I don't think voting is related. There are some subreddits that do have quality content, but this requires a substantial moderation effort. The *chan sites are even worse than Reddit, and there's no user voting AFAIK. Slashdot had a voting system before Reddit, and the discussion there is mostly civilized. Usenet didn't have a voting system, and the discussions were civilized before Eternal September, when users generally followed a netiquette. HN itself has limited voting and civilized discussion, but the site could get overrun at any point if the userbase grows rapidly, and new users decide not to follow the rules. There have been Reddit-type comments here for a few years now, and it seems to be increasing.

So it's a matter of community morals and values, and laborious moderation efforts to sustain it. Once the community grows large enough, moderating content becomes unmanageable. All large social media sites struggle with this, as they literally can't keep up with the amount of content. This is a scale problem that is unique to the internet.
That's true of literally everything and yet we have figured out in other spheres how to have fair dealings, and have things like leases, and insurance, and other fair ways of working together when dealing with things owned by other people. As people build businesses on these platforms it is completely necessary that standards and duties between these parties be formalized, predictable, and non-capricious.
Nowhere in those Wikipedia articles (or in anything else I’ve read on logical fallacies) is there any support for the idea that secondhand information is more valuable than firsthand information. I’m honestly curious why you think your opinions on childbirth are so valuable that they’re worth posting on Hacker News. Are you a researcher? An obstetrician? Because what it looks like to me is a JavaScript programmer who’s never written Rust giving their opinions on the borrow checker. I don’t deny them the right to have opinions on the borrow checker. I do question whether those opinions add anything to the conversation on this site.

Reminds me of this Dilbert cartoon (https://buffer.com/resources/content/images/wp-content/uploa...):

Dilbert: My company asked all employees to act as salespeople to friends and family. I think you could use this, Mom.

Dilbert's Mom: Why would I need a primary rate circuit? I've already got a frame relay drop to my web server in the sewing room.

Dilbert [thinking]: This is going to be a tough sale.

Dilbert's Mom: Hello-o-o! Earth to Dilbert! This is packet data!
H1Bs are not citizens, unlike naturalized immigrants. They are effectively "indentured servants" of the company that sponsored them, and have a gruelling 10-20 yr application process to gain full citizenship.

The fact that you don't know this is exactly what the OP was referring to, since most US natural born citizens don't know about it much.
Such a law would create the perfect environment for police brutality.

It's weird you simultaneously say "its a woman's prerogative to decide not to be a wife or a mother" but also describe them as "...who listen to propaganda.." or "...the prevailing winds should whisper into a woman's ear...". Does she get to make her own decisions, fully educated on what is right for her, or does she not?

I never said pregnancy is a disease, or that motherhood is a drag. I said I've spoken with mothers who have said motherhood should be uncoerced. I said I know women who have chosen not to have children and have needed to escape verbal abuse from people who pressure them, and I hope the ability to have children without a woman involved will societally lessen the pressure women have to be mothers. I want the only people who are mothers are people who want to be mothers, not people who feel that just because they are a woman they must also become a mother. This leads to really painful, desperately sad places psychologically for women who are infertile, have miscarriages, or lose their fertility through the natural aging process.

Given the rampant corporate theft by Chinese nationals linked to the CCP prosecution is low to nonexistent. Far from a witch hunt
How would a US citizen be treated trying to immigrate to China?
It already has GPS and an internet connection. Easy to steal, yes, but also trivial to find.
It does start to happen in other countries, not so much in Europe, but students are starting to be sent to China to study. And Chinese universities are competing for international students. Language barriers is what really prevents it from happening at scale.
It won’t take many steps when the government monitors all communications and has cameras nearly everywhere.
In my experience, it seems every tech company around has let their office lease expire. We have been pushing for a while to get a coworking space for ages but management refuses because it costs money they don’t have to spend. Pretty depressing but I’m having a hard time finding any job listing that has an office available.
I really hope doctors and a lot of the “crap” involved in the healthcare system is automated away.

it is a competition, so it doesn't matter if it was china getting better, or the US becoming worse. The end result is the same.

Sure but the added cost is not a big factor when you're making a handful of them.. If you're making tens of thousands though? Then it begins to add up.
how is it "a demeaning and torturous process", above and beyond dealing with any faceless bureaucracy (i.e. dealing with the DMV, IRS, or even airline lost baggage departments, or your local cable company)?

"you get treated like second class human beings and are forced to fight and prove you deserve something others were simply born with." isn't this effectively the situation with immigrating to any desirable country (and even some undesirable ones)?

