You clarified it wasn’t “never change NIMBYism” - was it a case of just changes I don’t like NIMBYism?
I highly recommend Incorruptible by Eric Reis - it makes it clear that shareholder primacy is a relatively recent phenomena, but capital and markets have been corrupting businesses for a long, long time.
He did an AMA here recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48477135
Yup. They released the air - but that’s not what I want. I want a smaller phone, not thinner.
That’s fine, except for places in the US (particularly poor urban areas) where you have to wait in line for hours and hours to vote - it would need to accommodate for that
Then it’s necessary to make voting a federal holiday. Like it is in other countries.
Why are you on the version from homebrew?
But why?
Someone has to be collecting the data. I believe that should be something our tax dollars pay for.
After the data is present, someone should make the data accessible and useable. That also seems like a good use of tax dollars.
Hiqh quality data on climate is relevant to many, many organizations and polities. That's the sort of coordination problem that I want my government to solve.
Generally you can use the back of a screwdriver like a hammer.
It works pretty well when you need to hit something with a solid object a couple times.
But they probably don’t have M5 MacBook pros idling
I’m also terrified of this.
When this happens I will have to look at other providers and downgrade my subscription. Conductor is just too powerful to give up. It’s the whole reason why I’m on a max plan.
This website, at least in dark mode, doesn't have any visible indication when text is selected.
... Which is additionally frustrating, since the links at the bottom aren't actually links (so you have to select them to copy and paste into your address bar)
I’ve wanted this produce for years. Signed up. Thank you.
Not true. NYTimes had reported on it
I love that he got in because the trunk was left open, and then couldn’t get out.
Failure mode they hadn’t thought of yet
Trying to figure out how to align this with my experiences (which match the parents’ comment), and I have an idea:
Coding contests are not like my job at all.
My job is taking fuzzy human things and making code that solves it. Frankly AI isn’t good at closing open issues on open source projects either.
I think the fact that Apple is having to fight this fight is evidence of why they were right to make a secure walled garden. I don’t know of any other service I would recommend my mother use for securely backing up her phone.
I think the UK is ultimately going to roll back this law. I don’t think this means that iCloud E2E is hostile to Apple or its users. I think Apple is going to win.
The war isn’t won by telling people to use GPG https://moxie.org/2015/02/24/gpg-and-me.html
Checks out - you aren’t in a city.
I was surprised that the original comment said they were in a city
Wild! I’ve lived in Chicago and San Francisco and have never lost power for more than an hour. And can’t remember the last time it went out at all, maybe 2 years ago?
What city do you live in?
I got to stay on my parents health care for additional years because of Obamacare - as have millions of others. That gave me flexibility to experiment and during that time I learned to program.
I’m asking because I genuinely don’t know - what are “pages” here?
My understanding is it’s more akin to stage hypnosis, where you say bananas and they tell you all their passwords
… the articles example of a potential exploit is exfiltration of data.
All roles are networking roles
The article address this very criticism
Any clear reason to use this over chartkick?
This seems useful and well put together, but splitting it into many small pages instead of a single page that can be scrolled through is frustrating - particularly on mobile where the table of contents isn't shown by default. I stopped reading after a few pages because it annoyed me.
At the very least, the sections should be a single page each.
While I understand the drawbacks, the current situation - where the ultra-wealthy don’t pay taxes because all their wealth is in unrealized gain - is even worse
I think tptacek is generally worth reading. He is one of the users with the highest karma on this site (

I’m happy to have read this, which is reason enough to publish it - but also it’s clearly generating debate so it seems like a very good thing to have published.
