Because it won't change. Everyone here knows what Google is and I will bet you that over 90% of HN unique users come from a Chrome browser.

It will only get worse. Google always steps on everyone when it dominates a market. Gmail marked your private email server as spam by mistake? Good luck even finding someone to care. Chrome is at this very moment disabling the HTTP2 standard push feature, essentially asserting Chrome as the real standards body.

This is what all of us chose. Without some regulatory body stepping in, privacy will never come back. Even then, that regulatory body will probably be completely staffed by Googlers, since they are experts in Internet privacy.

> Birth control pills can also cause thrombosis. So why is there all
the fuss about the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca?
It is true that for birth control pills thromboses, even with fatal outcome, are known as a very rare side effect. They are listed in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). The birth control pill is available only on
prescription. Every woman must be informed of this risk by the prescribing
physician. For the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca, there is currently a
suspected very rare side effect of sinus vein thrombosis with accompanying
platelet deficiency, sometimes fatal. It is not listed in the SmPC.
The consideration of whether the vaccine can continue to be used even
though it may cause this very rare side effect (if necessary, after this risk has been added to the SmPC) will be made at the European level by the
European Medicines Agency (EMA) and at the national level by politicians.
The procedure has been initiated.

Which sounds pretty clearly like bureaucratic CYA instead of an actual cost/benefit analysis that takes into account the excess deaths that are now being caused due to pausing the vaccine rollout.

"This potential side-effect is not listed in the SmPC so we need to pause vaccinations", ignoring the fact that hundreds of people are dying every day in Germany (https://www.google.com/search?q=germany+covid+case+fatality+...).

In the 1990s it looked very much as if desktop and server heterogeneity would be the norm. That you'd pick between alternatives like Solaris on SPARC, HP-UX on PA-RISC, Irix on MIPS, Windows on Alpha / MIPS / x86 / PowerPC, MacOS on PowerPC, OS/2 on PowerPC / x86 etc etc.

The designers of Java, as well as software community at large, had dealt with the pain of moving large codebases across platforms and so the WORA promise was very appealing.

I was working on the Google Ads backend, and we had a strict 20ms timeout. The managers didn't care about the algorithms themselves, but my change had a 0.1ms impact on latency in the experiment arm, for launching that you need director level exception approval.

My tech lead actually helped me by saying that the trick is that instead of trying to speed up my own code base (which was really hard), it's easier to find something to improve outside my change to balance for the 0.1ms impact inside the same experiment.
Wow.
I've got a Dell Latitude 5505 with a 4700u.

It's worked great so far except for plugging into Dell's USB-c dock in the morning. This is a guessing game of which (of 3) monitors are going to work, often requiring opening/closing the lid a time or two or turning on/off screens.

Battery life is decent (VERY good if you turn down brightness and ssh to your work) and it's blazing fast. It does get egg cooking hot when unplugged and running the GPU (games).

Running Win10 currently, but trying to figure out which Linux is going to run with 3 monitors without doing hours of research. Suggestions welcome. Guess I'll try PopOS next.

I don't think it's plausibly true now because of the complexity of that contract and the difficulty in expressing it, jurisdictional issues, etc.

But if all that was handled and it was considered binging between you and the first guy then I don't think the transferability would phase a court at all. The NFT by nature, being meant to be transferred, and with tools to prevent that where desired, would indicate intent.

Perhaps a better example would be me (the hypothetical creator of cryptokitties) selling a cryptokitty, with the obvious implication that I would not modify my game to invalidate said kitty. The final owner of the kitty, like yourself, could sue me for misrepresentation for selling a product I intended to disable. Perhaps for tortious interference.
We have tried to be very clear on how the TRU Score is determined [hover over the number and you will see a tooltip/modal that provides details]. Obviously, sharing the actual algorithm would most certainly allow people to game the system.

A couple of other items to consider:
[1] The TRU Score is updated 1x day
[2] The TRU Score is a very slow moving value
[3] As designed, it would likely take years for a member to make it above 900
[4] The TRU Score is primarily based on your activity on the platform and the community reaction to that activity
[5] Outside of the algorithm used, we do not have any direct influence on the TRU Score

Additionally, we are not suggesting that the TRU Score is the absolute measurement of trust or reputation of a person. Instead, it is an additional data point that you can take into consideration when deciding if you want to work with someone. Or, if they want to work with you [both parties have their own TRU Score].

