Of course they won't stop buying phones, but specifically Apple's phones work very nicely with MacOS.
I have been under the impression that EULAs have not really been tested in court and that there is probably some reticence to actually attempt enforcement in case the result would invalidate the practice of EULAs altogether.

Normally, when you agree to a license, it is available for review and is agreed to before the purchase has been completed. Software EULAs -- presented after purchase -- seem more like a mugging.

Would be lovely to provide or deny consent for each of those actions detailed in the EULA -- the EULA becomes configuration.

What is a mombot?
It's trivial to do this with Gusto and companies like CorpNet. We have employees in 13 states and it's all automated.
I expect to see the entire gamut of possible reactions with a sufficient number of bot PRs. But in looking at 10 of them at random, I didn't find a single "negative response."

(I don't think ignoring it is invalid or wrong by any means, given there's so many reasons one might not engage in a timely manner, or at all, in the issues section or PRs. I don't monitor my repos issues because I just don't feel interested in supporting my code. Feel free to fork or ignore!)
Space Engine (avail for free on its website, or on Steam to support devs) is amazing! Beautiful, amazing attention to detail, and realistic. Shows objects we know details about with those details (eg things in our solar system), and procedurally generates the rest.
Robinhood added fractional shares before other brokers (and some still don’t have them) which is a minor advantage I guess.
What I've found from doing similar types of changes.

1. It's hard to explain the impact to the application of the current problem. Thus it looks like a theoretical issue

2. Sometimes people rely on the bug for their code to work

3. Surprise work can be poorly received (ie: not the current priority)

It's a shame that you got screwed out of what you'd been promised. I'm guessing yours wasn't in the $86 billion bailout (maybe because it only went to multi-employer union plans?)

Unfortunately, it's not just the private sector pensions that have been mismanaged (or raided, as you pointed out) which are in dire straits. California, in particular, has a lot of public pension headaches that will be coming to a head (and in some cases already have):

The issue for most younger people is standard of living that they are used to. Their parents bought houses in rural suburbia. Now that area is part of the bigger metropolitan area, and is getting gentrified.

Go on Zillow and look at actual rural America and you will find houses in the 100-130k range.

On the flip side, having a good standard of living != owning a house. I think that most people don't actually understand how the finances work out, and are just hoping that 30 years down the line their house is going to be worth more, without actually realizing the amount of money they "threw away" in interest.
the lower layers are absolutely necessary for the next layer up.

So to counter the idea, all you really need to do is find examples of self esteem and self actualization before achieving the physical needs.
I'm far more bullish on Qualcomm here. I just think they're in a great strategic long term position. The writing is on the wall when it comes to x86 for mobility, x86 is crap for mobility, ARM is fast enough to emulate legacy x86 apps, so for me the question isn't "Is ARM viable" it's "Can Qualcomm beat AMD/Intel's/Apple's non-ARM architectures"?

In that respect, I see Qualcomm's strategic positioning as being great because they power Android. I can only see them coming after Intel's Celeron line with a vengeance in the medium term, and I don't think they really be more than in the ballpark when it comes to performance, I think Qualcomm needs to compete on cost and power efficiency.

I don't really see RISC-V being a thing any time soon because smartphones run ARM, they don't run RISC-V.
Ha, I'll bite. This gets pretty personal so I'm going to mostly keep it at a high level.

The dark side is that attractiveness is a form of power. Having power changes people, especially if one has lived a large portion of their life without this particular expression of power.

Through this lens, excessive enjoyment of one's attractiveness and the impact that has on others can be seen as a form of megalomania; excessive confidence becomes arrogance, self-love becomes narcissism.

In short, it's easy to become an asshole, or mentally unwell.
That's actually covered in the article. "Mills" is the term of art for the amount levied in property taxes. Reedy Creek has the ability to tax at 30mills and currently taxes at 13.67 (1/3 of which goes to paying the debt) the counties are limited to only taxing at a rate up to 10 mills (and are currently at about ~7 mills (Osceola) and ~5 (Orange) so there's a 3.67 shortfall they can't make up and another 3-5 which they currently don't.

The added revenue to the counties would be far short of the amount they'd need to provide the current services and service the debt.

"don’t really know anything other than how to be greedy" - this is a pretty bad faith take, and also simply not true. In the US at least, business grads typically take accounting courses, marketing courses, even statistics courses. All of those skills lead to jobs that can provide both societal and economic value.
The vast majority of investors are not trading enough money for these minute scrapings to add up to anything at all. OTOH TD ameritrade et all were charging you $7.99 a trade or whatever hustle they had people forced into previously.
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you have the entire story;

x86 is old and massive. You're correct, it has hundreds upon hundreds of instructions, many of which require hardware accommodations that can be fairly expensive to implement on-die. On top of that, it has a bevvy of ISA extensions like SSE and AVX that require even more hardware, and can drive complexity even further.

