You can cover an issue in breadth, or in depth in an article. To do the issue justice (lol) by drilling into all of the causes, would require a book. Those don't get covered on HN much, or consumed by the public in great quantities anymore -- I'd guess the people most likely to buy/read a book on the brutality of american policing are those who already understand the breadth and depth of the problem.

Just replying to the headline, but the people don't read the manual because software is now intuitive enough that they don't have to.
> Properly reading the docs can take hours, and most don't have that much time to spare.

And, reading the docs looks to an external observer exactly like playing video games or browsing facebook all day. Modern "agile" organizations dedicate two or three watchers to each actually productive employee to "make sure" that the productive people are actually being productive. This means that the only time spent on tasks is spent on tasks whose outcome can be quickly, easily externally observed.

That this necessarily produces a substandard product seems to be unimportant.
I think this is one area where pretty much everyone who has had some exposure to government can agree. I've often tried to liken it to the ACA. Yeah, we can probably get it passed, and it may help for a while. However, you're one election cycle away from potentially losing it.

I have a very hard time conceiving of long-term solutions to such large problems that don't basically boil down to 'if the government is in charge of it, it will end poorly'

It comes from the fictitious idea that if you play with bits, you're smarter than most people. My outside-of-industry perspective has me come to this conclusion.
It's even less ‘elite’ — I have < 500 points and see a ‘vouch’ link on dead comments. The FAQ doesn't state the exact threshold; I'd guess it's 100 (at most).
But why are your instructions in the back closet when they could be taped directly to the code in the readme or in the comments and error messages? I've had similar phone calls, to which I respond "it's all in the README." Never heard from them again.

Absolutely none of that tweet is correct. They don't cite the contract /at all/, they say very matter-of-factly "Apple doesn’t refund the 30% cut they took from you" which is 100% false.

Hey, thanks for the question! I'm not sure I follow entirely, the network builder is through a library called react-sigma
Of course. This was probably my dumbest question in 2020.
Could I loan out a book that a library isn't circulating... just because I believe it isn't circulating?

Obviously IA might have closer ties to libraries than I do, but it's not clear to me what exactly happened that allowed them to loan a ton more.

I love IA, but their explanation for what exactly happened regarding loaning library books that were not circulating seemed to me come about ... only after the lawsuit phase started.

Their initial announcement seemed to be that there was an emergency and they were loaning out books because libraries (and schools) were closed... but that's not the same thing as an orchestrated digital lending deal that suddenly allowed them to loan a lot more than they had in the past.

A lot of explanations from IA seem to have been either poorly communicated, or sort of dance around this idea that they were doing digital lending properly... but without actually saying what they were doing...
Thanks! Yep that was the hope :)
"is continuing to put forward the preservation of life worth it given the extreme decline in quality of life that we see past the age of 70?"

Yes!

- Age is nowhere near as bad as trauma.

- When it's really your time to go, you go pretty quick.

- Fight the disease not the patient. Knowledge is the real scarcity.

- Not your decision to make. People want to do it on their own, and you will have to stop them.

- It would be evil to send your grandparents to the friar so you have the money to spend on video games and Hollywood, yet alone illegal drugs and strip clubs.
So.....an underwater lab where the whole premise is not having to do a lengthy decompression....and yet it's only down at 18m depth? Reading the article I thought they were aiming for much deeper than that, it seems like there's hardly any benefit at the dept given. According to this[0] table, decompression from that depth takes just 2 hours?

Some people have contracts that forbid divulging any information or techniques they learned during their employment. This doesn't stop companies from asking questions about previous work projects, or asking them to solve problems on white boards despite that fact that some candidates are certainly violating the letter of their employment contracts to do so.

People have contracts with all kinds of stupid things in them. If they aren't practically enforceable, they can safely be ignored. Any company saying they don't pay for take home projects because of employment contracts is just using that as an excuse not to pay.

There are people out their with contracts that say they can't even interview at rival companies, how many companies out there refuse to conduct interviews because of this?

Shouldn't there also be access control security measures in place that prevent this kind of thing.

