It’s such an insane take that proof would be amazing

I’d love to see this placed into the context of the (actual) average Joe. If you consider that the average person dramatically overestimates their reasoning skills and can’t correctly do high school level math, I think it would help understand if we have reached AGI. It would also just provide some color to the state of things.

This is a wonderful example

Hacker news is peak contrarian. If your stance was that this merger was incredible, your replies would be entirely about competition lol.

Pay a bit extra to board earlier.

No, devaluing the 5th because they regularly have completely insane takes is logical. They regularly twist legal frameworks for completely out of pocket takes. Criticizing government actors instead of blindly trusting every ruling without reading it is how democracy functions and grows. If you’re so upset over that, you probably need to re evaluate if you should live in a country where citizens get to distrust their government. That’s exactly the foundation of this one.

Sorry for the confusion there, but I bought that up as a point that their rulings have been so bad that even the current, extremely partial SC, has been forced by the politics of the situation to slap down their rulings. It’s as if your own friends tell you you’ve gone a bit too far.

Well judging how bad a court is by how many times this Supreme Court reverses it isn’t the best metric, that would require the SC to be a fair and reasonable actor

Adding the 4 missing Supreme Court justices for the circuits that don’t have them would go a long way to solving this in the short term.

This exactly, the 5th has the wildest and most twisted rulings to the point even the current Supreme Court has slapped a few down. Any reasonable person should be skeptical.

That’s a super thoughtful response, thanks. Also my armchair understanding is that HVDC electric is superior and our electrical grid needs the rework anyways haha

You know I remember hearing this way back in the early 2000s but forgot about it, Carl is pretty low key, no Wikipedia / etc

Yes of course - it depends on what lens though. If you mean "I'm learning to build better from this" then no, but its very informative on Meta's own goals and mindset as well as real numbers that allow comparison to investment in other areas, etc. Also the point was mostly that Meta does publish a lot in the open - including actual open source tech stacks etc. They're reasonably good actors in this specific domain.

Honestly Meta is consistently one of the better companies at releasing tech stack info or just open sourcing, these kinds of articles are super fun

You’re right, I could have specified that even if you don’t use iCloud you have a keychain on iOS

You certainly can not, here's some more info. Passwords and the keychain are separate items.

Hey I can shed light on this. It’s the iCloud keychain. Disabling the keychain doesn’t delete existing entries. There is no way to modify the keychain on iOS (you can on Mac). Lots of apps store sign on data in the keychain for obvious reasons.

It would be really great to have a keychain section in iOS’s settings, like Keychain Access on Mac. The dev can build in-app functionality to delete keys from the keychain, but there’s not a huge incentive to.

Keychain storage doesn’t let FB track you, just store sign on info, keys, and the like. It’s not able to execute arbitrary code, it’s an encrypted place to store login info that Apple syncs between your devices.

Use them via Safari if you don’t want this (then your logins are saved & synced in Safaris keychain.)

Masochism

This is quite simple, cities are run by voters. Any property owner, and all the landlords, are incentivized to keep housing stock as low as possible. To get around this you need federal housing regulation to prevent local governments from doing what’s clearly in their loudest voters best interest, and instead change the incentives to favor building high rise condos and dense housing

That’s valid

That’s more of a statement of the monopolization of hardware access the App Store gives than it is him “piggy backing”. It’s not like you have a real choice without Apple being forced to allow software downloads via a web browser globally.

Yea and if the UX and safety are actually better consumers will pick the better, safer option in the whole. It’s like wow I have my entire life’s financial documents on my Mac but somehow downloading Firefox via Safari on my iPhone is so risky and unsolvable.

Private companies still have fiduciary responsibility, but yes you’re totally correct about the private-for-longer incentive. So many paper only unicorns the public market isn’t accepting anymore

The entire west coast is really bad about its strategy for tackling homelessness. The central issue there is the federal government needs to massively ramp up housing, it can’t be solved at a local level (there’s a role to play for cities but basically you need nationwide housing reform.)

Chicago and NYC have massively used transit systems despite their homeless populations. I lived in Chicago and I miss a real transit system here in TX badly.

That is to say, we don’t need to do A before B. We need to do A & B

Effectively all of the aerospace and defense industries are like this. I’m not even sure it’s controversial, it’s just so normalized

This is slightly unrelated but the intense childhood nostalgia I feel from the design of this site - its clean and beautiful in its way

Pessimism is more infective than optimism. It’s also easier to be a naysayer, since most new ventures do failed you can point and say you were right regardless of merit.

Yea there was a lot of that going around

What really surprises me in west palm are just how many of the housing communities post signage about being 55+, soooo much of the housing restricted by age. Sure, it’s famous for being a retirement community but I’m just so surprised it’s legal to limit the housing stock by age.

Damn. Welp, that’s corruption
