> Inter-generational wealth transfer is very durable over time.

You're going to need a citation for this because every article I've ever read about it says that within 2-3 generations most family fortunes (excluding those truly massive billion+ fortunes) are gone. Social mobility between upper-middle and upper class across multiple generations is incredibly high/fluid.
Microsoft finds new NETGEAR firmware vulnerabilities
This seems like denial to me. Human organizations already behave like mentally unbalanced AI. Humans in general are extremely dangerous all on their own.

One potential upside not discussed here is that developing strong AI may teach us important lessons about ourselves.

Our Airtable sync process, layer by layer
>though Linux on the desktop sort of is similar to Firefox, getting less relevant by the year.

It seems like Linux on desktop has never been more popular according to these sites:

It's not surprising either, considering all of the ads and metrics collection Microsoft has added into windows recently.
Great article. Looked into different solutions as well and settled with Unraid running Plex. For syncing the photo libraries used Photosync on Android.

Our TV started to complain that the Wifi module was unplugged (which apparently is on the main board). Problem: This happened regularly with a dialog box. 'Solution': Put a Wifi dongle in the USB port.
Yes, you are correct. That said the dereferencing happens in std::u8string_view's constructor, which will dereference in search of the NULL character to compute the size.
As I understood it, there was an implementation of "compact dictionaries" in Java, but it was not the implementation of any of the collections that were built into the language. It is "prior art" in that it was done before compact dictionaries were reinvented for Python.
"Maybe I'm spoiled by my FAANG job" Yes that is correct.
It's the use of a quote mark in a headline that's always the problem. They should be banned.
Yeah SuperMemo is more of a long term lifestyle choice verses a single tool, but I personally think it’s the most effective brain augmentation software that we have as a species right now, it’s not very complicated or heavy in terms of the program itself and it doesn’t require invasive surgery or something. I’ve been on the SuperMemo train for 15 years and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner.
Revisiting Time, Clocks, and Synchronization
"Sub-nanosecond precision clock synchronization over the packet network has been achieved by the White Rabbit protocol for a decade. However, few computer systems utilize such a technique. We try to attract more interest in the clock synchronization problem. We first introduce the basics of clock and synchronization in the time and frequency discipline. Then we revisit several related works, such as Google's Spanner, Huygens, FARMv2, DTP, and Sundial, explain why these works could be improved. Finally, we briefly discuss an independent time network approach towards low-cost and high-precision synchronization."

Firstly, political posting and troll posting aren't mutually exclusive. Secondly, it appears that there was strong evidence that this poster actually tried to harm the presenter's reputation and career. To that extent, libel charges are fair and it's a good thing he was able to be traced and admonished.

Amazon has a lot of businesses, so I'm not really sure who their "customer" is without a specific context, but I can tell you that as a seller on Amazon, I am not the center of anything. My experience with this company is exactly what you'd expect from the rotting quality of a monopoly. I don't think any amount of "leadership principles" will help. I think that competition is the only cure.
We really _wanted_ to use Stripe Atlas for our startup but ended up using Clerky for various reasons. Neither will get you all the way to the goal line, but both give you a damn good start. You’ll end up finalizing some things with your accountant / legal counsel.

That being said, Atlas is getting closer and closer to closing all the gaps. Excited to see what they’re able to accomplish in the next 1 - 2 years. The onerous process (easier in the US than others, but still not easy) inhibits innovation and the easier things become the more folks can focus purely on creating value in the economy.

A really big win in the space recently was the temporary approval for electronic submission of 83(b) paperwork. The more things like that occur (and become permanent) the better off we’ll all be.

WTF are you on about "occupying nation"
FWIW I operate under the assumption that HN is just as bad as Slashdot with regards to commenting without reading the article :) and the solutions were pretty clear to me, even without the nice summary at the end. Sorry if it wasn't worded softly enough, no insult meant, more an observation.

The parts I mentioned are not the 'realization' part. They are the solution parts. They aren't the 'implementation details' of the solution, I would agree, but they are the solution.

If you ask me the problem is not usually that there is no good way to do KT or that it just isn't doable at all. The problem is that in most businesses due to their 'culture' (for lack of a better word - not to start "that" culture discussion) you do not actually get to do it. A good way to mentor and transfer knowledge for example is to do pair programming. Not many places allow for that and will look at you funny for even suggesting it (and I'm not even personally on the extreme end of that like some companies, where everyone literally pair programs 100% of the time - I like a sort of hybrid model, where people pair for as long as it makes sense to them, which could be sitting there "designing" for a couple of hours together, maybe dividing things up after a basic structure is in place and then working on their own for the rest of the day w/ some quick 5 minute sync ups and questions going back and forth from time to time). Another very doable way to do knowledge transfer is to specifically not give let the one guy that wrote that part of the code and knows it inside and out work on the next ticket that will need changes to that part. But many Product Managers/businesses/team leads will not allow that because it would mean that the task will be delivered slower.

