> the people don't have a say in their current government

Sure, and I get a say in my government. Every five years. We've had three prime ministers since the last time I was allowed to vote in national elections, including two certifiable crazies.

Some people seem to think that a government isn't legitimate unless it's appointed the way we appoint our government (FSVO "we"). I happen to take the view that an election isn't legitimate, however well it's run, if it's conducted while under military siege.
We use H2 in production for a non-critical small app.
If it goes down we just launch it again and it fetches data from other internal webapps.

Maybe you should read a study before citing it:

> On the basis of distance to airport coefficients, children living within 500 m, 1,000 m, or 1,500 m of an airport had average blood lead levels that were 4.4, 3.8, or 2.1% higher, respectively, than other children.

> Based on the geospatial and statistical analysis presented above, lead from avgas may have a small (2.1–4.4%) but significant impact on blood lead levels in children who live in proximity to airports where avgas is used. The magnitude of the estimated effect of living near airports was largest for those children living within 500 m and decreased in a monotonic fashion out to 1,500 m.

2-4% higher doesn't exactly scream environmental crisis to me. Especially when it's limited to an area under a mile from known locations and can be easily avoided if one wishes.

> Although controlling for individual- and group-level confounders attenuated the association between logged blood lead levels and residential proximity to an airport, evidence of a deleterious relationship remained. In the adjusted models, control variables behaved as expected: Relative to being screened in the winter season, children tested in the spring, summer, or fall had increased blood lead levels, on average. Residence in poor and minority neighborhoods was also associated with elevated lead levels. In contrast, recently constructed housing units were associated with decreased mean lead levels.

Interesting how the correlation isn't as strong as one would imply and there's other factors at play too. If you close all of the airports it's not going to drop lead exposure to zero.

So let me re-iterate my original point again: Obviously 4.4% elevated lead levels (in the worst case, ~1,500ft from an airport) isn't something to accept as "this is fine." Instead of taking the burn it down approach, close all airports, ground the GA fleet, and destroy an entire industry, let's get the FAA off their butts and get G100UL rolled out across the board so we can stop this silly argument about a tiny percentage of lead exposure. Which, mind you, is peanuts compared to lead pipes still in use.
For most changes I want more context than -c provides, because I see that your change is syntactically correct, but semantically, was your change from < to <= appropriate? I need to see the definition of the things you're comparing to.

Often -c is enough, but not always. I don't believe you can make a hard and fast rule. I think all you can really do is have a diff that allows you to 'jump to definition' or 'list callers', just like you can when looking at the code itself.
My point is that many people undergoing cancer treatments are trying to avoid having their lives cut short rather than extend them unnaturally. Children with cancer is an example of this, but it applies to adults as well. Dying of cancer before you get to enjoy a full lifespan IS bleak. And not just for the afflicted person, but also for their friends and family.
Personally I think the effects of social media will be overshadowed by the impact of internet pornography. More and more young men every day are lamenting the issues it causes them and more and more relationships are falling apart as a result.

Historically, though, most doomsayers are proven wrong. Let's hope we are too.
I remember when Facebook was restricted to folks with college domain emails. I used it for a year and decided I wasn't interested in algorithmic online stalking of people I barely knew and cared about. I'm still surprised social media turned out to be such a big hit. I guess people wanted some way to keep track of social news and the usual outlets like blogs and RSS feeds were too "nerdy" for the average internet consumer. Now we are stuck with digital panopticons and all the attendant problems associated with them. If you have kids I recommend teaching them how to properly use computational devices instead of just being passive consumers who get herded by statistical algorithms to optimize clickthrough rates.
GDP, even GDPnow is a very trailing indicator. And NBER always declares recessions 6 months after the stock market has seen it and sold off.

Stuff like this is where the worries about recessions are coming from:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-21/high-car-...

Combine that with looking around at the commercial real estate situation.

Then there's the pretty historical tightening cycle the Fed just went through. Recessions usually hit 6-12 months after the Fed stops tightening, because it takes time for loans to roll over into the new interest rate regime and for the costs to really bite.

