Ah, that was pre-deregulation in the US. Now we know what happens with de-regulation. At first, there are lots of new entrants in the industry. Gradually, the new entrants go bust or consolidate. The industry reduces to an unregulated oligopoly with four or less major players.

Examples:

- Wireline telephony. (AT&T, Verizon)

- Cellular telephony. (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile)

- Cable TV (Comcast, Charter, AT&T).

- Banks. (Bank of America, Citigroup, Chase, and maybe Wells Fargo)

- Package delivery (FedEx and UPS, plus USPS).

- Airlines (United, American, Southwest, and Delta)

Price competition seems to disappear at 3 or less direct competitors, from an EU study.

To me, the question comes down to this: if you own a piece of hardware that doesn't work on Debian because it needs non-free firmware that isn't available on your installation, will you give up that piece of hardware in favor of one with free firmware, or will you give up Debian in favor of Windows? For most people, I expect the latter is more likely, so I think including the non-free firmware by default is the lesser of the evils.
Food delivery isn't going anywhere. To be honest, there's been months where I haven't cooked in my kitchen. I either eat out or get my food delivered (and when I order food I'll usually order a few servings at a time for dinner or breakfast tomorrow)

Yeah like, this is another form of a subsidy to colleges.

The predicate corresponding to an outer join is fundamentally disjunctive in nature (any outer join is equivalent to a UNION of at least 2 SELECTs) meaning that "after the fact", there is no way to determine which particular one of the disjuncts made the row appear in the result.

Bitcoin Drops Below $20k as Risk-On Optimism Fades Again
Here's some data that shows the strongest predictor of long covid is whether or not your parents are claiming long covid: https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/social-contagion-is-long-...

It's especially interesting because that predictor is stronger than whether or not anyone involved has ever tested positive for covid.
Yeah I was purely viewing this from an environmental perspective, not an economical one. But you're right. This is of course the reason it's done that way.

Show HN: Make Any CLI into a GUI in Acme
Hey HN.

I've become enamored with the Acme editor. It's fascinating because it turns the Vim paradigm on its head: instead of maximizing your use of the keyboard, maximize your use of the mouse.

I think this helps optimize for information management, as opposed to text manipulation.

I realized a lot of the CLIs I use have the same structure, and with a small program I could convert them into GUIs inside Acme and make them much easier to use.

Let me know what you think.
What drives me absolutely insane about stories like this is that so many of the people suffering under these policies are guilty of little more than market participation. The government strains, at extraordinary expense, to pretend they can stop drugs from being made, bought and sold, but they can't. They simply can't. Countless laws, countless billions of dollars and countless ruined lives later, drugs are no less popular or accessible than they ever were in the past. The government gave it their best shot, failed in spectacular fashion over generations, and anyone who still supports this approach is either hopelessly brainwashed or, maybe, just not very smart.
I’d say the difference between a full scale search and rescue operation and a “we’ll get someone out to your location lickety-split” text messages is significant.

I used to hear on the news about people getting lost all the time on the trails around Phoenix, in flip flops and without water, having to spend the night outside before they could find them. Often enough they would have warnings on the radio and TV about it.

I'm curious why this occurs in Japanese and not English (or I assume other similar languages). It's easier and just as clear to say "mum went shop bought bread" but you very sound like someone that hasn't learnt the language properly.
On the flip side it's the things that don't get omitted in the Japanese despite being superfluous (the o- and -san!) that makes it even more peculiar.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that have a peak speed of 0.9999961908c, thus a gamma factor of 362.3, and therefore the CMB ahead of you would be blue-shifted from 2.7 K to 989.1 K?

Totally agree. Particularly if it becomes tidally locked and you end up with a ring-shaped habitable zone that's out of the direct heating/radiation of the sun and fed by convective currents coming from the cold side.

I've come to expect this. Hopefully the larger message with the student loan debt forgiveness isn't that they are forgiving 10k in student debt, or even that the people complaining about it had millions in PPP loans forgiven... but instead that they forgave near a trillion in PPP loans, some wealthy individuals having several million forgiven, but the most they can afford for low-income students is 10k.

Making money of course! Once you realise that the idea of jail is to make money for the people who run the jails it makes sense.

It's not about public safety or rehab or reintegration into society. It was always about making money.

Jail operators have every incentive to keep inmates "dangerous" and encourage them to rescind once they get out, because then the prison gets a new customer.

