> Also, there's strange stuff like naming processes for service discovery, and iirc something is wrong with the way that Erlang does selective receives that disqualifies it from being an actor system, and ultimately more modern Erlang things like ets tables and sharing memory with nifs.

Ets tables are observationally equivalent to an Erlang process per table and sending it a message for each function call. It's not actually implemented that way, but I don't think that is grounds to disqualify it. I don't remember enough details about the naming process, but I think that might be similar; you could send a message to a naming process to set and lookup the names (although you'd have a bit of trouble finding out what the process id of the naming process is, wouldn't you?), it's just not very pragmatic.

Nifs certainly have the potential to break the model of course. I'd think selective receive should be fine too, it's equivalent to reading (or peeking) and saving messages until a matching message is received, processing that message, then processing future messages from the saved queue. It's just implemented in a more pragmatic way.

If immutability is important, then the process dictionary means Erlang doesn't qualify, but again, it's pragmatic.

I'd rather have a pragmatic almost actor system than a dogmatic Actor system that's hard to use.
It would have to be treated with something like borate to retard the decomposition (AKA composting) process. This is already done to cellulose and wood fiber insulation, but it's not clear if this material could be similarly treated.

TLDR: Don't look for "feedback", learn the customer/user and the problem they are trying to solve.

Communicating with users (or future users) is not really an issue I've faced with either of my startups (metaverse for outdoor sports https://ayvri.com & neurotech/sleeptech https://soundmind.co).

I inherited Ayvri, but started SoundMind. The first thing is speaking to users, not something you do after. Who is your target user and where do you find them. I think if you are solving somebodies problem, or understand the problem you are solving it makes it easier to reach out and communicate with the users.

It's difficult to reach out to existing users with a "can you give feedback" without really understanding the problem you are solving for them specifically, or asking about a problem.

When working on Ayvri (then Doarama), we had a few paragliders who were really into the product. I'm not a paraglider (which always amazes that community) so I had no idea what they wanted. I looked at our most viewed 3D scenes, found out who made it, and reached out saying "hey, you're getting lots of views, and you clearly love the platform. I know nothing about paragliding and why you use our product, can you tell me about it, and how you use it and why?" Sure it's "feedback", but it's really about understanding what they are trying to accomplish and why they use the product. That is more important than getting "feedback" on what you've got. Understand the problem, and you may find solutions that the users don't know they need.

With SoundMind, before we really didn't knew what the product would be, I was communicating with people on reddit re: neurotech, sleep, biohackers, etc. From there, I've had people (including investors) hunt me down on linkedin or message me on via reddit (HN has also been a good source). I dove deep into understanding people's problem with sleep, and from there we've focused on two initial HIGHLY specific use cases that we can help them with. So once we know who THOSE users are, again, it's fairly easy to speak to them.
I have not heard of Gowers, but I have heard of Gödel, Turing, and Church. In fact, Gödel showed for any non-trivial axiomatic system there are true statements which cannot be proved in the system. So there is that.
Though my heart goes out for what happened to Rina, despite her claims that the 6 group chat participants were careful, I resonate with this reply [0]. Most likely, one of her group chat participants may have left a web or desktop session logged in to a public pc or that of a friend or family member who's home may have been raided by the authorities, allowing them access to a logged in session. Another option is they may have done so via malware [1] or a fake site [2]. Or since the government may work closely with mobile operators a SS7 attack [3] or even having an employee of a mobile operator redirect a login text message may all be in the cards and much more accessible than a pricey Pegasus or other mobile attack vector as Rina suggests.

I highly recommend to everyone using Telegram (or other web services) to enable their 2nd factor authentication [4]. This combined with reviewing your active sessions and the Telegram channel for login notifications can allow you to defeat any of the above attacks (with the possible exception of the recovery@telegram.org email service?)For Telegram, this will prompt for a password in addition to the required code sent to another active Telegram session or if not, via SMS. You can provide an email address for recovery purposes or avoid that entirely (which may be a problem if this password is forgotten).

In addition, recently I was prompted in the Telegram settings pane to confirm my number has not changed, and that I still remember my password, even providing a way to test it. I am not sure what would happen if I said I forgot it (would I be allowed to reset it? would all other active sessions be signed out?) but it seems the Telegram team is making an effort to keep users safe in light of attacks on SMS.

Patents have served society significantly. Without them, companies would develop new technology and keep it secret, forcing others to guess or reverse-engineer the process -- at which point they would likely keep it secret as well.

So many governments give people a limited (usually <20 year) guaranteed monopoly on an idea in exchange for a full, public description of what the new idea is.

If you look through the US patent archives, there are instructions for all sorts of manufacturing and construction technologies that would have never become public knowledge had patents not existed.

