For some definition of “server”, yes. https://www.raywenderlich.com/5817-background-modes-tutorial...:

”Your app is only allowed to keep running in the background in very specific cases. For example, these include playing audio, getting location updates or fetching the latest content from a server.

If your task does not fall into these categories, backgrounding may not be for you. You may even find yourself with an App Store rejection if you try to cheat the system by using background modes outside the realm of their purposes, so consider yourself warned!”

If you read that, your ‘server’ either will only run for a finite time determined by the OS (in practice 3 minutes), or only run at highly granular times determined by the OS (”the system uses usage patterns to determine when to best fire off a background fetch. For example, if your user opens the app at 9 AM each morning, it’s likely that a background fetch will occur sometime before that time.”)

I think a X11 server that tracks updates for those three minutes of inactive time, and has a window manager that requests window updates where needed when the app becomes active could work, though.

(Disclaimer: these restrictions get relaxed over time on iOS. I may have missed some recent improvements)
Makes sense though. If Californians created a mess in California then people from other states are probably suspicious of those Californians moving to their state lest they create a similar mess there.
How about a Boltzmann simulation?

No physical anything at all, just organization of energy according to various rules that abstract a physical reality. A pure information based existence that depends on no ontological physicality.
But handwriting is important not only for the exact skill, but because it is one of the most demanding fine-movement we will ever do - missing out/not properly learning that in an age where we are truly plastic to it both mentally AND physically - I really do believe - will cause at least a big generational difference , at most rendering certain currently mundane tasks impossible for younger people.

They do IF you consider all out-flow as taxable goods/services... i.e. E.g. estate, investments, property, employee wages, land (would be calculated differently...not on spend but on just ownership), purchases. Investment firms would pay the tax on money paid out to investor, so it'd need to put that rate in there somewhere.

If you combine this with UBI + Single Payer + Free College -- then everyone will be able to afford the taxes they will pay on goods/services at the store/etc.

If the lowest safety net keeps just about everyone around 35-45k with medical safety, then they can probably afford 5-10k in VAT fees, and if they no longer peg benefits to companies -- people have more fluidity about where they work based on the fact they aren't going to lose their medicare for all.

This also means those who are fine not working and living on UBI ALSO drive up the rate of pay for those who DO want to work because supply/demand of workers will go down.
Literally no one is complaining here that they no longer want to work on the project. It's all about the deleted code, and the damage he did to the community by yanking the project from its primary hub (which also kills all gitter conversations, links, build pipelines e.t.c.)

You're conflating SCOTUS role as an arbiter of law vs. whether or not their decision is factually correct. A 5-4 decision is binding, but no decision is automatically factually correct just because SCOTUS made it, whether it is unanimous or 5-4.
Asset tax in combination with negative interest rates is the most equitable model in a capitalist society like ours. Use the proceeds to fund a universal basic income.
I was on a year abroad exchange and had a professor on his 80s (who was also on an exchange). He was teaching a class called Organisational Change. On the first day he said to the class, "what is the most important problem facing the world today?" After much discussion, the class settled on climate change. He then proceeded to tell us Organisational Change was not important in the context of real problems, and as we decided on climate change, that's what he would teach us. And he taught it well.

I'm a swede, who lived in the US 2009-2011. Back then I was amazed (and my friends as well when I told them about it) about how behind the US were tech wise when it comes to banking. From what I understand, we're in the forefront in Sweden, and now with all the bank startups, it's just taking off for real.

In Sweden the number of offices almost halved between 2007 and 2019. It takes time for these kinds of shifts to really take off. As a tech guy, I believe tech guys are often to optimistic about how fast non-tech _humans_ adopt tech (not because of tech, but because the change in lifestyle, which takes a lot of time for people). It's all the standard curve of adoption (first hype, then dispair, and then it truly happens and diffuses into massmarket).
Wonderful talk. Lot's of interesting points. Much of the technical went over my head though. But from what I understood, the main point he's trying to make was - we are stuck with a way of thinking in technology which was right when it was thought up, but has run out of it's usefulness.

