People's beliefs about their responsibility and efficacy do have real impacts on their performance.
Research has shown that whether or not someone's will power is limited is largely determined by whether or not they think it is.

Basically, if you think will power is a limited resource, people will use that as an excuse to give up.

One of my fellow graduate students failed 2 out of 3 classes last semester. He's repeated that will power is finite several times, ignoring me when I mention research suggesting otherwise. It's just too convenient of an excuse for him to say it was beyond his control, he had no choice but to play board games all day instead of studying and doing homework.

It takes time for regulators to catch-up with the technology but there are solutions.
It's a bit different, since there actually is a fall-off with age in sports. A 45 year old basketball player is almost definitely more injured and less capable than a 20-year old. In most sports, you get better for the first 5-10 years being a pro and then it's all downhill from there.

Though, like tech, your trajectory at that point is usually management, analysis, or teaching.

I'm actually more concerned about lightning strikes hitting the antenna, frying the Pi, traveling down the Ethernet cable and frying my router. I'm still a ham in training but I've been told that it's best practice to disconnect the antenna and isolate it from your setup. Some hams as far as placing their connectors in glass jars.

I don't want to use a relay on the antenna cable because 1) it'll pick up RF interference, and 2) if a direct strike hits it, there'll be enough energy to jump the gap in the relay anyways.

I might figure out a more permanent solid-state solution in the future though. Like I said, still learning :)

> How long sighted are we talking here?

As long as it takes to get the monopoly.

This can't be rushed. Their competition is from i.e. Walmart. These competitors are big and a single major event isn't going to take them down. It requires a series of major events for a company of that size to fall out of serious competition. But it does happen: look at Sears. It took almost three decades, starting with a pricing scandal in 1992 to declaring bankruptcy in 2018, with many mis-steps along the way, but they did eventually fall.

> I don't really see how they could maintain a monopoly and a margin at the same time. If they had actual profit margins then other companies would compete with them.

By that logic, monopolies can't be profitable, but they clearly are profitable, so your logic must be faulty.

Once a company reaches a certain scale, it becomes very difficult to start a competing company for a bunch of reasons:

1. First to market advantage: name recognition. Amazon is a household name. A new company isn't. A new company could overcome this with marketing, but marketing costs money, and then they have to pass that cost on to consumers, and Amazon will win on price.

2. First to market advantage: pre-existing infrastructure. Amazon has warehouses everywhere, so they can deliver to most places quickly. In places like NYC or SF they can deliver something from a few miles away, so they can deliver it on the same day. They have already spent this money, so they can provide this speed at a lower cost. A new company could overcome this by building out their own infrastructure, but this costs money which they have to pass on to consumers, and again Amazon wins on price.

3. Efficiencies of scale: Amazon is already huge. If it costs them $10 to write a line of code or lay a brick, that cost is amortized across millions of purchases that occur each day. A new company has to write the same line of code and lay the same brick to provide the same feature or distribution center, but that cost is amortized across only a few hundred purchases a day when they're new.

There are more reasons, but basically, Amazon is well past the point where new companies could pop up and reasonably compete with them based on profit margins alone. They still have competition, but it's from the likes of Walmart--other giant companies that already have some of the same advantages Amazon does. It would be possible for a newcomer to compete, but it would require an extraordinary innovation which is highly unlikely.

> The reason they look like a monopoly at the moment is because they have no margins. If they change that, competition will spring up like mushrooms.

They don't look like a monopoly because they aren't yet. They have major competition with, for example, Walmart.
Being a monopoly justifies action, hence people who want action against popular companies will try to rationalize it being a monopoly as a premise for their disdain.

This monopoly/monopsony misclassification is seemingly a bi-weekly occurrence on HN with regards to FAANG companies. Don't get me wrong, there are reasons to criticize these tech companies, but calling them monopolies in markets they are not is not the right way to do it.

In that case, they tried to prod the PP representatives into joking, and then edited down those jokes to look like serious statements. The idea was to present a false image in which PP is making a fortune out of body parts, instead of the reality, which is that they will give fetuses for research, but receive nominal compensation for the cost of doing so.
The jump from statistical behavior to personal advice is kind of odd. I'm not saying it's bad advice but we're talking average behavior of population - the average person obviously isn't going to hear this personal advice.

