Are you talking about hiring a remote team and managing them? The answer may very well be yes for organizations that don't know how to properly communicate and utilize tools and methods to manage them. There is an entire middle management class in Silicon Valley that exists to manage engineers in person. Their day consists of many meetings, meetings with their team, cross-functional teams, visiting you and your co-workers in your office/cube and managing your work flow. Their work is not without value. This model has produced most of the software and hardware that we use daily. When you introduce remote teams, you introduce a type of friction that does not work with this model. All of sudden managers are not able to call an in-person meeting. They have to get up early or stay up late to coordinate. There is a perception that the remote team is slow, or not responsive. I have been in meetings at Apple where Steve would excoriate teams in France for not moving as fast as he wanted. This was not the case, but he could not micro-manage them in person.

The future is going to belong to companies that can master processes and technologies to coordinate teams across time zones, languages and countries. Warehousing employees in Mountain View, Cupertino, South Lake Union, Manhattan, Frankfurt, etc. seems ridiculous once you begin to understand how to co-ordinate dispersed teams. There is value in having teams work together and I like working in person with other people. The whole company town aspect of Apple/Facebook/Google/Oracle/etc. campus' seems so bizarre to me however. I just can't understand the benefit given the toll on the lives of the workers.
You're misunderstanding the quote, from what another HN commenter said (in a way that makes sense to me). Whether it includes everything necessary to state a cause of action or is at all legally critical to the complaint is not a relevant consideration when lawyers are talking to the court of public opinion rather than to the court of law, as in this quite.

The espionage is something Twitter was unaware of, as was the status of the spies at Twitter. Nobody is saying that Twitter committed espionage. But if they knew that the employees were doing or enabling something severely shady (without knowing specifics) in a way that they should have investigated or mitigated more than they did, but chose not to investigate or mitigate for an inappropriate reason like wanting good commercial outcomes from Saudi Arabia, they're choosing to be negligent in stopping the thing from happening. This is easily described in a press statement as complicity in something, even if they didn't know the something is espionage. In other words they negligently facilitated a bad thing that to their surprise turned out to be espionage.

So if I understand how this quote fits into the allegations: according to the plaintiff, the plaintiff was a victim of the espionage by the spies and not by Twitter, but Twitter's negligence enabled the espionage and they should have known something wrong was facilitated by their choices, therefore Twitter indirectly contributed to the espionage against plaintiff without having committed espionage themselves. Since Twitter made the situation worse and met the bar of negligence regardless of knowing that the specifics involved espionage, they allegedly should be liable. (I am not citing laws here because, again, I have not read the complaint and don't know the specific relevant laws.)

So, yes, it's based on the espionage incident, and yes Twitter was probably a victim of the espionage as well. But the plaintiff's argument doesn't depend on Twitter's status as victim of the espionage.

I've already stayed up far later than I should tonight to reply to lots of rapid-fire text from you, so this is my last one for now and hopefully for this subthread at all. Good night and be well.
I don't think this is GotG.

GotG arguments rely on gaps in scientific knowledge as evidence of the existence of the numinous.

This argument isn't about gaps in scientific knowledge. It's about gaps in scientific knowability. The argument is Godelian in nature.

The set of natural laws is a logical axiomatic system. It cannot be both consistent and complete. Therefore, either the scientific method is fundamentally unreliable for determining the truth, or there are true propositions about reality that cannot be proven within the axiomatic system of the natural laws. In short, unless the natural sciences are inherently bunk, it's a logical necessity that there exists something outside their scope, literally super-natural.

It's an imperfect analogy but I always come back to the idea of CPU privilege rings. We run up against a hard limit of what is observable/provable - a privilege boundary, if you will. That suggests we are in Ring > 0, and therefore there is something in Ring 0.

What's in Ring 0? Nobody knows. Whatever it is, we call it God.
I think I misunderstood, but my main idea might still stand. Some companies treat vacation and sick days as the same thing, and put them in the same bucket called PTO. Some companies separate them. I'm not sure what Southwest does. If Southwest separates them, then labster's quote could be true while simultaneously a lot of employees are out on vacation days due to wanting to use them up before quitting.
IMHO, Mainly it made people realize how bad the status quo is all over the world. It's a global hit for a reason.
Typically it falls to an account recovery flow, which would be expected to be as strong or stronger than the account creation flow. Obviously sites implement account recovery wrong all the time though.

Some systems like Google Advanced Protection Program specifically don't really have alternate means of authentication or a recovery flow.

If you register multiple authenticators, you can do a break-the-glass/open-the-safe recovery, but this assumes you remembered to register all authenticators to all sites.

There is a proposal to support backup keys via what might be referred to a cryptographic introduction. My primary key can include additional cryptographic data, and if I lose my primary key my backup key can prove that it was the key that was previously mentioned.

There is a tech preview by Apple for PassKeys, which is a WebAuthn authenticator which isn't represented by a single piece of hardware but across all the hardware on your Apple account. This reduces the need (or I suppose, increases the trauma) needed to get to an account recovery event.

