I don't think think this has to do with "culture of bending rules".

This just seems an excuse to me of what is evident every where in the world - greedy corporates will always test the boundaries of the law to the maximum, to maximise their profits, testing the limits of the government to see what they can get away with.

As the article itself highlights, once the FDA started being more strict complaints from India decreased and compliance increased. (And India was more responsive than China.)

In fact, if the article is right, there seems to be an opportunity here for outsourcing FDA's inspection to a third party, as FDA seems to be finding it difficult to get its staff to stay in India (and possibly other asian countries) for inspection.
Palantir slashes employee options price ahead of expected IPO
Creating your own build tools becomes unmaintainable by anyone else. People do it all the time, and pay the price when they have to change their builds. There is a reason CMake is used by a lot of projects, it's not somehow due to everyones incompetance.
Bazel works very well for C++ applicatios.
Cross platform builds are well supported.
I'm not arguing that it doesn't do what it was designed to do. I'm arguing that it is a grotesque DSL with bizarre design choices. CMake would have been better off as a cross-platform library that didn't re-invent concepts that other programming languages have already gotten correct, and instead focused on making the build system be cross-platform.
> Few would say Wikipedia is exploiting its users.

You started with exploitative commercial sites which "tend to have the same business model." Wikipedia doesn't belong on the low end of a concocted poll of "few---some---many" in that regard. It's a different class of service with a completely different governance, content licensing, software licensing, and log access model. Putting it there pretends those issues aren't vital to your set of questions.

Is BF designed so that Rachel naturally learns how the BF sausage gets made? Seems that a) she never had any interaction with decision makers at BF, b) she still has no way to deduce what inferences can be made when people click on BF quizzes, c) she had no access to the decision-making process at BF nor how her work affects to it.

The consequence of that is she was blind-sided by a set of ethical concerns. It was a tweet from a laid-off employee that first suggested her work may affect BF's bottom line and the livelihood of the people who worked there. The pipe that connected her with BF almost seems designed to have prevented her from ever facing any ethical concern whatsoever.

One big "mind blown" moment to me was reading about Piggly Wiggly launching the "self-service supermarket" concept. As someone living firmly in the modern world, it was hard to imagine it working any other way than it does now (outside of a detatched-from-reality western movie "General Store")

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggly_Wiggly#History

> At the time of its founding, grocery stores did not allow their customers to gather their own goods. Instead, a customer would give a list of items to a clerk, who would then go through the store, gathering them. This created a greater cost, and therefore higher prices. Piggly Wiggly introduced the innovation of allowing customers to go through the store, gathering their own goods, thus cutting costs and lowering prices.

> Customers at Piggly Wiggly entered the store through a turnstile and walked through four aisles to view the store’s 605 items sold in packages and organized into departments. The customers selected merchandise as they continued through the maze to the cashier. Instantly, packaging and brand recognition became important to companies and consumers.[5]
As any good lawyer would ask of these charges, cui bono?

The charges seem very murky. The evidence that Nissan managers schemed to have Ghosn removed seems quite clear on the other hand.
The problem with such an argument (imagine that you're born as...) is that it presupposes an arbitrary line based on the limits of your imagination.

You could just as well be born a farm animal, or a blade of grass.

Absurd? Perhaps. It's no more absurd to me than attempting to imagine being born as a Frenchman.
Ask HN: Where am I going wrong?
I keep building startups and side projects, and they keep failing. Initially I was doing it to make money, now I'd just be grateful if anyone used any of the stuff I build. My first project launched in 2003. It was a competitor to bunk1.com but I couldn't get any camps to sign up to it because I was crap at sales. Since then I've spent untold numbers of hours building various projects. Some, where I was in between jobs would be full time efforts. Others would be done evenings and weekends but still consume nearly all my free time.

There's something about the idea of running my own software business that appeals to me in a way I can't describe. Now, 15 years later I have nothing to show for it. I can live with the fact that my projects have never made money but it hurts to think I've put so much effort into something nobody wants.

I used to have a "build it and they'll come" mentality but I learned about lean startups and started validating ideas. Now I try to make sure there is at least some interest in what I'm building and then mention in in related forums, groups etc I usually get a positive response but this never translates into traction.

I often see 'Show HN' posts blowing up and sometimes I don't understand how they get as many votes as they do. After 15 years I feel like I've exhausted every resource and I'm just not cut out for this.

Where am I going wrong HN?
I grew up in the US, but I had a similar limitation because my parent's house was in a ravine. Eventually in my tweens I wired an antenna up on the roof (my room was in the attic) and was able to capture a handful of signals, but changing the channel involved climbing out on the roof to adjust the antenna, so it was not convenient. I definitely credit this with stoking my interest in computers and other hobbies. The neighbor kids had cable and they never seemed to do anything else.
The phone company had operators that would look things up in the Yellow Pages for you.

That's due to the nature of economic engine games. When you're just starting out, it's an uphill battle where every decision matters a lot. When you get past a certain point, you enter what my friend and I like to call the "mop-up phase." This is the situation where your opponents are extremely far behind, with no hope of catching up, and your decisions matter very little. Not only do you have to make a lot of mistakes to even come close to falling behind but your good decisions are inconsequential as well.

Game designers have thought long and hard about this problem over the entire history of the genre. There have been numerous attempts at putting in mechanisms to slow down a player with a large empire but they often just make the game more tedious. I think this is the wrong approach. Once you reach an overwhelming advantage the game should allow you to close it out easily.

I think of chess at a high level. If no player ever resigned, instead forcing their opponents to perform extremely long, drawn-out checkmate sequences in theoretical win positions, people would hate it. Just resign so we can move on to the next game!

