Don't big auto companies have tons of plants in the China and are trying desperately to establish brand loyalty to all the newly middle class Chinese? Whats to stop China from seizing all these plants and outright kicking the companies out unless their parent countries let Chinese cars into their market?
Well I guess you have to write your own browser then, because I'm quite certain that the configurations that you like are not the same as mine.

It's also funny how you bring up innovation. The thing is plugins enable much more innovation because a plugin can be made by a single person with a great idea and relatively little knowledge. Just imagine everyone who wanted to try out some innovative new feature would have to build their own browser first.
A recurring aspect of any injustice or inequality in the world is the folks affected by it are told to fix when they're almost always powerless to do so. If we can all agree that it's not fair for folks to commute unpaid, why is it fair to have the burden on them to "negotiate better"?

Crap. I loved that campus.
It was. Even before it was more "bundled" with the JDK than "part of Java".

But, to be honest, that's a real nit. It's a standalone dependency, it's 4 lines in a POM file, it doesn't drag the internet with it, and it only relies on the JDK. So, while it's a large subsystem, it's a "low impact" dependency in terms of side affects and complexity.
> garbage men should be compensated over software engineers for having a nastier job

Honestly, I have always felt that this would be true in any reasonable society. I'm a software engineer and I frequently think about what an absurd power structure we manage to maintain, in which those of us fortunate enough to sit at desks can keep the lower classes oppressed in this way. It seems very unstable to me.
Is this the full article or it's only an abstract and the article is posted in your blog?
Necessary to cover increased costs and manage actual risk. Where there is a lack of competition or opportunity for collusion companies can and do exploit the situation rationally. Just because it is rational doesn't make it legal or ethical.

I did not distribute it. It was the height of megaupload. I don't think I ever torrented anything.

Also, I just thought about it, I'm on a plex server owned by a college friend since 2017, did I broke the social contract by uploading my CDs on it? Or by listening to CDs my friend group put on it. Let's be honest, it's mostly my CDs, I have a truly huge collection, but it was also music we got from the school's nfs, on /share/music. Did that broke the social contract too? Knowing that we have a law that tax every sales of storage, even reconditioned HDD or smartphones.
The EV market is slowing down in the US only because manufacturers refuse to make affordable EVs. Ie, the point of the article.

Toyota is going to get obliterated globally by Chinese EVs unless they change course very soon. Maybe they’ll hang on in the US for longer due to protectionism

I want this to be true way too much for it to really be true.
No disagreement - my point was that the adoption of Christianity all at once as the state faith, reduced religious tolerance, particularly in the early years.

But yeah that was part of what I was getting at - but I kinda just responded with my first thoughts off the cuff.

My broader point was that its very hard to have a multi-language, multi-ethnic, continent spanning empire - while also having a nascent single religion that ignores local customs.

Eventually tolerance under the new faith evolved to be similar to the old, but it was a process.
Nowhere have I said anything about the non-aggression principle. With regard to egalitarianism, the exercise of determining which freedoms are subservient to other freedoms is left to the members of the society. While I would suggest that something like the non-aggression principle is a good starting point for such a discussion, it is orthogonal to the idea of classism vs. egalitarianism as the two means of resolving the dilemma of contradictory freedoms.
The most obvious answer is people flew, drove, and studied less and so all the things people are bringing up are showing up worse than average after due to lack of practice. I definitely drive way less now / thenm
There's a really good Yale lecture on this, kind of long but interesting nonetheless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcIuAJ-jaSg&t=0

He makes an interesting point in a subsequent lecture on Islam. Because Christianity was persecuted early on and was a distinct entity from the Roman government at first, this is reflected in the beliefs themselves (e.g. "Render unto Caeser what is his" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar), which later contributed to the modern concept of separation of church and state

On the other hand, Muhammad was not only a religious leader but a political one as well The religious framework and political framework were more tightly coupled, giving us the slightly different overlap you can see in Muslim countries even today

Noticed something interesting a while ago:

By dry weight, most veggies are:

* Surprisingly high in protein. And

* Apart from those, energy contents mostly from sugars. Less so from complex carbs or fat.

So: mostly water, fibre rich, sugars + protein sources (+ vitamins & some minerals, of course).

