> It's clear (to me anyway) that if one believes speech leads to violence, and if less extreme measures don't achieve the results you want, one will eventually attempt to have speech such as Chapelle's comedy routine legally defined as incitement of violence.

I don't think this follows from the current jurisprudence on speech at all. I.e. we have a long a successful-ish tradition of sorting out speech that does or does not lead to violence without making blunt judgements like you describe. There's a long legal history of untangling legally censurable speech from speech that might incite violence but that incitement is not clear enough to use the law to restrict it.

I do not personally feel that Chapelle's comedy routine invokes violence (FWIW I have never spoken to anyone else before, it just did not seem like a big deal) - the root of this thread was "I feel like I can disagree with someone without being hateful" and I was just pointing out how they could do that (and also that the view they disagreed with wasn't generally held by the group they attributed it to). So...if you don't want to be viewed as transphobic, it's a bad strategy to claim staw-man the arguments trans people are making.

That said there's a lot to talk about here and clearly I haven't been fully successful in communicating what I want!

In general, I would say that the idea of "a solution" to bad speech is kind of questionable. Speech acts are part of a tapestry of ideology and rhetoric that can be engaged to all sorts of ends. Treating it as an isolated action feels out of sync with reality to me. Different kinds of bad speech will have different responses - often depending on how much power and influence the speaker has. For instance, there are many people who advocate pretty extreme reactions to Chapelle that I don't think are warranted - but the chance of them going into effect seem very small so I don't spend much time on it. It's not enough info to just look at the text - you have to also look at context.

P.s. sorry for the late response, I had a busy day yesterday.

That’s a great question because it made me pause and think about what proper ceo compensation could be, rather than just complaining about it.

An interesting thought experiment is to see what public servants in position of authority and responsibility get paid. Can’t think of anyone higher than a US president. Turns out that the president gets paid 400k a year. Not a lot relative to what corporate ceos make.

Are there any of those compact speaker systems that actually sound good, though?
So in a fantasy universe that doesn't exist this analysis doesn't make sense. Ok?
From the headline, I thought this article was going to go in exactly the opposite direction- in other words, it's possible--and even common--that something looks great and is incredibly poorly 'designed' - because design is not about looks but about being effective.

That said, pretty-ness can certainly aid in actual design if it's serving the function of making something feel easier or more compelling.
Almost everything uses simple JSON APIs which are far more trivial than html scraping. You also don't need to evaluate the Javascript to figure out what it's doing (something I can't even imagine doing, do you really do this? and where have you done it?), just browse the website normally with your network tab open and look at the endpoints and you're basically done.

Obfuscated APIs like Pokemon GO and Netflix are in the tiny minority.

I managed a Bitcoin mining operation a long time ago. We made machines that made 50% of their BTC in the first month of their operation, and the remaining 50% over the next 5 months. After that they cost more to run than they produced.

The accountants wouldn't believe us when we told them that the machines were worthless after only 6 months.
Based on the replies you got, it seems pretty clear that the answer to all three of your questions is “no”.
You are vastly incorrect.
> Thus reasonable to speculate that a process node advancement would at least put Intel's chip on par with M1 on both perf and efficiency

We'll see, but I highly doubt that Intel-at-equivalent-of-TSMC-5nm will be performance/watt competitive with the M1. Apple gets that power efficiency via an extremely wide-and-deep design that intentionally trades off a surprisingly low max clock ceiling (3.2GHz) for power efficiency while maintaining an absurdly high IPC (something like 75% higher than Intel's IPC at only one process node smaller) that makes it much more competitive on performance than conventional industry wisdom ever expected (there is and has been for years a strong belief that a design as wide as Apple's would be grossly inefficient because you could not possibly extract enough instruction level parallelism to keep so many decoders/execution units saturated -- hence we've spent over a decade with 4-5 wide frontends being the "practical maximum" that allows them to still target ~5GHz turbo speeds, which was believed to be basically the best/only path to high performance within what was believed to be the limit of "achievable" IPC. The M1 blows these fundamental assumptions out of the water).

So Intel makes conventional design decisions that make up the performance of their lower clock-for-clock IPC by turboing well north of 5GHz, at the cost of consuming something like 7x the max power of the M1. A single node shrink isn't going to buy them a 75% increase in IPC (their last 4 or 5 node shrinks combined haven't bought them that much IPC increase), so Intel@equivalent-of-TSMC-5nm still going to have to burn power like crazy to stay competitive on performance, and that's going to cost them efficiency that the node shrink just can't paper over.

It will lead in absolute perf, but its not going to be nearly as efficient.
I feel like this is a very unusual setup initially of relying only on log based metrics. Metrics and logs generally serve different purposes; and log-based metrics enhance your metrics pipeline rather than replace it.

Kudos on you for introducing them to a metrics pipeline though!

