So this is like Facebook releasing a statement saying "It's time we were all nicer to each other" right? That genocide we were helping? You guys should figure that out. Hey guys, you know how you run a successful business clearing trades, and we just had to dilute our share in our company 50% because we fucked up our collateral calcuations?

Well, we've got an idea. You redesign your entire business so that we don't need collateral, and that way, we no longer have our problem.

Also, does anyone find this stupid "we have the best financial system in the world" bullshit a little insulting? It's just jingoistic PR chest beating. Pro-tip: Whenever you're in trouble, talk about how great America is.

I'm waiting for Elizabeth Holmes to release a statement about how the CDC should instruct all humans to encode the disease they have into their blood, because then Theranos would be a home run.

I guess what I'm saying is: If you're running a business, do your job.
A pair of headphones and all the waste generated by the supply lines needed to generate a continuous renewal of pairs of headphones
I much prefer this than some cash reward.
There is no free lunch for youtube either. Customers being less satisfied and whining about it on the internet is the cost of increasing the number of advertisements. If it wasn't, google would just put infinite adverts.
The Android-based BlackBerry phones (including my Key2) all support WhatsApp.
In retrospect the idea of selling everything online was the first great idea. Even if it was a bit of rehash of Sears I think they were the only one that had that vision.

Second great idea was free 2 day shipping with Prime. Great for their cash flow and customer retention.

Third great idea was AWS.

Still TBD are advertising and the marketplace. They make a lot of money but at the long term risk of customer satisfaction.

Also TBD are the media plays (Twitch, video,music,.etc.). Not clear if they will ever make money.
Props to you for sticking to your principles. For what it is worth, I only started using it after the increase in ads.
But that would be an asset, not an expense.
It depreciates over time and your accounting department must track it somehow in the books.

Ok, maybe you could sign a leasing for the mini; and still be cheaper than AMZ but... your company would need some credit scoring and your finance department should talk with someone...

But for $26/day it gets buried for free in a bill that needs a cloud architect to decipher.
I didn’t mind BlackBerry keyboards (for a while in the early 2010s I had a prepaid blackberry and matching Playbook).

But the Sony Ericsson M600i is still my favourite phone keyboard. A modern device using that dual-key rocker QWERTY would be amazing IMHO.
I only know Canada where one owes taxes when an event occurs. Being issued stock is not an event. Exercising options for stock is an event.

IANAL nor an accountant and this is not financial advice.
>However, because of interest, those same wealthy people have an even bigger advantage. They take out mortgages, and after a while they can take out loans on said mortgages to acquire even more assets. It's genius really (in a very evil way).

A mortgage is a liability, not an asset. You can't take out a loan against a liability. Nothing you're writing here really makes any sense to me, despite the benefit of the doubt.
That's not how the immune system works though; you aren't "throwing away" the currently administered doses if you wait until after immunity declines to give the booster dose.

Unless this virus is magically different from every other virus we create a vaccine for, waiting longer for the booster will create a better / longer-lasting immunity afterwards.
Sadly Gobo has few users, so it doesn't enjoy as much support as other mainstream distributions.

You may want to consider NixOS, which is equivalent to Gobo except for the fact that linking across packages is static instead of dynamic. This has very deep consequences.

Nix has tons of developers, it's one of the most active projects on Github. Past the initial difficulties, most common usecases are really easy.
They were simple back in the days before Apple thought of brilliant ideas like glueing the battery to the laptop topcase. The old iPod is like a crude raspberry PI casemod in comparison, workable for anyone with nimble hands and good eyes.
"The top "Censored" news stories are identified through the Campus Affiliates Program, a collaborative effort between faculty and students at many colleges and universities."

Since college faculty often skews 10:1 or better democrat, I don't find that too surprising.

I have a playbook - there is so much to like about it, in particular that it runs QNX and with a terminal emulator (I'd have to look up the name) you have a very cool terminal based tablet, even including it's own elVIs VI editor and python 3.5.

