I agree that, at this stage Guix will have as much success as Hurd does in becoming a production ready system. But I do think there might be some form of borrowing between the Nix and Guix.

In my case however, I'd rather have an Arch-based system with NixOS's clean architecture.

I find the tone of the article a little uncharitable.

Innovation is full of scenarios where visionary companies thought they could offer something at a loss, and then eventual improvements to technology/logistics/supply chain/process/etc would make the concept profitable.

Whether it's Amazon offering free shipping, or Google offering OUTLANDISH (for the time) storage volumes for Gmail.

I can definitely imagine that Uber's leadership genuinely believed that various economies of scale or technological innovations would allow them to be fully profitable in the long run.

Same for Self-driving cars: When Uber was investing billions into it, it really looked like they were at the tip of the spear of innovation together with Google. People felt that Uber was actually BETTER Positioned for introducing self-driving technology than Google because they were focusing on adding extensions to existing cars, and they already had a built-in customer base using them for ordering point-to-point rides (Whereas Google/Waymo had to build out those capabilities themselves since)

This is where my charity ends. Uber has not treated their drivers because it considers them completely fungible and replaceable. Everything to do with Public Transit is completely bang on - it's ludicrous to even imagine Uber participating here.

And I buy the overall conclusion - in the long run we will look back at Uber and consider it a net loss for humanity's progress.

But there is no getting around the pure delight of the original user experience - irrespective of pricing. And I'm willing to bet that the leadership did not consider it a con from the beginning, they really thought they could make a profitable business from this in the long run.
A distinction with MtGOX is that it was providing a centralized exchange and legally binding contract to its users (not a smart contract), which the owners violated. In this case they'd be criminally and civilly liable.

A person following the letter of a smart contract for their benefit, while not breaking the terms of any legally binding contract they've signed, has yet to be charged with a crime (to my knowledge)
Which is exactly the fundamental flaw in any argument that "decentralization" will somehow solve problems.

Humans are social creatures and collusion is the natural order. Humans will cooperate unless doing so is clearly to their detriment.
> Being a landlord has never been a risk-free investment

Never in a million years would any reasonable person think the government would come in and say "I don't care if they don't pay you for 18 months, you have to keep a roof over their head and play landlord to a complete deadbeat".

That is a contingency so far out of the norm it is a bit ridiculous to blame business owners for not preparing.

Blaming businesses for "not being prepared" for massive, completely unexpected government overreach is pretty lame.

I wanted to add that one also must know how insulin is dosed to understand this.

Type 1 diabetics typically take two different insulins. One is a 'long acting' that slowly absorbs over 16-24 hours, like what would be called time-release for oral medication. This insulin provides for metabolic function and counteracts the glucose your liver unpredictably and uncontrollably releases at certain times. People with pumps drip regular insulin at a slow rate for the same effect. I assume nothing would change there.

The other type is called 'fast acting' or bolus insulin. This is taken usually in one large dose prior to meals to handle the large rise in blood glucose that follows carbohydrate consumption. The insulin we are discussing here is a replacement for fast acting insulin.

The -ideal- situation for fast acting is for it all to be consumed at the end of digestion. You want fast acting to match 1:1 with the carbohydrates you ingest, every time, with none left to cause hypoglycemia (overdose). other metabolic needs are already handle by the pump drip/long-acting. This innovation would remove the danger of overshooting the insulin dosage and causing hypoglycemia, which is huge.
> No, but if I have to choose one, I'm not choosing the one that believes in Satanic pedophile cults and Jewish space lasers, and that gathers neo-nazis like flies, so simple math says I have to choose the other one until my country gives me a viable option besides "lesser of two evils."

Good luck waiting for a viable option. Edit: just realized, not sure if by the satanic pedophile cults you meant the Clintons. You know, the war hawk lady who laughs at videos of beheading while parodying Gaius Julius, one of the biggest mass murderers in history. And the current president, who sniffs children and incestously kisses their grandchildren.

As an outsider, politics in the US is complete shit, maybe instead of participating in tribalism of one side vs another you should seek out ways to hard-reset the system and introduce more political parties, as is common in Europe.

> Well, for one thing, you're confusing the laws of those countries and extremist groups with the terms of service of social media platforms. Twitter isn't beheading anyone, and Facebook isn't sending anyone to concentration camps, so attempts to draw some kind of equivalence between them and totalitarian regimes don't really work.

The end result for me as a user is the same. What's the difference between Facebook and Twitter voluntarily censoring any mention of Tommy Robinson and China censoring anything mentioning Tommy Robinson? In one case its authoritation government doing it, in the other it's some sleazy multinational corp with way too much power doing it. "gO StArT YoUr OwN pLaTfOrM"...

