There absolutely are impediments to implementation. Producing hydrogen efficiently through electrolysis demands very effective electrodes which we are still trying to develop, for example. We only know that these solutions ar hypothetically possible, not that they are viable. Let alone viable at scale. Let alone cheaper than existing options.

Until one of those storage methods actually becomes viable at scale, rather than in laboratories, we'll be burning fossil fuels.
I think you are in agreement with the parent post. There was an implied /s in the tone.

Systemically it’s a huge problem to favor investors over whistleblowers and fines. You want incentives to be aligned wherever possible, and being able to declare bankruptcy in order to protect the very people benefiting from unscrupulous acts just leads to more unscrupulous behavior.
It's unfair to expect someone to watch a movie instead of explaining that computers connected through telephone lines using modems to code bits as sound.

You called a phone number (your modem could do this for you), the target modem answered the call, and they negotiated the maximum (but still ridiculously low) speed. If the target computer needed concurrent connections, you added more phone lines with modems.

But watch the movie anyway, it's a cult classic.
It must still cost Cloudflare something to offer to this service.
so it just flattened the code by removing parentheses and braces around `using`? Looks like a really simple transformation.
I might be wrong but what came to mind was segmented memory, ie like 8086 where registers are 16bit but (far) pointers are 16:16 (ignoring the quirk with overlapping segments).
Yes, I can.

I choose to continue believing that I can can change my beliefs because it has brought numerous benefits to my life. I did not always believe this: one day I simply decided to start. Picking up or dropping an arbitrary belief about Elon Musk is trivial in comparison.

This is, in fact, one of the explicit goals of several schools of philosophy and meditation. Being in charge of your own mind is extremely liberating, but like controlling any part of the body, precision requires practice.
Some brands/models can't even be setup without an internet connection and setting up accounts (and sometimes credit card information). Eventually, they'll probably have their own independent 5g connection.

That's the sort of nihilistic relativism that gives postmodernism a bad name.

While taste plays a role in art, and can famously not be judged, art also has aspects that define a ranking, from "good" art to "bad".

These qualities are harder to define than it is for judging the long jump olympics, because they cannot be quantified. But it suffice to observe that when people spend a lot of time studying art, they tend to value similar things.

One quality I have als noticed with good critics is a tendency to appreciate a far broader range of art (form and era) than "normal" people.
The investors ONLY saw a 28.5% loss (1B/1.4B). In the scheme of things it could have been way worse if the whistleblower didn't speak up. If they gave say 1% of the assets to the whistleblower (10 Million), it wouldn't have really changed the investor payout all that much. BUT it would encourage future whistleblowers. Especially when the whistleblower speaking up earlier prevent further losses to impacted investors.
Can anyone research by whom, and in what reading was that exception added?

Okta | Staff and Principal Site Reliability Engineers | REMOTE (USA-based only)

Hey HN! I am hiring REMOTE Staff and Principal-level SREs for my team at Okta. This team has a pretty exciting mission: we're going to build the next-generation hosting infrastructure for one of Okta's most successful products. This is going to be a greenfield design and it's a chance to design your dream infrastructure and workflow and do it for a top-tier, publicly-traded tech company and have fun doing it. Our design is cellular and we're going to build many of these hosting cells, so we have build them right and make them easy to replicate and manage.

Specifically, I'm looking for experienced SREs who embody the following:

- Technical excellence in Kubernetes implementation/migration is required, preferably with strong AWS knowledge. Deep Linux experience is a must. Software development experience is a strong plus (especially with Go) but not a hard requirement.

- Exceedingly strong ability to automate repetitious tasks and build stuff for scale. To use an analogy, we're not building a restaurant, we're designing a restaurant that will be franchised all around the world and your experience needs to demonstrate your ability to design/build like this. We will use tooling like Terraform, Helm, and Go (among other things) to accomplish this.

- An outgoing personality that works well in a team and who enjoys spending time with their team. I recognize that this isn't a typical SRE requirement but this team is not the typical SRE team. This isn't a pure operations/maintenance role; we're building a brand new product and we're going to be actively working together to hash out design ideas and decide together upon the very best ones. You'll need to function well within a team and be able to communicate effectively to do this job.

Sound interesting? You can apply directly here: https://grnh.se/60acf7c31us

If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me at chris.snell@okta.com. Please no recruiters or agencies, we do not and will not use them. Direct candidates only.
I find Sony TVs to be pretty quick. I use it them in conjunction with Apple TV, and I never have to deal with the TV itself, and it is quick to turn itself off and on via HDMI CEC.

They are not the high end models either, I have a $630 one from 2016 and a $600 one from 2020.
A wise point, it took me a while to realise this - intellectual honesty can lead to the habitual expectation it will be reciprocated and upheld by others.

I put this in another comment, but if you take inflation into account it is cheaper than 2012 when they set the price to $7.85

It depends strongly on the brand. LG is well known to be good in that situation. I bought one on the recommendation of HN comments and it seems to work great to me.
> The whole point of the US patent and copyright system is not to "give a special reward" to inventors and authors, but to "promote the Progress of Science and the useful Arts" by building up the public domain commons of inventions and art.

First, citation needed.

