Or paid the entity running the malware HTML editor. It's probably injecting links to a variety of sites who paid them for placement.
I'll concede that it's a fuzzy line at times. But nothing I've heard so far here strikes me as justifying a belief that this case falls into "obviously theft of some kind of IP" category. OTOH, I'm biased as I am not generally a fan of the idea of "IP" in general, so there's that...
Everyone starts somewhere.
I think that’s somewhat the promise of Web 3.0 at this point. Painful to use and relatively empty. However, it’s mostly people hyping random crypto instead of actually creating value.
I'm not reading how the private key for the wallet was obtained. Anyone?
Oh, yeah, I didn't even mention this on my other comment, haha. Rust doesn't have dependent-types (except outside of a few niche places like const-generics) and only limited/non-user-exposed sub-structural types. There's a whole range of interesting applications that that those features open up, from compiler optimizations to formal verification.
I find it even funnier that it appears in a research paper:

(It's on page 24, at the bottom of the References section.)
Yep they have single static binaries now that are way more convenient. Better yet too, there's a nice docker image that's easy to use as-is or build on with your own plugins/filters/etc: https://hub.docker.com/r/pandoc/core
Hey dude. I understand things might be running a bit emotional for everyone right now. You might find it interesting that PG has written tangentially on this topic a few years ago. Might be an interesting take, given the distance in space/time.

What is the Private Relay?

The "private relay" feature first sends web traffic to a server maintained by Apple, where it is stripped of a piece of information called an IP address. From there, Apple sends the traffic to a second server maintained by a third-party operator who assigns the user a temporary IP address and sends the traffic onward to its destination website.

The use of an outside party in the second hop of the relay system is intentional, Apple said, to prevent even Apple from knowing both the user's identity and what website the user is visiting.

Very interesting. But what stops Apple from looking at the packet from the user device and seeing the destination address?

codesandbox.io is quite good too
I like it because it has lower a/v latency compared to many other apps, especially over long distances. I think many people don't realize how much it affects the feel of the call.

A fun way to test is counting to 10 by having one person say 1 and the other say 2 as soon as they hear the 1 and so on. You'd be surprised how long it can take to count to 10 on some apps
How would that work as a competitor to Akka distributed cluster sharding? That would require swift running on server side instead of scala/java, right?
should you be capable enough to write your own microcode, there is an elevated chance that you could also encrypt and sign that code like intel microcode.

> If you are hiring manager, have you felt the burn…

Hiring Managers are part of the problem-

They are largely divorced from the process of identifying, assessing, and attracting talented individuals.

Instead, they delegate that task to feckless, disinterested HR flunkies. (That’s HR’s job, isn’t it?)

More Hiring Managers need to get out in front of the recruitment process—- actually find and engage in conversation with potential hires.
It was a private conversation which Amjad himself stated he intended to turn into a public lawsuit. There should be no expectation of privacy here.
Then one could compare the performance of personal videos on Google Photos.
Hey, I mostly decided I didn’t have more energy for this thread than I already devoted. But I appreciate your response and you, and wanted you to know I feel very similarly.

Which isn’t to say I haven’t had my fair share of exploring non-gender-norm presentation. It just doesn’t matter that much to me other than what feels good for me at the time.

To a stranger’s eye, I present he/him. I have a big beard and a shaved head, im tall with broad shoulders. And I’m not at all motivated to challenge that perception (to the point my preferred pronouns are he/him/they/them and when I came out NB to friends and family I made it clear I don’t expect to be addressed differently).

What was important for me was acknowledging that I never felt any attachment to that he/him perception, except the painful part of navigating other people’s expectations not matching my reality.
> Not saying Capcom should profit without crediting the original artist.

Capcom "crediting the original artist" would have made this even worse for them, it'd then be a slam dunk admission of copyright infringement.

You cannot use a copyright work for free then "credit the original artist" to shirk your legal responsibility to negotiate a license to use the work.

There is no "grey area" here. (Arguably there _should_ be, and the hardline copyright stance the actual law takes is mostly Mickey Mouse's lawyers and lobbyists fault, but that's the world we live in...)

Those are buck converters, the MOSFETs in them tend to die either due to overheating or being run at the edge of design limits for long enough. It's rare that they die excitingly, however.

I don't see any circles.

As a general comment, this whole test procedure seems very crude. If I saw overlapping circles with my glasses on, like in some of your tests, I would say that my prescription was way off. A better prescription is necessary long before you get to that point.
That’s awesome! I’m interested specifically in using FDB with Clojure.

