> This is why you see empty storefronts or empty lots in incredibly expensive areas.

The reason why the speculator leaves the storefronts or lots empty is that putting them to use right now would prevent them from being used for something even more valuable in the future. If they could use the property for something productive now without impacting the expected future use they would happily do so and collect the extra income. Coercing them into putting the property to use immediately, via LVT or zoning rules or whatever, is thus inefficient and economically destructive. The speculation serves a useful purpose.

> that would literally be justification for national protests and government toppling.

Sorry, I wouldn't count on that any more.

Plain-clothed officers picked people off the street in Portland and put them into unmarked vans. If that isn't the spark that caused protests and toppling, I don't believe that side has anyone to do the actual toppling. So who's going to rise up against Trump staying in office?
> If you build a language that is based around doing everything with stateless data transformations but doesn't address state and branching, it will eventually be a problem

I'm assuming you are referring to Haskell? It's a general purpose programming language so of course it handles state, branching, etc...

data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node a [Tree a]
deriving stock (Show, Functor, Foldable, Traversable)

label :: Tree a -> Tree (a, Int)
label t = evalState (traverse f t) 0 where
f t' = state (\c -> ((t', c), c + 1))

The above code labels nodes of a multiway tree using a counter. State and branching.

Wow, iPad revenue up 31% YoY after being down ~10% in the last few quarters. Similar numbers to a Q1 (holiday season). I guess it makes sense that the tablet form factor is popular when so many people are indoors.

Also, services revenue grew YoY but it’s the first time it didn’t grow QoQ in a long time, so it seems to have stagnated. Services include a lot of recurring revenue so they should be consistently growing QoQ.

Wearables growth also slowed, this may be the other side of the coin when people are indoors and don’t want to buy a watch for fitness tracking.
> That behavior of manipulating the response you give in response to interrogation by Congress is analogous to anti-debugger code; obfuscation being an act of perjury.

The parallel between debugging and political committee hearings is pretty weak. Code tends to be repeatable and fairly easy to build consensus on (eg, a group of developers will have a fairly clear and reasonable band of opinions on whether networking code is succeeding or failing). In politics, even basic questions like what the question is are subject to uncertainty and there is no consensus on even basic points.

> I don't accept the right of a Corporation or an Executive to evade or deceive official legislative apparata

So if the official legislative apparata asked you to "explain, in detail, how your activity has broken the law?" how would you answer that if you don't believe you've broken the law? That sort of question is a little uncommon but entirely plausible in a committee hearing. It is impossible to answer directly; the person in the hot seat has to push back on the premise and answer a different question.

What you are saying there is implicitly supporting the idea that the people in front of the committee should agree with the agenda of the committee. That isn't reasonable.
It supports the DIMACS input format [1], which you can parse using the kissat_parse_dimacs function [2].

DIMACS is a pretty terrible format, but at least you don't have to build the clauses up yourself using kissat_add.

I had a similar idea to this while reading the article. Basically, people donate primarily to end-user facing projects, like they do anyway (if at all). Each dependency gets 10% of the donation, which gets capped at 50:50. If there are more than 5 dependencies, these share the 50% among them.

So for example, in case I described it bad: Project A (1 dep.) gets 90%, the dep. 10%; Project B (5 dep.) gets 50%, each dep. gets 10%; Project C (10 dep.) gets 50%, each dep. gets 5%.

Now for the loopholes:

How to track dependencies? Well, I think the fear of public-shaming and pulling back of donations in case of bad acting would stop the end-user facing projects from lying. This donation system (ideally run by a trustful brand like Mozilla etc.) has a website, where you can look up projects and the dependencies they list. Since being open source is a requirement, claims can be checked.

Should all dependencies be weighted the same? The massive UI library, and the tiny bare-bones A*-implementation, or the NPM micropackages? This needs a metric that can't be rigged, so things like number of contributors, LoC or number of commits are not really sufficient.

What about MIT-licensed libraries? They may get used a lot by proprietary projects, but these can't receive donations in first place, so there is nothing to share to the libraries. Now the opinions on MIT are kinda mixed, but simply saying "your fault, pick a viral licence" is too easy, imo.

__

Footnote: How the [user]--donation-->[end-user facing project] chain works in first place, is not really part of my idea, I wanted to focus on how to get the money to the people whose project names nobody knows (until things like Heartbleed happen).

Yep, I do the same. Depending on size of data being affected, level of table RI in place,and necessity of seeing the data again later, or client calling back the following day/week having changed their mind and can we 'undo' that, I will often tack in a select into tablename_changes_jan7_2020 or some such convention to grab the unchanged records. Qty, backup retention options etc also play into this so use some common sense of course. If you worry about space, just set an drop table job up to clear it after a month or whatever.

