I think humans have lived with it every day ever since the first human picked up a rock and told someone else what to do or else. The point is an orderly use of power according to the law. These events do seem fairly far outside the norm in America, otherwise it wouldn’t be a top story on HN or anywhere else. It would be common life.

There are many place on earth where writing such a story is itself a crime because it’s illegal to criticize the government in any way.

While the American law enforcement system is broken in a systemic and fundamental way, and there are better places, and there are worse places, there is at least a system of laws that often provides relief and redress - but most importantly there exists avenues to fix the system over time and the open ability to advocate loudly for a restructuring of the government and its powers. This is a blessing in every society that has it, including in America.
To be superscalar, a processor must initiate multiple instructions per clock cycle. Having multiple functional units isn't sufficient to be superscalar if one instruction is dispatched at a time. You get higher performance from the multiple functional units since the next instruction isn't blocked while the previous one is executing.

According to "Modern Processor Design: Fundamentals of Superscalar Processors", the CDC 6600 was not superscalar because it had scalar instruction issue. This book says the IBM Advanced Computer system was the first superscalar design, but the project was canceled.

I wouldn't consider little-endian "quirky" --- it's the most logical way to do it, since the significance increases with increasing address. AFAIK all arbitrary-precision arithmetic routines use little-endian ordering even on big-endian machines for this reason, as big-endian requires lots of length-dependent terms in calculation.

When the 8086 was released, these registers were renamed to AX, CX, DX, and BX respectively.

It's worth noting that NEC produced the V25/V35, which were basically binary compatible (with some extensions) to the 8086, and presumably to avoid legal issues (which happened anyway), they renamed the instructions and registers; instead of AX CX DX BX SP BP SI DI, they used AW CW DW BW SP BP IX IY --- the latter two reminiscent of the Z80.

Someone else mentioned needing to remove 10 billion tons by 2050. That is 1000 sq mi, which is size of Luxembourg. That is doable but have to do every year. My guess is that we’ll run out of good forest spots. Or climate change will kill all the trees.

Please refrain from being nasty to people going out of their way to answer your question. Any longtime English speaker is qualified to make observations about what is happening in their linguistic community. They went the extra mile to quantify it for you (in a community other than HN, in direct response to your question). You are free to choose how much weight you assign to their observation, and it's fine if it differs from your experience, but it's uncalled for to ask "what they're smoking."

Yep! The first tech job I ever had was at a hyper local marketing agency, so most of my time was spent updating restaurant menus and sales for little local stores.

The restaurant menus would always reach into insane levels of hierarchy, mostly because many of them made way too many things. Sometimes you need the:

Restaurant -> Menu -> Antipasti -> For Groups -> Fried -> Cheesy

hierarchy to feature the mozza sticks and arancini correctly.

I think there are a few possible outcomes of an attempt to standardize how computers deal with names.

- Every programming language, database, etc implements something, but overall they’re not the same solution, leaving us mostly where we are today.

- Some computer standard emerges, but fails because it’s not flexible enough for all the business and cultural needs, leaving us mostly where we are today.

- Some computer standard emerges, is good enough for most needs, but leaves people bitter because it leads to yet more cultural standardization in a world already suffering from cultural globalization.

I’m inherently skeptical of all change, I suppose, and my belief is we’ll just muddle along forever.
I used Fedora on my last laptop, really enjoyed it, it does adopt the bleeding edge quickly though. E.g., the default files filesystem was Btrfs, and no X just Wayland.

But it was really stable, I think I only hit one issue that was fixed within a week or so. Guess it's a benefit of Red Hat's "patch upstream first" philosophy.

That is a reasonable design decision for a small fleet of test vehicles. It is not reasonable for a large fleet of production vehicles. Causing massive traffic disruptions is a safety hazard in itself, and these companies should not be allowed to scale up their fleet as large as they have until the rate of vehicle stalls is on par with normal car breakdown rates.

