> Why should Bernie Madoff gone to jail then?! if some guy can steal a car then?

Fraud and tax fraud are different crimes, and even if they were the same the number of counts in Madoff's case would be vastly different.

In other words, you're much better off committing tax fraud than running a Ponzi scheme targeting rich people. Plus, I suspect that if Madoff had walked he would have died shortly thereafter in some freak accident or an apparent suicide .
Just works out of the box with Angular 2 and above and for React "Create React Application" has you covered. I even thknk there's something for Vue.
Thanks for the advice. I really was trying to find the right situation for me in both cases, I may just be bad at doing that. In the first case, I made sure that the company had been established for several years, and had actual clients and revenue (which were both very impressive tbh). It was a development team of 2, just the technical founder and one remove dev. I probably should have taken that as a red flag, as I discovered after working with them that the founder had cycled through many other devs on his team over the years and been unable to find people he works well with despite the business side growing. In other words, he was consistently finding/creating conflicts with his dev team & either firing them or like me they left.

The 2nd company was definitely more of a calculated risk, where I knew they had zero product & zero dev talent but thought it would be interesting to be the manager and put together a team of my own. I just didn't anticipate that after actually delivering, shipping and hiring a high performing team member (and unfortunately hiring one other team member we had to let go for performance reasons). I would then be let go rather than my contributions appreciated. Despite hearing from all sides we were on a great trajectory.
I don't believe the author is railing against getting a degree, so much as railing against these "elite college" graduates being that much better than any other graduate.
These are great tips. Thanks.
Isn't that traditional? We lack most mechanisms of extracting power from sources. Like, even with nuclear radiation we insist on converting to steam generally.

Some times an effective mechanism doesn't exist. Like how if I could, the ideal way to warm my home would be to just transmit power to a bubble around me and warm that, since the rest of the house doesn't need warming, but there is no pleasant way to do that so you use a couple of low efficiency ways:

* heating the entire house

* using lots of energy to grow plants for animals to eat so you can consume them so you can generate heat you can keep within insulation with a sweater
I know it's the title of the article but I still would rename it to "Germany...".

Berlin is a city state in Germany with is own local government.
Most quirky, IMO: double-high/double-wide characters.

Most obnoxious, from the standpoint of a terminal emulator developer: origin mode.
IDK what is going on with the loading times on this. I use Three.js extensively myself, including a full VR app with multiplayer and voice chat, and my stuff loads in a fraction of this time.
Tangentially: Reading [0] from Stephen Wolfram yesterday got me digging into Wolfram notebooks. Does anyone have experience or reflections on using R Notebooks as the main way to keep track of notes?

I don't see the Wolfram products talked about very much here

You are absolutely free to use Osso's source to onboard and authenticate your own customers without paying us! The goal of the license is to prevent someone from creating their own SAAS offering that competes with ours. Using Osso for your own app is within rights granted by the license.

But to your point, we also offer a demo instance that you can use in order to build out your integration, and then when a customer comes along, start paying us and swap out some ENV variables and you're ready to go!
In fairness, cargo culting can be good in very targeted ways.

My company didn't have a clue on what to purchase for software development equipment or how to organize it. As a result, they observed what Google did and copied it to the best of their ability as their pocketbook would allow. Although it's not perfect and they have no idea why it works, it's certainly better than anything they could organically have come up with.
So downvotes and no comments? Nice
I think one of the points in the conclusion is that these two ideas aren't actually on a spectrum, but rather are more orthogonal with each other. It's not a true binary choice so there isn't a real debate to be had between the two. Process doesn't preclude (though it may constrain) individual empowerment, and individual empowerment does not preclude (though it may constrain) process.

There are processes which actually do, to some extent, encourage individual empowerment. I would put the trend to distributed version control systems like git as a boon to both process and individual empowerment, as an example. I can use it much more freely to experiment in my feature branch than when using a system like SVN (in many classical scenarios of using SVN), but the pull request system integrated into many git server systems is itself a process approach to control (and hopefully improve) the development work.

Which parts don't work outside of R Studio for you? Is it something recent? I usually create my single-page and bookdown documents as one step in a separate R script, and haven't found any problems beyond the rmarkdown package's poor documentation (I really wish the R Studio developers would write in-package documentation with as much care as with their online documentation).
Yeah, I found so many cool projects that did not get any atention on Show HN because of hnrss.org. Definetely a feature Hacker News itself should add — they do have RSS for the front page[1], though, with a volume of about 3460 articles per month.

