If construction takes longer, costs increase. This is indisputable.

Imagine you buy a piece of land for $100,000 with the intention of developing it. Until the property is developed and sold, you have numerous carrying costs (taxes, insurance, debt payments, etc.). In California, your annual carrying costs may easily be $8,000-$10,000 per $100,000.

If it takes you one year to develop the property, you need to sell the property for $108,000 just to cover the carrying costs (i.e. this doesn't account for the actual construction costs or selling costs). If it takes you two years to develop the property, you need to sell the property for $116,000 just to cover the carrying costs.

Keep in mind, the time to develop isn't idle time where the developer incurs only carrying costs. It's endless drafts, consultations, and meetings. It requires actual money to be paid not only to the city, county, and state, but to architects and planners and contractors to comply with increasingly byzantine and mercurial requirements. The longer this goes on, the more money a developer has to spend.

The longer a developer is forced to carry the property, the more they need to charge to recoup their investment. Since no one is going to develop property without anticipated profit, this means prices necessarily rise.

So youre running an entire Linux environment to turn a relay/solenoid on and off?

Now imagine you’re a kid who had the idea to water your garden with a computer. On an arduino, you’d write about 20 lines of code.

On a PI...I mean, how do you even get a computer program to run at boot? What’s a computer program? Okay I have a .img file now what? Python? But some people say I should use $somethingelse. Okay I need another monitor to connect to it? Open up my router and find a DHCP entry so I can SSH into it? What do ANY of those words mean?

“Oh well I’ll get to it someday.”

Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of raspberry pis in many different projects, and in fact I’d make a strong wager that I have deployed more raspi projects than most people who consider themselves huge raspi fans. For SOME things there isn’t a substitute. For most things they’re extremely discouraging.

> Yes, lack of RAM

So how about using a maximal linear feedback shift register of smallest size greater than the number of songs, skipping entries that are beyond the end of the list?

Either keep the polynomials[1] in a small list, or implement them as separate functions, invoking the one you need via a function pointer. Both approaches take just a wee bit of extra FLASH/ROM, and just a few bytes of RAM.

...if there is significant demand. Additionally faster construction can also imply higher costs (more workers needed for single projects to meet deadline, etc).
> It's okay to place it here.

Not if you can activate it accidentally by resting your arm.

What other controls can you accidentally activate in such a manner? The closest I can think is the e-brake pedals on the floor but even then you have to draw your foot pretty far back.
I think I misunderstood your original comment. I heard "paying for one's own expenses plus for those who can't afford it" (which is same in the US and the EU), where it seems you mean "paying from taxes plus out of pocket".

My uninformed impression is that in the US one does not pay proportionately the same amount of taxes towards healthcare (maybe you have citations to the contrary?).

I would (only from experience and anecdotes) guess that you're right about it costing double, however.
If we are going to measure their safety are we going to also expect them to obey all traffic laws to the letter? I am curious how speeding is going to be addressed. Will keeping in sync with traffic be acceptable or do we say, thou shall not exceed the limit for any reason? Because as soon as you let them break the law, logical reason or not, they have one transgression against them in case of an accident. Then the barn door is wide open.

I still think marketing it as a safety issue was the wrong approach this early in their development. Say "safety" and "cars" in the same sentence and people think of seat belts, air bags, and anti-lock brakes. All things to protect you from an accident on unpredictable situation.

> Yes, the Democrat party resisted the outcome of the civil war for decades

Large parts of the Democratic Party did so for about a full century, until the parties flipped positions on race with Johnson’s support of the Civil Rights Act of 1965 and the subsequent Republican Southern Strategy to exploit the disaffection of (mostly Southern, hence the name) racists that resulted from Johnson's move. The same group still resists the results of the Civil War, but now they are key part of the Republican base rather than the Democratic base, which is why the South is now a Republican stronghold rather than a Democratic one, why the Democrats that continued in Congress from that time over the next several decades were often either repudiating past positions or switching to the Republican Party, why the KKK has voiced it's support for Trump, etc.

> There has been a heck of a fight, but thankfully, both parties have moved past that

No, they realigned and switched sides (or the factions active in the fight switched parties, to look at it a different way.) They didn't move past it at all: the same fight is still happening.
>One of the tools is a re-write of history so that somehow those institutions that opposed war are now blamed for it. And the hawkish right who actually did start the war is falsely portrayed as opposing it.

