what if the slow stage is acquiring the heavy machinery (stamps, industrial robotics), and those are available with less delay than before?
To my knowledge YouTube does not ban content that is antisemitic. There is some evidence that antisemitism when couple to anything Nazi will be banned (video wise), but there is no blanket prohibition against antisemitism.
> For every day users, that is those wanting access to email, social media, an office suite, etc I will argue that Ubuntu or Mint is fine.

Yes, it is fine, but that doesn't mean people actually use it. I'm just highlighting that Linux is generally not thought of as a large market for most consumers.

The point about root is a good one.
Also due to the Stamp Act.
I think the ultimate goal is to trade efficiency (and the resulting "quality of life") for sustainability. I also believe our civilization is at a point where we have to seriously consider trading off convenience and material wealth for increased sustainability anyway, due to the increasing impact of some wicked problems such as climate change.
My comment doesn't say that hate speech is a crime. This varies between jurisdictions.
Did he say "I promise"?
When I lived in SF parking was $400 per month, plus as a young male my insurance was $200+ per month.

Most of the time I could take a bus or public transit, but when I couldn’t (like buying groceries) then I’d use an Uber. It was significantly cheaper versus owning a car, and it was absolutely an “essential” service at that point in my life.
This has been posted here before, but formulating this idea as "Counterfeit capitalism" really gelled for me:
https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/wework-and-counterfeit-ca...
There are two parties that decide what constitutes an intelligent, well-reasoned critique.

The first party is the owner(s) of a platform. For any owner, there is incentive to preserve power, but there is also incentive to not act as an oppressive villain.

The owner sometimes has ideals beyond power, such as cultivating free communication to build ideas for a better world.

But even the most callous, iron-fisted dictator can sniff the danger in being overly oppressive. They also sometimes recognize that unstifled communication serves as a competitive advantage.

As a consequence, free speech is less fragile than it seems. There are even whiffs of it in China itself:
https://www.cecc.gov/freedom-of-expression-in-china-a-privil...

The second party that decides what constitutes an intelligent, well-reasoned critique are the viewers of and contributors to a platform.

We have pitchforks, and pitchforks have sharp ends, but they can be dulled by overuse. Furthermore, the citizen's militia grows weary when called upon too often.

And thus, when the rallying cry is sounded for the non-event of a crude slur being censored, we're eroding our own power. We're jumping the gun, which should fire only when we think an intelligent, well-reasoned critique has been suppressed.

Making a slippery slope argument is betraying a lack of understanding about the above complex dynamic.
Yes. The strategy seems to assume that network effect is everything and neglects to recognize that, at the end of the day, PRICE is the critical factor for determining demand of these services (food delivery, taxi service, etc). Once the subsidies end, behaviors will change so you must have an actual plan for making your business profitable.
That's what got us to stop, too: a few years back we stopped using e.g. GrubHub and Eat24 because they were not only really late (over an hour and, memorably, once never showing) but lied about it blaming the restaurant, not knowing that I'd called them first and confirmed that our order had been ready as scheduled. They tried to offer credit on a future order until I told them my next call was going to be the credit card company.
Implying that “the Left” and the Communist Party of China are in any way comparable by referring to them collectively demonstrated a remarkable lack of political insight and a remarkable degree of intellectual dishonesty.
|At least here in AZ there is no wait to get any sort of test

False. People in AZ are waiting in their cars for hours to get tested.
> There are numerous profitable companies in Europe and Asia doing the same thing as Uber.

How can Uber be doing the same thing if Uber is losing money doing the thing and the other companies make money doing it?

Even if one or more sections of Uber are profitable, it's likely that those sections rely on functions performed by unprofitable sections of the company. Disentangling those elements isn't simple. It's possible that Uber as-it-exists-now can never transition to profitability but a company-like-Uber-in-some-ways could be profitable in the future.

Well, it depends on a lot of initial conditions that outsiders can't see. If Tesla wants to throw up a steel frame building in an already empty field in Texas or Oklahoma, that's not hard to do. It would take a few months. And during the Model 3 production ramp up, Tesla put together an entirely new assembly line using on-hand spare parts in a matter of days. So if they have an entire Model Y assembly line sitting in storage rooms in California, Nevada, and New York, which very likely they do, it might only take a few weeks to truck all of that to Texas or Oklahoma. Of course that completely ignores quarantine complications. Which might actually help Tesla. Right now, red states are so eager to get positive "restart the economy" news and millions of recently unemployed people are so eager to get jobs that Governor Abbott of Texas might cut mountains of red tape to green light whatever Tesla needs. I would say it's totally feasible for Tesla to be producing Model Y's from a new facility in Texas by the end of 2020. Certainly not at high volume. Potentially from a tent in the parking lot of an unfinished factory building. They've done it before.
IANAL but I think a major component of contract law involves ensuring that the contract is "reasonable". This is what I meant by "play nice". I realize that the definition of "reasonable" is complicated (thus "law school"). But for the purposes of an HN discussion, I think it suffices.
I think it would be really easy to create an app that would also listen to a very specific phrase (like "Hey Merlin", simple pattern match, with a few minutes of training for your own voice) and then start Google Assistant.

