Quip from a friend from a (relatively) poor country: “Before I moved to the US, it would have seemed bizarre to me that someone could be rich enough to afford a car but not be able to afford a driver”.
I am not sure there is any requirement that your price be based on the cost of your bill of materials. Would shut down a lot of companies that are like "$30,000 per year for SSO". It probably costs them less to let you log in with Google than it does to store your password hashes, and yet it's always the "no, you have to pay us more" option.

The thing with these journals is that they have name recognition that makes people want their research to be published in them. Getting published is good for their career. Combine that with a desire to support open access, and you have a product that you can charge for.

It's doubly good, because it's not like authors are using their own personal funds to pay this fee. It just comes out of their grant. Whenever someone buys something with someone else's money, you know you're going to be ripped off. See also, Wifi at businessey hotels.

Anyway, if the taxpayers are paying for this, we should ask authors to just host the papers on their websites. If you need the $5 for a VPS or whatever, I'll give you the $5 personally.
Was it not clear I was talking about a hypothetical?
Like the rest of the comments say, this is a fee that the authors pay to publish, not a commission that is paid to the authors.

However, if they're Chinese, the authors may get paid quite a bit (~$50-100,000) as a reward for publishing in a top journal: https://www.enago.com/academy/paid-to-publish-the-chinese-ca...
> We deny people waiting for organ transplants medical treatment regularly.

Yes, but not for their moral failings. We deny care for health reasons, as generally speaking the goal is to optimize for additional healthy years of life.
Still the case in cities like Hong Kong or Singapore. A parking spot here costs a lot more to rent than hiring a full time live-in nanny ("helper"). Sad but true.
IIRC those got canceled a while back. Maybe some are still around, grandfathered in, but I don't think there's new ones.
My work is the exact same and I’m needing something to tracked ‘borrowed’ or ‘extra’ hours… interesting!
I have some bad news from you about where anesthesia data came from...
It is hard to compare because Agatha Christie didn't have an internet bill to pay, but also didn't have access to a huge chunk of the world's knowledge at her fingertips. This goes for a lot of things. Her healthcare would have been much less expensive than modern care, even adjusting for inflation, but she would also be more likely to die of disease or injury.
They're going modern in a pretty big way: https://www.archpaper.com/2021/11/plans-for-a-modern-interio...
Don't forget about healthcare. Few people would prefer the comforts of the past if it comes with infant mortality rate of the past.

Yes. Most credit card companies will offer credit monitoring as a service to their customers--usually the TransUnion and Experian reports—-and you can get push notifications when someone pulls your credit. If you don't have a credit card, you can sign up for CapOne's CreditWise.

This helped me avoid a bad situation where someone took out of a covid relief sba loan in my name for $99,500. Got the push notification, called the sba, sat on hold for 2 hours. They stopped it.

If you don't want to freeze your credit, you can put fraud alerts in place for one year so a lender is supposed to call you and speak with you on the phone before putting any applications through. I've had a mixed experience with this

I bought a house from the 1950s and it was barely bigger than that average of 983 square feet you cite. It's not tiny; it's adequate for a couple and a kid.
I had Surface 3 Pro and it was a nightmare. In the end, the SSD died and the way the machine is glued together, it's impossible to open without breaking the screen.
Before its final death, it had problems with sleep/wake functions. A standard reinstall wouldn't fix it. Eventually had to take it back to Microsoft for a full re-image. That did the trick.
It seems like it will be a popular option in any country that has abject poor you can hire for a pittance but also a middle class.
I've got the opposite issue, and if I'm being frank - maybe it's not such a great look for me as a senior.

But also at the same time... why should we suffer alone? Sometimes something that might take you a day by yourself might take you an hour with another person with a fresh perspective. Isn't it more efficient? Let's loop each other in, often. I'm always down to share screen.

Reach for the Stars: Marcus Tullius Cicero and the Classical Constellations
I don't get what is so difficult for people to digest in discussions like these. Someone says something like "I try to do the best I can to minimize the unethical treatment of others," and it's a tidal wave of angry finger pointing and fallacious appeals to nature.
Probably by making sure backups are ready to go and having people expecting it in case something does break? So if something goes wrong they're aware that a solar storm might've caused it rather than a localized issue.
>The homeless issue in the US is much more of a drug addiction and alcoholism problem than a down on one's luck problem.

