> it had been held for centuries[1] that shareholder-owned corporations also had responsibilities to society and the general public, as well as to their industry and their employees.

For centuries[0], governments were very limited, and other organized institutions of human life, like churches and businesses, held duties to the public at large.

Government spending as a percentage of GDP in the US, for example, remained in the single digits for most of its history[1] (outside of wartime), with a big bump post-WW2, then another big bump in the 70s with the Great Society programs, leading up to the current figure of a little over a third of the economy[2].

For an even longer view, government spending in the UK from the late 1600s and onward hovered around 10% with the same wartime jumps[3] for centuries, until the two world wars and the permanent expansion of the welfare state, hanging on around 45% now.

So, it's a very reasonable view to say that governments around the world started to take a much more sizable role in such "responsibilities" to society, and crowded out private efforts in those arenas. In effect, redistributive taxes are supposed to take place of those previously responsible.

Whether a crypto is built with non-scammy intentions has little bearing on whether it is used as the vehicle for scams. And a permanent, uncorrectable ledger as the sole truth of transfer of funds is perfect for scams.

Just curious....can you tell me what that means? I was actually looking at gnuplot earlier, but it always intimidates me.

One of the more interesting bits (as one of the backers, staring at my copy on the shelf now), is that the author asked for pictures of the book once you got it, and just the ones he's been comfortable posting in the updates are amazing. People's whole collection of antique computer history with the book open to the page about it, or propped up on a typewriter, etc. I sent one of my Model M, Unicomp, Thinkpad portable keyboard, Ergodox and recent dactyl manuform with the book.
What a thoughtful comment. Thank you for providing a valuable perspective that made me question how I view some things.
I've usually used nginx for this purpose, proxying requests to a 3rd party server but tacking on authorization headers, for example, keeping them secret from the client. This strategy's always works great for me, but I guess it's limited to fairly simple pass-through use cases.

This seems cool if there are more complex needs or configuration that can't be done with simple proxying and nginx rules.
Note: The title set off all my alarm bells for some kind of ragebait piece, but the title is ironic - this is actually a painfully thoughtful 1-hour exploration of the topic from a philosophical/political angle.

I really liked the beginning but personally am firmly convinced that autism is a serious biological problem/phenomenon that can only be understood by hard-science. It's true that like other disorders (depression, anxiety) it manifests in a wide variety of symptoms, but for sake of illustration if you ate a bunch of lead (causing a strictly biological problem) it'd likely manifest in a whole host of different ways among different people (one might be withdrawn, another might be violent).

Frankly if we're seriously concerned about understanding whether autism is growing, we should develop software-administered questionnaires and take annual samples, you'd only need 2,000 people a year to have a very significant sample.

Maybe I should figure out a way to offer my laser printer as an addition to my front yard "little public library". For the couple times a month I print, that wouldn't be bad for me, and if my neighbors could use it easily that'd be a win for everyone.
I have a mild rant on the notion of legal authority.

I think it should come down to intent. If this is an action purely done for the benefit of end-users with an honest-to-goodness attempt at no snooping around, I fail to see this as a problem. This is an example of government doing it's job to protect it's citizens.

I'd like to see this go a step further. I'd love to get an email or phone call saying that they noticed my router was part of a botnet, they remoted in to fix the issue, and (if applicable) run a software update to permanently apply the fix.

It concerns me that we possess so much skepticism around the idea that government _can_ act benevolently. This is extremely harmful as it prevents us from putting forth any meaningful guardrails around these kinds of activities.

We defer too much to the false idea that we're protected from tyranny by refusing to acknowledge we can have a government work for us.

Doctors are using it inappropriately to diagnose and advise treatment on their phones without telling patients. It is being rolled out in all manner of automated classification, huge amounts of behind the scenes healthcare involves manual review of charts for classification purposes that is associated with various streams of funding. Low level employees are turning to general purpose AI to assist with this, leaking data, not understanding how unreliable these tools can be for this. Billing departments are "secretly" using it to "refine" coding. Pretty much all of the dumb irresponsible things you can think of.

At Caltech, exams were typically open book, open note. The time limit on the test, however, prevented attempts to learn the material in the time allotted. Calculators were also allowed (though were useless on Caltech exams, as course material didn't care about your arithmetic skillz).

I suspect the way to deal with ChatGPT is to allow it. Expect the interviewee to use ChatGPT as a tool. Try out the interview questions beforehand with ChatGPT. Ask questions that ChatGPT won't be good and answering, like how a calculator is useless on a physics exam.

Money is a means of exchange or unit of account that in its essence represents real value, such as your labor. It can be used much more like physical shackles than mind control. Because people need to eat, people need housing, that's not an illusion. And money isn't inherently bad, the mind control is in the part where they convinced a majority that it's ok for them to keep the key to everyone's shackles.

