To me, calling them "crazy" is insulting to their culture and people. For the label to be justified, you'd have to argue the action contributes to ruin.

For example, I think the Venezuelan leadership has made crazy decisions that are being borne out now.

Vendors benefit from standardization when it comes to the ISA, especially in the commodity/interchangeable market. Qualcomm is currently competing with other vendors to run the same software (Android or Windows). If they make ISA extensions which are not likely to be used by that software, then they're probably wasting their time, or those extensions were not that useful for the general community to begin with.

Useful ISA extensions are likely to remain royalty free at least, if not standardized at the level of the foundation; but if they don't, it's not the end of the world.

Greece had many problem to solve. It's why they collapse. Not only about the Euro but about the organization, culture of doing nothing. I'm a bit bad with them but when you don't have any register of the real estate and just need to pretend that you own the land for whatever reason, should not be surprised that the country is falling...and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Long term thinking isn't possible in the US because we have a democratic government. The only 'solution' that would make it possible is to centralize under one party and create an oppressive government that doesn't give a shit about its people. I don't really know if that's what you are advocating for here, but I think it's important to highlight that the reason China is so good at planning ahead is because it will let nothing get in its way. Saying that the 'us political system is an utter joke' makes it seem to me like you think China's is somehow better, but I don't get how you can think that based on the parent comment you're responding to. Should we be calling for the US government to displace millions of people for every construction project? Should we limit the rights of every minority (whether biological, religious, political, etc.) and continue moving against their will? Should we ban access to information which criticizes our government in order to stop political dissent?a

> The practical difference is that I think there should be further research to design inherently safe approaches and processes to reduce the risk until it's orders of magnitude safer

In practice this attitude makes you pro-coal (but not in a dogmatic way).

In the real world, waiting for things to improve before pulling the trigger means using what's currently used until then. That has costs.

What's the energy source that's most dangerous? The common sense answer is nuclear (probably because of nuclear bombs first, Chernobyl second). Some clever people might argue about coal given its high emission output.

But at least by death count, the winner is clearly hydro power. Mostly due to the Banqiao Dam incident [1] which directly killed 26,000 people and indirectly killed 145,000.

Of course, that incident is a mess of stupid decision after stupid decision and some might want to claim that it's an outlier. To that I will reply that the same can be said of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima (as well as every other hydro incident[2]).

The fact is that the world is full of stupid. I predict that in the future there will be some solar power company that figures out how to kill a bunch of people with a battery fire. And yet, that won't change anything to my support of hydropower or solar power. Nuclear safety is a minor issue compared to its advantages over coal and other fossil fuels.

That's not really true. There are plenty of places where the voting system wouldn't hurt third parties (districts where one part or the other is practically non-existent, districts where the incumbent doesn't face a challenger, non-partisan races), but you largely don't see them making any progress there either.

The VPP is the most successful third party (most state reps), and it's only active in one state. The complete inability for other third parties to make almost any progress underscores the problems with the parties themselves (independents have been more successful than third party candidates).

I love the system and like that it's being used extensively in some countries (e.g. UK) and becoming more prevalent in others (e.g. Germany). What's annoying are the differences in rules. In the UK it only works up to £30 (but terminals show the logo for any amount), in Spain it will work but I'll have to enter a PIN for higher amounts, other countries have completely different rules around that.
Hi dwaltrip :)

> It's like asking for mass without of gravity. The consciousness _is_ the understanding of each instantaneous moment.

Of course, if someone were to somehow spend time conscious without association, they wouldn't be able to convince anyone they did so. Maybe it's impossible, maybe it's possible, but it's not very amenable to debate.

So I'm trying to stick to more empirically testable claims. In particular, here I'm hypothesizing that the reason we believe consciousness is equivalent to its various functions is that we don't have enough precision of awareness to distinguish them. The experiment is simple (though not easy): become increasingly aware of the subtle processes, and plot your belief over time. My own result (and that of many who have done the experiment) is that I've clarified two aspects of my experience ("the sheer fact of experience" and "the particular forms it takes") in such a way that I no longer identify them. YMMV, but I think it's a wonderful exercise!

Relatedly, I'm curious what you think of the idea that you can only know that you are conscious, whereas it is impossible (even in principle) to know whether another being is.

Thanks as always for the chat.
In what respect is --pretty=format not producing machine-readable output? Is putting null bytes between the fields not machine-readable enough for you? You want to use 0x1d instead? You could do that.
If this is affecting you it's best to put a long TTL (at least 1 hour) on your domains. That way a good lookup will be cached longer and it will affect less people.

"in front of their property" is one way of looking at this; "alongside a road" is another.

> We will never have perfect sidewalks, it's a noble goal, but it's pie-in-the-sky thinking to want perfect sidewalks.

We'll never have perfect anything. But I think you're being more than a bit defeatist here. I'm in the US Northeast and the sidewalk in my house was installed in 2008. Still basically flawless today. As homeowners, we accept that we need a new roof every 25 years because the consequences are real and tangible to us. I have to think that sidewalks are just part of the cost of living in a walkable community, even if we don't walk that much.

