Nope. The judge is an ultra-conservative Bible-thumper family court guy (there are only 2 judges in the rural county, and they seem interchangeable) who doesn't care about anyone and her attorney is a lazy, milquetoast, limp lasagna noodle who should be reported to the bar for malpractice. My mom is almost out of money and her ex is dragging her all the way to court and blocking every reasonable settlement. She won't have anything left after this is over. The ex even muttered "why did he do it" under his breath because it's costing him so much, like he has some sort of dementia mixed with regret going on. The kicker is he will eventually inherit millions of dollars, but my mom will die in abject poverty while he quibbles about $100 of spousal support which is peanuts to him.
Desktop browsers have it, too, at least for opening popup windows and unmuting audio. Site owners work around it by coaxing the user into clicking a button that opens the prompt, with a label that says it does something else.

The popup window situation has gotten so bad that even websites that legitimately want popups have stopped using them, because it's such a PITA to get them to reliably open.

Entrepreneurship 101: 5 Legal Requirements for Starting your Business
Apart from funding, setting up, and hiring employees, you need to meet certain legal requirements before starting your business. Here are 5 of them.

Well first, I think we'd mine asteroids.

After that, there are a number of factors that would impact what we'd do with mined materials:

1. In order to mine asteroids in a worthwhile way, we'd likely need to invent autonomous technologies to do so, otherwise we're likely not going to be able to do so effectively/efficiently. That will include the ability to autonomously build autonomous mining/refining/manufacturing facilities.

1a. If we're able to do that, we'll then have the technologies available to efficiently build space-based and planet-based habitats and manufacturing facilities.

2. Assuming we're able to accomplish (1), the obvious route would be to build more mining/refining/manufacturing facilities. This would allow us to create a space-based industrial base. However, it's not clear if such a base can provide materials and finished goods for those (pretty much all of us) living in a gravity well.

3. As such, I think the greatest benefit from learning how to mine asteroids will be in applying the autonomous technologies required on the Earth.
I have a hard time buying this hybrid architecture is the future. Running a bunch of stateful services with potentially large storage requirements in my own infrastructure is not zero-maintenance even if the control plain is managed. And proxying the UI for end users introduces back security and usability issues.

The best experience and lowest friction sale is to deliver a fully managed experience and earn the trust of customers. Confluent, Snowflake, Mongo Atlas, Rockset, CockroachDB, Elastic, Splunk, New Relic, etc all prove this is a great model for both customers and vendors. For the largest security conscious customers you can offer a fully VPC/on-prem solution with exactly the same form factor if you want. Hybrid can have its place, but I'd always try hard to offer a managed solution if you can justify it.
The new thing is that when the F is running down Broadway instead of 6th Ave, it shows an orange line down Broadway instead of down 6th Ave. This is good for some of the extreme service change weekends, the kind where they move the F to the Q and then turn it into a D in Brooklyn so they can run the D on the F in Brooklyn and the A in Manhattan so nobody's running anything at all on Sixth Avenue and they can do all the work they need there. Or when the southbound 5 turns around at Bowling Green and runs northbound on the 1 and 2 so that they can work on a specific switch in the old South Ferry Loop.

But even when it shows this to be the case, it does a very poor job of exposing the specific form of the deviance from normal.
I was unaware that the term had been retired, as I still see it used in mainstream media pretty frequently - I've read it as recently as this morning [0]. Perhaps I stumble upon these threads sometimes when they're still being authored, but my experience has been:

-> See a tweet in my primary twitter feed

-> Click "Show this thread"

-> Now I'm in the middle of a thread, probably at the most liked tweet

-> Scroll up to the top

-> Read through each tweet scrolling down, with the author's profile picture, display name and twitter handle repeated every 100-280 characters.

-> At the bottom, if there are new tweets I usually resort to clicking on the tweet itself to load new replies, even if they're a continuation of the thread by the same author.

Not a great UX for me. Given that most of these threads end with a commenter invoking a bot like threadreader to "unroll" the thread and post it to another website, I'm certainly not alone in this.

Governments gets 2x revenue from revenue sharing than from auctions so govts do lose. Your argument uses self-justification but there is a counter factual for which empirical data exists.

Companies also lose as they have fixed liabilities on their balance sheet. If companies are hamstrung by debt then they do not have resources to invest in their network, subscribers suffer.

Who exactly wins for this grand experiment in top-down auction design?
Apologies, this is pointless, but I just think it's funny you said "attract different animals" as if building a farm and waiting would cause cows and chickens to wander in and settle there.

> could've easily been used to comply with the license.

The AGPL is pretty much impossibly to comply with. Read the part about "Corresponding Source" and think about just how much Corresponding Source is out there.

E.g.: If this company ran the service on AWS, then the source code for their provisioning scripts for AWS to run the service would be in scope. And those scripts probably pull in internal libraries.

