Good point and it's not cut and dried but the character of his output had changed to the extent that it was not published in technical journals as it had been:

>Relatively little of his work after 1960 was published by the conventional route of the learned journal, circulating initially in duplicated volumes of seminar notes; his influence was to a considerable extent personal. His influence spilled over into many other branches of mathematics, for example the contemporary theory of D-modules. (It also provoked adverse reactions, with many mathematicians seeking out more concrete areas and problems.)

My guess would be that he was working on himself rather than on the mathematics. Mathematics was merely the means and the medium. But I haven't read the material...!

> There's easily a multi-billion dollar opportunity for anyone who can unseat Autodesk from the building design industry.

Same is true for many other industries. I've been hoping for a Quickbooks contender for years, but Intuit has proven to be very adept at shutting down the competition by virtue of the fact that relatively few CPAs will work with any other software.
The most accurate answer would be "HN started as a community of fans of Paul Graham's essays, and this is the syntax he uses in his essays, so this style was imported to HN and thrives to this day".
For this community? Das Kapital. For something less rigorous and more accessible, probably something by Richard Wolff, but I'm not familiar enough w/ his writings to recommend anything specific.
Claiming that something is right because it exists as it is under the current system without further justification is equally, if not more short sighted. It's where "plainspeaking" and begging the question combine into a kind of catnip for people that want reinforcement for their impulse towards the status quo. I'm not familiar with this particular quote, but I've read one of his recent books and it was full of this sort of thing.

That's a semantic argument.

I think when most people hear "life sentence" they think the person will spend the rest of their life behind bars, so the phrase "life sentence" doesn't clearly communicate what actually happens.

Spam and abuse aren't exactly minor problems for publishing platforms, they're arguably the primary existential threat, the most important thing to address.

Depends on what you mean by "support". The OnHub never ended up using its smart home radios or built-in speaker for anything. I also ended up needing to buy multiple other boxes to work around Google WiFi's crashy PPPoE implementation and lack of VLAN tagging.

And then there was that day Google accidently deleted everyone's router configuration.

It worked great as a dumb access point. Everything else was shambles.

But to be frank, there are much more companies are vulnerable to similar issues like Blizzard. Although they're not obligated to ban accounts that against China's interest, they do it anyway because they don't want to lose market.

The first iPod to really become popular was the 4G, which I think not coincidentally was also the first to have proper USB support. iTunes not being on Windows seems like a lesser factor; even if iTunes was on Windows it wouldn't have mattered because most Windows computers of that time did not have firewire ports. As soon as iPods supported USB fully, their popularity took off like a rocket.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#/media/File:Ipod_sales_pe...

Incidentally, cmdrtaco was right about the extant iPod he was actually criticizing. It was lame and that iPod never became popular. He's mocked in retrospect because later revisions of the iPod became massively popular, but the version he was responding to never did.

A difference to physical "protection" schemes is that the group you'd pay to might actually keep other groups out of what they consider their turf. Ransomware attacks are not geographically bound so I really doubt that similar structures would develop there. With growing numbers of ransomers demands just wouldn't stop until either the company runs out if money or security gets good enough to keep them out.
As long as they rot out their own foundation with all the authoritarian corporate woke stuff, they will never succeed against the centralized corporate networks. I even wonder if the whole corporate "woke" stuff is kind of like aggoring zombies in their defense, because you simply cannot be successful in defeating centralized corporate powers and all their massive advantages, when you are fundamentally undercutting and sacrificing the very premise of the supposed alternative to them.

"We need to fight authoritarian corporate centralization … by being like them" is not a winning strategy. You may as well not even waste your time with such a fundamentally flawed approach. They are mutually exclusive architectures, once you expose yourself to the virus of centralization even a little bit, it is only matter of time before you "turn" and it overcomes and destroys your decentralized or distributed network from within.

Do you think a multi-billion corporation would pay a low level employee an extra million just because they can? You may overestimate the value of individual engineers, big corporations don't. That's how they become big. The money they make is the difference between the value of your work and the money you make. The smartest and best connected people in the company are working to make that gap as wide as possible.
I was on an iPhone 4s up until late last year. It was a backup phone and of course I broke my newer phone and needed something quickly until I could replace it. They stopped updating it however so I really don’t like to use it.

> property law benefits everyone in a society like the U.S., who has more than precisely zero possessions...?
That way of thinking is a common mistake. This statement is valid for some property law like, you cannot steal. But a law that eliminates property tax would actually harm land owners with small amounts of land. Here is an analogy, if the price of bread doubles, you are not benefiting because you happen to have a loaf of bread in your cupboard. Owning stocks is another example of this.

