> Can you do that within any one single country?

I don't think so, this would be surprising.

> Nothing of that is about your citizenship, so what does it have to do with another country?

I am sorry I don't understand this point.

> In Germany I have to register within 4 weeks of moving anywhere, it has to be a place that is registered as residential zone and you need an owner-ship or rental agreement certificate (even when living with your parents).

For the record, in Belgium, when moving to a different administrative territory (for lack of a better word, think cities, small territories) you have to register to your new town hall and a police officer will check you actually moved in.

But if you are homeless and still have a social net the social worker can register a public place as your contact address so you keep your rights and their benefits.

Irish co-founded data for AI company Logical Clocks raises €5m
The author's key point is that installing things on Linux is now a many-headed hydra where you never know if it's going to be shipped to users as a .deb/.rpm, a snap, an appimage, or something else (anyone care for a quick pip install?). This is accurate and a growing problem in the Linux ecosystem.

Unfortunately the alternative is to copy MacOS (have the OS treat special zip files as "apps" and let you drop them into a special OS directory, also the software's data and config live inside the zip file for life), or copy Windows (Installers, registry, AppData, oh my). And no one in the Linux world is going to go for those options.
> I'm sure we could find a way to encourage innovation without this competitive system.

It sounds perfect. But how would we achieve it? Rewrite laws that prohibits private property and free enterprise?
What a weird question. I could similarly ask, why do people treat employing workers as something different from animal husbandry? If there was a law that limited your ability to ship, cage or breed your workers like you do cattle, you would rightfully object -- it's not a government's business to get involved in your voluntary business transactions. Why treat a company that employs workers differently from a company that employs cattle?

Your question has as much relevance to the question at hand as mine.
What does Eric Weinstein do? He rambles about every subject, positing awkward contrarian points of view, mixing in politics, physics (not just any physics but "theory of everything" physics), mathematics, Jeffery Epstein, BLM, beefs about higher education (specifically Harvard)-- ALL within the same long discussions/monologues.

Does that mean he's a crackpot? Well, he's definitely an outsider. He tends towards obfuscation and using turgid, roundabout rhetoric to say simple things. He will also sometimes throw out PHD level arcane mathematics vocab when he's talking to a general audience without trying to explain what he's actually saying. He devises acronyms like "DISC" and just uses them like everyone already knows what they mean.

The thing I simply don't understand is how come he can get so much exposure? He was on Lex Fridman twice (maybe 3 times?), Joe Rogan, and has had relatively healthy traffic on his podcast. The backstory is he cofounded something called the "intellectual dark web". Looking closer that just appears to be a loose coalition of vaguely libertarian folks that are neither intellectual, nor "dark" (they all have high profiles and don't have secret identities), nor really "a web" because its a relatively small number of people.

What has he _actually_ done? He's PHD from Harvard, so certainly he's smart. He's been working a day-job as a managing director for a Peter Theil money thing, so he's probably wealthy. Other than that, he appears to be a good cocktail party conversationalist, with probably more people laughing at him than with him (the guy is utterly humorless). Does that make him a crackpot? He's not worthy of the attention he gets, IMHO, and that makes the question moot.
Why do you trust those people? Do they have a proven track record of accurate judgments?

> Now the complaint is an objective formula is being used.

As programmers we really should know better than blindly trusting software.
Honestly, I think the only solution is, to make it easier to start a small business, and help and encourage people to start them, and then fix the tax policy, so companies as amazon would pay the same effective tax rates as a mom-and-pop bakery.

Amazon needs workers, workers need jobs. If you increase the number of jobs and decrease the number of unemployed, people can say "no" to shitty jobs. This is currently happening in parts of USA, due to people moving around, some illegals leaving and new standards, where shitty employers are forced to close down, because they cannot get workers, and competent workers moving "up". And getting workers is easy... just offer a better working enviroment for more money than their current workplace is offering, and you've got one.
So make it illegal to work for more than 6 hours? What if I actually want to work more and agree with a company to do so and get paid for it?
I don't think we should call Weinstein alt-right. He's quite a conservative conspiracy prone guy and I don't particularly like him myself, but so far I haven't seen much suggesting far right leanings.

