> Because a lot of price hikes haven't been because of inflation. They've exceeded inflation. Another word for that is "profiteering" (or "price gouging"). It's the reason why it's typically iellgal to profiteer off of a natural disaster, for example.

> Put another way: Exxon, Chevron, etc are raising prices not because costs have increased but because they can. The record profits they've all recently announce bear that out.

This doesn't make any sense. It's purely a supply/demand issue. Oil is potentially the most liquid commodity in the world. If someone wants to price gauge, your competitors will sell for less. We haven't built a new refinery in the US since ~1979. The oil producers are basically maxed out on refining capacity and trust me, those guys want to sell as much oil as possible. They made record profits because there's a shortage of a critical resource and tons of demand.

The way to fix this is by increasing production capacity. If you've made it more expensive to expand production, it should be obvious that you cannot expand.

> Taxation diverts money from corporate profits to the government who can then use that money for the people who are most vulnerable because of, say, the skyrocketing cost of gas and rent.

The ~30T deficit says otherwise. Our interest payments on that debt alone is ~$400B annually and will only grow. That's over HALF our military budget in interest payments. The government has done a terrible job of managing money.

Inflation comes from government spending. Look at the Fed's balance sheet! If you double the amount of dollars, but there's the same number of goods/services...you would think dollars would be worth less.

Water will be available since we could do desalination, it may just be expensive.
Out of curiosity, why is it only 5M and not 500M? You would think the same vulnerability applied to every server, not just one or one cluster, if they are using automated deployments
Look around should be powering quite a bit more than just look around in the app. Google uses their street view data as a source for POI data, lane assist data, signage data, speed limit data and far more.

I've seen more than one case where Google has clearly used OCR on streetview imagery to add business to their database (OCR typos and all). They also OCR signs to improve driving directions, and update street names, and they also use OCR to extract speed limit data for roads, as most places don't have a single easily accessible database of speed limits.

I think it's reasonable to assume that Apple is gonna be doing the same things. Sure it also feeds some pretty UI, but if you wanna know where things are, then photographing the entire world is a pretty robust approach.
> It is all about tangibility.

What if every weather app showed, next to actual temperature, what the temperature is modelled to be if climate change had been avoided (kept CO2 ppm to 1950s levels, say)?
I'm not sure I see the difference between zero trust networking and authorize everything. Seems like they are saying pretty much the same thing, differing in positive vs negative assertions.
My local Starbucks checks every laptop. Customers with Windows OS on a laptop are asked to leave. Windows VMs are okay if not fullscreen.
I haven't said that the JVM would be corrupt by NPE. But C program state would also not be, and you could do the same handling as in Java.

But if your code invoked an NPE or bounds check, then it means either the algorithm is incorrect or the data it processes are already corrupt by incorrect processing earlier. Continuing in such situation increases the risk, because you don't have any guarantees which parts of the application state might have been already corrupted by the bug. I've seen many many times an NPE was a result of a shared data corruption caused by a data race. JVM does not guarantee thread state isolation, so one bug can break the state of all threads.

> Log it and handle another request

That gives you only a false sense of safety. A Java app (and any other app) may die for many other reasons you can't handle. You need to be prepared for that anyway if you want a reliable service. But if you are prepared for that, and your server can restart in 0.1 second, you don't win anything by recovering from NPEs.

iknowwhat... for the 1st time got correctly one of the torrents I'm downloading right now but misses the others, and only one of their ip locators finds the right city although it royally misses the postal code (all others place me either some 65Km or about 700Km away from my actual location). If someone sent a non nuclear missile using that data I would almost certainly only hear a distant bang.
Do they not investigate products aimed at adults? Are the standards higher for children's items? It's strange that almost everything on this list is aimed directly at children.
> Nuclear is part of the tech pipe dream that the oligarchy is promising us, of an ever abundance of free/clean energy. But the reality on the ground, from mining sites to storage facilities, looks very different.

This could not be further from the truth. Nuclear power has the lowest rate of deaths per unit of energy. Uranium mining does have environmental impact, but it's so energy dense that very little of it has to be mined.

If "actual environmentalism" means rejecting industrialized society then we're doomed. The Romans built a stable society, sure. But it was a society with a huge portion of enslaved people, and little opportunity outside of the elite. If I have to choose between climate change and reverting to an agrarian preindustrial society I'll pick climate change without hesitation.
"I would like to continue to have access to single family housing with a nice yard that I maintain and neighbors I don't share walls or utilities with. If there are people who want dense housing they should also have that option"

That was my experience too. There is/was no formal standard for creating themes, just an empty dir (which they consider a feature). Even if they had one or two "official themes" that would have helped tremendously.

