I think it's probably more fair to say that RMS considers the long-term issue of software freedom more important than the short-term issue of a particular piece of non-free software being more usable or accessible right now. One can hold such a position without having a broken moral compass, and one can disagree with it, as I do without believing those who hold it are of bad character.
There's some pretty basic electrical trickery that can be applied to limit current in the discharge direction without limiting it in the charge direction.

I'm dismissing these concerns not because they might hold up progress but because they're well withing what Donald Rumsfeld would call a "known known" of engineering difficulties.

I actually tried building it that way first. I made a tiny static site generator and had Apache enforce basic auth. Creating new users required ssh-ing to the server and modifying the account list. I didn't see that as an approach that would be accessible to less-technical people.
You can also contact Customer Service about stuff like this and they'll handle it and that feedback often makes it back to the teams responsible. There's not a lot of CS contacts in Prime Video compared to retail but they can be meaningful.

You asked for "non politician, non regulator, non government officials", so that's what I dug up.

It doesn't seem like a crazy idea for a corporate retreat-style event. Have a day full of internal presentations reviewing the last year, describing future initiatives, etc. After dinner, Yellen talks, telling some stories about her time on the Fed, working with Clinton, and maybe caps it off with a section about "Future Challenges." People like hearing/meeting celebrities, so it caps the day off nicely while being reasonably educational too.
Yes, I'm sure our politicians will get right on that...
You seem to have fallen for being bashful to suggest people in power may be corrupt. Not harping on you directly, but I'm getting tired of the word conspiracy being thrown at everything.

Politician/authority figure gets paid exorbitant amounts of money for inane services by entities who directly profited from contested policy enactments. That's not a conspiracy. That's just bribery with extra steps to make it "legal". Just because some people dont like it or embarrasses some authority figures, doesn't make it "some crackpot conspiracy". Just like throwing the word nazi around was a craze just recently for anyone that doesn't agree with your general life views.

The people's responsibility is to point out conflicts of interest and potential corruption. No politician or authority figure should be safe from that, no matter their party or demographic.
Good question! Many apps are trying to expand around the world and have a global presence. This is actually what originally inspired the idea for Emerge. App size is crucial if you are trying to break into new markets where users might not have the latest iPhone or be on 5G. Generally, we don't think companies want to exclude users because of a technical issue, and engineers are motivated to build the most performant apps they can. A healthy app size is also a good indicator of a high quality app since it affects other metrics such as download and app launch time.
>At most 8 years, probably less. And then Yellen will go back to the private sector

Yellen was in public positions from 1977-1980, 1994-1999, and 2004-2018. She was a professor at Harvard from 1971-1976 and at UC Berkeley from 1980-1994. She's certainly made a lot of money from these sorts of speaking fees and there's criticism to be had, but she's spent far more time in academic or public positions than she has "in the private sector".

I don't think she's the same case as, e.g., someone who was employed by an investment bank for a long time, takes a federal position for a year or two, then goes back to working in banking.

Nope. My opinion on short-selling is, let's say, nuanced, but in this case I was making strictly a technical analogy.

It feels to me like this type of corruption is a temporal play in which you "lend" your influence in the present to somebody. Using your influence they pass legislation/regulation etc. that yields them lots of money in the future. Once you leave office, the people that you lent your influence to will pay you back with the proceeds they obtained while they were making use of your influence.

The more "standard" type of corruption (the kind people in nice suits usually think of when they say "corruption") doesn't involve a temporal play. You get money in the present for using your influence directly in order to benefit the people who paid you, also in the present/near future.

Perhaps my analogy to short selling is not fully accurate, but this is kind of how it feels to me.
Oh no. Will get it fixed!

> contributing to the enormous e-waste we are all piling up

Sincerely asking here, but what do you see are the most significant negative externalities here? We're not exactly running out of landfill space anytime soon, and most landfills in the US are very careful to ensure waste doesn't pollute the surrounding environment.

Is it the greenhouse gas emissions? I'm curious how the total emissions on buying a pair of headphones every 2-5 years compares to other everyday activities like shipping my weekly usage of broccoli to the grocery store for me to eat.

Is it the concern of labor going to waste? Something else?
> If Yellen lacked scruples, she would have gone into the private sector after leaving the Fed.

1. She did go into the private sector. She got paid for speeches. That's not a public sector job.

2. It's not mutually exclusive to enjoy public sector work while also lacking scruples. The list of corrupt politicians is endless.
Lots of people want to hear what a Fed Chairman has to say and it is impossible to disentangle their future work from that former position.

