Yes, that's right. Extremely rare. The only reason that the theory works at all is that a single spontaneous collapse can propagate throughout a complex system of entanglements and collapse the whole system.

The nice thing about spontaneous collapse is that it makes a testable prediction: there should be a scale at which the behavior of an isolated system starts to show divergence from quantum predictions. So far that prediction has failed to be demonstrated, but people are still working on it.

Startup Without Code: Build an ECommerce App for Online Sneaker Store
It’s not FEMA’s job to reduce physical damage. That’s what building codes etc are for. FEMA’s job is to coordinate responses to save lives in the short term and rebuild infrastructure in the long term. Hurricanes do a lot of damage, but rarely kill people in the US.
There's three independent issues here affecting users and developers:

1. People are tracked in ways they don't understand without their knowledge or consent.

2. Apple requires that in-app purchases go through the App Store.

3. Apple does not allow 3rd-party app stores.

These can all be independently tackled and it would be a shame to gate solutions for one problem on solving the others first or at the same time. For now, apps can change their business models to ensure profits. Later, when the other issues are taken care of, they can take advantage of that as well.
I keep bouncing about the idea of work.

While the jobs weren't on HN, Hashicorp has a very strong security/governance/compliance team based on my interview there. Credit where credit due.
I would buy the "updates are important because security" line of reasoning if software developers would bother to release security-only patches to old software, but most don't. Unfortunately, you need to take the bad (UI re-designs, unwanted features, changed file formats) with the good (securest fixes), so I unfortunately often decide to keep the old, slightly more vulnerable software.

That's how Smalltalk worked in the 70s (or Squeak for a modern dialect). You can edit any part of the running system and it takes effect right away. One classic example is redefining "true" to "false" and watching the system grind to a halt. Genera was similar for LISP machines in the 80s, you had full access to the code and could modify it on the fly.

Ironically one reason that always comes up when people here talk about why Smalltalk never took off is that it's hard to integrate with source code control systems like git that are file-based.

Hey, also wanted to let you know that the e-mail they sent out had errors in it. According to the new pricing page (here: https://www.migadu.com/pricing/) The $9/mo plan offers unlimited domains. Definitely pricier than the previous $5/mo, but much more reasonable than $29/mo for unlimited domains. Hope this helps.

The 5-domain limit on the Micro plan is also a "soft" limit, and support has implied to me that you could negotiate something that works for you if need be.
Obviously it's -39, and since -39C and -39F are different you'd now be required to specify. If you knew which scale the 1 degree was from it wouldn't be difficult.

>Apple no longer has an ad network

Apple no longer has an ad network because advertisers were unhappy that it was not willing share user data.

>Apple knows names and addresses, geographic locations and app and music-purchase histories, and can show ad buyers that a group with specific characteristics also likes certain types of apps or music. However, its user tracking and ad targeting are not cookie-based, meaning agencies can't do automated buys via their cookie-centric trading desks, which allow them to mesh lots of data from different sources. Instead, they have to go to Apple, ask to reach a given audience and, well, trust Apple that it will deliver it.

One person familiar with the situation exec said Apple's refusal to share data makes it the best-looking girl at the party, forced to wear a bag over her head.

https://adage.com/article/digital/amazon-apple-catch-a-break...

Apple wanted an ad network that would allow developers to monetize free apps while still respecting end user privacy.

That's not what the people buying ads want.

>> the way android apps just demand permisions for everything making the security benefit of permissions largely pointless.

> That hasn't been the case for a pretty long time. Now the permissions are quite granular and you can accept and refuse specific one at any time.

