I largely agree with all that. The eventual incredible success of the iPod which in turn was the beachhead for the iPhone (which also wasn't really a massive success until the 3G) tends to obscure its early history.

The initial iPod was basically one of many digital music players available at the time and, as you say, you couldn't even really use it with the desktop computers that had something like 95% market share.

Apple clearly became one of the most successful companies ever, but it's not like that was an inevitability as soon as they released the first iPod.

There's a lot of precedent for right wing false flag provocation during these protests, and lots of evidence, while there's no credible evidence of Trump being a double agent for the Democrats. There are people vandalizing their own property to blame it on antifa, "boogaloo" proponents smashing windows and lighting things on fire and posing as BLM supporters while calling for violence. It is wild, yes.

What types of "doesn't work as well" are you thinking about? My understanding of where ARM "doesn't work as well" is something like these areas:

* The underlying code is relying on x86 features or is x86 ASM. In that case ya... this is going to be a bit rough - but is a super minority, especially for use cases where you'd want to use ARM

* The runtime or compiler hasn't been ported to ARM yet. For compilers, I don't think this is a problem - I think both clang and gcc are completely ready to go for armv7 and arm64. Go is good to go too. Runtimes is a bit more dodgy, but all the major (Java, C#, Python, Ruby, Perl, Javascript/Node) languages and runtimes are just fine. Maybe the only one out is rust, which doesn't have ARM as Tier 1 supported (but should just work) yet.

* Hardware support. There may not be good open source drivers for various ARM specific hardware blobs.

What else were you thinking of?

We've spent a lot of time building systems to keep Stacker responsive even if the underlying data source isn't.

And both of these fit that bill: the Gsheets API is generally quite sluggish, especially for large sheets, and the Airtable API only lets you fetch 100 records at a time, with no skipping pages!

We cache the responses from each API to keep reads as quick as they can be, and try our best to be smart for writes too.

> a research paper (admittedly an unreviewed preprint)

As Dr. Fauci would say, it doesn't matter, even if it were a peer reviewed it can still be bad. (1)

There are a lot of bad studies, especially on the "preprint servers" that in more quiet times would not appear at all, or which nobody would take a bit serious. Now there is a lot of wishful thinking or bias involved even in their perception.

The scientific process doesn't protect anybody from some studies simply being bad, the process is there that eventually the bad ones are going to not be reconfirmed, and the really good ones are those that have many confirmations and have even the power to make new predictions, that remain true.

There are known issues with these studies claiming different "strains" too easily.

You are correct, I am taking their early claims at face value, but they never produced supporting numbers. I would be shocked if their claims weren't true, however.

Because of the lack of numbers, I'm not sure how long it was before running at break-even ceased to be a thing, though.
Very lazy article. Sets up its premise, then offers only one counterargument - that it's too hard to define "human" because of the edge cases of unborn fetuses and just-died people needing CPR. Nothing at all after that, the article just abruptly ends. Might be an interesting premise but someone will need to argue it better.

No, for things like database engines C++ still has significant expressiveness and memory model advantages.

Every time I've looked into supposed lack of jet fuel taxes, it seems to come down to taxing the driving of cars on roads via taxes on fuel. Fuel for agricultural or industrial use also doesn't contain such taxes, most places.

Which is not to say there aren't other subsidies for air travel, for example in keeping open the minor airports at which low-cost airlines often land. And money for manufacturers.
Maybe they don't do it for National Rail, but I've heard '... due to a person under a train' quite often on the Underground.
The problem I have is pulling my money out immediately reduces it by 15-30% because of taxes. So for every $1000 in stocks gains, I will only have $850 to invest in the future. So taking money out is a guaranteed reduction of your investment portfolio.

Agreed. I don't know the article author's opinion on this, but my personal problem with the article is not its veracity, but that it is obviously engineered to cause outrage in a certain group. It is nearly impossible to put forward facts that do not tend towards a bias, but efforts can be made to present it in a less emotionally charged way. Many comments on HN that are factually true get downvoted because of accusatory phrasing, this is the same in my opinion.
You are unfortunately describing things that are separate from any "social network", they are unhealthy and detrimental behaviors that have metastasized and are manifest in society today in general, mirrored and amplified online where people can find whatever pity party echo chamber they fall into, which will then only be amplified through self-reinforced "moderation", aka censorship.

