I’m not convinced yet (and neither am I convinced of Tesla’s claims). You can’t make strong causal claims from observational studies. Run a real experiment and I’ll take these claims more seriously.

(For example, there are a ton of potential confounding variables that could be causing the difference other than the safety of the car, like demographic differences.)

The burden of proof is on the claimant, whether it’s Tesla claiming their vehicles are safe or skeptics claiming they’re not. Until then, neither adds much to the discourse.
> It's a technical distinction without a practical difference.

There's a lot of practical differences when actually implementing configuration with either XML or JSON, due to technical distinctions.

> The point isn't whether you can represent a document in JSON, it's about how easy it is for a human to manage it.

If XML is easier to manage, why are people shifting from XML and to JSON for configuration? You may have some experience with HTML, but have you actually used some of these XML abominations that are used for configuration?

> The XML/HTML structure is far easier as things get more complex.

Configuration files shouldn't be complex. They're mostly key-value pairs, perhaps a couple of lists here and there and a modest amount of nesting. XML is complex to begin with.

Perhaps at some stage, for some use-cases, XML starts becoming simpler to edit. Configuration files generally isn't one of them.

> The page you linked to shows this quite clearly even with the small "Bulleted List Example" at the bottom.

It's an example of representing XML-like structure with JSON, which is fairly easy. Try it the other way around, things get hairy. If you were to represent the data as JSON, you wouldn't write it like that.

Now allegedly you can do the whole process without saving, and it will be persisted in local storage until it is saved, so you can try another go. I recommend doing a song that you really like.
If you do wanna save a song, you have to be logged in, and in the creator form, only the song, and the html input elements are required. the pick song button should open a modal where you can choose an existing song, or create one using the edit mode, i prefer this way instead of doing a combobox with typeahead.

> Not to mention, rat society doesn't change much whether it's ten rats or a hundred.

It turns out rat society is much more complicated than I at least thought, and it definitely changes dramatically once it reaches a critical mass.

> Is this a totally reasonable thing to say, though, comparing us to rats in this situation?

I don't know. It depends on how generalizable social behavior is. I think it's very worrying with the problems we see with socialization in the world today and behaviors that, by analogy, resemble what's going on in Calhoun's experiments. We also have some anecdata from other social animals experiencing different types of collapse, where even though there is the physical capability of reproduction, the social collapse prevents it from occurring.

> Rats have no concept of extinction or death, humans do. To me, that means a lot.

What we abstractly know, for better or for worse, generally has little do with how we act. For example, human populations that experience severe trauma have problems even generations later, despite all their knowledge that their behavior is counterproductive.

> Who cares if it is indirect - if it puts any kind of pressure on the censorship system, it's worth it

Determining whether an action is is "worth it" requires a cost-benefit analysis. You've merely listed a single benefit.

There's a lot of grumbling in this thread about "holding Apple to its word." Okay, fair enough, consistency is a good thing, and we should hold each other to that standard. But in the face of mass censorship in China, ignoring the bigger picture in order to myopically focus on Apple's consistency seems suspicious.

It reminds me of a thread here a few months back, where world leaders took private jets to a meeting on climate change. And of course people complained about the hypocrisy. But do those complainers really care about the environment? I'd argue no, or at least not as much as they care about virtue signaling, or about putting rich people in their place. Otherwise they'd do the very simple math to determine that the environmental impact of these flights are negligible, and they'd redirect their attention to efforts that actually matter.

This Apple/China stuff feels similar. Great, Apple is somewhat hypocritical. Who cares? This is standard gossip and moral shaming. I can get that anywhere. I'd like to see a deeper level of discussion on Hacker News, especially from those with strong opinions on this issue.

What's the bigger picture? What does the situation look like holistically?

If Apple pulls out of China due to a principled moral stand, what will that accomplish? How will things change if those dollars go elsewhere? What are the second- and third-order effects?

It is sad how pop music on a Western model with its 12-tone equal temperament (or an East Asian model with pentatonic equal temperament) has, in the course of invading the whole world, gradually marginalized many local traditions that are microtonal. If those local traditions cannot manage to recover on their own, maybe some openness to microtones among Western pop music would help non-Western microtonal musics get more of the limelight.

Unfortunately, as with the highly complex rhythms that RDJ employed in some of his work (e.g. the "drill-and-bass" style), microtones are likely to entertain only a relatively small demographic of anoraks while striking the mainstream as too “weird”.

This is the first time I read about TOM. After checking out the syntax, I don't like the way you declare nested data, because if you need to move one block of data to a different parent you need to replace all the path of each table. If done wrong, this can lead to very difficult to find errors.
OTOH, it can be easier to send partial information, just append this block to your config and you are done.

IMO Facebook has three useful features left: the personal rolodex, event planning, and groups. I truly think that a large number of users would migrate over if someone replicated those three. No large info collection on your profile, no wall or posts, just a friend/messaging option, the ability to create events, and to organize into groups made by users to make posts there only, not in public. You know, to actually make and support communities that would actual exist in physical space.

With the troubles of Facebook and the alternatives, many just don't use Facebook anymore, even if those features aren't broken. If it's a fresh service with no ties to Facebook, I think you'd see something interesting.

IaC tools often handle more than kubernetes, but agreed that k8s is a fantastic way to get reproducible behavior which is absolutely imperative for testing.

This is kinda why I love Google Cloud and don't see myself moving to another cloud provider until they match GKE. I want all developers to throw everything into GKE, and Operations manages only the VPC's, firewalls etc. Developers get complete ownership over compute (and networking within the cluster) while broader network management can still be managed by an operations team.
> Why would you want to figure out the dependencies without executing script?

