The person answered your question implicitly, you just didn't understand it.

Not only that, you're completely wrong in the earlier exchange about laying off workers. I think you need to understand business better to see that it doesn't work out the way you think it does. Shouting "fuck" on HN with a wrong take doesn't make you right.
It works so well too. Was on a r/visible, a Verizon subsidiary and they claim unlimited but it's really 1TB or less otherwise they threaten you. The thing is there are laws in place that bar carriers from doing this and the guy pointing this out is downvoted to hell because everyone there are all corporate defenders. Blow my mind that the phone consumer market are so gullible. When Comcast was pulling this shit, people were pissed. Nowadays people are falling in line.

Ha, sticking a rescue ISO on a partition is actually a nice touch, never thought of that.

> you may want to add a grubfmx64.efi in there, to be able to select entries more easily for rescue ops

I hate having to deal with bootloaders with a passion. But it could come in handy if my efi can't boot directly from the iso. It does have the option to browse local drives and boot random files, but I've never tried an iso.

Although my rescue iso is custom-made with archlive so that it supports zfs. I could probably just write it to some extra partition and boot it directly.
Offtopic, I don’t use Twitter, how do Twitter thread and reply ranking work? What confuses me is that when I click Elon’s tweet, Jimmy’s reply is nowhere to be seen. Is this expected?
I think that’s inaccurate. Secure Boot capability is an install ‘requirement,’ but you definitely don’t have to switch it on.
IANAL. I understand that fake reviews are indeed against the law in the UK (Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008, etc.)?

But perhaps it's viewed as too loosely defined or hard to enforce.

In context here, liable:

1) Liable for claims that the fake review makes, i.e. held to the same standards as any other marketing/claims you make about your product,

2) Liable if you mislead consumers by making them think it's a real review.

"You are liable, i.e. you are the entity that may break the law"

The Digital Markets Bill may affect this in 2024 (?) - Not sure whether it will be more focused on regulating 'platforms'.
Do you plan on making this something like "forkable music" at some point?

I think something like this has huge potential if it's aiming to be an actual music collaboration site.

What about music licenses? If you don't add something like "CC BY SA" or similar as options, you likely will end up in DMCA hell before you know it.

We can also look at some major historical disruptions that did NOT drive all stocks to zero, and then think what would have to happen worse than that.

The only way it makes sense NOT to save for retirement is if your current utilization of the money is better than all or most possible retirement outcomes (paying down very high interest debt may apply, for example).

You can also save for retirement in other balanced ways, such as saving into a "mortgage payoff" fund; if the government has collapsed to the point where land is being seized, well, hope you invested in lead.
a discord instance is just shifting to another central platform, albeit more permissive for now.
No it was. I don't think you read his letter. He specifically mentioned bail reforms that are meant to prevent poor people from rotting in jail without being convicted of anything. Also, deferment programs that are intended to prevent people from having damaging charges on their record and falling deeper into crime. Finally, you have complaints about "malicious prosecution of officers", which is clearly nonsense, considering what you can get away with as a LEO.

None of this has anything to do with "no repercussions for gangbangers".
> Figure 2. Removing the final element of a singly linked list.
Note that both the returned result and list remain mutable,
and the returned result is no longer encapsulated by the
linked list, unlike in prior work (e.g., [26, 46]). Note also that
this function returns none on lists of size one, as it would be
impossible to separate the list from its tail in this case.

Huh, now that sounds like a substantial pitfall... any good way around this?

Not the particular output, no. It was how much was going on inside that hypothetical instruction, how massive of an abstraction it was, the unpredictability of the output. If you like you can think of it was a giant decision tree and imagine counting the branches to measure the complexity.
Most of the reasons for reshoring manufacturing are because of supply chain and strategic concerns. The economic benefits have always been secondary. That's why building manufacturing plants in Mexico is encouraged even when the automation/technology level is very low. The focus on automation has primarily been for the sake of making it cost effective for corporations, supposed benefits to local communities were never a priority. It's been hard enough getting companies to reshore, taxing automation will destroy the past half a decade of progress. Face it, the jobs are not coming back.
It is one of those things that a huge number of people hear about and want to see at least once and they do it at the detriment to those that live in the area. All the people hopping on the bandwagon never consider the effect they have on the lives of the locals. Traffic is a minor thing but when it comes to these natural events which can just happen unexpectedly and cause large numbers of people to show up without notice it can mean the locals don't get to do their grocery shopping this week because shelves got cleaned out by tourists, gas stations have run dry, etc and chances are those shelves are not going to get restocked or those tanks refilled until when ever the next scheduled delivery is because that is how life is outside the major metros.

