As a general recommendation, try to avoid oneliners in HN. It's better to explain why the headline is wrong and why the article is interesting anyway. Sometimes you can pick the subtitle or a sentence of the article and propose it as an alternative title, and the mods may change it. Sometimes the only sensible title can create be made out of thin air, but the chance that the change is accepted is minimal.

> That's as opposed to "validated" ECC support in, say, AMD's Threadripper platform. In that case, if a company builds and markets a motherboard as compatible with Threadripper, and it lacks ECC support, they can expect to receive a nasty letter from AMD's legal team.

Are you sure about that? I'm only asking because the System76 Threadripper Thelio[0] doesn't support ECC (according to the response I received from their support people). Their response was actually that "Threadripper and our motherboard do not offer ECC" (TR obviously does support it though), but is it the case that they're actually contractually obligated to support ECC?

I really wish everyone was competing on efficiency. Most journeys require nowhere near the range capabilities of current EVs, instead carrying around excess weight when not required. Similarly on the acceleration side, other than showing off, why do we need cars that can do 0-60 in 2-3 seconds? Those kinds of g-forces are certainly not pleasant for passengers.
How about rule of 3:

Banning this is extremism and proves the balloons work. I live in Chicago and see the rats. They get important conversations started for everyone about what's going on, wage suppression and class consciousness. If you're not fighting in class warfare, you're losing it, because as we see here the investment class doesn't stop. The labor movement made life better for all of us, so I always support these working class heroes. You know we're losing when we can't even have a balloon because business doesn't like it.
It was just a few days ago that we saw a study using US LEO data which showed that assault weapon bans do nothing to reduce murder rates, while bans on weapons purchases to people with ANY sort of history of violence, including misdemeanors, has a significant effect. So you are correct.

My current preference would be:

1. A weapons licensing program requiring training and passing a test both on general use and much more heavily on safety and responsibility/ethics. Biennial refresher course for license renewal.

2. A complete ban on gun ownership for any violent crime history or history of mental health issues, or known affiliation with a group classified as a terrorist group or criminal gang, or any other well known factors which significantly increase the risk of gun related murder, allowing unlicensed persons access to your firearms, including mandatory immediate surrender of arms and amo for anyone with a gun license if any of these points should become relevant after the fact.

3. Significant funding for means of identifying other factors that could help reduce gun deaths and implementing laws that integrate such factors once they have been demonstrated, as well as education to help the public at large identify the factors that are statistically relevant to gun deaths.

You can't be forced to give your password (self-incrimination), but, depending on the jurisdiction, the police can force your finger on the unlock screen.

The technology is a bit hush-hush, but it is already possible to read brainwaves, and "interrogate" someone through fMRI. Just thinking about your password may reveal it, if they are allowed to force your brain near a reader.

The first serious (public) ventures into this technology was around 2000. Advances in machine learning then made it possible to read objects and concepts that were not in a training set. It was used and tested extensively in Guantanamo Bay. The legal status is still ambiguous, but I guess that it is used just in very special cases (where the detainment itself may be legally ambiguous, such as at a black site).

I just feel like a lot of the novelty has worn off, and the user base has more or less figured out what they want to use a mobile device for by now.

People spend most of their time on the very small number of big name social media apps, some games, and email, camera and texting apps. ok, so maybe it's more like 1000 apps. IDK. but, if those are all present at the launch of the Huawei store, then a lot of users will say "good enough for me." Huawei could do the market research, figure out what those apps are, and then incentivize those app devs to port to Huawei.

I've found enemies in shooters to be really weird just idling until you show up in their vincinity. They should know you're there and be coming for you or hold defensive positions. Or they could be unaware and unprepared, running for cover and their guns when they see you.

That was twenty years ago. Reading this article made me wonder whether it's still the same today. On second though it's probably about offering a game that allows people to shoot enemies in a satisfactory way. Having enemies too smart wouldn't allow killing hundreds of them because they'd get you first.

I've been thinking lately about what people will and won't be skeptical about. All the horrifying stories coming from escapees from north korea, for instance, are accepted without any real scrutany. But if there is a class of powerful people that publically executes people by steam roller, why is it so hard to believe there could be a network of child sex trafficing for a powerful class of people here? Or if a child sex ring is too outlandish, why believe in the stories about north korea? Is it down to diplomatic relations? Should that be a factor?

...banning 100-round barrels...

Not sure if you're joking there -- maybe you meant magazines?

Like so many other gun regulation ideas, it seems superficially reasonable based on "danger" but it's almost never the case that items like that contributed measurably to gun deaths. They don't need to be banned -- they are niche items. Mass shooters who have access to them rarely use them. They rarely use 40 or 50 round magazines. Indeed, people rarely purchase magazines larger than the standard 30 rounds.

We can reduce gun ownership...

That is not a legitimate policy goal. The earlier poster points out that gun ownership is not correlated with crime at all. We shouldn't set policy goals that are merely about partisanship -- trying to cut down on gun owners because we don't like them -- rather than a clear public benefit.

...increasing liability for dealers.

I would like to better understand what you have in mind here. In general, modern legal systems reject holding one person responsible for the crime of another. If a mass shooter lawfully purchases a firearm, what possible liability could a dealer have?
PCI-e Gen 4 is the biggest leap that got me excited. Grouping NVME drives and high-speed network interfaces is the future, being able to do this reasonably without the need for server or "enthusiast" grade hardware (i.e. Threadripper or LGA 2066) is awesome!
> it's especially bad in roguelikes, where luring enemies to doors is a common tactic.