I mean, both women and men suffer from relationship problems but men certainly commit suicide more. Discovering why that is, in a non-judgemental fashion, seems like a useful inquiry.
There are a few places in and near Tidewater where this dialect is at least as common as it is on Ocracoke. There are even many pockets of it (and very similar dialects) inland as far as the Blue Ridge if you visit the small towns, know where to look, and figure out where the older generation comes to drink coffee and jaw in the morning.

I lived in Charlottesville for five years, and the native dialects of Virginia fascinated me. I grew up in Arkansas and to my ears, residents of the Shenandoah Valley from West Virginia to Tennessee almost don't have an accent at all. Twenty miles east of there in the rural areas, and it's an entirely different sound - almost Bostonian in some ways. Further east, and you start hearing a hint of the aristocratic Southern accent (think "Rhett Butler"), especially between Goochland and the Rappahannock. Keep going and it fades into what the article calls "Hoi Toid".

I haven't built it yet, but I want to buy some clickable rotary encoders, some knobs and build a light switch for my smart lights.

A knob you can click to turn the lights on or off, and turn to control the brightness.

A knob you can click to toggle between "natural light" and "color", and turn to control either the warmth or the hue.

Not sure if I need a whole Pi for this or if I should attempt it with something more bare-bones, but that's the project I have in mind.

You're right that people only notice the things that don't work well, but I think it's a lot more than going to the DMV and taxes. Road construction that cones-off 2 lanes out of 3 for 40 miles and 6 months while there's about a week of actual construction. Tollway systems that forbid you from knowing what toll you missed or how much you owe until after the "late payment" period. Nepotism and other kinds of government corruption. Extortionist property assessment practices. The broken/unusable/inaccurate state of most government websites. Insane turnaround times for construction permits. Pointless building restrictions. High fees for almost every interaction. Extortionist traffic violation practices. Terrible appeals processes. Abusive, rude bureaucrats. Broken or delapidated infrastructure. These are experiences I've had or observed in the last few years.

I don't have these experiences when I deal with the private sector, and those dealings are also quite a lot cheaper than with the public sector.

This isn't to say that privatization is the answer or the only answer; I've had really good experiences with the governments of other countries and even in the US, value varies across agencies.

I've been happy for a year or two (not even sure, now that I think about it...) with two Pi3s running openElec. Both run over wired ethernet to SMB media server. I'm generally stingy with my storage, so I usually opt for the 1080p file sizes. I don't know how well or if it can handle 4K.
Because at a gas station you spend around 5 minutes and you don't have to go as often as with an electric cars that will have less autonomy and you will have to spend more time charging. I imagine you would have to go more often to the mall (so consuming extra energy,spend time in traffic, and you may be taxed by the time you keep the charger occupied.

it may work for some people, but AFAIK the traffic at a mall is higher on certain days and hours so you may not find a charger, then what do you do if you are on low?
Well we know how self regulation worked for Boeing. Now I could see software that registers less emissions than they actually produce and we are back to square one.
We tried writing OpenAPI docs to implement a contract-first development workflow, with the idea that backend & frontend/mobile engineers would agree on the API interface by discussing OpenAPI changes in a pull request, and only then start implementing it (on the backend side) and using it (on the client side).

This didn't pan out well, because it turns out OpenAPI isn't very easy to read, especially when you're reviewing a diff in a pull request. We didn't get the engagement we were looking for in pull requests.

We've since invested in building a simpler, human-friendly API description language based on TypeScript, which exports to OpenAPI 3. It's still early, but we've got a lot of positive feedback and quick adoption across the company (50 engineers).

This is further proof that everyone was doing it.

There are so many valuable lessons to takeaway from this, but weirdly for me, it's to never depend on innovation. Especially specific innovation.

