"We always convert your money at the live rate: the rate on Google."

But this is a lie - I checked. At time of writing, you claim 100k GBP is equal to 131390 USD, while Google claims it's 131620 USD, a difference of nearly $300!

Even saying "the live rate" is a lie. There is no one "live rate" (and therefore no "the" live rate). The price depends on your liquidity providers. IBKR shows "the live rate". Revolut shows "the live rate". Wise shows "the live rate". Google shows "the live rate". Despite all of them showing "the live rate", all of them have subtly different prices because all of them are part of slightly different markets.

Claiming otherwise is a lie. It'd be more honest to say "we pass on the prices from our partners without markup" or something like that.

You should also make clear which rate you're talking about. The market has a spread, how do you handle it? Do you give clients the mid-price or do you just pass through the bid/ask?

The "Learn more" next to the rate info doesn't actually tell me anything more as well. I'd expect it to show me a page with more detailed information about your liquidity and how you determine the price. The box I already saw at the top of the page isn't "more".
Given that rural areas have more land, on which one could put solar panels and/or small wind turbines and thus have some electricity for free, I wonder if electric pickup trucks would ultimately be cheaper for people to run overall? In which case people who are apparently surgically attached to pickups, might at least be motivated to switch to EV version? ;)
FOSS can’t really work like this because anyone is free to compile it and stick it in a flatpak or on the distro repos. It only really works for something like iOS where there is only one store.
Yes you are?
That's interesting, I never heard of reverse vesting. I thought you'd be liable for capital gains tax (since you're making a "gift to the company/cofounder", you'd have to use the real market value of the gift to compute CGT), but it seems that the tax rules have a special case defined exactly for this circumstance:

(of course, this depends on jurisdiction)
This is how every distro repo works and likely where you would get that binary from.
I know the title is the title on the actual article, but it's the Chinese Red Cross, not China itself. National Red Cross Societies are independent of the country's government. They may receive government funding but they decide what they do with the money themselves.

From https://www.ifrc.org/fundamental-principles

"The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement."
I didn't understand from the start how another Linux Desktop Environment can make a business. We already have at least 4 good ones.
Larger transfers is definitely where we hope to compete, thank you for your interest!
stdio is program input, and a program's user should be informed about bad inputs. that said, usually, where hello world is usually demonstrated is far away from i/o so perhaps the negligence. but to argue that it's behaving correctly here is unnecessary.
That would be the timing aspect of it. You have:

a) a.out writes line 1

b) a.out writes line 2

c) head reads line 1

d) head closes the pipe

We know that b and c both happen after a, and that d happens after c. However, we do not know whether b happens before c, between c and d, or after d. Your a.out process will only get killed by SIGPIPE if it happens after d.

On my system, running a.out under strace is enough to slow it down enough to affect the timing and see the SIGPIPE you were expecting. You may alternatively insert artificial delays in your test program such as by calling the sleep() function between the two lines of output to see the same result.
> You’re probably doing something very wrong or are very green if you don’t know what your managers chief stressors and concerns are, because I have no idea how you’d manage your work properly otherwise.

I basically agree with nearly everything you said. I just wanted to widen the scope a bit on the quoted part. Working in an agency in a client facing role, my main focus is to reduce the stressors for my client and "arm" them with things that make them look good with their managers and leadership.

Else than that I can only agree that when everything is fine - why should I fill 30 - 45 minutes of my managers time (that could be used more efficiently).

Also: If not everything is well I feel it is important to see if this is something your manager can do anything about. Not because you should not tell them if they can't do anything about, but to adjust your expectations and state it as an information/request. Oftentimes I found myself talking to my manager about things that don't work well but they could not do anything about this. But we found ourselves nonetheless creating ideas how to mitigate this in other areas.
China and Chinese Red Cross are different things.
This is one great example on why Linux do desktop is failing hard in my opinion. People spend more time arguing about BS than anything else. Guy wasn't happy with his pay, left to another company and now he's asking even more, from a failing company.

If he just wants to kill what's left he should just say it.
The CPU trend nowadays seem to be combining chiplets and having performance and efficiency cores.
It would be fine if the other side transfer rate is the same. 0.18% difference between exchanges could happen.
Not if you have a paid account. I use it all the time to do international transfers between EUR (Germany) and CHF (Switzerland). And they also give you the interbank exchange rate (except on weekends when the markets are closed, they add a markup to cover their asses).
Well, it wasn't worse morally because we cut our purchase of Russian petroleum yesterday. Who was worse? The British, who will need until the end of 2022 to end their contracts with Russia.

The analogy I like to use is that high-energy particle physics is like trying to learn a game like chess or baseball by analysing the statistics of past games.

That's literally what goes on at CERN. They run effectively trillions of experiments, collect millions of them (after some filter), and then they draw histograms.

Unless you know nothing about mathematics, you know that histograms are inherently statistical beasts. It's meaningless to talk about the histograms of one experiment.

