Embedding like this will only lead to pain long term. It's preferable to implement the interface you want to fulfil directly (by having actual method definitions), despite the extra ceremony. Inheritance with embedding is a false friend in Go. Stick to composition.

If you want to delegate a call to a "subtype", simply invoke the method on the subtype by writing it out in long form. It doesn't make you feel as intelligent but it's way more robust and won't come back to bite you down the line.
Yeah odd. I've always looked at my manager as a glorified very intelligent secretary. At least the ones who aren't tandem managers/engineers/

No this is reasonable. There is no reason he would be talking to the same people. Sure the same border agent can work incoming/outgoing, but not at the same time (not at any airport or road crossing I've ever been through).

Border agents should know which side they're facing and which direction those people are traveling in. If they're not, they're incompetent.
Blizzard isn't obligated to anyone but Blizzard. Isn't that the point of capitalism? They just get to do what they want (assuming it's legal) and "the market" will decide if they're doing the right thing. They could start making pro-nazi propaganda huge part of the WoW experience if they wanted. But the point is that whatever market they choose to service will affect how people feel about them.

Again: they can do whatever they want, but once you've made your bed you need to lie in it. You can't make everyone happy all the time, and that's fine. Some people are always going to think Blizzard is shitty because of this, and will swear off their products. Other people will be pissed for 20 minutes and come back when <dope new game/feature> launches. And other people are just going to be annoyed that corporations are pandering to vocal mobs.

Blizzard don't owe me anything, and I don't owe them anything either. Welcome to capitalism. Good fucking luck, it's terrible out there.

Only thing I can think of is too many cache entries with the same cache values for the case where requests with different headers produce the same API response.

Which could lead to a large cache.

The 409a valuation isn’t typically the same as the investor price early on. This accounts for lack of liquidity and preference.

However, as those differences start disappearing, e.g. when WeWork and Uber were about to IPO, the 409a converges with the investor price.

Xcode has generally supported the two newest macOS releases, with its current minimum OS being Mojave, which supports Macs from 2012 and if you pick up a $50 GPU upgrade, even 2010 Mac Pro’s. Almost all of those same Macs will be supported when Catalina becomes the new minimum.

This doesn’t seem all that onerous. If you’re stuck on a Mac that’s a decade old for some reason all it’ll take to be able to develop again is picking up a $150-$200 Mac mini or iMac on eBay/Craigslist.

Their argument doesn't hold up under the slightest amount of scrutiny. You can go to your friends' pages and manually extract their email or other contact information. If it's visible to you, its because your friend made a decision to make that information visible. They designed the data export tool that way knowing that the main thing someone trying to leave Facebook wants is contact information for their friends that they may only know how to reach on Facebook.

It is, but how can you tell in your template you want to keep shard sizes under 50GB? You can't.

The best thing you can do (as they did) is, based on historical data, update the template, so that the new index will have shards that (hopefully) are under 50GB.

I would argue that "number of comparisons" is just the popular performance metric.

Of course in reality we care about execution time, and in order to go from "we need O(n * log(n)) comparisons" to "we need O(n * log(n)) time" you need additional assumptions, like "memory access takes O(1) time, and the speed of one comparison is independent of the total amount of data". But for any reasonable set of assumptions an algorithm that uses O(n * log(n)) comparisons takes at least O(n * log(n)) time (probably more since memory access isn't really O(1), it's just common to pretend that it is).
> It attempts to defend it against any abridgment no matter how minor or what others cite as "reasonable".

That's what is so great about the second amendment. We don't have to argue over how much abridgment is acceptable because the amendment itself prescribes how much abridgment is acceptable.

