I can’t get over how much the financial media drumbeats the idea that companies compete with better working conditions. They do not on any appreciable timescale - the best you get is a bigger signing bonus or one time benefit. At the top 1% they compete on perks, but the rest simply do not do anything about the fact they can’t hire, despite their complaints. It’s a particular dissonance that I think must come from MBA and business school cargo culting. The world would be such a nicer place if companies actually competed for labor instead of collectively kept all wages and benefits at their absolute minimum. This of course doesn’t happen, but to hear that it is somehow is extra infuriating.

> modern America’s ability to build anything big any more.

The first transcontinental railroad took 6 years to 1,900 miles. All the grading, track laying, and bridge construction was done by muscle. Black powder was used for the tunnels, but the holes to put the power in were bored by hand.

In contrast, Seattle Transit will take 30 years to build 22 miles of track, with modern construction equipment, and that's in the remote possibility they'll be on schedule.

Seattle used to have rail networks. The right-of-ways are still there, but Sound Transit very carefully avoids using them. Nobody is ever able to explain why. Some even still have rusting rail on them, while the ST crews are blasting new right of way a block over.
This is an old article that compares tires in the 20-25mm range. The bike industry has moved to wider tires and 25 or 28mm tires are now quite common on road bikes, and gravel bikes have much wider tires. I would be the optimum is around 25 or 28 for road bikes on typical roads, especially as aerodynamics become a bigger factor.
Hilarious that Microsoft is clearly attempting to do this exact thing to the Wikipedia article describing them doing it.

The article may not do a good job highlighting where the left moves right but I believe that is because that movement is the status quo given obstruction on the right.

Remember when "$2,000 checks out the door immediately" became $1,400 checks after weeks of delays and the left leaning media outlets and thus liberals went along with it?

Remember when Biden dropped plans to help out with student loan debt and nobody batted an eyelid?

Remember when Medicare-for-All and Green New Deal were things liberals pretended to care about?

The left constantly moves right by accepting the status quo. They don't need to document specific examples in an article because it is the basis behind every major policy topic for at least the last 10 years.

I mean that even such a range doesn’t really say anything because it doesn’t describe what is included in the valuation. Is it nav, npv or are some future cash flows also included? It’s up to the person giving the valuation to describe.
Nice! It looks good, I’ll try it for a while.
That seems right. Businesses aren't islands, they work with other businesses to provide their services. But you as a business have an issue with a vendor/supplier, that's still on you. If McDonalds can't get fries, I don't blame farmer X for a failed harvest, I blame McDonalds for a fragile supply chain.

I think you've mistaken my assertion.

HA are perfectly entitled to continue including the package. The NixOS dev opening that thread was doing so with the intent of warning them about a potentially problematic upstream maintainer. There's an argument to be made that that dev was overstepping, but they weren't making any demands: their intent was informational.

The community response was multiple HA admins expressing the opinion that NixOS should remove the package. That's definitively overstepping on their part, and completely against what open source is about.

This reminded me of an old political cartoon I saw at the Abraham Lincoln museum: https://www.loc.gov/resource/pga.04994/

It shows Lincoln with his (supposed) supporters and their requests, one of whom is depicted as saying, "I want a hotel established by government, where people that ain't inclined to work can board free of expense, and be found in rum and tobacco."

>I almost envy countries that focus on almost militaristic rote practice. For some of my foreign educated colleagues, there is little in the way between wanting to accomplish something and accomplishing it.

It has its downsides. I had mostly bad experience working with software developers from rote learning cultures, because you may guess it, they tend to execute but not think about it. IMO the main worth of a software developer is unpacking customer requirements and getting them to make logical sense so that a computer can understand them.

If you don't question anything coming from authority, i.e. the customer, due to your upbringing, you're already off to a bad start.

Because executing without thinking is not what you hire the humans to do, it's what the computer does.

Day after day for two years, MSNBC and CNN hosts and guests went on and on about how Trump was beholden to Putin. There was a "pee pee tape", remember? There were deals that Trump and Trump Jr. made in a Trump Tower meeting that would give Putin certain guarantees in exchange for his help in getting Trump elected. Pulitzers were given to newspapers that printed one breathless anonymously-sourced accusation after another.

None of it turned out to be true. When you compare the Adam Schiff memo release with the Devin Nunes memo, you can see that Nunes' memo was accurate. Schiff's memo was full of misinformation. Schiff was one of those guests who appeared on CNN and MSNBC over and over, claiming that there was evidence for "Russia collusion with the Trump campaign". He later had to retract that repeated lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q2su1iknyk

Mueller and his team of Democrats instead tried to make a case for obstruction against a President who waived all executive and even most of his attorney-client privilege. Even the impeachment-hungry Democrats in the House couldn't mount impeachment charges on that weak claim.

What a waste all that was, and it was egged on and sometimes even fabricated at every turn by CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and WaPo.

