It doesn't really FEEL like Windows has this kind of market share, does it? I think if you could factor out corporate sales data from market share figures, this would be much more instructive, and would explain why Windows is no longer driving the computing world. From my circle of family, friends, and acquaintances, I think the desktop market share is more like 50/50 (vs Mac) when people are voting with their own dollars.

I'd make payments a prominent, application-native, easy to use feature from Day 1, right down in the network protocol level. 100% of the transaction would be transferred from the user to the service owner without a middle-man service taking a cut (payment gateway fees not withstanding). That way there wouldn't be any need to rely on advertising, app stores, or external subscriptions to run something on the internet.

Verifiable identity. We need to be able to verify the source of all data on the network, even if that's just proving the source IP address, or better yet the physical location it came from. People often argue that anonymity by default is a good thing, but I argue that trust of origin by default is better.

You can still strip identification for things like posting in public forums, but for everything else knowing where shit came from is critical. From spam email to well everything. It baffles me that spoofing callerID is not only possible but that some people think its important.

Along these lines I have a pet idea that a subset of IPv6 be geo-located, meaning your latitude, longitude, and possibly altitude are encoded in the IP address. This allows routing without the huge tables in the routers. Combined with the ability to verify that a packet came from its advertised location this is very powerful for security.

One way to verify the origin of data (email for example) is not to send it, but to send something akin to a URL (preferably better than that) so we have to at least be able to request the data from somewhere rather than have it sent to us anonymously.

Unfortunately being able to verify the source of data also enables end-to-end encryption fairly easily and nobody in power wants the public to anything like that...
I think this is a good TLDR from WSJ:

My point is that it's seems a little optimistic to think that a free market for healthcare is an adequate solution, given that no free market healthcare system exists anywhere at scale. I think some markets are simply inappropriate for free markets - particularly one where services are by definition specialized and market feedback involves failures in critical life risking situations.

I don't particularly mind censorship, I acknowledge that it's a privilege that comes with power, but the attitude of these people is something else.

They are cowards. They don't own it, they act like their hand is being forced. It's always "a shame it's come to this". It's never their responsibility, it's always the fault of those they disagree with.

Unlike this current progressive/Zionist hegemony, I can't think of any powerful right/White/conservative movement that has acted in such an underhanded way towards its enemies. We own it. We ban and condemn, and tell you exactly why.

When we censor, we are proud to censor, because we know it's right. Either these people don't feel the same, or they're deliberately antagonistic.
I'm planning to build a business on this, so probably won't open-source it--but I'm always looking for interesting things to write about! I write a weekly newsletter called Future of Discovery[1]; I might write up some more implementation details there in a week or two. In the mean time, most of the heavy lifting is done by the Surprise python lib[2]. It's pretty easy to play around with, just give it a csv of <user id>, <item id>, <rating> and then you can start making rating predictions. Also fastText[3] is easy to mess around with too. Most of the code I've written just layers things on top of that, e.g. to handle exploration-vs-exploitation as discussed in another thread here.

Recently I've been factoring out the ML code into a separate recommendation service so it can different kinds of apps (I just barely made this essay recommender system[4] start using it for example).

Decentralisation in that you'd preferentially download 'web' content via your friends. Every house has an always-on server and networking hardware to enable selected local connections (long range WiFi?) across town with no reliance on an ISP.
Think Wikipedia content living in tens of millions of locations around the world, with updates being pushed out with versioning and flagging if your extended network lacks consensus on a change.
It is a nice sounding claim and I hope you're right. I consider myself a critical thinker, but I'm not sure it's leading to my being more correct or better informed about things.

It seems that the deluge of content available today guarantees that whatever view you're even mildly sympathetic toward will get reinforced, and then you are immediately placed on a slope toward the extremes (in terms of other recommended content).

One of the few antidotes I've seen to this has been the emergence of long-form podcasting where conversations are still allowed to meander, dwell on minor points, or become boring. It seems harder for people to shill for multiple uninterrupted hours at a time.

