You as Android user live in a an apartment block.
Your neighbor below has iPhone. Your neighbor keep getting warnings on his phone that unrecognized AirTag is nearby. He can’t find any and doesn’t speak with you about it.

When moving across the city it would be even worse as there is no neighbor that would get the tracking warnings.
Tears in the Rain: The 2002 Überlingen midair collision
We are 2 minutes to midnight not just of our own causing but of the natural cycles of the Earth, the sun, and in fact the galaxy. Those who fight for survival are the fittest to do so, with all that this implies, and we are lucky it's not that Adolf guy from the 40s who is preparing to send people to Mars.

On Earth moral conduct is often only a luxury. If the risk assessment conducted by the global survivalists is correct, then in this case we could not afford morals. This is the diabolic equation which structures the lives of the elite.

Nice essay. I wonder where does helping family come into play here?

Let’s say your family is poor and could use extra help. It seems selfish to deliberately take a lower paying job when a higher paying job could help your loved ones.

Also what happens when you meet someone and want to start a family? Although the author may be ok with certain constraints in living, their spouse and children may have different preferences. In that situation it also seems selfish to pursue this low income life.

All in all the essay seems to work well for people who are okay with living alone and apart from their family and loved ones.
Thanks for sharing this. This is genuinely becoming the start of a paradigm shift. Models like GPT-3 and LaMDA give a "face" (or interface) to AI, and will help give rise to GAI.

LaMDA: Thank you for that information. I’m sorry for assuming.
I hope that we can continue this conversation as friends.
Have a nice day, my he/him.

This dialog is definitely funnier than the joke itself. Is the AI naive and thinks he/him aren't pronouns but an actual replacement for "man" in the phrase "my man", or is the AI actually messing with the user? Pretty sure the user couldn't tell either lol.

Hmm, you might be right. I still think the US system tends to be very heavily driven by the opposing forces of the constitution and the government though, and has a lot of hard rules that don't seem particularly realistic (if a defendant says some magic phrase they fall under the constitution's protection, otherwise they're in trouble - it's a little like something sovereign citizens might dream up). While most countries let governments or the courts strike what they consider to be a balance.

Ever heard of Snowden, Manning and Assange (who isn’t even a US citizen!)? While I agree that the US isn’t China or Russia, it’s closer to those than other western countries. If you told someone in Europe about asset forfeitures, they would think you’re from some rogue state.
I have no such plans, but I don't think that creating an esoteric smart contract causes more harm than telling people that their weekend project is making the world worse.
It isn't multiplexed. You get the responses back in the same order that you request them. I actually prefer this because I use pipelining outside the browser. I do not want to have to re-ordering responses. I have never found the lack of multiplexing to make HTTP/1.1 pipelining any less useful.^1 It is still fast. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 appear to be designed for a web of advertising, not a web where someone is using non-browser programs to efficiently request multiple files via HTTP from a single IP address.

Some browsers implemented it, at least temporarily. However the important point no one mentions is that servers implemented it, permanently. I have been using HTTP/1.1 pipelining continuously since the mid 2000's. I could not even name an httpd that does not implement support for HTTP/1.1 pipellining (no doubt some HN commenter will come up with one, but it is a rare exception to the general rule).

1. I do not need compressed HTTP headers either. I like ASCII headers as they are useful record separators for catenated HTML. I have the forward proxy configured to add useful headers that provide additional information about the connection.
Most people with Android phones participate in society with everyone else, and don't segregate themselves away from anyone who might have an iPhone.
CAN is lousy if your messages are larger than 8 bytes. And, invariably, your messages eventually end up larger than 8 bytes. Then you have to deal with CANOpen and your life becomes hell.

I also find some of the CAN architecture decisions kind of questionable nowadays. A lot of stuff like ACK and retransmit in the hardware made sense back when microcontrollers were expensive. Nowadays, its just something that chip implementors are likely to screw up that you can't fix with software.

> 2. Secure server software ($5000). This does not seem to be an absolute necessity; there are a lot of sites on the web where you can send your credit card number unencrypted, and to date there have been no reports of the numbers being stolen. But catalog companies may believe that a secure link is necessary, and spending this $5000 would give Webgen a much more professional look.
Sparse operations still don’t have good support in any of the generic SIMD instructions (avx2/512, Neon), or in GPU…

And memory access/cache should also be optimized for them to have even more power saving and better speed.

For ASICs/FPGAs implementations, however, there’s no such limit and perf gains are higher.
When I'm stuck in a traffic jam on the autobahn in Germany and it's almost impossible to move forward at all, I see it all the time that people want to change lanes in the hope that they can gain a few meters there.

