From personal experience, when the expectation is that you pack it in, and pack it out. You bring less, waste less, and more consciously collect your litter. For likely a number of reasons not explored in depth in the article, it reduced the amount of trash laying around on trails. Not sure people are purposely throwing trash on the ground. It's more likely people are bringing less and taking better care to store away their trash instead of leaving it loose in a pocket to fall out later. Not having to maintain bins in nature areas is a big win for many conservation reasons. This move is a general win the eyes of conservation (reduce and reuse).

The article also didn't go into detail about the specific bathroom changes. They may have changed to a different type of toilet. Again, conservation being the goal. Spending more money is a solution, but better efficiency is likely a better one.
> hard to trademark that

No, because trademarks given by USPTO apply for a specific kind of product or service. It’s never a blanket protection for all situations.

So first on Discord’s website we see info about their company https://discord.com/company-information

Discord Inc.

Discord Inc.

444 De Haro Street

Suite 200

San Francisco, CA 94107

United States of America

And then when we go and search in USPTO we can see the registrations they have for the name “Discord”

For example they have

> Word Mark DISCORD

> Goods and Services IC 045. US 100 101. G & S: Social networking services in the field of gaming. FIRST USE: 20181000. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20181000

> Registration Number 6254199

https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4804:5l...

And they also have

> Word Mark DISCORD

> Goods and Services IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: online game services, namely, providing on-line computer games; organizing community cultural events; organizing community sporting events, organizing educational seminars, workshops, and conferences in the field of communications, online gaming, online communities and social media; providing non-downloadable webinars in the field of communications, online gaming, online communities and social media

> IC 042. US 100 101. G & S: rental of computer game programs and computer game software; online game services, namely, providing temporary use of online non-downloadable game software; providing computer game subscription-based temporary use of non-downloadable game software

https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4804:5l...

And they have another few as well probably. Didn’t read all of them.

With this Discord can protect themselves and their reputation within their own verticals.

Other people can still have a decent chance of being able to register a trademark for an unrelated product or service named “Discord”, as long as it is noticeably unrelated to the existing marks.

So for example maybe I could start a theatre and get a trademark named “Discord” accepted for my theatre.

IIT denial. This is literally simple case of aggregate GDP projection of PRC ~5% > US ~2% that comments in this thread seem to be butt hurt over. PRC with deflation, export pressures, debt, deflation, youth unemployment IS STILL doing significantly better than US because they aren't the existential problems PRC collapcists make them out to be.

PRC isn't an export dependant country at 20% export:GDP (dependant would be 40%+, PRC peak was 32%), while export dropping from historic highs (+1T in export value in last 4 years / +30%, more than 10 years prior to that) aka PRC underwent the largest pulse of globalization in recent history and export is dropping from absurd historic highs - and PRC retaining more % of exports relative to most, while not even relying on it.

PRC national debt is ~75% of GDP vs US ~120%, total aggregate debt PRC ~270% vs US ~760%. It's significantly more managable problem than US, who let's not forget just printed 5 trillion to deficit spend way out of recession.

There's good deflation and bad deflation. Arguable PRC is good deflation, because it's mostly cost of goods coming down due to excess supply from largest global manufacturer having excess inventory.

Youth unemployment = 80%, AKA ~9M graduates getting employed. Many STEM/skilled/technical. That's a absurd amount of new jobs and talent to drive economy. Multiple times more than US. Broad unemployment also ~5%, so it's an issue that literally fixes it self, kids wait, either get jobs they want or end up working ones they don't.

And PRC doing this while _DELIBERATELY_ slapping local govs, and three redlines on real-estate and broadly deleverage. Useful idiots misread PRC responsibly rebalancing economy as PRC economic collapse, and then pikachu face when PRC still grows at 2x US, because all of these are largely managable problems that PRC has economic headroom to manage and still grow at respectable pace.

Well thankfully in my case, cancer treatment in Canada has been both free and quite competent. But for lesser things, you might linger for an intolerable amount of time waiting for care.

I recall getting good, quick care when I worked in the US and had a good HMO.
I don't think it's hard to make this claim hold up at all.
Have you looked at local differences apart from comparing HUGE countries with each other; one of which has an extremely low population density? Since you are mentioning walkable "very similar" infrastructure, how do you quantidy actual walkability?

