If the 1 button on autopilot mode is the red autopilot disconnect, “time to hand-fly” button, I agree with you.

This turn to final (with the unusual additional warning to “do not fly through final”) is a visual maneuver and I’d expect most every pilot to be hand-flying at that point. (My autopilot and navigator is capable to make that intercept, but it’s way more tedious and distracting to program it than to just fly it.)
> You would have a point about knowing exactly every single corner case of the language. I don't think that's easy even for C. Fortunately I didn't claim it was either.

You said "It's small and easy to grasp the entire thing though, unlike most other more modern high level languages."

The entire thing doesn't include corners? And you entered the conversation in support of someone that literally said "every corner, nook and cranny"! If you were making a much weaker claim, it's on you to make that clear. Instead of this petty "doesn't address what I wrote" garbage.

On top of that, being able to suss out what is undefined behavior is in fact quite important for proper use of C. I wish it was a super rare corner case but it's not.

If you look at the net worth of people who make ~400K/year in their jobs, it has a huge variation.

This is because some of them launched themselves into a high-earning job and others were born into significant generational wealth. Most people who are born into serious wealth aren't going to stay long (if ever at all) in a sub-100K salary grind regardless of talent and skills.

Incidentally, I happen to know that a good number of the people that get busted for insider trading are highly compensated finance folks that make ~400K. They see their peers with dynastic wealth and the accompanying toys, get envious, and try taking "short cuts".

> Real question for OP (and others): What do you think is a reasonable effective income tax rate? (Please do not confuse effective and nominal tax rates!) In my view: "All in" should be about 50-55%. When I say "all in" I mean absolutely everything -- federal, state, local, national pension, national health (if applicable), yada yada yada. That would mean top 1% still have net income (after taxes) of more than 200K USD.

In my view one of the big problems is that capital gains are taxed less than income from working and they are a proportional tax. The result of that is that once you get to the 0.1 % taxation becomes regressive because a bigger chunk of your income comes from capital gains.

This is probably the most unusual CPU comparison I've ever seen.

The Xeon processor that he's comparing against is a six thousand dollar processor from two years ago that is absolutely destroyed by modern processors that cost less than one eighth of the price.

It is expensive because it is designed for 8-processor systems, with 4.5TB memory support, and it runs cores that are glacially slow individually, but meant to make up for it by the massive amount of them (24).

Finally, the test is effectively a single-core test, since he's measuring the execution units.

I think Apple deserves some kudos for having delivered a chip that would be competitive on the open market (if it were available as such), but all of these ridiculous comparisons just don't paint a picture that has any dose of reality.

The M1 is one process node ahead of AMD and two process nodes ahead of Intel. With this advantage, the M1 is performance equivalent[1] to AMD Zen 2 processors (3XXX series, which is one architecture behind) but much more expensive. They are price equivalent[2] to AMD Zen 3 processors, but much slower total performance (though the M1 has about a 25% perf-per-watt lead against the 5600X when limited to the same power envelope). The integrated graphics, however, is a step above.

And before I get downvoted to hell, the easiest way to see the actual performance of the M1 as compared to other processors is to look at Apple-to-Apple comparisons (pun partially intended) by comparing benchmarks from an Apple M1 to an Apple Intel, and looking at that same processor off of the Apple platform compared against other processors.

If you look at Phoronix Apple M1 to Apple i7-8700B benchmarks (ignoring Rosetta benchmarks since those unfairly favor Intel), you'll see that they perform similarly (in some cases Intel pulls ahead, in some cases the M1 pulls ahead, and in some cases they tie). Then when you compare that 6-core processor to a modern AMD six core processor (5600X), the AMD processor is 33% faster in single-core and 80% faster in multi-core benchmarks.

1. Cut out the synthetic benchmarks, because they are provably biased (e.g. intel biased userbenchmark). Look for application benchmarks that depend on compute, like file compression, or software compiles, or even real-workload browser benchmarks)
2. At MSRP, before current issues with chip availability
The stuff gets brittle over time. Had a windjacket for bicycling where this happened after about a year of usage.

Glad no one was injured or killed. Sounds like the Metroliner pilot did very well.

I really think that we should not have flying cars until we have true autopilot (hands off the wheel, meatbag!). The thought of the "Hey y'all! Lookit this!" knuckleheads that regularly open up, roaring past my house, in three dimensions, is chilling. They are bad enough with just two.

I'll bet that the advent of true driverless tech will also be the advent of illegal aftermarket "mod kits." I can see it now...the "Hold My Beer™" line of manual override modules...

> Howd they work out in Europe? How many lockdowns will they have? They actually did Lockdowns without travel restrictions and it did not work.

Lockdowns have worked very well in Europe. That's why the reaction to rising cases was always another lockdown, following which case counts fell again. However, the overall strategy was not eradication, so every lockdown so far ended when there were still enough infected to start a new wave. Travel restrictions would have helped keep more infectious strains like B 1.1.7 at bay, but in their absence, already-present strains would have kept spreading anyway.
They're up because housing has virtually no supply and massive demand, though. Houses are terrible assets as investment vehicles as they have very low returns and high disposal costs. They're really a last resort unless you want to be a landlord.

But how can a blockchain be actually and meaningfully "public" without proof of work and distributed mining establishing majority based consensus on what _is_.

If you just store the equivalent of a blockchain somewhere then I don't see what benefit it provides over a database controlled by a consortium.

