It sounds like you're starting from an assumption that thoughts are somehow inherently different from responses. But we don't actually know if they are. Nothing that we've ever learned about how brains work has ever shown that choices, really all thoughts, are anything other than automatic. Our behaviors are tremendously complex, but that doesn't demonstrate that we have free will.

So the question shouldn't be whether we can adapt in ways that plants can't but rather what degree of adaptability feels sufficiently thoughtful to our meat computers.
Yeah. The Downloads directory inevitably accumulates sensitive data over time, especially lacking automatic cleanup/expiration of files. For this reason alone, Firefox should follow the Chromium/Edge policy.

Running Firefox via snapcraft, I've come to realize that desktop Linux systems keep moving the problem around without fully solving it (though I'm quite grateful for the real security benefits of snaps).

Traditional users/permissions are ineffective because all your important data is readable by your ostensibly unprivileged user.

Then SELinux/AppArmor enforcement comes along, but it's of limited effectiveness because you end up with free-for-alls (for convenience's sake) like ~/Downloads.

Within the paradigm of the neoclassical synthesis [1], economic rent exists only in the short term, and as such creating value for shareholders by and large coincides with adding value to the economy.

Unfortunately, reality is a bit more complex than that.

However, economists have made big progress coming to grips with that complexity, and many proponents of small government and laissez-faire are actually acolytes of what James Kwack calls "Economism" [2], an adherence to Economics 101 that's simultaneously dogmatic, hugely selective, and pro business & anti regulation.

"Real" economists (including the frequently maligned "The Economist" magazine) are quite in favour of sensible regulation, government intervention, and progressive policies, more so than corporate lackeys and the Republican caricature of conservatism.

Lastly, that shareholder value maximisation should be the only goal of companies is a sensible result, yes, but only for a specific and narrow theoretical question (the principal-agent problem, embedded in a neoclassical framework). What the actual goal of actual corporations in the real world should be is up to us (subject to real world constraints, obviously).

On the Toyota Prius (2016-) you can have the lane departure warning on, while turning off the steering assist.

The steering assist was one of the first things I turned off on it, otherwise it might activate literally every time I drive home. There's also construction all over the place, so... yeah.

I pity someone stepping into one of these cars for the first time with this feature enabled.
LA also has some peculiar problems around parking: http://seliger.com/2017/08/30/l-digs-hole-slowly-economics-f....

We haven't done an official HN launch, but Render was built to solve the cost and inflexibility issues with Heroku. I'm the founder and always happy to answer questions.
I drive 2017 Renault Talisman, which is basically the same as 2019 model (there was no facelift in the meantime).

I really don't understand where some of the complaints from the article come from.
The "another stick" to control audio is pretty nice. I find especially volume control pretty natural. Contrary to article it does allow switching tracks/radio stations.
I don't mind the steering wheel controls. I don't use cruise control that much, so left side is mostly unused, but I often use right side). I drove 2004 Mazda 6 before this car, where I had volume control on the steering wheel and I do not find Renault's layout interior.

The R-Link infotainment system is far from perfect. Menus are quite confusing to me. I don't find it slow though, but I guess the main point is that I do not use it much. I sometimes change something in the settings (usually when stopped), but more often I just start Android Auto and use that.
I don't remember if the setup visible in photo in the article is the default, but there is a hidden option in Android Auto which allows it to take much more of the screen space than shown by author. It's kinda like square display then?
I find using touchscreen then tolerable (but I do not advise to do it while driving). My son selects own music without problems though.
One thing missing from the article is that the main infotainment system and Android Auto can be controlled via the knob/wheel controller visible in the photos. It supports rotating, 4 wheel directional action and press. The operations I perform the most while driving (that is controlling music via Spotify) are really quite comfortable when using this controller.
Note that, unlike some other cars, there are two physical dials for setting climate control temperature. These I do use and can't imagine having to use touch screen for that (that eliminated for example Peugeot 308 when we were shopping for car)