The only group who can "directly compete" with the prison industry is the death penalty industry. Because when an inmate is sent to death sentence, they can no longer be a customer for the prison industry.
Reimagined Command-Tab for macOS
Ask HN: Apple MacBook M1 16gb or 32GB Windows Laptop?
Hi all

Been stuck in this dilemma for a long time and wanted to get out there and make a decision on which way to go, once and for all

I've been an Apple hater for their predatory tactics and overpriced products and also because an unbearable extent of vendor-locking [like compatibility only with Apple products most of the time]. Add to that, I have also hated the general UX of Mac OsX but I've got to admit I got somewhat used to it because I've been using them at work for a long time. In fact, I believe some Linux distros have a better UX and customizability in general.
I've taken a look at Windows recently after a long long time and it seems like I can live with it. It's the WSL/Virtualization improvements that they made that impressed me. I work a lot with Docker btw

I'm now at a stage where I'm looking to buy a machine but torn between these two. The Macbook Pro seems 400$ more expensive with only 16GB of Ram, however I'm considering it more because of the Asahi Project. I'm not sure how long it will take before it's stable though. There are also other nice things like being quiet, cool, and having long battery life. The Windows laptop checks all boxes, is a touchscreen, and has 32GB RAM and a huge battery. I'm concerned about the RAM on the Macbook and 32GB is not something I want to afford at the moment. And I also see that Docker compatibility is a problem on M1 and it eats up the RAM pretty quickly.
Windows on the other hand has a plenty 32GB and it should breeze through Docker because of WSL.

I wanted to get your opinions so as to weigh the tradeoffs better, and see which one would be a better choice for the next 4 years or so.

Sorry for the long post but will really really appreciate the help!

Thank you
The stereotype is to think of, say, a Yale Philosophy grad with an enormous amount of debt and a useless degree (NB: I don't think a Phil degree is useless). The reality is that a ton of people have education debt from community and vocational colleges, for degrees and certifications that allowed them to get higher paying jobs, but not necessarily _high_-paying jobs, i.e., they're still working class jobs. For example, a lot of daycares require staff to have a Child Development Associate degree. Forgiveness will be a tremendous boon to a huge swath of such workers.
The reality is that there are so many crimes in the United States that the set itself is uncountable. There have been a number of attempts to count. I guarantee you that you have, today alone, accrued enough legal liability to put you away for the rest of your life.

Part of what makes this difficult to even count in the first place are bills like the Lacey act which makes it a felony for you to violate any other countries fish and wildlife laws - if you ever came into possession of a dead lobster less than 6 inches long for any reason - felony.

What happens is the folks who end up in prison haven't accrued any more of less liability - instead they drew attention.

If you'd like to learn more I recommend Three Felonies a Day. [1]

I guess the question I have for you is why aren't you in prison now? Why did you choose to commit all those crimes, and what makes you exempt?

Further if your argument is then 'well I shouldn't be in prison because I didn't get caught' - now you're no longer arguing that these people shouldn't have 'done crimes' your argument is they should have been better at it?

>Reason is that which can be known

Nah. Reason is just the best model we have at the time, given the evidence that we have.

For example, Newtonian physics is a pretty darn good way of looking at the universe and it works well. It was thought of as "known". But of course, I'm sure everyone here knows that Einsteinian physics replaced Newtonian physics with a more accurate model of the universe.

Faith is different in that it is based on no evidence. For example, in christendom, they say there's a heaven, with no testable evidence, or that there's a god, let alone the one that they think exists as opposed to Kali or Uhuru-Mazda, or the other hundredss of thousands of gods that have been professed to be real.

>Belief is Necessary to fill in the gaps between creation cycles (Or its rejection entirely).

eh....despite what the author says, it is conceivable that a scientific solution could be found for the creation. But with faith, just saying "God done it" is something that requires no work, no new knowledge, and not even an attempt at new knowledge. Belief is something necessary when one is just too lazy to try to figure out the actual solution, or to disprove one's belief and accept that it is wrong.
I too knew nothing about this and honestly find that frightening. How many other grotesquely perverse laws are on the books?

Someone needs to create a hall of shame for these laws index by federal and for every state.

This is perverse on so many levels. It’s not only ongoing punishment but it disincentivizes people from getting their lives in order and probably increases recidivism rates quite a bit. So in the end I wouldn’t be surprised if it costs more.
It was your choice of dictionary! No need to respond like that.
Sorry no change, but on smaller maps it has better speed. So obviously a CPU issue or something.
Or people could just be depressed/were not working out. All this talk in the news of long covid probably causes psychosomatic symptoms.
When I toured the Tower of London I was told this happened to many improsined in the dungeon there. People would sometimes be held indefinietely for small crimes as they wouldn't be able to pay off their initial "accomodation". It seemed an insanely unfair practice and even though I knew US prison system is fucked, I had no idea it was this bad.
Good point about free college, most people don't realize that college is not the same in Europe as it is in America, there are reasons for it being able to be free.

