I'm new to HN, and find myself coming here more and more often to luxuriate in open-ended discussions between people with divergent, qualified opinions. I'm realizing the lighter-gray text is donwnvted posts. Is it a large number to cause it? I see nothing inflammatory here, it's a well-reasoned response, where both posters essentially agree - we are at an impasse do to the fundamental incompatability of the modern versions of teams Red and Blue.
Am I to infer that the it's being downvoted simply because it suggests that both sides are responsible for the state of affairs? I am used to encountering this in the world from both sides, but it's sort of extra disappointing to see such behavior here.
Forgive me if I'm missing something.

It would be worth big pharma looking further into. I fear however they'll identify that blood serum levels of an ingested drug are variable enough as it is due to the uniqueness of humans, that actively modulating humans ability to process exogenous chemicals is a recipe for disaster. Maybe they'll even get it close to right for Drug A, but what about Drug B that any given patient is concomitantly taking?
+1. I also think that their problem was more celery-related that rabbitmq related, but that's just a guess.

We also evaluated kafka vs. rabbitmq, and chose rabbitmq.

For people hitting performance degradation with rabbitmq this is a good reference [0]

RabbitMQ should be used as-is without a middleman as much as possible, to make the best possible use of all of its concepts.

I feel for you, but your expectations are out of whack with reality. Any Windows laptop, properly maintained, is a reasonably secure device.

You can "restore" "reasonable" security to your Mac even in the almost unthinkable light of a possible actually available exploit, that can be reasonably be expected to affect you personally, by using a strong filevault password. Maybe you want to add a tripwire (file integrity) check at boot time, or a manual check when you mount any drive.

No, the precedent you ask for does not exist. In fact, the opposite is true.

As a single person I preferred the laundromat. I could use 3-6 machines at a time and everything was done fast. I owned enough cloths for a full load of each, and so I only had to do this once a month.

As a married person with family we are doing laundry all the time anyway and so having it in the house is an advantage.

grab a piece of paper with text on it. place it in your hands as if you were about to read it.

Now flip it so a mirror in front of you can see it. The text is right to left, isn't it?

Now notice that, in order to "show it to the mirror", you applied an horizontal rotation to the paper. Try placing the piece of paper as it was at the beginning, so it's readable to you again, and then "show it" again to the mirror, but this time flipping it with a vertical flip.

There you go, the text is left to right but upside down. Vertical flip!

You're probably thinking "yeah but the original is upside down too" to which I would reply, yes, and in the first case the original was also right to left from your position - you just coudn't see it because the paper is opaque. writing in a piece of glass , you can see it left to right in the mirror when it's left to right in real life.

I'd say it depends on what that "security" is. If it is remotely exploitable and can harm user freedom, tell the companies quietly. On the other hand, if it can enable user freedom, keep it to yourself and those who you trust to be on your side.
The paradox exists because when you ask a person "why it flips horizontally but not vertically" most people can not respond. Usually they can not even begin discussing the premise of the question. Notice how even in your comment you did not really attack the premise, just gave a parallel explanation that skips talking about the premise. This does not really help, because as with most paradoxes, the issue is exactly with the premise. The linked video by Physics Girl does a great job at explaining the paradox away.
A normal mirror already does flip things vertically just as much as it does horizontally, which is to say not at all.

This about your expectations of what a person (or thing) facing you looks like. Normally when someone turns to face you they'll spin around while staying in a head-upward orientation. That puts your right hand and their right hand on opposite sides because they've spun around, while your reflection's right hand stays on the same side as your own because the mirror doesn't flip anything.

If you instead expect the other person to turn to face you by doing a hand stand, then you can say "Why is my reflection's head on top?! It should be on the bottom! The mirror has flipped it vertically!"
I think this is a simplification that in some ways is ignoring the main point of this article -- the Paneka kick described in the article is a kick up the middle; relying on exactly that sort of decision process by the goalkeeper.

And the new-style kick being touted is also a meta game -- trying to telegraph a still-likely-to-succeed-on-power-alone kick and changing it up for a less powerful less reliable kick to the opposite side.

If the telegraphed kick were less of a threat (that is, if the anticipated speed of the kick were slower) then the goaltender would not have to commit as much. The subtleties here are interesting, though the article is missing a discussion of failed attempts at the Paneka and the Tielemans-style kick.
However, does it use more or less power than a regular dishwasher in aggregate? My understanding is that a regular dishwasher takes a while to run. I've never owned one, so I don't really know.
Two mirrors at 90 degrees to each other should do it. Do you mean for it to flip both horizontally and vertically though? That would be more difficult. I'm not sure but maybe a type of prism.

