Level 10 (pulling the level speeds up the trolley, reducing the suffering of the 5 people who are going to get run over anyway) is basically the argument for legalizing assisted suicide.

Of course, I pulled the lever (I guess it's a bit different in that I didn't get consent from the people, but presumably the difference in their lifetime was miniscule, and the entire remainder would have been dread of impending death anyway)
Wouldn't rollback of kernel be a choice in grub menu?

It's pretty standard for all distros to have that choice.
Risky play, if I’m lucky and inflation goes up 1000% I’ll seem downright smart for counting on the breakdown of society!
I never understood the phone sex pull. It’s just a voice you can’t see anything and the person on the other end could be hideous.
When someone says, hey forget postgresql and just use SQLite, and someone else says good luck if you hit n rows, and someone says it can easily handle n+m rows with x memory …

This is a good example of how devs get things wrong. The argument between which database to use because you might hit the row limit has zero benefit to the user. It's devs wanting to avoid future work to migrate from one database to another; a problem most apps will never actually see.

There's even an aphorism about this exact thing in dev: YAGNI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it

Solve the problem you have, not thr problem you want.
People struggling to pay the bills usually don't have the option to "just move to a lower cost of living area", because moving costs money and they also don't have the funds to cover the time it takes to find a new job (presumably paying more relative to the cost of living? how?) in the new location.
> . One reason I've always preferred Ubuntu over Red Hat for servers is that with Red Hat/Centos essentially everything I care about is perpetually and hopelessly out of date and obsolete

This is exactly why you choose it. Lesser chance of insanity.
We have our own datacentres. Lucky enough to have got them up and running pre cloud era. If we were any later we would be full cloud but the reality is we outcompete everyone on price in our space because of it.
> We should at least consider the possibility this is just a bunch of lowlifes trying to cash in with lawsuits on stuff that is sadly routine in many blue collar work settings.

If it's "sadly routine" and also unlawful then the people are not "cashing in" but are using the legal system to enforce their rights and ensure that companies are held to account for unlawful conduct. Saying that Tesla doesn't have an especially outsized problem is entirely beside the point. It's not a valid defense to say "sure my activities were unlawful but they weren't much more unlawful than other people - you're just picking on me because I'm high profile."

I don't know whether or not what they did was in fact unlawful, but deciding that is the whole point of the lawsuit.
Problem with this is that pulling the lever is an action. Which I actively choose not to take, but to save my self. Or to kill a cat to make a point.
Can this run a qemu Windows x86 VM?
I always assume trolley problems are in a vacuum without context. Otherwise for every one of them you have to ask, "what is the background of each person on each track" to make a proper choice.

I assume the information they have told me is the only thing relevant and everything else is equal.
56, that was quite fun. Pre-corporate internet vibes. It'd be cool if there were a way to see a one page view of the stats at the end (and where you fit with each) instead of having to redo to see again.
In the olden times there were scientists actually researching project management, measuring, changing inputs, performing experiments, probably at IBM or NASA.

We don’t do this anymore, because IT is now less costly, and sometimes doing the thing is faster than writing the plan for it. So Agile won. Probably deterministic methodologies got stuck in a local minimum, which was ridiculously expensive to run compared to Agile. I still have my book of IBM RUP process.
My reasoning goes something like this:

Both sections of the DMCA don't protect against tools (and trafficking of tools) that can make piracy easier in an indirect way or somehow pave the way for ease of access to pirate conduct. What they only forbid is circumventing copyright protection systems that protect a specific work. Same goes for the anti-trafficking provisions.

The statue reads "without the authority of the copyright owner" in the end. That sentence implies that the bypassed protections must protect a specific copyrighted work, not copyright in general. Otherwise there would be no "copyright owner" to authorise the bypassing as the law is currently written.
Can’t help but think of the guys writing this behind the scenes:

If you disagree I wish you’d bother to tell me why so I can learn from you.
These trolley problems are the stuff of nightmares wherein one becomes a world leader.

If all outcomes are horrible, then your lever pulls or inactions will always be subject to valid condemnation. If you take a risk, you are judged by the outcome, not whether your choice was a good calculation.
Frameworks are tools
I pulled the lever. I didn't want to condemn the passengers to an eternity of monotony.
They did release promo, the first trailer came out in 2019. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flURw76_UCU

You can see they had settled on June 2020 as the release date, but, you know what happened next. That release date was fully locked in until it became clear COVID wasn't going away.

There were other, earlier delays: the film was initially scheduled for 2019, but they spent most of that year doing reshoots.

I think the issue is probably that NOAA data is gathered via a bunch of agreements with other countries, and at least some of them stipulate non-commercial use. Unsure about how vigorously that’s actually enforced.

