Narragansett is in New England! It's not exactly craft beer, but the bumper stickers on practically every car in RI tell me its following is pretty devoted. It's generally my beer of choice at bars, too, but I could survive if I had to go back to High Life.

Switchback is also pretty good. It's not a big name style but it's very well done for what it is. Most people don't know about it, though, it seems.

Is that where it came from? I will never click on a video that does that.
What I've noticed (purely my opinion):

1. We've reached Peak IPA. It was novel a couple decades ago, but geez, you can't taste the beer for the hops any more.

2. "Craft beer" has become a branding exercise. A lot of it is being brewed in contract breweries that will make a batch of whatever recipe you provide, with any label art you want. Bingo, craft beer. A couple of breweries in my region, in conversations, people say: "Oh yeah, they also brew for brands W, X, Y, and Z.

I end up bringing home something from one or two mid priced regional brands that taste good but don't break the bank.
This right here is the way to do it.
> Coinbase wants CLARITY. The SEC does not give any guidance, response, or anything related to this issue.

Coinbase's PR machine wants you to believe they want clarity. Their actual legal documents instead indicate that they're aware that they're probably violating regulations. Take their petition to the SEC for example--it starts by asking not "are cryptocurrencies securities under the Howey test" but "should cryptocurrencies be considered securities". For a document that's supposedly Coinbase's grand we're-going-to-make-the-SEC-clarify-regulation strategy, it's very long on asking for changes to the regulatory regime and very short on asking for clarifications on the application of regulation to cryptocurrencies. Which strongly suggests that they in fact know how the regulations apply to cryptocurrencies, they just don't like it.
> FTA: "We’ve always had the utmost respect for the user. Every internal decision about look and function answers the questions 'What does the customer need?' and 'How can we help them be more productive?' (Not 'How can we give them what they’re asking for?' because that isn’t the right question to answer.)"

Wow, I gave you an out on that borderline white supremacist rhetoric and you didn't take it.
Exactly, but also for most products so does any company that does any manufacturing.

There are very few companies that manufacture goods themselves due to the massive capital costs. But that means anyone can buy one the devices you invented, tear it down and reverse engineer it, and then send plans of to a (maybe the same!) manufacturing facility. They can even undercut you on price because they don't have to spend any money actually designing anything.

The "remove patents" argument fails for the same reason "remove copyright" fails. Developing anything takes time and money, and if there is no ability to profit from that (because anyone else can copy it - in the case of software this is literally - they can sell it cheaper than you), so there are legal protections for the "intellectual property" rather than just the physical goods being sold. If you remove them all sorts of things break: OSS/copyleft requires copyright - if you remove copyright then any company can take any "opensource" software and use it wholesale, and you can't require them to contribute anything back, or provide sources, or even make the binaries available.

Could it also be that syllables are intrinsically mechanical? They are strongly related to how our mouths work. While it may be possible to extract syllables from written text - following the consonants and vowels - I'm not sure that many humans could easily count syllables without using their mouths.

I recently bout BBedit on their 30th birthday event.

BBEdit / TextMate has the Mac feel that I enjoy editing long-form text in (recently, a lot of latex manuscripts); meanwhile, vscode is where I write code. I don't know what contributes to this difference exactly, but they occupy a different part of the market as of now.
It doesn’t have to be a good or bad investment. It can be something you pay for and use, and it provides actual utility. We could make owner occupiers first class citizens in our own society, having housing as primarily for housing people, with investment purposes secondary.

There's zero (0 , !!ZERO!!) ambient manmade light at night *, ourselves and our few neighbours have no outside lights, there is no city light popping up over the horizon, and there is very little radio frequency noise.

> Able to see satellites?

* Way too many - the freaking low orbit Starlink constellations smear trails across the sky as they reflect sunlight over the horizon back here onto the ground at night. There are moves being made to make them less reflective and to have ALL satellites turn off transmissions when passing overhead here .. but that's still largely an agreement in principle and still needs full implementation.

> no operating system has a universal style across all native apps

Imo, an app that isn’t using Cocoa (or carbon for older apps) widgets on macOS isn’t “native”. If you just use the default widget set on macOS, your app will have a consistent style with every other native app. If you use Qt, Swing, Electron, etc., your app will look out of place and break in ways that annoy at least some of your users.

