IMO, the HN guidelines are pretty clear and reasonable regarding these situations.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

The original poster was making an assertion that TDB is too complex. As the guidelines suggest, it doesn't help the conversation to assume that they arrived upon this conclusion unreasonably, and that they're irrational or otherwise unwilling to have an open conversation about it.

We have to assume that they are open to a discussion, despite whatever we might interpret as evidence to the contrary.

The more plausible scenario would be 11.1 and 10.17

The trick of checking version >= 10.16 to cover both 10.16 and 11.0 would not work then, as version >= 10.17 would cover 11.0 (10.16) too.

I think the obligation would attach to the user running the service regardless of whether they were the person who made the modification. Looking at the actual text I see

Logically you would be liable for providing a copy of the software running to your users and he or she would be liable to provide source to you. Merely placing more links in the chain wouldn't abrogate someone either you or they from sharing their modifications.

I don't even think it's ideological. The reason the defense industry lacks top tier talent is because it's quite literally the most stifling and frustrating place to work possible. You're mired in endless bureaucracy, incompetent management, arcane rules and regulations surrounding secrecy, and some of the world's least flexible working arrangements. It ends up being a great place for people who want to punch a clock and get a reliable paycheck, but a deadend for anyone trying to make their mark.

This lecture was by Ray Monk, who wrote a fantastic and very accessible biography of Wittgenstein: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12079.Ludwig_Wittgenstei...

Wittgenstein's work can be pretty difficult to wrap your head around, but Monk does a great job of getting its main thrust while covering his life too.

No income tax on business or personal income. You can become the state’s resident after spending just one night in a hotel and opening a bank account. That’s partially why it’s highly favored by RVers who choose to longer have a permanent home.

I've spent countless hours looking into these things. I've found no evidence for what you're saying. Literally zero.

I'm not saying that to pick an argument—it's just the factual situation. Meanwhile, there's enormous evidence that people imagine things like astroturfing, shillage, foreign agents, etc., based on what they believe they see in internet threads. That's why the site guidelines ask you not to post such insinuations unless you have something objective to go on. The appearance of a comment getting upvoted doesn't count—that's simply an indication that people have different views.

This reminds me of the Socratic method that Socrates would use to refute someone's claims. He would first make them agree with a series of statements ("truths") one after the other and then run into a contradictory result thereby showing them how their original thesis was wrong.

That is not exactly true. OLED can be very efficient. Not just in Dark Mode, but you need to be aware of those pitfalls and optimise for it. Since in overall package the Display is roughly the same power but you get much better quality.

Not to mention there are at least 3 - 5 years roadmap of technology in the pipeline that makes it even more energy efficient and thinner. ( Thinner equals potential for larger battery )
Sub title How the Spanish arrival transformed the land—and decimated the population—of Mesoamerica is an understatement. “Decimation” is the death of 1 of 10. The indigenous people in the Americas died at rates much higher. The article describes details of 60-95% death rates. The article reinforces downplaying the scale of horror in the title by science-washing its ruthlessness as an agricultural lifestyle choice.

I've been watching a BBC series that does historical re-enactments, and in particular the series on building a castle, and the one on monastic farming in the early days of the Tudor Kings: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01k3b96

The historian keeps mentioning in a very jovial way that at the beginning of the Tudor era The Church was the second biggest land owner in England. That doesn't sound jovial to me. Further, the burgeoning middle class was developing in part as sharecroppers on church land, half of England's exports were sheep wool, the Church is responsible for a large fraction of the social safety net, owned many of the mills (and enforced a monopoly with the sharecroppers) and was selling booze at festivals.

It paints for me a much more complex picture of Henry VIII's motivations for breaking with the Church. There's this sort of notion that it was a frivolous thing for him to do and now I'm examining that assertion a bit more skeptically, as spin. There were so many subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which it objectively represented a threat to sovereignty, one that was growing larger by the decade.

I'd nearly convinced myself to watch The Tudors and now I think I probably will.

It's not a linguistic trick. It used to be that banks had to keep a certain percentage of they money they had on deposit on the premises. Slowly, this amount (the "reserve rate) was lowered to 0% under Obama.
I don't think people should be downvoting you. Whether or not they share the sentiment or disagree, this is a worthy opinion to raise for discussion. And refute if appropriate, but not downvote.

