But if youre just starting out or only releasing your code for free, then you're not a "viable software business", which is what the article was complaining about.
I'd like to know this too, same reason. The article sorta makes it sound like current vehicles are already equipped with the hardware.
This one in particular drove me up the wall when they started doing it, because, for at least a year, the Yelp app was so buggy (on my phone at least) that it was essentially unusable. I wanted to keep using Yelp on the web, but because it was so crippled I switched to using Google Maps as my default review-searching app. The Yelp app works on my phone now...but I never reach for it.
I think the problem is that humans sell labour that is either physical or mental. Already lost physical work has been automated (see, eg agriculture). So we retreat into mental work, the knowledge economy. But what happens when we have decent AI that can perform most mental tasks?

It doesn’t feel like a continuation of what’s gone before, it feels like a step change. When the machine dominates man in all employable qualities, then it’s game over and capitalism breaks down for most people.

I wish I were wrong, but I can’t see a way out of that. Perhaps it’s good, ultimately, because people may no longer have to work in the future.

An optimistic view I guess is to work out how we transition to a new economic system that both continues to generate wealth and to share it. That sounds very much like a problem that must be solved centrally, which we are not good at, so perhaps therefore (based on historical patterns) we will have to await such an extreme level of capitalism that a revolution forces complete automation hand in hand with sharing wealth, ie coordination will only happen when all alternatives (corruption, brutal autocratic rule, state capitalism, etc) are proven unsustainable.
I guess you’re really careful about the flu and driving, and wear a helmet when crossing the street too?

How about, if you’re worried, stay home, stay in. If you’re not worried, go out. Let’s not impinge on freedoms of any groups. Not just little freedoms. Pretty basic ones like, freedoms of assembly.
You don't need high bandwidth density for this kind of usage. A single downlink in an area connecting to some datacenter in LEO could be useful for latency sensitive stuff. Then on top of that there's a huge market hasn't been cracked yet which is automated planting of crops. It needs 1-2 cm of accuracy to be useful and the best in the market currently is at 6cm. Plus all kinds of IoT stuff and long-range latency sensitive backhaul( in which case LEO constellations win because the distance is actually smaller due to the low number of trans-oceanic cables and the high number of switches along the way).
I’ve only watched the video, but to me this as much highlights how WebAssembly was designed to run in restricted browser sandboxes with CSP and other mitigations readily available, and that the uses of WebAssembly outside of such relatively hardened environments is, as shown, more risky. Outside of the confusion that a WebAssembly binary might be tricked to misbehave though, the rest feels like standard security measures are enough. I’m not yet convinced we need more mitigations at the WebAssembly layer vs better security linting to try and catch the vulnerabilities, and perhaps not trusting any web assembly outputs without validating them first? I might be missing something here. I’ll probably need to read the paper next :)
there is also the probability of transmission. People living together in the same home is about a 20% chance of transmission. Casual contact( sitting nearby) is estimated to be about .7%

The total probability of hospitalization per contact is

prevalence * transmission rate * hospitalization rate

so it is probably something like 1% * .7% * 3% per contact. So your probability of getting hospitalized is quite low per contact.

That's actually an interesting way of looking at the problem of untrusted code. We might still need a way to signal to people what pop-ups really mean so we avoid the blindly yes-yes-continue clicking, but in general if things are as sandboxed as they are on mobile (sans the sensor and network access that still allows you to do a million invasive things, so perhaps more like websites where the software is closed when you close it) then we might not need this sort of scheme.
I think you're trying to agree with me, but I don't think I've made a point for you to agree with. At least, it's probably not yours.
I don't believe they have a strong competitive moat at all. They don't own the properties they rent, there are a myriad of other services that the exact same properties can list on. They have market/mind share but that can easily wane.
Higher energy density makes electric planes a little bit more reasonable, but they'd still be quite range-limited compared to gas. For some use cases, that might be okay.

I'm more interested in how this affects cars. Getting four or five hundred miles out of a battery pack that's lighter than what's in a typical Tesla would be a great thing, especially if it's cheap.

