There is some slow movement in that direction, but there is a lot of opaqueness that has to be worked through and have public scrutiny turned it's way.

At the end of the day though, no matter how you slice the pie of dollars, the motivation of a majority of the market is to make more money. Not to solve problems one and done. Always remember, healthcare is an industry first and foremost; cures aren't good business. Just look at what Wall Street has to say on the matter.

So Market mechanisms don't really work unless you structure things correctly; which includes building a prize pool to pull from for each actor to further the state of the art. Try doing that in the U.S. and people will get all bent though because all that capital ends up locked away instead of lining everyone's pockets..
Honestly, I don't get this debate.

If you were to take the pain points of debug by print, and address them, you'd come up with a debugger. Being able to put those "print" statements anywhere without recompiling, being able to go step-by-step in the code, etc. And sure, that's not always available.

Both end up having impacts on the thing they observe. A print() call can cause microscopic delays that are enough to cause a race condition not to trigger, as can waiting on a breakpoint, etc. If you compile with debug symbols, that can cause some bugs not to surface, as they are only visible when you compile with -O3 or whatnot (eg. a bug involving reading unallocated memory).

Both are just tools. Sometimes one is better in a given situation. Sometimes the other is. I just don't get how this is like an emacs vs vim thing.
Jokingly meant that instead of reducing useless CPU overhead from adtech/inefficient scripts, we're building yet another layer of waste on top.
Well people on HN worship PDF, thinking it's necessary for printing and you can't print HTML—so it seems not only the author forgot about CSS for printing.

Anything with a pretense of research gets published in PDF even on sites having nothing to do with academic publishing—while the content is two columns of text and intermittent meh-quality illustrations. Such need for PDF, wow. The explanation given is that people may want to read that from paper, but I asked my friends in actual academia, and they say everyone reads from screen anyway. Well I guess everyone in ‘research’ either has 14" tablets or is able to read 5-point text all day, otherwise they'd all have crippling RSI from scrolling.
While Fed policy and interest rate cuts certainly gave fuel to the fire, there's also just plain old supply & demand that is causing asset prices to rise.

Houses? Turns out when you force people to stay home all day they suddenly decide apartment living sucks (more demand). It also turns out, people are resistant to the idea of having strangers tour their home during a pandemic (restricted supply).

Stocks? Crypto? Turns out when you give people lots of money with no strings attached and then remove their favorite options for spending it (restaurants, travel, entertainment), they will invest or gamble it instead.

Collectibles? Turns out, in scary times, bored people with money will start returning to childhood comforts like trading cards and nostalgia.

Etc. Etc.

This idea that the Federal Reserve is some all-powerful puppet master is a little overblown. Interest rates are insanely influential, but they pale in comparison to the forces created by the whims of the crowd.
I too found the "corrupt officials" hard to believe, but there's a surprising amount of evidence for it. In general the Russian government has a surprisingly middling level of control over society compared to somewhere like China. Other Russian news orgs also buy personal data, try looking at Meduza for example.
This is an understated truth about most iconic notations let alone anything instrumented into a CASE tool. That is that the Agile movement introduced a meanness and immediate gratification factor into the very idea that modeling software was useful or necessary. Concepts as simple as an input arrow going into a process would enter from the left of a circle or box and the output would exit from the right were the object of debate and ridicule.

Why bother? Skippy, the agile programmer, had already coded something up that happened to feature the end-users favorite color.

Eye candy always trumps rigor and deliberate modeling of components.

Formal notations didn't stand a chance.

The audience is laughing because this notion is ridiculous.
I'm curious what this implementation chose to remove ('strips out huge swaths of unnecessary complexity').
That's literally exactly the problem when experts mislead the public. Particularly if it was intentional to save mask supplies or prevent other stupid behavior, that completely erodes trust and it becomes a game of "what is the expert actually trying to say" when future statements are made.

If it was a mistake due to incomplete information, then it happens, but discussion about what went wrong should be encouraged and there should be transparency (perhaps at a later date) about what could be done differently in the future. Experts are going to be right more often than laypeople, but they are still sometimes wrong, and if that can't be acknowledged it's a systemic problem.

