User called fnord posts bait ideas, yeah I'm not biting.
Yesterday someone used the acronym "FAAMNG" and many Redditors made fun of the "M" (for Microsoft).

I think actually, Microsoft is the new IBM (the older, successful IBM). There was an opening for a large company to sell to other large companies, and they finally grabbed it. They're not a consumer company; they're a business company.
No, just a few minutes before that post I posted about a feature that I was happy to see. This was the second item on the massive list of changes that drew my attention.

The type of CC matters.

NC can't be used commercially--whatever that means.

ND, rather ironically, essentially forbids derivatives/remixing therefore prohibiting one of the reasons CC was created in the first place.

Don't mistake OJ getting away with murder for OJ being permitted to murder. You need to pay taxes. You're just illegally not doing so.
The "wellness industry" is predicated on the assumption that if something happens to your health, is your fault because you could have done ABC which is total crap.

Of course losing weight and being fit is better than being overweight and unfit, but I'd rather hang-out with an overweight, unfit friend who I can discuss topics of interest and have a good time, rather than being with someone who's "fit" :-)
OP isn't accurate.

It exports as MP4/H.264. I just did it.

> See this with Airbnb too. They're no longer cheaper than a hotel in many cases and the experience has declined for a variety of reasons.

This is such a common criticism of Airbnb. Maybe I’m an outlier but my use of Airbnb does not compete with hotels at all: e.g. renting an entire pool house with friends, a secluded cabin out in the mountains or an apartment with full kitchen and laundry for an extended stay in a city center.
The thing is tether is pegged.

I think the point you're missing here is that there is no logical basis for the "pegging".

It's pegged because crypto exchanges play along with the pegging fantasy.
No, your client will send a message to the other participants saying that conversation history is now stored. Of course, you can just take screenshots or memorise the messages and write them something else - as mentioned in TFA, the feature is not meant to be used with an adversary.
I had assumed FB bought Giphy in part because Google bought Tenor. It's interesting that the FB acquisition has seen more antitrust scrutiny relative to the Google acquisition.
Yes, because not all stores were empty, because you could buy products that were expensive and exchange them, and because of the black market.
That’s somewhat interesting but doesn’t tell us very much. It seems like the next question is what assets these firms trade for Tether, are those assets reliable or are they tainted in some way, and where did they get them from?

> Should the next generation of birds be more happy and fulfilled than the previous one? Should the next generation of chimps have stronger lasting relationships? Does it even makes sense?

Happiness is a proxy for successful adaptation to reality. So yes, if they are successfully adapting to the changing environment, they should be happy. The very least, failing at it will make them pretty “unhappy”.

> We are biological creatures and each one of us chooses to construct meaning of life (or lack thereof) individually.

A weird level of resolution to stop at. We’re also atomic creatures, maybe we shouldn’t care about death? But we’re also conscious creatures that suffer and maybe at least avoiding that is pretty meaningful? I don’t think any nihilist is nihilistic enough to self-immolate for example.

You could DIY your meaning individually, as is the fashionable belief in this age of post-modern, but it’s liable to crumbling tragically with an inopportune contact with reality. Normativity of reality seeking is a strongly built instinct in any species that knows they have to survive in it, and their meaning emerges from this relationship.

I stand behind my comments for any type of client-side scanning.

There are two upcoming changes from Apple that are often conflated. First, indiscriminate server-side scanning of photos in iCloud against a non-public source database. Second, client-side scanning of messages for child accounts looking for nudity.

Again, client-side scanning is part of the changes that Apple is implementing and I'm projecting on how the terms and conditions of this client-side behavior can and almost certainly will change over the coming years and iOS versions. It's a slow yet accelerating descent to hell.
Those types of masks actually existed in the 1960s though I'm sure the newer ones are more sophisticated. My mother had one of those.
"Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics." -- Richard P. Feynman

"I am an old man now, and when I die and go to heaven there are two matters on which I hope for enlightenment. One is quantum electrodynamics, and the other is the turbulent motion of fluids." -- Miller

According to an apocryphal story, Werner Heisenberg was asked what he would ask God, given the opportunity. His reply was: "When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity? And why turbulence?"

The Tesla Valve design is turbulence harnessed. When it comes to simulations of such, expect ... discrepancies.
Let's say they have 1M rides per day for an average of $10/ride. That's $10M in revenue per day. If they charged a flat 5%, that would be $500k in revenue per day, or $182.5M per year.

Of course, they actually did about 13M rides per day in 2020, and they're taking a much greater slice than 5%. They should be printing money, not burning it. They only reason they're not insanely profitable is complete and utter mismanagement.
True. But to add to it, even if they did know more about it, they want the possibility to "exit" or "sell" quickly because they see it solely as an investment. So it wouldn't change anything.

