The reason is government regulation. I'm not saying that increased safety and emission standard are bad, but they're the main thing driving up car prices.

How can I assert that with confidence? Because all you need to do is to look up what the cars that are illegal to sell in the US, EU and countries that are similarly regulated.

Does the drug actually work that well or deserve the hype it has gotten? A $1000/month to lose 5-15% of bodyfat seems like a ripoff. A 270lbs person who weighs 240lbs will still be fat and now have to be on this drug for life. I could only see this being useful for vanity or cosmetic reasons, like trying to lose the stubborn 10lbs for getting into swimsuit season or something.
The problem is there's no way to differentiate on the consumer's end from well-prioritized internal spend while responsibly assuring quality where required, and just being a cheap ass business operator who's nickel and dimeing his own products into shit.

I was reading The Road to Wigan Pier (copyright 1937) by the socialist George Orwell and I was struck by how current a few phrases seemed:

[Machines] would even encroach upon the activities we now class as 'art'; [they are] doing so already

there is the horrible--the really disquieting--prevalence of cranks wherever Socialists are gathered together. One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words 'Socialism' and 'Communism' draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack, pacifist, and feminist in England. [snip] To this you have got to add the ugly fact that most middle-class Socialists, while theoretically pining for a class-less society, cling like glue to their miserable fragments of social prestige. For every person [at the I.L.P. branch meeting], male and female, bore the worst stigmata of sniffish middle-class superiority.

Establish Socialism--remove the profit principle--and the inventor will have a free hand. The mechanization of the world, already rapid enough, would be or at any rate could be enormously accelerated. And this prospect is a slightly sinister one, because it is obvious even now that the process of mechanization is out of control. It is happening [not] for any clearly understood purpose, but simply from the impulse to invent and improve, which has now become instinctive. Put a pacifist to work in a bomb-factory and in two months he will be devising a new type of bomb.

I think digital addiction is currently the most pervasive public health issue that is also the least recognized. Sure, we made documentaries like the social dilemma... But whatever... the numbers speak for themselves. Teenagers in the US spend an avg 8 hours/day on the screen.

In this industry people are quick to say "but it's a tool! It depends on how people use it!" But the reality is that we very well know how some specific demographics use it, and we know it's overall not good. Both because of the addictive component, and the bullying/graphic content, etc.

Hard disagree. I'm looking at a similar license setup for my upcoming project, and I'm going with AGPL because I want to ensure any _users_ of the software have access to the source code.

Nothing is stopping anyone from setting up a competing service and charging for it. The only thing they can't do is provide their _modified_ version as a service without providing the source code. Which is just the GPL's usual distribution clause updated for how modern software is distributed. Bear in mind that said source code could literally be a zip file that is emailed when someone requests; there's no requirement to post it publicly on an ongoing basis.

I don't consider myself a FSF zealot; far from it in fact. Most of my software to date has been permissively licensed. The difference in this particular case is I'm not just building a tool or a library, I'm building out a complete product and putting a LOT of my hard-earned time and energy into it. Enough that I want to actually put in writing that any modifications should also be open-sourced.

The secret text of Article 45:

> I have access to the near-final text of the regulation, which is not yet public, but was leaked to me by a confidential source.

‘qualified certificate for website authentication’ means a certificate for website authentication, which is issued by a qualified trust service provider and meets the requirements laid down in Annex IV; Evaluation of compliance with those requirements shall be carried out in accordance with the standards and the specifications referred to in paragraph 3.

Qualified certificates for website authentication issued in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be recognised by web-browsers. Web-browsers shall ensure that the identity data attested in the certificate and additional attested attributes are displayed in a user-friendly manner. Web-browsers shall ensure support and interoperability with qualified certificates for website authentication referred to in paragraph 1

Qualified certificates for website authentication shall not be subject to any mandatory requirements other than the requirements laid down in paragraph 1.

1. Web-browsers shall not take any measures contrary to their obligations set out in Art 45, notably the requirement to recognise Qualified Certificates for Web Authentication, and to display the identity data provided in a user friendly manner.

2. By way of derogation to paragraph 1 and only in case of substantiated concerns related to breaches of security or loss of integrity of an identified certificate or set of certificates, web-browsers may take precautionary measures in relation to that certificate or set of certificates

3. Where measures are taken, web-browsers shall notify their concerns in writing without undue delay, jointly with a description of the measures taken to mitigate those concerns, to the Commission, the competent supervisory authority, the entity to whom the certificate was issued and to the qualified trust service provider that issued that certificate or set of certificates. Upon receipt of such a notification, the competent supervisory authority shall issue an acknowledgement of receipt to the web-browser in question.

