You’re going to get cherry picked apart for this, but as someone who has ran supply chains, been apart of product dev that involved early hardware design & dev and the necessary chain dev to build that design, you hit the nail on the head.

Everyone wants a bad guy here, and apples logo with the billions behind it enable people to easily assign blame to that logo (not that they shouldn’t). But what’s forgotten is the massively complex “stack”, if you will, that brings everything together. Just saying “oh this billion dollar company is terrible!” Is being lazy and doesn’t contribute to a solution, all it does it make people feel entitled and validated because it doesn’t take much real thought.

The real problem at root is human/consumer behavior. Turning a logo into a fitting evil character borrowed from childhood cartoon narratives is not real.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up.

>Things like household composition and non-cash income affect lived reality too.

And these things vary, sometimes greatly, based on where you live.

Barnstable County (where the Kennedys live and the Kochs have (had?) summer houses) for a long time (might still be) middle of the road, poor-ish (~35k median income 2010 census, current national average is 56k) on paper because the really rich claim primary residence elsewhere and the wealthy people who do claim residence are retired (retired engineering managers and whanot, these people aren't Murdoch rich) are mostly savvy enough to look poor on paper so they can get discounted services from the state and pass more of it on to their kids. Who does that leave? Well there's no white collar industry to speak of so it leaves the trademen who fix the plumbing in the Kennedy compound, the service industry and a few business owners. So the county winds up looking dirt poor on paper despite the fact that there's a ton of money sloshing around (and it shows when you look at how the tradesmen and small business owners live).

This is an extreme example but you can see how more minor differences when applied across an entire county or state could pollute a comparison when you're trying to compare very precise things, like how well off a median plumber in Reno is vs the median plumber in Chicago.
To be fair, many lock-down/fear-of-going-to-the-doctor related things have a much longer fuse. A cancer missed now might kill you in a year or two.

I'm telling you that you have before you a rare and wonderful opportunity to partake of highly informational resources provided to you. It is not often in life that questions are so readily answered by neatly presented, authoritative, and trustworthy reports.

Do let me know if you have any trouble with the Census Bureau SPM report, I'm happy to do my best to help you read it.

To put it another way, I think the question that you're getting stuck on is too simple to be very helpful and that better information might help you formulate better questions. I hope this makes sense to you, but I know my communications skills are quite far from perfect.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Still have to read the ruling, but it's nice that this seems to have gone well for Corellium–it's such a useful product that it would be undeniably worse for the world if it was forced to shut down.
Not sure why you find that piece of "evidence" particularly damning. Do you know anything about the author? Do you know his methodology? His sources? What makes him credible?

From the database author himself [0]:

I honestly find it both hilarious and disappointing that HN users are skeptical and contrarian about absolutely everything, except when it comes to what the US government and its proxies have to say about China.

I've been an advocate of mostly paleo, most of the time for a long while, and keto for those with diabetes. Of course, a lot of it will come down to making more, and buying less.

>> if they've already broken into the house, they will be able to break into any room you are hiding in

I disagree. If possible, call the police immediately. Barricade yourself in a room and if it comes to it defend yourself. I don't fancy my chances against someone armed and motivated so it's a last resort.

This is based on the advice from the Police Service in my country.
If I didn't know who Boston Dynamics was, I would have said that this is just CGI. The animations look so fake. I think the issue is that they're aggressively smoothing the motion since mechanical systems don't have the ability to accelerate & jerk as fast as biological systems. Cheap mocap animation has the same problem because the frame rate of the capture system is too low. They interpolate between captured keyframes which results in the wrong velocities in the end.
I agree with this.

That said, a lot of the use-case of R is one-off scripts, run locally on a machine by an analyst, as part of preparing a written report for non-technical stakeholders. So the code readability isn't as important.

This is both a strength and weakness of R in general. The R community has many different ways to accomplish the same goals. Production systems decline to use R in large part because of the code maintenance burden across a team, versus Python's "one right way" approach.
If we arrive at the point where a large majority of production is automated, I'm not sure that will be that much of a problem.

