Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? You've been doing a lot of this, and it's not what this site is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of this community to heart, we'd be grateful.
The tweet by the Apple developer has been deleted - hope he didn't lose job, and at worst only earned a reprimand. (Nobody with experience would call it a bug, when it was clearly a deliberate design decision).
Why do you require software to be more resilient than other things?

If I pour water in the gastank of my car, it will also fail to drive. Or gas in the sprinkler tank. So the car should somehow prevent the enduser putting the wrong thing in the tank?

Male Orangutan Steps Up to Care for 2-Year-Old Daughter After Death of Matriarch
I find the email address & name field when you first hit the page very jarring. When I first hit the page I'm not ready to give that info. I want to learn a bit before then. My first instinct (like a cat swatting at a dangling rat) was to scroll down or "X" out.

As a skeptical retard the "See our most recent issue" should be more 'up front and center' so that I can experience what you're offering without the stress of entering my email address into yet another website.

Also, are you associated with Reddit or /r/wallstreetbets? The logo feels similar..
You can't compare every vehicle because most other car companies are really old and have lots of vehicles. Tesla is relatively new and has a tiny number of cars.
What got me interested here was the fact that these folks directly addressed the basic motive of any engineering work viz. operational cost reduction.

Creating annotated corpus always incurs overhead, and these guys figured out how to perform effective GEC on raw data.
Most of the things in this list I can see what they're testing for but your favorite stumps me. Can you give me a hint? Thanks.

I think the author's point could be broadened to just say, if you want peace, study the historical reasons for conflicts and how to avoid them.

Or even more broadly, if you want peace, study history and make it an important part of your decision making process.
>> If everyone in Tajikistan has $5 except the president

> That distribution will yield a very high gini coefficient of very close to 1.

It yields (n-1)|5-p|/(2n(5(n-1)+p)) which is about p/(5n+p).

So it depends on whether the president (p) has $10 or $n^2.
Hey I know this didn't get a lot of attention here, but I just wanted to say that this site has been a huge help for me personally. Keep it up - it's been one of the best ways to evaluate the libraries that are out there.
There's a case to be made that Twitter and Facebook turned a blind eye to extremism for profit but Gab has no place making that case. Gab has long since passed the exit for the high road.
This is slightly misleading. The federal tax rate is a tiered system, meaning a portion of your income is taxed at a certain rate and income that exceeds that tier is taxed at a different rate after that and so on.

The federal tax rate is much lower if you account for that.
Taking a quick look through your comment history, I see you are generally an advocate for free speech and open scientific inquiry when it comes to, for example, looking for genetic differences between races and allowing Holocaust deniers the right to make their case. It's surprising then that you object to something as simple as looking at the basic demographics of this dataset.
Well you’re situation sounds a bit extreme, and at the extremes there are also people making 6 figures in Europe, especially in the UK and maybe some central/north countries.
That's 100k pounds, not dollars, and he's making more in RSUs. I also imagine he's an E5, because E6 salaries in London are higher than that.

To be honest, given how Facebook works, all the work he does in React/Redux is probably hindering him in terms of getting promotions.

The body cams should not have an off button. So there should be no way to forget to turn them on. And having them be off or otherwise mysteriously malfunctioning should end up in an assumption of guilt on the part of the officer.

There are absolutely staggering amounts of waste in large, especially market dominating, companies. Mainly because they can afford it... for a while. The difference with most smaller, and even mid-sized, companies is that if they made even a fraction of the number and size mistakes (and I'm only talking in relative, rather than absolute, terms) that large companies do they would be bankrupt in a year or two. Large companies typically have momentum and either very large (i.e. other large companies and governments) or very large numbers (i.e. many 10's or 100's of millions of consumers) of customers who are slow to change. (Intel has both) It will often be years before catastrophic mistakes will even be acknowledged and even longer before the company is irreversibly impacted by them. As a result, you can pack in people for years who really have no business being there without immediate negative impact.

While people would likely disagree on the exact ratio in a given company, it's far worse than you would ever imagine. The inevitable eventually happens: they cease being able to make (or make very well) the very product(s) they're known for. Occasionally companies will get shocked back to life as they see it all slipping away. More commonly they just wither and die as they are unable or unwilling to change the culture that got them to that point.

Do I believe 1:40? If anything, I think that might be a conservative number at this point. Intel has become tragically/comically incompetent.
The way things are going out would make more sense to start designing versions with fewer stars, not more. Should the DNC press ahead with their plans for statehood for places which they deem to be certain DNC-voters and possibly pack the supreme court I foresee a split of the union into a narrow coastal region (sea and lakes) versus "the rest". Xi and Vlad Will be happy, the rest of the world not so.

Looks like it's not ready yet. Otherwise they could've made a more convincing demo from the driver's point of view, where we can see how things are positioned in relative to the wind shield, the engine hood, etc.
Not having to save for your kids education will already offset that, if you look at American university prices.
In the states, tax is obscure but painful -- you feel it when you pay it, like a sales tax not included in the price or a complicated tax form. In Europe, tax is hidden but smooth -- like a VAT built into the cost of everything or a 3-box tax form (in NL)
So, it would have been possible under the hypothesis that all 50 states can agree on an incredibly controversial policy? I doubt all 50 states can agree on whether the earth is more than 10,000 years old, so this sounds like a fantasy.
That’s a terribly short lifespan IMO.

