Customers wouldn't generally do this themselves. They would outsource the job. Ie look for what reviews suggest etc.

I can dig up how that worked in practice in the free banking eras in Scotland and Canada.

> As you point out, regulators didn't even do that, and they are experts whose full-time job is to do this kind of analysis!

In general the regulatory regime for banking is a bit weird in this respect:

The government tends to give minimum quality standards for the balance sheets of eg banks, and then hands out an implicit (or explicit) guarantee that anything meeting these minimum standards is fine.

In the regime I am suggesting the government would at most force banks to truthfully disclose what's on their balance sheet, but would not put up any minimum requirements.

What happened in practice in Scotland and Canada is that banks would have very low reserves, for every 100 dollars in deposits and notes issued, they would keep around 2 dollars in gold around. (The equivalent today would be central bank reserves.) Basically, just enough to meet redemption demands in the short term.

But to make up for that, they would keep very thick loss-absorbing equity cushions. Typically about one third of their balance sheet were financed by shareholder equity, and the other two thirds with deposits and bonds etc.

Banks also put these equity cushions in their advertisements to prospective customers. So it seems they believed that customers cared about them.

In some instances, shareholders and directors were also personally liable for losses beyond their paid-in capital. (Ie no limited liability shield for them.)

Interesting enough, the latter is also how eg Goldman Sachs used to be run when it was still a partnership and not a public company.

Sure, I get the censorship issue but there’d be nothing stopping you select a blocklist which you politically and socially align to. AFAIK unlock origin does this, so why baking that directly into the browser makes you so mad is beyond me.

And absolutely insane is a dig at this distopia where we’re allowing advertising companies to drive the technology which would arguably be more valuable than currency.

But sure, off to Reddit I go, just because you don’t like the way I talk.
Seems like a reasonable response. Apple has now revealed that they were capable of failing to consider the optics on this one which is worrying regardless of what happens next. It's really unbelievable that we now live in a world like this. Yet another reason that I feel like I stumbled into a dystopian novel these past six years or so. Never imagined I would live to see something like it.
Does anyone know how much coal will be burned in order to manufacture "60,000 GW of panels, at roughly 1 km^2 per GW"?

Also, how much land will need to be dug up to get the amount of quartz required for this?

This article feels like it’s saying “Imagine you’re ignorant of how elections work. Imagine you also don’t now much about history, or about statistics. Imagine you’re too lazy to google the word “gender” and read Wikipedia. Now do you understand why someone like this would be skeptical of a new vaccine!”

I understand perfectly well why massive amounts of people are forgoing vaccination. Right wing media and the social media ecosystem have twisted their brains so bad they’d prefer to go to a farm supply store and take horse dewormer.
It’s not just your house, it’s everyone’s house. Our smartphones and computers are our digital homes. When something is installed in those homes which monitors everyone for potential crimes, that is what I would label as an unreasonable search and a violation of privacy. It doesn’t matter what they’re looking for, our personal devices should be inviolate unless there is a suspicion of crime, and even then a court order should be involved.

What apple doesn’t understand is that scanning on the device is worse for privacy than scanning on the server, not better.

The people in hospital are not taking Ivermectin as prescribed by a physician. They're buying horse dewormer and dosing themselves.

Its nuanced and it really depends on what they're removing, why they're removing it, and how it will affect people in the end.

A corporation removing a site with the goal of stripping vulnerable women of their reproductive rights and and policing their bodily autonomy by reporting them to the state is something I support 110%.

HN is all about fighting institutions that are actively eroding our right to privacy until said institutions set their crosshairs on women (or other minority groups). It's tiring.
From the FDA on the horse formulation:

'Ivermectin Products for Animals Are Different from Ivermectin Products for People

For one thing, animal drugs are often highly concentrated because they are used for large animals like horses and cows, which weigh a lot more than we do—a ton or more. Such high doses can be highly toxic in humans. Moreover, the FDA reviews drugs not just for safety and effectiveness of the active ingredients, but also for the inactive ingredients. Many inactive ingredients found in products for animals aren’t evaluated for use in people. Or they are included in much greater quantity than those used in people. In some cases, we don’t know how those inactive ingredients will affect how ivermectin is absorbed in the human body.'

