I don't recall the source of this paraphrased quote:

"You ascribe the hack to a nation-state. So, you believe that the hack was so cunning, so devious, and so elegantly written and deployed that the perpetrators must be civil servants?"
Birds had too different evolution, they have roughly equal hard skills, which isn't true for humans. For humans sperm and eggs are entertainment and are quite high on Maslow pyramid, but the lower levels are solved only by men, and women have only eggs to offer in exchange (also developed plumage), and that's how they adapted, for them sex isn't entertainment, but survival, i.e. they are evolutionarily programmed for prostitution. And sex workers do enjoy sex, like everyone. You better make attractiveness of sex work your point.

I guess anyone who is really curious could try to replicate what they did. The investigators clearly don't know Russian very well because they misspell common names ("Arur", really?). So anyone reading this comment should be able to find and use a Telegram bot just like the authors to get some phone records. Otherwise I call BS.

> I tend to agree. However, there are some very, very large clients out there who have the resources…

As far as my business experience goes, I would say this is what can make such a system: your sales force. Have a very good sales team that lands a couple of large key clients early.

Yes, it is still the case after +30 years old web and a +10 years old iPhone: the buying decisions include a myriad of reasons, many of them non-technological. A good sales expert can slash through that.

So, yeah, courageous and good management can make it. Specially in a case like this, were it is not necessary to make a paradigm shift in innovation happen. Here we have a player who just needs to box himself onto the table and keep dancing.
It’s funny how economists never talk about this (women in the workforce). Its adding 50% more people to the workforce. Yes, it’s less because women might work less or part time, buts it’s an insanely high number in terms of market effects.

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the reasons you simply can’t survive on one person per household working, as in the 60s and 70s, is simply that two people are willing to work now and spend all their free cash on mortgage payments.

No one talks about this. I’d love to hear the debates. I’d love to be proved wrong.
Worked at a company almost 2 years, exercised my stock options (only $2k, it was my 2nd junior position and I didn't negotiate for equity at all). 4 years later I have no idea how much they're worth, if they even still exist, or if there's been any liquidity event.

If I had to guess based on the company's revenue, they're probably worth about 4x what they were when I exercised, but I'm planning on holding off on trying to do anything with them unless I see the company in the news for a big liquidity event in the future.
I kind of see Nikon and Canon as frenemies, together in the tranches trying to survive in an hostile world.

A bit like how Vim and Emacs’ future is not bound to how they do against each other. It would more about securing a place in their user’s life in the first place.
ADHD here as well. Best thing I've found is when facing tasks of little or no interest, think about the projects/tasks that excite you/you prefer that are on your list, and think of how you'll get to those the sooner you finish the boring stuff.

Also, in terms of focusing, what's helped me is to find a single, non-lyrical, instrumental, ambient track, and just put it on loop for the whole work day. It's been easier to think/less distracting to not hear and process language or have to find the next track that I'm in the mood for, and I believe in some way it helps my mind stay focused on my thought processes related to my work through patterns the mind makes with the looping of the track.

The courts can only act where there is law. It's a legal system, not an inherent fairness system -- current law upholds the status quo, which is why this measure passing is good news.
“ And that’s without taking into account the fact that we delete vast swathes of content all the time.”

My friend was musing about growing up in the 80s and 90s, and the artifacts and recordings of that era. He lamented that so much of the 80s and 90s was ephemeral, not saved in a cloud, or large hard disk, etc. Maybe a Zip disk, or a print out but largely unsaved. Imagine the first emails, correspondence on BBS’s, and other closed gardens, all of that is likely gone. Whereas since about 2001/2002 much, much more is getting saved, and growing by the second. It’s created for him this gap of information and reference creating a longing for that time period.
Joined a company 2.5 years pre-IPO, and made about ~200k pre-tax (but I waited until after the IPO to exercise as I didn't want the risk) at lock-up, with another ~400k still vesting.

Worked at another company that supposedly on the IPO track. Didn't buy my shares, and they ended up being acquired in a fire sale and gave 1 penny per share to those that did exercise. Company had gone through three rounds of layoffs ("normal trimming down before you IPO" lol), and I still had friends that exercised their shares.

