All jokes aside, I have to wonder if Tadahito Mochinaga pondered at all the story and characters through the lens of his own political beliefs.

First, there's the obvious "Red" part of the film's title character, which one might see as amusing or ironic given the term was used in the west for communists.

Or in any way did he look at the story line of Santa's whole socioeconomic model centering around both pseudo (slave?) labor of the elves, combined with the socialist "toys for all" message of Santa. Should the workers rise up, or accept that their labor allows for socialism (of toys to children) to flourish?
Is the delay in minutes or seconds? I can't set it to more than 10, so I assume minutes. I had it set to 1.
So what's your alternative proposal?

I 100% agree that paying the maid more is the right answer in this specific case, but saying that the Democrats are part of the problem, even if it's true, fails to account for the facts that a) the Republicans are much more of the problem, and b) there are no other viable parties to vote for due to our voting system.

"Voting for the Democrats" is a necessary, but insufficient, part of the solution. Another part is "voting for more progressive Democrats in primary elections". Again, necessary but insufficient. I don't have the whole answer...but I know that bitching about not being able to change anything...doesn't change anything. And, in fact, makes it much less likely that positive change happens, because it either makes people feel helpless, or directs them to utterly impotent methods. Which then fail, and leave them (once again) feeling helpless.
What an idea. I will do same with some popular websites.
Similar thing is with call recording, as one of my SIM card is from Germany my phone doesn't allow me to enable call recording, but, as I don't live in Germany, and it's legal to do so here, I have a manufacturer-specific app (3rd party, ofc) that basically runs in background and periodically and on boot, re-enables this setting. Wonder if something similar could be made, or exists for your phone.

> Also, the country with largest percentage of imprisoned people is US, not China. It’s also not China where police routinely murders random people on the streets with impunity.

This is a very tough argument to make given how China has very little freedom of press, speech, association or information.

All of western Europe has really well developed pilgrim trails. I hiked the coastal one in Portugal a few years ago that leads into the main Spanish ones.
General note: up until 1994, there was no law barring universities requiring faculty to retire after a certain age [0], [1]. In other countries, it is not uncommon to have a mandatory retirement age for public servants. The effect of the federal ban on mandatory retirement ages for professors changed the academic job market in a pretty profound way: there used to be a greater and more reliable number of job openings in every field.

You've identified that slave labor happens in the US prison system and elsewhere, I think that most people would agree with this. I don't see any evidence that slave labor comprises "a large amount of what you use."
You enter a new country, in case Germany, you're automatically opted in to the emergency broadcast notifications, as any other local laws.

The EU legislation allows "opt out" from level 2/level 3 notifications, but is based on the notion that messages are received "without the need for the public to have to opt-in".

So for compliance sake, you're opted in. Maybe this should only happen the first time you enter EU or a member state, and then either your phone or cell service provider should remember your preference (which is probably not worth the resources to implement for the cell service provider, but maybe your phone already does?).

I'd be interested to see if this already exists, i.e. do you only need to opt out in Germany once? Does that opt-out at EU level?

When your wife disabled notifications, she merely opted out of notifications in whatever jurisdiction she was in (presumably US?), but opting out of something in US doesn't mean you opted out of every other similar law from every other nation state.
Well, being contrary on HN is actually the majority viewpoint. Piggybacking on other people's thoughts and poking holes in them is the easiest way to maintain a healthy defensive wall of superiority while communicating.
I don't believe this is entirely true anymore. Yes, years ago, the baseband processor (and firmware) had full DMA capabilities to the RAM ostensibly managed by the OS, and could do nefarious things if it wanted to. But I believe nowadays the baseband is a bit more isolated, and communication with it is mediated by the CPU and OS.

Some manufacturers likely still implement the "old" architecture, though.

