Some of us respond to uses that align with the technology’s strengths with excitement and encouragement, and to uses that rely on its weaknesses with criticism and warning.

That seems useful, prudent, and completely in line with the spirit if a community like HN.

There’s no more reason that every critique should come with a “proposal” than that every cheer should come with some kind of admonition. As a community, multiple points of view are expressed and developed simultaneously.

Of course, some of points of view might personally frustrate you or leave you feeling like you don’t know how to respond to them. But is that so bad? Does it need to be squelched just because you don’t enjoy it?
ES6 classes are still based on prototype inheritance underneath.
It's a really interesting tool. They should've focused this on the personal knowledge management crowd, I feel like they would eat that shit up for a research focused environment.
wow, first time seeing Fulcro, and it has a great documentation https://book.fulcrologic.com/, definitely will play with that, thanks!
I think your analysis is correct, and would also add that corporate projects probably have both the culture of monitoring (they use it for everything else) and the expectation that they have to deadlines so they prioritize the idea of being able to ship something with the confidence that it either won't break anyone or they'll be able to know & react quickly if it does. Open source didn't used to have that same focus since it was rarely someone's job and there was more understanding that time was in short supply (“if it breaks, let me know or send a patch”).
I should probably start thinking about how to move all my 2FA codes out of Authy, at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly stick me with a monthly fee to keep logging in to my stuff.

Does anyone know how to do this? Authy seems to make it intentionally as difficult as possible to export TOTP keys and I'd rather not repeat the 2FA setup process for dozens of accounts.
If you use CH with s3 storage engine it will be considerably cheaper for same amount of logs
In the US it’s socialized risk / privatized gain. It’s interesting to see the flip side happen in an autocratic regime - privatized risk / socialized gain. Ultimately in this case the government is actually at fault but it puts private parties heads on a spike for taking advantage of the incentives the government provided while ethical parties were pushed out as they couldn’t remain economically viable.

The AMA probably isn't the best source for that type of data.

The little throwaway lines in that review are funny; "Patients deserve care led by physicians—the most highly educated, trained and skilled health care professionals. Through research, advocacy and education, the AMA vigorously defends the practice of medicine against scope-of-practice expansions that threaten patient safety."

Weird because the study they're talking about didn't say a word about patient safety.

Their metrics are weird too - it's looking at hospital spend "per member per month" which was higher with the non-physician staff but I'd be curious if the $30 difference was more or less than the difference in salaries between the two groups.

I was replying to this:

> Making things very expensive is precisely how to motivate people to innovate.

I don't think that is the best way to innovate. The ability to make money is the best way.

> that you're pointedly ignoring.

I don't really understand the mentality of someone who would write this, as though someone can ignore something in piecemeal asynchronous communication.

I also don't understand the archaic phrasing, and while I feel I shouldn't have to say this, but I am not at an 18th century finishing school and you are not my headmistress.

Again, don't be a libertarian, and get help. You don't have to do this alone.
I don't think the accusation is "this is as dirty as rape" is made at all. It's easy to overreact when someone brings up a topic like sexual assault because nobody in their right mind likes to be associated with such horrendous behaviour. However, the framework society has set up around consent is still useful.

Consent is implied (or assumed) in most day to day events. However, privacy law in the EU has brought the topic of consent into the internet and onto computers, whether you want it or not. That's because digital privacy and all manner of things it accompanies has been regulated because the industry has failed to implement the necessary safeguard by itself.

You may feel like such telemetry doesn't need explicit consent, like you or me commenting on posts here, and that's a valid opinion to have. Others viscerally disagree.

I personally think digital consent is a field of computer ethics that has been ignored for way too long. I'm very happy with the GDPR and only wish government would start enforcing privacy laws more often. You're free to disagree with me and I can understand your position if you do.

For those that do consider software tracking something that requires consent, there is a real emotional impact to seeing your privacy be violated by software and devices you otherwise trust. Ignoring that because you disagree with the underlying notion can only lead to misunderstanding and exaggerated flame wars. It'll also generate distrust and friction within your community.

