You can google "electron size" and you get different classical estimations and hopefully a statement that there is no measuarable size and that it is considered a point particle.

But that doesn't mean it can't have interference. Interference occurs because of the wave function. The wave function for the electron and the electron itself are two different things.

They did a electon double split experiment where they fired electons one at a time. The electrons each made a single point (or small mark) on the measuring screen, but over time, the interference pattern formed. (To be honest I heard this back when I was learning physiscs, which was along time ago. It could have actually been a thought experiment or it could have been something besides an electron. Anyway I believe it is true.)

> The technical economic term for this collusion is probably something like 'efficient market price'

That's definitely untrue. I mean, clearly an order book shows many sellers with different opinions about what a fair price is, but it would seem reasonable that the price in between the bid and the ask is a close approximation of the efficient market price.

> Collusion can't mean that the sellers all have an implicitly coordinated price, because the market is always going to settle on an implicitly coordinated price if conditions aren't changing.

That's also pretty untrue, or so pedantic as to be meaningless. Clearly when orders are fulfilled on a proper bid/ask market, conditions aren't changing in any fundamental sense but the price definitely does.

You're really stuck applying Econ 101 in one of the worst places, retail. Your line of thinking has been completely co-opted by a very specific kind of consumption--buying all your things from the same few stores--where producers benefit from collusion, meaning coordinating pricing, at the zero-sum expense of consumers.

Ordinary consumers could buy their goods at auction, or from artisans, or in pre-sales. Those are much better examples of situations where secular trends could sometimes show the symptoms of collusion without actual collusion. But sellers on Amazon? C'mon man, sellers coordinate prices via implicit information exchange on Amazon in a way that, if they were allowed to, they would just collude straightforwardly to do so.
They'd need official recognition to be considered a livery company, and that would take some effort. But nothing would stop them from starting out as a 'normal' charity.

There is the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists(1). I looked at it some years ago but didn't end up joining. It's relatively open - you need a member or two to nominate you, but they have social events specifically open to non-members in part for the purpose of giving prospective members the opportunity to find someone who would be willing.

>The best argument might be that eventually no one will trust video.

Obama talked about it this afternoon. He said "This is bad, blah blah oh no." Of course, you don't believe me because I made this up. That doesn't preclude you from believing written quotes, given the right chain of trust. It's been great to have formats like video that didn't require the chain of trust for a while, but if that time has passed, there's nothing we can do. It is hard, but in the context of text where quotes have been easy to fake for ages, we have dealt with it. It's good for everyone to be on the same page.
Sure, worker rights shouldn't be limited to tge most vulnerable. This post however wasn't about work ethics, but about having too little time for yourself if you are working 40hrs/week. It's actually not even about work/life balance, but rather work/chores/hobbies balance. In my opinion you can't blame the 40hours of work.
Most start with good intentions. After realizing the power/advantage they have, whether it be from advanced technology, political office, or other position, they become jealous of it and find moral justification for clinging onto it despite conflict with their original intention.

There's probably a word for this sentiment that I'm not aware of.

For a long term marriage in which one spouse never worked, that spouse will likely receive spousal maintenance (alimony) calculated based on the last four years of income from the earning spouse. That will be owned in perpetuity regardless of future earning power. And if you can't pay it, expect to be found in contempt of court, and possibly see prison time.

To offer a counterpoint to the other commenters here:

I charge hourly and I wouldn't trade it for the world (unless I change the general concept on how I want to freelance).

When I freelance, I want freedom. For me that often means taking off the rest of the day spontaneously after lunch, or just ending the day early. When you are billing for a whole day/week that becomes much harder.

I also don't bill per-project, unless I have the ability to bring a trusted project manager onto the project as well, to provide me with some security against mismanagement, for the usual reasons like scope creep.

Charging hourly also makes it much easier to juggle multiple clients at the same time. For some reason, a meeting with all the stakeholders was set up on a day I am spending most of a day with another client? No problem, I just scoot right over, bill both client hourly accordingly, and nobody has any reason to complain.

As for clients being more prone to haggling over invoices with hourly rates, I haven't had that happen to me yet (~20 clients in 2,5 years). On the contrary, for project-based billing, there is usually a lot of time spent(/wasted) up front negotiating over pricing. I always send over a timesheet with my invoice, and if I had to guess I would guess that none of my clients ever checked that.

In the end, hourly billing gives me a much more relaxed life, a much more stable income stream, a much more stable growth in income, with far fewer headaches.

Agreed. It wasn't too long ago that The Crash[0] wiped-out a large portion of people's life-savings.

Couldn't agree more but what you're - essentially - describing is no different than the pensions as exists in Europe [1,2,3,4].

This isn't meant to be an affront but, for some reason, Americans have grown adverse to the idea of pensions; even though previous generations of Americans enjoyed the fruits of that very same labour.

Sounds like Google will still move towards what they were planning but will likely just take a bit more time and more versions to get there (as the outrage subsides).

From my perspective, the biggest improvement in their proposal would have been the increased privacy and security users would receive with adblockers that use the proposed scheme.

Under the current scheme, any Chrome adblocker can see all of the pages that users browse; a potentially huge privacy hole.

At least with the proposed scheme, adblocker extensions wouldn't have had access to a user's browsing history. This is the same approach that Safari uses with its content blocker API.