Didn't _Alphabet_ buy Tenor (not Google)? It seems pedantic but it's probably the over-arching corporate structure that determines the distinction here.

Edit: Actually I kind of walk this back. I don't think Tenor has ever stopped providing the same service in an open manner (i.e. via their API), which would be needed to make the argument that there is a competition concern somehow.
Writing about productivity seems like a nice racket.

What's with the excessive productivity propaganda the past few years. Is that what humans are? What humans exist to be/do? Be products that produce as much as possible? So much time/resources/etc wasted to be more productivity. What's the end goal here?
Are you saying that the exchanges are forcing a $1 +/- 0.05 price range for Tether instead of letting it float freely? Interesting.
Let's say you tried that. At best, you'd have a company similar to 2021 Mailchimp at some point in the future (when Mailchimp will be even bigger). So in some sense you'd still end up behind versus buying Mailchimp.

Then you'd have to compete against Mailchimp and other established brands to get there, which means high competitive and execution risk factors. That means your $10B investment in NewMailCo is at risk of loss, with (say) odds of 50% of building a success like Mailchimp. Further, you run the very real risk of losing all of it if you try to start from scratch. Most startups fail, regardless of available capital (Quibi, Juicero, etc.).
Wasn’t there confusion recently on whether it was fully cashed backed (per their website), when USDC actually had a bunch of other stuff in it?
> They said that 97% of their users are already on subscriptions.

It is quite obvious from the response here that 97% of their users who are actually paying attention to these issues are not on the bandwagon. They should rephrase it as "we could fool 97% of our customers into switching after years of misdirection and misinformation".
> I know of people in large banks who are working with USDC and they've vouched for it being 100% ok.

Sure, just like they did with AAA-rated mortgage CDOs before the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subprime_mortgage_crisis.

"The bankers say it's fine" is not the comforting statement you're making it out to be.

Look, Tether might be a scam in the sense that they don't actually have the backing assets they claim but that doesn't invalidate the rest of the market or the trades done with them any more than your bank having <10% cash on hand of customer deposits.

They are absolutely running afoul of banking regulations but that's not exactly catastrophic for the whole market. Unless there's a bank run the only thing Tether actually needs to do is keep the trading value of their coin near $1.
But I thought the goal of blockchain was to replace the messy, centralized, inefficient human concepts of "morality" and replace them with unambiguous code? Code is law and all that. If we still have both, why did we add all that weird code stuff anyway?
Their evidence was completely inconclusive of anything and they stated so in front of Congress.
Not sure I agree with that. More on "Android’s Kotlin-first approach" is at https://developer.android.com/kotlin/first. I haven't heard the same about Flutter and Android's new UI toolkit, Compose, is written in Kotlin.
I don't get it.

Looking at output assembly language won't tell me anything about the algorithms behind solving the register allocation problem (aka: live data problem, which is a knapsack problem and/or graph-coloring problem IIRC).

I'd be able to see that yes, compilers are good at deciding which registers should hold which data. But that's not sufficient at actually learning how the algorithm / register selection process works.
At the same level, development always pays better. I had the fortune to be promoted from senior developer to CISO when the area was formally opened at a small company.

To be honest, I feel the change came before I felt proficient at web development, but I'm happy because I was always complaining about unsafe practices, and now I get to write the policies.
USDC is better than Tether but far from “solid”. They still hold commercial paper, just 10% instead of 50%. The audit is a joke. Who knows what is really considered “cash equivalent”. Hell, it’s possible USDC holds Tether.
If modern tires are considered reinventing the wooden wheels, sure, then reinventing wheel is the main form of making progress. But I doubt that's how people thinking about reinventing wheel, when they use that phrase to mock others of wasting energy inventing something that has already a very-well-working alternative.
> And what's the point of competing in the compiler space?

To an extent, processor vendors sell CPU's based on how they perform on SPEC{int,fpu}. So what matters is not how fast your HW is, but rather on how fast the combination of HW + compiler is.
This is my very naive opinion, having context of the data or report, I would perceive it as nice to have.

I would love to see some case studies or customers who attest that this actually created primary value which is kind of missing. Just an opinion.
> Money is conserved

I agree with this. You should run the numbers and look at how much companies could improve workers wages by. I did this a few years ago with Walmart, I was surprised by how small the amount was. I think these companies are more constrained than you think, and the huge difference in earnings (which I'm not defending) between the executives and the average worker is more due to their scale and the fact that they can skim a bit off every worker than due to pure exploitation. E.g. Walmart has ~2m employees. $100 from each is $200m more for the executives, but it's not really going to make much a difference to an employee to get an extra $100 per year.
I'm not familiar with this specific story, but the FBI did spy on the Trump campaign, it's not a 'conspiracy theory.'
The "forced sale" aspect is strange to me.

