I think one overlooked factor here is the next move for companies should Net Neutrality remain in force. Reading the Telco act that NN is based on, it allows the FCC to decide which ISPs to be burdened with the regulation(the intention being that small ISPs aren't affected).

The next natural move for ISPs would be to lobby that their competitors are regulated but they are not. Since clearly ISPs have a strong lobby arm, wouldn't this be a great tool to use to essentially end any competition among ISPs? It'd be very much MAD - don't infringe on our turf or we will start a NN war with you.

I think that's one of the unintended consequences of NN.
They'll have even less incentive to improve their current offerings, which I don't think many people are satisfied by. Will the end goal here be to essentially nationalize ISPs?

They're swayed by ads? I'm surprised they don't need to do a formal RFP among the handful of companies who can make an MRI certified for medical use.
No disagreement from my side, but that's how the law generally [1] works.

[1] In Germany, there is a specific section of the public code governing ToS ("AGB-Gesetz", part of the BGB). Among other things, it forbids "unexpected" terms, acknowledging that people usually cannot read all the ToS that they have to agree to in practice. Quite a few ToS have been nullified by courts because of that rule.
Sometimes the compiler will autovectorize, but you're right that these are important. That's why it's actively being designed; it's a temporary limitation, not an inherent property.
Un-Identity: Climbing Down the Other Side of Peak Liberalism
I'd commented to the same effect earlier on Google's own Identity Service: Google+.

I think Google's dropped the ball, badly, on identity and authentication (though they're ... making some movement with physical 2FA).

I've got massive misgivings myself about private tech firms getting into this space, though I do think they might have useful elements to add by way of suggesting protocols and standards. And I'd be really suprised if various majors aren't part of the discussion. Google, Facebook, Microsoft (remember Passport?), Oracle, IBM. And databrokers such as ADP. Plus banking and financial institutions, who've mostly created the mess....

Wages are high if the supply of labour is low and the employer has money for wages. If supply is low and the employer does not have money, then the job won't exist. This is why tech workers wouldn't benefit from a union very much.
It's not just social pressure, for some it's outright forced by the employer. E.g. civil servants have to maintain a healthy BMI. You are given a physical examination once a year and if your BMI is too high you have to go on a diet or you're fired.
The two things that made me install FreeBSD rather than OpenBSD was (1) the better hardware support when it comes to Intel-derived architectures, and (2) not as opinionated and, frankly, in many cases plain rude, project leads.

From a technical and documentation standpoint, OpenBSD is utterly fantastic and FreeBSD is doing its best to get ahead.
My memory of implementing COPPA compliance a decade ago was that DOB was an implicit requirement, the explicit requirement being “confirm they’re over 13; a checkbox isn’t good enough because they’ll clearly just lie.” (paraphrased, not quoted).

Stress is a factor of hormones and metabolic factors.
Brain has constant metabolic consumption whether awake or asleep. Endocrine functions of brain are carried out by release of hormones directly into portal (venous) systems.

Intracellular adenosine which builds up over the course of waking day may be uptaken by brain lymphatics but would play a small part if they are inside the dura as this states.
In fact, given clearance rate that is suggested from the article by way of position and size, they likely contribute very minimally to any clearance function if at all(unless further discoveries show intra brain lymphatics)
from past headlines, wework seemed puzzling. $20B valuation from some of the sharpest investors for a startup that rents office space to other startups? most notably, won't the leases become lethal financial anchors once a downturn hits and customers dry up? look at the dot-com era and the corpses of companies reliant on VC-funded startups!

here are the key passages from the article:

===

Over the past couple years, WeWork has signed up companies like GM, GE, Samsung, Salesforce, Bank of America and Bacardi. Earlier this year, WeWork allotted an entire building in Greenwich Village to IBM, and now big companies generate 30% of monthly sales.

For growing companies WeWork offers a way to enter new cities without the hassle of scouting locations, negotiating contracts, designing the space and hiring vendors. "There is no reason to rent office space," says Josh Kushner, the founder of the VC firm Thrive Capital and cofounder of Oscar Health, which launched its Los Angeles market from a WeWork site. "It's a one-stop shop. Business is hard enough, and these guys take out all the friction."

===

by no means does the article provide enough data to conclude wework is a sustainable business, let alone an attractive one worth $20B.

however, these passages outline the bull case: managing real estate and office operations for all companies with knowledge workers. not only startups.

commercial real estate for knowledge workers is a colossal market.

obviously a ton of risk remains, but at least now the $20B valuation -- and the bet investors are making -- make a lot more sense.

