I live in the US and the 600 extra are binary, the question is "have you used any tobacco products in the past three months?" and a yes means an extra 600 per year. It's not that unusual if you get health insurance through your employer because it drives the cost down for everyone else, and of course scamming money off smokers even if they just casually do it a couple of times every three months is socially accepted.

Also except executives no one is above 60, which is where one would argue that if you are a smoker you may actually needing to tap heavy into health insurance money for smoking related conditions. There's even research that if you quit before 40 your smoking related cancer risks go down 90% https://www.healio.com/news/hematology-oncology/20211228/qui...

Of course I can drink a bottle of wine per day, not exercise, eat processed meat and not consume a gram of fiber and I don't have to pay extra health insurance. It doesn't make any sense.

Considering that BMJ made an entire article objecting to FB fact checking BMJ for public audiences [0], I really have to disagree that the article was only meant for expert eyes.

Given that, a few disclaimers and limitations to help quell public misinterpretation is required. Not to do so is irresponsible.

By economy of scale. If you have 50,000 paying users, $10 each, that should cover either 5 man-years of average software development, or 2 man-years of one senior/principal level developer.

Most products in question have users in the millions, paying 10 to 100 times as much. Do the math.

No. They got money in exchange for equity. If the company fails, they don't have to pay that money back. There is no personal guarantee from the founders. Bootstrapping means that you either used your own money or you got loans for which you are personally liable (credit card/bank loan/SBA etc).
You're not crazy! We still don't do v6 UDP (there's no good reason for us not to, but it'll be a week of rebuilding a BPF engine while the plane's still in the air, so this task never hits the top of our stack and won't until someone really pressures us on it).

tackled the georgian translation question during my lunch break. My approach (spoilers):

1. figured out that there's probably a decent 1-1 correlation between letters/sounds between the two languaged, intuited this from comparing the characters for peru and uruguay

2. guessed that not all the names translate perfectly. So for instance, what we refer to as "Brazil" may be "Brazilia" or "Brasilia" elsewhere, and that indeed proves to be the case here when comparing the mapped letters for Brazil in Georgian to Brazil in English.

3. not every letter/sound is represented, so I'd have to fill some gaps. Tested this with the first answer: Argentina. The second answer proved harder because the first letter looked similar enough to a P that it threw me off, but after disregarding it, "Columbia" was a good fit for the letters I knew after accounting for alternate spellings of Colombia (Columbia of course being valid for Washington D.C.)

Interesting spin. I guess I wouldn't mind a society where everyone was accountable for the long term consequences of their actions, policy decisions, research, etc… however we achieve it. The problem lately is we don’t seem to want to hold people accountable almost because we consider a right to life and success to be overly precious. CEO ran a company into the ground, meh they were just doing their fiduciary duty. Politician demonstrably implemented a policy that increases crime, meh they were just a conduit for the will of their constituents. Perhaps these attitudes would be fixed by longer lifespans.

But yes, dealing with brokerage forms that needed a wet signature faxed..
C exposes a (fairly low-level) abstract machine with its own semantics, encapsulating the operational semantics of the CPU. Optimization flags are expected to affect the uarch-operational semantics, but not the semantics of the C abstract machine.

Think of it like trading one cycle-accurate emulator for a better, more tightly-coded cycle-accurate emulator. Or a plain loop-and-switch bytecode interpreter for a threaded-code bytecode interpreter. The way your code is running on the underlying machine changes, but the semantics of your code relative to the abstract machine the code itself interacts with should not change.

> Compilers justify register allocation by assuming stack can't be smashed, contrary to hardware reality.

...which should be entirely fine, as the existence of a stack isn't part of the exposed semantics of the C abstract machine. Values can be "on the stack" — and you can get pointers to them — but nothing in the C abstract machine says that you should be able to smash the stack. There's nothing in the C standard itself describing a physically-laid-out stack in memory. (There are ABI calling conventions defined in the standard, but these are annotations for target-uarch codegen, not facts about the C abstract machine.) There could just as well be a uarch with only the ability to allocate things "on the stack" by putting them in a heap — in fact, this is basically how you'd have to do things if you wrote a C compiler to target the JVM as a uarch — and a C compiler written for such a uarch would still be perfectly compliant with the C standard.

If C were an interpreted language, the fact that the stack can be smashed would be referred to as a "flaw in the implementation of the runtime" — the runtime allowing the semantics of the underlying uarch to leak through to the abstract-machine abstraction — rather than "a flaw in the interpreter" per se; and you'd then expect a better runtime implementation to fix the problem, by e.g. making all pointers to stack values actually be hardware capabilities, or making each stack frame into its own memory segment, or something crazy like that.

As a compiled language — and especially one that has encapsulation-breaking holes in its abstract machine, like the C inline-assembly syntax — you can't exactly expect a runtime shim to fix up the underlying uarch to conform to the C abstract machine. But you could at least expect the C compiler to not let you do anything that invokes those cases where it's exposing potentially-divergent uarch semantics rather than a normalized C-abstract-machine semantics. As if, where there should be a shim "fixing up" a badly-behaved uarch, you'd instead hit a NotImplementedException in the compiler, resulting in a compilation abort.
I have a shell script based on ImageMagick that gives a PDF a "scanner" look. I typically open the PDF in Master PDF Editor to insert an image of my signature, then pass it through my script. When I do need it, it's rare, but it becomes a real life saver. It has avoided me the need to print and scan 100+ pages for a mortgage company, some stock brokers and banks. Key points of the script:

"+noise Random -fill white -colorize 95%" to add some noise to the image

"-distort ScaleRotateTranslate '$x,$y $angle'" to randomly shift horizontally and vertically the document, and randomly rotate it slightly

"-density 150" for a low-ish resolution so it better hides the fact the PDF wasn't really scanned

"-colorspace Gray" to make it black & white

"-quality 60" to increase JPG compression and somewhat reduce picture quality

#!/bin/bash
# Make a pdf look like it was scanned.

