> I like the 3rd reason, but don’t find the first two very compelling. We can make enforcement less expensive, having it be costly is a reason to make copyrights stronger, not a great reason to ditch the system.

I think you're misunderstanding TFA there. The main thing they're talking about there is not the cost of enforcement (point 2), but the cost to society in terms of lost / unrealised economic surplus (point 1). Look at the first graph on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_surplus : the blue line, producers' price as a function of unit cost, should in economic theory equal their marginal cost. The shape it has in this graph is typical for manufactured physical goods; it slopes upwards to the right. For "intellectual property", like books or films, it will be much closer to a horizontal line (once you've written the book / produced the movie, you can sell additional units at almost no additional cost; all additional revenue is almost purely profit). Sure, the blue area (producer surplus) may be smaller with a horizontal supply price line, but the point is that the total economic surplus (blue plus red area) would be much larger with a lower horizontal supply price line than with a higher one. The author's argument is that the monopoly granted by too-strict copyright terms allow suppliers to keep the price higher than would otherwise be the case, making the size of the whole surplus -- blue plus (admittedly, mostly) red areas -- smaller than it could (should) be. That is the true economic cost of too-strict copyright terms.

At least that's how I understood their argument.
It's gotten really bad lately, with antivax covid patients and their family members assaulting doctors and nurses in hospitals. In some areas, health care workers are quitting in droves.
What is the primary use case for storage this fast — distributed training? Even for that is storage throughput a common bottleneck above say 10GiB/s?
That's the biggest flaw I see in these discussions. People think that they can tweak one variable and hold everything else flat. It doesn't work; everything is related. Raise your price 4% and...

Competitors may do the same, or less, or more, driving business to you or away from you.
Suppliers may increase product cost.
Employees may be taxed more.
Employees may lose benefits.
Demand will fall by an unpredictable amount.
Demographics of employees and customers will shift.
Inflation may hit, temporarily/geographically localized or not.
labor cost increases may need to ripple up through the entire labor pool, not just bottom-tier.
Employee's cost of buying food just went up, diluting their gains.
And so on.

Many of those effects are miniscule. Some are good, some bad. But there's an endless amount of them. It's a chaotic system, it's not just some simple equations.
Symantec was obligated to pay him a royalty on every box with his picture on it. When I joined Symantec in 1995 they were cursing this royalty and trying to eliminate his picture. Products did not sell as well without it so they kept it until they found it was no longer needed to sell their stuff
> Instead of making the best attempt to comprehend and embrace the author's style and intention and finding compelling arguments for the question "why this code is probably fine and should be merged as-is?" ...

I don't think we should take it as given that the goal should be to approve the code in the originally written form. In some sense, I think if you're in an environment where you're going to be doing PRs for every change anyway, if your code is consistently perfect when you cut the PR, then probably you've cut it too late?

What if instead we frame PRs as the basis for an artifact-based discussion about how to do something. The code needs to exist in a complete enough form to provide a concrete basis for discussion. But if you see your reviewer as a resource and collaborator, who might have ideas or insights that you didn't, then ask for those ideas or insights a bit earlier, before the code is polished.

The best PRs aren't the ones that catch a bug. The best PRs offer some criticism or question or suggestion that allows you to reframe an abstraction or refactor something to be simpler, more flexible, more testable, more readable, faster, whatever, and from which the original author learns something. Your code might not have had a bug before, but that doesn't mean it cannot and should not be improved.

Circling back to 'trust' though, this approach does require a degree of trust. The reviewer can't be focused on nits and gotchas; more minor things are inevitable if our colleagues pull us in sooner, but we have to trust that they'll get sorted out.
Pi in Short Supply Claims of 52-Week Wait for 4GB Model
Probably an anecdote but in the medieval times people often had a human scull on their desk to remind them of their own mortality, sometimes it's good to be able to think: live now while you can.
Why spend 5 hours cutting down a tree with an axe when I can spend weeks buying and learning to use a feller buncher incase I need to cutdown lots of trees in the future.
I am by no means rich, but I have a bit of money, certainly a lot more than I used to have. Some of my friends have less, and some actually struggle a bit.

I am aware of it, it also sort of makes me feel bad/uncomfortable in the sense that I don't per se think I deserve it more than people who have less. I don't want to come off as a show off, or confront them unnecessary. I would like to help, but I don't have the funds to actually resolve stuff, also don't want to come off as denigrating. It's difficult. What helps is to think we like each other and money is not relevant to that, the best we can do is be there for each other as friends. And I am confident they would let me know if they need & want help financially or otherwise, as I would with them.

