This is an advanced level of naivete combined with arrogance I wish that I had. Unfortunately, I've studied history and I can very clearly see the parallels between now and moments in the fall of the Roman Empire. Nothing is forever, and our civilization will fall if we do nothing out of complacence.
Oh. I fixed it, thanks.
Tesla wanted to avoid having dealerships and sell cars mostly on the Internet. That requires a lenient return policy. Now Tesla will run into "lemon law" problems.[1]

Tesla has exhausted the supply of uncritical fanboys, and is past being the only good electric car manufacturer. Now they have to compete with BMW and Mercedes, who also sell good electric cars. The $50K-$100K "luxury" segment is overcrowded, and those companies are better at fit and finish.

Back in the day, French was the dominant language for international communications. As such, France was the only major League of Nations (might have been a different group) power to vote against Esperanto being pushed for international communications at that time. The USA was supportive at the time. Now the tables are turned and native English speakers have a significant advantage on the world stage, so the US and UK would not benefit as much.

In recent years, Esperanto has pushed itself as more of an international auxiliary language. If it's much easier to learn than English, than everyone can continue speaking their national language and use Esperanto as an intermediary language. It's an interesting idea, but I figure we'll just move towards fewer and fewer major languages until only 5-10 are widely spoken (Ex: english, spanish, mandarin, Hindi...etc).
Buy a new device or buy a second hand one from the approved companies.

Second hand always has a risk and the price reflects that. I know the stress my family had before deciding what second hand car to buy. But I also know the fact that they could replace a car mirror,body parts and even an engine with parts from cars in the junk yards - in the future your Apple/Tesla car will not let you start it if you replaced the windshield with one from a different car, you will need to use official replacement parts and use an official dealership that will remove the DRM locks for a big price. In this future a car with a broken engine will be scrapped instead no part will be reusable because it will be more profitable to make a new car or only fix the cars in the official dealerships.
The right-wing has rebranded to be pure contrarianism - I think that's why so many HNers are apologetic for the American right lately.

I almost feel that reddit is making an effort to make old.reddit.com unusable rather than eliminating it. Some examples:

- clicking a link to another reddit post from old.reddit.com takes you to reddit.com unless the poster made an effort to link old.reddit.com instead. This was one of the most immediate and irritating issues I encountered with the introduction of the new UI. I know there are browser extensions to address this.

- The image gallery UX on old.reddit.com is really terrible. Returning from viewing a single image requires clicking on a not so obvious link that is difficult to use on mobile. Why not just display all images at the same time in a column?

- Clicking a second time on an image from an image gallery opens the image in a new window.

- The "play" button that must be pressed to view some images is equally difficult to use on a mobile device and isn't really obvious to an end user.

I'm sure there are more examples but these are the recent things that seem to have appeared after rolling out the new UI. I'm sure there is no real malice behind it other than not wanting to spend any resources competing against the objective of pushing mobile users to use the mobile app instead. The new UI is extremely aggressive about pushing users to the mobile app. Being lazy about the UX on old.reddit.com is almost as effective, if not more.
> This was a chance for you to explain better

I think it is summed up well by this:

"According to Bauwens and Franco Iacomella, late capitalism is beset by the twin structural irrationalities of artificial abundance and artificial scarcity:

1. The current political economy is based on a false idea of material abundance. We call it pseudo-abundance. It is based on a commitment to permanent growth, the infinite accumulation of capital and debt-driven dynamics through compound interest. This is unsustainable, of course, because infinite growth is logically and physically impossible in any physically constrained, finite system.

2. The current political economy is based on a false idea of “immaterial scarcity.” It believes that an exaggerated set of intellectual property monopolies – for copyrights, trademarks and patents – should restrain the sharing of scientific, social and economic innovations. Hence the system discourages human cooperation, excludes many people from benefiting from innovation and slows the collective learning of humanity. In an age of grave global challenges, the political economy keeps many practical alternatives sequestered behind private firewalls or unfunded if they cannot generate adequate profits."

I don't really know. I never learned sales, but I sold Kotlin to a lot of companies successfully in the last few years. It is something that I think I can do if I put the time in.
Maybe outcome is not the right word then...but I was trying to capture the concept of downstream consequences. In the same way that you could say that an "outcome" (or whatever word is better) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is that employers cannot fire workers for being gay or transgender, even though those intentions weren't even on the radar when the law was written. On the third hand, it seems wrong to call Citizens United an "outcome" when it's more like a clarification of an existing right, as opposed to the granting of a new one.

