There wasn't an expectation that libraries would work nor was there an expectation that the transition should be quick. That's from listening to conversations at PyCon 2008 and 2009. Back then I got the feeling that this would result in a bumpy ride later on, but accepted it because I was new to Python. It has similarities to how packaging was treated historically.

I think this precipitated a number of other problems which meant that by Python 3.3 and 3.4 inertia had set in. There appeared to be a bit of a panic that code wasn't being brought over from Python 2. This resulted in flipflopping on a recommended approach which I would argue was an unnecessary problem. There should have been a deeper assessment of the situation.

It was was only in this timeframe that differentiated features started appearing for CPython 3. My experience from the PyCons when CPython 3 was in the early versions was that attention went to possible alternative runtimes. There was a lot of energy going into PyPy, Unladen Swallow, and the like while language features for regular devs were limited.

It's only later that a coherent strategy started to form around porting libraries, providing clear and unchanging guidance on migration to Python 3, and big projects committed to migrating. I'm missing a few things, but this combination started to build real momentum.

The backend runtime stuff and the limitations of CPython still existed, but Cython and other tools helped ML usage of Python grow. I don't think people who weren't Python fans would have predicted that given the performance constraints.
There are a lot of virtual office tools out there (I'm not affiliated with any so I feel comfortable asking this question). What makes Spot compelling vs. the alternatives? And if the main difference is 3D, how have you leveraged that to create a differentiated experience?
My question was about FAANG-level salaries specifically though. You're probably not going to be able to buy a house near the office on that salary, no. But renting is still a viable option.

To provide an anecdote: my wife and I moved to the Bay Area from Kansas City and housing as a portion of after-tax income increased from 16% to 24% renting a smaller single-family house with the same bedroom count (significantly smaller yard though), but my income is over 3x higher out here. I might not be building equity by owning a home, but I have invested most of the additional income and am way ahead of my salaried homeowning friends in the midwest on net worth. Plus we get to spend most of our weekends in the mountains.

tl;dr: It really depends on your income, lifestyle, and priorities whether it adds up in the end.

I think the main issue isn’t that people don’t recognize that discrimination exists, they’re just annoyed at who it’s being targeted at and how it [not] working.

One main thing is that white people as a whole need to atone for slavery, even though the vast vast majority (poor southerners, northerners, immigrants from after the civil war) had nothing to do with it. And secondly, that race is used to only talk about the issues facing black people, not whites. Poor white people (in WV, the South, etc.) are just as poor as black people, yet get no help in things like university admissions or job placements.

And for Asians (inc. Indians), they (disclaimer: I am of Asian descent) also receive material disadvantages (I have zero chance of getting into an Ivy League, nor will I ever receive assistance programs for minorities) so that black people have a level playing field. Positive discrimination works, but not in its current form.
Ban cryptocurrency in the US. The crypto market would immediately tank. Other western companies would likely follow suit. US sanctions can be issued against exchanges, if desired. Obviously cryptocurrency could still continue in this scenario, but transferring money from USD to crypto would be much more difficult. And the value of coins would be so low and probably continuing to fall that it wouldn’t be as appealing a means of ransom.

I don’t want to labour the point as I’m no expert, but is it enough to be close enough to the target and lock on? The rocket has some amount of kinetic energy for manoeuvering, and presumably less at the terminal stage. If the initial radar fix puts it in the wrong position/velocity relative to the target, can it make up for it with its own late lock-on?

I understood this is why you need that precise radar fix: you need a pretty good idea of the target trajectory so the chasing missile is not only in the right place, but also flying at an advantageous angle relative to its target.

As for on-missile guidance, I thought that was a thing since a long time ago? The radar guides initially, then the final stage is done by the rocket. Is there something newer/different now?

Feel free to call me cynical, but do low level employees want systems like this? I've seen a few spacial chat systems pass through HN in the past few months. From a pure social application standpoint both spot and other options seem to be reasonably well executed, though it seems at odds with the natural flow of workplace interactions. I guess it might be a perceived lack of privacy in conversations? When talking to another individual in an online case it's generally either fully public or fully private. Having unexpected intrusions in something with the base mentality of being private seems unpleasant.