I'm not saying that universities aren't using PhD students as cheap labor and then cutting them loose (they absolutely are), but a more charitable side to it is not that universities want to "hire up", it's that they want diversity of thought/background. Hiring your own graduates, who have been "raised" in the same culture, can lead to isolation and groupthink plus it reinforces the existing specialties within your department. The degree to which so-called academic incest is a factor varies from school to school and department to department, but I don't think it's wholly unreasonable as part of faculty hiring considerations.
> Once you are at the stage of looking for tenured faculty jobs, your publication record is everything

If a university thinks a PhD student's publication record is good enough to grant him or her a doctorate, it should be good enough to offer him a faculty position.
I'm not sure what people think comments like this accomplish. Americans aren't super gung ho about America. The great universal American past-time is criticizing America.
> PhD students are mostly cheap labor to carry out research for faculty.

This is true.

> Most of them are immigrants

This is false.
I have a PhD and this is absolutely not the reason universities don't want to hire their own. In the modern day, there is no reason whatsoever that university affiliation limits the spread of ideas or collaborations. The reason is there is a funnel - only the top x% of students get the TT positions and students of prestigious institutions are just more likely to have the big name publications that forms the sole criterion for academic hiring. Even the prestigious institutions like to spread the mantra of "we don't hire our own" but this is just so that professors can avoid having the awkward conversations with their students along the lines of "you're good, you're just not better than <y> candidate".
Nope, I love it. I feel like I've been waiting all my adult-life for this kind of tech.

If you want to make a really dramatic movie, have it survive in giant rock fragments knocked into orbit around the sun when the Chicxulub meteor struck the Earth. The inside would hopefully remain very cold and shielded from external radation.

I suspect though that not only would breakdown of DNA still happen on it's own, but atomic decay within the rock would be enough to destroy the DNA.
I don't know and you don't know but xiphias2 seems to know. Can you (xiphias2) describe your 'experiment' and its outcome?

If the bots are 'gone' - are they already, all of them? - that would certainly make it a better place. I'll still not get an account as I find the format not conducive for the type of conversation I'm wont to engage in but it is clear that a bot-free (or at least bot-labelled) and bias-free (as far as possible, there will still be a weird [1] bias but I can live with that) Twitter is less of a problem than the biased bot-hive it used to be.

For what it's worth, I think you're right, although it's been a very long time since I did any mechanics. The tidal locking isn't completely perfect, so the elevator would probably have to be basically a spool of rope rather than an anchor; and the Moon's axis of rotation precesses every 18 years ish per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini%27s_laws, so again there would need to be quite a lot of flex in the elevator; but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
Pet rocks were actually quite profitable, the creator made a few million dollars if I recall correctly. Contrast that to unprofitable ventures today, like food delivery companies or Twitter.
Fair. It also loves to do full system scans at the worst time and send my fans to full throttle.
I started buying CDs again, which I think I stopped doing for over a decade at least. I run Roon and ripping the CDs just involves sticking the CD into the drive. It's not terribly burdensome to do when a new disk arrives. Qobuz has music for sale (downloads without DRM), and it also integrates with Roon for when I just want to stream.

I also used to buy FLACs on bandcamp, but Epic bought them, so we'll see how long it takes for that to get ruined.
No, not even remotely. FTX is a centralized exchange, and is the opposite of what crypto’s original philosophy is
I always find these arguments overstated. Obviously, there are ways to make things hard to read based on the type. It is rarely the long pole.

This article is odd, in that every bad example is just purposely bad. Yes, having characters overlap each other will make it harder to read. Also yes, putting too much space between characters will make it harder to read. No, this does not imply that there is a set proper space between characters or words that will help.

IANAL but I think integrating AGPL code would affect the license of the rest of the codebase too: Substack would be forced to release the rest of their codebase as AGPL too. This is why AGPL is considered a "viral" license.
It didn't use to be. But as soon as they started launching national security payloads on the Falcon Heavy and the Delta IV Heavy retired, they became the only heavy-lift launch vehicle on the market capable of taking up national security payloads. Until Vulcan/Centaur enters the game.
I didn't phrase it correctly. What I meant was that Mr Steele was part of the Java org in the early days. He is from a generation before my time but from what I gather a Scheme/Lisp luminary is someone who is competitive with the Golang designers and the PLT PhDs in general.