Anything with real-time continuous motion is going to feel fairly uncomfortable with that kind of latency, which includes the great majority of AAA games, including most roleplaying and adventure games
The observation was that during the duration of restricted trading and therefore reduced momentum, there had been sequences of trades with batches of 100 shares sold at continuously smaller values with very little difference between one batch and the next and the difference was in 3rd and 4th decimals.

The fact that retail was restricted to selling and hedge funds were not, further corroborates foul play.
Apple is ranked third for profit in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's largest companies.
More money isn’t necessarily a good thing if you’re losing money to make it in the first place.
Hmm. Maybe the tradeoff has changed since I last tested this (to be fair, a few years ago). But I'm also not focused on build servers especially, it's always been possible to make those reasonably fast. Unless you have a very specific sort of workflow anyway, your devs are doing way more local builds than on the server and that sped up a ton moving to SSD, in my experience anyway. YMMV of course.
Tens of thousands of people have signed up for this at 1daysooner.org. I didn't even volunteer for any of the ongoing trials myself.
It is not free will in the sense that you can spontaneously decide it for yourself. I can choose to eat vanilla yogurt or plain yogurt. That is the narrative my brain hallucinates. The reality behind the illusion is that the choice was made before I even am aware of the "story I tell myself" that I chose one or the other.
I agree there is some amount of risk in everything. When I say bet, I mean a zero-sum game like in a casino. Somone needs to lose money in order for you to gain money. No new money is being created in an options play or a GameStop squeeze. For you to gain 10 dollars, ten people must lose a dollar. The best you can do is encourage more players to join the bet to increase the size of the pot and the less they know the rules of the game the better.

That scenario is pretty dissimilar to something like the value of a currency, which has value in proportion to the participants' trust in its stable value and how easily they can trade it for goods and services.

So to standardize on terms, I mean "bet" like I am betting on roulette, not "bet" as in I bet my bank will still be solvent tomorrow.
the big exploit seems to be scamming for money after the app is installed.

originally I was going with the idea that an app cannot charge monthly, or by feature, more money than what it originally cost to purchase the app from the store. however this would exclude a lot of reasonable apps.

so instead clicking on any application will immediately display all possible charges that could be incurred when installing and using the application. so if a developer has one of those $299 activation clauses it is clearly listed on the app store. if an app will not reveal all post install charges it should be delisted.

of course people could bypass apple payment systems and there are many who want to bypass apple entirely but that wild wild west scenario may send people back screaming
Search for "short ladder" online, all the results I can find are literally days old, many from reddit itself.

Beyond that, the burden of proof is clearly on the "short ladder"-believing crowd, and so far what they have come up with is frankly embarasing.

I have zero problem believing that hedge funds would be more than willing to engage in shady behaviour if it can save them a billion or two, but screaming the nonsensical "SHORT LADDER" every time a highly pumped stock drops is ridiculous.
Show HN: YTT Tech – My curated database of instructional YouTube Videos
Hey HN,

I love learning how to do things on YouTube. It's amazing - empowering, really - that we can
instantly look up how to do so many things. When I looked around for a site dedicated to organizing
and curating this content, I didn't find much, so I took a stab at it. The goal of the site is to
make it easy to browse through and discover videos on different topics.

After implementing the basic experience and authoring tools, I spent weeks combing through
videos to get the collection started, and I've only scratched the surface. Many areas of interest
remain to be added, and to that end, users can submit videos to the database and make other
contributions. If the idea resonates it could become a useful resource.

You don't need to register for the main experience of viewing the videos, only to contribute new
ones, and email is optional.

A demo video can be found here: https://youtu.be/EpWfvu0p5lA

Thanks!
Transaction capacity is far too low. Bitcoin is essentially unusable when transactions take over a hour to complete

Volatility. Currency must be vaguely stable. Bitcoin is all over the place, most of the others have very low liquidity.

The waste of energy.

Scams galore. What in this space is not a scam? There have been so many scams.

Enough?
Use rss more and more. It’s part of the open web no borders for sharing. Using rss in a own program is so much better than scraping. Scraping is a failed option for sites that do not have a decent api or RSS feed. Wordpress offers rss by default which fits the gpl philosophy of Wordpress.
Weirdly, programming this stuff not from scratch can be harder if you use the apis that will utilize the GPU like vulkan or modern opengl.
Blue chips were down around 40% in 2008. If you left your money in, you were back even by 2012. Even if you were slowly withdrawing some starting in December 2008 (the worst of it), you were even by 2013.