I can understand if the CMA could apply stipulations to the deal to address their concerns like "You must offer an API to other platforms that matches your internal usage."

But Giphy is a money-losing company that can't exist independently any longer. Forcing a sale to another company/investor when they have zero leverage is a negative outcome for the Giphy team and product.

Well 13 days later after calling my NKLA short position and closing 75% of my position [0] I now made more money after it fell below $10.00 on the 12th of August as of this comment.

So it seems I'm the one leaving with profit after closing the remaining 25% of my short position while you sit their and watch.

It turns out that I'm the one laughing all the way to the bank.

This very much. Ultimately what Uber (and most other gig economy companies) offers is on-demand servants - and there's a floor to how much this service can sustainably cost.

The trick Uber pulled was inventing something that has a clear (and sustainable) market within the wealthy elite, but convincing investors that the product could be sustainably operated for vast swathes of the middle- and upper-middle class.

In other words, the trick was asserting their TAM was way larger than reasonable measure, and having everyone believe it.
Well, there's no FDIC, so there's no government making sure you get your money back if the organization holding your money shut down.

There's a number of companies offering something similar, like Celsius and Blockfi and a few others. Do your own research, and no need to go near it if not comfortable with it.

Things could go either way from here on out, perhaps crypto is the future and 8.88% interest for stablecoins will be the standard; or perhaps it'll all come crashing down and all cryptos go poof in a few years. Who knows? Point being, when a new paradigm comes along, it usually seems strange and uncomfortable enough to feel suspicious. Maybe it's legit, maybe not, there's a chance for either case.
I don’t think the experience you describe is universal. Plenty of developers have both reasonable work-life balance and fair compensation (I think?).
I was in Seattle for about 7 years, and then about 15 miles west of Seattle for 20+ years. In Seattle I only had maybe two or three outages, only one of which laster more than an hour.

15 miles west of Seattle, there are maybe 2 or 3 a year almost always during high winds or heavy (for this area) snow. Those are usually fixed within an hour or two, but every few years there is a storm big enough to cause so many outages that it might take several hours for mine to get fixed.

I did have a 24 hour outage once when a tree took down a line on my street.

The important thing though is that none of these outages covered the whole region. They were all collections of local outages spread around the region, with plenty of places spread around the region where power stayed on.

In every case I could get in my car and drive a few minutes and find someplace where power is fine. The only time where it looked like that might be possible was the one with the tree down on my street, because the tree blocked the street. But there was a neighbor with a half loop driveway with the ends of the loop on different sides of the blockage letting people further down the street bypass the tree that way.

Most importantly, I've always been able to easily find a gas station somewhere that still has power. If I fill my tank and go back home I can stay in the car until power comes back on. Idling in the driveway with the heater running sufficiently to handle the coldest day, listing to the radio or using my phone charged via the car I've got over 24 hours of run time before I need to go get more gas.

I don't know how well that would work in summer since I've never checked the fuel consumption rate idling with the air condition on. Most multiple outages here are in Winter (storms) or Spring (wind) when heating, not cooling, is the concern. Summer outages are usually of the "transformer blew up" or "someone hit a pole and knocked it over" type which can get a repair crew assigned and onsite quickly.
Last time I tried to get an Uber, the app found me a ride then when he was on his way he cancelled the ride. I go on the app and get another ride, on the way he cancelled the ride...

I called a regular black cab and got picked up in 5 mins. I assume both got a more profitable / closer ride on the way to pick me up, so ditched me and got that one. That shit doesn't fly with black cabs here.

I guess OP was reading the same r/boston thread!

What I enjoy about this story is that it imagines a world where the MBTA (Boston's public transit system) was so well funded to become an incredibly complex system. In reality there hasn't been significant improvement since the late 80's, and Green Line service to Forest Hills is still "temporarily" suspended.

We agree that this would be an important step. That being said, there is a paucity of models that would make suitable replacements to animal models. People are working on this issue, but many more people need to be working on developing better in vitro systems. Even with our platform, animal models still have to be used for certain assays (e.g. ADME) but we hope that one day this will not be the case.
There's another big factor with mobile app users: it's much harder to block ads in a mobile app.

I'm old enough to remember 1991, even if I wasn't in the workforce then, and IIRC the mood then was kinda depressed. We were in the midst of a recession. We'd just come off the hangover of the first Gulf War. Nobody really knew what the fall of the Soviet Union would mean for America, and there were real fears about nukes falling into the wrong hands. Grunge was the hot new music, and pop culture was all about Gen-X alienation.

If you asked then what the good old days were, they'd probably say 1988. There's a reason Bush 1 was the only 1-term president between 1980 and 2020. Things didn't start perking up until around 93-95 with the WWW.
It's really not for almost all encounters we will ever have with it. In fact, you can model even air (or other gases) as incompressible as long as the Mach number is <0.3 with really good accuracy.