4. The competent supervisory authority shall consider the issues raised in the notification in accordance with Article 17(3)(c). When the outcome of that investigation does not result in the withdrawal of the qualified status of the certificate(s), the supervisory authority shall inform the web-browser accordingly and request it to put an end to the precautionary measures referred to in paragraph 2.

May depend on the country, but at least in Finland the account numbers have been unique across banks for ages. The first part refers to the bank (actually a branch at least back in the day) and the last part to the account within the bank. There was and is no need to specify the bank separately.

The mobile phone numbers had the same system. Three first numbers signified the operator, but the whole number it can now be transfered to another operator.

This is not hard stuff. The numbers aren't magic, they're just identifiers. We're not bound to mechanical routers or card sorting machines anymore.

I don't know what banking is like in the US, but having to deal with a UAE bank was a culture shock for me. This article made me understand why it's so shitty. No one seems to want to do their job. Everything — I mean everything — takes ages. The branch employees are utterly powerless. The only thing they can do right there and right now is cash transactions, everything else requires a form to be filled and signed and sent "to the back office" for the thing you asked for to maybe happen in "3 to 5 working days". I have only tried calling them once. They use a toll number, but then still try their hardest to "solve your issue" through an automated voice menu before you have any chance to talk to a real human. Writing to the right person directly to their work email sometimes gets your problems solved very quickly though.

It was a culture shock because I'm Russian and banks don't play as important of a role in our society because of the Soviet past. Yes, most of our population has a bank account these days. Yes, most people are paid by transfers to that account. But — our entire banking system was built from scratch in the 90s. Banks had to sell the whole idea of banking to people to begin with. So if you have an issue and you go to a branch to get it sorted, you do get it sorted on the spot by a branch employee. It probably also helps that many Russians "don't trust banks" so they'd go to an ATM on their payday and withdraw their entire salary and use cash for all their transactions. We've also never had checks, we skipped that entirely. We also have this nifty СБП system that allows you to instantly make a transfer from any bank to any other bank using just the recipient's phone number. Very useful for things like splitting bills. I was shocked to find out that most other countries don't have anything like this and even sending someone money within one bank is quite a process.
What is the extraordinary claim? If we look at the evidence from a neutral perspective with no preconceived notions, the evidence for a newer construction date doesn't seem particularly stronger than an older one. Modern Homo sapiens has been around at least 160,000 years so they could have potentially been building structures at any time after that. We really don't know how long it took humans to develop basic masonry and only a tiny fraction of the artifacts from the deep past have ever been found.

I fail to see how Bayesian priors have any relevance here. And numbers were assign are going to be largely guesses not based on real hard evidence.
Yes. The fact that they are so good at these things is why we might reasonably ask how good they are at making predictions about the world.

The fact that their predictions are not particularly good is therefore of interest.
> Individual House Representatives usually have high approval ratings from people who voted them in while Congress as a whole has a terrible approval rating.

Yes, that's true. (And the Senate is no different.) What does it mean?

I think it means that people do not realize the actual problem. They don't see the two facts you cite as at odds with each other or connected to each other at all. But they are. The reason why Congress can have such a low approval rating while incumbency reelection rates remain high are that people think it's all those other members of Congress who are the problem--if only everyone would listen to their members of Congress, all that stuff would get fixed. They don't realize that, if you send someone to Congress to fix something, and it doesn't get fixed, you need to send someone else. You can't keep allowing the incumbents to hide behind "it's not me, it's all those others" forever.
Of course they blame the mistake of the single contractor rather than their own inadequate system monitoring.

I didn't dismiss it by insulting it. I dismissed it because despite the "evidence" no one has seen consistent results. If IVM and HCQ are so cheap and widely available, why hadn't China and Russia reported any success using these drugs? What motivation does China have in continuing to buy MRNA vaccines and prop up American pharma companies? Both Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine have easily made generics, and yet China and Russia stuck with vaccines and saw no success with alternatives. Somehow the greatest minds of c19study.com came to great conclusions, but the people in charge of spending money and saving lives - in the West and abroad - opted not to use ivm.

But well in embedded space there is the another question of how things like IAR behave, which I'm too lazy to test now.
If you know about SAR, you know that banks can't share information about them or their criteria with the account holder. So the only reason to mention it is if you are angling to bribe an employee to break the rules.
And risk getting your account frozen "for no reason", really smart.
> The Fed is saying they'll defer to the Treasury on whether debt is legally issued.

Yes, while the Fed continues to do various things behind the scenes to make sure that the Treasury can plausibly claim that the debt is legally issued.
The issue is they aren't as good at it as their parents, i.e. older millennials and Gen X. There's this expectation that younger generations are just better at tech due to being young, because a considerable portion of Gen X and Millennials were enthusiastic and hopeful about technology, and so embraced it and the Internet when they were younger.

