> Even for people with inherited wealth, how many would still have any wealth if they weren't also successful at education and work?

As long as they have basic financial literacy around how to invest, education and work would both be unnecessary. It would be extremely easy to maintain their wealth.

> This is as far as I can tell an admittance that you are making comparisons over timescales that does not make any sense.

“Census data on race isn’t comparable over long time scale because of major methodological updates to data collection” => your statement is a huge logical leap.

> The supreme court ruling that ended school segregation in public education was in 1954. On the other hand the people classified as white as well as asian experience racial discrimination by DEI education and company initiatives right here right now.

And you are aware that school segregation did not, in fact, end in 1954, as I’m sure you read the article I posted on ruby bridges. It took decades to integrate schools, and in many ways they never were because of the way school district boundaries align with segregated housing.

DEI initiatives rarely advance strict racial quotas or thumb on the scale affirmative action policies. Indeed, the whole impetus for this discussion, basecamp, was an instance where people were bothered by specific behaviors they felt were discriminatory. As I’ve stated multiple times, I take no issue with you disagreeing with a specific set of policies pushed by DEI initiatives, but that is different from denying the existence of racial discrimination against BIPOC. The existence of policies that discriminate against one group does not preclude the existence of discrimination against another.

In theory an SSD failure should always be more recoverable: eventually they should be put into a read-only state, and then data can be pulled off easily.

In practice, it's a bit more nuanced since SSD failures aren't always the "we wrote too many cells, this block is now read only", and tend to be more potential other issues (driver malfunction, controller chip issue, power hardware, etc).

With an HDD failure, if the hard drive itself is damaged/end of life/whatever, the act of reading it can cause further damage, so in a graceful failure the SSD seems to win.

I'd suggest that the cost of data recovery on a HDD exceeds the practical limit for what most consumers would be able to stomach (since data recovery companies tend to charge thousands...) even for HDDs. Hence why redundancy/backups/RAID are important, I guess.

That's a global statistic. Some users are far more valuable. For example, users in Canada and the US generate more than that per quarter. You would pay double but if you are in the US that's not enough. Would you pay 5x that (or about what you pay for Netflix)?
I feel your pain, I wish it were cheaper to develop software, but sadly the costs to compete with Microsoft and Apple are great. GNOME and KDE and such are already giving you all the code basically for free, I don't know what else they could do to help you out there. Accepting all feature requests that come their way is not a solution, because that usually tends to increase development costs even more.

Or you can look at this and say that nothing more convincing was found to support this idea in a year so it isn't any more feasible explanation than it was a year ago when we didn't know anything about this virus and how easily it mutates to infect humans easier. And it mutates a lot, perfectly spontaneously.
A large chunk of the Netflix backend runs on the JVM. Much of it written in Java. While I agree that many devs avoid it like the plague, and I used to be one of them, once I let go of attachments to programming languages I found it quite a pleasant experience to develop software using Java.

Basically using Lombok and Vavr give you a very nice lightweight functional experience. Bells and whistles tend to be a distraction from making software that works and scales. I’d way rather focus on the hard problems in computing than how to most idiomatically or elegantly express things in a language.
I'm pretty sure that someone deep within Google is running the numbers that if they were to do this on Android what would be the hit to Google and the hit to FB and if it is worth to take that hit if it hurts their competitor, FB, more.

I would be very surprised if Google is not looking into to. Google has other avenues to collect data and deep tentacles so the hit to them may not be much, but FB might be hurt more. And, on the flip side, it may also buy Google some privacy goodwill.

That's pure bs. I think I'll blame the giant, powerful monopolists (either aspiring or actual). They have been using their clout to kill off organic discovery and trying to ensure stuff that isn't part of the surveillance system gets buried. This isn't a "guns don't kill people; people kill people situation", this is a "I don't like money but I want to eat, so I'll use money" situation - website developers can participate in the surveillance state or starve. That's not a practical choice.

I'm part of several specialized groups, so much so that Facebook ads are actually too broad for me. If you're a specialist you're definitely going on a specific board for it, with Facebook communities only good for general buy/sell hobbies.

Curiously, many (I don't know the percentage, only the stations I worked with in the past) local news broadcasts have additional segments during the time slots for commercial breaks. If the commercial isn't airing, it's a segment.

Same is true of national news. If the commercial doesn't run, there's other (semi-throwaway) content. Same is true for national news during the weather segment, local news can splice in a local weather and if they don't, it's national or regional weather.

Because of this, they should be able to sell the non-overlay version with content instead of ads. Sure it's throwaway content, but at least it's not yelling at you to buy things.
If you had ever worked at Amazon you would find it very difficult to believe what you do. Short term solutions aren’t part of the companies culture.

This is simply not true.

You can find instances of Terry from his homeless period (sad that this is even a sentence I can write) where he uses the same slur for random black people passing by, without the CIA affiliation. There are also a lot of instances where that slur is used in the context of calling something dumb or a bad idea.

I do not blame Terry, he was obviously extremely unwell. However it's pretty bold to claim that there wasn't a racial connection with his use of, uh, racial slurs.
GraalVM is excellent in performing escape analysis on objects on the call stack, but it does not prevent the pointer overhead that a JVM array-of-heap-object-references has vs an array-of-structs that e.g. .NET supports [2].

Genetic tricks of the longest-lived animals
Actually, an even more obvious reason that I missed:

Politics have become so tribal, that even simple sentences no longer mean what they mean at face value. Instead, they more often signal membership in a group who holds a certain bundle of beliefs.

Do you think human lives matter...as in...all of them?
Do you think men should have basic rights...as in...mens rights?

