>Credit rating agencies are not regulators

That's very debatable, semantics and either way irrelevant. The point is that they were competing, and it was an extreme negative for everyone except the already rich.

The second paragraph essentially just illustrates your lack of knowledge on the topic. Ireland and the Netherlands have an overabundance of multinational corporations. Why? Because Ireland has a crazily low corp tax, and Nl lets large corporations negotiate their corp tax rate when they come into the country.

You're right, corporations are not individuals. They're big scary groups of people with no regard for your health or safety or welfare, who are trained and indoctrinated into a set of goals and beliefs that don't benefit anyone beyond themselves and a group of shareholders. They're cults. They're borderline religions. They should be reined the fuck in, and corp tax is a very good way of doing that
Violence rates don't lie!

Interpersonal violence and confidence in yourself go hand in hand at the societal level.

Places where interpersonal violence abounds has people being so arrogant and believing in themselves that they have no qualms attacking others, because they KNOW that they can't possibly lose. This is Africa

Places where interpersonal violence is low has people being very conservative and avoiding confrontations because they are scared of losing or succumbing to them: this is clearly Asia and Europe to a certain degree

The US is in a sweet spot, actually it was in a sweet spot in the 80s, now it has abandoned it and moving towards European type society. Still it's the closest place to a sweet spot it once occupied and still benefiting from the time it spent in that sweet spot
IMO GiB and gigabit are deliberately consumer-confusing terms with an even clearer standard definition.
Thank you for the constructive comment. ^_^

What you say is fair. It seems that OCaml's niche with time moved from competing with C to competing with Haskell and Rust -- at least from where I am standing. Maybe some members of the community aren't OK with that goalpost moving. That would be understandable.

But to be fair, I like OCaml more than Rust but I got very spoiled by both Elixir's and Rust's tooling -- both are excellent enablers of productivity.

Once OCaml overcomes this barrier (and introduces multicore) I am definitely going in, neck deep! :)
I don't think so. Try it "not good, my aunt just died" and not every American but many would try to comfort you. Not saying it wouldn't be a bit awkward but that it's not 'just faked' and everyone tries to get out of any real emotion.
Sure, in terms of raw features it looks like being able to uncouple the integrity verification would enable a client to choose to say "You can see what I'm doing, but you can't tamper with it". There are researchers who would like to do that, and last I looked the TLS working group invited them to turn that into an actual draft.

But it's essential in practice to remember that overwhelmingly the environment people are interested in is the Web, and on the Web those aren't actually different things again, in practice.

For example, suppose you're OK with me eavesdropping your Amazon purchases. You're buying a Lego robot for your daughter's birthday, you work for the investment bank, it's nice that we even let you do that from work and clearly we can't just let you do whatever you want with no oversight or you might rob us blind. We have a hypothetical TLS 1.4 which lets you opt in to this eavesdropping but nothing else, and you've done exactly this.

We eavesdrop your purchase, we were prevented from tampering with it. But, this is the Web. The eavesdropped TLS session contains a secret cookie value, which identifies you to Amazon. We can use this to impersonate you and do whatever we want, just as if we were able to tamper with your TLS session. The apparently more limited permissions are a mirage.
Where do you exactly see the overreach?

I'm reading the ruling and I see there only interpretation of the Australian law.

Things like:

150 The objects of the EPBC Act include providing for the protection of the environment, especially those aspects of the environment that are matters of “national environmental significance”: s 3(1)(a). Section 3(1)(b) states that a further object is the promotion of “ecologically sustainable development” through the conservation and “ecologically sustainable use” of natural resources. Each of those terms used in s 3(1)(b) is defined. Section 528 provides the meaning of “ecologically sustained use” as the “use of the natural resources within their capacity to sustain natural processes while maintaining the life-support systems of nature and ensuring that the benefit of the use to the present generation does not diminish the potential to meet the needs and aspirations of future generations”. The principles of “ecologically sustainable development” are given meaning by s 3A which provides:

Principles of ecologically sustainable development

The following principles are principles of ecologically sustainable development:

(a) decision-making processes should effectively integrate both long-term and short-term economic, environmental, social and equitable considerations;

(b) if there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation;

(c) the principle of inter-generational equity—that the present generation should ensure that the health, diversity and productivity of the environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations;

(d) the conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity should be a fundamental consideration in decision-making;

(e) improved valuation, pricing and incentive mechanisms should be promoted.
"I'm very sorry to hear that. "- Keeps walking.
I'd imagine it's more of a defense in depth approach. Why do your adversary's work for them? Unsophisticated adversaries (ie. random anti-nuclear agitators) might be dissuaded entirely due to the lack of information, and even sophisticated adversaries would have to take time and effort to verify those fingerprints and make sure they have the right spot. Unless there's a compelling reason to make the information public, I don't see why they would.
If you have to ask, I’ll go ahead and take a wild guess. I looked at the founder’s bios. A couple of white guys, think one worked at a few FAANGs - textbook archetype for ‘certainly people of this type know what they are doing’.

