Corporations under a board and a CEO staffed by hired labor have very little in common with worker-co-ops and workplace democracy. My point is that a person competent enough to successfully run a business will almost certainly do so solo. The value-add of worker co-ops is moot if you already have the knowledge and capacity to run and staff a business, whereas the drawbacks and risk are monumental.

I've been in and started several worker cooperative businesses. I don't try to do it anymore because of what I perceive as a fundamental issue: the people that are the most explicitly attracted to worker co-ops are also the least business saavy or willing to put the business's existence ahead of ideological values. In my experience, it is a recipe for almost certain failure.

In the same way that anarchists point to Revolutionary Catalonia, workplace socialists point toward Mondragon, ignoring that these are both statistical aberrations rather than the normal state of affairs. The normal state of affairs is a bunch of naive ideologues that hand-wave away planning critical details. This isn't unique to worker co-ops; founders do it all the time, but the difference is that new ventures require flexibility and leanness, but worker-co-ops are exceptionally rigid and fragile.

Generally if worker co-ops "succeed" it's directly because they are being subsidized by similar ideologues rather than business efficiency. The actual product they sell is good feelings rather than products or services.
Yeah I don't think it's so much "we explicitly rely on this behavior, how dare you change this" as "somewhere in our mountains of maintenance-mode code that haven't seen the sun shine through an editor window in years, this behavior cancels out another bug that we never noticed". Tooling should be able to detect when code relies on this, but it's still gonna cost some non-zero amount of developer effort to touch ancient code and safely roll out a new version if it needs to be actively addressed.

>What kind of assets?

If the U.S. were a private business, standard accounting would count all the federally-owned land (from national parks to post offices), buildings, machinery, vehicles/boats/airplanes, and intangibles such as national databases and various intellectual properties. The valuation of many of these assets starts with what they cost to acquire or create, in some cases decreased by depreciation (but not land).

After all, in the past countries such as France and Russia sold huge tracts of land to the U.S. Why someday couldn't the U.S. sell some land, to convert an illiquid asset into a liquid one if necessary?

> ut there's also the general publication bias against replication studies - who wants to read them, and who wants to do them (they're not usually seen as prestigious academically: most academics want to test their ideas, not those of others.

Academia seems like the idea place for this. Why not require a certain number of replicated studies in order to get a degree? Universities could then be constantly churning out replication studies.

More importantly, why do we bother taking anything that hasn't been replicated seriously? Anyone who publishes a paper that hasn't been verified shouldn't get any kind of meaningful recognition or "credit" for their discovery until it's been independently confirmed.

Since anyone can publish trash, having your work validated should be the only means of gaining prestige in your career.

AFAIK, there aren't any. There isn't any standard for voltage. There isn't much demand or advantage for DC in the home. There might be slight efficiency gain but have to replace all of your appliances. Appliances which don't exist.

There are a bunch of DC power connectors but they are mainly for connecting cables and for low voltage. Powerpole is my favorite since genderless and maintains polarity, but can pull out.

Boats, RVs, and off grid homes mostly use 12V DC. There are some that are using 48V for efficiency and higher power appliances. My understanding is that everything is hardwired. Lots have inverters and AC plugs.

"innocent until proven guilty" only applies in a court of law. Similar to when people cite the 1st amendment in situations where a private company is taking action, this phrase is meaningless here. A private company can do what it wants within the bounds of the law.
YouTube isn’t the internet… it’s Google.
Quite the opposite. The bar for depriving someone of their freedom through force of law should be very high. Sure, the ideal is that all actual criminals are convicted, and all innocent people are acquitted (or aren't even charged in the first place). But until we have a magical system that can achieve perfection, I would much rather the occasional criminal goes free than an innocent person has their life ruined.

If the prosecution fails to make their case, either through incompetence, or simply being outwitted by the defense, that's life. That's how the system as a whole should function. That is rule of law.

> Build123d is a python-based, parametric, boundary representation (BREP) modeling framework for 2D and 3D CAD. It's built on the Open Cascade geometric kernel and allows for the creation of complex models using a simple and intuitive python syntax. Build123d can be used to create models for 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and other manufacturing processes. Models can be exported to a wide variety of popular CAD tools such as FreeCAD and SolidWorks.