I also have a friend who is properly rich imo, it does make me feel a bit envy at times and question my own situation, but again I like hanging out with the dude, and I don't mind spending time in his fancy house either haha. Instead of thinking "I don't have this" I just enjoy the perks.

The other thing that helps for me is to realize I don't need a fancy house, or car, or whatever. Money should not define you, and money can only do so much, it's no guarantee for happiness. Things obviously are more tricky when you don't have enough and actually struggle as that can make life very difficult, I've experienced some of that in the past and it's really just no fun.
I mean, if there were no access to guns it would probably take care of the problem. We'd probably end up with stabbings or bombings, though. My opinion is that American culture has a problem, guns or no guns. Lack of social cohesion, and a government that is more interested in increasing military budgets than finding ways to help its cash strapped population.
Tech founder out after antisemitic, anti-vaccine email
Ok that’s one try. And there were… literally zero reasons in the article for actually using blockchains or cryptocurrency.

I believe this guy is being intellectually honest (which is a feeling I don’t get often in this space) but I don’t think he’s capable of asking the right questions.

The question that should be asked is what is a problem we (humans) have that is not only solved by this new tech, but can’t in any way even by bending over backwards be solved with some other technology?
> any google account which does have 2FA should (as I understand it)

Are you talking from experience (with Gmail) or just talking "best practices"?
People on HN like to complain about it becoming impossible to replace even the simplest parts on Apple products yourself. Try replacing pretty much any part on the Small Child units! It's a total nightmare! It can drive you into bankruptcy and still the Small Child might take weeks or even months to regain full functionality!
Exactly, we do not need it. If it weren't for job negotiations I'd be making all my contributions on the net masked.
There is obviously a tradeoff here with the optimal amount of code review that varies with impact and difficulty. Dogmatically doing and waiting for an in depth review on a tiny and likely insignificant change is silly. Blindly pushing big db migrations is also silly.
It does seem to me that Mozilla have absolutely flubbed many, many things. If they are into Crypto, then they are stupid for doing so.
We tried austerity in the European Union. It worked (but only for Germany). The rest never recovered from the 2009 collapse.
Lots of people use and used X, for various X. Various auth only companies exist, like Okta. They don't care for your "data", they are just trying to log you in. Same for Ping, Oracle Identity (or whatever they are called these days), Amazon etc. Then there are services where you use a physical card for auth (many federal government jobs require people to auth using a card which basically just holds keys). There are many auth services with waaaaay more users than any web3 wallet.

The statement that web3 doesn't solve anything which hasn't already been solved wrt authentication... is about as close to a true statement as one can make.
If you cut through a HV cable while wearing basic protective equipment, you will trip the BMS and be fine.

In the same way you have to disconnect a few things to make an ICE vehicle safe to use, you have to simply disconnect the battery, and it will be safe. This can be easily engineered.

Louis Rossman isn't an idiot, he worked on EVs with voltages high enough to injure you (and so have I), and he's correct.

You shouldn't be. Those are motorized vehicles and are not allowed on non-motorized trails.

Wow, what a hellscape. (No offense, SF residents.)

I've never seen anything like that anywhere else.
> COVID-19 is about to kill restaurants by the thousands.

Considering the number of human beings COVID-19 has actually--not metaphorically--killed, this strikes me as a poor choice of words.
FWIW you can install outside AMO. They must just be signed and reviewed by AMO first. Having done it I wouldn't say it isn't onerous.
This is key. OP may be too embarrassed to invite them over. This is a mistake though, and OP would feel better if they did this.
Civil disobedience is a crucial part of liberal democracy. What's scary is not that it's happening, it's that it's being vilified. I'd expect and want resistance to unjust laws, and in fact such resistance is a moral obligation.
The human mind is designed to solve problems, and so this is its mode. It perceives death as a problem & in doing so, sets itself an unsolvable problem. Also, consider that human language can describe things and situations which are nonsensical. Yet we have a very hard time imagining "not existing." There is no experience associated with nonexistence. Time will not "zip forward." If we are "reconstituted," as imagined here, we will have no memory of any prior existence. Or if, in the infinite permutations, we do remember, how odd and what a perverse reality that would be. This all may have already happened many times. These are the boundaries of our experience. You can have any attitude you like towards this, but why not a positive attitude which will lead you to enjoying this existence as much as possible, and also helping others to do the same?

> If code reviewers share responsibility for the code they review, why on earth would anyone review code?

