In the US at least, this hasn't really been the case since the telegraph went in.
It's easy to look at those construction workers and think "Wow, those dudes have real jobs" because they get to build huge skyscrapers or subways.

But they're looking right back at you thinking the same exact thing, because you get to work on your laptop in an air conditioned office and don't go home smelling like sweat, dirt, and fumes.

There's a great quote from Bud Smith's book Work that has much better wording with the same idea, but I can't find it
Was the art you're enjoying created in a vacuum? Art is often extremely political.
On Resisting Social Influence (1979)
We obtained them in late ‘00 for our tech company. We used them for several years, but the cloud was gaining momentum and we gave up using our own colo platform. We sold them in 2017, redistributing the benefits to the partners of the company as dividends. Fully compliant with the tax laws of my country, of course.

* Among those who understand internetworking, there has been debate about ISPs as utilities for a long time.

* ISPs present a cost and performance problem for most Americans, whereas social media giants present fundamental issues of society and speech. It's easier to see there is a problem, while also being harder to figure out.
> The service maps they are using are extremely poor, being charitable.

charity is incorrect, poor by design. from:

"Those data points likely undercount the number of unserved Americans because the FCC lets ISPs count an entire census block as served even if it can serve just one home in the block"

hilarious. surely the burden of accurate reporting is cost prohibitive for our poor ISPs
Speaking truth to power has always had its risks, yes. But, wisdom isn't the same as self preservation. Down that road is acquiescence, and cowardice. Perhaps he made a choice: to be remembered as unprincipled in the face of personal risk, or to die in sacrifice to his principles and be a guiding light for those who seek the truth for millenia to come.
They're working on it. If you don't read TD regularly, you're probably not aware of how long this has been going on. They're trying to survive independently without selling users out, and that is not easy.

> So, count me a little skeptical

Be as skeptical as you want, they are transparent about what's going on. A decent background piece specific to the Google piece of this madness explains part of it here:

Also, Google does not own Soundcloud.
This is odd/amusing, because in US as far as I know there are no carriers doing IPv4 anymore - it's all IPv6 with 464xlat or equivalent translation proxies.

And these are companies with more IPv4 than your carrier most likely.
This looks like a rewrite/gloss of recent New York Times reporting: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/25/climate/toyota-electric-h...

Same thing happened the other day when a gloss by The Verge was trending on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27961606 I get that some folks may not want to pay to subscribe to The New York Times, but it's unfortunate that HN is sending so much traffic to sites that are just rewriting others' original reporting (and slapping their own advertising on it).

Perhaps another dynamic is that as these sites post their rewrites, HN posters can submit fresh URLs for the same topic over multiple days, rather than just the "canonical" NYT URL?
If you have newlines present then process the data a line at a time, as you would if reading from a file. This is nowhere near as difficult or cumbersome as you're making out.

Edit:
Also, you're confusing theoretical and practical efficiency. For instance, a V8 engine can be 30% efficient in absolute terms, but if you can use an I4 for the same application because you now have a Turbo, your real world efficiency is way higher. This is exactly what we see happening in performance cars an large trucks: big displacement being replaced with turbos and hybrid systems.
Lobbying against the lobbying?
Seems like it's easier for local governments to set up their own public broadband services than their own competing big tech companies. And there's been plenty coverage of the fight for public broadband and the pushback from monopolistic ISPs.
My FIL runs an electrical co-op in upstate SC. He had the choice of creating a new HQ for their co-op, or run fiber to all their customers.

He ultimately chose the new HQ because the cost-per-mile was insane when you got in the more rural areas, and he had no guarantee that all serviceable addresses would subscribe, plus it would increase costs for all their subscribers even if they didn't join their network. He also afraid that something faster or more efficient than fiber would become more widely available over the next 10-15 years and then their network would be obsolete.
At least with public utilities you can actually communicate with (many of) them by phone or email. Public utilities have to answer to someone and they don't like when dissatisfied customers file complaints (which creates work and potential blow back).
Supabase (YC S20) Auth v2: Phone Auth Now Available
Nobody was going to shut down Toyota for stopping hydrogen car development 10 years ago.
While I do think the ruling is somewhat weird and contradictory like OP pointed out this business was going out of their way to make this an issue. Any business or individual can refuse work, you just can't do it for strictly discriminatory reasons but no one will know the reasons unless you tell them. If you as an artist/creator/business owner feels that way for whatever reason just don't do the job. Just tell the customer you don't have time or something. How hard is that?
If societies answer to climate change is "Don't punish/impact poor people who negatively effect the environment" Then we might as well just pack our bags for Mars now.