The issue is that ARM is getting to the same point. ARM is no longer RISC; it's instruction set is anything but reduced. Much like x86, it has hardware-specific instructions that correlate to esoteric software features like Javascript execution or OS sandboxing. It also has lots of extensions like NEON, as well as Apple-specific ones that cannot be open sourced or replicated by third parties that want to also adopt ARM. The push to "modularize" ARM has failed, so much so that we update the spec with new versions requiring specific extensions to qualify. ARM from a hardware implementation perspective has become a mess, arguably moreso than x86 has. On top of that, it's extensions are fairly disappointing when compared to x86 ones. NEON gets smoked by AVX by 2 orders of magnitude. Floating point math is utterly lethargic without hardware extensions. Extended precision on ARM is simply not very well-supported. All of these things come back to bite it when considering as a desktop architecture, and ultimately represent a conflict of interests with it's application; ARM was split between running on $1 microcontrollers and $1,000 iPhones. There was no good solution that would please everyone, so they tacked on complexity until both sides were happy.

And that leads us to where we are today, with two bloated architectures fighting it out for superiority on completely separate terms. x86 is by no means a perfect architecture, but ARM also suffers a lot of the same issues. They're both old, they're both extremely specific in implementation and require lots of licensing to produce. The advantages of switching to ARM are controversial and marginal, much like the case for moving away from x86. On top of that, it's not like 5 watt x86 chips don't exist; they simply aren't comparable to the M1 or other high-performance ARM chips because they're manufactured on silicon that's 2-3x less dense. On paper, x86 has a lot of efficiency it can recoup by moving to more recent lithography, and until Apple is fighting x86 manufacturers on equal footing (which should kick up around EOY '23), I think it's too early to say who's "won" the desktop market. We simply don't know, but counting x86 out of the game is a pretty hype-driven musing in my opinion.
Disney is not giving sex talks to kids without parents permission. They are being called groomers.

> I don't really care what Disney is being called. I care about teachers engaging in sexual discussion w/ minors without permission.
If you do that, or you support this policy, I'll call you a groomer and I'll report you.

Ok, so not giving sex talks to kids without parents’ permission is not, in fact, a simple way to avoid being called a groomer. Got it.
This convinces me the corporate media is genuinely stupid.

The threshold for publication needs to be higher than stating obvious sentiments felt cross all cultures and throughout history. Despite all that, the editor(s) let this story get published. And they wonder why their business is dying.
The NYT, er, N.Y.T. has a crazy set of rules for acronyms/initialisms.

Acronyms—which according to the N.Y.T is any initialism which is pronounceable as a word instead of by its individual letters—are styled in all capitals when they are four letters or fewer. Longer acronyms are styled in titlecase.

Meanwhile, initialisms retain periods between the capital letters. (I find this to be terribly ugly since it messes up kerning.)

So with this combination of rules we get this ridiculous result: N.F.L., NATO, and Nafta.

They used to write "Nascar", but it seems they've changed their mind on that:

The government generally doesn't recognize having no fixed address whatsoever. I was caught 20 miles from the nearest road once 'illegally existing' in a wilderness area in Oregon 'without a permit.' The officer of course had nowhere to take me because there was no prison or way to extract me out, we literally randomly found each other on a mountain. When I told him I had no address he literally had no way to enter that on his form. He told me it was impossible and he had to put _something_. I'm not sure what he ultimately wrote. Of course he let me go, because what the hell are you going to do someone 20 miles from the nearest road short of calling a helicopter.

Having no address makes the government's brain explode.

Same! I've made the mistake of overlooking certain things just because I wanted to get some real world OCaml experience in the past, and I will not make the same mistake again.

At my current job I mostly use OCaml and Python, with some Typescript for whenever I need to touch a frontend application. As much as I like using OCaml, I'm more thrilled about working on a team where I enjoy working with everyone, and having a work environment that provides flexibility about picking the best tool for a job. Most of my OCaml hacking still takes place on my free time, and on my personal open-source explorations :-)

You are welcome! Sorry if my responses weren't too useful with respect to using OCaml at work.

All of Harold Bloom’s books.
I find it ironic that the article points out that relying on error from humans to find errors is something of a hit or miss proposition and suggests that automating error finding is an appropriate course instead of making it less likely to make the error in the first place.

For example, I wonder how many errors would have been found if the definition of a format string was the default? That is, how many times would people have written something like "hello {previously-defined-variable}" and not meant to substitute the value of that previously defined variable at runtime?
UK healthcare is already being privatised, but not in the way you think
Human lives aren't data to be stored against future need. These "backups" aren't redundant; they will have worth, and demands, and dreams, and rights of their own. Are we adequately accounting for that when we imagine this interstellar future? Are we able to meet our responsibility to them with the dignity they deserve? I strongly do not think we are.

It's chilling but correct that so much of the language around this concept talks of colonies, because that is what we're discussing. Other lives, kept far away, for some benefit to ourselves, but not to them.

