Each and every second-hand buyer in the world would block nvidia in the firewall after that. You know you need to tighten the screws when your GPU is trying to phone home.
Yeah, maybe I am missing something, but what is new or interesting about this story? In the first Fast and Furious movie they were hijacking trucks to steal DVD players and TV/VCR combinations to sell on the black/grey market. Isn't this the exact same thing except with newer tech?
the only statically typed language that’s usable with roblox is roblox-ts pretty much, and that’s just an unofficial project that compiled ts to luau. there’s nothing wrong with adding types to luau.
Hmm, TS is super fast today for me, at least in all the cases that matter for me. I rarely run a full project typecheck because I can trust my IDE to show me errors instantly.
Doing a good job - and staying where you are - doesn't get you more reward. And people generally want more than they currently have.
Why would law-abiding citizens need untraceable, anonymous cash (which is used in 99.99% of crime). This is not a good argument. There are plenty of uses for privacy beyond crime. It is the equivalence of the 'you have nothing to hide' argument, which is total authoritarian bs.

'I have nothing to share'.
> Would it just be trucks doing deliveries?

Yes

> Wouldn't they still need parking and roads?

This would still be something like today's yellow zones.

> What's gained by banning the cars if you can't reclaim the roads?

There would be far fewer lanes for the remaining trucks on avenues, and non-avenues could pedestrianized with trucks only allowed to enter if they need to access something on that block.
Where else could you efficiently move product like this? I mean you can move it on amazon eBay etc but the serial Numbers would pop up on registration. Perhaps it’s not a big enough crime that police will investigate but if it is it would be too hot
GoDaddy and Dell are both excellent places to work.
For sure, which is why I said there were other ways to understanding.

A lot of my education here has come from people just talking about their daily lives on social media and in person. Many years ago I ended up going from having a pony tail to shaving my head. I was telling a group of friends that it was weird how differently people treated me. E.g., seeing people cross the street rather than walk near me. A black member of the group said, "Well now you know."

The systems-thinking aspect of it came to me later, as I was looking for explanations for all of the little bits of data that I kept coming across. It was only then that I found the more academic takes useful.

But I think these days it's very, very hard for a white person to credibly and honestly have no understanding that there are big problems with race in the US. Which I think is why we're seeing the right-wing moral panic around "Critical Race Theory", which few can define but many are sure is such a problem that we need laws to prevent white children from learning about actual white history.
This is a giant who cares burger
Or, “incompetent” may be “sufficiently good” even in a healthy work environment where the company has a large enough profit margin.

One thing that seems to get missed by a lot of people, is that if your profit margins are 90%, that means you can screw up almost every order as long as marketing and sales can bring in enough customers.
No it isn’t. You but it, find it’s not covered, ask for a refund.
What about artwork?

UI design is for an artist, not a developer. I can build whatever someone wants with the same stack that the OP is using (Django, Postgres, Lucene-ish search db, etc), but I will freely admit to people that I suck at website design in the way that they think of website design (what it looks like). Bootstrap was made for dolts like me who don't know what buttons and forms are supposed to look like.

Is it cheating to hire an artist to design the front facing site components?
They also train in simulation, where they modify real scenarios to run through variations and edge cases. [1]

As of last year, they'd driven 15 billion miles in simulation - which is more than a typical person will drive in a million years. Still a ways to go to get to a billion though.

25 years ago one of the groups was caught, from NYT article: https://archive.md/5Qv1e

"More than 400 Silicon Valley businesses had been robbed by chip thieves in the last 18 months. The businesses range from giants like Sun Microsystems to small companies of 100 employees. The apparent record for a heist was $9.9 million worth of computer parts stolen from Centon Electronics in Irvine, Calif., in May."
> Why has none of the lives improved in these cities and they keep having gang problems?

Because the people are still poor?

> lack of school choice.

Most of the poor kids here are in charter schools.

> Fatherlessness

Agreed this is a major problem, it's mostly caused by poverty.

