But this is also AWS exerting price pressure on its customers. This move is an increase in price pressure, not a decrease.

If everything host on AWS becomes dual stack and gets first class IPv6 support after this move, that's a win for IPv6.

The price for v4 address is going to bob up and down as more networks and content providers adopt v6 and are able to reduce their public v4 usage to just their edges.

There will definitely be a long tail of v4, especially in the corporate world, but I think we'll get to 90-95% v6 capable within the next 5-10 year
Doesn’t macOS do something like this.
Full moderation logs are different than showing submitters how their posts have been moderated.

On HN, my understanding is that you (moderators) can penalize stories without the submitter's knowledge. But if HN instead disclosed that penalty to the story's submitter, that would help this community communicate better.

As for how it works elsewhere, if a YouTube channel removes your comment, you won't know [1]. Same thing on Reddit, Facebook, and X. So while HN is relatively small, the practice of withholding content moderation decisions from submitters/commenters is widespread.

> We could pose all of your same questions about, say, asbestos.

Indeed we could. And the answer we would find is that no, such requirements were not generally imposed on ordinary homeowners, but on manufacturers and construction firms, in the form of requirements not to use asbestos in future projects and to be forced to undertake remediation efforts when asbestos was found at an existing side that needed to be modified. And we would also find that, as a result, many of those same homeowners ended up with long term health issues from asbestos exposure because they were never informed of the risks or given any feasible way to mitigate them. Nor was any cost benefit calculation done in either case (homeowners or manufacturers/construction firms) to see whether the policy that was actually adopted could reasonably be argued to be a fair tradeoff.

Here at least we are being informed of the (claimed) risk. But there is still no cost benefit analysis being done that I can see.
Yes, it's been discussed a lot in that time period how bad the decline has been.

I also use assistant a lot and it too has fallen off a cliff. Assistant in 2016 was better than it is today. Crazy.
> When you hard cap them in any measurable way, they stop.

No they don't.

Satya has a much lower cap earning money at Microsoft then Bill or Balmer did.

Does that make him a worse CEO? Does it mean he is less dedicated?

Very few people who are competitive are competitive because of money.

They want to be known as the best, have the most power, the most influence, run the largest company, their name the most number of history books.

Money is a rough proxy for power, but, to give an example, pharmaceutical companies have an outsized influence in American politics versus how much their CEOs are worth.

Heck for the vast majority of companies their leadership has 0% chance of becoming billionaires. Most industries are too low margin. That doesn't mean the leaders of those companies still don't want to win in their chosen market.
There was an article I read a few years back (I think on Vice; I might be able to find it again) which more or less made this exact argument. They used the marketing material for trucks as evidence, pointing out that much of the material would show a vehicle "conquering" something like reaching the top of a rock formation or something.

Ever since reading that article I pay way more attention to vehicle marketing, video and photo. It's actually pretty common to see the "conquering". The camera is below the car looking up at an angle. Most commonly for SUVs and trucks.
EDIT: too late to edit the prior comment. Streamlit is one in particular where several people have requested for accessibility to be added to the roadmap, but it is continually declined. However, given how companies are getting sued for gaps in accessibility on websites, as well as public service providers, its hard to want to keep something in the tech stack that is unintentionally hostile to accessibility patterns and standards.
Of course, it's only inflammatory because async is a darling to more than half of HN :)

But if we get into that we'll trigger the flame war detection.
A kernel (because that's where interrupt handlers are located) can ensure that a thread is scheduled with N usecs of when it "ought to be" (which could be based on some sort of time allocation algorithm, or simple priorities or whatever other scheme may be in use. The kernel can say "oh look, it's been N usecs, let's check who is running and who is ready to run ... hey, time for Thread 2 to run". This is preemptive scheduling.

No cooperative scheduling system can ensure this.

Your example involves poorly designed code, which is not the responsibility of the scheduler. Its job is just to make sure that threads run when they "ought to" - it cannot protect against priority inversions in user space and ensure that RT guarantees are met (pick 1, and even then, you lose).
Does it matter? Crypto, arguably useless to 99.9% of US citizens is ~~using~~ wasting 2% of all energy.
Thoughts on XMTP
Efficiency is great!

However, most models suggest that electricity consumption will significantly increase over the next couple of decades. Efficiency isn’t going to go close to covering the extra demand from EVs and electrifying heating.

I don't find it at all difficult to imagine that someone like Google or Apple would sunset ipv4 when it reaches single digit percentage. They know no ISP would risk losing connectivity to them.

For example Apple has already been requiring that appstore apps work in ipv6 only networks since 2016. They can just keep tightening such rules until ipv4 dies.

It's naive to think that maintaining ipv4 (/dualstack) networks is (and will remain) cheap at large global scale like Google.

> Communism was tried and failed, its environmental effects (while bad) were therefore limited

I recall reading after the USSR collapsed that Poland was the most polluted country in the world. All due to the rush to industrialize and to heck with the environment.

Chernobyl is another case about communism giving short shrift to environmental considerations.
The meaning of the word “recall” has been eroded. At this point we would be better served by renaming it to a more descriptive term.