Most old people aren't anywhere near that bad. For those who are, it will have to be operating almost on rotation and with large financial incentive.

No mentioning of global warming, the most pressing of all issues? It might not effect your level of comfort or net worth in the next two or three years, but it does have the potential to wipe out humanity, if not life itself, in the next few hundred years. Unless you're actually going hungry right now or are sick or homeless, I don't know why you'd be worrying about anything else.
The term "re-entry pollution" is not standard; I made it up. I did not say the author conflated these terms, I said he conflated the things themselves (i.e., the concepts). Krisoft's reply to your comment explains well what's wrong with the article.

That Wikipedia and the FAA do not have special terms for these distinct concepts does not mean they conflate them. Indeed, basically nobody cares about re-entry pollution because it's just an utterly trivial type of pollution (and it's the only thing this proposed tech addresses).
Could you be more specific? At OrgPad.com (a tool for basically doing first _useful_ mindmaps which you can actually work/ learn with) we have a few tens of thousands of lines of code in ClojureScript (front end) and Clojure (back end) and pretty much all performance problems I can think of were naive algorithms or bad usage of components (which, usually, a better wrapper solves quite well). You can watch a bit about how we use Clojure in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UoIfeb31UU

Otherwise, we use IntelliJ Idea + Cursive but I keep an eye on emacs and vim Clojure/ ClojureScript capabilities.
Except for the due process trial, conviction, and sentencing.
Sure, agreed! It just seemed like a useful starting point.
Given the obvious election fraud caught on camera, forensic evidence, voter roll issues, intimidation of poll watchers, lack of transparency, & the lack actionable oversight that we saw in the 2020 election, is there any hope to reform the corrupt political system or even to ascertain "the consent of the governed"?

If you add a backstop against political outsiers gaining office, only insiders who are under control of entrenched politicrats (who have no interest in reform), corrupt actors & revolving door beurcracats/lobbyists can win a significant political position.

Thats a lot of words to say the whole system is rotten and any narrow window of reform is quickly shut...

> The last year has been supply chain disruption after supply chain disruption.

Indeed, but even if 20% of people don't get their second shot on time and the impact of that is equal to them not being vaccinated at all (we don't know but likely the impact is smaller), even then the impact would be lower than stockpiling vaccines which increases the number of symptomatic infections by 34 to 42 percent.

> If the vial manufacturer has a covid outbreak at their facility and has to stop manufacturing for two weeks, your scheduled shipments aren't going to be on time.

That's precisely where the government can step in and ensure that antibiotics therapies are available to workers in those facilities as well as daily tests. Then it doesn't have to shut down.

> As supply goes up, and we get past the priority recpients to the general public, it probably makes sense to reduce the stockpile requirement

At that point it's less relevant which strategy you choose.
Pretty sure police and most government services don't even give you an SLA (loved that you used that term though, gave me a nice chuckle). It's more of a "we'll get to it when we can". Not to mention, the courts have held that the police have no obligation to protect you (ie you can't sue them for not getting there in time or not rushing into a building to save you, etc).
Interesting. That doesn't seem to be specified in the RFC1122 standard or the Linux ip(7) docs, but it's an explicit special case in the kernel (ip_route_output_key_hash_rcu):

fl4->daddr = fl4->saddr;

The trademark belongs to the Linux Foundation as far as I can tell (from the blog). The trademark being registered is standard open source protection move to stop other projects creating confusion with your open source project.

Facebook's involement here is that they funded the original development and then donated the project to the Linux Foundation.

The scummy part forking a project and creating a name that is clearly designed to make the fork to look like the original project. If Facebook did what they did when they named their porject the community would be up in arms about it.
Yeah good point. I guess you could also get distracted. Eating dinner but I will think it over more.
I agree, it's curious how in recent times a foundational aspect of modern democrats is a belief that not being aware or able to see something really solves an issue or corrects a perceived ethical wrong.

