Remember -- the name "Linux" is trademarked. Microsoft is free to call something Windows X since they own the Windows trademark, but they can't call something Linux X because they don't own the Linux trademark. But they can call something X for Linux the same way a third party can call something X for Windows. Hence, Windows Subsystem for Linux. It sounds dumb, but that's the legal rationale.
I’m not sure how (1) follows (2). How is Apple “clearly” also a party when they aren’t even given the source code to the app?
>The situation that individuals with these accounts may be committing crimes

Hell I've got an account in an offshore jurisdiction. I guess I need to go do some introspection about my "crime of tax evasion"...
The article makes the point that any evidence we have makes it difficult to disentangle the two, but the conclusions specifically calls for a third path. If dark matter was just any explanation for the mass gap, that third path would just be 'dark matter'.
Why not just kill all the poor people then, or let them starve to death. Leave the land for Gates and Bezos and Musk, clearly they are worth more than me because they have more money. The value of a human is not measured by how much money they "earned" or how cheaply they can be "worked". You could bring back slavery so that poor people work for free and the rich get more rich and thus more valuable.
I would like to see some system were you pay for the number of 'nines' of reliability you want.

At my house, I'd be happy with just 2 nines. Maybe the same for street lighting or sewerage treatment.

For that, I would like to not pay for the peak capacity doubly-redundant inspected monthly power lines. Let those who actually want reliability pay.

I propose that the electric company provide meters which can have selectable 'reliability', and merely shut off lower service tiers like me whenever a line is down or generation reaches capacity. For a property that already has a GFCI/RCD, a $6 mesh LoRA board and a 1 cent resistor is sufficient for the energy company to switch off the GFCI.

Albania and Jordan; both produce olive oil, both are selling it to others because it is a source of income they cannot ignore. You cannot sell it and eat it at the same time.
It still feels a bit weird that we call it an "event" when it took millions of years, and then another 800 million years before anything came along that could breathe oxygen, leading to bacteria repeatedly nearly killing themselves off during that entire period[0].

I wonder if this fungus-like discovery changes any of that story.

You can't learn to be a billionaire. And the way capitalism works not everyone can be a billionaire, more importantly not everyone needs to be a billionaire. I would go so far as to say no one needs to be a billionaire. But if we are going to put an upper limit on personal wealth then $1bn seems like a good starting point.

In a democracy, yes it does.
it’s not contradictory, as you seem to be poorly insinuating. transparency should scale with power and wealth, lest we fall into oligarchy/tyranny/authoritarianism/any-other-system that’s very good for a few and very bad for the rest of us.
Most people accept it's just another job which pays a bit (somewhere a lot more) better compared to alternatives.

There are many ways one can die or be injured. But knowing the likely upper limit of your longevity can change how you approach finances and risk.
If you are making $400k in California, in places where you are likely to make that much, quite a lot of that is going to taxes and expenses. Sure, you might be able to save $2M over a decade, which makes you well off for sure, but "rich" is a bit of a stretch when all it affords you is paying a mortgage on a mid-century formerly middle-class house vaguely within commuting distance.

Calling that lifestyle "rich" just serves to muddy the water. This is soundly in the category of upper-middle class and decades away from being financially independent.
I can say that about dozens of technologies that already exist, and several others besides a mere 18 year boost to average life expectancy that are actively being worked on.
If you’re arguing our elected officials receive exorbitant benefits on the taxpayer dime, you’ve got a friend in me. But unfortunately that is but a drop in the bucket of the grift involved in entitlement fraud, tax fraud, foreign aid fraud, military-industrial hustle, and the Trillions of other ways our “representatives” by favor and votes with other people's money.
> The majority of the population of CA lives in the coastal cities

No, and most certainly not the mild-climate coastal cities with low HVAC costs.

I mean, 1/2 the population lives in the Central Valley plus LA Basin, which don’t fit that because of AC, add in the mountains (heating) and deeper inland southern California (AC, again), and you have a clear majority to which the description doesn’t apply.

The history of state revenue sources has been much broader than the last 100 years of worrying about whether everyone is getting hosed equally. High tax jurisdictions who will never balance their budget are in a quagmire of their own design, and they lack the consensus mechanisms to do anything about it. They are failed states in this regard and that has nothing to do with rest of the world.

So pessimistic!

Why wouldn't older folks' quality of life continue to increase as we develop new medicine and technology? Cancer and Alzheimers will never be cured? We'll never be able to induce cellular regeneration like many other species can, or artificial body parts will never advance beyond their current crudeness?

How many people spend their working years doing mind-numbing or back-breaking manual labor compared to even a century or two ago? How many people back then would have been radically oppressed from birth but even today can pursue their own dreams? Life is still relatively "nasty, brutish, and short" but it is getting better and I see no reason to expect that progress to end, let alone regress.

