I'm sure that making the primary means of long (greater than walking) distance transportation for the majority of the population more expensive and higher stakes is going to work out great in the long term. I can see the parallels with healthcare. Creating yet another part of life where a single screw up that is capable of ruining the financial well being of someone living slightly better than paycheck to paycheck is not going to do positive things in the long run.
Because they want to sell the movies. Just not to rental companies. Every DVD sold to redbox could be 20-30 DVDs that never get sold because people were able to rent it.

Yes, they do serve different purposes but they also share similarities. You could easily write a task queue on top of Faust.

It's important to remember that users had difficulty understanding the concepts behind Celery as well, perhaps it's more approachable now that you're used to it.

Using an asynchronous iterator for processing events enables us to maintain state. It's no longer just a callback that handles a single event, you could do things like "read 10 events at a time", or "wait for events on two separate topics and join them".
List Ad Profits Splash
I mean, I'm just speculating here, but that tweet makes it sound like they asked if they could add a real VPN specifically for the purposes of ad-blocking rather than for the purposes of being a VPN. And that is obviously just an attempt at an end-run around Apple's policies.

I realize the line is fuzzy here between "using a VPN to do ad-blocking" and "adding an optional ad-blocking feature to a VPN", but they are different concepts. Verizon's VPN appears to be a real VPN that simply has an optional ad-blocking feature. Perhaps the optional nature of the ad-blocking is important? I don't know.
Dynamical systems engineer for games and simulations. Portfolio out of necessity, because I've never been good at explaining with words what I do.

This gets complicated. At risk of putting something that could be misquoted, I am generally willing to play the game that people force me to play.

I want to play the "everyone gets along and supports each others' goals by being respectful of each others' dignity and agency" game, but if someone wants to try to mug me for my wallet, then I'm going to defend myself with force.

Similarly, if someone's epistemic process is "whatever I think works best for me, fuck everyone else" then I'll try to cause them to think that what I want happens to be what's best for them through whatever means happen to work. But it's tricky because maybe they have strong internal epistemics, while perpetrating manipulation on everyone else, and therefore I'm actually equivocating and doing a golden rule thing where I'm not respecting their actual epistemic process, but rather the epistemic process they are trying to enforce on others.

In the case of people acting in good faith, there's little or no difference. In the case of a bad actor, there may be a huge difference.

When I posted I was imaging the "good faith" scenario. Maybe the switch to "I respect the epistemics that people try to enforce on others" is fine, but it's not exactly how I put it in the post you're replying to.

In practicality, just given the tiny summary you provided, my move would be to cause those powerful people to correctly see what was true or false according to their epistemics, ie. I'd try to counteract the manipulation. And if I were dealing with a bad actor I'd try to do it in a way that didn't position me as their enemy, but rather make it seem to them like they just failed to mislead the powerful person the way they had hoped.
What I'm noting in these articles is an absence of mentions of Google or newspapers.

You have nothing to back up the statement that "reusable rockets are not a hard problem", and let me back up this claim of mine by pointing out that only partial reusability exists today. In addition I invite you to build reusable rocket systems, sir, since you have already claimed that the problem is "easy". You could make some good money solving that problem, and you would once and for all put this argument to bed.
I don’t know... all these levels are over complicating a simple concept. The way I look at wealth is binary: “Can I stop working today and maintain a lifestyle that I am comfortable with indefinitely?” Most people, even those who consider themselves well-off, cannot say yes to that question. People like to try to gauge whether they are middle class or upper middle class or upper lower middle class... whatever. There is no real defining characteristic. At the end of the day, most of us are N missed paychecks away from insolvency. N may be large but unless it’s infinite, we are in the same bucket: our labor pays for our existence, not capital.

There are people who can just sit there collecting checks and their lifestyle is never in jeopardy, because of investment income. They’re the only ones I’d consider truly wealthy.
Would you please not rant like this to HN? You may have a substantive point in there but you need to make it more thoughtfully.
They are great cameras. Great usability and super robust. There are videos where a guy cleans his dusty K-5 with a water hose. Problem is the lens and accessory selection. Sigma and Tamron used to support them but not anymore. The old Pentax lenses are excellent quality but new lenses are coming out only slowly.

