It also detracts from the main point, which is this could happen to someone, but, since it’s hypothetical, makes it sounds a lot more unrealistic. The "fireproof but not lightning-proof" safe gave me pause, for example.
China is getting a fair bit of the precursors from Africa. European countries are in a fairly good position to do business with African countries.

It's interesting to note that Facebook just decided to sunset its trusted contacts feature.
What do you mean when you say it's "an enforcement (and/or cultural) issue."? Isn't all crime a cultural issue to some extent? What is the purpose of law enforcement, and prosecution in your mind?
Thanks for the feedback. Ideally we would have opened up sales right away rather than a waiting list (we have the notes manufactured), but we are waiting to wrap up a few key pieces like the mobile apps.

We highlight the low serial notes as we know numismatists like to collect this sort of thing.
> it doesn't mean the money will go to 1000 experiments. It's more likely that nothing will be funded

Perhaps it is reasonable to allow the money to remain unspent on topics related to physics! Spending has opportunity costs, after all; if these other experiments are not really the measure of the cost, then something else of value to society surely is.
I still use my 2011 macbook air, not as a main driver but still quite a bit. I had to put linux using xfce on it for it to actually work in a non painful way, MacOS not being able to update properly was part of it, I did find a way to force the updates since I thought I may use it for iphone dev and still use xcode on it, but it wasn't viable. It's mostly used for web surfing via firefox, and if I run something like gnome or cinnamon it struggles quite a lot more than xfce.
Anyone checking out this should also look at GoodRx. Full disclosure, I work at GoodRx. I think we beat them on prices for the most part but it is always good to check theirs too. They beat our prices sometimes.

I am all for picking whatever the lowest price is. That is the whole goal.
Frankly, with NATO around they don’t Have to invade Germany to get Germany involved in a war - if they invade any NATO member, Germany will get involved, which means Germany is a target for retributive strikes.
> Conversely, it gets easier to write outside tools that interact with Python code by removing corner cases and simplifying the grammar.

That sounds like a false economy to me. A one time small savings of developer effort (implementing the old grammar rule for decorators wasn't onerous?) to permit foolish and unnecessary intricacies among the laity.

> It means people are likely to trip over it.

Only if they are attempting to do something foolish. (Who puts whole expressions in a decorator!?)

Tell you what, you go find examples where people have tripped over it in the past and I'll code golf them to see if I can come up with something idiomatic and simpler. Does that sound like fun to you? ("Cause it does to me. Candy!)
Montreal island subburbs, so many of them every summer.
Realistically regulations don't take effect out of nowhere so people would have time to exit their positions. Of course the price would crash but that's going to happen anyway.
Thanks. That (lack of) distinction of course was also in TECO from the beginning, but then again, though I didn't start using TECO myself until the late 70s, even then it wasn't common to think of strings the way they are thought of today.

The most common machines at the time had all sorts of strings and buffers of various character widths (on a single machine) and I remember back then I often encountered and used the term "string" in a more abstract way to refer to contiguous set of symbols rather than the more concrete way it is used today that was starting to evolve at that time.
Reverse engineering AHD DVR boards, possible?
Did anyone succeed in reverse engineering and/or reflashing with custom open firmware those cheap AHD capable DVR boards based on the NT9832x and similar SoCs?

You can find them for sale online from Chinese vendors by searching "AHD DVR board". Basically they are CCTV DVR devices without the enclosure.

Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275089522569

They all employ some tight closed Linux firmware, and as many other tight closed networked Chinese products have been caught phoning home, it is completely unsafe to let them open to the outside through the internal LAN; some also use old kernels (3.x) that could expose vulnerabilities, therefore a firewall becomes a must. Many of them also attempt to force users to install proprietary apps on phones or use Microsoft browsers to administer them via their web page. They, and their users, would benefit immensely from an Open Source treatment.

Security aside, those still are interesting device nonetheless for having some nice capabilities that would turn useful for other projects; all those very fast ADCs could be used for SDR, SATA ports for storage, etc.

