China and the USSR never quite "split" from North Vietnam until well after the end of the war in 1975 (the Sino-Vietnamese war in 1979 was the China aplit which was mended in the 80's).

The Sino-Soviet split had already happened (as you mentioned) and North Vietnam played China and the USSR off against each other "who can be the best friend of an important communist revolutionary government?".

It wasn't until the US engaged both China and the USSR in detente, and the war had progressed to such an extent it was obvious the US was leaving, that Vietnam moved way down the list of priorities for both the USSR and China. Both countries continued to support North Vietnam, but it was heavily tempered by what they might lose with the US.

HN is a western status quo community. There isn’t much intersectionalism or dissenting ideas. I do see people say what you’re saying, but without giving any guidelines or examples of contrarian opinions that do not get dismissed.

From my perspective, the HN you’re describing is equivalent to tech, IT, startup, VC sort of subreddits. Obviously HN has broad news too but the Overton window and acceptable dialogue of HN is limited to how those sorts of subreddits are.
> Lol because there’s no need for them to be corrected.

Because you’re a bigot who refuses to respect a person’s wishes, yes. You’ve made that clear already. Glad we’re in agreement.

Trying to spin advocating for treating people respectfully as a bad thing is the only thing that’s embarrassing here. And that’s sure not coming from me.

I’m done here, good luck continuing to live as a shitstain on the world.
In case you haven't already, please consult a professional. Do yourself the favor, you're worth it.

Edit: @asddubs: thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, though you never know what reality faces the person on the other end of a link, which is why I still try. Sometimes you might be surprised. And thank you for helping get my karma back to an even number, all is well again. Your friendly friend, MD.
Three years ago, not one of those six people ever offered a denial.

Your rebuttal is ... a gist?

Funnily, I can prove this gist wrong in about 15 seconds:

And yet AutoModerator is a Mod of far more.

The first dozen posts on its user page are for subreddits not listed on here, all of which it moderates: randominterface, aistuff21, genkicourses_com, genkicourses_cheapest, I could go on and on and on.

So I have no idea what this random snippet is meant to disprove. It's certainly not reliable or complete.
Others in the thread have already provided explanations of the features, but I would like to highlight how I personally utilize KDE Activities as a use case. I rely on it to create dedicated spaces for different projects or clients, complete with their own distinct virtual desktops and settings. This functionality has been invaluable to me, particularly when sharing screens with individuals involved in specific projects. This separation of tasks and switching between them is pretty seamless.
To be fair, I don't think it really makes sense to count consumable items like the bleach, deodorant, shampoo, handwash, etc. examples you gave. I wouldn't expect him to count the milk in his fridge or the olive oil in his pantry, either. Point being that just the natural day-to-day use of that stuff uses it up.

But yeah, I agree with the general point.
Off by an order of magnitude, <$3.99 each:

“Funk & Wagnalls volumes were typically sold in supermarkets as part of a “book-a-week” program. When Mr. Moser came up with the idea of reducing the normal charge to just pennies for the first volume…

The entire 27-volume Funk & Wagnalls set — along with the free two-volume dictionary, another sweetener dreamed up by Mr. Moser — cost a little more than $100.”

Yeah, the OP-1 fills a weird niche.

People talk about the $2,000 price tag (for the field) as being hard to justify. I feel the same way, but I do have some synths in the $2,000+ price range. In that price range, you can get a high-quality performance instrument--something like a proper stage piano, synthesizer workstation, or one of the cool analog or hybrid synths from Sequential.

And if I want something that's small, sleek, and portable like the OP-1, the iPad is totally killer these days. If I'm gonna drop money on high-end dedicated hardware, I could get something like an Octatrack or MPC.

