When repairing military avionics, you have to use the exact parts approved by the military from sources supplied by the military. The government works very hard to make sure that parts for its aircraft are available, even if they are expensive. If the parts aren't available then you simply can't repair the unit without some sort of arduous waiver process. Anything else is a breach of contract at best.
Are you representing that conclusion as based on your set of axioms (which is fine and I can’t argue against) or suggesting that those axioms are universal?

The entire clothing industry is fucked. All you can do is buy clothes that will last as long as possible and you'll wear until you use them as rags, or buy pre-owned clothes and do the same.

Buy from places whom manufacture clothing locally. Buy from places that manufacture clothing using deadstock (AKA the offcuts of fast fashion and fabric that is destined for landfill). Buy from places that make clothing they encourage you to "pass on" (either to your children, through their own "refurbishment" program or through secondary markets).

The garments you buy, even using organic cotton, use more resources to produce than plastic garbage you buy at Walmart or Target. The most impact you can have is using the clothes for as long as possible, and support business whom have sustainable-as-possible practices (without greenwashing).

> There is no incentive to take on risk when you aren't entitled to a proportional reward.

This doesn't really reflect reality though. Did Bezos take on more risk than anyone working in a high risk job? What does $100 billion worth of personal risk look like, for a person who doesn't already have $100 billion in assets?

Is this based on serology studies? Or are there studies that show sharp risk increase for my demographic?

That's exactly what I'm wondering. I personally don't worry for myself, if I saw something convincing that showed reduction in transmission, common good all that then I'd potentially do this for someone else. But I'm not interested in participating in free experimentation for big pharma.

The Tokyo area is missing so many lines!!! .... or maybe there's just hard to see because for some reason they're in super non-contrasty colors.

My guess is, whoever made this, based it on the idea that trains and subways are different things. They aren't in Japan. For example the Mirai-Line (subway), The Tokyu Tokoyo-Line (train), Eiden-Fukutoshin-line (subway), Tobu Tojo Line (train) can all share the same cars and some "cars" run all 4 lines where other cars run just their own line.

I'm not sure what the definition of "subway" vs "train" is. In Japan it's certainly not "runs underground vs runs above ground". Even in NYC all the trains run for a long ways underground to get to Central or Penn station.

It's also certainly not "need a harder to get ticket than just use a transit pass" as pretty all the trains lines in Japan except for a few super express trains can be ridden just by starting with the cheapest ticket you got out of a generic ticket machine and paying the difference when you get off". So for example you can ride the San-Yo line 333 miles (537km) and it's just a normal hop on, hop off train. you don't have to go to some ticket booth/kiosk and reserve a seat like you would for say an ICE train in Europe or the bullet train in Japan

You say that and then you try to zoom in and 48MP instead of 12MP might get you a number plate or a face or a bird identification or whatever. As well as rather a lot of pixels on modern phones, we also have things like review videos attached to photos and they take up space too.

Nowadays we have stupidly large amounts of storage available. I recall my Commodore 64 ...

It all ... depends. Do you want the flexibility to be able zoom in or not? Do you want to long term store your photos or not? If you can't be bothered with storage management and don't need very high resolution then dial it down and off you trot but you do have a choice.
I think you are reading too much into it.

The letter doesn't say the words "climate change" but that's clearly what they are talking about. Instead, they do mention "global warming" which is part of what is referenced by "environmental crisis".

I don't think "global warming" is more or less politicized than the phrase "climate change". Maybe because "global warming" is slightly antiquated, it's less likely to produce knee jerk reactions?

I agree that the letter is trying its best to be politically inclusive, and I appreciate it.

You may or may not need backup heat, it depends on your particular home. Heat pumps DO still capture heat below freezing and down to temperatures much, much lower than they used to. Mitsubishi, for example, sells air source heat pumps that maintain 100% heating capacity down to 5 dF and can still heat (albeit at reduced capacity) down to -13 dF: https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com/articles/keep-warm-this-wi...

We model decreasing heat pump capacity and efficiency as the outside air temperature declines. Yes, heat pumps do lose capacity and efficiency the colder it gets, but they can still provide heat even when it's very cold out (there's heat energy in the air until absolute zero, or -273, after all!). You can see that declining efficiency if you expand the "Step 2: Choosing your ideal heat pump" section. We'll add a graph of capacity relative to outside air temperature as well.

Backup heat is still often necessary for many homes in cold climates, but it's necessary a lot less often than you might think. Note that in the results you'll see for the site, backup heat is included if necessary for single-zone centrally ducted heat pumps, but not for any other ducting types.