It takes a single search to find many different studies and meta-studies about correlations between noise, air pollution and mental illness, cardiovascular health, life expectancy and others.

I encourage you to look for studies about a metropolitan area near you:

Car traffic is not harmless. Noise is not harmless.
It's just that those who contribute the most to pollution anr noise usually don't experience it every day for hours on end, or even during their sleep.

If you prefer esoteric subjects to obvious ones, I'd recommend this study:

https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4433/11/5/467

If you are looking for proofs for the obvious (living at a busy road makes you sick), there are plenty of studies about this subject as well.

Cancer rates rise, IQ drops, life expectancy drops, all in clear correlation to your immediate environment.

As a German, also the pedestrian's and cyclist's utopia that Europe is painted as on US media also sickens me.

It's purely a matter of money and inheritance.

Good luck finding a non-toxic place to live in a big city with an average wage and *without owning a car*.

But if you already have a substantial PV setup, and you're within shooting distance of providing power to cover your own use, it may be come worth it to expand (or decrease your use) if you're faced with paying $1536/year (128 * 12) just for being connected to the grid.
The closest I've come to slipping back into clinical depression is when I moved home for a few months to KS where the weather is brutalizing and on top of it, they live in the "country" where civilization is 20 minutes away.

One of my family members is clearly desperate for social outlets. And they thrive and gush over anywhere they travel to that inevitably is walkable and has tangible community.

Idk how people do it.
How would one know if they're affected? I use discord but have no recollection how I signed up .. probably via first search hit (which could be an add)
Not arguing just saying that's how it is now.

Hawaii is a highly limited resource. Simple as that. So you have a choice:

- Develop it more to keep prices a bit down. In exchange you are actively sacrificing what makes it desirable in the first place (beautiful nature).

- Don't develop it further, and accept high prices.

Neither is ideal. I wish we could have 100 Hawaii's and everyone could live in Hawaii.

But out of the two options we have, keeping Hawaii expensive and beautiful is the only one that makes sense. Developing it sacrifices what people like about it anyway.

I also think in general you should listen to what local people want and not advocate for things against their interests. Just as a rule of thumb. The alternative is basically colonization (pushing an agenda against the interests of the people who live somewhere).
'suburb' and 'soulless apartment block' aren't the only choices. It's entirely possible to build denser mixed-use neighborhoods with less car-dependence without making them urban warehouses. THough typically this is not what we build, neighborhoods like that exist here mainly in places where they've grown that way over time.
Swift's proposal with copy on write is the sort of thing I was suggesting to make the borrow checker more ergonomic. It is going to be optional though, which I think takes some of the utility away. I want much stronger safety guarantees in the overall infrastructure than that would provide. Linear types in haskell would provide that, but speaking of some data structures being difficult, Haskell makes largely the same ones problematic. Ada has a borrow checker of sorts, but it makes unchecked_deallocate UB. As long as you don't free memory it doesn't have UB. That isn't a bad trade really, but it still isn't completely impossible to do bad things with access types and they aren't that ergonomic either. I don't know much about the others you mentioned. There is definitely a space for a friendlier enforcement of ownership that makes strong guarantees. But again, the borrow checker isn't my main pain point in rust, its the static strong typing with no duck typing for generics. It makes for nice error messages, but it makes other stuff hard.

"Critical", in my book, means "required in order to accomplish the purported goal of the software". With this definition, your desired feature is in no way essential. It may be annoying or aggravating to you that this feature does not exist (in a similar way that Ctrl+C not working in Emacs is annoying and aggravating to a Windows user), but one can write and edit full orchestral scores with what MuseScore offers out of the box.
I sometimes use software that is incredibly buggy and seems unable to add simple features people have been asking for for years (even though they are promising to implement it).

I obviously can't say exactly what the precise problems with the code base are, but it's rather easy to conclude that it must be a total mess.
Honestly rent control isn't as simple as you specified either. Implying that there are no benefits to rent control for those living in rent controlled units is just as deceptive as claiming that rent control will help everone.

The underhanded "rent would be lower so everyone would pay less" is fundamentally flawed. Certainly you can argue some people pay more due to rent control but we cannot pay more on average unless you decide to ignore that getting rid of rent control would also increase demand while increasing supply.
Fair points, mostly.

