I live in South Texas and the heat this year really broke me. And we're not exactly that far into the climate change experience. I feel like if you don't live in the heat, then it's a lot easier to dismiss it. And globally speaking, carbon emissions only ever increase. I don't disagree that there are potential engineering solutions and the advancement of green energy has been quite impressive. I myself plan on getting an electric car likely before this year is done to hopefully reduce my personal transportation emissions. I feel that it's all too late however.

I've always found it odd that societal/financial problems are seen as insurmountable when they are really just human inventions; we could forgive all/some portion of debts, and all the people and infrastructure who exist today would be exactly the same tomorrow. But the very air we breathe contains a third more carbon today than it did when my parents were born; it's an awesome (in the bad way) feat of humanity that we've altered the very atmosphere of our planet in such a dramatic fashion, and there's no simple way to remove it.
I'm not sure there is any reason in principle but it doesn't work now because the APIs for various things are not really standardized. So for instance timers. If anywhere in my code I do `tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100)).await` (which is quite common thing to do) then my code will no longer work with a non-tokio runtime.

> It was technically possible to wire up entire countries and continents for electricity and phone service, so I doubt there are any technical hurdles in doing the same with fibre.

France is aiming at 100% fiber coverage. I spent some time in a very remote, very rural part of France, far from the closest village... And I had fiber to the home (2 Gbps down // 600 Mbps up).
There's a lot of skepticism in this thread but I will just say that the other laws like this have had a huge positive effect on tech job searching in my opinion.

Looking casually at jobs lately I would say that 80% of them have posted salary ranges. This has been enormously helpful in a) helping me avoid jobs with inflated titles but low pay and b) attracting me to jobs I might not otherwise consider because of very competitive pay.

Seems like a win-win in most cases.

Here is the table of materials Marina provided to be used on her: https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/women-artists/r...

I think "baiting needy and damaged people to reveal their own perversions" is a fair characterization, although it may not be a complete one.
Second sentence mentions an API, but then, no API docs anywhere...?
Spores have remained legal forever here in the states because unlike seeds, spores don't contain traces of the banned substances, and there have been legal spore syringe sellers and sterilized substrate-bag sellers etc. since the beginning of internet forums. With a little patience and guidance it's always been there for anyone wanting to try.

Or you could buy a book of mushrooms native to your area, identify the funguys, and take a walk foraging.

Not always. See that Acali experiement ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acali ).

To make it short: An experimenter took a bunch of people, put them a raft expecting sex and violence, instead, they became best friends.

> None of Brightline's deaths were caused by crew error or faulty equipment, but were all related to suicides or pedestrians and drivers trying to cross and beat the trains, according to law enforcement and federal reports.

The article says all grade crossings have barriers, so the video showing a collision shows the car driving around the lowered barriers.

However, with the size and weight of American vehicles, I'm surprised they didn't use full-barrier crossings — there's the potential to derail a train.

500gbit? That's about 5% of the entire capacity of the London Internet Exchange.

I assume you're using some WDM to split the carrier into multiple 100G nics at each end? Doesn't sound cheap.

If your first point holds, then all app components should be “scalable” from the beginning, because you may not have time to make it so later.

And that’s terrible advice, of course. You very likely will have time to scale things up (customer count almost never increase dramatically from one day to the next), and even if you don’t you’ll most likely never deliver a useable product if all components need to be “scalable” from the beginning.
I would rather have ethernet in every room and a less sophisticated/powerful wifi. It seems ethernet is fairly rare even in new construction.
I'm curious how much overlap there is in these salary range requirements between states. I believe California, Colorado, and New York require them, but I wonder if they are actually all consistent in terms of what needs to be included, or if we'll end up in a case where you have to carefully craft your job listing to be compliant with all states (or have a different one for each state).
Because you are able to confidently measure yourself as 3x as good as somebody else, and because you're able to confidently measure value created to be a factor of 10 or more higher, you're able to measure what's needed to define "same."

> you still need epistemology to tell you why you can believe the results of the experiments

No, you don't. This is a common mistake. Science is not about knowledge, it's about explanations. The whole idea of "knowledge" is just part of a vast web of explanations that turn out to be exceptionally good at accounting for the data.

> logical positivism

The mistake of logical positivism is the unjustified assumption that there exists such a thing as "truth", and that this thing is accessible to us by thinking. It isn't. It's a consequence of the empirical observation that the scientific method converges towards something. "Truth" is just a label that we attach to the thing that it's converging to (or at least appears to be converging to -- we won't know if that limit actually exists until we get there).
This article does not say anything about whether more baby boomers are becoming homeless. It says that the fraction of homeless over 60 has increased dramatically. But exactly the same number of people who were homeless in their 40s twenty years ago could still be homeless now, and if the homeless people in their 60s then have mostly died, a larger fraction of homeless people could be their 60s. Perhaps the fraction of homeless 60 year olds has increased (and it would be nice to know what that number is), but we cannot tell from this article. Policy changes in the 1970s — closing of state mental hospitals and the Vietnam war — dramatically increased the number of homeless. That group has gotten older. But it is very unclear that there are new factors that are forcing baby boomers into homelessness.
The funny thing is I live in Europe (UK) too and I can tell you most of these countries are like an old person in pain waiting to die. The entire continent just leeches of the good will and work done by their ancestors like a bunch of trust fund kids (lol).

We don't make anything. You basically work most of the year for the government (50%+ tax + VAT (20%) + forced pension contributions & the sweet sweet 10% inflation) to be forced into sub par services.

