Because we don't want to do the hard work. We tried it already. We initially started by managing all our own infrastructure, building our own APIs from the ground up and it turns out that's really hard. If anything we can never match the depth and experience of someone who's already doing it. So it just makes more sense to partner. We can probably provide some nice features on top for caching and whatever else to protect the third party API but otherwise the goal is to bring together a fragmented market.

Looking at it another way. I worked on open source for many years. Seeing what AWS has done to open source projects, it's a really dishonourable thing and while I get they're running a business I think there were better ways to go about it than just lifting a project and running it themselves. So for us it's really about building a trustworthy business that empowers individual devs and small teams. And you can't do that if you try to cut out the people who got you to where you wanna go.
I recently came to learn—for those also unaware—that it wasn't just indigenous people that were put into residential schools. There were also the Doukhobors among probably other groups.

Right, at least for some people. Still, a lot of environments don't really support all those options for pushing change. If you're running an organization, you're hamstringing yourself if the ways to push ideas that introverts find natural are dead ends in practice.

Covid-19 Delta Variant Is Less Fatal Than Flu?
The team didn’t want to improve too much as they saw no way to repeat the improvement so they didn’t want to raise the bar and be unable to clear it next cycle.

A more concrete example of this was where a friend of mine built a system to automate a report and did something in record time.

He didn’t share it and sat on the report for a few days as he wasn’t that proficient with SQL at the time so didn’t want to give the impression that things could be done that quickly and make that the expected norm.

So the company itself would have liked the innovation. The employees were concerned about the new problematic expectations it might create.
I have lived in 4 countries, and 3 continents and everyone I have lived with agreed that it's not useful for the whole family to know how much you make.

"Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." -Steve Jobs
I was reminded of another chart that I see on a US-based media organisation (can't remember the org, sorry, but definitely not CNN) that has an inverted y-axis.

I thought of John Kennedy the first time, took the game about 55 questions to get to it, it didn't until it knew that he was a US president, was assassinated (as far as I know only Lincoln and Kennedy meet those two criteria together) AND that he lived in the 20th century, so it couldn't even rule out Lincoln. Next game I thought of Cameron Diaz, the game simply gave up after the 25th question or so.

It's a pretty neat idea overall, reminds me of those link-following competitions using Wikipedia where you have to start from a topic and get to another completely unrelated topic solely by recursively chasing links. They both exploit the interconnected nature of our culture, a question (or an article) about a recent TV show providing a clue (or a link) about a pretty unrelated historical character.

The game desperately needs some notion of statistical proximity though, it kept asking whether the character was an actor even after knowing he is a president, it doesn't do _any_ kind of deduction on what it already knows, just mad slash-and-dash till it gets the identifying info.

I found this project a while back when I was searching for information on how to drive lavet stepper motor[1] inside these kind of clocks[2].

My project is similar in a way that you have to manually drive this motor, idea is to convert existing 12-hour clock to 'week' 168-hour clock. Hour hand would make full rotation only each 168 hours, showing current day of the week and approximate part of the day.

Very cool project to tinker with electronics and gears, you have to figure out timing(30ms energize, 970ms rest, repeat in reverse polarity) and how to drive motor(use half-bridge circuit or motor driver)[3], you have to deal with inductive 'kick' flyback voltage spikes and protect IC from it[4], and figure out mechanical gears[5] (typical quartz mechanism[6])

I believe that this has been true at some points in the past, but is not true for the majority of the current slate of billionaires, most of whose wealth comes from activities during their lifetime.

It's a robber baron period, not a dynastic wealth period.

I believe that GOG.com doesn't accept games that rely on the steam runtime; I know some games which have Linux ports aren't available on GOG.com because of this.

Whether this matters is up to the developer. But it's a potential downside.