I also don't disagree with the court's ruling, I was just trying to phrase my response in as neutral a way as possible.

Facebook and Twitter are not. You can still access the NY Post on their website. Twitter and Facebook absolutely have grounds to block content that contains PII or appear to be derived from a hack, especially when both are in effect.

Is this news? This is a block storage failure on Rackspace. EBS volumes on Amazon fail all the time, as anyone who manages a large number of instances probably knows (0.1%-0.2% per year for normal volumes):

> Amazon EBS offers a higher durability volume (io2), that is designed to provide 99.999% durability with an annual failure rate (AFR) of 0.001%, where failure refers to a complete or partial loss of the volume. For example, if you have 100,000 EBS io2 volumes running for 1 year, you should expect only one io2 volume to experience a failure. This makes io2 ideal for business-critical applications such as SAP HANA, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2 that will benefit from higher uptime. io2 volumes are 2000 times more reliable than typical commodity disk drives, which fail with an AFR of around 2%. All other Amazon EBS volumes are designed to provided 99.8%-99.9% durability with an AFR of between 0.1% - 0.2%,

Did they not also sell their 10th track as an ad on some album? (not the first with that idea though)
If Tesla (or some other car company) says try our car for seven days and if you don't like it, bring it back, why would I pay $300 for a rental if I thought I was going to like it? Especially with a Tesla where there's a lot of fiddly details and mid year changes, a rental may be a lot different than one you can buy.

Some rental sales agencies do it the other way --- rent this car for a week, and if you like it, the rental cost goes towards the purchase price.

> It warns that those in power now use the shield of "free speech" to push propaganda and lies in order to undermine truth and democracy and thereby attempt to preserve power.

Except with new media no one can really push information, it is mostly up to the recommendation algorithms to propagate the messages, which is optimized for creating more engagement and ad dollars. This, singlehandedly damages more of democratic processes, which depend on healthy discourse, than any questionable content put into it.

> now use the shield of "free speech" to push propaganda and lies in order to undermine truth

Is there a form of free speech, contents of which you disagree that doesn’t push propaganda or undermine some definition of your truth? In other words, in this version of narrative warfare, every opponent narrative is already “propaganda”, every disagreement is “destroying democracy”.

Except truth is hardly an out there objectivity to which propgandic words magically render our eyes blind. It is a process of dialectic; disagreements that can be integrated together and form a more comprehensive picture of our musings in an infinite problem space.

It is the false sense of certainty, including utopian ideas of its attainability with likes of “fact checks” and judicious restriction of speech that destroy this process, and with it any hope of integrating opposing worldviews without wanting to hurt those who hold them.

Not to mention the recent thread about booting out holocaust denier's bullshit - also over 1000 comments.
I ported the program to Python when the Perl version was already fleshed out a bit. Keeping them in sync hasn't been that hard. After each update I run both versions on the same input file (resulting in my blog https://plurrrr.com/) and check with meld if there are any differences. This works very well. I am only a little worried that the Python code might contain some Perl-isms.
Employees don't determine the policies or agenda of a company, nor do they donate to political parties on behalf of or at the behest of their employer (at least not legally.) And that same article claims that donations by those tech companies' own political action committees favored Republicans.

At best it shows that individuals donate based on personal political ideology, and that tech hub demographics favor the left over the right, whereas the companies themselves donate in order to further their business interests, rather than a politically activist agenda.
That does not affect the IFR, it just make it harder to measure.

Do I need to say it again? My Excel skills were necessary because of garbage in databases.

I could sit at my desk; extract a data-dump of 50k rows of data; locate the fuzzy matches, identify which records needed to be kept and which ones deleted; merge it with the client's spreadsheet that they emailed to me and compare them; identify problems and report back to the angry client.

Why was the client angry? Because of inflexible garbage reports coming out of the database that people were blindly trusting.

Why was there garbage in the database? Not because of Excel.
> There are multiple ways how a language can deal with such loanwords: they can keep the original spelling, making those words an irregular exception to the pronunciation rules...

