> Reading your answers, I've noticed that there appear to be some major misconceptions about Yosys and how it works

Indeed I opted to go with vivado instead of yosys (so i'm not an expert) but you're being a little disingenuous; there are absolutely places where yosys is explicitly, manifestly, being used as a scripting harness - you literally have ScriptPass

https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/blob/076c5ceb714bc8f20136a8...

and it is indeed used extensively for all of the flows:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AYosysHQ%2Fyosys%20ScriptP...

and so in particular, wanting to do synthesis for Xilinx, I was stuck basically commenting various lines in SynthXilinxPass::script

https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/blob/076c5ceb714bc8f20136a8...

to experiment with various flows. Now maybe you have/had a better way to do this but I couldn't find it.
Just publish the specs for how to build/sign an iOS binary...
That is certainly a possibility.
Nothing shook my faith in the medical system more than having kids.

Holy cow is modern medicine still as smugly wrong as it’s always been. Every generation laughs at all the stupid stuff the previous generations believed, and then acts so confident that they’ve got it right this time.

And as a result you get unworthy nurses making moms feel intense shame for not “trying hard enough” to somehow magically produce milk.
It’s a very simple question - one that my kid’s pediatrician asks during almost every visit. Weird that you take it as an accusation.
But my question from the outset was about the rationale for taxing both income and consumption, which I stated plainly and repeatedly. You're pointing me at arguments for a situation that doesn't exist in the present.

Perhaps you're the one who should read more carefully.
Cross platform support (with Android)

I should add I'm quite impressed Apple implemented import/export. It's not something I expected them to officially support.
> “Monopoly: the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.”

That is not the applicable definition for US antitrust law.

Then let’s fight corruption, let’s fight to spend those budgets on educating our populace and having amazing public services. Let’s stop dithering about taxes and create a system of government that punishes corruption and is policed by a wholly different institution. It’s ridiculous to expect any institution that polices itself to not fall into corruption over time.

Answer: the American industrial food market decided not to invest in it. Literally everything that Americans eat today is a byproduct of the marketing of industrial food producers. If they don't want you to eat it, you won't see it. If they do want you to eat it, it'll be inescapable, visually appealing, and flavor-and-nutrition-bankrupt.

I just wonder how do "mishaps" like this square with techno-optimists looking at graphs going up and convincing us "everything is on track for an amazing future!" [1].

I don't know if this is just my cynicism but I just can't believe we are going to fix the climate. Every now and then something like this sees the light of day and it seems like we are just doing some clever feel-good bookkeeping rather than fixing the core of the issue.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Philips' revenue was ~20 billion last year. Why must these people shit all over everything to squeeze out even more on top of that?

Where are all of the businesses with values that put humans first? Is it just necessary to be so ruthlessly destructive to make it at all?
I rephrased it to accommodate the nitpicking and you completely ignored it, going right back to hard/easy rather than scalable/unscalable.

FBA is scalable.

These people are doing the unscalable part.

I'm not dismissive of education. I learn on the job. I learn in my free time. I learn to further my career. I learn to help myself out. I learn for fun.

What I resent is the absurd idea that going to a brick and mortar institutions for 4, 6, maybe 10 years, following a track the teacher and administration considered best, with the vast majority of those being educated getting an outdated curriculum, is an effective means of learning. This entire attitude is portrayed as pro-education but it's really just pro-institution. It's only an effective means of learning insofar that the credential you get at the end can open doors to opportunities to learn, a point I will readily concede.

I also have done amateur medical research in my spare time and literally printed out some papers and taken them to my doctor and said "let's do this". This ended up being very successful and very productive. It's not what the OP did is something people who did fancy book lernin' through a SCHOOL can do only after years of toil. You can just pick up the skills you need as you go and get reasonable results.
You've missed the point of their message. I think they're saying: Sure, the market is bigger. They could choose to continue to focus on gaming despite that. Except it doesn't seem like even that is an option.
yeah i've been in the google/nest garden for years ... yes the dual apps are weird and that's probably because Google Home does too much already that they had to keep the Nest app but nothing has stopped working for me nor gotten any emails telling me they are sunsetting something.
You can clean cast iron with soap of course, if you're using it often and well you don't have to. Most of the time all I need to do is wipe it clean with a paper towel and let it be like that until I use it again a few hours later.