It's so embarrassing saying Hey Google all the time, and for me, it just feels like I'm a corporate bitch, tbh. It's true, which just makes me feel worse :D
In a nutshell, because the USA is a capitalist society that's governed by rule of law.

So regulators don't get broad power to approve or deny any business deal based on ad-hoc decisions about whether they think the deal will ultimately be a net positive for the economy 10 years down the line. They get much narrower powers to protect against a specific set of things as laid out in whatever laws comprise their job description. And Congress doesn't usually get involved until after there's already a big smoking crater surrounded by a bunch of upset people.

And don't think that the supply of "smart, creative people in a position to capitalize" is limited to the CEOs of unicorns or anything like that. The supply is actually the total number of entrepreneurial-minded people with an idea and a desire for some capital to help get it off the ground. And the scope of ideas is not limited to silicon valley startups. I'm talking about people the pool of money could throw its funds at, not the (much smaller) set of people it has thrown its funds at in the past, or the (even smaller) set of those people who get bashed in the news.
Rest of the companies doing that are in more or less the same boat. Tesla ahead of all of them in bringing some pieces of the autonomy to market.
WeWork is a terrible idea because it has no advantages over Regus/Industrious except for yoga-babel and a much higher valuation.

It is akin to valuing Ford at 10x General Motors because Ford has a yoga instructor as CEO
Jack Welch retired in 2001 after twenty years as CEO. "Upon his retirement from GE, Welch had stated that his effectiveness as its CEO for two decades would be measured by the company's performance for a comparable period under his successors"

If we use the long-term yardstick that Jack Welch suggested we use, he does not come out looking good. We are now at roughly the two-decade mark and GE is trading at the same price that it did in 1992 and 80% below where it was when he retired.
Dot-com bubble had similar business ideas as there are today. For example Webvan, online grocery store and delivery company.
Still stand by what I said. COVID response by Alameda County was overblown (including extended stay at home orders), California chose not to provide $600k in training funding to SpaceX after Tesla and SpaceX have created tens of thousands of jobs in the state (because they're non-union shops), and Fremont is following rigorous guidelines to mitigate the threat of COVID infections on the factory floor. Your only legitimate complaint is pursuing a whistleblower (that's fair, and uncalled for on Tesla's part).

How unreasonable must your jurisdiction be before you're permitted to take your business elsewhere and it isn't slandered as "extortion"? OSHA regulations apply in all 50 states, and both taxes and land costs are legitimately lower in Texas. Is every other company that has moved out of California extortionist?
$20/hr for blue collar work in a lot of Texas is very high. For example, Amazon was paying $12/hr in the San Marcos facility until they raised wages recently, and that was considered decent pay. $8-10/hr is pretty common for unskilled labor here. We have a lot of tech and oil and gas that influences the average income but tons of people here are working for way less than $20/hr.
Props to the guy selling them at cost. Easily could have made an additional $50-$100 if he wanted to.
> Yes, I can't drive and still only take public transport.

Lucky for you that this is an option. For many people less fortunate than yourself it is not an option and they rely on taxis such as Uber.
Google has and does block competition, and they've attracted the attention of antitrust regulators for this on multiple occasions.
Reminded me of this New York Times article where they got hold of location data from 12 million americans.
I think NRK found some inspiration from that.

Think of all the stupid jobs that wouldn't have been created if they didn't make their stupid investments.

There'd be a total collapse in the stupidity market.
Maybe the time has come to flatten the growth curve. Infinite growth in a system of finite resources is unfeasible.

Let's face the fact that pronatalist agendas have been pushed by the major religions for centuries in order to better control the population.
There was plenty of that with the first .com implosion. Many e-commerce sites actually did have customers (eg. my sister swore by Kozmo.com), it's just that they got them by selling goods for less than they paid for them, and then the customer base dried up once they had to actually make a profit.

