I mean its literally not about you, its about the behavior of crowds and you are one N=1?

Also the people who object to this are generally the kind of people who don't realize how much their own opinions and behavior are molded by these things. If you don't realize that this goes on, and that it is effective, you are more likely to be one of the susceptible ones.

My dad handed me down a pair of AKG cans he had been using since he was 20 (almost 25 years old now). My main headphones (AT-M40x) have lasted almost 8 years so far, and I've only needed to replace the earpads. The next to go is the cable, but I don't really need to worry since it comes with an extra cable in the box.
Hopefully this additional data will get the US to act the way they should have in November. Lift the ban on Astrazeneca. It's been given safely to millions now, with zero deaths from covid in the vaccinated (+14 days).

The FDAs failure to approve Astrazeneca is the most horrifying government agency failure I have ever seen.

Being a malware has noting to do with exploiting security vulns. When you installed a cracked video game found on a warrez website back in the 2000s, that came bundled with pop-up ads spawning on your computer, it was called a malware.

Today, Windows itself comes bundled not just with ads, but with a keylogger and monitor all you do on your computer.

Mainstream software have turned themselves into malware in a desperate attempt for monetization in a world where nobody wants to pay for software (in parts because FLOSS alternatives exist, but not only).
Unfortunately this article doesn’t really give YouTube’s reasoning for the removal. Did the Drs advance debunked conspiracy theories in addition to the comments regarding ivermectin?

If so, it is a bit of bait-and-switch to defend the portion of the presentation that wasn’t grounds for the removal. Seeing as this is a persuasive argument I would be more persuaded had the author been transparent about YouTube’s reasoning. As I’m sure the author, a lawyer and politician, knows the art of persuasive rhetoric well, his oversight seems intentional.
Yes and I think that's true everywhere, not just in Europe. My point is that if you already have a relevant bachelor's degree and are employed, the marginal benefit from the MSc isn't worth it.
I replied inelegantly but my point was that, just because a contract is written in a country within the EU, it doesn't mean that the Commission's understanding of Belgian law is correct. The way you wrote "it was written by EU experts" implied that the law would necessarily side with the EU because of this -- you almost implied that it was written by the same people kicking up fuss. That isn't the case.

As I linked to earlier in the thread, the first Belgian lawyer I saw tweeting about the contract wrote "I cannot conclude that the Commission has [...] the right on its side. Quite the contrary." [0]

Another legal expert also recently wrote "[The European Commission appears to be wrong] Belgian lawyers so far seem to agree with this analysis." [1]

Finally, this Belgian lawyer also agrees [2] and gives more detail about why. He explains that "we have a classic distinction between obligations to achieve a result ("result") and obligations to use efforts ("means")" and that "using "best efforts", "reasonable efforts" or any other effort standard simply refers to an obligation of means".

I will not be the judge of this but I can say that I've yet to see a Belgian legal expert claiming anything like what you have. When you can't find a single expert to support your position that should be a red flag.

There aren't many precedents to work from, the closest is GPM but that's not quite a match and there your purchases were mostly transferred to YTM and you could also download your MP3s. On Microsoft side, they closed their eBook store and refunded everyone's books, as well as extra credit for people who had annotations which were lost. While Google does deprecate products, almost all of them were free / small experimental services, so while we don't know how they would handle this case, I still just don't see how they can shut it down without either transfering your licenses to another service or refunding you. Do you have any examples of them leaving people completely high and dry on something people had paid for? Or any other tech company for that matter?
"How do we tell correct inferences based on faith from faulty ones?"

The Catholic Church claims teaching authority based on the argument that Jesus gave Peter, the mantle of the rock he will build his church. The Church argues it knows what Jesus meant, even though it is the first to admit it has often erred and has a history of ancient corruption and new corruption. The Church further argues that God cannot be in error, but our understanding of God is often in error.

As a Catholic, the arguments of the church are summarized in the Catechism which is available on the vatican.va website. The best apologetics I have ever read are those of Pope Emeritus Benedict and those of Peter Kreeft, a Catholic philosopher.

As for philosophical arguments, the teachings of the church are summarized by two arguments. a) We are all brothers and sisters, children of God, deserving of equal dignity and respect, and literally made in the image of God. b) We should reject evil even if it brings about good. This is a direct rejection of utilitarianism, the argument that the ends justify the means, and it is why the Church argues against eugenics, abortion, and capital punishment.

As for historical arguments, the Catholic narrative is like this. God intervened directly throughout mankind's history and has slowly revealed himself. First, to Abraham, then to Moses, and lastly through his divine Son. The world of ancient Europe during Jesus' time was dominated or some might argue enslaved by Rome. Through a divine miracle, the faith of impoverished uneducated Jewish fishermen became the official religion of the Roman and Byzantine empires.

Maybe you don't print books at home, but the home publishing does exist. Mostly for small businesses who need to give each customer a slightly different book (if only because of updates). If you will sell 1000 books you should get a publisher to print the book, but if you are looking at only a couple per month print on demand at home makes sense as you can ensure everyone gets the latest corrections.