"World domination, one step at a time"
This feels like one of those obvious-in-hindsight things. Of course an unshielded conductor would radiate RF correlating with the signal it carries, and if you could pick up the radiated RF, and knew the modulation scheme and how do decode it, you could see what was on the wire.

I do find myself wondering some things though.

Ethernet cables are 4 differential pairs. As I understand, the whole idea of these twisted pairs carrying a differential signal is that any RF the cable picked up from the environment would be common-mode, and get cancelled out receiver side, allowing the transmitted signal to arrive unspoiled. So, in theory, one would have a hard time injecting spurious transmissions into an Ethernet cable via RF.

Is this supposed to work in reverse, where the common-mode rejection of a differential pair would prevent RF from leaking out of the cable? Or is this one of those theory vs. practice things, where in theory, it shouldn't, but in practice, being a not-ideal twisted differential pair (e.g. twist rate is wrong for frequency of interest, untwisted section, conductors of slightly different lengths, etc) allows some RF emission to leak out, uncancelled. And in the case of a cheap cable, something claiming to be Cat 6A in actuality might never have passed spec for Cat 5, and thus leaks way more RF than it should, because the quality and balance of the twist was half-assed?

Or am I badly misunderstanding how this works because I haven't started studying for an amateur radio license yet?
Thanks for the correction :)

Yep. It is explicit propaganda to try to keep people from resisting their attempts to guarantee permanent minority rule.
Services (App store, Music, TV, ...) accounted for 21% of revenue last quarter. The rest is hardware. App store is some fraction of that 17 billion services revenue. Hardware was 64 billion. So yes they could make billions in services, but it pales in comparison to their hardware revenue. Also, services revenue doesn't happen without selling a huge amount of hardware first, and building the ecosystem, ... All of that had to happen for years before services revenue started to become significant.

Hi Andy,

If I may, can you please shed light on why Peloton had to be archived and in essence re-done with OtterTune. Interested in your team's learnings from it from a software engineering point of view.

Some additional Qs:

- How did the team ensure this project doesn't suffer from the same disadvantages as its predecessor?

- What would you advise other teams undertaking a rewrite to pay off their tech debts?

How does this project compare to / contrast with Google's and SingleStore's efforts in this space?

Any chance we see you do a Peter Bailis and Sisu Data this? (:

Thanks.
There's nothing unusual about private parties being able to assess penalties against other private parties. Your bank does it all the time. It does not make a mockery of the justice system.

The justice system frequently does make a mockery of the justice system by assessing penalties, such as when someone is arrested, proves to have been someone other than the target, and then gets charged for the time they spent in jail.

If a failed frivolous lawsuit against Twitter automatically gave Twitter a claim on the plaintiff's assets, that would in fact not violate every tenet of the western justice system, nor would it violate all principles of natural justice. It is a system that has obtained elsewhere and that people frequently advocate for.

Even several decades when I was a technician most of the new EEs where I worked had very little practical experience. It was worse than them not being able to do basic repairs; their wonderful designs would usually not work and they were unable to figure out why.
> I think it's fairly clear that Amazon and Ebay would show up as the top organic results.

> What wouldn't show up is lmm-cookware.com, launched early October 2021, who is trying to establish themselves as a new destination for cooking enthusiasts.

If a new site is what users are probably looking for, then it should be top of the organic results. Google and other search engines already use signals like when the site was updated, whether it has a social media "buzz", or what price it's selling something at. It's highly unlikely that spending advertising money is a good signal; yes, promising new companies do spend advertising money, but so do established companies and out-and-out scammers.

Helping the user discover new sites is maybe part of what a search engine should be doing. But mixing ads into the search results is too intrusive and anti-user a way to achieve that (if it even does). Maybe there's a time and a place for advertising, but it should be clearly separated from organic results; Google used to be good at that (indeed they were famous for having advertising that was less intrusive than their competitors), but they've been getting steadily worse.
That’s the big problem. It’s absolutely insane that tech companies can’t keep foreign nationals and people with foreign ties from sensitive positions.
Here’s an example in each direction.

In this first example, ASI inserts an undesired semicolon:

return
{a: 0}

This returns undefined, and doesn’t continue on to execute the block containing a statement 0 with label a. (Change it to {a: 0, b: 0} and you get a syntax error because of this reinterpretation of what was intended as an object literal.)

In this second example, ASI doesn’t insert a desired semicolon:

f()
[].forEach.call(…)

This becomes a syntax error, because the [] has become subscripting rather than an array literal. (Incidentally, [].forEach is smelly anyway; prefer Array.prototype.forEach, maybe assign that to a constant if you’re doing it much.)
Note my use of the word “egregious.” Thank you.

The egregious liars have no desire to change their views. They desire to misinform and distract you, to waste your energies, to obfuscate truthful and valuable discussion. They are poison to informed discussion.
For context, the example from the Serde wiki written in Java using Jackson

public record Point(int x, int y) {}

// [...]

var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
var jsonString = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new Point(2,1));

It isn't obvious to me what advantage Serde offers that you couldn't get with Jackson or other similar libraries in Java (although I get that Java and Rust are different languages, and that there may not be something this ergonomic in the likes of C++)

> If you formally have residence in the state you are schooling in, you are required to have that state's driver's license.

