It's just more signal not to use whatever they end up producing. Whether it was an astroturf campaign or they used personal connections to get HN to re-rank things, it doesn't speak well to transparency, honesty or being customer-centric. I think my original comment was a very valid criticism of vaporware and vanity blog posts used in lieu of actual product information. Trying to sweep that under the rug is not a good look.

One thing I rarely see in these discussions is how I feel: I don't WANT to be friends with my co-workers. I don't want my social circle to consist of people with whom I'm interdependent for my livelihood and who share a very similar educational and professional background. I LIKE keeping the "professional" folks at arms reach, neatly contained by a screen in one room of my house.

>Having a requirement to link a SIM to an individual is not privacy erosion.

You're right, its not privacy erosion, its privacy annihilation.

>It does not mean that usage is monitored, and usage is the important privacy aspect.

Its not up to you or the government to decide what "aspects" of my privacy are important. Privacy is a basic human right and fundamental to human liberty and dignity. Attempts by governments and others to eliminate human freedom and privacy because of the inherent risks that freedom pose should be opposed by everyone.

Joyent was acquired by Samsung, and it's not one of the bullshit acquisitions that destroys the projects/products — Samsung is now using Manta/Triton (and ZFS on illumos/SmartOS) at their massive, massive scale.

> 1) Isn't a developer also making an investment when they build these high as hell micro-apartment apartment buildings?

The difference is that it's a value-creating investment rather than a purely speculative one. If you buy a piece of property for $500K and then build a dozen $300K condos on it, you come out with a sizeable profit, but each of the new residents gets the opportunity to live somewhere for $300K when they would have previously had to compete to pay $500K.

> 2) How do you avoid a race to the bottom in terms of housing quality when you allow said micro-apartments? Do we want a culture where the poor are living in barely livable wage slave pods while the rich are living in abundant villas?

You can't make someone's options worse by adding more of them. If you'd rather keep your existing two hour commute in exchange for a larger living space, that option continues to exist. But if people choose the closer, smaller apartment when given the choice, what does that tell you about whether having that option leaves them better off?
We worked closely with our reinsurance partner (Munich Re) to develop our underwriting and pricing framework. They are back-stopping any claims associated with our policies, and are one of the two largest and best-rated re-insurers in the world.

We haven't paid out any claims yet -- our oldest polices are only about three months old -- but have built out a claims management approach to ensure we're doing the right thing for our members (while also of course making sure there isn't claims fraud).

In terms of where these policies are needed -- you're right, in some cases business insurance is a requirement to close contracts (E&O and Cyber are frequent contract requirements) but in my own experience other lines are really valuable. I've seen meaningful property claims in other businesses I've been involved with, and there are good reasons to have EPLI and D&O as well.

Thanks for the comments.
I don’t really care how it got there. You posed the question of why someone “feels” they have a “need” to a civil right.

No other right has to face such scrutiny. Do you ask people why they feel they need privacy? Or why the feel they need free speech?

Your argument is based on your own personal dislike for a right, that’s arguing in bad faith.

Could be true, but personally I steer clear of these so-called "ecosystems" because of the lock-in effect, and especially if they are monetized using a SaaS scheme. For me, such tools are (in a way) broken by design, and therefore I wouldn't want to sell such tools myself.

Interesting idea - but it boils down to being a workaround for the lack of persistently connected and pervasively VPN-ed personal devices around us.

Yes, we could have a VPS per person being our fixed point on the Internet (and a fixed address...) but wouldn't it be better to return to the original idea of the Internet with devices always connected and routable? It might take an overlay network such as a DHT-like thing, it might be something IPFS or Torrents eventually lead to, but the end game is "everyone always on-line."

Actively. IIRC, they would sweeten wine with lead.
I just hope the “courseware” isn’t random videos with unsubstantiated claims.

That is to say I’d hope what they are watching is current and medically accepted information.

The article does claim that most of the ones accessed by profs are produced by professionals in their field —apparently in an effort to market their skills and help other professionals...

But one would hope there is some vetting going on.

