> That's repair, not parts

I'm aware. It doesn't really matter if the final repair service is cheaper than buying the part and doing it yourself and leaves a better, like new result rather than a repair job done by an amateur.

> and it's only screens, not any of the other many parts that often fail.

They repair any part of the phone that fails, screens were just the first example I found are trawling for a few seconds with google. Apple does cheap battery replacements and will swap motherboards too.
if you want to save and don't have a bank within a reasonable traveling distance - what are your alternatives? Almost everywhere in africa will have at least spotty internet within walking distance - the same can't be said of access to a bank. Now if you have identification maybe you can open an internet bank account (although I suspect that's very difficult for countries/areas that are under-served) or you could buy crypto from any vendor and know that it's secure the second you send it to your wallet.

It's also likely to be expensive to send paper money to your internet bank account as you'll be purchasing wire services or similar, whereas crypto vendors could be nothing more than a contact you have buys crypto and sells in exchange for paper currency.

I don't know enough about these peoples situations to know what will end up serving them best, but I do know having options will always be to their benefit and at the very least crypto will be competition on competing forms of currency.

The article's entire point is that the graphics were redesigned for more CBS-ness.
But doesn't Google and many other tech companies in the silicon valley own all the code you write as a developer while employed?
That's kind of a no-moonlighting policy.
> I would be totally fine if society made moves to close loopholes but I can't blame people for leveraging loopholes that exist because we should all do that.

You can still blame for bribing politicians to create these loopholes in the first place.
But you can already rebuild the entire world on every package change if you want (for sadomasochistic reasons? it basically makes gentoo with say KDE _unusable_); and I fail to see if there would be any practical difference on whether you statically link, you dynamically link to a hash-based soname a la nix, or you dynamically link -- you are just rebuilding everything on every library change, and you are already assuming ASLR is useless.
This sounds a lot more like company politics than a technical issue, but I would probably start with Mitchell Hashimoto's talk "Advanced Testing With Go" - along with the just, like, reading the tests / testing tools in stdlib. They didn't include httptest so you could spend time mocking away http.Client usage behind an interface!

(I should add that this is explicitly contra to e.g sethammons's suggestion above, which seems to be relatively common in the part of the Go community that come from PHP. I inherited a couple large projects that did this. Today they use sqlite instead, and both the program and test code is ~50% the size it used to be.)

For us, stub injection points come naturally out of 12-factor-style application design; the program can already configure the address of the 2-3 other things it needs to talk to or files it needs to output, etc, just out of our need for manual testing or staging vs. production environments. If you have technical leadership encouraging Spring-but-in-Go, you'll probably hit a wall here too though.

It's also possible you're simply writing too many functions that can return errors. Over-complex code makes over-complex tests; always think about whether you're handling an error or a programming mistake - if the latter, panic instead of returning.

G700 has long legs. It can fly from New York to Hong Kong without a stop. Plus, it doesn't have to reduce it's speed when flying over land.

A Boom aircraft would presumably only be able to use it's selling point on routes over open water. That completely shuts out almost all of the Asia market - it's range isn't great enough to make it from Asia to the US, and most other routes Asians fly mainly cross land.

The only buyers would be American east coast billionaires that go to Europe often and European billionaires that come to the US often. Are there enough of these?

Relational databases are very significantly graph-like in structure, after all, they're filled with foreign keys when decomposed, and foreign keys build graphs, hence why ER diagrams aren't tables. The main issue is that the language used isn't intended for selecting pieces of your data layout in their original structure, it's intended to use that original structure to return table-like projection results that can be expressed through math a la abstracted matrix operations essentially (relational calculus, etc.).

The reason "graphs" seems easier is because people tend to ignore the data models for intuiting relationships, like "An Arm has a Hand," which SQL can handle pretty well, but can't return in a nested way. In some respects, this suggests SQL is missing a new syntax layer more than anything. That said, SQL, the back-end model, does fall short when modeling non-directed graphs IMO, though I'm not sure it's easy to express non-directed graph queries in GraphQL either. (And I don't have the experience with Graph DBs to know too much about what they offer.)

