> I hear is common in Europe

It is not. I have seen a ramp-up in the amount of advertisement everywhere. Maybe poorer countries like Romania - I have been just to Bucharest - are not so affected. But, Sweden, or Spain, - the countries that I spend more time - are just installing more and more advertisements everywhere.

Gambling advertisements are quite common in Stockholm. I remember specially one telling people to buy lottery tickets because they live sucks and the only lottery can save them from their horrible lives. It was disgusting.

Cities have a high amount of cognitive pollution.
A major problem is that regulatory capture leads to less competition, yet the common solution proposed is "more regulation/government". The US federal government effectively forced Boeings 2nd biggest competition to shut down their business in 2017 (Bombardier's C Series program, now sold to Airbus for pennies on the dollar). It seems to me that if a democratic government is given broad arbitrary regulatory power, it is a given that it will be used to limit competition for special interest's groups benefit. If anyone has any examples of a large federal agency that hasn't been captured, I would be interested to know more.
And both have massive water problems where people need to drill down further and further to find water because we pump it out faster than it can refill most because gigantic farms can pump out as much water as they want for free or for a tiny fee.. basically profiting today at the cost of our children
I don't think it has to do anything with UN and international sanctions, Iranians once negotiated in the Obama's presidency and made a deal with 5+1, after Obama, Trump broke the deal and the US is out of that now, but the rest of the world didn't, so it is just US sanction not "International" or UN sanctions.

On the other hand, blocking Iranian GitHub accounts is helping to change Iran regime? Are Iranian GitHub Users developing nuclear bombs there?
>Education is more a filtering mechanism than an enrichment mechanism. Panning does not create gold

This is a pretty bad analogy man. Education, starting with basic literacy & numeracy, improves virtually everyone who goes through it- which is why mandatory education is part of every society now. Literacy alone completely changes outcomes for say women in developing countries. Just mandating an extra 4 years of high school in agricultural countries that really could've used the teenage help in the fields was a huge step forward for humanity. Education is an improvement process more than a filtering process, no one is born knowing how to read, count, do algebra, code, etc. I agree it does contain a filtering element too, but societies where the construction workers & janitors can read are better than ones where they can't
It makes just as much sense for them to live in coffin size spaces with food funnelled in tubes. Where does this absurdity end? "Making sense" and accepting that you need to cater to real humans in a society are two things that are rationally far apart. It doesn't "make sense" to pretend that human needs of space have no consideration.

Is there anyway that people’s, paundits, and expert opinion reported in USA media will not be mandated by the release of their latest book? It seems like there’s no real news reporting anywhere, just marketing of books. Also, you might wonder why Americans are so clueless about history, climate or the world outside, assuming they’ve read all these books...
Oh my god the hubris. You want to start engineering out agressiveness potential? Given that genes code for a system that is then trained by experience maybe you want to tweak the training set first.

>It's US law and GitHub (Microsoft) is bound by it.

That seems like a terrible situation. What if tomorrow there's a US law that <insert ridiculous thing which "everybody" says won't happen until the day it happens>

Maybe they should fork into GitHub US, GitHub EU and so on.
This same pattern also hurt Scheme's reputation. For a while, when I mentioned I was doing big production work in Scheme, it was ordinary for someone to mention hating it from school.

(ProTip: Maybe you hated it from school because it was used as a tool for teaching theory and beginner stuff, and you were given difficult homework assignments. Maybe you'd like it more if you learned how to use it practically, while you were working on things you actually wanted to do.)

This argument can be used to create and justify a race to the bottom in any field. Whatever your normative beliefs, those people over there are barbarians and will destroy everything you care about unless you destroy it first.

How do we break the cycle?
This is what I always fear when I hear deregulation. It is not that regulation is gone, it is just that it is shifted to the regulated and this is one possible outcome, people die.
It’ll probably be Airbus that eats a portion of Boeing’s lunch (but not all of it). And whatever Airbus can’t eat will just go back to Boeing. An MVP for a passenger airplane requires considerably more effort and experience than an app, or even a car. You can’t just ship then iterate quickly.
Your industry doesn't itself create value it maximizes the value of other industries by connecting customers and creators. The ultimate equilibrium might see your industry having to do more with less.

Ultimately the world did everything it does now without internet marketing and ultimately could do so again.

A sizable share of a smaller pie is better than all of nothing. Essentially your concern is both correct and irrelevant.

Nobody cares if Google has to make less money to have a less crappy internet the same way nobody cares if the newspaper industry makes less money.

It's not him. Docker was retired last year in case you are not aware of that.

RedHat replaced docker with their own software. The command is still "docker" but it doesn't run docker. Since RedHat basically runs Linux, docker is dead, it will be transparently killed from all the Linux distributions soon.
Safe to bet if our biology was easily tweaked to make us all super smart without cost evolution would have found it. Engineering is all about trade offs. And having people of differing abilities seems to make groups stronger and more likely to survive.

