Societal contracts are just collective beliefs. When the number of people upholding a particular societal contract goes to zero it ceases to exist.
Just as any other belief, it requires believers to exist. Unlike, for example, the space rock that some group of sentient organisms decided to call Mars.

Perhaps its not about "revenue"...

Perhaps its more about more granular tracking of human attention and relationship matrices.

Which can then be further analyzed.

Imagine that they have the ability to see who is sharing what general sentiments - based on the fact that they share a media library of cultivated cultural memes and awareness which is the programming of thought as is the basis of the SpellBinding aspects of the Holly Wood tree (need to know you druidics there)

Perhaps, if you tighten down the net - you get to see where thought on topics coalesces and where relationships in sentiment reside.

Perhaps... we are, even unbeknownst to the coporations who provide access to such entanglemts, are being measured, catalougued and listed amongst those who share a certain predilection toward resistences...

Resistences are to a much more esoteric idea.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that Google (or some company in a similar position) had worked out the math and figured that the free meals more than paid for themselves in increased productivity (or at least seat time) because employees weren't getting up to go off-site to find lunch. As often as not they'd be quickly back at their desk coding away.
The Cloud Haskell project and language is likely the only one to get this right, thanks to strictly enforced purity. It's much simpler to understand, absence global mutable state, whether it's safe and possible to serialize a closure and run it somewhere else. (fork(2) being a closure by another name.)

In almost all other languages there's just no way to know if a closure is holding on to a file descriptor.

Critics may say the Haskell closures could contain `unsafePerformIO`, but as the saying goes: now you have two problems.

Please take a few moments to think about how this is not even remotely close to the 'entire Internet'. Let me point out that Common Crawl doesn't even contain Twitter. That's how incredibly incomplete it is! Google Books estimates there's something like >100m books in existence, of which GPT-3 has seen part (it didn't even do 1 epoch, and like 95% of it was purely English anyway, and it omits most of Github which is why Codex has to be so heavily trained, and...). There are millions of books and papers published every year, endless billions of social media posts and comments in thousands of languages not just English, and on and on and on. The world is a very big place. And this is just text. Text is great, don't get me wrong (it may even have some special properties compared to other modalities), but I'm baffled that in a period where things like Imagen are hitting the front page every few days that I need to point out that there are things other than text, like, y'know, images and video and audio.

Having been through this transition multiple times, I agree that it’s not about the sodas or the CFO. Why do you think they hire CFOs? To do things like this. To impose cost discipline. To be the person everyone is mad at instead of wondering why the company hired a CFO in the first place.

Same with “HR types ruining the culture” and “middle managers running amok.” Those people all get hired to transform the company, because leadership has decided some thing very fundamental: What got us here, won’t get us there.

PG once wrote that startups should frame their reason for existence as “trying to answer a question.”

Famous questions of the past: Will microcomputers sell? Will people pay a premium for bit-mapped graphics and a mouse? Can advertising sustain a search engine? Will the world use a social media web site built for college students?

But at some point, you know the answer is “yes,” you know that a sustainable business is possible, and you are no longer a startup. The difference between “answering a question” and “running a sustainable business”is vast.

Maybe killing free soda is not the best way to start the transition, but one way or another, all the people who want to explore the unknown, test their visions, and answer questions are going to leave, to be replaced by people who enjoy playing the world’s most cut-throat, high-stakes engine game, business.

If you truly enjoy what a startup is and how it works, you need to pack your parachute long before the free sodas go away. You need to pack your parachute when everyone realizes that you are no longer wondering if your company can become a real business, the only questions are how, when, and who.

On the other hand, maybe you want to build a real business once you know it can be done. Gates did. Jobs did. Long before them, Ken Olsen did at DEC. If so, accept that the sodas will eventually go and the controls will be imposed.

Audio calls mostly just feel like phone calls to me, except without having to hold a phone up to my ear. Even if I'm using Discord or Slack or some company-specific thing, audio calls trigger "muscle memory" that I've built up my whole life. Video calls are much more novel to me; I rarely ever did it before covid, and although it now is a bit more natural, it'll be a long time until it feels as "normal" as audio calls for me.

