Tangentially - If it weren't for the arbitrary decision of Carl Johansson, converting lathes from metric to imperial units wouldn't be exact. Thanks to him, an inch == 2.54 cm exactly.[1]

This means you can use a 50 and 127 tooth gear pair to do conversions and make metric threads accurately on an imperial lathe, and vice versa.

I would be very surprised if you, or anyone on this message board, had a use case for it. It was a niche example that I knew you wouldn’t know. But you made my point that advertising is about awareness first.
It would be wonderful to have such datasets in public domain if they are FOIA-able - then they should be in a dataset that public can throw into LLMs...

You know who is sitting on a goldmine: Oil & gas -- all their geological info secrets are literally priceless at this point - obviously these will never be public because then we will find out how Oil is really created by subterranean lizard people in the hollow earth or something neat.

But if we could see what is gleaned from Oil & Gas efforts, it could have an unimaginable impact on our understanding of the geologics of earth - just because it would be so much highly rigorous datasets just due to their seeking to pinpoint oil fields, the amount of datapoints taken and samples, and efforts, and results and old fields depleted, and how new ones were discovered, and the techs developeed to do such.

Oil and gas is such an evil industry because it relies on deception, obfuscation and "drinking everyone else's milkshakes" at the expense of Human Progress for profits....

Exactly. So C/C++/Fortrant is better in this regard than Python.
A huge part of this is because there is often no other option to pay, and when there is there's a ton of friction involved. We know how much little frictions add up when people are trying to buy a product. They have to have even more impact on someone who wants to donate. I definitely spend more on my Apple devices due to easy Apple wallet integrations. I'm not going to pretend like I'll go out and start donating to all of these websites. But if the anti-popup blocker modal had something as easy as an Apple Pay button, I'd definitely consume more of that style of content if the fees were reasonable.

Sure, but my larger point is that I believe people should strive for free speech maximalism even in their private dealings, and even within the private dealings, we should strive to make the consequences we impose minimally "dangerous". There's no bright lines to be had, and everyone will have different limits, and every situation will have different criteria applied to them. But overall I'd rather err (and see other people err) on the side of being too permissive rather than not permissive enough. On the scale of less to more permissive, I'd probably argue that the order would be something like "friends", "business partners", "employees", "contractors". The less likely you are to be inviting someone over for dinner, the more permissive you should probably be over how their outside speech impacts your business dealings with them.

People only change by exposure to new ideas, and if all the "bad people" and all the "good people" never mix, then what hope do the "good people" have that any "bad people" will learn to think differently?

Basically, I really don't want to live in a world where it's normal for my boss to go trolling through my HN comment history before deciding whether I get a promotion or not, no matter how much of a right they have to do that. I'm not ashamed of the things I've said here (to the best of my knowledge), I just don't think that having a discussion with other people, about topics that don't directly bear on my work should be used when determining how to treat me at work. I am not so conceited as to think I am right all the time or that my bosses would agree with every thought I have. Which is why I have these discussions here, with other people engaged in the topic and not at work, with my bosses who weren't talking about the topic in the first place.
>Aviation is a mature field. People much more clever than you or me spent decades of their lives thinking deeply about how to make it safe.

I know this, and I'm not saying there weren't clever people working on it. Maybe that came out wrong.

However I have worked on safety-critical systems in a mature industry (not aviation). And the maturity of the industry has IME often meant that a lot of the especially obvious low-hanging fruit are not looked at properly.

Overly bureaucratic processes and people that are too focused on their roles, means that especially a lot of those things that require empathy for the user and a bit of a wide-angle view get ignored until something happens.

This is a two-edged sword since institutions need the bureaucracy and processes to remember it the next time.

For example I'd be that a UX designer with empathy for the user would not put a touchscreen focused control into a car.

The lack of feedback makes it distracting which arguably cost a few lives already. But it's hard to measure without cameras observing people in the last seconds before the crash.

Since there's no numbers there's probably less of a pressure on automotive companies to make it safer. Bureaucratic companies don't work this way. They need to hurt in their profits first.