The pandemic made me appreciate Valve’s original games push for Linux a few years ago because I switched and found myself appreciating the only-a-few-years-old games that had Linux Native versions in my backlog.
I think I saw some stats showing that beyond the top 1 percent of websites, the usage goes way way down meaning they wouldn’t cost much to maintain. As for the 1 percent, there would probably be various solutions depending on the situation and more ethical ways to advertise.

I’d pay for a non-tracking YouTube, email, news, and a small fee to access my banking online.
If we wanted to be truly scientific about this and make for an interesting conversation, we would try to get to the bottom of this instead of shooting down the OP.
Sure - there's no problem with valuing those shares at $0.001 in general, because there's not much that valuation matters for in the short term (eventually you will pay different taxes depending on the end result of your company).

However, Roth IRAs specifically are a tax shelter and have contribution limits, so valuations matter a whole lot for them (difference in $0.01 per share vs $0.001 per share would be a difference of $500M vs $5B today). That's why I think illiquid (or non-market cleared) securities should not be allowed in Roth IRAs.
Per their about page[0]:

> We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account.

As you said, the "abuse of power" here is someone (likely) at the IRS leaked these documents. Someone with the power over others taxes chose to share that info. Then ProPublica is then using this information to push a tax story that they want.

I have seen some people build Ceph clusters using the HC2 board [1] before. I'm not sure what the performance is like, but it seems like a neat way to scale out storage. The only real shortcoming is that there's a single NIC... If there were two, you could use an HA stack for your network and have a very robust system for very cheap.

If they intended something else, then why didn't they write the rules to reflect "else"? The truth is that they didn't think that any Roth IRA investor would be as successful as Thiel. He showed that he can be. Good for him.
NASA has a Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office developing on-site robotic servicing capabilities for the Hubble and other large satellites. This is connected to the On Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing program at NASA Goddard. They've been working toward this for a decade.[1]

It's a great system. The only real pain I've run into with it, on macOS anyway, is that you can't isolate iCloud accounts and still receive texts on your Mac. So unless you have a separate phone for each client, that's not so great. Also, the lack of profiles on iDevices means any client-specific apps (2fa stuff, for instance, or if you like to have Slack on your iDevice, or dev/testing apps, or whatever) ends up in a shared space on there.
I've done this before with one VM per client. Makes archiving etc. simple also, and means that per-client setup stuff never tramples on each other.

Gives an answer for how you firewall sensitive data also, e.g. every document you gave me never existed anywhere except in this (potentially encrypted) VM. Easy to delete cleanly.

FWIW, with JAMF, your employer can ship it straight from Apple to your door, and still get their MDM all over it the second it connects to the internet the 1st time.
It's obvious for you, a human. There's no human curating those results (it's completely infeasible at Google's scales) and their graph building algorithms are extremely dumb. They are proprietary, but all of them are, so I'm sure Google's are too. The rules that could be added are obvious for each case, but there are trillions of possible cases, and there's no feasible way to create rules for even a small percent of them. So what you get is a giant mess of data that kinda sorta works most of the time, and spectacularly fails on any exception or complicated scenario. That's what we pay for doing such a massive information processing with such a relatively small amount of resources.

This isn't some complicated double-dutch tax sheltering scheme though. It's functionally the same as using your Roth IRA to buy a lottery ticket and winning. The vast majority of startups fail.

It's just a super simple investment that succeeded because his startup won.
I think you are missing the point of GP. There is nothing billionaire specific about what Thiel did. You could have done the same with the same Roth contributions. If the law is changed it will not only limit Peter Thiel from doing this but also you and me.
Sounds like you would want more manual control over routing if you could have it. You and I want the same type of thing. I'm an end user not an administrator. I just prefer manual control over DNS. When I do purely authoritative lookups I see all the queries made. The way admins have configured things, it can be grossly inefficient, not to mention brittle. With one popular CDN, I can see something like seven queries just to resolve the IP address of a single domain name. I can alleviate some of the inefficiency and unecessary dependencies manually by querying certain servers directly. Geo-based routing makes sense sometimes (most times, perhaps) but, as you point out, not always. Sometimes with CDNs I will retreieve content from certain servers that so-called "smart" DNS-based routing would not recommend. Because in some cases they are in fact faster for me. The point is that it should be the user's choice which server to use. "Smart" stuff, letting others make decisions for us, should be optional not mandated; because, let's face it, this stuff isn't always as "smart" as it could be.