At time of registration, all members start with a TRU Score of 400. Therefore, even the most trustworthy/reputable person on earth will almost certainly have a lower score than you, if you have been on the platform for some time.

I welcome all suggestions on how you think we could be more transparent in determining the TRU Score. We all benefit if it were easier to make better decisions about who we choose to work with.

I think I addressed these points in the other subthread and agreed that, yes, in general, technological gains can indeed alleviate budget problems, including affording food, but it doesn't hold for the example he gave. The comment for a longer reply.

>There's a reason we go for economy-level price stability instead of sector-specific. Imagine if the US had a real bumper crop, more corn and soybeans than you could eat: to meet food price stability targets the Fed would be obligated to shrink the money supply until the corn was as expensive as it used to be, and everyone's mortgages, loans, and credit cards would be harder to pay off.

That I don't have a problem with. The concern is with the opposite scenario: say the Fed is pumping enough money to raise food prices 20%, but techno wizards increase production efficiency across the board by 20% and exactly cancels it out. In that scenario the Fed should say, "wow, we're pumping too much money", not "inflation is just right", because they've stolen credit for the gains of technology.
I think it's a good sign that per-capita energy consumption is decreasing in the US; there are limits to consumption.
If Spotify is in fact spending 75% of its revenue on royalties, but according to you less than 25% of it arrives at the artist, what does that tell you? Either your calculation is wrong, or somebody who is not Spotify is pocketing the difference.
I mostly agree here but I'm not really sure that Podman has replaced Docker. I'm also curious how you're determining that Podman is superior to Docker?
I am for open science in general, but I cannot help but worry about how this disincentivizes research funding. Why? If the U.S. did adopt such a policy, then all funded research does not just benefit the United States, but every nation. Nothing wrong with that, but then those other countries may feel that there is less need to fund their own science programs because they can leech off the United State's investment. Other countries might even close access to their science, and they'd receive benefit from our investment, but we would not benefit from theirs. Alternatively, we can take the view that it is not zero sum, that interactions in open science always makes it the rational decision to keep science open and to fund it.

They can choose for a year or two, but they will lose on scale. Apple can pull off their own processor because they are big enough. If companies don't sell in China, only Chinese companies are big enough to have fancy new components and production processes.
Well, it's collected, and if they already have it in a dump truck, why wouldn't they re-use it? In the spring, the street cleaner cleans my whole street, and dumps each load at the dead-end. Later, it gets loaded into a dump truck and taken somewhere (3-4 dump truck loads in total, estimated).

The last few years they've used sand a lot more sparsely (only on intersections and hills), so I'm pretty sure the street cleaner only picks up one load and can carry it away without needing a dump truck.
The same would be true if he hadn't received such a low amount, so that's not an argument for it not being low.

> “We could do something called the American Equity Fund. The American Equity Fund would be capitalized by taxing companies above a certain valuation 2.5% of their market value each year, payable in shares transferred to the fund..”

I could be in favor of something like this.

However, I’d be curious to hear Sam’s thoughts on what kind of vehicle do we use to ensure that this equity actually reaches end-users?

I can make a very strong historical case that the government is not the right vehicle for this to work. You could also just look at the most recent $1.9T stimulus bill — where only a fraction of it went out as checks to Americans in need.

This is a good thing to do.

For higher-hanging fruit, if you don't have enough different models of drives to make them all unique, then you might still try to protect against a run of manufacturing defects. Suppose there was a slightly defective machine making a series of drives with a certain problem. If you do things like buy drives in different groups from different middlemen or at different times, and either take one from each group or put them into a big pool and grab them at random, then that decreases the likelihood of having multiple drives from a single defective run end up in the same array.
The point is that it's about valuing the content which actually makes or breaks people's decision to subscribe to the service. Spotify is convenient, but it wouldn't survive on top-40 content because people would just go back to their MP3s or listen to it on YouTube.

