Vouchers and food stamps are similar to what I was proposing, but not the same thing. One aspect is that they are not digital currency. Another aspect is that there are particular constraints on reception and difficulty applying for them. Another one is that there is no comprehensive resource tracking such as housing availability. Additionally the amounts are very minimal. They are a very low-tech nod in that direction, but have not in any way disproven the concept.

I'm all for things like universal basic income also. But again, the old-fashioned monetary system we have now and poor resource tracking do not permit universal basic income. Because for one thing it doesn't work properly unless its truly universal and there is not sufficient government revenue to support it.
The crucial difference is that HN doesn’t spend any resources creating the articles so it can focus its actual resources on cultivating a healthy discussion.

The “toxic a-holes in the comment section” problem is difficult for small blogs where commenters sustain the bulk of the public discussion surrounding each post. But, even for small local newspapers, the conversation about the articles happens outside of the newspaper, and very rarely is there anything useful or substantively original in the comments section on a newspaper website. So while there are arguments for keeping a moderated comments section, it is a lot of cost for probably little benefit (and, as the Inquirer says, they would rather focus on reporting).

Can anyone win a war with a country that has these factories spread out throughout its land. It will be incredibly difficult to win against it.

If these things can be made modular, with AI and control tech being firmware that can be downloaded over the air, and the hardware being manufactured anywhere, it could lead to end of all wars. Why would you want to fight a war with a country when you know you will never win it.

>I thought normal time meant a later sunset and later sunrise in the winter.

It depends on what you're comparing against. Stuff is usually compared against normal time. So from that reference, normal time isn't a later or earlier sunset or sunrise at any time of the year. It's the standard. Normal=normal.

>That's why DST was enacted no? So that in the winter the sun rises earlier and sets earlier?

DST didn't change the winter, it only changed the summer. If you want to compare the current status vs a hypothetical permanent DST, then yes, the current status means the sun rises earlier and sets earlier in the winter compared to permanent DST.

>Anyways my preference would be for later sunrise and sunset, so that more of the day can be enjoyed around work. Which I think means staying on standard time the whole year.

No, that's staying on daylight time the whole year. Daylight time means the summer has a later sunrise and sunset. If we switch to permanent daylight time, then winter will also have a later sunrise and sunset. This was tried in the 70s, and was repealed 383 to 16 because people didn't like it:

That articles take the mountains of evidence that changing schedules is terrible for our health, and misrepresents it as evidence that switching to permanent DST would be bad for our health.

There are tons of terrible norms in our schedules that are harmful for people's health, but switching the clock around twice a year simply confounds and complicates any attempts to fix them. For example:

> To counter chronic sleep deprivation in students, many schools have delayed their morning start times—in effect, moving the school clock back. But DST negates this move for five months of the school year. Year-round DST would negate it all year.

If we switched to permanent DST, high-schools could just push start times back one more hour, and students could consistently get the benefit year-round.

> It’s actually way simpler than a lot of people here are making it out to be.

> If you are storing OR transmitting PHI you are required to be HIPAA compliant. That’s it.

IANAL

I don't think that's accurate or correct. I think that is how all parties should behave, but that is not what the law mandates.

Covered Entities are the only original entities that are required to be HIPAA compliant. That's a relatively specific definition.

Here's a source to the NIH which supports my position: https://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/pr_06.asp#:~:text=Cov....

> The Privacy Rule applies only to covered entities. Many organizations that use, collect, access, and disclose individually identifiable health information will not be covered entities, and thus, will not have to comply with the Privacy Rule.

> Covered entities are defined in the HIPAA rules as (1) health plans, (2) health care clearinghouses, and (3) health care providers who electronically transmit any health information in connection with transactions for which HHS has adopted standards

So if you are not a Health Plan, a Health Care Clearinghouse, or a Health Care Provider; and you have not entered into a formal contractual relationship (known as a BAA) with one of those three entities then you are not subject to HIPAA.

If you are not a Covered Entity, you can ask for people to submit their PHI to you in plain-text. If they do, you could store it in plain-text. Again, I want to be really clear: *you should not do this*, but it would be legal to do so.

I think if you are storing or transmitting PHI you should be required to be HIPAA compliant, but it's just not correct to say it is categorically so.

> There are tons of ways to support reform of police (or otherwise vindication of the fact that government/police overreach is a problem) that don’t involve “defunding” the police

While this is technically true, in practice support for BLM is virtually synonymous with support for defunding the police. That's why your implication: "don't support BLM -> totally discredited" is so divisive, because in the real world it means "don't support defunding police -> totally discredited". It should also be noted that the BLM corporation funnels hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to the Democratic Party through ActBlue [0], so you are actually requiring conservatives to support the Democratic Party in order not to be discredited.

Progressive politicians always frame their specific policy goals as a righteous moral crusade, and always manipulate the narrative to make it seem like the the only people who could possibly think differently are "some of the worst people in the world". It's tribal bullshit designed to shut down any real discussion about whether the policies actually address the needs they are claimed to address, or whether they do more harm than good overall. People have different opinions on policy for many reasons, some good, some bad. They shouldn't have to constantly fall in line behind the latest partisan movement to be seen as having legitimate opinions.

