Part of the problem is that software itself can be infinitely reproduced without paying for anything other than electricity, storage and internet. Piracy is inherent to the existence of software; as long as we're distributing software along the lines of implicit agreements, there will always be an explicit reality that exists regardless of morality.

Interestingly, this is the on-ramp to perceiving piracy as a services problem. Pirates do pay for stuff when they feel like they're getting their money's worth. Therefore the goal shouldn't be minimizing the irreversible reality of software distribution, but instead creating more attractive and innovative delivery platforms.
If our variable here is position (which I'm assuming since the spring rate is proportional), wouldn't the damper settings be a coefficient of the derivative term?

For the same reason credit card interest rates are regulated: there's an asymmetry in bargaining power.

I'm on a 5 years old phone with Android 14. The OEM stopped the update on Android 11 but the Custom ROM community is going strong. Not only do I now have the latest software that works smoother, but also better camera with GCam, no ads systemwide, better privacy controls through Warden and other similar apps.

I just tried similar queries as they show on their screenshots with Kagi. Basically asked it the exact same question.

While it answered a general "yes" when the more precise answer was "no", the motivation in the answer was perfectly on point and exactly the same things.

Ask HN: Do you ever feel inadequate?
I am a postgrad student that works in a local compsci consultant company. Throughout my academic and brief work career i've met plenty of brilliant people, people that where elastic with their mentality, mathematicians that could prove anything they wanted to, coders that had a keen mind for problem solving... and then there is me, i have a few skills in regards of programming, i can sort of compose some music, i can structure a few things in a mathematical proof but... i feel quite inept.
I know that those things don't define me as who i am but... well... i feel like they are necessary in my career path (except for the music production, that is for me :D)

In the preface to Sussman and Wisdoms Functional Differential Geometry they state, "One way to become aware of the precision required to unambiguously communicate a mathematical idea is to program it for a computer."

I bring it up now because natural language is just so difficult to employ in describing a concept that is itself a distillation of its description unambiguously. You can /say/ a mathematical operation is 'associative', but how do you /define/ associativity without just giving the mathematical expression?

All that to say, it's difficult to communicate these ideas, but I am unsure what your message here is?

I find what you wrote above to be an accurate account of the development of science, but I fail to see why it warrants the exacerbated tone or how it applies to what's being discussed.

What model is being applied here? What area does said method 'work' in, and how does the problem in question 'step outside the area [the] model provides'?

What model do you prefer for vacuum energy? How does it accurately model observation while affording a vacuum energy of 0?
Not sure what is hindering you talking about it. You seem to be proud of it.
You want to risk pool a specific cohort of people. You want the pool to be as large as possible without masking clear adverse indicators. For instance, from an example downthread: you probably don't want to pool people with trampolines in with everybody else. Most people don't have trampolines. To an insurer, the sole function of a trampoline is to generate lawsuits. If you pool trampoliners together with everybody else, you necessarily raise everybody's rates to subsidize trampoline lawsuits. Better to factor the trampolines out and price them directly.
Hmm, works like this in many places. That is 6 different infractions. Probably also means suspended license.
... and the answer to that is the charge-off rate on a prime credit card portfolio is currently around 2%, whereas it's 55% for payday loans.
> I thought risk pooling was the point?

The point is pooling unpredictable risk. You don't know ahead of time if your house is going to flood. You do know ahead of time if your house is on a flood plane. Therefore, people with houses on a flood plane pay more for flood insurance.

The alternative is that low risk customers can't get insurance because they'd have to pay the same as high risk customers and that isn't worth it. Additionally, then people build tons of houses in extremely high risk areas because they can buy insurance for the same price as someone not doing something stupid, which is a moral hazard. Existing regulations have already caused this to happen in many cases.
Sony never had an IP stable as strong as Nintendo, their exclusive have been selling like hot cakes this generation and lead their selling lists, and sales of respective consoles shows a clear preference from gamers.

At the end of the day, my point is not based on only my preferences but the actual numbers. Look up Xbox head he himself says as much : the last Gen was the worst Gen to lose, and they're terrible at making their own games.

No! My comments re: Ontario pre-court conference, were meant to highlight a reaspn why this might have been settled before small claims coirt.