For me, I'm willing to take the tax hit by waiting to exercise since I've seen so many companies fail.
When we had our first child, we carefully selected a pediatrician that was covered by our insurance. It turns out that doctor was only billable to our insurance for delivery, any follow up visits were not covered by the insurer because that same doctor was not considered part of that hospital org. The org she did routine pediatric work was somehow different, yet in the same building. We discovered this as we were leaving the hospital and scheduling a follow up visit. It was very urgent since we had a moderate complication and need a doctor immediately. However our insurer (employer provided) was blacklisted by the doctors group that all doctors in our neighborhood were a part of. Ultimately, on short notice we found a new pediatrician an hour away which began ordering lab work. This is not something you want to go through with a newborn and a new mother. It was also bullshit, because we were hit with a surprise caveat to our researched doctor so late in the process even though we had been trying to do our due diligence to get things squared away months in advance.

This was all because our insurer decided that our doctor was billed by different rules depending on what part of the job she was doing for the same patient. I've been an ardent supporter of single payer ever since.
Yeah this is sort of true on it's face, but doesn't really change anything. Of course if a virus is widely spread it's more likely to have vaccine escaping variants out there. If you vaccinate that population those vaccine escaping variants become dominant. Obviously this is less likely in a population with less cases. But you have to vaccinate that high case population eventually and the sooner you do it the better. No sense giving the virus more time to mutate.
I take it as a huge compliment :)

Occam’s razor to you means that rather than the freely available and reproducible records they’ve found online and detailed how to recreate, there’s some NATO plot where intelligence agencies are laundering their intel through a blog with a small following?
- they're specifically picking a prior made of only the skeptical predictions of famous people about some technology that turned out to be wrong.

- they aren't updating the prior with new information, they're just pointing it out as sufficient on its own

Using the two points above anyone can make a bad argument about anything - just pick the data points that fit your narrative, state that narrative as a conclusion and don't update it when presented with other facts.
> The deal between the government and private colleges is that those private colleges are training our critical workforce and adding net value back into the system by increasing lifetime earnings and economic growth.

Source? As far as I can tell, some genius politicians figured out they can lower taxes or keep taxes low by removing and reducing taxpayer funding for colleges, and replacing it with free non dischargeable loans for anyone who can fill out the FAFSA.

There is no altruism in saddling kids with debt rather than paying for schooling with tax money.
I think CNN is just assuming their readers aren't going to ask questions like yours.
Agreed, but how to avoid such a mob? The only way would be to be silent about this subject and not share it.
I can see your point, but all Apple is doing here is telling users that Facebook wants to track them, and letting them opt-in or opt-out.

If someone is in favor of being tracked, they can allow it.

Facebook's objection is to letting people know about the tracking, and giving them an easier way to avoid it if they so choose.
When implementing a JIT I would hope for a much higher speed up than 15%. In comparison: LuaJIT with the JIT switched on runs about five times faster than the most recent PUC Lua interpreter, see http://software.rochus-keller.ch/are-we-fast-yet_lua_results.... Compared to that 15% is nothing.

Now that is perspective I’d like to hear more about, considering how much my peers whine about how things would’ve been better if they moved to the bay area long ago and it’s all crappy nowadays. That’s not nearly as much change as I would’ve expected in inflation-adjusted dollars. I do wonder how typical your case is though. I would love to hear more data points from others in similar situations.

With all the old rent controlled apartment in San Francisco, it certainly feels like people who moved here a decade or two ago are locked into to paying basically nothing by modern standards. I personally know a couple people who still live with their exes because their rent-controlled apartment is too good a deal to give up.
Your comment made me realize that most unit notation I'm familiar with has the unit as a suffix, with currency being the only standout that comes to mind.
It's has always amazed me that 99% of jobs are for 5 days per week.

As someone who has tried to "build something on the side" for years, I've always wanted a job which was contracted for 4 days per week so I could dedicate some time to my side projects, whilst getting some stable income.

Hence why I've built https://www.28hrworkweek.com/

Do others feel this way or is it just me?...
Nothing is a good performance metric apart from profiling. Preferably with runtime conditions (CPU load, memory bandwidth, etc.) closely mirroring production setting(s).

