It's not my first choice of science magazine subscription. So at $50/year, how much am I spending on subscriptions?

Is their digital-only subscription any cheaper? Don't need the paper one. If I do have to pay $50/year for their digital only subscription, do I get access to their back catalog for that, or only the new ones going forward?

I'm not just picking on Clarkesworld. For the longest time now, Analog has been under the impression that it's ok to half-ass it and have their digital edition not match up with the paper edition, not to mention refusing to release it in standard formats. Quite frankly, in a world where even National Geographic can't make it, what hope is there for these pulps? In an earlier time you might liken them to the farm leagues for genre novel publishing, but that's dying too.
How about something like "There are no hard rules or silver bullets - everything exists in some context. A great solution in one context can be a disaster in a different one. Therefore, the first step is for me to always understand the context and the needs of the organization and based on that find a good solution".
Politicians use the exact same companies and tactics to solicit votes, so why would they fight against themselves?

A politician's job is to stay in power and work towards their reelection, not make your life better. In some cases those goals happen to align but that's merely coincidence and should not be taken for granted.

In this case, effective anti-robocall legislation would also work against their own interests.
It’s easy to make a high tc superconductor have lower tc through poor production quality. It may very well be that a poor sample is 110K while a high quality sample is >400K.

Have you been able to hire US based developers with experience in eBPF, C/C++, XDP, Linux internals, K8s internals, and/or Go because we sure as shit haven't despite trying for almost half a decade.

Our entire agent team is now split across Eastern Europe, Israel, and India for this very reason.

P.S. We were offering market rate (TC $200-300k/yr) before calling it quits and hiring in Eastern Europe/Israel/India for a TC of $60-110k/yr.

Even with digital signatures, there are limits to what we can really verify.

We'll likely be able to verify whether an entity is a real human, using some kind of "proof of humanity" system.

We will have cameras/mics with private keys built-in. The content can be signed as it's produced. But in this case, what's stopping me from recording a fake recording?

Maybe it's a non-issue. We used text to record history and we've been able to manipulate that since, well, forever.

Sorry, but I think it's correlated in two ways. One is that very bright people, which I think includes most PhD-havers, are especially used to being right. When they have the rare experience of being ignorant and wrong, they may struggle with it much more than others. Two, academia is a bubble. I think that's great; I love that we have a place where people who are deeply interested in something can focus entirely on that. But it necessarily means that they're less likely to know about things outside that bubble.

That's not to say it's a perfect correlation. I know plenty of people with PhDs who don't have the problem in the XKCD cartoon. But I too am careful hiring PhDs in tech jobs. Professional work is just very different than academic work. It takes time to learn it for people whose main focus is the theory. After all, "In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice..."
We're all trying to frame things in a way that will logically lead our preferred solutions.

But the description "police exist to enforce existing power structures" implies that the power structures are illegitimate, which suggests that the police are as well, which in turn suggests we should tear it all down and start over.

But I've never seen anyone who 1) recommends tearing everything down and 2) has a realistic (or even defined) plan to rebuild it.
Ok I get what the title's purpose is, but that implied something totally different than what I actually read.

Because of the Police's past and ongoing actions and behaviors. But let's make it out that those people that have become jaded regarding the Police are the ones acting in bad faith, versus, you know, the people with authority whose own actions are the cause of 'needing to make improvements' which in the current discussion is a reduction a euphemism for 'the Police stealing people's property'.

Had an account booted from Amazon Affiliates. Vague reasons given. Appealed, denied, stated it final.

But they have arbitration clause, so maybe that's an option? Arbitration costs $2000 USD.

These kinds of situations need something of regulation. Not heavy, just let us get a hold of a human to explain and review these cases.
Knowing that US was supplying USSR with weapons,airplanes, trucks and helping build entire factories right up until the end of the war and then wanted to nuke the same ally is really buffling.
One one hand can be said, yes they wanted USSR to bleed fighting Germany (or do the harder fighting part) on the other hand it's just confusing and possibly different fractions within US government wanting different things.

>In fact, recently I’ve become acutely aware of reader mode. All time spent on styling will be obliterated by reader mode, and that’s a great thing!

Reader mode is mostly for longer text. Doesn't help with WPAs as much.

>Moreover, proper tagging is extremely descriptive in a machine-readable format. This is likely a more compelling reason for adopting modern HTML than saving design time. The shift from primary data interfaces to secondary interfaces is already underway. RSS refuses to die. ChatGPT-like interfaces are likely the future of human data access. We’re going back to the beginning. Advertisers may be scared, but I’m not! Let’s start the revolution and set the world on fire with modern HTML.

Not sure what this (the most important part) attempts to say.

