I think people also forget that it's not as simple as taking a pill and all is good. All medications carry side effects and risks. Even Tylenol can cause major problems like hearing loss down the line. As I recall, the life expectancy of this cohort is close but still below the general population. This difference is probably a reflection of a lower quality of life, which don't ultimately take their toll for a long time. There's also the ongoing risk that the drugs may fail to work at some point or that the patients may not be a good candidate for them or there may be interactions interfering with other treatments.

I believe the stdlib one could be refactored, but I'm not sure. There are a lot of optimizations in that one.

IMO "no unsafe code" is a stretch. "no unnecessary unsafe code" is what it should be.

Uh, this looks like shitty science reporting: "That resistance, however, comes at a price. The coating that makes textiles oil resistant is fluorine-based and breaks down into chlorofluorocarbon gas, a greenhouse gas harmful to the environment."

> MS and Apple don't compete on merit, because of the lock-in above.

That's bullshit. Of course they compete on merit. You don't have lock-in until you actually acquire the customer, and until they've been using your platform long enough to buy into the lock-in. The platforms are absolutely competing on merit in order to attract new customers, and to ensure the current customers are happy enough that they don't pay the cost of jumping platforms.

> When they are forced to compete on merit, it quickly shows they aren't anywhere "hugely better", and often they are simply worse. The article highlights this point.

You completely misunderstand the article. It's not saying iOS is not better. It's saying that Chinese users are using WeChat as their platform and largely don't care about the underlying software platform that WeChat is running on. For the most part it doesn't matter whether iOS or Android is better, because the Chinese users are completely ignoring that and using the common WeChat platform. So the fact that Chinese iOS users might switch to Android doesn't mean iOS is worse, it just means the fact that it's better is irrelevant.
It may have involved some original research on the spectral properties of the material their looking for; in relation to the radiant energy they have available; and the spectral sensitivities of the sensors (radiant energy source spectra, object spectra, sensor spectra = information to derive a reflectance/absorption spectra for the object and match it with whatever you're looking for). But this research also requires any software changes and testing, and possibly changes to the light source (to change the wavelength(s) available), changes to filters on the light source or the sensor or both.

I think the limiting factor is the spectral response of this specific material, given a limited radiant energy source.

Another way to do this, would be via resolution. Maybe they aren't doing spectra matching, they might be able to differentiate the physical pattern of the material, sorta like a scanning microphotograph.

Pumped storage at ~$150/kWh (for a large installation) is about half the Musk price of large scale battery storage ($250/kWh).

I think there's room for both, as you can put batteries just about anywhere and at nearly any scale, while pumped hydro works best for large scale. Gigawatt-level for ~10 hours at a time potentially... Largest facility is 3GW for about 10-12 hours, about the same as the yearly battery production the completed Gigafactory will have:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_County_Pumped_Storage_Sta...

I do think the difference between pumped and battery storage will get closer, however. And battery power has the advantage of option value since you can build it much faster (about 10 times faster) than a big pumped hydro station.

It may help you to ponder that in the 1980s, a lot of people were extremely confident human civilization was doomed, doomed, doomed by certainly no later than 2000, and even setting the date that late was terribly optimistic.

There are people who profit from selling this doom. Buy less of it.

I'm not a binary thinker, so just because I'm saying "don't feel quite so doomed" does not mean I'm advocating for the polar opposite blindly sunny disposition either. I said "buy less of it" rather than "stop buying it" quite deliberately. But doom has been "real soon now!" for, like, 60+ years, and it's an important perspective to keep that in mind when you hear today's confident doom-mongers promising immanent doom Real Soon Now (TM). (More than 60 years, really, you can find people complaining about how society is going downhill in antiquity. But the modern brand is about 50-60 years old.)
Competing on merit means no dirty monopolistic tricks, like saying "you can only use our browser here. Tough luck if you want to use something better than that". So they clearly don't compete on merit when they make all those weird restrictions.

> You completely misunderstand the article.

I understand it well. The article says, that in China the situation ironically managed to undermine Apple's lock-in (though replacing it with Wechat lock-in). This way Apple only serves as another hardware option. So Apple has to compete on merit with other hardware makers.

>"Mandel did warn about the forces of automation, globalization, and wage stagnation, and feared that they would tear at the social fabric by making workers miserable."