It's very easy to forget things like memory bandwidth, inter-core/CPU links, etc. are all limited resources. And that on real systems resources are shared.
Instead, we have people like @marcorubio, who downplayed the virus, jumping to the head of the line.
This is correct, and part of "the design of Rust make it slow". The use of LLVM is part of the design, and how use it is too.

Is like the people on the C-like languages (with the exception of Go) can't resits the temptation of make languages slow to use (yet, spend absurd amount of time on produce good binaries).

Is not that I not grateful of how good Rust/LLVM compiled binaries perform, in fact, is one of the big reasons I use Rust! but is kind of weird(?)/funny(?) that the languages itself are so slow.

I think is cultural. People on that side of the fence are so used to use sub-optimal tooling that don't mind too much to use another tool on the same feels. And if it provide "10%" increase on performance, get so happy, because is against the old, not agains the best.
If you aren't interested in the history, perhaps you should be replacing the state instead of adding to it? Without looking at the code, it seems like an easy fix.

I'd say the real hype cycle for FDM was in 2013-2015, as evidenced by the SSYS stock price [1] (many other 3D printing companies have similar curves).

I think we're now on the tail end of the hype cycle graph and people are starting to find real uses for FDM

I believe it's considered "fuzzy logic" because there is a range that is constantly being imprecisely evaluated and acted upon, eventually arriving at the desired goal.

For example, the weight sensor can deduce that water is evaporating from the bowl of rice (because the weight is gradually lifting), but it doesn't exactly know how much weight is rice and how much of it is water until near the end.
> The limitations of what can be done without the iOS/Android APIs are too high to make the app useful, as can be seen in the official documentation: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-documentation/blob/ma...

This is the core reason I'm so against these duopolies. I have a startup idea that I want to implement. I've done it on windows, and it's flawless. Should work on macOS too. But these mobile OS's don't provide the right API's to do it. Android offers access to do it in a half assed way, and the way to do it right is to do it the correct way, flawlessly. So I'm stuck in a limbo, I want to be the first and last to market, prepared for when these companies break up, the OS offers access to some API's I want, and capture the market. There may be little network effects to the idea. But it's going to be a big market for everyone, with plenty of competition if idiots offer the right API's. [edited it gave away a bit too revealing info]. Enough that I don't ever connect my development machine to the internet to make sure no source code ever leaves.

My test users have asked me when will I offer a mobile app? The app needs mobile integration to make it work the way the idea was supposed to be. All OS's that the user uses, together.

And, I have no response to their questions and the mails end up collecting dust.

These fuckers ruin innovation for everyone and it makes me mad.

If these companies don't get broken up with a competitive mobile OS landscape again, don't get mad when I jump ship and go with some OS Huawei makes if it offers the right way and gains adoption.

If America wants competitiveness, innovation and a technological lead, it has work to do at home: Trust busting needs to happen fast.
Another big difference in modern startups that wasn't mentioned in the article: It now takes more employees than ever before to get a startup company off the ground.

It's basic math: You can give more equity to early employees when you have fewer of them.

We have more services, frameworks, and technologies available to quickly build companies than ever before. Ironically, it somehow takes more engineers than ever to ship most products. The surface area and expectations for a modern product have grown substantially. Gone are the days when a couple of people would throw together a quick and ugly Rails application and then start trying to sell it to customers.

I wish we'd see more startups bucking the trend of doing complicated React websites with complex backends that look like someone was trying to use as many AWS product offerings as possible. Unfortunately, it's increasingly difficult to convince engineers to focus on the easy, simple problems. Everyone wants things to be as complex as possible so they can pad their resumes for the next job, whether or not the product calls for it.

