This is weird because in my whole experience with EDI... I'd almost rather grab the SOAP.

- In one case, a Bank's EDI Check format did not follow the spec. Long story short they decided to (either leave out or repurpose) the leftmost digit of the check field block for their own purposes. This made it -extremely- difficult and convoluted to properly parse their response files and match them up to our internal files in edge cases where the client had fairly high check numbers. The response from the bank was something along the lines of "It's just a specification we can do what we want with it." facepalm

- In another case, a Client had a proper EDI spec and followed it, but to both upload and download files, you had to use a special custom (non-standard) FTP commands to deal with a 'mailbox'. It was a 'fun' challenge to write a parser to automate the upload/download process, but it was definitely a challenge to do in a way that fit in well with our other processes.

Mind you, that's not to say that XML is necessarily better. EDI (if the data fits well to the size constraints) is FAR more compact, (if the specification is well written and sane) can be pretty dang simple to write a reliable AND fast parser for, and in some ways the constraints themselves are useful in helping to make sure that use cases are fairly well targeted (vs some XML/JSON dumps where you care about 5 fields out of 35).

It's easy to say that as someone on the outside without skin in the game, not working on this, not in the know.

> That's worthless. A firehose of novelty is almost immediately no longer novel.

And yet here you are on HN. I'll bet you have a Twitter and phone and consume social media, too. That's all just a poor man's version of what we'll be building.

> Why would anyone want this?

I have literally wanted this exact thing all of my life.

There have only been a handful of films I've walked out of and felt truly satisfied. I've seen thousands of movies shot by mere hundreds of directors at best. That's billions of dollars of institutional capital put behind a few lucky white men for what amounts to as a "meh" at best. Now we can empower anyone to have their own take at it. To build and express anything. To sift and sort through emotional/concept space and deliver truly new things.

We get one short life to experience the universe. Let's climb the gradient to the stars and experience the limits.

> It's the same problem already with streaming services and their own series. They're all already joyless and immediately forgettable. They have less and less value.

Spaghetti thrown at walls by blank check writing firms trying to capture eyeballs. This isn't at all what I'm talking about. This technology will bankrupt that type of behavior.

Everyone will have access to these tools and be able to build whatever their heart desires. Whatever they want to put out into the world for the rest of us to experience.

> Your breathlessly described "amazing transformation" sounds incredibly boring and pointless.

I don't get you, but that's fine. We'll be building away regardless.

I don't think humans are the end point of our tiny quadrant of the universe. We're a transitional blip. This is just part of the changing of the guard. And the transformation will yield beautifully captivating results. I'm here to contribute and experience.

Because even though it might dimish the experience for a relatively small number of Dark Sky users on other platforms, the move can still be a net gain for consumers as a whole due to the large number of iOS users who can now benefit from improvements to the default weather app.

Dark Sky wasn't even available to purchase in my country previously. But now, thanks to this investment by Apple, I get access to a bunch of great new features in the Weather app via a free software update. Calling this "anti-consumer" and declaring that it should be illegal is, in my opinion, an over simplification.

True, but fast food has seriously damaged and reduced both real restaurants and home cooking.
Actually, you are quite correct. The EU has stated they want to stop using Russian energy as soon as possible, so it's a good thing indeed that both the EU and Russia have stopped those energy transfers more quickly than expected.

And take on a bit more custodial risk
Again, you seem to be stopping the story at the wrong point. The initial job is to find out whether the project is worth investing in. 9 out of 10 startups fail, they say; if you're in one of the 9, you need to know that ASAP. If you can tell that with throwaway code, great! You've saved a shit-ton of money.

As an example, I did a startup circa 2010. We raised money on an idea that VCs were very excited about. So much so that we found out later that other VCs had invested in similar notions. We spent a few months building disposable prototypes to test the value prop. It turned out that users hated the idea no matter what we tried. So we killed it after spending maybe $100k and did something else. Job done! But the other companies persevered, building full apps, and each burned millions before they realized there was no future in it.

