I agree, the slightly darker top is nice to my eye and gives it a fine head-start to the natural aging process of yellowing the guitar.

I think some of the issues that were out there with regards to coloring were things like "racing stripes" where there would be significantly darker stripes of darkened color an inch or more wide that would run up the tops, which many people disliked. It never really bothered me too much, personally.

I agree on the improved tonal characteristics - the reason I say "improves" in quotes is that this is entirely subjective. Some people are very sensitive about these types of proclamations for some reason. I believe it does make for better tone, which is why I have a guitar with torrification (red spruce top) being built currently. To my ear it is louder and more articulate than the same species of spruce that hasn't been torrified. As you've said, it's opened up right from the start rather than waiting years for the wood to change enough to create that open sound.

Of course when it comes to the tone of the top wood, besides the bracing (which is obviously unbelievable important), I believe that the finish matters a lot and as thin a nitro finish as possible is ideal. I've drank the kool-aid with regards to hide glue as well. At the very least, it makes a neck reset (dove tail, glued joint neck) or any other type of surgery easier in the future.
Well, clearly not an exponential growth.

It is funny how my browser preferences has changed over last 5 years.

2014 me as a developer had Chrome as number 1 browser for both development and all rest. Firefox once a month just to check cross browser compatibility. And Safari was just installed without me using it.

2019 me uses Safari for everything except development. Excellent power consumption and UX. Firefox for development. And lastly Chrome for all web apps that only work on Chrome. ( Google Meet etc. )
I feel much much better that I am not dependent on chrome.

Lots of people assume end caps are on sale, but they usually never are, its just stuff that the store wants to sell to you really badly, which usually means high margins (because of crap quality, or overpricing), or the brand is paying them for the privilege.

Wouldn't Tor hide your ip from the VPS provider even if they're subpoena'd?

EDIT: I realized this question might be confusing in this context. I'm not talking about torrenting large files (which you wouldn't want to do over Tor). I'm just wondering if it's possible to run a VPS with 100% anonymity.
Since we launched last week, we have done ~$110,000 in trades. If you include our March Beta Launch we are over $350,000 from roughly 300 users.

To build trust we geoblock countries that have taken the position that peer-to-peer betting is illegal or requires a gambling license (like the US and the U.K). We also block users from financial sanctioned countries.

Centralized exchanges (Mt. Gox, Coincheck) basically keep all of their user’s funds in large wallets. If a hacker gets access to it, they can steal large amounts of money very fast.

SportX is a decentralized exchange, which means we never store funds on behalf of our users. User’s funds are stored in their personal wallets (self-custody), which puts security at the individual level.

Not really true. Poor people shop at places like Aldi's and other discount grocers.
It’s interesting to see the mindset over here at HN change over the year. I recall when MongoDB introduced their “commons clause”, RedisLabs did the relicensing and ElasticSearch doing the dual license open source code, there was quite some outrage over here.

I guess everyone is accepting that these clouds are in fact major threats to these projects, as providing these databases as a service is pretty much the only realistic way to get decent revenue numbers.

I think it’s good that CockroachDB is preemptively doing this, now that it has become more acceptable a practice.

But also HN is clearly not a startup and probably hasn't spent a cent on marketing.

In fact, as far as I've learned, a lot of the work here involves stopping bad actors/users rather than finding ways to get users.
I'm biased because I've worked on these things, but imo implementing garbage collection for a very limited set of data structures that are all deterministic or explicit in their deallocation is much easier to deal with than a general purpose GC for an entire program. It allows you to guarantee lock/wait free behavior on particular threads, which you don't get with a GC'd language as a whole (depending on the GC of course).
Sure. I don't see why the two can't coexist.

It's also a matter of life stages. I know I want to have a vegetable garden of my own, either vertical in the city, or regular one in the country, depending on where I end up in the future. But today, I very much enjoy the ability to order a dinner or a pizza whenever my wife and I don't feel like cooking after a full day of work.
A Wells notice is certainly a thing to distinguish from a suit, but does anyone ever refer to a Wells notice as a "suing" (perhaps "unofficially suing"), such that "officially suing" would need to be specified to make the distinction?

I agree there are big differences between these ISPs and Amazon. I was just making the point that Amazon's lack of a profit wouldn't exempt it from these regulations either. Profit is as much a bookkeeping/tax/business policy as it is an actual market signal.
> It would enable Apple to get rid of a shedload of insecure , spammy apps that provide minimal benefits to users in a crowded app market.

But those apps would still be Apple's problem, because they run on Apple's operating system. If Apple lets other "stores" on the platform, you can bet one of them is going to be the cesspool of every bad app there ever was; and when those apps do damage, Apple will be blamed.

