Race based slavery began under capitalism?

Didn’t slaves build the pyramids? Was there capitalism then?

Have you read Sapiens by Harari? It touches on the fact that the Neanderthals and other species of humans died out ... perhaps due to genocide perpetrated by Homo sapiens, prior to the advent of capitalism by any measure.

For a while we had a recruiting message in the reddit headers. We also had this for many years:

> Remember when Trump floated withdrawing from NATO?

I remember when Trump took no actions at all toward pulling the US out of NATO, and did nothing other than use it as a rather dumb prop to try to coax NATO allies into meeting their spending obligations.

> Remember when Trump stopped funding the WHO in the middle of the worst pandemic of the past 100 years?

I remember when the WHO cooperated with China to knowingly lie about the pandemic, including trying to forestall borders from being closed, trying to forestall the isolation of China, lying about the nature of the virus including the risk that it posed, and committed global genocide in the process.
Not all that different from FOMO3D ...
> Will the public feel safe enough to go back into theaters all at once before theaters run out of money as if nothing happened?

the need for theatres and cinemas have not disappeared. They will come back once the virus situation is under control (in say 2-4 yrs time, when vaccine is available). Therefore, the jobs will come back in 2-4 yrs time.

The companies will have been different - the old incumbents will have bankrupted by then. But that doesn't matter - as long as there is new investment, new companies will spring up to soak up the demand.

Same with office spaces. It's not like the need for office space will disappear indefinitely.
I don't know how you can take this data seriously. It's comparing population Vitamin D levels vs. population COVID mortality for n = 12 countries.

A lamp is a minute or two and you're done. Sun requires 15+ mins and if you spend too much time you get sunburn. Using sunscreen works against you.
One thing I don't understand about these lamps, does the narrowband UVB radiation from these lamps create skin damage like normal sun radiation?

To rephrase would overdosing something like this actually create skin burning/tanning similar to tanning beds?
Yeah, seconding this as a good idea

Every HN post has something negative at the top.
It's ok. I expected this. Consider this a criticism of HN. Maybe one day I'll email you and give you a reason. But I can always just make a new account.

Basically I tried using the flag multiple times when I'm insulted and you have failed repeatedly to remedy the situation and there were even times you basically unflagged the people who have been offensive. I'm left in a situation where I invested a lot of time into writing comments and I have to just take it and I have no mechanism to protect myself because every response I make is an opening for them to subtract my karma.

It's emotionally taxing to invest time into writing comments here and emotionally taxing to read insulting criticism and just sit there and take the insult when you've basically been ignoring my flags.

The fact that you selectively moderate everything has led me to realize that it's not worth it to invest time to write my opinions on HN. What's outrageous is that I've been here 9 years and I just decided it's not worth it to let this bad actor insult me and sit here while you basically ignore the whole situation.

The only reason you responded is because I decided to defend my self and this amped up the situation two fold. Other than that his rude responses would have been completely ignored even if I flagged his posts.

>I'm sad to ban someone who's been here for 9 years and made many positive contributions,

This is just not true. You aren't even aware of what positive contributions I have made to HN. I've just been here for a while.

Total functional programming indeed is another example of a valid approach to weakening cycles and thereby guaranteeing termination. Although it works for that, it is too restrictive for my taste.

I wish people would stop posting studies like this.

It's a junk correlation study, done at a particular time when Southern Europe was hit the worst. If they did it now, with Britain surpassing all those countries they'd get a different result.

Maybe they should do a correlation study of "Vitamin D vs Estimated number of Covid cases in country at date of lockdown" and see what they get.

(Also I'd note they conveniently fail to point out that Northen Italy was hit much more badly than Southern Italy).
This is a cool concept, though it appears to only care about the total number of people being below a set threshold regardless how people interact (i.e. maintain social distancing)

Hi hacker,

So I were trying to understand evented, asyncio, epoll etc...

I understand that instead of waiting and blocking when doing IO, we will continue to running, and telling the "kernel" or "lower stack" that we're interested when the data arrive...

but how does the kernel or the lower component that really do IO "know" when the data is arrived to notify us? Isn't it just polling at the lowest layer? something has to wait there and keep checking?

I get the idea of GCP to play in the 'VMware <-> cloud arena', but I do not get Project Pacific.

Is VMware developing it because their installed base shrinks as people are moving to bare metal K8s and they simply need to counter that? Or is is there some other benefit such as retiring some parts of their codebase e.g. replacing VSAN by CSI?

Any idea what VMwares motivation is?

You don’t always need a big n to make causal conclusions. Do you know the story about the king who gets served a soup? Because he’s frightened that the soup might be poisoned, he gives it to his food tester first because the king reasons like this: „If my food tester (n=1) doesn’t die, then I probably won’t die, too, when I eat the soup“.
Many great philosophers have argued, that people should use their common sense instead of requesting big tests. Therefore no big n‘s are needed. Start thinking.
For me this practice led a strange moment where a Girl in the krimi Wolf (or Wulf? Or could be Kommissar Rex but I think it was the daughter of Wolf himself), listened to an audio tape of a robbery and the voice never matched any of the suspects... Then she recognized some actor (Danny de Vito perhaps, it was 20 years ago at least?) and I was like wut? Danny deVito does not speak German, let alone like that. But then I learned you indeed have one actor doing the life time of an English speak actor :)

He's speaking from experience. But, if your circumstances aren't exactly the same, the outcome may be different.

