Or assets, or equipment or whatever. You need quite a bit of money to put into it that you won't necessarily get back if it fails.

The point is, whether it's 25k or 12.5k, and whether it's reserves or founding capital, share capital, equipments, assets, savings or whatever else, or whether it's 1 EUR as in the case of a UG but you have to save 25% of profits until you hit 25k - it's all still a significant barrier to forming an LLC that other countries have proven is unnecessary. That, along with paperwork, high costs, notary requirements, slow timescales and a time consuming dissolution process.

There are a bunch of other countries within the EU that make the process much quicker, simpler and cheaper, so it's hard to see what reason one would have to bother with the German system.
It's not end-to-end encrypted. Of course the communication between the client app and the server is encrypted using TLS.

But this allows Telegram itself to see the content of the conversation when it arrives on their servers. This has piked the interest of LEA, who want continuous, real-time access to that information.

That is a penalty due to licensing [0], not thermal throttling. As I wrote elsewhere, I’ve seen my clockspeed get cut in half across all cores on a physical die when running AVX-heavy operations for a sustained period of time, due to thermal throttling.

Fun fact, Tulip mania is mostly a myth.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/there-never-was-real-...

> So if tulipmania wasn’t actually a calamity, why was it made out to be one? We have tetchy Christian moralists to blame for that. With great wealth comes great social anxiety, or as historian Simon Schama writes in The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden Age, “The prodigious quality of their success went to their heads, but it also made them a bit queasy.” All the outlandish stories of economic ruin, of an innocent sailor thrown in prison for eating a tulip bulb, of chimney sweeps wading into the market in hopes of striking it rich—those come from propaganda pamphlets published by Dutch Calvinists worried that the tulip-propelled consumerism boom would lead to societal decay. Their insistence that such great wealth was ungodly has even stayed with us to this day.
> If I'm a decent Human being I'd rather no company helps criminals do crime stuff.

Does that include gas stations, supermarkets, utility companies, sporting goods stores, book stores, clothing stores? Each sells things that are used to aid in crimes. That doesn’t mean the government should spy on everybody who visits them

FBI tried to ambush a whistleblower. You can say that whistleblowing is a crime, but what if the whistleblower has evidence of even greater crimes being committed? That makes the ambush a cover-up.
Back when Apple Music was just introduced, I enabled the free trial on my MacBook where I already had a curated iTunes library over the years.
Apple Music was so destructive that it went and started irreversibly not only reorganising my local library but also deleting my local songs because it had the same song in the cloud… No thank you.

It was so destructive that my only option was to disable Apple Music, completely remove my whole iTunes music/data folder and restore everything from backup.

I also recently realised that the Mac OS upgrade broke my iTunes playlists again, I’m not sure if it was during move to Bug Sur or earlier. I have a whole folder of music and an iTunes db file, anyone how Im supposed to import that into Music considering that iTunes is dead?
Sounds like we need a blockchain for job offers.
A more precise model still might be to try to factor in the expected loss in healthy years for the donor, and the average lifespan gain of a kidney recipient.

If you pull a child out of the way of a speeding truck, you've saved their life without losing any quality of life for yourself or for them. That's a "perfect" life save. Organ transplant is more subtle.

If you already plan to donate your kidneys at death, donating one of them when younger seems less obviously good.
It'd seem worthwhile to build a more detailed model before going through with it.
Does anyone know if it supports a work flow which involves setting a style and then drawing lines, shapes etc with that style, instead of drawing a shape and then tweaking its style as is normally done in Inkscape?
Yes. In fact, it won’t let you enable your “personalized” spam filter until it’s learned at least 200 messages.
The idea that because the courts will rubber stamp a warrant is not a valid rebuttal to unchecked power

Just like the saying that a "federal prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich" like wise the FBI could get a warrant for anything they desire at any time

The warrant requirement is a not a check on power, and has not been for decades, the courts and our legal system is no longer a protector of rights, or justice and has not been for a long long long time.

Inertialization Transition Cost
Yep, that’s totally true. Profiling & debugging tools are designed for sampling the behavior and performance, and not primarily for understanding architecture. Still, they’re great for inspecting call stacks, which can be pretty damn helpful for certain parts of understanding the code.

IMO there’s no real substitute for getting the design explained by the people who designed it. (Of course this isn’t always possible, but when it is, take advantage.) Automated tools can never prioritize the explanation nor summarize what parts are critical or tricky vs what parts are incidental or trivial, and they can’t tell you which parts should be redesigned because they were slapdash vs which parts look ugly to a newbie but have a long list of hard to see requirements, and touching things should be done with extreme care. Good diagrams are very helpful, but best used as a supplement to in-person stories, in my opinion.
> I'd be furious at the inequality of input and output

Stranger here. Just want to suggest that getting furious over things outside of your control, or the world not being as you would like it to be, is optional.

