So what - we’re talking about the more general right to repair. The original posting also talks about Apple.

If you want to talk about things that only apply to cars, this isn’t a very useful conversation to be having on Hacker News.

If you want to explain how this law would be applied in a more general way, that might help.

It's weird they'd say "classical economics" - the Baumol article links indeed to classical economics/classical political economy but the linked article doesn't bear out the claim. The actual situation is that the original field known as "classical political economy" made the claim that wages are indeed a matter of the cost of reproducing laborers whereas a "modern economics" or "neoclassical economics" as a field/label is where the claim that real wages are tied to labor productivity changes appeared. The particular wages-productivity theory seems to have been articulated around the 1930s [2].

There is evidence that overeating can lead to cognitive impairments so I’m not sure at a population level we’re ant better off.
The twitter user is making a rational argument about the claims in the tabloid article. The twitter users claims are demonstrably true. There is no trust involved in understanding the twitter users thesis.

There are oodles of trust involved when you trust a tabloid.
Depends on the seller and the brand. Apple does have the "almost same net price everywhere" policy, but other brands do not follow this strategy and actually do regional pricing.
> I find all the pearl-clutching on HN about "free speech" to be rather boring when these have always been heavily moderated platforms run by for-profit businesses that have always given special treatment to whatever advertisers were willing to pay the most. Nobody bats an eye when they're the ones profiting off of it.

"You say you're in favor of free speech, yet when I run into your house screaming obscenities you try to kick me out. Interesting."

HN isn't the only discussion site. Reddit isn't the only discussion site. The big social media companies don't own the Internet, and iHeartMedia doesn't own radio. It's vital we have alternatives, and laws to ensure those alternatives exist can be discussed, but saying that people don't really value free speech when they prefer moderated discussion spaces doesn't track. It's trying to equate unlike things, and create a contradiction where there is none.
Is that the right thing to do? Absolutely. But clearly one solution is much harder than the other.
Last I heard, antibodies have been lasting around 3 months, but T-Cell immunity is indefinite (so far none have stopped reacting to the virus).

I started following Glenn Greenwald since he first became popular with Snowden. 80% of his FB is defending Republicans against Russia related allegations.

I no longer trust him, and by association, The Intercept. Of all the government corruption that happened in the last four years, the only time he really speak up is when it's against Democrats. I am not saying his writing is bad, or that he doesn't make some valid points, but I question his motives.
Agree.. It looks to me like 95%+ of those commenting on this in tech circles haven't actually read the NY Post article.

No part of the 60s New Left occupies the commanding heights outside of a few Ramparts Magazine born-again Catholic neocons. This is a fantasy of right-wingers who try to roll the US black civil rights struggle and working-class socialism into a big ball of University Judeo-Bolshevism.

edit: That gay people, black people, and women have to be considered now is not left-wing politics, which are about class. That people other than white men have a voice is a rational, liberal outgrowth of the civil rights movement. Other than that, mainstream politics moved aggressively to the right until the bottom fell out of the capitalist utopian theory in 2008.
It's not luck, there's a good amount of games that runs perfectly out of the box and it keeps getting better. Yes, it's not perfect, but for me the trade-off is worth it. I much prefer not having to use the native platform and be able to play using the operating system of my choice.
Strategically, the left needs to stop worrying about providing "fuel for the right." They will find fuel, no matter what. This should have been abundantly clear after the entire Benghazi saga. Statistically, an event like an attack on a US embassy in a dangerous part of the world is going to happen at some point - you can't completely avoid it. While there absolutely should be a legitimate postmortem on how to reduce the dangers, the extent to which this event was seized and the four martyred patriots' lives were turned into a tool to win the election should make it clear that anything can be turned into fuel.