I suspect a similar thing happens in the UK, and that forced conference ensures companies must hear reasoning, arguments in full before the case.

In Ontario, it's very informal. You just talk. The retired judge only intercedes if it becomes heated, or runs long.

It helps solve things.

They're ALL raising rates. You might be able to change to a cheaper one this year, but next year your cheaper company will have implemented a 20%+ increase.
I think the most common reason is that insurance companies try to attract new customers with lower rates / discounts and welcome gifts. Switching every year means a new insurance company spends their acquisition money on you every year.
I hear this all the time, but I never see any support for it - what exactly are these radical leftist ideas that have taken hold of our politics? And, between the two parties, which one do you believe has shifted more in the last say, twenty years?

What we are actually seeing is center-right people feeling homeless and joining the Democrats, or at least no longer seeing themselves as Republicans. Bill Clinton shifted the Democrats a good distance to the right and in the time since he left office, it’s been more a very, very gradual retreat back to more traditional positions of the left. Don’t mistake campaigning or messaging for actual party policy.

And yet there is a never ending siren call by large companies to increase the H1b quota and their ilk. They will not be happy until American residents go full MAGA.
Insurance in general is more heavily regulated than this. There are a few reasons: because society doesn't want these companies racing to the bottom on price and leaving their customers high and dry when the catastrophe does hit, because society finds insurance pricing based on certain personal aspects, such as race, odious, and because the government mandates some types of coverage and they don't want to let insurers rinse customers that are forced to buy their product.

For all these reasons, insurers typically must justify rate increases.

But their recommended hardware makes it pretty clear Qubes should preferably be run on open firmware and with ME as broken as reasonably possible (as has already been pointed out in the discussion here).
Einstein got his Nobel price for his work on the photoelectric effect (basically a small part of what became quantum mechanics).

Special and general relativity were too new and revolutionary (and admittedly strange) so that at the time, safer bets were considered for the price.

The strangeness hasn't gone away, relativity does still take some getting used to, as does quantum mechanics. But all of those are proven scientific theories backed by experimental and observational data such that they are accepted as true within the margin of error for the corresponding data (as always in science). All predictions that could be tested stood true, we just have some predictions for extreme cases that are contradictory and currently not confirmable by experiment or observation.

Scientists, even back then, with time and data, came around to accept relativity.

Dark energy isn't like that. Dark energy is an observed problem in cosmological data we cannot explain. The expansion of the universe in some phases of it's development is faster than it should be. When we plug that data into our current cosmological theories, it looks like the energy content of the universe is higher than it should be by observation. Because it is energy and have not been able to observe it, we call it "dark energy". Explanations such as "the data is wrong", "the theories are wrong, here is a different one", "gravity is different, try this alternative to general relativity" and stuff like that haven't yielded any satisfactory theory that would fit the observations. So we are stuck with this problem called "dark energy". We haven't solved it yet.

Basically we are like before 1900, where there was no quantum mechanics, just some strange experimental results that called for a new theory that somebody had yet to invent.

What's actually happening in Florida is the insurance companies are Janus entities. One part is an insurance company that's subject to rate regulation and the other part is a consulting firm that gets paid large sums of money from the regulated company and that's where all the profits live.
Yes.

1) Unique experiences create memories. Experiences you choose for yourself are more likely to result in happy memories.

2) More difficult to explain, it's just nice to be nice. Emphasis on "little bit" since you want to avoid feeling like you are being taken advantage of.

3) All purchases lose their novelty at basically the same rate. Cheaper treats means they can be more frequent and therefore give more of a novelty boost.

4) The satisfaction of avoiding a painful chore is great. This one is the hardest, because time is expensive.
You're describing civil disobedience, and its moral justifiability is a well-research topic of ethics.

In my understand, there are several elements for something to be civil disobedience, and therefore possibly morally justifiable: (1) having exhausted other means, (2) using it for political purposes (in the sense that you're doing it to inform/affect your polity--your community), and (3) accepting the legal consequences of your actions (i.e. turning yourself in).

