> All we have to do is control the government and the industry that we're complaining about, and we can win? They already have that.

Nobody controls all of the industry or all of the government. Half the people on this site work in the industry, often in prominent companies in a position of influence. Many of them own a major stake in a prominent startup, or operate a community with a large number of users.

Legislators care about whatever they think voters care about, and use voters calling them as a proxy for this. Don't pretend this doesn't matter.

> They are being paid to push in the opposite direction. You are paying to try to defeat them. Each of their victories brings them more money and influence, each of yours means you have to reset and construct an entirely new argument to defeat the same thing again, differently worded. The outcome is obvious.

Every time they do something like this, another person gets pissed off enough to extricate the perpetrator's services from their life even if it means re-implementing some of them themselves, and then post what they used to do it on Github. Which makes it easier for the next person to do it.

Some of them even find a way to make a business out of it and make money. I know it's not a popular belief, but it's actually possible to build a sustainable business by giving customers what they want for a fair price and not screwing them over -- businesses may find that customers even prefer this.

We're not all connecting to AOL using AT&T Unix(R) on Itanium. Why not? Those companies had real power. How did they lose?

> This is a "why didn't the slaves all get together and end slavery" type argument.

Your argument is what, that no one should make any attempt to end slavery because the slavers have too much power?

No, you keep fighting until you win. Be creative, coordinate with like-minded people. This is not a community of powerless victims. There are people who hate this who have money and skill in surplus. It's not illegal to do something which is net negative for you but net positive for society purely out of altruism, or anger, because it's your life and you get to choose what you do.

Reallocate the time you spend advocating defeatism to building something which is a threat to the people attacking you.
Well, it's complicated as I'm not doing multiprocessing with Numpy, actually :)

One part of my program uses Numpy, and the other part does multiprocessing. But Python's multiprocessing module causes interference between them (which took quite some time and effort to figure out).
Seems to me only after Galileo introduced the idea that we could use mathematics to predict physical outcomes could modern engineering take hold.
If you're from a 'first world' country and are used to good quality tap water then absolutely not. Otherwise ymmv, but I would not drink it without cooking. I've spent some time in Colombia and just used bottled water because it was cheap and I didn't want to risk getting ill. Note that 'bottled water' doesn't guarantee much of anything but it should be safer than what comes out of the tap, especially in rural areas.
This is why Risc-V being developed in China and other countries and exported elsewhere is ironically a good thing at the base-level of computing. The chinese computers will require China's bugs, whereas exported good will NOT have it, otherwise it won't be bought.

So sad, it seemed like such a good article, and then the inevitable, completely evidence-free and wishfully supernatural assertion:

In April, researchers at Microsoft published a paper arguing that GPT-4 showed early, tantalizing hints of artificial general intelligence—the ability to think in a sophisticated, human-like way.

> Twitter is raw, edgy and toxic. It's also known for its real-time coverage of events, which Threads so far lacks.

Yeah, for the "chronically online". But twitter is also celebs and brands, and the "normals" following them. I think for those Threads will find an audience. It will be... Twitter, but for Instagram.

Twitter has always had an outside impact compared to it's actual userbase, mainly due to nailing the news media + politics segment. Threads could fail to pick up the same cultural impact, but still be a thriving business/website, especially if brands and advertisers prefer it over Twitter.
You should cite sources, Roman concrete is nowhere near what you make of it here in reality.

> If Rome hadn’t collapsed, they might, within a matter of centuries, have advanced to the stage of industrialization. But they would have done it by skipping the Dark Ages

The very notion of "the Dark Ages" has long been debunked. It's a myth. The Roman Empire collapsed, but other nations rose in it's place and technological progress continued throughout.

Your option A involved incorporating a Canadian company and moving to the US. My comment was on your option A. It is extremely painful to own a Canadian company and have USA tax filing obligations. If you absolutely must do this, make sure your company’s fiscal year falls on the calendar year boundary. I found the reporting onerous and chose to stay in Canada.
I wonder if any special care was required to cut a subfossilized 5000 year old piece of wood - does it get appreciably harder over time? Or was that not long enough?

Also interesting that they had to dry it out and the planks shrank by half. I wonder if they considered having to replace the liquid with something else, such as was done with the Vasa ship which was submerged for a few hundred years.
Even if you're right, this is an unprofitable direction for an HN thread to go in. We want curious conversation here, so we have to minimize ideological battle because the two are basically incompatible - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23959679 for a long past explanation about this.