Funny. Most people are living better lives today in the era of High Capitalism than they ever have in the past. As technology growth - spurred by the incentives capitalism generates - continues, and new products and services are created by the capitalist system, people's lives will continue to improve.

What's beautiful about capitalism is that it, through automation, is eliminating drudgery and danger from people's work. Eventually when we reach very high levels of automation in society, we may be able to transition to an economy in which people don't have to work (much) but still get to own things through universal basic income or some other sort of scheme.

So no revolution needed to get us to the promised land folks. Capitalism is taking us there.
Correct. That's what IF means.

You've got it backwards. The state feeds the capitalist system, not the other way around. There are states without capitalist economies, but no capitalist economies without states to provide basic property rights, defense, etc. What do you get when you drop Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Satya Nadalla into the middle of Somalia or Yemen? Not titans of enterprise, just easy targets.
There are evident security issues with this, as spelled out in the bug. Yeah, I'd consider that broken. Of course the repro is contrived, but it's not at all unusual to install some packages manually. The point is that once you do so, you might not get the same result later from package.json, either.

And yes, Yarn is the sane option for package management for Node. Why isn't it the default one yet?
So if you setup AMT in the BIOS and run Linux you are exploitable? Can somebody confirm that this also affacts AMT < 6.0 i.e. Core2 system like Dell Optiplex 755,780?
Well no, not exactly. It's just I've come across arguments (really memes) about "late stage capitalism" that are fueled with snark but really nothing substantive to convince me of what their individual argument is against 'late stage capitalism' (like the completely valid argument you've just made) and it's left me with a bit of fatigue on the face of it being preached at regarding the topic.

I'll own that this isn't a perfect position to be in and I'm not portending it is.
Let's see the benchmarks justifying the use of "unsafe" for maps. Maybe there's a better way to do it without much of a performance penalty. It's a good way to find out what optimizations the compiler is missing. It may even turn out that unsafe code written early no longer is a performance win, since the Rust compiler is getting better at optimizing out redundant subscript checks.

When you start looking through Rust libraries, "unsafe" turns up way too often.

#1 reason the article doesn't mention: It's incredibly cheap to host PHP. Hosting companies push WordPress and other PHP-based hosting heavily and make it super easy for anyone to get a live site going with PHP.

Right, so you're advising the "if you don't like it get out" method... which is completely useless.

Whether or not someone likes capitalism, it's our current system and you have to make a living or some asshole is going to tell you that you can't get healthcare.

Capitalism is taking some there. Not all. Most. The averages look good. When you look outside a standard deviation or two there is intergenerational suffering with no end.

So, you're right. As long as you can plug your nose and ignore the people at the very bottom, everything is pretty good!

I think the fundamental reason people latch onto it as "Late Stage" is because they see the future of this way of building a society as very grim. And I am inclined to agree with them.

Capitalism is one thing, but fundamentalist capitalism, which is preached in the US (not followed, mind you, we have lots of monopolies and very closed markets), is something of a horror show of awful virtues. The trick is, capitalism in the US has ALWAYS been a horror show. This country was literally founded on the ideals of slavery and not paying taxes. England wasn't cool with slavery when we founded this nation, but we sure were. If this country wasn't founded on slavery, then the 3/5ths compromise would never have taken place, and we'd have ended the practice at inception.

It is a good thing that we now no longer have an actual price tag on the heads of human beings in this country, but is it really so difficult to see such a thing coming about again, with corporations as the "owners," and individuals as the investment properties? Apple was colluding to keep employee pay down, a few years back, showing this type of behavior already fomenting again.

"Late Stage Capitalism" refers, really, to early stage capitalism as it existed in the US: that view that money is more important than human life. That the only reasonable pursuit of humans is money. It beacons to the hollowness of the American life, where your job defines you more than any other single attribute.

Yes, there is no real alternative in our modern world. The term "Late Stage Capitalism," however, insinuates that there is a solution out there, and we'll be moving on to it sometime in the next couple of decades. What will that be? I personally feel as though we'll splinter into border less societies with their own crypto currencies, populated by people who live in the real world societies as ghosts, without tax-paying jobs or rent paying housing. Some sort of reputation-based world like a Doctorow novel, but with the real government still in place, but being ignored and circumvented by people in a million ways.

