I was working off the quote, but I can see some reasons that someone would decide not to AA filter. Depending on the context it might be reasonable to assume that the signal is band-limited anyway (talk-oriented radio especially is often low-pass filtered) and it's easy to miss that some point in the system can introduce an (inaudible to most humans) artifact. Those assumptions, along with the desire to avoid complexity (every step in the signal path is an opportunity for failure) could easily tip you to "just downsample".

I'd also emphasize how little most of the people involved in these systems care about the quality of the archive. If it's good enough to a) confirm there was signal on the channel and b) understand the voices involved, it's good enough to not worry about further.

Oh that I happen to know something about - you’re making stuff up. I’ve got NFPA 72 right here if you want to point out where this alleged requirement for “multi-sensor” detector exists.

In fact there are specific requirements to use only single sensor type alarms - such as near cooking equipment.

You can go the the NFPA website though where the publicly facing website notes they are “recommended”. They are not and have never been required.
This won't be effective unless the hospital is required to provide prices whenever people ask, such as requesting an estimate from your car mechanic. And not only providing the prices but being required to honor the price they give you, with some reasonable threshold of variance.

These hospitals posting their prices reminds me of this classic section of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy":

"But the plans were on display..."

"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

"That’s the display department."

"With a flashlight."

"Ah, well, the lights had probably gone."

"So had the stairs."

"But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?"

"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.'
Good luck with them ever admitting to any mistake. They have collectors who don't care who will suck every penny. Just don't get sick in America.
Ansible is primarily a "push" model, which is hard with systems which may or may not be online from various locations (eg laptops).

Plus having a cross platform MDM would allow an IT team to manage a fleet of end user devices without having to become experts in each of them. For example, the MDM could have push button "erase this machine", etc

I've seen people trying to compare Amazon to Substack, but it doesn't add up for me.

One Substack "generates" the sale, transferring the relationship to your own site feels cheap.

It's like if Amazon stopped selling New Yorker subscriptions. If I actually gave a crap about the NYer subscription I was paying for, I'd find some other way to pay for it. Amazon [Substack] is a commodity in this vertical.

Of course, the people who didn't care about your subscription because they never read it would disappear. But, they were going to churn eventually. I imagine if you amortize over a year, this marginal loss is less than the diff between Substack's take rate and operating your own blog + newsletter.

---

Acting rationally from an economic point of view, the only reason you'd want to stick around on Substack is that you think this equation holds true:

(Future subscriber base on Substack * (monthly rate - Substack fee)) > (Future subscriber base as an independent * (monthly rate - cc transaction fees)).

For "young" writers who don't yet have an audience, Substack helps a lot. But if you have a well-developed audience, IDK, I imagine Substack must view them as big flight risks (hence the advance payments).

Some substantial things Substack can do to make this equation more favorable:

- Give you free (or low-fee) marketing on substack properties (note this is a zero sum game over ad inventory, choosing to give you ad space means choosing to not give it to others. this is a hard game to solve, but they can probably do it).

- Reduce their take rate for mature audiences.

IMO, their current model doesn't make a lot of sense if you're somebody with a large audience. Especially now that we're out of ZIRP and they can't afford to sweeten the deal as much anymore.
Thanks for the explanation! Between your comment and the Undersampling wiki page diydsp linked to I think I am on the path to enlightenment.

> If your original signal was truly band-limited to 100MHz

In practice, this means you need to band pass before the ADC, right? i.e. "signal" in this case is the entire input to the ADC and not just the particular modulated signal you care about

Substack is great for subscription long form content already. It is reliant on Twitter on creating a network for information distribution and curation, though. I don't think Substack is attempting to be more like Twitter - I think Substack needs something like Twitter to sustain the long-form subscription content and this is a defensive move to make sure that Twitter's ongoing collapse doesn't take them out, too.
I can attest to quest2 not being motion sickness inducing, although I don't have any comparative experience.

There is also the issue of subjective motion sickness sensitivity that seems to conflate comparisons, some seem to get sick in any VR with certain games or environments, and everyone gets sick in some specific VR headsets. If you don't get motion sick easily, quest2 is pretty comfortable, and once you find some decent games it's unique and re-playable, more than a mere novelty.

Lots of folks on HN seem to have tried one thing once at some point in time - either got motion sick or got confused why the onboard graphics sucked, and then just relegated the whole category to "still broken". VR works if you can be bothered to do as little research as you do for your next PC.

I don't get what you mean by native though, there are loads of native quest games.
That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I used to have the same attitude, but it is deeply beneficial to not assume that one mistake a person makes proves that anything else they do is worthless.

> Firearms like Glocks don't have "active safeties"

gosh, there’s always some argument about the defn of “safety” when discussing Glock. A Glock trigger has a little spring-loaded tab which is depressed when you hold your finger on the trigger. When it is visible the Glock can not fire. This they call a “safety”, seems a little sketch but ok, I get the point. There’s some other internal features backing it up, but the trigger is most obvious.

The P320 had an internal lock-out widget that would disengage when you pull the trigger a wee bit and a spring loaded sear (? do they call it that for strikers?) one trivial whack away from releasing even if the trigger was not pulled to the break (the expected release point). I would call that absurdly wrong. The upgrade fixed this similarly to the P365.