But how I (180cm height) or my wife (163cm height) accidentally press the cruise control/speed limit button? I have no idea.
I have automatic gearbox, but quite often (when stopped and, obviously, when changing gears) I drive with one hand on the stick and elbow resting on the the elbow-rest and I can't imagine how that switch could be pressed. Maybe if someone is really short and the seat is in very forward position? Certainly not in position as shown in photo. Also never heard such complaint from other Talisman owners.
Next step: programatically determine which state has more "regulation" based on text analysis.
In the twin experiment, the observer sees his twin age slower, so it _does_ have a remote effect. From the perspective of the object falling into the black hole, the local conditions do not change, time is progressing normally etc.

Not exactly what you want, but Plexamp[1] has a "random album" mode, where it plays randomly selected albums. I really like this feature, as I find it's a good balance between random and coherence.

Before anyone screams, yes it's an Electron-based app but it's fairly lightweight as far as those go.

Compatible with spec and previously a feature. I agree that it should be patched but Chrome's policy has historically made local web development and testing a pain in the ass because now you have to configure a web server correctly and work around Chrome's broken cache-control policy (have fun ctrl-f5'ing all the time or opening devtools to disable cache, which deoptimizes your JS)

I struggled with this for years and opened multiple bugs about it. If you're trying to release software to end-users that requires them to configure a whole damn web server you get really tired of it.

Disabling content loading from file:// is one solution, but I feel like the 'this was loaded from the internet' flag already used for downloaded EXEs and DLLs is a perfectly reasonable alternative that would work just as well without breaking things for local development. (To be clear, you don't offer the option to bypass that, since it would only be a security vulnerability)

That second one has some great examples. They're literally talking about editing the search results for Treyvon Martin and George Zimmerman for instance.

It's not a big thing, and obviously it's a matter of taste, but I find it improves readability slightly. It's most notable if I'm doing work based on literature with standard notations (e.g., α₀ instead of alpha_0), but it can also be really nice to help keep track of different states of the same value, e.g., loc₀ vs. locᵢ and locₖ inside loop(s) or with staggered indexing computations.

The trees were acacias (there may be other species that do this, I don't know) and the pheromone was ethylene, which is a very simple gas that's used in development of other things in plants, famously like fruit ripening but likely more (can't remember, prob bud development).

I dunno. Where do you draw the line? HTH anyway.
The simplest system I know to mask destination IP is an anonymizing mixnet. Tor is a good approximation: delegate your privacy to a system design. A CDN, or what Google’s doing with signed exchanges, is a bad approximation: delegate your privacy to an entity. For certain very specific goals, Psiphon is an intermediate solution.

Alternatively, “it doesn’t work.” As Colm says elsewhere, the placement of TLS in the stack isn’t compatible with privacy goals. There’s a big project to nudge the current privacy-ignoring design of the Internet into a privacy-respecting design, while continuously maintaining compatibility and providing performance incentives to bring the mega corps along.

The engineers pushing that are supremely skilled and passionately motivated. If anyone can do it, they can. I am not optimistic, mostly because I expect the mass of less-skilled but equally-passionate consumers of that technology to latch on to intermediate solutions—like the recent Firefox-CF DoH experiment—and lock them in.
The problem is that governments are made of people too, with the same sort of self interest as everybody else.

IMO, the approach taken by Chrome and other browsers is over restrictive, basically killing off the file:// protocol. Already now it's impossible to load wasm files in the file:// protocol in Chrome, and I think this also had implications on using wasm in electon.

Ultimately, file:// is a great, cloud free method of having web pages and applications and it should stay that way instead of forcing everything to be networked and reliant on third party computers or domain names.

There are so many reports, documents, etc that live as non-networked html files. E.g. rust documentation (cargo doc --open) is generated as html files on-disk and then just displayed without the need for a webserver. Starting a localhost webserver is in fact less secure than file because now every user on the computer has access instead of just the users with read-access to the files. This has thankfully been fixed in Chrome OS though.

