Either the Project Management Commitee kicks it off, or the ASF's board does it. The fake activity in the repo is probably supposed to prevent attracting attention from the board:

Debunking the “Alpha Leader” Myth
> Breaking existing rules and being unregulatable is probably an intentional point of Starlink.

Looking at Starlink's coverage map (for stationary service at least), they seem to very much be playing by the rules (i.e. international laws and regulations regarding satellite communication services): https://www.starlink.com/map

A "break rules and become unregulateable" approach would not have service boundaries corresponding to political borders.
Exactly. I'm not sure what the appeal of these crossovers are (they're effectively small sedans on the Chassis of a small SUV) but at that price point, just get a foreign sedan that you can drive into the ground. I have a number of friends with 100k+ miles on Carollas that drive like they're brand new.

Some vehicles have gotten insanely expensive, but the real dollar cost per mile of a safe and reliable vehicle has never been cheaper.
Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed reply!

Some people remodel more than others. I've seen kitchens that haven't changed since 1950 (including some things that we always unsafe). I've seem people who remodel their kitchen every 3 years. 10 is average, but there are outliers in every average. There will be a lot left in 15 years, but very few in 50 years.

Resumewriting.com – use generative AI to get bespoke resumes for each role
I'm not sure when a company begins to not be a start up, but by the time they have a wave of news claiming their product kills teenagers, or they're engaging in antitrust, or they're effectively using space labor, that's when they are definitely no longer a start up.

That hasn't happened yet for OpenAI, but I'm sure it will happen eventually, and then we'll know.

I think it depends on the manufacturer. I have a Honda reaching higher mileage and it's a CVT and I love it. Never had one problem with it.

Also, I think this is one of those things where CVTs came out, there were a bunch of problems that popped up in the first 3-5 years with different manufacturers, and now those problems are largely fixed but it left people feeling apprehensive around it. Honestly, I think this CVT ICE car is going to be my last gas car anyway. It'll probably last me another 5 years easily and by then there will be even more options for cheaper EVs in the US.
You are either pretending, or refusing, or failing, to understand subtext and intent.
I recently moved and was going through boxes of stuff I had accumulated. In one of the boxes, I have notebooks from over 20 years ago. There is also a hard drive with an IDE connection on it packed around the same time. The papers were ever so slightly degraded, but immediately completely readable. I no longer have the hardware to read the hard drive (though, yes, I’m sure I can find some online or at a garage sale). This box of materials has now gone through at least ten moves with me.

It's more about optimizing for curiosity [1]. Back-and-forths are fine when people are genuinely interested, but tit-for-tat spats are the worst. The former tend to continue while curiosity lasts, while the latter hopefully peter out after a while; in any case we should not be resuscitating them.

Push notifications are basically a stack-swap op: they push down what you're interested in right now, in favor of something you were interested in a while ago. This is good for engagement, but on HN we're in the sweet spot of not needing to juice engagement. HN is most valuable when it's as good as possible, not when traffic is highest [2], so we try for quality over quantity. (Not that quality is all that high, but that's a different story. [3])

I'm not sure that PG was particularly against notifications because he added this at one point:

CTE is looming over any athlete of a contact sport. This lawsuit might be a crisis:

However, when you consider the NFL, which had a similar lawsuit, it is making more money than ever and not having trouble recruiting people to play, so I dunno. The sport itself will likely be OK.

The ASF does not tell projects what to do. It provides a process and a place, and gives projects autonomy. The project, not the foundation, decides to keep running the project. So to characterize the ASF as "kicking this can down the road" for some kind of inscrutable motivation is just not how things work.

The members of the OO project want to keep running their project. They have a group of people who keep showing up to do user support, documentation, and produce a huge community around their templates. They just haven't pushed any new features for a while. But they still are there, keeping the lights on.

The ASF is not a top-down organization. It's driven entirely by those projects. And if you look at the dev list - https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@openoffice.apache.org - you'll note that this issue gets raised on a VERY regular basis, and the project participants always say "no thanks."

As to "making a deal with LibreOffice", I would encourage you to read the mailing list, where that, too, gets raised with great regularity. There, too, the community sentiment is "no thanks." On both sides.
Awesome! Thanks for the link. Ending regulatory capture is the main plank in RFK Jr's presidential campaign. He's mentioned the FDA, NIH, EPA, the CIA and the military industrial complex, but I haven't heard him talk about capture of the telecom regulators.

Sorry for the political ad, but I'm frustrated by news articles that say "voters don't want Biden or Trump", but fail to mention RFK's campaign.

Oh, and did you hear that neither New Hampshire's nor Iowa's delegates to the Democratic national convention will be counted? Or rather, they'll automatically go to Biden. I kid you not.

I was living without a car in an affluent area of SoCal recently and I made the mistake of using google maps to walk to the nearest cafe, which was 20 minutes away.

Google maps literally made me walk on the highway to get there. I later realized local people use the paths through private property to walk where ever (if they ever walk anywhere that is).

