I was indeed able to read that -- poorly edited, since the "prefacing" part ends up referencing the entire statement -- opinion in its entirety from the link I shared. I think it beggars belief that a "reasonable police officer" could have found the statement in any way ambiguous. At best, if we take your reading of the opinion, putting the phrase "lawyer dog" in quotes like it's a single lexical item is a completely unnecessary jab at the defendant's mannerisms that doesn't inspire confidence in the judge's impartiality.
I don't find that particularly hard to believe. Reading a pitch deck is like reading presentation slides - you can't really know what the author had in mind unless it's really good, and you tend to fill in the blanks with your own biases. That makes reading most decks a bit redundant. It's probably better just to talk to the founders and actually see their pitch.
That uses 4 wires. I was curious to find out how it's done with two. Sites promoting Single Pair Ethernet are amazingly unhelpful.

The relevant standard is IEEE Std 802.3ch™‐2020 [1] This is actually the automotive standard for 10Gb/s over a single pair, but the industrial version seems to be the same thing with different connectors. The relevant section is 149.1.3, "Operation of 2.5GBASE-T1, 5GBASE-T1, and 10GBASE-T1".

It's a single twisted pair of wires, but with a grounded shielding braid. It's not an unshielded untwisted pair, like DSL, or unshielded twisted pairs, like CAT 5 and up. The shield is grounded through the connector. That keeps the noise level down to where 10Gb/s can work. The cables will be more expensive and will be harder to make up than CAT 5, etc. Cable length limits are rather short.

It uses a modem, of course. The basic signal is 4-level pulse amplitude modulation. There's echo cancellation, so sending doesn't blind receiving. That's how it does full duplex over one pair.
One end is master, the other is slave, and this is negotiated automatically at startup. The master end provides the bit clock, and the slave end synchronizes to it. That simplifies echo cancellation; the interference is the same on every bit. (OK, symbol.) At startup there's a link characterization process, where each end finds out exactly what voltage levels it is getting from the other end, and adjusts for that. That's called "training" for historical reasons.
There's 340 bits of forward error correction, because crosstalk from other cables might be a problem.

Although this is nominally a baseband system, actually all the information is in the 1GHz - 4 GHz part of the spectrum. The data is, as with most modems, XORed with a cyclic scramble pattern to eliminate the DC component. That leaves room for DC power over the same wires.

One cute feature - if the two wires are reversed, that's supposed to be detected at startup and corrected. But the connector, which came after the PHY layer spec, isn't reversible.

The root of most date/time problems stems from the fact that we use/have insufficient vocabulary to define what we actually want.

For example, "time" can be used as "time of day" or "duration". In my own work we have to measure "from this time, to that time" and yhd result should be duration. [1]

We also use the phrase Time when we mean Timestamp (a date /time combination). And we use "local timezone" implicitly almost everywhere, where we should be storing everything as UTC and then displaying as desired. (this would make comparisons trivial.)

Daylight savings is an abomination since it means time is not contiguous, and the sooner it goes away the better. This is somewhat solved by using UTC when time-stamping.

Overall I prefer storing everything as UTC, then displaying that as preferred by each user (ie as their local time).

[1] should be, but is instead stored as a time field for historical design reasons.
Please be gentle on these numbers, you already know what HN hug of death is capable of :). It might be quite ancient relays switching it.
"You're acting like PG is sitting on something profound here"

I'm really not. You and others are acting is if he said something far more grandiose and potentially influential than he did.

He's just saying he focuses on teams and products when investing in super early stage companies. Finances matter only to the extent that the company can survive long enough to become sustainable. It's only then that GAAP accounting matters.

It's really not that big a deal. Seriously, which competent startup founder is going to make a decision to "never" take care of balance sheets for their entire company-operating career based solely on this tweet?
What happened with tox.im , are the two products competitors?
Reminds me of comments in MS batch files. I think there is just a program called REM (ie REMark, used to begin comments) which just ignores its arguments and immediately returns.
I think it's pretty unlikely he never done either, let's be real.
With the buffer events and especially `nvim_buf_call` of NeoVim it is possible to do everything without hacks.
I think you need to step outside of your bubble.

More than half the population of Earth logged into a FB product at least once last month. They don't use it out of love or pity for Zuckerberg. They use it because they fucking love to.
Isn’t this because in China some chat and payments app is absolutely massive, WePay I believe?

