> Apple came and filed a Joinder in Motion and sent expensive lawyers to lie to the judge about the judge's power to subpoena digital evidence.

If a lawyer makes an argument in court about the law governing a case (as opposed to the facts of the case), and the judge accepts the argument, and the judge's decision survives all its appeals, then the lawyer's argument is, by definition, true.

EDIT: I'm objecting here to the characterization of the lawyers' arguments as "lying". The judge's "power" to suboena digital evidence sounds like a question of interpretation of the law. Many (all?) US court cases have at least one question of law in which the parties make opposing arguments. One party prevails, the other does not, or maybe one party prevails on some points and the other prevails on other points. But however those questions are ultimately decided, that's the law, as it pertains to that case. In that context, it seems very strange to characterize either party as "lying" in such arguments.

If, on the other hand, "the judge's power to subpoena digital evidence" really means Apple's technical ability to produce such evidence, then I would agree that those are facts about which some statements could be considered truthful or not.

it's a risk for certain fish and if you defrost the fish in the fridge for days... but as it stands botulism is not a very common thing to worry about in modern society. there are about 200 poisonings per year in the us. a lot are junkies using shared and dirty needles... babies eating honey is another large one. maybe about 20-50 per year in the us is an adult getting food borne botulism.

in any event yes it is risky to defrost the fish in a vacuum sealed bag but only if you thaw it for a few days or more like that. 50F fridge is about 2 days and 45F fridge is a few more days before there is growth: https://www.riskyornot.co/episodes/34-thawing-frozen-fish-in...

Fwiw i just thaw it the day i use it in cold water for < 1hr and it's almost certainly fine to use that day.
Lots of reasons:

1) No need for 3.7GB of node_modules to crank out a simple site

2) Single solution, easier to bring on junior developers and reason about application logic

3) Caching much easier, too many people think they need real-time push when NRT-polling + caching is far easier and more performant

Broadly speaking it's often a case of YAGNI. The JS ecosystem really does still suck for its complexity, I remember that every time I ramp up a new developer onto a React project. It's smoothed out with tooling but the litany of JSON configuration files and the mess created by hot-reload + proxying + microservices etc etc. Often just YAGNI.

People today don't remember the VB6 IDE days where you could slap a button on a Form, write a line of code for a MessageBox, and smash that play button with zero effort. JS development is often about working your way through a tangled spider-web of helper utilities and config files and JS modules at which point when it finally works you're afraid to rev anything.
Pretty sure this is the mothership for all that. (huge PDF)

> Also I don't understand how you think courses were well explained. Where did you study? I never thought anything was explained much at all, lectures were mostly a summary of major ideas, with a lot of glossing over the details by professors who were long past the point where it mattered how well they understood the stuff.

My point is that to me they were well explained. To most others they are not, but that wasn't what we were discussing. A guy above said that nature is completely dwarfed by nature even today. I disagree with that. A bottom 10% kid with respect to nurture can still get great results if their nature just is good enough.

Most of my professors in college called me a genius. I got some research projects after my first year, but I didn't have any work ethics so I didn't do anything with it, I mostly just sat there and didn't do anything just like how I spend most of my time in class. I solved the original problem quickly, but all time after that was just sitting. I know I am not normal, I just want to say that people like me exists, and I get angry when others argue that people like me doesn't exist, that we just fake it or are privileged etc. It is just nonsense and it irritates me a lot.

I'm a total mental wreck, I could barely do anything, arguing that the reason I did so much better at math than median persons was because I worked hard, got tutoring, had a better home environment, had better focus etc, all of that is just nonsense. I'm a bit better today, there is no way I could even hold a job back then as just sitting and not doing shit doesn't fly at work, but I still lived through all that shit.
Well, i usually read HN on my mobile with Materialistic. It is one of the apps i use the most often.
I wonder if they'll sneak back on Insta after all the negative PR about facebook has died down.

Facebook probably doesn't drive sales but I think Insta is huge in the beauty industry.

Lush tries to position themselves as a very high end bougie brand so this move imo is more indicative of negative smoke signals for Facebook PR than anything. ie it's a branding play by Lush- we're so fancy we're not even on facebook!

Pretty savvy, tbh. Lush has nice products but at the end of the day the $15 bath bomb is really just scented baking soda that's gonna drain out with the rest of the bath water.

This point 100x times. I am more paranoid about COVID than most people are because I have an autoimmune disease (which is mild and seems to not really affect outcomes). While my autoimmune caveat can be written off, I see most people seeing death as the only bad outcome and framing their risk tolerance and mitigation based on that. What has given me extra concern from the start is the damage done by COVID for patients who survive and even have a mild case. The rates of Long COVID (potentially overdiagnosed because of similarities with pandemic restriction related depression) are sufficiently high that it more concern than is given.
Looks like a pretty cool project you got going there. I wish you luck, and success! I always thought that was a high-value space, but many of the tools are just thick. Expensive kind of painful.