There seems to be a lot of confusion in the US about what military spending entails.

The WTO and other agreements largely limits what the US government is allowed to contract only from US companies. One of the exceptions is national security.

If something is national security related the US government can spend money and restrict the companies it does business with to US companies.

It's just a hack on Keynesian Economics.
This is beyond my expertise and involves some words that I don’t understand, but my understanding is that quite a few people in ML (eg Michael Jordan) specifically care about things like gradient flows in the space of probability measures, and have research questions involving quite challenging differential geometry. You’d have to browse his papers to get a better understanding as I’m not qualified to expand much on this subject.

>Removing rent control hurts current renters in the short term. It also removes restrictions on supply that improve the overall health of the market over a longer time horizon.

I'm just seeking proof of that. There are limitless alternative even contradictory theories. Why, other than matching preconceived world views, do we choose one over the other without evidence? In the Cambridge example 25 years have passed but there is, as you say, no additional housing and prices have risen further. Nor was there any burst of economic growth. In what way and to what end has the market become healthier?

And if it does not increase supply of new construction then it is zero sum gain. It merely benefits one group, in this case landlords and new residents, over old residents and tenants generally. And the harm done is not temporary, the increased outlay in housing is permanent regardless of who is paying it. And wealth is transferred to unproductive literal rent seeking from productive activities such as consumption, employment and businesses (who now have bigger payrolls just to pass through employees to housing).

And now, with transient population replacing a permanent one, interest in long term undertakings such as mass transit and community undertakings such as environment, homelessness or even economic stimulus also wane.

The correct solution is to add more housing which evidently is unconnected to rent control. Certainly on existing units.
Notice that this subject has an almost total overlap with what is called "graph signal processing", yet the terminology sounds completely different.

It also represents about 50% of the global advertising market (ad spending), so if the market changes there, it effects the rest of the world (for good and bad).

"Actual vote fraud is about political machinery".

That's not 'vote[r] fraud'. The meaning of the term is independent of whether this type of fraud is common or not, how the threat of it is misused politically, etc.
A friend of mine is a music producer and became an ‘overnight success’ when he handed a song to a DJ at an LA club and got signed and almost instantly was touring the world. I got to hang out after gigs while all these other big name djs were calling him a genius. The thing is he had been a bedroom producer and small time DJ for almost 15 years, though since he was 15 years old. I heard his songs even 5 years before he got signed and they were good, but not even close to the level he is now. He wasn’t a genius. It was a lot of hard work and persistence.
I just tell them my usual rates to build their idea. Tell them I have a no equity policy unless they can prove their commitment or pay their pound of flesh. I actually got a great partnership with my current client this way.

I once tried to scare off the person by highballing on equity. Didn't work as he agreed to the deal.
You need a computer to run LibreOffice. So no, in many cases, they can't afford it.

Vimeo requires the person creating the content to pay, yes? So if I want to do a series of videos on Kibana, or Active Directory, or astrophysics, I need to pay Vimeo in addition to the effort of creating my content.

Basically no one outside a philosophy lecture has ever suggested that the current state of anything is the only possible one, that's a meaningless strawman. Please avoid the condescending suggestion that others can't imagine things being different, it's as patronizing as it is pointless.
In a deregulated world banks wouldn't get bailouts. They would go bust. Governments wouldn't pressure France with import tariffs to protect their aviation industry.

In a heavily regulated you still got dieselgate. It got exposed by the private sector.

There's many factors at play. There exists no world where Boeing benefits from having their planes crashing.
That is a logical possibility, yes. Imagine a town with a tradition of hitting each other on the heads with baseball bats.

The footgun argument is not applied very consistently here.

In other languages, it's an argument against constructors. You might do things that are bad like have members with default values or call methods on an object that isn't ready. You could avoid doing those things by establishing conventions.

For example, the default values thing can be avoided in C++ by using member initialization lists. Or in Java, use final fields and definite assignment (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se10/html/jls-16.ht...) will protect you from default values.

But the requirement to maintain those conventions is an unreasonable burden when it comes to constructors.

However, when it comes to maintaining conventions to avoid other issues, Rust then gets a free pass:

> A perceived downside of this approach is that any code can create a struct, so there’s no the single place, like the constructor, to enforce invariants. In practice, this is easily solved by privacy: if struct’s fields are private it can only be created inside its declaring module. Within a single module, it’s not at all hard to maintain a convention like "all construction must go via the new method".

And it even goes on to say "One can even imagine a language extension" for Rust. Fair enough, but in languages that use constructors, one could imagine language extensions too. Default values for fields could be an explicit opt-in thing. Or calling methods on a not-fully-built-yet object could be banned or could require an explicit syntax.
It seems that "abandoning Docker" is the latest fashion fad, this is not the first article of this kind on HN recently.

