I'll throw out a reference to the Burroughs "large systems" line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_large_systems

These are the lineage of machines Knuth implemented his famous ALGOL-60 compiler on. There's a nice video about the B6500 that was discussed on HN years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7880027

I did some work adjacent to a UNISYS ClearPath "A Series" machine and later a PC-based version back in the early 2000s. Watching the operators and field service technicians working on it I got a feeling of a very mature environment. (Not necessarily fun to use by the look of it.) I got a bit of an IBM AS/400 feeling watching users interact with it in terminal emulation. For somebody with a Unix and MS-DOS background it just seemed odd.

After that contract was up I mostly forgot about it. I heard a talk where Alan Kay referred to some old Burroughs system. I got to reading about Burroughs and learned UNISYS was a successor. That led down a rabbit hole that ended up at these B5000-descended machines.

It looks like it was a well thought-out architecture that persists today (albeit in software, rather than hardware). The operating system, MCP, is still under development.

Blockchain is what makes it freely accessible to anyone from anywhere without requiring a sign up or kyc or local presence.

For instance, I can’t sign up for a US trading account without a certain amount of capital, going through a specialized broker, and clearing certain KYC rules.

I can do all of that without ever needing to go through a single centralized authority. I can buy a tokenized version of TSLA stock without going through a broker and having complete and 100% control over my capital at all times.

Unless you consider financial inclusivity and free and open financial markets a bad thing, of course.

I think that's a bit harsh. I'm quite able to be productive in both JetBrains products and in Xcode. I'd say JetBrains is superior due to the whole Intentions debugging system, but conceptual it is not a quantum leap between the two of them.

Where Xcode falls down is its sheer bugginess.

Your analogy doesn't sound far off from what information theory describes. Still, we need to be cautious of applying information theory to areas in which it might be over extended and may not be suitable. Claude Shannon himself was aware of this trend and wrote his essay "The Bandwagon" [1] urging caution and diligence in applying information theory to different fields.

Economic sanctions can be aimed at Belarusian elites and state enterprises: ban on direct export to Belarus of luxury goods, advanced technology, ban on certain imports etc. At the same time freedom of movement with transit routes via Russia or Ukraine should be encouraged, to support low-volume trade and grey market. The bigger is shadow economy and the less concentrated is private sector, the more difficult is it for the regime to control it. It stimulates low level corruption and reduces loyalty of the law enforcement, increasing the chances of the opposition in the future.

That was sarcasm. My bad, I know it doesn't go well over the internet.

There actually was artistic brutalism though - some architects here in Czechia (mostly Prague) tried to do their best with what was avaiblable. Some of these buildings are (post-significant rework) even nice. Some. And these were built way past Stalin - 70's and 80'.

My point was that the metro was the precious project of the bureaucrats.
This is a really unpopular take on Apple for HN, so I can see why you're getting downvoted.
Several of her positions, taken individually, are solidly left-wing. Not every position she has is solidly left-wing; a few are solidly right-wing, in the sense that they would be completely unsurprising coming from Republican legislators.

(Nothing inherently wrong with having positions that people across the aisle would agree with! In fact, I think it's so reasonable to have such positions that I think it's unfair to characterize such positions as "heterodox" or "wasn't reading from some memo everyone else got" - I'd simply call them "centrist" or "bipartisan.")

Therefore, "Tulsi Gabbard supports X" is not evidence of "X is a left-wing position," because there are several other positions she supports which are definitely not left-wing, and labeling her as a whole as "solidly left-wing" doesn't make that argument any more true. Maybe the centroid of her positions is left-wing, sure, but she's pretty non-solidly left-wing.

That's all.
Where does the author name Moscow State Uni as an example of brutalism? I can only find a paragraph where they associate it with Stalinist Classicism, which seems apt:

Sanctions are almost always too weak. Any sanction that the government can withstand is too weak and will have the affect you describe. A strong sanction that says "release the prisoner immediately" will be short and not affect citizens long enough to create such a sentiment.

Killing things in various ways... for "science"
Pilot was told their flight was being diverted due to a suspected bomb on board. What "game of chicken" would make a pilot doubt that instruction and chose to keep flying, given what the information they were being presented at the time?

It's not like they called to the plane and said "we'd like to kidnap a passenger, please land" and the pilot went along with it.
I guess there's another issue with this equation: avgOUT = avgIN + L

The L(osses) ... the pension/social/levy system - no matter which country we're looking at - appears to have been hijacked by an ever growing parasitic group of financial institutions that milk whatever they can into their private pockets (and their shareholders').

Every penny in fees they receive for "working out" specialized retirement plans is in a way a L(oss) for society. Why? Because no matter what ingenious system a state devises, it all comes back to the fact that the current working/healthy part of the population has to provide for tho elderly and the sick and whoever can't provide for themselves.
Every kind of juggling around with the money adding unnecessary steps in between is just milking the system for private gains.
I actually like this as consumers don’t care about price breakdowns. One of the biggest annoyances with consumer prices in the US is the separate price for taxes.

