Helpfully this is exactly the sort of argument I'm complaining about. The basic form is "the regulators did this", its "hard to show concrete harm" but therefore "we should go after any company that is dominant in any market".

If we skip to the handwave, what is and how solid is the evidence that the regulator's actions were sensible? Targeting the most competent company for harassment is, on the face of it, a bad strategy.

"Before the 1996 Act was passed, the largest four ILECs owned less than half of all the lines in the country while, five years later, the largest four local telephone companies owned about 85% of all the lines in the country." [0]

Yeah, that'd be really hard. But the major problem is poor regulation creating monopolies/incentives for them. The correct approach is to go for the root cause - competition stifling regulation - rather than setting up monopolies and then ineffectually trying to fight them in courts.

"Antitrust" is a distraction from the actual problem - bad regulation and incentives. And if the coversation revolved around actual attempts at showing evidence the antitrust stuff is hard to sustain. The examples are trivial. People on HN were whinging about Google removing an alert box in Chrome the other week.

I've not noticed trouble with stones and a fast turnaround—bigger problem's the loss of heat in the air, in the time it takes to remove one and put another in—but may be that I'm just not watching close enough. I'll keep an eye on that, thanks for the pointer.

Not sure if it meets your criterion of less conspicuous, but tuberculosis ? Wikipedia claims 25% of global population has latent TB which is definitely significant.
Well, Nokia finally got it together with MeeGo, but then Elop had to sell the farm and hitch their horse to Windows.

Tizen is reputedly of bad code quality, especially security-wise.

Sailfish is still out there as Jolla scraps away.

It’s a pity, as those projects did attract some powerful backers, who just weren’t very committed to them.
I don't believe it, mostly because I used ramdisks back in 2012 when I had 64GB of RAM. They barely improved load times over SSDs, and for some games didn't improve it at all. With modern NVMe drives...I imagine no one can perceive the difference. Also ram disks are kind of a pain to deal with.

It seems we agree on a lot. You got my point and why it was an important post.
Do you not want to work with web technologies (JS, PHP) or do you simply not want to make websites?

There's other easy options if it's the latter. e.g. JS lets you work on TV and there's emerging new AI applications, so you could probably make a smart fridge and such.

If you explore things like app development, which isn't a large shift, it opens up a lot of doors - drones, IoT, maintenance. There was a job I applied to years ago where they'd attach old phones to rocks and used it to detect poachers. Another one involved prepaid solar power distribution to poor people in Africa. Or things like FireChat which was used as an alternative communication tool when floods brought down telco towers.
Did you even read the first line I typed? He is not saying that the private enterprise does nothing. Neither am I. Private enterprise can and does drive innovation, cost-reduction, commercialization, etc.

And, China does not count as "developed far east". Though, it is telling that a nation-state without what we consider "democracy" managed to reach $10k/capita while many other "democratic"/"free market" states have failed to do the same.

Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore do count as "developed far east". They are replete with examples of globally-leading industries promoted by state subsidies and direction.

And, why are we even discussing communism here? That's your worthless strawman argument technique. His point and my point is about the kick-away-the-ladder style "free trade" and "free market capitalism" we push on developing countries.

Not everything is about communism. Knew I was discussing with a numbnuts as soon as I read that. Continue to pontificate by yourself here. :-D

Something about the tone of the messages rubs me entirely the wrong way.
If what you are saying is true, then there is a huge arbitrage opportunity there, unless there are sufficient transaction costs or legal deterrents involved.

If the value of bitcoin relative to MXN is steadily going up (meaning that MXN is losing value relative to USD), then it automatically mean that the value of MXN is also steadily losing value relative to USD. So at the end, from a "value" point of view, nothing will change for you because both currencies are "pegged" to USD. If parity doesn't hold, there is an arbitrage opportunity there; suppose

1 USD = 2 BTC
1 USD = 4 MXN

The implied exchange rate MXNUSD would be BTC = 2 MXN. But imagine as you say that for some reason, this doesn't hold, and actually 1 BTC = 5 MXN in Mexico. I have then an incentive to buy 1 BTC at 0.5 USD, use that 1 BTC to buy 5 MXN, and sell all that MXN at the original rate of 0.25 USD, earning 1.25 USD.

