>Fraudulently buying a pizza isn't really all that much payoff for our fraudsters after all.

Although they will sometimes do that as a test before making a bigger purchase. When my mother's card was cloned, the first fraudulent purchase was a coffee or sandwich at a railway station in a different city (but one close enough that it was believable she might have been there). Her bank only alerted her the next day when it was used to buy jewelry.

I have a similar story about the App Store. I wanted to move my app to another owner, but Apple has detected it's a plagiarism of my original app. Now I have neither the original app on the App Store, and the new owners app is stuck. It seems to be automated rejection without a human taking an actual look at the problem.

My app is open source

It's great to see it still going. Used it for Puppet as well as dpkg output (we made a full dependency list of our multimedia ingest application, i.e. lots of custom ffmpeg and libboost etc). That thing was huge
I believe that most corporate legal departments (who are the ones controlling what licenses can/can’t be used, not the engineers) received GPLv3 as an end to simple ways to guarantee that GPL had no possibility of bringing legal trouble.

Even if it’s technically possible to comply with GPLv3 without open sourcing proprietary code, there’s enough caveats/hoop jumps involved that it was seen as too risky to even try. They don’t want, “no legal issues as long as”, they want a flat, unconditional “no legal issues ever”.
I am not worried, they will never run out of people like you who will keep paying no matter how high the prices are.
Interestingly Mozilla used to work on a similar project for wifi based location discovery. It also had a neat app to log hotspots with an Android GPS capable smartphone.
> resentment towards the way non-native people treat the island and its people

you forgot, giant, muscular and overweight guys who rule by being the biggest and baddest on the Island. Its a thing, but they lost. Not to the USA, but to a series of really exploitive, unimaginably exploitive settlers, who then were thrown back to their own lands by force by other people that had industrial arms, uniforms, ships larger than your village, compass and other things. The result being a democratic government, but also the Bishop Museum scandal and you know, Larry Ellison (edit almost) owning an Island. The novel 'Hawaii' by James Michner is a palatable retelling of some of that. (spoiler: death and cruelty in the most beautiful place imaginable)

the real story is quite disturbing all around.. I agree with the anti-pollution part, however.. toxics are also no joke.
Unbelievable that now almost all people is discussing "how" marak's action caused results. Not try to figure out "why" this happens. Just like seeing something wrong, and discuss it. DO NOTHING!! CHANGE NOTHING. ALL meanless. unless you figure out all stuff, change something. What I do? I think GitHub is wrong, so I take action, delete all repos on GitHub. F*K it, that what I do. At least I have an action. So what you did? Talking is cheap.
Author here. My concern in the article isn't that you can't do groupby fast, but that the approach above is not composable.

* If f() converts grouped data to something ungrouped, then you can't use a similar function f2(f(group))

* If f() returns a grouped object, then you can't do basic operations like f(grouped) + 1, because DataFrameGroupBy, SeriesGroupBy do not define basic operators like addition. Let alone operations against other grouped data.

A lot of this is worked out in siuba now, and this doc explains a bit more:

“Everybody in England was brought up believing in brown Windsor soup,” says Glyn Hughes, author of The Lost Foods of England. “What is really, really strange is how deep this is into the British psyche. Walk up to anyone in the street and ask them about brown Windsor soup, and they’ll say that it was terrible and horrible but everybody ate it in the Victorian era.”

I have never heard of Brown Windsor soup until today. An article that's debunking a myth itself contains a myth.

Yes, it really is how it works.

> If you create something and unless you license it permissively that product is yours and you get to set the terms and conditions.

And if you want people to pay for it, you have to offer enough marginal value over not paying for it so that they choose to do so. The concrete, social, and personal moral consequences of violating social norms can provide part of that value by weighing negatively on the “not” side, in the case there is an available but “not permitted” mechanism which gives the benefits without paying. But that doesn't change the basic fact that you have to provide adequate value if you want people to voluntarily pay.

Then models where you give the full service for free for each account with the limits actually applied that people are exploiting that way probably isn't the right model for that SaaS.
ASRock DeskMini X300: the future form factor of desktop PC-s?
In fairness, many of these will end up in consumers hands shortly after a bit of additional value-add. On the bare-bones side, that's things like JLC PCB stocking them for pro-hobbyists to get custom low-volume PCB's made with them. A bit higher up the food chain, mere tinkerers could expect to find more form factors of fully ready-to-use boards available at microcenter/ailexpess/amazon/sparkfun/etc.

