It's obvious that ycombinator's business model is not based on Hacker News advertising - but hacker news is still used as platform for their portfolio companies and services. Hacker news is just a curated list, so calling it "free content" is a bit of a stretch, unless you're saying that the content provided are the comments of the user, but I'd argue that the website wouldn't be the same without the link to the content being commented on (which are in a big part, funded by ads). Y-Combinator is for profit by the way, and it invests in companies supported by advertising (e.g. Reddit).

> Funding only matters in a worldview where everything you do has to somehow turn a profit and grow to a gigantic scale to bring in even more profit.

Funding is not required only for growing into a gigantic scale. If you want to open a restaurant in your small town, you'll require some sort of funding. Even if you don't want to profit and just want to cover costs, you'll need a stream of money coming in from somewhere.
I personally don't see anything wrong in people getting paid for their work - if you really want to create your own content and give it out for free, you can do so (a lot of people currently do just that).

Congress banned monopoly cable franchises in 1992. These companies have no legal protection from competition that would justify a mandate. They also don’t generally receive subsidies. The universal service fund only recently started offering subsidies for broadband. (Obviously, if a company elects to take those subsidies, it should build the infrastructure they say they will build.) And at least for larger providers, the “subsidy” really isn’t a subsidy. The money just comes from a special tax on the industry, so for say AT&T, the “subsidy” is really coming out of their own pocket.

As to Romania—that country has vastly lower broadband penetration in rural areas (where more than half the population lives) than the US: https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2018/05/22/romanian-broadban.... Also, costs are not easily comparable across countries. The vast bulk of costs of building fiber in the US is labor costs, both for initial build and for ongoing maintenance. Building infrastructure in a blank slate with developing country labor costs is a very different proposition than doing the same thing in the US. (It’s also why China can build tons of high speed rail while the California HSR project ran out of money before getting out of Fresno.)

I get he gist of what you are saying is “if only we had cross company collaborations” but reality is that you’ll find people even inside the same company not collaborating. Heck you’ll find professors sitting in the same hallway for decades who are working on the same thing and not collaborating.

As for opening up data, as soon as the data becomes valuable to share companies do share it, but quite naturally they charge for it to recoup the costs of creating that same data. And when one company abandons a druf, they don’t just dump it in the ocean, they sell it of to other companies again to recoup some of the costs.

Qantas Flight 72 [4] three independent inertial reference units, bug in voting system if a single sensor's output had multiple spikes 1.2 seconds apart (no fatalities)

I think the argument you're making is completely false.

First Premise is that there re not many avionics expers - I agree so having more of those experts able to look at review and learn from different implementations would be a good thing.

Second premise is that you need to be an avionics expert to review and improve avionics software, I'm not convinced, there are many clever people out there.

Third premise you can't test or run the software becuase there is no emulator; maybe if the software was open source someone would start writing an emulator - maybe an emulator could be open sourced?

Fourth point; nothing would change if it was open source - I think the quality of code that would be released would go up and that's the main thing I'm talking about, embarrassment would be the optimal solution to something like this - I'd be very suprised if Boeing would release software that used a single sensor as input to a critical system like this.

In addition to ad blocking, VPN is becoming a very important feature for modern web browsers. With so many countries blocking websites and websites geoblocking users it becomes necessary to help users circumvent that to access a wide web. This is kind of the whole point of web browsers, give access to world wide web, not local web.

Interestingly, Opera trying to compete with other browsers makes it pursue users interests, while other browsers yet again don't see Opera as competition, ignore users and pursue megacorp interests instead.

The Abstract is a good summary. I am unsure how useful this is today. We now have battle tested numerical libraries that use Runge Kutta and similar to solve ODEs.

Abstract:
SIN and SOLDIER are heuristic programs written in LISP which solve symbolic integration problems. SIN (Symbolic INtegrator) solves inde-finite integration problems at the difficulty approaching those in the larger integral tables. SIN contains several more methods than are used in the previous symbolic integration program SAINT, and solves most of the problems attempted by SAINT in less than one second. SOLDIER (SOLu-tion of Ordinary Differential Equations Routine) solves first order, first degree ordinary differential equations at the level of a good col-lege sophomore and at an average of about five seconds per problem attempted.

It’s a small jump from blocking websites to blocking popular VPNs. I know two countries which block websites (Russia and Kazakhstan) and they either block or have plans to block VPNs. I don’t see centralized VPN as effective solution for that problem.
And I would be among those mocking the idea, but that's because I think:

1. The supposed harms of particular lies are frequently overblown.

2. The outright lies that have the most potential to do damage to society are those that get peddled by the mainstream media and believed by huge swathes of society, but the conventional "fake news" narrative of progressives focuses instead on obscure dedicated fake news sites run by Russians.

3. The proposed cures for this supposed evil of "fake news" all involve giving large institutions the role of determining what is true and censoring all dissent. That is a recipe for a society whose beliefs are far more divorced from truth than the one we currently live in, not less.