Did you look at Crux as well? (DB written in Clojure, has primitives to build changefeeds, opencrux.com).
pretty weird/low class move to build a free clone of the product you just worked on.

pretty petty decision to threaten to sue your former intern for his weird move.

also, threatening someone with money is a pretty surefire way to look like an asshole.

similarly petty decision to spend hours documenting everything to post on HN and start throwing mud in public.

everyone seems well within their legal rights but ethically seems like there were a lot of off-ramps for someone to be the bigger person and none were taken.
I wonder what database or file schema they use. Many would find that interesting, given the scale that hn has reached.
Except speed apparently. Goland and VS Code both have slow response times to clicks.

Really makes you wonder if the people at google actually use their own product. Anyone who has ever used google image search in the past couple of years will have noticed that it's filled to the brim with garbage results from pinterest.
Sure quibble about the details. The point is, these are all attempts to make PG more scalable. Around the time these projects got started Foundation looked like abandonware. If it hadn't, it's possible that "how can we have really scalable SQL databases?" might have had Foundation as part of the answer.
I've seen multiple tweets from you the last day regarding this where you definitely showed no regret and simply kept trying to prove you were in the right. Even this response tries to make people feel bad for you and divert empathy away from the person you attacked. And also implies the only reason you are relenting is because it's making the company you represent look bad.

So apologies are good but this seems the weakest sort of apology possible.
I feel the name "Niu York" is OK to me, but it is only my opinion (so not a "fact"). In fact, I feel it's better than a Mexican company named one of the most popular software products in the world as "New York".
Now one can only hope apple will add in code to run faceTime much slower on non-safari browsers, just like Google did with Firefox for meet. Ha. And then those practices will escalate and drive both companies to the ground :)

> In no way is this tied to copyright or fair use.

Contenting ID it _totally_ about copyright. The only reason Google built it is to reduce the exposure they have to claims of copyright infringement, by easily (way too easily it turns out) allowing rights holders (or anyone claiming to be one) to post-fact claim earnings from infringing use of copyright material. Just because Google demonetises your video and sends a share of ad revenue to Sony/Warner/whoever, that doesn't mean you _didn't_ infringe copyright.
This will play out as it always has been. In the end, nothing will happen because of this revelation. Investors will keep on funding and things will go on as usual.
Can you elaborate on what requirements these blob systems should have?

My understanding is object stores are typically “flat” by design to scale well (in contrast to a tree structure found in filenames).

For content addressing, are people using the keys in sophisticated ways or are the values being indexed? Any reason to push this complexity into the storage layer as opposed to composing the functionality?

Because it’s not North Korea’s government? You say that as if organizing and running a beneficent and just government is a trivial matter. People are evil and despotic, and every government is full of people.

> I wonder what made them take this path?

it was literally an email that surface on the Epic store litigation, where one Apple exec says (quote from memory) "We can't have facetime for android because that will remove the barrier for families to buy Android phones for their kids"

So it will be crappy and have TONS of limitations (wouldn't be surprised it it only work with one apple device hosting) because it is only for legal excuse reasons.
I doubt they could 51% Bitcoin with any sort of haste. Perhaps with a few year plan. Simply put it’s a procurement issue. There are limited ASICS and they are distributed among many operators, mostly foreign. There aren’t massive ASIC stockpiles in the US just waiting to be purchased. A government 51% attack would probably involve doing a private chip run.
Your parent gave an anecdote:

"I remember a story a few years past when a full line of CPU's went out with IME having no password set at all"

They describe a pretty serious snag. My experience of iDRAC/iLO/vPRO etc etc etc is that they have all had some pretty major problems.

Keep your monitoring/management interfaces on their own network/VLAN is my advice. While you are at it, get the logging and firewall rules sorted.
It does make sense to invest, but also makes sense to build these things at scale. Having a team of people micromanage your roof and electrical system already costs nearly same as equipment.
LINE is the default choice for "video call" here in Japan despite high market share of iPhone. In other countries, maybe WhatsApp, WeChat, etc is on same position.
It's always been random. They've never made a promise. Sometimes you get 10 years support like the Mac Plus, sometimes you get 5 years like an iMac G4. Heck Tiger "required" a built-in Firewire port.
If the Go support is amazing as proclaimed, that is an acceptable price to pay.
> One day I might make a website that explains how NTSC and PAL work in detailed but understandable way, but I keep putting it off indefinitely.

