It's kind of just semantics, but the thought is that tips don't commonly reduce wages, wages stay the same and tips remove the responsibility for the restaurant to ensure that average hourly pay is meeting the general minimum wage.

Another way to put it is that the tips don't normally change the wage structure, which is exactly what Amazon did.

You mean USB4.

I think the exposition of this piece lets down what's otherwise a pretty useful idea.

Here's how I'd phrase it: anything worth doing is a grind. It's exhausting, physically and mentally, and it's really easy to procrastinate on it or avoid it, but all that does is defer it. Rather than trying to avoid the grind, try to get the most out of it that you can -- try to get a little bit better at the thing you're grinding through each day because consistency is king.

And then one day, you wake up and the thing you are trying to do is all of a sudden very close to completion. It didn't just happen that one day, it was in process on so many days before that point. But on that day, you notice it.
If you work in the finance sector... fancy new car, expensive clothes, offload all your home work tasks to others (drycleaner, lawn care, mechanic, contractors, etc). It's all about the prestige and reputation.

So if I understand this right the signature is 32bits times 24 times 15 per full frame?

After the fact, why exactly can I not precalculate my spoofed data stream?

I just need to spend:

3*2^31*24*15*(spoof_seconds/30) ops (on average)?

(assuming 3 streams for position data)

Sure, not cheap, but hardly hard even for even a hobbyist.

So ~2^45 ops to spoof 10 minutes of data? That's doable.

Is my math off?

I have more faith in the direction finding aspects. Here's from the article, an understatement of the year:

> To beat these simple tricks, a spoofer will need to have multiple transmitters that actually show the same parallax as the actual satellites. However, you can only do this by placing your transmitters next to the satellites - in space. This raises the bar significantly.

Counterargument to 2: the air is largely nitrogen, but humans do not utilize it during respiration. Thus, this reliable feature of the environment has not been selected as a dependency.

I'm not necessarily arguing it's untrue, just not quite the hard-and-fast rule that 1 is.
Probably because it was dead, and yesterday or so Maciej put it up again (but read-only), so it's kind of undead now.
Don't forget about "superspeed+". Which I thought they got rid of but Wikipedia says it still shows up some of the time, and it doesn't even mean a specific speed any more!

Although the exact time is a matter for debate, at some point, the value shorts exited their position and "buy and hold" remained the refrain. At that point it became a speculative bubble with no real end goal. The bubble is a pump & dump because there were still a lot of hype posts ("10k is not a meme").

Thanks for this insight and retrospective. It pretty much answers the questions that I didn't know how to articulate, behind the questions I actually asked. :)
They exempt larger licensed professions. For example, you can’t get a license requirement for anything in healthcare without exempting doctors, nurses, and other licensed professions. The carve outs protect other license holders, perpetuating the myth that only a license holding person is qualified. Thus it waters down to a license and market exclusivity for one specific group, but it exempts the rest of the licensed establishment so that the effect is simply market protectionism.
I do wonder how much "social capital" comes along with a famous name when it gets used for something else.

Anyone remember Napster? They were convinced launching it as a legal service would be a huge success just because of the name. Didn't happen.

Parler ignored repeated notices of TOS violations from Amazon, were given a chance to address their frequent TOS violations and incomplete enforcement of TOS violation notices, and came back with a very weak plan while still ignoring specific TOS violations AWS had notified them of.

Parler had ample time. They ignored warnings, they did not address their TOS violations. Then their contract was terminated, and AWS is helping them migrate after the fact. Parler displayed an ignorance of the law and how web hosting works.

Web companies that repeatedly violate the TOS of their hosts deserve to be at the mercy of their failover plans. That responsibility is borne by the web company, not the host.

To be fair he took like 13m in profits and will have millions more if it levels off at 90ish. And remember we're just going based off screenshots, so if he were actually trying to be deceptive, he could just fake the screenshots. I hope he didn't, because that sounds like something the SEC wouldn't like. However yesterday's update he said would be his last, so I'm thinking his lawyer might have told him to shut up.
The absolutely most fascinating part of this is learning how McKinsey has long argued that making recommendations that businesses may or may not act on does not create legal liability (until this).

I’m trying to see that argument applied in any other instance and it becomes totally ridiculous.

