And the whole quote in context:

Peter Wennink

Well, I'm with the company 23 years, and I've always tried to read the minds of the investors, and I always got it wrong. So don't ask me that question. So, no, it's a place that can only read the minds, not only read the minds, but talk with our customers and see where we are today.

And the issue is, and I tried to mention this before is that, the demand that we're currently seeing comes from so many places in the industry. Technology-wise, market-wise, geography-wise, it's so widespread that we have significantly underestimated, let's say, the width of the demand. And I think that I don't think is going to go away.

And it just -- it's an anecdote, but I met a very large -- the executive of very large industrial company, a conglomerate, last week. And actually, they told me that they're buying washing machines to rip out the semiconductors to put them in industrial modules. I mean, that's happening these days.

Now, you could say, that’s an anecdote. But, to be honest, it happens everywhere. It is -- like I said, it is 15, 20, 25-year old semiconductor technology that is now being used everywhere. It's got -- it's all driven by IoT type applications.
I’m not sure but I’m using Outlook on iOS and it’s been better than the regular mail app in my opinion. No idea about security and privacy though, after all I’m introducing another developer into my mails which can’t be too good I guess.
Because corruption as an issue is overrated or wrongly defined. South Korea and Japan are mentioned in the article as exemplary countries when it comes to internet speed and infrastructure but both have virtually no dividing line between private conglomerates (Chaebol and Keiretsu respectively) and public administration. The same is true in Germany, but with few exceptions that kind of intersection doesn't matter because governance is by and large effective, which beats clean.

In fact this kind of conglomeration between the public and private sector is why they get things done, compared to the vetocratic nature of other countries.
I imagine these limitations are going to be a moving target as they grow.

A lot of developer driven organizations are very happy to outsource complex parts of development to managed services so they can focus on their core differentiators, especially when it comes to parts of the stack that need super high availability and security. This is why Auth0/Okta are big businesses and not everyone rolls their own key cloak / shibboleth instances, as one of many examples.

This clearly seems like the Apex/Drivewealth model but for challenger banks or new online banking operations. It is hard to predict what startups or new projects will need this because those platforms can unlock innovation for new categories (e.g. no one imagined commission free trading in 2008, and Robinhood wouldn't exist without Apex).
Foremost this is very cool and hope you guys the best.

Reading through the "High-Risk, High-Reward Research" page I do find myself wondering the moral aspects that this brings up. Golden Ticket holders being able to get funding for what ever they want even when other reviewers disagree is great, but what kind of governance takes place over legal grey areas or things that are ahead of current legislation and falls into an ethical dilemma?
Thanks, pal?
Well, I prefer not to speculate, but let's assume for a moment that the intelligence community knows some things before the general population does.

I don't think it would be unreasonable to speculate that they knew then what a portion of the general population knows now, namely that a vast disinformation network was disseminating information on behalf of Steve Bannon. This has been analyzed and reported on by social media analysis firm Graphika.

So combine an outlandish story of an abandoned laptop making its way to Rudy Giuliani with the outlandish and serially repeated claims of child pornography and push it out with a known disinformation network, and it has all the hallmarks of a disinformation campaign.

But that's just what I see that leads me to conclude that it's reasonable. Don't expect me to actually explain the intelligence community's behavior.

I suppose I'll also speak to the fact that someone from among the intelligence community vs. Trump's ilk deserves more of the benefit of the doubt. Given Trump and his ilk's long and trivially verifiable history of being brazen liars, I find it exceedingly easy to give the benefit of the doubt to the intelligence community.
Converters are an issue when the whole point is small size.

I wish they'd develop a full USB-C alternate mode for pro audio.

One C cable could do dozens of channels, or one of legacy analog, and provide clean regulated power for wireless gear, and the connectors pack very densely.

You could even make it daisy chainable, plus speakers could be powered over PD at small shows, and so could lights.
Mike Wallace was sui generis and very much hard journalism . There's a actually good documentary on him called "Mike Walllace is Here."

Which is an absolute drop in the hat when you compare it to people selling computer generated monkeys and those arbitraging crypto.

Look, maybe the art renaissance is coming soon™ but it sure as hell is not here now, especially relative to the financial one.
They'll find a way, of that you can be sure. I think restricting the term is the only way possible to limit corruption in that regard.

There is also sshpass, which allows non-interactive ssh password auth.

