> exist[...] in order to prevent antitrust litigation,

How does it exclude independent acting.

It literally requires independent acting of the pseudo competition as if not it would count as a cartel and make antitrust actions _easier_ not harder.

The reason they might not be seen as a real competition is not because you do control them, it's because you have so much more money and monopoly-like power that you don't fare their action no matter what hey do.
This comment of mine will be off topic, which pollutes the comments here. This is why the rules prohibit chastising people for not the reading the article. Correct them and or down them. No need to chastise them as well.
And fortran. Which really doesn't matter that much as long as that doesn't leak to the users of numpy, and it doesn't really. The only issue is that it means if you're doing something that doesn't fit the APIs exposed by the native code (in a way where the hot loops are in native code) it's roughly as slow as normal python.
Sounds like you probably don't want to be a settler, which is fine, most people don't. Some people are into that kind of thing.
That suspiciously high 20% doesn't just include people who are LGB or identify as T. It originates from a poll commissioned by GLAAD, who also included in that category anyone who described themselves as "gender non-conforming". Which could mean anything really: clothing styles, haircuts, hobbies, etc.

How do you distinguish between a tech startup and small business?

Not to doxx anyone but I'm familiar enough with the financials of several businesses that would call themselves either depending on the context, and the only meaningful distinction I can think of is venture funding

I hike Old Rag and sit for at least an hour on a rock ledge with low hiker traffic. I don't write. I don't read. I just sit and stare at the mountains and the sky.

I might watch a bird or two. I might see an occasional hiker. My mind might wander to anything from the mountain's name (Old Rag is short for Old Raggedy, because of the rough terrain and serrated skyline) to Stonewall using these mountains tactically, to the Appalachians acting as a firebreak in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse (like in the Remaining series). But I don't consciously focus on anything or do any work. I just let my mind do whatever it needs to do. It's probably as close to meditation as I get.

Then I complete the hike. The endorphins help, too. After a day of rest, I'm a whole new person.
But a single something, even if it takes two trips to resolve, is a whole lot less than this list of ~18 problems with ~23 service visits that span from mildly annoying (wrong model listed in software) to serious (steering system grinding, which they had the audacity to pass off as normal).

This has to be close to qualifying for lemon law status?
Wow thanks! Never knew about pressing the spacebar to toggle to window capture mode.
The mining difficult adjusts. I don't know enough to say what it would take to drop so low that a single asic somehow was too overpowered to be economical, but generally there is automatic matching between the supply and demand of mining power.

As mentioned, 50% attacks are possible at some point (they may even be now). There is not really an incentive for that. I would be curious to see some analysis of how likely they become as the hash rate drops, and match that against the hash rates supported to profitably mine for different prices.
> the server he was connecting to was owned by BitMover (as far as I see)

That would be surprising to me. Being a DCVS, lots of folks in the community would be running their own servers and sharing the URLs to them; that is were Andrew would have noticed URLs like bk://thunk.org:5000. For instance, here's one such URL being shared on the LKML where Andrew hung out: https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2003-12/1108.h... It is my assumption that bk.arm.linux.org.ku was not owned BitMover.

Perhaps that means that whoever was running the server than Andrew connected to was in violation of their license by "authorizing" Andrew's access.
Honda and Toyota seem to provide all three just fine.

Mercury is committed to banking customers of all sizes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31772903
I've founded many companies of many sizes, from 0 to 85 employees, over the last 25 years.

I've used many business banks in many countries. (Wells, Citi, HSBC, ING, BoA, BNZ, OCBC, DBS, Wise, even private banks.)

But I've never been so impressed and happy with my bank as I am with Mercury.

Mercury continues to impress me, even though right now I'm a super-small-fry, their service, features, and attention are top-notch. I love them. I'm a Mercury fan.
I have to look this one up every few months. just rare enough that it won't stay in long term memory.
I would add that Mercury seems to be the top competitor of Brex (SaaSHub https://www.saashub.com/brex-alternatives).

@immad, if you verify Mercury's listing on SaaSHub, I can organize featuring it on the newsletter. Cheers!
So I decided to look at the code that implements talking to gs.apple.com on my Mac. It already supports using TLS. If I am reading this correctly, there are ways it could be enabled right now. Out of respect to Apple; as they are clearly not yet ready to enable this for everyone, I am declining to say how.

