Growing-up in Southern/South-western Ontario during the 70's/80's, I had a rare health condition which had me in and out of all sorts of hospitals. I suppose that because they were successful and kept me alive, this is one of the fundamental reasons I love brutalism in architecture - it was "futuristic / modern / high-tech".
I think NFTs are mostly a scam, but I could see people showing them off in some sort of centralized "gallery" type of game. It'd be like how people show off their islands in Animal Crossing, except you could show off the artwork and other things you collected. There's way too many hurdles to make it viable, but I can see a hypothetical way that people could show them off like real collectibles.

Another thing I thought would be useful in games, but unlikely to ever happen, is using NFTs to track ownership of in-game cosmetics. That way cosmetics you get from known e-sports pros could be worth more than cosmetics you purchased from whatever store, the same a pair of Michael Jordan's shoes he wore during a game is more of a collectible than buying the equivalent shoes from Footlocker.
> I don't have two sim cards

Having a twin SIM card is rather cheap here, and would be a decent option for something like that. I've gotten one for tinkering with a Raspberry Pi 4G module.

I totally agree with your point though.
maybe businesses can't vote, but they can buy votes of the congressmen directly.

Probably.

Capital One has a tool called "Paribus" that, if you connect your email, will monitor and get refunds if prices drop or the item doesn't arrive on time. They used to do it with Amazon; they'd tell you something didn't come in the Prime two day shipping window and give you a pre-prepared complaint to get a free month of Prime as compensation.

I can't imagine Amazon liked it much.
How often do speed traps tow cars? Brookside tows 1.7 cars per year for each household.
I'm annoyed by this story before the first sentence is even complete. Who cares that she's a grandmother? What an absolutely irrelevant detail designed to preload sympathy for her before we even know any of the details.

But assuming the events unfolded as she describes, this particular case is clearly egregious. There's no evidence that this is the modal case. We're mostly talking about legitimate (if relentless) ticketing of traffic violations.

To the extent that an increase in the number of police interactions is going to result in an increase in the prevalence of bad interactions (which I think is true), the answer is much more automated enforcement.
What OP was referring to was a take-the-money-and-run plan where the company knows ahead of time that the whole thing is going to explode and causes it to on purpose.

My understanding is that Enron's leaders were caught in fraud and that led to the collapse of the company—they weren't planning on it collapsing, so the investment actually made sense in that case.
Perfect! I just so happen to be learning common lisp right now. Will give that a try and see if I get more mileage out of that example.
Thank you, it is super helpful!

This is true. Though one thing I've considered is that the front-end clients to the miles themselves have a balance of usability and inefficiency. They don't want everyone getting maximum dollar for their points. I would maybe so that giving data API access to the points tilts the $USD market price of what a point is worth in the favor of the consumer.
Sometimes I've had the impression that new FE frameworks (or libraries) arise to solve the complexity problem to then become a big complexity problem themselves.
While some parts of healthcare - like drugs - can be seen as commodity, a lot of it is not. Service differs significantly from doctor to doctor. Not disclosing the prices makes it easier for the providers to have higher prices but it doesn't make the service in question a commodity.
great, now they will want to ban alcohol
It could, for other reasons, never underflow. C expects that you know what you're doing, and C expected you did a bounds check. But I agree. Cases like this should have a lint warn on them, saying -- "Wake up programmer!"
Diabetes is extremely harmful unless perfectly controlled which it almost never is. The damage accumulates very slowly.
That part of the story was too light on details to comment. Why are they towing the cars? (Almost certainly for reasons totally within their purview.)

Plaid could file a friend-of-the-court brief here, since they have (presumably!) strong legal grounds to assert that they are legally within their rights to scrape bank websites, as they're doing so as an authorized user-agent, and since browsers are just user-agents, etc.
A bit of an aside - but does anyone here have experience with insurance policies that would actually cover legal defense in a case like this?

Would Tech E&O cover something like this, or are there riders that would need to be added?

It seems like something that could be strongly defended, and Red Ventures (TPG owner) is a large conglomerate so I doubt legal funds is an issue.

Not exactly. Motte and Bailey is a fallacy as an argument, but memes are not arguments. You can think of it as a distributed version of Motte and Bailey: someone out there surely is trying to actually abolish policing, but if you fish the internet for arguments in favor you only get people looking to reform

The answer, like to most of these kinds of issues, is to avoid arguing against internet memes. Have a debate with a singular person on an agreed upon position, or don’t debate at all.
I didn't mention communism nor socialism (except in the name USSR).

I compare the EU to the USSR because they're both top down bureaucracies that think they knows best and can erase nations under their rule. It works for a time but when it inevitably collapses, wars are almost a certainty.

You hear about the Euro and the UE collapse since 2007 because the process started back then.

Eastern countries don't share the liberal ideology of the west. They're in as long as money flows. Once it stops why would they let the west tell them how to think?

