Here's the bit that resonates with issues often discussed on HN:

"In the manifesto’s unforgettable words: “A society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells.”

The sorcerer will always imagine that their apps, search engines, robots and genetically engineered seeds will bring wealth and happiness to all. But, once released into societies divided between wage labourers and owners, these technological marvels will push wages and prices to levels that create low profits for most businesses. It is only big tech, big pharma and the few corporations that command exceptionally large political and economic power over us that truly benefit. If we continue to subscribe to labour contracts between employer and employee, then private property rights will govern and drive capital to inhuman ends. Only by abolishing private ownership of the instruments of mass production and replacing it with a new type of common ownership that works in sync with new technologies, will we lessen inequality and find collective happiness."

You don't need a different license; trademark is what regulates the name, so having a liberal copyright license doesn't mean they can use the same name.

For example, you can get Firefox under the MPL, which says nothing about having to rename, but you still can't use the name "Firefox" if you distribute a modified version, due to Mozilla's trademark policy.

Could be, but bikes on the roof of the car see a lot less carnage as well. It used to be gross, and you’d need to wash your bike after an hour on the roof, but now, not so.

There even used to be spandex covers you could out over the front of your bike on the roof rack, but I haven’t seen one in years.
There is no universalizable qualitative difference between filters that create a bubble/echo chamber and filters that do not. The word echo chamber and bubble are just meant to transport a value judgement against their existence. Which is why people often talk about other people's echo chamber and their own legitimate anti-abuse filters.

If you hold a non mainstream position you would probably want to teach your feeds to stop bombarding you with the respective mainstream position. A hundred years ago you did that through selecting a fitting club or reading a specific newspaper over another. Today you adjust filters.

What's creating a "dangerous level of false consciousness" is IMO just ignorance and media illiteracy. If people think their media diet is also everyone's media diet, they just weren't properly prepared for sophisticated media.
a few points

Nothing about this is trivial.

This is not nationalism. There should be no pride in our creation or solution to our portion of this moronic mess.

The obvious was ommitted because it was obvious. The banks are only "Irish" in a nominal sense. The people or state as a whole didn't own them. Don't forget they are international commerical businesses and can and should be shut down when they fail like any other business.

Obviously they are a critical piece of modern infrastructure and there was already plans in place for their failure such as "deposit protection insurance" schemes etc. The big question is if those plans were/are robust enough in modern countries.
We _all_ need to be able to confidentaly able to "cull" bad components of our modern infrastructure without fear of causing wider problems.

Nothing about it was altruistic. Fear and panic very obviously gripped the politicians involved on all sides.

As an interesting related historic aside, we survived reasonably well without our banks for 6 months previously when we were a much weaker economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_bank_strikes_%281966%E2%...
I have been waiting for a quite significant change in management culture for a few years now. It seems to me that a watershed moment is coming. So much thinking on the management level is drawn directly from the old manufacturing world and is such a tremendously poor fit for any form of mental work that something is going to have to give. In manufacturing, pushing for worker disposability makes sense. In mental work, it's suicide. In manufacturing, open floor plans and interruptions are fine. In mental work, it's death. In mental work, the best idea needs to win. And that's the case especially when the situation is nuanced. In-person communication generally hands every discussion to the person who is most outgoing, confident, or tallest. That generally results in the wrong idea winning and large amounts of time and resources being wasted.

One of the big challenges I see is for management to avoid over-reliance on metrics. There's a famous quote whose attribution I don't recall that says "what you measure, you optimize" which is a warning. It is exceedingly easy to create perverse incentives and direct efforts toward optimizing a metric that actually hurts your progress toward the actual goal you want to accomplish. These are the places where a real leader can be instrumental.

