>the companies themselves are more valuable, because newly founded companies grow faster than they used to.

The added reliance on stock-based compensation combined with higher valuations leads to higher CEO salaries.

This isn't making a case one way or the other about whether this is a fair or sustainable model, just meant to bolster your point about why greater context is needed when discussing executive salaries as a multiple of the individual employee.

There is no correlation between sweet/bitter and safe/poisonous.

Many of the most poisonous berries are sweet. Belladonna is extremely sweet.

Much of what is bitter (basically every non-sweet plant out there) is harmless.

If you judged the safety of food by taste, I’m afraid you wouldn’t last long in the wild.
The US military is a public institution and its purpose is not to make profit, how is this related to private companies and compensations based on private money?
I don't think current physics works below the Planck length. There aren't all that many infinities in physics in general, and where the do pop up, they're problematic.

Whereas in mathematics, infinities are a rich field of research, which goes way beyond anything that could ever be physical.

Besides, the tension doesn't exist, because whether or not spacetime is infinitely subdividable, going a certain distance takes a certain time, and going a fraction of a distance takes a fraction of time. The two series will converge in both the discrete and the continuous scenario.

There's a tendency to use first names to refer to women in professional settings or political power that is somewhat infantilizing and demeaning.

I doubt anyone really deliberately sets out to be like "haha yessss today I shall elide this woman's credentials", but this is one of those unconscious gender-bias things that is commonplace in our society and is probably best to try and make a point of avoiding.

I'd prefer they used "Hopper" instead, in the same way they have chosen to refer to previous architectures by the last names of their namesakes (Maxwell, Pascal, Ampere, Volta, Kepler, Fermi, etc). I'd see that as being more professionally respectful for her contributions.

But yes I very much like the idea of naming it after Hopper.
...and what benefit would exactly an IOMMU bring to a device with no PCIe and which's critical peripherals do not use DMA at all?

IOMMU is vital for devices where e.g. modem is tightly integrated on the SoC and uses the same RAM as your OS. This is not such device. Even if iMX8MQ had an IOMMU, the modem would still be connected to the SoC via USB2.0 and the WiFi card via SDIO, where you don't need an IOMMU to ensure boundaries and where having one wouldn't change anything at all.
They're creating the value, not taking it from others.
Don't get too distracted by the shiny. The ethereum ecosystem is a train wreck. What we see today is the reinvention of the same of scum tricks that Wall Street has played on the people for decades. More printing of funny money, tricks on yield, relending and rehypothication.

This is why Europe eliminated the 500 euro note, and the US doesn't produce bills larger than 100 dollars. The thought is these are largely used be criminals.

Similarly Modi's demonetisation which the intent was to remove black money from the economy. All bills of 500 and 1000 rupee were to become worthless if not exchanged by a certain date.

So they've heard about it.
Exactly. #1 is a big factor--the proper comparison is of CEOs of equal-sized companies. That data is very hard to find because it doesn't support the notion that CEO salary has run away.
His constant defense of high-risk startups also acts as a defense of his own wealth. If you can do it, and deserve wealth for succeeding, I must deserve my wealth for the companies I've founded. I'm not saying one shouldn't be rewarded for founding useful businesses. I'm saying there's a whole lot of mystification, self-mythmaking, and luck involved.

For the average person, being born to a somewhat comfortable family, being able to train yourself into a good career, and being able to save and invest in a mundane way are far safer and comfortable ways to live a good, secure life. The gulf in security between someone like him now, and anyone but the very top percentiles in wealth is literally unimaginable for him, because he doesn't live the reality of an average person. His constant push in this direction is not much more than "let them eat cake", or "let them found startups".
Yea no I've seen plenty of you folks talking about recent innovations in crypto and I'm just not persuaded that any of it is remotely useful other than maybe store of value and certainly speculation.

In the case of the original sandwich maker, Rangos, clearly not. He was making his pimento cheese and selling it in his store before the Masters ever hired him.

In the case of the second sandwich maker, Godfrey, who replaced Rangos and developed his pimento cheese recipe for the Masters, probably not.

First of all, work for hire concerns who owns the copyright to something and recipes are not subject to copyright.

It is possible, though, that there is some expression in the way that he wrote the recipe that could be copyrighted, so let's say the Masters wants to make a work for hire argument that they own the copyright of that.

To be a work for hire, something must either be (1) made by an employee within the scope of their employment, or (2) fall into one of several categories and be declared a work for hire by the parties in a written instrument signed by them.

