That is a common trope, supposedly free running capitalism would just waste as much energy as possible without regulation.

It is of course nonsense, even without regulations industries have an incentive to save on energy, as it is a cost factor.

Or think about cars - people would prefer to buy cars that use less energy, so that they have a wider range. Therefore there already is an incentive for car manufacturers to develop more energy efficient cars.

Also people can decide they only want to buy products that adhere to certain production standards, even without centralized government.

Overall, nobody claims externalities should have no price.
It is definitely a thing, and I may or may not have signed one
That link's dead though.
Would love to see stats on what parts of society this is going to impact? In the UK, the govt would have had to produce stats on the impact on minority groups. Based on what is happening on other countries, this looks like an outright assault on the poor, disabled, and recent migrants. History tends to repeat...perhaps the unvaccinated should be forced to wear badges? To protect the vaccinated ofc.

I am in the UK, in a part of the UK that has a badly malfunctioning health service. Waiting time for ambulance two weeks ago was twenty minutes (and that was just travel time), no issues at ICU (not for me, it was a relative the ICU was precautionary), no issues getting a bed...strangely, the experience was much better than the pre-Covid...significantly so. Germany has the same vaccination rate, Germany has a better health service...it is strange. No-one places any value on their freedom because it is something that is freely given to everyone today, our ancestors shed blood for it but we didn't...is this worth it? It is a huge change in freedoms for something that is unlikely to change things (I am not sure how this kind of thing is legal, if it is legal for a govt to essentially quarantine citizens in their own home if they refuse to have a medical procedure...that is alarming).
Note how all of the variants which health authorities said just needed a reasonably high vaccine rate are now effectively eradicated. It is only the new 'delta' (and upcoming 'omicron') that remain, and these are known to have much lower vaccine efficacy.
And really hard to listen to people compare vaccine mandates to the holocaust.
California collects plenty of taxes.

It doesn’t need more. It’ll just blow it on more trains that don’t run or such.

100% tax rate would not be enough for many politicians.
By that notion, the fact that almost all home locks are easily pickable and glass windows breakable is also insane. There's tons of valuables behind almost all of these!

We found meaningful ways of disincentivizing theft, which turns out to be largely sufficient even in face of fallible security. The exact same applies to card data in the hands of merchants.
Good point. I do have OLED, and yet the scene in Invasion (on Apple TV) where they're up in the attic of a house and the aliens are downstairs, was completely unintelligible for me. It was all in darkness and there was just not enough contrast to make out anything.

Do you also apply this to a new Walmart, Amazon warehouse, fertilizer plant, Casino, steel mill, et. or is residential use the only inalienable use of property?
I almost skipped this thread because of the flamebait title. This is a debate over CPU instruction set performance details, nobody is going to die.
I think you have some great feedback here but for me it also highlights how subjective search results can be for individuals - for example, these false positives that you mention (b2, b3) appear as the top result on Google for me for that query.

It makes me think there must be some fairly large segment of the population that want that domain returned as a result for their query, no?
yea i agree with you, its a crappy thing to do, I'm not justifying it, just saying what their thought process is.
Union membership is down drastically over 50 years which is why it isn’t accomplishing much. If you do an image search for ‘union membership wealth inequality’ you’ll find a graph of union membership imposed with a graph of income going to the top 10%. It’s incredibly negatively correlated.
Ask HN: Do you use design patterns when building your organization?
I work as a project manager in civil engineering. During my spare time I program and try to learn a thing or two.

I started to read about design patterns and I wonder if anyone is using those principles when they build an organization/company.

If so, which patterns and why?
Makes sense. Nice analysis.

SpaceX goes even further and does deep cryo going beyond what anybody else does. This additionally makes the fuel even denser so you can carry more fuel in the same rocket. They are the only company that has ever done that. Its huge win, for Ox its 10%, for RP-1 its about 2%, for Methane 7%. Quite amazing.

Re-usability changes everything and going to Mars as a goal also changes the design.
Yes, you are correct. All of the Californians should sell their over valued houses and move to Oregon. There is no sales tax, and you don't have to pump your own gas. I hear that Bend is nice!
Mankind has a tendency to not accept what it cannot control. Our politicians and virologists often said something along the lines: "we need to do X to keep control of the situation".

