> You are effectively asking is why is there a single routing table for the internet.

No, they're asking why a single set of routers is in charge of announcing BGP routes for all of facebook. If you have multiple ASes, with independent configuration sources and independent routers broadcasting them, it's a lot harder to break everything at once.
It's not insane, it's a deterrent for future misbehavior. Maybe now, Tesla's shareholders will consider making adult supervision a priority at the firm.

If the one time you catch a shoplifter, the only punishment he'd get is having to pay for the item, every single person entering a store would start stealing.
> Does creepy sex tourism make up a noninsignificant amount of it? Yup

nah, I've been in Thailand for almost 5 years and managed to avoid all of it without any extra effort. You need to actively seek out "sex tourist" scene. In fact digital nomad scene is becomming huge here!

If anyone needs some Thailand tips my contacts are in my profile :)
I think if anything, you need a longer attention span to read articles like this. I can no longer quickly skim through an article to get the gist. Instead I have to read every single "paragraph" because there's no way to know which ones are worth reading. That's much slower and requires much more attention.
I was responding to the last sentence: "If Apple is using iPhones to pair location and MAC addresses of nearby devices, that is indeed "location being tracked by other people's iPhones"."

My AirTags have their "location being tracked by other people's iPhones".

Sure - if we believe Apple (and I mostly do here) that their protocol and encryption works the way they describe, and that there's no bugs or back doors - then the only person who get to see my AirTag's location is me.

But that still means "And Apple have clearly decided that’s ok" that my AirTags have their "location being tracked by other people's iPhones". They're selling me products on the assumption that your iPhone (and everybody else's, or at least enough other iPhone owners to make it useful) will happily listen out for bluetooth signals from AirTags, power up their GPS to get a current location, encrypt a bunch of data, then use your cellular data plan to send it to Apple for me.

I'm sure 99% of the people on HN, if you'd told them 10-15 years ago that's what their phone would be doing by default in 2021, they'd have laughed at you and called you delusional. Or asked which dystopian scifi writer came up with that insane plot device.
I did some reading just now on state vs trait curiosity and I'm having a hard time understanding the difference. Can you give me an example?
>>Disruption could also come from tax reform.

I'd say that's the most appropriate place, really. It's a designed system, sort of. It's malleable, in that changes occur regularly. The obvious place for bug fixes is here.

I get your pessimism in the sense that the same dynamics, politics and systems that have shaped the present problem seem unlikely to have the desire/capability to fix it. OTOH, things stay the same until they don't. There have been a lot of tax systems invented over the last N thousand years. 99.N% of those tax codes are currently extinct.

Also... we're due a shift of reigning economic religion, periodically speaking. Maybe the next one will take a differing view on efficiency.

Stuff like taxes were always enigmas productivity-wise. For a mill, product-out/labour-in = labour productivity... or product-out/capital for capital efficiency. Either way, efficiency is self evident. For a tax code, legal system or whatnot, there's no way to measure output and no "economists agree" way to know the value of the output even if you could. It could be negative.

Well... This now also applies also to JPMorgan, Pfizer, Alphabet, FB and such. Just like it's not obvious that more legal procedures = more justice, measurements of most of the economy's output is increasingly ethereal and unrelated to obvious scarcities.

That don't mean nothing definite, but we are in times of change... which means don't bet on long term saminess of most things.

Oh, you’re giving us Americans too much credit, credit card fraud happens all the time. It’s like a constant thing you have to watch out for, and I’d estimate happens once every couple of years for most people. Either straight up fraud and theft, or just a recurring charge that will not stop no matter what. So the system is super broken and relevant to individuals, which is why people accept all the fees maybe. It’s not a sign that Americans are ok with a communal approach to anything, we’re just as selfish as always with this one. Sometimes it does feel like a third world country.
> It would be odd to describe it as an emotional motivation and not a behaviour.

On the contrary, I can certainly imagine (from experience :-) ) being curious about something but too lazy to actually find out. Just like someone can be hungry but too lazy to go out and get food, but they're still hungry (I'm not sure whether such a person could be described as "greedy" though). I think that all confirms the parent comment's point that some forms of curiosity don't lead to better outcomes.

Actually we have this practice in Europe too and it is legal. Do note it is for civil disputes only.
Another way to see the situation:

Internet is just a bunch of computers interconnected via tons of cables (hence the name; "inter-networked computers").

To be reachable, every equipment and computer constantly need to tell the others about their existence (to publicly announce on which network cable they can be reached at).

Facebook engineers wanted to optimise that system but accidentally broke it during the update.

As a consequence, after a few minutes, other computers didn't know on which cables they can reach Facebook.