> Build123d could be considered as an evolution of CadQuery where the somewhat restrictive Fluent API (method chaining) is replaced with stateful context managers - e.g. with blocks - thus enabling the full python toolbox: for loops, references to objects, object sorting and filtering, etc

BEAM (Erlang) uses something similar for process memory; a process gets a chunk of memory, heap grows up, stack grows down; when they meet, trigger GC, and if that doesn't reclaim enough, allocate a larger chunk of memory. More details if you're interested [1]. In general, I'd think anywhere that the combined size of two allocators should be a consideration, one going up and one going down would make a lot of sense.

These are two separate things. The gov only affects private companies by regulating. It cannot negotiate benefits with the union or the private company. It is the neutral third party.

With public unions, the gov is both sides of the discussion and the mediator. There is no unbiased party in the negotiation, and seemingly no incentive to vote out pro union officials. I cannot understand why.

I guess, how did you want the HIV/AIDS experience to inform the COVID response? I don't want to defend Trump and his bleach-injection suggestions etc, but we did:

- develop vaccines at a really rapid pace (it's too bad they aren't more effective)

- learn a lot about how to treat COVID

- shut down broad categories of activity which would have contributed to spread

- gave everyone free vaccines and tests (I think this is the only 'free for everyone' health care I've seen in my life)

Trump _wasn't_ able to ignore the crisis the way Reagan did for years.

But we landed at a place where the vaccines help but don't offer good immunity from infection, and where many people are more comfortable getting infected repeatedly than they are cutting out shared space and public events. It's not clear to me what lessons we're supposed to draw from the HIV/AIDS experience now. Do you think that a generation of people should have fastidious habits around mask use?

By contrast, with HIV/AIDS, 'taking it seriously' in the 90s meant doing research, and messaging about being paranoid about sex and drugs. Most people did not need to disrupt their lives. And frankly, they could watch a TV special about the crisis, victim-blame quietly, and cheaply virtue-signal by talking about how important it all was. But if slowing down HIV/AIDS transmission had required that most people inconvenience themselves, or behave differently for even a week, I think the story would have been very different.

Agreed. PDF for CAD has its place, but its place is shop drawings read by humans, not as a machine interchange format. Many laser cutters will accept other vector formats, like DXF, which do have precise representation for circles.

What do you mean? The VBox VESA BIOS is buggy? (There's not much else in a "VESA implementation") I really don't think that's the case. It is a bit slower than VMware, but never felt ridiculously so. And definitely qemu feels slower, and IMHO has a much worse and less compatible implementation (yes, the VBox BIOS forks from qemu, but at a point where qemu cared a bit more about retro-compatibility than nowadays). At worst I'd argue they are practically the same implementation.

> But the point stands that a non-accelerated video option will perform worse than an accelerated one for all VMs for anything but the simplest of blitting pipelines.

That's why I put the example that Haiku on a completely not accelerated framebuffer performs miles better than Windows 11 on an accelerated 2 year old GPU. The GUI parts only, of course. Try it. It's just insane difference. And yes I do have 5k screens..

For 9x, even if it actually supported 2D acceleration, newer cards seem to do a terrible job at it.

You can bump upwards without an overflow check even if the size is variable.

I’ve seen multiple ways to do it. And I’ve lost days of my life to coming up with pointlessly amusing variants that get there in weird ways.

Yeah I’m also amused that they didn’t get into the fact that downward bump is just not what the HW expects you to do. You’d need a real benchmark to see that effect. And, it’s an open question whether this would matter unless your allocation rate was obscene (if it isn’t then most scans of memory will be normal loops and not the allocator).
Well, true.. the Hash_DRBG hashing algorithm remains. But it's rather likely that previous FIPS validations occurred utilizing the actual backdoored and deprecated algorithm as an input to the Hash_DRBG, rendering it's security properties suspect.

In NIST SP 800-90A Rev. 1, the HASH_DRBG section has been significantly updated to that effect.