This is more like a convenient truth. How many of those people become homeless, then turn drugs? It's not like the US's social safety net is particularly robust, and even just being on the street for a week can expose you to the violent way the homeless are treated.

I’m surprised to see such irrelevant and sensationalized information being pushed to the top of the comment section of a hn post.
Does a crime that happened 34 years ago, and a sentence served for said crime, hold any at all relevance to the medical breakthrough posted here?
Does a questionably-ethical nonprofit’s viewpoint matter on said medical breakthrough?
No to either.
We are seeing a boom as cloud and data spend is going up as internal IT struggles to go without it, which in turn makes a virtuous cycle for even more. Likewise, once you start doing things like GPUs for graph neural nets and visualization, it's like highspeed internet: our users don't want to go back. For folks doing real things with data, it's been busy times.

My issue is more like "we and our F500 users are asking for more GPUs than azure can supply", vs job loss and stagnation.
Your link seems pretty specific that the subscription stuff is for Docker Desktop; I don't use Docker, but this seems to be a different product?
You can still get realtime priority for threads without rtkit but you will have to set the appropriate permissions on your user. See the section on privileges: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/sched.7.html

I wouldn't suggest giving those permissions to your user because it opens up the possibility of a denial of service. With those permissions, any program running as your user can spawn lots of realtime threads that can take over the scheduler and lock the system up. This was detailed in the rtkit announcement, and preventing it is the reason rtkit exists: http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2009/06/0191.html

Maybe realtime audio is not important to you, and that's fine. But it's never as simple as "delete these things and now I have a secure system", you may be trading off security elsewhere to get that. Please also note that pkexec is not required to use polkit. You can remove pkexec and still have a functioning polkit installation and still use all those other daemons too. For a really secure system you may want to remove all suid binaries anyway and only use polkit or SELinux or something.
I spent many teenage years looking for a GTK Foobar2000 replacement for my Compiz/Gnome desktop.
Finally settled on http://gmusicbrowser.org/
For large music libraries, UX on Gmusicbrowser was awesome.
Wish newer GTK music players would take cues or I could find something similar.

How do you think the CVEs get discovered? What about CVEs in the qualcomm specific code? How do you know that the amateur kernel developers wouldn't fall prey to c footguns and introduce new vulnerabilities?

Don't get me wrong, this is strictly better than the current state of affairs where there's zero patches, but I think people are underestimating how much effort it takes to keep a huge codebase patched.
Um, no, there's a very clear difference between 'borrowing' ideas, building on other people's achievements etc, and outright theft, when you copy someone's detailed designs wholesale, especially from secret proprietary plans obtained through illegal espionage.
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/11/24/nature-add-op... gives some background:

> Someone must read and evaluate submissions regardless of whether they are accepted or rejected. That means under an open-access model where revenue is only collected from authors whose work is published, costs per published article are much higher at very selective journals than they are at less selective journals.

But mostly it seems that this is the price that Nature and Max Planck Digital Library negotiated, and Nature decided it was high enough that they could offer it to everyone.
Chip binning or most complex systems QC also works that way ?

If it doesn't behave as within parameters defined would the core/chip is binned.

Complex systems can break in unexpected ways if any one parameter is outside range even if it actually better (say more clock speed) , you want to stick to spec.
> _Lenin_ called it "state capitalism.”

Lenin called a transitional phase that was intended to take 6 months to establish and another 6 months to phase out into socialism “state capitalism” (it may be the case that “war communism" of 1918-1921 was officially recognized as something of an extension of that phase necessitated by emergency), but state capitalism was never officially the long-term policy or the self-description of the state of the economy past that point; the criticism from non-Leninist Marxists is that what the steady state of what the USSR became was state capitalism, not socialism.
Yep; though enough time working for companies tends to instill some knowledge and understanding of the business side of things, and as long as understanding of the business correlates with their own influence it tends to work out okay.