The risks are certainly a bit more dire these days than back in the 80s and 90s, but there was also just a more careful culture. Platforms these days want you to share everything, and so kids just fall for it because they want genuine connection... but can't find it.

I’m not so sure. HN is vulnerable to “don’t talk about my favorite sports team that way” problems, wherein sometimes we get our selves confused with our favorite team and get defensive when discussion about an organization is misread as attacks on our selves (for a variety of examples, review some of our cryptocoin or non-OSI code licensing discussions). If they’re seriously expressing their beliefs, then taking that seriously is a courtesy they deserve. So I chose the best faith interpretation, to respect their beliefs as stated rather than risk insulting their intentions or beliefs by declaring it as hyperbole, and offered a tidbit of hard-earned wisdom from this old graybeard flamewars refugee. If it’s not applicable, that's fine, no harm done.
My impression is that Copilot mostly saves me a lot of typing; even on top of using Nvim. Mostly those little refactors where some complex statement is moved partially to a separate variable. On personal codebases, also sometimes helper functions which are on the edge of what could have been in the base language.

It's a problem when your toolchain or target changes, and assumptions you were making (explicitly or implicitly) about 'int' now fail in difficult to understand ways.
> The problem wasn't MISRA, but your management.

Agreed.

But it was my customers management. And the customer is always right yada yada.

So instead of using MISRA to help produce a better deliverable, it gets used as cudgel, a blunt instrument with which to beat programmers with, to create metrics that show the managers are effective at managing.

In these cases, code quality necessarily suffers as a result. Because your resource constrained team has to spend more and more time on busywork.

In my mind, LINT is a better tool than MISRA, because all tools can and will be abused by management, but some tools are more easily abused than others.
Yes, agreed. A couple things I've observed:

People naturally rebel against institutions. To a degree, it's healthy. As you say, a certain form of liberalism is institutionalized.

At the same time, the reactionaries (the right) has highly strategic, effective messaging: As you say they portray themselves as the oppressed; white people in the US are oppressed! A recent poll by CBS or Pew supported that it was a widely held view, at least on the right.

Also, they use the same tactics very frequently, in lost of situations:

First, just follow basic military tactics and stay on the attack; always keep the initiative and remain inside the enemy's OODA loop; force them to respond and reorient rather than plan and attack. You can see their attacks are often completely absurd, but it doesn't matter - they stay on the attack, keep the initiative, force you to respond rather than do anything effective. And their supporters love it, even knowing it's lies - they are winning the fight ('owning the libs').

One way they do it is to find their own biggest weakness (e.g., racism) and accuse the other side of it. Not only does it follow the tactics above but it disorients the enemy, and it floods the public space with so much BS that you can't talk about the topic. Try talking about racism, for example.
Nitpick: Cypress was bought by Infineon
> On most topics, there is NO candidate who is for doing things outside of the current Overton window.

Sure there is.

They aren't likely to be a major party candidate, but then, that's pretty much true by the definition of the Overton window -- if it is supported enough to be a tolerable position for a major party candidate that isn't an extreme outlier within the party, then it is not outside the range of acceptability than the Overton Window refers to.

(Of course, the major point of the Overton Window is that, in a system with elected lawmakers, laws largely aren't set by lawmakers preferences, but by forces, largely external to lawmakers -- including both concentrated interest groups and grassroots activists -- that shift the Overton Window and set the bounds for what it is practical for lawmakers to support.)
Kind of demoralizing story (but a good read). Even a renowned litigator with the right friends and plenty of money was only able to secure (potentially partial) payment for the treatment? The system doesn't even allow for damages?

I really like the example gwern provided:

Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration. - Stan Kelly-Bootle

The examples you listed above are what I would call 0.5 solutions. To me, these are straightforward co-ordination problems that failed to find a solution and then devolved into optimization problems that failed to find the right local minima because the problem formulation was flawed in the first place.

Co-ordination problems aren't fuzzy and nice almost all the time. A lot of solving co-ordination problems is getting two people to agree to knife the third to make the problem go away.
That's what was tripping me up. I thought the last line was on the same card, so the close of the comment wouldn't be read correctly.
Imho, the test should be "Is targeted advertising barely profitable?"

teenagers can be good at detecting low quality content, but they aren't very good at knowing when they're being advertised to (https://theamericangenius.com/business-marketing/teens-cant-...) and they're basically wired to be impulsive and make poor choices.

(https://www.healthline.com/health/teen-brain-development) It's why they are so vulnerable to oversharing (including passing around nudes).

True, but most were abolished much earlier than that. Some countries did not enforce them, or very rarely enforced them prior to formally abolishing them. Punishments were also far milder when they were enforced.

In the hundred years before blasphemy laws were abolished in the UK there were seven prosecutions, some unsuccessful, and some were private prosecutions.
