I guess we'll see. The test is in front of us. There are nations using indentured servitude and de-facto slavery and there's the Free World. If the other guys are better at it, let's see them beat us.

I'd rather humanity survive through slavery than be extinct through freedom, but I don't think I need to make that choice since I think free people self-organize into more resilient societies so long as they do not assume too much load of taking care of the non-adapted.

The engine/fuel terminology is not new, it comes from the 1986 paper "Abstracting Timed Preemption with Engines" / Christopher T. Haynes, Daniel P. Friedman:

ftp://ftp.extreme.indiana.edu/pub/techreports/TR178.pdf
"Despite multiple assurances that they could have done it as well, I'm still not aware of any modern art coming out of HN."

I've made abstract art for decades. I don't share it with HN as that's not really what HN is for, and I'm pretty private about it anyway.

I very much doubt I'm the only artist on HN either. Just because you haven't seen HN users' art doesn't mean they don't make any.

That said, I fully agree that many non-artists underestimate how difficult it is to make some art. Also, there's something to be said for doing it first and stretching the definition of what counts as art, no matter how technically "easy" it was.

The quintessential example of this being Malevich's "Black Square".[1] After Malevich, it could be argued that much of the rest of modern art whose main point was to show that "anything can be considered art" could be seen as just minor variations.

Personally, I think the Nobel in Chemistry should have gone to Harry Noller (UCSC), who established that the core function of the ribosome is implemented by RNA, not proteins. After 20+ years of making his case and generally not being believed (even though he had excellent data), a competitor did a crystal structure proving him right and won the prize.

Harry was my advisor and helped me start my career in computational biology back in the mid 90s. I asked him recently about the Nobel and he said it didn't bother him since one the Nobel was awarded, nobody ever doubted he was wrong about the ribosome again.
That's a nice sentiment, but it's built on the idea that one should just ignore the crazies and they'll automatically be marginalized. It doesn't address the situation where one big group decides to weaponize its finge contingent, or where an angry fringe forces itself into what was intended to be a less heated conversations, as in this recent example: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/25/905785548/unmasked-protesters...

Not sure why you got downvoted for this. I expect that this will be Apple’s response 100%. They would come off so good putting up a fight for users.
Not a single one? By reducing the effectiveness of advertising business models, Apple can force apps to use in-app purchasing and gain that 30% cut.

Additionally they do not have to display the permission modal for their own user tracking.

It’s good to display prompts and make users aware of what is happening.. but it should be mandated fairly by a third-party not the company owning the App Store.

Google is heading down a similar route with Chrome. Nuking other’s ability to target ads while improving their own business in some way (in this case improving their ability to track users while negating others).
This is a super neat idea. I have made wedding bands for friends over the years, I usually provided a stainless steel band the right size to wear for a week or two and found that often we would tune the sizes by 1/4-1/2 size or thickness. For expensive bands, it might be neat to offer a trial size for a reasonable fee since wedding rings can have a long life.
Even though it says "initial back-end language(s)" it looks like the information is often pulled from the startup's current career pages. Mixpanel is listed as using Go as one of their initial back-end languages, even though Mixpanel was founded in June 2009, several months before the first version of Go was released.
Thanks. Yes, CapRover seems really nice. And also see Dokku. At some point in the past I decided both did not suit my needs. I can't remember the details exactly, but one thing with CapRover was that auth goes via username and password only, which I don't feel is safe enough (MyPaas uses RSA key pairs).

Anyway, I started out by tying Docker and Traefik together with a mix of Python and bash scripts. Eventually I decided to roll that together into something easier to maintain, so its also useful for others. And "others" includes my future self ;)

To be pedantic, EV do use gears. Most of them have differentials and some gears with a fixed ratio.

What most don't have is gearboxes to change the ratio. The exception is the Porsche Taycan with 2 gears in gearboxes, the second gear slightly improves the acceleration at high speeds and improves the efficiency at high speeds. Accelerating super fast when you are already above the speed limit is not very useful for most people so most electric cars have no gearboxes, despite the slightly better efficiency. It's too complex and expensive. An electric engine has a lot of torque, you need a really good and expensive gearbox to handle it. It makes sense on a Porsche, but not on a Zoé.

