"They" is just a lot of software engineers who really really like it and want to be using it, but can't use it in their day job, so continue to talk and talk and talk about it in the hopes that it's used more. I'm one of them (not using it currently, want to use it).
That's a somewhat naïvely correct cap, seems to me it should be higher, to impose a bit of a penalty and discourage 'try before you buy'. Also is that acquisition cost the same as it is to the borrower anyway?
I don't know how Twitter plans to implement this, but I believe they could try to do so in good faith and using automation.

1. Target identifies disputed photo of themself.

2. Twitter issues a dispute ID / QR

3. Target sends in a fresh selfie with the dispute ID printed or on a screen alongside.

4. Twitter performs face analysis of both images and OCR of ID.

5. If faces match and ID is validated, Twitter takes down the disputed image.
I'm reminded why I shouldn't engage with HN
That still implies it isn't about identity verification.
That doesn't explain the cost for use of e-books, especially the public domain books under Project Gutenberg, nor does it really explain the banning of book donations from registered non-profits. If the issue you describe is prevalent, then I could see the need for vetting non-profits before donation, but not outright blocking them.
Fun timing: I just implemented, purely for fun, EC curve public key recovery from signed message in Clojure, using both "regular" maths (and the Java crypto BouncyCastle library) and then handcoded jacobian maths (I did it only for secp256k1 but I take it works with many curves).

Took me quite some head scratching to get working but it was nice when it eventually worked.

Tiny nitpick: "Hence, when compressing a point, an additional byte of data is used to distinguish the correct y-coordinate.". It's actually only one additional bit of data that is needed, not a full byte: all you need is the parity of the y-coordinate. Even though that one bit is often encoded in a full byte it's not always so: for example Ethereum, for a very long time, used transactions where the y-coordinate parity was encoded as a single bit, along with the "chain ID" (now with the latest protocols they're encoding the parity in a full byte, which is either 0x00 or 0x01).

It's really a tiny nitpick but there you go.

It is very common for disruption to happen with cross disciplines. It seems to me that it worked in this case with a software dev going into the auto industry.
So ebooks then? What bad could possibly done by providing free access to public domain works, and access to library schemes?
> I had a lot of respect for Bill

That was your mistake right there. Bill Gates has been a criminal for longer than I can clearly remember, the only thing that kept his company from being split up was his political connections. Bill Gates did not deserve anybody's respect past the point where he started to use his wealth to buy access and cover for his misdeeds. And make no mistake: the rot that this caused has never really left Microsoft, it has only caused it to get smarter about how it presents itself.
You’re saying NYC has the worst subway? If so, you’re seriously taking it for granted.

It’s the only subway I’m aware of with two sets of tracks so it can run 24 hours even while maintenance is performed usually. It’s better than basically any other subway in America as a start and certainly better than many others as well.

That said, the United States is clearly terrible at public transport overall.

Yeah that's the theory, but reality is different and probably why we don't see any in production. (The last company that would admit to a tiny bit of clockless logic, Wave, folded).

The reality is that doing clockless logic introduces a lot of overhead at every state, both area and timing. There is different styles and the issue are different for them, but the bottom line is that nobody has been able to realize the theoretically wins in production (note1). And that's not even addressing the lack of tooling.

Renting housing is generally not rent-seeking - that's exactly my point. If a property goes up for sale one can (1) choose to invest capital to purchase it, and (2) offer a contract for housing at a managed property to people who can't necessarily afford the capital investment of property purchase. Providing a service (housing access and property upkeep) in exchange for money is literally not economic rent-seeking (gaining wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity).

It's only for the particular school of Georgism (which holds that all undeveloped land value should be rightfully owned by citizens equally) from which the phrase originates that the transaction of "housing rent" is viewed as unjust enrichment (in that the majority of the cost is assumed to merely cover rights to the undeveloped land). Even through this economic lens it's difficult to make the "rent" definitions align, as the notion that a property might "go up for sale" is already a violation of the principle - the landlord is still providing a service with investment capital, they're just forced to work within the confines of the system for private land ownership.