The operating system now needs to natively support the 64-bit z/Architecture, but application compatibility still goes all the way back to System/360.
>I did not claim it was exclusively for horses

Nope, you only strongly implied it. Ivermectin is not a livestock drug. Ivermectin has been used for 50 years in humans and is approved for that purpose. Ivermectin is not a "livestock drug" anymore than steroids are a "chicken drug".

Doesn't mean it's safe at animal doses, but it does mean you're being inflamatory, misleading and fueling misinformation on this topic (to the detriment of people who actually need the drug).

Here's the phrase you used: "horse deworming medication". You also falsely implied the CDC warned people not to take it in any circumstance, which seems to hint at your lack of knowledge on ivermectin. Consider not jumping on misinformation bandwagons, because you're making this all worse.
The parent comment does not claim it's not approved by the FDA. They simply say it's toxic at the wrong dose, which your source says as well.

It is something that can easily be taken wrong (given it has interactions with other meds), that's why people should take it under the direction of a doctor.

I feel bad for that new guy. I hope that was not the actual conversation.
Is the rotation (or orbit) of the Earth a driven process, or one based on momentum alone? What's the thermal process driving the rotation or orbit?

That is: as the Earth rotates or orbits, is it going through some cyclical energy potential flux of any significant magnitude?

I'd maintain that it's not.

The rotation of an astronomical body, or its orbit, is reversible in ways that thermodynamic events are not. If you were to observe a single body spinning in space, or two bodies orbiting one another, you could not tell from a simple observation of the movement whether you were seeing the motion played forward or backward.

(With sufficient numbers of bodies, or a sufficiently long period of time, this would eventually be disernable. But not at a macro level.)

For other thermodynamic clocks, this seems in general not to be true. Not only does a clock measure time and do so using a thermodynamic gradient, but we can tell which way is forward in time by casually observing the clock itself. Weights fall, springs unwind, batteries discharge, chemicals dissipage or entropise, etc., etc.

That is, an orbit is unlike falling sand, a discharging electric cell, an excited atom, or an unwinding spring. It's not even a periodic exchange of potential for kinetic energy as with a pendulum.
yep, i think this is a very real paradox

banning misinformation might work short term, but longterm i suspect it will further harm things... long term credibility needs to be won back the hard way me thinks...
I think this could also depend on your target users. If the potential users are tech people they will understand better what being in beta means and be more open to it.

I'm not sure this is also the case when we're talking about business/non-tech users
This is already the case with the iPhone. They could theoretically update it with software that does whatever they want at any time.
Apple can make their own ISA additions closed source, but they can never prevent anyone from using the Open Source base they started from, or later additions to it.

In my experience, the actual medical treatment time is quite short.

It is the gathering of all the extensive information for billing and payment that takes all the time, from those that have the means, or insurance to pay. They need to gather enough info on you to fuel the bill collectors in other cases... EMTALA[1] did not come for free after all.

> because US laws require a posting

US law does not generally require a job posting before hiring an employee. There are exceptions, however, including government employers, some government contractors, and employment of foreign nationals (e.g., H1-B visa workers).
I think the article starts with complaints about incompetents devs, then it heads towards complaining about automated QA, increased complexity and faster paces.

In the end, overall, it sounds like an incompetent ops, who is unable to keep up with the pace of this industry, complains about incompetents devs and that industry does not wait for people to catch up.

These are all wrong.

Complexity comes with valid reasons. High demands thin out the pool of competent devs/ops. We, the lucky bunch who earns 2x-3x salaries of other professions, should be the most humblest bunch, especially if there is frustration within ourselves about the fast growing reality.
China can make that regardless of what Apple thinks, that’s totally unrelated to this.

Also this technology does not develop similar images, the image has to be essentially identical…
I am really missing something in this whole thing. Everyone is already partnered with gov. Gov have access to all the servers. So that doesn’t explain this outrage, Microsoft, google, Apple will all comply with warrants asking access to cloud stored data.

