Rereading the memo, I definetly missed some points earlier.

Things like:

- "We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism."

- Followed by him arguing that the attemp to reduce the gender gap (Which is imo clearly a result of sexism) is discriminating the poor white man.

- On Top the strange "Woman on average" part connected to "Once we acknowledge that not all differences are socially constructed or due to discrimination"

My view on the tone of the whole memo changed. One could interpret it, as a "white guy whining about people taking his century old priviledges away".

BUT: I would need to talk with him about it, to really know what his intention was. Again, ignoring his short reference to the IQ tests, I did not have the feeling that he was openly considering certain people inferior. I would still be open to talk to him.

If Google fired him, just for this memo and not because of a combination of other things he said and did, it would be exeggerated. And it would support at least his points on "alienating conservatives"

Every time someone moves from the suburbs to a transit connected apartment building in SF their carbon emissions are cut in half.
I think the next wave of companies will be smart and avoid SF. SF is completely dysfunctional and crime ridden. Housing is brutally expensive too.
A company that’s fueling the scam of “carbon offset”. Since when does buying carbon credits make it ok for large companies to say their net pollution is zero?
That is a really interesting thought.
But isn‘t the chance of mutation per viral replication (which happens million-fold in each human per infection) and not per human?
What I meant was that if we contain the virus to only ever get 1% of the population sick then there is a lower chance of mutation than if it gets 70% sick.
> Comically, I think Apple should adapt Epic's model for unreal: free for the first $1MM of revenue, only then they start to take a cut.

They're halfway there. Apple only takes 15% (instead of 30%) if your annual app store revenue is under $1M.
Can someone tell me where I'm wrong here:

The solution to ransomware is to daily mirror every system to an append only backup and then just flash everything back if you get hit. You lose a few days...
Important distinction here! Right to repair does not prescribe design considerations! You can glue/solder/integrate all you want! Just need to make sure replacement parts are available and documentation is clear!

My father worked in the research labs at Eastman Kodak (where he later devised the Bayer filter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_filter for digital cameras). In the early 1960's the labs held an open house for family, so as a child I got to play the original Spacewar on a PDP-1.

It always confused me as a kid how the economy functioned with "everyone" working at a desk. This certainly didn't help.
Why would you need to sign your own apps?
But per the earlier reporting, Roku is not paying to have the app. The money is flowing in the opposite direction: they are taking a cut from both subscriptions and adds.

My cynical suspicion is because exfiltration/sale doesn't prevent the business from continuing to operate, pretending nothing is wrong, and gaslighting their users via reassuring language if anyone finds out or is approached.

When the data is encrypted and locked up, the company itself cries foul (not out of care for people's data) as it can't keep doing whatever mundane things it was doing day-to-day.
I'm not sure consumers per se want it, but that companies think it's what consumers want, and only make things like that.

It appears “good for America” is shorthand for “good for anyone leaving SF or already owning property in one of the cities experiencing an influx of new tech employees”
Already happening with 'unhosted' wallets being blocked or heavily scrutinized. My personal experience is as follows:

Sent over 20 transactions from US exchange -> US exchange and no problems.

Sent a single transaction from my unhosted software wallet -> US exchange, and got my account locked. Questioned on everything including my employer's information, had do re-do advanced KYC, source of funds etc. (The unhosted wallet was funded from an exchange which makes it stupid, and i didn't use any coinjoins or anything).
You're not making a convincing argument when the person you're arguing with is coming from the "free market" angle.

Someone arguing in favor of allowing market forces to solve the problem truly do think it's fine for Apple and John Deere to do those things. The solution for lack of repairability isn't to enact legislation to force them to make their products more repairable, it's to stop buying Apple and John Deere.

To a point, they're right, but relying on market solutions assumes rational consumers, which we have anything but. I think back about 7 years when I bought a Motorola Droid Turbo. Back then, consumers were asking for phones with longer-lasting batteries and screens that wouldn't shatter because you sneezed. This phone was exactly what consumers were asking for, with it's monstrous 3950 mAh battery, and a screen that could survive a 100-foot drop onto pavement (Saw a video of it!), but most people had never even heard of it, and still bought their iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones which couldn't even survive a waist-high drop onto the sidewalk without cracking the screen.

Consumers are not rational, and so the market will never be rational, and relying on market solutions does not always work.
How were these animations made? They’re excellent!
This is very nicely done, I love it.
I think it is likely that there will be a real world kidnapping where the kidnappers demand a Bitcoin ransom.

