People have been debating about how to move forward since the eighties. The path is crystal clear. What's lacking is the political will to implement it.
Acer disables BIOS for laptops sold through Amazon? (2020)
I've been using this fairly heavily recently (internal to Google), to the point where I'm thinking of investing in writing an org-babel mode for it. It's a really nice way to structure queries!
A Barbara Streisand track would have been more appropriate!
How do you value the stock options of a company that hasn’t had its IPO?
Fraud - wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

It's very much what's going on here.
I'm curious, why did all the "old guard" absolutely refuse online? Blockbuster, KB, Toysrus - these were all before my time, but did they just think oh no, we don't ever have to bother with this, people will always come in the store?
There's work happening to make these permanent. [1] Until that happens, there are tireless volunteers and organizations lobbying for these exemptions every 3 years.

Robinhood has also gamified the trading experience. Once a day I get a push notification with something like "here are the day's biggest movers, hop on the train before it's too late!" and its essentially playing to that addictive quality that short term trading can have.
Tell them that their reputation is so bad that you'll only continue the discussion if they pay you $1000 for your time.

> I understand that many give Robinhood crap because it is not "sophisticated enough"

I don't recall ever seeing anyone criticise RH for this. It's RH's entire model to be unsophisticated and "democratise" trading.

> because of the Gamestop fiasco

Anyone who doesn't criticise RH for this has rocks in their heads. Anyone who believes RH's official explanation lacks basic critical thinking skills.
Did they also find that you have the free speech rights to commandeer the mall's PA system?

Wrong. One of the rights in the "copyright bundle" is public performance rights, which are reserved exclusively to the copyright holder and their licensees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performing_rights

Generally speaking, "public performance" means outside a small social group consisting of friends and/or family.
Right, you answered a question I didn't ask.

Do weight loss _ads_ drive weight loss?
Of all the arguments to be made about corporate taxation, this one makes the absolute least sense.
You were stating that "[...] it definitely is using memory it wouldn't need if it didn't preserve order.".

There is no reason for that. A sorted list doesn't need more memory than an unsorted list. And an insertion-sorted map doesn't need to use more memory than a map that doesn't keep the order.

Independently, some properties we deem valuable are often side-products of the way the data-structure works. For example, an efficient binary search tree will naturally tend to be balanced. In the case of efficient hash maps, it is now common to add the key/value pair at the end of an internal vector. Maintaining the insertion order this way doesn't add any cost.

If it is a well known song - maybe the audio coudl be subtracted - noise cancellation style to remove the rogue song.
The irony being . . . I just watched it on YouTube.
I think the situation is considerably more nuanced.

Firstly, I haven't seen anything to suggest that Isabel Fall supported "mobs." In the quoted paragraphs, she was speaking about social media more generally.

Secondly, communities do need immune systems. If you don't enforce some set of norms, everything goes downhill quickly. I don't know about you, but I don't like it when trolls come onto Hacker News and post incendiary nonsense for the sole purpose of starting flamewars; I imagine queer fiction communities don't appreciate that either.
Perhaps one beautiful day in the future: Text and Pictures Without Javascript.
tldr; no conclusion has been reached, and even if the proof is agreed to be correct, Clay takes 2 years after that to award the prize.
I purchased one of these computers for my child. It made a loud buzzing noise and turned off last week. I discovered the locked BIOS for myself when I tried to boot from a USB to diagnose the problem. Acer wants $619.99 to diagnose it at their repair center, since it is 2 weeks out of warranty.
You don't think people's personal beliefs and allowing speech without repercussions is something that should be protected?

I kinda think you're the one not considering repercussions of allowing these platforms to drive social norms.

If your opinion holds so much water then you should welcome the opportunity to have public discourse with someone who thinks differently.

What I hear when someone supports removing speech is just fear. Fear that their specific opinion won't stand up against someone else's.

Regardless of whether there's a legal way to stop these platforms from their current crusade I don't' see how any one can morally support what they're doing.
When you're first starting out, you can cut it with chea boilerplate insurance (and legal docs), but at some point you graduate to specialized commercial insurance.

The difference is that you never do this with your legal docs for whatever reason.
But you could also own a beach house and live a life that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to afford.

(And frankly, in this case, is unethical to do so regardless imo.)
It's not even just about freedom of speech. It's freedom of a private property owner to do whatever the heck they want with their property. Facebook and Google own their services. The government can't compel them to host content they don't want to host any more than it can compel me to nail a letter to my wall that you send me. I own that wall and can do whatever the heck I want with it.
Especially considering that it’s summer too. I’m from Ontario and you see counties with 2 million people delay opening because of 25 daily cases.
There's absolutely no way you could convince a judge that this was fraud. You can't just pick some legal term that sounds familiar and say that's what's going on. These terms have very specific meanings based on extensive case law.
I must admit, writing the comment I didn't take into account authorities being able to request personal information. But my initial thought was about something else, and I could've communicated it better.