The above is moving to electronic, but paper still has advantages over electronics so it isn't dead.

After many years at big tech companies, I am now working at my first that has "Architect" as a separate role. While many of my colleagues in that role are great people and very smart, after a few years of living with it, I strongly believe that it's an "org smell" and I will seek out companies without it in the future. It creates completely the wrong dynamic to have the hands-on engineers, no matter their seniority, not be fully empowered and expected to make these decisions. And no matter how experienced and smart the architects are, if they aren't working hands-on with the systems and code on a regular basis, they can't make the best decisions. Software architecture as a separate job from software engineer is bad for everyone involved.
The main reason behind why I choose Golang was that it compiles to binaries, but it is also a really simple and easy to learn language.
> I have tried “Fractional Scaling” – it works OK on Wayland, but leaves all the fonts looking soft and fuzzy.

Ah, there we go. The real, underlying problem is that the scaling that would make this problem go away doesn't work for you.

Scaling the fonts instead of fixing the underlying issue and then deciding that all of web development is wrong for optimising for CSS pixel count (like one should) instead of manually doing DPI calculations (which everyone gets wrong, very often, and probably Javascript just to do a basic layout) is a silly solution.

Look for a blurry-font-rendering solution instead of a change-the-way-everyone-develops-websites solution, it's a lot easier to convince people that it's a real problem.

Of that specific stock a year ago? No. But there are regulations and circuit breakers in place for extreme volatility already so situation like what happened are known possibilities. Robinhood can pause transactions anytime they need to in order to raise more capital or otherwise meet their deposit requirements. The stock exchanges can completely pause all trading to let things cool off if they deem it necessary.

The dominant narratives coming out of WSB over the past couple weeks were narrow-picture, simple minded takes on a complex system(and conspiracy theories) rooted in ignorance. Anyone preaching a more nuanced view and displaying actual knowledge of how the market functioned, at a technical level, were painting a much different picture.

I feel like the universe prob did a bunch of would-be investors a favor when those brokers had to temporarily pause buys on GME. Given how high the stock was and GME is down 80% today off the 5 day peek. I understand those who were super keen on taking a bunch of other peoples money in exchange for a worthless stock may feel differently. To each their own I suppose.
I’m guessing that people are finding it relevant because PG is an authority on that topic, and his interests are well aligned with founders, of which there are a significant number that read HN and may need cap table management software. It’s certainly relevant to me as someone who may soon be in the market for something to do cap table management. Also, it’s PG, and a lot of us found this place and YC because we liked his essays. Not random celebrities’ tweets, very specific celebrities’ tweets.
IANA patent lawyer, but I am not sure this patent's claims would apply. It creates a sequence of the natural numbers and certificates for each number in the sequence. But the approach being outlined here doesn't rely on trustworthy sequential numbers at all.

Put another way: this patent may cover some specific applications of Merkle trees to natural numbers, but doesn't cover all sequential data structures. For most purposes "happened-at" or "happens-before" relations are plenty useful and don't require sequence numbers to establish the relation.

Two things to augment your explanation of the first and second amendments. Firstly, the first amendment guarantees "the incorporation freedom of speech", and not "the freedom of any speach" which sounds arbitrary but isn't when you remember so much of the constitution is meant to carry forward existing British and colonial traditions. If we were free to say it in 1789 we're free to say it now. We aren't free to say anything we please, but the limits are very very wide.

Secondly, incorporation doctrine has made a giant mess of everything, especially the second amendment. It does need to be read in conjunction with the Militia clause in article 1 and you need to keep in mind the intent was to keep a small army but a powerful militia. Militia refers to every man capable of fighting. In federalist fashion, congress got to set standards but the states executed them. The second amendment was a minimum training standard that said congress couldn't abuse its power by enacting gun control because if they did, we'd have no militia to defend the nation which would be a perverse outcome. But basically the federal government has the (curiously unused) power to regulate the training of the militia. Part of that could plausibly include restrictions on how the militia is trained on certain weapons. Hence, to bear a WMD congress could require you to serve one weekend a month, two weeks a year if you get my drift.

It seems like the Solarwinds exploit deserves inclusion on their list. The big thing about the event is you have a whole bunch of high-value-target companies who uncritically load whatever update Solarwinds (and the other proprietary vendors they use) send them. The create a huge "attack surface" and allowed the hackers to stay in the various systems for a substantial period of time.

And yes, "anyone can be hacked" but if the various companies compiled their admin software from source, things would certainly be harder - even if dubious source got through, the action of the software of "phoning home" would be a lot more suspicious, etc.
> who pays for proprietary software, often can demand changes. With OSS, the user is in no position to do so at all.

What do you mean by that? With OSS, I can demand any change that I want and have any software development shop that I choose implement that change at a competitive price.

