China has no access to advanced ASML EUV lithography. Hurting ASML would help domestic Chinese manufacturers relative to Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and the US and elsewhere.

(sabotage has so many other risks that it's not a good idea)
Common sense in politics is also key. My Canadian province grows different crops but potatoes are the big crop here 25% of all potatoes bought in Canada. This summer was perfect and in the fall it was a bumper crop it was amazing. But then two fields out of hundred tested positive for a plant virus called potato wart. It's an ugly fungus on the potato but it's harmless to humans.

There are now millions of pounds of perfectly fine potatoes that can't be sold. The biggest market the US will not buy them. It was just a few potatoes out of millions of pounds. The remaining are for food only and can't grow into a plant.

Even Puerto Rico which buys a lot of potatoes grown here (30%?). They don't grow potatoes in Puerto Rico so a fungus is not a threat. But it is not permitted to buy any potatoes from Canada (archaic shipping laws don't help) but specifically no potatoes from here PEI.

They can't even give them away since it takes too long to ship them and who will pay the labour costs, or the fuel to ship them? They need to be disposed of before they rot.

So even if you as a farmer grow a crop and lots of it there are laws that can ruin your day. And that's after you spent 18 hour days all summer growing a good crop.
Did they have your voice model so easily available, hosted on a poorly secured servers , until you decided to try out this new free toy ?
I had never heard that before either. I remember multiple sources saying the discovery originated in India. I think an essay that represents surprising information as obvious is usually a good indicator of bias.
They weren't really being charged with the stuff about patients, in part I think because the communication between Holmes and investors was direct, whereas Holmes was not personally communicating with the patients. Basically, the prosecutors went for the charges that were easier to prove.

If Theranos still existed as a company, it would doubtless be getting buried under a blizzard of charges relating to how Theranos, the company, treated their patients. One of several reasons why Theranos the company no longer exists.
That's a dangerous gamble which cannot be put back in the box in the event that it fails to be less dangerous. Like throwing a enormous amounts of sulfur in the atmosphere to take out CO2. It's the sort of decision that would have to be taken by isolated group or nation on behalf of the rest of humanity despite potentially catastrophic unintended consequences. Maybe the result will be that it's a "less dangerous than Delta collective immunizer", but I wouldn't be thrilled if it's an intended variant (even if a lab leak isn't much more reassuring).

I'm also unclear how such researchers could come to the conclusion that it is less dangerous and more contagious with humanized mice considering it is the result (AFAIU) of it contaminating and replicating in the airways rather than the lungs. I'd be curious for someone more informed than me (an ecologist with very superficial understanding of viruses and studies in mice), but if I'm correct that lung vs. airway contamination isn't quite replicable in humanized mice vs. humans, intentional "alter and release" seems dubious.
Putting aside communications with other survivors / between settlements, there's a very good reason to want to receive satellite communications: weather satellites. You probably won't have a weather radar at your post-apocalyptic settlement, but if you can receive NOAA imagery (or whatever suits e.g. Himawari-8 if you're in the APAC region like me) you can at least see if there's any nasty storms coming up and hopefully do some basic agricultural forecasting.

I do agree that it's something you should worry about once your basic survival, shelter, and community needs are secure. However given you would need a reasonable technology base to manufacture mechanical computers, I think the "dependency management" would naturally sort itself out.

This also assumes that the satellites haven't been shot down during whatever disaster caused the complete failure of electrical computing, and that you can actually build a mechanical computer that can receive the broadcast and usefully render the images.
Good shout outs! Windows 93 and 96 are both amazing examples and much more than parody's or clones.
Ask HN: Following a Hacker News thread for new comments
It happens often that I find an interesting thread, read all the comments and keep it open in a tab for the next few hours so I can refresh and read new comments as they come in.
The problem with this is that you never know where these new comments are, so you usually have to re-read lots of stuff before finding the new comments you're looking for.

I'm just wondering how other people deal with this and how do they track new comments to interesting submissions.
If you're gonna give good ol' Morrowind a go, may I suggest using the openmw.org engine instead of the original one? They've basically improved everything.
Thanks! You've reminded me to close my hobby AWS account. I will do that now.

