Rich people pollute the most, but that means that as non-rich people become richer (as they are rapidly now doing as a result of globalization), pollution increases substantially over time. Likely at a higher rate than you can offset with externality pricing because good luck getting developing nations to agree to that.

> Clojure is wholly inadequate to meeting challenges of the industry today

Interesting point. Sadly, it seems engineers at Apple, Cisco, Walmart, NASA, CircleCI, Pandora, Grammarly, Funding Circle, Nubank and hundreds of other companies are amateurs who don't know jack-shit about challenges in the industry and keep building their sand-castles using their incredibly flawed tools. I'm sure, these losers would soon vanish from the radar and we would never hear about them. Just give it a few years.
A simpler explanation: the guy sincerely believes there should be more Americans and is also decent at self-promotion (which is how he got where he is).

The entire history of the country is thus. The Alien and Sedition Act, then there was the Know Nothing Party, the Immigration Act. There is serious scholarship in this area of history, smart people have devoted lifetimes of hard work to researching and writing about it. We import people and then we oscillate the other way.

The case for .7B more Americans isn't worth reading. The human species is alread above the carrying capacity of the Earth, and this is a title that's too stupid to warrant reading the article below it.

We still have hardening of the arteries just like Otzi the Iceman did. By the same token, some of the most well described instances of neurosis and psychosis in literature are described in some of our oldest texts.

IOW: It's more likely to be good genetic mechanisms gone wrong than good genetic mechanisms going right. Everything good can go wrong, and maybe the limited set of symptoms that can present themselves when good genetics malfunctions are the things like cancer, hardening of the arteries, and mental "quirks" that have been with humanity for as long as the archeological record suggests.

There is no evolutionary pressure to get rid of the good genes and so the advantages of having working genetic mechanisms outweigh the fewer yet forever inevitable instances in which those expressions can go wrong, and those things will be with humanity forever.
That's my question! How is "free" land is different from any other? It's just a convention established by the government i.e. if you try to settle on somebody's land then eventually armed people will show up and make you go. So how is it different from the anarchy? Who will provide the "freedom" of the land and is incapable to do it now?

"nearly 500,000 slaves in the slave-holding border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland or Delaware) which were Union states."

The rest of the states outlawed slavery and that's where the free market was.

18 people in a nation of millions does not alter the character of the market.

If you can show the industrial power of the North was powered by slave labor, that would be interesting.

They made the changes that they thought were necessarily for their drivers to not qualify as employees under the new law. Then on short notice a court ruling determined that they hadn’t done enough and the drivers would still count as employees. That’s the “short notice” aspect.

I agree with the core of greatgib's comment but disagree with framing around the person. The problem is not with the developer. We're all trying to write code to help each other grapple with complexity.

The problem is with the effect that `import *` has on others' experience of trying to orient themselves to a codebase.

-------------

One of the great things about python is that when you see a variable or method name, you can look up and see where it comes from. This genuinely reduces the cognitive cost of reading a python codebase. Throwing that away has a real impact on people.

I'll own that part of my reaction comes from the fact that I've been writing ruby professionally for 4 years now and I miss python namespaces ever so terribly.

My question is still not answered by this and I don't see how is this related at all, to be frank. It's almost as if your answer is not quite coherent.
unless someone also “upgraded” the breaker

That happens. 10 years ago or so there was a big explosion at the University of Texas, Austin. The Chemistry Department had a storage vessel for liquid nitrogen. Of course the cold liquid evaporates and creates pressure inside the container. Typically the internal pressure is held at 1.5 bar by means of an escape valve. The escape valve failed and someone replaced it with a solid brass plug. To prevent accidents if the escape valve fails there is also a burst disk that breaks at higher pressure but before the tank itself explodes. That mechanism worked as designed, it released pressure, so they replaced the emergency release valve with a brass plug as well. One nice night the burst pressure of the tank itself was exceeded, and the bottom launched itself through the floor. The top was stopped by a concrete beam, but it did break a few water pipes.

