The Google Mesh (Nest Wifi) is easy to set up and requires no ongoing admin. It just auto updates in the background.

On the downside it's not very configurable, like you can't even have separate 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz SSIDs.

But your parents probably won't care about that. Just get a three pack, set it up in 10 min, and you probably don't have to worry about it again (until Google abandons that product line like every other).
Until individual countries start realizing that protecting copyright is costing them lots of potential economic growth coming from IA, and the IA business start lobbying more than the copyright business, at which point the law would just change.

Intellectual property is a fairly recent invention in economic history, and it only happened because it benefited the elite. If the balance of power changes so will the law.

Going back to the point of the the thread, we agree the deleted data is not erased. The user is unable to access it through normal mechanisms, but the existence of side channels that could reveal it does not negate the idea that it has truly been “deleted”, especially when one looks at the historical context surrounding that word.

Exactly.

Looking at that it's just what a default POJO (with nullable properties) already is, so I'd see no need to represent that in Java.

Looks cool though and I like Typescript; my issue with it is that it needs transpiling to run. If it was a first-class citizen in an environment I would use it for my pet projects.
I've mentioned this in another post and I'll do it again because the question needs to be answered.

Why doesn't Microsoft rewrite the 25-year-old kernel code to use VSS or some similar mechanism so that a faulty hot patch won't bring the system down? Windows should be able to unload the faulty patch and or reboot/reload on fault without the patch. The current arrangement is not only antiquated it's madness.

Suggestion: perhaps Microsoft needs to look at a few mainframe architectures to see how it's done.

Simply, once running an OS should never crash unless a hardware fault develops.

Done properly, it would also have the benefit of the OS never having to be rebooted when new software is installed. Period!

It's time this Dark Age operating system was ditched or rewritten.
Having volunteered at an ape rescue centre, I've heard some horrific stories about what happens when a chimp fights a person. Example scenarios include people who keep chimps as pets and zoo keepers who don't close a door correctly. Example injuries to the humans include fingers and other parts being bitten off, or being blinded. A worst case scenario for a zoo involves a group of chimps getting out and then getting frightened, and fighting.

Of course a gun will solve this problem, hence my comment about 'baseline'. Perhaps I should have said 'unaugmented'.
I wish it were that simple... even if everyone tried to "collaborate" to produce the same product, there would still be some competition somewhere, at least for ideas. somehow the final products to be made need to be decided upon and the other won't be made. That also means, that somehow the people overseeing the final products have more power than the ones that were not chosen by whatever process is in place to make those decisions...

It really has not been proven, that there is a more effective organisational form for this competition better than capital allocation using markets with a lot of freedom.

For your case or "cross-generational" pensions where the young pay for the pensions of the old: That worked well while the baby boomers were working. This may go sour when the baby boomers retire and the numbers of their first and second generation of offspring decline... Even worse: if they have made the economy, tax and debt burden for those offspring so bad, they can barely buy their own home.
Back in the days Google notoriously launched turn-by-turn navigation on Android only. They bet on this being a big enough differentiator for people to use Android over iPhones.

Apple then launched Apple maps - which at some point became quite good. Google quickly learned that they can't afford to make Android specific features in their apps or they risk losing large percentage of iOS users if Apple makes a competing product

If Apple didn't respond with making their own maps, then maybe we would see more and more Android specific features, to the point where Android would become the dominating platform
>Google Maps doesn't know that you are bilingual.

But it does know, e.g. "Accept-Language" header. Of course, google resent that part and travelling across Europe results in having a different language every day.
Did they call the police or 911? There is a big difference between the two.

Isn’t the reason southwest didn’t support third party booking was because they didn’t allow their fares to be advertised? Which was a result of them not wanting to be compared side by side with airlines who did not include two free checked bags with the ticket (eg every single other airline)? Which the Biden administration a few months ago announced rules requiring that airlines list these fees alongside the price of the ticket, subsequently removing the only reason Southwest needed to do that?

As of two months ago due to the aforementioned regulations change southwest is now on Google flights, maybe third party booking is soon to follow: https://www.forbes.com/sites/geoffwhitmore/2024/05/25/southw...
I would rather raw dog JavaScript than write Typescript. Typescript is an abomination.
> Firstly, there is no way, on this earth, that you are going to convince the population that a healthy young male who wants to only play videogames gets exactly the same amount as a crippled mother who is unable to work.