Edit: Done! Was quite easy. Luckily I had no services running or needed.
> She said it was being trialed by the military, in reality what had happened was Mattis said he would be able to introduce the technology to the military. This type of "abstraction" is in very many pitches I've read over the years.

That's not an "abstraction". It's a lie, and therefore fraudulent.

If you're seeing these sort of lies all over the place, you might be in a weird bubble. Startups are known for creative wordplay, but if you're straight up lying about something happening when it's not happening at all or even started, that's fraud.
Of course I can name multiple, I've been involved in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in startups deals, I've spent over 15 years in the industry...
It’s fascinating, albeit useless as it’s all speculation, to consider Holmes’ mentality and tactics.

As a young and attractive woman she carefully manicured her appearance to resemble Steve Jobs and consistently altered her tone of voice (!) to sound deeper. To investors she was the disarmingly beautiful genius. These old grey men should be so lucky as to get her attention and be part of her myth!

To a much older, rich, well connected, megalomaniac controlling man she was the young disciple. Ready to inflate his sense of self by “needing” direction and castigation. Not to mention the sexual dynamic.

To the jury she’s pregnant mother, victim of a culture that only rewards winning and the fragile, abused partner of an abusive man. She never meant any of it, it’s all a big misunderstanding!

Neumann has nothing on Holmes!
Just wanted to comment again to say I have actually gone through every single link on this site as I was building mine. I am obssessed with this kind of project and loved seeing what others did and using it as inspiration.

And even if they did do genomic analysis - it's entirely plausible the results are sitting in a hospital database somewhere instead of uploaded to the international gene surveillance repository.
If Theranos still existed as a company, some of their results were bogus enough that they probably could get sued (IANAL). But Theranos doesn't exist any more.
I prefer text because text is much easier to annotate and make sense of. Audio, unless it is a lecture, I think is mostly a waste of time.
Netflix must remove it then, because 50% of the BR discs I rented before cancelling that part of my NF subscription were unplayable.

Eh, what seems easiest to prove gets prosecuted. Like mob bosses getting convicted of tax evasion.

The lies to patients and investors were quite well linked anyway, if you want to think about it like that.
I don't think the author of this article understands "censorship" correctly. It sounds like the author wants someone else to pay for particular kinds of speech. I'm not sure how this logically plays in with ownership of property.
Milk contains lactose. I avoid sugar due to sinus headaches and don't have an issue with lactose.
How is 1909 relevant to the origin of copyright?

The article explained how limited copyright is a useful incentive apart from any moral view. And it explained how the term affects the costs.
I could almost see "fake it til you make it" if your idea is based on already proven technology, but success depends on something like brand recognition, network effect, etc. In the case of Theranos, whether her technology worked or not was ultimately going to be decided by Mother Nature, not by a market.
This mile-long gibberish has no more logic to it than the argument that the eye is so complex it could not have evolved, therefore God created life.

Slim.AI | Fullstack and Backend Engineers | REMOTE, international or Seattle/Bellevue/WA | Full-time | Golang, Node.js, Vue.js/Nuxt.js

I'm the founder and CTO at Slim.AI. We are a well funded seed stage startup (9M+) in the developer tooling space. Our mission is to simplify and accelerate the containerized app delivery (it's too hard, too complicated and with too much manual work). We are about to transition to the next phase and we are expanding our engineering team.

Our engineering team is the innovation engine for our product because we are building a solution to solve our own problems creating and running containerized cloud-native applications.

We use Golang, Node.js Serverless/Lambda and containers. We have frontend, backend and fullstack roles ( https://github.com/slim-ai/engineering ).

Our engineering principles:

* We use what we build.

* We share a common cloud-native mindset and a platform thinking DNA.

* We create stage appropriate designs that can evolve and that can be thrown away when necessary.

* We optimize for evolvable architecture building an extensible and composable system with disposable components using an API first approach.

* We optimize our designs for people first and machines second.

* We care about the entire system we are building considering the needs of our teammates and the impact of the design decisions we make.

* We learn together.

* We share knowledge and give back to the tech community.