… yeah … there's really not.

I've both found such errors (there are a few that exist in Azure's stuff, for example. One I know exactly how to trigger: attempt to create a SP for an app in the same tenant as you, but while lacking permission to do so. The error is both grammatically malformed as well as illogical. Azure knows about it … but AFAICT, they don't have the internal processes to fix it.)

I've also caught a few of these before the train left the station as a gratuitous code reviewer. There are definitely some that have slipped by.

At a previous employ, my SO found one in ~10 minutes of playing with our product… and rightly gave me some light-hearted jabs about it.

I'd want to see the whole email. Whether it weighs more towards phish or error would depend on the surrounding context, and whether SPF/DKIM/DMARC pass. (The OP says the did (but it was a later comment), so…)

However, a friend who plays in a orchestra where they bring in high-end soloists told me that they don't really rehearse together more than an hour or two.

The movement of paddling has a natural rotation of the shaft when you raised the fixed hand for a stroke on the other side, it's quite straightforward to figure out sitting and mimicing the movement.

During this movement if the blade aren't feathered at all you have to compensate with some bending of the wrist. The amount of rotation of the shaft induced depends on how much you raise the hand/elbow, and so is fairly dependent on your style of stroke. This is the main way I think should be approached feathering: how much vertical do you intend to paddle? From there the angle should follow to optimize for the least amount of wrist twisting.

In general paddling very vertical will come with more angle in between the blades. I practice slalom and use to have 70-80 degrees crossing, but I tend to paddle less vertically now (aging? Lack of training?) and I'm down to 60 degrees comfortably now.

With CVEs for ham radio, clearly the next step is to add ATT&CK tactics and techniques. If you compromise a PC that's connected to a ham radio, you might be able to transmit maliciously, or interfere with the radio owner's ability to transmit or receive. But it turns out that ham radio isn't only about communicating with other ham radio people - it's also about using PKI to store details of who you communicated with: https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/developer-pki/

Private key disclosure seems catastrophic because of their scorched-earth security policy https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/certificatesecurity/ where the server admins plan to invalidate all signed data, even if the same data had been sitting on the central server for years before the compromise happened. Yet, the docs don't recommend a password for the private key except on "shared or public computers." The adversary just looks for -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- in a text file in a keys directory (the filename is the call letters).

In other words, although executing cmd.exe is a wonderful accomplishment, there's also the possibility of 1. wait for the PC and radio to be idle, 2. tune the radio to a clear frequency, 3. open the victim's private key file, 4. transmit the private key with Morse code.

Fairly easy answer to this. If I took a orange tree and only fed it water and air. Would it produce oranges with vitamin c? The answer. No. Because the plant requires far more than just water and air in order to run all the other systems within itself to make that vitamin c production happen. If you take away certain elements in your soil, your going to affect aspects of that plants health that in turn affect its production capacity. If you provide most nutrients for a plant sure it will produce fruit. Will that fruit be as good as fruit from a plant with all the nutrients? No, no it will not.

Just a quick point of correction, not to derail the conversation, but "automatic" weapons have been heavily restricted since 1934. Buying one requires a tax stamp, background check (even if private sale), notifying the ATF of where the weapon is at all times, and giving the ATF the right to search the premises of the firearms at any time without need for a warrant or reasonable suspicion.

As far as I can find data for, legally-licensed automatic weapons have only been used in 2 homicides since 1934 (both by police officers, weirdly) and a single suicide.

To address your data directly, it has some issues.

The first is that there was no "large increase in gun deaths". The lowest gun deaths during the 1994-2004 period was 5.9/100k, and the highest it's been since 2004 is 6.2/100k. About a 5% increase. 2001 was actually the highest since 1994, at 7.1/100k. That's per CDC data. The incidence of mass shootings is what they're talking about, not gun violence overall.

The second is that we're working with small numbers here. Homicides with a rifle are exceedingly uncommon; per FBI data, it's about 300/year. Your link is specifically discussing mass shootings, which are rarer yet. For the 3 periods, they list 19 events, 12 events, and 34 events, each spread across a decade. Columbine happened in the middle of that period.

