I've found the process is fast if you have a good internet connection to download macOS again. Otherwise, that's where it seems a lot of the time goes.
There are lots of startups within big companies. Example is Zonky (peer to peer lending startup) within Home Credit - multibillion dollar lending entreprise. But they have been created with a strong team which felt ownership. And as Home Credit was growing like crazy themselves too, they left this internal startup to self-manage too.
Oh, I agree. It’s just that my recent experiences have included mostly people foreign to both transactions and foreign keys.
It's clearly not news - makes perfect sense. Lawmakers have to learn that playing stupid games leads to winning stupid prizes. Perhaps they should've made a law against misinformation first.
If he can afford it, a problem may not exist. Heroin use has few if any negative physical effects in the long term.
Maybe a bit, I did indeed have a 6000 eur debt. My knowledge may be a bit outdated. But school (BSc/MSc) will cost a max o 2000/year and the interest is basically zero and you have to pay it back in 20 years if you can't it's forgiven (it was in my time). I paid back the 6000 (parents didn't want to pay for uni) at a rate of 50 euro/month, until I just paid it off in one go.

"Thanks to GIL, multithreading in CPython is just broken and doesn't work."

Thanks to the GIL, multithreaded Python code doesn't have to worry too much (you do, a little) about shared mutable objects.
It is only a matter of time before crypto-currencies fall under government control. Shadow economies do not generate taxes, and taxes are necessary to support the infrastructure. Let’s be honest: mining of these currencies uses a lot of energy. How about a currency that is tied to CO2 capture?
Drug addiction is a continuum not a binary state of being (addict or not an addict). Addiction can run from someone who uses every night after work because that’s how they relax (and they feel like something is missing if they don’t) to a person who compulsively uses to the exclusion of sleep and eating. And it can vary over an addicts life time.

The one drug that has interestingly been demonized is meth. It’s used as a prescription drug and was commonly used recreationally in the 70’s. Now it’s viewed as a one way road to destitution and death.

Drugs are illegal so the media covers the train wrecks. The users who aren’t train wrecks don’t make the news.

Can you imagine if alcohol was illegal and the only stories you heard about users were the people who drank themselves to death? You’d assume nobody could use alcohol in moderation, which isn’t true.
What is left out of the title is that they do not provide funding to the current authors/maintainers of these open source projects. Instead, they fund an organization that will rewrite these tools.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s my understanding of the rather terse article.

I would rather have the original maintainers funded and still in control of the many pieces that form the basis of the major Linux distributions.
I was a smoker for several decades. I would describe being away from a cigarette as "an acute feeling of thirst, but in your chest."

And when you decide to quit, it takes quite a while before you stop feeling that strange thirst.
Addiction is rooted in truama. It's almost impossible to become an addicted if you didn't have to endure (childhood) trauma. So addiction is often an attempt of escaping, or soothing that pain.
Taking a Stand in the War on General-Purpose Computing
When source of addiction is not fulfilled for a long time it can have different effects on different individuals. It is not a generalised “feeling”.

Some people might feel a drive to do something completely non-rational, some might go into depression, some might even feel hungry.

I don't see why not in an IPv6 world.
This post was an inspiration, so I decided to cancel my subscription.
It was a swift cancellation, 3 minutes, maybe because of the effect of this thread.

I typed 2 x "I want to speak with areal person". regardless of the question of the bot, then NY Times account number. After that, to the real agent I typed "I can't afford the NY Times subscription".

The "it's me not you" approach is perfect in persuasion.

That's the environment startups exist in due to economic realities of having little money to go on rather than some grand strategy.

There is a possibility a better balance of risk/reward (say 5% of ownership and 150k salary) could well produce just as good or better outcomes.
I have heard that Apple does something like that when developing new products?
I've been to both countries, i'd say for anybody really at the bottom of the pile that Australia is at least ten times better, unless you live in a cabin in West virginia and go by the nearest piggy wiggly by horse. Then public services aren't that important if you don't intend to have kids, and the US is true freedom.

Certainly left-leaning. I've heard Stephen Bush (their political correspondent) is quite reliable on Labour issues, but I don't read it much these days. It went right down in my estimation in terms of journalistic integrity after the Roger Scruton debacle.
The fact that it’s NOT normal to act reasonably should be telling us something.