But keep pretending that Fox News is some big boogeyman or even an outlier in the news business.
So, I wouldn't expect them to be slower (except in the most extreme cases with aerodynamics), since you can make anything go fast with enough power.

But along that line of thinking, I would expect larger tires to require more energy to keep at speed. A larger tire with a a larger contact patch implies a greater deformation of the tire, which in turn implying greater energy loss.

Cars, using a measurement of gas mileage, have shown this. Smaller contact patches (a condition created with over-inflated tires) result in higher gas mileage, whereas larger contact patches (under-inflated tires) lower gas mileage.

I didn't see this addressed directly, that I saw.

"If you still have surplus after all that, mine bitcoin and use it to fund"

Or maybe use it to power factories that make hundred dollar bills?

Sorry, but Bitcoin does not create a net increase in value for all the energy dumped into it. As you described it, it is simply an elaborate way to waste resources.
Excessive sentencing, as I think happened here, I believe goes hand in hand with political verdicts because the judges are required to ignore any mitigating factors out of hand entirely in justification of their decision.

I've just seen the same steeling of physical appearance happen to friends, sadly. My attorney for one. I got accidentally caught up in something that has led to situations such as the rewriting of articles on globally highly trusted news sites. Without trying to mitigate anything, any man or woman who is confronted with the true disparity of actual power, push comes to shove, reacts like this. A more cynical view that I could imagine my father coming up with would be this is merely proof of how easy life is today. My father was born into no question about it poverty in 1907? The experience of the great depression turned him into a notable community banker on his uncanny ability to correctly determine the credit worthiness of mortgage borrowers with virtually zero statistical data. Left school at 14, night school, ended up getting roasted on TV for his political views of keeping profit motive out of housing finance. This is my prime example of comparative social mobility, rather than just a family anecdote. Victor Neiderhoffer in his book The Education of A Speculator, published in time to describe the precise way he went bust during the Thailand currency collapse, is excellent description of what early century Brighton Beach and environs poverty and opportunities looked and felt like. Neiderhoffer sold everything he owned to scrape back to make his investors whole, took him twenty years while appearing to do a crackpot number as a very difficult to understand journalist complete with cult following, but I never believed that, some people are forever shaped by experiences of poverty, even if indirectly, and abhor to the point of physical intolerance, any idea of going down as a historical destroyer of capital. Just as the modern economy has created a incredible new complexity in between anyone less than fortunate, and a liveable (ie not life curtailing) middle class (the American definition of economic lifestyle, European class ideas are too "nuanced" to put it politely), there has created a incredible burden of legal complexity bearing down indiscriminately on simple citizens and more than ever those among us naively convinced of the acceptance and value of civic virtues.
Super interesting product. Would it be possible for me to use this with images I find online?
Put this here to see what the HN community thinks of this trend and the 2024 projection.
This, and a wider tire also has a larger front surface, resulting in more aerodynamic resistance. As every watt counts in the pro peloton, this is an important factor. For us amateur riders, probably not so much.
Interesting, that's the first I've read of the selective editing claim. It seems like there is some room for ambiguity (What if RevoluSec intentionally withheld these emails to discredit wikileaks? Is RevoluSec CIA/NSA?) but certainly shifts my bayesian priors a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Short of evidence that they published falsehoolds, I'd still argue that "disinfo" is a misnomer. But your above points certainly demonstrate biased reporting, as is found in any other journalistic organization.
My thoughts as well. She obviously did something wrong and should be punished, but man, so many more powerful people have gotten away with way less punishment for much worse transgressions.

> If instead of packing these separately, the home assistant nixpkg for home assistant simply downloaded all the required dependencies from PyPi, and verified them against a maintained list of checksums as part of the nixpkg (for reproducibility), then frenck probably would not object to that

From what I can tell the Home assistant core team doesn't not want to deal with any other installation variants than their own supported ones. Their user base consists of a lot of technical tinkering people (hobbyists, electricians, etc) but those who don't necessarily have Linux sysadmin skill's. So you could say they are skilled enough to get themselves in any of a hundred different configuration scenario's that would then need to be debugged by the HA developers for each support ticket. For a developer knowing the installation environment is at least sane is a great help.

That said, Home assistant does lend a lot of its growth to open source contributions, collaboration and being free software. If it was not as open in the beginning it might not have gathered enough attention to grow its current size. Cutting off developments in other directions like this to me feels against what FOSS stands for.
>> Many years of corporations "boiling the frog" and slowly lowering flexibility and not improving pay have been reset.

I think it depends on where you work and how the executives care or don't care about their employees.

I was working at a large corporation during the 08' recession. They took away all of our perks (free coffee, free milk, bottled water, bonuses, christmas parties with bonuses, etc) all in one year and then never brought them back which resulted in a steady flow of people quitting.

Likewise, I was at a much smaller family run company shortly after the aforementioned big corporation (less than 300 employees) and we had amazing Cadillac health care, yearly bonuses and generous salary increases and four weeks of vacation (double the norm at any other company) to start. Most of the company employees were 'lifers' for obvious reasons.