I can understand that it may be easier to physically hold BTC as opposed to fiat USD in that situation, but I don't get the value store proposition. Anyone saying that they see Bitcoin as a store value, are implying they believe that in the future, some people will want to pay for 1 Bitcoin the same amount (or higher than) it's currently worth. It's a perfectly valid claim to make, but what is this belief based on?
Who is this Naom Chomski? I seem to see him everywhere these days.
I'm curious where kerberos tickets fit into this. A little out of vogue, but it'd be neat to hear how exactly they're long in the tooth.
Even if the 40% number is correct, that can make a huge difference in slowing the spread. That, paired with the fact that vaccine side effects have shown to be extremely mild to non-existant, it's a no-brainer that everyone get it.

Myocarditis is something around 2x as likely but that's like 2 in a million instead of 1 in a million. But you are comparing it to the wrong set. You are much, much less likely to get myocarditis from the vaccine vs unvaxxed that catch covid.

And in the current climate, the likelyhood of catching covid, especially as an unvaxxed person is rather high.
Surprisingly enough I have two friends who both run mills (one is a Bridgeport the other is a full size Japanese brand) who use single-phase to 3-phase converters. Plugged into a 240V outlet they are essentially motor/generator sets. I was going to use one for a VAX6000 until I figured out the only reason for the 3-phase requirement was the blowers and re-wired it to work on 2-phase.
Would getting hit by one of these things basically mean you won the lottery?
I wonder how much has been spent over the years suppressing this?

I've not tried a straight broiler method—I do stovetop start, then a few minutes of straight bake, then just a little broiler—but when I do pan pizza I tend to make a thicker crust and pile things a bit higher. Bet if I made a pizza only on the flat, not running up the sides, that'd work just fine. Have to try that next time. I'd love to replace my pizza stone with more large cast iron pans, since they're more versatile.

The simpler "no code" trick I use is just import the Google Calendar as a separate calendar and side-by-side it. You can do the same in the other direction.
Am I supposed to come away thinking they're both reasonable interpretations which accurately critique the main argument in this article? Because that's what I came away with.

(At the moment, the other to comment is about how focusing on positive goals is a good business strategy, not just light-stepping on legal egg shells.)

Yes, it does.
I read the entire post. Still not following. Perhaps just a misunderstanding between us?
There's a lot to be said for 1L form factors, which were included in the article, which are basically the size of a Mac Mini.

I have an HP ProDesk 405 Mini, with an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750GE (Zen 2 based). 8 cores, 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.1GHz and boosts to 4.3GHz. Includes 8 Vega 64 GPU cores. Tossed 64GB of memory into it and a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Supports AMD Dash for basic LOM.

Idles at like 12-14W. Always silent. When stuff with the 5750GE hit they'll be better still. It's a great (and cheaper!) alternative to something like a Threadripper 5970X (when it hits in Novemberish) desktop if you wanted to cluster a few and have a low-power Apache Spark cluster that can actually rip through things. I think the only downer would be the lack of 10GbE support unless the next round of 1Ls offer 10GbE cards as options.

I pasted the current top comment for you since you seem to be having trouble finding it or reading it:

>When I was at IBM 15 years ago, IBM was far from being a monopoly, since there were plenty of competitors in the hardware space (HP, Sun, Dell, etc) and in the software space (Oracle, SAP, etc.) and in the Services space (Accenture, PwC, KPMG, etc.) employees still had to complete annual legal training that was very similar to what was described in the post.

>Any large company with half-way competent legal counsel is going to tell their employees not to say, "our goal is to crush our competitors, dominate the market, and hear the lamentation of their women." Instead they will tell their employees to focus on making life better for their customers. It's a much healthier way for product managers to focus, and what you might do if the goal is "crush/dominate the competition" is not the same than if the goal is delight the customer. So it's not just a messaging strategy to prevent embarassing e-mails from coming out at trial; it's a business strategy, too.

Hope this helps.
So the way I see it, there no way we can tolerate the Taliban facilitating attacks on US soil.

So after the initial invasion and defeat of Taliban forces, what is the correct move? Occupation didn’t work, but leaving after overthrowing the theocracy just allows the theocracy to reform.