If you don't like being enraged, you can quit that pattern with some practice in learning to notice your emotions as they come and go, and then learning to interrupt the chain of events that leads to the state of being furious and brooding.
If you use https://pernos.co/ then you don't need any of this, but I have a set of only slightly buggy gdbinit scripts that extend the rr debugging experience at <https://github.com/hotsphink/sfink-tools>. The main things it adds are:

1. a `log` command that just records whatever you give it into a plaintext file, together with its "point in time" according to rr. This is useful because when using rr, you tend to move forward and backward in time a lot, and it's hard to keep track of the actual sequence of events and where you are within them. It also creates a checkpoint so you can return to any one of your log points. It also has some niceties like replacing any expression enclosed in curly brackets with the results of executing the gdb expression given, so you can do things like

log starting execution of Init() with v={v}. About to crash.

2. a `label` command that lets you assign names to random hex values. Then in the output of `p expr` or the above `log` with no arguments, which displays the full set of log messages you've recorded, it will replace known hex values with their labels. This is so much nicer than memorizing numeric values and matching them up.

(rr) p obj
$1 = (JSObject*) 0x7f606892a200
(rr) label OUTER_OBJ=obj
(rr) p $OUTER_OBJ
(JSObject*) $OUTER_OBJ
(rr) log
701/31299795 [c4] starting processing with obj=(JSObject*) $OUTER_OBJ
983/31299 [c2] starting processing with obj=(JSObject*) 0x7f6068a2a200
2081/7382911 [c3] traversing to (JSObject*) 0x7f6069c2a7e8
3316/199 [c1] crashing while accessing field of object (JSObject*) $OUTER_OBJ

The [c2] markers are the automatically-created checkpoints, numbered in order that you made those log entries in the debugger. It reorders the log messages to show them in execution order rather than debugging order. Pernosco has a very similar feature called the Notebook (where you only have to click on a log entry to view the state at that point in time.)

The scripts are also intended for sharing log files and labels between multiple concurrent replays of the same execution, which I find useful to have separate windows each maintaining a different context (point in time, and portion of the execution that I'm examining.) That tends to be the buggier part of the scripts, though. ;-)

If you're working with C or C++ (or Rust? haven't tried it), rr really is a superpower. I rarely bother using straight gdb anymore. It feels crippled.
For a concrete example, I've been developing a tool (https://github.com/abathur/resholve) that can ~build/link Bash/Shell scripts--i.e., rewrite them with external executables converted to absolute paths. (This helps ensure dependencies are known, declared, present, and don't have to be on the global PATH for the script to execute cleanly.)

There's a devilish sub-problem, which is that any given executable can potentially exec arbitrary arguments. For now I handle this with a very crude automated binary/executable analysis that needs to be augmented by human source analysis. Deep multi-language source analysis wouldn't be very scalable, but I suspect fairly-standardized structural annotations could improve the results in a scalable way.

I have to imagine there are other applications of the same information.
Kurds are a minority in syria, and so are the russians in ukraine, and both are happy for being protected by a larger force.

But native syrians have had their country basically destroyed by nato (too). So did afghanis, etc., and they're not happy for being occupied (as we saw after the pullout from afghanistan).

Considering turkey is a part of nato, it's interesting that we let them attack the kurds without any sanctions... maybe we have to wait until they annex a part of syria to make it "bad".... but in reality, noone will care.

> it's the avx we can reliably use in open source

I'm not sure what you mean by that. You can't assume the presence of AVX or AVX2 without explicitly checking for it, because Intel was still disabling those features on new low-end Pentium and Celeron parts at least a recently as Comet Lake (2020). Sure, AVX2 support is much more widespread than AVX512 support, but that has nothing to do with open-source and it's a bit strange to describe that in terms of reliability.
What if it acts normal for a vast majority of users, but a user which is secretly flagged on Facebook's back end will secretly report plaintext? Or a certain list of conditions will trigger more snooping? Network traffic works for proving that the app, right now, in this exact circumstance and time and date and location etc, probably isn't snooping on me. There's lots of sneaky ways to exfiltrate data that you wouldn't notice. Imagine encoding data through the timing of requests made or the exact ordering of simultaneous requests.
The laws of physics would dictate that this energy would come from somewhere. If enough power is generated, it will significantly alter the ocean flows dynamics. Deep ocean flow currents can very much affect the climate. Did anybody researched that this would be Ok?
In Europe, we have layoff terms measured in months. Revenge action is nevertheless very rare.

If your personel has an exit period of a few months, they can take their time to process what happened, grieve, and find a new job, without losing the house or healthcare. There simply isn't that much of a reason for revenge.

I’m also a very happy user (and a Spotify expat). Apple Music already has about half of Spotify’s market share and its growth is accelerating. I feel like this is an “Apple Maps”-type situation, where it’s slagged on for years while Apple continues to quietly improve it.

>But the real problem is bailouts and cheap loans for the rich to cruise through the downturn while the ordinary person will likely lose their job and healthcare.

