Nation-state desires & institutional desires are human desires. Capital can't "fire" capital owners, that's just a non-sequitur, the very concept of capital ownership is both defined and enforced by human beings. Other capital owners and consumers, ie. humans, fire them. Yes, entire industries are reconfigured and nation-states are redrawn because some humans want them to be reconfigured.

This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what people mean when they refer to organizations as entities. One might group together the common interests of an organization as a whole for the sake of simplifying discussion, but that in no way implies that an organization is actually some kind of inhuman entity that functions without humans. When people say "the government wants X" or "Britain doesn't like Y", they don't mean it literally. Government is nothing without the human politicians and officials it's comprised of and/or the human citizens that recognize its authority. A hundred dollar bill is worth nothing without humans to want it and the things it can buy. Suggesting that capitalism can produce non-human economic value contradicts the most basic definition of economic value.

And no, I don't think only humans have desires, but the capitalist economy we have created is based on human desires. Horses clearly have desires too, but thus far they have not invented an economy to serve horse desires. It wasn't non-existent horse capitalism that replaced horses, it was human capitalism.

> Of all the firms in human existence maybe a fraction of a percent are still around. You think the 'owners' of capital wanted that to happen?

Yes actually, I don't know why you think that's somehow undesirable. A lot of firms fail to adapt to human desires & needs so humans drop them. I'm honestly confused at the implication that capital owners want a lot of "firms" to exist when they're only a means to an end.

Minor Hyperscript contributor here! English-like syntax may odd to many current front-end developers. We’ve been shaped in the mold of C for decades, and its hard to break away. That’s understandable.

But to me, the real value in hyperscript is that it’s crafted for the specific needs of a client-side browser application. Using hyperscript, I can get things done in a fast and maintainable way, using a very-high-level language that everyone understands. Sure, I could do it in Javascript too, but the price is significantly more code that is much harder to maintain.

Oddly, I’m building hyperscript into the front-end my current web app for the same reason that I chose Go (over Node.JS) for the app back-end: the end of callback hell. What’s listed above as simply “async transparency” and “event driven flow control” are complete game changers for a web-based front-end — No more callbacks. No more promises. Orchestrate complex animations like they’re “hello world.” And start using events like they were meant to be used, but in ways that you simply never would have thought of if you had to do it in Javascript.

That’s my $0.02. I hope hyperscript works out as well for you as it does for me. Cheers :)

> We lost Flash because Steve Jobs didn't want another platform ruining his vice grip over iPhone. The battery life "issue" could have been fixed in short order.

Flash is notorious for being riddled with security holes.

Also none of the flash content was designed for touch and so it produced a garbage user experience.

Jobs was right not to support it.
This is called out in the article; infrastructure is capital intensive, so, unless the resulting infrastructure is actually a good investment, you’d get more bang for your buck (in terms of a jobs program) just handing out money.
You're presenting a false dichotomy. I think the parent would have preferred these projects be successful and sustainable without the sleazy tactic of baiting users with free stuff, taking a mountain of VC cash, and then desperately trying to find ways of "monetizing" those users. Bleh.

F/OSS software works best when it's not a revenue source of the business that develops it. "Hey, I ran into $problem at $work and created $project to fix it! I'm giving it away so that it might solve your problem too! Hit me up on $mailing_list if you want to contribute." Red Hat is pretty much the poster child of this model. They make $0 on all the FOSS software they develop and release to the world but they dogfood it into their own products to collect dividends.

sounds like an excuse, it’s a little creepy that certain parties have such a stake in vaccines being extremely trustworthy, as if there’s something wrong with it being a different case per each individual’s health/risk status, they should be saying “talk to your doctor” rather than “everyone get the vaccine when it’s your turn”

The really strange thing about tests is even if you pay out of pocket you still have to get a doctor to sign off on it, which dramatically increases the friction and price for testing.

It's just information about your body. You shouldn't need a doctor's approval for that.