I've been noticing more frequent references to WMDs lately, which is meant to imply that people who follow the mainstream media are being duped again. The issue with this narrative is that they weren't really duped the first time. Iraq was the most widely protested war internationally in modern history. The whole comparison between modern news events and WMDs is just grasping at straws.

There is no fundamental reason, the tricky part is (as always) cost and expertise.

For all the issues in medical device engineering, the bar is higher than most people (particularly in software industry) have worked in. Obviously there are other areas too (e.g. aerospace), with similar or higher bars.

Your project will benefit by finding people with experience in hazard analysis and risk mitigation, testing, SDLC management etc. They either have to be motivated to do this on their own or payed, or a mix. Hopefully you'll find people familiar with ISO13489, IEC60601, IEC62304, etc. - not because you'll want to audit to these standards, but because the people will also be familiar with what's needed.

Basically, to have the quality where you want it to be, you need to do the work. The flexibility of such a system is great, but in terms of verification and validation, the amount of work could become exponential with the configurabilty - so you are probably going to want to concentrate on some specific configurations pretty rigorously and encourage them for "real" use.
This article is what is wrong with bsd/linux. You have to write an article about all the things you did to get your desktop to just work like any normal desktop works out of the box.

As far as I can tell, a slippery slope is nothing more than a projection based on current and past data. I think it’s foolish to cast out such projection for the mere reason that they are projections. Rather, we ought to debate the quality of the data and model feeding the projection.

> 1. I want it to play in a truly random fashion, with replacement (same song twice in a row is possible).

Anyone outside of HN would interpret that as broken random. So we can throw it out.

> 2. I want it to play in a truly random fashion, without replacement (each song is removed from the list once played).

Nope, not good enough for non-specialist randomness.

> 3. I want it to "seem" random (don't play too many songs by the same artist in a row).

Bingo. It should definitely seem random. Because the string "seem random" equals "random" for someone who isn't a technical expert in randomness.

> 4. I want it to be random, but predictable (same "random" ordering if I start the playlist again).

Normies don't care about random seeds for pseudorandom number generators, so nope.

That's a bonus feature that can be implemented with a slider.

Same as above

Dictating prices is better done from a government panel than a corporate board. Medicare sometimes sets payouts below "cost", but sometimes costs are out of control. The article below touches on this and goes through some data, and concludes that some segments of over-cost hospitals should maybe come down in price, while also suggesting that primary care physicians are underpaid via Medicare. Regardless of the over/under, that's a better discussion to have in the open publically, than behind closed negotiating doors - leading to systemic over costs (comparing between the US and other nations).

I think you're both right. It's very dilute, but even so it's many orders of magnitude bigger than the counter-examples you give, and even given the dubious content you have to wade through, the absolute volume of high quality info you can find there is unprecedented. Also it's much lower friction to access (well Wikipedia is about the same, but all the others are gated to varying degrees). So I would contend that YT is uniquely significant as a repository of educational material.

That all being said, I agree with your original point - how they moderate/censor that content is and always has been solely YT's prerogative.

There is a cycle in a 'free' economy that runs in the long term, typically over decades. That cycle is in many senses, related to technical developments: Something emerges that fundamentally changes the way we live and work (steam power, electricity, gasoline engines, mainframe computers, mini-computers, micro-computers, smart phones, ...).

At each emergence, new enterprises are born and start an arc of relevance. Amplitudes and periods vary greatly, but companies like Sears & Roebuck have their days of high growth, maximum employment, then stagnation and decline as successor WalMart transpires through its cycle and takes the reins for a while.

These companies pay varying amount of taxes, but can't get away from paying wages. Consider how many families are supported by MacDonald's or Bank of America. They contribute to society by employing people and enabling them to pay income taxes much more than their employers pay through corporate tax payments.

Society gets into trouble when a pair of declining and ascending firms create a discontinuity for employees. If an employee of WalMart loses their position because WalMart has lost market share to Amazon, that employee is not likely able to move their employment to Amazon. Distribution centers are not in the same places as WalMart retail stores, and, the skills they need are not the same. Both are selling the same items to the same customers, but due to the different business models, the employees of one do not map onto the needs of the other and you have a discontinuity.

