Correct. It's not so much that the small ones are unstable, but just that there's a continuous curve of lifetimes that's a function of mass.

For the LHC, the lifetime of a black hole it could conceivably create would be 10^-86 seconds. It didn't even do that, but if it had, it would have evaporated before it moved the diameter of an electron. There's no functional difference between that black hole and a vastly bigger one besides the mass... but it's a difference of many, many, many orders of magnitude.
I can do this in Java and C with the right IDE.
Is there any evidence they're doing that? Moreover, if they would do that, wouldn't that be already be priced in by the insurance company, wiping out any potential gains?
Two days back I searched for Indian Govt. Tax website in Google(It had changed the website recently) after DDG did not produce desired result and logged into one of the top results.

The password manager didn't suggest my password, I attributed it to recently changed website domain or site quirk and quickly copied my password from the manager to the site only to get SSL certificate revoked notification.

I have logged into a phishing site mimicking the old url of Indian Govt.'s tax website. I quickly tweeted out to some journalists[1], The website went down soon enough.

I've never been phished before AFAIK(This wasn't targeted, I've protected myself from couple of targeted attacks & helped several others in the past) and even though this is embarrassing I want to state couple of reasons why my usual rationale didn't work this time.

1. The new tax website being quirky(to say the least) was on news constantly and my CA kept complaining about it for past several days. I expected a quirky website even before I logged in. Even our Finance Minister had complained publicly to the Chairman of Infosys(Who developed it) on Twitter about the issues with the site days earlier.

2. I made couple of prior searches in Google as I didn't get the website where there was login, So I think Google produced less trustworthy results on my final attempt. I've noticed this happen in the past as well in the Google i.e. When you enter the same search term couple of times, 3rd or 4th results are not same as 1st in the front page.

3. The muscle memory to check https and URL didn't help much as the site had SSL and the URL was close enough to old IT website's unmemorable subdomain URL. The 'filing' was 'filling', Domain was co.in instead of gov.in. (Which of course I didn't notice).

4. Password manager not working should've caused me to check the domain again, But (1).

I presume this was intended sequence of the events for the scammer, Especially since many are searching for old Income Tax website. But I never expected the phishing site to make it to Google front page this soon.

No, if it's a hobby, it's supposed to be enjoyable. I do enjoy programming. I could enjoy iOS development as much as Android development or server development so why not combine that with making money?
No, the problem here is that the whistleblower reward program is less effective than it should be because payouts are divorced from the effectiveness of the whistleblowing. If you set up a program that is supposed to reward a specific behavior, and then you don't actually reward that behavior, that is a problem.

As I said, the leveraging he did is mainly a problem for the lender, who is now out $1m, not him.

I am sure there are plenty of qualified people doing the necessary due diligence to figure out which features, or perception of features, customers are willing to pay for.

I doubt the executives at Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense, etc are sitting there and consciously choosing to keep people away from fast, dumb TVs for the hell of it. It is a cutthroat business with razor thin margins, no one is obviously making much money, so after all these years, I would surmise they are making decisions that allow them to stay in business after all these years.

Personally, I am biased towards Sony, and I am happy with the speed of the two consumer line TVs I have purchased. However, I only use them in conjunction with Apple TV, so I have no idea with changing channels or inputs or any of that is like.

> She wasn't normalizing hate speech, but she was reflecting hate speech, very much in public.

Even if that was the case (and do note that the claim that the "attack helicopter" phrase is hate speech is by no means uncontroversial), how does this excuse the Twitter trolls who hurled far greater amounts of hate speech at her? Is this the sort of moral code that the "woke" would want to universalize on our society in their inerrant pursuit of perfect social justice - lex talionis on super steroids? Come on, even on its most charitable reading this makes absolutely zero sense.
Sample syntax:

y = ( i>=1 .And. i<=Size(a) ? a(i) : -Huge(y) )

The proposal has been approved, but the final standard will be voted on, and it will take time for it to appear in compilers.

I.....must be missing something. All I keep reading are "Atlas got me close but I still had to do X or Y".

I formed an LLC in Missouri and it was like one or two forms. It was criminally easy. I paid taxes and ran the company for about five years, and last year it was acquired.

So, I say all that to show it ran the full gamut of being a business. What is everyone else doing that's so hard and takes more steps? It due to employees and the like (my LLC only ever had me, to be fair).
Rosebud AI (YC S19) | Fullstack Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time | http://blog.rosebud.ai/hiring/

Creators use Tokkingheads to make memes, deepfake parodies, NFTs, and most notably make their family and friends feel special with photos of past loved ones animated (1.8M views #tokkingheads hashtags on TikTok).

Responsibilities and what we are looking for:

* Build Great Products. We care deeply about what our customers want. We constantly iterate on our products and prototype new ideas. You must be very good at interpreting customer requests, translating them into great user experience, and implementing it in code.

* Tackle Challenging Problems. A lot of our underlying technology is based on machine-learning algorithms. ML-algorithms are often not designed to run in real-time and require unique runtime environments. You must have experience with cloud-based service-oriented asynchronous systems. You must also understand how to bridge the gap between asynchronous algorithms and synchronous user interactions with web and mobile applications.

* Prototype New Features. We meet our customers where they are. This means rapidly building prototypes end-to-end, including storage, business logic, and user experience.

* Productize Exciting Research. Our team includes engineers developing new machine-learning algorithms. You should be able to understand the constraints and requirements of algorithms and participate in productizing them.

Our stack: Flutter; React.js with TypeScript; Node.js with TypeScript running on Firebase Functions; Firestore and Google Cloud Storage; PyTorch wrapped in Flask and running in a Kubernetes cluster.

