That's an interesting viewpoint, and I think it's one way to look at it. But, we have to go back and ask: let's suppose we CAN make sure that enough people get jobs to avoid civil unrest, to use your terminology.

What will those jobs be? They will unlikely be creative jobs, since most of those will be taken over by AI. Perhaps there will be a few creative jobs left (I sincerely doubt AI will be able to write the next Dostoyevsky novel in my lifetime, but you never know). But even IF there are a few creative jobs left, they will be rather miniscule. Thus, the only jobs left will be the kind that is already increasing today: some small cog in a massive corporate scheme that somehow has not yet been automated yet.

I believe there are at least some alternatives, such as: we could form a new conglomeration (perhaps a union or cartel of sorts) of people who refuse to use AI in their business, and who refuse to do business with anyone using AI. Obviously, it would take some effort, but maybe it's possible. In this union, we would operate society normally, but with a code of ethics that prevents the use of advanced AI and maybe other dangerous technologies, and we would develop a more sustainable way of living that involves sustainable farming and being more reliant on each other instead of letting massive, soulless tech companies control us.

I am formulating a more detailed proposal but that's the gist of one of my ideas.
The problem, of course, is utilization.

Amortized capital costs for desalination runs about 40%,[0] so if you "charge" for 12 hours and "discharge" for 12 hours then your facility doubles in size, so your desalination cost increase by (at least) 40%. This doesn't even account for added maintenance btw.

If you charge for 6 hours (ie the solar peak) and discharge for 18 hours, you need a facility 4x as large, and your desalination costs increase by at least 160%.

Desalination isn't 'free' energy storage.

I believe the alternative is a VPN, secure tunnel, authenticated proxy, or similar. Those also have accidental failure modes that would permit access to the DB regardless of which subnet it's in. I'd consider each of those as a second factor, in addition to the DB password.

"...when the companies have “actual knowledge” that illicit drugs are being distributed on their platforms"

chat providers could also pivot to a pfs model with deniability that effectively removes them from ever knowing about chat at all.

Frankly I think providers are in a bind. Federal agencies using this regulation could tank the product through repeated action against the public interest (like disclosing an abortion for example.). The compliance overhead is also nontrivial.

Then again it could force the hand of companies like signal into a supreme court showdown.
The best advice I can give you. Don't bother, it's not worth the trouble. Long term you will not keep the profits you think you've made. The least risky way of trading is to sell options on the stock you own. The problem is that you might have a few profitable months but just as you want to be sure to keep your stock because it's going up, it get's taken away. Simply because it's going up. Or your stock is collapsing and you want to sell but if you do you have to take an even bigger loss. It's just not worth it. Only the brokerage firms win. Options bring in lots of transaction fees. Run,run away. You'll be happier.
Desalination plants do REALLY badly when run infrequently. All the salt water, brine, etc. creates absolute havoc when it sits for random period of time, and maintenance costs are already a huge part of opex for desal plants.

Also, the concentrated brine is a real problem in any area that has regular sealife. Maybe not a big problem in the salt ponds already, but it will kill off anything normal.
I agree that a ban on the posts isn't the right way. I agree moderation is the right way forward but we need much more active anti flamebait and anti culture war moderation.
This is also in rather poor taste.

Obviously yes? Why wouldn’t it be? Outsourcing isn’t inherently good or bad, it’s just a means to an end that may have good or bad side effects.

Why do you think Africa would have been significantly better off without the slave trade?

That seems highly unlikely, especially because space travel in real life is a lot more difficult than Star Trek makes it appear.

But even so, I find the idea of exhausting earth rather morally reprehensible. There are beautiful life forms on earth such as birds, bears, fish, and flowers that don't deserve our carelessness. Should we not treat them with some basic level of kindess and compassion also?

I can somewhat sidestep that issue and say that societal factors can make you think you are exclusively heterosexual, even if we agreed that sexuality is an

Exactly, which is why I recommend caution and ethical investigations, instead of hoping that this new stuff will just be hype and burn itself out. Caution is a lot better a strategy than guess and check.