And look around at all the companies that have been surviving off of cheap debt from ZIRP running at zero or negative return on capital / operational earnings while trying to grow at all costs who are now "right-sizing" and laying people off.
And that’s fair enough. The original commenter asked ‘when artists would stop treating AI as competition’.

You are just reinforcing the fact that AI is competition.

I have a lot of good friends who took the path to be a physician when i opted back into tech. It's been staggering to see 100% of them say never go into medicine, at least in the US. Two are considering leaving the country to practice when their loans are paid off.

My personal side project is finding and documenting ways to get treatment while avoiding the insurance system as much as possible. IMO you really should only see a GP in the sick-care system as someone to order the most basic labs and screenings, and to receive reports you seek out on your own from specialists who take cash payments.

Femininity as a concept is rooted in patriarchal oppression, but because people are brainwashed and pressured into it, they actively want it, so it's not a problem.

Women against burkas or female circumcision are also vocal minorities in parts of the world too.
A company that uses planned obsolescence probably see's these bugs as more of a feature. Out of warranty, out of mind.
> dry seasons, too, can dampen bee populations in hives as they flee and search for moister climes.

This seems unlikely. The bees likely died. Bees don’t just leave their brood and fly off.
I'm pretty sure amazon and facebook started without problems to solve.

Facebook was trying to make a better social network compared to hi5 and friendster before it.

Apple made a personal home computer that was accessible to anyone who wanted one or build it

Amazon started with book deliveries with a goal of distributing everything and doing it much better. There is a bezos interview out here.

It's OK to build something that exists in the world but to some degree it is a vanity exercise relative to your experience with that thing or domain. It's fine to build something you think should exist, but it should be seen for what it is - a project, and not a product until an addressable market and audience is found who pay to sign up and there's low churn.

Building some of what you want and including feedback from a market is something.

Otherwise (it's fine), it can be a lot of folks wanting to exercise their inner Steve Jobs visionary ways without remembering he had a few billion in backing to do as he wished with a track record.

Lean startup is more about betting more than on just one version of your idea that you think needs to be built today, it's about finding enough hypotheses to test before doubling down. It's more of a science than an art (that may or may not work out)

Having plenty of contact with reality is still kind of vague, if it's relative to what's important to you for a confirmation bias effect, so be it. But simply putting in the conversations constantly and including a part of your roadmap between what you want to build, what customers are saying, bug fixes, and long term dev (5-10%) can lower your risk much more.
> At the end of the day none of those differentiators are protectible, and they are fundamentally laundering free innovations done by a very small number of people, like Linux Kernel developer.

What does this use of laundering mean? The financial application of laundering does not make sense to me here (to make something procured illegally look like it was procured legally).

Social media is harmless, so it's the parents' fault for not restricting their child's use of social media? You can't have this one both ways. If there is a parental responsibility, it is incurred because social media can be harmful, which creates a cause for action.
Thanks for the info, there's definitely a few things in there I'll be looking up. By "get go" I meant circa March 2020 when it began to affect legislation fwiw.

FWIW, I have been daily driving a Librem 5 for about 5 months now. It is NOT slow.

Some JS heavy pages take a long time to load (FF is mostly fine, GNOME Web is not) in the browser.
Other apps work totally fine speed-wise.

There's a lot of opinions in this thread but not a lot of people with firsthand experience.
Not in the court of public opinion. People are allowed to judge guilt/innocence for themselves well in advance of being legally proven. Cynicism about modern day capitalism is thoroughly justified. The track record of ad-tech companies to "do the right thing" is really bad.

It's up to Meta to handle PR on such things. Unfortunately when your company is accused of, for instance, contributing to a genocide, your PR department probably doesn't have a lot of options.

Please don't push this anti-scientific bullshit here based on your anecdata. Millions of people died from covid; the vast majority weren't all neglected in nursing homes.

I personally knew someone in their 40s who died and two others around the same age who got hospitalised.

