I have not the exact but a similar sense especially when we go higher normal forms.

I’d happy if someone could elaborate more one that, but to me it seems like if we do the higher normal form things eventually we get to a place very similar to tables being graph node/edge types and the table rows being the insances of nodes/edges. Even the join table in lower normal forms is clearly like an edge type, but ofc with tables I think it sucks more, because when you join tables it costs a lot, but in case of graphs the information is local to the graph node (table row) and there is no complexity boom issue.

Also, if we’d take it really far we could say every SQL Table shall only have 1 row meaning one node/object. I don’t think it’s partical, just a though lt experiment, wondering about its meaning.
If you want to look at the deeper questions the title invokes, this is the scam of how ThisPersonDoesNotExist and DALL-E work.

They deliver information to the brain, not actual pictures.

What they have created is amazing, but other than fooling other AI's their use is limited. They won't scale, they have gone the direction of information over fidelity.
Genuine question: does this require IP though? What prevents the subsidiary from paying the parent for "consultancy" or any other amorphous but non-IP service instead?
> I wonder how much post-1950 history is taught in current undergrad CS programs, like if a "databases" course will include a summary of any of the material you summarize.

My databases course (circa 2014 or so) covered the gist of this; we didn't spend much time talking about database systems before it, but we read the Codd paper and discussed how various companies began working on implementations over the next couple of decades.
Nope. It's corporate government mergers, such as the now well known facts that the white house and California state government are directly involved in facebooks editorial decisions. That's not capitalism. That's just a corporate state.
Years of practice :-)

Seriously though, I am actually in the process of writing a book/blog about this sort of thing (and a whole lot more). In the meantime, you can check out my old blog. See my profile for a link. When the new blog launches I'll post an announcement on the old one, so subscribe there if you want to be notified.

Fair enough, but I don’t think we can argue that Go had considerably less “legacy” during its modules transition than Python had during its various package management iterations. I think Go is just quite a lot simpler than Python (or Ruby for that matter) especially in how it distributes software (just source code, minimal dependencies on C, etc) which makes package management a lot easier.

> Even cigarette companies eventually stopped targeting children for harmful products.

No, they didn't, really. They just have made it less overt when direct, and do the rest of it through the non-cigarette tobacco product firms they invest in. The whack-a-mole on that industry and its marketing of nicotine addiction to children is ongoing.
Sure hypersonic missiles will be detectible by infrared sensors. But those sensors have limited range, narrow field of view, and don't work well through clouds. And IR sensors can't give precise range data so they're less useful for targeting interceptors.
A little bit worried, never liked “reboots.” Either be faithful or be different, splitting the difference makes the fans unhappy.

I guess I'm feeling cynical this evening, but doesn't this apply to, basically, every large(r) corporation that is not under some kind of external compulsion to NOT do this? From where I sit, older/public companies push for increased profits and newer/private companies push for market share. As far as safety is concerned, unless it's the product it's a cost that has to be controlled.
Imagine that there are two opposing views of a subject and then a big middle ground of people who don't care.

If the middle ground uses a term to describe a thing, then the wings have to use it as well. Or there has to be a real push by someone spending a lot of money on advertising to recast the concept. If someone goes around at the individual level making a thing of talking about "imaginary property" they are just going to look like an isolated crank. It isn't helpful.
This isn’t legal. A corporation that leases someone a car and a house is paying them a taxable income, regardless of it not being a cash income.
Limiting government intervention is (relatively) easy.

Limiting private fund or corporate doing funny stuffs is hard. Some of them is as large as a State.
There are a few different ways to deal with spot interruptions. First, it is a good idea to specify multiple instance types in your compute environment so even if some instances types become unavailable in spot, Batch can use another type automatically.

Second, you can rely on Spot Fleets which handle both spot and on-demand instances seamlessly https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/spot-fle...

I registered an account just to respond to this: "So, I guess we all just have to go along with the booster shots until they 'get it right'."

The Pfizer and especially Moderna vaccines were as close as we could get to an ideal vaccine and had a high efficacy rate - for the Alpha variant. We did get it right. Additionally, the risk of death from the vaccine is effectively zero outside of extremely rare and very specific circumstances that are much less common than death or long term to permanent side effects of COVID-19.

The target is a moving one, especially when a substantial part of the population allows (or can do nothing to stop) the virus to mutate unchecked. The Delta variant has a slightly different spike protein, and we are very lucky the vaccines remain effective at all against it.
What is the average person’s interest in creating laws aroubd i corporation? Doesn’t it stand to reason that it’s the people creating businesses that would be the ones suggesting the laws that protect themselves from liability?