> should we be spending time discussing Eric Weinstein at all?

Fair question, perhaps not. We're doing that however because the guy is sort of famous by now and because he has made extraordinary claims about his own work and abilities. Extraordinary claims from sort of famous people inevitably draw attention.

> we'll hear about it in due time

I think it would be better if the question got settled sooner rather than later. If he's (mostly) right then he's a great misunderstood genius and we should start pursuing his theories and at the same time we should start draining the academic swamp that he alludes to. If he's wrong however, we should know it quickly so that we stop wasting our time with him.
It varies. Ironically the UK never seemed to bother with any formal registration[1], apart from getting a NI number for work (like everyone has to do).

I couldn’t register in Finland as an EU citizen (when I was one) without an employment contract or proof of self sufficiency. You have three months from arriving to register. It's true that if you don’t you're unlikely to be actively tracked down - but good luck trying to achieve anything here without that registration.

[1] I.e. with a government body responsible for enforcing immigration. It is likely that you would be asked to register to be on the electoral register at the house you are living in. This is not really the equivalent, I am talking about going to the Immigration authority of the country with your passport and papers.
>based on an objective formula
Who knows if it's objective, you can easily put any bias into formula.
Remember Amazon's application AI that downgraded applications of women just because they were women.
If the issues with it aren't too obvious you can trade it into Apple claiming it's in good condition. That's ethical as far as I'm concerned given the issue is their own fault.
For anyone who’s dealt with political systems - locally, statewide, federal - corruption and private interest at every level of these organizations are ubiquitous.

> If you don't like Amazon or what they are doing to their workers, don't shop on Amazon. If you think working for Amazon is bad, don't work for Amazon.

Isn't warning people part of that?
Do you actually think small and medium sized businesses can really compete with Amazon at this point? Their advantage at this point, technologically and operationally, is far more than simply lower tax burden.

>> objective and fair.

You do understand that the is a logical impossibility, as "fairness" is a subjective standard...

What is "fair" to me, likely will not be what you believe is "fair" thus something can not be objective and "fair"

> "take the ordinal value of each letter in employee's name, sum mod 365, and if the result matches the day of the year, they're fired!"

My Objection to this standard would not be "it is unfair" but rather it makes no logical sense to have employment choices made by that system and would likely cause many objectively valuable employees to be separated from the company.

Objective rules need to make sense in the context for which they are apply, "fairness" would not come into play here

One thing that caught my eye was that the other softwares do not have automated tests. How do you know this?

Do you consider this to be a USP of your software? I do not think end users will care about whether tests exist or not.

> The solution is to go beyond a competition based society.

I'd frame the problem as follows:

"Capitalism is a powerful tool, but fails as the sole guiding principles of a society's values. Christianity, a former enabler of pro-social norms on a massive scale, is dead.

Wat do."
Do you have any examples of societies that have successfully abolishing competition (and continued being somewhat functional)?

It seems impossible to me but I would love to be surprised.

The issue is that the Cloud provider is not UK-based. If they were to ban a bank, it's probably due to pressure from their own government (US) who could be having some problems with their client's government (UK). It's not like it is not happening right now.

What BoE can say is that certain risks are unacceptable for UK banks, period. It's not BoE shopping for data centers, it would be BoE setting the rules for every bank shopping for data centers.

If BoE does not like some risk that really does come with the territory and everybody who uses public cloud is subject to that risk, oh well, then that would imply that UK banks have to keep out of that territory and can't use public cloud for their key services - it is a bit drastic, but certainly something that BoE has the right to rule if it really wanted.

On the other hand, if there's a way to use public cloud and meet the requirements, but current major vendors are simply not offering it, then BoE can make up arbitrary requirements, followed by the major UK banks going to the major cloud vendors with a proposal "meet these requirements or we won't use your services, because we'd be prohibited to".