For the same reason that people write code they'll be responsible for: it's their job. Code review works when it's seen as equal priority and equal importance to writing code.
People obsessed with celebrities tend to score lower on cognitive ability
Maybe OP is jealous but on the other hand, plenty of rich people downplay it as much as they can, instead of bragging about their latest $1M gain to their less fortunate friends. Imho OP's friends could be more considerate.
Interesting.

"natural resources such as [...] waterfalls"?

Is this a typo? Or is it talking about small waterfalls for hydro power?

Which of those six factors was the roman empire lacking? I feel like they could have had all six, but I don't know much about roman history.
I'm surprised Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater didn't make it in there. I guess people moving there are either using other companies trucks to move in, or are just hiring people to move them in.
You should have splurged for the Small Child Pro Max++. It comes with the extra neural engine cores. Sometimes buying the top of the line unit seems too expensive at time of purchase, but it's only after some usage does the decision to save money up front come to be regretted.
Cables aren't fuel lines. If you short a HV cable, the battery BMS WILL trip, and the battery will be disconnected. If it doesn't, it's gross negligence on the part of Tesla.

Clearly not the same place McAfee went, that's for sure.

The late 80's early 90's had some strange Tier-2 computer celebs (Tier 1 being Jobs, Grove, Ellison, and Gates).
I am not trying to diagnose you, so I'll just say that from my experience as someone suffering from depression, I would think of "the idea of dying most night" during a depression episode, but not when it was over, and definitely not every night.

Until I started treatment for my depression I was very puzzled by the idea that some people might NOT think of death every day.

Again, not trying to suggest you necessary suffer from depression, but if you have any other depression-related symptoms, it might be wise to get it checked.
It's perfectly plausible that someone at some point may have told the US Attorney, "Holmes should be charged, look at what she did to Jim Mattis", but it's not as if that needed to happen in order for charges to be filed against Holmes. The case against her was quite compelling and I find it highly implausible that pro-Mattis sentiment within the DoJ would have been a factor in the Holmes indictment going ahead.

The high-profile nature of the case was absolutely a factor in how the DoJ handled it -- I'm sure the media attention got it more AUSA hours, etc.
I had this same idea, but just haven't gotten around to implementing it - so thank you for this reference! This also gives me the perfect excuse for finally getting around to implement automatic dynamic loading of Bash builtins for my Bash package manager

This would be very useful as a fallback - in case something like `socat` isn't installed, this can be used to display some sort of dumbed down version of the site
These ones would work for me:

"CO2 pooling risk"
"Gas pooling risk"
"Risk of suffocation"
Putting away the continued nonsense about subtle pivots - it's not even the same claimed pivot, and I explained from my very first sentence that the early uncertainty could make closing schools understandable, if only for a couple months - it is extremely untrue that the other conditions were widely considered sufficient.

That's why TFA was written. Tons of people still deeply disagree with this risk calculus.

Sounds like DC needs to be made a state.
Does that also hold for e-bikes and such?
The only time I make anyone on my team submit a code review is if they're a junior developer, and we're actively trying to make them a better developer.

Otherwise, my experience with code reviews has been that it's one developer telling another developer how they'd approach the problem, or their preferred style, or some such nonsense, with the originally submitted code good enough to get the job done.

Everything else this author says rings true to me when code reviews are a universal practice.

They slow everything down, and only occasionally is that slow down worth it.
I know I said wouldn’t reply (and frankly this meta debate is every bit as worthless as I predicted it would be) but I feel I should point out that you haven’t traced the thread back up to the OP when conducting your analysis. You need to hit ‘parent’ on the post that you thought was top. Might need to do that a couple times in fact. That should add the context I was describing which you couldn’t see. :)
> and there is no way to obtain the original ROM? and flash it and everything is ok again?

If it was permanently bricked, then no. The device would be in a state that it could not restart the flash process.

If reflashing were possible with the original ROM, it would not be considered permanently bricked.

It would be possible that an OEM or advanced specialist may have the ability to salvage a permanently bricked device, through special equipment, and/or repair/replace components. However for all practical purposes, if a (update/patch/hacking) process can leave a device "permanently bricked", an end-user cannot recover from that state.

Keep in mind the author is averaging all labor over al sales. So that would include bussing tables, a manager, etc. basically every employee in the store while the sandwich is being prepared is contributing to the $2.50 per sandwich labor cost.
My parents avoided this issue by just not offering me crisps biscuits etc almost ever (perhaps one on the weekend if I were lucky - certainly not every day). Within healthy food groups they would make an effort to provide foods I liked though.
I feel like this article is written with a bunch of false dichotomies. You can still have code reviews and still have trust.

