The human brain obviously works in parallel but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have something akin to a clock frequency. There is a limit to how quickly signals can propagate through the brain.
Unfortunately this doesn't explain why my circle of colleagues, at a major tech company, also don't care actively about this stuff. My take: these privacy violations get accepted because there is immediate positive feedback, and the negative stuff is delayed, misattributed, or never felt at all.
Yes, aim measures at said entities, I support that idea.

"Evidence: most shipping code actually works."

The vast majority of time spent on software development is on bug fixing and on many projects the construction/coding defects make up more than half of all the defects.
I think there's a significant distinction here to be made between "configuration" and "programming".

Do I copy/paste swaths of code that I don't understand and put them in my programs? No, absolutely not, because each line is one I can reason about and want to understand.

But do I copy/paste swaths of configuration files / init scripts / etc, without understanding the implications of every single configuration? Yes, absolutely, because the depth behind each of those options is often irrelevant to me. (until I discover otherwise late at night when an alarm goes off (!!))

I think it is important to distinguish these. I don't think any dev that's done ops work would claim they aren't guilty of the latter, but at the same time I think very few good devs ever, and I mean ever, do the first.

Trump waited until 2020 to sign a bunch of fake healthcare EOs that had little chance of being implemented. What was he doing the previous 3 years on healthcare beyond trying to strip all of it away???

He only did this to distract from COVID and even when he wrote the EOs everyone said they were going to get jammed up in the courts forever.

I'm not going to play pretend about things trump really truly wanted to do but waited 3.5 years until the middle of a pandemic, and then never implemented.
Yev from Backblaze here -> stay tuned!
I can recommend focusing on Justice Thomas' dissent, which contains a section related to this topic. I believe Justice Thomas agrees with your assessment, and he raises concern that the SCOTUS has essentially made APIs practically uncopyrightable (in that they will 100% of the time find that it's fair-use to use them). I actually disagree with him, but only in one sub-category: I think a SCOTUS ruling would be harder to predict in a situation where someone 100% copied an API that had no implementation. That removes the mitigating factor of what portion of the work was used.

Ironically the most protected APIs may be the ones nobody implements.
Pretty much. The code base is likely immense. The amount of cost for lawyers and engineers would easily outweigh any benefit for LG.
Saying no detectable lead is a bit hard to interpret without also listing the lower limit of detection for the measurement. I assume based on the sig figs it might be less than 0.5 ppt or something around that.

Is 1 ppt lead really bad for you? There is lead in everything, see: https://www.fda.gov/food/metals-and-your-food/lead-food-food..., note many of the LOD reported there are 1000x higher...
> That said, this case does establish a precedent that if your copying of an API is primarily for purposes of matching an interface so that developers can reimplement it, you're in fair use territory

Well, if you can an API for any primary purpose that not making software compatible with the one you are copying, then it's not really an API. It's perfectly fine if you can't frame it and sell around as a painting.
We're not that sort of hackers.

I believe that pilots refer to this as density altitude. It factors greatly into allowable takeoff weight, takeoff distance and ability to climb over obstacles in the takeoff path. Pilots are or should be very aware of the density altitude on very hot days especially at high altitude.
Yes. The alternative is to stay with the broken CA model, as opposed to adding a second, even more broken CA model to run alongside it.

Can you define "much much lower" please? Is that by purchasing power (i.e. university, housing, medical coverage)?
Why pick only one thing? If this is a weekly or monthly event, there’s no reason it has to be the same every time; why not have a variety of events on rotation so that you’re not alienating the same set of people every time?
Bingo, outsize panic serves politicians, but rarely serves causes in the long run.

I never learnt SQL "properly" until I took one of the first MOOC courses, Introduction to Databases by Jennifer Widom. Really good for getting a better understanding.

I have always felt strongly against monarchy. Especially against the British royal family, more so as I am an Indian. They never apologized for any of the massacres (Jallianwala is just one example) or pogroms committed at their behest and in their name. I do believe they are a disgusting symbol of colonialism, racism, subjugation. It is very disturbing that a good part of the world and an entire nation validates them, bows to them officially.

But again, he was a fellow human being after all - I hope he finds peace if at all there's something after this and I hope he was at peace and content towards the end.

IANAL.

I was thinking the same thing. Your reasoning makes more sense.

Edit: but again, they could send back money any time, just to be sure. But they do need money urgently during elections. Not so sure about your reasoning now.
It is not an easy solution, but: consider freelance/contracting. Software development is well paid; if you're willing to take a cut in your standard of living, it's feasible to work for 6 months out of the year & earn enough to live. (You probably won't divide your year into two blocks like this, but distribute it across the year.)

