Companies don't invest off their stock price, they invest off their balance sheet, or by borrowing money. All these companies have plenty of cash at hand and can borrow at historically low rates.

Venture capital investment is flashy and gets the press, but there's lots of other money that wants more predicable returns. There was around $600B of VC invested in 2021, but Intel alone has $23B cash on hand, and US pension funds alone (which traditionally invest in safe sectors) has over $35T in management.
I think in some case un-necessary and costly procedures were performed as some of the test were inaccurate.
You actually can't mix hardware tokens and OTP apps. You're only option is to scan the code twice and skip hardware tokens entirely (which is quite reasonable, as the recovery for an app would be easier than for a failed/lost hardware token).

Note, though, that the new SSO login actually supports MFA in a normal way.
The length can be debated, but jail wastes the most priceless resource you have - time. That’s why it’s a punishment.
That technique is beautiful! And the results are as good as I would expect, once you’ve given the compiler the information it needs to do a good job.

Does AWS require distinct billing accounts for each project? I use GCP, I can attach the same account to multiple projects. (It also lacks this basic billing limit feature, unfortunately.)
I don't think so. If the problem is people gaming the system, making it easier to game isn't going to improve the situation. It's not going to put good content creators on a level playing field with spammers, because good content creators simply don't care as much as spammers about search engine gaming.
Right, but if someone buys say a shirt with your stolen card, it isn’t the store that picks up the bill. It’s the credit card company.

This makes for so much cleaner articles. It's actually a bit similar to what waitbutwhy.com is doing with tooltips.

It might have some negative SEO implications (if you're worried about that) because if you hide a lot of content like that it could potentially be seen by search engines as keyword stuffing[0]. But if SEO is a secondary concern (which it should be for reasonable people not obsessed about rankings) then this is an excellent solution. Would love to see this more widely adopted.

Should I just rewrite and host stuff like S3, RDS, ECS, Route53, Cloudwatch, Cloudfront, Lambda, etc. just because I want a spending limit?

Your argument makes no sense at all. You may feel like using production-ready hosted cloud services and still want a spending limit. Renting a single VPS might not solve all your issues.
I was living in Ireland for a little while and wanted to watch Game of Thrones. At the time, piracy was literally the only possible way to watch it; there was no legal avenue whatsoever (including purchasing cable from HBO, etc) that included it.

Netflix doesn't let regular people upload to it. And the rest of them combined are probably about 10% of YouTube's size, and network effects matter.
Depends on your needs, scale and experience. If the product doesn't suit you, it's worthless (or very expensive depending on perspective).

If you just want 'a server', then AWS isn't the place to go to.

To elaborate a bit more: I tend to draw the line on IaC. For example: if you're doing GitOps with Terraform and Atlantis, then go for AWS. If not, you're probably not at the point where it makes sense anyway.
Your comments in regard to this case are right but our justice system does not work well. People who can afford lawyers do much better than those who can’t.
I saw this with other parents when my son was small. So. Much. Confirmation. Bias.

I bought a copy of SimAnt and caught my sisters playing it. I didn't think it was fair that I had paid for it but they were playing for free so one of my dad's friends showed me how to rename the main executable and put a .bat file in that would check that the first argument matched an expected value (to "password protect" it)
Read what I wrote carefully. I was not interested in 0 sugar. Only zero added sugars. I don't add honey to everything, besides.
For one thing, because he's the author of this pretty famous post:

https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc...

For another, because the guidelines are pretty specific in this case --- that 2B1.1 crimes are charged according to --- well, here's the wording from the guidelines: "the applicable base offense level is determined by the count of conviction that provides the highest statutory maximum term of imprisonment.". So "3x20" seems off the table.

>I haven’t heard a super convincing argument as to why something I make should ever revert to public domain, especially while I’m alive

Overlong copyright terms lead to what we have now, where digital libraries either ignore copyright law (libgen, scihub), or have the best features of ebooks (easy copying and transmission, access from all regions of the world, unlimited simultaneous readers, etc.) crippled by DRM, or have limited collections of works by living authors, or are locked behind paywalls (Elsevier.)

Copyright law could provide a time-limited monopoly on copying that is a reasonable balance of public benefit with incentives for authors to create additional works, but currently it does not and harms both purposes.

I expect many authors are less concerned with verbatim copies of their works being distributed than for derivative works or adaptations being distributed. Perhaps copyright should be split a bit more finely.
Dance Language of the Honey Bee
There's still a lot they could do around that though, e.g. requiring that billing details be re-entered upon change or sending an email alerting the user with instructions to secure the account if it was not authorized.
I'm not a 0 sugar person. I just try to reduce added sugars.
Heh “should”
Yes, the guidelines are kind of explicit about this for basic economic crimes. Ken White's the lawyer, though, not me!