There are also many organizations that seek to reduce almost every task an employee does to a checklist or standard procedure. That made sense in the manufacturing world. But in mental work of any kind, most problems are going to be novel and, by necessity, so will be the solutions, which requires greater flexibility (and more trust extended to the worker). None of this even touches on the fact that human beings have very different fundamental capacities for mental work than they do for repetitive physical labor. If you attempt to do remote work and start by planning a system to monitor every keystroke and mouse movement to ensure that every action is productive, you'll burn out the most valuable people and those that remain will be working with a severe handicap. So many aspects of work seem ripe for change... maybe those thousands of studies done and ignored for the past few decades will come in handy.
1998 had progress in detente between North Korea and the United States, which was not adhered to by either party. (Congress sunk the deal on the end of the US, and North Korea reacted in kind.)

2002-2008 was, if you recall, was the era of the Axis of Evil rhetoric.
> The funny thing is, that as someone who grew up in Europe, with all those things she raves about, I feel exactly like she did in the beginning of the story.

We always want more and better, right? We might be different from the Americans in the details (albeit important ones), but we aren't that different in the big picture worldview.
> Marriage is more than sexual abstinance though.

I don't think that was what you wanted to write.
Choice is still a thing. If you want all those government benefits in exchange for making 1/3rd of what one makes in the US, go right ahead. Their immigration laws are quite a bit more restrictive than ours, so it won’t be easy, but it can be done. There are literally hundreds of millions of people who would like to move here. Tens of millions in South America alone, in spite of long vacations, “free” healthcare, and “pensions”.

The financial elements are completely irrelevant here. South Korea already pays ~1/3 of the cost of the troops there, and it’s relatively low compared to say the Iraq war.

Roll back some tax cuts if the US is too poor I guess.

Tl;dr, the 4878 word parable is the dragon that kills thousands each day represents death and people say nothing can be done about it gets killed in the end by a missile.

Bostrom then argues "we have compelling moral reasons to get rid of human senescence." Which is kinda ok I guess though I'm not sure the analogy is very good. Everyone seems in favour of better health and I'm in a minority who like the idea of semi immortality through uploading but I'm not sure the dragon story is very helpful here.
Do you report these to the police? It seems as if the "rent houses" could provide a pretty easy connection back to the criminals.

> If you want all those government benefits in exchange for making 1/3rd of what one makes in the US, go right ahead.

Over here we don't consider that healthcare and education are a "government benefit". We consider them rights.

But you sound slightly offended. Like now you're trying to prove that some people like the USA. You don't have to prove anything dude.
Also, no need to knead with this method.

The metadata in this case is the ability to read english text.
You're not wrong. The OS does make it possible for the app to do things that are problematic, though (the facebook messenger head bubbles, whatever they're called, that can obstruct other apps, for example). Gnome notifications are relatively unobtrusive, they can only appear in one place (though I don't like that they can obstruct other apps), and there isn't a culture of every app thinking they have to interrupt you multiple times a day.

It's a team effort, I'd say, though facebook is where I lay most of the blame. I'm just ranting in general about the state of notifications and how insistent and entitled so many apps have become on many platforms, not really calling out specific operating systems or developers (though all the notifications I was complaining about in Windows were from Windows itself and not facebook or the like, so we have to lay all the blame on Microsoft in that case).

Edit: after thinking about it, I don't think the OS should impose good taste (eg to prevent Facebook messenger head bubbles from being really annoying and obstructing other apps), since that would mean apps that legitimately need that ability wouldn't be able to do so. I'd guess Twilight, a blue screen filter app I use and like, wouldn't be able to do it's thing if Android didn't allow apps to operate on other apps display. Facebook just needs to stop being so obnoxious.