There are many drawbacks to this, of course, but it's easier to do this when you're freelancing than when you're working full time.
Sure, we can do like in middle age and trade goods instead of money.

Still fun though.
My quick summary:
1) Bad example of a detail-poor wireframe that actually could have been good with actual content text and more precision.
2) Explanation that wireframe leads the design direction and sets its own limits of creativity. They constrain your execution to well-known paradigms and restricts innovation.
3) A vague point about alternative methods of user interaction that can't be wireframed and one must leave the comfort zone of traditional UX.

Ironically, the whole post seems to be a retrospective reflection on how Intercom.io COULD have developed their own product, but chose not to. https://www.intercom.io/ is a direct example of wireframe-driven design that fits into the same boxes that OP wants to break.
"no way to use it programmatically nor is there a way to get the set of bindings"

These don't really make sense in the context of Racket. Pattern matching is a macro and thus doesn't exist at run time, though of course with eval the distinction between run time and expansion time is not so well defined. Accessing the lexical environment is not something you do in Racket -- it breaks optimisations and is generally considered a bad idea.
What does it mean by "lengths shorter than this are not confirmed"? We are not sure about the size of objects smaller than it?
I doubt that they plan on 500,000 luxury sales. If so that would pretty much mean abandoning any pretense of having a mass market electric car.

I would hope that they think they will put this towards a sub 40k car, or better yet below 30k which is where many of the smaller electrics are now.

Still a large factor like opens the possibility of packs not certified for cars being given other uses. Put in Texas and reap the power of the wind to power the factory too!
I'm doing a PhD in the UK, and there certainly are people who are doing a PhD without funding (and paying quite high tuition, outside the EU is nearly £20k/yr), although they are a minority. I would guess 10%, less in STEM subjects. I started my program with only about half my funding in place while making plans to have secondary income to help fund my studies. Fortunately I was able to find the funding for the remaining part of my program, but it seems that most who try to find funding once starting their studies aren't successful in finding it (at least in the UK).

Acceptance to the program is quite a bit easier than getting funding. I wouldn't recommend studying without funding - in addition to the expense I have seen these students are often treated as second class.

In Canada, most people were funded in research assistantships coming from their PI, or had independent scholarships. This covered tuition and about $10,000 salary for research-based Masters or $15,000 for PhD, and could be supplemented by about $5000/year by teaching. This is marginally enough to live on without loans if you were thrifty and don't have dependents. I didn't know of anyone who wasn't paid (in Engineering - I think there were in Arts).

Its worth noting especially for STEM people that the biggest cost is probably opportunity cost compared to the salary (or start up) you could be doing instead of a PhD.

TL;DR - not paying tuition for a PhD isn't newsworthy.
An old job of mine put new employees through two months of bootcamp. The first month was mostly learning the industry idiosyncrasies and the second was role-specific training on the tech stack.

Understandably, this only works at large and established corporations who have enough spare revenue to invest in a dedicated training team.

> what replaces it as arbiter of truth?

Why wouldn’t they tell the truth? Why do we need someone else to be arbiter of truth?

Take feminism. Why do we still hear this deceit statistic that women earn .73 cents on the dollar, without any list of the assumptions built into those very gross average? Barring that, why do journalists never put it into perspective? Barring that, why do journalists never interview counterpoints on this topic, when they would always have a feminist on panel if a man gets interviewed? Hence, what does anyone mean with “arbiter of truth”? They are not seeking truth in appearance, let alone in depth.

I understand that this is about power, but, when even a layman can study the underlying science and prove the journalists are blatantly “forgetting to say the big hypothesis that makes the statement a blatant lie”, then your question becomes:

“What can replace media as an arbiter of lies? Who would be capable of misleading more than they do?”

(For the record, media is now trusted even less than congresspeople, with less than 21% Americans trusting them)
If WFH becomes fully accepted, I don't think many employees will choose to commute 30-60 minutes to spend their days at the office instead of staying home with their spouse, kids, and pets.

Real-time wholesale market prices on the power grid operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) were more than $9,000 per megawatt hour late Monday morning, compared with pre-storm prices of less than $50 per megawatt hour, according to ERCOT. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-electricity-texas-prices-...

They where producing less lower but not 50 / 9000 aka 0.56% as much power. That’s how a few people where getting 10k bills for a week spike. Also, prices where capped by regulators, they would have spiked well past 9k/MWh without that regulation. In the long term customers pick up the bill while power generator who generated any power end up making bank.
That sounds ok until you hears about state companies and how the run. I was born after the communism fell in the eastern block and we didn't have blackouts every now and then, we had electricity every now and then. Blackouts were the rule.