Mexican Spanish (might be a broader phenomenon) is another fun one. Limes are limónes and lemons are limas. So sopa de lima is chicken soup with lemons, not limes. However, this is how they map those terms to the varieties present in America. The actual lima is a citron x lemon variety that is not widely cultivated, and is maybe best substituted by Key limes. Which explains why the Mexican stores around me seem to always carry Key limes in addition to the Persian limes!
If "security" is just Apple marketing, can we safely say "privacy" is just marketing too?

Interesting question. The GPL was first published in 1989. Let's assume it was first used for something Stallman wrote, by himself, with no other authors. Stallman is 67 now. US male average life expectancy gives him about another 10 years (sorry to be morbid). Current US copyright law means his work is under copyright for 70 years after he passes away. So that's about 80 years from now, or in 2100 the first-ever GPL program can be distributed in binary form without its source, as it was written in 1989. What a gift to the public domain.

US copyright law is utterly broken.
this is a very nice idea and i like that i can read a book and improve my typing and my spelling at the same time :>

not sure if thats a good way to report a bug but:

one problem/bug i have. as a non native speaker i have my keyboard Layout as U.S International - PC. there is some build of characters involved in that layout for instance to type ä i press the "-key and then the a-key and it gets combined to ä but this means that if i just press the "-key i don't get " i need to press "-key + space but that doesn't seem to work here :<

I'm not the commenter, but I'd argue that people who want a service but don't want to pay the cost are irrational and perhaps we should not worry about pleasing them?

Suppose I want a new BMW and I want to pay no more than $300 for it. This doesn't mean that we should force BMW workers to work for free -- it means that my expectations are not rational.

Similiar, if I want a 10km Uber ride for $1, which costs less than even gas, the desire is irrational. Why should workers have to work for free to satisfy this consumer's irrational desire?

Same thing for grocery baggers "disappearing" -- of course they disappeared, there was a pandemic. They werent being paid for the risks of bagging groceries.

I'm using it as my main editor for a Django codebase. It's not my favorite IDE, it's a bit slow too but it's the best I could find for what I do. Also I haven't found any good native IDE that can handle Python, Django, HTML, CSS and JS as well as VSCode. There are IDEs that can do Python (and Django) and others for HTML, CSS and JS but I don't want to be constantly switching between the two. If you know a good IDE that can replace VSCode for my use case please let me know.

Wouldn't the compatibility layer be infringing copyright?
I think it's already good enough to generate marketing copy (at a glance, not my area of expertise).

Currently, AI is still very energy intensive though so it won't set the world on fire just yet - i.e. for many tasks the human brain still reigns king and it runs on something like 20W.
It might also be worth mentioning that this case is first and foremost a big money power play (arguably even with abuse of the legal system), between two immensely powerful businesses (each of which probably deserve to be called a criminal enterprises, but hey .. this is America), and very little about the merit of their respective arguments.

In other words: both primary care about winning the case. No matter how they get it done, or whatever the fallout/consequences will be for anyone but themselves. Arguably that is fine for any company, since their sole responsibility is to look after itself. But the legal ramifications of their (legal) actions can extend far beyond that, for which I certainly consider them and the US legal system responsible, collectively.

I sincerely wonder sometimes, that besides the potential damage many do recognize as a fallout of this court case, how many people realize that mud fight between two way-too-powerful sandbox bullies may end up being responsible for making the USA a pariah within the landscape of future software development?

Or does everyone believe that if this goes sideways, that the rest of the world will just respect this "funny logic" and all go with it?

In fact, how many Americans even realize that the increasing radicalization and absurdity of their intellectual property rules will inevitably harm the USA big time in the long run? Or does everyone still think that the USA will remain the center of everything and the only one dictating the rules?

Things like these do not happen in a vacuum. The rest of the world is watching.
> Maybe not devastating to your particular class of society. Motor accidents are not as strongly linked to economic despair either, and certainly not an effect of ideological choice.

Yes, in fact the upper, upper-middle, and largely the (prudish) middle class of society isn't as impacted by drug overdose deaths as they are about the threat of genocide and war. The latter impacts everyone more or less equally. The former impacts a very narrow segment of society. It should then not come as a surprise that society assesses the risk (and devastation) of the two in different ways.

You need to remember that the median American is NOT an opioid addict. In fact the median American is fairly rich -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per_c.... While it is truly sad that there exists poor people that are addicted to opioids (and dying as a result), we have to remember that it's a small minority of society as a whole, and the risk of becoming a drug addict isn't uniform.