For mere hobbyists, adding network connectivity will be the biggest hurdle for most of their projects, and hopefully some of the microcenter (et. al) options will provide options. It doesn't have any on-board solutions for this (unlike, say an STM32F207 which has low-level ethernet capability that just needs to be broken out to a physical interface).

Generally though I think most networking solutions for the RP2040 will max out at 66.5Mbps max theoretical throughput, because this is the limitation of SPI interface when the RP2040 has its system clock set to 133MHz (perhaps a bit more throughput is possible with overclocking).

Note that the dual Cortex M0+ cores have some (serious) limitations, namely: No floating point math (although the compilers usually do a pretty decent job of letting hobbyists forget this!). No Embedded Trace Macrocell or Program Trace Macrocell for debugging (only Micro Trace Buffer). Only 4 breakpoints and 2 hardware watchpoints.

It's important to truly understand the hardware limitations as much as possible to avoid issues caused by things like interrupt priority inversion[0].

I've personally never contacted Facebook or Google support, seems like a futile effort. I do agree out of all the companies, Amazon seems to have support figured out the most, at least they make it easy for the customer. I had a package that was not delivered, actually pretty sure it was delivered but then stolen (apartment had a package locker so it was the delivery drivers fault).

When I contacted Amazon I was expecting them to talk for a while to determine what happened but no, immediate no questions asked refund. Amazon I'm sure has issues around delivery, but as a customer I could care less if a package gets lost once in a while if the company is immediately going to correct the issue.

1. It wouldn’t be 5 minutes. This could easily take hours to resolve.

2. Even with human support, companies like this would continue to be incentivised not to share what exactly triggered the ban in order to protect their systems from spam and abuse. You can’t provide services to billions of people without automation.

3. Human reviews would be performed by humans. Have you ever met humans? You’re replacing an imperfect system with another imperfect system except now things are slower and cost more.

I'm surprised YouTube isn't on your list. We having streaming services, but my kids mostly watch YouTube.
I'm genuinely interested in hearing from people who believe that Apple and Google should have a monopoly on deciding what apps people can run on their phones.

In case of Google's Android, one can still install third party App Stores, even they take away auto-updates and such. Apple is a much worse offender.

In either case, why does anyone think that they should have a monopoly there and why is nothing being done to fight it? Many years ago the EU forced Microsoft to release Windows versions without a default media player or a default browser. Yet, nothing has been done to Apple and Google. Why?
Same, I've never head of it either.
It's the continuing advancement of post-reality into more and more of people's existence. Back twenty years ago when we were all just dipping our toes into the Internet, the majority of our existence was still rooted in traditional society. You might dig around on the Web and find "conspiracy" discussions, but you knew that these topics wouldn't pass the bar for conversation with your family and friends, so you just compartmentalized them. Eventually you either found a way to process the grains of truth in such thoughts (eg the military industrial complex didn't "do" 9/11, but they greatly benefited from it), or you kept on compartmentalizing those thoughts until you forgot about them for whatever reason. Now most of our social interactions are online, and at the very least mediated by online communities. When you run across some outlandish theory, it's easy enough to share it, even if you editorialize a bit to soften the blow- "does anyone think this might be true", "sounds crazy but I'm just passing it on", etc. You don't have to leave the post-reality environment, so it never even occurs to you to temper it down a bit to avoid being the crazy person (coupled with people's lack of physical empathy when communicating through text. I suspect us early Internet citizens are more reflective here, because we learned to overcompensate with left-brained sympathy early on, before pictures supplied a substitute empathy signal). Additionally, most of this communication is done through third party intermediaries whose main metric is to maximize "engagement", and so they'll amplify the signal to those who are receptive, and hide it from those who would shun you because of it.

Furthermore, I characterized our previous existence as "traditional society", but it really wasn't that either. Rather it was a different post-reality as mediated by broadcast media, progressed to be owned by a handful of corporations. This kept us all on the same page and working for common goals, even if the goals weren't necessarily in our own interests (eg widening wealth gap, elective wars). That is what passed for the traditional zeitgeist that we were steeped in, and everyone accepted it because of the massive social proof from The Important People on TV. Now looking back, we can see that the traditional zeitgeist was not in our interest either, and so it does not offer a compelling focus point to return to. And so we're just kind of lost and rudderless, looking for new directions to suspend our disbelief for.
Sadly the value of having a Netflix sub has gone downhill the last couple years.

House of Cards was certainly a big thing at the time--for the first few seasons anyway. Queen's Gambit. GLOW and Russian Doll were quite good. I'm not a huge fan of The Crown but it's well done.

