I don't think Crichton intended to imply a cause. But I guess it's just a bias toward believing the media and forgetting the isolated experience. I suppose there's an opposite effect at play regarding the media's treatment of COVID and recent politics, etc.
I disagree. You’re confusing network effects with monopoly. YouTube is not a monopoly.

Question I've never been able to get an answer to, although I haven't tried hard: is it illegal to keep your own supply of ammo for the rifle?

Possibly confounding issue: with the new SIG 550 the ammo was changed to use lead free primers, just like the GP 11 1911 ammo was changed to use non-corrosive primers far ahead of other nations (in the US, our first example was for the WWII M1 carbine). I wonder if the Army discovered those primers didn't last as long as projected....

There are also fairly basic lifestyle choices that drastically increase your odds of being murdered. If you aren't part of a gang, and you don't have a male partner with violent tendencies, your odds of being killed are much lower than the national average.

I wouldn't be surprised if the murder rate of my town of 100k people is about on par with a British or German town of 100k people, since we don't have any gang presence here.

HackerNews is notorious for censoring anything that falls outside its groupthink or threatens a portfolio company. It's actually one of the more aggressive censors on the internet.

Case in point from this very thread:

There is no free speech here.
I've never had an iPhone, but I could say the same thing about my old and current Android phones. I had a Galaxy Note 4 for a few years, the last Note with a replaceable battery, and I had spare batteries that I occasionally swapped in. When I upgraded to a Note 20 I thought "oh no I can't swap batteries" and bought a power bank along with it. I've never needed it, even when travelling. At the end of each day I usually have mid 80s percent battery left. The battery's only slightly bigger, but the power management is way better.
My guess is it's taking the system time to fill in the copyright year?
My comment is not limited to political discourse. The rates of firearm use in domestic and personal disputes in the US are a disgrace. Half of women killed in domestic disputes are shot. But even then, it only shows those cases where guns were actually used. We can only guess how often the threat of such violence, either explicit or implicit is enough to coerce or intimidate. The attitude that the correct way to fix this is for women to also become killers is frankly vile. Promoting willingness to kill as a path to a voice or Liberty in personal relationships or society is utterly immoral. That is not the kind of society we should be aspiring to build.
Yeah I (or rather my parents) got an Atari 800XL and it totally got me in tech. But yeah Atari was much better known for its having consoles (5200 and 7800 I think). I was never interested in those.

Especially because the Atari was very unpopular in Europe. The C64 was king. That also made it more expensive which was why I got the 800XL.

But it also meant much less software around which is how I started programming.
If you're talking the feeding mechanism, the FN P90 has something similar (though the ammunition is stored longitudinally rather than vertically).

Oh wait, I see now it's the burst-fire mode, where it doesn't buffer until after the 3rd round has been fired. I remember seeing that a while back; it is crazy.

Comparing the relatively densely populated, ethnically homogenous, lower income inequality E.U. states to the U.S. does not make for an equal comparison. Simply look at how the bulk of firearm homicides are restricted to perhaps a hundred or so ZIP codes nationwide to see the disparity. See Chicago for example. [0]

In effect, sure, but in implementation these aren’t comparable. Postal services usually come with monopolies and mandates that ISPs, telecoms and email servers usually don’t.

USPS has a monopoly on first-class mail in the US and a Congressional mandate to deliver to every address.
Most people outside US use public transportation. It is good way to kill time on commute. This is why bigger screens became hugely popular over time. Even in US, the subways are full of people looking at their phones with earbuds
This sounds good in theory, but when Microsoft did just that in 2011 with Windows 8, it ended up backfiring on them big time.

It's pretty clear Windows has organizational and structural problems. Mainly because every product they release is always only 80% there. For some reason, whatever it is, it gets mostly finished, shipped and then abandoned and moved into maintenance mode.