Puzzled, I asked someone why there were no sidewalks anywhere. They replied without sarcasm that it's probably because people didn't want to encourage "outsiders" to wander around their neighborhood.

It's race also, but Americans don't know how to talk about class either, lest god forbid the commies take over.

The buses came only once every 2 hours and the closest bus stop itself was at the cafe. When I got on the bus, people realized right way that it was my first rodeo. Everybody on the bus was extremely helpful, chiming in randomly to help me to get to where I needed to go. I'll let you guess their ethnicity.
It's not exactly a conspiracy theory. ADL have very openly attacked Twitter, Musk says the ADL have been pressuring advertisers, and many different kinds of groups have complained about left wing pressure groups trying to cancel them by attacking advertisers. This isn't just an issue for Twitter but basically any conservative website or news channel, for example.

It'd actually be more surprising if the ADL wasn't trying to destroy Musk right now. That's just how those groups roll.

> If things have gotten so bad that the ADL say you're toxic, you're likely a Superfund site.

ADL define criticism of the ADL as anti-semitism, so it really means nothing.
In general, American roads are a lot bigger and straighter than European roads, meaning in terms of consumer preference, horsepower matters more in the former, and being nimble matters more in the latter.

I agree with you that not every car needs to have a sub-6 second 0-60 time. A 9.8 second 0-60 of the Kicks is considerably faster than, say, a Fiat Panda.
This feels fairly naive, ignoring how much progress has happened over the (short) span of one year. This doesn't sound like that tough of a gap to close in another year (again, projecting based off recent progress).

Were you able to find anything backing that up? I wasn't, and this is a very famous and thoroughly analyzed piece of art. Given the lack of evidence I'm leaning towards not believing that anonymous third-hand account.
The anti-pattern here isn't Kafka, it's using Kafka for 7,500 messages/day. Making your whole system asynchronous for that level of load is the textbook definition of over-engineering.
Sometimes a technology or pattern can be poisonous in a very specific way that warrants a label: when they're most alluring to those least equipped to leverage them.

Just like microservices, you cross the activation energy to want Kafka very easily because it's appealing on résumés, sounds like a hedge against scale,etc.

But there's a huge asymmetry in understanding the drawbacks to them. When you spin up these systems, the drawbacks don't hit you immediately, it feels like they're solving the problem you had, and it's not until you've invested immense amounts of sweat capital (and literal capital) that you discover how badly you screwed up.

You need some way to match that low effort value prop with a low friction warning: this is not a panacea for your problems. It only seems simple, it's not simple, it will hurt you unless know it will hurt you and simply have the resources and scale to play through that hurt.

—

To me that warning is what's implied by "antipattern", it's not never use this, it's never use this unless you know why you should never use this.
FWIW, the article has an invalid email address in it, so nobody's getting those messages.
Quartz countertops are more expensive than natural granite. They're only cheaper than something like Marble.

Quartz is also strictly a better material: it's not as porous as granite, much much harder than marble (marble can be scratched so easily), and can be made into almost any color or pattern.

Super rich folks may prefer natural stone, but not because it's a better material... it may be preferred because it's a worse material in many cases. The cost and fragility is part of the allure by itself.
I did some time ago. Back then it seemed like Flutter was like a parallel world where a different set of languages and APIs existed instead of the Web APIs. Which I thought was interesting. However unlike Web APIs Flutter didn't have the girth of resources tutorials and documentation available.

I don't know exactly if that's what stopped me or maybe I'm just just not meant for learning UI libraries of any sort as even something like Dear Imgui has been unattractive to me.
Right, it is perfectly valid to only accept the potential good points while neglecting all the potential bad points.

This is no different then saying "Look, nuclear weapons aren't actually dangerous, if they were we'd all be dead because the apocalypse would have already happened", which is probably the dumbest take on the close calls and real risks that exist.
>Also if you are arrested and found innocent, you are not compensated in any way for that arrest, which was clearly wrongful.

Not only that, there are likely fees and fines.
Originally, you couldn't see the reply count while looking at a tweet because the replies were just visible below the tweet itself. Then Musk pushed a ton of changes, and now there's still no reply count, but now you can't see those replies if you're not logged in. Really it's just that the sensible evolutionary changes haven't had a chance to catch up with the breakneck changes.

> Maybe it's obvious when it looks too quiet?

This is probably your best signal. The linked tweet currently has 37 retweets, 10 quote-tweets, and 240 likes, so it would be incredibly unusual if there were actually zero replies (barring tweets which have had their replies limited). But to know that, you'd have to know a bit about Twitter norms, and if you know that then you probably know that you can't see replies without being logged in.
There isn't enough energy in a gallon of gas to get the typical car to 100mpg. You can get some special designed tiny cars to more than that, but the compromises on size mean that it won't be popular because of how small it must be. While they work for 90% of driving (one person), that other 10% means another car which is expensive.
And for the group I played with this was an essential element of the fun. The chaos of trying to survive the first few nights when you knew nothing about the game. The fear of the unknown as darkness falls, panic induced by sightings and sounds of threats unfamiliar. I’d love to be able to forget all I know and re-experience this version of the game.