The problem is mostly the Apple devices which don't support non-proprietary formats. H.264 is probably the most universal codec, but it's proprietary and requires a license for commercial use. The non-proprietary VP8 codec is supported by most browsers, but Safari support (outside of WebRTC) requires version 14.1, which was only released this year. And that's only on Mac OS, not iOS—though we might see WebM support for mobile Apple devices in the next release. And then there are complicating factors like "Edge support for VP8 requires the use of Media Source Extensions" and "Firefox only supports VP8 in MSE when no H.264 hardware decoder is available"[0] which stand in the way of a one-size-fits-all solution.

[edit] just to round out context, this story was told while putting locked down chrome books (better than just books I guess) and secure networking in the prison so that inmates can learn trade skills and even coding (at zero cost for use to the inmates as well). Please don’t mistake any of the below for lack of respect and care

A nearby prison had inmates routinely high, a huge black eye on the warden and staff. For the life of them they couldn't figure out how anyone was smuggling narcotics until one day they caught an inmate smoking a page of the Holy Bible.

So the inmates were getting printed religious materials soaked in heroin (thank you generous spirit) and then ripping them out to enjoy. This prison went the somewhat charitable route to scan all letters, books and documents, but it does go to show that stories / headlines that appear absurd on the surface are usually just as absurd underneath.
Honestly the worst part about those popups on the mobile site is the fact that they don't even open the post in the damn app. They take you straight to the frickin' app store! It's such awful design and utterly infuriating.
Even now, things do eventually change:

"the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain [...] had full legal rights to legislate for the colonies. [...] This remains the same for all existing British overseas territories such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands [...]"

You may wish to read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories#G...

specifically "Following the Lords' decision in Ex parte Quark, 2005, [...] To comply with the court's decision, the territorial governors now act on the advice of each territory's executive and the UK government can no longer disallow legislation passed by territorial legislatures."

and the sections sketching the legislatures in Bermuda and Gibraltar.

e.g. "Individual overseas territories have legislative independence over immigration"

Is there any "punishment" for a judge whos' ruling is overturned by a higher court?

It would seem to me that the definition of a good judge is one who always predicts how a higher court would act, and acts the same.

This is a big deal. For the energy cost of a single Bitcoin transaction, you could do about 10 transactions on Ethereum or 3,800,000 transactions on Solana.

Solana isn't cheaper because it's not being used. It's already doing more transactions than the other two networks combined.
Thanks for adding the stack trace. I've made a bug issue to track this https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/1601 and I'll take a look into it tonight. I'll need to dig into why our windows integration tests don't catch this (it appears to be a windows-specific problem)
Daily affirmations and goals like this are part of nearly every self help system on the market. This is straight out of a Tony Robbins style life success guide.
If Elizabeth Holmes did actually follow this schedule, then she wouldn't have to write it down. This is a wishlist. I actually do practice a similar schedule to this but I have never written it down anywhere. Writing it down and hoping you do it never works. This is the sort of thing you build naturally, piece-by-piece, and over time.
Domino is _one_ version of asynchronous, but that's using a different notion of Asynchronous than the article. Because of the ambiguity, we talk today of clock-less logic, which comes in variants, most notably delay-insensitive and quasi-delay-insensitive. The latter is faster, but less immune to noise (has has terrible timing analysis issues).
Do you have any btc, or still waiting in case it doesn't catch on?

The most important part of an apology is, imo, sincerity. I think Patrick is chiming into this thread to perform damage control, not to sincerely apologize.

This, to me, is evident in the fact that OP interviewed for a specific, high level position, and named specific, repeated bad processes that go beyond Patrick's generic "We interview a lot of people so some people are going to have a bad time."

Patrick has more than enough information to start fixing things on a systemic level. Instead, he optimizes for the appearance of contrition without committing to fixing any of the specific problems mentioned.

