This is what blocked me from trying Apple Music as well. Maybe i'll give Cider a look, thanks!
This is a good point, but to extend it a bit, changing the fuel means changing the chemistry of the whole system, changing tradeoffs and thresholds, changing capabilities, all sorts. Rockets very much need to be designed around a particular fuel, it defines so much of the rest of the rocket either directly or indirectly.

> Gives you a timeline of votes so you can see changes over time and see if there are any review bomb cycles happening

And, if early, potentially game-breaking, bugs have been fixed. I've seen many games with poor initial reviews, due to performance problems, fixed in the next GPU driver release.

For a more extreme example, you have something like No Man's Sky, which is nearly a different game, which early reviews don't apply to.

Power generation comes in two classes, baseline and peaker. Baseline units are on 24/7. They are typically very efficient, but can take days or weeks to start. Peakers can turn on in minutes of notice and are usually better at following demand.

Power demand follows daily sinusoidal cycles. By having an economical consumer of electricity that can choose operation times, you can have them use power at night in order to flatten your sinusoidal demand, thus allowing a higher percentage of efficient baseline units to run instead of peakers.

I don't care whether you invest, nor do I care about corporate law. Nor, really, is corporate law at the heart of this matter! But, hey, if it shuts down opposition on forum arguments I'm sure thats an easy card to try and pull out. So let me be crystal clear, no one needs to know corporate law to comment on whether or not a YC funded startup is ripping off another startup, a startup that had previously applied to YC and was turned down! The idea that YC is in some way not responsible for the companies which would not even exist if not for the money and connections provided by YC is dishonest in the extreme. You should be embarrassed but I know you won't. In half an hour or less this comment will likely be flagged out of existence and no one will the wiser.

Crafting an Investment Portfolio Under Personal Preferences
Fair, but mostly I'm talking about how certain genres have some extremely highly rated games that simply don't have a lot going on, because of user expectations being very low. This distorts the ratings to an extent, since a 95% for an RTS is generally going to be much harder to achieve than for a hidden object game.

Jay Miner was responsible for Atari 8 bit home computers and later for the Amiga.
Certainly, there can't possibly be downsides to replacing mechanical bits with electronics that are fragile in their own ways and harder if not impossible to repair, also the batteries will make cars much heavier, the momentum that much deadlier, that damage greater and more expensive, not to mention the extreme computerization that's already reached the front page here recently regarding how much data car manufacturers and dealers collect and their inevitable attempt to milk another cash cow by moving from car ownership to car rentership.

The Rise of Generative AI and the Coming Era of Social Media Manipulation
> - undergrad: 75k average for 43 years --> 3.2m lifetime

That number isn't actually for undergrads, it's for everyone that's completed at least a bachelor's. About 1/3 of those people have a master's or higher.

Pulling from https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator/cba/annual-earnin... which does break down by educational level, those should be 1.86m vs 2.64m, for a difference of ~783k. The standard 10 year student loan would come out to $54k total, so $729k. The average person takes 21 years to pay that off though, which would bring the total to ~84k, leaving a 699k difference.

It would be worth factoring in that there's a filtering process for undergrads, and that high school is the default category. I would expect average lifetime earnings to be higher for undergrads even it was a nominal category and colleges didn't exist, because admittance is selective.

It also discounts the value of student loans. This is a little spurious, but I pulled the S&P500 returns for the past 47 years. If our highschool graduate got a $45,000 loan at 4% interest (modern value and interest) in 1975, dumped it into the S&P500 and reinvested the returns, they would have $1,573,832.60 (minus the still-outstanding $45k principle) in 2023, making their lifetime earnings 3.6m. That alone is over 50% of the undergrad's total lifetime earnings, and for doing practically nothing.

If the high school graduate invested the same proportion of their income that the undergrad spends on student debt payments, they would have $2,803,589 in 2023.

