Sounds like a bit of an unpopular opinion in this thread but I think pay-for-what-you-use plans with reasonable per GB charge and a slightly higher per GB charge above a certain number seems reasonable, irrespective of your opinion of Comcast.

Something like 30 dollars for a residential connection, followed by 2.5 cents per GB for the first 1024 GB, and then increased to say 4 cents per GB for another 1024 GB.

If you use 1 TB, you pay 30+0.025*1024 ~ 55 dollars.

Why should we subsidize those who download tens or hundreds of TBs?

No one thinks this is unreasonable for electricity, why is it unreasonable for data? Bandwidth issues affect data too.
A flaw in the legal process to easy & rapidly return assets to those found innocent does not make all seizures theft. Neither does the moral hazard of having assets retained by local jurisdictions. An abuse of a law simply does not make all uses of that law abuse.
I'm thinking about it from a BOM cost, though.

Consider the beancounters at the manufacturer:

We are shipping a SmartTV, we expect our users to therefore have internet access, because the device is mostly non-working without it.

Why would we then include: a cellular radio AND make us pay for a cellular data service on an ongoing basis? Is the data from some small fraction of users who don't already have wifi valuable enough to pay off the hardware and service costs in every other TV? Seems unlikely.

There really are two Americas - wealthy america and the rest of america. I'll bet if you split America into two sets of counties, the graph would be much different -- one would be a super-outlier and the other a super-laggard.

It is absolutely not a far stretch.

Let's take one example. If the TSA finds more than $10k on you while you are traveling, unless you have proper paperwork, it is ASSUMED to be drug money and gets seized. Most people have no idea that they need this paperwork, and finding out how to fill it out is non-trivial.

From 2000, to 2016, about $2 billion was seized in this way. In an independent audit, in over half of cases the action started and ended with the seizure. In less than 1/3 was anyone arrested. Arrests drop to less than 1/10 if you eliminate arrests for the crime of failing to fill out the paperwork for the money seized. (I am willing to bet that most of those arrests are because people react badly to seeing their life savings taken from them. Cause a scene, get arrested.)

If you go to how many actually were charged with a crime, the figure drops to 0.3%. In other words in 99.7% of cases where the TSA took someone's money, nobody ever found evidence that they money was linked to a crime. (It was still not returned though.)

Now the police will tell you that they are seizing drug money. However anecdotally, they mostly are not. And the fact that they are not even trying to charge people indicates to me that they really KNOW that they are not.

But guess where the money goes? That's right, directly to the agency that seized it! (This varies for local police by state.)

If your budget is filled with money confiscated from people who you have no evidence were involved with a crime, that's theft and you should know it. But their lawyers say that they can do it, so they continue to take people's life savings on little pretext.

The thing is that writing a printer driver was quite close to being the simplest thing in the world back then. :-)

I remember that when a friend first introduced me to Linux around 2002 (we were both high school kids), I ended up writing a rudimentary printer driver as the printing support in Linux required installing 250MB worth of packages that I simply didn't have enough space for, as I had installed Linux to a 1GB partition that I got after squeezing the Win98 on my father's laptop into 3GB. I used Red Hat Linux—not the most minimal distro but I had no idea what I was doing. So when I wanted to print something and couldn't install the printing packages, I grabbed the paperback printer manual which described all the low-level commands the printer supported, studied it to find the commands I'd need and then wrote a simple program that took an image and sent it to the printer. It couldn't have been longer than a few hundred lines.

The printers back then were simple and came with real reference manuals that documented how to communicate with the printer, so you could really write a simple printing program/driver without being a UNIX legend (I am not).
It's only "legitimate" because there's a law saying they can do it. It's the removal of property without due process. I'm not on team "taxation is theft," but if this isn't theft, private property doesn't exist.

(I'd be totally okay with seizing property from convicted criminal enterprises with due process. Excusing this because it happens to mostly affect people who turn out to have been criminals seems about as defensible in my mind as excusing vigilantes who happen to be mostly accurate.)

There's a smell if containers are forcing you to radically change your ops strategy. Networking between boxes doesn't change, networking between processes on the same boxes is slightly more complicated but you can always fallback to host if really needed.

Adobe AIR was a desktop runtime, analogous to the Flash Player for the browser.

It supported all of the capabilities of Flash in the browser, including Animation, as well as additional desktop specific functionality (such as file system access).

There were two primary authoring tools from Adobe. Adobe Flash (not Animate), which was the traditional designer / animation tool (but also enabled programing), and Adobe Flash Builder, an Eclipse Based IDE targeted at ActionScript development (and a heavy focus on Adobe Flex, a markup based Application development framework built on top of ActionScript / Flash.

Flash was powerful, in part because the Flash Pro authoring tool opened up interactive content development to designers who had little to no programing experience, and then scaled up to allow more advanced functionality via programing.

Note, I work at Adobe, and was responsible for Flash community at Macromedia and then Adobe.

This is absolutely true. Soliciting a bribe, as a public official, however, is a much (much!) worse crime. And that seems to be what happened here.

How are they enabling undesirable behavior? Wouldn't the behavior occur anyways? Most people would be stupid to create a paper trail for themselves if they plan to use a weapon in a crime. Hence the reason close to 50% of guns recovered from a crime were stolen.

GPU perf/watt is mainly depends on manufacturing process so comparing it to 1050Ti is just for indicating its performance, not for comparing to others. M1's CPU is really impressive but I don't think GPU is impressive but well done for mobile use.