Is a position as a lecture of Economics at Harvard considering working for personal profit? Writing books on subjects that they are experts in? How about writing for the NYTimes? Appearing on TV? What about if they did all those things before taking a government job?

If your answer is yes to those things, then taking a high-level government position becomes impossible for anyone working class. Since you believe that the position bars them from any worthwhile future employment, they have to be independently wealthy before entering government service.

I personally enjoy reading the works of Ben Bernanke and think that he should be allowed to continue his work in economics despite having held a top position at the federal government. He's intelligent, insightful, and a good teacher.
I tend to lean towards this thinking as well.

There are many people in this thread and others across the internet and media who are talking about the conflict of interest. However, there's little showing what potentially bad things she is doing.

Yellen has lots of experience with the regulatory and finance institutions and their inner workings. For sharing her perspectives on how things work, what pressures they face, and how best to engage with them, she should be paid quite well. That's what these Citadel talks look like, at least until someone can connect the dots better than they have been connected.

For example, what nefarious plot is there? What regulator capture is she engaging in? Somewhere else in the thread someone mentioned car import issues with Reagan; where is the equivalent with Yellen?

Until there is a salient point to be made about her conflicts of interest, doesn't it make sense to give her the benefit of the doubt?
Pre-teen and teen gaming is currently dominated by the Minecraft and Roblox brands (more than Fortnite, even!). I'm not sure how GameStop can form strategic partnership with those parties, but I would be targeting that aggressively.

The reality is gaming is moving into an interesting extra-social space (complementing social spaces like TikTok), where a lot of the kids I know use these games as a core means of socializing. This is especially true after the pandemic lockdown.
> Anyone can spin up a website for negligible cost and put in place whatever legal content they so choose.

And host it where exactly?
I'm pretty astonished at the level of certainty going on here that this was corrupt. Isn't spouting off on that the easy path? Can it at least be accepted that it is possible to accept speaking fees without engaging in a quid pro quo for later favors? Given that, shouldn't there be a hint of evidence that there is some sort of actual agreement or plans to do a bribed action, aside from the speech and speaking fees themselves?
Genres are complex and fuzzily-defined, but they're definitely both useful and widely-used.

You don't have to make it incredibly strict and granular, but subgenres give an easy way to say 'these works are similar', and that's helpful in all kinds of situation.
Doesn't 3D printing take a lot of time, though? Especially for complex prints - I'm not directly involved, so I might be wrong about this, but I've definitely seen print times quoted in double-digit hours often enough that it doesn't surprise me any longer. Between that, the typical need for hand finishing, what I gather to be extremely significant capex for machines capable of printing fast in multiple colors, and the existence of Thingiverse and Shapeways - I dunno, this feels like something that might be good to get a few people into a store, but not something that would be likely even to pay for itself, to say nothing of paying enough to keep the lights on all by itself.
It is tax avoidance technically because it is legal. Still a problem and arguably an even bigger problem. But the distinction is crucial. If you were head of the IRS and tried to score big by going after tax avoiders for tax evasion you will lose in court badly by precedents.

This is a quibble, but 35% for the top bracket of your income is not the same as a 35% federal tax. You would need to be a quite high income for this to be true since the top bracket currently is 37% and the second highest is 35%. Someone making $200k today has an effective tax rate of 20%. You would need to make $2 million today to have an effective tax rate of 35%.

I have no problem with elites, personally. Just (alleged) corruption.

I think most social justice advocates would agree that corruption and regulatory capture are bad. If anything, I'd expect a response more like "why are women like Yellen and Hillary Clinton being uniquely targeted with these accusations?" (whether they are or aren't). I'm not sure where the parent poster is sourcing the claimed identity-based defenses of her alleged corruption, though.
Long time user here. But not anymore, because it's veeeery slow on Retina Macbook Pro. That also prevents promoting it at work because it is so slow. Microsoft Office is a faster, sad to say.

Janet Yellen is 74. I would expect that she would retire or do what she has done, teach or research. She was at the Brookings Institution after being Chairman of the Fed. I suppose she could have been a senior VP at Goldman Sachs if she had wanted to be, but apparently she didn't.
Emoluments/Hatch Act violations would have been prosecuted if Democrats controlled the Senate. When there's zero Republican votes that can be peeled away even on existential charges like corruptions of the electoral and judicial processes (soliciting foreign nations to drum up charges to have political opponents jailed, organizing an insurrection against the capitol to prevent votes being counted, etc) then there's no point in bringing "minor" charges like corruption.

