Freedom and a free market are virtues to be strived for, not a description of the current system in the USA.

What we have is best described as a mixed economy (like China's, just with a different mix of market and state that leans more towards market than China does), with an unhealthy dose of corporate regulatory capture.

Regardless of whether you're on team "big government" or team "free market", I'm pretty sure we're all quite dissatisfied with a big government that's largely captured and controlled via a revolving door between the powerful regulatory agencies and entrenched international corporations that have weaponized regulatory agencies as a business "moat" against competition.

Again, regardless of whether you're team "big government" or team "free market", it seems a vast majority of politically conscientious people ought to be opposed to such revolving doors, corporate capture, and money in politics in general.

It's deeply regrettable that even in a Democracy, positions of power have a tendency to attract people who are drawn to power, who seem to be some of those least inclined to wield it cautiously and responsibly.

I haven't exactly figured out a solution, but I wouldn't be opposed in a strictly conceptual sense (e.g. not agreeing to a specific implementation without considerable discussion / peer review) to restricting voting to

1. People with a stake in the future stability and strength of the whole system (land owners? people who've had children? not sure what the right mechanism here is, but the litmus test is a provably vested interest in the success of the whole system on a long time horizon)

and/or

2. People who are civically engaged enough to even be familiar with the process of government (civics test? I know in the past these have been abused to facilitate discrimination - I just have a hard time believing that our species is incapable of devising a knowledge-based litmus test that isn't being deliberately used to facilitate discrimination).

and/or

3. More mature people: Raising the age of majority in general from 18 to [21-25], including voting age. We know the prefrontal cortex plays an important role in making good, responsible decisions by weighing long term consequences, and it's not done developing until mid-late 20s. That said, it would be a politicized act to change voting age but not lawful firearm ownership age based on this concept, or vice versa. The politically neutral and principal-based solution here is to just raise the age of majority across the board to more accurately reflect our improved understanding of the nature of human brain development.
Pick a better agent and stand your ground. You're making arguably the biggest decision/purchase of your life (along with who to marry and whether to have kids or not). Don't let some schmuck with a bunch of fake trophies who you've met 1 hour ago have ANY control over your offers. They advise only, and handle the paperwork, period.

RE agents have 0 power over you when Zillow and Redfin have 99% of the same data that the agents have.
For a very complex case! That is, a supermarket has thousands of products, prices changing all the time, complex promotions, and potentially orders with 20-50 products in them!
In France, you must always carry a means of identification with you. However, a friend who is able to positively identify you is enough (legally - but obviously police will challenge you).

However, ID is never controlled, and many live with OQTF (Order to leave the French territory).
Pulte Homes took the concept of “Ford Assembly” back in 2004. The most common problem was the large components would not fit on the site on foundation which was slightly out of whack. In stick frame you normally work around the imperfections on-site.

My wife needed more storage, so we got the family iCloud+ subscription. When it came time for me to set up my work laptop, I made a separate account, but added it to my family. That way I can use my purchased apps and subscriptions on my work machine.

Not a perfect solution, but works pretty well for me.
> For a long time I've wanted a variant of this idea in which the exterior walls of the house are separated by a man-sized air gap from the interior walls of the house.

Cue an increase in the number of DIYers and toddlers needing to be rescued after they have somehow managed to fall into the gap e.g. while working / playing in the attic.

Not sure how it would work from an insulation perspective, either.
The internet has exposed us to more points of view than ever before.

The internet has also prioritized stories that get more clicks. Clickable stories have certain characteristics, including easy to understand morality (blame THEM, it's their fault!).

Headlines have trended towards the hate-click and the mystery-click.

If you think it's a good idea to actually engage with ideas, this is bad. Long-form periodicals are built on the premise that it's good to engage with ideas.
1. Make $100 from selling oil.
2. Use the money to buy other local services.

There, now your GDP is just 50% oil.

