I doubt the agency landed any real clients as the companies Ali claimed to have access to through personal connections and past experience likely stick with vetted design agencies and probably have fairly extensive contract procedures. If Ali had focused on low to mid-tier clients they may have been able to land some contracts, my two cents.

This is a total pedantitangent but I don't think that's actually true. These wikipedia pages don't talk about it directly but I think give a bit of the flavour/related info that suggest it's not nearly that set in stone:

The second one, in particular, says early versions of Peter I's Civil Script had the g-looking small д, so these variants have been used concurrently for some time.
If you wish for people to stop seeking the protection of their civil liberties, perhaps then you should stop attempting to undermine those civil liberties through the likes of secret courts and secret laws, warrantless mass surveillance, warrantless seizure of property, proprietary software, and other various techniques that western oligarchs have pushed in the interest of preventing so-called "terrorism".
I think that the issue is that there is no true metric for “highly marketable talents/traits.” One generations genius could be another generations average worker, solely because market forces eliminate the competitive advantage of certain things. Many, many authors seem to lament the distractability of the current generations yet I would bet you many of the most famous people to Gen Z are incredibly attention-fickle. Whereas, 20 years ago, focus would probably be an essential skill for key performers.
Look up Wernher Von Braun. A group of people thought Jim Crow was a great idea. A group of BP executives thought it was a great idea to not fix oil leaks in Nigeria and poison a bunch of people. I think you miss the point. People with power in any system can use that power for bad. It’s not the economic system that causes this it’s shitty humans that do.

I mean demanding compensation well above the value they create. Being an Apple Genius is not worth the same salary as a typical lawyer, generally speaking. If a union were to demand that, it would be cheaper to remove the Apple stores.

> I always come at this from "getting my cut." When the family business did well our pay always went up.

Apple's too big for that to work directly. Stock compensation is the best mechanism for larger companies to implement "getting a cut".
I haven't looked at their paper but I think I understand the concept.

Algorithm or not, they are just a little fish that can't possibly do very much to alter the direction of a marketplace whale they don't control.

The only way for this concept to have any real overall significance is if they establish their own separate crypto and be the only "market maker" for it. But then this is "centralization" all over again.
My favourite line manager and I were both extremely opinionated people, and once every six months or so we'd end up borrowing a conference room and having a straight up shouting match about a set of design decisions where we both had strongly held views on how it should be done.

By the end of the shouting match though we'd pretty much always come up with a third design that was far better than either of the two we'd had in mind going in, and we both regarded it as a matter of passionate advocacy rather than being a personal attack.

However, we were very much temperamentally suited to that dispute resolution approach, and neither of us would have ever attempt to use it with any of our other coworkers because none of them would've found it remotely pleasant.

(to be clear, given the way Chris Lattner seems to have come away from the interaction feeling, somebody absolutely fucked up in this case, but it seemed worth noting that there do exist cases where things are different)
As a frame of reference, how much loss of FLUSH'd data should be expected on power loss for a semi-permanent storage device (including spinning-platter hard drives, if anyone still installs them in machines these days)?

I'm far more used to the mainframe space where the rule is "Expect no storage reliability; redundancy and checksums or you didn't want that data anyway" and even long-term data is often just stored in RAM (and then periodically cold-storage'd to tape). I've lost sight of what expected practice is for desktop / laptop stuff anymore.

In my case it's been a gradual process. I made a web site, created a Facebook group, and started collecting emails. It helps a lot to get a few people who are interested in the same things you are. Strong Towns is another one to look into for allies.
You don't need to tell your CC to pay some entity on a set schedule. I don't think my initial post was clear enough.

Credit cards are paid in arrears, usually with a 15 day grace period, so you are effectively getting a 15-30 day interest free loan on all purchases. When you set up a credit card, you can select any payment date you want. So, if I get a new AMEX, I can choose to have the bill due on the 1st, or 12th, or any day I want.

If I pay all my bills (i.e. Netflix, car insurance, etc.) with my AMEX, I know the AMEX bill is due every 12th (or whatever day of the month I choose). For any bill paid by the credit card (i.e. Netflix, car insurance, etc.), it doesn't matter what day of the month that particular bill gets charged to the AMEX. I only pay AMEX once a month, on the day I selected. So, by choosing what day my AMEX gets paid, I am effectively choosing which date I am required to pay all of the bills that got charged to my AMEX.

There are very few things that you can't pay by credit card. For those (i.e. mortgage, some utilities), you can schedule auto-payments on any day you want, through your bank.

The trouble is, such community requires payback. You need ot just take, you need to give. And often in ways you don't like giving or more then you like. It requires a lot more negotiation with more people, compromise about what we are used to be autonomous in and conformity.

The strong individualism is not really compatible with that.

On HN when these structures are talked about, it is always only in terms of essentially free labor from extended family.
Between discussing what to build next with your PM, discussing how to build the next thing with the experts on your team (architects, UX, devs), collaborating with other devs (pair and mob programming), figuring out how to improve the way you work as a team, not to mention the many other shared decisions a team makes, there's no way to jam all of that into anything less than 50% of your time.

