>unethical would be the private email server set up to push unecrypted backups

Running one's own email server is not unethical, in fact, many on HN do just that. I can't say I've ever seen the allegation about "unecrypted backups," but I'm not sure of the relevance in any case. Care to elaborate (and cite)?

>Not to mention sending classified materials to Anthont Wiener's laptop, and generally mishandling classified info

You're on HN, so can we assume you understand how email servers work? IMAP/SMTP?

>Was it ethical to fund a known phony dossier through Fusion GPS, the British, and Ukraine?

Why would anyone pay for phony information instead of just making it up?
Hah, sorry! You can always release an 0.4 compatible first, and then add the stuff from 0.5. Sounds like a great project!
> After that I mainly use Amazon for small household consumables.

I got fake Dove soap from Amazon.
I completely agree. The primary reason to not eat meat is that it's inherently unethical (factory farm or not). But a lot of people don't feel that way, so any argument that will persuade them to eat less (or no) meat works in my book.
They're increasingly nothing more than a platform like eBay or Alibaba (soon they'll have the ad business to match). However that won't save them from having to be careful as their dominance continues to increase. If you own the $200 billion platform, you wield the power, not the little guy selling $100k or $1m worth of merchandise per year. Regulators will focus on the platform owner and any broad market abuses that harm consumers. Bezos potentially going toward $200 billion in personal wealth guarantees they'll perpetually be a target, it doesn't matter how good they are to consumers, that much concentrated economic power terrifies a lot of people; his wealth alone will be taken by many as evidence of wrong doing, it's a lightning rod for attention. Gates solved that by pledging to give most of his wealth away and moving to philanthropy as a primary focus. Bezos is going to have a harder time based on what he has said he plans to do (assuming Amazon's insane valuation doesn't implode after this round of the asset inflation party ends).
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a coordinated effort against Amazon by an attacker using this strategy (poisoning the well at scale). That’d fix their comingling problem straight away.

Why US spends 2-3x in dollars per capita, and almost as much more in percent of GDP, on healthcare than Germany and France and similar countries is an interesting question...but is at actually an important question?

The thing that is causing most of the problems for people when it comes to affording healthcare is that the costs keep going up. We think we've finally got something we can afford...and then in a few short years we can no longer afford it. It has outstripped our pay and our investments.

This is not just a US problem, either. Costs are going up at roughly the same rate in those other countries. E.g., US to Germany dollars per capita ratio in 2017 for healthcare was 1.8.

In 2010, it was 1.8.

In 2000, it was 1.7.

In 1990, it was 1.5.

I'd happily for the US continuing to pay the high amount we are now paying if we could just curb the growth so that whenever I manage to get coverage I can afford I can keep it for a long time.

Here's a site with all the data available for download, and explorable interactively on the site [1]. Uncheck "latest data available" and use the year range slider to select a range, and it will show you the growth in several countries over that range. You can use the filters to narrow it to specific countries or groups like G7, G20, OECD, etc.

> I'm not sure that employees at big companies really understand all the unintended consequences of it.

They knew - just like they know people don't read EULAs. They didn't care because it was CYA action that took the bullseye off their collective backs. Those that pretended to care requested "credit card age verification" to improve their funnel conversion.
I guess I can hate you for mixing perfectly good Jim Beam into soda or whatever, but other than that, what's the problem?

For American whiskey, just drink lots of cheap whiskey and figure out what you like and don't like. Buy some Heaven Hill and some Knob Creek --- which is aged Jim Beam --- and see if you have a preference between the two; if you like the Knob Creek more, you like a little rye, and if you like the Heaven Hill, explored wheated bourbon.

For Scotch, try Springbank (Campbelltown), Aberlour A'bunadh (Speyside), and Bowmore (Islay). See which you like best.

If you're at a point where you have a particular kind of bourbon you like (high-rye or wheated or whatever) and a particular kind of Scotch you like (low peat or lots of sherry or whatever), then, I've got bad news for you: relative to the population, you are officially "into whiskey". :)

Start cheap and stay cheap as long as you can. Get to a point where if you're spending more than $30 for American whiskey or $60 for Scotch, you know exactly where the money is going and why you're spending it. I think that's the antidote to becoming a vanity whiskey weirdo.

BT in the UK do this. It's awesome, but doesn't fix encoding delays like iPlayer is suffering from. Plus, it's over their Network which is a subset of the UK public internet infrastructure.

