Price discovery was brought up, but think about it this way - if Good A is plentiful in Market A and scarce in Market B - prices will be very high in B but cheap in A.

Robber Baron Capitalist comes in and says "hey wait a minute, there's money to be made!"

He starts buying goods in A, then selling them in B.

This is a very, very stupid idea, your 5 year old could have it. So that means as soon as Business A figures it out, B , D, E, and F aren't far behind.

The net for people in Market B is that now they don't pay the previous scarce price, but something closer to Market As, and more people can afford the good. This means that someone does all the work of building out all that logistics for us, simply to exploit the price differential.

The POSIX standard definitely has something to do with C standards:

> Parts of the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard (hereinafter referred to as the ISO C standard) are referenced to describe requirements also mandated by this volume of POSIX.1-2017. Some functions and headers included within this volume of POSIX.1-2017 have a version in the ISO C standard; in this case CX markings are added as appropriate to show where the ISO C standard has been extended (see Codes). Any conflict between this volume of POSIX.1-2017 and the ISO C standard is unintentional.

For those who are curious about Just Intonation but who are more of a casual listener and find the usual examples either way too experimental or academic, Neurogenesis by Robert Rich is a great and immensely pleasant-sounding, relaxing electronic ambient album masterfully written in pure JI (I really think it lends itself to the genre).

As a nice touch, you can listen to it before you buy—which I did (and I did): https://robertrich.bandcamp.com/album/neurogenesis
Why Search Orgs Fail
Here is one way of looking at it: statistical mechanics introduced the concept of entropy.

Years ago, in school, the physics teacher gave the following vivid demonstration:

The demonstration involved two beakers, stacked, the openings facing each other, initially a sheet of thin cardboard separated the two.

In the bottom beaker a quantity of Nitrogen dioxide gas had been had been added. The brown color of the gas was clearly visible. The top beaker was filled with plain air, so it was colorless.

Nitrogen dioxide is denser than air. If the gases would not mix then all of the Nitrogen dioxide would stay in the bottom beaker. But of course the two do mix.

When the separator was removed we saw the brown color of the Nitrogen dioxide rise to the top. In less than half a minute the combined space was an even brown color.

And then the teacher explained the significance: in the process of filling the entire space the heavier Nitrogen dioxide molecules had displaced lighter molecules. That is: a significant part of the population of Nitrogen dioxide had moved against the pull of gravity. This move against gravity is probability driven.

Statistical mechanics provides the means to treat this process quantitatively. You quantify by counting numbers of states. Mixed states outnumber separated states - by far.

The climbing of the Nitrogen dioxide molecules goes at the expense of the temperature of the combined gases. That is, if you make sure that in the initial state the temperature in the two compartments is the same then you can compare the final temperature with that. The temperature of the final mixture will be a bit lower than the starting temperature. That is, some kinetic energy has been converted to gravitational potential energy.

So in this particular demonstration probability was acting in a direction opposite to gravity, and overall probability had the upper hand.

Probability effects fall in the category of emergent phenomena. An emergent phenomenon is somewhat of an in-between category. Not quite as fundamental as the law of gravity, but there is no denying that it has an existence of its own.
Accusation is all it takes nowadays.

Guess What Happened 7 Days After Our Product Hunt Launch?
7 days after our Product Hunt launch, the excitement hasn't waned. We're thrilled to announce that we've secured our very first enterprise client!

This milestone not only validates our vision but also reinforces our commitment to delivering unparalleled service and innovation. As we celebrate this achievement, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our supportive community and dedicated team.

The journey has just begun, and with partners like our new enterprise client on board, the future looks incredibly promising.

Here's to many more milestones and continued growth!
The value lies in the fact that we already have a lot of infrastructure (including storage) that uses propane.

By switching from fossil propane to this green propane we can indirectly 'electrify' entire swaths of energy consumption.

It's scary to me how good this is. Because if it works, we can effectively continue as normal. Which is not to be expected, and might cause us to slack off since the pressure is gone.

Well that's a weakness inherent to microblogging, some people like it evidently (as seen by the success of Twitter). I don't and only got a Mastodon account because I need it to follow some work I'm interested in, and indeed I need to ignore posts I don't care about.