Then there are the southern countries (PIGS + France) that are bankrupt, the north don't want to pay. What do you think will happen when Covid can't be used to throw money at the problem any more?

Lastly look at the average European banks leverage. They won't survive another 2008.

FWIW I have skin in the game: I'm French, living in France.
Every similar case that has been litigated has been about wholesale copying of a large amount of content (e.g. millions of LinkedIn profiles, Craigslist listings, flight prices).

In this case an individual customer authorized the access and only their data was affected. This is a pretty common use case for a large category of apps – think Mint, Plaid, all wallet apps which organize and track different accounts.
Sure. You can just add part of the history to the prompt. Not perfect. But it can work well enough that the user can refer back to something they said in the precious question.
They start out nice when they're first created, but it's really emotionally difficult to run a good one, because to be a good one, you need to say a lot of no, you're not awesome enough to be on this list. Like, far more often than you say yes. And who wants to be that person? A small percentage of people, and that set will be full of people who will make some other big social mistake and blow things up too.

So you end up with lists that really amount to "who asked to be on the list".
I find it absurd to claim great vocalists are out of fashion when we've had two decades of mainstream pop cultural fascination towards finding new raw talent via massively popular singing competition shows such as $COUNTRY's Got Talent, The X Factor, The Voice, etc.

As others have noted, it's certainly possible that modern production styles skew too heavily towards hiding natural voices, but to say that modern culture deemphasizes great natural vocalists makes no sense.
Thanks for the explanation!

So these bounds are set by the software (and are guarded against manipulation). Then each read or write to memory is checked against these bounds by the "fine grained MMU" hardware.
So my data like my name, address and birthday are exclusive property of American Airlines?

I view them as more of a steward of my data. They have permission from me to use it but the ownership should lie with the individual.
So- just got the email. Can't pay for it, as Gsuite thinks i am US based. I am NZ based, so can't use my credit card. It seems you can't change the country of a gsuite, after signup. Obv, i am not a business, but this is a family gsuite org- and yeah, people do move around the world over decades.

No way to get support on this at all - there is no support to contact for free gsuite accounts....

The actual title of the article is "Leadership Learnings of 2021" - I don't know if the poster was being sarcastic or not in the editorialization of the title, but it definitely comes off that way and I think is leading to some of the mean-spirited comments. @dang

Conditions still matter.

Is a step while out shopping (at around 2,500' elevation) comparable to a step while hiking last Saturday (average something like 500' average elevation, 2,000' of climb, but with about 30 pounds of gear--admittedly, probably 25 pounds by the time I was done), or hiking last summer (same gear, but an average elevation approaching 10,000' and 3,500' of climb)??

(And, yes, I think those first numbers are accurate--a decent portion of it was below sea level, it only started climbing after I had crossed the valley.)
From what I've read about iCloud family sharing is that purchase sharing is optional and can be turned off.

The Z80 or 8080 is super interesting for bootstrapping purposes because it's roughly the smallest computer where a self-hosted development environment is practical. Smaller systems like the 8008, the PDP-8, or the AVR are just a little too small; you can run a filesystem and a compiler or an assembler on them, but you probably don't want to. By contrast, CP/M on the 8080 could host not only the assembler used to write CP/M, but also the BDS C compiler (now free software) or the Turbo Pascal IDE. And, unlike the PDP-8, you can still buy a Z80.

Depending on how you count, the 8080 has a few dozen instructions: https://dercuano.github.io/notes/8080-opcode-map.html#addtoc...

So a new multitasking OS for the Z80 is pretty great!

It has a few big disadvantages. Although you can multibank, there's no way to directly address more than 64K, which is a real pain. Even the Z80 is not well suited to languages where functions are recursive by default, like C, and the 8080 is even worse at that. There's no memory protection, not even an MPU, so there's no fault isolation and no virtual memory. And the Z80 chips I've found are ridiculously power-hungry, like, 500 mA, and still run slower than an AVR.
1) easier said than done - in general these are often OTC markets without clearing houses - that being said not insurmountable difficulties but not zero-cost either. 2) the previous days trades are backward looking, not forward looking. What’s the big deal you say, it’s just a day? We’ll think about driving by using your rear view mirror — you do fine until to hit a turn then things get a little sketchy, and a sharp turn can kill you.
If this means I can just use libcurl to GET a web endpoint and parse the JSON in a C program rather than have to manage multiple dependencies, I'm all for it!
Just be aware that TPG is often harmful to consumers; they often tout credit card deals for cards with better sign-on bonuses if you go directly to the issuer; they were touting a 60k Amex Gold bonus when you could just go to Amex directly for 75k. They exist to drive CC referral revenue; if they can't get referral revenue for a card, they won't promote it.

I'm a much bigger fan of https://www.doctorofcredit.com/ for this reason.

Why does YC hate solo founders?

AI Paul Graham: Because YC is a big family, and solo founders don't have a family.

AI Paul Graham: YC hates solo founders because they're the source of all the problems.