Dangerous defect notice.

“Initiated safety recalls require a manufacturer's action to announce and remedy the defects.

A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards.”

So to rewrite the prior example: Tesla issued a dangerous defect notice on all of the vehicles it has sold in the U.S. because some warning lights are too small to meet minimum safety standards.

https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls
You're literally saying "this shouldn't be a story just because Tesla" by ... pointing to a litany of examples of "stories where it's NotTesla".

IOW it's not a story because Tesla... it's just another vehicle recall story.
wdym by cross check each others work? Surely just reporting the final loss is good enough if that's the intention. The final end goal is lower loss anyways so it's not even a bad metric.

>This isn't complicated. You can just look at any COVID thread and see what a shitshow it is.

I hardly see any covid threads here. I happened to see the one of this week. It got 8 comments before being flagged into oblivion.

>That's not for lack of COVID expertise, though most of that expertise is probably Homer-melding-backwards-into-the-hedges when they see the thread.

You cannot have it both ways. Either you flag covid threads preemptively [1] along with a bunch of other users [2], or you try to learn from domain experts in these threads.

But making assumptions about what these experts would have thought of these threads, had they not been flagged down prematurely, is a weird leap of reasoning.

I do like this about go. And on Linux it arguably makes sense (I say arguable because DNS without CGO is still a common cause of issues and incompatibility).

But Linux has, to the best of my understanding said "yes, we are ok with users using syscalls". Linux doesn't think that glibc is the only project allowed to interface with the kernel.

But for other platforms like OpenBSD and windows they are quite simply relying on implementation details that the vendors consider to be a private and unsupported interface.

This whole thing is also separate from "is making libc the only caller of the syscalls instruction" a good and meaningful security improvement.
This isn't about Go vs C. This is about about indirection of system calls through stubs and also in a way about static linking vs. dynamic linking. Something like this could be done for C and others, but the kernel would have to walk the C stack to ensure that a) the callers of the system calls are run-time library stubs listed in the ELF, and b) that the callers of the stubs are listed in the ELFs (plural). Clearly this is easier to do if there's neither stubs nor dynamic linking, but that's not a reason to think Go is somehow superior to the rest.
The studies are of partisan lean over a relatively small number of years. The parties aren't that different than they were in 2008, but in the US young women are far more likely to vote for democratic candidates and to be more strident in that choice than at any point in time since data has been collected. Young men are now slightly less likely to vote for the democratic party than 15 years ago.

To mean there would be fewer. I suppose it depends on where the "extremely rich" line is drawn, but I feel like you must be extremely rich to start a project that normally only a government could start.

I'm pretty sure the US Government could have decided that for them as well. I haven't seen any evidence that they tried.

Sure any GPT can answer it, but when 10 or 20 candidates say exactly the same thing, it’s pretty obvious.

We’re asking for an opinion on a technical matter. The opinion itself doesn’t really matter, just that you have one and can communicate it.

Yup. Years of propaganda convinced most people that these are exclusive features of Communist dictatorship, when they actually existed in post war capitalist societies as well.

Fun historical fact: the father of the European Union, Jean Monnet, was the head of the “central planning committee” in France in 1950 (and he really wasn't a commie).
One of Bezos' best attributes was (is? no idea) knowing that he was not the best individual to make most of the decisions for Amazon. He had strong ideas about how to hire people, how to create "meta-strategies" and then let the people who he believed actually knew stuff make the choices. So actually, even within Amazon, he almost certainly was not the best person to make almost any of the decisions the company faced.

You final sentence is precisely on point, IMO.

> I've argued we should combine this with a move towards a worker owned economy

While I'm sympathetic to this ideal, I don't think it works. All you'd do is add all the inefficiencies of politics into business-level decision making. Democratic processes should be reserved for governing shared resources, like water and air, where independent decision making has pathologies, and independent hierarchical systems are good for optimizing efficiency and value for all other goods and services. We just have to ensure there's competition and fairness for good outcomes.

That doesn't mean it always makes the best decisions. It seems valuable to have those who are so inclined with enough resources to try things that the government can't or won't try. We've gotten so many good things through this process. I'm not saying the government shouldn't do stuff, it very much should.

Between this and the brewery map a few days ago I'm curious why these aren't rolled into OpenStreetMap. You could still have a dedicated site and project like this, it's probably a good idea for the specifically motivated people to be in charge of that data. Just use OSM as your data backend and have bigger reach.

Perhaps the database started too long ago and there's a licensing issue.
It is disingenuous to conflate artificial physical and artificial virtual environments. If this is the kind of thinking that is accepted in contemporary discourse without challenge, then it won’t be long before everyone becomes completely subjugated by mediocrity pretending to vanguard. I would take a mediocre physical couch over a virtual one any day. At least, my buttocks will have some cushion with a real couch.

What this whole AR/VR obsession is all about is concentrated tech capital jealousy afraid of anyone even appearing to be slightly more technologically advanced. It is all ego.
Nobody is stopping you from contributing more. In fact, contributions to charity are tax exempt.