It doesn't sound like the pimento cheese provider is an employee of the Masters. He sounds more like a contractor. That would take out #1 of the two ways something could be a work for hire.

As far as #2 goes, first they have to explicitly have said in their signed written contract that the expression of the recipe will be a work for hire. That seems unlikely.

But let us say they did, and let us assume that the particular expression of the recipe counts as an instructional text. Let's say that means that the Masters owns the copyright on that particular expression of the underlying, uncopyrighted, recipe.

So what?

That just means they get to stop people from making and distributing copies of that text. It doesn't give them any power to compel someone who has a copy to turn it (or a copy of it) over to them.

Arguably, we do see that happening already today. All developed countries with merit-based immigration systems are essentially contribution to half of this. Not necessarily on purpose, but in effect. Now, realizing that most of western "development aid" achieves the opposite of independent development provides the other half. Again, not necessarily on purpose, but in effect.
The SSPL directly prohibits offering the software as a service without releasing the source code of your entire operation regardless of if you change it or not:

> If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge...

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

AKA someone must be able to create aws.example.com if aws uses SSPL code. Not exactly the 'freedom to run it anywhere'.

The inequality is also being caused by the internet. Before, people would choose a product, restaurant, retailer, service, entertainment, etc based on what was near them. Or what they had a good experience with. Or what their neighbor recommended. But now the internet has pushed everything into what’s “best”. So if a company comes out with a great product or service, it can get huge and popular fast. Same with movies and music, the distribution and popularity travel basically at the speed of light. This is the meme economy and keeps pushing things to the head of the curve, while the tail gets longer and flatter. That then trickles down to the companies/founders/shareholders etc.

I am an instructor at UCI and I made this simulator to help students understand the electrical and mechanical forces involved in a brushless motor. The current version shows the voltage drive signals, current, back EMF and so on to help observe these signals when a motor is driven. In addition, I also added the option to select different poles and slots of a BLDC motor. Any feedback to help me improve or fix an errors is greatly appreciated.
You’re both right, rust-analyzer will become official RLS 2.0.
Think of it as a distributed filesystem with content addressable by hash values. If you want to publish some content instead of posting a torrent file and seeding it, you can announce the content on IPFS to your IPFS peers. Anyone else can now find it by hash (or by name if you use IPNS). If anyone else downloads it, like with a torrent, they'll begin sharing it back out creating redundancy and, potentially, reducing access time for others as more people are sharing it out (imagine you're on a 10Mbps network connection and the only one sharing it versus having 100 others sharing it out, even if they're also all on 10Mbps connections it will be faster). Content can be "pinned" which ensures it remains on your IPFS node, if it's unpinned anything you download will eventually disappear (basically an LRU cache). So if you download the entire run of Dungeon Magazine but don't pin it, it will disappear if you continue downloading content via IPFS when the cache you've set aside for IPFS fills up (eventually). But if you pin it, the content will remain hosted by your node indefinitely, even if no one ever accesses it or pins it again and the original disappears.

Filecoin is a separate thing (mostly), and can (kind of) be thought of as pinning-as-a-service. It's built on a private IPFS network, not the main public one most people use or are directed to. So it's using IPFS, but it is not IPFS.
One implicit idea here is that companies are now also different kinds of things now - they are much smaller and leaner while also making a lot more money - that gives them a very different character to the large, dense and slow moving corporations of a few decades ago (and maybe a lot less accountability too).

Perhaps these big shifts warrant a renewed discussion about the role of new large and lean mega companies in society. Market success can't be the only metric we use to measure the societal value of a company. If it were, tech domination would be the name of the game and companies would devolve into creating software that manipulates users for more revenue in whatever way possible/necessary. On a resource constrained planet, that would be absolute madness.
If you install an alternative distro on the Librem 5, you're already using a different kernel and bootloader; exactly like on a PC. This is not some locked down Android device where that could be considered rocket science.
Let's see. They don't approve for other platform because "they want dartvm to be cross-platform and not hold too much platform dependent code"

Then they proceed adding platform dependent code for their vanity projects like Fuchsia along side their other platform dependent code for not vanity projects like ChromeOS and Android.

IMO Dart is only alive because of Flutter, outside of it, it's dead.
Ask HN: How to monetize a new algorithm for a basic problem?
If I invented a new algorithm that’s 5% faster than current state-of-the-art algorithms for a basic problem, for example sorting an array, how could I turn it into cash?

