We have laws concerning doctors, hospitals and codes of medical ethics that govern health care.

I am sure that there are cases where a hospital shutdown due to bankruptcy without transferring their patients but that is not the norm. We should hold other companies in this space to the same standard.

Edit:

federal and state laws. Maintenance of medical records is especially significant if the organization is defined as a Covered Entity 1 under HIPAA. Failure to maintain and protect medical records can lead to significant fines and penalties even during organization closings and bankruptcy proceedings.

What are the best alternatives aside from Amazon to buy PC hardware?
Can you link me to a source stating that photons moving at C does or does not experience time? I'm not a layman, give it to me straight. I'm happy to work through the math or whatever is needed. I'm asking because I'm very sure that you are wrong here and I would like to be convinced otherwise if possible.

The Minkowski metric ensures that photons moving at C can not experience local time.
More pluggable textareas. I'd like to be able to use more emacs controls on all systems and even Mac only supports the most basic ones. I can't do emacs text highlighting and so on.

My point isn't just about emacs but that there are powerful text editors like emacs with powerful keyboard shortcuts and I'd like to be able to have more of that in the browser while I'm editing emails and blog posts and whatnot.

Yes there's that one browser plugin that allows you to open an emacs window and it sends the result to the textarea but I don't consider that a good alternative at all.
I had a similar occurrence with Windows XP.

Two crashes a couple months apart led me to switching to Linux. I then read up on rsync and using hard links to make incremental snapshot backups. Coupled with doing this over ssh and now I had multiple automated backups.

As my laptop got older, it kept running fine b/c of Linux but I wanted a new laptop. My girlfriend at the time was using said laptop and drinking and said "Oh, do you want me to not drink over your laptop?"

I replied "that laptop has every bit of important data I need backed up in two different locations. Please spill whatever you want on it as that would give me a valid reason to go buy a new one."
> So unless a viable alternative is found the ethical (and probably environmental also) issues are pretty much the same as eating normal meat.

Like pretty much everything else pushed by the environmentalist community, it's more about signaling how much you care. Results don't mean shit.

If you want to see true environmentalism, the homesteading community does a great job. Massive focus on sustainability, reuse, local cradle-to-grave manufacturing, zero pollution, all the rest.

They do the work.

Contrast that to the "biofuels are evil" crowd, which has zero problem with intensive lithium strip-mining... as long as it happens somewhere else. Doesn't matter that their Teslas are effectively coal-fired, because they have fought nuclear power for decades. Lifestyles that are wholly unsustainable without de facto slave labor. And let's not even get started with the "recycling" that was, in reality, just shipping trash to foreign landfills.

The credibility level of the environmental movement is well into negative numbers from where I sit.
It's sad that "at scale" has become synonymous with "without human oversight". It used to be that businesses tried to scale up while providing a level of support for their customers that showed they were valued. As a user today it is so hard to get bug reports directed to someone that can effect change in the right part of the system. As a software developer, I absolutely love getting bug reports for something I can fix, and I know how to file a good bug report. I see this universally across virtually every online product I interact with, from online accounting software to online mapping products and various large tech company's email services. I'm a powerless, unimportant user, not worth listening to because my statistics are not those generated by millions of other people.
SSG gives you the best SEO because web crawlers can understand the structure of a static page with pre-populated content better than a dynamic site that relies on Javascript. The pages also load much quicker and score better on other metrics that Google uses. I would go so far as to say that SSG is a must for major publications or anyone serious about SEO. This sort of data-driven SSG is exactly what you are thinking of but it happens at build time so that the build output is static content that can be put behind a CDN.
In a libertarian view, you aren't allowed to use anyone else's property, including to dump toxic chemicals. With strong property rights, they would be forced by the courts to completely make people whole.

In our system, the EPA allows companies to pollute your land, water, and air... so long as they don't do it too much or they bribe the officials enough.
They should be forced to fund a trust that can support all users for their lifetime.
Being backed by YC is one of the best indicators that a startup will succeed. I’d advise almost anyone doing a startup to seek funding from YC.

I tend to get pretty cranky (as you can see) about the old-boys network that’s emerged around it, but that in no way diminishes the value to a founder of being in that network.
It's sort of astounding that so much work has to be done to even get testing done. If it was well known that PFAS chemicals were used, surely testing would be prudent rather than just taking the word of the company (even if their claims that there were no spills in good faith and they weren't aware of contamination). Is testing really that costly?