Following and ignoring tags helps, but it's not perfect. But it works better than on Twitter.
That's partially incorrect.

The logo was checked in its entirety, not just the checksum, but the gameboy would read it twice: first to show it and then a second time to check for its integrity (and if it failed, the console halted). This meant you could display a custom logo and then return the unmodified logo to the console's firmware so it wouldn't halt.

I think the entire defense relied not on whether you could show the nintendo logo on boot but on whether you could embed it into your ROM. It's the same as Sega's TMSS https://segaretro.org/TradeMark_Security_System#Purpose
Just because those companies have certifications it doesn’t mean they can’t make a mistake.

In addition to that, the source code is closed and not generally auditable by third parties.

I was a student under Diego Aranha (a cryptography researcher from Brazil, now based in Denmark) many years ago when he got the chance to participate in the public test/audit of the voting system software.

At the time they did find issues with the code that would allow you to de-anonimize the votes cast in a voting machine [1].

Your Luddite take is profoundly wrong, and has been consistently proven wrong at every single technological turn in history. We have more robots than even today, and yet a labor SHORTAGE.

Eliminating the tedious and dangerous task of driving is an enormous benefit to humanity that will save 30,000+ lives a year in the US alone. We will end the misery caused to millions from injury and tragedy, and the billions of dollars lost. We can rethink our cities and move parking to the periphery. New jobs will emerge to replace long distance trucking and taxi driver (two jobs that didn't really exist just 100 years ago). Humanity will benefit.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that when cooking recipes from old cookbooks, you need to adjust the recipe to take into account the differences in modern ingredients. Specifically, I think it's that modern eggs are a lot bigger than they used to be 50,60, or 70 years ago.

Ah! Now I get it. That rhymes with companies like Shell and Unilever leaving the EU in favour of UK after brexit.

(Not that Frankfurt, Milan, Amsterdam or Paris are known to be heavy investors in tech innovation, btw.)
Goes all the way back to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures and beyond.

The UK has a great engineering tradition, especially from the Victorian and Empire eras, all the way up to WW2, but it seems that after that there was a dramatic and incredibly short sighted turn to economisation and avoiding investment.

The absolute poster child for this was the UK space programme, which was cancelled just before the launch of its first rocket. The director of the programme decided to defy orders and launch anyway, on the grounds that everything was ready and he was in Australia. But this pervades everything. The TBMs for Euston HS2 have been bought, but are going to spend the next year buried doing nothing, because there's a persistent desire to cancel HS2 after most of the work has been done but before any of the benefits are gained.

Concorde somehow escaped cancellation multiple times. The UK developed its own nuclear reactor technology (Magnox) then gave up and let Electricite de France run everything.

I've heard this complaint from several people in Cambridge's "startup" industry too. There are hardly any angel investors. The amounts of money available are tiny. Got an idea? Tough, you'll have to develop it in your own literal garden shed at your own expense. The local capital owners are far more interested in property, which doesn't require any thinking.

I would go even further and say there are no villains or heroes, real or imagined. It's just people with conflicting interests willing to go all the way to achieve theirs. That is my understanding of history.

The only objective difference I can find is what you called "factually wrong about the universe". That is the difference between not only Hitler and any allied commander, but between Hitler and Genghis Khan. One had a good model about the world he was living in and because of that was successful, the other not.

More accurately, the evidence being (solely) testimony.

> ...this also forces things like small farmers and retailers being unprofitable...

Nobody is "forced" to be unprofitable. If a business is unprofitable it can shut down. You're putting half the no-win argument - when Amazon makes a big profit people complain they are too powerful. When they don't make a big profit, this is an argument that they've squeezed the supply chain too much. There is a tiny line here that is theoretically acceptable, and I doubt either side of the no-win argument agrees where it is.

And this isn't what is driving the consolidation, the monopolisation is probably being driven by credit. Big players get much sweeter deals when dipping into the pool of printed money. If credit was not the driving force then it'd be much less common to see big conglomerates and small nimble players would have an easier time. Like how in housing credit booms tends to put smaller buyers in a worse position because they only end up living in about the same house as they already would have managed anyway but they have to sign away more of their life to get it.

