> There's no such legislation, which I think is a great thing, so that is the reason employees cannot expect to be activists at work.

Activism and ownership are two separate things. Activism is about changing existing laws, rules and customs. There isn't any law specifically allowing executives to engage in activism (meant to change or prevent the change of existing legislation), and yet they do, and on a much larger scale than employees. Google spends millions of dollars each year on lobbying.

> so if it actually resulted in better outcomes you'd expect more co-ops

This is not true, because a better outcome for a more co-determined company is not necessarily a higher stock price. Forming companies requires raising capital, and so investors have a lot of power in deciding the structure of companies we see, and what they care about is the stock price. For example, if traditional private companies and co-ops fail or succeed at the same rate but private companies are funded 100:1 compared to co-ops, you'd see 100x more private companies than co-ops.

There is generally no reason to believe that pure market forces direct us to a "good outcome" at the needed pace. You could have said that if the abolition of slavery leads to a better outcome, then the market would have quickly made it disappear; but in the US the market didn't.

The redistribution of wealth over the last few decades in the US, and the West in general, away from workers is certainly not a good outcome.

> In Europe, you are forced into a particular model. I view that as unfair.

In America it is the same, only the model is different. It doesn't matter if the limiting power originates in the state or in other institutions. Despite little central regulation, feudalism or America in the Gilded Age was more, not less, restrictive on more people than under the regulation of the modern welfare state.

You are making very general statements and treating them as if they apply to the entire homeless population. If you have an interest in fixing problems you should appreciate that people's circumstances vary and so will solutions. The parent's solution will work for many people in poverty: most poor people are young, and most young people do not have children, so moving to a cheaper locale is in fact viable for many homeless. Also, you don't necessarily have to up and leave everything you know; living an hour from the city is often sufficient.
It would be kind of crazy to imagine, if the M-series processor for the Mac Pro is among the best performing CPUs in the world - which it may turn out to be - that these processors would be virtually inaccessible in the server space in any relevant way. It seems like something which should not result from a free market.

I wonder how "usage" is defined here: for instance, if I run a managed service on a fleet of Macs in the cloud, which serves many end customers from each machine, is this allowed under the terms?
Another point is that beginner-friendly languages don't always make expert-friendly languages. Python is great for beginners, but I have seen its lack of types create heaps of brittle code at companies that no one wants to touch.

Some of the "C++ contenders" (besides Rust) like Nim, Zig, and potentially Swift seem to balance this line well: simple to start using, but grow with one's expertise.
>Say that you chose a stranger over your dog. Then that stranger went and killed another person. Would you regret your decision?

No. Because I still would have made the best decision possible at the time given all available information. This is the same argument essentially as the death penalty question. Someone else's violent act can never vindicate your own. That's only valid in the case of immediate self defense. Although if you take this argument to it's logical conclusion, which would be "Kill a thousand dogs, or hang Hitler", I'd have to admit it becomes pretty indefensible. So the real moral choice probably lies somewhere in-between.

>How do you choose to save a stranger's life without knowing anything about them and what they're like?

It's faith in the fact that any single given human life has more intrinsic value than any number of any animals. I'm essentially putting myself in that situation. Would I be ok with dying to save a dog? No, never. And so I extend that to every other person. Obviously this only works with animals. Would I feel the same about a person I love instead? Absolutely not.

There are content-writing AI's which you almost cannot tell is not written by a human, I would be surprised if an automated crawler would be able to tell the difference when humans barely can.

I've even seen agencies use these tools regularly, which makes it possible to spew out several sites per day.
And we see again, proven by historical records in the article, that the Commodity theory of money is wrong.

Yet, their evangelists don’t stop to spread the lie that scarcity and “intrinsic value” would be the root for money’s value. Just another trap they span out to sell you their toxic ideology of austerity and raise the price of the worthless golden commodity they are sitting on.

I never heard about the 3rd generation rule before. But searching it seems to lead only to anecdotal reports, hearsay and a Chinese saying / belief.

The current litterature seems to suggest that on the contrary wealth easily pass down generations. The recent book Capital in the 21 century by Piketti is one of the largest analysis of wealth distribution based on tax data in most western countries for the last century.

Two economists from the bank of Italy went even further and analysed tax data up to 1427 in Florence. They found that "The top earners among the current taxpayers were found to have already been at the top of the socioeconomic ladder six centuries ago."

So it seems that the data suggest that the third generation rule might only be a way for rich people to teach their kid to be careful with their wealth don't you think?

If you have more data I would gladly read about it.

> The lazyio package is not what people are talking about when they say "lazy IO".

I don't know which people you are talking about, but it clearly was in this specific subthread which started with a complaint about “LazyIO”, not “lazy IO”, and where the only use of “lazy IO” in a post before yours was in a post where all previous references were to “lazyIO” and it's specific package documentation, and contextually the “lazy IO” references was about the same thing, not something else.
Let's 100% reverse your argument and see where this takes us, shall we?