Honestly, Game of Thrones notwithstanding, I'm not sure that there's a lot on HBO I consider must see level content either although some is quite good.

I'd probably consider them about a wash for content.
What about the outcome of a generation that watched nothing but reality TV, Fear Factor, and prank shows? Not disagreeing with you entirely, but I don't think it's scary, because it's nothing new to have swaths of people exclusively consuming low-quality junk.
Yes, it's been painfully obvious from the start. It was the first thing I noticed, once looking into NFTs.

I'd be surprised, AMAZED actually, if some of the big NFT collections aren't entrenched in wash trading, to pump up trade volume and price.

In fact, I think that in order to successfully launch a NFT collection today, you need to have either:

A) Substantial social capital.

B) Capital to do the wash trading, or investors to back you.

C) Probably both above.

To someone very familiar with the idea of slices and Zig, it might be obvious and sensible. But to me, unawareness of how slices work means I thought I could easily access garbage data if array capacity >= list length; and accessing the underlying data structure feels unclean and makes me think of hacky code. While the field of ArrayLists is unlikely to see any innovation, it certainly doesn’t make a good first impression to programmers not exposed to Zig before.

Streamlining production seems like a wrong goal in this game. I mean, who cares if you can efficiently churn out dozens or hundreds of new TV-shows and movies if none of them are good? Having one really good TV-show on the catalogue is worth a hundred crappy TV-shows. And if you manage to produce one good show, who cares if its' production process was extremely efficient. It's a long tail game.
The number of times I've heard of people only getting support from Google because they know someone on the inside is quite astonishing.

The question was whether the SEC would have jurisdiction. The manipulation affects securities that the SEC would have jurisdiction over, so it would follow that they do.

If not, it would be a pretty gaping hole in their mandate: "It's fine to manipulate X and profit from that, but not to profit from the regulated derivatives that closely track X."
Meditation is a process that works to block all "external" stimuli so that one can focus on the "self"... not sure how that works with minimizing the ego?

Presumably the realization that "my code is not me" could be a connection to more spiritual realizations like "my ____ is not me", but still it's not exactly minimizing the ego in the usual sense.

> You can't buy and sell the same item to yourself at an auction multiple times

You don't have to; you get someone else to buy it, hold onto it for a few years, then sell it again on a different auction. It doesn't have to be short-term.

> Also, the value is in the art, not the receipt.

I would argue the value is not in the art in real life either, that is, it's not the artwork itself, but the 'object', its history, what people have paid for it in the past and how it increased in value over time. The main thing is that it has to be rare or one of a kind.

I mean more understandable is expensive, collectable whiskeys. They make a limited batch, say 100 bottles, sell it for $100 each. Ten years later, 90% of those bottles have been opened and drank, another 10% of the remainder was lost or broken, leaving you with nine bottles of a once-and-never-again rare batch. Collectors will pay more for it.

Anyway, NFT's, like cryptocurrencies, are investment products whose value is determined entirely by whatever a buyer pays for it.
Those meatspace-memes did exist. My parents grew up on opposite ends of the US, and knew the same childhood parodies of the theme songs of short-lived TV shows.

I do have some morals. I wouldn’t download a car.

Video streaming services, games-on-demand like Game Pass or PlayStation Now, or even launcher storefronts like Steam are providing a valuable and _convenient_ service. They are all middlemen. But when their value decreases to the point where it becomes _more convenient_ to seek alternatives, then it’s these middlemen who get what they deserve in the sense of market economics. It is widely accepted and even celebrated in the U.S. that corporations behave amorally in our so called “Free Market” so don’t give me a sob story about how some poor Netflix exec can only afford to resyndicate Mexican telenovelas because of me and what an immoral dude I am.

Ask HN: Is Svelte lean and pragmatic or missing something?
Context: I am a full stack developer that uses React to build simple UIs for technical simulations.

When working with React I spent a lot of time, also out of curiousity, on different solutions for certain problems (Think of Redux, MobX, and Recoil or React wrappers like React-Konva).
With Svelte I don't do that. It seems most basic functionality is included in a thin layer of abstract above HTML, CSS, and JS (ref. The truth about Svelte by Rich Harris) and the Svelte standard library. From state management, reactivity, and with SvelteKit, to SSR and code splitting. For problems not covered is was, until now, always easy to use TS/JS.

Question: is Svelte lean and pragmatic or is it missing something?

Note: I know React, use it, and like it (especially with hooks & Redux-Toolkit).
As I am far from senior, maybe there are some complexities I am not seeing yet.
It's funny that you got two opposite answers.
