I absolutely agree. The ironic thing is that the US protects the oil going from the ME to China. Trump even said this the other day, maybe things will change?

Again: For it to be conspiracy, there must be violation of law. A "conspiracy theory" needs a law violated, at least in theory. Keeping or sharing secrets does not violate law -- unless the secrets are about violations of law.

Is this really difficult? Nixon had a conspiracy both to violate laws, and to cover up violating laws, making at least three violations. Trump's people probably conspired to violate laws against foreign influence on elections. Clinton didn't conspire to perjure, because it was just him.

I've never worked at Microsoft, but I have read that teams at Microsoft have been (historically, at least) very disjointed and uncooperative towards each other (No idea whether that's true, but the existence of Powershell in spite of cmd was given as an example)

Mostly untrue in Western Europe for more than 500 years[1] and very much untrue in North America, to an even greater extent, since after WWII especially, but also before. Relatively late marriage and forming a new household upon marriage has been the norm in Western Europe since the 1500s in the North Sea region. North America was different in having earlier marriage because of labour scarcity and land abundance but nuclear families rather than extended family households were the norm in every decade and century among European descended peoples and those who assimilate to their culture.

I've been thinking of setting up a super-tiny (about $15/year) VPS as a youtube-dl proxy for a while now. It's the only Google service that still remains valuable to me; I enjoy channels like Bad Obsession Motorsports and various indie musician channels, and Vimeo just doesn't have enough of that type of content, sadly. I know proxying through a VPS that I pay for doesn't 100% divorce me from Google's watchful eye, but it's enough abstraction that hopefully they don't get enough info to build a profile of the real me.

Wow thank you for this comment. I look forward to reading John Kay's "Other People's Money".

Are there any proposed models that could potentially replace the current consumerist / capitalist model that results in these monopolies or other effects such as maniacal focus on short term gains?

While a company is hot and innovative, growth comes from value creation. Then innovation slows, but the executives need to give shareholders growth, so it's extracted in any way possible such as making employees work more hours no increase in income, or buying out smaller innovative emerging competitors and either shelving their innovations or destroying them through staff attrition when integrating after acquisition (like being assimilated by the borg).

But Windows 3.xx ran on non-Microsoft versions of DOS. They tried to stop this with the release of 3.1 but ultimately failed. DR-DOS was a popular way to run Windows (although piracy was rampant, and many simply pirated MS DOS instead of buying the Cheaper DR-DOS).

That's a cop-out. A great deal of horrible shit that happens in our courts is entirely the output of judges and lawyers. (For instance, the courts who support themselves by repeatedly sending poor folks to jail, charging them for their stay, and then sending them back when they can't pay.) Our courts should do the right thing if the law allows them. Instead they do the right thing if the law forces them to do, but only sometimes, if some hardass journalist writes enough articles about their evil deeds. If the victims of this scheme had been mostly WASPs born and raised locally, the courts would have found a reason to seek justice. Instead the victims spoke the wrong language, ate the wrong food, and had skin the wrong color. Sickening.
>> You know that monarchies of the past were significantly more invasive than the contemporary liberal democracies, right?

"By 1775, the British government was consuming one-fifth of its citizens’ GDP, while New Englanders were only paying between 1 and 2 percent of their income in taxes."

https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/07/03/tea-taxes-and-the-revol...

The level of invasion is hard to equate given the centuries, but safe to say that pre-revolution Americans paid far far less in tax. And there weren't police officers like today. I'd say, for the common man in america, the pre-revolution monarchy was much less invasive than our government today.

What makes you think this? Can you give even ballpark numbers for how many tones of CO2 your #1/2/3 would save over ten years?

Compared to a visionary engineering team raising let’s say $100 million to push forward new methods of sequestration?

YC has specifically called for startups in this field. Startups like SKH are pushing to get sequestration under $100 per tonne — compared to US per capita average of 20 tones, of which 8.5 tones is considered “innate” just for living in the US...

So while the absolute maximum personal impact an individual can have is around 10 tones, cost effective sequestration is the path forward to pricing and taxing carbon.

Once we have a reasonable sequestration cost, we can charge everyone and everything for their own emissions and use that money to actually negate it.

At current rates it would be ~$3,000 per capita which is still politically untenable. But at $300 per capital it becomes trivial. Somewhere in the middle in there it becomes economically and politically possible to actually eliminate the entire carbon emissions of the US, without even having to ask anyone to change their footprint.

So the question is what’s more important to you? Moralistically preaching to everyone how they should be living their lives, or actually reaching zero net emissions?