To all of the points you have listed where consent is usually implied or assumed, there are groups that disagree. Air and noise pollution are regulated for a good reason; laws around those are often vague because these topics are extremely situational. I do actually think most billboards should be banned from public spaces for both ethical and safety reasons. There are large groups that consider the laws in the places they've been born in to be unjust and are angry that they're subjected under them, and demand (usually through a misinterpreted or made up legal basis) that they and their peers never agreed to any of those rules. There are even laws in place about who is allowed to email you, because you did not express a desire to receive ads from random companies, though enforcement is usually completely absent.

For what it's worth, I 100% believe that the author behind this proposal is well-intentioned. The proposed methodology has been carefully constructed to respect privacy as much as possible. I also completely understand the wish for opt-out as most people simply won't choose to act on requests for opting in. However, a project like Go isn't run by a single person, and the company that does run it cannot be trusted when it comes to privacy concerns.
OP is arguing that they should choose to stop doing business instead of adhere to the laws.
Law needs Multiline comments!
I don't see tech companies changing their practice in say Brazil to meet European laws.

If India make it illegal to host a video critical of their PM, and google block that video from access in India that's one thing

If Thailand make it illegal to slag of their king and google block users from Thailand watching a video about the king that's a similar thing

If Europe make it illegal to track users without their consent and google block users from Europe that's a similar thing

If China make it illegal to talk about Winnie the Pooh google block users from China searching, that's a similar thing

If America make it illegal to talk about tools to circumvent DVD copyright protection and block users from America searching, that's a similar thing

In all cases Google is obeying local law so they can do business in those countries, but that local law applies to local people.

Now copyright (not DMCA but Bern style copyright) is, so I could see why google would remove a BBC copyrighted film, although they tend to ignore copyrighted material unless the copyright holder complains.
For stuff like this, if you live in the region, you probably already know. Large earthquakes don't exactly happen every day. For example, if you want to get behind the "whys" of codes like this in CA, just look at: northridge earthquake, loma prieta earthquake, long beach earthquake, and the 1906 earthquake.
> This is how the internet should be, free for everyone, without censorship and restrictions.

I wonder if the author writes this content for free or if they expect to be paid. Given Ghacks' privacy policy where 12+ categories of personal data tracking are in use, including precise geolocation, I suspect they do expect compensation for their work, and that it is funded through targeted advertising that requires surveillance tech and data gathering.

If the choice is between publishers setting prices for their products or readers being forced to unwillingly participate in the advertising surveillance industry, I'll take the walls.

But there probably is no such choice. The money Ghacks makes collecting and selling sensitive personal data is probably so sweet it couldn't be replaced by subscriptions.

Just saying, the author should probably think a little deeper about their "free for everyone without restriction" idealogy.
The loudest and most obnoxious of them also tend to be the most extreme. Those with a more nuanced view tend to avoid the label over time as there's no good way to use it to express a desire for less authoritarian government while also rejecting the views of the loud mouth extreme. And perhaps that's a good thing as it gets those with a more moderate view to try to work on those changes that are viable instead of demanding the theoretical perfect.
The real application is increasing bureaucracy massively. Nothing that doesn't get an opinion filed for or some "memo" attached to it. No request for comment ever unanswered, nothing that doesn't deserve some written specs or an risk assessment. No process not documented in lengthy prose etc.
> Most hospitals are already losing money or close to losing money. Taking away profit motive from them e.g. by subsidizing operation would only increase cost of care, because the incentive to run lean/efficiently goes away.

But... if they're already losing money because they're inefficient, with a 'profit motive' in place... it's obviously not enough of a motive to be efficient. They may be losing money not because of inefficiency anyway, but assuming so... existence of 'profit motive' coupled with inefficiency should be evidence enough that they're not linked.
Absolutely, Amazon famously push anti-union propaganda in their workplace (just talk with anyone working either at corporate or at the shipping centers) and move centers just to avoid union-heavy regions.

Also worth noting, blamazon (parent commentator) seems to work for Amazon (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25758868), or at least previously worked for them so probably sitting on a bunch of AMZN stock, but they never disclosed that, so might want to take their positive views of Amazon with a bit of salt.

