Do you mean "capitalism" as in the dogmatic belief an unregulated market will somehow manage human needs to their benefit?

Yeah, I think that's an extremely ignorant and outdated ideology. Which is evidently progressing towards human extinction.

Optimizing towards the metric of monetary reward/economic growth is just horribly disconnected from human welfare.

There is also the fallacy of assuming all things interchangeable for market dynamics when in reality some things running out means "down-regulating demand" by killing off most of the population, e.g. phosphate rock.

Capitalism isn't set up to get us two cookies later. There is just no incentive for the market to give a fuck about humans. It's like the "stamp making AI" thought experiment. Or the attention optimizing algorithms mindlessly destroying political culture. Oversimplified metrics spiralling out of control.

Tho, economists have realized this and most markets are recognized to fail without regulation for their inherent nature. E.g. housing, water, electricity, education, ...

This highly depends on the software you use and how you generate PostScript files. To program with PostScript, and to display and print PostScript documents, I highly recommend Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter:

https://www.ghostscript.com/

It is available on several platforms and can show the graphical output using windowing systems such as X11. Please see the project's documentation for more information, and consider filing an issue if it behaves in unexpected ways.

The IRC channel #ghostscript on Freenode, and the newsgroup comp.lang.postscript are also good resources to learn more about PostScript and to ask questions.

One interesting fact about PostScript fonts is that fonts are encoded in the same language as entire documents! This shows how versatile and general PostScript is. Here is more information about PostScript fonts:

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

PostScript defines a set of fonts that must be supported by conforming interpreters, the so called Core Font Set:

The interesting problems in a price cap system are about allocation. You’ve torn down one way of deciding who gets the house next. What do you replace it with?

Do the neighbors vote on their next neighbor? The city council? An impersonal bureaucracy? What factors does it consider? Are there priority quotas for people meeting certain criteria? What criteria? How many people? Who decides? Who decides if an individual meets the criteria? How do we keep them honest? Can their decisions be appealed, can normal people afford to appeal them?

I don’t think it’s impossible to come up with good answers here, but that’s the work. The mechanism design here is extremely important, and it’s not “simple.”

> A price signal to the market to build more housing

And, as basic economics will tell you, sending such a signal to a market is a windfall for people that already own the underlying asset in that market--i.e., landlords. They get a windfall because they bought the asset when the market undervalued it (because the price signal was not being sent).
Being in the middle of each spectrum is perhaps a good thing.

Being in the extrema (e.g.: being overconfident all the time, being anxious all the time) is bad.

Carbon3d is an under-appreciated tech. Their materials are incredible. A few years ago, we successfully used their elastomeric polyurethane to build a soft robotics gripper ([1], [2]) and we've got an impressive durability rating of 500K cycles (basically, months of continuous grasping).

While our prototype never got into a production, it was very clear that Carbon3d has a uniquely strong proposition because of their materials.

My suspicion is that WUSB died because it used UWB which was/is very difficult to hack. The signal looks like random noise distributed across a wide spectrum and if you don't know the secret key it's hard to tell if there is even a signal there. If WUSB had made UWB widely available and cheap it seems likely it could have been hacked to create cheap very secure point-to-point wireless links for anyone and everyone. UWB has been around for a decade or so, but there are still few commercial products and the ones that do appear tend to later disappear into the military world (e.g., Aetherwire). The one exception is UWB tracking tags, which Samsung just introduced and Apple is about to introduce (and there are several other companies making them like Nanotron). Precision location has some great applications but also some scary ones. Non-interceptable secure short-range data links may soon follow if the tags/phones turn out to be hackable. It will be interesting to see how this current foray into UWB goes.

On a more serious note: is it just me or is this really just a new tulip wave? I get that crypto is seemingly here to stay...but NFTs? can't someone re-mint something on the blockchain and claim it is the real one? For example, if I were to re-mint Dorsey's first tweet...do people know enough to look out for scams like that? Granted, I bet Dorsey would have to endorse it to get widespread appreciation, but then again fools are fooled by fools gold.
That explains how it is disproportionate but not how the mechanism treats them unequally. Redlining for instance made minorities far less likely to obtain loans and thus kept otherwise qualified people from building equity.

Also distribution as unequal could be taken like taxes and a negative allocated to the unfortunate instead of the results forming the distribution.
If all you want is some evidence that it is considered normal in British English, then for example Fowler's under 'collective nouns' on page 162 of the current edition which says exactly that:

> In British English it is in order to use either a plural verb or a singular verb after most collective nouns, so long as attendant pronouns are made to follow suit.

And then it follows on with examples from British literature in the wild such as news reports on how 'MI5 were living in the past'.

Or for example this BBC article

I was. I wasn’t interested in other people experimenting with it. I selected the approach I was most comfortable with though.
That doesn't make sense. You only need to tax the appreciation of the land value via land value taxes. Building housing and renting them out is economically productive, we want more of that but property taxes are paid on the productive part. This makes land value appreciation a far more reliable way of earning money even though you are doing absolutely nothing that is economically productive.