My guess as to why this isn't a built-in feature: encoding video with high fidelity is taxing on hardware (a good amount of CPU/GPU/disk space required), and it's a fairly niche use-case for any popular remote conferencing app to include and potentially fill users' disks with video by accident. Plus, the roundabout way you mentioned is probably how a lot of creators do it :)

I think I do understand the different paths taken. Strip away the false-friend of interpreting jurisprudence as compiler-output of legal code, and its decisions will reflect the pragmatism of the society that created it. The differences in priorities are stark, both here and elsewhere: "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" vs "peace, order, and good government".
Basically they give you a few Wi-Fi access points and a central server PC, but instead of those being Wi-Fi and standalone, it’s 5G and cloud controlled as should be in late 2021.

And unlocked phone should work provided it supports required frequency(tricky) and voice calls should be possible, but it probably can’t readily connect to PSTN and given actual “1-555-1234567” numbers, or make 911 calls for that matter. If you’re going to have Asterisk SIP VoIP server running on-prem, that is probably supported.
Transactions only matter if they're for something useful, like trade. Just doing transactions back and forth produces nothing of value.

But someone who sells a security backed by the cash flows from those future investments is receiving cash before the cash flows have materialized (or been taxed). There's also no guarantee that they will ever be taxed. Take, for example, a startup that continually reinvests all profits in additional R&D, sales, and marketing, gets increasing large revenue streams, but then sells the whole company to a bigger one before ever realizing a GAAP profit. Capital gains tax is Uncle Sam's way of taking a cut on all the intermediate owners who benefit from the business reinvestment but know how to turn profits into larger market share.

As I understand it the technology behind Tor is strengthened by an arms race. You want several different well-funded entities running nodes, because that makes the service better for everybody. Even if some of those entities are hostile they still help unless one entity controls a large portion of interior nodes and even then you're only giving metadata to that single entity (whichever it is) by using Tor, not anybody else - which is better than you're going to do with alternative technologies.
I think the whole point of the service is "convenience". If deploying private 5g is as convenient as deploying Wi-Fi, why not just deploy private 5g?

We all like Wi-Fi because we can attach a Wi-Fi router to an internet link and it "just works". Similarly, if you can make a mobile network "just work", you are getting the same functionality plus the benefits you outlined.

This may not seem very impressive to someone who has no need to support large Wi-Fi deployments, like a typical home or office wireless network. These are not the cases this service is targeting anyway.

The target customers are enterprises that are managing large-scale fully-automated sites like warehouses and factories that need to support 10s-100s of thousands of IOT devices which may include some time-critical systems that need ultra-low-latency reliable connections to a backend. Today these enterprises have to rent a 4g network from a telecom provider to enable these sites which takes months of planning and is expensive to operate and extend.

This is where the "convenience" becomes a game-changer. Using a private-5g service, an enterprise can deploy new large-scale networks in days, manage the networks like just another cloud resource, and extend the network at will. I presume the pricing model for the service will also be much more affordable where instead of paying for each end-user (IOT device), you'd likely be only charged for your data usage on pay-as-you-go basis.
My understanding is that they basically have.

If your ad spend is greater than ~$5k, you get a twitter liaison that can fast-track verification.
Not exactly the same, but the anywhere stuff (ECS etc) - I've found it pretty enjoyable to use. You basically can throw some beefy local servers into the pools and away you go with your standard jobs. When you need to maintain things locally, you can (usually) migrate loads pretty directly to an AWS region.

Pricing locally is really good in many cases vs AWS and the ECS Anywhere fees themselves for example are pretty modest. $8/month range per machine (which can of course host a fair bit).

Sadly, I don't think there is a solution to be had (otherwise politics wouldn't a thing). Nature is just simply brutal. I think Hobbe's arguments presented in his "Leviathan" perhaps makes it most apparent, and with a little thought experiment, you can easily see how impossible a meritocracy is, as it totally relies on a unified will for it to work.
