Do "social media", i.e., so-called "tech" companies, allow adults to determine what information they choose to consume. Pretty sure that no one using Facebook ever requested a "feed", the contents of which are determined by Facebook. The original Facebook did not have a "feed" and people using Facebook were upset when Facebook added one.

[There is something strange about using both the words "determine" and "choose" instead of just one.]

They've gotten at least one thing right: they recognized that the current dominant Western institutions have left the Global South with a bad taste.

Western powers have burnt a lot of bridges there over the years. There's been 75 years of coups and interventions, clumsy to downright evil charity efforts, foreign military bases that long outstay their welcome, "development" schemes that lean more towards exploitative than actually bootstrapping, and financial timebombs that result in imposition of austerity and fire-sales of public goods.

China has shown it's possible to massively modernize without completely selling out, so they are an aspirational model for the rest of the developing world. When they come and say "we want mutual progress", it doesn't have the immediate untrustworthy smell it would coming out of an American mouth. What is Washington/London/Brussels doing right now to win back that audience? Even if the West can offer a better deal than Belt-and-Road, itself questionable, will Africa and South America even be willing to listen anymore?

I’ve been using Cody and liking it, but one thing I noticed is there is no loop that even takes the data from the IDE and incorporates the IDE’s feedback into the code it generates. It’ll happily generate code the IDE draws red wiggle lines under and just continue on with its day. Would be nice to see a tighter integration
thanks! will look into it..

Recreational drugs can be highly addictive and lead to a loss of motivation for other activities, which is a key reason they are so dangerous, even beyond direct adverse health effects.

While all drugs carry risks, those with more noticeable negative effects, like alcohol causing sickness and hangovers, may be somewhat less prone to severe addiction than drugs that provide a "cleaner" high. However, alcohol is still highly addictive for many despite the negatives. Drugs that can cause fatal overdose even with a single use are the most dangerous of all.

When drugs are legalized, at a minimum there needs to be strong education efforts so people can understand the real effects and risks. For those who still choose to use potentially lethal drugs, there could be legal protocols for ensuring their affairs are in order such as a requirement to prepay their funerals.

While funny, I don't think this has much bearing on the topic at hand: we share a lot of DNA with chimps as well (or rather, the last common ancestor between chimps and humans). But that doesn't mean we should call chimps human.

So the shared genes alone can't be used as a reason to call Neanderthals human.

This is one of those articles that really highlights how ineffective American journalism has become. First off, what the fuck are they even talking about? Each paragraph is loaded with vague references to other local political phenomenon that mean nothing to most Californian readers, let alone the national readers of a NYT article on the economy. Second, give me some context. Any! How do California's laws compare to comparable economies, like New York or Germany? Are these law uniquely onerous? Run of the mill?

And the quotes. Go back and read the quotes. "This package provides meaningful reform" says one. “This proposal maintains strong protections for workers" says another. I, personally, do not have a degree on journalism, so I can not be sure if they are required to study rhetoric, but would someone please inform the highly educated staff of the New York Times that we are all well aware that, given the opportunity, professional advocates for a given cause can produce 3-4 sentences of drivel in support of that cause. We do not need constant evidence of this fact.
Mozilla Corporation creation had nothing to do with Firefox OS or ambitions beyond Mozilla as a browser company -- it was forced on us by the IRS, after they'd promised we could take sponsorship revenue from Google for the search deal, directly into the non-profit, tax-free.

The IRS reneged, which led to the creation of the Mozilla Corporation for-profit subsidiary in 2005 to take the Google search revshare from that time on (we paid negotiated back taxes for the period when they said sponsorship revenue was okay to take tax-free into the 501c3).

I've gone though all of these at different scales. What I find these days are: 1. databases have gotten very good where a separate queue infrastructure isn't worth it, 2. databases provide much better observability (you can query the contents). If you really do want a queue, you're still better off using a stream (e.g. Kafka) for multiple producers and/or consumers. Using a database table as a 'transactional outbox' is a poor-man's Kafka which works well enough without the additional infrastructure for most scales.

Redis taking some of the duty as you mentioned and microservices/distributed systems being less fashionable likely also factor into it.

