You say delusion but I can tell your politics with far far better than random accuracy just by the city you live in. State legislators do actually deal with issues local to the district despite them being drawn increasingly weird.

I don't think we should base our political system on the assumption but I don't think it's unfounded. It's tough to want to have the makeup of my state legislature reflect the will of the population at large while making sure when the pool is distributed my district gets a democrat because anything else would be insane given the political makeup of the area.

> Home prices - these will fall when interest rates fall

This is the opposite of what will happen. Homebuyers express their housing budget in the amount they can spend each month. That then translates to a home price. If rates come down, that budget translates to a higher home price. (All things equal, if a buyer has already decided to spend $X, they are not going to spend 0.8 * $X to get a lesser place just because rates have come down.)

When rates come down, houses are going to get still more expensive.
Hm. Here in Iowa we pronounce it the way natives do.
What's particularly striking is how the US, long perceived as a champion of democracy and fair play, has become a playground for these oligarchs, Russian or otherwise. The article poignantly highlights how the US itself is nurturing a similar class of uber-rich individuals who mirror the opulence and influence of their Russian counterparts. The description of the Amadea, with its lavish amenities and tangled ownership web, underscores the extravagance that symbolizes the detachment of these oligarchs from the realities of everyday people.
Like what activities?
Quite a coincidence: I also stopped hard-wrapping my emails after reading that same essay, and I also use Pandoc to prepare my emails (or a program, invoked by a shortcut in vim, that sends the selected text to Pandoc).

There's nowhere near enough honey pots. I'm running endless on my home server, and a WordPress "login" that just delays 5 seconds before denying on a VPS. I've run Cowrie and a full blown WordPress honey pot in the past.

> American-Israeli oligarchs plunder the whole world

Huh?
Hm. This doesn't seem like it does much if there's a sufficiently high concentration of cracked districts, relative to packed districts.

I gerrymandered during the define phase using classic packing / cracking strategies, such that I had 8 majority-B districts (2:3) and 2 majority-A districts (4:1 and 5:0), and unsurprisingly, the only districts I was able to combine that were majority-A were those that included the packed districts.

If the overall split was, say, 27:23 instead of 25:25 such that we could define 9 majority-B districts in the define phase, then I would only have been able to define a single majority-A district in the combine phase.

(And yes, all of these gerrymandered districts would be considered safe B seats, as one would expect with a 20% margin)

There are also potentially issues if the packed districts are geographically clustered -- we see this a lot in states with a single predominant urban center (e.g. Kansas, Minnesota, Kentucky). In those cases, you might be forced to combine multiple packed districts due to pathological maps. For instance, consider a map where a Democratic bastion is districted into concentric rings -- that satisfies the contiguity requirement, yet only the outermost district abuts any Democratic-minority districts.
Yes but if you’ve seen him around and watched his content as you’re suggesting, you know that he finds any opportunity to milk publicity. It’s happened before. Everyone should take this with a grain of salt.
This is mildly amusing because I feel like I'm a great economy for effectively the same reason. I bought a downtown townhouse seven years ago at roughly half the price this neighborhood is currently going for and I'm paying 1.9% interest, on track to have the house paid off completely in another seven years despite housing expense being well under 10% of my income. I'm also expecting a kid but purchased bigger than I needed on purpose in anticipation of that.

I'm sure a lot of this has to do with who you know as well. Someone further down asked if it "feels" like unemployment is really 3.7%, which seems like a silly question in a lot of ways. How something feels to you is not representative of an entire country. Personally, it "feels" like 0% unemployment to me because nobody I keep in regular contact with is unemployed, my family is mostly in skilled trades and business is booming, and my younger nieces/nephews who recently graduated college all found jobs pretty much instantly, higher paying than I'd have expected, with random ass humanities degrees and no special skills. My own company is still growing and hiring, though our parent company had layoffs. I don't know any of those people, though.

But if your entire peer group is senior engineers expecting $500k salaries who worked for web companies that overhired during Covid and live in places where a family-sized house goes for at least $2 million, it probably feels more dire. Probably similar for media companies given the streaming wars are ending and they have to operate like real businesses now and actually make money. All the creatives I know have been struggling their entire lives, though, so that is nothing new.
In addition to these big-move structural proposals that will take a long time to actually be adopted, there's something everyone can do now that can have an immediate effect: vote in primaries. Gerrymandering has the effect of making the general election meaningless, so the dominant party's primary becomes the whole game. If you're a Republican in Berkeley, for example, you don't need a lot of Republican and moderate voters to tilt the local Democratic primary, because not a lot of people vote in them.

1) Kids? You mean only high schoolers, right? I lived that time period and can't imagine any kid who didn't drive having a cell phone, then.

2) I graduated in the early '00s and I think maybe 5% of the kids in my graduating class, at most, had a cell phone by graduation. Mostly some shitty Nokia with a phone-only or low-texting plan (texting was still crazy-expensive), mainly for contacting parents about after school activity stuff.

