And yet the livestream giveaway scams persist on YouTube. Scammers earning so much. At any moment you can find at least 10 videos running concurrently, each with money in the associated crypto addresses.

The smart scammers are not doing NFT tomfoolery, they are doing fake Saylor and Musk giveaways instead and earning far more money much more consistently. While YouTube does nothing. Cofeezilla is not going to stop people from continuing to fall for these much more persistent scams. Its going to have to come from youtube.
I just checked:

* They IPOed and are still in business.

* If I had taken the offer, the stock would have been worth between 50k and 150k per year, depending on when I sold it. Their estimate of 100k per year was spot-on.

So they were being honest. Good to know! They were late enough stage when I was applying that they could do a fairly reasonable valuation. I think I would have been much more likely to take the offer if I had information like this in writing.

I still think I was right to value the equity much lower, since I had no way to know if they were being honest at the time.
At the FAANG companies I’m familiar with, the coding portion is sort of a standard bar that everyone must pass, from new grads to 30-year veterans. The more senior you get, the less they matter.

If you were being hired into a specialist role such as for low-level networking, there would absolutely be a more detailed “Systems” interview where you would discuss in depth the topics you mentioned, usually in the context of a more open-ended “architectural” problem.

Interviewee performance on these “Systems” interviews hold a lot more weight at senior levels, not just for hire/no hire decisions, but in fact the level of your offer.

Not really, you're usually setting up commands and buffers and stuff in Vulkan. If you're making millions of calls a frame, you're going to have other bottlenecks.

My favorite example is something like Substance designer's node graph or Disney's SeExpr. You'd often want custom nodes that do often something trivial like a lookup from a custom data format or a small math evaluation, but you're calling the node potentially a handful of times per pixel, on millions of pixels. The calling overhead often comes out to take as much time or more than the operation, but there's no easy way to rearrange the operations without making things a lot more complicated for everyone.

I kind of like python's approach, make it so slow that it's easy to notice when you're hitting the bottleneck. Encourages you to write stuff that works in larger operations, and you get stuff like numpy and tensorflow which are some of the fastest things out there despite the slowest binding.

> Then you have to hope that the provider isn't automatically picking lower quality for your "viewing experience".

Even on my 100+ megabits/second link they do this. Would it kill them to allow me to download the whole thing ahead of time so I can watch offline and in high quality? Download the next episode while I'm watching the current one?

Connection goes down? The content just stops playing. Reminds me of satellite TV and the loss of service due to weather. "Pirates" just don't have any of these problems.

> The native Netflix Windows app allows you to watch 4K HDR video with Atmos, that's about it with a PC. The app hasn't been updated for four years, can't do optical surround audio and hardware decoding is broken with older Nvidia graphics cards. What a wondrous experience.

God I hate the streaming platform software so much. I can't even begin to describe how much it sucks. Something simple like seeking or even rewinding 5-10 seconds is such a aggravating experience, it's actually trained me not to even attempt it anymore. On mpv I can just use arrow keys and it does what I asked it to do instantly. We had better software than this in the 90s.

> Pirates on the other hand can just wait for the content to download and watch it offline, with whatever OS, whenever, with any HDMI cable or screen.

Yeah. That's what we get for trying to support creators: companies that give less of a shit about quality than literal enthusiasts sharing files online for the love of it. One would think these corporations worth zillions of dollars would be able to beat these amateurs when it comes to offering superior service. Nope.
So 900K Ukrainian reservists are added towards the fighting force, while the Russian reservists are not?

With right goal post shifting and creative definitions of "fighting force" you may be able to show that Ukrainians are a larger force.

Then there is this thing as reality. On actual battlefields Russians outnumber Ukrainians.
Yep, time to reconsider the resignations as constructive dismissal via the legal system.

But the merchant knows and (unless it's a very old mom & pop shop), they didn't do it manually, the itemized receipt is in their computer system. Which the government can easily obtain and correlate with the credit card transaction so now they have both.

As the downstream comments say, if you're any kind of persecuted minority, this is a big problem.

I never said anything about fun foods or whether things were economically efficient. I simply said it's absurd to blame consumers in Ohio for lack of water in California. If you want to blame politicians, go for it. If you want to blame California farmers for it, be my guest. But if everybody in the midwest stopped buying CA food, that wouldn't change anything in CA. It's not up to the OH consumer to fix CA farmer problems.
I think abuse potential is key here. Having the governments enforce strictly requires a lot of observations and tools that can readily be abused for all kinds of shit.