Yet, it works for them. They usually always win in whatever market they go after. So I can't say they are incentivized to fix those structural problems.
A better analogy is if you don't intend to run over someone with your car and they jump out in front of you, then you are not at fault, nor were you doing anything wrong.

Results do matter more than intentions, but sometimes results are out of your control or even disconnected from your actions. You may say something perfectly reasonable and yet someone takes unreasonable offense. Who is to define what is reasonable to say and what is reasonable to take offense to? In the past decades, the political left has taken us too far in the direction of giving a small minority tyrannical censorship power to silence by taking offense at whatever they dislike, and then cancelling the person who said it.
Correct. It's a good assessment and I stand by it.
Looks like the “every odd release is terrible” tradition is still strong in Microsoft.

Hi, dev here.
That's ununfortuante of the side effect of Apple TV not having "permanent storage" from an SDK standpoint every thing is a cache.

Commercial apps can use iCloud sync on tvOS, I tried adding that support and Apple banned my Apple ID without really telling me why but I think it was testing that feature.

I'm working on code to sync roms and saves with a desktop app (I just ported the whole app to native macOS Catalyst) or another cloud sync to workaround that limitation.

The tvOS page indicates this already and there is a way to manually backup and restore save states until automation comes.

This is not an issue on iOS or iPad OS and all other EMUs for Apple TV have the same issue unless they have their own cloud sync which I've yet to come across.
>Separately, Purdue is now in bankruptcy proceedings, to which the federal, state, and local governments are party because of their suits.

My guess is still the same. It's referred to "the perdue pharma bankrupcy" by the media, but technically the defendants involve the sacklers as well.
>"The Crime of Curiosity" is a great way to put it, because we're already banned from questioning a lot of areas of science on most major tech platforms.

I think the keyword that, in my mind, justifies the censorship here is "on most major tech platforms". Nobody is banning the discussion of these ideas in academic journals or HN or other places where curious people can go to discuss things - it's just making sure unverified, potentially dangerous theories aren't spreading like wildfire amongst the general population who _aren't_ curious and will assume whatever they're reading is absolute truth.
Just buy a brand new computer and throw your old one in a landfill. Easy!
> Also, "you" is different here -- Purdue Pharma is the bankrupt entity, but the Sackler family is shielded. Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers are distinct legal entities.

Can you link the docket?
This is correct. My current collectables (C&R and antique) are all capable of being fired, but I almost never do due to their value and risk of damaging them. Many are over 100 years old and there's a decent enough chance some irreplaceable part will break during use. I can also easily reduce their value by 1000s of dollars by doing something like this. I keep them because I enjoy their historical significance and the interesting mechanical solutions they embody, not for their ability to launch projectiles. When I'm ready to go to the nursing home, I'll sell them and get my money back or more.

A good percentage of the firearms out there are like this, which was my point for those not aware. Another good percentage are specialized for sporting use. Some are so inappropriate for combat that you'd be better off with a spear (e.g., if given the choice between a 50lb benchrest rifle and a spear, I'll take the spear).
It's a very interesting device in a very Spectrum-like form factor. It also has its limitations, much like the Spectrum itself - you're not going to code comfortably in resource-intensive languages with it.
> PS: I am strong supporter of Gun rights and proud gun owner.

I don't understand the pride bit.

It seems like a regrettable situation where your distrust of your fellow citizens is so strong that you are comforted by the ability to kill them with minimal effort.

(I'm in Australia, where we have some truly horrendous legislation, but I totally agree with our gun ownership laws here, and echo other people's observations that gun ownership does not seem to equate to, or ineluctably lead to, better laws / more freedoms outside the right 'to own lethal weapons' itself.)