I see people complaining about instinctive reactions about the usage of the word telemetry, but they're rightly justified in those reactions. People have those instinctive reactions for a very good reason even with this specific proposal. If you read the discussion post, the following becomes clear:

* The proposer has clearly not done any research on how to actually collect anonymous data (they'd never heard of differential privacy for example).

* They want a plug and play solution (they specifically say they don't want to do more work than that)

* They are not open to discussing privacy regulations such as GDPR

* They are not willing to bend on the most contentious points of their proposal

* The system they want to use collects invasive metrics that can be de-anonymized and has only been used by a niche distribution

Because the de-anonymization bit might not be clear, let me summarize some of the things that the Endless OS metrics collect:

* Country

* Location based on IP address to within 1 degree lat/long

* Your specific hardware profile

* Daily report that includes your hardware profile, along with the number of times the check ins have occurred in the past

* Detailed program usage (every start / stop)

* An unspecified series of additional metrics that can be sent from anywhere else on the system via a dbus interface

Additional this proposal wants to explicitly collect:

* What packages and versions of such are installed

* Specific application usage metrics (the example they give is the gnome settings panel)

They discard the IP address, but how hard do you think it is to differentiate users based on the combination of hardware profile, +/- 1 degree of location accuracy, their specific set of packages (and knowing the history of package installs/uninstalls already through their package manager). The proposal doesn't meet its stated intentions of being anonymous, and the proposer actively understands that users don't want this but believe their desire for the metrics overrides the end users desire of not being tracked.
“At least a person (and their employer) wants to get you off the phone; the person because they're sick of being yelled at and coming up with reasons not to escalate, and their employer because they're paying for the time spent.”

Click. Disconnect. Easy. They just disconnect the call when a customer is frustrating them and oftentimes disconnects happen when first reaching a person after sitting on hold for a long time. The other tactic is to transfer the customer around the call center into oblivion.
well that's something I haven't considered.

I wonder if the number would be transferrable to a different service.

I'm using that instead of my own phone number for sites that only offer SMS verification.
> And in those cases it can lead to an increase in temperature, arcing and possibly fire.

Prove that. There is no evidence for that if they are used within spec - and if there was, UL and CSA would immediately pull their listings. There is however, plenty of FUD on the internet about Wagos being dangerous, even though plenty of tests have shown this is not true. For example, this test which showed a five-connector Wago running at maximum of rated limit releases about 1W of heat. A little warm, nothing dangerous.

Also, you should look into how common electrical fires are in Germany if you really want to prove your case. Wago popularity over there is insane. Wire nuts are viewed as archaic and most homeowners don't even know they exist.
Thanks. I didn’t promote it as hard in the circles of music producers yet, so I need to test it out a bit. There’s a lot of user signups that don’t lead to a subscription so I’m going to introduce usage-based billing (buy rendering seconds once, use anytime) and provide cheaper options.

RFK is a controversist loon. If he tells you the sky is blue you should double check.
I started at 2k, saw it didn't do much, eventually went through 4k all the way to 8k, where I was close to acceptable maximum, so I cut it to 4k and then had a few blood tests spread over a year and the results remained almost in the middle of the range.
Seems very difficult to define "safely managed" or even "services" without projecting one society's values onto many others, which is always risky.

This is a problem that dates from when France decided that Algeria was going to be a part of France. They don't just get to throw it away afterwards, no matter how much they would like to. It was a country that made the choice to intertwine its destiny with Algeria forever, and to its great profit.

If opt in renders it useless then I dare question whether modern open source as a mode of development and operation is feasible at all, if the underlying foundation is snooping based on uninformed consent.

Yes, many tools give you an option to opt out nowadays, but then again do you want to learn how to do that dance every single time? It’s almost like we need some kind of… DNT, but for the console.

And even that misses the point: with the German concept of Datensparsamkeit, there shouldn’t be any data collected at all, unless it is absolutely necessary to conduct your business. Popularity contest in Debian comes to mind when talking about informed consent.

The point is not InfluxDB or GA. That just sounds like good guy with a gun/analytics vs. bad guy with a gun/analytics logic. The point is: the combined genius of the computing world, and all we could come up with even after the 100th iteration is “Analytics go brrr”.