Which are valid fears -- C# has become a language with an insanely big surface area, almost comparable to C++'s. This surface area will get rough, unforeseen edges when multiple different features are used together (no matter how generally good C#'s design is), so on the end-user dev it is not even a linear-only weight to learn.

Java is a common butt of jokes among C# devs, but in my opinion its addition of features to the language while committing to backwards compatibility is simply the best in the industry and should be copied by every language pertaining to a similar status (not for research languages obviously, they should be the ones experimenting) -- they seldom add new features, only those that have been proven by others and trying to kill multiple birds with a single stone in each case.

Also, .NET does have a dubious past regarding backwards comp. from what I gathered, "its" frontend churn alone is remarkable, the only thing more spectacular is their renamings.
15 steps to the shopping cart return is a massive sacrifice many are not willing to make. Hah!
That will introduce unnecessary overhead in the basic case. At some level you do want to access the "low level" function (interfacing with Erlang, e.g.) if you really want that sort of dispatch you can write your own polyfunction data type.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30668137

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/441566-hn-avatars-in-396-b...

Description:

The concept is to use HN usernames as the seed into a deterministic avatar generator. This generator is built from the famously simple xorshift32 PRNG, which both provides a random variable for the image generator steps, and "pseudo-hashes" the seed string to provide the initial PRNG state using a non-linear step (adding each codepoint - which is likely not very robust against collisions compared to proper hashing algorithms, but is simple and good enough).

And do away with the username, but still keep an avatar based on their username to make it easier to follow the flow of a thread.
Unfortunately, it has significant costs as well as benefits:

-What makes you think we'll get huge economic growth from building very expensive infrastructure?

-An excellent goal, but we can get this for example with gas turbines which provide cheap, reliable power, or nuclear.

- If renewables provide cheaper electricity, then we don't need to do anything, they'll dominate the market! Although they do provide cheap power when operating, reliable power remains expensive and people want reliable power. Of course this doesn't mean we shouldn't build wind/solar!

- The US has energy independence with fossil fuels now. Its expensive to convert renewables to storable form, whereas fossil fuels can be stockpiled in huge quantities.

The primary negative is cost! To give an example, a recent report estimated solar at $20/MWh, gas at 45, and solar with four hours of storage at 160! That's for electricity, the easiest area to reduce fossil fuels, but only 20% of energy consumption.

Currently, 20% of US power generation comes from coal. Replacing this with gas would halve CO2, as well as providing huge air quality benefits. Just one example of a relatively easy small win that we have available short of green everything.

> 1) A lack of re-investment of positive economic activity into the “common good” (infrastructure, education, social services, etc) that were almost certainly instrumental in creating the environment for that wealth to grow in the first place.

The amount of money spent on those things, adjusted for inflation, has been going up over time in the US. Are we actually under-investing in those things? And how does wealth inequality indicate under-investment?
I've been maintaining a fairly popular (~40k downloads/mo) react component library for about 4 years now. It is a clusterf'ck to keep things up to date with changes over time. React itself has broken things several times.

I knew in advance that this would be a challenge, so when I started the project, I wrote a lot of unit tests. The first test for each component was just a snapshot output of it. Then I had other tests for functionality and have added tests over time for bugs. That has saved my ass so many times.

I don't know how anyone maintains a JS project without comprehensive tests. Actually, I do... as you said, they never upgrade anything.

Isn't an important part of the tractatus pointing out that people get tripped up by "is" having different meanings? I can't remember, it's been a long time.
My understanding is that a particles, like photons, don't have wave shifts. That's an emergent property of many particles
That's not a dubious design choice. It's actually amazing. How would you design a lambda that can be pickled and rerun across time (run on a different invocation of the vm), or space (sent across a network and executed)?
Unless there are separate streets for pedestrians (which is basically non existent in US most of the time), not sure how you can have any city walkable without sidewalks.
Thanks, that's what I suspected.

After writing the grandparent comment I realised some people (in particular distro devs, I suspect) may treat kernel module datasets in a similar fashion, which provides a very similar use case.

I wonder if - zfs dataset mountpoints and snapshot timings aside (both of which are already embedded in zfs) - it could be worth considering adding some zfs dataset properties as hints.

