I don't think having the extensions as a part of the file name was a good idea in the first place; I see it more as a practical compromise.

HTTP does not care about extensions in URLs at all, and you can serve any content type (plus information about its encoding) independently of the contents. Early file systems did not have capabilities this advanced, and through decades of backward compatibility we're kind of stuck with .jpg (or is it .jpeg? or .jpe?), .html (or .htm?), or .doc (is this MS Word? or RTF?).
Dude, come on. You can surely see where this line of argument leads. Are you seriously defending a society that continually and arbitrarily raises the barriers to accessing services?

On what criteria are those barriers raised? Those decisions are being outsourced by states -- which (democratic) societies elect to act in their best interests -- to monopolies that have none of those responsibilities. In fact, as your comments illustrate, market pressure and competition provide neat justifications to avoid those responsibilities. They lead to a race to the bottom, not the top.

The real challenge with this is keeping the type of people out who let SF devolve into the feverish nightmare politics it's currently running on.

Any progressive quality-focused community will, over time, be infiltrated by people who's only contribution is subvertering and sabotaging what has been built, usually in the name of egalitarianism or some other veil.

I am going to use this phrase whenever someone from a Western country tries to tell me why Singapore is a 'dystopian totalitarian authoritarian shithole police state'.

Some of these posts (both here, and on Reddit) read like they took a thesaurus and looked for all the words that end with '-ian' or '-itarian'.
> London ... the authentic subway with belligerent drunks, homeless sleeping on the ground and shouting sports fans accosting a woman all in one ride

Interesting that the Economist Intelligence Unit, as I posted nearby, ranked Singapore and London as neighbouring for what regards personal safety.

Some people in HN have described native Singaporeans as remarkably warm-blooded (similarly to your sentence above, though apparently without effect): would you concour with that view?
I couldn't always get an appointment in the US - and this is a common issue with specialists.

At least here in Norway, if I have to wait for something and I'm sick, I get paid time off work. I'll never go bankrupt from medical bills. Taxes plus health insurance premiums was more expensive in the states than payroll taxes here.

There is an actual safety net. I'm unlikely to starve or be homeless for any length of time.

The VAT isn't nearly as bad since it is generally an upfront cost, included in price. Some exceptions apply with online shopping. ¨

Oh, and I'll mention that I can always get an appointment with my GP if I'm sick: They keep some time slots open for urgent things. I might wait a few weeks when it isn't urgent. And I won't lose my job for having appointments.
Wireless charging is so wasteful. We all want to save the planet we should not be wireless charging until we get a much higher efficiency setup.

Fast charging also produces a lot of waste heat. Out phones should know our patterns and for example slow charge overnight. Similar to what Apple started doing with the MacBook where it won't charge to 100% if if knows it will be attached to power.

I spent a ton of time with this book too! It really lays everything out. The feeling of building something like that from absolute scratch was amazing. I can’t get motivated to do that again these days — ready-made, better implementations are too accessible.

I was 13 at the time, so I struggled with the math (this was pre-internet so I couldn’t just search stuff). I’d never seen matrices and wasn’t able to figure them out from that book. I distinctly remember hitting a wall in the chapter on lighting because it mentioned taking the dot product of two vectors, but I didn’t understand why that would give you the cosine of the angle between them because I’d never heard of the dot product before.

Edit: right at the bottom of page 405. I reread that sentence so many times.
>Surely your pocket computer isn't your only computer? Like, you do own a computer with a physical keyboard, right?

This is a risky plan that would either fail woefully or see unprecedented success.

even if your top tax rate is >50% it is difficult for you to actually pay 50% in tax.

For example, in Malmö, Sweden the top tax rate is 52% and starts at 45k, but even at 70k your actual tax load is something like 36%

Not counting VAT of course.
But what killed the chicks? There's no mention of it in the article!

Neither the eggs or penguins require ice... And if there is no ice, the penguins would surely go on to land, eg nearby Rothschild island.