I found his point, with respect to *nix, very insightful -
> Unix suited it's time. I worry it has ended up straight-jacketing the way that we think because that was quite a while ago. It still works, which is amazing. But that doesn't mean that it's tenets and it's way of work should be sacrosanct. We should feel free to examine every idea and throw them out if we feel they no longer have value for what we're doing.

The analogies from history and communities were also very interesting (e.g. meritocracy).

Other points that I liked -

- Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

- Understand the past, but don't let it bind the future
We actually have had people use Bounce to avoid paying for a hotel and then they'd sleep in the park. This happened in NYC at least once that I know of.
>Worrying about how much the 500 best-paid executives make

I think this is actually one of the most important parts about the issue of "CEO pay ratio". Many people don't seem to understand that the ratio that's talked about is among the X largest companies and those companies have grown larger over the years. It makes sense why the pay of someone that needs to manage more people would go up.
I received a “new” product I bought on Amazon that had something on it that could have either been a lubricant for the product or someone’s food. The entire product was very greasy and there was other weirdness that lead me to believe what I received was someone else’s return. I sent it back and ordered directly from the manufacturer. When I opened the package it only confirmed my suspicions. No greasy stuff. Paperwork that was missing in the Amazon shipment. Protective packing. Etc.

My conclusion was that the Amazon product was returned and no one even looked at it before taping it up and sending it out to me. Maybe the customer lied to them about why they were returning it. I don’t know.

Whatever it was, it certainly means I’m not dismissing this customer’s story out of hand.

I thought this talk was an interesting overview of some of the limitations of Unix (particularly Linux) and C, although I wish the speaker had discussed more details as to why C is not a match for modern processor architectures and how modern languages such as Rust address these issues.

Another thing that I'm curious about is how much familiarity the speaker has with Plan 9? Plan 9 from Bell Labs is the spiritual successor to Unix, created by many of the Bell Labs researchers who originally worked on Unix. The creators of Plan 9 pushed "everything is a file" to its limits. Sadly, although I have read some Plan 9 papers, I haven't actually used the operating system. I'm really curious about what the USB example in this talk would look like in Plan 9?

I do wish there was more development in alternative operating systems. I like Unix, but there were many ideas from VMS, Smalltalk, the Genera operating system for Symbolics LISP machines, the classic Mac OS, BeOS, Plan 9, and other operating systems that we can learn from and that would be very useful to have today. Also, today's hardware is quite different from the hardware of 50 years ago. We have multi-core CPUs, GPUs with hundreds of cores, very fast NVMe storage devices, and other amazing technologies. There has also been much advancements in programming languages, with more people willing to explore alternatives to C and C++ such as Python, Rust, Go, Clojure, Haskell, Swift, and many more, each providing different abstractions for dealing with diverse programming tasks. I wonder what an operating system for the 2020s would look like given the advances in technology and the lessons learned in the past decade.

I actually lived under the end state of this process: the Soviet Union. There _everyone_ worked for the government and made similar money (peanuts). Janitor? Here's 70 rubles a month. Engineer? Here's your 120 rubles. Run a factory? Here's 200. No "inequality" woo-hoo! Socialist utopia! Didn't work too well though.

I once bought an electric toothbrush sealed in the box at a Costco store which had clearly been used at least once.
That assumes that working like a dog is more efficient than having a 3 day weekend and free time to interact with your family and coming back in on monday fresh and alert.

It also assumes that workers A and B both working 40 hours (or more informally) are both working like dogs, trying to earn a promotion before the other. This is definitely true in some fields like finance, but not all.

The last assumption is that there is no economic benefit to added free time. Where would we be if the world was solely workers who didn't have the free time to engage with their own thoughts? We certainly wouldn't be on this website, or a computer for that matter.

