> In the U.S., executive compensation has increased, on average, by nine hundred and forty per cent since 1978, according to one estimate; during the same period, worker pay has risen twelve per cent. Income inequality hasn’t been this extreme since the nineteen-twenties.

> It might seem disingenuous for people to try to change the rules after they have already amassed fortunes via the old, “rigged” system; some might also see their efforts as a way to generate flattering publicity or to alleviate feelings of guilt. But the group’s members say that they are concerned about the future of the nation. Some of them feel that severe inequality fuels corruption and has led to the election of Trump and other right-wing leaders across the world. Many of them believe that inaction on inequality could lead to the kinds of violent street protests recently seen in countries like Chile.

> the entrepreneur Nick Hanauer, one of the first investors in Amazon, gave a TED talk called “Beware, Fellow Plutocrats, the Pitchforks Are Coming.” After describing his multiple homes, his yacht, and his private plane, Hanauer argued that the U.S. was at risk of becoming a neo-feudalist rentier society similar to France before the Revolution. In an essay in Politico, he wrote, “Revolutions, like bankruptcies, come gradually, and then suddenly. One day, somebody sets himself on fire, then thousands of people are in the streets, and before you know it, the country is burning. And then there’s no time for us to get to the airport and jump on our Gulfstream Vs and fly to New Zealand.”
Not bad info, but it's incongruous that he's doing this from the front seat of his car.

Excellent point, the problem isn’t with the content. It’s with google showing it as a top result for ‘meatloaf recipe’.
The form:
Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf(true);
Is slightly more efficient than the subjectively uglier:
Boolean b = new Boolean(true);

So couple of notes on that. The "new" operator is cheap, but still involves an allocation. Oddly enough, one of the strangest bugs I found back in the day was:

Boolean a = new Boolean(true);
Boolean b = new Boolean(true);
System.out.println(a == b);

false

But with objects and wrapper types, the .equals() method is the correct way to compare two objects.
Even if you were off by an order of magnitude, that expenditure level is not justified to run a message broker service.
Still not getting your logic.

Let's say your a random person Betty, and you need to work 64 hours to support your requirements (40 hours a week + a part time 24 hour job). If the govern decided that 40 hours should be 32 instead and you get paid the exact same. That doesn't mean you then can now get another job at 8 hours, no that means you get everything you need in 56 hours.

More time to do other stuff besides work.

Sure there will be people that want to excel rather then stay stationary and maybe they'll pick up another job or another shift and work another 8 hours. That doesn't mean that's wrong.

All that it means is 90% of the people work less. You can't govern a nation is absolutes, you govern a nation with majorities. Nobody gets 100% of the votes, no bill passes with 100% of the populous support. So nothing is absolute.
That's very much like my experience: I went from 225 to 165 over 10 years ago. After I reached my goal, I figured I was done and I went back to my old ways and put on 40 pounds. I lost that and I've kept it off by just eating less. I added daily exercise about 6 years ago and I feel great.

The team that designed (which Commodore later bought) was called Amiga Corporation.

They were initially called Toro, but there was another company with that name.

As for the choice - they just wanted a nice friendly name, and Amiga was that, being simultaneously a nice sounding foreign word (for the English speakers) by with the known friendly Spanish connotation to many.

Funny to see this finally making mainstream news and the front page of HN. I worked as a research analyst at a long/short equities fund and one of the biggest bets we placed was based on ASF. The sell side was completely complacent about this, but we were tracking the disease closely and the math was undeniable - this was going to be a major, major disruption in global protein markets.

Bullets of the thesis were:

- African Swine Fever in China is putting half the global supply of hogs at risk.

- It will take years for China to get a handle on the disease.

- This will cause prices of pork in China to rise. China will have to import pork to fill the hole in order to avoid a political crisis.

- As a result, global proteins will enter a multi-year up-cycle. All proteins (beef, chicken, pork) will benefit.

This structural thesis could be played many, many ways.
Keynes conjectured reduced workload (or the equivalent: ever rising compensation) would be the natural consequence of increased productivity. What went wrong seems to come from at least two things he did not expect.

Firstly, rather than continuing the trend of increasing political power in the early post war period, the productive classes, including employees, have lost political power relative to the ownership classes and thus control of resource allocation decisions.

Secondly, outside tech and a few other vibrant sectors, capital sits idles or is used unproductively (for example in real-estate speculation) or even to destroy wealth (for example through expanded rent seeking). This is relevant because in these cases the increased wealth from increased productivity is just wasted rather than being used productively or at least spent on quality of life.

It's nice to see that somewhere, a few people are trying to address that first issue.

Last summer, family vacation. Tetons-Yellowstone-Glacier-Badlands region in particular, scenic backroads also. Was surprised at how extensive coverage (down to 3G) was, but there were large areas of zero connectivity as well. That's overlooking lack of wifi hotspots lest my cell tethering data cap run out. Kids were subject to >week of no TV/data/games, having no internet and no power (solar-gathered electricity used only for lighting & mapping).

From that perspective, methinks Starlink.com will contribute to significant population shifts, making such low/no-connectivity areas viable to those dependent on internet connectivity. I'd move to that region quick were data fast & reliable.

The article claims that keeping everything on one die raises interconnect bandwidths and lowers latencies over what would be possible in a conventional supercomputing setup. Connections are made over the silicon that is normally left aside for cutting the chips apart. Apparently that is a special process that they had to collaborate with a partner in order to get working.

I understand your architecture criticism, and think it has merit, but I'm not sure why Apache gets dragged into that. Apache Airflow is in Python. Apache Arrow is in C. CouchDB is Erlang.

