which then encourages investment (it is, after all, what financial products end up being used to finance).

This investment would, if done smartly, will produce more goods and services to justify the higher prices of those financial instruments.

Thus, the economy grows. The financial growth leads the goods/services growth. Unless, of course, the financial growth is spent poorly (which is of course, totally possible), and thus you get nothing out of the spent resources.

It's not that I don't think there's a valid case for this kind of arithmetic, it's just that the compiler doesn't really know what you're trying to accomplish, and in what context the result will be used. All of this is a consequence of a non-perfect world where the compiler can't contextually evaluate what the programmer is doing.

All type systems are just abstractions designed to make it easier to express your intent while minimising mistakes. Storing the result of dividing an integer by a float, or vice-versa, in an integer is totally possible in C, but very likely not the behaviour the programmer intended. Should the compiler just forbid this? I guess what Rust has done is just one possible tradeoff.

For what it's worth, Ada has actually introduced semantics for dealing with arithmetic using units of measurement[1].

Based on their difficulty articulating the actual issue, I'm pretty confident that this wasn't intentional. Probably someone in a body shop following a checklist.

The specific box is labeled:

2. App submission contact email

This is the email we will use to communicate

There are separate boxes for support email, review notification email, etc. So I think the reviewer was simply confused.
I think the point is that it is too soon to say the bet hasn't paid off, maybe it pays off many years from now.
I quite like what Haskell has here. You type in number literals, but they get a type based on context. So 2*3.14 will work there.
I've only sold short one company. It was called Parateum, and claimed to sell IoT products to telecoms in emerging economies. They were worth about $550 million at the time.

It caught my eye when I was looking through their accounts and saw a very dubious clause that defined the way they recognized revenue. Basically it said management can unilaterally decide when revenue happens, and they were deciding it happened whenever they dispersed a press release about a supposed new major contract being signed. The money never existed.

I decided they were a fraud for certain when I used Google Earth to search the addresses of their offices in various countries they claimed to do business in. Time after time, the result was a dead end dirt road in the African bush, or some dingy hovel in South East Asia occupied by a suspicious looking night club.

It was that easy. I had the short on for about a year until a major hedge fund released a report on it. Shares fell ~90% pretty quickly. They've been delisted since.
The relevant part were our model calculations and it was already heavily optimized (no allocations, etc.), so none of the new library stuff would help at all. We just found that Linux .NET Core underperformed compared to Windows .NET anything (Framework or Core). Maybe our methodology was wrong, but we had a few people look at it, made the comparison in several ways, and generally tried to be quite thorough. We always found Linux (only .NET Core) had ~0.9x the performance of Windows (any .NET) — and we were a mostly Linux shop, running C/C++ apps, so our Linux build was appropriately tuned. Given .NET Core was relatively new at the time, and Framework still had some legs, we didn’t dig down as far as looking at IR or JIT output, because we could afford to wait. After all, one of the draws was to reduce problems due to using our fancy network cards+stack in Windows, so there was no point in adding complexity from a new Linux .NET runtime, including complexity from having to troubleshoot performance.

I’ve been saying “we”, but I left that job a couple years ago so I won’t be trying any new .NET versions myself :-)
There are a small but significant number of people, of whom many work with and produce complex works and ideas, who seem to be mega-tab users, with 100s or even 1,000s of open tabs. I suspect many also disable telemetry and similar mechanisms on browsers, leading to a strong discounting of their actual numbers, to say nothing of the rather harder problem of identifying their actual significance and usefulness.

The web browser itself is being torn in several directions, one being as a general application platform (itself running on numerous platforms, from desktop to mobile devices), another as an information or document-management tool.

There's some argument that the first role is poorly served. I'm rather more concerned with the second, which also fails miserably.

For all that our computers and mobile devices are supposed to be information management tools ... they perform miserably at this task. There are very few tools which both organise and present information (Zotero and Calibre seem to be amongst the best), and those perform poorly for Web content --- their chief strength is with static document formats such as PDF and ePub.