The left needs to worry about accomplishing its policy goals and convincing people that left-wing approaches will improve their lives, and then it won't matter how much fuel the right gathers.
There is some level of irony that Republicans, who are notoriously anti-regulation, want more regulation when an unregulated industry negatively impacts them.
I meant to imply a third option: that folks wouldn’t trust the story anyway, at least not enough for it to influence their vote. This isn’t like, say, the Clinton email issue, which was being pushed heavily even by the NYT. This would’ve just been another right wing “scoop” that didn’t do much until it got censored.
This is by no means a feature request but it could be useful if Glow provided a way to configure alternative stashing methods (i.e. "stash via Charm or stash via some shell script you give me"). There would still be a lot of pull towards Charm but users who wanna do it themselves can also use the stash feature.
I fail to see why I would want multiboot. If I do need to run software from two or more different OSes on the same hardware then it's strictly preferable to run them at the same time and/or switch between them without losing any context/state of the software in the other OS.

I can do that decently with virtualization.

Having to reboot is a really, really big drawback that's justified only if it's otherwise impossible or impractical to achieve what you need - but it is possible and practical, so multiboot is not really necessary.
this is kinda cool
That presupposes a correct probability, implicitly assuming the consensus model is correct. That begs the question, a fundamental cognitive mistake.

The current consensus model does not deserve any privilege over any other model that also accounts for the same body of evidence. The degree of privilege afforded to it is exactly the inertia that prevents progress.

Science does not need for there to be a consensus model. Nature doesn't have one. Insistance on a single model when more than one meets requirements is purely human pigheadedness, and a primary impediment to progress.

None of this means that low-energy fusion happens, or doesn't. But the vociferous attacks on reports of what looks like it are the absolute antithesis of science. Science says only, "Try it again, more carefully."

Ordinary evidence.
Silencing the story may also lead a bad election. How could you know? "Best cure for bad speech is more speech".

One can argue about the statement that PostgreSQL is more feature rich.

MySQL has more replication features, different storage engines, etc. also in MySQL GIS functionality is included and not an external plugin (like PostGIS)

The source tree you looked at probably also has ndb cluster included; if you cloned from GitHub, you also get the MySQL Router and other side components.

MySQL also bundles most external dependencies (excluding for example boost)

Any serious discussion would require deeper analysis.

P.S. I work on the MySQL team, never looked at pgsql source, so can't really judge.
The reason they're not doing that, of course, is that that's exactly where the money is not.
It means some people didn't like what he said, so now this eminent researcher is not to be trusted again until he says something they like.
I don't read papers that aren't trustworthy so I can't tell you. I suspect that posts starting to go viral get flagged more urgently than a run of the mill tabloid story.
>The company added that their policy “prohibits the use of our service to distribute content obtained without authorization” because, they said, they “don’t want to incentivize hacking by allowing Twitter to be used as distribution for possibly illegally obtained materials.”

>But that standard, if taken seriously and applied consistently, would result in the banning from the platform of huge amounts of the most important and consequential journalism.

i think this is the easiest way to attack the most recognizable problem, however i dont think its the root problem.

there is simply no such thing as capital T Truth. Period, full stop. the idea that we can moderate or fact check our way into more meaning is just nonsense.

vaccines cause autism (extremely rarely). government conspiracies happen. unexplainable things happen. science and scientists are wrong, a lot.

to say the emobidment of our human knowledge at this point will not appreciably change and that anything else needs to be moderated away is so utterly, mind bogglingly arrogant and ignorant it beggars belief.

the who and cdc have both flip flopped stances on the coronavirus, and doctors who were correct in the minority were censored. the key to eliminating misinformation is discussion and debate, not censorship.
If we look at the issue from the other side, the problem with censorship is the central idea of a civilizing mission on the belief that government and only government can really artfully determine who ought to speak to the masses in the interest of the expansion of knowledge.

The misguided belief in the superiority of government wisdom about who should speak to many has happened before. With radio it was unlicensed radio stations that corrupted youths with rebellious thoughts and strange music. With TV and movies it was commercial publisher corrupting youths with violence and nudity. Now with the Internet it is bubbles that corrupt youths with disinformation and falsehoods.