I figure this is probably what those "dirt poor southerns" were doing too, since it's simple and effective.
> Math is a model of the universe in the same sense that a world map is a model of the earth.

That describes pre-1900s math we inherited from the greeks. With advent of non-euclidean geometry and abstract math, math is no longer bound to objective 'reality'.

>By replacing labour with robots and not compensating them, you're sending a clear message that you don't respect people and the value that they bring.

This just sounds like rent-seeking. People should get paid, because they once upon a time had a job. Now machines do the job better and for cheaper, therefore you deserve to be paid for it?

How about the compensation is the improved products or better prices for all of society?

Thanks for the info. I reviewed it.

To me, it seems the problem nobody is addressing is how to recycle valuable metals without them becoming part of the slag (ie we need something that can be used to break down electronic components to their rare metals and then capture them usefully). Everything I’ve read seems to just ignore this. Have you any thoughts on this?
I wouldn't push your luck... that one might be serious.
> How many famous journalists can you name?

I’m not sure how that’s relevant. Ask a dozen people on the street who John Carmack is I’m sure you’d get a lot of blank faces. But if he walked into a dev shop looking for a job I think he’d probably get one.

Of course breaking a massive story is going to lead to you being well known. Perhaps only within journalistic circles but in the context of your career that’s the only thing that matters anyway.

(and to answer anecdote with anecdote: Woodward and Bernstein. Both have lived to ripe old ages, too, for what it’s worth)
Just understanding the scope and breadth of the pollution issue, particularly plastics and PFAS. Even if we crack immortality via medicine, it does nothing for having microplastics in your heart tissues. You can't live in ignorant bliss forever but man that was a long ride down.

Probably after that is having my trust in professionals repeatedly broken. It's bad when you encounter people who you blindly trust to do the right thing and realize that they're not necessarily doing it. Healthcare professionals, who you unconsciously partitioned away from other jobs too. That maybe you, untrained as you are, can do it too with a little effort for a lot less money.

After that is the deep understanding that money doesn't buy quality generally, it can, but not as a rule, and that you can't pay people any amount to care about you or your things.

Maybe a lot of that is the eggshells of youth falling away leaving the cynicism of adulthood, but this knowledge and being constantly reminded of it has definitely made me less happy.
I mean its really putting all the onus on the buyer of the product in the hopes that they have technical capabilities or alternatively just stilling all the benefits to the corporate company. Sad state of play.
I would expect if Amazon disappeared, since people can’t go there to search for products to buy anymore, they’d use Google instead, or some other product search aggregator sites. They’d presumably still list the cheap sellers first (or whoever pays for an ad slot). That would be a huge change in the e-commerce industry, FTC can argue it benefits consumers because the prices of everything will be cheaper without Amazon’s fees, but I’m not seeing how to reduces the prevalence of cloned products.

These are not the only differentiators. Certainly airbnbs cannot be run or priced the same as hotel rooms (and by which measure?). In the end, few hotels offer a lived in space, or enough space, or a lived in location, etc, etc. There is space for airbnbs. And in many areas there are very few hotels anyway. From the other side, an airbnb "owner" does not need to price his assets the same way either. Normally, running the airbnb is not their only business or it's not their full time activity. And both a hotel and an airbnb can price very dynamically but not in the same way: a hotel has many rooms and high fixed costs while an airbnb manager has only one or few and often no fixed costs (if the room is not held primarily for renting out.)
It's quite common for modern governments to identify industries or regions which are heading towards economic decline and put in place measures to ensure the decline happens in a gradual, controlled way. This reduces a whole host of associated social problems that tend to accompany economic decline. I think it's a good thing, and I think it's probably better economically than the alternative.

> What matters is that society as a whole was better after every automation.

If your family's wealth had historically sat somewhere around the median in your society and then a major change occurred which caused your family's wealth to drop to the bottom 20% in your society, wouldn't you be angry about that? I would be. And I wouldn't be placated by assurances that society as a whole will be better off.

