"a system of solar-powered machines that would autonomously harvest raw materials from common dirt, use them to build more machines, and then perform useful tasks such as sucking carbon out of the atmosphere. The replico-bots didn’t pan out, because—well, do I really need to explain?"

Back in the early 90ies, i can see that, but today/in 20 years it does not sound too ridiculous. Or am I missing something?
It's perfectly legitimate for a company to apply more lenient conditions - or simply not enforce certain requirements - for some customers, especially bigger and more profitable ones. There is no duty to treat your customers equally (with specific narrow exceptions for discrimination of explicitly named protected groups for some types of contracts), you are free to enforce an AUP only for "the little guy" if you feel that's more profitable for you.

You are also free to simply deny service to someone just because; and as a more lenient way, you are free to warn someone that you will deny service if they will continue a certain activity, no matter if it was specified in some rules before or not. You likely would have to refund any prepayments and connection fees, however, there is no duty for you to continue dealing with an unwanted customer just because they are keeping within the letter of the rules you posted - doing business with someone or refusing to do so is a free choice.

You could make a good argument that ISPs should be treated like regulated utilities who would have to service everyone, and service everyone equally, because of the importance of internet access in modern society - however, this is not the situation right now in USA.
The pentagon and dodecahedron are also very interesting mathematically. Squares and triangles tile the plane, and have nice "round" number angles 90° and 60°. Pentagons don't tile and feature 108° angles. The diagonals of a convex regular pentagon are in the golden ratio to its sides. The inscribed pentagram has a very recursive feel for this reason, "tiling" (nesting) off to infinity.
Isn't this the same as many of us do even outside of games?

USSR had multiple classes (despite being a classless society on paper).

Nomenklatura ([1]) and some other smaller classes had access to western press and were often allowed to travel to the "capitalist countries". Even at home, they had access to special stores for foreigners and elite paying a special currency that regular Soviet citizens didn't have ([2]) to purchase Western goods. They watched Bond movies and wanted to read reviews as well.

That said, all of my relatives were regulars. I don't miss USSR.

Do you have any examples of a successful technological solution? We've never been here before so there are no examples in either category. It's clear that we need massive changes in behavior to stop dumping CO2 and other more potent greenhouse gases, such as methane, into the atmosphere(stop driving, don't fly, and, I'm sorry, no more babies). At 8 billion and counting, we've outstripped the planet's ability to sustain life(see Holocene Extinction Event[1][2]). It's possible we could augment these behavioral changes with sequestering efforts using technology that hasn't been invented or brought to scale yet. We'll see. I would also suggest that you pressure your political leaders but to date that approach seems to be fruitless. Politicians are all talk and no action, especially when it means pushing back against their petroleum industry donors. So we need to take things into our own hands. If we don't, and keep going down this road, we are headed straight for 4+ degrees of global warming and billions of people dead. As well as most other life on the planet.

Your gold analogy might actually help me make my point. When the California gold rush was happening people went nuts trying to mine for it. Eventually the mining slowed, presumably because the cost to mine it started to exceed the value of it. Bitcoin claims to be this way (you may have known this; I had to look it up), stating that mining will halt at 21 million Bitcoins. But didn't Bitcoin already fork in the past? And won't there always be a new cryptocurrency to fall in love with? Unlike gold, when Bitcoin mining wanes someone can just invent "gold plus" with a few keystrokes and then here we go again. The feedback loop may not be confined to a single cryptocurrency but I still don't understand how it will ever end.
I doubt most Americans even know they exist. I pay a lot of attention to China (through sources like HN, youtube channels, etc.) and even I am only barely familiar with the genre. The movies don't get published here (for obvious reasons), and Americans tend not to pay much attention to movies they themselves aren't going to watch.

I've seen a few clips, and they look like if Marvel fired all their writers and cut their budgets by 80%. I tend not to like the writing of any Chinese movies I've seen though, which I guess is to be expected. Different culture, different emphasis, different ideas of realism.

> Do you mean intended for store manager and applied to store managers only, or intended for store managers and applied to everyone (because template/boilerplate [0])?

The latter. My guess is that (for non-managers) it was boilerplate and nobody either noticed or cared enough to remove it. It's not surprising—lots of weird, sometimes contradictory stuff ends up in contracts.

I could _maybe_ see them trying to enforce it on a store or district manager if the manager decided to split immediately after being flown out to Illinois, or something. But I recall multiple managers leaving to go work at other fast food places—some even on bad terms—and nobody was ever sued. One manager even stole large sums of money and they basically said, "Oh well."

JJ's likes to pretend it's a fancy QSR, but it's all bark. You have to learn the menu and pass a test before you can get hired, but in reality you can bomb the test and still get hired. They have a strict dress code, but it's only enforced when corporate comes to do its yearly reviews. I don't see them caring enough to ever go through the effort of suing an employee for a non-compete.