There's a ton of projects Apache Foundation hosts that fit your description but it's a mistake, I think, to confuse individual projects with Apache in general. Bad enough that people confuse the license with the foundation.
That is a fair counterpoint.
Helps but doesn't fix problems. The 8 am or 5 pm slot at the dentist would still fill up awfully quickly. But working hourly I always had trouble getting any self-care or errands done, as did all of my coworkers.

I dunno if this is an example or a counterexample, but there was a lumber/hardware store near my old house that would close at 4, which sounds nuts unless you know that it's a favorite among professionals. Most times if you don't know until 4 that you need a material it's too late to do anything about it anyway. Doesn't help me though, trying to do a temporary repair on anything. Have to schlep across town to the Home Depot after rush hour to get anything done.
No, they're (mostly) user-submitted and user-approved. In theory new locations on military bases aren't allowed as of a couple of years ago, but a few slip through the process. And, inconsistently, old ones aren't removed.
You're right, I think an attack could be possible on some computers if the agents act very quickly. I don't think 30 minutes would be possible though, judging from what is said and shown in the original cold boot video:

At the very least, I think we need to train people in a lot more media literacy. But traditional approaches to that rely on media being scarce and expensive to create, which gave people enough time to carefully vet what they were consuming. As it becomes cheaper to create media than to vet it, we'll have the same problem as spam: it'll be impossible for humans to effectively filter it manually.

I think the real solution is automated vetting tools, so no information is presented without provenance. Basically, any time somebody sees an image or a video, there should be a link that lets you find out about the source, the editing, and who, specifically is vouching for it. And warnings for things that lack that. That still gives the viewer agency, but brings the problem back to human scale.

For prototyping relatively simple, UI-focused apps, yes, I think low-code and no-code solutions do have a place.

The key is having the awareness and discipline, when the prototype is validated and starts to gain traction, to throw it away and build the real production app using what you learned, instead of just accumulating months to years of technical debt and cruft on top of a prototype. If you launch with a "permatype" you will eventually find yourself facing a very expensive and painful "2.0" project.

I didn't want to unduly burden the audience here, so they don't get an aneurism and end up on n-gate.com webshit weekly. The fact that this processor design has no state register just cements my point that its designers were insane, as is plain to see from the nonsense instructions one has to write to get basic things done. Assembler is supposed to be simple, not a retarded masturbation.

Who cares what "his friends back home were up to" to that extend?

He could catch up with them when he's back, it's not like they'll have some groundbreaking change in their lives and he'll blink and miss it. Are they even close friends or just people he watches their selfies and shots of brunches on FB?

Best source I can find, suggests that travel times in Oslo are decent by world standards, and falls about where you would expect a US city of that size and density to be. It's conveniently right next to Portland, which was listed by the grandparent comment as a comparable.

The density required to have walking/biking/transit be realistic and efficient options makes over-subscribed roads a certainty unless you actively restrict automobile traffic. Private cars as the primary means of transportation works brilliantly in low to mid density areas, but fails utterly in high density ones.

There is no one size fits all solution for all cities. In my opinion it seems quite clear that there should be a negative correlation between density and private automobile usage in order to optimize safety and efficiency for all.

That’s not entirely true. A well (if deep enough) won’t be contaminated by surface pollution.

So a community could significantly benefit from moving from surface water to a well or a shallow well to a deep well.

And that’s not to mention other techniques that can create a safer water supply. Many of them are quite cheap.

No.

But these are not the products of the future. Another way to look at it, is that anything like this might be a more well understood component of another application or product, and the more they're used the easier they'll be to integrate. The products of 2020's will end up being highly specific to some niche / vertical and require lots of industry knowledge.

Not true. Cars are extremely space inefficient. The only way to have road infrastructure that is not oversubscribed is to have both low population and population density. But low density means having to travel much further distances to access basic amenities. It is not faster or more convenient to drive 10 miles to the grocery store than walk 2 blocks, even if driving 10 miles is a lot quicker out in the sticks.

Full-stack engineer looking for the next full-time opportunity in web development! Would love work with a mission-driven company.
Any examples of how a retail investor would play this?
This is fine, but not an answer to the actual question of whether Tesla is still shipping 2.6.36 on a Model S's Parrot system today. Parrot-the-company could have given an updated kernel in the year or so since the vulnerability was reported, or like you say Tesla could have taken on the mammoth task of maintaining an out of tree arch port themselves. It would be useful to know whether this happened, since if it's still running 2.6.36 it would be reasonable to consider the devices as extremely vulnerable in the wild today.

> but an upgrade from 2.6 to say even 4.4 is entirely out of the question

We did this kind of transition at OLPC ten or so years ago, helping Marvell upstream enough of their arch support code for a new ARM SoC to move us from their private 2.6 branch to latest public upstream (including the move to device tree), and with only a few kernel engineers working on it. Tesla surely has many times more resources; it's not entirely out of the question, but it's true that it's probably not economical for a minor support chip. Although, it's the minor support chip that's connected to the outside world..

In my opinion this behaviour shouldn’t be considered strange - “new” always means instantiation of a new object and the “==“ operator for objects always checks for object identity. Since both operands are objects, the above would apply.

This is another reason to avoid boxed primitive whenever possible.
Low code is definitely the future. Look at all the things you can do by calling the right APIs and/or all the scaffolding available. The clear trend changed after RoR and managed cloud services like Heroku popped up. Now the big players offer cloud services that would take months to code but if you pay up you have access (everything as a service). The lesson for developers is work on tools consumed by other developers and if this is not the case probably someone else is working on automating bits of pieces of your work.

But isn't resizing from 0 to n pretty much the same as allocating a fresh one of size n? (Not talking about the typical "resizing for n inserts one-at-a-time" approach, just going from zero to something.)

I mean, you have conditionals in the insert instead of unconditional allocation at the start, so maybe a little worse for things like branch predictors, but ...
