>Agreed. That's exactly what it seems like. And that sounds like immoral, unjustifiable, sickening hell. That Apple gets to hold all the cards, no one else on the planet gets any say in how a device might be used.

I'm not a big proponent of IP, but you're basically saying it is immoral, unjustifiable, and sickening as hell that Apple enforces the rules that Apple wants on Apple products/services, which were created and offered by Apple? Who should be making the rules if not the creator and maintainer of the product/service? Why is using another product/service not an acceptable alternative?

I agree with the general direction of your comment, but certainly not with the same voracity that wouldn't allow my own company to create the rules for my own service offerings (within the confines of state/national law).
It’s not quite the same - it’s far more critical.

>Nobody uses Defi to "borrow".

I mostly "use" crypto to keep USDC in DeFi sites like Aave for ~3-10% APY and some on Gemini for a FDIC insured 8% APY. This money primarily gets lent out for other people margin trading, but you don't really need to take on any of that risk for yourself.

> The whole of Eth is planned to move to 100% PoS Quarter 1 of 2022

I have heard this so so many times. ETH moving to PoS fully in X months. I'll believe it when it happens.

And I'm glad they plan on making it happen cause there way too many things harming the environment already. A major cryptocurrency reducing their environmental impact is welcomed.
Big +1 on all of this. I have terrible rural internet, and just recently tried developing my first app with HTMX (wasn't aware of Alpine.js), and _man_ is it fast. For city slickers with their symmetrical gigabit connections it may be unnoticeable, unfortunately. Not saying SPAs have to be bloated, it just seems like most sites that turn into SPAs are bloated.

All that said, trying to push everything server-side if you've been working in a heavy client takes some getting used to. In my real life job I've seen feature flags shipped as an API so the client queries whether a feature flag is enabled - this is something that always struck me as silly, the server serving the front end already knows if the feature flag is enabled. While that might be justifiable in some cases, it is definitely not so much in the on-prem-only product I worked on.
> But when people started claiming it came from China they weren’t doing so off of hard evidence or being rational.

Here is the NIH director being asked uncomfortable questions and being completely irrational: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRZE-SJShkE

This comment summarizes it better than I can:

> I'm curious why Dr. Collins believes so strongly that a lab leak was unlikely, that is his reasoning, given that he states SARS had leaked on at least a couple different occasions resulting in some deaths, yet was quickly contained. The non-answer to this question, or his reference to an investigation into the intermediary, which he admits has not yet been found and will take much time, are insufficient to address the elephant in the room. It's frustrating hearing "trust the experts and bureaucracy" when throughout the interview so many instances of incompetence and failure exist in history. The question needs to be asked regarding gain of function and yet Mr. Collins is more concerned about the reputation of the scientific community. Both are important, but how can we have a public conversation without probing Senators like Rand Paul? "Public" conversations within the scientific community are referenced by Dr. Collins as well as the achievements of the Human Genome Project, but I don't understand how he can be so defensive of public figures' reputations. Again, how are we to have conversations and trust when the bureaucrats and scientific community don't communicate answers to these huge problems! Excuse us, Mr. Collins, but we just had a major pandemic and this current version of SARS was not contained and you can say you wish China were more forthcoming, but perhaps those three instances of gain of function research in the flu versus your woeful insufficient in my opinion defense of a natural gain of function and leak in the case of SARS covid-2, at least deserves some respectful, humble conversation. Labeling Senators as playing politics is not helpful since, in regards to Dr. Paul, what alternative to asking questions do you propose to serve the public interest? (This is coming from someone who read Dr. Collins book "DNA The Language of Life" having enjoyed this book as one of the best on the topic of science and faith.)

I am sure the Director of NIH didn't get to this position with incompetence. Good men are being turned into a hot mess. I would still trust NIH but they really need to clean up. I want to hold CDC and NIH more accountable than say some lunatic saying "China virus" on Parlor.
That guess is incorrect.

And yes, as I explained but will repeat, strikes happen within a political/legal/cultural/economic context. In some contexts, that has increased the frequency of strikes. By your account, the proportion of strikes just relates to the financial position of the strikers...I don't know how it is possible to be aware of the history of trade unionism and come to that conclusion.

For example, individuals do not choose to strike. They vote for strike action in a ballot or there is a decision taken by an executive of the union. Exactly how this occurs has had a huge role in determining the frequency of strikes (if you look at the labour history of the UK, the lack of democratic process in important unions was a major reason why they went militant, why strikes increased, and eventually why unions fell into decline).