Another affordance of physical document management which no online experience seems to offer is the ability to organise and arrange information quickly by simple physical arrancement. My books and hardcopy articles can be placed on shelves, piled in stacks, slipsheeted or foldered for quick organisation. Even turning sheets or cards at 90 degree angles provides quick structuring. Digital files offer speed and scale, but lack much of this immediate tangibility.

There's also the convenience of garbage collection: Entire shelves or stacks can be picked up and discarded when they are of no further use.

Browser tabs, especially when using a tree-style extension, do provide a quick-and-dirty physical arrangement. It's not a direct analogue of paper methods, but comes close, and believe it or not, does reasonably structure even a very large set of tabs and pages, well into the 100s or low 1,000s, from personal experience.
It's a philosophic dialogue.
People definitely do seem to like status.

I think part of it is that competence is much harder to check for than status. Status is inherently very "legible", which can make it useful even if it only kind of correlates with competence.

But yeah, I'm another happy user of a catch-all. No issue with sharing the accounts between domains - a password manager does this for me. And even if something like gap/banana happened - who cares, I'd just create a new account.

Sure Bluetooth will play the audio, but the app has a bunch of other controls: choosing an episode, skipping commercials, adjusting playback speed, etc. I’ve used that and it’s a big step backward to the 2000’s. I end up wanting to go on my phone while driving.
The argument they're making is that because the original value of the dollar is worth X amount of gold, until the 70's (where we got off the gold standard), the "actual", gold backed value would've been a constant multiple of the price of gold today (since gold's value is stable under this assumption), and thus, the dollar lost a bunch of value.

i don't buy it, because the amount of possible goods/services purchasable today is much higher than back in the 70's.
Not sure where you learned this, but capitalism doesn’t assume either of those things.

Capitalism does not assume the market optimize for the public good. It assumes when each party optimizes for their own self-interest, that optimizes resource use.

And in terms of regulatory capture/corruption, I hope you're not assuming that it's somehow unique to capitalism? In fact, as the Soviet Union and China have shown, corruption is rather greater under those systems.

I doubt so, because the root cause is here a lack of trust, for many in governments and authorities, and for some even to the very underlying technical system (most "solutions" leading to worse problems).

> similar to the kind of education being done for climate change.

I doubt so, because climate change is perceptible, therefore the message is "See? We have a problem! Nearly all scientists say that fossil fuel use is a prominent cause and we all can do something about it" is way more easy than, after many blunders of all kinds and in every field, touting "We, the gov, checked this nuclear thing. It is above the adequate level of safety, so let's optimize in order to quickly build many reactors". It may be true (even if I doubt so) but this is IMHO out of the current Overton window scope.

> harm done by coal

Yes, avoiding any "manufacturing of consent".

Yes, there is reason to accept that some can use it without compensating for bad externalities.

Yes.
I remember when that popped up on my screen in college. Fun problems. There was one where you derived the page rank algorithm, but they framed it as radioactive decay.

> I don't think there are any advantages today of using an analogue synth.

It's funny. Dave Smith worked on the very first software instruments in the early 90's. He thought it wasn't really fun to use so he went back to creating analogue synths, his first product with his new company was the Evolver, the rest is history.

Turns out a lot of people don't find plugins very fun to use or inspiring, it's as simple as that. Smith was right since some people are willing to pay almost $5000 for a new Prophet 10 Rev4 in retail.
It's fine to do science without knowing up front whether something is falsifiable. One of the steps in the scientific method is to formulate a hypothesis. You can go up to that step even before you figure out whether you have something falsifiable; you just can't go past it until you do.

The message has been forged, as can be observed from the From: header being a domain that the sending server was not authorized to send from.

Whether a subset of the message -- in this case the body -- is authentic doesn't matter. If I were to MITM google.com and send back an archived snapshot from a month ago, that would be forged traffic even if it matches responses that Google had once sent.
It's Chromium-based, so using it supports Google's dominance over the web.
I do not understand how people get through their day without doing at least 2-3 searches an hour. If you're online, working or pretending to work, consuming all that "internetz info", how can you do that without also bombarding Google with Q's about translations between languages, conversion between metric/imperial, basic fact-checking, wikipedia-ing, looking up definitions of words, and such? Even while listening to music, I Google either a phrase from the song or, if I know it, the title plus "lyrics" to immerse myself further into it.