Honestly, I'd expect all of that to take up your entire work day, and really to do very little else (except overhead, like filling out timesheets or training), but I understand that people are so used to working alone, it's probably not actually possible to get folks to break those (bad) habits.

Software development is done best as a team sport. I just don't see how anyone could do the prioritizations listed out in the Agile Manifesto without talking to one another, a lot:

> Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

> Working software over comprehensive documentation

> Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

> Responding to change over following a plan [0]

Every single one of these promotes communication ("talking to one another") and pushes aside "alone time". There's a reason for that.

I look forward to his TED talk.
Sven was an outstanding community builder. I met him several times at Linux User Group events and congresses. He connected people old and new, organising so many pre- and post-event gatherings, brunches and so on, that many people got to know each other via Sven. His passion to help new people feel welcome in existing communities certainly helped to grow the Linux and Free Software communities in Berlin, Germany and beyond.

I'm glad to have known him. I just realised that to this day my ~/.vimrc contains settings I once learned in one of his courses (you can find this stuff at https://www.guckes.net/vim/).

R.I.P. Sven.

I'm really hoping the battery has a low-voltage cutoff... I guess the question is: does the battery cut the power, or does the laptop? In the latter case, this may be "ok" for some definition of ok. The former, there's probably not enough juice to do anything.
Hahaha, this is quite funny to me since I write some of those boring high performance simulation libraries. In my defense I'll note that e.g. Stim [1] isn't just fast; it has correctness tools. For example, stim circuits can include DETECTOR annotations that state which measurement sets should be deterministic. It's not a type system, but oh boy does verifying that information help a lot when debugging error correction circuits. I have other examples, but I digress.

I would love if someone could make a type system that gave me similar benefits and scaled to complete algorithms. But a verbose system for keeping track of who-touched-who just isn't it.

> Given similar practice regimens and training/feedback,

But that's the point, I think.

Sure, "natural talent" might lead to a reduction in necessary practice time, but what if you spent 1.5x or 2x or 3x the time, or used a different practice method that was more suited to your needs?

I believe I am one of those people who just needed more time, and I've seen success. It was definitely demotivating watching others improve faster or seemingly not need improvement at all, it just came to them naturally. But I have an obsession, which led to me being very methodical about practice, time, etc. And it worked out.
The article says they hired sales people as well. Maybe that was the plan? Use "credit" to get the product and the buyers, ball gets rolling, zero to one done.

But it seems a bit nuts too. It actually takes effort to run a business with a bunch of people, and more if you have to remember all the lies you told each person.

Perhaps what it really says is that success appears so superficial these days, a random chancer thought he was close enough to having all the pieces that he gave it a shot. It's only a few steps away from "this equity will be worth a million in 4 years".
Now try filtering on a relation!
> If you see yourself supporting these anti-Democratic viewpoints, ask yourselves: "Are we the baddies?"

I think only in the domain of history the "baddies" term make sense. Until then (historical perspective and taking the survival bias into consideration), the majority is "just" that. Not to dismiss it, of course, being a basis of democracy.
It's a new name for "eventually consistent replication". The key factor is : no single point of reconciliation for conflicts/concurrency control. It's not really the application that's important, but rather the arrangement of the nodes running the application (peers, no central server).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if these drives are used for consumer applications, this behavior is probably not a big deal? If you made changes to a document, pressed control-S, and then 1 second later the power went out, then you might lose that last save. That'd suck, but you would have lost the data anyways if the power loss occurred 2s before, so it's not that bad. As long as other properties weren't violated (eg. ordering), your data should mostly be okay, aside from that 1s of data. It's a much bigger issue for enterprise applications, eg. a bank's mainframe responsible for processing transactions told a client that the transaction went through, but a power loss occurred and the transaction was lost.
fosspatents? I strongly remember this alleged FOSS supporter shilling for Oracle back in the day of the Oracle v. Google case.

On the topic of the article: good. Apple was clearly taking the piss by charging 27% for not processing payments, immediately after being told by a legal authority that a 30% cut on in app payments was anticompetitive.
That paragraph is wrong. So it's pointless to wonder why Feynman wrote what he wrote (that is unless you are interested in the man himself). She specifically had a PS in the letter where she said she had "a devious motive in writing to [Feynman] because on the exam [she] answered with the explanation that [Feynman's] book gave". I'm sure Feynman would've had his share of experience with grade grubbers and probably (and a bit unkindly) assumed that this woman was one. She also clearly refused to believe her professor when he explained the problem to her. Yes, Feynman could have been more kinder and more charitable with his time, but if you have worked in academia, then you'll also know that the vast majority of professors would completely ignore correspondence of this sort from an undergraduate.
I believe the consensus is that OTs are not that great if a client goes offline for too long, they work perfectly for situation where multiple people are concurrently editing, even with brief disconnections. But you can’t go offline and massively diverge then merge back. That’s what CRDTs do well.

