The funniest thing about their ads is watching my daughter learn to tap the button again and again until they are gone.

It's hard to imagine how Google or TV will convince the world to accept let alone want their ads for much longer when a generation is growing up with ad blocking and Netflix.
You've raised like five questions in three sentences, so here's the low down:
Capital One isn't worth $334B. It manages assets worth $334B. Those are the totals of the deposits creditors have with it. Capital One is worth $44B as of this writing[1].

Many companies have fixed capital assets worth less than the company, because they've financed those assets with debt, which would have to be acquired or repaid at the time of the company's sale. Some companies have close to no fixed assets but are worth much from their prestige or ability to execute. Some companies have secondary liabilities that are worth much more than their assets - See Yahoo, who were at one point worth less than the valuation of their holding in Alibaba.

Buyouts are rarely done in cash. They're often done in financing, with several banks lending money to the company to cover the total purchase price. They're also frequently done in stock, where the buying company gives the acquired company shares in the buyer equal to the value of the acquired - Either by issuing new stock, or by simply buying up the old, or some combination of the two.

You're the one conflating intuition and emotion.

Intuition is closer to recognition. Recognizing a person from the way they walk, recognizing a dangerous situation, recognizing a combination of clues whether to trust a person, recognizing a pattern to predict a future outcome.

Intuition is very powerful and obviously prone to bias[1], as predicted by the No Free Lunch theorem[2].

Kahneman describes rational thought as a crosscheck to intuition, and that seems highly reasonable. Emotion is a whole different category. You don't need an fMRI to experience these distinctions yourself. In fact I'm baffled if you don't.

How does this relate to the fact that the photos are stored for free? You store them the same on apple drive and it's not free..
Amazon's business model is based on great service to customers at a low price. Capital One's business (edit: their credit card business) is based on screwing consumers for as much money as they can legally (another edit: my impression is based on anecdotes from many years ago, before the ING acquisition).

Those aren't very compatible business models. If Amazon wants a bank, there's probably a lot of options with better synergies.
`int a <- b <- 0` or `int a := b := 0` would have worked just as well.

Programmers using equals for assignment is a bit of a misunderstanding of what the mathematical idiom "let x = 5" means. The assignment is signaled by "let", not by "=". In fact, several programming languages use "let" exactly for this purpose too.
I'm afraid "the common good of the community" and "accepting and accommodating the needs of others" is problematic in today's culture, especially on the campus. What is reasonable if my "need" is to see cisheteronormative orthodoxies quite literally burned down?

Looks like it has AA to me. You would be better with temporal AA, FXAA reduces jaggies but doesn't know enough of the underlying shape to really do anything like super sampling along subtle curves and stuff. For lines it can sometimes use enough surrounding context on screen to do a passable job.

If you use the new forward renderer you can turn on MSAA and get super sampling along the edges too but it is still going to be there to some degree. 2xMSAA is only going to get you the equivalent of two bits of translucency information for each edge pixel.
a dedicated 2-3GHz processor can definitely receive a signal, turn it into an interrupt, and respond to it within nanoseconds. it's the OS that prevents that from happening.
To whoever implemented this AI: Can you actually play music yourself? Your AI can't. I tried to play “Satori Maiden” (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c9bea_thaM ), and your AI only replied with unmusical nonsense.
True, but Youtube suffers from its own class of usability issues around ads/video. Eg. the other day I was watching a YT video and noticed that the top-voted comment was a particularly weird/creepy comment - so I absent-mindedly clicked the "thumbs down" next to it. Suddenly I was whisked away to a login page with no warning, interrupting the video. I immediately clicked "back" - and was forced to re-watch the entire ad before resuming my video. Stuff like this infuriates users - I'm trying to actively engage, and being punished for it?!
> If giving out free videos

Are they giving out free videos? The content creator gets to choose how to monetize, right? The platform does allow for free, and the creator chose to get paid.

> VC's jizzed them

Please don't. It's kind of gross. Also, please don't post overheated rants to HN. It lowers the signal/noise ratio, which is what we're hoping to optimize for.

Thoughtful critique is welcome. One method for turning overheated rants into thoughtful critiques is to (a) edit out name-calling and pejoratives and (b) add information, such as specific examples.
The Bull Case for Snapchat
Is it not called the Slashdot Effect anymore?
I think you mean DTCC, not DTIC, for the record.
To be competitive with YouTube, one needs enormous economies of scale.

