> It blows my mind that she was found guilty for defrauding investors, but not guilty for defrauding patients about their test results.

Not excusing it. But maybe the jurors think the doctors and/or insurance companies ordered/interpreted these tests have some responsibilities too?
Rogan guests aren’t as diverse as the general hype for his podcast indicates. The number of right leaning guests is so much more than left leaning guests. Unless things have changed, even far right guests are equal to or more than left guests.

This is only a portion of Rogan guests of course. Not all are political, in any way. Though guests like MMA ones don’t have much to do with CNN/FOX/MANBC/CNN since that’s not something they really cover.

Sure, this has a timestamp before yours and a large conversation.
(not the OP) Do you want to point to anything that is only half true? I similarly choose to defend China against lazy characterizations that they can only steal what westerners design for them, and it's not because I want the communist party to succeed, I don't. Why are you so sure what you've read about China reflects the situation better? I have visited factories in Shenzhen and Shanghai, I am impressed by what they have accomplished, and I believe the people in this thread do themselves a disservice by having such a tainted picture of their fellow human beings.
I recall lots of doubt about Theranos from the beginning, especially due to the board composition.
I enjoyed the comment by dlisboa:

> So, it's a health testing company that will keep all my blood-related health information and make it "actionable", with the backing of James Mattis, William Perry and none other than Henry Kissinger. There are more soldiers in that board there than doctors.

> The only way I'd give them my blood would be to infect them with a disease.

23 minutes old, 21 points, zero comments - I've been on HN for a bit now and this is the first time I've seen something pop off of new without at least a discussion starting. Seems slightly suspicious, at least to me.
The biggest problem with shared hosting is security. It's common for everyone's processes to run as the same "www-data" user. It can be made secure, but it isn't common and most shared hosting is powered by off-the-shelf piles of shit like cPanel which are Swiss cheese when it comes to security.

All of these silver folks sound like nutcases. The amount of conspiracy thinking in this article, without evidence, is wild.
It reminds me of Neil Stephenson's "rod logic" (which is not really expanded upon) in the Diamond Age.
It is funny how dream-like deep learning produced content can get. Like how in https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/, you will sometimes find someone wearing a cap which looks like it has a logo but it's just a jumble of nonsense, like when you try to read text in a dream.

If it can happen in a lab studying an existing type, it can happen in labs studying GoF. The 1977 pandemic was a "leak" of sorts that seems to have originated from a prisoner camp known to give reduced sentence times to inmates willing to participate in medical research. The "leaking" doesn't have to happen from a vial or mouse, the avenues are numerous (Marburg "leaked" when African green monkeys, imported for non-viral research, were handled incorrectly without infectious precautions).

> But of an already existing virus, so not so bad.

Millions of drivers every day. Hundreds of accidents. Many quite light. Still, the presence of light accidents outlines the possibility of heavy ones. And that's why "phew, got lucky this time" should lead to better protection not a "not so bad, nothing happened" attitude, IMHO.

At least for me it's taking a bit to fully unravel what is actually going on, and whether or not there is any validity to the claim. The linked article is fairly long, and even it doesn't have all of the context.
While I've taken an intro to economics class, I've also taken Chinese bullet trains across the country, something I sadly cannot say for America. There are few metrics where they are somehow behind us in proficiency.
and even if i have the passion, if i don't get paid for doing it i won't have the opportunity to do it. i keep hearing how companies like google don't reward maintenance work because it doesn't produce shiny new features and doesn't get noticed by the higher-ups.

This is amazing. I can't wait until this is used to dub TV shows, so we get the original actors' voices, especially for shows like Squid Game that had such terrible dubs.
Seems like the whole finance industry continues to cheat until they get caught. Why wouldn’t they after that 2008 when everyone lost all their money and they got massive taxpayer dollars??

The descent into naked oligarchy continues.
There has been a few posts recently on HN where people tell us about their success with side projects/small products that actually make them a decent living. It's inspiring to say the least.

What's most attractive to me is the claim that the creators now spend little to no time on maintaining or fixing the products, and it just sits there and makes money. Is this actually a realistic representation? If I just think about the projects that I maintain(ed), there's almost always something to do, something to fix, some library or tech that's been deprecated/patched etc etc. The idea of just creating a product (let alone a few) that just "works" nowadays and requires minimum attention is pretty mind-blowing.