> For every ex-company town that succeeds in this kind of recognition, there are ten others (usually, but not always, poorer and not as white) that are quietly suffering from externalized pollution.

This caught my eye. What's the evidence for this? Are you saying non-white people are less likely to engage in this type of civic action for some reason?
I don’t think it’s necessarily Google search that has gotten worse. It’s just that the internet has gone bad, and is filled with low quality garbage.
How on earth do you mismanage a company so badly that you can literally give sight to the blind and still go bankrupt? Even at a $500k treatment there should be more than enough aging millionaires willing to buy their way out of their own body's infallibilities
Depending on airport is so true.

I had a work trip where a coworker was wearing a t-shirt that had a design of a bunch of words in the shape of two revolvers with their barrels crossed. It was a same day round trip, so he received "random" special attention on both legs.

On a different trip, the person sitting next to me told me his story of how the belt he was wearing that had bullet casings (don't know what caliber) that were cut in half and punched into the leather as a design. TSA flagged him, airport police took him into custody, later to be remanded to the sheriff. He spent overnight in sheriff's lockup, brought back to the airport after arraignment, and then told to not ever wear that belt to an aiport again.

Because of these stories, my expectations of having anything firearm related going through an airport as nightmarish. Then you hear of people getting full handguns past TSA. So I don't know what to think honestly
On the spectrum I think. He really has minimal EQ.

It's true that a zero mass neutrino would travel at c (just like any massless particle). But neutrino oscillations are not decays. It's more that the neutrino propagates as a mixture of eigenstates. There's nothing stopping one of these eigenstates from having zero mass (as far as we know).

As an analogy, you could think of a photon with circular polarization traveling through a vacuum. If you measured its linear polarization you would sometimes find that it is up-down and other times left-right. The photon is massless but is still able to oscillate between these two linear polarizations because it is propagating with a mixture of these two polarizations.

I have used airflow with two different organizations over the past couple years. When we had a complex orchestration with critical pipelines and enough human-power to manage the system, it was great. Trying to deploy it for a small team with no critical pipelines has been overkill and we recently migrated to dagster which is still in beta but accomplishes 90% of what airflow does with a much smaller footprint.
They didn't claim causation, they were just pointing out the correlation.
Yeah, while I hated so many designs, it was still great to see see what people were coming up with and the content wasn't posted for "likes" or fakes internet points. It was just stuff people wanted to share. There was also a lot of copying in those days. People would find a cool gif or background image on one site and add it to their own sites. There were all kinds of layouts too. The entire web felt very collaborative and experimental before everyone got corralled into corporate controlled templates and DMCA notices started flying around everywhere.

I read this, and it is a good argument but should this also apply to founders?

If you make $50m say in an exit will you take $50m minus what you sacrificed in salary terms for being a founder and give it away. Lets say $49m you give away.

Then it would be fair because you have then earned the same as the location based earnings the employees get.

Also, it makes sense that in a company that rewards employees financially for living in high COL locations, that Goodharts law applies and you get most employees living in high COL where possibly they make money through real estate acquisition made possible by the higher salaries etc. as well as nice disposable income for investment / 401k etc.
There must be a difference between paying for the infrastructure and paying for the content (including the code).

It's easy to imagine a future where the infrastructure is something analogous to a public good, like clean water. The infrastructure is agnostic to the content.

The content, on the other hand, is a product of a massive, churning, never-ending process of intellectual work. Ads, for the most part, provide the underlying economic incentive for that work.

And the dirty little secret of all that ad-supported creative content? Its value is minimal. Truly minimal. Often low quality, incoherent. If it all went away tomorrow, I would hardly notice.

That it is nevertheless so popular is something of a paradox. I know I sound ridiculous, but at the core, I'm beginning to believe that the fact that advertising is as powerful an economic force as it is, is a reflection of the fact that people's lives are more boring and devoid of meaning than we often admit.
There is boustrophedonic ancient Greek and other languages. Unicode is kept generalized to support such schemes.

Netflix really doesn't need to produce something like the wire or mad men or breaking bad. There's no reason to make a show that appeals strongly to 70% of the market when they could make 70 shows that 1% of the market is fanatical about. They don't have only one channel that competes for content and they don't seem budget limited.

