The poor and working class never drove in Manhattan. It’s too expensive to maintain a car and pay for parking.

With congestion pricing the poor (not to mention all of us) now get to enjoy more efficient and reliable bus travel. This is a net win for the working class.
They can have it. I'd rather amazing transit oriented development and to enjoy the world on my feet than stuck in a box on an ugly road. Done right, cities designed for people are harder to get around by car even with a personal driver.
I suppose that's true. In any case, though, getting a backup mailing list going is much much easier than something like GitHub, and you can always mail patches directly if maintainers allow it.
Brilliant for many reasons. I hope we see a lot more of this.
Agreed, that's why i said 'tangential at best'.
The user ID is non uniform after hash and mod? How?
Why not? NPM behaves oddly when there is a public package named the same as one on a private repo, in some cases it’ll fetch the public one instead. I believe it’s called package squatting or something. They might have just been showing that this is possible during an assessment. No harm no foul here imo
That's valid criticism, it can certainly lead to that if implemented poorly. However, two of the goals of taxing land value are A) increasing the supply of housing and B) discouraging speculative land hoarding — one of the major drivers behind unaffordable housing.
It shows he doesn't answer the question of "how do we know when the woke people are right?" which is an important question given they have been right about a lot of things in the past.
You joke, but critics were literally saying this. Stuff like "it's only $9, people will just ignore that and continue to drive"

> the most delusional Bitcoin people of 2010 are genuinely billionaires now.

It seems a bit odd to call them delusional while in the same breath admitting that they were right all along.
I think every human is entitled to build a home on their own property. Not entitled to property, but entitled to be able to use their property without a dead boomer crawling out the grave to enforce practically unrevokable covenants like not allowing starter homes (which was the actual case with >50% of land I found even in bumfuck Egypt). This is what angers me immensely as I spent years finding a way to unfuck these roadblocks.

What i will never forgive the boomers for are passing zoning, covenants and codes they didn't subject themselves to, then playing with monetary policy to game the real estate values. They are supremely entitled thinking they can take from others property to sabotage the youth from housing. The damage they did is immense, and if you first bought a place 3+ years ago you have no idea how much they've sabotaged those starting at zero, and calling wanting to be able to build a starter home yourself on your own land ( lol i am maybe 0.1% of the population who has done this since it is all but outlawed in most the US, sure am lazy!) as wanting everything on a silver platter makes you the problem.

And with due respect, if you started with even a dilapidated house you are not even close to understanding what it's like to get legal water/well+electric+septic+house permitted on virgin builds which are direly needed now that the affordable dilapidated home path you availed yourself of has been largely closed off circa covid when flippers with access to near 0% loans bid them to infinity and got them locked up in negative real rate mortgages that no one wants to give up since it is a money printing inflation machine that transfers wealth from non owners to owners via central bank induced inflation.
Some numbers don’t make sense here…

They’re saying a 7% reduction is 43k cars, which infers 550k daily trips into the city.

But they think they can make $500M/year. At $9 per trip, that’s only 150k tolls daily. (500M / 365 / $9).

In any case, I’m glad it seems to be working. Congestion pricing has the potential to do a lot of good in this country.
In addition to the obvious improvements to pedestrian safety with less vehicles on the road. Air quality in these areas is going to improve vastly.

This needs to be implemented in every major metropolitan area.
Those are pretty standard. A standard YOLO training run applies more transformations than that, and there are ready-made modules that do the same in keras and pytorch (for their mobilenet and VGG16). I'm not sure if anyone is training any serious vision algorithm without that kind of data augmentation.

What I am talking about is that they want to recognize scenes containing the images, but only have the images as training data. They have a good idea what those scenes will look like. Going there to take actual training pictures was evidently not viable, but generating approximations of them might have been.
Forget the game for a second. This man’s writing is so lucid that it made me think for a second that he was telling the tale of actual railroads.
Where do you see anything about "excitement" about anything? Quit making up bullshit strawman arguments and deal with the issue in a realistic way already. Sheesh.

