Well it's your body... But don't do X around me because it affects me in Y way. But I can do Z because I decide the tradeoffs. It's a flawed logic, because most actions extend consequences on others. Although I agree with not smoking in people's face.

And plenty of us around the world understand the “postulate that a fetus is not a human being yet” to be the height of absurdity and insane, frankly, and therefore abortion is a matter of grave injustice: the murder of innocent and defenseless human persons.
Yeah I wish I could change the wakeword. I moved to a homepod mini from echo dots for more privacy but it's annoying but being able to change it. I'd prefer one that's one word Iike.

Also bad that it won't check your email etc without an iPhone.. Not very happy with it in general but I love the yellow colour and I trust Apple a bit more for privacy.

One thing that is great is that it matches your own volume. If I ask a question quietly at night Siri responds in a very low volume whereas the echo dot just booms like it's daytime.
Ideally try to avoid using Celery at all. It's the most consistently buggy, poorly documented, worst quality major Python project I have used so far.

Here is a fresh example: they deprecated CELERY_ prefixes in Django settings for some reason, which makes zero sense [1]. But because it's Celery, they only warn on a few properties but not others, and the tool they ship inexplicably renamed completely unrelated settings for me [2]. And yes, apparently the new way doesn't work either [3].

It's very characteristic of what I've seen from Celery over the last few years of working with it. If you are doing anything greenfield, it's best to avoid it altogether.

Sure that’s cool. If you develop software for a company. Or any one you know develops software and charges for it. I hope you’re equally okay with you or your friends livelihoods going away if all people decide to think like you and find charging for any software to be the antithesis of what. They want the world to be. Usually this isn’t the case.

If they took the same heavy-handed approach to diet that they took with smoking I'd find the policy approach a lot more tolerable honestly. Just picking one or the other seems like discrimination because I think generally being fat is comparably unhealthy to smoking.

When it comes to me, they ignore their financial interest. Vaccine mandates. Not hiring Americans. Banning US Presidents. Killing domestic energy. When it comes to marxists, can't lap it up fast enough. I found people are a disappointment, and the worst behavior you tend to overlook is true. They're communists. Strident all out communists who want to take over and laugh when they murder people. They're like this because the flunk out, and like a mentally challenged person pretending to read a book they flock to marxism just because the college tail they've been plowing can't shut up about it.

Here's a dirty secret about business, finance, politics, medicine, and life for that matter. People die. Make all the money you want.

There is the whole thing about how society starts to break down once norms get ignored. Normally this gets brought up in relation to some right wing populist thing, but it applies equally to the way governments all around the world have thrown away any notion of personal freedom over the last two years. Covid hystericism is not going to be without consequence.

Indeed, GPL is libre software, but libre software is also a subset of open source software so they are often mistaken as the same.
How did openjsf.org get in the top 20? Script includes?
On Linux look at wimsplit which will convert the .wim into a series of .swm of smaller size.

As for why my guess is the .iso came from the standard distribution image used in CDs and handed to OEMs and whatnot. ESD doesn't allow direct image modification/slipstreaming and the official DVDs don't care if the file is >4GB as long as it fits on a disc.

The Windows USB tool actually creates an ISO based on the current update files on the Windows Update servers (for the major distribution, I don't think it includes minor updates), it's not pulling down a precompiled .iso. You'll actually get a different hash whenever you make this ISO as a result. Similarly if you dump to a USB drive it's just pulling the files to put there not extracting a .iso containing an .esd.

As to why they haven't implemented a better way for Linux/Mac users without access to a Windows machine to create a bootable Windows USB? It probably isn't a common enough problem for them to care.

>out of fear of the big bad GPLv3 licensing might make them actually allow public auditing of their proprietary OS.

Or because, you know, they make money selling that OS. And they understandably have no desire to make the entire thing GPLv3. And they also have countless contractual obligations to other vendors whose closed-source code is also bundled in OSX.

I find this attitude kind of troubling around here when every other day there's some "open source" project that has had to change licensing because insert cloud provider is stealing their lunch making it impossible for them to make a living. It turns out that someone has to pay the bills, and giving all of your software away isn't a great way to do that. Outside of Redhat, barely anyone has figured out how to make a business out of giving away software, and I'd argue the sale to IBM shows that even Redhat saw the gorilla that was AWS standing in the corner and decided it was time to throw in the towel.

Both-sides-are-the-same is lazy analsysis that avoids the difficult and essential question: Where is the problem?