So in that case, yes, you don't want to invest a lot. But a few ideas later we had something that looked to have real product market fit. At that point, we threw away the code and started fresh with solid tests, CD, and other quality investments. Why? Because the job we were trying to do had changed. It had gone from hypothesis testing to actually serving users and building a real product. If you want to get that job done well, you can't afford to have a garbage code base.

You’re injecting dismissiveness, again a word with very negative connotation, at a simple mistake.

Phones also encompass/replace/compete with many of the goods that used to be sold in retail shops and and mall locations: books, magazines, music, movies/videos (and movie tickets), toys, games, video game systems, cameras, audio and video recorders, GPS systems, fitness trackers, notebooks and personal planners, greeting cards and stationery, desktop/laptop computers, etc..

Note that the only arcade machines that survive are prize machines that can't be replicated on a phone (although phones have gambling games of their own with virtual prizes.)

Phones also compete for time and attention vs. all other activities.
Psychological effects are, in general, reversible. Also, they tend to be dose-dependent, and rather obvious. It's easy to avoid them by limiting consumption. I stopped smoking weed for other reasons, but I didn't really care if my memory formation was impaired after 9 PM. Effects on the heart, on the other hand, can build up for years without much warning, since most people don't get regular EKG.
I've been a bit disconcerted at the level of unmitigated adulation that's been showered on the late queen by the media. I have nothing bad to say about Elizabeth II but I too do my job every day -- without a staff of hundreds to prepare my breakfast -- and I don't think I will be sanctified the day I keel over. It's all so serious and deeply conservative you'd think we are back in the 1950. In the 1970s Monty Python were allowed to laugh at anything on national television, I suspect that would not be possible today.

> Nobody is suggesting we’ve magically fixed every environmental issue, but wouldn’t you rather see trends like total number of trees (or number of rivers catching on fire, as you put it) trend in the right direction?

Sure, but if there are 100 relevant indicators that contribute to climate change or other environmental issues, and you're actively selecting the 5 indicators that seems positive and reporting on those regardless of the overall trends, that's not great (I'd argue that would be deliberately dishonest).

But sure, if you're just randomly curious about the trend in tree population and you look it up and it looks positive, then sure, I suppose you could be pleased.

California has been home to massive illegal grows managed by enormous violent crime syndicates for over half a century. It has served the global cannabis market for just as long.

I genuinely have my doubts that this narrative that some hippy liberals signed some bill to legalize weed and it directly led to an enormous increase in illegal activity is anything but synthetically derived from cherry picked data.

I agree that these grow operations are bad. They’ve been bad since the days of the advent of the Swanson TV dinner and The Twist being a nationwide dance craze.
Interesting. My 3950x draws (wall power) approximately 67/68W in idle. I'm on a Bxxx chipset and a 6600 XT, which should both consume little in idle mode, and 3 SSD, which consume little.

I haven't read much, but it t seems the range of around 40/60W seems fairly normal in idle, for a modern system (both Intel/AMD). I remember a former system of mine consumed 32/33W though; I think it was an AMD 6800K.

Protesting a public funeral procession for a public figure down closed-off public roads makes that more defensible, from my Australian perspective. Otherwise you have a bizarre situation where you can hold a 100-mile-long walking-speed parade for whatever cause you support, provided you can find a suitable dead person and convince the police to block off the roads, and all your opponents have to shut their mouths and put up with it.
Clothes and food are things I cannot buy from amazon (food, because i like to choose, and usually plan "today for todays dinner", and clothes, because I'm tall and not fat, so getting a right size is hard)... and those stores represent 80% of the malls contents here. Then there's an odd electronics store and restaurants.

This is a fair question. I would argue no. As the article alludes, schooling in general hinders/squishes the entrepreneurial (independent) spirits and instills a risk aversion behavior not conducive to starting a business.

How would delegating any important job of a state (e.g. takes care of looking good) to a group of people you can't replace any good?

So proposing a hypothetical. If the only issue here is obligation to the U.S. financial system what if the only on-off ramps to e-coins were cash only?

So as an individual, I convert my cash to e-coins through some e-coin dedicated ATM-like machine. And I can redeem my e-coins for cash at another e-coin-ATM somewhere else (maybe anywhere in the world).