In the example I saw, they had convinced investors that this critical mass of "geniuses" would eventually usher in profitability somehow.

Military contractors don't run down to radioshack when they're low on transistors.
By contrast, I was at two successful unicorns. They were both large (1,000 and 2-3,000 employees). We had the luxury of having significantly more applicants than headcount. I think the mentality is more that the product is already successful, and we have a responsibility to ensure that that oppressed people don't miss out on that success.

The irony is that most "oppressed" people hired at the companies we very well off. I'm Latin myself (a fact I don't advertise in my workplace precisely because of this discrimination) and I had a very privileged upbringing. Same with another Trinidadian engineer I spoke with. So in the end, it was a bunch of privileged white people patting themselves on the back for hiring privileged Latin and Black people.

Like I have since I was 15. I wander into town. When I lived in a small town without any real culture, there was a group of kids and young adults that threw punk shows at the local Masonic hall for $5. Being the charitable sort of group they’d rent their halls to the local kids pretty cheap until they got sick of them and then the kids would move onto the next hall and cycle back when they were forgiven. I was lucky that way.

And yes that kind of thing still happens, and yes it happens everywhere. You might have to catch a ride to the next town over or something, but it’s worth it.

When I got a bit older and moved to the city I wandered around town, I checked the local papers or websites for show listings. Every venue lists their shows—usually in a central culture rag in town. If you’re lucky it’s good, if not then whatever—you spent the night out of the house and not on your phone.

Don’t look for recommendations and don’t lean on an algorithm. Get out there. When you do find something you love it is pure magic and no recommendation engine will ever come close again. It’s your life. Music is magic. Go for the magic.
I design both user experiences and visual ... things ... too. I'm able to sit down in an afternoon and convert a page _if_ I have some guidance: For example, if the customer already has "their" colors and "their" fonts -- meaning, they have an existing visual system -- then yes!

Coming up with that visual language is more work. Typically companies like to be unique (but not too weird) so while you can identify "best practices" among larger brands, most of your time is identifying what makes them different, and finding the best way to highlight those features visually. There tends to be some back and forth with this, and there are a lot of feelings to navigate, especially if the customer has strong preferences about how things look.

Color, layout, heirarchy, history and perception are all part of a good design education! It's worth your while to find art and artists that you like, and find how they solve problems. Paul Rand and Massimo Vignelli are two significant personal influences, and they have written extensively (or had things written about them) about their process and thinking.

My first thought was that someone stole components. There is no reason for this kind of fraud. The government pays whether stuff is on time or not.
Not every transaction must have a counter-party that is distinct from the initiator. You could transact with yourself, and some form of that may be also illegal - e.g., wash trading or structuring (I am not saying it's how it should be in ideal world, but currently it is definitely the case).

> thus the entire foundation of ethereum would be guilty per your assessment, no?

No, why would it be? Again, the Ethereum system did not initiate the specific illegal transactions - it was used (without their specific cooperation or knowledge) to perform the transactions, it's very different.
In what multiverse is achieving 20% adoption among customers and sellers in only a year a "failure"? Also, no shit the IMF is going to rattle off dire-sounding warnings; the IMF has a vested interest in keeping countries like El Salvador dependent on the legacy financial system.

It's way too early to declare El Salvador's Bitcoin experiment a failure (or, for that matter, a success). Adopting a new currency (let alone an entire alternative financial system) doesn't happen overnight.

> 3rd world tier corruption and fraud.

I dunno, that's the intended interpretation from the headline, but the article doesn't really substantiate it. The way you'd see "fraud" in a never-used item like an ejection seat is that it just wouldn't have its components. The expensive stuff would be missing, which to my eyes would be the explosives/rockets, absolutely not the electronics.

What they found was that the electronics looked "shoddy", which isn't (again, to my eyes) the same as "fraud"[1]. More like "we can't get the original parts anymore for this order, just use this off-the-shelf transistor instead", or "crap, we stuffed the wrong parts, pull them out and rework them by hand".

[1] In the way you mean it. Obviously if it's not the specified part then it's not delivering the item ordered. But not really "3rd world tier corruption".
I was thinking they write about psychological existential crisis and was disappointed. It is IMO more plausible that AI will force to redefine our humanity and throw us into existential depression well before any physical threat. If art or literature (eventually, whole humanity) can be flawlessly mimicked by machines, what does that make us?