> corruption

Absolutely agree this is a huge problem. We tried to solve it by electing an outsider mayor, everyone hates her because she can't get anything done due to obstruction from corrupt politicians. Even if we ended corruption tomorrow, that would only move the end of poverty from many decades away to a few less decades away, not really a solution to gun violence.

> gangs

We arrested all the gang leaders. Now the gangs are just 10 dudes who went to elementary school together. Without leadership there is no one to stop them from shooting each other, it has made things quite a bit worse imo. As I said it isn't possible to just end gangs, there are always new people to fill the power vacuum.

40 acres. 16 hectares. A 400m x 400m block (equivalent). Not sure that's really enough for a city. A very small town perhaps.

The big thing here, is that it's a way for Corporations to basically not be bound by all the laws of the state. That's, concerning. For all the reasons that have been covered numerous times in scifi dystopian media.
Because as codebases in dynamic languages grow and age the developers start seeing the advantages having a static type system to lean on would give them.
Actually you can. EVGA has a step-up program that allows you to buy just about any EVGA graphics card, register it, and pick the new better card you want when it's available. I bought a 2070 about a year ago and just got an email today that my 3080 is in the mail. I had to jump through a few hoops, but nothing onerous. And I had to pay the difference in price, but it was the only way I could come up with to get a registered high-end card. As far as I know EVGA is the only company that offers this, and it's the reason I went with them instead of another.
> Not all vector spaces are equipped with an inner product.

Any vector space over a field (usually part of the definition of a vector space) is equipped with the standard inner product, because multiplication and addition are part of the definition of a field.
CPUs, and unsoldered GPUs are the most smuggled item into China, bigger than gold, cash, booze, and other valuables.

I think deficit MCUs are now joining this list. China similarly sees mass break-ins into warehouses of component distributor companies now. Some MCUs fetched up to $100 bucks from their original <$1 price at the peak of the shortage.
I'm arguing that literally any limit on cash given to poor people is a paternalistic overstep because we do not do the same for the cash we give to rich people.

The metaphor is 'Why do we tell poor people that this $1 can only be spent on certain types of food' when we don't say ' This $1 of pork barrel spending can't be used on CEO bonuses unless that CEO submits to regular drug testing.'

I don't know why this is such a hard concept? Maybe you & I just give up?
Agreed, it is very close to the mental institutions which were once more common.

I don't think people should be institutionalized for simply being homeless, addicts, or mentally ill, but if their issues are leading to unlawful behavior, we should be able to put them in a more humane prison system that includes assessment and rehabilitation.
I think you are confusing Jimmy Carter with Three Mile Island. The former favoured renewables over nuclear, but it was the latter that stopped nuclear energy development in its tracks.

I think we're at an interesting time for React routing. It seems like a ton of shops are standardizing on Next.js as a base for new projects, especially if you're building a pretty vanilla web app.

Since Next takes care of routing for you, the need for projects like this operating at huge scales is diminishing. I'm glad they still exist for teams that want/need to own the entire application stack, but there are benefits from the community standardizing too.

At my job (dev consulting agency), we're about to embark on rebuilding an in-house framework onto Next.js to take advantage of the larger community tooling and to simplify onboarding of new hires.

React Router has so far made it through 6 iterations, it wouldn't surprise me if v7 was some sort of drop-in plugin replacement within Next. It could open up some areas for more complex navigation requirements without some of the hacky workarounds you need in Next currently.

Interesting times indeed!

> If they can make self-driving cars practical, it seems likely the technology would be transferable to buses.

Manhattan barely needs buses. Rail is much better. Capital investment would be directed to more rail than self driving buses for the remainder.

> And that could reduce costs of and/or increase access to public transit.

Other place should still focus on rail over buses. Or bikes if they are really small. Buses are stop-gap on their way out unless we choose to stagnate instead (quite likely, I'm afraid).

> So even to someone who wants to purge Manhattan of cars, it still seems like it would be interesting.