Data discrepancies and substandard reporting of interim data: Sputnik V phase 3
It's prose, it's not a technical manual. There's no "ELI5" for art, because art happens inside you. For example, "Wave" (1889) by Ivan Aivazovsky[1] is a painting I really like. It speaks to me, but how do you "ELI5" it? There's nothing to "explain" about art, unless you only dissect art into the technical details of the painting -- because you look at it, and either you like it or you don't. If you don't like it, that's not from a lack of "understanding" the painting, there's not a bridge of knowledge you need to cross, you are entitled to simply not like it and that's fine. The fact that I do, and maybe you don't, doesn't really say anything about whether it's a good piece of art or not, or whether you understand art, etc.

My hunch is that Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, Russ Cox and the other Bell Labs alumni behind Go disliked GNU getopt-style flags, like they dislike a lot of other GNU and BSD decisions that "contaminate" the original philosophy behind Unix.

This overall attitude has led to many design decisions in Go, which define the language for better or worse. Statically-linked executables, for instance, contributed more than anything else to Go's popularity as a CLI tool language. Of course, the Bell Labs crowd was already highly skeptical of dynamic linking. See Rob Pike's opinion here:
http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/dynamic-linking/

I say it's a hunch, but I think Russ Cox's following comments pretty much demonstrate this attitude against GNUisms and BSDisms:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/2096#issuecomment-660578...
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9207316

On the other hand, Russ clearly goes on to say they designed the flags not based on Plan 9 (which only had short single-letter flags), but on Google's gflags library:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/2096#issuecomment-660578...

In short, it's probably both:

- Innate distrust of all things BSD/GNU meant that the original Go team didn't feel they have to honor the established tradition. Just like dynamic linking, they believed that if there is something that GNU does wrong, they don't need to follow it just for the sake of keeping compatibility.

- Positive experience using gflags convinced the team that the gflags approach (single-dash long flags) is the best one.

I personally think they were wrong here. As Russ Cox himself clearly stated in response to all requests for fixing go flags: there are many libraries out there who implement GNU-style flags. What happened in practice is that most Go developers voted with their feet and chose a third-party flag module (even Google's own Kubernetes is using spf13/cobra). In the end, the Go flags package just ended up causing more confusion and didn't solve any of the problems (perceived or real) with GNU flags.

Now let's hope that this is the end of the drama that "Swiss encryption" has been exposed to and the brand "Swiss neutrality" does not suffer more.

Probably because the example you made doesn't look like a static file server, it seems to execute a specific unix command on incoming request only. The rest of the examples from the gist is proper static file servers.

I'd be interested in seeing if you can come up with a socat one-liner that works like a static file server. Would come in handy for many things, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work.

"While I don’t think there is a definition that universally applies, I’ve found a definition that works relatively well. Exclude any page that has ads. Remove them if they use Google Analytics or Google Fonts. Remove them if they use scripts or trackers. It’s a hard filter that blocks the most popular sites. Forget YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, or Twitter. Forget the major news sites."

That's not a definition that helps us understand the qualities of a quiet web. Sometimes, thinking in metaphors can really hinder our ability to explore all the design space and not just the stuff that the metaphor borrows from.

Love the notion. Quite recently I was forced to endure an almost 2 month long Internet fast (telco's copper cable was stolen, rural area, lackadaisical response to say the least - DM for a link if you want the story). It was quite fantastic how much more I got done in the quiet of no Twitter, no news, no Reddit, no HN,...

Oh, there were occasions I rued not having access to some of the quiet sites I follow (usually via RSS) and Wikipedia, but mostly it was upside.

But, as the author notes, it can be difficult to find "quiet" websites that meet their (rather stringent) criteria, and it set me to wondering whether there might not be space for a search-engine that only lists sites that eschew Google Fonts and Analytics, FB links, etc.

Presumably, there's a third party that keeps a copy of the blockchain. If you rewrite the history of your blockchain, they'll detect it.

It's fair to ask why this public record needs to be in a blockchain though. You could store the record in plain HTML on a public website and have the Web Archive create periodic immutable snapshots of it.
Don't. I got a Cosmo Communicator, the successor device.

The good: the keyboard is great (At first - see below). It can be taken apart, which is great because you'll be doing that a lot...

The bad: Everything else. The device is fragile and impractical and the build quality is questionable. The case is sheet metal held in with tiny tabs - the hinge and bottom cover often pop off spontaneously. Breakages are common and no spares are available except by emailing support and begging; and if they agree, they will charge you the earth. The cover display cracked entirely by itself - a design flaw. Most unforgivably, after a year, the keyboard has worn in such a way that it frequently misses keystrokes. And - the coup-de-gras for me - there's no overcurrent protection on the right USB port, so it will melt the first time some lint shorts it (ask me how I know!).
I agree with that. Also I used to run road races so I know 10K is 6.2 miles - it also helps because I have a feel for just what 10K means if you follow.

Also - drive around and you more or less know what 100kph is in a car.

But mainly - I understand the point but the reasonable complaining gets mixed up - in a frankly counter-productive way - with political signaling.
I don't think what I've done for the last three and a half years has made me happier than working on a big project would have, and I have much less to show for it.

Everything is cryptic before we understand it. When we talk for instance about Google, governments, fines, power balance, etc, we're refering at least to an immense superposition of complex systems, or perhaps you could say an hypercomplexity, or perhaps totality may be the best word depending on your perspective. In that context, my cryptic poetics only constitute an heuristic which has the intent to provoke thought, because I do not wish to abandon the totality point of view, and that would be impossible otherwise in a space like this where concision is the rule. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say - although it took me 20 minutes to write this short reply, I'm still not confident it will adequately communicate what I'm thinking or purvey the apropriate "emotionality", which is rather cultural in essence.