Isn't that the point? IIRC, English was originally about 50/50 Saxon and French - most of the fancy / unintuitive / rule-breaking words are French loan words (e.g., "rendezvous" & "accomplice" are French, "loan" is old Norse, "word" is old English). The combination happened when Britain spent a while under Norman rule. The commoners were largely Saxon & Norse, the rulers were French. Eventually the languages simply merged, with grammar rules and vocabulary taken from both sides.

I believe the first edition of the Webster dictionary in the 1800s was when the spelling was standardized. At that point, Webster looked at the original language of the words to both define them and figure out a correct spelling.

Edit: additional recollections, formatting.

Edit2: I'm being downvoted?
Yeah that's how RISC vs CISC is taught in class, I've heard that same thing. I think it's an outdated paradigm though, if it's not been wrong all along. A CISC chip can still officially support instructions, but deprecate them and implement them very slowly in microcode, as is done with some x86 instructions. And a RISC chip manufacturer might just have used this phrase as a marketing line because designing RISC chips is easier than starting with a monster that has tons of instructions, and they needed some catchy phrase to market their alternative. They then get into the gradual process of making their customers happier one by one by adding special, mostly cold, silicon targeted for special workflows, like in this instance.

Ultimately, the instruction set isn't that relevant anyways, what's more relevant is how the microcode can handle speculative execution for common workflows. There's a great podcast/interview from the x86 specification author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb2tebYAaOA

AFAIK, apart from toy dev boards like this, you can't buy a TPU, you can only rent access to them in the cloud. I wouldn't want my company to rely on that. What if Google decides to lock you out? If you've adapted your workload to rely on TPUs, you'd be fucked.
And cars get in accidents and parts could be re-used and sold. I assume stolen parts are profitable only in the market where this parts are hard to find, like for expensive limited edition cars. Make the parts available from multiple vendors , have them cheaper and less people would risk their liberty for cheap parts.

Maybe we should also solve the crime problem more directly by catching the criminals or giving them jobs and not by screwing the society with making things un-repairable (and what I coincidence this is also very profitable for the big companies and affects only the small business and citizens, but yeah coincidences happen I am sure Tesla and Apple were thinking about theft and not about money)

> Facebook and Twitter are not.

Facebook and Twitter are also claiming they're not subject to the same rules as traditional broadcast outlets or newspapers. Broadcast media outlets are not monopolies either, and they can't wantonly censor election speech like this by law.

If CBS was to decide that all their outlets were going to cover only one candidate's speeches, they would be electioneering, and be afoul of the law. CBS is not even as close to a monopoly as Facebook or Twitter is.

We have a case here were two providers took it upon themselves to block references to a newspaper article, relating very directly to speech which would need equal access under any other medium.

Dooms first networking implementation was very inconsiderate and had a habit of killing whole networks. https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_in_workplaces

>The first version of the Doom IPX network code transmitted its data as broadcast data. As a result of this, all machines on a network where a game of Doom was being played would receive the data, even if the machine was not involved in the game. The degrading effect on network performance forced the system administrators for many office networks to ban Doom.

I don't know what to make of the idea of the powerless censoring the powerful to protect truth and democracy. If you can censor your opponents, you are per definition powerful. If you are worried about your opponents use of the "shield of free speech" to protect themselves from you, you are worried about limits on your power.

What I find interesting about that is that it's presented as an originalist argument, by a presumably progressive writer, against the conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Usually it's the other way around, and conservatives are amenable to originalist arguments.

Did they really fix the power management problems? I would be very careful running Linux on Intel laptops these days. Very happy with Ryzen.
In addition to what the sibling comments said, note that "Python GIL release" is a very high level concept and how the GIL is implemented can change over time. It interacts with how the OS implements locking. FJCVTZS on the other hand is a (mostly) pure function with well defined inputs and outputs, and will likely be useful for Javascript implementations for a long time. Will JS be around in 10 years? Very likely. So ARM adds an instruction for it.

The people at ARM have likely put a lot of thought behind this, trying to find the places where they, as instruction set vendor, can help making JS workflows easier.

And btw, I'm pretty sure that if python has some equally low hanging fruit to make execution faster, and python enjoys equally large use, ARM will likely add an instruction for it as well.
