In general, as an individual entrepreneur/'business owner'/selbstandiger in germany, and also in the US, its neigh impossible in Germany to perform your own accounting/tax filings; and the idea of an LLC is very difficult to obtain (see how companies like Starbucks structure their limited liability with an 'AG & Co. KG')

Combine this with the lack of 'safety net' for someone who owns the business (you dont qualify the same as if you were a regular non participatory employee) and the lack of angel funding/froth in general... its not as simple as you may imagine, especially for non citizens.

Its possible, but its not as simple :)

Your central thesis is that more automation = bad, at least in the short term, and should therefore be halted. I've got a problem with that.

- Why is the amount of automation we have good, and more is bad? That's an "I've got mine" approach. You're essentially saying that you're happy with your gadgets (dishwasher et al) and with the current price level and variety of consumer goods and no further improvement is needed.

- Who decides where the line between enough and too much is? A rich Westerner? Or an African without lights, running water, or a washing machine, who works by manually recycling garbage?

- How did we deal with the massive changes automation has already made to society? We're vastly better off now, why shouldn't we continue?
> In a multithreaded program, a bump allocator requires locks. That kills their performance advantage.

Wait, what?

What's wrong with:

char theHeap[0x1000000];
atomic_ulong bumpPtr;

void* bump_malloc(int size){
uint32_t returnCandidate = bumpPtr.fetch_add(size, std::memory_order_relaxed);
if(returnCandidate + size >= HEAP_SIZE){
// Garbage collect. Super complicated, lets ignore it lol.
// Once garbage collect is done, try to malloc again. If fail then panic().
}
return &theHeap[returnCandidate];
}

------

You don't even need acq_release consistency here, as far as I can tell. Even purely relaxed memory ordering seems to work, which means you definitely don't need locks or even memory barriers.

The exception is maybe the garbage-collect routine. Locking for garbage collect is probably reasonable (other programmers accept that garbage-collection is heavy and may incur a large running + synchronization costs), but keeping locks outside of the "hot path" is the goal.

------

This is what I do with my GPU test programs, where locking is a very, very bad idea (but possible to do). Even atomics are kinda-bad in the GPU world but relaxed-atomics are quite fast.

> In Java, this requires 15 000 separate allocations, each producing a separate reference that must be managed.

Wait, what?

points [] array = new points[15000];

This is a singular alloc in Java. 15000 _constructors_ will be called IIRC (My Java is rusty though, someone double-check me on that), but that's not the same as 15000 allocs being called, not by a long shot.

Frankly, it seems like this poster is reasonably good at understanding Go performance, but doesn't seem to know much about Java performance or implementations.

if you invent the pathogen along with its vaccine, you can vaccinate yourself and the group you care about, while killing off the undesirables. you could also make genocidal weapons by designing a virus that recognizes a certain genetic sequence and inserts itself only there (or the converse, use that as a safety by inserting a gene for an inhibitory protein.)

I guess I am getting cynical. What is the context in which trigger Apple to sue them now, and not any time before?

And what if NSO Group closed the branch in US? I assume you cant really do anything to an Israeli company.

Because half of it reads a lot like a PR pieces to me. And Apple easily gets the marketing message response they wanted. They are fighting "State Sponsored" spyware. The privacy message they are sending out ( fighting on behalf of their user ), in the mist of a worldwide App Store battle and Anti-Trust.

And I am willing to bet this message will be used in their future PR message when they discuss it in Anti-Trust to gain public support.
> I still think the whole divide over Brexit was less about the principle of it, but more about whether you are more aligned with the current EU political leanings or with those of the current UK ones (reflected in its Tory leadership).

Not necessarily. As a socialist, I really don’t align with the “current EU political leanings”. I also realise that the EU is still useful for several things, and that leaving it would be at best counter-productive.

Replace “the EU” with your country. You can be in disagreement with your current government without wanting to secede. That’s the same with the EU, really: for all its warts and idiosyncrasies, we are better united than divided.

Mastery learning doesn't have to be harder than regular teaching. It just requires the teacher to split the class after each quiz and spend some time teaching remedial content to the under-performing group.

I think your point is that teachers don't like teaching unmotivated students so they ignore mastery learning programs.

Many Charter schools are specifically set up to teach under-performers. Why do those schools ignore mastery learning?

That is a pretty big condition. Most of the people who buy crypto wants to buy from some trustworthy site, and if that is stopped there will be effectively zero new crypto being brought inside the country. Also no one knows how much hassle will it be to convert it into money in bank, this is likely to stop almost all trades.

>Dollar stores very often aren’t cheaper than other sources for similar products especially for grocery items (which they tend to have very limited selections of.)