I'm pro capitalism, I think companies work better when there's a profit to be made and I also believe the state should hold a share in what is called "natural monopoly" to keep things on track if it's necessary.

"Interesting, this is a lot cheaper than a SCSI2SD."

SCSI2SD is stuck with a fairly expensive BOM (FPGA, 32 bit ARM SOC) and not enough volume for deep discounts.

Leveraging the Rpi's buyer power does make this a lot cheaper. The adapter board for this appears to be mostly just 4 bus transceivers (SN74LS641) and appropriate SCSI headers/connectors.
> what's the point of writing 2-3 per week if you don't think you have any relevant/interesting to say?

Well the 2 O-1 visas, 1 upcoming greencard (fingers crossed), and ~$250k in infoproduct sales have been nice :)

I rarely feel like I have nothing relevant or interesting to say. When I write daily for 3 weeks straight it gets a little wobbly.

The problem for me is that the brain gets full and I have too many ideas rattling around in there. With a lesser publishing schedule I can create time to write/work on bigger long-term projects (like a book), but what ends up happening are these long HN comments and such because the writing has to go somewhere.

Another issue is that with less publishing, suddenly nothing feels important enough. There's only 2 slots, better make them good! And that's paralyzing.

More slots is better, but then there's no time for longer higher impact projects.

Present-day social media censorship in the US is not "just free market", and is markedly similar to the kind I experienced growing up in a now-ex-communist eastern European country in the 1970s-1980s. Outright bans were not politically tenable by then, but forcing the opposition to express their views on fringe "alternative" channels was a popular strategy [1].

WeChat does not let you share Winnie the Pooh. Nominally, Tencent is a privately owned company freely choosing who they provide a platform to [2]. But in reality, they have no choice but to ban Winnie the Pooh, unless they want a state apparatus to make their lives increasingly difficult. Just because something is censored by a private platform doesn't mean that it's the "free market" of ideas and not a state or the government wielding its power.

Large US companies are also part of an industrial–congressional complex, with lobbying and political contributions on one side, political approval and threats of regulation on the other. Large tech companies are deeply and inseparably intertwined with the state and the political parties (both of them), based on the granting of reciprocated privileges. They know full well that if they ban the wrong speech (or refuse to ban the "right" speech), they face being regulated out of existence. Indeed, seeing this threat, we see them scramble to align with the incoming administration.

The kind of social engineering that led to the present bans was very popular in communist Eastern Europe as well. Did you recite an anti-government poem at your barbecue? You might find yourself banned from your favorite pub permanently! Why? Nominally, it was the bartender exercising his right not to serve you: after all, he shouldn't have to suffer potentially vocal ("verbally aggressive") imperialists in the establishment he runs. But behind the nominal reason was plain, state-mandated censorship. They'd have risked a bunch of misfortunes by not banning you. These could range from relevant, like the next few beer shipments "mysteriously" getting damaged during delivery, to completely random gaslighting-esque punishments, such as the bartender's daughter not getting admitted into the local high school. A plethora of plausibly deniable, no-outright-ban social mechanisms existed to make life difficult for people who disagreed with the official narrative, and to encourage people to ostracize the disagreeable. It required only a few well-placed entryists, made sure that ordinary citizens had skin in the game, and was a lot easier to handwave away than the black cars and heavy-handed approach that riled up the opposition in the previous years [3].

>>> Your obsession with terrorists' lack of scruples is causing you to become what you hate

Did it? Did he already cut off people's heads, blow up markets and issued fatwas calling for murdering infidels? Or did he just express an opinion that maybe war prisoner abuse, while being undeniably bad, is not the same as murdering innocent people or perpetrating genocide? If in your eyes that makes one the same as terrorist, your priorities are seriously messed up.

The problem is not finding a nice alternative.

The problem is that everybody's contacts are on Whatsapp. How do you make THEM switch?
That depends on what you want with privacy. If you'd want to chat anonymously, having to use your real phone number is a bummer. At least in my country, it's getting harder and harder to get a SIM-card that is not tied to your name.

The alternative is getting a burner SIM-card. Though, that will become harder once more prepaid providers require your ID.
Ok, that is very active from Trump, if the reports are true.
And if not, well he still is the military leader. That surely influences forces moral on how to act.

But was this not known?

The FBI could not bring more people in?

But yes, could also very well explained by, "they would not really dare it" preparation.
They have, for the record. I.e., posts from the morning that were effectively were dead got additional downvotes rapidly after posts in this thread. And I got plenty of HN’s passive aggressive “you’re posting too fast” messages.
