Nah. Real time gaming only transfers a minimal amount of bytes over the line so in reality your several hours of FPS fragging is only like 30 megabytes over the line. It's less than 1% of typical household internet usage. When the pipes are as thick as they are these days there's no excuse not put those gaming packets at the beginning of whatever throughput priorities there are. The bittorrent traffic doesn't care about waiting an extra 30 ms and the Netflix traffic is buffered so even a 2000 ms lag won't change the experiance in anyway. Amusingly all day of gaming (minus any updates) would be less than 10% of one episode of a show in 4K quality.

Gamers have no idea what they are talking about. They will blame the ISP, the gaming company, the "servers", the "net code", or anything other than themselves. They will tie up your support lines until you just give them this little win so you're not wasting all your money listening to them complain.
The thing I took away from this, and seemed more than just a slight increase for one of the categories, was that people with zero adverse experiences are very rarely ‘happy all the time’.
Ok, you’re right, sandboxed isn’t the right word; my bad.

However, it’s more isolated than what currently exists, even if it’s not totally isolated, and it’s an effort to prevent abuse, rather than doing nothing.

When progressive "solutions" are implemented, if their success is measured empirically at all, they usually just make things worse. See e.g. the outcome of most educational reforms of the past 20 years, or the attempts in America's most progressive cities to solve homelessness by incentivizing and rewarding homelessness.

Not surprising, a lot of profitable rackets depend on those issues remaining unsolved. What would e.g. all the homelessness experts do, who collect billions annually to hold conferences where they agree with each other on settler-colonialism and the newest genders, if they were to actually solve homelessness?

Climate change is being solved, but it's being solved through technological innovation, not masturbatory discourse.
"The saddest part about it, though, is that the garbage books don’t actually make that much money either. It’s even possible to lose money generating your low-quality ebook to sell on Kindle for $0.99. The way people make money these days is by teaching students the process of making a garbage ebook. It’s grift and garbage all the way down — and the people who ultimately lose out are the readers and writers who love books."

The 2024 FPL figure is $15060 + 5380 per additional person family member past the first. $12k/head/year comes up a bit short for an individual, but it's not that far off—expenses involved in holding down a job probably actually account for the difference anyway.

It also becomes clearly tenable with households of more than 1. Supporting a family of 2-3 on $24k-36k is like, yep, I've met married international grad students. Of course they'll spring for supplemental income where available, but as a baseline it is tenuously "enough".

It's telling that you seemingly only think of extreme cases when it comes to conflict resolution, and not all the mundane conflicts kids get into, eg arguing over who gets to play with a toy, arguing over who's whose friend etc, teasing that doesn't rise to the level of bullying, or kids interacting with/being watched by someone who is both meaningfully older than themselves and is also too young for the kid to acknowledge them as having authority (eg an older cousin), or teenagers arguing over/teasing over crushes etc.

These are all things kids need to have the freedom to learn to resolve without a parent just jumping in all the time.

Such conflict resolution can come handy in adulthood for things like dealing with angry/complaining customers, miscommunications causing arguments, professional disagreements etc. I've seen so many people who are completely unable to do conflict resolution of any sort, everyone's always walking on eggshells around them knowing that any conflict is going to end up blowing up into full "Karen"-esque argument.
I'd love it if the government would throw resources at the problem, though. People act as if we're already flushing huge amounts of cash down the toilet of socialized benefits, but the fact is that the government has been extremely laissez-faire for decades. The midcentury boom was characterized by extensive intervention and public spending. There are much worse ways combat poverty than simply giving people public works jobs building the houses they need. Even direct cash transfers massively reduce the burden of poverty.
I feel we tend to coordinate movements to balance ourselves, specially with arms. In this case, the arms are independent from each other and are each firmly fixed to the table.

(b) it looks like Yeltsin was calling the shots by late* 1991 (I'm still a little disappointed Brexit didn't involve "Boris on a Tank" in Westminster), so we only need to pin the First Nagorno-Karabakh War and the South Ossetia War on Gorbi.

It's hilarious reading these posters fully convinced fast food is cheaper than cooking at home. Actually no it's sad because it shows the culinary poverty mindset so many people live with.