> When politicians are elected, they should be given the opportunity to actually govern on the agenda they ran on.

That is a reasonable argument against filibuster. I may agree with it or disagree, I don't know where I stand.

But the argument "because Republicans" should not be acceptable.

> The argument that an elected majority, elected by free and fair elections, should not be able to implement the platform they ran on seems fundamentally anti-democratic in itself.

It is more complicated than that.

In the real world the democratic system should also protect against "tyranny of the majority". Many checks and balances exists in particular to avoid that tyranny, not just three branches you mentioned.

Again, I'm not saying filibuster is good or bad.
Culture used to be a generations common denominator. People drifting towards certain media, fashion or consumer products that allowed to express themselves as individuals and as part of a larger group at the same time. That concept got grabbed by marketeers, who now monetize every fledgling new trend before it gets a chance to be organically adopted. It's likely through ads and product placement that new trends will reach you first. And they will tell you what value to assign to object X or style Y before you ever get a chance to make up your mind yourself.

People older than 30 will remember a time when their generation got to shock the previous ones with their electronic music and indie movies. Newer generations never had an equal opportunity to find their own 'vibe'. It was sold to them.

I think some distributions have moved towards requiring a 686 class (ppro/pII) machine.

It really depends on how much modern web you want to do. TLS is significant overhead on older machines. And javascript heavy sites can bring modern machines to a crawl.
> Remember that as far as the fab goes, performance is just what clock speeds can be hit, and Intel's clocks are the highest - they have the fastest transistors. 14nm+++++ is a meme/joke, but the actual transistor speed of it is still downright impressive.

My understanding is that Intel's fast transistors come at a cost of not being particularly dense for the process node they are implemented on. So it's a question of design philosophy as well. Intel has fast, but somewhat sparse transistors, they use a lot of hand layout etc. to really optimize their designs so they can clock high.

Other players use a different philosophy. Slower, but denser transistors and more automated layout may not clock as high, but the improved density gives you more cores (e.g. AMD vs Intel) and/or allows a more "brainiac" core design (wider, deeper ROB, better branch prediction, more cache, etc. like Apple M1), and also gets you a better turnaround time.
I assume it's a joke to test if reality is a simulation or a dream.

Please stop posting flamewar comments to HN. We've had to ask you this before, and we ban accounts that won't stop doing it. The rules apply regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Edit: it looks like you've been breaking the site guidelines badly for quite a while now, by using HN primarily for political battle and posting lots of flamewar comments. That's seriously not ok. It's contributing to destroying this community, which is extremely vulnerable to such pressures.

I've been giving accounts a pass or letting them off with a warning when they've only been doing this during the collective fever of the last few days—but your account has been doing it for months, and that's very different. I've banned this account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.
I work at a unionised company, our union is called IG Metall. You can google the EG (entgelt) levels - engineers range from EG14-17 + an additional % each month (depending on your productivity range from 10-25% of brutto on top) + we get 14 salaries instead of 12 (roughly - union agreement). https://www.igmetall.de/download/docs_MuE_ERA_Entgelte_Juni2...
> That's one of the few great things about capitalism - competition drives innovation.

Just so long as the aforementioned monopolies don't choke out competition. Sadly, we seem to end up with a lot of pseudo-monopolies in the tech industry.

I wonder how much more competition we could have with strict monopolies regulation on acquisitions and mergers?
That’s because it’s both more annoying than warranted and completely insufficient, even ignoring that “running through pattern match” is not great (see: parse, don’t validate).

* “untainting” is highly context-specific, that something was cleaned up for HTML does nothing for SQL

* which also means that the boundary is incorrect, just because you’re getting something out of storage does not mean it’s safe for anything (not even storing it back)

In Croatia the total would be about 63%. If you go through capital gains (no paycheck just profit after corporate tax, capital income tax and VAT) it's 53%. It could go down if some company expenses can be used for your life expenses.

In Austria the total is 75%. In Austria going through capital gains would still be 70%.

I'm very disappointed at how much money Europe sucks out of my work.

> However, part of the shift away from war studies owes to the quest for “social justice”

...

> history overall is worryingly in decline as an academic subject

There might be a connection there.

People who want to think about social justice will go to the political science department. Nothing wrong with that. But people who are passionate about history want professors who are also passionate about history.

History and social justice can go together, of course, but the passion really goes behind one or the other.
> But I would want to point out the curious phrasing and of your first paragraph and what that says about USA way of thinking. All these points are business targeted while all european points are individual targeted.

I don't think there is anything curious about this way of thinking. And US hegemony plays directly into this!

Pre-World Wars, European nations had their colonies and their militaries and the priority of thinking was along similar lines: access to expansive markets, large pools of labor, protection of business interests etc, chiefly through colonies.