It seems to me that a more thorough elimination of the remaining Taliban is the only other option here. I am legitimately asking what the other options are.
Care to share which model? Last time I checked, the few dumb TVs I could find were at least 30% more expensive than a similar smart one.
While of course there are startups that engineer novel and industrially relevant products, I have to agree that "startup culture" is indeed largely synonymous with "apps" (web, mobile, b2b, saas, marketplace etc.) and that this is, as he calls it, "narrow entrepreneurism".

"Narrow" given there is a vast global economy in need of hard engineering innovations - agriculture, mining, construction, energy, chemicals, biotech, manufacturing, machinery, vehicles, aerospace, science/discovery, environment/planet, telecomm, computer hardware, robotics. On the other hand apps, marketplaces, SaaS, AI, blockchain, RPA, most of the world doesn't really care about it and perhaps they shouldn't...
I think it is more likely they are targeting budget conscious people that are busy with a high paying white collar job and who don't have the time to visit dealers and haggle and want the luxury of just coming home and having the car delivered.
You can do wings and flat breads. You can also pop things in while the oven cools down after making pizzas.
Well, if Gab is clever, they can position themselves here as a privacy alternative.

I do want to reuse these, i just dont want to have to override the shitty style that comes with them that clashes with my design anyway. Also bootstrap for example doesnt do all of these so you would have to use yet another 3rd party library on top of bootstrap. Bootstrap is useless to me, but I’m not against component libraries in general.
Here in the Bay Area I know a guy who both wires and de-wires commercial buildings for networking. It is surprising to me how many businesses move out and simply discard any equipment they installed in the POE to support their network. He gave me a Catalyst 9000 series to play with (he usually sells them to the resellers) and it was cool to be playing with "real" hardware but man, that thing was LOUD with the fans.

With this weird form of temp surfing I have been able to
make good pizza:

.25” steel at second from
top position, 550 warmup, turn off oven and open oven for a second, switch on to hi broil, pop in pizza after a few minutes. Steel gets to 650 but I think it’s thin enough to exhaust some of it’s heat.
I believe the appeal for CalyxOS is attempting to bring more convenience with privacy, where apps you've mentioned are already installed. A major difference is the inclusion of microG, which means you have more freedom to use apps you have no alternative to (e.g. government apps, banking apps, etc).

I'm aware of the LineageOS for microG project, however apart from the aforementioned preinstalled set of apps, CalyxOS includes many system patches shared by other projects such as GrapheneOS, which include privacy enhancements on default AOSP DNS fallbacks, connectivity checks, NTP, and more.

I would also like to mention that Signal does not require microG or Google Play Services for auto backup (or notifications). The backup files are stored locally on the device and can be easily synced with Syncthing, Nextcloud, etc.
I don’t know about your definitions, but 300M is a fuckton of money to me.
If big tech corporations actually had to pay for the public sector innovations via taxes, the US Gov would probably not have trillions of USD in debt. Also, a lot less innovation. Neoliberalism is an extremely inefficient & inequitable system.

Don't overload with toppings and try to parcook stuff that's high on water. For example, mushrooms should never go on a pizza fresh, they should be reduced on a dry skillet (and optionally seasoned).
What exactly do you want to do with past events? At least in the west (I am a South Asian) they document it and possibly learn from it / incorporate it in studies (Germany). Would you rather have the Chinese method of whitewashing or completely censoring past (bad) events? There is pretty much no empire in history which hasn't tried to expand, coerce, or otherwise influence weak states, so going back hundreds of years is pure uselessness. Take China for example - Do you think the current generation of Chinese bother about failures of CCP during the cultural revolution or would they be happy about what the CCP has achieved in the last 30 years?

Also, learn about what happened in Afghanistan from 1975 - You'll find that it has evolved into a proxy war between many parties, but was started by an Afghan president seeking help from Soviets.
Also GC by default and systems programming language just don't mix. Rust tried to have GC in it at the early stage of development, but the developers realized that it must be get rid of to make it compete with C/C++.

Ah, okay, makes sense.

The network connectivity, NTP issues and others are the reason why I have Termux installed (to be able to modify the /system/etc/hosts file, as the network core library ignores VPN settings).