Personally given the corporate cultures I've been in using a spacial social chat environment feels like it would lead to rather forced interactions, unnatural intrusions, and micromanagement of execs seeing interactions as something to be mismanaged rather than an organic phenomena. When used in a purely social sense the tools seem great and plenty novel (due to lack of hierarchies and allowing multiple unrelated conversations to form and occur simultaneously), just not in the current application domain?

Who knows, perhaps I just have been dealing with orgs with bad culture, but I struggle to see the concept adopted well. Great looking execution though despite my reservations.
Tesla's apparently been building that for their semi's?

In general it doesn't seem like an issue. Your local grid may or may not be able to directly load balance that much energy, but even if it can't, you judge add some storage batteries at your charging station to deal with the load balancing.

This guy is the head of diversity. His job description involves him ideally having a) having a certain open state of mind b)the trust of the people he is dealing with. So this blog post disqualifies him since it demonstrates he lacks trait a) and he will most likely be lacking b) in the future making him totally useless at his job. So this is not a punishment, just a consequence of past misdeeds. If this man had been born white, the consequence would have most likely been that he would have never received this role in the first place. So i don't see how this is different in any way

Of course it's problematic. That's why most countries have land and vehicle registries managed by a trusted authority. If people had to rely on titles of ownership issued by random strangers it'd be chaos.
Exceeded authorized access commonly refers to privilege escalation, which means access to a resource beyond his/her level of granted permission, whether by modification of technical controls, social engineering, or physical access. That is not what happened here. The access to the resource occurred exactly in accordance with the access controls and authority granted, but the motivation and intention were in clear ethical violation.

Judge Barret said exactly this in her opinion.

Oh wow, my first job in the industry was building something very much like this!

It was actually quite powerful: the UI and simulation were done by Microsoft Project (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/project/projec...), which I would describe as "the Excel of project management" in that it was an ENORMOUS bag of features for building Gantt charts. The coolest part was that it integrated with Outlook's calendar, so if a task started on June 1st, was assigned to Bob, took two weeks, and Bob was on vacation from June 8th-22nd, it calculated the end date for the task as the end of June.

The Monte Carlo part was run by Crystal Ball (which was a startup then, but has since been acquired by Oracle). It was a mature tool, so there was a big library of probability distributions (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E57185_01/CYBUG/define_assumption...), you could enter correlations (if X task takes a long time, Y is going to take a long time too), and you could analyze the output in all sorts of ways (how sensitive is the deadline to this task, how frequently is this task on the critical path, etc.).

The implementation was quite a hack - a hidden instance of Excel running Crystal Ball and lots and lots of VBA to manage everything. I'm not sure that it was ever used for real :(

> SS is paid for by higher wages, which happens when there are less workers, not more

SS is paid for by wages in aggregate, not on average.

Either of more workers paying into social security or an increase in average wages (assuming that the increases are below the threshold at which income taxes fund SS) will increase the amount of funds available for SS.
Historically most (if not all?) of the nations had to have some appetite for war and killing - otherwise they would not have become nations.

Yup. Just do "STEM research" and it will be fine. For others who do not even express views, forget inappropriate views "Silence is violence".
The amount of bloodshed then is responsible for the humanization now by steadily removing the most violent and anti-social from the gene pool. How is a horse or dog domesticated? Humans are no different.

And I think whiggish history needs some correction. Judicial torture (what the US constitution calls “cruel and unusual punishment”) for example was practiced in the secular courts long after they achieved independence from state religions. The story of how compassion became the paramount human virtue (if indeed it has) is a lot less linear than you think.

The heart of this is the difference between legal authorization vs technical authorization. Legally, it is (or rather, used to be) OK to say "you have have access to data X for purpose Y." While the technical controls could not enforce restrictions on the purpose, it was understood that purpose limitation was valid. There was an understanding that technical controls are only an approximation of policy, and it's the policy that has legal weight when determining what access is authorized.

Hopefully this particular case also runs afoul of other laws. Like something about granting access to unauthorized individuals, which is what the defendant was doing (selling government data). That can, and perhaps should be, separately illegal from accessing data for improper purposes.

The argument against the dissent is CFAA defines the terms used. Ordinary reader rule does not apply in that circumstance and nor should it.
Good. The reason/case is sad, what a terrible cop, but a finding in the opposite is kind of scary. Like, make it a crime to look at news at work if the company disallows it.