Right now? I work at a huge health care company. Its somewhere in the middle. We get a lot of technology perks, three weeks vacation, decent salary increases and yearly bonuses that are competitive. The health care plans ironically are some of the worst I've had, but its offset by the other things I get.

Everything is relative and I think people just need to find what works best for them. Its also a great time for all the people complaining they can't seem to find work anywhere. LOTS of mid tier gigs right now for those who want to get out there and find a solid gig, instead of staying home and collecting unemployment to the tune of $1,200/month.
I say "please no" for other reasons.

The web is already ridiculously feature-bloated. The scope of it is reckless. The madness of adding new features to a browser for every little use case needs to end.
Lower the price of electricity when there is a surplus, and people and industry will figure out a way to use it, including charging batteries.
I think “good judgment” is somewhat relative. She was in her early 20s at the time. I think it’s hard to grasp the reality of potential legal consequences and the full weight of the American government at that age.
> But this is a critique of open source as a whole. The maintainer (or the team) will have final say and control about the product they built. If the product is extensively used, then that team will have heavy influence.

It's not, really. Yeah, maintainers of large projects have large influence over that particular project but much of open source is insulated from the real world through various abstractions, including the web.

Developers of React might have a lot of influence over how programmers approach web development but that's not something visible to end users. When Google pushes something like WebP to the web, it becomes a standard simply because it's supported by Chrome and not because of any process of standardization outside of Google. Safari only just added support for WebP last year but if a website used WebP without a fallback to jpeg/png then the website becomes functionally worse and is visibly broken to consumers.

> These new APIs will be used by early adopters and if they provide actual value, they should be added to the other browsers. One would think most production apps will not use Chrome only APIs until they are supported by all major browsers.

There are many many cases online of websites that simply do not function at all correctly on Safari and/or Firefox because they do use chrome-only APIs or they only test their web apps on Chrome. There are large corporations whose web apps (like their online shops) don't even work correctly on iOS' browsers. One would think, but reality doesn't match your expectations.

> Apple and Microsoft had a chance to compete with Chrome early on but brushed it aside. When Chrome added search in the URL bar, it was innovative. When they add new APIs now, it's too much?

Improvements made to user chrome has no implications on the web as a whole. Adding search to the address bar doesn't make Youtube or Gmail function worse on other web browsers.

I think it's important that browsers are able to improve the web. I'm not against the idea of Google proposing adding new functionality through new APIs. The problem is that they can do that without any oversight from anyone else. They create a new technology that is controlled by them and introduce it to the web where they already have massive influence (#1 search, #1 video website, #1 email, etc) and expect everyone else to simply fall in line. Companies like Mozilla don't have any recourse here. No single company should have that much influence over the web.

Yet here we are where one company has control over some of the biggest websites on the web while having influence over how visible any other website is due to being the biggest search engine on the web while also controlling the browser that everyone is using while also controlling the operating system that is the most used in the world all while being a company that their primary business is harvesting people's information to serve targeted advertisements.
> Censorship historically means the initiation of force by the state

No, it doesn't, it historically means action by any locus of institutional power to control speech (and, before and directly inspiring that, specifically the review by particular officials of the Roman Catholic Church in the process of pre-publication review of material to assure it was free of doctrinal error.)
I'll second that, FitBod was the single best investment I made during the pandemic. Partially because I didn't invest in AMD, Netflix, Zoom, Gamestop, AMC, Bitcoin or Doge; but also because it taught me how to work out!
> In Formula 1 racing, you go through multiple tires in one race.

They could easily make a tyre which lasts the length of a race, but they mandate pit stops and two different tyre compounds to add interest - teams can use the mandatory pit stop to “undercut” or “overcut” competitors.

In fact, IIRC, for the 2005 season, changing tyres mid race for anything other than safety reasons was banned.

> In consumer driving, tires are expected to last 100,000 km or more.

This is much closer to 25,000-50,000km, and peaking at 70,000km. Source: https://www.pirelli.com/global/en-ww/road/how-many-kilometre...

Interestingly, the Irish Times coverage of this change in Irish law¹ has:

> Security sources said the person refusing to surrender their password would have to be a suspect in a crime and trying to obstruct the investigation of that core offence before they would be convicted over the password refusal.

It’s annoying that media coverage (by the “newspaper of record”) would rather cite speculation by anonymous sources rather than link directly to the text of the actual Bill. It’s only when I check the discussion on Hacker News that the source is directly referenced.

On the other hand, the state broadcaster does not even deem this proposed change to Irish law to be newsworthy enough to warrant coverage on its news website².

Somewhat Off Topic: The typesetting of the Bill itself is woeful and really impacts on readability of the text. It seems like the content was copied and pasted from multiple sources into MS Word without any consistent styling or indentation to reflect the hierarchy of bullet pointst.
