Bandcamp offers a subscription service [0] for just this purpose. I've thought about it for one or two, and $5/mo or whatever doesn't sound much, but it pretty quickly adds up across music, newsletters, patreons, etc... i need an aggregator for paying all of my content aggregators.

The paper found that O18 doesn't change the taste to sweet like deuterium does.
There are a lot of freshly minted billionaires in Asia these days so I'd say yes.
>Of course, the story here is refrigeration. When refrigeration was not common place, you needed a lot of breweries near consumption.

Uh beer doesn't have to be refrigerated? England has a long history of drinking warm beer. Hell, they even hopped it up to ship it all the way to india (months!) without it spoiling.
CEO pay is a red herring in respect to income inequality. Companies today are over 6x bigger today than they were in 1989. Even if they got paid 6x more, CEOs as a whole aren't taking any more wealth from the company than they used to. Wealth inequality primarily comes from the concentration of equity. The richest CEOs all make negligible compensation. Bezo's salary is roughly $80k and Zuckerberg's is $1.
Apple Silicon is compatible with the ARM instruction set but they are not "just ARM cores" in their internal design.
Having to use something like Steam (Internet based DRM) to play games effortlessly on Linux seems to beat the purpose. At that point I'd rather just have a separate Windows 10 install where all I do is just gaming.
The problem with your analogy is, that we already have functioning hardware while quantum computers are nowhere near being practicable.

He always said he was different. His statement doesn't evince any new understanding.

He portrays himself as willing to learn. People who worked with him have different stories.[1]

I wonder how permanent this is. As a Nvidian who sells his shares as soon as they vest and who owns some Intel for diversification, I wonder if I should load up on Intel? You really can't compete with their fab availability. Having a great design means nothing unless you can get TSMC to grant you production capacity.
I’ve heard the following multiple times from different people, mostly in regards to other engineering and science fields. I can’t speak to how effective it is personally, though.

It roughly boils down to find a good degree program in subject and try to get information on the curriculum, books involved, etc. and follow it on your own.

Assuming this is all for personal reasons, as there’s no way you’re getting into these fields without having paid up.
What's up with this articles that jump into "facebook is evil" so fast? Its obvious that a huge, worldwide company is slow to address manipulative ads in small communities.
It's so sad but I feel the same. The world would be better off without Twitter. There is no platform that catalysts fringe insania as much as Twitter. It leads to the mainstreaming of extremist options as these don't stay any longer in their gated black holes.
Nothing is deemed true until academia finally arrives at the party.

For example marketing and sales don't exist yet per academia's opinion...
Incorporate yourself and have your salary be paid as management fees to the corporation. Declare those fees as a capital gain and pay 15% tax. Or, have the corporation housed in a tax haven, pay almost nothing in taxes.

Setup a foundation, use that foundation to employ friends or relatives (like say, your wife). Pay out very little in charity but take your donations to the foundation as a tax write off. Etc.
Heavy water exists naturally. It is reasonably common, and since it has a different density there might well be natural or biological processes which might concentrate it...
Facebook is power and control over several billion people and countries across the world. That is superpower level power.

Mark Zuckerberg will never give up that level of power because either he wields that power or someone else will.

Weak countries don’t matter in matters of power and this is an example of it.

Also, Facebook has no issues at all when it comes to manipulation when it is to its benefit. It has done so before.

If you believe that Facebook doesn’t have that power then you must also believe that people aren’t easily manipulated. Advertising is proof against that belief.
If that growing middle class becomes dependent on westerners for employment, they will become westernized. Colonization can be extremely 'peaceful'.
I do think there's a missing ground that is being lost - it was incidental to the publishers but they would provide production, editors, other various things that are seen as "not important".

It takes an exceptionally bright young artist to REALIZE they need those things and go out of their way to find and pay for them. Neither Patreon nor Youtube is going to provide an editor and certainly not force you to use one - no matter how valuable it may be.
It possibly has, at least at an effective rate (by not raising salaries while inflation increases, for example).

The CEO, though, is just one person and it's easy to pay a single person a lot of money.

In a company of 100,000 people, an extra $5,000,000 would only increase their salaries by 50 each; but, it could all go to the CEO and look gigantic.
What if you start your own dev blog?
In perl you would want to use `or` instead of `||` to take advantage of the low precedence, so you can type things like `dostuff $foo or die` which is logically 'do stuff, and if it fails, die' as opposed to 'die if $foo is false', which you'd get with ||
I think that's missing the forest for the trees. The license is designed to prevent hosting providers from selling the software as a service to their customers. The requirement to open source their entire infrastructure and operations is just a means to do that.
Sadly, a lot of junior and medior programmers see that as a wrong pattern, and opt for a return variable.. Drives me nuts.
More like $200 if you want Pro (retail) license and still get the same ads. I find it completely unacceptable.
>"To truly serve the public conversation, we must be more immersed in the rich and vibrant communities that drive the conversations taking place every day across the African continent."

