A century ago when glass bottle reuse was still common in the west, glass bottles were cleaned automatically by machines. A bottle cleaning plant should be able to achieve very high throughput with relatively few workers, paying them properly shouldn't be a problem.
I would first think "18+" and I certainly wouldn't have a cutoff at retirement age unless it was "working-age adults".
That was 100 years ago. Since then many countries have successfully reduced the usage of other harmful substances, for instance tobacco which was done by prohibiting advertising. It doesn't need a ban to change the public's behavior.
Not a huge increase. Inflation is under control in the sense it's not rising, but they need to still pull a ton of money out of the economy; or let it ride.

Powell's speech doesn't matter at all until we see the results of midterms.
Another reason is that imperative languages are all that's necessary for many (maybe even the majority) of business use cases.

There seems no obvious reason that everything good would be profitable, as if profitability is an expression of goodness. But as long as you can fund the good stuff somehow, it'll be OK.
Anecdotally, coverage and speed in my area are slightly better with AT&T than they were with T-Mobile. Based on actual data, AT&T beats out T-Mobile for coverage and speed across most of the US.

Yes it supports wi-fi calling (my Pixel 6a defaults to that whenever I'm at home). And yes it supports tethering / hot spots.
Not really. I keep even more than that. And at a finer grained resolution. And have done so for almost two decades. It's all put on to a write-only-by-the-capturing-device/read-only-by-other-device secured storage system.
It is similar to a religion, because if everyone agrees to adopt the same reality, then there's easy communication and a shared background understanding that makes it easy for everyone to work together. Picking a religion is a society-wide coordination problem, and strategies of shaming and in-group/out-group exclusion make sense in this context, where they wouldn't about flavors of ice cream, for example. We see the same thing happening in tech all the time. I don't want to learn a new technology, which means I don't want you to learn it, because I don't want it to become something that engineers are expected to know. And so on.

The point is to understand that "right tool for the job" and "C++ for everything" are religious positions, too. There might even be a dominant religious position, which likes to style itself as just the disinterested rational viewpoint.

The FP folks might be a somewhat more fervent (crazy mathematical) sect, but there's no getting away from religion, though we can call it by other names (fashion, "best practices", ...).

If you read the GitHub issue, the debate was not over its existence, just that instance operators should be able to configure it, which it sounds like they now can anyway (last comment on issue, he said it was added).

There was no need, and is quite malicious, to imply and talk down to their own users/supporters of their software as anything"-ist" in their motivations, which in many cases is considered a more corrosive/ruinous label (court of public opinion) than "convicted criminal" (court of law) in the West.
I think they should charge people based on the number of followers they have. That's where value comes from and they should look to collect it.
User-supplied data isn't necessary for tracking and advertising, just more convenient. Obfuscatory methods can stymie this to a degree, but the average person neither understands nor wants to deal with those. Common tracking methods like tracking pixels and share buttons can be avoided at the client level, but the most popular clients have begun to use side channels to evade DNS-based blocking (with which one can protect many), while browser extensions are again not understood or used widely.

Networking is simply an inherently unprivate activity, there is no way to talk to an endpoint without that endpoint being able to know something about the other side. There is no way to prevent the middle-men who route the messages from knowing where it came from and where it's going, and if the same entity has control or visibility into a large enough portion of the network, to identify the endpoints.
You can be a failure while being successful in business.
I've seen a few recent projects hard coding things like this. I am not a fan. Not because I want to use the words but rather I want to be in control of the instance I am running. UnrealIRCD for example has an optional module for word filtering that is quite powerful and can be left entirely blank, or use regex to replace words, block words or kick someone off. I just prefer having flexibility and multiple options. One of the goals of open source was to give people freedom of choice.

It's too bad as I really like the idea. I suspect and hope more things like this will pop up with recent events. Ultimately it is their project and their choice. I think I will stick with phpBB [1] as a forum, UnrealIRCD for the deep dark places [2], uMurmur for real time text and voice and the Mumla app to access uMurmur from my phone but that is just my personal preference.

This is a silly request, but it has been my white whale for a while. For the past few years I've set up every proof by contradiction with "Presume, foolishly, ...". I thought I got it from this series of stories, but every once in a while I give them a close read and fail to find anything like it. Maybe I saw it in an HN comment? Anyone remember something like that?

It makes perfect sense from coca cola's perspective to sponsor a climate conference, what makes no sense at all and what I think GP is getting at is that it's completely insane from the climate conference's perspective to be sponsored by coca cola.

> I know, because my devices are being monitored. If they start uploading data all the time I'll know about it. And I bet I'm not the only one doing that.

I had previously been pretty happy with this explanation until I got my hands on the new Pixel 7 where the transcription/live subtitles/translation is scarily accurate and completely offline. I'll believe they're not streaming audio out of the house and "listening to me" that way, but it would be easy to exfiltrate a very accurate transcription.
This is terrific stuff, honestly. I could see an Airtable integration being really quite useful. There were lots of times when I will run some quick scraping, some cleaning up via an Upworker, and then join against something else.