For example, you don’t need to eliminate international travel in order to eliminate the carbon footprint of international travel.
Fair enough, that answers the question. Sorry about the ignorance; I was more wondering if there was some kind of encryption.
From the healthcare delivery standpoint there are so many rotten, inefficient and corrupt practices that many days it feels like you are delivering good care despite the system. Certainly not because of it. It's kafa-esque and there is zero incentive for your boss' boss' boss' boss' calling the shots to improve patient care.

Healthcare providers are also just as mystified as to where all the money goes, not the workers doing the direct patient care.
Well, each group of two could use their own hat. Or they could just write the numbers down instead of saying it. I dunno, the point is they don't have to say them out loud.

The fin de siecle HN is currently in is apparently some GenX midlife crisis phase where we're so mad about ecmascript that we vote up any rando retrocomputing article which gets posted. Like we have to remind ourselves that we loved this shit back in the day.

But I got all this knowledge from reading PC Magazine, Mac World, etc, but mostly from the tabloid trade weeklies PC Week, Computer World, Mac Week. This old PC/Mac stuff was never really properly put on the web. Yes, its hard to read nowadays in some viewer. But the ads are much more attractive.

(Just for the record, I like making stuff with ecmascript.)
Perhaps notably, Graeber blames the infiltration by finance folks of management tiers of non-finance companies, the the influence of the finance sector generally, for a good part of the 20th century expansion of his titular "Bullshit Jobs". I'm not sure I buy his timeline, exactly, but it's probably worth a more thorough investigation.

Incidentally, the rise of tech and trying to make everything measurable and data-entry-able—where the cost of doing so is low-visibility or even, to certain players, desirable, but the benefits are high-visibility—is another thing he blames.
yea, the fees are pretty high. but so are the fees on check cashing for the under banked.

I have been watching netflix on linux for the past couple of years using Chrome. Install. Just works.

Gaming is still very game dependent. Think of it like a console. Some "exclusives" just wont run.

If someone is using their computer to surf, write emails, watch netflix, alongside lite gaming, I find linux to be more enjoyable. I don't have to do any command line oriented stuff at all for general use. The initial install is also very simple. On a desktop :)

We will have to agree to disagree. I think it is more an issue of framing perspective than anything.
That sounds similar to the opening scene from series five of The Wire:

Your Washington Post article is misleading. They are conflating “SG&A” with “Marketing”.

Pfizer, for example, does spend more on “SG&A” than it does on “R&D” but marketing makes up just a small part of “SG&A”.

> Pfizer topped that list with $622.3 million in ad spending last year. Pfizer came in fourth on FierceBiotech's list of R&D budgets, with $7.9 billion. That means DTC ads were less than one-tenth the size of its R&D budget.

Moreover, look across any number of research industries be it Pharma, Tech, Industrial Automation, whatever, you will find SG&A as a rule of thumb tends to roughly equal R&D spending as a total share of expenses.

The 'One loop two arrays' example looks like premature optimisation to me. Going through the list twice is much easier to understand:

let truthFn = (x) => x > 10;
let truthyValues = exampleValues.filter(truthFn);
let falsyValues = exampleValues.filter((x) => !truthFn(x));

Western companies were so blind by the "possible" money to be made in China that they didn't care that the Chinese government forced them to partner with Chinese companies, and then the Western companies were forced to hand over their technology to their Chinese partners. The Western companies did worry that every Chinese company is partially owned by the Chinese government, so the Chinese partner handed over all the technology and IP to the Chinese government and the Chinese government shared that IP and technology with any Chinese company that could benefit.

Now all the hubris is coming home to roost.
The flame graphs, you mean?

Chromium and Google Chrome has those in their dev tools too, and allow you to create graphs of your own. You output trace info in that format and it will give you interactive flame graphs. Not just for web dev mind you — could be anything you can imagine.

Here is a random blog post explaining how to use it if you are interested: https://aras-p.info/blog/2017/01/23/Chrome-Tracing-as-Profil...

And here is a video showing a guy in the demoscene making use of the visualization for tracing what is going on in his code while working on making a piece of software multithreaded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCICjD4J0nA&t=12m15s

Notice also that these flame graphs don’t have to correspond to time spent in a function. You label it yourself, meaning that you are actually limited only by your own imagination. For example, I seem to remember that in the video above Ferris used it somewhat differently than just looking at time spent in each function call.
This is part of the motivation for doing browserless.io for me (though I’m fascinated, still, by the tech and product).

I’ll say that the 0-hour thing is pretty impossible, though you’ll likely not work near 40 hours ever unless you want to. The biggest takeaway I’ve found is that, aside from gaining time, gaining freedom of choice is very liberating. You’ll feel the consequences as well, which I’ve enjoyed overall (even the tedious stuff can pay out in dividends).

It’s definitely worth pursuing, but does come front-loaded with work and a lot of time spent