Blood is blood.
> Bribing public officials is a crime, period.

In some countries, seeking bribes is a crime, but giving in to a demand for bribe is not. That seems fairer. When you became a public official you agreed to perform your job dutifully. If a public official refuses to perform his job unless a citizen provides him with a bribe, then it seems like the citizen was forced into bribery by the public official. How is it then fair to hold the hapless citizen responsible for the crime?

That would be conspiracy. No, absolutely this does not happen. Now, at the micro level it does happen that individual executives rope their employees in to fraud at their direction. But absoutely no "company" anywhere "advises" its employees to pay bribes as a matter of policy.
I think this is the particularly pathetic thing. Low level LE does this all the time, but in this case, Apple (and the security guy) should have reached out to their (likely) myriad contacts within the FBI/DOJ/CA State. It’s one thing if the little guy caves to government extortion. It’s another thing altogether if the big guy is willing to tolerate it where it could do something about it.

Whoever owns Qt is: Qt. They were spun off from Digia (the company that bought them from Nokia) in 2016.

It felt like Qt was (relatively speaking) all over the place when they were owned by Nokia, but have been in a slow decline of mindshare for years. Of course, that's concurrent with the rise of Electron as the cross-platform app wunderkind.
To be fair, the Wikipedia pages on law that I've read are quite good (IANAL, just interested), probably because they rarely touch on politics.

Or, perhaps it's that those editors who distort other areas of the wiki to fit their political biases aren't interested in law. It could be either or both (or neither, but I'm biased towards myself;)
> first responder guide

This is exactly what I'm complaining about. Every car is different. Volunteers have so many trainings to take, it's unreasonable to ask them to take a whole training for EVERY MODEL CAR on the road. There should be a simple, standard, HV and pyro cutoff control, standard on ALL cars, that can be actuated without a hydraulic shear. Put it in the wheel well or behind a gascap-like door.

Imagine you are a civilian or first responder and want to help people out of a car and you don't have a hydraulic shear or hundreds of hours of model-specific training? This is an everyday usecase.
I hear that's not the case for everyone ;)

West Virginia is 92% non-Hispanic white (2018) and has the lowest life expectancy of any US state (74.8). Which clearly disproves that common hypothesis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...

Life expectancy and overall heath in the US is strongly correlated to wealth. It’s a feedback loop, being poor directly results in worse access to healthcare etc, but also because it’s much harder for sick people to hold down a job etc.

Edit: Bottom 5 states by life expectancy vs their median household income rank (#). West Virginia 74.8 years (#50) Mississippi 74.9 years (#49) Alabama 75.4 years (#44) Kentucky 75.4 years (#43) Arkansas 75.9 years (#48). It’s not perfectly correlated but the relationship is very strong.

PS: Great Britain actually has significantly more ethnic diversity than WV and lower median household income than WV yet life expectancy is more than 5 years longer.

In any case, there is a whole VHS culture out there. Many are just of minor means, seeking cheap entertainment. Others like the experience, sort of like the vinyl of video.

It's normal in CA because that is what elites do, often. They pay bribes to obtain general privileges of the public that are being withheld. Similar to the college admissions scandal. For CCW permits this has been an open secret in some jurisdictions for decades. Pay to play is elitist, classist, and hopefully they will be convicted for doing it.

Suppose f and g are normalized distributions and consider the function f(x)·g(y). If we "collapse" (integrate) in the y-dimension we recover f(x). If we collapse in the x-dimension we recover g(y).

But if we collapse along the lines x+y = v, we obtain the convolution f⋆g(v).

This picture is a little more advanced, but it makes clear two key properties of convolution: symmetry (commutativity) and the fact that the total integral of the convolution is the total integral of f(x)·g(y).

Ask HN: How to get in contact with new users
Hello, I am trying to get better at reaching new users. Hopefully you can spare a moment to share some experience. Thank you for the help.

I know who my users are:

-General or industrial manufacturing businesses

-Create ETO or other customized product

-Older businesses

-Wide variety of product lines

-Need quick technical customer service response

I currently have users who are really pleased with my software. They use the software constantly every day at work and say that they wish their previous jobs had used it. That seems good on the surface but the only people who give good feedback are already using the software.

It is very difficult for me to get a new conversation with a potential user.

-Emails go unanswered, even if they have signed up on the website for demo.

--the emails are being delivered

-Calling them results in either no-one having time to talk, or not being able to get to talk to someone in engineering or production.

Do you have any advice on how to get those initial conversations going?
I have to the same like everyone else. How I bring floating wild hair thoughts little more down to earth and may be "executable?" Here are some of my tactics:

1. I find someone to talk it to out loud. Even if that person isn't knowledgeable in the field.

2. Write it down as if you were doing #1 describing it to someone as if they were 5. You would be surprised how soon you find holes and/or new insights.

3. Read sites that encompasses vast knowledge of many subjects and not vertical to singular. A site I like to visit is:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/ Vast latest articles and finding covering every subject.

4. Talk to people and also think in their shoes if they heard such an idea by putting yourself in their world view.

5. Find a movie that is in that realm of an idea and let your mind wonder.

6. Listen to something benign like trance/house music.

But most of all I like #1 where I talk to someone but moreover, talk to someone who has a breadth of knowledge and not necessarily vertical to any one in particular. Ideally a nerd be good.