In the US, covid has been the leading cause of death for several weeks now. That was before superspreading Christmas celebrations, and next up is New Years.

But what do you mean that heart disease and cancer are pretty much ignored? Fundraising, research, and health advice for these causes is extremely popular and visible.
Would be curious to hear more about what you did. Would you share it with me? Always thought about trying something with VR and the Zoomquilts.
The bitcoin permabears on HN have been hibernating lately, only emerging to give downvotes. It’s quite clear that hard money has a purpose even if you dither on how extensively to use it. Bitcoin is simply the absolute hardest money ever invented that has become globally used, and it’s digital-native. And its marketcap is still so tiny!
I think with their recent hiring spree for core K8s contributors and another factor they may well do. It’s something they’ve dipped their toes into in the past for iCloud services.

If I remember correctly they previously bundled icloud services where each user got a slice of storage on the cloud, so I could see them extending that model to a time slice of compute as well, hosted on some form of K8s. I think the previous model was too limited for most use cases, but it’s not fundamentally broken.

I don’t think the economics of the M1 with 32+ cores make sense unless they go down the route of either build a cloud platform and amortise the cost of the chip design over a larger number of devices (or a chip let approach, but I’m not sure this matches their general design approach).

Also I’m pretty sure they think they have a competitive advantage over traditional x86 and ARM vendors so they’ll likely want to strike while that still holds.
For now, hopefully: https://github.com/webview/webview/issues/85
Of course, and Apple's ISA is targeted towards the People Who Buy Macs industry. By not making it available to datacenters, they are supporting other CPU vendors in the race to catch up. It will help AMD a lot in their bid to catch up that all investors can see that Apple won't be competing with them.
China targets Alibaba with anti-monopoly investigation
"Chinese regulators have launched an anti-monopoly investigation into Alibaba and called in for talks its online finance spinoff, Ant Group – increasing pressure on the e-commerce company founded by the Chinese tech entrepreneur Jack Ma.

On Thursday the state market supervision administration said it had filed an investigation into Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd over “suspected monopolistic practices”.

The People’s Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and State Administration of Foreign Exchange said they would also meet Ant Group for “supervisory and guidance” talks. Ant Group is the developer of AliPay, a mobile payment system now ubiquitous and largely essential in China’s economy."

As someone who was actually thinking about getting the M1 based on the great performance and battery life, but without any actual use for it, I can see what you mean.

But the lack of openness is enough to stop those ideas, a new Surface laptop or next generation AMD mobile is much more useful.

I just hope that a battery life breakthrough is on the horizon from AMD or Intel.

Foreign investment, is really not just foreigner in the traditional since. It also includes anyone from outside the city looking for a place to park their share of the fire house of liquidity the central banks are handing out to the ubber wealthy.

Sure you can stop foreign investors like a nouveau riche Chinese national that owns a successful business in China. But that stuff doesn't even slow down old money.
I have not done this myself, but 2-3 of my friends are doing this currently in the midwest. One is working at a warehouse; one is working at a major home improvement store; and one is doing part time work which effectively amounts to minimum wage. Like the GP stated in his other post, their lifestyles aren't fantastic and they definitely are constrained in their spending, but they are hardly living in squalor: they have adequate, safe, reliable housing; they have functional vehicles; they have health insurance; they don't go hungry; they take driving trips; they come out to our group events and bring their own booze; and they are not in danger of becoming homeless. There is a huge delta between solidly middle class / upper middle class and poor / precarious or homeless which doesn't seem to be acknowledged.

They're very related.

Due to Haskell's non-strict semantics, if a dynamic library, written in Haskell, that some Haskell program is linked to is recompiled, then the code that is linked to it must also be recompiled.
Oh, definitely hindered, but it's kind of a network effect deal. Sex education isn't a high priority, so most people barely know sex, much less sex + tech, which is very much its own thing. That makes building technology like this extra fraught, because of the amount of thinking I have to do up front in order to try and guide things in as safe-ish a direction as possible.

As for talking to people about the project, I've been a public face for the field of sex tech since like 2005, so by this point I'm pretty used to it. It's on my resume, I have academic publications and book chapters on the subject, I've spoken about it at all sorts of conferences around the world, so I've kinda settled into being "The Buttplug Guy".

It took a ton of hard work and image building to get here though, so it's a cliff I don't really recommend anyone else try to climb without realizing how much work it is.

The real question is how would this be beneficial to them? Almost everyone runs production systems on either Linux or Windows, so they would be an outlier, and the only one debugging and contributing to the operating system/libraries/etc.