Does anyone have any advice/books/resources on creating such products?
Probably the most interesting paragraph of the article to me was:

>The seriousness of this issue is rooted in the scale of the numbers. If Bank of America is short 800 million oz of silver, as the data in the OCC report strongly suggests, then that means every dollar higher in the price of silver translated into an $800 million open (unrealized) loss. Every $10 move equates to an $8 billion loss. A hundred dollar move higher from here equates to an $80 billion loss. Can BofA fund such losses or will taxpayers be called upon to bail the bank out? Even the slightest hint of such a development should be enough to require immediate clarification from the regulators and BofA and there’s a lot more than the slightest hint in the OCC report.
We have a number of open positions including Software Engineers, Fullstack, Front-end, Product Designers/Managers, Data gurus and iOS/Android experts. shane.sale.ext@getmoss.com
It's just economies of scale at play. When it comes to food it makes perfect sense. Gov policy is not about farmers, its about keeping food supply plentiful and prices low. Big Ag are better at absorbing shocks. People can complain about profits and wages because we have never had to worry about famine.
That art style is really getting out of hand- didn't alphabet corporation just come out with campaign using those?
I’m just having trouble figuring out the article at all.

Having said that, some articles are a bit slow on comments, I don’t find that odd.
Alternatively, there were retirement funds and real people whom she defrauded, some of which needed that money to live on and now do not have it. Strong punishments befit serious crimes. More than 140 million defrauded counts as serious. Maybe she shouldn't have broken the law?

Besides, she can likely get probation with good behavior after a decade or two of time served.
I remember my ex Manager who was from MIT taking the name of Theranos before it was in the news for all things bad and how they are revolutionizing healthcare. Looks like hype is how the whole thing is depending on.

Even so much so I can’t find shows I saw ads for in 2017 or 2018 even existing because they were so bad. It makes me feel the Mandela effect is happening.
I don't go to the local farmer's market because it's too political, but supermarket eggs here are often under $1.00/dz (presumably sold as a loss leader) and the most expensive "certified pasture raised" eggs are about $6/dz.
I'm pretty sure the majority of countries can. We're talking 90s-era infrastructure that costs less than a single modern passenger airplane to build and run.

Governments can subsidize their use in local industries or even build the infrastructure themselves doing what many governments already do with power, telecommunications, and transport.
At the moment the price of silver is $21.18 and seems to be slowly dropping. BoAs bet seems to be moving to break even.

Silver at most moves small amounts, not "hundreds".
This comment pretty much sums up the idea of Go — it's a perfect language for those who haven't looked into anything else that's been available for the past fifty years. If you think that sum types is an "advanced feature" that puts additional "cognitive overhead", it may be perfect for you. I think iota puts much more overhead and adds a need to have oversight where there should be none. If your idea of less cognitive overhead if doing compiler's work for it, well, good for you. There are some exceptions among talented and well-educated developers who seem like it, I know, but those seem to be exceptions.
Silver is currently ~$22 / ounce. Is a hundred dollar move really a realistic outcome?
Also very curious about this. I went to his websites with the goal of finding out how I could give him money. It was incredibly difficult for Visa List - and all I got to was a buymeacoffee page that couldn't possibly be the only source of income. If OP is making money off of these from users then they could make way more by having an obvious CTA in the nav to give him money.

I can see the government banning using voice as a password. I can't see it banning the tech. The criminals will use the tech regardless of if it's banned. Looks like we'll need person to person authentication for our relatives soon.

I also recall a lot of bullishness especially due to the board. The idea of getting in on war profiteering and inflated government contracts made a lot of mouths water.
Neat.

There are some RSS feeds with non-trivial html markup in them. How do you deal with them?

Thanks for sharing this update and being so transparent about your earnings! I've found your posts inspiring and it's great to know your projects continue to grow.
But, the point is it was growling so fast you wouldn't expect it to show up in other places until the "knee" of the exponential showed up there as well. SA being just a couple of weeks ahead is a lifetime for Omicron.
It's also likely that if it's from a big processor (e.g. Tyson) that it has been washed in bleach to kill bacteria. This may make for safer food but it certainly leaves an aftertaste.

While that is true, it is also true that the law must be fairly enforced on everyone. Having some people receive lighter sentences for similar-in-intent but larger-in-scale crimes is not fair enforcement.

The statistics are inconsistent and not comparable. Spotify is global. Nielsen is the US and only for watching on your TV. Not sure if it’s for watching literally on your TV or also includes watching via your cable tv app on smart tv or mobile devices.

If major clips of any of those channels/shows get millions of views on YouTube every episode, that is not counted. Same if any of this stuff have their own podcasts.
One question I have about this approach: if I temporarily include a security token in one of my files, will that get included in the temporary commits? And if so, how can I make sure that particular piece of history never makes it off my dev machine?

The jaded view on this would be that we should then serve justice from the bottom-up, rather than pretending to be reformative to let another privileged, white criminal get off easy while not fundamentally changing anything. I can't say I disagree too much with it either. There is no indication that widespread reform in the justice system is impending, or that starting here and now would have a cascading effect leading to a better, less vengeful system for everyone.
I completely agree; nothing here is conclusive at all. I just can't stand flippant statements like, "the data is clear," when it isn't, at all. Those kinds of people are directly contributing to the social divide about science.
I disagree that no one is leaving, however the more pertinent question is about who is not joining.