The third is that the correlation isn't as tight as you might presume. Have a gander at https://www.statista.com/statistics/811487/number-of-mass-sh... Unless someone pointed it out, it would be hard to guess where the assault weapons ban even is in time. The numbers aren't really notably different until 2001. Mass shootings aren't even noticeably high until 2007 when we hit the recession, which is a massive confounding factor.

The fourth is that if assault weapons are to blame, you would expect numbers to roughly match before and after. They don't. 2005-2006 follow roughly the same trend as before. It's not until 2007 when they go up (again, recession), and 2012 before it gets really crazy. 2012 is coincidentally when US median wealth hit it's lowest after the recession, and hasn't really recovered since then. California has more mass shootings per year now than they did before 2016 when they passed their high capacity magazine ban. I don't think it's causal, just of note.

There are just so many other factors that play into this. Increased media attention on mass shootings, niche online communities forming, increased political polarization, increased wealth inequality, zero tolerance school policies, etc.

I also find it a bad thing to focus on. Every death is a tragedy, but rifles are low on the chart of causes. Homicides by rifles are roughly equal to deaths by ladder. About 2 times as many people are beat to death with hands/feet. About 5 times as many people are stabbed to death. About 10 times as many people die from foodborne illness. About 20 times as many people die of anemia.

It just doesn't make sense. Even if you want to focus on guns, why rifles? Handguns are used to kill roughly 50 times as many people.

So the next stages here are clearly to add functional costs (time, space, equipment) to the reactions and obtain a similar database of supply chain costs and legal hassle for obtaining reactants at various volumes then you can objectively predict with high confidence interval projected market returns on various syntheses. Thus, should a given reactant become expensive or unavailable this would immediately result in a plethora of novel alternate paths.

Of course, our entire global economic system is heavily weighted against doing something so useful in public, for the public good...
I work at a VOIP services provider and we operate multiple brands which are companies we’ve acquired over several years. One thing that has rang true of every company we’ve acquired is that there is typically barely even a way to run one piece locally, let alone the whole thing.

Some of these when I took over there wasn’t even version control, and they were being developed by FTPing files to production server or even editing them live with vim or something. Certainly no reproducible containerization or even VMs to speak of.

I agree completely with you about having a solid development environment. I’ve spent the better part of a year creating such a thing for some of the brands, and it has increased our time to ship features and fixes probably ten fold.
nothing else actively promotes and engages with minorities as the academia does. If these people can't make it in that environment, i doubt they can make it in open competition. On of the 'good' things of academia being turned to a paperpushing administration exercise is that it's easy (albeit boring) to do that kind of job at any level.
As I know, AD used laser cutter on every chip to achieve good analog precision, but this is impossible for really big series, like commodity CPUs or DRAM/FLASH.

When the cost of abuse lowers, so must the cost of defense. So of course cost-cutting has to happen. Otherwise it's going to be a financial DoS.

All that is though only if you want services to have free tiers. If you're willing to pay for everything then sure, it becomes easier. I'm actually quite certain one will encounter much less "AI" when stuff is actually being paid for.
Never mind startups, I once had a client who was in the printing business, a numbers-driven blue-collar culture at the time.

> It’s fundamentally what a market is?

No, it's not.

Fundamentally a market is the aggregate of individual actions to exchange goods at values that seem to make sense based on conditions at the moment of exchange.

What you described is approximately a common aspirational view of what hypothetical ideal markets would achieve, not fundamentally “what a market is”.

> It’s like me saying a sorting algorithm is supposed to produce a sorted set, and you saying ‘“Supposed” by whom?’

If a “sorted set” was not a well-defined, or even practically operationalizable concept, but merely a thing about which people had conflicting intuitions, and instead of an abstract ideal an “algorithm” was a class of real things that exist in the physical universe, and the ones that you named did not, in fact, produce anything that met most intuitions of what the might fit the ill-defined concept of a “sorted set”, your analogy would be spot on.

To be fair, though E2EE is perfect for a general purpose messenger, I don't think it's necessary per se. Group chats that would normally appear on IRC don't have a need for E2EE (and verifying everyone in a public room is also extremely impractical!) which seems like a perfect use case for this integration.