Now tell me, I saw you in a few threads already, usually arguing leftist talking points. Are you an astroturfer? The reason I am here wasting my time writing something that will go completely over you just to get back a response that dismantles my post pedantically point by point is that unfortunately USA exports a lot of stuff. We started getting the BLM/MeToo stuff in Europe too and it's completely absurd.
Combining the odds of us developing much better mitigation techniques if we survive the next million years with the odds of fucking this up and either ruining the moon's orbit or smashing the rock into the earth, this is an unbelievably bad idea.
This will have deep long lasting repercussions. Do you think anyone is going to rent out their house anymore after getting burned like this? This will further reduce the rental supply in the long term, driving rents up even more as the few remaining landlords demand ever higher cap rates.

I never realized boarding houses were almost entirely illegal. I’ve often wondered where they went and why they don’t exist. It seems almost the single most useful thing conservatives and libertarians could do that is precisely within their deregulatory wheelhouse.

I mean we all know why this isn’t the case. It’s also why Democrats aren’t pushing for it either.

Restaurants are a surprisingly poor candidate for automation.

First, most of the big restaurant companies that actually have the resources for automation operate with a franchising based business model. McDonalds makes money leasing real estate, not serving burgers. The costs of labor are borne by the franchisees who aren't really in a position to pay for the significant development costs. Independent restaurants are in an even worse position as far as automation goes.

Next, restaurant employees tend to do a large number of tasks. You may refer to someone as a fry cook, but they're also grabbing stuff from the freezer, scrubbing equipment down, mopping up spills, washing dishes, helping unload the truck, etc. This doesn't mean there's no value in automating any particular task, but a robotic arm isn't going to get you out of your labor shortage problem. Automating enough tasks to actually eliminate the need for someone is tough, especially when many of these tasks are customer facing, as such tasks are especially difficult to automate and may result in backlash.

Third, restaurants are extremely unlikely to employ people with the appropriate skillset for implementing and, of critical importance, maintaining automation infrastructure. Even if the bulk of the work is done by an automation integrator, you need someone to do periodic adjustments and troubleshoot day to day issues. It's not especially difficult, but it is skilled labor. You're not going to pay for a $20k training session for a 17 year old going off to college in a few months.

Finally, many of the best selling points for automation are of no value for restaurants. A manufacturing company would love to have its machines run overnight making them money instead of sitting idle; a restaurant though doesn't make any money when customers aren't coming in. Automation is great for consistent production rates, but restaurants have extreme fluctuations in demand both over the course of the day and from one day to the next. The value of most companies is tied directly to their productivity, and thus anything that increases productivity makes the company more valuable, but most of the value of a restaurant is in its brand and location - a line out the door of waiting customers is a good thing for a restaurant.

There is substantial opportunity for automation in the larger food industry. The factories which produce the ingredients for restaurants have some amazing automation (if you want to be simultaneously impressed and a little offput, look up automated chicken deboning). The restaurant business model just isn't made for it. If we do ever see automated restaurants, I would bet good money they are designed from the ground up to be automated, rather than converting existing restaurants over. We'd likely think of them more as overgrown vending machines than restaurants.

> which is why most localities have laws about when you can evict someone and the process you have to go through.

Never has there been a law that says you cannot evict somebody after 18 months of not paying rent.

I think people who continue to blame business owners are being rather obtuse and dishonest about their stance.

> My local taco shop ran out of rice a few weeks ago. A few days ago they had some unspecified kitchen issue and had to close. They don't open on sundays.

And mine has never run out of rice. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. I don’t monitor them enough to know how many 9’s, but I’ve probably eaten there 200 times in 9 years and never experienced an outage.

Some places suck more than others. But my expectation is 100% uptime when it comes to rice at my taco shop.

I think assuming competence is healthy, as long as I’m not a jerk when it happens to fail. I love my taco shop and would survive if they didn’t have an ingredient once. But they work really hard to keep everything working.
So in this sense they mean a lack of appetite, essentially. As I understand it, what most people think of as anorexia (purposely starving yourself) would be referred to anorexia nervosa.

No, no one really cares about homogeneity. Big name apps geared towards music, photo, video, 3D, GIS, IDE … have always looked somehow differently designed and for a good reason when compared to the browser and file manager.

There is more value in design than consistency on production oriented systems. It seems the contrary is preferred for mobile.

This is so backwards-looking. Why on Earth would you go to all this trouble to preserve a planet intact, when with comparable* effort you could dismantle it entirely and create orders of magnitude more habitable ecology in the form of free-floating O'Neill cylinders?

*(The solar gravity well is ~12 km/s deep and the Earth's gravity well is ~11 km/s, so dismantling the Earth and ejecting it are ~similar)
This process won't help equity, but that's not a problem.

We can simply pass some rules and regulations requiring a certain percent of every group to be hired.

If this presents problems and causes an important company or industry to start failing, then we can pass some rules and regulations mandating they cannot stop production, hiring, or declare bankruptcy.

And if they owners decide to cut their losses and try to leave the country, we can pass some rules and regulations declaring that a crime and we can impound their property to continue the company.