Back in the day (the 80's) when I was a young broth-of-a-boy junior engineer we used both Kermit and BLAST[0] to move files between Data General mini's and a bunch of destinations running CP/M, PC/MS-DOS, CP/N, BBC Micros and all sorts. Good times.

The US was a lot of things. It still is on some fronts, but others have seen decline.

Your experience was certainly true. It is why so many are trying to come here. But things have changed and the experience is not what it used to be. If you think it was difficult before, think about how it has to be now for people to choose to go back instead of persevering. The trend is clear. Things changed. The US can either fix it and remain competitive by hoarding talents. Or it will continue to deteriorate.

There are always warning signs. Immigration laws has been called antiquated and desperately in need of reform for a long time. Your sentiment of "it was good in my time" is how hegemons like Britain fell.
You’re looking at free intel provided to China/Russia etc about US next generation weapons capabilities!

No, the Motorola 6820 simply provides two I/O ports. The Intel 8089 is a complete processor with its own instruction set, acting as an intelligent DMA controller. So you can run complex programs on the 8089 to process the I/O data. The model is kind of like the I/O channels in an IBM mainframe; you're offloading I/O tasks from the main processor to a special I/O processor.

That would certainly solve the password issue. And if a sufficiently paranoid person is aware of this attack vector, they could just manually mute the mic at any time they are typing in any sensitive information. I initially was thinking that using a Dvorak or even better custom layout would help, but upon further reflection I think not -- the first-pass output would be equivalent to a substitution cipher, and quickly solved as such.

This topic has me wondering though if it's possible to detect finger positioning or for that matter screen information from the reflection off the typist's eyeballs/eyeglasses shown in a webcam, or perhaps even if possible in principle, in practice most webcam resolution is simply too poor for that.
Now the leaks are just getting ridiculous.
This is not true for all H1B visa holders. I know many who have obtained their permanent residency after a few years. This is not in the IT field though but medical field.
> It’s time we stopped pretending that WFH is appropriate for everyone. It needs to be selectively applied if we don’t want the abusers to become bad apples that ruin the whole concept.

I don’t think that’s a conversation anyone is ready to have. People (online) either dogmatically believe WFH is perfect and without issue and anything by bad is someone/something else’s fault, or is exactly what’s in the first quote in the article (e.g. it’s completely awful and everyone is a lazy slacker if I can’t look over their shoulder).

I keep wondering what it’s going to take to have a real conversation about how, for instance, WFH is terrible for my data team, but fantastic for my engineers and that that’s ok and not, on either side, an organizational or leadership failure. Judging by this post, it won’t be any time soon.
I have a colleague from China who originally tried to move to the US. He became so disillusioned by the process that he gave up and tried Japan instead, as it provides a similar level of freedom. Within 3 years of just working a regular software job and studying the language, he got permanent residency. A lawyer did all of the heavy lifting. Just an anecdote, but maybe an example of the US losing talent to its insane immigration system.
Spelling does reflect pronunciation. The attempt to standardize spelling is rather new, though. It's actually more surprising that there should be canonical spellings when the pronunciation itself varies between speakers and dialects, and it changes over time.
The only time I think I'll ever see a pi compared to a jet, hah!
I can understand some of it given some notable examples of IP theft by China, but it’s absolutely bonkers when even people from allied countries like South Korea are part of the witch hunt unless members of the justice department can’t differentiate Asians from different countries.
Show HN: Urban Stats
This is a project one of my friends has been working on for a while. The goal is to aggregate data from the U.S. census and some other sources across basically any sort of region/administrative boundary/district/statistical area one could imagine in the United States. This is comparable to (and created somewhat out of frustration with) the U.S. Census's Quickfacts, but with way more types of regions and types of statistics.

Please let us know if you have any suggestions for types of regions to add, or for other statistics to add (or anything else that might be an improvement).

So if he has broken a law why is he not being charged? What happened to due process? If they are not charging him it has at least not been determined by law that he has broken the law, in fact he has not even been formally accused of it. Still he is being punished with $30,000.

I wonder how you would react if the police would take e.g. your car under the pretence of "we think you might have been speeding" and after six month you still have not have your car returned, or been actually fined (or taken to court for speeding). But the only comment on a forum is "well he should have been speeding".
> GPS, authentication (unlock via app/bluetooth/...), ride logging, debug data. And at that point an ESP32 or heaven forbid an Arduino won't cut it either

Why? ATMega board is surely a questionable fit, but ESP32, or nRF52, or some STM32 board with Bluetooth all should be fully capable of doing the basics. I can't imagine those scooters do some fancy signal processing on-board or handle some particularly heavy traffic. ESP32 is capable of wrapping and transmitting a decent video stream (and even do some basic detection while it's at it) - surely it's much more data than some route information and various on-board telemetry. GPS and cellular are just talking over some bus to a module (pretty much the same as with rPI4), Bluetooth is available and not resource-expensive at all. So is talking to whatever relays run or block the motors - I imagine that's probably just a bunch of GPIOs. All that remains is need for some RAM to store/buffer the traces (ESP32, or one can throw in some external storage) and a basic TLS and MQTT implementation (or whatever tech would make most sense there) for the command and status message queue.

