Oh. So you don't want a system that removes corruption, regulatory capture, and lobbying as far as possible? I don't want to destroy the financial incentive either, I think it's great people that bring wanted goods to market profit from it.

IP is an interesting point, although I'm not convinced that generating the IP is more than a small fraction of the cost of a drug. An aggregate I saw from 2011-2018 puts Research at only 17% of revenue, and only some proportion of that is geared towards generating IP. That is to say, with all else removed you could generate an IP only company for 17% the cost of drug sales.

> It's also 'plebian' to suggest that effort and value provided are not hugely correlated

I think it's a weak correlation at best. A single data point (Tiger Woods) doesn't constitute a correlation. People working manual labour jobs put in a lot of effort, but they create comparatively little value.

I suspect that leverage and value are highly correlated. If you have more leverage, you're probably going to create more value.

Sure, and that is a problem with exposing certain kinds of dynamism when your customer base is the kind that is inflexible about typing.

OTOH, a lot can still be done with dynamism on the inside and a typed public interface, and also there's a significant part of the community that accepts selective disabling of typechecking as an acceptable when dynamism provides adequate benefits.
I’m honestly asking if you really think it’s the media driving racism in America. To believe so, seems to me to be a remarkably ignorant perspective when it comes to the history of the USA. Was the media behind racism in the 60’s? If not, then are you implying that the racism somehow went away and got better while the media picked up the baton so to speak to rekindle it? That sounds utterly ludicrous to me. Am I misunderstanding your point?

From a manager to SalesForce/Pega/etc? What's your reason for it?

If it's only "it might be fun"... I really can't imagine that it is (I have experience with other low-code tools, not the ones you listed) but different people like different things. It also seems like a strange career choice to move towards a more locked-in environment that's specifically tied to some company and focus on technical skills that are less transferable. It doesn't look great to me unless there are some special circumstances that you haven't mentioned.

If it's to move away from management, why not go back to being an individual contributor in Java or some other programming language?

Revenue lost by parking meters may be coming out of your pocket. It depends on the city and their contract with the meter company. If you're in Chicago for example, 100% of revenue for the next 60-odd years goes to a private company and the city pays them for lost revenue every time they shut a street down for repairs.

The contract in chicago also reportedly contained stipulations that the city wouldn't install certain types of infrastructure that might affect parking revenues like bike lanes. That's the sort of conflict-of-interest I was talking about.

In general, of course I agree that metered parking can be a great solution to many issues. I would just prefer that the money actually go to the city rather than terrible private companies.
This is a well known effect.

> how do we know it isn't dark matter causing the collapse to happen faster than thought?

The average density of dark matter is way too small. It's significant on the scale of a galaxy because it doesn't clump, so its density is basically the average density everywhere (denser towards the center and less dense further out, but still of the same rough order of magnitude), instead of being isolated clumps surrounded by huge expanses of empty space, as with ordinary matter. But on the scale of a single stellar system the density of dark matter is so small that its effect on the dynamics is negligible.
It is, relative to not doing it. But it's quite a lot less overhead than a native thread.
Good race car drivers actually know how car works and I bet can fix many things. Race car drivers take the car to the limit and understanding how car works is competitive advantage - they can help mechanics tune the car, can diagnose problems that show up only at high speed, understand pro/cons of different suspesions and how they work, etc.

On the other hand typical Uber driver does not need to know anything about the car other than what pedals are for and you turn the wheel to steer. If he tries to take the car to the limit, he probably gets 1 star rating from scared passenger. No need to know how car works.

You decide whether Google engineers are more like race car drivers or Uber drivers.

> A lot of scholars used to insist that the Bible was obviously not historical because it talked about this thing called the Assyrian empire that had conquered the fertile crescent, and everyone knew that empire never existed.

> And then in the mid 19th century archeologists unearthed extensive evidence of the Assyrian empire.

You're conflating the Assyrians and the Hittites. The Assyrians were well known from sources other than the Hebrew Bible before the decipherment of Akkadian cuneiform and modern archeology. Even then, Archibald Sayce's 1876 identification of the Biblical Hittites with the Hittite Empire of Anatolia remains problematic today. You're also drawing up a bit of a strawman of pre-19th century scholars—the problem of the Biblical Hittites never seems to have been more than a minor curiosity for those arguing over the value of the Hebrew Bible as a historical work.