> Universal Healthcare

The NHS sucks. Nurses hate it. Doctors hate it. Patients despise it. Its the second biggest line item in our budget, we cant afford it. The cautionary tale for Americans is despite this no political will dare speak against it, its political suicide. NHS has become healthcare, healthcare=NHS.

The conservative party will just use Labours crazy budget proposal from last election cycle and the labour party will come up with an even crazier budget proposal.

Btw this is not an outsider view, my entire family (except me) works for the NHS. My doctor friend described his career as basically indentured servitude. My mum use to tell me to lie to my GPs and pretend like I'm dying or I wont get treated.

> Education

Education is the same, high school was basically forced day care where they turn you into obedient little government slaves. Btw forced is not an exaggeration, parents will go to jail if they take kids out of high school (public indoctrination camps).

> Productivity

I have no idea who comes up with the productivity in numbers but I refuse to 1984 this, we don't make anything in Europe anymore. Even the cars have semiconductors and parts from Asia.

As I look around I'm using an american macbook, asian mouse, american airpods, asian monitor, asian tv, american nicotine pouch, american iphone, asian coffee cup, asian notebook, american coffee, asian water filter, asian glasses, asian office chair, asian wallet, asian clothes, asian washing machine & drier, asian fridge, asian microwave oven etc.

All the people I grew up with works in the services industry. Nobody makes stuff here.

P.S.

I worked as a bartender before and I've done worse (temperature controlled warehouses). Any man (or lady) making an honest living is honourable and respectable.

That said, the type of people who worked in these places are like chimps compared to these people I've "name dropped". Its really hard to get this point across (esp to someone like you), the difference isn't linear. These peoples speak almost different languages.

I know this at an intimate level, I grew up near what used to be the poorest area of the UK. Whenever I'm back home from my world, I have to literally change the way I speak when I hang out with my friends there.

Its not just IQ or EQ either btw, its more. Like a lot more. The sheer volume of perspectives and level of competence.. its really hard to put into words.

I have an iPhone 12 talking to a Sagemcom 5689E that gets about the same.

Want faster? Get gear that's designed to go faster, i.e./e.g., both ends support 802.11ax (Wifi 6E).

> [argument is] COVID relief are driving inflation

If you have a supply chain disruption limiting the supply of raw materials or finished goods to get into the market, and you increase the supply of money in consumers' hands without any corresponding increase in supply of goods/services, I wouldn't expect anything other than an increase in inflation.

I'm not saying that it shouldn't have been done, but to say it was done and didn't contribute significantly to inflation seems extremely unlikely to be correct.
Are you implying that GMail itself is a bad service, and you get better email QoL from the local IT folks, who think that Firefox is not compatible with displaying Stackoverflow?

By more of a techie, I mean to say that I am capable of buying an external reader and dealing with many more hurdles if needed to get something done (eg to read a dvd). So not having a built-in drive would've been less of a hurdle for me, if I had needed to read a dvd.

I have never been a TV console gamer (always been a handheld person), so I concede that point.
> Citation needed. I know Google has a problem finding people fast enough.

Could that be Google's cultural problem? I have not real knowledge or understanding of this, but I was under the vague impression Google is unusually picky and elitist about who it hires (e.g. they want advanced degrees, an elite school background, or a FAANG background, and will turn up their nose at most normal folks).

People have the option to say "Nah, I'm tired, lets go home" instead of staying there if they're tired. But I'm guessing they wanted to see how it ended, so they stuck around.

In the end, people had options, and some people chose options many would consider "less good".

Exploring a terminal-like user interface in a mobile app
Isn’t scientism the idea that we have a set of knowledge that is conclusively known along with a heavy reliance on authority, while science is about inquiry, experimentation and searching for theories?

A physicists dismissing philosophy as out of date implies that we are already on the optimum path to discovering the remaining knowledge about the universe to be learned.
I'd like to introduce Trtl, a mobile app I'm working on with a terminal-like UI.

I don't see many mobile apps on HN but this one has a twist that I thought might be interesting to the HN community.

I recently sat down to write myself an app to record business trips in my personal vehicle and the simple use-case was an excellent opportunity to explore an old thought that a terminal interface could be a good fit for mobile.

There's a concept in the UX world loosely called "Reachability" which refers to how much of the screen the user can comfortably reach with their thumb. The idea behind it being that frequently used elements should be located within that convenience zone. A terminal-like interface, with it's keyboard-first interactive model, is very compatible with this.

Further, our fingers are also the mouse in the mobile context so mouse-centric design patterns like buttons can still be useful. One example of this in Trtl is the custom odometer entry control. It uses the keyboard for entry but you can also change the currently selected digit by tapping the UI element. The actions presented in the command lines are also tappable!

It's definitely not perfect. There are some notable UX issues to iron out, touch target sizes, discoverability, etc. Still though, I'm personally surprised and impressed by how well a terminal-like concept works in a mobile app.

Thanks for looking!

I'm sure I forgo some convenience by not having field auto-populate all of the time (Keepass can do some of this, but I haven't had it work reliably), but I relax knowing I need not worry about a third-party service being hacked or my credentials being behind a paywall.

The naivety in some of the responses to your take surprise me. If you walked into the centre of London, Sydney or NYC, setup a table which included these objects and invited the public to do whatever they wanted to you, the general outcome is fairly predictable.

GPT-4 is not the same product. I know it seems like it due to the way they position 3.5 and 4 on the same page, but they are really quite separate things. When I signed up for ChatGPT plus I didn't even bother using 3.5 because I knew it would be inferior. I still have only used it a handful of times. GPT-4 is just so much farther ahead that using 3.5 is just a waste of time.
