If I'm not mistaken a subset of these protests are in reaction to Amazon allegedly working with ICE.

I did a quick ctrl-f and don't see anyone else talking about this in here. How does HN feel about it?

Personally it's just another reason to keep my distance from Amazon, although I will still randomly yell out Jeff Bezos' name because I find it funny.

I think the idea is that the system is never intended to be depressurized once it's pressurized, so you don't need a check valve, you just need something to prevent backflow before the system is pressurized.

suggestion for you. "Maths - A Student Survival Guide" by Jenny Olive: https://www.amazon.com/Maths-Students-Survival-Self-Help-Eng.... She basically starts out with the simplest algebra (fractions) and gradually works up to topics in 1st semester Calculus. And she starts each chapter with a short quiz to test yourself and skip ahead if already know the material. This book is great for what you are describing, if I'm understanding you. I picked it up when I was preparing to return to college after being away for many years. I supplemented it with another book I highly recommend: "Mastering Technical Mathematics" by Stan Gibilisco and Norman Crowhurst: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Technical-Mathematics-Third....
I found that Jenny Olive's book was well designed and preferred it's style to any math textbook I have ever used. Even so occasionally I would get bored while working thru it. That is when I flip thru the Stan Gibilisco's book, which was full of interesting looking problems and examples. When I would try to solve one of them, it would become apparent that I still need to work on the fundamental concepts that were prerequisites for solving the problem. Thus I would return to Jenny Olive's book right where I left off, re-energized by the desire to master those fundamentals that she covers so well

I'm interested in a future where farming insects for the protein and such is normal. I'm sure 90% of people don't even know that 'whey' protein is from milk. Give cricket powder a better name and then sell it cheap, if it's nutritious then it should catch on.
This would be true if all consumers were rational actors and thought through the labor market ramifications of each purchase they made before they made it, but they're not and they don't.
Every theory matches observations given interpretations of those theories, and it's impossible to engage in discourse without additionally engaging in interpretation. So some theories are going to be eliminated from view given one perspective or the other since interpretations must be chosen over others. I think where you're wrong is thinking it's possible to evade this and make the claim that all arguments are specious without simultaneously gesturing that you don't want to engage in the discourse anymore: it's a self-defeating claim.

Notice that none of this prevents there from being a singular subject that we can talk about, but there can still be substantial disagreement as to the nature of the thing be discussed. If we are disputing whether or not there is a multiverse I would just ask you, what are your grounds for accepting that we occupy a multiverse and what brought you to do so?

Precisely. When you also factor in the productivity derived from an increased access to learning resources on the internet and industrial scale production of equipment that would have been unimaginable in the early 19th century. . .OF COURSE the productivity of almost all fields of the arts has increased significantly.

The concept of a performance isn't limited to the few minutes the artists are on stage, the quality of the performance and what it takes to get there are built over years and this has been very nicely democratized over even the past decade than at most times in Human history.

Two of this article's sources are John Tierney who has had it out against recycling since the 90s, and has written other anti-environmentalist pieces, including a hit piece on Rachel Carson in 2007 that sang the praises of DDT spraying in third world countries [1]. For a takedown of the FUD in that one see [2].

Simply put if this author trusts Tierney it's a reason not to trust this author.

Every "expanding" food bank is going to be significantly better at efficiently converting capital into food than you are, so donating cans to those kinds of food banks is simply throwing money away. Just give them cash. Give them less cash if you're so worried about misuse of proceeds.
Just want to point out that I'm a Midwesterner and the line "drank their polluted water" is neither factual nor representative of me or any of my family or friends. There are a valid points you point out but please exclude hyperbole in your arguments.
The question is what "browser" means. If viewing data connected by hyperlinks is the goal, that's pretty easy. Rebol's approach to X-Net (Executable Internet) apps is very different, with the goal of being a way to share both data and active content. You can do both, the web we know just wasn't designed for that.
Stress concentration factors like this are the bane of all structural engineering. Anything with too sharp an internal corner will concentrate stress and lead to material fatigue failure if there's any stress there. Given I've spent all morning staring at it in some finite element analysis work, I'm going to ramble about it to give myself a break.