It must have been pretty straightforward. They have a supply chain that allows them to reap in the benefits from designing and selling phones, computers and other lifestyle electronics. That's the business model - sell devices. They don't make the screens or the hard drives or the processors or other components themselves. They have a supply chain. Why would they need to do differently with cloud infrastructure?
BTW, it's not only copyleft code that is a problem. "Permissive" licenses also have compliance requirements, such as attribution or preserving the original license text. Only code under Public Domain/CC0-like licenses can be reused without care.
I didn't say there weren't such projects. Just, the defining part of those projects is "the bulk of the work is the dependency integration" (and implicitly, those dependencies are sufficiently unique and uncommon as to be implemented only in a limited subset of languages), and that is not the same thing as "CRUD app". You are using the phrases interchangeably, and using that as grounds to reject Erlang.
I’m glad you found success and that your hard work helped increase your satisfaction. It doesn’t take away from anyone’s achievements to acknowledge that accomplishing anything significant requires a lot of circumstances to fall into place, the majority of which are beyond any individual person’s control, and those circumstances generally play the larger role in determining the outcome.
Is it a risk when you have no other choice but to build, survive, and thrive??

Ask HN: Will Shopify Disrupt WordPress?
Was reading about the announcements Shopify made in their Unite 2021 conference[0]. It seems like they want to completely disrupt WordPress/WooCommerce by making the platform a lot more flexible and easy to use for developers and merchants alike.

What do y'all think? Will Shopify succeed in taking out good ol' WP?

Sorry for the noob question but reading through this I can't make sense of why this is the desired transformation:

"Desired transformation: σ(σ(IT)N)"

What is I, T, and N?
That's quite a leap. I don't see how "poor people are unable to see how to provide themselves with things they want" is more likely than "people with the money to buy things they want are more likely to do so than people who can't afford to do so".

Trees are also generally seen as desirable. That desirability directly translates to increases in the value of the home, which prices out the poor. A similar effect would be seen in apartments; the trees require maintenance, maintenance takes money, so apartments with a lot of greenery are going to cost more to live in.

The poor are also more likely to live in housing that they don't own. Why would a rational person dump a bunch of their own money into improving a rental property they don't own? That's assuming that their lease would even allow them to do so.
Thanks for asking. We follow a highly collaborative and opinionated approach where subbing our work, especially offshore, doesn't make sense for us.

Can drone warfare in the Middle East be controlled?
It's not a stupid question. The simplest is to look for a "business lawyer" and then ask them about their experiences with businesses like yours

But also, don't overestimate what a lawyer is going to do. They're not going to make your docs legitimate, but they will spend as much time as you want to pay for working on them and telling you the risks.

They _will_ frequently be able to get you started with docs like that, though. If they've done the work before they'll have a ready to go draft for you.

> I assume Roku does not have the sufficient resources to properly equip their products with the necessary hardware to cope with their software, resulting in a compromised product that manifests as slow start times.

I dunno—this TCL Roku TV's the best-performing smart TV I've used, including some very expensive ones. It's really fast except for cold boots (again: these only happen if the power's actually been interrupted, or, rarely, on updates). Roku's OS helps, since it's way less resource-hungry than, say, Android-derived operating systems. I've done some work with Roku devices so I've used lots of them, and even the very low-end ones have always performed really well. The OS is weird, but you can't say it's not (relatively) resource efficient and responsive.

... I do have a much-worse brand of Roku TV that is badly under-powered. It sucks. It's the brand that replaced TCL at our local Costco—Hisense, it's called. Looks almost the same, costs almost the same, but is terrible. Fine if you treat it as a dumb panel and just use stuff plugged in to it, but terrible if you intend to use the built-in Roku OS for anything other than switching inputs. Frequent (apparent) out-of-memory crashes, many less-well-made (but major) streaming "apps" are laggy, and so on.
Maybe modern web is the real problem here?

The fact you need a large team of paid engineers just to keep up with whatever features big-tech is adding to their spyware browsers is probably not a great situation to be in.

>All those downsides you mention are not automatic consequences of having a union.

No, but don't try to bullshit us that any new union (and it's negotiated contract) isn't going to end up looking a lot like the unions around it. Doubly so when the employees in question are part of a national union.

>Look at union jobs in Europe for a better example of how things can work out.

Cool. And just as soon as you do the work to make the collective bargaining status quo in the US the same as it is in Europe, we can continue this conversation. Until then, I don't care about this tangent.

>Ask yourself this: Why would you voluntarily forgo leverage to be gained on your employer?

Because *I* am not gaining leverage. A bureaucracy that represents me as part of an amalgamation gains leverage. Before I toss my hat in, I need to hear a whole lot more about what that bureaucracy is planning to be, and how it's going to design itself. I don't need to be pitched the possibility this instance could be better than the stereotype. Why not show me the plan on how we're going to make sure this one is a good one?

Let's set goals. Up front and on screen. Then we can decide on the implementation details (such as unionization) needed to get there. When the cart is put before the horse, I don't see how you can tell me with a straight face that the union could ever possibly be anything but exactly the generic stereotypical union that the grandparent poster is afraid of.

> Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think EDN really has anything to do with homoiconicity. You're just parsing in data (strings) into other data (internal Clojure data structure).

Part of the very real value in being able to print the data exactly as you'd type it in as a literal is repl-driven development and production logging. I can effortlessly print something to the production logs, copy/paste it into my development environment, and debug. So while it's true that string (de)serialization is an old idea, very few languages support one-to-one copy/paste (de)serialization. So often, other languages give you <Object_0xffa003> or something if you try to call x.toString(). Clojure makes it easy to move data around between systems, by emphasizing extensible, yet simple data structures.
