Myopic views of demand assuming unlimited supply and no consideration to political and long term economical independence from a neighboring authoritarian communist regime pointing nuclear weapons at you threatening forced unification is divorced from reality.

So are you admitting that not banning a market just as big as the US from using TSMC would increase TSMC's revenue? If so, that's a good first step.

The fact that you think more demand doesn't increase revenue is just mind boggling.

Short term sales never negate long term consequences of golden handcuffs at the cost of freedom and democracy.

This has nothing to do with freedom and democracy. It has everything to do with the US wanting increase its competitiveness in high tech over China. It's all socioeconomics.

In my opinion, the US just wants to use Taiwan to suppress China. It doesn't actually care about Taiwan and its people. Trump seems to make it very clear.
It's not just you. The e always annoyed me. It's just... not right.

The logo as a whole is supposed to be fun, creative, and polished, but there's something dissonant and slightly abrasive about it.
I am not sure, definitely unheard of in my country. If you know of a country that does this (or maybe a state in the US, or just a city somewhere) I would like to know for the sake of restoring some faith in humanity.
If you see some post with a very bad title, you may send an email to dang hn@ycombinator.com and he may (or not) change it. It's a manual process, so try to use it only for very bad cases.

There are many, but I only found three with a weird use of "secret":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42031300 "The Secret Document That Transformed China (npr.org)" Perhaps a more descriptive title may be better. I don't have a good alternative. The recommendation is to pick a sentence from the article, the subtitle if possible, but not cherrypick the most shocking part. This article looks interesting an I don't remember a similar post.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42022938 "Icy moon of Uranus may have once hid watery secret (space.com)" I'd just drop "secret", but the title is not so bad and I've seen similar posts, so I'd ignore it to save dang a few keystrokes.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41982036 "The Secret School for the Best Founders (generalist.com)" I'd add "Avra:" and drop "best". (As a general rule I like to drop "best".)

Do you have 2 or 3 bad examples?
Dignity is only available if they are forced by starvation to be at some place they don't want to be (evidenced by them not just going there in the first place)? Doesn't sound like dignity.
YES, to the article in general - though many of the government systems which interact with these people are profoundly dysfunctional. At least around here - Michigan, USA.

For those who are intermittently homeless, due to mental health issues, and served by the public mental health systems - there seems to be no priority given to "find things that work for this client, then STICK TO THAT". Example - I've lost track of how many times a friend's niece has gone completely off the rails - because her latest gov't "psychiatrist" decided to switch her meds yet again, and she didn't like the new/different/worse side-effects.

There's also the issue of organized homeless encampments. NIMBY's and most of the government seem virulently opposed to those - even if well out of sight on low-value public land, and more orderly and safe than many traditional (but bottom-end poor) neighborhoods and housing complexes. Why? Does a "better" homeless encampment fail to provide enough boogeymen and government interactions and head-bashing opportunities for the politician and bureaucrats and cops?
I find even local LLMs like Llama can do a fair bit of retrocomputing, from BASIC to 6502 and Z80 assembly language. I doubt very much that they were specifically trained to do this; I think it just comes for free because the broad training these LLMs get from random text taken from the Internet contains this sort of stuff.
i was once on a solo road trip. I took a turn by chance and ended up near this lake and saw the Pando being talked about here. Talk about coincidence!

Before I was a software engineer I worked, full time, as a financial counselor helping people do pretty much the same thing. I used to do other things as well like housing and bankruptcy counseling which I don't do anymore.

You could get certified as a financial advisor if you want to give investment advice or look for some financial coaching training programs.
Only in newly built out places that didn't have preexisting and sufficiently expansive local governments that could be utilized for such tasks. Those municipalities simply passed local ordinances, many/most of which are still on the books and continue to be used for arbitrary enforcement exactly as envisioned the better part of a century ago.

More demand will drive up prices. More demand will provide incentives to build even more fabs, which will further increase revenue.

Also, TSMC's fabs are not at max capacity. It's only 70-80%.
I don’t know why people tie themselves in knots over this. If you have money and you want to give it to a homeless person then do it.
You can always spin up several services locally or if you have a development cluster run the service you are working on locally against development services.
It isn't really accepted anywhere, but there is a group of people who will make it their goal in life to get up to any shady practice to try to shortchange or dodge their local host polity to their ultimate advantage. The tax dodge, if you will, becomes something of a pass time and point of pride for them.

This becomes more difficult as more tax authorities better integrate with one another, which admittedly, is something many in in the U.S. fidget over, even if it is realized that the need for it is almost entirely a byproduct of these types of people's actions that necessitate that happening.
I wonder, what are the limits to that lack of care, and would it persist after some reflection?

Presumably if you were walking past a dying person, you would call an ambulance to save their life. (Perhaps not, given your other answers!) Now what if you knew with high probability that they'd die without a little money for a shelter? Now what if you knew with high probability that they'll have a really rough night - get beaten up, raped, mugged etc... - without a little money for a shelter?