This is very much an issue where both parties are not the same, Democrats do police their own and when they control the levers of power they do police the executive branch as well. House ethics investigations do happen all the time, and they would happen in the senate (and against hte executive) had democrats controlled the levers of power there too.

The whole reason this controversy exists is because Biden is enforcing rules and Yellen is specifically asking for an exemption from the rules. This would have been business as usual under Trump. He didn't even bother to divest from his own conflicts of interest let alone anyone else's. Remember his secretary of transportation taking low-interest loans from the chinese government to help her shipping company, while she was in office, for example? But with republicans controlling the Senate there was nothing that could realistically be done about it, the constitutional remedy for improper behavior from a cabinet member is impeachment.

"OK, these are the rules and this is maybe a little iffy, I'm going to document the conflict of interest and ask for permission" is how the system is supposed to work (at least according to the corporate/regulatory compliance training I periodically have to do), and that's hugely different from the "lol imma do it anyway" that existed under republicans. Pretending that's the same is not intellectually honest at all.
> The massive FTD rate is a solid indicator of clearinghouse risk. And it wasn’t Robinhood’s FTD, but they were on the other end of the trade.

Fair point. But ultimately the solution would be to impose a locate requirement on market-makers, then buy all eligible FTD positions at market to cover them and send the bill to the respective short-selling clearing members.

In general, it doesn't make sense for market-makers to sell a threshold security short into demand, even if there's borrow available, because that borrow will be needed to chip away at the FTD queue.

Also, what rate do firms that fail to deliver pay to be short to the clearinghouse? It ought to be in line with the borrow rate in the securities lending market.

> The risk of a hedge fund failing was a multi-billion dollar contagion about to the hit the clearinghouse.

Melvin doesn't directly face the clearinghouse. I'm not sure where Melvin does its PB but I doubt JPM, MS, or GS would go under from failing to quickly cover a single short position. (But it would be very interesting to hear the earnings Q&A after a quarterly loss due to a reddit squeeze.)
This is sad. I knew several Asian Indians who claimed that they were mixed race to get into college. Because if they didn't, they won't get in while they all had 4.0 gpas. They just didn't completely kill their social life, they didn't join multiple clubs or volunteered every weekend. It is disheartening to see young kids in one ethnic group needing to work so much harder while other ethnic groups have lower standards of admission.
Well, for one, "cracking the password" in this case would take an attacker much longer than just going to find some other family's blog to creep on. And there is no entry point for a directory listing (default page is being taken by the password prompt, no other directories are present), but if, for example, GitHub accidentally made my private repository into a public one, it's just a matter of changing a directory name to reset the password.

The content being protected here isn't nuclear launch codes, it's just family pictures/journals--so we don't need rock-solid (and annoying to set up/maintain) security, but just a deterrent much the deadbolt on our house's front door.

My point is that 700K is a small sum compared to what she could be getting if money were her motivation. If she were interested in money, working at Treasury and previously accepting money for speeches earns her a fraction of what she could earn otherwise.

Ask HN: Is there a high resolution tracker for finding apartment package thief?
I live in a building with several floors and an apartment thief is taking packages from me from my front door, and from the mail room.

I'd like to find this person and call the cops on them with concrete evidence.

The best I could think of is leaving fake packages outside with high resolution trackers in them. However, is there a high enough resolution tracker that can display on the map where the object has been? I know the Tile has 400ft tracking but as far as I can tell it only emits sound, not show on a map where it was last... at least not in the resolution needed in an apartment

But is it because it is AGPL? My wife is a professor who also uses Canvas. She knows how to program. If I turned to her right now and asked what AGPL was or what Canvas' license was she wouldn't know nor would she care. If I asked her how she'd start modifying Canvas to solve her problems she'd tell me she is already way too busy and isn't going to try something like that in a million years.

The point is that this software needs to compete by being better software, not by convincing people that FLOSS applications are morally righteous.

What percentage of faculty members have ever modified the source for Canvas? I'd wager it is less than 1/10,000th.

Quibble: to me "This is day one" is less about "what market can we get in on the ground floor of and ride a wave". It is more to underscore we are driving the innovation or market and that we are always starting from zero, never too late to change / pivot and we're still aggressively growing everything, or that is the goalline.

> How much do you think it should cost to get a former president to give a talk?

Nothing. Or, on second thought, maybe a large donation to a children's hospital. I would expect a public servant from the highest office to be committed to public service. The presidency shouldn't be monetized, but if a former president really needs money they could always sell a book. That doesn't create any perverse incentives like speaking fees.