While I agree with the idea that government shouldn't give bailouts, I don't see how obtaining cheap loans when one has sufficient collateral to wager is a problem. Banks tried subprime lending before and the result was a global recession and a tighter grip on the financial industry.
I love the idea of [U]BI simply because it exposes the emotional core of how fundamentally broken the philosophy of those who support it is.

It doesn't work. It can't work. Utopian ideals always end the same way: imposed only through tyranny.

Every study I've read by proponents starts from a view that it will work or must have a manner of working that is yet to be discovered because it meets the fundamental criteria of all their political beliefs; namely that all people are victims being oppressed by economic systems. Which is of course not true.

As with almost all "social science" studies, these are easily designed to prove whatever the author needs to.
I honestly don't get the point of Coinbase. Isn't it a centralized system to manage what is supposed to be decentralized and that kinda defeats the purpose? I may be dumb.
This statement seems to be in conflict with everything I've read about ranked choice voting. If I can put my preferred independent candidate as rank 1 and a safe choice at rank 2 then this is objectively better than just voting for the safe choice out of fear of stealing votes away and giving it to the opposition.

What systems would you prefer?
I don't know if I would agree that the final scene is more readable - especially the treasure chest. I can't deny it looks much nicer though! I spent a lot of time tweaking the sprites in my game for readability. I touch on it here [1] but maybe I should do a full tutorial with intermediate steps.

Very broad and difficult problem. Entire teams at investment banks dedicate themselves to this. Usually islands are involved. Without more information, I would suggest centralizing IP and control into one entity in a jurisdiction you feel comfortable with, which then licenses or has contracts with various entities and people around the world.
It's trivially easy to encrypt the traffic and then send a copy of the private key to Facebook's servers. You would not be able to decrypt it, but they would.
In datacenter blade servers (i.e. on a cloud VM), I’ve noticed up to 50% downclocking due to thermal throttling when running sustained frequent AVX operations.

I’m sure an exotic watercooled setup will fare much better, but those aren’t generally what we run in production.
There's a previous post/survey about where HN readers are located. A large amount are in California (me included). The Bay Area in particular does pay > $100k for most tech jobs. That said, taxes are so high and real estate here is so expensive that it's really hard to get a place you own.

Relativistic effects are measurable with accurate enough clocks in earth satellites (or even just taking a clock to a mountain) and correction is necessary in systems with finicky time requirements like GPS.

Incidentally, the relative speed you can napkin math estimate - an object in orbit flying that close to the planet is going to have escape-velocity-ish speed. It's around 60km/sec for Jupiter.

I completely agree. GUI debugging is the bare minimum and yet most people don't even do that.

In my experience it mostly happens when people that use very basic dev tools (e.g. Vim and GDB) set up a project. They don't use a proper debuggers so they don't take the effort to make it easy to use them, and it's often very difficult to retrofit later.
It's about 0.01% the speed of light, which is definitely fast enough to have a measurable impact. Even ISS astronauts experience a tiny amount of time dilation (on a millisecond level) and they move at much slower speeds.
"No one could have predicted a thing that happens regularly in the current economic system"!
At this very moment there are corporations worth trillions of dollars. More money than the worth of many countries combined. The people in charge of these companies command so much capital, they can more or less run the world if they so wish. All they need to do is set policies on loans and the entire world will literally change itself to conform.

Corporations are no stranger to violence. They're no stranger to organized crime dealings and tight relationships with governments. Coca-Cola for example has straight up assassinated union leaders.

Yes, we also need multi-member, proportional legislative districts. https://www.fairvote.org/prcv.

Single member districts are a disgusting thing for a society that claims to be a representative democracy. As a very simple example, rural liberals and urban conservatives effectively never get represented in our government, and that's still within the context of the false dichotomy of left/right.

But single winner ranked choice voting is still important for elected positions that necessarily must be one person, like executive seats.
There is usually no notice period (or mandated severance in the US).

Why compete on merit when you have an insurmountable marketing/advertising advantage?

A feature of the modern smartphone ownership experience is being bombarded with ads for clones of existing businesses, the best of which are almost as good as those pre-existing offerings.

The Music, TV, News, and Books icons on the home screen are really just ads. Each of these "apps" contains a prominent ad, followed by a torrent of push notification ads.

In a way, the home screen is a re-imagining of AOL from the 90s: a crippled proprietary take on the web, spoon-fed to a captive audience, lacking the egalitarianism that allows companies like Spotify and Netflix to thrive.
Until the Big Four renegotiate the agreement, yes.
That's not the case for 99% of romania.
> Why protect this asshole?

Because future sources need to trust you. Protecting sources needs to be absolute, or some of them will wonder what it takes to constitute “betrayal” in the future.

Not betraying a source that has wronged you is fantastic signalling to future sources.
Same for me. Not sure yet where though. On my own I'd be free to chose anywhere but I've been playing around with the idea of doing it together with my cousin who is interested in this as well. When we were kids we would often times help our grandpa in his garden who was growing all kinds of vegetables and fruits there. I want to become like my grandpa and see my grandchildren playing on my land.