None of that is equivalent to the claim that literally no harm is ever done by lies in the news. I don't think anyone believes that, and I think you're badly misreading those of
us who are contemptuous of the "fake news" narrative if that's the interpretation of our views you've walked away with.

I agree this is all a huge pain. I've been burned on "this test cost you x because of the facility it was done in and if you had gone to one of our partner labs (which you'd have no way of knowing without calling us), you could have had it done in <dedicated, partner lab> for 1/4x".

I recently learned that there are 2 different codes involved and that it's the combination that matters.

1. The diagnostic code - the reason why you need that test

2. The procedure code - what the test is

My insurance tells me that their coverage (as in whether they cover a service or do not) is different for the same procedure code with a different diagnostic code. I'm not sure if that implies that their coverage price for the same procedure code also varies by the diagnostic code.

Your doctor can give you both codes for the test they're prescribing. In theory, your insurance company can tell you what they'll pay for the combination, and then you can contact each lab / hospital / service provider to get an estimate for what they'd bill. It's unclear how much recourse you have if the bill turns out to be significantly different than the estimate… that is once the bill actually arrives, sometimes 30–60 days later. I'm not sure if the service provider's bill varies for the same procedure code with a different diagnostic code.

Admittedly this is all a huge pain and with my insurance company at least, cannot be done online, you must call and wait. It's all such a time sink that I usually just get the service done upfront and hope. Sometimes the end consumer cost is practically free, sometimes it's hundreds of dollars or more.

It should be more feasible for us to know a rough estimate for a procedure across providers upfront.
Crypto in this case is also being used as an authentication / password replacement system. Signing with your wallet address proves you are a specific person. So that alone is a great reason to include the wallet.

However, I do believe that reliance and trust in Opera of yore would have been based on those running it before circa 2011-2013 when there was a major change of staff, resignation of founder, switch to Chromium/Blink, etc. That all predates the Chinese acquisition (2016)

This is true as well, although my understanding is that they reworked all of that original code if I'm not mistaken, but nonetheless, a huge amount of credit belongs to both KDE and Apple regardless, which I find fascinating because: Google, Microsoft, and even Amazon (with their Chrome fork for their Fire tablets) benefited from it.

Real World PlantUML Examples
Stalls can be extremely difficult to recover from as it means the wings have lost lift, and therefore the control surfaces (which you need to regain stability) have reduced or even complete loss of effect - a so-called 'deep stall'. As bad as MCAS is, it could theoretically (in practise, couldn't) be switched off in this scenario and the plane would be flyable. In the imagined scenario where the plane pitched up and began to stall, Beoing's logic is that without MCAS, the plane would be essentially doomed. Air France 447 crashed due to a (pilot-induced) deep stall; it was otherwise stable at cruising altitude.

The root cause is without doubt relying on a single sensor, and then downplaying the importance of the system so that nobody opted for the additional expense of the extra sensor. Boeing also have to answer for their lack of transparency; their flight control logic has always left the pilot fully in control of the plane, and can override any automatic system. This sets them apart from Airbus, which under almost all circumstances will defer to the computer.

In ways, the 737 MAX crashes are the antithesis of the 447 crash - the pilots thought they were in full command of the plane, whereas an automatic system designed to protect them malfunctioned, versus the pilots in the Air France plane believed the computer would protect them from exceeding the plane's capabilities, whereas the plane's computers could not get reliable data and passed full control to the pilots.
The quote in question specifically says “free and open internet” which has a massively different connotation than merely “no direct cost.”

Free and open software, and by extension the internet services wishing to provide a free and open internet, often has no direct cost to end users and also does not generate income from ads, and seeks non-exploitative funding or donation models very different from advertising.

Regardless of how many ad-based services people use at no direct cost, it’s highly debatable whether these services contribute in any way to the “free and open” internet... their widespread usage and superficial lack of direct financial cost certainly don’t factor in at all and are not relevant details for what the quote is discussing.

I think this is a widespread problem, especially with things like npm where small modules are advocated for.

Taking a random example from GitHub, installing the npm modules for Polymer/polymer yields duplicate dependencies of @types/node (4.9.1, 6.0.118, 9.6.41, 10.12.18, 10.12.21) dom5 (1.3.6, 1.1.0, 3.0.1) and many more modules...

I'm pretty sure you can find similar examples from most popular open source projects.

Brainy: A simple PHP class for machine learning
I always wonder what "battle tested" means.

Even very high-order Runge-Kutta solvers may fail to preserve simple qualitative properties such as having a linear oscillator stay in its phase space. Meaning: simulations of physical systems will typically diverge unless you're very lucky. Might mean a satellite failing to enter stable orbit. Solvers for systems with certain specific phase space properties may be found (for satellites there are particular solvers), but do you always know beforehand what you're dealing with?

This "numerical power will solve every problem" attitude is bound to lead us to disaster. But then, so was the "ORM will solve every problem" attitude, for example. Luckily we have people actively researching symbolic computation. Jeez, without symbolic computation finding very high-order Runge-Kutta methods is exceedingly hard and error-prone.
