Do we want to talk about a hypothetical world where deontology was the underlying moral principle? Where, for example, a large agency in charge of approving vaccines decided to delay approval of a life saving because, even though they received the information on November 20th, they scheduled the meeting for December 10-12th dammit, and that's when it'll be done? By potentially delaying several months because, instead of using challenge trials to directly assess the safety of a vaccine by exposing willing volunteers to both the supposed cure and disease, instead gave the cure to a couple of tens of thousands of people, and just waited until enough of them got sick and died to a disease "that would have got them anyway" to gather enough statistics for safety? Which is definitely good, you see, because no one got directly harmed by said agency, even if many more people in the country were dying of this theoretical disease. [0]

Or, even better, what if distribution of this life saving cure was done based on the deontological concept of fairness? Surely, this wouldn't result in limited and highly demanded vaccines being literally thrown away[1] in the name of equity and where vaccination companies wouldn't need to seek approval for something as simple as increasing doses of vaccines in vials. [2]

You know, just all theoretically, since it would be a terrible shame if any of these things happened in the real world, since this is just one specific scenario and I'm sure I can make up various [3] other [4] ways [5] in which not carefully evaluating the consequences of moral actions would turn out poorly, but hey!

I'm sure glad that utilitarianism isn't being entertained more on the margin, since we already live in the best of all possible moral universes.

(Footnote, I'm not going to justify these citations within this post, because it's pithier this way. I recognize this is not being fully honest and transparent, but I'd be happy to fully defend the inclusion of any these, if necessary)

You might find the culture of gongkai to be in the same vein as your suggestion. https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4297
The entire point is that MNPI is a legal concept and information can be both nonpublic (i.e. private correspondence) and tradable for profit (i.e. material) and yet does not constitute MNPI.

You're making the exact mistake that I've repeatedly tried to correct. There is no bad faith on my part.
Nice work! I see that that this is for processing / parsing large data sets and where documents do not conform to a fixed structure and for Go language.

I made something similar in Java - unify-jdocs - https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-jdocs - though this is not for parsing - it is more for reading and writing when the structure of the document is known - read and write any JSONPath in one line of code and use model documents to define the structure of the data document (instead of using JSONSchema which I found very unwieldy to use) - no POJOs or model classes - along with many other features. Posting here as the topic is relevant and it may help people in the Java world. We have used it intensively within Amex for a very large complex project and it has worked great for us.
I don't think this is quite right

Restaurants are a tough business, so towns with a high vacancy rate end up being unable to support very many restaurants. Forget the quality of the restaurant, lots of these places barely have any restaurants (or they're very seasonal)

Honestly, I wonder if one could do a "benefit local business tax" where they tax the non primary residents and then just subsidize the types of local businesses they want to keep open (it's hard to design good systems for this though!)

I really don't disagree with you at all. I also don't like GitHub anymore nor have I ever liked Microsoft (see my last few comments on HN on recent threads, in fact).

I don't blame anyone for using it either, just didn't fit my personal workflow like mouse-based doesn't fit yours.
>Presently, we use 24-hour time (AM/PM or otherwise), so the loss in precision is enormous going from 24 to 10.

>Think about it.

No, YOU think about it. When do you use hour-only precision today ?

When you say "I have meeting at 8" that never means "any time period between 8 and 9", that means "it starts at eight". That doesn't change with change of the length of the hour.

You'd still use hours on their own only if you mean "an hour and close to zero minutes around that hour". You'd still add minutes for anything else.

> A hundredth of a metric hour is 14.4 standard minutes! Imagine being 0.01 metric hours late for a meeting.

...no ? it's 100 seconds so ~1.66 of standard minute

Imagine being 1.66 minutes late instead of one!!! Such horror!

I'm 53. Those things were the absolute most lusted for device among the amateur musicians I knew in college and soon after; the ability to record with any complexity at all at home like that was insane. Before that, demos were just played live to a tape recorder, with no ability to multitrack or overdub or any such thing.

I'm sympathetic to the motivating factors of deliberately limited workspaces, but at the same time I am astonished and deeply happy about how this particular barrier to home recording has been more or less completely removed. The average laptop owned by a college freshman is far more capable, given the right software. That's astounding, and has allowed far more creative freedom, which is a boon we all enjoy.

But yeah: sometimes working with a form is interesting. And, for someone of a certain age, the powerful shot of nostalgia from working on something like this could definitely be motivating. That said, though, the tagline is bullshit: The cassette was never cool.

You've provided more than enough "citations" for your contribution and I learned a thing or 2 from it. Thank you for sharing it.

To address the gp point, your original comment would have been fine without the last 2 sentences (unless of course diagnosing tinnitus is your occupation):

> Dad went through acute hearing loss twice. They banned salt during recovery. Your tinnitus is related to blood circulation in the ear. Reduce salt.

The first 2 sentences was you sharing your experience but the last 2 sentences were you making a diagnosis of someone else's condition based off of a comment (rather than a physical exam and/or some lab tests) which I imagine is why @maccard asked for citations.
>You still need someone to review the generated code if it throws an error for potential data loss.