* We have a written down and transparent culture that enables our remote first asynchronous approach to engineering.

* We have a lightweight engineering process based on trust, self-alignment and visibility.

Email me at cto@slim.ai if you'd like to learn more.

P.S.

Take a look at DockerSlim ( https://github.com/docker-slim/docker-slim ) if you are interested in working on the open source project that powers our SaaS.
It should not be slow, sorry to hear about that. Maybe you could try it locally, indeed that is the code. I would love to hear more about "I do not like the windows clone style of this one too much" as I have tried to replicate Windows 10 and would like to know where I could improve. Thanks!
Feel free to add me on linkedin and share your deal flow! I'd genuinely love to see the startups you see and are invested in. When I was still in startups, I encountered more than one experience where various investors begged me to lie to them. In one instance because they wanted their IRR higher, and in another because they felt if a specific metric was inflated considerably more, it would be easier to execute something. I'm not kidding around either, that happened.
My guess about the discrepancy is that the lies she told investors were more brazen and came directly from her own mouth. She told investors and journalists that Theranos was working on military contracts (no such contracts ever existed), and she straight up told investors that no third party testing was involved in Theranos test results (a lie). She directly ordered employees to omit positive test results from investors' blood tests because she didn't have confidence in the results. This is all documented and she has admitted to much of it.

The lies told to patients and fraudulent test results could be (and were) denied by saying she wasn't aware of what was happening in the labs.

It's not that investors are more important in the eyes of the law or that patients weren't lied to, it's about the quality of the evidence available. Her not guilty verdicts do not mean she's innocent, simply that there wasn't enough evidence available to convince a jury.
This happened to me. I had a 9k bill and I got hacked and stuck with it on my personal account. I gave AWS $100k business and that did not matter through being a decision maker at a startup I work at. AWS does not care about your business unless you are going to IPO. True story.

Joint Statement of the Five Nuclear-Weapon States on Preventing Nuclear War
How many doses have been administered? Enough that if the vaccine is bad news, everywhere crashes back to subsistence living because all the infrastructure will fail. I find it difficult to believe that nearly-unanimous expert support for vaccination is incorrect to such a degree.

Play your odds, take your chances.
While it is unusual for the med tech industry, isnt it what startups do all the time ? it is not that surprising to me .

It is not pure SaaS companies either, in the EV/self-driving space we have outright frauds like Nikola rolled a truck downhill to make the video and were public at $8 Billion. Others like Rivian/ tuSimple are definitely are not going to meet the projections in sales and plans they have published. Tesla constantly says a lot of things they never delivery or deliver much later than promised.

"They run concurrently except to the extent necessary to serve the full sentence the judge selects."

When he said it's not clear she'll do less than 20, I don't think he meant she might get more than 20, just that she might get 20.
There is a counter argument to make, and that’s not it. If getting free stuff were the primary argument in favor of shorter copyright, our court system would have extended copyrights forever already.
Conrad Black hasn't owned the National Post for over 20 years.
That still would have cost investors most of their investment, and probably would have led to this same conspiracy and fraud outcome, since she lied to them to get their funding well before the company shut down. Maybe she could have afforded a bigger/better legal team that way though?
I think the difference in those countries is vaccination rate, which renders the built out capacity more reasonable.
This is the best info I could find, linked from a reddit thread.

Their statement is that it's too early to assess damage -- but it's enough they need to take a few days to assess the damage itself and impact on production. Also enough that it hit the share price. So, clearly not trivial.

"At this point it is too early to make any statement on the damage or whether the incident will have any impact on the output plan for this year. It will take a few days to conduct a thorough investigation and make a full assessment. "

Well, it's not a roadblock but it's a dark-pattern and user hostile. Just like the lack of spending limits on AWS.

Compare that to the experience of unsubscribing from netflix, for instance.
Virtue signalling does not mean you have virtue. Just that you are attempting to signal to others that you do have virtue.
Ya novelty is all over my site. For me specifically the idea was always to replace my personal site and for users to feel like they had sat at my computer and were looking through my stuff/files. I use Windows 10, so that is what I decided to replicate visually.
Trump's victory was not the last gasp of laissez-faire moderation by the big companies. As you've noted, they allowed people to use their service for what people wanted after that day.