I'm going to go ahead and blame the choices made by your brethren and politicians for this one.

A bunch of of analysts said brexit was going to be bad for the UK economy in a number of specific ways. The population didn't listen, and no leaders stepped in to save the day. You can't really blame investors for treating your country like a toxic waste dump when they openly accept toxic waste and leaders are out there pushing the idea that toxic waste will bring in more money and isn't really toxic.
The two party system is not a policy, it’s a symptom of First Past the Post elections.

If you want the system to change we need to restructure how elections work, not somehow try to abolish the idea of people working together politically.

Philosophically, even if not written in the contract, someone could convince you to dilute at the last minute. The best interest of a buyer is to put the target in close bankruptcy before buying it. Anything is possible in peer-to-peer negotiations, and legal framework can only go so far.

Yeah I consistently hear people say "well if we have proportional representation then you won't have access to your representative who is beholden to your needs specifically." My federal district has 600k voters. My house representative lives 100 miles away from me and is a complete asshole who regularly publicly attacks my demographic. I'm sure not able to take him to a baseball game to share my political concerns, let alone get him to care if I send a letter.

I used Slint recently and don’t think it’s quite ready for me. It doesn’t support recursive types in the DSL, so trees have to be represented as a flat array. It’s also not possible to combine certain AST elements like an `if` and `for` loop.

The LSP extension for VSCode seemed to have some stability issues as well.

I ended up rewriting the project using egui and found it pretty pleasant. With this said I hope slint succeeds!
> What Russia does in Ukraine is a conventional war, not Genozid neither.

Scholars of genocide disagree with your assessment. Russian actions against Ukrainians, from massacres to kidnapping of children and burning Ukrainian books, not to mention declarations that Ukrainians don't exist at all, are obvious signs of genocial intent and genocide itself. https://newlinesinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/English-Rep...

Articles like the infamous "What Russia Should Do with Ukraine" also leave no doubt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Russia_Should_Do_with_Ukr...

After all, why does Putin have so much trouble travelling internationally? Because the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for kidnapping of children, which he openly boasted about, apparently not understanding that rest of the world sees that as a form of genocide.

The only ones I've seen argue against calling Russian actions in Ukraine a genocide are those who sometimes accidentally use Russian phrases when writing in English, that is, the denial is emotional, not fact-based.

I think that this all boils down to "The tooling sucks".

None of the SPA problems mentioned are specific to SPA, they're specific to current toolsets.

> If people submit primarily their own stuff, our software eventually starts classifying the account as "promotional" and starts filtering the posts.
People are totally welcome to submit their own work—that's great—but to use HN as intended, they should do that as part of a diverse set of submissions on unrelated/interesting things.

- From HN’s moderation

You should comment on posts and submit other things you find interesting. Submitting your own stuff should be a small part of how you use the site. (I suspect this classification is done based on domain name, and all of your submissions are to YouTube. Since the posts are dead I can’t see the full URLs and check if they’re from the same channel.)

And just to clarify, I’m unaffiliated with HN moderation, but at a certain karma threshold you gain the ability to see (and vouch for) for dead posts.

> So most of regular infrastructure does not add anything to GDP, public schools for example.

But building a new school, or bridge, or factory, or repaving a road to fix potholes, does add to GDP.

GDP is a measure of economic activity, and having positive activity is generally a good thing. (Though some is not: if there's an oil spill, that will increase economic activity due to having to spend money on the clean-up measures.)

> Positive GDP is an important measure on Capitalist system but it does not reflect fully in the life of most poor people.

If you think poor people have a hard time with positive GDP, do you think they'll have a better time when it's negative?
>This may lead Indians to question: if the NSA can hack, why can't we?

So it's really straightforward, the Indian government can hack within the established global norms for spying, which they do. What isn't allowed to happen is NSA contractors losing their contract and pivoting to corporate espionage. There's no double standard here.
Totally. They should allow anyone, even those with no income, to come to their country and use their services for nothing in return. We can see how well that's worked in the US.
A completely open-source AI Wearable device like Avi’s Tab, Rewind’s pendant, and Humane’s Pin!

Not only is it open-source, where you can own your data and switch between foundation models, but you can actually set it up today, not in a few months (oh, and it's cheaper!)

The setup is also quite easy:

a simple supabase instance for vector db, authentication, and compute functions connected either to OpenAI or your own Ollama server running somewhere

A nextJS app (with native support with CapacitorJS)

I think he's fundamentally right even if he's wrong about certain details.

SPA create a polarization between devs whereby they're either front end or backend. Full stack devs are slowed down compared to tools like Hotwire/Turbo, Liveview, HTMX, etc.. Furthermore you need a huge stack of tooling to make pages work and lots of javascript code needs to be downloaded to make most standard SPAs work today. Not to mention having to render html on the backend in a slower and more complicated manner than using any of the more recent enhancements of HTML that provide caching, high speed download out of the box.
I think these are all minor quirks that can be addressed in some ways. The biggest "quirk" of PR is that you tend to get coalition governments, which isn't always so easy to strategize on as a voter.