> The BBC radio and TV presenter traced the identity of the person who was behind an online campaign against him.

The wording in the article can be seen as the man and his colleagues did all the tracing of a completely random internet-troll themselves. Not only that sounds ridiculous, but also falls in line with the display of power I mentioned.

> Unescaped text is added into a format with defined encoding.

Meh. This is only a problem if it's unknown text or from an external source like user input. If it's from a known, trusted source, like internal code it's fine.

The cleaning should be done on the server side, anyway, so this objection is moot. Anyone can send any kind of body. Your client is in "enemy territory". Treat everything coming from the client side as potentially dangerous.

If you take this article's advice, you might think you're safe by just using these form data or url encoding. No. Not at all. This will not save you from SQL injection attacks or whatever. Only server-side cleaning will do that.

I think this post was promoted only because it mentions copilot, to be honest. It's not good security
Getting young people to get into debt is a very different thing than getting them to build assets.
RH gives (small) margin loans from trading, not (large) student loans for marginally useful university courses.
Bar associations will give lawyer recommendations
Well that is a pretty bad law. I wonder what the origin of that law is?
You could argue that it isn't even about the value, but simply the price.
It's funny to hear such talk even as we are all members of an industry that has reinvented everything from taxis to space rocketry, payment systems to currency.

Perhaps this isn't the union that will do it, but surely the tech industry can find a way to innovate on unions and labor power. Why everything else and not that?
How the CDC Lied to Keep Children in Plastic Boxes
Maybe off of current worth estimated after sale of shares to earlier investors? I'm not completely sure though.
You don't need a public performance license to personally consume music in public. Public performance licenses would be for things like playing a song in a restaurant you run, or in a retail store.
This could be the catalyst for privacy oriented coins such as Monero and Zcash.

Also the right catalyst for doing away with exchanges and start buying and selling crypto on OTC type market with 1:1 deals and interactions

Like it happens for grey area commodities such as marijuana and prostitution
I love that the article mentions a different cop who played a Sublime track. Whoever was making the video should have put on "April 29, 1992".
We should get one of the stripe guys in this thread to give us some ballparks
What's the point of whistleblowing? I thought it was to provide a framework for people who've come across shady behavior on the part of their employer in the execution of their day-to-day work. So, I guess it is more scalable because it is operating under the assumption that the whistleblowers were receiving their normal paycheck while "investigating."

Certainly no negative moral judgement on people intentionally going for those bounties, fighting corruption is admirable. But the system is probably not calibrated to provide for their their day-to-day expenses or the cases where their investigations aren't successful. If it were, it would be equivalent to just employing that army of investigators (just, without any official organization, so it'd miss out on any benefits from legal authority or economies of scale).
This post, along with the replies that contain easily discoverable information disproving the commentor’s hypothesis, should be used as an example in unconscious bias training.

Venezuela, Tierra de la Esperanza
Talk about a revolving door...
It would be hilarious (and also poetic justice) if Taylor Swift (or whomever the copyright holder is) sued the Alameda County Sheriff's department for copyright violation and demanded maximum statutory penalties.

EDIT: Bummer, it looks like this route is not available to the copyright holder, since states have sovereign immunity against copyright infringement claims. See _Allen v. Cooper_, 589 U.S. ____ (2020).
There are no regulations on execution quality for crypto. RH treats crypto as forex and quotes their customers a huge markup on the bid/ask spread (think airport forex booth type spreads). RH customers can only trade with RH and their crappy spreads. RH won't match customer crypto orders against each other.
> I wonder why giant market-making hedge funds would pay for that order flow... Another tech faustian bargain.

It really isn't. They're making money off the spread (eg. $105.01 bid vs $105.02 ask), which exists regardless of PFOF (regulation NMS mandates that the price be better or equal to NBBO). The reason why they want retail flow is that it's mostly "uninformed" and they're less likely to get run over.

matt levine explains this in detail: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-29/reddit...

>I like to tell a fairly textbook version of that story. Market makers stand ready to buy or sell stock from or to customers; they try to buy for a bit less than they sell at, and pocket the spread. If you go out into the market and say “hey I’ll buy anyone’s stock for $10,” and a really smart hedge fund comes to you and sells you stock for $10, that’s probably bad. You’ve probably made a mistake. The hedge fund is selling you the stock for $10 because it knows it’s worth $8. This is called “adverse selection.”

>More subtly, if a really big mutual fund comes to you and sells you stock for $10, that also may be bad. The mutual fund is probably selling lots of stock, because it’s so big; it sells you a little, then sells a little more, then a little more, until it pushes the price down to $8. The mutual fund isn’t necessarily smart, but by virtue of being big and doing big trades, it moves the price; if you are on the other side of its trades, you get run over. This is also a kind of adverse selection: You buy at $10 and are stuck selling at $8. Part of the spread that market makers earn in public markets—the difference between their buying and selling prices—compensates them for adverse selection, the risk of being run over by a counterparty who knows something they don’t.

