>Or are they just extracting value from near-monopoly market power/

Yeah I do wonder, if you somehow could, could those companies as they stand now just up and "do it again", could they?

Granted that's a complex question, but I suspect the answer isn't automatically yes... and likely very much a hard no.
The only country during the negotiation that was advocating for travel from the US was Poland. Greece has seen very few cases relatively speaking, and they want it to remain that way. There are plenty of tourists from other European countries that can visit Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. Besides, those same European tourists won't be travelling beyond Europe this summer anyway.
I've found through my years that it's relatively easy to keep an eye on trends and when something or someone becomes problematic to society, to evaluate why that'd be and let go of it from your life.

My first example of this came when I was ~7 and Robinsons' badges that I'd been collecting since a toddler were seen as an image of racism. It didn't take much work to accept that they were no longer acceptable and that while fun to collect, their time had passed. As it happened, at around that time collecting Star Wars figurines became the de jour thing, so there was something new to enjoy in it's place.

Some people still swear that the badges' meaning is divorced from the racism, and still collect them to this day. I don't know how they can really.

For info on the badges I'm talking about: http://www.golligosh.co.uk/
No I don't believe this is in Graal EE. I think you may be mistaking it with partial escape analysis, which can float reification of an object on the heap to the branch where it is needed and let it stay virtualised on other branches. This post is about actually allocating the reified object on the stack. I don't believe Graal does that in any configuration.
Ban the car --- either don't let them use it online, or don't show it to others.

If an account gets a threshold number of cars banned, don't let them use customized cars online.

If they're spouting hate on chat, ban them from chat too.

Isn't it money? The gov paying prob 1/4 what Google pays for the same set of skills?
I understand removing confederate flags and movements from public areas, but I don't think it is necessary to ban people for using it in games like Forza. I mean Microsoft can do whatever they want, but it is overreacting. Most people who would use it wouldn't have any bad meaning behind it and most likely would be used more as a joke. When playing Forza I remember I liked skin that made my car look like a beater car, and it was so fun winning races in car that looked like it would fall apart at any moment.
The Constitution is meaningless without a culture that backs it up. For example, in spite of the 2nd Amendment you have more legal right to an abortion in this country than you do a firearm. That's not an argument or a judgement about the state of things, just an observation.

Right now there's a big debate about whether our government is structurally functioning for the purpose of literally murdering black people. To put it lightly, that's a very different function than to "promote the general welfare."
It seems as though it’s a developing trend in web design.

Yes. It's a "recommendation" from the Council of the EU and is not legally binding in itself [0].

In practice, the member states are likely to go along with it, or they would have made a fuss when it was being discussed.

Choice is still present, is a person who is paralyzed and unable to speak by default non-racist?
There's no one simple reason, but a big contributor is compensation. Government pay for high skill professions like computer programmer, mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineers, etc is far below what good people in those fields can make working in private industry. Often people in those fields work on government contracts, where the US Govt will pay 3x or more than their already high total compensation for the privilege of their time.

I should know, I'm one of those professionals. I started out working for the government, then eventually became a contractor (doing the exact same job in the exact same building that I had done for the government! for 30% more money!)

It was hard to not take that offer of the additional money, especially when the government would go out of its way to infantilize its employees.
Congratulations, you’ve discovered the idea of competition and why it makes the free market better! Failures fail and go away, and what you’re left with are the successful organizations that know how to do things!

Unlike in government, where failure is often rewarded with an increased budget and a chance to try again next year with more money.
Great for the dev, terrible for everyone else who had to deal with it -in production-.
Don't forget that some of these are left-to-right (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic). Words are rendered left-to-right, and early email software would just expect each word to be sent reversed so that simple RTL rendering could be used. UTF solves this (and many other issues) quite nicely.

> How would I view events like WWI, or the Civil War, if we could watch them in 1080p? Would they feel "closer"? Will it have the effect of collapsing time? Would we "learn more" from history because we can identify more?

That is an interesting point I've never really thought of even though I've heard "history is written by the victors" so many times.

Given that it is unlikely that we will have complete access to audiovisual "360° 30K video with megagamut" and even if we did, we likely wouldn't have the ability to sift through all of it efficiently, I have a feeling that history wouldn't change much.

Machine learning (deep fakes et. al) is another arms race that might come in to play as well. If we extrapolate from today, I'd say it is likely that I'd probably yell "fake" or at least claim that the video lacks "context" even if I saw something in "360° 30K video with megagamut" video if it doesn't align with what I already believe in...
The problem is that this history is rooted in racism: the Confederacy was founded to preserve the institution of slavery (people who claim otherwise need to read the states’ own declarations) and the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag most commonly displayed has a long history from the Jim Crow era of being used to intimidate free Black people.