Edit: It’s WeChat. The SV giants are chasing the ubiquity that app enjoys.
I would certainly hope that all founders have gone through these questions in detail, and may even internally have it written down (even if they didn't call it a business plan), but I guess in an "interview" people might (accidentally or intentionally) paint things very rosy, and sometimes as the owner of the plan you can stare yourself blind in the details.. Having someone like PG question and unpack things in real-time would probably be priceless for most startups! Also remember that when you invest in great people as much as (or even more than) ideas, then the moment-in-time plan matters less/differently somehow.
(not a comment on the content) It's always jarring when I run into a true non HTTP website in the wild, but oddly adding HTTPS to that link shows that a wildcard *.store.yahoo.com certificate is being used (valid from Jan 3, 2022 through June 29, 2022).
Preventing accidental overwriting has been on my todo list for many years. But since it's so very rare in practice I haven't gotten around to it.

Django forms having this problem is, in my opinion, WAY down the list of problems. I originally wrote the forms library in iommi to be able to programmatically create forms in a sane way but it has since evolved to fix many more of the weaknesses of django. Some highlights:

- good rendering of forms to html!

- that can be customized without resorting to writing gigantic amounts of brittle template code

- render form errors

- strip space from inputs by default

- always writes the encoding attr so file uploads work by default instead of silently failing by default

- you don't need to manually pass request.FILES (another silent failure not just beginners get bitten by)

- don't allow misses like duplicate names that causes silent data loss

Plus the iommi features of nesting and having multiple forms/tables/menus/etc on one page with clean composition.
On the subject of writing I think your website has a double negative: "so your data never doesn't get sent to the internet."
pg saying he doesn't need to see your balance sheet isn't the same as saying no one needs to see your balance sheet.
Ricky Gervais is reasonably well known for blocking people who criticize his work / attitude (by which I mean people who think he's a bad writer rather than blaspheming). He says he wants to be cancelled, but if he ever was he'd be making a teary apology within seconds.
One could argue that a date is a region in spacetime. It starts at the dateline, spreads eastward, and ends at the dateline some 48 hours later. (Edit: 50 hours is closer to the truth. And one could quibble about the definition of “dateline”, as Samoa moved across it once.)

I am developing an Apache module that does some authentication stuff, and I needed a way to parse and read JSON in C. I really did not want to deal with doing that myself, and I wanted to avoid any complicated library.

The protesters have been accused of waving confederate and swastika flags in order to frame them as a right-wing group. However, I see mostly Canada flags in this 4K video of the epicenter of the protest. I have yet to find the first confederate or swastika flag in there.

Power over fibre does exist, but it's only used for niche applications (I think some MRI machines use it, for example) due to the low efficiency. I think there are also problems with heat dissipation.

Vaccinated people can be against or even negatively affected by vaccine mandates too.
You should search/replace leverage -> use.
This just shows there is no one definition of security, it depends on context. TLS 1.3 prevents some types of man in the middle attack and thus blocks inline packet inspection.

Certainly on the public internet this is a security win.

Internally, some organizations want to monitor or forensically record network sessions.... for security!

So you trade one form of security for another. Depends entirely on your security requirements.
So… then the tweet is clickbait.

>Is Spe Replacing Existing Ethernet Infrastructure?

>Most likely not. In the current state of development and standardization, SPE transmits 1 GBit/s only up to a distance of 40 meters. 8-wire Ethernet, however, up to 100 meters transmission length. In addition, a large number of interfaces and devices would have to be converted, which is not necessary. Ethernet via just one pair of wires is used where advantages arise through enormous space and weight savings. These are, for example, applications in the railway industry. Here, less weight means enormous cost saving potential.

Interestingly as I was looking up at single pair ethernet, there was even a standard for 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps Ethernet to bring Single pair working within 15M.

Yes, the "character weakness" is a penchant for midwit /r/iamverysmart takes that are well below people's usual expectations. Surely we can agree the reaction is overblown, but as someone said, this is definitely eyeroll material.
This, not only people don't understand context, but they don't care, for them, context is noise (!).
About the 'constexpr if' introducing a scope, they did it volontary against the very good (and fun) proposal of Andrei Alexandrescu, so there must be arguments against 'scopelesd constexpr if' even though I admit that I don't understand what they could be.. After all #if also doesn't introduce a scope!
This is all just semantic nonsense. YC has no more profound understanding of the noun "business plan" than anyone else in the business world. Don't overthink it
I've found it critical to remember this truism when trying to extrapolate from internet posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most...