Can't believe how many people would prefer condemning passengers to an eternal trolley ride than explode them. True evil right there
if you want to stream the video... you need hosting in a neutral country like Switzerland and you will pay a lot for it, especially if it gets any attention at all and the unfriendly government starts to dDos it. You probably want to have it as a set of torrents, mirrors, and pop it up in different locations. Don't rely on a single locale. Again, 6Tb is not a lot. Make a site with nothing but links, hold the data in mirrors and torrents. Also, only pay for hosting in crypto and use fake EVERYTHING. fake name fake IP, fake browser when you set it up. Let paranoia guide you. If you think you're being too paranoid, you're not being paranoid enough.

I think a lot of people would pay money in the situation. You sending money to someone whose suffering you never even saw in Guinea and never hearing whether it helped is indeed a different thing than this trolly problem.
I will take action to save myself. I will not take action to decide between others.

Apart from stupid cat problem...

This kinda misses the mirror problems, where out comes are switched.
I wonder how many dips we can count Apple on.

First they make money from the hardware.

Then they charge money for iCloud storage beyond 5 GB so you can actually get your hardware backed up (I presume this counts as a dip if console "charging online service subscriptions" counts).

Then they charge developers a hundred bucks per year to get application on the App Store.

Then they take 15/30% off of all digital sales.

And finally they charge the developers for keyword search ads on the App Store (so that when I search for "Minecraft", my first hit is an ad for "The Ants: Underground Kingdom").

Am I forgetting something?
There's a fun word that means (paraphrasing) "removing the middlemen from things"

Movie stars are not the top draw anymore. Franchises and brands are. People used to go to see an Arnold Swarzenegger movie or a Dustin Hoffman movie. Today they go to see a Star Wars movie or an Avengers movie. Actors are still important of course, but the stars are replaceable.

Stars who get their fame from a franchise tend to have a hard time selling tickets outside the franchise. (Harrison Ford being the exception of course.)
Maybe the best thing to do is play the game of diagonals and never get comfortable anywhere.
Not to mention a lot of people measure account their wealth in more than just money.

Reminds me of Richard Posner, former Chief Justice of the Seventh Appelate court. His essay on how poor people have no wealth so you need the threat of prison to keep them in line. And how middle class people you only need the threat of impoverishment to keep them in line. So you can just fine them. And wealthy people only need the threat of loss of reputation to keep them in line.

Which is to say Posner is an idiot that knows nothing of poor people. Because all an honest poor person owns is his reputation. Where Musk... when you are that wealthy someones always going to overlook your transgressions.
I thought the consensus is that speed bumps don't help, except in the very near vicinity of the bump? That's what I observe anyway.

You're assuming free will though. It could be that nobody made their bed, and you're just doing what was preordained, but chalking it up to free will to feel better.

What if the elimination of the societal cohesion and trust was the product of a cynical, self-serving multi-decade political movement and propaganda campaign, and had only a little to do with pulling the lever, but the people who pulled the lever got most of the blame for it?
In virtu's defence, it's difficult to avoid overthinking things in this day and age. We've been conditioned to look for the overlap with our politics in so much that it consumes many of us. Culture wars take heavy psychological tolls on the participants.
Why do you assume what's rational and what's not? There are plenty of situations where arriving sooner is more rational and important than saving gas.

(leaving aside legality or safety)
From an online source: "If sun exposure produces slight pinkness, the amount of vitamin D produced in response to exposure of the full body is equivalent to ingesting 10,000-25,000 IU."

So, getting more than 10,000 IU a day on a regular basis is crazy! But if you're severely deficient, you can take large initial doses.
Yeah this seems likely to me as well, I was more or less just making a point that there are more than one ways to be compliant with certain parts of the DMA.
This is absolutely amazing. Just donated some too :)
Values don't mean anything if you're dead. Five complete strangers? Knowing how terrible people are, they would probably save themselves too if they could. Every man for himself.
The original trolly problem showed that people find it less repressible to kill people when no action is taken. It's presented both ways. "Pull the lever and kill five to save one" and "pull the lever to kill one and save five". You'd think that people would answer to kill one person in both cases, but it turns out people are biased against taking action (pulling the lever) regardless of how you word it, and so when it's worded as kill five if you do nothing, a lot of people will do nothing.

c'mon. the only way to build a coherent web app these days is to hire one coder freelance, then work him daily for 15 years into an early grave. Then build version 2.0.
But the whole point of the article is that the apps are bad no matter the tools.
One should first know how to produce high quality in the first place before thinking about how to produce it more easily.
All the brushes in the world won't let me paint like Leonardo da Vinci.
It makes more sense when you see the box office numbers which is around $3 billion world wide for all three movies. Ideally, The Hobbit is a single streaming feature movie, but Hollywood rightfully saw an opportunity for another “LOTR”.

I don’t remember where I read it, but the Tolkien clan was not a fan of either movie trilogy.
I think author is making the point that it always was interchangeable and that we've been over treating it as if it's always a disease.

