>> But I also suspect the feds put some pressure on Colonial

This was my thought was as well. I thought they were in on this before it hit the public media. For me, it was like in the movies when the feds are trying to tap the line and the person is trying to keep the bad guy on the line as long as possible so they can trace the call?

My theory is the feds encouraged Colonial to string it out in order for them to get as much information on the hacking team as possible. From what we're seeing now (bitcoin seized, servers seized) it sounds like the Feds have them nailed pretty good and their gamble paid off.

Facebook Is Finally Doing Something About the Biggest Spreaders of Anti-Vax Lies
I made a service to store arbitrary files as URLs that is similar. The hard part is files that are too large, I can handle files up to 5mb if you click on them all via local storage. Compression helps a lot as making them base64 increases the size quite a bit.

Seems like "exhalation" would become a problem for riders other than the race leader (at the head of the peloton), although perhaps that is already an unaddressed problem.

> do people care?

The problem with this line of reasoning is that said companies might not have even thought about trying to do something with those platforms because it was assumed impossible, and they didn't want to go through the effort of a court case to make it so. It's hard to say what would happen if consoles opened up without it actually happening.

> Point #2: ephemerality.

With how much mobile OSs change I'm not sure it's relevant. Apps that aren't kept up to date (esp. when it comes to changes in how the system manages privacy settings) tend to be delisted, and the rate at which those changes happen is much faster than the 7-10 year console cycles where backwards compatibility is a requirement even when major parts of the OS change (see: Win8 -> Win10 kernel transition in the early days of the X1). Admittedly, keeping up with mobile OS changes doesn't usually require a full rewrite of the app, but neither did anything moving from X1/PS4 to XSX/PS5.
Wow. This is a great reply. Thank you for your honesty. I hope more people will leave valuable, personal stories like you.

Do you feel the healthcare and national pension are high quality ("good value")?
I suspect that it is. There may be some reason it is good enough with a single shot, but the others aren't, but still... I didn't want J&J, not because I think it is a worse vaccine, but because it is currently only a single shot.

Exactly this. Linux scares people because many people are allergic to choice, and the concept of actually developing an opinion on something other than the sum of their total experience on MacOS. Linux is frustrating, because there are a lot of different places you can point to as underdeveloped, but only because you can see the entire thing. When something breaks on MacOS, you just have to shrug and pray you don't use it, because your only support options are to reinstall MacOS or buy a new computer.

The thing is, as I understand it (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong—with citations if possible!), there is no law that mandates that non-full-time employees get no benefits. Indeed, I know of some part-time employees (though still fixed-time, like half- or three-quarter-time, not variable hours like retail or food service generally is) who get prorated or full benefits.

If they are saying their hands are tied, it is because there is an institutional policy of not providing benefits to those who are less than full time, not because they are not allowed to do so.

In other words, if they implied that they can't do this because of US law, they were lying to you.
That sounds horrible. :(
I would assume that certain amount of basic chemistry is still quite advanced for a non chemist.

If you would create a YouTube channel talking about basis programming language you would also attract plenty of people.

Nonetheless I don't want to lower the value or skill of him.

I'm entertained by it and can't judge his skills.

It still takes a lot to stand in front of a camera and doing what he does but still it could be that a chemist find it boring what he shows.
Also electron require multiple node backend services which each eat memory like crazy (based on electron app I use).

Have one, real Multithreaded +, more efficient backend, will reduce memory and offer better performance.

Wails is also an alternative that does just that. Shared Web UI engine + Go compiled backend.
Do you really need 14 pinned tabs? I use plenty of apps too, but they don’t need to be sitting there all the time.

And multiple day tasks, I still can’t imagine why you need all the tabs. For me, I get in, get what I need and get out again.
If MSFT released a cherry MX version of this keyboard, and moved the 6 key to the right hand cluster, it'd be an instant buy from me. I learned touch typing with 6 on the right side, and most keyboards I've seen have it setup the same, so not sure why MS sticks with this convention.
What does this have to do with the fact that I need all of my russian alphabet when I type in russian?

The problem is that the default russian qwerty (or rather йцукен) simply won't fit. You will have to bind additional characters to weird places, which will be messing with your muscle memory or use layers, as you've said. Which is super annoying. Imagine you have to switch to a different layer when you need to type 'z', 'h', 's' and 'p' for example.

If you are relying on testing for correctness, you have already lost. In any language.

As Dijkstra noted, testing can only prove a program wrong. The way to get correct programs, in any expressive-enough language, is by construction. At each level, do only operations that are well-defined by the level below. Expose only well-defined operations to the next level up. The compiler proves that the types are used correctly; so, when coding a library, you put the type system to work to make wrong code harder than correct code.

That is the right way to code Rust, too.
Sure, so we can't justify it based on our current laws. To change those laws is indirectly up to the people electing lawmakers. So it's up to people's opinion and how they view people who are convicted of serious serious crimes such as murder. Luckily, at least in the countries that I'm familiar with, people still mostly believe in rehabilitation and do not believe in any kind of eye for an eye punishment so I think we're good there. At least for a while.