Second, these two things are not at odds. People require incentives. If you want people to submit their inventions to the public domain, you do need to provide them with economic incentives for it. Otherwise, people will simply keep their inventions to themselves, as they did before, and as many do now.
What is less clear to me is why he borrowed so much money to setup this business? The debt had as much or more to do with his going broke than the flawed whistleblower process. As with many things in life this is a cautionary tale about not counting on something before it’s done.
I was just trying to explain this the other day. Not sure whether to be disappointed in is this a regression?
No, bros, you may not just `repack it` and re-sign the package for me. That's not how it should work unless I trust their build server to sign for me; and I don't and we shouldn't. I'll just CC this here from https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-27410978 :

```

> Unfortunately all packages aren't necessarily signed either; "Which package managers require packages to be cryptographically signed?" is similar to "Which DNS clients can operate DNS resolvers that require DNSSEC signatures on DNS records to validate against the distributed trust anchors?".

man systemd-resolved # nmcli
man delv

> "PEP 480 -- Surviving a Compromise of PyPI: End-to-end signing of packages" (2014-) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0480/

>> Proposed is an extension to PEP 458 that adds support for end-to-end signing and the maximum security model. End-to-end signing allows both PyPI and developers to sign for the distributions that are downloaded by clients. The minimum security model proposed by PEP 458 supports continuous delivery of distributions (because they are signed by online keys), but that model does not protect distributions in the event that PyPI is compromised. In the minimum security model, attackers who have compromised the signing keys stored on PyPI Infrastructure may sign for malicious distributions. The maximum security model, described in this PEP, retains the benefits of PEP 458 (e.g., immediate availability of distributions that are uploaded to PyPI), but additionally ensures that end-users are not at risk of installing forged software if PyPI is compromised.

> One W3C Linked Data way to handle https://schema.org/SoftwareApplication ( https://codemeta.github.io/user-guide/ ) cryptographic signatures of a JSON-LD manifest with per-file and whole package hashes would be with e.g. W3C ld-signatures/ld-proofs and W3C DID (Decentralized Identifiers) or x.509 certs in a CT log.

FWIU, the Fuschia team is building package signing on top of TUF.

Rust has HashMap and BTreeMap. You use the latter when you care about ordering. There's also a couple of options for dequeues. A good overview here explaining which one you'd choose depending on what oyu want to do: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/index.html

Close. But it's not at such a high latitude (as the article explictly says).

They'll never have less than about three hours of sunlight in the winter and never less than three hours of night in the summer. It might be considerably more depending on the landscape. Even a small hill can cast a long shadow when the sun is that low.
Could you imagine being part of this. Told the company was running DiRT testing or whatever, and then getting fired or punished for listening and following instructions?

Could you imagine afterwards being lectured to use common sense. Also, we have secret corporate policies you need to know about and follow. Resolve that catch-22. Repeat for a decade.

Well, the biggest difference is probably scale. Amazon has roughly 10x the number of direct employees as Microsoft spread throughout a much wider range of job types.

Some of this is inherent due to what Amazon's business is, but a big chunk of it is that Microsoft outsources essentially every job that's not at the absolute core of their business. Anything outside of that is outsourced to vendors. Microsoft's management of these vendors is basically "make us happy as cheaply as possible or you're fired" and the results for the employees of those companies is about what you'd expect.
Yeah, thanks for the note! I was thinking of doing that as well. I left it for later cause it’ll be annoying to gather all the names :D

Thank you, that's a really good summary of a plausible workers co-operative structure. I say go for it. There's nothing in the regulatory or legal framework in most countries to stop you doing this. In fact there are successful co-operative commercial organisations, and have been for centuries.

I just don't see how this disincentivizes the managers and key stakeholders in companies from conspiring like this. Most top managers of companies own a lot less than 20%, I doubt the managers of any of the oil companies own anything like that much, so if anything this would give them even more incentive to try and boost the value of their company. How do you see this preventing such conspiracies?
Oh, also, really clever! I love studying resiliency in complex systems!
You don't have to provide a fix to a discovered problem. Discovering and pointing out a problem is valuable in and of itself. If you force every problem discovery process to provide a fix, you create disincentive to the discovery process itself.

It is nice to have a solution when you identify a problem but you also can't just ignore a problem because you don't have a clear solution. Recognize the problem helps others to suggest solutions to the problem. If you can provide iron clad proof no alternative solution exists, then do that. Passing around the burden of proof merely to prop up a position that clearly also doesn't help the problem helps no one. Let's all carry the burden of proof.

I for one think part of the issue is with indefinite capital accumulation. We adhere fundamentally to property ownership and that your property is yours forever. This results in pockets of wealth that create many of the problems we currently see in capitalism as practiced in the US. Competitive forces designed to keep things in place can be countered when enough wealth is amassed. Law and regulation can be bought and manipulated. Public opinion can also be fairly well manipulated.

Clear out mass inheritance options, set forth ways to cap off mass wealth accumulation and redistribute it to society beyond a point that increases as often as say, minimum wage increases. If wealth wants a higher ceiling, they need to make sure the bottom isn't left behind. Provide progressive tax rates beyond those limits that discourage hoarding wealth and using it counterproductively, if we believe we reward success through wealth.

Just some starter ideas, not a claimed solution for the situation at large. Retroactively applying principles may not even be possible without core restructuring in culture and law. Capitalism is great, it's the best system we've seen so far, but what is going on now isn't great and it's not healthy for society. It doesn't necessarily have to be wiped clear but it needs some restructuring or bandaids attached to resolve some very real fundamental issues we have, otherwise we're going to have a society focused on exploitation acquiring value over the actual value creation we praise capitalism for.

Why? It doesn't read as sarcastic to me -- investors are the ones being harmed by the scam. Obviously the current system needs to support whistleblowers more, but I don't get why one would make a sarcastic comment about helping the victims.