So now they will just start closing stuff down when there is even a risk of one of these natural events occurring, can't say I am sorry.
Last time I checked, you can self-host Discourse.
Discourse itself is GPL, which means that even they shouldn't be able to revoke your license to the code.
It just seems silly to me that in a world where we have robots that can screw bolts on a car, and in a world where humans hate screwing bolts onto cars for 40 hours a week, we would want to put a policy that makes the human the more attractive option (notwithstanding that it also raises costs and makes production less efficient).

It feels very similar to the 'cutting grass with scissors' concept - why work in a less-productive way (i.e. ban lawnmowers) just to raise total employment, rather than work in the most productive way possible and then find alternative uses for the humans?

Also the policy is only really useful if the number of humans outstrip the number of jobs available, but we haven't reached that point yet.

You are right that clearly the corporation tax issues will have to be solved, that's a no-brainer.

It's unreasonable to expect an X window manager developer to both maintain their WM and invest in writing a compositor a MUCH larger project.

Big tech has large service costs because a large number of little people are requesting data from their networks. Data for which the transit has already been payed for by the requestor. Despite the 'asymmetries' in throughput vectors, the market value equivalent of a Poynting vector is minimized with settlement-free peering. Paid peering is only enforceable because there are few enough retail providers for large segments of the population that they can wield monopsony power without customers fleeing on masse from degraded service.

> On the other hand, a roundworm likely has no sense of self, no identity, no awareness..no mental self to be able to acknowledge and reflect on those experience, so there is no 'someone'. And isn't that the point that matters?

We can always point to something we have that other organisms don't have and ask whether that is the point that matters. We can hypothesize things that probably don't exist and say that those things are what matters (e.g. the posited purpose of reincarnation, if such a thing existed).

Re: roundworm

1) sense of self -> it has to have a sense of proprioception, of embodiedment, in order to properly respond to its sensory information.

2) identity -> humans with global amnesia would lack a memory of identity.

3) a roundworm is sensorily aware, and, if it has a sense of proprioception, bodily aware of it's own actions and environmental responses to its actions.

4) It probably isn't self-reflective, but is this necessary in humans?

Its funny, I was always very good at math in school, that's why I chose not to study it in college! It seemed boring to me, I thought all I'd be doing was pushing numbers around...now I have a humanities degree (I don't regret it one bit, I learned to appreciate everything beautiful in the world), but I'm finding myself growing interested in math once again, but in things like set theory and topology and the areas that seem to ask the questions of representation that I felt what was called "STEM" never addressed.

It's not my fault! The author is right, things like mathematics, physic (in fact, nearly the whole of STEM, at this point) have been subordinated to the logic of "rationality," instead of desire for beauty in the world and human creative effort. What kind of "rationality" builds a society of busybodies and functionaries of power whose only job is to perpetuate a norm of bureaucratic dictatorship, who only have the "freedom" to watch youtube and scroll tiktok after work. True freedom only comes with power, with willful, creative action. And we aren't building a society that teaches kids to do anything but suppress their most natural tendencies for fear of total social alienation.
> does the faith change according to developments of science?

What's the alternative? When science and faith disagree you have to either adapt your faith or reject science, and going against science tends to be a battle against truth in the long term. Science isn't always right but its long-term results can hardly be argued against.

>Somehow an equilibrium was reached. I'm not exactly sure why the first year was so severe.

Isn't that obvious? It's a species specialized to feed on one plant, and it met a huge amount of that plant which was previously undisturbed by its preying. The result is explosive, actually exponential growth, until there are more beetles than the plant stock can support. Then the beetle population collapses, and after that an equilibrium develops. Cyclical variations can develop under certain circumstances, especially when there are strong seasons.
