Imagine the opposite. You come with a preconceived notion that your colleagues are tough, resilient, uncosseted.

It’s simply not true of Bay Area employees. They make huge sums of money and yet you must give them everything they want or they will strike, form unions etc.

They are emotionally triggered by words they misinterpret etc.

It’s better to be realistic about the people you are going to work with so as to not hurt their feelings. Is this weak? Yes. But I think what they believe in is that it’s okay to be weak and lack emotional resilience, and instead, we should restrict and censure anything and anyone that violates are emotional safety, rather than being strong and building emotional resilience, etc.

Actually the EU would have to act here. The EU should ensure that revenues made in the EU are taxed in the EU. However that would require all member states to agree and for countries like Ireland or Netherlands it is better to earn 1% of all EU profits of those companies than "proper" tax rates on only parts of the revenue, thus they won't agree ...
"Big Sky Theory"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_sky_theory

>In aviation, the Big Sky Theory is that two randomly flying bodies are very unlikely to collide, as the three-dimensional space is so large relative to the bodies. Some aviation safety rules involving altimetry and navigation standards are based on this concept. It does not apply when aircraft are flying along specific narrow routes, such as an airport traffic pattern or jet airway.

>The Big Sky Theory has been mathematically modeled, using a gas law approach. This implies that collisions of aircraft in free flight should be extremely rare in en-route airspace, whereas operational errors such as violations of formal separation standards should be relatively common. Three critical parameters are the number of flying objects per unit volume, their speed, and their size. Larger, faster objects, flying in a traffic-rich environment are more collision-prone.

http://code7700.com/big_sky_theory.htm

>It seems that there are a lot of pilots out there that believe in the "Big Sky Technique." They think the amount of airspace out there is so wide and vast, and that they are so small, that the chances of hitting another aircraft is too small to worry about. And yet history begs to differ.

In python it completely makes sense because it's an object oriented language and threat everything as object. In fact it's very consistent about that. Even classes are object and instance of metaclass. Difference between '==' and 'is' is came from that. This is not the case with Javascript. It's sad many peoples who are dealing with python don't understand that.
Because it’d be cool if it didn’t require OS level sandboxing.

AFAIU sandboxed embedded Python has been a bit of a Holy Grail for a long time. So if wasm gives an easy answer for it, that would be sweet!
They didn't sell all of their bitcoin, just a fraction, and this is probably another ruse to buy cheaper. There was minicrash earlier that tanked the value >> 10% but it was bought up almost immediately.
your response suggests that you think that the list needs to be 100% consistent with the shape of reality at all times, but the reality of it is that standards are fluid things and they are developed and honed iteratively in response to the pressures that gave rise to their existence in the first place. it's less about trying to make sure to accommodate every last possibility, and more about making sure to provide a reasonably fundamental and useful set of resources that can be used in union to build the more complex ones. the map of absolute choices is not the terrain of contextual variation and nuance, and there's no reason to ever expect a 100% concordance because a 1:1 map is basically equivalent to directly experiencing noumena and seeing past qualia, and that's just not usually a thing that is, by definition, directly apprehended, but rather indirectly inferred from the phenomena that result from interpreting it.

The Cirrus overshot the centerline of the runway it was supposed to land on. The common way for these situations is for the plane to be on an intercept angle towards the centerline. That's a max 30 degree angle for an instrument approach, but this was a visual approach so it could have been a sharper angle. All it takes to make this mistake in a Cirrus (and other G1000 avionics type small airplanes) is to forget 1 button on the autopilot mode. If it isn't set to capture the final approach track (either GPS or ILS) it will continue straight ahead which in this case means into the side of another airplane.

One thing that makes it more likely is that US air traffic control makes heavy use of visual approaches, and then it's allowed to point two aircraft at collision courses on the same altitude because they can see each other. The European way to do this is to have them intercept at different altitudes so if one overshoots they pass over/under. But it results in lower capacity per runway than the US system.
Just curious as someone out of the loop, what regulations encourage other car companies to buy regulatory credits that Tesla is granted by producing zero emission vehicles? I know its a big part of their profitability.

Are there not regulations that would encourage Tesla to buy credits to make up for their crypto-polluting sins?
Sorry for the lack of clarity, when I said a "bunch of bitcoin" that's quantifiably 10% of their Bitcoin. It amounted to a hundred million dollar profit. Curious if they sold any after 4/1.
That Bitcoin mining has a disastrous energy consumption is not a new finding. Elon and Tesla knew that and decided to go for bitcoin anyways. And they made alot of profit from that.

For me that seems as if they came to the (correct) conclusion that BTC is not the future. Justifying that decision with the climate impact feels like a bad excuse.
You don’t think they knew that going in?
100% agree that humility is important. And realising that at young age is great :) However, with over 25 yrs dev experience, I do believe its true that Java is verbose (and some of its frameworks hideously so), and PHP is inelegant. Both languages have improved a lot over the years, thanks to a bunch of smart people working on them. Having now decided your opinions were premature, you may one day come to the same conclusion based on experience. Python, OTOH, well, that's a lot of fun. Has its issues, but, overall nice to develop with.

But so is proof-of-work. PoS is weighted by how much wealth you’ve got at risk in the system, PoW by how much you have currently tied up supporting the system’s infrastructure. So, they look at different uses of wealth, but both are looking at wealth.

Proof-of-X is pretty invariably “Wealth, applied to X”, especially if the system ever becomes even loosely recognized as money-like.