Would coin pools like Tornado Cash then be acceptable? It would not be tied in any way to the credit or banking systems, it takes cash only, and then just a basic utility internet connection. Maintenance for the machines and paying the internet utility would just be a fraction of a percentage fee on each transaction.

Now all e-coins would simply exist as a privacy themed alternative ecosystem to cash.

Since we are not joining the U.S. financial system, these e-coins should not be expected to have any obligations to that system correct?
> A monarchy has the downside that who gets to be the monarch is fundamentally undemocratic.

So I get 1/20 millionth of the decision in which of 3 or 4 members of an exclusive elite get a patronage position, and it's all good?

I'd just as soon eliminate the risk of handing that role to a political climber and leave the position to someone whose power we all clearly understand is only formal.

That being said, I understand and appreciate your arguments around a properly framed constitutional role for a president. If we ever do make the change, I'd like a non-imperial presidency...
I agree that cheap energy is vital, but I would argue that my statement is still true and that cheap energy is part of capitalism. It is, no pun intended, the oil the allows the free market capitalist machine to run. It starts with cheap energy, but having cheap energy alone is useless and doesn't lift anyone out of poverty. It's the cheap energy that enterprises can build upon that lifts people out of poverty.

> Remove capitalism, and industrialized society will still limp along, in a relatively prosperous manner compared to centuries past.

Barley limp along, maybe. As I mentioned above cheap energy alone is pretty much useless. North Korea has cheap energy, they aren't doing very well. Japan has cheap energy, and they are doing fantastic. The USSR had cheap energy, there were still bread lines. There has been no other institution, other than capitalism, that is done more to lift mass quantities of people out of poverty in such a short period of time. That said I do whole hardheartedly agree that cheap energy is the foundation and that if cheap energy goes away there will be millions of people that will die (but that is true weather a nation is capitalist or not).
At first I thought you were joking, but this is a very real class! Probably one of the longest I've seen.

In the UK, I use netweather which has an atrocious UI, but displays the raw radar data on a 180 meter grid. Using that and a regular untrained eyeball just looking at how the rain is forming seems to make far better predictions.

Except for the sense where it's an anti-consumer concentration of market power. Something Apple is fond of. [1] Is this particular action currently illegal? Probably not, because in the US we're in an era of extreme friendliness toward companies from anti-trust regulators.

A 40% reduction would be 600GB, and an index that took up 40% of the total would be excessive/unrealistic as well.

You're right of course that Postgres lacks true clustered indexes. The closest thing it has is covering indexes, which don't help at all with saving space; quite the opposite in fact.

Someone advocating direct air carbon capture made this strong argument that stuck with me: Carbon released by drilling oil didn't come from trees. So recapturing the carbon from what we think was released from trees burned down before does not include carbon stored underground.
> I think that can be done without disrupting a memorial service

This point is being made all over the thread and seems disingenuous. The extremely public memorial service for the reigning monarch is a deeply political event. If this was some private service being protested, even if it was the royal family, the point would stand. But this is not that. Not only is the transfer of power to the heir at the moment of death a huge part of the monarchy by design, the memorial service itself is used to affirm that same system in an extremely public and official way. If people can't protest that because it's a "memorial service" then when can they protest the monarchy? I'm sure protesting it when the queen was ill would also be in poor taste. And apparently protesting the new king right now as he is being declared king is also not possible. What's left?
Sorry about your father. I don't like using personal examples since emotions can be strong, especially at a time like this. If they were to show up and stand peacefully with a sign, I don't think that should be illegal. But if they did that it would certainly show the rest of the family what kinds of people they are.
Yes, but HFCS is cheaper. Cheaper means it ends up in more products. Cheaper means more gets consumed.

I mentioned in another comment above that circa 2003-ish the NYT Sunday mag ran an opinion piece that proposed that gov subsidies of corn were contributing to the obesity crisis. Lower corn prices === lower price for HFCS === more HFCS in more products === more products at lower prices === more sweetener calories being consumed.

Our gut microbes aren't evolved for this type of diet.
