Sure, but it's hardly the best value proposition to justify a $2000+ new product type that claims to be a revolutionary form of technology.
Most re-edited movies are mostly composed of parts of the original movie, so there is redistribution. The most similar case here is ClearPlay, which only instructs the video player on how to skip certain parts of the video, and that was not considered copyright infringement.
Pay-to-win and microtransaction models have proliferated the gaming industry over the past decade or so. I'd wager that purchasing of cheats/hacks appeals to the same sort of gamer.

Well, it has a gravitational effect, so it definitely exists inside of our normal spacetime.

Scientists have explored alternative models of gravity or spacetime with additional spatial dimensions and things like that. As far as I know, none of them are very promising. There was an interesting PBS space time video about one example recently: https://youtu.be/3HYw6vPR9qU

Of course, it is definitely interesting to think about :)

Is Dark Matter Bose Einstien Condesate? (2014)
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18197988:

> MIOpen[1] is a step in this direction but still causes the VEGA 64 + MIOpen to be 60% of the performance of a 1080 Ti + CuDNN based on benchmarks we've conducted internally at Lambda. Let that soak in for a second: the VEGA 64 (15TFLOPS theoretical peak) is 0.6x of a 1080 Ti (11.3TFLOPS theoretical peak). MIOpen is very far behind CuDNN.

That performance penalty is a bit too steep for me. Vega64 should be 1.3x perf compared to 1080ti, but instead it is 0.6x. 50% lower performance is quite a sacrifice.
So far I have read in various articles why monopolies, competition, rational actors, irrational actors (for overcoming crisis), long term investors, and short term sellers are good for the markets.

Are there any actors which are bad for the market?

Package managers come with their own limitations. You can't have multiple versions of the same application, packages are often out of date, packages sometimes conflict, you can't choose where applications are installed, etc.

And storage is ridiculously cheap. You can get an 8TB HDD for $150[0]. Or a 1TB SSD for the same price[1].

It's right there in the article: Only patents relating to the upstream kernel are included. The "Linux System Definition" is the baseline for the non-aggression pact.

The exfat system is not part of the Linux System Definition because it is not part of the upstream kernel, so it isn't covered by the non-aggression pact, so Microsoft did not include the exfat patents.
> Serves you right for using a “real-time database” (whatever that is).

I see this is flagged, but FWIW, you might want to actually learn something about what they mean by “realtime database” because it’s incredibly useful, and people using Firebase aren’t the only people who think so.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_database

Firebase is also easy to use and scales to large sites and complex applications, despite the complaints here about reliability, reporting and control, or lack of. A flat file and simple web socket server crumbles under loads that Firebase handles easily.
That's one reason, yes. I don't know why you started your sentence with "no"
1. This is an article on "technologynetworks.com", if that's where you expect to get valid science reporting...

The original paper is titled: "Transgenerational transmission of hedonic behaviors and metabolic phenotypes induced by maternal overnutrition"

"Overnutrition", not high fat, which brings us to #2:

When they say High Fat Diet in these papers, they don't mean Keto or Atkins or anything like that.
They mean: "fat mice", "overfed mice" etc.

As far as I know, no, because emergency Caesareans are available (I was an emergency Caesarean - my mother was told I was 'small', and I ended up being close to 13lbs[1]), but it can cause other complications - my sister still has a small scar from a forceps birth, and the recovery time was longer for my mother.

[1] The entire pre-birth care was flawed - at one point they couldn't find a pulse for over 24 hours and they were telling my mother to induce labour (because I was dead...).

Impossible to disagree with you. But, using your own words: " it was the one that got everything right"... That for me is what made the magic.
I've seen planes overhead full because it's not sized to support everyone bringing the max-size bag.
I think futurists with a progressive bent can also be guilty of the opposite: assuming the cultural future somehow won't follow the present. The age of technological advancement will inevitably be good, because it will also miraculously be missing all our current bugbears like prejudice and inequality, which technology might otherwise worsen, rather than eliminate.

If we like to think that we're far more advanced than our predecessors, the conclusion is that our descendants will leave us in the dust. Maybe misplaced faith in the former encourages our hope for the latter over a dystopia where everything is as bad as it already is, only worse.
Maintain focus without letting distractions and burn out stop you
As a developer, sometimes I found myself lost in a big project that also requires to build small projects (that sometimes turn into big as well). It is scary to look back and forth then see how many they are. I used to squeeze every drop of energy and burden to work on tasks. It’s not healthy.

I developed a focus system that adaptable to distractions, and burn out (a.k.a changes and disasters), and reinvent it every time a new change happen. My productivity improved and I’m able to complete more works than ever before.

I'd like to share my experience about overcome distraction, burn out and be able to maximize my productivity hours. Details at https://hackernoon.com/how-to-maintain-extremely-focus-eff4d09e26df

That being said, though I agree the economist is allowed to charge whatever it wants for us to read their articles, I don't think their pay walled articles should be allowed in HN, as only a minor portion of the reader base would be able to access the content legally.
There's probably some truth to this, but it doesn't take much imagination to imagine how the babies could be "seeded" after a C-section birth.
I think it's similar to any other discretionary product where people pay for after market accessories or additional add-on real and cosmetic features.

