This makes me wonder how open source is supposed to work on macOS. People seem to become more and more aware of it and even enterprises that insisted on support contracts can see that they can't get around open source completely anymore. Meanwhile Apple is removing the ability for me to have a pet project without paying an Apple tax.

If the message were completely transparent, something like "The developer didn't pay $99 for us to do a cursory check on them (or whatever it is that Apple does with that money), are you sure you want to run their software? [Move to trash] [No] [?]", then that would give the user the relevant information to make this decision, but as it is, virtually no mac user will understand what is really going on.

I also can't imagine $100 is easy to come up with in countries below level 4[1]. The OpenStreetMap Foundation recently introduced a way to waive the yearly £15 fee for OSMF membership if you have a certain number of map edits or otherwise contributed to the project. The OSM community seems to be quite diverse, but I can't imagine that Apple computers are less widespread than OpenStreetMap.

Yes. Exactly.

When things are mostly working, people don't want you to break stuff. When things are clearly not working, you can get agreement to try "the crazy thing."
> web browsers and all kinds of stuff on a machine with just 4mb of ram

The PDA's have less RAM and they still had browsers and in some cases, even emulators.
Your answer reminds me; we are focusing on Hacker News as if it's its own thing, but part of the answer is right in the URL. HN is a part of ycombinator, which presumably pays the bills.
> Society is fundamentally based on the notion of shared rights and duties

This statement is equally ideological. Proximity to others imparts no responsibility outside what individuals choose to take on for themselves.

You may subscribe to it, but not everyone has to. Most of our social unrest today can be laid at the feet of those who insist otherwise.
> No, they prove that people who are in a program that is very clearly temporary will not end their careers for a short pilot program. This means nothing.

They provide lower bounds on the amount of time you can offer a guaranteed income without adverse effects on people's employment. Going to an extreme, if you offer people a 40 year UBI and they don't quit, then that's pretty damn strong evidence. 3 years offers some evidence; for particular subpopulations with short time horizons, if they keep on working for three years on UBI, I'd bet almost arbitrary amounts of money they'll keep on working indefinitely.

> No. If you make $1k from a job and $1k from a pilot program each month, you spend the $1k from the pilot on legitimate bills and now you have $1k to spend however you like. The study can't trace that money. (This isn't to say everyone on UBI uses it for drugs, rather, it's to point out that you cannot deduce they don't just by tracing the way the transfer payments are spent)

I believe these studies rely on self-reported alcohol etc consumption. The issues with self-reported consumption are already well-known and well-characterized.

> No kidding. You gave someone several thousand dollars no strings attached in a situation where neither taxes nor inflation would rise as a result.

These things are always worth verifying. One of the criticisms against a UBI is that it'll create a population of depressed losers who never interact with society. If people's lives and happiness are improved, that addresses that criticism.

> What UBI skeptical people want to know is where is the proof that we can afford to tax ourselves to pay ourselves, where is the proof that it won't hurt long term productivity, and where is the proof that it doesn't cause inflation. A 120 person 36 month trial program cannot answer any of these questions.

Could anything short of a full UBI implementation work as proof for you? If not, can you suggest what would? If, say, you took a random selection of 1000 people and promised them a lifelong UBI, and their labor force participation and levels of happiness stayed the same over the first ten years of the program, would that serve as proof to you?
My objection to your argument is that taxis and other car services existed long before Uber and Lyft, usually with some level of safety supposedly being provided by government licensing requirements for drivers.

The big problem with taxis is that they're inconvenient to use. You either have to take a chance at hailing one or call a switchboard, having no idea in advance of how long it will take to get picked up.

Uber/Lyft's platform largely solved the inconvenience problem, they could have offered it as a service to existing taxi companies/drivers without getting involved in all the regulatory issues.
> The notion that you need an 'ingress' pod AND an external load-balancer, just to be able to respond to internet traffic - and not even all internet traffic (only HTTPS) - is truly staggering.

If you are on a cloud provider, the load balancer abstraction is handled for you by AWS load balancer or Google Compute load balancer so really a non-factor.

I own and run a DevOps consulting company[1], and clients of course want to deploy their software on-prem which becomes significantly harder and more time consuming. Personally, I use MetalLB[2] by the folks at Google which creates a LoadBalancer abstraction and then use Traefik[3] in front of all deployments (containers). Traefik handles creating the SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt either via http or DNS challenge. The benefit here is only a single LoadBalancer is created pointing to Traefik, and then Traefik terminates https and routes to all the deployments (containers).