The big scam now is in customer acquisition: companies spend more in marketing than the LTV of a customer and make up the difference with VC cash. This is a little bit easier to hide: you have positive gross margins, explosive revenue growth, and the appearance of a sustainable business, but once you take your foot off the gas and stop spending VC money your existing customers churn away and you can't acquire new ones. Google and Facebook are also making out like bandits from this, and may get hurt significantly when the bubble bursts.
This discounts the difficulties in buying a car when credit is bad or nonexistent. I was in this situation, the only people who will give you a vehicle are loan sharks and scammers. Partially this was my own ignorance (see: awful credit). Partially it was my own bad credit itself.

It also discounts the horrible stress that adding a known monthly bill can cause, when Uber is more flexible, pay-what-you-need. And I was never as bad as many others, so I can see how the least-prepared and least-financially-secure could see Uber as a viable use, either once-in-a-while (e.g., missed the bus), or for regular use (paying $12 for a two-way, 1 mile trip through a crappy part of town can pay for itself if you avoid an hour of walking and get an hour of working).
Keep in mind, this isn't a brand new line/model. They have an existing line in place in China at least, they just need to copy it. They also built a new line in a giant tent in CA in a few weeks.
The link has a miss-spelling at the time of this comment. The correct link [1] is below.

The scenario the author talks about in the lede (would you chose to allow inequality) is too simplistic; why resort to magical thinking? I think a better question is whether a someone is willing to allow a more progressive income tax if that would increase GDP, even if that person would see their tax increase :-)

Yes, you should. AMD is significantly different than it was almost 14 years ago. They wipe the floor with Intel that's still using their years old 14 nm process. AMD simultaneously has higher performance, more cores, lower energy usage and lower cores. It is categorically better in all fields.
It's a tricky problem. I've been battling with it on MVP.css (https://andybrewer.github.io/mvp/) but I think I found a good solution for responsive tables with some help from the community.
Nice reference to 80 Days Around The World, emphasizing that this 80 days is the opposite: no travel or adventure
Rolling averages introduce a lag.
They are fine but you will need to replace thermal compound and reflash bios. The miners usually under clock the GPU and overclock the memory.
If you’ve just given birth do you want women like Sheryl Sandberg to be allowed, who take three days or a week off and then are back at the office? Or do you want everyone to compete on a more level playing field, where everyone must take three months off? Because those for whom family comes second to work will get promoted faster anyway but if you let them work even more the advantages just compound.

I just tested it via two methods:

1) VPN'ed into work with Firefox in Private Mode (I posted from Brave)

2) Had a friend test it. He's on Chrome from a different city.
we aren't there yet, though. a lot of successful startups were founded during recessions. everything is cheaper in a recession - office space, perks, salaries, equity %, etc. this helps every $ go farther.

but we aren't there now and may not be this round. it's a unique event. I can't imagine starting a company now and having the whole team be remote when your #1 goal in your series A is to execute as fast as possible and communication is one of the key limiters.
That's a good approach; the other alternative is to use F-Droid client, but it comes with its own bugs.

There's a huge gap between "the economics of ridesharing are not obviously unprofitable" and "the economics of ridesharing justifies the valuation implied by the investments in uber lyft etc".
> Timing a pregnancy is not as uncommon as you'd think.

I'll take a chance and guess your gender. Timing a pregnancy is not as easy as you think.
I disagree that the suburbs are the only thing that people want. The decision was made for people, not by them. Existing development patterns reflect the regulatory restrictions, as it's illegal to deviate from the way that things have been built. Want a walkable neighborhood with a corner store, parks, and transit? Good luck, because way more people want that than what has been allowed to be built, so prices have gone through the roof on the very few locations that have that.
Especially any individual Googler
I get why Android is doing this, even if they're not openly writing it: they want to get in control of malvertising which downloads untrusted binary code that is not in the APK and thus scannable for the Play Store security scanners.

What I don't get: why aren't they creating a separate entitlement for runtime code execution that requires manual approval in the Play Store?
Can you post or link to them?
When they eventually pick up, play back the sound you hear when you accidentally dial into a fax line.
I don’t understand the shock here, Google doesn’t even allow for Taiwan to be considered a country on its search page. When you search for Taiwan it shows the map picture and says ‘Taiwan’, but Germany for instance shows the map picture and says ‘Germany Country in Europe’. This is the very top of the page on the mobile layout. Doing things to avoid disgruntling the CCP is standard operating procedure for Google at this point.
Ah, see, now that's good. I don't use macOS enough so I've not known about that.

> It'd be nice if Apple had functionality to easily have your own root signing setup alongside theirs, so that we could take advantage of all the signing mojo as well.

Yeah, that would be very developer friendly without breaking their shields too much.

Also no argument that macOS isn't modifiable. However with the general dismantlement of things like AppleScript I feel like we've already passed the golden age of the OS.
By NVIDIA supporting FreeBSD you mean that half-assed thing with binary drivers allowing you to get a picture, but no CUDA?

