> What about IPv6 makes it such a chore to become widespread?

Any code storing an IPv4 address in a uint32_t can be hard to port to IPv6. Likewise, many codebases have their own ad hoc parsers for IPv4 dotted quads and would choke on anything else.
These authors and their works are all cited and discussed in the series. Some of the authors you cite even bash each other; Thucydides calls Herodotus a bit of a fabulist.

IIRC, the man asked "why did you shoot me" (as he's on the ground, bleeding) and the cop replied with "I don't know"
We don't have the words to describe how quickly these nonlinear recurrence relations grow. Many program synthesis problems are essentially super-exponential. Look at the Ackermann function, which describes the complexity of many decidable algorithms as you increase problem size -- it's a different kind of scaling altogether.
I mean this completely unironically: cops are mostly armed bureaucrats. The vast majority of their function is to basically hand out tickets, police reports for insurance reasons, and to a lesser degree arrest people for whom there is an arrest warrant. Actually stopping crime in progress is more a factor of luck than an intended role, and not one they have any legal obligation to do.

The fact that we tolerate this level from people who probably don’t even need to be armed is insane.

Hell, red light cameras and speed cameras could probably save a lot of lives purely by eliminating unnecessary police/civilian interactions, let alone whatever road safety function they’d perform.
First of all, your first question is a strawman because local police, as being discussed here, are not the ones performing arrests in cases of tax evasion. Rather, federal authorities would be the ones handling tax evasion.

Nope. But they have become more understanding of those who are so long as performance is improved. Many will still require you onsite, but they don’t care where you fly in from.
Should we not hold the people who are given a higher amount of power to a higher standard? I feel like the only way that it makes sense to have some sort of Leviathan-esque system is if we have assurances that the enforcers can be trusted.

Don't forget AWS CloudWatch for logs.

Cost for log processing is $0.50 per GB and the minimum size of logs (just for the START/END/REPORT lines output by Lambda itself, before you start logging any of your data) is about 260 characters (or 260MB/million == $0.13/million).

Honestly, unless you have gone out of your way to implement something that isn't CloudWatch for logs (and there's almost no documentation on how to do that), its not hard to get an extra 5-10KB ($2.50-$5.00/million to process by CloudWatch) of logs per request.

Like AWS egress charging, CloudWatch Logs can quickly dwarf the cost of using the services themselves.

This isn’t technical progress but is regulatory progress.

Technical progress is the current limiting factor so I agree that it is more important to emphasize right now.

On the other hand, I disagree that user videos on YouTube is a sign of progress. 1. There is an obvious selection bias as only a minority of people with access to the software actually upload videos. 2. The videos are qualitative in nature and it is not feasible for a single human to go through all of them and form an objective opinion on the state of the art. So it’s prone to confirmation bias too.

I’d argue that there isn’t a common yardstick of technical progress for game theoretic reasons but I’d love to see one.

I feel that there is an intentional device that the author came up with this abstract fallacy after reading a bunch of examples. However I've never read a tutorial on monads, but I totally understand the point of the article.

Someone else posted the chart for these terms, https://ac-journal.org/journal/vol3/Iss3/spec1/huang_jia.htm..., but I'm guessing the reasoning is probably very similar to patrilineal naming in many Western cultures, where children take the last name of their father. Using that criteria, another name for this relation would be "Female cousin who is younger than you, with a different last name". That is, only your father's brothers' kids will have the same last name as you. Your mother's siblings (brothers or sisters) and your father's sisters' kids have different last names.
Usually not a requirement but it's a "nice to have" sometimes.

These stories are true for any major defense contractor. Working at a large defense contract is always a coin flip. I know people who have loved it from day 1 ( aka people who have been there 15+ years) or have left after a year or two.

It seems defense contractors do not care for new hires. They will always give senior staff favor and not push younger staff to become better.
In HP-UX 10.20, there was a single perl4 binary that dates from 1993 in /usr/contrib/bin (I checked our K380).

Had Perl held to a single binary, it could be inside busybox.

