I think “everyone learns differently” is an overblown claim and gets repeated ad-nauseum. It is an escape hatch to avoid deeper discussions of successful strategies, what it means to teach and learn. A sort of a deus-ex-machina of arguments. There are more universals about learning than differences. It effectively surrenders the failure of teaching to “Well, it must be because everyone learns differently”. This way, we can never learn to teach or even debate about it.

This is actually a failure of discourse in many areas of life – "X is hard to solve or haven't thought about it, so it must be that X is different for everyone". Nutrition, Product Reviews, etc. I've learned over years that anyone that claims "X is different for everyone" is most likely exhibiting a defeatist attitude.
shouldn't they be taxing gas more? As it's one of the main source of CO2 emissions? I am not even counting: deaths by cars (most common cause of death for those under 25), living with disabilities from cars, deaths and illness from car pollution, noise pollution, cost of cars infrastructure, cost of building cities for cars increasing distance in the cities / suburbs, time wasted in traffic jams caused by cars, cost of not walking and driving everywhere which increases obesity rates, cost of car ownership?

It's a 6-issue design supposedly, so it should be about as wide as the ARM X1/X2 chips. If they open source this design, it could be very interesting for ARM moving forward.
> I helped the fat cats get a little fatter.

I think that is just the way of the world, especially in America. Even though I have worked in fields that produce a more "tangible" product, I can't say that I have contributed or helped much of anything. And now I'm in my 30s without an education and I only have experience doing things that I never want to do again.

Bosses are always terrible, but it's a little different when your life is literally at stake. I've had "old school" foremen who want to sit and call you a pu$$y because you don't want to stand (without a harness) on a flimsy piece of wood over a six story shaft, cutting and then brazing 8" copper pipe. It's also harder when you don't have dedicated recruiting networks and the ability to WFH like many do in tech/SWE.

(Just my perspective! I appreciate the discussion.)
Whatever you can say of his prescriptions, many of his descriptions and diagnoses are relevant.
First problem with taxing is that it takes money without consent and with force, aka theft. But that aside, do you want to get your favorite monopoly hooked on and addicted to the money taken from people’s activities that are harming themselves or others?
To be honest I didn't see where the author was and wanted to provide a detailed example (I'm in the UK, but could post similar case results here, but this site has lots of US readers so thought that would clarify the legality for most people)

The main reason for the post is that your original post which implied that just because it didn't host the copyrighted content itself made it OK from a legal perspective - this is probably untrue.

One similar ruling for the ECJ is below, which again demonstrates that this would likely be illegal in Croatia:

https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2016/06/article_0007.h...

As a further note, not only is the application itself probably illegal to develop / release, it is almost certainly illegal to use. It's unlikely to be the subject of enforcement action though for the users (Although I would be surprised if Viacom was cool with this).
I agree that at the moment it's probably not all that sophisticated, but with the incredible trackability of most crypto I don't hold much hope that there won't be mandatory blacklisting of "dirty" coins. I could easily see a couple of SAAS providers providing "AML compliance as a service" for various blockchains.

So the company should have let the error pass and not answer with additional legal threats?

Or should Doctorow just ignored the not so thinly veiled (and wrongly made) threats.

Should a journalist not call into question wrong conduct by a company?

I've had pretty limited experience using CP/M - I think the last time I actually played with it was in the early 90s when some old guy I knew was still using it to run a BBS. As far as I recall it was just as atrocious as DOS and other things of that era, at least from a UX point of view. DOS's int 21h API is a close cousin of the system library in CP/M, so I'd expect the developer experience to be kind of similar. Is there something specific you think CP/M was doing better?
My recollection of SO_REUSEPORT behavior is that it will deliver a datagram to one listener, rather than all of them. The kernel will distribute datagrams fairly between listeners over time, so none are starved. This makes it super easy to share load over multiple servers, but doesn't get the same datagram to multiple listeners.

This seems to confirm: https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/

Maybe the exact behavior varies by platform. I've never used it on Windows.
I've long suspected that with very powerful microphones we might be able to hear all sorts of fascinating sounds from tiny sources of life, from insects on down.

I'm aware of some contact microphone recordings of ants, such as [1] and [2], but I'm talking about much more sensitive recordings.. for example, what is the sound of an ant's leg moving (not just its footstep).. or the sound of its internal organs? What does insect sex or feeding sound like? There are many thousands of different insect species, and each of them could sound different.

Just like electron microscopes have given us amazing views of insects that were unavailable to use through the naked eye, I suspect the soundscape on the microscopic level could be just as fascinating.

Musicians could also use it as raw material, and process it to make it even more interesting. The sky is the limit.