A good example of successful CRDT usage is the Apple Notes app, you can heavily edit a note on two different devices (may be different users on a shared doc) with one disconnected from the internet and they will successfully merge the changes. It’s perfect for that sort of “asynchronous” collaboration.
I generally agree with you. However, as a pedantic note, Metrolopis, Rosenbluth, Rosenbluth, Teller and Teller was in 1953 and Hastings was 1970.
If Google went to 4% and Apple stayed at 30%, a lot of people would still be buying iPhones and not caring.

The mental model I had is that AirTags are manufactured with a private/public key pair burned into them that allows Apple to validate the thing you are linking to your account on initial setup is really a legit AirTag.

It appears none of that was ever true and you can register just anything as an AirTag that speaks the right BLE with no secrets required for a world full of iPhones to start tracking them.

So yeah, expect chinese clones to show up within a month, for five dollars each and certainly no speaker included.

The PC laptop manufacturers have worked around this for decades by selling so many different short-lived model numbers that you can rarely find information about the specific models for sale at a given moment.
Why? During a crash or lockup acked writes still reached the drive. They will be flushed to the storage eventually by the SSD controller. As long as you have power that is.
It's amazing the abilities that 50 years can bring a programming language. Longest, most painful design debate ever.
There is no particular reason why an NFT must be associated with a JPG file, as opposed to a physical object. It's just a certificate, after all. Instead of (or in addition to) the usual IPFS URL you would have a detailed description of the physical artwork, including any identifying marks, and of course some evidence that the NFT issuer was in fact the original owner of the piece.

It gets a bit dicey if someone later decides to sell the physical art without passing along the NFT, or vice-versa, but then again the same thing could happen with a traditional (physical) certificate of authenticity. Presumably the artwork would still have some value even without the certificate, as there are other ways to establish its authenticity; the reverse may or may not be true.

>Like, any product revision that could potentially produce a different behavior must have a discernable revision number published as part of the model number.

AFAIK samsung does this, but it doesn't really help anyone except enthusiasts because the packaging still says "980 PRO" in big bold letters, and the actual model number is something indecipherable like "MZ-V8P1T0B/AM". If this was a law they might even change the model number randomly for CYA/malicious compliance reasons. eg. firmware updated? new model number. DRAM changed, but it's the same spec? new model number. changed the supplier for the SMD capacitors? new model number. PCB etchant changed? new model number.

Ask HN: How to get a high school internship?
Hello there. I am a high school senior and am interested in computer programming and linux system administration.

Sometimes I like to check the internship section on hiring positions available in the monthly _Who's hiring_ post.

But every internship has certain specifications which usually include (at least) 4th semester of an undergraduate degree, etc. As you may imagine, I am yet to be in that position. I will be starting a CS Engineer Degree in the Fall of 2022, but I would be quite interested in gaining some experience from any Computer Science real workplace worlds.

I am looking for suggestions on how to start looking for these kinds of internships, from what I've been looking online I haven't really found anything relevant. I'd be open for any positions (physically) near Mexico City and/or virtually with international companies or even US! (I am a US citizen if that matters).

I am not (currently) living in the United States. I was raised and born there for four years but all my education has been in Mexico, near Mexico City.

If you'd like some tldr'd CV it's:

- Highschool PrepaTec Toluca - Tec de Monterrey. 2019-2022

- Local Robotics Highschool team. Known as TECBOT [0]. I currently lead the teaching of rookies for the programming area and have been on the team since 2019 (since the end of middle school).

- tecbot github: [4]

- Github: [1] trevcan.

- Self-hosted server website: [2]

- I have a blog @ `/blog`, and a

- git server @ [3]

- I'll be starting a CS engineering degree in the fall of 2022 at Tec de Monterrey Campus Toluca (a.k.a. ITESM, near Mexico City).

- English. Almost native. Latest score: C1 (made less than six months ago).

- Also speak native Spanish.

I love racket/gui and recently shipped a product using it for a diagnostics tool! The killer features are as you said that it uses native widgets, but also that it doesn't require any sort of dynamic linking to heavyweight C libraries (other than the ones Racket itself comes with) and that you can easily compile it in a redistributable form with basically no dependencies for all platforms. I can't recommend it enough.

Why wouldn't you leave those things on? Apple designed iOS for those things to be handled and turned on when needed. BLE is quite low in power, GPS is only on when location services need it. These are concerns I would have had about 10-15 years ago, but I don't now.

> As long as other properties weren't violated (eg. ordering), your data should mostly be okay, aside from that 1s of data.

That's the thing though—ordering isn't guaranteed as far as I remember. If you want ordering you do syncs/flushes, and if the drive isn't respecting those, then ordering is out of the window. That means FS corruption and such. Not good.
Delayed gratification AFAIK has solid research as a trait predictive of many things. That a child's ability at 4 or 5 to do it being predictive of their adult self is something else, though.