That said, I don't think it should take two hours to explain many to many tables. In graph terms, they're an expression of the requirement that you need a record to indicate every pairwise combination (edge) that exists. So to me that implies the mental version of "Graph" M2M was probably incomplete, as M2M is a very graph-centric concept.

There's a lot you can do, such as borrow against it as collateral, transfer it to other offshore companies in return for services (the entire deal happening in the tax haven - therefore not taxed), or even have it hold property which you can then use.
Network with Potential FAANG Cofounders
I'm looking for great cofounders with similar backgrounds, working styles, and strong leadership/technical expertise.

The general advice is to build relationships in college + at work, but that hasn't been enough for me from a top of funnel perspective.

I have tried YC Startup School Cofounder Matching, YMMV, as there are no requirements (other than a filled out profile) for anyone to post. Being a cofounder should be open to anyone in the world, for sure!

I put together Bye OKRs to help connect FAANG folks, hoping to open it in the future. Lmk your thoughts!
>And I look around and not only don't see any riots; I sometimes get the feeling that people are actually envious, sometimes even respectful of the ingenuity it takes to manufacture these schemes. It's tough.

What riots did you participate in? If none, are you among the ones you assume to be envious?
Funny how calling women ‘bodies with vaginas’ or ‘menstrators’ isn’t considered offensive, while calling all males ‘men’ will get you fired and potentially in legal trouble. People have lost their damned minds.

This has always been my number one praise for Go as well. A lot of it has to do with gofmt I think.
yes. personalization has taken over information products and is coming for real world objects. there are physical goods where custom size or features are so important that they in essence make it a new product category.
Given my greater productivity with uninterrupted concentration, give me asynchronous communication mechanisms, please. I’m a scientific software developer, and there’s little that has to be done now - put it in the bug system with a high priority. I can read that asunchronously as well.

Slack or texts are good for questions or changes of schedule, but even thought it’s searchable it’s distracting.
Well, there has been a little-noticed revolution in meteorology in the US in the past 15 years, driven by improved simulations and measurement systems (mostly funded by the federal government). Our predictive capability is well over 10x improved from just the late 90s when it was still quite poor.
> How can we have free markets when we don't even know who owns what?

Good point, but take a number. We can't have free markets because most "regulation" is set up to favor some side or the other. There isn't even and fair competition. What we have is government sanctioned winners (and losers).

Before we get to who owns what, let's talk about how Uncle Sam can shamelessly put his thumb on the scale (read: bias and corruption) and too rarely be called out for doing so.
> They see it as a kind of gilded age lords and their servants.

The vexing thing is that everyone thinks that they are going to end up on the "lord" side of this duality. I think this is the biggest lie of the 20th and 21th century; that this game is in any way, shape or form a fair one. The game is rigged and while everyone seems to recognize this on some level, almost everyone is trying to keep it rigged in the delusion that they be the masters one day.

The fools.
Honestly it's posts like this that make me think the HN lisp bump is out of control.

I have no idea what the hell the post is trying to stay, and as someone that cares enough about both to repeatedly complain that Template Haskell needs to be more like Racket with proper phase separation, I didn't learn anything and just see vague oft-repeated aphorisms juxtaposed.
Improve your chances of what?

The goal you are trying to achieve should inform the answer.
I’ve enjoyed each reread almost as much as the first. What a book!
There are only scripting solutions right now based on pacmd and acpi calls. My pinebook pro needs a hack like this as well for when I want to use my headset.

So putting a script /etc/acpi/ should do the trick, but is a bit hacky.
People aren't going to riot if their lives are pretty good, regardless if others are cheating the system. Bread and circuses.
"Stay away from Children of the Sky unless, having finished Fire Upon the Deep, your response was "I'd sure like to hear more about those whiny children and the dogs""

See my other comment up-thread ... what I really want is the opposite of this. I want the battling civilizations beyond the void memes all fleshed out. I want more details on how the civilizations "ascended" beyond the (whatever the demarcation point was). I want more details on how they came back on "our side" of that point and what it means and what their motivations are, etc.

Those are the plot pieces and background that are never fully fleshed out in Upon the Deep that make me rate it lower than In the Sky.