Could you learn to play, say, tennis by drawing histograms of player movements? Ball bounce locations? No? Why not!? It's tons and tons of data! Accurate, scientific data!

Quantum physicists would argue that only statistics exists. I like to point to the fact that one hydrogen atom can exist, and it can have on electron. Or zero electrons. In nice countable, integral quantities. You can place a single gold atom on a crystal lattice with an AFM or even draw cute pictures with them: https://cen.acs.org/analytical-chemistry/imaging/30-years-mo...

Just because some people think only collecting bugs is what biology is all about, doesn't mean that there isn't more to it...

Ask HN: Project maintainers in Ukraine – which projects are in danger?
Ukraine has (had) a vibrant developer community. The war has made many folks switch from the IT side to the military. Do you know of any Open Source projects that are at risk of being abandoned because their lead dev / maintainer has left to fight (with a risk of never returning)?
To be frank, Danielle is delusional. Someone who has worked on a company for ~10 years absolutely should be able to profit from a future sale of the company.

It seems the most fair thing would be to simply issue new stock grants with a vesting schedule. If the company sold tomorrow they'd still (rightfully) split it evenly but over time Cassidy's shares would be diluted.
Yes good point

The audiobook edition read by Simon Prebble is one of the best I've heard.
To be honest this reads like a Putin apologist.

I understand the dangers and that it is wrong to blame all Russians now for Putin's aggression. And yet there is no need to relativize everything. Russia is clearly an aggressor in this. The existence of the Baltic states shows that this could have been solved in a better way – by Ukraine aligned with the west and being able to better protect itself.
It appears the final offer was to keep a 5% stake, not a 50% stake, and then get the remaining 45% bought out for 100k (30k upfront, 70k over 10 years), and the disagreement was over whether that 45% was worth closer to 100k or 26k.

Basically as far as I can tell, as far as it pertains to shares, this conflict boils down purely to differing valuations of current shares (of course I'm sure on a personal level the conflict is much more complex).
I assume that Chinese oligarchs had taken good lessons about the fate of Russian oligarchs properties in the western countries (and specially about their money movements being watched more closely).
How to be less Indecisive about everyday Decisions
Is it possible for any large organisation in China to be truly independent from the CCP? I have my severe doubts.
Looks great. Another example why we don't need blockchain to do fast and cheap international transfers.

And before you tell me that this doesn't cover all currencies and countries: Ok, but it just shows that this is not technology problem (i.e. can be done with existing and better tech than blockchain), but a business model / regulation problem.

I'm not a pro user but PipeWire has been mostly great. I originally switched because of PulseAudio was causing a hissing noise on with my bluetooth headset, and switching fixed it. However, there are still two issues that I'm struggling with and haven't been able to find a definitive answer for.

One is the audio sometimes randomly jitters while simply playing music. It seems this only happens when I use my bluetooth headset, but is fine with built-in audio.

The other is, when the automatic switching to bluetooth headset is hit and miss. Sometimes it switches, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes one applications switch, but others don't. So I'm left to use pavucontrol to switch things over correctly.

My searches haven't returned any fruitful results so I'm not if I'm just searching for the wrong things or I'm the only person who has these issues.
To me they always look like uncanny valley so my brain flags them as fishy. Everything deepfake feels like watching Gemini Man to me.

But then again, I am pretty paranoid as I do think the media and web are not out there to provide me with quality; they want to achieve money and/or power and will try to manipulate me in order to do that so I would assume fake in case of doubt.
Xorshift is one of my favorites.

I always worry about default random numbers in the standard library, because there might still be that awful and badly performing(On embedded without multiply) LCG hiding.
I took one frame, frame 384 to be precise, where the system has locked onto the object and tracks it. The frame is 428 pixels wide and high. The AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR has three selectable fields of view and during the entire video it is set to NAR with zoom 1.0 wich means 0.7°. Dividing this by the frame dimension gives us the angular size of one pixel as 0.0016355°.

The system reports the distance to the object as 4.4 Nm or equivalently 8148.8 m. Here one could argue that the system may report an incorrect distance but for now I will assume that value is correct. Multiplying the tangent of the angular pixel size with this distance to the object gives us the pixel size at this distance as 0.233 m.

Finally we see that the locked objects covers an area 6 pixel wide and 4 pixels high which multiplied with the pixel size at the object distance gives us the camera facing object size as 1.395 m wide and 0.930 m high.

width = tan(0.7° / 428 px) * 4.4 Nm * 6 px
height = tan(0.7° / 428 px) * 4.4 Nm * 4 px

I am not addressing your concerns now because they are not relevant for determining the size of the object. Any objections so far?
Nah, the thing is there is no single way to create a Desktop for Linux, What I want from a Linux Desktop is opposite what GNOME users want, what Red Hat or Canonical want is also different from what volunteers want. Windows and Mac have 1 direction, the big ego dude on top will decide where things go and all the developers will have no choice and implement it.

