Exactly. Municipal regulators were unprepared for somebody with a billion dollars willfully breaking laws. And the laws were not a huge deal. For financial regulators, it's their bread and butter, and the laws are most definitely a big deal. Money laundering is a problem they are very serious about because it enables so much other crime.

I'm sure Facebook would not be dumb enough to step in front of that train, but if they did, it would run them flat.

There's also a sort of 9/11 effect going on here. The reason the 9/11 hijackers pulled it off was that nobody expected them to use the planes as giant suicide bombs. Previous hijackings generally ended peacefully, so everybody just stayed chill. But that window of opportunity expired before they managed to crash the 4th plane. Now nobody's just going to sit quietly through a hijacking.

Similarly, I think the reason Uber and Airbnb got away with so much lawbreaking is that it was novel to have nominally respectable companies blatantly committing a wide variety of crimes. But these days, tech companies get a lot of suspicion. Regulators are not interesting in getting caught flat-footed again. And that was true 5 years ago; SF vigorously shut down a bunch of entrepreneurs that wanted to sell public parking spaces back to the public: https://www.govtech.com/transportation/SF-Demands-MonkeyPark...

That zerohedge site is a bit nuts when it comes to politics. Not that WeWork doesn’t sound scammy.
Hmmm I could be wrong but I believe it's not true that humans could only bet fixed sizes. Instead, the AI was only pretrained with fixed sizes and had to do some kind of live search algorithm for any size outside of those values, which could be what you're referring to.

Stack sizes were reset to keep the research minimally scoped, taking stack sizes into account likely does not require a quantum leap in research.

This is getting pretty off topic, but the computation could be done online.
It thrills me to no end that there aren’t a bunch of snarky comments about “OH THIS PROVES SIGNAL IS A TOOL OF THE NSA!!”.

I just don't see how someone can possibly charge that much for a keyboard that would be significantly cheaper to make yourself even as a one off. It isn't like there is anything particularly special about the keyboard in the link, there isn't any specially skilled craftsmanship, it is just a couple anodized CNC machined pieces, a PCBA, and purchased switches and keycaps.
In my experience there are two types of "recruiter"

#1 gets a commission for hiring someone for a job as an employee. The employer will pay him a percentage of your yearly salary to the recruiter if you are hired.

#2 is a contract shop recruiter. You are hired by the contract shop and then subcontracted to the employer at an hourly wage which they get an ongoing cut of.

These two types of recruiters are different animals with different skills and motivations.

In my experience, #1 will not do #2 type deals. #2 will sometimes act as #1 doing conversions of temp-to-perm for a lump sum.

There is also a variant of type #1 - a recruiter for a large company that I believe recruits for a salary without commission. This may be to eliminate conflicts of interest in the hiring process (or more properly, favor the employer to be)

all this might have morphed - I haven't interacted with type #2 for many years.

I was just getting into punk in the mid 80s. A few former punk bands who went for a completely different audience/sound (Beastie Boys) found success, just as a few former punk acts had discovered in the late 70s with new wave and even disco (such as Blondie).

Crossing over to metal AND trying to keep your old audience was regarded with suspicion. Metal had a bad rap thanks to the factors mentioned in the article, and if you did the hair metal/glam thing it seemed very pretentious. If you just played standard metal without the attitude, it was merely regarded as irrelevant. I remember going to see the Straw Dogs -- which included former members of the classic Boston punk band The F.U.s -- and it was boring. No one was throwing stuff at them, though.

Metal bands that played faster and harder than standard three-chord punk rock could cultivate an audience in the punk/underground scene. This included thrash-metal bands like Slayer and emerging hardcore bands with a metal edge like Agnostic Front.

Playing other genres at that time risked alienating their existing audiences. I saw 7 Seconds in the late 80s when they were recording more radio friendly stuff, which no one liked at the time (that would change with the rise of pop-punk in the 90s with Green Day, All, Blink 182, etc.). And Bad Brains (mentioned in the article) incorporated more and more reggae into their live shows as time went on, which people put up with as long as they played harder stuff, too.

Looking back now, that was one of the drawbacks of the 80s punk/hardcore music scene: People were way too sensitive about appearances and different styles of music, and were unable to appreciate that some bands just wanted to evolve and do something different. It all seems kind of silly now.
Google already does this with "Live View".
Time will tell. Apple undercutting Netflix in price may convince people to switch platforms, but if Apple does not have a good library of content they will likely struggle to retain users. Although user growth has slowed at Netflix, user retention has remained high. Netflix's stocks have dipped, but it is expected considering all the recent news. I am not a trader, but people often buy on rumor and sell on news.

I mean, aside from their CEO being pushed out and their IPO being shelved because they were losing money hand over fist. Which means they can't raise the $7 billion they wanted to continue expanding.

They were buying growth. They can't afford to buy growth anymore. So it's entirely possible that they'll shrink. And that's not even counting all the negative press, which has to be discouraging potential clients.