I don't get it - lack of ice doesn't kill things.
In London (both before and after Brexit), getting an appointment with the local GP was a pain and could involve waiting weeks. Also, you could only get appointments by calling at certain times of the day and normally all slots would be allocated within minutes of the phone lines opening.

Sure, you could always go to the emergency room at the hospital and wait hours to be seen, but I don’t think that counts.
What do competitions have to do with learning to code? Also algebra is needed before getting really good at it.
>I live in Austria. I pay 48% on everything above 60k € and 50% above 90k.

While I agree that some taxes are a bit too high and opportunities of building wealth without tax evasion are inexistent in Austria, but your tax percentages don't scan for me.

If I use the online calculator of the chamber of labor, on a 70k/year gross salary, you take home 45k/year NET, so you pay 25k/year in total combined taxes, meaning approx. 36% of your gross income is the tax load on 70k salary. That's not that terrible, seems in line with most developed EU countries more ore less.

The only thing missing is the taxes paid by the employer which also add up and increase the tax load, but are not listed on your payslip, which IMHO is a fault with the system due to this lack of transparency.

However, contrary to the title of this topic, it doesn't make "everyone's wealth go faster" it just supports the lower classes from falling into poverty and crime.

> > GPL.

> […] and no one is going to use it […] in anything resembling a commercial product.

Ignoring the fact that this is demonstrably false, why would it be a problem if it was actually true?

There is nothing to stop a commercial interest writing their own, or licensing something from elsewhere. Depending on the contribution structure for this project (caveat: I've not looked into this at all) it may even be possible to license this project for non-GPL-compliant use. Or, you know, release the resulting project under the GPL.

The GPL is less restrictive than most commercial licensing, so judging it as restrictive because it can be difficult to justify in some (many?) commercial contexts is somewhat hypercritical IMO. Commercial licences can be just as "viral" and depending on the owner inadvertent infection (by using some code without properly verifying is origin & license first) can be more fatal to a project.

Well, it's not like mainstream econ cares about empirical evidences either… Also the track record of Welfare state vs “supply side economics ” is a good one here.

> please use the FaceID/TouchID protected platform authenticators for passwordless authentication.

No, thank you, I don't wear my passwords on my face or my fingers because they need to be secret to serve their purpose. I don't really feel like wearing a balaclava and gloves all the time.

Also sometimes I need to change them (if they get compromised, if computing progress made them easier to bruteforce, etc.), and I don't really want to have to use cosmetic surgery when that happens.

Biometrics are closer to a username than a password in this regard.

> Don't do passwords by memory.

We can agree on this (and the disaster that SMS OTP is due to lousy carrier security mostly), you will still need a password for that password manager usually though. You can have a key based setup but you still need a way to store/remeber that key. So passwords will not die just based on this, they might become less ubiquitous.

It sounds like you want to trivialize a problem that has existed for way longer than computer science and systematically relies at some point on human memory if you want a certain level of security and secrecy.

Obviously if you decrease these requirements, you can get away with weaker authentication mechanisms... but you will not secure whatever that password was securing as well then.

Which is very strange since in Austria as a freelancer you are still required to pay into all the same social systems as a FTE right? Public pension, health insurance etc. In Germany you have the same "Scheinselbstaendigkeit" issue but it's a bit more understandable why the authorities care, considering that as a freelancer you aren't paying into the public pension system.
Hard disagree on that - I would be much better of with a US health insurance were there weren't months of waiting time for treatment.

Sure if I am unemployed I would be better of with the version we have in Denmark, but I won't be unemployed for long. And if I get a disability, I have private insurance for that too, because the public one isn't good enough.

The unemployment insurance portion I pay will pay out something like 1/2 my salary, but because everyone pays the same in I am subsidising those who are much more likely to be unemployed (bricklayers in winter, to make a simple example). Oh and many of those are going to get most of their salary paid out because they are not over the cap.

So to sum up: by having a single system everone pays into you are going to be put together with people who have an entirely different risk profile and you will be better of in a system were you could choose your own insurances.