Some products are. Especially the unhealthy-- candy and soda is cheaper. I used to get bread there, they'd have the same bread as nicer stores just closer to the 'best by' date. But it tasted fine to me. I would get dishes and cups, silverware, and socks. Are ended up being cheaper than even Walmart. It can be cost effective even if you have other options
I would say belief systems versus being specific to either or. Being specific, If the number of deaths from covid or the fact that that vaccines have been proven effective for over 100 years aren't enough to sway an individual to get vaccinated I don't think anything will especially a comment on hatebook.
I think they're expensive exactly for that reason - people have to factor in the risk that someone would be totally legally justified to come and take all their stuff tomorrow. Those are also actual products with a true value to people - not a currency

To be fair, early Java definitely had lots of issues with GC and "hanging" programs due to GC activity. It's a failure of the article to bring it up if modern Java implementation are better on that point. As an example of bad reputation, I think the latest Eclipse IDE on the latest Java SDK is still sucky and because of my ignorance I blame it on Java.

I was disappointed with the first Go gRPC implementation, it allocated like crazy and was really slow because of it. It's been rewritten since then but I don't know how much better it is now. To get good performance out of Go it is important to think about memory allocations (unfortunately), just as it is in C and C++. Although allocating like crazy in C/C++ will probably mostly result in a general loss of performance, not affect tail latencies in network protocols much.

All of the magazines mentioned had massive circulations and were available at every 7-11 in the country.

A more interesting phenomenon is where media consumed by a tiny group of well-educated wealthy elites is considered universal or common. There's no way the New Yorker had a bigger circulation than Hustler in the 80s.

edit: according to wikipedia, Hustler's peak circulation in the 80s was 3 million copies a month.

I know tons of people who have been convinced by talking, and have been very active in matching up experts I personally know to people who have questions. This is a tractable problem in the majority of cases, it just requires empathy and patience.

Most of what it does is affect the probability of your spreading it to others, and it doesn't reduce that down to zero.

So it's unrealistic to expect masking to prevent your spreading it to close friends/family whom you're in frequent contact with.

But it lowers how much you're emitting past the mask while standing in line at the grocery store.

Your take on this seems incredibly self-centered.

Owning a token means you can perform certain actions on a distributed system. No social contract needed. You own the token by owning a secret key which gives you the power to move it.

It's like owning a key to a door. It gives you the power to lock and unlock the door. No social contract needed.

You can not own a domain. You can only pay a registrar to have them talk to a registry. You then are at the mercy of both. Use the HN search tool to read an endless amount of horror stories of people who lost domains and sometimes decades of work because of this.

People are pretty arrogant around here, but we're reaching the next phase of crypto: Government Competition. The current crypto ecosystem is probably allowed so the tech can flesh out organically, then the best bits and bobbles will be plucked for inclusion in official government-approved currency. What State wants to be the guinia pig for any of this stuff - your whole country could collapse. Let people figure it out and give them all the risk, the State can take over later.

Other coins will be considered exclusive pathways for money laundering and will be nerfed like bearer-bonds or precious metals are in the US.

There's no actual resource - violent or material - that backs any crypto. The only backing is it's novelty. Once the novelty is copied by the State, it will be rubbed out IMHO.

I was (pleasantly!) surprised that nobody from ISIS traveled to Africa during the Ebola epidemic to infect themself, then flew back to NYC to hang out in Times Square. Doesn't require much brains, just the willingness to commit suicide and the motivation to kill a bunch of people, both of which ISIS had in spades.

My experience with fx has been very mixed and I don't think it's a safe default recommendation. It can often outperform fnv and wyhash because it does so little, but it can also greatly underperform once it's used in a hash table because it can cause a lot of conflicts for some types of keys, especially after modulo.

This can be much slower than just having a slightly slower hash function, because the equality function will be called against many more candidates, potentially with each requiring one or more uncached fetches from main memory.

I now recommend wyhash more often than not, and sometimes fnv can beat that. wyhash has the substantial advantage that it can also be made attack-resistant with a seed given to the builder, with much less overhead than sip.

My most recent problematic use cases for fx were all to do with hashing just one or two scalar integers per key. Its few per-word instructions weren't nearly enough to get a good distribution when there were only 1-2 words (on a usize=u64 target). Even hacking in fmix64 from Murmur3 helped a ton, but made it no faster than wyhash in the end, and harder to reason about. I ended up using wyhash for some keys and fnv for others.

In any case, nobody should switch hash functions without evaluating performance on full-sized realistic production data. You can easily end up with bad overall hash table performance because of poor distribution with your real keys.

