"retire early" does not necessarily have to mean "retire tomorrow", I guess it depends how old you are.

If you're in your 20s or 30s, 2M is probably not "retire tomorrow" money, but it would probably let you retire very early if you managed it and made smart investments with it. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think many ICs are getting even 50k from startup equity, nevermind 2M.

20M is "retire tomorrow" money for sure. And definitely workers do not get that kind of money from startup equity.

Most of what I hear now is companies giving fake "shares" that are ostensibly tied to the value of the company but are not actually shares and do not represent any ownership. If they do give shares it's not enough to pay out big, and they get diluted repeatedly over time.

It shouldn't be particularly surprising that the two parts are cryptographically paired, the sensors for the IR camera and the HSM within the main processor are extensions of the same security boundary effectively. If you could replace the sensor without something being unhappy, the system would be completely broken.
Not an identical match but perhaps as an intuition pump you can think about fourier transform of audio that is "clipping".
Yes, they did. You had to save the touch sensor during the replacement due to hardware signing.
I don't understand this desire, why would you ever want that? The point of using something like Plex is to organize by metadata.
This is incorrect. FaceID is not disabled if you perform the screen replacement correctly, you just need to transplant the faceid bits between the screen modules.

I'm probably what most people would call a fundamentalist Christian but your claim is wildly inaccurate. For example I know we're discussing this on HN even though the Bible says no such thing.

Everyone has an epistemology that includes multiple sources of knowledge. There is some form of knowledge that every person thinks is ultimately authoritative. In other words if two sources make competing claims, whom do I believe? This varies based on the credibility of the claimant and the reasons for the claim. For example, if a con-artist told you he would deposit $1M in your bank account if you give him your credentials, and an FBI agent told you the guy was a scammer, based on the facts and reputations of those involved you would probably believe the FBI agent. The greater the credibility of the source, the more confidence you have in their claims. At some point you reach a level of what you think is the ultimate foundation for what you know (even if that foundation is you).

The "fundamentalist" position is that God is the most credible being, given his infallibility and omniscience. If a person disagrees with God, no matter how fervently, my epistemology is that the person is mistaken and God is correct.

That is, however, very different from believing that the Bible is the only source of knowledge. In fact, the Bible explicitly states that there are other sources of knowledge (which common sense would also tell you), for example Psalm 19 and Romans 1.

You have to distinguish Java the language and the JVM: Class files generated by any (?) version of the Java compiler before the JVM version you’re using will usually work on the newer JVM. Java 9+ started removing classes, breaking API compatibility: but, generally, there are additional jars/command-line options that can be used to restore the older behavior.

Minecraft, in particular, has always worked fine with Java 9+, ime: if you know the flags to apply (and delete the jar that checks the Java version), it more or less just worked. I’ve been running it for a year+ on new JVMs so I could use the Shenandoah GC and take advantage of more of the 128GB RAM in my desktop.
> Is it possible for a position to occur in a legal game of chess where all pieces and pawns are on the board, all of them are on their original squares, and white does not have the move?

No, and that's quite easy to prove: With all pawns on their original position, the only valid moves are by knights and rooks, and for each such move the moving piece changes the color of space it occupies (for rooks that's because they have only 1 empty place to move).

That is, in order to return to the initial position, each side must make an even number of moves (knights exchanged or not), so next move will be always white's.

I don't think i have ever had a problem figuring out which citation corresponds to which sentence.

Unless you mean which user added it? I fail to see what a potentially ephemeral pseudonom really tells me. Its not like you need to present a drivers license to edit wikipedia. Anyone can be anybody.

But even ignoring that, i suppose i just don't agree. Seems like one big exercise in the genetic fallacy. I want people to show their work, and have their encyclopedic writing work be evaluated on its merits. I'm mistrustful of systems that put stock in people's reputations over what they actually do.
> Once the platform is in place, money is supposed to flow through the system without much extra effort at all.

In other words, rent-seeking behavior.
I personally think that you’re doing the right thing. Thinking too much about extensibility too early or applying patterns often makes your code overengineered, and in no way can guarantee that it can be extended in the right direction.

Having to rewrite existing features differently is mostly a consequence of you not being an expert in the business application you’re writing.

Maybe if you’d invest more time upfront to understand deeply what the application is for and how people are going to use it, you’d be able to spare a few mistakes.

But even being an expert and talking to people doesn’t shield you from that problem. There is always a new feature that contradicts how the code works. It’s just a consequence of software being so malleable.

As a car driver, you can’t ask the car maker: “hey can the needle on the speedometer turn red when I go over 60?”, or “hey I need this car to work with both gas and diesel?”

This would be perfectly reasonable in a software equivalent world.

