>is that these companies will simply hollow ARM out (slash R&D, cut staff etc) to pump up the target’s value, before flogging it off or breaking it up.

Given that you were a semiconductor executive in a global MNC, may I ask, How?

Now correct me if I am wrong. The whole ARM business model was built on the foundation they dont and will not / could not squeeze you out once they dominate. They are British, not acting like some Giant Tech companies you have across the pond. You also get the option to buy perpetual ARM license in various form, including ISA and Design in case you are not comfortable. i.e There is very little they could do to pump up their value. Cutting Opex doesn't do that.

The whole business model is so well designed to the point it doesn't make sense not to sell to SoftBank when they put in that ridiculously high offer. (Purely from a Financial perspective)

As with the case of TSMC, both ARM and TSMC were not supposed to be in the spotlight. They are the backend enabler of the industry. And they want their customer to get the attention and focus, while they are doing the old boring work. All of that changed when Apple jumped into the picture.

Sure, but it not clear how that is relevant to the comment you are replying to.
I never copy/paste directly but I try to understand what’s going on. It seems there are two kinds of devs: some that just want things get done and others what want to understand. The people who just want get things done will probably be happy copying some code verbatim.
"That's what people mean by digital currency."

So often not though. Money without oversight will instantly attract the most nefarious users that governments don't like, so it's unlikely anything a government would propose is going to very easily allow things to happen without some kind of regulatory control.

It's hard to fathom exactly what the point would be, because even the benefit of reducing VISA style transaction taxes from the current 2.5% to about 0.1% (which is where it should be) would incur the wrath of the institutions that make money from that and sponsor centre-right politicians in the UK.

It's too early to tell, it could just be a political football for now, something to talk about, get attention, distract us etc..
I'm surprised to see so many with agendas on here.. and by that I mean, blaming Apple.

need we be reminded, Parler was used as a comms app for incredibly unsavory speech (being polite), and ultimately as an aid to some who wanted to try to overthrow the elected govt of the USA, not to mention calling for the Hanging/Murder of the Vice President of the USA (Its funny how the Law and Order group want rules bent for their own little adventures.)

Free speech is one thing, but there's consequences for some of that "speech", and getting kicked of the apple platform is a fitting, if ludicrously light punishment for what was accepted as "speech" on Parler.

Do you guys have any helpful mental models for becoming more efficient in the process of finding the root cause of a defect?

Progress requires transforming it into a discussion of police efficacy.

The problem is, once you look at it as a problem of efficacy, it becomes pretty obvious that police killings are already quite rare compared to other failures of policing. There are around 15,000 murders a year in the US, and around 50 cases where a police officer kills an unarmed person. If you are purely concerned with the statistical impact of the police, it makes a lot more sense to focus on how the police can prevent more crimes, rather than focusing on how the police can kill fewer people.

There is an argument that hiring more police will reduce crime. But hiring more police is expensive. Perhaps we could save money by training police officers less, and use the money saved to hire more police officers. One cost of that could be an increased rate of police mistakenly killing people. But if it reduces crime, perhaps that is worth it. Or perhaps not, perhaps the answer simply is better police training.

As you say, this topic almost always turns into a culture war. I don't think many people on either side are willing to take a neutral view, like one life equals one life whether it's someone shot by the police, or someone shot by a random civilian, or someone dying of the flu. I believe once people do take a neutral view they will realize that police killings should be deprioritized as an issue because they are not very frequent.
This is easier than you are making it. The right majority has gone off the deep end. The farthest left minority would jack up taxes substantially. The left moderate majority would increase taxes somewhat in a way that leads to long term prosperity.

Allowing the right to take the country on the crazy train to moral and economic destitution is bad for business and the furthest left are a manageable risk. The smart money is in on supporting moderate right and blue majority.
I forgot my password for a credit union back in the day (before I started using a password manager as we all have so many online accounts now). I clicked the "Forgot password?" button... and they sent my original damn password back to me, in email. There are just so many things wrong with that. I complained, actually talked to their "technical people" and explained the awfulness of it, then moved all my money out of that credit union. They did change how it reset later, as another member had told me, but I bet they still stored the plain text password. I was seriously angry with their awful security.
The US has more to loose by people ignoring IP laws imo.
We were using them for DNS hosting as well as a registrar. About 6 or so years ago suddenly all of our sites went down.

A quick look showed their nameservers were returning completely incorrect records for all of our domains (e.g., the A record for each domain resolved to a bunch of different IPs that were not ours and seemed to be other customers').

They had no status page to indicate there was/wasn't any issues. I contacted support and they said it was resolved but wouldn't tell us what or why it happened.

When we started transferring domains out, sales contacted us and asked what was going on. They had no idea what we were talking about when I explained what happened. I asked them if they could provide any more information, or if the company would be publishing an incident report. They contacted some tech teams and said all they could tell us was that it was fixed and wouldn't happen again.

The issue itself wasn't so much of concern as the complete lack of transparency or communication.

No idea if things have gotten better since because there are about a zillion options for registrars and DNS hosting so I've had no reason to go back.
Not really though, are they? Inflation is the loss of value of a currency over time, while counterfeiting is a basic form of fraud where someone claims they have more money than they have.