People pay $$$'s to mod their sports cars with additional speed but drive them in urban areas. Or they'll add cosmetic exhausts for looks.

Gamers might want to skip levels or access advanced locked features without investing huge amounts of time. Gamers might also enjoy the thrill of playing the game in a way that it wasn't meant to - with hacks or cheats.
I'm sorry, but this is just so wrong. I'm not saying humans can't eat meat, but if you compare the digestive track and other physiological factors of humans to animals that actually evolved to eat meat like lions the difference is startling. On the spectrum of cow to lion we are very far from the lion end so to say humans "evolved to preferentially run on fatty meat from large game animals" is just plain wrong.

Here is a somewhat entertaining video with some specifics and sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmXynDLkbXY

There is also a ton of anthropological data on how our diets actually did evolve and although there are exceptions the gist is that we mainly relied on gathered plants with occasional meat.

The cost-savings argument doesn't really work. For one thing, those savings aren't real. What does "ample amount of meeting rooms" mean? It means a higher seat-per-employee ratio, just to make up for the inconvenience of their main seats not being usable for those huddles. And speaking of inconvenience, time spent walking to/from rooms and waiting outside rooms for the last group to get out and adjusting chairs and wiping boards and picking up your crap is all time not spent producing. I've seen many people lose 5-10 minutes of productivity every hour of every day like that. That's not cost savings. Neither is the effect on productivity when people are in their primary seats. Look at any company's expense breakdown. Personnel will be at or near the top; real estate will be much further down. Keeping people more productive is a much bigger cost savings than cheaping out on real estate.

I contend that there is no way to implement an open-office system that truly reduces costs. The only reason they're so common is a combination of cost insensitivity and cargo culting.
The problem is that some of the big questions in physics appear very simple if your knowledge of the subject lacks any depth. It is also very difficult for some people to gauge the depth of their knowledge. All of this is exacerbated by endless popular science shows which give people the sense of understanding, without the necessary substance. In short, it is not enough to understand by analogy, you need the math and the science. Most people who aren’t in the field lack that, but are culturally inclined to comment.

Luckily there are some countries that have been more allowing of cannabis research than the United States so the research will catch up rather quickly I should hope. I agree that the pillpushers will undoubtedly fight until the bitter end.
Most of your requirements depend on the quality of each particular workplace; the only aspect that is susceptible to advice is the alignment between somewhat relaxed environment, more or less Android and web for technology, and hard technical problems.

For that, I suggest companies that are as small as possible (you would be more of a generalist and less of a cog), established (filtering out bad ideas and incompetent teams, and ensuring the time to reach a high competence level), product-oriented (to work on interesting improvements, customizations, support requests of something you can become an expert of, instead of random low quality consultancy projects).

As specific examples: machines of all sorts (likely computer-controlled and with external management apps and other auxiliary software) or business software at the intermediate scale at which customers are many enough to ensure stability and variety, but large enough to need interesting kinds of individual attention.

Yep! Companies in the GPU Open Analytics initiative like Conda (dask, conda), MapD, Ursa Labs (Arrow, Pandas), BlazingDB, and ourselves (Graphistry!) are making a full ecosystem of GPU analytics, similar to what happened with Hadoop for the last 10-15 years. There is little point for all of us to keep reimplementing basic things like in-GPU database scans (PyGDF), and we want fast interop for ecosystem composition / network effects (GPU take on Arrow). Members are contributing pieces we believe are / should be commodity for the GPU wave to get here faster and bigger.

The RAPIDS team has been really stepping up here -- PyGDF, and various bindings & IO helpers -- and collaborating with many of us to get them right. Another member was intending to share as the open compute core, but was insufficiently open (kept multigpu proprietary?), and had little uptake, so Nvidia stepped up with RAPIDS. The result is a more neutral solution, and already with demonstrated framework dev uptake uptake. And hopefully, more GPU compute everywhere, faster :)
The bigger companies I worked for in the Bay Area were more like this than the smaller.

As a late 40-something who started his own marketing & technology agency to get out of the "working for others and their bad boss habits" conundrum, the one thing I can strongly recommend is that you have to interview companies as carefully as they interview you.

I've directly hired more than 100 people in my career, and it was always notable to me how many people show up for an interview, answer questions, ask just a few, and then accept a position in a company without any qualifying process of their own. People take jobs that are offered to them, more or less.
> Imagine someone making paper boats out of a book, selling them for one dollar each and the book has 300 pages (but costs 20 dollars). Is making paper boats suddenly copyright infringement? Or breach of contract?

This isn't a good analogy. Creating and distributing cheats ruins the play experience for everyone. Making paper boats doesn't detract from anyone else's enjoyment of reading a book.
Well it did at one point, and still does in the eyes of software development employers

I have never heard of this before. I'm not going to give an opinion off the cuff on something I know nothing about.
Sure, and there are some places that include tax in the listed price. Usually businesses that do this figure it out so the price after tax comes to a whole number. This goes against the common .99 marketing psychology, and is a red flag that they might be skimming.