The similarity of this to Venezuela's shortages is purely coincidental, I assure you.
Those are very big assertions. If you think indirect transactional chaining is secure, then why do we need the level of blockchain activity we have? If you think there is a direct mapping from energy use (POW) to security, then you are asserting POS has no value?

> Regulatory capture is an economic theory that regulatory agencies may come to be dominated by the interests they regulate and not by the public interest. The result is that the agency instead acts in ways that benefit the interests it is supposed to be regulating.

Regulatory capture doesn't sound like a desirable thing, and wouldn't do the desired regulating. What did/do you believe the definition is?
Why do you think the very same points about cost of living not apply here?
The U.S. defaulted twice on their obligations in real terms in the 20th century: once in 1934, and another in 1971. That was basically a "debt jubilee" - for the country. Not sure the average person could have profited off of either one though (at least not legally).

In 1970s you could have taken out fixed-interest rate debt (if you had the foresight), which would have been devalued as part of the 1970s inflation due to the 1971 Nixon Shock, so perhaps if you knew that you could come out ahead at the time.

Usually debt jubilees work by transferring private debts onto public sector and then having the public sector default in real terms (by devaluing the currency).
It's not at all hard to avoid using an app on your phone. I have an iPad and I use Google Photos. I've never used Apple's photo app.

Hey, speaking of reductive ... your interpretation of what I said is a great example of that.

As the parent poster said, most landlords are small-timers, but they get caricatured as New York slumlords scarfing down caviar while their tenants flinch over continually sparking bare wires flicker from a partially torn down kitchen wall. We have seen how the legislation passed for relief got warped to pay out to the big timers (just think of those hotel chains) instead of focusing on the smaller folks.

But when I bring up points like this, I just get the "well, if we abolished private property and everyone had a government-issued home ..." And the parent poster has had experience with that kind of comeback.
I live in CA and it’s very common for landlords to illegally attempt to keep all of the deposit with trumped-up damage charges. I’ve had success with aggressively worded legal threats to fight this behavior, but a lot of people lose their deposits this way. If the landlord is friends with a contractor who can write a receipt, they can get away with a lot.
Not that likely even in the event of a crash.

I understand and sympathize with this sentiment, but…

… vehicle-state-aware and charging-station-state-aware navigation with auto-routing to Fast Charging is a massively beneficial feature for electric cars. Before I got my used Model S (2013, BTW), I had no idea how important this would be in eliminating range anxiety and enabling road trips, and I’ve had both a plug in hybrid Volt and a battery-electric (fast charging) Leaf which I’ve attempted to bring on road trips (a massive headache and cognitive burden is managing charge state and location of fast chargers, hoping it’s not broken at your destination…).

Tesla solved this fantastically well with the Supercharger network integration into in-car navigation. Anyone planning new EV infrastructure in the US should study and experience the Supercharger network (& attempt to do a similar trip in a non-Tesla EV) before making policy recommendations and decisions on EV infrastructure.
And they're apparently pretty approximate, if being 'disengaged' means that you're only 18% less productive than your 'engaged' coworkers. And then they provide the striking statistic that it will cost an employer up to 2X the annual salary of the 'disengaged' worker to replace them - that's equivalent to ten years of their not working hard, doesn't seem worth it, somehow.
The phrases junk food and ultra-processed are somewhat vague, but are generally applied to foods consisting of highly refined carbs, sugars, fat. Very high sodium is ubiquitous as well.

It prevents folks who want to live here full time from buying and it drives up longer-term rental rates.

Again - correct but misguided in the general sense.

> It is the same reason the word for 'dog' in English is taught as being spelled D-O-G. There is no why behind it.

I agree with you completely, but I think you're guilty of speaking the wrong language in response to the question (and it would behoove you to consider it from the perspective of someone outside the field).

The question "Why" in maths almost always gets asked by someone new to the field, and they are not asking from a mathematical perspective - They are not asking you for a formal/provable "why", they're asking you what is the utility of learning this thing.

So lets go back to D-O-G. The utility is clear - I have this hairy, 4 legged animal that keeps licking me that I'd like to discuss with you. We can agree that D-O-G (or perro, or 개) refers to it.

But with math, SO MANY PEOPLE (especially those established in the field) jump right into the "Here are the rules of this system of math" without ever taking the time to talk about why someone might give a flying fuck.

It would be like me going and making up my own language and forcing you to learn it. No one else speaks it, it's got no books/literature/history, there are no works of art that reference it - it's literally the language this random person made up that serves ZERO purpose except for talking to that person.

No wonder so many kids don't like math!

Instead you need to explicitly start with the utility of math - ideally in ways that are entertaining and fun. Once a person has an application for some of the rules, they become SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING! Suddenly I care about why this rule might impact that rule over there, or why A and Z are related, or what sin/cos/tan mean.

Basically - sell me on the value proposition of your fucked up whacky language - That's what "why" is asking. Once you know those rules do something useful, it becomes a much more engaging field of study.