Another factor is that interest rates are incredibly low right now. The cost of capital is so low that startup founders will often take excessive amounts of investment to grow faster and pad their runways. When it comes time for acquisition talks, the founders negotiate million-dollar "retention bonuses" with the acquiring company if their shares are worthless due excessive dilution and liquidation preferences. Works out well for founders, while employees get nothing.
Application Level Encryption for Software Architects: ALE vs. TLS vs. TDE
I have a Sony RX-100 (Mark-IV specifically). Also with a 1" sensor but in a compact body. Even without flexible lenses, I agree with all your points. I make sure to bring it on trips where I expect to be taking lots of pictures. The cellphone is great in the sense that I always have it on me, and the best camera is always the one you have. But the comparative quality is not even close.

But, I mean, it better not be considering both were about the same price!
I have wondered for a long time why can't we have a Kickstarter / some crowdfunding started to port Linux to ARM phones. We spend so much money on phones, if we donate $1 a month for a few months and fund a few top class open source developers to do this full time whilst giving them market rate salary we can dramatically change the mobile ecosystem.

If a trusted name in HN Community or the tech world starts this many would contribute and it would have network effect.

Once we have Linux on mobiles, many startups would form around this ecosystem. Which would -
localize jobs
redistribute wealth so that Apple & Google don't get to hoard it.
stop planned obsolescence which is rampant these days.
create a market for open source hardware / cruelty free hardware.
To get a bit nuanced I read, that the subsidy is not the primary problem.

It is the guarantee of payment, even on default by the student is the problem.

That is what must go away.
just to a add a raw account of my experience for what it's worth:

I joined a startup as employee #1 and though I opted to have slightly more salary than shares I ended up with 3.2% of the shares.

I was with the startup long enough to fully vest and left with actual shares rather than share options (a product of me joining when the startup was just founded and had no share option scheme).

After I left at I believe the 3rd or 4th VC funding round an offer was made to buy my shares by a VC who wanted more ordinary stock to convert into a new series B non-dilution higher priority share class. All of the VC shares were of course non-dilutable.

I accepted the offer (I didn't have faith the company would IPO and felt the most likely exit - an acquihire - would come when I was far more diluted at far lower value) and after a very poorly communicated and drawn out process ("we'll pay you next week" for 4 months) I finally received payment valuing the company at around $35M at a diluted share holding of 1.3% netting roughly $500k gross.

Throughout I was assured that I would only have to pay a capital gains tax (I'm in the UK) and additionally received faulty independent advice that confirmed that this was the case, however 1 day before payment I was told that I'd have to pay roughly half at income tax and the other half via capital gains (the latter tops out at 20% in the UK so this was a huge difference and cost me $55k+).

This was done by the startup withholding the income tax and paying it directly on my behalf via the UK's Pay As You Earn (PAYE) scheme while leaving me to pay the capital gains later.

In the end I had to pay roughly 1/3 of the payout in tax netting me ~$350k.

I was paid out 7 years after I joined the company.

Overall I feel the dilution _was_ offset by the increase in value of the company, and the % I received was fair as to my contributions, but the tax arrangements were handled very poorly indeed and gave no room for a more efficient arrangement.

Given that I felt the shares were no more than lottery ticket toilet paper + suspected I'd get cheated in some way even if there was a payout the outcome was really really good and unexpected, and have in fact changed my life (I can now buy a house after years of misspending!)

But I definitely don't think the economics work out too well. I was paid probably half of the proper wage throughout and put up with a lot before vesting, having stayed there for 5 yrs that works out to $100k extra a year on top of the smaller salary (started at $50k roughly) - a FAANG or such would probably have paid the same by the end.

However at the time I joined I worked in a very unmarketable (and soul destroying) role and the position helped me change my career direction, gave me a lot of good experience and ended up paying out anyway.

I'd not work at a startup again (not only for salary vs. equity concerns) but I don't regret having worked at one.

Something of a stream of consciousness but perhaps it provides some kind of raw data to add to the pile!
A western based organization going after enemies of NATO, and Russia specifically could just as easily be explained as "Those are who they perceive to be the issue, so that is why they target them".
> they need to pay for them by funding schools

I want a populace educated in those fields, and there are much betters way to do it than robbing the citizenry. One way might be to agree to work for a company afterwards who might pay for it, another to join the army in exchange for paying for it. Another might be to stop ensuring loans so that prices fall and become attainable to someone working part-time and going to school. Loans become not such a burden then, if you even want them. Lots of ways.
