> will increasing the power of the state make such behavior less or more lucrative?

More lucrative because the state has a monopoly on the legal use of force. Legislation is cheap compared to real innovation. Furthermore, legislation is backed by the legal system which prevents the cash flow to Comcast from decreasing in this case. The legal system is fueled by tax money not Comcast's money. Comcast is benefiting from an instrument created and paid for by the citizenry to create an unfair balance of power in their own favor because the legislators which supposedly represent the people created the laws which are unjust to the people and are no longer representing the people but are instead representing their own pocketbook which is being stuffed by Comcast. As this trend continues we may experience an influx of non traditional political opponents similar to what we saw in the national elections one year ago.
I don't understand this sentiment. I understand Kotlin has more features than Java, and of course it's tough to call the advanced things from Java. At least so I would think.
> the right thing for Comcast to do

Are you saying that as a Comcast shareholder? If so, bravo. I wish more of them thought the same way.
I am impressed. Sentry is a brilliant bit of code available for everyone to download and use. It just works and gets better all the time.

And really, in terms of load - at that scale it's all pretty impressive. The payloads are big. They contain the full stack trace along with most the local vars.

Contrast it to how many people it takes to block any on chain scaling. As everyone practically runs Core the power in practice lies with their maintainers.

Bitcoin as it is now is crippled. There is no reason to block on chain scaling except for the Core maintainers to retain their power and allow their second layer solutions to viable.
It's time for Facebook and Twitter to start closing/banning Chinese and Russian mouthpiece from setting up pages on its platform.
I get the idea, but I would think the right use of the product is to fix the root causes, or suppress errors that aren't actionable. I was basing this off of somewhere on the site that mentioned roughly 200 companies using it. Perhaps it's grown. Would be interesting to know the total per month after they are deduplicated.
I saw they were/are offering free rides to anyone who wants to be one of the testers in my metro area. I'm all for free but I'm not too sure about being a human beta test lol.
Epic indeed. I've been using their services for a few years now. Very good service all in all and very good value for the money. Thumbs up, Hetzner.
Most of Norway is very far from the arctic circle. And even the few bits that are close to the artic circle are pretty warm most of the year. Thanks to the gulf stream most of Norway rarely gets that cold.
It's both. It's a bug in a library that wallet contracts import. Everything is working perfectly as intended on the Ethereum/Solidity end.
Waterfall means at least two things. I'll assume for my answer that it means only one of two things which I'll discuss.

All development process models assume the following tasks:

Requirements collection
Analysis
Design
Development
Testing
Deployment

After the first iteration, you move to maintenance. The only difference for maintenance is that "requirements collection" is more focused on collecting problem reports and change requests. Most of the requirements are already established.

Waterfall:

One meaning, the original and literally the worst thing ever, is that each of those activities is completed essentially in whole before the next and without feedback from the successor activities. The only feedback is when you get to maintenance and collect PRs/CRs from the customer and start the whole thing again.

The practical versions introduce some feedback loops but typically only up one level at a time. So test obviously feeds back to development which feeds back to design, etc. The problem here is that this is still a very slow process.

The problem with waterfall (the practiced version) beyond the poor feedback loops is also the time delays involved. Your analysis board which decides which PRs/CRs to work on may only meet every 6 months. So the average PR will sit in a queue for 3 months before it's even considered for work. And the results of the analysis board may not make it to the developers for another 3 months so the average PR won't be worked on for 6 months. And because many PRs are collected and started at once, integration testing typically waits until they're all done. So it could be a year or two before a full integrated build is produced and an issue discovered which forces you back to the design phase to fix a critical issue.

And, while the developers and testers are doing their thing another analysis board meeting happens and introduces more PRs. By the time a product gets released it's often 1-3 years behind what the customer actually wants or needs.

Waterfall only works if you have trivial projects, or projects with very clearly defined scopes and requirements that are being planned on the order of years or even decades anyways. This isn't most software.
Peach Brother! ;)

Bitcoin markets are a simulation of what would happen if you replaced the small group of people controlling governments and central banks with a small group of internet trolls, who held 95%+ of all available currency between them.
Keycloak does some really great things. It does require managing a Java runtime though, and is missing the streamlining that allows AuthN to run as an invisible API.

Keycloak (and similar) hosts and renders your login page. You customize through theming. You're expected to redirect users through a standard OAuth2/OIDC flow on a different domain.

AuthN doesn't render any HTML. That's all you, from start to finish. This means you have control over the UX and can build the login page directly into your own app, just like you would when using an auth library in a typical monolith.
> The whole idea of inequality, while potentially useful, kind of assumes a fixed pie.

No. The idea of income inequality assumes that no matter the size of the pie, everyone should have a decent slice of pie that lets them live comfortably.