This reminds me, in a way, of sailing stones [1]. Although they happen in quite different environments (snowy areas for rollers, deserts for stones), they both are an inanimate thing clearly moving around without human or animal help in non-obvious ways.

As a customer, I would like to use a zero knowledge application for note taking. I don’t want my notes leaked due to security breaches. I also don’t want them to used for other purposes such as data for machine learning without my permission. My notes should always be encrypted and I am the only who has the key.

You may want to take a look at Bitwarden to see how they do it. It is open source. You can use the similar architecture for client side encryption and decryption, and extend it to note taking.

I think you can make a similar statement about coding in general. For me, I got into coding because it was fun and I worked on projects (games) when I was in high school because I wanted to create something. The code I wrote was terrible but I kept at it because I really wanted that end result (a game of my own creation). If someone had told me it was hard, I probably would have laughed because it was mostly about persistence.

It is very interesting, but how can people without an ID card vote, open a bank account or buy a ticket for a plane? How are they identified then? I guess there must be some equivalent of ID anyway. At least in Russia you need an internal passport even to exchange the currency if the amount exceeds $611 (which is great because earlier the threshold was about $250).

> Gasoline and gas taxes

This seems like a legacy problem that will soon go away. Gas taxes were done because they were a good proxy for both miles driven, when most cars got roughly the same milage. But now you have cars that get a few miles to the gallon while another car that might be heavier is getting 35mpg. And of course electric cars.

I suspect gas taxes will switch to milage taxes in the next few years as more and more electric cars are adopted. In California they've already started charging electric cars an extra fee on the annual registration to make up for the lack of gas taxes.

You essentially have a tradeoff between two kinds of coupling:

- either you're coupling the logic and the representation.

- or you have coupling between your different UI components and the global application.

You're talking about the first kind of coupling and say it's bad, but IMHO the second kind is even worse in some cases.

There is no silver bullet, it's all about tradeoffs.

I'm not sure if we should hold onto humans doing things machine's can do better.

Instead, perhaps UBI makes better sense. I know the economics part won't make sense until we're past the need for the current system, but if we don't need people to work, why have them waste their lives with suboptimal labor.

My biggest issue with UBI is that you'll probably just get millions watching Netflix all day. What would be awesome is if those millions were writing books, doing physics, or creating works of art instead. You'd have machines doing the labor and humans being freed up to focus on new contributions to society.

Of course, not to be elitist, but I'm not sure how many truck drivers will pick up work on the grand unified theory of physics, but if even one makes a new and important discovery that would be amazing. Also, I wonder how long until even jobs held by the highly educated (healthcare...etc) are largely automated?
Learn Reagent (Clojure)
The main flaw with this article is that it's reasonable to think that since car transportation is already expensive for the poor that there shouldn't be even more costs for the poor. In "realpolitik" one can't really vote for "congestion charges but only if we remove tax A from the poor".

So yes, people can acknowledge that many things about transportation are inequitable while still believing that congestion charges are inequitable.

"Don't worry about writing perfect code, rather make it work somehow, perfection will come later."

I think your advice is true, esp for education and Worse is Better effect. I think the follow-up is wrong for two reasons:

1. Useful code tends to stick around long time getting extended more than refactored for quality.

2. Due to the methods involved, the highest, quality designs usually need to be designed for that upfront. Certain decisions will favor reaching the goal.

So, my advice for high-quality outcome is to design for it with simple constructs, straight-forward composition, and plenty of docs made on the way. Gives someone a better start if they want to try to perfect it years down the line.

Companies stick with Oracle and IBM for multi-decade stretches, maybe the move to cloud will be what it takes to dislodge them, but then again, in a world where Azure, AWS and GCP exist some people still choose Oracle and IBM, so there's no explaining it.

If the build system was a library called from a popular scripting language, it would only take a few minutes of reading the API docs before it builds could be modified. Also, there is a niche for new build systems: one-off projects that "don't matter." If you want to introduce a new build system, your first target market could be throwaway point-a-to-point-b projects and then you could expand outwards from there.

Another story about Teflon! Why do these articles always bury the lede? Just say it's Telfon!

There's a great documentary about this that came out last year called, The Devil We Know. The TL;DR is that Dupont (seller of Teflon) and 3M (the inventor) knew early on that Telfon caused birth defects and cancer.

They knew it would poison the water supply and could never be remediated. And they went ahead and sold it, again and again, into thousands of products because Dupont was earning about $1B in profits (on their $23B in revenue) just from Teflon alone.
Besides, it's too reductionist to compare them that way.

It entirely depends on what kind of books you're reading vs kind of games playing vs kind of videos watching.

Every medium has content that can be placed on a spectrum ranging from trash to nutritious.

The argument against here that I find most compelling is that the externalities of you driving your car are so insanely huge that it should be priced into the range of ridiculousness.

Things that you have to consider (The numbers attached are completely made up and probably off by multiple orders of magnitude in most cases, but are to make the point that you should be assigning costs to these things. Then you should multiply by them by reasonable estimates of the quantities that make up the denominator on the unit and see what you come up with. Also note that as there are less cars on the road the externalities per car probably go up):

- Air quality (say, 0.1c per person you drive past?)

- Noise polution (say, 0.1c per person you drive past?)

- Road size - realestate cost (say, 0.000001c/trip per per person who pays taxes?)

- Road size - increased walking (and other travel) time (say, 0.0000001c/trip per person who crosses a road you drove on?)

- Congestion (say, 1c for everyone on a bus behind you?)

- Road maintenance (probably negligible compared to the other costs)

- Pedestrian safety (...)

- Climate change (...)
