The modbyte trick is clever.

The writeup sure brought back memories.

Over 20 years ago I made a 2-player graphical worm game for DOS. I still have it in a zip. It is 123 bytes long and back then I couldn't squeeze more out of it.

After reading that writeup I feel like there's so much bloat in that 123 bytes!
However, in a world in which it is common for college students to declare bankruptcy immediately after graduating, financial institutions might take advantage of that information and realize that their creditworthiness is much higher than the bankruptcy would predict. Kind of like how the stock price many companies go up after they cut retirement benefits.

This of course will be to the spiral and collapse of the college loan system.
Yes, puts are covered for now. There are several standardized levels of account access to buying/selling options. I think selling naked puts requires Level 5 while selling covered puts requires Level 3. I recommend practicing buying options first, and selling the options that you have bought, before selling covered or naked options.
Judging by the brands GP was suggesting, my assumption is that they are looking for the exact same thing you are - better hardware design, rather than UI design.

Having a bankruptcy on your record may make it difficult to get that high-paying job, as employers may not look favorably upon it.

Nah, food processors will need to come up with ways to physically distance with screening or otherwise provide PPE. Those jobs will suck and there won't be any socialization in lunch/break rooms but it will be necessary.

We will learn more during this time about how the virus works and how to treat it as well. Hopefully that knowledge will help us exit faster but we should expect this to be a long term new normal.

Travel and tourism is definitely going to take a bigger and continued hit. But there might be ways to make it work.

And FYI they just released a new version of the Lemur Pro 14 laptop with a gigantic 74 Wh battery. I pre-ordered one and got it a few weeks ago and am on it now with 40 GB of RAM. I had been waiting for the high-RAM Dell XPS 13 with linux but got sick of waiting and then this popped up. It's astoundingly light and performant for its class. I absolutely love it.

CPU manufacturers are giving us multi core CPUs because it's no longer practical (because of heat and power draw) to just keep scaling frequencies. People are saying that you need multi core CPUs because there are no single core CPUs in existence that are fast enough.

You're talking past everyone because you're arguing hypotheticals, and assuming everyone else is also talking about hypotheticals, but they're not.
When you sell a put, the risk is in the stock going down, not going up.

So you need to have enough cash in the account to buy the stock at the strike price of the put (or be long longer dated or further out of the money puts).
You meant lower gravity, right? Mars is smaller then Earth.
The risk of the stock going up is that you make a lot of money :-)
Rich people mightn't have a stellar credit score, but they're still creditworthy.

Your credit report is really a way of automating what a bank manager would have done at some point for every customer, i.e examine your finances, references, legal history, etc.

It's really just a model for consumer creditworthiness of someone earning under the 95% percentile of wealth. As it's needlessly laborious for a bank manager to examine you in depth for a $5'000 dollar credit card.

Credit scores are not a factor in nearly any big loan. One might be utilising most of their available credit (as their limit is low), or have failed a few hard searches. In the case of a big loan like a mortgage, it's not so automated and is worth digging deeper.

When you're rich, every loan is a big loan - and it's worth the bank's time determining how much they should lend to you on a case by case basis.

Yeah, and that makes it look like a lead generation button intended to get me to try the thing before I realize that the Free version won't quite suit my needs.

I don't really care if it's a "pricing" page or not. The question you need to answer before I try you product is "what am I not getting by using the free version?" If there's an enterprise version in the works, tease me a little and "Coming soon" a bunch of enterprise-y features in a feature table. Just don't make me give you my email address, go through a confirmation flow, try out the product, and then tell me "if you need more than 1 user, click here to give us your CC".
Selling puts is bullish. You are selling someone the option to sell you shares at a given price so if the stock goes up, you collect the premium (since no one will voluntarily sell you something at a lower price than the spot price). If the stock goes down, then you are buying shares at a price you presumably deemed sufficient to hold in the long term.
Why is it a bit much? I think the "corporate death penalty" is appropriate when you fail to protect the financial history of 147 million people.
It costs $100K to hire IDEO design guys. That's not a lot of money for a company like System76.
How is the first link a "deep dive" or a good explanation of Urbit? He just puts Urbit down for being intentionally obscure and then confuses it with "Urbit Data", some random unrelated shitcoin that was going on at the time.

Nothing they say indicates they even read a single line of source, it's just the same insults you can find in any HN Urbit thread.

C interop is slow in golang so I don’t think it would be the best language for it. People do it with SDL though
dividends are what people historically bought stocks for, not speculation. If you want your stocks to pay dividends, earnings per share is a much more useful metric.
This seems unfair.

I really like System76 design. They do a great job at making Linux systems seem friendly and worthy of consideration as Mac/Windows replacements, especially for a small company.

I also find their website much easier to use than Dell’s or Lenovo’s, and their branding and copywriting has more personality.

On the hardware front, their upcoming in-house laptop project will be worth keeping an eye on. It will start to give them more design flexibility over their current range (which is not designed in-house): https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/11/20/syste...
It most certainly is.
All of the above let you move risk around in a different way. They solve a discrete, financial problem that the others don’t.