You could say that money printing and counterfeiting are similar things on opposite sides of the law. But that is still a shallow, high-school level understanding. When a con artist pays for things with counterfeit money they don't typically invest this back into the economy and produce more value, so counterfeiting is virtually guaranteed to produce inflation if it is not curtailed.

But governments print money in huge quantities all the time with minimal inflation.

Condensation requires energy input, or a considerable change in temperature.

Hot air can hold a lot of moisture, cold air can hold less. Water condenses on surfaces when the air cools down to the point that air would have to carry more water than it can at the new temperature.

Problem with that: it only works great in very humid areas. If you're in a desert, and have 10% humidity, you have to cool down your air by a lot for it to become too saturated and condensation to happen. Not enough cooling, and the moisture stays in the air.
One place I worked at had a policy that you couldn't use any password within your 10 most recent passwords. So when it came time to change they would do 10 password resets in succession so that they could use their original password and never have to remember a new one.
The Java language is proprietary to Oracle. Oracle lost their lawsuit with Google with the SCOTUS finding that Google's use of some declarative code was "fair use". Oracle's license requirements and its litigious history is enough for me to not want to use Java in a product setting.

I personally find the Java language cumbersome and the type system constraining. These days my preferred languages are Python, Go, and C. In my experience, Java is not a good choice for exploratory programming where adapting old code to new use takes significant repurposing effort.

Cheers. FWIW it's not about "need" as much as it's about leverage. They'll keep asking "how much faster can we grow if we take in this much more funding from outsiders?" There is such a thing as too fast too, which they've found before, so it's about finding the right balance.
Looks like that article may be out of date, according to experian [1] 4 states completely disallow using credit scores to set auto insurance rates, and 3 more restrict it.
However, this is still significantly more than "some states"

After seeing tom7 video I'm now terribly curious on what a 'more uppercase' font would look like
Why should we have to register for demos? It's the web, let anybody run the demos. What are they protecting?
That's correct. PCI DSS section 8.2.4(a) requires that passwords are changed at least every 90 days.

Other requirements from the same section: retain old passwords to disallow dupes for at least 5 cycles, passwords must be minimum 7 chars, and contain both alpha and numeric.

You might be able to justify non-compliance with a compensating control, but I've never heard of anyone who tried it.

Note that this only applies to employees who are in PCI scope. Most internal staff are not, and should not be!

Similar policies are common for all users though. They pre-date PCI (which is how they became part of PCI DSS) and now PCI's retention of these policies justifies continued use elsewhere. The tail wags the dog.
Don't forget that on Android, Google will sync all contacts with their servers without asking the user to install an application (the Play Store have access to all contacts and will sync them with the Google account when logging into the Play Store... which is inevitable on Android).

The protection must be set higher up (the law, I guess) since the operating system has become spyware.
I'd also suggest people making these requests to try and expand their interests to make themselves more rounded and valuable. For example I'm totally the kind of person that likes to jump from one thing to another cause I like the challenge and I get bored quick otherwise. But instead of jumping ship cause the challenge is gone I try to find a different closely related challenge.

Here's a couple of techniques for anyone looking to do the same:

1. Look at the 'supply chain' of inputs and outputs from your problem area. Are there new inefficiencies somewhere in the stack that you can dig into and solve, and leverage your new knowledge. This could mean a whole new area of things to learn in order to investigate or solve those problems.

2. Never accept the status quo. Every time you're asked to do something else, treat that as an opportunity to find one thing that you can improve in the related systems. Here you'll learn the new system, but you'll also learn how to pick worthwhile areas for improvement.

3. Be reflective and review what you found interesting and what you didn't and dig into the ones you didn't find interesting. Ask yourself why you didn't like things; was it cause it was too difficult to pick up? was it cause you don't like people problems? was it just too big a problem to tackle? Dig in more and ask why again (like the Toyota 5 Whys). Eventually you should be able to find a problem area that you can clearly define and potentially work on to improve.

I realize these 3 techniques won't necessarily lead to 'cool tech problems', but that's kinda the point! If you can get yourself interested in solving related problem areas, you'll find you pick up a lot of useful knowledge and value that you can apply in many other areas you wouldn't have first thought of, all while always jumping between things and not getting bored!

Don't the police already use kid gloves to handle most of the situations? I've been watching livestreams of these for a solid year now and that seems to be a common theme: the police are in general far nicer and accommodating than they could be or even should be.

The dramatic brush you're painting this with is extremely unrealistic.
It is about giving more control to central bankers.

Going fully cashless will make negative rates impossible to avoid. UBI can be more specifically targeted as well.

Battery-powered helicopter designs don't really scale on Mars any better than they do here on Earth. At higher vehicle masses, you'd need larger/heavier motors to get the larger/heavier blades turning as quickly as they'd need to (and in much lighter air than we have here).

Ask HN: How do I get over the fear of launching?
For what now feels like an eternity, I've been working on my personal project.
I've spent an insane amount of time and effort on it. I've built a number of features and I finally have a design I'm happy with.
I think it's fair to say "I have a working MVP"... But I seem to have this fear of reaching out to people.

