General aviation is irrelevant because the NTSB does not care about it nor does the FAA ratchet regulations based on it.

>The fact that commercial airlines don't have many crashes is due to a completely vertical integrated system beyond just the analysis of crashes.

It has nothing to do with vertical integration (or you don’t know what that term means). There are several manufacturers of airplanes, several different manufactures of the engines for them, and hundreds of airlines all with their own business models, flight routes, personnel, financing models (old vs new planes), crew models (contract maintenance vs in-house for various parts), fleet models (unified 737 like southwest, potpourri like the other majors), regional offload (skywest), etc.

The only thing consistent about airlines is that they have to follow a strict set of regulations set by the FAA written in blood root caused by the NTSB.

If the government took your attitude of not caring about the cause because “it’s too hard” or “we don’t think it will be useful” (despite not knowing it), commercial aviation would be just as dangerous as general aviation and nobody in their right mind would fly frequently.

> Without case law, authorities don't know neither.

Authorities are the ones who create the rules. If they tell you what the rule means, that's what the rule means, because it's their rule. That's the point of having them be the one to tell you.
That’s wrong, you can use Pulumi as a team for free so long as you stay under the 150k free credit limit. You don’t have to manage your own state backend.

I’m using the free Pulumi tier at work, we have three EKS clusters, 3 RDS instances, about 6 ECRs, probably 10-12 EC2 instances, various k8s resources, VPCs etc and aren’t paying anything yet.

I do love the product and will be happy to pay when we reach that level.
I listened to an interview with him and Lex Friedman a while ago. Interesting discussion. He's very systematic and data driven and that's part of what drives the success of his channel. A lot of what he does is indeed ruthlessly optimized to tap into whatever it is people appreciate across the different social media channel he targets. The guy undeniably has some serious skills and he's built a highly effective revenue engine around the most pointless thing on this planet which is people spending hours looking at whatever big for profit social media companies feed them via their algorithms. It's a big market opportunity to tap into and he's done so effectively.

Instead of getting hung up on what is or isn't altruism, the other point of view here is that he leaves a trail of people that are objectively better off having encountered him. That's advertising money that is spent on worthy causes. Yes, it's self serving. But that money also serves the people he helps. It's an interesting dynamic. Ceasing to do what he does would actually be bad for the people that are on the receiving end of this. So, why should he?

He's found a way to funnel of some of the stupid money slushing around on the social media platforms. There are billions of it. And he's managing to do something more interesting with it than just squirreling it away. Compare that with the average influencer, viral marketing expert, troll farm or other sources of clickbait that are thriving on these platforms. At least this goes somewhere vaguely useful. Good for him and whoever is on the receiving end. And if he pockets some of that, how much worse is that than all the other nonsense on those platforms where most of the publishers just pocket 100% the revenue? I'm not judging that either.

If you are going to watch stuff on Tik Tok, Youtube, or whatever, you might as well watch his. Best case some random people benefit from this, worst case you watch some silly nonsense and are mildly entertained by that. Either way you feel good and nobody is getting hurt. I don't watch this stuff myself but that's just because I have other things to watch that I find more interesting.
Then they should ban that delivery address and force them to use a locker or at most prevent an account from purchasing goods for delivery on Amazon.

What happens if an Amazon driver encounters someone else at your property or scans your item at the wrong address? What happens when you have no counter evidence or simply get stone walled by their CS?

The EULA/T&C likely “allow” Amazon to do this however the FCC and other regulatory bodies should start regulating the market to prevent stuff like this from happening.

Amazon seems to also be interested in getting into healthcare, insurance and banking sectors should they be able to completely blacklist someone and deny them access to prescriptions or their bank accounts even if they were racist assholes?

It did highlight to me how often I circle back to Reddit almost subconsciously when idling surfing the internet. Will need to do something about that…
Coinbase makes their money by working in a grey area. Why should the public subsidize (or reward) Coinbase for their shady business strategy? Why can't it be part of Coinbase's business strategy to remain on the correct side of the law and then lobby congress for changes to those laws?

That's how it's been done for the past two centuries. Why change now?
I like an advertising monopoly: it means higher prices for less advertising (good) and more money for services to the actual population (good) and the high cost means ads I see are more likely to actually tailor to my interests (good). Why would we want a more "efficient" market for this? So we could pay a nano penny less for products we won't be buying anyway and in exchange Gmail, Facebook and every other free site becomes unusable as 98% of the screen is an ad? No Thanks.
Will this really work well out of the box with distros using linux-libre, such as Guix System? I believe every Intel iGPU after Haswell depends on binary blobs.

I also agree with several of the complaints others have made. Three mouse buttons is a must. I'd also prefer a trackball or pointing stick to a trackpad.

