I am not a native english speaker, but I do not really see a big difference between manipulation and deception and dishonesty.

And I rarely call this behavior out in those words in those situations.

Example? Vaccination. I am in the "political" camp of people, who think as much people as possible should get vaccinated against covid.

Still, when I see posts written that go: "there is no reason to not get vaccinated, they are totally safe" (meant especially to covid, but also in a general sense) and I respond, that "no, they are not total safe, there have been incidents of contaminated production batches for example and it is not 100% clear, that for young people there is individually more benefit than potential harm and no doctor ever advised of taking just any vaccination (there are many vaccinations with actual higher risks, only benefiting, when visiting certain areas)" than I have to word it very, very careful or face a shitstorm even here. As in their perception I fight then against their political cause - overcoming the pandemic with more vaccinations. While in my perception they try to reach their goals with lies, which I do not agree with, despite agreeing to the goal.
I find these type of inventions so exciting, taking a consumer device and modifying it for medical purposes. We need more of this type of innovative thinking in the medical field.

I used to work in medical and biotech device development. There are very much two sides to the the development of a medical device, the scientific development and the commercial device. Far to regularly when I was working in the field (particularly diagnostics) researchers would see some positive early results, get some VC money and jump straight in to developing a snazzy device to do it before completely validating their science. They would get distracted by wanting to make a handheld touch screen thing, or a beautifully styled bench top device.

In the 7 years I worked in medical/biotech development only a small portion of the projects I worked on made it to market and then to success. The ones that did, properly validated their science early in the process and kept thing simple and inexpensive.
They aren't so well covered, given how lacking the whole tooling is.

Thankfully WebAssembly + WebGL have brought them back, that is the only reason I appreciate WebAssembly (on the browser).
FWIW, got this:

Modelling Sudoku with a Gym Environment
Big Sur was available for Apple Silicon; presumably there are new hooks in Monterey to support this virtualisation that Apple didn't see the need to backport. It's something of a sore point for Mac devs, as it means it's basically impossible to test their apps on Big Sur on Apple Silicon without having a dedicated box for it...
I didn't say anything about asking other than if in doubt. If you consider even that to be a burden, that is on you.
There’s a difference between business plan and Business Plan, so to speak - a formalized document with a pretty standardized format you used to have if you, for example, wanted to get a loan from a bank.

It’s mostly gone away, but there used to be endless arguments about whether a startup should have a formalized written business plan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_plan. Business schools taught all the MBAs to write them, and everyone used to argue about whether a startup ought to have them.

Today I’m not aware of any VC or investor that requires/wants a Business Plan, almost everyone has settled on a standard pitch deck if anything (though one-page ‘memos’ are becoming a thing, and some investors even eschew those). A few business schools somehow still tell you to create a business plan if you want to raise VC. I invest in ~100 startups/yr and will see a handful of Business Plans sent to me, but not many. I don’t read any.

YC Continuity today would likely look at a deck and definitely ask questions, but still wouldn’t require a Business Plan.

PG probably wouldn’t ever even look at a deck.
Spongebob-CLI – Watch classic spongebob from the terminal
I figured I'd point out why you're (probably) being downvoted in case you don't understand. The problem of payments is obvious, it's literally ancient. It's a ridiculous and naive statement that anyone would have to look at WeChat to realize it's a valuable problem to solve.
Stupid question, how would you transmit the XOR scrambling pattern?
> server typically has done termination of the encrypted call streams as it does its routing.

Dino already supports some kind of "double encryption", where even if DTLS-SRTP is terminated at a media routig or bridging server, there is another SRTP encryption layer. This allows for end-to-end encryption even when DTLS-SRTP is terminated by a server for WebRTC compliance (as WebRTC requires to encrypt using DTLS-SRTP even if transported media was already encrypted through other means).
WeChat Pay (Tencent) and AliPay (Alibaba) are both huge indeed. I have no clue how much cash they bring in, tho I would expect Visa and Mastercard make way more, but they are widely used, especially the former (WeChat is quite the super-app in China)

The reason why they would want this, in my interpretation anyway, is that there is a lot of product fit to have payments on WhatsApp. The app is widely used outside NA as the communication channel, namely by lots of SMBs that actively use it (see [0], that app is solely used for business owners as it's rather useless for a regular WA user). The monetizing opportunities on WA are deeply tied to SMBs, basically you should be able to operate a business on WA in which case you shouldn't have to go off-app once you get to payment, removing payment-middlemen is probably in the interest of all three parties involved too. Payments are necessary to enable "business over chat", you can also see them working on this with Click-to-WhatsApp/Click-to-Messenger ads and the acquisition of Kustomer. This is all valid for Messenger as well but I think that's more of a TBD, it's yet to prove itself popular for that kind of usage, tho there is a good fit for Marketplace and to compete with Venmo. It's also implemented on Facebook and Instagram for their respective Shops platforms, I don't think there's more to it than that for those.