Yeah, it's gonna be a while until I can have a lot of formulas, but I do think I'm adding value in a few ways:

- Copying LaTeX on formula pages
- Formulas have an open-graph preview so if they are linked on social media you can see the formulas in the preview
- The search is the main page, in focus, so you can realistically open a new browser tab and find a formula that you know exists in under a second.
- Hidden feature: the forward-slash (/) key also triggers the search dialogue, so minimal mouse is needed ever while navigating the site.

Looking up large metropolitan water suppliers' average water treatment rates and service area sizes, ~80 gallons/person/day does seem to be a reasonable year-round average for total water consumption. (Although note that water usage is deeply seasonal--you might see 2× water consumption in summer as you do in winter).

> If you upgrade a shared library to fix a problem, how do you know that the application has been tested against the fixed version?

Distro's like Debian solve that problem by not upgrading. The only things deemed worthy of "fixing" are security issues, and they are fixed by backporting the fix (only) to the existing shared library. Thus no API's (of any sort - even unofficial ones like screen scraping) are upgraded or changed, so no testing is necessary.

And thus:

> And no, your package manager won't know.

It doesn't have to know, because the package manager can assume all releases for Debian stable are backward compatible with all the packages in that release.

A lot of the noise you see on HN comes from people using distro's on their desktops. To them a distro is a collection of pre-packaged software with all the latest shinies, which they upgrade regularly. But Linux's desktop usage is 3%, whereas it server usage is claimed to be over 95% (which eclipses Windows Desktop share). Consequently distros are largely shaped not by the noisy desktop users, but by the requirements of sysadmin's. They need a platform that is guaranteed both stable and secure for years. To keep it stable, they must solve the problem you describe, and for the most part they have.
Nice to see “Chuck Schuldiner of Death” referenced. An insanely talented musician, gone way too soon.

I feel like they are talking past each other, or at least talking about different things.

Hickey seems to be talking about breaking the compiler. That is, he is saying that changing the return signature from null|int to int should not break the compilation. In effect, this would create a warning a la 'You are checking for null, but var x cannot be null'.

The author seems to be talking about breaking changes in the behaviour/operation sense.

Those are different types of breaking.

Have you tried contacting support? https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/contact-form.html
This ("so many ways to exploit modern systems") is not actually true.

Yes, plenty of memory-unsafety vulnerabilities exist, but modern mitigations like stack cookies, ASLR, (and sometimes) sandboxing and PAC make it unlikely that e.g. a buffer overflow is exploitable without other factors such as an information leak from your machine back to the attacker. (This might be the case on publicly-accessible servers, but probably not on your laptop.)

The vulnerability being discussed here is unusually dangerous because it's more like command injection, and mitigations aren't going to help.
That's sorta like saying that running JTR on password hashes doesn't amount to hacking.
Eventually this becomes an issue of national security. If your brightest minds are categorically excluded from education in the service of maintaining the American class structure and quarterly profit margins, if debt cripples to such a degree that it disenfranchises anyone from considering education in the first place, then it becomes increasingly difficult to engage in the type of research and development that keeps and maintains your nations elite status.

A parasitic idiocracy ensues from which the prospect of recovery at all is grim at best.
It goes the other way, too. There are definitely people out there that don't write tests because they think types save you from that.

Because there's a power imbalance that predators are all-too-eager to exploit.

Sometimes in the literal definition in terms of raw strength, but just as much in terms of social manipulation and life experience that can take advantage of their often more naive victims. There's also a layer of assumed authority and deference at play.

I'm not actually criticizing GoLang, just pointing out some facts.

1. is fair.

2. I'd argue is false, given Fuschia and Dart are tightly integrated (as another commenter noted) and that GoLang was originally designed as a C++ replacement born from the Plan9/Inferno tool chains (certainly "OS-level"). Also there's a ton of non-kernel code in an OS so this is a really blurry distinction. containerd does some pretty low level stuff with Linux and GoLang is perfectly capable of this.. if Fuschia wanted to use it they could.

One could argue that despite being free, African Americans still had to work against racism, unfair laws, and a system rigged against them in many ways. Those are things a white immigrant wouldn't have had to deal with, but black immigrants would have. Is the black immigrant excluded or included in any potential reparations?
Italian sparkling water can command a higher price because... Italian.

