You're not forced to buy a car from a dealer; manufacturers are forced to sell new cars through dealers in order to guarantee owners have somewhere to go for service and parts.

Back in the early days of the auto industry car companies sometimes existed just long enough to sell some crappy cars and fold before angry customers with defective cars came calling.

That's why the laws around manufacturers having dealers exist, no matter what Elon Musk tells you.

Ever notice that bodywork, parts, and repairs for Teslas are very expensive and difficult to come by? Plenty of Teslas with relatively minor body damage end up in limbo for months or more even though the insurance company is ready to pay for repairs. Why? Tesla's bodyshops have long backlogs because there are no parts, because Musk is desperate to get as many cars out of his factory as he can.

Lots of Teslas also get totaled because Tesla charges outrageous pricing for replacement parts. Musk is exploiting the insurance industry.

Insult to injury is that Tesla can decide one day that your vehicle is too damaged for their tastes, and refuse to sell you parts. No other manufacturer does that, not even Ferrari, and that's really saying something.
IMO Mahabharatha's heroes (and all its characters in general) are closer to people who you may come across on a day-to-day basis; they all have various degrees of all the human traits. The story is also intimately human so it makes it easy to relate to say someone like Arjuna than to Rama.

It's all my take though so subjective.
Would it violate Godel's incompleteness to try and have Google implement its resource provisioning in GCP?
There is already a gigantic industry of people who buy houses, fix them up, and sell them. Doesn't seem very evil.
>And we're comparing this to apple, a company that has been basically DRM'ing components - even if you can buy the replacement you can't use it without it being "programmed" by apple.

Bit of a devil's advocate here, but by doing this they prevent themselves getting blamed when low quality replacement parts are cranked out on the cheap by companies who don't care if their customers' customers die in a
fire.

The headline if an iPhone with a third party battery exploding and injuring someone will be "This iPhone Exploded, You Won't Believe Her Injuries", not "iPhone with Knock Off Battery Explodes".

Apple wouldn't be as profitable as they are if they weren't anticipating things like this and planning for it years in advance.
I recently learned that my hard drive was encrypted with Bitlocker, had I not been attempting to get Genode running off a USB stick, I might have gone on for a year or to in blissful ignorance of how remarkable insecure my stuff was as a result of this.

It took about 12 hours to decrypt it, and restore sanity.

Availability is part of security, if it's encrypted, and you don't (or can't) boot just the way Microsoft wants, all your data is gone.

> I just with there was a Lisp like it that didn't run on the JVM.

There are a few, with varying degrees of distance from the JVM and varying degrees of similarity to Clojure.

- There's ClojureScript, which is Clojure transpiled to JavaScript.

- See also Lumo (<https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo>) and Planck (<https://planck-repl.org/guide-all.html>)

- There's Babashka (https://github.com/babashka/babashka), which is a natively-compiled Clojure interpreter, implemented with the Small Clojure Interpreter (https://github.com/babashka/sci) and GraalVM for native compilation.

- There's Joker (https://github.com/candid82/joker) with a similar mission to Babashka, but commonly used as a linter.

- There's ClojureCLR (https://groups.google.com/g/clojure-clr) on the Common Language Runtime.

- There's Cloture (https://github.com/ruricolist/cloture), which is Clojure in Common Lisp.

- There's Clojerl (https://www.clojerl.org/), which is Clojure for the Erlang VM.

- There's Pixie (https://blog.goodstuff.im/pixie), with Clojure syntax, but compiling to native.

- There's Ferret (<https://github.com/nakkaya/ferret>) which is Clojure transpiled to C++11.

- There are some Lisps that have borrowed Clojure's syntax:

- Janet <https://janet-lang.org/>

- Carp <https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp>

There are a variety of other Lisp-like languages listed here: https://github.com/dundalek/awesome-lisp-languages