Ironically, it seems like AmazonPrime is far better at that.

As for then top ten being bottom barrel stuff, I think you overestimate how popular mad men was vs. something like king of queens.

I will say, Netflix seems to fail in many cases, and I don't understand how they think content discovery is supposed to work.
Might be interesting to test how plausible that is. How likely is it that a human doesn’t see the artifacts but they are leading enough info to reconstruct the underlying data.
How much do you reckon that would cost per user?
This is why we moved to airflow vs lots of Cron jobs. Centralized place to look, logging, etc.

Strong regulatory action that shutters most or all "legitimate" fiat offramps.

I suspect the vast majority of players, even in a criminal marketplace, are seeking cryptocurrency with the intent of cashing it our to fiat, or trading with someone who-- after possibly more exchanges-- cashes out to fiat.

Close the offranps, and the supply chains dry up.
Yes, but wikipedia provides zero evidence for the number. If you follow the link (7), you'll see they only talk about the EROI for oil and gas. The claim about the 1.5:1 EROI for ethanol is unsubstantiated. In any case, my back of the envelope was 1.67:1, which is not that far. Saying that 1.5:1, or even 1.67:1 is pathetic is one thing, saying that you put more energy into getting ethanol than you get out is still quite the wrong.
Fair enough. I was more interested in identifying other ways of technically achieving the goal of local storage than solving the authors complaint.
1) Find what their customers are complaining about on their forums, blogs, and social media.

2) Fix those problems. Tell the VCs you're better because you have fixed these problem.

I don't mean bug fixes, I mean conceptual problems, fwiw.
Thanks for posting this. As a software developer, I've received many huge repros from customers that have taken me countless hours to whittle down to a few lines. When I have to send a repro to a developer on another team, I work hard to make it minimal.
I really hope Apple does a refresh of the current ipod touch before they kill the line. Yeah theres all the stuff about screentime and kids etc. but sometimes we are stuck in a horrible waiting room like a hospital ER and you jsut want them to be able to occupy themselves without it having to be an educational experience of some kind (just like the rest of us).

Can even use it for facetime and so only contacts in the devices are grandparents and us.

The iPod touch is so good for that, but worried theyre going to kill it off...

Right, but sadly AMD Ryzen Pro aren't sold directly to consumers (well unless you buy grey market on ebay), even if they did there's no such thing as a Ryzen Pro motherboard, or a Ryzen Pro BIOS. Not to mention AMD has been slow to upstream various EDAC related kernel patches.

It's not really a supported config, there's no guarantee it will work, no promise from AMD (other than it's not disabled), and you can't return a Ryzen CPU because the ECC doesn't work.

Various tests from various reddit posts show that some vendors "qualify" ECC dimms as working (an inserted Dimm increases ram available), some correct bits but don't correctly tell the kernel, and others actually do correct and report. So it's basically just a big mess. I'd buy an Epyc, but sadly unlike Intel the premium for a "server" chip is huge, if you can find them anywhere near MSRP. I looked for a Epyc 7313p near MRSP (announced in March 2021) without luck and finally gave up and bought a Ryzen.

With all that said, ASRock is from what I can tell the best AMD motherboard company to support ECC with AMD. I've got a ASRock X570D4U, other than it refusing to allow sharing a IPMI/BMC interface with the system, I'm pretty happy with it.
I find a lot of the meat substitutes to be delicious but to me the problem is the nutritional content. A Beyond patty is a great substitute for a greasy hamburger. But There’s nothing that I’m aware that can substitute for lean meat like chicken or fish.

This is true, but I think the main concern is that Google appears to be asleep at the wheel.

Will Google combat the low quality internet? If not, search will continue to degrade, so what alternatives exist? That's the thrust of this surprisingly vehement discussion.
I don't think companies should be allowed to sell products like this (requires invasive surgery, long term maintenance, more invasive surgery if something goes wrong) directly to patients.

They need to sell to the government/health insurance companies, and provide all the tools/training/equipment for those organizations to do the long term support for patients.