So they correctly acknowledge that those communities are already engaged in conversations. How does encouraging these same folks to Tweet at each other improve upon the way they are already conversing? Twitter seems to have appropriated the word "conversation" the same way Facebook has done for the word "friend". That is to say completely redefined it to suit their own business objectives.

I'm glad they're hiring in Africa. There's tons of really smart people there doing interesting things. It's also a very young place per capita. Why couldn't they just say as much though and leave it at that? Instead they decided couch the whole thing in this cringeworthy bit of "noblesse oblige."
TLDR: CEOs are wildly better paid nowadays, compared to decades ago, via mechanism X, as opposed to mechanism Y. Both X and Y ultimately deliver money.
> Whatever your stance on cryptocurrencies are, what is of little dispute is the business opportunities they have created. Binance and Coinbase are large, successful companies. Poloniex was sold for ~400M.

I find this argument a little weird, because I think we can all agree that bubbles and fad tech isn't really great for society as a whole. If you believe cryptocurrencies aren't a fad and actually provide useful benefits to real people (which does not include "we built a company that does crypto stuff and made a bunch of money"), then ok, fair opinion, but I don't share that view. To me it just looks like a big house of cards built on something that is fundamentally not that useful or valuable, but is propped up mainly by speculation. Building a company on top of it that is sold for $400M is great for the founders and investors in that company, but doesn't mean that crypto itself is useful for society.

I apply this to other things, too... there are ton of lucrative, successful businesses built on top of and around internet advertising, but I think that entire ecosystem is a huge net negative for society.
When was this and what were the issues?
Like they care
As a greek person, for whom the word 'peripeteia' is totally mundane, I was very suprised to see it used in English in such a literary fashion. Thanks for that!
Maybe this is a wrong thinking, but sometimes I feel like big tech companies would be able to grow their profit faster by not increasing the amount of engineers so aggressively instead of the salary of great engineers (and kicking out engineers who are just good). At Google I felt that over time it was harder to make any change because of the huge overcomplicated code base for example (the scary part though is that I'm more a good engineer, I had seen much better SWEs around myself).
You’re Not Crazy. Money Is.
I don't think it's the freedom to run it anywhere. It's the freedom to run it anywhere and make changes to it that you don't contribute back:

1. Amazon wants to make private changes to the management layer for their cloud offering and not share those.

2. ES doesn't want that, so the 7.11+ license restricts it.

3. Amazon doesn't want to have to explain to their customers why their ES offering is stuck on v7.10, so they're changing the name of it.

4. Elastic was really hoping this wouldn't happen, but they overestimated the value of their brand and Amazon called their bluff.

So yeah, nominally OpenSearch is unrestricted, but realistically few other entities are in a position to make or benefit from the private modifications Amazon will be making. For us normal people, ES and OS are equivalent today, so it's more about how they're going to diverge over time in terms of fixes, features, whatever.
It's only different if you don't treat objects as immutable.
$NUAN's spike from $45 on Friday makes sense. However, I'm having trouble figuring out why they currently trade at ~$53 given that the market knows that Microsoft will pay $56 for each share. (https://news.microsoft.com/2021/04/12/microsoft-accelerates-...)

Any ideas on why that is?
No there won’t. The only reason why there was an anti-trust case against MSFT back in the day was because MSFT was too busy making and neglected to do political “contributions”.

Silicon Valley took noticed and now they are the top political “contributors”.
Really don't get where you're coming from, that quote is two paragraphs after the mention of many other companies, where he's clearly implying the concentration of wealth in the hands of the founders and investors is the detriment.
Traditional tech innovation was predicated on doing things more efficiently (sometimes orders of magnitude more efficiently) using new technology, thus disrupting incumbents. Blockchain reverses this completely by doing simple things, like changing numbers in a database, for orders of magnitude more computational (energy) cost. Until someone squares this circle I will continue to be skeptical.
Just 35 hours from Seattle to Los Angeles. And we've already established that high speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles is beyond our capacity as a civilization.
This just reads like a politician got caught in corruption and trying to find excuses and putting himself as the victim. Nothing really changed, nothing except promises and FSF still tried to sneak in RMS and got caught.
Is there really? I worked at Intrade when I was in college. It was messy internally but a great concept. Pity the US Gov smashed it. It had a lot of potential.
I think I used the wrong word, I meant to say this is likely going to become another wasted effort for something people aren't going to use much or at all.
Well that's possible, but doesn't add any additional security and has the negative effect that users can't see where they have scanned into on their device (e.g. on the NHS app you can go to 'venue data' and see where you have logged into).

