> I reckon most of providers don't seem to like that.

I have yet to hear any of these anti-server clauses actually be enforced. It seems like the providers that have these mostly keep them "just in case" rather than actively using them, especially since cloud storage and P2P puts similar (if not more) strain on your upload bandwidth and usually maxes it out.
As a deal hunter, I also think of "reminder you got a good deal per use". Nice dopamine hit using an item and being reminded "what a steal". I'm a cheap date.
Yep! There's no room for smoke and mirrors. Everyone understands what the lottery is, whereas some random private startup could be totally legit or could be a total scam.
Seems like an Ethics 101 course, I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy. I am intimately familiar with arguments on both sides, and I think you should read some John Stuart Mill, specifically his seminal On Liberty[1] (maybe not as engaging as a YouTube video course, though).

Free speech absolutism is a pretty hardline position, but I think it's probably correct.

I often consider it as cost per hour tempered by some notion of utility. Some things become trivial costs when considered like this.

A computer, per hour of utility, becomes fractions of cents, coupled with the notion that it is practically indispensable to me then it is a no brainer.

My car on the other hand is incredibly expensive per hour, and with increasing public transit and cycling near me, its utility is also in question.
When you buy a home, even if you waive all contingencies, including a home inspection, if the seller fails to disclose material problems with the house, the sellers will be liable. This liability extends for years past the close of sale.

You have proven your own ignorance with your example!

The sellers are liable for some things, in some states, because there are laws that say they are liable for some things.

No such laws generally apply to corporate acquisition agreements.
I'm pretty sure in that scenario the response would have been an "acknowledged unknown comms, thank you and leave the channel"

After multiple "gtfo" this isn't the scenario...
I have heard the advice to ‘buy twice’. The first time you buy a tool (e.g. boots), you’re really just trying it out, so buy a reasonably priced type. If you end up using the tool so often that you want a better one, then go ahead and buy the best type you can afford.
This is a good point raised also by Deming early on in one of his books. The cost of any investment is not just the money spent, but also the risk-free rate compounded on that money over the time the investment is in use.

In periods when the risk-free rate is 2 %, that is what any investment costs you in addition to the principal, as Deming put it poetically, "every day, rain or shine, even on Sundays."

> I don't understand how there can be such a push for a vote of no-confidence in three C-level people with no mention of the CEO that ostensibly chose, managed, and retained them.

The CEO and his C-suite all have agency.

If one member of the C-suite misbehaves professionally, you are suggesting that the one who hired/managed him/her should be punished alongside the errant person by virtue of association, rather than by establishing concrete evidence that they both acted in concert?
Ah yes, the “heads I win, tails you lose” gambit, thank you for your very useful contributions.

Do carefully avoid looking at french electricity prices and compare them to germany’s too.
> in this case that means accidents and people dying.

It is an absolutely ridiculous view. I really don’t want a shitty company be able to freely test on the streets their shitty technology that can cause the death of innocents. Are you seriously saying that they are free to increase their profits over the lives of people? On what basis is that ethical or moral? Especially when we talk about a company that jumped into an arguably technically inferior solution by having an incentive to develop their “self-driving” based on visual input only. Their competitors at least take it seriously enough and realize that just because humans can manage with a vision-only system (though a goddamn moving one, not static), lidar and other sensors are required on cars, because ML is nowhere near the capacity of even a worm’s brain, let alone what a human has.
It can easily be both!

> The monument was donated to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1887.

According to https://www.atticinscriptions.com/inscription/AIUK14/1

> This small stele or plaque was donated to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1887 or 1888 by Alexander Wood Inglis. There is currently no information on how he acquired it.

I assume he (or the previous owner) acquired the stele by the same means the marbles of the Parthenon were acquired.
> Can you gave examples of PoW using energy that would be wasted otherwise and is not something like reactivation of shut down fossil fuel power plants?

Bitcoin mining helps reduce natural gas flaring. Energy that would otherwise be wasted.[1]

Your next rebuttal will be that this simply incentivizes fossil fuels to be used for longer than would have been the case without Bitcoin mining.

My answer to that will be that fossil fuels will be with us for a long time still, flaring is currently happening whether you like it or not, and this is a way to reduce the environmental cost of flaring.