My biggest gripe was focusing performance. The lenses and cameras can be horribly slow to focus. That's why I switched to Fuji which is much better.

That’s true. It took two years for Apple to sell thier first million. It wasn’t until both the music store came online and iTunes was released for Windows that it took off.

But even by 2007, a small percentage of the music people had on iPods were bought through iTunes (less than 10%?) according to Jobs “Thoughts on Music” essay.
Lol, AMD GPU support is great under Linux.
I typically thought of "wealthy" as discernible through a single question:

"Is the vast majority of the money you spend on a daily basis from capital, or wages?"

If capital, you're wealthy.
If wages, you're not.
The “wining” team, this time, didn’t really win, now did they? They lost by 3 million votes. Without going into what Russia did to tip this elections, which were won by mere 70,000 votes in the 3 key states.

This is for sure not your usual right vs left style of governing. It’s the right not accepting that they’ve lost. It’s the self righteousness of people who think they have the right to govern, no matter what.

We can check from another perspective. Apparently the whole internet is around 70 TWh/year from datacenters alone in 2016 (link to actual study is broke):
https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2016/06/28/ho...

Reddit is apparently the 3rd most popular website:
https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/8n959q/reddit_j...

No idea where this info comes from but it gives 1.8 TWh/yr for (the now fourth most popular site) facebook in 2016:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/580087/energy-use-of-fac...

Does it make sense for total reddit usage to be ~3.5 TWh/year in 2018? It seems to be in the right ballpark, but who knows how circular these calculations are.

Turning that argument around, in a fair and competitive market would it be impossible for a company to grow to a $1T valuation?

Do you think the majority of Apple's $1T valuation is attributable to abuse of government regulation or patents?
Nice try idea thief.
The result of this nitpicking might end up being a bad middle ground in terms of the scope and efficacy of such a proposed regulation.

The knee-jerk response might be to argue against this based on exactly the non-blanket nature of such a policy (i.e. it does not apply to all companies with in-house cafeterias, tech or not, subsidized or not).

The more practical option that takes advantage of the same sliver of regulation is for a few high paid workers to simply incorporate their own eatery or buy out a midsized one and serve X tech company directly for a good rate. Business as usual, as it were.

This second option may seem malevolent but it doesn't skirt any existing business laws, and once they fine tune their selling points (menu, proximity to company, delivery, perks, billing, credit, etc) it wouldn't be infeasible for them to gain the full on contract with those edges over the existing mom+pop competition.

In a grand backfire someone then gets into a multi-branch cafeteria/catering business that just happens to have big tech as their only clients, etc.

Repeating (for the second time) a comment I made here in 2010: "Back in Macworld Boston 1996, I bought one share of Apple stock at $16 and got a framed commemorative stock certificate. It went into a box when I moved later that year and I completely forgot about until I found it a couple of weeks ago. It's worth almost $1,000 now!"

In the meanwhile, I sold off some of it, but a good chunk of it went into the downpayment for my house last year.

I didn't think of that, but it could be an interesting feature to be able to select other "info-providers", as you said Rotten Tomatoes for example.

I have in mind to implement some categories options (in case that everything you're searching is related), also localization (since certain things are very dependent on the language), and it could work to include a provider selection as well.

I'm not too happy with the interface at the moment, but I'm looking forward to an UI update.

true; unit tests will rarely find bugs, especially if you're writing the tests after the code.

Unit tests are meant to ensure that when you add features, fix bugs, or refactor, that you don't break what's already working.

If this means your unit tests don't catch bugs, then it could be that you're not introducing any! yay!

But I have found that by forcing myself into TDD, I do find more cases than when I was writing tests after code.

By writing the tests before I've begun the implementation, it forces you to think about preconditions, invariants, and postconditions in a more disciplined way.
> no more witch-hunting from the whistleblower.

I think the issue raised is the definition of Holmann's actions as whistleblowing or witchhunting.