It sounds to me, and I mean this quite objectively, not as a personal insult, that you're attracted to the email-based flow not because it is better, but because you just don't want to use a web UI. So since you define web UI as bad, you of course reach the conclusion that the email-based flow is better.

Rockstar hires a team of modders it had previously banned from playing GTA 5
I've worked at all different kinds of companies, and I don't think this is the way it works at well managed startups.

The model I've seen at startups is an approximately two-year cycle of 1. raise money against a couple year plan of milestones, 2. hire quickly on the back of that raise, 3. use that personnel growth to hit those milestones, 4. go back to 1.

Importantly, the large bulk of the hiring happens around those post-raise points, when there is a couple years of runway. And the idea of startups is to be ambitious and forward-looking, not myopically churning on short term features.

I would submit that it's even more important for startups to be focused on investing in the right team during those scale-up periods, because many of those people are going to be the leaders during the next round. You want people who are going to be strong stewards of your business as it grows, not just people who see themselves as "react devs" or whatever.

> I suspect they will also pursue a criminal or civil case on the basis of harassment of journalists doing protected work based on a false identity theft assertion to justify avoiding the legal requirement to issue a subpoena rather than a warrant. The co-owners death won’t be a material fact in that sort of case but I’m sure would be mentioned to sharpen the case.

The death would absolutely be relevant in a criminal case (e.g., under the applicable federal statute matching the described conspiracy against protected conduct, it changes the maximum penalty from ten years to death or life in prison), in a civil case, it may also be relevant, as it would likely be among the harms forming the basis for damages. (It may even be the basis of the tort, e.g., if pursued as wrongful death, where the part you describe is the “wrongful” part.)
The accounting scandal was the proximate cause, but I think the underlying issue was Moore's Law. I've examined the performance of Datapoint's TTL-based computers vs microprocessors. In 1972, the 2200 V2 was over 6 times as fast as the 8008. The Datapoint 5500 (1973) was significantly faster than the 8080 (1974). The Z80 (1976) was slightly faster than the Datapoint 6600 (1977). The 8086 (1978) was about twice as fast and Datapoint never managed to catch up. Datapoint tried to pivot to Intel processors, but then they were competing against commodity PCs. Datapoint suffered a hostile takeover in 1984 but didn't go bankrupt until years later in 2000.

The point is that Datapoint's TTL-based approach was great in the early 1970s but couldn't keep up with the exponential improvements in microprocessors.
That's correct, at some point magic license "xUSSR регистрация" (ex-USSR registration) allowed you to register for free. Quoting from memory, the exact text may have been slightly different. The idea was to let people from former Soviet Union use the fully-featured version without paying shareware price they generally could not afford back then.

The US has federal law enforcement, and local law enforcement conspiracies against Constitutionally protected activity are within their jurisdiction, so this description is wrong, both in general and as specifically relevant to the situation at hand.

No such statute exist, I think you are misremembering, badly, the judge made (not statutory) qualified immunity doctrine, which applies to civil liability only for offenses without clear precedent establishing them as violations of rights.

I would argue this is why all journalists should have their work processes in a major cloud provider with key management and audit services enabled.

Once upon a time I built one of the major providers sensitive data services, and a typical artifact of a warrant for a cloud provider is a stipulation the warrant discovery be done without alerting the customer to the search. By encrypting your data with a key management service and enabling the providers audit services (aka cloudtrail) it is impossible by design to execute the warrant without the customer receiving audit trail information about the providers access of the keys and the data service. In theory the provider could make back doors, but the law actually is on their side in that they are not required to take extraordinary measures that materially impacts their business to circumvent controls.

Further there is no physical seizure possible.

