It’s also just impossible. To pay an amount that even meaningfully improved the lives of 10% of the people it was aimed at, we’d bankrupt ourselves. If your government printed enough money to give let’s say 12% of the population an amount to make up for lost income over several generations, it probably wouldn’t help much, and even if it did, that money would be worthless due to hyperinflation and government bankruptcy.

It’s a well-meaning idea that’s proven stupid by even elementary school math. Anyone who suggests it is clearly incapable of rational though.
> nuclear kills fewer people than everything else

For some reason, this seems to have omitted solar power from the list of examples of technologies that have a higher body count than nuclear power. In the meantime, let's examine how many cities have needed to be evacuated due to the catastrophic failure of solar plants.
Interesting to mention the Raspberry Pi. I saw an article just a day or two ago that claimed that the RpiOS was stated by and ran on top of RTOS. That's particularly interesting because at one time years ago, I saw suggestions that Linux could run as a task on an RTOS. Things that required hard real time deadlines could run on the RTOS and not be subject to the delays that a virtual memory system could entail.

I don't recall if this was just an idea or was actually implemented. I also have seen only the one mention of RpiOS on an RTOS so I'm curious about that.
Effectiveness of what? Price fixing?
They know that it works by competitors “working together”, it doesn’t matter whether they communicate via language or through prices combined with a service that both explains how it works and dictates how they all behave.
I haven’t had any issues with longhorn in a long time. Most issues I run into are network related, in fact, I tend to find a lot of cilium bugs (still waiting on one to be fixed to upgrade, actually).
> Why would a phone company know a person's SSN?!

As Brit-expat+US-resident (since 2012) T-Mobile got my SSN when I signed-up for my
pre-paid first mobile phone plan in 2012. Paying $50/mo was quite a shock when equivalent (or rather: far superior) service was available in the UK on a PAYG (not even pre-paid!) basis for £10/mo.

...and now I'm on a $110/mo postpaid plan because eventually you get tired of the limitations and just grin-and-bear-it.

All the Places Swift Will Go. Ben Cohen, Swift Team Manager @Apple –> Changelog
There's some I've ran across that are much worse than average. The 2 I've seen are:

1. Magusitis: thinking you're some grandaster bla-de-bla, and that you can do anything. Basically, self destructive going to your head.

2. Divination paralysis : becoming so hesitant to live life, and instead doing tarot/pendulums/etc for any question, no matter how trivial. Those types do nothing out of FOMO, and therefore make the fear that they missed out, causing more of it.
Oh this is hilarious. Not only do you confirm that you wouldn't support them doing what they choose to with their service in the absence of government intervention, you would actively support the same government intervention you pretended to be against if it meant you could force them to do something you benefit from.

If you wanted to prove that consistency wasn't exclusive to me you've done a pretty poor job. Combing through someone's account to avoid a yes or no question is especially pathetic.
> The hell were you doing with 28 nodes to run an uptime tracking app? Did you try just running it on like, 3 nodes, without K8s?

I've seen this before.

It happens when the people who manage the infrastructure are completely decoupled from the developers. The developers determine how much CPU / memory is "needed" for a given workload, and the infra team just adds it. Developers aren't responsible for infra costs. Infra team has limited ability to control costs.

Add a few years and teams with their own container-based applications, Kafka, Elasticsearch, multi-instance Postgres, etc., and soon enough, it's a 28 node cluster and costs are out of control. Infra team can only do so much, and devs aren't incentivized to help, either. Everyone's shrugging their shoulders because now it'll take significant refactoring and cross-silo work to actually fix.

If they told us what was running on those 28 nodes, we'd point that out immediately. But it's not just happening at this company. I've seen this pattern many times.
Here's the long term thinking though: if you can't make nuclear power plants economical in the short term, there is no long term.
I can certainly see ways a third party company could help allow companies to engage in anticompetitive behavior. IANAL, but I expect proof of anticompetitive behavior resulting in harm to workers would need to be demonstrated. For instance if the third party software used previous pay data from a different employer (not disclosed by the applicant) to keep a salary below market rate.
Agreed. Way easier to optimize this one thing than redesigning your application every few years...

The article also says that magicians have less mental health trouble than the general population. As a null hypothesis, I would think that the Subway Sandwich Artist will score similar to the general population?

Interestingly, the article says mathematicians also have less trouble. I guess they haven't looked into logicians, like Gödel or Russell or Cantor etc. This formal foundation of mathematics had a reputation for having mentally health challenged practitioners. Whether she attracts troubled souls or makes them, is not clear.

Sure, I edited the above comment. Fortunately punishment for not colluding is not actually a necessary feature of cartels, only the collusion is. Which this obviously is.
Today, we punish people by taking away their money. Taking away someones money should not doom people to poverty over this kind of stuff! I am not saying kill all landlords here. I am saying that the landlords profited too much and it must be made fair.

