This predictability only matters for frequent, repeat customers. But those are the exact customers that you could just email saying "the website is going to be down on Sunday for 1 hour for planned maintenance" a few times a year when it's actually required.

If you run a business (eg. HFT where you run certain cleanup scripts after trading hours) where regular planned downtime is fine then go for it but most of the time, you don't need a downtime schedule every single week because you're not doing planned maintenance work every single week.

No, the argument people are making is that the interest rates associated with forcing inflation down further increase the returns the wealthy make lending money and the price the poor and people creating jobs for the poor pay to borrow money. We already have a legislated inflation target: it's 2%. We tried screwing around with raising interest rates to whatever level was necessary to try to hold absolute dollar amounts below a certain level instead in the early Reagan years and it was a quickly-abandoned disaster.

The argument that imposing restrictions on the quantity of new assets the rich have already have lots of and the poor don't and need to borrow them would benefit the poor is the economic equivalent of positing a flat earth
$185k/48 = $3.85k in monthly costs saved by not living independently. I can see it as being possible in Seattle, but on the high end. I would assume comparable abodes to sharing your parents house would be cheaper.

I also would not have wanted to stay with my parents in my 20s though, at least not with my specific parents.

Generally they do yes. Average wage in 1970 was about $3.40 an hour, which is about $23.60 today when inflation linked.

Today average wage is $25.60/hr

But that's only part of the story - while wages haven't gone down over the last 50 years, the economy has increased, and normal people haven't benefited from that increase unless they've been able to pump their money into things like stocks. That means those who had wealth and no debt back in 1970 are doing great (put $1k in the Down Jones in 1970, reinvest the dividends, and instead of an inflation linked $7k, you'd have a whopping $260k today)

This means that boomers (the ones with most of the wealth and control) are very rich, but Gen-X and especially millennials are massively lagging behind where previous generations were.
People use 'living at home' as a stand-in for a set of properties: unemployed or lowly employed, low ambition, single, excess time on entertainment, etc.

Of course they aren't always true individually (I know some of my facebook colleagues lived at home) but from a rough demographic perspective, it's true.

We do this a lot: consider that teen pregnancy is understood to be unwanted, thwarting educational opportunities, etc. but in some religious communities a 17 year-old might be married and ready to bear children. It's just that's a very small proportion, and doesn't diminish that teen pregnancy is generally considered a problem.

> Haven't we learned that the "break 'em up" fix for monopolies doesn't achieve the desired results?

What do you think are failed examples of this?

Even though you had eventual re-consolidation, the post-breakup phone industry seemed like a much more interesting and competitive place than the one before it. The fix for re-consolidation, of course, could be pretty simple...

Very few people want to do the harder, more innovative, more interesting thing if they can make a comfortable living doing what they've always done. This applies to regulators as much as to companies. We haven't found any better tool to force companies to be in touch with their customers and do what the customers want than competition, but we also have an economic system that encourages consolidation (because competition is HARD!). So the role of government to break things back up to keep competitive incentives feels quite natural. The market isn't gonna do it itself.
Are you asking why it freaked out real FBI agents or the ones in lozaning's imagination?

The FBI doesn't give a single damn hoot about "data exfiltration" via blockchain metadata. Anyone with half an understanding of any of those terms knows what an absurd implication that is.

For concerns about "data exfiltration", discussing blockchain doesn't even make a single damn bit of sense. Blockchain is about impermanence and publishing, not about "exfiltration".

I'm not sure which is more amusing, thinking that the FBI would give a hoot about b64-encoded data in the metadata of a transaction, or that this person wrote that comment on HN to try and seem cool. LOL, what, the FBI reached out to them (how?/why? nothing about this makes sense)?
The OP edited their comment, now mine no longer makes sense.
But does education need to look like universities and colleges? Education used to look (for most people) like apprenticeships, which is more like a tutoring approach without study of anything unnecessary to your trade.

Maybe a better system in modern times would be a combination of mentoring with official recommendations and travel (to broaden horizons).

I'll offer an illustration. We sell our SaaS at X. We have a customer that needed stronger SLAs and servers located in Europe. They pay 8X and (I think) both sides feel like they got a great deal.