Just as someone proud of being German has a wide variety of symbols they can use other than a swastika, someone proud of their Southern ancestry could pick almost anything else to express that. Choosing a symbol which racists have proudly used to intimidate others for a century in a half immediately calls motives into question and even if someone somehow managed to avoid learning the history until now the only polite response is “I had no idea. I’ll use something else!”
Couple thoughts...

1. Not every case but often the things that makes a person "popular" are also actually really adding value for the team: Happy, optimistic attitude, helpfulness, attentiveness, good listener, good mentor. Promotions are given to a whole person not just for their coding contributions.

2. Everybody is on a unique path and as a manager I would never expect anybody to follow a develoment path exactly as laid out on a career ladder. (See: the map is not the territory)

3. Managers giving promotions are more likely to be biased by their own feelings (often: appreciation), but in many cases beyond a certain level a promotion requires a committee approval where a ladder is probably applied more objectively (who knows if this adds value or not!)
That's great. And the growing shift of culture suggests that slave owners are not emblematic of people who did good things, so we should remove them from the public display. The intent is not to erase history, it is to signal changing values.
People rally around symbols. That's why this is an issue right now; the US has a movement of white nationalists rallying around that picture.
Technically, the EU cannot decide on foreign travel for its member states. It can only recommend. The recommended list was negotiated between member states beforehand, so it would not end up having different travel restrictions from beyond the EU within EU member states.

That being said, some EU member states have already announced they are barring travel differently based on the list. For instance, Hungary has said they will only allow travel from Serbia from outside the EU/Schengen. But someone from Canada could travel to Austria and enter Hungary that way.
I think this is my favorite comment today.
Europe does not protect its export manufacturing industries with tariffs, it protects them with housing policy. They build abundant housing, keeping prices low, which keeps wages low. Industrial workers in Europe are not highly paid, but they enjoy low costs of living.
> It _is_ private property. The companies in question are just exerting their rights. The users agreed to the ToS while signing up, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to cut off your access to their service, as long as it's within the legal bounds of the ToS.

So by parity of reasoning, companies that pollute within the bounds of the EPA's restrictions are also perfectly within their legal rights, and so shouldn't be chastised or further regulated, right?

Of course that's nonsense, because we're all interested in a better civilization, which occasionally means reviewing and accounting for the negative externalities of which we might have been previously unaware.

So please stop using this point against people raising concerns over how corporations are acting. There are legitimate concerns over the negative externalities of policing speech and banning people on private platforms with no recourse for appeal.
Sure. Amazon should be allowed do that (and of course, there's a lot of context there; if they started putting swastikas, or confederate flags, on the cars in Top Gear there might be more eyebrows raised). It probably shouldn't be _compelled_ to carry all material containing swastikas, though.
Yes, trolls are a problem when one wants to promote free speech. It means you cannot censor them, but you should find a mechanism to discourage such destructive behaviour. Maybe a similar system that exists in real life and real personal relations. Maybe some form of hierachy. Unfortunately I do not know. However, I would look into establishing a meritocratic system or a representative system (much like the political system), where like-minded groups promote their representatives that have greater reach. And the anti social behaviour is punished at the social level and not by central purging.

Regarding your comment about ditching free speech and allowing only what I think is good. It would imply that I know what is good. I do not have such perfect knowledge and I do not believe anyone else has.
I feel like that is too much of a pass for the "free market".

I don't buy into the idea that the failures don't count and we just recognize the success.
> if you look at gdp per capita growth in places like germany who have only grown from 45k to 47k since 2008. The US grew from 45k to 62k.

I did a Google search for "germany gdp per capita 2008" and Google actually displays a graph of gdp per capita in USD since 1970 comparing the US, Germany, and some other country.

The US is a smooth line that hiccups in 2008, at the same time German gdp per capita spikes. So that's an interesting year to pick as the point of comparison.

But I'm also intrigued by what doing the comparison in USD appears to show. Smooth, managed growth for the US. Weird, jolty growth for Germany. This seems likely to be an artifact of the fact that US dollar-denominated GDP is fully controlled by the US, while German dollar-denominated GDP is controlled by, among other things, the exchange rate between dollars and Euros. (Or, if you go back far enough, dollars and deutschmarks.)