This is technically a correct answer, but I've seen the bad habit of asking for many permissions (and sometimes refusing to work without) being more common on Android. An example is a bank's app that will refuse to launch (or I mean, provide any meaningful information/experience) unless location permission is given (this is when giving the permission means an "always allow") and unless it's connected to a cellular data network (not WiFi). On iOS, the app is better behaved and will work with some useful functionality when certain permissions are denied.
In my experience in a graphics lab, the perception was that Macs (thought they often wrote that in all caps) “couldn’t do anything.” Specifically, having a one button mouse made them unusable. I never had trouble being productive and greatly enjoyed the old Macs, but I think it was just a different way of looking at computers.

Now that macOS is every bit as complicated as windows, it’s often Microsoft’s OS that can’t do something. WSL helps some of that, but there are usability shortcuts that Windows doesn’t have. Windows is also insultingly condescending with its verbiage (“Getting Windows Ready” or “Working on Updates”). Maybe aiming low in their explanations is their one-button-mouse moment.

I don’t think the users were ever all tech-illiterate on either platform. Only perceptions have changed.
I sure hope the IA gets funded enough some day to get the kind of metrology gear [1] it would take to scan in the physical artifacts like these typewriters.

We don't have nanoscale metrology yet, but it would be nice to start at least with this level of scanned-in measurements when the original manufacturing descriptions and specs are long gone. Maybe then, one day our descendants will thank us for the foresight to capture these relics in sufficient detail to make their VR games' retro artifacts authentic.

Palantir Shows Its Cards
>The fact that the US has indivisibility in it's constitution is a weird historical wrinkle, and one I find hard to reconcile given that they chose to separate from Britain. How they didn't recognise a general right for self determination is beyond me. But then I am a Brit.

This is incorrect. The US Constitution doesn't mention indivisibility [1]. The Tenth amendment provides some Rights to self determination:

> The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

---

So while the constitution doesn't address succession by a state, the historical context of our Civil War, and court cases in its aftermath ended most of the debate on if and how states could succeed from the Union.

From Texas v. White [2]:

>When, therefore, Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation. All the obligations of perpetual union, and all the guaranties of republican government in the Union, attached at once to the State. The act which consummated her admission into the Union was something more than a compact; it was the incorporation of a new member into the political body. And it was final. The union between Texas and the other States was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original States. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.

That establishes that succession must have the consent of the States, which is a similar bar to amending the Constitution. But its interesting that the case cited pre-constitutional law, i.e. the Articles of Confederation.

This has been the biggest transgression I've had to deal with from my TV. I've absolutely decided I will never purchase a Sony TV ever again and would actively recommend that others avoid them as well. It's absolutely ridiculous that such an expensive device that I've purchased is being used as billboard.
This is a bit tangential, but I wanted to mention how the (GPL'ed) ardour project decided to view github.

We got burned by the SourceForge apocalypse back in the mid-2000's, which led to me (the BDFL) declaring that the project would never use a 3rd party host for our source code repository ever again. Granting a 3rd party the level of control that SF had (and then abused) is a non-starter for us. This means that github was never an option for us.

.... as the canonical repository.

However, we recognized the value of the tools that github offered, particularly allowing random 3rd party developers to create patches in quite effective ways. Some of the their other tools are useful, too.

So, we self-host a gitlab instance at ardour.org, and that acts as our canonical repository, but we use hooks to push all commits to the github version automatically. Random 3rd parties can use any and all of the github toolset with our code (as can we), but we have no reliance on github in any important way. We don't even have much reliance on gitlab either - it exists only to provide access roles and account management on top of the bare git server. We don't use any of gitlab's "features" either.

After about 5 years, this continues to work well for us.

I think there is a psychosis, partly created by some interests, that the Chinese government has nothing else to do but to spy on every random person that lives on the other side of the globe from them.

Effectively Tiktok is 'overseas' only from a Chinese perspective, so they would first need to have an interest in a person that lives abroad. I'm sure that there are such people, but then they probably are smart enough not to just make a formal request to Tiktok about it. And of course I think some people vastly overestimate (perhaps sometimes disingenuously) the amount of 'interesting' information Tiktok might have in that regards.