I had an old blog page about how it was designed but I took it down. May be worth revisiting it. That said the general public prefer unicast so they can watch it when they want, which renders multicast a moot point.
Retirement financial planning would be easier. If I knew I would die at 80, I'd know how much money I needed to be able to retire. I'd know when to start taking Social Security. I'd know how much I could spend in a year after I retired.

I'd also be able to leave my affairs in a decent state for my survivors, instead of in a mess.

Yes, the rabbit hole goes deep in the perception question. Which is why I think it's important that we recognize the nested abstractions when we are trying to describe concepts - especially when they are interpreted from things that we don't have even fundamental perceptual abstractions for.

With Amazon in Europe it’s like with a lot of things, the German and British versions have basically become the standard, and everyone uses them now.

Amazon.de ships to half of Europe with the same conditions, and is translated into all those languages as well.

Still, it’s not really proper support.
Our health is at risk because the EPA is choosing not to take scientific publications at face value with not even the most basic way to check work?

Have the authors of this article actually confirmed that this would include non-anonymized data unfit for public consumption?

Added: The actual document does not specify "raw data", it is much more specific about what data they expect.

> The proposed regulation provides that, for the science pivotal to its significant regulatory actions, EPA will ensure that the data and models underlying the science is publicly available in a manner sufficient for validation and analysis.

"A manner sufficient for validation and analysis" is a completely different standard than "all the data the study produced".
>>What stopped Soviet tanks from rolling into West Berlin? It wasn’t a brigade of huggable teddy bears.

The same thing that stops them now, nuclear weapons, huge military and NATO. No one is suggesting to not have defense or to stop spending money on defense. US already spends more on defense than next 10 countries in the list combined, most of which are US allies [1]. There is no need to spend more.

That's correct. The unicast is there to catch up to the next multicast key frame and reduces the channel hop lag.
Some conversation on CockroachDB vs FaunaDB here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16878102

The primary difference is in the interface (SQL vs NoSQL), the transactional protocol, and capabilities such as built-in multi-tenancy, temporality..

Might be useful to note that GV invested in both (Fauna was after Cockroach).

Very much better than even odds.

We report the detection of a high-energy neutrino by IceCube and the multiwavelength/multi-instrument observations of a flaring γ-ray blazar, TXS 0506+056, which was found to be positionally coincident with the neutrino direction (16). Chance coincidence of the IceCube-170922A event with the flare of TXS 0506+056 is statistically disfavored at the level of 3σ in models evaluated below, associating neutrino and γ-ray production.
How does that argument extend to animals that eat other animals? And why is the default defined as not eating meat?
The Chickenshit Club - "Why don't crooked corporate CEO's go to jail anymore? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jesse Eisinger uncovers culture of cowardice, incompetence, and corruption in both government and finance."
Math is different from empirical work. Yes, Shannon's paper is great, but that's not really relevant here because it's in a completely different paradigm.
maybe i'm mistaken, but i think the overall point was not specifically about meat.

just that more and more companies will align themselves with some specific viewpoint and require/impel their employees to do the same as a condition of working there.

i'm probably mistaken though :)
I use the hardware escape key and function keys dozens if not hundreds of times per work day, and like most touch typers the last thing I want to do is look down at my fingers ever to type anything, let alone at some microscopic screen to fidget around with some tiny screen menu system to find a weirdly indented digital escape key, brightness adjustments, audio buttons, or fn keys. It creates complexity where none was needed and where nobody asked for it.

I really have no idea who the Touch Bar was built for, or what it was made for. It's certainly not for pro users.
When I say this, please understand that I'm saying this as a person who would've wandered for 15 minutes as well -- but yeah, you COULD just ask someone who works there where the batteries are.
just wanted to mention that. Indeed a very insightful episode, that explained a lot of comments I've seen lately.
Well, not the whole well. You can avoid "fulfilled by Amazon" products.

But that puts a damper on the whole "Prime" thing, so at that point you might as well just shop somewhere else entirely.
You can't infer anything from the copy speed. The article mentions that it is using the new apple file system apfs. Which includes a clone feature that upon copying a file, a reference to that file is created. The file system then only actually stores changes made to individual copies. So I'm surprised it actually took 2 seconds.
Just to be clear, you're saying you've encountered counterfeits on Adafruit?
Essentially to implement a lock in the user mode, you do:

while !compare_and_swap(&flag,0,1) // check if flag is free (0), lock it (1)
futex_wait(&flag,0) // sleep until flag changes

When futex_wait() returns, it just means the flag has been set back to 0 and the kernel wakes me up so I can check on it again. Another thread can come in and grab the lock in the meantime. That's why I need to loop back to check again. The atomic CAS operation is the one doing the lock.

