Costco does not do that because of the goodness of their heart. They do that because state laws mandate liquor stores to allow anyone to buy liquor without being part of a club or membership. You can thank your state's liquor lobby for that.
Both of you have a point! I believe that I have identified a crucial factor in my comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21972656) that identifies the root of the problem. I hope that it helps in resolving this disagreement.
But how does the "vintage marantz" sound compared to something you can buy with, say, an hour's research with an internet search engine? Including price?

I don't know the answer to that. But I do know from experience that while your average $15 headbuds are total, absolute, utter garbage, that if you do your research there are $15 headbuds that sound pretty good. They may not be $100+ quality headphones, but for something that fits in my pocket they're quite credible. Don't just buy whatever one has finagled their way into Best Buy or the checkout counter at your grocery store, but that's not necessarily everything the market has to offer.
That's only one theory. The other is that it is natural to expect people who exit high-level positions in public service to enter high-level positions in private industry, particularly in the same field.
It's not sad, it's progress.

These are not mutually exclusive concepts.
On the other hand, knowing what not to do is sometimes more important than what to do.

I rented one once and on a long trip I noticed a headlamp was out, I was going to just buy new bulbs and replace them, but once I saw the procedure, I called the rental place and drove 30 minutes to swap out the car.

If they are going to make it that hard to swap headlights, they should use LED's which (should) never need to be replaced.
> The way the system actually works is that the wants/needs of the capital-holders take priority over the wants/needs of other stakeholders (e.g. customers and workers).

The capital-holders did not (in most cases) get a "you are now free to hose your customers" card. The cases where they are free to do so are cases where there is a lack of competition. So "modern capitalism is not a system that will magically fulfill customer needs in the absence of competition". But if there is actual competition, and the wants of the capital-holders take priority over the wants of the customers, that's not going to work out well for the capital-holders.

Thanks for sharing this about your grandfather.

> The world changes and sometimes it sucks but that is how progress is made.

This touches on something I think a lot about. Massive driverless farms, in my mind's eye, looks like one puzzle piece towards the utopia of the future. But you do lose the human aspect. It reminds me of Star Trek where Picard is working with his hands on a vineyard. Capitalism is abolished so he does it just for the human reasons. There's no way he can compete with a replicator.

So that leads me to thinking about how we're in a really tight spot. The "human" present (past?) of salt of the Earth people making our products with a human touch and passion vs. the demands of the future utopia we want(?). It's a tight spot because capitalism mode is still active. The people who want to be passionate about their craft still have to compete commercially. In a future it might be that they can do it just because that's what they feel like doing. (super tangent: that reminds me of the "Primitive Technology" trend on YouTube where people re-discover technology just for the heck of it)

It also reminds me of a response I once got. I regularly use farriers as an example of a skilled job that has pretty much gone obsolete because of automobiles. Someone once responded, "have you seen a farrier at work? It's art."
Thanks! One tricky thing with that is spammers could use emauth with an email list to send people (at least anyone who clicks the link) to whatever site they want.
Progress on a societal scale for certain. Sadness on the personal scale as new generations mourn the loss of their family's historical way of life. Both can exist :)
> The answer for every single one is: because that's the name of the area the tube station is in.

It is exactly true!

Covent Garden tube station is in Covent Garden.

Elephant & Castle is in Elephant & Castle.

Cockfosters tube station is in Cockfosters.

Tooting Bec tube station is in Tooting Bec.

Knightsbridge tube station is in Knightsbridge.

Maida Vale tube station is in Maida Vale.

Aldgate tube station is in Aldgate.

Piccadilly Circus tube station is in Piccadilly Circus.

Queensway tube station is on Queensway.

Shepherd’s Bush tube station is in Shepherd’s Bush.

That counter example isn't in the article!

I didn't say anything about any tube station names not in the article.
And yet for Stonecipher it was a personally financially successful personal decision and none of the consequences will hurt him personally. When the rewards always go to the top (aka shareholders) and consequences always fall elsewhere, this is the predictable consequence.

We need some system such that shareholders and executives become personally responsible for these tragic yet predictable consequences.
What you say isn't wrong, but when you're asking what the most impactful changes to the current system would be, the absolute climate impact of flying vs. other sources of greenhouse gases needs to be considered.

Which is to say, the world-wide policy priorities need to be on transportation (other than flying), electricity production and industrial emissions [0]. Giving up coal and petrol cars has potentially much greater impact than giving up flying.

That said, when you consider the CO2 emissions that you cause yourself directly, a good rule of thumb is that as soon as you fly at all, CO2 from flying dwarfs all your other CO2 emissions. On the individual level, not flying, flying less, or offsetting carbon emissions from flying has the biggest impact.

This really seems like a burden of proof situation. If a bad actor is demonstrably trying to be a bad actor, then they are a bad actor, and we should make a big deal out of it. Saying "yes, they are bad actors, but can you prove they actually accomplished their goal?" just enables more bad actors. Perhaps the burden of proof that a bad actor did not accomplish their goal should be on the bad actor. Otherwise more and more will spring up, and we'll just throw our hands up saying, "meh, we can't prove they were effective".
Perhaps it should become a part of public middle school curriculum?
> The immediate retort is that John Deere's approach is maximally profitable-- but is it?