I'm not sure what distinction you're drawing. Expressing spike protein and being destroyed by the immune system is a disruption of the normal cellular function. No, mRNA in general is not toxic but the mRNA vaccines specifically absolutely are. That's the entire point of them, to train the immune system by actually giving it targets to practice on. However the targets are our own cells, in this case.

We could go the non mrna route and grow it as a virus, but that is going to be less accurate, more costly, and take longer.

These are things that concern vaccine makers for understandable commercial reasons, but what you're saying is that there's effectively no difference to the recipient beyond the fact that the artificial self-replicating mRNA might be higher "quality" in some way.

Let's put it like this: given the apparently low probability of being infected (for people my age, in a way that we actually notice, at current prevalence levels etc), most of us actually can choose "no vaccine and no virus". Or put another way we can choose between guaranteed cell damage from vaccines, or the chance of cell damage from virus the exact probability of which is some integral of prevalence, individual risk behavior, how quickly you get treated (e.g. with ivermectin), and how many people around you are vaccinated. To me it looks like a good tradeoff to not take the vaccine, especially when so many other people are: the chance of avoiding cell damage entirely is really quite high, and I like my body spike-free. Stories like the Reuters article this thread is about just reinforce that decision.

I can see some app store regulation coming (which will have minimal impact on big tech's profits), but there just isn't enough political support for breaking up America's success-story companies. It's not gonna happen.

But still you can try making it harder to access by cutting the major distribution channels, which perhaps will significantly reduce its propagation velocity. With whatever technologies that refuse to fix this issue, you cannot. This is a critical difference for law enforcement.
On the question of principles vs practicals... the principles sound great and all. I also appreciate that this takes advantage of the large number of mobile devices already out there, and encourages the development of rural internet.

But, I predict that the practicals are not going to be good. Bitcoin transaction fees are high. If anything, this is a gift to large criminal organizations with a large footprint in the country which will be far more able to make use of their BTC. The law enforcement arm of this will not be ready or able to deal with it.

In eastern europe the normal college-track educational path was to get a general education up until about thirteen which would cover the basics (what today we would consider a GED) and then you attend a gymnasium that focuses on a specific subject, for example music, or engineering, or foreign languages, etc. A thesis or project can be required to graduate from the subject which is then used as an entrance examination for a (three year) university, at which point you have what in the U.S. would be a strong masters degree. In the math gymnasiums, you not only learn calculus but also basics of abstract algebra, differential equations, topology, etc. Not advanced stuff, but basic stuff. But stuff that in the U.S. system is reserved for college, here it is taught in gymnasium (what used to be "prep" high school in the U.S.)

When you are young, that is the best time for you to learn these subjects. The only limitation is your ability to focus. For those who are young and are able to focus, they can do amazing things whether it is learning to play instruments, learning math, learning foreign languages, or learning any kind of trade. And historically pre-teens spent a lot of time learning, except it was with the family or another one-on-one apprenticeship scenario, so that by the time they reached teenager status they were already able to do useful stuff to support themselves and even got married. In modern societies, we tend to stretch education out farther and farther and simultaneously assume the young aren't able to learn as well as adults, when the opposite is true. Moreover we think that in the past, there was just less knowledge to absorb, but it is really the modern world in which de-skilling and mass production has made it so that a large proportion of the population is doing boring, repetitive, unskilled work, whereas in the past whether you were a baker or bricklayer or an organ player or a farmer you were doing skilled work, and you generally managed to learn the basics of that work before you became a teenager.

Always good to rehash the same exact conversation over and over for ... 13 years now. Can we at least pretend to learn something from every other time this exact conversation has played out?

I've been messing with NVMe over TCP at home lately and it's pretty awesome. You can scoop up the last-gen of 10GBe/40GBe networking on eBay for cheap and build your own fast disaggregated storage on upstream Linux. The kernel based implementation saves you some context switching over other network file systems, and you can (probably) pay to play for on-NIC implementations (especially as they're getting smarter).