I said reduce, not replace. If you get $800 / month in UBI and $5,000 / month for disability (crippled mother example) then you would reduce disability by $800. There would be no change to the benefit for the crippled mother who is still getting $5,000 / month ($4,200 from disability and $800 from UBI).
Google Maps on iOS works terribly where I am. Current and previous phone. Going through the Caldecott tunnel would fast forward all the stops. Switched to Apple Maps and I’ve been very happy. Just a single glitch noticed (a light appears before a freeway onramp).
Ask HN: What is your go to performance optimization?
I'm curious what backpocket optimizations you have from your past experiences which you pull out when a workload costs too much in the cloud. For me its.

* disable lower c-states

* enable adaptive coalesce in the network driver

* mount volumes with noatime
CS made a big blunder when they rolled out an updated all at one time. Why would anyone who knows the slightest thing about risk do that? Mistakes can happen - I get that, but really all at once without knowing if you have an issue is criminal.

“ Supporters praised Levitt for giving thousands of Americans the chance to own a home, while others criticized the cookie-cutter Levittown homes as a further intrusion of a hollow consumerist culture and lifestyle.”

NIMBYs have always existed it seems, but we don’t have the lax land use laws that result in screwing over young families less than we do now.

Maybe housing policy is the great filter.
I am sure they just issued a wrong update to their list. No big deal.-
I think there is great stuff on Discord and people do the same things they did then and enjoy similar tomfoolery.. they just don’t own it and are monetized, and don’t have viable alternatives (none of which was true back then).

I think the big reason why social media is toxic is because going online is no longer a choice and it follows you around. Some decisions by social media providers aren’t helping, but mobile is more guilty than social itself.
Are they trying to be cartoon villains? Because that's what a cliched villain with no actual personality does. Do stuff with children's cancer [anything].

But yes, just because people can get weirdly used to a war, particularly the news, doesn't mean that it's not happening or bad or intense.
I live in woods a couple hours from any city.

My car has 2 cameras, my house has 4, my neighbors on either side have a bunch.
Most folks around here also have dash cam in their car.
All the businesses (pizza places, auto parts shops, small engine etc) have cameras everywhere.
Local PD has new axon body cams.
We for some reason have red light/traffic cams.
State Routes, Interstates have cameras roughly every half mile.

If you are even remotely analagous to most people on HN, you are recorded at least once a day 1. without your knowledge 2.without consent.
I did respond to another comment. The punctuation was very much on purpose, "+Canada", w/o the leading space to denote that there is a separation.
>Actually even worse with over-the-top ecological requirements.

That seems hard to judge in the short term - if in 50 years some economically-critical ecosystem collapses like the north atlantic fisheries did, they will have been absolutely necessary in retrospect.
The much bigger and more obvious con is interfacing with "everybody else" (e.g. outside the public sector). People assume perfect bug-for-bug compatibility with the dominant software solution. So you also incur long term costs of always ensuring that compatibility.

Hence, the more common compromise is to pay a local company to implement and maintain that infrastructure for you but using the US software.

Anecdotally: I use Apple Maps when I need directions (mostly because it’s native/integrated and not google), for drives over an hour my experience is that the ETA time is +/- 5min even when there is lots of traffic.

Except in one edge case where my girlfriend and I were doing a 7 hour drive traveling east late at night on an empty highway and our eta increased by an hour then a little while later another hour, we were so confused and thought we might be driving in the wrong direction! Until we figured out we had crossed a time zone and it was also day light savings!
It's very obvious (especially as I get older) that physical strength and cardio fitness are hugely important. So whether you are in tech. or not taking care of those things matters.
I've been advocating for years that CS departments need to bifurcate. Actual CS classes, the theory-heavy kind, need to be reabsorbed into math departments. People who want to study computer science academically would be better served by getting a math degree. The "how to write software" courses need be absorbed into engineering departments, and maybe the extra discipline gains from actual engineers teaching these courses can start turning software engineers from computer programmers with an inflated job title into actual engineers.

Students can then make a choice. Do I get a degree in computer science and be better prepared for academia, essentially being a mathematician who specializes in computation? Or do I get a degree in computer engineering and be better prepared to write reliable software in industry?