Buy a big package of hamburger buns and put it in the freezer if you must; it'll be fine for a while there. Thaw as you go when you want a burger: bread thaws in no time. Buy a large package of ground beef, super cheap, and segment it, re-wrap it, freeze it in amounts you know you will use when it is thawed. Want a burg? Water-thaw the meat, air-thaw the bun. Pickles are pickles and are always ready. Pre-made condiments last forever. Pull from your evolving collection of veggies OR make sure you swiped some toms and lettuce or whatever on your way home along with other ingredients for further meals because that's called planning ahead.

There, cheapest burgers you can possibly have, and better than fankenfood. It's just... organization.
I feel like this is a "1994 called ..." skit.

In all seriousness, while admittedly not fully understanding all of the policy details, I just don't understand how this gets sold, politically, it the current environment in the US. I can't imagine the average Republican voter supporting this, and for that matter can't imagine most Democrats supporting it either.
This would have been great for me to have around 25 years ago, when I wanted to mount a USB web cam in my bedroom window on the second floor and connect it to a computer in my basement. I was a dumb middle school kid and just spliced the usb wires onto Ethernet cable ends, and plugged them into the existing Ethernet run. That’s when I learned about maximum USB lengths the hard way, by frying some perfectly good hardware.
This is a lot messier than it needed to be. The Classic controller port uses a well-documented I2C protocol, so you just need to sacrifice a cheap extension cable or whatever and wire that in.

> And to people about to mention types in python: those are also checked at runtime.

They are not checked at runtime at all. Type declarations are only used for static analyzing tools and not by the runtime.

So types are checked BEFORE runtime by the tooling just like they would be in TypeScript or any other language that offers gradual typing.

Yes, the dynamic nature of Python does make type safety and certain performance optimizations very difficult but then again it is the dynamic nature that allows for the high productivity of the language. A static language would be far less ergonomic to use for the typical prototyping and explorative programming done in Python.
Yeah, that's not the case in the deep red states. The Republican party that's voting for Trump in my state this year is the same Republican party that threw the Tea Party because the Republicans weren't conservative enough. Same leadership, same constituents. And I'm not just talking general numbers, they're literally the same people.

Long-term Republicans are shocked not because their party suddenly and without warning became a populist vehicle but because the populist wave that fled the Democratic party during the civil rights era finally took over the party instead of just voting in their preferred old-school candidates.

This doesn't make sense. If your point is that global poverty is decreasing because people in China are moving from subsistence farming to factory jobs, then the people ultimately doing the "lifting" are the ones buying the products the Chinese factories are producing, i.e. not Chinese people.

But that point is a couple decades out of date by now and even then the situation was more complex than just "people in rich countries want cheap products, people in poor countries make them, therefore people in poor countries get richer, and people in rich countries get poorer".
If you could read past the first paragraph you would find:

> Although the term "antisemitism" did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is also applied to previous and later anti-Jewish incidents. Notable instances of antisemitic persecution include the Rhineland massacres in 1096; the Edict of Expulsion in 1290; the European persecution of Jews during the Black Death, between 1348 and 1351; the massacre of Spanish Jews in 1391, the crackdown of the Spanish Inquisition, and the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492; the Cossack massacres in Ukraine, between 1648 and 1657; various anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire, between 1821 and 1906; the Dreyfus affair, between 1894 and 1906; the Holocaust by Nazi Germany during World War II; and various Soviet anti-Jewish policies.

10-100 millisecond auctions have been proposed seriously. 30 seconds is pretty long. If you would like a counter-argument, the options markets essentially trade on an auction basis: every time someone* sends an order that crosses a spread, there's an auction that does price discovery of the security. That does not promote having narrow spreads or transparent prices - options markets have huge spreads even for very liquid products.

> If you are rich enough to think buying kidneys makes sense, I implore you to advocate for better health care which improves the odds of keeping your own original equipment from the manufacturer functioning adequately.

Congratulations on having a condition that gives you some control over whether you need an organ transplant in the future. I assume that nobody on HN cares whether you keep your own organs functioning, and nobody thinks you are a nutter just for "having opinions about the topic": they object to your declaration that they should prioritize not needing an organ transplant because of your values and the circumstances of your own life.