Instead we spent a week researching how popular 3rd party themes did things, and made a hybrid. Then we moved away completely. I really wanted it to work for us and we were so close. Hugo is so fast and is brilliant on a couple of things.... but barely missed.

I can't remember exactly but with what we were doing we were going to be heavily dependant on their Scratchpad, which felt like a hack. It's all just hacks, and they like it. Lack of solid conventions, and they LOVE it.
No, it's not random. If it were random, there would be other folks represented in the victim population.

This is a clear example of the racism and acceptance of extrajudicial violence against Indigenous people in Canada.

That said, I know that is not really what you meant by random in this context.
Thank you!

This CDC page seems to say that swallowing or breathing lead-contaminated soil is a problem (most of the minerals I mentioned won't withstand strong solutions of hydrochloric acid, such as stomach acid) but it doesn't even suggest that lead-contaminated soil is a potential source of groundwater contamination or contamination of plants grown in it. Nor does it suggest that soil being stirred up by wind and rain is a significant danger, though presumably a sufficiently strong windstorm would be.

It links an EPA page https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2020-10/documents/le... which does talk about "eating fruits or vegetables grown in contaminated soil". More specifically it recommends not growing root crops such as potatoes in soil with over 100 ppm lead, low-growing leafy vegetables in soil with over 400 ppm lead, or fruits and vegetables in soil with over 1000 ppm lead. It still doesn't mention anything about groundwater.

Unfortunately it doesn't cite any of the studies so we can find out what levels of lead contamination occur in crops grown in contaminated soil or to what degree they're dependent on lead not being locked up in the mobile forms I described (can potato roots digest galena?), nor to what degree lead-compound dust on poorly washed lettuce results in human lead poisoning.

Since the CDC didn't link any, which studies would you most recommend reading?
I mean, they could just refuse and get held in contempt.

It's not like a Nebraska sheriff can hop over to California or wherever Facebook data centers are and start seizing computers until they found this girl's messages (so much of that process would be absurd).

Just look to Trump to observe what obstructing a court order looks like.

I am not, of course, a corporate lawyer. One would know appropriate procedures to delaying, opposing, or otherwise objecting and appealing an order like this.

But it's Facebook. A half a trillion dollar company can resist an overzealous prosecutor going after a single teenager by just ignoring it and ignoring the consequences of ignoring it. It is approximately equivalent to a billionare not paying a parking meter. Sure, they "have to", but nothing of consequence actually happens if they don't.
You seem to be very misinformed about the potential AI impact. Some reading wouldn't be bad. I urge you to read Bostroms "Superintelligence".

Can someone knowledgeable about the space please help me understand why this is important?

The article discusses this with regards to "Nouveau", which seems to be an open source Nvidia specific driver - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouveau_(software)

What do these 3d header files do, and why/how will this make life easier for "Nouveau"? Finally, why (aside from just open source being the best source) will this benefit people like myself who don't understand what just happened?
I think some of it has to do with the idea that skills that reward "revolutionaries" are not analogous to skills needed to run the state after they assume control. Those that are able to consolidate power have an advantage in capturing power in a vacuum, but all that means is that they have the political skills to know how to consolidate power, it has no bearing on their ability to run the a nation. The guy who catches the golden goose is just good at catching geese, it doesn't say anything about his ability to care for it afterwards. An issue is that elections filter based on the ability of the former and not the later.

It is sort of similar in how many nation building projects of the west have failed in recent times, because the people put into positions of power, weren't in power before for a reason which is usually tied to their incompetence.
Doesn't matter how good their POI data is if they pollute the search results with Dunkin Donuts, Arby's, Burger King, McDonald's, and any other godforsaken chain restaurant who pays to be first in line. Especially on mobile, I find it very, very difficult to look through restaurant matches that search my criteria because:

- Maps won't show all of the results in the map view

- Maps prioritizes these kinds of chains that pay good money over more relevant restaurants (for instance, I searched "Cafe" in Boston last week, and both McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts were among the top 5 results. Not exactly the most relevant results)

- no matter how much you zoom in, Maps just won't show you certain businesses. I'm not sure if they haven't payed up enough protection money to Google, or if the business listing isn't optimized, or what... but it's a crap experience when I know there's a great business in a general area but every time I search, Google zooms me out to shove Wendy's in my face

Do other people experience these same issues with Google Maps? Am I somehow using the product wrong? I've been trying to contribute to OSM and use it instead when possible, but the POI data just isn't quite complete enough... and businesses almost never update their own hours on OSM.

> FSD needs to be substantially better than the average human driver - not on par or worse (which this is).

