> Privatisation is founded upon this (false) conception

“Privatization” is a government policy, not “modern economic theory”, and to the extent that policy is based on that broad concept of a general effect of which the essay purported to document an example (rather than specific analysis of the domain being privatized), that essay is not the basis (it neither introduced the concept—which was much older—nor was is it the sole purported example).

> This was what was espoused by the (debunked) paper and remains a pillar of contemporary neo-liberal ideology.

It was a pillar of liberal ideology long before the essay was written, it never rested on the essay and, in any case, ideology isn’t the same as economic theory (Austrian school aside.)

Show HN: smol menubar - Zero latency access to ChatGPT/Bard
RSX-11M was released in November 1974, at the same time as CP/M, itself influenced by DEC's TOPS-10 operating system.

The first version of the RSX-11M file system had a flat hierarchy (as CP/M), meaning it was not possible to have folders inside folders.

RSX-11M 2.0 was introduced in September 1975, it was multi-users. For CP/M it was in 1979.

=> In contrast, Data General RDOS (Real-time Disk Operating System) was a real-time, multi-user, hierarchical file system operating system released in 1970!

Many command names from RSX-11 and CP/M are the same as in RDOS.

Yup, my take as well. "Oh, look, person who dedicated his life to VR glasses likes VR glasses." Oculus was also going to be a revolution but it stayed a niche. May these folks who explore alternate tech be blessed, but so far I see zero great uses of this tech, aside from simulation for training medics, military, police officers and so on. But those uses require much better latency, resolution & so on and there are already companies serving those niches with devices decidedly more expensive than any consumer can afford.

(X)

Only if they are good outlets. The loss of Gawkers was absolutely a net positive to society for example. Vice used to be absurdly good, mind you, but that was 10-15 years ago at best. There may not be that much of a loss here either, like Gawker.

On the other hand, if stuff like AP, Reuters, or CS Monitor closed down, THAT would be an actual loss. Those people actually still do good investigative journalism now and then.

Every Hacker News thread inevitably devolves into a conversation about the US Constitution and the Founding Fathers regardless of any attempts to stop it.

The ongoing insinuation that the US is the One True Way to run a State has caused so much legitimate worldwide damage. It’s sad to see supposedly enlightened HN commenters continue to perpetuate it.
> Even things that should be no-brainers like "should we preserve our habitat or burn it down for profit", or questions like "is it a good idea to have loads of deadly assault weapons just float around in our society", seem to be too hard for our species to resolve.

These are brain intensive questions because they require deep moral, political, economic and ecological context. It's very difficult to express such deep context to an AI agent with prompting, fine tuning or training. I suspect this deep context also makes it difficult to align humans on these issues with education, media or hacker news comments.
> Get woke, go broke.

A quarter of all US newspapers closed since 2005, and they've been shutting down at a pace of 2 newspapers per week.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/29/business/media/local-news...

The same source extrapolates that a third of all US newspapers is set to close by 2025.

Do you honestly believe that this bankruptcy wave only affects "woke" newspapers?

Also, your "Get woke, go broke" comment is based on the idea that if a newspaper you follow starts reporting things you don't like or personally agree them protest is a healthy or desirable course of action, as if depriving funds from a business will eliminate things you don't like or understand. I'm not sure this is a healthy take, and is reminiscente of extremism.

Yeah my partner and I moved to Amsterdam last year and it's wild how different from American cities it is. We think of it as a "NYC lite", as in you don't have the bonkers density, height, and din of NYC but you get almost all the benefits (diversity, walkability, liberalism, culture, tolerance), and there are actually children and families here (OK I know this stuff exists outside of Manhattan, don't @ me).

But even compared to NYC the proliferation of parks and playgrounds is astounding. We thought we must live in a green paradise, but it really doesn't even rate (something like 14% tree cover; most major EU cities are > 20%).

I think stuff like this is changing. You're starting to see far less car-centric design, and there are little programs like NYC's request a tree. I worry a little about what self-driving cars will do the trend though, but maybe it's not a big deal?

It's literally an observational summary of all filed provisional death certificates between between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2022 limited to those that specifically mention "heart attacks" (AMI - acute myocardial infarctions) [0].