The end of his Presidency, though, is a different story.

Indeed, Twitter, upon being forced to decide whether their laxly-enforced TOS meant they'd have to kick a sitting President off their service or whether they would find a way to avoid that scenario, modified their TOS to allow him and his ilk to stay.

... and the consequences of that decision were that their CEO, four years later, got hauled in front of Congress to talk about what their communications service facilitated on January 6, 2021, and whether they should have done anything differently.

They tried their damnedest, they really did. They don't actually want to be some kind of benevolent dictators over what people see and hear; it's not the job they set out to have. But they've seen what happens now if they don't assume the responsibility their size has thrust upon them.

We're now at the beginnings of the experiment where they assume the role of benevolent dictators, and the results remain to be seen.
It can if there are only a few big players and they're all in cahoots.
Same here. I skimmed parts of the beginning, then upvoted because I found it interesting. I don't feel we should be squashing everything that might challenge our existing beliefs just because. Then HN would just be like every other awful social media site out there. If people have substantive problems with the article, they should articulate them as comments instead of blindly flagging something and hoping nobody ever has the opportunity to think about it.
The calibration values were discovered through static analysis, so the code referencing those values can be followed to determine if unexpected side effects may be present. Obviously this process is imperfect, but it's not like blindly throwing bytes in and hoping something comes out.

I'm not a big advocate for comma/OpenPilot or EPS patching stuff in general, but I thought the patch in this example was fairly benign and reasonable as these things go - it was a data patch to the calibration area rather than a code patch, and the altered calibration contained relatively straightforward values with clear references and obvious effects.
I think the question is whether punitive policies work in that way. I'm fairly comfortable saying this person getting locked up for a long time will probably not deter too many others from doing similar, at a personal level. I suppose it can be argued that it doesn't have to act as a deterrent to individuals at a high rate, but to groups? But... why aren't we then hearing about everyone else that enabled this? (That is, this just encourages more folks to make sure to have a scape goat.)

Or, do we really think it was down to just this one person's actions?
Reverse engineering isn't that scary!

Seriously though, a big part of my role in the first year has been building tooling to make that part of the process efficient and enjoyable for everyone. We have a Python REPL for interacting with the bare metal hardware, scaffolding for building prototypes of hardware drivers in it (e.g. register and register map definitions), things like the ability to run functions on another CPU core for SMP tests, hardware exception handling so it's actually hard to crash and have to reboot, and even a hypervisor that can run full macOS and inspect all of its hardware accesses, with a rich event tracing framework that goes from raw register maps to coprocessor message passing to decoding remote procedure calls with C++ argument unmarshaling between firmware and the OS, in both directions. All controlled from any host machine running Linux or macOS, over a simple USB connection with the target.
Glad to hear it's running well. Thanks for checking out my site!
Those patients might have standing to file a civil class action suit against Holmes. Not sure if she has enough assets left to make that worthwhile.
The US is capable of many things, in theory. In practise, not a lot of new capabilities have materialised so far. Not even a single new Foxconn plant or a domestic contender (if any).

That's not to say that is impossible, but without good examples we can all say a bunch of stuff and it won't mean anything.
I wonder if they get to hear what the sentence is before they decide on the remaining 3?
Not really, woke used to be a word people used to identify themselves with. [1] And Tyler Cownen recently wrote opinion piece on Bloomberg defending wokism. [2]

It is not "a placeholder term for whatever you don't like", not in any meaningful sense.

Nobody said the US system was perfect, just better (along with other developed countries that have rule of law).

I lived in a developing country for a while and the corruption can be maddening. You might agree to partner with someone to buy property, they take your money and cut you out. In corrupt countries, you might be entirely screwed - that person has too many connections and influence, nobody will touch them.

At least in countries with rule of law you could sue them. You might not win or be made whole, but at least there is a system that is somewhat dependable.
There are categories, some system calls block on timers, some block on disk io, some block on network io. But they all block, except for gettimeofday() and friends.
The fraud was easier to pin on Holmes as a person, rather than Theranos as a company.