The P365 has a similar lock-out widget to the P320 (they call it an internal safety in the manual), but it doesn’t disengage until the trigger is pulled into the break. The “striker” has a tab on it which is blocked to that point by the widget. You can disassemble it all and measure the distances the parts move to release, but I actually looked at a SolidWorks 3d model someone in the aftermarket industry shared with me and verified my pistol had the same dimensions at a critical point. I think if the striker tab or the widget broke it could fail silently. I check it about weekly or less.

"Nonviolent" does have a pretty straightforward definition that I think you can differentiate from your examples if you were inclined to judge impartially.

When you're predisposed to an opinion, it's easy to come up with justifications. Often those result in misreading/misinterpreting information and then spreading that misinformation for more folks to use as justification.

I don't want to draft a speculative narrative about someone else's life (or its sad end) but I will say that your first allegation sounds like a misinterpretation of the events, at least from reading the Wikipedia article about who you're referring to.
If true (and I’m not saying it isn’t)-that’s despicable-but also irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of Foucault’s claim that sexual orientation is a historically contingent social construct.

A philosopher’s personal misdeeds don’t-in general-count as evidence against their theories. If the theories directly serve to justify their misdeeds, that might be some reason to discount them-but Foucault’s claim that sexual orientation is a historically contingent social construct has no direct bearing on the issue of sexual abuse of minors, so allegations that he engaged in that aren’t relevant to them

The thing they don't tell you - or at least didn't tell me - at school is that the "real world" isn't... the real world. Your Cow and Car objects aren't supposed to be modeled after the real thing. The terms "cow" and "car" as you understand them aren't the real thing either. They are labels, part of some classifications, some taxonomy. Those are all human conceptual constructs, with their own synthetic rules that may or may not have some predictive power about the real world. In this sense, I'd say legal construct are much better representation of what we're modelling with OOP, because the law is obviously a human-invented game with human-invented rules. Cows and cars? They're that too, but it's not obvious.
I agree that seems presumptive. But of course twitter conveniently didn’t share the source code for how that factor is calculated. Turns out it’s hard to evaluate a big complex distributed system by looking at just one slice and no data.

That sort of implies that we don't go Oprah on SF where everyone and their mother gets a gun. Reasonable access means that you have to meet certain conditions, like not be homeless, have an id, have no criminal record, e.t.c.

Yes! My partner eventually quit her job university lecturing because she was explicitly told time and time again she was never allowed to fail any of the international "full fee paying" students. If she lodged a fail mark she was raked over the coals and forced to change it as a passing mark.
She was only allowed to give failing marks to Australians who pay approximately a quarter the university fees compared to international students.

That's a great question. I think it was just a fad. There weren't enough really good game ideas to carry it forward.
You might have hit the “age wall” there, not enough “training” with VR also usually doesn’t help.

The younglings I know all loved the PSVR2 experience much more so than the Quest which they were fans of before. So therefore probably more attuned, highly plastic brains to boot.

I also get motion sick sometimes. It depends on the game, cockpits usually are fine. Those are the ones I’m more interested in anyways. PSVR2 is a literal game changer IMHO.

I'm not sure about that. Hospitals use the fact that patients have no choice. Amoral business is the most profitable. A pipe in your house has burst, you called a plumber and he arrived in 1 hour (other plumbers were even further). He looks at your situation and says "sign here, my rate is 5k/hr plus unexpected expenses up to 50k" and when you try to negotiate, he calmly looks at water flooding the second floor in your 2mln house and answers nothing. You both know that very soon the repairs will cost you 100 thousands of dollars. I doubt any judge would agree that the plumber owes you work at a rate convenient for you.
It doesn't help with repetition, but when it comes to force structure on the output data, this approach looks interesting:

> If robots do everything a person can do for zero marginal cost, then the we are in a post-scarcity utopia, why is that bad?

Because you won't have the money to buy anything, perhaps?

Just because things can be produced at zero marginal costs in no way means those things will be free. The people who own the AIs doing the stuff will want to gain wealth for doing so.
> Is that what people actually want? To be algorithmiclly fed content from strangers? Why is this the imputed ideal?

I never made the argument that it's the imputed ideal. Rather, my point is that in the context of a social platform, having an option for an algorithmic feed leads to other people with opposing views to discover the content and have dialogue about it/contest that viewpoint. Otherwise, it's a closed loop system that contains only like-minded viewpoints that can lead to an echo chamber. How do we prevent echo chambers from forming? Well, the most straightforward option is to introduce opposing viewpoints. How do we introduce opposing viewpoints? Well the people with opposing viewpoints need to be able to discover the content - so it needs to be shown to them somehow. The best way to do that (right now at least) is through an algorithmic recommendation engine.

> Is there any evidence that this is true or should be an expectation? Is that really why billions of dollars are spent on this space?

That's why I said "ideally". There's huge differences in algorithms for all the major social platforms. Algorithms can easily be used to make echo chambers worse, but algorithms can also be used to reduce echo chambers on a platform. To your point, that's why billions of dollars are spent on this because it's a complicated problem. One thing is a fact though, dissenting opinions create engagement and keeps people on the platform. If you responded to my comment and said "I agree with you", I wouldn't be commenting here right now and back on Hackernews. Most social platforms take advantage of this feature of our human psyche to get people to stay on the platform to then show them more ads and drive more ad revenue. That's why engagement is such a critical factor in social media algorithms and also has the unintended consequence of promoting controversial content - because it receives the most engagement. Which goes back to the need of having an algorithm that can balance reducing echo chambers by showing the content to others with dissenting opinions without unintentionally promoting only the most controversial content because it has the highest engagement. There's really no easy answer to this and again, that's why they spend billions like you said.
