I'd say cost (of research, implementation and resulting product
).

The additional hardware both in silicon and on PCB is massive to enable these kinds of reliability numbers. I played with some higher end HP servers back in the day, which allowed hot-swapping RAM carriers to maximize uptime. The construction on mechanical, electrical and software was much more sophisticated to enable these features. Which made the systems bigger, somewhat noisier and harder to maintain in a sense.

When everybody is moving towards more cattle-like systems, and the behemoths like HPC doesn't care about reliability in the worker nodes (we just re-schedule the job, no biggie), that kind of reliability is not wanted by the people, in most sectors, and this low demand doesn't make the capabilities worthy to pursue.

Also, there are system dynamics which affect operations profoundly. Your normal server boots in 5 minutes tops from power to "all services are ready to serve". Your run off the mill SMP server needs 15 minutes. A mainframe is never expected to be shut down, and if it's ever turned off, it's at least an hour required to spin that thing back up.

We're talking about machines which have small "guns" inside to physically sever power lines in an emergency (sorry I can't find the story I've read about moving a datacenter hence turning of the IBM mainframes, however a related reference can be found at [0]).

The JIT/Interpreted languages of the day were really bad. Java was heavy, other languages were slow. Today's JIT/Interpreted languages are fast enough, because the VMs running these have been optimized heavily, and the processors allows these VMs to run at much faster speeds because of available instructions, available memory and system interconnect speed at every level and interface. So the evolution of JIT and interpreted languages is a matter of chicken and egg. Hardware enabled both faster speeds and technology to write better VMs and optimize them further.

Institutions of that nature are incapable of following through on nearly any promise made to the public at large; every promise is a lie, whether they break it or not, because they can't be said to have the intention to uphold it.

I see no reason not to believe that Page and Brin sincerely desired Google not to be evil; but it's the institution decides to do evil, not any individual, so they did not have (or could not maintain, as the organization scaled) the power to guarantee this. No one does.

A tragedy. But why the cover-up? The amount of money to settle honestly was finite. Sure a fair amount, but worth going as far as they did? Is there more to this? Or just group-think gone wildly bad?

Edit / adding

The arc of my concern is, if these organizations / companies would do this for this (relatively small) amount of money, what happens - to us - when the stakes are 10x or more higher?

As someone who went through the same process, including using a Huawei watch previously, I encourage you to try Autosleep. It has much better sleep detection magic and exposes a few knobs that enable you to fine-tune the autodetection and also manually correct the sleep records in sensible ways.

It integrates with Health, so it has the bonus of tidying up the sleep data all across the board.

If it wasn't true, there would have to be a Simpson's paradox of epic proportions to account for the improved mental health outcomes of anti-abortion-aligned demographics. Pro-abortion republicans would have to be the happiest people in the world by a huge margin.

This isn't an argument about whether abortion is moral. Please don't bring this down to an object-level argument about abortion - I have zero interest in that. This is about the psychological states of groups who believe in the presence of an urgent moral crisis.

There's stupid shit and it involves scams, like going to a record store and they say "hey maybe you're the chosen one" play a track then switch gear and say "listen to it again" and play a different track pretending to be the first, and bam, audiophile.

Then there's the blind. One of my ancestors was a blind Spanish classical guitarist, played in concerts often. So for them? They can tell you the brand of headphones you're listening to from the other side of the room. And that's nothing. They also think faster, listen to sound at a much much faster rate than ordinary speech. Like 4x? Something. Sky's the limit. And when they speak to each other they speak much faster more like the speech synthesizer.

I haven't put it through a rigorous test, but I can confirm that if I leave the laptop suspended without power, it will eventually lose its charge and shut off in what seems like a day. I only did this once by accident over a weekend; I've been using it every day and have the chance to charge it when I need to.

The only laptops I have ever owned that didn't have this problem after some fashion are Apple laptops, so I guess my expectations were fairly low on this topic.

> software delivery absolutely is a system

A system/organization with a sufficient number of members will create emergent behaviors that no individual leader (or engineering leader) can account for. That's the domain of culture. See religion for examples of successful ones. A key characteristic is that the individual is meaningless and at best only a channel through which the greater-than-individual interactions play out.