Think of it this way: At the moment, there are two layers of protection for iOS users. The first layer is the app approval layer; the vast majority of malicious apps just don't get approved at all. Then, for those that slip past that defense, there are the normal OS defenses. And if an app is caught violating the rules, they can be kicked out.

If they let other app stores onto their platform, suddenly that first layer is gone: every malicious app in existence will find its way onto a chunk of their users' phones, at which point the OS protection are a single point of failure.

If I'm reading the article correctly, the author argues that it is no longer a scheduled drug. "Hemp" was previously de-scheduled, and the USDA now says "hemp" can contain any amount of THC, which would in turn make THC legal.

Their new license doesn't forbid others from offering a managed service. It simply requires the managed provider to pay them for a license. AWS, GCP, etc can still create a managed service.
This only applies to apps that use third party logins. If you roll your own login (and only your own login), then you require zero changes. The "Sign In With Apple" implementation, at least on the surface, appears to be a standard OpenID process -- the same thing that Facebook & Google use if you're offering a log-in through those accounts -- so actual dev time should be pretty minimal.

Now you're talking about the ad business, not the search business. In truth, Google isn't a search company, it's a advertising company with a search engine for market research. Once you look at it that way, you realize that Facebook and Amazon (to a certain extent) are direct competitors to Google, and they can't all be monopolies at the same time.
>...The "predatory" part was towards his competition. In areas where they operated he dumped product below cost.

Actually from reading your link, I don't get that impression that Standard Oil dumped product below cost to put competitors out of business. As your link states:

>...The testimonies
studied by McGee and summarized in this research show that the Standard Oil did
not acquire or out-compete its rivals by using predatory pricing. There is no clearcut case suggesting the opposite. In fact, Standard Oil was able to beat its
competition by charging lower prices to the general public because its own average
cost was significantly lower than the rest.

>...While there still remain a number of other allegations to which the
Supreme Court found Standard Oil guilty, that remains beyond the scope of this
research. What it can be concluded thus far is that the Supreme Court should not
have found Standard Oil guilty of using predatory pricing.

The link makes a lot of references to the John McGee paper on this subject. I think that paper can be found here:

I thought the exact same thing about unlimited time off but there is another aspect of unlimited PTO that I hadn't thought of until my current company said they were making the switch. The reasoning that was given for my company is that by switching to unlimited PTO it is going to free up cash and that cash can be used on other parts of the business. Two of the three major office sites for my company are in states that require payout of unused accrued PTO when an employee parts ways with the company. Companies that have offices in states that have the same rule about accrued PTO will have to have a larger cash reserve so that they can pay out to employees when they need to.
Good point. We shall wait and see how that turns out.

Right now their sales chat can't say how much that would cost.

It seem an alternative could be to provide something like a cPanel-like thing that would enable other companies to easily offer CockroachDB DBaaS solutions. That's adding value rather than subtracting.

> It gets lost easily;

How, unless the MUA is modifying quoted text beyond prefixing each line with >.

> intermixing mail clients that handle it with those that don't (or have been intentionally configured to ignore it because it mangles mails) produces poor results

I participated in many lengthy discussions in deeply nested threads on usenet with an email client (Thunderbird) that had format=flowed enabled for the text/plain posts that I was sending. I never noticed any issues when viewing posts I made or other posts that were descendants of my posts. That is, no problems with line wrap or other rendering issues (either when looking at it in Thunderbird's view pane or looking at the raw message text).

> it often breaks signatures;

It shouldn't break them if the client applies the signature itself.

> it makes it harder to quote and reply to emails

I don't see how this would be the case. When you reply to an email, the MUA should prefix each line in the body of the original message with a > character. Whether those lines have a single trailing whitespace character or not shouldn't make a difference in terms of quoting the original text.

> it means the person on the other end will not see exactly what you sent.

Unless you have text that requires wrapping at specific line lengths, they will see what you sent. If their client supports the flowed format, the lines will be rewrapped to your screen width. If their client does not, then they see the original raw text with trailing whitespace at the end of each line (other than the last line of each paragraph) which essentially is not visible to the reader unless they've configured their client to display a marker for trailing whitespace.
I don't know that. If there is a reason to believe he commited a crime that harmed the U.S.A., then the U.S. government going after him for that crime is to be expected. But the widespread concern here is that the government is going after him so devotedly not solely because of that harm, but because they seek to gain back face and intimidate other journalists. There are other possible ulterior motives. I don't have enough information to decide one way or another, but given what we know, the concern is reasonable.

It's not the size of JWST, it's the fact that it's deeply cryogenic and uses enormous, fragile multilayer insulation to remain so.

