> functionally identical dwellings that provide their every need. Somewhat like the world described by E. M. Forster in The Machine Stops, except without the dystopian aspect

The idea that we should all live in functionally identical dwellings is in itself dystopian.
Yes perhaps but just like letting toddlers drive your car, trying something that could be good in the future might have terrible consequences now.
My guess is

- to fit within the bounds of the space allocated within the cockpit dashboard

- to fit enough information on the screen so the end result isn't cramped

- to possibly take advantage of an existing CRT assembly that already existed somewhere in the world, so they weren't commissioning a custom design (and the tooling required)

Doesn't this Commons Clause goes specifically against one of the core principles of Free Software? The whole idea is that a Free Software license should not restrict what you can do with said software.

Even the most restrictive FS licenses like GPL will not prevent me from selling consulting services around the product licensed under it.

If you combine this clause with a Free Software license, it sounds to me like it is no longer FS. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I think there are definitely some people like that. I would make the UBI level low enough that you'd have to have roommates if you wanted to sit on your butt. Enough money to keep you from living in a tent or under a bridge, and fed, but austere enough that you ought to feel motivated to earn something.

That is what I did initially. My API was sending garbage data Saying this website is shutting down, please visit [mysite] for more info :D.

Sure, sure. But you're missing the point. When there's a major wildfire, and people's lives and property are at risk, it was incredibly stupid of Verizon to hamper public safety efforts. Maybe they were legally within their rights. And maybe the fire department screwed up. But if nothing else, it's horrible PR. And if people died because of it, I would expect criminal charges to be filed.

Edit: Verizon should have immediately restored full service, given the fire emergency. And waited to settle account status. What's the point of putting lives and property damage at risk over $50 or whatever?

Edit: And that does seem to be Verizon policy. It's apparently just that they screwed up here. From another article:

> Regardless of the plan emergency responders choose, we have a practice to remove data speed restrictions when contacted in emergency situations. We have done that many times, including for emergency personnel responding to these tragic fires. In this situation, we should have lifted the speed restriction when our customer reached out to us. This was a customer support mistake. We are reviewing the situation and will fix any issues going forward.

> Many would argue that Copenhagen is not local

Who? I believe the point of view that the Copenhagen interpretation is local is the standard one.[1]

> but its very hard to even define locality

How so? There are various definitions of locality—in terms of no faster-than-light transmission of information, in terms of commutators of field operators at spacelike distances vanishing as well as in terms of C* algebras—and the Copenhagen interpretation fulfills them all.

> if you are genuinely non-realist about everything

I'm being non-realist only about things whose existence we can't prove, e.g. the wave function.

> Regardless, if it was possible to be "local + non-deterministic" many of us would be fine with that. But its not - Bell rules out "locality + realism"

I don't see how this disproves anything of what I said. While I think you're right[2] about the fact that the violation of Bell's inequality rules out local realism—irrespective of determinism—, I already said that, in my book, Copenhagen is not a realistic theory because the wave function is not an object of reality.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality#Copenhag...

[2]: "However, Fine's theorem shows that, this deterministic assignment of properties is not required to prove Bell's theorem. This is because the set of statistical distributions for measurements on two parties, once locality has been assumed, are independent of whether or not determinism is also assumed." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality#Local_re...)
The first few books I read were from lists I found online aggregating suggestions on HN and Reddit. After that I'd just make a note of any books referenced in ones I read that I liked and branched out. After a bit you have no end to books you want to follow up on.

Chainpoint Node 1.5.3 Release Notes
You are correct, the origin of that principal is in Lamport's paper (which is one of my favorites by the way).

Where I was coming from was that there aren't, as far as I know, a codified set of rules for creating a stable institution. I was thinking that someone would say "there is no such thing" and ignore the advice so in my footnote I pointed out the the basic idea was in fact quite sound. I probably should have referenced the paper as well but assumed most people would already know about it.
Anyone else getting a little tired of the immediate reduction of any conversation around early-stage startup job opportunities to "comp vs FAANG"? As someone who spent the last 5 years in early stage startups, before recently accepting a FAANG offer, I'm starting to realize folks who only think about comp probably aren't good fits for startups. Here are a few quick reasons to take less comp at a super early stage startup:

- You will develop a wide breadth of skills you simply can't develop at FAANG, as you will be involved in product meetings, business strategy conversations, and will regularly eat lunch with the CEO. I imagine the reverse of this is true as well, in that there are skills developed at FAANG that are hard to develop as employee <50.

- You will get to fast-track your career progression, in that you will be in line for promotions much earlier than in large companies, as opportunities emerge.

- Companies (including FAANG) will look for folks with your skillset (my startup experience was a huge plus in my recent job search).

- You will work on hard problems, with passionate people; folks aren't punching the clock here. This is fun.

Also, for folks just thinking about comp, I'd like to gently point out that a 40 hour week on work you feel "meh" about is ~35% of your waking life. That's not to say you can't find exciting work at FAANG (I hope I have), but rather that there is more to a job than comp or career progression, and working with passionate folks on hard problems can be incredibly fulfilling.

"Very confusing."

I agree that you are confused.

"But then go on to suggest that OECD countries are attempting to limit production unfairly?"

I never suggested that there was anything unfair about this. But that the advanced nations warehouse large amounts of food, and then dispose of it when it has gone bad, is well known and has been much discussed elsewhere.

"Food is perishable."