Tesla has another alternative on the cars with two motors. They don't have the same gear ratios. The rear motor is used more at low speeds and the front one is used more at high speeds. It's a bit less fast than the Porsche solution but much simpler and cheaper.

In both cases, having different gears indeed improve the efficiency. I think the Tesla solution is very clever but requires two motors, so it's not perfect either. Most eletric cars have a single motor.
The millionaire can fuck up a few times and still be fine that's the real difference.

>; there was never a legal issue with bundling IE.

I suppose 20+ years has erased a collective memory of the conflicts with IE.

Here is a relevant 1998 excerpt[1] from DOJ's own official website:

>The Department today filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction that would:

>-- Require that if Microsoft insists on including its browser on Windows 98, it must also include Netscape's browser so that consumers will have a real choice. Computer manufacturers would have the option of deleting either browser. If Microsoft does not want to include Netscape, it must unbundle its own browser and let it compete on the merits.

As we now know from the 2001 final settlement, the above scenario didn't happen and Microsoft won that IE battle.

Can one do a mental search & replace with s/Microsoft/Apple/ and s/Netscape/Epic/ such as:

"Require that if Apple insists on including its App Store on iPhones, it must also include Epic App Store so that consumers will have a real choice."

If Epic's lawyers (not even the intimidating government DOJ lawyers this time but just a private video game company's lawyers) want to argue the same idea as forcing Netscape onto IE, what would be the new legal argument this time? The previous one failed.

EDIT to sbuk's reply about context: your excerpt trying to show context is itself also missing context. That part about PC manufacturers licensing was the past actions that got the DOJ up to that point of hauling them into court. My excerpt was about the DOJ's proposed future remedy (e.g. must unbundle IE) to reduce Microsoft's future monopoly power -- and that didn't happen. See the very next bullet point below your "context":

>• Microsoft now intends to tie unlawfully its IE Internet browser software to its new Windows 98 operating system, the successor to Windows 95.

DOJ wanted to stop the future IE bundling to Windows 98. They failed.

> Poincaré was nominated a record 51 times for the Nobel Prize but never won.

I feel Poincaré did a lot of good work in physics but he was not... a closer, I guess. He (along with other people) had the basics of relativity on their hands in the early 1900s, but for whatever reason it was Einstein who published the fully-formed conclusions of that whole collective process of exploration.

Poincaré did a lot of great work in math. I think of him as primarily a mathematician.

Who would have thought, government regulation literally can save lives.
The court case is capital fighting capital. If it's the government, then it's the public's capital vs. private capital. The government is often at a disadvantage in this situation due to conflicts of interest and concerns over funds, as private capital is often far richer than anything the government can put forward.

Proper protests etc. are direct action by the people against capital. There are still disadvantages, but they can be drowned out by simple numbers.

Not sure about "healthy", but un-targeted advertising is a total waste of money, unless you're some big generic brand.

High-value advertising revenue generally comes from very specific brands targeting very specific users.

Of course you can do certain kinds of targeted advertising without user profiles, but I don't see how that would work on Facebook.

The US has much stronger legal barriers and recourse for abuse of data as well as strong separation between state and industry. It's not hard to think of why corporate data collection should be treated very differently in the two countries.
Sure. As long as the flip side of that argument is equally appreciated - ad revenue pays for the apps, so less revenue will necessarily lead to fewer "free" apps and/or fewer "free" features and/or worse quality. It's a rational response of the intermediary (i.e. app makers) to the customers (i.e. advertisers) having less access to the product (i.e. us).
There's been a lot of speculation as to why it was ultimately cancelled and whether it was or wasn't profitable. BA certainly claimed it was profitable at the time of withdrawal which was blamed on the airworthiness certificate being withdrawn by Airbus (who bought Aerospatiale) who refused to supply more spare parts. The speculation is more that it wasn't as profitable for BA as first class on a B747-400. It may well not have been profitable for Air France by the end though.
> It's been widely recognized that the majority of piracy is committed by people who would not spend the money on the item anyway

What about other items?

E.g., someone who pirates a graphics editing program that costs several hundred dollars indeed might not have purchased it if piracy had not been available, so arguably that piracy did not cost that software maker a sale.

But if piracy had not been an option, would they have just given up on doing their graphics editing? Or would they have looked around for something else instead? Maybe they would have bought Pixelmator Pro, for example, which is under $30, and can do a lot of things that people pirate the more expensive programs for.