Quite on the contrary, paying for proprietary software does not mean any right for changes as such - even when paying for really expensive enterprise support contracts; I recall a case where not only the vendor would not make such a change, but we were prohibited by the contract to make the change ourselves (by patching the compiled code, which we were technically capable to do for that particular change we wanted).
Reason 1: We're tracked. Basically saying that we're tracked through our phones and credit cards.

Reason 2: "Thought crime." Basically complaining about deplatforming. Then extends to saying some countries will jail you for "wrong-think".

Reason 3: Big Tech. Bemoaning that we use Google and Facebook and a few other services for most communication. Also Apple/Google/Etc pay.

Reason 4: Sheeple. Aka "most people are fine with it".

It's just all sort of alt-righty conspiracy-lite ranting.
This is terrible advice.

The person in question is a non-US citizen living outside the US. They are not covered by anything related to the US. They need to understand what the laws are in their own country, but chances are their contractor status will make it easy to dismiss them. They should read their contract, and pursue an attorney in their own country, but definitely not an American attorney.
I was so tempted by their “buy cyberpunk on Stadia and the hardware is free” deal they did in December but they ran out of inventory too soon for me to buy it.

Vaguely reminiscent of an earlier controversy regarding qmail's removal from OpenBSD ports:

I think you misinterpreted what I said. Rephrased: "in order to close out their positions, they must buy the stock". I didn't intend to state that they would close them.

I will say though, price going up forcing short sellers to close out (due to margin calls, fear, whatever) is not some made up thing..it's called a short squeeze. I do not know what will happen with GME.
> They cannot maintain them. If they can raise funds ( which they did ) they can maintain the positions

I think at this point for a lot of people its "hold until they can't maintain, this isn't about money it's about screwing over the man!!!!" - as they say the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

> Boycott it. If enough users cease to buy the OS

So I have to convince thousands (for Windows maybe a million) of people that the thing that irritates me should be removed. Nope, that seldom happens.
I find better luck in FOSS where there is enough tweaking potential that I can remove the irritating thing I don't like. Maybe FOSS maintainers and developers have no financial incentive to do what I want, but I can always have a local patch to do that.
However, if the areas are sparsely inhabited both the federal and the state districts are correspondingly large. You'd never have an entire district that people don't live in even if large areas of the district have no inhabitants or courts.

The issue here is that because all of Yellowstone is in the federal district of Wyoming--including the parts that aren't in Wyoming, you'd need someone who lived in the federal district of Wyoming and the state district of Idaho to sit on a jury. That's a null set.
Yes you could think of an analogous statement being: why do we need lenses? A raw exposed imager is just fine, we can use machine learning to extrapolate what the lens would be providing. And yes that's true but why in the hell would you want to spend time doing that? Self driving is hard enough already.
The spatial audio processing is done on the mobile device, not the headphones.

Which has made me seriously wonder if it's not actually about a gyro/accelerometer on the device, but did Apple just design the code to run specifically on certain A chips?

From the support page [1] for spatial audio, from the list of supported mobile devices you can basically deduce that it requires an A10 chip or later.

Which would explain why Intel Macs aren't supported. The only thing it doesn't explain is why the Apple TV 5th gen (4K) doesn't support it, which does have the A10. But I swear I'm holding out hope that a software update this year will bring spatial audio to the M1 Macs and the Apple TV 5th gen. I just for the life of me can't imagine why they wouldn't.

NIST Offers Tools to Help Defend Against State-Sponsored Hackers
> Command pattern is definitely one pattern we've seen these tamper-evident logs applied to; you can easily imagine a system where, say, config update "commands" are packaged off and written to a TE log, and then workers apply those commands to a system if and only if they are convinced that the commands were properly logged.

Tip: call it LogOps and engage in an exercise-yard shiv-fight with GitOps folks.

I prefer to think of both as examples of WAL or intent logs. It's a useful pattern and it's nice to have a narrowly-focused tool for it.
I've been surprised we haven't seen Google try to play with the pricing model at all; I would be more than willing to consider a per-hour rate for gameplay, even higher tiers for AAA properties.

Buy the game outright if you want, but pay, shall we say, .40 per hour of playtime with a minimum of 5 hours.

Are publishers not interested in terms like these? Google's clearly interested in the "start playing from Youtube with your favorite streamer" angle. A per-hour pricing model would click so well with that. Maybe streamers even get a cut from the first-time player fees.
That's the point you're making.

The point I'm making is that Melvin is going under, a few Redditors will make money if they get out in time, but the eventual impact of this will be a different set of billionaires gets richer while most Redditors are going to be stuck holding the bag.

Which isn't exactly the "Reddit gets rich off of evil billionaires" narrative that's being sold. And it makes the diamond hands strategy all the more foolish when literally the only way Redditors will actually stick it to the billionaires is if they all manage to get out in time. Diamond hands as a strategy just makes WSB the eventual suckers donating their money to the funds who shorted at $400.