If one of your user stories involves users being able to see the names/addresses of venue's they have visited, you will either need to store the venue name in the QR code or do a lookup.
California Science Center is pretty good too, if you are on the left coast.
So you’d rather me be able to purchase information about everything you’ve done, down to your gps location from five minutes ago? Even “anonymized” data is trivially easy to de-anonymize with publicly available information. It makes me shudder to think how many apps (like weather channel) are on everyone’s phones that allow companies to sell your current location to the highest bidder. It’s shockingly pervasive.
And certain languages allow:

return nil if n.nil?
So you included it as a moot point? That doesn't make any sense.
Disclaimer: above commenter is with Purism.

See how easy that was?

Oh, and telling people not to read resources and decide for themselves is questionable behavior.

Doing it without being up front about who you are just makes it rude.
He means cores made by ARM, not cores implementing the ARM ISA. Currently, the cores designed by ARM cannot touch the Apple M1.
as a ~40yr old it feels like the greatest disappointment of my generation is that most of our brain power went towards making better spyware, click tracking, etc, all in the name of maximizing ad revenue and click through.
I've seen some companies hire more engineers simply to become "IPO ready". Seems like aggressive hiring is a result of a maladaptive goal.
My favorite software engineering books as of 2021
Indeed that is likely but I wonder why didn't they at least require a Developer's Cerificate of Origin [0] that kernel.org uses. This is really lightweight (just append one line to git commit message) and supposedly provides a minimum legal base for the change. IANAL.

There's no overwriting stubs in MacOS. With SIP enabled, not even root can write into /usr (the apple stub is /usr/bin/git).

Many users use git from homebrew; once you do 'brew install git', the stub won't bother you, despite homebrew not overwriting anything. It is just earlier in the $PATH. And that's the issue with Windows: the standard installer does create python3.exe, it is just later in the %PATH%, because Microsoft placed the stub in one of the early directories. Normal, well behaved installer, which places its entry at the end won't be able to override anything.

Ask HN: ML APIs for non-English languages?
Hi all,

Do you know a startup that provides ML APIs for non-English languages, preferably Lithuanian and other Eastern European ones? We need NLP (e.g. syntax analysis), translation (better than Google), and text-to-speech.

I know that some startups provide TTS which can't be distinguished from humans, but so far I've seen only English language support. We need something that doesn't sound like a bored Siri.
Muon-Catalyzed Fusion [1].

Briefly it's a genuine, and scientifically uncontroversial, form of 'cold' fusion enabled by muons — a more massive relative of the electron that was in the news recently thanks to the potentially interesting results coming out of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab [2].

Like conventional 'hot' plasma fusion, in all experiments to date the energy input needed to sustain the process has exceeded the output, but it may be possible to use it to generate power. Unlike conventional fusion though, it receives relatively little attention, and there is no well-funded international effort to tackle the associated technical challenges. As with conventional fusion the technical challenges seem formidable, but it could be an interesting technology if a way could be found to make it work.

Listeners of Lex Fridman's podcast may recall that it was briefly mentioned in the episode he made last year with his father, Alexander Fridman, who is a plasma physicist [3]. As someone who has been interested in the idea for years and barely hears any mention of it, I was pleasantly surprised it came up.

It was also covered on the MinutePhysics YouTube channel in 2018 [4].

Bonus fact: Muon-Catalyzed fusion was first demonstrated by the Nobel laureate Luis Alvarez, who, with his geologist son Walter Alvarez, later proposed the 'Alvarez hypothesis' for the extinction of the dinosaurs by asteroid impact.
> one hard-to-replicate factor is that they designed their hardware and software together, the ops which MacOS uses often are heavily optimized on chip.

Not really, they are still just using the same ARM ISA as everyone else. The only hardware/software integration magic of the M1 so far seems to be the x86 memory model emulation mode, which others could definitely replicate.

> but one factor that you can replicate is colocating memory, CPU, and GPU, the system-on-chip architecture.

AMD introduced that in the x86 world back in 2013 with their Kavari APU ( https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-closer-look-at-amds-heteroge... ), and it's been fairly typical since then for on-die integrated GPUs on all ISAs.
This is not a problem with PGP. This is a problem with an application of PGP.
There was also the purely physical qualification that he was only 157 cm tall. Size matters when sending payloads to space.
Main substance left in the mist.