If your profit has to come from sales, but a lot of theirs comes from locking you into a maintenance profit, isn't this a big problem, when they can lower their sale prices much lower than yours?

See what happened when printer manufacturers figured out it was more profitable to sell you ink than printers, even taking a loss on the first sale. They all had to do it once one did. Everyone knew the printers were getting cheap and terrible, but still very few wanted to pay 2x as much on the initial purchase.

With games and other software as well, we see more and more monetizing with ads, DLC and subscriptions, even though most gamers would probably say this had made games worse overall.
That isn't the point. The point is that it's not the case that software failures are inconsequential. I'm sure there are some bootcamp grads who would like to work at SpaceX; I happen to have a personal contact who I wouldn't trust to code his way out of a paper bag who just got a job at Equifax.
Congratulations on allowing `"$(curl https://steve.fi/)" <steve@steve.fi>` as an email address, and not getting exploited!

How do you deal with atomicity though? A big deal in Rust is that you can only have one mutable reference to an object at any given time which prevents all sorts of aliasing issues, but here if you have two mutable fat pointers, one to and and one to b, and you attempt to write them without synchronization you're going to have a big problem, won't you?

This is the main risk with bitfields in C, it makes reads and writes that appear to be independent actually access the same memory cell behind the scenes. I'm not convinced by the idea of adding even more magic on top of it to be honest, it is true that packing and unpacking bitfields is annoying and requires some boilerplate but in the end that is how it the hardware does it anyway.
A lot of life advice given by other people, even successful people, is riddled with arrogance, jealousy, and sabotage. Its not intentional, but no advice is ever given in a vacuum.
I don't think the "lucrative premium burger segment" is how to take on McDonald's. And I don't think they can beat Five Guys.
Eventually it's going to come to a head that these cams do little at all for security. I have a wyze cam that I use to watch my pet, but I'm well aware that even if it caught a burglar in the act that the LAPD isn't going to do anything with that video or the case.
In my experience, you will be the one called in to fix it when Joe's solution goes pear shaped.

There are some other specific exceptions, like exclusive copyright licensing in the USA.
I learned to drive tractor on a John Deere 4240! It is good to know that my skills stacking and loading round bales, plowing, discing and harrowing are still viable.
Indeed. Also, many things that are good in moderation are bad in excess.
The same could be said for robots displacing humans in factories or trucks or anywhere else. That doesn't make it less sad for people's whose livelihoods depend on those positions just because its technological progress.
So what good do use based zoning rules do? I can see prohibiting heavy industrial or chemical in residential areas but outside of that it seems like more harm than good.
Then Boeing tried to deliver them just days before the end of the year but Qatar Airlines had them fly back. My guess is it really was that Boeing had not met the schedule for fitting the Qsuite and QA was having none of it.

I have an Optane 900P PCIe 3.0 4x 280 GB and a Samsung 870 Evo Plus 1TB in the same system.

The Optane benches 3x faster on low queue depth 4k random reads. 4k writes are comparable. The Evo Plus beats the Optane by under 10% on deep queue 4k reads and writes and like 15-20% on sequential reads and writes.
In some markets, yes. But in most markets there needs to be some minimum acceptable standard of QC & assurance. In the market for aluminum tubes hurling through the skies at 500 mph it's to everyone's benefit to make sure they don't come crashing to the ground.

Even markets for more innocuous products/services require some minimum acceptable standard or else the race to the bottom will give us more affordable but more dangerous products: Thomas the Tank Engine ($3) vs Deluxe Thomas the Tank Engine with Lead-Free Paint ($5)
They allow it because they make more money having consistent regulars who buy multiple items throughout the day, often entire meals.

It'd stop if it weren't profitable.
Are you arguing it’s better to go to war flat footed? I’m pretty sure the ayatollahs and their commanders would disagree with your strategy, not just the US.

I guess I'm confused why he calls ISAs a scam. They're remarkably straightforward and making 100k - 25% or whatever seems a hell of a lot better than making 30k

Yeah, Mahindra has some reasonably large tractors on their website, but the really Big Tractors you'll find from say John Deere aren't available. According to Wikipedia they're the largest tractor seller in the world, so maybe they'll expand!
Depends on airline. Southwest, for example, has Boeing-only fleet. JetBlue has only Airbuses and Embraers.

The odds of buying a JetBlue ticket and ending up on a Boeing are fairly low compared to flying Southwest.
> Also there is a significant delay of 10 to 100ms

I'm curious why there is such an apparently long delay?
Competition? There are lots of competing products around the world.
I thought about doing something like this, but I think that JS lacks the metaprogramming power and nice syntax to make a nice Rails-like framework. But good luck!
Does Netflix have a true "unlimited PTO" policy or do they enforce a minimum PTO usage per year? I've heard of places with unlimited PTO but they require their employees to take a minimum of 2 weeks a year (and strongly, strongly encourage 4-5 weeks a year).

