It's actually two broken cables. The second cable, before it failed, had actually been looked at, and it had been thought that it wasn't at risk of failure. So its failure meant that the structure was in more dire straits than previously thought.

When highly-stressed cables under tension fail, the resulting damage can be extremely violent. The decision is to safely dismantle the instrument platform rather than risk yet another cable failing and causing less localized damage.
Who pays.

All companies ultimately are responsive to the wants and needs of their paying customers, within the limits of legality and physics. Do not underestimate how important it is that Google’s paying customers are ad buyers, not you.

I literally said to myself 'isn't this old news?' When i read the headline.
wow, this is a major shakeup, and not just on the vc circuit. I expect to see a lot of large hedge funds and banks lose employees who can now afford to go solo.

I also expect to see a lot of poorly constructed startup deals where uncle jimmy ends up owning 65% of a startup because of some shoddy setup. Not sure if this is going to be a good thing or not given the greater access to capital that will be afforded to young companies. Interesting times abound

> But the recent hero worship is a bit awkward to read as Apple is generally following an accepted playbook in the End Times of Moore’s law.

Is anyone else doing this though? It might be the theoretical playbook, but if others aren't doing this in practice then Apple are worthy of credit for pulling it off.

1 - accelerators for specific things aren't new, and lots of processors have an H264 accelerator, but Apple seems to be pushing this a bit further than others. Even low power vs high power cores doesn't seem to be something others are doing much of. 2 - I don't know enough about. 3 - Apple has put a ton of FP units on this seemingly for JS performance, anyone else could be doing that, it's not a big spoiler to know that people run a lot of JS now, and yet the M1 has more FP units than any other consumer CPU. This knowledge about the software workloads seems to be beyond what others are working on.

It seems to be more than just the 5nm process, not least because the A14 generation is the first 5nm chip but Apple's chips have been well respected back to 7 and 10nm for similar reasons.

Caveat, very much a layman on this, but it seems like Apple are executing that playbook significantly better than others.

Nobody's banning any books. This is about the books kids are required to read in class. Would you object if your kids were mainly reading the Old Testament and Mein Kampf for class, or would you push for a more balanced curriculum? Should the parents have no say in the literature their children are taught from? This isn't a law, the focus here should be increasing the effectiveness and fairness of education.
This is truly sad news. How did it come to this? Was proper upkeep and maintenance over the years deemed too expensive? After all, everything decays over time when left alone.
There’s more 5G available in big cities. But which carrier is fastest?

How is the mobile experience for YT Music? Looking at switching, I imagine they have the desktop experience down. I love Spotify, but I can't imagine a worse experience outside of their mobile app. The web player was nice but fails to load music two-three times per listening session (to be fair, they are usually 5-8hrs), the desktop application is slow, clunky, and will regularly not play music I have downloaded.

"less power" definitely depends on what you value when comparing Git against real databases, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/984707/what-are-the-file...

There is at least one database that exists which does support a Git-like DAG for transaction-time temporality: https://terminusdb.com/

It should also be pointed out that "temporal databases" usually offer a lot more besides a linear transaction-time history. Although I've not seen anything that offers a DAG for valid-time histories yet :)

In almost every case, the original novel is better than the movie adaptation. In the case of Jurassic Park not only is the book better, it's almost a completely different story.
If this is a career move, then prioritize programs that give you the credentials for interviews. Prioritizing intellectual development changes the opportunity cost model. Or it changes the course of education...if you want something math heavy, mathematics is probably a better degree than data science. Mathematics emphasis is also a point where data science might look different from data engineering. Good luck.
Anyone notice how the article's last two paragraphs are repeated
And why would they not also be responsive to the wants and the needs of the customers who look at the ads, without which the model would not be profitable?

They had to create a service people want to use in order to be able to put ads on it.

Sad day. I worked in radio astronomy and stayed on site for a week a few years back. Amazing telescope, the scale of it has to be seen to be believed. They have had serious funding issues for some time now, so now that it needs repair, I figured they might retire it. Unfortunate for all the staff that work there, it employed quite a few people.

Perfect for a comment on Hacker News(TM)!
I loved seeing this thing when I visited PR, before the hurricane and all the rest. This makes me very sad :_(.

I wonder how they could have built it to be longer-lived/more maintainable. Did they not put enough thought into cable replacement when putting a bunch of add’l load onto it? Perhaps working without enough margin?

Also, it might not be intensely obvious from pictures, but this thing is in the middle of rainforest. Very humid. So it’s not all surprising it would degrade quickly.