You can provide the password on the command line, or in an environment variable:

sshpass -p 'PASSWORD' ssh user@host /bin/id
SSHPASS=PASSWORD sshpass -e ssh user@host /bin/id

Not ideal, but if you're working with inflexible third parties who don't understand public keys, sometimes it's acceptable.

Storing secrets in environment variables is a common practice in many mostly-reasonable orgs.
Of course there's a lot of HN bitterness here. But I like Fig. I've been running my own heavily customised .zshrc for about a decade with loads of bells and whistles in terms of autocomplete and customised prompts and what not and it has been great and I've kept it current with cool new toys.

But I've dumped most of it in the last month for Fig. I like seeing command specific options, relevant to the current context, and in a long list which I can scan and scroll quickly.

I go to documentation MUCH less now and I'm faster with it. And that's most of what I care about.

Commence retaliations...
The short answer is Net Present Value or Discounted Cash Flow. Future money is worth less than present money for inflation and other reasons. So you discount any future moneys by some amount per year--doesn't need to be a fixed amount--and eventually you reach a point where that dollar you're receiving in 50 years is worth... not much.

Very theoretically stocks are valued in the same way based on future dividend payments. But that's not really how analysts price companies.

Tesla posts record profit in Q1 2022 – aims a 50% growth this year
I think many starts ups are "rich people" self funding (or are parental funded). For instance Microsoft and Bill Gate's and Paul Allen's helped them out a lot. Ditto with Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk's Tesla & Space X, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. You'll notice everyone aforementioned attended an Ivy League university.
> isolated them to areas outside their cities for safety

I'd imagine massive balloons are no more safe over the city than current aircrafts.
I'm excited about this because it may help with a problem I've had for many years: in a word, being my family's CFO.

I'm a data scientist, and I'd like to be able to report as easily on my own personal finances as I can on the data of the company I work for. This is not a small thing for me. I want to take care of my family's finances, but I'm impatient with bullshit. I don't want to spend an hour every weekend logging into 10 different services, clicking on 10 different things in each company's always-different, always-shitty web UI to pull all the data I need. The easier and more convenient this is to do, the better job I will do managing my money and protecting my family.

As a data scientist, I can handle writing a little code to make some API calls and crunch the numbers that come back. If APIs were available to me for all companies I have assets or liabilities with, I'd have no trouble being an awesome family CFO. But... there is nobody that wants to make this secure and easy for me!! I would have to go to a company like Personal Capital, give them ALL MY ACTUAL BANK LOGIN CREDENTIALS, and they'll go login and do some screen-scraping to get the data. Half the time that won't work because of 2FA complications. They'll bring that data into their little ecosystem, serve it through some shitty web interface, and use it to serve me whatever ad nonsense they want. It's immensely unpleasant, slow, unreliable, and insecure. It sucks ass.

Is your company going to fix this, or perhaps be one part of the solution? One day, will I be able to run my own R and Python scripts that pull all my data, balance my checkbook against receipt screenshots, automatic fraud detection, show me how all my investments are doing? Maybe even open-source it so that others can do the same?

Thank you so much, in advance, for reading and any reply you can make! I'm very excited for this!
> I applaud anyone who gives it a shot, it isn't easy.

You make it sound like a hobby project and not a $1200 instrument nominally targeted at professionals.

The reality is that nothing I do on the OP-1 is very complicated. It should be a lot more reliable than it is.
Shark Gobbles Up Camera, Captures What It Looks Like to Get Eaten
There's a serious omission in this organizations list of concerns, namely the increasing control of academic research by corporate interests and the resulting attack on traditional academic norms of open sharing of research results. See the 2005 text by J. Washburn, "University Inc: The corporate corruption of higher education" (intro):

http://kropfpolisci.com/higher.education.washburn.pdf

> "The problem is not university-industry relationships per se; it is the elimination of any clear boundary lines separating academia from commerce. Today, market forces are dictating what is happening in the world of higher education as never before, causing universities to engage in commercial activities unheard of in academia a mere generation ago. Universities now routinely operate complex patenting and licensing operations to market their faculty's inventions (extracting royalty income and other fees in return). They invest their endowment money in risky start-up firms founded by their professors. They run their own industrial parks, venture-capital funds, and for- profit companies, and they publish newsletters encouraging faculty members to commercialize their research by going into business. Often, when a professor becomes the CEO of a new start- up, there is considerable overlap between the research taking place on campus and at the firm, a situation ripe for confusion and conflicts of interest. The question of who owns academic research has grown increasingly contentious, as the openness and sharing that once characterized university life has given way to a new proprietary culture more akin to the business world."