Granted, streamlining these apps makes more sense to the end user. I wish Android would have a package manager that would allow creating a meta package for this kind of stuff.
Get paid to improve Linux and open-source security
Nim's new garbage collector was designed with embedded systems in mind [1]. It uses non-atomic/non-locking reference counting combined with C++11 move semantics. The usage of move semantics enables both performance increases and a method to ensure memory is only "owned" by one thread (which enables non-atomic reference counting). Theres optional cycle collection support but I prefer to keep embedded code acyclical.

On your second point you can use Nim's effect system to ensure no allocations occur in a given function or its callees. Currently no one has done this, and might be tricky with the reference counting, but not too difficult either.

I used Nim with ARC for a latency sensitive embedded project. To avoid allocation on the tight reading loop I pre-allocated the values needed, or made them global variables. A few extra integer ops didn't matter, but allocation is sloooow. However, I'd eventually like to add allocation tracking to the effect system. Rather, make the existing effects more granular for this purpose.

I specifically addressed that Calyx and Graphene require binary blob drivers:

> ...especially the Android-based OSes, which use non-Free binary blob drivers.

I then explain why someone may choose to use a binary blob driver OS anyway, which is essentially that the current threats we face as individuals by surveillance in the form of large companies (specifically Google and Apple) personally outweigh the freedoms of Free Software for me at this time.

I'm making this choice consciously, knowing it's a compromise. I personally believe it's a compromise we need to make right now since the alternative is either a non-functional phone or to wait until there's a 100% Free phone and be subject to surveillance in the meantime.
Genuinely curious.

Are there any examples, where a worthy achievement was made by a nice, agreeable, likeable person?

Each achiever story I recall, is accompanied by how asshole the person is/was, to a set of folks.

> because Signal still requires microG or other Google Services for their auto backup, which I don't agree with.

I never used Signal with GServices, so I don't know what you mean with auto backup, nevertheless I simply use the backup function and sync the backup folder with my cloud and it works fine for several years now. For me it seems like a hard constrain to use Telegram which is obviously less secure over Signal only because of an auto backup function. Using Android without GServices always has a compromise part.
tbh I actually do think this is an error. I worked someone where we didn't do this and I think of it as a bug rather than a missing feature. It makes it very difficult to identify the token if it's ever leaked without checking it against our database!

The trick with timing attacks is that you don't measure the time taken for a single request. You send the same request thousands of times and take an average of the response time, which lets you pick away at the secret one character at a time.
It only seems that way because French time is in decimal.

1. Like he said, put tin foil over the glass. At those temps a wet piece of dough, or ingredients, will shatter the glass. In the article he said to cut the lever on the oven with pruning sheers. Use a file, or hacksaw. (I'm thinking about using hvac foil tape to tape the foil over the glass. Not using foil tape directly on the glass, but on the sides holding the loose foil in place. I'm assuming that tape will take high temps? If I gave the nerve to do this?

2. If I owned a cooking school, this guy would get an honorary degree. It's more enlightening than most PhD theses. Just kidding professional students. Kinda? I had an ex whom killed hundreds of lab rats validating an experiment that has been validated 40 times. She killed the rats by banging their heads onto a granite stone. She got mad when I didn't want to know more. She is now a vegetarian, but eats Salmon because it's good for her hair. I made the mistake of telling her she easen't technically a vegetarian over a "romantic" dinner. She didn't want to be just friends? She was out of my league thankfully. Meaning I wasen't worthy, and I agreed. (Sorry--reminiscing.)

3. If I read everything correctly, keeping the dough similar to stiff cake batter is what most of us have been doing wrong, along with the long wet mix in the mixer? This makes sence. I've heard a lot of bakers say to keep all dough wet, or as wet as possible.
"Unscientific" is a good example.
Millennials are far more likely to change cities than their boomer or gen-x parents.

Avacado toast or not, I'm not sure the data is settled on whether millennials waste more money than boomers or gen-xers. They just waste it on different things.

Phones have much larger batteries and pack far more functionality into a small space than a regular watch. Hard to see how the constraints are comparable.
> at least there will be lessons learned for the future development of vaccines and increased scrutiny in their manufacturing process.

I’m nagging, but we’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to set a precedent where pharmaceutical companies are relieved of the burden of demonstrating the safety of their products and also relieved of the risk of providing relief to anyone harmed by said products.

20 years later, emergency measures to protect Americans from terrorism are in effect today. I doubt Pfizer will be vulnerable to class-action suits ever again.