No. Air travel is about 5% of GHG emissions. A lot of the remaining 95% can be gotten rid of without giving up any quality of life. We can keep air travel, no problem.
Mitt Romney was the first Senator, of any party, to cross party lines to vote for an impeachment of a President of their own party. Many Republican legislators immediately and publicly renounced Trump's comments[0] regarding delaying the election.

The [R]'s can read the wind and since their base is tied to the hip to Trump at the moment they'll play ball on day to day things and have his back on most things, but they are all quite aware he is a temporary force that will be spent eventually and the last thing they want to do is give him the permanent keys to the kingdom.

But Google has been not telling the truth on all sorts of things, and Google is under investigation by the federal government, 49 US states, the European Union, and several other entities for misconduct and illegal activity with regards to both monopolization and privacy violations. The idea that it'd go very badly if Google were to lie may be true: And Google is currently going through exactly that.

To ask us to "trust your word" while you're actually actively being accused of a lot of misconduct by a lot of very reputable sources is... kinda hard to buy into? We gave Google the benefit of the doubt for far, far too long, and it screwed us. We're done trusting you.

Wow, what a good article. Finally an article in a well respected publication that goes over the science of the Covid19 transmission, and appears to be non-partisan as well (what a tragedy that the approach to combat the disease has become a partisan issue).

I started out with an Atreus42 in 2016 and really loved it, so I totally get that outer columns are superfluous in most circumstances. The same could be said about most extra features on this ZSA Moonlander board overall, although I think there's some utility in being able to leverage the non-essential keys when it's convenient, especially when it costs that much. Say for example one wants to use it for gaming - most games expect there to be an outer column.

Even if we set aside any potential spiritual, or child-rearing value. Marriage is a very important institution in helping people achieve economic mobility, it increases your household income significantly, as well as seriously reducing your cost of living. Anecdotally, my cost of living was drastically reduced when my girlfriend and I moved in together (thereby splitting a 1BR), however given that we aren't married we individually have to save a good amount of money in cash accounts in case of a breakup. If we were married, we could reduce our cash savings by 50% and instead invest that money into the open market. Moreover, we would be far more likely to take care of the other financially if one went to school if we were married. Marriage, and the commitment it entails changes the attitudes of individuals towards each other by ensuring that we can plan for a combined future. all that exists outside of societally constructed benefits like joint taxation and healthcare.
You're comparing apples and oranges here. As much as I find the federal agents' behavior of be despicable, they're not what the parent post is talking about.

I'd second the other response's recommendation of Richard Wolff's work. He's a marxist and democratic socialist, so read his work understanding his perspective in relation to your own, whatever that might be. That being said, I found his book Competing Economic Theories on neoliberalism, keynsianism, and marxism to be very fair to all sides.
Breached Password Detection
Napster and the like hurt the music industry but didn't land the killing blow to CDs. The murder weapon was the cheap DVD player.

In the mid-nineties, my cool friends with money had huge collections of CDs and listened to a lot of music. It was not uncommon to see shelves with scores of CDs proudly displayed in the living room next to an expensive stereo system.

By the early 2000s that was gone, replaced by a DVD player, the largest TV they could afford, and a stack of DVDs. Maybe a game console or two as well. All the disposable income that a decade earlier was being poured into music was now going toward the film and gaming industries.

Sure there was plenty of piracy but I would argue not enough to explain the drop.

Yes. Because I have that discount and I do not have a professionally monitored system.

It's designed not to leak any info like that. Anonymity is super important (https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2020/01/23/being-your-selves-iden... is one of the inspirations for what I want Brick to enable.)

Worse, even. Fuel is heavily subsidised (In many EU countries there's no excise on fuel for aircraft, but all other transports pay them; in UAE and other oil-states, fuel is even "free" for local carriers). Airports are often kept aloft by (local) governments (Ryanair to Charleroi every X years: Want us to start paying you? Then we leave and you can close the airport. Good luck with the unemplyment). And ticketprices are subsidised (in EU at least) by not having VAT and other taxes on them.

Airtravel is a very heavily subsidised sector. As is train-travel and other public transport, but (I'm not expert, so this is merely hearsay) apparently airtravel is heavier subsidised than public transport.
Yes, it's even worse than the one that goes a bit like this (with "//" denoting a change of voice as audio samples from different recording sessions get combined):

I'm sure passengers appreciate the explanation.

I expect the person who recorded "the late arrival of an incoming service" also recorded a few alternatives, such as "leaves on the line" or "alien abduction", but they never seem to use any of the alternatives.

It's easy-mode for security because it offloads the cost of security to employees. Done right, many hands make light work. Done wrong, it's the very picture of "if nobody can use it, hackers can't either."

I'm interested in learning how to do this right, because I've only ever seen it done wrong. How do you streamline the process for getting programs approved? How do you accommodate developers who need to generate and run code?
