Erring on the side of caution here would mean sending the student home for the day with his plate, and a note that says "student was sent home because we're uncomfortable with any level of radioactive materials in the school. They're not in trouble, but please don't do it again". It's still more than is really necessary, but I can understand not wanting to expose other people's children to any level of unnecessary radiation.

There's a huge difference between "a thing designed to eat out of, with radioactivity as a trinket" and "a thing literally designed to cause cell death". Even in the era when radiation was marketed as healthy, we weren't giving people doses anywhere close to the output from that radiotherapy source.

That thing was outputting almost 5 Grays per hour at a meter away. You would have a high enough dose for Acute Radiation Syndrome after 12 minutes of exposure at a meter away. A little over an hour of exposure puts you in the "probably going to die even if you get to a hospital" range, and 6 hours puts you in the "there's nothing we can do for you, you'll be dead in less than 48 hours" range.

It's just nonsensical for a consumer product, even in ye olden days. People would have noticed that anyone who bought the glassware almost immediately became seriously ill with mysterious symptoms.

There are lots of products from then that had more radiation than was healthy, but it was in the "long term exposure is going to cause cancer or other diseases" form, not the "you are going to die imminently" form. Even in the Radium Girls, who were ingesting radioactive paint, it took 6 years from the opening of the factory to the first recorded death. They also had an unusual method of exposure; I'm willing to bet nobody at the school was debating eating the plate.

The student would have been dead or severely ill if it were anywhere close to Goiania. Acute Radiation Syndrome has a fast onset; the longest time between exposure and symptoms listed is 6 hours. The fact that the student appeared to be healthy should tell you that the dose isn't immediately dangerous. That it sat in an antique store (pulled from another article) without the owner falling over dead should be another clue. Further, this was just a quarter sized shard of a plate, so the owner presumably has several. If one of these shards emitted a dangerous level of radiation, the whole pile in the antique store would have poisoned an entire neighborhood. The student also brought a Geiger counter, so they don't even have to guess at what the dose was; they could measure it and go from there.

Not much, maybe a defamation lawsuit if they find out about it and they’re sufficiently spiteful and petty.

> Should I just let it go?

Yes.

> Should I apply for unemployment even though I wasn't fired?

No, my experience is in California: the unemployment office sends the paperwork straight to the employer. That will be your former boss’s chance to (correctly?) accuse you of fraud and screw you over one last time.
I mean, it's definitely still there. Several times.

Sure, and judging by the transcript Minsk wasn't the pilot's choice.
I like to say "the machine that does everything, does nothing".
The pertinent difference here appears to be a falsified bomb threat and the use of a fighter jet to implicitly threaten the lives of the pilot and crew if they didn't kowtow to the illegal instructions. Both of these factors seem like more than minor details and much more dangerous precedents. Lying about bomb threats is far beyond the pale of acceptable behavior for a national aviation authority.
I don't have any problems with people buying or selling art for large sums of money, nor do I have a problem with people classifying art as pretty much whatever they want.

The only thing I mind are the people pretending a real problem has been solved with NFTs. In any current (or conceived as far as I know) implementation of NFTs you have to trust so many people, technologies, and companies that the blockchain being technically "trustless" is not solving a real problem at all.

Overall I don't understand the point of a blockchain if you have to interact with anything off-chain at all. If I have to trust an oracle or similar why even bother with a blockchain in the first place?
Orwell wrote that review at pretty much the same time as the Bretton Woods system of international monetary exchange was implemented, which the largest single piece of the Keynesian economic foundations for 25 years of economic growth with a high level of stability and a low level of inequality in the US-centric world.

There were good reasons why Bretton Woods failed in 1970, but the subsequent ascendance of Hayekian neoliberalism doesn't look so good 40 years on.
What would happen if I put up a NFT for sale of something I had no part in making?
That would be more like downvoting an account or a person. Downvoting a comment simply signals that there's something wrong with the comment. If the next comment is fine, it's welcome at the lunch table.

It's true that comments sometimes get downvoted unfairly, but I'm not seeing that in this thread. In such cases, though, the thing to do is give them a corrective upvote: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Because people expect another Juicer here. There is no way in the world for a bicycle factory to cost $400M.

For such money, I can setup you 400 bicycle factories, and somebody who is an industry insider can probably do even more.

I myself been involved with company trying to start a scooter knockdown kit assembly line, with some parts manufacturing 7 years ago in BC, Canada, and Washington state in USA.

