"It started really bad, but [...] some good came out of it in the end."

That's a defence, without question. It does include an acknowledgement of the harms of what happened, but by pointedly ending with a hand-wavey invocation of some supposed benefits, it is characterising those harms as a sort of necessary evil.
Sweden, all of it, walked out in July and we’re doing fine. I doubt any PhD students avoid our institutions because of it, and we somehow manage to get the papers we need anyway. Asking on twitter is effective, or directly from authors. And there’s always scihub...
"Deadweight loss" is a term in economics that refers specifically to loss of producer and consumer surplus due to distortions in the prices or quantities that are supplied or demanded. This is different from the colloquial definition of "dead weight" - the latter would imply that licensing produces no benefit, while the former does not.

That would be "Chromium and SQLite", which is a combination that makes sense. "Or" doesn't make sense.

> Calculating only the cost is useful information.

> It points out that there is a very large cost which is an opportunity for optimization.

Two things, one: why does everything need to be perfectly optimized? And two: You're assuming that intangible benefits aren't useful. Is money all that matters?

> Andrew Wimer works to make the case for economic liberty, free speech, private property rights and school choice in the court of public opinion.

This is also a politically charged study and this guy has an axe to grind. Sure, tear down everything that protects people from quacks and charlatans - that's the American Dream, after all.

> If you make an extra $5000 but have to spend $5500 in time/money related to keeping your license, you're not making $5000 more, you're losing $500.

I don't see why there's this concern about $500 of inefficiency, this isn't an optimization problem. The benefits to licensing are intangible.
No coverage reporting library will attempt to tell you that kind of coverage. You are essentially in violent agreement with the op but turning it into an argument by using different words for the same concept.

I didn't say every number is a different branch. But on many processors, divide by zero triggers an interrupt. That's semantically the same as a branch.
Thank you.

This is a PERFECT example of one of the things I try to teach students about statistics and science communication.

The Forbes articles wildly WILDLY overstates the relatively modest conclusions of the paper. Academic papers take small, almost microscopic steps for a reason - each step in a chain of logic needs to be heavily and clearly supported by evidence.

Often they say things like X is correlated with Y and then someone else (intentionally for clicks or from a lack of understanding) implies causality and turns conditional observation into absolutist pronouncements.

Academic studies are almost always exercises in nuance...if a news article is not the same don't trust it.
I figured it was one of the microstates

Arguably, the British brought a lot of things with them to India as well, infrastructure, medicine, industry, language. All these things benefit Indians living today, and many millions of Indians living today wouldn't be alive if the course of history hadn't been changed.

How do you put a value on that?

Also, many Indians were killed resisting the colonial invasion, and their descendants are not living today as a result, but would have if the course of history hadn't changed.

How do you put a value on that?

You can twist yourself silly arguing these things back and forth, because there are no physical limits. There are no principles to fall back on, there's only human imagination, you're free to dream up whatever pricetag you want on them.

And that is why colonial reparations are ridiculous.

Did you watch the hearing? If not, I strongly recommend it. I don’t know anyone who watched it all the way through who thought that Kavanaugh was being candid or sincere in response to Senators’ polite questioning.

A nomination hearing is not a trial; you should not be trying to parse his statements as if it were. The standard for a Supreme Court Justice should not be “well if we give him the benefit of the doubt he was grossly misleading, uncooperative, and aggressively disrespectful but a jury might not convict him of perjury”.

P.S. What do you think “boof” and “devil’s triangle” mean?

Could you elaborate more on your specific ES problems? Having worked with Elasticsearch extensively for many years, and do not share this sentiment.

Many of the ES queries fundamentally aren't meant to have a 1-to-1 equivalent in SQL as ES's goal is to specialize as a distributed search index, and not a general relative database.

If your point is that ES is being more frequently used as an alternative to just writing/scaling/using a SQL service to it's full potential, then I can somewhat understand the sentiment.
SCMP is about as China critical as one gets in the worldwide press. Sure, it’s not as critical as the newspaper owned by Falan Gong (Epoch Times), but it is comparable to any western one.