For instance, Appendix E: (Informative) Revisions.

Section 10: Section 10 now includes a link to the DRBG test vectors on the NIST website. Sections 10.1, 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 now include short discussions about selecting hash functions to support the DRBG's intended security strength.
The Dual_EC_DRBG has been removed, and section numbers adjusted accordingly.
Except, there is limited evidence that Herpes causes infertility in women while the other two definitely cause female infertility. I'd say the other two are worse since they often go undetected in women until the damage is already done.

Well furthering wealth is the reason why tech companies exist. The incentives in academia are completely different. You might be right, but i see no reason to expect similar behavior across such drastically different situations.

There are things "on" the lot and things "around" the lot.

An empty lot the right size to build a condo in front of a subway station is significantly more valuable than an otherwise identical lot 5km away from the closest subway station.

A consequence is that what is built around you becomes the main factor in how many taxes you pay.

Which is ok since what is build around you is also the main factor of how much value you can extract from the land you own.

> Maybe you should take it up with the proponents of Georgism who use that term?

the term is perfectly adeguate, for a given piece of land (like a lot you can build a condo on) you consider its value before any improvement ON it.

The main conflict seems to be about either considering gigantic pieces of land or considering improvement that are not ON the piece of land but around it.

For context[1]:

> A land value tax (LVT) is a levy on the value of land without regard to buildings, personal property and other improvements upon it.

“Innocent until proven guilty” is an incredibly high burden of proof that we reserve for criminal trials. In other contexts, this is not the appropriate standard —- civil suits, for example, use a “preponderance of evidence” standard.

The central defining quality of Google search was that they didn't do that. That's what that quote refers to. Google wasn't the first search engine. It wasn't the best, at least not initially. But Google, the first decade, refused to destroy it's own relevance for a buck, and all the others did. From Yahoo to Altavista.

It now appears it was a delay tactic. 2-3 ads on the side, next to 10-20 "organic" search results, like Google in 2005, was great and nice. And it's certainly true that occasionally the ads were useful. The ads, like the search results, were high quality.

Now Google barely has one organic search result visible. I just checked for the search "credit card", which I know is bad, but ... The first organic search result is the fifth, with only 2 results actually visible when you do the search, both "sponsored". 3 and 4, not on the first page, are sponsored too. And if you don't want commercial search results for that search (excluding wikipedia that seems to get very special treatment) the first organic result, the first result not trying to get you to put yourself into debt ... well, I gave up after scrolling though at least 20 pages. It just isn't there anymore.

Hell, it isn't even that long ago that in-line ads were on the first page of Google ... now they take up 80% of the space on every page of Google results. So organic results have been banned from the 2nd page to at least the 21st page or so. There's no more point to "Googling".

Google now really does look like Yahoo looked in 2000. And last year they did layoffs, just like yahoo. What I don't understand is how investors fool themselves into believing the stock price won't do the exact same thing. 5-10 more years and Google gets sold to Verizon for 10 billion. And why? Because no manager at Google will risk their career on getting 1% less out of their customers than they did last quarter ... and they do that like everyone else: by accepting every last dollar every last scummy advertiser makes to Google.
No. Those are political and diplomatic considerations and not legal considerations. Pressuring countries to adopt treaties and comply with American law is a diplomatic and political act and it is ultimately up to the governments in question to apply these laws (there are plenty of examples where countries reject American law). But regardless, this is an extralegal practice and Congress does not pass laws under the assumption that they will have global application. The Indian law in question is a law that applies everywhere regardless of jurisdiction and the Canadian government was never even notified that a
foreign power was attempting to regulate its media. It would be like if C-18 applied to links in India.

> So has the internet completely done away with innocent until proven guilty?

Yes. But to be fair it wouldn't be out of character for Russel, if you actually know who he is, so maybe that's why the internet finds it so easy to ignore silly things like "evidence" and "proof".
Just extend the saying with "for this". "The man deserves a lot of praise and respect for this." This is also how parents are supposed to raise the children too, not judging the person, but the actions. And I think we need that kind of feedback later in life too, not just in childhood.