Yeah, exactly what I meant by the terraform-like plan/apply stages. You generate the change script and save it as your "plan", and then have an apply step that takes a backup and runs the script.

That's more than simply answering queries about the model.

> I switched away from it when Gnome 3 happened and haven't looked back

So did I; I've heard all the things, how terrible it is, and so on.

Then, few years later I tried it for myself - and it was actually nice. I started to like Gnome 3. Listening to other's opinions without trying it myself was a mistake.
I'm not arguing there shouldn't be trees,at at least where I'm at in DFW there's tons of them, I'm just arguing that dropping the temp from 110F to 100F still doesn't change the fact walking around in even 100F at decently high humidity will render most people a sweaty mess in a block. We had weeks where the heat index was around 120F this summer.

Even just sitting around outside in a shady backyard with lots of vegetation, a pool, and umbrellas we were still sweating profusely this last summer.

Yes, I only recall a couple of doctors - there may have been more. The actual question to ask though, is how many patients?
Another question to ask is who financed the "SOLIDARITY and RECOVERY" trial that you seem to place so much faith in. And was it scientifically valid?
Too much "science" these days is corrupted by economic, political and ideological incentives, so I am suspicious of all of it.
This leads me to trust anecdotal evidence more than I should, but what else is there? Even though anecdotal evidence is a relatively weak form of evidence, it is still evidence and it still counts for something.
The only alternative is to do a deep dive into every allegedly scientific study out there, that one is interested in, and evaluate it.
Same here. But when I’m sick with a cold or flu it’s amplified a lot. It bothers me alot when I’m sick.
Just a data point: Google scholar regularly reminds me of any publications of mine that list US gov funding that do not have a publicly accessible PDF.

You are already allowed to (at least in tech) provide a preprint and public PDF on personal (non commercial) or educational web sites.

And Google scholar does associate those with the publishers links, as an alternative source.

So, it's not like we couldn't provide all R&D for free already. At least in tech.
There's probably heaps of reasons, but I'll point out this one: Latency.

Online 'magazines' -- professional "blogs" with magazine style articles -- can publish an article whenever its done (or even before its done, you can always edit it later). An issue of a magazine comes out every month/quarter etc. and needs content, editing, (usually) advertising placement, layout, printing, distribution etc. to all be done up front and with better/more quality control.

This is really a reason why magazines "lost" to the web, but my point is that books didn't. Books can also survive digitally as ebooks, but an emagazine is (would be) just a less convenient website.

A couple of other thoughts (not reasons or considered arguments):

I feel like buying a magazine is an indulgence. It costs money and has the weight of the resources used to produce it. This means that a magazine feels like an object that should be worth something, which raises the standard for the content. When I did read magazines regularly, I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. A physical book is easier to see as a valuable object in the long term -- keeping them around doesn't (immediately) make you look like a hoarder and they're easier to give away or sell to other people.
>It seems like Microsoft believes they can settle for something much lower.

This is almost CERTAINLY true. MSFT will be able to tie this up in court, and has tremendous motivation to do so.
The same is true for the proposed global universal time. Without inter-timezone communication, everyone would just operate relative to their local solar noon, like they did pre-nineteenth century. The 'edge cases' of inter-timezone communication and travel are the only reason we need to care about any kind of coordinated time system.
I would say, if OPs claim is correct, "x is not happening but y is" To say only the first minimizes the issue, even if unintentionally.
I used gpt4 to write a script that I can ssh from my iPhone to a m1 that downloads the mp3 from a yt url on my iPhone clipboard. The only thing I am missing is automating the sync button when the iPhone is on the same home wifi to add the mp3 to the music app.
> In practice, no utilitarian would fall for something this dumb.

This is the penultimate conclusion of the dialogue as well, that even Bentham would need to admit so many post-hoc deviations from the general rules of Utilitarianism that it ends up being a form of deontology instead. The primary takeaway is then that Utilitarianism works as a rule-of-thumb, but not as an underlying fundamental truth.
> Don't we have the same basic criticism going from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Sure, and one shouldn’t do that either. Fahrenheit’s range (0 being the freezing point of brine, almost but not quite intolerable to a human, and 100 being roughly body temperate and also almost but not quite intolerable to a human) is far more human than Celsius’s freezing-to-boiling range.
I've never heard anyone else say this but : I have had significant tinnitus for my entire life. As early as I can remember, I always had ringing in my ears. I think I was born with it.

Anyone else? I've only ever heard of people acquiring it over the course of their lives, but I know I was born with it.

It doesn't really bother me, since its been normal for me since before I was even forming memories.
The. What is it? A right? What does that mean? I have a right to speech in the US. The government doesn’t provide me a laptop and hosting. I have a right to keep arms. The government doesn’t give me a Ruger.

Definition of a commodity. In economics, a commodity is defined as a tangible good that can be bought and sold or exchanged for products of similar value. Natural resources such as oil as well as basic foods like corn are two common types of commodities. Like other classes of assets such as stocks, commodities have value and can be traded on open markets. And like other assets, commodities can fluctuate in price according to supply and demand.
I was a professional auto mechanic in the late 80s, and I'd never even heard rumors of such a beast. I'm not going to pull the [citation needed] card, but I think this is one of those tales that got taller with the telling (Nissan 300Z's, for example, are a right PITA such that you'd briefly think that removing the engine would make it easier.)