I spent some time searching around, as I did unsuccessfully with older models years ago, but as before found nothing more than a few posts, all in Chinese, referring to some vendor SDK but no hints on how to get it, which probably means it's buried under a pile of NDAs.

> Did he? Without the contract, it's impossible to know.

The merger agreement is publicly available from the SEC [0]. In particular, Articles VI and VII have the conditions to the merger, and due diligence is not among them (as far as I saw, at least).

In addition, the fact that Musk waived due diligence is explicitly spelled out in the proxy statement Twitter filed regarding the acquisition [0]:

> Later on April 21, 2022, ... Mr. Musk also disclosed that his acquisition proposal was no longer subject to the completion of financing and business due diligence.
>
> <snip>
>
> The Twitter Board determined not to contact other parties at this time based on ... (3) the likelihood that other potential acquirors would require substantial due diligence, creating a delay and risk to reaching the signing of such a potential transaction

This was signed off on by Musk and the Chair of Twitter's Board of Directors, so I think it's reasonable to presume it is accurate.

> it seems perfectly reasonable to make an offer based on the presented facts, and then dig in to make sure they are correct before finalizing the deal.

Sure, that's reasonable, but that's not what Elon did. He didn't make an offer conditioned on due diligence, he outright agreed to purchase Twitter without such a condition.

I just guessed by the physical size of the device. I guess it could be a smaller coin cell as well.
I'm most familiar with specifying grammar for the ANTLR tool. Just out of curiosity, is the antlr grammar a parsing expression grammar? Does anyone know?

Separately, I'm curious about how a parser generated out of ANTLR/yacc etc compares to this hand written one? If you've done some benchmarking, it'd be great to see numbers!

Ah yes, the US interest of not funding Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I know Roger Federer and Nadal were both soccer players until late, and chose to specialize in tennis later down the road. I bet there is some survivorship bias, but a non-negligible number of kids end up hating a sport because of the insane schedules these days and parent oversight. My sister played tennis from the age of 9 until the end of college, and I am not sure she wants to pick up a tennis racquet ever again. I started playing tennis in college, and I am absolutely in love with it, and will be for the rest of my life.

You assume everyone is self-oriented and wants to be autonomous and have a great work ethics and care about their privacy.
There are people like that. There are also people that want a lot of guidance.
There are also people that just wants to be paid and don't really care much about the current job goals. There are also people that will do the bare-minumum they can to keep the job.
Understanding who is who requires good management and a good number of managers.

Pretty much all the banks in my country (Sweden) use a local national digital ID system called BankID which is issued by the banks themselves to mobile devices as a second factor and gets tied to your national ID number (and once issued by your bank is used by your bank, other banks, the government for tax filing/address change/receiving official mail digitally instead of physically, signing contracts for e.g. apartments, and even retailers to address auto-fill).

All the banks I know of require 2FA in the form of either a physical, battery-powered RSA token (sometimes in the form of a EMV card reader) or a valid BankID.

The assumption is you live in the country and can just visit a branch if you have any trouble, which works for 99% of customers. But not for me.
I agree - but the decisions on the recruiting process is not on the team, assuming this is a mid-large sized company - that decision could be made miles away from the people interviewing you.

You can write them off based on this, but it's not pragmatic. Downside another hour of their life vs $$$ increase from the role. That 60 mins could be the difference between X00k!
Yup, trying to fix this
That's pretty amazing. The hiring manager's judgement wasn't trusted by his manager, whose judgement was in turn not trusted by his manager. None of these people delegate!

It had utility to the US government in demonstrating to the Russians our ability to accurately move payloads on the planetary scale. Actually landing on the moon was just a conveniently goal-aligned PR win. Beyond that though, being able to put things at that scale in orbit has shown major dividends at in every sector.
Example: the DA won’t prosecute theft under $950, as you say. So the police will literally stand across the street and watch a street vendor get robbed and do nothing.

