A very small percentage of people can afford to take those risks. Whether their venture has merit or not is orthogonal to that.

Paraphrasing Alan Kay (I think): What if the next Einstein is born in precarious socioeconomic circumstances with little access to education and sufficient time and resources?

And there are not only the young Einsteins but also plenty of smart, hard working people that are exhausted of wage labor and live paycheck to paycheck. They would gladly take things in their own hands, but they cannot risk their lives.

Capitalism and the free market would be so great, if people could actually participate.
This question was genuine curiosity so I'm a bit disappointed there was never a reply.

On reflection, I suspect the parent comment was referring to creating circular dependencies using lambdas and std::function.

For example, a class Inner wants allow notifying its owner when events happen, so it has a std::function member variable it uses for the callback function, and a class Outer has an instance of Inner as a member variable. But then passes as a callback:

m_inner.set_callback([self=this->shared_from_this()](Param p){ self->handle_inner(p); });

Now Outer owns Inner (directly) and Inner holds a shared_ptr to Outer, so Outer will never be destroyed (and therefore neither will Inner).
The real question is "Who is the author?"

One thing is announcements, second thing is reality. If nothing changes and we will not have different batteries technology moving all UK cars to electric would require "two times the total annual world cobalt production, nearly the entire world production of neodymium, three quarters the world’s lithium production and at least half of the world’s copper" [1]. And this is just UK.

I don't even mention other factors like charging time (during vacation time we have queues on gas stations, where fueling car lasts 2 minutes), extending abilities of electric grid to meet larger demand, fixing last mile electric network to do the same. There are some ideas like bidirectional charging, smart charging, etc. but we don't know if we any of this can be actually applied.

Car manufacturers are very happy about EV cars, as they are very expensive, there are no trained non-official repair shops, parts supplirers, so people are forced to use official, overpriced repair channels, so they keep pushing them.

One of the cancers they mention is pancreatic cancer.

A quick Google search suggests the prevalence of pancreatic cancer in the population is 13 per 100,000.

So if you gave this test with a 0.005 false positive rate and 0.5 true positive rate to 100,000 people it would miss diagnose 500 people and only correctly detect 7 cancers.

So given you had a positive test result there would be a 1-(7/500)=98.6% chance you did _not_ have pancreatic cancer.

Doesn't seem very useful in that light...
good decision
I've said it before and I'll say it again: consumer tech sucks. From routers and NASes with back doors to lighting systems and thermostats that "need" someone else's computer to function (as though their onboard CPU isn't more powerful than yesteryear's PCs), "caveat emptor" couldn't possibly be more true.

Even though I enjoy building my own systems, it's a crying shame that I have to build my own whether I want to or not, and even Micro Center doesn't carry server motherboards with IPMI and a BMC.
Seems fair to not like London for those reasons (likewise from whenever I’ve been though it!), but even then I guess I am slightly surprised you find it so bad you’d not want to raise a family in it. (That said, the pandemic has made me broody, so I get different weighing on what you want from life).

The good news is cities don’t need to be like that.
Just checked... yeah... you can arrange so that an encrypted enclave can only run on a specific machine through careful use of SGX primitives. So I think your idea would probably work.

Installing Windows 11 on Legacy BIOS Without Secure Boot
That is very true my friend. I share the same opinion.

This progress tracker only shows the planning until Q1 2022. If you expect a final release then, the joke is on you. The planning timeline will always be extended. Features will always be added. It is a proven business model. Releasing a finished game, however, not so much.
What would then be a way to phrase the question with minimal bias in your opinion? What are these benefits I'm missing out on when I deactivate tracking?

Also, judging by the screenshot in the article, Apps can show text to justify the tracking, so they have all chances to phrase that with bias in their favor! Still people don't want it.
But this is precisely what Julia allows you to do.

Your function may be written for numeric, and you use your favorite kind exclusively.

Now person B from this thread comes along, using both ints and floats. Well guess what, your package still works seamlessly. And where it doesn't, it must be due to a particularity that you yourself don't care about. In any case, the function can then be extended without namespace issues.
In other languages, one would have to rewrite your package since you are using an obscure numeric type which others don't agree with.

Consider for example how people have used solvers for differential equations with entirely new datatypes, simply because the compatibility comes for free.

I think it's really neat!

> That's seriously messed up. I'd have to very seriously second-guess buying anything that involves software of any kind from this company.

If you connect a device to the Internet, you must maintain it. If it's a server, you need typically some system administrator behind. If it's a hardware object such as a camera or a NAS, you need a maintenance contract.

Having a device connected to the Internet without any maintenance is asking for troubles.

This is the only wrongdoing here for WD: not informing their customer that "end of life support" strictly means "DO NOT CONNECT ANYMORE TO THE INTERNET YOU FOOLS!"

The company and its developers should be liable. Developers know it is wrong and yet they do it anyway. The fact management told them to do it doesn't matter.

Real engineers don't sign off on a project if they think the building is going to fall apart. If a company starts ignoring security for the sake of profit, developers should react by literally walking out and refusing to have anything to do with the project. Anything else means they share the blame.
Just my 2 cents: Could it be that the way you present your experience is not focused? You've mastered many difficult topics and proved yourself in many intellectual demanding jobs, that would've made you a desire for many non-FAANG companies. But this time you're aiming for the best of the best, and for them, your achievements may only be average.

