Ponzi works like this: Say this big shot investor invites you into his fund that gives a great return of 16% compounded year over year. The investor encourages his investor to put in regular amounts over time. He's got a fancy website that tracks your account balance which of course is only a ledger he owns. No financial institution seems to carry any money. It is a confidence scam. As long as you are confident that your money is being increased regularly and you are waiting long into the future to take it out it is never discovered that the Ponzi scammer is stealing all the money and living an extravagant lifestyle.
You're right. Bored during meeting, go this to work:

echo (*)#.*

This prints all dot files and regular files in the current directory. You do need to have `setopt EXTENDED_GLOB` somewhere in your zsh config.
Oh man, a pedantic HP correction. That takes me back!

Unfortunately, that it isn't the term's colloquial usage, and as a descriptivist, I fall on the side of how language is used by its native speakers.

> I assume that vaccinated people are at least somewhat less likely to spread COVID

They have a shorter shedding period and less area under the curve. There are reports that the peak is similar to unvac'd. Again it is case by case due to severity of an infection. A healthy unvac'd child will likely have a lower viral load than a vac'd elderly.

Now with regards to "likelihood", that will depend on the social behavior of vac'd vs unvac'd. This still is too vague as some vac'd are cautious while others are not, and vice-a-versa.

An employment policy interfering with employee pregnancy, in particular, is illegal (but only because it was explicitly made so in 1978 - https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/pregnancy-discrimination-act-1...).

In general, when an employment discrimination is not specifically forbidden via the Civil Rights Act (or interpreted as equivalent to something explicitly forbidden by the Court), it is legal to discriminate based on it in the United States. Beyond that, the Court and the legislature are (from a political philosophy standpoint) generally willing to let individual employees and employers (or employers and unions) hash out the messy details.
From the FAA

https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/2021-12/FRC_Document...

"...The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all transport
and commuter category airplanes equipped with a radio (also known as radar) altimeter.

This AD was prompted by a determination that radio altimeters cannot be relied upon to perform their intended function if they experience interference from wireless broadband operations in the 3.7-3.98 GHz frequency band (5G C-Band).

This AD requires revising the limitations section of the existing airplane/aircraft flight manual (AFM) to incorporate limitations prohibiting certain operations requiring radio altimeter data when in the
presence of 5G C-Band interference as identified by Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products..."
>Google let Niantic go.

Oh, I didn't know that. That's even worse. Niantic is positioning itself to be a competitor to Apple in the global spatial map game.

Explains why Go released on Android first, though. Neat. I hope that doesn't change now that they're running with 6d.ai.
I wonder what happens if you place a large enough order so that the restaurant has an interest in having it filled but you select no tip. Maybe restaurants, not customers, should be responsible for paying the delivery fee.
I've messed with it and my initial impressions are very positive... except that I've managed to find one bug, and that's that my experimental app appears in Siri App Suggestions and can't open because, well, that app isn't actually installed.

Maybe for iPadOS 15.2.1?
Notice that I said the CCP is imperial-"minded" and not necessarily imperial yet. We should hope that they don't try to take more territory after Hong Kong and (likely) Taiwan, but we should also be afraid that they will -- as we should be afraid of any nuclear power, including the US, doing the same.

> in terms of imperialism I'm much more worried about the USA

The US hasn't added/conquered territory since 1947, and it hasn't acquired a large, populated territory since 1898[1]. Whatever you want to call US foreign policy (certainly disastrous in the 20th century and early 21st), it's not imperial in the traditional sense of conquest and annexation.

> How many countries has China invaded in the last 20-30-40 years? How many has the USA?

The US hasn't unilaterally invaded any country since Panama in 1989[2]. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are horrific human rights disasters and unforgivable crimes, but they were not what I would call imperial. You may disagree.

China is in the process of taking over Hong Kong, and they already occupy Tibet, parts of Nepal, and parts of India[3]. They have shown aggression on many disputed borders in the last few years, and they have increased their naval presence in many parts of the world.