However if the sale is online and the company has a presence in multiple states they have to charge based on the user, which they cant do until they know who the user is.

Edit: Just to be clear I wish they would put the final price.
Here is a picture I found of Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia, they have price tax and total for each item.

It's because these "lab-grown human body parts" are in fact organoids, which have the correct microanatomical features but do not at all look like the full-scale organs we are used to from biology class.
Something that the article did not mention: Short sellers reduce volatility and lead to smaller drops.

Why? Because having shorters guarantees that you will have a buyer for a stock that is falling. To exit a short trade you need to purchase shares. This helps prevent stocks from falling too low out of panic or undervaluation, benefiting people who are long the stock.

Choosing a language is a purely pragmatic issue. You grab the tool that's best suited for a job at hand. I've just started using Go because it's easy to get things done in it and has good tooling and already good libraries.

The time I was most productive with my hobby/shareware programming so far was when I used Realbasic, the Visualbasic clone sold by Andrew Barry as affordable shareware before it became the ultra-expensive mess that is now called Xojo.

Language features are fairly irrelevant, sure Go has some weird oddities for a language of the 21st Century, but it has everything I need to get things done.

As for Rust, I really tried to like it, but so far the only thing I see is an overly complex, anal-retentive language focused on perceived safety but without Ada's readability and long-term maintainability and, just like Ada, without an optional GC but, unlike Ada, without other standard features like integer subtypes and OO with inheritance. I have been downvoted for this just yesterday, there are apparent many ardent language afficionados for Rust on HN, so I need to stop here. I definitely would choose Rust for high-integrity software that doesn't need the guarantees of Spark, but I currently don't write such software.

Go is a great language despite its quirks, verbose error handling and lack of generics because it has a large developer base, compiles fast, compiles to reasonably fast executables, and allows me to get things done relatively fast in certain domains like CLI tools. Unfortunately, it still lacks a good, non-license encumbered cross-platform GUI library, so it's not a full replacement for REALBasic yet. I hope this changes soon, Go would be ideal for developing mid-size desktop applications.
I do lament the seeming death of single-player cheat codes. It was a lot of fun screwing around with invulnerability or noclip mode turned on, or some of the weird easter eggs that were included in games like Age of Empires. In single player, the only person you're cheating is yourself, and if I want to bypass some sucky level or fiddly puzzle, where is the harm in that?
Blaise Pascal -- though at first glance, I was sure it was Akira Kurosawa. I tracked down his variant, which apparently hashes to the same bucket in my cerebram:

Situational awareness goes way down when people walk around with headphones with loud music. I notice it on a lot of people and how they behave in traffic. Just listening to things around you can be quite interesting as you move around. I never wear headphones for this reason.

On interesting thing is to open the windows (and sunroof) in an electric car, whilst driving in built up areas < 20 mph/35 km/h, you hear a lot more what is going on (including insects and birds) and it is a very different experience.
Can't they just fix their game to make the cheats stop working? I'm sure many of his customers would be mad at him for this.
That is an anecdotal opinion not based in much reality. And if the majority of the world really does wish to turn this planet into a mass, hollow consumerist engine to make rich people richer then get me off of it because we really should be killed by a meteor.
Good for Epic. Distributing hacks like this actively harms the game experience for everyone else and damages Epic's brand and business. It's not so dissimilar from DDoSing a SaaS company and encouraging others to do the same.

Why doesn't anyone talk to us? "Because you're xenophobic hatemongers who only understand competition and packwolf mentality.

AWS AppSync and Amplify
Well, I think even more than HFS or zFS, they use the MVS classic filesystem (datasets etc.) But that too is semi-hierarchical. (I say "semi" because to some extent the hierarchy is just a naming convention, but to some extent it's real – the initial qualifiers of a dataset name can be really hierarchical in that can select which catalog is used; and then of course PDS/PDSE members are an additional one-level hierarchy on the end.)

But you are right, there is nothing especially database-oriented about file lookup and naming on IBM mainframes. Record-oriented files and key-sequenced VSAM files (and once upon a time ISAM too) are database-oriented features, but they relate to file contents not file naming/lookup/etc.

I think the idea of catalogs is interesting, in that they permit a separation between the naming of datasets and the volumes they are stored upon. A dataset can be moved to another volume without changing the name used to access it. That is arguably more complex on Unix-like systems, since you need to muck around with symlinks or bind mounts to get the same effect.
This is an interesting point. I know what my network topology looks like because I found out back when Wolfram Alpha was able to key into the Facebook API. I'm at the periphery of many networks, but among my close friends a couple of them are super-connectors within mutual networks.

So on the one hand, one might expect that I have influence just due to network position; but really, I've just been talking to the people I figure would know the most among these networks' topics.

Curious about which is next door to the modern home - is it a modern home with a pool, next to a 1950s home? Or is it a modern home next door to a house with a pool, in a different neighborhood than the 1950s house?

In the past, I've heard that a house's value can maximize at 140% of the value of its neighbors, so a 1950s house in the same neighborhood as the modern house might drag down the modern house's value.