I'm currently working on an electric conversion of a Mazda RX-8. I just bought about 450 pounds of lithium iron phosphate batteries. They're the most expensive component, and provide about 27kwh; maybe enough for 100 miles if I'm lucky. I sort of assumed that in about ten years or so I'll probably replace the whole pack with whatever great new technology can provide more range with less weight, and probably cost less too. It would be wonderful if we had awesome batteries now.

(I considered used tesla modules; they have much better energy density, but they're more dangerous and they wouldn't have fit well in the odd-shaped places I wanted to put them.)
the price changes immediately when buybacks are announced, not when the buybacks are executed. Case in point, intel jumped 4% today immediately after announcing a stock purchase of $10 billion (to be executed by end of the year), which is about 5% of its marketcap. No shares needed to change hands, the bid / ask moved instantaneously. The quoted price of a stock reflects people's willingness to buy and sell at certain prices (bid / ask), its not simply the last traded price, which is almost useless, given new information.
What do you mean? If lots of people short a stock, the crowdedness are borrow costs, or a short squeeze if things go south (or should I say north).

It's a see-saw here. The lower it goes the lower it will go.
But the comment wasn't intended to be a cohesive argument/statement, it was a personal anecdote with mild exaggeration for the effect of being entertaining. I don't see the commenter as crazy at all; at worst a bit overenthusiastic to share details about their uncle who probably had some sort of security clearance. Why do you have to be so rude?
If insurance companies just wanted to raise rates, they already would have.
Depending on the state, education isn't compulsory until 6 or 7 years. Would it be an option for you to just hold off on the structured approach for another 6-12 months and let her play?
same reason it's hard to steer an ocean liner. death rates dominated the way people thought and talked about this for months. now it's clearer death rates are obviously not so bad, but permanent damage and months-long recoveries and unclear immunity profile are massive unknowns, but the inertia of the previous narrative still overwhelms the minority trying to course correct. "we're all going to die" "no we're going to be fine" is much easier to latch onto than "it's more complicated than that and we don't really know." especially since most people got sick of lockdown and many are in grave economic danger because of it. people are doing a mental calculus of "well I'll probably be fine so I think we should open back up" and change their arguments to suit the conclusion they've decided on

People in the real world often have terrible opsec. Maybe we take our instincts about information security for granted these days. Maybe the Soviets just photocopied their own butts to prank the CIA. I honestly don’t know.
Well engineered ICE cars are the opposite of unresponsive. Gear shifts are in the order of 100ms. Turbocharged engines require some revs to get moving, but good engines rev so fast that unless you have no idea what you're doing this isn't a big problem.

Electric cars are like synthetic computer benchmarks - amazing on paper, but to actually drive? On a real road, with corners and a competent driver? So, so much worse. We'll get there, in time - some hybrids are really great, but we need to work a lot on battery weight before a pure electric car can match an ICE/hybrid car for real world performance. Weight always has been and always will be the enemy, and right now a tesla is closer to a truck than a sports car in terms of weight. The day will hopefully come, but today is not that day.
The top level comment is likely to also be wrong with regard to complication incidence of "healthy" people and "teachers and parents" vs average population. Granted, nobody really knows, and it's all anecdotal.

I can't benchmark with a CPU I don't have, and I can't advise a customer to go off and buy a $50K server just for a "quick benchmark".

Even if I were to, say, test with some cloud VMs, even then there are confounding issues. The different VM size categories aren't just different in the CPU type only, there are other differences that'll make the benchmark difficult to interpret. Memory type, throttling, HT on/off, etc...

Why is it so difficult for Microsoft to simply say "AVX-512 supported" somewhere in their documentation?

This is like every TV vendor saying "HDMI" instead of "HDMI 2.1" or whatever. Just because the port looks the same doesn't mean that they're identical! Versions matter.

It wasn't that 40 years of policy won't be enough to convince people to trust in said policy - it's the "promise" of a 40 year policy that isn't enough to convince people to trust in said policy.

Just telling people to trust the policy will be held strong for a least the next 40 years will not automatically convince people to quit their jobs and all the other possible outcomes of UBI. People who've grown up and spent a major portion of their life without UBI will likely remain skeptical, and mostly will not depend wholly on it for income.

Rather, it will, possibly take a generation of people growing up with UBI all their life before we start to see the actual societal changes UBI might affect. By then, it might be too late to make a change since there will be a generation of people who've come to depend on the government's hand for their basic needs.

