Emergency calls working as expected is a live and death issue and I don't think you'd be so blasé about this if it had been you vainly trying to call 911 and someone you loved died because of this bug.

I assume you see this through the lens of "bugs happen, as long as developers make a sincere effort that's fine" under which most software development takes place. But this is absolutely the wrong way to look at this, and I bet you wouldn't apply this framework to physical engineering artifacts which are subject to legislation ensuring safety standards like bridges, cars or heaters.

Odd connection perhaps, but this book stuck with me about its framing of group changes. Though it only looks at terrorist organisations.

Essentially how the groups changes its positioning, beliefs and modus in the world over a longer time horizon.
Seems to be heavily facilitated by attrition and shedding effects, which changes the units of decision making, the people, to have different personality and character profiles over time.

So how group in time X looks at a situation vs how group in time Y looks at a new situation. Excluding the immediate information on what is happening per each situation. An additional big variable to take into account is how external and internal effects have effected attrition, shedding, and new joiners between those two time periods.

I am curious, in general what exactly does a giant like amazon invest in, over themselves?
Everyone seems to be blaming either Microsoft or Google in this thread, but I disagree.

I think _both_ are culpable. Microsoft teams shouldn't crash when making a 911 call. Google shouldn't hand 911 calls off to microsoft teams (though I'm not 100% clear on what the interaction should be if you have a custom phone app... maybe it should be able to handle the 911 calls? what if you install a custom phone app because the default one is broken... you'd definitely want your non-broken preference to be respected for important calls like 911).

Either way, I still think they're both culpable.
Sorry to disappoint you, but F1 electric engines which are used for F1 engine testing are miles ahead of any e-motor you'll see in any car for the next 20 years. Cutting edge PMM technology is not affordable, way too powerful, way too powerhungry, and way too fragile for any consumer car.

We (former F1 engine test engineer) were pushing the electric engine envelope way too far, latest Tesla's do look like VW Beetles to us. You simply cannot have tires and chassis control to keep such cars on the street. Nor heat control, you'd need special cooling systems.

But even with the simplest F1 tech: Consumer cars still don't have normal racing gear shifters nor CVS transmission nor 10Khz ECU's. They are fine with 500Hz. I cannot foresee any F1 PMM's nor other F1 tech in cars.
I had no idea the YouTube DMCA system was so skewed towards the entity claiming. This highlights at least two issues:

* Someone can claim copyright, and it goes into effect immediately, but a fraudulent claim is only forfeited after a 30-60 day grace period.
* Some can perform multiple claims at once, but you can only appeal claims one at a time.
Then the "get it by" date will reflect that and if people want to pay for your one/two-day shipping they can.

Shipping is also free on prime items if you are a prime member so the same general idea applies, Amazon is doing what's right for their customers here, the prime badge takes its value from their fulfillment service that is still stellar compared to everything else.
This is what I am reading also. Couple that with another similar and recent bug discussed in the reddit thread this links to (https://www.androidpolice.com/notifications-feeling-sluggish...) and I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a whole host of unnoticed side effects in peoples Android devices.

These are failures on the Android level, apps users can download from the store shouldn't have the capability to break things like calling emergency services, or notifications for other apps.
>China - alleged communists - have outperformed the EU at creating a viable software industry.

If anything, this could be because of the communist aspect. Companies of a certain size become entwined with the government in China. Funding isn't really a concern when the state backs you up. Similarly, but without state support, the US has Silicon Valley investors who'll always throw cash at companies with the right connections and sometimes random people with decent business ideas.

Does the EU have anything similar to grow companies?

This isn't at all different to what happens today when a restaurant has its rent jacked up and it has to move.

The only difference is that instead of an individual landlord getting disgustingly rich out of dispossessing restaurants, the whole community gets a pile of cash.

The rich will be much more upset that they are exposed to the same market forces that the rest of us are than they will benefit from being able to dispossess others by offering to pay higher taxes.

The rich also wouldn't be nearly as rich if land stopped being an asset that could be capitalized. LVT would slash wealth inequality precisely because land is such a large component of wealth.

I prefer more ECC than less, but as a friend of mine noted, most of the data are JPEGs (or video for that matter) and bit flips there usually go unnoticed because they simply adjust the pixel color slightly.

Companies seem to push the boundaries of the law deliberately.

Are these types of fines taken straight out of any "profits" by the accountants so I'm not sure if they don't just effectively "expense" the cost of fines and consequently only pay 60-80% of them?

It does seem high but then it depends on if they are consistently breaking the law. I'm sure these bodies came to a conclusion based on some sort of evidence to show damage to other businesses. How would you deter companies in a different way from breaking the law?

No. Redux is an antipattern. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing tool for managing complex, changing global state.