Originally, the whole point of using configuration files for builds was to eliminate the programmatic element where you used lots of little scripts to run builds. Config files are easy to read and reason about.

> Programmatic configuration allows e.g. specify some library version once (e.g. springVersion) and use it for 10 dependencies as a variable

Declarative syntax can also include variables which can't be reassigned to later.

Gradle's original marketing message was based around its syntax, i.e. Apache Groovy being easier to read than XML, which is true. But providing the programmatic ability of Groovy as well is a step backwards for configuration best practice, ultimately resulting in an increase in technical debt. Thankfully, almost all the Gradle build scripts out there are simple 20-liners which don't use programmatic logic.

Gradle ought to follow the example of Jenkins pipelines, which later provided a Declarative Syntax as an alternative to Groovy to mitigate this very issue.
Is that not overproduction in a sense?

Well... it doesn't exactly debunk it, does it Comrade?

I'm with the authors, I wouldn't trust a Soviet era transcript of a space mission, anymore I would of a show trial.
"Debunked" is a pretty strong word. The disputed elements of the story are mostly based on the account of one person (Venyamin Russayev, the KGB minder assigned to Yuri Gagarin) and they are contradicted by official transcripts and the memoirs of the people involved.

But, this occurred in the USSR, so I don't think we really know what happened with any high level of certainty.
Honest people are rare. An honest person will do the right thing even when they think no one else is watching, and even when they believe they will never be caught.

That, of course, brings up the question of what the "right thing" is. In a society with no moral absolutes, what is the right thing? Who is to say that a greedy agent is not a good person, as compared to an honest agent?

What about if the police had a dedicated fund for arrests.
For the employer - they aren't allowed to sack the employee, but administrative costs of finding temp staff can be claimed from the fund.
For the arrested, all cost of living expenses are covered until trial, but should they be found guilty, this becomes a CPI indexed, interest free debt.
Any pre-conviction incarceration costs where accused is found innocent are also paid by the fund.
This seems to grab most of the data in one account. But does also seem to add a big incentive to find people guilty...
NYC does this through zoning regulations. Older buildings were typically designed with setbacks [1]. After zoning code changes in the 1960s most buildings became tall boxes attached to open plazas or low rise buildings instead.

True, but isn't that the entire point of hdhps, to minimize unnecessary visits?

They still provide no additional cost annual physicals, so you'll get the required yearly screening.

Additionally, many offices have no cost phone or email advice.

I'm personally quite happy with my family HDHP - and it is nice to have additional retirement savings.

But you have to have a savings mindset; many people don't which is what leads to medical spending increases when a refund comes in.

My feelings exactly. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with a hammer (vim), but it's a poor use of time using one to fasten 3000 nails to frame a building. I think vim/emacs users get defensive and militant because they've invested significant time and effort into learning a specific set of skills that tie into their professional, and to an extent personal, identity. It's an understandable psychological defense mechanism to reject the notion that those skills are significantly less valuable nowadays, but it doesn't negate the fact that their judgement is being clouded.
Through no fault of the author, this comment thread explains the trick. The article talks about US health care access but the discussion quickly goes off into the weeds of the US health insurance market. As soon as we start talking about premiums we adopt business language and metrics and abandon medical language and metrics.

I'm just thinking about profitability.

e.g. If I were a consultant to, say, Nvidia, and I told them that they were wasting valuable IT personnel time and resources by locking down and protecting their R&D documents, that all of the computers containing such info were needlessly and wastefully secure, and that, in short, there is no harm in making that info available to the public, including to Intel and AMD -- I mean, I just wonder how I would convince them.

Wouldn't they say something like "No. Releasing that info would be harmful to our bottom line, shareholders, and employees whose bonuses depend upon profitability."
Until the onus is on Tesla to prove their claims, rather than cherry picking statistics for marketing, it's better to be sceptical of what they say about safety of an unproven emerging technology that they are emphasizing to sell more cars. Basically, Tesla needs to prove that this reasonable analysis is wrong because they are the people making the claims about safety.

They really shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt. The burden of proof is on the company selling a system to control a two ton vehicle travelling over 70mph.

There are numerous examples that have been given and I think all of them are disingenuous. Every single one of the examples harms people directly in some way. Burying a countries history intentionally is far different than censoring information that can harm people. Even under the 1st amendment we can actually get some of those examples. For example the media can publish classified but leaked material. The act of obtaining it without permission and releasing it to the public is illegal, but journalist are protected when reporting whistle blowing.

America is far from perfect, case in point the Red Scare, Japanese interment, civil rights atrocities. But that's not the issue. The issue is the tech companies specifically are forces that span the globe and those decisions and the ethical stances WILL and DO spill over into all societies they are apart of. Just look at oil companies, our desire for cheap oil and their desire for our money has driven wars, exploitation, corruption, etc.

It's easy for first world countries to ignore that because it happened else where, with tech companies though, those decisions leak into every country. Those policies are applied across the world. Apple's and other tech giants' stances on following the law regardless of morals and rights is applied everywhere. If that same law was here, they'd do it here.

That's the issue, not whether or not someone is putting medical information or classified information up for sale.

Pressure does affect chemical equilibria, the canonical example is that above a certain pressure calcium carbonate actually becomes soluble. That's why you don't find hard-shelled organisms at the bottom of the ocean. Kinetics are affected, too, because the energy of transition states varies with the pressure. That said, they grew the bacteria from their samples at ambient pressure without problems.