It could be that you need to select and prioritize your experience in your CV in such a way that tells the recruiter "I know what you're looking for and I've got it right here".

And even after you got that perfectly, somebody else still could snatch that job from you.

Not trying to sound deep or anything, just want to encourage you to try again :)

“Please don't waste maintainers' time on your KPI grabbing patches”
All the HN comments here say "buying/selling projects", which I guess is because the website itself says "buying/selling tiny projects".

However this is very different to buying/selling businesses (i.e. going concern with books up to date), and the search interface doesn't let me specify that I want to buy something with at least one paying customer (i.e. a business).

I'd be interested in buying a going concern (even if it's going off a cliff), but not someone's weekend attempt to learn a new web platform whose only hits are from search engine indexing and people who got there by mistake.

Seems like all you'll be buying here are snippets of working code, which is not very valuable in and off itself.

In my experience with chatting to people who were pro-Brexit, a lot of those people were especially enjoying the benefits of the EU but hadn't even realised it (eg living in communities neglected by the UK government who had received EU funding for regeneration).
Imagine I’m Peter Thiel and I have obtained 1 million shares of PayPal at $.01 each. After 20 years I’m going to be able to sell these at $1000 each (all numbers made up). Thiel can now do one of two things:

1. Roth IRA: Pay taxes on the value of the principal up front, but not pay taxes on appreciation. Let’s say a 20% tax rate (made up for simplicity), so 20% x .01 x 1M = $2,000. Thiel writes a check for this relatively small number.

2. Traditional IRA: pay no (immediate) taxes on the principal up front, but pay taxes on the appreciated value. So assuming the same tax rate: 20% x 1M x $1000 = $200M.

Your math is correct, of course. The mistake is assuming that Theil would pay taxes by selling 20% of his inordinately valuable $.01 PayPal shares, even though technically (after appreciation) those would be worth $200M. That would be stupid —- obviously he wouldn’t do that, he would just write a check from his bank account — selling that principal would be absurd since such shares can’t be purchased or sold on any liquid market. The entire purpose of using a Roth IRA here was that Theil had access to a unique, non-liquid asset with a potential for extremely high appreciation, and he wanted to insure himself against paying taxes in the likely event that happened.

IMHO a part of the problem here is that the initial “price” of PayPal wasn’t determined by the market. So allowing Theil to pay taxes at that rate made it absurd for Theil to sell any of his principal to pay taxes. Even if you grant that PayPal was basically a lottery ticket, we shouldn’t use a middle class tax vehicle to shield taxes on assets that the middle class (broadly) doesn’t have access to in public markets.

The building was occupied after the business was closed. The equipment seems to be unused by the occupiers and well preserved. If McDonalds plan for the building was abandonment or demolition the illegal occupation seems to have zero negative impact to their business. If the plan was to sell the building, most likely it had a positive impact to their business.

I see no angle where this action could have a moral hazard effect that could prevent future business from investing in that neighborhood
Not by itself, we'll need more than 1 factory. But the whole "impending battery problem" is in itself a bit of a misleading title. Demand for batteries is likely to go through the roof in the next decades. That's not a problem but an enormous opportunity that companies like Northvolt are capitalizing on.

There are many challenges related to battery production and even more companies competing on solving those problems. Sourcing materials like lithium, cobalt, etc. in a sustainable way is one of those challenges and there are multiple companies working on that. It's a solvable problem. It could be as simple as just forcing companies to source responsibly and only work with suppliers that have some really strict policies against using child labor.
No it won't. The example GP has given didn't kill any industry either.

Open source projects seldom get popular overnight. Responsibilities grow as you get more popular, that is all...
If you are talking about Germany then no. Germany is maximizing CO2 emissions by delaying the shutdown of coal plants. If anything, energy prices are high because coal plants force renewables off the grid and the EEG is anti efficient in the sense that it makes cheap electricity very expensive.

Shifting the tax burden to coal plants in the form of CO2 taxes would result in a much lower electricity price and would allow the abolishment of the EEG surcharge. Not to mention all the GDP growth that you get for free by increasing the domestic investment rate.

> Would it make sense to "sugarify" currying even further? For instance, `f[x][y][z]` could become something like `f→[x y z]`.

Technically it could be done. Does it make sense? Depends on what are you trying to achieve. Personally I tend toward an _extremely_ minimalist approach and the complexity of that would not be worth it for me. In fact today I'd question the addition of `|` and `!` as too specific.

The syntax you proposed does save a few brackets, but the functionality could also be achieved with a specialized function:

→[f x y z]

So I'd stick to that unless I found a more compelling reason to include the sugar.

Israel is partly bought, partly doled out by UN and partly won in war.

Yes, many Arabs were displaced and with a course enough resolution there was an Arab within x kilometers everywhere in what has become Israel.

Also at the same time even more Jews where chased out from the countries around.

At no point did North American tribes drive out more Europeans (or any at all) than Europeans drove out Native Americans.

There can hardly be peace until we get the facts straight, both ways, so we should strive for that.