Also, if you're going invoke Sennacherib's Annals to compare with the Biblical accounts, actually compare them. Briefly, the Hebrew Bible has Hezekiah paying heavy tribute (though not as heavy as in the Annals) to Sennacherib so he won't attack, Sennacherib lays siege anyway, and then divine forces destroy Sennacherib's army.

This comment is really fascinating: not only the author completely missed the point of the original comment they are responding to (which is: ”having to compile your drivers was the state of Linux in 99, but it' hasn't been anymore for at least 15 years, so complain that Linux doesn't work using this argument just shows you're out of date by two decades at this point”) but the author just refused to even attempt to understand when other people tried to warn them and instead went completely mad.
Benchtops are at 60-90 MHz field strengths. That is not really enough to look at more complex molecules, the bigger routine NMR spectrometers are at 400-600 MHz (and there are even larger ones, but those are not used for small molecules that much). And even then those benchtops cost something close to 100k USD, that's quite far from affordable.

The "room temperature" superconductors are not used at room temperature in these cases, they're still cooled down. And so far the only spectrometer I know of where they are used is the still extremely new 1.2 GHz Bruker. And that one is almost certainly somewhere between 10 and 20 million USD. The new superconductors are low temperature superconductors, not room temperature. And even then they still work better at lower temperatures. At best you can remove the liquid helium from the system and use liquid nitrogen only, which is an advantage but still really far from room temperature.

> IMHO, the solution is actually less regulation.

> If any company could enter that market with being sued into the ground, you'd get top notch a quality product for a fraction of the price before you could finish spelling epinephrine.

I doubt it. IIRC, EpiPens are off-patent, and the only thing holding back competition is the need to demonstrate the competing product is safe, reliable, and equivalent. I even believe a competitor product was withdrawn from the market because it was delivering an unreliable dosage.

So if you remove the regulations, you'll probably get a flood of corner-cutting crap that's dangerous. That's likely especially true for an emergency use item like an EpiPen, which literally sits on a shelf unused unless there's an emergency (leaving a big opportunity to sell defective items undetected by consumers).

Realise that fear gives you the opportunity to grow. Don’t try to ignore it or distract yourself from it. Acknowledge that you are afraid and then push yourself to do the right thing anyway. Overcoming fear builds confidence. Turning away from fear does the opposite. A hero is not somebody who isn’t afraid. A hero is somebody who does the right thing even when he/she is afraid. And the more you do it, the easier it gets. Because you build confidence every time you push yourself to do things even when you are afraid.
Ask HN: Do 'selfish genes' explain Galapagos birds etc.?
I understood that extravagant mating displays, which are detrimental to the male in particular (requiring calories, making vulnerable to predators etc) are selected for because they signal to the female that the male is strong enough to survive that handicap.

But isn't it enough that the gene for expressing such elaborate displays is 'selfish'? Consider that a gene that 'wants to be copied' (all genes), if it could signal it's presence and simultaneously cause that signal to trigger mating, would succeed in continuing in the species? In that case mating rituals are not there for any fitness proof, but simply a sort of parasite. A gene that's using an animal for it's own purposes.

How could we even distinguish this sort of parasitic gene, from any other kind of fitness selection? Is there a meaningful difference?

> How long till Linux or Gnome supports these types of laptops?

Approximately one eternity. Desktop Linux still doesn't support:

- Using different DPI on a different screen in a multi-monitor setup (common case is when you connect a low-dpi monitor to a high-dpi laptop)

- Color depth of more than 8 bits per channel

- Color management in general, needed for wide-gamut displays

- Any kind of HDR functionality

And hardware that has these features that Linux can't make use of due to a series of unfortunate architectural decisions has existed for a long time.
A good example is probably React. I would consider it to be battle-tested, but it's evolved significantly over the years. "Latest and greatest" would refer to e.g. hooks in the particular case of React.
Cars are routinely designed not to be serviced by users.

