> But the real key is the fight against crap: you sell a mixer with a plastic gear, easy to speculate that will break after few year, ok, you are allowed to do so, but you get a progressive tax: as much as durable and repairable is your device you pay less. For a mixer that means: 30% of the sale price as tax if it's expected lifetime is less than 10 years of normal usage.

So the cheaper mixer is now as expensive as the better built one. This means there's no more cheap mixer on the market. How is getting a single mother of three to pay 30% extra taxes to fund some civil servant's pension fund helping anyone?

> Another fraud is "spare parts available ONLY to 'certified technicians'" witch means repair is as expensive a get a new gear.

Thanks to the internet, this problem tends to solve itself. The factory in China will generally happily sell you some.

> anyone who can prove planned obsolescence, like technicians from inside the OEM, get rewarded SIGNIFICANTLY for their publication and the OEM so badly sanctioned that the whistleblower get no issue if is cut off some market, the company loose so much that no one want even try.

The problem is what's the bar for proving it? Every design has a component that will wear out first.
Could you please compare and contrast Avo with Jumpstart Rails (Pro)?
You don't need to invest in all that kit if you don't want too - I have most of the pretty typical "kit" for a flight simmer, yet I'm often too lazy to haul it all out and set it up (I don't leave it out in between "sessions" since I work from that computer too).

So, very often I wind up flying with just my cheap Logitech joystick, but even an XBox controller would be a huge step up from mouse/keyboard only.

Having programmable buttons available at your fingertips without having to take your eyes off screen and look for a button really adds to the immersion in my opinion.

I've upvoted you, and you may be right, but your last sentence could really be used as an argument for the opposite case - if the light bleeds into the background, then surely if the background is light, then it would bleed into the dark letters? And the effect would be enhanced since there is much more light on the screen in light mode?
How are you going to "kick them off the network"? There's no way to tell where the hashpower is coming from.

I feel like TiVo actually opened up a lot of this and the nascent streaming available at the time (hulu/youtube?) is what kicked off the rise of actually serialized and episodic TV.

It is very funny having to explain to people why shows like "star trek: the next generation" basically had to reset everything by the end of the episode back into it's original state in order for syndication to work (episodes are basically played in any order aside from the few 2-parter episodes).
Source for all of those opinions?
The 70% and 99.95% difference is because of the 10x filtration efficiency difference, combined with the CADR difference.

This is very straight-forward.
Thanks for the kind words!

Avo is built using Hotwire (Turbo and StimulusJS) so no fancy framework (React, vue, svelte) under the hood. We love Stimulus and goes very well with Rails development.

That beign said, Avo supports adding your own custom content (erb templates) and your own asset pipeline (webpacker, sprockets, or something else), so in theory you could inject React or Vue sprinkles here and there.
He's just honing his HN pedantry to a razor edge so he can point out that ackshewally it's not an air filter at all because it isn't restricted to gaseous fluids in the ratio of 0.78 oxygen to 0.21 nitrogen plus trace gases.

It can actually filter many types of gaseous compositions so it's really a gas filter. Have the authors even done a rudimentary PhD on filtration nomenclature? They are clearly unqualified to comment.

Seriously though I've seen enough of these sorts of Poe's that at least some of them must be serious. Must be weird living your life like that.
It would be great if GitHub integrated the concept of bounties into its system, so other projects could have them too without much administrative trouble.
I got a Volkswagen e-UP recently, and it's incredible for what it is - 160 miles of electric range, small, very nimble, large enough for 4 people and some stuff in the back - it's perfect. I have a much larger much more comfortable SUV too, but the e-UP is my car of choice recently. It costs £1.50 for a full charge too - less than a litre of petrol.
>lithium battery with an eight kWh capacity. It can drive up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) with one single charge, and it takes between six to eight hours to fully charge

It depends on how far is your urban run-around. 62 miles seems reasonable, but not at $16,500 to $18,250 price point.

> but I immediately ran into many rough edges

OctoSQL is definitely not in a stable state yet, so depending on the use case, there definitely are rough edges and occasional regressions.

> Missing FULL JOIN (this was a dealbreaker for me). LEFT/RIGHT join gave me "panic: implement me".

Indeed, right now only inner join is implemented. The others should be available soon.

> replace() is documented [1] as replace(old, new, text) but actually is replace(text, old, new) just like in postgres and mysql.
index() is documented [1] as index(substring, text)

I've removed the offending docs pages, they were documenting a very old version of OctoSQL. The way to browse the available functions right now is built-in to OctoSQL:

octosql "SELECT * FROM docs.functions"

> invalid argument syntax error at position 13 near 'index'

Looks like a parser issue which I can indeed replicate, will look into it.

Thanks again, cheers!
The weird thing with this whole crypto thing is, that it is so driven by hype there is no flesh, no muscle, no bones and yet the whole plunges itself forward like a undead body.