I should clarify what I meant by "there is no technical advantage anymore". There was a time when "personal" computers and internet were so slow, users could not be expected to do their own lookups. No one could be expected to run "BIND" on their own computer. Running something like Unbound, "Pi-hole" (dnsmasq) or countless other options was not feasible like it is today. A shared DNS cache run by a third party made sense. What I am suggesting is those days have passed. One of the authors of the popular O'Reilly books on DNS, a so-called "DNS expert" that most DNS administrators followed back in the early days, more or less admitted this many years ago. Technically, no one needs DNS "nannies" anymore. Users have the ability to exercise some manual control, if they so choose. I do my own DNS-based blocking.

Anyway, that's how I see it. One person's opinion.
It is available on Pro but not Home unless you disable all Internet access while doing the install.

On Windows 11 it seems like they are saying you won't be able to install Home without an active Internet connection.
For that matter, why is it even being used in laptops today? It is just because the sunk cost in tooling for it incentivzes LCD makers to market it as The Standard Resolution™?
I'm trolling? No, I'm being completely genuine. The present-day Democratic Party is objectively more right-wing, authoritarian, and nihilistic than it was 50-60 years ago.
if you peek outside of math/physics it's pretty much landscape of relative truths; imho ideal thruth/fake news detecting machine would simply require axiomatic/weighted input, ie. "I trust MIT with public key 0x..., youtube jesus from la with public key 0x... and my childhood mate 0x..." – based on that is "X true, false or undefined"? (weighted output). Because I trust MIT with weight ie. 500% and MIT trusts Caltech, my trust graph will favour Caltech view of the world. Yes you can throw blockchain and AI into it and it actually makes sense.
Nice try, serial killer ;)
If done by a majority of countries, it would greatly reduce the military threat of China invading Taiwan, because it would imply that those countries would not ignore an invastion or only protest inconsequentially, which is what China can currently assume rather confidently.

Even the US has been very carefully not fully committing to a defense of Taiwan, giving China the impression (according to some reports) that they might get away with it if they just act quickly enough.

Of course, none of this affects non-military threats to TSMC's production, like earthquakes.

Voter privacy for digital voting doesn't solve much. It doesn't seem to be possible to both cryptographically prove to a voter that their vote was counted correctly (integrity) while simultaneously preventing them from being at risk of coercion to share who they voted for (privacy).

> That’s a trivial number of parts and vendors for a hardware company, but stating the obvious, Backblaze is a software company.

Stating the obvious: Backblaze wants investors to value them like a SaaS company. This blog post suggests they’re more of a logistics and product company— huge capex and depreciating assets on hand. As a customer, I like their product, but they’re no Dropbox. If they would allow personal NAS then I could see them being a software company.
Minimum wage should simply keep up with cost of living divided by the reasonable working hours.

Like: cost of living is $1800 a month divided by 3 full days a week times 4 (12), times 8 hours = 1800 / (348) = 1800 / 96 = $18,75 per hour.
The law is an evolving code as we discover new scenarios. This reporting is exploring one of those unexpected scenarios so we can understand the need to change the law.

That reminds me how my first car was blue-green, or turquoise, to me, but other people would often call it "green". The official color name according to the manufacturer was "Tahitian Green", I think.