What does the advent of ChatGPT-like interfaces have to do with "adopting modern HTML" and "proper tagging"? If anything ChatGPT-like interfaces would require less tagging, and can do the "figuring out what the text is" part of semantic web without sementic metadata (and they can do it directly on the actual text, whereas the metadata would more likely be abused and misleading for SEO).
Wait, are people buying EVs because they expect to be paying less to power their vehicles? I thought they were buying them for other reasons than that.

As the author of the article, I agree with you.

I also agree that trying to force "problem" into the discussion isn't useful, and in fact is counter-productive because you're verbally moving further away from what the business is really doing.

So perhaps the whole thing should be qualified as: In the case that a business is solving a problem, which _is_ typically the case in B2B (notice all your examples were B2C), _then_ this is a useful way of breaking down the typical questions you should be posing yourself.
Well, if you are talking about the United States and the supposed Supreme Law of the Land that nobody seems to be too well educated on nowadays, actually it is the job of local militia to defend and enforce civil order

You can not have a free society without a populace taking responsibility for their own. There is a reason the slogan "freedom isn't free", was a big thing in America til just a generation or two ago. The second you start delegating things like safety to the gov you've lost.

Just look at modern America, a giant portion of folks cannot survive without gov assistance now, and look where that got us. How can you oppose a corrupt gov if you cannot even survive without it?

Unless you are so brainwashed (as many still are) that you think that the total lack of privacy and agency in modern America is both good, and somehow fitting to the intent of the Constitution as written.
> No one's going to spend all day making candy and put it in the "free candy" bowl when that one asshole kid down the street just takes all of the candy out of the bowl every single day.

Software is an infinite candy bowl. Taking candy out of the bowl does not take any candy from the person who made it.

Imagine if this was the physical world, and you had a machine that could end world hunger. You could copy food like you could copy and paste information on a computer. Imagine someone who would keep that machine to themself, out of a sense of entitlement to make a few bucks. Any person with any sense of morality can see the obvious problem with that.

100% correct. You hit the nail right on the head. People are dehumanizing other groups by refusing to actually speak with them. This makes it easier for them to discriminate against such groups. The end game of the dehumanizing process is not good if you follow history at all.

People in general are much more reasonable in person than the internet would lead you to believe.
My mistake, I’ve just remembered these must already be mine. Proceeds to walk out with them.
It's a shame literary gigantism has become fashionable or at least marketable.

Novels are ok, but I've come to despise "book series". It seems everything wants to grow and, if possible, become a Netflix show.

Short fiction is a marvelous art form, which requires a precision with plot and/or words that is hard to match. Novels have room to breathe and grow, but there's no such luxury with a short story: every word matters.

Few things are as enjoyable as a well-crafted short story.
This is a simplification that doesn’t really work. Japan decided as part of their war economy to decentralize their war industries to protect them from bombing - literally putting furnaces into small urban and rural environments rather than centralizing production as all the other powers did. This is why they failed to accomplish real industrial scaling during the war.

As the old line goes - in jungle fighting, the Japanese way of war was to fight in the jungle. The Brit’s way of war was to go through and around way the jungle. The Americans simply leveled the jungle.

That’s why the Japanese strategy didn’t work. That decentralization became a liability even before the cities were destroyed and why you can’t divide Japanese cities into civilian and military targets.
> phone companies have effectively killed the “phone call” through their neglect.

They haven't - they're still making bank on the spam traffic, which is also why they're reluctant to implement solutions despite it technically being trivial.

If phone spam was actually making a dent in revenue (aka legitimate call revenue was going down and the revenue from spam wasn't making up for it) they would've got their act together very quickly.
Not quite getting this article.

When you semantically describe your HTML, indeed the intent and meaning of your data becomes easily machine-readable.

That's not a solution, it's the entire problem. In today's ecosystem it means somebody takes your shit and runs with it. That's why the walled gardens are getting ever higher walls. "Open data" is an existential threat if you're the one paying for the creation/hosting of that data.
Even if everything in your life happened via the web, there's no requirement you do that via a single browser instance.

The better attitude to take is the more things you do via the web, the more important it is to have good operational hygiene and separation of concerns with regards to your browser use.

Stop treating tabs as sufficient separation of concerns. Use browser instances. Put them in containers or even VMs if you can afford to.

For sure. "Bring the card to the device" and "bring the device to the card" seem about equivalent to me in convenience unless the device is something that the waitstaff is going to carry all the time anyhow.
It's pretty common in academic research for trained model weights to be licensed under something different from the code that one would run to create such a model if one had both sufficient compute resources and the same training dataset. That is, if those weights are ever released at all!

IMO, while I'd rather have one part permissively licensed than nothing at all... it stinks that companies sponsoring researchers get an un-nuanced level of street cred for "open sourcing" something that they know nobody will ever be able to reproduce because their data set and/or their compute grid's optimizations are proprietary.

As it stands, I'm not at all sure that the outputs of this model can be used for commercial videos.
It is open source, just delayed.
Adobe to discontinue Creative Cloud Synced files, directs users to cloud storage
What are Synced files?