There should be no 'punishment' of the landlords truly, I am saying we make a system where landlords can not unjustly profit from us (and I do speak generally here).

Stuff like this is what causes the housing crisis, it must be dealt with systemically, not by giving a few people none-the-wiser a lesser life.
My computer which has had a legitimately bought Windows 10 license and upgraded to Windows 11, started complaining about being deactivated after I swapped to a dedicated TPM due to freezes caused by the integrated AMD one.

Attempting to re-activate just gave me some weird technical error that Google, no shock, produced no useful results for after hours of searching, so I just used a crack and was fixed within minutes.
What would be the other one?

It seems that with uBlock origin enabled in Firefox, I was unable to fill out either of the 2 donation forms on the page. It wouldn't let me fill in my Name in the first form, nor would it let me enter a custom amount in the 2nd form.

I disagree.

There was a "why X" question, and then an equivalence was observed, saying "X = Y" (which is useful, to be sure), but at the end of the process, there is still only one "why" question — "why X" and "why Y" are now shown to be equivalent, but the question remains unanswered.

Maybe we disagree on what "why" even means, though (:

Is it possible you had the "Edit your details" page open and your web-browser "helpfully" auto-filled the form with her details and you submitted the form without noticing?

It gets worse: there's a lot of web-apps out there (both SSRs and SPAs) with <form> elements for personal details which are in the DOM, but "hidden" by doing tricks like `position: absolute; left: -99999px` inside a div with `overflow: hidden` (instead of doing something like `display: none;`) - or have the form hidden by using a z-index behind some curtain/cover element - and I've seen browsers auto-fill those fields and they get POSTed and cause a data overwrite on the server without the user being aware.

It's a fun way to steal PII from people: have a random public webpage that contains a registration form with all kinds of personal details, but has HTML+CSS such that it's visually obscured from the user, but the browser thinks it's a fully visible form, and simply yet the browser autofill it and submit it using JS (getting around the "user must interact with the page" filter by binding it to a big pink button that says "click here to see dancing bunnies!").

Browser auto-fill is dangerous.

The paper mainly concerns itself with a sample of magicians vs another of the general population (with matching age, sex, etc). The second part compares magicians with artists, actors, comedians, poets, musicians, and a general population.

Personally the most suspicious part about this is the O-LIFE questionnaire; it tests for things like "unusual experiences", "cognitive disorganisation", "impulsive nonconformity", "Introvertive anhedonia", and a bunch of other things that are reminiscent of all the non-replicable personality research from a decade ago.

O-LIFE was developed in 1995, well before replication crisis questions started popping up, so who knows.
That is categorically not what "Which they can only do for unencrypted traffic" means.
The credit checks, the carriers would tell you, are to try to protect them against people who sign up for service with a "free" phone on a 3 year commitment (phone paid for in part by 36 installments of credits) and then they stop paying the bill. Sure the phone will be blacklisted and remain SIM-locked, but could still be used on Wi-Fi and either way the carrier can't have it back and is therefore out their cost of the phone.

Now, as for why they still do the same credit checks when you bring your own phone, I suspect "Because F you, that's why" is the gist of it.
As a former DBA and optimization expert, the more appropriate response is NOT "add more indexes", but rather to profile and analyze your query plans first, then make decisions off those; e.g. a long running query might be causing deadlocks, another query can be optimize with different joins or ctes, etc.

Adding indexes can increase I/O time (more writes), increase DB file sizes (more stuff to store) etc, which are not inconsequential. Sometimes it's also as simple as moving indexes to a tablespace stored on an SSD.
Are they accounting for all of the labor costs of managing stuff in their stack that they previously deferred to AWS, like OS imaging/patching, backups, and building your own external services instead of whatever AWS had available?
I think it was dealing with the myriad different environments they could be deployed in. I’ve done a lot of sysadmin work, and I can tell you that a lot of companies just don’t have a repeatable environment. That said, my suspicion is these days, with a good container type solution, if you maintain that, and support just what’s inside that boundary, that can go a long way to mitigate calls. Of course, I love containers until they break, especially when they break because of some implied dependency changes.
Disagreed, it sounds like you haven't tried.

>I hope people stop putting flat earthers into this huge group and just say they’re idiots, that they’re dumb and we should just throw them off the edge. If you don’t have a conversation with them, and call them stupid, that only entrenches them in their belief. You want a society that can accept and trust science, but science needs to do a better job of communicating, and people need to be a little more accepting of other people’s beliefs, and not be so black and white about right and wrong.

This acceptance nonsense needs to go. Flat earth people have a mental illness that nicely fits the definition of idiot. Accept them for what they are and move forward with life.
you know there's this great abstraction over files we came up with in the data world called 'tables'..
I am not saying the solution here is by giving people dollars. But creating a system where landlords (by disallowing this kind of price centralization) can't screw over their tenants.