Or not. You may find out after a multi-year court battle that this part of the AGPL is unenforcable. Who knows? It's lose-lose anyway.

It's absolutely not worth it to run AGPL. It's not a weird reaction at all. It's probably the only possible action.
I use Firefox on Mac, but I don't notice any performance hits. At least not compared to Chrome, or browsers on other operating systems. I don't use Safari so maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on.

Precious and rare metals. Imagine a rather low price of gold, platinum, and the like which will improve electronics chemistry and manifactoring processes. Maybe, a space lift one day, but we are going into speculation territory there.

Typical "smart" solution, that completely fails when meeting the real world.

I wonder how many horrible software issues we've created trying to force smart/elegant solutions and then having either to: completely rebuild the feature, create horrible workarounds, or just let users deal with it however they can (which seems it's the Gmail way).

Nope - we looked into it. I love KA. But my kids hate it. They hate most of the educational apps out there that we have tried, including the ones forced upon them this year for remote learning.

> If there is a way to consistently "beat" the market then everyone will adopt the strategy and you're no longer ahead.

Sure, assuming every market participant has knowledge of the winning strategy, and the skills to employ it..which is a pretty big caveat.

By this logic why do some chess players beat others? Wouldn't they all simply adopt the same strategy?
There are many fine languages that have used `end` to delimit blocks, including: Pascal — an elegant, classic language (and my first, personally); Ruby — another gem (get it). And yes, also Matlab, which is hardly unique in this respect.
I don't see how representation of floats by natural numbers that we all use on daily basis is misleading.

In fact, your entire comment is just an ordered sequence of natural numbers, and it does not seem to be very misleading (though it tried to trick).

Besides, the article is purposed to be a rigorous mathematical proof of current representations in RL being unsuitable for AGI, but I haven't seen a Definition for "misleading" there.
If your source is your own personal experience, you should show a little more humility about that fact, instead of attributing ignorance to anyone who disagrees with you.

I have my personal code of ethics and I do not think using Google is unethical.
4 GB RAM for a 5-disk ZFS isn't going to be a great experience, as far as I understand.
Google had 61% of the search market in 2008. Google used their free browser, paid placement deals, and acquisitions to further enhance their position to the 90%+ that it is now.

Why do you think Google bought Android? Google panicked after seeing a private demo of iOS. Remember, back then Google execs were sitting on the Apple board.
It requires you to prominently state the license choice and some consequences thereof, and if you don't provide a link or a physical copy of the source then you must proactively provide a notification that the source is available (there are constraints on that notification, but I don't remember them off the top of my head).

It definitely does not suffice to simply send the source code on demand without additional up-front work.
> This makes me wonder what their thinking was. Did they decide to take it down because of potential/unknown (to them) legal implications of using it for three years without providing a way to get the source?

Probably. Maybe combined with asking an actual lawyer who likely would look at the license go NO NO NO NO, SHUT IT DOWN NOW, AND NEVER TOUCH AGPL AGAIN!

Speaking from experience.

Yes, thankfully the metaphor fails when we take coercion into account.

Crypto scammers, overwhelmingly, simply fool people chasing easy profits. Hacks and actual offensive behaviors are uncommon, you're safe from predators in your den and you don't need to leave it.

Wait until smart contracts have been live for a certain amount of time before interacting with them. You won't fall prey to predatory behavior if you mint DAI with Maker or trade well known tokens on Uniswap for instance. The danger comes when sending money with no guarantees of getting anything back, in the hope of multiplying your money.
It has worked very badly in Germany as well. In the year 1999, the UMTS licenses were auctioned based on Milgrom and Wilsom's ideas. The government's revenue was awesome, but it came at a high price. The telcos had to take up large credits, hindering future investments in their their mobile networks. Today, Germany has one of the worst mobile networks in the western countries.

Show HN: Libre AliExpress invoice generator browser add-on
This isn't exactly a new product idea since there are numerous existing add-ons and other services that offer this functionality. However, I found myself massively disappointed with the available options because either they were charging top dollars for minimal value or appeared super phishy and unsafe to use (how comfortable would you be letting some closed-source add-on run on AliExpress while being logged in?).

So I asked myself, how hard could it possibly be to create an open source alternative that turns my order details pages into PDF invoices? Well turns out not that hard but still a little harder than expected. :D

I released this on addons.mozilla.org about a year ago. A few other people have discovered it since and shared thoughts that already led to enhancements.

Since some people were asking, I recently decided to also make the add-on available for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstonre/detail/aliexpress-invoic...) which turned out to be surprisingly simple.

If anyone else is in this niche, maybe you'll find this helpful and have a few thoughts to share on the functionality.
what kind of limitations in a few words?
You're missing quite a few steps. I just ran through this process to ensure I didn't miss anything:

1) Visit the site.

2) Click the container button or use the shortcut.