Imagine if you had to go through this exhausting process in your personal life. After half an hour since asking your spouse to help with the dishes, your spouse finally says “now that we realize using paper plates will solve your problem of dirty dishes, is there anything else I can help you with?”

We wouldn’t tolerate that in our personal life so why do we in business? After all, corporations are people...

Reminds me of the quote “Being well adjusted to a sick society is not a measure of health”
QAnons are already in positions of power throughout the American government. You can't have a democracy and not have a significant cultural and political movement be represented, even if it is crackpot lunacy and a Trojan horse for white supremacy.

That's on the US and its poisonous political culture for letting QAnon get big enough to matter. Now it matters and America and the Republican party are stuck with the ramifications of QAnon having become popular enough to win elections.
> When interest rates are zero or negative, the value of future cash flows is huge and that is how you get PE and EBITDA ratios of over 100 and price/revenue multiples approaching 100.

This is false.
That's just the addressing/subnetting though. Ipv6 and 4 for that matter also have a lot more going on in the packet handling and specification. and Ipv6's packet handling stuff is way more complicated than Ipv4. I was reading through just the ICMP parts and the difference is significant. I imagine the rest of it is the same.
> How do you imagine the real world works?

The way it works. It's not me complaining about "Free market doesn’t work that way."

Yes, yes they will.

So what is, exactly, the nature of your complaint?
Well, needing to use a drug is already a drug problem (addiction or not).
Death is pretty long term. Pardon me if I’m pessimistic on this topic, I just watched a Janis Joplin documentary.

Why? Limited downside does not mean small, it just means limited. It can perfectly destroy a person's finances if they invest all their lifesavings in it. And the reward for a company is normally a % of how much value they provide to their customers (yes, I know, not always, but generally that's true). Unbounded does not mean infinite.
What books would you recommend one to read about this area? Thanks for any advice.
The original title is "Precisely: better assertions for Python tests", and it's far superior to the one submitted here.
there could be some underlying pain or trauma or anxiety, and when you find a chemical that obfuscates it, your brain goes "oh I like this new feeling", and you start using that chemical as a way to mute the negative, often without realizing it OR realizing those underlying issues even exist.

then, the press secretary in your brain (the thing between your subconscious & conscious mind) goes into hyper-rationalization (denial) mode and you start to defend the amount and type of chemicals you use, even when they are literally killing you and those around you

If you're asking about what physical or psychological withdrawal from a drug feels like, it depends on the person, the chemical, and other variables. The worst opiates (Suboxone / Methadone) have 6 month+ withdrawal symptoms, and the faster ones are ~7 days. Hellish times. However, while abstinence frees you from withdrawal symptoms, unless the underlying mental issues are addressed it's likely you'll go back to the very same substance that got you here.
Ever read a good book, or played a video game, and known that you have to stop now but thought "I'll just read another chapter / play one more turn"?

I would say that's basically how addiction manifests itself: even if you know that you're dealing with substance abuse, come on, one more time won't matter, will it?

And then there's also the comfort aspect: you're getting back from a hard day's work, you're feeling tired and cranky, you do deserve something nice, don't you?

N.B.: I'm not saying that not being able to drop the book or stop playing that game IS addiction, just that substance addiction might feel the same way.

N.B. 2:And I'm not talking here about the medical aspects of withdrawal, because that's not the thing an addict would usually experience (withdrawal would only happen because you're trying to stop or cannot get access to the substance you need).
Like trying not to scratch an itch.
The minimum wage increase that Biden is pushing for is radical. He wants a 15$/hour minimum wage, which if I believe Wikipedia would be the highest minimum wage in the world right now.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but I think it would qualify as left-wing in most countries.

Agreed about social safety nets and most other policies. Sometimes it feels Americans don't realize how uniquely chaotic and inefficient their system is, compared to every other western country. The healthcare system in particular.
Yeah, the high resale value of iPhones and Macs make them prime theft targets. Locking them to a user makes them less desirable to steal.

IIRC iPods were similar. Early on, people wearing white headphones were targeted by thieves.
Normally I am against Facebook, but they are in the right here. This is totally Murdoch monopoly playing his political puppets to get this through.

