> Celebrating someone's death means you would have killed them yourself if there was no consequence, am I wrong in saying that?

No it does not mean that, obviously. In your quest to righteous anger you have just wrote nonsense.
You're right, Mick West simply insisting a thing wouldn't be enough. Luckily, Mick West presents rational arguments for you to evaluate.
Can people not make games that are not intended to sell much? Like Passage (2008), Escape from Woomera (2004) etc, i.e. games that have a political or artistic purpose.

I ask this as someone who doesn't play video games (never played any of these so called "Art Games").
It's just a consumer VPN service... as a service!

Nobody calls Netflix a "serverless VOD platform" either, or Verizon a "serverless wireless carrier".
The billions of dollars it would take to develop such infrastructure would make this congestion charge cheap by comparison.
> I wonder if its bouncing open in the bag?

Definitely not physically possible in my bag. I've chalked it up to the fact that linux desktop environments are just a total hodgepodge of weird components with unclear responsibility boundaries that couldn't possibly handle all the edge cases properly when you stick them all together. This leads to stuff like the fact that if I suspend my laptop with an external monitor connected, but then un-suspend it without that external monitor connected, I'm often presented with a lock screen that I can't actually interact with, forcing me to either seek out a monitor or switch over to text console to log in and kill my session.
I'm really not trying to cherry pick stats, death by assault / homicide is a pretty good indicator of levels of violent crime. SF-proper (i.e. San Francisco County) has a huge and highly visible homelessness problem and is definitely an outlier on that dimension. But while that is unpleasant it is less worrying than actual violence.

The US limits gun control so even in states like California that try to do something about it there are many more deaths than in countries which actually do something about it.
It still seems like a boneheaded and ridiculous way to go about it, when simply not saying anything and running counterintelligence would also work and not make us look like clowns.
And 90% of all other UFO stories come from USA.
Nobody is using violence to stop workers from buying, renting, or building means of production. Buy your own example, violence only comes into play when they try to steal.

The only real violence you mentioned is if police attack striking workers, which is exceedingly rare in most developed countries with the rule of law. What percentage of striking workers do you think are physically harmed by police in the us? If you think that is a likely or common outcome, we are probably living in different realities. You say that laws just favor the workers, but I wouldn't want to be a worker in a society without property rights. There is no point in working if any value you create can be stolen with impunity.

Curious about the issues you faced on mobile!

At Slite I was part of the mobile team, and the editor is using Slate. So to make it work in React Native we had to go for a WebView (similar to what Notion uses), with all the downside it can bring..

I tickled with the possibilty to do a native adapter of Slate, but the fact that it's based on a content editable, makes it complicated to adapt in React Native..

I have the feeling that block approach might fit better a more native integration on mobile.
It seems similar to what Craft does, isn't it ?
Often, performance.

When I was at Meta, if you could measure it, you could ship it and mark that as a win in your performance review. So a lot of projects got shipped off of A/B tested metric wins.

Is it really “9/11 truther” to believe the terrorists flew planes into buildings and the government was too incompetent to stop them? I believe that’s the most anti-truther take possible.

Yes, that's true on most issues. Other than Trudeau's particular abhorrent personality, there is no fundamental difference between the liberals and conservatives on any substantive issue. They just have slightly different pork barrel projects and stupid tax credits.
> Typically, things are built on a devserver (although this was transitioning to on-demand VMs, for which the Google equivalent was CitC)

I skipped over that parenthetical in first read, but my God, it's not even wrong. I mean citc is excellent and all, but describing those as equivalent just makes me wonder if you held some non technical role and are just playing telephone from people who better understand things. Like I'm just imagining a conversation where you're like, how does Facebook handle this specific thing that's handled by a X at Google (or the reverse)? Getting an answer on one side that involves citc and the other that involves on demand and deciding that that specific problem represents the entirety of those two ecosystems.

I guess one of the difficulties I have here is that a lot of what you've described across a bunch of google-facebook comparison is just like so factually wrong that i can't ignore the problems with a direct reading of what you are saying. At a deeper level, I think I'd totally accept google's CITC and facebook's on-demand as like philosophically similar in that solutions to seemingly unrelated things fit into the structure enabled by those systems. Again though, I think crediting you with trying to discuss things in those terms would be too generous given that that equivalence is no more true of on-demand VMs than it is of devservers.
I'm either not smart enough to understand it, or I'm too smart to be bamboozled by it.