Sometimes dealing with it can be a pain, for example if you need two rectangular things to sit together along two faces, since you have to radius both corners with a larger radius on the smaller object. One way to combat this is to drill a hole in the corner, removing additional material but creating a little 270ish-degree-C-shaped radius in place of the sharp corner. Take what would've originally been a sharp corner, but then drill it out (example: [1]). What you lose on less material, you more than gain back with eliminating the stress concentration. This has the advantage that then a rectangular object can fit snug into the corner, because the smaller's sharp corner just sits inside the larger's C-shape cutout.

The best visualisation tool of this phenomenon that I learned is force lines [2]. Where they bunch up closely together is where high stress occurs. It follows naturally that a sudden sharp corner will concentrate all those lines close to it, whereas a gentler radius encourages a more gradual transition. Think of the lines as similar to Isobars (probably the most well-known contour line) [3], in that the lines represent points of constant pressure/force, and so will sort-of repel adjacent lines (since there needs to be a smooth gradient between those lines). The more gradually they're forced to change, the more gradual that gradient between lines will be (represented by them being farther apart).

Anyhow, all of this is also why you see countless concrete footpaths, driveways, etc. with cracks growing out from sharp corners in the concrete. Look at any internal corners where the concrete runs in an L shape. You'll not uncommonly find a crack growing from it. However, no one really cares (except for aesthetic properties) because it doesn't cause a functional problem, and forming concrete into straight sides is orders of magnitude easier than forming smooth curves.

Bonus points if you notice that it's generally not parallel to one of the edges that form the corner, and can figure out why :)

(I'd be guessing if I gave my answer, but I'm somewhat confident it'd be right: thermal expansion/contraction affects both sides simultaneously, meaning that the shear stress runs generally at 45 degrees to the corner rather than perpendicular to one, which would be the case if only one side expanded/contracted.)

Well if you replace 'scrapers' with 'advertisements', there are plenty of worthwhile OSS projects that might welcome help :)

Making that sort of business unprofitable might not be a super realistic goal, though.

> Again, you are disagreeing from a theoretical standpoint here, not a practical one

Call me when I can put an application on a thumbdrive and take it to another system and run it without having to worry about dependencies or being connected to the internet. I can do this with AppImage, MacOS App Bundles, and quite a lot of Windows programs and I can do it today, not some "maybe we'll implement it" future. Oh yeah, and there's no magic, they are single files or folders and can be manipulated as such without any special magic from the OS. My understanding is that even if Haiku was modified to accommodate this kind of thing, it would require magic handling to do so because dependencies.

Also, you want to talk practicality? In part 4 Probono had to install Haiku to a larger disk because he was outgrowing the one it was installed on. Here's a question: why could't he keep his install where it is and just put new applications on a different partition? Like you can do on a Mac, or on Windows (usually), or with AppImage?

There are practical limitations imposed by hpkg. You think they're reasonable trade-offs, I disagree.

I really don't understand why you seem so intent on convincing me that my opinion is incorrect. This is a real limitation of your system that actually exists, the complexity behind it is real. You're of the opinion that those are not significant, and I am of the opinion that they are. Your constant attempts to convince me otherwise, mostly by telling me I'm in the minority, or my usecase is wrong and invalid, are not and never will be well received. Frankly, they remind me far too much of Linux Desktop evangelists.

> You can mount a package file from anywhere, to anywhere, with the `mount` command as with any other disk image.

Which I can only assume means I must manually mount any dependencies not in a blessed path first before I mount the application that is also not in a blessed path, since the convention is not to package non-base system dependencies with applications.
Does anybody else get a Bernie Sanders type of feeling from this? A throwback to older issues and older battles, not seen since the 90s? It's refreshing to see that someone still cares about the rainforests, but I don't know if it's going to stick. The energy of the environmental movement is now elsewhere; at the cosmic scale, in the fight against climate change; at the scale of smaller, practical changes, it's in things like banning plastic straws.

But some skill sets are more effective at some tasks. You wouldn’t hire a stand-up comic to play quarterback on your football team. There are opportunity costs to doing so that make it a strategic blunder.

It’s really the same, only lesser in degree, when thinking about what sort of background & skill set someone should have when you hire them to manage your product development.

If you narrowly dismiss that consideration by acting like every skill set is equal & every type of person hired into the position of product management can do the job, it’s no less of a strategic blunder.

Isnt it usually about services? Like teachers or massage therapists or barbers. There's a limit of how many people one of them can serve a day.

