Contracts are only binding up to a certain amount of capital. You can only make the violator bleed so much.... i don't see contracts as threats to any of these large corporations.
That is strange. The encryption, in that case, only really offers protection against data breaches
One thing to remember is that not all research was being done in corporate labs. A lot of it was being done in universities as today? How was it funded? A lot of competitive funding agencies similar to today's NIH/NSF except being run privately. It's interesting that you bring up Vannevar Bush. He actually ran one of these private funding agencies (The Carnegie Institution) before being tapped to run the Office of Scientific Research and Development and modeled this (and the NSF, which he later ran) after the Carnegie -- that is, he had scientists write proposals which were evaluated by their peers and the ones judged best funded.
Inertia is a thing. Getting up and moving around, be it a morning commute, or just wandering around, makes a big difference. Walk your dog, get a coffee, grab lunch, or just wander 6 blocks.

I also eat lean and avoid most foods during the day. At the office I can force my self to focus -- no bed or TV nearby -- but at home even a large sandwich can put me to sleep.

Also, certain activities I just don't do during the day while working remotely. No TV, no sitting on certain chairs and couches, only certain kinds of clothes, etc.
not true. If you buy into obsidian's features then you loose the visualized graph, a functional task list, all your [[internal links]] break etc...

sure, you've got your core data, but now you've got to recreate obsidian if you want it to work the way you've become accustomed to, and presumably like since you would have used it long enough for this to be a concern.

exporting your data is great, but it's only the beginning. For example: I can export my data from twitter too. It doesn't mean I still have a functional way to share short text thoughts, or the history of them, with their responses linked to other user's accounts or functional way to show all my tweets with a tag or or or ...
I agree. This was probably a much needed product 8-10 years ago, and you'd had a huge market. Unfortunately, I feel your time is ticking and you're way too late.

An mdadm is fine too.
I'll toss out my top 10, which are probably applicable to other vendors:

1. Entirely separate accounts for each stage, and, past dev, all stages are identical.

2. Include a beta stage that doesn't have crap developers set up and forgot. Consider not even giving devs write access to it.

3. Deploy all infrastructure from code via cloudformation or terraform. If you have to use scripts, include deletion logic.

4. Enable cloud custodian to chase down untagged resources. Run it aggressively in dev and beta so it doesn't break prod.

5. Deploy code via artifacts so rolling back is trivial.

6. Integ tests to prove your least privileges IAM roles, routing, security groups, etc. are sufficient.

7. Use CloudTrail and flow logs to prove components still need that access.

8. Load testing in beta to find all the AWS limits before you find them in prod. (Especially, load test any blue/green deployments!)

9. Kill alarm spam with fire. If there's a remedy, automate fixing it. If it's not a real problem, make it a metric. Review your metrics.

10. Figure out where your state (e.g. database) lives and doesn't (which should be most components), and the architecture to make your application resilient should become clear.

And a bonus: You have total control over your AWS environment. Rather than deploying pages of configuration, structure your services so they are configured by convention or introspection[1] as much as possible.

That will never happen. The politician that sets it up will be voted out in the next election and everything he's done will be undone. Even as progressive as I am I will never vote for anyone who wants to nationalize a private company. That's what the CCP does, not America.

Re: Modeling a Wealth Tax

No. The main funding for local communities are property tax ("Grundsteuer") and business tax ("Gewerbesteuer"), income tax share only accounts for about a third. The height of both are also set on the local level the community has a very direct way to change the available money.

The most common catches I'm aware of (doing some research) are:

* Some towns have a requirement that you start a small business to qualify.

* In some towns the houses are auctioned with a starting bid of one Euro. The nicest ones will get bid up a fair bit, but a lot of them close for one to five thousand euro. The nicest ones (minimal renovation required) can close for up to twenty-five thousand euros.

* Often a refundable deposit of two to five thousand euros is required, with the catch that you start moving in or renovating within a year and complete moving in and/or renovating within three years.

* The houses are often long abandoned. Renovation costs are going to be what they are -- significant -- so you best be handy, as you can cut your renovation costs by 80-90% if you eliminate labor costs. Regardless, your renovations will need to be approved.

* Tax contracts and real estate closing costs, which will typically be a few (as in, around 2 to 3) thousand euros.
My feeling is that the pandemic and impending economic collapse will change that.

Remember when the 2008 crisis hit, no one was buying but no one was renting either. And a lot of banks with real estate on their books just let it sit there (where it sits today).

Once a the credit default domino chain starts to fall, people and organization will need to get liquid. The first stage will see some people jump in on pent-up demand but after that, real estate will fall through the floor. It will literally drop to near nothing in places.
In low paid retail land, what is corp policy and not just petty personal BS that has nothing to do with the company in particular is probably just petty BS.
On the other hand, Mozilla has done a lot of stuff which is outside the scope of "Firefox", but which is good for the community as a whole. I mean, that's what Firefox was originally: an offshoot of the Mozilla monstrosity that Mozilla (the organization) took and ran with, to everyone's appreciation.