Over the next 100-200 years, every (poor) 3rd world country is going to continue to get more and more industrialized and impact the environment more and more. Maybe I'm 100% off here but i'd be surprised if we (rich countries) can lower our emissions enough to offset the increases elsewhere in the world. And limiting the increases of "their" impact will directly effect "their" quality of life improvements unless "we" step in and aid them with more complex (expensive?) solutions. Likely at the expense of any domestic improvements that could be done without added cost of that aid.
Hey HN, today we’re launching SMS logins on Supabase Auth. Although it wasn’t a huge technical challenge, I’m very excited about this release because it lays the groundwork for for MFA. We’ll start with SMS 2FA, and then target other 2FA systems (like Authy) next.

We’re also releasing Twitch OAuth which brings out total OAuth providers to 10 (Apple, Azure, Bitbucket, Discord, Facebook, GitHub, GitLab, Google, Twitch, Twitter).

We’re in the middle of a “Launch Week” [0]. Yesterday we launched Storage in Beta [1], and on Monday we moved to Postgres 13.3 [2].

Finally, last time we were on HN there a few comments calling us out on being too difficult to self-host. The feedback was fair, and we've made some amendments. We've worked with a few companies on their self hosting, including Epsilon3 (who did a LaunchHN last week) who are hosting Supabase in GovCloud[3], we’ve improved the self-hosting docs [4], and we’ve started open-sourcing our Dashboard (the last part of the platform to open source) [5].

I meant that trivial problems should have more consensus but even the smallest of them I find when you ask about them there's controversy.
Ah, so a linux system contains more than 100 packages, does that mean if it used this scheme companies would have to pay out >100% of revenue?

Colour me unconvinced of the viability of this scheme.

Most ISP won’t even care about your criminal activity either, without getting a court order.
Inflation adjusted, my salary when I started in this industry was just under 100K. 25 years later, it's not too much more than that. I've really enjoyed my career and have no regrets. I still code and I expect to continue to code until I retire.

Here are some things I've experienced:
- every team and job is dysfunctional in some way
- no company has ever rewarded me for loyalty (I've worked for 7 companies from 3 to 100,000 employees)
- I'm an average coder and yet I've always managed to contribute to a team
- I've never had any legitimate mentor
- I've never worked on a team that had a consistent functional process

I'm sorry your career hasn't gone the way you wanted so far. You might benefit from some conversations with a therapist. I don't mean so you can get a diagnosis and medications, just so you can get a different perspective.

If you're not happy, a (relationship|job|move to a new city) isn't going to make you happy.
Another explanation is the hardware root of trust. On iOS, for example, hardware root of trust in a separate physical security processor validates all code in a chain. An exploit cannot gain persistence across a reboot unless it has access to the private signing keys of Apple
This is both wrong, and an attitude that leads pretty strongly in the direction of authoritarianism.
Indeed, who even thought up such a misfeature? Much less made it default.
>Honestly, do we need to politicize everything?

The FCC is a political organization, so yes, it should be politicized. It often makes decisions due to politics, and in this case the Republican ideals of business being more powerful than the government and monied interests and capital owners being more powerful than democracy and working people.

>I promise you that Ajit Pai did not personally

That's not how leadership works. They can't fail and then say "Oh well I wasn't reviewing every little thing."

I'm not sure why you're carrying water for a crony like Pai, but its not convincing in the slightest.
Not really. If you look at the numbers, spam almost always has these.
I guess I translated "pennies" into "little bags of water". The little bag of water at the bottom only gets pressurized from the little bags of water above it.