Microbenchmarks tend to miss this, especially if they do not create real-sized and real-shaped key sets. Then all you see is the hash function performance, which is misleading if it results in poor overall table performance, which is what happened to me with fx in particular. I think a lot of people choose fx based on such microbenchmarks and assume its distribution is good enough to scale out, but this should not be assumed, only tested.

You might also see surprising effects from cache locality when testing tables big enough that they don't fit in cache, and if this matters for your workload then you definitely want to account for that in your choice of hash table data structure.
What this also doesn't mention is shrinkflation and quality reduction, so for many items you're probably paying closer to $1.50 - $1.75.
Yeah I'm not certain where we disagree. I mainly reject the assertion that I may have misread, that workers should deliver additional value beyond what they are currently delivering in order to earn a raise. The currency has less value then last year and this is reflected in wages in aggregate. If you want to retain people, you'll need to keep up otherwise you should anticipate high turnover.

> afford

Afford is an elusive concept. Dollar stores are often more expensive per-unit, but cheaper per-package. If the shoppers had better access to financing, some might choose to take a longer trip to, say, Costco, and buy things at a cheaper per-unit price in a more expensive package.
Many years ago they went to 1.75 qt across the board. I was mad, but what could I do?

Then they dropped it again to 1.5 qt (3 pints), except for Tillamook. So I bought Tillamook and was happy they were the benevolent company that took a stand against shrinkfla... shit Tillamook is now 1.5 qt as well.

I'm mad again. At least they still use actual ice cream ingredients. I won't punish them for succumbing to the shrink ray. They held out longer than others.
Google "native token of the bitcoin network".
This hasnt been a problem forvseveral years. There are different options:

- buy international prepaid cards for legal dervices (bitrefill)

- use p2p local crypto exchanges: localcrypto, localmonero (in some countries this can be 100% anonymous by using the "withdraw from atm with 1 time code" bank services)

- Exchange to alternate "tokens" that are legal (anyone remembers Linden dollars to BTC market around 2010?)

- Exchange locally via sneakernet.
I am vehemently pro-vaxx, but I'm against making it law, as that is an attack on bodily autonomy.

I'm fine with jobs requiring vaccination, and I'm fine with government jobs and public schools requiring vaccination, and even businesses (especially ones involving crowds of people, like conference/convention halls and cruise ships) requiring vaccination. It's basically saying, "You don't want to get vaccinated? Fine, then you don't get to participate in our society."

But a law introducing criminal penalties for being unvaxxed? No way.
> How one can misspell "entertainment" as "culture"?

In the western society "entertainment" is "culture". It is very hard to find real culture. In some countries bookstores are full with thrash. On radio and tv you get the same selection of mediocre till thrash offers. It is like free speach. You are "free" to speak but your voice is lost in 1000000 more voices. And if you finally are able to be heard, police comes at your door.
I'll trust a press release from The Muppets before I take a recommendation from the IMF seriously.
Probably because those rates are from 10 to 60 years, which is quite a broad range. People in their fifties/sixties die like A LOT more than young people and these ages happen to be the most vaccinated compared to the youngest ones. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paradox-simpson/

Also, when we are seeing far fewer vaccinated people in hospital in most countries (in my country 70% of the admissions in the hospital are from unvaccinated people), it is not only that the number of vaccinated people in hospital is much lower, you have to keep in mind that the number of vaccinated people is much higher (in my country +80%, almost 90%, are vaccinated) so the effect of the vaccine in death rate is even much higher (before measuring the effect of vaccines we even thought that vaccinated people would be the most prevalent in hospital because the number is vastly superior)

> very vulnerable to crosswinds

So was the VW bus. I know from experience. It's a very dangerous car on the highway when you've got a stiff crosswind. You have to cant the steering wheel into the wind. If you drive through a cut, the car will veer into the wind, and leaving the cut, it'll will veer the other way. If you're not anticipating this, you can find yourself in the other lane facing oncoming traffic.

I don't miss that beast.
These are the first paragraphs of the email I got:

> On December 13th 2021, the Firefox browser will be officially "resorbing" Firefox Lockwise. Don't worry, all your saved Lockwise passwords will still be available through the Firefox browser using a Firefox account.

> The Firefox Lockwise app will no longer be updated and supported by Mozilla and will not be available in the Apple App and Google Play Stores. After that date, current Lockwise users can continue to access their saved passwords and their password management in the Firefox desktop and mobile browsers.

It seems pretty clear-cut to me.

How are you supposed to trust the person who you are buying goods from will deliver once they receive the payment. As they will anyways be illegaly selling the goods for crypto there will be even more mistrust. If you do payment after delivery then the other side needs to be trusted.
