Energy is the biggest problem, but it’s far from the only one.

Consider the ISM: at 0.086 c, ionised helium is the same thing as 14 MeV alpha radiation. Low density regions within the galaxy are 0.2–0.5 particles/cm^3; 0.2/cm^3 * 0.086 c is ~5e12 particles/m^2/second, or about 9.9 watts/m^2 if it was all He4 and therefore 14MeV/particle or about 2.5 W/m^2 for Hydrogen at the same speeds, which is bad enough given what keeping that up for years will do to any solid hull, but molecular clouds can be 10^2-10^6 particles/cm^3 and the upper bounds of that is ~10 MW/m^2.

Even without Relativity (which makes it worse), if you double the speed the kinetic energy per particle quadruples and you also double the number of particles per unit time.

I agree, but we aren't anywhere close to that level yet. For that to be true, I think the AI should possibly have the ability to explain the code it created. What we have now is basically a fancy markov adlib code completion tool.

A more intelligent agent should be able to tell you where it learned all of its knowledge from. I personally would like my AI to be above "gut level instincts" otherwise it reinforces blind trust.
There's definitely that possibility, which is exactly why I won't have similar "smarts" in my actual door locks.

> If you view GPL code with your browser would that mean that your browser now has to be GPL as well?

Some good responses in sibling comments already, but I don't see the narrow answer here, which is: No, because no distribution of the browser took place.

If you created a weird version of the browser in which a specific URL is hardcoded to show the GPL'd code instead of the result of an HTTP request, and you then distributed that browser to others, then I believe that yes, you'd have to do so under the GPL. (You might get away with it under fair use if the amount of GPL'd code is small, etc.)

The wealthy certainly enjoy special tax advantages, but this article should come as no surprise. You pay taxes when you sell your stock. So not selling any stock for a year and not taking a salary means you pay no taxes. That’s just like everyone else. Of course you can’t spend your money or diversity without selling, either, so it’s really more of a delayed tax.

What market did they destroy? The money went directly to US engineers and US drivers.

The US should be blessed that Saudi is so bad with its money and so willing to subsidize Americans.

It destroyed the money of people who had bought up medallions. That's it. Having medallions was not a long term solution when the city can now charge rideshare services for miles/minutes/rides on the road without any hard cap for politically connected incumbent players.
I'm guessing your use case is different. Solvespace doesn't need youtube for discoverability of these videos. These are not ad videos. They are tutorials. So why not host them on the same site as you host the software downloads?

I travel to India frequently. Before Uber (or their local variant, Ola) came along, getting a taxi was nearly impossible in middle-tier cities. The only option was an auto-rickshaw, whose drivers were notorious for gouging. And they formed a cartel: if you turned down one driver, the others would see that and refuse to give you a ride.

Uber was a god-send. You call up the driver, watch him approach on your phone, step out when he's there. Regardless of where you were, you could get a ride from there to wherever you were going. Rides for which auto-rickshaws used to charge upwards of Rs. 300 (~$4), can now be had for Rs 150 or less ( < $2 ).

Pushing it too far in, using water that is too hot, pushing the water in too fast. All can damage your ears.

I have had my ears syringed twice. In both cases at my doctor's surgery by a nurse. I visited my doctor because I started to notice that I was going deaf in one ear and ear drops didn't seem to work. Syringing worked perfectly and removed a surprising large amount of wax.

> how you can blame Uber for making society worse

There's a long, long, long list of reasons Uber has screwed over great many people, and continues to. From regulatory arbitrage, duping drivers into unprofitable deals, lack of proper insurance, privacy violations, harassing journalists, harassing employees... This has been covered non-stop on HN for pretty much a decade now. I invite you to do some searching, and you'll quickly see how Uber is one of the most ethically challenged companies of the 21st century.

> More predictable as in you know the fair before you get in.

Yes. And by higher-variance I meant that you never know what fare you'll have to either accept, or abandon the trip. With traditional taxis, the prices are variable, but it's easier to ballpark them (at least traveling in the city you know), and they have much tighter range.
I am assuming it would use tax dollars and farming techniques.