What discrete problem does moving stocks onto the blockchain solve?
> The number of shares is arbitrary and can be adjusted up or down by a split/reverse split or dilution.

The number of shares you own is not arbitrary - it's actually a very important number to you. So you multiply how many shares you own, with EPS, and you know your personal profit.

In particular your profit per how much that share cost.

Obviously investing in stocks has other ways that you can make money, but EPS is pretty core to the whole thing.
I really like what System76 is doing by catering to power users and developers. However I think that long-term Ubuntu is not an ideal base, and I would prefer a rolling-release distribution with minimal packages, a good ports system and the latest kernel. I know a lot of people have experience with debian based distributions, but Debian is really not the best distro if you want to customize things or have a relatively rare toolchain (common for developers). All the debian specific changes are akin to small papercuts that really make for an unpleasant experience over time.

When you think about it, most developers use Mac OS with a ports system (brew), combined with Flatpack-like packaging for some big apps. I think this is what the Linux Desktop needs to emulate to get more market share. Linux definitely has a huge advantage by being able to run docker containers natively.
Other popular databases have named functions for this:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/json-function-refere...

If the tools are good enough, there would be communities of people making better music than the original artists.

Credit card pricing is not a fixed thing. PayPal, for instance, offers 5% + $0.05 microtransaction pricing. Surely that also works as a solution
If you have ANY third-party scripts running on your site you have a risk that they are spying on your users by choice or they've been hacked, e.g. Ticketmaster/Magecart[1].

In both your examples, you'd want to restrict what third-party code lives on what part of the site. In a similar way, you don't want your adtech partners running code on your checkout pages. You want to remove the need to trust entirely.

Your second scenario doesn't feel that realistic at all. You are worried that Stripe is going to have enough URLs logged to have a useful dating history for a user and then somebody is going to hack Stripe to gain access to this data (perhaps a nefarious employee), exfiltrate enough of it to reconstruct, then publish the history.

If this is a concern, you should have total control over your entire infrastructure. If you are on AWS perhaps there's a chance that somebody will hack ELB so they can get a complete history of all your users too?

Not true at all. Apple sells premium products at a premium price
Just as a counterpoint, I like System76's design choices.

I've used Pop!_OS on my personal computer, and I consistently use it professionally because of how nicely it works for getting CUDA running on NVIDIA-enabled systems. I definitely prefer it over stock Ubuntu. Keeping GNOME for switching between workspaces but hiding the application bar by default makes the most of smaller screens is great. The combination of flat graphics, clean lines, geometric design notes, and color scheme choices resonates nicely with me.

I haven't had a lot of experience with their hardware, but I also think the choices in the Thelio line of desktops (which I believe the only product they have full manufacturing and discretion over) seemed really nice with the wood accent and low-key etchings on the metal.
Move over, Zoom. This magic interface is the future of videoconferencing
Seems OK. Google, Bing, and DDG all show the sys76 pop OS site when I search for just pop os.

Searching for "how to burn a CD pop os" has less useful results than "how to burn a CD ubuntu", but I think that's a user base size issue, not a naming issue.
> How many public companies have needed bailouts after spending most of their profits on stock buybacks, again?

Setting aside for the moment the general agreement that bailouts are bad, and a policy failure rather than a market failure...maybe another question to ask is: what percentage of the GDP comprises public companies that needed bailouts after spending most of their profits on stock buybacks? One of the advantages of decentralized planning is that there is no single point of failure — some subset of corporations are always efficiently providing for consumers. Governments that are large and centralized enough are single points of failure, and it's really hard to correct that once such failures occur.

> As opposed to public companies and the quarterly earnings cycle?

But Value Investing is a big part of the market, and it's fundamentally a long-run investment strategy. Some of the most successful and impactful companies don't pay dividends, or operate on losses with the expectation of profits at some time in the distant future.

Even the argument that Governments are good at doing big things without the expectation of profit seems to be under scrutiny. NASA's planned SLS moon mission is a bit of a disaster — way over budget and way behind schedule. Because the boosters aren't reusable, each launch is expected to cost $1B (with a B) dollars — EACH launch! Meanwhile SpaceX's target cost-per-launch is $50M. SLS is unlikely to fly until at least 2021[1]. Meanwhile, SpaceX is building a factory that will manufacture 1 Starship (capable of going to the Moon), every 72 hours[2].

I don't even need to go down the F-35 rabbit hole.

> I want to see Equifax bleed

This seems vindictive. Their behaviour should be corrected and other people deterred. We shouldn't be calling for blood!
Because you own a certain number of shares, so you can have a figure. If they split the EPS will change but the amount of share you own as well.

If you want an overalls figure look at their financial statements.
Or tell you to return it when you move/cancel in 10 years. At which point they have you over a barrel for the $$$$ they want for a piece of equipment that is basically worthless.