As those death certificates don't mention measles, rubella, flu, or COVID vaccinations, etc. they don't feature in a pure numerical grouping and summary.

If you feel that vaccination status play a part worthy of notice then you are free to pull the data yourself [1] and cross reference those deaths against vaccination status data.

Very few published studies are the be all to end all, they are each at best parts of a greater picture, what this study does highlight is that AMI's trended downwards for almost a decade and then rose as COVID spread.

Clearly there is more work to be down here - as this study signposts.

> be in office just for the shake of being in office.

That's what most companies which now have a 'hybrid' model do. Many around here (UK) advertise at being 'hybrid', meaning 2 days in a office a week. But, really, why?

I think most companies don't have a solid justification for this.

IMHO, if there must be set days in office they must be special days with everyone in office the same day and a focus on face-to-face interactions. If it's to code in office instead of at home 1-2 days a week there is no point at all.

> Why would people suddenly need to take up childcare?

...that's what immediately struck me as weird as well about the article. It seems to be presuming that raising young children while simultaneously doing a fulltime WFH job would sort of naturally be a position that an employee would now find themselves in.

Elsewhere in this thread, the question of whether or not that's possible is being hotly debated. But, be that as it may, I would expect that, if this does occur, it would occur by agreement between employer and employee and with some sort of accommodation around lost productivity.

But, maybe, the actual substance of the matter is that Dell allowed its people to WFH and now all of those couples that could previously have only one breadwinner due to having small children are suddenly drawing two fulltime salaries due to combining WFH with parenting responsibilities. If that's actually the case, then I kind of agree that there's a real problem there, but would contend that it's only tangentially related to WFH.
In my opinion it's extremely likely that this happened:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-nuclear_movement_in_Germa...

All Russia had to do is use their unlimited money (from selling gas to Germany) to buy some influence in German news papers (difficulty level: easy) and maybe pay some people to organize protests.

Of course the fact that Russians bought Schroder isn't even speculation (unlike the above). To me the above is extremely likely to have happened (and probably still on-going).
You'd be surprised how many countries have tax exemptions for churches of about any denomination. There's still a tradition apparently that the business of god(s) shouldn't be investigated by man, or something.
Lockdown completely killed my mum's social life. She's in her 80s and all her friends were met through church (UK). During the pandemic her church only did some online services and no outdoors meets or anything and never really recovered. I think it was closed for at least 2 years. It was really sad, probably the only chance her friends had to meet up was at funerals, which were also limited. Now she has started meeting up with neighbours more which great but doesn't really replace the routine she had with church. It seemed her denomination was keen to close that small community church anyway and the people running it were happy to keep it closed rather excessively in my opinion.

As a counterpoint, pubs (particularly micropubs) and cafes in my area are thriving!

IME a lot of these people are middle men -- though it looks like it, they aren't actually offering to buy a link; they'll just add you to the list of sites willing to sell links that they hawk around to other site operators (via spam, natch)

Also, when I see prices mentioned, they tend to be in the $10-$50 range. But that could just be the tier my sites are in, I guess.

All that aside, it's an absolute no from me. Lie down with dogs, get fleas.
> call things "authoritarian regimes" with no idea what those actually look like. Doesn't make them so.

It's ongoing effort. At first they scrapped ShareGPT and used it to train the Alpaca model. After that others have pruned the dataset to remove examples where ChatGPT refused to answer. These datasets and resulting models are called "uncensored". They often leave disclaimer that the model is biased and unaligned, and that aligning should be done with LoRA layer.

Of course, no one bothered to this "ethics" LoRA so far and the unaligned models have better quality outputs than the early Alpaca models.

Let me rephrase this "Mom Blogs put links to Gambling Sites to get their readers, especially new Mothers, hooked to Gambling"

Sure, BIG Gambling Company is bad.
But the so called 'mom blogs' have no ethics and decency for doing this.

If I were a reader, I might not trust the Gambling Company but I have a relationship ( as a reader ) with the Mom Blog owner.
And it's that person who has abused our relationship.

The outrage should be directed more at these women ( I assume ) who are basically predators preying on new mothers who might be at an emotionally vulnerable stage of their lives.
Webcomics are still fairly good at it. I don't really understand how else I would go about following a webcomic that has plot (i.e. I want to read each episode exactly once, in order).