We should expect to see Taiwan annexed in the future, per Xi himself, although it's hard to know when or how they'll do it[4].

> in most countries the USA foreign policy isn't seen as something more virtuous than China...on the contrary, it's usually seen as worse. The USA's internal policy (human rights, democracy) is seen as better though

I am from the US and I do realize this. US foreign policy is certainly worse and more deadly than China's, but (as I've said in other comments) the US is not actively taking over new territory.

The two main differences are:

- US foreign policy trajectory is toward fewer wars, partly because we are a democracy and citizens are extremely against starting new wars now; Chinese policy is in the direction of aggression

- the US is not a dictatorship capable of ethnic genocide (at least in the modern era)

IIRC, it was because they opted for 8k ROM instead of 4k (or perhaps 4k instead of 2k?). Whatever the choice, it was definitely a big difference.
Does the method whereby they circumvent the T2 security enclave work on Intel-based Macs? I have a 2018 Mac mini which I would love to repurpose with Linux once the end-of-life support stage is reached.
> Search for "accountability software", and you'll find apps advertised in a very similar manner

I googled a bit and found [1] and [2]. Their marketing is very very different from yours [3].

[1] looks very tasteful, considering they are basically spyware. It's a very positive spin with great copywriting.

[2] gives me some Christian vibes, it's not for me, but it still looks decent.

[3] on the other hand just looks really creepy. The copy is awkward and the hectic GIF with the screenshots and the bikini picture just gives me stalker vibes.

It's a question of taste. Great Mac and iPhone are done very tastefully. Truple is missing that.

(That doesn't mean that Apple only approves tasteful apps. There are a lot of poorly designed apps on the app store. But if you are doing something even slightly questionable, and your app looks a bit creepy, then Apple is not going to go out of their way to help you get it out there, even if you aren't breaking any explicit rules.)

Yes but why? I mean why bother when it feels like trying to move rocks alone and even if you do you won't get recognition in any form. What can you do if the org just does not get it?

I think moving away makes more sense personally.
I think the article is overstating the scope of the coalition a bit. If I understand correctly, it's talking about the format and transportability of the cap table, but not doing anything to change how broadly a company will choose to make the cap table available. So not really transparent, but more importantly avoiding vendor lock-in.
I’d second this, there’s also a whole lot of cool products written in C/C++ that people tend to overlook. A lot of audio related software if you’re interested in music production.
They're also more restricted than your app (one of them only works if you load the app by resetting the phone in iTunes; another always blurs screenshots; another only records screenshots from their own browser app).

I think you're doing something the App Store simply doesn't want you to be doing, and it's hard to fault them for that.
I admire its purity.

> Does anyone have a sense of who they sold this to and who used this particular 0-click exploit?

From the article:

No surprise there as she is one of the ones that has made a lot of money on trades. Especially her husband who seem to have a sixth sense on when to trade...

Maybe an alright ban isn't "fair" but then the SEC should have the power to look very closely at possible insider trading. This also include insights into closed hearings that produced information that was traded on.

However, a ban would be so much easier, yet we all know their spouses/friends will do the trades instead.

I guess the only real solution would be term limits making this a temporary thing.
They're really weird and lots of them are gay so the social mechanisms that stop us giving groups a lot of shit for no good reason are weaker for them.

This is not a particularly comforting explanation, but I'm unaware of a better one (and I've discussed this with a bunch of smart furry friends over the years).
Look at the MacOS app.
I think the point was, simply pointing out flaws is an activity that requires very little effort. A more laudable activity is to provide a better way or work toward making an improvement.
Anybody figure out why the twitter account that was tracking her trades got banned?

To be honest, I don’t believe you. “Our app will only be used by people on themselves in order to change their own behavior” is a wildly implausible use case to focus on for what is effectively spyware.

My takeaway is that I’m beginning to think that Apple was correct in blocking your app.