Ironically, blasting the US for pausing the J&J vaccine was highly upvoted on HN, even though that was also expert decision making, and it was actually in the midst of the issue without the benefit of hindsight. I wonder why the topic of early pandemic mask messaging seems to attract downvotes on HN.
ARM also has some decades of cruft attached to it.
Just because something didn't work in USA doesn't mean it "didn't pan out". Contact tracing has been used to track down contacts very rapidly in my country and presumably several others.
As long as you don't have to deal with IE11, cross-browser support is much better, partially due to fast release cycles. No point including a whole library if all you want to do is detect whether JS is enabled.

Edit: To be clear, Modernizr isn't a big library like jQuery and you can specify the thing you want to detect, so you can cut it down, but it's still pointless if you just want to know if JS is enabled or not.
Alternatively, it can mean that customers don't have any other better options. Take work chat for instance, in which all of the available options are heavyweight web/electron apps. In fact for that category specifically it's a common gripe that all the options are bad and one has to select based on which is the least-bad for their particular situation.
Not everyone has a 100 mb connection, I'd say it's in the minority. I live in a suburban community within five miles of a top 100 university and I've been trying to get a fiber connection for fifteen years. Two fiber bundles run within fifty yards yet I cannot access them.

What? GP's response is terse but not impolite, and explaining what an abbreviation means is a far cry from "smacking people with tribal knowledge", it's just table stakes explanation in a field which requires precision.

The only reason modern computing got where it is today is by standing on the shoulders of giants. If we go back and re-litigate every naming decision of the past several decades just to make newcomers feel welcome, all progress will slow as we collectively devolve into continuous bikeshedding.
Chainsaws. Also a Bobcat with a hydraulic heavy duty bush hog, some of those shred wood up to a few inches thick... High maintenance, the forest fights back.
I've run the numbers, and unless the PVs are putting out above approximately 4KW, it's cheapest to take my shower before 8AM. Thankfully I live where it's sunny almost all the time and I often get 6KW between 1100 and 1300, but in the Winter and cloudy days, it's best to get that shower in early.
A friend of mine has had mental issues. He called a Psychiatrist. The guy said he needed a referral from a Psychologist.

My friend a few grand on pretty useless talk meetings, but got his referral.

Gets his coveted time slot with the doctor. The doctor tells him today's fee is $450.00. Then $200 per month if I write a script.

The guy knew he was short on funds. My friend paid, and walked away. I didn't give him advice other than thing will get better.

My 2016 MacBook Pro has been an absolute pleasure to use. It's small, light, great battery life, plenty of performance, I consider it the second incarnation of my favorite laptop ever, the Titanium PowerBook G4.

Except for the keyboard. Been replaced three times. It's defective by design. Such a letdown.
If you need airport or airspace data, openaip seems to be decent: http://www.openaip.net/

For some reason they make you register in order to download the data, and the site is a bit confusing, but the data seems good.
It's also straight-up illegal to operate any sort of vehicle in US wilderness areas (horses are OK). I think they also ban gas motors and maybe even things like electric chainsaws.
I read the entire thread, but (admittedly as an outsider), I did not understand what exactly was wrong in Rust governance. Is there more context required to understand what is going on?

My old 2013 is still a charming little machine. I made my GF "upgrade" to it from a random ~2017 HP plasticbook and she loves the thing. 4 GB of RAM can still fly if you only run native apps.
I know that but I'm just baffled that the text of the standard could be released at a point in time when nobody has succeeded at implementing it fully. That seems like it would almost guarantee that no one implements the standard as it's written, as there is no proof-of-concept that it's truly viable... I'd expect to see several revisions to this before C++23 as the compilers work out the issues.
Is it from the Orwell book? Edit: there's a relevant quote by N.Chomsky about mysterious commitees (taken from wikipedia): "So I think when we talked about the "fifth filter" we should have brought in all this stuff -- the way artificial fears are created with a dual purpose... partly to get rid of people you don't like but partly to frighten the rest. Because if people are frightened, they will accept authority."

