I have never been able to buy anything from eBay successfully, either it's fraud, or customs-postage get so fucking idiotic they demand more in fees than the cost of the item... never again, not like it ever worked for me

We need some external arbitration if the company has a defining market share. Hope the EU tackles this next.
> Now the wealthiest community in the United States has the unique distinction of also being the first community in the Bay Area to have a Builder’s Remedy project proposed. A young homeowner and computer engineer, frustrated that the town has been slow to permit the reconstruction of his water-damaged home, has announced plans to use the zoning holiday to build a 15-unit apartment complex and five townhomes on his property. Per the rules, four of those homes will house Los Altos Hills’ first low-income families.

> Local media speculates that this project may be out of spite by the young engineer regarding the NIMBY government of his town. Maybe, but it’s good nevertheless. Undoubtedly, this project will be sued by neighbors, but the courts have mostly ruled in favor of the Builder’s Remedy and other state housing laws so far.

> a country notorious for illegally kidnapping people in foreign countries

You could just as easily say this about the US. Just because we dress it up as “extraordinary rendition” makes no difference.
yes it did, they implied they're a bot... but bots have personalities, they are persons, just not biologically embedded
TBH, "I have a right to live where my parents did" is flat untrue, and while not a uniquely American pathology, something I observe my fellow countrymen believing without evidence.

I grew up in a town with an economic implosion. Very few people born here during the '70s stayed, and there was not, is not, and should not be a mechanism to bend the economics of the entire country to enable them to do so (if for no other reason than their industry collapsed for a compelling counter-concern: it was killing us. Pollution controls went in and the best companies in town could no longer compete while maintaining air quality standards and shuttered operations. So now people were out of work but the work was also not shortening their lives by a decade).
Weird, does he say what the item was anywhere? I wonder if there are some things that are technically allowed but trigger fraud flags when newly created accounts buy them with certain payment providers. Either way, terrible customer service...

Fair enough, although it seems unlikely, being such an extraordinary number. Perhaps we could at least agree that the increase due to excessive social media use among the Amish is likely much lower (as it is in those in the general public who do not partake?).

In any case, the Amish are not a serious social comparison, they are a curiosity, and nothing we can say or speculate about their failings will make ours any less. Does China have this problem? Did the US have it 20 years ago? [SPOILER: no] Is turning our children over to exploitative corporations and addictive algorithms likely to result in good outcomes? Do we have any data about this?
Interesting. I wonder if every university that uses the textbook just maintains it's own repo then?
> new residents (typically with high-paying tech jobs) are pushing out the parents and grandparents
It is the refusal to build housing that pushed up prices and pushes out parents and grandparents. It’s not the migrants’ fault. Would you rather the migrants simply stay poor where they are rather than seek a better life for themselves and their families. I believe freedom of movement is a fundamental human right.

> This is a profoundly subjective view, because homeowners could turn around and accuse new residents of enriching themselves at the expense of homeowners

Nothing is happening “at the expense of the homeowners.” The homeowners are the ones getting rich.
Sainsbury’s were completely out, but M&S are getting a reduced daily delivery.

What I’ve found odd is that the market trader greengrocer stall hasn’t been on the high street for about two weeks - don’t know if that’s a widespread thing.
In 2014 I purchased my first phone, via eBay. Its GPS unit was basically nonfunctional (twice I left it trying to get a fix in near-optimal conditions for more than half an hour, and the best it managed was observing two satellites), which was important for me at the time (I had resisted getting a phone for years and was only finally getting one because I was going to be out in unfamiliar wilds for a few weeks). I returned the phone. The seller denied receiving it. PayPal’s vaunted Buyer Protection rejected my claim. So I ended up $150 out of pocket.

(Yes, this is somewhat irrelevant here. But I haven’t ever grumbled about this incident and this brought it to mind, as another case of the powerlessness of the individual against a Machine.)

>So in some sense the huge influx of these new residents (typically with high-paying tech jobs) are pushing out the parents and grandparents

No one is forcing grandpa to sell his house by rezoning the land (the property tax won't go up due to pro 13). If your argument is that the house will appreciate in value and that grandpa is "forced" to sell his house because he likes money, well I have no argument.
Having a majority-elected government step in to restrict the property rights of individuals is literally the most democratic thing possible. That is the purpose of the US democracy: to "promote the general Welfare".