In practice, for where the money goes and what the CCP can block Taiwan right now isn't part of China. That seems like a situation that could change in the near future and the West should plan for.
Again: it's not the interests of the dead. Those posthumous interests are priced into fees the authors collect in life. The proceeds of those interests don't just pay the original authors; they also subsidize future bets on other authors.
True, and there are chemistry tests that would probably be reasonably testable. For instance, blood glucose is already testable from a finger prick, so that’d be just fine. Still, a lot of people with the background to have informed opinions have spoken up to say that some of her claims weren’t possible on a theory basis, not just because of an engineering challenge.
It depends on how big the silver market is compared to 800 million ounces. If someone with no short exposure and lots of money starts buying it, and BofA has to cover their shorts, then something like Gamestop will happen and a major bank will blow up.

The silver market has been cornered before, in the 1980s, quite famously, in an event that moved the price by a factor of ten (order-of-magnitude).

Better documentation (I'm pretty sure the latest official documentation from gnu/as is from like 2009), packages on all distros & *nix flavors: linux, deb/rpm-based, freebsd, etc. And also why not a lot of people use it.I think gnu/as has a bit better tooling,more flags, etc., but that's quickly changing.
This is a great overview, but there is a big gap between the narrative style overview here and the technical details of the proof in the paper. The conclusion is in very vague terms ("far fewer integers"):

Helfgott and Radziwiłł’s solution to the logarithmic Chowla conjecture marked a significant quantitative improvement on Tao’s result. They could sample over far fewer integers to arrive at the same outcome: The parity of the number of prime factors of an integer is not correlated with that of its neighbors.

It would be really interesting to have a commentary to go along with the proof to help bridge this gap. This could explain why choices are made in the proof and help to visualise the implications.

This article comes close in some ways, for example with the examples regarding multiplicativity of the Liouville function. OK, it is a 100 page paper, so understanding the details of the proof is going to be tough. It would still be fun if there was a way as an interested reader to step up from reading this type of article to at least understanding the abstract of the paper.

My understanding is that (at least for Himawari-8) it is geostationary at a high enough altitude (apogee and perigee) that it should be good for at least a few decades - apparently you actively have to boost geostationary satellites out to a retirement orbit so they don't crowd up the prime real estate.

That said, the imaging sensors have a limited lifetime (the satellite platform is designed to be good for ~15 years but the sensor package limits the mission lifetime to 8 years).

Where to even begin with this. I'm unfairly biased because I misread what he said? After re-reading, I can see that he may not have been making the point I thought he was making. I'd argue he should make a point like that more clear, but fine, it's on me that I misinterpreted.

> the hysteria on HN is ridiculous.

"Hysteria"? How do you get hysteria from my response? Because I asked for citations for what I thought was an extreme claim?

> At least read the damn thing

I did. Reading it was a pre-requisite for posting my response, which cited specific links he included.

> and try to be objective about it.

Asking for high quality sources was my attempt to be objective.

Edit: Actually, you know what, I take it back. If you write a sentence like this, it's on you if it's misinterpreted:

"For example, we know that the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 leaked out of a lab in Taiwan in late 2021."

Heck, I'm not even sure it wasn't the author's intent at this point.
Same reaction. At first I thought I was reading something about small websites and wresting control from centralized cloud and social media companies, and suddenly it turns into something about some JS package? Tangling with anything JS does not strike me as the simplest way to host your own small site.
> I've also taken Chinese bullet trains across the country, something I sadly cannot say for America

But exercising centralized control while eliminating internal dissent through propaganda or ignoring it because dissenters are effectively disenfranchised, as much as it's a thing many people in the US would love to do, isn't one of the things we outsource to China (neither, viewing the same claim through a different lens, is physical Infrastructure in the US.) So, to the extent that that story reflects something they genuinely have absolute advantage in, it's not really relevant to the “why do we go to them for the things we go to them” for. Heck, a lot of the things we have gone to them for, like low-cost manufacturing of a variety of goods, are moving out from China to other places as they develop just as they moved out of more developed places to China, because with more development comes higher proficiency in areas that less developed states can't substitute for at all, so comparative advantage leads to them getting more of the things they can do, even if they aren't great at them on an absolute scale.

I tried it. For various reasons, it isn’t _quite_ there.

It doesn’t build a .app bundle, which means that it can’t have a proper distribution with appropriate signing &c. that would give it access to various macOS features. It doesn’t have a menu (which _does_ matter).

It doesn’t have a "release" build since May 2020, meaning that the only way to get a meaningful build is to build it yourself (not a big deal, but still).

It doesn’t render fonts correctly, especially on macOS: https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/1096, https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/589 (although it may be related to how font names are resolved, https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/776; https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/1057 seems to resolve it), https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/851, https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/283.

The last appears to be fixed, but the former two are problematic from my perspective as a replacement for MacVim.app.