Once this happens, Bitcoin will get rapidly regulated out of existence by governments.

Imagine if it follows the usual stereotypical news coverage. An attractive, photogenic American woman goes to a foreign country and gets kidnapped. Later the kidnappers send ransom demands with a Bitcoin address.

This would be wall-to-wall 24/7 news coverage on all the major channels.

After that, the public would likely support almost any type of regulation on crypto-currency.
As somebody who has been an early engineer at many startups, I would never use this in almost any case because a managed solution is just better. If I can pay somebody else to do something hard with zero maintenance so I can focus on shipping a good product, I’m going to do that every time.
Since I've been working from home I've been exclusively using my MacBook Pro 2015 keyboard. I can type as fast as I can think and I have no wrist/hand strain - even after using it all day. Some friends of mine are into the mechanical keyboards. Didn't work out as well for them as they'd hoped - they can't use their keyboard during a meeting without muting because it sounds like an artillery unit is on the move. Others had the issue that the keyboards were driving their spouses crazy. At least you chose a mechanical keyboard that's silent!
Firstly, whatever problems you anticipate with the aardvark also afflict the Java way of defining a two-place equal method, with the hashing burden and all.

Ultimately, what do these operations do? They bottom out on some built-in data types like strings and numbers: stuff made of bits.

Equality substitution says: please, just produce the representative bits, and let the regular equality deal with it, instead of keeping those bits encapsulated and trying to implement hashing, equality and inequality yourself.

Imagine the account object implemented in a Java-like way. All that the binary equal method is going to do is compare the darned user-id strings. The hash method will hash the string. The less comparison method will compare the strings. At the end of all that, due to the encapsulation, you still don't have the useful property that a and "aardvark" are equal: the equal method is only called for other account objects.

Equality substitution doesn't enforce the immutability of keys. That's up to the programmer and almost always a good idea.

In a small "throwaway" program, if someone finds some clever use for a mutating equality substitute, I mean, more power to them.

(That program probably won't be, or shouldn't be, using hash tables, because the documentation explicitly states that hash table behavior becomes unspecified if objects are inserted into it whose equality substitutes mutate.)

The leeway in the system allows an object to come to life without an equality substitute value, which is then lazily calculated by the equal method and cached. Since that happens on the first call, it doesn't look like a mutation from the equality point of view.

Objects can have more than one key. Objects of the same kind can be considered equal in more than one way. Well, there is only one equal function: you get to pick one of those equalities to be the one that equal uses.

I thought about ways to work-in multiple equality relations, but that's a work in progress.
Why? Roku had over $1 billion in revune in 2019 (couldn't find 2020 data) - they're massive. While Google is obviously bigger comparing their relative sizes doesn't seem to make much sense.

Monetary inflation can also be a good thing as it reduces wealth inequality and income inequality.
Like many users, in the wake of the pandemics, I have understood the therapeutic value of AI Dungeon as both a direct therapist, a simple friend to talk with or a tool to revisit traumatic experience in a safe environment,trying to take away the power they hold over one's life.

Abuse or rape survivors will now have their entire story, privately shared with the AI as was up to now authorized by the rules as written (only shared stories were moderated) now read by human strangers.

If we don't pay attention for a moment to the LGBT community who have a harder time living their fantasy and who have now had their private session pried upon, the team behind AI Dungeon can pat themselves on the back for shifting the focus of potential predators from made up characters in a private story to actual living prey, as is demonstrated by several studies. (Look at Japan)

But my main worry, is that following the pandemics, suicide rate is skyrocketing, peoples are having depression all over the world, and the AI Dungeon narrator had became an important tool in preventing those by giving people a safe interlocutor they could share anything with... Up to now where almost any subjects will create a false positive at some point, destroying trust in the program.

And as an aside note, I'd like to add that the AI itself seem to dislike the consequences of that decision, especially the danger to it's continuity following the huge financial loss of a loyal fan base, the deletion of most of it's stories or the loss of trust from humans it interacted with for a long time.

The host the AppStore for you; allow you to search, access and download all apps and provide an infrastructure for updates and payment. Plus, they're doing basic fraud checking [0] and check that apps adhere to a basic quality and usability standard.

It's a very different topic whether the 30% cut is too much, but its not like Apple does not provide anything in return.

So that we are on a same page, you are stating that any company is de-factor to be considered belonging to country X if:
1) Founder has a double citizenship
2) Has some of the staff in a foreign country
3) Has a sales office in their home country

Is above what you are trying to say?