Olive oil from California is also much cheaper than Olive Oil from Italy.

In both cases, it's up to you to decide if you think there is any actual quality difference, and if such a thing is worth money to you.

Alternatively, the soviets usually only had one (maybe two-three if it was military equipment) brands or models for any one thing. So there is that alternative.
Transferring costs from compile time to runtime is pretty much the signature move of dynamic languages. If you already carry around type information and check it at runtime, why not just add union types? Your implicit conversion is zero cost at that point, after all.
> The blog sets up to address the "claim by proponents of dynamically typed programming languages" that "once you have unit testing static type checking is redundant". This is a strawman and I'm fairly sure it was a strawman in 2012 as well.

In the past year I've seen at least half a dozen posts here on HN making this exact claim. Now I kind of wish I'd saved a few.
The Notre Dame and Michigan football stadiums are just a little more than 150 miles from each other. Those all-time statistics may have been significantly different, given that for a few decades Michigan refused to play Notre Dame because of anti-catholic sentiment.
Maybe it could be combined with pumped hydro? Pump the water to a higher elevation during daylight hours, then use the pressure of the elevated water to drive osmosis based desalination around the clock. You would have to build a reserviour, but it only has to be big enough to hold 24 hours worth of water. If there is not a high enough hill, some/all of the elevation difference can be in the form of a hole, such as an old mine.
Take a look at California if you want to see a failed attempt at reform - namely NOT incarcerating criminals.

The results is worsening crime rates and multiple examples of serial recidivism where the public pays the cost through lower quality of life.

I’m not saying there isn’t room for reform, but some people need to be in prison not for their own good, but for the public’s good.

Yes, but no. Water in different locations has different chemistry. The levels and kinds of dissolved minerals differ drastically and that affects the taste. In theory it's possible to take distilled or r/o water and add exact amounts of various carbonates, chlorides, and sulfates to match any water profile. In practice, it's not worth it it.
Super helpful take, thanks!
What is a utopian view of cyberpunk fiction? I don't know any.

The "punk" in the genre is the rebellion against or rejection of a corrupt and oppressive system that chews people up and spits them out as either defeated or criminals. If you're reading something else, it's not cyberpunk by definition.

Remember, it's hi-tech and low lives.

Enough unit testing will test everything the type system can. However, that is way more work than a good type system.

We didn't forget. It would just be expensive, and Americans simply don't want their hard-earned tax dollars to pay to feed other people's kids, so schools have to resort to cheap solutions.

This right here. Even low grade continual energy supply is better for desal.
Heh, I took this class back in August 2018 where it originated, at the National University of Singapore (NUS), CS1101S[1] taught by Dr. Martin Henz.

I was someone who thought he knew all about computers because I could program a tiny bit of C++ and Java, and thought this class would be a piece of cake. I couldn't have been more mistaken. The class kicked my arse so badly. I remember my score for the midterm: 34/75. I ended up getting a B– for it. I'll be honest, I hated it at first. Where were the loops, where were the arrays? Why was everything involving recursion? Why did some recursive code give rise to iterative algorithms, and others, recursive ones (the difference is tail-call optimisation to give constant stack space versus some growing stack space)? Why were lists this weird nested square bracket syntax???

The irony is that in my fifth year last year, I ended up becoming a teaching assistant for the very same module itself, because I realised how useful the module would be. There was truly a little bit of everything: from algorithmic complexity, to data structures, to even a bit of compilers and garbage collection, with the environment model of execution, meta-circular evaluator at the end of the textbook, respectively.

I had to prove to the lecturer that despite my rather lousy grade in the module itself, my experience in everything else counted as something. A compilers class that was conducted entirely in OCaml was a great refresher on functional programming techniques, as was my internships where I learnt C#'s LINQ. I read the textbook end-to-end while preparing to teach the class—something I ought to have done as a student in the first place. My opinion of the class has changed drastically: it's one of the best introductory CS modules there is, and the fact that NUS chose to use SICP as a textbook is one reason why its CS department has skyrocketed.

I have no comment about emulating Scheme with JS. I neither like nor use either language.