They weren't downvoted for your defense; they were downvoted for belittling everyone else on the thread, which is straightforwardly against the HN guidelines, which you can read via the link at the bottom of the page.

I see a lot of people here who are critical of the app you're trying to sell but also doing their best to be helpful. If you're looking for a cheering section, you're probably not going to find it here; you asked a question in your post, and it is being answered, thoughtfully and thoroughly.

> Ours was for regualtory compliance -- a legal obligation for cannabis businesses.

Cannabis businesses are illegal to operate in the United States, where Apple resides. Possession and distribution of cannabis is a federal felony in all 50 states and US territories.

This is an issue with the United States, not with Apple.

The lack of side loading is an Apple issue, but if you are going to make that argument (and you should!) then the cannabis app rejection is a red herring.

It goes in to deep detail on a handful of Atari games, and discusses the tricks and hacks the programmers used. If you're in development now and grew up on these games, it's a great book.
This can be somewhat resolved, if the engineers working on the model are required to do 1% of labeling.
You have to install Windows or none of the benchmarks are meaningful. That's a showstopper for me. Forums say installing linux on there is an undertaking and you end up with critical drivers still not working (Mic, etc).

Who knows when a random driver stops working due to a kernel patch.
I've been pretty impressed with my Framework so far. 64GB ram and it runs Ubuntu perfectly. Only thing missing is a dGPU and maybe a bigger battery.
Apple hasn't seen fit to do that for their own data center parts yet (hence the job postings for qemu-kvm, and the xcode cloud running on x86_64 in a VM).

I don't think data center parts are on their radar at all.
I assume you're talking about eshell and not vterm.
You aren't ANYTHING. You are not your job or your skills.

Trust your gut. You've been busy with other things, and you have fallen behind as a developer. That doesn't mean you are worthless or unable to improve again. It just means you need to be humble and have a plan to improve as a coder.

The only way to improve consistently I have seen is to seek feedback from peers. Seek out a trusted colleague and ask to pair program for a while. Submit PRs early and often, and get early feedback.

I know a lot of people who would never admit they are struggling, and just say everyone else is the problem.
> install it on their children's phones without consent

That's a curious phrasing. Are you implying a parent needs consent from their minor child to install something, anything they deem appropriate, on "their" phone?
This might be true in this case since the father was a Silicon Valley engineer. Stepping back, however, and I hate to be that guy, but your statement is "dripping with privilege", as the kids say nowadays. I can tell you that my parents would have not been able to say that, as they worked in manual labor jobs which damaged their bodies in order to provide me with the opportunity to study instead of work.

As a second point, reincarnation is a common religious concept, and there could very well be another exciting life after this one (although you probably shouldn't peg any plans on that).

2 TB of NVME storage is little more than $200 off-the-shelf. 64 gigs of DDR4, high-bandwidth laptop memory costs ~$250. Even assuming Apple is springing for high-quality, high-speed RAM, $800 borders on insanity when other laptops offer similar configuration options at less than half the price. Apple's price gouging in this department is well-documented, I don't think I need to argue with HN users about that.
It probably represents 8-10 months of infrequent nights and weekends. I originally wrote a proof of concept in 2016 and finally picked it back up and polished it for release a couple months ago. The .NET ecosystem is in much better shape now than it was in 2016. This is all WinForms; Microsoft has done a good job of bringing support for WinForms into the latest platform. Supporting high-DPI was unpleasant but it is possible in WinForms.
You can't control TCP very well, and you can't do anything about head-of-line blocking. So yes, for lots of circumstances it's easy to beat TCP. Importantly, a custom protocol over UDP can do things that are incompatible with 30 year old TCP implementations.

And you don't need hardware optimization until you're getting into many gigabits per second.
Yes, that's what the definition I quoted said.

It takes a host more work that this theatre of seed-saving and mud-brick-making to live a secure life. That TED pundit could always simply take a plane back to civilization of the crop failed, if he got sick, if he got bored.