One idea (half-baked) are "zfsbootmenu-boot-significant" = "true" for ZFSBootMenu guesses for adding a default inference of latest/greatest combos. Such a binary flag should elegantly cover both kernel module and portage tree type use cases, by indicating to ZFBootMenu that the dataset in question (and snapshots thereof) provide system-integrity critical system state and should be paired with a root dataset selection. ZFSBootMenu could then make appropriate assumptions around default selections / temporally proximal pairings.

A second idea is a ZFS dataset property "zfsbootmenu-last-successful-boot" = "<datetime>" which combined with snapshot times should provide a useful inference. This could be rolled in to the ZFSBootMenu userland as an rc script updating the property on boot. Additional information such as "zfsbootmenu-last-successful-boot-options" and "zfsbootmenu-last-successful-boot-dataset-<dataset>-snapshot" could then be added. Alternatively or in addition a zfsbootmenu dataset could be added with more detailed log files.

The result should be a cross-distribution (indeed cross-OS) methodology for the autonomous inference and validation of boot configurations involving multiple datasets in all use cases, a plethora of debugging information in a standard location, and even a mechanism to iteratively and autonomously fall back toward a functional boot configuration in the event of problems (which may be further improved using watchdog drivers, ie. if boot does not complete in X minutes, reboot and try another configuration).

As a sign of what you're getting yourself into, though (you knew this was coming though, didn't you?): "The leaked source has a few hundred global variables scattered all over. Many of these are brought in to different source files (using `extern int something;`) and there was little logic to where they were defined."
If that's pretty much everything, then nothing is backwards compatible unless they have the same hash..
For local industry celebrities, like geohot, Jeff Barr, patio11, or select few from https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders, people track what they say, or at least I do, simply from having run across their sometimes prolific comments, and get a sense of their views on things, even if the exact wording gets forgotten. So when they say something out of character, it reflexively seems weird enough to go back and check.

Should I Emabled Enhanced Safe Browsing in Gmail?
Gmail has been asking me - and some people I know - for some time if we want to enable "Enhanced Safe Browsing" to "Get additional protection against phishing". I'm not really clear on what this is - is it something you would enable? I like to use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and typically I advise people who I know to do the same.

RV64GC cores is a really vague definition of the cores.

SiFive U74 21G1 is a way more precise definition. It contains many extensions to mere RV64GC.

And it implements not just the 2019 version of the unprivileged spec but also a version of the privileged one. This is not implied by merely stating "RV64GC".

The specification for SiFive's U74 21G1 version[0] will tell you about the details of the supported extensions.

To save you the work of interpreting the document, I'll tell you it is actually Zba and Zbb, while missing the Zbc and Zbs extensions.

Zbb being the one that has CPOP and related instructions, thus JH7110 has them.

Yeah, too many people dismiss it as “muppets in space” which is so reductive it reflects badly on them imo.

It’s goofy at times but the tone is one of serious irreverence, if that makes sense.

Very much driven by the lead character who seems to be in some ways an audience surrogate going “this is bananas, my life is insane. Can’t take it TOO seriously, or I’ll go mad.”
This seems related to a larger genre of "hectic customer service" games, often involving idiosyncratically demanding customers at a restaurant limited by time and resources.

In fact, several of them have been rather explicit about the idea of humans subordinated into thankless jobs for machines, considering titles like "Sushi For Robots" or "Human Resource Machine".
Stuff like getting rid of parking minimums might help, but making it less convenient to have a car is one part of the solution alternative transit option, it's mostly just going to frustrate all involved.

I think the problem is we already have suburban sprawl. Rezoning and rebuilding the community with mass transit, buses or better yet subways/trams is not cheap. Then you need to get the community that has already invested in their suburban homes, to put their tax money into such public infrastructure.
When I first started writing Elixir, I had no idea how much I would come to love immutable data as a language feature. "functional" can mean so many things, but for me immutable data as part of the runtime (i.e. not bolted on later) is one of the most important things. Never having to ask: did I pass by reference or value? Never having worry about data changing out from underneath you. It's pretty amazing.

Sure there are times that a need for performance calls for mutable data. But for me those times are pretty rare, and when they happen it's usually easy enough to quarantine the mutation.