It's odd to me that the wrong take has risen to the top of the comments, but not surprising. HN isn't what it used to be, demonstrated by how long threads dominate the front page while the actual answers fall below the fold.

Regulation isn't the problem, or even part of the problem. Wealth inequality is. Which is counterbalanced by progressive taxation.

But none of you want the rich to pay taxes, so here we are. Quite literally, this Silent Depression is your fault - the titans of the tech industry.

Since we can't rely on our last best hope for breaking this generational trauma we're trapped in to bring actual solutions like UBI, then tech and the financial system it metastasizes may be the enemy. I've had this feeling for a long time, at least since the Housing Bubble popped, 9/11 and the Dot Bomb, but probably as far back as the Savings and Loan scandal of the 1980s, and even before that with the disingenuous messaging coming out of the Reagan administration before I was old enough to understand politics. I remember the news being filled with imagery of tanks rolling through the Middle East and starving children, asking myself why the world would even have wars or hunger when we have nuclear weapons and billions of dollars that could help people. Until I learned that financial elites stoke those fires to further US hegemony to prevent the owner class from being toppled.

I dunno, I just have this feeling that it's probably over. Young people are looking around and asking why they should take that third job to make rent and feed their kids this month, when that money just goes to paying Boomers' retirements in Vanguard and BlackRock. Maybe they can just take this year off instead, by taking this month's income and camping indefinitely, pulling the plug on the rat race and just living. Eventually forming small communal city states that provide for their citizens while the business world consumes itself since it doesn't produce anything like workers do.

So it's looking like the working world will probably go communist in some fashion for survival. Not just in the US, but in Asia and the Global South. That's what I see in the red state I live in, with the influx of financial refugees, flying the libertarian flag in the frontier towns they've constructed without understanding their own communist tendencies.

While with even the slightest central planning, continuing FDR's New Deal and Johnson's Great Society, we could have been living like the Jetsons in 2023. Instead of selling out for trickle down economics and colonizing our own country with the poors propping up the service industry so that billionaires can richsplain to us how if we just worked harder we could be rich someday too.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
For one, you can assume that data will be compromised and exfiltrated.
You make it sound simple. What's the replacement? UBI is at least somewhat within grasp. Completely replacing capitalism is going to take a long time and it's more likely to happen as incremental improvements.
Yes I am failing to understand the subtext other people are reading into this piece, and haven't seen a single comment attempt to explain it. What is the chain of logic that leads from "it says to do whatever I want" to "I will attack"?
You're the one claiming privatizing a water system could be cheaper!
I could not find an example. I did try.
My counter to all those conspiracy theories: China. They have smart engineers, too. If a 100mpg carburetor were possible, they'd be building the thing so they could cut their oil imports.

(Well, that and physics. We know how much energy we can extract from a gallon of gasoline, and no amount of cleverness can get around that.)
If she wanted to see people acting beautifully, she would have performed it at a soup kitchen, or a temple.

I have a problem with places that area “famous”, I don't find them interesting, and they generally more expensive to travel to.

So thinking about this I decided to create a project about this, create a “newsletter” where I can recommend places in the world that are different

for example:
— hotels
— restaurants
— parties and all kinds of things

i want to create something simple that would be useful to anyone in this world, something that would really be exciting to stop for a while and read.

“a simple and quick read”

During the months of the year, you would receive an email with a “travel itinerary” an “adventure” in it would contain a place in the word that is fascinating, a region that would have places to stay, places that you would find good food and parties or fascinating places to see.

What do you think of this idea?

I agree completely. Kafka, and event based architectures, are highly overused, but are also the right thing sometimes. It's FAR easier to manage an architecture where systems call into the source of truth for a given piece of data via APIs, and you should only switch to an event model if you truly need to.
During healthier job markets, I've seen tons of candidates job hopping every 12-24 months to get better pay etc. This is wasteful of time for the companies, who train these employees up before they're fully productive.

Now, in a recession, there is more of a scarcity mindset on the side of the workers as you are showing.
That returns a 404.

Not true. Automobiles have become vastly better at all price points over the last 50 years. Safer, more fuel efficient and longer-lasting. The same applies to smartphones, PCs, televisions, etc. And laser eye surgery. And passenger air travel since the Carter administration de-centralized (de-regulated) it in the late 1970s.
We were hearing that the day he bought it and started layoffs. Twitter will be crashed within a few days, we heard.

Clearly that never happened. Twitter is still online, making changes and executing. That's what executives are responding to here. They aren't going to draw a strong link between fewer people and less ad revenue when attacks on Twitter by advertisers are so clearly politically motivated, it's just not relevant for most companies business models. Overstaffing is.