The problem for me though is networking. I fired it up a couple of years ago and found that very few urls will work with either the browser or with curl/wget/urllib which I am more interested in. I couldn't find any information about this, so I don't know if it was a https or certificate issue somehow, or if something in mine is broken. If you saw anything similar, it would be great to know if/how you resolved it.
Jeff was an early investor in Airbnb and Uber, too. And I am sure many more companies as LP via other VC firms.
Amazon invented cloud computing the way Ford invented the automobile.
There's an open source emulator for the WD16-based Alpha Microsystems: http://www.kicksfortso.com/Am100/

Not for 68K-based though. Alpha Micro appears concerned that allowing an emulator for that might harm their business: http://kicksfortso.com/am100pdf/alex.pdf

That was almost 20 years ago now, I don't know how much of their business actually survives. They have a website live still, but it seems quite non-functional: http://www.alphamicro.com/

It appears AlphaMicro have their own commercial/proprietary emulator for their 68K systems: http://www.alphamicro.com/ampm/8kfaq.htm
Beside being long yet void of any convincing arguments/ideas, this article completely ignores the fact that the majority of Covid vaccines are not mRNA vaccines, thus invalidating the premise that "we don't have enough vaccines because mRNA vaccines are hard to produce".

A more appropriate title would be "let me show off what I know about mRNA vaccines".
I'm open to the possibility that the mind could be a sophisticated communication channel. I recall reading about mothers feeling the distress of their child when they weren't physically near them. A woman I know had a similar experience.

The idea of the mind as a sort of antenna wouldn't be controversial to me.
The way to make them more reliable is not to put human passengers while increasing the iteration rate and manufacturing speed.

The two ways I heard to get really reliable products is to get good at manufacturing them reliably at scale or be really slow and really careful in making them one at a time.
It might be 'jarring' but looking over the original line I didn't parse what those types were doing at all, and T/U/V wouldn't be any better, while IN/OUT I can understand without explicitly thinking about it.
At T+01:11 with 3 engines still lit (https://youtu.be/_zZ7fIkpBgs?t=397). Not the apogee one at T+04:34.
I'm very concerned for e.g. YouTube and the vast amount of content already on there, since they will most likely apply the more aggressive filtering worldwide - maybe solutions like Peertube instances that are clearly labeled "not for EU citizens" will become a thing if it really pans out the way it looks to be at the moment.
Show HN: Scena360.com – Host more natural and private meetups on the web
Not sure if this is a baseless, lazy ad-hominem attack or
someone accidentally posted an Onion article as serious
statement.

tl;dr: The Reddit investors are irrational people who have no
idea that GameStop isn't worth that much and are conspiracy
theorists comparable to the QAnon people who stormed the Capitol
trying to overthrow the carefully managed order preserved by the
educated investors that act on facts and logic.
My pet theory is that both Google and Facebook need to create training set data for their proprietary AI content moderation algos.

The content moderation algorithm is optimizing for three variables simultaneously - maximum number of videos hosted, maximum number of views, minimum number of lawsuits/negative press articles written/anti-Big Tech tweets.

The algorithm can't know if its truly maximizing the first two without letting the last one trigger every so often.

We are just witnessing/participating in the live dataset they are testing on.
It is unbelievably fast getting things done on my BlackBerry Key2 - I can bang off a message or reply to something way faster than on an iPhone or other Android phone. I can touch-type, there are tons of key-based shortcuts, the combined email/messaging/notifications app is the best there is, and yet it's also a touch-screen Android phone.
What does that even mean? If you watch YouTube, you're just encouraging them.
I don't differentiate by type of device. I just detect aspect ratio:

@media (min-aspect-ratio: 1/1) /* wide */

@media (max-aspect-ratio: 1/1) /* tall */

@media (aspect-ratio: 1/1) /* square */
if you open up moderation then you'll get Tyranny of the Majority[1]. But in the internet age it would actually be tyranny-of-the-people-with-a-chip-on-their-shoulder-and-time-to-burn.

Hey HN!

Danilo, Anshuman and Daekun here, co-founders of Scena 360 and Software Engineering students at the University of Waterloo. Scena 360 lets you host more natural and private meetups in shared 3D spaces. In Scena 360, you can turn towards the person that you're talking to and have separate conversations around campfires without having to break into awkwardly-moderated breakout rooms.

Having completed several remote internships and study terms online, we realized how much 2D calls suck, as do most users that we have spoken to. We personally felt anxious keeping our webcams turned on and staring at blank screens, joining "virtual work parties" and "virtual conferences" without being able to casually talk to people. On top of that, we got fed up with malicious video conferencing software.

Imagine that you're in a workshop: Seeing the speaker give a presentation at the front of the room, while you're having a side-discussion with the person next to you about an issue. Turning to the mentor walking by to ask a question. Walking over to another group to strike a chat with them. Talking to a person with their video turned on or a customizable avatar (similar to Bitmoji or Memoji) instead of a blank, muted rectangle. Knowing that your talks are protected with end-to-end encryption. These experiences are made possible with Scena 360.