The city was a sort of clearing house center. Venetians controlled the Mediterranean trade and depended heavily on their privileged presence in Constantinople to do so. Losing that led to its inability to make the market, making everything much more expensive to Christian traders shut out of the financial system that underlined this trade. Which in turn led to the incentives for Lisbon based traders to go around Africa.
That's a very uninformed opinion. Nobody could say that unless they are capable of actually coming up with a solution that can handle version control at Meta's scale.

You should make that case to the mods (hn@ycombinator.com) rather than me (I'm not a mod, just another reader here).

For rationale, see e.g., <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27028471>

That's the case you'd want to be arguing against. Again, to the mods.

As an alternative, it's also a good idea to submit a comment along with the post explaining why a topic that's been recently discussed merits another go at the queue. You can do this by filling in the text box along with the URL in the submission. Your text will then post as the first comment on the thread.

"NYC is easily the city most connected by public transit in the US."

I wonder if there could possibly be reasons why people don't want to ride public transit (subways) in NYC...
Our whole global supply-chain is centered around fossil fuels. Don’t be so smug about high-tech electric vechicles.
A couple of suggestions:

Lock down the prefix string now before it’s too late and document it. I see in Go that it’s lowercase ascii, which seems fine except for compound types (like “article-comment”). May be worth looking at allowing a single separator given that many complex projects (and ORMs) can’t avoid them.

The Go implementation has no tests. This is very unit-testable. Add tests goddammit!

For Go, I’d align with Googles UUID implementation, with proper parse functions and an internal byte array instead of strings. Strings are for rendering (and in your case, the prefix). Right now, it looks like the parsing is too permissive, and goes into generation mode if the suffix is empty. And the SplitN+index thing will panic if no underscores, no? Anyway, tests will tell.

As for the actual design decisions, I tried to poke holes but I fold! I think this strikes the sweet spot between the different tradeoffs. Well done!

> Matter with negative mass has never been observed before, making it purely theoretical.

It's worse than merely theoretical because the theories we use to describe reality at present don't give us any reason to believe such exotic matter must exist, and there is no empirical evidence for such matter existing.

But slice it anyway you like, the Navy isn't operating these and there is no theoretical basis for explaining the sort of antigravity craft that UFOologists claim these Navy videos show. They aren't Alcubierre drives, that is simply absurd.

Given the current circumstances I think almost everybody with half a brain is going to predict more doom. Ray Dalio is well known enough that him saying it may be newsworthy but the general feeling around me is that things will get worse, possibly lots worse before they will get better again. That is an EU viewpoint and Dalio definitely doesn't live here so it may well be that this particular viewpoint is more widespread. His analysis could well be spot on, but regardless of the causes the 'commoners', myself included, will be lucky enough to just be able to hang on for the ride. Plenty of people will have their lives upended (or even ended) and before the world will reach a new and stable equilibrium (which may not happen for decades given the size of the challenges facing us, which are far, far larger than anything that came before while we were so fragile).

We’re both inelegant.
I'm also nostalgic for the early days of personal computing, back then there was more experimentation and when there was a greater sense of wonder about the possibilities. While I feel there are still a lot of exciting advances in other areas of computing such as artificial intelligence, I feel that innovation in the realm of personal computing has stagnated. Moreover, since the rise of Web 2.0 and smartphones, personal computing has been the target of aggressive monetization schemes and UI/UX trends that, in my opinion, have degraded the computing experience compared to the pre-Web 2.0/smartphone era. Of course, I don't want to look at the past with rose-colored glasses; while I'm nostalgic for Windows 95/98/NT/2000, I also feel Microsoft's monopolistic actions in the 1980s and 1990s and the crushing of competitors played a major role in shaping today's situation.

If I were a billionaire, I'd start an R&D group that is dedicated to improving the personal computing experience, producing an open source system.

The "US tech is light years ahead" is nonsense when this time around the story is that the US has an ultra secret UFO retrieval agency. How is it possible that no UFO has crashed outside the US jurisdiction, where they can't send their MIB in 2 hours?

Also, I'd like to remind Americans that we're not caveman here. We do have radar and jets flying and cameraphones.

The problem is that if you want to believe, you're ready to throw any kind of common sense and elementary logic out the window. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and this ain't it.

As we sit into our booth and the environment closes around use we are greeted with soft, soothing music.

As we get into conversation, the body language, verbal language, laughter and even facial expressions we express inform the mood of the room - and the music that it produces. A certain, unique-to-our-meeting melody. All of this is encoded and played back as music in real time.

Later we can use the melody to replay the mood and dialogue of the night - as everything that was said was encoded into the music heard - but may be decoded to have a recording of the conversation...