These problems have only gotten worse in the past 15 years; a nice example is the remdesivir story (a Covid-19 treatment whose discovery was financed by taxpayers yet which ended up under the exclusive control of Gilead Inc.)

It's because they do even their corruption by the book, so it seems legit.
This is the first time I've heard of Fig, just downloaded it and it's a hell lot slicker than zsh-autocomplete. It would be great to make the telemetry opt-out more noticeable, preferably on setup, I would not have noticed it unless I saw the comment with the command to run. (Although I now see it's buried in the settings too)
Maneuver Props Engaged.
I think a huge difference between github and sourceforge is that user base and the fact that github ends up being used by a lot of private companies wanting to host their private repositories (and being willing to pay money to do so).

To my knowledge (I was very young during the period when sourceforge was still good) sourceforge never really attracted private customers by offering value adds to CVS/SVN so it didn't have a reliable non-donation revenue model. Github has accumulated a cash cow in the form of a lot of companies using it for issue tracking and as a nice UI into their repository state - this doesn't make them secure for ever, they do have some very real competition and the fact that they are maintaining an ecosystem means they have a lot of costs beyond just hosting but I think they're in a place where, if they started to inject obnoxious ads, they believe their revenue would suffer even in the short term.
When I was beginning to study path tracing I've learned to avoid this domain, the presentation always seems so friendly but the actual material is unfortunately much too barebones
us outsiders can't know for sure!

for example i didn't knew a comment critiquing a YC-company could be pinned down

but now i know and this doesn't make neither HN nor Fig better in my eyes
> If you remove the ads and the surveillance, Twitter is 60 lines of Perl.

If you remove ads and surveillance Twitter isn't 60 lines of Perl. Just their frontend, without even getting into problems of scale, is already much heavier than sixty lines. It also happens to have been an influential technology export [1].

You can find more than sixty projects, not just sixty lines of Perl, open sourced by Twitter. While some of them are related to ad tracking and surveillance not all of them are [2]. Although I haven't checked, I would be shocked if any of them are below sixty lines.

The idea that modern tech companies can be replaced with sixty lines of code is exceedingly naive. There are certain problems that naturally come up at scale like the regular failure of hardware, hot users, persistent dedicated attacks by intelligent malicious actors, and regulatory requirements around data handling which, even taken alone rather than together, demand more than sixty lines of code to adequately address.

Twitter may be simple in theory, but you are quite clearly provoking a straw man conception of the value of Twitter's technology. If you weren't, you wouldn't need to lie or exaggerate to the point of absurdity.

[2]: https://opensource.twitter.dev/projects/

> What, pray tell, other than ad tracking is their technology?

The person you are responding to is largely repeating first-party accounts of motivation - Elon says he believes that producing greater transparency in algorithmic moderation and active moderation at Twitter, understood as a technology owned by Twitter, is a core ideologically rooted reason for the takeover. You can get this first party account of motivation by listening to the TED interview with Elon Musk which covers the topic of why he feels Twitter should be taken private and why he feels it would benefit from having its moderation practices be incredibly transparent to the point of open sourcing the entirety of Twitter and making their moderation process public.
> Unfair to compare against that.

They're a consumer business, they get to be compared against other similar businesses. A product's quality rating shouldn't depend on the size of the company.
Germans are really good at Public Relations (PR) but people don’t think they are, which helps them be good at PR.
Another one of the many modern problems in the dysfunctional UK that can be traced back to Thatcher.
I don't have any need for one of these. But this review makes me want one, it looks like a lot of fun. Anybody here have one yet? How does your experience compare?
> You're misconstruing "that's popular and people watch it" for "I agree with what the person is saying".

Not at all. I just cited some statistics. Making a value judgement is actually what you did:

> For example, as vile, absolutely stupid, and wrong as Tucker Carlson is, the market is clearly speaking and he's quite popular.

The first definition of popular is “regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general”

The key word being the last one in this case “general.” Based on the statistics I cited cable news is a niche to begin with. And based on his viewership, Anderson Cooper is a niche within a niche. Not “generally” popular.

For the record I don’t watch any of these shows so I don’t have a horse in this race. Not sure why you feel you need to defend Anderson Cooper’s (non) popularity so hard? It’s certainly not a very popular show as you originally stated. But you’ve since lowered the bar that anything on mainstream cable is “popular.”
Correct me if I'm wrong, I have not seen WaPo pushing Amazon propaganda in their content.