Annual production exceeds annual demand. Even when this year's food goes bad, next year there will be more, and it will be in excess of demand.

This is a big topic and I can not provide you with a full education on this topic. I'll recommend one book that I like, which is Diet For A Small Planet, by Frances Moore Lappe:

Speaking only about U233, produced in the thorium fuel cycle: it's been used in composite fission cores in several tests by USA and (then-) USSR. There may have been one small test of an unmixed U233 device by India. [1]

So maybe U233 could be used to make a weapon. I don't know whether that possibility makes it a big proliferation risk or not.

unfortunately anytime you mention something like this as a reasonable expectation for sane adults within the context of a us-focused discussion, one is almost immediately inundated with any one of:

- business must make a profit

arguments as to why this is not the case, and debate tends to die.

I've had "low value" things stolen from me like tarps, tents and food (and yes, I realize I'm dumb for not learning to lock these things up the first time they were stolen). While it may have been vandals, I have a strong feeling it was people steeling to survive.
Founders do not treat their company as "just a paycheck". They're not just turning up to punch the clock. Early on, the company is their life -- their efforts determine its success, and their company's success is their own success. The same goes, to a lesser extent, for early employees.

Maybe that's not widely agreed, though. I saw an ad on the "Who's Hiring?" post this month looking for a first engineer with a broad and deep skill set and big responsibilities offering 0.2% equity... Essentially no motivation to move heaven and earth to make the company succeed. Shrugs.
I mean... just because someone can call a video an MVP doesn’t mean it was an MVP.

An MVP is a functioning product/service. It’s something that provides enough utility / functionality that the user can actually use. Unless dropbox was a media company demoing a new film, the video was not an MVP. It was a marketing campaign.
The wasps that do that don't "just sting people and that’s it" so what's the problem?

For a few seconds I started thinking about packaging LEDs with onboard LDRs so any failure that results in not-100%-light-output produces an open circuit... but I can see the result having too many moving parts to comfortably pass certification. If such a thing is even possible to make.

Your mention that LEDs can fail closed rules out a current-consumption monitoring system...

And then a "light up all the indicator lights" button (which IIRC does exist?) connected to a camera and machine vision system would _work_, but it'd probably be a ton more expensive (to build _properly_) than just sticking with incandescent bulbs.
Australia's export of uranium to India.

India has made an explicit decision not to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT). As a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, Australia is supposed to export only to countries that have signed the NPT. An exemption has been granted to India. This means India is receiving uranium from Australia, but its facilities are not subject to the full range of inspections required under the NPT. It's reasonable to assume that India will go as far as it can in its role as a non-signatory to the NPT.

Essentially India said "trust us", and Australia said "show us the money."

The difference between Free's website and Verizon's is huge. On Free's website the details are front and center, bold, prominent. 100GB is right there. The plan details also give you a lot more for a lot less money, but that's a whole other can of bits.
The ISP paid for the network. They have the right to do what they want with it. That's internet freedom. The government has no business telling me how to run my personal network. It has no business telling ISPs how to run theirs. On top of it all, FAANG are direct competitors eroding those ISPs' cable tv business in most cases. So it's not just a matter of the government telling the ISPs how to run their network, it's the government picking a winner.

Tell me, if FAANG has a problem with internet freedom, why don't they just build their own ISPs? Answer, that's expensive. That's why Google quit building fiber after a half dozen cities. So instead, they want "net neutrality" which is where ISPs pay for the networks, FAANG takes all the money, and ISP customers get stuck with rising prices. No thanks.

That's not what "unlimited" means. By your logic the word "unlimited" would still be outright illegal no matter what the bandwidth was. And by your logic the police officer giving you a speeding ticket is garnishing your wages. That's not how normal people think, us pedantic computer scientists notwithstanding.
Why is this "not a simple A/B test"? It seems to be functionally the same (maybe A/B/C/etc. and not A/B), just with no actual product.

Is it the nonexistence of a real product which bothers you? Is it the comparison testing?

More generally, what do you feel constitutes an experiment that requires informed test subjects? I agree with you that there are shades of gray, but I feel the distinction likely lies somewhere between "red vs green button on landing page" and "new cancer drug," while you seem to be arguing that the former should still require informed consent. (Which could be a reasonable argument! But I'm trying to get a better gauge on what it is that you're saying.)

> I understand some of the systemd criticism, but I don't at all understand why you want something else to manage your processes than the process management system (which is basically always the init system)?

Perhaps you don't understand one of the fundamental, philosophical criticisms, which is that it violates the Unix tenet of "do one thing and one thing well".

Timing, and scheduling are difficult and (arguably, of course), deserve their own, separate utility.

Cron isn't a process manager, any more than and interactive shell [1]. It just starts processes (and passes output to a local email client, though that's, understandably, brittle).

I wouldn't object to moving the process-starting functionality out of cron and leaving it with only the ability to tell init to "start job named XYZ", but I do object to just integrating its core competency of scheduling into that init.

[1] Arguably less than, considering modern shells' job control and signal facilities

Grounding doesn't make the electricity magically disappear - for large voltages and currents, it's difficult to dissipate.

For example, if you'd simply stick a high voltage line into the ground, then there would be a voltage gradient between the ground voltage far away and (almost) the line voltage directly at the place where you stuck it; and since the earth isn't a very good conductor (compared to e.g. yourself), if you walk towards it, then the "step voltage" between your leg closest to the wire and the other leg can be sufficient to kill you.