I always wonder why people are investing so much energy and time to invent New tools instead oft using existing tools that already solve the same issues.
Just use ansible for that.
Does the original generator for those "Fox girl and broccoli man" videos still exist?
They keep going up until they don't, and then the Fed quantitatively eases the losses. Sounds like Zillow's problem was they didn't sink enough money into their scheme.
I am only aware of the US history, but the early laws barring opium dens had nothing to do with health concerns, they were anti-Chinese laws. At the same time as the dens were starting to be shut down, opium was a hugely popular panacea available in over the counter in every drug store.
iTerm2's implementation was basically unusable the last time I tried it, for details I can't remember well. One issue was that if you have iTerm swap the command key and option keys for in-terminal keybinds, it modifies them altogether when you're using the app, breaking command-tabbing out of the app, among other keybinds. (Having it swap these was something I did because it was necessary to get some combined modifier keystrokes to go through correctly, perhaps on pain of reconfiguring each of its escape codes to match xterm individually. I can't quite recall.) To get the behavior I wanted I ended up having to bypass iTerm's drop-down behavior in favor of some Hammerspoon automation. I put up with all of this because all other terminal emulators available on macOS were abominably slow, to the point that tailing a log in any tmux window makes the entire pane lag enough to make typing suck. (And the only way to get acceptable performance in iTerm2 was by enabling hardware acceleration.)

I'm glad that Windows Terminal added that feature this year. It's better than most terminal emulators on Windows in most other ways, too. I'll try it the next time I'm on Windows.
As a life long TR fan who enjoys the reboot trilogy, they can also run well on Linux with comparatively quasi-potato hardware! A decent computer would be nice but you can still enjoy the games without in my experience.

It’s amazing to me that the first two games play well on the integrated graphics card (intel HD 620) on a dell Inspiron from a few years ago. Haven’t played the third one on that laptop but the others run great on low settings which has provided me so many hours of enjoyment, so thank you!
I doubt that the official number of 5m is accurate anyway, it's probably much less.

It's a design problem. If they tested it with POC they would have noted down "well, our primative algorithm works well for light skinned individuals but not others"

And hopefully someone wouldn't have said "hmm good enough for me, let's ship it!"
Wow, way to trigger my Google PTSD. :-)

I think the only thing I would have added would be using some service that recently was changed so that someone could get promoted but does the same thing the old one did but with different bugs.
You only talk about politics, its so boring that you don't have any real talking points aside from regurgitating some complaints someone else had that you don't think up for by youself, and trying poorly to pretend you ever listened to the show. You used a talking point someone else made and haven't listened to him ever, why is that worth lying about when you can't name any episodes and just named politicians someone else listed to justify the conclusion you are pushing?
I have happy memories of printing lines of HHHHHH characters and tweaking hammer timings to get each character to print on both sides. Not to mention getting squirted from hot hydraulic fluid.

> Forgive me if I'm assuming your gender, but I see a lot of black-and-white thinking among male sysadmins/devops: it's good or it's bad, it's high quality or it's not.

Male lifetime linux nerd here, who started as a sysadmin, checking in just to say that I agree with everything "policy related" in your comments on this article. Knowing where to tune the knob between "high quality"/"good architecture" vs "can i just get this done now and move on?" is difficult, at least I don't know how it could be taught other than experientially.

IME, the predilection to see things as black-or-white is more correlated with age, than gender.

Anyway, "not all men". :P

I don't know about your first sentence. It seems more likely animals and humans would evolve to eat what they needed. That certainly seems like it would be evolutionarily preferred. But I do agree junk (which didn't exist through most of evolution) is easier to eat and that is part of our problem.
This article feels designed to insight flame wars. Is this really something we want on HN?
That's why you had these problems: you should have just let maps go down globally and then pointed the finger at the appropriate target to blame for it.

I'm only half joking about that too. The other half is that sometimes it is better to let the system collapse under its own weight when that's what is required to convince the right people the system is broken.
>algorithm

This just proves that you're assuming it's a software problem when it isn't.

This is basic GIGO. The light sensors feed poor quality data in for people with low contrast faces, so there's nothing the software can do about it.
I quote him probably a few times a year as saying, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” Farrow & Ball I think have a collection based on his prints, or at least a lot of what they do is inspired by it.

Does anyone still have the code for generating "Fox girl and Broccoli man" videos? I'm thinking of starting a small revival of this meme.
Indeed not uncommon and there's also people who died of totally different causes (car crashes) who were registered as dying of COVID just because they tested positive. we dont have any good data.

World-crippling _political_ response to the disease. My experience is that being in OK physical shape I was sick for a few days and recovered with no medical intervention.

Opinion: My gut feeling is that this video is a very important video -- for really understanding Physics...