Yes, the Safari approach has more limitations, but it is also significantly better from a privacy perspective.

The article opens up the paper/book, which opens up the insight that the process an AI service serves, is altogether separate from the process that trains the AI service, and as the AI service becomes more general, it has less economic utility, and parts ways with what is already successful, onetask AI services. According to that theory, the idea is that the future has market forces keeping services (and those that implement them) in separate companies, and less like a distopian AGI oligopoly.

Isn't that just how language works? When a name doesn't suit your language's writing system it's natural to adapt it in a way that's more accessible. English simply doesn't have an acute accent.

It's why people in English speaking countries are named Michael (or one of the 50+ alternatives) instead of the original מִיכָאֵל, or why BBC reports on Chinese President Xi Jinping instead of Chinese President 习近平.
I think there's a very visceral part of seeing a human face do/say something that puts it in another league from text. Even though intellectually it may be known that both text and video are trivially forgable, I think it will be a long time before people truly start to question video.
I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand. How is a retirement account that you control, and whose investments you direct, the same thing as a pension?

I always thought that a pension was defined as:

"Contribute $A/month for X years, and we'll pay you $B/month for Y years after you retire - and don't worry about how it happens, you're guaranteed this money if you qualify."

Is that not how pensions in Europe work?
My understanding is that lot of the limitations of current LCD color gamuts stem from the quality of backlight used. That is why for example quantum dot technology is used to reproduce the wider rec2020 colorspace, because the spectrum of quantum dots is better suited for rgb filtering.

Although now that rec2020 is nearly an achieved goal, I do suspect that going beyond it requires more primaries as others have mentioned. Sharp experimented with a yellow primary, but that effort was fairly limited.

For oled I imagine the situation is much worse as more constraints in making the leds there.

Not the op, but just wanted to note various technologies in the past have been inspired by fiction: https://screenrant.com/star-trek-real-life-gadgets/

It’s a symbiotic relationship at times. Eg Computers became a thing, fiction ran with it and made up hand held tablet computers, Tricorders, universal translators etc, which materially (not always exclusively) influence future technology designs and directions. Today we have real tablet computers, universal translators etc which were inspired by fiction.

Edit: I missed the specific point being made that the Vietnam War was well, well before the GI Joe movies in question. Apologies!

I'm carving out a subsection for this, as the concept appears to contain a number of the elements (though not all of them) mentioned above. See Wikpedia's 9P (protocol) entry for more:

In particular, 9P supports Plan 9 applications through file servers:

acme: a text editor/development environment

rio: the Plan 9 windowing system

plumber: interprocess communication

ftpfs: an FTP client which presents the files and directories on a remote FTP server in the local namespace

wikifs: a wiki editing tool which presents a remote wiki as files in the local namespace

webfs: a file server that retrieves data from URLs and presents the contents and details of responses as files in the local namespace

I attended a pretty well known university in California and we had a professional ethics course where we analyzed case studies and current events in tech using the IEEE/ACM code of ethics. A number of states in the US have professional licensing requirements to be considered a Software Engineer so maybe that is a step in the right direction.

I do agree with your pretense though that programmers have a tendency to not think about ethics and should be held to some sort of code in the same way doctors and lawyers are supposed to be.
This should then apply to intellectual property as well.

"Requirement" is too strong a word. We've all read the Harvard 75 years old study [0] probably here, cause it was posted couple of times on HN, but I for one side with Chamfort: "Happiness is very difficult to find in yourself, but impossible to find someplace else"

I've felt this way all my life, even before I read Chamfort. I always valued quality relationships with people, not just any relationship with anyone. To me, being alone is much better than being in the wrong company.

It's very hard to find good, well-mannered people with moral integrity. At least it is for me. And based on everything I see around me, those people are just rare. Most people tolerate each other, instead of actively wanting to be friends/whatever with each other. I don't fully understand why that is. But is just is. I'm curious to see other's thoughts on this subject, though.

The problem for me in these alternatives is how little they take into account the users. Teaching people to use GPG has been hard enough, and now, with his proposal, for everything they do, they have to learn a new tool. Want to encrypt a file? Please, find, install, configure this tool. Want to sign something? Please, find, install, configure this tool. And many of these modern tools does not seem to have a nice UI which users can use. If these are only tools to be run on a terminal, then 'non-tech' users will not use them. And what worries me is that many of this modern alternatives have not have had sufficient crypto analysis or analysis in general. GPG is not perfect; but at least it has had analysis.
It's just converting between two forms of energy: total energy is still conserved. You might be thinking about the second law of thermodynamics, which limits how much can be converted.

Like you'd expect? No one is making claims of free energy. It's like putting a stirling engine on the side of an internal combustion engine. You have a chance to grab some of the waste heat, why not use it? Specifically, capturing that waste heat will boost efficiency by some small %, if the additional systems total construction cost is less than the efficiency given over the lifetime of the system, why not?

Work place pensions now are like investment accounts, except you have some degree of matching from the company and the government tops you up an extra 20% of what you contribute (it gets more complicated when you get into higher tax brackets, like getting 40% top up on portions, but getting it back by raising your untaxed income level instead of directly into the account. And very high earners it gets more complicated)

As an individual you can also open a SIPP which is a personal pension investment account, get all the government benefits but no company match of course.