The specifics of your account of striking is mostly wrong too (for example, it is not always true that strikers are unpaid). Most people today do not understand how unions operate...this is related to the fact that they live in countries where the labour movement committed suicide, and they are left with militant unions that misrepresent how unions can actually work effectively (again, Europe is a perfect example of this, the militant behaviour of unions today is a function of their irrelevance in society, and that is 100% a function of the use of industrial action by militant unions).
If, as a condition of taking money from a VC, you sign a piece of paper that says one board seat belongs to that VC, then you can't fire your board, regardless of your percent ownership of the company.

Percent ownership matters, certainly: it's what allowed you to make that deal in the first place. At that point your ownership becomes a little bit less about control, and perhaps a little more about economic interest.

Building bad queries with an ORM isn't necessarily the ORM engine's fault. It's really just a tool and, as such, its value really relies on one's proficiency with it.

It never really was. Reasonable conversations were being had, just not on polarized platforms. People's knee-jerk reactions to downvoting and "cancelling" every thing that mentioned it, in good faith or bad, last year was a direct response to the powers-that-were choosing the "China did it (maybe on purpose)" narrative to misdirect peoples anger and frustration.

If those same people would have said things like "obviously, it's _possible_ it was leaked from a lab, we're going to work on finding that out and let you know what we find as we do. In the mean time, here's what we're going to do about the immediate problems we're facing..." and ended it there, there wouldn't have been any backlash. That's what going on now, and that's why this post (good or bad, I can't say, I can't access it) wasn't flagged into oblivion the second it hit the front page.
> There has to be a logical stopping point to investigations, because at some point they just become metaphysics.

The law understands this point very well, which is why it has developed concepts like Proximate cause: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate_cause

Rules of evidence also arose to prevent investigations and analyses from getting lost in the weeds. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_(law) Though they're highly tuned to witness testimony and similar mushy issues--intent, etc--so don't translate well. But whenever you hear about a court tossing out evidence, or doing something seemingly inane like (in a recent high-profile case) preventing a juror from using a smartphone to "zoom in" to a piece of evidence, it's precisely this role that is being (or attempted to be) primarily served--preventing scope creep and the endless bickering that will inevitably result. The rabbit hole is bottomless, and whatever stopping points you choose are often arbitrary--they especially seem so to outsiders.

If someone only has $40 for groceries, how will they be able to come up with $88 for just plain rice?

The answer is that they can’t get those same discounts buying larger scale items.

I agree there are still some cases where people may spend irresponsibly, but it’s a different problem than “cheaper calories exist in large enough quantities”

How would that work? Can't you just not donate the house, after they have given you their crypto?
The only thing I can add to what you said is another cynical thought of mine, starting with the question of why would Apple waste the money in this case? And the only answer I can come up with is that they need to re-establish their image of "security". I can't help but feel with various actions taken by them in recent times this being anything more than theatre unfortunately. If they prevail, I wonder if it will simply be a case of Blackwater renaming themselves.

I experienced dilution as a former employee of a startup. Teespring did a 13:1 down round a year or so after I left (2015?). If you weren't an accredited investor that could afford to invest in the round, you had 1/13 of your original shares after the round finished. I experienced both being pushed into AMT when exercising the options (they didn't offer early exercise) along with having 1/13 of my shares later on. No idea if I'll ever see any money out of the deal so I've chalked it up being a lesson learned -- many say to value stock options as $0 but they can have negative value.

As stated, TFA only has a partial list of Gates's media "donations", but he and his various firms and foundations give lots of money to politicians, too. This includes many Republicans, in case someone was laboring under the delusion that there is a significant difference between them and the Democrats.
The author makes a case against using “valid_from”/“valid_to” columns on your table. But in my experience, that is the only viable solution. Fx joining an employee-table and a department-table needs to take into account when an employee was in which department. How would do that with some git-like version control for data? That might be useful for some machine learning training dataset, but in an operational system? No thanks
Huh, I didn't really have a problem solving the problem as it came up. Like many scaling problems, it wasn't a problem until it was. Then I fixed it. Now I have a solution that can deal with ten times as many strings as before. If I grow out of that one, I'll come up with a better design.

I could have gotten 10 times as much hardware instead, but that would be an incredible waste of money compared to just spending a few days writing more hardware-efficient code.
The "worth" of money is more than just the durability of the physical material. The #1 most important factor is its use in facilitating trade. We've introduced multiple Dollar coins into general circulation in the US and they've always failed because people culturally don't like using them, and businesses don't like wasting money accepting them.