When they made the announcement I was very curious as to how they thought it would be legal or how they thought they would get away with it if it was not.

I'm quite surprised that they simply didn't have any realistic plan for this outcome.

It's a shame, because I think their core cause is a good one, and now they're likely facing a mortal blow for something transiently related.
It does not need to be, but it makes things significantly easier for library authors. Asking OS is a more involved process than calling an instruction (for starters you should learn which OS your code is running on) and you may not have OS in the first place (e.g. for bare-metal programming).
> Are these things actually luxury goods?

I have a lot of trouble characterizing tools as luxury goods. I don't consider my Dewalt tools "Luxury Goods" and they cost roughly twice what basic Harbor Freight tools cost.

You pay for longevity and performance. It's no different with phones/ tablets/ computers. If you want a phone or tablet that lasts 4+ years there is only one brand that offers that kind of device life.

Also, with Apple cranking out the base iPhone at $400, and the massive second hand market for iPhone, it's hard to argue many people associate the brand with luxury the way they do Coach or other luxury brands.

If anyone thought Apple was a "luxury" brand, the flop of the solid gold Apple Watch "Edition" sub-brand should have disabused them of the notion.
Espressif and Amazon Introduce ESP32-Pico-V3-Zero Alexa Connect Kit Module
Rent for a low-end 1BR in Silicon Valley is about $2000/month. Low-end 2BR = ~$2600/month, high-end 1BR = ~$4500/month. Houses are ~$10K/month and up.

Entry-level tech compensation is ~$180K/year, mid-career = ~$600K/year. If you're not in tech you're screwed here - formerly middle-class professions like teachers/police/firemen live 4 to a 2BR apartment, or they buy houses an hour or more away. Even mid-career finance professionals get screwed - salary for CEO of a local (not nationwide) bank is in the ~$150-200K range, and barely competes with a new grad at Google or Facebook.
That had me scratching my head too. I have a board next to me based on the STM32F407, which is the same MCU as the Discovery board (we prototyped on the Discovery board actually) and it definitely has the capability to run an RTOS.
I think you're reading more than I said. We appear to be saying the same thing, that keeping it "under control" is the only possibility at this point. I think the cost/benefit ratio of masks clearly points to it being a good policy in confined spaces, keeping distance is the best way to keep yourself from being infected, and having crowded indoor spaces like bars, restaurants, or large events is really introducing unnecessary risk.

That being said, there's a non-trivial amount of people, particularly vocal celebrities, who have posted things like "If you idiots wore masks this would be over already" (Seth MacFarlane). Then we've got the other commenters on this post who note they have only left their house twice in the past 6 months. Many of these people believe we are only a few "stubborn people being compliant" away from eliminating the threat, which is just patently untrue. It's here to stay.
It's not a US thing, it's mainly a Google thing. They appear to have decided that they can reduce costs by saying "it's not our problem" in response to customer complaints about defective products. They do this for defects that may not even be rooted in the hardware itself.

My general impression is that most companies are quick to take responsibility for consumer products sold in the US, unless product failure results in liability for a major safety risk (think McDonald's coffee scalds or Ford Explorer rollover accidents).

If the engine computer fails in a BMW due to a widespread defect, the BMW dealer doesn't send the customer to Bosch on a wild goose chase. If a Macbook Pro SSD fails due to a widespread defect, Apple doesn't tell the customer to call Samsung. They either take ownership of the problem and make the customer happy (with the expectation that a brand-loyal customer's next purchase will pay the cost of solving the current problem), or they make an effort to offer some kind of solution at the customer's cost.

Empirical evidence of the labor theory of value [video]
I just don't think the stats bear this out. Apple vs Android is like 60/40 market split in the US, that doesn't bear out the idea that poor people NEED an iPhone AND know that they need it and pay for them accordingly.

It's probably a mix of both. iPhones are probably BOTH a status symbol AND a device many people see as a necessity and so are willing to splurge a bit more on (same as with cars).

If you search for Haskel jobs a large number seem to be block chain based.

When you look further a lot seem to be around smart contracts.

If you are interested in language design smart contracts are an interesting research area, you are basically getting paid well to design and research your own language.

What I fail to see is any viable product on the other end. There’s a few companies I can think off who have been recruiting Haskel developers for smart contracts but I can’t see a product, devs are just taking paid work in a language they like using and these companies are sucking up vc funding.