Protesting is very effective when you do actual direct action and civil disobedience. Americans have gotten used to running ignorable police-sanctioned parades and calling them protests.
But then you might end up talking about event loops and routing…

I can see that helping in the sense of holding police responsible once they have taken bad actions but I am not sure if that will help with power seeking actions.

Most people only own their cars for ~3 years. It's unlikley such a policy change will be proposed and implemented in under 3 years, so it shouldn't really factor into anyones decision making much.
This summarizes my experience to a tee. Early on I've found that little compromises on internal quality come back and bite you almost right away. Compromising on that only makes sense if you're 'building one to throw away', in which case rapidity of learning is probably the priority. The problem is that the decision makers almost never want to actually throw it away when the time comes.

I've been doing TDD a long time (18+ years), and I'm definitely pragmatic in the sense that I don't test everything, definitely don't aim for 100% coverage, and don't use mocks often, etc. I aim to extract most of the value from the tests without paying an absurdly high tax on them. Still learning in that regard, but I have had some real successes in testing.

I find this is key in our broader team's ability to keep the internal quality high. It's obviously easy to mess up a code base, but (high quality!) tests have been an important part of that, in addition to refactoring, code review, etc.

> Those are incredibly minimal requirements, basically equivalent to labelling restrictions on food. They're nothing like specifying a detailed spec for application delivery, permissioning, resource access, background update orchestration, UI design for installers and update management etc, etc. And yes this would have to be mandated, otherwise it would leave gaps for vendor implementation abuse. Remember Apple doesn't want to do this at all.

You're moving the goalposts, you originally said:

>>>>> The problem with this is that it would be putting an obligation on Apple to design and implement APIs it doesn't want to create or support, and implement features it disagrees with.

The way this usually works is that the regulators/legislators would come up with relatively high level requirements [1] and Apple would have to figure out the design details to meet them. If their detailed design fails to meet or subverts the high level requirements, then they will be forced to defend their actions in court, where "we don't want to do it" isn't a defense.

[1] Which hypothetically could be as simple as 1) users must have the option to install 3rd party app stores on their devices, 2) 3rd party app stores may not be technically disadvantaged compared to the 1st party store, and 3) maybe some requirements around revenue or cost sharing.

> On your last point, not if you take away the two primary pillars of it's profitability - exclusive payments processing and store exclusivity. Revenues would collapse, which after all is the point of doing all of this, and they'd lose control of the platform.

Explain to me why Apple hasn't abandoned the Mac OS platform for those same reasons, since it doesn't have the "exclusive payments processing and store exclusivity" that you seem to think are so essential.
Eh, smaller electric cars don't help in practice because various regulations require buildings to come with a parking space of a certain size. Nobody is out there building smaller parking spaces for smaller cars. Indeed, Bay Area city Sunnyvale infamously outlawed "compact" parking spaces.

I mean at this point I'm confident every armchair planner is more competent.
But companies have competitors. If one insurance company requires an unnecessarily burdensome design (or charges unreasonable premiums without it) while another allows a more efficient design which is equally safe, customers will prefer the latter and the former will adapt or lose business.

If the government requires an unnecessarily burdensome design, you're screwed.

CALM is actually very much about eventual consistency.
The gist is basically, that distributed systems are only eventually consistent iff they are logically monotonic.

Coordination as used in this article basically means "needs to be decided by an authority". But because of CALM we know that in order to elect an authority/leader, you need a consensus algorithm that actually has monotonicity at it's core, like raft.

There's a really great talk on this by Heidi Howard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTHOwgpMIiU

I actually don't think that database isolation levels are a good way to talk about this stuff, because they are practical guarantees, not theoretical ones. Snapshot isolation for example also requires a leader.

From a theoretical point of view there is no in between (at least none that I can see), either you are eventually consistent or you're not, either you are monotonic or you're not.
I would encourage people to learn both Haskell and OCaml. Between functors, GADTs, recursive types one can already have a lot of fun with the advanced corners of OCaml type system. One point where OCaml and Haskell differs a lot is on the question of abstraction and modularity: Haskell requires a transparent world where type definitions are always visible, and abstract interfaces have always one implementation by type whereas OCaml promotes a world where implementation details might be abstracted away and behavior are not bound to types.