The thing about DNA damage is that it replicates. mRNA is pretty much designed to be degraded almost immediately after it is transcribed.

If I understand woofie11 correctly, it means that the probability that an error in a single mRNA corresponds with an error in another mRNA to cause a larger perceivable effect is small. The errors would have to be made in the exact same way.

It's useless if it gets wet before you use it

It's fine if it's wet as long as it can still be spread by the spreader. In fact, there has to be some moisture in order for the salt to lower the freezing point. It can't mix easily with frozen ice that has no free moisture.

"Pre Wetting" salt is actually a tactic used for snow/ice mitigation for this exact reason.
Different sources I find give between $1100 and $1600 as the annual average total auto insurance in the US, with about half of that liability. But there is a lot of regional variation. (state averages seem to vary by a factor greater than 2; and rates vary by ZIP code, not just state, and the range between ZIP codes has to be much greater than that between stats averages.) But, nationally, $120/mo. ($1,440/yr) for liability-only is very high.
Their old URL doesn't redirect there (take out the dash), so it's understandable that people think it was just a meme/disappeared.
I think the issue is more that the healthcare industry makes doctors gatekeepers to healthcare, which can breed tremendous amount of resentment between doctors and patients. A doctor is pressured/forced to provide service to patients, and patients are not legally allowed to seek healthcare from other types of professionals, like biochemists for example, which often have a much better understanding of some diseases than doctors.

When there is so much coercion and lack of consent, people get very frustrated.

Otherwise it's the #1 browser by usage by far, which is saying a lot considering it doesn't come preinstalled on Windows or on Macs, so all those users are making a deliberate choice to switch.

If you wanted to really limit it to gamers, why not partner with steam/origin/etc and have them pass out tokens to buyers for use with vendors based on previous gameplay history.

They did that so that they could run the Shifter from the memory on the off-cycle of the CPU, right? I mean, it's crazy because it worked and all my STs I have downstairs have never failed, and I don't recall ever having issues with memory chips on them, and I don't recall them ever being unreliable.

As for the XE, from reading the forums it sounds like they just used a bad batch of 4164 DRAMs, something to do with them being American made and not Japanese. I seem to remember this was the era of crazy fluctations in memory prices.
My first Atari was a 130XE. I now have 800XL's and a couple more XE's, but my favorite case design is still the XE. It just always seemed like a futuristic case to me, while the XL beige case kinda felt more like the previous era. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

My Atari (no affiliation, but a happy customer since the 90's) still has a ton of (brand new, old stock) parts and (in some cases) brand new computers, and they're stored in beautiful northern California, so they don't get any UV damage. They're also absolute knowledge sinks for Atari's (both 8-bit and ST):

Someone convince me there's any reason for a public official to have a private conversation with investors like this. What types of discussions are essential to the duties of a PUC chair, that are also essential to keep from public view? Aside from negotiations during a competitive bid process, I can't think of much else.

I know there has to be reasons for this type of communication to occur, but I am having a hard time with examples. My question is in earnest; it's not rhetorical.
> but my point is that code absolutely can and should clearly reflect many of the things you would also cover in documentation.

I absolutely agree, but my point was very specific about the "what should" and "why". At best, one could infer some intent from invariants, and hopefully the mapping between the invariants and the requirements document is pretty clear, but comments are still better at explicitly referencing requirements documentation and explaining why the chosen solution is preferable to alternatives.

Absolutely not.

> Firebug wasn't just prettier; it was much more usable

Venkman made some debatable decisions about UI defaults, as is the case with a lot of tools built by old school programmers trying to solve their own problems, but it was more customizable, flexible, and powerful (as is the case with a lot of tools built by old school programmers...). Aside from Firebug's template-based rich console, every feature implemented in Firebug's debug pane was implemented in Venkman, except Venkman gave you even more latitude and control. Firebug's debug pane was a basic UI over a subset of Venkman's APIs, after all, as previously mentioned. It was only many years later (much closer to Firebug's death than its birth) that Firebug got some improvements like showing a variable's value in the source window while stopped at a breakpoint without having to type it into the console (or set a watch on it, or look at its activation record entry). Venkman never had that, but it pales in comparison to all the things that Venkman could do that Firebug did not.