Even without reaching that far back, if one person went to college in 2018 and the other invested their $45,000@4% interest and paid $180/month into it, the college person graduates with -$45,000 and the investor has $22,619 in profit. For the same situation starting in 2003, the investor has $221,217 in profit already.
Life isn’t fair. Laws protect the broad population interest. One person’s inconvenience is someone else surviving. Regulation written in blood and whatnot.

A vocal minority will complain, this will get built into the supply chain, and a decade or two from now, only older folks will complain. For everyone else, they’ll wonder why they didn’t have them before. So it goes. Notice how much safer cars are versus decades ago.

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/21/generators-carbon-mo...

> Portable generators are one of the deadliest consumer products on the market, killing about 80 people in the U.S. each year and poisoning thousands of others.
It certainly would. However, these are centuries long plans. A path along which the local issues will be solved.
> you’re saying if the failsafe fails someone might die (presumably not common event), yet without the failsafe many people are assured to die (apparently a common enough event), so therefore we shouldn’t have the failsafe?

No, he's saying that the failsafe adds no value for the vast majority of generator users, because they take responsibility for their own actions and their consequences and learn how to properly use their portable generators. So requiring the failsafe by regulation is punishing all of the responsible adults because of a few irresponsible people. That doesn't make sense. The people who should suffer the consequences of being irresponsible are the people who are irresponsible, not everybody else.

> apparently a common enough event

1300 deaths and 77,000 injuries--over 17 years. That's not common at all; it's miniscule. From what I can gather, about 10% of households have portable generators. That's 30 million of them in the US alone.

In the same period of time, roughly 510,000 people in the US died in traffic accidents (roughly 30,000 a year times 17 years). And that's even after decades of government regulations imposing safety features on vehicles. So not only is regulation like this unfair and nonsensical, it doesn't even work. People who insist on being irresponsible will find a way to do it no matter what regulations you impose. The rest of us should not have to suffer the burden of ever-increasing regulations that don't even work.

> for each of those “not smart going to run a generator” that doesn’t kill their entire family, there will be at least someone who got a good bargain on the feature by not killing everyone in their house

This kind of reasoning does not justify a government regulation. It only counts the benefit to the miniscule number of people who can't be responsible on their own. It doesn't count the cost, both in the ever-increasing burden of regulations we all have to deal with, and the ever-increasing power we are forced to give the government on such grounds, which then gets misused in more and more ways.

I think this is a little unfair. SpaceX of 10 years ago didn’t have the same launch capacity and was not human rated, or even close to human rating.

Now the trajectory (no pun intended) of SpaceX was good back then and you might have guessed they would grow rapidly in capabilities and capacity, but it wasn’t a done deal.

I’m no fan of SLS, but it was a very understandable safe bet 10 years ago.

Haha fair question. I didn't make any special changes, I just left the lid open and put the laptop in a ventilated spot. I'm actually in the tropics, so I guess Lenovo scores some points here (the laptop is a Legion 5 Pro).
I think you would have to be an incompetent principle investigator if you sent people to space and couldn't figure out a way to maximize scientific knowledge from it. We've been doing that for decades with the ISS and the moon trips and so on.

I have no doubts - even a mars mission where you'd send people to interact with things in person and be able to react instantly and not 45 mins later with whatever the camera and sensors happen to show you.

Now, whether that scientific information is worth the cost? Hard to say. As much as people like criticizing public programs for "pork barrel" this and "bureaucrat red tape" that and whatever.... publicly funded programs are usually run with penny-pinching oversight and angry politicians wanting to get their day of glory by killing programs.

Sometimes the cost of a project goes up when a 3rd party group comes in and intervenes with "can't we do this cheaper?!" lol.