So, when an individual applies system modelling to the situation -- they will necessarily overemphasize the portions they understand and believe while FAILING to incorporate anything representing the behaviors they aren't aware of.

People like comfort blankets. System modeling is a particularly powerful one. The actual applicability of the practice is a question to be left to evolution.

But those are apps, which use the hardware as a distribution mechanism, not the hardware itself. And it's still a matter of choice whether you use, misuse, or abuse those apps. I'll be frank: I think the author is saying that capitalism invented the iPhone to addict otherwise well-adjusted people, whereas I think the truth is probably closer to opposite: users shaped the platform into the most convenient delivery device for the dopamine hits they actually wanted.

I strongly disagree. Mainstream news has no place on here. I accept that the philosophy of the forum is "if it's voted, it stays", but what you're asking is pushing too far on the other direction. I enjoy the discussion around major and wide reaching world news events, but anything less than breaking news such as "the Queen has died", "Russia has invaded Ukraine" or "100 countries to close borders due to a virus" has no place in here.

Otherwise this will soon become News, not Hacker News.
"did anybody even buy the second-best selling stationary game console ever", really?
My dad flew F-80s in the Korean War. The F-80 had a nasty characteristic. If you flew it too fast, it would pitch up, and the sudden aerodynamic forces would rip the wings off. Unfortunately, the engine was more than powerful enough to do this in level flight, so the pilot had to be keenly aware of this at all times.

(The solution was swept wings, exemplified by its successor, the F-86.)

This is talking about the public sector. Public sector unions are a disaster, with the police unions being the the star example. Unlike the private sector, you can't capture profits from the owners because there is no profit to begin with. Instead, the money comes from the more junior employees and in the form of taxpayer debt. Thanks to unions, 40% of Chicago's education budget goes towards paying pensions. Meanwhile, younger teachers are stuck in dead-end part time roles because that's all the city has budget for.
Good suggestion, I reached out folding. Let's see what happens.
Inflation is high because corporations have increased consumer prices well above their own increases in costs.

There's just as much evidence for this claim as "inflation is demand > supply" or "inflation is M2".
I remember a local evening news interview with the Air National Guard crew on the same or next night after the incident. I remember at least one of them saying something about the possibility seeing a missile. At the time I thought it was a pretty big deal for a helicopter crew member to say that on the news. I always found it odd that I didn't hear more about that specific account over the coming days/weeks. That stuck with me for some reason.
I enjoy using HEY from 37signals. It's different than other services (more opinionated), but it keeps my inbox under control. They also take privacy seriously.

Don't put the blame solely on "consumers".

There's also the laws which allow (or don't prevent) this concentration to occur. The usual litany includes:

- the tax bracket for the wealthiest should be 90% or higher, like it used to be.

- have a global wealth tax

- remove Taft-Hartley limitations on union power and prohibit so-called "right-to-work" laws.

- have strong protections for renters
> Yeah, technically syntax definitions are code

No, it actually has code examples. Follow the links from my previous comment.
While this shouldn’t legally be allowed to happen, in my opinion, I do agree.

Consumers don’t feel any ownership of the bigger picture. Most people refuse to make ethical purchasing decisions and happily give their money to people they know are doing terrible things.

How can that be changed?
Author here. One of my books was pirated and wide spread some time ago within the community I'm in. My income dropped almost immediately, I am loosing $Xk worth of sales every month. Not motivated to write another book.

The question is - why should you have a right to spread _my work_ for free? I spent almost 2 years on writing the book. I hope you have a good answer.

> I am not sure ARMv1 (and v2) even had supervisor vs user mode, etc.? (It may have, Google isn't helping me here)

v2 at least had 4 modes: user mode, supervisor, IRQ and FIQ. They were encoded in the low 2 bits of r15 (which weren't otherwise needed, since the PC was always word-aligned).

The original Archimedes was intended to run a "preemptively multi tasking, multi-threaded, multi-user, written in Acorn-extended Modula2+" system called ARX. But when that wasn't ready in time, they ended up just porting the 8-bit BBC Micro MOS to the new 32-bit machines!