Not that I think demanding a halt to technological progress is a rational response (I've mentioned elsewhere I don't think that's really possible to achieve, even if we wanted to), but I understand why some people might respond that way.

The people "throwing a hissy fit" are, in my opinion, right about the problem but wrong about the solution (which is often the case). Automation rapidly making a large number of people redundant is an economic shock which can be softened via sensible intervention.
Yeah, but if you search and replaced the part where the $88 is to pay the manufacturer, and instead say it is to pay they employees and the cost of materials, it's not like that suddenly looks like a viable business.
There's a funny Japanese movie about small business tax shenanigans, A Taxing Woman (1987). Several of Nobuko Miyamoto's movies take a humorous look at Japanese business. Perhaps the best of those is Supermarket Woman (1996).

If the parent is abusive, trying to get their cooperation in fixing the problem may be an effective means to out them.

They had absolutely no reason to believe I was abusing him. Most likely, they were just trying to cover their own butts and err in that direction rather than in the direction of "what's best for this child?"

That's without getting into larger concerns of "What on earth is wrong with the world that a junk food diet is the medically recommended diet for a serious medical condition?"
Unfortunately, you, I and probably most people here are the outliers. The enshitification happens because 90% of consumers can't live without their things and will repeated hand companies money over and over while they deliver less and less.
I’ve got a number (~12) KASA products that I’m pretty happy with. Yes, they’re cloud-based, but you can turn that off after initial setup and use them directly over Wi-Fi.

That’s the other (mostly) good thing about… they’re Wi-Fi native and don’t use any sort of hub.

Their iOS app is reasonably decent, and there are honesceeen widgets.

Easy to build fairly advanced automations… for instance I have a rule that turns my bedside fan off and turns the bedroom lights on that runs 5 minutes before my alarm goes off, weekdays only.

Most of what I use are their bulbs, which are both relatively cheap ($30 for a 4 pack), with excellent CRI, variable color temp (including a nightshirt style automation that goes whiter during the day, and both warmer and dimmer at night), and full RGB color.

I probably wouldn’t recommend them for a whole home setup (you’d need pretty serious Wi-Fi routers) but for a case like mine where I’m only using it in a few rooms, it’s great.
It seems there are two major talking point: one is that it’s simple 10% cost penalty for previously exempted small businesses, that isn’t necessarily easy to reflect on prices. Another is that the requisite bureaucratic processing is apparently cumbersome.

So “everyone” is trying to get registered, push 10% price hike, and prepare all the forms, all at once, and realizing that it’s a bit complicated to do right now, just now. And are complaining just now.
Duty to shareholders or whatever the standard excuse is.
Call me an old man yelling at the cloud, but I just don't understand the hype of connected lightbulbs. In absolute, would I like to be able to turn off the lights from my smartphone? Well, sure, if there was absolutely no cost to it. But the negatives of being tied to Yet Another Cloud Service potentially subject to data breaches, of installing an app on my phone that's going to require space, updates, and an online account, of depending on a piece of electronics with a shitty firmware that's eventually going to break or go end-of-life, just vastly outweigh the positives.

In a vacuum, having more features is good. But simplicity itself is a feature. Simple things don't break as often, it's easier to fix when they do, and they're more predictable, meaning it's easier to plan your life around them.

My sister wouldn't sleep. The doctor constantly gave the "sigh, you're an idiot, you just do X and Y and they sleep" talk to my mother because nothing came up on their screening, even though my mother almost wanted to scream that something was clearly wrong and abnormal. Turns out, different doctor, serious vitamin deficiency.

And medical incompetence by staff, not doctors, is also awful. My brother hated reading. He got glasses, still hated reading, my mother wondered why he could be so disobedient in that regard. They said, well, the prescription is right, he can clearly see fine. Turns out two years later that the lenses were installed on opposite sides. Right lens on left eye, left lens on right eye. A simple mistake, but the consequences...
> Why does the 40 hour work week sound like hell to you? Home life bad?

Some people want to work more because their job is tied to a mission that they value. Imagine if you worked at a homeless shelter helping people get back on their feet. That's deeply important work. Why would want to limit that to only 40 hours a week? Did Jesus work 40 hours a week?