Your view is merely dogmatic and ignorant, the opposite of what I come to HN for.
1. As a part of US's sanctions against Iran, Apple does not do business with Iran, period. Neither does Google. That's why people install Cafe Bazaar (https://cafebazaar.ir/), and alternative app store, on their Android phones the moment they get them—they cannot install apps from the official Play Store, nor can Iranian developers upload their apps there. The same is true of App Store of course, and there is little recourse there.

2. Your information regarding salary seems terribly outdated. There has been several sudden and dramatic losses of purchasing power and reduction in exchange rate for Iranian Rial, cumulatively by a factor of more than 7, during the past year. At the current exchange rate of ~220,000 IRR to 1 USD, the monthly salary of an Iranian developer would be around ~160 USD a month. Breaking the 100MM IRR/~454 USD barrier would be difficult for most developers. So even if the sanctions were lifted tomorrow, only large corporations would be willing to spend 100 USD at the current exchange rate, not independent developers.

This honestly has me puzzled.

German here, no kids, so not 100% sure how it is today, but to the best of my knowledge it's still 3-5 kindergarden (no idea why you would do this via screen) and then school from 6-7 (depends on birth month, etc). And the "this should be daycare" argument doesn't fly because how would you babysit a 5y old via a video conference?

Maybe I'm just old, but I don't see anything wrong in not teaching kids a lot in a structural way before school?
Priced into what? Stock prices?

Branson had to dig into his purses to bail out Virgin recently. Layoffs are periodically occurring in the air travel world. No one knows precisely when it ends.

What does "priced in" mean? Some sort of perfect market pricing thesis manifesting or am I reading into it?
So let me get this straight.

For some reason it is absolutely CRITICAL for me to not go outside to a beach, but it isn't critical for the folks lecturing me to get their act together and make masks that cost basically 10 cents to $1.50 and would allow myself and others to carry on productive and healthy activities?

This is the issue - YOU are not listening. People see through the pantomime. Google and apple have API's to help with exposure notification - no apps developed at national level and few at state level. Other countries went big on apps.

Sure, they may not work great, but there just is a total lack of effort to actually solve the problem.

Same thing with masks. Countries with fractions of our per capita GDP and income levels crank up huge mask production. Total availability - literally the post office handing them out. No, not N95's always, but KF94s and other very effective masks. We are still talking about mask availability?

Same thing with testing. I'm talking walk up no dr referral needed testing. My health care provider WILL NOT test unless you are basically dying. I had a collegue, a once in a lifetime chance to see family (10 years) came up. I told him, find a private pay / doesn't do insurance / doesn't deal with govt testing facility and get tested before traveling so you don't spread it by accident.

What about contact tracing. You have millions of folks unemployed, are paying out 1+ trillion in checks etc to all sorts of people, and you can't get a contact tracing program going. Your telling me none of these people can go down a call list and call folks up?

All I hear from health professionals is how they can't do anything about anything, nothing helps, except staying alone at home. Masks don't help if you don't wear them perfectly, masks can't be found, the apps won't really work so they aren't going to do that. PLEASE get a grip.

Masks will help - so get production going. Contact tracing - hire folks sitting around. Get the apps going, get testing up, get rears in gear. I think if we saw more credible action by the "proper authorities" lecturing us we'd all be more enthusiastic in doing our part (now we can't even get good masks or apps etc).
It is important to understand what this requirement is and isn't. The requirement on Apple Silicon is only that the binary be codesigned. That ensures the binary is unmodified when it is encountered again later. You do not need an Apple-approved signing key for this. Ad-hoc signing works just fine.

Apple's new linker automatically adds an ad-hoc signature to ensure people building outside Xcode don't experience any disruptions as part of this new requirement.

This requirement does not change GateKeeper or Notarization.
This works for some type of software, but not all type of software. For example a file server or a file manager wont work. A VCS client wont work. A game engine that needs to keep track of imported resources (especially when you want automatic imports when the file is saved via a 3rd party tool - e.g. saving a model on Blender or a texture on Krita causes an automatic reimport/convert to the engine's format). Basically any sort of content management software that doesn't provide everything itself but relies on 3rd party tools already installed on the user's machine wont work.

