The NYT has an agenda to under-report the number of COVID infections?
It's easy: they don't. Certificate pinning in IoT devices is pretty unlikely.

If you're lucky, some engineers added signature validation for firmware updates, but then your device is a brick because you can't do anything new with it.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll add the supported engines to the package.json

About ES modules, I decided to start with esm because it looks like everything is moving in that direction. That being said I will support both cjs and esm soon.
Great read! Thanks

Working and building awesome things.
First off, it's important to understand that Kanban relies on a backlog built of stories that are all of similar size and complexity. Yes, that means you need to estimate. But those estimates come in the form of "is this roughly as complex as other work the team has done?" So it's a lot less onerous to assess.

Then you can measure throughput (number of stories per unit of time) and cycle time (amount of time a story takes from start to finish).

Using those measures you can forecast, with monte carlo simulation as a common method. Here's a book on the topic:

There's plenty of other resources about this if you bust out your google-fu.
Blaming corporations is a cute meme, but it's not the problem. Corporations in this market are NOT monopolistic price-setters, they do not have remarkable market-concentration, and they are not colluding with each other to limit supply. They are competitive price-takers.

If you want to fix housing prices (or if you just want to screw over these corporations for funsies, which is fine) then you want to increase the supply of homes: that is, you want homebuilders to build, build, build, build, build, build, build — and where necessary, you want to drive the political reforms that make this possible. All the evilcorps™ are betting that you won't — and I'd bet that too, given where you're focusing your attention and efforts.
What I'm trying to say (poorly) is this: every hour the artist has to spend on doing marketing (probably not well) is an hour they're NOT spending on their art. Me, I'd prefer to see them arting.

> To resolve this, we ended up choosing to leave foreign key constraints unenforced on a few large tables.

> We reasoned this was likely safe, as Retool’s product logic performs its own consistency checks, and also doesn’t delete from the referenced tables, meaning it was unlikely we’d be left with a dangling reference.

I was holding my breath here and I'm glad these were eventually turned back on.

Nobody should ever rely on their own product logic to ensure consistency of the database.

The database has features (constraints, transactions, etc) for this purpose which are guaranteed to work correctly and atomically in all situations such as database initiated rollbacks that your application will never have control over.

Those GPL files are part of a vendored dependency (TCC) [1] which has been licensed under LGPL. IANAL but GPL does state that you can relicense under any other later version of the license, and LGPL states that it counts as GPL 2.1.

Either way, it is hard to blame the author of Cheat Engine for this. If there is any violation it comes from a vendored dependency. Again, IANAL, but if someone presents you code and claims it is licensed under X, but then you find out they don't have the rights to license that code under X, it is hard to find you at fault.

Edit: The GPL file in question is authored by the same author of libtcc (Fabrice Bellard) who has released libtcc in its entirety under LGPL. No violation has occurred anywhere in the stack, the header is simply incorrect.

I also should have been clearer, there are other options. The Brits like this idea of HESH. This works against both tank armor (though less than APFSDS rounds) and fortifications alike. This way the tanks can carry just one type of armor instead o f having to manage a mix. HESH has persisted because the Brits like rifled barrels, and doing a sabot round with a rifled barrel has proven quite difficult.

Editorialized title. The submitted article at best claims ‘there are scams to be found within Web 2.0’. Contemporary claims about Web3 are much stronger than that.
I'm confused by this comment:

Although Stallman argues otherwise, the nature of the GPL is really incompatible with how business is done in the real world.

Red Hat deals heavily in GPL'd code that it writes and maintains. It is a major contributor to many, many GPL'd open source projects. Even where it cannot get patches accepted upstream, they maintain many year, massive patch sets to satisfy needs of corporate clients. How do you explain their success? The same is true, to a lesser extent, for SuSE, which has a major economic footprint in corporate Germany (and Austria and Switzerland).

And how about The Qt Company or MySQL / MariaDB?
GitHub Incident with Codespaces, Actions
True overall, (although don't discount the effect of a pair of binoculars in the cockpit) but in this case we're talking about intercepting a radar target for visual confirmation. If you have a radar track, by definition you would have the type of guidance you need to put other sensors on target.
What if the NFT is for a physical object? (and one that may or may not exist any longer?)

I mean, clearly hashing wouldn't seem to apply there. But it still leaves the question of whether there's a substantial difference between a traditional database entry. I may be overlooking something because I don't see the problem solved by NFTs. I see the use for them as part of an artistic statement, but not a general use function.
The time it takes to apply for these seed programs is days not months. Many (including a16z START & 500startups) don't limit applications to "a few times a year" nor "accept you only at certain times of the year".

And the 'etc' of your claim "[t]here is really only YC, 500 Startups etc" hides a ton of options, including this a16z START program, programs from other VCs, TechStars, & a world of other seed-level options from other individual, syndicate (AngelList), or regionally-motivated investors. And, plenty have always-open rolling, or diverse staggered, investment windows.

So you never have to "throw away 3-6 months" or "wait 3-6 months" if you're making demonstrable progress on a good concept.