But it's been 10 years since I worked there, so perhaps things have changed.

Even during the worst of times there's a spirit about Detroit. A friend of mine said in the early days she would be on a call and people would ask out loud why Detroit is even on the call. Nowadays they don't want to start the call until Detroit is online.

It's still quite the secret but Detroit's startup community is strong and growing. The skeptics will say when you're that far down it's easy to grow. But it's been ten years and slows no sign of slowing down.

Instead of being jealous of Detroit suddenly getting the attention Ann Arbor leaders are now beginning to find ways to work together. Sadly I wish the rest of the state could get some of their joint mojo.

On the issue of obituaries, etc. on HN, I think it's helpful for us to remember that we are reaching that point when the people of our collective childhoods, the pioneers of technology, media, entertainment, etc. will start to die off. I didn't realize Madden was that old, what a great guy he was.

This is quite the hasty generalization. 70 million people live in the American Midwest. Do you really think that your coworker is the first person from the Midwest you’ve worked with? Jack Dorsey and Sam Altman are from St. Louis. John Carmack is from Kansas. Larry Page is from Michigan.

It sounds to me like you don’t like your coworker so you started to make a generalization about millions of people. Pretty silly thing to do, if you ask me.

This is genuinely a huge win for the EFF. While I’m sure haters will point out that the EFF did almost none of the lifting the much much harder problem is coordinating millions of people to focus on a specific goal and the EFF made “HTTPs Everywhere” a thing that got honest to god real mindshare across the whole industry.

Coordination problems like this are capital H hard. It’s why almost all boycotts, petitions, union formations, vote with you feet/wallet don’t go anywhere because it’s trying to herd cats. Encrypting the web became an inevitability because of the EFF’s work.

So sincerely, amazing job to everyone who worked on the initiative. You crazy fools actually did it!
I'm in the same boat. I've used lastpass for years and tried a few alternatives over the time but they fell down when it came to providing access to my "vault" on different systems or architectures. The biggest benefit is lastpass generating and storing random passwords for every site and application without me having to cut and paste a thing, and having it easily accessible.

That said, if their closed-source browser extension is leaking my master password to random websites I'll cut them out of my life tomorrow.

I feel like the major reason people don't know where things are in the mid west is because it's a 2D position. Coastal cities have the benefit of only requiring you to remember a single dimension.

I know where San Diego, Los Angeles, SV, Portland, Seattle, NYC, and Washington DC all are because I really only need to memorize about where they are along some coast and go inwards until things look right. Midwestern cities like St Louis, Minneapolis, Omaha, etc. and even the midwestern states themselves require a lot more spatial awareness and memory, especially if you aren't from a midwestern city and don't have an anchor point already in memory somewhere nearby.

> If they wish to claim to be a service provider they can't exercise discretion in this way.

Why do you think so? AFAIK there are not any legal requirements for internet service providers to not exercise discretion; they are allowed offer internet service, call themselves a service provider and exercise discretion in this way.

This is not a case about common carrier protections, if there was one then perhaps this incident might be used as an argument that they should not apply, but it's debatable whether it would succeed, and in that (whether this discretion would affect their position in some future lawsuits) a legal risk that they can choose to take. They definitely are allowed to exercise some discretion, and as far as I see, the latest FCC rulings since 2017 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/12/14...) do not require internet service providers to be neutral at all.

Another actuary checking in from Institute of Actuaries Australia - I'm a "qualified" actuary (associate level) who decided to not even try for the fellowship exams and instead change course completely and do a PhD in Machine Learning.

No one outside of the actuarial industry cares or really knows what it means to be an actuary. Having an actuarial background in non-traditional actuarial areas is almost more of a curse than a blessing as people don't really know what to do with you. Furthermore actuaries seem to demand a premium for a cohort that don't have strong enough grounding to do ML research or enough development chops to be an ML engineer. So you end up competing with other people in the data science field...It really is a weird position to be in.

I think my two favorite examples of this from personal experience are when people have said to me:

- Marxism is communist!

- the Nazis we’re communist!

What you are noting is something I find really personally interesting. We like to think otherwise but words are very socially defined.

What you’re describing isn’t people referencing an actual definition of communism. It’s more akin to a pointer for “bad”. Communism has been maligned in the US for so long and the label of communist/m has so long been used to malign other things (labor rights) that it is not used to refer to the economic theory in the general patience. It’s basically just a mother word for “bad” often specific to something someone perceived as related to power and economics but can’t describe. Socialism is the new version. The demands of “keep the government out of my government run healthcare” from a few years back is telling.
In non-western countries the norm is filial piety, which means showing respect, devotion and obedience to one’s parents. The West is really the only region that has shifted to the values you describe.

I believe there are advantages to the Western way. But the claim that any other way is abusive seems quite ethnocentric to me.
