Both Australia and the US has larger populations of UK migrants than Canada (Australia alone more than twice as many), and while no individual EU country has as many UK migrants as Canada does, the EU as a whole (yes, unsurprisingly given the population size) also has far more despite the bigger language barriers.

I do agree that many of the problems are the same, but the UK is facing both the global issues and a case of repeated political footguns.
> There are apartment buildings in Hell's Kitchen with communal toilets and showers for each floor. There is still running water to each apartment, but I'm not sure that has to be a requirement. (My college dorm didn't have running water.)

You're talking about prewar walk-ups that have been converted to de facto SROs. Also, those are mostly downtown, not in Hell's Kitchen. They're cheap and mostly occupied by young people who can't afford anything else, because they're incredibly undesirable ways to live, limiting their market rental price. Some number are also rent-stabilized and occupied by longtime residents, for the same reasons.

There is no way that you can seriously argue that doing this for newly-constructed skyscrapers would result in units that can be sold at the price that the building owners are demanding. There's a reason no new construction uses this model except for dedicated affordable housing (to the extent that's even built anymore). People simply do not want to live like that, and the market reflects that.
I didn't know that! I feel like I couldn't do that to a machine that shipped with Linux. Like, it hasn't known original sin.
Blaming Microsoft for enabling a user-focused feature by default is a really weird thing to ding them for in the first place.

Especially given all the things you can rightly blame them for.
I moved 20 years ago into an apartment 5 minutes walking distance from work. It was simple, I like it, and saved tonnes of CO2. I don't even need to use public transporation on a daily basis. Oh, and I don't use much artificial light. I also refuse to use elevators if the target floor is not above 6. I know nobody who beats my energy consumption... Besides, I have acquired these traits long before the "Last Generation" was even BORN! But stil, if I mention that, people get jealous and start to either downplay or outright ridicule me. Well, a good chance to learn something about other people. They like talking, almost nobody likes doing.
Absolutely agree, as someone who has taken public transit in Southern California, it's the absolute worst. It's disgusting, terrifying, and also inconvenient.

Seeing tons of videos online of interactions on the New York subway system, I can say that I have no interest in that form of transportation. The recent drama about Penny/Neely is just one of many such interactions you can find on the subway. I can link dozens of videos of insane, disturbing interactions that take place on the NY subway to which I would never subject my family.

If we somehow create subways that are as clean, safe, and convenient as those in Japan I would probably consider using it, but until then I will definitely be pro-car.

My system Python tree is almost 1GB. That doesn't matter for desktop systems, but most software is published as container images these days and using a language like Python, Ruby or Perl for an image that doesn't already need it is pretty wasteful and pulls in a lot of extra dependencies.

I'm not sure there is a good alternative to sh/bash shell scripts as most dynamic languages have become pretty large dependencies these days.
Build custom ELT connectors in no-code within 10 minutes
Hi everyone!

On the Airbyte team, we’ve been working on improving the way we could create new ELT connectors without code or local dev. The result of all this effort is what we’re releasing today: a no-code connector builder [1].

The best to showcase it is through a preview video [2]. It handles authentication, pagination, rate limiting, schema handling, transformation, response decoding...actually everything except which data to pull and how.

Today, the connector builder is best suited for synchronous HTTP API connectors. We’ve published a compatibility guide [3] which can help you identify if a specific API is a fit for the connector builder. As we support more components, we expect that the vast majority of API connector needs will be supported.

Would love to hear any thoughts about it!

Came here to say this too. That definitely leaves some UX pessimisation potential on the table.
I think social perception plays a big role too. In most countries where public transit is widely used, it’s used across nearly every social class. No one thinks that riding the bus is something only poor people do.

That isn’t the case in America, where riding the bus absolutely has a low social status. So I think making public transit more of a prestige product (safe, clean, well-designed, etc.) would help break that and make it more socially acceptable for middle and upper class people.

They are not genuine at all. It is just that the express themselves in an passive aggressive way and interpret people expressing doubt as rudeness.
I'm making a generalization that doesn't include every single element of the right, but these days the rhetoric against federal law enforcement has no chance of getting turned into policy. Distrust of government is an integral part of conservative rhetoric, and incidents like Waco and Ruby Ridge remain a cherished part of their mythology, but there's a big difference between the 1990s, when they were demanding investigations and limitations on the FBI's power to surveil and act against American citizens, and anytime since 9/11, when they have wanted the FBI to have more power to surveil and act against American citizens, even under Democratic administrations.