The OP-1 seems a lot like, say, a Kawasaki Ninja. It's a sexy, sexy beast, but most people would rather have a car, or maybe a scooter or bicycle. You don't buy a Ninja because you need to get to the grocery store or visit your parents. You buy a Ninja because it awakens feelings within you.
I'd like to talk, this is something we want.
I don't see any evidence that people "expect them not to make money". Has anyone actually said that? I think the confusion is between the positive and negative meanings of "right". Neither party has the "right to make a profit" in the positive sense that society is obliged to structure itself in such a way that the eventual result is their making of a profit. Both parties have the "right to make a profit" in the negative sense that there are no legal restrictions in place that prevent their making of a profit per se.

In other words, they have the right to participate in commercial activity with the goal of making money, but they aren't entitled to success in that venture.

The confusion seems to be that Reddit is the entity making the decision here and they're the ones feeling the effects. Reddit has raised its prices. The response is "well it's a free market, they can do what they like, they've got the right to seek to make a profit". The apps have said they'll have to shut up shop as a result of the changes. The response is "well it's a free market, they aren't entitled to make a profit". There's no conflict here, it just looks like one on the surface if you aren't careful to distinguish between the right to make a profit and the right to seek a profit.

Interesting and it makes sense that a backwater would be helpful, giving it a similar vibe to Skunk Works. Not too much though. I think most parts of Utah would be unsuitable, but University of Utah is pretty good. It is right up on the edge of the mountain range, and in the biggest city of Utah.

There would be private units within Apple testing this headset for hours and days. And now that it's announced, this testing will be broadened to the more public areas of their facilities.

They're gunning directly for work/productivity use, because of or despite what they've learned about how people feel using it. Either thinking people will use it for a couple of hours with occasional breaks (lunch, etc) or the nausea and so on are less of an issue.

This is a massive investment/bet, so presumably they know what they're doing.

I question, did you even read the article?
The nuclear powers attempt to enforce a hegemony. For instance, the US has military bases in nations around the world. This tends to ensure nations like Japan or the Philippines aren't invaded anytime soon.

On the other hand, there are countries that aren't necessarily within this hegemony, and anything from warlordism to outright nation state warfare is liable to be taking place.
But the markets have never ever judged websites by "monetizable user count", just "user count". Click-through rate is about the closest thing to the metric and that itself is highly context specific.

This technologies basically do what Docker does, but without the overhead of a virtualized Linux kernel

There’s really no reason why a system upgrade requires root privileges,
That's one philosophy.

Another is that if your bike is for exercise, and you spend your time chugging up hills, then it doesn't matter if it's not built from the latest, lightest titanium alloy. The heavier the better in fact.
Windows has UAC, so you run things like root all the time, it's great

> There are a whole bible of strategies that ChromeOS implements to keep Chrome in it’s own little world. Among the strategies involve cgroups, namespacing, seccomp, etc… This technologies basically do what Docker does, but without the overhead of a virtualized Linux kernel

Docker doesn’t have a virtualized Linux kernel, it uses the same technologies mentioned directly on the existing kernel.

> Also, Linux desktop software has a very all-or-nothing approach to permissions. Root, or user.

I wonder why more systems don’t make use of Linux capabilities [1]. Technically root hasn’t been necessary for years; it’s just a convenient shorthand for “all capabilities”. Lots of things that needlessly run as root could instead be granted a much more limited set of capability xattrs instead by the package manager and consented to by the user. Using root in 2023 is lazy.

Is this referring to Mao and Kissinger? Calling Mao and Kissinger collectively cynical doesn’t fit. The imperialist war criminal being a cynical bastard makes sense. Not the eastern revolutionary leftist. That necessitates optimism.

Sad to hear that that scam is also used in Turkey, some very low and despicable people also use it here, in Romania, targeting elderly people, and it’s really vile. I explicitly warned my parents not to fall for it in case someone calls them.
> Wayland "features" some protections too - apps can't access the global clipboard, or move themselves, screen-record, whatever. And nobody likes it! Because the inconvenience far outweighs the benefits.