I have no doubt there exists someone who was ruined by 2008, but most prudent blue chip investors were not.
Its loaded 17MB for the demo and stuck 60% ("0.62%")of the way.

Avoid experiences like this like the plague.

Update: It has loaded. Not worth it. Great concept, but crappy reality.
Well, yeah, obviously.

But using in the same sentence as both, depending on the point you're trying to prove, is a little dishonest.

As MrPatan pointed out in a sibling comment, the sentence is about the same person.
iCloud Drive, Notes, Photos, and iCloud Backup Experiencing Issues
Well this explains quite a bit.

Zeproxyn, Versalin, Aspiridon, Cotrazin, — I drew those from the æther.
If Apple does not confront issues like this, eventually someone will come along and successfully pass regulation to force the competition in their walled garden. If they stepped up their human curation a bunch, made app quality "a thing" in the same way they've gone after privacy protection, it would make their 15-30% cut a lot easier for people to stomach.

Right now it just looks like money printing press.
No, they're not? You can still have backroom deals with a blockchain, you just don't put the backroom deals on the blockchain.
A handful of people have used our Suggest page for feedback, but that's not ideal. We'll set something up soon. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

The devices will be as great as the almighty Airport, if it comes to build something...berlin is as good as it gets.
I suggest you make a private Telegram group. Everything is synced across all members and devices, photos and videos are stored in full resolution. You can hop into the group's voice chat any time.
The main thing I like about Filecoin is how Filecoin is tied to IPFS, but IPFS is not tied to Filecoin. It provides useful functions to applications building on IPFS and uses proven tech, but if I just want to use IPFS, I don't have to touch any crypto.
Modern consoles all have pay-as-you-go-plans for something like $30/mo. I hate the renting aspect of it, but they provide accessibility to the platforms to those who cannot afford it.
> For context, I just turned 21 ... and am on track to graduate soon as a software engineer.

A 21-year-old soon-to-be software engineer losing $25k is not a life-changing tragedy.
> snowflake ass white supremacists right wing assholes

this kind of language feels hateful.
> That implies that the time for the "new users" to become half of the user base is around 30 years

That doesn’t add up at all... you’re implying that users are gained and lost at exactly the same rate, consistently, over a span of at least 30 years.

It doesn’t invalidate your other point about competition, but it’s a flawed argument to base any reasoning upon.
Many engineers/Creative professionals chafe at being told how to work, so they will resoundingly push back on any procedural change. Usually you'll find that as an individual contributor you have wide latitude to develop in any manner you see fit as long as you earn the trust of your manager and can satisfy his leadership's tracking requirements.

On paper I often work in a scrum team, in practice I subdivide my own work along arbitrary story guidelines to make sure that at the end of the spring I have the requisite number of points + 20% on average. If someone else needs to pick up some work, I'll slice off a whole workstream for them - and then we'll subdivide the workstream to have the requisite number of points + 20% for them as well. I've worked in agile shops for 8 years at this point, and this approach has yielded the best results for both myself and the company - but "not using scrum/agile" is a great way to be viewed as rocking the boat in an unhelpful manner.
If your SSD would be at 100% utilization it’s going to take a lot of HDD to reach that kind of bandwidth. To the point where for high bandwidth loads SSD’s actually cost less even if you have to replace them regularly.

100% utilization and 30x the bandwidth = 30x as many HDD. Alternatively, if HDD’s are an option you’re a long way from 100% utilization.
It harms his credibility a lot.
It's funny that you mention that, I grew up reading Clarke's books, along with Asimov, Frederik Pohl and many others. I've also read The Expanse and by the end of the last book I hated every word of it, I just can't make myself watch the TV series.

Why, you may ask? The behavior of human characters in The Expanse is... terrible. They fight each other, everybody has their own agenda, they behave irrationally. Case in point: in the second book (as far as I remember) an alien ship appears in the Solar system - clearly a hostile force. Earth and Mars send soldiers on the ship and what do they do? They start fighting each other. No, I do not want to believe that humans would behave that way. If you read Clarke's books, when facing the new and possibly dangerous things humans behave logically, calmly. You do not see human vs human conflict in Rama, Childhood's End, The Fountains of Paradise, Space odyssey, Sands of Mars or almost any other of his books. It's about exploration, human unity, positivism, and there is nothing of that kind in the Expanse. I could not find a single character in the Expanse that behaves in the way Clarke's characters would. I apologize for the harsh words but I refuse to believe that Clarke would write such an abomination.

