> Video streaming services need to take Gabe Newell's words to heart. Steam still heavily beats pirating games, and so I pay up for games

Absolutely. I do think there are subtle differences and bits of strategy that are often overlooked here though.

First off, the risk of using pirated games is significantly higher than that of pirated music/films/tv. You can't put malware in a video/audio file (modulo codec bugs), but it's fairly trivial with a game binary.

Secondly though, Steam has sales, regularly. The amount I care about content exists on a spectrum. I'll pay $30 to see the new Dune film in an IMAX cinema, but the 87th episode of House MD is probably not worth $1 to me. TV/Movie companies never seemed to understand this, with things like buying on iTunes, and it was left to retailers to sometimes price down DVDs, but even then there were restrictions (e.g. Disney). Streaming sort of solved this, but is now un-solving it with so many streaming services having their own pricing setup based on their perceived value of their content.

Steam nicely side-steps this with a range of sale prices – I can buy stuff I care about soon/predictably at high price, or I can buy stuff I don't care about later/unpredictably at a low price. And I do buy across a range of price points based on how much I care about the content.

Edit: another aspect that is maybe under-valued is that Steam doesn't seem to do regional releases. I've never experienced a game not being available in a region. However with TV/movies/streaming this is regularly the case. It's so common for a hit TV series to come out in the US, for the online discourse to be in full swing, and for the studio to just have plans to maybe possibly launch it in select other countries in a year's time. How did they think most people in the world were watching Game of Thrones?
It turns out that without competition there is zero incentive whatsoever to be efficient with resources. Who cares, it’s not your money!

It’s simple game theory. When you’re the only game in town, you can charge as much as you want, and provide as little service as you wish.
I think the problem is the term "minimum payment". A lot of people don't seem to understand that this is a basically arbitrary number. They will make them same mistake without autopay.
It's still "manual" work. Why bother? Set it and forget it.
Found Pieter and his books a couple years ago and it make a big impact. The Collective Code Construction Contract is a brilliant piece of community engineering and should be adopted/adapted by every FOSS project on the planet.

Well, Thinkpad is not the only product of Lenovo
Not the OP, but the most likely reason I can think of is manual payments give an opportunity to review all charges. But still having the minimum set to autopay ensures that if you forget or unable to, the consequences are less severe.
> This leads to bribery and kickback

Which is illegal in most countries. Police the illegality (you probably need a well funded police force for that) and the corruption will reduce significantly.

It’s true that not all corruption can be stopped. But if you think privatising everything will make your dollars more efficient then you’re living in a fantasy world.
Look at the mess that is the US healthcare system for a start: twice as expensive as every other country’s healthcare system and certainly not the best
I use the same practice. When I tried autopay, years ago, I felt like I never really knew how much money I had; it was like simultaneously balancing a checkbook backwards and forwards in time. Now I do it manually, paying off all current bills every time I get a paycheck, and that is much easier to understand.

No, we had far less per capita. Medical services are far more commonly used now than in 1913, partially because we have a lot more of them that are actually useful.
Shufflecake Research Paper Released
Hello HN, happy to announce that after a long embargo due to a conference submission, the full Shufflecake paper is now available open access on IACR's EPrint! ArXiv will follow soon. We are also proud to announce that the work has been accepted at ACM CCS 2023!

Shufflecake is a tool for Linux that allows to create multiple hidden volumes on a storage device in such a way that it is very difficult, even under forensic inspection, to prove the existence of such volumes. You can consider Shufflecake a "spiritual successor" of tools such as TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt, but vastly improved.
Don't you think it's cool, man? Can't you imagine something cool you could do with it? :)

It was your parents decision which nationality you have, by accepting the nationality they accepted the rules and costs, so no officious intermedler.

Nice place you got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it
The emotional attachment you're talking about is certainly true. This is why supposedly systems of government work best around ~8m citizens. Perhaps a local income tax would work better? Property/land taxes can also be locally administered and skew towards those who can afford it rather than those who can't.

I have not used spreadsheets very often since the mid-1990's. One of the reasons: I was excited by the potential of Improv, but disappointed when I realized that it had no future. Little did I realize that pivot tables were a different take on the concept!

