It is often repeated, but does that make it true or understood?

My reasoning is that if you're a tech company then translation costs are trivial (that's close to obvious)

Now, depending on your industry, cultural differences may be an important factor but that's different. All the well-known tech companies are equally present across the EU so it does not seem like a major problem (that may be different across widely different cultures).
Something changed recently, making the US "first to file". Did that totally eliminate the concept of prior art?

I mean, if you're looking for that, the Viking lander in 1976 did the same thing: transmit a digital image from the capture device, filter and save it at the other end. Even Mariner 4, in 1964 might fit those criteria.

Peak oil featured prominently in Al Bartlett's talk about exponential growth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O133ppiVnWY Still a good talk, but it seems he was wrong about peak oil, just like Malthus was wrong about population growth.
The last time I came across someone referring to that case here on HN, I went away and read the judgement. It took the story from being surprising to a perfectly restrained, considered and reasonable verdict.

Mainly as the defendant hadn't, despite the judge's specific encouragement, bothered to submit a proper defence or explore freedom of expression. So it could only be decided purely on the breach of the law. Then there were all the surrounding circumstances of how he set this up.

You mean, you are catching exploits for vulnerabilities that don't exist anymore, and you pay for that with a gigantic attack surface that can be used to compromise you? Yeah, that sounds about right.

This seems to make a lot of sense, and removes that ridiculous notion that somehow removing a single element from our diet is what will lead to weight loss - the foods that people gain weights on are the foods that give us mixed signals to their quality and quantity of calories. It's hard to not feel you've eaten a lot of calories roast beef when you've eaten a lot of roast beef, but it's much easier to lose track of how many chips you've eaten, and harder to match that to the relative amount of calories consumed.

Oh great, yet another "we can't pay you in money, but we'll pay you in exposure!" outlet.
On iOS it doesn't seem to work. It's either WARP or nextdns. A quick google search taught me all "custom" dns setups on iOS require some sort of VPN-like solution (very much like the nextdns.io iOS app does).

Back to nextdns then, has more value to me.
Yes, human "experts", and when you go to your neighborhood hospital Dr, you are not getting (typically) an "expert" in the field, so, by AI performing as well as human "experts" it is provides vastly improved diagnosis for patients. So irritating about the human expertise false baseline of expertise. So defensive. Same with self driving cars, already it is clearly superior to the "average, distracted, unpredictable" driver which is the actual baseline to beat.

And in the US, when dealing with private individuals (not the government's ability to collect and use information), the situations where truth isn't an absolute defense are extremely rare. Even the unidirectional right of private recording varies from state to state.

This is a fundamental philosophical difference between the US and much of Europe. I'm not sure precisely from where it arises (though I suspect it stems from a combination of the US government tracing its historical roots to Enlightenment-era thinking on personal liberty and the English government having a law against sedition; the American colonies organizing a rebellion in spite of that law).
This reads like modern day food recipe sites. While the stories are great, I'm not sure it ever really tells us how to survive a lightning strike. The closest were the following two passages:

After ~10k characters:

> The best advice for people who find themselves outside during a lightning storm is simply to get inside, either a home or a vehicle. Yet even buildings aren’t completely impervious to lightning strikes. You’ll want to stay off the telephone, out of the shower, and away from sinks. Lightning can pass through landlines, plumbing—metal pipes and faucets—and all manner of electrical wiring.

And after another ~10k characters:

> The evidence suggests that lightning injuries are, for the most part, injuries to the brain, the nervous system, and the muscles. Lightning can ravage or kill cells, but it can also leave a trail of much subtler damage. Cooper and other researchers have speculated that chronic issues are the result of lightning scrambling each individual survivor’s unique internal circuitry

I think it was just a poor choice of a title.

No thanks. The biggest "SSN misuse" is by commercial surveillance bureaus that use the number as a hook to crosslink and store detailed permanent records on each of us without any sort of consent or accountability. Strengthening the technical foundation of personal identifiers only makes sense after such abuse has been stopped.

Those fancy bags are called "sachets" in the tea world
Loose tea is often cheaper and of better quality in my experience. If you brew tea a lot using a reusable strainer seems like a much better choice. I'm also entirely convinced that these plastic pyramid-shaped bags are pure marketing. Then again, I find Lipton tea absolutely terrible regardless of the shape of the bag.

I feel like this is similar to how Greta Thunberg recently described capitalism as "fairytales of eternal economic growth". That too is just describing capitalism.