It was all around $800k USD, which includes 1 year of operation. It was all a complete disaster though on the manpower, and supplies side, as everybody except for the company owner expected.

The first line worked who did not manage to miswire a colour coded, mechanically keyed harness with just 6 connectors was a MEng graduate who wanted 60 something thousand USD, and was slow as molasses.

And yes, custom fasteners were impossible to procure in North America as such. Fastener companies wouldn't even talk to you if you don't put up n*$100k up front. Same thing in China starts in under $10k.

The difference between two is the difference between having to pay taxes or you'll owe a debt to the IRS and the government sending jackbooted thugs to ransack your house for money and valuables. Coercion through a system of laws, courts, and diplomacy is fundamentally not the same as coercion by force.
> Apple was making Mac Pros in Texas... then they stopped and moved production to China.

Quote:

“It was an experiment to prove that the U.S. supply chain could work as good as China’s, and it failed miserably,” a former senior manager is quoted as saying.

No one opens a whole factory just for the PR. They tried, and the experiment didn't work. The US has objective problems in supporting mass manufacturing and assembly. Guilting companies into it won't work.
Because it is pure speculation and is honestly not backed by any evidence?
You're forgetting the pests.
I'd support that. Regarding country of origin, doesn't every product have a "Made in ..." on it and it's packaging? I'm only familiar with Europe and Canada though.
When someone bought this NFT (or in general), did someone sign a contract with you saying they transferred ownership in the intellectual property the NFT "represented"? (Ie, was at the other end of the URL, I guess?)

Cause the NFT itself means nothing to courts or laws, does it?

If someone owns the copyright in that video, they can send YouTube takedown notices. But what, if anything, makes NFT proof of ownership of copyright? How do you even know the person that sold it to you had the copyright to transfer, and did they transfer it?

One of the things that seems irraitional about this NFT market.
Is there a comprehensive list of alternatives to Youtube?

To me it seems that monetization of content has led our culture to become deeply sensationalist and destructive, and I'd like to support non-monetized content platforms if I can
Coordination problems are really hard to solve.

Most of the world has settled on capitalism because it solves a specific class of coordination problems really well, and targeted intervention can stave off the externalities enough to make the system bearable.

Slumps and unemployment aren't, like, an avoidable curse, but they're pretty damn hard to avoid, and so far no system has had real success.
What is an "NFT for linux"?

Never Complain about downvoting - even if you think its unfair, its counter productive. Also, refraining (from complaining) will build the disagreement muscle and will check 'approval seeking' instincts.

my 2 cents.
there's nothing stopping you from doing that
Not that I know of directly, but there is a phenomenon where the ultra-rich "purchase" (but rarely take possession of) items in an exclusive catalog and the item's ownership/heritage is seen as a status symbol. The first thing that comes to mind is the Codex Leicester, which is now owned by Bill Gates and people were expecting him to rename it "Codex Gates" but he didn't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Leicester
Uber has been fundamentally broken at LAX, so hopefully these changes will make it better. It's so bad that taxi cabs are making a bit of a resurgence, because they win on convenience, user experience, and price. About half of people who request an Uber ride at LAX never get accepted by a driver[1].

I've been on the receiving end of that. My last time at LAX, there were half a dozen Uber drivers sitting in the lot. I kept getting notifications on my phone that I was being offered rides at increasingly high prices. When I tried to accept the driver would deny me. One driver pulled up and said that "because the app is buggy today", I wouldn't get matched with a driver but he'd be willing to drive me home for $50, paid via cash or venmo (for comparison, my Uber ride to the airport was $12). After watching the drivers a bit, SURPRISE, the app wasn't buggy. The drivers were just working as a cartel to deny every potential fare, which jacked up the prices in the app. Then they'd swoop up to frustrated travelers and offer to drive them home for an even more exorbitant rate, while also sidestepping Uber's cut.

Unlike Uber, Lyft will apparently try to match you with drivers outside of the airport. That makes it harder to artificially raise prices. A Lyft driver a few blocks away ended up taking me home for $13+tip. In the time a spent waiting for him to pick me up, not a single Uber car took a passenger.

