Are you getting royalties for use of the Listerine brandname or something in the formula?

If they changed the formula to something totally new but kept the Listerine branding are you getting paid? If they kept the formula but gave it a new name would you get paid? Just a new spelling?

Also how much has this royalty been subdivided?

The numbers and concept seem interesting but the site seems to lack a lot of details.
I gave up last week. Vlc and celluloid were crashing under gnome. They worked under swaywm but couldn't find a way to install a redshift wayland clone that worked. There are a whole lot of things that still simply 'don't work' especially if you venture outside of gnome and kde.
The key is to reduce the number of developers touching a specific section of code, and line up all tickets and hand them over to a single developer (or two).

And yeah, management won't do it. Fred Brooks wrote an entire book about this in 1975 that no one reads today and everyone would certainly ignore if they did read it. Because it tells you the unvarnished truth about the nature of communication and information flow within an organization. Such is the state of things in our industry. Sweet little lies.
No, Musk has an agreement with tesla that he can only borrow against a quarter of his shares. He's already borrowed against quite a few too. Musk could go to the board to get that number bumped up, but until then he can't just borrow the full $21 billion against his shares.
I don’t live in the US and when I saw this article I told my wife that CNN tried streaming and asked her to guess what they called it, she got it right first guess.

I find the choice of the + suffix on almost all streaming services both highly bizarre and mildly amusing.
We don’t know the interest rate of that margin loan but you can be goddamn certain whoever underwrote the loan calculated that risk more precisely than HN crowd such that the rate justifies the default risk.
NN-512 was monetized by making its author a Senior Architect at the most important company in the machine learning space, a company whose hardware and software you almost certainly use. NN-512 was an EXTREMELY profitable project for its author.

Most competent engineers will be able to dump their network weights to a file as described in the headers. Do you understand your network or not? The weights, etc., are literally a C struct in the header file. Use fread() to load the floats. If that's too complicated, NN-512 is not for you.

As clearly stated on its brief webpage (which you might care to read before commenting) NN-512 does every kind of fusion you can imagine, fusing convolutions, fusing elementwise operations, fusing batch normalization, etc. See https://nn-512.com/example/28 for an example.

If you're using a classical ConvNet (e.g., a DenseNet-121), as many people are, and you want to do inference on AVX-512 CPUs, nothing will outperform NN-512. And your inference code will be completely stand-alone. No dependencies.
What does he think that optical illusions are, other than adversarial examples? "Dark patterns" are maybe another example.

Of course humans can be "hacked". It doesn't even take AI.
Also a dev on Mito. Would love to hear if anyone has strong opinions on best practices for UI documentation! Thanks a ton :-)
If they ever do, Valve need to send Tim Cook a really nicely worded email, Steam Deck with an Mx chip in it would be excellent.
Thanks! Didn’t know that. That’s an interesting design choice.
Yeah that's the story telling but not the reality, most of the sales were to cover taxes due on option exercise (had to do it in 2021 to avoid a tax regime change that was starting in 2022).

Credit card networks offer a similar thing. They call it payment network tokens. Basically, the network gives the merchant/processor/store/etc a Uuid string that's an identifier for your credit card. Then the merchant sends that UUID string (the token) to the network and the network sends the real credit card details to the issuer for authorization.

So instead of giving merchants real financial info, they just get a pass to charge your credit card without the details of it.
Currently, lots of developers use GitHub (which naturally requires a login) to sync their dotfiles across devices.

We are building our own version of this, that is more tailored to the use case than a generic git repo interface. :)
> Developers have been using a tried and tested way to keep configurations for decades -- dotfiles

Which kinda sucks
> There are arguably too many people being trained as graduate students and post-docs compared to the number of academic positions available.

Is there anything actually being done to solve this problem? Note that I'd include stable research positions in government and industry in addition to stable academic positions.

Don't get me wrong. It's nice to see more people talking about this problem, but talking about it alone won't solve it.
It is the normalization of bad journalism. It is not more acceptable because it is normal.
This is the configuration I use:

veto files = /._*/.DS_Store/.Trashes/.TemporaryItems/
delete veto files = yes

The second line allows vetoed files to be deleted. Otherwise, already existing vetoed files would be stuck on the drive.

(Note that "._*" prevents HFS+/APFS extended attributes from being stored on the SMB drive.)
Why would China be a weaker strategic threat than Russia? They have 10 times the population and a massive industrial and technological base. Fewer nuclear weapons but more than enough to trigger the apocalypse. Much stronger trade relations, economic diversification, and growth.

Kendall, Air Force Secretary, said “When you look at it objectively, China is a much greater strategic threat than Russia is”.[1]

Like I said, I'm a very benevolent person.

Trust me, I'll unleash my wrath on Musk the moment his actions cause my net worth go down due to TSLA stock going down.

But in my infinite compassion for lesser human beings, I allow Musk to continue doing things that are not 100% related to increasing TSLA stock price.

He has my blessing to purchase Twitter, if that makes him happy.

Don't get me wrong, there are limits to everything. Recently he asked if he can have a 9-th child and I said "absolutely no".