(Sure, once you've got a big burn rate, fundraising is likely to be a year-round time-suck with many-month closing cycles. But that's not the "even if you don’t yet have a fully formed idea and haven’t yet quit your day job" point this early-seed "market" targets.)
This isn't true at all.

If any foreign buying stat looked single digit it was only because the metric was so broad so as to include areas where there was zero foreign buying interest.

The week the BC Liberals brought in the foreign buyer tax they had data in hand that showed foreign buying in Richmond and Burnaby was (going from memory here) between 15-20% of sales that period. Worth noting that at the time those areas were building lots of new builds so possible that the trend the government was concerned about was new build condo purchases being dominated by foreign capital. That's my speculation only. CoV proper I think was around 11%.

Globe and Mail articles on this issue from around 2016 call out some of the data and there are some startling numbers that make it clear why the government acted. Perhaps its available on some government website too I dunno.

The issue is that the flat percentage incentive is not a valid one, there was a chapter in Freakonomics about that (I seem to remember it was about Chicago estates, but it could have been another city in the US).

The study determined that when a house was the property of the estate agent sold in a little more time at a noticeably higher price.

The idea if that your house sells (today) for (say) 100,000 units of value (pounds/dollars/whatever) the estate agent will get (still say) 5% of it, i.e. 5,000 "units" (also today).

If in a few more months time you can sell it for 120,000, the agent will get (a few months later) 1,000 "units" more, but he/she will have spent a lot more time visiting the property with prospective buyers, runnning ads on newspapers, whatever, so the incentive for the agent is to conclude the sale as soon as possible, even if at a (reasonably) lower price.

The proposal to correct the incentves was to have a flat percentage (like the mentioned 5%) until a certain amount and a much higher percentage (like - if I recall correctly 15% or maybe 20%) on the excess.

Of course it depends on the local current market, but estate agents have interest to push house price higher only until the property is an "easy sale", the sheer moment the house stays on the market for some time (this highly depends on the local market, it could be weeks or months) they will start saying something "Hmmm, maybe we valued a little too much, we (that means you) should discount it by 10%", this in the same 100,000 unit house means that you will get 10,000 unit less, while the agent would get 4,500 units instead of 5,000.
Less than 10% of Russians live in Moscow, which is by far Russia's most liberal and Westernized city. The uncomfortable fact which progressives around the world seem to be having trouble with is that on average, most Russians absolutely do support the war and do see my family's home-country, Ukraine, as being a rightful part of Russia.

> What's the point of this comment?

The west is so quick to condemn Russia, where the west has been warring all over the place with less good reasons to invaded that Russia. Keep in mind that: there are many Russians is Ukra, Russians were marginalized in Ukra especially since 2014, Russia is next to Ukra (unlike the middle east to say the US) so they have reasons to protect their safety, Ukra got Crimea during USSR times from Russia, and Putin made clear demands of what is needed for the war to be over (not part of any block, accept Crimea is Russia, Donbas gains autonomy).

This is a much more understandable invasion to me than Iraq 1+2, Libya, Syria, Afganistan and Vietnam.

> It's hard to tell from context whether you're claiming that the Ukrainian government is engaging in neo-Nazi education (this would be extraordinary) or whether some neo-Nazis in Ukraine are doing so (this would be upsetting, but not particularly surprising for Eastern Europe in general).

The second. But no crackdown from the central gov't (while it breaks international law) and you see links with the openly nazi Azov battalion everywhere in the training camp.
I didn't grow up Catholic. I converted as an adult from a fundamentalist Evangelical background, and one of the criticisms well-intentioned friends had for me at the time was that "the Catholics believe in evolution."

And that's very much the case. Formal Church documents confirm the belief, and the very large majority of Catholics believe it. There isn't anything contradictory in believing evolution may have been the means by which God created people.

Whether that was the case when or where anyone else was growing up, I can't attest. I'm only speaking to the commonality of the belief in the present.
>Compromising on freedom doesn't result in a loss of freedom

This is an immediate and direct contradiction.
Germany paid reparations for many years, so no, it's an actual pathway that can be implemented by a framework similar to Nuremberg.
The closest analog I could come up with something like a baseball card with an authenticated signature of the player. Yes you could copy the baseball card, and even the signature, but I have the original, and it's been authenticated by by a third party expert.

In this case, the card is an image file and the third party is math (the smart contract that issued the token).

Sentimental value is based on sentiment, so you probably shouldn't try to apply objective logic to something that is subjective to every person and expect useful results.
I've had a waterproof phone since the Galaxy S5. That was released in 2014. I'd hardly call 8 years ago "recently."
There's a difference not noted: credit cards give you credit, which is why you have to apply for them. When you use one, you aren't transferring your money to someone else, you're transferring a third party's money, with a promise to pay them back later. Each transaction is a tiny loan. In the bitcoin scenario described, it is more like a cash transaction, you have to have the bc in your wallet. And, of course, bc is way more complicated than a cash transaction.
Web3 can be defined in many different ways, but the majority of cryptocurrency/NFT cycles are spent on scheming how to make a quick buck.