When people say 'carbon fiber is weaker under compressive loads', or 'cylinders distribute compressive forces unevenly', these kinds of issues seem like engineering challenges not fatal flaws. I feel like the problem with the Titan submersible was the lack of respect for safety, not any specific design choice.
As a tourist in NYC a few years ago, the honking was fascinating. Usually, you honk to get someone’s attention. Not in NYC. Thousands of people honking for literally no reason. Why does this affliction affect so many people? I wonder if by honking, people are subconsciously creating an association between honking and moving even though there’s no relationship?
Uhh, you haven't answered this person's question in the rest of the discussion. What is the value of this test over assuming that I have this? What treatment exists that I can get if I know my blood contains PFAs?
That's not the point from the quote, and it is actually discussed in the Google article
I've long suspected this is what you guys would end up focusing on (and applaud it) -almost like an OS for edge compute that abstracts away its details while allowing boring architectures built for single-point to 'just run' on it.

But is there a limit to how boring you can go? Can you truly, fully abstract over distributed systems stuff like eventual consistency and its basically random effects on UX in certain usage edge cases?

Or do you think 'boring' will have to meet you in the middle with frameworks and developer mindset also shifting over time to a more edge-first world?
> Maybe phi's necessary but not sufficient for consciousness; that would still be pretty interesting.

Would it be interesting? Why?

Coming up with conditions that are neccesary but not sufficient is pretty easy. Sure they are interesting if the conditions are non-intuitive and you've actually proven they are neccesary. I'm not sure either criteria is met here.

> If literally everyone ran an exit node

This is impossible in practice though, so while an interesting thought experiment, it has little bearing on reality. Your local court isn't going to be running a Tor exit node on their systems. Your friendly nearby S&P500 corp isn't going to be running Tor exit nodes on their systems. Your local public library probably won't either.

> They can't seize everyone's hardware.

With your thought experiment, yes, but in practice that's not going to be the case. You're more likely to end up with very selective enforcement instead -- if you run a Tor exit node, the justice system can effectively blackmail you because at the very least they can cause you a very expensive headache.

I was also quite disappointed. 100L -> 4000km. In the end it's 2.5L for 100km, good but nothing amazing.
You can, but because the full set if timezones is only known at runtime, it is not terribly useful. You can statically distinguish a canonical static timezone (say UTC) vs a dynamic ine though.

Same for currency.
It means I have exceptionally high confidence that this will be the biggest thing to hit the economy, society and markets in the last hundred years for good and ill.

Against this there is minimal risk in obtaining large scale supercompute which will be a scarce asset, funding will not peak for a few years and there is no way to scale to meet demand.

Almost nobody will also train their own models and open, auditable, models will be legally required for every government, regulated industries and more.

My role is to allocate the compute, build the partnerships & gather people who believe that this technology should be distributed globally which is why we have a very diverse team.

I am not very good with people though.
How is paying the same == suppressing?
One data point, but ~10 years ago, I called the electric providers in DFW to get some quotes. We have this and that option, yada yada yada. I told them that I wanted whatever was cheapest, and much to my surprise, it was the 100% wind option.
From my nieve point of view, I think, they made a mistake with the $100 lifetime fee (was that about a decade ago!). I paid that and have been using it since, and have never made another payment since.

I am as well, but I am refreshed by a world where computers were literally so shitty they still stayed on desk. And despite that they still had better interactivity than they do at times today.
Sure, introduce a Pigovian tax then enhance public transit / trains. But what will happen in practice is this money will go into general coffers, be squandered on graft, “consulting,” and intentionally non-viable pet projects, then we all are poorer.

I initially thought that no modification that will impact the amount of fuel was performed on the machine. That in itself will be an amazing feat.

This can be considered great if they made advancements in engine / combustion design that increased the distance traveled on a per liter (or gallon) of fuel.

No, people in software are currently mostly not at that breaking point (though they might get there). Maybe even most fresh graduates in (most) other fields whose optimism hasn't been crushed by the unceasing grind of day-to-day life with no progression.

I assure you a lot of people do break down over how hopeless it feels here. And I don't even think people are joking about MAiD as a retirement plan (and the people relying on MAiD as a retirement plan are also the people who support MAiD)

It's the people in their 30s who have no savings (I'm one of them). People in their 40s who work for <$24/hr and have had to rent at near-market for the majority of their time, for one reason or another. People who have been paycheck to paycheck despite busting their asses every day, and maybe even getting a bachelors degree that did nothing for them (again, I realize CS grads have been relatively unscathed here to date)

Vancouver has gotten much worse even in the last year, in terms of homelessness, mental health issues, rent prices, and overall affordability, so maybe if you moved away > 1 year ago you aren't even aware of how bad it's gotten.