I'm not looking at new opps right now, (have a startup of my own ramping up) but we may find a chat worth it. I'll try and connect with you in the near future. :D
The youngest kids are actually more likely to pass it on to their families, because they can't isolate.
> > Younger people getting it as schools open up

> Wouldn't that cause an increase in the death rate among the unvaccinated?

If the unvaccinated are skewing younger over time, we'd expect the death rate to go down because of that. Younger people are much less likely to die from COVID, even if they're not vaccinated, and this seems to be especially true for school age children.
I believe that has been established for a while now across multiple jurisdictions. Most approved vaccines in eu and us are quite effective though

If by persist to disk you mean "when you're done", it can by replicating the db to a file. Another option is to back it up over the network, e.g., https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream
I’m not convinced it matters that much. Regions with high vaccination rates are having corona spikes right now. In my country 92 % of adults are vaccinated and we have the highest number of cases since 2020. Gibraltar with 100 %, Ireland with 95 %, there are more countries/regions…, all having a big rise in cases and are going back into lockdown.

So it doesn’t seem like the lower viral load is making much of a difference.
That's brilliant, of course, but he owned 30% before being kicked out which would be a little over $300bn now.
I respectfully disagree that it should be legal. In my younger years I went through a month of hard use. It was awful. It makes you act completely out of character-more aggressive, less inhibitions when performing risky activities (e.g., speeding, theft, approaching members of the opposite sex), and you can actually do a lot of damage because, unlike alcohol, you are high functioning the whole time. I don't want to think about living in a society where that's legal.

I think GP is referring to the DMCA, which forbids reverse-engineering unless it's to understand how to interface your own code with something (although I'm not a lawyer).
Ironically the specific definition of what open source is is not universally agreed on hence why you have likely seen the acronyms FOSS and FLOSS used explicitly. E.g. if you ask someone of the FSF group what "open source" means and they'll say the obvious meaning is you can look at the source code which is what makes "open source" different than FLOSS (which includes rights to use/modify the source). On the other hand if you ask the open source initiative what "open source" means and they'd likely link you to the OSD which includes most of the things a FSF would consider part of the separate FLOSS definition.

Usually the definition of open source isn't what matters for all things legal though it's about what rights you were assigned and what those let you do as you point out. All the "what does open source mean" debate is just debate on the terminology of being able to view the source.
This is what I used to think, but after twenty years of running Linux, and at least twice that many reinstalls, I very much appreciate an OS that doesn't eventually bitrot underneath me.

"Just install this one package to get CUDA working"... no. If I do that, then in two months when I want to do something else I'll find my OS is no longer capable of being used that way. And in four, when I want this specific version of CUDA working again, I don't remember how. The instructions probably wouldn't work anymore anyway.

NixOS allows me to put in down in terms of code, and the code practically never stops working. It's also immortal -- I've never needed to reinstall it. If I did, it'd be painless, but that's only ever happened in case of hardware failure.

It's the best part of Nix.
I consider mental models more to be good decisions made in bulk (though not necessarily the best decisions). Of course you'll break the model when it's convenient or when you know better, but when you're taking your day on autopilot it'll keep you moving towards your goals. Like in the runner example, the mental model of "put one foot in front of the other" may not help, but a "I run for an extra 90 seconds after I get tired" might keep you pushing to always improve. Maybe this is just a difference of definition of "mental model". I saw it being complained about elsewhere, but the thread seems to generally be defining it as "rules of thumb".

You do have a good point that folks tend to have a lot of difficulty breaking mental models they used as crutches while learning. In playing guitar, I've found folks who rely heavily on things like the box model or pentatonic scale who plateau and get "stuck" at a certain skill level because of it. So it raises the question - Is it better to use a model that provides quick wins and a notable plateau, or risk never getting traction but having an easier time at the high level? Of course that all depends on the specifics of each scenario, but my rule of thumb is to do the more fun thing and re-evaluate when my skills plateau.
So what's the harm in accepting it was a lab leak? You might end up with better procedures?

It’s not documented anywhere. OpenGL just works like it does on any other Mac, and you won’t notice it unless you find bugs in it (Wine has some oddball OpenGL checks that trigger a Metal assertion on Big Sur)

> i think what we want is for apple to ‘actually try’ to provide security, in some way that results in security order of magnitudes better than we enjoy today

That's a pretty tall order, and would likely result in a device that is much more expensive and has a user experience that users would not like. Assuming "orders of magnitude better" is even possible, of which I am skeptical.

