Particularly notable here since Coinbase is famously a "mission-focused" company [1]:

> Coinbase’s mission is to create an open financial system for the world. This means we want to use cryptocurrency to bring economic freedom to people all over the world.

Selling geolocation data to ICE definitely detracts from that mission. Whoops!

I just think people seriously overestimate the cost of a mutex when implemented efficiently. Unlocking a mutex can be ~10-20x faster than fetching a value from main memory, or just a bit slower than a few integer operations. The way people talk about mutex operations you'd think that it's akin to hitting disk when it's actually a few orders of magnitude closer to hitting your L2 cache.
Yeah, the 30% number is way off. The vast majority of startups die off. That percentage is likely 90–95%, maybe even 99%.

If you include acquihired teams / sunsetted products, that number is even higher.
As a lawyer, I agree with you whole heartedly. Just because a legal decision recites a sound legal argument doesn't mean that that's the only sound legal argument they could have made. In the same way that a competent lawyer can make the best arguments for either side of a case, a judge could write multiple opinions for the same case that have different outcomes. And all could be just as legitimate from a logic and legal standpoint. But the judge chooses what opinion to write and what outcome they want. All of this makes the study of law kind of silly, because you study a bunch of case law and pretend that there's consistency or logic that ties them together, but really it's largely driven by the individual personalities more than some platonic ideal of what the law should be. It's a liberal art, not a science.

I literally cannot parse this sentence, can you rephrase?
If you can't see this article as left-biased, then you have some serious blinders on. If you're willing to take them off for a second, here are some major bias flags:

* It only quotes one legal expert, Hajin Kim, who paints the ruling in a negative light. There are no quotes from any other legal expert with a differing viewpoint.

* It quotes from the environmental defense fund, which is on the spectrum as extremely leftwing: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-environmental-defense-fund...

* It puts high priority towards telling us how the feelings of environmental groups got hurt: "Environmental groups will be deeply concerned by the outcome as historically the 19 states that brought the case have made little progress on reducing their emissions - which is necessary to limit climate change."

* It quotes from a U.N. official, which is of course only going to have negative things to say about it. The U.N. could care less about whether a policy hurts America. The BBC also fails to mention how similar policies in the EU have led to more dependence on Russian oil, which was absolutely disastrous in hindsight. Don't knock out your current energy infrastructure when you have nothing to replace it with.

* The BBC focuses on what it perceives as the Supreme court bucking decades of precedent: "For decades, the Supreme Court has held that judges should generally defer to government agencies when interpreting federal law."

* The BBC says absolutely nothing about how the other side feels about this ruling, another major sign of their bias. Take a look at a conservative source: https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-against-b...

“We joined WV to fight the EPA’s overreach & challenged the agency’s overly-broad interpretation allowing them to regulate almost any part of the economy, the consequences would lead to higher utility bills, job loss and overall increased energy prices. This is a huge win for MO!”

“This is a big victory for small businesses and a big defeat for the Biden administration and the regulatory state,” Ortiz said in a statement provided to The Daily Wire. “Whether it’s greenhouse gas emissions, Covid lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or scores of other issues, the Biden administration keeps claiming authority it does not possess, as the Supreme Court ruled today.”

The BBC doesn't care at all about the sheer economic damage that would have been dealt to the relevant states. The BBC also doesn't care at all about the fact that the federal bureaucracy has grown staggeringly in size and power over the past decades, or what that means for our constitutional republic. The BBC doesn't care that our courts have been ruling very much for the left for the past several decades and we are just starting to see a reversal back towards the center. And that's fine. The BBC is in Britain and shouldn't be expected to care about these things. But please don't pretend they are not left-biased on this issue.
> Salesforce vs. Siebel being a great example of exactly that.

While I agree with your statement, I had to look that up because it sounds interesting. In 1999, the year Salesforce was founded, Siebel was the dominant player in the CRM field, holding 45% of the market, so not precisely a small company.

More than a budget war against a deal-with-the-devil startup, what killed Siebel was its inertia. Siebel sold expensive in-your-premises software, while Salesforce sold SAAS, and emphasized a cheaper cloud model. Siebel didn't react until 2003(!), when it released its first cloud version. By tht time, the expertise of cloud solutions of Salesforce made Siebel look like an amateur.

Siebel surpassed 1 billion revenue in 2000, while Salesforce did it until 2009. They had their chance.

I still agree that even if a small company did everything right, another one with more money and no fear of heavy losses would eat their lunch even if their product was inferior.

You can kinda do this on your mobile phone (works on both android and iOS) by automatically silencing all calls that are not in your contact list. Works a treat for me.
The feature is to silence unknown callers. If you know the numbers that they're calling from, you can simply add them as contacts. As a whole, I think the feature is worth the tradeoffs.
Nobody needs to justify forking a project to other people.
IMO the "issue" that the concept of a free remote storage/backup makes sense, while doing random things on your own computer doesn't have much value for a lot of people.