It's important to remember that everyone a decade ago was riding high about the potential for diesel. Consumers, car producers, and regulators. And everyone was making promises about how good diesel was going to get - based on the expectation that you can just dump resources into a certain technology and get innovation, magically and predictably. But it feels like everyone just hit the innate limitation of the resource and tried to pretend it didn't exist.

> through Baltic banks, including at least one in Lithuania

Just to clarify: The Russian Laundromat mostly relied on the banks from Latvia and Estonia[1], the two EU countries with the largest Russian population. The only banks which participated in the scheme from Lithuania – Danske and Nordea – were actually Scandinavian, and have either left the country (Danske), or merged with others (Nordea) afterwards.

Do you climb mountains? It's hard to explain the motivation if you don't do it yourself. Most people I know who have done big climbs are not trying to impress their kin. George Mallory answered the question why with "Because it's there." That's still about the best answer.

But I'm not a kernel dev, so the maintenance could be easier.

I've got a RPi 2 running PiHole and a SAMBA server for a bit of in-home file-swapping convenience. ("Just throw it on the server and I'll pull it from there!")

Currently my problem is that samba will fail to write files greater than around 100+ MB uploaded to the server. (Writing to a USB drive). It still handles multi-gigabyte downloads ok.

I've been able to work around it with SFTP uploading, so it's just a minor annoyance, but I wish I knew what was going on.

That’s interesting. As far as I know, China has the similar feature. Why do you still include China in this paper without any pilot testing. Or do you already presumed some opinion and then just gladly accepted the result since it proved your stereotype on Chinese people?
You can't even trust 60 minutes to tell you how long their show is; it's 45 minutes at best!

Seriously though, I honestly don't get why that show is so popular. Maybe decades ago it was the best thing on TV, but that's damning with faint praise. It's such a short format they never cover anything beyond the surface details of an issue. It gives people the sensation of being informed without actually having to do the hard legwork being informed actually requires. And of course, anything shorter is almost certainly even worse; video is generally a problematic format that lends itself to surface level details chosen to not confuse the lowest common denominator.
Wiki states (about the ACORN incident, which I guess is what you mean)

The videos were heavily edited. The sequence of some conversations was changed. Some workers seemed concerned for Giles, one advising her to get legal help. In two cities, ACORN workers called the police. But the most damning words match the transcripts and the audio, and do not seem out of context

This seems to be about a (possibly over)aggressive sting operation. The current Veritas stuff isn't a sting, it's all leaks from insiders who are clearly very concerned about what's happening. I don't see how Veritas/O'Keefe could edit these things deceptively, as they'd only be provided with what the leaker wanted them to see anyway. Moreover the leakers are probably all Google shareholders or at least have no incentive to damage their own employer beyond taking the moral high ground.

So - this seems unlikely to be an issue here. Especially as, just like before, the words being spoken are damning and very clear. It's hard to imagine what sort of context might mitigate them beyond something like "this particular executive isn't actually very important" ... but that context would have no real impact if it wasn't backed by actions, like firing.

To put it bluntly, Veritas has a covert video of a Google exec who might or might not be senior, but who seems to at least be well informed. She says:

"We're also training our algorithms, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?"

"People who voted for the current president do not agree with our definition of fairness"

"Certainly on top of my old organisation, Trust and Safety, top of mind, they've been working on it since 2016, to make sure we're ready for 2020"

They also have a screenshot of a document saying, "If a representation is factually accurate, can it still be algorithmic unfairness? Yes." and then goes on to say that an image query for CEOs shouldn't show primarily men because even though that's accurate, it might "reinforce harmful stereotypes".

Stuff coming out of these leaks isn't really news though, in the sense that it aligns perfectly with all the other leaks that have been happening and also some of their research publications. So there's little reason to doubt anything here - it's all entirely consistent.

It's incredibly sad how an organisation that was once so committed to simply giving people the most relevant and accurate answers has gone full blown Machiavelli; they've been utterly corrupted by internal social justice activists who share none of those original values. I worked there for many years and it's a crying shame what has happened there since 2016. It looks from the outside like they've collectively lost their minds. And taking a corporate position of systematically manipulating their own userbase at scale, in order to control elections, is not only stunningly dystopian but also stunningly bad strategy.