In the old days, it's just a busy loop running the CAS check continually which is expensive.

while !compare_and_swap(&flag, 0, 1)
// busy loop running

With futex(), the lock-acquiring threads can go to sleep and waking up with the help of the kernel.

Yes, multiple threads can be wakened up, the nr_wake parameter in futex_wake [1] dictates how many threads to wake up. Yes, you can get a "thundering herd" problem. For fairness, see priority usage in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17526849

Does Wal-Mart commingle inventory with 3rd party sellers? That’s the root of the problem in Amazon’s case.
One of the few things maven got right was explicitly including the semver in a module's path. eg ./root/leftpad/1.2.3/bundle.zip (IIRC)
And this ladies and gentlemen is why vegans have a reputation for being annoying.
Thanks for the detailed response and concrete examples!

Reading signatures is one thing (and zip is "easy"), but without examples it doesn't really help in most of the cases. Because even if I know the concept, I don't know when it comes handy. (For example I just looked at Forall ( https://static.javadoc.io/org.scalaz/scalaz_2.12/7.2.24/scal... ... Forall is an endofunctor in an endofunctor category ... ah yes!), and then there are tools that come with labels (DList's doc page: nice for append heavy workloads, eg. logging; yes, great, what's Forall good for? What's Strong? Why Alpha exists? What's =>: ? That's not even documented :( It cannot be searched for https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%3D... ... It's not on the cheatsheet http://eed3si9n.com/scalaz-cheat-sheet .. .I mean it's on it, but it is only used, not defined. etc.)

That's not a type reading thing. That's the bad documentation, and the learner-unfriendly naming convention.
It would, but by doing so they'd be by fiat casting suspicions on the non-"Verified" variants, and perhaps on the whole brand as a result! I think the HN crowd is more united around the counterfeit issue than rest of the population.

The common justification for this is the comparative anatomy argument that we're primates and primates don't eat meat. These same people have had their heads in the sand for the last 30 years, because it's been found that primates do quite commonly eat meat.
There is no pusha in long mode though, you need to push individual regs.
We usually divide the world into moral agents (pretty much just humans) and non-moral-agents.

The default is not eating meat because the default is not eating anything. Humans must take a positive action to eat something.

Generally perfect duties in the Kantian sense take the form of "thou shalt-nots", so a positive action you shouldn't take, like killing a random stranger or some such. This is contrasted with imperfect duties, which are things that are merely virtuous to do - like using your time & resources to help the less-fortunate, for example.
You get the same in the UK over terrestrial tv depending on whether you're watching on the old mpeg2 standard def channel or the newer mpeg4 hi def, the latter is around 8 seconds behind.

Don't get me on satellite latency 20 years ago where people used to make money on betting on horse races where the data feeds in betting shops were about 40 seconds delayed...
I had the same thing at one of my previous gigs. We used to have (allegedly unhealthy) snacks all the time, then they had some kind of bullshit campaign where they would not restock the snacks for one month and donate the cost to the homeless (fair enough), but guess what happened at the end of that campaign - still no snacks.
What’s a good way for me to bet you $1000 that you’re wrong? This statement seems so interesting. What’s the basis for this thought process? Isn’t the trend for meat consumption to increase with wealth so as the world develops, more meat will be consumed. [0]

I used to tell people that MongoDB was the "visual basic of databases." Easy and useful for very simple applications.
Apparently lions, tigers and bears aren't aware of the Kantian perfect/imperfect duty divide.
I'm not sure what the replication crisis (which as others have noted is certainly not exclusive to psychology--they're just the only field that is acknowledging it and taking steps to address it) has to do with bias (by which you seem to mean political bias, not statistical bias which is very different). Your attack on what you perceive to be bias on the part of researchers really seems like a non sequitur with respect to replication.
On what basis? The highly vegetarian countries are countries with a religious population, and Christianity has never been associated with vegetarianism.
It also appears that it doesn't copy the whole file upon changing one of the files. It only stores the changed portion. I assume this is block level. Pretty cool. But yes, SSD speed has very little to do with copy speed in this case.
Thanks for making the effort to explain, I think I have a better handle on what it means now.
Isn't "fulfilled by Amazon" more trustworthy since they are shipping the product to you rather than a 3rd party? Or does Amazon fulfill counterfeits too?
The default really is not eating anything. Just fast, and fast, and fast, and die.
Protocol Buffers is a data serialization format and unsuitable for configuration, as the binary serialized data is not human readable.