The beauty of this approach is that you don't need to actively gather data, make a decision etc. Gathering this data is usually very error prone in that you can fill out forms and skills matrices and such all you want (been there done that), you always forget about something or it doesn't really tell you the whole story (skills matrices are particularly bad)

With this, it just happens! It's the self organizing way of dealing with the problem. I think you might be putting too much emphasis on the "completely unavailable" part, whereas I see the "it's a soft rule" part bigger. Instead of waiting for someone to go on vacation and then you find out that he was the only one that can do X (there's your data point that you missed during collection and analysis) and now you're in deep trouble, because he's touring the Amazon rain forest (i.e. definitely no cell reception there), you get to figure it out because he won the lottery and he's actually at work and can tutor someone through it all.
World’s leading economies agree global minimum corporate tax rate
I suspect that many of the immigrants that come to the US (and end up being successful/ business owners) are pretty well off themselves (relative to wealth of the country of origin). US isn't a country that is easy to immigrate to either.
I worked at AMZN for about 2 years and one thing that I found rather interesting and quite disturbing is how people regurgitate the leadership principles to drive points home and sometimes to bash someone into submission. It was not uncommon to hear someone literally use 2-3 principles in a sentence to emphasize something e.g. "Demonstrate your bias for action and earn the trust of the people you are working.." Funny thing is when I interview at other companies I always use the principles as a reference to answer the questions :-)

I agree we shouldn’t create a culture of excuses but at the same time you have to notice that most successful founders come from wealthy backgrounds and the rest seem to be immigrants (who might be wealthy as well?). The average HN poster lives in a Silicon Valley bubble and doesn’t realize this.

What does this have to do with imperative state?

Take this program:

compute x = 1 `div` (x - 3)
map compute [1,2,3,4]

Would seeing that it crashed in `compute` in `map` be enough info to debug, or finding out that `x` was 3 when it did also help?

Edit: fixed to use integer division so we actually crash .

- amazon is well aware, but does not care, since it benefits them in some way

Well, we can't yet. And it probably won't happen until we have already started to suffer serious consequences.
> Employment is not “at-will” and so employees already have a lot of rights

"at-will" employment is exceedingly rare in developed countries outside of the US.

Not having "at-will" does not automatically guarantees "a lot of rights".
Evidence says otherwise with respect to retraining and education. Healthcare quality differences are also questionable.

Retraining schemes have been less effective than random chance - with the least success going to long-term SSDI recipients in Appalachian states (~12% in WV). You would have more success with paying them off to live as they see fit.

As for education, that is a big mess that can't be easily quantified in the favor of the left. Homeschooling and private education have provided effective competition to government run education.

As for healthcare, the US model has attracted people from European model systems. If the US model wasn't so good, people wouldn't travel there (especially from the UK and Canada).

These so called "poor states" vote for right wing individuals for good reasons. The lights stay on, jobs largely stay or grow, and individuals can live a largely unobstructed life.
”Work Trucks” or pickups are a 100% American thing.

Aussies have their utes, which are like sedans with beds.

Europeans use either vans or trailers pulled by said vans (or sedans) for the same thing.
The context was a person who insisted the number of people alive today was more than all who had ever lived. The statement felt wrong but I also initially didn’t believe 100B. After some research, I now believe the 100B number is about right.
The fundamental problem with the secure enclave on PC is that to make it work you have to basically lock out all of the untrusted hardware on the box, which is pretty much all of it. So while you are doing your secure computation nobody is servicing the PCIe bus. The graphics card drivers aren't getting any CPU cycles. Ring buffers on your network cards aren't emptied. From the perspective of everything else on the machine the whole thing just crashed.

If your computation is quick you might be able to get away with this sometimes, but the potential for problems is almost unlimited. The fact that the TPM itself is pretty slow throws another monkeywrench into the plan.

In order for it to work the whole system needs to be designed from the bottom up to support it, which means you need to touch every layer of the PC stack. It's a lot of work. It is a lot easier on something like a cellphone where you can control the hardware from top to bottom and don't have to consider the case where someone installs additional hardware to suit their needs.
I don't get this:

> I live in New York City," she said. "That doesn't go a long way.

So you live in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and then complain when you aren't making enough to live in said city. Either quit the low paying position and find a better paying job or move to somewhere cheaper.