> It's hard to deny that the cause of this is not fundamentally caused by an over emphasis on free market ideology.

"Free market ideology" is entirely orthogonal to the issue, because the issue you pointed out is isolated in the US, but "free market ideology" is the predominant ideology of the liberal world where the issue you pointed out is notably absent.

In every single comparably wealthy country, the public sector makes up a (stark) minority of the workforce -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_se...

The OECD average is 21%. There are countries that have lower public sector size than the US (Netherlands, Germany, South Korea, New Zealand, Japan, Austria) that have comparable (if not higher) human well-being. You cannot compare life in those countries to life in Syria/Iraq/Afghanistan, Kosovo, Central Africa, etc etc.

In the countries devoid of the kind of opioid deaths you speak of, economic freedom is among the highest, many even higher than the US -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_economic_...

Since you can't reproduce that causation in other countries, you cannot conclude that there exists such a causation. It's very much a "US" problem. Put simply, the safety net in the US has some holes in it.

Speaking strictly to that, I cannot agree more. This is exactly how I look at purchases, especially larger ones. I'm sure many others think the same way.
I agree with you that it will be one of the last jobs to go, but it will go. Fast-forward 15 years, and hypothesize about "GPT-15" or whatever, running on a quantum computer, just as a fun thought experiment, then put your kid up against that in the jobs market.

I think people will always learn math, programming, and natural languages for fun and intellectual growth, but I don't see those being paying jobs in 2 decades, when AI will be vastly superior to us.

For example, think about how many millions bugs are because of the most basic of human errors, time and time again, and the huge costs associated with that.
> Didn't this become false advertising?

I don't think this counts as false advertising. "False advertising" is the colloquial phrase but the actual law uses terms like "misleading" or "deceptive":

> The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true[1].

So maybe if Apple made some very strong statements to the tune of "This T2 chip will absolutely never ever be hacked, its impossible", that might be misleading. I suspect the Apple legal team is a little more clever than that, though.

General marketing fluff like "This car is good, you should buy this car" doesn't count as false advertising if your car breaks down. I think this falls into that category.

I don't know why you're being downvoted for wanting a more sane immigration system for France.

Whenever limits to US H1Bs a are mentioned that gets full support on HN because it waters down local salaries but when similar systems are proposed for Europe it gets downvoted.

Seems pretty double standard.
Good point. You know what would be great for corporations? If we could just bring back slavery. Then we wouldn't have to worry about churn at all! Except when we work them to death. But life is all about tradeoffs.

Really, the only two viable options are either H1-B's or slavery. You can't honestly expect corporations to promote people in accordance with their skill, or increase people's wages in accordance with their skill, right? Next you're going to tell me they should compete with other employers for their employees! Hahaha just imagine that.

GNU Smalltalk does run in an image. The main differences are: 1) it's possible and easy to rebuild the image from scratch 2) it's relatively common to reuse the same image and load files into it through the command line, without saving it the image back at the end of every execution. However the image is still there. :)

> The problem is not that we don't know how to create a fair tax policy.

I would say this is a big chunk of the problem. people don't actually agree on what "fair" means. depending on who you ask, "fair" might mean anything between "I get to keep most of what I earn" and "everyone gets equal access to resources".

regardless of what "fair" means to you, you still need to understand tax incidence (who actually bears the burden of a particular tax) to devise policies that achieve your goal. tax incidence can be a very controversial topic.
I can't agree more with that.

I run a small side business, and these unlimited cloud plans are just a no go. A medium to large company could totally absorb a 5 figures bill, but that would be a dead sentence to my side project. Also, considering the variable costs of bandwidth of AWS, Azure or Cloudflare, one competitor could simple rent an OVH server and incur insane costs to my business while only spending 1/10 of the money.

Right now, I'm using Heroku (with a limited number of dynos and a single PgSQL database) together with BunnyCDN (which allow me to pay for prepaid usage). If I ever get DDoS'ed, my app will most probably be inaccessible or at least significantly slower, while I'll receive an email alert, from which I can decide myself to allocate more resources.
> We'll have to waste brain cycles coming up and alternative spellings of methods to stay away from copyright infringement.

You do realize that if literally all you do is change the names and spellings then you'll still be in violation of copyright, right? Translating a book into another language (where the names and spellings of every word are different) is still copyright infringement. The fact that the names and spellings are the same just provides evidence to the judge that copying occurred.

If you just rename all the methods and their argument variables you still open yourselves up to a lawsuit because all the plaintiff is going to do is show the judge a mapping between their and your names and it will be plain as day as to what happened.