And so the bottom bag's "pushing" outward from compression would be affected only by those above it.
my personal guess is that this is going to lead to STCs that allow the installation of diesel engines as replacements for avgas engines. They're saying it's going to raise fuel by 40 to 80 cents (USD), so it'll probably be more than that. One of the pluses of AVGAS engines is that they can be overhauled repeatedly which saves on engine replacement costs over the life time of the plane. But the increase in fuel price is likely to bring it level with the replacement cost of a new diesel engine. Since diesels can run JET-A fuel, which is a global fuel source and much cheaper than AVGAS.. I just don't see how AVGAS engines survive in the long term.

(older planes can't just adopt an electric engine. batteries are too heavy and the airframe won't be able to carry batteries that provide 600-800nm of range)
I'm a lot of things but definitely not a "SJW".

There are other incidents. Someone pulled info about the Model 3 out of their Model S firmware.

Tesla responded by downgrading his firmware remotely, locking his vehicle from future upgrades, and disabling the car's ethernet port.

Well, my comment is already at -1, so yes.
That sounds about right, given that you can do multiprocessing pretty easily in OCaml by forking. They even provide a convenience function directly in the standard library, Unix.establish_server, that forks a new process to handle requests.
That would be an interesting experiment. Make it a 2D axis... Agree <--> Disagree, and Low Quality <--> High Quality. Only allow voting on one of the options.
Exclusionary rights to make, use or redistribute a thing. I’m under the impression that patent rights allow one to sue to prevent others from making, using or redistributing a thing without a contract or license from the patent holder. I would call that protection. Maybe it’s different where you live.
Toyota in particular has been quite dirty and backwards facing. They strongly opposed the tightening of vehicle emissions standards in the USA as one of three companies (fiat-Chrysler and GM being the others). They are constantly lobbying against EV tech, whilst pushing hydrogen as a technology which is no viable alternative in the medium or near term future (this can be seen as a big oil ploy as hydrogen is and will be made using “natural gas” / methane). Plug-in electric only became a thing with Toyota very recently, despite them having had hybrids for decades.

All quite a sorry state for one of the largest car companies out there.

At this point, they’re doing more harm then good and I’d call them a dirty company and would avoid buying any of their products. They are wasting all their good will that they gained due to them pushing hybrids.
We need to expand the set of possible actors and goals. The anthrax campaign happened immediately after 9/11. The result of the campaign was the end of effective political opposition to the massive expansion of military and "secret" aspects of the USA government made possible by 9/11. Cui bono? Certainly not the several implausible patsies the authorities immediately had lined up to blame.

Numerous USA calamities make a lot more sense when we study them with an eye toward who benefits rather than who is blamed.

For those who may have skipped the article, it is worth reading at least the first half which succinctly explains the difference between common carrier and public utility.
I've used generic comcast IPv6 for years and never had this problem.
At least you can get speedy connections. Here in the NL offers still start at 40/5-type connections, and ISP have you pay premiums to get 300/500 Mbit. If you're lucky, you can sell your first born for 1Gbit.
AFAIK all ML languages support tail call optimization, and put the emphasis on immutable data structures.
The sarcastic question that popped into my head was, OK, then what are the preconditions for becoming open to being persuaded? How do people develop a higher degree of openness? Then I thought...maybe if you're not being bombarded with opinions that are aggressively trying to convince you of something, you'll explore the world in a more open way, looking constantly for the next informational morsel that will evolve your mental schema of the world.
>> You cannot have GPL'ed proprietary software.

I get that, hence me saying "they would be obligated to release the source code." My point is that has little or no effect on the actual sales of the program (since the parent post was primarily about money.)

There are reasons to prefer GPL over MIT, and other reasons to prefer MIT over GPL, but money isn't one of them...
To attenuate fears a bit... Aerosol transmission was proven possible if you're sitting inside a vapor inhalation chamber equipped with a nebulizer spraying out liquid droplets containing >2% w/v brain homogenates from terminally scrapie-sick mice.