This rings true anecdotally too. I was a participant on the very same forum and received an admonishment from another commenter about my posting style, which made me realize that my health-problem-induced approach to commenting on the forum was laced with subtle ad hominem barbs and other unproductive habits. Being called out helped me realize how unproductive my engagement was.

I suspect that this dynamic is in play for a lot of fora with less healthy discussion norms than r/ssc (which has to be 99.9% percentile for quality of discussion).

Mentally ill people have more time and inclination to spend time arguing with strangers online. Deducing too much from these interactions I'd simply sampling "what do insane people think about X", which is of limited usefulness.
No surprise there. Consumer apps versus business apps reviews are hilarious.

'My boyfriend dumped me on this app last week. One star.'

'This app listens to my conversations and serves me ads. One star'.

At best it's the product not the applcation being reviewed. At worst, it's the general public howling at the moon.

A good chunk of the people arguing to throw them all in prison are probably one good car accident away from getting hooked on opiates to get through the chronic back pain and winding up like them. Might be you.

And you cannot force people to stop drugs, but most of them really don't want to be doing what they're doing, but they need a way out to be there when they try to find it. Tossing them in jail doesn't work and we can't lock them away for life or execute them.

And they need housing (even while they're on drugs) and they need a job when they start getting clean, or they'll relapse.

You can't force anything, which is kind of the point about why treating it with the criminal justice system is stupid.

In this case it isn't on the ban axis, but it's pretty obvious that Twitter likes edgy statements that are often in the "Ironic lie to make a point" (positive view) or "ironic lie shrouded in fog to let my avoid repercussions" (negative)

The whole point is that he didn't say it as you worded it, it's always about making a dramatic statement.

When you get into the "riling people up" part - like saying "Thanks I'll definitely listen to him now" in response to criticism of someones bona fides - it's very satisfying, but bad for the soul IMO. It subtly distorts how you view empathy because you're always arguing with a hyperreal snapshot of the other person (and them to you)

I am very genuinely curious about whether we disagree on the "Facebook is a bad company" part or not.

And if you think FB is not a bad company. Can the below examples convince you?

If the below examples cannot convince you. Where do you disagree and where do you think I am wrong?

I know this could be way too real for some folks to answer. Especially for folks who use FB for a living (marketing etc) and for FB employees. So hopefully I can encourage some genuine conversations. :)

At that stage, if your business plan or balance sheet is solid, you don't need funding, or you aren't a tech/growth startup.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be in a position to be able to stand up against the mandates. A lot of people are opposed to the mandates and didn't want the vaccine, but ended up being forced to give in and take it anyway.

I am randomly banned from Zelle for no particular reason. AML misfire, I guess. They won't tell me.

There are some very good groups on Facebook for genealogy. Here I can get help when I get stuck again.

Not necessarily. There are situations, for example, where energy that would otherwise be completely wasted is being used to mine BTC.

The most lavish Mesopotamian tomb ever found
If it’s anything like Canada’s INTERAC e-transfers, you ask for the person’s email address; they receive an email bouncing them to a SAML sign-on portal with support for all major banks, which lets them use their bank to SSO into the payment system; and then the payment system uses the SSO-reflected banking details as the destination for depositing the money.
"FPGA" is a big space, like "processor". There are big server CPUs, and tiny microcontrollers.

The FPGA in that iPhone is the FPGA version of a microcontroller. Those are very popular, as glue logic, and for kludging in emergency fixes after production has already begun. They are also not terribly difficult to program; you hardly even need an HDL, much like you often don't really need a compiler to program a microcontroller.

All the "high level synthesis" pfaff is aimed at the big gigantic $20,000-per-chip FPGAs. Those have mostly been a big fat failure, except for a few big military and cryptocurrency-mining sales. They are wonderful for prototyping ASICs, but that application doesn't sell enough chips to be economically meaningful.
> (...) I don't think he's against renewables but (...)

It really makes no difference what's the youtuber's opinion on renewables. The point is that the arguments made by the YouTuber are completely pointless and meaningless, and completely miss the whole point -- and radical improvements -- made over the total dependency on fossil fuels in general and oil in particular.

This video is a classical case of something that's "not even wrong".

If anyone has any interest in the subject, they'd be better served by reading/watching anything else.
you are wrong. in the 80s kids and young adults did not spend their days on twitter on instagram and some of them spent hours playing wargames. there was a vibrant market for it at the time with magazines and shops supporting the players.