The only one competitor I could think of here would something like a Twitch.tv spinoff by Amazon with a focus on sharing videos, but since they decided to focus on live streaming, that ship probably sailed.

They probably still have the scale to do it, though, with AWS being what it is.

Do you have any insight as to how Vimeo hosts and serves their videos and what their scale is?
I think there is something about "getting the driver signed from the dashboard", seems like Microsoft will sign it if it passes WHQL certification. But it is really hard to find any coherent information about how it all works. Seems that everything is kept obscure if you are not a big hardware company. Something as simple as getting a list of which certificates that will work seems practically impossible. The only useful information seems to be from blog posts and forum discussions at osronline.

Of course malware authors don't care much about all this since they just find some old version of a driver with a known vulnerability, so the only it accomplishes is keeping a high barrier to entry.
I played the A-section for Heart and Soul (the song from the movie "Big") and its response was enough to tell me it was not going to be playing actual duets.

I'd be interested in a version that has learned accompanying portions to many popular melodies. If I could play the right hand part of a piece and it played the left hand I'd be very impressed -- also this would actually be useful software for aspiring pianists.
MISP Threat Sharing – Sighting the Next Level
Yes, I still remember the days where each compiler had its own linker, optimized for the specific language semantics.

Using the system linker means throwing away those benefits, in name of lowest common denominator.
For all the non-programmers out there that are comfortable with spreadsheets, this site - http://codingisforlosers.com/ -is pretty epic for building out a ton of dashboards and data pipelines with Google Sheets.
The big downside I've found using this a lot in the past is that Google has no SLA for sheets. Sure its Google, so it has high availability but things can quite often fail with no support from Google. So just be careful of building anything mission critical with this. The API can be wonky every once in a while. At one point it even took them like 6 months to fix an issue I had with the Apps Script API. If my business relied on that functionality, I would have been screwed.

The Jupyter Notebook use case sounds great but if you move to something that is more critical use a real data store.
is that a rhetorical question?
You say parking assistance. I say a warning system for not backing into small people and obstacles.
For being such a bunch of stingy capitalists, it's always surprising to see people defend businesses without viable models.

If hosting content online for free isn't working for you, maybe that's not a commercial space worth occupying. Not everything deserves to be paid for, "selfish" or not. Users, aka "the market," will decide if your product is usable despite the income generating parts.

Marginally related, if your business isn't profitable enough to pay your employees a livable wage, then maybe your business isn't actually profitable enough to, well, be "in business."
That's the hulu strategy. Wear you down with such low quality, repetitive ads you'll...stop using their service.

FTFY!
I wonder if part of the problem is that computation is often excessively focused on precision, when what you often need is a good approximation. Precision is very valuable in the right context, of course, but in the wrong context it's like bringing a scalpel to a sword fight.
You misconfigured your domain and as a result did not receive important communication sent to it. What's the controversy?
I didn't realize someone on the Internet named 'gjjrfcbugxbhf' held the keys to the definition of friendship.
I don't need help, I just need people to be understanding that some people like to be left alone and take a little longer to figure out a good way to express themselves.

Consider this logically. Which would be the most optimal and efficient solution to your problem; learning to change your own behavior and expectations, or expecting the whole world to adapt to you?

Btw, I have similar difficulties in expressing myself verbally and can relate to your issues very well. I'm probably a lot older than you though, so I've had a few years to work on my 'soft' skills. I'd say I'm only moderately annoying by now, I'm aiming for 'quaint' by the end of the year.

I shouldn't be bad, although I didn't actually measure its heap usage. Allocating memory and copying data is slow, so in LLD we mmap input object files and use the files directly as much as possible. This increases process virtual memory size (because large files are kept mapped to memory), but the actual memory usage is much smaller than that.
I was just about to post this. I find Freeman's description of successful "unstructured" groups to be an uncanny description of the idealized early-stage startup, despite her very different context.
He clearly states that code which depends on a linked list implementation is "unsafe" for that very reason.

To me that's not convincing argumentation. If code depends on a broken "unsafe" linked list implementation, that's bad no matter what language the code is.

What you say is true under some interpretation of "unsafe", but it doesn't relate with a broken "unsafe" linked list implementation.

