> it's not exactly the cause... American corporations exist only because shareholders/VC firms invested capital in them.

There's a pretty big difference. Shareholders/VC firms investing capital in them allows the company to expand faster or better allocate resources. They're helpful and make the system what it is, but they're pretty interchangeable from an abstract perspective, and corporations would still exist without them in some way shape or form - maybe different structures of ownership and liability, but they'd be there. Corporations could not, meanwhile, structurally exist as a thing or concept without the government's consent.

(side note: I acknowledge there is no world where the US decides corporations stop existing, and that in all practicality, such an event would probably not result in the actual dissolution of every single US based corporation, but I'm talking theoretically here to make a point - the Government's participation in a corporation's existence is fundamentally different from shareholder's)

> My initial reaction is I don't want to work under populist execs vying for employee votes; I think we get enough political speak from them as it is.

How is political pandering to shareholders (stock growth! dividends! profit!) fundamentally different from political pandering to workers (narrower wage gaps! livable working conditions! sick and vacation days!)? Additionally, working at one of the companies that (at least in word) tries to listen to and pander to its employees, it can be a positive, symbiotic relationship.

I think you're giving workers too little credit - most people understand fundamental economic realities, and that they're not going to get gold plated toilets, beer drinking fountains, and 7 figure entry level salaries (I'd use 6 figure entry level salaries.... but, well, that's already a thing in Silicon Valley, which in addition to the ridiculously nice working conditions many here benefit from, does quite a bit to throw the whole tone of many of these posts in pretty sharp relief =P). Mostly workers would probably just press corporations to redistribute a historically representative portion of profits to workers, improve working conditions in ways that make sense, and focus on the longer term. After all - workers will be there, ideally, 5-30ish years, while many shareholders are looking to pump the stock price as high as they can in the short term so they can jump ship before the decisions that lead to that point come home to roost.
> Why do they command that compensation?

Because their compensation is set by the board. What role do board members play in other corporations? CEO or directors.

Yay thanks for the detailed input!

If there is demand or initiative for a portable schema solution I'll gladly support it! The native architecture in the eno libraries is programmatic because that does have its own powerful merits which are employed to the fullest in the API design, like always there's not one best choice, and the 'validation creeping into code' can be turned around into 'external schema definition creeping out of line with code' just as well. ;) Do you have some concrete usecase in mind or planned where we could explore how a portable schema solution could look like for eno? Drafting things from various real life use cases has worked great for eno so far, so that's the route I would love to go here too if we follow that track!

Custom parser implementation is easier to answer: By now I've iterated through dozens of custom parser designs for eno in multiple languages, and I'm pretty much confident that generated parsers will not stand a chance of being faster, they after all do the same thing as I do, only I can't really hand-optimize what they produce afterwards. :) You can study the benchmarks I linked to under [3], there are some generated TOML parsers included with rather disappointing performance to put it mildly, and as it stands there's not much that's faster than the eno parsers in YAML/TOML land anyway, so I have low incentive to experiment in that domain currently. :) Long term goal is to (optionally) integrate (generated or custom) C (respectively Rust) parser cores through native bindings as well, so that will bring up this question again then for sure.
There's a very interesting New Yorker article on this topic, specifically when it comes to organ transplantation: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/02/05/what-does-it-m...
> Not sure where you're getting that info. I just looked up NFPA 130 and it specifically calls for multiple types of insulation (for cables as well as concrete and steel) as well as automated water sprinkler systems, and even standpipes for firefighters.

You're moving the goalpost and earlier insinuated that tunnels for subways require lining and other fire suppression systems. They do not. The automated sprinklers are needed for stations, but not the tunnel itself. Same for standpipes.

The insulation for cables are a given, because you will need it for ALL tunnels. Not just HV cables, but ALL cables, including fibre and low-voltage cables.

Thus, no difference.

> Tesla doesn't use LIDAR but they do use ultrasonic sensors. Tesla's existing autopilot systems works just fine on completely dark, unlit roads. I don't see why these skates would be any different.

Does Tesla's existing autopilot system using LIDAR/ultrasonic cameras have automated collision protection that does so without having to communicate with the other cars behind it traveling at 120mph to 150mph? No. You will need to modify the system to do this, and you will need to add the mesh network to the tunnels, among other things I described.

> Even with fibre and low voltage power for access points (if even needed), you're still leagues away from the cost and complexity of a full tracked third-rail system.

Agreed. Tracks and third rail are not cheap, comparative to not using them at all.

> I'm not sure what you mean. Flexibility is cheaper. Being able to use a tunnel that is 500 feet long at a 10% grade is cheaper than having to build a tunnel that is 1500 feet long at 3% grade.

How? If the total length of the overall tunnel is the same, the cost of materials are not substantially different.
>On the contrary, you've spent almost every post in this sub-thread questioning whether it is true

Yes, because it's difficult for a statement to be both profound and obviously false.

I just said that it's obviously false, so I don't understand why it is labeled "profound" in the paper. That's it.
This whataboutism is not helpful.

Unless you think the boy was deliberately targeted to be killed, surely you can understand that being killed in a drone strike targeting another is very different to being deliberately shot to death.

Time-blocking could be a help. You block a few hours where no one should interrupt you, shut down your phone and close your e-mail client and just focus on work. In the beginning, it´s a bit wired because you don´t need to do anything else while working but you get used to it and become more concentrated.

Since Google has compiled with EU censorship why is this a big deal anymore? Or are we admitting to having double standards when it comes to China?
> Just stop requiring growth at all costs, chalk up the China (and military) market as a loss, and continue operating at your massively profitable status quo.

This is what Google did initially; instead of censoring themselves like the Chinese government demanded, they opted to leave the Chinese market entirely.