Or is that old information which i should forget?
This is definitely looking more and more true.

Consider the fact that the Rift-S has been out of stock for months. Oculus continues to re-stock the Quest (which sells out within 24h), but we haven't seen a restock of the Rift-S in probably 3 months?

Their "Del Mar" which is coming up, is very likely not going to be a tethered headset. My money is it will be standalone like the Quest.

Oculus is trying to get the masses to adopt VR and I salute them for it. There will always be headsets like the Valve index for enthusiasts.
> Women are not a minority, but they're a protected class.

No, in the US, women are not legally a protected class. Gender is a protected class, which prohibits discrimination against women, or men.
Haha that's amazing. What's the latency on this though? I always assumed firmware written in python would be slow for a use case like a keyboard.
Hate speech can be defined. Of course, not everyone will agree on the definition, but that's beside the point.
It is not subjective in any interesting sense whether a given group is a minority within a particular society. It's simply a question of counting.

The connection, as various people have explained to you, is that minorities within a society tend to be more vulnerable to hate speech and its associated effects.
Well every layer man made transparent changed his life, and it became a chase, technologically driven mainly, to do so ad infinitum. Even though we're seeing resistance now because ignored side effects are biting us, I don't know if societies won't keep digging beyond QM so man can have room temperature super conductors and backyard fusion to power neverending fountain of youths. Until their sanity disappears.

Believe it or not, when after a certain period of time one gets only 70% pay but if they fall pregnant again the system resets and they get to be home with 100% pay for a year or so, someone is going to get out the calculator.

Witnessed this with my eyes many times.
I'm skeptical of that story. I know a Russian on Facebook who disputed it. He said that the Red Square building described in the report doesn't exist, and provided a Google Maps view of Moscow to support his claim. It's also curious to me why the Dutch even would allow APT29 to get away with their activities at the time, if they truly had access as deep as they claimed.
Right, it is AFSK. The FM transmitter is something off the shelf, for car radios and such, meaning it has a low pass filter installed, along with spitting out a 19khz stereo carrier.
From the article I read on Electrek on this, they speculated that in the first phase this could be a general assembly only. Considering they built an additional line in a tent in Fremont once, 6 Months is not crazy.

10m seed stage companies surely don't exist.

Banks historically gave 10m loans, to businesses. And today we have really good knowledge management tools. So isn't it possible to build some process for that for seed investment ?
Anecdotally, playing a high-intensity video game like an FPS or RTS, wakes me up and allows me to fend off sleep for a long period of time.

I hear about the cost rising but I guess it still doesn't compute for me. My mom paid for college by having a side-job working at the phone company back in the 70s. There's no planet on which a student would make the money required to pay for college in-full with a part-time job.

Outside of the bubble that is HN tech workers - wages have stagnated. The wealth being generated is severely concentrated at the very top. I think your average person walking down the street would gladly exchange their $2 gallon of milk for a $4 gallon of milk if they had a $40k/year salary vs. their current $7/hr.
I dunno. I find services like Uber and Lyft pretty essential. In my smallish city, getting a cab pre-Uber was near impossible. My friends and I had the personal number of 2 cab drivers, and if neither of them picked up, good luck.

Even with the highly publicized Uber failures, no Uber I've ever taken has been worse than many of the cabs I was in prior. Something as simple as knowing the price up front has been key when traveling.

So sure, of course they want to stay an ongoing concern. But, services like Uber and Lyft have become essential to many people.
>Google has and does block competition

Can you share some of these occasions?
PowerDNS turned 'abysmal failure' into open source success
I migrated from JuiceSSH to Termux because it allows you to run remote diagnostic locally, ping, traceroute, schedule crons and even vibrate your phone and display notifications to alert you. It also allows you to port forward ssh, whereas in JuiceSSH you have to pay for that.
What's the actual restriction? If it's literally just exec on apps outside the app directory, why not shim the dynamic linker and rewrite calls to exec to use that instead? Are there additional W^X protections that prevent mapping executables outside the app directory PROT_EXEC? (Note I have no idea how Android works so I may be missing something very basic).
the only open model that worked at the time was linux distro package repositories

And also at the time, the company (Lindows/Linspire) that created an app store based on that foundation caught hell for doing so (my first job out of high school was doing QA on that app store).

So even if it was necessary to have app stores for consumers it wasn't an easy transition to make.
> Do these memory management improvements make it possible to fine-tune a larger one?

Unfortunately not yet; I need to implement gradient checkpointing first. Memory-wise, the results for finetuning 124M are promising (<8 GB VRAM when it used to take about 12 GB VRAM with gpt-2-simple)