This is why I think GTD is still the best out there. If you go deep into it, you will get it how GTD is not really about gettings things done, but living your life to the max (whatever that means to you).
A couple of gotchas that caught me: doesn't work with flat shaded objects, so no crisp gemstone caustics, objects need to have a decent amount of geometry - three levels of subdiv did the trick for me.
As someone who worked with Twitter’s APIs a lot, and the metric shitton of metadata that is sent with every tweet, him thinking it’s 100 bytes is hilarious. I know Twitter typically does assessments of a client’s infrastructure before providing them access to the Firehose, to ensure they are actually able to keep up with the stream. It’s that much data.

He’ll likely have to sample the data anyway before he can do any meaningful analysis, so the whole exercise is pointless.
I’ve become convinced that hiring more people is generally a warning sign. A team of between a few and about twenty people seems to produce all the good stuff. Anything beyond that, your value per employee drops drastically, and your cost per employee goes up as you need to offer higher and higher salaries to stay in competition. A company going on a hiring spree is now a negative indicator for me. I think FB, Goog, etc. could lay off thousands with no adverse effects and in fact an increase in velocity, quality, and quantity of new features/products. Sometimes one person can be much more productive than a whole team. This is obviously unscientific, just a feeling I’m getting lately.
I am a Chinese-American, born and lived in California my entire life. The past few years has seen an explosion in racism and Sinophobia against Asians, against Chinese people in particular. The hate has motivated far more people to sympathize with the CCP than they could dream of. So I can understand the Chinese students actions here.

Also, despite what they spoonfeed you on American media, the Chinese government is not committing genocide in Xinjiang - they are not killing people in mass. The amount of misinformation that's being spread is amazing, and scary, as it this is literally the same tactic used when they fabricated justification for war against Iraq with WMDs. The evidence we have is the Uyghurs (who are deemed a national security threat in China) are indeed put into internment camps - but this is more similar to Japanese internment camps US did in WW2 rather than genocide.

I believe the West is threatened by China's progress, and the fact that China is an Asian nation. Westerners cannot fathom that Asian faces can lead the world. As a corrollary of this, China has done more to dethrone white supremacy than Black Lives Matter could ever have done.

Telling X and doing !X is not a recent invention.
NFT is quite a novel and interesting application on its own. For an application of NFT, see Tezos Domains and ENS (Ethereum).

Aside from NFT, stablecoins like USDC and DAI are also quite novel and interesting applications.

These applications are providing value and utility to those using them, and could potentially improve other parts of the world’s payment systems by providing a decentralized option alongside centralized processors.

Crypto will be eternally new, because we will keep finding new ways to build on top of it. A few years ago zkSNARKs we’re not feasible on a blockchain. Now they are becoming widespread and being put into use. A few years in the future, we will likely have new cryptographic primitives that will provide new applications and areas to build and develop.
If you observe a black box producing a sequence N items, you can’t know whether it will, after that, repeat the same sequence at infinitum (it might just contain a circular tape of N items, for example), or keep producing a single identical item, or keep producing only two different items, etc.
Do not use food as a reward, it will not work because the animal will just use the buttons to dispense food, not to communicate. Social communication is rewarding and reinforcing in itself.
The missing piece crypto lacks is an opt-in decentralized justice system for resolving disputes.

He could have done this with any number of pretenses that didn't require signing a binding legal agreement to buy Twitter.

Generally, this is far too complicated and involved to be any kind of effective scheme. He has professional managers and lawyers who could have easily come up with dozens of ways to sell tsla stock without this public legal morass.

The situation most likely is as it seems: He wanted to buy twitter for personal reasons and is in the process of doing so.
On what basis can a private company decide what is and isn’t allowable on public roads? Also, there is no human that can engage with a suddenly dangerous situation on a split second basis. People suck at continuous monitoring tasks, if you are driving yourself you are actually engaged.

I know what you are trying to say here, but it is quite clear in that quite a few HN commentators strongly, and bizarrely, disagree.
It's quite funny how you and some others here are saying python got into it's place by pure luck and being installed by default on linux systems.

Then you turn around and mention Ruby. I recall that there was a lot of hype around it for quite a while, largely due to Ruby on Rails (certainly outhyping Python), and it's popularity in terms of usage was very similar to Python. However, that did not last, so why is that? Are you saying Python "hyping" and default installation only happened after ~2011 (where Ruby really started to decline compared to Python)?

I would argue the success of Python is largely due to people building some packages like numpy and scipy in Python, because they sort it was the best tool for the job. Then came the ML wave and Python due to that ecosystem was ideally placed as a language that was easy to use for ML researchers. That you mention C++ even in that comparison shows that you do not understand why people use Python. I can tell you if I had to get my graduate students to use C++ for their analysis and lab automation tasks, we'd still be graphing by hand.
From what I've heard- 2x4 is actually closer to 1.5x3.5" /s
> I'm not saying you can't do the math, but as I see it, every factor adds in such a huge margin of error into both the numerator and the denominator that the result of the computation easily becomes pretty useless.

