You got it! the main idea is for it to be a "solve the problem" thing with certain framework.

I've got guys that just google it, others that do a script and sleep within the script, and the guy that suggested the while. All of them are "right" answers for me... I don't really care about how they do it, but the process perform while doing it.

Fact is, during the life of a DevOps, they will need to solve things that they don't know how to, so they'll need to be able to at least Google-fu themselves out of the problem.
I would get rid of all tax deductions period, but in the case of non anonymous donations, the chance of quid pro quo and inability to prove it is so high, that I just view it as a tax loophole for the rich.

If it lowers the amount people donate, then it proves my point...that people were intending to get something in return, hence not a donation.
The anti-nuke environmentalists spend massive amounts of time and energy building public distrust of nuclear. They managed to shut down existing nuclear reactors with safe track records. This makes me pretty skeptical we'll be able to get new ones on line regardless of how much safer they are.

Getting the NRC to approve them is one thing, getting a city to allow a nuclear power plant of any kind in their back yard is a whole other ball-game.
I expect Peloton will integrate with Fitness+, and the arrangement will be quite profitable for both parties.

They did. The plastics industry sinked millions in campaigns to convince the people plastics are reclyclable. The only thing missing from being a true Musk move is that they came up with it themselves, instead of buying off the idea from someone else.

"People" in the U.S. support lots of things in the abstract, until you force them to think about the trade-offs involved in actual policies. People might support universal healthcare, but nobody wants to pay the taxes to pay for it. Which is why Sanders promises not to raise taxes on people making below $250,000 (!). Biden beat Sanders because a large number of Democrats are actually quite conservative (especially people of color, who are often in the Democratic Party for reasons unrelated to economic policies). Biden, who doesn't support Medicare for All, and promises not to raise taxes on people making below $400,000 (!!). It is literally impossible to keep both promises (and people know it).
That mostly works, but intelligence committees, etc. need to be in secure locations to view documents.

> Housing should not be a commodity at all.

what do you mean by this exactly? "commodity" usually means a fungible good (ie, one where individual units are interchangeable), which housing is certainly not (if you think it is, I have an old trailer that I would gladly trade you for your house). are you saying literally all housing should be free?
This is true; I contemplated it but decided not to mention it. I haven’t looked into why this V program would be allocating, but I agree with you that the equivalent Rust program would not allocate for this.

I decided instead to focus just on the matter of what happens if you do allocate in such a global—which Rust doesn’t let you do directly, you deliberately have to use a trick like lazy_static which constructs on first use and then deliberately leaks so that it never has to destroy.
More like a kiosk mode where you can only engage in productive activity. You'd get to define "productive" as well as the time of day where you can only engage in productive tasks.

The distinction is that some apps, like Chrome, can be used for both productive and unproductive activities.

I meant to suggest that if you have a few large, expensive propaganda organs, you have some hope of running your own counterpropaganda campaign: disprove it at the source, and maybe you can convince people.

Of course if the money can shut you down entirely, you can't succeed. But it's hard to completely control radio and books. It can be done, but only by making your totalitarianism clear. It's more effective if people think they came to their conclusions on their own, and have been exposed to "all sides".

Today, they can bolster their organized propaganda with a sufficiently effective astroturf campaign (magnified by social media). The two provide confirmation for each other, and appear to be independent. They may even actually be independent; they don't need to formally coordinate if they roughly agree on the ends.

So people believe they're getting "all sides" of the story, and there's no need to shut down disagreement. Instead, people hear the message from two sources that affirm each other, and disregard any disagreement willingly.

Having volunteered to help people fill out their taxes, I think you vastly overestimate people's abilities to understand complex math. Most people just don't understand how deductions or graduated tax brackets work, even after having it explained to them.

Also, it's hidden. If you used TurboTax for example, you put all your numbers in and get a number out. All you've heard is "donations are deductible" but there really is no obvious connection to putting in your donations and seeing how much it saves you.

It doesn't do any of those things, it just senses AQI, PM 2.5 and puts it on the screen.

My experience with the devices that attempt to do the things you want is that they suck.

They do each of those things poorly and their basic detection functionality (most important feature) is also bad. (The reddit thread I linked to has details).

If a device existed that did those things and was actually good I'd recommend it.

As it is, everything in the market is awful.

At least these Temtops have the basic functionality down and do that part really well.

I don’t think it’s an outrage thing, but it’s an interesting anecdote on how some of the fires started. Lightning and campfires seem to be the usual cause, so something totally different is novel.

