Afaik there is already a fundamental difference to how the US and EU approach that.

In the EU new products need to follow the precautionary principle [0] and proof that their product is safe for consumers, before being allowed to be sold on the market.

While in the US the product is assumed to be benign until evidence to the contrary surfaces, which is then usually solved trough civil law suits suing the company using something that is discovered to be nasty.

> Do you have proof that they are "in the process of leaving twitter"?

The point being here, that you are being pedantic, and borderline bad faith.

It is perfectly reasonable for someone to say "Hey, there is this person who is leaving twitter", in reference to a post of them saying that they are doing that.

And you are coming in, saying "Well, actually! Technically speaking, I don't see a deleted twitter account yet, therefore by the laws of debate land, you are wrong!" just comes off as you being a pedantic idiot.

The original interpretation, is a reasonable one, for regular human beings to reasonable agree is mostly true. And pedantic "well actually" people, like yourself, are contributing nothing to the conversation, and just trying to get a 1 off, bad faith gotcha on a technicality.

Stop. Nobody likes you when you do that, and nobody is fooled by your behavior.

It's fuzzy rather than arbitrary, because the universe resists categorization. Australia is the dominant landmass on its tectonic plate, and it's relatively far away from other major landmasses. Greenland is a lesser landmass on the North American Plate, and it's much closer to the mainland.

Europe, Asia, and Africa are names people gave to the major regions surrounding the Mediterranean long ago. Later generations generalized the idea. First by using the same names for lands far behind the Europe, Asia, and Africa they were familiar with, and later by giving new names to separate landmasses. Whatever a continent is, Europe, Asia, and Africa are continents.

The main difference between a sea and a lake is that a sea is a part of the ocean. The Black Sea and the Baltic Sea are seas, while the Caspian Sea and the Great Lakes are lakes. The Caribbean Sea and the Sargasso Sea have names because people needed names for those regions. And because they consist of water connected to the ocean, calling them seas seemed appropriate.
> A blockchain […] allows multiple entities (i.e. computers) to collaborate and do computations without needing to trust in either a central authority or in each other

This article seems incorrect from the very first paragraph. Bitcoin, the blockchain figurehead, has needed trust in central authority many times, from 2010 when Satoshi was around [0] to 2013 [1] and beyond. The problem with blockchain as it’s expressed in this article is that it incorrectly describes the system boundary at the software level, where in reality the human layer is very much part of the protocol, especially when it is unclear which chain should be followed (see both citations) due to unexpected software behavior. The “human judge” or “trusted central authority” is part of the blockchain system to ensure its smooth and continuous operation. Without this, the blockchain would devolve into a confused mess, as parties disagree on what is a bug and what isn’t, and what is the “best chain” (regardless of its length). Bitcoin history is filled with these confusing events, and centralized parties always publicly clarify what is Bitcoin and what isn’t, and the rest of the users follow along.

Of course, if blockchain software were written perfectly from day 0 and didn’t need any further development, then you could always follow the longest chain “trustlessly”, but the problem is perfect software is impossible. As soon as the code does the tiniest thing that many users say is unexpected, you have a problem that demands centralized intervention.

I doubt any of them made any significant money off of the GNOME stack, defending it would be pretty... odd. If someone litigated the OpenSearch, Yarn or Homebrew devs, then yeah, I think it would be reasonable to expect Big Tech to step in. But why GNOME? They've long gone their own way, even making a big deal of their "my way or the highway" development stance. If I was $(MULTIMILLIONAIRE_CORP) I would probably just be laughing, so long as my name wasn't Red Hat.

Come to think of it, why didn't Red Hat step in here? Afaik, their entire raison d'être is keeping lawyers on retainer for these express purposes. Have the GNOME maintainers really burned that many bridges?

I see your point, but I look at the houses going up all around me and their prices, and I wonder where folks are getting this money from. I know what I do for a living and how well it pays, but people who make less than half of my salary are buying homes that are twice as expensive. Also, talking to realtors they mention that homes are sometimes sold before they hit sites like Zillow and such. Sight-unseen, waived inspections, $20K over asking. This can't be sustainable.