You're confusing your ideas of property rights with actual US democratic ideals, which are not equal at all. In fact the idea of property rights is explicitly left out of the Declaration of Independence; where Locke would declare "Life, Liberty, and Property" as inalienable human rights, Jefferson changes "Property" to "Pursuit of Happiness". (Quite a strange distinction for a man who owned slaves!) This is because there was great debate about property and lordship in the New World. Property holders were seen as the tyrants who oppressed the colonists, and prevented the Americans from doing what they needed to do to live, in pursuit of their own profits and investments. So, the idea of a democratic government's eminent domain is absolutely the point: to keep the land available for public good and not for the sole-benefit of the few.
Ask HN: Is Windows That Bad?
I need to replace my old MacBook, and I am curious to try something new. Modern thinkpads look pretty attractive, and it’ll be nice to have an option to install Linux (can’t wait for full support for Linux on arm macs).

My use case is simple: web programming and general computing.

The last time I owned a non-Apple computer was around 2011, and Windows 7 was pretty good for everything I needed.

Nowadays, I read a lot of criticisms about Windows 10 and 11, and simultaneously some praise of the Linux subsystem. It’s very hard to understand whether Windows is really that bad?

Would be curious to hear some positives, or perhaps successful “Mac-to-windows” transition stories.
Mild disagree — not everything has to be about über-capitalism and the free market. Sometimes we should just make it easy to live in places (within reason) just for the sake of being human. We all share this earth, together.

We don't need a housing market where buying a small fixer upper costs millions. That's unjust.

And? There are dozens of cities that don't have a housing shortage. Living in the city of your choice isn't a human right.
Does Assured AB have a good reputation?
That should not be their right. It's unconscionable that an employer should be permitted to bar an employee from making a factual statement on the record about their employment.
The only reason the state is stepping in is because the municipalities are overreaching on their authority over property owners. The state isn't taking local control away, it's releasing control to a more local level, the individual property owners.
It is a 'necessity'. Building and/or zoning codes require often 1200 sq ft minimum and then it's illegal to rent out beyond a certain occupancy.

You may be able to get away with it with just adults. Kids talk, sooner or later some 'well meaning' individual reports them to CPS for 'inadequate shelter' and the whole thing destruct.
send-email/stack is very niche in use from my experience. Only the Linux kernel and SourceHut really make heavy use of it (and from what I've heard, SourceHut is also looking into at least giving developers the option to not need to use send-email, but no clue how far that is).

The reality is that tools like send-email just... don't really work under the current email oligopoly (since the big providers both heavily filter emails and generally consider IMAP to be insecure). That entire model dates back to the days where email accounts mostly were tied to universities and as a result an emails name had a lot more meaning.

Heck, even for the kernel, send-mail is starting to fall out of practice because it just renders like shit in most email clients. It's a rather dated model.

The pull request flow is the de-facto industry standard, basically all but the oldest git-based projects use it. Not all are on GitHub (since it's proprietary or just straight up issues with GitHub as a company), but even when they aren't, self-hosted git servers like gitea and gitlab are both still using that exact flow.

The examples where this isn't the case are generally rare enough that they're worth more learning as a procedure for that project than as an easily transferrable skill.
> I think my time spent thinking about other endeavors in my life is more valuable than another 7-17 years of several chickens' life.

I suppose I could argue that you don't even need to spend time thinking about it; you can just stop eating chickens. You aren't faced with a challenge here because the solution is clear and freely available.

> If I believed chickens had a greater sense of sentience, self awareness, and experienced life much at all beyond...

The more I learn about birds the more I think they're far more sentient and aware than we give them credit. Some certainly seem to possess more mental acuity than others, but I no longer believe chickens are vacant little meat vehicles.

One thing to consider is that the chickens you're familiar with have been raised in conditions which are conducive to them appearing fairly stupid. They're trained to expect very regular conditions, and are never given a chance to exercise their brains in order to become sharper or display more awareness.

If you met humans who lived a similarly deprived life, I suspect they would also appear useless and stupid.