In case you were wondering how this news affected the price of these assets (as of this posting):

Hopefully those businesses will cease to exist due to market forces as artificially limiting talent available based on arbitrary preferences of management team would, I expect, reduce productivity and so increase labor costs.

Haha, even as an occasional meat eater I liked this comment. If this sort of comment is annoying, maybe time to inquire into the defensiveness. Maybe you have too much "skin" in the game?
I understand that view too, but insincere arguments have some drawbacks too. I do know some people who became disillusioned after hearing bad motivated reasoning on that, and on dubious health claims.

My current thinking is that both the eco and health questions are extremely complex. The moral issue, however, is simple.
I don't get what you mean, could you please elaborate a bit?
The annoyance is fascinating to me, because I grew up eating meat and also felt such annoyance. It's an interesting thread to pull if you're into knowing thyself - why do I feel especially aggravated on this topic? Might lead you somewhere.
Even in benchmarks, I have generally seen very little performance gain with slightly faster memory.
The disk benchmark shouldn’t copy just write and it had managed to get a bit higher speeds, I have and older version of these drives which isn’t that much slower and I can get simmilar speeds in Windows.

Running Black Magic Disk Mark in my mid 2015 MBP with an NVME SSD with Mojave preview and APFS does produces valid results if this would be just a soft link copy I would get the same speeds even with a slower NVME.
Okay cool so that confirms what I said that mining was not the sole source of the funds
According to Wikipedia, it looks like Visual Studio Code is using this data structure.
>The default is not eating meat because the default is not eating anything.

That's default for rocks and such, but not living things, whose existence requires by default the death of other living things
Being a vegetarian is exactly as equal a choice of freedom as being an omnivore or carnivore. This feels wrong to push this lifestyle on people. Of course one can always just not do business with We Work.
Obviously those animals are unethical. But once Orca evolve enough to really grok Kant they should come around and die off.
You have used ad hominem incorrectly.
Definitely not. The common justification for this is that we, as the most intelligent species on the planet, have developed a moral conscience. As such, it is unconscionable that we support the literal mass murder and ill-treatment of billions of animals each year when there are alternatives that require no suffering and no death.
Huh, never heard of them before. Interesting concept, but the in-browser replacements worry me. Know of any service that does disposable CCs without the in-browser hackery?
Animals don't raise other animals on cruel factory farms.
Yeah, I'll agree with that, among many other issues with YAML. =) A schema would at least solve that problem, but I don't think most simple config users want to define a schema, so strong typing is a better solution.
I'll get downvoted for mentioning any crypto-thing, but I think this might be doable with Augur (which is an actual live product, not some crypto-vaporware, though not particularly easy to use in its 1.0 state)

I went shopping for some cal king bedsheets last week. Bed Bath & Beyond had 1 set - the warmest sheets possible, in the middle of summer. Macys had 0. Target had 0.

Then I went on amazon - the only sheets that were on prime with a good rating were $60 sets of... dubious quality, and half the ratings seemed like they were fake (almost all "recent" reviews were 1 stars). I ended up finding a (much more expensive) specialized sheet co, but am waiting 2 weeks for the delivery (4 day delivery cost $30!!).

It really kind of sucks, because I used to rely on Amazon for this sort of stuff - I WANT to buy stuff on Prime but I might as well be shopping at a street market half the time.
I can't eat a lot of types of food due to allergies. Meat is one of the few things I still can eat without issue. Yes, there are actually people out there (hi, me!) that actually cannot eliminate certain foods from our diets without getting sick. This policy would prevent me from being able to work at that company, for recognized medical health reasons, because I would not be able to do legitimate expenses of food related to travel, nor would I be able to eat probably anything during the "summer camp".

I also have serious concerns about letting companies have moral opinions about paying for choices you make for your own health, for example with health insurance, and considering the current supreme court situation, maybe you should too.
ARM has stmdb / ldmia which appear in practically every function prolog/epilog. It also has "banking" systems to swap to a different set of registers on interrupts, which saves time and stack space.
A better example might be stack overflow that ran on four(?) boxes for a long while (two sql server s, two iis/dot.net application/web servers).
