As Steve Albino taught countless indie bands how to make money in the music industry, give away the music to get bookings for a tour and sets, the same thing happens with the movie theatres. You cannot earn anything from the content, you'll only earn from selling soda and popcorn.

This author manages to say nothing about this well-known phenomenon. Maybe the NYT also just writes brainless LLM articles now?

Jake's wife here - I'm so sorry for the loss of your partner and the incredible frustrations of dealing with a system that requires so much self-advocacy, and even then, falls so short. I plan to continue advocating for patients as much as possible so that they don't suffer the way your partner and Jake have had to while trying to stay alive, as if it isn't already stressful enough. If you'd like to reach out, I'll eventually be trying to present patient stories and push for change directly at ASCO and other oncology conferences and I'd love to include your story in that push. Feel free to reach out anytime (DrBStillman@gmail.com)

Where is that new address going in the header?

If it's going in the same spot in the packet header as the current IPv4 address, how do you make sure that the 20-30 routers owned by 3 different companies that are likely to be between your computer and the destination computer exhibit a behavior that is consistent with moving packet closer to the destination?

(If they don't, you've just made a version of IPv6 that is worse-- it's missing the last 30 years of IPv6 implementation.)

Can we say this article show everything that's wrong with Tech in interpreting legislation?

> All because the EU has no mechanism for self-correcting its legislative failures

Kind of. EU legislative issues notwithstanding, a lot of this rests in the implementation, interpretation and past decisions.

Again, GDPR is not about "cookie popups". A small part of it is about cookie popups. Most cookie popups are not even compliant with the darn thing

Visiting a website nowadays is the equivalent into going into a store and being x-rayed, photographed and your ID copied. What are your suggestions to prevent this?

Now, I do think the criticism in how things are working is totally valid. Also for over regulation.

And then we ask the tech people how should that work, and they would suggest an in-browser solution to deny cookies, which is fine but was lobbied down by the adtech industry (curiously the same people that likes to show non-compliant popups). You can still use extensions. I use consent-o-matic

Apparently "Bevy's rendering stack is often CPU-bound"[0], so that would make sense.

Trains work very well in densely populated areas, even if its logistically challenging.

I live in the Netherlands and despite what detractors would tell you, it’s impressive how on time the Dutch railways can keep such a complex schedule.
What about security/privacy? Do they keep their email, bank sessions open all the time for the hackers to use?
This is something that seems to be settling down in language design. Local variables are usually implicitly typed, and function parameters are usually explicitly typed. This is for readability. "auto" was retrofitted to C/C++ so those languages have implicit typing of locals. C# and Java added "var". Rust uses "let". So this is now pretty standard.

Type info is needed on function signatures mostly so people know how to call the thing.
That's why Javascript and Python have acquired bolt-on typing systems. It's also why cross-function type inference hasn't caught on. It can be done technically, but it just confuses the humans.

Humans are not good at maintaining consistency between the thing right here and that other thing way over there. It's best not to design systems which require that.

Nothing new in or interesting in this article, yet another fundamental misunderstanding of how the law even works. If companies didn't want to track you to oblivion and beyond, they wouldn't need to "have spent billions on cookie banner compliance". As they say, the gears of the law turn slowly, but grind finely, personally I'm very happy with the direction EU is going, even if it takes some time to figure out all the small details along the way.
An example in the readme would be quite helpful.

Yes, and some sensors do take flaps position into account (or you compromise and have it display the AoA with a typical approach setting).
This is such a common argument for everything NIMBY. Your point remains valid, but the argument you've presented comes across uninspired.

What if you had no way to stop or from happening; what do you think might be reasonable mitigation steps that regulators could take to minimize the risk to your BBQ?

If something becomes an inevitability, you probably should be prepared with an argument that is accepting of that inevitability while still addressing your worries/concerns.
When you treat everything as a product that must be profited off, maximizing gain and minimizing the expense, that's what you get.

Public transit does not need to turn a profit, it's a public service. It must provide a service. It is already paid off.

> Maintaining the road system on an inadequate budget is a lot harder than maintaining a fibre optic system, and yet municipalities do a passable job at that.

They do a pretty crappy job of it, in general. The relevant metric here would be congestion, i.e. are they maintaining adequate capacity to prevent people from being stuck in traffic?

There are a lot of arguments people will make for how they should be preventing traffic congestion (e.g. add lanes vs. facilitate more housing construction so people aren't driving as far), but on the question of whether they've succeeded in preventing traffic congestion, the answer is no.

They also spend rather a lot of money on it.

> That's a major point of my analogy -- having the road system being anything but a monopoly is stupid, yet the road system has largely destroyed the railway companies which are not a monopoly.

But the main reason for this is politics. Trucker unions see rail as competition so they lobby for laws that keep people using trucks. Rail has a significantly lower cost per ton but projects to build new rail lines etc. are opposed because they would compete with truck routes.
I can't speak for every location, but where I live, feral honeybees (escapes from beekeepers) out-compete many native pollinators. They also outcompete many native birds by taking their nesting sites (tree hollows, man-made bird houses, etc.).

For example, in my region, there is exactly one species that can perform buzz pollination (a specific pollination technique that is required by certain plants, including tomatoes) — blue-banded bees — but they are in decline due in large part to wild honeybee colonies.