We can link wikipedia articles to each other all day. Somehow ethnic French people managed to contain their anger and not burn down majority immigrant neighborhoods after that happened.

The cop who shot Merzouk was also arrested shortly afterwards and will be facing trial, it's not like the act was ignored or swept under the rug.
Webster [1] traces the source of the word “character” to theater where it was used as an emblem of the reputation of someone or a group of people, similar to how you would recognize the brand name engraved into a thing. The interpretation that character is a result of “engraving” through repeated behavior (at the individual level) is fascinating, but doesn’t seems as supported from original usage for centuries.

> All you're doing is making life more miserable for their parents as they have to arrange transportation to increasingly far flung school districts, and for the child as they are ripped away from all their friends every year when they are sent to a new school.

That's not all we're doing. We're also protecting an entire classroom of children from disruptive behavior.

If it's gotten to the point where we would consider expulsion, then some of those children, or their families, likely find that disruption so intolerable that they themselves would need to arrange transportation to far flung school districts. That's why so many underprivileged families are desperate to get their kids into charter schools.

As I keep trying to point out in this comment tree, people seem to have learned that it's morally appropriate to talk about only one type of victim here. I don't agree. I think it's morally necessary to always discuss both the disruptive child and the classroom they are disrupting, always in the same breath.
Well, it worked in the case of my dad's estate.

I think the fact that it was from a lawyer made a difference. I had a different situation with Wells Fargo where I quoted their own document back to them and they still denied me. When I got a lawyer to send essentially the same letter, but with his letterhead, they suddenly bent over backwards to help me out, going above and beyond their obligations.
No, the parent is. Worst case, they can be home schooled.

Despite being treated as such, schools are not day cares, and parents still have some responsibility for the upbringing of their children. If the kid misbehaves enough, it is on the parent.
I’m not a fan of that decision either. But I can understand why they added it first. Otherwise, when you sign up, you have empty feed and it’ll take a long time for you to get enough of content, as others subscribe, you follow them and they start posting.

With this decision they ensured you have content from the day one. Often irrelevant (which is risky), but TBH, I’ve found their algorithm to be ok. I’ll drop it as soon as possible, but for v0, I’m ok with it.
In the end, however, it hardly matters whether it is 46% or 51% percent. The exact wording by the GP may have been inaccurate, but the numbers support the underlying point: sanitation very far from universally accessible.

Also keep in mind that these numbers are based on estimations and definitions that give some room for interpretations, so they cannot be 100% accurate either.

Or mortgages driving up bids, benefitting finance and allowing the wealthy to flip more houses. Almost never mentioned either.
As far as I can tell this article does not directly link to the source for this information. It's unclear if Oracle is pushing for AMD and ARM CPU's but providing Intel CPU's for specific use cases or completely avoiding any new Intel CPU's. I hope Oracle is not short sited enough to stop providing the option for any modern Intel CPU's in there cloud. While I don't run anything that would benefit from Intel CPU's over AMD I'm sure such workloads exist. It would be a shame if Oracle could not support these workloads do to the refusal to buy any new Intel parts and offer then as a niche option.
In my experience, the companies not following these frameworks aren't even _performing_ security.

Everyone here is correct that you need more than just these frameworks/audits to be secure. However, most companies that are secure following these frameworks. If you're secure, these frameworks are a no-brainer to certify against.

Real estate agents didn’t invent Airbnb.

Like it or not, agents serve an important role in real estate transactions by helping guide homebuyers through an incredibly complicated process. And it’s totally possible to be your own buying agent and save money if you’re willing to put in the work.

“You should offer 20% above asking” is the agent giving you advice on how to win the deal, and a good agent will know when offer above or when to come in slightly under and see how open the seller is to negotiating. The agent doesn’t get paid until you buy the property, so they’re motivated to put you in the best position to buy.
> You can say a judge has the authority to exercise discretion, and when they make a ruling they are justified by their position and the process that got them there, but that ignores the greater context of the reasoning behind their rulings. A judge that takes a bribe is ruling from a place of corruption. A judge that rules based on loyalty to a party rather than loyalty to a set of ideals is what separates cargo cult justice, from justice.