>What renders this whole calculation wrong is that it doesn’t account for transaction fees AND transaction fees growth which was also supposed to be growing exponentially, had Bitcoin not been artificially limited to ~ 2 MB blocks every ten minutes

I agree that bitcoin should use an adjustable block size, but I'm not exactly sure that this logic follows. Can you explain this to me? If the network could handle more transactions per block, wouldn't the fees per transaction just decrease?
Thanks for your reply. Actually you don't have to sign up. I should have made this more clear in this post or even in the app. When you click on "One week free trial" the app will save a boolean on User Defaults which saves the date of you taking the free trial. So no sign up is needed. So basically every time you delete the app you can get a free week again.
I wanted to implement some sort of in app purchase but also let as many people as possible try the app. I'm thinking about making the app completely free with the next version. My most important point here is to get a feedback from people in the field.

CEOs need to be compensated on business metrics - not all financial. The metrics should account for short- and long-term growth, employee retention, public relations, etc. If you tank the company, you walk away with nothing.
That continues: "However, according to established case law, the courts have said that copyright can only subsist in subject matter that is original in the sense that it is the author’s own ‘intellectual creation’. Given this criterion, it seems unlikely that what is merely a retouched, digitised image of an older work can be considered as ‘original’."

The Wikipedia article is wrong - it only talks about "the capacitor plague" of water-based elcos from 1999 onwards.

There have been multiple capacitor plagues. E.g. in the late 80s/early 90s SMD electrolytics entered the market and these had absolutely atrocious reliability because their lead seals kept failing, so they'd empty their electrolyte into the PCB. Before that the Japanese brands had a plague. Philips "blue axials" had a plague in the 70s/80s. I don't remember the brand right now (small, red-cased caps), which also had a plague in the 80s. Rifa MP safety caps have had moisture ingress issues and associated explosion and fire issues since forever.

Pioneer sold their home A/V business to Onkyo in 2015.
apple's performance per watt is a remarkable accomplishment. but the second half of your comment has more to do with the anemic thermal design of windows OEMs than anything else. my intel desktop (9700k with 5ghz all-core OC) is also barely audible while running anything less intense than prime95. it just takes a large air cooler with a sensible fan curve. dell could easily do better with a custom case if they actually cared.

Funny how that's the complete opposite of another celebrated investor: Jorge Paulo Leman from Brazil's 3G Capital Partners (Heinz, Popeye's, Anheuser-Busch, Tim Horton's, Bugger King, etc).

Their game is to buy brands with very strong customer loyalty and slash costs (and quality). In the long run they'll destroy the brand but until then will make enough profits to more than compensate for the investment.

I feel that your approach might be too instrumental to be effective.

I get it that you want to find and convert the best opportunity in the most optimal time, but sometimes the best idea is to lean into you want you enjoy to do, especially if that thing is professionally relevant.

That observation doesn't really address the questions though. Why did the US get this way, and why does it stay this way?

For example, zoning laws prohibit me from setting up a little store in the middle of a suburb. Think NYC bodega - a local place to get all sorts of stuff (milk, detergent, pasta, soft drinks, coffee, trash bags, maybe a small deli) quick and easy, rather than drive to a larger store because you just realized you forgot one thing.

The store would likely be close enough that kids can be sent on errands there, so the adult driver can skip the trip entirely.

Are US zoning laws which prohibit this in place because our officials who passed these laws incompetent? Or due to car and oil lobbying? Or some other reason?

Or, since I know more about the US, why is there such opposition to secondary suites? My retired mother rents out the apartment above her garage, but building those (or "mother-in-law suites", casitas, etc.) is not allowed in more recent zoning laws.
> Interestingly, when I run "Try Ubuntu" from the bootable USB device, I can connect the monitor and have Ubuntu working on both screens. It seems that, somehow, the problem is with the installed OS, rather than the OS itself.

Frustrating. But this part seems like a hint that figuring out the issue won't take too much longer with some investigation.
I do think theres still a lot of value in having close to 100% test coverage. As you point out its not sufficient to prevent issues, but having code run somewhere at least once before running in production is good.
Personally I like the model where the CEO cannot make more than X times the lowest pay worker or X times the median salary. It's not like they take on any extra risk, in fact, more often than not, they can do terrible things and walk away without suffering any real consequences. We rarely see the people at the top take any responsibility for the actions of the company so what are we paying them for? I refuse to accept they are somehow so much smarter than the people actually do the work. That idea has no basis in reality in my experience.

I also am very interested in the co-op model that I've seen a few places (mainly in Europe I think?).

“It used to be that in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, CEOs made 3.3 times what a top 0.1% earner made. Now, it’s more than six times,” says Mishel. “CEOs now are making 351 times that of a typical worker, but back in 1978, it was only 31 times. In 1989, it was 61 times.”

My background is financial services.

So here's a question for you.

If the banks are big on outsourcing, and a Canadian bank CEO makes 10+ Million a year while the CEO of the largest banks in the world earns just $185,000

Would it make sense to remove the $10 million dollar CEO and outsource the position?