Firebug made its own share of dumb decisions, and the degree of dumb in those instances was higher.

> [Firebug] focused on actual website code

I'm not sure how it could be "focused on actual website code". Venkman was a straightforward JS debugger. (The only way this could possibly make sense is if you're referring to all the stuff baked into Firebug outside it's debug pane—style sheets, live view of document nodes, cookies, and so on; all things outside the purview of a language debugger—in which case it becomes an apples and oranges comparison. It would make more sense to criticize DOM Inspector for any of those things than Venkman. And once again—there were plenty of dumb decisions by Firebug in that comparison is concerned.)
This seems like it's constrained to produce a trivial amount of energy. There is no way it's a practical source of power to reduce carbon emissions. Let's say we drop an 80kg person onto this floor and they deform it half a centimeter. That's 9.80 N/kg * 80 kg * .5 cm = 3.92 joules. A AA battery has 14,000 joules in it, which means you'd have to do that 3,571 times generate the equivalent energy.

The paper's abstract gives 0.87 volts * 13.3 nA =
1.15E-8 joules per second. That's not exactly going to make a dent in our power grid.

One paper I found [2] says you could get about 5J per step from walking on level ground, but that's still the same order of magnitude as my initial estimate and nowhere near a practical power generation technology.

Mleonhard's is a very important post, right here. If adopted widely enough, I could easily see this becoming a somewhat decentralized corporate version of the government credit score system seen in China. Get publically punished with a low score for speaking up about wanting better conditions. Do extra overtime and attend corporate events with extra enthusiasm? Rewarded with a pittance of points instead of money. Maybe you'll become rich one day if you have a good score, but more realistically, you gain a minor buffer to keep you from hitting unemployability. We already have to deal with enough of this in meatspace without the the entire federated corporatocracy having access to a free panopticon so they know they know exactly how much to exploitatively nickle-and-dime you on your next opportunity.

Further, ERCOT is not the grid either. ERCOT is the grid operator. The Texas Interconnection is the grid.

ERCOT is not responsible for power generation or for natural gas availability. The PUC is broadly responsible regulating power generation (not withstanding the responsibility of the companies actually operating power generation plants). The Texas Railroad Commission is broadly responsible for natural gas pipelines (again, not withstanding the responsibility of the natural gas extraction companies).

ERCOT is the entity that told many power distributors to shed load (including the one that feeds my house). So many people have gotten mad at ERCOT. I'm sure it's fine to be mad at ERCOT, but it's kind of like getting mad at the manager of a grocery store who tells you they're out of food. They may not have done all they could to keep the place stocked, but they can't magically make trucks with food appear.
I can't help but attempt to apply Kant's categorical imperative to this approach. Is this something I would wish as a universal rule?

What about folks who have really bad luck and participate in organizations that are a bad fit for their personality? Their score immediately goes down, and then the odds of them finding a better fit plummet. There is no "fresh start," so to speak.

If everybody used this system to make a judgment about whether a person is worthy, it feels like we would immediately create a permanent caste system. There would be social outcasts that would only work with other outcasts, because, frankly who else would want to? They are, in a word, untouchable.

So, for me, it appears this system is unethical to the extreme.

Happy to be proved wrong, of course!

It is unprofessional and bad business to deliberately sell your customers insecure code, and you should not expect anyone to support you in doing so. Jason would have veen within his rights to warn Netgate's customers about security holes in pfSense - but he didn't even do that, he made a comment on his own project's mailing list, intentionally not naming the company, about what he was doing and why, which is entirely within the realm of "professional."

(And there is, of course, the question of whether Netgate is in any way "professional" by building on top of an open project and not following its norms.)