I have worked very hard over the years to grow lots of plants specifically appealing to blue-banded bees, but I still very rarely ever see them. The flowers are overwhelmingly dominated by honeybees. I don't mind a few of them around, but there are WAY too many of them. They leave so little food for other pollinators and so few nest sites for native birds.

Professional beekeepers prevent their colonies from swarming, and many of them — certainly all the ones I know of in my area — will also capture wild colonies (and kill the colonies they cannot capture) as a service to the public to help control this nuisance invasive species. But there is only so much that a few good beekeepers can do; they are massively outnumbered by feral bee colonies released by less responsible amateur beekeepers from years past.
Yelp ratings are basically useless, except for egregious things like cockroaches found running around. The worst part about the site and Google is that they paginate restaurants in a local map view by rating. It would be better to see everything all at once for certain views.

But restaurants that delist themselves for whatever reason from the review sites, also delist themselves from me ever going to them.

I'm never going to choose a restaurant where I can't see pictures of the food and the menu before going ever again.

It doesn't have to be Yelp, but if I search and didn't see the restaurant, it doesn't exist and I will never go to it. If I pass by a place and it isn't brand new, yet they've scrubbed their web presence, I'm not going to go.

There's no reason to take a chance, and any place that is trying to hide from it, will just always be a place not worth bothering to find out why they are hiding.

I am currently implementing an ISO20022 integration at a large financial institution. The way these generally work is that whatever network you're connecting with will require a certain standard number of an ISO20022 message. When you send the generated messages, they must be valid as per the specific schema in question. If not, they will be rejected. I'm speaking specifically about payment networks, not consumer level payments.

Generating classes from the XSD's is fairly trivial in most languages. The hard part is being able to read the XSD's and then being able to create the ISO20022 message with all of the required elements (given all the possible combinations of valid elements).

I guess creating a code-time library where it was not possible to create an ISO20022 message that invalid would be interesting. But being able to create invalid ISO20022 is fairly easy to do for free.

It’s only solved if nobody does it. If Google stops those payments unilaterally MS would just make a slightly cheaper deal with Apple..

I, like many others here on HN, have been following Jake Seliger’s difficult road for the past few years. Thankfully from afar, as I can't imagine what he (or his family) must be going through. But getting email updates, seeing his blog pop up on here every now and then, it's become comforting and familiar, and a symbol of hope: that he's still kicking.

I really hope his wife (or brother, or both) will continue writing after he moves on.
How long would it take a water bottle in your bag to freeze on your back in -30C degree weather? That may give you a baseline to work from.
That’s hilarious but entirely in line with my experience that most of these places are inefficiently run. The ones that become huge are just run decently and get all this stuff done. The staff are trained on what to prioritize and they have post its reminding how to work.

When doing work, many of us need simple flowcharts and a good operator knows how to make his staff into automatons in places like this.

Search would just farm out ads or develop their own again: its two sides of the same paper, by necessity.

Chrome is a loss leader and if cut out to it’s own company will die, because browsers are not a business that can make money anymore (same with eg C compilers for x86), AI maybe, but the only advantage AI has at google is that it has a crap-ton of data to train it with. Without that? The market just has one less AI product.

Regardless of how you split it, whomever ends up with search ends up with the value. And I guess the only way to split search would be into a background service api you could query and then have the front page be its own business. Others could then buy access, but the problem with that is that you then have a supplier that has all the power…
Thanks!

The article did not include a list of companies and individuals who benefit financially (and otherwise) from denying climate change. And then... cross-referencing that list with members of the US Congress.

Too many of our representatives have long ago sold themselves (and this country) to outside money and influence. At this point, this is common knowledge.
The problem really is that one single metric is insufficient to grade all restaurants. 5* at a fine dining place at £150/cover is quite different to 5* at gastropub, is quite different at a chain restaurant. You can't expect to grade or interpret all restaurants on the same scale. I just interpret the star rating as overall subjective experience, which is mostly a delta from expectations.
Well search engines were actually useful back in those days and there was room for competition.
As of early next year, the Fed (US) will not accept anything other than ISO20022 messages on their networks. So any banks that are using Fed networks are required to use ISO20022.
My take is that auto primary advantage isn't optimizing for typing, it's optimizing for refactoring.
The heuristic is the wrong place to adjust solutions, just change the costs on the original problem and adjust the heuristic if necessary.

I guess that for your intention, using an inconsistent heuristic that over-estimated costs and resulted in sub-optimal solutions was fine because you wanted sub-optimal solutions in your penalty-free problem, but this was better modeled by a modified problem that either penalized or forbid certain solutions in the original problem.

> I don't think it's just to pretend that if there are 4-5x more people releasing music today, we would all would be spending 4-5x more on records and concerts than we did in 1996.

But they also don't have to.

In 1996, the primary way for people do buy music involved it being pressed in a factory and then delivered on a truck to a store that had to pay for retail real estate and checkout clerks. The percent of the sale price going to the artist was tiny.

Today the distribution cost is you send it over the internet, the cost of which rounds to zero. The dominant cost ought to be the 3% the credit card companies take. And if you give the cost savings to the artists instead of the record companies, they could very easily be getting 4-5x more of every dollar customers spend.

The problem is, the record companies would prefer that they get the cost savings from digital distribution, and we need a system that ensures that they don't.

There is also the question of what it means to make it. The artist at the top of the charts is making many millions of dollars, but suppose we didn't have a system that props up superstars. Then instead of having a tiny number of artists who make many millions, we would have a thousand times as many artists who make many thousands.