Agreed. The probability that I would ever come across this while browsing elsewhere is trivially low, and yet it was interesting enough to read through and learn a bit about piston maintenance.
It depends how much you want those employees (and possibly, customers / users).

I agree. I thought we were past that point of figuring out the structural parts. To me, the most interesting things are metabolic pathways, which are incredibly complex, photobiomodulation (effects of eg near infrared light), and electromagnetism (eg electrolyte channels can be triggered by em radiation). But knowledge about this lymph system in the brain could prove SO useful for so many disorders. If eg bodyweight set points are modulated by inflammation in the hypothalamus, would this not in some way be affected by the lymph system?
It's still a very realistic reason that someone would prefer C over Rust. Having to learn Rust, it being harder to hire for, etc. are really just as irrelevant to the named requirements, but important concerns nonetheless.

I'd be surprised if they don't take asymmetrical heating into account when designing pistons of today, the oil cool the piston from below, and combustion heat it from above. But I can imagine that the effect is less, because emission regulations have been driving down combustion temperatures.

SSN in fact does not work well for that.

There are fewer than 1 billion unique SSNs. Yes, there are 8 digits, but there are significant ranges of invalid values. The Social Security Administration will run out of numbers within a few decades, at most.

It's one thing to have enough values to assign everybody. It's another for the namespace to be so densely populated that any randomly-chosen value is likely to be valid. This ... creates problems.

There are no check or validity values within SSNs. There's a structure to the digits (Area, Group, and Serial numbers), but even those are at best vague, there've been three regimes of assignment (< 1972, 1972-2011, and 2011+), and other than "this value isn't within a validly assigned range", there are, again, no validity checks.

Provisions for being issued a new SSN are at best cumbersome.

That's just off the top of my head. I've worked in large-scale data analysis and processing, though years ago, and there are long and detailed discussions of the limitations and failures of SSNs even just as account identifiers.

Using them outside the SSA only compounds those issues.
Your app is an onion: Why software projects spiral out of control
American culture puts a lot of emphasis on being self-sufficient, yes, but most of us aren't raised to put our needs ahead of what is right.

When my grandfather died a year ago, I found out that he and my grandmother had set up a special CD for my brother to get when they both die, but not one for me. My response was basically "Well, he has a wife and two kids, and he's a teacher. I'm single, working in IT, and living overseas. They obviously felt that he needs it more than I do, and they're probably right."

None of us are perfect, but a majority are still decent.

Good point.

The bus thing is not the only example those people are contradictory against themselves. They blame techies for the hike of real-estate price, which to certain degree is justified. But at the same time they also oppose any construction of high density accommodation, blaming the company for destroying the neighborhood culture, talking about the good old days with orchards and trees.

I think what is really important here is, story like this fits into the narrative that big companies are inherently evil, and live their success on the misery of everyone else. I think you will be surprised how wide-spread it is, even on HN.

My biggest issue is their motivation: it is completely destructive. The only resolution, if according to them, is to reverse this, which I don't know how to accomplish, without severely disrupting the local economy, but I guess they don't care either, they got the clicks already. shrug.
I think nothing in the article is actually obsolete. Possible though that using modern computer aided design allows for better control of how the piston expands.

Thermal mechanical stuff is a big pain. One of my professors mentioned as a young engineer measuring expansion on exhaust manifolds by drawing faint scratches and microscope to measure how far they stretched as the manifold got hot. Important because localized thermally induced stress causes fatigue cracking.
Working on it!

(I work at Stripe)
Modern pistons have much less contact with the cylinder wall. The part Chrysler has "cam ground" is no longer even part of the piston -- it's missing! The main job of the fit is the rings, not the piston. Right, for the "thrust" parts, they are still there and much thicker than what Chrysler was showing.

There's much more now, e.g., titanium connecting rods.

Perhaps look at it another way - assigning a Nobel peace prize is a way of putting wider attention onto someone, and maybe works as a soft pressure to keep them behaving a little? For half a year or so after you get awarded a peace prize, your profile in the world is a lot higher than normal, perhaps giving you a bit more of a nudge in the right direction.

Also, Aung San Suu Kyi won her Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, 26 years ago. How old is that? Well, that was the year that the world-wide-web was born. Kurt Cobain was still alive. George Bush was in office and was just 'George Bush', not 'George Bush Sr' (and the first Bush war against Iraq started in January). The Soviet Union still existed, dissolved only in December of that year. Street Fighter II hit the arcades. The Rodney King beating sparked the LA riots. The war that gave us the term 'ethnic cleansing' started that year in Yugoslavia. Apartheid was still going on in South Africa, with a couple of years left to go. Linus Torvalds announces Linux on comp.os.minix.