Industrialization was supposed to reduce the amount of hours we work and increase our quality of life. We seemed to have reached a floor at 40/50 hours a week and many many people are struggling to make ends meet, even if the richest countries in the world. There's a problem.
City run broadband delivers a higher quality service at a lower cost everywhere I've heard of it happening. It's hardly something they have to 'resort' to. I wish my city was so lucky.
Full disclosure: I am the co-founder and lead developer at https://www.locally.com. We do exactly what I describe below and we're seeing great results. People want to buy from their local stores. They just need the modern paths to purchase: BOPIS (buy online pick up in store), local delivery, and the knowledge oh what is in stock nearby.

IMHO, the real path forward for retail is to get their in-stock goods in front of online shoppers via their brands' web sites, their own web site and local marketplace sites. Ecommerce is not the solution because nobody can expect to compete with Amazon.

Brands are learning the hard way that they cannot go D2C (direct to consumer), nor make a profit off selling on Amazon. They HAVE to support their network of retailers: small and large.

Yes, the day of reckoning for retail is coming. But it won't be an apocalypse. 90+% of retail transactions still occur in a brick and mortar store and people love to shop. Most retailers (and brands) just don't have the data and tools (yet) to drive traffic to stores. They're still figuring out the Amazon problem.

We're getting there though.
There are always 5 different ways to do everything. For what it's worth, I've gone with the simple vim.plug. I don't worry about whether it's compatible with any other way of installing plugins. I just add a single line to my vimrc file per plugin and type :PlugInstall.
arguably, the tuition being waived does have a value and is given as part of employment compensation. How would it be any different that if my employer provided a free gym membership, which is considered taxable income even though it is money I never get.

As I’ve noted in other contexts, I believe that as a general matter antitrust enforcement should be much more expansive and aggressive than it’s been in recent decades. But that’s a separate point. The key here is selective enforcement to advance political ends. We don’t know that that is what’s happening here. But given the players involved we have good reason to be highly suspicious.
At least on a performance vehicle, that's still far too heavy IMO. 40ish lbs? The (cheap) wheels on my Miata are 11 lbs, without any exotic materials or crazy engineering. Almost quadrupling the unsprung mass is a hard sell performance-wise.
> The whole idea of inequality, while potentially useful, kind of assumes a fixed pie.

No. It simply says group A has a big pile of stuff, whereas B has a small pile. Which is factually true.

It's about piles, not pies.

Sorry for the awkwardly mixed metaphors.
I've never had this exact situation, but ours starts talking in response to unrelated things we've said, stuff on the tv, or even random sounds in the house (e.g. a book being dropped set it off once) several times a week. I've been getting tempted to unplug it.
I think you mean politicians and corporations. they are not really identified as people.

This is how the whole world has already got ruined. I wish people grow some spine and invest enough energy and time and take a stand to get what interests them and not become submissive into paying their hard earned money to make millionaires billionaire.
No. Has never happened
I wouldn't go that far, but I agree stack ranking is a really bad idea.

Uber seems to be full of bad ideas, so maybe it's a good fit.
I'm pretty sure there's a huge computer setup that takes up a good portion of the trunk space.
This sort of thing does happen in the industry and better during testing than half way up.

but I worry that there will now be an increase in the amount of FUD being pushed in the news. It already seems like the amount of muck being thrown at ANYTHING elon musk related has increased over the last few months.
I think it's just that the things you want don't translate into a good return on investment for the owners and so they don't get implemented. (i.e. customers would like them, but it would not translate into a increase in shopping large enough to actually justify the investment from the owner's point of view).

My wider (and a bit tangential/ranty) theory is that the most tacky, tasteless and lacking self-control customers are actually the most profitable, hence businesses generally tend to pander to them. It's just much easier to extract unreasonable amounts of money from someone who's unreasonable (an adult child basically) than from someone sensible and reasonable, so for example us techies are not the target for a lot of companies.
Well I have no idea about that part, you'll have to take it up with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15648310
The coercion is embedded in the corporate structure, where many employees do the actual work of bringing a new product to market, but only one executive has the power to fire any single one of them if they demand a greater share of the profits, or all of them if they form a cartel to collectively demand more.

The consumer does not have an option at the point of purchase to direct those dollars to specific employees. Their choice is to buy the phone and pay the executive the most, or to not buy the phone at all. You cannot buy the phone and direct the bulk of its purchase price to the guy who wanted to save the TRRS headphone jack.

Your option in that vein is to purchase enough stock in a public company to get a board seat, then propose that the workers be paid more, and the executives less. And hope you get enough votes. This is not realistically possible for any individual consumer.

The choice that "society" makes is to allow that company to continue to exist, and to operate itself as it sees fit. The decisions about the distributions of profits are overwhelmingly made by rich people alone, who unsurprisingly vote to direct the majority of profits to themselves.
This would be great!

Quake II and Q3A did have a BFG10K, though.
A bull market with pretty low volatility, though. Especially since the early summer. At this point, a 2% daily move in SPX would be a 4 sigma event. Making money from actively trading the market is much harder when ranges are small, and it's easy to die from a 1000 cuts when you don't adapt.
> Not sure why DTLA is so nonchalant about this. Don't see any construction whatsoever.