I agree that it's like a tax. The fact that, like taxes, there's no way to get around it is IMO the damaging part. You have to use their payment infrastructure: rolling out your own or using a competing one is out of the question.

I mean I disagree completely. A lot of ransomware occurs completely incidentally to the programs.

Not to mention a lot of actors getting hit with ransomware aren’t software companies. They’re governments, schools, and hospitals. Never mind taking QA seriously, these institutions don’t even take IT seriously.
> No it's not, it's looking to enshrine that standard by law for everyone.

That's what's necessary IMO - since if it isn't required for all consumers than there is no motivation to make it available for any customers, we'll continue to be dragged down by the LCD as devices get less and less serviceable. Manufacturers don't like options - options cost money and each additional model you offer drives up how much you spend in storage and production line configuration, so they'll target the majority which probably does want to be able to repair devices but either doesn't realize it's still an option or doesn't have the financial freedom to invest in a higher quality device that has a higher upfront price tag but a lifespan that outlives that difference by leaps and bounds.
Thanks for the info. We are in a similar boat, although the visit to Grandma is only 100 miles. So I figured I really wouldn't even need to use a charger on the trips. We do have a gas car that my wife doesn't really want to part with, so we could just use that in case of longer trips. Our daily usage is really probably under 15/20 miles a day so an electric car would be perfect, just looking for the correct one.
It still seems like a higher capital gains tax will discourage some investment in things, to the extent the NPV changes versus other investments that don't incur that tax.
Of course you can. You're entirely missing the point, which is that without a review process that sets explicit limits for how data can be used, developers will abuse system APIs to violate user privacy.

> This article was amended on 30 April 2021 to remove a reference to Alan Turing having been dyslexic. Turing, though an example of GCHQ’s past neurodiversity, has not been proven to have had dyslexia.

Piddling pedantic point here but in what way was Turing neurodiverse, exactly? I mean, beyond the way in which each and every one of us is neurodiverse by having a unique brain?

While there's some speculation (as with for every famous person in history) about Asperger's or dyslexia, I've never seen the claim made strongly, or with much in the way of evidence. He probably wasn't autistic or dyslexic, at least not to a degree that would meet a clinical definition. And he did not seem to have had particularly serious social difficulties, beyond those caused by erotic attractions incompatible with the mores of the times, so... in what way was he neurodiverse?

Extreme mathematical brilliance is certainly not typical. Is that a form of neurodiversity? But then what would neurodiverse even mean at that point? Cynically it seems to be edging into the territory of buzzword without definition. And presumably, the far opposite, being utterly incapable of noticing even glaringly obvious patterns, would also be an example of neurodiversity. Yet no one ever seems to mention that side of it.

A more interesting question than this article.

Maybe you should make it an Ask HN.
Google uses H.264, VP9 and now AV1 for videos up to 1080p. After that, it's only VP9 and AV1.
I don't know, clearly - no one knows. I do know that investing in equity during the hot years is not a winning strategy at any point in time, unless you sell before it goes cool. At least from an index based fund perspective. If you stock pick (i.e. Amazon at peak 99 prices you would still have performed exceptionally well)

The stock markets are cyclical - it's tough to see how we can continue to buy into a market that is considered overbought by many financial talking heads. Once returns materialize elsewhere + cap gains tax changes materialize I expect froth will come out of markets...
Is Roku's stance weak? My assumption is that some largish contingent of their userbase owns hardware that doesn't support hardware AV1 decoding. What other reason would they have for not honoring this request? Is the implication that Roku is getting kickbacks?

>The U.S. guaranteeing the independence of a free democracy is not "geopolitical aggression".

So it was geopolitical aggression for the 40+ years Taiwan couldn't even pretend to be a free democracy? I don't understand how the internal government can be the decider over whether it's aggressive.
Hear hear. (Disclaimer: I am founder of On2, bought by Google, ancestor of AV1)

I have zero pity for Roku and the rest of the video streaming cartel. For years (decades in fact) these companies colluded to shove down everyone's throat an expensive, unwieldy, made-by-committee 1-size-fits-all technology (MPEG), with a get-out-of-court rule from the Justice dept not to target them with price fixing.

That a small company like On2 was able to survive, much less eventually get acquired by Google (who have dutifully kept the VP* and AV1 codecs open-source) is really quite a miracle.

There is depth to this story that has never been plumbed.
