This is fallacious reasoning. "X would have prevented Y, and Y was a bad outcome, therefore we must do X." You can plug in many things for X which reveal this to be an unsound argument.

Yes, intuitively being able to change headings seems like a good thing except that 1) it adds expense and complexity, and thus produces new potential points of failure and 2) it's not necessary. The problem was not that an altitude change was insufficient, the problem was that two sources of command authority (TCAS and ATC) contradicted each other. The solution is simply to add a new rule: if TCAS and ATC disagree, go with TCAS.

I havent really see Google doing any innovation in about a decade or more? What have they done significant since maps and android over a decade ago?

Apple stomping them in hardware, openai stomping them in AI, AWS stomping them in cloud, Nvidia stomping them on game streaming.

Google has a monopoly on a big ad network at its core and thats not high performing or innovative.
IMHO we're going to look back historically at single-family-detached-suburban-sprawl as not just the fulcrum in destroying the environment, but also actively harmful to the people that live there, especially children. Its easy for it to feel "normal" or even aspirational to us now, but its basically only ~3 generations old, and the first generation raised in suburbs was usually larger families in closer-in suburbs, people that could still walk and bike to more-than-nothing and would be able to interact with extended family and cousins more frequently than just the holiday mega-travel. So really its only the children of baby boomers and their children that have exhibited the full force of the mental health and social development impacts of the extremely isolating environment.

> They should just lower taxes on poor people and increase taxes on rich people.

CPUC can change utility fees statewide, but any statewide tax change would take legislation, and if it includes an increase of any kind, anywhere, would take a supermajority in both houses of the legislature, and changing that would take a Constitutional amendment.

Government can create incentives for the people through taxes, but the people create incentives for government through Constitutional structures.

Of course, once CPUC has the proposed set up, and before it goes into effect, nothing stops the legislature (which is above CPUC), if it can find the votes, from eliminating the income gradated fixed fee portion of the rate, funding utilities the average cost of that out of state funds for all hookups, and adopting appropriate additional taxes to cover it (or any of a variety of other ways of moving the income gradation into the tax system), and while that would be a better way to do things, its better to do it the way proposed than not at all, which is the more likely result of relying on a legislative supermajority.
No, it's not about ions going through the membrane or membrane pemeability. It is not about resistance to ions flow across the 10nm they travel perpendicular to the membrane. Transport of ions across through ion channels are required for the effect but the membrane itself (usually) is not leaking and I'm not talking about changes in leakage.

It is about how the various ions like Na+ and Ca+2 associated with the membrane itself to change the membrane's physical properties. When there's lots of light gas anesthetic dissolved in the lipid membrane keeping the heat capacity low (disordered) it is thermodynamically harder (requires more energy) to form the organized 'solid' (actually more like a gel) state that propagates as the action potential.

Boston and San Francisco are walkable, too, but on a much smaller scale. There are small cities, mainly in the eastern US that are walkable.

I hope the rising popularity of e-bikes makes some lower density cities more navigable without a car. Pretty much all "stroads" should be converted to 2 car lanes and a turning lane in the middle, which would leave room for protected bike lanes.

This seems like it’s due to a triple threat of at least three things:

- Real estate speculation driving up prices

- Lack of new housing being built

- Wage stagnation

Each of those also having multiple underlying causes. And that’s without even getting into things like drug addiction.

I would agree on the main point that either way, having cleaner air, water, etc. has its benefits beyond the veracity of man made climate change. I would disagree that it also causes huge amounts of economic growth and significantly cheaper energy. I think that it generally is more expensive to manufacture things in a more "green" manner and I think it is hard to beat nuclear for price per watt, despite what I hear bandied about in the discussions of Germany shutting down the nuclear reactors.

Yep, I would bet the state revenue service will set up a system that allows the utility company to query income information and go off of that. If they don't already have the customer's SSN they will have to collect that, but I'd guess they already have it (in part so they could run a credit check).

It's been said many times that Go feels like a language written by people who stopped paying attention to programming language research after the 1990s, as well as that it was written by people who look at C and think the only things that are less than perfect about it in the modern world are memory-safety and lack of a first-class concurrency story.

Some examples (not an exhaustive list):

1. Fibers/stackful coroutines (See "Fibers under the magnifying glass" by Gor Nishanov for why they were hugely popular in the 90s and then got abandoned by all the major OSes and programming languages → http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2018/p136...)

2. Garbage collection (The 90s were the height of GC hype, to the point that the JVM still struggles with "Don't worry. GC research will make it fast." design decisions.)

3. Error handling that feels like "Well, we know that exceptions were a mistake, so the only other option is C-style return values... but, hey, we can at least follow 90s Python's lead in supporting returning tuples." (Granted, exceptions DO bake in a fundamental assumption that all the world can be treated as single-threaded execution amenable to transactional rollback. → https://www.lighterra.com/papers/exceptionsharmful/)

4. No generics until they were pushed into it by things like people writing preprocessors that use the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters that look like angle brackets. (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5penft/parallelizing_...)

