Perhaps, but those would be self-selected, not imposed by the provider. Big difference.

It's surprising that it was strictly memory to memory. Register-starved architectures like the 6502 could be performant, but only in hand-coded assembly. Intel had to have known this and yet designed an architecture with no registers that was almost entirely at the compiler's mercy for throughput. Other blinkered things like having only immediates for one and zero pale by comparison.

When you can't get the basics right, it's inevitable that the OO aspects of the 432 would have failed.

This is only for 32-bit systems. 64-bit systems have always used a 64-bit timestamp.

The difficulty is that the ABI defines a 32-bit timestamp on 32-bit kernels so that can't easily be changed without breaking backwards compatibility. That's what this post is about.

So for desktops and servers this has been solved for years already. I don't know how prevalent 32-bit is in embedded versus 64-bit.

His main point is that "To properly define causal problems, let alone solve them, requires a vocabulary that resides outside the language of probability theory. This means that all the smart and brilliant statisticians who used joint density functions, correlation analysis, contingency tables, ANOVA, Entropy, Risk Ratios, etc., etc., and did not enrich them with either diagrams or counterfactual symbols have been laboring in vain — orthogonally to the question — you can’t answer a question if you have no words to ask it." http://causality.cs.ucla.edu/blog/index.php/2018/06/11/stati...
It could be the pilot-versus-engineer difference. Maybe mere size: the 767 was built in the Big factory in Everett, while the 757 was down in the little factory in Renton. Knowing engineers, it could well have been some minor technical detail that no pilot or passenger would ever see.

Of course, the 767 performs pretty well even when underpowered! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Canada_Flight_143

The legal argument of course is that Bird has intentionally abandoned their scooters in the public way, and this is the general consensus of my many friends in the local DA offices.

I believe these issues could be solved by actually taxing corporations and providing the service they clearly so desperately need.

An /actual/ (inter)national ID and Identity verification service. One where disputes about identity and authorization can be escalated somewhere that makes sense, to the jurisdictions issuing these IDs.

Ideally someone should be able to go to a police station (locally for local IDs, if on vacation/out of hometown in liaison between departments) and have their identity verified in a trusted way, and that verification reported as pass/fail to a third party whom is asking.

This would also be the way of officially disputing fraudulent uses of identity; they would be reported via the same actions, but as a customer initiation (and statement of legal testimony taken in a case that would then be opened and reported to the involved parties).

BTW, such a system SHOULD also include address resolution, for physical mail, voice, and electronic services (any sub-name actually).

I would LOVE to only update my address in ONE place when I move, instead of trying to remember everyone I've ever given it to.
> But joblessness hit an eight-year high in August of 4.2 percent after the new minimum wage took effect, though it has since improved. Growth was at 2 percent in the third quarter compared with the same period a year earlier, down from 2.8 percent in the second quarter.

A 4.2 percent unemployment rate is remarkably low, and 2% growth in a quarter, isn't bad either.

Increasing taxes and raising the minimum wage is certainly not going to lead to increased economic growth or lower unemployment. The primary benefit of such moves, is to improve the quality of life for the middle-class and lower-middle-class. Neither of which was mentioned in the article, which is surprising considering that's the primary motivation and metric against which it should be measured.

Useful answer, thanks!
That's not how it works, at all. Taking someone to small claims court (which is what this would fall under) is trivial compared to what you're saying. Many county court systems even provide checklists to get through it. Last time I took someone to small claims court it cost about $200 in fees.
That was a time where America was rapidly urbanizing, where the populations of NYC, Chicago were increasing by like 30% a decade. The cities of the south really came into their own at this point, think Atlana. LA tripled in population from 1900 to 1910, and nearly doubled again from 1910 to 1920.

We had absolutely massive demographic shifts over the initial decades of the 20th century, and you're seriously going to pick income tax as the culprit of crime rising? Compared to 1900, 1920s America had a much different identity.
With only two commits, which are several months old, this project doesn't look very healthy.
Can you describe your desired outcome? Do you want almost everyone to be relatively “equal” like in the late USSR or current North Korea? If not then I guess “inequality” is not the thing you need to look at.
I'd bite and switch if there was someone else in America who wasn't truthfully awful in some way. I cannot morally support the likes of Verizon and AT&T. T-Mobile are the good guys, but spotty reception is a more common occurrence than bad support; I haven't had to call support once in two years, but my phone has switched networks multiple times.
Sounds a lot like Itanium and the original Xeon Phi architectures (Knights Corner and Knights Ferry). They were both very dependent on the compilers being smart enough to keep everything occupied constantly.
There's something Dieselpunk about fusion reactors. One could make the case it's a replay of vacuum tubes (read fusion) vs. transistors (read photovoltaic cells). The former are hot and bulky and relatively dangerous; the latter are made churned out by the billions at ever decreasing costs.
That's funny.

Representative democracy, with it's paltry accountability except every 4 years, gerrymandering-schemes (not a US-only problem), typically revoked election promises, backroom talks, corruption, and private interests paying politicians is already undemocratic enough as it stands.

And suddenly removing the voters even further (as in the EU Commission), or adding "bodies" with no officially defined role and protocol, and closed discussions, like the Eurogroup, is "democratic" because those involved were "democratically elected finance ministers" under unrelated to the EU national elections.
> If Bird leaves a scooter in the road, for someone else to use, they have relinquished the right to control the device, and it is thus abandoned

No, if they are charging use fees, offering money for people to choose charge them, etc., they have not relinquished all rights to control.