The fact that corporate charters are never revoked points to the laws being in the corporations favor, not the citizens’

To be clear: I do not advocate required office time for anyone. For me I’d like to spend a week in the office with my peers in leadership and we all have a lot of ability to do that without much chaos. We also can include folks actively who don’t want to come in, this is actually our company mandate, also. If there is any in person meeting it needs to be accessible and visible to remote folks.
First time I've ever heard of this (always preferred Heinlein to Asimov) and I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately drew connections to Historical Materialism and Marx.
The biggest conspiracy theory and insurrection attempt was the fake Russian conspiracy and the conspiracy to affect the election outcome conveniently described by time magazine.

I'm completely uninterested in a ragtag group of curly haired shirtless weirdos who stormed congress. I am concerned about large corporations, rich interest groups and large multi media conglomerates that have actual power to affect political dialogue without any consequence.

Why does every single article about Facebook manipulating data talk about the Jan 6 riot instead of the years long onslaught of fake news?
Do you have a source for this claim? I can buy that they don't do the fraud themselves, they delegate it. But they generally delegate it knowing full well the kind of actions that are going to be taken. Rich guys also have lawyers and are not kept in the dark while a bank does shady stuff they didn't mean.

I also doubt these delegations are to mainstream banks. I think "special services" probably need to be engaged and there's no plausible deniability on what you're looking for when you engage them, even if you ignore the names and number of offshore accounts you run.
It's useless trying to deny supply&demand setting prices. The law holds whether it's a personal fantasy of mine or not.

If you can explain how increasing the price of oil causes money to appear in my pocket to pay for it, I'm interested.

P.S. Nowhere did I say that supply was inelastic or prices are set by demand alone. I said "supply and demand".

This is exactly what my company plans when it’s safe though only twice a year, and we will easily pay for leadership to do the same more frequently if needed.

I planned to fly in where ever for that week, not commute every day.
I mentioned in another thread, my company is planning to do this twice a year but the actual company mandate is to make any in person meeting or gathering accessible to remote people.

As soon as you install Google play services it is pretty much a moot point. Also in the past LineageOS left in a lot of Google related code and in general focused more on features than privacy. Maybe that has changed but using a purpose built ROM like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS is a lot better & actually easier.

I always had a call recorder installed on my mobile, it saved my bacon a few times when dealing with scammy companies and various wankers.

Then a wakeup call arrives for me - my phone updates to the new version of android, on which google blocked call recording.

I installed a landline, and stopped spending money on fancy phones. I can't eacape them, but they will never see me spend more than a bare minimum.

How the economy works is pretty basic, knowing where all the corners of fraud lie is the part that makes it complicated.
There are some technical details to work out, but 1 hour to anywhere in the world is feasible with a ballistic missile, and impossible to beat with a supersonic aircraft. Whether those details can be ironed out to provide it commerically remains to be seen, but ballistic missile technology was proven in the 1970s. The ridiculous part isn't because of how long it takes to get on and off a spaceship. Even if it took 3 hours to get on and three more to get off, 7 hours would still beat 17 hours in a plane going Sydney to London.
The reason why the Openshift [1] is added to the list is because based on what I researched, Openshift does more than orchestration, at least from experience point of view.

I give mine a pint of water every week or two. If it wilts I water it regardless. It's been happy in a bright room near a sunny window in the UK for 10 years. Current pot is around 10" diam and 10" high for comparison.

If ever in doubt I let it tell me - it's all about the wilting, if it starts to wilt, give it water, if it's not wilting, you can wait, if you haven't seen it wilt for a while, might as well let it dry some more to avoid root rot.
I also trim off dead flowers and leaves just to give the other leaves more light but I don't think that matters.

Ugh that sucks. Speaking for myself there have been hiccups but for the most part slack contacts move things along where I am now and you can unironically ping a leader if you are ignored. We all know we are all busy and sometimes a reminder of priorities is helpful :)
Don't advertisers assess their return on investment, if there are more clicks coming from facebook but less purchases, surely that should set off some alarm bells and loose facebook customers?

I don't know how they define the term, so I'm looking for examples. I don't know of any popular rock or rap musicians that are openly white supremacist.
As a film major, you give 90s live audience sitcom cinematography too much credit. From a cinematography standpoint directing something like Seinfeld is quite standard. They don't even move the cameras and lights between episodes. The operators are instructed to keep whoever is speaking in the frame. I love Seinfeld to death, but this is no Citizen Kane. We're here for the performances, not for the camera work. Settle down a bit.