While you despair over a grim dark future, I look forward to a garden Earth, resplendent in biodiversity, home to fifty billion humans free from disease and material needs, yet with less footprint than we use today. Technology can do this for us, as long as we don't get stuck.

CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) sets what profits PG&E makes. Any lack of money spent on maintenance and wildfire prevention necessarily goes into ratepayers pockets in the form of lower electricity rates, and the Office of Ratepayer Avocates in CPUC ensures this remains the case. PG&E is extremely regulated - anything characterized by "stealing the money" or "paying out dividends instead of doing maintenance" is elected and/or appointed officials scapegoating PG&E for complying with their regulatory decisions.
As others have mentioned, anything obscure like this should literally come with a Wikipedia (or other such) link to explain what it is, what it does. This is the primary problem with small project READMEs, imo. They assume you're already familiar with them and know what the hell they are. Like, take Ironhide:

That's... great. So it's doing something with GL, and it's running on Linux, but uhhh.

my branch of the original bumblebee project..

What is Optimus? What is Bumblebee? The trick of it is that it links to a blog where neither of these terms are ever explained. Maybe it's to just look impressive on someone's CV? How could I even tell the difference?

Likewise for this project, all you need in the README is one line that's like:

In America, the top 1% has 20% of the income, but pays almost 40% of the taxes. What is their 'fair share'? What is your fair share of someone else's income?

Countries like Norway or Sweden, which have more billionaires per capita than the USA have much less progressive tax codes.
Apple is in charge when it benefits them, and devs are in charge when there's a liability.
Sure, but payroll taxes (~7.5% + 7.5% employer contribution) are a thing and that's another ~$5000 (or $10,000 if you include employer contribution) that the household has to pay.

Also as grandparent mentioned, you pay exactly the same amount of taxes on your first $65K as the person making $65K does.

Canadian here can’t really comment on US taxes but our PM Justin Trudeau elected on demonizing the 1% but then promptly cut tax credits on children sports, public transit, child credits, etc while doing nothing to his billionaire buddies so certainly sounds familiar from up here.

I pay more now because of the SALT cap, but I still support the idea - why should residents of low tax states subsidize residents of high tax states, all other things being equal?
That's not at all what anyone here means by "equal".

There is zero scientific reason to believe that Black wage gaps exist because Black people are genetically inferior to whites, and there is a ton of scientific reason to believe that Black wage gaps are influenced by systems we have set up that have nothing to do with the individual. Equality means fixing those systems.

Equality means giving kids who are born in a ghetto the same education opportunities and investment opportunities as someone who is born in a rich white neighborhood. It means engineering our society so that success isn't a lottery based on the income level of your school.

The color of your skin has no bearing on your innate ability to be an engineer, so what when we try to address structural inequality we're not trying to suppress anyone's unique abilities. Quite the opposite, we are trying to remove the structures like racism, education gaps, and investment gaps that get in the way of people's unique abilities. How many Black engineers never get a chance to discover their potential simply because their school is too poor to afford computers or software?

We are also not trying to force everyone into a single uniform outcome, we are trying to remove systems that enforce uniform outcomes based on attributes like social connections and income that have nothing to do with innate talent. How many otherwise successful Black businesses were destroyed by openly racist policies like redlining, or because investors have an unscientific, biased view of what a successful businessperson "ought" to look like or what people they "ought" to know?

Now, separately, equality also means guaranteeing the same basic rights and social assurances to everyone regardless of their race and ability. That doesn't mean that everyone can do everything equally as well, it doesn't mean that everyone should have the same job or that success is evil. But even people who are not qualified to be engineers should be able to at least live normal lives without the threat of extreme poverty. They should be able to find housing. They shouldn't be put in situations where they're frightened of their local police. Equality means that Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness belongs to everyone, regardless of where you were born or what other people think about the color of your skin. So we're not looking to get rid of success, be we are looking to build basic social safety nets that guarantee that people are not left behind or discarded by society just because a company doesn't think they're useful enough to deserve a livable wage.

And yeah, that applies to intellectually disabled and differently abled communities as well. Being born with a learning disability is not a good reason for someone to be homeless. Those people also deserve dignity and a place in society.
Glad it works for him, sounds terribly boring to eat the same supper every day, and be so religious and stubborn about it, too. Imagine living your entire life and not having enjoyed Indian food, but only had the same meal every day, when you have a choice...

Being content with what you have is great, but arbitrarily avoiding new experiences, even those at small cost (e.g. trying an Indian lentils recipe) is probably the biggest regret maximiser I can think of, for me personally.