I knew several older people who died; I don't know how fearful they were of the disease, but given that it killed them they would have been right to have scared of it.

The mumbo jumbo idea that people were avoiding getting sick through positive thinking is nonsense.
But then every generation after the 820 used a Cortex core so their in-house core only lasted one year.

Romanian culture becoming communist didn't happen because of Russian political influence? They just decided to become communist entirely on their own? The Romanian communist government wasn't put into place by the USSR? And all the communist cultural elements in Romania from 1945 to the 1990s didn't exist?

P.S., I live in the region in an ex-Soviet country.
No, I’m just saying that for me personally, if I wanted advice about taking psychiatric medication, I would prefer a clinicians view over the view of a epidemiological researcher, _even if they have the exact same level of training as medical doctors_. I don’t know about the researchers in question, maybe they too are practitioners. If they are, you should qualify that they aren’t merely epidemiologists. Epidemiology as a field has a problem with replication not unlike psychology or nutrition research.
Key points taken from here - https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1716587317257732472.html

1. Expanded H-1B cap exemptions would make it easier for research organizations to qualify for cap-exempt H-1Bs

2. Automatic cap-gap extensions will make it easier for international students to stay here after they graduate

3. The new rule would make it easier for immigrant founders to stay here on H-1Bs to grow their companies

4. Beneficiary-first selection would put immigrants in the driver's seat in picking between competing job offers. It would also help level the playing field by making it harder for IT outsourcing companies to game the system and boost their chances of securing visas

5. "Prior deference" will give certainty and predictability when it comes to visa renewals

Seems really promising!
A lot changes.

1. I would feel taken seriously.

2. I would still be seeing them to check-up on my health.

3. I would be discussing the budding literature to try promising things (i.e. atorvastatin, AT1RB, etc) - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9520195/

4. Other patients who are young and healthy are also validated (i.e. we are seeing more of you)

5. etc

The problem with western medicine today is that if you cannot be treated, they want you out of the system. The system is starting to get much better at adapting to these novel health challenges though. I suppose that will happen when there's 65 million across the world with these issues!
> nobody was able to say what the "complete" sofware should look like

We had "complete" software for decades. You can use an iterative development model until all of the major goals are achieved then ship a final product. After that it's just maintenance.

Iterative development has consumed the ship and maintenance parts of product delivery to the point that the industry no longer even can recognize or remember that such a thing can exist.

Enshittification is the result because if you keep going in and messing with a shipped product, the temptation to try to squeeze it for revenue when its market maxes out becomes irresistible. Modern development practices like CI/CD were invented to enable this behavior and really only build value during the earlier core development stages. After that it becomes an extractive process.

It's kind of like how when colonial powers were building railroads in India, or Korea, or wherever. The intention was to use the rail lines to extract resources from the colonized territory, but the side effect is that the local people in the country also suddenly had improved transportation infrastructure and oh yeah, jobs. For a while the people who work on or near the rail line "prosper" but nobody remembers that the goal was to suck all of the lifeblood out of the countryside and move it to the ports. Once the line is complete the model flips to extraction and the development activity ceases, and everybody who had previously prospered because they could use the rail line to get jobs, education and health care wonders why life sucks now.
And now there's this new article showing an actual mechanism (or at least more direct than just populational studies).

I agree. Keep ontologies lightweight (RDFS/OWL) and work validation constraints out in SHACL.

I like the notion of polyglot modelling pushed forward by LinkML. Have a single source of truth in YAML (or in some format which conforms to the LinkML metamodel) and derive whichever schemas are needed from there. The management of dependencies is made easy thanks to the imports of other models. LinkML also forces the user to work with a well-identified set of datatypes.

[SOML](https://platform.ontotext.com/semantic-objects/soml/) is a similar initiative developed at Ontotext.
>I'd love a color e-ink art frame, but I hope maybe I can find one in a store to see first.