Surely they have some offices? As a small company that has no offices, I actually run into problems at times because we don't have an official office address. For example, some financial and other types of companies want things like a copy of an office lease or a utility bill in the name of the company.
When something is unsound it is valuable to point it out. It prevents harm.
100% agree depending on company size. For startups training and enablement is wildly chaotic. That said I have tried a lot of strategies in the past year and none yet match insitu learning but again this is likely a startup problem, we started with almost nothing in terms of onboarding so it’s hard to stand up that program remotely too. I’ve had plenty of folks who are successful onboarding remotely but as a manager who has run this team for seven years I can tell it’s not as fast as before. Obviously change and innovation is needed but there not a lot of source material out there for such a change yet :) working on doing my part for my team though.

Society itself is built on gossip and bullshit, if you think about it. Ability to gossip and make up bullshit is the main thing which enables large groups of people to work as a semi-coherent whole. All of the social constructs we participate in are little more than blind faith. Lawyers are basically priests, legalese is the prayer, and the laws are the Bible. Those who sin (go against the law) or reject the society entirely are severely punished. And so on and so forth. This is not a novel idea, there are books written about it.

Which is to say that just because it's bullshit doesn't make it any less valid, yet bullshit is typically much harder to model as it lacks the internal logic that a non-bullshit system would have. It's full of contradictions and non-sequiturs. This could explain why economists (and especially Paul Krugman) are so consistently wrong about everything.

Not the military, that's what the State Department is for. Or the UN.

Edit: Ok maybe not what it's for, but the State Department is a better fit. Nobody is ever going to trust a foreign military to do anything good in their country.
100% agree that water cooler talk being effective in the first place should raise some eyebrows about how things get done. I think there is a strong social component that doesn’t want that to change, but not much choice these days.
That is very impressive level of detail though it pushes the boundary of "clean" and gets too "real" (and depending on what you are looking for, that may be a good thing). Thanks for sharing.

Who wants to take on U-Haul?
Maybe I'm missing it, but I haven't seen a viable competitor to U-Haul and I think they're ripe for... wait for it... disruption. This new version should be focused on amazing customer service, high tech, and high design. I know it's an insanely hard business, but this world is full of smart people. Who wants to build this with me?
There is a much easier theory. Democracy converges to an acceptable situation really quickly, then sits there.

If people are happy with the status quo, and it turns out that they were wrong about the nature of that status quo ... that still isn't necessarily a reason to do anything.

3D modeling with a GUI on 128k of RAM (or maybe it required 512k). People were undaunted by computational restraints!
My point is that even if it fails in a predictable way in test scenarios, it won't necessarily in real life. The paper & test framework are effectively going to trick people into trusting that the thing will work well, rather than going by actual observations of how it works in varied production environments. For the casual observer, who cares? But for the people about to spend millions of dollars on this tech to run it in production, I hope they aren't swayed purely by theoreticals.

Remember a decade ago when NoSQL came out, and everybody was hooping and hollering about how amazing the concept was, and people like me would go "Well, wait a minute, how well does it actually run in production?" And people on HN would shout us down because the cool new toy is always awesome. And lo and behold, most NoSQL databases are no better in production than Postgres, if not a tire fire. People who have fought these fires before can smell the smoke miles away.
Kenchi | San Francisco / Remote (North American Timezones) | https://kenchi.com/jobs

Brian and Michael here! We're 2 ex-Stripe engineers (and previously Facebook and YC). We started and helped scale Stripe's support team from just a few people in Gmail to their current size. Now we're bringing those lessons and tools to other startups. We have customers with hundreds of people each scaling their teams with Kenchi. Kenchi is about human-in-the-loop automation, currently targeting support teams. We sit inside your browser to provide a privacy-first approach to team members automating aspects of their work in any environment they sit in. We need to be snappy, resilient to running in different JS environments, and smart about how we tie into different pages to extract information in a robust and resilient way.

We're looking for full-stack devs and designers to join our team of (currently) 3. Founder-types who want to wear many hats, are curious about the innards of different frameworks, and love working across many parts of the system will thrive.

Shoot us an email at jobs@kenchi.com to say hi! We'd love to hear about something you've worked on before of which you're most proud. Talk soon :)

I don't understand why you would reply with this comment. If the question is "how do I do X?" and X isn't something that you should be doing, why is it not constructive to point that out?
The big thing that graph dbs provide is transitive traversals of join relationships.

The problem with graph dbs is trying to return something that is not a graph. Like a count. Or derived information. And which graph model do you use? There’s more than one. Lots of information is very poorly modeled in graph dbs. Temporal organization, for example.

Ultimately, graphs are a way to use relations. But relations allow you much more flexibility to associate information (subject to the issue of transitive relationship traversal).

Mixed graph-relational is perfectly reasonable. Reasonable start here: [https://age.apache.org/]

I named a character in an unpublished novel after Ravna. It was hard coming up with justification for her name, though; last I looked (a long time ago) there was just Vinge and part of the hyphenated name of a European hotel. I decided her parents called her that because she was conceived there, a la Ron Howard and his kids.