Perl cannot be inside busybox, and that hasn't been possible since 1993.
Pretty much. Just averaged over sufficiently large number of devolpers. And since the developers are the one that the code is read by then it's perfectly reasonable.
>> "The most familiar API for Object Storage, and the API R2 implements, is Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3)."

Ugh - a clone of S3's functionality - that's not competing.

There's been zero innovation in cloud storage beyond S3's primitive capabilities. None of the competing services have gone beyond S3's stunted functionality.

Online storage should provide:

* An SFTP interface (and no, Amazon's "charge by the hour SFTP interface to S3" doesn't count)

* The ability to query and apply filters to queries PLEASE! For goodness sake its 2021.

* A webDAV interface

* The ability to incorporate object metadata into filtering queries

Why is there zero competitive drive in this space?

PwC already had a hoteling system set up because their offices did not have set desks for each employee by design - many staff members spend at least part of the week at client sites, so it doesn't make sense to pay for a seat for each of them to be empty for days at a time.

The real news here would be if they were never required to go into a client office either, which obviously won't happen.
The issue is caused by the CNYoungerCousin(and so on) article title being 80-100 characters long without having a space in it. There’s no way to word wrap it and it breaks the style sheet.

If you browse HN /new with showdead enabled, there are often spam article titles where the spaces are replaced with ‘+’ and a long enough title without spaces will break the style sheet in the same way, which is how I found out about it and also how to fix it.

The solution is to click ‘hide’ on the offending article title and everything will word wrap correctly again.

I know if companies think they can do it, they will, but in consulting you’re often billing clients marked up hourly rates, so this makes even less sense. The hourly pay for a consultant is less a business constraint than it is for typical employees.
> Location does factor, however, into PwC employees' pay, Seals-Coffield said. Employees who opt to work virtually full-time from a lower-cost location would see their pay decrease

I see these types of rules as encouraging people into elaborate lies where people setup fake addresses in the closest high COL city but actually live 200 miles a way. Even if just for taxes, have an address that has no state income tax but you actually spend your time in the next state over that has an income tax.
People don’t fully appreciate how different driving in multiple locations/conditions is to a neural network.

Since most drivers only operate in certain fixed conditions often (e.g. driving to work or along certain routes during the day/night), people are going to get vastly different experiences of the same software.

This is why you get some people claiming FSD beta is a fraud and others claiming that it works well with 0 disengagements 99% of the time.

I think their tech is probably a LOT better than what you’re making it out to be but no where close to living up to its promise of full self driving.

How is putting cops in prison extra-judicial or cruel and unusual? I do think cops should get harsher sentences for abusing their power because, again, they're given extra power. If we cannot trust the enforcers of the law, then I am skeptical of the concept of enforcers. But of course I think there should be a standard trial and whatnot, I'm not suggesting we go to Mad Max or anything like that.

I'm not saying we summarily execute every cop who has run a red light, but I'm saying that if a cop does a bad thing, then it shouldn't be an outlier case for them to go to prison for it.
I have always wondered about the approach in the US of locally managed law enforcement departments. It's almost a given that such local oversight of a group with a societally granted monopoly on violence will breed corruption, nepotism and abuse as people with power collude locally. No other major country I know of has this system. Law enforcement oversight is almost always at a provincial or national level.

I understand the historical perspective of how this originated as the country was settled but why does it persist?

Could anyone knowledgeable share perspectives?
Well,

I noticed too that the author calls this the "monad fallacy but nothing about the argument is specific to monads. The main claim is just "people just have to work through hard problems, there aren't shorcuts".

There is a difference between the use of force and the use of excessive force. When people talk about violence, they are usually referring to the latter.

Then there is the question of when is the use of force appropriate. Failure to pay taxes or rent rarely involves the use of physical force. It would be used as a last resort, after other methods have failed. Likewise, the alleged failing to stop for a stop sign should not have led to a physical confrontation unless it was initiated by the person being ticketed. Even the refusal to comply with a police officer should not result in the immediate use of force. There are other ways to handle it.
PwC is doing this because it means PwC can staff projects with single teams across wild time zone spreads. Work with Europe in the early AM, work US during the day, APAC at night.