Someone might buy it but probably not.
I don't know a lot about Capsicum, but from what I remember (and see from their website) it adds capabilities to FreeBSD but doesn't make them mandatory. As such, it is a tool to build compartimentalized applications. It does not provide a comprehensive solution to sandbox existing applications, and does not remove the ambiant-authority model. It is a better, safer chroot(). Fuchsia, on the other hand, is built on top of capabilities from the ground up, ensuring that you don't even have a concept of "file descriptor" or "centralized filesystem" to begin with.
Good points. So what did Foxconn gain? Or was it really just a slip-up?
> It’s not Uber’s responsibility to provide FT or benefits.

> Let the market decide.

I just want to spell out that these are political stances, and not universal truths.

An alternative political stance is that multiple factors conspire such that "get a different job" is for many people not a viable strategy. The situation under which a worker feels that their only viable strategy is working for Uber is beneficial to Uber.

Is it Uber's responsibility to ensure that there are multiple viable job strategies for people? No, not exactly. That's the responsibility of the government. We can't expect an entity to act against its own interests.
I would describe myself, usually, as not a jealous man. I don't recollect the last time I've felt jealousy. But, something about NFTs provokes anger within me. Maybe that anger is jealously.

It feels like NFTs are a mockery of the "market" for lack of a better word. When I think of what I would need to sell (items or time doing labor) to get these amounts and how incredibly useless NFTs actually are... It's frustrating.

I don't feel this way about inherited wealth, or people who got money through the lottery, or for being famous reality show people, but something about NFTs really rubs me the wrong way.
The question of ownership will definitely have to be answered soon enough, as people who have been purchasing digital content over the last 20-30 years start to die. If my dad spent hundreds or thousands of dollars purchasing Beatles albums and memorabilia do I have the right to inherit it? Apple says no, but I bet courts in most jurisdictions will disagree.
I bought one that does not come with a monthly subscription.

Putting shared context in another file makes it harder to read though. Files should be big enough to represent some reasonable context, for more complicated things that necessary creates a big shared context you want bigger files and simpler things smaller files.

A thing that can be perfectly encapsulated in a 1000 line file with a small clean interface is much much better than splitting that up into 20 files 100 lines each calling each other.
> If they would band together, why not just make a new phone?

Because it is much easier to write jailbreaking software, than it is to build an entirely new phone.

> since apple could release a new firmware to block your OS

People have been jailbreaking phones for years. That is always the game of cat and mouse. And people have continue to get around it, even though they don't have large amount of resources, like big companies would.

But, furthermore, if there is a large enough userbase, that is jailbreaking their phone, then it would cause Apple a large amount of economic damage, if they decide to screw over this critical mass of users.

If 30% of Apple's users, would get their phone bricked after an Apple update, then Apple would probably be cautious about doing that.

But I guess it is hypothetically possible that Apple would be willing to brick 30% of their customers phones (if that was the critical mass). That would certainly hurt their customer friendly image though, and it would cause Apple billions of dollars in damages.

> but the market solution would be for people

Putting lots of resources into jailbreaking phones, and convincing a lot of users to do it, such that it would cause Apple a lot of damage, if they stopped it, is also a free market solution.

That is a free market solution that is much easier to do, than building a new phone.
Comparing North Korea, a government, with a public company in a free society makes no sense and disrespects the real atrocities the North Korean people are experiencing, because you are comparing their suffering to problems you have with your laptop, which is appalling.

As for the term "pro" - nobody agrees what "pro" means. An art designer might do professional work on a MacBook Air, even though you wouldn't call that a "pro" machine. Although you might not like the terminology, you should have been able to research and know what you were getting, and it still absolutely does not bear the comparison to North Korea. First world problems compared to third world tyranny.
This is downright obscene. I could understand YouTube demonetizing creators whose content doesn't align with YouTube's advertisers, but now they want to syphon off most of the revenue that supports the creation of that content?
Well yea, different people have different opinions. I think globalization is a good thing that provides cheap goods and better jobs for the global poor. Others think globalization is a bad thing that offshores American jobs and exploits workers. I don't think either side is wrong.

Choice quote for those who will claim (ignorantly or in bad faith) there was no threat to human life and coercion and that this was "completely different" (it wasn't):

"Without enough fuel to fly an alternative route, the Bolivian pilot was forced to make a U-turn and land in Vienna."

The plane would crash and everybody in it would die if they didn't comply. The plane was searched by Austrian police on the ground.
What is preventing people from uploading the video back to YouTube? after all there are tons of shows already on there that are owned by media companies. I am sure this Charlie video has a lot of copies floating around.
Your implication is that Google is not treating Fuchsia as a 'throw it over the wall' project, but as one with community participation. How many of your colleagues are from outside of Google? How often do you work with non-googlers as you develop it?

