Well it's a continuous process: today the fees make up maybe three percent of revenue, but that fluctuates as transaction space demand changes, and as the coinbase halves every few years.

But your point is good - miners are not really in a traditional supply/demand relationship with transactors, because block space is perfectly inelastic. There will be 7 slots per second (amortized), no matter what. Although... a petulant miner could artificially restrict this supply, by perhaps declaring that they'll never mine a transaction that pays less than X fee. This would only apply to the blocks that they mine, but the effect on overall supply could be nontrivial?
> You can predict, like clockwork, how the justices will vote on any case with any sort of political implication based on who appointed them. Isn't that distressing? Doesn't that signal that maybe there's a major problem here?

To be fair, you can do this with judges on both sides of the partisan divide.

It's good and appropriate to recognize that the Court is a fundamentally political institution and not some mere interpreter of law, and being distressed over that implies that the Court could be some idealized, nonpolitical institution. That's not a useful way to model the Court and never has been.
> I'm dead certain Congress couldn't before Roe, between Roe and Dobbs, or after Dobbs, not w/o a Constitutional amendment.

Well, they certainly thought they could: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Choice_Act
They will try, but a decade is far too brief for that to happen. Swift was introduced eight years ago and there are still plenty of apps, especially ones belong to large corporations, that contain Objective-C legacy code. Including Apple's own apps. Maybe once SwiftUI gets its Swift 5 moment when there's a release that's stable enough going forward.
I don't think having 200+ individual autarkies is going to produce net benefits for humanity. Really, the once in a century pandemic is worth having the other 99 years of high efficiency supply chains.
Russia is indeed the main threat in our neck of the woods. And with the regimes they tend to run, lack of easily accessible digital registry is not something that will save you from falling down the stairs and accidentally landing on couple of bullets with the back of your head.

More importantly, we already have these registries! There's already a digital identity verification service in place that, according to our law, is sufficient to identify a person to the same degree an ID card / passport would in person. It's there, I've used it as an end-user, I've set up integrations with it for my clients. The issue is that if I want to identify myself to a German institution for whatever reason, the only way I know of involves burning a whole lot of dead dinosaur juice to get to Berlin, standing in an orderly queue for a while, and presenting my passport in person. And probably filling out couple forms along the way somewhere.
So we should just ignore the Constitution because our elected representatives, who we can actually kick out of office, don't want to do their jobs?

> In the US at least, the word "diet" always implies some kind of calorie reduction and specific food choices.

In other words... exactly what the article recommends. Cutting out processed and fried foods eliminates a lot of the standard diet the average American eats. It might sound moderate to just suggest those two things, but it's really not.

Reducing or eliminating processed foods means little to no pancakes, breakfast cereals of any kind, toast, frozen meals, pop tarts, chips, granola bars, sodas, shelf-stable juices, Starbucks lattes, mac 'n cheese, cured meats, energy bars, and on and on and on.

Likewise, for fried foods that would mean little to no french fries, curly fries, onion rings, potato chips, fried chicken, fish and chips, corn dogs, doughnuts, churros, etc.

Maybe to those on HN would find it easy to cut out those foods, but a large amount of Americans eat a substantial amount of those things every day due to their availability, affordability, and addictive qualities.

What we end up with when aiming "to cut out junk like processed and fried foods" really isn't that far off from low carb diets, paleo, vegan, "Mediterranean", keto, or even carnivore. They all restrict or eliminate the things the author of the article suggests cutting out in such few words.

> The term "dieting" is associated with being in a caloric deficit, ostensibly to lose weight.

Do you mean to tell me that vegans aren't eating a diet unless they're trying to lose weight? What about those eating low carb for possible longevity reasons rather than calorie restriction or weight loss?

Honestly, as someone who has lived in the US their entire lives, I've never heard of this strange parallel definition of what it means to be on a diet. People can be on diets for any number of reasons, whether it's for longevity, inflammation, athletic performance, or weight loss. It's contextual. If a person's intent is to be on some kind of specific diet (and as I went over already, a no-processed-no-fried diet is actually quite specific), then they are on a diet.

Yes, you're right. I was initially thinking this came down to an intelligible clause similar to how people argue OSHA is unconstitutional due to competiting intelligible clauses. My failure was thinking new and existing pollutants needed to have the same solution, and the constraints for arriving to the correct solution were in competition.

Upon further review: a reading of the SCOTUS pdf combined with the referenced laws, I do now believe this was a bad conclusion.