Aside from prioritizing Ads, I actually think the root of the problem is sort of the opposite: information has simply gone from scarce to too abundant. Finding information you need is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. To solve this problem, search engines like google search came into being. Initially, having multiple search engines caused a problem in itself: if you have 700 search engines, which search engine do you use? So the industry naturally ended up coalecesing into a near monopoly, as having 1 (or a few) engine(s) to use is simpler than having 700. However, the root of the problem is still growing. Now it's not so much as "which search engine to use?" but more: "what's the precise combination of text to feed the search engine needed to find my needle?" And as more information gets created, the problem just gets worse: your information gets drowned in the sea of other information and thus gets harder to search for...

Amusingly, appending "reddit" to your search is like a pseudo search engine in itself, instructing the search engine to act as a search engine of only a specific domain of information. Almost like we're back to having multiple search engines, and no one knows which one to use...
Google Rep: "You said in the post that quotes don't give exact matches. They really do. Honest.

Me: Google for "quotes don't give":

Top result, does not contain the given phrase

Second result, does not contain that phrase

This is literally the first thing I tried and I did a view source to be sure. They are lying to us and/or themselves.

Looking at the result, I would say 1/2 the results don't include that phrase including results for products on Amazon.

Clearly Search does not work they way this Google Rep believes it to work.
I've said before that I think it should be illegal to sunset a device without open-sourcing the technology needed to support it. Medical implants of any kind are an especially compelling case for this

Probably medical devices should also have very strict requirements regarding auto-updates, including provisions that prevent them from being remotely disabled

This seems like a problem we can't solve without legislation. We need either these sorts of legal requirements for implantable devices, or to blanket ban private firms from working in this space. I think the former would be preferable

I see troll flagged & dead comments all the time, just like I see flagged & dead spam. Normal users will never see the stuff, and it dies within minutes - the 'showdead' feature has been put in there to keep everyone honest about how the site is being run, not specifically to give exposure to whatever kind of awful comments. So it seems that we just disagree about whether trolls posting their intentionally provocative crap here tells us anything worthwhile about the actual HN userbase.
My opinion of the US CSA drug laws is similar. Its illegal for someone to possess a substance, because the government wants to protect people from their own bad choices? How entirely absurd. We don't have true freedom if we don't have bodily autonomy.
Unless it's changed in the past 56 minutes, the SERP is pretty up-front that it can't find any pages with all three of those.

It literally says `No results found for "kitchen boss" "g320" "disassembly".` right at the top, and then shows you the (properly explained) results for the non-quoted version of the query.
Okay, sure, but I don't see how this relates to the fact there was never consensus or broad agreement on Bitcoin in the tech community in general?
The title of the page is "u202e at DuckDuckGo" which doesn't even have any funky unicode in it.

No, sorry that I was unclear. My point was that it's my belief that those of us employed at that time did not see value in bitcoin, so we had no motivation to steal bitcoin that would be a small fraction of what we were getting paid.

Now if $some_duder_was_really_into_bitcoin was also on the staff at the time, then sure, maybe they would risk their job to steal some bitcoin because they thought it was cool to do hax0r things with cyberpunk money. I'm not aware of that person existing.
The criminal buyers' plan is to buy bitcoin, maybe shuffle it around a bit to hide their tracks, and sell it as soon as they can. They don't want crypto, they want cash, and they need buyers to get that cash. That goes for everyone, in fact. The only way criminals are different is that they don't want higher prices, they want high volume, so they can sell it fast without losing too much.

A unit of cryptocurrency is a nothing. If you never sell it, it's useless and worthless. Everyone buying crypto is planning to sell all of it. They always need more and more buyers to keep driving the demand up, to in turn keep driving the price up. Eventually, there'll be a time when there are too many sellers and not enough buyers. Maybe a major recession hits and people decide it's a good time to cash out/bad time to make risky investments. Maybe regulation starts scaring people away. Maybe mainstream news coverage turns hostile. Regardless of which, people rush to sell, and as the buyers dry up, they start taking whatever price they can get. The price plummets. Sell orders accelerate. Line goes down. Pop. Then, stories of people losing everything circulate widely, cementing its reputation as worthless and scaring off any speculative buyers forever after. Just like Beanie Babies.

Just like Beanie Babies, there'll probably be some buyers and sellers forever. Just not at a high enough volume to make it worth a criminal's time.
A fairly large amount, even for minimal support. If it's prohibitive to create cool medical devices due to this, the government can assist (guaranteed loans against future profit? whatever, I'm sure there's a bunch of ways to structure it).

Maybe it will push these companies to make support easier as well, and Open Source parts of it where it makes sense to.