Me too. I see them used at small scale, like price tags at the local grocery stores (I'm told Aldi's in the US as switched to these), and I fanboy a bit when I see them used in the wild.
The government probably has outsourced this to the only company which bid based on some "anti-corruption" or "fair-trading" rules which were passed. There is of course no way to hold that outsourced company to account.
Practically all social media revenue is derived from advertising, and the lawsuit specifically references advertising regulations. The regulation of advertising would seem to necessarily imply the regulation of any ad-funded social media.

So, email addresses kind of suffer from the same problem as Social Security numbers - they were never designed to be private information! But they have been forced to fit that role.

And, you know, cities have no problem giving out personal information all of the time. Your personal address, or whoever owns property in a city, is a matter of public record. And so the city has no problem handing out your name and address to anyone that asks. Your email address is much lower stake.
Why should I use FollowDev when HN exists?

I always come to HN for the comments first article second, then I won't waste my time reading the article sometimes.

Esoteric knowledge of a domain is hyper valuable.

If it's in the B2B space, it's often still about finding which parts are painful enough to pay for is fun.

The long and short of it is people will justify what they want to build what they want without making it customer or market focused.

Building the future is fun, but timing the market is what kills most of those attempts.

Building what's needed now and ready to adopt might grow into something far more, like the first version of Facebook was very simple, not what it grew into (with users in hand learning along the way) to the complex thing it is now.

The metric that matters is people who sign up, use it, and pay. The last one is usually not one that funded startups want to know much about because it actualizes potential and valuations. In that way self-funded startups (or with F2F) has to focus on default-alive economics sooner, which can be great for an idea to hang around until it's time comes.
We should separate anti-abuse laws that don't compromise e2e (like Apple's hash matching) and laws that ban e2e. Once we do it we should fight for one against the other.

If abuse is real and e2e is key to it, taking measures against abuse while keeping e2e is important. Fighting against any measure altogether is immoral

The above commenter mentioned censorship. Regardless, the usage of algorithms doesn't mean there's a different set of rules the government can use to regulate it. The incentives you mentioned aren't limited to social media. Traditional media also has these same incentives, and tunes their headlines to be more sensational and attention grabbing. For example: https://blog.tjcx.me/p/new-york-times-ab-testing HN discussion at the time https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26419070
You linked me to a website for a US organization that apparently encourages the extremely wealthy to create more tax shelters for themselves, and followed that up by pointing out that the US accounts for 28% of the world's billionaires while making up 4% of its population.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make. I don't think we have a monopoly on greedy businesspeople or politicians either, but I do think that as the epicenter of global capitalism, we dominate the market. You can't hope to solve problems if you won't allow yourself to accurately define them.
The probe itself is a relatively insignificant cost. The launch costs and timing windows are the limiting factor.

The tyranny of the rocket equation is the fact that to carry more fuel to orbit, you need more fuel to get it into orbit, which itself needs more fuel.
That's why gravity assists are so essential for escaping the solar system on a budget.

The planetary alignment that enabled the Voyager launch windows only occurs once every 175 years.

We should definitely be sending out more probes, but we can't just do it whenever we want, at least not without a lot more expense.

I have permanent residency in Taiwan so it's easy for me, although before that it was still easier than anything in the US, just not next to free without their national insurance.

I don't necessarily encourage medical tourism but simply fly to Taipei, find a doctor you want to see, and sign up for an appointment. It will be a little more work without the NHI card but still probably less than whatever you're dealing with. If you get medical scans, almost everyone can print a CD with them in a day or two if you ask. Getting care even without insurance was cheaper than just my US insurance premiums.

Having someone fluent in Chinese is important enough I'd say it was required but if you restrict yourself to a smaller sunset of hospitals and clinics that serve foreigners around like Tianmu you may be able to get by with a translator app.

People outside NHI are uncommon and their medical system isn't really set up to support it. You may want to consider actual medical tourism facilities of which I've heard of several in Mexico or Costa Rica.

You and your mother may also want to consider rioting, because the US system is deliberately and almost uniquely stupid.
Fishing vests arent standard piece of clothing more along the lines of sporting equipment than garment.