Yes, because China has double the population as the whole of Europe. Ceasing operations in the UK wouldn't hurt their revenue as much as doing so in China.

The only place I do this anymore in hotel rooms, although I'm usually foiled by how horribly slow this experience has become. I've stayed in hotels where it's up to 5 seconds between channels. This was a real sacrifice in the move to Digital Cable (although I recognize hotels have their own reasons for being extra extra slow).
Because the protocol isn't the issue.

Lately, it's been surreptitiously fingerprinting or exploiting their Firefox fork, timing attacks (if you can see metadata all of the packets in the country or world, they can take as many hops as you choose, someone and or something can still easily line them up),

or other op-sec screwups (controversial, because what is reporterd as fatal OpSec flaws can just as easily be parallel construction finding something that would look or sound blatantly obvious in retrospect).
Even my grandma's TV from the 80's had instant buttons to switch between channels but no TV remote. And, yet, the tuning was on the spot. No delays. Zero. Literally.
Something else I was caught out on recently is cross availability zone traffic, especially for multi AZ kubernetes where the nodes are very chatty. It's possible to get the services to consider network topology to limit cross az traffic, but it's not the default.
> Separately, I strongly suspect that your idea of worldcoin's "stated purpose" is not something they have ever stated.

I encourage you to read their whitepaper, where they state that world id is indeed a proof of personhood. The allegation in this thread is that it fails at proving that someone is a unique person, and it cannot possibly due so because of the oracle problem. Therefore it is a scam.

My personal favorites on his blog are the series on how people produced Bread, Clothing, and Iron in the premodern world. The depth there is amazing, going into all the raw materials and different skills and processes required to support agriculture, textile production, and metallurgy. It really gives you a deep sense of the material conditions that shaped life in the past, and how alien pre-modern economic existence would be to 21st century folks (clothing and food were really really expensive, like one new set of clothes a year expensive, whereas housing costs were proportionally low). Highly recommended.
He's talking about those yellow stars Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany. Please tell me you at least remember what happened after that.
Only the west half. The Roman Empire ceased to exist a thousand years later, when Constantinople fell.
I don’t understand the idea that the industrial revolution was any more critical than any other leap forward in our understanding.

The industrial revolution only existed because of successive progress.
Maybe everyone sees this differently? Or maybe is more than one viewpoint to it.

For example, if someone tells me that something is "actually really simple", and I did not get it yet, I tend to think that I likely (not certainly, but likely) have not found the right approach to that something yet, and once I found that way to look at it, things will resolve itself.

But if people assure me that something is "hard to learn" or "hard to get", I'm rather suspecting that that thing is full of unwieldy complexity and/or unintuitive aspects, and unless I'm either up for the challenge (definitely the case sometimes), or learning it is crucial for achieving a certain goal (in which case it may turn out to be fun after all, even if still hard), I might think twice if I want to put the time and energy into it.

In the case of DNS, which I've learned in the nineties, I found the principle simple and elegant, the tools and software unwieldy and sometimes arcane, and a large multitude of little details that are not strictly necessary for understanding and using DNS in basic ways, but that can get important when either debugging or working at scale.

So, in the case of DNS, I'd say the answer is "depends on how deep you want to go", but don't shy away from the simple and elegant principle, even if the arcane software (it has gotten better, though) stands in the way.

I think that matches the content of your article overall?
Why do you resent that your money went to a company who put a good device in your hand? I'd resent giving money to a company who can't be bothered to make a device that makes me happy.
The concept that Roman Concrete was somehow better is a strange idea.

First: 99% of Roman concrete has long since turned to dust. Through no intent of it's creators, that stuff did not last.

But the 1% that did last has two important qualities: it's incredibly thick, overbuilt; and through some fluke of chemistry, they unintentionally built it with some input chemicals that actually helped it be stronger.

But it wasn't intentional and it isn't some kind of magic.
Nobody pays attention to the phone I have. I am not some teenager sitting at the lunch table with her friends blabbing about phones. To suggest I have iPhone because of status seeking is just ridiculous. Most grown ups don’t care what other grown ups think of their phone. It isn’t 1996.
Anchovies. There are many pizza joints who only have anchovies as an optional extra, with not a single one of their 'standard' pizzas having them.

If the UK implemented something like The Great Firewall of China, it would be a gigantic statement about the country's future ideological direction (arguably started and in line with Brexit), and may actually be enough to cause protests large enough to make a difference.