You’re not contradicting my point, you’re just using the word “image” to refer to a different concept than I did. That “100x100 pictures of the real world” won’t reflect all the 10,000 dimensions available in “a 100x100 bitmap” is certainly the case—and that is what is meant by saying they lie on a lower-dimensional manifold within that space.

Similarly: yes, physics limits neuronal connectivity. The actual space of neuronal connections lies on a manifold inside the full “n squared, divided by 2” dimensions of connectivity of any old set of n points. That still doesn’t mean neurons can’t represent high-dimensional concepts, because your treatment of physical dimensions as the same thing as concept space is still mistaken. Taking your 1000 synapses number for granted, the input to a given neuron would be 1000-dimensional, not three. If you’re not arguing the concept space is 3d, and merely arguing against those who’d say neuronal connectivity isn’t limited by physical constraints, then I’d advise a reread of the ancestor comments; none of them are saying that.

Yeah. I suppose without Linus's leadership Linux just wouldn't be the same project anymore. The world has come to trust him because he makes good decisions. We depend on his core values such as "don't break userspace". I wonder what it's gonna be like in the future...

> They break API's because... someone felt like it?

I empathize with them. Designing software is essentially philosophy. The interfaces reflect the developer's current understanding of the world. When this understanding improves, people are tempted to update software because they feel like the software is wrong and unelegant when it doesn't match what's in their minds.

It takes a really good engineer to reject this impulse and take responsibility for interfaces people came up with in the 90s.
It's wild to me that people think there was some big anti-Trump effort with Covid news -- there were 3,300 people per day dying of the disease in January, now there are 1/4th - 1/5th as many. Maybe, just maybe, that's why the news has changed focus?

The whole point of Bansky is that it is ephemeral and performance art. Sure, Bansky has a famous brand but if someone decides to throw paint on top of the Banksy then it honors his art better than literally auctioning or cleaning the actions of others on the art. When the painting he made shredded itself and after being auctioned for $1.4 million it was still the same price [1]. But, others who owned Banksy's did the same and they obviously lost value because they didn't get the point and that was Banksy's intention.

The problem is that it isn't much better (if at all) in its current implementation. The current implementation allows tracking and identifying individual users (this may be or may not be fixed by Google, it has already been reported to their Github issue tracker). Since it is entirely based on your browsing patterns you can also be tracked cross device (people's browsing patterns rarely change).

For the moment 3p cookies are better, they can easily be erased, blocked or even isolated, and are restricted to a single browser.

> However, it isn't. The crash rate with Autopilot off (but with other safety features on) is about 4x better than the national average. And with all safety features turned off, it's still 2x better.

You still can't figure that out from Tesla's stats. It'd have to be "compared to the same roads in the same conditions". Tesla only knows where its vehicles have been driven, not every vehicle on the road. Let's be honest, this stat is just marketing.
Don't be fooled by cheap USB multimeters
Sure, but you could add that protocol to wired USB if you wanted.

Actually, I think the killer app in 2009 would have been a WUSB ethernet dongle: ~250Mbps internet for a laptop within a single room. That might have been compelling when 802.11g gave you around 25-30 Mbps in practice and roaming between APs worked less well than today.
Missing the point.

The null hypothesis determines the "unfounded claim". For example, judicially, the null hypothesis is, "You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." Similarly, commercially, the null hypothesis is, "If it's profitable and mostly legal, corporations will compete to do it better."

Fingerprinting is both profitable and legal. It is so profitable and so legal that today's most dominant corporations, entities representing trillions of dollars of value, are founded on its premise.

The "unfounded claim", therefore, is yours. Or do you have any evidence that you are not being surveilled?

Protected secrets has always seemed like such a rough barrier. No fine tuning at all (e.g. if you have stage and prod creds that you want to be kept separate, but both "protected"... No good way to do that from my POV).
> This is really not good safety culture. I'm sure it's not the same experience when a pilot practices emergency procedures in a simulator vs in a real emergency, but it's still helpful.

If this is really a priority, then make it a priority. Start paying firefighters like cops are paid, and fund the fire department like the police department is funded.

In many places, fire departments are entirely voluntary while police departments are funded to the tune of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars each year.

In several places I've lived, the only way fire departments would get that training is if someone donated a bunch of EV batteries to be destroyed by them.

We also don't really have a well functioning democracy, in my opinion, due to the capture of the government by private corporations. But what we do have is still a democracy, and it is absolutely lightyears above and beyond the genocidal, anti-liberty government of China.

That's not ignoring. If any results exist with the full quote, then it will only show you results with the full quote.

Also google does the same thing all the time.

Also I just tried to get that behavior on duck duck go and it didn't do it. For my test quote, with three words that appear together on many pages but never adjacent, it just said no results found.

But if it works like google, it will tell you at the top of the page when there were no real results and it's serving fallback results. Look for that message instead of looking for a lack of results.
The real root cause is that everyone wants to live (for obvious reasons) in places where housing supply is constrained like SF, LA, or NYC. Home ownership is easy in places like Detroit or Oklahoma boonies, but unsurprisingly no one wants to go there.

Instead of cramming more people onto the same set of square mikes, how about we develop more (non coastal) places for people to aspire moving to instead?
