That's from a business perspective. I'm talking about from an investing/speculating aspect of them. One of the reasons why SPACs have become so popular among retail investors is because of hype on social media around them.
Although the author may be wrong about whether the 10-Ks he saw were the same ones being submitted to the government, I think his curiosity is still worth indulging.

Why did Netflix slowly stop designing their 10-K reports that lived on their own investor relation page?

My own guess is that there was some downward pressure to just produce the basic report, since that's all the government would see and investors wouldn't really value the design.
Sound like it was fun, and now it's boring, was it worth it?
"Names are seldom meant to be taken literally but the fact that people are comparing this to a literal Nintendo Entertainment System seems to me that at least the name here is good enough in conjuring peoples expectations otherwise it wouldn't be possible to make that literal comparison in the first place."

People are only making the comparison because it's in the name. They're making the comparison and finding it turns out far short of their expectations. If it wasn't called NES.css, people wouldn't bothering comparing it to the NES, and they certainly wouldn't complain that it doesn't look like NES because the name wouldn't have implied it. So it's a bad name.
Its a canary of sorts; Netflix sold out.
I don't understand your exact point, but the GNU C library ships with the strverscmp() and versionsort() functions, which do the same thing as `ls -v`.
Adobe used to do these designy annual reports as well [1], and it looks like they stopped in 2003. I wonder if something in that era encouraged them to knock it off.

Edit: for Adobe, it may have coincided with significantly cutting back their Marketing/Communications department, which had a huge staff of really great artists in the 90's. I believe this became viewed as an extravagance to have a stable of really talented and creative artists and designers on staff when you can hire this stuff out and get "reasonable" results.

Annual Report:

A corporation's annual report is usually a colored, professionally presented, and marketable document intended for an audience of shareholders.

10-K:

The 10-K report is submitted to the SEC in a generic format, with no pictures or charts. The SEC has very strict guidelines on what information must be included and how it must be organized.

Edit: I'm glad to see this is the #1 post on HN (at the time of this writing) even though the author, like many individual and some institutional investors, innocently do not know the difference between a company's PR-like annual report and an SEC-audited 10-K form. Hopefully the upvotes will draw attention to this common misconception which is also discussed by the SEC:

You look at the management team and see if they have potential. For example, a SPAC with a "google executive" would be more desirable over some no-name person. Same for the type of companies they're targeting. An industry like electric vehicle would be superior over a spac targeting ed tech for example.

An IPO pop is considered favorable versus the converse. You don't sell the whole company, so you still make money on the non-offered shares and you get an optically desirable price bump that can contribute to further positivity about the stock.

Affirm priced around $12B (but now trades over $25B), yet they only raised about 10% of that. So yeah they left some money on the table but who's to say the stock would have generated such a pop if the IPO had priced higher?

There's a lot of virtue in being long-term greedy, and sometimes that means leaving money on the table.
Personally my project never was the type to require such vigilance - 'content moderation' consisted of sshing into the server and deleting any objectionable posts directly. The factor you have to consider is shareability - the links are private, but if they are shared enough they might put your site under scrutiny. Never mattered for me, if anything I would just take my project offline and reset it. A while back there was a fruitful discussion about this topic for a new link-sharing service, and could give you some pointers:

> shorting is not valuable to society.

Why is shorting any less valuable than investing in a stock? You can speculate it will go up or down. Both are bets, both have incentives to manipulate the stock price, and without both you remove a downward pressure that stops stocks from skyrocketing like in 1929 (where a short is what crashed everything).

I think the stock market would be much less healthy without shorting than with it.

What, exactly, is unintelligible about a "detachable USB gender-changer dongle"? A gender-changing adapter is one that has either a male connector at both ends or a female connector at both ends. They're used in damned near anything involving plugs and cables - or hoses, for that matter. It's not a mystery marketing term or anything. In this case, it would be female at both ends, providing a degree of physical security when not in place (as both the USB device to be plugged in and the dongle-less computer would have male connectors), and, as described, would also act as a security dongle when attached (the USB port needs to see the dongle and have it password-activated in order to use the USB port, so a simple passthru gender-changer won't give access).