> Keeping people healthy is boring, doesn't really get tracked, no one cares.

That's a fun contrarian statement too. If only there was ever anything written about preventative health care and lifestyle improvements. Maybe you can publish the first book on it!
No, because the license. If you release code as FooOSS please will remain as FooOSS. With a CLA the company that owns it can also offer it as a different license. If you don’t sign the CLA, you can offer it as a different license…

But regardless I sell your code under FooOSS until the cows come home without paying anymore else a dime. If I couldn’t, then it wouldn’t be OSS. Now, depending on the FooOSS I might have to share any changes I make… but you cannot revoke my license to your’s.

To the best of my recollection I have once watched something because of the music composer.
Of course low IQ can cause poverty. Someone with below 70 IQ is going to have a much harder time finding gainful employment than someone with 100 IQ. A college degree is huge for escaping poverty, and the average US college graduate has an IQ of 113.

I agree that it's multivariate, and I'm open to the possibility that it is primarily another factor (although you haven't supported that claim), but it's absurd to conclude from that that low IQ does not cause poverty. People with learning disabilities have a much harder time finding success in the modern world, and I'm bewildered that I even have to say so.
The rich Republicans figured out the con in the 70's. Lure more non-rich people into your flock and you can eventually take control of Congress with a bloc you'd never be able to build with your own ilk. Then keep them sated by never delivering on promised reforms while blaming the other side.
If isn’t just vertical integration. It’s also abuse of monopoly power. I’m sure the DoJ won’t have any trouble showing how much market share TM/LN have.

I think the real issue is the limited supply of tickets to the most popular shows. Supply and demand dictates that the prices for these limited goods be very high, yet social norms discourage artists from charging the true market value for their tickets (fans will rebel against their favourite artist for perceived greed). So TM provides an effective reputation-laundering service to the artists and collects a hefty fee for it. If the DoJ were to win their case and succeed in breaking up the TM monopoly then I bet the extra revenue would go to some other ticket brokers, not to the artist or into consumers’ pockets.
> I can think of a few times that something previously expensive is suddenly made very cheap, and there's always a class of people that really don't do that well.

Obviously this will be somewhat true in the short term, but there is no reason these people can't just retrain and start doing something different.

> Unless you're talking about switching to an autocratic system where the elites can turn down cheap things in exchange for the long term benefits of local production.

It wouldn't have to be autocratic. For instance, our system is not an autocracy, yet we chose to move manufacturing to China. Not every system that makes decisions is autocratic. People could just as easily vote to do something democratically if they know it is in their own good.

But consider what is really happening in these places. They have an economic system which makes decisions about the allocation of resources. In response to the addition of new resources, these systems decided to decrease production of local resources below existing levels, and hence make people poorer as a result. The issue here is purely one of distribution and management. Suppose in the trivial case of food being dumped in Africa, said food was instead sold below market rates, and the income from this was used to subsidise farms to bring their outputs to the same price as the aid. Local manufacture remains worthwhile, prices decrease, and supply increases. Everyone benefits.

I don't think it should be crazy to envision an economic system stable enough to allow people to benefit when you give them things for free. Especially since in the future, everything will be produced for free by machines. At that point, I should like everyone to live in luxury, rather than for everyone to be poor.
Turns out that doesn't make much of a difference in the numbers, because even opt-out countries tend to ask permission from the next of kin and the refusal rates there are higher if the dead person hasn't actively opted in and told people they want it.

Fire insurance in California is moving towards control by a government-mandated cartel. All the insurance companies have to take partial ownership of the California FAIR plan company, and they share in its profits.

For what it's worth, they refer to themselves as a "syndicate".

CalFAIR charges 2-3x market rate premiums (for similar houses in the same area insured by the companies that own CalFAIR -- this is on top of charging more due to risk), and then refuses to pay out when your house is damaged, engages in lowballing, etc, etc.

Since all the insurance companies that are "competing" against them own stakes in it, the moral hazard should be obvious. Predictably, CalFAIR's market share has been rapidly increasing in recent years. They're supposed to be temporary insurance of last resort, but they've climbed to over 3% market share.