Despite having a basic set of features that make it usable, there are still a ton more that I feel would make it "more complete". So I convince myself "I'll just add this extra feature/design tweak and then I'll try reaching out" and I never do because I always find the next thing that "needs to be done".

My app is in the menswear space - I built it as a tool to help me experiment with matching clothes and finding new combinations for clothes I already owned.
I know a good avenue would be to reach out to fashion bloggers and see what they think of it.
However, knowing there are still a lot of features I want to add, I keep talking myself out of it. I have a fear that if I reach out and they don't like it I may burn that bridge.

I have reached out to a few people who came back with positive feedback along the lines "It looks really good and could be useful" but I know in order for it to be truly useful there needs to be a bit of a community to share creations. So not quite sure how to follow up from there. I'm worried if I ask them to create content and there aren't other users to interact, they might try it once and then abandon it.

I guess this post is a shot in the dark to try figure out if fears of "burnt bridges" are legitimate concerns and if anyone else has had this fear of launching and how they managed to overcome it.
Regarding building a community, I could create fake content and "fake it till I make it", but that feels slightly disingenuous and I'm worried this will be another "just one more feature" trap.

I've struggled with this for a while, so really hoping someone might have some good advice they'd be willing to share:)

So, Facebook is allowed to not only determine what is 'true' and 'untrue', on their platform, thereby giving certain news agencies essential monopolies on their platform and they're giving money to these organizations.

> Vilifying it whenever it happens is potentially dangerous and we should really wait to level these accusations until there is actual evidence of wrongdoing.

Everything makes sense except for this. The fact that a business model being broken has caused standards to slip isn't a reason not to point out slipped standards.

Also, the fallacy that there will always be some physical evidence of corruption has to die. Every single business or agency I have ever worked for has formal and informal policies about what can be spoken about in media that has a retention policy, especially if they were liable to FOIA requests. The only way you get evidence of that stuff is through making secret recordings (which is why people don't talk on the phone about this stuff either.)

It's the appearance of corruption that should be penalized, not the ephemeral evidence of it.
Yeh, for me, it's the eye strain from my eyes trying to "focus" on an image that's already focussed (and impossible to resolve the way my brain thinks it should be). This is similar to the Buscemi-with-four-eyes picture[1] - it tricks your eyes into continually changing focal distance in an attempt bring the picture into focus. It is physically straining your eye muscles.

Schwab used to do the "silently truncate to 8 chars" fail, but they _also_ silently changed all chars to upper/lower so the password was case insensitive.

I've seen similar banding in some tests when I had set analog gain to 1.0 on a warm night. With analog gain set to 16.0 and Peltier cooler attached to back of camera PCB it was gone.

My guess is that IMX477 does some software de-noise that causes banding. I tested this guess by calculating power spectrum of a dark frame and there was noticeable drop in higher frequencies. Unfortunately, even disabling hot-pixel detection did not help. I did not investigate it further.
It feels extremely negligent of third party auditors to recommend (and sometimes require) companies to enforce worse, obsolete security practice.

I wonder if Microsoft employees (all or portions) have to rotate their passwords due to PCI compliance despite Microsoft's stance on the subject.
Microsoft's approach now is to recommend using Managed Service Accounts, which is an Active Directory feature in modern Windows servers. They rotate their own passwords through some sort of magic. That being said, plenty of janky old Windows apps won't work with them anyways.
Why is work organized around Apps?
To illustrate - email has its own folder structure, slack has its own channels, confluence has its own pages and jira dances to a different tune. A better way to organize work would be around topics that are important to us, while these apps are relegated to the background.

My prediction (extrapolating from other large human-built systems) is that the infrastructure of the web will evolve into a soft bifurcation of companies that can leverage centralized Cloud infrastructure and companies that can't (for whatever reason... Infrastructural load too weirdly shaped, application too risky for service providers to want to sign off on it, pissed off the wrong people, etc.). People in the out-group will build more ad-hoc infrastructure for serving their needs, and we'll have a bifurcation into basically the "cleanweb" and the "trashweb" that will somehow (probably by URL shape) bubble up into the view of the end-user.

Things on the cleanweb will be average, safe, and predictable. Various deviations from user expectation will be punished (up to and including having your service provider yank a piece of your service Jenga tower out from under you if they're irritated enough about the offense).

The trashweb will spawn some serious beauty and truly novel things and an awful, awful lot of scams, hatred, illegal transactions, and garbage.

And most people will constrain themselves to the cleanweb but the trashweb will see a robust userbase.
I have worked for several companies where when I started they actively promoted this practice to make it "easier" for devs to "fix" things.

Why should UI's and their API's be tied to specific programming languages? What's needed is an an interactive stateful GUI markup language that supports the common GUI idioms. (At least in the domain of business CRUD.)

Rather than start from scratch, perhaps the "GUI browser" can be based on the Tk or Qt ui kits, since they are road-tested and exist.
That same level of observation leads to thinking that vaccines cause autism. We shouldn't ignore our eyes, but neither should we trust them blindly.
