It’s not a tax, as it isn’t collected by government. It’s also not ‘on all television ownership’ - you only need to pay the license fee if you watch public broadcast television as it airs, or you use the BBC iPlayer.
Yes - in my experience, coworking spaces are ‘until’ spaces: “until we get a real office”, “until we decide what we’re actually going to do”, “until we commit to being fully remote”

This was highlighted for me when a friend’s company’s office was damaged by a burst water main and they moved the entire team to a local co-working space....until their office was renovated.

Sure - you could make a bet coworking is like Bridal magazines - and count on a large continuous flow of demand by very short-term customers. Not the kind of bets I like.
She should get re-tested for Lyme and tested at one of the "best" labs (there are disagreements about which labs are most accurate).

The Lyme test only measure antibodies, not bacteria. That means if you get tested too early in the disease process, you might come up negative.
Nobody is arguing that skin-cells that they picked-up off the floor is the same ballpark as a tissue sample that was taken in a biopsy, studied, and profited from.

Right, didn't Beresheet just do basically exactly this orbital insertion pattern? And we have the Parker Probe which is shutting back and forth between the Sun and Venus to do gravity boosts in an even more dramatic way. Heck, both Voyagers did back in 1977 although those were very simple boosts compared to what we can do today.

Not true of any of the four places I've worked, startup and FAANG. Directors (at FAANG) and CEOs (at startups) sat at the same kind of desk the rest of us did (though of course, spent the vast majority of time in meetings)
Further, AWS had Amazon as its first customer. Eat your own dog food and all that.

I'm trying to think of a large business that could build (or did) an internal WeWork like division, and then offered that service to outside parties.

Huh. I guess that'd be a big white collar employer that did project centric work. Like a big consulting firm. Or an IT services unit, like Microsoft or Oracle.

Imagine Amazon bundling their own real estate, construction, facilities, space planning, and misc A/E/C functions as a service. For their own use. And then offering that service to outsiders.

That's what WeWork should look like.

--

I now predict that's exactly what Amazon will do.

Amazon will compete with WeWork and others in this space. With the advantage of themselves as their own first customer. And unlimited capital.
ADA only requires reasonable accommodation; it does not require that you sacrifice the majority of another employee's effort to salvage a difficult one. It also requires the disability be disclosed in order to be accommodated. If the manager knows the employee has autism, what it is, and some reasonable adjustments to his management technique based on that, everyone is more likely to be successful.
As mobile is eating the industry already anyways, this is already what's happening, and phones have adapted to show and restrict data usage, and it'd be nice if we had that much control at home too.

Ideally, the per usage rate you pay for Internet should both be much more granular than mobile ISPs use (by the MB would be nice), and so inconsequential that you don't need to worry about it as a daily aspect. (Nobody spends serious thought about the cost of turning on the light switch when they enter a room.)

There seem to be general paths for OS.

1) OS from the start. Develop in the open. Maybe lock some features behind a paywall.

2) OS when something is not hot anymore. Take your formerly private stuff you charged a lot of money for, and because so much better stuff has come out.. meh, let's OS it.

This is clearly a case of #2....

Having an extra negative 400 to 500 calorie offset on a daily basis can be incredibly helpful considering a lot of creeping weight gain is caused by a caloric surplus of only a couple hundred per day.
I appreciate this comment for actually saying what no one else is willing to: that we should ban accounts that disagree with you on certain topics. That's the subtext of so many arguments people make, and it's refreshing to hear it explicitly. Well, you didn't quite go all the way. But you did go clarifyingly further, and we barely ever get that.

The answer is that we don't moderate HN that way because we want it to be a pluralistic site. What I hear you saying is that a pluralistic site is impossible ("there won't be much of a community left to protect"). I don't think that's correct. I think HN, for all its problems, is such a site, at least for the time being. I also think that HN's pluralism is mostly what people dislike about it, even though no one ever puts it that way—not because they're dishonest, but because that's not how it feels.

In practice, a large pluralistic internet forum feels like you are being invaded and besieged by hostile forces. (By "you" I mean all of us). Whatever segment of the spectrum here is most awful, most offensive to your values and experiences, that segment makes so strong an impression that it swells up in importance beyond everything else put together and becomes the image of the entire forum in your imagination. But if you think about it, that is just what one would expect from a genuine pluralism, where the spectrum is much wider than one is used to in daily life and on the siloed, sharded internet.