You're not responding on-topic. People can still smoke, their "freedom to poison themselves" is fully intact. Ironically, stopping advertisements for cigarettes would give the consumer more freedom of choice free from corporate influence.

Less people smoking means less second-hand smoke. Also just fyi smoke residue clings to interiors so when things get sold the new owner inherits a gross smell and some carcinogenic exposure :)

It's not just people blowing smoke in your face outdoors
Why don’t they get jobs at FAANG then?
I'm careful to separate the design of how a thing works (theory of operation) vs the structure of its implementation. Of course there are parallels, but I would treat the latter more coarsely and malleable.

Give importance to the shapes/interconnectedness of the data and the processing/flow. Avoid focusing on code structure except in broad terms and don't make abstractions up-front. Prefer flatter call hierarchies (or loosely-coupled objects), avoid early/superficial 'refactoring' unless certain that it's a one-time, one-way meaningful factoring.
We can only guess, but perhaps they've applied some sort of commonality filter and dropped words that are rarely used? Or perhaps they've simply moved more words from the guess list into the challenge list? (the challenge list was produced from what words one person immediately recognised, after all)

Or, most likely IMO, they were not 100% certain they could legally use the existing word list (now, or for what they plan for the future) or were certain they couldn't without paying for some sort of license, so they produced a new list from scratch from a source they have licensed for their other word games.
I’ve heard Google considers (considered?) their infrastructure prowess as a secret sauce. Could it be that they didn’t want anyone else to benefit from it?

They had years of headstart on most infrastructure technology that’s ubiquitous now, but didn’t bother to offer it to others. Perhaps they thought only Google should benefit from it, while Amazon saw a business opportunity with AWS.
> This is just saying “that’s what you get for playing with crypto you degenerate”.

No, it isn't. It's a reminder that we have all of this financial structure for a reason. The person you're responding to didn't make any light of the potential victim or call them a degenerate.

In traditional finance, you (Joe Shmoe) can't just wire someone ~100M USD, regardless of jurisdiction. There are controls, most of which have been written in blood or tears. Cryptocurrencies will also grow those controls, and we will all rightly question its value when it inevitably does.
“Crusades” against malicious actors are arguably warranted (depending on your mental model and belief system); that’s a bit of a loaded term though. Properly framed, it’s vigilant accountability of bad actors. Otherwise, these actors inflict emotional/financial pain and suffering on the unsophisticated or those unequipped to defend themselves for profit and/or power. I won’t enumerate the examples here; they are numerous and readily available for studying.

Higher level, malicious actors don’t hold themselves accountable. Perhaps there are so many “Big” issues because of those taking advantage of dysfunctional systems.

> Yes, it does. Crypto isn't a regulated market. As long as the scam stays inside crypto land, it is totally legal. As far as the SEC and CFTC are concerned, you're playing a game with Monopoly money.

That's your opinion. I would be more interested in the opinion of a judge. If you can demonstrate that monopoly money has some kind of market value, and someone else steals it from you, then that's a crime. There is no legal precedent set that fraud is okay as long as it involves cryptocurrency.

> Elon Musk can and has openly run crypto "pump and dump" scams that would be blatantly illegal in any regulated market. The only response from the CFTC was a warning to consumers.

The CFTC is a mess, so just because they aren't successfully helping prosecute a specific case doesn't mean everything that was done was legal.

> The only way to maintain a firm 1 USD peg that everyone (even you) knows is a fraud is through collusion.

They don't maintain a firm peg. Tether trades on exchanges at market value, just like any other cryptocurrency.

Also, I find your "even you" comment to be a strange personal attack. Are you trying to say that I'm stupid?
You're mixing up reversible transactions and court system. If someone defrauds you in an irreversible transaction, you can still sue that person for damages if you know who they are. Similarly if someone defrauds you in reversible transactions, you can't just wave a wand and get your money back. You can sue them if you know who they are, or you can request a reversal from your bank/cc provider (may or may not be honored) but you're not completely safe. Most fraud happens in fiat and there are real victims out here.

>And then what's the point of all the decentralization ideology? Because we just re-invented banks.

There's nothing wrong with centralized services built on a decentralized network. Take a look at the web. Sure you can use a centralized service like facebook to make a facebook page, but if you want you can host your own website.
State-issued debt from eurozone countries or the US is essentially risk-free. Any of them defaulting would mean they effectively stopped to print cash, at which point one should probably start growing their own chickens.
I guess it's paying Apple or some other monopolist for the music that I really can't stand. I buy vinyl albums, though obviously not for everything I download. And I get some things on Band Camp, because you actually just get the music. But I feel you.
I don’t think any part of the financial system, conventional or crypto is immune from shady dealings.

But everyone who didn’t just fall off a truck knows Tether is capitalized at maybe 30%, and there’s a lot of mediocre commercial paper in the assets it does hold.

