Flint is not the only one. Parts of Chicago have very low quality tap water, as do other cities.

In my view, the problem is that we have no chance of upgrading any infrastructure in the US ever. Consider that most tax dollars go to the Federal government and go to wars and entitlements.

The small bit of tax dollars left for local governments, the ones who would need to undertake infrastructure renewal projects locally, is simply nowhere near enough to fix the problem.

The same problem exists in many domains. Roads covered in potholes, power grid unsuitable for installing superchargers, last mile broadband owned by monopoly players with no incentive to improve upon it, long lines at government offices and months of wait time for things as simple as building permits, property values decimated by failing school systems, and polluting industries grandfathered in and allowed to pollute in unconscionable ways.

"having to use a web service to view you stack trace"

This is just not a downside that matters for this usage scenario. It's almost the same story as minifying your frontend JS bundle, uploading source maps to Sentry, then using Sentry to view an unminified stack trace from a user's browser. The user was never going to view that stack trace anyway, and I am not bothered by having to use Sentry to view it - I never would have seen it at all otherwise.

I did read a very thorough sample of the document. When I'm trying to find an actual "order" / "rule" / whatever, I'd be drawn to something like

> V. "REPORT AND ORDER: OPEN INTERNET RULES"

on page 264 and figure that might be the order. But all throughout that section it constantly has paragraphs that just contain language that obviously isn't an order / ruling / regulation, like on page 265:

> The Internet serves as a cornerstone for free expression, fostering a diverse and inclusive digital space where individuals can share ideas, opinions, and information without undue influence or interference. It promotes the exchange of diverse perspectives, ultimately enriching society by exposing individuals to a wide range of thoughts and experiences. As the Supreme Court noted in 1997, the Internet enables any person to “become a town crier with a voice that resonates farther than it could from any soapbox.”

That's not a rule, that's just talking about stuff in general. When I read the FTC document about non-compete, it has hundred of pages like this, but then at the end of the document it has a clear section of legalese that contains the actual technical content of the rule. This document from the FCC does not have any section like that -- every section is mostly non-binding descriptive language, and I'm having trouble figuring out what, precisely, this ruling / order enacts, because this document spends most of its time justifying the action rather than actually enacting.

Sat in a hospital room with a relative for two weeks and saw staff repeatedly violate compliance directives in order to provide timely care. They clearly weren't being provided the resources needed to do so.

> For consumers who qualify for means-tested government benefits, the state law requires ISPs to offer "broadband at no more than $15 per month for service of 25Mbps, or $20 per month for high-speed service of 200Mbps," the ruling noted. The law allows for price increases every few years and makes exemptions available to ISPs with fewer than 20,000 customers.

Okay, so they're either going to make the application process an extremely painful experience so nobody will want to go through it, or make a ton of shell companies where each one is dealing with less than 20k customers.
Farmers have carpeted huge swathes of prime Central Valley land with serried ranks of almond trees. The annual budding of this sought-after nut and its burgeoning pollination needs means up to roughly nine out of every 10 commercial honeybee hives must be sent here from all corners of the U.S.

In addition to points made by others here, I wonder also about our general drop in bees and other insects.

I am astonished this one crop hogs so many resources and I don't know how to feel about it. I like almonds and would like to someday learn to make homemade marzipan like my mother made when I was a child (sweetened almond paste, basically).

Almonds get vilified for their water use in California and, meanwhile, people are also hating on the meat industry and promoting veganism. It seems to me nuts are an important part of a vegetarian diet and should be even more important to a vegan diet.

Historically, US courts have declared that giving a password is proof that you control the given asset and that this can be incriminating.

In practice, juries will take a refusal to divulge a password as evidence of guilt, the cops will use it as an excuse for even greater brutality, the FBI is perfectly willing to hold you without trial for years on end, and in most cases they don't need it anyway because everything lives on someone else's computer and they're perfectly willing to hand your data over if they haven't already. Furthermore, because the defense is founded on the principle that the password serves as evidence that you owned the encrypted data, if the prosecution is able to prove that you owned the encrypted data in any other way, that protection goes away.

"Audit" has a specific meaning in the legal and accounting worlds, especially with respect to financial institutions.

Circle is not audited. It merely has Deloitte review its claims related to USDC reserves.

Similarly, Coinbase is not audited. They merely have their cash reserves reviewed.

No, it's not the specific policy. It's the general feeling that there's no representation at all happening. And yes, people would certainly would want to tear down the elites that don't even bother to listen what their subjects want - it's exactly how it happened all over history, once the elites forget the population exists and has needs, the revolution is brewing in one form or another.

> Do you think "owning the liberals" is a completely made up thing

No, I don't think it's completely made up. I think it's by far not the main driver, and claiming like everything the right does, or even most significant driver for what the right does is this is nonsense.

> "owning the conservatives", a phrase nobody uses nor seemingly aspires to

A brief search (not using Google since their results are garbage now) provides ample proof otherwise. But my point is that spite in not a primary motivation neither for the right nor for the left. Since the right is by its nature more reactionary (I don't use it here as pejorative but as a description of action caused by another action), their actions can looks spiteful in more cases, but that's not the primary motivation, whatever the forum trolls say. For the trolls, on both sides, yes, this is a primary motivation, sure, and they obviously exist, but they are not the main or the only force by far.

They could burn 200% of their savings and not make a dent: there would be no trying to save the company, most likely they'd just close up shop. For example, here's Tim Cook talking about the depth of China's labor pool in tooling engineers[1]. Basically saying that in the US, as an example, you could gather all the tooling engineers in the country and maybe fill a room. In China you could fill multiple football fields. For manufacturers, decoupling from that talent pool would take a multi-generation government-backed effort to train a minimal amount of domestic labor. It's not going to happen in a couple election cycles.