My compromise is do in transit deserts in Queens and Brooklyn, but there is absolutely no reason to do it in Manhattan.

Interestingly, two decades ago, Kx's k3/kdb had support for two query languages - i.e. ANSI SQL 92 and ksql (proprietary time-series SQL).
It’ll be great if they do that, but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

Meanwhile Etherium seems extremely bubbly to me too. At first smart contracts was the only thing that made any sense to me (bitcoin struck me as goldbug nonsense early on), but over the years it seems like it’s mostly used for gambling and making tokens. Nothing that couldn’t be done more efficiently and conveniently off the chain, especially since the oracle problem always looms large over any given hypothetical use case.

At least if they go to POS it’ll be less wasteful.

Sure, a wide tent with many people that seem to be fine with an insurrection, gerrymandering and throwing democracy under the bus every possible chance given. It's not a race you're born into, it's a centralized entity you can chose to be a part of.

Show HN: We built social media comprehensive Stock News
As social media has grown, more and more stock and company news is best sourced through twitter. Most stock news outlets aren't conscious of this. We made this to address the problem I had when getting stock news. All news sources are in one feed, including social media, and once a week you get an email update on the major news and how it affected your portfolio. IE: TSLA +5%... Why? Hertz major car order. Let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions and want critical feedback.

> moral sense

This suggests a (perceived) place of moral certainty and absolutism. It seems pretty clear to me that Google is not all immoral. In fact, it isn’t hard to argue that it is mostly moral. Same goes for the military. The U.S. requires a military (in some form).

Google + DoD doesn’t strike me as a question of morality writ large. Rather, if someone is so delusional as to believe that either the U.S. shouldn’t have a military or that it’s technologists should deprive it of their talents, they really shouldn’t be at Google.
The increased cost is still less than the cheque for a small majority of taxpayers.
They don’t understand it and always present false equivalences as fact.
agree, but also point out that this argument can be expanded to essentially make all such efforts meaningless - actual security is never captured by these documents, because it is a function of the system itself, and these documents can only by definition point to some aspects of it...

> However, any signal there is not that strong and is so weak it is drowned in noise.

It's a 9x reduction relative to median vehicle and 4x vs. non-AP Teslas! I mean, go read it: https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

You're just making stuff up. That's not a weak signal at all, and you know it. The argument you should be making is that it's a confounded signal. But that requires a level of sophistication that you aren't supplying (nor is anyone else). Which is exactly why I mentioned way upthread that these digressions were so tiresome.

There's literally no data in the world that will satisfy you, just admit it. Yours is an argument from priors only, to the extent that one anecdote ("A Tesla hit me!") is enough to outweigh a report like that.
Public toilets have been provided in the past. They rapidly turned into drug stalls.
I think politics in the US is extremely risk-averse and afraid to depart from status-quo. I see no solution but to be more absolutist to drive the politics forward.

That's not relevant, though. The question is whether "there's a safe and easy way to launder expensive hardware into currency". The fact that it's expensive now doesn't conflict with the fact that it could counterfactually be even more expensive.

The Iranian situation was a result of his policy, not just some unfortunate event that randomly happened. Brzezinski is directly responsible for the “arc of crisis” foreign policy that sought to intentionally destabilize the Islamic states on the Soviet periphery.

No, but they do pick who they want to pull over, and for what reason.
Its specifically the role of politicians. In a liberal democracy we outsource some of the administration of our lives to politicians explicitly. The problem is, they have been racing to the bottom for some time (and we've let them) so there are only terrible options available. And simultaneously we've collectively expected them to make even more decisions for us. Those our society's collective fault, but it doesn't invalidate completely the idea of elective democracy.

For all it's faults, it beats the hell out of technocracy or theocracy (including "science") based administration.
That often fails. E.g., Vim has line wrap on by default so you would still see the text.
> It would be the kind of wholesale energy transformation that Western democracies — with budget constraints, political will and public opinion to consider — can only dream of.