I would return it to the local office and get a receipt anyway.
It's worth pointing out that self-defense is a legal defense that absolves oneself of guilt. There's a similar defense called "necessity," where you can be absolved of guilt in committing a lesser crime to avoid a greater harm in narrow circumstances. But political activism (of the sort the OP admits to committing) is conclusively not in that set of circumstances.

I suppose booting the live image and dumping packages to a file, then diffing that might be one approach?

You might also want to archive all of /etc, and compare - but that might introduce too much noise.
If you can prove the data has never been made available, you can prove it wasnt used.

If you can prove that data existed previously, the data used came from somewhere else, you essentially prove it didn't come from this breach. You would do this by catching the people responsible for identity theft, and identifying what data source they used. It would be very unlikely for equifax or anyone to go through this trouble or risk the bad press of attacking victims (even if they are somebody elses victims.)

>My interpretation is that your claim is valid if you had data with Equifax and you subsequently spent time or money establishing credit monitoring or identity theft resolution.

I believe there were different types of claims, one being credit monitoring, and another that your data was used against you.
No I had a clearance required position in the military along with my coworkers and they're actually primarily concerned about two things:

Honesty when filling out your form SF-86. Are you gonna lie about being contacted by a foreign agent in the future just like you lied about smoking a couple puffs in high school? Lie on the SF-86 and get caught and its instant permanent deny.

Blackmail opportunity where if you have a current or likely future addiction a foreign agent could provide you with money or drugs or silence in exchange for info. So a couple puffs in high school, who cares, on the other hand stripping copper to pay for meth last week is instant deny. Same blackmail issue for credit report issues. In the really old days it was the same thing for non-hetrosexual people, if they figure you could get blackmailed then no clearance.

There's a lot of hand wavy but assuming you're functional in the sense of not being high at the interview while also not being the most financially insolvent person in your future department, the only real way to fail a mere S or even a TS is to lie on your SF-86 when you apply. The vetters have a rough subjective job so they really like finding an objective factual falsehood like a misdemeanor possession or similar, because then they can take it easy and stamp deny.

Very strong second on this! Use case for me: Like most ppl, I often listed to podcasts while doing some other primary task (cooking, driving, etc.), and am unable to "note" the interesting snippets. When I go back to find those snippets, I am often unsure of which exact episode I heard it on, and if I do remember that, using the audio scrubber to find it is still a disaster. Would love to give it a try when you roll this out.

Neat, on the bottom of the page there is a switch that changes all screenshots to Dark Mode (to demonstrate the OS's feature).

But the neat part is that in the "Gaming" card, it swaps Firewatch (a game/movie-with-buttons notorious for its gorgeous daylight scenes) to Elite: Dangerous (a game set in space, which is pretty visually dark).

If the same attention to detail is present in the OS design itself, it's bound to be some good.

Everyone wins some and loses some with government spending. But overall as a collective group, the idea is that the group is better off (e.g. a more educated population produces greater amounts of valuable work which raises the standard of living for everyone, etc.).
What I think is telling, is how easy to read Shannon’s paper is. Even today it is used pretty much as is at many EE colleges to teach communication theory.

Another cool fact: Shannon’s master thesis is most likely the most influential one of all time: in it, he linked Boolean algebra to electrical circuits with switches, essentially inventing digital circuit theory.
I'm sure they won't be able to deanonymize the data at the government's behest.

The only way your salary won’t go up on a yearly basis is if you’re constantly on the road to being fired. Cost of living increases (2%), as well as small yearly increases to keep you motivated and content (1-2%), are just a fact of life when working for a company.

The only part that’s tied to your perceived value and leverage are bonuses or new job salaries (and most of the time those are tied to your previous salary). I’m not counting bonuses, and getting over a 20% increase when switching jobs is a startlingly rare event reserved for CEOs and the Guidos of this world.

Also, if you have concrete examples to the opposite, I’d like to hear them. Simply claiming repeatedly that they are merit based does nothing to sway me to your position.

Different people learn in different ways, but personally I’ve had more success with the opposite approach, ie “top-down”.

As in, rather than learning in depth all the low level parts then finally putting it together at the end, start with a surface high-level understanding of a working prototype then expand into the details of how everything works inside.

In the case of ML, this could mean starting with a 5 line SciKit-learn prototype of a random forest model, seeing some working predictions, then expanding knowledge from there - what data is going in and what is coming out? What’s a classifier? What’s a decision tree? Etc
I wouldn't be too sure on the second point. I recently went through a background verification check initiated by one of the FAANG company. It was all clear for me but the criminal check report kind of hinted the sources they were hitting up. It seems they were looking up:

- Media reports

- Court records(they had called the search global, I am not sure if that's just a namesake or if they are hitting up systems of even multiple countries)

Additionally, there was identification number of human verifiers on the reports.
I really doubt this. Irish people are plenty familiar with Britain and Canadians with the US. Doesn’t stop bashing at all.
