If you mean they're not as prevalent as they were, sure I suppose. But they sold the business unit off again to HMD Global, who still make Nokia phones, such as the '3.4', the Android One (which is what led me to it - reasonably stock and years of updates - I previously had a Motorola for the same reason) device I'm typing this comment from.

The article seems very poorly written. It reads like "We knew that Earth's inner core was a solid ball of iron… but now it's been discovered that the solid ball of iron actually has a solid ball of iron in its core!"
>I don't see anyone arguing the government should do anything here.

Maybe work on your reading comprehension? People are literally saying that due process should apply... I had a dozens-long interaction with someone insisting that the constitution is a set of principles that apply to any human interactions... there's massive misunderstanding proliferated around here, so I don't agree at all.

> It appears to be an argument that institutions instituting new policies like the one mentioned in the linked post should have some kind of process to prevent them from being abused.

No shit - did you see anyone arguing that they should just be processes that are rife for abuse? The question is "what is the standard?"

In the US you can check out the news page of the DDTC (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls) of (the US Department of) state at https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/ddtc_pub-?id=ddtc_public_portal... and they have a list of reports and webinars on the subject. Most other G7 countries have similar governmental orgs that have similar public portals.
I think that the post was saying that it doesn’t require us to take carbon out from deep within earth and put it into the atmosphere.
It’s an erosion of good will, lots of companies go through build vs exploit cycles where they build up a brand with marketing, good quality, and value. Then they exploit it by cutting any of those. As it’s difficult to know the maximally profitable steady state it’s much easier to slowly oscillate between the two taking measurements on the way. A savvy consumer can pay attention to this and specifically try to buy from companies in a build phase. Often less savvy consumers get stuck with brand loyalty and they get exploited. Unless of course the company is a monopoly or oligopoly at which point it’s most profitable to stay in the exploit phase. It should be noted that some times prices in a build phase are not long term sustainable without a subsequent exploit phase.
The need to actively defend competitiveness from erosion seems like a vulnerability in the capitalist system. Anticompetitive behavior is a natural tendency in the system; it is advantageous for everybody all the time to be doing as much of it as they can get away with, and the gov has to actively exercise energy to determine when it gets too bad and needs to be reversed. Governments are fundamentally not very good at holding a line like this, they get tired... they greatly prefer to let things just play out on their own. They prefer to have a private company managing e.g. a local utility monopoly rather than do it themselves.

It always feels like there is some element that should exist-by-default in our economic system to organically oppose monopolistic behavior, without active government attention. Roughly this looks like consumer unions: the more monopolistic an organization, the more it looks like a governmental agency, and correspondingly the more power the public should have over it—putting a ceiling on the ability of private enterprises to extract value from the public.
Yeah, private equity is a plague on humanity. I've heard so many stories of industries made worse for workers and customers just so some dicks can extract a steady stream of cash along the way to destroying everything.

This is a shame, because I think markets can be amazing engines for optimization. But unless we're going to work to make sure there are strong markets for a given good, we're not going to see much of that.
Yeah we'll see how the market goes then.
I'm not sure theres an angle of attack here. People need to live somewhere, they don't get to argue the terms.

> If anything, crypto at least seems to indirectly put food on your table, articbull. I would find it hard to believe you don't get any compensation from religiously covering every HN comment sections about crypto with misinformation.

It's a hobby, I promise :)

> Surely your motives can't simply be the fear of being out of a job if bigtech fades into irrelevance. AI would logically be a way bigger threat to your occupation.

In my role as a critic (or I suspect you'd say cynic) whether crypto succeeds or fails doesn't matter. If it finds a killer use case and makes my life better I win because my life is better. I'll be the first to use any technology that makes my life better, or the things I do faster or cheaper. As I am not invested, it doesn't hurt me if it fails. The stock I own is broadly agnostic to the success or failure of crypto and the idea that any FAANG company is under threat from crypto is silly. If it takes off, the FAANGs would quickly find a way to profit.

> Surely calling 5-25% of many countries' populations criminals (including the US), should be relegated to a fringe extremist view.

They're not using it, they're speculating on its price. That's not the same thing. To use it they'd have to be exchanging it for goods and services and they're simply not because it's a bad store of value and a worse medium of exchange.

The title of that page is "Cryptocurrency Ownership Data" not "Cryptocurrency Use Data."