(The other reason for abandoning spreadsheets was performance. I forget how good/bad Improv was in this respect, but I doubt that I would have stuck with spreadsheets since the data sets I was dealing with weren't really appropriate for them.)
On a 120 buck device lol?
I agree that there's not much point in writing actual literal semantically correct code on a piece of paper, but I don't think that's at all the point of the article. The author talks about understanding the problem space, getting their ideas organized, and (if I may charitably interpret the article a bit) even go as far as scratching out some ideas of what the code might look like.
This system makes sense on a fundamentals level, but something to also consider is the synergy principle (1+1=3) where some tasks, when coupled together, could potentially be bumped from optimizer to game changer (or bumped from tweak).

Great visuals though, made the system super easy to comprehend.
I see this comment over and over and over here on HN and it really blows my mind that people don't get it. These models are made so that enterprise clients will pay a lot of money to use them. I was a director at S&P Global and if you brought in software that could make pornographic images, violent images, or introduce copyright violations into our research you would be laughed out of the room within exactly 1 minute. The push for "safety" is that we live in a capitalistic society and the people will pay the most money for access to these models will want them to be "safe". If you don't like it, go ahead and create a competitor and see how many sales you get to enterprise customers.

SV isn't trying to be your nanny. They are trying to make money. I'm shocked this isn't obvious to well-educated people who visit this forum.
I don't understand this comment. Can someone explain it like I'm five?
I’ve never gotten into pivot tables, mostly because data has always been available in a relational db for my career.

But the effort to move the data into one from a spreadsheet is way overkill, so I do think it’s not suboptimal to use them even as an engineer.
They outlawed slavery in 1865. Theres about 48 years between these two things.
Many states raised income via property taxes which also included taxes on slaves.

I'm curious how and when you found your first users. Did you start some kind of marketing or outreach via any specific channels?

How did you determine that you had completed your mvp and were ready for showing to people? Did it all go well and what would you have done differently?

> The idea that all people have a human right to be free from violent coercion.

And do you think you'd be free of violence in a government free world?

Sure, in the end, all laws are enforced by physical violence - arrest, imprisonment etc - but that just underlines the physical nature of the world - the threat of a man with a gun doesn't go away when you remove collective will.
Sorry, is there any reason to expect money to revert to behaving like gold any time soon? Sounds suspiciously like crypto tripe. Why would that be beneficial anyway? The relative purchasing power of poor countries won't change without some serious shifting in resource distribution worldwide.
I second this suggestion. My first card with CapitalOne back in the day also had this on by default (though naturally required the app), and I've made sure to go out of my way to turn it on with subsequent cards as well.

Personally I turn on autopay for anything whenever possible. (Fortunately, my financial situation has always allowed me to avoid carrying a balance on any credit card.)

I then use YNAB which automatically imports most of my transactions to review my spending every week. That still gives me the opportunity to dispute any incorrect transactions.
no but I love how truth is dowvoted
In a modern OS, you can combine the gap and the piece table approaches using the MMU to eliminate most copying in the common cases.

Basically: if you need to make a gap, split the page it’s on into two (so your region copy is always less than one page long). You can start the copy into the middle of second page or not (I don’t actually think that’s an optimization in practice but have never measured it).

If you get a lot of fragmentation you can have a background process that does coalescence away from the active insertion point.

I disagree, quite strongly in fact. But my experience is not with US PhD programs, which is what discussions here often center upon.

As for working on research outside of pursuing a PhD: one option is to become a scientific programmer. Typically, you'd work on helping to execute the research, without the pressures of having to publish.

Of course, your "clients" do have that pressure, but your job typically is to Make It Happen, explain why it can't, and find crafty workarounds to Make It Sorta Happen Anyway.