I think the problem here is that "profit motive" is reduced to capitalism. For politicians profit is votes so under funding hospitals and prisons to spend in high profile pork projects (can even be tax cuts) is still profit motive. It's a rational choice if they think they can get more votes, more bang for their buck, by spending it elsewhere. This isn't traditionally seen as "profit motive", but really it is because it was done for the private benefit instead of over arching ethical deliberations or calculations for net good etc.
The other day, I was trying to build a web scraper, but I kept getting an error that the data wasn't utf-8 encoded. I gave chatgpt the error along with the first 10 bytes (e.g. b'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03') and it informed me that this was a gzip-encoded binary file, and then it wrote me working code to decompress the file.

This is extremely valuable and saved me hours/was the difference between me stopping or not.

There will surely be people that overhype this, but there is real value as well.
Apple is already paying a few publishers I think, but not at scale.

Netflix, Amazon or Spotify could probably pull of a subscription model with their huge critical masses.

But I dont think anyone with the critical mass for a micropayment model has any motivation to do it. Google, Apple are perfectly happy with the 30% app fee, the massive cut taken from YouTube and so on.
(founder here) Thank you Dennis! All, broadly, to date we've focused on achieving correct program semantics over syntax/perf/ux/dx. We're rotating onto these issues now, since we've reached a point where, after 2 years of hardcore dogfooding and 8 months of private beta, we're comfortable that brave Clojurists like Dennis will be successful and have an acceptable development experience. (Especially when compared with the benefit of strong composition at the system level - functional programming over entire systems!)
Right, but formaldehyde is naturally occurring too. It's in many foods and in your body as well.

The amount that came from ten cars, spread into the atmosphere, is virtually nothing.
There has got to be another way at beating the system but as it stands how does one get over the fact that inflation would wipe away the value of the currency you are holding? Some argue that bitcoin is the answer but who knows really.
I've started learning Clojure about a year ago, couldn't say it was easy (the fault might be with me and not Clojure)

Clojure has a lot a faults (just look at some of the comments here) BUT and it's a BIG BUT for me...

Clojure is SUPER FUN :)

Over the years(15+), I've been coding in PHP (suck it haters), Go, Rust,Java,Python AngularJS+, Svelte and I can honestly say for me, nothing is more fun that coding in Clojure.

It's fun testing a function in "realtime" by just "eval" it on the spot.
I don't even code "in the REPL" I just use Calva and eval inline in VSCode

Maybe it's cause it's my new toy but it really does bring back the "joy of coding" I've been missing in the other languages.

*Learning Clojure became much more easier, once I told myself "It's Maps All The Way Down :D" Sure there are stuff like atoms that make it possible to code around the "immutability" but that is like using a cheat-code to go back to the old ways. Yes there are many times when mutable-data-structures are required, but while learning, don't grab for them as a first solution !

Anywhoo YMMV but once you get over the warts (many there are), much fun and insights awaits :)
It at least makes sense to unbundle cleaning from per-night charges: cleaning isn’t per-night. How does this work in Germany? Do you see a listing like “€100 per night + €40” or “€140 + €100 per additional night”?

I would love either of these in the US — both would be massive improvements over “you thought it was $100/night until you clicked a couple times and found the $40”.
I agree its not a competitive market. Rural areas suffer in all areas of limited markets, medical isn't special. Government involvement (including, but not limited to limiting licensing). insurance clouds the market as well (both how we procure insurance and government limitations of insurance).

Which was exactly my point: you can't argue that "wide access to biotechnology will do no harm, after all, people haven't started building nukes in their back yard".
I am saying that you in this particular instance are not asking those questions in good faith.
You can avoid elements of the proposal by the OP by selling and moving and then claiming the new primary residence like you do now.

I don't think we should care if someone has to sell their current home at a loss due to market conditions because taken to its logical conclusion you're saying people shouldn't lose money which to have a functioning economy you have to reject.
> A wake up call, you say?

Yes...? A wake up call is for people who don't realize something is a big deal. In quite literally every wake up call situation, someone thinks it's obvious. "Wake up" meaning "it's been in front of you this whole time, and you can't see it".

Or fire codes.