In the end all the ways Bitcoiners thought the system would come after them never happened. Ironically they got exactly what they wished for and what critics thought could never happen. Because the establishment has a much easier way to suffocate emerging uprisings: Buying off the leaders and incorporating the movement into the mainstream. Crypto has gotten assimilated.

I don’t see KTV in the index (or Knight TV), but the space cadet keyboard has a lovely photo spread and two pages describing its effect on vi and emacs, its many modifiers and math keys, and some other facts. There’s two other small mentions; a pair of photos comparing its depth to an thin Apple Magic Keyboard and a homebrew keyboard inspired by it.

I took a flyer on this kickstarter and I’m really impressed by the results. It’s a beautiful labor of love. Incredible design and detail.
It will take 3 to 6 months to determine that a new hire is incompetent, especially if you're required to document their incompetence before firing them.
Expect to see prices rise to cover the risk then. Sepa chargebacks are even more payer friendly than credit transactions (which are already wildly payer advantaged) with no dispute resolution process even available to the payee before 2 months.

Effectively every merchant who accepts Sepa is extending credit to their customers. That may be the right policy choice but I can imagine it makes life very hard for small merchants.

I've had this happen too, with almost the same responses. It was even more obvious because I was able to see the reflection of their lcd backlight glowing across their face as they switched back and forth to answer the questions. I just directly asked if they were using an external resource to answer my questions. They said yes as if it was normal. I thanked them for their time as that was my last question.

Strongly disagree. Through 23andme, I was able to confirm that I have the mutation for the MTHFR gene, which explained why my vitamin B12 always ran low. Once I started supplementing with the methylated form of B12 and folic acid, I noticed a huge improvement in how I felt vs when I used cyanocobalamin for B12. Not to mention some very interesting side effects, like improved tolerance for caffeine.

You could try using aider [0], which is my open source ai coding tool. You need an OpenAI API key, and aider supports any of the GPT 3.5 or 4 models. Aider has features that make it work well with existing code bases, like git integration and a "repository map". The repo map is used to send GPT-4 a distilled map of your code base, focused specifically on the coding task at hand [1]. This provides useful context so that GPT can understand the relevant parts of the larger code base when making a specific change.

> That's why a property crash is the only hope for a return to a normal economy (where people run businesses, develop skills, do actual work)

Well, let's not actively hope for a crash. Lots of normal people who run businesses, develop skills, and do actual work suffered greatly during the last property bubble of the GFC[0].

For what it's worth, outside of the major metropolises where a combination of supply restrictions (principally via zoning) and overwhelming demand (stoked by natural and economic advantages as well as policy that induces home purchases), people running businesses, developing skills, and doing actual work are able to afford to buy land and homes. My barber, for example, with no college degree and no inheritance, lives on 10 acres. The catch? It's in an area not fancied by urbane types, and his house on that land is a mobile home, though he is saving up to build a "real" one[1].

[0]: And with this, it's interesting to study the effect that government policy had on pushing loans to people who had no hope of repaying them.

[1]: In many areas, building codes and zoning place a floor on the minimum price of a house, and it can be argued that this floor is too high.
> but in less formal contexts it also gets used a lot to describe stuff like "Heisenbugs"

There are pretty formal contexts in which it also means things like that! It's not about formalism, it's just about context.
“Utility” is the value I was looking at. I.e., they’ve added something (tests, insight, even just ease of use) that wasn’t available with the $10 version.
Do they have benchmarks?
Note of clarification.

This authors use of 'non-determinsistic' doesn't match the meaning of a Nondeterministic Turing machine used to define the complexity class NP.

There are many types of non-deterministic Turing machines, like a probabilistic Turing machine which flips a coin at each step.

But the 'maximally lucky guesser' or 'run all possibilities in one step' version of NTM's that defines NP is physically unrealizable.
So there has to be a point where the bank isnt at fault. Where you gave your OTC code to the guy anydesked to your PC and approved the transfer verbally.

I dont know about the citibank case, but the Australian government is teasing laws that will make the bank 100% liable in all fraud cases, responsible for 100% refunds. The idea is that this will incentivise the banks to build idiot proof security. I think it would more likely incentivise them to only have non idiot customers.

Not talking about Vitalik but about IPFS and about ENS:

- For IPFS see the other current thread on HN [1]

- For ENS I can say that it was and it is ridiculous. My company was relatively well known in the decentralized space when the ENS launched and obviously someone registered our name before us. This is not a support of the current DNS system but the "decentralized" nature didn't add any decentralized feature (e.g. DAOs) that enable you to protect your brand. It was decentralized as a bad anarchy is. This can be easily check on Reddit discussions about the issues I pointed. For example [2] and [3].

