I don't think its disigenuous, though. I think these 'best practices' are really just the software equivalent of legalese speak.

If you had to run an install wizard, use a key, and upload a photograph of yourself everytime you wanted to, say, put orange juice in the fridge, your average user would scream bloody murder and rightly call your product bloody garbage.

What you might see is a caretaker sign documents for a terminally disabled patient who need assisted living services and then put orange juice in the fridge...which is where the mistake comes from.

This is the software equivalent of getting a lawyer and a caretaker involved every damn time you put orange juice in the fridge - because it works for the disabled few corporations mistake 'accesibilty' for good design... And then you realize this is 'standard practice' and finally understand how abhorrently terrible pretty much every damn website, app, and program on the planet is...

Dropbox is absolute garbage. So is Apple. They need to remove 95 percent of their garbage for the average user - the option to use the assisted living features should be available but not turned on by default.
News flash: I'm not talking about all farmers, I'm specifically talking about farmers who are either lazy or ignorant. Rotational grazing with cover crops is vastly superior to running fields constantly by juicing them with fertilizer and tilling. It does require knowledge, however, and the will to move livestock around regularly, which a lot of bad farmers lack.

Such information asymmetry shifts market powers towards employers. As as I understand, an employee can't get a similar dataset of salary ranges in a particular company.
"average revenue per employee" is a fairly widely used metric even in non-startup companies. "Profit", GAAP or non-GAAP, is these days kind of a virtual number; Amazon have been hugely successful despite not "making a profit" in the traditional accounting sense.

However the article hints at what's really going on: in many startups the objective is to cash out before the question of profit has to be addressed. Many of these buyouts are "acquishutdowns" - the product has zero value and is shut down after a short transition, while the customers and staff are really what's being bought. In this sense the startup functions like an expensive recruitment agency or an inefficient version of the footballer transfer scheme.

In those cases it's advantageous to hire even if there is nothing profitable for the employees to do - because it increases the buyout value.

> If the prices are denominated in USD, and the consumers are in countries with stronger (less elastic) currencies

Well, that's not what's going on in the market.

This crisis is caused by a reduced supply of inputs, mostly natural gas and energy. One of the direct causes is Hurricane Ida, which had a massive impact on natural gas supplies. China has also experienced a coal shortage, and also a drought that reduced hydropower generation. Europe has done a lot to switch to renewables, but they've suffered low winds.

So no, the people who are going to hurt aren't rich Westerners, who are best positioned to ride this out. It's the poor people (mostly in the "global south") who already spend massive portions of their income on food, who will bear the brunt of this crisis.
This is probably a question easily solved by querying Wikipedia, but I'll ask it here so the answer benefits others as well, where does the urea used in fertilizer come from?
How much confirmation bias is happening here? If things happen more than expected, would they get reported? The non-disappearance of the glaciers in Glacier National Park[1] is one example I can think of.

[1] https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/08/us/glaciers-national-park-202... -- In 2020, Glacier National Park in Montana had to remove signs saying that the Glaciers would be gone by 2020, since the glaciers were still there.

Collusion "is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law". So you're effectively saying that the "mainstream claim" is a big nothingburger. Bait and switch.

Haha true! Although it's the "not realized rate of return." That might be good enough to raise another fund and live out of generous management fees, but it is not sufficient to realize financial performance - making money when the business sells out or IPO.
> Like the banker opening a checking account for me who commented "OK, we can move past that," or please see my other reply with anecdotes. It also hurts for me to see that deadname and my thanks for knowing that term.

I don't see what the issue is. The fact that you previously used that name is a piece of factual information about you. Should anyone be allowed to suppress factual information about themselves because they're uncomfortable with it? eg. "10 years ago I racked up enormous amounts of debt. I'm shameful of that. Being reminded of that hurts me. I would like that information to be expunged."

>There are many other ways that these reports have harmed non-transgender people with false, misleading or outdated information.

This isn't really a convincing argument. You can make the same argument for the internet, ie. "there are many other ways that the internet has harmed non-transgender people with false, misleading or outdated information, we should ban it". What about the advantages? ie. banks being able to accurately assess risk, and reliable borrowers not having to pay for the credit risk of unreliable borrowers?

>If someone accrues massive debt, that's the bank's problem, to recover in collections, the court or with the sheriff, and not by giving someone a virtual scarlet letter.

If someone accrues massive debt and refuses to pay it, don't you think it's fair for the lender to tell other people of the experience?

It was already clear in September that this was going to happen, when fertilizer plants started to shut down because of the high gas prices[1]. (context: Natural gas is used to produce ammonia via the Haber process, and the ammonia is in turn used to produce ammonium nitrate and urea, which are used as fertilizer.) I already commented on it back then[2].

I wonder why those events took a while to appear in the urea price?

New Approaches to Interaction Latency
Crypto isn't built on lack of trust, it's lack of centralized trust. It's a trust that the majority of the PoW hash-rate (or stake, for some cryptos) is reflecting genuine transactions.

This actually better reflects the way man is, where society works when most people are relatively honest and a minority of criminals and sadistic politicians, bankers, police, tax authorities should be distrusted.

I'm all for people using crypto to use a little less A/C, heat, or drive less to balance it out if those in a warm (or cool) comfy house are a bit upset about it. Probably shouldn't be compelled though unless you're gonna create a Watt Police.

`git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD` is often enough to "undo" a rebase that went haywire.

`git rebase --abort` can be helpful too, if you run into some unexpected merge conflicts along the way.
Seems like a site we should all submit to https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/
I've seen two main arguments to that workflow.

One argument, and which I hear often, is that they want to keep the git history clean.

The other argument is that keeping things rebased & squashed allows you to do reverts easily.

