True, but by the same logic, how much each of us pays for ad funded services depends on how much each of us can spend. I.e. wealthy people pay more per Google search than poor people.

And there's another issue. Even if all online services switched to a subscription model tomorrow, companies would not suddenly stop spending money on promoting their products. They would just do it differently and we would pay twice.

If there was liquid with vapor benign in your use case, you could substitute that. Also, since you're doing compression, you would have less water vapor than with something like a water aspirator (vacuum ejector, or Venturi effect vacuum pump.)

I'll bring an example for the sake of comparison. In Italy the path to becoming a physician involves a six year degree focused entirely on medicine (so not a bachelor), followed by a specialized degree of variable length (4-6 years depending on the chosen specialty) during which you practice in a hospital and study for exams at the same time, mostly the former. Entrance exams are required at both levels and acceptance rates are very low. Also, many students end up needing 1-2 extra years to complete it all.
>If you are a hobbyist like me, who just wants to keep up to date with how technology is evolving and what things like vector processing is, then safe yourself a lot of trouble and just read a RISC-V book.

Yes, I'd absolutely agree. If you're a professional you'll probably find the hundreds of ARM instructions useful for optimizing your kernels if you're hand-crafting assembly but you'll be pretty far up the learning curve before you get to the crossover point. And not just for hobbyists but also for most academics working on exploring vectorization as well.

But if it's me just making use of the effort someone else has put into BLAS for my robot then I'll probably be better off with an SVE processor both from a code optimization scope standpoint and an ease of hardware implementation standpoint.

It's been quite a while since I read the article blaming people for sitting on the bench. Here is a kind of similar style article I came across that tries to blame people on a sidewalk for getting hurt: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/07/04/toronto_car_cras...

Notice how half of the article is dedicated towards blaming people for entering crosswalks when they have right of way, just because a signal is changing?

Here's the kicker: the 10 (!!) people injured were on the freaking sidewalk! Why is this diatribe of blaming people for entering a crosswalk even in the article??

This isn't just urban legend or anti-motorist propaganda (really? come on). There are quite a few studies out there that look in to this and it's a real phenomenon. I don't have time right now to dig out individual studies to link, but they're fairly easy to find.
People on the whole don’t care at all. We’re talking 1% at best.
I just realized Physician Assistants (PAs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) have been forgotten in this equation.

126,000 practicing PAs [0]

325,000 licensed NPs [1]

985,000 practicing physicians (MDs and DOs) [2]

I know that nurse practitioners are not under the same artificial residency constraints of MDs/DOs. I'm not sure about physician assistants.

For someone not in the U.S., NPs and PAs often do the same role as general practitioners/family doctors e.g. see patients, prescribe medicine, etc. They can also specialize.

>The whole point of running inside another ecosystem is to reuse existing solutions

Ya totally, but I think OP was hinting at a fundamental tension between this benefit of interop and the desire to be functional where Java is (generally) not. Clojure lets you reuse the wonderfully huge library of Java solutions -- but those solutions are (generally) not written with immutability in mind, which I could see becoming an issue when you're trying to write a concurrent app. I suspect that's what the java.lang.Object reference was about, although obviously I'm not sure.

>Many wrappers hide mutability and provide an immutable API. And more java libraries are being written with immutable classes.

All that sounds encouraging....

> Point being it really seems like people have decided/agreed that they prefer the ad model to anything else.

I'm not sure how you mean this but what you say comes dangerously close to implying that people want ads. That may be true if you force them into a false dichotomy (pay or have ads).

I think it's more just that people don't want to pay. If it's on the web, they read it for free, period. If it's not on the web, then it isn't and they don't read it. If you look at it from this perspective, ads aren't even part of the discussion. I think people prefer the "someone pays for it" model to anything else.

The dichotomy is only real if you construct a hypothetical scenario about some ad-or-paywall site that absolutely must exist and that people absolutely want to read and for which no alternative can emerge if that site stops existing.
There's also the fact that Comcast isn't a tier 1 ISP. The only netflix traffic going across their network is traffic specifically requested by Comcast customers. It's not like Netflix (even indirectly through their ISP) is somehow using Comcast's network for non Comcast uses.

Most of the peering talk was leaving that part out, trying to pretend that Netflix was using Comcast's network to reach third parties like is the model being addressed by peering agreements between tier 1 ISPs.

> As I have tried to show, modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer.

Yeah, I mean, I know I'm asking for a lot. No other language comes close to rust as far as C interop, except C++.

And rust is actually better at C interop than C++ in some important ways!

* Rust doesn't mess with struct definitions if they are declared #[repr(C)]. No extra vtable pointers. That means you can pass a struct back and forth between C and rust, and in the rust code you can do dynamic dispatch on that same C struct (no copying/conversion). That's amazing!

