Hm, that should have gotten better with 11 (shared parallel hashjoin), but even before, there's plenty plans where parallelism is possible (by e.g. building the hashtable for a hashjoin over the smaller table(s) in each worker). Any chance parallelism is disabled?

That's probably a "golden" opportunity for the MPAA and the like. Implicate a Pirate Bay link with "neo-nazis" or "racists", watch it go down shortly after. Perhaps Alex Jones or Sargon of Akkad could start using it as another platform to distribute their content.
We can't blame this one on the icky lobbyists, though. It's pure exploitation of dark patterns, which means the people with responsibility here are people like HN readers -- PMs, designers and programmers, not lobbyists.

The irony is that IBM had one of the first Open Source communities: SHARE, dating back to 1955, shared software up to and including a whole OS, SOS (SHARE Operating System), well before Unix or home computers even existed.

I think a big part of the problem is the structure of the survey that these stories (and the "debunking" are based on) - I don't think you can fully support either conclusion based on it, for a few reasons:

1) At least a few of the possible responses don't really map to any conclusion. Take for example, "Put it on my credit card and pay it off in full at the next statement". Does this mean someone is struggling to pay the expense? Or just a normal way to pay for things? I mentioned in another comment - I keep a fairly large emergency fund and $400 would be trivial to cover, but I'd still pay for it on a card and then pay it off when it was due, so I'd select this option. I think it makes it hard to infer much from this.

2) The responses are multiple choice, so you can't really say "40% of people would struggle". In fact, the percentages sum to 140%, so I don't know what you really can conclude, other than it probably isn't as high as 40% or as low as 12%?
Does it matter? Nobody loses a penny when you download it. Someone made it because they wanted to make it or got paid to make it. The rest is history.
Why? This was always the case in world's history, and we survived.

If it was possible to address it with policy at a relatively low cost, then I'd be up for it, but something tells me that there is no policy that can make 100% (or even 90%) of people make rational life choices. Which means that the only option left is cleaning the messes caused by irrationality, and that's very expensive.

I'm also curious about this. Offhand I wouldn't expect it, since even the historical 14-year window is well past where most people buy or pirate a work. Of course, that also implies the time past 14 years isn't about giving creators time to monetize so much as letting a few behemoths protect their brands.

>Those who don’t have paid subscriptions probably aren’t that interested in music in the first place.

Or we run our own media streaming setup rather than pay Spotify $10/month. Spotify gives the illusion of supporting artists but the artists you listen to will never see a significant amount of money from your subscription fee.

I've downloaded thousands of albums over the years and have my own music library. Why should I pay Spotify for doing the same thing? This is literally how they seeded their library when they started out.

I have since mainly moved from torrenting to buying vinyl and using Bandcamp like others here have mentioned. I still see artists tour on occasion, but I'm not convinced that touring is sustainable for musicians, so I'd rather buy the album.

It's sad to me that so many have bought the lie that Spotify et al have pushed. They are no different from the music labels.

Even the kinetic energy (fan motors, HDD motors) eventually becomes heat. E.g., the moving air from fans dissipates its energy in turbulence in the room's air, and in a closed system (airtight room), the resistance to airflow (resulting in heat) must equal the pressure differential created by the fans, unless the air builds up unbounded speed. Likewise, torque to keep the HDD platters spinning will be exactly equal to frictional losses once the disks are spun up, so all power into the spindle motors becomes heat.

Even noise that leaves the system either becomes heat as the pressure waves dissipate through the atmosphere, or else do work on eardrums (mechanical energy) which eventually becomes heat as the inner ear resists the motion of the ear bones :-)
Is there any way I could add a button to my projects that would route "sponsorship" to a charity? Because I have a full time job, I do open source for fun, and I want to keep it that way — taking sponsorship would make that harder. But it would feel great to know that anything people wanted to put in the tip jar went straight to a non-profit.

Edit: answering my own question, their help page — https://help.github.com/en/articles/displaying-a-sponsor-but... — says "We don’t support the use of funding links for other purposes, such as for advertising, or supporting political, community, or charity groups."
Yup, we're a hot mess to work with.

Challenges:

- Procurement rules that require RFP/RFQ to obtain software and limit departments' abilities to get low cost, easy-win solutions.

- Older, non-tech savvy workforce

- Administrations that focus on high visibility IT projects (to public) without thinking about the not sexy foundational issues that are needed. Also politics.

- Siloes between departments that result in many types of systems that don't talk to each other.

- There's so much to do within government and so much that can be improved that the people who get things done are often overburdened. We're both understaffed and overstaffed at the same time. (not enough project managers!)

- Startups try to sell us solutions on problems that are only a small part of a bigger issue

> there have been articles of china's demise for decades now

I'm not talking about its demise. Quite the opposite. I'm talking about its people being smarter and more worldly than they get credit for, despite president Xi's very best efforts to the contrary. It has academics who are regularly imprisoned for criticizing the government and advocating for personal liberty. Scores of people cheat around the latest propaganda app (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/07/world/asia/china-xi-jinpi...). People use GitHub, for lack of better options, to exercise some small amount of free speech (https://www.npr.org/2019/04/10/709490855/github-has-become-a...).