Moderate Democrats dominate the party, as can be seen in the people in the White House, leading and controlling Congress, and even the next mayor of NY. In the GOP, arguably the most radical candidate ever was elected to the White House and dominates the party, with much of the party at the national and state level taking unprecendeted, radical steps to gain power, such as attempting to overthrow the will of the people: Most Republicans in Congress voted to overturn election results. You won't find both sides doing these things.
New Zealand has one of the best representative democracies in the world. It's weird that you differentiate the country from its people, like they don't have a say in policy-making.

When you read about a policy like this it's reasonable to assume that it enjoys broad support among the population; and that if it doesn't, it will be overturned in due time.

Good idea.
Aren’t computers mean to be used the way the computer owner and user wants it to be used?

Then there should be no problem for HNers who block all ads if hypothetically some situation comes out where all paid software and SaaS is able to be used freely on a person’s computing device. Since they should operate on the person’s behalf.

I doubt most HNers who directly or indirectly work on software/SaaS/apps, and live off that income, would be cool with this.
People assert that the bar has been raised in forums like this, but it’s hogwash. The bar in fiction is clear: Hal, Data from Star Trek, and Rosie from the Jetsons are AI. The computer from Star Trek (listens to voice commands and gives answers, ala Siri) is not. The bar is where it always was. You’re trying to drag it down. No one has pushed it up.
The employee needed more cash to 1) exercise the options, and 2) pay the taxes on the income from the discount of the option. They weren't able to exercise at all without this extra money, so they necessarily need either immediate income or a loan.

Also, private companies typically restrict an employee from transferring their stock. That's why employees are stuck waiting on an IPO, acquisition, etc. in the first place.

Probably mostly because of that.

Not that the other points are necessarily easy to follow since they're not well explained. If knowledge of why some type was hard to know or had to be googled (or for example noting what one of those types is) was presented, then people might have been able to respond to those points.

Instead it reads as "it's hard, I used it and it's hard, and I had to do some stuff I didn't like, and so my impression is it's just a bunch of people faffing off and it's too hard to take seriously", which isn't really useful for a discussion, and additionally is dismissive. Every one of the criticisms presented could be said about C without any change because no actual concrete details are provided.

It's not like Rust is perfect, there are many valid criticisms of it that have real examples and make useful points. Those comments probably deserve your defense more than this one.
> keep it simple and understandable

Yes. Rust helps with that because as a language it simplifies avoiding huge classes of vulnerabilities.

Rust simplifies it for the developers by moving part of the mental model of the developer into the compiler.
Right. So if there comes a day soon where every single online subscription service and SaaS is able to be used for free, we should be able to use all of it for free. The browsers exist to serve us. Not what some view as abusive business models.

> As a user, apple products are still the most privacy protecting products I can buy and use in china

I find it exceptionally hard to believe that, with iCloud datacenters located in homeland China. An easier explanation is that Apple's marketing, long revered as one of the best in the world, was able to convince people that they were secure while giving data to the CCP hand-over-fist behind the curtain. Until their system is transparent enough to say for sure, I'd err on the side of caution.
The truth has always been a threat to those who hide behind lies. It helps to realize that the world isn't necessarily getting worse as much as our information about it is getting better.

Smoking is also expensive. I smoked for about 20 years before quitting, and the amount of money I could save by not wasting it in cigarettes was quite high.

Just speculating, but might be that the NZ govt could be willing to ban the dependency on something that is imported so that people will have more money to spend in local products, hence fueling their economy.
I'm a big fan of prediction markets, where people wager their own money on clear yes/no propositions, and you get a payoff if you buy shares on the winning side. It's a great way to tap the "wisdom of the crowd," even if you don't put up your own money.

Which brings me to the JWST. I'd love to know how likely it is that this amazing (and amazingly complex) tool actually succeeds in its goals. There's no way I could figure it out myself; I'd have to take someone else's word for it. Unless... there is a prediction market somewhere betting on whether the JWST will succeed, so I can piggyback on others' research and self-interest. I haven't been able to find one though. (Perhaps people think betting "against" success is too macabre.)

Anyone want to throw out a likelihood of success? (My WAG: 70%.)
Anyone who values simplicity over security in the most used kernel in the world, has their priorities in the wrong place.
Yeah. I turned down an offer to go to Facebook in the early days because their product wasn’t something I wanted in the world. Have turned it down again more recently because I now realize Facebook is social cancer. I shared this with a recruiter and thankfully he put me on the “never ever” list. I wish I’d known that list existed years ago.

I turned down an interview at DHS building a massive database of repeat migrant border crossing. Migrants come here and pick our strawberries, then send money home and fund their children’s educations. Sure laws need to exist, and illegal crossing violates the law… but come on. Can’t say I support using tech to make their lives even harder, especially since they do really hard work to literally feed us. I’m happy letting DHS remain low-tech and largely ineffectual. Nobody who is smart enough to get important things done should apply those smarts to something that makes the world less humane or more unpleasant. And by god, never work on terrible weapons.