Until we can present a plausible vision for "the good life" in space, away from the earth that birthed us, we should not be pursuing this goal. If we end then so be it. We have many other means to reduce that possibility, much more accessible, that we're refusing to use right now. Let's pick up that shovel and see how far we can get first.
Lion was a bad release filled with bugs, but it introduced a lot of features I don't think I could live without. Things like high DPI support, the ability to render emoji (!), and the ability to rename a document from an app's title bar. Behind the scenes, Lion is when Apple introduced Automatic Reference Counting. And, while I know they're controversial, I really like how Apple implemented full screen and auto saving, particularly after the Apple tweaked them in Mountain Lion.

Mountain Lion went a long way towards fixing Lion's problems, and Mavericks just about finished the job. Which is why I run Mavericks. The only remaining Lion things I really dislike are the Launchpad, the hidden Library folder, and some minor-ish aesthetic differences. I've patched some of these.
There has been a lot of chatter about people getting more followers and not getting banned as easily anymore. I personally have seen tweets remain for days that 100% got people banned before. I don't know if there's anything more to it, but from what I'm seeing is that there's been a change in policy in regards to what is allowed or enforcement of violations.

But yeah, it might just be noise. I don't know if anyone has any more information.

The reason isn't strange. Menthol was exempted because it's primarily consumed by black people who reliably vote for the current party in power and they didn't want to piss off a large part of their voter base by banning it.

Sad but true.

Yep. The move to free software was about much more than the price. Pay for MS Office. Use it on the one machine it was authorized. Need to reinstall? Hope you kept the authorization code. Want to access your data outside of MS Office? Sucker. You stuck it all in their (at that time) proprietary formats. You bought a laptop? Great. Now you can buy another copy of MS Office to go with it.
> People will refuse to pay $50 once for software but will happily pay $20-$50 per month for a service that offers less performance, no privacy, worse security, no continuity if you stop using it, fuzzy ownership of your own data, and a system that utterly vaporizes if the company goes away.

Daily reminder for HN that if the service you buy is an ongoing service then paying once doesn’t work. If the company has a monthly expense related to servicing you, it makes sense to have a monthly payment to them. Dropbox et al. can’t be “buy once” because that’s not how the cost of data centers work.
Careful there. It is true that Maslow did not have as much data as he should have (and would've liked). He admits it as much, and repeatedly warns in his books that "more data is needed". That said, on your point (2), he explicitly says in his paper (A Theory of Human Motivation) that the "hierarchy" is not absolutely universal:

"No claim is made that it is ultimate or universal for all cultures. The claim is made only that it is relatively more ultimate, more universal, more basic, than the superficial conscious desires from culture to culture [...]"

(Where "it" == Maslow's classification of basic needs.)

A counter-point to Maslow's model is the "self-determination theory"[1]. It is "a meta-theory that consists of several mini-theories".

Not sure the answer on how to get into management and start growing again, it's been a bunch of doors closed in my face so far, too.

There's a detailed and useful description of the order flow market from Bloomberg's Matt Levine at https://archive.ph/kgApm. I don't think it's accurate to say RH clients were getting screwed on order flow. They were getting less of the order flow benefit in exchange for no-fee trades.
> But I think, other than the onset of Covid, and the last 6 months, I haven't seen an overly negative messaging.

But that is exactly when they could and did do the messaging - if you were out there saying VC is drying up from July 2020 to December 2021 you would have looked like a moron; but the negative messaging was very apparent the months prior and after that window.

It is absolutely in investors interests to paint a narrative of economic downturn - they are bidding to buy something, and they want to buy it at the best price they do so.

I'm not saying that is unscrupulous - that's how dealmaking works, but it is very real.
> they could have posted more collateral, and given that they raised billions soon after, it was within the real [realm?] of possibility for them

Money they raised later couldn't have been used as collateral until they actually raised it, even if the investors would still invest under those conditions.
Why isn't 1 a prime number? (2019)
Black people were discriminated in the US from the beginning. This discrimination continued long after civil rights reforms in public and private institutions.

Even if you could magically eliminate racism in every human brain on earth with a snap of your fingers, the socio-econimic factors, inherited from the beginning would continue to be disadvantageous for blacks. So the racism back then, even when not present in minds today, would persist. This is called systemic racism, because we discriminate indirectly, not by skin color but by education, vocabulary, human capital in general. And on top, racism will of course prevail in minds.

From that, you can easily advocate for some sort of compensation, some kind of counter discrimination, anti-racism.

I find that term troublesome too, because you actually asking for support for all poor people, not just blacks, but i would never call it a ideological label and bad, because i can see the reason behind it. Using it as a label and associating it with (group) identity is unfortunate but not my mistake.
I don't think misrepresenting others and premeditated lying for personal gain are at all "relatively mild".

Just because the scope of the lie is relatively small and unlikely to cause significant damages, doesn't do enough to counter the extreme brazenness and tastelessness of this.