I hear you, and think Apple’s default are useful, but under a set of conditions:

- you spent the time to know what they do, and how they work

- you set yourself at the right level of security

So you still need to be sure that Apple got every single option completely right for your use case in the configuration you chose.

That’s probably a one time task, and once you understand what it does and where it protects you, you can just move the slider. But it can’t be a “no-brainer” just slide the thing.

I’d compare this to buying an insurance: some will have 3 plans and you just choose one level, some have 250 options and you take hours or days going though each of them.

But whichever you choose you’ll still spend a significant amount of time going though all the papers to even understand what the terms are and what you’re actually paying for. You wouldn’t be paying years of insurance to realize at the worst time that the “just sign this” plan was partly incompatible with you health situation.
No electronic system is deemed impossible to hack. That said, the system we have in Brazil relies on way more than just technical measures to ensure the security.

There are statistical controls, processes are transparent and follow standards. Parties officials and technicians are involved in all steps.

But back to tech, since this is HN, parties can ask for the actual source code, tool chain (regular GCC) and binaries used; and verify the compilation themselves against published hashes. The individual machines do the tally and print public results at the end of the day before any kind of central connection. All the central office does is sum those results.

Thus any successful attack must happen at machine level, prior to Election Day. There are hundreds of thousands of machines from many different HW generations being used in a given election; all of them air gaped.

Loading rogue software without cooperation requires tampering undetected with trusted execution modules that validate binaries twice, before and after election to avoid scrutiny.

If you assume cooperation, you have to assume the collusion of way too many civil servants, from high court judges that oversees the processes appointed by parties of different colors, to low level tech folks who operates and validate much of the process.

All in all, pulling an undetected fraud here would be a massive, Hollywood-level hacking feat. And in almost 30y no major election came close to being suspect of fraud.

Everyone talks about consent for data collection which of course is a must, but that's just the first step.

There's a second layer to this; when a platform becomes so big that not using it is a hardship that platform must offer services without data collection at all (and this should be mandated by law).

For example, a lot of government-provided services require the use of a smart phone to access; yet you cannot use a smart phone without agreeing to data collection (either by Apple, or Google) - I'm ignoring the 0.0001% Linux phones (and ungoogled androids).

Or how Windows is required in many schools and universities to turn in assignments, yet there is absolutely no way to disable data collection by Microsoft.

The bar should be much higher once the platform reaches a certain level; they should no longer be allowed to say "if you don't want to give us your data, don't use us". No, you need to prove why the data collection is absolutely required to provide the services you're providing.
I'm curious. Were there many newspaper and magazine articles about life at IBM, GE, and other large corporations in the the 1950-1980 time frame? Did this trend of corporate culture commentary arise with periodicals like Byte, Dr. Dobb's, and Wired Magazine? Before?
Here is how to fix the counterfeit supply chain issue:

You execute the CEO and board of directors of the companies that had the contract for treason and sabotage.

You do that once, and I bet the next CEO takes supply chain issues seriously.

And before you tell me that you wouldn’t be able to find CEOs if you executed the bad ones, there are lots of Americans who work in coal mines, oil rigs, and high rise construction where they face a risk of death for far less money.

Ah that's a good point.

Though on consideration, I would venture a guess that the purpose of each program might be as different as the governance of each company. Outcomes might be comparable, but I'd bet the arrival path and conversations were very divergent. Judging from this stark choice they've made in this post, the people at Patagonia are clearly thinking VERY differently than most boring and very profitable companies, and I presume that's not skin-deep.

And if so, maybe it's selling one short to glom them together in assessment, based mainly on outcomes instead of routes? I dunno, I could see someone defending either way of looking at it -- focussing on sameness because outcome's are the same, or differentness because paths to decisions differ :)
> So if I choose to hold my mother's funeral at a public cemetery owned and administered by a governmental body

Just because City Hall is public doesn't mean that there aren't rules that you have to follow when you're there, or that you can't be kicked out when you break those rules. What it means is that you can't make up rules, because those are just the whims of the ruler.

If there are no rules at a publicly-owned cemetery against verbally abusing your recently dead mother in front of her grandchildren, you have to face that the abuser, as part of the public, has as much a right to be there as you do. But in real life there will be posted rules, just like there are rules at the public pool.

If Britain wants to pass a blanket law criminalizing all criticism of the royal family, they should. Plenty of dictatorships and monarchies already have lèse majesté laws, they can just copy them. They won't have to make up rules or improvise.