I truly appreciate Kagi's effort and their transparency when it comes to cost.

I will definitely pay money to become "not the product". Is search as important as Netflix? To me, the answer is hell yes. I just need my next search engine to be at least as good as Google. That bar is pretty high, regardless of what we say here on HN.
That's what the person you're replying to said as well. In order to use Bluetooth, their app had to request a location permission from the user. If they wrote an app targeting a version of Android before that range, the permission would be requested for them even if their code didn't explicitly request it. If they targeted a version in that range, they would have to request the permission at build time.

I think that is mentioned near the end of the article:

> Other researchers, including Schöley, have taken a related approach, reporting in preprints how average life expectancy — which is calculated using age-specific mortality rates — has changed over the pandemic in more than 20 countries. On the basis of these calculations, for instance, the United Kingdom has fared worse than Spain and Italy in terms of life expectancy lost over the past two years, even though the three countries have broadly similar excess-death numbers. Spain, Italy and Germany have roughly equal values for life expectancy, and Sweden and other Scandinavian nations had by the end of 2021 recovered the average life-expectancy losses caused by the pandemic (see ‘Life-expectancy losses’).
It goes way up for advanced degrees.

This is a 'layoff in the form of a culture and commitment dog whistle'.
I disagree that it's misleading. Or maybe, yes, it's misleading, but in the opposite way you think-- misleading investors that it's an expanding revenue stream. Shift your view further to FY13. If we're making the claim of a "shakedown over [2] decades" we should look at the past decade.

I use Q2 '22 specifically because it's a recent quarter that's most likely to reflect the vision of the current CEO. Given that my thesis is "current Qualcomm is different", I think it's apropos to talk about current results. And my yearly sampling is based off of the assumption that the general business cycle is periodic YoY (i.e. Q2 2020 is roughly similar in growth rates to Q2 2019, barring anything massive like a pandemic haha lol haha).

Furthermore, I also think it's important to look at breakdowns of % of revenues by division, to see how much a company relies on any specific source.

---- | QTL Rev | QTL EBT | QTL % as non-GAAP Rev

FY13 | $7,554 | $6,590 | 69%

-------------------------------

FY14 | $7,569 | $6,590 | 65%

-------------------------------

FY15 | $7,947 | $6,882 | 74%

-------------------------------

FY16 | $7,664 | $6,528 | 80%

-------------------------------

FY17 | $6,445 | $5,175 | 69%

-------------------------------

FY18 | $5,163 | $3,525 | 64%

-------------------------------

FY19 | $4,591 | $2,954 | 58%

-------------------------------

FY20 | $5,028 | $3,442 | 50%

-------------------------------

FY21 | $6,320 | $4,627 | 34%

The pie was rather small back then, and the licensing slice was HUGE. Nowadays, the exact quantity of licensing revenue is actually just reverting to the mean, and the slice is actually decreasing. You can't go by the growth rates you're given there.

Links to FY13--FY19 here. BTW you can skip every other year, since FYXX tends to report FY(XX-1) as well.

it's only a ponzi scheme if there's no productivity behind the investment.

The stock market is composed of companies that are mostly productive - the unproductive ones go bankrupt. Bad luck for those holding those shares, but this doesn't make the total stock market a ponzi scheme.

people use "ponzi schemes" too often to incorrectly describe price increases.

Is the prompt about the app requesting your permission using the API designed for that?

And is the counter about the app making background data requests? Any network request can be used to infer permissions from your IP address?

That IP addresses can be mapped to physical locations is unfortunate but usually the precision is bad (eg enough to know what town you're in, but not where in the town)

Your friend accomplished more for his effort. He supported his family and himself during education. Of course it was much harder. So did my father, had no resources from his parents, he had to sacrifice his studies to support his sister and finished university years later.

I don't think money is the real barrier, it's attitude towards learning. Some families are more "educational" even if they are not rich. The best academics do not come from the richest families, I think there is even a negative correlation between wealth and academic achievements at the top.