I'm not arguing for any specific outcome mind you. But a refusal to acknowledge "rate of change" effects and to assume that the future will be like today is incredibly short-sighted and myopic.
This comment is a good example of the type of narrow minded progressive thinking that has held back good public policy like congestion pricing and carbon taxes. Both of these programs are criticized as being regressive. The criticism neglects to take into consideration the society wide benefits like more efficient bus travel or cleaner air that preferentially help the less well off.
I think B39 is a good example of an improvement most affected by the congestion pricing. It's a very short route, with very few stops, and the principal part of the route being the Williamsburg bridge. The rest of both Brooklyn and Manhattan traffic affects it rather little.

I think that "cherry-picking" is when you find outliers and show them off pretending they are typical examples. What I would call this is maybe a "poster child": a specially chosen example where the result is most dramatic and clearly seen.
You must be thinking of a different kind of snow than I am. Have you ever been through Donner Pass?
I appreciate any critical criticism, so thanks for posting this and thanks for replying in the first place! I will agree with you that long attention span could be trained, and that maybe I did not do a good job of highlighting all the other use cases of the app. I think one of the main reasons I use the app as well is for spaced repetition and memory retention. I have trouble remembering things I have learned in freshman year, from research papers I have read in the past, podcasts, etc, and a regularly scheduled text is just enough to jog my memory and keep that information in my brain. The whole TikTok brain was exaggerated just to prove a point, but there are lots of other use cases for the app, and plenty of other directions I could take this app as well.
Same here. I discover and follow youtubers organically mostly - from a search for a specific topic or a "related" offer by YT. If the youtuber is interesting and pleasant and a good videographer and editor (which is quite a bit about MY taste - so, not very predictable by you), THEN I will gladly dig through the rest of their videos and return again and again.

In there, it doesn't matter if you get inspiration from other youtubers. Not my problem. I don't care if it's original - but I care that it's well done. This is one thing you can control: "good videographer and editor", and the good news is that it's a learned skill. Good taste is not a learned skill, harder, but seeking feedback and learning from it, is.

This being said there are clearly many different kinds of YT watchers. The parent and I may or may not matter to any specific youtuber.
Hopefully this means improved response times for emergency vehicles, which have been pretty bad and getting worse due to traffic. I imagine we’ll start to see data in that in a couple months.
With all these emerging real-time AI voice/video synthesis tools, it seems requiring a video call could be obsolete in the near future.
I can't believe the US government would allow that unless he divests from Twitter.
You could have progressive congestion pricing based on the value of the car. I didn't look at it, but what I think you're saying is that this is a regressive pricing control.

I think that's an important point: regressive taxes/fines shouldn't be used to control behavior as it disproportionately impacts the less affluent*

But a progessive scheme is more involved - it might require using the value of the car for example as a basis for the pricing. But I suspect it could be done.
I've seen numerous "escape hatches" over the years that actually just turned out to be painted on the wall. If you actually tried to use them. No one ever does though.

I don't think its malice. I just think its pretty uncommon for anyone to intentionally back out of a structural tech decision so it gets forgotten about and remains un-battle tested.. That or the timeline is longer than SaaS has been around.
OT: Has anyone ever gotten (proper) SBOMs for Snyks own tools and services? Asking because they want to sell my employee their solution (which does SBOMs).
Matt tried to extort money from WP Engine, then blocked their users from receiving updates, stole their plugins, and banned their developers. The filing in WP Engine vs. Automattic gives the details.
Removing the ability to flash it seems like a bad idea. Suppose they find a bug and release an official patch. You want it so you don't die, right? The alternative to flashing the one that's in you is that you need chest surgery again to replace it.

If it has a mechanism to flash it then they can give you the password for yours so that you can always do it yourself (or have someone do it) in the event that the manufacturer goes out of business before anyone finds the bug.

And if you really want to remove the ability to flash it, you could use your right to flash it to remove that feature, whereas the status quo is that it supports it -- insecurely -- and you aren't allowed to change it.
Publii is another one with static generation capabilities (https://getpublii.com)
It was a good analysis but definitely longer than it should have been to communicate the came thing.

A glaring omissions is overlooking the origin of the term "woke" in the context it is being used today.

It was around 2010 as a rallying call for black folk to be aware of being taking for a fool. Then the Occupy Protests and Black Lives Matter came next and as usual it was hijacked by more savvy operators.
Indeed! Estate taxes are subtly different from inheritance taxes.

My dad and I got a crash course introduction when my mom passed; he inherited everything being the survivor so it was all very simple with next to no paperwork, but all the debtors (banks) my mom owed money to when she passed graciously explained to us that any such debts were the responsibility of my mom's estate and not us.