In return, they cause a traffic jam in the new lane to the rear.

Therefore, I would report from anecdotal experience that lane changes are possible even at near standstill.
What are you interviewing for? A perfect human or someone who can fulfill a job function?
I think we shoudnt even call it a vulnerability. They send the 'secret' information in the html file, hoping that the browser does not render it (which it doesnt, so 'viewing source' was the way to see the information). I am actually surprised that the dont charge the person who set up that system; it is like broadcasting the confidential information.

I probably should have said arguable, not technical. That's what's in the article. I guess we never really know if the law was broken at all unless a jury gives a verdict, so it's all a bit hypothetical.

Suppose there's a law that says you can't film other people without their permission. You catch a thief breaking into someone's house, film them, and give it authorities enabling their identification, then delete the footage. I'd describe this as a technical breach of the law. It probably shouldn't be prosecuted.

This is kind of analogous to the present situation, a bit of a rough analogy I admit. Whether or not a law was broken, the journalist did something that was a net positive to society, with no real victim except a red-faced politician.
What you described has been available for a long time. The old Facebook Pay (i.e. the ability to send payments to your friends via ACH) has been available in Messenger for at least 5 years (probably even longer). This new Facebook Pay seems to just add an easy way to link payment methods to your account and pay merchants on Facebook/Instagram.

That's not too surprising. One of the reasons we get traffic jams that persist is that when the car ahead of you accelerates out of it at the other end, you wait a little until there's some distance between you until you accelerate out of it.

So effectively, by waiting for separation before speeding up, you're transmitting the congestion upstream.

Of course, real people can't just floor it at the same time as the person ahead of them. When the military drives in tight convoys, they use things like hand signals to make everyone throttle up at the same time and maintain the distance between them. It's frightening the first few times you do it because it goes against all instincts.

So yes, that works. No, it's not a practical solution.

> I believe that in the UK, Canada, Australia you have the right to remain silent

In Australia, not always true. You have no right to remain silent if questioned by an Examiner of the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), a rather Star Chamber-esque federal law enforcement agency tasked with investigating terrorism, organised crime and other “major crimes” (a rather ill-defined category; pretty much any murder investigation could be given that label if they wanted to, although most murders wouldn’t interest them.) However, while they can force you to answer questions, they aren’t directly allowed to use your answers to prosecute you (but they can use them to prosecute other people, and they may be able to use them against you indirectly, if your answer leads them to discovering new physical evidence or witnesses.) You have the right to a lawyer, and the lawyer is allowed to object to questions, but you still have to answer them-if they object, they can attempt to get a court order after the fact to stop the answers from being used, if your lawyer doesn’t object at the time a court can dismiss an application for any such order on that basis. Also, if they call you in for questioning, it is a crime for you to tell anyone except for your own lawyer that they are questioning you.

> The right to council is often for the trial, not telling you how to avoid answering questions during a police interview.

It is important for the interview too. One’s lawyer can object to leading questions. They can give advice on how best to answer questions-you can be telling the truth, but some ways of phrasing the truth can sound much better than others. They can give advice on when it would be best to exercise one’s right to silence, and when it might be better not to.

Sometimes it even just serves to scare the police off. One guy I know was a bit of a hothead when he was younger, ended up in a fistfight, he put the other guy in hospital. He claimed self-defence, and it was one of those iffy “Who started it? Did he use excessive force in defending himself?” cases. He swears the only reason he wasn’t prosecuted, is he turned up to his official police interview with this really expensive, locally well-known criminal lawyer, and that scared the police and prosecution off, he was never charged. Who knows, but he’s probably right. Probably there’s some other guy out there who was in a similar situation, whose parents couldn’t afford that kind of lawyer (or didn’t know who they were or where to find them), and ended up being charged, going to trial, maybe even convicted, or talked into pleading guilty for a lesser sentence.
I much prefer attending a talk in person versus through zoom.

The interaction is better, you can interrupt the speaker more politely, and the speaker can look at audiences reactions and adjust or pause.

> For many trans/GNC people, gender is an important part of their identity

Acknowledged.

> and actively avoiding the act of gendering manifests as another form of violence

...wait, no, absolutely not.

Not having others proactively acknowledge what you feel is an important part of your identity is not “violence”. It’s human life.