On the one hand, Amazon is more efficient than WalMart and delivers more goods dollars for the same wage dollar (revenue per employee). So fewer workers are needed and there will be workers left unemployed or underemployed during the transition. On the other hand, Amazon should, over all, be therefore able to charge lower prices, benefiting all consumers.

My point is that getting to the bottom of the question about how much and what type of value an enterprise delivers to society is a deeply complex question. Bloomberg's opinion seems superficial.

Random has a lot of meanings, and you are picking a very specific one. It doesn't have to be uniformly distributed, for example, but relevant here is I don't think there's a problem describing a random shuffle as "random". It is playing a list in a random order.
Sorry I've tried to reread your comment several times but I don't understand the point you're making.

Why should people be okay with unlimited expenditures by corporations and special interest groups?

Having your government's influence be heavily skewed towards companies or even any non inclusive group of individuals seems like a huge problem. I understand that there is a balance to be struck but the current one seems way off to me.

> Then thrown in all the PACs they have friends and family in, all of which are protected by wonderfully named laws to protect the integrity of elections but really do only two things, protect incumbents and provide a legal means to make their friends and families rich.

> Reminds me back in the day using a file sharing/community program called Caraccho (for Mac) - similar to Hotline. Often people would queue up on someone's server (running of their desktop computer) to download a file since the server admin could set how many concurrent downloads from all users were allowed. Folks would send messages to people saying that if they hit Command-Q it makes the client run in "quick mode" which will speed up their download. Of course some folks would fall for this and you'd see their name drop off the server, moving everyone up 1 spot in the queue. Super effective for users that had not setup an avatar indicating they were new to the system and would fall for anything once.

This was also common on IRC to get script kiddies to kick themselves.
This is a particularly awkward turn for Vladimir Putin as it evokes memories of the Kursk submarine disaster that took place early in his political career. It caused acute embarrassment and a rare loss of self-control as Putin had to make humiliating admissions about the poor state of Russian military readiness. Putin is a brilliant strategist but not a gregarious leader, so this incident may have broader repercussions.

$500 is still less than the one-time price of Photoshop back when it was sold in boxes. Photoshop is well worth $120/year if you're able to use a big enough fraction of its power.

One way to look at it, then, is that you don't use enough of what Photoshop can do to be worth it, so you can stick with whatever simpler tool you prefer and save the money. Another option, though, is to realize that there's a lot of power there to be had, and it's worth spending the time to learn to harness it.

I put it that way because I keep coming across people who talk about their favorite image editor as "just as good as Photoshop" for their purposes while they clearly have no idea what all Photoshop can do. Here's a tutorial I did for Photoshop once that probably can be done only in Photoshop:

https://photo.stackexchange.com/a/57233/4141

Now, I don't expect you to need to retexture pictures of couches, but I'll bet if you read through that tutorial, you'll be surprised that such things even could be done in off-the-shelf software. Then realize that I'm not even a full-time professional in graphical arts. If I can pull off such tricks, what can a real expert do with it?

By the way, Lightroom was another $120 or so for the initial license when it was last sold in boxes.

Then there's all the upgrades, which you also now get as part of the subscription.

Your $50 just isn't apples-to-apples.

> I don't think UIKit is that much better than e.g. Flutter in the way that AppKit is many times better than Electron

Until you want to use iOS' built-in accessibility features, and you are disappointed to see that third party apps needlessly reimplemented widgets and didn't do the extra work to make them accessible.

Sadly, accessibility is always seen as an optional extra, not a fundamental feature. It's been a fundamental feature of AppKit and UIKit since time immemorial.

When some of these apps make it to macOS via Project Catalyst, this issue might become exacerbated to some extent.
The KKK is a footnote in history at this time. The last KKK member of congress was a Democrat. Obama said the eulogy at his funeral, and Hilary Clinton said he was "a friend and mentor".

The Civil Rights Act had bipartisan support, but it had been filibustered for years by Democrats. In fact, the modern Senate is based on cloture, which was finally used to break the decades long delay.

Only six Senate Republicans voted against the bill in 1964, while 21 Senate Democrats opposed it. It passed by an overall vote of 73-27. In the House, 96 Democrats and 34 Republicans voted against the Civil Rights Act, passing with an overall 290-130 vote