My personal experience is that the vast majority of humans have a strong innate sense of compassion for others. But many of them have it beaten out of them by social and financial pressures.
Added mirror links.
When I was homeless I knew where to get food. I had a place to sleep safer than the shelter. No one was going to give me a job. What I needed was money to buy a coffee and sit and charge my phone and get out of the weather for a few hours. To buy aspirin and clean socks, cash to wash my clothes and sleeping bag. Toothpaste, shoelaces. Just a dozen little things that cost a few dollars I didn't have.
I was diagnosed and successfully treated for HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer in 2023. My treatment results were almost perfect, from a clinical perspective. I had transoral robotic surgery to remove the tumors in my mouth / throat, neck dissection to remove cancerous and non-cancerous lymph nodes, and radiation to treat the area after cancer was found to have escaped the lymph nodes.

If I were 10-ish years younger, I wouldn't have gotten cancer. I was likely exposed to HPV in my early to mid 20s, where it hid in my tonsils for decades.

In the US, almost anyone under 45 can get vaccinated. Please do. As another comment points out, they protect against multiple strains. It's unlikely you've been exposed to all of them.

While HPV+ head and neck cancers are more easily and more successfully treated than HPV- ones, I do not recommend getting cancer.

From the outside, I look like a normal person of late middle age. The two incision scars I have look like neck folds -- literally no one, including medical personnel outside of the cancer world, notices them.

From the inside, tho:

* Can no longer taste sugar, salt, chocolate, and a host of other, smaller things. Most other things have less taste and pretty much nothing has a flavor after a few bites. For some, this eventually stops -- I'm unlucky. (Radiation destruction of taste buds)

* Significantly decreased saliva to the throat. Cannot eat without some liquid. The saliva that forms is thicker and sometimes causes problems swallowing. Some get this to the mouth and to a larger extreme -- I'm lucky. (Radiation)

* Dental trauma, including teeth extraction / root canal / deep fillings, may cause spontaneous bone tissue death in the jaw. (Radiation)

* Permanent sensation of partial numbness centered around my left ear and cheek. Touching that area produces a pins and needles sensation. (Neck dissection)

* No feeling in a stripe about 1.5" (4cm) wide where the neck dissection scars are. (Neck dissection)

* Changes in speech quality. These are not clinically significant but changed my voice from one people enjoyed listening to (asked to do voice over work, complemented, etc) to just another voice. (Surgery)

* Tinnitus increased significantly and hearing has worsened. I was not given chemo, the normal cause of hearing loss. (Unsure cause)

There's more, but those are some of the highlights. Get vaccinated, get your kids vaccinated, etc.

HPV- head and neck cancers in the US are dropping as people quit smoking. HPV+ are on the rise for now, but will drop as the generations with vaccinations get older.

I'm traveling today, but will look at this later today if anyone has a question to ask.
It does not follow that because you would ask for money that you should therefore give people money. There's an implicit assumption that most people who ask for money are in the position you imagined yourself to be in that case.

Honestly, I’m not sure. I find the premise of such tax laws to be illogical at a basic level. There are apparently always multiple ways to create legal loopholes.

If we consider the Irish sandwich mechanism that was recently “stopped”, somehow that hasn’t materially affected any of the innumerable companies that were using it. As we saw in the Apple vs EU case, most practices might’ve never been actually legal either.

So my personal opinion is that (almost) all tax “optimization” is at the minimum immoral, but most likely illegal too.

Edit: This reminds me of the idea of temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Your personal optimization is not what I’m talking about - corporations have legal teams the size of SMBs lobbying/creating/looking for secret loopholes, and people are talking about public self service methods.

That's the least important problem.

The developers also lack knowledge about the environment; can't evolve the environment; can't test the environment for bugs; and invariably interfere with each other because it's never isolated well. And also, yes, it adds lag.

Anyway, yes, working locally on false data that little resemblance to production still beats remote environments.
I always give money if I have any on me, and I always try to have cash on me for this very reason. I do not want to live in a society where being inured to such a state of being is normal. And until we can figure out a way to convince other americans that everyone deserves a home, that we pay for if necessary, that's the best an individual can do.

Besides, kindness begets kindness. I have been on the receiving end of selfless help from uncountable people; to not do the same with the money I have would be cruel.

Fair enough. You may be totally right here, as I mentioned I don't use Python much at all since like 2017 and haven't paid it much attention in a while. I retract my comment.

Regarding breakage in 3.x, all I know is that I recall several times where I did a linux system update (rolling release), and that updated my Python to a newly released version which broke various things in my system. I'm pretty sure one of these was v3.10, but I forget which others caused me problems which I could only solve by pinning Python to an older release.

It's entirely possible though that no actual APIs were broken and that this was just accidentaly bugs in the release, or the packages were being naughty and relying on internals they shouldn't have relied on or something else.
Many homeless shelters are worse than sleeping rough because the security situation is so dire. At worst you can be locked in (yes, some lock you in for the night) with violent and rapey men but an averagely bad night might still mean having your phone stolen.

Too add further stress to overwhelming anxiety, many people who work in homeless shelters are also, unfortunately, narcissistic bullies on a power trip.