There's another level of WTF in that paragraph. "NVIDIA Jetson" is a marketing name used for a series of Tegra development boards. Tegra is an ARM SoC in and of itself. It isn't a discrete graphics solution.
For a while players did grief others in Death Standing. They would get vehicles stuck in particular spots and when those vehicles showed up in other players worlds, they blocked them from important areas and couldn't be removed. Eventually a feature was added to remove any vehicle with the push it a button, but it shows that giving any leeway whatsoever will be abused.
In my experience fzf actually feels faster simply because it’s able to begin populating the output list before it finishes reading the input list. This means you get selection options immediately, whereas with fzy there can be a delay. This is particularly noticeable when working with large inputs (e.g. anything in the Linux kernel)

a Clubhouse for remote teams

I am building [Tappy](https://tappy.so/?ref=hn): a Clubhouse for remote teams. When people need to talk, our drop-in audio lets them spark a conversation with a single click.

Surprisingly, National Bureau of Economic Research data months into the pandemic shows that teams tried to bridge the distance by sending more emails—but that didn’t last.

Instead, there’s a now desire to talk more frequently for less time:

*Teams are meeting 13% more often, for 20% less time.*

That’s a step in the direction of the more fluid conversation, but we’re not there yet: the average meeting is still *48 minutes long.*

We’ve been inspired by the growth of remote work, but at the same time, we’ve also seen teams struggling with lack of communication, delays in productivity, and isolation. We think that a real-time, frictionless connection can solve the problem.

Zoom fatigue is real. Video calls make everyone feel the way people on TV feel every slouchy, every mumble, every interruption is magnified. Drop-in audio talk lets remote teams *spark a conversation with a single click.*

Factorization applies to RSA. Bitcoin uses ECDSA, so you'd need to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

Not necessarily. Tar was invented way back, in early Unix days. I know it would have been updated sometimes, in GNU tar and other Unix versions, but they may not have anticipated the massive growth in tape capacities and speeds. Using dd with a high block size to write "virtual tapes" (as described elsewhere in this thread) from disk to tape might be one solution (not tried, just had the idea now).

If I had to guess (other than the general comings and goings of style), it would have been related to the increasing (mandated) usage of XBRL. The visual presentation was no longer as interesting as soon as you could extract the data in a machine readable format.

Except joke is on them because XBRL and the GAAP taxonomies allows "extension concepts" or tags(1) which basically means "we can make up our own reporting identifiers and you can't do anything about it" and makes categorizing accounting data very difficult across companies.

1. No, it won't be a massively important result. It might have been important a year ago, but now it will be completely and utterly useless. Testing a vaccine takes a long time. It maybe kind of working and maybe kind of being safe is irrelevant when we have already started mass vaccinations.

2. The author has no good way of testing it. He will take an off-the-shelf antibody test, but no one will know how to interpret those results.
Hrmm.. But can you name any infrastructure as approximately as critical as a space rocket that uses some kind of rolling update release scenario instead?

Anything beyond basic calendaring, and the awesome powerful rules engine it has.

2035 is a long way off. I've seen estimates of 1PB on ssd coming in 2023. I honestly don't see the numbers working out for tape if this is the trajectory
SarBox came out around that time. No one was in the mood to be cute at that time.
Right. Because you have numbers written in a common language, you can work out what your buttons did. Without that you wouldn't realise until you actually were hit with the conversion fee on one side or the other. If you changed the language and the numbers were written in Chinese, and then you blamed the ATM for being difficult to use without a translation app, how on earth is that not a problem with what you decided to do?

Anyway, I digress...
I'm one of the main developers of R Markdown. As @jcheng said, it is definitely not our intention to lock you in RStudio for any of our R packages. You probably can't imagine how hard I have been trying to avoid relying on RStudio specifically for certain features. There are decisions that I can definitely make in favor of the RStudio IDE, but usually I don't do that, and hope things also work well with other editors. Pretty much everything you do in the RStudio IDE for R Markdown documents or projects can be done in command line. It's not possible that a document is no longer reproducible just because you stop using RStudio.
When you write "anecdote" it seems you also didn't read the linked buzzfeednews article.