You just described TCO, unpredictability in TCO, capital intensivity and several kinds of risk. All super useful heuristics to guide a decison. Just don't try to squeeze them into one filter...

Take us deciding on buying a car versus car sharing. We wanted low TCO, low cash flow risk, and low environmental impact. The signal from the low TCO filter was slightly ambiguous, but both other filters were super clear. Car sharing it was.
I'm glad to hear that, but…

1. Do you have a reference?

2. How does Pimeyes assign scraped photos to people, if it doesn't use social media? (Or doesn't it even try to provide a name?)
Did you try Mailspring? Positively surprised me. But Kmail still is my preferred mua.
Like others already said, this is just another variant of the commonly used 360 degrees feedback system.
I don't think that system is bad in itself, I've been in companies where it worked very well. I've also seen a company where it was being used by some to rat on colleagues, but in that company there were lots of things wrong already and the reviews just made it worse.
So I guess there were many underlying problems in Coinbase already.
Just pitching up will have you climb, but at the expense of losing velocity right?
There can be multiple VISA protocols running in L2 on top of a permissionless DLT like ethereum. Users can exit one protocol and enter another, like zkSync or Optimism which are not at all like VISA. Or they can use a not-so-centralized L1 protocol like DAI. Or they can just use the base tokens on L1 at the expense of volatility and fees.

People with less options leave all the time too, you just don't hear about because it blends in with the poor.

There's a lack of self awareness in the tech ceos in this article, they blame employees for leaving, so they leave too. Who's leading who here?

The heirarchy doesn't have as much influence as it used to, being relatable is absolutely key no matter your position.
That it cost more than Avatar (released around the same time) in both actual and adjusted costs is staggering .
That was the pretext for the anecdote. It was mentioned briefly and then forgotten.
> There was a time in my life when I was "unbanked" and Bitcoin was the only way I could transact online.

This really needs said louder. Writing off the entirety of cryptocurrency as "useless" betrays either stunning ignorance or immense privilege (or possibly even both). Even in the "developed" world (let alone "developing") there are countless people whom the legacy financial system does not serve yet is happy to exploit; cryptocurrency ain't some silver bullet, but it does address quite a few of the legacy system's injustices.
Isn't this exactly what was made fun of in the show Pied Piper? Piper score or metrics if I recall correctly.
Thanks for pushing the state of the art on this. Personally I'm not a fan of git signatures either because they seem to pair something supposed to be permanent (a commit) to something supposed to be ephemeral (a signing key). (Distributed) ledger technology can absolutely improve the status quo here.
I have a similar one and it has been rejected many times. I still write to the company but nobody gives a shit. I also tried on twitter.

Surprisingly people are fine with it, I think that this is thanks to social media handlers such as @wazoo - people group all these together as "email and such"
The command line is half the problem. The solution should not require command line chops. Should just be a GUI.
I use async extensively in my embedded application. The design is a joy to extend and maintain.
I also found working in smaller companies more effective (worked in 20 people, 500 people and 30.000 people companies).

DHH recently said at a conference on how people always tell him they were happy when the company was small, and asked "Why scale then?" (the panel agreed that some things, like building a commercial airliner might take large teams).

This has been to my heart for years https://www.radicalsimpli.city/

Looking at HN, enjoying the single founder SaaS threads, this is the future for a lot of business models.
Try working with metal - lot of tool are needed, and you always need one more. All of my wood working tool together cost the same as ONE tool for metal working.
So the end product may cost a bit on the material side, but cost way more with tooling factored in. And most of the tools I have are 30 to 50 years old :D
Companies should only hire entrepreneurs and engineers who has proven track record as builders as execs. Hiring people from business schools and non engineers as execs is the stupidest thing you can do for long term sucess of the company.

Hire builders. Not resume builders.
The Longevity Project: Decades of Data Reveal Paths to Long Life (2011)
His lawyers came up with a good plan. The contract says twitter must reasonably cooperate by providing data that Musk requests. All he has to do is keep requesting data until they say no, then twitter is in violation. The % of bots doesn't matter, doesn't have to be Materially Adverse. Just need to show that twitter isn't cooperating with reasonable requests.