I've read before on HN about people using Mac hardware in production, when they needed access to macOS graphics API, but since this only concerns a software implementation, and hardware was standard until M1 processors, it's reasonable to assume that Apple could port that part of OS to Linux, if they needed to use it from servers.
I think if you stack the game into a completely unwinnable position (unlimited liability, no statute of limitations, no sunset on discovery of previously unknown harm) then the efforts of these C-Suites will triple down on evasion. Shell companies, regulatory capture, passing the buck, and their own golden parachutes. Because you've made that the only viable option for them.

rich suburbs are sometimes even pricier than paris.

suburbs with massive ethnic populations (1st/2nd generation or immigrants) are dirt cheap but for some of them that means getting food at the hallal butcher,eating kebab, going to a hairdresser where the windows are closed so that you can't see women inside, high crime, dirty cities ran by leftist at best, communist at worst that deny high income to move in those cities (because high income votes right) which spiral into more crime and more diversity stomping away what makes france france.

Airbnb + rich tourists wanting a flat in paris also destroyed real estate in paris (which is a small city)

I hate Apple for that.
They very often use non-standard tech and we'll end up with Apple proprietary processors instead of the standard stuff x64/ARM64.
Developers who don't have regular physical access to a Mac.

My use case might be too specific. But, at home I have a Windows Desktop and Laptop. In the office I use a Mac Mini. Currently, I need to test Apple Pay for Safari. This requires test iCloud credentials. On a mac, this is difficult or prohibitive to swap between live iCloud and test iCloud logins. On Windows, testing via browser emulation is shaky at best.

Also, easily sharing access to a "cloud" (read: remote) instance of macOS with other developer staff is beneficial.
> Rust, [...] have static linking as the default.

Citation needed? Something like 20% of the reason I gave up on Rust was precisely that there was no documented way to force it to generate a static executable.
this is at least partly due to the money multiplier effect - a fed $1 isn't just a $1 after it's been distributed/reloaned/etc through the system:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_multiplier

so you have fed $$ going into banks, which increases their ability to generate loans of future $$ > fed $$, which is then reinvested somehow
> Congress corruptly accepts those bribes, and the blame lies solely with Congress?

Well, ya. It's their job to not be corrupt.
the best diet "hack" I have found is simply not to keep any food in your home that can be ready to eat in less than ten minutes. that little bit of delay/work between feeling hungry and eating enables a much more intentional attitude towards eating for me. it's helped me realize that hunger signals don't necessarily mean my body actually needs nutrients at that instant. random feelings of hunger will often pass if I don't act on them.

> If it's so cheap and good, why is it an extension and not part of the base then?

I think what you mean is why it is not in the G extension which encompasses IMAFD but not C. I agree that is a bit odd.

I think it would have been very wrong if it was part of the I base instruction set. That should be as minimal as possible.

But I guess a question like this easily becomes very philosophical. For me it makes sense that C is not in G, because C is really an optimization and not about capability. A software developer, tool maker etc would care more about the instructions available I think than particular optimizations.

> E.g. the A9 has to carry around all the 32-bit legacy baggage

But surely that counts in RISC-V favor as ARM has no alternative modern minimal 32-bit instruction set. With RISC-V you can use 64-bit and 32-bit instructions with minimal code change.

And I don't see how ARM-64 would have made any of this any better, as it has over 1000 instructions. I am highly skeptical that you can make tiny cores out of that. But I am not a CPU guy so I am okay with being told I am wrong ;-) As long as you can give me a proper reason.

> Doesn't mean that it's a particularly relevant argument for evaluating ISA's for production usage.

True, but I think there is a value in the whole package. You see people evaluating RISC-V and finding that sure there are commercial offerings performing slightly better, or they could make custom ISA that does better. But the conclusion for many is that RISC-V is good enough and with the growing eco-system, that still makes it a better choice in sum. If you are to make a custom ISA today, it better be a lot better than RISC-V to be worth it, I would think.

I would also think there is a value for hardware makers to be on the same platform which Universities and research institutions are going to be using. As well as the same platform students are going to come out of University knowing.

Anyway thanks for the discussion. While I am pushing back on everything (seemingly) I do find this kind of discussion very valuable in learning better pros and cons. It spurs me to look up and learn more things.
> Is it because we value organisms that are "smarter"?

IMO, yes. That, and, I think it's likely that most aren't self-aware, or are at least less self-aware.

> If that's the case, is the life of a person with a high IQ objectively more valuable than the life of a person with a lower IQ?

Possibly—it's just that trying to make that judgement opens up enormous possibilities for horrible outcomes! Just to scratch the surface, IQ tests are very rough measures of intelligence, because they rely heavily on cultural knowledge and are thus biased against certain cultures. You don't want to attempt to make life-and-death decisions based on fuzzy measures like that.

But, I'd posit you should choose to save a dolphin over a dog (and not just because dolphins are endangered).