The problem is to ensure the quality of the meal. Do you like food that is uncooked fish like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche ? Is it well prepared to avoid transmitting diseases? Part of the requirements to open a restaurant are to ensure that, but I'm not sure if the regulation in Switzerland is toooooooooo annoying. [Hi from Argentina!]

"Advocates and activists are working against decades of misinformation from oil execs"

This is a popular misconception but not really true. Go search for and read stuff that argues against various climatological beliefs and you'll find they're almost all unaffiliated individuals, often retired engineers or researchers of various kinds. Even in the case where they are affiliated with think tanks and the like, that came long after they independently built a name for themselves engaging in skepticism - the funding followed their beliefs, not the other way around.

This does actually matter. I've become a hard climate change skeptic especially in the past few years, and the first step along the road was going looking for these "oil execs" because I thought it'd be funny to laugh at their transparently motivated reasoning. Couldn't find them. The so-called oil companies all reinvented themselves as energy companies a long time ago and have significant non-oil investments now. They're all fully on board with the climate narrative. Instead there's a whole lot of earnest bloggers who make strong points about the robustness and quality of the underlying science. Before COVID I was only marginally receptive to widespread claims of corruption in academic science. Nowadays it's far easier to believe and I'm listening.

"Even something as straightforward as replace coal with renewables is deeply unpopular"

It's unpopular because it's a strategy that doesn't work technologically, that's why Europe now faces an energy crisis, but anyone who pointed out out over the preceding decades was immediately attacked with vicious ad-hominems such as those you're displaying here. "But what about storage?" ... "shut up oil exec who profits off destroying the Earth". That kind of thing will make the people doing it unpopular pretty quickly in any context.

It's not a very well thought out article.

There are probably things in our "routine" that don't need to be there or could be automated. ...or maybe we've taken on certain support tasks that require too much maintenance. ...or maybe they really are necessary.

This is the complexity of thinking and planning you need to do it you run out of free time.

I'll say that with three young kids - I've entirely run out of enough free time to even handle all the routines. Stuff breaks as a result and it's a bit of chaotic juggling in this house these days.

...but it's also true that we underestimate the benefits of creative ideas because they don't come to fruition for a long time - so we can overload ourselves with routine tasks that might have a net lower value.
Mostly among elderly and risk groups as these groups are the ones with high risk of hospitalization and death.

But they also are at high risk of hospitalization and death from other sources, not only from covid. Although covid was more prominent at certain period and vaccines helped to bring down the numbers.
the problem with this low probability events far out into the future is if you reduce the chance of one low probability event then you might increase the chance of another low probability event. you may decrease the chance of catastrophic climate change due to global warming but increase the chance of global cooling such that there is no actual change in risk. or you may increase the chance that a large part of humanity is wiped out by an asteroid because you have slowed down industrial progress. or any other weird butterfly effect because you are looking at inherently low probability events and trying to build policy around costing them. how these low probability events end up being handled is just whoever has the most convincing narrative which is not a good way of running policy.
In Europe, everybody has a long history of being invaded by everybody else, so trying to spin that as "Russia bad" requires a very myopic outlook.

Russia also has a long history of being invaded from the West. That's why Russia is super nervious about NATO expansion.

You could make a decent argument that they have actually caused this recession. 75 bps rate hikes immediately after a crisis where they slam rates to 0 and do a ton of QE does not sound like a particularly responsible form of monetary policy.
Sometimes they drop ports or backward compatibility though.
I think that there is a difference between threatening to use nukes and actually using them. Threats make people scared and perhaps willing to compromise, which sows division among Ukraine's allies and favors Russia. However, I think that detonating a nuke in Ukraine would achieve the opposite. It would unite people in anger and revenge. This is why I think Russia's threats are probably empty. Of course, in any cases, mutually assured destruction works. People in Moscow have as little desire to be nuked as we have. They will remove the mad dictator before things get out of hands.

Because genuine supply chain problem-induced price increases gave them cover to increase prices on things without supply chain problems.

And also because in late 2020/early 2021, it appeared that labor was about to get a bit uppity and wee bit more powerful than it had been, so price increases were a nice preemptive move to deal with upcoming compensation issues.