If this becomes the case, Musk can use that as leverage to threaten to litigate if twitter doesn't accept a lower offer price.
Optionality Cost
But that is a decade old technology available in even low-end cars, and is not responsible for car crashes because it was never marketed as anything more.

Tesla maliciously advertises as much much more than adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc, which is disgusting on their part.
Win 10 is slower because just like Android, it phones home. And the "compositor" is compositing. But that is what you get when you have to change the whole screen surface ( terminal screen) because the cursor ( one character) blinked.
ZK Rollups effectively solve this problem by moving computation and data storage off chain without sacrificing security. These protocols include on-chain exit mechanisms so that tokens are never at risk of being taken by the sequencer.
Yeah lots of vc backed startups were overvalued so exceptional risk was needed to be taken to match such expectations. It’s easy to blame people at the top but they’re not the ones evaluating the company and they can’t control: the fed, the war on Ukraine, oil prices

While it looks like coinbase had a toxic work culture I have no sympathy for those “mercenaries” joining companies on exceptionally great times then complain when things get back to reality

> You can just order a taxi?

A trip to my parents and back is ~$180 by Uber - I go more than once a week so that would be way more than $10k per year.

And an Uber doesn’t come with a tow ball: I often use a trailer out there or back (I mentioned firewood, but also dump runs and moving stuff from/to storage).

The Uber has a variable wait-time, and is not useful if I have to go anywhere urgently, and an Uber often values my wasted time at $0. Note when I live in large cities I do choose to use either Uber or car, depending on costs versus gains.

An Uber is no use to take my disabled Mum anywhere.

I think it is condescending to suggest whacky alternatives to most people (public transport, taxis, bikes, etcetera). Most people have weighed up the alternatives and made an expensive choice because of the value provided. The majority of people are not wasting money and buying status symbols.

> Nevermind considering public transportation.

Bloody hell, that is a moronically inane comment. I can catch a bus to my parents. There is one bus a day - it arrives there in the evening at 5:30PM, at it leaves from my parents at 7:30AM, and there is a nice long walk at the end, which is fun in a storm. Oh, the bus only runs on weekdays, not the weekends. I don’t get to choose where my parents live. Public transport is never urgent, good luck if my parents need my help suddenly. I can’t transport anything I can’t carry, and it wastes hours of time each way (indirect, slow, annoying).

Public transport has its uses (I do use Christchurch buses), but it simply doesn’t support many uses (a load of firewood), and it takes a lot of time, plus extra risks (the bus at my parents didn’t turn up the other day - I don’t know why).

Did I mention a car has plenty of other uses? My parents are just one of many similarly valuable uses. I do own a very cheap small-engine second-hand car, not a status symbol. Did I mention a car is available at night, when public transport has stopped running?

Edit: PS: this weekend there are 100km/h winds, and driving cold rain. Walking and waiting at busstops can be very very unpleasant in many cities. Perhaps you have access to a metro, but most people don’t.

Edit 2: I hope you are not an engineer. I feel that in my comment that you answered, I said why I use a laptop with Illustrator, and you replied telling me I could use an etch-a-sketch and my mobile phone camera.
That makes no sense - he predicted the stock market crash - and then started twitter buyout at pre-crash prices ?
With tools you can go both ways. Good tools give you better results, last longer and feel better to use. On the other hand they often cost 4x what a cheap tool would cost that you wouldn't wear out as a DIY'er.
A no name hammerdrill is €50 and a boschhammer €200. Most homeowners won't wear out the no name drill drilling a few dozens holes in concrete. If you do wear it out your final costs is only 25% higher than if you went for the pro tool to start.
Your entire premise is flawed. There are more than two explanations for changes in votes by demographic. Your biggest mistake is assuming that race itself is a predictor of political affiliation.

In a world with established voter suppression efforts and a lack of evidence for voter fraud I see no reason to enact Voter ID. There’s no clear benefit and obvious downsides.
Tesla is the only one maliciously advertising their tech as something else than what it is. The general public doesn’t understand that the tech is largely the same as in a low-end car.

OneTrust lays off 25% Workforce
I am assuming/suggesting that if NOT one, not even two, but three core members of the C-suite fail to do their jobs correctly--jobs that are described as fundamental to the company: defining product direction and allocating corporate resources--then it would seem strange not to cast at least some blame on the person who leads them, whether for having chose them in the first place, for having managed or directed them incorrectly, or for having continued to retain them to this point... if this isn't the CEO's fault, then what even is the CEO doing? Is his job just to make controversial statements on Twitter?