Rest assured if you somehow get infected by PrPSc through airborne transmission, someone was trying really hard to make that happen.
In my experience of HN and StackOverflow, at first, I did not like people downvoting my naive or thoughtless comments. Throughout the years, my reputation on StackOverflow grew and a little bit on HN since the bar is so much higher seems... but in any case, this has been a learning journey in being a more thoughtful and respectful contributor and without those downvotes, I wouldn't have had the self reflection to be better, as trivial as that may sound.
Um, the samples submitted by the external auditor may be positive or negative. And clinical labs re-validate tests routinely, including drawing samples from our own lab personnel. But we don't have dummy patients in the electronic medical record tied to perfectly healthy actors coming in to donate 7 mL of blood in a red top.
Is it right for you be taxed for using the sewer system? What are the environmental impacts of the massive scale of human shit having to be processed in treatment plants? Why does the government prevent me from shitting wherever I want, infringing on my freedom? First they take away your rights to shit on your neighbour's porch, then they take away your rights to see your kids on weekends. Stepping stones to tyranny.
If that is so, just let the market punish Toyota.

If they bet wrong, they will lose, unless the State bails them out.
Sure, but that has more to do with the tires/brakes/suspension/etc than the powertrain, and the powertrain is what we're comparing here. All other things being equal, the fuel cell powertrain simply can't produce as much burst power as a big battery can.
What Misspellings Reveal About Cultural Evolution
Persistent identity is fine, it just doesn't belong on individual servers. If the data matters, then it's better for it to be reproducibly managed, durably persisted, etc.

For many database needs, there are great options that natively support a highly available cluster.

For those needs that don't have a good clustering option, there are great network storage systems that are easy to deploy and use.

You don't need to treat hardware as a pet to have a database with persistent identity.
As an aside, I'm really beginning to dislike titles for articles that have that dismissive tone of "This is my fact and I'm going to tell it to you". I know the reason they have to do this is that having a reasonable title won't get any clicks, but perhaps that's a sign I should just be disregarding places that are only looking for clicks in the first place. I think I'm going to mostly focus on smaller creators, single people who have don't have the pressures that these large companies have.

Actually, looking at the article itself, I'm surprised how little there is here. It comes in just under 900 characters, it fits in 4 tweets.
We were discussing with them adding https://www.ethicalads.io/ which is our new non-tracking ad network. Sadly we're still only focused on developers, and Techdirt's content is very wide ranging, so we were only able to propose running ads on a subset of their content currently. We'd love to be able to support them when we are able to expand our audience to a larger tech-focused site in the future.

That's a fine opinion to have, but why are you then in academia?
But human tribes also split and went separate ways. Prior to the telephone moving continents, countries, or towns over effectively meant an end to familial contact.

There is a lot more ambiguity in whether a person chose to no longer be in contact with their parents by moving to where contact was impossible - and the case where phone calls go unanswered.
Would love to see the source and data on that, given that I use 1000s of gallons of leaded fuel a year.
I think opining on the internet should be rethought. I think that instead of the relatively opaque up/down, it should be a 2D grid of agree/disagree and good/bad argument. Allowing you to still commend users that you disagree with by noting they make solid logical arguments.

Why not just try to unlearn that, because it is a massive waste of mental effort in a lot of situations?
Socrates is attested not just by Plato, who was a huge fan boy, but also by Aristophanes who didn't care for him and Xenophon who was fairly neutral.
There's been quite a few studies questioning the current focus on EVs with ranges of 400km and more. Largely because they are so heavy and are therefore not very energy efficient. The argument is that most peoples daily commute is less than 50km (in Europe), but they still by an overly heavy EV for the 5-10 times a year they go on longer trips. Instead a plugin hybrid could be much more efficient, because you can use it in EV mode for your commutes, but you can still use the car for long trips, without the significant weight (and corresponding inefficiency) increases of an EV. I suspect this is very much a function of the driving pattern, and I suspect in the mid-term future this will change with more efficient battery technology.
Or even small subs that are against the prevailing opinions of the plurality of the userbase of all of reddit.

*will lead to a real war.

Actually now that I think about it, it might have already happened.
Many public institutions treat Google as public utility. Children can not attend school, unless they agree to privacy policy on school issued Chromebook. Town hall meetings announcements are only on FB...

If those are not public utilities, there should be law to prevent public institutions from using them.

I always seen it as public threat that politicians are on private social media, what if private company declares war on our behalf?
I wonder if it would be possible to make a designer protein that latches onto prion “seed crystals” to neutralize it. Some of the recent advances in protein folding and crispr make it so this might be starting to be something in the realm of possibility.
I downvote stuff because it's either low-effort or inflammatory. I don't know if it would be valuable to tell the commenter this, because they're unlikely to agree.