The ECU / ignition elements of my german car are not user serviceable. In fact, even the mechanic I use (fully authorized specialist) had to get the car to a dealer, who had to talk to the mfg to override something in the system so it would start (my odometer rolled back to zero as well as part of this).

User changes to auto systems are a common warranty dispute item - your claim that it is not is a total and absolute lie.

https://www.focusrs.org/threads/ford-denying-warranty-on-foc...

In fact, many mfgs have started to do a lot of security in the ECU to handle issues here.

Interestingly, here is a lawsuit involving tesla that DIRECTLY involves the front trunk! I wouldn't be surprised if tesla has had some major payouts as a result on things like this.

"Another issue was that the car's fuse blew on numerous occasions. Each time, our engineers explored all possible explanations and were never able to find anything wrong with the car. Still, just to be sure, we replaced several parts that could have been related to the alleged problem – all at no expense to the customer. When the fuse kept blowing despite the new parts, and faced with no diagnosis showing anything wrong with the car, the engineers were moved to consider the possibility that the fuse had been tampered with. After investigating, they determined that the car's front trunk had been opened immediately before the fuse failure on each of these occasions. (The fuse is accessed through the front trunk.) Ultimately, Tesla service applied non-tamper tape to the fuse switch. From that point on, the fuse performed flawlessly." - Tesla

This was part of some active litigation.

Plenty of mechanics working on fords (using your example) have sued and won major $$$. During the absestos claims period it was extremely common for these claims to be made.

"He came into regular contact with brakes, gaskets, clutches and original equipment manufacturer replacement parts, which allegedly exposed him to asbestos." - $8M+ verdict in that case as an example. Ford has been sued by mechanics who have come into contact with Benzene contained in ford vehicles (from the gas)

So you are lying. I could keep on finding these things - folks "servicing" parts of their car not designed to be end user serviceable, with poor results. They then go to make warranty claims and/or sue car companies over the issues they (may) have caused through their "servicing".

I mean, I literally found a case involving someone opening... the front trunk of an EV vehicle!

Apple has had tons of issues here too despite locking their phones down ten ways to Sunday. My understanding is they've had to modify things for their hong kong market given the fraud levels despite their efforts to really lock things up.
I rediscovered RSS about six months ago when I switched back to Linux from MacOS and realized Akregator was still part of KDE. Most actual long form content - blogs, news, company websites, podcasts all still have RSS feeds, and once you have 10-20 good ones loaded into Akregator, it's actually a pretty good experience.

Most of the big socials dropped RSS feeds a while back for the same reason their APIs became less useful: they monetized with ads being mixed in with content. Allowing users to view their stream outside the UI literally cuts into the ad revenue.

Hey,

No, I have not found anything that I would dare to try.

There is a (in my opinion) shady set of "scraper providers" who for
some $$$ (how much and by what matrix differs a lot).
That claim to do this for you.

Firstly, I dont really trust them to begin with.
Second since this a breach of Facebook TOS going with a known provider seems scary and I would prefer to set my own request repeat speed.

More importantly usually their main "top" feature is to scrape out
all contact information in a group for "marketing" opportunities.

So I decided against all those.

I am still looking.
I have not given up.
My need for this is actually increasing.

I tried doing it by hand but I could not stand it.

I have tried some Macro recorders of various types
but not found one that really understands what I want to do.
The structure of Facebooks pages are (on purpose?) hard to explain to such a tool.

I keep looking around various scraping frameworks for Go, C# and Python.
I have not yet been able to create a program / script that is good enough.

It seems so bloody easy when you sit there,with Facebook in a browser
you scroll, cut paste, scroll. annoying.

To be clear, I want the content of the post I am an admin for.
Other admins and some users are worried that many years worth of
great discourse can be lost at a blink of a Facebook eye.
So I am trying to find a "backup" solution really.

> I've seen this argument before—that URLs came first

I didn't make that argument.

I said that a number of standards replaced reference to URLs in earlier versions with references to URI in later ones as part of a movement among those involved in the standards to focus (refocus, if you prefer) on identifiers whereas previous usage in the context of those standards had focused on URLs function as locators.

And, also, that this was less successful in shaping actual usage than the people involved had hoped in many cases.
