I'm confused why systemd would even do this? I'm not advocating for "breaking the law", but it's just completely absurd that this project would be prosecuted for anything... The general public as no idea what system

While I'm a big fan of open source, I don't understand what the alternative is for this dilemma... Is it supposed to be illegal for me to create my own homegrown database with the same API as MongoDB? If not, then when people star

Next thing you know, someone on hacker news will be posting about how they reverse engineered their iPhone so they could charge the battery 10x faster! Everyone will complain about Apple being a walled garden and how regulation nerfed their

Its worth checking out a recent interview with the Flock CEO on Cheeky Pint (Stripe's podcast with John Collison) [1] As much as I fear the Orwellian future this could turn into, I think its important to recognize that the burden of pr

> But blaming them for not accepting email is kind of silly. They are not empowered to do that kind of thing. Perhaps it's irrational, but I have this viceral feeling that refuses to allow me to believe that people don't have a

I grew up in Sacramento and I remember when my parents were had a flat rate water bill. Those were the good ol' days! It frustrates me how everyone moralizes water use rather than accepting that free markets allow for people who are si

I might be missing something because I don’t really understand why you mean by “health” related deaths… But it seems like you’re making Dan’s point for him. “We need to adapt our lifestyles to climate change” is not an acceptable answer to

Perhaps he could have been a bit more charitable with his attitude, but do you disagree with his premise? 20k people died from heat exposure last summer in Europe! That seems crazy to me, though what do I know? What am I missing?

This is awesome. Can I do this myself? Or does this need to be implemented in their backend?

I’ve never understood why time is the metric people are using here. If LLMs get so much better we can “run them overnight”, what makes you think that they won’t also get faster and so they accomplish exactly what you’re talking about in 5 m

I think these numerical constraints are because range trees use numerical averages to construct themselves. This is important for OVERLAPS queries common with dates. But you could construct interval tree indexes lexicographically using text

Seems like this logic could all be represented in Claude.md and some agents. Has anyone done this? I’d love to just import that into my project because I’m using some of these tactics but it’s fairly manual and tedious.

I think cars and urban design are too often used as a scapegoat. Whether living in an apartment building in a city or a house in the suburbs, I’m frequently surprised how many people never introduce themselves to their neighbors. And that h

Very insightful. 1965 was an interesting time to write this book too with welfare being passed around then.

This happened this morning. What are the odds that next week this will be fixed and this whole enragement and speculation was a complete waste of time? This is why I don’t read the news anymore.

Can people help to fill in some of the gaps in this article? There are some striking claims that seem to have some basis in reality. But the article leaves a lot questions. The the US dollar safe for now because of the lack of a viable alte

I do something very similar but I add to the bottom instead of the top. It keeps things chronological which is nice when referring back to things. It’s also much more similar to how you would take notes on paper or in a notebook. I just wis

I think what he’s saying is if the police department is trying to identify a person in a photo, then anyone from the public can try to help them out. Whether those people use facial recognition software or not isn’t exactly relevant to the

I’m always surprised that banks don’t have a better way of authenticating themselves to their customers (Chase and Vanguard, in particular). They call, they say I can call back and wait in a queue, but that’s stupid. Also crazy they don’t h

I want an iPhone Mini-sized iPhone! You can’t buy them anymore and now I have a big phone! A weird correlation I’ve observed is that many tech savvy designer folks have iPhone mini’s. I think partly because they do their main work on a comp

Regulation to provide a de-orbiting plan. I assume there something similar for oil wells and mining… What kind of solution you’re proposing? Why can’t we suffice with just regulation?

Side story regarding roads: I was recently in Shelter Cove, CA and was thinking that the is road probably exceeds the entire economic value of the town… Why is this road even here? It turns out, they used to harvest tan oak bark for the tan

Why isn’t the free market capable of doing this? Seems odd to spend money just to spend money. There’s plenty of incentive for other people to be doing this already…

I’m not sure it’s that clear… Take an application like Slack and consider how to scale it local-first for a team with 1000 people. And then consider how to coordinate deployment of new features and schema migrations… Compare that with runni

Their choices led them to get stuck and their choices are the only thing that can get them unstuck. Maybe they don’t want to get unstuck, who are we to tell people how to live?

I don’t want to disagree with you but I have a hard time with preaching that people are not be personally responsible for themselves. I get your point that genes are important and some are blessed while others are not. But regardless what y

Unless the law forbids working more than 15 hours per week, the numbers will shift around but the supply-demand market equilibrium will remain approximately the same. If minimum wage goes up 40/15 = 267%, then the price of your coffee