I know most small newspapers this is beyond their technical ability or understanding. I challenge this community, maybe there should be an OSS cloud deployable journalism platform with strong security, information resiliency, and defense in depth and breadth against the state.
Labor costs are a huge part of that, and Seattle housing is pretty cheap quality considering that our weather is mellow (townhomes they put up now to sell for $1m would have been fairly affordable 20 years ago, but these developers are barely breaking even because of a labor shortage). Seriously, nothing in them would be considered luxury except maybe the bathroom with a full size shower.

I'm suspicious that the numbers might be still out of date.

Assume that total propellant mass is a constant (limited by the launch vehicle) and temperature is a constant (because melting the rocket would be bad.)

With constant mass, you increase the total momentum by increasing the exhaust velocity. With constant temperature, you increase the exhaust velocity by making the molecules smaller.
I'm not an expert by any means, but here's the gist of my understanding of the statin controversy from reading Metabolical:

- There's two types of LDL cholesterol that are measured together in a standard fasting lipid profile: type A LDL and type B LDL

- Type A LDL makes up 80% of LDL and is increased by dietary fat consumption

- Type A LDL is not predictive of heart disease nor does it drive the accumulation of plaque in the arteries

- Type A LDL is lowered by statins

- Type B LDL makes up 20% of LDL and is predictive of heart attacks

- Type B LDL is not lowered by statins

- Taking statins comes with a bunch of side effects

- Selling statins has been a lucrative business

That’s a retcon ginned up in the 20th century to assimilate Irish and Italian immigrants. The US was established by colonizers and settlers and enslaved people, not immigrants. Colonizers and settlers displace an existing population and create a new society in that place. In 1790, over 90% of the white American population was British ancestry. My wife’s family, which populated Oregon in the 1800s, were settlers, not immigrants. My family, which came to Virginia in the 1980s, are immigrants. It’s an important distinction.

Much of the immigration of the 1800s was similarly settlement, as German and Northern European immigrants pushed west along with British settlers and established their own communities there. Mass immigration in the modern sense, such as Italian immigration to existing communities, happened long after the nation was established.

Do you have any proof of what you said?

The GP has given evidence of some instances where people who claim to be scientists obstruct the investigation of truth.

You merely gave an assertion. Appeal to emotion.

Isn't there a possibility that we are much more ignorant than we thought, the scientific process much worse than you'd thought, and the instances in which we "eventually" realized the truth are just the tip of an iceberg, of which those cases merely reflect survivorship bias, and that there are many more cases in which the truth never came to light?

You have to be an extreme optimist to look at the history of science to claim that there is a "beauty" in the persecution of those who seek truth, only because eventually in a couple of cases, the truth was eventually discovered. Perhaps there is a beauty eventually, but are you seriously going to say to those people who have lost their reputation and job that it's "beautiful" that the system is doing that to them, because maybe in a couple decades they would be vindicated assuming they aren't already forgotten?

This attitude is really sick, and honestly, a bit psychopathic.
I’m a different person, but maybe I can help clarify.

> I'm saying theology doesn't study anything real. It doesn't have the tools to determine whether a god exists, because it doesn't study reality, it studies scripture.

This paragraph, especially the italicized portion, implies the statement “scripture isn’t real”.

That can be taken a few different ways. One is that scripture doesn’t exist. Obviously that’s not true, so probably not what you meant.

The other is that scripture is fiction or wrong or made up or not representative of reality or something in this general sphere of belief. Your clarifications, like mentioning Harry Potter, show that this is what you meant.

Stating that scripture is fiction is a viewpoint. You’re not even describing just Christian theology but theology in general. So you’re putting out that every claim that some text was divinely inspired is false. I’m not arguing with you on this, just saying it’s a viewpoint you’re putting out.

I don’t think you mentioned it explicitly, but theologians also study more than scripture. So to say theologians don’t study reality is to also say this is t real (although you didn’t say that explicitly).

This all adds up to you taking some position, having some viewpoint in the realm of metaphysics, ontology, theology, etc. You’re saying some things are and are not true about god, like the holy bible is not truth based on reality.