Anyways, I wonder what they’ll do with that whole space. There’s a whole visitor center and school kids coming and going every day (well, maybe not this year).
Who pays for all the investigations and prosecutions? We don’t even have enough resources to stop identity theft/electronic funds theft at the federal level, FBI won’t touch anything unless it’s over $250k.

This is multigenerational national infrastructure. Imagine a volatile nerd like Musk funding Goldstone or CERN. He'll get into a pissing match with someone who knows what he is talking about damn quick (remember the Thai U-boat story) and then refuse to pay further.

Can't he give out his videos to subscribers in a torrent or something? That way you don't need any infrastructure to get it out there.
Why does one video have to answer every question and entertain every theory? (Should it also answer my question if John McClane was seen at the scene?).

It's a video showing a 3D model/timeline from publicly released videos. If I claim "my friends saw Aladdin flying on his magic carpet before the explosion" but there's no video/photo of this claim, they can't use that claim for their reconstruction. And they're not going to talk about Aladdin because that's not the point of the video.
Basically it's a way for Google to remove Ad revenue from the outlets that don't use AdSense. Pretty clever strategy, but extremely abusive. I hope Google gets a proper fine (in order of billions), it will be ordered to split into separate independent companies and will have to delete all personal data they don't have legitimate reason to have.
You can do options trading and not do margin trading - which is my preference based on my personal risk surface. Margin trading comes with a bunch of other things these days - having to post effectively a bond, keep a certain amount of cash in your money market, etc.

They are responsive. They'll push ads at them to the limit of their endurance, then back off a smidgen and call it good.
A big difference I see is how much money does Google make me "watching"/skipping ads in a month? I find it hard to believe it's around $10/month. What are rates now a days?

What happens when the place that is "not up to code" catches fire and sets every other building on the block ablaze? What happens when enough novice investors lose their money to bad investments and scams that it sparks a recession?

Besides protecting individuals, regulations protect society from negative externalities generated by these risky activities. I think there's a huge opportunity to decriminalize sex work and drug-related crimes, but we should recognize that risky behavior puts more than just the immediate individuals involved at risk.

TryInto is already implemented for slices in 1.47, so `let foo = u16::from_be_bytes(some_slice.try_into().unwrap());` would work before 1.48.

This trait wasn't implemented for vectors though, so you would have to write `let foo = u16::from_be_bytes(some_vec.to_slice().try_into().unwrap());`.

With new release you can drop `to_slice()` part. Nothing earth-shattering, but makes sense.
Sorry about that, as suggested in the comment you can delete your cookies to solve it :)
The biggest factor is thought to be core-mantle coupling.

The Earth is built in layers. The solid bit we see is called the crust. Then there is a liquid layer where heat melts rock, that's called the mantle. And then at the center of the Earth the pressure again turns things solid, that's called the core.

All of the things affecting the Earth's rotation in the long term pull on the crust. The two biggest are tides (slows us by 2.3 ms/century) and glacial rebound (estimated to speed us up by 0.7 ms/century). The result is that the crust and the core wind up turning at different rates, and interact with each other through the mantle. Which transfers angular momentum back and forth between the crust and core.

If I were a business, the answer is no, the regulations are very strict.

But I am not a business, I'm a hobbyist. I derive no income from my channel.

By my estimation you would need at least five employees in Germany to run an online business properly, as the law that governs businesses is voluminous and bureaucratic. I could not afford to run a business.

For example, if I were a business in Germany, other YouTubers could sue me simply because I didn't follow packaging or E-waste laws in one of my videos. And that is to say nothing of surprise laws that you couldn't even predict would be laws.

Also, under German law I'd need permission from my existing employer to run a business, which they would not likely give.
For me, it's the opposite - I'm very close to paying for youtube premium and not have ads anymore.
Couldn't you just use an electrically-driven turbo compressor to produce a source of hot, high-pressure gasses? Not saying the efficiency or mechanics would play out at scale, but hypothetically you should be able to generate any arbitrary source flow required to feed through this type of nozzle.

It's not the case that politics can't be discussed here. Many HN stories have political overlap. At the same time, we can't allow all political posts and we have to moderate flamewars, or HN will turn into a political site, which is against its mandate (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

I've written about this many times: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so.... These explanations have become pretty stable by now, so I think they answer the question pretty completely. Some good threads to start with might be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607844 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22902396.