We've also bred chickens to be a certain way, and that aspect of it is a bit unsettling to me. If we've in fact created a creature which is that stupid and vacant so we can consume it without feeling bad, there's something disturbing about that picture. It's like removing the soul from something so you can abuse it freely. In order to spare our conscience we effectively had to "kill" an entire lineage of living things. We know that the bird chickens originated from is not a grain-pecking zombie, so... What have we really done, and why? Is that something we should perpetuate? I find it quite a disturbing concept if it were to be true, though I do doubt that chickens truly are so mentally dull that their living or dying is irrelevant.

> I am fine with a chicken living in a servitude that involves walking around in nature, getting fed as much as they want, having shelter and warmth at night, having plenty of social interactions, having human caretakers watching them every day, and getting a quick painless death after a few years.

One interesting thing to me here is: If you think it's okay to kill the chicken eventually, why does it matter if its life prior was good or not? Where do you draw these lines and why? If you care about the chicken a _bit_, why do you, and why don't you _more_? What qualities would a chicken need to possess in order for you to decide it's not okay to eat it?

Upon asking myself this I realized I didn't have good answers. I prefer witnessing chickens being alive over having them on my plate to enjoy for a fleeting moment.

I'm not arguing at all; most people disagree, so I realize I'm probably wrong. It's very much a "feels"-based discussion.
on average; the heads and tails of the bell curve most likely approach infinite levels of adventure :)

I was contemplating something in this direction once. That this concentration in the bay area could very well be driven by the tastes and desires of the CEOs and other execs who are pleased to live in the comfy parts of the bay area regardless of the outcomes of their employees and how much blood is squeezed out of them by the high cost of living and time sunk on commutes.

I think it was Elon Musk who made me ponder this. Somewhere he blasted the notion that most of the Silicon Valley venture capital gets blown on housing costs. That made me ponder what other alternatives could be found and what other productive uses that money could have been spent on. It's a fascinating train of thought with big directions it could go. That's an interesting idea about encouraging the subsidization of a town, I'd like to see that experiment tried if it hasn't yet.
apart from massively-parallel beam systems as discussed elsewhere here, it seems more likely to me that e-beams could be used for mask-making, which might make it easier for smaller clients to make the jump to modern processes.

like if you can do a 7nm or 14nm tier mask maybe that becomes a pivot to a 28nm actual production process, or maybe it makes multipatterning and some of the other advanced-node tricks more accessible at a semi-reasonable cost.

This is hilarious. I hope these people who voted for the communists and ran companies that allowed the commissars to take over are happy to reap what they have sown. They now have the gall to act surprised by all of this. It's probably time to take inclusionary housing policy to the Supreme Court because it's clearly unconstitutional.

I know it can be difficult to think putting your health and and mental well-being first especially during stressful bouts.

I’ve had undiagnosed ADHD since I was a teen (now 32) and recently got a diagnosis and started using medication (Vyvanse).

Without a doubt the only thing that has ever come close to helping me feel “normal” has been exercising regularly. Whether it was going for a run, or lifting weights, the stillness you feel through medication is something I only felt after a nice workout.

So that’s what i’d recommend. Put your physical health first, eat better, exercise regularly, and top it off with something low effort but high reward like yoga or meditation. That is the only way.

Farming as a whole is probably just going to have to become a sunk cost center for economies. Sure, no one will make a profit and we take money from high margin industries and move it into farming, but you also won't have food shortages.

> mountains aren't very high

Yes and no. For example Aonach Beag is 4049 ft above sea level. But it basically begins at sea level. By contrast Mt Cowen, one of the highest local peaks near me here in Montana is 11212ft above sea level, but the bottom of it is roughly 5000ft so not that much higher in terms of actual mountain to climb.

> Logic done seriously requires a mathematical maturity most high-school students simply don't have.

I guess that "done seriously", that's true. But basic logic is like basic arithmetic; they teach that in primary schools. I don't see why they shouldn't teach elementary logic.

In one of the Narnia books, the old professor bemoans the fact that "they don't teach logic in schools any more".

Philosophy is another matter; I agree with the upthread poster who says that philosophy requires motivation. I don't think an introduction to philosophy is much use, except to help you decide whether you want to learn philosophy properly, e.g. a couple of one-hour classes, so kids at least know what the word means (I didn't know, until I started my philosophy degree).
Few Shot Learning with Embeddings