Quick summary: the biggest electricity provider in the country (ENEL) made an app (Juicepass) to find and manage their charging stations across the country. The Android Auto functionality of the app has been rejected by Google for non disclosed "security concerns while driving". The antitrust ruled out it was because Google wanted to sabotage competitor apps to the charging stations finder built-in in the Google Maps app. On top of the fine Google will need to provide the SDK to integrate their app with Android Auto.
Yes. A very clever plan, executed to perfection.

We don't know the price point of the BTC they bought at the time but it is likely to be somewhere around $30,000 - $40,000 and then they announced it to cause a run up close to $60,000 and then sold some of it for a >$101m profit.

Now they somehow 'stop accepting Bitcoin' causing BTC to go down 12%.

These same institutions are NOT interested in hodling. They are here to make money off of their BTC investment with only risking a small amount and cashing out 10% of it, while the retail investor hodls for their life savings at all time highs again.
Often enough, when I see something like this, the real value isn't the software itself, but the idea that perhaps the issue it addresses is worth thinking about a bit more. The solution itself may be trivial, but have a large impact.

E.g. I have created [0] the simplest of scripts for managing updates for manually-installed / source-compiled applications (something I've dubbed "misc", very proud of this backronym :p).

The script itself is extremely simple (just a list of greps over latest release announcement urls), but it has solved a big problem for me, of helping me keep such "misc" items seamlessly up-to-date.

The timestamps are useful to Apple only so that its storage needs don't grow continuously over time, it gets to throw away material it was told about seven days ago.

Because AirTag is designed not to chew battery lifetime on the various Apple devices which are effectively drafted to report they saw an AirTag those devices have no limit on how long they can take to get around to telling Apple what they saw. So Apple does have a "timestamp" but that doesn't tell them when the BLE happened, it just helps them purge their database tables.

Either the site linked or the paper (I can't remember which) has a chart showing that it can take at least hours for some iDevices to be comfortable that it's time to tell Apple. Maybe they're configured not to spend $$$ on mobile Internet and waited until they saw a friendly WiFi AP, maybe they got low on battery and went dormant until charged that evening.

Apple's main "defence" appears to be, as usual, that stuff is designed to be hard to use unless you've given Apple money, thus defending Apple's profitability but not really its customers of course. So a Mac can easily be tricked into doing this stuff (as was done for the article), but you'll need to do a bunch of custom reverse engineering to write a PC app and periodically Apple will casually break it, not because this helps their users but because it protects revenue. I predict some researchers will do that reverse engineering work, Bad Guys will just buy a MacBook.
>>Just as our common sense, which favors functional societies, sees taxation as just.

Our commen sense has nothing to do with support for income taxation. The system of taxation is too complex, and has too many intermediaries, for the typical person to fully assess it in all of its moral dimensions.

If it were laid bare, without layers of intermediaries obfuscating its nature, and a multitude of ideological and political rhetoric to euphemize it, I believe the vast majority of people would perceive it the same way they would perceive one party, walking up to another, and demanding he hand over half the items he received in trade for the day, or be beaten up.

>>Maybe we don't have this inherent right?

I think that given this belief arises naturally in all social animals, it is a highly functional belief for social groups, and therefore it is in fact inherent to existence as a sentient social being.

My favourite is thttpd [1] which is super tiny, battle-tested and actually meant for the job (and only this job). It's available as a package on most Linux distros.

Serving a static folder `/static` on port `3000` as user `static-user` and with cache headers set to 60 seconds would go like this:

thttpd -D -h 0.0.0.0 -p 3000 -d /static -u static-user -l - -M 60

Even if you've got Python lying around on every Ubuntu server, I still don't get why you wouldn't use something leaner to serve your static files, as long as it's easy to install/configure. Same goes for most of the runtimes in that list.

I wish this thread would focus more on this, and less on how poorly the article expresses it. The very concept of "mobile" as some sort of distinct platform is an attack on general purpose computing. Refer to a smartphone as a "computer", and people will look at you strangely. The entire thing is a highly succuessful exercise in escaping the decades of culture norms surrounding general purpose computing.

Until you can make a first class "mobile app" on a mobile, it's a system for manipulating people.
You can easily mirror LFS objects by just using

git lfs fetch --all

every modern git hosting servers now have support for LFS directly inside the git server (gitlab, github, gerrit to my knowledge)

This solve the authentication issue nicely so make it easy for developers.

git lfs starts to be adopted by vendors and becomes usable. It solves real problem when you are tired of having to double your git server CPUs every 6 months as your git upload packs are taking huge time trying to recompress those big files over and over.
> Corporate tax does not make sense because "income" and "profit" for a company are very loosely defined.

Yes, the verbiage used by the IRS is awful; they use the term "income tax" to describe both the "personal revenue tax" and the "corporate profit tax".

Unfortunately they're stuck with it because the 16th amendment uses (but does not define) the term "income".

So if they call the thing that they're taxing anything other than "income", they have to deal with a bunch of clowns arguing that they aren't allowed to tax that.

Except they still own nearly all the Bitcoin they bought, so I don’t see how selling a tiny bit of it and tanking the rest could be described as “to perfection”.
They also wrote the customer agreement such that they would refund Bitcoin purchases in either dollars or Bitcoin[1], depending on which was more profitable. This can be used to effectively get free options on a highly volatile asset[2].

I would say as I've gotten older, I've gotten more pragmatic with which feelings I embrace. I've learned over time to not dwell too much on feelings of failure, inadequacy, doubt, etc. I can laugh off certain situations that would have been fairly devastating to me as a younger man.

I'm also less patient with others who dwell on such feelings (this is probably a bad thing, something I am working to address), and get annoyed with art that is overly sentimental. To be clear I didn't find this article to be overly sentimental, and I enjoyed reading it... but it was close.

You could say this is running away from my feelings, and that's fair. But I don't think I would prefer to have it any other way.
