I believe it was a side-effect rather than a cause. The PPP loan program did end up helping a lot of businesses, and to be fair, there wasn’t really time to pick and choose who gets what.
Arguably true, but given that people consume cigarettes as a mild(ish) fast-acting stimulant, it's certainly reasonable to treat overwork as a proximate cause.
Is texts.com a work around for sending live imessages on a PC?
I am clearly not proposing that they are claiming an abstract concept held a physical weapon to kill anyone. Actually that's the point though. You would have to believe something nonsensical like this for it to be possible for the headline to be true as it is written.

The headline is "Overwork Killed x" and that implies in no uncertain terms that overwork directly and solely killed people which is again, obviously nonsense.
Russian who travelled extensively through South America here. I'm not sure what's wrong with altiplano bolivians, but my impression was that they are not just grumpy, but genuinely unfriendly (and Russian cultural background kinda helps with differentiating the two). I used to speak quite decent Spanish back then, so I tried communication - and anywhere else on the continent my attempts were enough to break the ice and become friends, but not in La Paz.

So far La Paz and bolivian altiplano in general is the only place in South America where I don't want to come back.

Down in Santa Cruz folks are cool though.
It's not like we're proud of booking. Dark patterns in their product, horrible tech stack. As a software engineer there you'll get paid 30% over market value to work on Perl in a dysfunctional org.

This bonus round is just another stain on an already bad reputation. Their CMO tried to start some nice PR recently, must be pretty mad now :)
The term "5 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. It is a commercial or marketing term used by the chip fabrication industry to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density, increased speed and reduced power consumption.

It is an industry standard term for describing a process node which is quite different from marketing bullshit.
Kleptocracy is more blatant in Russia. Many business owners are jailed once their business gets to a certain level of success and they don't sell to the local political/business mafia. This isn't really the case in western countries where the big players aren't sharing their profits with government officials and have plenty of money to buy companies at market rates.

Not everyone works in software or builds apps, even if you don't find meaning in someone's work( or yours) it doesn't mean they don't find meaning in that themselves however trivial or useless it may seem to you.

A job overworked or not gives a purpose, a lot of people get depressed if they loose a job because they lack the purpose. Also overwork makes sure there is not much time to think about anything else.

I don't encourage overwork, however it can have both positive and negative impact on lives.
That's interesting because I feel like a lot of tech is in the kind of spot. If enthusiastic people come in and start building really good core products while charging fair value there are going to be a lot of bloated, wasteful tech companies that could end up in a world of hurt. At least that's my opinion.

Scam = fiasco + company claims. I don't see it as a large leap based on the company claims. You could argue that it's not a scam as long as they're trying but if what they claimed was inherently impossible, I don't think it's a stretch.

Challenging to read things that are auto-translated from Chinese into English.

From what I gather from the article, didn't get the Nature paper yet, the novelty here is a bismuth deposition process that doesn't damage fine structures underneath it.

This is definitely one of the hard problems in semiconductor manufacturing and as stated, it is implied it allows for very fine lines (1 nm) for connecting elements on a chip. If they can do that in a commercial fab it would help with density, if they are really able to reduce connection resistance to "negligible amounts" then that would be really good for power dissipation.

Where did you read that? As a working EE through the 80s and until today, I never heard that claimed. Maybe someone, somewhere wrote that, but it would have been an extremely fringe opinion. Even at the time I think most people would have received that opinion as a crock of shit.
It's possible to submit stories and a comment simultaneously (fill in both the URL and "text* fields on the submission form).

An early-entry comment carries a lot of weight in steering conversation, and quoting the portion of the story citing YC's involvement as well as the alleged fraud would be proper.

Unless unclickbaiting titles or working with arbitrary text (e.g., a Twitter stream submission), changing titles is strongly frowned upon, especially where the source does in fact have a viable title.

I'd lose the preemptory "This" from the original source, but otherwise recommend the original title be used.

(Meantime, the discussion is now derailed by title discussion, which dang will have to clean up.)
You're misunderstanding what the phrase "how are you" means in the US. It is not a literal question, but a set phrase with implicit social rules for "correct" responses.

This doesn't mean the person asking is faking kindness - but also understand they're not actually asking for a rundown of how your life is going. Negative responses to the question are ok, just not deeply personal answers.

In your first transaction, you just set it to private so only you and the recipient (and Venmo and whatever gov't agency) can only see the memo line. The amount is always private. The setting sticks after that so you don't ever need to change it again.

No. Starting with the Pentium Pro, 32 bit x86 could leverage up to 64GB of physical RAM using PAE. (Physical Address Extension) x86-64 was created to address the 3GB (or 3.5GB, or 2GB, depending on the OS configuration) process limit.
I concur with that.

I had a problem that appeared to be a corner case with Apple Pay. I wrote a paper letter to Tim Cook about it, and within a week got contacted by a staff person in his office. He worked exclusively with me to identify issues I had not considered, and followed up on all of the direct effects and side effects until they were resolved.
Part of the scandal mentioned in the article is the accusation that they got in through nepotism and bypassed the usual vetting process.
Overwork only directly kills you if there is workplace accident because you worked long hours and your attention slipped and you drove off the road/ machinery fell on you etc.

Almost always overwork does not kill "directly", if your premise is alcohol and tobacco is not controlled, my question is then how much of alcohol or tobacco consumption is driven by overwork.
Yes, with a catch: it requires an always on Mac (which can be in the cloud) or a jailbroken iOS device. We plan to make it work without the catch.