Be aware that the "fully encrypted on our server" path is still not going to satisfy many customers. At the least, many of them (like my employer) would want to insist on a "bring your own key" ability, and would ask a lot of questions about where your keys are stored, who has access to them, and what you have the ability to do.

Besides all of that, though, the "store files locally" option gives me the option to put those files anywhere, including in various cloud storage accounts of my own to share with other people, thus giving me a lot more flexibility and control over with whom and how I share meeting content. That might really be the better way to go.

Bitcoin is at 50% of the price it was not very long ago. Not sure if you'd call that a pop, but it's certainly got a leak.
The medallions were an economic tool, instituted during the Great Depression, to regulate a spiraling industry. Whether or not they “should” be valuable is a nonsense framing: they were introduced to enforce scarcity, which makes them valuable. Neither of us has to like them to recognize their outsized value and function in the welfare of a large number of peoples’ lives.

But to the larger point: medallions made NYC yellowcabs more expensive than the market demands, and they’re still cheaper than ridesharing.
Relativity means that by the time your space kids are on to the second generation of space labrador, you’ll be there.

Your first point was true, pre-pandemic. But is no longer true, at least not universally true. In some areas Uber and Lyft are now prohibitively expensive. What was once a $15 trip is now $40-50. You are better off going back to traditional taxi companies.

They have also become very unreliable, with no available drivers in some areas or 40+ minute wait times, and then the driver cancels. The majority of drivers switched to food delivery it seems. Pre-pandemic you could get a driver within 5 minutes no problem in some areas, and now may be waiting 30+ minutes.

I took a trip to Asheville and Uber/Lyft service was virtually non-existent, you had to rely on local cab companies to get around.
Yeah I don’t understand the parent comment’s gushing take on Uber/Lyft. I consider them a net positive but they are hardly a 100% win. In my area prices shot up from what they were 1-2 years ago, and many drivers barely break even (if they do) once you take into account maintenance costs on the car they drive.
Since it's a 25 minute video (ugh): what's the tl;dw for why biofuels are unscalable and worse for the environment?
It is interesting. One important difference is if the broker knows they have to pay the broker they are probably more likely to due their best to keep a tenant if they have to deal with it. The landlord also wants to make as much money while having a marketable rent - so its not like they don't care if they have to raise rent to cover expenses.

I still think having this on a platform where a company is making a flat $250 fee (or whatever) is extremely scalable for the company and would benefit both the landlord and tenants.
It seems to me that id id id ... id always has type a -> a. If you're referring to the type of the first id in the sequence, then what you're saying makes sense.

> I know it works in some form on most implementations even though it isn't legal.

it definitely does not, every time I had an ODR issue that caused actual bugs. For instance, dynamic_cast not working because a typeid was defined in two shared objects, etc.

What would be the behaviour you expect if you have

a.cpp:
int constant() { return 123; }

b.cpp:
int constant() { return 456; }

c.cpp:
int constant();
int main() { return constant(); }

how could you define this meaningfully other than "hard error" ?

e.g. here with gcc, if a and b are put into shared libraries, the return value depends on the order in which the libraries are passed to g++ when linking. e.g.

g++ c.cpp a.so b.so

calls the version in a.so, while

g++ c.cpp b.so a.so

calls the version in b.so
I want to do a basic thing in gimp, draw a circle. How do you do that? First you click the rectangle button, then you select "elipse select", then you select an area, then you click edit and fill with color. This flow is much more unintuitive compared to anything else I've seen, why would you click on the rectangle to draw an ellipse? And then suddenly that button is no an ellipse, so next time you want to draw a rectangle you now have to click on the ellipse button and switch it back to a rectangle.