To clarify: I'm using the word "discredited" because the question you proposed "So the question is, is an ideology like conservativism what it claims to outsiders or to what its adherents actually do and say to one another? Professed vs revealed preferences." taken with your arguments seem to amount to seeing conservativism as basically bullshit. You've framed your comment as responding to a question, but akarma's comment doesn't actually ask any questions, and you kind of took over the framing with your response. I'm responding to your comment, not the line of questioning that you have been talking about (since I don't see any question for you to respond to, was the comment edited?)

Yeah, the cop is much more likely to unload one or more high-capacity magazines than the bad guy is.

But you're wrong in this way: shot-for-shot the cop is no more likely to hit a target than is a bad guy(BG). Difference is the cop won't quit shooting until he's out of ammo (likely multiple 20-round magazines) b/c he's required to stay at the scene, whereas the BG will (sensibly) leave ASAP.

When I benchmarked oberonc [0], an oberon-07 self-hosting compiler for the JVM, it took about 100 ms with a hot VM on a old Intel i5 @ 2.80GHz. That compiler follows the same one-pass compilation approach.

Agreed, and most of there comment sections are badly moderated in the first place. I find more insightful comments on Reddit and other platforms anyway.
I think that newspapers are dying due to a lack of good leadership and direction.

It's a hard job to do right and theres no incentive for it. Instead we have a bunch of idealists who's dream is to influence people. (But they don't have the experience to understand why their position is misfounded and harmful) [This is where you get vice and other extreme positioned based papers]

Anyways, journalism never really caught up on the idea about online news and tried to go the ad revenue route. They didn't innovate and they degraded their product. (Clickbait). Then they tried to put the genie back by doing paywalls. (Expensive and they've been using dark patterns to try to prevent you from cancelling)

They've had their chance to understand what the context of their work is and to innovate. But all we're seeing is a profit driven approach with no clear acknowledgement about how people want to interact with them.

I think we agree, we just define PHI differently.

> “ Many organizations that use, collect, access, and disclose individually identifiable health information will not be covered entities”

They don’t use PHI here for a reason.

When an individual, not a provider or insurance company, submits a health record to you, it’s not technically considered PHI.

Therefore, I believe my statement still stands.
> Also, a mesh can add value as a unified access layer that proxies queries and applies data governance rules (e.g. sharing data, access control, column masking, query whitelisting, rewriting, rate limiting, auditing, firewalling, etc.). It would be hard to do this in your warehouse, because as soon as you have another one, or there's some data that you can't ETL into it, you lose any benefits of its access layer. (e.g. Maybe you have two warehouses because you haven't fully migrated to one, or for cost reasons like storing FireBase clickstream data in BigTable that you can't move to Snowflake with the rest of your data. Now you need to maintain two sets of accounts and ACLs for each warehouse.).

I have been actively championing this point of view for years but... I'm curious, are any paying customers actually interested in this? I don't know how you can market this successfully.

Sure, but letters to the editor required the paper to read them and choose which ones were worth printing.

Comments on most news sites are typically just assholes making every story about whatever they're obsessed with.

Letters to the editor are still an active thing.
Yes, but letters to the editor were picked by the editors for their ideas and for their writing. It was a high bar, often higher than the newspaper itself. So I used to enjoy reading them because of this.
I wouldn't know. If you asked me years ago why would anyone cook LIBOR, I wouldn't have known why or how. But such things happen. I think there is precedent for government figures on inflation being unreliable, (Argentina maybe?) so if you insist "it can't happen here" (in the USA) then it could be hubris, the assumption the US is just better than other countries.

When organizational failures happen, they don't happen with full transparency or with the participation of everyone in a large organization as if it were one big pyramid. Some people compromise with their conscience, but many others are just trying to balance doing their job as they see it with keeping their manager happy. The dynamics of sub-organizations depend on their directors and how much autonomy they have.
Yeah but starts to fall apart for anything beyond basic search/filtering (like grouping, computed fields)
Sure, but that is a moderated communication channel. They pick and choose what to publish and, unlike most comment sections, unmoderated content is not visible to your audience. The opaqueness of the moderation process in a world without instant mass communication (i.e. the internet) would also likely have made it unlikely for your readers (users) did not have an expectation for their messages to be quickly reviewed or published.

The other big advantage is that the only participants in channel are the newspaper and the submitter; no interaction between third parties on your platform means no flame wars or the like.
I've participated in such forums before, such as comp.lang.c++.moderated, and it works.
Your assumption of current social media is the only way for mass to run content is not necessarily true. One alternative I would imagine is hosting companies to develop one-click solutions for grandmas using cellphone to create their own websites / blog under their own domains. They can choose whether to allow strangers post comments on their websites.

Of course there's more possible alternatives.
I think this is a prime example of why micro-benchmarks are hard to get right, and easy to get wrong.

In particular, there are two concerning things here:

"rust" and "go" have pretty different memory performance characteristics -- one has GC and heavy runtime and other does not! It seems like this is "go vs rust" comparison, not "goroutines vs thread". For fairness, you want the same language.

Another point is that the examples are really trivial, and don't really exercise the stack. Would the thread stack shrink back or grow too fast? What about goroutine stack?
These are outstanding!

A lot of supposed "racism, sexism, etc..." is not actually bigotry, it's just people saying true things that happen to be taboo to say.

Sometimes I find it amusing. As long as it doesn't cross over into people actually hurting others, I'd rather it be open to say. Words don't bother me.