I think the Federalist Society is one of the most dangerous organizations in the US. I’m with you on this.

> We have a president who attempted a coup and he is being legally threatened for things that they think they can win, rather than the thing that is the most dangerous and criminal. He isn't being prosecuted for the coup, he's being prosecuted because of the coup. That should be terrifying.

You’re preaching to the choir. It is terrifying, 1/6 was the scariest day in US history in my lifetime and I was alive for 9/11.

> Obama was the first black president and didn't rock the boat. The GOP declared war on America and the democratic party was and is in denial about it. You can be in shock or denial, or be confronted with a new situation you don't know how to handle and that explains what happened without the explanation being "it was justified because there was no action." Trump is clearly criminal and it's taken what, 6 years to see the potential for any consequences at all?

You keep saying ‘justified’ when all I was claiming is that it was ‘not illegal’. There’s a distinction there that you aren’t acknowledging. All I’m claiming is that it was within the letter of the law.

Again, the Obama administration was highly aware of how important getting Merrick Garland seated was, if they thought they had a legal right to force a hearing, they certainly would have. It was his last year in office, no re-election to worry about. They didn’t pursue legal remedies because what the GOP did was legal. It’s patronizing to Obama to claim he didn’t pursue it because he was the first black president.
> 99% of our life we are on autopilot, driven by our habits engaged as response to sensory and internal stimuli.

This is such a critical insight, and over the years it was eye opening to realize gradually how much I judged myself for factors that I clearly cannot control. Which is not to say that I’m helpless, but more interested now in focusing on systemic factors that directly influence automatic behaviors.

Judgement is such a major cultural response to addiction, and also happens to be one of the primary impulses that feeds it. Addicts often turn to their drug of choice to feel relief from the shame…of their addiction to their drug of choice.

Twelve Rules to Orient Thought
Much harder to hide scams and break laws in the physical world where quality actually matters.
You're right. The way that some of the new cruise ships are built is that the rooms (including the bathroom) are each one long "module" that they slide into place for final assembly. This means they can be built offsite on an assembly line, and also when it comes time to renovate, they can swap them out with much less downtime for the ship.
I actually work at Red Hat and IBM are very hands off. I'm quite surprised myself in fact, as I predicted that IBM would absorb Red Hat in one way or another. However you believe whatever you want.
>At the end of the day, the French have no obligation to change their society to accommodate newcomers;

oooh I'm not sure I agree with you here.

A similar scenario (though very much on the micro level) is "the birth of a child doesn't obligate either parent to accommodate the newcomer."

I'm not saying the french need to bend to their every whim, or that the immigrants dont need to adopt the local culture as well. Its a two way street. When you let immigrants in you acknowledge that you're letting change in.
"New development" covers a wide range of development types. Most of the types that are "allowed" to be developed - per regulation, public investment, what does and doesn't trigger the NIMBY predatory instinct - are types that raise "market rates" like low-density SFH and luxury condos.* The government could "radically incentivize" developers to build high-density housing with basic finishes and fewer amenities, to be sold or rented at affordable rates, but that bumps up against https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36632171's impeccably correct observation: prices are high because the people who own the housing stock want them to be high. Inventory influences a fraction of the cost.

*(That is, however far you're convinced that there even is a market; for rent, thanks to "discounts" that allow property owners to avoid actually advertising lower rates, supply and demand don't exist, only the imperative to raise rates annually.)
I'd point out selfishness has different dimensions.

When Chinese people get egoism and selfish behavior pointed out (in contexts where this could happen to soneome of any ethnicity) frequently they'll tell you it is oriented around their family and not their "self". That is a circle of concern bigger than your "self" but can also be an extension of the self and certainly can draw people away from being supportive of the community.