Calling the Nobel Peace Prize bullshit because a recipient behaves differently-to-expected a generation later is itself bullshit.
Exactly! It's like saying a bug in production is caused by the programmer who wrote it. While actually it's the lack of a proper QA process.

Interesting and obvious in many ways. The recruiters of course has all the interest in the world to deliver the right candidate. I would be interested if people have any recommendations in this regards as well.
What about regulating what corporations to reduce the constant pressure pushing people to make bad decisions?

The UK has banned junk food ads in or around content targeted at children.

New York tried to regulate soda sizes, which would have forced companies to rebrand their 'XXL' sizes as '3 servings' if it had passed.

Maybe I'm naive, but I do believe that many people would make better choices, were they better informed.
And people wonder why companies have to resort to hoarding user data for monetisation…
This is so well executed. After looking at it many times, I am really impressed.

However, from an ad spending perspective, I see few drawbacks which hold me back:

- Nowadays, most users are on mobile; often 50%, sometimes even more; this concept doesn't work on mobile because everything is so tiny

- Then, just imagine, this thing is full of ads and links; I don't think that Google's SEO team will classify this page as spam but who knows, from a technical perspective it is a spam page because of that many links

- With so many ads on one page you will face a very low CTR
Can you elaborate on the relation of your second clause and your conclusion? I'm not seeing how this relates to the role and nature of unions.
>As the article states, the reasons for obesity are "complex," and 'involve blaming society, and everyone else' for individual choices.

Which makes total sense, because "individual choices" are never made from a blank state, but always in an already developed environment, which pushes towards certain vectors more so than to others.

While it's a classic (religious-derived) moral point to put it all on individual choice, the people who do so overestimate their own ability to make choices. Either because they lived life in easy mode (so they can't fathom the forces that make it hard for others to take the high road) or because they are the rare outliers that made it to the other side despite the circumstances (and suffer from survivor bias).

Humans are very imperfect machines, able to be manipulated from countless evolutionary-derived tricks -- which casinos, super markets, marketeers, politicians, and of course fast-food joints and the food industry take advantage of. The second point (tricks that can be used to manipulate people towards certain actions, from adding salt/sugar to some food to changing the color of light in a room have been studied a-plenty.

If we were raised any society of the past where some beliefs where held by most, most of us would support them (eg. pro Party in 1936 Germany, pro slavery in 1820 South), "individual choices" be damned. The outcome wouldn't be the same if we were asked our opinion for the same things in another society/time.

It would be creepy having to live in a employers' housing unit. But if it is subsidized enough many would jump on it.

The interview process at many of these company is already geared to bring in college graduates. So a dorm of sort would make sense. Then they could outfit them work spaces so you could live there and maybe work remotely (but only from a company provided housing unit).

How about just letting people work from home to begin with so they don't all have to be crammed into one town or one building so that they can then all type on a computer? It is rather interesting I think these companies sell digital connectivity, collaboration, -- but when it comes to themselves they like to shove everyone into buildings.

This is a major concern of mine as well.

For some purposes, there's a need for a single identifier. For others, various counterparties only need to agree that they are talking about the same party. Creating paired (or multi-part) keys might work for that. (This could also cut down on the rampant and promiscuous data exchanges that occur currently, particularly if the subject of the data had to participate in the making of any such shared identifier.)

For the general case of online identity, I'd really like to see the concept of an identity manager, with various policies which could be set, both as defaults and with specific counterparties.

As an example, I might have a policy that "all sites default to a one-time session identifier which is destroyed after 24 hours". This gives a stateful history for 24 hours, but a clean slate afterwards. It should be enough for basic site navigation, but not for deeper interactions (e.g., posting inane comments to HN). The periods might be longer or shorter.

For a select set of sites, persistent IDs might be presented, but specific only to a given site.

And where necessary, a set of sites might have a common ID. Say, a cluster of systems used for work purposes.

And if needs be, you might have a limited set of systems -- your government pensions account, tax systems, and voting registration, say -- which link to a specific government-issued ID.

For such a system, I see a physical token (I'm partial to very-near-field chips in a worn form-factor, say an NFC-ring), some additional input (password, passphrase, possibly biometrics), and then, by way of an identity management system (probably on a local device), the identity assertion specific to a given service is offered.

There are any number of other elments to this, including the problems of deanonymising data and such. For that I see legal reforms coming into place, which is a longer discussion.