Let me also say ...

I have never played Mass Effect but there is a fascinating and deep backstory and created universe for that game that I find interesting and terrifying in the same ways I am interested in, and terrified by, the Vinge books:

"The Reapers are the original creators of the Citadel and the mass relay network. These massive constructs exist so that any intelligent life in the galaxy would eventually discover them and base their technology upon them – all part of a scheme to harvest the galaxy’s sentient life in a repeating cycle of purges that has continued relentlessly over countless millennia. "

Somebody very big keeps going, hacking those offshore law firms for years in a row.

This cannot be just leaks keeping consistently popping up like that.

I am trying to guess whose doing it may be?
I think Sartre nailed it. Its about radical acceptance of every single decision one has made. No one can take away my choices. Even if I was unfairly imprisoned for life, if my soul couldn't be extinguished I would consider it a worthwhile life.
That's part of the EMV standards; the terminal parameters set by the bank or the merchant are combined with the card parameters set by the issuer to determine threshold for risk.

A merchant or bank in a 3rd world country may decide on thresholds that effectively never do a fallback transaction.
> Alternatively, they were shaped by hand, though I'd expect them to be smoother if that were the case.

Maybe they were a way of marking the passage of time in one's life? If the owners made a tiny amount of progress toward a sphere shape every day (or week/month/etc.), only the oldest folks would end up buried with one that looked like a sphere. All of the others would look more like normal rocks, and probably be ignored if they were found while digging.

Two of them together, with roughly the same amount of smoothing, might mean a couple was originally buried there. The second one could also have belonged to a grieving spouse or relative, or even be a trophy taken from an enemy.
Whatever. Black Widow was not "fully created with motion capture before a script was even written." Obviously.

Do you want to understand?

Or is saying "I do not understand" a way of saying "I do understand, I just disagree that people are interested in it" ?

I ask both questions, often in different orders when I see such a statement. Most of the time the user does not answer me, but when they do it's clear that they just disagree with others. This leads me to think the question "i do not understand" is dishonest. I'd love and am still open to be corrected though.

Did you actually read your link? That's not at all what it says.
Oh, agreed 100%. Thanks for the clarification. This is indeed what I do. I heavily enforce contracts (something some of my coworkers do not appreciate ;-).

Perhaps we don't agree on everything here, though, because I still do not see any problems with the existence of NPEs. However, I do appreciate language features that allow you to enforce non-nullability at compile time if desired.
It is definitely weird. It might be the fact that the average person today is so far removed from the events and their life just keeps going. Why expend energy on rioting when everyday life is fine? We all have a ton of other stuff to do.

On a sidenote, this is why I always preferred Brave New World over 1984. Easier to keep the population in control by keeping them satisfied.

Central banks set the interest rates that regular banks base their rates at. I don't know how you would de-couple those relationships.

Inflation like what we had under the gold standard is bad, it leads to currency hoarding. Deflation is bad, as it leads to all sorts of bad effects. And minimal inflation can also be bad, as it leads to higher asset prices if the velocity is dropping.

I've been working through a thought experiment where we have a cryptocurrency that ensures that velocity stays constant. It does so by enforcing a tax on transactions, where you lock in a transaction to occur at a certain time in the future, but you can pay for it to occur sooner. The more we are taxing, the more we can ensure that the economy is doing well, the more the money supply is allowed to expand.

I'm also thinking that PoW is an extremely bad model, and I would prefer to work with their proof-of-weather, where weather is determined by a combination of many different weather trackers that we can prove occurred but are unable to predict much ahead of time.

It seems to be a good model, but there's still a lot to think about.
I will take an imposter over a grandiose narcissist any day! (But then I am an imposter too.)
Despite mounting evidence that the virus reached humans through natural pathways — from infected animals such as bats — the lab-leak hypothesis recently jumped back into the news, thanks to CNN, the investigative news site the Intercept, and the Atlantic.

Where is the so described "mounting evidence"?

A paper posted online earlier this month chiefly by researchers at France’s Institut Pasteur and under consideration for publication in a Nature journal, however, reports that three viruses were found in bats living in caves in northern Laos with features very similar to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.