We aren't computers with a job queue that can be maximized. We are animals that get exhausted easily, distrust our own warning signs, and have been known to do foolish things like jump from buildings if an artificial number dips below some arbitrary level. I think we can all afford to slow down just a little.
This is how it works in practice for the Rust compiler for the Rust standard library, and for a lot of foundational crates in crates.io. (Pretty much every well reviewed crate in cargo crate review either does this, or does not contain any unsafe code at all).

We also have tools that change for this for very large projects (e.g. cargo-geiger), and tools that help you test your proofs (e.g. cargo-miri). For some unsafe components, there are also proofs in Coq, and the proof systems for Rust unsafe code are making a lot of progress in both defining the rules that unsafe code must uphold in the unsafe-code-guidelines and the Rust spec, as well as in providing example proofs and a standard library of theorems that you can reuse for your own proofs.

Good with the change in California. I have seen a time trend where upper management started to get paid $100k per year, then it was $250k per year, $500k, $1M, $10M.

Then executives started motivating their VP salary with comparison of executive peers they have $500k so I should also have $500k or higher.

This causes income inequality which causes tensions in society.

In the past these type of income equality would be Kings, Noble men, then we transitioned to a period of more equality. Now its back again. You could say Kings and noble men have changed to ->high VP management layer in large corporations.

I think the term is Feudalism, where the ruling class has changed to VP from Noble men, Kings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-medievalism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism

High income inequality tears societies apart, I would advise not to go in that direction.

In page 5 of this Worldbank paper on income ineqality vs violent crime rate you can see a plot between inequality Gini coefficient, where a high number Gini is high inequality and crime rite. High income inequality is linked to high crime rates.

On top of that companies make refillable inkjets now. I own Epson like this - runs out of ink, add more ink from the bottle. I’m completely satisfied because there is no cartridge nonsense. In theory I can use cheaper non-Epson ink, but I don’t bother since cost is reasonable.
> President Rob Lapsley said the bill would keep companies from coming the state.

This is a problem why? California is constantly in a draught. It's resources are stretched thin. It has housing crises all over the place.. wouldn't 'thinning' the herd or at least slowing business growth there be a good thing long term?

Why must a place with as many problems as California has in terms of fire/environment/housing always increase business, when those businesses could move out to other places bringing more diversity across America. Maybe try Kansas or Tennessee? I mean if trucking is ever replaced we'll need some good jobs in the heartland.
I'm a Californian. As are many on here. May I ask what is it about Californians or the state that would make you say something that is borderline insulting?

May I also ask what state are you from?
I'll admit that I managed to find a position with an abnormal degree of freedom in a fairly applied field (epidemiology) but I don't think that's any more atypical than people with particularly nice jobs in the private sector.

But right now, I'm working on projects in emerging infectious diseases, healthcare associated infections, some philosophy of science stuff, some algorithmic work in network science, and something that can best be described as "digital humanities".
Another Boltzmann brain can pop up, which contains a short term memory of being previous Boltzmann brain. Sensory inputs aren't constrained though. Most probable sequence of such brains should feel like noise all over your senses, I think.
"I absolutely love this model."

You are right, the model is great for some people in some cases. However, its a model where companies use software to lock you out of being able to use your hardware. This is becoming extremely widespread. Consider also the farmers having to deal with the John Deere tractor licenses and being unable to maintain their own equipment (or Apple preventing you from being able to upgrade or repair your macs/iphones).

The problem is that as the practice scales, people end up with no real property rights, and are just ensnared in a hundred terms of service agreements that they literally cannot escape while living a normal life.

Lots of potentially dangerous things are harmless or even pleasant on a small scale.
Googled it so you don't have to:

"The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution places restrictions on the quartering of soldiers in private homes without the owner's consent, forbidding the practice in peacetime."
In the standard measure theory formalization of probability, that outcome set does have measure exactly 0.

Perhaps we could use a variation on in which somehow supports some infinitesimal values, but if one wishes to keep both countable additivity and have the distribution be uniform in the sense of translation invariant, then we run into difficulties.