Major questions doctrine seems unbased in an measurable way. Instead, the court should have ruled that the EPA currently had the authority to do this as it was clearly granted in law, and if Congress wanted to limit it, then they would need to do so legislatively. Not the current decision which says that Congress probably didn't mean what they wrote into law because they dun deligated a lot of power.

Edit: someone else wrote this, which does make sense if their supposition is. Regardless, I'll need to read more of the laws beyond 111d.

> No it isn’t. The Clean Air Act is all about requiring polluters to use control technology, and requiring new sources to use better and more expensive control technology than existing sources. That’s the program Congress designed.
Restructuring the energy industry to address climate is a different solution to a different problem, related only by the commonality of emissions into air. It’s like using drug laws to regulate processed foods because both involve harm caused by ingesting things.
> We don't need desal, we have plenty of water for people to live here.

For how long?

Why are you advocating for scarcity? Scarcity causes conflict. We live in a world where we don't have to fear scarcity. Why not advocate for desal AND better water use?
So they also have bad history of greedy private enterprises on which they don't have a say.

The idea is that there's a value in having an enterprise(the government) with centralised record keeping because they own that government and have the power to change managers on predefined reviews(elections) and they have a history of forcefully changing managers who try to stick around despite not being wanted.

What do you do when a private enterprise misbehaves? Mind you, the governmental duties are often monopolistic by nature. What do you do then? Sniper the CEO?

It's much more socially acceptable to riot against the government and burn government building than assaulting company HQ.

I can fathom a migration. It's just not pretty & is expensive. The experience coming out of source forge was not pleasant, and that was before the project even had a CI/CD. The early days of Github were game changers for FOSS, no more consolidating email patches together, etc.. So, this goes to whether Github still has a reputation and a brand for being a good home to FOSS. The argument that copilot, which automates what is otherwise an available and a manual process, and lifts just lines of code and small sections - is not at all "reproducing software". It's like someone used the "pad left" functionality from someones Javascript on their web page. Being able to do that is part of the point, it is a feature of openness, it's not a corporate back-door, market monopoly enabling flaw.

I'm curious if anyone can find references, though when I researched market share of code hosting companies a few years ago (for a private company that was moving off of BitBucket), it turned out that there were more private companies on Gitlab than Github. Github though had a big advantage for hosting FOSS. We wound up moving to Microsoft Azure because the scrum boards and Microsoft integration were appealing and familiar to the company. I don't see it being analagous as Windows desktop control in the early 2000's.
That is shockingly young, like the GP I had assumed MSI would've been designed in when the PLIC was designed (i.e. ≤ 2019). The PLIC doc says something about "Interrupt Gateways", did those not make it?
Libertarianism as in free markets and the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It includes the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

Note that this precludes any right to harm others, defraud them, enslave them, etc. It precludes enshrining religion into the law.

It includes all are equal under the law, women have an equal right to vote, gays can marry, people can smoke marijuana, etc.

As with all philosophies, it doesn't give guidance to all situations, and should be leavened with pragmatism.
Reading over the article and this thread again, I realize that this isn't the 'opposite direction', this is exactly what the article is aiming at.
Ask HN: Are longer pitch-letters sometimes better than short ones?
Hi HN!

I'm trying to help my wife secure some funding for her Ph.D. research. Right now she is splitting time between her funded project, and the project she came here to work on, (one is cell bio/tissue growth, the other is space medicine/space physiology). They are both interesting, but very different, and she ends up losing a lot of energy shifting gears between the two.

The space research is what she is trying to fund, and I suggested that she try the Musk Foundation, as she spent some time working at SpaceX before coming here. Her research is also very relevant to their long term goals, and ticks quite a few of Musk's philosophical boxes.

After about a year of waiting for her to find the time, I decided to go ahead and draft a proposal for her, haha. It went well and she and her advisor both like it, but we can't decide on length. We have a single-page version and a four-page version. They both read like letters, but the four page version looks more like a research paper and includes some figures and tables.

The single page is very good for the length, but it's a complex topic, and we have no idea what the readers background might be...not much info out there on the Musk Foundation. For that reason, I think the four pager is much stronger, and the first page of it is compelling, but will anyone read it at that length? I don't have much experience pitching like this, and would greatly appreciate any advice from the community.

One example of top down mobilization was the mass manufacture of aircraft for World War II. This Fox Business video [1] shows how Roosevelt's advisors found the top industry guys to analyze the artisanal manufacture of B-17 bombers, design and build an assembly line factory, and mass produce the bombers at a rate of one an hour.