Just because the DA will refuse to press charges doesn’t mean they couldn’t have still arrested the guy for the night and returned the property, not to mention intervening in a potentially dangerous situation for the shop owner and customers.
If it really comes down to it, Twitter could sue for a lot more than $1 billion - they could sue for specific performance, which in the best case for Twitter would effectively force Elon to go through with the purchase at the original price.
I had a similar contact a month ago with a neighboor regarding my dandilion population, which had brought in a crazy amount of bees and other insects. Also the front yard looked pretty--just tons of yellow flowers. Anyways, he asked me if I wanted him to come over and spray my yard with some sort of stuff to kill the weeds. I just looked at him with a puzzled look and replied "You are asking me if I want you to come and spread poison all over my yard where my kids and dog play???" He realized immediately that I wasn't a lawn person, and backed off.

As far as I'm aware, this doesn't happen with commingled merchandise. I'm also not sure how that would work, since I might order from one seller and get a message to review another seller. I think if that happened Amazon might do more about it than they seem to in other cases.

The messages are in the shipping box, not the packaging.
Just to play devils advocate: will so-called “conservative” policies improve the situation?
The title has been edited (I think by a yc moderator) which I think is a good move.
I was being a bit hyperbolic, of course there are some rules, but much more flexibility than in the US.
The problem is that situation doesn't really exist.

At an organizational level, it's extremely hard to control what information get put into a SaaS. There are far too many ways in which data can be de-anonymized or inferred against (e.g. a field existing can have privacy implications).

It's far safer to use a SaaS provider that meets general control requirements than to try to shoe-horn encrypted data into them.
There's a youtuber/streamer I sometimes watch, an American living in Ukraine until the war. She fled to Portugal when the invasion started, and paid for an item with her credit card enroute. This triggered an automated lockout from the card suddenly being used abroad.

The bank's bureaucracy advised her to unlock it she needed to go in person to her home branch in Ukraine (which has a decent chance of being a pile of rubble given her neighbourhood was hit by shelling in the time after she left).
I said rent prices.
You probably shouldn't be downvoted for that. Russia of the present, and for at least the next few decades, is entirely incapable of getting anywhere near staging an invasion of Germany. Russia and it's hyper incompetent military can't even make it a quarter of the way through Ukraine.

The best Russia could do is bomb Germany from a distance, which could pose a small threat to valuable infrastructure like fabs.
The reason for the limitation is bandwidth and latency.

Multiple devices on one Bluetooth controller have to timeslice in 4 millisecond (iirc) chunks. Audio devices in a high quality mode consume a substantial amount of the overall bandwidth. It also doesn't matter if your packet consumes the full size of a chunk of not, all of them are equally sized. You'd have to do two audio chunks and one controller chunk * 2 controllers to maintain a 60 Hz sample rate on the controllers.
Not sure about Nintendo, but my macbook charger is charging perfectly fine my (Android) smartphone, and I don't even take my Android charger when traveling (charging at decent pace but unfortunately not in "very fast" mode).

I like it. There is always a way to hack something. This is an additional layer of security that yes, can be also broken.
Yes -- that's correct. The security printing is really to highlight that these feel and look like real money which we believe is critically important. There is significant literature on the psychology of money and we believe that it has been a big missing piece for the adoption of Bitcoin.

Had we just used a color laser printer and attached chips to standard paper the security of the Bitcoin stored would be the same, but the experience for someone holding it would be vastly different. Our goal is that you can gift one of these notes to a family member and they will keep it safe even if they don't fully understand it (unlike a printed QR code or ambiguous gift card).
I'm sorry, but if your pricing is too complex to write out on the pricing page so I can know upfront if it's even worth talking to you, I won't reach out to you. It also suggests that your pricing is simply too complex, and that would hurt me as a paying customer as well, as I wouldn't fully understand the invoices I receive from you.

Building a calculator that lets potential customers input their variables and you show what the pricing would do solves that problem fully, and takes minimal amount of time to implement.