For instance, don't like what your opponents have to say? Just make it so their supporters have to go to their own platform. The insidious angle of this is how this kind of thinking starts to bleed into payments processing / CC companies.
What exactly did Apple do? The hired a contractor, and they just found out that contractor is using slave labor, so now they are investigating. The last time they found out a contractor was using slave labor, they severed the relationship.

Ha! GMail offered the most free space, by an order of magnitude over its competitors, and that's the primary reason it succeeded in drawing users initially.

Email search wasn't the draw initially, and wasn't even all that much better; there was serious controversy over search, years later, as it was tied to ads that reflected the content of private communications.

Hotmail, Yahoo et al had reasonably good search for the time, but stiflingly little free space. Google offered far more free space with IMAP and POP3 access.

I think that's right. And one of the things that made Medium attractive to me to cross-post from my own blog to every now and then was that people who mostly didn't know any better saw the overall quality and assumed that there was some filtering going on. Which in turn made it seems more authoritative than a "blog." I stopped bothering once the quality went down and the paywalls went up.

I don't understand the point of this post.

If you go to a national park and live in a tent, that's even cheaper. The point of being in proximity to a big city is the opportunity it affords - better jobs and better mate prospects.

Absolute price of a property only matters in a vacuum, e.g. if you're already independently wealthy and can live off of remote investments and not need a day job. In fact, in most cases, without markets distorted by things like Prop 13, the price of real estate is a pretty good proxy for the opportunities afforded by living there: Jobs/Mates/Schools.
If you're taller and standing in a group, it's more difficult to get visual cues (e.g. seeing people's lips move), and you are further away, and people generally don't make an effort to speak in your direction.
We spent like 12 years trying to create a medium sized business in electronics and we were at that time in an era when mobile phones were still getting popular. It was a nascent stage of refurb smartphone industry but even then it was a steep climb for us!

Sometimes taking chances is worth it. As far as I have heard, every single vaccine trial has concluded “yeah, our vaccine is effective.” So if people had been allowed to take experimental vaccines, the pandemic would have been a lot better.

In this circumstance as well, taking a chance is worth it. Even if the virus mutates, changing the mRNA vaccines shouldn’t take more than a week.

Some of my favorite restaurants have a "tipping not allowed" policy, and servers draw a hard line. I like this policy a lot, and don't mind paying extra.

Unfortunately, the way many restaurants choose to manifest this is via a "mandatory 18% service charge" that is not reflected in the prices themselves. I hate this. I wish restaurants would just publish a menu that has the "all-in" price, with the "service charge" and taxes included. Maybe the market will reject this, but I suspect that this fear is not fully founded.
Thanks. I think we’re still a few months away from actually being able to sell something. The other challenge we have is our value depends on the customers’ data.

A good friend of mine has conducted such a study some time ago (unfortunately I don't have a link at hand) and the team's conclusion was that the games themselves had no impact on violence, it was the multiplayer aspect that made the biggest difference. As in the frustration caused by the human factor in the game lead to far more negative sentiments and violence than the game itself with the same mechanics (playing against the game) ever could. This was exacerbated in games that allowed "humiliating" behavior from the opposing players (think fatalities and the like).

I tend to agree and I can confirm with anecdotal evidence from all around real life. Take traffic for example where road rage is always directed at other people no matter how small their trespass, while far more damaging incidents where no other person was involved are met with some swear words (getting 2 flat tires at once, seeing a tree fall on your car, etc.).

It's other people and their perceived trespasses that cause the buildup of frustration and violence.

Wikileaks is an English speaking website. All three of these countries aren't democracies, so whistle-blowers have no incentive to speak up. Finally, if you are from those countries and send info to Wikileaks, you would be sending information to a foreign organization which risks much harsher punishment.

For all of these reasons, it is much much less likely for any leaker out of China, Russia or Iran to leak to Wikileaks instead of someone else.