I've been meaning to do the same thing.

I had to learn a lot about NTSC/PAL just so I could calculate the correct aspect ratios for GameCube/Wii games in Dolphin Emulator.

It was a little annoying because none of the standards actually seemed to define which part of the signal had a 4:3 aspect ratio.

I actually implemented a small idealized emulation of the flyback transformers so I could still produce results if a game (or more likely homebrew) was to reconfigure VI for a non-standard timings with non number of vertical lines.

Though you probably know more about color encoding than me.

The main thing I really want to explain to people is how the 240p signal that older consoles output work when the TV is "expecting" an interlaced signal.

Charging a battery with another battery is extremely inefficient.

Lugging around laptop batteries is exactly the same thing as lugging around power banks, except laptop batteries don't require a dongle and a cable to tether you to a table.

Had a great time recently, reading aloud the story that starts with this sentence:

"It was not until several weeks after he had decided to murder his wife that Dr. Bickleigh took any active steps in the matter."
It says this in the article:

>As alleged in the supporting affidavit, by reviewing the Bitcoin public ledger, law enforcement was able to track multiple transfers of bitcoin and identify that approximately 63.7 bitcoins, representing the proceeds of the victim’s ransom payment, had been transferred to a specific address

That seems to imply that they didn't use a mixer.
Well, the author did post the entire email thread (redacting information that may be proprietary) on Imgur.

Personally, I think the Replit CEO could have explained what the specific issues were before threatening to sue. Since there was no explanation on the CEO's part, I think it's perfectly warranted for the author to make this public.

Not to disagree with you. Didn't Apple sue Microsoft for copying the Mac UI on copyright ground? I know they settled, not sure what's the real legal outcome of it.

Edit: Ok, just looked it up. Apple lost all claims on copyrighting the Mac UI.

Ask HN: Should you buy a car with cash if you can afford it?
I may be buying a car soon (nothing fancy) and I should be able to comfortably afford it without a loan. So I'd avoid interest, but this would mean I couldn't have that money in investments during whatever the loan period would have been. So it's unclear which approach works out to be better overall.

Obviously the exact answer depends on a lot of specific numbers that I'm not laying out, but broadly speaking, is this a sensible thing that people sometimes do or is it likely a bad idea?
> There is no reason to change his position on the subject of ex-employees making clones of the product.

Obviously I completely agree with this in a vacuum, but you seem to imply that that is what happened in this case. It was pretty clear from all the emails posted, assuming they were materially unaltered, that this isn’t what happened here. So your comment seems like a bit of a non sequitur, unless you’re saying that is what happened here?

Pfizer doesn't really belong in that list. They applied money to an already made invention and scaled up an existing manufacturing process along with a dozen other companies. Pfizer is not even the only manufacturer of the BioNTech vaccine, nor is it the first manufacturer to express interest, nor did it take any risk.

I'd say the most innovative company in the world is probably Alphabet or Samsung.
Backlinks are not as important as Google would have you think, they are a pretty weak ranking factor except in the deep tail of the web.

A post from a week or two ago about APL and cellular automata (I cannot find it) perhaps illustrated OP's sentiment better: it's easy for a language to do something easily and elegantly, but quickly become fantastically difficult to accomplish with the introduction of new—and sometimes mundane—constraints. The post showed how it was trivial to implement certain cellular automata in APL, but massively difficult to do when the automata became slightly more complex (while being trivial to update a Java implementation to accommodate the new complexity).

The practical difference between running on one server with one core and five servers with four cores is nothing—to YC it's a rounding error either way. If there's a meaningful problem (e.g., comments being computationally expensive to paginate well) that the language/runtime/system/etc cannot solve easily enough for it to be remedied in O(months), it does call into question whether the choice of language is the right one. Yes, it can be patched over by a human moderator. But it still highlights a significant weakness in the technology's core function.

Perhaps ironically, most YC companies (and by consequence, YC) would fail miserably if they chose purism and principle over pragmatism when it came to technology decisions.
Would that wording lead you to believe you have the right to republish the entire CDROM?

Every audio CD I own has "easy to use high resolution audio files" on it, I've never been under the misapprehension that I'm allowed to "use those in projects" without negotiating an appropriate license. I do know I'll "get away with" ripping those CDs to use on my iPod, or putting them in as background music to a limited viewership work presentation, but that if I "share" those files I'm risking a copyright lawsuit.

Why would images/textures be any different.