Responsive web apps are not the solution as they still need "seeding" via the network. Maybe some kind of standardized format where you have a glorified zip file with some metadata and when you double click it, it opens in the web browser which starts a web server in the background that runs a specially designated js in that zip file and which can accept usual fetch requests and has read access to the entire zip file. The browser's "UI" would then communicate with the server via well-known protocols.
IANAL, but this is covered in the article:

In Wednesday’s opinion, Circuit Judge Jane Richards Roth, writing for a 2-1 majority of a three-judge panel, said Amazon may be liable in part because its business model “enables third-party vendors to conceal themselves from the customer, leaving customers injured by defective products with no direct recourse to the third-party vendor.”

For context, concealment is bad here because co-mingling means Amazon doesn't even know which vendor shipped the defective product (and as mentioned in past posts on HN, they also blame the wrong vendor sometimes.) The fact that in this case the bad actor up and vanished is just unacceptable.
I think oconnor663 would agree that it is insane. I believe the argument is that YouTube needs to protect itself because someone could insinuate that they are complicit in a crime simply because someone was trained in the criminal act via YouTube video.

I think the counter-argument is that no policy will protect YouTube from these types of arguments. If some politician wants to demonize YouTube via hyperbolic argument, then they will find a way. These types of disputes rarely use facts.

YouTube should stick to Free Speech and accept that haters are going to hate. To me this just demonstrates that the YouTube leadership has no backbone.

Yes, and it was support by the Democratic President, the resulting alienation of Southern racists from the Democratic Party, and the exploitation of that alienation by the Republican Party that were key factors in the political realignment that moved the US from the post-New Deal Fifth Party System to the modern Sixth Party System.

>It may turn out the absolutists had a point.

Of course they have a point. It just takes getting burned a few times before people learn why “you do you even when I don’t like you” is an important philosophy.

We become accustomed to restrictions when they’re not against us. The MPAA is a censorship cartel. But most people couldn’t be bothered to give a shit and those that do are happy for it. Who cares if movies forcefeed sexual negativity as long as it means little Timmy will never see tits?

> Did anyone understand the message the article wanted to communicate aside from the title? What was it? Is it a valid message based on the sources it linked?

The phenomenon:

"in recent years, stock valuations have increased faster than either profits or the economy itself"

The explanation:

"They found that redistribution from workers to shareholders accounted for 54% of increased stock wealth. Falling interest rates, rising investor appetites for risk and economic growth comprised the remaining 46%."

Additional information/context:

"But their finding is consistent with evidence by economists Loukas Karabarbounis and Brent Neiman showing that labor’s share of income has declined all over the world. It’s also consistent with work by economist Simcha Barkai, who found that business profits have increased much faster than the value of the capital they own."

The previous theory:

"But this leaves the question of how shareholders have managed to extract increasing rent from the economy. In a healthy economy, competition should get rid of rents, because new companies will enter the market and vie for a slice of that pie, offering lower prices and higher wages until the rents mostly disappear."

Evidence that previous theory is wrong:

"But Gutiérrez and Philippon estimate that increasing returns to scale aren’t correlated with the breakdown of the relationship between Q and new business entry, casting doubt on this explanation. Instead, the authors point the finger at increasing regulation. They found that the higher the volume of new regulation in an industry -- measured by analyzing the text of the Code of Federal Regulation -- the less new entry is driven by high Q. "

To summarize, stock valuations have increased. Several studies support the idea this is due to an increase in the proportion of profits going towards shareholders instead of laborers. Previously people might have thought that in a free market new competition would appear which prevents this from happening but other studies suggest this isn't happening because of increasing regulation, possibly due to increased lobbying.
Synonymous != Correlated.

If you're saying they're synonymous, then it doesn't make sense to ask whether you can have one without the other.

So ask yourself, could you imagine something being complex but not conscious, or conscious but not complex? If so, then they're not synonymous and you have something interesting to talk about.
It's not a shame, the stock market averages 8-10% returns a year. It's a huge source of wealth for people.