Plus, if people were donating towards Firefox specifically, how many of them would be upset that Mozilla was spending "their" money on developing a whole new programming language? "This is a waste of my money, just use C++ or something instead of reinventing the wheel".
It's super easy. Pick a registrar, find a name that exists, and pay the ~$15/yr.

If you pick a mail service that lets you bring your own domain, they almost all have step-by-step guides to configure it. It's a half-dozen settings to copy/paste.

Using your own domain certainly isn't a requirement, but it lets you easily get out of this situation without any trouble if your next provider decides to do something you don't like.
Sounds to me like this guy's job is to do repairs. He may even have access to tools/hardware as an Apple Employee that he doesn't have externally.

If he used corporate hardware to do the data transfer, then it doesn't matter if he didn't charge the friend. It would still have been a policy violation.

Just a guess though.
Thank you for your thoughful and interesting reply!

First off, you are absolutely correct in fish welfare being a huge issue. I am in no way condoning the current practices that lead to an average of 20% mortalities in the sea phase in norway, and around 5-10% in regions such as tasmania not affected by sea lice.

Cleaner fish is also a worrying issue with very questionable fish health pactices. Fortunately there are stronger regulations being implemented, that will help remedy some of these issues. One trivial example is that farmers are now required to feed the cleaner fish, whereas they were not before.

I agree that you can absolutely see some horribel looking cages and fish with health issues. The industry explanation is that the percentage that is sick will most likely swim toward the surface and thus give the wrong impression. I say, increase the omega 3 from 1% to 3% and imrpove the quality of the smolt we will surely see benefits.

both offshore and land-based have their issues. net-pen is incredibly efficient and beautiful in its simplicity when it works and the locality is optimal. Salmon will be reared at maximum 25kg/m3, but on land they wanna do 50kg+/m3 to be profitable. They wont do more than 100, as you will see decreasing fish health. For comparison tilapia is known to be farmed at 600kg/m3 in some regions.

Land-based farming will be interesting for sure, and a compeltely new set of issues regarding pathogens and Co2, H2S, NH4 problems. I'm sure they will figure it out. Atlantic Sapphire sure has a lot riding on figuring fish health on land out. Not very promising with the big emergency slaughter the other week.

let me know if you wanna have a chat at some point, always intersting to look at the industry with different eyes.
A tax on the top 1% of net worth households would start much lower than a billion dollars. A quick google search says it's around $10 million. That's more on the order of a medium-large car dealership or similar local business than a significant share in a megacorporation.

HIPAA has a ton of limitations. It doesn't just apply to everybody handling medical data. For example I worked for a biotech and we processed clinical records, HIPAA didn't apply to us but we complied with the regulations anyway.
I don't think it's that, rather it makes it nigh impossible because the browsers will have to be rewritten to use UWP APIs, which were quite limited when they first launched. Also they won't be able to compete with Edge which had access to restricted APIs
I'm amazed so many people care. Not having a Facebook account for me is social suicide. Helps that Messenger is a very good messaging app and Facebook the main site is a good timewaster. Make a throwaway one if you really despise Facebook so much.

Everyone likes parks and plazas and the occasional wide boulevard, it's when there's a bunch of "green space" of indefinite purpose strewn about, and wide streets with big setbacks everywhere because they "look grand" and not to serve demonstrated human purpose. Utopian city designs and planned cities often suffer from both of those blights.

Like Brasilia:

http://tourplans.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/brasilia-cap...

https://brasiliaarch638.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/aerea200...

High-rises but tons of wasted space. If they'd just put in a normal allocation of space for parks & plazas and right-sized roads the whole city could be much smaller and everyone would be fairly close to the actual countryside, not just unpleasant strips of green between wide roads.

Once you start looking for it in concept-art type city plans, it's everywhere: way too much purposeless, empty space, mostly in the form of non-park green spaces and too-wide streets and sidewalks. And if you have all those problems, in a real city at least, then you need a ton more parking, because nothing's walkable and the buses are slow (because everything's so far apart), and that's even more wasted space.
If done properly, the tax would never be more than the annual net return of the farming activities. In theory, if the net gain is low, then the value of the land should also be low. If the land is worth an incredible amount, but not as a farm, well, that is a different problem worth solving. It will always be a never ending races to cover up new loopholes and create proper incentives.
If you Option-click an app, it gives you the option to run the app even if it's not signed. No disabling of Gatekeeper required.
Goderich is a beautiful town—I've been looking at getting out of the city for a while. Maybe we should look to head that way and I should start looking for a job with these guys.

This, to my naive understand, seems like an enormously good idea and seems like they would have a lot of opportunity for relatively cheap resources and developing solutions for stabilizing fluctuating power generation resources like wind/solar.

Please someone with more knowledge in this domain explain further what might be the benefits and shortfalls and pragmatism of this group.
GBOL III: Dark Taxa
C++ and Rust are low-level (or "high control") languages with constraints and goals specific to such languages. For example, they frequently interact with C and so they leak implementation details (like stack addresses); they have lots of pointers into the stack; heap allocation is relatively costly and requires explicit bookkeeping and management; they prefer constructs with well-known worst-case costs even for the price of having low abstraction (“high abstraction” being representing many similar things with one construct, even if they differ in implementation). My point being that the design constraints for low-level and high-level languages are very different, and what's good for one is often bad for the other.
Wealth tax already exists in several forms. There is tax on property, income, employee wages, sales tax, etc. All are "wealth" taxes. Someone without wealth cannot be taxed!