And no, it is not just the Expanse's writers, I see it everywhere nowadays, it seems that the writers nowadays need to insert human conflict so they introduce whatever irrational behavior leads to it.

</end rant>
This looks almost exactly like what I was hoping for! Thank you for sharing!

Love the fact that you've settled on mimicking Robot's one-way-to-do-things functional composition API (that's my preference as well), and have plans for maintaining compatibility with XState's ecosystem for visualizations (that's imo XState's killer feature over Robot). This really looks like it has the potential to offer the best of both XState and Robot _and_ offer a more seamless React integration!

Will definitely be giving it a shot and keeping a close eye on future developments.

SLC seems to be going away pretty quickly, if it hasn't already been phased out. It just can't produce the price / GB of the better tech. Also, that article you linked is almost 10 years old.

You're best bet for long-term reliability is to buy much more capacity than you need and try not to exceed >50% capacity for high write frequency situations. I keep an empty drive around to use as a temp directory for compiling, logging, temp files, etc.

Also, my understanding is that consumer-grade drive need a "cool down" period to allow them to perform wear leveling. So you don't want to be writing to these drives constantly.
Looking at your license, it looks like it limits production use to "internal business purposes" and does not allow providing "access to the Licensed Work to a third party." To me that reads that this is not at all usable as open source for a production SaaS app serving external customers, only for internal intranet apps. I don't think it's appropriate to advertise this as "Open-source" with such a restrictive license.
Exactly. Both.

It's not just that they're established etc. It's that they're right. GME likely has no future beyond slowly closing down and liquidating. Anyone who bet that way will win in the long term.
Perhaps a better analogy would be Netflix streaming. A lot of people thought it was nuts given how many people were still on low-bandwith DSL connections that couldn't reliably stream even in standard definition. There was already an existing solution that worked well -- DVDs by mail (Netflix's original business model). That still exists, but is a small fraction of Netflix's business today.
>If they don’t solve it, they will suffer.

Will they? They shipped defective keyboards for years and they seem to be doing just fine. The idea that "companies who do bad things will be punished in the marketplace thanks to the free market" is juvenile and relies on a false belief in a just world.

I want flexibility that includes quality games with quality graphics. I'm not looking for high-end gaming PC quality (which I used to own) but close to it.
Stadia hits that for me. I play it on TV and laptop depending where I am.

Gaming PCs and consoles will be around for a long time as they serve a market. I hope Stadia builds on their market fit and to become another platform widely used.
I was genuinely asking. What is "the good money" because I truly have no idea what you mean.

I also don't understand why the name is relevant. At least in the US, things with patriotic names - aka the Patriot Act - are almost always obvious propaganda attempts.

uh yeah there are also a ton of people losing a lot bc they got convinced to buy in at 300+. the OGs maybe, but the sub has basically quadrupled in size and brought a lot of new people who don't know anything + people looking to capitalize on that.
In 2020 I fell into a deep and unproductive habit of excessive YouTube binging. It was RSS that broke me out of it. I can subscribe to the worthwhile channels that would otherwise spur me to visit the site (and hence be subjected to the endless recommendation algorithm); yes, YouTube channels still support RSS! Then I can watch the video in my reader and be done with it. No "one more video", no morbid curiosity to check the comments. I can watch what I want and move on with my life.
You're very much on the point, I'd just add that a fiver in a cash register is both an asset and a liability, as anyone with a gun-like object might come through the door and take it. It's only when that fiver, together with the rest of cash, is taken at the end of the day to the bank and deposited there that your $5 grocery transaction can finally be considered settled.
Another almost as old (archive.org copy from Nov 1996) but much more fun:

http://k12s.phast.umass.edu/images/Images.html

This is local copy of Anthony's WWW Images 1.8 released April 1996 by Anthony Thyssen. It was meant as a common set of common navigation icons for the web.

k12s.phast.umass.edu has been running continuously since late 1995. K12S was a spin off k12.oit.umass.edu (a free menu-based multi-user public access system for K-12 teachers and students). The S stood for SLiRP -- an open source SLIP/PPP emulator -- so they could offer emulated SLIP connections via the UMass modem-banks at no cost (local commercial SLIP accounts were $5.95/hr IIRC).