Apple also has memory-safer languages it is moving to:

Not sure what the answer is for existing memory-unsafe code.
And the whole reason for the hydrogen burning was to keep the space shuttle contractors jobs. Once again it's not a technical reason but a pork barrel one.
Yes, "the question" that I am referring to above is the currently lack of that impartial decision. Courts have yet to issue any ruling that is particularly useful for determining where the line is for the application of LLMs. I am saying that when the line for fair use is further defined in this context, it won't be predicated on which license, if any, the content has.
iMessage is E2E even without ADP, even with groups and multiple devices. The details are complex, but they are publicly documented here[1]:

The issue (I think) you are referring to is that if you enable iCloud backup[2] or iCloud for Messages[3] (both of which move effectively move the storage of the messages to the cloud, either as part of the device backup or as the canonical representation that devices sync from respectively) then the messages decoded on device will be stored in blobs that iCloud has the keys to unless you enable Advanced Data Protection.

I think what you meant to say is: the utility should not be allowed to EVER sign a contract that allows something as silly as bitcoin to preempt providing power to citizens and vital businesses. Energy isn't a commodity, it's a necessity in 2023 and should be treated as such.

I just checked and Google does have a Messages app, different from the Messages app on my phone, probably by Samsung, which deals with SMSes. According to Play it has 1B+ downloads so it's probably preinstalled.

Anyway, the competitor of iMessage and Messages is WhatsApp. Nobody is sending me SMSes except banks so even iPhone users use WhatsApp to send messages to friends and to groups in my country. If somebody would insist using only iMessage they would be out of the loop. And about Messages, well, I don't have that app, I receive no SMSes, I still communicate with everybody so I guess that nobody uses Messages too.

Just need to reduce the solar incidence, not eliminate it.

The same technology could be used to reduce gw on the earth:

1. an orbiting sunshade

2. putting something in the atmosphere that makes it more reflective, like sulfur dioxide

I wonder how big a sunshade would need to be to reduce temps by, say, one degree. A specific location could be shaded by putting the shade in geosynchronous orbit. To finance the sunshade, put a Starbucks or Coca-Cola logo on it.

Honestly, that's like asking for a source for the fact that people need oxygen to live. Fuck, they weren't even allowed to finally correct the design flaw in the solid rocket boosters that was the direct cause of the Challenger disaster – namely the fact that they were made of several segments not for any engineering reason but simply because they were manufactured in Utah (due to pork barrel) and could not be transported to Florida in one piece.

For twenty years now they have tried to build a launcher based on recycling as many ~parts~jobs from the Shuttle program as possible and thus far have flown exactly zero people and exactly zero kilograms of cargo. The Senate doesn't mind, because the STS is a jobs program, not a spaceflight program. (Although it's not like the market for SRBs in particular has been very hot lately given how few of them have been in fact launched, so I dunno. Probably the govt is paying ATK just to keep the plant running so they'll be able to build/refurbish a pair of boosters every two or three years which is the expected STS launch rate.)

At a certain point the public becomes accustomed to it so the lawmakers just cave in to the demand.

Interesting how your response makes it seem like the person you're responding to mentioned android at all.
> Consider merging onto a highway. At some point you merge ahead of a car, and at some point you merge behind a car. There is some epsilon around around this point where you lack the perfect behaviour to make the objectively correct decision due to limited human processing capacity. Suppose an accident occurs, then subjectively both yous feel you did the moral thing. Is someone at fault, yes, the person who was within epsilon wrong. Pragmatically you may say no one was at fault, accidents happen. At which point the question becomes how big is an acceptable epsilon. And so on and so on, more questions upon questions. Which need to have answers, which provoke disagreement. Which is why I say you are right in a vacuum, but we don't exist in a vacuum.

I understand your example - I don't know that I have a clear answer - at any rate let us accept that there is an ambiguity there. How does the current system help resolve this?

Perhaps you will say there are laws, judges, etc that will do it. In which case, it would be surely be possible to find a solution without that system, by simply finding someone acceptable to both parties to arbitrate, no?

I certainly don't think like is deterministic - not sure why you're bring that into it.

One can certainly choose a hedonic lifestyle ("morals be damned"). Or one can choose to uncover and learn about oneself more deeply. Or something else. For me, there's only one path that has value of meaning personally. But, even the hedonist that can apply reason, ought to be able to agree that initiating harm is a wrong, not a right.