The enthusiasm for radio censorship is dead. TV censorship died relative recently. Internet censorship however is starting to gain popularity, but I strongly suspect it will crash in a few decades just like radio and TV did. Future people will look back on the misguided belief in the superiority of a handful companies and wonder how it ever could gain popularity.
This is like saying “nothing justifies the prolonging of capitalist torture”. On some level it’s correct, but it’s also being upset at something bordering a fundamental law of the universe.

There will always be a “lowest common denominator” platform that reaches 100% of customers.

By definition the lowest common denominator will be limited, inelegant, and suffer from weird compatibility problems.

It's the same for me too, but stress triggers mine as well or at least doesn't let me ignore it. I'm considering flying to Ireland to try this as soon as we're allowed. I'd be on a flight right now if I could. I just want to experience silence again, at least for an hour or two.
I am deeply distrustful of the media, but if the claims in this Twitter thread are actually true, then this story sounds like a total farce. But if you're going to frame someone, why would you do it in such a batshit insane way? Bizarre.

If these claims are true, surely some journalist would have noticed the same things? Maybe they have and I completely missed the story?

Edit: after reading the post article, there are quite a number of things that aren't so easily explained away by the oddities pointed out in that Twitter thread.

If our self-proclaimed trustworthy legal and journalism institutions were less theatrics-based, the actual truth of these allegations could be uncovered without too much effort. But perhaps there's no budget remaining (in any governmental agency, or any journalism outlet) after the multi-year investigation into the alleged Trump/Russia collusion. Whatever the reason, I suspect that for some unknown reason, this issue will be added to the ever growing pile of "things that we know(!) are fake news, even though we don't actually know because we did not investigate them".

EDIT: Interesting (but not surprising) that this article is [flagged], further demonstrating the wide variety of ways in which the distribution of certain categories of ideas can be controlled, even without a central coordination authority. Ideas do very much seem to behave like living organisms, with human minds as their unwitting hosts.

Mind Control: How Parasites Manipulate Cognitive Functions in Their Insect Hosts

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.0057...

Neuro-parasitology is an emerging branch of science that deals with parasites that can control the nervous system of the host. It offers the possibility of discovering how one species (the parasite) modifies a particular neural network, and thus particular behaviors, of another species (the host). Such parasite–host interactions, developed over millions of years of evolution, provide unique tools by which one can determine how neuromodulation up-or-down regulates specific behaviors. In some of the most fascinating manipulations, the parasite taps into the host brain neuronal circuities to manipulate hosts cognitive functions.

EDIT:

The Twitter thread:

"So just so I follow this story: Hunter Biden, who lives in Los Angeles, decides to fly 3000 miles across country, to drop off 3 MacBook Pros at a repair shop run by a blind guy who charges the insanely low price of $85 (because there aren't repair shops in LA). He drops them off, signs a contract for repair and then disappears."

Sounds fishy. Let's check Google:

"Curiously" not mentioned in the Twitter thread (even though it was extremely specific about pointing out the distance between the shop and Hunter's hometown): Wilmington, Delaware

If you've got a SPA using static files hosted on a CDN it's probably the best way to load balance. Like DNS but you have control over backend selection.

You can set retry interval a lot shorter than DNS. No problems with DNS caching. And you can try secondary on HTTP errors, not just connection timeout. In my experience clouds like to fail in ways that return 500/400 instead of timing out

> The young specialist in English Lit, having quoted me, went on to lecture me severely on the fact that in every century people have thought they understood the universe at last, and in every century they were proved to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about our modern "knowledge" is that it is wrong. The young man then quoted with approval what Socrates had said on learning that the Delphic oracle had proclaimed him the wisest man in Greece. "If I am the wisest man," said Socrates, "it is because I alone know that I know nothing." the implication was that I was very foolish because I was under the impression I knew a great deal.