I've worked with 10+ messaging platforms so far and Apple's protocol is the most obfuscated and complicated to reverse engineer. Apple has invested millions of dollars to make the iMessage protocol super hard to reverse engineer. It's how they sell tons of iPhones after all:

Anything critical of the failure that is the United States, it's crumbling democracy or the Frank insanity inflicted upon the world by the psychopaths operating out of silicon valley.

I have no disagreement with the points you make, but they seem to tell a different story than one in which ideas of freedom, of the possibility of liberty for all, of equality of men were necessary. Watt's great invention came on the eve of Britain's attempt to suppress these dangerous ideas in its American colonies.

To be fair, I think freedom and individuality are part of the story, but that story is more sociological than philosophical. In part, I wonder if it is a consequence of the reformation and counter-reformation, which arrived at an accommodation in which the populace was allowed some freedom in how it conducted itself, so long as it did not challenge the authority of the state.

it was in USSR, so there would have been natural delay in the stuff getting printed there, and also it may have been end of 80-ties. My point here isn't about specific numbers and dates, it is that relatively short period between me reading about the limit and experiencing it getting broken left me with big doubts about the limits, and made me thinking about them more as the limits of our world view and less as real physical limits. Similar like "c" happens to be a speed limit only in the fixed spacetime.

Sort of. $ can go to payroll, but net revenue is still up by PPP amount. So owners can get a performance bonus, and it just happens to be the PPP amount. But if there was no PPP, there wouldn't have been that extra cash, so less $ for bonuses.

This only works if the company was breakeven, or had $ reserves (eg, VC funded w expectation of ever-growing losses)
You can do that.

At a strong risk of over-simplifying, this is a problem solved by regulation. The problem is that you're suggesting we regulate the average citizen by replacing their money with rationed supplies.

You've got it all wrong, the average citizen is entitled to freedom within the bounds of the law. The institutions and the corporate abstractions are entitled to regulation and more restricted bounds of law, they are not entitled to more freedom than a human being.

Our current situation with corporate power is evidence of a total failure of Western capitalist ideals. We've fucked up worse than communism because communism (at least with the USSR) ended, but we fund and support the same atrocities ourselves nonetheless, with our supposedly superior ideals.

I'd be interested to know more about what the developer workflow is like on these. Like, do you always build the application as a unikernel, and run it locally on qemu or vmware? What is it like debugging something like that? What is the story for incremental builds?

Or do you basically have to maintain a port of your software so that you can also run it on Linux with all the creature comforts of a normal system? If it's that, do you get weird bugs that only happen in prod and which are a gigantic pain to understand and work through?
Could that be confusing cause and effect? Maybe some workers choose to retire when they're diagnosed with a serious medical condition and know they don't have long to live. If my doctor told me I had an incurable disease with only months to live then the first thing I would do is quit my job.

That seems ancillary to the GP's point, which was pointing out an overall wealth transfer rather than inveighing against COVID loans.
The article is about australia, not the U.S. And in the U.S. the legislature isn't acting because the public doesn't want it to act. People are not buying into the hysteria and they have no wish to chase even more carbon intensive industries to China, which is now producing more carbon gases than the rest of the world combined, and those emissions are growing at 8% a year. Rational people look at that, look at the dismal track record of these end of the world predictions, and conclude that there doesn't seem to be much point in punishing domestic industries and incentivizing them to move even more production to Asia.

I get that this enrages people who are still clinging to the idea of a global consensus, but China has effectively shut the door on that option, and the consensus was primarily just among elites in the west. So it's understandable that politicians in the west are refusing to act, whereas judges and those insulated from public opinion are free to wring their hands.

Personally as a college student, all my friends use iPhones still. I have always wanted to switch to andriod, but one of the things that really holds me back is the fact iMessage still feels leagues above how SMS and texting works on andriod. Many subtle features of Imessage really make a difference with the overall texting experience on the iPhone over the long term.

Most of my friends do not have whatsapp, and we are constantly sharing photos and video. Regular SMS can barely send pictures let alone videos, and I don't want to go through other means to simply shoot my friend a quick video of something.
> What's interesting is that a lot of controllers leave out the derivative term

This is because a PD controller controlling system X is equivalent to a PI controller for the system (dX/dt). For example, a PI controller adjusting force to control velocity is equivalent to a PD controller adjusting force to control position.

If your system has a strong "momentum-like" term (larger than its damping), you need a derivative term to stabilize it. So a force-position controller needs D, but a room heater does not, because when you stop heating the room, the temperature doesn't keep coasting upwards (usually - there can be some phase lag if your sensor is far from your heater, or if your room is on fire).

A force-velocity controller (cruise control) also does not have "momentum", as you can see from the fact that if you stop applying force, velocity stops increasing immediately.

Light power measurement is proportional to photon count, for monochromatic source. More photons is more power. Anything that reduces the number of photons hitting a target reduces the power that target sees.

The typical bathroom mirror is around > 80% reflective, but this damage is from the reflection off of the skin of the patient, not a mirror. Skin is much less reflective than a mirror, and it's still enough to damage the sensor. So, that should give a sense of the kinds of powers involved.
Excited for this! While OpenAI has generated plenty of overhyped results (imo as an AI researcher), their focus on large scale empirical research is pretty different from most of the field and had yielded some great discoveries. And with this being started by many of the safety and policy people from OpenAI, I am pretty optimistic for it.

Perhaps with social media it applies as much to younger people as well.
I don’t think people are assuming hostility, the article explains that it simply means a different thing e.g. laughter instead of positivity.

My sibling comments are a bit cynical. Considering the widely reported stress on health care workers during the pandemic I'd suspect that number may be higher than one would think despite the millions working on throwaway products.

Obviously, society should incentivise that those professions that are overworked and useful to society hire/train more, so they are not that overworked.