The problem is that vaccination protects you from having a bad case of Covid, but it doesn't protect you from getting infected and infecting others. So, if the vaccinated carry on as if it's 2019, the disease will jump from one vaccinated person to the next until it finds an unvaccinated person.
The vaccine is still good at preventing you from catching it at all. If you don't catch it you don't spread it. It's more like 50% effective than 99%, but it's still going to reduce the chance you give it to anyone substantially.
If I can modify my behavior and save an elderly grandparent's life, I will happily do so.

Regardless of covid's source. Are we ready for something that is truly bad? It sure is a good thing that covid turned out to not be anywhere near as deadly as the spanish flu as they touted it to be.

Here's an article from April 1st 2020.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-media-change-tune-trum...

Trump put in travel restrictions for china in february of 2020 and was called xenophobic and fear mongering over what wasn't yet a pandemic. Sorry but the democrats went on the offensive attacking trump for doing what everyone did.

Flipside, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/obama-team-left-pandemic...

Trump had a pandemic playbook on how to react to a pandemic and didn't use it? Is it possible because of the political attacks on him?

It's pretty obvious that politics got in the way bigtime. I have no expectations this will be different next time.

Then we had clearly political decisions made all throughout. By May 2020 we had the data in that people like Dr. Neil Ferguson of Imperial College said covid is the equivalent of the Spanish Flu of 1918.That was wrong and we still reacted like it was indeed still dangerous. When in reality it was less dangerous than the normal flu season(largely due young children being unharmed).

The number of political abuses is so high that society right now would not accept another pandemic. That they are almost certainly full of shit at this point.

Because couriers offer spoof calling as an under-the-table service to spam caller organizations.

I have no proof of this, but at this point in time my opinion of telcos is so low that I will assume it is happening until I find out explicitly that it’s not.

I think there's truth to the nostalgia-goggles view here.

I think the early internet:

- was a more distinctly bounded subset of individuals - now it's closer to a random sampling of humans

- had less "background monetary radiation" so there was far less incentive to make low value content

- content spread mostly by human -> human interaction so the bar for something being shared and consequently your likelyhood of seeing it was set higher

It feels like the signal to noise ratio was significantly better as a combination of those things. This sort of product-shilling was less profitable. Also in general the profitability vector being "people click the buy link" vs "people's continued trust in my expertise" influences the sort of content that's created.
More importantly in a lot of cases, you can ask the kernel for the client's SID as the server, and make decisions knowing that the client couldn't forge it.
You're missing my point entirely.

I can mint a token right now with minimal expenditure that cannot be counterfeited that anyone in the world can use to represent exchange of value. And everyone in the world can also do that. You could not do that with google docs. It is not the same thing as barter.

Again, and my main point: you might think that it is stupid, a terrible idea, and you might even be right, but because anyone can do it, it isn't going away. This is the world now.
Absolutely. Just another option that's not talked about as much, so I've been trying to shed some light on it. If want capital without the "help" from VCs, there are options there, but as you said, with different downsides (mainly being on the hook for repayment).
I guess for people who like types whatever tools Elixir comes up with will never match a true typed language like Java or Kotlin.
Was the whole thing really worth a rewrite - have no idea. They also mentioned lack of libraries.
I don't really understand people who argue for types in a micro/small service environment. Most people don't work on a million LOC codebase anymore, instead they have a few dozens small-medium sized services. That's the current fad at least.
So why is refactoring so painful in a dynamic language on a medium service?
Brex didn't really provide much details here I have to say.

That is how it works. The board has the power to fire the CEO in all companies that I know of. (I suppose you might be able to write the bylaws so this isn't true but I'm not sure; a corporate lawyer would know.) The best you can do is to have an employment contract that regulates how the firing happens (ie. do you get severance, accelerated options, longer option exercise times, COBRA, etc. if you are fired without "cause", with cause carefully defined.)

Removing you from the board itself is a different matter. But that's usually also explicitly covered: they don't put the founder in the "Common seat" they put the founder in the "CEO seat." That way, when you're fired as CEO you automatically lose your board seat.

You'd think so, but where I'm from there are rural areas where hardly anyone has vaccinated and those who get sick from COVID are filling all of the hospitals in the cities while many other people were actually protesting at hospitals.

It's really disconcerting to think all those amazing life-saving but time-critical techniques and technologies that we have developed in the 20th century don't mean a thing if you're screaming in agony in the back of an ambulance after a car accident while the ambulance is stuck in a protest 200 feet from the ER entrance.
