Back then, decent sound coming out of a PC was still pretty novel; you could still buy a PC that had no sound capability other than the click/beep speaker. Why not showcase the awesome new multimedia capabilities than a nice startup sound?

In your case, the likely reason is because the DRM is done in software and not hardware, making it easier to crack, and Disney as a policy avoids their highest resolution content going through software decoding.

I wonder if this will continue though. As some of the other comments point out, Apple stock has increased by 400% over the past 5 years, it's difficult to imagine that it will keep "popping" like this over the next 5 years.
1 μs is less than 1000 μs. (And, yes, also they are probably not made in the US.)
True. And I guess that's the only way LastPass could be certain these passwords have been reused (assuming everything else works as they say). If they did that, then IMO it would be very nice of them to point out which dump(s) these passwords were found in.

I don't believe this happened though.

I'm by no means a physics historian. I'm pretty sure quantum physics pissed off Einstein so much he spent the rest of his career trying to refute it. "God does not play dice with the universe". I'm just some jackass on the internet, so I'll leave it to Hawking to talk about emotional attachment to determinism https://www.hawking.org.uk/in-words/lectures/does-god-play-d...
The primary advantage for me is simplicity. Case insensitive file systems are complicated when you start dealing with non-ASCII characters and different software implementing the case rules with subtle differences. With case sensitive file systems you know exactly what you get.
Never cross a river 4-ft deep on average.

That 1ºC over normal is the yearly average global temperature. It doesn't increase evenly over the globe (in the arctic has been over 4ºC, a region where permafrost thawing and ice melting will worsen the problem) and is causing extreme weather events all around the world. Temperature don't uniformly rise by 1ºC evenly all days, for all regions, nice and slowly, but you have weeks with over 40ºC or extreme sub zero temperatures, droughts and floods caused by big storms, hurricanes and so on.

And with more global average temperature you will have even more extreme weather. With wet bulb temperatures you can have a lot of deaths of people that won't see how "the average" will eventually bring colder days.

And it is not a sustained speed change. Positive feedback loops are triggered, adding emissions, reducing Earth's albedo, causing forest fires and so on that will speed up things even if we stop doing emissions.

And remember that are not emissions the ones that are directly rising temperature, but decades of excess of greenhouse gases that keep more heat than what we emit. And that we only stop worsening things by the time we manage to reduce what is in the atmosphere (not just what we keep adding). If somewhat things get rough and we want to drop temperature urgently, dropping by then emissions won't do the trick, we need to capture a century of emitted carbon plus what is being emitted by feedback loops.
Serious question: Who has the time to research all that stuff before buying a 5 euro eSIM? Why bother?

Airalo is legit, whether or not they're "serious" really doesn't matter.
I think this comment might fit what they are talking about - this is all tech concerns and has nothing to do with the why.
>Vaping has reversed 20+ years of anti-smoking efforts in high schools. This is a problem.

Citation needed.

>Vaping is seems safer than smoking but this is medically unproven.

The research is robust enough for the UK to encourage vaping over smoking. Perhaps not being lobbied by big tobacco is the only real difference between the state of public health guidance in both countries.

>Vaping is NOT safer than not-Vaping and not-Smoking.

I’ve yet to meet anyone that has suggested such a thing.

>The vaping companies ran the Big Tobacco playbook to exactly the same effect. It is unsurprising that their opponents are running their playbook to stop them.

Juul, backed by a big tobacco corp has ran their playbook. Can you name a major company that isn’t backed a tobacco company? The cynic in me expects it was to force the public to demand the fda create new regs that can allow big tobacco to catch up and capture the market.

This conversation is also pointless without bringing up the perverse incentives that tobacco taxes have on regulators and politicians. Ending tobacco use is bad for politicians because they’ll need to balance the budget by cutting services and raising taxes on everyone instead of offloading the burden to a marginalized group of disproportionately poor people. Fear mongering about children vaping is a recycled to trick to manufacture consent among the public for extortionate and regressive taxes. Alcohol, gambling and similar taxes are just perverse.
Probably because they have a range they are willing to pay depending on what value the candidate can be assumed to bring to the team.

Agreed, this seems like another article complaining about SF but saying “Bay Area” instead. Most of the complaints here are very specific to SF, especially the usual tropes of violence and poop. Not sure why articles dunking on SF have yo drag the whole bay into it.
I have no idea if this applies to Mr Madden, but sometimes when you become wealthy, you expect people to cater to you and the little people don't matter. "Cutting" line to get to the front wouldn't even seem as a faux pas to them. They just expect to be served with priority.
Yes, there's plenty that could be discussed about how to improve the title / escrow process, in addition to the information collection process... for much of it, it comes down to being a better process than the alternatives, having been refined over decades (or longer).