If anyone has a better idea about how we should approach this, I'd love to hear it. But please make sure that you've familiarized yourself with the previous explanations first and understand the constraints we're subject to. If it's something simple like "just ban politics" or "just allow everything", I've already answered many times why that won't work.
People are more savvy these days than the old days. This can help more than it hurts.
Admitting Puerto Rico as a state, thus enabling Puerto Rico to have representation in congress who could argue for more infra being built there, would likely be critical.
I can't believe that you actually decided to be held hostage by google and pay them to remove content that they would otherwise only put in front of you if you were looking. Its like paying a restaurant not to harass you and then going to it when you could just go to the restaurant next door without the protection fee. There is also a lot of good content for toddlers IRL.
And isn't that the same story in any business? They'll raise costs to the limit of customers' endurance, or else reduce quality to compensate?

If there is a problem then the problem is Google. I don't think this can be blamed on just the ad-driven profit model.
Is it? I mean almost everyone is at least somewhat familiar with cloud services, SaaS, DBaaS etc. All of those services have established pricing models and it isn't based on X% of what your business charges.

Apple could easily charge $100 for an app to be reviewed the first time and $50 an update to cover review, and the rest is very marginal. What Apple is doing is rent seeking on other people's work, plain and simple... it isn't even based on the profit margin against that work.

Not every application is a game on a console that will see millions in sales to make up for development costs. Consoles only see dozens of games as competition, the Apple store sees thousands. It's not an Apples to Apples comparison (pun intended).
This is courtlistener.com data correct?

My kids (like most kids) spend a ton of time on YouTube. We pay for YouTube Premium to remove ads (no-brainer). How does YT compensate creators when the viewer is a Premium customer? Is it the same rate, or better than non-paid viewers?
Yes, tell me all about Richard Shelby (AL). But whatever the reason was, the money did end up in the South and it became less agricultural as a result.
I always said if you do something do your best at it. If you find yourself not doing your best, then choose not to do it. If you can't choose not to do it, that means this is essential, and so go see #1 again. Do your best.

I think of it from the same perspective of business. Instead of doing OK support do your BEST support. If you are struggling, then choose to do no support - if your customers leave because support is critical, then guess what, you will probably get more benefit from doing your best.

So I think that advice works well as a way to really minimize your engagements, and figure out which ones are essential, by not just doing them just cause, by trying to cancel them entirely otherwise.
No, this is within the framework - the buyer (say, amazon) wants to target you since you recently bought something. They could say they don't want to target you since you already bought it, but it's partly up to them. FB/Google/etc could downrank and reduce its frequency or whatever, but it will keep happening one way or the other due to variety of sellers etc in the market.

Once Docker works on ARM, I’m gonna make the switch. I was very very close to trading in my 2020 MBP and eating the loss, especially after seeing the insane WebKit compilation times and battery usage. I loathe the Touch Bar and am very excited about having a MBA that doesn’t suck.

The only concern I have is this: it is my understanding that the arm7 instruction set differs slightly from vendor. Is that true? I’m thinking of what problems I might run into with shipping apps destined for AWS Gravitron.
I agree. Additionally, regular limited liability corporations should be prohibited from serving this market. Only allow unlimited liability partnerships to do so. If you want to work outside of the usual legal protections then you have to own it.
Years in the hedge fund/CTA space left me completely convinced that the regulators were right in throwing up barriers to investing in a wider range of investments.

Outright fraud probably isn't the main risk - it's deceptive salespersonship and naivete on the part of investors about what they're entering. I don't know how we'd get a judiciary with the expertise to judge the cases.

It's not like the US makes it hard to start a laundromat with your friend, or something like that. It's about whether vulnerable people will make predictably wrong decisions about "investment opportunities".
No.

You'd have to be very blinkered about progress elsewhere to think that, notice how there are multiple apparently good covid vaccines already?
Whoops! My mistake, thanks for that! I has been looking only at the Pro out of habit, but this might push me towards the non-Pro this generation.
Agree 100% but some of the hero worship is a reaction I think to being told for a long time that 'Only Intel x86 chips are powerful enough' - which in part was put about by Intel marketing (Intel inside etc and some of the comments at the time the iPhone launched that consumers need an x86 to do real work) - and that ARM wouldn't scale up for desktops etc.

The other key point is that Apple can pick and mix from the technologies they use - they've unbundled Intel - choosing the best that they can find for their needs whether in-house or externally.

Most people also don't have the capital or time to diversify, to make a significant number of investments into individual stocks. They are better off with an index fund.
It's not a big deal. You pay a bit in interest while holding margin, but for the most part there's nothing wrong with having say 30% of your portfolio in margin while the market is rallying. Helps you get much better gains.

One of my biggest regrets about university is not taking advantage of office hours. For me it was a combination of 1) social anxiety and 2) thinking that if I really belonged in this program (physics) I should really be able to figure everything out on my own.