Management is weird in that understanding of the tech side of things doesn't correlate with influence.

(a, b) would make more sense if then.
Jokes aside, + also quite break the reading flows of the string such as

user_name + ": " + attr1 + "| " + attr2 + "\n"

is more difficult to parse by eyeball for me then

concat(user_name, ": ", attr1, "| ", attr2, "\n")
It's not zero cost morality wise to kill anything at any point in their lifetime; from bacteria, to worms, to flies, to pigs each has its own weight on a person's conscience be it nil or hefty. I mean that. But a pig is not human so it's acceptable to me.
I always phrased this as "You don't know how to build something until you've built it."

It's very easy to get stuck in design hell and write yourself into a corner. It's much better to get something that does what you want, then you change it to do it how you want it to.

Though like others have mentioned, this requires an engineering culture that values the second part.
I’d say their decision has a lot more to do with not wanting to piss off their $100mm asset than any sort of principled stand.
What sysadmin are desktop users having to ask for permission to use their own hardware? Even in 2001, if you had a laptop, you had access to use all it's hardware. Why wouldn't you?

How many groups do you think there are? There's only so many classes of hardware, so there's only so many groups. About 8 in total. You add the user to all of them at once. It worked just fine before polkit arrived.

Why would you want to temporarily grant privileges to hardware once? Who is trying to prevent the user from using their own hardware?

What's the very good reason all desktops use it?
I don’t know what you’re going off about. It made sense to me.

This is absolutely incorrect. Consulting companies, at least the major ones, will never let any consultant work for more than one competitor throughout their career. They also strictly forbid sharing any info learnt about a company with anyone else, talk less of with competitors.
Sure. I would imagine there has been a lot of discussion around this in certain circles. Probably no shortage of good ideas. I think culturally we need to get to the point where most people accept gender as self identified, and the rest will shake out over time.
In general I agree, where possible and where it makes sense getting others involved early is a good thing. Somethings are more solo work however, at least for a while to get things oriented. Some times it takes time to gather enough context to even start to express a problem space to others. Not everything is just adding a button to a web page.
IPv6 is working so well that people often miss the fact it's being used all over the world. Which is probably the greatest endorsement for consumer side IPv6.

I will set the victim blaming aside. In these cases, the best thing to do always is - fire your manager. Find yourself a new boss and absolutely ignore "company values" sociopaths.
> That’s moving the goalposts, not knowing it’s possible to do something is quite different than needing to look up how to do something.

In this day and age, is there a meaningful difference between those two? If someone got a call from a debt collector for a debt they weren't responsible for, don't you think they'd know to "look up how to do something"?
Part of the problem here is broken incentives.

Many software developers are not that effective at making rapid progress (for whatever reasons), so if you are actually highly skilled and highly motivated you can produce multiple of the progress of some coworkers. But generally management doesn't deliver high performers who deliver multiples of progress multiples of salary, instead they fight to keep it to small percentage rises and don't even fire the deadwood!

This (mis)management destroys intrinsic motivation of high performers and the manager is left with deadwood and skilled but unmotivated people and some average performers, which try to micromanage to get results out of.
Don’t know if you read moxie’s article linked in root, but OpenSea is actually where almost all sites get their NFT information from (even metamask iirc). That’s not the site where I got the error, granted, but what happens when OpenSea (a central marketplace) removes your NFT?
> If we churned these things out like iPhones, they'd be damn cheap.

If an iphone had the potential to render a city/country/continent uninhabitable for decades, I'm willing to bet the FCC would have a bit more stringent approval process.
It is rather unusual for someone to be called out on their bullshit. I’ve been working for 25 years and only seen it happen a couple times. Most people are conflict avoidant, so the perpetually “blocked” individuals are allowed to stay that way. I know people who’ve essentially done no real work for years. Who’s the fool here? Those of us picking up all the slack.
If you were eating a large amount of protein it’s likely the diet you were following was probably not putting you into ketosis. It’s a common mistake (made it myself initially). The problem is that if your fat/protein ratios are off your body will convert the protein to glucose (via Gluconeogenesis) for energy and you generally will not achieve ketosis and become fat adapted.

