To me, that perspective is sick and psychopathic.

There are a thousand ways to get kicks in life without directly endangering the lives of other human beings. Some people like skydiving and rock climbing. I like to do lots of drugs and have adventurous sex. But only a misanthrope or someone with acute mental illness would think risking the lives of strangers is worth a very mild thrill of driving kind of fast.

Diversity doesn't have anything to do with holistic costs. You shift between whether you're talking about holistic costs and whether you're talking about diversity depending on which part of the point you're making.

Does Elsevier really own Papers, Endnode, and Mendeley?

EDIT: no, it looks like Elsevier just owns Mendeley, which is what I was getting at. Uploading a bunch of papers to a company that's in a position to turn around and say "Those are some nice papers you uploaded to our servers, unfortunately they are evidence that you have fallen victim to piracy, now fork over $15k or we will be forced to proceed with a $15M lawsuit" just seems a bit reckless. Shrug.

I prefer Zotero, even though I would never even think of pirating a paper. Perish the thought!
Ok, but's what's the value proposition for a purchaser, compared to cheaper alternatives?
I had this situation back in the dot com crash.

I sold 2000 options in June. The following April I had to sell 15,000 to pay the taxes on the 2000. The following April I had to sell another 10,000 to pay the taxes on the 15,000.

If I had sold 20,000 instead of 2,000 and used that to pay taxes, I would have been in a far better financial situation.

Fortunately, I never went into the red, but I know people who did.
> I'd be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that if you were to ask 1,000 random software developers about Open Source, the OSI, and the OSD over half of them won't be able to give you a coherent answer on what these things are exactly.

How about if you pick 1000 random devs involved in licensing? I don't see that it matters what a random dev knows, so long as the group using the term knows and has a consistent definition.

To put another way, how many people actually know the precise definition of the term "organic" (as used in grocery stores)? Probably not that many, at best they have a vauge notion, and the term has much wider used historical definition than open spurce does. I would still say its morally wrong for a company to use an alternative "definition" to attract customers to their product. It would be false advertising in exactly the same way misusing open source would be, regardless of what their customer base knows about the details.

The notion of paying people to drive the speed limit (with money taken from speeding ticket fines) reminded me of the daycare late charge experiments. [1] These showed that when daycares started charging late fees to parents who were picking up kids late, parents became less timely. Apparently the fees transformed the transaction into a financial one, and parents felt that they could pick up later because they were paying for it.

I could imagine a similar thing happening with this type of financial system for drivers. People might drive slower sometimes, but figure it's OK to speed other times because the whole system is financially-mediated.

Yeah, more-and-more I am inclining building ML project for graph visualization.

I have worked on graph visualisation for some time, did https://github.com/nikolaydubina/jsonl-graph and https://github.com/nikolaydubina/go-graph-layout

Been studying research papers on graph visualization.

It looks like we need some Deep Learning / ML based approach to this.

There is just so much meaning is encoded into XY coordinates and edges. Basic algorithms like Sugiyama produce meaningful visualizations only for simple and basic graphs.

When number of edges goes to the roof or nodes.. basic algorithms break down. Graphs become meaningless.

You have to make graphs by hand to make sense of it.
I see, you can pass in a function that computes the length. I wonder if a declarative or formal solution will ever exist.

People need institutions to run functioning societies. These (public) institutions are one of the most traditional users of large-scale computing. Even in 60s there was a lot of computing done by public institutions. To fulfill the requirements of modern life, DCs are a must.

It reveals the fundamental security flaw that is the username/password system in general.
thank you for saying this. I'm always afraid to. revision control is a necessary safety net and facilitates discussion around changes (PRs). but people act as if the history is somehow _really really important_.

I've seen someone post on HN, apparently seriously, that the history is more important than the source.

I know a (potentially) really good developer that spends his time pulling in the recent patches and reorganizing them to make an alternate history that is prettier somehow.

sure, every once and a while it because useful/necessary to bisect, and a 'clean' history might help with that.

but seriously - why do we fetishize this? this is a medium where the amount of writing vastly outweighs the amount of reading.

when people are looking for a bug do they seriously find value in seeing how the code evolved? or do they just figure out why it doesn't work? is there an implicit assumption that the code all worked at some point and the task is to find out when/how it was broken?

just really confused
You speak as if no better system could ever be implemented so we should just throw our hands in the air. I thought these threads were full of engineers.

It's not! Zotero has a novel build system where instead of using XULRunner, which is no longer available, the build scripts download a release version of Firefox and then replace the browser-specific modules and other assets with Zotero's bundle.
> - Is the driver recognizable and is the owner?

Does it matter? Either the owner authorized the unsafe driver and can pay the fine or the car was stolen and the fine should be waived.

> - What is the penalty for non-payment?

The same as it is now for unpaid speeding tickets.

> - What if the driver obfuscates their license plate?

Then regular police cars that drive near them should notice this, pull them over and fine them.

That seems like a weird thing for a state to do.

Yes

> - What about military vehicles? Can they drive 90 mph with no blinker?

Probably not.

> - What if the car is registered with diplomatic immunity?