I like cryptography, there is so much clever constructs in there, that allow to solve information-theoretical problems in really elegant ways. The blockchain certainly is one of those clever constructs. The thing is: it solves a very specific set of problems with the grace of a sledgehammer. And somehow everybody wants to have those problems. In fact even if they don't have these problems they do their best to squeeze their eyes very hard in order to pretend they do — and they take the weight of the whole sledgehammer with them.

Most problems people throw blockchains at can be solved mich better and way .ore reliable and efficient by a data base, or a certificate authority. And even in those places where it fits like a glove the true practicality of the resulting solutions is questionable at best. Imagine paying at the supermarket with bitcoin and waiting 15 minutes till the transaction is through.

Zero. Equity is given in exchange for taking on risk or deferred compensation, not just because work was done. At least, not unless they negotiated it as part of their contract (which does happen).

What I think others overlook is that in practice (and despite what the retconners are trying to say about bitcoin is gold or some nonsense) -- is that Bitcoin was NOT designed to be a blockchain platform. It was designed to be fungible currency. And it's an excellent proof-of-concept...but with severe flaws that will kill it, especially in light of the fact that we're talking about *open source software, which begs to be forked, and effectively has been.

Your argument strikes me as very odd -- you seem to suggest that nothing can beat Bitcoin in theory, but Ethereum is already beating it in practice.

Anecdotally: a lot! I find it very useful for practicing IFR procedures and approaches. You can connect it to an external comm service like Vatsim and a real human will even give you vectors and clearances! (They, too, are using it for realistic practice for a job with air traffic control)
Fedwire is a terrible foundation to build transaction processing on, since it is extraordinarily slow - it would fail to handle the needs of even a small village.

The "solution" of slapping something like banks on top of it is "let's completely forgo all of the Fed's guarantees and build something else; while still being hurt by Fedwire's cripplingly slow speed when creating our network".

Also, the incentive structures being discussed are only meaningful as long as the Banks believe that the Fed will keep increasing the money supply. If it looks like USD is dying, they have every reason to try to squeeze the last few drops of value from it by running an attack on it and running away with what real money they can extract.
The farmer may look disapointed in the photos, but with gov't FCIP crop insurance, he gets paid whether his crop grows or not.

So this is a negative event for the federal budget and taxpayers, but wheat farmers, get paid 85-90% of what the crop would have been worth at market, in the event of crop failures like this.

Yeah I don't think anyone thinks light mode damages their eyes. It's just bright and annoying with emissive screens (which is basically all of them currently).

I'll go back to light mode if/when we get high contrast high frame rate reflective screens.
Ohhhhhh, thanks, much appreciated.
> I think the most horrible is when techies celebrate a crash, without thinking about the middle class/lower class people who may have lost their life savings

I absolutely loathe this article, but you have a point. It seems unseemly to engage in schadenfreude against gullible retail investors, many of which are legitimate victims. This point is not really related to the arguments put forth by the article itself, but it still seems like a point that should be made here.
And be put on a competitive disadvantage? Gee I wondered why he and other foreign automakers have plants in right to work states
Fair enough. But I do this sort of thing all the time and--assuming I have a clear topic in mind and the supporting material (big caveats which can take quite a bit of time)--banging out a thousand word article is certainly less than a day process. And, yes, while a fair number of words change or change positions or get reworded, that sort of essentially copy-editing is mostly stuff I can do in my sleep.

I thought about how to reply to this, but database roles vary so differently from company to company, it's a bit of a rabbit hole to go down. Whether you call what I described being a DBA or not, I don't think it's reasonable that a software developer would now "own" the database and all that entails. It just so happens that the database fits nicely into being "owned" and managed in AWS. And it also may neatly obviate the need for the DBA role. Although, I think that's debatable too.

Right. But if you aren't having sex, you aren't having kids. Growing up, you grow up in family. You grow up around families. You grow up around a group of adults who have all had sex.

The more you grow up and become independent and your circle deviates from those of your parents, the more likely it is you will start running into people who haven't had sex. Or don't have as many opportunities to do so. You may even become one of those people.

You think they're rarer than they are because you grow up surrounded by people who have sex. People with kids is a very specific subset.

So people like the article's author think people are having less sex when the reality is that he just knows more people who aren't having as much sex as his parents and their circle did.
I don't think our assumptions are so far appart. The methods you mentioned made it from research to the open source community fairly quickly. In fact, most companies rely on this kind of open research to develop their models. In a lot of use cases, it has become more about finding the right data that improving the model code. (I like Andrew Ng thoughts on this: https://datacentricai.org/)
At the same time, there are still a lot of unsolved engineering challenges with the code when it comes to productionalizing models, especially for real time speech transcription.

And we agree with your prediction. That's why we started Dioptra: to come up with a systematic way to curate high quality data so you can annotate just the data that matters.

> On the other hand, Game Theory 101 tells us that forced plays are often lousy moves

I think this falls into the category of "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not." Teaching children, in an age appropriate way that takes their unique strengths and weaknesses into consideration, is the definition of parenting. Preparing kids for life on their own is important.