This actually makes me think that you'd get a better picture of what's going on by comparing them in gold or some other commodity.
That the Constitution defines it as such is simply a matter of documentation of a purpose. You have to actually internalize a purpose and values system for it to be useful and “real” in the sense that it drives what you do as an organization. This seems a more proper distinction that feels accurate to me in making the author’s point but that is itself a hard point to falsify.

The other way to think about how to steel man the idea would be to think about how the government measures its success which is most likely by whether or not those in power keep staying in power? The bureaucrats who are subordinate to the government have much less (any?) stake in that measure so again it would be tough to think about purpose there.
Well, pretty much all the bailout money requires that the business not fire anyone (or re-higher anyone that they did fire). For example, thats how the small business portion of the CARES Act worked.

The recent airline loans/bailouts require maintaining the same staff until September 30th.[1]

I would imagine that there will be layoffs once that requirement expires.

I object to the notion that Facebook users are Mark Zuckerberg's "constituents." They have no representation in corporate governance, no ownership of the data Facebook appropriates from them, and no rights on the platform aside from the paltry few that are guaranteed (and rarely enforced) by whatever governments they live under. Users of Facebook (and most other large corporate networks) are vassals or subjects, not constituents.
Nope, that's too much complexity.

Because then someone has to run and manage a webserver, and there is no guarantee that ServiceWorkers will work like they do in 5 years or on an ancient Windows7 laptop running IE7.

It's dangerous too. We've watched Silicon Valley completely strip industries like music, movies and gaming of a wide swath of its profitability. It's the birthplace of modern XaaS offerings.

It just doesn't sit right with me that someone would suggest a conglomerate like Google is more progressive than government. It reads like a love letter to the villain in every dystopic novel.
> If you are going to be punished in any way for what you say, you don't have freedom of speech.

So the punishment should instead fall on...other people? Because that's exactly what the sort of "free speech" you are advocating it - a restriction on other people's own freedom of speech and association.
That seems like a lot of effort to address the symptoms, not the disease. The root issue is the user. Get rid of the user and you don't have to worry about all these half-measures.

A bit random but I'm hoping that Apple will be adding an LTE modem or at least offering it on their new ARM "Apple Silicon" devices. I wish they would do that as well as having something like "internet modes" so apps could check if they should try to use less bandwidth or can use as much as they want.

Well, that's a distinction without a difference. That guideline isn't technically just about reading an article vs. something else. HN is a spirit-of-the-law, not letter-of-the-law place. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

I would recommend just leaving out the first sentence. It's not clear that the comment loses anything by it. Alternatively, you could say "This issue is already addressed upthread, for example <link>". That would be the equivalent of "the article mentions that". Yes, that's not shorter, but the intention here is to make one's points without personal swipes. And linking to the other explanation also adds information.

By the way, once I read your explanation of what you meant, it seemed like a much lesser violation than it did when I read it without that. The trouble, though, is that other readers encounter such a comment without knowing what you meant either.

I wish people would stop beating around the bush and own up to these being design mistakes of the language. If you can't have nice things because earlier poor decisions (e.g., supporting nils) has walled you into a corner, it's a problem. It's not an example of "refreshing simplicity", it's a shortcoming of the language. Period. Every language has some warts, just acknowledge them!

I agree that is wrong, but I disagree on the grounds of contract law, not speech rights. I do think MS is well within their rights to prevent you from playing their game for any reason they want (other than membership in a protected class), but they should refund your money.
Always worthwhile to revisit assumptions. I don't know much about Cyc, I was just curious.
The US government has no incentive to succeed in the way that you or I understand it: i.e. by producing something of value, operating an organization efficiently, or achieving a useful result. I mean, the government as a whole might in some abstract sense, but the individuals that comprise the government certainly do not, and the individuals are the underlying reality here, not words in the Constitution or whatever.

“Success” in the government is defined solely by justifying your continued budget to a bunch of other people who are largely as unaccountable for results as you are. “Great success” is achieving an expansion of your budget. And the best way to achieve an expansion of your budget is to figure out how to blame your past failures on having too small a budget.

As a mentor of mine once said: “The private sector is about cost minimization. The government is about cost justification.”

So the consequence is that “failure” in the government doesn’t really mean you failed to achieve your result. It means you failed to properly document and justify your costs. If you have all the proper documentation and followed all the proper procedures and yet you still failed to achieve a result, that’s okay! It’s obviously not your fault, and since you’re so good at following procedures the government will happily entrust you with more money to fail with next year.

Actually judging whether you’re any good at producing results is way too complicated and subjective for any government funding office to evaluate. And subject to liability and discrimination concerns as well. But it’s easy and unambiguous to verify whether you followed the proper procedures!