On top of the above, we plan on expanding the room capacity to handle much more than 10 people/room, potentially hundreds of people per room.

Scena 360 is built using A-Frame, ReactJS & WebRTC. We'd be happy to answer any questions about our tech or product (example: how we keep conversations private).

We would love to hear your feedback. What do you dislike about 2D video conferencing?

Taiwan Defense: A Hard Problem for the U.S.
Theranos collapsed without any shorting involved. Isn't this a counterpoint to the argument that shorting is required for "price discovery" and the unmasking of fraud?
It's not clear what else it is that you'd want. The MIT license seems to get used because it's short and to the point in stating priorities: Here's the software, do what you want with it, but don't take credit and don't come after us if it doesn't work for your use case or if it causes your CPU to explode. If your issue is with the "legalese," it wouldn't be any less meaningful if you stated it differently.
A frequency graph doesn't describe headphones that well because there's many other objective variables. I think impedance, sound isolation and THD are more important since you can't calibrate those out even if you wanted to.

Even a good objective review like rtings is just another review, since headphone performance depends on your player, the shape of your head and ears, and the noise level of your environment. It's probably best to read multiple reviews and take them all as samples.

You're going to have to elaborate more, because Islam definitely allows people to have their voices heard. Furthermore, it not only allows people of different faiths to live on its lands, their rights are heavily protected by the law:

Cavrnus, Inc | Full-stack and front-end engineers | Full Time | Remote (Team is located in San Diego and Los Angeles) | https://cavrn.us

Cavrn.us is building a platform and application to enable enterprise XR spatial collaboration for training, engineering, operations, planning, and selling. We ship an application written in Unity for a variety of desktop, mobile, and XR platforms, as well as a web app with a simpler 2d usability.

We're looking to expand our server and services development to support new feature development, improve and maintain operations and improve security.

We are also looking for a front-end engineer to improve the usability of our platform, and then update our applications to express our full platform in the browser.

We currently are using the MEVN stack but with mostly Typescript. Our Unity clients and tools use primarily C#, but also C++, Java, and Swift for native integrations.

We are a small team but growing, and recently raised our series A. Our product is in use at a dozen large companies with more on the horizon. We are productive and friendly. If you have experience in either or both of these roles and are interested, please contact me at nick@cavrn.us.
That’s still true for the most part.
Config files! And Gurupa, right?
I personally don't expect to retire by living off my investments, because asset prices have blown up so much due to low interest rates. Basically it's a possibility that future returns have been pulled forward, and markets can go nowhere for long periods while having low dividends

That being said, in the near term some are bullish that this uptrend process isn't done yet. It'll just be too late for me to amass enough to benefit from that and retire.

I'm an experienced (6+ years) software developer with a background in embedded firmware design and verification. Along with embedded C++, I've built out extensive automation and tooling projects with python.
Appreciate hearing that! We make decisions based on founder feedback, so I imagine there are other SUS founders who feel the same :)
That's a good question actually, given that they had another engine as well. Or maybe light up all three and then shut down the one they decide not to use.

But these are all in the 'why don't they' category, SpaceX has some pretty clever cookies, experts in their field, the chances that anything we can think of has not been thought of by them are nil.
A concrete example of this is setState in React.

T | null signifies that it can be cleared by using setState({prop: null}).

T | undefined means that it may start out undefined, but if it becomes defined it'll probably stay that way. If you try doing setState({prop: undefined}), it won't work.
Swift is a communication protocol to move digital cash. Once the wire goes through, the next bank has the cash and the last bank doesn't. That solves the clearing problem (for currencies). Yes, the process is sticky as every bank likes to hold the money as long as possible, but ownership is clear and fast.

The clearing problem for OP is with stocks and deal with purchasing and selling from different owners using a regulatory intermediary (DTCC). Getting all those parts coordinated is more challenging.
I interviewed for a position there a couple of years ago.

Their pay wasn't close to competitive with my other 2 offers.

They seemed like an interesting place to work, although I believe they laid off a bunch of people shortly thereafter.
Hmm, really good point, but I still stand by my thinking. I think the expectations should be higher for an organization that is empowered by the state to do violence than for a gathering of citizens. There shouldn't be any expectation that bad actors are just a part of law enforcement in the way that there should be when there is just a group of thousands of people.