Of course this distinction exists today, and some universities do offer separate CS and CE degrees, but in practice it seems more often to be smashed together into a catch-all CS degree that may or may not be more theory or practice focused depending on the program.
The market has spent the GDP of Madagascar to fuck over cabbies in a handful of metro areas in the US. Meanwhile "efficiency" in the ISP market has lead to regional near-monopolies and some of the worst residential bandwidth on the planet. Let's not with "efficiency and innovation" yeah? The emperor is clearly buck-ass naked.
I never liked „OOPs world“ obsession with a receiver. Why the hell receiver of a message gets to dispatch the implementation at very late moment? Why not context? And when there are many receivers? I.e. a composite object of an int and a float receive message „add“ - who decides which implementation to use and why the heck any of them may even know how to add self to another? There were many attempts to solve this and all were horrible (i.e. extension methods). I have been experimenting with these concepts too (i.e. a receiverless message is a throw, which will be picked up by an enclosing effect handler via pattern match), but its all unreadable and unmaintainble mess. Anyone doing the same thing? I would love to exchange thoughts :) extras to read: ian piumarta‘s papers on his OOP system and a paper on Korz programming language

I was almost a bit shocked when I wanted to install vaultwarden on my VPS that I hadn't touched in months and all I had to do was set `services.vaultwarden.enable = true` and reverse proxy it in the nginx config. It was like "...that's it?"
I initially posted a wrong comment, but after a more careful re-reading, I think their argument is Vitamin E Acetate is bad. But Vitamin E (non-acetate) is fine. Now, I don't know whether that's true or not.

> It was determined that raising the VEA [Vitamin E Acetate] action limit to 5ppm (0.0005% by weight) accounts for any naturally occurring vitamin E, which has not been identified as a health and safety concern upon inhalation and prevents false failures for VEA screening
Everyone is both a producer and consumer, these are not different groups of people. While production is a prerequisite for consumption, producers have interests as consumers.

L/100km is standard, especially because our roads use km measurements. I use both KPa and PSI. Measure my personal weight in pounds, but doctor and etc work in kg. Trades people work in both, by necessity. (My father was a machinist / tool&die maker who trained in Germany... drove him nuts).

It's just the reality of "sleeping with the elephant" as the expression goes here. We just have it worse than Europe.
The political implications are that the politicians in the EU are disliking Israel because it is commercially profiting from spying them.
The chimp got extensive training because he did not attend school.

The humans had more than 20 years of training, going through mandatory education and then college.

It is not a competition between species. It's a competition between quality training on the one hand and on the other, the notion that some species are somehow born with skills.
Big rail supporter here, but the HS2 project execution lost all sense of cost. For context the, the total receipts from all passenger rail in UK are around £10b (https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/usage/passenger-rai...).
For a single new line to require a £100bn investment, i.e., 10x of total gross receipts of the entire industry, is just disproportionate.
You haven't answered anything interesting. Any software system that anyone cares about operates on state - user documents, a database, other bespoke systems etc. If the operator of that system accidentally deploys malware to it, how to you ensure that this malware doesn't destroy, replace, or exfiltrate this state the the system normally operates on?

Malicious code doesn't need to run as root in order to completely destroy a business.

Not to mention, all of the things you describe are very nice if the kernel is perfectly secure. But it's not, so it's always possible and even likely that compromising any user on the system is equivalent to compromising root. And if you compromise one system, you can then exploit bugs in other systems' kernels that might allow RCE through well-crafted packets or other exploits that gain access without running through any user-space code that might validate those attestations.

And finally, when a vulnerability is found allowing such exploits, you now need to update all of these readonly systems - and this happens at least once a month. Do you go with a USB stick to each of 10k systems on five continents to update them?

This kind of smug "I know better than the rest of the industry, security is easy if you do things my way" is rarely productive or applicable.
Thank you :) The open source community is great, the core is a confluence of the awesome work of others. I'm just a orchestrator. I wish I had more time to make it into something like llama.cpp and an OS around it.
I think I'm missing context on what you're referring to. Does AOSP include a lot of GPL'd software or something? Do they not comply with the GPL license? (are you talking about the linux kernel or something?)
The answer here is "monsanto is a de facto monopoly" - they're essentially the only company on earth that this kind of business can be done with on any kind of scale.