The way she is attacked by the Right, and what they say in their attacks, really makes it obvious that they know it's not an environmental issue. It has absolutely nothing to do with the environment or climate change. It's neoliberalism and capitalism and imperalism and "fairytales of eternal economic growth". They know that, and that's why they pretend like they cannot engage her because "she's a child".

All climate change activists should switch their message and focus on capitalism, not reducing emissions or climate change. Because the amount of CO2 emission reductions we need are clearly impossible with the current system. And if you leave capitalism out of the argument, it lets neoliberal leaders off the hook.

This is not clickbait. This is not promising one thing and delivering another or being overly inflamatory. It's a highly intelligent analysis of systematic issues in the current (US) capitalist system.

> well if there is no path to profitability, how is it still worth 10-15 billion ?

It is not worth anything. If they really have no way of becoming profitable and they have more debt than capital (in terms of money and property) WeWork is worth less than $0. That's why the IPO failed.

> "WeWork ostensibly became more valuable because Son said it was more valuable, and bought shares for higher prices. " - well isn't this how market pricing works.

There was no market. That goes together with the point above. In a real market: Sure, it's worth what people would pay for it. But here people wouldn't pay that much, the valuation only arrived at the point because it was decidedly not a market situation.

> Dimon is the most respected banker and he led JPM to become the largest bank in the western world. Well somehow that is mediocre.

Evidently the author disagrees with you. Without judging myself I'd kindly suggest that "most respected" anything does not have to be a sign of merit.
On the contrary, because it's tcp and encrypted you can tunel your queries safely over tor.

Of course, there are some things to take care of even if you do that, because privacy is not a simple binary switch you enable.

If you own some not so popular domains, you also should make sure to exclude them from the queries, so that who you are not easily deanonimized by your query patterns.

Both is easy relatively easy to do with dnscrypt-proxy.

It's not enough by itself, but DoH enables ways to get secure DNS queries to your chosen provider anonmously and securely.
When does the market discover what something is worth? I only know of two main lines of thinking:

1) that the market is more or less a random walk, and prices are approximately random.
2) that the market is efficient and the price at all times accurately reflects all available information.

So Uber is either priced accurately
(forever) or randomly (forever). I'm not familiar with a third line of thinking that it's random for a period of time and then accurate. Or approximate for a period of time and then accurate.
edit: I think the article is deeply confused about whether it wants to talk about how shitty WeWork and it's associated investors are, versus why pumping loss-leading companies full of cash is a bad idea. The former is just yellow journalism and not very interesting (also well-aired already), the latter is important (imo).

The point is a simple one, I think. It's well understood that capitalism breaks if an actor is able to consistently create and defend a monopoly. Pumping a loss-leading company full of capital under the expectation that it will loss-lead until it dominates the market is one such strategy. WeWork is a classic example of this strategy in action, albeit an ill-begotten one. We've made this illegal in the past, we should consistently enforce such laws as exist, and improve them to bring them into 2019.

Let's not get pinheaded about this thought. I'm personally bootstrapping a company from $0. That means I'm using my "deep pockets" to "loss lead" a company. Nothing about what I'm doing is "anticompetetive" in the relevant sense because of scale. Furthermore, my growth is pegged to my ability to make money (I won't hire unless I can pay a salary out of revenue). I do think capping naked investment in loss-leading companies is probably a good idea. I personally think VC culture results in bloated, unsustainable companies that over-hire overpriced engineers, and that it's long term a very inefficient strategy that is bad for the health of the economy.

Obviously this is a weird forum to air that view on, but here we are. At least I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

Is this a supposition? Or is there any evidence for this effect being real and/or it being significant over such evolutionarily short timescales?
Computers drastically change the scope of what's possible. They allow us to do things on scales that were unimaginable before. There are orders of magnitude more data in Google's index than in every book that has ever existed. Heck, flip the question to the other side of the table — is government mass surveillance acceptable because it's OK for a police officer to overhear things? Regardless of where you stand on either issue, it seems pretty clear that the change of scope and scale can drastically change the moral calculus.
Logic can get us very far. Socrates was martyred because he taught that there is only one God, and there is objective morality that we must follow to be with God. He reached these conclusions by logic alone. But Divine Revelation is necessary for the fulfillment of human understanding and our perfection. Jesus crucified and resurrected is the start of this, because nothing any wise teacher or religious founder says matters unless it can save us from death. This is the only religion that can, because it's not a religion as much as a Living Being that we can encounter immediately, and who will save us if we only let him.
Chipotle's former CEO (and I believe founder) often mentions that Chipotle's time under McD's ownership hammered home that the single most important element of the company's success was excellence in real estate. It's also why getting a McDonald's franchise is generally very expensive - they'll give you as de-risked a location as possible and a proven operational playbook. It's not easy to run a franchise at all (you have to be available on days your manager calls in sick, deal with vendors, inventory, etc), but you don't need to figure out the business model at all.
Yeah, I'm sure that's a good part of it. There was still a sense of cigarettes "giving a little more" - hard to describe as I really couldn't say what, the couple of times I had a smoke after starting vaping in earnest.