I find the fact that people should be outraged over this incident ancillary. Hopefully these people owe tens of millions in restitution, as often seems to be the case. But, if the fire had started because of escaped monkeys starting fires, I think it would be equally as reported on because of the novelty, but sans outrage.

The “it’s reported on because it outrages/divides people” speculation is just lazy.
> If the SERPs are filled with garbage

That's already the case. GPT-3 might be faster, but there's literally millions of humans producing absolute garbage for pennies. I'm talking 1000 word, quite readable articles (that make little sense if you pay close attention) for $5 or less.

Used to be a time when it was really easy to rank at the top with just that kind of content.

But Google managed to filter all that out, for the most part. Pretty sure they can deal with computer generated text, too.
This is beside the point, but how can you see when someone is down-voted? I don't see any scores for other people's comments.

Exactly, I think it's a problem only if it leads to lower "engagement" by humans. I kinda doubt it will. Most reading and writing that occurs on the Web, by a large margin, is already very low-value, not noticeably better than a near-future "AI" will very likely be able to produce.

If ad impressions & clicks don't drop, Google, FB, and others won't give a shit where the content's coming from. If impressions & clicks go up (not an unlikely outcome, I'd say) they'll even encourage it.
If GPT could produce something intellectually interesting, wouldn't that pass the Turing test?

The amount of negativity in this thread regarding billionaires and charity is stupefying. There are well established reasons why the distribution of wealth is lumpy - the uneven distribution of initial endowments, skills, parenting, luck, education, etc. The work of Pareto and the Ergodicity Economics gives a sound theoretical basis to this realization. There is no middle ground folks - in any incentive driven system you will have a power tailed distribution.

Can we just celebrate Chuck Feeney and his awesomeness?
I'm not an economist but I think that comparative advantage is a different thing.

Absolute advantage is when you are best/cheapest at producing something.
Comparative advantage is when you have the lowest opportunity cost to produce something. Others may be able to produce it cheaper but they have something more profitable to produce.

Example might be steel mills, USA probably can produce steel, but it is much more profitable to produce end products (machines, tools, cars). So USA could be the best at producing steel and machines, but it ends up producing machines giving China comparative advantage to produce steel (let's imagine they do not know how to produce machines in a cheap way).

It's quite a strange concept.
>That or we stop pretending we live in a free society.

yes, let's do that. we don't - there has never been such thing as a free society, and we don't live in one now. all society has rules - without rules, it's not a society anymore. Let's once and for all take away this absurd escape-hatch where one can avoid defending an idea on it's merits by claiming it restricts their freedom.

If we truly lived in a free society, we wouldn't have estate law at all - wheover kills you should simply claim all your property.
Wow, he hasn't followed this strategy: "set up a legacy fund that annually tosses pennies at a $10 problem."

One of the things almost all foundations do is this: give 100K for $100M problem. There are certain reasons for this: (a) foundations have become mini governments; (b) foundations want to support everyone that comes their way; (c) either foundations can't judge the potential of ventures or they end up supporting their crony or pet projects.
It's not just them though. No one wants to handle the waste. If I recall, the middle of nowhere Nevada was designated to take on the waste from quite a few places and they fought it and won. Additionally, no one wants that waste passing through their town on the way.

Apple easily can own all the computers in the public schools. The software on the computers in the schools. The textbooks in the schools. All these things are made by corporations. I see no reason why apple can't supplant pearson, though it's more likely that microsoft will be the one controlling public education in 40 years, not Apple. As for churches, obviously apple isn't going to go buy a christian church, just like they're not going to literally buy a school. But I can easily imagine Apple replacing church, facilitating it through Apple video-chat apps. That could happen today. In 50 years they could even have their own religion on par with scientology. Think long-term.

Capitalism doesn't stop. If you really think Apple is going to stop, you're naive. No one stops until the government says 'no', and we've slowly been eroding the government's ability to say 'no' over the last 20 years, through case law, deregulation, defunding, abdication of legislative power to the alphabet agencies of the executive branch (which are mostly staffed by private contractors by the way).

I'm not hysterical. I'm paying attention. The IRS ordered production of documents from microsoft 8 months ago, and to the best of my knowledge, microsoft has not complied. If the IRS can't audit microsoft for 30 BILLION DOLLARS, do you really think they can audit Apple, or Amazon, or any similar sized organization?

This is the real deal. Our government is being destroyed to make way for monopoly expansion. This expansion is crushing the small businesses, 'little people' and free market innovation which HN claims to love so dearly. And profit-driven corporations are stepping in to replace our public welfare-driven institutions.