I don’t know whether Australia will reverse this, but I really hope other countries don’t jump on the bandwagon. The reason why the Internet is the internet is because of free information sharing. Having laws that target specific companies for extortion is just dumb.
This was a page in an e-learning system showing student results. It was all calculated on page load and iirc there were a few too many ‘look all these things up for one student at a time’ kind of situations that compounded.

You could cache that information, but you’d need to update it every time someone submits a new result (in this case to a test that can have tens of questions), times 30 students in class, times multiple tests.

In hindsight I think we could maybe have precalculated the results after the last student finished, but that wouldn’t really be worth it for a page that took maybe a few seconds to load.
They at least subscribe to the leftist version of identity politics, which has admittedly become very mainstream, but is still the number one rallying point of the left today.
>Addiction is rooted in truama. It's almost impossible to become an addicted if you didn't have to endure (childhood) trauma.

Sounds like pop psychology. There are tons of extremely addictive substances.

Try one and you will get addicted after a while, even if your whole childhood was hugs and roses and ponies.

Yeah, it sounds a lot like Google is going to "hijack" popular open source projects for the sake of "security".

It'll be interesting to watch how this plays out. But I pity the projects where Google's gaze falls upon.

I'm not sure I follow the logic. A setup where you are not allowed to store a document on a disk of some kind is not going to be friendly to a solution where you instead can store the document on a little microSD card hooked up to a eInk display instead.

If there's a fetish for a "this document is an actual physical object" somewhere (with all the usual security theater about security from theft and alteration), it's not going to be helped by taping eInk to a disk.
They specifically mention rust based backends for curl where the author of curl was funded to integrate as a starting point. I don't see any mention of funding being exclusively for organisations other than the author(s)?
The thing about IP and therefore with IPv6 is it's not just an address format - it's a set of protocols and practices so a lot of it changes.

Address asignment in an IPv6 world is more complicated - you can do DHCPv6, or your can do stateless auto-config. Which should you choose and when? Many other aspects of the stack require more knowledge.

And THEN you ALSO need to understand how v4 and v6 interacts so you can provide suitable compatibility - the various different methods of tunnelling and negotiation.
These things tend to happen on HN - someone discovers something new or new to them and posts something and triggers others to read up on the subject and/or reminds people of related projects, and suddenly you have a slew of submissions about similar things.
The thing with the cafeteria is that it reflects company culture. If you in the office sit at a desk in the Google search engine area or youtube or Waymo is hardly noticable. People have settled in an if the neighboring teams go home at "normal" times, the "startup" team will go home at those times. Also you have a hard time to keep the small team culture when directly embedded. And then corporates encourage changing jobs internal over leaving and hiring somebody else, which means that there are ties on all levels. Pulling out and having your own startup culture is hard. The cafeteria symbolizes that, as it is a social place and culture to large parts is a social thing.
Addiction to smoking is like a mixture of itch and thirst, to a certain extent. You can get other psychological symptoms, like irritability and anxiety, or physical ones, like headache, but mainly it's this continuous need of absorbing the substance, that never goes away. A bit like when you're itching and you can't scratch, or you're thirsty and you can't drink.
Hi hackernews, I have a couple of questions on the potential to undermine existing telcos.

1) what is the theoretical capacity near term of the network in terms of # users per unit area and bit rate per unit area? What do you think the maximum single connection speed using the spectrum they have available?

2) is there potential to increase that capacity in the future? To what level? Perhaps they can develop multi-dish base stations which connect to many satellites at once? Beam forming? Multiple frequencies?

3) is there potential for starlink to offer more density by linking to space in one location and installing a cell phone tower to spread the connection locally? This has potential to drastically cut the cost to the user (standard hardware) and also increase density, but it requires fast single location connectivity to space.

4) has there been an analysis done of which existing telco customers starlink could potentially steal? Which telcos are most exposed? How many customers are in the group that would switch?

5) have you guys considered starlink from the perspective of zero marginal cost per customer acquired, Vs standard cable is high marginal cost per customer acquired? Said another way - all of starlink costs are upfront whether they have 1 customer or 1m customers, but standard telcos need to decide on investing in cable spend on a per customer basis. From this viewpoint have you guys thought about which customers normal telcos will decide to let go to starlink and not invest in new infrastructure in the face of starlink competition?