Recall is a term of art in the automotive safety world, as you just posted. It isn’t eroded - if the government decides the fix has to be applied, that’s a recall. Whether or not the fix is OTA doesn’t play into the classification as a recall.

Elon is not "ruining his own money". He gained control over large quantities of economic and financial resources, and because of the way our society works, he gets to "ruin" those resources by choosing to direct them to the purchase of an asset followed by its degradation.

But there's an opportunity cost to all that: what might have happened in Elon was not in a position to command the utilization of the wealth that purchased Twitter? What else might that wealth have been used for? What might it have been accomplished?
I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

It seems impossible to perfectly allocate capital, of course there will be stupid and actively harmful allocations. But the government does both of those things too.

So yes it is legitimately good to have a really large number of actors allocating capital, to in ADDITION to the government.
Compared to a broken hip, literally anything is better. Compared to a healthy hip, a replacement is always worse.

Which is the precise reason we only do joint replacements after the joint is beyond repair. We don't do hip replacements on healthy 28 year old marathon runners. To do so would markedly reduce their quality of life in both the long and short term.

Again, most orthopedic patients will tell you that a replaced or repaired joint is never the same as it was when it was healthy. But living with such a damaged joint is so incredibly painful and difficult that anyone would choose surgery every time.

If your daily life is 9/10 pain, a 3/10 seems like a godsend. If you live your life with no pain, opting for surgery that leaves you with 3/10 for the rest of your life is a pretty bad decision.
Recall in this context means the government (NHSTA usually) has decided a fix is required. OTA or in-person doesn’t matter - what matters is the legal obligation of the manufacturer to provide a timely safety update.
This is an odd precedent to set, and I can only imagine it leads to US companies being more reluctant to setup EU officers.
What? You're ignoring all the lives he ruined to play with that company. Sure, he lost money, but he has plenty to lose.

> You're going to start or take over an energy company (SolarCity) and it's not going to cross paths with the government? Solar shouldn't be subsidized? Yeah ok.

I think there are reasonable arguments that solar subsidies shouldn't exist. But if you want to start a solar company what are you going to do? Not take them and also somehow contractually bar your customers from taking them?

These are weird arguments to make against a company.
A Texas Town's Misery Underscores the Impact of Bitcoin Mines Across the U.S.
That's true. Although when embarking on a brand new frontier without any empirical evidence available, one would assume there's ample theoretical evidence to make up for it. In this case both appear to be lacking.
Are you a tech generalist, or a failed specialist? Are you a Renaissance man, or a dilettante?

It's easy to identify as a generalist. How do you know if you're a good one? How can a hiring manager figure out if you're a good one?

You're being hired to do specific work, unless you're coming through a recent-grad or other entry-level pipeline. You will be evaluated on specific technical competencies, because that's harder to fake. You need to show your ability to master at least one stack, language, framework, system, or technical area.

Your specialized skills demonstrate prior mastery and an ability to do the kind of work they need you for. Your generalist skills will show through in the quality of your work and ability to influence broadly.

So no, nobody's hiring someone who specializes in being a generalist. But, they are promoting them.
Generational trauma is a big thing because of the lack of teaching to parent with both genders now working kids no longer get the same amount of time.

I think it should be a basic human right that any citizen of a country should be permitted to have a complete list of courts, their locations, their judges, and their claims to authority.
The fact that industry and special use cases like NASA are using it means that some consumer version will probably always exist, and if industry is finding uses for it, consumers might also find uses for it. VR could also fail catastrophically as a consumer product and just be something that's exclusively used by industry, but I don't see VR going away for good. I think it's carved out a healthy enough niche for itself at this point that some version of a VR/HMD industry is going to exist for a while.
That's a nice find. I think BLS leisure time data is from the American Time Use Survey [1] which I think is asking something similar to this questionnaire [2] on page 22.

I'm not sure that's saying household time. For example, when they survey a household it wasn't clear to me if they survey everyone in the household or just one person. If it's one person then it sounds like they collect how that one person (age 15+) spent their own time and if there were kids in their household.

So then it'd be accurate to say that individuals in households without kids watch more TV as a singular activity (the survey doesn't allow simultaneous activities).

In comparison Nielsen used TV viewing diaries and automated data collection meters. You could have the TV on in the background while doing chores and it would still count.

It's interesting that the 2009 ATUS survey [3] had a 2.82 hour/person average because that's fairly different from the Nielsen data (4 hours 49 minutes/person).

I wonder if this difference is people underreporting in ATUS or Nielsen overreporting or a factor of differences in limitations in ATUS (no simultaneous activities allowed, 15+ age limitation) or Nielsen.

Reminds me of SAE AS83519/1 series shield terminators, which contain a Sn63 solder ring preform and flux in the middle of a translucent PVDF heat shrink insulation that seals on both ends on application.

For conductors with robust enough insulation (i.e. at least 105 degC rated), and assuming you're not beholden to RoHS, they make for quick, permanent, production-worthy splicing with just a heat gun...and you can actually buy them today.