Ah ha yes my thoughts exactly while I read the article. I'm not throwing away an hour of procedurally generated airplane time-wasting fun by walking all the way into that room, doorway is just fine for me.

The other thought I had was that old America's Army game. When actually played "correctly" it was extremely slow paced and "boring". It wasn't usually doorways (honestly doorways were more exciting because you actually had some suspense about the doors &corners hiding aspect). Rather it was just hiding in bushes and waiting to move until someone far back told you where the sniper(s) was looking and if it was safe to bolt to the next bush. For like 20 minutes, which was an eon considering if you died at the beginning of the round you had nothing to do, and e.g. CS rounds were like 2 minutes.

> Why would you design a level to force a specific play style, even though they might not enjoy it?

Personally I enjoy being challenged in my playstyle. I don't particularly abhor arena fights, but I'm a minmaxer by nature so if the game designer leaves the possibility of a boring fight open I will probably take it.

They're just forcing people like me into challenges.

That said, closing doors/drops in 2019 are just lazy design.
I was in a similar boat a few years ago. I had to leave my job a because of an RSI—it was devastating to lose both my career and my passion to this injury. My solution was to switch to coding by voice, and I've been doing that full-time for the past year. I did notice some voice strain at the start, but it went away after I started speaking more naturally (i.e., pretending I'm talking to a person and not a computer).

I'm working on a new voice coding app—developing it entirely by voice—that I hope can help people in this situation: https://serenade.ai. I'd be happy to chat more with you; my email is matt@serenade.ai.

I don't think that's what people want, I think people just want reasonable value for a reasonable price and not have to juggle streaming services.

Personally, I'd love a service that provides a good quantity of content at some base price, with more content available for some additional, fixed price. Some ideas:

- add-on services for an extra monthly price (say, $10/month base for Netflix, $10 more each for Disney, HBO, etc)
- access to everything, but limited number of hours/shows/movies per month, with extra purchasable time/shows/movies
- ala carte movies/shows should be reasonably priced (newer shows/movies around $5 down to $1 for older content)

I have having to remember which platform has which content. I don't care if a movie was produced by Disney or DreamWorks, I just know I want to watch it with my kids. Amazon usually has it available for purchase/rent, but finding the proper platform would be significant cheaper since it's available as part of the monthly fee I'm already paying.

I think copyright should be much more limited than it is today. When copyright was introduced, it lasted 14 years, and could be extended an additional 14 years if the content owner was still alive. I think basic idea makes sense, but with corporations owning copyright, perhaps it makes sense for these owners to prove that they need the additional protections to turn a profit in order to get an extension. I think this would encourage content owners to make their content more available while they still have protections instead of hoarding it because they know people have to come to them for their content.

Personally, I only have two streaming services: Netflix (my kids like several shows there) and Amazon (we really like 2 day shipping, the video is just a perk). We've rented a handful of shows, but it's really a turnoff because my kids like to watch something several times in a short period, but I don't want to rent it several times, so we tend to just avoid content that's not available. I would be happy to pay more for more content access, but I don't want yet another platform.

If I were less well-off, I'd consider just giving up on streaming and go back to piracy. Instead, I just deal with mediocre content instead of getting exactly what I want for a bit more money.
The beefy motors allow a larger fraction of the required braking to go through recuperation, so it should help range as well (assuming somewhat constant efficiency at partial load).

I do wish for a more reasonable EV marketing than the "guilt-free bigger better faster" that we currently see, but technological properties are not in favor of minimalistic EV. The efficiency penalty for overpowered ICE cars was much bigger than that of overpowered EV, but even they never stopped getting more overpowered each iteration.

PS: at least focusing on acceleration goes counter to "just strap on another ton of batteries" tactics. IMHO two tons of technology for transporting one or two persons on land is too much, even if the powersource was rainbows and butterflies.

Not all of it, I think. (At least I don’t think reducing outstanding shares to 0 is a well-defined process, I could be wrong.)

But theoretically if a company do keep buying its own shares it can reduce their number to the point where the company is no longer required to be “public” and the shares can be delisted. However the important number is how many shareholders the company has, not how many shares (but obviously a company with 300 shares cannot have more than 300 shareholders).

I don’t know if that has ever happened. Reducing the numbers of shares (and shareholders) can also be done be reverse splitting. For example a company that is doing so badly that the share price goes to zero and regularly do inverse splits (making one $5 share from 100 $0.05 shares) will end up with a handful of shares. Or a company which is not failing may try to get rid of minority shareholders by doing reverse splits (if you don’t have enough shares to get the new one you get cash instead).

The usual way to reduce the number of shareholders is for someone to make a tender offer. And in that case there are rules about what happens with those who didn’t choose to sell. That’s what happened with Dell, that another comment mentioned, which was bought by Silver Lake.

That's false. It's remarkable how something false turns into something "we all know". How you can imagine HN is run that way, let alone declaim about it publicly, is beyond me.

Anyone can "send a message to a mod" (just email hn@ycombinator.com). No one can "get a user banned". All anyone can get us to do is take a look at what they're concerned about—and that we do for everyone.