5. No sum types (Bear in mind that sum types have been around since ALGOL 68 and, on many fronts, C was a step backward that the entire industry copied)

6. Dependency management that was only a hair above "just `git clone` it into your project" for most of Go's lifetime

An example of such a reference would be this quote by rfiat at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31603329

> It's interesting that you find Go to be Rust-adjacent. Setting aside the USPs of each language (goroutines and borrow checker respectively) and just speaking about the general experience of writing code, I find Go painful for all the reasons that I find Rust pleasant.

> The best summary I can give of Rust is that it was designed by people who learned from the mistakes of the programming languages that came before it.
The best summary I can give of Go is to quote Rob Pike's response [0] to a request for syntax highlighting in the Go playground:

dgunay's reply in that same thread ended on the summarization "I like Go and I feel very productive in it, but its commitment to simplicity is dogmatic in many ways and it very much is missing milestone advancements in PLs from the past several decades. It could easily have been made in the 90s."

I think perhaps the effects of a pandemic which killed upwards of 1m Americans may have had a base level of economic impact regardless of the mitigation measures.

Perhaps people forget that things like air travel, restaurants, and going into the office were shutting down naturally in the US even before government recommendations to do so.

And there were actually very few US-wide mandates or anything resembling a government forced “shutting down the country” outside of restrictions on international air travel.

MT has the largest coal reserves. Pretty sure that is target. The problem here like most of these things is the unintended consequences of these policies. Often they are only concerned with stopping the thing they believe is evil with no workable solutions as to what will replace it at all level, either from the energy demand stand point, economic fall out to the local economy, or the various other problems that some with regulatory change instead of market driven or natural change.
It is, and that’s kind of my point. Vile people will use good things, too. I’m not willing to forego having nice things just because people I loathe might also like them.
As the sibling comment explains, the system with the 35-bag has a nonrandom way of adding pieces to the bag when one is removed. But even without that, the size of a bag does make a big difference to what sequences can appear.

Suppose you have a 7-bag system and you draw 35 pieces from it. Each subsequence 0-6, 7-13, 14-20, etc must contain exactly one of each piece. On the other hand, 35 pieces from a 35-bag system have to contain 5 of each piece, but they can be jumbled up. So the sequence could start SSSSSZZZZZ, whereas with the 7-bag system you would have to get at least one I and one T before you could have a second S or Z. In Tetris, as in other games, this totally affects your chances of winning - if it takes longer for the pieces counts to 'average' out, you might have died waiting for an I before they do.

This is a little like the situation with card-counting in blackjack. Going from 1 deck to 6 decks shuffled together doesn't affect the odds for a player who isn't paying attention to the cards. But it makes the job of a card counter way, way harder, and increases the chance that she will run out of money during a long spell of unfavorable cards, before the inevitable regression to the mean eventually happens.

> Python made it through a backwards-incompatible source change.

It made it, but it was a rough few years, and the string model changes while mostly welcome (though not perfect) were a pain, we still find bugs from time to time.

Things also got a lot better once the community figured how to do proper multiversion sources even though it was more limiting.

A statically typed langage would have it a lot easier, by virtue of both the API and the semantics changes being much more flagrant, as well as the compiler making it easier to actually mix different versions of the langage across different packages (or even source files).
Opposition might be based on a consideration that the benefits you cite don't outweigh the actual costs and the opportunity costs. Economic growth for its own sake is not a benefit - that's like saying that jobs are valuable.

Right, and some of your body's cells are experiencing it differently. How... else would your body know to respond?
Our enterprise issued an ultimatum recently requiring no software outside of our MS contract. Which is going to be severely limiting, but painfully doable. This move really seems to be in reaction to the Zoom debacle.

Now we'll be forced to use Teams for online trainings after pretty much universally using Zoom since the pandemic. Our customers are gonna love that.

It's above my pay grade but I wonder if we've already signed our data over to MS for a certain price, with that stipulation.

As somebody who writes a lot of python, I'm going to quibble, but your statement isn't unfair. :)

My quibble would be "don't use lib x". 99% of the time, you don't need an unsupported 3rd party library from 2020. In the worst case, you can copy the subset of lib x that you actually need, the copied code will typically just work, verbatim, in a later python version. In summary, the "common" path travelled by footgun-aware python programmers is not this bad.

But yeah, it'd be nice if the language constraints meant you couldn't end up in a situation like this, and it'd be nice if we didn't have to learn-by-footgun as much in the python community.

TBF, Python is just an old language that comes with early-mover advantages and disadvantages. Like an old house, we have just learned to live with (i.e. avoid) certain floorboards.

I am glad there is a growing enthusiasm for walkable cities in the US. It's something I've become very passionate about lately.

For those that are interested in learning more about the topic, I highly highly recommend the City Nerd youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@CityNerd.

I find a lot of arguments for for walkability tend to be emotional or needlessly hostile towards car owners. City Nerd takes a much more analytical approach and shares the data he uses for his videos, I think that's something most of HackerNews can appreciate.

It could be location based but you are wrong for most areas on planet earth. Many kids went from cd player to ipod because mp3 players were too expensive as a replacement for something you had that already solution for. Convincing your parents you needed more songs was laughable at the time. If anything, more children got mp3 players AFTER the iPod became popular. The excuse for a better product was more palatable due to the iPod's popularity.
