It's in it's infancy. In two decades we will know what it means to us as mankind.

Cars were also dangerous, unregulated, expensive and excessively polluting. It got a lot better on all these points, and not all due to the cars: some of it was a mind shift that mankind had to make.

Same will hold true for cryptocurrency.
> I don't see how an exchange is making money unless it charges ++% pr. transaction

As far as I know, they all do. An exchange's users foot the bill (plus a premium) for on-chain transaction fees if they want to withdraw their coins to a private wallet. But not only that, the real money is in fees for trading coins on the exchange. You slap a little bitty 0.25% fee on every trade, and all of a sudden the jillions of day-traders trying to make money swapping BTC for DOGE or whatever other altcoin-of-the-day and back are a firehose of cash. Those trades are just taking place in your database, not on-chain, so your costs for servicing them are tiny.

Running an exchange should be like running a casino: a license to print money. Of course, stealing all the money on the table at once is tempting too...
Yea and the martial law in muslim states surely is what a non-authoritarian government would do.
Thanks for the info!

> But some weeds, like invasive blackberries here in the Pacific Northwest, are extremely resilient and will shrug off defoliation.

How does that work? I thought all plants (by definition?) need photosynthesis to stay alive in non-dormant states.

Do blackberry plants have some way of getting energy other than photosynthesis in their leaves?
What kind of Mickey Mouse start-up is that? CEO cash pay should be low and stock pay high.

CEOs aren't paid for the day-to-day value they provide to the company. They're paid for the long-term, strategic value the owners think they might provide the company in comparison to other candidates. So if you think CEO Candidate X will make you a 3x return on your investment, but CEO Candidate Y will make you a 5x return, it's almost certainly worth it to pay him/her the extra $200K to get you there, if that's the market demand. You're paying for experience, contact network, etc. in a job like that much more than you are how many widgets they can produce on an assembly line.

So it seems that the idea that a CEO could be automated misses the point of what CEOs do and how they get hired.
I appreciate you downloading it and testing it out!

This sounds like a bug, please open a Github issue and I'll investigate.
don't think of a "luddite" comment, but, apart some online tool, like websequencediagrams or drawio, I find a necessity to just doodle some informal diagrams with pen and paper, mostly to understand the "hi-level" architecture of a solution (where "hi-level" spans from source modules dependencies to microservices / db dependencies to "macro" stuff)
Think of it as a 3D sphere instead. You would get a shielding effect.

> he wrongfully alleged that Aditya was knowingly contributing bugs to the kernel, when he was only reporting results from a static analysis research tool.

From GKH's response to Pakki's claims:

They obviously were _NOT_ created by a static analysis tool that is of any intelligence, as they all are the result of totally different patterns, and all of which are obviously not even fixing anything at all. So what am I supposed to think here, other than that you and your group are continuing to experiment on the kernel community developers by sending such nonsense patches?

When submitting patches created by a tool, everyone who does so submits them with wording like "found by tool XXX, we are not sure if this is correct or not, please advise." which is NOT what you did here at all. You were not asking for help, you were claiming that these were legitimate fixes, which you KNEW to be incorrect.

A few minutes with anyone with the semblance of knowledge of C can see that your submissions do NOT do anything at all, so to think that a tool created them, and then that you thought they were a valid "fix" is totally negligent on your part, not ours. You are the one at fault, it is not our job to be the test subjects of a tool you create.

Thank you to share your anecdata. If I might speculate... perhaps the person's background check showed a previous trust issue. Example: Recently (last 3-5 years) convicted of theft. Or dismissed from a job for theft. If the person was convicted of something unrelated to trust -- had a fight at a bar or drink driving -- it could be overlooked. (Or more charitably, if the trust issue [theft] was related to a drug addiction many years ago, and the person had received treatment, it could be overlooked.)

I agree: Many items in the background check are ridiculous. Many years ago, I worked at a company where many of the Big Shots were regular, recreational cocaine users (confirmed by juniors who went bar hopping with them once a week). All new employees were required to pass drug tests. It was absurd. In that era, even marijuana was enough to have a job offer withdrawn.

> Why is paying them less not seen as an option?

I don't understand - do you think companies are voluntarily paying them money that they don't have to?

If you won't pay them what they want they'll go elsewhere to someone that will.

Just like you would, I presume.
It's probably a cheaper idea too, well in terms of development costs. The trade off is that it'll take longer to prove out. Just get a farm and a good enough lab for goat/sheep/chinchilla/etc germ-line modification and prove it out over a few generations. Minus the salary and feed costs, it'll probably be less than the laser itself.

Granted, that's just a billion dollar idea. The multi-billion dollar idea is, as you said, to modify the animal and the plant together. The goats hate some taste in the corn, and the corn produces the taste such that humans cannot taste it. Maybe it'll ripen after harvest and the taste will lessen. I dunno. This way you can double-dip and charge the farmers on the new plant varietals and the goats. Bonus points if you can modify the goats to produce milk that's got vitamin-D in it or something.