I met my wife, and most of my closest friends at dances like this article describes.

The Scottish Ceilidh, the Irish Ceili and the many Platford and Regency style balls hosted by folk clubs and dance groups keep these very much alive.

When I travel I always take my dance shoes and find local groups to drop in on and am always welcomed with literal open arms.

Sadly in my 40s I am one of the younger attendees of these events. Which is a tragedy for those of us who already love the culture and those who will never experience it.
And Matrix is currently too heavy to self-host which means relying on Matrix.org (who also controls the spec).

I don't care about the ethics here because the ad companies, the parasites they are, don't give a shit about ethics. They track every single possible thing there is to track about a person and sell that information to anyone with a couple of bucks to spend.

Funnily enough, of all websites out there one of the best is still 4chan when it comes to ads. They have 2 banners, one at the top of the page, one at the very bottom of the page. These are static banners, at most a gif, with no tracking pixels or fingerprinting capabilities or any other similar form of horrid, unethical behavior. No embedded ads masquerading as regular content, nothing that blocks interaction on the page, just simple banners that target the site's particular niche like anime or cheap junk from Japan.

But as long as websites aren't using this model of ads and are instead opting for something disgusting like https://fingerprint.com then you won't see an iota of sympathy or care for "ethical" behavior from me.

I don't agree with your definition at all.

2 people want to kill each other. The one taking the first step is the intelligent one because according to your definition he was better at predicting an outcome than his opponent.

The real world is more complex than that and there are multiple options where both survive, or letting your opponent live and killing yourself because his life is more beneficial to humanity and so on.

Any organism can survive, but for most (including us) that implies a selfish outlook but the most intelligent people I know or heard of never even consider their own ego.
I suppose the goal of your message was to assert the security of the country's voting system.

I think it's naive to think that any digital system is secure. What we try to do is to make hacking not worthwhile by raising the difficulty level.

But when it comes to an entire country, especially the size and regional relevance of Brazil, the stakes are so high that it becomes too attractive to not hack.

I wouldn't be worried about Bolsonaro or Lula hacking it. I'd be worried about the US, China, Russia, Israel, North Korea. They all possess the ability to hack Brazilian elections. From distance, they don't even have to go there. And they all have a history of systematically interfering in other countries' internal matters.
Musk is one of the only individuals in the world that actively tries to solve real problems. And people hate him for it.

Those sorts of types fail the second requirement. The members are not trivially copyable on their own because they contain tremendous structure that may only be discernible at the top level.

Well ok, the two standards are overlapping where it makes sense, I stand corrected there.

But nothing prevents me from writing C or C++ programs on Windows which don't have a single POSIX (or even libc call) in them, but exclusively use Windows system DLL calls - and those are still entirely valid C or C++ programs (although I'm aware that the situation is muddy for some libc calls which some compilers treat like builtins, e.g. memset and memcpy).

I'm not an accountant, but I think I'm referring to gross profit margin [1], which is revenue minus cost of goods sold (which is small for an IP licensing company, any company that actually sells hardware will be a fraction of that).

I think your math refers to operating margin, that's after they subtract all the operating overheads which are fixed, and not proportional to sales volume. In other words a 96% gross margin means they have virtually no friction to increasing sales.

Compare to Intel statement [2], they have a 35.8% gross margin and a negative operating margin this year, which would be the apples to apples comparison against 96% gross margin and 19.6% operating margin in the F1.

My read on the income line is they do a good job of 'spending money', but they are signaling that can be turned into things like dividends to shareholders once they IPO, perhaps by doing short sighted things like cutting R&D expenses and/or accounting tricks.

Yeah, people sensitive to technology (and I guess there's a fair share of those on HN) find these things fascinating. Or things that are even more commonplace, like airplanes - that it's really possible to transport millions of people around the world with this speed and reliability is also fascinating if you think about it. But most people just complain about the lack of legroom and the bad food - and would probably do the same on a flight to the Moon too if those would become commonplace enough...