In the end we never were in control of the situation but people cannot accept that.
> They provide recommended insn sequences for overflow checking as commentary to the ISA specification, and this enables efficient implementation in hardware.

I would like to see some benchmarks of this efficient implementation in hardware, even simulated hardware, compared against conventional architectures.

Even for C, it's a recurring source of bugs and vulnerabilities that int overflow goes undetected. What we really need is an overflow trap like the one in IEEE floating point. RISC-V went the opposite direction.
This sounds like the last thing I need :)
>It is clear now that the vaccines require 3 doses to be effective

Looks like you are really a optimist. I would say, 'It's clear now that the vaccines require one dose every 5-6 months to be effective against hard covid symptoms'.

Additionally I would not say 'Our governments failed pretty hard in this wave', instead I would say 'Our governments failed hard during the complete pandemic'.

> And now they try to fix this by dividing the country in two. This will have no effect whatsoever on the infections, it will just continue to drive a divide that is already existing and will make anti-vaxxers even more convinced that this is a big conspiracy.

You could say this about any law that enforces some uncomfortable behavior change. Anyone who remembers when seat belt laws became real, sees history repeating itself, down to the exact same arguments about effectiveness and rhetoric about choice and tyranny and government overreach.

COVID has been a challenge for the same reason Climate Change is challenging: They both require collective cooperative action from people, and you can't rely on everyone having a natural desire to do the right thing. Laws can't make people want to do the right thing--they can only provide incentives or disincentives for specific actions or behaviors.
I saw that you were downvoted for asking a legitimate question. Can you expand on what you mean?

Having done a lot of work in the past with Mesos and Docker and having done the deep dive on Earthly I just don't see the corollary between Mesos and this. Maybe there's more context you can provide :)
Requiring users to know what sites they want in advance somewhat defeats the purpose of a search engine, no?
Good point. Most of my movie consumption these days is via streaming services.

I am fortunate enough to have a home cinema room with a projector and some pretty beefy audio gear hooked up. But most of the time we watch in the lounge where it’s a more casual affair.

This design mimics a traditional advent calendar. I think it's kind of cute.

>the experience and the patience necessary to fix the system incrementally from within

Occasionally, this doesn't exist. Hence, for example, the American Civil War. You're making the mistake of assuming that software engineering design schema work for all real-world problems (or, rather, that that which would be foolish in approaching the redesign of software is necessarily also foolish in reforming other systems).

In fact, the "incremental change over time" approach is often the comfortable, irresponsible choice, in no small part because it allows bad actors the opportunity to adjust their approach to align with the new rules. This is especially true when the corrupt status quo threatens to collapse not only the system in question, but also many interrelated systems. The last thing you need when approaching a cliff is the car enthusiast in charge of the wheel and the child lock. Sometimes brakes aren't enough; you might need to just jump.
ARMv8 code density is quite good for a fixed-length ISA and is of course much better than that of RISC-V.

RISC-V has only one good feature for code density, the combined compare-and-branch instructions, but even this feature was designed poorly, because it does not have all the kinds of compare-and-branch that are needed, e.g. if you want safe code that checks for overflows, the number of required instructions and the code size explode. Only unsafe code, without run-time checks, can have an acceptable size in RISC-V.

ARMv8 has an adequate unused space in the branch opcode map, where combined compare-and-branch instructions could be added, and with a larger branch offset range than in RISC-V, in which case the code size advantage of ARMv8 vs. RISC-V would increase significantly.

While the combined compare-and-branch of RISC-V are good for code density, because branches are very frequent, the rest of the ISA is bad and the worst is the lack of indexed addressing, which frequently requires 2 RISC-V instructions instead of 1 ARM instruction.
What's the use case for these products?

Even if the radio is blocked, how does that stop a device from collecting data anyway, and exfiltrating it the moment it finds a network? Won't it look for a network the moment you take it out of the bag? And don't you have to remove it from the bag to use it practically?

Ultimately, if your device is compromised or untrustworthy to the extent that it has to be policed this way, is it not safer to just... get rid of it?