Just like Apple Pay is a rounding error[1], I wouldn't bet on payments being a significant cash cow, not any time soon anyway, considering Facebook's approach to monetization. IMO it's more about deepening the moat and broadening the utility of the apps, especially WhatsApp as it tries to become something of a communication+commerce+payments super-app for Asia/Latam/Africa (credit cards and phone numbers would be rough to displace in North America and Europe, I sure as hell wouldn't bet on FB overtaking those). A Signal or a Telegram could take over a chatting app (if it somehow reaches, like, 2B people), it would be much harder (as if it wasn't hard enough to beat such a network effect) to take over a chatting app with a built-in suite of features for businesses and a user base that gets accustomed to commercial use of said app.

I could also be entirely wrong, I'm just an idiot that tries to follow the company.

As a teacher, I would rather examine my students orally. Shorter and to the point. Much fairer.

In that sense, what he says is normal.

He, the journalist? Not the public? Corruption in the state - in the country -, and of such level, is not just the direct victim's business.

Has there been an uproar in the population?
This is a pretty old project, started long before AI hype. It's still very cool, but I wonder why no one wrote something similar using all the advancements in CV that we have now.
Yes, exactly. But in this case (hidden nuke), you send the nuclear response team to the location and if they say it's there, you have your answer. If it's not, you start on the next finger and keep going until you find the bomb or the bomb explodes (or the terrorist dies).

Of course you're still vulnerable to fakeouts with a decoy device, booby traps or multiple devices, which a sufficiently paranoid fat terrorist would use if he thought he could be caught and tortured, but that's not the scenario given.
Good for them, when they have money to spend on servers. Budget CDNs are much less happy.
We do exist! Never had WhatsApp or instagram, deleted Facebook more than a decade ago.

Slight tangent: I wish there were legitimate threats to kill social media as it stands today. Any threat to the current business model, from anywhere.
As 5Gbps Ethernet is somehow only included in 10Gbps products. I wish as bare minimum that 2.5Gbps Ethernet to completely replace 1Gbps Ethernet. But with current chip supply issue it will be another few years before we see wide adoption.

It is strange when some Nordic countries are already getting affordable 2.5 to 10Gbps Internet.
As someone who considers themselves ‘not a real programmer’ but uses Python, shell scripts, etc to ‘just get things done’, I really love simple utilities like this.

Maybe it’s not the ‘right’ way to get things done, but it’s quick and it works.
while you can argue about to what degree democracy overlaps with majoritarianism it almost definitely doesn't stand for tyranny of the minority, in this case both of the population and, funnily enough, even of truck drivers.

Respect for the constitution and the senate first and foremost implies that you follow lawfully passed legislation instead of throwing a tantrum, otherwise there's little point in having those institutions in the first place.
What do you mean by hackable? Configurable? Extendible? Modifiable?
Unpractical for me, my "devel" folder is organized as follow:

|-+ orga (github, gitlab, other)
| |-+ domain (infra, business, research, ...)
| | |-+ repo-name

VS Code do not support hierarchies of projects in a workspace, so I would just have a huge list of `project-name` where project-name would be manually renamed to `orga/domain/repo-name`.
Yeah I'm unfortunately a nice guy/hard to say no. I sometimes wish I was more of an ahole just so I didn't burden myself. So yeah, I'm not trying to really say karma or whatever, even though I myself can't pull it off.

Can't save the entire world but can do something.
Just the other day I was trying to figure out how to link a bot into Teams in the background to deal with this exact problem: if I get a message which only says something like "got a moment?" it would automatically send back "what's the issue?" or something similar.
Just showing people the numbers should help, right? "Do you want to spend $3000 on this meeting?" At one BigCo with a pretty positive reputation, it's a multi-week process involving at least 5 people to try to spend $20 on a software license.
Are you referring to FB as a product or company? I have no love for Facebook nor other products of its owner, Meta, but I am not surprised that the company introduces payments.