Software like clipboard managers also wont work. Screen sharing and remote desktop software similarly wont work. Screencast software wont work. Hotkeys software wont work. Most desktop automation software wont work.

I could go on and start looking at what i have installed to extend this list (i'm sure most of the software i have on my PC wont work), but i guess you get the idea. Almost everything that doesn't fit in the media consumption model that you'll often find on a phone or a tablet wont work (and amusingly enough, at least on my Android, stuff like a file server does work, though i've heard Google wants to remove that functionality).
> Its primary purpose..

But what about its other purposes? Form the article linked:

> Volvo may be forced to disclose information of this nature to the police or other authorities
It’s knowledge of settlement that causes the “dislocation” of price. Actual settlement has minimal affect.

Price, at equilibrium, is a true representation of value. But other market forces ensure that equilibrium is seldom met. Tax, tariffs, subsidies on the product and its components skew price away from value.

Also, this kind of analysis only works at market level. Individual actors all have different values. It has to be viewed in aggregate. Think anecdote vs data.
To be clear, this just means all binaries need codesign --sign - run on them before they will run. You don't need to pay to do this, so it's a minor annoyance rather than Apple centralizing control of app distribution.
With respect to open source, there is Jitsi which I have seen exactly one person use for a small gathering. So shall we make things more difficult by requiring the use of open source (which I generally support)?

>It looks like in this thread people have different definitions of free market.

No. Words have meaning. You made up a definition for 'free market'.

>For me ...

Well how about we use the general understanding free market? It just makes it easier when you don't redefine common terms. But OK ...

>Now, for jobs, if companies wanted to pay just $1 an hour, would people stop working?

Yes. They would indeed not bother working.

But try it. I can guarantee you that even poor migrant workers would laugh at you if you offered them that kind of wage.

>Given that their alternative is starving, they probably wouldn't

That is not an alternative. I'm not even sure if there was a single case of starvation in the last few decades that was a result of lack of income or lack of a job. On the other hand, plenty of starvation in Soviet Russia ... with full employment!

>You can live without a car, you can't live without a job.

This is just pure gaslighiting. Unemployed people do not die. What are you talking about?

>Which is a separate problem.

No. It's not. It is an unregulated market where minimum wage laws are ignored, and yet, you don't see a race to the bottom. The wage settles at some equilibrium. And yes, skilled labour even in that type of environment will be much much higher than minimum wage. It kills your argument because clearly minimum wage laws are not the thing that prevent a race to the bottom, but rather, you know ... market forces.

Do you also realize there are countries with modern economies that either do not have minimum wage laws, or have one that is much lower.

>And if you've found the formula to live without income, please share it.

That's not what you said. You wrote: "Workers can't usually live too much without finding a job."

But even with this, let me throw it back at you. There are tens of millions of people without income or a job - how do they survive?
Mid to late March after news of Italy started blowing up. Started with spring break extensions and "temporary shutdowns". It's incredible how quickly recent history gets mixed up..

Buy yeah, we are just finishing out month 5 and heading into 6. But the most stringent lock downs were only into May for a lot of places; at least hear in San Antonio.
> because each party values the thing they are receiving more than the thing they are giving away.

We're not disagreeing. I think I could have been imprecise. It seems a lot of arguments made by economists who should know better quietly use models which which effectively ignore the "most basic assumption" or average it out, which is a nonsensical operation.
I was suggesting nothing of the kind. But certainly it wasn't the other way around, either.

My only point is that the AppStore is not the Second Coming. It is and it only is a package manager. Just like all the others that came before it. And nothing more. It is not some searing example of genius. It is one package manager among countless. That it includes a payment system is an irrelevant detail.

What Apple did that is amazing is creating a community of developers out of nothing and gave them excellent tools to create software for their platform. It seemed overnight that the ocean of Windows applications, mostly due to obsession with backward compatibility, was no longer all that special.
Are you including the transmission?

Teslas have a transmission, but it's not in the same league of complexity or weight.
I really don't know how they end up with this, but my grandparents run windows and regularly have some kind of malicious advertisement installed. It's a not easy to keep their computers clean.