The outrage was: Apple were spying ON the device. But then they explained, they were hash matching so they didn’t need to give unfettered access to your cloud data.

The device doesn’t notify police, it has protections from false positives and is no MORE access than any company already has.

This seems like outrage with no substance behind it. Gmail scans your mail, Facebook your messages (on and off device). Why is Apple suddenly terrible for doing something that seems to honestly improve the situation not make it worse?

You’d be served well to assume every news report is bullshit until proven otherwise. Whatever side you’re on.
one theory is that this is a product of the capital vs labor struggle...as madison wrote, "divide et impera" is how the elite can rule america...wokeness might be considered a divide et impera tactic to turn labor factions against each other, thus empowering elites, i.e., Capital

I used to have a QNAP NAS and it was really underwhelming.

Upgraded it to a Synology 918+ and haven't regretted it even once. Added an SSD for read caching, upgraded memory to 12GB a year ago. The SSD cache has a hit rate of 88%, reducing the need to hit the spinning drives as often.

The Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) was one of the main reasons I got a Synology NAS, I started with a random assortment of drives of different sizes and it just made a volume with those. Every time I run out of space, I upgrade the smallest one and tell the NAS to expand the volume. It just works.

Running a dozen or so Docker containers on it + native Plex package. It can even transcode video with hardware.

The only way I can realistically upgrade from that setup is to build an actual PC with Unraid or something similar and that'll be a noisy power hog unless I spend mucho $$ on it.

It's not a straw man when you're literally claiming the media isn't talking about those other issues, in response an article talking about how every possibly explanation gets mentioned except climate change to boot.

On top of that, given that the main driver for these disasters is in fact climate change, focussing on everything else is like a doctor insisting on giving general health tips to a patient whose leg is broken while pretending to not see the latter.
Yeah, I tend to think "woke" as a sneer word is just the new "PC/politically correct" as a sneer word.

Corporations wouldn't be engaging in this kind of token support for progressive issues if they did not believe such issues were broadly popular. Such organizations rarely do anything for free. The token support is a reflection of something in the culture.

Most of the "backlash" to "woke stuff" is a working-through of the cognitive dissonance this notion brings for certain people/organizations. They cannot believe that such ideas can have even token support among the broader public. So it gets framed as some sort of virus, or as an orgy of cynical virtue signalling. But in order to virtue signal, you need somebody who understands (and ideally even shares) the virtue that is being signalled.

Your entirely reasonable comment being flagged currently is an example of this cognitive dissonance at work.

There are many valid critiques of so-called "wokeness" but most of them come from angles that reactionaries generally dislike.

So this is step 1 then and we’re basically waiting for an event for step 2, because “privacy-preserving” surveillance system is production ready at this point and is going to be deployed in near term.

That seems completely irrelevant to the story at hand.

It is also pretty easy to see why the Chinese would wish to have a standard national language that everyone understands and not just people speaking a hodgepodge of mutually unintelligible ones, if you give it honest consideration. Japan, their model for building a modern state, as well as Europe, just had the good fortune to get through this process before modern sensibilities made it taboo. Even US states have taken action to prevent bilingual education and education in nonstandard English dialects such as AAVE.
>Something rotten is making livestock paste look a lot better to these people than taking a chance in a well-reputed doctor's office. What is driving the rural, poorly educated American to buy livestock medicine from the tractor supply store instead of going to the doctor?

It started with Trump denying Covid was a threat because it'd tank the economy to take precautions against it before the elections. Of course it blew up anyway. So all the right wing media and pundits denied it was a danger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh4uS4f78o

It's way easier to spread misinformation to gullible people than it is to counter it. The HCQ mania started with Fox News hosts misinterpreting studies and then telling Trump that it was a magic cure, the govt scientists were not in the loop. So when scientists tell the truth, suddenly it's their fault somehow.

The party of personal responsibility should own up and stop blaming others for Republicans' propensity to fall for political and social media BS.

So yes, "elite" in the post you're replying to really is being used to mean "people you imagine who you don't agree with".