And saying that people who argue for reparations are incapable of rational thought is quite rude.
It says $10 now. I think it was a glitch.

> I am saying that the landlords profited too much and it must be made fair.

There's for better or worse no law against 'too much profit' in the general case. How would one define 'too much'? A certain margin? That has historically led to merchants increasing their costs so they can profit more in absolute terms once the relative profit cap is met.

Seems like the answer is just to allow more construction and densification, which in turn creates a more competitive market for housing. If they then tried to aggregate, roll-up and collude they would fall under the Sherman act no?
This fact either make it 100% a cartel or is actually false and keep being repeated on HN for some reason.
Lawyer here. Hard disagree. The software is sold for the purpose of reducing competition, and gives advice on how to best achieve that. Everyone colluding is buying and using the software with a goal of not competing with each other.

That is just about a textbook case.

You can remove the software. Imagine you all pay someone to write a number on a piece of paper that gets posted on a light pole once a month. You don't get a say what the number is, but you all agree to set prices at that number 80% of the time.

This is illegal. Even if you remove the 80% and say "we recommend you use this number 80% of the time to maximize your non competition", it would be illegal

This is not a close case. Fixing the price this way is illegal.
Agreeing not to compete at all is illegal.
It does not matter if you get someone else to set the price. At the point you all agree not to compete, you've clearly violated the act.

As for whether it's per-se illegal, per-se illegal went out the window on basically all illegal acts under the sherman act over the past few decades, except a few remaining forms of price-fixing.

But you would still win the cases under the rule of reason anyway, and it would not be close there either.

People seem really hung up on whether they agreed with each other explicitly.

They don't have to. Conspiracy suffices. Tacit agreement is not illegal, but it has to be truly tacit. This is not. As I said elsewhere: it is illegal for them to conspire to not compete matter what the form of the conspiracy.

However if they just aren't competing, you can't order them to compete.

This is a clear case of the former - they are conspiring towards a common non competition goal. They knew what would happen if they conspired this way.

It's like trying to avoid a conspiracy to commit murder charge by saying you never explicitly agreed to hire a particular hitman, you instead just followed the directions some software gave you when it said "in order to maximize the possibility of your husband being dead, we recommend depositing at least five million at the following address". Good luck with your claim that you didn't agree to anything with anyone - you were just maximizing some probabilities.

Hell, i bet when they do discovery the company has not been as careful as they think, and there are chats/emails about how successfully they've been able to destroy competition or raise prices or whatever.
Because there always is.
So to be clearer.

Having an AWS certification is not a requirement or even that important to get a job at AWS in the Professional Services department. Depending on your job position you are required to have certain certifications once you get there.

I now work for a partner and you are required to have a certain number of “certified individuals” to maintain partnership status. But even then, certifications never came up in my three interviews after getting “Amazoned” a couple of months ago.

But then again, after having AWS ProServe on my resume and having been a major contributor to a popular open source project in my niche, door opened for my automatically.

It's at the very least remotely true, if exaggerated

The OP was unclear, controlled units are certainly not "locked into" any price. To your point:

base rent is established for each apartment and adjusted every two years to reflect changes in operating costs. Owners [...] are entitled to raise rents the [..] the average of the five most recent Rent Guidelines Board annual rent increases for one year renewal leases [...] until they reach the MBR

Owners are so anxious to get tenants out (so they can start the gouging) that they offer tenants in controlled units buyouts to leave.

> That's right, an unknown way. So we know the internal structures of computers and their programs, but we don't know the internal structure of humans and how that leads to sentience, but somehow this translates into having good reasons for thinking the relationships in computers are not isomorphic to or meaningfully related to the unknown structures that lead to human sentience? Don't you see the big blank there? This just does not follow and is exactly the first point I made in this thread.

It absolutely follows. The evidence for consciousness is subjective human experience so it makes sense to assume that other humans and living things have consciousness (because living things are all related to each other).

Meanwhile it doesn't make sense to assume that a computer running some program is conscious just because it mimics human conversation. It isn't evolved life and doesn't have the same kinds of structures as evolved life.

It would be unbelievably weird if we reverse engineered consciousness without understanding how our bodies generate consciousness.
I remember those days. You didn’t text ‘Hey’, you did your best to cram a whole conversation into 160 characters.

The US Navy's demand for reactors is insensitive to cost. The tactical considerations of needing to refuel only once per decade (and in the case of subs, being quiet) outweighs all other factors. What works in the context of the navy doesn't really have a bearing in the context of commercial power generation.

This software is collusion, and anyone using it today should be penalized. I don’t care what excuse they have, it’s clear to someone with half a brain (most landlords have at least half) should realize software that fixes prices for you based on local demand is going to be collusion. It’s pretty clear how that stuff works, the only unclear thing is if there is a loophole or judge which will let the landlords off in favor of the zombie economy over actual humans.