This was experimented on during COVID and I’m sure their billable hours turned out great.

That said, good luck keeping tech talent with this nonsense vs pseudo-investment bankers. PwC is bleeding technical talent for a reason.

It's an easy to understand question if you have some distance from the subject and are not triggered by it.

If you're a cop, and you ask someone to stop because something is up, and they just don't - if they react in any suspicious way it may cause you to want to stop them.

It's going to be extremely rare to the point of 'never happening' that you come upon someone who is both 'deaf' and temporarily 'can't see due to light' so it's not going to cross your mind.

The person admitted resisting arrest - he's deaf, not blind. When officers are physically upon you, how on earth do you not know it's them?

His lawyer said he was 'blinded by the car lights' which is understandable when the cops are behind the lights, but clearly not otherwise.

So there's a lot of room for the truth here, both parties could be innocent, both parties could be guilty.

Even more nuanced: both parties could be just slightly guilty, i.e. the cops were taking a subtly more aggressive posture than they needed to, and the civilian did something he knew he shouldn't do, which was actively resisted arrest when he for sure knew they were cops.

So cops needlessly put hands on him but still without intention to do anything, he resists which results in escalation, they fall to the ground, he breaks his legs and then you have a headline.

The story feeds into the preconceived notions that people have, people are overwhelmingly more likely to fill in the blanks with their narrow views than they would be to consider the multitudes of nuances that lead to a situation. It's a rorschach test.

That said: I would say the '4 month' bit is outrageous, we don't quite know what happened, maybe the toss-up between the police and civilian got quite serious but I can't fathom why he was not out on bail.

Edit: I will also add, that the 'firing' of the cop is also meaningless in terms of determining culpability. The cops firing will be as ultra-political as when they close ranks and defend themselves, and is further away from actual justice than anything in a court of law. If the cop brought in a bad headline for the police force, he becomes a really easy target for the leadership as a potential scapegoat and political cover. "Oh look, we've reformed!". The details of the situation may be more complicated.

It's really odd how these institutions work, they are so deeply politically entrenched and work on the basis of power, it's almost as if they are incapable of acting with thoughtful nuance. Advancement in these systems comes entirely from 'playing the game' and having a stellar record on paper and that's that.
Most of us affected think it's very true. There are 60-70 million cars sold worldwide each year and many chips of different kinds in each.

Indexes are conceptual and semantic, they're curated.

Full-text search is typographical, it finds string literals (if you're lucky, regexes). But common terms or strings which appear frequently as substrings of larger words will trip you up (again: regexes can handle word-boundary search).

But trying to find a concept, such as the C, B, D, S or R programming languages, the X Window System, the band The The, or Alex Jones, journalist, vs. Alex Jones, batshit crazy conspiracy fraudster, won't be well servee you by FTS. An index will reveal those.

The distinction has some similarities to how Web search these days tends to expand search terms entered to attempt to interpret meaning rather than literal text. At Web scale, that's sometimes useful, often not. Within a single book where context is far more likely to be constrained, and the search space a few billion times smaller, the approach is much more useful.

Another thing an index offers is the ability to turn to it and get a conceptual overview of a book independent of the table of contents. At times when there are combatting ideas or authorities, it's helpful to be able to open a book, flip to the back, and see if it mentions some concept at all, as well as to see, at a glance, if it's a very brief mention (a single page), an extended discussion (several pages), or repeated occurrences throughout the work (numerous sections and references). (Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book specifically recommends doing this as part of an initial assessment of a work.)

An index will also break down complex topics by listing out subdivisions, say, "policy", with breakdowns of military, foreign, domestic, energy, trade, crime, justice, civil rights, etc., etc.

I'm also a fan of FTS, and it can be exceptionally useful. But it is not a total replacement for well-constructed, thoughtful indices.
So, you're saying that putting cops in jail is cruel and unusual punishment... Probably means we shouldn't do that to anyone.