It doesn't cover everything (no Physics video ever would or could!) -- but it is densely packed full of important concepts, IMHO...

Opinion: It should be watched and re-watched in the future...

I've been laboring under the incorrect impression that India was part of the "Near East" since it's excluded from the "Far East." Whoops.
While I agree with most of what you said, the idea that people are only against drugs because of backwardness or selfishness seems off. Is there any society that didn’t ban most drugs?

My preference to ban drugs mainly comes from the harm and way they hack the brain to lower the barrier of that harm. And because they are so powerful, not only do I think it’s immoral to have that harm done to another person, I also think it makes society worse when significant chunks of the population are incapacitated (and hampered from a better life) due to an addictive substance.

Another example of this is gambling, or social media to a lesser degree. We all agree they have harmful effects to the individual, and have strong capacity to make society worse for everyone - even if you don’t participate. So we’re better off in the long term if we contain their addictive powers.

As far as I can tell that’s a pretty progressive and empathetic opinion.
FWIW, they did save my ass a couple of times, and for that I'm thankful. But I don't think their pricing is elastic at all. If it were to cross $10/mo per machine, I'd just roll my own, as I have a number of machines, and it's not difficult to roll my own.
Where did I say they were fighting in our place? Previous comment suggested only US troops were involved.

There was that time when Google Photos started labeling black people as gorillas[1] in uploaded pictures. I suspect the training data for their classifiers "accidentally exclude[d] certain people": diversity & inclusion review would have avoided that kerfuffle.

> In particular, there appears to be gerrymandering, voter suppression, and worse on the Republican side [1]. I'm not aware of Democratic attempts to undermine the democratic system to any similar degree, but perhaps you can point me to some?

Certain Dem candidates also undermine the democratic process when they make false claims about voter suppression. For example "voter purges" are reported on as if they are voter suppression, but in fact they are routine list-maintenance carried out by state administrators to remove voters who have deceased or moved out of a jurisdiction. Stacy Abrams made unfounded claims that she lost due to some foul play / voter suppression, but this was not the case, she simply lost.

That said, undermining democracy is much more prevalent on the R side.
And dihydrogen monoxide is often used as engine coolant. Let's not get ridiculous here. The concerns are reasonable: this is the first time this technology has been deployed at scale. Using it is a risk, and not using it is also a risk (COVID is no picnic either), and one must look at the data before making decisions, if one is able to make data-driven decisions at all.
The FAQ has a "what about mmap?" section which gives some justification: https://webassembly.org/docs/faq/#what-about-mmap
The method that most frameworks and developers use to accomplish any form of "above the fold" reactivity, is to chunk portions of a page, where each of those chunks gets its own renderer, of sorts, and whatever other dependencies that particular section of code might need. It's incredibly easy to either accidentally include large dependencies within each chunk, or repeat a dependency across multiple chunks, or to accept it as a problem to throw money at -- because it's far cheaper to expand infrastructure than to increase hiring, and way more palatable to the financial team when the buck just gets passed on to the consumer. For some reason, it has never really bothered project managers that just "throwing money at it" is entirely antithetical to the point of "above the fold."
No, they're saying if you rent seek without contributing anything then you're shit. Which is correct. If you just contribute nothing then you're ahead of these rent seekers.
The will media covering large house parties because it is something that can easily get everyone outraged. People in the same poor situation hate seeing others break the rules or seeing unfairness. Meanwhile the extra long lockdowns can get ignored. There is only so much rage to go around.
This game needs to run as an application with the full privileges of my user account, rather than in a browser or something else safe, I can't audit it since it isn't open source, and you don't seem established enough to have a reputation. Why would I trust this?
No, not at all. They were trying to set themselves up as a market maker. They did not want to hold a position. They screwed up and got behind, which incurred the risk of the market moving against them (it did).

Matt Levine's Money Stuff column covered this in detail. Incompetence, not villainy.
This is an odd question. Since when do SaaS companies charge based on hosting cost? If their service is superior, people will pay for the saved time.

I asked a geologist this, once, although specifically only about precious metals like gold and silver. He said the natural churn of everything moving around the Earth tends to concentrate similar things together over time. For example a river bend separates more dense silt on one side and less sense silt on the other. This, but also on a grand scale throughout the whole Earth.