After the war, Ford made a promotional film, "The Story of Willow Run" [2], that shows the progression from soybean farm to aircraft factory, the redesign of the bomber for manufacturing, and the assembly line processes. The YouTube comments from factory worker descendants are fascinating.

First of all, thanks for browsing /newest!

I don't know if this will help with the annoyance but you might be under a misconception about how HN handles reposts. If a story hasn't had significant attention yet, then reposts are fine here. That's because missing out on a good, interesting story is much worse. (I'm not saying the current story is a good, interesting one—I haven't looked. But the rule is designed for the general case.)

I mention this because it doesn't look like any of the submissions in the search results you linked to had gotten significant attention.
There are many ways to approach requirements, how to document them, how to manage them, break them into work. You'll get a thousand opinions of how to do this, but this sounds like the key you are missing - a list of required functions. It doesn't matter too much where you document these, just that you do document them. Later, if you can perform those functions in the app, it works. Otherwise, it doesn't.

Personally, I like the approach of documenting requirements from the end user's perspective. Most organizations have landed here, in my experience - Start with the customer, define their needs, document what they need to do, what steps they need to take, what they put into the system, and what they get out.

Then go deeper to design and code technical solutions to those requirements. Break it down into workable chunks, and work one piece at a time. You can put aside the big picture while working a specific task, but once it is coded, step back up to the big picture and test the product as the user would, actually perform the tasks as they would. If the tech work you performed matches up with the user-based requirements, you should be good. From there on out, iterate and improve.

I dunno, where I live hospital care (including birthing) is free (tax-payer funded) for everyone. In which case it seems to make more sense to say that everyone can afford it, not that nobody can. It's the things the state doesn't pay for that people can't afford, not the things it does.

This is based on the IEEE 754 totalOrder predicate. If you look at how this function works on binary floats, it turns out that it sorts numbers as 0xffff, 0xfffe, 0xfffd, ..., 0x8001, 0x8000, 0x0000, 0x0001, 0x0002, ..., 0x7ffd, 0x7ffe, 0x7fff [1]. This is not a bad sort order, and the reason why the NaNs are split up are because of the existence of signed NaN.

When it comes to floating point, it's probably better to bow to what IEEE 754 specifies (if it specifies something) than do what you come up yourself, even if it's less useful. x != x holding true for NaNs is another example here.

[1] Actually, the sort order of NaN payloads is implementation-defined, but given the nice bit representation mentioned above is easy to implement, you're probably unlikely to see any other implementation.
I’m not sure how much of a performance hit ARC traffic would be. Though I think at least some of Unity’s DOTS systems really on structs instead of reference counted objects so it shouldn’t be a problem there.
I've noticed a lot of folks think they can't afford children when they absolutely can. But they have unrealistic expectations about housing, daycare, and education.

Housing: children used to be expected to share rooms. Now it's not the norm -- but there's no reason it can't become the norm again. When you talk to your parents or grandparents, they often had large families living in tiny houses.

Daycare: children used to be tended to by family members or religious communities. Now we isolate ourselves from family by moving far away, don't join communities (religious or otherwise), and for whatever reason don't ask mom and dad for help with the kids. Also, the age at which we trust children to stay at home without supervision has risen over time. These are all choices we're making that make children much more expensive.

Education: k-12 is free in the US, but lots of folks want private education for their kids. That's fine, I do too, but I realize it's not a required cost. University is definitely expensive, but loans are widely available. And, of course, not every child needs to go to an elite university.

These are the choices making it difficult to afford children, but they are mostly choices we don't have to make.
I've dealt with large scale projects/equipment before. Most people don't realize that request like this are common.

If the source code and/or precompiled binaries that aren't dependent on an external set of services (or even an OCI image) isn't available, then one has to assume that said software can become inaccessible at any given moment and remain that way.

Sometimes, even if the authors stop development on a project like that but have provided said ways of actually self-hosting it, it can still be used even despite the technology being dead for a while, until a migration path to something else can be found.

Corporations are likely to retire projects eventually, release new major breaking changes and deprecate old API versions, or get acquired and have degraded service after a decade or so. Individual developers are likely to have limited resources to allot to the project and limited capacity to maintain packages long term, with a few exceptions, as well as life circumstances or priorities shifting can have a way larger impact on the future of the project.

Thus, using any non-open-source package carries longevity risks, using any SaaS solution that cannot be self-hosted presents even larger risks. Many people don't care though and will still gladly use either. Something along the lines of: "Why care about where this will be in 10 years if I'll be at a different company in a year, but want to solve this problem now?"