I look at each of those articles carefully and my takeaway every time is the same: there are great alternatives to Docker if you have unlimited time and are willing to accept lots of limitations.
To be fair I'm not even sure which companies I trust to do ads with. I guess I'll avoid ads on any of my websites. I do agree though, security of that scale is not an easy problem to solve.

Where do you get the $100/lb? Just extending it to passenger flights, a cross country trip costs $250 (LA to NYC) and most passengers are > 100 lbs, so it’s $2.50/lb for even the most expensive passenger. Last/first mile from the airport to the pickup and delivery site will add to the package cost, but I’m just wondering where you get the $100 figure.

If your policy is not to use products of companies operated in the US (and thus bound by US laws)...you're going to have to give up a lot more than just GitHub.

This is strictly anecdotal, and I would honestly love to see this subjected to a rigorous study, but I lost twenty pounds without additional exercise or dietary changes in the last six months just by having a sleep study done, getting diagnosed with sleep apnea, and being put on a CPAP machine.

I agree. Although the tech isn't there yet, it's rapidly coming. Whether the breakthroughs are two years away, or ten, or fifty they are coming. And discovery is accelerated by AI in looking for the solutions in biology. China is making far more investments in this area than is the US at the moment.

Note: you only get $125 if you previously paid for credit monitoring. If not, your "payout" from this settlement will simply be a few years of free monitoring. Not terrible, but not quite as exciting as the free money you'd expect from the headline.
At the end he mentions EME (encrypted media extensions) which may be the real front in the war. Actually the browser and video market consolidation with EME could really slant the odds in the advertisers favor because and Google and Netflix can make it really hard for people.

Eventually we may make a hard break from the old internet into a new one. I'm looking for practical and scalable cryptocurrency and smart contract solutions to become popular. After that you may see a new type of browser protocol that does not have a full operating system in it and can be implemented by mere mortals. It might depend on one or more decentralized protocols such as IPFS or dat or even one of the many less popular academic content-oriented-networking systems. There is a strong possibility it will not have any JavaScript.
You don’t have to use a model which allows this. Pay-per-placement, for example. You pay a fixed amount to put your ad in a specific article (or on the entire site or in whatever rotation people like) and then there’s no way to rip off advertisers with click farms.

You still need to measure your audience to get advertisers to pay the price, but this is decoupled from the individual ad buys so it can be done differently.
Overview of Consistency Levels in Database Systems
This. Essentially doctors go through 12+ years to work retail. Many people get an education just so they don't have to work with retail customers.

Also, it has gotten worse. Before the ACA there used to be a barrier where to see a doctor you essentially either had a job or money which would weed out a lot of the nuts.
The one place I thought ads were relevant was on google search. After all, I was searching for the product they are advertising.

But the line started to blur when they decided to remove that yellow background that tells me the result is an ad. Now, it's a 11px font that spells ad. That's the only indicator.

For myself, I created a single use extension that turns google ads background to yellow[1]. I'm fine with ads on Google search, as long as I know they are ads.

FWIW, my city (Lünen, Germany) has 2 Multi-MWh storages built from them (1 from batteries from Smart cars, 1 possibly from i-MiEV batteries). Without any material-level recycling, just simple reuse, as energy density is a lot less important than for cars.

Maybe having 2 of those (admittedly pilot) projects in my backyard biases my estimations of their availability.
Are their studies that show that?

I have heard the opposite. Every day you can stop a game from being pirated is quite a lot of sales earned back.

Dunovo has been quite effective at this in the past.

If you can stop your game from being pirated for a week a lot of people who want the game right now will switch to buying instead.

After it’s been cracked a lot of publishers will then patch out the DRM since it doesn’t matter anymore.
How on earth does 'airline creating startups' live in the same sentence as 'Boeing'? Boeing is an aircraft manufacturer, not an airline.

Airline creating startups do not compete with Boeing, they compete with Lufthansa, Air-France-KLM, Delta and so on.

And even if they did create airplanes, small start-ups do not usually directly compete with giants the size of Boeing on their home territory. Airline manufacture - even with shitty regulation - of a new model passenger plane is not something a 'smaller airplane creating startup' would successfully pull off. It will take a very large amount of money and a huge team to do this.

You say, "google makes a fortune and content creators make fuck all", then why do people still upload their content? That makes no sense to me at all.

But besides that, i am all for more competition. Better user interfaces, better conditions, less censorship, i am for all of it.

And to me it earns a lot of respect, that i can upload my 8k video to youtube, they distribute it potentially to millions of people, and i dont have to pay a dime. And that they are still able to make it a platform, where i get a lot of interesting things to see. And it is somehow sustainable.
I think this is a great idea, young people will always push the envelope in terms of risky behaviour. A 'scare' with a structured process that includes mentorship could harnesses a young hacking talent and be positive outcome for the youngster and society in general.

Over the long term I wonder if this will give Europe an edge in cybersecurity relative to the US?

Well if the future is just a big black box, why is it reasonable to move to hosts outside the US?
