> but this isn't cost, it's ridiculous profit margins

Profit margins are a different discussion. If you charge me $20 for a cookie or you charge me $15 + a $5 baking fee, your profit margins are the same. We can argue either way that they are ridiculous. But you shouldn't be able to advertise that you sell $15 cookies if there's no way to buy them for $15.

IANAL but has this been submitted to the OSI? I read the license and don't even see anything they'd even question. They list many licenses (https://opensource.org/licenses/) that they don't recommend. Is it just not used broadly enough to warrant their time yet? It seems fit for inclusion.

Definitely seems to fill the middle ground between "open source" meaning "sanctioned by the OSI" and "meet the open source definition OSD".
Those ought to be included in the price.

> For millennia, there was barely any growth at all and the very concept of progress was dubious.

This is known as the Malthusian Trap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism

It's not that there was no growth for millennia. It's that people reproduced until any increase in productivity was eaten away by having more mouths to feed.

Once birth rates started to go down, and the industrial revolution happened - population growth stopped exceeding productivity growth - and living conditions started improving instead of declining.

As long as birth rates keep going down - I don't think we have to worry about Malthusianism returning.

Yes there is increasing threat to freedom of speech, but India is not new to this. The left leaning Congress had even worse norms when they imposed martial law (Emergency).

India has a robust sphere of public debate and draconian laws and acts of discrimination by the government are regularly criticised. In more cases than not the government embarrasses itself by its clumsy use of power to restrict opposition, like in the case of the BBC documentary which did not uncover anything new.

Constant vigilance is required. I am not a BJP supporter, but I don't think the intent of the BJP is to suppress debate. They seek legitimacy. BJP is clearly toning down its more radical elements and is getting more mature judging by the way it allowed the Bharat Jodo Yatra (Join India Campaign) and understands that a robust opposition is in national interest.

I am more hopeful than this article.
The problem isn't the deception. I'm sure they would argue that you see the fee before you agree. The real problem is that fees are much more difficult to price-shop. Fees are anticompetitive.
I'd love to switch direct to this, but it needs Firefox to support OPFS or for some form of IndexedDB workaround akin to absurd-sql to be upstreamed for my use case where I'd like storage to be persistent.

Exactly. They want to build ever larger accelerators just for the hell of it at this point. How is it not apparent that we've passed a point of diminishing returns? The LHC was justified to find the Higgs, perfectly reasonable. We found it roughly where we expected it, great! What justification is there now for a larger accelerator?

That funding could go towards thousands of research proposals that aren't suffering from diminishing returns.
Challenger 2 entered service with the British Army in June 1998 and the last of the 386 tanks was delivered in April 2002, with an out of service date of 2025.

In 2019, then-British Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt labelled the Challenger 2 as obsolete. Indeed the decommissioning has effectively started with just over 200 remaining, and many of those not in a fit state to be deployed. The plan, announced in 2021, involved upgrading 148 Challenger 2 tanks to Challenger 3s and retiring the remaining 79 vehicles.

As I said above, we are sending extremely effective equipment, but its not the stuff rolling off the production lines at the skunk works. These main battle tanks that are being sent were destined for the scrapyard in the next couple of years.
There’s not really anything to stop me saying ‘out loud’ on HN that I don’t like working class people, if that were something I wanted to say. In fact I think it would be rather less likely to get me downvoted than posting in support of gender inclusive language :)

"A iff B" means that both "A if b" and "B if A" are true.

I phrased it a little oddly. What I mean is that if not even my employees (who hopefully share my ideals and values) volunteer to use my software, I would take that as a strong signal that I've failed to find a sustainable niche in the market, and maybe the right approach is not to force it down people's throats and hope that they can dig me out of my hole, but rather to pivot and ask myself, "what should I have done differently to get a product people want to use, despite technical flaws?"

So yes, dogfooding is there to get immediate feedback on technical flaws of an otherwise desirable product. Dogfooding is not there to fix a product--market mismatch. That needs to happen at a different level of development.

Article 8 clearly distinguishes a balloon from a civilian passenger aircraft.

“No aircraft capable of being flown without a pilot shall be flown without a pilot over the territory of a contracting State without special authorization by that State and in accordance with the terms of such authorization. Each contracting State undertakes to insure that the flight of such aircraft without a pilot in regions open to civil aircraft shall be so controlled as to obviate danger to civil aircraft.”