In practical terms the difference meant little, debts are supposed to be repaid and we were happy to clean up her financial affairs as estate executors, but it's a good fact to know now rather than later.

"they are definitely not being silly", that sounds like something a silly person would say. =)

Ya know, it's fine to disagree with something. But hand-wavy, shallow dismissals of what someone has to say, with no willingness to even attempt to engage with the content on a rational basis, is unbecoming.

What a joke. Urban areas have been gutted so suburbanites can travel by car, park their metal death box, and travel back to their shitty home for decades.

Urban areas have also been subsidizing roads mostly used by suburban assholes. Then when those same roads need repair, guess who the burden falls on (it’s not the suburbanite living in shitville county)
Why not lottery my dude (based on dob, license plate, whatever) ? Didn’t I equally pay for the infrastructure?

I would argue that I paid even more than the millionaires, because I cannnot cheat on my taxes.
San Francisco "thought about it" as far back as 2019 and couldn't get their act together to pull it off:

I'm guessing that Uber and other car based services all threatened to stop funding their re-election campaigns if they did it.
Why, after all these years, are we still doing this stupid thing of using a global namespace for packages? If you are a company with an internal package registry just publish all your packages as @companyname/mylib and then no one can squat the name on a public registry. I thought we collectively learned this 4 years ago when dependency confusion attacks were first disclosed.
It was somewhat tongue in cheek ;) but between real, human impacting principles and made up stories about fairies I'll take the former every time.
There is a number of driver categories that pay somehow less to enter. Also I suppose they predict that the number of daily trips will keep going down, and so will the revenue with it.
I agree the hipster comparison is interesting. No one really wanted to be called a hipster either, but you knew who they were. I know I quit identifying as one some time in the late 00s, before the backlash really went mainstream.

You infer, they imply.
The great thing is that you can do both.
But don't forget that glucose is in everything else you eat. Did you have potato French fries with Coke? Boom, you've just changed the glucose-to-fructose ratio by a lot.
I seem to remember a guide stating that this pass has that name because there are two equal sized hills near it and so, umm, it has the profile of a woman lying down on her back, rather than implying that a woman actually died there.
You seem to assume some connection between costs to ISPs and how much they charge.

But ISP already try to charge as much as the market can bear.
We will get better stats as the data rolls in over the next several months, but is very unlikely this is cherry picked or unrepresentative of the broad benefits of less congestion.

In fact, I anticipate the city to expand dedicated bus lanes and bus frequency to take advantage of the reduced car traffic. Bike lanes too. Mass transit should steadily improve over the next year as enhancements made possible by less cars are deployed.
I agree with your rebuttal in response to that other person's comment, but ultimately I do think those programs are regressive for the poor, at this very point in time.

I guess the question becomes, should those poorest suffer for the betterment of all future generations? I would personally say no.
I had just upgraded to Windows 11 last week, and for some godforsaken reason earlier today, I could SSH via WSL but not from the host OS even though they were both using keys served from the Windows OpenSSH agent!

When the M2 Pro mini came out Jan 2022, I contemplated whether to purchase the silicon CPU/GPU, or go with a then-better-supported iMac Pro (Vega64).

Ultimately the mac mini was a better purchase, delivering performance unknown to intel platforms (using only a tenth of the energy).

Should everything be tied to income/wealth? Taxes and college tuition are already tied to income/wealth. Why not food, housing, travel, clothes, healthcare, even drinking water? At that point wealth will stop to have any meaning.
Perhaps the investors felt that DEI programs would produce benefits in the long run? For all the accusations of Wall Street short-termism, the stock market was very patient with Amazon during its reinvest-all-profit years and the Saudis were very patient with Masayoshi Son's Vision Fund adventures.

But I think you'd be wise to drop this idea of a "field disadvantage". HN threads aren't supposed to be a football game, a tank battle, or anything else where that image would fit. It's not about defeating opponents or, as I used to say, smiting enemies. It's about maximizing interestingness, to put it clumsily.