“You see, your honor, I merely suggested to my client that he kill his neighbor in order to take his land, I didn’t think he’d actually DO it!”
Yes, he tells the story about the time and context so well that you don't need any background knowledge. All his books are about people and power, which I think anyone can learn from.
How's it going with the AppSumo deal? $100 for 10 users is scary cheap, I worry for your sanity if you need to provide any support.

Interesting! That is pretty early on, but almost certainly the right move (though I am biased). Can I ask, where did you hire them from? What considerations did you make when choosing them? Just wondering what selection criteria non-law folks use for choosing law folks.

I would recommend starting with Master of the Senate, since I think it's his best work. But I started with the first in the LBJ series and it's incredibly gripping as well.

The last thing the United States needs is to hand the Executive Branch any type of authority to say what is real and what isn't. Especially given that they already have Executive privilege and classification authority already.

People must get better at info vetting, just like how it is increasingly inportant that people understand networking fundamentals today. You and only you, can safely be held responsible for data hygiene.
terrastruct looks really awesome! Been looking for something like that for a while, I think I’ll test it out. The landing page is very well put together.
Nice.

That sounds tricky though. You need to be very precise. The attacker needs to provide different received signal to two antennas meters (at most!) apart, at a distance of maybe kilometers, on a moving target. That's a hair thin angle.

The aircraft just needs to TDoA "did it come from above or below (assuming an attack from the ground). That's 180 degrees.

Or am I missing something? Unless I am, this doesn't sound feasible to me.
That sounds like money well spent, and a good deal considering what it enables. It would be incredible to see the multiple levels of govt around the world collaborate to create a publicly funded (bond sales) project for laying fibre optic across the planet which could not be sold to a private corp, and that guaranteed access to it based on population proportion, not GDP.

Not everything is about hitting nails. This is more about thinking about what hammers and nails are made of. If you don't know Church Encodings already, well typed church encodings are going to be a bad place to start. Personally I would look at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogensen%E2%80%93Scott_encodin... it is simpler to teach as a first functional encoding of data types.

The fact that it is a visitor pattern is linking insight from functional and object oriented design patterns together. I can see the confusion if one only views those design patterns on a practical level. The article is really teaching the Böhm-Berarducci encoding to more experienced functional programmers as a concept not as a hammer to solve problems.
It’s Scientology for businesses.
I agree with this - young engineers typically do not appreciate the importance of building the right thing vs building it well. However, the OPs point stands. McKinsey and these other companies just regurgitate what is printed in the trade press and charge you top dollars for it. You meet an experienced person once at project kickoff, and then most of your contacts are fresh grads with 2-5 years of experience. They really specialize in attending meetings and conference calls, but are all over the place (from excellent to awful) at actually implementing things.
What matters is the current status, and that they're not really different. Different countries had their first wave start and end at slightly different times, but that's not relevant.

Killing elected officials going through the steps of a peaceful transition of power would have been "no real threat to democracy"?

Just because the USA would not instantaneously have become a dictatorship doesn't mean that there was no threat to democracy. Do you think Joe Biden would be president right now had they succeeded in storming the building (and had none of the officials been evacuated)?

Thanks for the feedback and question: I worried/wondered the same.

How it's going: one sale as of now (deal is one day old).

To be honest if I ever get in trouble for selling too much on AppSumo this will be a good problem for me. Right now I am looking at getting as much user feedback as possible so no I am not worried.

As of now the product feature set is not so big so support wise I should be fine.

30 days to 14 days that's a good point. I went for the de-facto standard without thinking it too much, if you have more details I'd be happy to learn. I might just try 14 days and see how it goes too.
This is me for a sec every time I see UK collective plural nouns, for example, 'Apple have 10k employees'. Actually now that I think about it, people from Britain must feel like something's off even MORE often from this difference than americans, seeing as lots of content online is US english.

I'm fine stating that engineers from non-elite schools are just as well equipped for the tasks you describe, but that wasn't the GP's contention. The point is that McKinsey make bad recommendations that have demonstrably bad outcomes.

Their fingerprints are all over numerous bad decisions in business and government in the past few decades[0]. These are the bare minimum, because there are quite likely many negative outcomes they have championed in their role as consultants that were never publicized or reported on.

Totally separate from the above is their absolutely mercenary tendency to work with anyone who will pay them[1][2].