WW2 changed all of that, reducing European nations to client states (no disrespect) of the US, that funded their reconstruction. Colonialism was no longer allowed, and European nations could not freely pursue foreign markets without competing with US companies, which would always get precedence. With no real way to compete with the US militarily, and with NATO aligning with their immediate geo-political needs anyways, European nations invested heavily on Social Services, rather than blow up their military budgets. This geopolitical equation hasn't changed post WW2 and you have generations of people that consider social services as the primary function of their Government.

However, its a fundamental mistake to assume that a Government can provide effective social services without having a strong economy. Strong economies require successful businesses.
The need for convenience libraries is like parenting with television. It doesn’t seem bad and is just so much easier in every possible way, but any objective observer readily sees the difference in quality of product.

The primary reason for that distinction is that you are willing to spend a tiny bit of effort on micro-improvements to quality of product or aren’t, just like parenting. Yes, the effort is ridiculously tiny because it pays for itself with only a trivial amount of practice.
Here you have to explicitly end your subscriptions. Stopping payments will definitely not do that. You'll end up dealing with collection agencies.

As more of the "largest darknet marketplace"s are taken down, it kinda becomes less and less impressive whenever some law enforcement agency does it.

This one seems to have decent volume by BTC and other crypto, but it's not really anything earth-shattering.

In the scheme of things, I don't see there being any major ground made in preventing people from selling dope online. It's nearly trivial to ship it anonymously and it's nearly trivial to package it and sanitize it and aside from taking the time to scan and inspect every single piece of mail, people are going to continue to want to buy drugs online.
VR aims for sub 12ms. (80+ fps. 11ms for 90 fps)
Well, the other viewpoint is that Intel is really a fab company, which is in the business of selling silicon real estate.

The CPU design business is just a tiny part, most of the investment goes into fabs and process.
But one of the reasons why buying stuff was so hard last year (which I imagine is what you meant) was because people were buying a lot more stuff.
“Using it wrong” is usually quite obvious with real-life machinery. Software has many more ways of using it wrong that are very unobvious, that the user has no reason to suspect could be dangerous, and that have never been seen before.
I started out in the 90s with telnet, gopher, et al on a Mac IIci, and a 386 that had Win 3.10 and Trumpet winsock installed. Sun/SGI were user friendly-ish. I suppose there was bigger iron available, and a few home computers that tcpip was backported to. But they'd be harder to come by.
I'm in general agreement with what you've said, but note that border closures are a far more difficult proposition for Ireland.

The Good Friday Accords make closing the border with NI a political impossibility, and failing that you'd be relying on the UK instituting border/quarantine arrangements between Great Britain and NI.
Holding down the button for your hazard lights should not break your car. Holding down a key should not crash an app.
It's not up to customers to assume the good intentions of a large organization. Apple has internal decisions and processes that result in them not communicating in a timely manner. Whatever fallout from that is on them.
The marginal cost of storage is quite small. “Dumping” and “predatory pricing” arguments make more sense for physical goods — competitors like OneDrive or Google Drive could easily make the case that Dropbox is a premium storage service that does not reflect the true cost of storage.
But Parler is not built by pirates and street kids. It is built by establishment republicans with billionaire backing.

Because often times crashes in an app lead to information exfiltration or remote code execution.

And what fraction of USD do banks need to keep in reserve? What's the rate at which we 'minted' USD in the last year?

Even if we assume that Tether is 100% fraudulent and has zero reserves, that still only represents 24 billion of bitcoin's 600 billion market cap. Nothing compared to the USD that was 'minted' recently.
Going by the scenario in the first paragraph 1930 might be your answer. Here is a video of a 1930 teletype connected to a linux machine:

Hardware efficiency is only relevant for programming effort today in a few industries, and even there, only in a few specific applications.

If you gave me a processor that could run instructions instantly, my product's release would at best be brought forward 1-2 weeks.

The largest efforts in programming are to do with translating requirements into code. Efficiency is a part of that, and there are obviously problems where it dominates, but there are many other difficulties even when it isn't.

I've always heard: if you want peace, prepare for war
They're not really taking up space per se. For the cost of a fab, a new building (or new wing of a building) is peanuts.

Adding on to that, in a lot of ways the fab is the building, and at a bare minimum you'd be resetting a lot of the yield issues you fixed by moving it to a new space. So then you'd be left with an old node and yield issues, and what's the point of that?

There's also a ton of trade secret style IP still in the old nodes that could help a competitor, so why let it leave your property? Intel for instance is so into preventing trade market theft on the specifics of their nodes that they (at least used to) manually drill out every mobile device camera allowed in their fabs, in addition to the normal "no outside electronics past this point" security stations.
Does that make it a "quotemanteau"?

Wait... Is that a thing? Are there more of these?

Umm... I would say the social services in european countries are pretty successful.

Even that's pretty overt. It should be entirely possible to change the course of political events by leaking damaging info at appropriate times.

That is how I feel about WiFi. The fact that you can send out large amounts of data on shared channels is amazing. It is astonishing that it works as well as it does.
Not sure whether the comparison is apt. Especially during the lock down, parenting without using Media ... well, it does not involve a „trivial“ amount of practice or a „ridiculously tiny“ amount of effort.