Under sodium lights, it would look blue to me, but under other lighting, I considered it to be a blue-green. But it never made any sense to me to consider it primarily green.
> but is not true for the majority of the current slate of billionaires, most of whose wealth comes from activities during their lifetime

Huh you're right. I guess that's a source of hope!
They should do the same with popular news. Take any report and complement it with facts the reporter omitted.
> This is the law functioning as intended. Thiel's case is a one-in-100-million+ event. He may have the only Roth IRA in existence that's valued at over $5 billion. But he didn't do it by exploiting some sort of "loophole" or paying high-priced accountants to shield his assets in foreign entities offshore. He put his investments in a Roth IRA just like any of you can do. The only difference is his investments were in the top 0.0001% in terms of performance. That's generally how people get to be billionaires.

No. Roth IRA's have contribution limits, and at a minimum I'm sure he exploited some loophole to get his adjusted gross income down below $110,000 so he could make that $2000 contribution in 1999 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/p590--1999.pdf). Look at his work history:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel: He then earned his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1992.[7] After graduation, he worked as a judicial law clerk for Judge James Larry Edmondson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, as a securities lawyer for Sullivan & Cromwell, as a speechwriter for former-U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett, and as a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse. He founded Thiel Capital Management in 1996. He co-founded PayPal in 1999, serving as chief executive officer until its sale to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion.
> if it can just be ignored then Congress doesnt really have access.

Then fix that! Why do you have to go to the absolute extreme here and make everyone's finances public?
That the explanation is simple doesn't make the result any less obscenely defamatory.
From a NASA post 2 days ago[1]:

"The operations team is investigating whether the Standard Interface (STINT) hardware, which bridges communications between the computer’s Central Processing Module (CPM) and other components, or the CPM itself is responsible for the issue. The team is currently designing tests that will be run in the next few days to attempt to further isolate the problem and identify a potential solution."

So "can't figure out" sounds more like "haven't yet figured out", but they have remaining ideas to play through.

> If they intended something else, then why didn't they write the rules to reflect "else"?

If the web server didn't intend to allow a buffer overflow on POST requests, why did it improperly allocate memory?

I agree with you that we have a choice: should this be allowed? If not, how do we transition? If yes, do we want to place any limits on it in the future?
There's a lot of "one device versus two device" discussions here. I have a work laptop and a personal laptop that I use carefully to try and keep things separate. But, this means I'm now ~doubling the environmental impact of electronic devices (impact of production, disposal). So there's tension, in my mind, between the public/private work separation and minimizing the damage I'm doing the environment.

In all fairness, I suspect me buying 2 laptops every 3-4 years instead of one laptop over the same period is a small environmental impact compared to other things (air travel, dietary choices). But it also seems like that's not a reason for me to ignore its impact. And the aggregate cost of many people having 2 laptops instead of 1 is probably worth considering.

I thought about ways to only have one device (running my personal "machine" as a VM on my work laptop or vice versa) but couldn't come up with anything cleanly satisfactory.
Only factor 5? Earlier statistical studies came to factors 6 to 10. Now tests are easier and cheaper, maybe that's why.
nope. it's not solved. If anybody knows who you are, if you still live in germany, you will be fined. the law has nothing to do with an ending of the dns or some stupid shit. it only applies to juridical persons in germany.
I think you may be projecting some self esteem issues here.
I will be supporting it for as long as IE11 is installed on all computers.

Incredibly misleading statement.

You just linked to a list of processors for starting development of a new embedded Windows device.

99.9999% of people will never have to concern themselves with this. Microsoft would never limit support to CPUs released a few years ago.
>I especially read the faded comments and upvote

This seems to happen a lot more frequently here than anywhere else.

I'm not really sure what that says, other than people still read comments that are faded. Also that people shouldn't worry about self-censoring.

I don't have a problem with downvotes or the karma needed to do it, but

I do sometimes wish it were possible to reply to a dead comment, especially if you vouch for it and it's still dead.

Sometimes they're worth defending, or is relevant in a non-obvious way, and sometimes the comment itself is discussion worthy, as it relates to the topic, even if it's wrong or seems trollish.