"The Makefile is the single source of truth for dev commands"

This feels like when you set up a club for a hobby you enjoy, let's say it's beer pong, and you go on holiday for a month, you come back to find that your beer pong club is now full of people just chugging lots of beer and completely ignoring the game.

Please, make is a sophisticated tool with lots of good features. It is NOT a repository for "dev commands" whatever the hell that means. Make is a tool which takes targets, dependencies and recipes and turns them into a DAG which it then executes based on a set of criteria. If you want a glorified shell script which runs commands, why not just do a bash script with a switch in it? It's certainly going to behave a lot more like you expect. Why call it cake when it has almost nothing to do with make?
The court's hypothetical is useful:

> For instance, employers commonly state that computers and electronic devices can be used only for business purposes. On the Government’s reading, an employee who sends a personal e-mail or reads the news using a work computer has violated the CFAA.

Accessing data for a forbidden reason should be a fireable offense, but not criminal. So if Thomas is right, it's a very bad law.

I'm not sure I agree with him though. I think if you asked an average person, they might say something like "yes I am authorized to access that database, because I have credentials, but I'm not supposed to without a good reason". I don't think there is a single plain English reading of this phrase that any large group of people would agree on.
I don't agree.

I think the other judges have the better reading of the specific language of the text. Thomas, Alito, and Roberts don't even take their dissent on the interpretation offered by the Government, but have to craft their own—extremely broad—interpretation of "entitled".

Since I think the opinion (at least, the little bit of it that I've skimmed) makes a fairly compelling case around the majority's interpretation of the words "so" and "entitled" I won't rehash that here. But, if we back up to the purpose and intent of the legislation, I think this outcome also better aligns with that.

The CFAA was designed to curtain the unauthorized use of computers. To make it illegal for people to deliberately circumventing the security measures built into computers to obtain information or cause other harm. If I hand you a computer, tell you the password, and ask you to login to my computer and respond to an email for me, but then ask you not to look in the `Taxes` folder on the desktop should it be a felony for you to open the `Taxes` folder? That conceptually feels wrong to me. I have violated your trust, sure, but I haven't committed fraud, and I haven't abused any access control mechanisms on the computer.

Or another scenario: your work gives you a work computer, and has a paragraph in the employee handbook that says you are never allowed to visit news.ycombinator.com on the work computer. At some point while working at the company, you visit news.ycombinator.com on the work computer. Have you just committed a felony? You've "exceeded the authorized access", if you interpret "entitled" and "authorized" as broadly as Thomas, Alito, and Roberts seem to. Should that really be a felony?

That interpretation leads to such a massive broadening of felony criminal liability. It doesn't gut-check for me. That, combined with what I perceive as the better textual reading of the phrases "so" and "entitled", I have to disagree with you. I think the other 6 justices had the better argument at multiple levels.
If that were the outcome of said legislation, it would make the barrier to entry for executing a ransomware attack much, much higher than it is today. Wouldn’t that be a successful outcome?

You: ...this is pedantic and you're incorrect. I'm correct it's the "Arizona Democratic Party"

Say what now?
You joke, but some types of taxes are objectively worse than others. An ideal tax would have to generate sufficient revenue, be non-distortionary, inexpensive, and fair.

We can argue about what's "fair" all day, but "inexpensive" is more objective: some taxes hamper more economic activity than others. A $1 tax on a stock trade will reduce exactly $1 of economic activity. It's so expensive, it's basically pointless. A land value tax, on the other land, is almost free. (And in some cases, negative!)

Most taxes fall somewhere between these two extremes, but corporate income taxes are one of the most expensive, which is why economists aren't big fans of them.

> For what it's worth, there's no way you can force every image manipulation tool and library to respect the NFTs,

Correct. But the license owner can require the license buyer to use editors that preserve NFTs or be subject to automated DMCA notices. Once Adobe and Apple start respecting the NFT-copyright-format in their tools, other commercial vendors will be forced by the market to support it too.

Again, I'm not in favor of any of this. Just admitting that I am pessimistic enough to see where all of this could end up eventually.
I'd agree with this, while it may be possible, if you can already launder the coins just stick with that and forget about the NFT angle which would just be more surface area for a mistake.