The problem comes when a company successfully patents an idea that's already publicly known, or an idea that is strictly mathematical or abstract enough to be used against others but not concrete enough to be turned into a successful product.
Yes obviously.

When it comes to memorizing songs, that seems pretty ingrained in humans as a species. See folk songs, oral tradition, and jingles. Set a boring verse to music and I can pull it out of my memory twenty years later if you give me the hook.
I don't pay very much attention to goings-on in Sweden but just to make sure we have our causality straight here: how far into their mass migration did these book-burnings begin, and how was integration doing before that? (seeing as how you're blaming book-burning—which, without examining things further, I assume to be a political stunt distastefully attempting to make a point/draw attention to the issue—for the integration difficulties.)
People do it at hotels everyday. All you have to do is say your dog is a service animal and make up a task that it does for you.
That’s exactly how it works. People do just in fact declare their animals to be “service”, and because of how disability accommodation laws work, you cannot do anything about it.

I wish for an airline like this. I would pay extra for the extra seat. Maybe tag the flight as pet-friendly to allow passengers the ability to decide not to take a certain flight due to allergies. I regard my pet as a family member
As the parent of a young daughter, I have little sympathy for humans who do not themselves exhibit sympathy and understanding for the behavior of the youngest members of the human race. Children and babies cry and throw tantrums, and many humans reproduce. If they didn't, the human race would end. These are two facts of life that acceptance of, imo, will make your life easier as a fellow member of the human race. Oh, lastly, families need to travel, and bring their youngest members with them. I think you should get noise cancelling headphones, and ear plugs, the former of which I always use on planes and helps take the edge off a baby's screams. I wouldn't have a problem with planes charging more for a section of seats that have improved sound barriers or something like that, however.

Hooters tried something similar but arguably more niche back in the 2000s.
I don't have to explain anything, HN is based on the ideals of arguing in good faith and not vilifying people for their opinions. If you think they're being harsh, then say that. If you think they're wrong, then refute them. But if you're solely seeking to bash them, why even comment in the first place? How does that advance anyone's understanding of the topic, or sway anyone's belief? It's the opposite of productive conversation, if you think they're encouraging a harmful or counterproductive dialogue then you can downvote them and move on. It's not rocket science.
Wow, this is amazing. I'm shocked I didn't know of this earlier.

Biotech startups? Develop a cure for horrible disease X (save lives, give people a few more years with their families, etc–feels good?)–and then get rich selling that cure.

I think Blue Origin's messaging is in principle similar to SpaceX (Bezos wants to save the environment by moving manufacturing to orbit, etc.) It is just that SpaceX rather obviously delivers on that message, and has grown rich delivering; Blue Origin hasn't delivered much yet, and it is hard to grow rich prior to delivery–but maybe, give them a few more years, they'll finally get their act together, and they'll become more SpaceX-like.

> States are divested of the power to regulate interstate commerce. This is squarely jurisdiction of federal government, not the states.

It's not as simple as that. States can indeed apply their laws to interstate commerce in a myriad of ways, but not to the degree that the U.S. federal government can. States for example can force e-commerce companies to apply sales tax to purchases made by customers based in the given state, even though the business is based in another state. By your logic, the state should only be able to enforce their laws on the resident customer, but that's not true, they can apply their law to the online retailer who doesn't have a presence in the state and force them to collect the taxes on the state's behalf and remit the taxes to the state. [0]

As a second example, a state's minimum wage laws apply to any person who resides within the state, even if that person works remotely for a company based solely in another state. If you have a company in Illinois, your minimum wage is $12.00 per hour. If you employ a person who resides in California for remote work, you still must pay them the California minimum wage of $14.00 per hour. You must also adhere to other labor laws for the employee who resides in California for overtime, maximum hours worked per day, and others. [1]

> We simply disagree here. I see that they are purchasing IP within their state lines, you see something completely different.

We do disagree, but your opinion also disagrees with one-hundred years of U.S. employment case law, and so I would argue is factually incorrect.

Yup for sure. Nobody likes being managed by a relative fool, so you have about 10 people on planet earth who could have done the job. I'd guess it is waaaaay further out than 98th percentile though...
Humans are not as unpredictable as most pets.
Though you'd have a possibly noisy large black box, compared to a small quieter silver box. This is a factor in computer design - cooling is hard. A quiet small box with performance of a noisy large black box is something a lot of people would pay for (including me).
Each flight is a snapchat story appropriate sub-minute interval, like 15-40 seconds sort of thing. I really don't want to sound condescending, but if that isn't immediately obvious then you aren't the target audience.
In a company in which abuses (e.g., forcing warehouse workers to remain on site during an active tornado watch (funnel sighted), resulting in multiple deaths), it is precisely this FYIGM attitude which is the problem.

