>whatever the cost to subsidise education (including subsidised student loans) right now

It sounds like you may not understand how the system works. It doesn’t cost the government anything, with the exception of the loan repayment pause surrounding COVID.

I know the simple solutions like “Just give away money” can be seductive, but IMO they generally don’t work well in complex and nuanced problems. People aren’t rational actors by and large, and it’s a mistake to assume they can be modeled as such in many cases.
I know this is a downvote-worthy comment, but I have to say I feel like people who don't like Elon Musk think the alternative is someone just like him but with all his flaws removed.

The overwhelming alternative is people who never make anything advance and talk like this:

Russia and China cannot deliver more firepower per USD. Any such impression is because Russia/China only fights near-shore wars, rather than the expeditionary wars of the US.

Because the US fights global wars, it focuses on quality over quantity, as logistic costs start to dominate the production costs of military power.

If China tried to fight some Iraq war, it'll be just as expensive as the US effort. Even soldiers have to be paid far more in offensive expeditionary wars than defensive homeland wars, just to maintain morale.

One exception is mercenary groups like Wagner, they are actually extremely cost effective. That's because of much more flexible management structure, using private enterprise structures instead of rigid formal militaries, works 100 times better for chaotic low intensity warfare.

Things are being sold in the US that should not be sold.

US has created businesses out of Universities and Health meaning you can buy things that should be offered to you by the state; people need more money to stay afloat in the US, more jobs sure are going to get you more GDP.

And if we go regional in EU, I bet you can have a better life in Portugal or Greece than Alabama, Mississippi or pretty much the whole South.
As opposed to the US, where the heirs who don't work live in mansions, living on the handouts of expropriated surplus labor time of those who do work and create wealth.
> whenever an organization exercises the rights that a permissive license gives them there is s big outcry ([1], [2] are just two examples

Both examples you cited are not related to exercising rights given under a permissive license: instead they are the upstream maintainers deciding to change the terms of future releases.

Probably the only major notable example is how Apple used some of FreeBSD's code in Mac OS X, and even that was kind of just a minute insignificant portion of it. If you notice, FreeBSD was neither threatened nor killed by the act.
Explanation: The Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022 caused European politicians and population to understand that Russia does not have positive intentions with its collaboration with other nations. This the influence Russia is able to have (at least overtly).
Its a reasonable assumption that the person in question here didn't think it through if they're filing complaints over the firing. If you disagree with the company you work for and choose to protest disruptively at the office, and know that could lead to being fired, why file a complaint when that happens? And when filing the complaint, is the goal really to get your job back?

At least for me, I can't speak for others here, its a combination of either not thinking it through or purposely making a spectacle out of themselves just to make a spectacle. For better or worse, I don't have much patience for people making a loud show of themselves and appearing to act irrationally (ex: protesting the company you work for, acknowledging you may get fired, getting fired, then filing a complaint presumably to get your job back?).

Some tech giants of the US are legitimate technology giants, others are just land grabbers that do something simple at scale(i.e. sharing status updates with peers).

EU lacks on the second one, also its the one that has all the controversy.

Yet, I wouldn't downplay the USA's hard tech capabilities and talent pool. IMHO the US is special, as it doesn't have the baggage from the history that spans thousands of years on the record.

EU is the old neighbourhood that once had all the cool new stuff but now is focused on preserving what they accumulated, life is good there but not much is happening. The USA is the newly built neighbourhood that got hip and trendy and has all the new cool stuff. China is this neighbourhood that once was great, lost its lure but lately it is up and coming with some of the coolest new stuff being there.
I don't think it's improper management, I think management knows exactly what product they were putting out.

The problem is marketing and severely exaggerating what these devices are and can do thanks to all of the noise about "AI" recently.

This is a clear miscommunication (or intentional miscommunication) internally about what this thing actually is.

I think it's fascinating to watch what the issues/complaints are. I'm in no way saying you're complaining but I think looking at what people point out are the issues is a great measure of progress.

Here we're looking at video, of high quality individual frames, where the inconsistencies are maybe clear and maybe not - but compared to craion (around the time of dalle): https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lcoitxKbw_0/maxresdefault.jpg it's wild how that's changed. And this capability was a vast improvement over things before (at least ones that weren't fixed goals, the GAN approach to faces in headshots was very lifelike before this)
The big problem with this is that the EU has a lot of very different economies, at different levels of development, significant variations in policies at the national level. If you look at the breakdown in figure two west and north EU economies have been stagnant, the south has declined hugely, while the east has performed really well.
I had wondered why cars often had so original design character, which I can explain with this example. I was at an auto show where a couple was looking at an Oldsmobile Aurora (pictured [0]). It's an innocuous design with the rear lights being the distinctive/only stand-out styling feature. I could overhear them both going back and forth, "I like the car... but those rear lights..."--a lost sale. Later model years appear to use split rear lights.