I agree they should look at putting Super Heavy into service before Starship. They could use a conventionally designed expendable upper stage, imagine how immense its payload capacity would be without having to lug the enormous Starship. It would allow them to fill out Starlink quickly and would open up the market for larger satellites sooner rather than later.
I can't speak for more than myself, of course, but my anti-apple sentiment comes from my experience where apple removed all apps for the iPod Touch 1st gen from the app store. I didn't realize they'd done this, and after resetting my device (to un-jailbreak it, ironically enough), I found myself unable to reinstall any of the apps that I'd been using a moment ago.

That's when I swore off of walled gardens in general. I still use them sometimes, but I won't let myself become dependent on them. So, I use Spotify for exploration, but buy anything I would mind losing access to.
Most often for obvious bad-faith arguments, such as clinging to misinformation or logical fallacies despite having them pointed out as such. Sometimes for extreme rudeness toward another commenter (not a public figure). Never for mere disagreement. Also never for "not adding enough to the conversation" because I think the hostility toward short comments and "small talk" here drives every conversation toward pompous verbosity. There's nothing wrong with a "lighter" conversational style.

Pros and Cons of Angel Investors
One big problem is that journals agree to publish studies after they are completed, which means that publication in prestigious journals is based on the novelty of the result rather than on the validity of the study/experiment. It's an absolute fundamental of science that you go into it with an open mind, admitting that you do not know what the result will be. A good study/experiment is not one which produces an interesting result, it's one which is properly designed to answer the question it's asking. Evaluating the quality of studies/experiments based on their results is an anti-scientific practice which should be excised like the cancerous tumor it is. The best way to do that is to accept and commit to publish studies/experiments based solely on their design, before the experiment/study has actually been performed.
I think there's a thought experiment here to demonstrate why the national emergency library was fine.

Imagine if, the day they closed their doors for the pandemic, all the libraries figured that access to knowledge is still essential and the best way to keep loaning books is digitally. So the libraries mailed all their books to IA on loan, or maybe they digitized them themselves and loaned copies one-for-one to IA. IA would then have more than enough copies to lend out, one at a time per physical book like normal, to everyone who's needed them.

The books exist, they're just behind closed doors now.

This is not about Apple so much as it is about the HN community rushing to judgement based on... whatever prejudices and assumptions they/we had.

Apple can be good or bad or irrelevant. The facts should still be the facts, and HN got the facts very wrong in this case.

I know a lot of "rich" people that have better life habits: don't smoke, drink very little, use a budget, live within their means, exercise, eat healthy, etc. I'm guessing this is the underlying reason why. Causality is a hard thing to link because it gets us into a chicken-egg scenario... One likely breeds the other.

If everyone had $40k/year of guaranteed income, all of a sudden opportunities to go around slumlords opens up: they can buy land and new-build or redevelop housing with UBI-Backed mortgages (so the bank knows they’re getting the money back).

Renters almost by definition aren’t capable of amassing enough capital to build new housing, so are at the mercy of the existing supply. If it is guaranteed that everyone has a capital-amassing stream of income available to them, they gain an ability to turn that stream into something longer term. Sure, this still may not be possible in areas with strict housing regulations, but a guaranteed, portable stream of income also provides people the means to move.
How do you propose to adjust capitalism's core reliance on scarcity and supply and demand (supply of a digital good is infinite!)

I have never seen any serious proposals, hence we're trying to uphold capitalistic structures by enforcing artificial scarcity, to build a marketplace where capitalism's assumptions hold. I don't think you can tear down copyright and artificial scarcity without tearing down capitalism.

> I want to be able to link to a particular sentence of a particular version of a paper.

Probably best that you read through whole papers instead of looking for one sentence.
A serious distinction is that increased minimum wages incur a burden on employers which they pass around to their customers and business partners. The increase of burden is directly proportional to the amount of work of an hourly employee. UBI does not come from an employer and is not tied to an effort. There is no direct market burden, but yet an increase of cash is available none the less.