A few communities down, they require sidewalk maintenance for residents if the pavers are uneven at all. It's a very affluent borough, but you'll see people grind down the edges of the sidewalk that stick up in order to meet the code. So you can maintain without replacing.

And besides, we don't have this logic for roads. I mean, SUVs can handle anything, so why bother with all of this even pavement with good drainage?

>Instead, we should be building better accessibility devices, ones that can navigate tough terrain.

You're being downvoted for the first paragraph, but I think your second paragraph is sensible. My running stroller is way better at handling broken sidewalks than the scissor stroller with tiny wheels that fits great in a small trunk and works well at the mall. Strollers aren't super expensive (at least not $30k like that wheelchair) so I can have more than one and use the best one for my situation.

We see concept robots that can handle rough terrain. Wouldn't it be great if that got integrated into wheelchairs somehow?

Have a look at Labdoor's magnesium supplement reviews,[1] but keep in mind that the supplement they gave the highest quality score, Life Extension Magnesium Caps, is not necessarily the best supplement. It contains magnesium oxide, citrate, succinate, lysinate, and glycinate, but seeing as they managed to squeeze 500 mg of elemental magnesium into one capsule that a human can swallow, it's probably mostly magnesium oxide and not much of the other forms. So I would steer clear of that one.

Magnesium oxide is cheaper and less bulky than other supplemental forms of magnesium, but it is supposedly poorly absorbed.

The other top Mg supplements on Labdoor's list look OK, and I use Doctor's Best Magnesium (glycinate/lycinate) myself. Examine.com has a great article on magnesium,[2] including descriptions of the various magnesium compounds used in supplements. Tl;dr: magnesium citrate is well absorbed and relatively cheap. There are other good forms, but they are usually more expensive.

There's a wiki page that describes how to modify the ChromeOS installation media to reset the gbb flags that control legacy boot on the 2013 model without needing to do a full reinstall CrOS -> fix flags -> reinstall Linux. (edit, I am shocked I found my way back there... https://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-f...)

Also, they claimed that it was impossible to hit that condition on the 2015 model (the gbb flags are stored in a non-volatile area), yet I did have it happen to me once. Not sure if it was possibly due to a CrOS Dev-channel update, as I was dual-booting for a while to get firmware updates.

(My 2015 model now runs a TianoCore UEFI payload in the main ROM slot, so I avoid any of those problems).

Live Chat Statistics: Trends and Insights from 1000 Consumers and 100 Businesses
Consumers are more likely to remain loyal, engage in positive word of mouth, and spend up to $500 extra per month with businesses that provide effortless live chat experiences.

- 79% of businesses say offering live chat has had a positive effect on sales, revenue, and customer loyalty

- 38% of consumers are more likely to buy from a company if they offer live chat support

- 51% of consumers are more likely to stay with or buy again from a company if they offer live chat support

- 63% of people who spend between $250-500 a month online are the most likely to both buy from, and be loyal to, companies who offer live chat

But, there's a disconnect between business and consumer expectations of how live chat should be.

Let me use another metaphor to describe why some of us more "common folk" roll our eyes when we see objections like this prominent in the comments: while HN doesn't seem to miss the forest for the trees, it often seems as or more interested in focusing on a few individual trees than discussing the forest.

I don't think the correctness or incorrectness of the scale of the metaphor really changes the way the whole article reads. Yet it's the first discussion piece I see in the comments on HN, and that doesn't surprise me a bit.

That said, it's a known quirk of the site and not a problem in my mind. I don't hate the tendency even it does cause a regular eye roll from me.

No, the TTL for caching NXDOMAIN is decided by the nameservers SOA record. In this case 900 (15 minutes). The reason for this is that if there's no domain there's also no way to get it's TTL.
That's pretty much Bain's modus operandi for all their holdings.
i think negative results are cached using a different value. [https://serverfault.com/questions/426807/how-long-does-negat...]

I am not a lawyer, but MIT and BSD are thought to have implicit patent grants.[1] It would be completely absurd for a company to argue that they give the public the right to use their software, but "just kidding -- we were secretly withholding the rights to the patents all along so that we could sue you for using our software!" An apparent problem with Facebook's PATENTS file is that it explicitly withdraw the patent license if Facebook decides to infringe on your patents and you speak up about it.

I'm not sure if the author of that article is partially trolling in the attempt to get Facebook's patents terms applied to the entire spec.

The best solution would be to abolish software patents completely.

I think this entire PATENTS situation with Facebook is a good reason why people should prefer Free software that is created and managed by individual developers and independent foundations over "open source" software produced by large companies with legal teams and dubious agendas.

I agree that the project is cool. But I just want to give the answer that always aught to be given whenever someone on HN says "I wish we had X when I was learning this stuff", where X usually is some visual way of illustrating a concept. And that is simply that there really isn't any good substitute to learning mathematics to simply doing a bunch of problems with good old dry symbols. Visualizations are great, and they can aid intuition. But that is not the be all and end all. Struggle and doing a large number of problems really is necessary in order to internalize this stuff to such a degree that you maintain a deep understanding ten years after you were first exposed to it.