I apologize if this is a naive question but how do I make sense of microcode_8086.txt in the zip file? Just using line 1 or 000. I understand from the final column(s) that this concerns a MOV instruction and Mod R/M byte is that correct? How do I understand what everything to the left of that means?

000 A CD F H J L OPQR U R -> tmpb 4 none WB,NX 0100010??.00 MOV rm<->r

Similarly how do I understand what each of the different files in the zip file represents?

The authors states:
>"I used bitract to extract the bits from the two main microcode ROMs, and also from the translation ROM which maps opcode bit patterns onto positions within the main microcode ROM."

Is the the translation ROM the translation.txt file then? Is that the key to understanding these files? If so why wouldn't there be more than the 38 or so Op codes listed?
If your priors are oriented toward anti-natalism, this is the logical argument to make. Mine are not. I think anti-natalism is a failure state. I haven't heard any compelling arguments about why we shouldn't try our very best to innovate our way out of our crises instead.

Of course, innovation means reorganizing the entire world economy around R&D, and that means (among other things) throwing the gates open to any immigrant with talent. Too many Einsteins are stuck in countries with failed institutions, where their talents can't be harnessed. It is critical for the survival of humanity to try and get as many of them to our shores as possible, and do the research we desperately need done.
Wouldn’t the breaker trip if you try to suck 45 amps through a 15 or 20 amp breaker?
That's quite hard because it is lack of motivation for people to build such mini-services with risk of being sued. It is quite easy to get some illegal stuff when you host a service without review which is almost impossible for individual service provider to do.

There is one way which may reduce the risk. Build your whole system in RAM including OS. When totally power off, everything is volatilized. To lower the cost of RAM, one could just put the OS and service in RAM, but let the encrypted data in drive with key in RAM/RAM-disk.

The difficulty here is building a OS in RAM. There are some tricks but most of them need a host which may contribute to vulnerability.
I'm struggling to understand what you're trying to argue, to be honest.
At one time, a minority of people were on the internet, often with their own blogs, but most people were just watching TV.

Now, most people are on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and a few other massively high-traffic websites, while a minority of people are on the rest of the internet, often with their own blogs.

It's not as different as it looks, it's just that the TV networks got displaced by the few high-traffic websites. It's apocalyptic for for-profit TV, radio, and newspaper companies, who have been mostly circling the drain as FAANG gobbles up their ad revenue. But the impact on "the internet" is not as different as it looks, it's just that "the internet" now needs a new name, like maybe "the low-traffic-website internet" but shorter (tltwi, pronounced "tilt-we"), because the Old Media are now co-hosted on the same infrastructure.

Most people didn't get on the internet prior to AOL. Most people don't leave the high-traffic-sites internet now. It's not like there aren't any blogs left. It's not as different as it looks.
What an interesting idea. It's like an anti-advertisement. I can easily imagine how this could be replicated as a political campaign (and this does appear to be political -- why else end after Nov 3 election?).

I wonder how the economics (or outcomes) work out paying targeted, undecided, persuadable, but likely voters in key states to withdraw from the advertising blitz of the opponent, as opposed to continuing to compete for ads.
I don't think it's unreasonable to read it that way, but for Tesla it's the name of a particular package that is meant to allow the car to drive itself _at some point_ via software updates and they don't claim it does so currently.
Ask HN: How can I prevent myself from being doxxed?
I imagine my practices are similar to many other HN readers. I follow some privacy best practices but don't generally seek anonymity online. You can google me and find my social media accounts, some articles I've written or for which I was interviewed, and figure out what city I live in. That is to say, my online persona is not entirely locked down.

Let's say I wanted to prevent myself from being doxxed. What steps could I take to make it more difficult?

It's worse than that! That's a NEMA L6-20, not a L5-20. That means whatever's on the other end is expecting a 240V, 20A source. And you're providing 120V, 15A.

If you're really lucky, it'll start in "safe mode" with a warning light or message. If you're just lucky, it'll refuse to start at all. If you're unlucky, it'll run but silently limit its capability, so you don't know about your ticking time bomb. And if you're really unlucky, the power supply on the other end is a SMPS which will try to pull down 40 amps....