Shops (including pharmacies) have probably become more effective - look at Amazon. A lot of shopping is online which is surely more productive (for example - you can buy without driving there first).

The Economist had an article on the topic recently:

Amazon is the second most trusted institution in the USA, behind the military.

It's fairly obvious how the above "draconian" conditions benefit customers. Employees that take long breaks or pick items slowly leads to delayed deliveries, having to employee more staff per delivery, having to raise prices or reduce range to cover this cost.

This is really the flip side of "customer obsessed", when you are focused on customers you don't particularly care about any individual employee (all the way up the chain).

For a counterexample, google and facebook mostly treat their employees well (with the exception of some contractors). However customers don't trust them as much, because they know they are profit/employee focused.
The idea of creating computers out of virtual objects has always fascinated me since I first saw someone do it in Minecraft.

It really brings up some interesting scenarios that I like to day dream about sometimes.

For instance, in a real world simulation, you could build a processor with a gazillion transistors because you don’t have to worry about the same physical limitations like size or heat. Could it take an input and compute an output faster than something in the real world?

Would you be bound by the speed of light in the virtual world? You control the physics in your virtual world, so technically nothing prevents it right? Information can travel faster than the speed of light relative to your virtual objects. Say you model the earth at 1:1 scale in the simulation and have avatars on complete opposite sides of earth. They could exchange messages faster than they could in the real world since the information wouldn’t have to physically travel across physical space. (e.g. send message directly to memory address X instead of sending light through fiber optic physics simulator).

Essentially, in a simulation of the physical world that has tweaked physics, could information be processed faster than the processor running the simulation?

Is there some sort of conservation of energy law, but for information?

Perhaps move the google index and the facebook graph to "utility" companies, with google/facebook being frontends/consumers for those companies. Tiered access costs based on query/access volumes could fund the utility, and allow smaller companies to have access with costs based on their scale, if they can monetise as they scale up to cover the costs then they should not be in business.

Not sure why you and stinos think I'm advocating for blind trust.

My point is simply that cleaner code is not intuitively self evidently better without experience. It feels intuitive to senior engineers but even side by side comparisons aren't necessarily enough for juniors.

The effort overhead required to achieve (effectively zero once you internalize it), but far from zero when you are a beginner does not seem like it offsets the hypothetical benefits.

So articles like OP's are quite fascinating to me because they take a totally unorthodox approach to advocating for it.
The main pollution source in ground water aquifers around here is two fold, salt water contamination or chlorinated solvent leakage. The former is caused by oil wells drilled during ww2 without proper casement and sealing, and the latter is caused by small government corruption. The plumes of each are organic, ironically enough, and can be fixed with simple bacteria and recirculation wells. Long cry from the opening statements in this article.

As the “libertarian” (not my label) in question in this thread, the response is that use of violence or violent coercion is morally untenable.

There is an old Jewish tradition (written down in Pirkei Avot ~1700 years ago) which lists the objects that God created "on the eve of the Sabbath at twilight" after finishing the rest of creation. Most of them are religious or mystical in meaning, but the final object listed is "[the original] tongs, for tongs are made with tongs."

A Review of Automatic Differentiation and Its Efficient Implementation
I think an obvious solution here is simply to strengthen consumer protection laws and shift the burden of preventing this from the consumer to the vendor.

The common thread in all these stories was "a kid spends a bunch of money, parent asks for a refund, is told no". But consider if the law says that digital goods such as this must be refunded on demand unless you can prove the purchaser wasn't a child. (If you want to really drive the point home, add a penalty clause for abuse, so you have to refund 150% of the total if there's evidence of any attempt to target minors, hide the charges, dark patterns, etc.)

If Apple becomes statutorily required to refund the money, they'll get very good very quickly at kicking bad actors off their platform.

This shouldn't be a system where parents try and protect themselves and their children and scummy vendors try and exploit them; it should be a shystem where Apple (and the other platforms and market operators) try to protect themselves and scummy vendors try and exploit them. Leave liability with the people most able to protect themselves, not the least able.

I don't think bans or treating games like drugs is needed; if you remove the financial incentive of being abusive, you'll stop the abuse.
This reminds me of the Foxconn suicides. Lots of press made it sound like a major problem, but the actual rate was lower than both China and US averages.