Just go buy a pre-2012 Toyota, take it to a reputable independent Toyota-specific shop in your area, and say "make it good, boss". Pay him whatever he asks.

Then go find an insurance broker, ask them to put you in touch with someone who can provide you with an agreed-value insurance policy. Insure the vehicle for purchase price + what the shop changed you.

Get regular oil changes at Jiffylube, and take the car into the Toyota guy once a year. Although it may not be flashy, you'll have a reliable, efficient ride for many, many years.

New cars simply aren't worth the creepy factor.
NYC saw substantial social unrest and didn't see any COVID spikes; marches and demonstrations have extended for months and the test positivity rate remains low.

I believe it's the decision not to reopen indoor dining and bars, and to mandate masks, that saved NYC the resurgence that the rest of the country has seen. You absolutely can control COVID even during the current period of social unrest; the US largely chose not to. COVID doesn't seem to like to spread that much during largely masked, outdoor protests. It loves to spread in bars and parties.

School is opening soon, so things will probably get worse, but nevertheless: NYC demonstrates that in an American context, COVID can still be controlled pretty well.

(NYC government has a lot to answer for w/r/t the initial response in March, but that's not the same issue)
The PSX had similar MHZ but with a less powerful MIPS CPU and less RAM.
> First of all a rational actor will not intentionally pay a worker the value of their production; you get no profit.

That's true for a single employee, but you don't need to make a profit out of every single employee.

If you do, your CEO will be extremely underpaid in relation to the rest of the market.
> Hard to argue that this act fell outside the confines of the Congressionally authorized war in Iraq.

Congress didn't authorize war “in Iraq”, but to protect against threats from Iraq (in context of the resolution, pretty clearly the State not the geographical area.)
I’m very curious about your daily schedule. I was homeschooled for 12 years, 1 of 5 kids so I’m familiar with home education and having a hard time imagining how a single adult can both work and teach and take care 4 kids.
> But I think you overestimate how much "you could save" by giving away your driving habit privacy. Most auto-insurance trackers are currently offering discounts "of up to 15%" if you qualify as a "good driver". Seriously, that's like what $40 on a typical 6 month policy? And you have to drive perfectly at all times, no speeding ever, no rapid acceleration, no sudden stops, etc. All of that is being tracked. And you most definitely cannot get in an accident at all.

This all seems like conjecture. The auto insurance market is pretty competitive, and if an insurance company misprices their insurance, there are plenty of other insurance companies out there that will correct it.
Local tourism is fine but international is not. Airline travel is not fully functional yet.
> "unchecked" might be a better annotation come to think of it.

Yeah, it's come up before in discussions here. Depending on the context you're coming from/working in, unchecked either makes more sense, or less sense than unsafe. When working within Rust, unsafe makes sense, it maps to how people think about what they are doing, because rustc is checking everything. When working between Rust and other languages/libraries, it's a bit less accurate, and "unchecked" makes more sense.

The example is not about inflation, it's just a method to show how without any specific action, companies don't have incentives to raise wages. But in fact, it's a real example because it's what has been happening in the US for a while, inflation increasing, company profits increasing but profits stagnating.

Anyways, the point is that companies will tend to push for lower wages, always. It's just how capitalism works, it pushes for maximizing profits. If there are more workers than jobs (which is the case almost everywhere) you can't say that competition will push companies to increase wages, because there will be no competition, and workers can't just stay home if there are no satisfying jobs.
Having been to the Maghreb, I completely agree with you. There are Tuaregs and Amazigh and even the locals who are "Arabs" are a mixture. I should have used the term Arab-speaking world instead of Arab. There is no ethnic notion of Arabs as a race and I understand that. Shukran :)
This behavior frustrates me, as a seasoned (=old) Mac user, but I am simultaneously quite grateful for it existing on my parents Macs.

It would be nice if there was a Sys Prefs option to add a "run anyway" button to the initial prompt. It wouldn't even need to be on by default. Just give me the option.
What a useless article. No real conclusion and no new information.

Raising the minimum wage CAN have negative effects. This is obvious. If you raise the minimum wage to $10,000 per hour, what happens? Hamburgers cost $1,000 each and nobody buys them. Restaurants become insolvent and they close. Bad outcome.