All the other stuff about enjoying nature, his surroundings etc, is great of course. But I don't see how it's mutually exclusive with some of the other things (like trying different foods worldwide nature + worldwide culture has to offer) that feel more like a stubborn pride to be able to say 'look how down to earth I am, compared with you fancy city folk'.

Hint: The reason why it's called "endianness" comes from the novel Gulliver's Travels, in which the neighboring nations of Lilliput and Blefuscu went to bitter, bloody war over which end to break your eggs from: the big end or the little end. The warring factions were also known as Big-Endians and Little-Endians, and each thought themselves superior to the dirty heathens on the other side. If one side were objectively correct, if there were an inherent advantage to breaking your egg from one side or the other, would there be a war at all?
I'm not sure any particular law like that applies to Apple, but I would actually be somewhat surprised if they didn't. You bought an Apple device, used it to access Apple's servers, which pointed you at software hosted on Apple's servers, which you proceeded to download from Apple's servers, if it was non-free software you paid Apple for it, and Apple has final approval over any software that is actually distributed to consumers.

Edit: And if you were infected via way of an update, the update mechanism is Apple's software asked Apple's servers if there was any updates, and when Apple's servers said yes they downloaded software from Apple's servers and deployed it on your phone.

To argue by analogy, Amazon is responsible for goods they sell on there store that they don't even distribute themselves... https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/1/22414185/california-appeal...

In principle, yes. In practice, these proposals match the spin curve very well and the bullet cluster not so much. That isn't a knock down argument; the bullet cluster offers oddities for dark matter too. However OP implied that because galactic rotation works without dark matter, and dark matter was first posited to deal with galactic rotation, we don't need dark matter. That's not right.
Of course the problems are solvable if you have desirable incentives. But as Pournelles Iron Law of Bureaucracy points out that the incentives to solve the problem are ALWAYS eventually replaced to preserve and grow the bureaucracy. And that’s why a universal, government solution is doomed to fail.

Funny you mention bad rural Internet considering that’s a problem technology and competition is about to solve.
Human suffering and death are not binary things.

War will always be a bad thing, but putting people on the ground in a foreign land with the mission to kill others has always amplified the horrors of war many many times over.

Taking out power in half the US for a day would kill thousands, but it's the equivalent of an all out attack on the US.

Compare that to if another country were to physically commit to an all out attack and it's easy to see why this would make future wars look like minor skirmishes compared to what's happened in the past

From what I can see the analysis was not highly significant for the individual SNPs (p>0.1) but they combined it into a gene based analysis that brought the significance up. I'm not enough of a statistician to know how valid that procedure is but I would say even if you find out the individual SNPs it probably isn't too reliable to interpret them on their own.

> You're obviously correct, but I think this ignores downstream costs of sufficiently magical compilers. If my compiler tunnels into a parallel universe, executes the code there, and returns the result, that's fine, but it's going to be enormously painful to debug.

> Obviously very few developers (including myself) have an appropriate mental model of highly complex, speculative processor architectures that end up executing their code, but I do think there is at least some benefit to having a correspondence between the code you write and the code the compiler generates.

It’s not really clear to me why you think this? Or at least, it’s not clear to me how you can write this without levelling the same complaint against essentially any C compiler written after the mid 1980s?

Because for all the hand—wringing in the comments here about compilers generating code that doesn’t do what your C said it would do in the way you wrote it, that ship sailed decades ago.

That quaint little integer addition loop you write in C will, as like as not, be exploded by the compiler into an unrolled stream of SIMD instructions and packed registers that doesn’t resemble what you wrote in the least, which the CPU may then further scramble and interleave, resulting in nothing remotely like what a naive person might imagine is a reasonable translation of what you wrote – and yet, debuggers remain broadly useful tools.

And people have for decades now shown a strong desire to enthusiastically and with great speed drop compilers in favour of newer ones that performed better optimizations, which is to say, people have shown a strong preference for compilers that are good at generating code that looks nothing like what you wrote, provided the results are the same and the performance is as fast as possible.

Turning a copy into passing a pointer that may later copy if and only if the compiler sees the possibility of a write coming is, in terms of modern optimizations, an absolutely conservative optimization that doesn’t routinely happen only because platform ABIs unnecessarily rule it out. Far from being a bridge too far, in terms of modern compiler behaviour it’s simple and low-hanging fruit which isn’t exploited even though far more exotic tricks are already the rule of the day.

Depends on the location and cost of living?

And no I'm not saying you should just offset income by exactly the CoL. Obviously being in a prime location has its own benefits too. But you can't just assume the benefits cancel the extra cost of living either; they certainly don't cancel for everybody. The balance is somewhere in between. (I don't have a formula.)