Yeah, we do live in that world. This shit might be the most valid textbook case of white male privilege ever.

Edit:

I usually have a very high bar for throwing around while male privilege thing (I’m talking Joe Rogan levels of defense against the claim), for what it’s worth.

But my spidey senses are tingling on this one from a mile away. This shit looks worse than the Asian mmo’s that are still being built on the Unreal3 engine.

Wages are not as liquid as assets. You generally get a raise once every 6 months to a year, and it's time consuming to find a new job to get competing offers to get leverage for market-level wages. In contrast assets change prices every day, and as COVID as shown, adapt very quickly to the printing of money.

At the low end wages are also capped by the minimum wage, which doesn't go up with the important inflation metrics (healthcare, housing, assets, education) but instead with regulation or CPI.

Plenty of contribution already,so I'll just add a personal anecdote. Some years ago I happened to have some beers with a Latvian Russian,who lived here, in London. He tells us that he doesn't get the Brits. He just doesn't understand the reasoning in some situations. I ask to elaborate. He says: last year, I had a pretty serious trauma and ended up in a hospital. It's so bad, pain, lots of tests,etc. And I'm pretty fed up with all of it. Then, one day, a surgeon comes in, says hello and asks me 'how are you?'. And I reply: 'really bad!'. And suddenly surgeon's face changes: his eyes start moving faster,he looks at me and then observes the room,then at me again. Then the surgeon,in a slightly panicky voice ask me again: well what's wrong,is it the food? Is it the nurses? Did they do all the tests? What's going on?' Then the Russian looks at the doctor and says: well look, I'm in a hospital, I'm ill as hell, I'm in pain and you have the audacity to ask how am I? Are you crazy? It should be pretty clear that it's definitely not my day! The surgeon goes on to explain the subtleties of the question and etc. At that point I already lived in the UK long enough to understand the doctor's position but I also found the Russians point to be absolutely hilarious.

From personal experience I find the Russians absolutely hilarious even without much smiling (the young ones smile more).They are somehow similar to Italians,who are also hilarious, but as is the case with the Russians, the funniest things tend to be equally tragic too. Kind of a never ending tragicomedy on full blast.
I can see why you would say that other investors should do their own research, but many people view a YC investment as a vote of confidence in the company in question. Your view makes me curious about how you think about the role of an incubator. Like...are there any lines YC could cross? Does their investment in a company reflect on them at all? What value do they provide other than seed money to companies?
Two reasons: 1. For the investment in the land the house sits on (the house itself is a depreciating asset, but the land may be a good investment), and 2. For the ability to control their own destiny, to be able to make improvements and to have a place to live that does not rely on a landlord's willingness to continue signing leases with you. Note that #2 is totally analogous to owning your own server infrastructure. You definitely give up control when you rent rather than buy compute. But I think people are more sensitive to this in their personal lives than businesses (especially small businesses); after all, you're stuck with your personal life, you can't sell it or declare bankruptcy or just shut it down if things don't work out.
In the article they say that they have a screenshot of their first several messages and have tried to search for the text in the screenshot.

So you’re saying some random person on the internet has a higher burden of proof than a $55b company. In the pursuit of intellectual honesty, it also seems reasonable that for once some giant bullshit claim from a company is audited?
This is the correct observation, although the education is only one small part of the article (and sometimes even useful for jobs). Wealth redistribution would work the same way.
In this aspect, Pownce[1] had 'channels' and later on Google+ had 'circles', so one could subscribe to a subset of one's interests. Pownce came along one year after Twitter and was quickly abandoned.

Not the person you're replying too, but I think you might find this video [0] interesting. He's describing his motivations and worries around making a web browser for SerenityOS.

A quote from that video (3:25) really stuck with me. He describes how he saw people joking online that the web-standards are so insane that it's impossible to build a new web-browser:

"The way I respond to that type of energy is to just really want show people that this is silly, not too complicated... mythologizing something that humans have done and humans will do again"

He clarified with a reflection on the hubris of it - new browsers can be made; not impossible; just takes an incredible amount of work taken a step at a time [1]. I really respect that.

Not exactly his thoughts on life _as_ a software engineer, but contains some thoughts on software engineering.

It's a short story published in Cixin Liu's The Wandering Earth. It was a great read.
Computationally, company is an order higher than humans in that it contains "structures" designed to generate revenue, and these "structures" consists of physical things (ranging from items in a physical store to an office space to entire factory, etc) as well as none-physical things (e.g. productivity optimisation across a 'team' of people who had worked together for a long peroid of time, trust in the supply chain, etc). When a company dissolves, many of these "structures" will be gone. In general there are many costs to reconstruct these "structures" after they are gone.

It will be amazing if

- it's cheaper to construct these structures designed to generate revenue (and we already see this in tech-driven stuff, which was how the notion of start-up emerged from the 70s)

- people are motiviated and are willing to overcome the hardship (as well as, in many cases, unconfortable feelings) to learn to construct these structures or to learn things that will help (e.g. programming, etc)

Unfortunately, most of these structures are currently still expensive (thanks to this, start-ups and techs are in general over-hyped [1]). And most people prefer consuming stuff mindlessly than learning things. Mindfulness is the key.