You are, of course, free to assign any motivation to me that you like.

However I am on the older side and the only times I ever heard "girl" used were as a pronoun for a younger person or as a diminutive for a person seen as lesser than the speaker.

For example, my older family members would refer to "the typing pool girls" or "the makeup counter girl" or, by comparison, "the woman at the county clerk's office."

So it is a bit astounding to me, especially now, to hear someone casually refer to someone who is providing a professional service to them as a "girl."

> If someone doesn't like what Musk is hinting towards, this is the last space they would be interested in joining.

But they should be. "People" can have lots of reasons for wanting to leave twitter with Musk at its head - including but not limited to having a loose canon billionaire have control what can and cannot be said. On the fediverse, there's a lot more freedom. With this freedom comes people you'll agree with and those you won't.
Curious what does that mean? "running" it's automated/bought or you just search time to time?
Oxygen meets this definition, and is toxic to humans in high enough concentrations.
The last answer on the Stroop test video (very bottom of the page) is interesting. The system is asked how humans perform on the test, and (kinda correctly) replies that they are slower "when the color of the word and the color of the word are different". It fumbles the wording a bit, but if we're being generous you can project it to the right answer. But then it's asked "How about you?", to which it replies, "I am not affected by this difference". That's accurate - model inference would take the same amount of time regardless. If taken at face value, this would be "unbelievable". There's clearly no mechanism by which the model could perform this sort of introspection to understand its own abilities.

Of course, it's not actually performing introspection, and it's just lucky that it guessed the right answer here. Perhaps it's just learned that when conversations discuss a general case (how do humans perform) and then turn to a specific case (how about you?), there is typically some difference between the two that should be noted. But it still gives an illusion of an unbelievable capability.
The key metric is homes where people want to live, not extant homes, which might be in various parts of repair.

Of course, the housing crisis is death by a thousand different cuts, but there are studies out there indicating in many cities AirBnB is responsible for around ~5% of the rental price.

For my apartment, that translates to paying ~$180/mo because of the induced demand from AirBnB.

I’d imagine mobile ISPs make up a large part of this. Their shitty plans are crafted in such a way to make it pointless for a family to each have their own line on their own account.

I’m traveling for work more often and got an ATT sim to use as a backup to my family’s Verizon plan, and I pay almost $90 for a single line when our Verizon bill for 6 lines is $300ish.

Large city massive: Disney's property in Florida is roughly the same size as the city of San Francisco, though the vast majority of it is undeveloped.

> The government can take the district back but now they are on the hook for providing services

Yes, but there is no requirement that they continue to provide services at the same level of quality that the special district provides. The Disney experience will suffer (and tourism and tax revenue will fall) if the counties cannot provide services that are consistent across the two different counties, and consistent with Disney's current level of service.

No, I mean doing business in 50 different states, or, as mentioned higher up in this thread, >50 different countries.

Any business that has ever tried to do something at that scale at any point in human history needed to deal with compliance in all of them. Just because Stripe or the Apple Store provides payment processing as a service doesn't mean that you can just shrug your shoulders, and claim that none of the other regional distinctions and local laws apply to you.

> Derisively sneering at anyone who doesn't want to do the "necessary work" or "behave" is a troll opinion, and not particularly rational.

Claiming that the law doesn't apply to you because you're a small business and you can't be bothered to follow it what isn't particularly rational, here. If you think this is an excessive burden, you should work to invest more power in the federal government, or in international unions like the EU.

Solder whiskers are more likely at low pressure and low temp, but they happen with lead-free solder (more slowly and at a lower frequency) under standard conditions as well [1]. Given the number of connections on any given PCB, and that we have no way to prevent or predict whiskers, the failure rate over reasonable time-frames of any ROHS PCBA converges to 100%.

For most projects you're going to pick a small number of SIMD levels to support. (An extreme case: Apple it seems didn't want to write a WebP decoder for Safari that didn't depend on a recent instruction level for x86)

Intel is probably going to be motivated to get maximum results on each CPU and today they are also thinking about FPGAs and how to get to get Intel GPU to compute faster than an abacus...