And that is just one thing, the whole program is littered with small obnoxious design decisions like that. Maybe you can learn to get used to it after a while, but if you have to go through a tutorial and get lost the first 20 times you try to draw a basic shape then your drawing program has bad UX. In the end you will learn that the ellipse button and rectangle button are the same things etc, but until you learn all those things the program is just frustrating to use.
Not sure if it's accurate, but the feeling is that recently, tech companies went public before being profitable or while barely being so. On top of that, their valuation is higher on a PE ratio basis than classical ones.

So it feels that they'll have to change something big to meet expected returns.

And the fear is that, as they succesfully managed to kill the incumbent, they are free to change the most obvious parameter, the pricing.
Small props use barely any fuel per nautical mile, the actual extra cost here for a recreational pilot is absolutely tiny. A large 4X4 has a slightly smaller tank than a Cessna 172 and has nowhere near the range.

The outrage is misdirected. We are talking about negligible increase in cost here for general aviation.

Large interstellar objects are, well, large, so you can see them well in advance and just steer around them.

changing courses would be plain impossible

You can steer by vectoring your acceleration. It would take about 3 days for a 1G ship to travel from the Earth to the Sun, so it wouldn't add much time to the journey to steer around an object the size of the sun. Ideally you'd identify those objects so far in advance that it would take little course correction to go around them.

Smaller objects like asteroids that are too small to see in time to avoid would need to be absorbed by the shielding or destroyed or pushed away by some other method. At near relativistic speeds, this would obviously be a non-trivial problem to solve, but hey, you have unlimited energy to solve it.

I think you're confusing scenarios here. If you have known-good build, then there's no way it is compromised by regexp DOS attack - because that's the build that happened before the attack. So if you build that - setting aside the wisdom on doing that on a compromised system - the regexp DoS is not relevant. If you are building the modified code then one should definitely question why would you want to do something like that - build and deploy known compromised code.

That seems to be the root of your confusion - it's not that development system DoS is not bad, it's that if you are at the point it's possible your security is already broken in much bigger way. It's like complaining that running "rm -rf /" under root would wipe all your files and that's a DoS - without taking into account that if somebody could run commands under root on your system it's not your system anymore. It's not that wiping all the files isn't bad - it's that the reason for why the situation is bad is much earlier that that.
The alternative to surge pricing before rideshare was pretty much just not being able to find a taxi, unless you happened to get extremely lucky. Have you ever tried to hail a cab in Manhattan right after it starts to rain?

From Spain's perspective that's a distinction without a difference.

If sometime in the past 300 years the British government had formally incorporated Gibraltar into the UK the way Hawaii is a part of the US or French Guiana is part of France, would Spain's complaints about British sovereignty over Gibraltar, and periodic attempts to regain the territory, be any less frequent? I think not.
Somewhat of a plug (apologies), but we're bootstrapping an open platform for video on top of RSS to solve this problem.

It can play videos on (most) podcasting apps people already have on their phones. Here's an example: https://evan.streambus.com/rss/main.xml (try putting that into your podcasting app)

We make a publishing tool for it with a linear/superhuman-like interface that's free to use. Since it's just RSS, it's fundamentally open: if you want to use a different tool, or roll your own, you can do so without losing your audience. And since it's a podcast, you can piggy-back off of an already thriving ecosystem of apps, tools, distribution channels, and monetization strategies.

If you watch videos on RSS, and the app you're using puts ads on the videos, you can just use a different app. And if the video creator wants to put ads on their videos; the money is at least going to them, and not giving a 45% cut to one of the wealthiest companies in the world.

It's a bit early, but if you'd like to try it, send me an email: evan @ streambus dot com, or fill out the thing here: https://streambus.com/
I find it hard to believe that there is such a thing as a long lasting natural monopoly. The only monopolies that seem to last are the ones that are rooted in state coercion.
Besides that, when I talk about "getting rid of regulation", I of course mean to get rid of barriers to entry. It may be feasible for large companies to set aside a couple of millions for a dedicated compliance department. Small startups do not have those resources.
But even in the current market, as imperfect as it is, there are a countless competing electronics manufacturers. How is it that not a single one of them has started to offer a product line that caters to the "repair" crowd? Maybe that is something that's worth looking into?