I believe no minimum wage CAN also have negative effects but those effects are less clear to me. Maybe workers get taken advantage of by companies? But is a minimum wage the best way to fix this? Would love to hear other thoughts on what specifically a minimum wage fixes compared to having no minimum wage.
"Millions of people live every day with only a couple of dollars a day."

Not in the USA they don't. There is no possible way that an individual could pay for food, clothing, and shelter on that income.
A music buff probably listens to music for the enjoyment of doing so and take active interest in its creation and history, and their "buffness" is a simply side effect of long-term application of this habit.

Because it takes tens of millions of dollars to replicate the functionality of the Ipod-Iphone.

Chinese do it in a completely different way, using prefabricated components.

Secret services can not use prefabricated Chinese components because those need to be audited and that cost millions too.

So using already made American companies components' is the obvious solution. It just cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Right now there is no exist strategy. There are possibilities though.

Assuming a vaccine doesn't appear, then we're left with herd immunity through community infection. There are problems with that though, because it's not yet clear whether infection with the COVID-19 virus even makes a person immune to future infection.

Amidst all the uncertianty a vaccine is our best hope. Personally I'm assuming this will be with us in some shape or form for many years.
> We got damn close to elimination in many areas.

Where?

Poland took some early actions but there are no covid free areas. Infections rates have plateaued but remain on a more or less constant levels. And people are getting upset. It will be really hard to keep them homes during the second wave... Same seems to be true for Czech Ostrava region.

That's just a perfect way to word that. Gonna save that one for later.
Have you considered the converse of very larger companies that have a stranglehold on their market (like Walmart, perhaps) pushing for a higher minimum wage to stifle smaller businesses in the same domain?

It seems like a viable tactic, though I will admit I have not looked into it much myself.
General question:

when somebody will push into Filecoin some "bad" files (anything, from docs needed by the mafia to children being sexually abused, to fake videos/claims/whatever about you, to any other bad things you can think of), how can that be detected and then deleted? (ignoring here the theme related to accountability)

Question based on https://docs.filecoin.io/introduction/why-filecoin/ :

Filecoin resists censorship because there is no central provider that can be coerced into deleting files or withholding service. The network is made up of many different computers run by many different people and organizations. Faulty or malicious actors are noticed by the network and removed automatically.

In this context I'm not a believer of "automatically".
> Also congratulations for not caring about a 1 in 200 chance of death.

>> Where's the data to back up any close to an assertion like this?

Latest IFR estimates are between 0.5% and 1.0% (1 in 200 to 1 in 100).

https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/estimating...
No, it is setting a wide range and excluding the extremes -- that is, people who aren't even within spitting distance of a good faith debate. 0.01% IFR would be 1/10th of the seasonal flu. And 50% would be up there with bubonic plague. I feel pretty comfortable with my definition of 'reasonable people.'
Great comment, thanks for the suggestion. Fightcamp are actually another former YC company - they started as Hykso punch trackers before pivoting to Fightcamp more recently. They are approaching the more conventional fitness market - like Peloton but with boxing, and their prices and model reflect this.

With Quell we're more focused on the immersive gamification - using combat fitness alongside a compelling story to engage users who find existing fitness gamification falls short of what they need to motivate themselves.

Rents are easily adjusted for the new income.

Limiting the increase of rents is often named as a feasible remedy. However this can be circumvented by renovations, after which the rent can be increased. Or reversely, renovations might be omitted totally, which yields a net quality decrease for the inhabitants in the long run.

The argument made wasn't so much about getting more range from regen as about regen lessening the impact of added mass: with perfect regenerative braking, a ten ton vehicle wouldn't use much more energy than a one ton vehicle if they shared the same outer hull.

Real life doesn't have perfect regen, but on the other side of the equation real life ICE cars actually lose more efficiency to added weight than just what is converted to heat while breaking because they tend to compensate worth a bigger engine to get comparable (or better even) acceleration than a lighter counterpart and that means that during cruise where the mass is irrelevant the engine is running at all an even worse load point in terms of efficiency. ICE are terribly inefficient at partial load and when your engine is sized to get decent acceleration despite high total mass you simply can't gear long enough to get the engine to a reasonable load point in a moderate speed cruise. Electric motors don't have this problem (or a much, much smaller version of it), so they wouldn't suffer quite as hard from added mass as ICE even worth no regen at all.
Windows is starting to pull the same shit. Walled garden OS's are the future for most regular users.
You have the wrong insurance maybe? Geico recently refunded money to its customers because of the change in driving habits during Covid quarantine. That seems to indicate a company that at least balances their insurance needs based directly on how many miles are being driven.
The book is definitely not closed, but the other limits are somehow less problematic than the license-based downclocking.

