it's on in the background, either figuratively or literally white noise.

Taking a break is always beneficial, but I think this might be a situation where an escape becomes unhealthy and makes the situation worse but isn't the underlying cause. I strongly dislike the trend of using the word addiction to describe a bad or unhealthy habit. Unless watching YouTube held you back from performing other life function or you feel physical or mental withdrawal symptoms, I'd hestitate from using that word. Not just a craving, but also some sort of anxiety from being away or cancelling plans with friends or being late to work. People are fulltime Youtubers, being a creator can be everything from a hobby to a profession.

> In other words, these drivers did not leave enough distance to react and brake.

Again, recommended following distance is ~250-300 feet when stopping & reaction time can be 350-400 feet. This is OK when the car in front of you brakes, because you'll both be decelerating with a similar profile and you'll have more than 250-300 feet to stop. It is not OK when the car in front of you stops substantially faster than braking with no warning because it has hit an unknown obstacle.

My wife and I owned several pairs of Asolo hiking boots and all of them opened at points adhesed together. I do not buy Asolo anymore.
I've seen this happen to A LOT of people, particularly with TikTok. What's worse is the algorithms are effectively there to (a) keep you watching and (b) manipulate you (in some cases - i.e. increase addictive tenancies, change mood (see facebook studies on this), etc)

That said, I have seen this cycle both spiral (as in this case) and be broken before. I've also helped a cousin who had this issue.

IMO and this is going to sound harsh, but bare with me -- the problem isn't YouTube, TikTok, etc the issue is you. If you have this "addiction" it's because you're enabled. For instance, I cannot just decide to watch 8 hrs of youtube videos a day, I have to wake up & let the dog out, feed the family, go to work, take the kids to sports classes, spend time with my wife, etc. At the end of the day, I have maybe an hour I could listen to something as I'm doing some maintenance on the house before bed. I'm happy, busy and have purpose. If you have responsibilities you'll be happier -- period. Yes, sometimes it'll suck, it is work after all (I had to clean up my dogs diarrhea the other day -- blah); but the process is rewarding. You can see what you've accomplished, people will care about you and you'll be happier.

Few thoughts on how this can be broken (and how I've seen it done)

1. Uninstall all your social media apps

2. Get an extension on your browser to block social media

3. In an extreme case, change your password to non-sense you don't know and to an email you create on the fly and don't know.

4. Get a pet

5. Make a list of objectives (small to large); make a plan to execute. You can fail, over and over again, but if you work towards them you'll eventually get there.

6. Go outside for a 30-60 min walk every day and force yourself to leave your phone. Cold or hot, doesn't matter. Remember, your ancestors lived outside 24/7, even 100 years ago, there was no AC.

7. Join communities -- could just be people at the gym, a church / w.e., archery club, it doesn't matter, just get social connections

8. Clean your house and room at least once a week and make your bed every day. Discipline is key and once you have a clean house for a while, you'll want to keep it clean.

9. Go to the gym every day if you can. Pick the closest one and just go every day for an hour. Use the machines as they're less likely to hurt you and you don't need any training. Build up to free weights (or if you know how to use them, go for it).

10. Eat healthy -- meat, veg, fruit.

Show HN: P2PD – Async p2p networking library for Python 3
Hello HN, I've been working on a new async networking lib for Python. The library has now reached a state where people could start to try it out. Currently it offers the following features:

* Consistent API for TCP / UDP; IPv4 / IPv6; Client / Server.

* Async coroutine support and protocol-style callbacks.

* Support for network interfaces

* P2P direct connections

* STUN, TURN, NAT traversal techniques

* Port forwarding and pin hole rules

* Works with open infrastructure

* There's a language agnostic REST API

The post explores some of the problems with async networking in Python + some basic examples with the library. Let me know if anyone tries it out.

> I would rather have the state disallow murdering children rather than each parent deciding for themselves if they should be able to murder their kid.

You're the only one here who has said anything about parental authority overriding the murdering-is-bad laws that most countries seem to have. The state disallows murdering children in the same way it disallows murdering anyone else - via general laws that are nonspecific to parents and their authority over their children.

If you were talking about some other kind of crime where the state was claiming specific authority over the special case of parents' authority over their kids, then I'd understand why you brought it up. Like I said earlier. That's either a weird strawman, or you missed the point of what "ultimate authority" means here.

> Sometimes parents don't do what's best for their kid. In those cases, it's better for the state to use their Ultimate Authority to intervene in the interests of the child.

Except that what you're advocating for isn't intervention in just those cases. You're also advocating that the state intervene in cases where: the treatment is harmful to the child, and the well-educated parent knows it, but the state thinks it's for the best, and causes harm to the child. And you're justifying it by saying the parents shouldn't be allowed to murder their kid. Which is really weird logic.
No, different kinds of drugs are different in kind.

