I don’t know how one would tease that out of any tax receipt date, compared to economic loss due to suboptimal allocation of society’s resources.

Suppose copyright law was 15 years instead of 100 years or whatever. Society still gets the tax receipts and benefits from creation of the media, but the shareholders who own the media do not get to collect a price premium from the extra 85 years. That money can now be spent by consumers elsewhere as opposed to supporting media owners who already had sufficient incentive to create the media.

The question at the end of the day is, does a 100 year copyright term incentivize the creation of media with so much utility compared to copyright term of 15 years such that it makes sense for society to transfer extra resources to the media owners for an additional 85 years? Amongst other externalities to consider.

There's no judgement of people in my comments. It's objectively bad. Air and Water are 100% things we should protect with law BECAUSE "This planet is a shared resource".
RF always does weird stuff ;-) There's a path, driving through the mountains up around Tyndrum, where you can hear a radio repeater some 50 miles away near Stirling despite there being 3000 foot high mountains in the way, and as clearly as if you were a mile from it.

It must just bounce off stuff just right, or something.

Microsoft tried moving away from legacy Windows with UWP. The long term plan was probably for UWP to replace core Windows with that.

Windows will be around for at least a few more decades until everything is a web app. But leadership under Nadella knows the clock is ticking and that's why they've moved their focus to making Office 365 (Office/OneDrive/Teams) and Azure their bread and butter.
Sure is! I'm limited by the way the generation is broken down in the source data [1] as it doesn't make any distinction for tidal generation – though I'd argue that's probably a very small amount in the UK. Hydro is already separated though.

Most of the processing fees are capped by law in Europe. They are far lower (and I mean far - something like six times lower) than in the US and the cap is a percentage of the transaction so there is little point in bundling.
"Proper socialization", unqualified, is a normative statement that has no basis other than some arbitrary definition of "proper" vis a vis "socialization" skills.

We would be remiss to ignore the very obvious factor that parents organize their children's social lives until they develop enough agency to do it for themselves. Of course, parenting patterns have a lot to do with the agency of their children to begin with. So how can anyone, with a straight face, assert that kids are somehow lacking when it's the parents that instill these skills and values into their kids?

You're going to have to do better than polemics.
Users in Spain seem to have accepted that they didn't mind if they had one less streaming service to choose from. They are voting with their wallets.
Oh, sure; arguing that IPv6 doesn't, in any way shape or form, have enough addresses would be extremely misguided. I was reading it as "IPv4 already has enough address space (if we include NAT) so we don't need to deal with v6".
It doesn’t, which would make disaster recovery a huge pain. You would have to register your backup key for every account you have.

The Apple/google “passkey” approach lets you use WebAuthn while having encrypted, cloud stored, private key escrow. It is much more convenient. Obviously with the downsides that implies.
That’s the big brain thinking that leads to the enshitification of products.

IPv6 has numerous things going for it. But it also has numerous downsides. I suspect that's why the adoption is so slow.
I agree.

while(1) malloc(1000);

Interesting question.

How about things that nobody knows you have? These would probably tend to be smaller things just because its easier for them to go unnoticed, and if nobody knows about them, they wouldn't have any reason or ability to take them from you.

I'm curious how you would define ownership?
> I think it's because the idea of culture is deeply offensive to individualistic Americans.

These studies often break down when looking at the same data broken down by racial groups because it simply can't explain Asian-American scores. Poor Asian immigrant households fare much better than other races at the same socio-economic level, so much so that certain authors have started to use the term "white adjacent" [0] to get around the issue.

Another super interesting fact that never occurred to me is that trees are not a taxonomic grouping of their own. Rather a broad set of characteristics that have separately evolved into a convergent set of traits. So, it's unnecessary to say Aspens are not like other trees because they aren't actually related to other trees. The MCRA of all trees would not remotely be a tree.
> Rails uses ActiveRecord and you'll most likely be trying to load millions of records through an ORM which will make you go insane trying to get it to work efficiently.

You just need to use batches (that `.in_batches` in the link), it's an easy-peasy approach which is way more acceptable for your database than a single update of 500m records. I've been using it for years and it has never raised a single issue.

>> Good jobs are difficult to come by if you don't have a college degree.

> what awful logic…[anecdote]…the lesson here is that you actually don't NEED a college degree…

Do you see the straw man you erected?

GP never once claimed that a college degree was “needed”, only that lacking one made life more difficult. An effective counter-argument against that would certainly consist of more than a single anecdote.
Anti-competition bodies are designed to regulate more than just utilities.