Waters-Pierce Oil Co. v. Texas, 212 U.S. 86 (1909)
Most recently, I have been involved on the board of a high school PTA with constant volunteering for events over the time my own kids went. Before that i also did pta for elementary and middle school. For high school, two kids, four years apart so back to back over eight years - my youngest is just starting college; I feel i have a good amount of experience.

The current generation of kids are very cognizant of healthy phone discipline - moreso than many adults imho.

When you set policy, clear expectations and crisp repercussions treating the kids as equals, you get better results than treating kids like addicts with medical problems or subhumans for that matter. You very much receive the respect you put out; and bans are imho disrespectful of personal responsibility and autonomy.

I think you’re being downvoted because the premise of your question would imply that trickle down economics works, it does not.

But I can think of one case where fines create a perverse incentive: really small towns run speed traps that fund their law enforcement. I think most cops have a non trivial amount of their budget based on fines. It’s debatable if this is bad. I feel like it’s morally wrong to set a speed limit to something no one follows so anyone can be cited for breaking the law at any time, but at least (most) judges seem to acknowledge that something like “1 mph over” is a BS ticket.

I’ve seen some knee jerk problems from other regulatory attempts like having healthcare required for full time workers so companies cut everyone’s hours to 39 a week. But to me this isn’t a sign that the regulations are the problem. To me it speaks to how companies will do anything they can that they can get away with and it’s a sign that the regulatory bodies need to be better able to adapt and respond to malicious compliance.

I feel like the CFPB is a bright spot.

it sounds like a reasonable enough measure, but even in its devil-may-care heyday, nuclear energy never undercut coal's pricing by much. now that solar energy is far cheaper than coal ever was, this seems like they're trying to fight last century's war: a bayonet charge into a machine gun nest

basically a nuclear power plant is a coal power plant which replaces a coal fire with the nuclear island. you can describe it most charitably as a coal power plant where the fuel is free and doesn't make carbon dioxide or pollute the air. the problem is that coal power plants would already be too expensive to compete with solar on a pure capex basis, even if the coal and other operational expenses were free

maybe if someone finds a way to make commercial nuclear power that doesn't involve driving an electromechanical generator with a steam turbine, nuclear could win. and obviously undersea and in parts of alaska nuclear is a better option

(i wrote a comment earlier tonight on the recent history of solar energy costs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40723188 and its parent has a link to an excellent slide deck by fraunhofer ise https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/de/documents/p... providing a lot more detail)

What's excessive here?

Fines have to serve as a deterrent to be a useful punishment, and if corporations aren't being deterred then clearly the fines aren't high enough yet.
How could this article be less informative? A third of it is empty quotes from biased advocates.
> Where a state antitrust law fixed penalties at $5,000 a day, and, after the verdict is guilty for over 300 days, a defendant corporation was fined over $1,600,000, this Court will not hold that the fine is so excessive as to amount to a deprivation of property without due process of law where it appears that the business was extensive and profitable during the period of violation and that the corporation has over $40,000,000 of assets and has declared dividends amounting to several hundred percent

Seems like it would be acceptable to fine Amazon 100x more then
No shit? You mean judges trying to role-play 200 year old dead slave holding misogynists isn't a good way to have reasonable legal system?
I never had one, but IMHO If this is your way of getting steps in than it's totally worth it.

It could very quickly become racist, but it isn't necessarily. The Masters of Scale podcast recently did a nice episode on using a voice clone of Reid Hoffman to help with various dubs and edits: https://mastersofscale.com/meet-reid-ish-the-story-of-clonin...

There's a segment where the various staff/producers all try to imitate Reid's style, and then apply the voice transfer model to here their impression in his voice.

I've also used an open source TTS model conditioned on an actor whose voice I like to read the transcript from a podcast host whose voice I have a hard time tolerating. Here's where you start to edge closer to possible racism, echo chambering, etc. It's certainly a gray area, and I haven't navigated the moral shoals and reefs of replacing one voice with another* I like more – which is why I won't publish anything about how I did it.

Some like a transmission issue, not an electricity generation issue.
I understand what you're getting at, but I think we're trying to attack the wrong issue here.