That is the next hurdle, I think, that we need to overcome as a community. We need to grow in awareness that the presence of opposing views is mostly a function of the size and diversity of the forum, i.e. that there are many people here whose lived experience is very different from our own, who also have a need to speak and be heard. We need to grow in ability to hear their experience also—their story also—without snapping shut. By the way, that is also the answer to the objection people sometimes make, that we must be saying that all opinions and expressions are equally valid. That's not so. Not all expressions are valid, but as far as I can tell, all experiences are. The solution is for people to share more of their lived experience and not dress it up so much in secondary opinions and expressions, especially ones that demean or deny the experience of others.

That's how the container here needs to develop. I hope that if it gets stronger in that way, HN will be able to remain pluralistic even if there are external attempts to manipulate it. The healthy way to defeat those pathogens is via a stronger immune system. If the community can't do that, it will end up killing itself, by breeding its own pathogens—chief among which is users accusing fellow community members of being astroturfers, spies, or foreign invaders, not because they have any evidence for saying so, but because what those community members have to say is outside their window of tolerance, so they are unable to meet it calmly and must reach for an explanation of disingenuousness instead.

> And guess what, you even need complex numbers.

That's not true, and that is the point. To prove the main theorems of calculus, you don't need complex numbers, but you do need irrationals.

When you first learn calculus, you do one or two epsilon-delta proofs, and then your teacher gets a little hand wavy about limits and you move on to the real work of derivatives and integrals, cause the limits stuff intuitively makes sense. When you continue on in Real Analysis or Topology of the Real Line, you discover that your intuition lied to you, and concepts like open and closed sets and intersections and accumulation points are important and are in general non-obvious.

There are a bunch of books if you search for "Asperger's" and "Girl". I read "Asperger's and Girls: World-Renowned Experts Join Those with Asperger's Syndrome to Resolve Issues That Girls and Women Face Every Day!" Nothing in there really blew my mind, but it was definitely worth my time.
Hong Kong’s Economy Shudders After Protests Plunge Airport into Chaos
30 kcal per minute would be very difficult to sustain except for a very short burst of time (like 2-5 minutes) in a peak performance scenario (such as an end-of-season race that the athlete is very well tapered and rested for).

My personal numbers for my regular training runs are about 11-12 kcal per minute. I can exceed 15 kcal per minute for very hard workouts or racing but I cannot train appropriately while doing that regularly. I'm a relatively seasoned runner but I don't focus on 800m-1500m which is where it might be possible to see numbers exceeding 20 kcal per minute.

In order for this to make sense for the purposes of lifestyle modification, you also have to subtract the calories that you would have burned had you not been exercising. IE if you had not run for that 30 minutes, you would still have been burning calories, either completely sedentary BMR or some other NEAT. This makes it even a worse deal to exercise for the sake of burning calories.
The problem is that under the hood calculus is all about limits (or methods with a certain equivalence, we won't get into that).

Take a derivative? that's a limit. Take an integral? That's a limit. And limits of seemingly rational expressions are sometimes irrational, case and point the limit of

(1 + 1/n)^n

as n approaches infinity is euler's constant, e.

So if you're taking limits with rationals you're going to find yourself with undefined limits (because irrational numbers are no longer defined) breaking things constantly.

Formally, the irrationals are dense but not complete.
We can't approximate noncomputables at all. If there was an effective algorithm for doing so, they would be computable.

I can't see why it would. This would have mattered 20 years ago when there weren't more compelling ISA's out there. But that's not today's world: ARM is fairly ubiquitous and dirt cheap while RISC-V is a promising and open source up-and-comer. This seems like a relatively non-event (or worse: confirming that it's effectively a dying/dead platform) unless one has a significant investment in Power.
Yeah, it's the question I guess: too little, too late?

Because it's hard to beat the x86 mammoth for so many reasons (on top of my head):

- huge market share in servers/workstations

- Intel has more resources than pretty much anyone else

- AMD is now back in the game and started a core/performance/price war with intel

- x86 is "cheap"

- market shares for "cheaper" stuff will probably be taken by ARM and RISC-V

- so much time was invested in optimizing compiler, code and so on for x86 because that's what everyone has

- the Torvalds argument which is to say developper "will happily pay a bit more for x86 cloud hosting, simply because it matches what you can test on your own local setup, and the errors you get will translate better,". So as long as you don't have cheap Power workstations, it'll be a moot point. I remember working on AlphaPC and pretty much nothing was 64 bits clean back then, it was a huge mess. Now that part is solved but not everything else...