I think the main argument against it is that there's many, many unexpected factors that could derail any small company's ambitions. This is just like an insurance policy. It's not meant to signal you doubt your own capabilities (though some of course, do -- and that's where there need to be safeguards).

I agree. The biggest difference that came to mind when I read your comment is that a personal wiki doesn't have the economy of scale that Wikipedia has. With Wikipedia, the effort of hundreds to organize everything can benefit millions. With a personal wiki, the dynamic is different. I 100% agree that there's a real risk of a 'honeymoon period' giving a false sense of ROI, and I've fallen victim to early enthusiasm about various organizations strategies that ended up not lasting more than a month. I've resorted to a to-do list and a chronological work log as mechanisms that require little organizational investment but yield many of the benefits of a more sophisticated system.

I didn't find this article very enlightening.

It uses too many words to explain a straightforward concept: You hand your cash over to a bank, in exchange they give you an IOU. They give out IOU's far in excess of the amount of cash assets they actually hold.

The concept of "short-term promises in exchange for long-term promises" was a bit more illuminating.

It might also be misleading to say the bank takes ownership of your deposits. More accurate to say they take custody, given the strong fiduciary obligations the transaction imposes on them (at least in developed economies).

The intrusive sign-up-to-subscribe form a mere few paragraphs in doesn't win the author any love from me, and while I don't generally mind mspaint-flavored art I found the annotated illustrations somewhat amateur. The whole article feels like it was written by a youth who just discovered the concept of fractional reserve banking and wants to educate the world.
Simplicity of keyboard seems like a bigger deal.
The point of this article is: a bank deposit is an asset for you, the depositor, and therefore a liability for the bank. A mortgage is a liability for you, and therefore an asset to the bank.

Sometimes we get confused and we think that the bank deposits must be assets for the bank, and mortgages must be liabilities. This isn't because of some linguistic quirk. It's because its good for the bank to have a lot of deposits, because it means it's doing a lot of business. In the same way a company with a billion-dollar line of credit is likely doing better than a firm who can't borrow a cent.
This speech by the SNB chairman describes fractional reserve banking well in my opinion: https://www.snb.ch/en/mmr/speeches/id/ref_20180116_tjn
It is a linguistic trick. Same as "credit card" (a loan card), credit implies the opposite.
That's pretty cool. Congrats to the author!

I'm really interested in these types of topics too, so I'll add some more info to this thread.

I agree that things like Smalltalk could be a great alternative platform for IoT and edge computing. [1][2]

With GPIO access [3], very cool debugging abilities [4], and some capabilities for on-device AI/ML with TensorFlow [5], Smalltalk already has some real potential in this area. I've even tried Smalltalk on Amazon AWS (ARM) and it worked really well there too [6] with the ability to make a Docker Swarm if desired [7].

Full disclosure, I work with Instantiations (the company that develops VA Smalltalk), and they have developed a really cool VM that runs on ARM. Their interpreter VM is working on both ARM 32 / ARM 64 platforms at this point, and we've been doing a lot of testing of the LLVM-based VM with JIT compiler, PICs, and everything. And yes, it works for ARM v6, v7 and v8 so far. Small runtime images (around 1MB) or even the full blown VM with full IDE/language can be run on Linux ARM platforms (not bare metal yet...but maybe at some point.)

Feel free to reach out to me for more details or discussion.

Keep up the good work!

See my comment below--the tax-related demand for USD comes from the holding period between incurring the tax liability and paying it, not from the payment itself. Even if you get paid in BTC and pay your taxes in BTC, 1 mBTC earned on Jan 1 with a 30% tax rate doesn't imply you owe 0.3 mBTC on April 15--USA tax law expects you to convert from BTC to USD using the Jan 1 exchange rate to calculate your tax liability, and then convert back using the April 15 exchange rate when you make the payment.
Logically what you actually do is you ask a lawyer to tell you what a judge would probably say in order to spend merely hundreds to low thousands instead of 10s of hundreds of thousands embroiled in lawsuits.

You could also spend nothing and adhere to the strictest letter and spirit of the law instead of trying to get away with something.
My last iPhone worked perfectly, but stopped receiving updates. 8 months ago, I replaced it with a new iPhone for security reasons and some Apps did stop working too.

At first I was annoyed that I needed to replace it, but once I started using my new iPhone, my only regret was not upgrading sooner. I use my phone so much that my quality of life improved drastically.