It should also be noted that inflation is not immediately present following a cash stimulus. It takes time for inflation to set in as a response to market conditions and as such inflation is measured as an adjustable change over a given period of time. That said specific single time examples of UBI not adjusting inflation only demonstrates a faulty understanding of economics.

This may be possible for a theater hosting a unique event, but never for a music festival, where you have like 30-50 different artists/bands on one night. There you have people responsible for each aspect. Of course you have a stage manager responsible for the overall operation of each stage, but there is no way that a guy can make sure that everything is ok in all details for all artists (the riders sheets can sometime several pages of different requests, like that hotel room must contains this kind of pillow etc.). As you say you have to delegate, and if one of the guys of the backstage team forget to sort the M&Ms, it will be a problem for the guy in charge of the backstage, but that's it. Like in any large organization, you cannot imply that because the customer support guy messed up that all the engineering team is bad. So here, if they wanted to make sure that technical guideline where followed it would be better to put something like: please mark all this kind of cable with pink and yellow tape.

What I’m worried about are the incompetent but seemingly humble... They will go around and call the competent “arrogant”, they will seem to be right (to a lot of people), because the competent have such high scientific ideals, and a lot of people will feel like they can’t live up to them. So they will win. The End.

Most nutrition science is pretty bad. As is often said, correlation is not causation, but that's what most nutritional studies are.

It's easy to study large populations and find correlations. You publish a paper, the media reports something, and that becomes the accepted wisdom. But you have no idea how to factor out all the possible confounders in your study.

It's hard to do a study where you make a change to people's diet and see if that affects health outcomes, so it is rarely done. And really that's what you need to do to see what is really going on. So what we are left with is a bunch of associations that may or may not hold up.

That's pretty much your limitation; your linux kernel + initramfs can't be on filesystems other than VFAT (ie, must be on the ESP but there is some ways you can have it work across disks).

Hence the table being slightly misleading.

For example, it also mentions that EFISTUB means you can't boot on btrfs and friends anymore. But it's the same limitation, initramfs and kernel need to be on the ESP, everything after that is up to the initramfs to bring up.

Any article about impending catastrophes that may well end up wiping us all from the Planet are a bit hard to tolerate. When we are confronted to them our brain automatically trigger its best protection mechanism, which is denial. We immediately think of thousands of reasons convincing us that the article is wrong, misinformed, etc. Another article with any explanation of why the first one is wrong is therefore much more pleasant to our brain.
That's why denial articles get more coverage. That's also why we don't clearly see the reality and why we do nothing to prevent our impending doom.

I still have reservations against UBI but I think some form of it is inevitable and perhaps necessary.

I am not sure even OECD nations have sufficient production capacity for everyone and carrying capacity can solely rely on automation in the near future.

I think a short “draft” (2-3 years) of people into various community and defense activities should be mandatory for all healthy young adults before they are eligible for UBI.

I like the idea of efficient consumption.
> As a result, I think the current crop of people who are alive are among the first to see the effects of truly advanced age.

You’re mistaking average for median life expectancy. People lived to older ages in the past. But lots of babies died, so the average life expectancy was way down. Add a lot of zeros to a number series and it gets pretty low.

Ancient comedy even had a stock character, sexex iratus: angry old man. Certainly there are many more very old people now, but it wasn’t something totally unknown.

The aging of people has also coincided with a decline in our physical health and diets. Strength is declining year on year: we have grip strength measures for college age students since the 1980s and it is a steady decline. Diets are worse, people are much fatter and with more health problems such as type 2 diabetes.

One of the theories of alzheimers is that it is a form of diabetes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2769828/

Certainly it is correlated with type 2 diabetes, and with obesity in mid life. (Not in late life, but this may be because sudden weight loss is a precursor of alzheimers https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6205180/)

Have a look at this chart. Japan has one of the oldest populations in the world, and yet its alzheimers death rate is less than 6x that of the usa: https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/alzheimer...

There is more to this than just age. Our lifestyles increasingly leave us hobbled by ailments at young ages, and the medical system patches it up and lets us live through them longer. But this expresses in much more old age morbidity than would otherwise be biologically necessary.