Perhaps I could interest you in some Iain M Banks (taken from Excession) :

"It could see that - by some criteria - a warship, just by the
perfectly articulated purity of its purpose, was the most beautiful
single artifact the Culture was capable of producing, and at the same
time understand the paucity of moral vision such a judgement implied.
To fully appreciate the beauty of a weapon was to admit
to a kind of shortsightedness close to blindness, to confess to
a sort of stupidity. The weapon was not itself; nothing was solely itself.
The weapon, like anything else, could only finally be judged by
the effect it had on others, by the consequences it produced in
some outside context, by its place in the rest of the universe.
By this measure the love, or just the appreciation of weapons was a
kind of tragedy."
I agree, that is exactly what I think people always misunderstand about tolerance: You cannot tolerate something you agree with. That is called agreeing, not tolerance, by definition.

Tolerance is the wise behavior you should have, reserved for things you don't agree with, or even detest.
i liked the bit at the end where the interviewer asked "Why do you think the original 65x series is still popular..." and Mensch replied , "...People want to work with the 65x chips because they are accessible. You can trust the technology." i wonder if its a bit more: that (unlike very complex architectures) the 6502 was simple enough to be understood, but powerful enough to do something interesting. in short, a cognitive sweet spot.
> Using the new technology the glass or carbon fibre is separated from the resin and then chemicals further separate the resin into base materials, that are "similar to virgin materials" that can then be used for construction of new blades. Vestas said.

What are those chemicals and what happens to them after they are used?
Ok, so we can either enact gun reform like most of the entire world has done or we can completely alienate ourselves from other people in hopes they don't shoot us. Do you see why gun-ownership is an anti-social trait?
Everything is subjective. Especially laws.
The difference being the modern right wears their prejudices on their sleeve, whereas the modern left hypocritically denounces prejudice, and then deploys prejudice at the drop of a hat when it supports their cause. See: discussions about whiteness, about men, about hetereosexuals, about Christians, about "Karens", Trump's weight, etc.
nope in germany the law is 24 work days and if you have more than 12 days off per year it's preferably! advised to allow 12 or work days contiguously (but it's not a hard requirement it only comes into play if an employee wants to take it like that) (people below 18 have different rules)
also the employer is required to tell if days off will decay and force them to take them.

and work rules are always in favor of the employee so it can be extended but never reduced in a contract.
Kind of. The "Saturday Night Special", a racist term for a cheap handgun, generally refers to a Hi-Point or similar cheap polymer pistol, and used to refer to inexpensive revolvers. An heirloom may be a nice bolt-action or a Colt 1911 from one of the World Wars. Most modern guns are very good, though, especially compared to even 20 years ago. The Sig Sauer P365 is a great example, fitting 10+1 rounds of 9mm ammo into a complete package that would have barely fit 7+1 of .380 just 10 years ago.
Fun fact, some yogic teachings see the process of identification as a sort of possession by entities that get to pilot us when we identify with them.

As in - “I want X” where the I identifies w the wanting lets the wanting take charge.

Same with recognizing oneself as an ongoing singular personality.

ever changing identification with various things perceived as self.

I want to know what filesystems are most aligned with the idea of long-term storage and prepping for digital archaeology :)

Whether I “plan” to put data on some piece of media to be be touched for a decade or century or it just “happens”...i think it's something we need to be thinking about in the realm of digital preservation

In an ideal world... Sure: you can check your files on a highly-routine basis to ensure no bitrot has happened

In the real world... Stuff gets dropped on some random media and forgotten about

That's a problem - there is an enormous amount of data that's on perfectly good media, but that cannot be recovered because of filesystem incompatibility

them: I'd like you to carry this tracking device with you everywhere you go. It tracks your location down to a few meters. It tracks who you talk to and records your conversations. It tracks what you spend your money on. It sends us all this information, we save it, and provide it to the government when they ask. How about that?

us: That's Orwellian. It's a complete violation of privacy and likely illegal. I would never consent to that.

them: You can take selfies with it and play Cow Clicker on it.

us: I'll give you $500 for it.

them: There's a more expensive version where when people message you you can see if they are using the cheap version or the expensive version.

us: I'll give you $1000 for the expensive version.

them: The "pro" version takes better selfies.

us: I'll give you $1500 for the "pro" version.

them: You can only store 75,000 selfies on the "pro" version but you can upgrade to storage for 300,000 selfies.

us: I'll give you $2000 for the upgraded version.