Here volume matters, and all misses are just lost data which I'm fine with. The general purpose nature of the tool makes it tremendous. There was a time when I would have easily paid $0.05 / query for this. The only problem with the spreadsheet setting is that I don't want it to repeatedly execute and charge me so I'll be forced to use `=GPT3()` and then copy-paste "as values" back into the same place which is annoying.

I have an EE background but worked in webdev for many years. I got pretty bored with webdev, and had the opportunity to get into embedded Rust development, so I did. Its been really awesome, learnt so much both in embedded but also hardware engineering.

But now I think I'll head back to web development for my next job - I think web is better as an employee or as a contractor. It seems to me there is more freedom in webdev, often its possible to work from home or abroad... Embedded on the other hand is encumbered with equipment, oscilloscopes, devboards, protocol analyizers, you name it and often requires onsite hours.

And then there is the pay and job availability... I recall interviewing for a role that involved designing a full-blown operating system for use in the auto-industry. The role was paying 40-50K euro a year in Germany, which is insanely low. React developers earn substantially more, but are required to know substantially less.

The only reason why (I can imagine) someone would chose embedded is probably because its very rewarding and mentally stimulating. Its awesome creating physical devices. Its awesome interfacing with the real world. Its awesome deep diving into bootloaders, memory allocations and exercising a fundamental understanding of computing.

The commenter was saying drinking is an alternative to dangerous activities, but according to the article, that same drinking can end up killing them anyways (possibly in a delayed manner vs the dangerous activity), no driving required.
Oh, I forgot to mention, because it doesn't really have an equivalent in C++ but unsafe Traits are excellent.

Most of Rust's traits are safe, which means you can't get them wrong but then on the other hand I can't rely on their meaning beyond syntax. Unsafe traits (which need the unsafe keyword to implement) can make promises and if they break the promise that's Undefined Behaviour.

For example Rust's iterators provide a hint about how big they are. But the TrustedLen unsafe trait on an iterator says its hint isn't just a hint, this actually promises it is true, if it's not true then it's OK if the program crashes. So for example an array's provided iterator is TrustedLen, the array of six things knows it has six things in it, that's what an array of six things is, duh. So code using that iterator can correctly emit code to handle exactly six things, and it will work. Whereas my GoogleSearcher HTTP API might hint it has six things, but then actually Google only returned four, because Google, it isn't TrustedLen, so code might optimise for six based on the hint, but it mustn't crash because I didn't promise six it was only a hint. Emitting code that blows up if there aren't exactly six items is a bug.

Yes, Tesla is orders of magnitude more efficient than industry. They also maintain the highest profit margins in the industry (14.95% vs 4.32%).

For comparison, if Toyota was as efficient as Tesla they would've posted 2022 Q3 profits of ~$24 billion, not $3.1B. Tesla achieved $3.9B from only 344k cars. Operational efficiency is their leverage.

Cars sold (2022 Q3)

Toyota: 2.6M (+5% y/y)
Tesla: 344K (+42% y/y)

Operating profit excl. FX impact
Toyota: $3.1B (-38% y/y)
Tesla: $3.9B (+97% y/y)
I suspect this is partially because internal efforts and agendas take priority over open source community at this point.

For example, I created an issue requesting a flamegraph visualization in grafana[1] and now it makes sense that they didn't initially respond because they were building it internally in secret and didn't want to spoil the big reveal (when they did respond they did mention that it was a secret).

They're also less incentivized now to tend to issues and PRs that help others outside of their ecosystem (i.e. competing logs, metrics, tracing, profiling, etc products).

Right, but they are in the stage of rapid changes, so current leadership may not stay for too long.
According to the Reddit link in another comment it looks like T-Mobile treats Google Fi higher priority than MVNOs, it's in the same tier as the normal plans.

Exactly, I don't think you can rely on a naïve import to determine maliciousness. We've basically had to build out heuristics that are capable of walking function calls for this exact reason. Otherwise things are just too noisy.

Coca Cola (and many other soft drinks) is sold in reusable plastic bottles in Germany. They are slightly thicker than the disposable bottles used elsewhere, especially the rim, presumably so a machine can handle it more easily.
In 1991, the Information Council for the Environment was founded by the National Coal Association with the expressed purpose of fabricating uncertainty around climate science.

They provided multiple scripts to Simmons Advertising for Rush Limbaugh to read and pass off as his personal dark horse take on climate policy.

Refer to pages 9 and 12 in the PDF linked below [2].

Would you say the coal industry wasn't a very profitable group? Do you think this is the only group who leveraged Limbaugh's voice to deliberately spread misinformation?

I do believe he positively influenced these companies. I also believe he seems to be an insufferable megalomaniac; perhaps less malicious than others but still not healthy. I don't think his goals at twitter are long term profitability or a healthier American society/democracy, so I am very skeptical of his character.
I am one of the few stubborn people I guess, that insists in wanting to work with C++, C, Lua...

All I see is Python, Ruby, JS, Java, etc... jobs. So why bother learning a language that has no jobs for it? No wonder the amount of developers are decreasing. It is just offer meeting the demand.
That wouldn't really help, though.