Just that they chose to brand it as an attachment to the Facebook product. "Meta" currently operates with moral tabula rasa when it is not referred to as "FB/Meta". Facebook - in both meanings - seems to be disgraced. I was under the impression that the name change was, among other reasons, due to low reputation.

> I think you need to step outside of your bubble.

The issue with living in a bubble is a somewhat distorted reality. I am aware of this and _trying_ not to be shortsighted. I feel otherwise quite comfortable in my moral bubble. Often I have to go out of my way to achieve something, but for me life is about agreeing with self not about making everything easy.
The story seems to be in multiple urls, each with their own stunted HN discussion. Hard to tell if that's harming it's uptake on HN or the core accusation strikes deep at some community values.

While I acknowledge absolute free market may result in tragedy of the commons in many scenarios, you gave a pretty poor counterexample

American towns are going bankrupt because federal/state subsidies (e.g. the Highway Act) allowed them to make inefficient decisions like creating financially unsustainable suburbs instead of intensifying urban areas
All grocery stores were like this a hundred years ago. You didn't walk around the store shopping but instead you would give your order at the counter and a shop assistant would fetch the stuff for you. Though I think this was more about customer service than a shoplifting deterrent. Much the same as my father hates self checkout because he sees scanning and bagging items as an employee's job, not his.

The innovation of self-service shopping was novel enough that Clarence Saunders, founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store chain, was granted a patent on the business model in 1918: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1242872A

So I guess we're come full circle back to the old ways of retailing.
> in the 80s there was still a live issue of the convention that 'he' could cover both genders, and so on.

Still is, AFAICS. And I'm not entirely unsympathetic to the traditional view that it can.

> I'd been reading long enough, with enough older writing, that I can remember how attempts at nonsexist writing could be jarring and awkward

Still are, sometimes.

Long before me, it seems.

> the Right Answer to How We Should All Talk is not divinely revealed.

Kind of isn't -- and kind of is: It's informed by lots of things, like prevailing usage, history, social upheaval, fleeting fashions, and... Simple logic. From a single speaker's perspective, most of those are pretty much "divine revelation"; none of us can single-handedly change these phenomena.

Especially for numbers, which more than most other aspects of language are governed by mathematical logic, which less than all the other governing phenomena changes over time.

> "But this isn't for liberation! It's dumb!" Maybe.

No "maybe" about it; it just plain simply is dumb. That's not how numbers work. Also, to the extent that Kragen wants to promote a "long now" perspective: Why just one prefix zero? Bah, that's still practically the day after tomorrow! That should be at least three zeros! Or, heck, why not six -- or fifteen?

See where that gets us in the end? Yeah, exactly: Nowhere. It's just ridiculous.

> I think seeing so many complaints, so consistently, about this eccentricity, is a real (albeit trivial) signal of a cultural problem.

Yup. And when one person persists in being "a cultural problem" that is sometimes a sign that something is wrong with the culture... And far, far more often a sign that something is wrong with that person. Shaving this situation with the oldest(?) of the philosophical Razors, I'm leaning towards Kragen's affectation.

> (Admittedly I dunno, maybe it's just that HN has a lot more commenters and the fraction who do this is a big enough number now. But it's part of a broader pattern.)

I think it's just simply that the HN readership is above-Internet-average literate and STEM oriented, and therefore tends to get annoyed at illiterate -- and innumerate! -- writing more than you might be likely to see elsewhere on the Net.

> I hope this helps you see my point of view, starting this thread.

Sure. Are you getting mine?

> Can't speak for Kragen.

If only they could speak for themself.
I cannot offer you details, but many articles get redistributed as an exact copy in dozens of other sites. Either it is a network, or there is legal legitimacy to copy, or the article is proposed to many...
It’s also a bit of an IQ test to see how you can hit balls back across the net with zero preparation.
Does taking the time to write a business plan help one pass a 5 min PG interrogation?
It seems that vscode has won the race. I think atom fell out of favor a few years ago.
From the Statement by Josh Renaud about Missouri investigation:

> This decision is a relief. But it does not repair the harm done to me and my family. // My deepest desire is that somehow this situation might be redeemed. And I believe it can be. // My actions were entirely legal and consistent with established journalistic principles.
> There are half a dozen people who DM me each day with "Hi." or "Good morning". ...And nothing else.