Then you issue a ticket and they don't pay it. See New York and UN parking tickets for an example.

> - What if the car is getting away from another car driving 90 mph with no blinker?

Then they both get tickets.

These questions all seem to think this is new, unreliable technology. Photo radar has existed and been used for decades.

Probably.

> - Can we trust those humans that audit the system?

Do you trust the humans issuing speeding tickets now?

Maybe you're right, maybe speed cameras aren't the solution. Maybe we should address it from the other direction — the cars themselves. Simply stop producing cars that can go faster than the legal limit.

> As far as I can tell, things are pretty good for the Intel/AMD duopoly.

This is no longer a duopoly. We have Apple Silicon and Windows on ARM has gotten new life. AMD and Intel don't have the x86 monopoly on the desktop and laptop market anymore.

I'm probably not the only person that switched to a MacBook in the last two years because their products are leagues above what AMD and Intel offer. This is the first Laptop I've had that's quiet, has 10+ hours battery life and doesn't lag.

Every Windows laptop I bought or tried in the last few years was a disappointment. They cost $ 2000 or more and feel slower than my old i7-3770k at home. They say they have improved battery life but in reality it's still only 4-6 hours if you are lucky (if you want M1 performance 2 hours...).

I agree this won't be the end of Intel or AMD and I think we have seen some progress in the last few years and I will be trying out the new AMD laptops in summer. But there is definitely a lot more competition today than in the last 20 - 30 years.

> Had we decided to adopt a different rule, arithmetic would still have worked, and we'd never have needed imaginary numbers.

As other sibling comments have said, what would your arithmetic look like that still worked, but with a different 'rule' (which is a rule just in the sense of a consequence of the axioms, not in the sense of an arbitrary choice)? If you wanted, for example, (3 + -2)(3 + -2) to equal (3)(3) + (3)(-2) + (-2)(3) + (-2)(-2), then you'd have a hard time getting that equality to hold.
What's the exact motivation for this.

In the UK, my satnav specifically tells me when I'm approaching a speed camera. I'm not sure why that's legal.
No need to be self-righteously snarky. The point you seem to have missed is that you seem to be totally unaware that the war has been "real and affecting real people" for 8 years now when the USA and it's western CIA lackeys completed their orchestrated "color revolution" to depose and install a puppet regime in the Ukraine that then started murdering people in the eastern provinces of ethnically Russian people who decided they don't want to be part of a western vassal state that hates them, abuses them, and discriminates against them.

The point being is that people are hypocritical, usually out of ignorance of what is really going on in the world outside of what the programming on the tele-screen has conditioned them to hate during hate week. (In case you did not catch it; those odd terms were references to themes of the shockingly prophetic seeming Orwell novel 1984.)
The ones I've seen (and reported, and sometimes seen again) as paid ads on Facebook are as obviously scammy as a Nigerian prince email. Fake news website with design ripped off real news website, implausible claims and business mogul celebrities whose non-endorsement of crypto is almost famous (fake endorsements so prominent there's mainstream news coverage of scam victims and disavowals of crypto on the celebrities' own websites and Facebook/Meta has even actually settled lawsuits from some of them!)

Nobody with the degree of digital literacy required to work for Meta has any excuse for approving many of the ones I've seen, and even the most basic keyword-based version of a spam filter could have caught many of them.
"Execution is making something."

So I guess for you that "something" has to be tangible.

How would you characterize a musical composition.. could that be art?

After all, a musical composition is nothing without being performed -- either on real instruments or in a sheet music reader's imagination. But that performance is not in the composition, so one could argue the composition itself has no execution and therefore by your definition of art a musical composition is modern art. Yet there are plenty of pre-modern compositions, arguably without execution either.
It was good depending on what sort of question you asked. I saw many technical answers related to general programming, computers, reinstalling Windows/Linux to dating 101 general advice, cheating and more, it was general so it was fun.

It was def geared towards a younger audience. I made many a friend from Answers onto Messenger/email penpal, it was a great funnel from one Yahoo service to another - back in the heyday Yahoo really was a walled garden that "didn't" feel like a walled garden, many services to tie you in the ecosystem but it didn't feel as insidious as adtech/google is today.

If anything, it was a great learning curve and introduction to General computing as you still had to be somewhat technical - flickr, know how to edit photos, metadata, and more. Geocities, html, css, design photos, psd html templates, etc.

The User Experience was quite the limitation, and I'm sure looking back via rose tinted glasses makes it seem glamours, but it's really something concerning when you remove all friction and barriers and allow Everyone to participate.

On StackOverflow, people are generally nice, but ask a very newb question and not with a mentor and you'll have a bad experience. The other fun one was Expert Sex Change, - no wait, Experts-Exchange. The later was great for technical questions if you knew to scroll down past the paywall.

tl;dr it was good in the beginning, around 2010-11 yahoo answers really went down, alongside most of Yahoo but was probably because it was so successful.
I see people doing that as well; most of the time what I see isn’t actually dangerous; it’s mildly annoying but objectively does not appear to be dangerous.
To be honest, I'd much rather more effort is spent on education around safe driving. Certain reckless drivers are always going to be reckless.

