Unfortunately you're correct, but in general we can say that about most big companies and wealthy people. Everyone can solve their own problems with money, but they don't want to provide for us, they would rather own us and that's situation similar to the Great Depression in 1929.

What's even worst, all these wealthy people in US can pay 20% or even less tax on their income and how much workers have to pay from their income? There's no way to compete, they have capital that can give them huge gains and they share almost none of it.
And I thought I was the only one to think that.
I get this way of living is personally advantageous but it's pretty shitty right?

Work in the USA, pay lower tax there and get higher salary, fly back to Europe and take advantage of everyone's contributions to get yourself free healthcare while having contributed nothing yourself ?

Everybody knows HS2 will never happen and looking at trains in general maybe it's better that it doesn't. I pay £45 for a return from Biggleswade to London. It's a 45min journey one way, trains rarely come on time and are often slowed down once you pass Stevenage or we have to randomly stop at a red signal. Going back they are often cancelled, almost as a rule they are 10min late when they come and a lot of times they come in 8 carriages instead of 12, so that means standing like a sardine for 45min not being able to breathe normally and when you do you're breathing in someone else's bad breath or afternoon farts. Sometimes going to London if we get stopped at Finsbury Park (because "that's as far as we go sorry") then I have to buy a new ticket to get to Moorgate for example which wouldn't be a problem normally if Moorgate had QR scanners, so instead I have to queue 20min to leave the station, go outside and buy a paper ticket and then go back into the station to get onto the platform. Imagine a train station in central London not having the high-tech that's capable of scanning e-tickets. That's why I can never go to work "on time" but instead have to go an hour early because I never know what's going to happen and leaving work I have to monitor both thetrainline.com and TfL in case a train is cancelled or the Tube is part suspended or heavily delayed. Worst part is I have to pay a small fortune for the privilege.

I would like to mention something else. I recently sold my car and moved to a place close to the train station because "public transport is great, why should I need a car" and it was working great until a few days ago when I was looking to go somewhere for the long weekend. A simple trip from Stevenage which has great train links to a place like Norwich proved impossible. Best trains I could get were one stop and 2h 30min and most had two stops 2h 30min. But those were expensive, between £90 and £130 for a return is a bit much and I got a warning saying due to strikes trains may be cancelled. National Express had no coaches in that direction, taxi was more expensive than trains and there's not a single BigName car hire company that is available in Stevenage and one that I found was not open on Sunday and Bank Holiday so I wouldn't be able to return the car. Had I rented it, it would be £120 for two days with £700 security deposit. With train strikes and ticket prices I didn't want to risk booking a hotel, so I stayed at home because what else am I going to do. Uneless I go to a local supermarket across the road or live in central London, I need a car.

NHS is also public infrastructure but I'd rather not even get into that. I'll just say that I'm convinced the Gov is letting NHS collapse on purpose so that they can pick it apart and privatise it. It's simply impossible that people are actually that incompetent.

I feel that this is the likely reason. There might have been a common sort of bug or mold or other slow-acting form of infestation which they routinely got rid of by “resetting” the building by burning and rebuilding.
Define "underrated". But I'll throw something into the pot.

Riffing off the first item on the list (Roger Miller/Waterhole #3), The Ballad of Cat Ballou (film released after Nat King Cole's death): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ghnpUNTR1I and Idle On Parade (Anthony Newley was a strong influence on David Bowie, and you can really hear it here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qbkKICmO_Q

Dunno if it's underrated (2.7m views), but while Donna Summer's I Feel Love is numinous, Venus Hum's cover with Blue Man Group is just suffused with joy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iFBXjRbVl0

Bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkRDvwsSLKY (album it's on didn't nearly get the attention it deserved, possibly because they were thought of as a novelty act)

Oh, and I did a deep dive into British cinema in the past two years, and the best little-known thing I came back with was Angels One Five (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_One_Five). There's a whole genre of British films that are obviously working out the trauma of WWII (much like America's run of Vietnam War films a couple of decades later), many forgettable, all of their time, but this one's small, quiet, and has an upper lip so stiff you could use it as a ruler. It's Brief Encounter with Spitfires. Standout performance by Jack Hawkins.

I had an fairly extreme version of this. I went to bed one night after feeling defeated because I thought I'd made a fundamental design error and my core data structure was broken and it couldn't do what it needed to do.

I woke up in the morning with a solution in mind and went straight to the keyboard, but the strangest thing is I didn't really consciously know what I was writing, I just started typing as if straight from my subconscious. I was familiar with the code of course but I didn't think about the details of what I was writing. And it actually worked perfectly, basically first time.

It was a very spooky experience.

I'm troubled by this in certain ways. For example, what is a "work"?

Is a "work" a whole body of source code, for example like an application that I write? What if I contributed a series of diffs, without a CLA, and so I hold a copyright to multiple fragments of "works", am I on the hook for $1/apiece?

This hurts anyone who doesn't see revenue or monetize their works. They need to pay just to protect them? What about a person just innocently taking snapshots on their phone, and sharing them to Facebook? They're supposed to know, and shell out, for this tax now? Photos are free, but now it could really add up just to protect your copyright from pirates.

Anyone releasing F/OSS or Creative Commons works, they'd still need to pay up. A freely-licensed work is still copyrighted. GNU GPL? Pay us $1. MIT license? Pay $1. No work too small? Heaven forbid.

Check the TOS on your favorite forums and social media sites. You may retain the copyright to anything you post or comment there. HN doesn't seem to have an assignation of copyright, so is it safe to assume that we retain it?