Btw. since I'm not a Rust user I might miss something here. And I admit my post was a little short and thus maybe provoking. But just to let everybody know, I got at least 5 downvotes.

Given that answers to my post don't even see that OP implied a causal relationship, that doesn't help with my perception of the "Rust echo chamber on HN" (not my wording).

There's nothing wrong with using assignment in if conditions. For example, `if let Some(thing) = computation_that_may_fail { ... }`.
Only in YouTube conspiracies. Banks aren't even reserve constrained, and haven't been for a long time.

Are you limited in the amount of credit you can offer, outside of finding a willing counter party? No. This is the freedom of our financial market.
Your assertions are definitely debatable.

There are at least two social benefits to home ownership.

First is wealth accumulation. According to GAAP, land does not depreciate. It can go up or down in value due to market forces but it does not depreciate. When people have real, tangible wealth, they are less likely to be dependent upon the social safety net as they go through life. That benefits society. Homes can also be used as an instrument of generational wealth transfer.

Second, owners tend to take better care of properties than tenants. A community where most or all of the inhabitants own their residences is more desirable than one where everyone rents.

If you have no objection to child and educational tax credits, you don't have an issue with skewing market forces. You just want to be the one to decide who gets the benefit of that skewing.

I always thought their business model was giving people with starter credit (like college students) credit cards and car loans.
NameCheap did the same thing to me, except it was even worse because it was on a domain name I purposefully let expire (I didn’t want it anymore). But instead of letting it expire with the Whois Guard data they changed it to my real data and essentially doxxed me right before it expired.

Here is the email I got from the support:

----

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Namecheap Support!

Please accept our sincere apology for any frustration this issue may have caused you. Let us just clarify the issue: WhoisGuard protects domain contacts 7 days after expiration. After that WhoisGuard is disabled and depending on TLD contact details may or may not be displayed. Therefore these details are not mentioned in the quoted message. We would like to assure you that we have forwarded your feedback regarding the issue to the corresponding department and they will consider implementing it as soon as possible.

The TLDs provided below usually have their contact details revealed in 7 days: .us.com ; .de.com ; .pw ; .website ; .press ; .host ; .online ; .space ; .io ; .co ; .me ; .info ; .biz ; .link ; .xyz ; .site ; .london ; .club ; .design ; .rent ; .college ; .tech ; .cn.com ; .eu.com ; .gb.com ; .gb.net ; .uk.com ; .uy.com ; .hu.com ; .no.com ; .qc.com ; .ru.com ; .sa.com ; .se.com ; .se.net ; .za.com ; .jpn.com ; .ae.org ; .kr.com ; .ar.com ; .us.org ; .com.de ; .wiki ; .fans ; .com.se ; .gr.com ; .jp.net ; .la ; .rest ; .bar ; .ink ; .co.com ; .love ; .br.com ; .uk.net ; .hu.net ; .in.net ; .mex.com ; .theatre ; .security ; .protection ; .cloud ; .top ; .us ; .bid ; .trade ; .webcam ; .men ; .black ; .pink ; .blue ; .red ; .kim ; .shiksha ; .lgbt ; .poker ; .pro ; .accountant ; .download ; .loan ; .racing ; .win ; .review ; .date ; .party ; .faith ; .cricket ; .science ; .mobi ; .voto ; .vote ; .green ; .mom ; .porn ; .adult ; .vegas ; .global ; .sex ; .irish ; .bz ; .vc ; .game ; .asia ; .stream ; .com.bz ; .net.bz ; .com.vc ; .net.vc ; .org.vc ; .krd ; .film ; .one ; .sydney ; .melbourne ; .study ; .audio ; .blackfriday ; .christmas ; .click ; .diet ; .flowers ; .gift ; .guitars ; .help ; .hiphop ; .hiv ; .hosting ; .juegos ; .lol ; .photo ; .pics ; .property ; .sexy ; .tattoo ; .xxx

As a possible work-around it is possible to have an active domain removed from your Namecheap account. So if you have any non-expired domains in the account and you do not wish to renew them, you can just contact us and we will remove them. As a result, your contact details will be substituted with the ones of Namecheap and they will be shown in Whois.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Needless to say I won’t do business with any company that doesn’t take privacy of their customers seriously.