Or… he’s just bootstrapping a class action lawsuit and using some guerrilla marketing (a fantastical damages claim to get lots of social media coverage). It’s almost like he’s using similar tactics to those Musk uses with his companies…

Not remarkable. In the age of Trump, this is basic opening offer for a negotiation. The further you move the opening offer beyond the value you expect, the more you influence the Overton Window in your benefit.
I believe this phenomenon to be very true in ML/AI today.
Toyota kind of implies otherwise. Besides my impression is that Tesla doesn't really have manufacturing at scale yet. Aren't they still having trouble fulfilling orders?
It wasn't 23 service visits, as I attempted to have multiple problems fixed per visit. So far it has been in service for 14 days spread across 7 services.

California lemon laws require a car to be in service for at least 30 days in the first 18 months.

Yes, which I mentioned, so thank you for restating my second point.

Failure of immediate managers to act on employees giving themselves hundred of thousands of dollars in contracts seems a good issue to speak out about, especially when the author might have been fired in retaliation for bringing the issue up in the first place. Your attempt to minimize it as just "... wine" is a thin veil to cover such a casual dismissal of the issue.

What exactly do you object to here? What threshold of wrongdoing do you hold up as necessary to cross before speaking out is appropriate? You're willing to shove aside illegal firing and unethical self-dealing, so what is enough to stop you from being annoyed that a person goes public on something like this? It feels very strange to need to defend the author's actions as reasonable, so I'm at a loss to understand your point of view here. Are you upset the author is making an issue of it in the first place, or simply that it's getting this much attention? Or is the issue that it probably wouldn't be considered newsworthy if Google or other high profile company wasn't involved? I have to think think there's something more substantial behind your opinion to be so dismissive of the issue, so what is it?
People have moral compasses and don't want to give money to companies he's involved in.

I am interested in this topic but never quite understood it. Is there a techincal reason why these organizations don't transpile COBOL to C? I imagine building such a compiler wouldn't be that hard, and even if it is, we've had decades to work on it.

Is it more of a process thing (having to change unit tests, code review, hire new people, etc) that prevents this? Or is it just too risky given the important roles of the mainframes?
Proud.
I believe they are doing things right now that do not scale so that they can get reviews like yours. It is a strategy to create loyal customers at the beginning.

I'm not sure but I think PG has talked about this strategy.
OSL establishes a lower bound on age. Numerous events can lead it to read younger than the reality.

Yet, the Valley Temple and Menkaure pyramid come out 500 years older than the official numbers. (With wide error bars, it must be said.)
I largely agree. I had a very bad upbringing, as did most of my childhood and teenage friends. I've just in the past year or two managed to "break the cycle", but it wasn't (isn't) easy.

Now that most people in my life are themselves successful professionals, getting glimpses into their family life and childhood is surreal. It's a completely different culture, typically a much, much, much healthier one. It's shocking how many people don't consciously acknowledge this fundamental chasm between people.

They're an Objective C developer, so no, I won't. It's a very typical Apple device user response of 'why would you want to do that?' epitomised by Jobs' 'you're holding it wrong' advice.
not quite, a lot of the weakness comes solely from the fact of it not being used super widely and as such being easier to finger print.

Through then the moment flutter became semi successful any hope for preventing/limiting fingerprinting was lost as the only way I know of to prevent fingerprinting through WebGl and similar is by not allowing it's usage. I.e. only allow it for special use-cases like games and tell the user of the drawback of reduced privacy. But flutter needs/wants that tech for normal websites...
Cults are not religions. The body of decisions is remarkably explicit about this, when you consider how difficult the question “what is a religion” actually is.

Edit: I forgot to provide references. Here’s a summary[1] of a 1988 California Supreme Court ruling in which the court determined that cult conduct does not fall under religious protections, even if the cult’s members might genuinely believe the cult’s doctrines. In other words, an internal decision by Google to terminate cult members because of their history of sex abuse or self dealing is unlikely expose them to civil litigation risk.

Well, you seem like you’ve researched this more closely than I have. I really haven’t dug in at all except for the Wikipedia page. I’m comfortable admitting that I know less about this than you do.
Fair, sorry for that, feeling a tad defensive. Let me try to be clear, being while acknowledging there are things I have clear opinions on and thing I don't.

I had two big problems with the original comment. First the implication that identities based on hormones are weird in anyway (hormones make a big part of who we are), and the tone in which it was written. I also took some issue with the idea that it's likely the cause of some sort lgbtqness, because yes it's the sort of thing that gets expressed mostly by people who think other groups of people are in essence broken and it's tempting so we have seen it about all sorts of issues including the gay people.