Same here. I want a replacement for my 27in iMac and would have held my nose at the slightly smaller screen, but really want more memory than 16GiB (docker, etc...).

So Apple will just have to wait to get my money until fall (or whenever they announce the successor to the 27in iMac).

Ditching Android is not a good solution - see the application support problem on Linux for why. What we need is a serious and well-funded Android "distro" that lifts Google's dumb restrictions and reimplements Google's proprietary APIs for compatibility. MicroG is doing very well on that second part, but due to lack of funding still has far too many holes.
Adoption was by far the biggest problem. If Apple/Google just shipped it in the OS and made it opt out, I bet it would have had a significant impact. Not like turning the US into Australia, but even a 10% reduction in covid cases worldwide could have saved 300k lives.
The algorithms, yes (see e.g. wav2letter and others), but not the training data. Mozilla's Common Voice (https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en) is trying to make training data available, but proprietary systems can use that as well as the existing data advantage they have.
The customer is paying whether or not they use a credit card.

However actual businesses have overhead for dealing with physical cash as well. It is slower at the teller, needs to be manually counted and recounted, transported (sometimes with security) and so on. It is not clear whether real costs of handling money are greater or less than merchant fees.
> Not sure why the the self closing tags became widely used

For a while adhering to the open/close conventions helped use tooling / libraries built around the assumptions for XML in dealing with HTML, maybe up through the late 00s/early 10s.

Any utility gains there faded as HTML5 conventions and libraries became more solid, but I still have a bit of the habit, especially with <img/> & <br/>.

This is way beyond my knowledge but I found an interesting article about the constitutionality of a US law regulating firearms in schools. It’s not entirely relevant to this subject but it helped me understand a bit more of the how/why of these sorts of decisions.

> You know how to get out of a Model 3 if the electric system dies? Of course you don’t, because you can’t. Opening the doors on a depowered Tesla ranges from comically obscure to literally impossible depending on the model. A common reason to depower? A battery fire.

Wow! I have no idea if that is accurate, but if it is, it's very scary.
My guess: Sending email to a lot of recipients when you're not a large email provider can end up with you getting throttled / needing to apply throttling to individual servers to prevent blocking.

In the past when I still operated my own email servers I often saw list emails minutes before on e.g. gmail.

I don't think this is suspicious at all. Jan 6 was followed by a huge ban wave, even more people on the political fringe migrating to the so-called "alt-tech" (a term which is not just coincidentally similar to the "alt-right") and sites that do not really have clear stances or have been resistant to prioritize anti-harassment features and policies (for instance, Basecamp and Substack)
For three years when I lived in San Diego I drove to Vegas at least once a month (it's where I have family).

Millions of cars on the road happen for a reason. Just because you rarely go on such trips doesn't mean for some they aren't more frequent for others. Heck just to go to my favorite German restaurant or go for my favorite crab cakes that could be a 300 mile round trip. I would do either without a second thought with my current cars and until EVs can get to the same level of comfort for people they will remain a niche vehicle.

That's the practical reality. You can hop up and down with your arguments around moral superiority and god help any idiot who tries to force change via legislation. Want to see a real revolution real fast? Just poke that bear.

Cars = freedom. Freedom of movement, freedom of expression, economic freedom (choice of jobs, supplies, living location, etc.). EV proponents can acknowledge this and work to rationally solve the issues (with transitional tech like range extenders), or continue to insist everyone else is doing it wrong and remain a niche.

Until most of the fervor around EVs graduates from cult status to being at least a touch pragmatic there won't be significant change. Screaming louder about how the environment is being ravaged (right or wrong) isn't going to move the needle either. You convince people by solving their problems, meeting their needs and doing so in a rational manner.