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 input output" >&2
exit 1

I'd say it's a good example why more static checks like lifetimes are useful.

With them, you can at least tell apart data structures that are fleeting and can disappear when a cable is ejected, and those which should stay put. This likely might help avoid another double-free or another freed pointer dereference.
I had the same experience when my friend hid one (with my knowledge) in my car. It took me a few days to cotton on that the beeping was the AirTag and not my car making squeaking noises of some sort. And I knew that the AirTag was there. I imagine someone unaware could fail to notice it for months.
No, that's not what's being depicted. The sculpture celebrates American culture's conquest of Native Americans and Africans --- Roosevelt literally had conquered chiefs march in his inaugural parade, like Caesar with Vercingetorix. The sculpture itself evokes a Roman Triumph. It's part of a genre --- one Fraser was a big part of, most famously with his "End of the Trail" sculpture --- of "Vanishing Indian" artworks, which cast Native American culture as effectively extinct, subsumed completely into "white" culture.

It's ickier still when you contemplate the historical context of Roosevelt's "Triumph", coming as it did in the age of the Gatling Gun.

There's much more to be said for The End of the Trail as an important work of art than of this pretty-creepy Roosevelt structure. Not that Teddy should be melted down or anything, but it doesn't make sense to give it a place of honor.

The article doesn't mention it but adding precision doesn't help for another reason: space isn't flat. If you calculate the surface area of the earth or sun or whatever with pi you're off. Doesn't matter how many decimals you use. You're off because gravity distorts space.

PocketCasts actually granted previous purchasers a free Pro subscription in perpetuity because of community backlash. That one really annoys me because I would happily pay $5 for Pro PocketCasts functionality for a year or two, but I'm not going to pay a recurring fee every month since I don't care about any cloud storage or sync functionality.

On that note... if you don't want to use your free Pro PocketCasts subscription going forward, I would be more than happy to pay you $5 for it.

I've never had strong opinions on an author before, but this guy sucks. His writing is just abysmal trash, that passes off a firehose of tired, cringeworthy, exhausting pop culture references as the creamy filling of his meager Twinkie of a story.

Spielberg's movie adaptation shaves off most of those rough edges, however, and makes the whole affair more palatable.

It's not a bad story, at it's core. It just needed an actual author to get it under control, and the film largely does that.

It's still got issues, though. The main character is a creep in both versions.
>Ah, classic backpedaling now that youve been called out. Good show.

Who cares. I obviously meant, Figuratively. But your immature attitude makes it seem literal.

>You seem to approach this subject with the idea that Microsoft is right, and has been right in past situations like this

You seem to have an imagination and you like to make up my opinions. I never said this. All I am saying and I repeat, is that we as users have been wrong before and we could be wrong again. That our biases influence our judgment.

This is not to say that we're wrong now, or that we've been wrong all the time before. It is SAYING that we need to pause and consider our biases BEFORE we jump to a conclusion.

>To assume that every situation like this is just "oh the users are crying, they will realize how good this is" over time is just condescending, and false.

This was never assumed. It was simply stated that it is a possibility. A realistic possibility because it has happened before and it can happen again.

Saying that I am condescending when all I am doing is bringing up cautionary advice to bring awareness to our own biases is the sort of witch hunting practices nobody needs on HN. You embody bias, you embody hostility and you embody the type of principles that run against all science.

Was my original post condescending? No. Was your reply condescending insulting and offensive? Yes.
This is why power users and developers like us should be running with telemetry enabled, so that our actions, the features we use, and the way we use them get accounted for and stop being removed or nerfed into uselessness.

Yes I know there is talk about privacy and security issues with telemetry, and I don't necessarily like it myself, but if we don't vote with our data then the developers of these systems won't recognise what we use and we will lose it.

Probably not the most popular view around here but if companies use these metrics to decide what is important then maybe we should contribute some data.

People also forget Microsoft’s Xbox sales are 3rd place - I.e. last - behind PlayStation and switch. The 360 is the only console they’ve sold that outsold a PlayStation, but technically that flipped at the very end of the console’s lifespan. It’s not like they dominate the market (yet).

Now if they buy Sony or Nintendo then I’ll actually be concerned. But for now they’re hardly controlled opposition or anything lol

Since they are prioritizing and doing one before the other, I would guess that either they need the same people or the same machines to do it. I would expect different machines for the two tasks. So it must be people? Right?

Anyway, I think their priorities are very sensible.
Thinking about it in such binary terms is quite limiting and unhelpful though. It's a spectrum. I would consider ScrapingBee closer to a bootstrapped company than a venture-funded company. Heck, by your definition if I took $5k of friends & family money to start a business that grew to $5M ARR,I could not call that "bootstrapped".

This is why Rob Walling (co-founder of TinySeed) likes to use the term "fundstrapped". There are a lot more funding options out there that do not come with the narrow pathway associated with typical venture funding.