> My answer to him was, "John, when people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

"Truth is hard, let's go Postmodern!" isn't a valid conclusion. It's an escape hatch, a refusal to make a best effort and, when it's about something that matters, a horribly dangerous practice which essentially cedes the field to the idiots who have no such scruples. "VACCINES BAD! VACCINES AUTISM!" is idiocy, it's dangerous, and it must be countered, not implicitly allowed to pass because what is "Facts" anyway, man?
> "Do you believe the effect of the spread and adoption of bad ideas is a price we should always be willing to pay?"

You mean like freedom of religion and religious tolerance, including for atheism? A few centuries ago, effectively 100% of the population was religious and such beliefs were anathema. Should society have suppressed the spread and adoption of that "bad idea" and remained religion-bound instead of becoming secular?

To endorse suppression of "bad ideas" is conservatism in a nutshell: The ideas we have today are surely right; anything that differs from them is dangerous and needs to be suppressed.
It's actually not explicitly protected by statute, but the interpretation is precedent in all circuit courts.

And Oracle is trying to overturn that precedent at SCOTUS.

Sweden contradicts this.

> So if you take the worst flu season - which we count as a year - we're almost 5x that with covid and its not even a full year yet...

The way we count COVID deaths is fundamentally different from how we count Flu deaths.

It's much better to look at total deaths and compare to previous years. You'll see we've experienced an uptick this year but not one that is nearly as massive as you would predict based off the hysteria

If we talk about a highly skilled programmer requiring a lot of labor to produce, then we talk about something like "amortized labor" having uniform cost (the article mentions that it takes a lot of labor produce an orchestra player, for example). Even if some people are more skilled than other, if it takes a lot of labor to figure out who's really talented, you can price things this way.

Buy a thinkpad. Dell’s build quality and support are atrocious compared to Lenovo.

Lenovo doesn’t hold a candle to Apple still but Dell is still bottom barrel. Have you ever tried calling Dell to get something fixed? Good luck!

Thinkpads are tanks and with Lenovo they either fix a hardware issue by having you send it to them or you can request a customer replaceable part and fix it yourself.

They already did to some extent with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

I haven’t really bought any games recently because of it, and unlike the other premium pay monthly gaming services Xbox Game Pass actually brings on a lot of new games.

With Microsoft buying more and more studios and the fact that they pretty much releasing most of not of all their first party new games on the pass combined with a persistent library of a lot of older games it’s a game changer for me.

Basically with Game Pass Ultimate you can currently play games on your Xbox, PC and mobile device (via streaming) all for $15.

It’s by far the biggest mover Microsoft has and what I see giving them a huge edge this coming generation over Sony.

Microsoft also doesn’t care anymore about Xbox hardware exclusives they see Xbox as their cross platform gaming brand now.
> I don't read papers that aren't trustworthy so I can't tell you.

Ugh. You're a hack, and you know that every celebrity that can't get a takedown for their PII on Youtube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter isn't given the same privilege as Joe Biden and his son.

If Twitter really has this policy, let's have no more tabloids on that medium. Everybody who issues a takedown should get one. And with celebrities it isn't like Twitter doesn't know. Of course they know. It's selective enforcement of usage of their business.

Twitter--much like certain restaurants in Alabama--is saying they will serve certain people, but not others.
There are similar laws for electronics, at least in EU, you need to have a good reason to void my warranty, if I say upgraded the 512Gb SSD with a bigger one and then the keyboard broke you just need to put an effort and invent some plausible reason before you void my warranty.

Though let's be honest, most people that end up in third party repair shops are there because the warranty expired already and for example Apple charged them almost the full price of the device to have it fixed.

This is the case even though English isn't even considered a tonal language. Mandarin is a highly tonal language with four distinct formalized tones. Not only that, but the brain has to adapt to pick out those tones clearly. As a result, "perfect pitch" is much more common for Mandarin speakers than speakers of non-tonal languages.