If you want to drive in that state. Seems odd to require a drivers license to vote if you live on a college campus where everything is in walking distance.
Yep. I've only done so once, well my brother did the shooting whilst I held the rabbit down then helped prep to skin them.

Meeting the meat was also a reference to the Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy; there, the meat would kill itself. It forced the attendants higher up in the food chain to be confronted by the reality of the situation, rather than having the slice of meat simply something you get at the supermarkets in a packet.

In all seriousness, by reducing the amount of meat eaten you can avoid the worst meat factories with their horrible conditions for the animals.

I believe organic farming is far more ethical, and better for the planet as well (methane emissions) as for the consumers who are likely to be overweight.
the airframe was fine. the problem was that mcas was implemented in a totally shitty way. If it had just replied on 3 sensors instead of 1, wet likely wouldn't be talking about it now.
By definition, it simply means that consciousness is not what it appears to be. It doesn’t, however, imply that consciousness does not exist.

There's no such crime. If you disagree, by all means cite a statute.

I'm intimately familiar with http. Upon issuing a request for your records (the request, GET or otherwise), you receive a response, pushed to you, with records you did not request.

I think you may want to re-read my comment, this time more carefully and thoughtfully.
Ask HN: Gaal Dornick counting primes in Foundation TV series
I haven't read foundation in decades. Did Gaal have this prime counting habit in the books too? I used to count primes many many years ago but I couldn't after a while. Then I'd simply add the digits of any number I see to check if its a prime. I was very disappointed that I couldn't keep up the recitation game with large primes.

Watching the series, I wonder if I picked up the game from the foundation books. I honestly can't recall now. She goes up to 80 something million in the TV series!
There is always going to be some leakage. The question is whether you can get a high enough signal to noise ratio to get any useful information about it.

What this guy is doing is what he always does: deliberately modulate the signal (in this case, sending packets slowly) at a very low rate and encoding information in that. Of course that works; it always does. It's not news and it has no research value. It's obvious that you can take any system that produces measurable emissions and then drive it in such a way to encode low-bandwidth data in those emissions.

It would be nice if he actually studied practical channel bandwidths and determined just how much information you can transmit with these techniques, but he doesn't have the chops for that. He just cranks out minimum viable PoCs to get the news cycle, using misleading clickbait headlines.

> In math there is the concept of having a first element...

There is also the mathematical concept of not having a first element of a sequence, where each element has an infinite number of elements indexed before it.

You seem to be arguing that the existence of a mathematical concept implies that the universe must follow it. In this case, you have one concept that implies a first element and another that implies no first element. They can’t both be true.

Lot's of people can get rich from their salary alone. I know many Silicon Valley workers who chose to live more frugally, invest in properties like duplexes, town homes, etc. and then rent and improve them and increase their net worth that way. When I was at Apple, they would do a 100% 401k match. Is being really rich at 65 good enough for you? That is one way to do it.

Rich is relative, right? How rich is rich enough? Spending seems to find a way to consume the income of a lot of people. There is always a nicer BMW/Audi/Tesla/Mercedes to buy. You can spend $300 on a pair of jeans. Spend a few hours at Neiman Marcus in Palo Alto and look at the prices. You can buy better and better seats at the ballet, symphony, baseball game. Business and first class plane tickets become mandatory. Look at the watches people wear. This is what happens as your income increases. There is always a way to spend and consume more and you will find a way to justify it. Believe me, I know.

That's not true, at least in Michigan. A driver's license or state ID card is acceptable ID, and it does not provide proof of citizenship.

Calgary is very much a city where people would come from all over to make money because there was lots of work available, high salaries for unskilled people and even higher salaries for skilled.

I moved here in 2017 and frankly it's shocking how much different the city is now from the stories people tell me what it was before.

It's shocking the number of layoffs I have heard about since I moved here. I'm surprised the city hasn't seen a massive exodus of people unable to find work.
In the paper the team reports roughly 50-80% estimated mechanical efficiency, 92% conversion of CO2 by mass in a 27cm / 330ml column, and ~230kw*hr/ton of CO2 energy input.

They used 6%-20% CO2 mixtures with balance nitrogen and some water to try and approximate different exhausts including flue gas.

This seems like a groundbreaking achievement. The only thing that wasn’t clear to me was the size of reactor they expect to be required to achieve meaningful throughput, and the amount of HCl replenishment required, if any, to maintain catalytic performance.

This paper gives me a lot of hope.
Odd to see my hometown here on HN, though many HNers are from here. Calgary has some unique issues -- the major ones being that the politics of the province are brutally toxic and this has halted and even reversed a lot of gains we made in the last decade trying to turn it around.

Oil and gas dying is part of the problem, but ask many new grads from local universities why they are leaving and the answer is mainly that this is just not the place for them. That's a terrible sign for the future.

The comment by julianlam elsewhere in this thread reminded me of a time I toured a local startup's office who had "reclaimed" an executive level of a previous oil and gas company. The entire floor was decorated like a Roman Emperor's quarters and the boardroom table itself was worth somewhere north of $200k (possibly as much as half a millon).