That's when I realized how industrial design has to eliminate "reasons not to buy" often much more so than generate "reasons to buy". A bland design offends everyone about the same amount or less, an opinionated/ornate design offends some much more than that base amount. So in the end, with mass manufacturing and globalization, it means needing to appeal to greater masses and less ornamentation. I mean if it was my job to draft the streetlights, I wouldn't want to deal with a redesign because of pushback on artistic choices. I probably just want to get done on designing more resilient city garbage bins, etc.

If you mean provinces in Canada's context, then no, the number of provinces does not fit on one hand. In fact it barely fits on two, and that's only if you don't count the territories as well.

A bigger factor is that the Canadian prohibition was only controlled at the federal level in the first place, like all Canadian criminal law, so only the federal government had to legislate to change it. The provinces have however done lots of subsequent legislation to regulate the details (e.g. distribution channels and the exact minimum age limit) in a wide variety of ways.
In my experience, if there are no conflicts to resolve, then merge and rebase have near equivalent UX. Just a single command and git handles the rest.

However, if there are conflicts, I've always found them to be far easier to resolve during a merge than a rebase. That's not to say it's always easy, but at least with merge you only need to resolve them once. With rebase, you resolve the conflict, then have to resolve it again when git tries to apply the next change, and so on. Sometimes you even need to resolve conflicts bacwards if you're reordering commits. Much of this can be mitigated with git rerere, but if you're averse to merge, you probably don't want to learn about rerere either.
Yes - the whole MAC/ARP/IP parts of the typical IP stack are a legacy mess and should be sorted out.
> Does it mean that posting a link on Mastodon generates 36704 requests to that URL?

No, it's a ratio of bytes for traffic . They're counting size of 1 request to post to Mastodon "a single roughly ~3KB POST", vs the total size of content served from GETing the url in that post.

IDK how valid this metric is, but that's what they're saying.

Agreed. Also just so you know, invaluable is one of those weird words that is intensified with in-, not negated. It means even more valuable, not worthless
It definitely affects these figures, because they are filtered out of the income statistics. Just one of the many ways figures are skewed.
Another is the low-paid jobs done without proper employee registration by immigrants.
I agree with you in principle. Every time someone brings this kind of thing up, I'm also reminded of how odd it is that the country flanked by oceans and mountains to the east and west and two staunch allies to the north and south, is the one that's apparently better equipped for war from an economic perspective.

People who just have an axe to grind with systemd really don't like when you point out that it's incredibly modular and follows the unix philosophy.

I think what people mean to say but don't have the words for is that systemd is an East coast school of thought project and folks prefer "worse is better" style tools.
The problem with speculative decoding is that there are hardly any models that support it and adding support takes extra GPU time. If speculative decoding also improves planning performance, then it will be more readily adopted.
I don't see how that relates to my point. My point is that repercussions are happening to one side of the issue: those opposing genocide and apartheid. Two things I was sure of everyone could agree on are some of the most horrendous crimes against humanity you can commit.

The genocide has been ongoing for multiple decades, Israel routinely bombs civilians in Gaza, and any Palestinians living in Israel have essentially no political rights and effectively fewer property rights than other people. They have color coded passports and car license plates, and are easy to target by Zionists. Zionists get tried in civil court for committing crimes, and Palestinians living on the e.g. West Bank get tried in criminal court for any offense. An offense can include walking on a certain off-limit street if you are a Palestinian (which is not off-limit to Israelis or tourists).

Israel has killed so many more people than any Palestinian resistance forces that were engaged in October 7th (Hamas, communists, etc.), so trying to center the discussion on October 7th is fairly ridiculous.

Look at these charts and tell me with a straight face that Palestinians are the violent ones:

I had seen reports that there were people disrupting others trying to work in the office. I also expect that those protesting weren't talking about the weather, they would have been raising the issues they are there to protest.

Call it what you want I guess, but that is IMO stopping work and engaging in political debate.

I'm not sure why you reach for a straw man argument about air or mixed race couples, neither of those are relevant here at all and just make your argument weaker.

Edit: also to be clear, I'm not sure who the "you guys" you're referring to are and I'd rather not be lumped in with some larger group for my opinion on one specific situation. I'm also not looking to be angry about anything and am in no way angry about this. I can have opinions without it throwing my mood out of whack.
I’m a big fan of render - I’ll echo the sentiment of others until you have PMF, you shouldn’t be trying to avoid cloud lock in.
Another is that people working longer hours tend to be less productive per hour. It pretty much balances out in many jobs - more hours per day often ends up as the same output per day.
You just have no idea. We have banks run by the same families since before the US was formed. We have whole sectors of economy structured to protect inherited privilege and prevent upward mobility.