I think x86 is on its way out, and the issues of Intel ME and AMD PSP have made it not ideal for the likely audience of this laptop for quite some time. I wonder why they haven't gone with ARM or RISC-V like the MNT Reform or Pinebook Pro.
If this isn't antitrust behavior going on in broad daylight, then what is? Are the competition commissions of US sleeping in blissful ignorance while enjoying on taxpayer's salary? The least they should do is shut down those commissions to prevent wastage!
How do they handle the Fourth Amendment rights of US citizens abroad, like me? My understanding is that those rights must be respected even abroad by US governmental entities when they know or reasonably should know that data they might search or seize belongs to a US citizen.

And if this data includes sufficient identifying info, they should be able to identify me as a US citizen. Even phone number would be enough, since I think that and my US social security number are together in various public data breach datasets.

(Yes, my US phone number should be generating foreign location data. I have two eSIMs simultaneously active, one US and one foreign. For odd reasons I don’t think I have proper roaming working for the US number where I am now, but it does work via Wi-Fi calling which does share the country info with the carrier - and I have had international roaming working at other times.)

Why should my SSN indicate citizenship, some might wonder? SSA certainly knows I was granted my SSN years ago as a newborn citizen, and the Department of State knows I hold a current US passport and have never relinquished my US citizenship.

> USA is the world's finance hub because it has the most reliable systems for trading financial assets, and because it has the most reliable currency

We had the largest consumer market which underwrote a deep financial system. That depth and breadth, together with a rules-based system, is what fuels American financial hegemony. Between political volatility, sanctions and our archaic payment system, we do not hold out reliability as a selling point. (You have to go out to the 1910s to see American financial infrastructure being at the forefront.)

There are definitely lessons to be ported from crypto to our system. But they can come from academia and non-commercial hobbyists or be copied once demonstrated in e.g. London.

Yes. You’re citing Q3 ‘22 materials. The programme lost the support it was limping on after Silvergate, SVB and Signatures’ failures. FedNow makes more sense anyway. (We probably wouldn’t have it without crypto.)
>Boomers need to retire already, because they've held onto the top rung of the ladder for far too long

Boomers will just leave their wealth to their kids, so if you don't have well off parents, you'll still find yourself underneath the ladder, holding the short stick, at the upcoming generational wealth transfer. We need more inheritance taxes, at least in Europe, which at his point is a feudal state from this tax-free inter generational wealth transfers in some parts.

MrBeast is exactly the media phenomenon a broken system would come up with in some 80s cyberpunk movie, as a bandaid to give people the illusion of hope: the 'happy hour' show in a boring dystopia.

That is not MrBeasts fault, it's the environment's. Say you see MrBeast give thousands of people help, and you have the same problem as these people - sure, you're happy for the other people but why didn't you get any help? The show is over, you're left alone, your problem is currently not interesting.

Edit: There is also the power gradient in all of this performance that this video[0] highlights well. Nobody can complain about how they're being treated or portrayed, because they are in need. That is taking away something from the people who receive something, this kind of charity treats them as less - they're extras on stage.

Seems to me you've just selected a prior perspective - "the feedback loops that govern basic behavior are set up for survival" - which doesn't allow for altruism.

I see reasoning like this online all the time. A person donates $10 billion, and people say they it must have given them a warm fuzzy feeling, and that feeling is by definition worth $10 billion, because that's what they paid for it. As if the idea of selflessness or human goodness or anything existing outside the real of rational economic exchange is so challenging they find it more plausible that a warm feeling is worth $10 billion.

(Not that I think MrBeast is particularly an example of altruism - although it's probably an example of good)

It depends if one interprets "trad wife" to mean "far-right cultural atavism" or "traditional wife." I try to listen to those who subscribe to the movement, and they report the latter, every time. It seems those who interpret it as "far-right cultural atavism" refuse to actually listen to the women who find meaning in the lifestyle. Inasmuch, I see these articles strongly linked, and I find the juxtaposition really interesting.
I think the thesis is wrong. It’s not that the average interaction is with familiar individuals. I’ve been a mod, lurker and commenter on a lot of subreddits. And on each of those, there are maybe 10 users I recognize and whose comments I see occasionally.

What is the case, is that on short timescales, the average interaction is consistent with what I expect from the community. The anonymity of Reddit has show that the specific face or individual doesn’t matter. It has a ‘friend’ or ‘follow’ option that I’ve never used and really never felt like I needed to use it.

Reddit actually became less familiar to me when I saw users tag other users in a post to share them with other users. The same with user specific subreddits. It’s when Reddit moved from content centric to user centric.

Without agreeing or disagreeing with either view, 100% of recovering drug addicts used drugs prior to seeking treatment for a drug addition - it’s not like people go into a total freeze while using drugs to escape, they may well come out with more problems than when they became addicted, but it’s not as binary as drugs do or don’t help.
>They would like to introduce a year of mandatory service after the young are done with school to keep the cost low.