I refuse to speak to recruiters about a blockchain company heavily recruiting where I am as I am not smart enough for language design/research and more importantly I don’t see a viable product. I know a few other friends/colleagues refuse to speak to the same company due to being blockchain/not seeing a product. When I see things like this it also reaffirms my thoughts, VC backed companies heavily pushing through blockchain but it’s not a ready product https://smallcaps.com.au/asx-delays-launch-blockchain-settle...

Wow. I really thought of myself as a Super NES fan, but I learned two things today:

Technically, it is not known what the consequences of an untried action might be. There are many possibilities, that vary according to differing circumstances.
What you said has nothing to do with SMS 2FA, and has everything to do with user/their friends' gullibility, which still must be pretty high to click something on the forum and then also launch it.

It also is totally unrelated to credential stuffing.

Seems like an odd way of going about it. If you and I work for the same company in the same exact job role but you're married to an unworking spouse with 2 children and I am single, I will be taxed higher than you so my take home salary would be less despite being paid identical amounts. You're destroying information by relaying it like this and it's misleading. Your personal tax situation is irrelevant to comparing salaries across jobs.

One is a proxy for the other. There is $1.5T [1] in total outstanding student debt. There would not be such a large amount without a number of factors, but the most important piece of this puzzle is the number of students and that correlates 1:1 to with admission slots. So as I originally posited, there are enough admission slots (probably way too many given default rates) at the aggregate level. Maybe there are not enough admission slots at MIT and other similarly impressive schools, but in the aggregate there are probably too many admission slots. So "university admission slots", as you stated without any qualifiers, has an oversupply.

I don't think it's so much an issue of size as vertical integration. In this case, you have someone providing BOTH a platform AND products on the platform.

The same issue happens with Internet, where one company provides both the infrastructure AND the ISP services. In some countries (Japan), it's not legal to own both the platform and a service on that platform.

If a company provides a marketplace, they should not be allowed to also sell their own products on that marketplace because it makes the marketplace inherently unfair.

Hold on. The idea that a means of exchange can be used to purchase seedy or illegal goods is not the problem the author has with cryptocurrencies. The issue is VERY clearly stated - there's a loosely-regulated industry riddled with companies that are pushing essentially scam investments. The author is concerned that these companies are beginning to fund enough Haskell development that it's worth questioning whether they want to be associated with such an industry.

I think this is totally valid to question. To brush it off entirely as a non-issue, unworthy of even a moment's thought, is extremely peculiar.

I may be in the minority here, but no-fault attendance scores seem preferable to having companies investigate whether employees were 'actually sick' or had other 'legitimate' reasons for absence.

It also seems like companies with time-sensitive and seasonal businesses need to have some way of penalizing employees who frequently take leave during critical times (just before major holidays).
> Try getting Amazon Prime, or Spotify out of the App Store and there will be a riot. Some smaller app few care about? Not so much...

Which was my point. Their power doesn’t come from their money but the fact that their products are found useful by all those who would riot. I’m not saying it is necessarily fair, but it is not like that they are rent seeking in the app store, their apps are found widely valuable. If anything, app store was the rent seeker and now it is conceding due proceeds. Tough luck for the small developers who can’t band together for a lawsuit or a mass app-strike against that discrimination.

> The people who run them will get their bonuses and golden parachutes even if they burn the companies to the ground. And after that they can retire or easily find other positions in different companies soon enough.

Again, the point was the power is not in the money itself, it is in the growth obligation.

And you are wrong that growth is only a lesser employee concern, if anything having more captial means the opportunity cost of not growing the capital is much higher, so they are even more bound by the normativity of growth. Not necessarily growth of their immediate company, but any other investment instrument that eventually ties to the economy at large.

I wonder how much this has to do with the release of iPadOS 13, which has made the iPad a significantly more capable "computer" than previous versions of the operating system. For the majority of users (you don't fall into this category, fellow Hacker News reader), the capabilities of iPadOS are quickly approaching that of macOS.
Audits and compliance only take you so far. If your actual motivations are to truly improve security, perhaps offering code samples, libraries and reference architectures would be more helpful. Throwing compliance requirements at a technical team is an excellent way to distract them away from a truly secure architecture.

That said, there are a lot of actors out there who need babysitting and absolutely should not be allowed to participate in payment networks without some sort of initial & ongoing due diligence.

This whole thing is a delicate balancing act, but in my experience dealing with PCI-DSS, its currently an extremely heavy-handed approach. I cannot help but wonder if the primary intent of this sort of standard isn't to just keep competitors out.

Otherwise you will have fraud where people have an NYC address so they can collect a large UBI check, but actually live in Oklahoma (or overseas) where their money will go further.