I think your friend's impression is pretty accurate.

Industry in healthcare, especially the tech industry, has a long road of trust building ahead of it.

I think we're also a little jaded. We've been talking about how big, real-time data streams like pharmacy sales data, social media, etc. are going to change the game for disease forecasting since I was an undergrad. We're still not even close.
The cartridges are also special high capacity ones, but essentially you pay for the subscription to use the cartridges (which are sent for free automatically) at the cost of your data.

Page limits are defined by the tier you are on.

It would not make sense to allow the user to continue using them out of, because their retail price is generally above the subscription costs, so it would otherwise allow people to keep subscribing and cancelling.
Oh didn't see that but my point was simply to avoid labelling quote with the person.

HN and many other places use that quote to push pro privacy debate in a really different dynamics and world than author of that quote lived in. He couldn't have seen such malicious software taking over the world. While the quote on its may be a good ideal.
You can't imply author would take similar stance to software and privacy in drastic different settings where organization argue that to protect the liberty of state and freedom of its people, they require trampling on privacy of others or its own citizens.

Humans by nature are hypocritical and contextual. Assuming that is important in validating the position one might take. In the absence of evidence, just rely on the essence of words.
Game Delays Cause More Crunch
Is that why California’s population actually went up by 2 million ? The people leaving CA myth is more nuanced. There is domestic out migration of poorer and conservative population, which is replaced by higher income international migration. That story never seems to be told because it doesn’t jive with the narrative ?
Yes, a nicely irrelevant amount.
Ask HN: Accepting crypto as a payment method, your stories?
Interested to hear your experiences in adopting crypto (which I personally feel is still very much in the wild west stage), and given the amount of energy in the crypto scene at the moment, whether you have noticed changes taking place in terms of easier acceptance of it as a payment method or simply better awareness of it and what the mood with consumers is like?
>If there are 100 billionaires, and you tax 2% more, and 1 billionaire moves away, you're still up on revenue.

But that's not the only thing that happens though.

A prospective billionaire that is not yet a billionaire might think "there's little point in putting in all this work on this new project, because the government will take more of my money".

Another thing that can happen is that a foreign company decides to invest somewhere else because of that tax. They might look at the tax and expect it to discourage investment internally and look for potentially better prospects.

Why would you need freedom from the restraints? You are what you are, and the will to continue living is part of that.
It's a good question.

Possibly, In 10 years low code will dominate enterprise development, IOT and quite likely , also most consumer crud apps.

And today, many people develop very similar services across companies. In the future most of those services will be available online.

On the other hand software will become dominant in many more fields.

SO that will require more infrastructure, and more software engineers dealing with machine learning, unstructured data, data science, 3d objects and worlds, machine creativity, experts in optimization.
Oh yes - and it's seeing massive investments. Last RSNA - largest Radiology conference - saw >100 AI startups showcasing their products.

PCR doesn't necessarily generate large data sets.

And as someone who works in the field, there's definitely a stigma against students not aiming for PI positions at R1 institutions. There's some practical reasons for that - students who go into industry are less useful for "empire building", but it's also cultural.

I'm lucky enough to be in a field where this isn't as true, but I'm faculty in a multidisciplinary center, and the closer you get to pure biology, the worse it gets.
That is very low.

They should be paying a higher amount based on the amount of money they earned.

We could debate if they should be making so much %wise of total income.
Awesome talk. Especially connecting how leaving an entrenched mindset behind applies both to architecture and to diversity in our communities.

I have been hearing how California has been business unfriendly for the last 20 years, only for our economy and job growth to crush all other states. I mean just look at VC investment and IPO creation and the last decade and decide which state creates more business. By all objective stats, California seems to be the most business friendly state
Preferring a State over another State is exactly the same as nationalism, even if they happened to be united under the same country at a given time (see Calexit).

The Catalonians wanting to separate is also nationalism, despite the proposed country not existing.