"shall not be infringed."
You could of course argue that it's already a quantum computer that they've built. It's not a general purpose quantum computer though, as it doesn't allow you to run arbitrary gate sequences on it due to limited coherence time and limited inter-qubit connectivity. So while you surely can do some quantum computations on it you can't yet run arbitrary quantum programs.

macOS' problem ironically enough I think is that it is not a cash cow. Apple stopped charging for it with 10.9, but of course more importantly, the Mac itself does not generate a ton of cash for Apple (which was always the true source of revenue). Not a day goes by that I don't imagine features I wish macOS did for me. The desktop OS is not "mature" or "complete", its just not a big enough piece of the pie with comparison to iPhone for Apple to invest time in it. If you were to gift the Mac/macOS business to some random startup, there is a good chance it would see huge stability and evolution. Unfortunately, the business is coupled to a company that happens to make a different product that makes it way more money. If anything, Apple has been removing "features" from macOS at great pain to its users -- and I don't mean 32 bit or this security stuff, I mean the fact that they don't focus almost at all on the surrounding ecosystem. Apple used to continue investing in software for macOS like Final Cut Pro and Aperture, things that kept them invested in the OS itself. They very clearly do not want to be in that space anymore, so its weird to think that the OS is somehow "done" and just "spinning its wheels".

For a good non-open source example, look at Photoshop: it's been around for almost 30 years and people still think its worth paying for and are generally happy with the updates they get. Perhaps some are unhappy with the pricing model, but I actually see lots of people that are very happy with that too (myself included).

macOS only seems stale because it hasn't changed meaningfully in so many years, not because it can't.

With regard to the bugginess: yes, I think it has everything to do with the fact that they are now trying to ship a new version of iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, AND macOS every year on the dot.

Actually there is evidence to the contrary - Cigarette sales fell in the entire state where CVS had a significant market-share, and anti-smoking patch sales increased by 4% in the months following (src: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2017/02/20/after-cv...)

Granted, it's hard to really know anything, but I'm not entirely sure what you're saying is true. There was probably at least a few people who just said screw it and stopped buying cigarettes because they wanted to quit and needed an impulse. Since their sales actually increased in the years following, and typically cigarettes have ancillary sales, I think at -least- a few people quit due to this move.
Is it spontaneous?

Unfortunately a lot of FIPS is more like the contrived absurd example.
Yup I agree with you almost entirely. The only thing I was thinking of was if evolution would optimize for the amount of energy a plant receives vs other things like survival, reproduction etc and how much efficiency we can gain by optimizing purely for photosynthesis.

Also I don’t know if plants are adapted to the high CO2 atmosphere yet so even if evolution optimized the ability of a plant to photosynthesize, given this happened in relatively low CO2 environments like forests and without man made climate change, it’s possible that human intervention can improve it.
> That does make sense, but given that the task is not solving anything "outside" the physical process itself, it still feels unfulfilling. Using my (maybe wrongheaded) analogy: it feels like "we built a lamp to simulate what happens when we turn on a lamp".

While that's true, there are a great many physics researchers who are extremely interested in quantum effects. A computer that quickly simulates quantum circuitry, if only for study / practice, is still extremely useful.

In effect: a lamp isn't very important because most engineers and researchers already knows how a lamp works. But quantum circuits are itself an interesting, barely-studied, field with few experts truly understanding it yet.

Hey everyone - Jason (the CEO person) here from Discord. I lurk a lot on HN and wanted to just chime in and share a little context since this thread is about my startup!

The user in this linked thread has likely triggered our anti-abuse system. Unfortunately, Discord is constantly under attack by people trying to spam or do malicious things. Instead of just outright banning everyone who our systems identify as trying to violate our TOS, we sometimes present an option to verify that you’re a human via a phone number. We know it’s not ideal and it’s still a cat and mouse game to mitigate spam, but it has been shown in our system to reduce spam plus help people keep their accounts. Check out this post from one of our engineers if you want waaaay more detail about how and why we use phone number verification: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/dl9y94/the_trut...

In addition, we have a whole transparency report that walks through some of the work we are doing to try and maintain the safety and integrity of Discord for you all https://blog.discordapp.com/discord-transparency-report-jan-...

I also want to just mention that we do not sell user data. People keep bringing this up, reasonably so, because of the lack of trust in tech companies and how US law effectively requires terms of service to be written. You’ll notice we only ask for the rights we need to operate and improve Discord itself. We also voluntarily rolled out GDPR compliance globally, not just in the EU. It’s important to me that we build a business where our incentives are aligned with the people who use our service - not advertisers. That’s why we make money by selling Discord Nitro. (And thanks to everyone who subscribes and supports us!).