> I believe that we should reject/ignore all regulations as we are only bound by laws passed by Congress.

Wouldn't this be self-contradictory if a law passed by Congress tells you to follow regulations that are put in place by some unelected officials?

If someone has the power, he also has the power to delegate. I'm not 100% sure about US, but usually that's what parliaments do in regards to regulations and ministries — politicians delegate to subject matter professionals.

The point is that in a world of natural variation and risk, we draw a line somewhere and call the other side unacceptable and this side acceptable.

What we have presently is no line at all for foreign vessels; I happen to agree that it would be better to have the US one.

When I see that it always seems to me that the real issue is the CEO has made a conscious choice to pick profit over doing the right thing, and wants employees who dislike this choice to leave.

American country music has been heavily influenced by African Americans since the beginning (often without recognition, though that's starting to change.) The banjo is based on African instruments, and many musicians like Huddie Ledbetter, Elizabeth Cotten, Mississippi John Hurt, Arnold Shultz, and DeFord Bailey helped shape the genre. It's great to see this popularity in Africa--in a weird way, it's almost like coming full circle.

Based on the way my body responds and reviewing lab results after trying different diets, I am of the opinion that it has more to do with processed foods versus minimally/unprocessed foods. I don’t think whether it is plant or meat/dairy based really matters that much nutritionally. Enriched flour, is plant based but by no means do I believe that to be healthy. Same goes for sausage and bacon, too processed. N of 1 but since I stopped consuming processed food and stopped worrying about cholesterol while restricting calories, eating plenty of fruit & veggies, and exercising, I have actually lowered my ldl cholesterol by 40 points. Triglycerides were fine. Dr was thrilled, didn’t have the heart to tell her I didn’t follow her advice.

A friend in Linkoping showed me his utility closet where they tie into the city hot water system. I was surprised, they seemed too far from the center of town. But I guess the system of insulation and buried pipes makes it reasonable. I believe they had two metered taps into the system, one for heating the home and one for their pool. I assume the metering is based on the amount of water pumped into/out of the house. Is that correct or does it work from temperature differences?
There have been bugs (still unresolved) about restoring purchases, in each case, the users have written to me, and I've immediately provided them coupons or a workaround.

Regarding stability, there sadly are some crashes on ios which I haven't managed to figure out at all.

I'm hoping that will help with the stability.

I would like to introduce you to Senator Joe Manchin. No substantive climate change legislation is going to pass the Senate. Stop pretending like it's possible.
we’ve had it here in the us for long time.

privacy forums were recommending people run magnets over the stripes on id’s at least 10 years ago when companies started swiping them.

is the new digital id terrifying? probably. but honestly from a privacy perspective, the way companies and government working together suck up all of our digital movements is terrifying if privacy matters at all to us.

to me, this was an obvious next step considering the world we’ve decided to build. we’re doing this. government employees. corporation employees.

we’re allowing power to consolidate at a rapid pace. we can’t decimate the separation of governments and companies, then build company after company after company which heavily rely on human data for their profits, and then simultaneously be shocked when this happens.

either we have privacy from both governments and companies or we don’t. particularly in a world where we refuse to hold power to any sort of reasonable standards (and by “power” i mean governments, corporations, wealthy individuals, individuals with power backing them, organizations, etc…)

i guess my ramble really boils down to this: many of us on this exact forum are building the tools. many of us on this forum are directly enabling power of all kinds to consolidate. it isn’t clear to me how we can complain about it too.
The last forum I joined was about 12 years ago. It was all around Karaoke and building your own systems. It helped me build a semi-pro setup. I think the forum is still around, it’s just I have not been on it.

"We did, and that's the point."

Then why are you misrepresenting it to mean something that it doesn't? Only one house is meant to represent people.

"Also, it's only contentious to those who are deliberately attempting to gerrymander."

Maybe for the general idea. But I can see implementation ideas being contentious. That's my point - the solutions are likely to contain biases, and there's going to be opposition to that.

"Interesting that that all your counter examples here are about giving people rights to vote. People having the right to vote is fundamental to democracy. Seems your view on democracy is of the 'only the right sort of people should be allowed to vote' variety, pun intended."

Please name a democracy that has unlimited voting rights. All democracies have some limits. Requiring that someone is a citizen is a damn low bar. Losing rights for felonies can be debated, but that's not too uncommon either. The purpose of those most basic restrictions is do that society does not become influenced by the criminal elements (you're banned from office too) or from outside influence. And guess what, those restrictions were democratically implemented. So please stop with the attacks and more righteous than thou attitude. Please state some argument beyond "fundamental".
> Forcing all of your code to be GPL is like saying “I am on a diet, so now I will force everyone else be on the same diet. Freedom!”

Nobody is forcing anyone to use the code.

If they chose to use it they have to abide by the licensing terms because that’s how it works. If the people laboring for free to produce this code don’t want it to be used in a proprietary application then tough luck, write the code yourself.