It seems like these solutions don't have a strong authentication/encryption-in-transit story. Are vendors building this into proprietary products or is this only being used on trusted networks? I think it'd be solid technology to leverage for container storage.
They are able to do that de facto, just in some countries not by the rules. Traffic rules are very different than compulsory vaccination, the benefit/harm is much greater for traffic rules.
> Haven't we learned that the "break 'em up" fix for monopolies doesn't achieve the desired results?

Breaking up has achieved excellent results before, as far as I can tell. It's not a permanent solution to the problem, but neither is brushing my teeth.

It might be OK to have a process that needs to be periodically repeated when companies get out of control. It might even be preferable to large legislative efforts that significantly change what companies can and can't do. Are people really mad that maps show up in Google search, or are people mad that Google owns the world? I'm not sure, but maybe it's better to precisely target a temporary solution at the actual problem.

In general, I'm more on board with bills about vertical integration than I am with some other solutions people have proposed. But I'm also not necessarily opposed to skipping the whole thing and directly breaking up those companies instead. It seems to have had good effects in the past. And while I do think vertical integration is a problem, I'm not 100% certain that it's the biggest problem or that this is the best solution. I'm watching these bills kind of carefully.
Why did you start using Google in the first place? Their early papers on PageRank/BackRub describes how their algorithm filters for quality, and their most prominent example is explicitly political:

http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html

> As an example which illustrates the use of PageRank, anchor text, and proximity, Figure 4 shows Google's results for a search on "bill clinton". These results demonstrates some of Google's features. The results are clustered by server. This helps considerably when sifting through result sets. A number of results are from the whitehouse.gov domain which is what one may reasonably expect from such a search. Currently, most major commercial search engines do not return any results from whitehouse.gov, much less the right ones.

> ...The biggest problem facing users of web search engines today is the quality of the results they get back. While the results are often amusing and expand users' horizons, they are often frustrating and consume precious time. For example, the top result for a search for "Bill Clinton" on one of the most popular commercial search engines was the Bill Clinton Joke of the Day: April 14, 1997. Google is designed to provide higher quality search so as the Web continues to grow rapidly, information can be found easily.

You’re right, I guess as a Mac fan I’m biased. I’m used to having luxury features like local accounts and being allowed to disable updates. It’s not fair to expect that from Windows.
I think the slippery slope argument is almost always a fallacy. In practice you can say "we accept 99.99% availability" (which is about 1 hour every year) and budget for that. Your service might go down for unplanned reasons such as an outage but it could also go down for planned maintenance and as long as you're within that budget it seems ok.
Again “it depends on who you ask”. It’s easy to rationalize away smaller massacres as being less bad than other atrocities, but literally all of us would be saying something different if it was our friends or family members who had been disappeared by Pinochet.

This doesn’t make what China is doing okay, nor does China make our crimes matter less. That kind of morally relativistic thinking makes it way too easy to justify crimes against humanity.

I want every single app vendor to support Apple Pay because it's much safer and reveals far less private information. I want every single app vendor to support Apple's anonymous account registration process. I want every single app vendor to have to be approved to track users. I want every app to make recurring subscriptions easy to find.

If this could happen without the side effect of Apple bullying companies into giving up revenue, that'd be great.
I’m not saying that the two aren’t closely correlated... I’m saying that the policy isn’t there to punish fat people, it’s to protect the experience of the other people on the plane. A person shouldn’t pay full price for a ticket and then lose some of their already minimal real estate to another passenger.

In my case, everyone is supposed to be visibly wearing their company ID, on a necklace/lanyard or something like that. However even if challenged without one, "oh sorry, I left my ID at my desk" is likely to work. However everyone but brand-new employees is a least vaguely familiar to everyone else, so I'm not sure how easily a complete stranger would be able to move around.
Just a note, "right to work" and "at-will" are different

A “right to work state” is one in which the state has the authority to decide whether employees can be required to join a labor union as a condition of their employment.

California is an at-will employment state. At-will employment means that an employer can fire an employee for any reason or at any time.
My ISP (Comcast) emailed me yesterday with a 33% speed boost, for free. They just redefined the tier to be 800Mbps instead of 600. This anecdote does not invalidate your prediction, but the correct prediction is "we don't know" rather than stating your point with such certainty.

Can they? Sure. Have they indicated as such? No.