Nobody gives a fuck about the security situation of homeless people though and their reluctance to use shelters is usually chalked up to them being drug addicts unwilling to deal with the no drug mandates.
>It just sounds like ragebait designed to get laypeople to hate the tech industry

Why? The sentiment of "you're on your own, go talk to a wall and figure yourself out" is about par for the course regarding society's collective attitude towards mental health.

What support is shown in society for metal health is all feel-good shit for normies so they don't notice how goddamn bleak it looks from the side of someone who isn't confident they're able to hold it together.
Yes! This is what I keep complaining about! HTML likewise solved accessibility, but then it goes right through the cycle: someone extends it in a way that requires a special reader, then they focus on people with that reader at the expense of everyone else. Unless you stop the cycle from happening, going to a new format doesn't help!

S/He edited it? What was the original comment to which you replied?
I've been watching Soprano's for the first time and this reminds me of the storyline about Meadow's roommate in season 3 who moved to NY from the midwest and is not adjusting or coping to city life, especially when she melts down seeing the homeless woman when they're out drinking one night. I remember seeing the exact same thing play out with kids when I was in university, and I'll just propose this: People don't care because they cannot care, because if they did they would implode. There is too much out there, we're not in some primate village in the forest where you know every other monkey in the tribe. In a city with millions of sad stories, the only choice is to short circuit that part of the brain.
The real reason you should not give money to panhandlers is because it incentivizes panhandling. You should give money if you want to see more panhandlers.
Best of all is to infect multiple people with compassion and empathy. The rest would follow!

I've had friends collect waste food from restaurants for the homeless under the Food not Bombs banner in Dublin. After a couple of days the Guards (Irish police) put a stop to it. Quite a few restaurants and bakeries did donate, although many did not.
I don't really get this. They have already made Python faster in the past while maintaining the same semantics. Seems like a good goal to me.
How many lives have you saved in your lifetime? With the amount of money most people make with concentrated effort you can pull at least one person out of poverty.

I would say most people haven’t done this. Because what I said is essentially true.
As someone who's experienced homelessness, I am where I am now through the kindness of strangers and doubt I would have made it otherwise.

Another homeless person went out of his way to get me a sleeping bag, someone else would stop and chat, offering ideas for how I may be able to get more help. Another offered me a place to stay until I got back on my feet, 12 years later he's still my best friend.

I never asked for money and was never offered it. I'd witness people who did ask with no second thought and, undeniably, they were doing so to fuel a drink or drug addiction (many of these people were also not technically homeless).

If you can really help a homeless person then go ahead and do it, that help is unlikely to materialize via a simple transfer of cash though.

Hey HN!

I’m a PM in tech (self-taught dev), and my friend, a software engineer, and I built Rede.io as a way to dive into using LLMs in production to learn. Right now, it’s a daily email with the top tech stories, AI-summarized to get you up to speed fast.

Tech Stack & Curation

We’re building with Next.js, React, and custom email infrastructure. For now, we’re curating from RSS and subreddits but are looking to add sources like GitHub, Product Hunt, and company blogs. We chose tech as a starting point, but with what we’ve built, there’s potential to support other types of curated newsletters down the line.

We’d love to know what you’d like in a daily tech email. Any feedback on content, features, or sources would be awesome!

Check it out, and thanks for redeing!

Cheers,

Also - weapons like supercavitating torpedoes have presented serious, autonomous and lethal threats to submarines since the 70s. This is a silly assumption that wouldn't have held up in WWII, let alone 2024.

Airbnb, they had to pay like 70k of tax a few years ago. There are employees who pay as much tax as single filers lol

They paid 18% less tax in 2016 than in 2013 while the number of flats available on the site went from 30k to 300k

There are cultures around the world where it is really, really bad to throw away food. People with extra food that won't be eaten as leftovers will offer it to less fortunate people who live or work in the neighborhood.
> It does not follow that because you would ask for money that you should therefore give people money.

Of course it does. If there is any logic to ethics is that you should behave towards others how you would like to be treated in their position.

> There's an implicit assumption that most people who ask for money are in the position you imagined yourself to be in that case.

Well, yes. To assume otherwise, or to fall into such deep skepticism that you think you cannot assume anything about how other people pass through the world, is to give up on empathy.

You're sort of implying that anybody who doesn't do something substantive (as opposed to giving out money) for a given cause doesn't "actually care", which is fallacious. You're maybe just frustrated by the conflict between caring and doing, as anybody would be - it feels hypocritical to care and not do, but it often just comes down to basic cruel practicality and individual-scale attention economy, and trying to articulate this "excuse" out loud sounds bad. One alternative defense mechanism is to say, "Actually, I just don't care. That's the simple truth! I think most people don't care, in fact, and just can't admit it." I don't even necessarily think this is a full-blown lie, because "care" is a very subjective term. You can internally assert that the threshold for "care" is higher than what you feel, but using the simplest intuitive definition, it's impossible for most people to not "care" about human misery to some degree just because we are completely detached from it.