Are you really saying that Microsoft can't exert undue influence on all other games and software studios to unfairly compete in the gaming segment... even though they would be controlling the operating system developed on and targetted to... let alone their extensive cloud and console providings that they could simply deny to the competition?

In such a landscape, indie devs would be powerless.

NeRF was already standardized in the literature by people who are not these authors [0] and HDR is also already standardized by people who are not these authors [1]. Go with the flow unless you have a very good reason not to.

HDR is probably HDR and not some other clever name because there was no obvious clever name with an easy pronunciation. Whereas NRF is just so close to NeRF -- an actual word people are familiar with -- it's begging to be pronounced that way.

People really can't predict what investments represent the bonfire vs. good investments, and even if they get that right, it's even harder to get the timing right.

For example myspace vs. facebook, webvan vs. amazon vs. instacart. You can also look at physical industries like the aerospace boom after WW2 that brought us into the jet age. The high influx of cash allows huge numbers of companies to bloom, representing the testing of lots of ideas and designs in parallel. Many aerospace companies failed, just as many tech companies have failed, but those tests accelerate innovation.
I also never really got into Mastodon. My belief is that you still need to build a 10x better product, and Mastodon hasn't achieved that.

Now, the upside for Mastodon is - they have a great platform that a number of people have flocked to bc of the Twitter backlash. Can they create sustainable value for the communities (or people within those communities)? What do people who run these communities want (beyond decentralization)?

Personally, I think the crux is reputation-building. You need to give a few Mastodon users a sense of pride in engaging everyday with their community. From the handful of servers I'm on, I don't see this clearly happening yet. But hope they can get there!
> That being said, if you have to make vendors look like the boogeyman to win an online argument about cell phones, you're likely building a case that works equally well against Apple.

Samsung is the top/biggest Android manufacturer from everything I can find online and all the other non-Pixel phones are equally trashy (full of crapware, reskinned apps, etc). The Pixel is almost a rounding error in North America coming in at ~2% vs Samsung at ~30% and Apple at about ~54% [0]. I think it's perfectly fair to judge the OS based on the biggest install base.

I find it staggering how many senior developers don’t know how to profile or performance test their software. Just throwing a few million rows into a local db and measuring your app performance is so basic, yet I’ve seen many teams not even consider this, and others farm it to a “QA”.

their catalog isn't as good as it used to be. They've cut a ton of content for seemingly zero reason recently (including their own shows like westworld).

What I like best about HBO is that they have an A-Z listing of every show they have (something people have been asking Netflix for since day one of their streaming service) and how peaceful it is to use their platform.

You can browse without anything auto-playing, you can pause a show for more than 3 seconds and ads don't start rapidly flashing on the screen, and shows don't jump to more ads immediately as credits start rolling so you can actually let an ending sink in without having to scramble for your remote.

HBO max is just much nicer to use than netflix.

I also really like their "last chance" section because things are leaving all the time and that gives you some warning.
It's part of the social contract here that commenters are expected to be familiar with https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and make a good faith effort to stick to those rules. It's neither long nor hard to read. I don't think it's discourteous or too much to ask people to read it if they're going to post here, and it's so rare that anyone objects to the request that I have to assume the community agrees with me about that.

It's hard for me to understand why you're responding so combatively because, from my perspective, this is entirely routine, bog standard moderation. It's nothing personal! You're as welcome here as anyone else, as long as you stick to the rules. There's no reason at all why you can't make your substantive points within the guidelines, and no one's asking you to change your views.

Yes, there's some interpretation involved–that's inevitable with moderation—but I'm not interpreting the rules in any extreme way, nor any differently than I would with any other user, nor with any perverse agenda in mind. As I said, we're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't destroy itself. Flamebait leads to flamewar; flamewar, if unchecked, leads to conflagration, which leads to scorched earth and internet heat death.

I think linen definitely solves a lot of issues OSS communities face when the majority of issues are answered on discord/slack. The need for such a tool should decrease as docs mature however. So maybe a tool to integrate with or update the docs could be cool.

On a general note I think you should link back to your landing page from the navigation of a project. Especially if people enter via a search engine, they are essentially locked within an organization. The only way out is to manually navigate to linen.dev.
This sounds like and A/B problem. You’re asking how to do A but what you really want is B. But you’re asking about A because that’s how you think you’d get B in the ipv4 world.