In re your reply down the line:

> It's as much real world usage, as people owning stocks and precious metals is.

Stocks are productive investments because their appreciation is derived from non-investor participants. Crypto doesn't derive it's value from non-investor participants. Crypto is only re-arranging the wealth in fiat terms, distributing money from later entrants to earlier ones. A better analogy would be to other zero-sum products like options or futures contracts but of course those have use as a hedge against risk which oviously crypto does not as it's simply correlated to the bubble stocks in the NASDAQ.

It is a lot like owning gold (well, except that gold actually is used industrially) but generally owning shiny pebbles has been a fringe sport dominated by William Devane and his 2am coin commercials on Fox. I think gold is a silly investment too and I don't hear anyone selling it as the future of anything.
Thanks! It's definitely a valid point. We do get a lot of made up, totally BS data from people doing exactly what you're suggesting. It's usually obvious though and we filter it out. Nothing gets added to the primary DB without us looking at it first. If it looks anomalous, we'll deny it. You don't have to add a rate though, you can still view 99% of the data without doing that.

Things we show to everyone, regardless if they added a rate or not:
- Title, location, hourly rate, skills, industry, org size.
- Role based search

Things that are locked only to people that made submissions:
- Additional notes by submitters, which only about 10% of submissions have
- Charts, which are really just formatted versions of the already available data
- Location, skill based search
- Project based rates (we will eventually unlock this similar to hourly rates, but for now, we don't have enough data and are really in collection mode)

We are actively working on a feature for verified rates though, where we validate that the submitter actually earned the rate they claimed by requiring additional information.

As a side bit, I encourage people - if you don't have a rate to submit, just submit a rate with total default values and leave a comment saying "dummy rate". We will filter it out and you'll still get access to everything.
To add to this, there's a massive difference between discussing the possibility due to other tech layoffs that occurred last year and actually planning a layoff.
The gov't had a crappy track record when it comes to making the market behave as it wants. Especially when the reasons are moral and not universal.

How about we just build a lot more housing and let the chips fall where they may. Shouldn't even need to tax empty housing, either, if we build enough then the market can fix the rest pretty easily.

The whole reason we have a housing problem to begin with isn't capitalism, it's government restrictions on building. Urban grown boundaries, zoning, you name it.
Why do you get to dictate my response to an artist. Why do you get to dictate what I meant when I'm the artist?

You get to interpret it and understand it as a defense of murderers. I find that to be an unreasonable interpretation, born of a mind that is desperately trying to force the world to conform to it, rather than existing in the world as it comes. But that's my response, not a dictation what you meant when you said it.

Maybe you meant something else, maybe you found that it reminded you of a murderer you met once at a bar, or maybe it reminds you of stuff you said prior to committing murder, or maybe you're just being silly. Maybe you just think that way.

I dunno - I often find that what I intend to create and what I actually create differ quite often, even in a medium I'm fairly good at (code or food for example). It makes me doubt that I can dictate what it's really about to me - let alone what its supposed to be about to you. (honestly try it out sometime, see how many people can guess what you were thinking before you wrote that gnarly bit of code, or if they can say what you're thinking about it after it's done).

There's a lot of brain science out there that suggests a lot of "why i did that" is post-hoc rationalization rather than a true "why i did that". I don't see why creation is exempt from that.
IMO the ethnic quotas would be the most unsavory aspects to an American audience.

It was jvanderbot’s quip: “Yeah, if the panels are so efficient that 8 hrs of sitting can charge 2 hrs of driving, then just put those panels on your roof and wire them into a garage charger.”

Generally, it helps to take comments in context…

In his hypothetical, that’s clearly more than enough for the average person’s commute.

And even if it isn’t quite enough, it could reduce the frequency you need to make trips to a fast charging station (effectively like having a twice as large of a battery), if you cannot charge at home. Charging stations usually are substantially more expensive than residential, maybe 3-4 times the price, and residential is 4 times the price of utility scale solar power (due to buffering and distribution, etc). So there’s a good financial case for it if you can get the cost low, plus you have the added convenience.

Sono’s solar wasn’t very good. Lightyear and Aptera’s ability to add up to 40 miles per day is pretty useful… if they can get the cost down.