I've never met anybody who takes MDMA to feel normal. Most people I know who use it do so once or twice a year and carry lessons from that experience that make sober life better.

Molly taught me to let myself dance, for instance. Or to joke around with strangers.

Sure, people who do it every weekend have a degraded sense of normal after a while, but that's not just an amplified stage of normal use, it's damage to their ability to regulate serotonin. Friends don't let friends do that to themselves.

Unhealthy usage patterns of other drugs may cause damage to other systems depending on which systems those drugs activate (e.g. dopamine, gaba, opoid, etc) but if a different system is damaged it's different in kind and not degree.

This all-drugs-are-more-or-less-the-same narrative is dangerous. You learn that drugs are bad (thanks D.A.R.E.), and then you learn that part of that was a lie.

What's a curious person to do next except try them all?

As for the non-curious, if you go around with an all-drugs-bad attitude and don't have and idea of what healthy usage looks like (because the healthy users are keeping it a secret from you), you're unavailable to help course correct a friend whose usage has started to become problematic. By the time the problem is so bad that they can't hide it anymore, the ideal time to speak up will have long since passed.

Well, the Wii did have an OS, that would receive updates over time. IOS was managed sort of shitty, though. Since older games would be linked with specific versions of IOS, they had to literally keep multiple versions of the OS around on NAND. They would occasionally stub out specific slots (usually those used by the System Menu, or by internal-only discs, or even slots they never used but that pirates did use).

Agreed, however, that all PPC code running during a game came from code on the disc, even "OS" things like the Home menu. The IOS code largely gatekept the advanced Wii features as compared to the GC

If I take a million copywritten images from magazines, cut them with scissors, and make a single collage, I would expect the resulting image to be fair use. Fair use is an affirmative defense, like self defense, where you justify your infringement.

People are treating this like its a binary technical decision. Either it is or isn't a violation. Reality is that things are spectrums and judges judge. SD will likely be treated like a remix that sampled copywritten work, but just a tiny bit of each work, and sufficiently transformed it to create a new work.

>gov has the responsibility to take care of all people.

This is where the fundamental disagreement lies. Many people including myself do not agree with this statement and view that statement itself as totalitarian

It IS NOT the government role to take care of me. I do NOT need or want the government to provide that service

In a free society the government is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties;

Anything beyond that "night watchmen" framework and you go beyond free society into authoritarian and totalitarian governance

Because this use is unprecedented, as you say, it's clear that the law wasn't written with this use case in mind. The more interesting question in my mind is what we think the new law should be, rather than what the courts happen to make of the existing law. I.e., I think the answer should come from politicians not from judges.
I respect your beliefs and can tell they come from good intentions and a desire to help.

That said, my personal inclination is that diagnosis and medication should be a last resort after first trying alternative approaches to education and learning, as well as looking at lifestyle issues like diet, sleep, exercise, screen time, etc.

My experience of education in the US is that it was mostly bad, and that most teachers were bad, particularly when it comes to helping intelligent, creative, and eccentric kids reach their potentials. If at all possible, I would always favor first trying to find a better environment for a child who is struggling rather than using drugs to force them to adapt to a low quality education system.

Kind of, it's weird.

There's "the Constitution" the document, which has some words in it.

Then there's "the Constitution" the spirit, which is what the American public feels abut the document, irrespective of the words therein.

The two are never quite the same, and the latter is often the deciding factor when it comes to writing laws. The former factor, carefully parsing the words in the context of laws, has been where the courts come in. But these days is seems the court's view on the Constitution is colored as much by their feelings about the words as the words taken literally themselves. For example, for decades one court can say that a right to privacy is implied by the Constitution, and then suddenly a new court can completely flip that. Despite the words in the Constitution remaining the same in the intervening period, the feelings of the court about the document changed, and so what is considered "Constitutional" under the law changed as well.

In that sense, what is normal can in fact be Constitutional, as long as people with the right power say so, even if the document doesn't say as such in literal words.

Homes in Illinois cost considerably less than the median for the US. I don't know quite how the "family of four" modifier affects things, but the Federal Reserve Banks says the US median home price is $429k, while Illinois is at $270k. A whole bunch of states have medians above $550k. While it can be argued that more people should move to Illinois, or to other states with reasonably priced housing, I'd the OP is quite possibly right for wherever they are.

Glancing down the list, here are a few standouts:

Hawaii: $1.05M
DC: $826k
California: $816k
Washington: $640k
Massachusetts: $612k
Colorado: $604k
Utah: $589k

I agree, but in the sense that Mac super users understand the limitations of the App Store and would rather not wade through the crapware, poor search, and lack of selection due to the App Store's sandboxing policy. I don't think typing a few commands in the command line is really that much of an impediment to the average user—it's lack of awareness.