In the end, you just need to explain this to your client…

This isn’t exactly true: javax.xml.bind-related ClassNotFound errors are a fairly common problem when running old Java applications on new JVMs. Thankfully, the solution is just to include the relevant jar that implements the classes that have been removed.
You’re not wrong, but when doctors work longer shifts, they work fewer days of the week. The total weekly hours are the same, they are just distributed differently.
It’s easy to dismiss centuries of cultural evolution across thousands of extant and extinct societies. Taking a look at the absurdities of spending a small fortune on a wedding ceremony, the magical incantation of the vows out loud in front of people who love you and want the best for you can seem pretty unnecessary, this can all look ridiculous from the limited vantage point of a single life’s partial experience.

But sometimes once you put down the metaphorical tweezers and take off the lab coat, you find out that there are reasons that this stuff exists. You might be surprised.
It's really annoying that they didn't even acknowledge the problem officially. Till about 15 minutes ago, their status page said everything was fine. Their Twitter account still doesn't mention any technical problems. But the service has been having issues for at least 3 hours. [1]

Most people I know that started using Signal a few months ago are now back to using Whatsapp. Privacy is a nice feature to advertise, but when both your UX and your reliability suck, it's not a good combo.

I am now of the view that mindfulness in the Theravada Buddhist tradition is accompanied by an overall attitude of renunciation (nekkhamma in Pali).

Besides, the Pali word for mindfulness, sati, is one of the Seven Factors of Awakening (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Factors_of_Awakening). So as part of a whole practice, besides just bare attention and a mind that doesn't move much, there's factors like joy, energy, and tranquility to balance.

Not to mention the precepts as a prerequisite to even starting the practice.

I used to think this mindfulness stuff could be completely stripped of its context, like an extra secular Buddhism, but I'm not so sure anymore.

the spectral domain representation of the halftone image is cool. seeing as it's periodic itself, would be fun to play with a 2d cepstral representation and then liftering out the low frequency peaks that seem to be generated by the halftoning.
You are wrong. "Dual intent" of H1B means that you can get it while having an application for a green card on your behalf (thus expressing an immigration intent). In general nonimmigrant visas are denied with such an intent but H1B and few others can still be issued.

But you can apply for a green card with any visa or no visa at all, there is no visa requirements on a green card application (I140 if we are talking about EBGC specifically) what so ever.
Please elaborate what arguing semantics means to you in this context.

The comment above seems very relevant to me. Sure, mindfulness (meditation?) can be both.

Still, the signposts point primarily not to thinking as the driver of doing (being), but to awareness itself.
It will if you smoke it.
In Germany 2,719 people died in traffic in 2020. In the US it was around 40,000. Germany has 1/4 the population, so maybe there are many other factors that can be tweaked before we let 5,000 lbs death machines roam around autonomously.
What's a good alternative to Signal on Android for casual messaging? I don't think Element is a good fit since it's not easy to ask a friend or family member to sign up for Element whereas it's simple to install Signal.

- XML starts with a version designator.

- JSON allows arbitrary integers to be represented as numeric values. That works fine on its own, but it causes serious problems if you trust the name of the format, "JavaScript Object Notation". You can't do that in JavaScript objects.

- JSON has no comments. Or version designators.

The big problems in XML are named closing tags and the weird distinction between children and attributes. JSON did those things better, by not having them at all. But XML is a long, long way from "like JSON, but worse in every way".

(Another big problem in XML-considered-as-an-ecosystem is the prevalence of people who want to deal with it by using regular expressions. As far as the technology goes, this is a non-issue -- it's a problem with the user, not the technology. But I do have to admit that the JSON equivalent appears to be loading the data into a parser that doesn't work, as opposed to loading the data into a non-parser that doesn't work.)
Yes and no. It works for the deep web, but for anything that needs more frequent crawling no. They don't do it often enough.

I have mentioned this elsewhere, but id love there to be a single crawl that everyone was able use and build indexes off. It would be especially good for webmasters too as you would have one bot to worry about and optimise for, reducing the load on systems, and allowing for innovation in the search space that cloud flare and other cdn's are stifling because they understandably are blocking crawlers that aren't Google or Bing.

For example id love to see something added to robots.txt that allows you to say "crawl at 2am, hit has hard as you want, don't come back for a week" or some such. Having a single crawl could allow for this.
No, it wouldn't. The sensor is an imager. The back end, which interprets what it delivers, should be separate.

This is more petty Apple bullshit.

Ime, “upgrading to keep up with the progress of technology” is often code for “I haven’t learned the paradigm behind this legacy code base, but I know it’s bad”. I’ve spent so much time arguing against fad-driven development where people insist on rewriting year-old redux apps to use hooks because “hooks are the future”. At this point, I more or less reflexively oppose anyone who argues for a new technology just because it’s new.

