I debated some of this with Bonwick (and Cantrill who really had no business being involved but he's pernicious that way) at the time. That blog post is, frankly, a bit misleading. The storage "stack" isn't really a stack. It's a DAG. Multiple kinds of devices, multiple filesystems plus raw block users (yes they still exist and sometimes even have reason to), multiple kinds of functionality in between. An LVM API allows some of this to have M users above and N providers below, for M+N total connections instead of M*N. To borrow Bonwick's own condescending turn of phrase, that's math. The "telescoping" he mentions works fine when your storage stack really is a stack, which might have made sense in a not-so-open Sun context, but in the broader world where multiple options are available at every level it's still bad engineering.
No.

I went to news.google.com and searched "judge says". While the article above was one of the top results, all the other of the top ten results were stories in various parts of the US, with "judge says" used in the same way.

It seems that to the extent the neutral verb "says" shows any respect, Colombian judges do get the same respect as North American judges in the eyes of headline writers.
Personally I consider this to be all phones: the baseband firmware is a blob that does who knows what, and is likely the weakest component of nearly every phone on the market. Most baseband processors are connected via DMA.

“Suicide” is also a totally unfounded accusation on paar with a conspiracy theory: There isn’t a single proof of suicide. Yet all the newspapers repeated it gullibly until social media made it impossible to ignore the opposite. So why wasn’t this affirmation entirely disqualified first hand?

At best, the doctor can affirm that Epstein died. Little more. Suicide is associating a storytelling, a blatantly lying storytelling in the face of the public as long as no proof of intent was even available when the suicide was affirmed. We basically know nothing on the circumstances of his death, so the suicide word was more than unfounded.

If you have internal accounting and general counsel, they usually do a shitload of the heavy lifting (they outsource it to paralegals and associates most of the time). I've been through it before. It's still very painful, but this type of thing does exist... kinda.

I seem to remember an Italian product that claimed just that a few years back. They had some linked studies.

I strongly disagree with this. You and everyone in your company are on a journey together, a leader who thinks that it’s their job to curate that journey inevitably fails. People know when you’re stressed or when things are tough... when you try to hide these things or deflect them away you erode trust and ultimately performance.

The role of a good leader is contextualize hard information and provide support for the team as they internalize it and then act upon it...
I think it's obvious this is already changing rapidly. Maybe certain antiquated standards of masculinity still reign supreme in rural Indiana (or wherever), but in major metros there is an constantly expanding spectrum within which gender can be expressed without drawing criticism.

It may be unusual for a man to stay home and take care of the children while his wife works. But the idea that I could ever stigmatize or criticism someone for this life arrangement is ridiculous to me. I'm sure that 40 years ago most men would only be able to respond with criticism. But these days that kind of reaction is laughable. And the men who have that kind of reaction would be viewed as backwards simpletons.
> I burnt out, now I delegate lots of crap work and it works better for me and I think the team as well as they get a wider perspective.

I think this is an underrated (but very accurate) opinion.

While I'm not the founder of a company, I do have the tendency to shield my team from much of the insanity I deal with on a daily basis.

I've made active, conscious efforts to stop doing this.

When you shield your team from the harder, more hectic parts of the job, several things happen:

(1) You burn out. A burned out leader is not an effective one. You're not doing your team any favors by forcing yourself into an impossible position.

(2) Your team won't understand the pressures that are driving the business. Having a nice, relaxed work-week is great, but employees should at least be aware of high-pressure situations in the business.

(3) Your team will get bored. Great teams like to work on challenging issues, and high-impact engineers like to work on high-impact problems. They want to grow. Exposing people to issues outside of their direct control and comfort zones will actually help make them more satisfied at work, even if it does come with a little added stress.

These are issues that I've been working on, personally, for years. The gut reaction of "protecting" teams is often times not the best one for anyone involved.

If my inspector was done in 30 minutes, I'd tell him to go home and hire a different one.

That being said, it depends on where you are. Some places it can take a week to go from first seeing to buying, other places it can take months. Some places, closing costs are a few thousand, some they are 15k. There's a lot of variety across places even in the same state in the US.

1) Negroponte responded: “I know him quite well. The person who is his closest friend is Marvin
Minsky, who even visited him in jail. I would take Berlusconi’s money, so why not Jeff.” (By
March 2013, Berlusconi, the former Prime Minister of Italy, had been accused of hiring
underaged prostitutes and dating underaged girls.)

2)“I’ve also talked to Nicholas [Negroponte] as well who had
met him and he also agrees that we should treat Jeffrey with respect.”