Many countries require net prices advertised and it’s so much simpler, both for ease of mind and for lower prices. Having $10 advertised and then 10% taxes layers on, and convenience fees, and service fees, etc sucks. I’d rather have $12 advertised and not care about all the stuff that goes into it.
I have old pictures I took, they were on a SD card. For some reason a few of those files are 0 bytes, meaning they probably went corrupt at some point.

It seems that it also happens on my SSD. For some other reason, windows explorer seems to crash or hang when I browse folder with a lot of images. SSD are known to have a short life expectancy.

I wonder if there is a market for very long life expectancy for HDDs. I mean any type of data storage that can last for 10 years without failure would have value.

Of course magnetic tape systems exist but I would guess that very durable HDD would still be better.

The solution I posted isn’t based on consensus, like Bitcoin even 1 node with a stronger history should win.

Validator nodes aren’t the weak points. It’s as you say the mining pools themselves, internally they need to be coordinated and have access to the Bitcoin network so they can’t be air gapped. So while all major pools have solid network security as they’re major targets, it’s still an actual risk.

> Until I can run a proper version of Firefox on iPad

FireFox for iOS works just fine. The Gecko vs WebKit difference doesn’t really matter in practice.

If you want general purpose computing, just get a Mac. You can run Firefox and any other program you’d like. It would be great if there was an opt-in developer mode on iOS that bypassed certain restrictions, but I also understand why Apple chose to go with security and simplicity as 99.9+% of their customers have no need nor desire to go beyond the security and platform restrictions.

I have both an iPad Pro with keyboard case and a MacBook. Even if I could run whatever I wanted on the iPad, I’d still be reaching for the MacBook because it’s just a better physical platform for doing anything other than simple touchscreen and stylus work.

You should be aware that SSDs perform wear leveling, so the key metric is not how many program/erase cycles the underlying flash can handle on a per-block basis, but the total amount of writes the drive can handle, usually expressed in TB or PB.

Unless you have measured your own workload in enough detail to know otherwise, it is extremely unlikely you actually need to use SLC NAND. The market has almost completely abandoned SLC NAND for good reason, and your use case probably isn't that special (though if it is, I'm sure we could have an interesting conversation about it). Absent clear evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume that a modern TLC SSD could easily fulfill your actual write endurance and data retention requirements, because that's the conclusion that has been reached by all of the big corporations who have been using modern SSDs in production at scale.

In the US there are protected classes, race being one, that are illegal for discrimination.

Side-loading, right to repair are not similarly protected. Although maybe they will be passed one day.

So if Apple had illegal discriminations, I think that would greatly decrease their support on this issue. Definitely from me.
Why’s it hard to emulate that game in particular?
Apple doesn't sell hardware/software. They sell experiences.

It's not in their interest to sell/provide and support an experience they didn't make. Their success shows that experiences are all that really matter despite what the vocal HN userbase routinely shares.

Right now, if I want to invest in US stocks, I have to go through a handful of local brokers. They want a minimum of 10k inr in the trading account. I have to clear kyc and get my account approved. Once approved, they can shut down the account anytime for any reason.

And all of these are recent developments - until a couple of years ago, it wasn’t even possible to invest in US stocks.

Alternatively, I can buy tokenized versions of popular stocks. This will be an erc-20 token that I will have full custody of at all times. I do not have to get “approved” or have a minimum amount in my account. I can be an investor in, say, AAPL with any amount of money from any part of the world. Unlike my own local stock markets that are filled with insider trading and subpar companies, I get to invest in and gain wealth from a more competitive market - without ever needing anyone’s permission.

Sure, Apple did it for selfish reasons and they'll keep their platforms locked up as much as they can get away with, but the end result is a benefit for all as powerful and open RISC systems proliferate.

The "bug" in the system is that when you talk about inalienable rights inherent by the grace of god or the creator is that god doesn't write shit down.

Usually people's understanding of God's will (assuming agreement on the deity) is influenced by their mortgage.

Nearly every time standing your ground splits your team and gives your opponents an advantage.

The best thing you can do is communicate your intentions to your team, but if they don't want to go with along with it it's almost always better to just stick with them. I think being willing to give up your own (obviously superior) plan is a form of emotional control.

The biggest problem with that is probably that there aren't enough trans people at the high school athletics level to form a local league. For something like running it is maybe realistic, but for any team sports it's definitely not. Basketball feels like an example where a single dominant player could change the outcome of a league, but you would still need like 10 kids per school minimum to field a team.

I think most trans men want to compete with the men anyway though, in fact the controversy with the FtM wrestler crushing a bunch of women a few years ago was because his conservative state wouldn't let him compete with the men.

IMO the men's league should be open to anyone that can make it, so the issue is really just who should qualify for the women's league - which presumably only those that identify as women would even try to. I would think the vast majority of people agree that a trans woman that just started hormones yesterday should not be allowed to compete with women, so there would have to be some restriction beyond just identity. Figuring out the specifics is tough though.
That sounds airtight—the defense lawyers surely wouldn’t say a word because it isn’t allowed.