And lastly on the topic of Tencent, they have a very small stake in Discord and have absolutely no ability to control what we do or access our data.
Yes, but a lot of people consider the disputes correct, yet irrelevant to the main point. Moreover since their argument is that the computation could in fact be executed on current day's hardware, but they have not been able to do it themselves (as it would be prohibitively expensive, which is kind of confirming Google's point).

See e.g. https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=4372
Someone didn't read the article:

> Fleksy’s team have done so over the years — and come up with the PEGI 3 rating without issue. But this month they found they were being issued the questionnaire multiple times and then that their latest app update was blocked without explanation — meaning they had to reach out to Play Developer Support to ask what was going wrong.

> After some email back and forth with support staff they were told that the app contained age inappropriate emoji content. Here’s what Google wrote:

> > During review, we found that the content rating is not accurate for your app… Content ratings are used to inform consumers, especially parents, of potentially objectionable content that exists within an app.

> > For example, we found that your app contains content (e.g. emoji) that is not appropriate for all ages. Please refer to the attached screenshot.

Google is apparently upset that the app contains a middle finger emoji. Which GBoard also contains. GBoard is rated 3+, not 12+/16+.

I am the solo founder of a crowdsourcing business. We are into audio/video transcription. I've been at it since 2008, fully bootstrapped. I tried very hard to convert it into a high growth startup. I even got called for an YC interview in 2016, but didn't make it. I have lost a lot of money over the years on experiments which didn't work. I didn't get rich but I make enough to beat the market rate salary.

Last year, I finally decided to treat it as a lifestyle business and just focus on a niche market. We are never gonna be a unicorn, but I think we'll still be in business 10 years from now. Looking forward to the 2029 thread!

Peace Bridge gets millions of crossing per year, tens of thousands per day. Your speculation that they kept track of what direction someone was coming from, and just did this to hassle a “Muslim looking guy” (what does that even mean?) is totally ridiculous.

Actually, we had people who claimed for about four decades that it is fundamentally impossible to have quantum speed up, basically equating it to a perpetual motion machine. We still have such famous people around (who aren't physicists, of course), now a loud minority, and "quantum supremacy" was coined because of/for them.

What you're describing is mainly the new generation of people who grew up hearing about quantum computers on the news about experimental realization of small-scale (a few qubits) quantum computers.

Just running and biking around San Francisco, I feel like there's no shortage of construction that create changes to lanes/stop signs/lights and rules of traffic flow. How do you account for these, or would world geometry data be enough here?
After in 1973 the first such hypermarket opened up in NL, laws were quickly enacted to prevent it from ever happening again. Precisely because it was feared cars would become necessities and city centres would be out-competed.

That single location remains to this day the only hypermarket in the Netherlands [1].

It is also worth noting that breaking RSA with Shor's algorithm requires thousands of _error-corrected_ qubits. This corresponds to millions of physical qubits with typical fidelities and nobody knows how to scale a system to that size.
I think this likely has to do more with individual habits rather than anything else. But I find that watches that I do not use all the time are more likely not to be ready to be used when I need them.

For example, I have an old Suunto Ambit watch that I used for outdoor activities and/or exercise. I found that because I was not wearing it all the time, it was not charged most of the time that I needed it.
Maybe they can handle this like the phone number portability rules. All internet users will be charged a $5 or so monthly "social media portability tax" which will then be distributed to these 100 million+ user companies to help pay for the cost of maintaining the portability systems.

> (although I recognise that in the US, carrying a driving license everywhere seems to be a weird cultural phenomenon).

Perhaps less "weird cultural phenomenon" and more "it's about the same size as a credit card", plus "it's probably the only broadly accepted government-issued ID you've got, so there's a variety of things things you might need it for, some of which you might not expect when you leave the house", resulting in "just leave it in your wallet or your handbag or wherever you carry such things".

If you're already generally leaving it with all the other miscellany you carry by default, it'd be more effort and more risk to take it out whenever you don't think you'd need it than to just leave it in your wallet/bag. If you're going to buy something, generally you'd have your wallet.

How do you handle such things, then? Honestly curious.