Then of course I am also subsidicing all the drug users and alcoholics, but thats also an issue in the US, because society has decided that we must.
That's beyond ridiculous. A smartphone is by definition a usability nightmare, it's a purely visual design that presents as a featureless slab to a visually impaired user.

It's great it has some accessibility features to enable such users access to some smartphone specific functions, that they can't have in other ways, such as audio directions. But that doesn't mean we should be actively push this audience to smartphones and destroy actual accesibile designs for things that haven't required a smartphone in the past. let alone berate people for failing to get on with the times and embrace the clearly inferior "evolution".
Less than 1% of the UK population earns above £120k. It think GPs qualifier:

covers that situation. Simply put, only a small minority of people in the UK pay that much tax.

Not to mention the classic error you’ve made

> hit 45%+ tax take.

that tax take only applies to persons income that’s above 120k. The actual total tax burden across their income is substantially lower, given everything below £120k is taxed at a much lower rate.
How much traveling have you done overseas? I've been to a handful of countries and have never had reason to be afraid. No one I know who's travelled overseas has has been hurt or robbed or anything like that either. To my knowledge none of them hid their Americanness.

People told me I needed to wrap my luggage in seran wrap when I went to the Philippines so that corrupt customs officials wouldn't put contraband in my bag. The airline workers had to hold back a laugh at my naivete when they checked my wrapped luggage.

To be fair I did see political graffiti from communist rebels who occasionally kidnap people for ransom, but it was obvious on sight that I was American - which prompted people in the street to try and sell me beautiful craft work, not to kidnap me.

> everyone (yes, I know, there are exceptions, that's not the point) pays their share into health insurance

Everyone pays their fair share based on income from working, but not from their wealth, assets, dividends, interest, etc in many places.

If your "income" comes from those sources, you aren't paying your fair share compared to people who must work to eat.

Much easier to keep it to just zh-CN and zh-TW(recently renamed zh-Hans and zh-Hant) with zh-CN completely double defined with ja-JP, and kr-KR dealt as footnotes on ja-JP, which is what they did.

Ah yes, an iPhone works so the problem is solved, despite the fact that iPhones are a minority of devices out there and in most places they are luxury devices. Android is nowhere near as good when it comes to accessibility and that's what majority of devices are.

>>Do you also complain that you can’t use Uber without a cellphone?

I do actually, it's one of the major problems with Uber in my opinion, and that's why a lot of people still stick to local taxi companies that you can just call. But Uber is generally completely shit for accessibility, where law forces local taxis to be accessible Uber usually does their usual bullshit of skirting these regulations and saying absolutely crazy things like "if there is demand for wheelchair accessible taxis then the market will respond".

>>But are less forgiving for those who won’t

Sorry to break it to you, but if you're serious about privacy, using card to buy bitcoin just to make your transaction private defeats your point and coinjoin isn't private either and can be traced.

True. And I agree it seems like bullshit. Now consider the entirety of economics.
Let’s assume what you’re saying was true: doing less is better. Well just mechanically, a “evil” society that does more will attract more labor and capital than one that doesn’t. Any area of competition except “goodness” will be won by the evil country, such as space races, weapons development, and new technologies. That means the society which chooses to do less will be culturally, technologically, and militarily at the whims of the evil society. So the power dynamic will definitionally belong to the doing more society at the expense of the doing less one, and in the final state the goal of goodness by doing less has failed. This is a contradiction disproving the assumption .

Those list make me wish data were expressed outside aggregates, in forms that quantitatively specify proper odds, and qualitatively display reasons that justify data. It is again like being shown dumb aggregates.

Check the post from Gmerc nearby - the notes about London about apparent unorderly behaviour and similar amount of monitoring -, and London being ranked near Singapore.

Of Barcelona, somebody on these pages (as I remember) posted about criminals cutting tyres of cars at semaphores to rob the driver. Others swear it is one of the safest places in the world. Official USA (as I remember) indications for travellers talk about a hive of scammers and petty thieves. This makes one wish for proper stats indicating rates of events, and reasoned data.