Lots of people here are missing the point. I read things like "it's a bit fine compared to the business in Italy etc etc"

We don't know much about the reason, but for sure this fine is not for a point in time issue, it's measure are taking considering a large timespan (usually 4/5 years) and similar fines have been give to other companies considering the same factor (mostly for tax evasion)

So, if Amazon was wrongdoing for 5 years, the $1.3B fine is accounting that timespan which means around 250 million dollar per year.

Ooh, TIL, thanks. :)
I recently had an interesting experience with bad non-ECC RAM. The only effect I saw for many months was a frequently crashing web browser. I was very annoyed and downgraded to the firefox LTS release to try to solve the issue. The problem went away for a while, then came back. Seemingly erratic the problem could resurface only to disappear a while later.

Eventually I got a corruption in a large Git repository with photos. First I suspected a disk error but reruns of "git fsck" reported different bad objects, run to run. How odd, so I ran memtest86 and it reported a bad 32 MB memory region at offset 4 GB. Never saw any kernel issues or other instability. Booting up the computer does not use up 4 GB of memory (Linux) but starting a bloated web browser does.

The computer is stable after mapping away the bad memory region by using GRUB_BADRAM. That was an new takeaway for me, a machine with ECC memory can do this bad blocks mapping automatically. It's not just beneficial in correcting single bit errors.

I would love to have ECC memory in my machine. I used it for my previous build in 2012 but I think the situation has gotten worse since then. Bigger price difference and ECC memory is not even available at the same clocks as non-ECC memory.
> If they don't have access to the accompanying source code, it is an inferior product.

I agree with the overarching preference for GPL over MIT, but this point is one of the most insular HN-bubble comments I've seen since the Dropbox comment. Most users – hell, most developers – do not give a toss about having the source code for software that's shipped with MacOS. I have never spoken to anyone who's wanted or needed the source code for Bash or Zsh.
Oh, I thought that the comment about not looking as idiomatic code was referring to the kernel::new_device_... sample in a parent/parent HN comment. I was more interested in knowing what was so unidiomatic about that.

> There doesn't seem to be a +11~, but is it forbidden?

Well, kinda... The thing is, even if not required by standard (It is, there's a Numbering Plan for the US and Can), most 9-to-dial-out systems would fail to call such a number, redirecting 911-anything to immediately dial out 911 once the second 1 is dialed.

IIRC, I've seen POTS also skip the inter-digit tone wait (the time between your last dial and the system going "okay, that's all the numbers, let's call!") when calling x11 numbers, generally considering "911" and other emergency/service numbers to be a magic triple that doesn't wait for other numbers to dial out.

There are no area codes starting with 1 in the US nor Canada to my knowledge since any dialing in a system with 9-to-call-out should end up being dialed as follows :

* 9 (leave system)

* 1 (country code)

* 1 (first digit of the area code)

And there is no step 4, because 911 is a special number like 411 and 311, that has a special dial plan. Since there is a possibility of issues if we make the treatment any less dumb, we don't do that. 999 is a special, unassigned code in the US too. 112 is likewise impossible to clash with here in NA since calling that with a corp system just means typing 9112, which ends up being 911, and dialing it on its own can also be allowed to be a special case since there are no area codes with 1 because of 911.

In fact, even "small area codes" or, officially, "office codes" are also required to not be X11. You used to be able to call locally in your area code without dialing the area code, too. It ends up being that xxx-911-xxxx is also an invalid number. Because locally, you would have had to type "911" to start dialing that number. There are also other limitations that can be seen here as well as allocation for future expansion :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan#... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan_...

There's also probably a physical, legacy reason it's probably much more difficult to make a physical 911 switch when "911" is also a valid part of a phone number. It means you need to figure out "Is it what they meant, or are there more numbers coming?" It means the sequence of operations "<open line><9><1><1>" always means emergency, fast connect, and probably easier to implement as a side-channel than as a part of the dial logic? This is speculation, I haven't actually opened a POTS PBX with a physical implementation of the 911 dialing logic.

>For example, imagine there was a run-down house that is livable, but is one of the most undesirable in SF. Adjacent to it, let's say there's a shiny desirable house with the same land characteristics. If I understand correctly, these 2 apartments would have the same land value tax right?

>What kind of effect will this have on the rental price of the bad house? What will dictate the floor of it?

The bad house would have the same rent it would without LVT. The only difference is that the landlord would be making a loss if the house is too shitty or too low density.

The landlord is then faced with 4 choices - 1) make eye watering losses by not renting it out. 2) continue to make losses renting it out, 3) sell up to somebody who will redevelop, 4) redevelop themselves.

LVT should put upward pressure on the quality of housing (and density in big cities) because landlords will eat losses if they don't.

You'd probably need separate rules for historic buildings (e.g. an LVT discount) since it will become an amplified driver to knock them down and replace them with high rises without some impediment from doing so.