I'd like to take this occasion to remind you that my first comment was a rebuttal to someone's argument speculating about the motive or rationale behind this acquisition and posited that Musk's control of the platform would afford him political influence to further his own financial interests, hence my opening reply.

CDU/CSU politicians are at least caught more often than SPD-related politicians. But Schröder and also Scholz certainly also have some skeletons in the closet (and don't get me started on the FDP or AfD...).

correct. a credit score is mostly about one's demonstrated ability to service debt.

Just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you'll make payments on a loan.
Two insights more

a) But for probability you nees the measure of the whole space to be 1, which forces points “far away” to have very small “weight”. Thus, there is no uniform distribution in the whole R.

b) and then your mind blows up when you realize that discrete probability is the very same thing, and that an integral in a finite set is just summation.
This seems to be the US equivalent to Solarisbank, which operates only in some EU countries. I don't know any specifics, but I have encountered Solaris a few times. For example they are used by TradeRepublic, basically the German Robinhood equivalent, and a handful of Neobank providers. Those Neobanks usually focus onto a specific niche and build their product based on the services offered by Solaris.

I would imagine that Column could provide similar their services to similar companies and make the development of financial products significantly faster.
Is there a tool the make these UI's with or is it all just custom after effects and labour?
It's a complicated question, but the answer is "not much". Most cities don't have a smog issue, and for those that do, it isn't always smoggy, and when it is, vehicle emissions are less than 1/2 the problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_in_Delhi says, "India's Ministry of Earth Sciences published a research paper in October 2018 attributing almost 41% to vehicular emissions, 21.5% to dust and 18% to industries" and "37 percent of sunlight".

https://energyandcleanair.org/why-does-the-smog-strike-beiji... says "The two largest sources of air pollution in the Beijing region are steel industry and the heating of buildings" noting that the city has 'air pollution episodes' even with restrictions keeping cars off the road.

BTW, vehicle brake pads are another source of particulate emission. "Brake pad emissions make up a fifth of PM2.5 air pollution at roadsides" in London - https://airqualitynews.com/2020/01/09/air-pollution-from-bra... .
It's a huge proportion of the graph, it would be like an economic Manhattan project, but 10x bigger. But if things continue on the current trajectory with China's rapid military build-up, base-building around the SCS, threatening Taiwan and the other Asian nations, it may become necessary.
The problem with pissing on Thatcher's grave is eventually you run out of piss.
As I type this my other monitor is displaying pirated content in glorious 4K resolution downloaded via sites that have been in blatant contravention of the existing laws for 19 years. Simultaneously I pay for a subscription entitles me to watch the same content in the same resolution on a TV I don't own and don't have room to install if I wanted one.

My other choices include watching it in glorious 720p that somehow manages to look worse than SD from 1995 or paying $150 to buy optical disks of a series I'd like to watch once to see it in 1080p and buy an optical disk drive for the privilege.

While not everyone's quality is quite as bad as Amazon they all work worse on computers than TVs and in addition to dealing with mediocre hardware and limiting platforms one is now expected to deal subscribe to 7 platforms to have access to most content.

Meanwhile jellyfin is basically netflix for content on your own hard drive or network which is trivial to acquire from sites that have been distributing torrent and magnet links for 19 years. If its worthwhile to pirate even while actually paying for the same content and such pirated content is readily available from lawbreakers you can't shut down despite obviously breaking existing laws maybe making random websites implement expensive screening isn't a useful thing.

Now bob's forum has to buy tens of thousands of dollars of tech to keep people from theoretically sharing links to <insert series> while every Tom Dick and Harry are torrenting from the usual suspects.

To end most piracy make it like radio where services pay for a standard license for content and every streaming service has every piece of content while competing on interface. Then I can subscribe to a service that works well on Firefox on Linux and you can use a service that only works on your shitty ad laden tv if you please.
Yup. You can sign up today for sandbox access, and then contact us once you are ready to go live and move real money.

Truth is, we probably aren't great as a personal checking account, and thats not really the intended use case. But you are welcome to try us out and see what you can build!
The PO series are a different beast entirely. You can’t compare their $80 toy synths made of PC board to their high end stuff.

Yeah. Very funny. So, is AWS Eventbridge any good for event sourcing? ;)
Well, as long as your (interest minus interest tax credit) rate is below inflation, youre better off putting that money in a 0% interest savings account than paying down the debt faster. Or consider 7% from a Series I bond, or investing it in something else.