USDC and Tether are completely different asset classes.

USDT is casino chips you have to buy to play the low-cap alt-coin slot machine. USDC has a de facto address within reach of the FBI.

It talks about mapping a port (and ip address, and protocol) to a process, but on Linux (and I think other unixes as well) that isn't quite accurate. It maps to a file descriptor, and that file descriptor can potentially be share with other processes (for example by forking, or passing it over a unix domain socket). One common way this is used is to pass a socket file descriptor from the old process to the new process when restarting a service.

You mean free to be advertised to by multibillion non-governmental organizations?

They can still smoke when they reach legal age. But I guess you're right, freedom to do anything without consequences is the only standard. We should let people sell and market heroin to 7 year olds if it turns a profit, even if they choose to do things that harm themselves they fully came to that decision alone and 100% understand all of the consequences without a developed prefrontal cortex

Or maybe some choices should carry consequences? You can't have both

I have done multiple clawbacks via payment processors. In each case, I escalated (vendor -> processor -> my bank -> CFPB) until the dispute was resolved to my satisfaction.

In nearly all cases, no separate restitution was required: the processor or my bank was able to reverse or halt the ACH transaction before the money settled. In the handful of cases where settlement had already happened, they were able to countermand the transaction.

It's true that it won't make the managing organization less corrupt - it will make them nonexistent. That's the idea behind decentralized decision-making. The people running the database don't have to have the power to change it or bend the rules: that's what this whole crypto thing is about.
When I was a kid in California, I came across a vibrant ant colony in a rock, a piece of fractured shale. There were so many ants swarming around the entrance that you could hear their susurration a good twenty feet (6m) away.
One can basically get beer and wine at the age of 16. And when I was at that age, there were many clubs you could get into with color coded wristbands telling the bartenders what they can serve you. But as far as I know, the clubs themselves have since raised the age limits.

It is certainly hypercritical to praise alcoholic drinks and demonize other drugs, but alcohol is quite a big part of Swiss culture. Not just getting wasted, but having a beer or glass of wine with a meal or at social gatherings to specific things like the cherry brandy with Fondue. It's a fringe view in the country, that a 16 year old is not adult enough to have any alcohol. I reckon you'd find more people agreeing with lowering that age rather than increasing.

Personally, I think it is good, that one can have experiences with alcohol, before reaching full adulthood rights and responsibilities. E.g. being allowed to drive a car.

It would take a lot for me to agree that market solutions optimize for just outcomes. Effecient outcomes, sure, but not just outcomes. And before Winston Churchill quotes get involved, no, absence of alternatives are not a valid justification for existence.
I have avoided all security cameras for the past couple of decades, because I do not trust the vendors that produce closed source implementations. They either cannot be trusted directly (because they use the cloud) or cannot produce up-to-date firmware for the lifetime of the camera (putting them at risk of hacking or becoming e-waste).

So HN, what are the best options for COTS open source cameras? Ideally, I want hardware as open as a RPi with software that has either zero or on-site cloud connectivity. Bonus points for being able to add a solar/battery system to run for weeks at a time and easy-to-deploy mesh network that allows me to daisy chain these deep into my forest and fields.

I have been lusting for this system for years, but it does not seem to exist.

She does study social structure. That's what being an anthropologist means. Have you read anything Wright's written? I couldn't find anything recent that could remotely be described as "finding ways to bring in as many points of gender politics". The books she edited in the 90s about studying gender in archaeology focus on the subject out of necessity.

If all you're going on is TFA, you might have missed the context that it's a pop history interview by a writer at Atlas Obscura who focuses on historical women. It's not the entirety of Wright's area of study.

Save as ebook extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/saveasebook/), everything goes in a folder managed by syncthing so I have it on my smartphone as well.

On the scale of years, products fail, get bought, are unmaintained, become too expensive, etc... An export of your database is always a hassle to manage, and you must hope there will be an importer for the next product that will also fail a few years down the road.

On the other hand, files have always been there and will always be there. Epub is a standard-enough format that will live. The highest piece of complexity is syncthing, which can be easily replaced the day it doesn't work anymore. Bonus: I have all my data offline so I don't need connectivity, and I lower my environmental impact.

For a couple of years I worked at a rental shop at night and on weekends after my full-time IT job. It was the best thing ever because I got the feeling of actually getting something done, even if it was repetitive work. Not using my brain and not worrying about anything was nice.

I also temporarily quit my IT job because I felt burned, got a job cleaning floors and washing clothes. Again I loved the work.

If it weren't for the pay I wouldn't work in this field. I'm hoping to quit for good in a few years, switching careers doesn't make much sense at this point.
