>Considering that BS, stretching of capabilities, and so on are commonplace in the startup world, the point isn't whether Holmes crossed the line (she did), but rather, how exactly that line is repositioned by this precedent.

I really don't see the line being repositioned at all because typical founder bs and Holme's fraud have a clear difference:

- bs is often overinflated promises of the _future_ that don't come true ; E.g. Musk overpromises fully-self-driving cars next year blah blah blah

- fraud is often lying about the _past_ with falsified documents etc. E.g. Holmes deliberately fabricated "military contracts" that didn't exist and forged papers with supposed Pfizer endorsements to trick investors to wire money. Likewise, Madoff faked the so-called fund's audited statements showing profitable trades. Therefore, convictions of wire fraud charges are easier to prosecute.

Holme's guilty convictions really have no relevance to the pie-in-the-sky overconfidence of founders. Therefore, unrealistic projections will continue to be made.

Is there any credible evidence showing Elon Musk falsified documents and fabricated income to trick investors into SpaceX/Tesla?
Article says after forming the paper core, they were painted. Presumably this gave them some water proofing.
We definitely know that there are lots of words that came to English via French that had already lost their b, and had the b added back in a foolish attempt to standardize English spelling.
Wasn't her and the companies case that they knew what they wanted to achieve, wearing the bandaid that communicates with the phone to the server was impossible and that its various simpler versions of devices did produce results that did knowingly mislead people about their health. That's is potentially life threatening and different from an i.e. chat AI company that blatantly lies, this may lead to some peoples misery as well, but Theranos had way less network hops leading to health threatening outcomes.
There isn't anything objectively wrong with using libc as an abstraction on Windows, especially since Win10 ships the "Universal C Runtime" out of the box (earlier you had to deploy a separate crt for each Visual Studio version).

Personally I'm also in favour of cutting out libc and invoking the windows API directly. But others might argue that using it as a shared abstraction that's very similar on Windows, Linux, OSX, BSD, is worth it.

And "native" is ill defined. It's just one more abstraction layer in the libc -> Win32-API -> NT-API -> Kernel chain. Libc isn't comparable to a java runtime or electron, which is what people usually mean when they talk about applications not being "native".

Let's untangle this:

- .Net Framework made a bunch of unfortunate design decisions.

- You hated .Net Framework as a direct result.

- .Net Core (aka .Net 5/6) fixed the problems, went OSS, went cross-platform, de-coupled from proprietary tooling.

"Consider this toast burnt for life." I don't understand; if your disdain for .Net is meant to be technically founded then technical (and governance) improvements should address it but yet it doesn't here.

Can you unravel why them essentially going through your laundry list of problems and fixing them one by one has left the "toast burnt for life?"
Would it be possible to have more intermediary mips levels, (for instance instead of {1, 0.5, 0.25} have {1, 0.75, 0.5, 0.375, 0.25}?

How much would it help?
What is really not addressed is privacy of content. Regardless of where it’s hosted (AWS v Rpi) the leap from fully-public static site to something you can curate eyeballs on is pretty big. If simple auth (`htpwd`) was more universally supported and easier to use that would be great. But I find myself reaching for a CMS when I don’t want randos looking at my family photos on the open web.
I'm probably vaguely close to the market for this. My reasons would be privacy and security concerns. Phones are creepy, they have access to _everything_, are carried everywhere, and we have little knowledge or control of what they're doing.
And, what website would they meet on?
With Metal Hurlant [known in the US as Heavy Metal] also being popular in France at that time, plus the arrival of first role playing games (both US ones and french ones), it was a high time for us, the geeks.
The problem is people treat HTML, CSS, and JavaScript like they are separate languages. They should be treated collectively like bytecode/binary and almost no one should need to know more than they exist, a compiler should be what's writing web output.
My group just hired our first .NET dev in years after many interviews.

Maybe they’re all working for the big banks. Or maybe all the .NET engineers realized they’re underpaid and have learned other technologies. My own experience is that outside of Azure, .NET has become extremely painful. FWIW, modern .NET and Visual Studio (anywhere other than ASP) is deserving of hazard pay, at the very least to compensate for the mental health cost of Visual Studio’s constant gaslighting.