There's statistics in there, but it's quite long so I understand if most people won't read it
It does not have a sample size. It was not sampled and one is not a size.

The most basic cases of statistics run on point estimate evaluations. With one datum you just have a point, not an estimate, and you cannot evaluate anything.
It's terrifying. From your comment I was thinking negative stagger like has been done for a few designs in the past, not a lower wing that sweeps the entire length of the aircraft, with the upper wing at the tail. The angle where the rear wing is exposed to interference from the lower wing ranges from 15 degrees through 90.

Losing lift on that rear wing, which there is a massive range of opportunity to do, will yank the rug out from under the back of that aircraft. How often will this design suddenly decide to fly tail-first tens of feet away from touching down on the tires?
FWIW as a developer whose worked in both interpreted and compiled languages (but not Python) it's obvious to me that the compiled version will be faster, but it's not obvious that it'd be meaningfully faster. I'd actually expect network latencies to dominate here in many cases.

As another commenter mentioned I suspect what's being measured here is the Python startup time rather than performance once things are running.

My guess would be a faster to start interpreter (like lua or v8) would rival ht performance, while a slower to start compiled language like the JVM would be as "slow" or slower than httpie.
I originally started my HN account to ask what I should do when my cofounder screwed me out of $12.8 million I was owed as the result of the sale of our company that he forced me out of and sold without telling me. My username came from that era of my life. I cannot even begin to describe how different my life would be had my cofounder not done this. It is unlikely that I will ever again create something that valuable, and accordingly I have a profound sense of loss over it.

So speaking from personal experience...while your anger is completely justified, you have to let it go, or it will destroy you. It’s just one of those things - a random, traumatic event that instantly and irrevocably changes the trajectory of your life, that you can do nothing about. These are jarring reminders that the world is a cold and unfair place, that the universe is not in fact looking out for us, and that people are not “mostly good” as many of us were raised to believe. But holding grudges, even against people that have inflicted unimaginable trauma on you, only hurts you.

They can benchmark all they want. My M1 macbook pro is silent, even during a facetime or zoom call. The battery lasts more than a day which is incredible, and has never burned my legs while watching a youtube video. Every laptop I've ever owned has been Intel and has never been able to do what this machine can do.
If you want fun on the company's dime, convince your boss to take your team to a go-kart track. That would provide a much better fun:money ratio.

Yeah same, this laptop is super snappy and makes my desktop pc that on paper should run circles around the M1 feel slow. Chrome is the only thing on M1 that still feels 'legacy'. Pixelmator pro is damn near instant which is just nuts.

Nope. When was the last time you truly focussed on the operations such things?

If you focus on a toilet, at least in a conventional setting, there's either something wrong with it or that's your profession.

That's one point. If people have to pay attention, it's broken.

To be honest, I can feel the "cultishness" you mentioned, but I'm curious if you also feel that for R Markdown products (which are mostly irrelevant to Tidyverse). If you do, I'd love to try my best to fix that, because that's something that I personally don't like. I want to make it clear that if you don't use R Markdown, you are definitely not doing anything wrong, e.g., LaTeX and HTML are totally legitimate and supported:

Is anyone doing ~16nm microprocessors besides Samsung/TSMC/Intel/GloFo? I wouldn't call it "cheap and easy" if only they can do it.

(After a quick Google, it seems that China's state-owned SMIC is also starting to do ~16nm, but that's all I could find, unless you mean memory and not processors).
Lol no. Of feeding them junk food and calling it science. Take care man.
Yes you are correct. Thankfully, as mentioned, I have mostly moved on from this. This appears to be his first post on HN, so, I felt compelled to comment to make him aware that his presence in forums, etc can be upsetting to people.

And, while I don't think he should necessarily retreat from forums... I just hope that he is conscious of how his presence and words may affect people.