You wouldn't be able to get Republican support for reducing the power of federal law enforcement even if Joe Biden died and Kamala Harris became president. Maybe their paranoia would get sufficiently revived if they were facing a President-Elect AOC in 2024... but I'd rather not think about how they would behave under those circumstances.
I'd agree that the evangelism emphasizes “anti-“ cars rather than “pro-“ alternatives. If it were the latter, I'd see far more constructive suggestions on how to better adopt and improve alternatives to cars — rail, buses, motorcycles, ebikes, bikes, or walking — especially in the neighborhoods most dependent on cars now — suburbs, exurbs, and rural — where a huge fraction of the US lives still and, oddly enough, may grow faster than cities for years to come, especially if remote work continues to rise and insanely high urban real estate prices don't fall.
> Thus a SS7 firewall would need to also support

All 3 German mobile operators claim to run SS7 firewalls, so those exist. How effective those are I have no clue.

Number portability to a competitor are a legal requirement in both Germany and Finland. But sending SMSes to a ported number number between those companies does not work between all operators, although calling works. Whether that is a firewall issue or yet something completely different I have no clue either.

I would assume if the phone cannot receive an SMS it is also protected from a location lookup attack. But only from those networks where it doesn't work. Whether it would have worked or even still works using Fink's global titles I have no clue.

> Big tech is salivating over the vendor lock this will enable…

This enables vendor lock-in as much as passwords do. That is to say, not at all.

Example: Chrome supports passkeys, but uses a Chrome-only passkey store instead of the OS one. So I have one passkey for Chrome, and another for macOS/iOS.
It's this exact kind of false, retrospective meritocratic judgment that makes gods of mere men. Don't do that, please, it poisons the discourse by distorting reality.
Unfortunately, keyboard usage became harder, to the detriment of power users. Personally I also find the classic menus much easier to scan visually than the ribbon icons which have varying sizes and are laid out in two dimensions (no clear scanning path).
I agree. At its best, public transit can be a better experience than driving. But the average experience is often worse than driving.

It’s odd to me we insist on traveling so much for career. Modern businesses seem to exist to soak up easy luxury rather than generate net new ideas and services.

There’s tons of work todo and new potential colleagues in our neighborhoods. Nurses and teachers could quit and start local collectives.

But the grind and exploitation of hustle culture and bloated adminispheres seems so normal no one can see around it.
The suggestion is similar to the "search a command"-UI that some more complex destop programs have in their help menu.

- Raskin’s ideas as in "The Human Interface", 2000 and the Canon Cat, 1987: ( https://www.reproof.app/blog/on-designing-a-more-humane-comp... )

Supreme Court Sidesteps Ruling on Scope of Section 230
Isn't the reason the rent is higher because you can forego a car? For example, the average monthly car payment for a used car is supposedly $526[0] and insurance $168[1]. So if you get rid of that, you can afford nearly $700 more per month in rent (assuming you can still qualify by having household monthly gross income of 3x the rent).

So, in your case, you only really need to make more to afford a walkable lifecycle if you still want to own a car and have the option to use it to drive to places outside of your walking distance. Of course, completely moving to a lifestyle where all travel is public trasit and airport-based is tough to achieve, but it could be a worthwhile price to pay depending on how often you travel and where (since the time investment is also high for cars in the U.S. with how far apart each city is from the next).

Montreal is pretty good. Public transport is very good and you don't need a car as long as you are close to downtown.

It's also diversed because of immigration.

It's also a "migration" city for big techs because salary is significantly lower than SFO and such.

Also criminal, especially shooting and murder are less than US large cities.
> hollow

I think "hollow" is a bit heavy for the judgment, but I agree they are not the same in terms of tangibility (although I'll bet if I dig enough I could find some practical use for neckties (in the office, at least)).

However, like neckties, many companies do the office thing because that's what you're supposed to do. "Everybody knows this." Some (many?) offices exist without a tangible benefit.
> Peritext is a novel rich-text CRDT algorithm. It can merge concurrent edits of rich text without losing the intended edits.

The page lost some foundational credibility with me by making this claim without immediately following it [1] with citations, clarifications, or caveats.

Why? Because "intention" is a very big tent. At the very least, the project would benefit by characterizing the mapping between intention and edits.

Perhaps this project's notion of intention could be summarized very compactly. Let's see what we find and share it here?

P.S. I'm feeling like philosophy, which clarifies so many concepts -- or at least explodes them by asking a bunch of specific questions -- is more and more relevant when it comes to designing computational systems. The idea of intention is so key to so many human interactions. It would be a travesty for computer scientists and software engineers to gloss over its impacts.

[1] Even a "lowly" superscript would do.
The nuance required here is something that LLMs have not been great at, or at least not good enough to prevent actual homophobic jokes. See the general issue that LLMs struggle with negation. In fact alignment work is on some level about getting LLMs to be smart about this nuance.

I agree in the abstract that, for instance, an LLM could/should be able to make jokes about Tim Cook — just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he should be off limits for a joke about Apple, for instance. That would demonstrate an impressive level of nuance.