It's actually precisely why we need free speech more than ever, because those who withdraw into self-censored echo chambers need to hear things that are not their favorite things to hear even more than those who demand free speech. Not doing so will only end poorly.

You've put "banks are racist" in speech marks, but I can't find where you're quoting it from.

My question: an oft repeated refrain, when Marx is touted as a reasonable alternative, is that any time anyone tried his ideas out, it was a total disaster (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez).

I have watched some Wolff on Youtube, as well as other lectures on Marxism, because I'm interested and relatively agnostic on the economic spectrum. But I never see this point (tens of millions dead due to internal issues, in these societies, in the 20th century) refuted with any scholarly heft - do you have any recommendations?

I think Steven Pinker is dead on about why Marx (and other interpretations of far left economic thought such as Chomsky's flavors of anarchism) are dead in the water - they fundamentally misunderstand human nature. I'm looking for someone who sounds as clear as Pinker, that can counter this take. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Arm is explicitly managed to prevent such a scenario to happen. Where things can and do diverge is the boot mechanism and peripherals, even if it has been getting better with time. (Arm servers and Windows on Arm machines using UEFI + ACPI)

However, for user-mode code, compatibility is mandated and checked by Arm, even for designs not made by them. As such, don't worry about it.

My personal anecdote about this is the time I was a student and a room mate and I were doing the same assignment that involved creating a program for some statistical simulation. I had a 486, he had just gotten a brand new blazing fast pentium of the first generation. Compiling and running the simulation took eight minutes on my computer, three seconds on his.

And in the end we started and finished around the same time. Because while he was iterating quickly, continuously changing something and running it again, I just sat in front my monitor contemplating the problem and my solution. When I finally got the chance to update my program, I was able to make a big, significant change.

Lesson learned: it is not the computer time that is important, but the thinking time. And thinking time is spent best in big blocks, not in tiny slivers.
And how have we discovered the incorrect and dishonest claims?

Through the process. You never have to trust the data if you have a good process. Process will verify data. Process will verify sources. Process is impartial. Trust the process, not the results.

Also, I take issue with the attempt to conflate people who are incorrect with people who are dishonest.

There is nothing wrong with being wrong. Being wrong is the first step to being right. You can't be corrected if you're never willing to be wrong. And we can't learn if everyone has to wait to be completely correct before making a claim. Often, we don't even know we should be looking into something until someone makes a claim that turns out to be incorrect on further study.

Knowledge isn't furthered in "eureka" moments where we have all the answers at once, it's in observing something and thinking, "Huh, that's weird", then seeking the answers.

Except if you are on desktop, you have no secret chats at all. And "desktop" includes GNU/Linux phones.

"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago and a racist today." -- Thomas Sowell (who, ironically, is the topic of a similar fight about free speech on a different HN thread right now).

No. They're not. The tradition and standard of comorbidies has been _completely_ abandoned.

It's absolutely unscientific to say that ever death with C19 present was caused by C19. That's not how it works.

The fact that this ruse has been normalized doesn't make it right.

The truth is, at this point, the data is in such shambles that it can't be used to produce accurate information to drive intelligent decisions.

That's what we've been seeing, and continue to see. Believe what you want but the absence of comorbidies should be a red flag. Either you see the danger in that slight-of-hand, or you dont.

A scientist being wrong is GOOD! The scientific process relies on assimilation of negative results.

If a scientist is emotionally attached to a result and ignores a result that they don't like, they are no longer engaged in science.

Peer review and replication is the correcting factor for the unfortunate reality that science must be, for the moment carried out by humans.

At the very least, when operating properly science becomes less wrong. That cannot be said for politicians who are interested in nothing but confirmation of their preconceptions.

There is a special place in hell for those who cynically use the fact that scientists are sometimes wrong as an attack against the very existence of knowledge and consensus reality itself.