They are doing the same thing with Fifa, pushing FUT and hoping kids gamble on packs. Gaming isn't about genuine good fun now, it is too focused on milking Mom and Dads wallets. I took a few years off Fifa because it was heading that direction and I knew it was time to retire. Caved in and purchased Fifa 22 last week after a 3 year sabbatical.

My wife: "How's the new game?!?"
Me: "Feels like 2019, I'm not sure what I bought."

I'm officially done with yearly sports releases and I guess that's ok to them because I'm clearly not their target demographic anymore.
I think one criterion could be that you should be able to identify a name by its pronunciation. The same utterance should always refer to the same thing on the computer. When you speak you don't speak line-breaks. By the same logic commas should not be allowed in names. And when you speak we don't typically hear whitespaces either.

By the same logic the whitespace sensitivity of Python is a bad idea. :-)

Insurance is meant to pay out for catastrophic events. It has expanded into silly products like dental insurance which often has caps like “maximum $5,000 lifetime claim for orthodontic”. What it is a basically a savings plan - you and your employer contribute X and the insurer pays out 0.9X in predictable costs.

Insurance is fantastic for personal liability, title insurance, health insurance when you consider the low probability of event ruining you financially.

In terms of helping with regularly occurring costs? No they are terrible.

Linux Fu: Don’t Share Well with Others
Once I travelled in Asia and met someone from Taiwan in a hostel, and there were two things I noticed about him:

1. How much in kind he was with the culture of the Taiwanese immigrants I knew as a white kid going through a diverse school system - all the same little mannerisms and phrases.

2. That he thought it was oddly particular that I specified San Francisco when we discussed our places of origin. But then recalled it as "Old Gold Mountain", the term used by the Chinese who joined in the gold rush. (New Gold Mountain is Melbourne, Australia. Which as it happens is also a gold rush city that turned into a tech center.)

I feel like our ignorance is rather set by preexisting connections or lack thereof, bits of history learned here and there and how our local society positions itself relative to others: surprise at that idea that if people live in a place, it might have the trappings of civilization. On HN it would be strange to be unaware of San Francisco. Someone picked at random from the East Coast cities might think of it as irrelevant(compared to New York, which is actually a surprisingly common comparison). Likewise it doesn't surprise me that some city dwellers see the Midwest as somehow equivalent to the Siberian wilderness.

It really still isn't the norm anywhere to list compensation and I suspect that Y Combinator has the same problems of disparate compensation based on when people joined as any other company. Heck, we are all switching jobs constantly because the new guy got more than we did, despite being the same level and having more experience at the company.

Plenty of companies decided to stop hiring from Colorado rather than post compensation in the job postings.

If I had to guess, I suspect it provides no competitive advantage to list compensation except if you pay top tier.

As an anecdote from a friend, the wage differences can be substantial. The friend just recently got a new job and the senior who mentored him in onboarding also got promoted a level too. That senior was talking about how they finally reached six figures (Canada has much lower pay than the USA, so this isn't crazy). My friend made six figures starting, with 3-5 fewer years of experience and just about two years overall.

There are a lot of absurdly underpaid people out there.
Hi btown, thanks for the Spreedly plug!! I’m Director of Engineering at Spreedly and helped to launch routing capabilities as a engineer and leader. If the OP already has an existing relationship with a gateway(s), we definitely make it easy to integrate with a single API to multiple payment gateways. I’d highly recommend they look at a solution like ours or another provider to work reduce risk in the future.

DRM is to control, that's about it. Whether it's ownership or whatever is already irrelevant. For example DRM can be used to control the market (as an anti-competitive measure).

In practice, DRM never has a good reason.
I thought I addressed exactly that in my original reply It’s not really working if and when once side is incentivized not to pay when they can and are obviously at fault.

Your comment is like saying “yeah that corporation used a natural pond as a toxic waste dump, so what? Corporations are supposed to make a profit, right?” Yes, they are … subject to other social desiderata like respecting others’ rights.

You seem to be attached to some bizarre strawman that the OP was expecting his own liability to cover the other party’s faults. That was never the argument.
The other comments didn't say large parts.

Most businesses only seem to when required. California only requires an employer to provide pay scale (salary or hourly wage, not bonuses or equity) upon request after an initial interview. Colorado requires wage/salary in job listings now. NYC will require a salary range in job postings starting in April 2022 for permanent positions (provided the new mayor doesn't veto it after taking office on Jan 1).
Maybe it's just my outlook - I sit in meetings with adults and have to remind myself that we are all just children in overgrown bodies. Sure, some will have had experiences that have taught empathy, communication, etc, but most of us are still prone to the occasional temper tantrum or emotional outburst. And that's ok. Rather than seeing it in a derogatory way, I think it helps us all stay humble and open minded toward each other. With my kids - they are at an age where they are starting to realize that I'm human, with foibles. Better to admit that and build trust that they should heed my advice anyway, as a more experienced human, than have them distrust out of spite that I'm the parent and they are the teen.
Lawyers can’t represent clients in some small claims courts.