Do the wealthy have more power in government than the average person? Yes and no. They have money to buy and make their voice loud, but so do other wealthy people that disagree. It is individual responsibility to vote and hold government accountable which it will always be. Taxing good behavior or morals does not work. A wealth tax on top of what already exists is bullshit. Not to mention if the wealthy control the government a wealth tax isn't going to change that. It will just allow the wealthiest access to more people's money that wasn't theirs to begin with.

What were those?

What I remember from Cello was that it was very simple. It just contained the bare minimum of functionality that a browser needed to support. I don't think there were any extras. It also had a very small executable size.

I think it's correct that the name, at least, and maybe some of the functionality, was derived and inspired from Viola.
Yes and what happened every time in between? Significant civil unrest or wars. The first and second world wars actually acted as great equalizers (as did the civil war, the French revolution etc.) everytime after a new "aristocracy" develops and tries to keep keep the wealth to themselves. So I guess we need another upheaval, is that the argument?

> Most of the super-wealthy don't achieve that wealth on the back of the S&P500

Are you saying that most of the super-wealthy do not (at least to a certain point) diversify their investements? Or is your point that most super-wealthy individuals acquired their wealth themselves by investing (or founding) a single corporation themselves?
> Reduced capital investment, and more specifically reduced efficient in capital investment doesn't necessarily follow from increased consumer demand.

Of course not. However, the original question was about the government redistributing resources from capital ("the wealthy") to consumers, which would have the direct effect of shifting the balance from capital investment to consumption.
Ask HN: Girl Movie Night

Just name some good shit that girls want to watch, as timeless as possible, because I don't date Marvel bitches no offence. Let's release the girls of war,. Give your best titles under here:
It's worth noting that Bell Labs existed because the government recognized that the Bell monopoly was a social ill and insisted that to counteract the problem some of the money had to be earmarked for research.

Today the government doesn't even dream of that kind of regulation anymore. The idea of doing something purely for the public good seems to be lost in the race to make the quarterly numbers as big as possible.

Isn't react open source though? Why would you care about the source of it if it serves your purpose? Facebook doesn't make any money off react or as far as I know use it for political leverage. Can you point out why you'd quit using a technology because the person/company behind it is "bad" ? The Nazis improved rocket technology tremendously during WW2 and we didn't toss that knowledge because the Nazis invented it.
You'll be downvoted because HN etiquette not because people necessarily disagree with your sentiment
I read the actual study. It counts any vessel that crossed out of Chinese EEZ during the year to be DWF which is a stupid metric. Further Chinese EEZ was undefined which is a gross oversight. Does the count include vessels operating in SCS within China's 9dash bounds? Obviously China wouldn't categorize vessels in her "domestic" waters are DWF. This distinction is as least worth a mentioning but the paper glosses over it entirely. It's typical lazy reporting based on poor research.
The ex Apple employees, including one posting here, say the conflict of interest policy does not prevent helping friends or family with tech problems for free.

It seems plausible this guy did so for money. Note that the post says the work was done in spare time but doesn’t say it was done for free. That would be a conflict of interest because it’s engaging in commercial activities also engaged with by Apple.
I think we've shown what a greedy species we are. I don't know what we can expect people to live a smaller life and consume less voluntarily. In my opinion, given our track record, that is why I suggested a lower total as a max. Maybe one day we'll be able to create energy and food locally that is carbon neutral and then we could handle more population but that doesn't seem possible now or anytime soon.
Yev here -> Yes we want to mitigate large batch failures by adding some drive/vendor diversification, that's definitely part of the equation!
Oculus Quest is actually a complete gaming console, which is why you can use it for untethered play. You can buy and install games on it.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I would encourage anyone interested in doing good to mostly abstain from animal products altogether. This must not necessarily be carried to extreme veganism but if you have the choice to not use animal products it’s in almost all circumstances better to take it. Plant based products are generally better for our health, our future, and the animals.
I find the analysis and conclusion flawed. A moderate wealth tax (2-5%) will only have small effects on existing fortunes. Additionally he fails to mention that only the super rich will be affected by it.

I have an Oculus Go and pretty much only use it for Skybox and nothing else. I hope I can just disable all updates and keep using it without connecting it to a FB account. I haven't even bought anything on the store.

I guess it might be time to look at FOSS alternatives for these devices, just to keep basic functionality. I wonder if the bootloaders are locked.
We're already at 780K deaths globally with COVID, and flu season hasn't hit yet. 3.6K died yesterday[0], so we're only ~60 days away from 1M deaths, assuming that the death rate doesn't change.

How are concrete numbers exaggerated? How are concrete numbers not fact? Neither of those figures you posted seem out of the realm of possibility here, we're still in the middle of this pandemic that will continue on for many more months.

It's kinda hard to compare previous viruses in their totality when we're still seeing thousands dying every day, no?

If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event.