Keeping commitments, budgeting and long-term planning are important skills. Having someone pay a small amount of rent is a reasonable way to do that. Not the only way, but it's a viable way.

Aside from grossly misdefining poverty by the U.S definition as "abject poverty" (it isn't even close and most certainly abject poverty doesn't apply to 18% of the U.S. population), your argument here boils down to. This factual accounting of a reduction in poverty doesn't fit with my completely arbitrary ideal of how much reduction I want to see by now, so it's "blowing sunshine up my ass". Huh?

As another reply here said, By all means, explain how you'd make poverty stand at 1%. Also explain what system you'd have that's so much better if you like.

Basic point. It's easy but disingenuous to compare the real world's changes with those of our limitless notions of the ideal. The valid thing is to compare something now to how it was previously for genuine perspective.

You're right, but we have to take one step at a time to get there. Among other things, unions normalize the notion that employees also have a say in how the business runs, even if it's rather limited.
Other than the fingerprint scanner thing on my touchpad I haven’t encountered a non- working out of the box piece of hardware on a laptop for so long I don’t even know how long its been.

And apparently the fingerprint scanner works but I just never got around to it because I don’t care.

So, I have spent zero minutes setting up hardware on Linux in at least the last 15 years and then it was one of those hand tracking things the company donated to the Blender Foundation that I ended up with which was experimental so didn’t have drivers in the distro.

778 WPM with Bionic, 672 without. Bionic appears to have increased my speed by 15% but it's also possible that I was just paying more attention to the articles implementing the technique. It's unfortunate that the comprehension scores aren't given though (unless I'm missing something?)
I keep coming back to something like collaborative filtering

Raw context-unaware scores may come from researchers, but 'real' scores are based on deployment context. So a vuln may have diff final scores based on context, and the community needs ways identifying which bucket they fall into. Likewise, there is probably an 80/20 for most libs in terms of use case, so a good bet on default bucket of typical personal profile might help further decrease overhyping for raw scores. CI vs Server vs Browser vs TCB vs ... .

Ex: npm audit reports on dev dependencies by default, but a regex complexity attack there is less legit, yet that's where most of the alerts seem to be. Instead of pushing to the user, can push a use-adjusted score to the reporting tool, and user can pick sensitivities for both.

Collaborative filtering is one way, and others as well. Without something like thay, scores are largely ungrounded FUD / box checking.
This is just your opinion, and wow is it a privileged take. Of course there is value in being able to trade with whoever you want, regardless of jurisdiction. Just because YOU do not see the value doesn't mean it's not there.
This would never be highway certified in the US - which means it would basically be classed as a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, so it would compete against golf carts here.

I'm not saying that is the correct approach to classifying vehicles, just what I would expect to happen if it were brought to the US.

In one of the more obscure Ursula K Le Guin books, there was a passage that has always stuck with me. She's describing a hypothetical society where (to paraphase) they had eventually come to the realization that:

"the computer, once invented, could not be un-invented"

They put most of the storage on the moon, most of the processing power in a network of satellites, and in every village there was a hut with a dumb terminal. The vast majority of the population didn't need computer skills, only the handful of people whose lifetime tenured position was to maintain the hut and the terminal. The only 'useful' function provided by the terminal was you could tell it what you had and what you wanted, and if there were people nearby with complementary needs and wants, it would tell you which direction to walk.
> Crypto critics need to reconcile these two conflicting ideas: “I’m not stupid” and “I missed out on 100x gains.” A crypto downturn provides them with a cathartic opportunity to brag “I told you so.”

Those ideas are not conflicting ideas. If my friend takes his life savings, goes to Vegas, and bets it all on black: he can double his money and still be dumber than me. Crypto critics just got sick of people buying lottery tickets all day and telling everyone else how great of an investment lottery tickets are because they won one time.
It would more explain lack of spread in other large gatherings.

Edit: As an example, it could also go a long way to explain why more teachers don't get covid from students. They don't typically have shared restrooms. Big caveat, I've not seen a reliable quantification of that spread.
The Key for Progress: Recognizing and Overcoming Laziness
I was 15% faster with Bionic reading, but I noticed that my comprehension suffered somewhat. I still got all the review questions right, but I sometimes had to re-read sentences or phrases and didn't have that problem as much with the normal text.

My assumption is that I'm able to scan the words better with BR, but my eye gets pulled along too fast and I'm reading without comprehending.
I'm genuinely curious: How do you value your time?

If you're an engineer who is paid $150/hour and Copilot saves you 5 minutes/month it just paid for itself.
The key assumption with this redesign is basically the same as with the old one: we are supposed to immediately understand what this icon is supposed to mean. However, what will our assumptions about things be in about 50 years, which is how long the previous icons existed? Will we even recognize a washing machine with its porthole as such or will it be the case of a 3.5" floppy as a "Save" icon, which has confused people for the last 15 years?

And besides that: do we really need new icons? Make an app which will recognize and interpret the icons and you are done without making several gigantic industries replace well-known and well-working pieces of their daily work.