A more complete way is to put all of the website data on the blockchain including metadata like https://etched.page does. Other files are added in a way that you can see how the page looked at the time. The user selects what files from the document is kept (.css is normally a good idea).

The website, and the metadata about when it was stored including a signature from etched.page can be unpacked directly from chain.

Saddam Hussein invaded Iran under America's tacit approval, and then CIA helped Hussein use chemical weapons on Iranian troops.

We recently had to bin a beloved TV, and were looking for a "simple" 4k TV (i.e. not a smart TV) to replace it, and were surprised to find that they simply don't exist!

We ended up uncovering a 6 year old 1080p TV that was still in the box at Best Buy.

All in all, this problem might present an opportunity -- there might be new markets for these types of devices (dumb TVs, tractors, refrigerators, air conditioners, thermostats). Given them a modern UX, but eschew all of the creepy features of modern tech (always-on monitoring, open tcp/ip ports, impossible to repair).

In theory these high-quality, low-recurring-revenue products should be easier to build, and similarly easy to market ("we don't spy on you, we break in ways that are fixable"). And you can charge a premium, because you're offering the freedom of ownership (ironic, I know).
How do you act on the air quality info? Seems to me that riding a bike or driving a car you'd be breathing the same air.
It's literally called Workshop Cafe. It's built from the ground up to be a workspace and cafe in one. If you want to enjoy your tea, go to Samovar.
But then you should probably only compare trips with somehow similar distances/times involved right?

Since I'm unlikely to fly my 20 mile commute to work, logging those miles under the "drive car" category isn't comparable, but is likely how I'd be in a car accident since that's something like 75% of my driving life. It seems you should only compare flights of 3 hrs vs car trips of 3 hours, or similar.

On this note, I'm surprised ISAs are not more common for higher education (ie. college, university). I know a couple of smaller liberal art schools (ie. Purdue) have been testing this.
I'm not an expert, but I think generally tractors have become much bigger and more powerful over time. This works well for the large farms they're marketed to as they have to prepare and plant huge areas quickly. Smaller farmers probably couldn't work the fields fast enough with their older equipment that can't pull super wide discs.

Transmissions have definitely become super advanced, but I'm not sure all the advantages of that. The main thing I would think of is that it can compensate so you can maintain your speed better even when you hit a rough spot.

In addition, newer tractors have a lot of nice, kind of gimmicky features in the cab. Things like satellite radio, working air conditioning, anti-theft systems, and GPS-controlled planting are nice even if they're not necessary.

That's a fair point, though, in these cases, I suspect cost is even more of a determinant (and as train travel is often more expensive than flying, trains would probably also look safer by that measure, too!)
Farmers need same-day access to replacement parts, which means a dealer with a full stock of parts within driving range. Belarus/MTZ tractors are low tech designs but have about one dealer in every state.
Duo is awesome. I discovered it because it’s the system my employer uses for 2FA and push notifications are so much nicer than having to enter codes.

But similarly, I’ve found it convenient for all my other 2FA needs from GitHub to RuneScape. So even then, it has value to consumers.
Looks interesting and easy to integrate.
We recently developed something similar as a module for the Caddy web server: https://github.com/TNO/auth-by-email

We developed it for a website that needed (simple) authenticated access for a read-only website, but we didn’t want to store the (hashed) passwords.

Additional features:

- email addresses for the whitelist can be stored as keyed hashes with the key provided at run-time. This way the whitelist is not on on disk in plaintext.

- Adminstration of the whitelist is done by email: upon entry of an unknown email address, the administrator gets an email with a link with which the new entry can be approved or denied.

- Kiosk-mode: user enters e-mail address on laptop, receives link on mobile, clicks link on link in mobile browser. Server detects that it is a different browser, gives user the option to login on session on laptop (for one day) or for session in mobile browser. Useful for giving demos.

865nm too, presumably it only passes as class 1 eye-safe due to an time x power x aperture exposure calculation...

I wonder how much we have to blame ITAR restrictions on >1555nm lasers for things like this not being more eye-safe on a by-wavelength basis.
There are classes of vehicles where the cost of LIDAR is less of a factor, e.g. freight trucks, taxis, public buses, which get even more economic benefit from Level 5 autonomy and can serve as a stepping stone to ramping up LIDAR production to bring the costs down.

Just because LIDAR doesn't make sense for the Model 3 today, doesn't mean it should be entirely discounted.
I like to think that these advances allow us to spend more of our time finding and creating new kinds of art. The common factor between now and then is humans. Humans are artful beings so I am not worried about losing that. We'll just have to look to different places for it.

Exactly - just like when I want to change the way my kids are acting:

I pick a random occurrence of a specific behaviour, punish them well after the fact and they inevitably draw the correct cause => effect linkage and never repeat the targeted behaviour again.
