Well, it looks more like 41 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything than 42.

Edit: Well, it appears I was mistaken. I forgot to count 10^0 cm. The answer is 42. :-)

Also, the idea of giving politicians control over what speech must be carried on social media strikes me as stark raving mad. There is no chance that won’t be abused.

The situation is complicated. I want all our software to be free and hardware easily modifiable, but I'm also aware of why radios are regulated the way they are. This is sort of a separate issue from the locked bootloaders on the phone itself, but the radio/modem on phones is very controlled and locked down, and ... probably for the better?

Bad actors can already get their hands on the technology to spoof/intercept cellular traffic so that cat is kind of out of the bag, but if the modems were totally open and could effectively be turned into SDRs, I worry a bit about the ramifications.

I've talked to script kiddie teens who get their giggles out of downloading some dodgy windows or android app to mass deauth wifi clients from APs. If it truly becomes easy to gain full access of your average phone's modem, I wonder what sorts of similar apps would appear. Maybe it'd be no worse than wifi, but given the much greater scope and potential damage from a DoS'd/jammed cell tower, it's a heavy topic IMO...
I'm surprised HN doesn't do this automatically.
I don't know how you managed to mentally back flip around the idea that you're trying to prove something via lack of information but it's ludicrous that you feel it's compelling evidence for others.

Leave the discussion to adults.
For instance, if you wanted to add 1 to every other element in the vector (1,2,3,4,5,6). To someone who has no programming experience, this may be a daunting task. But simply doing (1,0) + (1,2,3,4,5,6) works in R.
Abstracting a bit, this is an application of the principle "represent important intermediate results as explicit data structures". It shows up in many places: testing, extensibility, logging, and parallelization are all easier to implement when the result is represented explicitly instead of implicitly in the program's call stack.

Has anyone written about this idea? It seems to have some interesting interaction with laziness.
So you’re going to hand that power over to politicians instead? What a fantastic way to make everything worse.

Looking now at my experience of hanging out in IRC 20 years ago, it looks the same. Very low entry barriers, toxic hierarchical culture by design (even codified in client UI conventions, putting channel ops at the top), lack of safe space unless you cut yourself off the community, lack of commercial incentives to develop moderation and grow user base, perceived lawfulness and so on and so on.
Internet providers only have to allow this $50 discount toward plans of their choice. I have read that in many cases, to get the discount, the customer has to upgrade to a higher-cost plan. Then once the discount is no longer available, the customer is stuck on the higher-cost plan, especially in the case where the customer was grandfathered-in on a lower-cost plan that is no longer available.

The FCC should have just given consumers the $50/mo instead of making it a credit to providers. Internet providers are snakes, and if there is a way they can bite you, they will.

Humans don't have to bioengineer a weaponized virus on purpose for a lab to be what created the virus. One common thing that happens in these research labs is that viruses can jump from one lab culture to another and swap genetic material to make hybrids that are more contagious for example. This might explain the furin cleavage site in the spike protein that helps SARS-CoV-2 pry its way into human cells.

My understanding of io_uring on Linux is that the submission queue only holds the recently-submitted entries that the kernel has not started processing. Once the kernel reads a Submission Queue Entry, it consumes that SQE and keeps track of command status using private memory, and a Completion Queue entry will not appear until the kernel is done handling that IO operation. So the Submission Queue size is not a limitation on how many in-flight/pending IOs there can be, just on how big a batch you can dump on the kernel at once. Of course, the kernel's internal limits on operation state tracking might be smaller or larger than the Submission Queue size.
Maybe no moral standing, but they still have legal standing.
So I have a use case that makes it interesting vs. my current cable provider even when I have the business level service. The power goes out here, either from winds, fires or PG&E shutoffs. Okay cool, have generator, solar, etc. Internet still goes down after a bit and stays down until power comes back because the cable providers node does not have enough power to deal with 18 hours of no power. With Starlink, I am going to be good. I am in SV so it is not like I am on a farm in the midwest someplace.
Does nothing for the current situation but helps us to understand future pandemic sources. If the virus escaped or was released from a specific source we can deal with the security of that location and others like it.

If it truly passed from a bat/pangolin/chicken, etc we can begin to deal with the sources of that vector.

This truly is a serious question that must be resolved.

I don't know about Ford, but Tesla will start with the more expensive version first.

Tesla has explained in detail in how they will get the cost down. Far more detail then anybody else by a large margin. Its all well documented and you will find 10+h of youtube videos and countless articles about it.

In Austin you will have a fully vertically integrated production facility almost from raw lithium hard-rock ore to a finished truck all in the same place. They are producing their own cathode materials, anode materials and battery cells, no paying profit to anybody else.

Even then I suspect the 40k version will not have Tesla usual margin.

Ford knows that F-150 is basically the lifeline of the company. The 40k version is a stripped down commercial version, I think normal consumers it starts at 52k and they hope to sell many of the longer range ones to make up margin. Ford profits from the ability to share a lot of production with existing F-150.

My comment was targeted to the person I replied to, which I interpreted as "managers only think in terms of time saved where as developers if merely left alone would roll it their own and save time and money", which is ridiculous. An engineer should think like their manager, and the manager should think like the engineer. A cost/benefit should be realized, and I think for the high majority of companies, you should not be rolling your own to save 500/year.

A newsletter is so different because merely this blogpost could have generated enough money/attention to warrant doing it, but there's an endless amount of reasoning that can be done to warrant both choices.
At the same time, the natural flow of capital is upward.