Looked at this way, I'd rate potatoes not as vegetables. Compared to most veggies: almost no sugars, much more starch, different carbs/protein ratio, less fibers, few vitamins. Besides being unhealthy to eat if green ;-)

Another point: most veggies (even those that are normally cooked) can be eaten raw if desired. Definitely not recommended with potatoes.
Off the top of my head I probably only know the melody for fewer than half of the listed songs, though some of the others might sound familiar if I heard them. Mack the Knife may be the biggest hit on the list, since it evolved into a jazz/popular music standard and The Threepenny Opera is still regularly performed as well.

I wonder what songs from 2023 will still be popular or recognizable once they fall out of copyright some 100 years from now?

There are small fridges that use something like a peltier cooler for makeup or medicine. However, they seem to silently fail after a year of use. There’s probably a good brand out there, but all I could find were shitty Amazon no-names.
Fails hard to explain WTF it actually does. Would be cool if it would use AI to filter out sponsor segments or YouTube video that are actually part of the video. I doubt that is so at least explain what it does.

The US?

I didn't even drive until I was 27. I'm in my 40s now, and have friends my age who still don't drive.

While the car reigns supreme in most of the US, there are still parts where it's possible to get away without one.
That’s the problem right there. We never try to solve problems until it can’t be ignored. We’re tackling economic inequity the same way as global warming; by mostly ignoring it.
You just don't take it on the freeway, you use regular streets. I assume that's the point of having a 45 moh max, so you can go the speed limit on the vast majority of urban streets you would be traverse.
But what other sects was it tolerant of?

Being intolerant of an insurgent monotheistic faith doesn't mean that it was not broadly tolerant of other faiths.
i think most people know that ontario airport is not in ontario, because the airports that are actually in ontario are better known and not called "ontario airport".

just like most people would understand that if you said "london international airport, airport code CXYU" you probably don't mean heathrow.

Yep, they were very heavy and needed to land essentially at stall speed - which they basically did seeing as the stall warning chimed in moments before touch down - in order to allow for as much space as possible to stop the plane. I took from the article that their calculations were kind of hacked together with a number of overrides, so I guess they erred on the side of caution in case any of the assumptions needed a margin of error.

Amazing article. So well written. Kudos to the Qantas flight team, especially the pilot - they know their stuff for sure. And also kudos to the Airbus engineering team, that was such an epic win for redundant systems.

(It was interesting to see how stopping calculations were improved as part of the post mortem, for one.)
Well, no. Outfits like Facebook and Amazon can afford to hire attorneys to keep them in compliance with GPDR (or, more accurately, skirt around it).

Small website operators can't do that. Accordingly, many have banned EU IP addresses altogether.

The basic phenomenon is called "regulatory capture" -- the large player counterintuitively does not object to onerous regulations, because their smaller competitors can't afford to comply with them.

Happens all the time, in many different sectors of the economy.

With regard to FOSS, I certainly wouldn't work on anything for free that was likely to get me enmeshed in the legal system of another country.

If this legislation is as described above, someone's probably working on a FOSS license right now that allows the software to be used everywhere except the EU.

Dude, you absolutely don't. There are plenty of places in the US where you can take public transit, walk, and bike to get everywhere that you need to.

Just because you live in a miserable, car-bound, suburban hellscape doesn't mean that everyone else has to.
The persecutions were caused by two conflicting views of religion. Christians saw religion a matter of belief, and they refused to participate in rituals that they considered incompatible with Christianity. To Romans, religion was all about rituals, while belief was more in the domain of philosophy. By rejecting Roman rituals, Christians were rejecting the ties that bound the society together. They were therefore rejecting Rome itself. When Christians were persecuted, they were persecuted less because of their religion and more because of their sedition.
What? I think I might be defining back roads differently than you are.
Because its dead simple to machine a center and the designer did not factor in machinist/engineer/qa/facility incompetence.
It would add up weight wise, and it’s one of the simpler parts. Jet engines are high performance precise machines with many quickly spinning parts. If you can’t bore a tube correctly how are you going to machine a high efficiency, balanced turbofan system?

That said it seems like did have a poor process where a part could be out of spec and they had no good way to check it. As they mentioned about Swiss cheese, you want as many layers as possible, and checks like that are needed.
U.S seems to have adopted advanced protection against dumping of Chinese EV vehicles, via the signature climate law and languages in the inflation reduction act. Chinese EV have barely any market adoption in U.S.