Cost centers are generally unavoidable, they're aspects of the business where there is a well-defined target past which there's no meaningful ROI.

Regulatory compliance is a good example of this. Both you and your competitors must be compliant, but past reaching that state there's no additional value add. As a business, you're thus interested in keeping the cost of compliance as close to zero as possible, all cost cutting that does not break compliance is good for the company.

> This is of course Amazon’s model, which underpriced competitors in retail and eventually came to control the whole market.

This is false.

First, Amazon is far from controlling the whole market. They control close to 50% of e-commerce which itself represents less than 12% of total retail sales.

Second, Amazon didn't predatory price, or if it did, it didn't for long, certainly not long enough to achieve its current market share. The author is mistaking Amazon's lack of profit for its propensity to reinvest all of its profit into other businesses (e.g. AWS), or its willingness to take short-term losses in order to reach economies of scale where profits exist (which, as Amazon's retail business has shown, they do).

the way the Internet was -- a large number of small providers, communicating with each other over open standard protocols

I don't remember the internet ever being like that.

I remember when you couldn't e-mail someone in another city without going through gateways. When you couldn't visit the majority of major web sites without downloading plug-ins. When you knew the information you wanted was out there, but couldn't get to it because it was behind obtuse, non-searchable infrastructure.

To me, the internet today isn't perfect. But it's a heck of a lot better than its romanticized distant past.

As for WARP, I'll give it a try. I don't fully trust Cloudflare, but I trust it a heck of a lot more than I trust my ISP or my cell phone provider. Long ago, both of those entities burned privacy bridges. Cloudflare hasn't done so. Yet, anyway.
After reading through the patent and the suit, their comparison to Shotwell is ridiculous. In the patent, they even describe how Shotwell and other similar photo gallery programs that can share to social medial work and further go on to explain how their patent is different from these. The patent essentially is for a group of wireless devices to be linked together at say a wedding, when one person takes a picture, the picture is transmitted wirelessly and automatically to the paired devices, digital cameras, smartphones, computers, etc.

So, everyone's smartphones or digital cameras pair together and anyone that takes a photo has that photo distributed to the other devices. How is that anything like Shotwell?

I've done that in the past. I have a serious medical condition with significant dietary restrictions, a dead fridge and limited cooking ability. When I did that recently, a lot of what I got was cold food which spoiled overnight because my fridge is dead and I don't have the funds to replace it right now.

It's just vastly better for me if I earn the money and it's not a huge amount that I need, so it's frustrating as hell that I can't come up with it consistently.

Scaling Apache Kafka with Todd Palino [audio]
My parents are both very healthy; my dad's 80 and my mom is in her early 70s. They're typically mistaken for much (10-20 years) younger.

So it was quite a shock to hear my mom was in the hospital for a heart issue a couple years back.

She was ultimately diagnosed with Takotsubo.

They had been watching a play at an outdoor theater, and during a very stressful/dramatic/revealing moment in the play (I think with loud drums, etc), she had these chest pains and was rushed to the hospital.

Very interesting to learn about this condition I hadn't heard of. The "good news" is that, if you recover, and go a few weeks (I want to say 6+) without a recurrence, the heart re-strengthens and you're not any more likely to have heart issues again than anyone else.

> At least Uber and Lyft provide something new (calling taxis from phones)

It's less than that—they provide the ability to call taxis from an app. You've been able to call taxis from phones for significantly longer, you just had to dial a number.

I know this isn't a common way to call taxis everywhere, but it was in some locations. I went to college in a small-ish city called Saratoga Springs. If you wanted a taxi, the expected method was to dial one of the local taxi companies. They'd arrive in a few minutes. It was a little more expensive than Uber and Lyft, but not drastically so, and while I'm sure a bit of that price difference comes from increased efficiency, I think a lot of it is just VC money.
I’ve been fascinated by the fact that I know several people who have become vegan, lost weight, and feel better. But I also know many people who have gone low carb, or even eat nothing but meat, and are also losing weight and report feeling much better. I’ve been wondering what they both share in common, and suspected that both forms of dietary restriction mean cutting out most hyper palatable ultraprocessed foods.

It’s an interesting article, I hope to see more research on the subject.