And yet if you rely on this as a source of information you can't pick very many topics to be informed about given the constraint of time.
Actually, it will be easier to show any labor law violations with an automated system. Any kind of wrongful termination or bias will be easy to show in the logs.

I really liked Cliff Click's talk on why transactional memory didn't live up to it's promises (at least for accelerating general purpose locking of Java code not written specifically for transactional memory).

Cliff Click — The Azul Hardware Transactional Memory experience

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEkeOHw87Sg

TL;DW: Transactional memory sort of promised lock elision to speed up gratuitously lock heavy code, particularly for read heavy workloads. Think a caching hash map that only has the occasional writer. It didn't live up to that since the max transaction size is really easy to overflow (far easier than you may think), and general code has a nasty habit of writing metrics even in read cases which means that transactions all write to the same address, which means constant transaction conflicts, which means slower code than just using a lock. Cliff Click then makes the argument that the right move in the vast majority of cases if you're having lock contention is to rewrite the algorithm so that threads (or at least cores) communicate via messages and share nothing rather than trying to use transactional memory so that you can cleanly fork out across a cluster rather than being constrained to a single box still after the rewrite. And for context he comes to that conclusion while working on massive 768 core boxes where the value add is "we sell you a giant non-NUMA single box that absolutely eats Java for breakfast, lunch, and dinner".

Even if you read the TL;DW, I still encourage you to listen to his talk; he's an incredibly smart engineer and I learn something pretty much every time I listen to him.
On HN we try to go by article quality, not site quality. Sites that mostly produce bad and/or offtopic articles for HN sometimes still produce good and ontopic ones sometimes.

We do put a standard downweight on major media sites, though, especially ones focused on politics. politico.com has had that for years, but politico.eu didn't. I've done that now.

“Meyerhof was about to pass on down the list when the summons came.

It wasn’t really a summons. No one could summon a Grand Master. It was only a message that Division Head Trask would like very much to see Grand Master Meyerhof if Grand Master Meyerhof could spare him the time.

Meyerhof might, with impunity, have tossed the message to one side and continued with whatever he was doing. He was not subject to discipline.

On the other hand, were he to do that, they would continue to bother him—oh, very respectfully, but they would continue to bother him.”

Indeed. A good login form will give away nothing about whether or not the attempt failed because the username doesn't exist or because the password was wrong, or anything that leaks to a malicious party information. There's always a balance between security and convenience, and where that balance lies is determined by your threat model. It's almost universally an anti-pattern to respond in a way that lets a potential attacker that they've found a valid username for your site.
Sure, my bad. You know what I mean though.

Very similar although in an ECS the relationship is backwards, Entities get behaviour based on what data they contain rather than getting behaviour from traits and needing to add state to make them work.

The ECS approach can lead to some confusing things like adding a component to an Entity and having strange behaviour result as a system the programmer didn’t expect to be triggered is run. This can lead to systems having quite complex definitions based not just on the components the system needs to run but also on the components that shouldn’t be present and so on.
Yes, why did they choose not to take it? Try to empathize with these people. Why did they do something so dangerous? Then follow it one step further. In the case of those that died, why did they die? What factors contributed to their death? If the price of insulin had been lower, and everything else was the same, would they have died?

I would argue these two statements are equivalent:

- My patient was killed by the high price of insulin.

- If the price of insulin had been lower, my patient would still be alive.

I suspect that you accept the second statement, but not the first. What's the difference?

Green and digital are the major pillars of the EU vision. Its a genuine and positive vision, certainly distinct from the US/Chinese versions. There is some skepticism that the vision will ever translate to an alternate proposal. Politicians jumping on bandwagons, talking a good talk, distributing some funds in scatter gun fashion and hoping something will stick... In the end the innovation and breakthroughs will come probably more on the green than the digital side. There is very strong engineering tradition whereas digital somehow was always basically outsourced to the US.
> How cheap is the cheap option

About $25, that last I checked. The ones you're talking about, I believe, are the "newer" ones (which are not very new). The prices of those have shot up over the years (in the US) for no good reason. It's shameful.
Observation: That's how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel flourished and then stagnated and ultimately died when facing competition from the more "free" Internet. (Still upvoted you.)
Saying that cheap insulin kills people seems like a hyperbolic, but essentially true statement.