Think of this like a game of Civilization. You start as a dictatorship, but you can research better forms of government. Civ always stopped at Democracy, like that was the be all and end all. But that's just because humanity hasn't yet discovered the next good way of organizing large groups for mutual protections. We will, some day.
> In other words, people aren't buying iPhones for its integration with Apple services in China, which could lead to an increase in growth due to the halo effects. Instead, they run WeChat and they buy things through there, which leads to no growth in Apple's services and revenue. Which also means, the customers have no desire to buy another Apple device. They can do the same on any device that can run WeChat.

The root cause for this is it's a high-walled market. If you can compromise and be allowed to grab a spoon as an outsider. It's already a win. Just look at other big name service providers.

Apple is a huge winner among outsiders in China market since they can make nice profit through physical product alone.
>so you're advising

Not at all. My reply here sums up my immediate reaction to memes critiquing 'late stage capitalism' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14276295

It's a topic worthy of critique but the circles I inhabit seem to be filled with individuals take a position of critiques that amount to memes and hollow arguments that seem more focused on poking fun at the participants than criticizing the system-leaving me with an uncomfortable level of fatigue.
Perhaps they feel that the hand that's feeding them is feeding them feces instead of the promised food.

Or perhaps they feel that the hand that's feeding them while siphoning off their wallet is not actually doing them much good.

Capitalism isn't bad in and of itself, but neither is it good. When combined with proper regulation, it can lead to a lot of growth, while raising the tide for everyone. But when deregulated, or subverted with poor (or hostile) regulation, it results in... well... what we have today. Very few rich people building their fortunes on the backs of everyone else.
Nice. That's what I like about this comments section, you always learn something new.

I see, and understand, the point you're making. But we do have established channels and processes for amending the law. If you decide not to go through these formal means, and favor an approach that directly violates said laws, you'll have to suffer the consequences.

Just because we hate the "taxi cartel" and just because Uber provides an easy-to-use, convenient service, does not justify their actions.

As a community, I think we really need to reexamine the whole "break things" and "ask forgiveness, not permission" culture that YC and the rest of the SV has endorsed as normal, operating procedure.

It's gotten to the point where if you're not willing to bend and break rules, that's seen as some sort of weakness.

Remember, rule of law, is the bedrock of a democratic civil-society. To erode that foundation, is to welcome a whole spate of nastiness that I know none of us want.
Would we still be capitalists if we had universal basic income?
"Conservative Mr Street took 216,280 votes to Mr Simon's 210,259. He won by 3,766 votes after second preferences of those who opted for other candidates were counted.

Mr Street said it was the start of a "new, urban Conservative agenda".

Overall, 26% of eligible voters chose a candidate with most people staying away from the polling stations on Thursday." [1]

So, the man has a majority of less than 2% in an election where just a tad over one quarter of those eligible actually voted. He is in charge of a unitary authority where most of the constituent authorities have Labour administrations.

What kind of mandate do you think this chap has?

It doesn't contribute much to the conversation to note that your favorite language has a canned procedure for solving an algorithmic problem like this. If you're genuinely interested in demonstrating Haskell's capabilities it would be far more constructive to offer an implementation of such a routine, that it might be compared directly to the others in the article and this thread.
I also had this problem and finally asked a therapist about it last year, because I was pregnant and having to do a million blood draws. He surprised me when he said the last thing you want to do is try to relax (which is of course what the nurse always tells you to do).

Instead, start tensing muscles in your body - legs, hands, wherever. This keeps the blood pumping to your brain so you don't faint.

It absolutely works. I can even watch them draw the blood now and feel fine.
I suspect removing unsafe is outside of the scope of Rust.

Rust tries to help you as much as possible but recognizes that it sometimes gets in the way and provides an escape hatch. The idea is to minimize and abstract the use of the escape hatch so its easily auditable.

I wish they hadn't named the escape hatch "unsafe". I think I heard the name came from PL theory but it makes it sound scarier than it is.

I remember hearing something about wanting to improve documentation around unsafe for how to best use it without running into problems.
Revel with me in the thought that we —humans— think we are center of the world.

That Earth is made for us and we have the power to shape it in whichever way we wish. That we own the planet.

But, in reality, we don't. We are here only temporarily. There are powerful organisms hiding out there who are perennial.

And they act like guards. If we push it too far, we set off the right conditions for them to spring to life, and restore balance on Earth by anhililating the threat — i.e. us.

What a time to be alive!

Indeed.