If you were trying to make it click by citing the micro evolution you were working with it is not all that surprising it didn't work, because in fact trying to use micro evolution to prove that macro evolution is possible is not a very good approach.

In programming terms, evolution is like tweaking a program a few lines at a time, with the requirement that the program has to still run and be useful after each tweak. You can evolve a C program this way to get a faster, or smaller, or more memory efficient, or more featured C program, but you are not going to be able to evolve a C program into an APL or Haskel or LISP program that way.

That macro evolution is possible is quite amazing and astounding when you stop and really think about the constraints. It is not at all obvious that micro evolution implies the possibility of macro evolution.

It's really something that is best approached from the opposite direction. We see evidence of macro evolution, and then use micro evolution as part of the explanation of how this is happening.
Happy you feel that way ;)

> We've got to repress those urges of curiosity to appease glorious science

No, it's to appease our desire to live in a society that aligns with our morality. If you'd read the religious books for what they are and respect them for their interpretation of what it means to be a kind and loving human being, instead of using them as tools to manipulate the minds of the unwashed masses into behaving as a cohesive unit, then maybe you'd understand.
We are using shadow-cljs https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs and that integrates with npm just fine. It doesn't get much easier than that I guess and if you have trouble, you can contact Thomas Heller or other people on the Clojurians Slack-channel.

If I did any app or system, that could be written in Java or JavaScript (browser or Node.js) I would take Clojure or ClojureScript any day. I don't know how to match the comfort and power in a different language. If it turned out e.g. by using a profiler, I just need way better performance in some bottlenecks and after I have exhausted all options that a) a better algorithm b) better technology/ different approach such as Canvas/ WebGL you name it in addition to what Clojure(Script) performance features offer, I would perhaps consider learning to write a module in Rust/ WebAssembly or just use a bit more resources (if this was e.g. a money problem).

Besides embedded, really high-performance stuff, some parts of the infrastructure that need to be as efficient as possible or run without GC or need to talk to very special interfaces or a library, Clojure and ClojureScript or related dialects/ implementations are suited for pretty much everything else I can think of.

We should be thinking about how to implement a Clojure-like language in more places, perhaps even without a GC but with AOT compilation + interpreter for the REPL along the way of Babashka. We should explore how to have a REPL to multiple systems at once and handle them like it was a single machine to some degree. We should be thinking, how to make a running Clojure program interruptible easily (perhaps with an extra setting), like it was a program in the shell. We should think about adding a Clojure-like language to the browser natively so that programs don't have to load it like they do now and that a browser tab could have some kind of REPL that you could authenticate and connect to over a socket. That way, you could rewrite the code of the web app at runtime if allowed by the user.
And we definitely should design more APIs in much simpler way working more with data and less with invoking some specific functions. E.g. browser "history" could just be a vector/ array of maps/ objects or whatever instead of some finicky getters and setters that obscure the problem and are just another thing you have to learn to do useful work.
The same is said in the Netherlands, but if you double the number of available IC beds, with associated staff (good luck with that), all you've bought yourself is two weeks before those are full as well – because of exponential growth.

"open everything up despite it being relatively clear it was way too early"

It probably wasn't. There have been 2 major studies on the effects of covid-lockdown measures, they show a small increase in total mortality. So we should have done as the Swedes and kept everything open from beginning to end.
If you're interested in simple cages similar in effectiveness to the EDEC Window Pouch (they drop off above 3GHz)... try a Microwave Oven. They are highly available, reasonably convenient and well designed, with pretty good quality control. You can even still see your phone inside has zero bars. I do, however, recommend unplugging the microwave (or even cutting the power cord) as a fire would likely result from cooking your hardware.

To answer [2] How big are the waves you're trying to block? - it's actually crack length not width that usually determines the effective re-radiating antenna length. They can be very narrow, but a long (a few cm) crack will allow one polarization through almost completely.

I've run this test with a GSM base station and confirmed the effectiveness. If you want to test communication with a device to a base station, but have many other local antennas interfering and want to fit many devices inside... it's a decent choice. The alternatives are less convenient and usually thousands of dollars to construct.
If your goal is exclusively to prevent transmission in itself vaccines aren't always they best way to do it. Isolation or biohazard suits are the way to go there.