This has been the norm in Austria for a while which I assume is where Germany got the idea. Military service is mandatory here but if you want to legally avoid it, you have to do mandatory civil duties in public services that suffer from labor shortages.
Would also be totally unfair. Some of us grew to 1.95m and weigh 95kg (I'm told it's close to 200 pounds), not because we're fat. Apparently your weight is proportional to some power of your height.

It's the other way around for Mr. Beast, though. Keanu happens to have a huge load of money from doing other things like acting. And as a side note, he is widely talked about on various internet communities like Reddit and gets a huge amount of respect for being an awesome person. (I see much more about him on the internet than Mr. Beast to be honest -- Mr. Beast is mostly confined to the Youtube world.)

Mr. Beast, on the other hand, uses this charitable content creation model to make money to give away. If you remove the advertising, monetizing, etc., Mr. Beast has nothing to give away. That's the genius of the model.

Whether Mr. Beast is altruistic is the topic of 90% of this HN thread, and yet we'll never be able to answer it without knowing his true internal intentions. IMO, whether he's altruistic is irrelevant. He does so much more good for people than the vast majority of individuals or business that it seems odd to critique it.

To me, it's pretty awesome that someone found a way to hack the (often morally dubious) content creation business model into giving away a vast amount of the ad/sponsor income. Any other creator, that money funds the creator and production of content. And we don't typically complain about that, as long as we get entertaining/educational/artistic content we enjoy. (Some of our capitalist senses might even say it's totally fine to get rich off this model.)

Mr. Beast works within the exact same business model while also giving a huge amount of money away, in a way that a lot of people (though obviously not the HN crowd) enjoy. And yet we're complaining about that use of the content creator business model. But when no money is given away, it's fine?

What are we even critiquing!? I'm not even sure Mr. Beast himself would say that this model is truly altruistic. He has always been very transparent and honest about how it works.

I know "Peterson und Findus" Runs in VMware (Windows XP). Did it myself. Also "Kapitän Säbelzahns Piratenprüfung" und "Pferd und Pony: Mein Pferdehof" work in VMware but not in Virtual box.

Also some games (I believe "Petersson und Findus" as well as "Autos bauen mit Willy Werkel") have 16 bit installers but 32 bit executables. So as long as you can install/extract the files in a VM, you can just copy over the installation and run it on Windows 10.

String theory looks like a good math framework to describe possible universes. Physics today is hindered by the obsessive idea that what we see around - the observable universe - is all there is, rather than just one of many possible worlds. This is the good old geocentric model on steroids. And this is why physicists are puzzled by the lucky combination of constants that define our world.
If the things they're doing with that freedom aren't too bad, I don't see why not.

Probably not, given the integrated broker-exchange-custodian model. But that’s the point. We specifically outlawed that in 1934. Coinbase was counting on rules being changed in the midst of regulatory inertia.

I quit Reddit, what, two years ago, was it? This past week, I did what I've been putting off; I erased all my posts, while the API is still there.
“ Humans don’t like bullies. ”

Uh. All recorded history would suggest otherwise. Humans love bullies, strongmen, charlatans who promise panaceas at the wave of a stick.

What humans actually don’t like are bullies outside of the current established and expected hierarchy - bullies that threaten their bully.

Prestige and dominance are an utter time-sink, and the reward curve is hideously steep - unless you are at the very pinnacle of the hierarchy, you grind to stay afloat - whereas at the top, prestige and dominance magnetically attract to you.

I think a lot of what we take as being the default condition isn’t - we see all these behaviours and we assume it’s something innate to us and other primates - but I think it’s cultural and Malthusian, rather than a hard-baked desire for primacy.

The hard-baked desire is for survival - and prestige play is a minmax route to this for most people living in a society - it’s easier than setting up your own society. With blackjack. And…

Anyway. Ramblings. My perspective emerges from stepping sideways off the highway of life:

I once strove for status, and garnered no small amount. Didn’t do a damned thing for me - the hierarchy may as well be infinite.

I have found that I enjoy having less than zero status, as there’s nothing to lose, no plays to make, no maintenance payments to be made - here, everyone thinks I am a pauper, possibly mentally defective, definitely helplessly living in squalor off the land like our ancestors. The reality is somewhat different, but I’m content for others to think otherwise. I spent far too much of my life being dogged by high expectations.

I’m a sample of one, but I can’t help but try to examine why I feel as I do - and I think the answer is that I derive my security entirely outside of interpersonal relationships - I don’t owe anyone anything, nor they me, and I need nothing from them.

So… is status “real”? I doubt it. I think it’s just a manifestation of fear and insecurity, and a primal need for a parent figure who can protect and guide.

Perhaps the latter - parents - are also an important part of the need for social hierarchy, as they’re also an element I lacked, being largely raised by impersonal, militarised institutions.