A decent intro to Monsanto (now Bayer, really) that covers some elements of their monopolistic behaviour: https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/home-garden/monsanto

tl;dr, there is a monopoly, and america decides if that monopoly can do business with Cuba

That is not what a classical liberal is. And even if it was true please do tell me would a classical liberal view abusing administrative privilege as "classical liberal characteristic"?

Since that is what went down ultimately.

Audio recordings of 911 calls are already admissible, so I don't see why not.
Yeah, but it's different if they list the price and it's huge, compared to no price listed at all.
Doubling profit is relatively easy.

If you have 10M of revenue and 9.5M of expenses then an increase of 500k in sales doubles your profit. Given that everybody in the company is needed (for sake of argument) to produce the initial 10M I wouldn't say that the CEO inking a new sale for 500k is worth the entirety of the original company.
Also if you are profiting from spying your allies is generally frowned upon.
Maybe I was reading too much into the comment I replied to, but to me "a typescript engine" implied more than "ignoring the types" (which is the current TC39 proposal).

And I was replying based on what I've seen other people saying whenever the subject comes up; apologies if I misread.

Browsers doing type checking is a pretty fraught idea IMO, at least with Typescript and not some other statically typed language entirely.
The investment schemes do not have to stay static while only the structure of businesses change.

Even if it did, would it not makes sense that investor priorities would change if their only options beyond cooperative businesses were some very small startups and mom & pops?

A system of public banks could handle investment based on the priorities set by all citizens. Everyone would effectively become a shareholder. Successful businesses could be taxed based off what the public invested in those new cooperatives, and those taxes would be used at least partially be used to fund more startups.
I'm more worried about compilation or stdlib bugs. In theory you can do lots of things with lots of things, but in practice there are all sorts of hidden limitations and bugs that tend to be noticed once a software product is past 1.0 and has been out in the wild for half a decade or more.
Sure they are. If somebody has a proprietary product that they happened to organize as a fork of an open source base at some point, it is exposed. The git organization aside, that is a very common business model.

Why does that logic not apply to those on higher incomes?

Have a job with a free-market rate of $100/hr? Why not work for only 30 hrs a week?

Also, UBI levels are never proposed at $3k/week ($150k/yr), but rather at about $250/wk ($13k/yr), or only 2-3 hours of work per week for the $100/hr guy.
The problem is all too often users have no clue what is useful information. Mechanics hear a lot about the color of the car making a funny noise, but nothing about where the noise seems to come from or when it is heard, nor do they get told when the last time the transmission oil was changed even though that might be a useful clue.
also less logging. Seen this pop up way too many times
Doesn't this kind of make sense? We are not dealing with personal property. We are dealing with term licensed software.

Github is a software distributing network. Like the app store, or Steam. They grant you access to licensed content, which you self license, and then they facilitate access for you. Based on the honor system. But some things can just be assumed to be true for the sake of simplicity and liability.

For example, If I make a repo public and then take it private the hashes that were obtained while it was open are still open. If I make a repo that's closed and open it, the whole thing is open.

If you fork a public repo and make private commits on it to a software distributor like Github, that is probably just going to end in a violation of the license. In this scenario, Github is saving you from yourself.
Are you talking about an employee owned cooperative? Employee stock ownership plan? Something else?

It really depends on their governance structure, not just financial ownership. If each employee owns some tiny percentage of shares, it doesn't really affect the governance much.

If it's a one member one vote coop though, employees have power to elect the board who can then appoint the kind of managers they like. In theory.

In practice I think most employees don't really care about all that and just want to collect a paycheck and go home and a small core group ends up running the show unless something goes terribly wrong.
Saw a pair driving together in rural Wisconsin when we were semi stranded at a gas station that couldn’t serve gas due to Crowdstrike. I wondered whether the supercharger network was effected then…
My understanding of marginal propensity to consume is that it decreases as wealth and income increase. The wealthier you are, the less you tend to spend as a function of the next dollar. So the inverse would imply that there would be more spending overall with UBI. We sort of saw this experiment play out with the COVID relief checks.

Given that increase in demand, I'm curious how UBI would affect the supply side. My first thought is that it would negatively impact supply since there would be less efficient allocation of people to supply-related jobs. Unless I'm off here, I struggle to see how increased demand and decreased supply wouldn't impact inflation.