It's a start, but I still have questions.
Microsoft Kinect also had this issue. I know the one black engineer (that had little to do with the project) that repeatedly got pulled in to see if the test system worked with non-white people.

He left soon after.
You mean you struggle to install Clojure on a Mac? Clojure maintains a tap with Homebrew: `brew install clojure/tools/clojure` Leiningen should also have one but I don’t have that link on hand.
This kind of thing needs to have some exec sponsorship or at the very least awareness. Otherwise ICs just risk landing on the sword.

You can try but once there’s resistance is probably a better idea to find something else. Let management figure out why people keep quitting.

I don’t like giving this recommendation out but the other way can make for a career limiting move.

So am I allowed to 'rent seek' if I also contribute? Or is 'rent seeking' so bad, merely contributing isn't enough? Is there an amount of rent seeking that's ok? Or is any amount of rent seeking egregious enough to get you on the shit list?

HIPAA, maybe. HITECH and Meaningful Use would be more relevant (2009 onwards).

It's been a while, but I remember thousands of pages of granular user-interface-level requirements (think 'display of telephone number icons') to quality for federal recognition as an electronic medical record system. Hospitals/clinics not using a federally-approved vendor received increasing % penalties to their reimbursements as deadlines passed. Forcing through EMR adoption was meant to improve outcomes.. or something.

Some of the requirements are defined by references to standards prepared by consulting companies, which charge for access to these standards. Additionally, certification of compliance with standards was farmed out to a couple consulting companies.
They really buried the lede: GitLab forcibly took down a software repository just because the Chinese police asked them to, even though it didn't break any US laws.
Human/realtor appraisals are often very poor. They will take 3-4 nearby & similar homes and basically add/subtract the differences from the home they are comparing. Then they basically just average the adjusted sale prices. They might add a bit onto that price since prices go up over time.

So this has some obvious issues:
* Areas without a ton of very similar houses that have also sold recently will basically have no 'comps' to use.
* It's really easy to keep identifying differences (pros/cons) until the adjusted prices equal each other but it's hard to know if all of the meaningful differences have actually been identified.
* It gives average homes and average buyers a huge advantage. This model assumes that the housing market is hot but not hot enough that someone will pay 10-15% more for some specific feature. Anything unique to a home/property is only going to be worth a fraction of the time & money it would cost to add. Anything super common (kitchen remodel, finished basement, etc.) can actually add 100% or more of it's cost to the houses value because the buyer is paying with 5x or more leverage so paying a bit extra to have it included. This is also why it's often better to fix a few things as the seller than give a discount on the sale price - the buyer will often pay a premium to get things move-in ready since it doesn't impact their monthly costs significantly.

I’ve named half a dozen episodes. Abi Martin, Tulsi Gabbard and Eric Weinstein are fake democrats he brought on to talk about how crazy the Democratic Party is. Jordan Peterson he brought on 4 times in 2017 alone to argue about the trans issue and “cultural Marxism” (he brought Ben Shapiro on to do the same.) I’m not doing this with you, you are arguing in bad faith because you know Joe has a right wing agenda. I don’t have to lie or copy what anyone else said because I listened to it first hand and for a time I (regretfully) actually fell for his “the democrats have gone crazy” routine. Joe Rogan painting Hilary Clinton as evil (he constantly brings up her paraphrasing Caesar at the death of Gadaffi) convinced me to vote for Johnson in the 2016 election. Like I said, I don’t know if he’s paid by a GOP/conservative organization but it’s awfully convenient for them that the largest podcast just happens to push an exact replica of their narrative.
I'll bite back on these 2 points, even though you're just paraphrasing Zuck.

1) I'm definitely willing to believe that most adults spend a lot of time vegging out, even if I/we don't. Does this mean that one goal of the metaverse is to suck cash out of those folks? "People already waste a lot of time. The metaverse is great because it makes money off of that." I could also interpret this one in a lighter way. Perhaps the metaverse is somehow better than regular vegging out; gives you exercise or something.

2) My take here is similar to some sibling comments. This just sounds like a VR application, and I'm not sure where the "metaverse" comes in. Unless by "metaverse" we mean "internet", which already exists and is (thankfully) not run by Facebook. And even then, I don't see where the internet comes in either! I can dev/create offline, can't I?