Roads in cities are such a waste of space. A long time ago I did a quick survey of SF and found something like 20% of the land was dedicated to cars. Some articles from people here that talk about this [1] [2] [3]. That is the most subsidized land on the planet but people don't think of it that way. They think roads are free so any tax to use them is wrong. That space could be helping out the city in so many ways but instead it is just ugly pavement. Yes we need some roads, but cars driving in the heart of downtown as normal transit? It boggles my mind how dumb that is. Raise this tax until basically nobody is using the roads then rip most of them up except maintenance corridors and put that land to use.

You either die as a white hat or live long enough to see yourself become a black hat.
There are reduced rates people can apply for. Agreed though, I think tolls, traffic tickets, and parking tickets should all be baselined against the KBB value of the car.
I've been through numerous yearly HR trainings and not once has the term "LatinX" appeared in one. I also highly doubt that even a significant minority, let alone "almost all", progressive Democratic politicians have ever used the term at all. Latinos themselves have rather squarely rejected "LatinX" on the basis of it being nigh-unpronounceable and entirely disconnected from how Spanish/Portuguese words actually work.
They arent adding sugar and increasing the product size, they're displacing more expensive ingredients (fruits? dairy?) for cheaper sugars.

> I think you're taking Trump too lightly.
I didn't

You're talking about another thing.

Trump(or Biden admin)'s tactic is - move/push 3 step forward, back 1 step, use it to trade China's concession

Let's take TikTok ban as an example, if Biden didn't rush to play it and traded nothing, it will be a card of Trump, Trump can use it to trade(or threat) profit.

ofc Trump can seek other cards to play, but the TikTok card, and the Chip sanction card, were wasted by Biden, Trump can not go further in these two topics.

It's not about China or Chinese merchants, it's the game between Biden and Trump, and their parties.

Either one of these two president are willing or able to be friendly to China, there's no different, Trump will pressure China with tarrifs, Biden pressured China with geopolitical/financial containment and regime change

The only difference is which one will harm the US more.
Gen 1 devices included among their product line was really only the Play 5 (Gen 1).

Every other device, Play 1, Play 5 (Gen 2), AMP, Play 3, Playbar, Playbase, Sub all of these products were made compatible with both S1 & S2 apps.

Outside of the Play 5 (Gen 1) there weren't really many other products people were buying that were left out.
I think an issue with this kind of policy (not necessarily in Manhattan) but in other cities is that often there is no alternative other than to drive to the city.

For example, my partner needs radiation for her cancer and the hospital is located in the city. There is no other option than to drive. I feel like this type of policy negatively affects people in this situation, with no other alternative.
Well, maybe this - writing in this imperative tone - is something that we should work on changing? It seems like a more useful change than policing individual words or phrases because of dubious historical misunderstandings.
If all you care about is insurance, I think you can sometimes merely attest "yeah, it will work" and check a box. No demo necessary (sadly).

If you actually care about uptime, then a real demo with usage is likely the better approach: switch over to your "backup" on a regular basis and make sure it works 100% as expected.
There might be some survivorship bias at play here, as by definition you'll only get to know someone's a vegan because he's a noisy one. Those who eat in peace and leave others alone are not memorable - same goes for antivegans.
I believe the point was protecting against risk of 3rd party falling over. If you self host that reduces the risk. At least you have visibility into the falling over process.
> Or have I just fed you a “working-class done good” tale, because that’s how I attempt to justify my own exceedingly privileged position?

Oh just get over yourself with the materialism-breeding-guilt nonsense.

Live modestly; eschew debt; raise a family; find joy.

The emphasis on "moi" and "muh stuff" is the bugaboo here.
> So your point isn't so much that language policing costs a lot, it's that it doesn't provide any value.

That's not my point. I think they're both true.

> But what if it does?

Why are corporations dropping it as soon as it became socially acceptable to do so if it is providing value to them?

What value is yelling at people who don't include their pronouns in their bio providing to society? What about education consultants who have a stated goal of assuring equal outcomes for all students (this happened in my very large, progressive district and parents lost their minds)?

> What if the way people talk publicly about other people does impact behavior?

There are much more effective and efficient ways to accomplish this than what the people in question are doing if that's the case.

> Do you think the social stigma attached to the n-word, and the consequential reduction in its public use, helped contribute to equal rights?

Not particularly

> What about slurs against gays, or Jews?

Not particularly

> Maybe there is some value in policing language after all?

Feel free to share any evidence you have, I'm open to hearing about it