I definitely get the appeal for the Googles of the world to challenge Intel and for niche (internal) products, and for myself because honestly I don't really need an intel compatible CPU but in the long run, I am not sure it'll go anywhere...

Data Re-Identification:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_re-identification
"People with Asperger’s syndrome, the term still commonly used for one of the most well-known forms of autism spectrum disorder, bring serious advantages to the financial markets: extreme focus, a facility with numbers, a willingness to consider unpopular opinions, a strong sense of logic, and an intense belief in fairness and justice. But, like other autistic employees, they often feel alienated from their managers, colleagues, and clients. Sometimes they simply get fired."

I'm definitely one of these. I've never been fired, but have voluntarily left plenty of developer jobs out of sheer frustration. And then I fall right back into the same bs over and over again until I'm just at the point where I don't give a damn about any of it. What is wrong with fairness and justice, btw? Oh, I forgot, business is really about how hard you can screw everyone else! Sure...

Unpopular opinions? Again, that wouldn't be a problem if the so-called geniuses could themselves get over their own egos. What's really wrong here isn't people like me, I've been enormously flexible, it's that the biggest asshole always wins in the business world. THAT is what needs to end. It's not my ethics that are challenged. I have upheld my ethics. And it's not fair that people like me are considered to have some kind of "syndrome" when in fact it's the other way around. Am I perfect? No. But I realize that and understand that.

Lately I've been thinking that the phrase "your data" is a deceptive use of language. It encourages the fantasy that you have some kind of ownership over the data that your actions produce. And that you have some natural right to control how it is used.

The reality is that once data leaves your device, it's not yours anymore. It will almost certainly be used to track and manipulate you. If someone is talking about giving you control over "your data", it should be a signal that they intend to do the opposite. (like the OP).

Maybe we need to give up this fantasy of "your data" before we can embrace technologies such as ad-blocking, encryption, and frankly abstaining from using abusive software.

>Preserving your wealth in a risk free fashion is a service the government is providing to you. That's a big portion of the reason why the army, police et cetera exist. It costs them and you a lot more than 1% per annum

Sure, but all that doesn't come out for free (and it isn't even cheap), as you pay taxes on your income.

Once it is in your pocket the money is "free" from the costs that have been already detracted from it for all the general government costs.

And besides once you have your income, you can spend it (and thus give to the government some more taxes, i.e. VAT or Mehrwersteuer) or save part of it, investing it (and BTW paying some more taxes on the interests or dividends your investments - hopefully - produce).
IBM targets the scale-up market (few big, fast machines) with POWER instead of scale-out (many small, slower machines). Consequentally they are high performance but not particularly tuned for high efficiency, because performance is the more important design goal of the system.

Linus's Law (given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow) has never rang true to me. I've been using free software since '95.

Taken at face value, then yes, obviously more people looking at a specific piece of code will make it better. But this does not extend to the entire landscape of open source. Most developers, especially ones doing so as a hobby, would much rather work on their own new code. Not look at someone else's old boring code. We would rather reinvent the wheel a thousand times before touching a line of code written by someone else.

This becomes even more dire when you look at code no one wants to touch. Like TLS. There were the Heartbleed and goto fail bugs which existed for, IIRC, a few years before they were discovered. Not surprising, because TLS code is generally some of the worst code on the planet to stare at all day.
Meetings? Sure. Rituals? No. We have meetings because we're supposed to have meetings, whether we need them or not.

I tend to buy server level hardware for my own usage. It tends to last a LOT longer. With that in mind, it was roughly comparable to what I would have paid for a comparable Intel Xeon, and I like the fact that I know all of the code that runs on it (the only code that I can't actually change is the OTP memory that it first executes when it boots up, and even then you can inspect it!).

I was all ready to come impotently complain about the colloquial usage of "Fail" as a noun in a serious context like this but I see that it's "Failure" in the actual headline. Did the Times change it?

On a more substantive note, it's interesting that, despite embedding idlewords' tweet on the subject, the gloss on the article is more about China's actions and not really at all about the complicity of the American social media networks being "targeted."