Space junk at that altitude does turn into debris, but it tends to deorbit on its own in around 5-10 years.

The real danger is space junk that's at much higher altitudes. OneWeb and Telesat Lightspeed (in planning) operate at 1000+ km, where space junk will take 1000+ years to deorbit on its own. And OneWeb has already had a satellite failure where it can't deorbit the satellite.
Its always been my understanding that recovered timbers need some sort of fluid replacement. The Mary Rose had 19years of being sprayed with PEG.

It does in China, but maybe the market is too small??
I don’t have references for this, but my understanding is that you have more to worry about space debris that is higher/faster than lower/slower. The atmospheric drag is such that any out of control craft at [some threshold] or under will deorbit themselves fairly quickly, and the debris will burn up entirely. I believe that threshold is around 450-500km, but it’s also probably not a literal height, more of a gradient of risk. Higher/faster, they will be up there for longer (years? decades?) and it’s harder to predict where any broken pieces will go over time.
> Well, your discomfort makes it clear you’re not American poor. Verbal confrontations, even disagreements led along insults, are enough to get shot where I’m from.

Okay that is a very weird response.

I feel like I need to state that shooting someone over a verbal disagreement is obviously wrong and obviously would be inappropriate and would obviously reflect negatively on the moral standards and character of the person doing the shooting, and it would obviously be appropriate to view someone who was willing to shoot someone over a passing insult negatively or at the very least to say they may have some issues.

And I don't like the vague insinuation here that lower-income Americans are inherently violent or that crime/violence within lower-income communities is culturally motivated.

> My point is that the internet is already an extremely private place.

Saying that you don't see a set of privacy violations as relevant or worth caring about is a lot different than saying that the Internet is private. The Internet is not private and you're not denying in any of these threads that the privacy violations people are bringing up exist -- you're saying they don't matter and that the Internet is private enough. Be careful not to confuse your personal standards about how private the Internet should be with more neutral descriptions about what risks do or don't exist online.

> and that’s stupid and insulting.

Be careful, I've been told that's apparently fighting words ;)

When my legit wife and I went to the green card interview, the examiner decided she didn't like my attitude. I'm assuming that's what tied up the case for 7 years. I think they forced a redo of the application three times with all updated documents. Seemed punitive and capricious.

Question: is our experience unique? Was it a mistake to hire a lawyer from the get go? We had friends who sailed through without an attorney in months.
Hopefully he'd include an entire chapter on why he and HN failed so spectacularly at pretty much every turn during the pandemic, especially when it came to the lab leak theory discussions.
There is the theory that in China and India labour was too cheap to encourage development of artificial sources of energy.

Perhaps related: Amazon and the size of its firefighting team, and more recently Microsoft and its army of lawyers. Why invest in the advancement of distributed computing when you can just plug holes with armies of engineers, and why invest in computer security when you can flood the media with bullshit and discourage lawsuits with the size of your war chest?
Poor people have more kids. Look at developing countries especially. Low fertility is a problem of the affluent. That's part of why I say I think it's cultural, it's seen as such a negative (including as a financial burden) instead of as a positive thing to be aspired to, at least that's what's pushed on younger people.
Surprising seeing this! I lived very close to here for eight years.

Your 80 year old mom follows Insta influencers? Cool mom, but probably not representative.
After 180 days you're deemed to be seeking a new admission under INA 101(a)(13)(C) which means you're subject to the grounds of inadmissibility on that basis alone. [1] And after 1 year away, it's not a "you should get a REP" it's a "you definitely have to unless you have a medical reason for not being able to come back sooner because they won't let you in without a returning resident visa."

> A permanent resident (called lawful permanent resident or LPR) or conditional resident (CR) who has remained outside the United States for longer than one year, or beyond the validity period of a Re-entry Permit, will require a new immigrant visa to enter the United States and resume permanent residence. A provision exists under U.S. visa law for the issuance of a returning resident special immigrant visa to an LPR who remained outside the United States due to circumstances beyond his/her control. [2]

More than 6 months interrupts your continuous residency for citizenship purposes unless can defend your continued residency during that period, and I am led to believe a REP helps.

Personally I'd err on the side of caution and say if you're regularly away for long periods or if you plan to be away for more than 6 months, it's probably worth the REP. I think any extended or regular absences should probably be regarded with a little more weight than 'it's fine' although most people probably do. If I were gone for more than 6 months I'd expect a pretty significant grilling.