Yes, this is what many companies do. std containers are good enough for the general case, but are certainly situations where you need something more fancy.

> A 50lb bag of white rice can be had on Amazon for $88

There's an obvious problem with cost per unit tricks like this. You have to be able to front the money to buy the big bag of rice. If your food budget is $40/wk, how are you going to spend $88 on a bag of rice? With your non-existent savings account? By eating plain rice and literally nothing else for > two weeks?
The rest of your post is a very standard HN response to crypto, to the point where I'm not even sure if you wrote it or copied it.

I just want to respond to this:

>Proof-of-stake is basically a fantasy of how we'll solve PoW problems with a lot of hand-waving. It having not happened yet is pretty good evidence of this being a fantasy.

PoS is bog standard for new chains. Every "up and coming" chain is essentially a clone of Ethereum with some scalability improvements and proof-of-stake for consensus. See: Harmony, Luna, Avalanche, &c

i always thought that finding "the root cause" was simply a declaration by those investigating that they're either satisfied with what they've learned or are bored of investigating.

at the end of the day, only a few things matter. which component is actually broken? since it's not always obvious, so that the immediate situation may be resolved expeditiously. what was the event that triggered it such that process or tooling around it might be improved? where might investment be made to prevent the same or similar happening in future?

that's basically it.
Available in many libraries.

They rate products in a bunch of categories using a table and a circle which would be various levels of full color depending on how a product rated. which meant sometimes you wouldn't just go to the highest rated if one part of the product scored lower in a category. Its an interesting data visualization method. Plus the table usually has specs too.

I think it is better called a "compliment sandwich". With practice, I think one can usually find something to praise about someone. Books called "difficult conversations", "crucial conversations", or similar (I have a couple, not at hand at the moment, and some material re this topic at my web site) are helpful in saying what needs to be said, while ALSO expressing true caring for the person as a valued human being.

Someone wise said something like: "the primary feeling in any interaction should be love", and, "never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved". It takes practice, and probably a supporting belief system. They didn't mean romantic love, but a sense of really caring about the person and their well-being, as more important than any putting them down or $ or whatever.

I think I said that better at my web site (in profile), under something like "Other / Life Lessons learned" / maturity models / social / ...."

Edit: another way to look at it is to be sure to say what you are NOT saying: "First of all, thanks for your efforts. One thing that happened is X did not actually help with Y, but it might in the future if it were more Z. (smile) I am definitely not saying you are are a bad person or something, or should be fired [if you can say so honestly]. We all have room to improve, I know I do, and I hope you will tell me so when you see ways I can improve. And I appreciate your efforts, and you have really good potential. Let's go forward together on this project from here." (Everyone does have good potential, in some context, I believe, and maybe it is almost always good to say "I think we can go forward on ___ with ___. I can be wrong, and thanks for listening!! That is kind of you. I will try to do the same." [then do so, asking questions, you can always say "interesting, I should probably give that some thought"... in a pinch.)

There are many good ideas out there. Asking questions and listening and observing, among them.

This is a great point. Some ways I'm seeing this addressed are in the form of,

- Credit ratings from the real world being moved on chain, both by startups and by established companies (see Fitch report from Oct 21, pay-to-access only).

- Credit ratings across and on chains (https://www.credprotocol.com/) to make sure that a defi OG on eth can have access to collateral on other chains.

- Chainlink and others are working on products like CCIP (https://chain.link/cross-chain) to facilitate creating more systems like this through Oracles vs having to be reinvented.

I would imagine this state of affairs gets better over time.

‘tensions continue to rise over the death of an ethnic minority in a agrarian province at the hands of state security forces’

Is absolutely nothing compared to the mountains of analysis of how racist and brutal the US police are, likening them to slave patrols, citing statistics about how often unarmed black people are killed, criticizing the Supreme Court for qualified immunity, explaining the overpolicing of trivial crimes in poor neighborhood and underpolicing of serious crimes that harm this same neighborhoods, the school to prison pipeline etc. etc.

As pointed out elsewhere, when you are dirt poor it's not about unit price. It's about cash flow. Very often it's impossible to drop $90 at once on anything, not to mention the luxury of having Amazon Prime.
I don't know of any legitimate security research group that hacks user accounts they don't own.

NSO hacked devices they didn't own and infected them with spyware. Apple had to pay to repair / replace those devices.

I don't see how this sets any sort of precedent with security researchers are liable for the costs of fixing vulnerabilities that they uncover.