Credits pages in software, accessible from the main UI, used to be very common, and having names there -- or embedded in source code -- doesn't violate a user expectation.

Server software sending 'Server:' headers also doesn't violate user expectation, though some people prefer to turn these off.

Custom headers that cannot be turned off have a higher likelihood of violating user expectation.

To the OP: in open source projects, some users will attempt to remove undesired behavior, within the rights afforded by the license, but these exercises of copyright can interact adversely with trademarks and other brand protections, and with the surrounding (human) infrastructure and information-space around a project (e.g. names, URLs, references to services, secrets).

Your attempts to reconcile such a situation are nontrivial, and both inaction and action have a high likelihood of resulting in bad press (e.g. user confusion about fork, or heavy-handed enforcement). The harm will persist long after the original situation has been resolved or mitigated.

Something like that seems to make sense considering the investment is relatively tiny and that the factory is gonna be about 1/5th the size of the usual TSMC factory.

You can line any reasoning up against chance. Theres a chance that the sun will rise tomorrow. Measuring a prediction against chance says nothing for the validity of the knowledge or structures you used to build that prediction.

People have to build paths through life that span years and decades, one does not need chance or randomness to know those plans might fail.

If you have a file consisting of some text, the file might or might not end with a \n

If you have a file consisting of some lines of text, the file will end with a \n because a line of text (unlike text generally) is typically defined by matching ^[^\n]*\n

Therefore, `echo` with no arguments returns a line of text which contains nothing.

Absolutely not. Marx's conception was that due to the internal contradictions and failures of capitalism, it would eventually and progressively lead into a communist revolution through at some point a revolution.

The proletariat revolution in itself, according to Marx, would be slowly triggered by the advancement of material conditions, that is the evolution of the relations between classes, up until a point where the relations between the proletariat class and the bourgeois class would lead to revolution. The predictions made about the upcoming contradictions of capitalism by Marx have been quite accurate, altough not perfect; he didn't expect them to be.

This specific scenario that Marx was predicting never happened. Late stage capitalism has not been achieved until recently. For example, Marx expected the revolution to happen as all classes would be absorbed into either the owner class or the proletariat class, which has only happened in the past few decades. He also expected it to happen when the capitalist, automating most production, would start to run out of consumers as they would not be employed anymore: we see this contradiction being paliated through creation of demand and creation of useless jobs, which are not sustainable solutions. He also predicted that beforethen, the middle class would be absorbed into either the bourgeoisie or the proletariat, with people formerly of middle class becoming reliant on rent and debt in order to provide for their essential assets. This transformation is in the process of happening.

I am also skeptical of any grand theories of history. However, be fair in your criticism of Marxism. Dialectical materialism posits that eventually, communism would overtake capitalism the same way that feudalism overtook slavery and capitalism overtook feudalism. It also posits, and I think that this is a very good observation, that political economies are based on class relations and that these systems progress, regress or succeed one another by class relations moreso than individual action. Marx's theory could be read to predict that communism will overtake capitalism in five decades or in a hundred. It's core assertion is that the next dialectical shift will be about the proletarian class and it's relationship with the owner class, and that when capitalism is supplanted it will be through the abolition of the relationship between worker and owner through the vehicle of private property. This seems like a fairly rigid theory that holds all possible observations.

First, Fermi estimate. You can estimate how much something weights, costs, takes to construct etc.

Then you become particularly good in it when you read texts from this area, so you gradually replace your estimates with data. And correct your errors when they disrespect reality too much. It's harder to estimate CO2 emissions from cement production from first principles; but you may have actual numbers from typical plants, which include inefficiencies.

All of that favors data and usually requires calculations, and also often requires understanding of natural sciences - conservation laws, energy conversions, speed of processes - and some economical modeling too.

A collection of links with data and models is on Azimuth Project - https://www.azimuthproject.org/azimuth/show/HomePage .

I haven't noticed any high power ones, but I wasn't specifically looking for them. I've heard Ubiquiti has some PoE stuff but no idea about quality.

For normal bulbs, the two good brands seem to be Philips and IKEA. Philips has their Hue system, which in addition to WiFi/Bluetooth cloud variants also have local ZigBee variants which don't need an external service to operate with full functionality. I've also heard good things about Ikea's software.

With normal bulbs there's no active cooling (fan). At least in the US they are sold as 60 watt equivalent (800 lumen, 8-9 watt) and 100 watt eq. (1500 lm, 15 watt). With the higher powered ones there is a good chance that the power supply will die to heat within a few months to years. Many brands have had issues with that, including IKEA. Philips still sells some of the higher powered ones; maybe they have some special system to ensure longevity. If you want to buy those it would be good to check if there are any bad reviews.

But basically from what I've encountered on the web about normal LEDs it seems you can't go wrong with or beat the higher-end Philips/IKEA bulbs.