Related off-topic reminder, in the hope it may save one life one day: please use this comment as a reminder to check upon the status of your smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and fire extinguisher. At the very least every room where people sleep in should have a smoke alarm and every room with a furnace (boiler, oven, kitchen, ...) a smoke and CO alarm. They must not be painted over, and their batteries be regularly replaced.

Each story of a house should have at least one extinguisher rated for classes A and B (solid and liquid combustibles), kitchens additionally a class F extinguisher (DO NOT EVER use a water/foam extinguisher on a fat fire). Fire extinguishers should be inspected by a licensed professional every two years and must not be used again after breaking the seal without a check-over by a licensed professional.

Also, have your building's electrical lines checked at least once a decade and after each major rework if they are up to code, and regularly check appliance cables for damage. Electrical defects account (in Germany) for roughly a third of all fires.
Reminds me so much of the vaccine "debate", "no one gets polio anymore, why do I need to get the polio vaccine?"
> Profit is a strong incentive to optimize.

Optimize what? Certainly not costs, since for-profit hospitals have every incentive to push for unneeded expensive operations.

Maybe you’re mistaking healthcare for a market where meaningful competition and information symmetry exists?
That, plus the CNN article shared above can’t simply be reduced to failure of “the model”:

> Explanations for the current crisis “have to start with a consideration of Covid-19,” Ben Zaranko, an economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) whose work focuses on Britain’s health care system, told CNN. “There’s the simple fact that there are beds in hospitals occupied by Covid patients, which means those beds can’t be used for other things.”
The problem that there's no good way to pay for a single article. People don't want a subscription for the occasional article on an aggregator.
I agree that social media has become too much about content creation and not enough about enjoying life. I love its approach on focusing on tasks and activities instead.

But that's their very point: birth rates can't go down forever. The productivity gains of declining birth rates (which themselves are a product of scientific advancement and productivity gains leading to greater health and quality of life) might also be a relatively short-lived phenomenon. What if the population replacement rate starts to stabilize around 0? it's already happening in some places, and there are arguments to be made that is a desirable outcome.

I disagree. It is the Government's responsibility to its people to ensure buildings remain safe during earthquakes. If their building regulations are not being obeyed then it is their job to enforce it. It is their responsibility.
Pretty cynical opinion.
Hello Java servlets.
I've noticed that social media can sometimes take away from the enjoyment of life. Definitely interested in trying it out to see if it helps me focus on what's important.
Unless you are super careful, the result of taking services out of rotation as they become overloaded, very often results in cascading failures as each server in turn falls over because more increasing amount of traffic is directed at healthy ones.

You need to be super careful that a service never allows more concurrency than it can handle and fast fails requests when it is overloaded. Otherwise, tcp queues back up and the server ends up only working on requests that are too old to be useful.
>If I can't opt-out of the 911 fee, it's part of the price. It should be included in the price they advertise to me.

Hmm, I actually agree with you, but that would be raising the bar above where it is for normal pricing practice elsewhere in the U.S. e.g. shelf and menu prices exclude sales tax. In fact, for digitally-delivered services or goods that ship across state lines, it's impossible to know the final price unless you know the state (and, indeed, county and sometimes city) to which it's going to be delivered.

> Making things very expensive is precisely how to motivate people to innovate.

That statement has no caveats around persuasion and appeals to conscience.
That's partially true, but it's really a combo of both. Things like dual staircase requirements, elevator size requirements, and sprinkler requirements make it extremely expensive to build any sort of housing.

A recent affordable building in SF cost over $1 million per unit. That's completely unsustainable.
This is what I really liked about Paul Hegarty’s iOS dev course. His projects sort of deliberately walk students into the common pitfalls so that you can try to figure out a fix on your own and then he explains what/why/how Swift behaves that way.

He doesn’t deliberately teach you incorrectly but he’ll set up the project in such a way that when he asks you to add X he expects the vast majority will think “oh I just do this” which doesn’t work because the real answer is a bit more involved. Bonus: when you start spotting the pitfalls ahead of time it’s super motivating!
Why would you hope for that? We should all hope that Russian soldiers remain incompetent and die or withdraw without hurting anyone else.