I myself am a pathological example already: with over 60,000 Wikipedia edits, I hold the copyright to every single one! I licensed them all freely to Wikipedia! Now, I may not much care if they lapsed into the PD, but some of us may, and I don't know anyone willing to pay $60,000/year in taxes, especially for many edits that are negative bytes in length. Wow!
It would be, if Google didn't have a chokehold on most of the internet. Sure, Nebula exists, I can watch three creators there, woohoo. Let me go on Dailymotion too for those sweet 2005 videos.

Google did everything in their power to force themselves into every aspect of our lives and leaving no alternatives, or destroying them, or buying them. Now they get to deal with the consequences

Woke up from those somewhat with a headache, not well rested.

More software developers in the US does not exclude the possibility that there are also more developers in India, actually even more than in the US. My company has a presence in India, and it is noticeable that the company in general is favoring hiring in the India -- entire teams gets built in India, and headcounts are first given to Indian teams and then US teams

Gathering a huge database of biometrics characteristics sampled from many regions of the world to counter one of the strongest arguments against the mass roll-out of biometric surveillance technology: racial biases inherent in the models due to only being able to train on a small part of the world population (e.g. only US, Europe or China).

Licensing this database out could be massively valuable.

Going by current estimates, immigration can plug the demographics gap (by accelerating the problem elsewhere mostly) for a minimum of 100 years, probably 200 and maybe even 300+ depending on growth patterns and economic developments.

So yes, it’s going to be a solution for as long as America has been a country, France as a republic, longer than Germany and Italy united, more than many modern countries have existed. If that’s not a long-term solution, I don’t know what is.

There are no thousand year solutions here. We can only pass the problem to our (many-times) descendants and hope that they figure it out.

About sentry, we've something similar, it's a manual integration with Elasticseach/Kibana, but it's shit. On the other hand, trying to use something like sentry instead, would look bad (it's about politics...)
I don't disagree that there's an aspiration towards larger cars for safety, but only part of that is *because other people are getting bigger cars".

Drive into any UK city today and you'll be sharing the [often quite small] roads with 44 tonne lorries, 18 tonne buses, and LGVs and vans you'd need a ladder to see over. People feel safer in bigger cars in cities because the roads are so unsafe.

To break this spell we have to have hard size limits. No HGVs in cities, permits and height limits for commercial vans in urban residential areas (no vans and trucks as primary vehicles), and nothing bigger than a (wheelchair accessible) Citroën Berlingo on residential streets otherwise.

This won't reduce much traffic but it should make it a lot smaller.
Ask HN: How to convince someone man-made climate change is real?
I have seen a good friend of mine change into a climate-denier. He is intelligent, has a scientific background, but has fallen into the propaganda trap. What are some strong science-based arguments, preferably simple & short to prove mand-made climate change / global warming is real?
It's like paper to me.
Open "Manjaro Settings"->Kernels
"And, reality check, we have no concrete reason, other than sheer technoptimism, for thinking that solutions to any of these problems is imminent."

From the entire history of AI, we have every reason to expect that the basic problem of producing "intelligence" has not been solved.

Generating unreliable "word salad" from ingredients found on the internet obscures and obfuscates "intelligence" more so than producing it.

Canary Wharf is absolutely soulless but it's neither dead or frightening. It will almost certainly be the safest place to live in central London due to the fact that it's private land and you can be expelled from it permanently and the cameras everywhere will help security find you.

I've heard stories of a person who worked at a certain bank getting into a fight for the second time in a bar and then getting banned from CW - they could not go to work anymore.

It is absolutely a place that sets narrow parameters for your behaviour and if you can operate within those parameters there are companies who pay well operating there, clean streets, no visible crime etc.
You might want to look up how increasingly complicated it is to "take the H1B train". There is a lottery process where one has <10% of chance of getting selected in the "general" category. And many companies don't actually have this process of sending you directly to US -- you need to spend years to get a degree from a US institution and find a job just like people from other countries. It is nothing "simple". Do your research.

> Which distro, though?

Linux Mint Vanessa, running the Mate DE.

The program is a C program with a single Makefile. My workflow was (and still is, even on my desktop) using a Vim with three vertical splits:

1. A LHS split which is a terminal to run make and execute the program for testing

2. A RHS split with the program source code (single file program).

3. A middle split with the test input file and test output file (in horizontal splits).

Although it is just a single file, on my other C projects I've used the same laptop, with the same 3-vert-split Vim, with multiple tabs, so up to maybe 16-20 source files open at a time for a single project.

Building C projects is very fast, even on the Core 2 Duo/2GB RAM setup. Running a similar workflow but in VSCode on my desktop is less snappier than Vim on the laptop.

I haven't tried doing a Go project on that laptop yet with VSCode, but I am tempted to see what happens :-)
Does "Open"AI really have a near-monopoly on powerful AI tools these days? It seems like all of these various AI projects are just a wrapper / frontend that calls OpenAI APIs.

It would seem rather pointless to try and block any sort of crawler from crawling your site, if it's already been crawled by someone like the Internet Archive.

I'm completely with you. Generating a data structure using a text templating language is just awkward and error prone. In fact I'm starting to think that text templates are very rarely the best option. It is usually better to have a proper emitter library or AST data structure that can be generated with "real" code.

I guess one of the few places that text templates can provide value is when the template is untrusted. But maybe a sandboxed programming language is still a better option here.