I love my manager and team, but pretty soon I’m going to be telling them that I’m leaving, because .NET (on desktop and mobile) has given me 5+ years of very good reasons to hate it.
You are describing multi-ethical cultural relativism, which is a feel-good idea indeed, but if you think about it, you'll quite quickly arrive at the realisation that the worst atrocities imaginable could be excused with it: "But if it's their culture / tradition...?"

In the real world, all cultures constantly judge other cultures by their own morals and values.

There is still a lot of stuff in modern Japanese and Korean culture that must not be brought to international attention, or the meticulously built image would be shattered, with consequences for political and economical relations.

Not many people know that in Japan for example, organised crime syndicates have official, legal business addresses and office buildings. Imagine any Western country allowing that - it would be shunned by its partners in an instant.
I wish there was a no-compromise passive case for the Raspberry Pi 4 that provided the silent cooing capability as well as add-ons such as a battery-backed RTC and PoE.
If you’re going to make really bad jokes, you may want to grow a backbone.
Interesting. I'm curious as to what you use instead of "whitelist" and "greylist"?
French here. Lately they weren't that much loved by the public and mostly mocked because of their weirdness but they were still pretty famous and respected by geeks because of their successful (and pretty influential) show about sci-fi back in the 80s. I guess they were still benifiting from that golden era of them, but the consensus is that they were freaky.
I suggest this because there can only be so many websites that use SEO to game their way to the top and bury the good results beneath them.

If we manage to block them, we might be able to get a results page with good sites upfront and the other meaningless content below it. I assume Google will also surface good content along with the bad, so our blacklist might enable the good stuff to reach the top.

The spam problem, I'm sure of yet, but we might either be able to block enough of it to be satisfied or it won't pose a problem for most searches that are currently giving bad results.
This is a browser extension that you have to explicitly install and configure. You get to decide which media bubble you are in (setting aside the fact that google may or may not curate their search results.)
There are no markers in 'det' that one can use to figure out whether the vowel is long or short. 'ee' is always long, and 'ett(e)' is always short.

English has far more vowels than letters. 'ee' is an old digraph that always afaik means long-e, and ett(e) is a french borrowing that will always indicate short-e. 'deat' would work for long-e, too, probably, although 'ea' is much squirrelier (turns into a couple of diphthongs.)
Hosted at netlify (free) and github. I use cloudinary and netlify for image cdn. Primary tweak is adding an image lazyload js script.

AnandTech indicates that the M1 (non-Pro) provides 2x overall performance than what Amazons Graviton2 (Ampere) can provide.

Seems like Ampere has a long way to go when an 8-core M1 (4 perf core + 4 eff core) can beat a 64-core Ampere.
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but it seems that both the link in the comment you replied to and the article in the post itself specifically say that debt is derived from French, where it lacked a b.
It's usually better to support efforts that have a greater chance of succeeding, than supporting the ideal solution that is unlikely to happen.

Ask HN: How to generate art from any app's execution?
Anyone know of software that can do this in real-time while you use the app?
I am in no way informed about this area but from just a layman/logical perspective:

> The last two coronavirus outbreaks took around fifteen years to understand.

Is it possible that because these diseases had less impact, less people worked on them? It seems like virtually every scientist in even a tangentially related field is working on Cov-2. Not to mention that we have made significant improvements in technology even over the last decade.

I am not saying that this proves or disproves your comment, but couldn’t it be said that more people, resources and technology could get us answers faster in 2019? Especially if we are building of research and knowledge we have acquired over the preceding 2 decades?
allowlist has been suggested for whitelist.
> Every illness is unique, which means that all recoveries must also be in some sense unique. There is no one-size-fits-all to getting better.