The ‘North Pond Hermit’: The Man That Lived Without Human Contact for 28 Years
I was courted by corp dev from a big public company. It was quite an experience -- events, dinners, wine, private meetings, large groups of the corp folks hanging on every word. They got pretty pushy, demanding to know trade secrets to keep going with a negotiation. At the end of it I pulled the plug because it was clear they were not working in our interest. (The word "pillage" comes to mind.)

The experience was nice to have, but as the essay claims, it ultimately was a poor use of time.
The parent comment said "known serial killer". There was no discussion of guilt. I may be wrong about the play thing bit so to revise and be more specific in my stance;

1. If they have no issue with killing people.

2. have killed people

3. will continue to kill people

If all or even most of those victims being people who do not harm others then I'm alright with the murderers being used in experiments or killed themselves.

I don't care about them being found guilty or not, this is hypothetical and there are a number of ways that they could be found guilty when they haven't done it or not guilty when they have. Getting to the point where you can know without a single doubt that they in fact are serial killers is a different matter.
Some downvoting can be truly surprising, and one factor may be because HN is much more international, while I think of it as "American". It is Y-Combinator, after all.

Funny fact - one way to get down votes on HN is to say something negative about that shit-tier human Peter Thiel. Apparently becoming rich off of venture capital makes you automatically a good human being.
This is out of date. At this point, many larger corp dev teams act like a recruiting team for acquisitions. They find leads and pass them to VPs
The supported URL length is at least 100 characters, not the URL length.
I agree with you to an extent, but learning lisp is a bit more involved than just picking up another programming language; it's learning to program in a completely new paradigm. I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect students to pick up things like syntax and standard libraries on their own, but to expect everyone to seamlessly pick up the functional paradigm with no help from the instructor is a bit much. For something like this there should be at least one lecture that goes over some of the fundamentals of functional programming and gives students the vocabulary they'll need to find the solutions to any roadblocks they run into.
That's an interesting twist. I like the positive aspect of it given I've mostly felt guilty for being able to flexibly take on more household tasks while taking breaks from work.

I do think things would trend even more positively had this not been a pandemic. Folks would have more flexibility in work location and could "pick their spots" better in the sense that they'd have more control over their environment and could tailor it to specific tasks.
Poor design is leveraging a security model on an arbitrary and centralized root of trust, but maybe it's just a matter of perspective.
How does Moonshot quickly and effectively perform due diligence on prospective acquisitions? Have you built any in house tools for such purposes?

I ask because a good friends of mine who works in private equity was telling me about how ridiculous and inefficient he though the process was. Apparently it's a drawn out process of emailing Excel spreadsheets back and forth.
Yeah for split spacebars on a programmable keyboard!

I currently use and love a Kinesis Freestyle Pro, and would consider this for my next keyboard. My favorite feature of the Kinesis board is that it is programmable and has a split spacebar. The split/ergo shape is okay, but I don't think I will ever get another keyboard that doesn't at least have a split spacebar and a way to program it.

With half of my spacebar acting as fn and then arrows, backspace, delete and escape on the fn layer move my hands around MUCH less than on a normal keyboard.
If you're using it on a Mac, then it'll save you $40 because it's got 2x USB-A ports! (Apple charge $19 for a USB-C to A).
This website won't even let me look at a high-res photo of the keyboard or see specs without signing up.

Points for a case in which a protection was held not to apply ... on a 5/4 decision. (Hand grenades, horse shoes, H-bombs, ... and SCOTUS decisions.)

Which still doesn't establish that no Constitutional rights (that is, limitations on government action) apply to extraterritorial noncitizens.

But props all the same for a relevant citation rather than more smoke-blowing as others have been.
What raises my eyebrows here is that the output is 100.00% in both periods, for both the 1st and 3rd quartile. This seems extremely artificial. Basically, when 1 task is assigned, 1.0000 tasks will be completed. I’ve only skimmed but didn’t see any discussion of how the tasks are assigned - is there any variation on that end?

I'm wary of the fact that mug shots are made and publicized before any facts, objectivity or legal scrutiny, yet they appear to make the person 'look guilty'. I suggest they shouldn't be public information until sentencing, and then only 'valid' or publishable while a person is incarcerated. I think the idea is supposed to be if you 'server your time' you get a chance to have a normal life again.

Yes, same here. "Close Tabs to the Right" gets used a lot. If there's anything I want to keep I either pin it or drag it all the way to the left first.
I'm a bit disappointed that the lengthened URL for http://aaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... itself doesn't work. That is:

https://aaa.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

EDIT: Looks like the site is actively being updated, there are new option checkboxes, the self-reference link only works with "Use a path instead of an URL" checked

EDIT: I repeatedly lengthened maybe a dozen times, that seems to get it stuck in a loop:

I recently cancelled my VS subscription, just couldn't see any reason not to just use the community edition.
What are the forces at play here? People don't want to be embarrassed by their mugshot vs people don't want to be discriminated against because of a mugshot vs the transparency of who cops are arresting and why.