If it's the latter, that would seem to imply he shouldn't have engaged in that witchhunt, in which case the ban on Philip Cross would definitely not have come to pass. Are you saying this should be the case?

If it's the former (whistleblowing), it can't be defined as witchhunting and you must agree Holmann should not be restricted.

You can only agree with one of the above and remain logically consistent.

Tax evasion is very old-fashioned.
As a tradeable commodity, I'd say that an easy bar for having "made it" would be when you see a BTC exchange-traded fund on a major stock exchange. Progress seems to be happening on that, but we'll see.

As a currency, I'd say that, in the narrow case of BTC itself, failure is baked into its design. The current protocol imposes an estimated upper limit of 3-7 transactions per second on the network. That's just not acceptable for a currency (assuming it has dreams of being more useful and widely accepted than Ithaca Hours, anyway), and the suggested plans around forking are awkward at best.

There are also solutions like the Lightning network. To me, I have a hard time seeing those as efforts to make Bitcoin a currency so much as efforts to create a new currency that is backed by Bitcoin. Sort of like the gold standard of old, where different currencies were backed by commodity reserves.
Something else Google Maps does: it calls religious buildings "businesses" (if no-one has claimed them, then you'll see a "Claim this business" link when you click on them). This is a huge libel against those religions. Churches, mosques, synagogues, buddhist temples, all are "businesses" to Google.

I would love to know if they are building on RISC-V. That would give them nice integration and no additional cost.
In general, yes. However, from my own experience, there is a (small and industry-specific) subset of "Excel developers", especially in investment banks, hedge funds etc that know both.
There's a tiny fraction who own significant wealth that are in a special level 5 or higher. "I don't care what anything costs."

I think there is a point where the costs become non-monetary.

Which is to say, there is a level up where the things you wish to do with your money require regulatory or social approval which can be quite a bit more "expensive" and onerous.

Here is an example:

In recent years, George Lucas wanted to build a third rural campus in Marin county[1] on a piece of ranch property that he already owned. Despite providing his own, fully staffed, private fire department[2], bequeathing a vast majority of the land to open space, and generally absorbing all possible costs (and, in my opinion, developing with a very high level of taste and restraint) he was denied at every turn and eventually had to give up on the project.

This was not due to lack of funds.

[1] The first two being Skywalker Ranch, home of Skywalker Sound and Big Rock Ranch, home of the new winery/retreat.

[2] Which also responds to public emergencies off the ranch.
Incorporate. Seriously.

Setup a corporation owned by a trust, all your assets go into the corporation. If you have a catastrophic life changing event, your base will be secure.

You can also rent your home back from yourself and write off things you can't do as a homeowner (depreciation, upgrades, interest, etc.).

Moving your assets to their own entity is how you protect them. Should something go wrong, you have no assets for them to come after as they're owned by the trust. You can use your lifetime estate giving to help avoid taxes on the first few million. Plus if you're putting things in there before they've appreciated over decades, it will be at a lower cost basis as well.

Discuss this with an accountant and attorney that understands trusts and the tax implications of course.

Cisco follows a survival of the fittest strategy without really saying it or pushing teams/acquisitions to the death.

They provide all the resources you need, are very ethical and help your newly acquired team do your best. If your team (business unit as they call it) doesn't cut it after a few years, they start maneuvering those resources elsewhere. But they've always given every acquisition a fair chance to have their own story. See: Meraki, Insieme, Webex.

Cisco probably doesn't care if a few of their startup acquisitions don't work out.

Without giving too much away about what kind of app this is, it's a missing app that I often see longed for on this forum. There are beginner apps like it and advanced apps, but no intermediate app like the one I have in my mind and heart. I suspect it's because all the advanced apps like it started out as intermediate apps, but said "yes" to every single feature its users asked for until they became that complicated.

It's not the kind of app anyone would spend money for an intermediate version of. But I am extraordinarily excited about using it myself, and other people who I have talked to about it are too. So I think I am going to make the app, make it freely available, and set up a Patreon for it. I have to make it outside work hours though so that slows it down. Maybe I should make a demo or prototype first and set up a Patreon before releasing it to help fund me spending more time on it more quickly...