If you require society to still keep working and for people to not die vaccines generally do a pretty good job of that.

If your goal is to prevent mutation of dangerous new variants vaccines are wildly effective.

I'd say just having the last 2 is pretty good.
Whoa!

We are a small company in the midwest that would love to start a pick and place line! We were even thinking of giving access to other small companies in our area.
I didn't say you should run society like that. I only provided an example to prove that centralized control is not necessary to enforce rules.

Typically people form groups that enforce certain rules. You can have bigger and smaller groups. Some big countries are very centralized, others less so - I think federalization in the US serves to counteract centralization? Ideally people have some degree of freedom to switch to groups whose rules align with their own preferences.

It is not an all or nothing, there can be degrees of centralization and decentralization.

Of course we can not escape the laws of nature in the end.
Oh, no, it's now kinda useless for that too unless you somewhat go out of your way. They've signed contracts with recording companies and "legalized" most of the music several years ago, killing off the public API (audio.* methods), adding ads (which I've never heard thanks to my ad blocker, but still) and imposing ever more nonsensical client-side restrictions in mobile apps (which I use an old version of) that are removed by buying a subscription.

But — despite Mail.Ru Group doing its best to ruin it, it's still way better than Facebook. There's a chronological feed even! And they aren't brave enough to ruin that.

Full disclosure: I worked at VK on the official Android app for 5 years, most of that as the only Android developer in the entire company. I quit in 2016 because of growing disagreement with the management about our goals. VK still has a lot of sentimental value for me because it literally changed my life, multiple times over.

Anyway, if you do want the experience of the OG VK but without FSB and all the other perils that come with centralization, you can follow the development of my ActivityPub project: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
Vaccines reduce severe courses of the disease by about 90%. The number vary depending on what you look at exactly, and for elderly people boosters are really mandatory to keep the vaccine effective.

Reducing the number of severe cases by a factor of 10 is very from from not working.

Overtrading is the worst way possible to trade, but it's what feels intuitive and 'playing the game' to most. I got suckered into it at the beginning, and thankfully didn't lose that much before I calmed down.

Finding stocks with solid fundamentals, and buying and holding based on common sense is the strongest strategy. For example you see that Microsoft's ARM operating system is getting bad reviews, buy Apple.

Also, the whole market is rigged in big finance's favour. They can borrow shares from thin air, and pump and dump whilst getting the smallest of fines.

Ignore financial news. It's all owned by the same big companies, and is weaponised.

If you try to day trade, you are just going to be outperformed by the algos and the hedgies, who can trade smarter and faster with information you don't have.

Say what you want about the Gamestop apes, but many have been holding for a whole year.

It's possible to craft laws that don't explicitly fail to bind one group, but do in practice. Other times, it's more explicit.

A recent example of the former would be some of the voting security laws that have been popular lately. A recent example of the latter would be disparities in crack vs. cocaine sentencing (I think this is no longer the case? God, I hope not. But was not that long ago) and that's just the de jure part—in all cases, the de facto enforcement is what matters.

Historical examples abound, obviously.

[EDIT] another example is mentioned by someone else in this thread, as abortion laws, but it's worth noting why those are an example: the rich never have trouble obtaining abortions, and there's a history of pro-life advocates doing so when they "need" to, for themselves or for family members (I'm sure their case is different, of course eyeroll). In fact a major factor in the Republican legislature of New York passing early abortion rights laws was precisely this disparity, which was that anti-abortion laws in effect only existed for the poor.

As you've suggested the dissonance between democrats largely polling in favor of the measure but city council democrats rejecting could be because the city council members have conflicting personal interests or are being influenced/lobbied by a minority who oppose the law.

So perhaps the distinction of democrat is too broad and unhelpful in this situation and it should be broken down into finer demographics. 26% of Americans identify as democrat and there is bound to be a lot of diversity of opinion within such a large body of people.
Really? I've never had a Mac, but I have all the other gadgets and I love them. Would it interrupt a running process to restart itself?