On top of that I'd posit two complications with MKL.

(1) is that the BLAS routines themselves are specialized in multiple versions. There are many things you might do differently depending on on the size of the problem and how it interacts with the cache, never mind the many different variations of functions that the user sees to deal with special case sparsities. N SIMD levels are multiplied by M variations for other reasons and NxM is getting big

(2) is that the quality of software coming out of Intel is not that good. It seems Intel has the kind of culture that hires 10 junior engineers to accomplish what 0 experienced engineers could do. I am always seeing a press release saying they laid off 10,000 engineers and then a month later they are hiring another 10,000 engineers.

They have downsized dramatically as well. They used to have permanent offices with seasonal satellites popping up. They have several-weeks' long training courses and began well ahead of tax season.

Now, they are a complete shitshow. I had an unusually complex return and decided to go with them. Big mistake.

While waiting (I had an appointment but that mattered not, I was waiting pver 1.5 hours).

My wait came to an end as I watched a kid, his wife and new daughter ask some questions no one knew how to answer.

His question was why he owed taxes. I, from my chair, knew the answer- he hadn't had anything deducted from his substantial unemployment and thus owed on those as he would have a regular job.

No one at this location, including the 'manager' knew or could find out this information. I watched as they slowly went up the ladder asking while trying not to freak out, and as the poor young couple were in hysetics.

I just left after seeing all of this.

They are reading the same or worse prompts than any free file service and are charging hundreds to thousands of dollars for the privilege and the 'tax experts' are anything but.
I don't know. The question is whether subsidizing 30Y mortgages (fannie mae/freddie mac/FHA/QE/standard terms enforced by law to enable refinancing, etc.) is the right policy in an open system where it has many major side effects, compared to other ways to adjust housing policy. For reference, Canada has no 30Y fixed mortgages - instead they have 5-10Y fixed terms and distinguish between prepayment for refinancing (exploiting the rate environment) vs. moving (the mortgage can be rolled into the new property). As a policy, this seems less likely to have destabilizing effects than what happens in the US (concentrating volatility by loading up the banks' balance sheets with trillions of refinanced debt at times of low interest rates for folks who happened to have the means and cash flow to refinance at the right time).
NewRelic being predatory again, nothing new to see here. I'll let our account rep know that this makes us hate them even more.

When they changed their billing to be per user our bill went up 20x for no additional value. Unfortunately I haven't found a better APM product that ticks all the boxes yet.

> I think where we really disagree is that I don't think there is a clearly defined baseline for "common knowledge". You say it's something like "10 minutes of googling", but I think there are other valid definitions, like the information you have on hand at the moment. i.e. is this a research library or a cocktail party (or something in between)?

Well, part of my crankiness on this point comes from the fact that if you're on HN you're on the Internet, so the "information you have on hand at the moment" is more-or-less the information you can find in "10 minutes of googling", eh?

(I'm old enough to remember the day I realized that the 'net was as fast as my hard drive.

To be totally honest, it probably isn't the "AirBnB" types, but (at least in the Washington state area) the loosening of rent regulations, which allows single family homes and neighborhoods to be zoned and converted to multiple family units fairly cheaply and easily. Landlords buy these up, do conversions on the cheap (and with minimal knowledge, a lot of the time) and rent them out.

Rents have outpaced mortgage costs and the return on investment has been ridiculous. People all over here have jumped into it. Hell, I've had people tell me I should do it... No F'in way I'm dealing with tenants and house calls in the middle of the night, though. I fix my own house, poorly and struggle to do that. I fix computers and call people to fix the house, usually, so it gets done right. I venture out of my lane every once and again, but I know I'll usually call a professional =)
Like I have said, I am not going to invest time into figuring out a way to find previously active twitter accounts that were deleted in the past ~4 days to have definite proof.

I am asking you to take the step from "Many people are saying they will quit twitter and have stopped posting" -> "It is reasonable to assume that there are some amount of people who have quit twitter and deleted their account". If you are unwilling to make that conclusion, they by all means go ahead; but I think you are being unreasonable to not make that relatively safe assumption