In the UK it costs the taxpayer about $60K per year per prisoner to keep them locked up, according to official figures. However if you take the overall annual budget for the prison service and divide by the number of prisoners I think the figure is closer to $100K. I’ve often wondered what the cost might be to house that population somewhere else, somewhere less expensive, like Turkey or Greece.
I may not have explained just how red the chair's face went when we moved that motion (there is no "1873 Aged and Infirm person's Act", it was made up for the purpose

Well, wait, doesn't that make the whole exercise fraudulent? Here in the US at least, this tactic would only work once. You'd be faced with charges of disorderly conduct or trespassing the next time you tried citing a nonexistent law, whether you held shares in the company or not.

You might as well just skip the CS theory and call in a bomb threat every time they try to hold a meeting.
I don't completely understand.

Wouldn't that just mean that the employers need to compete with the government, i.e. raise wages? So than the market should resolve this on its own as well?
I own a bar and restaurant and while we don't use Sysco, we totally would for some items. You know, frying oil, canned soda. Maybe glassware, knives. Toilet paper, napkins, baskets, ladles, ticket books. Flour, sugar, salt, pepper. Bleach, oven cleaner, simple green, sponges, bar towels.

I'm just getting started, and none of that is really food. We drive ourselves to buy meat and produce.

Getting all that shit into the building is a full time job. It's nice to outsource (some) of it to a truck.

We're lucky to have a local old school warehouse literally next door. They have computers that run dos on green monochrome screens and print on that wide, green-lined paper from the 80s. We use them instead of a truck, but the concept is identical.
In hardware circles I've seen CPUs/GPUs colloquially being referred to as "silicon" for at least a decade.

Which has very little to do with Apple PR, but everything with how CPUs/GPUs are overwhelmingly made from silicon.
former inmate here. I remember having to discharge nearly 30 grand in bankruptcy my second day out of the klink because I couldnt honest to god afford anything. I'd moved back in with an old roommate and was going to trade tech school.

other things that cost money include:
soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, and basic analgesics like aspirin. phone calls are around $9 a minute. a letter is around $4. if you had an accident or need serious medical care it will be billed to you during your stay and comes out of your commissary.

oh and any supervised release after your sentence? that costs money too.
First of all, conceding that 5% of people in jail could be wrongfully imprisoned should be MORE than enough reason to want to tear the entire system down.

Second, many of these "crimes" had no victim, so maybe it's not the people living their lives who are at fault, but rather an overzealous government who imprisons otherwise free people for doing no harm other than some abstract "moral" rule-breaking.

I believe rem sleep can be either increasing entropy in symbols if your mind is on over drive without access to a mediator such as myself without a certain medicine I take nightly. But if the mind and body are ready to rest rem sleep lets your mind experiment with experience as symbols so that tomorrow, those symbols can be unraveled into an outlook for a period of time in the future. This helps with the natural flow from day to day. There is always rem sleep but not always long enough or strong enough to make you consider drastic changes.

After rem sleep the symbols that did not get integrated into a series get trashed. The memory behind the symbol is still there but the symbol reference is removed to free up the mind. This is where the feeling of mental rest comes from. Finally the actionable symbols are muted. Waking up feeling like you just got out of a fight of some kind is definitely a heedable warning.

For that there is prayer.
This hardly came out of low here. It was a campaign promise.
I believe it’s reasonable to assume that far more than 5% of people behind bars are actually innocent.

I was raised by two career long LEOs and if even a small fraction of other LEOs were as bad as my folks, it would be safe to assume that there are a lot of innocent people behind bars.

This.

Education should be subsidized anyway, it's in our best interest. Education is an investment in America's and the world's future. Education opens the door to dreams becoming reality, and is the backbone we rely on to make progress as a civilization.

I'm not satisfied with the status quo that any of the politicians are pushing in the states. This is one area where Germany is leaps and bounds ahead of us - they subsidize it almost 100%. Chasing money for the sake of money is stupid and ultimately yields nothing of lasting value.

Talk about "thinking of the children", this is one case where I'd hope we can all agree: the children of today all deserve access to a good education and should be able to ascend as far as they desire in academia. When the rest of us grow old and useless, it's in our own best interest to ensure the kids of today are as capable and intelligent as possible, so they have sufficient resources to care for us. Social security, as it stands, is a terrible and unsustainable plan.
I’m sure Turkey and Greece would love that.

It is also quite possible that harvesting fruits requires more brainpower (advanced spatial understanding, good memory, motor functions etc) which gave rise to the evolutionary pressure for cerebral development.