Separately, Article 3 rules out a state from playing “I’m not touching you” games with a balloon:

“No state aircraft of a contracting State shall fly over the territory of another State or land thereon without authorization by special agreement or otherwise, and in accordance w ~ t hthe terms thereof.”
> For hundreds of years, energy got steadily cheaper. Then in 1973 that progress stopped, and for the next 50 years energy prices have been roughly flat.

Fortunately, this is artificial due to OPEC - and solar and wind will free us from this eventually. The effects should be pretty dramatic somewhere in the next 10-15 years.

But this might be one of those situations where things get worse before they get better.

"Regulatory compliance" isn't a government surcharge, though. It'd be like tacking on a "paying our employees" fee. It's part of their costs of doing business; factor it into the price.

I don't mind if the bottom lines stay the same. Right now, I can't compare bottom lines, because the real bottom line is hidden. Is the $50/night hotel cheaper than the $100/night one? No one knows, unless they spend the time to get all the way to the final booking step on both (or more realistically, dozens of) options.

Not sure how it looks in the US, but [1] is how a typical AirBnB listing looks on the German website. Right on the listing it just has line items for the nightly cost, cleaning fee, service fee, taxes, and a total (though this is an Italian place, AirBnB listings for places in Germany typically only charge price per day and service fee).

The price that's advertised in the overview includes all fees, so you can't appear more attractive by shifting costs to the cleaning fee.

Yeah it's funny. 25 years ago I could manage working in English easily, and have English conversations, and I could read entire books. Gradually I went into more complex books, but the hardest thing was watching any movie without the need for subtitles, took me several years of constant listening of English language material, that's really what made a difference.
I like Clojure, but unfortunately for web development, there isn't a great stack and for data science/ML/AI (which is a great fit for clojure), python dominates the market. What is the niche for Clojure, or why should keep using it in 2023?

P.S: I like it a lot, but either I do golang or ror for web dev, or python/pytorch for data sciences/AI stuff, C# for game development. I don't think i can get more productive with Clojure in any scenario, that I'm exposed too, what I'm missing?

Recently, conversational AI models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT have captured public imagination with the ability to generate high-quality written contents, hold human-like conversations, answer factual questions, and more. Armed with such potential, Microsoft and Google have announced new services that combine them with traditional search engines. The new wave of conversation-powered search engines has the potential to naturally answer complex questions, summarize search results, and even serve as a creative tool. However, in doing so, the tech companies now face a greater ethical challenge to ensure that their models do not mislead users with false, ungrounded, or conflicting answers. Hence, the question naturally arises: Can ChatGPT-like models guarantee factual accuracy? In this article, we uncover several factual mistakes in Microsoft's new Bing and Google's Bard which suggest that they currently cannot.

There are tons of automated metro lines, and the EU standard for rail signalling, ETCS, is capable of Automatic Train Control and has heavy doses in automation in it already, especially used on high speed lines (where the driver can't really do much anyways due to the speeds involved)

However, without full grade separation, this is extremely risky because humans are stupid. It's also very expensive, especially if retrofitting on existing track without interrupting traffic.
> While diagnosing and treating patients was once doctors' domain, they are increasingly being replaced by nurse practitioners and physician assistants, collectively known as "midlevel practitioners," who can perform many of the same duties and generate much of the same revenue for less than half the pay.

Opt-out should never be the default.
That's true. However, because of the design of go tooling, you still call the same command line method to get the tool to compile your code.

This leads to the compiler having access to the internet and possibly exercising its access. In a perfect world of separated concerns the compiler binary wouldn't have any networking code at all, necessitating a go-get before calling go-build.

I understand why the Golang team decided to go with this approach, but it does have side effects that people coming from different tooling (say, C) wouldn't expect.
Not sure what you missed about Zoom. It's works, but doesn't feel smooth and seems to have a very big footprint for something with a specific use-case.

Priority boarding is useful if you want to avoid having your bag checked and being separated from it. (Pretty much guaranteed to happen if the flight is nearly full.)

It doesn’t happen often but checked bags can get lost. Also, waiting 10~15 minutes to pick up your bag can be annoying after a long flight.