I don't know what the costs are but my point is more that its setting price for a for-profit entity. It gets sticky because I don't know NY state law and perhaps these groups have lobbied for getting regions where you are unable to compete as n independent and with that defacto monopoly they should play by any additional rules.

I would just assume that if you want to provide broadband service to low-income that the government would be making up for some of the lost revenue.

In other words, they do it because they want to, not because they need to. No doubt they've got endless replicators on Earth. There is no economy, anything you want or need is just replicated into existence. There is an abundance of goods, virtually infinite supply, thus no need to economize. In Star Trek humanity is a galaxy spanning civilization so even land isn't scarce. Incredibly, they don't even seem to have artificial scarcity in the form of copyright since numerous episodes show characters freely copying works and data from their computers. Absolutely utopic.

Social standing remains scarce. Obviously some people will be captains of the Enterprise while the vast majority will not. That will probably always be true. It ultimately matters little though. A humanity that can just replicate goods into existence has absolutely evolved beyond silly things like capitalism and communism. This is a humanity that is fully liberated from toil, a humanity that is free to enjoy themselves and to pursue their dreams. In that utopic setting, we watch the exploits of the humans who just happened to choose to explore the galaxy, in the startship enterprise. They pursue their dream with inexhaustible curiosity and incorruptible integrity, precisely because they have no other concerns.
The current popularity of the async stuff has its roots in the classic "c10k" problem. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem)

A perception among some that threads are expensive, especially when "wasted" on blocking I/O. And that using them in that domain "won't scale."

Putting aside that not all of use are building web applications (heterodox here in HN, I know)...

Most people in the real world with real applications will not hit the limits of what is possible and efficient and totally fine with thread-based architectures.

Plus the kernel has gotten more efficient with threads over the years.

Plus hardware has gotten way better, and better at handling concurrent access.

Plus async involves other trade-offs -- running a state machine behind the scenes that's doing the kinds of context switching the kernel & hardware already potentially does for threads, but in user space. If you ever pull up a debugger and step through an async Rust/tokio codebase, you'll get a good sense for what the overhead here we're talking about is.

That overhead is fine if you're sitting there blocking on your database server, or some HTTP socket, or some filesystem.

It's ... probably... not what you want if you're building a game or an operating system or an embedded device of some kind.

An additional problem with async in Rust right now is that it involves bringing in an async runtime, and giving it control over execution of async functions... but various things like thread spawning, channels, async locks, etc. are not standardized, and are specific per runtime. Which in the real world is always tokio.

So some piece of code you bring in in a crate, uses async, now you're having to fire up a tokio runtime. Even though you were potentially not building something that has anything to do with the kinds of things that tokio is targeted for ("scalable" network services.)

So even if you find an async runtime that's optimized in some other domain, etc (like glommio or smol or whatever) -- you're unlikely to even be able to use it with whatever famous upstream crate you want, which will have explicit dependencies into tokio.
You can thank the pervasive advertising of services like NordVPN and their owned subsidiaries for that. Loads of people have been advertised to thinking that using a VPN is "more secure", but this new colloquial understanding of a VPN is quite different from the true definition. I've had to have talks with numerous friends and colleagues dissuading them from purchasing these, including saving someone from a multi-hundred dollar NordVPN subscription because they wanted to be more "secure".

As an aside, viewing an HTTP website over VPN is indeed useful when the threat actor is the public WiFi provider, but it doesn't if your threat actor is the VPN provider, or in between the VPN provider and the hosting provider. I'll cede that this is beyond the scope of the situation talked about in the article though.
C++ classes with inheritance are a pretty good match for objects in a 3D (or 2D) world, which is why C++ became popular with 3D game programmers.
It's a terrible argument though. If I ran a bank that literally only did money laundering, and I applied your logic, it wouldn't matter because, hey, others have done it more in aggregate.

Even then it's like, if I killed someone, I could say, well Americans in general have killed X many people, so I'm certainly less kill-y than Americans.

Yeah, one only need look at the multi-billionaires focused on growing their wealth instead of solving the many easily solvable problems of humanity like clean water and starvation.
People at the low end are more price sensitive than people at the high end. It makes a ton of sense to me, tbh. The people buying the low end models might not buy at the low end if it gets too high, but people buying pricey high end models aren't going away. Anyway, it's speculation. I trust Apple to have figured out how to make the most money from their market. But maybe they're wrong! Honestly hard to know.

Yeah I was thinking that might be the case as well and I can see that argument making sense too. This especially makes sense if they get assigned regions with zero competition.

Anyone else sick of having your 4G/5G ATT, T-Mobile or Verizon service blocked when inside a hotel, a concert venue to even a small town (National Harbor DC .. a lot of businesses block your service) all so the business and or businesses around you force you to use a their Wi-fi network; collect and make money off your data. How is that even legal??

My examples in The Flamingo Hotel in Vegas you have to connect to their wi-fi while inside the hotel. Forget about trying to work remotely there and use your 5G mobile hotspot.

At the Keseya Center in Miami ... at a recent concert there they had gates with ticket takers way out of from the front of the door. You walk up to them and they say get your ticket ready and you try but nope your ATT/TMobile/etc service is blocked you can only access getting your tickets via connecting to their wifi. My 5G worked fine until i got close to those non-ticket takers who prodded me to connected to the venue's wi-fi.

National Harbor (just outside of DC) .. inside the gaylord hotel and more so inside Burger Fi and others close by both my friend's Verizon and my ATT with full bars were blocked .. had to connect to their wifi.

Total B.S. and this stuff needs to be outlawed!!! I pay for service and if its readily available (full bars) I better have access or your paying me for time you are blocking me from using it.