Are you regularly reviewing code submitted by your colleages at Samsung?

The fact that you're confused by the concept of working with people outside your company doesn't bode well for the open-sourceness of this project.

Depends on cultural differences and their qualification.

For example basically noone complains about Ukrainian/Belarusian programmers working in Poland.

There is quite significant presence of Ukrainians in Poland and it is widely accepted and so far no major problems happened.

> On 14 September 2018, 33,624 Ukrainian citizens possessed a permanent residence permit, and 132,099 had a temporary residence permit.[4] About 1 to 2 million Ukrainian citizens are working in Poland.[5][6] There are also 40,000 Ukrainian students in Poland.[6]

You are thinking with a static mindset.

Its clear that they are thinking of a broader market and company.

Its not hard for me, for example, to see how they can scale this to rowing and treadmills and beyond given their strong brand.
That's a great way to put it. Absent government bans on a bunch of the bad behavior Apple outlaws in its store, I'd really rather keep the choice of selecting Apple's "users' union".

When spying on users and hoarding the resulting data is illegal, and anti-fraud laws and truth-in-advertising laws and laws mandating a standard interface for subscription management exist or are much better-enforced, then, sure, let's grab the torches and pitchforks and burn down the App Store. Meanwhile, I'm paying Apple to be my private regulation agency, backed by their sheer size (as a company, and of their market) to prevent companies and developers from simply refusing to do business with them (and so, not forcing, but strongly encouraging them to provide me with regulation-compliant products and services).
Hemlock is another Emacs implemented in Common Lisp. I don't know how it differs from Climacs except the latter obviously uses CLIM as its front end. Modified versions of Hemlock are used as the IDE editors for CCL and Lispworks.

This tells me more about the psychology of rich people than anything else.

How pathetically desperate for validation you must be to pay this much for a unique thing, and to deprive others of access to it.
The best way for them to do this would be create a intermediary service as a way to "make it easier to connect advertisers and creators" by streamlining payment, terms, etc.

While it would likely be a great boon (think Stripe + legal service + getting paid on time), it would likely end up like PayPal; creators constantly getting their accounts shut down for "suspicious activity" and their money pocketed.
This looks cool! I haven't played around with these sorts of things in a long time, but yes, it's always felt like "samples" have been a second class citizen in these deals -- but of course, ought to be able to be abstracted away with functional programming.
Second Climacs describes itself relying on McCLIM, which is enough to infect it with GPL.
What would happen if you sold to someone the deed to a house you do not own?
That seems like an irrelevant technical distinction considering that Austrian officials searched President Morale's plane when it made an emergency landing in Vienna. The whole charade was clearly planned. The optics may have looked different as compared to sending up a military interceptor, but certainly the political substance was the same. It's not like officials search every diverted flight; they search the ones they conspired to ground in their jurisdiction. And the legal substance may have been the same if those other EU countries violated treaties in rescinding their overflight permission.
Also, when you look at the flight path, the Minsk airport was MUCH further from the Vilnius airport they intended to land at. They were almost to their destination and ALMOST out of Belarus airspace.
Why is there a difference of goroutine leak behavior between channels with or without a length?
Are you for real? When a fighter jet intercepts you, you damn well know it. That's the whole point of fighter jets intercepting planes; they are impossible for pilots to ignore.
That theory is heavily debated, the initial sequestration of carbon that allowed for an oxygen atmosphere is predates cellulose. Which suggests an inability to digest cellulose isn’t necessary to explain vast coal deposits which formed far more recently.

Well clearly there is a large variety in size and scope, which is why I tried to say a “large” car plant (by which I meant reasonable complexity and manufacturing volume).

Clearly you can open a very small car factory for $1 million with a body shop if you want to.
I was not either. I just like to point out that people like to blame executives and shareholders and owners, and yet it is the country as a whole knowingly voting with their dollars for cheaper products made with cheaper labor from overseas that enable those businesses to succeed (and consequently the businesses using domestic labor to fail).

So a CEO answers to a board answers to shareholders answers to the collective population of buyers, which is us.
So I tried this with a throwaway address, disabled telemetry, and liked what I saw. Then noticed over the following few hours that text input everywhere other than iterm was very janky. Pauses, skipped letters, etc.