Another child would distract him from running a company and I, as a shareholder, absolutely cannot have it.
Around me in south devon we got fairly fast broadband actually pretty quickly (faster than my family who lived in the prime ministers constituency at the time), but then the progress (certainly for the same price) basically just stopped.

Luckily there are a few new ISPs popping up now.

I don't think modulo arithmetic per se includes any notion of "less". Typical definitions of "order" for an algebraic structure would require the order to be translation invariant, which isn't true in modulo arithmetic.

Ars Technica. Not perfect, but one of the best tech news sites in my view (especially their space coverage and their occasional deep dives on a science topic). And its comment section is, mostly, worth checking out. Like anywhere it can get a little echo-chamber-y at times, but it mostly stays pretty civil. It's helped by the story authors and editors hanging out in the comments.
What happens if you say "no"? Update systems generally seem to just nag you relentlessly until you give in and accept whatever the designers want; does the Tesla system actually go away when you tell it to? If so, then maybe I wouldn't hate it so much.

I've never actually taken a car back to a dealership.
> For Tesla shareholders I'd say the risk here is much higher than any possible reward.

I think that's probably right. But do those Tesla shareholders believe it?
Very wide range. On the cryptography side: new signature schemes, cryptographic proof systems. Research on voting systems, economic incentive design, coordination and trust problems with value transfers (bridges) across different chains, VM + compiler design for smart contract execution
There is certainly some room for improvement! :)
It is a specialized tool for a specific set of tasks. If you don't even know what this (very clearly named and commonly known in the industry/hobby) type of a tool is used for, you definitely don't have a need for it.

Your issue with it is akin to someone complaining that a promo page for a premium-tier oscillator clearly states that it is an oscillator, but doesn't explain what oscillators are and what they can be used for.
> I didn't even know credit scores got as high as yours.

A bit of an aside, but the richest person I know (as in buys multi-million dollar cars on a whim and has many many of those) says his credit score is pretty mediocre because he's never had a loan. I'd thought having gazillion dollars in the bank would give you a good credit score but guess not.

When idiots started using the "echo" tags in tech oriented forums, people would jokingly ask where all these damn lisp programmers were coming from.
Disney should close for the summer. Let Florida know how their economy actually works. Disney would eat the cost of a summer closure as a cost of doing business. And not incidentally, Dems have been in bed with Disney for ages, dragging out copyright ad infinitum, so why do they not line up behind Disney to make a big issue out of this nonsensical demagogic bullying ? Isn't Disney sort of the definition of "family-friendly" ?

No mention of Time Machine.

No mention of Caching Server

No mention of File Server.

Three things that happens to be what I thought important apart from MDM, gets no mentions and I assume no use at all? Caching Server used to cache iCloud content as well. Never tried it with iCloud Photos though so I am not sure if it is a backup solution if Apple ever log you out of APPLE ID.

This basically ends the dreams of Apple ever selling a Time Capsule with iOS backup and NAS functions.
this is the first i've heard of this. links? not trying to be a jerk at all; i just like learning more about far out rumors like this.

Hi. OP here. Shame about the lack of a webcam since I do a lot of video calls.

Otherwise the G14 would have made my list. The reviews I read on HN suggested it would be worth a look.

Edit: saw that the parent post says that that has been fixed in this year's model. Will take a look. Thanks both!
Then we’re “playing the game” by caring how he spends his money and trying to use social pressure to force changes in law. You can’t simultaneously say Musk should be able to do what he wants because he can, and then tell others that they need to behave differently.

Well, you can, but it’d be massively hypocritical and an opinion that’s easily dismissed
> US would go to war with China over Taiwan

They've repeatedly signaled and backed this up with a real aircraft carrier that sails between the straits. They aren't doing this just for show. The ball is in CCP's court, if they venture too far past their coastline they are going to face USN + JSDF.

Again, Taiwan is NOT ukraine. It's semiconductor supply is critical to national security and the economy.

US also signaled they would hit China with sanctions and I don't think it's a bluff. China needs US more than US needs it.

There is also the long storied history of the Helicarrier:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicarrier
Some of BT's early fibre rollouts were... interesting. In particular, there were various unlucky people who ended up not being able to get broadband at all because they were on BT fibre - as in, not even 512kbps ADSL, just nothing. That's because BT rolled out an ancient ancestor of current fibre technology called TPON that worked almost the same way as current fibre-to-the-home but was literally telephony only. They eventually ended up replacing a bunch of this with new copper runs just so they could offer basic ADSL.
Even my local german newspaper decided to publish an article debunking this claim because it keeps popping up again and again.
The notice says

> The most popular server features—Caching Server, File Sharing Server, and Time Machine Server are bundled with every installation of macOS High Sierra and later, so that even more customers have access to these essential services at no extra cost.
> EDIT: would love to hear opposing downvoting views. our votes are already digital and tamperable

So instead of making them less tamperable you instead want to make it seamless to buy and sell votes as well as less private?

Blockchains solve precisely zero of the hard problems in voting, and instead add tons of problems.