The most glaring issues were fixed in Java5 (similar to how golang just had their generics story improved). It took us all the way to Java8 to have a semi-pleasant language. I'm still waiting to see if Golang's generics are good enough to make abstractions/monadic operations similar to the Java's Streams widespread. If memory serves, basic pattern matching is coming in Java20, only 12+ years after Scala.

In contract to, say, virtual threads, a lot of these are language-level features. So they could have been done _much_ earlier. A generation of developers had their taste for abstractions skewed by the early days Java. Doing the job of the compiler in their heads. Now the next generation finds itself in the same situation with Golang.

No, proving that you have adequate protection. Banks don’t need to show that every transaction is legit because they do show that they have processes for dealing with crime (try anonymously depositing $50k in cash).

Cryptocurrency does not have those safeguards and is famously popular for all kinds of criminal activities so it’s hard to take seriously the assertion that it’s all victimless and doesn’t need the same countermeasures.
This is an extremely low quality anti-academic article. I've noticed this Big Think organization seems to vacillate between trying to put on a veneer of intellectual respectability and diving headfirst into pushing pure drivel like this article. Even the times they try to be better aren't very good.
Those times referred to the speed of the actual ICs on the PCB. A “60 ns” SRAM IC takes up to 60 nanoseconds from the (input) address lines going stable to the (output) data lines going stable. If you sampled the data bus during those 60 nanoseconds, you might get incomplete data. Swapping for 50 ns modules means the ICs were verified to take less time for the data bus to be valid.

It’s a bit like overclocking your memory nowadays. Basically, the 50 and 60 nanosecond parts might be the same silicon, but the 50 ns ones were validated to perform at that speed. Today, a 3200 MT/s DDR4 module doesn’t mean it won’t run at 3600 MT/s; just that it was only verified to run at the former.

---

The big difference between the two memory formats, however, is that DDR is pipelined. In the old days, you would present an address on the bus, hold it, and then wait for the data to come back. Only after sampling the data could you request a new address. DDR, being pipelined, allows you to request an address, and, before the data comes back, request a new address. After a while, the data from the first address would come back, followed by the data from the second.

That alone makes apples-to-apples comparisons hard.
This dataset is a massive failure when it comes to ethical research practices. LAION-5B openly indexed copyrighted data that it had no business collecting. They failed to go through an IRB when curating this data. The ethics review for this paper was a joke, where the ethics reviewer raises valid concerns and then discards their review because "if they don't publish it here, they'll publish it somewhere else anyways" [0].

LAION-5B has enabled some really cool technologies and a lot of promising startups. This work should have been carried out responsibly.

When I worked in a LARGE eCommerce company maybe 6 years ago, everything was driven by CSV files dropped in an FTP folder. There were a few exceptions where companies had API's. Still even those were GET requests initiated by us, and we didn't want to overload them so it wasn't super up-to-date, but that was the norm. I tried to break out to do my own thing, and I realized those automated systems were only for the big guys.

If you were small, you don't even get the privlidge of an inventory file. Vendors don't have time to deal with small guys, and it can be super difficult to get started.

Playing with crypto, and NFT's, I realized this was what I wish was the norm. The indexers were close to real-time. The chain I was using (AVAX) had a finality of 4 seconds, and gas is cents.

What i'm going to describe isn't a solution to a problem the big guys have. They had enough sway with their vendors to get good systems. But for small guys like me, open access to automated systems would have been a god send. My dream system would be something like this:

Think of this happening in a subnet (an app specific blockchain that doesn't share space with other apps, so scale is not affected by other apps)

1. A Trusted supplier mints a NFT for each of their SKU's (yeah trust and crypto don't go together ideologically, that's a purity problem crypto needs to get over itself, sometimes trust is useful... if you try to build the whole thing trustless, it's not better than traditional systems).