AI Paul Graham: YC likes to fund teams, not individuals.

AI Paul Graham: The most common reason we reject solo founders is they don't have a cofounder.

AI Paul Graham: YC prefers teams of 2.

AI Paul Graham: If you're a solo founder, you probably can't do YC.

AI Paul Graham: Because they're usually going to fail.

AI Paul Graham: Solo founders are more likely to fail, and less likely to succeed.

The more I've learned of the banking system, the more examples of this I see. It seems that much of the banking system was designed by bottom-line-oriented, non-systems-thinkers, who just wanted an immediate, good-enough solution to a problem. Accuracy, reproducibility, scalability, systemic integrity, and similar concerns often weren't a factor.

The 'moderate' right and the 'moderate' right are both pretty insane when it comes to the police, because they largely support their current status quo, and their current status quo is insane. Pants-on-head insane.

Just because you're a centrist on <an arbitrary political spectrum, that spans a single country's politics> doesn't mean that the things you believe in aren't crazy or horrifying.

The arguer advances the controversial position, but when challenged,
they insist that they are only advancing the more modest position.

Thank you for pointing out this argument fallacy. I've certainly seen it and been unable to articulate what is going on and why it feels like an argument in bad faith, and now I have a name for it.

Understanding CPU micro architecture for performance
Thanks for refreshing my memory! I was thinking of the short story "The Defenders", which Wikipedia tells me it inspired the novel "The Penultimate Truth".

I find most (maybe all?) of PKD's novels were born of a short story with the same theme.

From the abstract: Microprocessors have evolved over decades to eke out performance from existing code. But the microarchitecture of the CPU leaks into the assumptions of a flat memory model, with the result that equivalent code can run significantly faster by working with, rather than fighting against, the microarchitecture of the CPU.

This talk, given for the JChampionsConf in 2022, presents the microarchitecture of modern CPUs, showing how misaligned data can cause cache line false sharing, how branch prediction works and when it fails, how to read CPU specific performance monitoring counters and use that in conjunction with tools like perf and toplev to discover where bottlenecks in CPU heavy code live. We’ll use these facts to revisit performance advice on general code patterns and the things to look out for in executing systems.

The talk will be language agnostic, although it will be based on the Linux/x86_64 architecture. The presentation was recorded at the JChampionsConf meeting in January 2022, and a recording is available here: https://youtu.be/Pa_l3aHCoGc
It was originally “abolish the police” and it was a pretty widespread slogan in summer of 2020 for those of us who visited the BLM protests.

Perhaps they didn’t literally mean “do away with all police”, but no one was very explicit about what the slogan actually meant. And when the media tried to rationalize it as a metaphor (because it was so damaging to Democrats), many leftists corrected them, clarifying that they literally wanted police abolished.

In whichever case, we’re presently suffering the effects of these anti-police protests as homicides have surged to levels not seen in 30 years (whether due to official “depolicing” policies or soft pressure for police to minimize proactive policing or due to reduced cooperation from the community or so on). Whether they literally meant “no police” or some other policy, it’s pretty clear that all of this leads to more crime, and the communities who pay are predominantly poor and/or minorities.
nit for understanding's sake: is the second --jp missing?
Bin laden is a terrorist but he is not a convicted terrorist. Just like Susan Rosenberg who sits on the board of BLM.

I don’t this matters, from a legal standpoint.

The issue isn’t whether or not it’s what the customers wanted. The issue is that TPG wasn’t the party that entered into the agreement with AA when creating the account.

In state government, many desktops are set up with the agency's website as the browser homepage with no way to change it. I would think federal government is the same, that alone might skew some of these statistics.
There's a related problem when you can diagnose a cancer really early -- it's that you wind up, technically, living with cancer for a longer time. Early diagnosis makes treatments look like they're working better and better, when they might not be.

Newer treatments might actually be worse, but early diagnosis makes them look more effective.
That browser is Google controlled spyware, and even temporarily installing it on my box to talk to a USB device gives me the willies.

There's of course Chromium, but the code base of Chrome is so huge, I'm not even sure Chromium has been properly audited to be "clean" wrt being subservient to Mountain View.

I do understand the old dream of a "universal API", it's snake oil that has been peddled to the IT crowd since I was a teenager (looong time ago).

I also wish it could happen, but Chrome certainly isn't it.
So you are affected...?
That should simply not be enforceable, period. If we had any consumer advocacy in government in the US, this BS would have never even come up.
> Or there’s another resident who was one of 75 people that were given a ticket for simply using the left lane on the interstate.

"Simply using the left lane" is illegal unless you're actively passing someone. In my state it's one mile. If you haven't passed someone in the last mile, you need to be in the right lane. I know in some states it's a quarter mile, which at 65-75 seems a bit aggressive (basically saying you have to be going 15-20+ faster than the person you're passing just to safely get over in time).

But seriously, hanging out in the left lane is stupid and unsafe, regardless of your speed.
