I see that the article lists a number of metrics, none of which is topped by US. Got it. But the greatness should be holistic measure of all the metrics.

So the question is: Is there any other country that overall ranks better than US. If not, then US remains greatest. Isn’t it?

Sure, but I can't get over how it's picking the next word literally at random from a probability distribution - unless you turn that off and then it often goes into an infinite loop.

I think in Enron and Theranos cases, there were specific actual crimes happening. Like lying in the published information that's influencing the stock market. Or falsifying you financial records. Things specifically forbidden and labeled as criminal.

Not a thing that is so non-specific (in it's criminality) that you have to label it wire-fraud or mail-fraud (whatever that is) to even have a chance at making it look like actual crime, not just immoral thing he did that could harm his employer (but it's hard to tell to what extent it actually did).

Do you try to straw man me into position "all white collar crimes shouldn't be crimes"?
It's important to honor the GPL here because these are the terms that the code was licensed to TikTok under. By violating the terms of the license, TikTok forfeits their right to use the code.

This is intended to protect the freedoms of the whole world, more or less. The GPL is intended to make software free and open for everyone, regardless of what their purpose of using the software for is. Free, Libre, Open Source Software is very valuable at this point, and the GPL generally mandates that you contribute back to the pool of FLOSS if you seek to benefit from it, making FLOSS even more valuable for everyone.

There is nothing forcing a company like TikTok to use GPL'd code in their software. Lord knows they have enough money to engineer a similar solution from the ground up, but they chose to use GPL'd code so they need to play by GPL rules.

If you tell someone that they are obliged to do something as per the law, the meaning is obvious that not doing so is a violation of the law, which is an adverse consequence (the consequence being breaking the law and whatever penalties come with that).

One of the issues with less-than-lethal weapons, is that the threshold for using force is much lower (at least in the mind of the wielder). Arm an authority with rubber hoses and you'll read stories of said authority whacking everyone as they walk down the street.

It depends on whether you view evil as something absolute or relative.

If evil is absolute, then an animal (or an entire species) can be seen as evil by nature. Another species may be seen as good or neutral by nature even if the animal itself has no sense of right or wrong.

It is indeed very philosophical and also up to your beliefs and values.
Yes. I've tried them side-by-side (and a whole bunch of others) and the Sony came out as way better than the rest, which given my one-man boycott of Sony products after the rootkit debacle is a bit of a letdown. So I hope the boycott gods won't notice my lack of fortitude.

Of course we can; the point of having such huge brains is that we can override our animal instincts if we want to. Same reason you can convince yourself to jump off a cliff into water even if you're scared of heights. Or how you can convince yourself to skip meals to get your work done. Or to not physically fight someone when you're in a disagreement. Or to not cheat when in a relationship.

Not being slaves to our animals instincts is kind of what makes humans human.
The problem with staircases being used for seating is that this robs them of their ability to function as passages.

I'd certainly like it if I could pay YouTube TV $15 to get just the sports channels. I only subscribe a few months a year, for college football season. I don't like to watch anything else. So I'm spending $65/mo to watch 3-4 games, which is a little embarrassing to post.

I do think I'd rather pay YouTube than ESPN directly, because the latter's video services have never worked well for me. Part of me wishes the various services would just tell Disney to get lost, and let them see how much they like providing that service on their own. Though, the conventional wisdom seems to be that live sports programming can't exist on it's own, and that 'regular TV' can't exist without live sports.

The article glosses over the fact if Jones was a threat to the police or not. Using tasers/stun guns to "just" subdue people has to stop. These are less-but-still-lethal weapons which should only be used in cases where a gun would be also appropriate.

Looking at one stat:
“ But the percentage of people living in poverty puts America at number 127 out of 172.”

However:

“ Definitions of poverty vary considerably among nations. For example, rich nations generally employ more generous standards of poverty than poor nations.”

So I wonder how meaningful a lot of the comparisons are.
Who are Wolfram’s customers? I recall back in 1993 a girl I knew did an internship at Black and Veatch and she enjoyed it, but is B&V really the target market? If so, I don’t see how “math” is the major draw.
You've already identified some of your competitors, you should go in to more detail and try to answer:

* What features are common among my competitors?

* What features are unique?

* Who are target customers and users? Is there any overlap, or do some competitors target unique market segments?