Cryptography for voting? Absolutely-- sure. There is plenty that cryptography has to offer, but not the blockchain part. Bitcoin is useful, but blockchain voting is a receipt for corruption.
Global Climate Change / catastrophes

This looks interesting. Their “before” picture is a bit misleading though; it’s a worst-case. You can already get an account with Silicon Valley Bank as a startup and originate ACH directly over NACHA (source: I built this).

However, providing an API abstraction over ACH is cool. I would say it’s worth paying a bit more to Stripe to not have to deal with ACH directly, but then you add a payment hop between you and your payees (==delay) so having a bank that offers a nice API without adding a hop would be very useful.

Note that “FBO” (for benefit of) bank accounts are actually quite a valuable feature that is expensive to set up as a startup, and let you execute some exotic legal/funds-flow structures. So pretty cool that you can get those.

Jamf Now is iOS-only, I’m afraid.
I've never heard this part either:

"What is quite astonishing is that a very similar thing happened in the United States. The US, UK and Japan were leading the world. In the US, a judge was appointed by Congress to break up AT&T. And so AT&T became things like BellSouth and at that point, political decisions were made that crippled the roll out of optical fibre across the rest of the western world, because the rest of the countries just followed like sheep."
He also claimed FSD will be better than humans within a year in that interview. I'm not buying it.
> I'm not justifying the war here.

Sorry I misunderstood. Hopefully you can see why I might have thought that the conversation had taken a turn in that direction.

In any case, thanks for an interesting conversation.
Love the etymology of the original name:

> The name "Hotmail" was chosen out of many possibilities ending in "-mail" as it included the letters HTML, the markup language used to create web pages (to emphasize this, the original type casing was "HoTMaiL").

Never seen this kind of thing before, but I wonder if there's a decent way to scam the music side. Invest a few months of return into click farms to buy streams for some of your licensed music, see if any of the algorithms decide it's popular now and you get more money in your pocket.
What’s interesting about this article is that it lays the blame with anti-Trust actions.

The article argues that BT and AT&T if they were allowed to keep their monopolies would have allowed the UK and US to have far greater internet speeds via massive fiber deployments.

I have always seen monopolies as harming consumers and more competition as being beneficial, but this is an interesting observation.

Same here! Tcl/tk is a lovely little language and much under appreciated by many! Interesting software started in tcl, such as redis, expect and sqlite. Still use some tcl through environment-modules, in my personal work setup.

Have to say that lisps are very nice too, in my opinion. Started learning a little common lisp recently and was surprised by its elegance. I think lisps can be very maintainable, when care is taken. It's easy to write unreadable programs, but this also holds for tcl. With great power comes great responsibility.

There's a big difference between forbidding "crashing a plane" and forbidding "recklessly endangering people and property". The most obvious example being: there are circumstances in which crashing is unavoidable. Sully, for instance, crashed a plane in a way that protected life and property.

It is much more precise to just forbid "endangering people/property" than it is to try to enumerate every action that could be dangerous and then adding exceptions.
There’s a content caching service now that doesn’t require a server: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/what-is-content-cac...

Very interested to see if this actually ends up saving money for which use cases exactly. Seems very hard to determine that right now. But this is the holy grail I've been looking for if it doesn't end up pulling the firebase problem on you, massive costs out of nowhere or ability to predict how much it will be. I guess that's why they let you set a limit, so it's not unlimited, but even so I wish they could analyze your current usage patterns over a month with the non-serverless aurora product, and then give a price reduction estimate comparison had you been using V2 serverless. Would immediately give a ton of people confidence and create word of mouth buzz on forums that it actually is super promising.
> I had a call from my bank while spending a few hundred on cocktails in Bali (I'm from London), I hadn't used my card yet on that trip as I'd taken cash.

Mine dit that as well a couple of times (Santander UK; my account was nothing special though I do travel internationally several times a year; it was a mistake every time and I never had any fraud with this card). The first time I took it, but now I would say that I cannot, end the discussion, and then call them to their known number. Also, I’ve never had a human ask me to read numbers from a text message. They (well, another bank, but still) do occasionally ask me to unlock their app using either biometrics or a PIN; they can see it in real time and that can only be done on a single pre-approved device.

Grew up in the 80's and 90's. Yeah, I remember a few. Had an uncle who always had Limbaugh or Harvey on in the background. I guess I didn't know about Colmes as I'd never heard him until I saw him on TV I guess a bit later.

As a kid, and even today, I'm bewildered by the fact it was and is still popular. Why do folks actively seek to listen to things that will make them angry or get them worked up? I guess it sells, but not to me.

Can you tell me please what you mean by this?

AFAIK, Twitter is decentralized and fragmented for any actor to orchestrate an all-out political witch hunt where everyone on the platform goes against anyone in particular.

As far as Trump's business holdings go, Trump Organization runs like a brand management firm where they license and operate businesses with Trump name plastered on them, and I believe it's safe to say that the brand name's risk profile increased greatly due to the association with Trumpism from 2015 onward.
No matter how you're encrypting, if you're authenticating, you have to store the authenticator. Which is why GCM "expands" the size of the message. If you're not authenticating, you're not encrypting securely.

The fact that XTS isn't authenticated is a huge problem with full-disk encryption.