Humans have been lying or sharing incorrect information (whether the person had known it or not) for thousands of years. The only difference now is the volume of information being thrown at us has increased an exponential amount and our brains haven't evolved to handle that.

So my thinking is that we shouldn't be trying to reel in the "bad" information, we should just be trying to reel in the speed at which information is coming at us.

Integration never really stuck.
It's not for lack of trying. People just get a little touchy about putting us in control of anything.
In _some_ shells! (most user shells anyway). `dash` for example does not have help.

Some form of builtin list is always on the man pages though.

There's no good way of telling if a builtin exists programatically (for, let's say, feature detection).

There's an almost good way with `{ PATH=; command -v isthisreallife; }` and some shells will provide a `builtin isthisreallife` that you can use without having to nuke the PATH variable.

Look to the level of preparedness that happened for the prior pandemic.

The level of preparedness at CDC/NIAID now is likely about as /good/ as their level was then.

I.e., they will likely be caught out flatfooted yet again, and bungle their way through, just like they did the last time, having learned little to nothing from the process last time.
Not even economists trust him.

Trading, particularly short-term "buy low, sell high" strategies, differs fundamentally from businesses that create products or deliver services. In trading, profits are often directly linked to the losses of other market participants, making it a zero-sum activity. In other words, for every winner, there must be a corresponding loser on the other side of the trade.

This dynamic is similar to gambling games like Texas Hold'em poker in a casino setting. While skilled players may consistently profit at the expense of less experienced participants, the overall wealth within the game remains constant. No new value is generated; instead, existing wealth is redistributed among the players based on their relative performance and luck. When research time and fees are added trading is largely “negative sum”.

NOTE: Some trading activities, such as market making and arbitrage, provide liquidity and help maintain fair pricing in financial markets but these operations require expensive low latency market access and are dominated by market insiders and are not possible for retail traders.
i edited that into my comment while you were writing yours, yeah. norway and finland have capacity factors of 6% for solar (compared to 30% here and 21% in the usa) and north of the arctic circle you'd need enough batteries to power you all winter long (though if i did my calculations correctly, it turns out that total yearly insolation rises after you cross the arctic circle)

this is why scandinavian countries are using a lot more hydro and wind than solar. wind and especially hydro are cheaper even than solar, but wind and especially hydro are much more limited resources

still, consider a counterfactual where somehow norway had to satisfy all its energy demand from solar. they burn 78.8 million barrels of oil per year, which is 15.3 gigawatts. they consume 124.29 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which is 14.18 gigawatts (already over 95% hydro and wind, with no significant nuclear or solar component). they burn 3.98 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, which at .0364 megajoules per liter is 4.59 gigawatts. all of these together (assuming no overlap) are 34.1 gigawatts, and over 5.55 million norwegians, that's 6.1 kilowatts per norwegian. (if that sounds like a lot more than your house uses, that's probably more because most of it is used by transport and heavy industry than because norwegians have to heat their houses more.)

34 gigawatts divided by a 6% capacity factor is 570 gigawatts of solar cell nameplate capacity you'd need. at 02021 german costs of €0.60 per (nameplate, peak) watt of utility-scale solar, (including modules, inverters, permitting, inspection, customer acquisition, etc.; see slide 48 of the fraunhofer deck linked above) this would cost €340 billion, about 8 months of norway's gdp. if you could only spend 5% of their gdp on the transition, you could get it done in about 15 years, maybe 25 if you need batteries

of course it's unnecessary because norway is already renewables-powered! but my point is that solar cells are now so cheap that they're a viable power source even in ridiculously polar countries. incidentally, they now cost half what they did in 02021, so the price would be a lot less now

antarctica is much more interesting than the arctic, though, since there's land there

I saw the comment as a tong-in-cheek reminder that culture used to be a lot less fragmented.
You realize this isn't an explanation of how it would happen, which is what they asked for right? All you did was give an example of what this nonsense is supposed to be.
Counterpoint: a monolith usually contains a complex init system which allows multiple ways of running the codebase. Microservices can avoid at least that one complexity.
My anecdotal impression is that RTFM came first especially in the context of newsgroups/usenet, whereas (R)TFA arose later in a more web-forum/blog-comment era when there were really more A's to R.