I'd prefer companies not collect data that isn't absolutely essential to provide their service rather than auto-deleting. Especially in today's ransomware world, collecting and storing unnecessary customer data has become a liability, not an asset.
John Madden had dementia so it's entirely possible he just did the same thing every day without even knowing what he was actually doing.

> Since May 2021, people living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump during the last presidential election have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as those who live in areas that went for now-President Biden. That's according to a new analysis by NPR that examines how political polarization and misinformation are driving a significant share of the deaths in the pandemic.

So they're really playing with fire then.

Every year a new crop of kids come of age for the parents to be willing to buy them a game. For the rest, it's a status symbol just like the annual purchase of a new phone. Gotta have the latest player rankings! Like purchasing skins/wardrobe/stickers for in-game use. A whole generation of people that will probably be just fine paying Toyota a monthly fee to use their key FOBs.

That isn't how the algorithms work for front page. Naming it something like this that does show up on the front page only attracts more attention to it as people go "WTF is that?!" as it is unusual and then go and click on it.

“ It seems the same with engineering of all sorts. Love that brilliant code you wrote, love that language you've spent all that time learning, love that system you spent a decade building, love those architectural blueprints you slaved over for six months? If it doesn't work for the problem at hand, it's best to toss it out the window and try something else, and getting emotional about it is a mistake. Equivalently, tossing something that works just because you have antipathy towards it for some reason is not the way to go.”

I am pretty good at this when I can work alone but once you have team members and have to justify things to management it gets increasingly hard.
I don't know of any arbitrary tasks set up by gatekeepers. I mean, people don't just sit around and think up stupid tasks for fun. These jobs usually arise something like this:

In order to process request X, we need pieces of information A, B, C, D. Users frequently send in incomplete information. So we have to hire someone to check that all the required information is provided and accurate.

Yeah, it's kind of bullshit because it wouldn't be needed if people just did the right thing, but people are people, and they don't. In some cases it can be replaced with a web form with proper validation, but sometimes the information is something you can't verify with Javascript (like checking for a valid driver's license or something), so you need a human. So it goes.
There were a few other combinations I wanted to see -- how does docker-to-docker compare with socket communication on the same local machine? I would love to know if there's a difference.

I can think of one. When we write (say "ES6") modules it makes sense that the name of the module-file without extension should be the same as the value exported by that module.

Inside the module you'd prefer to follow conventions like name classes title-case and name functions camel-case.

Thus you might have one module exporting a class named "Camel", and another module exporting a function named "camel". You could then have two files, Camel.js, and camel.js in the same directory, containing two separate programs.

The risk still needs to be accurately determined, even if not for each individual. If 100 people in a population will be injured and get a pay out of $100k, you need to know that to set general rates.

What I’ve seen in places that have government insurance is the government is constantly trying to backstop the insurance.

Why? It becomes a political hot potato when rates go up, so there is pressure to keep them down with lower premiums. The insurance body doesn’t care because the government will bail them out.
> bullshit jobs is a term for jobs that have not yet been automated

Bullshit jobs are jobs that do not produce value
Fiat is created by banks - by originating loans. A bank does not actually need to have that money to create the loan - it is not transferred from somewhere else, it is just that the bank's balance sheet expands. There are rules on how much a bank is allowed to create, as you might imagine.

The BTC system does not create money - you can follow the creation of a coin system to its eventual destruction and discover that exactly the same amount of fiat went into it as came out (less mining). In fact, at any moment in time, the same also holds! If you buy $100 of BTC, somebody somewhere has just sold $100 BTC. No money is ever created or destroyed. Of course (if you were a lunatic), you could get a loan to buy BTC, and so money would be created, but by the banking system, not BTC, and it would go straight to whoever you bought BTC from.

As soon as people decide they don't want to put money in, then no money can come out. You will know this because the 'price' of BTC will be zero.
That's true but it also allows me to look for selection bias in their data.

If I see a paper claiming remarkably good predictive capabilities of (say) the performance of a basic block, and no discussion of it's flaws you bet I'm assuming they didn't test it well enough.
It happened three times this year that I interviewed for companies having only worked a place for one year, and they didn't even mention this factor. Why? In each case because I'd be filling some urgent hole on a team somewhere. I suppose it's kind of like how "cheating on your partner is bad, but your secret lover won't mind"... as long as there's an immediate gain to your coming employer, they'll focus on other things like how good of a personal fit you'd be, and if you know those things that are in the 6-month plan. Some hiring managers are thinking short-term is my experience. And that is, honestly, just as much of a red flag as an interviewee.
I'm not affiliated with YC, but people are not commodities - one person might be a $50,000/yr X, and another person might be a $200,000/yr X. You don't know what kind of person you have until you talk with them.