Therefore I'm extremely grateful that we as a civilisation are finlly entering the first phrase of the psychedelic renaissance. Psychedelic would always have a net positive impact to society at large as they force people to come to terms with reality as well as their very own phsyical existence, and be more mindful about the qualia of this world.

[1]: not necessarily a bad thing as they can eventually flatten all these cost structures
Does that apply to any group? I know of a method that applies to the double scalar multiplication, but it speeds up Ed255119 only by 25%, at the cost of doubling stack usage.

Also, if a group has a structure that allows such speedups, I would fear that the same structure could also enable attacks… Ideally, you want your group to have as little structure as possible, that's what makes attacks infeasible.
Throwaway account.

I sell altdata on the side.

1. Biggest challenge: Generating awareness and attracting the first few sales were tough. Some customers ask for names of existing customers and want to buy from trusted vendors. Unlike any other b2b business, you probably won’t get many leads from blogging, or SEO.

2. Revenue model is subscription, usually annual payments. Not usage based just a flat fee per year.

3. Mostly hedge funds. A few research services.

I wouldn’t recommend starting this type of business unless you have a partner with a lot of connections. There’s very little word of mouth in this industry since it’s secretive by nature. Once you get 1 customer, they won’t tell anyone else about you (unless they move to another company perhaps)

Same with 4K, prior to it the number was used to describe the height of the screen (480, 720, 1080) but then 4K describes the width which confuses people into thinking it has 4x the resolution of 1080 when it’s really 2160 (double the resolution.)
Yeah, no, not gonna happen, although I have heard of people getting better offers from incumbents by threatening to leave for Starlink.
> it requires an always on Mac (which can be in the cloud)

That’s surprising. How come?
If Russians smile more (I do not know really), then the most likely explanation is a mixing of the USA culture into ours.

I being Russian just do not keep smile on my face when everything is just fine. I'll keep smiling when things go especially good. I'd laugh evilly^W when they go in unexpectedly good way. But small variations from a statistical average is not enough of an emotional reason to change my facial expression.

Statostical average is the key. If things made a habit of being extremely good, I'd stop smiling when they are extremely good. I'd wait for more exciting occasion.

> For the vast majority of people their covid stimulation money did not go into their pockets, it went to their landlord or their mortgage holder

And then the money that _would_ have gone to pay those bills went into their pocket; and then to presumably pay some other bills (food, etc). Paying for a place to live is an expected expense that most people have. Helping people pay that expense helps those people. To pretend the only ones helped by it are the landlords/banks is ridiculous.

> Government provided housing and food should be available to any citizen — no questions asked. At that point you can get rid of all welfare programs since the government is directly supplying the basic necessities for those in need.

No, you can't. As an example, what about someone that is paying off a house and is in a downturn. Your solution is to have them stop paying for the house (lose it to the bank) and move into government housing. So, in exchange for a couple months of help with their bills, they get to discard their ownership in their house.

The application has a much larger attack surface than the auth/user system, so it makes sense to store PII separately.
> Is the implementation of a Convention isolated enough that it would make sense to be extensible?

Conventions are currently implemented in GNAT as a part of the parser/lexer just like any other syntax element, so it's not easily separated from the rest of the compiler. You could change that behavior, but that's not a small task. I don't think new calling conventions come along very often, so it seems unlikely to be worth the effort.

> One thing I had in mind is something like Postgres. Some functions in Postgres are called in a specific way that converts arguments into an array first, and handles SQL NULL values. If I were to define this as a new Convention, it would inherit a lot from the "C" Convention, but would do some transformations first.

I don't know the details of the Postgres implementation, but this sounds to me like the sort of thing that would work well as a generic procedure.

GNAT doesn't use runtime FFI, it dynamically links libraries and maps them into memory the same as any other C program that uses gcc and binutils. I think this makes what you're describing possible, but I'm not familiar enough with how setjmp/longjmp interacts with the stack to be certain without doing more research and testing.
That reminds a bit of systems where the data plane and control plane are the same. Like the old AT&T phone network.

Dave, I notice you've been spending a lot of time in the wellness chamber lately. So much time, that it's as if you're stealing wellness from our other associates. What do you have to say about that, Dave?
I've spend a decade working for an F500 US company here in Germany. The amount of bad news delivered with a fake smile was staggering. I lead to pure disgust within the German employee bubble making it actually stronger and the news worse. In the end I've been fired with one of those and some phrase along the "let's stay friends and meet again" line ;)

I was always quite surprised that there seems to never have been any online course teaching people who came over those basic things as they we online courses for everything else.
Once had a conversation with a soldier who handled IT on base. He told me that officers could and did demand that he bypass security, VPNs, etc and install software of their choice to use it on their computers. They outrank him, and "that's against policy" was not an argument. This was maybe ten years ago. Sounds like things have only got worse.