Even after the Alibaba article, a significant share of China critical articles that make it to HN’s front page still seem to be form SCMP.

A non-trivial bit of the problem is the highly fashionable attitude of refusing to do work that helps the Department of Defense. The fact that skilled labor is a limited resource for both nations, which means refusing to help is at least similar to aiding foreign powers, which are statistically dictatorships of one kind or another, seems to not factor into the set of moral ethoses that such folks espouse.

Remember, it's not just China. It's North Korea, Russia, Iran, Isreal; any country facing significant military threats is interested in US weapons technology.

You live in a constitutional democracy on a planet where the mean, median, and mode country is a dictatorship? And don't want to defend that government? Really?

Yes, nearly every single media outlet spoke negatively about the tax cut while spending very little time speaking positively about it.

Take this example, one of many:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/30/the-r...

Entitled “The richest Americans get a $33,000 tax break under the GOP tax law. The poorest get $40.” What it fails to mention is the fact that the richest Americans are already paying the brunt of taxes, while the poorest are already barely paying any - as it should be. However, the headline paints a very biased picture.

See also the Wiki article on the Tax Act, which speaks to the media “assailing” the Tax Act, and provides examples. See this article

http://www.crfb.org/press-releases/house-passes-historic-deb...

Entitled “House Passes Historic Debt Increase”, while it may technically be correct, it’s also misleading and very biased. No mention of the near-$500-$1k a year tax break the average middle class American receives under the Act? Or the increased employment numbers?

Regarding complaints of adding to the deficit, note that aside from Fox, most media outlets - that had previously reamed W for his, rightfully so - payed little attention to the fact that Obama increased the deficit almost twice what Obama did.

It’s the picking and choosing that bothers me. Border walls and stricter immigration policy was endorsed by Dems until somewhat recently... until Trump endorsed them, now they’re the worst ideas ever. Budget deficits are fine when they’re the result of policies the Dems like... but now they’re horrendous.

I agree that the Tax Cut should have included bigger breaks for the lower income brackets, but they absolutely are still getting a break, and unemployment numbers are at record highs.

Nonsense.

@snowden could have chosen to not told our adversaries about any spying activity upon them. Instead, he stole classified info that was far beyond the scope of domestic surveillance, in a pre-meditated way, then shared this with our adversaries.

"domestic enemies in Maryland" is entirely your opinion. Are you an American citizen? What exactly is your justification (beyond Hollywood propaganda, news articles, etc) for such a claim? Have you reviewed in detail what @snowden (and his co-conspirators) have leaked? How much was actually related to domestic surveillance? How much was classified military intel?
My impression is it's rather low-level verification and modelling language comparing to the platforms like Kami (https://deepspec.org/entry/Project/Kami)
2. Open Source is relatively safe when you are able to self-host it. It is good to setup an environment and test the features on your own machines and also check how easy is to extract the data.

1-3 is a roulette. Unless they have a technology that you cannot substitute with an open source solution then it is difficult to justify using it. There must be a solid extraction plan available so that you can move your data to an alternative solution in reasonable time.
Sometimes it is better to hire a team and expand existing open source solution with necessary features. Sometimes this could lead to a side product and another stream of revenue.

I came to the same conclusion (and I'm not a big company that can afford Qt), so I built my own. Before Flutter got a new team @ Google ~3 years back, it was a set of tools for building cross-platform apps with C++ shared libs. A few years ago, this is what many of the FAANG companies were doing with their apps. Then, React Native was released and (I guess) the management at Google decided to take a different tack.

I did some research and found that Dropbox open sourced their internal tool for building cross-platform mobile apps in C++. Djinni (https://github.com/dropbox/djinni) uses an interface definition language to generate bindings between C++ & ObjC & Java (via JNI). From this, I added some tooling to help get the build setup and define some basic UI elements while trying to keep it simple. If you happen to give it a try, I'd love to hear your thoughts: https://github.com/adamtait/ctheworld

My point remains. Disrupted enough to cause the social order to collapse is a lot less disrupted than disrupted enough to cause the environment to be lethal to be in.