The states of the average driver also include drunk and drugged drivers. Texting drivers. It need to be way better than the average driver until a driver that does not do those things gets a safety benefit.

I would expect Tesla FSD to behave worse than humans when there is a vehicle malfunction too.
For what it's worth, I also get annoyed with how often google thinks I want "Foo Cafe" in Atlanta when I'm really looking for "Foo Restaurant" two blocks away from me in Boston.
I guess EKS is WSL then?

Java also has this for at least a few years now. G1GC and ZGC in JDK17 offer no global stops unless absolutely necessary, and ZGC even has latency targets.

Last I checked golang is not packaged either and that doesn't make it any less useful on Linux.

Swift works great on Linux. You can install it manually, or use the official docker image. I prefer using docker and have had a great experience (both developing and deploying).

Because it is written in JS it assumes you have NodeJS installed. npm is the package manager bundled in with NodeJS.

JavaBeans in general promoted that convention. I first learned about Beans using Swing (the ui toolkit) since it makes heavy use of them.

I’m not aware of anybody doing “eco friendly” routes with the intelligence, scale, or impact of google maps. Sure, it’s not a sexy cool thing, but it’s important.
it's not that 'look around' is not important and has no priority, but that it's incorrect. if apple had solid POI/place data, then they could work next on improving look around, indoor maps, and 3D models, because that does add value, but not as much as accurate POI data, hence misplaced priorities.

yelp is was a smart way to get a jump start on place data, but apple should have spent much more time and effort (and some of it's $100B+ warchest) on getting this to a much more useful place on their own, especially if it really has designs on challenging google in the autonomous car space.

Java apps have plenty of downtime during deploys, that isn't uncommon at all. You have such a naive view of java.

To someone who has not written Java since High School in the '00s, I find the ecosystem a little confusing.

My recent experience was this: I have a Windows box in my basement that hosts a Spigot Minecraft server for some friends and their kids. This box also hosts my UniFi controller software.

The UniFi controller software requires Java 8, which is what Oracle offers for download on their website.

Spigot usually requires the latest version, at the time I ran into this problem it was 17. You have to go out of your way and actually download the whole JDK for any Java version newer than 8.

So I download and install JDK 17, which replaces the JRE 8 I already had running UniFi. Spigot works, and the UniFi controller appears to start up and function. However I quickly notice that the UniFi app is behaving erratically, and after some troubleshooting and googling, I learn that Java 17 is in fact not backwards compatible with Java 8, so both of them need to be installed.

Of course, Java doesn't make installing multiple versions side by side easy. It's doable, but even then they built no mechanism for a jar file to specify which runtime it needs and automatically run with it. So I had to write my own startup scripts for these apps calling the specific runtime they required.

None of this was particularly onerous to figure out and deal with, but your average user is going to get stuck and feel frustrated. And it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth because .NET has done a pretty good job of avoiding exactly these kinds of problems.
The problem with Java is much more with the ecosystem than the language, for all the reasons you describe. Clean, straightforward software can be written in Java but it seldom is.
Maybe it's too obscure, but I really like Metalsmith. Once it "clicks" it becomes ridiculously easy to make plugins and to operate, and it generally doesn't go out of date.

That said, it may require a bit of javascript knowledge to get a more customized build running. It does have YAML configuration and a set of useful plugins you can use without touching code, from what I know.
Thank you for explaining! I understand much better now.
C++ is a language, while iostream is one of the many C++ tools available to write to the standard output. It’s available by default, it’s part of the standard library, but you don’t have to use it. printf is also available, and will be as fast as using it from C.

Note that in most cases, the speed of writing to standard output is irrelevant unless you are implementing cat or some command line text processing tool.

I find iostream very convenient and type safety is a big plus compared to printf. It’s also very easy to implement your own handlers for your own types.
Oh, I absolutely think we see things the same way. It's not greedy, they just need to pay the bills and well... Truth might suffer in that environment

Even so, Tornado Cash is functionally and conceptually quite different from a mixer. It's non-custodial, for starters.

There's a plausible argument that none of the sanctioned individuals were or are involved in running any kind of financial service.

This is closer to sanctioning developers of cryptographic libraries than it is to operators of a coin mixer.

It's actually surprising to see the amount of negativity surrounding Godot on HN. The top comment in the thread about Godot's 3.5 release was someone talking about how Godot's feature set is "below average" compared to Unreal. I think you would be hard pressed to find any Godot user that thinks it is in the same class with a product developed by hundreds of engineers at a billion dollar company. Yet, because it has an enthusiastic user base (which is a good sign for a FOSS project), that somehow it has to compete with all solutions in its category.
To your point, it would be like comparing Blender to 3DS Max or Maya in the mid 2000s.