They don’t even warn you Whois Guard is about to expire.
Why is this still being posted? It's posted once per hour for the past two days.
Propaganda piece.
wow an official dependency manager. Didn't see that coming. Makes me happy.
I'm very envious of what you've achieved, I actually wanted to start a SaaS doing almost the same as what w3counter does, but I figured because products like yours that the market wasn't worth attempting.
While there's nothing overtly political in the post, I'd mention that factors like this are much more likely to enter real world consideration when you have a situation where "right and left have broken down".

In particular, the median voter theorem states:
"The median voter theorem states that 'a majority rule voting system will select the outcome most preferred by the median voter'" - IF (big if) "voters can place all election alternatives along a one-dimensional political spectrum."

I guess this means my 13 year old won't have to watch a full 30 second add for Viagra any more.
In addition to that, I don't know anything about LLD, but when a compiler toolchain for language X also has its own linker, it means the linker can take advantage of the language semantics, which aren't necessarily properly supported in a system linker.

As an example, many of the C++'s drawbacks regarding build systems was because Bjarne wanted that the generated object files and libraries could be transparently linked by a linker that only understood C.
Stigma around ops and QA work.
There should exist companies with cultures friendly to people like you. I'm quite surprised that given your high level skills and what seems very minor communication problems, anyone actually judges you that hard. Seems like you had very bad luck with your working environments. Have you tried to research companies with spesific culture that could suit you well? Also maybe you could start your own business and avoid unwanted communication this way?
A lot of commenters are going to try to pick you apart, so instead of that I'm going to tell you an anecdote about what's wrong in this world.

I know a guy who literally could not program, he was hired as a HTML & CSS front-end guy. He was extremely arrogant and always tried to act like he knew what he was doing when it was clear he had no clue, any sort of attempt at teaching would be met with a smug "yeah I already knew how to do that" reply. He wasn't even good at HTML or CSS, either. But he really did know how to suck up to HR, his boss, the management, and getting others to help him do his job. From the outside it seemed like he was competent, but in fact he was skilled at playing people. It would be a win-win for everyone if he was a manager, so his co-workers never have to deal with his horrible, bug-ridden code. This is the type of guy that gets ahead in life while brilliant programmers who lack the over-socialization that is expected these days live on welfare, with parents, or on the streets.
No. He clearly stated that usage of an "unsafe" implementation is safer in Rust than C/C++. See my other post.

Of note is the fact that George Rimar, Dmitry Golovin et al are working on getting Linux to boot linked by LLD. They've making a lot of progress -- when he started it didn't even successfully link.
I dunno, it's pretty funny to think that this scenario coexists with millions of bugs whose turnaround was one day, and that was still considered unacceptable by users.
I am all for having the mlocate program, but imposing a chron schedule on a server that causes heavy IO is stupid. Interestingly they have understood and disabled the mlocate chron in the server versions since at least 14.01. Have you administered a server with say 10m small files? It runs with negligible IO under normal traffic since recently accessed files are cached in memory, but running locate will kill its disks (sometimes physically).

There were other features in Unix for "decades", such as Bash Shellshock bug for example.
There are two kinds of tech converging here actually, so HN communities should be three imho: software eng as a field (marginally interesting to me), software eng for other industries (what drives me here), non technicals (hit and miss to me). The glue keeping these together, however, is mostly the YCombinator / SV cash-promise attraction imho.

Well, then, don't get upset when people persist in shaming you for trying to have your cake and eat it too. Ad blocking hurts a business model that allows us to have things without paying real money for them. Hopefully it isn't hard to understand why people are upset that you're allowing your personal preferences to jeopardize that.

Government can't legitimately force robot designers to give away their IP. That would eliminate the economic incentive for designing new robots. And having an industrial robot would be useless outside the context of a fully-equipment modern factory anyway.

How would you even define what the terms "robot" and "automation" mean in legal terms anyway? Almost everything man-made object around us is automation in some sense.
Regardless of opinions, the poster's first sentence does present an argument.

I'm not sure if this is a genuine question, but if so, the controversy is this: Why should ICANN have the power to suspend your domain name in the first place? How does the Internet get better by having an organization that can terminate your key business (or personal) asset just because you missed (or misread, keeping in mind not everyone is fluent in English and everyone is wary of scams) an email they sent you?