Yeah I think we're on the same page, no one should be able to censor speech that isn't hate speech is really the main point. And definitely no jurisdiction should be given to politicians.
OK, I generally agree with you about subjects like this. But let's take this one step further. What will the actual outcome of this be if we have deemed that Amazon is too big to be consumer-friendly.

1) Amazon drastically ramps up the burden of proof of real actual reviews, and rather than erring on the side of posting it ends up false-positively identifying customer reviews. HackerNews headline next week: "Amazon is censoring real customer reviews for products! Company no longer customer obsessed!"

2) Amazon dramatically cracks down on sellers, reducing overall inventory, and sucking up some real genuine sellers in the process. CNN headline: "Amazon destroying small family business sellers - hundreds reporting going out of business as they're being driven out of the market". Hackernews headline: "Amazon inventory down x%. I no longer go to Amazon anymore to find what I need because it's not available any more".

I could keep going.

My point is I don't think it's in any consumer's interest for Amazon to decrease their inventory, or crack down on reviews. And any increase in quality or human review of the products or reviews will only raise prices, which again, people don't want.

Remember - Amazon's stock price isn't based on their profits. Their profit margins are razor thin because they actually generally do pass on most cost savings down to customers.

It's incredible how people take completely for granted that there is a website with 1) Infinite selection, 2) Low prices (yes yes no longer the lowest but still fairly low), 3) Free shipping, in many cases same day or next day or 2-day.

And on top of that there is a completely hassle-free non-questions-asked return policy.

The cost of all this is this marketplace is incredibly attractive to unscrupulous sellers who will abuse it to list counterfit goods and spam fake reviews. And no matter how hard Amazon works on these the sellers can be just one step ahead.

Government regulation can't help here, it can only kill Amazon and make it ultimately less beneficial for consumers.

In fairness, "just use Rc<>/Arc<>/clone()/etc" is common advice from the Rust community in response to criticism that the borrow checker puts an undue burden on code paths which aren't performance sensitive.

> If you find yourself slapping Mutexes and Arc/Rc all over the place it probably means that there's something messed up with the way you modeled data ownership within your program.

It only means that the data model doesn't agree with Rust's rules for modeling data (which exist to ensure memory safety in the absence of a GC). This doesn't mean that the programs the user wants to express are invalid. And this really matters because very often it doesn't make economic sense to appease the borrow checker--there are a lot of code paths for which the overhead of a GC is just fine but lots of time spent battling the borrow checker is not fine, and I think Rust could use a better story for "gracefully degrading" here. I say this as a Rust enthusiast.

EDIT: I can also appreciate that Rust is waiting some years to figure out far it can get on its ownership system alone as opposed to building some poorly-conceived escape hatch that people slap on everything.

Well the same mine, on the same 1300 ft level, had a water intrusion related collapse about 10 years prior that killed 4 miners. Without any oil drilling going on in the area.

Part of the engineering involved in the design of these mines is based on leaving enough salt, such that X" of salt on the surfaces will be dissolved by the mine eventually being flooded, either intentionally or not. After that surface-salt is dissolved (and the water approaches being supersaturated brine), enough solid structural salt needs to be left to support all of the overburden, with some additional factor of safety.

Worst case would be some sort of underground fresh water river flowing through indefinitely.

But mine design incorporates ways to naturally seal off flooded areas, such that even if they are left "open" to some connection of water, the supersaturated brine will effectively plug that hole. Usually as simple as changing elevations so that a brine-water interface forms that blocks any natural flow.

And once water is supersaturated with salt, salt is no longer "hygroscopic", in the sense that it's no longer water, but brine.

+1 It can create a really toxic work culture. If I do work more its because I'm interested in a problem that I don't want to let sit till next week or the following day.

In general, I try to do this discretely by not pinging people outside working hours or trying to give impression I'm working late. Working late for me is usually working through code or a design at a time when I'm caught in it and don't want to let it sit until I solve it. If this happens I'll start late next day or reduce hours following week and I make sure I call this out during standup so my team knows why I'm signing off early.

It can become a snowball when one teammate sees another working and feels compelled to do same. Kudos to your manager for calling this out.

Ask HN: Which Web Front end Framework to choose?
Web is fast changing platform. I need to choose good Frontend Framework for SPA that i want to develop. I want it to be stable and efficient.

I think that these are the choices: Vuejs , ReactJS and SvelteJS .

So,which one would you prefer and why? if it's other choice than the above , please tell. I am not here to start war but want to know your preference, that's it. Static rendering is not feasible as it's displaying dynamic data.

Please suggest
I find it unusual that people can think this came from a 'wet market'. Those people will go as far as verbally attacking you if you suggest it originated or leaked from within a lab. Furthermore those people will claim it doesn't matter where it came from. The aggressive response seems agenda driven.
It may not have been. The author of Urbit is Moldbug, who is... controversial.

On the other hand, I just read the article, and none of it seems particularly bad faith. I vaguely remember something about Urbit using planets and galaxies as some kind of ownership metaphor, so I expected the article to go on at length about how strange this seems. But it seems to be focusing on the technical aspects of Urbit, and is pretty clinically detached.
My point is that it's better than the alternative.

Have you worked at a start-up? Or in a field new to you, or new altogether? No amount of well-intended deliberate design will make up for domain expertise. Ever. The best you can do is mitigate as much future refactoring as possible, but eve than that's not always the best use of time.

> Designing business processes must be done with the same deliberate effort

That's not always realistic. Businesses processes solve existing problems, sometimes tackle new problems, but just like data models hindsight is 20/20. And just like data models, business processes are constantly evolving and never done.