Why does the CEO of a bank which is 10x the size earn less?

How many "low level" positions need to be outsourced to equal the CEO's compensation?

It isnt up to the employees to determine CEO compensation, it is the board of directors job. The issue is they all sit on one another boards and it is highly nepotistic. Also, once one CEO gets a hike, everyone knows becaues this is public info and they all want matching hikes.

Lastly, COVID19 resulted in a lot of companies losing a lot of money, many people losing their jobs, buy why was CEO salary up?
I actually think it's probably pretty simple underneath the facade - Musk offered to buy Twitter for a lot of money. The market tanked and Musk doesn't want to pay that price any more. He thinks he can strong-arm Twitter and either not go through with the purchase or force them to accept a lower price. The law does not support this, but Musk has a history of being unbothered by the law and there are examples (not Musk) where this tactic has worked to reduce the purchase price by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everything else is just window dressing.
These uncapped forks do exist, they’re the reason the whole community split in 2017; so when those “analysis” articles ignore them and ignore the fact that the white paper and Bitcoin’s creator explicitly called for on-chain growth and scaling, they’re being either dishonest or ignorant.

It’s like someone saying “Look at how wasteful this car limited to 20MPH is! All cars are wasteful!”. No, not all cars, especially that the original design explicitly said to scale the engine as more speed is needed.
>you strip it off IPTC copyright metadata which makes your copy illegal to use in the UK

It’s the loose use of “on the other hand” when the two constraints are not clearly first presented as being in opposition.

Ask HN: How can nonprofits recruit without Facebook ads?
According to the annual M+R Benchmarks Study, just 187 NGOs spent over €100m on online ads last year (https://mrbenchmarks.com/).

I’ve worked at NGOs for many years, and have always felt uneasy about our dependence on Facebook to recruit members online.

What are the ethical alternatives?

Is there, for example, an AdCouncil or nonprofit ad network for mastodon servers and matrix servers and the like?
When I receive a call, my Bose SoundSport headphones randomly ring at max volume, with audible clipping. This happens when the iOS ring volume slider is set to the middle and hearing protection is enabled at 75dB. The sound is shockingly loud, especially when listening to an audio book at low volume. There was a multi-year megathread about it on the Bose forums before the company removed the forums entirely.

I chatted with five different Bose Support staff and they all refused to file a bug report. They are happy to send me a third pair with the same problem.

How can we get companies to respect their users?
I would personally try cranelift for this. Its goals are around producing executable code quickly rather than optimally, which is pretty much the opposite of llvm. There are lots of things out there that use llvm for jit, but even its jit library layer is pretty heavy and you’ll probably spend more time generating code than you’d like.

That said, cranelift is still experimental.
Weird, perhaps; primitive, no.

One of the historical issues with linguistics is that it analyzed every language as if it were Classical Latin or Classical Greek, and if that language had elements that didn't work out... well, that can't be proper then, can it? You still see some residuum of this in English prescriptivist poppycock, like the prohibition against ending sentences in prepositions.

As linguists actually started inventorying world languages, it became more and more clear that there is a very wide dichotomy of grammatical features that don't necessarily translate well to familiar languages. There are vanishingly few features that are actually universal to all languages--the noun may well be the only universal part of speech. That a language doesn't choose to mark a feature in a particular way doesn't make it more primitive than another language. English doesn't have a numerical classifier... is it more primitive than an Australian Aboriginal language? Or is it more primitive than Japanese for not having a way to mark register (~ politeness)?

(FWIW, Linear B is used to write Mycenaean Greek, and this has been known for ~70 years.)
Older ISA Sound Blaster cards indeed have jumpers to configure I/O ports, IRQ lines, and DMA addresses for the hardware, and traditionally there was no reliable way to auto-detect conflicts with other hardware — such conflicts are a likely source of your distorted audio — so manual reconfiguration was frequently required.

Additionally, Sound Blaster-compatible software requires either manual or semi-automatic configuration via the BLASTER environment variable or application-specific configuration mechanisms to determine the hardware configuration.

Creative indeed repurposed a couple infrequently-used pins on its implementation of the IBM PC game port[1] to implement a MIDI interface; other vendors followed suit.

In addition to computer music applications, external MIDI modules — most notably, the Roland MT-32[2] and Sound Canvas SC-55[3] — were commonly supported by games of the era[4].

Today, all this can be easily emulated in both software[5] and first-party emulated hardware[6]. Additionally, Sound Canvas was the basis for the General MIDI standard, so it's also possible to wire up DOSBox MIDI to other GM-compliant synths for similar results (at least in [relatively] newer games with General MIDI support; attempting to emulate MT-32 via GM rarely works out well).

Source: personal experience, though "back in the day" I used a Roland SCC-1, which combined an SC-55-compatible synth and an MPU-401-compatible[7] MIDI interface on an ISA card. For most games, this configuration also required a separate sound card for non-music sound effects, but was otherwise convenient, slots permitting, as it required no external hardware.