Without getting into specifics, I've had two higher up referrals at FAANG companies, for people asking me to join their specific teams. Both companies are ones who tout the ability to move laterally very easily. Both times, I went through the generic tech hiring process (as in, it had little to do with what I was being asked to do as a member of these teams), and both times, the end result was that I was unable to join the team I was referred to join.

The whole point of 'peacefull' stratification is is that everyone internalizes it 'voluntarily'. If they (the underclass) didn't, and realized their power, saw it was nothing more than custom holding them back, it wouldn't work and other methods would be invented. There is a reason Britons proclaim to be non revolutionaries, that is very much in support of their stratification.

Your observation that the subtle cues seem to be the only thing keeping the classes apart is precisely the goal. This way it costs minimal effort to keep the stratification in tact.
Yes because decentralisation is working wonders here... Leave each self-interested agent to profit off externalities which they don't have to pay. We will have good quarterly reports for our shareholders all the way to extinction.

How many windows do you tend to have open? I find it quite difficult to use a tiling window manager when you have more windows open than you can display on screen. I recently switched to PaperWM and I find the animated transitions between workspaces, and the ability to scroll through windows tiled across a rectangle that exceeds the dimensions of my physical screen, to be a big improvement compared to my previous setup with sway.

I’d really like to get 60 Hz window resizing as well, as in iPadOS’s split screen, but even compositing tiling window managers like PaperWM and sway struggle with this at the moment.

> So I understand the rationale for writing your own storage layer and think this is an awesome project, but there's something missing for me. One of the issues Peter brings up is they've come across a number of serious bugs in RocksDB. My question is, why would Pebble have less bugs. In fact, I would expect it to have significantly more bugs because Cockroach is the only company using Pebble.

We're only worried about functionality in Pebble used by CockroachDB. RocksDB has a huge number of features that sometimes have bugs due to subtle interactions. There is a very stable subset of RocksDB: the configuration and specific API usage patterns used internally by Facebook. That precise combination has seen extreme testing. But that isn't the subset of RocksDB used by CockroachDB. I would guess that the most significant testing of the subset of RocksDB used by CockroachDB is the testing we do at Cockroach Labs. Now that testing is being directed at Pebble along with the Pebble-specific testing detailed in the post.

> For example, it's possible the filesystem had synced some of the buffered data to disk, but not all of it. There's no guarantee about what buffered data was synced to disk. All you know is that some, all, or none of it made it to disk.

The filesystem does provide guarantees when you use fsync() and fdatasync(). Postgres relies on these guarantees. So does RocksDB. Pebble's usage of fsync/fdatasync mirrors RocksDB's. Our crash testing is not testing the filesystem guarantees, only that we're correctly using fsync/fdatasync (which is hard enough to get right).

> Cliff Mass is 100% right on comparing BLM protesters to brownshirts...

Is he, though? Are those rioting actually comparable to brownshirts? Are they literally a paramilitary detachment of the government with a mandate to oppress certain classes of people? Or is this a case where Cliff immediately loses the debate under Godwin's law?

Could he have compared the rioters to activists in the Arab Spring? Or the French Revolution? Or the Black Panthers? They certainly fucked some shit up, didn't they? But no, he chose the Nazi party.
Is sorting really the biggest problem? Are there studies that back this up? (Asking honestly; I'd love to read them if they exist). Some countries not named the United States are pretty good counter-examples, where the public is generally very good about sorting.

I've personally watched people ignore recycling signs on purpose, or get flustered by multiple bins because they've never seen more than one, but ultimately I just don't buy the argument that this takes extra time or effort, I'm convinced that is a mental block or resistance to change and not a real physical problem. It's like saying I can't be bothered to figure out where my dirty dishes go, and I can't understand the difference between the trash bin and dishwasher and cupboards, so I'm going to throw everything away. My neighbors are perfectly fine with putting yard waste in a separate bin, zero people screw that up.

If sorting is the biggest impediment to recycling, then I think that we have hope of fixing recycling and maybe reducing consumption at the same time. Sorting is the easiest problem to fix of all. It'll be easier to get people to understand sorting than it will be to get people to understand that municipal water is cleaner, cheaper and easier than their favorite bottled water brand.

I'm with you about reducing consumption being the best option. I'm not sure about easy, but no question it'll be the highest impact.

It's politics. Political posts get flagged here unless they're particularly relevant to the community (business, technology). This is an endorsement of a candidate, admittedly with a view based in part on attitudes towards science, but still an endorsement of a candidate. It's not on topic for HN. American politics get flagged even faster because the discussion is usually fruitless. Non-American politics sometimes survive and make the front page because it's framed more as a discussion on economics or general human rights (still OT in general, but the discussion is usually less divisive).