> is literally no other realistic way of improving the life of working people other than banding together and acting collectively

I agree.

> answer isn't to reject the concept of unions. Without unions, we're all hosed

Disagree. Unions are, today, a sideshow in which the fates of a falling minority of workers, most of whom don’t have the true leverage of collective action due to nonunion competition, are paraded as symbols of worker empowerment while living conditions for the vast majority pitter along.

American unions worked in the industrial age. They’re not a great model today. More problematically, their brand is trashed. Want to kill a worker’s rights bill in a federal context? Brand it as a union fight.

Unions are one mode of organisation. They seem a dead end. What we had in the early stages of open-source coöperatives and Silicon Valley start-ups strikes me as closer to the truth, albeit with European enhancements. (Simple: give the ESOP voting Board seats with e.g. merger veto power and a seat on the executive compensation committee.)
> America had asked Taiwan to manufacture biological weapons at a lab run by the island’s defence ministry, the report claimed.

This reminds me a lot of the (presumably Russian disinformation) story that flitted around American conservative spheres early in the Ukraine war saying that the US gov was setting up bio weapon labs at the border with Russia and that's why the Russian invasion was justified. Funny how the exact same propaganda can be shared between conflicts to good effect presumably.
> Or, it could be the case that only GM makes GM-compatible brake pads. In which case they would have a monopoly in that market. Not because it’s a monopoly on their brand of brake pads, but because it’s a monopoly on any brand of brake pads compatible with that brand of cars – which is something else entirely.

> Notice that they don’t even have to be the same company.

As a specific example (and note, that you also don’t have to be the literal sole supplier to have a legal monopoly under US antitrust law), the market Microsoft was found to have monopolized in their big antitrust case was the market for operating systems for IBM-compatible personal computers.

That one’s new to me. Does it mean if I wear an XL my epics can have more story points?
You would have us believe NSO is more of a UK company than Israeli, but the company is comprised of Israelis operating out of Israel, with the Israeli government's consent, having the Israeli government shield them from international investigations. What an absolute joke. The UK shell company is a farce and everybody sees that, yet you disrespect everybody else in this conversation by insisting that this shell game farce is meaningful.

Isn't this how vaccines have always been? I had to take various vaccines in school, and no kid I saw batted an eye.

The whole series of controversy seems like making a mountain out of a molehill. Of course the COVID vaccines have side effects, some of them probably suppressed from the general public and many more too unknown/uncertain to officially label. The vaccine made me sick as stink. But my observation was that people were taking any opportunity, like a supposed 1-in-1 million increased risk of a heart attack, into demonizing a public health resource that protects them from very probable hospitalization, chronic injury, or from killing someone else.

There was never going to be an "informed choice," no matter how maniacally transparent the vaccine testers were. Aside from a handful of people with sensitive conditions, no sane person would turn down the vaccine if every single unsubstantiated side effect was true, but it seems that a majority of the country was prepared to do that.
I wonder why, then, HN comments don't adhere to that: .comment { max-width:1215px } in news.css here on my system, which feels very readable and reasonable at around 200 chr per line at 100% scaling. I also disagree with the 70 chr recommendation: with this article, literally the entire body is limited to a very small max width which takes up between a quarter to a third of the screen on two different computers I use at home. It's a distractingly bad experience to read, so much so that I went in and modified that CSS rule just to get through it. 1200 felt right and made it a much more visually pleasing square, rather than a thin column in a sea of stark gray.

There are actual standards for this, but they're more like recommendations, and ironically https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-cont... recommends "Width is no more than 80 characters or glyphs (40 if CJK)." while the first line of the paragraph explaining why is 112 characters wide and looks pretty much fine / comfortable to read on my screens.

While there are psychological reasons to use shorter line lengths, as this SO answer details the whole 80 column width thing goes all the way back to punchcards in 1928 https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1486...

Edit: here's what HN comments would look like with 65-70chr per line: https://i.imgur.com/yeMF6IY.png vs default with 1215px per the news.css rule: https://i.imgur.com/IXNyhfL.png .
