Why not treat economy class customers better?

Dupuit explained it all in four simple words. It's not out of vindictiveness, or even saving money Instead, it all boils down to this: "To scare the rich."

...

It is not because of the several thousand francs which they would have to spend to cover the third class wagons or to upholster the benches. ... [I]t would happily sacrifice this [expense] for the sake of its popularity.

Its goal is to stop the traveler who can pay for the second class trip from going third class. It hurts the poor not because it wants them to personally suffer, but to scare the rich.

Jules Dupuit was a 19th century French engineer and economist.

His insights on nonrivalrous public services and induced upselling apply across any number of goods and services. That would include informational and online ones.

This is before one considers the inherent bias of A/B testing and "market choice" mechanics generally to short-term highly-attractive options, and disregard of long-term value, long-term risks, and of less apparent or manifest value and benefits (see Robert K. Merton on manifest vs. latent functions).

Keeping in mind I'm a hobbyist, not a professional, but it seems to me much of coding boils down to this process of refactoring, spinning out libraries and restructuring to use Terraform or whatever, and at some point the process itself is what's repetitive.
For reference, Iceland has a population of only 360k people and has no standing army. It has nevertheless not been militarily attacked and subjugated, because of its alliances, including its NATO membership. If Iceland with its small population and no military can be kept secure through NATO membership, so can Greenland.
Looking at the parents past comments, they seem oddly biased. Lots of comments on drugs. And even recently "gave up all tech except HN" which is also rather weird.
AFAIK you won't get proper camera support. For example my Poco F1 has two cameras on the back, but with LineageOS only one is used.

Whether everything works ends up depending a bit on how you use your phone.
I agree in spirit. In practice, this is no different from deprecating an early alpha/beta version.
I’m excited to try this! First feedback after installing: I don’t think the app integrates properly with iOS “dark mode” theme; I am finding some text entry boxes show a white text on white background, so I can’t effectively use the app yet.
What about accessibility? As far as I know canvases don't offer ways to expose the same semantic information about their contents as the DOM.
I would love to know how they're tracking this because when I ask at the clinic they said all the proof I have of my vaccine is the paper they printed off and it's up to me to inform my doctor. I also mixed Pfizer and Moderna at the recommendation of the government and had a terrible reaction. I then discovered the CDC does not advise mixing. In line with the top comment, I've lost all faith in Canada, it's government and its people.
I read that and gave you the benefit of the doubt that brevity was your intent more than expressing frustration:) I can imagine how difficult it must be to want to help someone who can’t help themselves but has nobody else…

While I have many ideas about how we got through my childhood, I think any meaningful plan will have to suit your kid so general suggestions are probably hit or miss at best. This is why I suggested a caretaker but I guess I really meant “a specialist”.

I’ll just say this, to offer some insight… ADHD is not just losing track of the external world- it is a loss of your own internal world. It’s like someone is always tugging your instruction pointer away from your stack. This is suffering.

Honestly, I think this is good for Tahoe in the long run. The NIMBYs who constantly block development are getting a taste of their own medicine. When they’re finally fed up with the low staff and poor service they’ll see the need for affordable housing.
I have always wondered how adult, educated people could ever buy something like fsd packages where the hardware(the cheap part all things considered) is provided first and the software comes later, "pending regulatory approval", especially seeing as how that would apply globally.
It is like buying a laptop with nothing but the casing and the screen and AMD yet has to develop a chip, windows,Linux or iOS not developed yet.

Ok, the car is usable without it and it's indirect funding of the feature, but still.
At least 10 years ago it was normal or at least in my circles to always compile your own Ruby with all the production settings needed… jemalloc … we just build our own rpms and it’s pretty easy then to roll out upgrades too …

> As a European I find the level of gun violence in the US to be shocking

this is probably a perception problem. the uk doesnt have guns but has much higher violent crime with knives. in some ways, stabbing is much more violent and interpersonally malicious than pulling a trigger. there is a very close prevalence of violent crime per capita in US and UK, its just that stab wounds are easier to trest than gunshots.