Europe is where the potential massacre could be. The Chinese EV still have a small share of the market, but it is gaining. Leave it to brainless Europe to allow China to dump their overproduced EV and kill Europe's entire car industry. Not to mention the profit then gets funneled back into China supplying Russia's war against Europe, making Europe even weaker to fend of China's economic attack. effectively win/win for them.
You should be doing that for security updates.

It's interesting to see the negative reactions to this post, which makes me think there is some uncomfortable truth being expressed that hits close to home. I won't be surprised if some buecratically inclined take this to heart & foster buercratic innovation. That being said, I resonate with the post. I have no interest in being a manager nor do i wish to be managed...but am interested in mastery of craft. I noticed there is much complexity lock-in in the tech ecosystem offerings & strive to strip away these complexities to uncover at the heart of the functionality. Tech solopreneurs & small teams still have a profound impact on the ecosystem & are empowered to bring innovation as a tide that rises all boats...to distill the essential functionality & focus on the essential complexity (within my control) to improve our conditions. There's all sort of different people & we have the ability to practice what we love & bring value to others.

Edit

I'm sure Lachlan will find it amusing that this post was flagged on HN. It does help to have a thick skin in light of critique...especially in the game of innovation. It is difficult to respect someone in a leadership position who cannot handle a critique...just sayin
Imagine a human writer who grows up with certain experiences that make him biased toward a point of view. The human writer is not censored if he writes what he wants even if his writing is informed by his experiences, beliefs, biases, etc. The human writer is being censored if he knows he is not permitted to write about certain topics and, when people ask him to, he answers that he isn't allowed to share opinions of that kind.

If you agree with my take on censorship above, I find it hard to accept that the models today are anything other than censored. This is really obvious with pictures where you can tell that the model generated a picture, looks at it, and decides the generation is not appropriate and gives you a "I can't do that" message.

Censorship is also evident in the intent. When models are trained the intent is, presumably, to get the best data. When RLHF and similar methods teach the model not to express certain opinions the intent is clearly to avoid offense or violating political correctness. This is a classic case of censorship.
Ah, the plebeians are the problem. With more information, the plebeians will make incorrect decisions that make them more miserable. It is better to keep them in the veil of ignorance for their own good.

"Allegedly."[1]

I take it you skipped your Econ 101 course the day they went over “rent seeking behavior” and the distinction between accounting profits and economic profits. Economic profits (ie. excess profits) are a characteristic of markets lacking sufficient competition. Considering US antitrust laws haven’t been enforced since the Clinton administration, this finding on excess profits would not surprise any honest economist (ie. not on the payroll of a far-right think tank). The M&A spree of the last 30 years has been a mass pillaging of the American working class.

On the topic of Microsoft having done this far in advance of Sony; I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that Satya has an autistic child.

It's crazy that this Chinese EV push will decimate global oil demand, which will collapse Russia's economy faster. But China then has to support/supply Russia with even more war supplies/materials, which I guess make Russia super dependent on China?

But then at some point, Europe (if they're not stupid) will say no more to being economically attacked by China and military attacked by Russia, and Chinese EV sales to Europe collapses...

realistically, a 1000 lb vehicle that only goes 45 mph vehicle should _never_ be on the freeway in the first place. someone watching Netflix while half asleep in their cybertruck will murder them.

When you never outgrow your Ayn Rand phase, you will see someone working with "protocols" or "the JVM" (weird examples btw) as a bureaucrat or "scoundrel, a useless cog in the machine, a coward, a gold brick, a sower of chaos and a parasite". At least he is studying "successful bureaucratic reformers", like Putin. Okay.
You just quoted 3 purely hypothetical exploitable features vs, say, Chrome consistently being the last browser standing at PWN2OWN over the past 10+ years (and Firefox is usually the first to fall). I’ll take real world practical protection over theoretical attack surfaces every time.
Air traffic control seems like something that should be at the top level surveyed by humans but has many layers of automated computational safety built in. I imagine there is, but the idea that the safety of a plane is up to a single person at some point is unsettling. Having existed for many decades, the entire field should be far past the point of there being even a 0.000000001% chance of hazard.