That you haven't spent that short amount of time in order to be transparent, looks shady to me (and others, some of them even write the same in this comment thread), as otherwise you'd surely display your pricing upfront.
I’d love to see Apple just leave the EU market or only offer a single old phone model with USB-C added. They have enough money to do it. Bullies like the EU should be stood up to.
Pngcrush was always awesome for web and similar work. I remember using it to get image slices lowered way down in size...for tables...in emails. Blech.

Maybe this is an appropriate place to say that lately I am wishing for a video format that can do dithering and indexed colors without jpeg/mpeg-style blurry/blocky compression. Even 1 bit color would be fine...

My dream is that it would allow something like a pixelcast as an alternative to a video stream, with an impressive rate of compression and no blur at all. Any tips on formats or tools would be appreciated.
I suspect you’d find Carmack’s code was “good enough that there was something more important to work on” rather than necessarily “optimal”. So it’s entirely possible there’s still some fruit to find, just no low-hanging ones.

Well, 30 billion EUR, so not 100 billion dollars unless the US has some really bad inflation.
Also when you factor in the additional "getting ready to go to work" time (shower/bath, choosing outfit, breakfast etc) vs. a quick brush of the teeth and the extra 'unwind time' needed at the end of the work day means that WFH is indeed more productive imo.

I do however understand the fact/issue that some WFH employees aren't self-disciplined enough not to constantly goof-off and picking them up on that is a lot harder than if in the office where you (as a manager) can directly observe it. Also, explaining to employee X that employee A and B can WFH but employee Z can't is an impossible task.

Managers love metrics so if it is indeed more productive to WFH (which I think is accurate) then it should be easy enough for the employees to provide some solid figures. Depending upon the bean-counter that you need to browbeat dictates what metrics to use on them (aka drag them in to the 21st century).
> None of those standards are mandatory

AC power cord standards ARE mandatory. The other standards don't require enforcement because the industry has already converged on the standards and didn't need a push.

This will be the equivalent power cord standard for DC devices. However, unlike AC power cords, USB-C also transmits data, and will thus require further innovations (much like the innovations in twisted pair networking).

Will there be less innovation? In a small way, yes, because nobody can unilaterally push some new power cable standard by leveraging their market dominance. But then again, market dominance usually results in protectionism instead of openness (lightning cable, memory stick, Beta, etc), so such innovation would have been a dead-end e-waste producer anyway.

What big players CAN do now is influence the newer standards to adopt their (free and open) innovations, like they do with all other standards out there. The great thing about open standards is that the rising tide lifts all boats.
>The whole region could turn into something like Mexico City (wealthy center protected by police, surrounded by miles of slums and shantytowns). Importantly, people who serve key roles - teachers, service workers, etc.

Mexico City? That's almost every major US city already. Have you been to DC recently? That's it to a T. The government sector is nice, with a little buffer of upper class homes and businesses surrounded by miles of high-crime slums.
I charged my 2019 16" MBP on a 29W brick from a M1. Charges fine over (a long) time. I bet my laptop runs hotter than this new MBA.

Yeah in my case being single isn't a direct choice (lol). So I just live with it for the time being.

Although regarding choosing to have kids, is something else, that's commitment, I don't know if I can deal with that, raising someone from a baby to an adult eg. 18 years.

As weird as it is to say I do feel sad at the thought that my genes won't go on but at the same time no guarantee future generations make it.

It is misleading to talk about solar when there is utility grid solar which provides low cost power and consumer rooftop solar which does not. Rooftop solar was never, is not and will not ever be cheap and yet is usually highly promoted by advocates. The rooftop solar price is hidden because no power source has been as subsidized as rooftop solar. Besides direct subsidies, wealthier home owners are often paid the retail rate for the electricity they sell to the grid which causes higher electricity bills for those who can't afford to put panels on their roof - sort of a reverse Robinhood scheme.

China is planning on building about 228 nuclear plants to provide 250 GW of power. It looks like they are very serious about de-carbonizing their grid. They will likely develop a lot of expertise in building nuclear plants.