The EU flights of Iranian airlines are an example of this, but virtually none of the others are; Iranian aircraft with undoubtedly questionable parts provenance are flying over myriad countries daily on their way to and from East Asia and South America. Your assertion about countries imposing tight standards on overflights really only applies to EU, US and a handful of other countries; most are not really willing / in a position to do so.
I checked a few dates.

Gmail launched in 2004.

The Patriot act was signed in to law in October 2001.

Bill Binney blew the whistle on illegal NSA mass data collection of email, web browsing, and cell phone records in 2002.

Hard to pinpoint when smartphones became mainstream, though as a point of reference the iPhone was launched in 2007.

So clearly the NSA was trying to do dragnet surveillance of the internet well before gmail or the widespread use of smartphones.

A quote from the Bill Binney wikipedia page:
"Binney has also been publicly critical of the NSA for spying on U.S. citizens, saying of its expanded surveillance after the September 11, 2001 attacks that 'it's better than anything that the KGB, the Stasi, or the Gestapo and SS ever had'"

I'm too lazy to get it to add two large numbers together.

Buying a single-family house should "net" you basically inflation (ignoring maintenance costs) over long periods of time.

So if the house cost $x in 1960, it should cost the same in 2023 adjusted for inflation (which can still leave you large paper gains that the IRS will tax you on if it goes over exclusions).

It isn't often that I can say that a New York Times Article was written well. By written well I don't mean that I agree with its conclusions or that what it has to say is important in some societal context. I simply mean that the author put his thoughts very eloquently and helped me understand the depth of his ideas with beautiful prose. This article was written well in a very fundamental writers skill kind of way!

> Except for all those listed in the article, such as a full engine replacement being hard to do at an airport not equipped for it, the engine being very hard to ship because it only fits on 2 plane models, with very few operators available, etc. Just because the repairs turned out to be quick doesn't mean that a full engine replacement wouldn't have been a significant multi-week undertaking.

Hence why I said: "the logistical challenges if it had required an engine change are certainly real, though."

It's still the case that all of those logistical challenges were considered when Air India decided to continue flying over Russia, it's not some kind of movie-plot "oh shit" moment when a diversion inevitably happens.
This is philanthropy porn. He is not the philanthropist because he doesnt haev the money in the first place, he is using other people's money to perform charity on camera.

I 'm not very religious but it is a tale as old as humans. The christian gospels called out this hypocricy for a reason:

> Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory before me. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their rewards. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” – Matthew 6:2-4

The other thing is that philanthropy is about helping people according to their need, not randomly or according to their willingness to get on cam

Ask HN: Is our society equipped to deal with modern social networks and tech?
It feels like our social constructs are not designed to deal with modern technology.

Consider how real world communities are organized. In most of the world we have residential districts and commercial districts. Residential districts are meant to be a quiet place of rest/reflection and commercial districts are where people gather to advance our society forward.

Big cities are a special mix of commercial/residential but with their own constraints and culture.

When a human being walks down the street, visits a restaurant, or goes shopping they aren't inundated with political view points, bad news from everywhere in the world, memes, etc. We as a society have specially allocated spaces for things like this. Maybe it's the city center where people stand around with megaphones preaching something. Or maybe it's a conference where people gather and exchange viewpoints. Or a university where the focus is learning and information exchange.

These "social constructs", for lack of a better term (?), took thousands of years to build and optimize. And most of them were built in an age where information took a long time to travel.

But today information travels fast. We are all connected more than ever before. Humanity consists of large hive minds that can feed information to each other instantly at any time of day.

What I'm wondering is...

- What are the long term side effects of an unfiltered, unlimited, and rapid transfer of information from arbitrary sources?

- Is the human mind even capable of operating in a global information system. Put another way, hasn't most of human evolution occurred within smaller local ("tribal"?) communities; a scale we can deal with mentally?

Every year it feels like more and more of our humanity is being transferred into a virtual space that is no more real than a video game. The connection with close friends and relatives is still there but I feel the connection loosening despite my best efforts. I see this happening to everyone around me, not just myself.

It feels like local communities are dying or completely non-existent. We aren't "forced" to deal with each other and so we... don't.

Something crucial is missing and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. And I'm worried.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
Valley Fair did complete a major renovation about by December 2022,
and I agree that is a glaring omission in Westfield's PR statement.