You're right; I probably read too much in your comments while they're more nuanced than I took them for. My apologies. I think we actually mostly agree. It's just that people bring up Go proxy every time anything is discussed about Go (and some distros like Debian even disable it) with what I can only describe as unfair accusations that are levelled against Go uniquely and not against any other system with similar behaviour.
Thanks for the correction! I was in the tub and not really in the "SI units" headspace :)

And yeah, continuous tracking of people is definitely viable, including entire crowds of people. A couple of years ago our local football team did a gigapixel photo of the entire stadium (on a 360 degree pan mount) and you could very easily manually pan through the photo and identify faces very very clearly. Tech to do that in real-time is definitely here and readily available.
Why do you believe it needs to be refueled over the US? International waters ends 200 miles off the coast and China is less than 8000 miles away. There are jets with that range. Do you believe you’d know if Chinese refuelers were sitting off the coast?
I don't think so. The average person already thinks (Chat)GPT is an all-knowing AGI homework-solver, and the problem only worsens if you add the airs of "science" to the situation.
I think you seriously underestimate the amount of the economy (and life-critical goods) that flows through rail.
That's true. I think this would therefore need to be a bit of a breaking change for that tooling - systems that integrate with Go would need to be updated to deal with this prompt. Whether that's showing it to users or autofilling an answer with a --telemetry==x flag, that's up to them and their community.

Is that painful? Yes. Would it turn some people away from Go through this kind of friction? Sure. IMO those kinds of costs and pain points should be necessary considerations of adding telemetry.

Worth at least a minor version change, and therefore not too crazy that it would cause some annoyance.
But it is not taken into account when sorting by lowest price, so you see egregious tricks like "$50/night" AirBnB rooms with a $200 cleaning fee.

Hotels do the same thing on HotelTonight. When the amount of the resort fee/cleaning fee ends up doubling the price, that's just dishonesty - even if the truth does eventually come out.
I have a very similar outlook. It's pretty clear to me that things are moving faster and faster in society and likely not towards anything very good. So it seems naive to expect the old models to continue working.

My "retirement plan" therefore is something between conventional wisdom and prepping. Put some money into savings for emergencies and the remaining possibility that stocks may have some growth in future, but diversify into self-reliance. Buying land and tools that can be used to live off at low cost (i.e. no rent, do my own maintenance, grow some of my food and fuel) and assume that I probably won't ever afford to retire but hopefully will afford to just be able to work less and less over time.

Your last statement is certainly a good and humbling thing to remember. What's the point in amassing all this wealth anyway, since we certainly can't take any of it with us when we go. Giving your children the wealth of knowledge they will likely need in times to come is probably much more practical.
Ama also keeps supply of doctors down too. That's why all these medschools have such low acceptance rates.

This is much better.
Resort fees are definitely a separate thing.

Hotels say these are for things like wifi or bottled water in your room etc. that might have been separate charges in the past but are now being bundled into a single fee "for your convenience", which is fine, but if it's not optional then it's just part of your room rate now, right?
> That some sectors boom while others fade is well known, but we only care about the final aggregate.

Why? I really don’t think it’s a good idea to try to measure something as complex and multi-faceted as the evolution of an economy with a scalar.
No, in fact, I did not truly get what I wanted. I got bumped into the next higher group, which had literally no effect on anything.

To put a finer point on it, I wanted to get some value out of my $29. I got none. If I said "Hey, give me $29. I'm not gonna give you anything, I just want $29," would you give it to me? Transactions in capitalism are supposed to be voluntary, mutually beneficial exchanges. What benefit did I get? AA exploited an information asymmetry to scam me out of $29.
> We don't remark on this enough, but it is truly surprising (and worrisome) that the era when computers took over the world has also been an era of failed productivity growth and stunted economic growth.

I have long suspected that computers help a ton in a few ways, but are net harmful in a bunch of other (more common) situations, and that organizations area really bad at telling which is which, while management is so enamored of the largely-useless "visibility" or "transparency" they provide that they can't resist computerizing All The Things.

Like, you talk to some office workers who've seen both, or who have the computerized system now but can still see how the paper version worked before, and you pretty quickly get the idea that this whole digital-workplace thing isn't all it's cracked up to be.
