Investor sues Ozy Media for fraud over founder's fake call
I assume it's a reference to a James Mattis quote.

> Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

It refers to a general concept of alertness and awareness about your surroundings, and how you can't tell who might be good or evil until they act, so just assume everyone could be malicious until proven otherwise (or, more practically, until you're out of their sphere of influence).
I’m responding to “but I have no idea if any of them are currently attempting Q_total > 1 or not.” My point is that literally nobody is going to set their target on Q-total > 1 without first setting a target of Q-plasma > 1. It would be like wondering if a rocket company was setting their sights on landing on the moon straight away or if they were going to attempt to escape earth’s atmosphere first.

Edit: one might think Q-plasma > 1 is just an internal milestone, not a public goal, but it’s not. Fusion startups are all going to be forced to make a public fuss over Q-plasma > 1 because the amount of funding you need to get from there to Q-total > 1 is MASSIVE and that milestone will be an investor aphrodisiac.
Be careful. You are still on the hook. And in many cases companies will sell you debt to collection agencies.
How would you tell the difference between a book that has your life story in it and a similar book with inaccuracies in all the details you don't remember?
yw. The temptation makes sense to me. I know a lot of people who have done something similar.

I remember one who was a top salesman at a solar company, but totally burnt out. He had four custom houses in locations around the world; he sold them all & narrowed down his possessions into a single carry-on. Broke up with his GF and poof, his new interim life had started.

He jumped around to a few different positions (f-u-style) before eventually re-anchoring.

In a lot of cases this is something like a personal transformation process, as well, or can be described as such...
In EP 47 of Darknet Diaries the author cites an interview in which they said to have an ethics board which makes such decisions based on a variety of factors. They might find a country having issues with corruption, but still would like to help them catch them so called terrorists.
> Also, gross revenue from sale of personal data is straightforward to measure and verify: How much did you get paid for the data?

I really wouldn't say that it's straightforward at all. How much money would you guess Google (or any AdTech firm) "makes" under that definition in Ohio? I would bet you the farm that it's actually $0, because they're not selling data, they're selling ad space ("retargeting").
This seems pretty fluffy. I read through the "Legal Handbook" and it doesn't seem as much like a handbook as it does a long article about what it's like to be a whistleblower, along with some very high level stuff about what it's like to engage a lawyer.

Like, a really basic thing here is that the legal advice starts by asking people to evaluate whether the misconduct they're thinking about violates laws. But it provides little guidance on what those laws might be. Obviously, they'd say that the first step here is to retain counsel. But that's an expensive and difficult first step, and more workers will need to qualify what they're observing carefully before taking that step.

Did anyone else read this more closely and reach a different conclusion?

The security stuff seems especially weak. Like, basic things you'd want to see headlined are the types of corpsec measures that large tech companies have deployed to trace leaks, and what they're likely to find if they image all the devices your contract with them allows them to image.

A much more fundamental problem I have with this "handbook" is that it seems geared towards getting people to leak things to the press and regulators. But that's not the limit of what tech workers can do to respond; a simple thing that the handbook doesn't talk much about is "when to quit", let alone when and how to engage in concerted action with other team members, and what the risks/benefits of that are.
Eh, it’s pretty easy to hide things behind a feature flag during the review process.

So the case for this practice is that Apple is the only corporation that can be trusted with billing - consumers are just being protected from all those evil corporations that aren’t Apple. Seems like a straw man.

I understand the distinction between simple and easy. Digging a pool in your back yard is simple. It's not easy. (The author is incorrect about running marathons. Running a marathon is complex.)

> I think fundamentally the problem of loosing weight is not particularly complex.

My point is that any definition of "fundamental" in this sentence that discards the essential humanity and cultural context of the person losing weight ends up with a "problem" that is in no meaningful, actionable way based in reality.

The fact that it is a real living breathing human who has a life and a day job who is trying to lose weight is essential complexity.

Arguing otherwise is akin to saying that putting an astronaut on the moon is simple: just fire a ballistic missile at it. Oh, what, the astronaut needs oxygen, hydration, and can only handle a certain amount of acceleration before turning into a reddish paste? Well, that's just "artificial" complexity and it's their fault for having a body that is so poorly engineered.
I tested this quite recently actually. I typed my Facebook password to login with all sorts of mistakes, although the core part of it remains the same, with some minor changes (all caps, a capital letter, an extra character, etc). In all cases the passwords were accepted.

Which leads me to think that Facebook passwords might just be stored as searchable text rather than hashes. Granted I'm no cryptography expert though.

People at the top of the pay scale are being paid an obscene amount of money for similar quality work that goes unpaid in many cases. From that they can hire teams of others to push their brand further. In order to compete, others need to go into debt just to be able to keep up.

In order to admit that the highest paid streamers fairly made it to their current levels of obscene payment, it would be a lot more believable if there wasn't such a huge disparity in pay (from my perspective).

I work with analytics, and understand them well. Twitch creates their own non-transparent algorithm that evaluates metrics and determines pay for contributors based on those factors. Twitch is in complete control over the rules for who gets paid and how much they are paid.

In a fair creator economy yes, some would get rich and some would go unpaid, but the gap would not be that huge.

Technically most of the contributing creators should be paid and promoted by the platform equally, and accurate metrics would determine who stays on top, but these days creators are not treated equally based on the data I've seen thus far. The inequality reflects on our current societal problems as well.