It's well known that you need to keep all sorts of things under control with type 1 to avoid long-term health complications. Blood sugar is the most obvious.

I watched my father manage his for decades, starting in the 1980s. The technology improvements were interesting - his first insulin pump (about the size of a VHS tape), the custom software to data-dump his glucose meter, "supply-hacking" to keep the infusion sets affordable...

He still had management challenges despite being a dedicated, disciplined, marathon-running Mormon on the leading-edge of treatment. He was fortunate enough to be involved in the DCCT/EDIC trials at the University of Washington, and took the early lessons about future complications very seriously.

You make Diabetes harder to manage by removing modern improvements to the standard of care, and you are certainly going to see increases in deaths and severe negative outcomes.

I don't see the HN example. It has my email address. The only sites/apps/services that would apply here are those that could get by with zero ability to communicate with you outside the site. For instance, if they don't have either your phone or your email, how would you reset your password? How would your identity be verified, assuming other parts of your identity mattered. There may be a use case for what you're saying, but it seems like an extreme corner case.
And that's $17/hr * 40hrs * 50weeks = $34,000 / year. A single person could be comfortable on that kind of money, but they won't exactly living the luxury life either. I think that's a pretty reasonable baseline for a full-time-employed resident of the USA.

You can try to convert you current place to live off-grid, but you mention protecting your possessions too. This makes me think that you think these disruptions will be severe, and that if you have something others don't, then they might be inclined to take it or vandalize it.

Political problems are when people can't agree on what they want. For example some fraction of the population wants to be on standard time year round, another part wants to be on DST year round, and a third part wants to alternate. What one group would call a solution, the others would call a problem, and the only option is some negotiated consensus.

For real problems though, where the affects are real and calculable, there is no such thing as a political solution. If you find yourself saying "we have the means to do this, but we can't get people to do it" then you should ask why not? It's too expensive compared to alternatives? Use technology to reduce costs. It's not safe enough? Use technology to add safety systems. It requires too much effort? Use technology to make it easier. And so on and so forth.

Politics can't make a real problem go away, it can only avoid or hide the issue. Forcing people to use a more expensive power source doesn't solve the cost problem, it just chooses to ignore it. Maybe with subsidies you can reduce the cost on the books, but that just hides the cost elsewhere in a more easily ignored form. Banning something may avoid the costs, but it also removes the benefits. If you distribute the problem out over enough people, or concentrate the problem on a sufficiently small and isolated minority, you can reach a point where most of society doesn't care about the problem, but it's still there and unsolved.

Thinking of things as political problems leads to innaction. It is easy to scapegoat the persistence of a problem on the other side refusing to cooperate, rather than addressing the shortcomings of your proposal. Further, there is a strong incentive never to actually fix the problem as once you do, the issue that unites your constituency behind you will no longer be present. Finally, political solutions promote false dichotomies - our solution is better than theirs so you should support our solution, and any criticism of our solution will just be cannon fodder for the other side to use to promote theirs.

Yes, many people will sometimes propose technical solutions that are dumb and in no way an improvement over the current situation, but that does not mean technical solutions do not exist. A monorail isn't a better public transit option than a train, but the fact is there are real, unsolved technical issues with public transit that make construction and operation in many cases expensive and inconvenient, and just waving a pen won't make it inexpensive and convenient. I don't know what a better solution will look like, but it is entirely rational to search for one.

>Knight lost half a billion dollars in 30 seconds and not a single trade was reversed. If anything similar happened to any major hedge fund or market maker, nothing would get reversed.