>Market makers, the textbook theory goes, would much rather trade with retail orders. Retail investors generally don’t know much, so if you buy stock from them you’re probably not making a mistake. And retail orders are generally small and uncorrelated: One investor buys a little, another comes along a moment later and sells a little, it’s all pretty random, and you’re not facing an avalanche of steady sell orders that push the price down. Trading with retail is so nice that market makers—wholesalers—will both give retail orders a tighter spread (pay more to buy their stock, charge less to sell stock to them) and pay their broker for the privilege of doing it.

Hey, I'm interested in the internship in Paris, but the application form suggests that it started in June. Is that position still available?
Taxing revenue does shut off many tax loopholes. Accounting can play lots of games with profit/loss, but revenue is much harder to obfuscate.

However this basically just seems like a Sales Tax to me, which we already have in most countries.
Probably using the same fair market value that pre-IPO startups calculate to assess your tax liability when you exercise options.
That changed with Blender 2.80, which was an incredibly successful achievement. I'd say the interface is one of the most beautiful and pleasant I've ever used for a pro tool. It really ticks every usability box and it looks damn good too.
That's not by chance that after 2.80 Blender has been getting more and more momentum. The amount of features that are packed into each point release would constitute a major release in other paid suites.
So, yeah, the Blender future is bright and I wish more opensource software managed to replicate their success. I know Krita is following in their footsteps, and also successfully.

Perhaps a Patreon-style funding for Servo could work? Something similar to what the guy behind Serenity OS managed.
Watch what the City of London (the financial center) does, would be my suggestion.
Looks like it:

"RHF, one of our broker-dealer subsidiaries, is a member of the selling group for this offering. We expect the underwriters to reserve approximately 20 to 35% of the shares of our Class A common stock offered by this prospectus for RHF, acting as a selling group member, to allocate for sale to Robinhood customers through our IPO Access feature on our platform. Any such sales will be made at the same initial public offering price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors, and in accordance with customary broker-dealer practices and procedures."
Right, for configurations where the tpm automatically releases keys, they can be sniffed. It can be configured to only release it's secret once a correct password is given. It also rate limits I believe.
This is an old article, and a lot has happened since.

In 2019 Alabama updated their laws so that the extra money had to go into a public fund for other public goods.

In 2020 a couple of cities passed laws reinstating the ability for the Sherrif to pocket the money.

Last Week Tonight did a piece on Sherrif power, and talked about this particular Sherrif and his $750K beach house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_kak7kAdNw . I think that was his last episode in front of an audience.
I think that the First Amendment, as written, is a good thing. I think the government should be restricted heavily from punishing people for their speech.

I generally think that private organizations and individuals should not be held to that same requirement.

I think the Internet should be a utility, and ISPs should not be able to deny you access to the Internet. I think that Twitter should have the same right to deny service that my local bar does, which is to say, they can discriminate as long as it's not against a protected class.
Google releases new version of open-source security software program: Scorecards
Same way you do after an IPO. Based on the sale price of the stock.
Cops are bad, so you are wrong.
He's not personally consuming - he's playing the music in public for the purposes of performance (the audience) and broadcast (he knows it is being recorded)! This is willful and flagrant infringement.
There may be evidence but I don't know about it. If we were talking about insurance for property damage, I could almost agree with the "priced-in" idea, [EDIT:] although that assumes a very efficient torts system for the third parties who suffer damage to their property. There is an inherent asymmetry when we're talking about the health and lives of third parties, however. If anything firms should be encouraged to care more about not killing their employees.
Intuit to share payroll data from 1.4M small businesses with Equifax
Restaurants and other low margin businesses would cease to exist under this plan.
If yo are a legit company you need to file your accounts with the government. Maybe some small funds and companies can be on a paper in Seychelles (no accounts needed) and have their Monero induced cocaine parties, but this law aims at Amazon (effectice tax rate 0%), Apple, Google, Microsoft, Netflix and sucy.
My concern is mainly just missing stuff I may be interested in in favour of uninteresting videos because the luck of the draw picked a highly relevant/irrelevant frame. Yes this is a 1st-world problem but this is Youtube.

I'd like to think I could select videos on title alone but if that's your route then just remove rather than replace thumbs (and text can still mislead).

To put it another way: even if we agree the current thumbs are bad (annoying, misleading), are the replacements better (or just irrelevant). Most people like to judge things on intent, but intentionally bad is still better than unintentionally worse.

And in the end, I can much more easily develop intuition to spot intentionally deceptive common human patterns than spotting unintentionally irrelevant random automated patterns.
This to me looks more readable than a one liner