> "The cash transfers were something like 17% of total local income — local GDP,"

So basically they gave entire communities 17% of a years salary and looked at what happened to the community afterwards. My naive reaction is that this would funnel significant amounts of goods from nearby communities to these enriched communities because it was such a huge amount.

These extra goods would let people spend more time enriching it, creating more economic activity here but less in neighboring communities who sold their goods. For example, the mill, it didn't have enough grain to mill before but now they had money to buy grain. Doesn't this mean that some other miller somewhere else in Kenya now has less grain to mill? Or is Kenya importing grain? So to me it seems like this study ignored the externalities by just looking at the effects on the local community and not the entirety.

I don't really buy the argument that more money increased economic activity, then the problem would easily be solved by just printing money. Many countries have tried that and failed.
> And even most Western countries have concluded that requiring IDs for SIM cards is a necessary measure.

> (As for renting a room, it would be crazy for a landlord not to know who their tenant is just for practical reasons considering land and tenancy laws in most EU countries)

That's circular reasoning, and could be applied to any law.

Edit: How it's circular reasoning:

"The law is necessary because it has been enacted."

"It's necessary to collect ID when renting a room, because the law requires it."

As for how "most Western countries determined it was necessary" - there weren't exactly large, public debates and demands as happened for e.g. gay rights, were there? The laws just came about, very discreetly.

Edit2, due to posting limit: I did no conflating - my point applies to both your statements, separately.

AMD added support for Raven 2nd gen APUs in 4.20.
In my experience, this was true maybe a year ago or before. But nowadays ddg is quite good at providing what I was looking for. If it can't, google isn't much better either, but makes it look like it is, making me spend more time sifting through the information all over the place. The "People also ask" is a huge distraction, why is that immediately after the first result? It can be maybe at 5+ place, but not at the top.
We shouldn't be worried while police doesn't loose their connection with their people and treat cases properly according to the law, but now it seems that they're being taught to use force for whatever reason in most situations. It's not only a phenomena that could happens in totalitarian states or broken states, now it reaches all countries.
First comment talking about what they are doing.
To your 5th question on pricing: in general, to get a new insurance program approved you need to file with the states. Part of that filing includes a list of rating factors. What state regulators seem to care about most are: (1) is your pricing adequate (i.e. will the insurance programs hold together on a pooled basis, so the state doesn't have to step in and backstop the claims) and, (2) is your pricing fair/non-discriminatory / good for consumers.

Beyond this, generally a smaller payload and/or container size for the application. With dependencies it can get pretty big, and this can slow down deployments (of course Rust's build time is quite a bit longer at times that offsets this).

There are guns around. Kids that want to shoot up schools could very easily gain access to one. And yet it doesn’t happen. Violent behavior is not a product to access to guns.

A rifle is not automatically an assault rifle... But also, if law abiding citizens have their own guns, they can shoot a mad shooter before they cause too much damage.

AWS launches Braket, its quantum computing service
Nitro doubles down on VMs instead of abandoning them, but it is indeed a good example of what integrated hardware and software can do.

What they did with Nitro is develop custom PCIe devices to handle storage and networking, so these devices' virtual functions (SR-IOV) are directly passed through to the VMs and now the hypervisor basically has nothing to do other than switching contexts.
I hate to say it, but it's perfect training for the world they'll live in once they enter the work force. It's the same thing there - you have no expectation of privacy when you're using the organization's equipment, if you want to do something sensitive you have to use your own equipment and data plan, and even if you do that, you risk being disciplined for doing something personal on the organization's premises/time.

How is that circular reasoning?

Edit: I have seen your edit.

I did not write that. You are conflating 2 unrelated topics and 2 unrelated parts of my comment although they were clearly separated.

In many countries IDs are not required by law in order to rent a house (afaik). In the UK (which I know most) it only became a requirement a couple of years ago, specifically to check that the prospective tenant was not an illegal immigrant (in fact the requirement is not to check IDs but not to rent to illegal immigrants...)

Landlords require an ID quite independently of any legal requirement because it does not make sense to entrust a real property to someone if you do not know who they are due to the financial liability and the legal procedures required to evict.

In some commercial and legal relations it simply does make sense to assert the identity of the other party.