I personally don't mind the merge commits cluttering the history, and especially when working on a longer lived branch I will always prefer merging-in changes rather than constantly rebasing and fixing same conflicts ad nauseam.
There have been updates on the supervised versions of ART (ARTMAP) but none I know of, which have been shown to be as as effective as DL methods on very large datasets. Not sure if there have been many/any attempts to tackle large datasets. DL methods, while opaque, often result in good feature basis sets. ART given it was devised to model perception in brains, assumes features are created by lower network layers (V1, primary auditory cortex etc). I don't think there's any reason to suspect ART could not be extended to aid feature discovery, but it hasn't been done as far as I know.

For anyone curious why this was the case, it's due to a step in wool textile production called "fulling" [0]. Stale human urine was used for the ammonium, which cleaned away dirt and oil from the cloth and made it thicker (fuller).

One of the more entertaining episodes in Don Quijote is when he and Sancho are confused by the persistent loud noise made by the hammers in a fulling mill.

The usual chain is natural gas -> ammonia -> urea. Thus, one of the key factors influencing the supply is Hurricane Ida, which led to remarkably long shutdowns in natural gas production. https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/archivenew_ngwu/2021/1...

To frame this in purely financial terms is to bury the lede. The massive jump in overall processing power while consuming less electricity has done more to drive sales than the fact they aren't paying Intel to put x86-64 chips in their machines. I had zero interest in buying another Mac until I saw just how much performance could be had from a Mac mini with the original M1: enough that serious video editors were comparing an $800 machine to a $15k Mac Pro and seeing that while the Mac Pro always won it was actually competitive, something that would have been absurd to suggest with the Intel-powered Mac minis.

Yeah for sure there's little in common and I'm sure it was just corporate legal hostility. But I'm sure the general experience of developing a 16-bit machine was educational. And I'm sure the choice to go with the 68000 (or NS32k which they also evaluated at first at Atari) was likely informed by the annoyance of having fiddled with the Z8000's awkward segmented architecture.

Re: POSIX, we Atari users were already crosscompiling things to MiNT (that MultiTOS was based on) back then before MultiTOS came out. In 1990/1991 I ran a setup (off floppies!) that had a bash shell, uucp, nn, etc all set up. Friends of mine with larger hard drives and TTs were using GCC and so on. This was all just before Linux came out and before I moved to a 486, which I only did because Linux was an option there.

Eric R Smith was the author of MiNT and was hired by Atari in their latter days to work on TOS and make his work "official." Sort of a last gasp effort after neglecting TOS for years, and the last few OS releases for the Falcon and TT were actually pretty compelling and competitive in some ways with what was on the Mac, etc..

Later, MiNT was all open sourced under GPL as FreeMiNT and it's still very actively developed today. You can set up a whole open source Unix-like environment today on FreeMiNT + EmuTOS complete with bash, login, initd, etc. RPM package management, whole thing.

AFAIK it's usually to keep the git history clean but doing it manually is so painful. In my company, we enabled GitHub's "Squash and Merge" option (1) so we have the best of both worlds: a clean history and an 1-click squash process.

How are you deploying your stack? I'm more wondering about deployment than stack (I realize they're related questions, though). Is Python serving your frontend or are you using docker? Are your github actions building and pushing images or are they pushing git commits into a repo mirrored on an EC2 instance? Are you using EC2 or does AWS have some arcane way to deploy python and angular projects?

As long as your source and target branch are present on the remote (i.e. github/lab/whatever) you probably don't need to trash the entire repo. Just `git --rebase abort` and if you're halfway through a rebase just delete your local source branch and re-fetch it from the remote. That's my process anyway if I somehow lose track of what I'm doing. Or sometimes as a reference I just open the remote branch in github/lab/whatever directly so I have a little cheat sheet, since the "current/incoming" somehow always confuses me.
Good point. This is called "written description" or "enablement." I researched this in some depth and even have a unfinished paper on the subject. To me it's the silver bullet to ending software patents, or one of the bullets.

The legal standard, believe it or not, is that you don't even need a detailed flowchart, let alone source code. The actual code is something anyone skilled in the art can do, sorta like a lab tech determining the exact temperature and pressure to use to manufacture your chemical compound.

I was in some informal discussion in Google Legal, and someone stated unequivocally, "source code will never be required in patent descriptions."

You have to ask "Why TF not?" I think the answer, at least the non-quiet part () is "the PTO is not equipped to judge your source code's adequacy. Any skilled coder can write the code."

( cynicism alert) the quiet part is "that would put us all out of business."

It's totally reasonable to require that a patentee checks his source code and build files into GitHub or some other repository. Probably the PTO should contract with someone to build a repository and they will operate it.

The lawyers and politicians and PTO will never do this on their own. Software engineers will have to organize and force it through. A lengthy flame on HN will not accomplish that.

>I can't actually think of any movies that have done this

The Dark Tower was a sore spot for me. The protagonist was a character inspired by Clint Eastwood and was depicted as fair skinned in every piece of cover art and spinoff before Idris Elba was cast in the role. Blackwashing a character fans of the story all imagined as white really underscored how little appreciation the movie makers had for the source material.

In the world, no 100m is not mainstream, particularly by its definition, "the ideas, attitudes, or activities that are regarded as normal or conventional; the dominant trend in opinion, fashion, or the arts." Crypto is not normal or conventional yet, traditional money is still dominant; its more a curiosity.

You make a good argument about the superbowl, but parallel your first sentence - viewership was only at the time of, and doesn't account for people present or who watched at a later date (ie., many). It's also been around for decades as part of American culture, maybe crypto will do this eventually. I don't see statistics for coinbase by country, but 73m is their total userbase.