Yet almost all cars in the last ten years have a lot of touchscreen controls. Because it looks cool in the showroom, and Tesla already did it.

It's a really obvious safety issue. A really low-hanging fruit. But it's in the blind spot of the mature automotive industry.
I'm sure it's bad, but the article isn't providing (unless I missed it) the crucial bit of information needed to evaluate this story, which is how these inspection results depart from the norm, which may also frequently be gnarly (agriculture is gnarly and gets gnarlier as it scales), but has not repeatedly generated listeria outbreaks.

> It sounds horrifying but it's hard to tell how much more horrifying it is than the average meat processing plant. They're big, complex, dirty facilities at the best of times. I've never seen the inside of a meat processing plant.

How do you say that they're big, complex, dirty facilities at the best of times, then immediately say you haven't ever seen inside one?

> Presumably the journalist hasn't either.

Why would you presume this? Do you presume the inspectors aren't familiar with meat processing either?

Just random praise for the company that is getting busted for horrific health violations. Do you have any praise for the facilities that aren't crawling with vermin and filth?

I’m again not an economist nor someone who reads a lot of Reddit. But economists don’t dislike mmt, they invented it after all. Economists are as mixed and varied in their beliefs as priests!

But my main contention is that we had a ton of loose monetary policy for nearly 2 decades with no major inflationary issues.

Then we had a short supply chain shock and a minor catch up in real income and boom inflation. That’s fairly compelling to me.
Programming also enables hackers, viruses, etc. Advertising enables good things like knowing there is a cure for your rare cancer (even if you search, there has to be information, which is advertising). It also enables the bad stuff you mentioned.

It is literally impossible to do anything without ads. You go to the store and it says peaches on a can of peaches. That’s an ad.
You don't even have to have kids.

When I was at my last house, I didn't have kids, and people would knock on my door every day. It was because my block was full of neighbors who were friendly and nice to one another, and not shut in their houses like hermits.

The way many people in the suburbs live these days, they'd might as well live in windowless metal shipping containers.
They're in the process of doing this for alums @hmc.edu too. Google baited us into moving the whole infrastructure into the cloud and now are switching us to something the alumni association can't afford.

Meanwhile, the self-hosted mail server for the CS department @cs.hmc.edu still hosts accounts for all the alumni and will for the foreseeable eternity. I can still SSH into the current department cluster and read two decade old (or two second old) emails using mutt. If their cluster somehow ever runs out of disks, I'm happy to donate a terabytes worth, but like hell I'm giving money to big-G for cloud storage.

My understanding of MMT (unburdened by any formal econ training) is that government spending financed by debt in that government's own currency is OK if and only if the society has — or can quickly enough build — sufficient productive capacity to handle the increased demand that will be caused by the increase in the money supply. I found Dr. Stephanie Kelton's book The Deficit Myth to be a very-accessible explanation that made intuitive sense (which of course is always dangerous).

The perhaps-facile analogy is pump-priming, a.k.a. fiscal stimulus, summed up in the old Kingston Trio song Desert Pete: You come across a hand-operated water pump in a well in the desert (hah!), with a bottle full of water sitting there, and a note explaining: You can "borrow" the water and use it to prime the pump; once you get the pump going: "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet | Leave the bottle full for others | Thank you kindly, Desert Pete."

But that only works if the pump is working and has sufficient "raw material" (water in the well). And if you drink most of the bottle of water (borrowing for consumption instead of for boosting productive capacity), then the pump won't draw water, and you'll angrily claim that priming it doesn't work. As Desert Pete warned, "Now there's just enough to prime it with, so don't you go drinkin' first. Just pour it in and pump like mad and, buddy, you'll quench your thirst."

The lack of acceptance of MMT among mainstream economists is of course a red flag. But then in medicine, Marshall and Warren asserted — correctly — that many common stomach ulcers were caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria and could readily be cured with cheap antibiotics instead of with major surgery. They were scorned by mainstream physicians and surgeons protecting vested interests. And eventually they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

So lack of acceptance isn't dispositive; as I read somewhere but can't find online, old economics ideas don't die out until old economists do. (Or maybe it was physicists?)