I looked at Citizen briefly during my search.

I don’t think they have anything that solves the non-standard time zone problem.

At $500, it’s moving into a market segment where I’m going to care if something happens to it. I want to be carefree on vacation.

In this particular case, the Casio is unapologetically quartz. I don’t think I’m settling here, and it’s not a cheap watch pretending to be a more expensive watch. It’s a cheap beater watch that also happens to have a world time function. With an analog watch, I’d feel like I was settling for quartz… unless it’s a Spring Drive or F.P. Journe.

At home I have some nice automatics that I general wear. For these, I prefer a very simple aesthetic, a no-date dial is ideal. Citizen tends to have very busy designs.
MongoDB did never care about Open Source (as a movement) - their CEO was always very open - they used Open Source as a freemium strategy (or cheap marketing) so there is no surprise they moved to proprietary license once they achieved substantial market position
The US is no different. In the EU they are countries, in the US they are called states.
The default shell on macOS has been zsh for over 4 years now, and they keep it up-to-date.
And if it was completely deliberate but they simply regretted the decision, then they would not be able to revoke the licenses they'd already given out, i.e. that version would be essentially out in the wild and under GPL forever. But future versions could be closed-source again, assuming Adobe retained all the copyright to their code.

Cyclic Is Shutting Down
I feel like this will be an enternal debate on HN. I also think there’s no need to come up with a definitive answer. The EU and US have fundamentally different perspectives on a bunch of things that results in a very similar but mildly different society. Trying out different ideas is good. Variation is good.
> But thank you for pressing a button.

Why the passive-aggressive tone? Especially when OP shows explicit enthusiasm in making his fork active and valuable for the community.

What is bothering you with OP's endeavour that you need to make him feel bad about it?
> do not attack us or else you will be nuked

This sentiment has been expressed a few times in this thread now. Is it really true?

From my understanding nuclear war at any scale will be devastating for the entire planet, not just the aggressor. So the threat of nuclear retaliation hinges on the aggressor believing the defender to be either be suicidal a or mad.

The default assumption of people being rational means it should be quite safe to attack despite talks of nuclear retaliation.
There are two problems here:

1. The "It's Foss" site is designed somewhat carelessly, where many things that could be static aren't, and so it goes under with even a bit of load.

2. Mastodon link preview is badly designed and not spec-compliant. Because the link previews are not triggered by a user request they should respect robots.txt (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21738), or they should start being triggered by a user request (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23662).
People like you, is why Europe passed on global leadership to the USA.

Ukraine can be burning on your front door, and you still think EU is safe. Guess what, EU is safe only because of NATO. Russia has attacked basically every neighboring country in Europe that is not in NATO.

Nukes don't work against salami slicing. Russia takes Estonia tomorrow, are you going to throw a nuke against Russia? No, you'll won't risk annihilation for Estonia, so you'll ignore it. So the next day Russia takes Latvia. And so on so forth. The only way of fighting salami slicing is applying proportional response, which requires a conventional army.

Also, Ukraine living standards isn't very high right now, regardless what their PPP is, and getting conquered by Russia, means you get used as battle-slaved for the next conquest. This snowball tactic was innovated by the Mongols, using the conquered people as cannon fodder for the next war.
This was very nicely put. Thanks. I don’t think we need different terms just because the target languages are different (higher level or whatever).
The problem is that we are at the whim of tech giants anyway, they're just not ours. I.e. not having an European Google doesn't mean my phone is running an OS from some European non-giant, it's running Android. How is this not a weakness with respect to at least having a local alternative?
Fortunately no, I think my total out of pocket costs were around $10K or so; I don't remember the details too much because of chemo brain. We had pretty good health insurance through my wife's company.
Well, the real crime there was blatant tax evasion.

It always astounds me what these kinds of people think they can get away with. In this case, a guy going by the name of "Bitcoin Jesus" reported that he didn't own any bitcoins, and expected the US government to take that declaration at face value. Trying to defraud the US government in such a blatant way as to insult its intelligence usually doesn't end well.

Show HN: A Kotlin DSL for WebAssembly
The initial motivation for this project was just to see how far one can take Kotlin DSLs.

That said, it might be useful for situations where one needs to generate Wasm code in a general Kotlin context.

In a way, this project constitutes a Wasm "macro assembler" with the Kotlin as the "macro language" -- at the price of an "unusual" syntax.