Other big issue is money, volunteers that work a few hours in some weekends can't have same output as someone paid to work 8 hours a day.

If I had a ton of money I would hire a big team of developers from eastern europe, fork KDE and give them a clear direction(fix all major bugs, fix design issues, make it just work on certain hardware)

Edit: there will never be "One Linux Desktop" we will always have at least 2 or 3 very popular ones, one for power users, one for GNOME/Apple types and one for minimalists
Some more anecdata, I switched to pipewire when I bought my new laptop and it was great. I was struggling to get pulseaudio working properly, switched to pipewire and installed pipewire-pulse[0] from the arch packages, and stuff "just worked".

It's one of the only times in recent memory that moving over to 'the new thing' actually worked without significant pain.

Hi and thanks for your interest! We use the interbank rate from global exchanges. Both being from fintech, we are aware that it is easy to mislead (and to be misled) in money transfer and its a reason why we built this product in the first place.

We have worked hard not to have any middle-men that mark up rates in our liquidity provision, and are quite certain that our rates are fair and extremely competitive.

I do think that the takeaway from your comment is that we could build out a part of our page that allows a customer to dig deeper to validate this themselves. We understand the sentiment as there is still a lot of mistrust given the opaque nature of the market, and we need customers to believe that we are truly 3 GBP to succeed.

Our core thesis in building this product is that we will win with a fixed fee on larger transactions, given the variable fee nature of the current industry incumbents(either transparently disclosed, or embedded in the FX spread).
Correct solution:

printf '#include <stdio.h>\nint main() { return printf("Hello world!\\n") && fflush(stdout); }\n' | cc -xc - && ./a.out > /dev/full && echo "Success\!"

I dabble in video editing and it seems most people work with Adobe Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve. FCP has not been getting the love from Apple that it used to get. Same with Aperture vs Lightroom. I could be wrong though, but many people seem to be using cross-platform software on Macs, much more than a decade or two ago when it really was two different worlds.
Even assuming this is the Chinese government providing the funds, through the Chinese Red Cross, this donation of just $800k seems to me a case of "damned by faint praise".

If it's the Chinese Red Cross independent of government, then it's a relatively generous donation for an ngo branch that is not even in the same region, perhaps thumbing their nose at the lack of Chinese govt. support.
Yeah it seems that CCP is doing this to add a layer of abstraction and have plausible deniability with their Russian allies perhaps
> get rid of hardware they can't really maintain any longer. Russia isn't going to be maintaining those fighter jets now that it knows all of Europe considers it a hostile power

Poland has been quite successfully maintaining their MiGs, and even tried selling their services and hardware to other countries ( IIRC Croatia), and got sued by Russia for reverse engineering.
As I mention here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30612983, at the monetary level, I don't think this is a conflict over a 50% stake, but rather over the valuation of a 45% stake (at the end it would be a 95-5 split).

But in general yes, my impression is there are usually agreements in place to reduce an ex-founder's share of the company over time.
The current president of the Chinese Red Cross is currently vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and previously the Minister of Health.

Very hard to believe this is something that could happen without the CCP’s politburo approval
I've seen a few pair of founders with great success have an agreement that one could at any point for any reason, decide to buy out the other party. Catch is that if you invoke that the other party can switch it around and demand that you accept that pay for your share.

It's crystal clear what and how, and you're not going to try and low ball it because you can be forced to sell for that yourself. I don't think it's perfect, but it is simple, self correcting and crystal clear.
> Are you looking for something like Authy or Google Authenticator here?

Precisely! Both are implementations of TOTP[0] - it's a simple protocol which doesn't rely on any particular implementation.

The other common one with that same characteristic would be Fido U2F[1] (for hardware keys such as Yubikey and Google Titan). If/when you do implement it, make sure to support adding more than one token to facilitate users sorting out their own backups.

Both are open standards that are well-supported with both proprietary and open implementations across platforms.

If you have to initially only pick one of the two I'd go with TOTP.

"Trading" is a pretty big use case.

While I generally agree with the principle that there is a conflict between things people say they want in terms of anonymity etc and what they do want (security for chargebacks, credit etc etc), there are still increasing trade use cases, especially around sex, that are heavily discriminated against.
> Well, assuming you can actually buy any of these, anyway. The M1 Ultra might win "by default" by simply being purchasable at all unlike pretty much every other GPU :/

Can we stop it with the meme that these GPUs are unobtainable? Yes, they are still overpriced compared to their supposed original prices and they'll likely never return to that price given that the base prices of manufacturing, materials and such have increased for multiple reasons.

But stock has been generally available for many months now and it's possible to get them as long as you can afford them.

That seems like too much of a generalisation. The issues you describe are real and that is not diminished by the fact that some people operate differently from what you imagine makes sense.