* Rust defines Option<&Foo> in a #[repr(C)] struct to be a plain pointer, where NULL means None. That means you can get type safety in rust working with nullable pointers you get from C, to make sure that your rust code checks for None. Again, no conversion or copying, you get this with ordinary nullable pointers coming from C.
Yeah it is definitely something in the water that's awful, the smell is especially pronounced close to it.
Are there really sequencers the size of a USB stick? A google search didn't show any, could you point me to a source?
Other images show the "sphericals" as being hollow and easily crushed by the treads, and having stalks, and growing together. The "growth" photos which could be possibly explained in isolation by wind exposing round pebbles on previously existing stones doesn't explain the appearance of additional sphericals in the 3 sol period of the same size as the ones being "revealed". If it was just that photo sequence I could understand that argument but the rest of the evidence really pushes towards organic growth as the most likely scenario.
The collection is per se harmful as long as warrants exist.

Beyond that, it's an open secret (as in: it's been mentioned several times in available documents, but never deliberately disclosed or extensively discussed publicly, so far as I know) that since at least the mid or late 00s the US government has had contracts with multiple major tech companies that have a high level of access to citizen Internet traffic to basically search their databases of Internet activity at will. Which companies these are, I'm not sure—I suspect it's mostly telcos, personally—but it's another reason the existence of these datasets is inherently dangerous, and that they should not be permitted to exist at all, no matter who holds them.

Non-profit doesn't mean that people aren't making money from it, it just means that the excess funds aren't used to drive stock growth and the organization "doesn't exist for the purpose of making money", but if the Administrators in the hospital find a way to slash the budget by $5 million there's nothing saying they can't then give themselves a raise for doing such a good job.

Wow, some convincing photographs in that pdf.

As of this moment I'm operating under the impression Mars is teeming with shrooms.

The orbital photographs did't make much impact, since at that scale you can convince yourself all sorts of atmospheric and geological activity resembles life.

But the rover photographs comparing to puffballs and clearly showing stems in some cases, very convincing.

Edit: elsewhere in the comments it was pointed out that stems could easily be explained by blown away dust/sand after formation, without involving biological processes. Which is a very good point.

It's still fun to imagine a Mars covered in mushrooms however.

My son bought me an original Game Boy with Tetris for Christmas for its sentimental value. Turned out to be a real challenge.

If you're used to the current versions, going back in time is crazy hard! No hold pieces, a single preview, the pieces lock-in as soon as they touch, and the randomness is truly random. I was astounded by how hard these small changes make the game. I had totally forgotten!

While I generally agree with you and wouldn't circumcise any child, data seems to support that circumcision reduces transmission of some STIs

> Three randomized clinical trials showed that adult male circumcision significantly reduced the risk for HIV
acquisition among heterosexual males by 51%–60% (95% confidence interval 16%–76%) over time. These trials also found that medically performed adult circumcision significantly reduced the risk of men acquiring two common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including genital ulcer disease (GUD) prevalence by 47% and incidence by 48% and high-risk (i.e. oncogenic) types of human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) prevalence by 23%–47%.

It also seems to reduce the risk of UTIs

> Male circumcision has been shown to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections inmales aged 0–1 years by 90%, in males aged 1–16 years by 85%, and in males >16 years by 71%.

We're not talking about optical artifacts. The aircraft had radar and it also had access to data from radars installed on the surface ships.

IFF in aerial combat has been a solved problem almost since World War II.
Yes it is an extraordinary claim. All prior evidence shows that life is nonexistent on all planets that are not Earth. So to suggest that the planet closest to us has life is far out side the norms of our current beliefs about how frequently life appears.

Cooperative AI: machines must learn to find common ground
Obviously not the parent commenter, but I’ll give this a shot. I think that Jon and Casey’s (and those of like mind) are not commenting on Mighty as a piece of individual tech, but commenting on the fact that Mighty as a product could even be in a position to exist.

I am most likely to phrase the general position (which I think Jon and Casey would support) put forth as follows: the problem a service like Mighty is trying to solve ONLY exists because the standards and practices of modern software development is fundamentally broken.

You even touch on this in your GP post about devs taking the shortcuts to ‘making something cool’. As the parent post calls it, the cool stuff tribe are those developers who will use available cheat code because they expect that doing so is acceptable.

Your GP post seems to try and counter the Jon and Casey position by saying that because developers just want to make things that they will and there is no concern for any impacts these accumulating decisions may have. I think the ‘you’re missing the point’ comment derives from here. You seem to be saying that Jon and Casey’s position is not palatable to devs because those devs are not concerned with performance and don’t like to be told to consider such aspects of the things they make. But, J&C’s point is that if the standards for developing software were not so broken then the position of the cheat code using devs would be uniformly decried as substandard and unacceptable. In a world where development standards were in line with J&C’s views Mighty would not be in a position to be a viable product because using the web via a native browser accessing properly developed web content would be a pain free and perform any experience.
I don't know why HN is so focused on consignment sales. They are a tiny portion of the retail market, because no store (even Walmart) has the leverage to force consignment terms on their suppliers except for the tiny portion consisting of new products that distributors are trying to get stores to start selling.

Also, Amazon does not give a per sale cut of the percentage, nor would they, since that's not how consignment works. Consignment goods are still sold at retail price; the only difference is that the supplier only gets paid for goods that sold. They don't get to share in the (additional) profits if the retailer (aka "Amazon.com")charges more due to spiking prices.