Yeah, I grew up getting books at yardsales and used book stores, usually a dozen at a time for a few dollars, and I almost always read several of them at a time. Switching between books seems like a natural way to read books, it's not a symptom of mass media induced brain damage or whatever is being suggested above. My family didn't even have cable TV so I'm quite sure my attention span wasn't damaged by it.
An occasional 100ms pause while I'm editing a huge 1GB file wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me, as long as regular-sized files have <10ms latency. It's been a long time since I opened a text file that huge, and I think the editor I was using at the time chugged something awful.

VSCode is slightly laggy for me just editing a 10k line text file, so my standards are sadly not that high, even though I find typing latency really annoying.

I also recall reading that, in the agrarian Middle Ages, women in farming communities (though also men and children to a lesser degree) did things like spin cloth to sell during the winter when there wasn’t much work to do on the farm to bolster family income during the slow season.

As those “side gigs” moved to factory production (for cloth production that happened very early), I wouldn’t be surprised if families stopped participating due to it not being economically feasible.
A subset of users and mods attempted a bit of a revolution on Reddit recently, you'll recall.
It's just data analysis, the same way that other retailers do it for product recommendations. The only difference with more anodyne correlations (eg. people who buy cereal are also more likely to buy milk) is that they're using anonymized pharmacy data.
For movies and TV, I absolutely prefer it -- as do most people in tests, which is why it continues to be dominant.

For whatever psychological reason, 24 fps "suggests" reality but without "being" reality, kind of like being in a dream, and our brains pay attention to story and action.

While 60+ fps "approaches" reality and it simply starts to feel both uncomfortably real and uncomfortably fake. Uncomfortably real because it feels too much like real-life and we don't have enough of a mental distinction between fantasy and reality, and uncomfortably fake because it looks like a bunch of actors acting and moving in ways that aren't the ways people act and move in real life. It's uncanny valley.

Nobody really knows why our brains respond this way psychologically. They just do.

So for fictional movie/TV content, higher fps is not better. 24/30 is chosen for a very good reason.

(On the other hand, news and sports do great with higher fps, because there's nothing fake trying to be passed off as real.)
Not for me. I guess the website forwards you to a different region's shop.

There is an interesting and economically well-motivated argument that income tax should be eliminated everywhere.

The argument agrees (as do I) that it is right for the government to collect taxes, and that many individuals (including myself) should pay taxes; believe me, I like having a stable society!! -- but "income" is not a good basis.

It comes down to two things: ownership and also what government should encourage (taxes are a way of "discouraging" things by adding an additional cost).

Labor. I and only I own my labor, else I am a slave. On what basis does the government have rights to the fruits of this? Why discourage me from employing my labor to the benefit of my countrymen?

Capital. If I deploy my capital, hopefully to make other's labor more efficient, I am taking the risk. Why should the government also charge me for this? Why discourage me from investing?

Land. Ahhh, here we have something. My ownership of my land is a right granted by the government (unlike my ownership of my labor). And land is only (economically) good for rent-seeking, which is economically harmful.

Taxes on land could fully fund the government, provide the wealth redistribution which is necessary to keep capitalist economies functioning for more than a few generations, and aligns with the foundational principles of democratic governments (natural law, rights of man vs government, etc).

I’ve always found that latency number to be suspect. In some contexts, it’s imperceivable. In others it is.

For example, dragging an item around a screen with your finger, 100ms is definitely noticeable. Typing seems to be less although I had a coworker claim he could. So it’s hard to say if we don’t notice it vs we’ve just become accustomed to interacting with text with 100ms of latency (or something about the task of typing is more latency insensitive).

I would be interested in seeing the the same data driven analysis for human factors as HCI is even less intuitive than computer algorithm performance.

Searching is not a particularly latency sensitive task as your next match is probably significantly within 1 gib where you’re paying 250ms at worst. But yeah, if regex searching is the task to optimize around, ropes in Rust won’t work well due to the lack of incremental search at this time.
I think some of the comments that are writing this off as not very useful are missing a point. Almost all businesses prioritising finite resource should be using some form of CD3/WSJF; but it's very hard to communicate why to stakeholders without diving into some math and graphs that some people have a hard time understanding.

This looks like a really good way of getting people to practice cost-of-delay based prioritisation in a structured, reproducible way that doesn't involve formulas or maths.