the US has above average gun violence per capita, but acting like its some widespread danger is largely a construction of fear-driven media and sensationalism. most of US gun violence numbers come from highly localized pockets like detroit, LA, and chicago. its not a problem in almost all of America.
It's counterintuitive for me that this is a problem. One man should be able to do this in a month, no need for coordination that leaves behind evidence. Besides, how hard is it to communicate in secret?
(among other things)

It weakens recruiting for a diplomatic corps that has already seen its workforce whittled down under the leadership of Tillerson and Pompeo. Slower, lower-quality recruiting could reduce our ability to maintain influence in, and collect information from, key parts of the world. It's no secret that Cuba is an ideological beachhead used by our adversaries to hamper our foreign relations in Latin America.

I bet that it's also that smaller creators are also more likely to actually interact with their fans because there's fewer people vying for their attention and they're still trying to build popularity.
Keeping work separate from entertainment is one better option. But if you have to have Linux and some casual gaming in one place, then I would stick to Lutris or Proton or some other easy to use wrapper.

Or install less annoying edition of Windows like LTSC, configure Unified Write Filter or similar feature to keep it under control and try to live with latest WSL as your Linux. And just buying a console is another option, if not for a general chip shortage it would be a very good time to do it.
A paradox may also only be that you're not looking at the "thing" from the correct perspective to understand its true nature and why it looks like a paradox from an other, partial perspective.

Eg. allegory of the cave, or more crude cylinder shadow projection on a plane. The paradox is intimately tied to your understanding of the reality you're looking at.
A gun wants to be used. Let's let it simmer a few more decades and see what happens.
Thanks I didn’t know this was possible. I’m currently running Ruby compiled with jemalloc in production on elastic beanstalk with a custom AMI. If I can swap back to their AMI and just use LD_PRELOAD it will make upgrades a lot easier.
For a study like this, I would expect some connection between the mechanisms and the results. For instance, if carrying laws are changed, is there an associated change in the types of deaths that could plausibly be attributed to that (i.e. lawful carriers shooting people)?
> However, don't we all, if we buy into the stock market

Crypto proponents are always trying to draw false equivalencies between crypto and the stock market to legitimize crypto (or de-legitimize stocks). However, stocks and crypto aren’t comparable.

Cryptocurrency is basically what you’d get if you took stocks and removed everything valuable about them (that is: removed the fractional ownership of the company and the company’s assets). For all the talk about blockchain and technology, crypto investors only really care about the symbol and the price it trades at. Without an underlying company behind the coin, cryptocurrency creators are freed from the hard work of creating a company. They just have to create the coin and sell it. They also don’t have to worry about anyone claiming the coin is overpriced, because it doesn’t represent anything.

With stocks, you’re actually buying a piece of an actual company. It doesn’t compare at all to crypto.
Microsoft just stole all the code on github to do this. Regardless of what the minutiae of the law say, no one really expected their work to be used this way. Open source code powers a huge chunk of the industry while capturing little value for the maintainers already. Github even explicitly supports a standard format for declaring the license of a repo, which was cleverly ignored.

Here is the relevant section from Githubs privacy policy [1]

> 6. Contributions Under Repository License

> Whenever you add Content to a repository containing notice of a license, you license that Content under the same terms, and you agree that you have the right to license that Content under those terms. If you have a separate agreement to license that Content under different terms, such as a contributor license agreement, that agreement will supersede.

From GPLv2, "When distributing derived works, the source code of the work must be made available under the same license."

------

This is not about technology, it is a legal endrun around using open source code without open sourcing derived work. It is using AI as a form of "license laundering".

"OpenAI" is not open at all. Truly open AI means the code, the data and the model are all open. OpenAI sold the source to GPT-3 to Microsoft, received $1 billion from them in 2019 and does not make most of their work available except behind a highly exclusive, paid API - https://beta.openai.com/pricing/. Its a joke to call that "open". I urge you to read up on OpenAI and look at what the have actually done.

Their plan in the future is to sell access to Copilot, directly monetizing work they stole from others for free:

> According to GitHub, “If the technical preview is successful, our plan is to build a commercial version of GitHub Copilot in the future.”