I don't know if laws should care about someone being embarrassed. I'm kind of surprised about this anti-transparency rhetoric coming someone who started a Libertarian think tank (but maybe I shouldn't be).

I can sympathize with those who think having their arrest record publicized will lead to discrimination, but I don't think hiding mugshots will have much of an effect on that. Plus, if that's an issue we want to solve, then make laws that actually target discrimination because of arrest record & laws that otherwise protect the rights of those accused of crimes.

I think most importantly, arrests need to be publicly available. We have a right to know who the cops are arresting and why, lest people start disappearing or jailed for mysterious reasons (or for looking a certain way). In general, I think our government isn't nearly transparent enough...
Your statement is simply false. There were four years of allegations and strong innuendo floated in congress and the press, as well as extraordinary use of carefully worded statements to sustain extralegal focus with zero evidence of behavior that would violate an actual law. No one was charged with or found guilty of anything other than conjured process crimes. History will not forgive, and it will not forget.

He actually didn't even cover one of the worst parts about the whole process - fake buyers who just want to steal your tech. I was working at a startup with a ground breaking product no one had released before, we had shipped hundreds of prototypes and gotten good reviews and had plenty of orders, but board redesigns and setting up a factory assembly line for the production models was eating into our cash and runway. A big company in an adjacent space made it known they were willing to buy us. We set up a data room, gave them tours of the office and technology, intros to all the staff, and they liked everything they saw. Offer never came through. A year later they announced they would be developing a knock off. Entire process just seemed like a way to get internal development info for their own clone they were starting development on.

Amusingly, I've seen this process go the other direction in the finance world. Sometimes an employee will go out and interview with another fintech company, pretend they are willing to jump ship, and pick up as much information on how their competitor works as they can at the fake job interview. Employee then happily continues at the fintech startup with the extra knowledge.

Sometimes serving 429s/403s to unauthed users is already costing you too much in egress bandwidth bills. That’s one of Cloudflare’s main propositions: stop that “idiot bot that will never get what it wants, but keeps requesting it anyway” traffic outside your network. (Note: not the same as a DoS! Usually not intentional, and usually not actually bringing your infra down. Just costing you money, while not making you any money.)
I thought about something like this for the last 10 years when taking public transport.

It came again into my mind when I heard about tesla's biohazard filter system.

It's just ridiculous how we accept the status quo.

It can't be okay to be sick every year for 5-12 days and covid showed me no I don't have to be sick every year and don't get me wrong, clearly I'm not getting better in fighting this shit of if I have it every fucki g year.

What are long-term effects of being sick every year?
It is 100% equity vs. wages. That’s how a financial statement works. Revenue – COGs – G&A – Taxes & Interest = Net income. That net income moves to the balance sheet as retained earnings. The higher the COGs & G&A cost the lower retained earnings and the lower the retained earnings the lower proportion of equity.

The premium equity achieves is largely as result of leverage – not value*. Employees might generate 100% of the revenue but get zero credit for the growth rate. In a book value sense both seem pretty even, but we don’t value growth companies at book… We value them with a DCF model (or a different model that takes into account future earnings). At T+0 you’re probably neck and neck, but as soon as you step into T+1, T+2, etc. the equity side will get credit for income it hasn’t earned yet while the wage earner is left the same (for the better or worse).

*related to my parent comment and the diminishing utility of money. Equity investors can afford to be choosey because they have wealth = aka options.
> We drink coffee which includes caffeine, we use alcohol and THC regularly to "socialize", we take ibuprofen et al when feel pain, we eat sugar because we're fucking addicted.

Who is we? I don't consume caffeine or THC, don't eat much sugar or drink much alcohol, and don't remember taking painkillers at all in 2020 or 2021 so far. I don't use social media like FB or IG. I don't remember getting a flu shot ever, maybe in childhood and I forgot.

Despite telling the other commenter to chill, your comment is bafflingly aggressive. It's possible to live without drugs and social media and we should encourage that, not take for granted that everyone should be forced to use drugs just to socialize or eat sugar.
> How about experimenting on cell cultures harvested from an adult who was executed by the state?

Like many, I'm against capital punishment and wouldn't live in a jurisdiction that applies it so this is hard for me to even imagine.

There is no sense to your comparison when you’re putting a criminal enterprise (which exists to do harm and harm only) and legitimate business into the same bucket.
I wonder in the discussions surrounding these sorts of things (Right to be Forgotten, etc) if the issue isn't that there should be a right to be forgotten but rather that culturally we should be far far more tolerant of people fucking up. It feels like the perception of how much the average member of society transgresses its rules is totally out of sync with reality, though this may be by design to create space for exploitation.