And moreover I think that police killings are kind of the top line item because that is punchy, but most activists would say their problem is with the entrenched structures that allow police to behave badly with impunity. It's impossible to sue an officer as an individual for even the most egregious offenses, police unions have fought really hard to protect bad officers and policy, even when people do "win" legal action against the police the bill is footed by the taxpayers, and in general the thousands of bad interactions people have and film that never even get attention. I'm biased, but I think that the system of policing in the country is more corrupted by bad actors than the protests were.

In this case the duck is a low-quality comment without further exposition.
> His weekly ops meetings have been imitated by other orgs, terribly, because they don't understand the point

couldn't agree more. Almost every day of the week now with AWS, org, service, and team level ops meetings, and most of them miss the forest for the trees
Let's put it like this. The year after I exercised my one and only set of amzn stock options, I owed US$43k in taxes based on their nominal value. The stock was not publically traded at the time, and I had to find savings to cover the tax bill. I retained the piece of paper and started selling later that year after the IPO. At least one other early hire at amzn owed a lot more than this.
Also christians/religious and people that don't speak in correct PC terms all the time tend to come from poorer backgrounds, so "diversity" ends up discriminating against the poorest of society. For historical reasons these are often the most diverse.
Oh, that makes sense, I'll keep that in mind next time, thanks.
What else seems like a promising field that one could go 100% into right now to bet on?

Biotech/bioinformatics/bioengineering.
GCP doesn't need to beat AWS. It doesn't even need to increase market share, really: the cloud market as a whole is growing rapidly, and more money is more money, regardless of bragging rights. It just needs to get to profitability.

There's also a strategic aspect of clipping the wings of AWS by providing a BATNA in the big deal negotiations. With Amazon significantly cutting into Google's advertising market share, it needs another front to put pressure on its strongest competitor. If Google can prevent $10B in Amazon profits by burning $5B of its own money, that's arguably a win.
Google Cloud also hosted all their profitable infrastructure, so fun accounting lets them pay zero taxes.

Just like how every billion dollar blockbuster movie is a loser on paper.
Well, maybe he is right, he might not be aware of Bell Labs or he might have forgot about it before typing that email
> And, shockingly, getting "diverse" undergrads can be achieved... by investing in whatever "diverse" community you want to grow.

If only it were so simple. The world's best intelligence scientists and education researchers have spent the past three generations confirming and reconfirming the persistent gap in intelligence between different races.

The gap persists even as average IQ skews upward over time.

The "woke" viewpoint, and the friendly-seeming, easy-to-agree-with framing is that every difference in outcome is explained by oppression--full stop.

That this completely contradicts what we'd expect based on 60 years of hard data and irrefutable evidence is of no concern--as the arbiters of what is culturally acceptable, it is now verboten in most venues to even acknowledge the obvious race-based intelligence gaps. See: Charles Murray, a truly gifted scholar, being pilloried and cast away as though he were a holocaust denier.
It's nice that there's ways to make this friendlier for creators, but wouldn't most bigger services rather block and build a cheap system in-house than rely on a SaaS/b2b product, if you don't give it away for free or price very competitively? Are they actually open to implement better systems? Hope it's alright to ask this, it's obviously a very important thing that will be coming up for all of us in the future.

Good luck with your work!
Hi Paul, I :heart: JACK and spend lots with Amazon, cheers.

I wonder if you have an opinion on this bit of gossip: Is there any relationship between Jeff's departure and this FTC Tips scandal? https://komonews.com/news/local/amazon-took-away-62-million-...
The only evidence I see is relating to their very similar timing of publication.
The brain is a brain. All natural brains have stuff attached. If you want to attach stuff to your AI, go wild.

The day before the NASA-crewed SpaceX rocket launch, Starship SN4 blew up on the pad in a massive explosion in south Texas.

I noticed the news barely covered it, and I thought at the time it might be to avoid casting doubt on the human-crewed launch.

OK, so now this hinges on the idea that such stores had an online e-commerce-y presence before amzn. Again, I'm not ruling it out, but I don't remember us having any real models for this.

Amazon's customer review system was created as a barrier to entry for competitors, as much as anything else.
Do you plan to offer wide access to peertube instances once your product is GA, or will it be up to maintainers to pay for and integrate the platform into their upload pipeline? Your system sounds like it would immediately solve the problem of compliance with this law for the PT instances that are afraid that they might be required to block access from the EU.