You you use more power (and get hotter temps: these are exactly proportional, so you can mostly just talk about them as one) with wider vectors because you are doing more work. When you look at it on a per-element basis, you use less power per element with wider vectors. E.g., you might use 1 pJ per element for 256-bit FMA but only 0.8 for 512-bit FMA.

Of course, since you can do 2x as many total elements in 512-bits on a 2 FMA machine, you can be both more efficient but use more total power, so you can get TDP or thermal limits with 512-bit code that you wouldn't on 256-bit, but it should still per faster and more efficient per element.

All of this assumes you can usefully use the 2x more work with the larger vectors. Sometimes the scaling is worse: e.g., for lots of short arrays, when a lookup table is involved, when additional shuffling or transposition is required with larger vectors, etc. In that case you could end up less efficient with larger vectors.
I run my own business. Been a web consultant / developer for over 17 years. I have a pretty steady clientele right now. I work 6 to 9am, then 10-11pm, and I usually get a hour or two in during the day. Plus I work 6am to 10am weekends, maybe more if my wife isn't tired and hangs out with the kids on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
What a strange coincidence... just last night, after reading about the death of designer Jorge Zalszupin and searching for information and photos of his work, I stumbled upon a piece of wall art from 1980 that clearly uses these techniques.

This feature is at about the right spot for me.

It is still convenient enough for me to run software I want that isn't signed, but sufficiently obtuse that neither of my parents have figured it out. Given they are both prone to running any executable that any website tells them to download and run, this feature has probably save me several dozen hours of fixing their computers.
Well clearly you are incorrect because all of the smart people said we have to test to make sure that the kids are learning and we can only make sure that the kids learn by sitting them down and making sure they know the trivia for the test to make sure their learning, because the smart people said the test will make them learn, by making sure their learning.

On the bright side, for every one of the above administrators there is a teacher who actually wants to help kids grow.

> That’s interesting and kind of surprising to me. How does one use honey as a treatment? Just eat some? How much? How often? Etc.

This is what I do when I notice the first signs of a dry or sore throat / have cough / or other types of infections in the mouth or throat:

I buy forest-originating honey (it is usually darker color and in my country it usually has the slight aroma of pine trees), but I have also used other types. I take 1-2 teaspoons honey, but I do not swallow it. I let it slowly dissolve it in my mouth, so that it can slowly go down the throat and have the eventual effect last longer.

After that, I take a cup of hot mint tea.

I am a scientist, I understand that I might be misleading myself, I know that there might not be any effect and that I might be imagining everything, but it really feels better after this.I certainly feel an immediate effect -- it is alleviating the pain or the burning sensation in the throat, but this effect does not last long. So every couple of hours I repeat the procedure.

In fact, I should say that having a spoonful of honey, slowly melting it in the mouth, and then drinking a cup of tea, should not be considered as just a procedure or a medication, but as enjoyment and one way to make you feel better in an otherwise miserable day.

If it really helps to speed up recovery - then why not? It is not harmful, unless you have diabetes or alergy.

Anyway, the point is not to dilute the honey in hot tea. Supposedly, all beneficial substance is lost in high temperatures.

In addition, I once watched a German documentary about a clinic that experiments with different types of honey and use it for treating open wounds that take much longer to heal otherwise. They used special honey, put it on bandage and put it on the wounds.

Finally, one should not forget that feeding some microorganisms with sugars might not be a good idea and can increase their growth and reproduction, so it's best that you consult a medical doctor for every illness especially if it's severe.

> West Germany needed to be an ally

Oh, I definitely agree with this! This attitude also helped shape the narrative of WW2, especially of the Eastern Front [1], by former Wehrmacht officers in the employ of the US Army Historical Division. The Cold War made friends of former enemies, and let them tell their story in an unprecedented way -- an instance of history being told by the losers.