I've seen this set-up in Victoria and SA before. The goats eat the grasses/weeds that grow in-between the grapes of vineyards. I've no idea if the goats eat the grapes every once in a while. The wine grapes are pretty sour and bitter to us humans at least.

It would be very 'green' overall.
Which is exactly why nobody should encourage trying to get out of jury duty: the legal system depends on everyone doing their civic duty so juries represent the community.

If you jokingly imply that jury duty is for suckers, you’re undercutting the system and supporting bad outcomes. For example, one of the few checks on the drug war or bad policing has been juries refusing to accept bad police work.
I don't understand why there are 2 slightly different websites. Both are good, just with minor changes to the fonts and spacing.
> Presumably because the market dictates their salary

Ahh yes, when the "market" is primarily made up of other CEOs (i.e. who sit on corporate boards), whose primary vested interested is to ensure CEO salaries stay astronomically high.
> I've seen multiple startups struggle because their CEO makes more than 10 qualified technical staff,

The fully loaded cost of a qualified developer begins in the six figures. A CEO earning 10x that would be earning 7 figures.

I've never seen an actual startup with a CEO earning 7 figure cash compensation. I don't think any reasonable investors or even board members would allow that.

Startup CEOs are largely compensated in equity, with their cash compensation being significant ($100-200K if company has revenue) but not overwhelming. They're often not the highest paid person in the company in terms of cash + bonus.

I grant solid state is more reliable, but when it fails it's often a replace not repair situation, which could be more expensive.

And the lasers will still have moving parts right? They have to aim themselves at the weeds.
In Medium's defense, the idea is that, if you want to go ad-free while still being able to pay content creators anything at all, you need some other revenue source, and, as far as I can tell, the only other option that's seen any success at scale is paywalls. There's a pretty direct in, in one breath, complaining about paying for authors' work, and also complaining that authors don't get paid enough for their work.

(Before someone mentions Patreon or Tippee - both of those are platforms for erecting paywalls.)
The AI that makes Google work is not the algorithms they use to index the web its AdWords which uses a general purpose algorithm to auction ads. https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

Sure, google search was the core prototype that used algorithms to give great search results but without Adwords google wouldn't be google.
The simple answer is that people don't hire cheaper CEOs because the people who hire CEOs are the boards of companies and the boards of companies are mainly staffed by CEOs of other companies who unsurprisingly are incentivized to advocate for higher CEO pay.
Somebody on the internet is unhappy that his free service is now paid. Nothing to see here.

$2.1 Billion - That is how much IBM paid for the acquisition of Rational Software in 2003.

The "Three Amigo's" (Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson) had different modelling methods and decided to "Unify". Most the the UML hype was about adoption and market penetration in order to get to an exit. Others were caught up in the hype and made some money too, such as Martin Fowler, who wrote UML distilled and went on to agile and Thoughtworks. Special mention to the now-unknown Alistair Cockburn who wrote a book and did a lot of consulting around the confusion of use cases.

In today's language, Rational Rose would be the "Uber of Enterprise Modelling" and UML and RUP would be it's moat. Or something - Hacker News would be very congratulatory of their achievements.

The question is less about why we don't use UML anymore (A: the three amigos got their exit), but why nothing has come along to replace it (A: it's not needed).
Two things worth noting here:

- Not your keys, not your coins. Never keep in an exchange what you cannot afford to lose.

- Governments, especially tyrannical regimes that don't even need to pretend to respect human rights, will hamper your attempts at circumventing them at every step.

I wouldn't go so far as to declare the whole endeavor hopeless as some people have done here, only that you must be far more careful when covering your tracks. It's not a turnkey solution, there are few ways to get it right and a myriad ways to get it wrong, it sucks but it is how it is. If it weren't working, then they wouldn't be bothering trying to ban payments in crypto.
There's another app that still hasn't been flooded by commercial transportation using it as an advert platform: BlaBlaCar.

In my experience in Ukraine and Poland over the years there's been only a few times when it was a company offering transportation. For the most part it's a private person travelling anyway and picking up people to cover the fuel cost.

In my eyes it's the 21st century hitchhiking, as you get the safety of knowing passengers ahead of time (and some degree of screening by the app itself), but still just go wherever you were going.
I would argue cars are still mostly a disaster. They're not good for the environment, they partitioned neighboorhoods, they're very dangerous (the biggest non-disease killer of younger people before drugs), and they're another thing poor people end up having to buy and owe payments on every month.
The high level paid positions dont seem to be filled with women in miniskirts. They are more likely to be filled by men according to pretty much all studies I have seen.

If anyone is exploiting CEOs for personal benefit, miniskirts are not that.
This is almost right, but TSMC is a fab operator yet they seem to have transitioned to 5nm just fine.