Ideas that came to my mind:
- join one of FAANG, roll it out fleetwide, save CPU cycles, hope for bonus or promotion,
- turn algorithm into patent, try to license the patent to other companies,
- turn algorithm into patent, try to sell patent,
- hire an IP firm that handles the details of patents and licensing for me and gives me a cut,
- publish scientific article, hope that it grows my reputation, so I get hired in a better position some time in the future (door opener),
- try to find a niche company that benefits disproportionately from such an improvement, work for them/strike a deal with them.
This argument is part of Amazon's PR campaign to tell devs to not feel sorry for Elastic because it's now a big company and they make money in the market. So, if you built a successful OSS and start to make money then it's ethical to clone any OSS and pushes projects out of the market because now it is "Goliath vs Super-Goliath".

It doesn't have to be. I've known over a dozen people working at the FSF over the years, and they _all_ had the same stories about trying to avoid RMS as much as physically possible because of his behavior and how he treated people. At some point we have to stop looking for excuses and start listening to the people who are actually there.

> First it was the Epstein connection

Correction: _Last_ it was the Epstein connection, a straw on a pile of many straws.
I worked years ago at a major cell phone mfg company, and we were comparing vendors (circa 2013-2014) for the voice recognition/transcription software. I remember two of the leading options were SoundHound (dba then as "Hound", which has since gone to market as a voice solution[0]) and Nuance which was a company not many of us had ever heard of.

At the time, Hound actually was very very good at language recognition and impressed everyone quite a bit. Compared to Nuance, the experience of conversing with Hound was better as I remember. However, Nuance had the edge in language support... while Hound was great for Western dialects of English, and some others, Nuance supported Mandarin. End of the day it was no contest which product we had to go with.

I'm not surprised that Nuance had continued to be an industry leader all these years.

It hasn't necessarily been out front-and-center in the mainstream media, but it's definitely something getting talked about in mainstream financial circles routinely. Here's a bit of a partisan source from a quick google search, but it's got a lot of links and citations you can follow up on and I believe it is basically correct in its facts, even if you disagree with the conclusions drawn from them: https://www.newswars.com/cashless-society-democrats-propose-...

It's up to the "trial balloon floated in Congress" point. The trial balloon has so far always been shot down, but it's really only a matter of time. If the government could just push a button and have access to literally every single transaction that occurs, they would certainly do it. They wouldn't even blink.

Also, I want to say, I'm just linking one example. You can follow up with search terms similar to the ones used in that article, and probably find even more mainstream sources discussing it. It's a topic in the air in financial circles.

Edit: Bit more searching, here you go with something much more mainstream, Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/advisor/2020/10/22/the-pandemic...

And again, my main point here is that it is a topic of conversation, not making any particular claims about where we are currently.

Maybe not in single threaded performance, but Apple has no server grade parts. Ampere, for example, is shipping an 80 core ARM N1 processor that puts out some truely impressive multithreaded performance. An M1 Mac is an entirely different market - making a fast 4+4 core laptop processor doesn't neccesarily translate into making a fast 64+ core server processor.

There are a multitude of abandoned structures (including the tall building next to this one, with a life size mockup of Russia's heavy lift rocket).

What do you mean when you say managed services? Because to me managed services are definitely not vendor lock-in because you can self-host most of those services and just migrate your data over.

With regards to permissions, I don't feel like it's possible to permission across an entire platform and not make it difficult to migrate over – do you know of any provider or platform that allows for cross-platform authentication with permissions?
I am not contesting that cash isn’t laundered. I am simply pointing out that whenever someone brings up crypto being utilized for money laundering the first argument is almost always “well cash is also used for money laundering” which is pretty weak. If you knew what people can do to launder money in shitcoins and bitcoins you would not make that argument. There’s a reason why Macau is no longer needed to get money out of China. And there’s a reason why gold is no longer used to move drug cartel money in the past two years.
That can be a big problem for some Pop/Rock bands, in that their fans expect them to play their hits exactly the way they were recorded, down to the exact solos, for decades on end.

In contrast, Jazz vocalists don't get taken as seriously if they reproduce their recordings too exactly, and Jazz instrumentalists don't get taken seriously at all. In that genre, you're expected to bring something new to each performance.
The problem is not reproducibility, but rather omission of data and details without which it is not apparent that alternative explanations are possible.
The D programming language is designed to be conducive to hybrid programming so that C/C++ code can be gradually converted to safer D code as resources permit.

The D compiler itself started out as "C with Classes" and was gradually converted to D, all the while keeping the compiler fully functional. It's now all in D.
The kicker is that all the different iterations of the code ran just fine, the problem was that the product was shit all along.