Every time the GPL comes up someone drags out this same old dead horse to beat on a little bit more.
Small town / suburban areas can be the best with large supermarkets or dedicated markets, as long as you have a car.

> People are becoming even lactose intolerant.

This isn't new, and certainly isn't some crisis of the last 100 years. Historically only a minority of the planet has ever been lactase persistent into adulthood. It's a well-understood genetic trait, not some product of gut microbes.
If you want variety of bacteria, then the highest is probably in milk kefir, and the second highest in aged, hard cheese.

Kefir, we don't even know how many or what bacteria it hosts, but we know it's a lot. Different studies have reported wildly different communities, but all of them with upwards of a dozen species. For example:

> Sequencing-Based Analysis of the Bacterial and Fungal Composition of Kefir Grains and Milks from Multiple Sources

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Aged hard cheese, unless made with raw milk, is usually inocculated with a couple of strains of lactic acid bacteria, but during aging a varied flora develops, of "adventitious bacteria" and yeasts from the environment.

To be honest though, I made kefir for a couple of years and I've been making cheese for about four now and I make the occasional yogurt now and then, but I'm still not convinced about the health claims of "probiotics". And I'm not the only one to be skeptical:

> A growing probiotics market has led to the need for stricter requirements for scientific substantiation of putative benefits conferred by microorganisms claimed to be probiotic.[7] Although numerous claimed benefits are marketed towards using consumer probiotic products, such as reducing gastrointestinal discomfort, improving immune health,[8] relieving constipation, or avoiding the common cold, such claims are not supported by scientific evidence,[7][9][10] and are prohibited as deceptive advertising in the United States by the Federal Trade Commission.[11] As of 2019, numerous applications for approval of health claims by European manufacturers of probiotic dietary supplements have been rejected by the European Food Safety Authority for insufficient evidence of beneficial mechanism or efficacy.[8][12]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotic

Btw, you know what elese has plenty of lactic acid bacteria, therefore probiotics? Sourdough. Alhtough if you make kefir, you can use it instead of sourdough as a bread starter.
Chinese posed as Texans on social media to attack rare earths rivals
Understanding that you don't know everything about or speak for the industry, the question I've had for a few years now is whether this is a deliberate tactic (I've little doubt telcos want to shed wireline service), or just a mess with no clear out?

Because the problem's not just with landline but with any direct-dialed PSTN telecoms system. I don't want a landline or mobile phone any more. The situation's well past simple cord-cutting.

It's been about three years since I stumbled across this quote which confirms that at least someone on the inside is aware that the present situation is eroding all trust in the system, and that this is an existential threat:

[S]ince mid-2015, a consortium of engineers from phone carriers and others in the telecom industry have worked on a way to [stop call-spoofing], worried that spam phone calls could eventually endanger the whole system. “We’re getting to the point where nobody trusts the phone network,” says Jim McEachern, principal technologist at the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS.) “When they stop trusting the phone network, they stop using it.”

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/05/how-to-stop-spam-rob...

(From an earlier HN comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21542926

Stir-Shake may have reduced levels of spam, I've no way of knowing. But the level it's at remains intolerable and a real financial risk to individuals and businesses. I'm personally aware of several people who've been scammed of thousands of dollars within the past year.

Cut phone service and that threat disappears, along with all the attendant billing bullshit and customer service nightmares.

Is the industry aware of this and what if anything does it plan to do?
Agreed. The original essay is mostly a critique of (white) women's liberation study groups, although the same dynamics can be seen in other groups as well. A good counterpoint is "The Tyranny of Tyranny," which is also a bit dated.

Whilst I agree with most of what you wrote, you need to adjust your thinking on this bit:

> ... most Comcast users only reach about 1/4 of Comcast's monthly data cap, which corresponds to an average use of 1 Mbps ...

Household internet consumption, on average, varies greatly during the day. Most bandwidth usage is from streaming video, and that is mostly done when people are awake, and for a lot of people only in the evenings.

Your 1% calculation is made with the assumption that usage is constant, and is spread evenly across every minute of the day/month. In reality it is mostly all happening in a six hour period (that's an educated guess). Starlink would have to service this peaky traffic, your numbers are 4x out.
A few years ago I programmed my phone.com VoIP lines to route any call not on my whitelist through a virtual switchboard: Dial 7 to speak with me. I haven't had a robocall since.

It's an inconvenience if a company wants to use automation to return my call. I can turn this off, temporarily. As I see it, it's stupid of any legitimate company to imitate a robocall for any reason. I don't walk up to cops carrying a fake gun; they shouldn't behave like spammers.
There must be two pipes, one insulated hot side, and one cold side, right? Otherwise the “used” water would cool the hot water going to the next house.

Such a system would presumably be metered by volume, and it’d incentive the right behavior (extracting as much use from each gallon of water as possible).