6) is it likely that Musk is sandbagging the potential capabilities of starlink in order to put cable/Telco companies at ease of the threat in case they look for regulatory protections?

7) have you guys compared starlink services to software services and what the implications of this might be? Software is all upfront in development and then zero marginal. Sounds like starlink may be quite similar. The other telcos are not in this position however (see #5 above).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
So, what's the problem then? Why is using heroin bad?
Here are several replies that might be useful. We're a tiny boutique consultancy specialized in machine learning. Our clients are exclusively large organizations in diverse sectors and industries. Repeat business is common, as once you consistently deliver, they trust you and this compounds. You'll deal with the same people, things move very fast at some point.

Many of them reference or reproduce a Twitter thread at https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/131066829330549965... and add relevant input for the question.

Your experience might be different. You can read the threads where these replies were posted and get more insights.

One way to speed up finding clients is to go meta: do consulting for a consulting company that does something different but complementary/related. This company has clients, and you'll partner to solve problems for their clients. Instead of going after 40 clients, you go after one that has 40 clients.

The link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25760622 addresses the case of NDAs between you (A) and your client (B), and between your client (A) and their client (C), so that you could work on C's problem.

Doing that many projects has lead us to figure out patterns and ramp up on the experience curve, and we then have abstracted several aspects into our "MLOps" platform, https://iko.ai, to be able to deliver faster. This corresponds to the "Abstract" phase in the Twitter thread. You can really do that beforehand (you can see it especially in the machine learning field where some startups with no experience and no prior projects want to improve the tooling and come up with pipelines and what they consider a good way to do things, working on the wrong problems or problems that don't exist. This is dangerous).

I wish I’d see more discussion and analysis like this over the recreational use of anabolic steroids (read: not for professional sports or contests, but rather for physical appearance).

You want to talk about some shit that gets demonized for no reason? Testosterone replacement therapy is legal, but if you decide that you want to use an extra 100mg, suddenly it’s a criminal offense and you are a bad person. For what? Wanting to have bigger biceps or train harder in the gym? What is the alternative? Drink alcohol which has a measurable death rate per year, or smoke some legal cigarettes and second hand smoke poison countless people?
But... he gives no counter-research references to the research he critizices... so I’ll pass on this one.
Time to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine.
> Hart reports that more than 70 percent of drug users—whether they use alcohol, cocaine, prescription medications, or heroin—do not meet the health criteria for drug addiction.

I don't think it's about health criteria. It's about whether you want to add yet another item to things you depend on just to feel normal.

Also, the need is a symptom of a real issue that needs to be addressed instead of just numbed and berried i.e., unhappy at a job or a situation etc that needs to be addressed.
Looks to me like at least 90% of the downsides he's mentioning are shared by every state of the time.

And some are plain wrong. For example he complains that Athenian trials by jury weren't as fair as modern American trials by jury, while conveniently forgetting to mention that few other states even had trials by jury.
I've done this several times, I have a headache for 24-48 hours then pretty much back to normal. Tolerance takes longer to reset obviously and I'm sure I get more energetic in subtle ways I'm unaware of in there... but I don't think it's remotely comparable to a serious addiction, from what I've read tobacco is probably the most widely accepted thing able to cause that level of addiction.
There are numerous ways for anyone to run whatever software they feel like on a iPhone. One of those is literally a application store called AltStore.

https://altstore.io

AltStore lets you run your own app store locally on your own network and push app's to your phone from it.
I bet there are one or two executives who decided it would be this way. They should be named and removed. This is a prime example of an issue with simple hierarchies: the single point of failure.
> Hart strives to “present a more realistic image of the typical drug user: a responsible professional who happens to use drugs in his pursuit of happiness.”

I think this is likely wrong. I guess it partly depends on the definition of a "drug user" (like, does it include alcohol drinkers) but I would be very surprised if most heroin users are responsible professionals - how can you do anything when you're high on heroin? I'd go so far as to say that saying people that are addicted are "typically responsible professionals" is a little disrespectful and downplays the reality of those that are actually afflicted with addiction, as it feels like it's just pushing the "burden" onto the drug user, which reinforces negative stereotypes and makes it harder to get people on the side of treating addiction as a health issue and not a moral failing.