"Founders" and their trailers, are picked up and trusted to the sun because there is nothing else left to do with worthless money, to ride the inequality of the "investors" to u-p-p for free.

Loggerheads as Leon Musk might be "rich" but not in charge, and second tier as come to power. If one looks down to the Footlocker crowd, anything can mean "rich". The third dimension Sherlock of the article, time, how long will they last?

The author has a serious agenda to prone, or must be mentally incapacitated to not see ":)", after hoovering that long above the evidenced. Forbes?! what gives. Hard assets in time are still the only measure of value as to any group, cast, clan in existence!
It's more like source code, but anyway the vendor was presumably under contract which did not include divulging the recipe.

I wonder if they could have sued to recover the recipe as a "work for hire", where typically the employer is the owner of the work product. The law covers "instructional text" which sounds like a recipe to me.

https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf

It depends on the nature of the original agreement, whether the recipe was created especially and exclusively for the event, or the vendor developed it on their own time.

> This is impossible - the fine would have to be absurdly high to matter

Fines here are proportional to profits, so it would be absurdly high for Facebook.

> and if they disabled their business in the EU there would be riots.

Not really. In the last five years I've seen an ever growing anti American sentiment around here. I guess it's because all the antics that were coming from the angry Cheeto.

America is now seen as unstable and unreliable. The sentiment around here is basically (generally speaking): "and what happens of they decide to elect (another) Trump again?"
“According to Google, YouTube receives hundreds of reports per day from users who complain that video plays without audio on desktop and 95% of reports come alone from Windows users.“

“ Microsoft Windows is the dominating desktop operating system (OS) worldwide as of December 2020, with a share of 76.56 percent.”
When you hear "CEO" most people think of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates - famous CEOs that are the face of their company. The vast VAST majority are not famous nor even the face of the company.
As you point out the questioning was about trafficking, not about whether or not she went through with sex in that specific case.

You're inventing an interpretation that is possible but that there is no supporting evidence for.

You're free to believe he had sex with her, of course. It is possible he did.

But when you're claiming there is 'credibly accused' when no clear allegation has even been made, you're being dishonest.
The example shouldn’t be compared to esleif, that’s not how switches work.

Also, because it throws you can just use if, without a block. Or use if at the end of the line if your language supports that.

Way cleaner (less indentation), and less error prone. Switch statements only exist because of the underlying assembly/opcode.

It just as bad as goto, because it IS goto. The cases are goto-labels. It behaves like goto, and will simply generate the same JE/JNE jumps
Deploy "Sort by Controversial"? https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/
Pricing in a small chance that the acquisition won't go through (maybe due to FTC clearance, but could be other due diligence related items).
Kinda blocked on the compatibility front after the 4.0 API though, eh?
It is talked about in Thunderf00t's video. You essentially need to drink only heavy water for a week for it to be a problem. It is one of the least effective and most expensive way of poisoning yourself.

But the most interesting part is when they tested it on mice. Mice are small and it doesn't take that much for heavy water to start having an effect. And what they noticed is that after some time, mice shunned the heavy water in favor of regular (light) water. Suggesting that mice are able to taste and recognize heavy water as harmful.

By the way, that video is excellent. Thunderf00t is a troll, but when he stops ranting and starts doing science, he makes really great content.
People from the US are sending crypto abroad to feed their families.
Isn't salary a "red herring" in CEO compensation? I know that you know this but I'll remind you. It's mainly stock options/shares, not the $1 or $80k salary lol
RIP Elastic
To me, it seems preferable to the alternative: a brain drain towards a few tech hubs in the West.
Aligned with our existing WFH policies, we look forward to welcoming and onboarding our new team members remotely so that we can make an immediate impact while we explore the opportunity to open an office in Ghana in the future.

Why Ghana?

As a champion for democracy, Ghana is a supporter of free speech, online freedom, and the Open Internet, of which Twitter is also an advocate.

I'm impressed with how much they have thought about some of the logistics here. If you are running a business and trying to learn how to grow bigger, this is something to pay attention to and contemplate.
I don't disagree really - and the president issue is somewhat separate given its political nature and obvious historical context.

As I said, I agree in the common case - I just see people generalize and include in their examples people that contradict them (Bezos, arguably Musk too).

Extreme outliers are often outliers in more ways than one.
Big Data, Big AI, what's next? Big Bullshit?
The Elastic website has a dedicated page to explain: https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elasticsearch

"Elasticsearch is a distributed, free and open search and analytics engine for all types of data, including textual, numerical, geospatial, structured, and unstructured. Elasticsearch is built on Apache Lucene and was first released in 2010..."

I suggest understanding what it is first before comparing it to other databases.