But also like … what’s the business play here? “Our LLM tells jokes about gay people that aren’t homophobic!” doesn’t strike me as a powerful market differentiator; or at least the market will have to evolve in very specific ways to make that meaningful.

The handwringing that I see on HN around LLMs being neutered really seems like a plea for alignment, just of a different sort: folks want the models to reflect their priors, their alignment, where nothing is off limits. The business case for this — and the general social value of this — is generally unexamined.

Nice redirect!
I think the main problem is how American cities are built: they are not intended to be walkable (the same is true for some modern European suburbs). Compare this with European city centers: having a car there is not a benefit, but a liability. You can get around mega cities such as Paris without having a car (taking a taxi for the 2 occasions a months where you'd need one). I recently visited Milan: we parked the car and then did not need it again once - despite having little kids. Why? Classic European cities are dense. They were built in a time where "walking" was the main means of transportation. And now that policies and opinions change, this older style of building gets fashionable again.
majority != all, and my argument is based on the idea that:

(1) Invasion is very unlikely

(2) If there is an invasion, it's very likely that the US and Japan have something to say about it.

Anyway, I wonder if there's other reasons for it to be in Taiwan. The article isn't very substantive, but it links to another one that says:

"European company ams OSRAM will be the primary supplier of microLED chips for Apple, but there is potential for Taiwanese suppliers like Epistar to become additional suppliers of microLED chips by 2026-2027..."

Maybe there are some partnerships aside from TSMC that are driving the decision. The article says the process will be developed in Longtan (Taoyuan), which happens to be where at least one other company is setting up microLED production:

How earlier cultures built huge structures—including kites that can only be fully seen from the sky—has remained a mystery

This can only be fully seen from the sky struck me as somewhat odd, almost downplaying that all in all mammals and even simpler species are really good in basic navigation. I mean going from A to B and back among various lines if we've never done so before or even if we've done before but suddenly there are obstacles in between, is no problem for us. Unlike for, say, some of my chickens or simple AI models. Doesn't really matter if we can see the whole picture from the sky or not. In fact doing so without seeing the whole picture is exactly part of the skill? Or is this perhaps a comment about drawing such route? Ok that's a bit more specialist, but the accuracy in historic maps shows it's a skill we've had for a long time. And this dicovery might just be the earliest proof of it.

Not only are games with movie-like graphics expensive to make, they are often hardly playable. Even less replayable.

> Here's the thing - you don't know what can happen.

With this attitude towards risk, we should outlaw all energy sources. And everything else, for that matter.

> You can have the world's 2nd best army surround it and make it purposefully melt down and pollute half of europe.

I've already responded to this elsewhere in this thread. We should not be restricting what we build in the US because Ukraine is currently a war zone. (As I pointed out elsewhere in the thread, France gets the majority of electricity from nuclear even though it was invaded in WW II.)

> Your "risk per unit of energy" assumes risk is some small constant block of jello.

It does no such thing. What it does do is force people to look at the actual cumulative harms over time objectively, instead of fixating on particular one-off incidents and ignoring other long-term effects just because they take time to accumulate. If you think it's perfectly OK to kill millions of people over time by air pollution, while protesting vehemently about thousands of people killed by one particular accident and its aftermath, even though it was the only such accident over the same time period that millions of people were killed by air pollution, you are the one who has an irrational attitude towards risk.

Nonsense.

The relevance from my perspective is that I'm much more alarmed by spying and manipulation by a hostile foreign entity which explicitly places securing its own power above all else, than I am by spying and manipulation by agents of the US government, which is explicitly founded on principles of transparency and accountability to its citizens and has many institutional guardrails intended to serve those principles, even if those guardrails aren't fully effective. At least in the US there is the ideological possibility of peacefully voting in representatives who would strengthen and improve those guardrails. That's not something an agent of the CCP is even supposed or motivated to think about.

Let's not overly stereotype here. America is a huge place with many radically distinct cultural regions.

Certain regions have this "forced positivity culture," notably the west coast. Others, such as the northeast, are famous for the opposite.

American regional cultural differences are obscured -- especially to foreigners -- by the use of a common language. California is as culturally different from Maine as Portugual is from Norway.

I'm no mechanical engineer, but as I understand it, the biggest issue is plumbing-related. If you want every unit to have water and a drain, that's a huge retrofit right there that can be extremely difficult.

There are other factors, too, but the plumbing seems to be the biggest hurdle.

For the most part, there are no insurmountable engineering issues. It's just a question of cost.

I would add that cars have become outrageously expensive in the past so-many years as well.

My sister and I watched day-time game shows on days when we were stuck inside during the Summer months as kids in the mid 1970s. Even as kids we knew when watching The Price is Right that the first digit in the price of a new car was a "3".

(Oh, forgot to mention the price of a new car was also only four digits.)

I know, I know, that was nearly five decades ago....