2. These NFT's are listed in any NFT marketplace that cares to list them. (with subnet-to-subnet messaging, you don't need to duplicate the contracts... so shouldn't have major scale issue. This is a brand new feature, so i'm not super sure though.)

3. I as a small scale vendor list a sku on my normal site. I can take payment as normal, but then I can call the NFT's index to get real-time inventory (even though I have no preexisting relationship with the vendor)

4. I get an order, I buy the NFT off the marketplace, and burn the NFT. My customers details are provided in the NFT burn contract. An app specific precompile let's me transmit those details to the vendor without making it public on the block chain (with proof it received it correctly).

5. After the NFT is burned, an ERC20 token is dropped in my stores wallet. After I get enough of these, I can trade them in for a volme rebate. This let's the small vendors get access to effectively what is a volume discount.

I suppose this could be a SaSS app, but there's a bunch of side benefits to crypto, such as defi, tooling etc. But mainly vendors can customize their own terms if they own the full contract chain.

Why do you care if a number is greater than 100? That has to actually mean something to you. What does it actually mean? Is it a validation error? Is it a warning trigger? Why not have a data type that actually expresses that meaning?

Wait, are you hung up on implementation nonsense? Sure, there's a low-level operation that returns a 0 or 1 that you convert into your actually-meaningful data type. But that doesn't need to have a surface language boolean type that's privileged by the language design. And that's what's important here - language design. People write programs in a language, not compiled code. The model the language provides is of critical importance. It's how the users of the language think and how they communicate with each other.

And this isn't abstraction. Boolean is the abstraction. It throws away all but a single bit of information. This is creating data types with semantics that carry far more than that single bit. It's making your code less abstract.
Lol, no. Every technology product has to be modified to comply with FCC, not with whatever Chinese equivalent is. Completely reworking TV shows for American viewers is commonplace (Top Gear, The Office). And there is a long history of absolutely wild censorship, eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist.
This is a personal opinion, but I find Google Sans to be terrible so this is quite ironic.

While agree that it would be nice from the Substack to give credit to Ghost, they are not required to do.

It's unfair to complain about Substack doing exactly what they are explicitly allowed to do by the company that released Ghost under that specific licence that they choose to.
I feel bad for them. They helped Ghosn escape an unfair justice system.
It's not the default of the device though.

We need to get rid of those in power who decide on things they have no fucking clue about it. The easiest way to do that is to not just go vote, but educate everyone else about who is running and why they are/are not a good choice. The harder way is also (at least for the US folks) showing up and engaging at primary votes and holding the primary candidates accountable, which takes a lot more effort but has the advantage that your vote is amplified in its effects.

I think this article really misunderstands the structure of academia. The paper looks to have done a bunch of data collection, which is great; but the results could be predicted without collecting any data at all.

Structurally, if the average professor graduates 10 students over the course of their career, half of which go to industry, then an institution with a given prestige level will send 5x as many graduates to academia as it has slots to hire professors.

So just from pure statistics, if everyone is trying to hire for new faculty jobs PhDs from the most prestigious institutions, one should expect the average PhD graduate who goes into academic to get a job at an institution about 5x less prestigious (one a percentage basis) as the one where they got their PhD. (Hiring is of course more complicated than that, but I think you don't need to make a lot of assumptions about the professor hiring process explain the data in the article).

It's not exactly a pyramid scheme design; there was significant growth in the total number of professor jobs, due to population growth and increasing college attendance rates. And in many fields, there exists high demand for PhDs for work in both industry and government research labs. But these statistics mean that only top schools have the option for a large portion of PhD graduates to get professorships... And I don't think there's any realistic reform that academia could make to change this reality.
The problem with these Chinese comment farms is they think we like the US. They take something bad about China as an insult to them personally, and think doing the same will bother the western world. Hah, nope, we hate it too.