Unlocking the Mystery of Tesla's Model 3 Ramp
The one thing in the article that I'm curious about is the removal of some of the automated systems. They mention it several times and say things like "other car manufactures learned long ago that you can't automate everything". What process are they talking about? Final assembly? Paint? And why can't you automate these areas? Are the robots not subtle enough or smart enough? I would like to know more.
I think I saw the article a few minutes ago on the first or the second page, and now it's already on the 13th, the last one, the last item. Wow. That's fast. Correction: it's gone from the pages completely as I posted this.
LOL. I seem to recall spending a grad school time sitting in a cubicle in a remote corner of the library with a pile of books and papers. Not too conducive to 'community' except for the 2 or 3 people who -had- to read my scrivening.
Don't dismiss the knowledge of store chains as something silly and bad. It's about life's little needs. You need to know where to buy tons of little items for the right price/quality and moving countries means all that knowledge needs to be rebuilt. Since I buy most of these things from the various chains then yes, moving countries means having discover again the chains/stores that I need.

I actually felt this when I moved from Europe to the US. Suddenly I had no idea where to buy food ingredients, kitchen items, etc that weren't too expensive but were not of crappy quality either. Even the relative value of things (ex. is a $4 loaf of bread expensive or cheap? Converting to the previous currency and comparing prices doesn't work at all). Also, Europeans don't realize but the US has a lot more choices for almost everything (well, I guess except broadband Internet and some other things, heh). That's great in general but it's overwhelming to the newcomer.
Presumably the remainder was harmless non-yeast.
I have never answered any of the questions myself, and it begs just as shamelessly. Came with the phone and can't be removed. I suppose I should be thankful I can at least disable its notifications. I really do not comprehend what the thinking is behind various apps being preloaded on a phone and then straight up not being removable. Like... I can't uninstall Facebook? Really? Who thought it was a good idea to have a 'disable' but no 'uninstall' option? I just don't get it.
Well, fair enough. The goal should be society mentally healthy enough so people don't want to hurt each other.

I understand that people think about that as a technical problem (people hurt through weapons, therefore decrease availability - problem solved) however this is not solving the problem at all:

You wouldn't want a society of violent people who just never got the chance to hurt others either.

The technicality of decreasing the availability of weapons (which, as said, might as well be valid) feels so out of place in the article since the rest of it is actually about culture.

It appears to me that the author points at a cultural problm and then interrupts everything to feature this US gun thing.

If there's a failure to provide for those who cannot follow the rules, then the systemic effect is kicking to the curb.

What of those whose "respect" failures aresuch that they cannot gain or hold a job? Discrimination, disability, drugs testing, convictions or arrest screens, etc.?

The sytem you describe kicks them to the curb as well.

All of this also studiously ignores the fact that housing has been underbuilt for decades ineconomically vital areas.
Ooh, let me post my comment from the last time this was posted here back in 2015:

One day, an anti-dragonist on a speaking tour visited a town. When he arrived, most of the town's inns were already full, and he had to make do with a small room in a small in in a run-down part of the town.
The next morning, he stood outside the inn on his soap box and told people about how the dragon could be defeated. A small crowd gathered around him. When he had finished speaking, a woman asked: "My children are hungry. My husband went off to war against the tigers and never came back. How does killing the dragon help them?"

"Well, they too will one day be fed to the dragon!"

"But they are hungry now. My baby is very weak. She cries all the time. Even if she doesn't die, she's going to grow up stunted."

"I'm sure you can find a way. Anyway, I'm here to talk about the dragon, it's..."

Another interrupted him: "My son was killed by the king's men three weeks ago. They laughed as they cut him down. No one will hear my case."

"Well, I'm sure they had a good reason. Your son was probably a criminal."

Another said: "My family beats me because I don't want to marry the man they chose for me. Right now, I wouldn't mind being eaten."

"Listen. I'm not interested in the problems of you little people. They're not my problems, and anyway, you're probably lying, or exaggerating, or just not trying hard enough. But I'm scared of the dragon, because the dragon's going to eat everyone, including me. So we should concentrate on that, don't you agree?"

And the people rolled their eyes and walked away.