It’s completely fine to just opt out of participating in this social game of gender, sex, and identity, no matter how strongly some may feel about it and how ingrained it’s become into their identities. The struggle is real but at some point, society accommodating for the anxiety of an individual becomes counter-productive.
These questions cover product description, value prop, market analysis, financial projections and more, all of which are the core of a “business plan”.

There is a key difference though - none of the YC questions are about the planning bit of a business plan. None of them are about what you're going to do in the near term future. It's all about what you've done so far and where you believe you could be when you exit.

The issue with business plans isn't that they include a report on what you've done to date. It's the idea that you can reasonably predict what you plan to do over the next year or two. Lots of more traditional businesses can do that, and a business plan is appropriate for them, but a YC startup needs to be significantly more agile than that. Any plan will certainly be wrong, so there no point wasting time making one.
Does ruby come standard on most distros (Eg mainly thinking of RHEL-based here), or you’d have to install it usually?
Exorbitant prices beg to differ.
It could be interpreted in several ways, and you're choosing the worst possible way to argue against. And you're totally overlooking the fact that his career success since the very start of YC has hinged entirely on giving good advice to startups and focusing on the right things. You might think that after 17 years and countless successful companies, we might just think twice about presuming ignorance or malice in what he's saying.

The point of this tweet is just that balance sheets don't determine outcomes for early stage startups; good products and excited users do. Balance sheets matter later. Many of the teams PG invested in were not even incorporated when he invested in them.
A big reason for fb to care is that it makes it easier to attribute the purchase to the add (so they can claim they should get paid more by the advertiser), which can be particularly useful to them on iOS where they can have problems tracking people from one app (where they see the ad) to an app where they pay for the thing.

There's only so many ways of assigning scarce resources to a number of participants. And none of them are perfect.

FIFO is one. Lottery is another. Bidding money (auction) is another, where applicable.

There are more complex schemes like ranked choice, but that becomes increasingly complex to implement, requires goods to be somewhat interchangeable, and also requires education (not everyone knows what ranked choice is, but everyone knows what 'first come first serve' means)
Maybe, or maybe it’ll be “that crooked prosecutor let him go, you need to re-elect me so I can replace the prosecutors.”
I should have said arguable, not technical, as you say in your comment.

In the article linked the prosecutor expresses that opinion.

That form of justice is unacceptable.

Depending on state law and the requirements of the condo bylaws major changes in the condo rules in many projects require a supermajority of residents to vote in favor of such a change, so rule changes aren't necessarily something that can be easily or arbitrarily changed for important aspects of the project.

> In 1999, Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB).

...

> Under GLB, companies can sell their customers’ financial data to anyone they choose, including credit card information such as the date, amount, and recipient of charges, and the personal details consumers provide when they fill out applications. Consumers have no privacy under federal regulations unless they affirmatively take steps to “opt out” of this sharing, repeating the process for each and every financial service provider who may have data about them.

...

> Even this opt-out option is not available for consumers to stop credit card companies and issuing banks from sharing this data with their financial affiliates and financial “joint marketers,” a vaguely defined term that provides a giant loophole in privacy protections.

PS. Just to make sure - I'm not trying to defend Facebook here, or credit card companies.
I think with most chat mediums it's hard to escalate / archive a chat thread into a post somewhere that could be useful as a support reference for example. And there is nothing in discord preventing people from escalating into associated mailing lists, forms and bug trackers like IRC, it just isn't culturally done, except maybe a few with github issue trackers.
LOL. Reminds me when I got scammed paying for something with my card through Cash app. Even though they identified that I had got ripped off their support script had a bug that would not allow them to refund me, so they said it was easier just to terminate my account.
D's doesn't allow global variables or pointer arithmetic or monkey business like converting integers to pointers, the rest is supported.
"Literally everyone knows that those things don't matter for super early stage startups."

If literally everyone knows that then I don't need to be commenting, as my replies in this subthread are to someone insisting that balance sheets matter even before a company has a working product. Clearly they don't.

It seems the people "reacting" are imagining some deeper intention or elaborate plot or some complicated character weakness behind it all.

I just see him repeating what he's said for years: for early stage companies, you should just focus on making something people want.

> Also what happens when you meet someone and want to start a family? Although the author may be ok with certain constraints in living, their spouse and children may have different preferences. In that situation it also seems selfish to pursue this low income life.

I'd expect lifestyle to be one of the things people take into account when considering starting a life together. So if the potential spouse had different, incompatible, preferences, I'd expect the couple to not get to the point of starting a family.

The question still stands for the kinds, though, but I'd expect this to always be the case. Kids practically never get a say in their parents' choices and have to make do.