I've deleted all my code from github and hope others do the same. Maybe if some bigger profile project starts doing this, we can start to organize around opposing Pilot and OpenAI.

Others have also pointed out similar concerns - see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27687450 for example.

Interesting idea with the auto creating of an alarm based on a reminder. That solves a different problem for me - settings reminders as alarms that will go off regardless of do not disturb being on.
I was wondering how on earth anything like this could've been developed - now it's making more sense. BANCstar probably was intended to be something like Visual Basic or Hypercard, where the bulk of the development was done using a high-level visual designer, but for whatever reason the suite ended up half-baked. Devs then get forced to use the intermediate language directly, and no budget is ever allocated to finish the product because they actually seem to be managing with the half-baked version just fine.
I was on about security and reliability fixes. These are applied when you run Stable, via Security repository, enabled by default. I was not on about Backports repository.
The reason for doing this is, of course, a different one.

Tesla, much as any other recent company, has opened their post-90's Economics textbooks and has seen that two-part contracts allow to extract much more welfare (money) from the customers. The car industry already got wise early on about price discrimination by employing bundling. Now this is combined with subscriptions to create IC/IR two-part contract menu.

Add customer data, and you're golden.

Edit: Just to be clear, this may be efficient. It just isn't beneficial to the consumer.

Well the Bill of Rights doesn't grant rights. It's a list of things the government can't do. I would start with stopping them from restricting property at all. Much less guns. Behavior should be regulated, not inanimate objects.
I’ve been learning Zig for a few months now and what I’m in love with is the ability to just use Zig to interact with whatever C libraries I want, but doing so with the conveniences that Zig offers.

I want to use SDL2 and cairo and pango? No problem! GTK4, easy peasy! There’s a C lib that comes as a single .c file that makes it easier to interact with SDL? Drop it on the project folder and compile it with Zig along all the other .zig files!

As somebody that has been avoiding C as much as I can, I’m loving this approach since it has open the doors to the world of C for me without having to learn autotools, make, valgrind, et al
I'd agree with you if they were more savvy or specific with their marketing (ie: FSD v1 or FSD V2) but sorry, they call it all "Full self driving" - whether that's via subscription or not, it's one in the same.

So all you're saying is there's a difference between full self driving on old hardware versus full self driving on new hardware?
It's always a bit harsh comparing a 36 year old language with more-or-less full backwards compatibility, with a new language designed with the benefit of hindsight.

That's not to say that it's impossible to do something like that in a C++ compiler but it's going to be more work than there is benefit. Tangentially related: https://twitter.com/__phantomderp/status/1416108650809241601

C++ also tries to bring in modern programming research when it makes sense, but that also explains why it's like an octopus with extra legs nailed on.
We'll probably make plastic out of oil for a while after we stop burning it. But we burn so much compared to what we need for other purposes that the existing reserves will last a long time.
If anything it has made it better, which I'm sure a lot of people will roll their eyes at, but people are much less likely to start anything if they know most people are carrying. I know the media skews your views on america, but it's not like the movies, we're not over here root'n toot'n with our guns out like it's the wild west. I have lived in Texas for 10 years and have seen 1 or 2 guns in holsters. Every other one is concealed. I have never heard a gun shot other than a gun range, and have never witnessed anyone pull a gun or shoot one at someone. The only guns I've seen pulled are those of the police, pistols and rifles.
Wow I start to pass out at around 2pm and I get a terrible migraine past that if I haven’t had breakfast. But I’m only 130lbs and 5’11” so I don’t have much storage and usually have hypotension. I wonder what would happen if I push it
> Our vaccine acquisition strategy was a disaster

Not sure if the facts agree with you here. Canada had, at one point, the largest number of vaccines on order per capita from a number of different companies. [0]

You seem to dismiss this news which contradicts your point - that Canada has better vaccination outcomes than those countries who DO produce vaccines, like the US and the UK, to say nothing of peer countries like Australia. [1]

Certainly many aspects of the pandemic response could have been massively improved on — but I’m not sure if there’s any citizen of any country that doesn’t feel that way today.

My suggestion: open your eyes a bit and take a moment to be thankful for the relatively good outcomes we’ve enjoyed vs the rest of the world. We’re not under anyone’s thumb yet.