But that's almost ten years ago now; meanwhile, the Chinese economy / GDP has doubled, its connected population has more than doubled, and Chinese internet companies have entrenched themselves. China will - if it isn't already - be the biggest potential market for internet companies.

I hate it soo much. Pervasive spying doesnt help either. YT for example loves to generate custom redirects for all offsite links posted in video description/comments :(.

You can fix videos by injecting

// make visited links distinct
injectStyle('.yt-lockup-title a:visited {color: black;}');
injectStyle('#watch7-sidebar .video-list-item a .title {color: #167ac6;}');
injectStyle('#watch7-sidebar .video-list-item a:visited .title {color: #141761;}');
injectStyle('a.yt-uix-sessionlink {color: #167ac6 !important;}');
injectStyle('a.yt-uix-sessionlink:visited {color: #141761 !important;}');

but things like external links and playlists require looping over document.getElementsByClassName("yt-uix-sessionlink"), monitoring DOMNodeInserted, and injecting history.pushState(null, null, 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v='+videoID) for all the garbage filled YT links (what you get when clicking on playlist video). I pack all of it into my custom tempermonkey script.
It's not true at all. The central arrondissements are (for some part) well preserved, but once you go a little further you'll see that most buildings have been destroyed and replaced since the 50s. There are few highrise, but Paris is already very dense and it wouldn't really be able to support these buildings.

Since a few years there's a construction boom in and around the city. With the new subway lines to come (greater Paris), new neighborhoods are built everywhere.

Your vision of Paris is at least 50 years old...
If you are mid-30s with 100+ semester credits done in your Bachelor's Degree, but can't go back to finish it because many of the credits have expired, the idea that you'd have to re-finish the degree just to sit for a Master's Degree when you turn 40 is ridiculous.

Plenty of people have been admitted to MS programs without a BS/BA when they prove why they're the exception. Serious private sector work fills in the gaps easily. MBA programs are no different.

partner juggling is a thing! I picked up juggling a bit ago, as my romantic partner is an avid practitioner. spent a half hour after work working on a 3-club Cascade.

One of the beautiful bits is, if you're working on something new, there's only so long you can spend attempting to "get it" before your brain fuzzes out and it becomes futile, and hence forces a break. A physically and mentally time-bound activity, unlike a lot of things one might choose to distract oneself with (social media, reading the news, etc)

That would be sad, as there is already far too much software out there that hard-codes escape sequences, completely ignoring the TERM environment variable.

Even worse, sometimes they won't even disable escape codes when they should not be displayed.

I've posted bug reports for very popular software packages whose commandline always output vt102, even when TERM is set to dumb or when run through pipes. That makes grepping for error messages somewhat annoying. In at least some cases these reports were ignored.
If you study the grammar on a lot of these posts, all over the internet even, you may come to the conclusion that the posters are government plants or Chinese CCP zealots.

I wouldn't rule out a massive propoganda campaign; HN, mainstream news article comments, suspicious Quora "questions" about China with manipulative "answers", Confucius Institutes!..
A little duplication is better than the wrong abstraction, and I've seen far more subtly wrong or obfuscating abstractions than duplication in code I have to manage. Go is definitely not perfect, and sometimes it's plain wrong about this (I don't particularly like the go error handling and hope it improves), but there is a reason for discouraging certain types of abstraction and encouraging verbosity and boring code instead, and it's not to save the compiler time.

Since the article talk exclusively about opioid use disorders, this not about using opiates for aches. It is a common replicated experiment that patient that use opiates exclusively for aches don't develop habits, and more control and choice by the patient usually result in lower doses.

However I have heard constantly during the last decade that stress and depression is on the rise and also spreading to younger age groups. I thus find it very questionable to view the problem from the drug supply perspective. Is it not a more logical conclusion that more people are self medicating and the problem is the social environment (stress, depression, looniness, and so on) and possible faults in the medical system in not helping those people as effective it could?

Quote from Linus, 2003

>><rant>

>>Why do the file systems have to be so tightly integrated in the "ring0" core? This is one subsystem that screams for standard callouts and "ring1" level.

>></rant off>

> Because only naive people think you can do it efficiently any other way.

> Face it, microkernels and message passing on that level died a long time ago, and that's a GOOD THING.

> Most of the serious processing happens outside the filesystem (ie the VFS layer keeps track of name caches, stat caches, content caches etc), and all of those data structures are totally filesystem-independent (in a well-designed system) and are used heavily by things like memory management. Think mmap - the content caches are exposed to user space etc. But that's not the only thing - the name cache is used extensively to allow people to see where their data comes from (think "pwd", but on steroids), and none of this is anything that the low-level filesystem should ever care about.

> At the same time, all those (ring0 - core) filesystem data structures HAVE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE to the low-level filesystem for any kind of efficient processing. If you think we're going to copy file contents around, you're just crazy. In other words, the filesystem has to be able to directly access the name cache, and the content caches. Which in turn means that it has to be ring0 (core) too.

> If you don't care about performance, you can add call-outs and copy-in and copy-out etc crap. I'm telling you that you would be crazy to do it, but judging from some of the people in academic OS research, you wouldn't be alone in your own delusional world of crap.

It sounds like your learning process is inefficient and you might want to look at "learning to learn". Or even going back to the instruments for a while and practicing.

But then I've always relied on the opposite: just-in-time learning, which was possible in the pre-internet era but is now much, much easier.

You need to accept that the world is too big to fit in your head - even limiting yourself to the field of programming, there's a huge amount of material out there. You need to specialise.

You've also not said what all this is for - is it an end in itself, or is it in service of getting a better job? For the money? To prove something to yourself, or to others? Do you actually need to climb your own personal Everest?