As an example of the difference, consider "widespread crop failures followed by food riots causing a general breakdown of transportation networks". The social order is destroyed. But the air is still breathable. And where you live the local crops might even have been fine until pillaged by hungry people.

On a side note, the 3rd amendment has only come up in one legal case, and it was decided in that one that the violation of the 3rd amendment happened, but the government had a qualified immunity because a reasonable person would not have known of the rule. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engblom_v._Carey for the bizarre case.

> They didn't mention deliberately shipping products with asbestos, but rather than even with their testing, they could not find/remove the trace amounts.

Sure, But TFA did go into their efforts to downplay third-party evidence, and slander critics. And it mentioned questions about the sensitivity of J&J's asbestos testing.

And about removing it, TFA argues that they currently use Chinese talc, which contains much less asbestos. So they could have sought other sources decades ago, instead of stonewalling.

Or maybe better yet, they could have stopped using talc.
1. The actions in the article don't seem possible. Google search is forcibly https, using HSTS. In Chrome and Clank (android), maybe others, google is additionally cert-pinned. It is not possible, through DNS or any other trick, to get forcibly navigated away from the google search page or to have content injected. He says he "turned to a google search on his phone" but he must have done something else before actually searching google, to get the injected notice. I feel this is an important point.

2. This doesn't meet the requirements of the law. The person using the internet, especially at some arbitrary moment, is not likely the subscriber. The law is that the consumer must be notified, with consumer explicitly defined as the subscriber. Email to the address on record, or an insert in a mailed invoice, or a special mailing, seem the only reasonable ways to meet the requirements of the law.

I also introduced him to a friend and he helped her hack a website and also removed some bad records she had online permanently. He offers a very long list of hacking services I really cant mention them all.
>>Two things, one: why does everything need to be perfectly optimized?

Any sub-optimization is wages, quality-of-life, scientific funding, etc that is being foregone.

>>Sure, tear down everything that protects people from quacks and charlatans - that's the American Dream, after all.

Reputation markets are extremely effective at protecting people from quacks. In any case, to some extent, people have to take responsibility for their own consumer choices. They shouldn't have market choices taken away from them for their own good, by a paternalistic government/voting-base. That's not how a healthy/free society is governed.

The reason why paternalistic centralization isn't functional is that those very same quacks can exploit the public through licensing. They can make false appeals to safety and claims of benefits to argue for highly restrictive licensing rules that cost society far more than they provide in the way of safety, just so that they can enjoy wages inflated from suppressing competition.

Then fighting quacks becomes a political process requiring an election win, and that is all-or-nothing (either you get the quack's representative voted out, or you don't), and doesn't allow the incremental, parallel improvement possible through a decentralized market consisting of millions of consumers making independent consumer choices not subordinate to a single regulatory agency wielding monopoly power.

We've needed someone to push back against China for some time now.

I just wish it had been in consultation with our allies instead of flipping the middle finger to all of them at the same time.
We aren't at war with China, they are not our adversaries. Any harm caused to the US was a result of harm we had done to them.
Well, the consequences of this aren't really known yet, so let's be slightly more careful with the cynicism...

I'll also add that you would usually want this to be a civil matter. First, because the standard of proof is far lower ("preponderance of evidence" vs "beyond reasonable doubt", i. e. 50% vs, say, 95%), making actual consequences far more likely.

Secondly, you are more likely to get whistleblowers if you focus on punishing organisations and not individuals.

Thirdly, these really are, almost always, actions by organisations undertaken in a sort of collective delusion, where everyone believes their actions are ok because they see so many others participating in it. None of these people would ever murder someone outright. That they happily do so as a group, thousand times over, needs to inform our reaction: it is a systemic failure, a group dynamic gone awry. Treating it as anything else only diminishes our chances to prevent future cases.