This must be a company culture thing. Approximately no one at my company does it.

On the contrary, it feels like a waste of everyone’s time to do the TCP handshake thing before asking the question, just fire off your UDP packet with the “hi” pleasantry and actual substance in all in one.

In a prior life as a regulator I read formal business plans (legally required) which probably looked quite different from what you're talking about. It's a generic noun used in various business contexts.

The business plan for a startup pitching to a VC will look different than the plan an SMB submits to a bank
most laws are tools the rich use to fight each other by proxy of poor people
I would like to use software written by people who do not think computers are just a distraction. If one thinks that it's a software engineer's job to shovel features, then it can be difficult to make software that has the same features but is more performant and correct, or to make software that has fewer features because some features were only needed to compensate for the incredibly awful performance.
Worth noting PS5 games are compressed using Kraken and decompressed via an hardware decoder. Same games can be twice as big on PC or Xbox.
It's not a deliberate policy. There's precious little else to put your money in so the Chinese end up using property as a savings account.

Developers will often skimp on construction quality as a result, since they know that nobody will actually be living in them.
I don't understand the mechanics of this protest. One big tow truck could move all the trucks out of the way, disabled brakes and flat tires or not, in a few hours and clear the roads. The city/government can't find a few tow trucks? Are the Canadian police actively supporting the protesters by not bringing in a tow truck? Couldn't the national guard equivalent make short work of this? Seems like the road blocks could have been ended a week ago, even if the protests continued.
D has many cool features. I always wonder why it is not (more?) popular?
Thanks for sharing your experience! What is the advantage of using single pair ethernet in for example cars? My company owns a largish drone and it has a regular CAT5 network so surely it can't be weight or size.
Some people lost human interaction, some people gained working in remote companies for x times larger salary and potential to work on something big.

I don’t know what is the sentiment in the US snd SV specifically, but Europe-based talent won’t return to offices or work in local companies or apply for work visas and migrate to US any time soon. If companies want to reach all these talented engineers they will have to operate remote-only, even if they hate zoom meetings.

It was about this time in history when the need to combine information from multiple security levels couldn't be done by computer due to restrictions in the way the operating systems worked, so coordination of Air Strike missions in the Viet Nam war had to be done by hand.

This is the beginning of the research that resulted in Multilevel Secure Operating Systems, the Rainbow Books, and Capability Based Security.

They knew how to make secure operating systems in the 1970s. Much like the abandoned Apollo program, this research didn't see much actual use.
And battery density still hasn’t changed much since then, despite him claiming we are always just a year away from doubling it. Sounds familiar…
In the UK you have the right to remain silent, but "it may harm your defence if you fail to mention, when questioned, something you later come to rely on in court" (or something like that is what the police tell anyone they arrest).

So you sorta do sorta don't.

I'm aware it's in the standard now, my point is that it's taken them a very long time to get to this state and what they do have isn't all that impressive. Concepts have possibly taken my actual whole life although I don't know when the first proposal was.

That is a damp squib, of all the things I view as hacky in D that is not one of them.

Local imports are favoured for stylistic reasons anyway, they don't actually make all that much difference for code that isn't dead anyway. What's wrong with importing things where they are used?

IIRC Andrei proposed the local imports, but it was only a matter of removing an error message because they were banned at the time.
Fair? Some people do much better in writing due to anxiety etc.
Oh well, gotta learn google too I guess.

Thanks!
The article gets into some technical rules consequences that are fresh and interesting relative to the usual zoning and NIMBYism discussions. I think they would apply to markets where developer interest, rather than a planning commission, is the limiting factor.

- Condo projects are uniquely sensitive to credit availability for first time buyers. Shifting credit towards established buyers naturally shifts housing starts towards SFHs since that is what established buyers want. I would imagine this would also be at play in the disappearance of starter houses.

- Developer warranty encourages HOAs to become involved in litigation right as the building starts to be occupied. You can’t get a mortgage in a building with ongoing HOA litigation. Once the developer has sold enough units to generate a lawsuit but not enough units to cover his costs, he gets stuck in limbo squatting on inventory until the lawsuit settles. You could imagine ways of fulfilling both intents without such an unfortunate interaction.