The iPhone planned obsolescence after 6 years seems pretty reasonable to me (I did the math and liked the numbers). But regardless of the 6 years or not, next time I'll probably upgrade sooner to have another step function increase in my quality of life.

The market (like myself) seems to demand a 6 or less year life-cycle. At least this way Apple is planning for it, and is striving to remove all negative externalities of obsolescence. Wouldn't this be equally effective, while also being (given market dynamics) more practical?
For some reason I hate the combination of companies and charity. If a company wants to be charitable they should pay their employees livable wages and give them quality benefits. Everyone wants to show how charitable they are but nobody wants the janitors to be able to support their families.

>Why so many game devs are enamored with Elo when it comes to ranking is a bit bizarre.

Perhaps. So what countries overcame these issues by training new people and not addressing the internal systemic issues that lead to the drain or burnout of skilled workers?

How does training of new people address the established culture that encourages hitting milestones (internal) but not achieving the overall mission? How does training of new people address the fundamental problem of developing and testing using 3-20 separate networks with data sharing consisting of bobnet (sneakernet but Bob is the only one authorized to move data between systems)? How does training of new people prevent poaching by contractors or private companies paying 2-3x the salary? How does training of new people fix the problem of inexperienced (training isn't experience) novices running acquisition programs and getting bullied by contractors?

The fundamental model of IT acquisition and software development within the US government is broken. Training the next generation isn't enough, and universities already do that well enough. You have to break the existing system.

“Reserves” are a completely different thing from “deposits” though. I don’t think the bank is deliberately being tricky, but I think the idea of banks “lending out people’s deposits” is not quite true.
I'm not sure that's literally true. Given sufficient money:

- Desired faculty: We'll triple your salary and hire your spouse too. Oh, and give you unprecedented freedom.

- Desired students: Free tuition and board and a great campus environment.

At the least you could jump-start a pretty darned interesting educational institution at least within a certain focus. But I'm not sure the money is realistic, at least at a scaled undergraduate level.

Just to be clear, the bank holds more assets than its liabilities, otherwise it would have gone bankrupt. It just happens that a lot of these assets are themselves IOU from private customers, usually backed by a property asset.
Absolutely. We have found matching programs are painful to run.

It's also a small misconception that payroll deduction giving is pre-tax. Giving is a post tax benefit either way, so we think it's a better experience for the donor to have control of their monthly automatic contributions rather than having to bug their HR / finance department at their company to increase/decrease it.

Reply better.

I know who you're replying to. The premise that gary-kim laid out is still the relevant context. The hypothetical you're laying out, on the other hand, is not relevant, it's at odds with that premise (not in "agree[ment] with him"), and it's derailing the thread. (Which is the same reason your "future versions, not past versions" is downvoted, for that matter.)
AutoPKG and Munki aren't MDMs.

I use both AirWatch (now VMWare Workspace ONE) and MS Intune (now Microsoft Endpoint Manager) right now.

The problem is that they incorporate different technologies. For example, Workspace ONE includes Munki for its app distribution but MS does a different thing. Also many run scripts in the background to check things, which may or may not do things differently.

I haven't really tested Big Sur much with the MDMs because there isn't much point until all our antivirus software etc is updated to support it. But I'm pretty sure this will cause additional issues, and Macs in enterprise are already very difficult. Mainly because of Apple's consumer focus, enterprise manageability is always second place unfortunately.
You can probably get the same information by looking at the webgl fingerprint, since the iGPU inside the A12Z is different than the ones used in Intel macs.
Yes, .pdb files are used by most toolchains for debug information on Windows.

No, Go doesn't use .pdb files.

On all platforms Go stores a significant amount of meta-data in the binary, in the same format so that they can access it using the same code on all platforms.

This information is used by the runtime. Precise garbage collector needs to know the layout of structures and stack to know which fields are pointers; To generate readable callstack Go needs info about function and where they come from (source code file name, position). etc.

A sidenote: you can convert DWARF debug info to .pdb using external tool which allows debugging Go programs with Windows native debuggers like WinDBG.

We're in a recruitment-related field (online background checking) and we can clearly see that recruitment activity has dropped way off, even in sectors that are largely unaffected by the pandemic.

My theory is that people are clinging on to their jobs tightly as unemployment rises, so discretionary turnover is way down.
Thanks, great point. I updated my remark to say "cash assets" and I'm open to better phrasing.