Did you cringe a little at the last few words of those sentences? Even though at face value, they are very agreeable sentences? I think similarly, middle/right leaning people who aren't actually racist, think that parroting a political phrase on demand at work, is signaling a bunch of other "bundled ideologies" that they don't want to be a part of.

For illumos, the sweet spot is the 10-15 year old Sun gear you can pick up on eBay. Works well, supported, not overly expensive.

Newer SPARC systems are really quite good. And pretty cost-effective too. The problem is that the starting price is out of reach, and almost nobody is offering a cloud service based on SPARC, so you can't hire it either.

I'm running illumos on SPARC. I have some old hardware (desktop and server) that I like to make use of. Time, yes, but I'm not putting money into it.

And while OpenJDK upstream has dropped support for SPARC and Solaris, that was really all about problems with the Studio compiler. I' maintaining an illumos OpenJDK port with the gcc toolchain on x86 - it's not excessively hard, and realistically if you're using a common toolchain and common CPU most standards-compliant code is portable at the OS layer.
This site also seems to miscontrue what an APC is, and has always struck me as just papering over the problems in the publishing industry. For example: Some journals are open access (ie anyone can read the papers) and require a $2,500 APC to publish. Other models have a $0 APC and the journal paywalls the article to cover their overhead (and squeeze out disgusting profits)--this would not be open access.

However, these are frequently the same journal! It depends on the author's budget which model it follows.

The final model requires $0 APC and all articles are free to read for anyone (this is probably the HN ideal--as well as my own) but these are virtually non-existent since peer review/editing is time and labor intensive.

> Anytime you hear a company say they "cant find enough workers" you need to add to the end of that sentence the phrase "at the price I'm willing to pay."

Or add "... who are able to generate more value than they expect to be paid".

Businesses exist to make a profit, and will gladly hire people who make them money. A typical waiter just doesn't generate enough value to justify paying them a wage that will compete with what they're currently being paid to sit around and freeload.

I'm not the OP, but you can contact me if you like; my email is in my profile. I'm not totally blind, and I don't use a screen reader exclusively. But I use one a lot when browsing the web. Also, I worked on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft for three years, and I wrote a Windows screen reader and a talking web browser before that.

Edit: To answer your other question, yes, JAWS is still maintained and widely used, but it's not as dominant as it once was. On Windows, the NVDA open-source screen reader is quite popular, and the built-in Narrator screen reader is on the rise (though of course I'm biased, since I worked on it). iOS with its built-in VoiceOver screen reader is also quite popular among blind people, at least in the US.
I think you underestimate how small margins are at most restaurants.

My example was hyperbolic to better draw attention to the principle.

The principle applies, as you admit, that the cost increase would need to be passed onto the customer, who in a competitive business environment will likely chose the lower cost option over two products of similar quality.

If the employer did offer a wage increase, it would need to fit in the overall business ecosystem. For small restaurants maybe they can only afford a $2 raise while breaking even. For the local car wash, maybe $1.25 is the limit. By increasing the wage to an arbitrary number ($15/hr), this ignores the market principles that each business operates under.

Another thought experiment: why only $15? Why not $25? Or $50? Wouldn’t that be better? To set a limit already admits the principle holds and therefore any solution without nuance is unlikely to result in a good outcome.

Best original idea from Facebook. Ever.
I'm not a Tesla fanboy but I didn't think it was biased. E.g.:

Right off the bat he talks about the number of ECU[1] of Tesla compared to others. He points out that this will result in inferior quality due to the number of connections. A no-brainer with cascading effects which has many other advantages for Tesla[2]. Spelling this out will upset a lot of people because it's a valid attack that also knocks the other designs into a corner that makes one wonder what's the point of even continuing. (at least if one expects a ranking on quality etc - then there is no recovering from that).

The missing CAN-FD[3] bus-speed info on Tesla is interesting. It seems Tesla is doing it's own thing here with CAN-FD. Maybe a proprietary implementation (I couldn't make sense of it)?

The other connections like Ethernet, LIN etc are also much less and I'm assuming this can be attributed to simply having such a small number of ECU's too.

No idea what's going on with the missing OBD-II but I'd imagine if you want to roll out a proprietary after-market technology that can only be serviced at a Tesla shop then killing this makes sense in order to lock everyone in (customers but more relevant after-sales).

Tesla Y has no replaceable fuses, ... and it goes on ... and on ...

As a piston/gear-head who hates the brand, and strongly dislikes Musk it's a lot to digest and put up with. I don't understand though why the video is supposed to be biased or not accurate. It doesn't seem they're releasing any info that hasn't been floating around in various places.

This issue can be solved by extracting the "interface" and using that as the input. So for a shared library the interface may be all exported symbols. If that changes in any way you should rebuild the dependencies (to be cautious).

I think the ideal way to do this is to make a "dummy" library with the same interface and expose that to the build of the other program. That way you know it doesn't depend on anything else.

Of course there are complexities:

- What if the library is called in the build. Maybe the shim can proxy back to the original? But now you risk it depending on something. For tests proxying may make sense for build maybe not.

- For Nix you still want to produce a new output that is hardcoded to the new library version. You can skip the compile, but you still need to update the references.
"Per user" implies a relationship between the mark and the platform - a continuation of the fiction of consent that pervades Facebook and Google. So I'd rephrase your apologia this way:

"FB's revenue per human datum in the US is ~$5/month, but discrete datums who both know they are tracked by Facebook and are rich enough to pay protection money for privacy are few. To protect everyone, they would need to pay $20/month."