Is that all?

The mass of Earth is about 6E24kg. The crust makes up about 1% of that, and silicon makes up about 28% of that. So about 1.68E22kg silicon is available on Earth. Assume we convert all of that to a giant computer, capable of operating at Bremermann's Limit[1]. That would give about 2.28E72 (quantum) operations/second. 2^255 / 2.28E72 ≈ 25400 seconds to count to 2^255. Figure a measly 100 operations to test each key, and you're looking at a month per key to brute-force. And that's ignoring light-speed communication delays between parts of the computer, which would dominate.

If it looks like someone is going to build a quantum computer out of the entire mass of the silicon in Earth's crust, I suggest 512-bit keys. That'll keep your secrets safe for about 9E73 years. I'd also suggest finding a new planet to live on, the mining operation would likely be somewhat disruptive.

For a more realistic comparison, perhaps they've only got a computer with as much mass of iron ore as the recent annual world production for the last thousand years (2.5E9 tonnes/year = 2.5E15 kg). Then it'll take around 5000 to run 2^255 operations.

Many people snack right up until bedtime (sometimes even literally in bed) and then rush to feed again the second they wake up. So technically, there is a fast during sleep, but technically, there is a fast every second you don't have food in your mouth, I suppose.

The point is, duration is important. I don't know if there's a standard, but in the intermittent fasting literature, 18/6 is one of the common schedules, so you'd eat from noon to 6pm for example. The other 18 hours would be 0 calorie intake hours.

Rather than fixed schedules, what you need is a period of time long enough that your body enters ketosis rather than using energy directly from glucose. The schedules are a rough guideline.
A riot is just going to make my life certainly worse for the slight chance of making someone else's life worse for reasons that really don't effect me.

Quite depressing that regions have such sh*t vaccination rates after watching Italy wrestle with this issue in early 2020. They did not have any idea how to treat the symptoms and there were no vaccines. We now have both, so why is politics causing us to read stories like this?
The thing with all of these is that the rich people are probably just as surprised as you are to show up in these leaks in most cases.

When you get barely rich, like single digit millions, the banks will start to offer you "family office" services. They basically just take care of everything for you. You send them all your money and all your debts (even your phone bills and stuff), and they promise to make sure there is more at the end of the year than the start. They invest for you, they do accounting and file taxes for you. You give them limited power of attorney so you don't even see the tax forms.

If you ask how it all works, they tell you it's really complicated and you should just focus on doing whatever it is that made you rich and let them worry about managing the money for you. Sometimes they do ethical stuff, sometimes not, depending on which bank and which consultant you hire.

I'm not excusing the people who are here, just explaining how some people who you thought were good people end up in these leaks.
I don't listen at high volume and my hearing is quite excellent. I'm guessing that there's something about your ear canal that causes a really good seal (maybe wet ears), or maybe something about my ear canal that I don't get these perfect air-tight bass-thumping seals. FWIW I don't force in-ears deeply into my ear canal, because that's uncomfortable as heck (and tends to make the bass way to boomy and overpronounced in my experience). I only stick the soft rubber part in.
Probably stock buybacks. Company 2 then spends the profit on buying company 1's stock, which they basically burn. Stock prices go up and owners recoup value through capital gains.
We know what government is per se, regardless of the motives of the earliest state governments.

But here we miss an important point which is that government is natural to human societies. The mistake is to think that government is some artificial construct at odds with human nature. Tribes are governed. Families, the smallest society, are governed. What we call "government" is just a modification of the most basic form of government of the family (kings, for example, were analogically fathers of the kingdom). The authority of the state is derived from the authority of parents through the principle of subsidiary.
Bank secrecy is as old and nefarious as switzerland, the public already assumes that this thing is happening and that power comes with corruption (or else why would people want power). For political parties to demand equal access to these tax-avoidance instruments is obviously politically a non-starter. The current capitalism/power complex puts everyday people on a treadmill where they wish to become the ones who can one day avoid taxes, rather than demand this to stop now. Therefore the loopholes keep shifting arount the globe. Taxation is what separates the plebs from the elites