I'm pretty sure that Netflix understands this, by the way— they know that deep-pocketed competitors like Amazon are going to eat their lunch if they try to do mass-appeal prestige shows starring A-list celebs, so they only do a few of those (enough to basically fill the homepage), while leaning hard into extremely niche content. Like, have you seen how many weird cooking shows there are on there? Or Hallmark Christmas movies? This is stuff that's harder to find elsewhere, and there are dedicated audiences on Netflix who are mostly or exclusively consuming it. If Netflix's internal accounting worked like how Spotify pays royalties, those shows would be instantly canceled in favour of new primetime-style sitcoms.

But they aren't, and I think it's because there are pools of their subscribers who will cancel the service if there isn't a steady stream of the specific content they're interested in. Thus, their subscriber $$$ go directly to funding that content, rather than into a general pot that's broken up by raw viewership numbers.

The answer is exactly what you (likely) suspect:

* Most labour isn't high value

* Western workers have an expectation of a high standard of living that grew out of post-War economic expansion

* Employer/Employee relations are asymmetric: the former has greater market power to influence pricing than the latter

* Fairness in human relations is an independent notion from the economic clearing price, cf. The Dictator Game

* The most effective techniques at causing change involve at least some appeals to emotion or outrage

Put this together and you'll get this thread.

Some parts of the southern US have a bounty on nutria tails. On top of the bounty I think there's some nice incentives because IMO invasive species are a relatively ethical source of fur (if you're killing them anyways, might as well use the fur).

However I think these sorts of programs are tricky because if you make the incentives TOO good you can end up with really bad side effects. For example the (apocryphal?) story about how India created a cobra bounty to reduce the wild population, and people eventually realized it was easier and still profitable to just breed cobras at home. When the government realized this, they stopped the program. With no more incentive to raise the cobras, the breeders let them go, increasing the overall population.

How exactly does one create designs of their own without importing them?

I'm not a Cricut user, but Cricut said:

“Any project created within Design Space with images or fonts found in Design Space can be modified and do not count as a personal image upload. If users want to use images from other applications, such as a .jpg or .png, and upload those images to Design Space, that counts as a personal image upload.”

And I didn't say anything about legal. It probably is, and I'm sure they're team vetted it too.

Then I think we're arguing the same point -- what Cricut did is bad, but probably legal and well within their rights and it is what happens when people embrace closed platforms without understanding the drawbacks.

It's the same thing that leads people to buy $80 inkjet printers that only work with DRM'ed inkjet cartridges that cost $60 for a set of cartridges that contain $3 worth of ink.

4) I now owe 2.5% of these sky-rocketing property values every year, to be paid from my non-existent income

Doesn't this scenario lead to me either selling my "gifted" shares to pay property taxes, or ending up a renter at best and homeless at worst? I can imagine this proposal leading to greater concentrations of wealth rather than spreading it around.

The earliest nuclear power plants in the US were far more expensive than contemporary fossil combustion plants. I can dig up specific cited numbers if you doubt it. The US has built 114,694 megawatts of power reactors [1]. The US has built less than 100,000 megawatts of solar PV as of 2019 [2]. If both technologies need equal numbers of megawatts to reach equal maturity levels, nuclear should be more mature. (Obviously the number of projects is always going to be smaller for nuclear, since solar projects are as small as a few kilowatts on a rooftop, and nuclear projects are all measured in megawatts.)

The AP1000 units under construction at Vogtle started construction in 2013. That was 56 years after Shippingport Atomic Power Station and Vallecitos Nuclear Center started operation in Pennsylvania and California.

As of February 2013, the 2 AP1000 units at Vogtle were supposed to cost $15.3 billion. As of December 2017 the estimate had increased to $23 billion. The big mystery is why the costs were so badly under-estimated only 4 years earlier. Construction started after Three Mile Island, after Chernobyl, after Fukushima, after 50+ years of commercial power reactors in the US, and after regulatory requirements had changed to address prior nuclear incidents. The initial cost estimate should have accounted for all those factors. Will the next nuclear project account for them better?

Why artists on Spotify are not treated the same as Uber drivers? They are in fact employees providing content for the platform. From that perspective, Spotify should be paying at least a minimum wage for every artist signed on to the platform, plus any streaming money as a bonus.
There is also a problem that some artists (from major labels) get more money than small artists for the same number of streams. I think this should be looked into by a regulator. The same way as workers doing the same job should be paid the same salary, artists should be receiving the same money per stream.