It really isn't that hard - until you roll up your sleeves and really start to work through things. Until we all are willing to do that it's just wish casting.
For the first link: here, you're either not actually reading or being blatantly dishonest. Either way, shame on you, and I'm not going to respond to anything else you write after this message. Feel free to reply to get the last word in. I'm not taking the sentence out of context, "Keyloggers are a type of monitoring software designed to record keystrokes made by a user." is the whole damn definition. The rest of what follows is what that definition actually means, and impressive how you then conveniently leave the "However, they also have legitimate uses within businesses to troubleshoot, improve user experience, or monitor employees. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies also uses keylogging for surveillance purposes." out of it.

For the rest, nobody, not myself, nor anyone else here, has suggested that keyloggers are not primarily used maliciously. Of course they are, we all know that. The whole question is whether it's possible for non-malicious keyloggers to also exist, or rephrased, whether the definition of keylogger inherently excludes anything non-malicious. You're only looking at what they refer to using that term, which will be almost exclusively malware, but that's not the point, you're not looking at how they're defining the term.
I imagine for semi-criminal actors, injecting code or "accidentally" using systen data, are still two different scenarios. I mean, state actors could also just follow you around, or place agents as friends and family... so why bother about anything?

Never take ebay listings as a guide. Always look at past sales instead. The reason is you get a lot of chancers on ebay listing items at inflated prices on Buy It Now with the hope that someone rich enough and desperate enough will happily pay the higher cost. But more often than not, the higher Buy It Now listings time out and get re-listed over and over again.

The real market value of games is seen in the auctions and Facebook retro groups (literally the only reason I have a Facebook account is for collecting retro computer parts and games. If you find the right group you can get some pretty good deals).
I would prefer a solution that had revocable consent and a record of it that was transferred to all the data brokers. The only prohibition on rewards being that the reward cant be on nullifying the revocable nature of the consent.

In this model the data brokers can be sanctioned for using data they are no longer allowed to use.

Even more presumptuous. What are you supposed to do on the other end of that plane flight to get around? Rent a car? Bum off of friends/family?

I once thought it would be cost effective to buy an EV and just rent when I needed to take longer trips - until I did the math. Rental cars get very expensive very quickly!
The Official Aviation Guide became OAG who will have what you need in digital form but at steep commercial rates, as will their competitor Innovata (Cirium)

The actual seats bit is surprisingly complex if you want accurate figures, as the same aircraft type can have wildly different numbers of seats depending on layout and class configuration. OAG/Innovata's standard schedule product has the aircraft variant normally assigned to a route shown, and they survey the airlines on the seating configurations of their aircraft calculate capacity and ASKS. I believe Cirium now cross reference this with flight tracking data to get data based on the actual aircraft used (which solves edge cases like substitutions or an airline operating aircraft with differently configured A330-200s on different routes) - doing that was part of the masterplan when I worked for them before they acquired Flightstats.
Here's the thing: Use the best tool for the job. Work smarter, not harder. I'm debugging something right now. I can use the rapid compile time of golang to do things like: change the binary format, so that I can trace what part of the buffer was written by which function invocation. I can also write very sophisticated conditional debugging that would be iffy on most debuggers, where the machine sifts through the possibilities for me. That "one weird trick" has earned me a reputation as a magic debugger multiple times.

Sometimes, it's best to use a printf and spot the thing in the console, or to see what's going on with the data to gain a better understanding.

Sometimes it's best to debug something to rapidly see a complex interaction firsthand.

It's always good to be smart about using multiple tools creatively.
> ... Cisco and Juniper ... add fixed costs to any competitor.

Brilliant observation that -- recalled for me reading long ago in a business journal that industrial giants sometimes offer no objection to heavier government regulation, because the relative disadvantage to smaller competitors can make it a net win for themselves.

AWS's own offerings such as RDS and internal control plane stuff are very likely using ARM behind the sheets.

I have evaluated going ARM, but I ended up deciding the savings were not worth it.

Not only you need to mantain 2 archs simultaneously for some time, but porting some stuff to ARM, (e.g. Python) can be a pain in the ass.

No, in March last year doctors were prematurely jumping to ventilators because of a confusing hypoxia-like symptom: blood oxygen levels dropping into "you should already be dead" levels. Ventilator use dropped off once this stopped and they switched to other treatments for the less serious cases.