Even if Mastodon took off, there would be more and less desirable nodes. Governments, and then celebrities, would seek those desirable connections to avoid being associated with the spammers, trolls, etc. Then the spammers, trolls, etc. would demand access to whoever controls the most desirable nodes, and the fight would be exactly where it is now.

They can move it off Twitter, but as long as the fight remains about a perceived "right to be heard" as well as a right to speak, it's going to be the same fight.
It depends. In a broad stroke sense, small companies often need generalists more than specialists, and big companies are the opposite.

HN, at least historically, leans towards start ups and entrepreneurship. These often (not always) do better starting with some generalists.
This is a classic example of a 'Wicked Problem' [0]

Plastic is a literal miracle material - light-weight, infinitely formable, strong, flexible, not made from observable natural resources (e.g. trees <> paper), water resistant, rot-resistant, sterile, a meaningful carbon sink (lol - better than burning that oil!) etc.

Other materials that do not have those properties should be recycled for various reasons, but those characteristics do not really apply to plastic.

For example, if we sucked up every drop of oil in the crust, made it plastic and then re-buried it in landfills, there's barely any observable downsides, whereas cutting down every tree or mining/smelting all the aluminum would be noticeably bad.

Humans, being the pattern matchers we are see 'recycling glass/paper/aluminum is good, plastic bottles are similar to glass bottles, recycling plastic must be good too'

So instead of doing the very simple thing of just burying our plastic (like we used to), a bunch of well-meaning pattern matchers spend a lot of effort trying to make plastic recycling work, even though, for reasons intrinsic to the chemical properties that make plastic a miracle material it is a mostly pointless endeavor.

Then, as always happens, bad actors step in to make money of the well-intended who are at the end of their rope (in this case Asian 'recyclers' who would accept plastic trash and recycle it by putting it in the ocean).

And so now, not only do we have a ton more plastic in the ocean, we have airports banning plastic bottles, which increases the weight of flights (glass bottles are heavy! and for some reason almost no vendors at SFO sell tetrapak water!) and burns more jet fuel.

And any reasonable person who argues 'the oil came from the ground, why don't we just put it back when we are done with it is met with vague concerns about microplastics.

So yeah, welcome to society, I guess.

I'm sure it varies from birth center to birth center - one would have the midwife scramble at any hour of the day or night to get into the room, the other we used had the ball.

I can see the advantages to the ball but the first was overall better I feel (but there are so many variables it's hard to really tell). We've technically never had the doctor/midwife "assigned" on-hand during the actual delivery for various reasons.

I've always found Stephen Wolfram's thoughts to be overly self indulgent, and this is no exception. But it is illuminating since it reveals what I most loathe: the productive life.

Being productive is not a good. It leads to wanting to attach a computer to oneself while going on a walk outdoors!
So hire Rust and FPGA devs.
Another comment opening with a personal attack. I hope you're not an airline executive.

While the requirements for the MAX were largely defined by Southwest Airlines, Boeing's sales targets for the plane focused largely in developing ecosystems, i.e. airlines in Southeast Asia or Africa.

It's not logical nor practical to think that pilots in developing countries should meet the training norms in the US. Developing countries don't have air forces or general aviation ecosystems anything close to the size and scale of the US.

If you are going to develop a plane to sell in a certain market, the plane must be able to accommodate the needs of the market. This is why automation and fly-by-wire is the way to go. It's also why the future will be further automation, up to and including autonomous flight.

I don't disagree at all. We're building an open source sandbox for devs right now for this exact reason. Linked it in another comment.

It's a problem with every open ecosystem where libraries can be downloaded and run. Rust, Golang, Node all have the same problem. That's why I think it's better to assume anything we download is malicious. Stuff like Bubblewrap and Qubes OS seem to be the better approach compared to relying on vulnerability hunters and scanning tools.
Agreed, I think that would be a good bet.

Separate version control from deployment. I don’t feel sure I understand the problem from your description: what does “a lot of the scripts need to be deployed at different times” mean, and what does that have to do with branching?

Something I've always wondered is if there's any reason to have so many different typing engines. TypeScript, for example, seems feature complete enough to provide a mechanism to type any language. (I'm almost sure this can be proven.)

The real challenge instead would be to design the syntax extensions for typing so they feel natural.

`sig { returns(Blah) }` feels ugly.
I honestly find 2fa enforcement detremential and it should be entirely possible to opt out - case in point my current bank (not by choice, ridiculous country that can't manage to join the euro) are disabling SMS 2fa for online banking and suggest using their app, except the app doesn't work (they'll still send 3ds via SMS though!!) and they've basically stopped bothering to reply - anyway the point really is that people who are not morons should be able to opt out, because the onus and damage on the end user often outweighs any possible risk of stealing funds etc (there's literally nothing in the account, standing order sends all of my income to a useful bank abroad the day after it arrives).

As an aside, open banking is also a joke as it doesn't allow the end user access to their own account, only 3rd parties - simple API access would make this problem moot, as where I hold my funds grants me API access and I can do things like trigger transfers on webhooks etc, very simple and infinitely useful.