3)Negroponte pushed back on concealing Epstein’s attendance, responding (in part) “Of course he
can come and would be welcome …. I would make absolutely no fuss over his coming and
welcome home [sic] 100%.”

Wow, just wow, are there no depths too low?

Tye typical reason for long closings, at least in the US, is sale contingencies and financing. If sale of your existing home is contingent on closing on your new home, and that sale is contingent on another closing, things can take awhile to sort out (and not much time at all to blow up).

Financing can also take quite a long time, especially if you have a non-traditional income stream (i.e. you're a startup founder).

Uber's main selling point here was transparency. Getting a cab here feels like playing dice. You either get a honest taxi driver that takes you on the shortest route or another one who chooses the route with the most traffic lights possible. Not mentioning that the device used to calculate the total fee is not regulated and may be altered. That is what i liked about Uber, i got to choose the route, or if i didn't know the area most drivers just used Google's Waze (which computes a good enough route) and i knew what the price was gonna be as long as there where no traffic jams.

I really liked Ben Horowitz's new book "What You Do Is Who You Are". However, the only passage that I disliked and stood out to me is when he defended David Drummond for his ability to thrive at Google for a long time despite the corporate culture changing.

This was after Drummond was called out publicly for abandoning his kid he had with a subordinate: https://www.law.com/corpcounsel/2018/10/25/report-alphabet-c...

I am sure he's made a lot of people money, but it's not like Google couldn't find a great legal chief who also wasn't a terrible person.

LOL "Before 2019, it felt like the Facebook communications machine was a well-oiled, unstoppable juggernaut." Umm how about Cambridge Analytica?

Facebook's PR has been troubled for a very long time. To suggest that they has a stellar image before 2019 is a joke. I can list many other slip ups where Facebook could have come out and said something (or even better, did something) and then weeks later they come up with a weak statement. If that's great PR, I'd like to offer my services to anybody who needs it.

While I'd agree that "No one ever broke rank. The messaging was crystal clear.", the message was always an awful one and now they have a relatively negative reputation despite being a remarkable success.

FWIW I see "non-farm employment" rather often when anything related to unemployment happens. From what I gather, it's how all the data has been categorized forever.

So while I can't give you the reasoning behind it, and don't know if it's still valid or now just being done to make the data comparable, I can assure you choosing this statistic wasn't a bad-faith attempt to manipulate.
Yes, it is worth it, and, no, this particular engineering leader displays no such skill here. It was somewhat debatable several years ago, when the whole "switch to https" movement just started growing traction, and, yes, there are some questionable moments, as with FTP.

But today TLS-by-default is pretty much a standard practice for any public web-page like this, there's no trade off to make here, and it can be argued it undermines my privacy as a visitor, since instead of just revealing that I'm visiting mit.edu to the network, I have no choice but to reveal what page I'm visiting and what I'm reading there. Furthermore, the network owner may decide to serve me any bullshit instead of this very important official MIT statement, and I will have no way of knowing that.
> This will produce a single EXE file that has whopping 65 MB. The produced EXE includes the game, the .NET Runtime, and the base class libraries that are the standard part of .NET. You might say “still better than Electron” and call it good, but let’s see if we can do better.

Perhaps a better JS baseline would be QuickJS [0].

QuickJS is 620K.

I guess that doesn't include any kind of facility for rendering to the screen (besides basic barfing to stdout) or interacting with keyboard/mouse. i wonder how much code would be needed to add support for a basic canvas pixeldata api & keyboard event handling.

1) Content - if you know any designers or publishers that would be interested in creating digital versions of their games please direct them my way!

2) Individual(s) to team up with - this is a solo side project right now but I'm interested in working with others, technical or non-technical, to see where this goes.

The $60,000 gift in "2005 or 2006" is the only one the report says was deposited into his personal bank account. Because it was not sent to MIT, "this gift ... is not included in the $850,000 in" total donations the report indicates were accepted by MIT.

In contrast, the $125,000 is included in the $850,000, as indicated by the breakdown in the table on page 9. Thus, though not stated explicitly, the report indicates that the $125,000 was sent to MIT (to fund Seth Lloyd's research but not into his personal bank account).

(At any rate, the fact that he accepted a gift of any amount, especially into his personal bank account, is very concerning. Sounds like currently he has been put on administrative leave and we'll see what happens after they're done deciding what to do.)
I think that's only for local TV though for the FCC ones, like your ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS affiliates. They have other obligation like providing children programming which is usually early on the weekend, in exchange for the airwaves too. So cable and satellite network stations are treated differently. So like cussing on the local TV stations is a no, no but a show on HBO can cuss all they want.