It's why we don't judge companies, or organisations, or individuals, no their best, but on their worst. It's why we look for groups that look out for each other, which are concerned with how the least among them --- least powerful, least privileged, least protected --- are treated.

Your situation may be a windfall for you. It only further illustrate's what's wrong with Amazon, and rotten to the core.
Smartphones have ECG, not EEG. EEG is brainwave.
Yes, marketing is a "concern" but we're not going for a spray and pray, make 10k devices. We've got a few very specific use cases, and partner channels, etc.

TOTALLY agree on the bluetooth thing. It's one of my biggest concerns as I keep seeing almost every hardware device with bluetooth users complaining about pairing issues. I am SUPER concerned about that, and we are spending lots of time trying to focus on making that SUPER solid. But we also haven't really been able to get bluetooth connectivity to fail yet! We keep trying more and more devices, but it always works. I do think BLE has resolved lots of issues over Bluetooth classic, but if you've got any tips on how the hell we make sure that is rock solid, please let me know.
I can't wait until my "in person" interactions are with the RL equivalent of a chatbot that doesn't actually understand anything but behaves in a locally "human like" way so that corporate types think it can replace a real person.

I'm interested to see how the field advances, but it won't lead to AGI, it will lead to cool tricks that the ignorant think are sufficient to replace a real person. That will suck
Bisphenol S, mark my words
You aren't wrong but you also aren't giving my comment the benefit of the doubt. I'm not a lawyer. When I say "malpractice" I'm not referring to the legal definition of the word, but the layman's term, defined as, "improper, illegal, or negligent professional activity or treatment, especially by a medical practitioner", which fits here well.

>This... isn't a new thing that deserves the “now” label like it is a change. Criminal wrongdoing by employees (including in healthcare) very often does not rise to a level of criminality for the employer, and that's been true for a long time.

Of course criminal charges for a patient death cannot be administered on an entity like an entire hospital, I didn't mean to insinuate that. But those who share responsibility for her actions: the administrators, doctors, morticians, everyone involved in designing the processes which led to this disaster and being involved in covering it up (i.e. the "hospital"), all seem at least partially liable if we are looking at this mistake through a criminal lens. Would you agree?

Some studies say that medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US [1] - yet how often do we see "criminal reckless homicide" brought against nurses? There was an incredibly disingenuous serious of mistakes that had to happen for this nurse to mess up so badly, don't get me wrong. But when nurses are working 50-70 hours a week doing 14 hour shifts under extremely high pressure from management, these insane strings of mistakes are simply going to be an occurrence, and we shouldn't be using our tax dollars to pay for shitty lawyers to go after them for these mistakes. It's a waste of everybody's time, energy, and money, is detrimental to patients, and is a contributor to the fact that 90% of nurses are considering leaving the profession.

well, then I'm all outta ideas, you're on your own now
It's a subject you probably heard about at least three times in secondary school. If you forgot, look it up. It's like these people who were in the same state-required economics class I had to take in high school who pass around memes about how kids should have to learn about interest and credit cards and checking accounts and taxes and saving for retirement in high school, because they had to learn on their own.

Egregious cases of patent trolling often involve NPEs that are also not the original applicants. i.e., they buy patents just to use them for trolling. It might be possible, and would make a real difference, to target such actors. Once a patent is in the secondary market, an NPE shouldn't be allowed to attempt enforcement.

Governments need to make the top regulator jobs more like top CEO positions.

Get access to government retreats meant for diplomats, nice pay and create prestige.

But along with that comes a complete ban of gainful employment from industry after you get the top job with jail as punishment.

If you aren’t fired for colluding with industry then get a lifelong pension.

Expensive sure, but less expensive than letting industry control the regulators.

I mean yeah, it's about half the price of a DJI Mini 2 ($449 v $230). You'd expect it to perform worse. It seems totally reasonable for people who just want to take some shots for their snapchat story but aren't really interested in having a real drone.
Is it enforced in National Parks?

Maybe better to say that the universe does not appear to pick out a single coarse-graining or fine-graining procedure for practically any system.

For instance, following your Boltzmannian example, I think one would notice swapping 1 µm³ of the r/w head and 1 µm³ of the recording surface of a new, freshly powered on HDD more than one would notice substituting the entire HDD for a new one of the same model and turning that on. And here I am already using units of length (cf. "equal volume"), and we know neither units nor lengths are generally picked out by the universe.

I think its pretty unlikely that car companies ever go after customers who modify their own vehicles and test that legal theory directly.