Brilliant!
With the consequence that the default branch now differs between locally and remotely initiated repositories
> (in the happy case)

That caveat makes a big difference. If you're making an API call like sending an email, you really don't want it to run twice.
I am using their FIDO 2 USB-Keys for 2FA. First I was sceptical too, but they are on the market for quite a while and I like their fully FOSS approach which Yubikey does not provide. Some of their products seem a bit overpriced, because you can do everything by yourself, but if I count all the hours and days spent with unlocking Bootloaders, searching ROMs and debugging them, this offer seems worth the price.
I think the creative American video content now comes out of "TV". Saying TV in a very loose sense, as most of this serialized long form content is consumed through apps now instead of traditional broadcast or cable television.
It's a pretty contradicting statement to say in the same sentence "I'm not antivax but I think the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus"

It seems like they were actually antivax but did not want the social stigma associated with the term. "I'm not antivax but however yadda yadda"

It reminds me of the classical "Racism is pretty fun because it does not exists, just ask around you'll see nobody is"
> I understand that "week year" is basically a payroll creation

It's not, it's a fiscal, or more generally business creation, allowing businesses to express everything in weekly basis, with no variance (all weeks are 7 days mon-sun with no fractionals, and every week belongs to a single year with no ambiguity).

This is very, very common usage in european businesses, and even casual settings, to the extent that you'll have a hard time finding a physical calendar without weeks printed on it.
So you want to tie identities to user accounts... The metaverse got from slightly interesting to a waste pretty quickly. I hope the current VR gen survives in any relevant quantity at all and it currently looks quite calm in that regard.

> we’re adding a measure of safety, security and privacy! controls.

Curing diabetes with sugar bombs might be just as effective. The security scenario becomes completely different if your user is tied to an ID. More difficult for the most part. But of course that would be against business interest.
VS 2022 WinForms designer for .NET 3.0+ can still not handle non-MS custom controls. If you want to create a user control yourself you need to sign an NDA with MS.

The API and behavior also changed, so it's not like updating the SDK version is enough. You need to fix every single form and control.

MS didn't botch the transition completely but it's very far from being a small task for larger applications maintained by relatively small teams.
More notable is actuarial data that shows that all cause mortality remains stubbornly elevated. Actuaries study death for a living and they need to get it right or the life insurance companies they work for go bust.

What the data suggests is that in aggregate we're largely moving death around. From who to whom is the question.

Ask HN: Why is Covid relatively less of a problem in Africa?
The US has seen almost 850,000 deaths from Covid. In Africa, this number is ~230,000. Meanwhile, the vaccine is in short supply in much of Africa, and the rate of vaccination is quite low in much of Africa. I'm curious why there is this discrepancy - is the worst just yet to come? Is there something about the way African countries are handling things that is different?

Your final point is true however having vast financial resources is an advantage when your competitor doesn’t have that. Which wasn’t the case for Facebook. Sure Google had a lot more money back then. But Facebook still had billions.

I still agree with the point though of course.
I could have been on-board with your cynicism until the "good riddance" part. Aren't we ashamed that the climate is so divisive that people don't even trust life-saving vaccines? Plenty of the blame goes to people such as OP, really. Sush disdain.

>become worse lately thanks to all those StackOverflow and Github clones

A google search showing some of these leech type sites:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22code+that+protects+users+...

For me, "farath.com" is outranking stackoverflow.
The JS Date API was cribbed wholesale from Java's java.util.Date, which was cribbed wholesale from POSIX (and thus Unix) date APIs, which was designed in the 1970s. But both of the cribbings preferred compatibility with the older API rather than fixing obvious warts in the API like "year is since 1900, not 1 BC" or "month is 0-based instead of 1-based."
Seeing "how other people configure their tools" can be interesting. I love seeing how people configure their .bashrc with custom commands.

I don't think I'd want to download a list of the most blocked sites and plug it into one of my tools though, for some of the reasons you mentioned.
Re: the claim about the non-synonymous/synonymous mutation ratio (N:NS ratio): if you calculate this ratio for each variant listed on https://covariants.org/variants, you will see that all variants have a very high NS:S ratio. So either the entire evolution of the virus is being guided by mad scientists in secret labs, or we armchair virologists are over-interpreting the NS:S ratio.

I think there is ample evidence at this point that this person lacks expertise in virology, and the arguments they make are probably much less strong than they may sound to a layman.
What you describe is more than being introverted, it sounds more like social phobia.
While I don't disagree about the solutions, I do have to point out that Europe still has as many as several hereditary monarchs, and that in, for example, Florence, the richest families of today are the same ones that were the richest in 1427.