The problem is that apps can't request these permissions either, while they are absolutely critical for a select for apps so that a desktop environment can be used for actual work. It's just "use wlroots and figure it out yourself or tough luck"
seems like a useless piece of advice to give to someone with that level of awareness about it.

There's Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) maintained by the NSA, AppArmor and others. If security is what you want, you can have it.

Honestly I feel less secure with sandboxes Android apps that I do on desktop Linux.

On Linux I use my distro's curated repository (ex to install cozy, an ebook reader, or yt-dlp), I don't care that it has access to the rest of my system, the bonus point is that I can have access to its source code. On Android, the first app I see has "In-app purchases" and will probably spy on me. Yes... I agree I guess, on Android (therefore ChromeOS) app stores I definitelly want sandboxing because it's a very adversarial relationship between the users and the apps.

Unfortunatelly that means you need to get into sandboxes, throw stuff in VMs and all the other things that will make performance and efficiency suck.

I miss the time where my computer ran only software I controlled and it wasn't a free for all where everyone wants to run random code (Javascript from websites is a big one here).

Author refers 3 times to 20-pound plates of potatoes. Is that really a thing? I’ve eaten at thousands of restaurants and don’t recall anything like that but I’m not the most observant person.
I suspect because you have not done manual labor. When you really get in a routine, it just has this feeling at the end of the day after being outside in the sun or snow. It is nothing like sitting in front of a computer.

I firmly believe that in our dna we were wired to be outside most of the time.
I have to wonder if this is just the same cross-society trend of employees seemingly checking out and doing the bare minimum, manifesting in the C-suite. One would think top management should be doing the work of coming up with several different monetization strategies, analyzing what different types of backlash they each might cause, how to market them, simulating revenue given various levels of attrition, etc. Instead it's like they (he?) have chosen a single course of action and are just going to force it through at all costs, and they're in charge so why isn't everyone just doing what they say damnit.
Nobody should be using velocity as a metric anymore, it's pretty much now recognised as unhelpful as a measure of how a team is actually performing, I've seen it described as a vanity metric rather than a performance metric.

A team with a decent up to date SM or coach would be looking at their cycle time and throughput as decent measures of actual useful work delivered.

Purchasing a car is by and large the worst financial decision young people make.

Especially if it’s financed.

I’m not even sure it’s a decision they make of free will. It’s sold to them as an essential step along the road to adulthood.

Car ownership is a prison.

I’m sure many people will argue that cars are essential, and that where they live you can’t do without one.

Which is mostly true of where I live.

But the broader issue is that we’ve done this to ourselves.

One of the ways to build a better more social living existence is to deny car ownership.

I don’t believe the world was better in the olden days l, before cars. But I do believe it can be better in the future with less of them.

> The WHOLE POINT of this HN post is to poo-poo Dvorak's take on the iPhone AS IF the introduction of Apple Vision is comparable to the iPhone's introduction.

Not completely. This article is a great example of how meaningless unsubstantiated analysis is. The author makes a lot of anecdotal claims similar to the ones made regarding VR (“one time gimmick, a shelf decoration”)

I don’t think we’ve seen the complete potential of VR/AR technology and Im looking forward to see if Apple stepping in can normalize it.
Have a multi-screen workspace at the office, in the study, on the couch, outside, in a hotel, on the plane. Without having to cart a laptop and two extra displays everywhere.

I'd like to see a tag on every Vision Pro commenter noting whether they typically use multiple displays or not. Might help understand from where they're approaching the discussion.

If Apple can bend the OS to cover more and more of the average work needs, they'll make in-roads fast.
Why restaurant business is bad for you?
I'm going through my own journey with this at the moment, the thing I keep telling myself is that "this item will have a better life somewhere else" and "my house isn't a landfill". It's tough though.

Plus selling stuff is a full-time job really and it's annoying AF if it's not your day job. So I guess the question is - are you going to ever sell it? If not, then it doesn't really matter if it's expensive, it's just taking up space.