However you are correct in that TSMC still owns and operates its older node fabs. Today's cutting edge fab is tomorrow's legacy fab producing no-longer cutting edge commodity parts. This is why Apple won't buy any fabs or fab operators themselves.
because there aren't luxuries in that system. that creates a need, and from it a secondary market, which without titles[1], sees the exchange of power either via favors exchange or plain tribalism. bribery then becomes the norm for the influential, even if actual money doesn't change hand, favors and contraband do.

> Sadly I think that their disregard for safety

I wouldn't call it a disregard. Zig's approach is to give you easy and automatic tools to detect and handle most of those memory safety problems in its language-first-class test system, which you can think of as a carrot to get you to write tests.
Seems like everyone needs to come up with new solutions to this dilemma.

> Ismail Enver Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: اسماعیل انور پاشا‎; Turkish: İsmail Enver Paşa; 22 November 1881 – 4 August 1922) was an Ottoman military officer who formed one-third of the dictatorial triumvirate known as the "Three Pashas" (along with Talaat Pasha and Cemal Pasha) in the Ottoman Empire.

> Ahmed Djemal Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: احمد جمال پاشا‎, romanized: Ahmet Cemâl Paşa; 6 May 1872 – 21 July 1922), also known as Jamal Basha as-Saffah ("the Bloodthirsty") in the Arab world, was an Ottoman military leader and one of the Three Pashas that ruled the Ottoman Empire during World War I and carried out the Armenian Genocide.

Notice the common word in those two? Military Leader.

At this point you're just spouting rubbish by calling those positions civilian positions. Also the minister of the Interior is very much a quasi-military position in a lot of countries even today, and especially in a centralized government like the Ottoman Empire. As was the position of Prime Minister/Grand Vizier.

> In the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Military Tribunal convicted and sentenced to death Talaat in absentia for his role in the Armenian Genocide.

I'll leave this one as a tangent.

This is what we do with Netdata Cloud. We want to keep the FOSS agent as a powerful single node monitoring tool and use the cloud for free infrastructure monitoring. You can see ktsaou's comment above on how we intend to monetize.
I feel your pain. I developed an event handler and messaging buss framework that allows me to run end-to-end workflows in my IDE. The framework is smart enough to know if it is running in the cloud or locally.

The other challenge the framework solves is that payload wrappers are different if there is there is an sqs component in front of the lambda, or an sns in front of that. The execution code of the lamda should be completely agnostic to how the payload arrives.
Social media is way less influential than the local news media in this regard. That’s a long running problem – think about how many cases have been covered based on police statements which turned out to be completely fictitious — and social media tends to amplify those stories more than it contributes original coverage.

Month-to-month is just as bad. The ideal business model for a dating site, from the users' perspective, is a one-time advance payment. This puts the business into the situation where they have an incentive to get you satisfied as quickly as possible, so that they can spend as little time/money on you as possible, so that your value to them doesn't go negative from allowing you to spend too much of their time/money.

This is, as it happens, how professional matchmakers tend to charge.
Very superficial advice. I don't see how small-talk with strangers can fix loneliness long term.
> Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century. I am ashamed to share an industry with this exploitative grift. It has failed to be a useful currency, invented a new class of internet abuse, further enriched the rich, wasted staggering amounts of electricity, hastened climate change, ruined hundreds of otherwise promising projects, provided a climate for hundreds of scams to flourish, created shortages and price hikes for consumer hardware, and injected perverse incentives into technology everywhere. Fuck cryptocurrency.

A "rather slow" is quite debatable. Tracing GC gets speed advantage at the cost of much higher memory and energy usage, unpredictable pauses, cache thrashing, etc. If you try to make these things equal, tracing can become embarrassingly slow, or even just crash with OOM.
They need to pay their taxes
I know one case where Google appears to be actually using "AI", and the results are terrible.

A client of mine is continually having their listing on Google Maps "helpfully" updated by Google to be wrong. They change the services, they change the hours, all to be wrong. They added a new services section, duplicating their existing services and adding back ones that had been removed post-COVID.

There is no way to make it stop. They show the changes in low-contrast yellow and through dark patterns make it difficult to revert the changes. All they can do is check it daily and revert the changes one-by-one.

I'm trying to get API access so I can automatically revert changes that weren't made by the business. It requires manual approval which takes 2 weeks. Months later, I haven't heard back.

It could never be charitable because Apple is a publicly traded company and investors want returns.

People talk about companies the same way a hunter-gatherer applies animism to trees for example. Companies are not people, they can’t be cynic nor greedy they just are what they were created to be. Profit machines.

Apple is extremely good at being. High returns on invested capital, huge moat, etc...

Banks won't let it happen. There is too much money to be lost for them. You have to be a wage slave and you have to keep your measly wage in your account so that the bankers can then bet with your money on "funds". If you had money in your own bank, then where is their fun?