Personally I don’t consider it a luxury good. It’s candy, not bread, but it’s there for the masses. It’s just an example being done to literally everything.

Give the actual product didn’t change, just the pricing, it actively takes money away from ordinary people and gives it to a few. Would you consider Disneyland similarly a luxury? It’s sad how expensive it’s gotten to keep Wall Street happy, meanwhile it allows for rich kids to go but not poor. Same with baseball games. Same with literally everything. Raising prices to make more profit disproportionally hurts the poor, and makes them poorer.
Every once in a while I'll get a pleasantly worded email from a random address asking if I want to do 'low effort remote accounting services' to the tune of $3.5k a month.

> In other words, an executive summary is the summary for a non-expert stakeholder. In practice you use this to tell the executive what you want them to think.

...no, an executive summary is not "a summary for a clueless executive". An executive summary provides enough information to act on the material... that is, a summary that promotes executive function[0], otherwise known as decision-making based on what it is summarizing.

The "executive" here is not a noun, it's the same "executive" as in "executive function" and "executive decision". And yes, it's also where the job role gets its name.

I get that these things can change over time, and there are incentives to do so, but this is why we must take legislation like the GDPR seriously, companies must do their due-diligence on contracts with service providers, and we should hold those breaking contracts and/or the law to account.

I don't "people are going to break the law so let's not do anything" is the most pragmatic response. I don't disagree, and can certainly empathise with it, but I do see it as closer to Mozilla's principled stance than to what I think most people would be happy with (assuming they had the facts, which most don't).

Casters, commentators and “prolongism”
When casters and commentators (typically in newer media such as on twitch or youtube) prolongs their sentences, specifically to a point where it becomes nonsensical.

E.g., a very common occurrence of this is when a competitor is close to dying, and a caster chooses to narrate this as follows,

"...he is not going to be able to get killed" or some other such derivation.

It's obvious what wants to be said - that the enemy team was unable to kill said competitor - however it happens midstream of consciousness, and it all gets boggled up.

Anyone seen this before?

Yeah, data leakage is a concern in the sense that _everything_ about the process gets recorded. (At Replay, all the recordings are encrypted and access-controlled: https://www.replay.io/security-and-privacy )

The way Replay specifically works is that we fork and modify the Firefox and Chrome browser and Node runtime to add the necessary support for capturing and stubbing all OS-level syscalls, as well as making other changes to ensure near-deterministic playback. So, when the recording gets replayed, the process gets all the same external inputs it did the first time:

- https://docs.replay.io/contribute/how-replay-works

One of our long-term goals is to bring down recording perf overhead enough that we can do "always-on" recording into a buffer, so that the browser or Node just _always_ runs in recording mode, and if something fails the last minute or so of the buffer gets uploaded for analysis.
Thank you for summarizing! It's also really interesting (I'm the artist) to see that almost ALL comments refer to the stamp on the backsides of the paintings, not to the content of the pictures. :-)
No, the Earth's magnetic field isn't because of iron being ferromagnetic, nor does it come from the solid inner core. The iron in the core is well above the Curie temperature at which ferromagnetism ceases.

Rather, the Earth's magnetic field is due to currents flowing in the liquid outer core. Convection in the core drives the conductive metal across these currents, increasing them by a dynamo effect. This process occurs on a rather small scale and is difficult to model, and is also somewhat chaotic, leading to very occasional collapses and flips of the Earth's magnetic field.
Yep, just a few bites :) Especially if you're on vacation.

If we assume dark matter is a particle that only reacts via gravity, well, I'm not so sure you will.

The question here is how your particle that only reacts via gravity loses energy. First it will have whatever momentum it has from the galaxy relative to the speed of our solar system and planet. Then as it falls into our gravity well it picks up even more speed. When it reaches the center of our planet it's hauling ass with no brakes so no reason to stop, so it goes screeching out the other side. Even if you somehow had a dark matter particle at 0 relative motion to your gravity well before it fell in, how long is it going to take to bleed off its gravitational energy?
It's an irrelevant point. Carbon emissions include logistics and manufacturing operations.
On a first approximation, food production (including corn) is just channeling natural gas into fertilizers through Haber–Bosch.

If the produced food isn't actually being eaten, it's just a highly inefficient energy conversion Rube Goldberg machine.

Now to answer your question, food production unlocks plenty of carbon underground through natural gas.
