> C was hardly a performance juggernaut in the 1980's, any junior Assembly coder could easily outperform the outcome of the C compilers.

I think that's not especially relevant. The issue is that most other higher level programming languages had poorer performance and/or inserted undesirable mysteriously-timed lags in performance. Fortran had excellent performance, but Fortran at that time couldn't handle many constructs that C can. Some Common Lisp implementations at the time had reasonable performance, but the garbage collectors often inserted pauses (ugh!), and many were expensive at the time too.

Also: The 1980s was the rise of the IBM PC-compatible (and the Macs too). These were machines whose underlying chips matched C decently well (they had hardware-implemented large stacks unlike the 6502), however, these machines were underpowered compared to what some people wanted them to do. This also had a rise in Unix servers, where C was their native tongue.
IANAL, but I don't think this would help the victims (and incidentally, that could have still happened even with the settlement). If there were a criminal lawsuit of the Sacklers, and if that lawsuit was successful, the seized money would just go to the justice department.

The only way the victims actually see any money is through civil litigation.

It's not like there's a shortage of money for art museums or natural history museums, but we do seem to be closing museums (this one and previously the Boston one) detailing the history of one of the biggest innovations in human history.

When you say "world needs" you mean sports teams and personal space travel? It's safe to say all of them have plenty of money to save this small museum and still fund their hobbies and causes.

I will just annotate that with the observation that at the equivalent point (~4 years) into oxycodone's history I doubt it was well known to be addictive. Wiki suggests it was a "Miracle Drug of the 1930s" and they didn't get nervous about it until the 1970s [0].

And I doubt OxyContin came with the liability waivers that I seem to recall the COVID vaccines having.

I don't think necessarily, it just describes of the national productivity, how much of that produce is allocated toward labor rather than capital. (wealth generated through assets vs. wages)

The middle class owning more assets than working class sure is better off. But both derive most of their income through wages rather than assets.

For automotive radar, I'm not sure the requirement is to determine the true speed of the detected object. The requirement is to determine if the radar vehicle is likely to collide with the detected object.

If the detected object is moving tangentially with the radar, relative velocity would be zero, because it's staying a fixed distance from the vehicle while both are in motion, and would seem to not be in the path of a collision.

Likely because they are compiling Java with WasmGC extensions and stuff. If you try C, Rust, Zig etc they tend to run extremely fast in WASM.

Go also has a WASM target which runs pretty slow compared to its native binaries. GC extensions might help but as far as I can remember, Go's memory model does not fit the WasmGC so it might never be implemented.
Bankruptcy is a unique creature. It's created directly in the Constitution as a federal system. Bankruptcy is inherently "equitable," which means that judicial decisions are guided by case-by-case considerations of fairness rather than strict legal rules. Bankruptcy courts have wide latitude and discretion to basically do what makes sense in each context.

Here, the majority overturned something the bankrutpcy code approved, because, in its view, the remedy of a non-consensual third-party release conflicted with the structure of the Bankruptcy Code. The dissent disagreed, pointing out there were no express prohibitions on the relief the bankruptcy court had granted, and explaining that, in their view, the bankruptcy court should have been given discretion to authorize such a release if ultimately it would make the creditors better off. Basically the majority was focused on the structure of the Code, while the dissent was focused on the practical fact that the creditors would probably get more money from the Sacklers this way than if they had pursued direct lawsuits against them.

Every document at SCOTUS level is freely available, although you have to know the docket number to get all of the briefs correctly. SCOTUSblog in practice is a more accessible interface to the docket, since you can easily look up by case name: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/terms/ot2023/, e.g., the full docket for the case in this article is here: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/harrington-v-pur...

If you want to deal with non-SCOTUS federal cases, your choices are to use PACER or to use RECAP (https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/), where the documents may be available. E.g., the appeals court docket for this case is at https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67448481/in-re-purdue-p..., note that many documents aren't available because no one made it free via RECAP.

If you want to deal with state courts... good luck! Every state has a different system with different level of pains to track down.
The opinion and dissent are actually relatively approachable and lay out exactly what the disagreement is about: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-124_8nk0.pdf

It seems to come down to whether the sentence "[A chapter 11 bankruptcy plan may] include any other appropriate provision not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of this title" means "A plan can contain anything anyone can imagine as reasonable as long as it isn't expressly forbidden" or "A plan can contain other types of provisions that follow the same general theme as the concrete list given just before this sentence".

The Sacklers argued that the law says they can take away other peoples rights to sue them, since the law says these bankruptcy plans can include "anything", and the majority opinion of SCOTUS was that that's not the right way to read the law.

There's a fairly common belief that "selling data" is a money-printing business, but it generally isn't.

Specifically, data is only worth as much as the buyer is able to exploit it to make money. Meta and Google have figured out how to immensely profit off of personal data - but that's because they own the largest ad networks on the planet.

Few other players can leverage personal data to this financial extent. More importantly, the players that can leverage personal data for immense profit also collect their own data, and so externally-sourced data is only of marginal utility.

And you see this in the discourse around this issue. We theorize for example that some grocery chain would "pay a lot" for personal data. But to what end? So they can offer just-in-time enticements to go to the store?

A lot of these supposed "applications" of personal data seem pretty flimsy, and even where they are genuinely useful, their monetary worth is marginal.

Data is worth something, but it isn't worth nearly as much as widely believed.
It's quite absurd to me that the manufacturing of planes by Boeing has less stringent QC done by themselves on their main components provided by vendors than many consumer electronics do for their suppliers.

How could Boeing not have their own QC personnel checking the work done by a supplier of bodywork? Of course I believe it's down to cost-cutting, while also shifting the liability unto their vendor in case something is out of spec. Vendors who signed a contract with probably many clauses specifying they are on the line instead of Boeing in case of missed specs on their parts.

Still, it's the main bodywork of their planes, how are they not "trusting but verifying" this all the way through?

What a fucking rotten corporate culture, the best it could happen to this company is to be nationalised, let the government purge the current directors and try to install competent people to recover. I don't think there's any other way for Boeing to change its corporate culture after so many decades of rotting without an internal revolution.

No disagreement, but I think it's worth considering how stigmatized addiction is in our society. I expect many patients would hide any signs of addiction from their doctors - especially since it might result in losing their supply of OxyContin, or worse, their career.

Burn a billion dollars. Artificially pump the market value of your company by 10 billion dollars. Pizza company gets a few hundred dollars for free. "Haha, we pulled one over on the man!" Go public or sell. Founders and initial investors (likely already wealthy) get billions. Other people take the hit.

No, this does not distribute wealth down. It's a ploy to gin up enough excitement that people who are already wealthy can expand that wealth dramatically with weak business offerings while leaving other people (smaller investors, employees, customers, other businesses, the government, the public at large) to hold the bag.

Show HN: Siram – Automate Watering Your Houseplants
Back in 2022, my wife and I went on a trip to Italy only to come back to dying houseplants. As smart home users, we thought it would be a great idea to build something to automate watering our houseplant and able to integrate with HomeKit or Matter and so we did.
That's exactly what worries me. So if something is done to prevent growing market concentration it better be something that doesn't rely on this sort of fine grained market segmentaion.

One alternative that could work is to mandate open APIs and a requirement for large platforms to carry all legal traffic and content. I know this is incredibly tricky as well. Who pays for the infrastructure? What about security and privacy issues? It raises many questions but it seems more promising as a direction of travel.