What would you say if you knew 50% of European produce never saw soil, and was instead growing on top of some chemical "water"? Disruptive "scientific" companies are buying high-quality cheap soil in Eastern Europe and impregnating top layer with their experimental chemical ingredients, leading to prediction the soil will be written off in 20 years; it survived thousands of years, reaching top quality, yet some get-rich-quick companies from Netherlands and Denmark destroy it within a single generation, while shouting "we are green" to their investors. I can't wait until these companies manage to disrupt the whole food production that we end up with famine.

It is somewhat religious, but more in the sense that religion is important for a society. Where are you from, if I might ask? I've never heard of this idea of a "partner" until very recently (let alone fathering children out of wedlock), and this has historically been the case in America. Dropping religion from main-stream life and such a significant loss of public morality cannot be good for a society.

Glad to see SQLite on then front page -- it's one of the silent workhorses of the modern programming/database world. It is the most widely deployed database[0]. If you haven't given it a look/aren't interested in it since it seems to be a "toy" database (often the "test" or "local" db for frameworks like rails or django), you owe it to yourself to see what it can really do. Easy to use full text search[1][2], CTEs[3], JSON support via extension[4] (also the extension system is worth looking at[5]) and much much more. There are certainly things that SQLite does not do, and that's well documented too[6].

If all this doesn't convince you to use SQLite, it's also one of the most well documented large C codebases that is fantastic to learn from.

I'd go as far as to say that many modern startups could get pretty far with SQLite + aggressive caching before even bringing in a big database like Postgres (though with recent deployment/ops advancements it's easier than ever to run postgres).

The problems on Twitter are worse. There are networks of verified accounts pumping out orchestrated propaganda on this topic, and others. A blue check mark seems to be a license to generate money with impunity. There are networks operating out of first world countries with verified accounts, that have third-world minions that amplify their messages through retweets and likes. It is surprising that corporations continue to associate with the open sewer of propaganda, hate and harassment that Twitter is. Has the time come for a clean clone of Twitter for business to interact with their customers?
Investors want to minimize silly reasons for startups to fail.

I've never seen a startup shutdown medium post that started with "We have a great team and our product has seen huge uptake, unfortunately the cost of our coworking space has overwhelmed us".

On the other hand plenty of startups fail because they cant hire the right talent. Wework is in locations, and has an atmosphere that most tech workers if not like, at least are used to. Especially ones who are happy to work in an early stage startup (and if that one doesn't work you've made a lot of connections with other ones in the office :P).

Additionally investors don't want startup founders to spend weeks negotiating leases for offices, fit-outs etc.

As others mentioned, this reads more like a PR piece than a research claim.

More importantly, the health benefits claim has been debunked before: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/impossible-burger-or-b...

> The challenge here is that these offerings aren’t actually any healthier. The Impossible Whopper, for instance, not only has comparable caloric and fat levels as its meat-based counterpart, but it has more salt per serving; the Del Taco options are comparable. The Impossible Slider has more calories, more fat and more sodium than the meaty original (before you add cheese to either).

The salt content is significantly higher and protein sources are ultra processed, which we have ample research to show that ultra processed foods have adverse health effects.

The environmental claims appear more straightforward, but we don’t need to engineer our food to drastically reduce impact - simply switch from beef to chicken.

“No question chicken is a fraction of beef’s carbon emissions and it likely has the lowest carbon footprint of any animal protein,”

Source: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/06/choos...

In short, we don’t need to wait until 2035 to cut our overall food carbon footprint in half. Better yet, let’s include more unprocessed vegetable sources and eat less animal protein all together. (I know... not going to happen)

Maybe they validated the autoplay approach and it won on some metric, but I think it is the wrong metric to optimize for. I don't think it the one which counts, monthly renewals. I seriously doubt there are people who stick around because of autoplay, but there are certainly people who quit because of it. Maybe the people who stick around do manage to find the next show to watch a few minutes faster with autoplay, but it isn't worth losing paying customers over.
Libra is meant to be the m-pesa of the world. It is funny that the US government and CIA haven’t figured out how much Libra will offer US hegemony. At some point Sandberg will explain it to the political dopes and Libra will happen. That day is not today.

>> Ada has been on the way out, at least in recent U.S. DoD flight system developments (and likely NASA as well) for a long time. I don't see this trend reverting any time soon.

Yeah, C++ has been working out great on the F-35.

>> On the other hand, we can, and I hope will, move to much more rigorous approaches, such as the use of Rust, for flight software implementations.

Competition is good and more choices for building avionics systems are welcome. I don't know of any DO-178C certified Rust implementations, but we need them.

>> We will be better off in flight software using newer, safer languages employed by the software community writ large instead of trying to mandate niche languages.

Part of the issue is that high-integrity, hard real-time embedded systems are their own niche in terms of requirements. Java and C# are widely-used programming languages with hundreds of millions of lines of code deployed in business-critical production environments and yet both are unsuitable for avionics environments. The more avionics niche-specific a programming language becomes the more likely it is to add complexity and features that those who program outside the niche will never use or care about.