>the worst symptoms of a problem that goes deeper and is much more broad

I think that problem is a mental illness / personality disorder epidemic among Americans under 35 that is being completely ignored.
The problem with these common ownership ideas is that hierarchy is inherent in human structures.

Whether it's labeled 'for the people' or not, you end up with the same distribution of decision makers and benefactors concentrated at the top.

It's not a problem in capitalism but one of humanity or maybe even natural law.

Yes, there's a possibility. I'd give it about 1 in 100 cumulative over the century. In comparison, if I had those odds for an airplane crash, I would never fly.
Fake books sold on Amazon could be used for money laundering
Well, I am in favor of extending life indefinitely and even creating "back-ups" of people.

But I think it's important to emphasize this would not be some easy victory or simple change in society whose implications we wouldn't have to very carefully consider.

There's everything from overpopulation to society become stagnant to universal boredom and beyond to consider.

We humans are biological creatures. Aging is part of our present day existence so this level of change would change a whole lot.

So, I don't necessarily disagree that "death is bad" but I think ONLY saying may also be bad.
I certainly can judge them for lying on their CV. As I explained in another thread, from my further conversation with him, this developer obviously had no clue about either of these text editors and clearly included them in his CV just as random keywords.
No, that's not how it works - indexing a string returns a byte, and strings have len() their bytes in UTF8.

Ranging a string does return unicode runes, however, but ranging is obviously O(n) anyway.

Amazon doesn't appear to be doing much about its problem with fakes.

But this, if it does include money laundering, may attract regulators with teeth.

Also, Amazon wouldn't be able to get away with this nonsense if they were compliant with EU data protection laws:

> Reames says Amazon has told him that it can send him a letter “acknowledging than I’m disputing ever having received the funds, because they said they couldn’t prove I didn’t receive the funds” and won’t share the details of the payee.
> I predict that the next-generation blockchains will be hosted on Github, and only then will software development be fully decentralized.

How would hosting a blockchain on the servers of a centralized company whose sole purpose to exist is to be a centralized gateway for what was by all rights a decentralized lead to a world of software development that is fully decentralized?! That sounds like the exact opposite of what we need to do :/.

Wow, the more time goes on, the more "Behold!! The Protong!" ( * ) seems to be an accurate assessment of things. He specifically targetted this artifact as an example of evidence that ancient civilizations were a lot more lucid than we thought.

Szukalski had some crack-pot ideas (Zermatism, Protong), but the idea that humans hadn't gotten quite the right perspective on ancient art is one of his most endearing claims.

"The MoSCoW method is a prioritization technique used in management, business analysis, project management, and software development to reach a common understanding with stakeholders on the importance they place on the delivery of each requirement; it is also known as MoSCoW prioritization or MoSCoW analysis.

The term MoSCoW itself is an acronym derived from the first letter of each of four prioritization categories (Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have), with the interstitial Os added to make the word pronounceable. While the Os are usually in lower-case to indicate that they do not stand for anything, the all-capitals MOSCOW is also used." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoSCoW_method
The idea that everything can be bought and sold, for example your feudal estate, is quite new. I think Varoufakis is a somewhat of a disciple of Karl Polanyi on these matters.

But I agree that the notion of "a new type of common ownership that works in sync with new technologies" needs much more spelling out.

The regulation was because the companies were NOT competing in the market for phone chargers through vendor lock in. I don’t know about you but I’m glad I no longer have to keep a box with 30 different chargers anymore. More electronics jumped on the USB charging bandwagon and phone recharging stations are suddenly a thing. Apple somehow seems to have escaped the regulation, sadly.
You can get $350-400k/yr total in San Francisco as a mid-career IC SWE. I have surveyed what SWEs make in Europe and it brought a tear to my eye. I guess that’s why most of the good ones are already here.

US health insurance costs about $13k a year for a family of 3, for a decent plan, and that’s if you pay for all of it yourself (ie you’re unemployed but wealthy, so don’t qualify for special rates). In-state tuition is also not too bad.