This has been studied. It’s true but only with caveats and qualifications. Yes they’d be making “more”, but the only important question is how much more, and the answer is that it’s not nearly as much as the degree holders. One really big reason for this is that income is partly based on having the degree, not some kind of objective idea of skill or intelligence or determination.
All of those things might be true, but I think what they are meaning by ‘culturally inferior’ is that there is less variety in people, food, and activities. This is simply an inescapable fact of having fewer people. You won’t be able to find as wide a variety of food, or entertainment, or art in a place with fewer people. There simply aren’t enough people to sustain the same level of variety.
No, I'm not surprised, that's why it's on the bingo card. They are very different languages, so endlessly comparing them is tiresome.

Given that they Nazi flags were not a statistically significant component of the protest (perhaps only one person of unknown motivation) a serious person would not have mentioned it at all. Of course, today's politicians in Canada are generally not serious people it seems which is unfortunate because of their outsized impact on everyone's lives.

I'd never heard of this senator before watching this video, but he really did summarize the situation well and seems to me to be a legitimately serious person unlike many of our current politicians (all parties).

The "multiple ways of doing things" is a feature, not a bug and something which lives in almost every programming language. It's become a meme at this point and a lazy argument against a language.
it would appear that you've forgotten the key power of a human in education - adaptability.

Much better phrased than I was able to do it.

>I have not travelled all over USA to have a taste of every possible small town, but the ones I did visit that had monoculture often also had a very 'conform to us or leave' type of vibe.

With the size of the US, even traveling within the US it is still similar everywhere you go. An interesting bit about Europe is that you can visit totally different culture with a few hours travel by train. I can travel the same distance and still be in my same state, so traveling to new cultures is difficult. It's just a unique state of things, not a claim of better/worse
I agree Scala is very powerful. I said messy because it is "too powerful", added too many features. I think this is their mistake. I respect the community, but can show my opinion as you can about java.
That's fine for a tight loop. Performance might still matter in a bigger application. This benchmark is measuring the overhead, which is relevant in all contexts; the fact that it does it with a loop is a statistical detail.
I am afraid also Europe has seen debilitating attacks in more Countries. Parts of the attacks have been public - some intentional, some collateral - or exposed; results can be evident and documented.

Electrons can’t lose their charge through radiation because they can’t have fractional charge. They radiate photons to lose momentum. (They can become uncharged by combining, eg e+P = N).

A black hole can presumably radiate charged Hawkings radiation? I.e. if an electron-positron pair is created near the event horizon of a negatively-charged black hole then it would disproportionately capture positrons and repel electrons, thus radiating away its charge. (Could be wrong here, I’ve not looked into charged black holes before). I would assume here that charge radiates away at a different rate than mass, and by her statements it sounds like ch argue evaporates away quicker.

She’s not making a general claim that “everything that radiates loses charge”, that would be silly.

I own it on DVD and just watched the special feature a couple weeks ago. It was really interesting to hear them talk about the research for the script, including getting Prof Adelman (the A in RSA) to consult on the lecture the mathematician was giving, and even to draft slides for him to present, which were not used in favor of projecting a sea of equations on a white background

There are other cool tidbits in there, they got an phreaker (sp?, phone hacker) who had done time in prison to consult as well. His nickname irl was Captain Crunch, and when they sort through the guy's garbage (the guy who's office they need to break into, played by the same actor as Action Jack Barker in Silicon Valley), they pull out a captain crunch box

The sibling comment actually does a pretty good job articulating why we as trans people (surprise! I’m one of them) receive the reactions we do. It’s a fundamental disgust at the concept of a trans person existing, full stop. In an ideal world for these people, we simply would not exist. We challenge their expectations by asking to be addressed in a way that goes against their ideas of what gender, at its core, means to them. It’s a belief that the world works in a specific and rigid way, and that respecting the way another person chooses to be addressed is “feeding into a delusion.” This also feeds into a larger bit of discourse around trans kids that is tinged with the usual “think of the children” moral panics that show up whenever a kid is some flavor of LGBTQ+. It does not make for a great time on the internet (or on Hacker News, specifically).

I agree that there are too many signs in Canada that don’t help because the roads feel like they support higher speeds.