This is becoming a problem in many areas, and I can't imagine that the push for remote work is going to help the situation any.

Unless you are living with parents, or with multiple roommates, the housing market in these cities will price you out.

We have this same scenario taking place in the area I live, and NIMBY/zoning laws prevent affordable housing from being developed. I've been to town hall meetings where people decry "affordable housing" as bringing Section 8 and "undesirables" to the area. You mention that even the local school teachers have to commute in from over an hour away due to afford a place to live, but it falls on deaf ears.

If the local residents are wealthy enough to live in the area, perhaps businesses have to bite the bullet, raise prices locally, and pay more for essential services like bartenders, wait staff, retail, etc.
But if you look here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-r... - the USA has a very high per-capita gun homicide rate (4.46) compared to most other comparable countries (e.g. the G7 countries which are 0.2, 0.52, 2.33, 1.04, 1.13 and 0.02). Interesting that France (2.33) is so high - I hadn't realised that.
Unfortunately, no. Natural immunity is less durable against variants [1]. (Proof of exposure should be fine, though, for low-risk stuff in areas not undergoing an outbreak.)

Given that and assuming we’ll have a permanently unvaccinated population, the virus would be expected to keep reinfecting that group, thereby increasing the selection pressure for strains that reinfect.

My most common batch/workflow usecases tend to involve a few hundred workers, and tolerance for brief downtime (especially if jobs don't fail outright).

PostgreSQL works surprisingly well for something like this. It has a rich set of coordination and locking primitives, and it can usually be recovered and restarted in under 10 minutes if the server fails. Yes, connection overhead from 300 workers is a real problem, so it doesn't hurt to put a thin layer in front of it.

One thing that an RDBMS buys me is flexible feature set and a solid ecosystem. Want write-ahead logs and automatic point-in-time recovery? It's out there. Need a specific locking primitive? PostgreSQL probably supports it. Etc.

If I were looking at 2,000 workers, yeah, it would be time to set up a Raft server. But a good RDBMS will do the job for a surprisingly long time.
I know this article is about Tahoe and paints a rather bleak picture...but this is nationwide. I traveled most of the east coast over the past few months, and every single city's service sectors are begging for employees. I've never seen so many fastfood places closed. And not like, boarded up, but appearing operational but having zero employees. And most weren't high cost of living areas...
The problem is that you can't differentiate between "stupid" and "justifiably ignorant" or just "scarred by history".

Black people were literally experimented on under the guise of vaccination programs. They have no reason to believe that isn't going to happen again.

And then you just have millions of people who don't know basic biology or medicine, and vaccines are no more fathomable than magic.

Add lots of misinfo from Facebook to that mess, and you have people who can't always be blamed for their fear.
I used to use org-mode, loved the flexibility and power of it. Which unfortunately for me was its downfall as well as I spent too much time messing around with it.

> I guess it's too slow to calculate and causes too much server-side processing?

Bingo, game servers need to be as lightweight as possible because whatever calculations they have to run need to run per player per tick. Detailed occlusion calculations would be impractical, so at best it's very rough. And of course you don't want a situation where an opposing player isn't even seen until they've already shot you, so it needs to err on the side of visibility.

Every latency-sensitive online game has to make a bunch of tradeoffs between performance and security, and performance is generally more important.

The amount of dust that's produced during these processes is substantial. The dusting probably goes along with a generally higher level of conscientiousness—to describe it as pretentious (like in luxury production?) seems extreme. Egypt is a pretty chaotic place and I guess you could say Spain (and the rest of Western Europe) fetishizes order in comparison. I do think you're misreading the cultural signs if you think the Spanish process is precious and rarefied in a silly way, though.

I have always thought many android based phones are fantastic.

Also had a xiaomi phone as business phone, and it was performing better than the currently available iphone.

I think iphones have stopped looking nice a while ago anyway.

I like the design and finish of Mac laptops, but even there, you can get better from brands with windows os, but that will cost a ridiculous amount of money.

May I ask, apart from look, why do so many people in the US chose to use an iphone? Genuine curiosity.