It's all connecting to bigger flights. Plus 78-119 miles means either paying a lot of money for a cab, paying gas & parking fees for the duration of your trip at the bigger airport, or asking a friend/family member very nicely to take that trip to drop you off/pick you up. The smaller cities in question for these routes aren't going to have any sort of usable bus service for making a flight on time.

To answer your cargo question: probably not much. The distance is within a normal delivery range of some rural UPS/Fedex/DHL routes. Making people in these smaller cities go to the airport to pick up boxes just makes a lot of work for them.

The summary I quote below represents the paranoid or less-successful-than-they-want-to-be professor. There are many at all levels of success and career development have literally devoted their lives to ideas they think will change the world if implemented. I've heard of people "scooping" ideas, decade long blockades on ideas, etc. People fail to cite the right people. Is that because they don't want to share glory or because it's not easy to keep up with research? The phrase "success has many fathers failure is an orphan" comes to mind.

Are these stories real?

I mean:

> Williams was wrongfully arrested in 2020 for federal larceny after he was misidentified by the Detroit Police Department’s facial recognition software after they used a grainy image from the surveillance footage. He was then picked from a photo lineup by the store security guard who wasn’t actually present for the incident. According to his testimony, Williams was detained for thirty hours and was not given any food or water.

So the software pointed out that some guy resembled a grainy photo. Okay.. that's like a random person calling in a tip that they saw someone who looks like a grainy photo on a Wanted-poster.

Then the guy gets arrested, there's a lineup for a security-guard who wasn't even there, they hold the guy for 30-hours without food or water, and that's due to the software?

The argument's too absurd for me to believe that it's being made in good-faith.
The Euclidean plane is a conceptual model also not based on physics.
Potentially they have about the same cost profile as a taxi over the same distance long term. Low noise also means access to smaller and more conveniently located airports. Initially, the novelty value will mean high demand, pricing, and relatively low cost compared to flying a small traditional plane. So great business opportunity if you can get a few planes.
Yes, but in a lot of cases facial recognition/drug testing is done without a valid prior reason, just the office pulling the "I smell weed" crap -- there is no incentive for the police officer not to make up an unfalsifiable prior reason.
That's nuts - 100 million users and I don't see a single one. Crazy how enormous ecosystems can grow and still be outside of one's radar.

This is absurd. The alleged perpetrators are doing an absolutely terrible job.

A 30 second clip from fox news really isn't HN material.
So when posts get flagged to much they get auto-removed? If true that seems like a questionable policy. It puts the judgement over right or wrong in the hands of the majority mob, while it's very important for a mind or community to get exposed to contrarian points of view.

I'm newish to HN so it's a genuine question, I've not observed enough moderation here to really know how it works. It's the first time I've seen a post disappear and since this is the kind of topic that gets censored on other social media sites it made me suspicious.
This is obvious, concentration of risk is a legitimate concern. I was specifically wondering about the "dictate terms and conditions - as well as prices" line, which sounds bullshit to me.
One of the (legal ?) requirements we had to meet back in the 00s was that financial software (quant code, options trading) was "reproducible" for some length of time (7 years?). That meant: version control (SCCS, CVS, svn), archiving OS versions (SunOS, Solaris), and kit (Sun workstations and servers).

I have no idea if the last 2 ("OS", hardware) is even achievable in 2021. I can always get my source code from git, and possibly the 'configuration', but can I expect to run cloudy code in 7 years time?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2_Alpha_variant#Virul...

It seems that the Alpha variant is more virulent than the original, but it's hard to measure virulence to a high degree of confidence.

IFR is not quite the right thing to measure, we are interested in differences in mortality due to mutation of the virus, but there are many confounding variables in the quality of treatment and populations that get infected to remove. e.g. if a virus stayed exactly static you would expect mortality to decrease over time as better treatments are found.

Which is impossible because it throws meetings with chats all in the same list so you have 3000 things going on. Not to mention that meetings that ended 3 weeks ago still have active chats. Or if you were invited once now you’re forever attached to the chat of all the meetings that come after, even if you’re not invited.

Teams started ok, but it has become worse than Skype, which is something I didn’t think was possible.