If he'd hit his toe with a hoe while doing that bucolic farming, where would he go? Infection, blood poisoning, fever, amputation or death could result. Not so romantic.
Respectfully, no. The Mac App store is not interesting in this discussion; you can install any app your want on a Mac (not necessarily via the App Store, but that's fine for a number of very big businesses that ship Mac software). What we're interested in here is the iOS App Store, which is the only way to realistically install commercial software on an iPhone.
"The Unix philosophy of “do one thing well” doesn’t actually work that well. Dan Luu explains this better than I could."

The question is, what works better?

Nothing in software development works particularly well. But some things don't work at all.

"TDD/FP/Agile zealots are probably zealots because adopting TDD/FP/Agile/Whatever made them better programmers than they were before. I mean it would be better if they learned TDD/FP/Agile/Whatever without becoming zealots, and incorporated their ideas into an overall synthesis of a nuanced programming philosophy, but I don’t think most people are interested in doing that anyway. Possibly because “synthesizing a nuanced programming philosophy” only matters / is useful to a very small slice of programmers, because it’s honestly a kinda weird thing to expect tens of millions of people to be that weirdly obsessive about their job."

But it's not kinda weird to expect tens of millions of people to behave like zealots of a thing that doesn't work particularly well? (A non-zealot cannot work with a zealot without at least acting like a zealot. The true zealot won't allow it.)
> ... yet also any effort applied to vax kids is kind of a waste as long as old/sick/fat people are dropping like flies and filling the hospitals.

What I want is multiple large files (chunks being individual files in a stream) to arrive one after the other, without re-request gap, and without multiple files hogging bandwidth. (i.e. HTTP/1.1 Pipelining)

It's easy with streaming video, when you can just time the requests at a fixed rate. But for stuff like streaming game assets, you never know how long each download will take. Doing parallel requests will just slow down the time for the first asset to appear, and doesn't guarantee that you fill the bandwidth anyway if the latency is high enough...
This might be a nerd-sniping question because there are lots of reasons and people will fight over which ones are most relevant. e.g. V8, rendering, myriad web protocols, security measures, etc. From my understanding at least.
You seem to be sticking a hood over your eyes and pretending that your app is only used for the most morally sound use cases you can think of. You've written something that enables abusive relationships and helicopter parenting and you should be ashamed.

Absolutely not, and I have no idea why people think it does. It's like there's lithium in the name, so people instantly assume that it makes up a substantial portion of the cost. It does not.

Lithium is cheap, currently lithium hydroxide is at ~30$/kg. Of the total cost of a typical LFP battery, the lithium is ~2%. The rest of the materials round up to ~10%, the bulk of the cost is capital and labor.

I highly recommend reading the Linux kernel management style guide at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/management-st....

It has this gem of a quote:

> It helps to realize that the key difference between a big decision and a small one is whether you can fix your decision afterwards. Any decision can be made small by just always making sure that if you were wrong (and you will be wrong), you can always undo the damage later by backtracking. Suddenly, you get to be doubly managerial for making two inconsequential decisions - the wrong one and the right one.

It goes on to mention that most technical decisions fall inline as small changes and why.
It would mean that a large class of problems that have solutions that can be verified quickly can be solved quickly. Which cuts both ways.

While that means most protocols used for cryptography would need to be replaced (hashing, digital signatures, etc) it also means other combinatorics algorithms (traveling salesman, protein structure prediction) would become solvable which may been boon for logistics and/or computational science.

(I think this is correct) If P=NP there will still be intractable problems; they would be ones where the solutions can't be verified in polynomial time... along the lines of verifying the solution is correct is as complicated as brute forcing the solution.

Note: it's been a while since my computation theory class. ;) I am reading over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem and relearning the fine house of cards theoreticians have divided this problem into. There is a "consequences of P=NP" towards the bottom that sums it up better than I can.