Indeed, larger apertures will be used increasingly. And this megaconstellation actually enables that indirectly. SpaceX is counting on their Starship launch vehicle to deploy the vast majority of their 12,000 satellite constellation, and indeed large launch vehicles (particularly reusable ones) require a lot of payloads to justify their development cost. But large launch vehicles also enable ever-larger telescopes, whose cost is only affordable if those launch vehicles are reusable.

NASA is already buying into it. Here's NASA Goddard tweeting out the larger-than-JWST concept called LUVOIR inside SpaceX's Starship (which again relies on the megaconstellation for demand): https://twitter.com/nasagoddard/status/1116310431969239040?l...
...and yet larger apertures will require in-space assembly over several launches, again only really affordable if there's enough commercial launch demand (i.e. from megaconstellations in particular) to justify these large reusable launch vehicles.

My point of view is that if we're going to be a really spacefaring civilization, it's reasonable that you'll be able to see human artifacts in the sky. Starlink is actually fairly easily stealthed, but other things (space based solar power stations, large space stations, in-space manufacturing depots, etc) may not be so easily hidden. Is the fact that human artifacts may be detectable in the night sky reason enough to disallow spacefaring?

EDIT: Note that the IAU letter is way more reasonable than almost all the media takes on this issue.
> Being "the big tech company that doesn't stalk you like a creepy ex" is a potentially huge market.

Genuine question - has anyone actually reliably demonstrated a pro-privacy position to meaningfully increase sales in the tech industry? Doing the opposite certainly doesn't seemed to have harmed the financial success of many so far...

Sure Apple are very pro-privacy and I applaud them for that, but if their approach was, say like Googles, I think they would probably still be selling largely the same number of iPhones.

Perhaps I am wrong, and let me be clear I like Apple's position. I just don't know today that it translates to the masses as a sales driving proposition.
No. I start out confident that we will never know, but can only surmise based on available evidence, and continue seeking further evidence. Further evidence can require revisiting choices -- even all the way back to the beginning, although that would need to be pretty big evidence.

The only alternative is the familiar, and very popular, self-deception; and its familiar companion, deception.
> Yes and no. The app launcher defaults to Maps. You can copy and paste addresses into any offline maps app.

Are you serious? Do you normally copy and paste links instead of clicking on them? You think it's reasonable for somebody to do this with every map link? How about map links inside native applications that aren't even copyable at all?

> Blatantly false. You can compile and sideload direct from Xcode to any iOS device without the need for a paid dev account.

But you will have to reinstall it weekly, which makes this method unworkable.

> I had to 'trust' the developer's certificate first.

When you did that, you also had to tap a "Verify App" button, which phones home to Apple. Ultimately, Apple may revoke the enterprise certificate used to sign your emulator apps, and then you won't even be able to install them.

Not sure we should be surprised:

Most people aren't specialists. If they're the academic type, they studied a bunch of things. If they're sporty, they played a bunch of sports. If musical, they tried a bunch of instruments.

You can get pretty good at a number of things without being top of the field. But you don't have to be top of the field to be chosen to do the vast majority of jobs.

Golf vs Tennis: Golfers have won stuff in their late 40s. You're competing with a huge field of experienced people. Tennis players tend to bow out a fair bit sooner, so it makes sense that someone who didn't pour all their energy into it specifically could compete. There's also a question of whether there are specific intransferables in each sport, but I'll leave that to experts.

I wish we knew the truth behind this. In my opinion Apple is losing more than Nvidia and Nvidia seems to be trying harder to make this work than Apple.

From my understanding, Apple has been writing/maintaining GPU drivers. They've been pretty bad at optimizing them (they also are dropping OpenGL support) so Nvidia wants to maintain drivers themselves. As Apple has been locking down more and more of the OS, it's pushing out Nvidia from creating and distributing drivers. If Apple ceded to Nvidia, I imagine it would be harder for Apple to push things like Metal.

The details of the fight are probably a lot more detailed since they would be negotiating about hardware supply and long term contracts.
That's the USDA though. The Controlled Substances Act still makes the Department of Justice responsible for enforcement, not the Department of Agriculture.

Seems like quite the legal reach to say that, because the USDA permits it, THC is totally legal. More like I expect we'd get inequal enforcement and conflict and the CSA + DEA will probably win it.

Huh? Most SEC settlements are public. The SEC issues a press release. Here's a typical one.[1]

As for settlements with the terms "mak[ing] any public statement denying, directly or indirectly, any allegation in the [SEC’s] complaint or creating the impression that the complaint is without factual basis", that's what pleading guilty looks like in a civil enforcement matter. You can't say "yes, we did it, and we'll pay the penalty rather than going to trial" to the SEC, and then turn around and say publicly "we didn't do it".