That scene is currently vibrant. A lot of people are revisiting that early era, 1977(8?) through to the 90's.

8 bit systems, and I mean consoles, computers, industrial automation, enjoyed relevance through what is seen today as a long, diverse era of computing and gaming. The Apple 2, 1Mhz 6502 systems, was sold in various forms from 1977 through to 1994, I believe. That is crazy!

Sidebar: I snagged a 1990's machine and if you want to explore this early era of computing, an Apple Platinum is the most recent system and is very reliable. Recommended.

End Sidebar

Today, there is an active hardware scene with people making new old computers and sometimes extending their capabilities a bit. Jim Bagley and Spectrum Next wishbone example.

The MISTer FPGA system is basically a hardware emulation of a ton of retro hardware. These are hard to distinguish from the real deal, and connect to newer and old displays for a great visual experience.

Hardware cards are being made for the Apples. I have several in mine. Great experiences.

Games are being developed, and Nox Archaist is an Ultima style RPG worth a look. The C64 is seeing a lot of releases, AtariAge is where you can go for news on that.

RetroRGB has news on a lot of consoles, MISTer and others.

Sorry, no links I am on mobile and just killing a few minutes here. But, a quick google on the names will get you somewhere fun in no time.

Retro is pretty big right now. There is a lot going on.
Absolutely, where is this narrative about the bubble not bursting, and cheap money this, and market irrationality that coming from? It totally did burst. Growth stock got killed early this year across the board. The market has punished Covid hype investments (e.g. Peloton, Zoom) very hard as well.
You are right about performance, but does it really matter?

Well, algebra: with the geometric product one can solve geometric equations in a nice, unified way.

>the issue is our most innovative solution for home ownership is credit hand outs

I'm fairly certain we have more innovative solutions, but the risks just aren't lucrative for the far majority of investors. It's a lack of (relatively frictionless) experimentation more than anything.

You’re assuming switching costs are the same, available labor is universal and endless, business dealings are the same, etc. It seems the most successful “competitors” are never head on for anyone entrenched, but rather come at similar problems from a different angel.

Even companies who are up and running often want capital to take things to the next stage. None of that means burst of a bubble.
You don’t see the difference between: 1) allowing anyone on the Internet to use an ssh shell on an internal server that’s protected by authentication and firewalls, vs 2) someone you know, who has already been granted physical access to your location, and likely already has a security clearance as well as undergone interviews, training, and other security checks?

Then the drone swarm meets this and one or the other survives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb5_F4_Eod8 (As an aside, it always fascinates me that arms manufacturers not only create ads and brochures but that they're often done rather well.)

A lot of the breathless enthusiasm for drones seems premature. SAMs didn't make aircraft obsolete, air to ground missiles from aircraft and helicopters didn't make tanks and other vehicles obsolete, and there's doesn't seem to be any reason to believe that adjustments won't be made by the various militaries to provide protection against drones.
As a counter example, the US has continued to use the BVR AIM-120 even after accidentally shooting down one of their own helicopters in an IFF failure. [1]

I review software for at least 3-5 companies per week as part of FDA submission packages. The FDA requirements require traceability between reqs and the validation. While many small companies just use excel spreadsheets for traceability, the majority of large companies seem to use JIRA tickets alongside confluence. While those arent the only methods, they seem to be 90% of the packages I review.

Is it possible your own perspective is biasing your thoughts here? You're comparing two completely different things and expecting consistency..

> The platform portrayed itself as a haven for independent writers with fewer resources while offering six-figure advances to several prominent white men.

Is just describing how it was formed and indeed the list of 'recruits' was largely male and white (Greenwald, Yglesias, Singal, Deboer, Sullivan, etc). This is perhaps an unfair framing because there were indeed Women and PoC in their list of Substack Pros as well, but they had smaller audiences and their advances were substantially smaller.

> "The most successful is the history professor Heather Cox Richardson, who has more than a million paid and unpaid subscribers. Other notable writers include the knighted novelist Salman Rushdie, the punk poet laureate Patti Smith and the Eisner-winning comic book writer James Tynion IV."

Is describing who's popular on it today.

Those two paragraphs don't have to be consistent for the story to be accurate..
Maybe Ukraine felt like "trying to get lucky" and... lo and behold, they got lucky?

Not everything is necessarily down to intelligence. If Ukraine saw a chance to fire upon the ship, maybe they were like "Lets test out their missile-defense systems and see if they're as good as they claim..."

------

If you have an intelligence-advantage against the opponent, you can fish for lucky chances more often, knowing that the opponent doesn't really have a good counter-response.

I don't get why they needed to put this in unless they they are trying to say the platform is racist and sexist. Maybe the NYT is afraid of competition?

Toronto and Vancouver (and surrounding cities) do build quite a lot in comparison to other places, but given how much immigration the Feds are allowing they have to be building even more.

The fact that there is so much development and change going on, and that it's still not enough to lower rental vacancy rates (or prices) is something that I think contributes to people feeling like maybe adding supply doesn't help and there's other problems.
The fact that half of those 30M people have 80% of their wealth tied in keeping housing unaffordable.