Where did she come from?
The article is worse than parent commenter in sematics. It equates mindfulness with golfers 'paying attention to their swing' which is just plain wrong. Mindfulness is not focussing on an outcome, like hitting a golf ball exactly in the right way, but about understanding the breadth of experiences in the present - senses and thoughts.
I'm sure you know this but for the record, they don't actually ignore backward compatibility, it features often as a concern in the dev discussions and they're conscious of when they break it, and there can be deprecations[1].. it's a conscious tradeoff allowing development to go faster.

I'd argue Three.js beats native to make low upkeep & long lived end user (=portable) 3D apps, given all the churn, constant driver breakages necessitating new workarounds, proprietary-ness and fragmentation in 3D APIs. With Three you update to newer versions on your own time (if ever) and stuff doesn't break from under you. And in the decades long view WebGL 1 / WebGL 2 / WebGPU is used behind the scenes.

Another option: They do not actually know what they, nor their system, are doing.
> For market forces to work, we need to attribute some monetary value to the quality of life of animals.

In a free market, there is no "we". Each individual decides what to buy at what price based on whatever criteria they like, and each seller decides what to sell at what price based on whatever criteria they like. They everyone continually adjusts their choices based on what results they observe. There is no central authority that decides what anything is "worth".

> Eggs from chicken that have more space and can go outside suffer less but are more expensive to produce.

Generally, yes, which means you, as a buyer, have to be willing to pay more in order to provide a positive incentive to producers that do this. Which is exactly what my wife and I do when buying eggs (and many other things); we choose to pay more to reward producers that do things in a humane way and thus incur higher costs.

> Ignorance or questionable ethics should not be rewarded by monetary gain.

You are perfectly free to not buy from producers that don't do things the way you think they should be done.

> That is why relying on consumers to "vote with their wallet" is a fundamentally broken design.

If other consumers disagree with you, then the way for you to "fix" that "problem" is to convince them to change their buying decisions. Trying to get a central authority to dictate who can buy and sell what does not work; no central authority can aggregate all of the necessary information. It's mathematically impossible.

> External costs should always be included in the price of a product.

In general, the only viable way to do this is to not have externalities: to allow property rights to be traded so that all externalities get internalized, i.e., they are explicit costs or explicit benefits to one of the parties to the transaction. That ensures that they get properly taken into account.
Can you give an example or two of the software design patterns you’ve found helpful in the past? I had a big comment typed out but then realized there are many kinds of, like, “scopes” in your post.

The article is not about travel, it's about gaining entry to an ice hockey match. It's in same realm as gaining entry to a restaurant or any local business.

Not everyone wants KYC enforced on basic human activity such as satisfying your hunger for dumplings or meeting a friend for coffee.

They claim it's a temporary measure at certain venues, but they claim a lot of things. "We're announcing a 2 week snap lockdown" was said hundreds of days ago here in Melbourne. Only the tip of the Untruth iceberg.

Australians have already been tricked into a mandatory MyGov account. You can't delete that online account like you can your social media. Technically it's fine, but the concept and heading is concerning.

The voting public have less and less say in these things, and the fog of a pandemic is perfect cover to introduce a range of new mandates, otherwise shelved for being too unpopular.

Some will call this paranoia, others due diligence or an integrity test / pub test. I don't think it helps to exempt things like an Australia Card from the pub test because you think it would be "bloody useful". That's inviting the Trojan horse in with full knowledge of what's inside, and being okay with it because of the travel permissions it grants you.
I don’t doubt that one can do mental things to put one’s mind in an unusual state long term (nor that differences from these unusual states can be observed with a measurement device).

What I doubt is that doing so is prudent.

When you look at the ambiguously labeled knobs and levers in the locked control panel of your mind, is it really a good idea to pick the lock and mess around with the levers?

(Also, why would I even want to change whether a thing would cause my mental reaction to be “suffering”? Either “suffering” refers to something other than what I generally mean by the word, in which case, well, whether it is a benefit would depend on what that meaning is (but the default would be not to mess with things beyond my ken) , or it does, in which case, uh, no, I’d rather not be wireheaded kthx. Along the lines of https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/utilitarian-time-travel , if the baron would impale me on a pike, my preferred solution would be to prevent that, not to have a neural restructuring beam make it so I love getting impaled. )

They also did not acknowledge the previous big outage, that happen at the beginning of the year. Their blog does not mention what steps are being taken to mitigate scalability issues. While the protocol and their effort to make everything secure is amazing, lack of transparency into reliability is concerning and a barrier to adoption.

However, I don’t think the UX is bad, so far it has been sufficient for me.