3) Click 'Manage Containers'

4) Click 'New Container'

5) Name the container, click 'Ok'

6) Open the multi-account containers panel again.

7) Click 'Always Open This Site in...'

8) Select your new container.

But wait, you're still not done!

9) Open the site again in a new tab.

10) Check the 'Remember my decision for this site' box. (Didn't I already tell it to ALWAYS open the site in that container, in step 7?)

11) Click 'Open in [your container] Container'

That's how you create a new container to always open a site in with the Multi-Account Containers extension.

You can't factorize a number in O(1) if it takes O(n) or whatever to set up the problem.

I don't see why those things have to be mutually exclusive. You can understand your database and still use an ORM.
Of some relevance here:

Transformers that are small are often on hand and easy to swap out. But some of the bigger ones have months long lead times. The facility we were at had transformers that had a 6 month lead time from Germany to replace them and they had to be sent via boat as they wouldn’t fit in planes.

The Worst CPUs Ever Made
Cellphone service has markedly improved the lives of the very poor something most economists did not predict. In fact when India deregulated rates from some of the highest in the world (voice was around $.10 to $.20/min) most economists argued against it saying cellphones were a thing of the rich and the tax-losses to the govt from telecom revenue were not worth it. Deregulation was called a give-away to the telco companies and the rich etc. Instead, what came about was the biggest uptake in cellular and data usage and one of the cheapest rates in the world.

The poor benefit disproportionately in relative terms from access to cheap communications. Studies show cellphone and data usage to be highly correlated to improved markers in health, economic well being, education, etc. Poorly designed top-down auctions bankrupts companies and causes under-investment in infrastructure do directly cause suffering to hundreds of millions of very poor people. Maybe you find it snarky to point that out but I see it as a tragedy.

True, you can also argue that the auction revenue would have helped clean water and other developmental activities but that is an indirect effect.

I played around with this previously. For playing audio the "button" can be a invisible div that takes up the entire page and interacting with it can be not only clicking but simply moving the mouse over the div.

Hey prohobo, you should consider experimenting with connector APIs on Autocode to deliver something like;

We're ostensibly an automation platform but our core technology around Connector APIs automatically generates docs for you and a whole ton of other neat things - like your API can show up in autocompletion dropdowns for Autocode users. We're a Stripe-backed company, if you haven't heard of us it's because we rebranded / relaunched on July of this year. Disclaimer; am founder. :)
At this point I wouldn't recommend anyone expose their face or true identity to the internet. There was a time idealistic people thought that removing anonymity from the internet would somehow make it more civilized, but bad actors (e.g. most people using the internet regularly, it seems) have proven the lack of anonymity just makes it easy for people to find new and inventive ways to harass and insult you. For all the non-cis non-white non-males out there, people don't even need an excuse to attack you anymore beyond your non-cis, non-white, non-maleness.

The blog author seems to grasp tentatively toward recognizing their own privilege, but fails to mention that they have 31,000 twitter followers and, having started their own business, significant adoration from the Twitter tech crowd. I can imagine Twitter seems like a great place to be when you've been elevated by the community. Everyone looks up to you, everyone thinks what you have to say is important. Life is a lot different on the internet for people who don't have that same following. I don't think trying to curate an online persona and manage a Twitter account where you reply to everyone is a valuable use of your time when you're still trying to find a way to consistently feed yourself.
Nobody is "blaming" individual consumers. They're just respecting their free agency. Most people who purchase from Amazon prefer it to brick and mortar stores and other e-commerce websites. Most people who work at Amazon fulfillment centers willingly accept higher expectations in exchange for better pay. You don't get to decide whether someone is being coerced or manipulated.

>> Imagine if there were Utube, Vtube, and Wtube, and a creator could shop around for the best placement and ad deal.

Except there is already a Utube, Vtube, and Wtube and they have been around for 50 years. They are called ABC, NBC, CBS, and there are also like 50 others.

You can "shop around" your product to them, but you have to:

1. Have to gone to the right schools to meet decision makers

2. Have the right connections

3. Not be a minority (there is literally almost no diversity in the industry amongst decision makers.)

I publish on YouTube. There is no way I could publish on ABC, NBC, CBS, Disney, or almost any other broadcast service. Even though I meet criteria 1 (ivy league degree), I dont have the connections and "dont have the look"

Before we burn down YouTube, can we step back and consider how much YouTube has enabled people? Can we also see the very obvious ulterior motive the MSM has to dislike YouTube?
I do not have to convince anyone that Google is better. It is my personal experience, others can have a different experience. But my point was that I am not using google search because Google has somehow forced me to use them, the way IRS forces me to pay them or the way US government forces me to pay social security "contribution" to them or how most bay area cities force me to use PGnE for energy and force me to put ethanol my in car. Latter are all examples of coercion where as former is all about Google doing something better than others.