Facebook had to call the technicians sitting in the datacenter to cancel the last change that was done (because the Facebook engineers couldn't themselves connect from the office) and everything was fine again.
Many people love to work at let's say, a nucleair powerplant or certain aspects of the military and experience similair pressure to not fail.One could say such work is not for everyone but to state it's "crap culture" is somewhat disrespectful towards the people who do it and the masses who suffer when things go wrong.

> Why Tesla has to pay because some morons were telling racist jokes?

Because in the United States, it is the responsibility of those morons' manager to discipline them for that kind of behaviour (And the responsibility of his manager to discipline him, if he fails to do so, and so on, and so on up the chain.) If the manager had done so this would have far more likely been a $0 settlement, rather than a $137M one.

The company, instead, chose to protect those racist morons, rather than protect the plaintiff. Now it's discovering why this is not a smart corporate behaviour, and why it should not repeat it in the future.
Without any further details, the 137 millions is basically a bait to raise reactions.

A ton of it will evaporate before reaching the plaintiff. A huge part must be punitive damage for Tesla, and they'll appeal and some court in the middle with play the "poor poor Tesla" song and slash it to nothing.

Then the plaintiff will still have been in the news for these 137 millions, be paraded as some abuser of the system, while having been abused for one year, losing their job and getting mostly nothing out of the whole thing.

That makes me wish Tesla would have to actually pay and the guy runs away with these 137 millions that are just a drop in the bucket for Tesla and won't be in our pockets either way. Just let him have his money, it's not like he's an enemy of humanity or 20 thousand copycats will try to get abused in the elevator for a year.

PayPal is awful and I am not talking about the fee. The developer experience is so disgusting. Their developer portal is completely useless, it does not show any data. They have 5 different documentation pages about one thing, each one is more outdated than the other. If you want to onboard merchants on your platform you will have no way of seeing the connected accounts. Their button that you can integrate on your website is super heavy, it wastes so much data just to show the div, do not try to click on it if you do not want to lose a few megs of data.
Where can I sign up for this? A year? I'll be generous and do it for 100mil.

They could make them pay few mil to the person and rest to charity or something.
I cannot follow a plan. I know what I need to do but do not do it.
$137M very obviously incentivates people to engage into frivolous litigation.

Only a fraction of that money should be awarded to the victim. The rest could as well go to charity, or our public health system, etc.
It just a guess, but from experience with BGP and associated redundancy systems that most likely was in place, if everything doesn't return immediately then you have a big fight on your hand to not only stop the non-functional redundancy but also reestablish the peer connections with associted hearthbeat/processes for establishing and maintaining the peer connection. My understanding from what people write about configuring BGP and the system around it seems to imply that the best practice in this circumstance is to kill everything, fix the original error and then turn on things slowly again. Then fix the broken redundancy configuration. Then test the redundancy system regularly in the future.
Right but did they get money? Did they get the missing coin replaced? Is the price volatile enough that getting dollars instead of coin less attractive?

Thank you for speaking my language. I couldn't parse through the other comments. To build on your thoughts, curiosity for me is the short-circuit ability to feel the fun chemicals just by thinking. That moment of aha connection is what I live for. I've found my curiosity just gets me that chemical high, which is why I keep doing it and keep coming back for more. My guess is in the past this chemical high led to more food and more fitness because my ancestors spent time contemplating the world around them, leading them to figure shit out. I love your point of outsourcing information connections via culture and cognition so as to not waste space epi/genetically. But I would counter that epi/genetics lacks the dimensionality required for dot connecting the universe. That z axis can only be computed in real-time and with all the sensory waveforms mixing states across neuronal circuits. To try and code that into epi/genetics seems impossible; the feedback/react time just aren't on the same timescales. You need a flywheel connection.

Would Tesla be open to lawsuits if they fired African-American colleagues who used racial slurs (including the n- word) in a "friendly" manner?

From the article:

“In addition to Mr. Diaz, three other witnesses (all non-Tesla contract employees) testified at trial that they regularly heard racial slurs (including the n-word) on the Fremont factory floor. While they all agreed that the use of the n-word was not appropriate in the workplace, they also agreed that most of the time they thought the language was used in a ‘friendly’ manner and usually by African-American colleagues.”

> overlap

In fact, in many of our experiments, trait curiosity is a moderately good inverse predictor of state curiosity (negative correlation). In other words, if you rate yourself as a generally highly curious person, then we can slightly predict that you will not be curious about the task at hand. This slight anticorrelation is unusual! I think that some people like to see themselves as generally curious, but maybe not many people really are? Dunno for sure, though.

> if trait curiosity doesn't get you those things, is the implication that state curiosity does?