Maybe at the national level, but at the state level the two parties couldn’t be more different. And, I’d argue a major reason at the national level why their actions appear similar is an artifact of the system - our system is designed to be agonizingly slow and produce compromises that don’t make anyone happy. Thus we end up with the two radically different parties having to move a glacier up a hill trying to get anything close to what either wants.
> PjM/PM time to organize initial build

This sounds what big companies or a disorganized company would need. For an efficient enough company, a project like this needs just one or two dedicated engineers.

In fact, I can't imagine why this project needs a PM at all. The database is used by engineers and is built by engineers. Engineers should be their own PMs. It's like we need a PM for a programming language, but no, the compiler writer must be the language designer and must use the the language. Those who do not use a product or do not have in-depth knowledge in the the domain should not be the PM of the product.
With the increasing difficulty (impossibility) of bootloader unlocking that most manufacturers are building into their Android devices, I wonder whether it's market reasons (the longer the devices are operational, the longer upgrade cycle) or pressure from intelligence agencies due to minimised Google / telemetry data back doors in custom ROMs.

Using the "simplest answer is often the best" approach, it would historically be the profit motivation at 99% probability. Currently, though, feels like surveillance and intelligence gathering is edging to the higher likelihood.

Edited to add: and maybe it's not even intelligence agencies, maybe it's purely profit driven from the personal-data-selling industry.
Certainly when I was a student, I got the impression that my university saw its purpose as supporting research and training new researchers. One reason to like scholarships is that being a researcher doesn’t actually pay well so saddling people with lots of debt by graduation might discourage them from becoming researchers, though I’m not sure how much the university thought of that. It did feel like the majority of undergraduates who were not going to become researchers were a bit of an afterthought. However people outside had different ideas about what the university was trying to do, and the university obviously hoped to solicit donations from those students who eventually left.
That seems like a lot of extra effort for something that's arguably not your opsec problem, but that of the card payment industry.

A lot of these projects are made in people's leisure time, without profitability, for other fellow geeks, and the users also uses them in their hobbies. And as fellow geeks, we are more likely to be financially poised to be on the other side of the equation: getting paid to write code, rather than being able to pay a developer's wage, at least not in the long term, not in any maintainable manner. Can you afford to pay yourself 3k/month to maintain such a project, without any profitability, just for a hobby?
its similar for me when i work at a new workplace.

Okay, but is it not possible to spend much less to receive most of the benefit? The article, study, and GP are all talking about big full-height barriers. What would be the cost of a 4- or 5-foot fence with some automatic gates in it (per station)? Sure, some people could hop over it. Sure, it might not go the way to the end of the platform. But it would be _something_ and it would not cost anything like what they are proposing.

It feels to me like someone was asked to come up with a reasonable solution, took a deliberate detour through Whataboutism-land, and came back with the most ludicrous price possible.

Also, according to the MTA's own financial report (https://council.nyc.gov/budget/wp-content/uploads/sites/54/2...), the MTA has $5.6B in COVID-19 subsidy funding remaining, and they are expected to receive $15B in increased revenue from Congestion Pricing. So it sounds to me like they could probably afford even the ludicrously-priced barriers.

A lot of this actually seems to have come from recent regulatory pressure for 2FA (which I support in principle, don't get me wrong). I don't even think most of them have given much thought to rooted phones, rather they're just cargo culting Industry Standard Best Practices and turning all the device verification options to max. Luckily, most of them realize they still have customers without a compliant smartphone, or one at all, and offer a fallback, which is almost always SMS...

Though you get those newer "app only" banks. I've never used any since I see that as a major downside, not a selling point, so idk whether they tolerate root. Even with traditional banks, I've come across a few features which can only be accessed via the phone app - in this case likely due to the belief that "web? Everyone just uses apps!" rather than security

Currently, our team's expertise lies primarily in AI, and we find ourselves at a disadvantage when it comes to pinpointing authoritative sources. Acknowledging the challenges posed by the rapid spread of misinformation, as highlighted by recent studies, we developed this prototype to assist in information verification. We recognize the value of collaboration in enhancing our tool's effectiveness and invite those experienced in evaluating sources to join our effort.

But independent inspectors usually generate a report that explains at least some of their rationale. Even if it is biased, it can at least be scrutinized.

That is in sharp contrast to the insurance company that is supposedly making their determination based on drone photos that they won't even let their clients see.