This last question ties in to a discussion I was having with a friend recently. In B2B sales, your customers are businesses, but your users are people in those businesses with certain roles and responsibilities. Understanding the difference is key, because you will often need to develop your sales and marketing strategies based on the business/customer profile, but your UX will depend on the needs of the users within those businesses.

In my opinion you are more likely to be successful if you can get an initial foothold in a market by identifying a specific target of customers and users, solving their use case very well, developing a moat, and then growing out from that foothold to provide a wider set of options. Web scraping is just a tool. You need to find businesses who can gain value from scraping or from scraped data. Are there businesses who, for whatever reason, would not be able to adopt one of your competitors' products, or would find that adoption difficult? Maybe you could specialise in scraping a particular kind of data, or providing a full-stack solution for companies with limited in-house technical expertise (like some kind of consulting, you hop on a call with the client, they tell you what they want to scrape, and you set up a hosted solution which provides a SQL or Excel interface to the data).

In short, successful product development is all about understanding customer and user pain and needs. If you can find pains or needs which are a common theme for a particular demographic of companies and roles, you can work with those people to understand their problems and make a product which is very valuable to them.

If you say "I am a researcher studying X, can you please answer the following questions" then you might be studying a "what", depending on the specific questions.

When you lie about who you are, what your purposes are, and use scary legal language in an attempt to elicit a response, that is absolutely human research. You may be able do those things ethically as scientist but you absolutely need IRB review becausr it is definitely human research.

My guess is that the IRB in this case was not informed of the deceptive nature of some of the emails as lieing is absolutely a red flag that you are doing human research and not just information gathering. Indeed, evaluating such lies for potential harm is an important part of why we have IRBs for psychological and sociological research.

Yeah, so I usually consider Mathematica as a fast prototyping tool. It offers some optimization tools(i.e. packed array, compile), but I find myself rewriting a significant portion of the program while trying to apply them. They work, but often not worth the effort.

Still, it offers a very good set of features, and it's cleaner than some popular python libraries.
This is all spot on as far as I can see.

I don’t think that’s quite correct. you need to publish the software before this kicks in. If you fork a web framework and build a website with it for example you don’t have to GPL the website. If you sell or make the fork available then it does, is my understanding.
Let me plug my hobby project: https://linklonk.com - it is a collaborative RSS reader and I did a Show HN recently for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29445764

I think it may strike the balance you are looking for between: 1. following popular content, 2. subscribing to individual sources and 3. getting personalized algorithmic recommendations.

From the Show HN post:

"LinkLonk is a novel mechanism to subscribe to RSS feeds and discover content - upvote or submit a link to anything you liked and you will get connected to RSS feeds that posted this content. The more content you upvote from the same feed - the higher other content from that feed will show up in the For You page. This helps you see content from feeds with the highest signal-to-noise ratio first.

In addition to RSS feeds, you connect to other users who upvoted the same content as you. This way other users help highlight great content from feeds you are already connected to and discover other feeds that they are connected to.

To sum up: upvote content => connect to RSS feeds and users => discover great new content => repeat."
I mean, also Blender (written in pure C, Python scripting for UI). Pretty sure it's as complex as Wolfram at that point. Largely financed by private corporations now, still open source.

> The space metric fits very neatly into the Einstein field equations, and the expanding universe pops out of that directly.

This actually sounds plausible, in some weird way, especially the bit about manufacturers being kept in check by lawsuits.

>Yes, there is. The OP used the product in accordance to the manufacturer's guidelines[1], and adhered to all safety warnings (which, by the way, didn't even mention risk of fire or chemical burns under normal operating conditions).

No, the OP claims he did that ;)

But even then...

>Given that, the manufacturer's fault appears to be clearly established.

No, honestly, it isn't. There is such a thing as pure accident. Things break, and you have no expectation things won't ever break. This time it broke in a somewhat dangerous way. To me, in order for the manufacturer to be liable, the manufacturer must have committed an "avoidable" act and not acted negligent, such as a deign flaw or manufacturing flaw that could have been avoided by following current knowledge and best practices, or was negligent testing the product properly before release or didn't do proper, constant product quality assurance especially of the dangerous parts.

There are plenty of other reasonable explanations, such as customer misuse, vendor not storing the product properly in some warehouse, improper shipping, or just "shit happens" were nobody really is at fault and all parties involved didn't do anything that was avoidable wrong.