Then also some states like Ohio it's illegal to sell ads to businesses that aren't solvent, Facebook is currently being sued by school districts for selling ads to a charter school that later ended up closing, which I feel is a huge overreach since most of it's automatic and the school themselves decided to buy the ads. So I guess you have to do a financial background check before selling ads. Probably easier to just exclude Ohio from selling ads, but the lawsuit hasn't been settled yet. So far no activity for 7 months but still on the docket as a open case.

Common Law States

Most states, except those listed as community property states below, use the "common law" system of property ownership. In these states, it's usually easy to tell which spouse owns what. If only your name is on the deed, registration document, or other title paper, it's yours. If you and your spouse both have your name on the title, you each own a half interest in the property unless the title document says otherwise. If an item doesn't have a title document, generally you own it if you paid for it or received it as a gift.

Community Property States

If you live in a community property state, the rules are more complicated. But in general:

spouses own equally almost all property either one acquires during the marriage, regardless of whose name the property is in

half of each spouse's income is owned by the other spouse during the marriage, and

debts incurred during marriage are generally debts of the couple.

In community property states, the following is separate property:

gifts given to one spouse

property either spouse owned before the marriage and kept separate during the marriage, and

inheritances.

The community property states are: Alaska (by agreement), Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. (In Alaska, spouses can sign an agreement making specific assets community property.)

This thread is a good example of how HackerNews has become less about analysis and informed commentary, and more about opinions and advocacy.

I look at Mark's post and I see him being honest with people about how he believes the world is going to evolve - not necessarily how he wants it to evolve, nor how Facebook even intends to move forward.

Everyone is so blinded by their emotional hatred of Mark that they cannot stomach discussing the points he is making.

Anyone saying this fire is a natural occurrence is completely deluded. There's no such thing as random in the Universe (shocking to some but true), everything has an inherent reason. A causal force. In this case it appears to be humanity itself.
Aren't you worried that a statement surrounding a person who is the subject of a possible international cover-up, might be a prime candidate for MitM-type tampering? Without HTTPS, how do you know what you're reading hasn't been subtly changed from the real statement MIT put out?
True, but you're expecting the platforms to behave honorably and not in the way that maximizes their profits. My point is the platforms' business model is a consequence of the economics of online information distribution.

Or to put it differently: anyone is free to create a competing platform that only hosts "high quality" content, but it seems no one has found out how to make that work on a large scale so far.
> What is "evil" about not wanting to see a child that you presumably didn't want to begin with?

The child doesn't get a choice about being brought into the world, so your desire or intent to produce a child is irrelevant. If you don't want to father a child, don't do anything that could reasonably lead to producing a child. If you father one anyway, that's on you. To deliberately alienate yourself from your child in that way, especially when you have the wealth and resources he does, is evil in my opinion.

> Married people BY LAW do not have separate finances.

That's... not true at all.

The IRS tax forms even have an entire category for people who are married but maintain separate finances. It's called "married filing separate".

Now in some states there are laws that property acquired after marriage is shared, you can still maintain separate finances, and then it is up to a judge to figure it out in the case of divorce.

Also, you keep what you entered the marriage with. If you maintain separate finances, it's a lot easier to disentangle if you get divorced.

I have a friend who is on his second marriage, and his wife is also on her second. They maintain separate finances because they were both burned on a divorce, and they are very aware of what is common property and what is not. They could split up pretty much any time without a lawyer because they keep such good books.
I have a Vampire 2 Card for My A600. I can do quite a lot of more modern tasks on the machine and connect it to a modern monitor. In my A1200 I have 16GB of storage on a CF card, VGA / DVI and a Music card (I can play back MP3s etc. So it like using a Pentium Era computer.

The OS is pretty decent considering its age and there are plenty of decent applications to use.

I don't find 8bit computers particularly interesting. I had a BBC Micro and a Tantung Einstein (hand me downs) and they are extremely primitive compared to the Amiga. The Amiga is very much like a modern computer.

I really wish there was Amiga OS for a PC computer (I believe MorphOS is being ported) as even the aging OS 3.1 with some extensions is in some ways better than Desktop Linux. But that is highly subjective.
At least "steps" are understandable, and the data are roughly correlated.

It could be a lot worse: I own several sleeping bags for winter backpacking. Each has been variously rated by its manufacturer as 10 C, -10 C, -30 C etc. There is no standard for this and in fact there is no correlation with performance: the best one for really cold conditions is rated -10 C.

I think Fitbit and Apple at least tried to have the number of steps taken by an "average" user registered as about the same number all the time.