It doesn't refute that Westfield Valley Fair is booming and bustling, since the renovation. I live in Santa Clara like 1 mile from Valley Fair, and visit frequently to shop for gifts.
Subtly, completing the renovation improved the pedestrian circulation in the mall, there aren't dead-end wings now.

Valley Fair is very busy, like many people there on any weekend and most evenings, but not inconveniently so. Busier than any other commercial venue I've seen post-pandemic. On weekends some restaurants there have long lines that I don't understand to wait in, I'll go eat later at a neighborhood restaurant.

The slow driving traffic that I've encountered is when I leave at 9pm when the mall closes and there is mass exit. I could the 1 mile too, or bike or scooter, but I often drive.
Well yes but the energy scale involved is tiny. We notice these things with nuclear reactions because the energies are much higher.

The chemical energy in the electron orbitals is far lower by comparison (infrared as opposed to gamma radiation).

Ask HN: Learning Modern Compilers?
I recall reading a comment on here at some point in the last year where someone who worked on a team that wrote compilers lamented the difficulty in hiring qualified people because the practice of compiler construction differs so wildly from what is taught in university programs or even most recently published compiler books. Apparently modern compiler construction scarcely resembles what is taught in university courses based on the Dragon book or similar, both in the higher level architecture and the lower level techniques and patterns

I know that one recent innovation is that compilers have adopted a more service-oriented architecture, kind of like the Roslyn compiler. This allows them to not only compile your code, but (for instance) inform your text editor and linter and similar tooling of syntax issues

What are other differences? Is llvm still relevant outside of academia?

Are there any books, papers, or open source projects one could study to learn how compilers are built in this day and age?

Also: does the more abstract "programming language theory" popular in the more formal functional programming world (e.g. denotational semantics, lambda calculus, Floyd-Hoare logic, type theory, etc: this sort of stuff[1]) have any relevance to compiler writers and language/language tooling developers in industry?

> If for the electron shell we can calculate pretty much anything we want from the first principles (energy spectra, the half-lives of unstable and metastable states, etc.), we can't do anything similar for the nucleus.

As I understand it, we can only really do that for a single-electron atoms. Multi-electron interactions get the same problem as inside the nucleus.

What you need to do is pick an entity that has the information you desire, and recursively enumerate the graph of all business deals which involve the sale of that information (their downstreams, effectively). After that, you do OSINT to map out all of the employees of every organization that has access to these databases. After you have mapped out these tens of thousands of individuals and their likely social graphs, all you have to do is pay one of them a relatively small sum to do a query on your behalf.
Alan Watts was the one that was always saying, "the you that is trying to be better is the same you that needs improving." Try breaking out of that trap!

To some degree if you are going to change yourself for the better, you will already be doing it. It is a bit defeatist but also a little bit of truth.

It is like how some folks try desperately to learn an instrument or get better are writing or whatever. They have this grim determination that it is something that needs to be done. To some degree you need that push through but for many it is just the process of getting to the goal, not a means of self improvement.

What I mean by that is, look at those that just took to playing musical instruments as a child. It wasn't necessarily because they were forced to do so but because they had an innate drive to do it. The lessons and practice was just a means to improve on something they were already trying to do.

All the Gibbs brothers in The BeeGee's (and Andy) took to instruments before the age of 3, they didn't do it to be better, it was just something they did.
You are assuming that technological and political advancements are likely to have happened independently everywhere without contact with civilizations that already developed them. Or that if Algerians developed them before French, they would have been any more enlightened. In fact, conditions necessary for technological advancements probably require some degree of enlightenment, although a very low bar by modern standards. So mostly you get to blame French for being first to become powerful and pity Algerians for not getting as much benefit as if they made all these inventions themselves or they were shared in a peaceful manner. Claim that they would have Internet to shut off if they were somehow isolated from the rest of the world since 1830 is pretty unlikely.
> It's very common for mom and pop landlords to buy homes through LLCs for liability protection.

As a side node, for mom and pop landlords this is more of a myth than actual liability protection.

It's arguably more useful to keep various properties separate so you can sell them easier than anything else. Maybe some liability protection if the LLC is named such that people don't realize you own it, but any actual liability lawyer will see right through it.