There's a will. Chinese people don't want this kind of country. Many of them have just given up fighting it. We could help.

> I'm betting it will have as much support as japanese internment had in the US

Japanese internment has been looked back upon as one of the greatest human rights transgressions the U.S. has ever committed. It wasn't at the time, of course, but that can't be helped. It's also beside the point. I'm not saying "America is good and China is bad". I'm only saying, Xi's ruling party is bad. America has done some bad things too. It's still doing some bad things, like what's happening at the southern border.

Maybe what you don't grasp is that Americans are free to criticize their own government. We can have our own sets of values. I have a pretty low view of my own country right now. That doesn't mean I can't also point out China's problems and America's opportunity to do something about them. Of course, I also have very little faith in my government to take that kind of opportunity right now.

I guess a lot hinges on the elasticity of 'struggle' here.

Having adequate credit, and being able to pay that off within a month, with zero impact on your ability to pay other bills, doesn't sound like too much of a 'struggle' to me. Sure, people complain, it's inconvenient, some other discretionary expenditures will be clipped, you might pay some extra interest or late fees, boo-hoo. But it's not necessarily a symbol of notable hardship on either historical or international levels. (And if these people didn't have easy credit they're confident they could pay off: they'd have kept more hard cash around, like is common in other countries.)

Just like there's a 'hedonic treadmill', where things that used to bring pleasure wear out from familiarity, there's "complaint inflation", in a generally rich & comfortable place like the USA, where whatever remaining nuisances exist become headline news, and get described in grandiose language previously reserved for deathly serious hardships.

I'm sure something like 40% of Americans "struggle" to get out of bed some mornings. Or "struggle" to choose between a $400 and a $1200 smart phone. Or "can't even" achieve some imprecise euphemestic lifestyle goal like "making ends meet" or "the American Dream". It's mostly hyperbole.

There is massive consolidation work to do, but at least from what I saw, the news is better than you would probably believe.

The guys doing the consolidation are working "real time" on the structure, shoring up what is necessary as soon as they notice. Rapidly shifting priorities and tasks.

There were definitely parts that could easily collapse, bit again, compared to the rest of the structure, they appear to be minimal.

The overriding feeling I had was: Hats off to the firemen for the incredible restraint and foresight that they applied.

It is pretty well understood that people with true ADD and ADHD have dopamine deficiency and issues with dopamine regulation and re-uptake in the brain. This has been highlighted in many studies. While I understand that there is an epidemic of over-diagnosis of ADHD, it does not make it any less of a legitimate medical condition in which the only treatment for it, is to increase the usable dopamine in the brain. One of the tell tail signs of ADD/HD is that the first time one with dopamine deficiency takes an amphetamine or one of it's derivatives, they realize that they are completely clear and it's like they come out of a fog in their brain, it's more profound than just the feeling of I can get stuff done. Again that alone is not effective as a single point to diagnose attention disorders but it is a strong indicator that there could be a dopamine deficiency.

TLDR it is a true disorder, it is over-diagnosed but that does not make it any less a chemical disorder of the brain.

Patterson is a stellar wordsmith. I still miss his advice column in Slate. The commenters saying this doesn't distinguish finance (eg. "fashion groupthink pervades pretty much every career field") are missing the point. The thesis is not that bankers all dress the same - it's that they don't, and this is somehow an integral part of their job.

> “Goldman’s dress code is that you should dress the way you’re supposed to dress at Goldman. If you have to ask, etc. The difference between a middling banker and a great one is this sort of tacit knowledge.”

If you're shooting MF at f/2.8 on a 110mm lens with ~0.5x crop factor, you'll get similar results to shooting 55mm at f/1.4. So, not much advantage to making MF lenses with larger aperture.

If you're shooting f/1.4 on a full-frame camera, and swap to APS-C at f/0.95, you're not getting similar results. An f/0.95 is a somewhat extreme lens design and will have noticeable aberrations wide open. At least, the f/0.95 lenses that I've seen.

For the same reason, you rarely see LF lenses that open wider than, say, f/5.6 or f/4.

> Why not just get rid of the entire Constitution then? The idea of changing our constitution from that of a liberal republic to that of an authoritarian state should be universally met with disdain.

But it's wasn't universally met with disdain, it was broadly agreed upon. The amendment procedure requires 3/4 of the states to ratify it. The 16th amendment got 42 out of the 48 states at the time (87%).

Aside from this, federal income taxes were just a shift away from the previous way that the federal government raised money before the 16th amendment, which was primarily through tariffs. From a libertarian perspective, is there really much of a difference? Tariffs are regressive and come with all sorts of political issues that income taxes don't have.