EDIT: Never mind. The photo appears to be marked L6-20R, but that's an illusion. It's actually shaped, and if you squint marked, to match an L5-20R, which is 125V 20A. Carry on....

Circuit breakers are not guaranteed to trip quickly for currents just slightly above their rating.

Take the look at the trip curve for a QOB120, an unremarkable residential circuit breaker: https://download.schneider-electric.com/files?p_enDocType=Tr...

The top end of the graph is labeled 10,000 seconds. If there's a marginal wirenut connection between the breaker and the powered equipment, you may not want to give it 2.7 hours to heat up, possibly catching fire.

After a century of experience, we now design electrical systems with multiple overlapping safety systems. That photo of the plug shows an earthing pin, after all. That pin does nothing, and is not required for the device to function. It is only there in the event a connection fails and a live wire touches the metal case of the equipment. This is rare, but if you tour the parts of the internet featuring accidental deaths, bad grounding is an entire category of video.

Think of it as a code smell. It not an error, and won't prevent the equipment from working. But it's not good.

Don’t rich people also drive the economy? They buy lots of goods and services from other people. They own businesses which employ people. They invest capital in income producing business that create value and employ people. They donate money which helps others (albeit for tax benefits). And if they park their money in cash in their backyard then they are reducing the circulates money supply which slows inflation and keeps prices of burritos for the Plebians from doubling every 10 years as we have grown accustomed to. What can rich people do that is not helpful to the economy (ie other people)? Even money spent on fancy meals, Ferrari’s, yachts all keep regular people and their families fed! It’s such a fallacy to point a our fingers at the rich!

> You know when you are solving a given technical problem. With practice your solutions become more refined with increased performance.

Whether those are common definitions, someone who lasts a company for years gets to be a “senior developer”.

I knew an “architect” who was the first developer at a startup, who had been there for over a decade and as the company grew, he got promoted as newer people cane in. He made every mistake in the book of an “expert beginner”. Writing bespoke unmaintainable ORMs and logging frameworks, and treating a database as a queue, etc.

I was optimizing assembly language in middle school by counting clock cycles in the 80s on my 65C02 (ie the 74 in my username).

Was I a “senior developer” in 8th grade because I knew how to make my assembly language programs 33% faster by reading a writing from the 1st page of memory and using branch instructions instead of JMP instructions?

I was writing inline x86 assembly in the early 2000s when I looked at the decompiled assembly and I knew I could squeeze some performance out of it.

You know what I didn’t know because I thought I was so smart and didn’t learn from other people?

I didn’t know the ecosystem of my chosen platform so I would know what I shouldn’t write at all and just pull down from Nuget or the package manager of the platform I was using.

I didn’t know when I should build versus outsource because it didn’t add business value and wasn’t what gave us an “unfair advantage”.

I didn’t know how to mentor junior developers to be a force multiplier.

I didn’t know how to make choices that was best for the team or the business.

I didn’t know how to talk to end users to solve XYProblems.

I didn’t have the social skills to know how to “disagree and commit”.

Writing the wrong thing “optimally” is not the definition of a senior developer.
Sure! The Zero is great as a cheap DAQ, I use them all the time. But the SBC that it's being compared to is much more full featured and I don't think you can say it's worse or even comparable.

Free healthcare is a right!
These are great questions and I’m glad you’re bringing ethics in. But the parent posters context was that the “solid engineering” by google === faster delivery. I think that’s backwards. If you are an advocate of being more conservative with engineering to be safer - then you can’t have your cake and eat it too, you should hope it goes slowly. That’s literally the whole point.

I’ll be the first to criticize Tesla for the shoddy, dangerously worded rollout of Autopilot. Totally. Has it saved more lives than lost? Who knows.

But to argue that googles more conservative approach should somehow deliver FSD faster is just a contradiction. Perhaps they brute force it like I said already. But the fast rollout by Tesla == more dangerous == more data. If you’re talking engineering delivery time, then yea Tesla is taking a calculated risk of getting much more data much faster. They should be able to deliver faster, engineering-wise.