Your ISP should give your router a /56 prefix via PD, which you can divvy up into 256 networks internally. Alternatively, if you don’t need globally-routable addresses, just pick a ULA prefix and have your router advertise it internally.
That's a great point and something I'm not making clear on the map. I've decided to use wind speeds at 100m on the map but there's an argument to offer data at multiple heights, particularly when looking at shorter onshore wind farms.

With that said, some of the wind turbines already reach 190m in height (eg. Hornsea One) and the mega-sized Haliade-X turbines at the upcoming Dogger Bank wind farm are 260m tall!

Yes in fact this soft grading trend started in the universities at least based on what I've observed. The last thing a modern university wants is for students to flunk out and lose that tuition revenue. They bend over backwards to keep them in school.

Wilkins also shared the Nobel. Franklin was dead at that point (though I don't think 4 people can share a Nobel).
> the word "push"

Sure, one example of what I have in mind are various efforts across the board to advertise "STEM"/"STEAM" careers, teach kids programming, promote STEM competitions, run STEM courses, etc. etc. This presumably "pushes" some fraction of people into these careers that otherwise would not have gone; but there is no corresponding increase in funding or safety nets. It's not a question of allowed or not - of course anyone is already welcome and able to join academia at least in the USA, it's just that the not well-off population probably drops off before the finish line due to financial constraints.
Imagine a world where there are no taxes whatsoever, incredibly however a functional government with courts and such still exists. You buy a piece of land and go soul searching for a few years and come back to find you no longer own the land. Somebody you did wrong in the past sued you and won a judgement, got a lien against your land and sold it to make himself partially whole.

Would you say that you did not "own" this land, you were just renting it?

> If you want to time gate your episodes with your friends you're still welcome to coordinate that with them

Forcing everyone to collectively sit with a single episode per week is fun. Watching all at once makes them all sort of meld together. Having to sit with an episode for a week changes the experience of watching the show. If you can convince your friend group to watch together, that's great, but things like discussion forums and twitter (where a lot of people like to talk about shows online) will always be dominated by binge watchers.
You don't necessarily want the optimal solution, L2 regularization can give you a slightly worse solution on the training set but that will be better at generalization on unseen data.

The feelings I associate with eating like crap are brief malaise in the form of a tummy ache. The article is talking about more significant changes, such as overall happiness versus depression.

> This is not clear.

Of course it is. In physics, experiment (observation) remains the sole criterion of truth, no matter what math may be saying. (And I will continue to stress that observations, experiments, and measurements - all are inevitably "classical" by nature, and so in order to draw connections from those back to the underlying physical theory, the latter must include the notion of a classical measurement device.) Also, math is not physics because a mathematical theory includes a lot of scaffolding - things that do not correspond to anything real, and it's a physicist's job to tell the difference.

I believe that your reasoning misses one crucial detail: we do not exactly know how to climate control a whole planet, we have almost no experience with that.

Attempts to terraform Mars allow humans to try some things and to see what happens. It will allow to make our models of climate more precise.

For now our understanding of a climate based on observational studies. Not a controlled experiment. So when we start to do something having some climatic goals in mind, we'll start to learn a lot. And it would be better for Earth if we started with Mars.

Though we have no time, but it doesn't seem a sufficient reason not to try get at least some experience from terraforming Mars. It may reduce risks.
Ehhh I'd argue they had more in common with socialists/communists, they were literally destroying the means of production in worker solidarity to improve their condition and bargaining ability. Marx even refers directly to the situation of the guilds in industrialization.

The belief is that new means of production should be embraced, owned, and operated by workers to benefit the many and not just the few exploitative capitalists (which are those who own means of production).

Instead of exploiting lay-offs and long shifts, and disregarding safety to save the capitalist money, the factory would instead be built and operated for the benefit of workers and society, prioritizing safety and sharing shorter shifts among a larger workforce to preserve jobs.

From a socialist/communist perspective machine taxes and UBI are like cheap bribes to avoid the issue and preserve the exploitative system in place. The luddites probably would have felt the same had they been offered a pity sum or machine tax from factory owners to "offset" their condition.
On the other hand, watching episode a week sux. By the end of a season, you don't remember what happened 3 months ago. The series got much better writing over time - but the consequence is that I actually want to see it as a whole instead of little by little with mandatory breaks.
The downcasing in done in Ruby-land, thus the records had to be loaded in memory, on the worker. If the downcasing was done on the DB itself, then the records would not have needed to travel all the way to the worker, only to be discarded 200ms later. Better to run an UPDATE query direct against the DB instance, with IDs to control concurrency: UPDATE addresses SET city = lower(city), state = lower(state) WHERE id BETWEEN a AND b