The paper states that this is indeed the case, and also cites previous proposals along similar lines:

> Academic researchers have drawn inspiration from the cake-cutting problem to propose processes
for fairer redistricting. While this logic has inspired several redistricting proposals (Alexeev and Mixon
2019; Benadè, Procaccia, and Tucker-Foltz 2023; Brams 2020; Ely 2019; Landau, Reid, and Yershov 2009;
Pegden, Procaccia, and Yu 2017), none has addressed implementation across the full range of U.S. states
and electoral contexts using real-world data. The complexity of previous proposals also precludes real-
world applications or even simulation using modern computing techniques.
Watching it a few days ago for the first time, I was taken aback myself by the beautiful and detailed environment/world. Not at all what I was expecting from a seemingly B-grade budget 1999 show.
> Clusters of minority populations tend to not get as much representation, because they are but a small voice in a bigger ocean of voices.

This would be true if not for gerrymandering. Look at minority populations in states like Texas and Alabama and then look at the distribution of state and federal representatives. These voters are packed and cracked and would have a greater voice in a proportional system.

> A lack of community ties, as representatives are representing a broader geography, the representative is less likely to know the names, places, and small cultural quirks associated with the communities they represent.

My house rep lives 100 miles away from me in a town with very different demographics than mine. I am very confident that he does not know the cultural quirks associated with my community, except that he thinks that we are all cultural marxists indoctrinating children to be communist heathens.
Also in this realm, for Roku there is https://github.com/iBicha/playlet which works great when hooked up to my self-hosted Invidious instance.
I just don’t see value in original ideas. IMO ideas are statistical outcomes that are bound to cowme to muktiple people, typically with ever-increasing audiences and likelihood as the world advances.

So there may some some first mover advantage in being lucky enough to be (among) the first to have an idea, but first mover itself is of debatable advantage.

Help me see why you think an original idea can be priceless?
I think patents are better overall for society as it encourages rapid disclosure of new ideas and applications, instead of people withholding information because they are worried of being copied after they go to market.

As an aside, there are plenty of inventions that were developed or rediscovered long after they were technologically feasible. The whole Middle Ages occurred because we forgot how to do things they knew how to do in ancient times and never documented, like how to use concrete. Other things were just never thought of until much later, like the analog phonograph could have been created in ancient times but no one tried running a pin over a grooved surface.

Literally none of the aspects of your statement are accurate. This report revised all the recent reports upwards. Pay is growing faster than inflation. Participation increases almost monotonically since the onset of the pandemic and for some demographic groups stands at record highs.

Total labor participation rate is purely driven by generational demographics. Boomers have largely passed out of their working years, but they forgot to die, so total labor force participation falls.

Prime age participation is as high as it's ever been.

It’s a percentage increase so the vastly lower price per kWh of solar remains. Which is why everyone wants to use Solar to charge batteries, but nobody suggests that for nuclear even though it has similar issues just at different times of the day.

Also, when given the option your better off reducing nuclear as it does have fuel costs.
They don't want pretenders. They want people who are going to be productive and bring something to the country. They're not looking for "backpackers," they're looking for well paid professionals who will spend money and also conform better (these people would hire people to do paperwork, translate, etc., rather than drain local resources.)

People may not agree with the above, but that's what they want, and I can't blame them for wanting good for their country.
> Do not do this, its not a personal device.

Agreed, but I knew many devs in my career who mix personal stuff into work hardware. Maybe its just spotify/pandora, maybe some HR thing they needed their personal gmail to make it easier.

This included "senior" and other levels, it isn't just ppl out of college.
I don't know about the Apple Watch but there's a handheld personal EKG called Kardia (https://kardia.com) that works well. You hold the ends of the device and place the bottom on your knee (on bare skin) and take an EKG. You can easily fit this thing in your pocket.

I think our cardiologist worked with them on developing the device and we use it to take EKGs and remotely send them to the clinic. I think it's sensitive enough they can use it to look for stuff like this, but I also think LongQT is tricky enough to detect it just may not always show up. Maybe you could do a series of EKGs over a period of time and send them all in or something.

Scuba is a wonderful data visualisation tool
I have been looking for a tool like scuba, which I used it at my time at Facebook. The amount of data you could slice and dice without breaking a sweat was amazing.

Are there alternatives for this out in the open?
It’s a supply and demand problem, but it’ll take years to play out. Too many people are locked into 30-year mortgages with 26-28 years left at 2-3% interest. They’ll basically never sell (barring a major issue like having to move for a job after layoff or a divorce). So the supply of housing is much lower than normal all across the country. In some areas new construction can pick up some of that slack, but new construction is just getting into swing after a huge drop early in the pandemic.
> they should be providing a less arduous path to citizenship for people who can and will work those jobs, and a way for those people to do things the right way

The problem with this approach is that it would go a long way toward solving a set of problems, which would neuter their political effectiveness.