Yes! This is also the issue that makes large cloud providers very hesitant to provide anything that even resembles “terminate services at a spending quota.” The cost of damaging an actual customers business is so so much greater than the (potential) customers FUD around uncontrolled spending.

We could also say the analogy is bad because not all of humanity can fit on a bus, but that would be a misunderstanding of what an analogy is for.

If Doctorow wanted a perfect analogy for our attitudes towards climate change, then he wouldn't use any analogy at all, he would talk directly about our attitudes to climate change.

The point of an analogy is to highlight a particular dynamic that both the analogy and the thing being analogised have in common.
> Money from subscriptions can be trivial compared with the profits earned by selling custom videos, sexting sessions and other forms of fan interaction that require more concerted engagement than simply posting to a feed.

In fact many subscriptions are free.

When I listen to people make OnlyFans the butt of a joke or otherwise deride its existence or of people “paying for porn, whyyyy”, it really neglects how that platform works and the marketing funnel. and that many people subscribing are not paying to consume content.

It neglects that a large percentage of the revenue is from other content creators supporting each other, or using a subscription to advertise on a more popular person’s page in their comments.

I’m fine normalizing discussions about both the supply side, where meeting someone attractive in person can easily result in a casual and unoffensive discussion about or introduction to their onlyfans, because its quite common.

and I’m fine normalizing discussion about the demand side, where we don't have to pretend its just “maladjusted men that we don't know”, compared to a distribution of everyone.

>Serious question from someone who lives on the east coast and understands little about almonds. Why doesn't this happen? Is the almond industry a particularly strong lobbying force?[..]

Blue Diamond Growers who are the largest co-op outfit growing and processing almonds in CA does have a lot of clout.

Their lobby is connected to the Climate Lobby. Others who are part of Climate Lobby include Campbell Soup company, many Silicon Valley tech companies and of course, the heaviest hitter of them all..Oil and Gas.

Ag in California is intimately close with the fossil fuel/oil and gas sector. We convert fossil fuels to calories. Why do you think we still run tractors on diesel and we still haven’t gotten autonomous electric ag robots tending our fields.

Also: https://slate.com/business/2010/10/what-a-california-almond-... : this is a good read and 12 years old. In 2020, Blue Diamond growers had 1.59 billion dollars in revenue.

And it’s actually worth a lot more(value added products) because it’s a co-op that purchases and processes a lot of almonds and takes care of over 80% of worlds supply of almonds.
The nickname is related to my real name, but I'll let you guess how. ;)
I would love to be in there. Truly.
Silly random thoughts that went through my head at this question

1) Many people's life savings is 0. A bargain!

2) If _I_ were one of the five people, I'd try and make it up to the lever puller. Lever-guy might even come out ahead.

3) If I pull this lever right away in question 3, if there are later questions about giving up my life savings, they'll be free. This might be the value lever pull! I might be kicking myself later for missing this deal.
Ask HN: What companies are likely to survive the coming recession?
Dear HN community,

I live in Germany::Berlin and work for a large multinational e-commerce company. Its share price dropped more than 70% last year. I specialize in backend/java.

Several questions:

-=-= How can I analyze the financial stability of the company? Or at least gain some insight?

-=-= What companies have some growth potential in 2022-2023?

-=-= Do you expect many backend developers to lose their jobs in 2022-2023?

-=-= What would be your strategy to develop your career (as backend developer)?

Thank you!
I think a lot of people would also be fully willing to pay not to have to witness five people get hit by a train
I had so much more here but I'll just leave this:

why do people call that tool "Godbolt"? it's "Compiler Explorer."

What did you answer for problem 6, where a rich man offers you money to pull the lever and kill someone else? Presumably, a rich man is likely to have more economic productivity than a random person.
Yeah, those systems have fun issues around elections here in Finland. Often there is advertisements around roads and our system works with each candidate having their own number. These are usually in nice circles with black text in white background for best visibility...
But you don’t have perfect information / certainty in this case. This is more akin to a mystery box trolly case, or a fuzzy one.
I killed 83 and I mostly sided with the majority.

I sometimes also assigned blame to those tied up, or at least agency; they could have prevented this situation, somehow, probably.
> SQL prohibits that, separating queries and data manipulation statements.

Under SQL Server, you can attach OUTPUT clause to INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE and effectively have a query that both modifies and returns data. Other DBMSes have similar capabilities.
What makes finance a failure here? Blockchains are still facilitating billions of dollars in volume per day across financial applications - DeFi - even with the drawdown. The projects collapsing are not using transparent blockchains or smart contracts, they are using centralized promises and opaque mechanisms, basically CeFi.
Nope. This really just tells Apple and Google that they have to offer a few more features and solutions to competitors than they currently do.