I am not confident on the last note though, I can believe that some environment factor has contributed, but if so being careful about your language, and worried about falling into bias is the proper way to talk about it. Certainly some day we will have the ability to mold things like sexuality to our desire, but we'll still need to decide how we label such things

1. Not everyone agrees that trans people are trans because of hormone imbalances, at least not in the same way
2. Using language of damaged, or brokenness to express the idea of environmental influences where not warranted is wrong especially where it's used to imply that adult trans people are invalid in some way
High immigration and lack of border enforcement isn't something uncontrollable, like the weather. It's a choice, made by politicians.
Interesting, and good to know.

The part I don’t get is that Google is listed right next to Yelp, who are the #1 advocates for regulatory action against Google.
By this reasoning, though, there is no such thing as localized harm. The reason I can't abide by the idea that "there's no such thing as localized harm" is that, when you actually try to analyze nonlocal harms caused by personal decisions, you get swallowed up by the butterfly of doom.

It's the butterfly effect. For example, a lot of software that actually gets written is a net negative to society, even if it functions perfectly. So does making it more efficient actually benefit anybody? And a lot of other software is embedded in organizations that will add features to the software until it fails, expanding like an ideal gas to fill whatever space it's given, so even if you make it more efficient and less failure-prone, you're only really delaying the inevitable anyway. However, making a bureaucratic organization less efficient might not actually stop it; consider, for example, how the Social Security Card was originally engineered to be unusable as a national ID, but got used as one anyway, so now the United States not only has a national ID that most citizens didn't want, but we're stuck with a bad one. However, identity theft might actually be considered just another case of externalities, and if the bureaucrats had to eat the cost of easy-to-forge national IDs, this problem might have gotten fixed.

I think you can analyze nonlocal harms, but not using informal reasoning in a chatroom. There are too many possible interactions in the real world to fit them all in your head. You end up with an impossible-to-analyze infinite regress.

Instead, nonlocal harms should probably expect real-world measurements to prove that they actually exist and aren't entirely being washed out by the much larger effect sizes of unrelated phenomena.
But Mitsubishi does not provide all three, and its prices are lower than Honda and Toyota. See also econoboxes from Eastern Europe.

So my claim is that Honda and Toyota provide high value by balancing a low-ish (but not the lowest) price against high quality.

From what I understand, catnip doesn't make cats "high" so much as it's an aphrodesiac. When I adopted my cat, she used to go absolutely nuts for catnip. It turned out that the shelter's information that she was spayed was wrong, though, and I ended up getting that done. Since then, her reaction to catnip has been much more subdued; she'll roll around in it a few minutes, but then basically settle down and ignore it afterwards.

tl;dr your cat might just not be horny enough to care about catnip
I looked at the Wikipedia article and a couple other pages, I guess the key word is "localization", which basically seems to mean language. I'm pretty sure I knew and forgot that.

I find the vimmaxxing message common enough but I disagree with it.

Not because vim vs nano vs emacs etc. Just that plain text is not enough.

I want to be able to encode more of my memory and context to my notes with a minimum of fuss, and therefore want to embed images (gasp!), tables, hyperlinks, and even file or sound embeds in my documents.

Yes, open simple file formats are better than closed complex formats (and doing text vs binary formats has something to say for it as well).

No, I don't like that Onenote's .ONE file specification is super complex and therefore only semi-open.

But I'm not about to lock myself into a DEC dumb terminals 80x24 limitations where I have to learn some greybeard's key bindings for everything, all for the privilege of losing all my ability to embed multimedia combined with said gatekeepers tut-tutting me that I should just make a link in my terminal to the local image file, nevermind that you can't copy/paste an image into a bash terminal and have the file be saved to that directory (ok it probably exists but is some obscure something).

So I watch Xournal++ very closely, specifically [this issue](https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/937) because it will have the total package, multimedia embeds, ink support, text support, file embeds, all in one file that I can syncthing save to wherever else I like.

But until then? Onenote desktop, sorry but not that sorry.

The majority of people (probably at least 7 nines) who buy a Tesla will never experience anything like this and will reap the rewards of a car with low average maintenance costs (the majority of that being lower-than-average tire lifetimes).

Tons of cars from other manufacturers often have similar issues from the factory, eg The Stellantis (Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram) family supposedly has one lemon every 100k cars produced[0] and that's only if the issue isn't fixed within 3 visits to the dealership's auto repair shop.

My Kia dealership has an insanely good service center.

After a quick oil change place put the wrong oil in my car, the service center got my entire engine warranty replaced.

They regularly wave diagnostic fees, fix little extras for free, and are incredibly pleasant to deal with.

The Kia dealership itself is terrible, trying to buy a car from there is literally insulting at times.

That they cover a rental car for the duration of however long they have my car is a nice extra that independent repair shops don't offer.