Turned down an opportunity to build a really neat high volume high speed data storage system at Apple because their product design arrogance annoys me and I consider their repeated removal of awesome features a betrayal of me personally and user centric design in general.

Quit a lucrative contract gig because their inability to prioritize information security was begging for a massive breach and I wanted nothing to do with fallout.

You might be justified in wondering how I can work anywhere;-) turns out there are plenty of places not actively making the world worse.
Interviewing is such bullshit. Besides all training and effort workers have to do on their own, we have to sit through these 2 ring circus interviews.

What do you think is evil about it? I dont know about any specific internal practices they have (and generally find if you want to find something to get mad at a company about, you usually can). But as far as their business goes, they found a business model that actually makes me pay for music. I think this is great, and finally ends the artificial monopoly that distributors had for the last ~50 years and brings us into more balanced regime that respects the ease of digital musical distribution.
This is a completely absurd take. There are bilions of dollars of inflation trades every single day in interest rates markets. It’s enormous.

The reality is that most crypto proponents have zero experience in capital markets and its plumbing. Your assertion that it’s simpler to do on blockchain is wrong is almost every single facet, and I’m happy to enumerate them if you’re interested.
That's correct. The original paper is "Scaling Laws for Transformers".
DDR4-3200 is an expensive boutique product. Drop the speed requirement a little and you'll find the pricing is in line with my comment.
Sounds like you got taken for a ride. You can get a real RO setup for $150 from wateranywhere.com. They're the retail side of AMI who makes RO membranes in SoCal. The filters need to be changed 2-4 times per year, and the membrane 1-2 also. That's going to cost a lot more than 90. If you're not changing the membrane, that's gross. If it is, I don't see how they can do it that cheaply unless it's an ineffective system. A permeate pump (passive device accomplishing pressure exchange) increases the product-to-waste ratio greatly. In all honesty, a 100 gpd system with a tank is the sweet spot because tankless (200 gpd) is too slow.

Alkaline is a magical, hocus-pocus trend for Hollywood wellness, "cleanses", and hippies with crystals. They sell that nonsense at my water store because enough ignorant fools asked for it and are willing to shell out money because some celebrity probably endorsed it.

Imagine this offering: "Why go through the hassle of generating clients for your service for each language when we can build ergonomic clients automatically" and "Why manually look for breaking changes in your API when we can detect them manually" or "We can give you $AMAZING_FEATURE for free by using a clearer language to describe your api" where your feature could be:

1. Reduced bandwidth ingress
2. Automatic tracing of PII through your system
3. Developer-controlled ops stuff (annotating an RPC as cachable, etc)
4. Automated tracing instrumentation
5. Message streaming (gRPC streams are amazing)

I can think of a whole host of features that can be built off of protos (I've even built ORMs off of protobuffs for simple things [0]). The value prop is there IMO. HTTP + json APIs are a local minima. The biggest concerns "I want to be able to view the data that is being sent back and forth" is a tooling consideration (curl ... isn't showing you the voltages from the physical layer, it is decoded). Buff is building that tooling.

Single data point. I pulled my kid out of public school due to the pandemic. Our big city public school system was frankly overwhelmed by the pandemic.

It was a very painful decision for my family as we largely believe in public school as a policy directive but submitting my kid to the idiocy for another year, and asking me to deal with it as well, was just untenable.
Both of these are instances of partisanship.

I should not have used software. I should have said apps, software, and services. Copyright is not what I was thinking of. I was including SaaS and so on in my thinking when I wrote my comment.

So take out copyright. Any charging of any digital service, subscription, et al, can have similar morally backed reasons to get around paying + getting everyone to get around paying. Off top of head. World is inherently unfair. Being poor is unfair. Charging money for digital subscriptions keeps the rich, rich. Keeps poor people out. We should be for figuring out how to get around all digital payments for digital services + subscriptions.

> nobody ever signed a social contract

That’s not how social contracts work. Social contracts aren’t meant to be signed. There’s no signed contract for person A to do any of the following in public: not to purposefully smell bad enough to have peoples gag reflexes kick in, for Person A not to repeatedly throw up in their hands and very dramatically repeatedly consume it all again, or for person A to laugh to themselves and loudly comment to themselves about how ugly or silly or { insert any other negativity } people near them are.

I can give other examples that are digitally focused too.

in general nearly all people adhere to a number of social contracts and expect the same of others.