Presumably because LA finally managed to make a section of the city livable and they don't want to hasten its demise. Parking has pretty massive costs for quality of life and the livability of a city.

LA is just in a weird transition point right now, where even a furious pace of transit building isn't going to remake the car-centric infrastructure overnight.

I'm not super happy that this number is in the title because I find this number myself very irrelevant to our operations (not even sure this number is correct, it sounds too small). What's more challenging to us is the complexity of individual events and the bursting of it. A lot of interesting engineering went into that.
> I do question the 75 characters per line, though - is it just me or can that be a tad too short for body text if a larger font size set the width somewhere?

What concerns me is that they suggest 38% of the viewport width, wasting 62% of my screen.

For almost twenty years I used a browser window at half my screen width, with a console or other application in the other half. That's no longer possible, due to the number of sites which assume that browser windows are always full screen.

I like a 72-character width; I just don't want scads of wasted space on either side of those characters.

I don’t think the total size of the pie matters so much as the proportion.

Also, it’s relative positioning that determines happiness—i’d much rather live in a place where I can look my neighbor in the eye than one where I can leverage my privileges to provide myself many times a better life than my neighbor. I’m american; my quality of life could plummit without affecting my happiness much at all. But I have no idea what could compensate for someone living on my stoop in a tent.
No, they have 4 memory channels per Socket, and can use up to 2 DIMMs per channel. So provided only one DIMM is user per channel, this can fully utilize the meory bandwidth of a single socket. (It also depends on the memory module having enough ranks to provide enough internal parallelism, but the effect of that only shows in small memory accesses).

>What license could he have used that would have prevented the thing Intel did?

GPLv3: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.en.html

Specifically: "One major danger that GPLv3 will block is tivoization. Tivoization means certain “appliances” (which have computers inside) contain GPL-covered software that you can't effectively change, because the appliance shuts down if it detects modified software. The usual motive for tivoization is that the software has features the manufacturer knows people will want to change, and aims to stop people from changing them. The manufacturers of these computers take advantage of the freedom that free software provides, but they don't let you do likewise."

But that's not how legal systems works. If you're caught running a red light, you can't argue that "many other people are doing it, too". Similarly, if a dozen cars run a red light at the same time, and only you are stopped, the best you can do is argue discrimination; you still broke the law, and you're still culpable, and it's the police's prerogative to catch whomever they can.

That's also not how legal precedent works. Legal precedents in the US are derived from court decisions, not whether something is occurring en masse. I'm not even sure why precedents work, given that there's no "case" here.

Your misplaced cynicism about moral outrage becomes more obvious if you replace tax evasion with something much worse, e.g. child labour or human trafficking, something which is in fact prevalent, though probably not within Apple's sphere. But the moral outrage exists because these papers expose something so blatantly immoral that people are genuinely surprised and dismayed at the sheer scale at which rich companies and people are stockpiling money in secret. We know human trafficking occurs every day, all over the world; if someone uncovers a big network of, say, politicans involved in this trafficking, aren't we right to be outraged? Is it a "failure to see the world for what it is" just because it's accepted that evil things happen? How blasé can one get?

Re "don't you think they are entitled to try to save as much of it as they can?", this confuses morality with legality. As David Mitchell eloquently points out [1], the current systems are effectively a tax on conscience. Taxes are traditionally designed to incentivize good behaviour (e.g. tax breaks on saved pensions, because that benefits both you and society), but the system currently incentivizes bad behaviour among the select few who have the means and lack of scruples to do it, penalizing those who lack the means and are conscientious about their taxes.

No, HR does that for me. Have you even seen Naomi's pictures? If she wore anything like that at work in the USA it would absolutely be a problem. It's not "my own emotional relationship".

Reddit, HN, facebook, etc all had the founders generate content via lots of accounts until the sites became popular enough that they didn't need to generate content anymore. Reddit founders even discussed it on many interviews and of course on reddit itself. I remember years ago, they talked about how they created a bunch of content and fake accounts in order to generate interest and to make it seem like reddit was more active than it was. Essentially, in the beginning, most of the content and most of the comments were the founders and their friends submitting and responding to their own comments with a bunch of sock puppet accounts.

Essentially, it's fake it til you make it.
Yes, you'd have to also tax capital gains at ordinary rates to capture this. I think capital gains should only have inflation adjustments to their basis, they don't need their own special rates.

As awesome as the 1-click button is for getting products to your door, box fatigue is a real thing. Lately I just add products to my cart until one of those additions become pressing, then I review my cart and purchase. Half the items in there I wind up relegating to the "Save for Later" list.

Honestly, it also provides the thrill of impulse shopping without the guilt or monetary expense. Most of the "save for later" items never get ordered, or I realize they're part of a bigger project I need to make time for.