They're actually even more specific for fraud cases, beyond the general 2B1.1 basic economic crime rule of sentencing according to the most severe count; for fraud, you apparently sum up all the losses from all the counts, which has the net effect of bumping Holmes up 2 additional levels.
Oversimplified and overdramatized. Sugar does not cause weight gain on its own.
A comment on the article's video had two interesting points:

> There is linear stress problems that can occur, a single "activation" line (clock signal through a train of locks) can eventually reach a point that the mechanism will be unable to move at all.

You can see an example of that long single activation line in this gif http://www.merkle.com/images/4_phase_shift_register_v4.gif and described in more detail in this part of the video: https://youtu.be/yVX9Ob4SjGA?t=769. I was surprised this wasn't explicitly addressed in the talk. Transistors aren't just powerful because they can be off or on (switch) but also because they can amplify signals (a lever).

Edit: The paper does address this in section 4.5, saying that "The method for dealing with scaling is to isolate individual cells in a shift register (or more generally, individual clocked logic elements, such as Fredkin gates) by using the four-phase clock. That is, forces along signal lines cannot move beyond two cells before encountering a locked lock, preventing any accumulation of forces over long distances. At any point in time, a cell is either blocked from transmitting forces to adjacent cells, or can transmit forces only to one other cell (either the predecessor or the successor)" and "Force accumulation in link logic systems can be mitigated because each lock acts as a mechanical amplifier, with a small force controlling a much larger one."

> I'm really loving the idea of mechanical logic gates and computers... it's far easier to produce in 3D print, which will be vital in space exploration and colonization.

Question is, what additional primitives are needed to construct all the primitives (locks and balances) from a bin of links and rotors? Maybe a "lifter" that raises a hinge pin out of 2D plane so it can be placed in a rotor.
Good point. I am always wondering what kind of things it can be useful for, as when I made it usefullness was low on my list.
You can create rootless organisation-managed child accounts. This is a solved problem.
AFAIK the premise of the myth is that the first two tires broke. If only one tire broke I think you can plausibly drive the car without any modifications by shifting weight away from the flat tire.
Sure, but if the precedent isn’t generating justice, then it’s worth considering alternatives. There is no holy scripture which says proof beyond a reasonable doubt is the correct way to run a justice system.
I cannot find the link now, but there is great one page graph / chart that shows all the categories of Craigslist that have been cloned/displaced by start-ups. Does anyone have a link to that report?
It just seems arbitrary. I'd prefer we get rid of cows (14.5% global CO2) before we get rid of bitcoin. At least blockchains don't feel pain...
Java and C++ won the lottery. It is far too early to tell whether Rust will, or will sink out of sight, like Ada. History predicts the latter.
You appear to be correct.

"Handbook on Natural Pigments in Food and Beverages"

Chapter 14 - Feed Additives for Influencing Chicken Meat and Egg Yolk Color

Pigmentation of egg yolks and poultry tissues (mainly skin and fat) directly reflects the contents of carotenoids in the feed of birds. In most countries of the world, consumers prefer pigmented egg yolks, whereas pigmented poultry tissues are less desired. Especially in the southern part of Europe, eggs with a golden-orange tone of yolks are preferred. This is achieved by supplementing feeds of birds with both yellow and red carotenoids. For this purpose, nine carotenoids are approved as feed additives in the European Union, five natural and four artificial products, six with a yellow color and three with a red color. This chapter describes the ways of pigmenting egg yolks and poultry tissues, how to measure the achieved color, the factors affecting the color of the product, the deposition rates of carotenoids, and the contribution of carotenoids in egg yolks to humane intake.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978008100...

Here's one of these products from BASF:

https://nutrition.basf.com/global/en/animal-nutrition/produc...

Poultry cannot produce carotenoids on their own, which is why the color of egg yolks depends on the carotenoids combination in their diets. However, it is not only the quantity of pigments that matters but also their bioavailability and color intensity. With Lucantin® Yellow (C-30 ester) any egg yolk color between light pastel yellow and reddish is possible.

Limiting billing is ambiguous. The computation spent is spent, unless AWS can predict how much you are going to cost by even initiating certain operation, which is not going to be straightforward for all the services they provided.
that's not what I heard on Twitter, from various people who work in hospitals, nor in various news reports.

I'm open minded, but my bullshit detectors started going off around the point where it was casually implied that we all know and it is widely accepted that delta was leaked from a lab. I tried googling it but could find nothing. Then I looked at the two sources the author links:

> https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4371212

> https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4382708

Neither of these have nearly enough evidence or support for such a massive claim (the second doesn't even mention delta), as far as I can tell, and I can find no other reputable sources that make a similar claim. Heck, I can't even find un-reputable ones that mention this.