We're required to do code reviews for SOC II compliance. Even if we werent, I'd likely still encourage my team to do them.

I trust everyone on our team. They're all extremely talented and competent. They could all ship things to prod everyday without a peer code review and I doubt we'd notice any difference in quality.

The reality is code reviews serve way more than making big brother happy. They help to avoid silos. They help to gain perspective. They help people mentor and grow. They help the team build a collective understanding of how to work effectively.
> Government has the ability to reform inheritance and taxation. However, theres no political will

IMHO it is not right to try to make people that earn more than us the target to be sacked. I think it is a bad thing. It is not a matter of you have less or you have more . It is a matter of respecting people who make money legally or inherit it by the will of their own relatives or whatever. I do not think anyone should be entitled to put hands into that for any single reason whatsoever unless that money has been stolen or made in illicit ways. That is the only valid reason IMHO.
I like Mozilla and Firefox is my default browser, but clearly that was doomed. Google is never going to be OK with Mozilla owning the identity system. Neither would Facebook, or Apple or anyone else. They all have their system for “just use us as the login to every service!” And the only result is that there are 50[1] different “universal” login options for every site.

[1] ok most sites limit it to 2-3 options, but which 2-3 is up in the air.
In fairness, you are using the stereotypical language of anti-science vaccine deniers: "Non-compliance", "Take back your freedom."
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys options. Options create greater opportunities for happiness.

A lack of money means a lack of options, which can put a hard limit on happiness. The hedonistic treadmill exists for sure, but that's a better place to be than drowning.

People can talk all they want about how simply being with family makes them happy, but certainly being with family at Disneyland beats being with family in your cramped apartment where you're having to choose between paying rent or being able to eat more than ramen and ketchup sandwiches.
Finding a new group of friends who disregard health experts isn't exactly a great long-term plan.

It's amazing that everyone's responses are basically, "the answer is simple! we just completely ignore the experts! we've been doing it all along!"

I'm wondering when even the experts start saying "Damn this isn't worth it". What year of masking, remote learning, social distancing, etc. do they start to give up too? 3 years? 4 years?

I got hints of it reading some doctors who have been hardened proponents of masks, vaccine mandates, etc. over the holidays where they were basically like "yeah the holidays are going to be a shit show but I'm still going to see family, even if it's not a good idea". Paraphrasing of course.
We can make this short:

There is a continuum of causal/counterfactual techniques in economics.

This continuum ranges between "calibrated" simulation models and "econometric" models. The latter are statistical approaches, with the extreme capped by distribution free or semi-parametric "causal" estimations.

Structural dynamic econometric models, for example the estimation of parameters of auctions, hiring behavior or impacts of cost shifts, would fall in the middle of that range, featuring approaches from both areas (for example, computational fixed-point search for equilibria, re-estimation of parameters and then looping back to a new equilibrium).

The paper you cite is on the former: it is a calibrated DSGE model.
It is therefore not even an econometric model.

I don't want to be mean, but it really, really seems you are on the first Dunning Kruger peak of "knowing what one is talking about" when it comes to econometrics.
None of those are in the same “likelihood of death to a person who has common sense” risk category as the high-voltage Mercedes front compartment. See also the various other replies along these lines, such as:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29801119

Another way to look at this is, “are there any consumer-serviceable parts within the compartment?” and “are there instantly-fatal wires/terminals within the compartment?”. The pair of answers “no” and “yes” for the Mercedes demand a wholly different approach to risk management and safety design than a gas engine, whose pair of answers are “yes” and “no”.

EV high-voltage are not consumer-serviceable, as a regular consumer cannot be expected to understand high-voltage safety practices. Yes, some consumers know how to service them, but the necessary safety practices that are generally commonly understood for gas engines are not commonly understood for electric engines, and are regulated differently as a result.
Mortality rates are creeping down and new therapeutics are coming in, though.
The point is with regard to escalation of force rationale, getting bent out of shape about the mere mention of the big bad US military is a pathetic response. No, the London police and the CIA aren't military - neither enjoy anything approaching the same level of institutional memory, something that directly informs well thought out contingency planning.

90 minute commutes not only fuck with people's heads, it also creates Stockholm syndrome where people start talking about how cars are freedom. This isn't directly caused by the commutes. It's more that car-dependent suburbs also can't support transit infrastructure, so not having a car at all is still worse than 90 minutes of lost time.