> the alternative is that they are deliberately littering or committing various other property infractions or misdemeanors.

That's a big false dichotomy.

They need to require better identity-proofing methods. To open a bank account at many banks you need to physically show up at one of the bank locations and present physical original copies of identification documents.

Allowing people to submit documents online is not good enough. After the identity has been proven, then from that point on you can offer online services, but the initial account creation needs to be done offline.
A somewhat similar situation happened to me in that my Google payments account was frozen, supposely due to fraud. This caused me to be unable to buy a new project fi compatible phone or do any other payments, except... My monthly Fi bills continued to be processed as usual. I tried escalating with Fi support and filing a BBB complaint (which at least got looked at, but did not resolve my account standing). Finally, I contacted a Googler that commented here on HN and luckily they were sympathetic and fixed the issue. If I hadn't have been able to get my account in good standing and I was forced to start over with a new Google account, I would have switched to an iPhone. Sometimes I wonder if I should have switched anyway.

you've clearly not used any of the modern roaming-enabled encrypted overlay networks that people have been working on. one example is hyperboria. i connect to a handful of public relays (and one that i host myself) and no matter where i am my device is reachable at the same ip address. the address is an ipv6-encoded hash of the public key that is used for routing. its actually really neat, and you don't need to wait more than a few seconds for the routing tables to update if you change locations.

The key difference about the bytecode is that the sources are available under terms other than the GPL, but the SDK license they use does not permit commercial exploitation.

I can't find a better language to use in 2019 in the backend if you are developing a website.

Is there a better language built for rapid web application development. You could debate which is better rails/laravel but in 2019 I would learn php.

You may suggest Go, python, .net, node, Perl or java. They could be used but each only offers an advantage in certain situations and make development slower or have another disadvantage.

If you want to make a website using php is the simplest easiest fastest choice available.

. . . Under current U.S. admiralty law, which conforms to international salvage law as laid out in the Salvage Convention of 1989, assistance rendered another vessel is considered salvage when: 1) the assisted vessel is subject to a reasonable apprehension of marine peril; 2) the assistance is voluntary; and 3) the assistance is successful in whole or part.

A successful salvor is NOT entitled to just keep the salved vessel, under any circumstances, but is entitled to a generous award. GENEROUS AWARD ? . . . imagine if marine law was applied to city streets . . .

There are so many companies that could make customer service an absolute breeze compared to the nightmare they have created by just offering customer service chat with reps that are actually empowered to do something.

> “Like I said, your behavior falls more under "annoying behavior". So any disconnection breaks one rule or another,”

This is the part that does not seem to be true. The way this works for federation-operated tournaments is not the same thing at all as basic rules of chess, and instead is highly specific to that physical format of chess. Moreover, the physical constraints of an in-person tournament would make its rules about abandonment less relevant for comparison with internet disconnections, not more.

On the point of “annoying behavior” — still, you’re not addressing the fact that disconnections are not the fault of that player and often are not anticipateable or controllable.

For things that happen in federation-operated tournaments that also are not intentional or controlled by the player, it would clearly be mitigating circumstances such that the rules you’re trying to cite would not be relevant anyway.
Reposting again - earlier in the thread someone posted a solution:

“The most rapid increase was in direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising, which increased from $2.1 billion (11.9%) of total spending in 1997 to $9.6 billion (32.0%) of total spending in 2016.“

In terms of inflation, you can actually check. What cost $17.7 in 1997 would cost $27.07 in 2016. So, no it’s an increase.

The Semantic Web does not require XML these days. JSON-LD (for JSON) and GRDDL/Microdata (for HTML) are widely-acknowledged standards.

That’s not really true, you can swap out the assets for your own. People do this. You just have to swap out all the assets.

Projects vary between “total conversions”, which give you essentially a new game with the existing engine, to things like Freedoom, which are complete sets of replacement assets for the stock game. Freedoom isn’t really a different game from Doom, but it combines the GPL Doom source with a new set of assets so it’s completely free.

It's funny that the model we ended up with is that social activities of government can only be funded by budget-constrained financing where deficits are viewed with alarmism, with taxes not really causing strong growth/shrink effects.

On the other hand commercial activities can be funded via issuing currency through fractional reserve banking - causing national and global asset bubbles with periodic recessions and terrible effects on growth and productivity.

I think we need to move to different mental models of both to advance past our current economically induced problems.
This is a BIG problem that needs to be fixed imho.
Yes, the last line is for CI. It just runs the tool as a simple check that it built correctly. Cross-compilation does not work with Core RT anyway, so we can assume that you are always building for the host platform.

It's interesting you bring up access to information: it seems like a blessing and a curse.

On the one hand, I have more information at my fingertips than someone with access to the entire NYC library system would have had in the 1970s.

On the other hand, the outlier-emphasis of social and news media makes me aware of and able to worry about things someone in the 1970s wouldn't have thought to.

I feel like there was probably an optimal internet (for utility and overall positive impact) from ~1970-1998.

In hindsight, we should have more strongly segregated the information internet from the commercial internet, then let each evolve in isolation.
Can China become a scientific superpower?
Yes. You’ll want to force a port from Google to AT&T or Verizon, and then back to T-Mobile if that’s who you want to end up with.

You are really fast in switching the discussion from “taxes should be used to as a wealth redistribution scheme” to “hey it’s kind of like paying for the resources you might have used”. I am all for paying taxes that fund the public goods, but half of the things you’ve mentioned are not them. And most certainly this is not what’s being advocated by the proponents of the “justice and equity”.