Yes. State curiosity, or rating high curiosity about the task at hand, gets better results in complex problem solving. There might be some sort of affinity effect. If you like complex problems, then you're more curious about complex problems, and therefore tend to do better at them. Maybe? Makes some sense.

Causation is difficult to show. Are you curious because you are good at it and want to know if you're right? Are you good at it because your curiosity has led you practice and learn how to solve these problems? Still, the effect is consistently there.

> Where does retrospection lie with regard to curiosity?

Probably depends on what you mean. Curiosity can be both relatively fleeting and quite long lasting given differing circumstances, so I'm not sure I can say much without clarification.

> is that an example of state curiosity?

First, I'd say that wiki stub about state/trait is lacking. I can see why you'd be confused. I do not recall reading a great "here's what state/trait are", just more like reading 1000s of papers. The research on the personality trait of curiosity and the state of being task-oriented curious perhaps surprisingly do not overlap very much. Your example could be an example of either trait or state. If generally you like to know how things work, then that might indeed be an example of trait curiosity. When you want to know how this $widget right in front of you works, and you spend time taking it apart and reassembling it until you are satisfied, then that might be an example of state curiosity. And so you can be one without the other. You can want to know how things work, without really bothering to investigate. Or you can not want to know how everything works, but really want to know how this one $widget works. Or both. There's nothing that says you cannot be both. The anticorrelation is 1) weak, and 2) not necessarily causal.

Rough quote: Technically, if these trousers were made from infinitely thin fabric, then this shape is not equal to this shape because of the twist problem. However, fabric is not infinitely thin [...] so I'm prepared to say a real pair of trousers are homeomorphic to the same pair with the ends of the legs stuck together.
One of the many things I despise about the NHS’s (UK universal health system) bureaucracy is that for some brain-dead reason they insist on calling on withheld numbers. I’ve been conditioned into ignoring withheld numbers by years of scammers, spammers, and even a nutty ex who’d use it to try getting around my call blocking. They also seem to have call waiting systems designed to be as frustrating as possible so people give up and just suffer with their ailments without deigning to bother the NHS about them.

I’m so glad the world seems to be slowly adopting a policy of “text before call” even if a few family members have picked up an irritating habit of using recorded voice messages rather than texting (I disabled my voicemail a decade ago for a reason). It should be considered rude to call people without warning them I think.

> You don't see what being connected as a whole (world) has to do with creating social calendar dates? Really?

Well firstly I meant economic globalisation, I was thinking in terms of trade; it seems it has broader/other usages too that I didn't realise.

They don't need to stick, very few do, you hear for the first time about world tie day in late August, maybe get persuaded to buy a wacky new tie, and then forget all about it - or at least when it is - again.

Just move to another country that hasn't made deals with tax companies. Believe it or not, the government is perfectly capable of doing your taxes for you. There is no reason to waste your time on this every year other than corporate greed.
Not, by any measure, the same problem, since a company has no intrinsic right to exist. In fact, if the legal system needs to be hostile against a company so human rights are upheld, that company's very existence should be put in question.
Each time you binge drink a few consecutive nights/days you body has to adjust to the sedative weaning off.

For the first 100 or 1000 or 5000 times it's OK. Then you start showing physical symptoms. Little anxiety. Headache. Light sweats.

Once this starts (showing physical symptoms) you can never binge again without them showing up. And each time they get worse. Progresses to morning shakes, seizures, even death in extreme cases. All from binges you happily came out of as a teenager.

Do you just use PayPal to accept credit/debits cards? Because there are alternatives to Stripe. They aren't as well made, but they do exist.

Putting the $ in Micro$oft
This isn't the problem, but that it almost always makes sense to use signed math for computations (including computations that involve sizes). And mixed-sign-math in a language that doesn't have robust over/underflow detection but implicit conversion between signed and unsigned is usually a very bad idea. The only advantage that an unsigned size_t gives is one bit more range (but these days this is irrelevant - 63 bits ought to be enough for anyone). But this topic really has been discussed to death in the last decade or so :)

I must admit I have no idea what your point is.

Debt is a very specific word. Yes you can get capital by going into debt. But just "capital" can also mean it was yours to begin with. Debt means you created an obligation to somebody else, which is additional information. You have X amount of money - capital - but there is a difference if you get it by borrowing or if it was already yours.
That high level overview doesn't really mean it isn't stopping infections. In a place with ~50% vaccination a larger portion of unvaccinated are taking additional isolation precautions either by intelligence or by force, but infection could primarily be from a minority of super spreaders to others, etc so this data doesn't indicate that the current transmission mode would be possible in a highly vaccinated population.