If you looked at the 3000+ publicly traded US companies' price movements, you'd realize almost none of them grow. A small portion of the largest companies do, and even some of the biggest brands on Earth struggle to grow.

Big publishing houses like to throw the term "predatory journals" around a lot, but a look at their own publishing practices raises questions.

FSVO "all". Mine doesn't use it. If I have a task that needs elevated privileges, I run it from a terminal. Seems to work for me.
This is not at all surprising. The scholarship positing the opposite was a deviation from what has been the standard line of economic thought since more than a century ago.

Automation is the main cause of a 20 times growth in inflation-adjusted wages since 1820. Per capita GDP growth is mostly just labor saving innovation, which is primarily automation, and secondarily greater coordination, like division of labor and specialization, and that is mostly through trade.

Reusable does not mean cheap . Usually you want reusable to make it cheaper but not always.

For example your standard AA/AAA batteries are much cheaper if they are one time use than reusable [1]

Reuse may be desirable in a product for environmental impact, turn around time, security or many other concerns.

Shuttle was mostly reusable even the booster components , not cheaply but reusable nonetheless.

[1] it is a crude example, overall cost being more expensive, TCO per cycle will be cheaper for rechargable batteries
It's difficult to say without access to the counterfactual world where GPS was invented based on civilian microwave communication which itself would have evolved from civilian radio communication. We live in a world where the DoD redistributes money away from private industry and towards another sector of private industry, and it is hard to say what would happen if R&D tax laws were changed to move that money back from private military industry R&D to industry-industry R&D.
They only communicate through well-defined APIs, and there's a rule that cross-context API calls can only happen in the anti-corruption layer (we use a tool to check it at build time).

What I meant by intertwined (maybe a wrong word, I'm not a native speaker):

1) there's a lot of data/logic dependency between the contexts (i.e. a context in its operation depends on N other contexts), although we at least disallow circular references; it's unfortunately dictated by business rules and I'd like to see contexts to be more isolated and self-contained. Some can say that if a change in the requirements requires to change many contexts at once, maybe it's one fat context after all - and they may be right, but we enjoy the current modularization effort, one big fat module would be far less manageable for us.

2) there're occurrences of temporal coupling; there are synchronous operations that spawn several contexts, with a lot of data flowing back and forth

Now, it's easier to manage it in a monolith, in the same process, because:

1) there are no network trips back and forth in case of complex operations with a lot of data

2) no retry logic in case of network connectivity issues

3) DB connections/locks and other in-memory structures can be reused

4) same codebase, so easier to reason about

Microservices require more care and more complex solutions:

1) distributed transactions are hard

2) eventual consistency is hard

3) the idiom "DB per microservice" makes managing the infrastructure harder

4) deployment is harder (if you have changes in several related contexts, there's only 1 deployment in the monolith as opposed to N deployments of microservices)

5) you have to manage different codebases/repos, can't see the whole picture

6) you have to defend against network connectivity issues, microservice unavailability etc.

7) debugging is harder, you can't just step into another microservice like you do with in-memory modules

8) new devs need to be taught all that

The list can go on and on. So we don't try to make all our modules/contexts into microservices just because we like microservices, we have to substantiate a move to a microservice with proof that it will make development/scalability easier for us, and that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
2 hours of badgering can do that. He was badgered in an open office for 2 hours.

I think the gist of the story is that the manager tried to force the SRE to break the codebase by downgrading an open source library- something that isn't ever really done at Google.

I disagree, I saw a great many male students driving electric bikes back in 2020 (Hanoi, Da Nang, HCMC). I would say of the particular model of e-bike that I tended to notice (the often black or black&red ones with large footrest area), easily 20%-50% drivers were male. I think the reason it isn't more common yet is probably because of range.

Drug addiction leads to homelessness, as the addict's priority is always getting the drugs. Things like jobs, friends, family, sense, are all sacrificed for the drugs. Everything is sacrificed, and so they wind up on the street.

Treating a homeless drug addict as a victim of poverty is like giving cough medicine to a person with lung cancer. It does not work.