Somebody already mentioned it, but I got a decent laser printer with an ethernet port and have been happy ever since.

To support my laziness, I wired it up to SMTP and added myself as a contact, and added a share on my NAS, both of which are nice for scanning docs without having to mess around w/ flash drives.

I checked my purchase history, and I bought my M479fdn in early 2020. I've printed probably an average of a couple pages a month since then. I've never thought about ink, the paper hasn't jammed, I've never gone to print and find that it's wandered off.
>Close. We pay money to use other people's times _and_ resources (capital) and outputs (widgets)

If these other things still require time as an input to create them, isn't it still just time at the end of the day?
The replacement described involves the IPMI stack - this means that a separate controller on the server is responsible for exposing the serial-over-IP. You should be able to debug the kernel just fine since it operates separate from the main processor/OS installation.

Leaving aside cost, I imagine that the motivating factor is that when you have a large number of servers in a data centre, it is easier to create a network for the IPMI ports so that you can connect to any server's serial console over the network, instead of either having some kind of "crash cart" in the data center, or having to wire up a serial terminal server to the serial port of each system (which largely accomplishes the same thing as IPMI, but requires more hardware and another type of cable).

'I just got laid off': news startup the Messenger abruptly shutters after a year
> I don’t really want to test knowledge but skill

I do want to understand their knowledge. I'll preface questions with the disclaimer that I am not looking for the book definition of a concept, but to understand if the candidate understands the topic and to what depth. I'll often tell them that if they dont know, just say so. I'll start with a simple question and keep digging deeper until either they bottom out or I do.
We have 2 Brother printers at home and two in the office - they are a few years old. Never had an issue. The toner cartridges last an unbelievably long time, they have not once jammed. They are network printers, wired to a switch (router) - so any computer on our network can print to it. Any iOS device finds it and we can print to the with iOS too. iOS and Windows just finds them - no special drivers or software. We never installed the printer software with some bells and whistles - no need to. Windows just works with them. We would never buy any other brand. They weren't even very expensive. (The cartridges' hold toner - not ink) and yeah .. we can print on both sides of the paper.

If you want to technically peak at them - we just enter their IP address into a web browser and we can name them, see how many pages were printed, see how much toner emails, etc
Felt the same way about the question being unspecific.

I meant about the advice on learning he gives seemed decent.
Exercise while learning helps with retention. The episode was a joke, he got a few softballs and half the interview turned out to be in English. No idea about jujitsu or the timeline and haven’t watched it. Just examples since op gave zero details.
Minority shareholders who want clean air instead of more profit can also sue and win. Courts don't interpret fiduciary duty as literally profit; this is a common misconception. Management has to show they are acting in their their shareholders' reasonable best interests. In my made up example, clean air and profit are both in shareholders' best interests, and no reasonable court will rule against the company for going with either option.

Profit is an easy, objective metric. Optimizing it enriches the management personally because they're paid in stock. Most people, thanks to generations of propaganda, have come to believe they're legally required to optimize solely for profit. Consequently there is little risk in doing that instead of something else.
To use a slightly more extreme example .. if you were hiring someone to maintain a nuclear power plant, and when you asked them a question about what actions to take to avoid a meltdown, and they had to ask ChatGPT to figure it out, would you really be OK with hiring that person to maintain your nuclear plant? When they don't actually have the knowledge they need to succeed, but instead have to rely on external tools to decide things? If they need to ask ChatGPT for the answer, how do they know if the answer is right? You really think that person, who relies on tools, is just as good of a hire as someone that fully internally knows what they need to know?

Yeah, hiring someone to code a website isn't the same as maintaining a nuclear plant, but it's the same concept of someone that knows their craft vs. someone that needs to rely on tools. There's a major difference in my mind.
it would at least help with making voting the default, also it would be normal to insert it into a schedule for employers, have enough polling places, etc. (okay, okay, I know, of course it's terminal naivete, fascist cumbombs would continue to smear their nastiness all over anyway. yet defaults matter. laws matter.)
Limited-access tokens that you can give to others are often useful, but there are other ways to do it.

If your application is a monolith with an API, you're going to have to implement all the permissions yourself anyway, right? That includes the UI for setting up the permissions and generating the cookie, the code for checking permissions, and the code for actually doing the work. Might as well keep the cookies very simple and put the permissions in the database.

Once you have plugins with their own permissions, possibly running on their own servers, it starts to make more sense.

About ten years ago I went back and forth a couple of email rounds with one of his aides trying to get permission to use one of his cartoons ('Old dog, new trick') in a presentation to ~200 people, but I couldn't justify the expense.