I don’t think roads need to be mentally taxing as that just causes fatigue to already tired workers commuting. What you can do is offer visual and sensory cues so that the speed limit feels natural. For example, narrowing lanes, gradient changes, road material changes.
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, one thing I don’t understand from the Fed’s data is why the IRS (for example) or the government itself doesn’t instantly see the benefits of educating everyone at their expense, because it would immediately pay for itself many times over with the increase in tax income.

If money doesn't matter, who is going to fare the best when things start to collapse?

15 years here. There are a few things.

Housing affordability: Canadian prices have skyrocketed in the past 10-20 years and have increased much more than the US.

Cost of living: it’s generally higher in Canada.

Where to live: there is much more variety in the US. For instance, there are few “quaint small towns” in Canada in comparison. The American small town/city with a historic Main Street has survived, whereas it’s a fast-vanishing thing in Canada. Much of Canada is starting to look the same in terms of the built environment and urban planning.

Access to healthcare: Canada has universal healthcare, and the system kicks in if something serious happens. But for anything not at that level, there are serious issues. For instance, depending on where you live it can be hard to find a primary care doctor. There are waiting lists for many procedures, for imaging, etc. If you have an upper middle class type situation in the US your access to health care is much, much better. I can often get in to see my doctor within 24h.

Employment opportunities: it’s much better nowadays, but the US is still the place to be in terms of variety of work and compensation.

And finally, it’s hard to leave anywhere after decades - you get used to your life and your community. Canada will always be my homeland, but it’s starting to feel a bit alien to me, in subtle ways.

Canada has changed over the past 15 years and you can’t step into the same river twice.
> It's become a meme at this point and a lazy argument against a language.

This might be a casual dismissal of what is in fact a nuanced aspect of programming languages.

Multiple ways of doing the same thing can make the language less accessible because it becomes confusing to reason about what the "right" way is.

That said, this particular addition merely reduces repetitive toil, and it follows similar existing Java conventions, for example see the Java-7 equivalent of Python "with-statements".

The same feature does not entail the same tradeoff depending on the languages.

For Kotlin, extensions methods are essential otherwise you can not extend existing Java types with Kotlin types.

For C#, you need extension methods for LINQ because modifying the .Net runtime was not an option at that time.

For Java, changing the VM is not an issue, instead of extension methods you add default methods which can be overridden by implementations.

Same feature, different tradeoffs.

BitLocker type solutions don't rely on remote attestation. RA has never really taken off in any context.

Regardless, arguments against remote attestation are always very tricky. You're acting like it's morally clear cut but it's not.

RA is designed to stop you lying about what you're running to other people. It doesn't stop you running things, but it may mean others choose not to trade or engage with you based on what you're doing with the computer. So this is a direct translation to standard libertarian philosophy. You can choose your own terms but you can't force your preferred terms on others - you have to negotiate a contract that's mutually acceptable and then that contract needs to be enforced. RA is a kind of technologically enforced contract, instead of relying exclusively on the legal system.

That's why arguments that RA is evil always skip a few steps. The argument goes:

- I want to run X (typically some Linux distro)

- Some service Y won't trade with me unless X will do Z (typically enforcing some sort of agreement e.g. anti-cheat or license).

- X chooses not to do Z but I want Y to service me anyway. So I want to lie to them and feel entitled to being able to do that without being caught. This is moral because Linux.

Often with a helping of "I'm afraid that actually service Y might be most services".

The concerns here are valid - it would suck to no longer be able to use Linux with various remote services - but if you look at how the TPM and related tech are designed there's no actual technical reason you couldn't make Linux satisfy remote attestations. It's simply that Linux users would usually refuse to do so on philosophical grounds. Well, that's fine, but from a political and philosophical perspective it's reasonable for your counterparty to want some assurance that you'll actually implement the agreement you're claiming you will.
Sure Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump share similar personality traits that make them very successful in the internet dominated world. Its not something that I dismiss, but I don't think of them as being master manipulators or geniuses, mostly narcissists with right type of mass market appeal who were in the right place at the right time.

None of the branches of the UK governmental system care about international law, so this is not an impediment.

The judicial system is constitutionally required to ignore it. The legislature is mostly controlled by the executive. And the executive only respects international agreements when they are convenient.
A lot of Google projects seem to rely on other Google projects. In this case Monarch relies on spanner.