Creative Cloud has enabled personal users to save files on their local devices in a folder called Creative Cloud Files. The contents of this folder can be synced (copied) to the user's cloud storage via a process that runs on the local device.

Is there an alternative to Creative Cloud Synced files?

For Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fresco users, cloud documents are the solution for saving, sharing, and collaborating on creative work in progress.
Notes on X
I'll repeat this ask - Do you have any examples where access to a given food was limited that was _not_ super contentious? I'm honestly not aware of any examples.

> Oh your idea of “super contentious” is “got a vapid clickbait op-ed article written about it”? Gotcha.

I'm not sure why you need to attack me here.

But no, that is not quite my idea; my ideas are not really germaine. I spent long enough looking for resources and references to not rely on just my own presumptions. You have failed to present any evidence, meanwhile there are over 6 references I presented that were easily found demonstrating the vast 'contentious' aspects of limiting food.

Your own comment regarding raw-milk cheese demonstrates that exact contention. If you were totally cool with that limitation on raw-milk cheese, then presumably you would not even bring it up.

Side-note, please keep in mind where you are here and the guidelines for HN discourse.

FWIW, here is a more non-click-bait non-vapid article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_raw_milk_debate

> That pattern has held true for three of the last six years, although numbers in 2014 and 2015 were skewed somewhat by big, legitimate forfeiture cases involving huge sums of cash: the Bernie Madoff scandal, for instance.

This is a pretty big freaking caveat. If you actually look at the DOJ source, about $1 billion a year comes from low-level seizures (https://www.justice.gov/d9/pages/attachments/2020/02/09/afp_...) Almost all of the rest comes from huge white-collar busts.

The white collar seizures almost work the exact same way. Toyota was never charged with a crime over their accelerator pedal issue. But the government just seized 1.2 billion from them and kept a huge chunk of it for themselves.
I adore stories that include the phrase "that's odd" or "something odd happens when ..."

Even if we don't get the astonishing result originally claimed by the rogue paper, it's still a triumph of science in my ignorant opinion.
>80% sounds way to optimistic to me. The problem is that screen readers (and other assistive technology) have bugs and different behaviors, and some people use older versions of those tools with even more bugs and quirks. The only way to make sure that a website has a high level of accessibility is to perform manual testing in different environments.

That's if you want actual accessibility support on a wide range of old and new devices.

But the business idea the parent proposes is automated accessibility for compliance, which is the real thing that could be sold, and has a much lower bar.
> "Trust the science" is a poorly-phrased attempt to counter the persistent conspiracy theories that various science disciplines, and the scientists that work therein, are part of this or that conspiracy to reduce your freedoms, mislead the public, etc. Or the related conspiracy theory that science broadly is bullshit and that the primary motivation of any scientific study is the continued justification of funding, rather than pursuit of knowledge

Actually no. It's a purely anti science/authoritarian approach to avoid any dissent when politically convenient.

Covid policies were the perfect example and labeling/censoring instead of debating (even other scientists like those on the great Barrington declaration) shows that it's not really about science but about control.

Corruption is not a grand conspiracy but a natural thing that occurs in bureocratic institutions and, nonetheless, accusing and exposing corruption and inconsistency was a big no in anything related covid (lockdowns, mandates, censorship, etc). Freedoms WERE limited unconstitutionally and selectively but people would be telling you "my fredumbs, grandmakiller, conspiracy theorist" because they couldn't really argue except via way of appeals to authority and slogans such as trust the science.

The science wasn't one and wasn't uniform, but you couldn't even compare "sciences". You only had to take it.

Those of us who engage in science are not afraid to expose our results and hypothesis and don't need censorship.
> not too intelligent to be aligned

The thing is, being aligned cannot be solved with intelligence per se.

Say, you are (far) more intelligent than a spider. There's no way you can get aligned with (all of) its values unless the spider finds a way to let you know (all of) its values. Maybe the spider just tells you to make plenty of webs without knowing that it might get entangled in them by itself. The webs are analogous to the paperclips.

I'm not sure that fits, since it might imply it's not intentional.

I think these companies are simply, explicitly, optimizing directly for ESG, for maximum gain, without regards to the "spirit" of ESG. They're rational actors. Why wouldn't they? Just like with taxes, it would be silly to not use the loopholes.
Goodhart's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

Any ESG system that uses a calculated number composed of many areas will quickly fall prey to Goodhart's Law. With an E, an S and a G to work on, the areas for change are numerous enough that Goodhart's Law holds even in a non-cynical world.

When an edict that "We need to increase our X score this quarter" is handed down, the real, living people who have to improve the ESG rating are likely limited in what they can do. A combination of pre-existing contracts and commitments, difficulty in changing large systems and problems with multi-department co-ordination means that most changes will be small and isolated, i.e. things where one department or small team can implement the entire change.