There isn't an automotive engineer in the world that would keep their job after submitting such a design, let alone get it into production.
Well, that just shows it happens in the US, but it's the same for most tech journals and Google scholar/arxiv
Even honest mistakes can be construed as negligence.

This always gets trotted out like some sort of 'gotcha bitch!' card you can just drop on a company. Then they just roll over and do whatever you want.

You'd have to be a lawyer to make that act work for you.
Pretty much all of the other car companies have managed to settle on rather generic[0] names for their level 2-3 autonomy implementations: Ford BlueCruise, GM Super Cruise, BMW Driving Assistance Professional, Mercedes Drive Pilot (the first certified level 3 system in the US), Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Rivian Highway Assist, etc.

The names all imply that the car is doing something to help you drive, but none of them imply further meaning about their capability or even suggest anything about their autonomy. Tesla is pretty much the only company to embrace names--Autopilot, and later, "Full Self-Driving"--that come loaded with cultural and linguistic meaning.

Doing so allowed Tesla to borrow the excitement and prestige of future developments: look not so much at where we are, but where we're going and how some small pieces of that future are there in the current system. Which worked great for their marketing efforts, but didn't do so well in educating drivers about what their cars were actually capable of or doing.

Anyhow, the SAE eventually developed a taxonomy with six levels of driving automation, which were later adopted by the Department of Transportation.[1] It's not a perfect taxonomy, but it does illustrate that autonomy is a spectrum. But it's definitely intended more for the industry and regulators rather than consumers; if a car has "level three conditional automation" systems, that needs additional context to be useful to consumers.

Atlassian to Acquire Loom in $975M Deal
Something about this doesn't really make sense. I mean how often do we hear that there is a housing shortage? Either we are being lied to that there is a shortage or these numbers are not what they seem?

It bothers me that in this article that in the same paragraph it mentions housing "deteriorating conditions" it gives percentages for housing in rent and being renovated, but ignores the percent for this important aspect? How much of this housing is actually in a livable state?

Maybe the original report actually gives these numbers so I will need to look at this closer.

But something about this really isn't adding up for me given what has been said time and time again over the last few years.

Edit: Ok so it seems like the reason this article doesn't mention this percent is because the lending tree one doesn't either. If I am reading this correctly it is only explaining about 52% (26.61 + 17.04 + 7.98) of this number. So what is the reason for the other roughly 50%? That is a huge percent to be seemingly ignoring but still taking into account for an attention grabbing headline.
I'd never steal a font considering there are countless free, open source alternatives out there. But I also refuse to pay an insane amount of money to type foundries because they decided that "page views" are a reasonable indicator of how much value I'm getting for a typeface.

I worked on websites where the cost of a license for the font was 70% of the total budget available for the entire project. That makes no sense to me. I love great typography. I love great typefaces. But a typeface is not all that important in the grand scheme of things. I can change a typeface on literally every single one of the hundreds of websites I worked on in my career and I bet 95% of the users would not notice it nor care cabout it.

We are all colletively getting pissed super quickly when software goes subscription but we're fine when someone is selling me a typeface that comes with 50000 page views and once those are "used" I have to pay again. For a goddamn file I self host myself.

It's just bonkers.

Killing innocent tourists visiting Israel is not an "act of war". It's terrorism. Barbaric terrorism moreover (parading with nude dead, maybe raped, women bodies in pick-up truck is not "war" just as executing children at point blank is not "war").

Refusing to call the killings of tourists teenagers girls (moreover several of which where non-jewish) "terrorism" shows one's true color. And it's the color of hate and anti-semitism with a slight touch of adoration for the devil (and I say that as a non-religious, non-jewish person).

You can fight for a good cause and still break the law. A system of law that selectively enforces laws is inherently flawed. The laws need changing. It was lopsided power against him. The law was still broken.

I wish Aaron Swartz had not committed suicide ahead of his many charges. I wish he had had his day in court to argue the illegitimacy of those laws in these cases in the first place. It wouldn't be the first time that produces a change in laws. We will never know, and must change the laws asap.

I had tinnitus when I was about 20 for multiple months after dancing in front of the loudspeakers of a club.

They gave me a TEBOFORTAN, as well as cortisone infusions over several weeks.

It was bad enough that I could not concentrate on learning for university. I heard before that psychology plays a big role, so I was trying my best to just ignore it and do something else than studying.

It completely went away. I can hear a very small ringing if I concentrate on it and its completely silent, but I had this for as long as I can remember (definitely when I was 4 years old) and I wouldn't call it tinnitus.
You're reading it wrong. Those would count as vacant.

That example hit 4%, but that’s a long way from 7.22 percent. It’s common for rental properties to be occupied by the same tenants for 10 years or longer, 7.22% of that is 8.7+ months which suggests the 7.22% is further concentrated around shorter rental periods.

It’s the same deal with unemployment, 7% is much worse than 4% even though the numbers aren’t that far apart because it’s a composite of a baseline and issues.