Your Google search results show the date on articles do they not? If people are more likely to click on "Celebrity Net Worth (2021)" than "Celebrity Net Worth (2012)", then the algo will update to favour those results, because people are clicking on them.

The only definitive source on this would be the gatekeeper itself. But Google never says anything explicitly, because they don't want people gaming search rankings. Even though it happens anyway.
When neighboring states held slaves, their fellow Americans risked their own lives, reputation and property, in order to take as many as those slaves as possible into the northern states where they would be free. If some tyrannical bastard, in lets say New Jersey, was causing your fellow man harm, would you not join with me in attempting to free them?

It is by no means a perfect system, but I think a release value like it would be helpful in diverse times like these.

You should read Michael Knowles' Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds. Political radicals have explicitly defined tolerance to mean "don't tolerate dissenting views". I don't have the exact quote on hand at the moment or I would share it, but they were very explicit about their censorship goals.

The book also discusses how there has never been unbridled free speech. There has always been a standard of speech that allows some things said and disallows other things said. What's changed over time is the standards themselves, and many would argue they have changed for the far worse in recent years.
The per capita difference is revealing… As the most populous country in the world and a big investor in science, this doesn’t really surprise me.
eh, I have the 12 pro, 256gb. did not see much in the 13 pro that was interesting and most improvements will come with iOS 15 but between my ~$700 trade in value and subsidizing the rest of the device with some accrued points from my credit card company, might as well. I definitely have wanted the portrait video mode, since apps have been doing it for a very long time, Instagram at one point had the focus filter that did that.

from my experience, buying the expensive electronic ONCE gives a lot of benefits and choices, because the future purchases aren't that expensive.

sure, I'm still likely paying more than the person that brags about how they wouldn't imagine spending even $200 on a phone, so there is no real need to have that conversation and spreadsheet analysis

but between starting with up to date technology, instead of starting with 3-6 year old technology, and having a store of value, versus a decrepit paperweight, I'm into keeping my mobile devices refreshed. Specifically my iphone.

I use webcrawler.com, and IMO it's better than any other search engine for finding exactly what I'm looking for. Not what's "trending", or "popular", or what the sheeple are searching for. It finds the exact matching keywords that I'm looking for. No inference or other bullshit -- just the matches.

Such a relief to not wade through oceans of worthless crap any more.
Do not work in fast food. But if you have to, in part it is because you cannot work elsewhere. Which takes me to... bsd choices? But even if u did it... My grandparents were raised without welfare. They were not rich.

They saved money and reinvested parts in a house for many years and other things. This is a mindset. It is not about being rich or not.

That is how you usually get out of poverty. As for working in fast food, probably is a consequence of not studying or having chosen studies with little demand. It is the crude truth. We cannot blame those on others.

I understand how hard it is. But the reality is that there are even socialist experiments about removing prices in cooperatives in Russia for making I believe it was screws and nails.

Two cooperatives provided with the same number of employees, same resources. One made better pieces than the others. Which ones do you think people wanted? And that without prices, some pieces were more valuable. What this shows is that no matter how much u try to equal things, they will naturally shift away by themselves. Jobs, faster vs slower, skilled vs unskilled. Fighting that permanently... I do not see it as a good thing.
I'm reluctant purely on the basis of MS's track record of every second version since Win '98 being crap:

Win 98: good

Win ME: bad

Win XP: good

Win Vista: bad

Win 7: good

Win 8: bad

Win 9... well, #8 was so bad they had to skip a number

Win 10: good

Win 11: I'm not optimistic. 20+ years predict for badness.

I'll wait until either 1) proven wrong or 2) Win 10 is EOL'ed. I just upgraded, but if I need a new system & it comes with Win 11 then I'll just wipe it out and install 10.