It's interesting to me how points which for a long time were the propaganda of dictators (Mussolini made the trains run on time, it was said; I expect the British Monarchy had similar responses to American democracy), have now seeped into assumptions of in the dialog in free societies. The most cursory glance at the evidence shows that democratic governments accomplish far more - just look at the states of their countries.

The CCP / Chinese government also has budget constraints; not recognizing them isn't an advantage. Public opinion is a good thing; it's the foundation of democracy; it ensures the government doesn't build glorious monuments to itself which practically have very low ROI; it's government by the people and for the people. Having to find solutions that meet the approval of a wide segment of the public is a system that delivers to that public, rather than to some self-important elite. (Yes, democracy is imperfect.)

Lifestyle of doing heroin while homeless? Is that a thing?
I've had a pretty excellent time at Netflix myself.

The business model is refreshingly simple: people pay to watch shows they'll enjoy. As a result, our work is pretty aligned with our customers. No annoying ads, no selling data, no focusing on whales, no anti-consumer dark patterns (or at least not many).

And Reed is an excellent CEO, imo. He's tried his best to build a culture that treats everyone as human and intelligent - minimal red tape, lots of flexibility, wide transparency with data & strategy, very focused business, and he even encourages middle management to cut down on big meetings.

Lastly, it's nice to work at a place where you can count on everyone to be competent. It's expensive to pay well and not hire juniors, and it can also mean that 'senior' employees end up doing 'junior' work, but it also means that your colleagues are usually solid, which is nice.

Not to say everything is perfect, but overall I've been satisfied with Netflix. I still might leave for another company someday, but if I do, it will because that other company is also great, not because Netflix is sucky to work for.

I like the use of 'never' over just 'undefined'; really drives home that not only is it not there, but it shouldn't exist at all in that case.

I'm trying to think of a reason why the compiler couldn't allow that destructuring, implicitly type the values missing in some components of the union as 'T | ... | never', then lean on the control flow analysis it looks like we're getting in 4.6 to specify the type as the discriminated union is de-discriminated (lol). JS itself does allow the destructuring of elements missing from an object, they come out as undefined, so I don't believe there'd be any underlying issues.

Hopefully we see it in 4.7!
I disagree.

soc2 forced us to yubikeys everywhere; getting serious about knowing, auditing, and controlling access; etc. There def were useless bits (contingency plans? If an earthquake hits sfo bad we're screwed, you're screwed, etc)). But on the whole, I think it made us a more secure company.

Lots of it is basically best practices. Have, test, and document db backups. Have, test, and document a network diagram. Audit employee offboarding. Don't let all employees trivially touch prod. Put admin tools behind a vpn. Automate approvals and deploys (we did it all with aws tooling) so that you can audit deploy -> git sha -> [PR approval in github, ticket in jira]

Lots of this is probably dependent on your auditor though.

Also, it's a slow lead time to get, and the upper midmarket / lower enterprise demand it.

edit: bluntly, it also gave me some justification to slide things through when junior eng complained they couldn't touch the prod db.
North America is literally the best market for this, we have the most robust and efficient mining market and supply routes. One level of efficiency is that large scale mining operations allow for space leases and profit sharing at their data centers. If you wanted to fire off a message saying “I have a bunch of GPUs” they will give you a quote about their terms.

Several of these companies are publicly traded its really not that hard to get done.

Once you move past the Internet forums debating the existence of this market, try actually research this market its very fast paced and robust.

I do realize I'm one of the lucky few.
It's rare to see a comment on HN that misunderstands basic distributed systems concepts. MapReduce the paper has nothing to do with a database. You're likely conflating the fact that to achieve fault tolerant distributed computation, hadoop and hadoop like systems use a database like filesystem.

However, no one is looking at Map Reduce type jobs as a replacement for a database and vice versa. That's like saying "wow linkedin made kafka why do we need a webserver too". Those two technologies are only related in the loosest sense.