I read the JACC article too, and thought the NYT claims were decently supported:

> The second unexpected observation was the lower rate of non-CV death with semaglutide vs placebo, particularly infectious deaths, including in patients with reported cases of COVID-19. The mechanism by which semaglutide is associated with lower CV or non-CV mortality is unknown. Weight loss improves traditional cardiometabolic and kidney risk factors,3 such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, renal function,26 and dysglycemia. However, the blood pressure and lipid reductions in SELECT with semaglutide were relatively small compared with those in dedicated risk factor–lowering trials, and the observed reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events is more than would be expected based on those changes.

You could absolutely be right that body weight is a lagging indicator, and these patients are getting a bigger improvement in systemic inflammation/their hematologic profile than weight loss alone would suggest… but running immediately to that conclusion is major hubris in my book. I don’t think it’s remotely implausible that there are one or more yet-unknown metabolic pathways tweaked by GPL1 agonists that could explain the effect.
The default of a 100TB shared storage pool seems hilariously low for a university. It's not surprising why Google made that all. Students were probably storing TB of anime and whatever else on their drives. It was crazy when we looked at the storage usage at my uni.

As economies fully industrialize and embrace computerization, they’ll face the same problems as Japan: long lifetimes and low birth rates upend demographics, meaning economies can’t rely on population for growth. Large swathes of rural areas are abandoned as urbanization increases and agriculture centralizes and mechanizes. Women in the out-of-home workforce means child care is hard to secure. The rest of the world is already facing these problems, just not yet at the scale Japan does. Yet.
I still sometimes have to use mine to provide I attended college!
Distributed computing is a different beast than a storage service for students for stick all their pirated media on.
Then the obvious solution is to instead have them managed by their CS department. And fire whoever previously thought it should be otherwise.

He said he's thankful for "the guys who work in these plants", which is not the same thing as being thankful for the companies that operate them or their policies. Being thankful for rank-and-file meat processing employees doesn't seem like a crazy sentiment. It's a very tough job.

> It actually wouldn't be a bad idea to tie email storage with donations.

This could be done in perhaps the opposite direction: individual alumni donors tying donations to maintenance of email accounts for all alumni.

These email addresses, in some cases, must date back to the 90s or earlier. Cancelling them is a major, negative change to people who (like me!) who have come to rely on them.
In this case, X closed the office to not pay the fines.

Usually these decision comes when a company closes to not pay the workers all their benefits left, and the judge then goes back to all the other companies that the shareholder is on, and is part of the "economic group". In Brazil legislation, what matter is if the judge decides that the companies are part of the same "economic group".

In German there's a similar word, "fahren", which means driving or traveling. In Dutch the word "varen" mean to sail or in an older sense of the word "to move".

I can only assume, but considering the Dutch "vaarwel" is so close to English, I'm going to guess it means "Go well" - or more poetically when speaking of one's path in life: may fate treat you well.

See the timeline [1]. They have been forcing the rest of the university to reduce their usage. Finally it's time for alumni. There's no need for a fuss on HN about this. There's a lot more belt tightening across the university.

I'm not seeing the legitimate use for 5GB of email. Delete your attachments and it has to be fine. Annoying? Sure, but you can search email for large attachments. How bad could it be. I'm sure they follow a power law, so deleting a few of them should do it for "legitimate" over-quota users.

Why? Would this be more interesting if they were in the UK?
"How's it different?" is an excellent metric.

Why pay you, a person with this as their resume, when I can pay someone with 10 other 'hits' on their resume and their software also does this?

Why pay the newb is a great question to ask.

The answer to 'How is it different' is a whiteboard interview problem. If the developer cannot immediately extol the virtues of their product, do you want to give them money? Are they confident in their skills? Were they just copying other's recipes?

You'll know the answer to that and many other questions the minute the developer has to think and answer this fundamental question.

You'll also know if they're full of shit almost immediately.

It doesn't matter what the developer's prior relationship to you was. When they hand you software, and expect others to pay for it they need to be asked this question. Their answer will assist them in understanding their product and how to sell it to others.