And most importantly, average ESP32 energy consumption is way smaller than rPI4's (it's pretty hot even when it idles). While I understand that scooters have large batteries, it still matters.
No, but the issue is assuming anyone wants to hear what you think about it. The pile of shit in the authors life are people who claim to be too busy. He's just saying he doesn't like it.

So you're the same.
> That SoCal people refer, and refer often, to freeways by number is the basis of the SNL skit “The Californians”[0].

Those skits aren't about the number, they're about the word "the."

Elsewhere in the country, where the freeways were built later and didn't have as many old established pre-number names, people talk like "Take 75 and then go west on 285 to [whatever exit]. And surface street names, SoCal or elsewhere, rarely have "the" anywhere (nobody would say "go to The Sunset Avenue"); it's a specific history-of-freeways-in-Socal thing.

A foreigner not knowing local street names seems completely unrelated to numbers-vs-word-names or "the".

The word "narcissism" has been weaponized as a form of slandering whoever you're after. It's closer to a new variant of "creepy," but now with 200% more Science™ behind it.

The word "burnout," hasn't suffered the same unfortunate fate, although there are those of us who are waiting for competition to declare that they have burned out so we can take their share of the profits etc. It's more of a self-inflicted wound.
Doesn't matter. Those who already disagree with you will pretend to not understand speaking in generalities because it's convenient for them. Obviously you said what you said in the context of reproduction.

You’re content to listen to what we tell you? Great. Then let me tell you, as a mother of two, that bearing children is not “the most sublime fulfillment” of my biological “design” or my “destiny.” I love my children to pieces. Being a parent is the best thing I have ever done with my life. But if I could have done it without the trauma of pregnancy and childbirth, I’d have a bigger family. I mourn the children I didn’t get to have because my body couldn’t do it. If my granddaughters get to skip some or all of that, I’ll be thrilled for them.

Some mothers find pregnancy and childbirth to be a deep, sublime, spiritual experience, the best thing they’ve ever done. Some mothers are miserable every minute of it: sick, traumatized, afraid. You do not have the right to speak for all of us when you’re quoting just those of us whose experience reinforces your opinions about how the world should work.
Don't worry, people made the same arguments for /every/ advancement in birth and childcare from Anesthesia to Velcro on nappies.
I consider those people to be on the "I want to work in an office" side.

Companies with RTO policies still usually give the option to work from home a couple days a week, right? Just not every day. You still need to live within commuting distance of an office, which is a pretty big restriction.
I suspect both of those are external module/boards plugged to the rPI. It doesn't require a degree in electronics or software engineering to unplug all connectors from the board and move the scooter away from its last location. Or, you know, just disconnect the battery.

I've no idea about those scooters, but I won't be surprised if it's all behind some plastic panel held by few screws.

> or incredibly remote

Ah, now you're understanding why US cities are so sprawled. Those SFH's are remote, and a good chunk of the people living there want it that way. Those people want a large yard away from a large city while still having things like some stores and a large airport within an hour or so. These people reject the thought of living in a place like New York or Amsterdam or London or other dense cities. They actively vote against expansion or creation of public transit options.

I know there's a lot of media online about people being anti-suburbia, and yeah that's a growing percentage of America. But there's still a massive chunk of the population that will continue to just move out further from the city as you densify or actively fight densification.

As I suggested, those zoning laws aren't writing themselves. They're not being handed down by some far away dictator. They're being written and continued by popularity elected local politicians. Democracy at work.

I've absolutely seen densification efforts massively fought by the people who currently live there. I know people who purposefully moved further out from the city. I've seen neighborhood after neighborhood that seem like nightmares to me get built way out in the middle of nowhere with people clamoring to buy into them even if there are similar purchase-price denser options further in the city. Because, they want a large yard, they want a three car garage, they want five bedrooms and a study and a theater room and a wine humidor closet.

Which buying way out there, it's cheap to have some massive house because the $/sqft for just the lot alone is massively higher in the city. A massive chunk of the value of the home in a city is the land it's on not the structure itself, unless it's a really fancy structure.