Australia has the approach of heavy fines for the slightest infractions. As in 3km/h over the speed limit and you can be fined and receive demerit points that affect your insurance. It just feels oppressive. It's terrible.
Why would it be difficult to create a different tarball for each download? You can just have a separately compressed section with the random ID that is replaced on-the-fly.

Non trivial but a couple hours of work to implement and test probably.
Agreed! I was describing cars that are exceeding the speed of other cars on a fairly busy freeway and not using turn signals while rapidly changing lanes. Something I have seen a lot in California specifically.

I've done plenty of multi-state drives on mostly-empty highways with cruise control set at 90mph. And I think most people would agree that speed limits on those roads should be raised.
"Addictive" is a word bandied about with abandon.

If these things are so addictive, are there withdrawal symptoms? When I'm off the intertoobs for a few days (travelling) I suffer no withdrawal symptoms and don't miss it.
I agree wholeheartedly. Spam (email, if that's the comparison here) can be sent by anyone to anyone. Advertising (and I can't believe this would need explaining, unless my understanding is ridiculously simplified) involves a business transaction between two parties:

Party #1: I want to run this ad on your network

Party #2: OK, pay me money and we'll run it

The party being paid (should - and this seems to be the crux of the issue at hand) be responsible for what they're serving up because otherwise they could be serving up viruses, malware, Russian propaganda, etc. The ad network (looking at your Google and Facebook) are the party serving the advertisement to the public; distributing the ad as software, handing out the flyers containing the message, whatever analogy you prefer.

I'm starting down the "should" slippery slope here: The ad network has (should have) a responsibility to both police the content for obvious malevolence and the ability to point to a legitimate, traceable Party #1 to hold legally responsible for the kind of content in question here.

What are the rules governing TV, radio, and print advertising?

Could a TV ad company get away with this same advert? If not, why is internet advertising held to a less stringent set of rules?

Could I pay Facebook to run an ad that's actually a recently released full length movie?

Separate topic: Do they wonder why ad-blocking is an increasingly popular practice?
A partial explanation for this is that Apple A* cores by volume overwhelmingly go into extremely battery constrained devices whereas for Intel its a plurality of their volume at most (and even then laptop use cases are less battery constrained than phones or tablets). Further, until very recently Intel had no reason to optimize for laptops because AMD was a non-factor and ARM based machines were only barely a thing.

Core design is astronomically expensive so given the opportunity to build only one core (or two in the case of big.little) it seems reasonable that Apple's perf/W would be superior since they have had a very pressing business need for it. Add on that they have so far been built on one to two nodes ahead.

The point being, I think if Intel still can't get close to Apple in 2-3 years then there is a bigger problem, but as of now I think there are still some reasonable explanations as to why their current products are behind that don't come down to technical inability.
Oh yes, a live gantt-like graph of everything ala lewis dartnell. Where's the kickstarter :)

> alternatives like fathom, Plausible, Matomo

I don't know why people classify fathom and Plausible in the same category as Google Analytics. There's a clear distinction between an analytics software and a counter.

Matomo has some features but I can never like it's cluttered interfaces that don't lead to immediate actionable intels.

PostHog is another alternative.
Maybe we should go back to the Hayes Code where movies removed all immoral content?
Aren't you warned in the US well before the camera's location?

In Sydney lots of people complain about the speed cameras but except for the mobile cameras, there are huge honking signs telling you there is a camera ahead. Most people will start to slow down well before the camera. On our highways we also have average speed cameras, 2 cameras will take a shot and if your average was too high, you get fined. But these are also well signed.

Yet people still get caught all the time. I'd have more sympathy for the people getting caught except that they are literally given a cheat sheet on the road for when to slow down and not get caught.
> Starting with “2 x 3 = 6” it is inevitable that you’d come up with “(-2) x (-3) = 6”.

To be clear (as you surely know but a reader might not), that's 'inevitable' in the sense of "a mathematical consequence", not 'inevitable' in the weaker human-events sense of "I can't imagine it winding up any other way". For one approach, 0 = (2 + (-2))3 = (2)(3) + (-2)(3) implies that (-2)(3) = -(2)(3); and then 0 = (-2)(3 + (-3)) = (-2)(3) = (-2)(-3) implies that (-2)(-3) = -(-2)(3) = (2)(3).
I did misattribute the quote, but fantastic job just ignoring my first statement.

And you clearly didn't read my last paragraph where I clearly stated why the US would be a part of the UN and not the ICC.

I think the main thing you got from law school was how to weasel out of prior statements.
Objectively speaking, driving is the most dangerous thing most of us will ever do in our lives. Though it is debatable which behaviors cause more injury and death, I would argue that any behavior that surprises other drivers is something we should work to deter. And we all know that the higher the speed, the greater risk of injury an death.
There's an explanation in the PEP (linked a couple times already).
(As an American,) I’m puzzled at the thought that that wouldn’t be legal. To me, that seems like it should be protected free speech.
They are publicly traded companies, mostly.