Am I missing something? I'm not going to continue with the article if this is how flimsy the sourcing is.
FYI getting a certificate error there.
No, that's why it would be silly to have to change it for every account. (and also problematic for a team with a bunch of child accounts to then have to gain access to the org's card or something like that to change settings for their childs)

> It's not just that newer nodes are overkill, it's that auto components apparently have very long and expensive validation requirements, which would be another explanation for why they are still depending on these older manufacturing processes.

Also, if you're on a 7nm process, odds are there's not a decent way to e.g. drive the transistors for your power window actuator. Samsung's 7nm process has an 3 sigma intrinsic breakdown voltage around 4.8V, which precludes any kind of 5V tolerance and driving 2.5Vt power FETs.

Little 3V3, 5V tolerant microcontrollers are good for a lot of things, and they belong on bigger process. While 10nm might be able to do it, there's not really transistors for it in most libraries.

Not that weird:

"Since the US-China trade and technology confrontation spilled into public view in 2017, most of the attention has centered on trade conflict and the US campaign against Huawei, China's 5G leader and its most important global technology company. But recent US actions involving semiconductors present a more fundamental problem for China. Efforts to cut off the supply of cutting-edge semiconductors to Huawei and to encourage the construction of advanced chip factories on US soil have drawn the semiconductor industry into the US-China technology cold war, raising the stakes in the countries' trade and technology conflict."

Here's a fourth factor: people upvoting before reading it (but possibly after skimming it or being aware of it's context) in order to keep it highly ranked (which is score + time sensitive) in order to trigger HN discussing the subject. I was in that camp before it got flagged.
They bill by the request or minute for most of the services. Billing for storage is a little more complicated, but many services could easily be limited.

While this is mostly correct, it is worth noting that FPGAs are mostly 28nm and 20nm processes, and have just started shipping on 16nm[1]. That doesn't require state of the art. The FPGA market is comparatively small though so doesn't affect the market dynamics much.

I don't think there should be a limit, but if we're going to treat things as property, let's also tax them as property. If you're willing to pay property taxes for 95 years, it's all yours. If not, it becomes public domain.

I'd also make the tax progressive over time, starting with zero for the first few years (basically to give the author some time to market it), and then gradually rising.

What's the justification for taxing it? Well, just as physical property is a monopoly on exclusive use of some thing, copyright is a monopoly on exclusive use of some information. Both take something out of the commons, and yet both also depend on the commons to actually enforce this monopoly and profit from it. It stands to reason that the commons should be compensated.
Without wanting to or being able to contradict the article, some of it sounds like the creationists.
Because we cannot fully explain evolution, we do not know all the ancestors and the result is so complex, there must be a creator.

Thank you so much for this comment/analysis. I do intend to work more on performance this year but it's good to hear some people are having a performant experience as is. I actually did try and keep my React "clean" and performant, but I know there are places to improve. The wallpaper does indeed seem like the biggest issue. I may need to consider just a static if I detect performance issues, although that can be hard to detect.

Thanks for noticing the detail, I spent quite a bit of time trying to get as much details and features as I could. Now for this year I want to make it more robust and take all the feedback I've got to make it even better.
My impression is that the defense put the onus on the lab directors etc and that she didn't know what was going on. I don't buy that, but the jury is supposed to go on only evidence presented at the trial, so I guess the defense did a good job.

Again hate to be the 'listen to a 3 hour podcast' guy but it was really interesting and a better format for this subject than essays or back-and-forth in blog posts where people tend to talk past each other- transcript is available on Spotify so probably can find it elsewhere as well.

If she gets anything less than life in prison, it will effectively answer the question of "how many years of prison would you do for a billion dollars?". I'm guessing an absolute max of 5 in a minimum security white collar facility.
I’m no expert in the area but if I wanted something that was lower variance/expense than a software startup and that might be doable on just $500K, I’d do research on something like a pizza joint, a diner, or maybe a franchise food service place. (Looks like Subway is one of the cheaper franchise food service places to open.)

In this case, I’m assuming your real prize is the green card, not the actual business, as I’d way rather have $500K of VOO or VTSAX than 2 Subway franchises.

For example: [1] - I'd expect the clock to be circular instead of oval?

Seriously. The incentive for these researchers is awful. Their goal is to take a virus that maybe isn’t a threat and find a way to manipulate it to see how it could be a threat if it somehow naturally mutated into some specific otherwise engineered form. It’s the only way to justify their job. No one will subsidize researchers who come up with “nothing to see here”.