> But even with all these layers in place, you still need an actual strategy to run at the end of the day. Everything in the quoter can be optimized to hell, but if the strategy module is spinning for 1000+ microseconds because it's running some bloated ML model, then none of that really matters.

From what I have heard, Optiver have a performance lab, which replicate real conditions with an exchange replayer and they can measure wire-to-wire latency for every release.

To suggest that “bug wise“ it is the same between Mac and Linux is a bit of a stretch. I work in a team where the developers are mostly split between Mac and Ubuntu. Guess which ones often have problems joining zoom meetings or attaching their machines to a projector for a presentation? There are a lot of things that you generally don’t have to worry about much if you’re using a Mac. I’m not gonna say that one of these is better than the other, but to suggest they have equivalency wrt common scenarios is a bit strange.

Also, Mac is a certified UNIX environment, it is native.

Especially with the usual screen ratios nowadays

My computer is an 11-inch MacBook Air.

That means that even if I run Safari full-screen, which is inconvenient, I have only 680 vertical pixels for content.

It's amazing how many web sites I run into that throw up fixed-position pop-ups that are bigger than that, and I can't close them or scroll to see their content because the designers or middle managers decided that every person on the planet is rocking a 27-inch 5K display.

Usually I just close the window and never visit the site again. If it's important, I break out the dev tools and start invoking display:none until I hit the right element.
DB transaction lock and How to handle deadlock
The reason `overflow: scroll` is a better default is the need to account for every screen size or possible dynamic content. If overflow is set to `hidden` or worse `visible` your UI is going to break on some screen sizes. So basically you need to decide if you want extra scroll bars for some screens, or broken UI when a user shrinks the browser. It's very time consuming to get everything right on every screen size on every browser on every OS.

The point is that there's no future where everyone consumes as much as today's average American. You either:

a) reduce the consumption of the globally wealthy (this includes most Americans)

b) keep the globally impoverished poor to keep their consumption low

c) add in some eugenics and stop the poor people from having more kids with the promise that one day you'll let them consume the same way you already do

You're basically proposing 3, which is asking poor people to voluntarily not have kids so one day they can have what you already have by accident of birth

Well, rather, english is not a string, but a symbol.

Because symbols denote variable names in Lisp code, the expression english calls for the value of english.

If we want the value of the expression to be the english symbol object itself, we need (quote english).

Because that is too verbose for a language in which symbolic processing is prime time, there is a shorthand prefix notation for it, 'english.

It is in fact registered as a single-engine[1], but I am also suspicious. There is wiggle-room in a twin with single drive train.

If the engine were also turbo/supercharged and could do closer to 1000shp, might be possible. But if really only 500hp I think it's more 450 mph with a single pilot and no load at 45K. Same with range and field length.

There were attempts to introduce computing costs required to deliver a message.

Hashcash is a proof-of-work system used to limit email spam. Bitmessage uses proof of work to combat spam as well. Though those approaches do not seem to be popular.

My guess is that spammers can operate at scale, rent or buy GPUs, may be even build ASICs. So they'll have very cheap work. While ordinary person will use some cheap 5-year old Android phone which would spend a lot of time and battery to compute that kind of work.

It might reduce amount of extremely low-quality spam. But I guess that kind of spam is easily detectable by something like default spamassassin setup anyway.
But the economics don't seem to work out for a free-as-in-freedom model for consumer apps.

IANAQP, but your view comes close to Rovelli's Relational QM. It may not be entirely precise to say that your computer knows the "correct" answer -- it just know its answer. Yours still does not exist. Once you know your answer, its answer "becomes" correct (because you must agree).

(Of course, given that the very existence of the Geiger counter or computer may depend on which branch occurred (perhaps there was a bomb on one path?), it's unclear whether you are free to think of there even being an "it" that could have an answer, either.)

But he wasn't born in Britain, any more than someone born today in Gibraltar or Montserrat would be. He was born in Virginia, a British colony.