The gap between top and bottom creators is massive based on data from Twitch, tons of people are technically working for free over many years in hopes of being discovered.

The level of labor and efforts in being a platform user and a creator are very high, the problem is when success is only an illusion. Even as an unpaid creator, if the platform only promotes it's top creators, their profits surge while no one off the radar gets discovered, and thus the unequal profit cycle is upheld without anyone knowing the truth of skewed reality.

Algorithms frequently reflect bias on all social media now because they are developed by companies and people that often have bias (towards making profit, or for political purposes, etc.).

Even very talented creators don't stand a chance of being recognized or paid for their work because of that bias that drives profit on massive social media platforms because they are too often profit-driven machines.
It's simple. Don't offer account deletion. You comply with both in that case.
> I don't really get this. My phone number is apparently already known by every scammer and spammer on earth, which is why I never answer calls from people I don't know, so what am I losing?

The only scammers who know my number are my phone-provider and my mom. Other scammers either never call me, or just don't know the number. Protecting your number is possible.

> Meanwhile, Twitch has had a significant bot spamming problem.

Which can be solved without this. The bot-problem is more about people not using the existing tools well and twitch sucking in their handling. Adding another features they won't use will not make anything better. Especially as the phone-number only rises the bar for bots.
Having known that crowd back then, the message was the problem. Everything is pay per view in Xanadu. Wrong business model. They were mostly libertarians, of the "meter everything and let the free market sort it out" persuasion.

Also, they were way too text oriented.

I mean, once anything is published online, it can never be edited because you link to "start character"-"end character" integer positions as the supposedly immutable snippet? What kind of a universe does that online world live in???

The part of the world that has Github, shared Google Docs, and wikis. You can edit, and it's all trackable. It's a poor mass distribution system, but a reasonable approach to collaboration.
Fully agree, HN is absolutely not the place to get insight on population-level experiences with tech (or most anything else population-level; my pet peeve is people generalizing their education experiences). These population-level problems are far better understood by a process of deduction and looking at what the data says.

Why not just allow web installs without the app store?

You can report frauds against an app's signature, and centralized command and control can disable apps that attempt to harm users. (With opt-out if you care.)
That makes sense to me. Are you saying you're not IO limited usually though?

Some kinds of database workloads would run more efficiently on the local NVMe storage. But that does come with lots of operational considerations.
The Globe and Mail operates similarly. I spent some time while cancelling a few years ago informing them that making me call them to cancel is a crime in California. The person on the line cancelling my account was genuinely surprised.

Disclaimer: I'm the developer of FlickType and have been advocating for this change for months now, after being severely affected by scam competitors on the App Store. I have also filed a lawsuit against Apple, partly because of this.

This is a welcome change, but what’s most important is what Apple actually does with the reports - which I’m definitely going to be keeping a close eye on.

Of note, this “New” Report-a-Problem button is not actually new: it used to be there but Apple decided to remove it years ago, while App Store scams were - and still are - running rampant: https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/06/with-return-of-report-a-pr...

For me, this is a lesson in the power of semantics. If one re-writes the if statement and switches the order,

if A[j] > A[i] then

I find the correctness of the algorithm to be significantly more obvious.

It is true that i >= j, and sorted ascending values will have the property A[i] >= A[j].

It follows that swapping happens when the values are out of order, when

A[j] > A[i]

That's a funny standard, and not that I disagree--quite the contrary--but once you get an undergrad in engineering you're an engineer right? Sure, there is an expectation to pass the FE exam but is being employed as an engineer a requirement to "be an engineer"?

> Most of their policies are ones CONSUMERS have liked but BUSINESSES have hated.

I'd agree here, the majority of the policies are likable by consumers.

> The litigation / cases / govt intervention has been on behalf of businesses not consumers.

Consumers don't have millions to throw around on litigation against Apple so it's no surprise the litigation is focused around business cases. On the government intervention side I disagree though, of the very little intervention there has been it has been consumer focused IMO.

In either case there is also some overlap of "business interest" and "consumer interest" even if the vast majority of the time there isn't so blanketing that all litigation has been on behalf of businesses does not imply all litigation is about policies not in consumer interest. And I think the courts have been very conservative on which points are actually acted upon even if there is a bit of a "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" approach to many of the cases.

> A lot of the newspapers make it easy to sign up, but then you have to call to cancel, the same papers that go on and on about how terrible the app store is. There is a REASON people spend fortunes, particularly in the apple app store - it's damn safe to do so in most cases.

If people are truly buying Apple devices because they only want to purchase things from the controlled app store then the availability of alternative app stores wouldn't be a concern, they would simply go unused. The truth is most people don't actually buy the devices for this reason which is why Apple is so afraid to give that singular point of control up.

> If you had some behemoth with 32TB ram and 1PB storage could all of motion fit?

Postgres has a bunch of low level locks and buffers (protected by locks) which are essentially single threaded. So even if you had a 500 CPU instance at some point you'd not be able to get more throughput out of it.

Of course it also depends on what you are doing. Large tables with high update rate are harder to handle than large tables which are insert only. My personal opinion is that Postgres tables with >100GB data (without indexes) are a starting to be a pain to work with, no matter how much RAM, CPU or IOPS you have.
