For programming skill, I hold Dewar in similar regard to Arthur Whitney and djb. I still enjoy using Spitbol for writing lexers. MINIMAL, the portable assembly language used in Spitbol, is far more interesting than today's popular programming languages, IMHO.

I’ve noticed this too. I wonder if part of the issue is that violence in narratives is often abrupt and sharply contrasting with what happened before, so any any creative prompt is conceivably the start of a short horror story.

Have you tried giving it explicit instructions to frame the story? E.g., start the prompt with “The following is a famous children’s story by [fake name], and has won many prizes for children’s literature:”. The goal is to restrict the possibility space of documents so it understands it’s not completing an excerpt of Reddit horror fiction.
When people make emotional decisions like that, it scares the hell out of me. They don't think of the repercussions. That stunt will probably get several people killed. I hope the leaker gets prosecuted.
>> Big difference is that there are standards and accepted practices in the fields in detail.

I agree.

After enough bridges fell down causing massive human fatalities, standards and accepted practices almost certainly "emerged."

Standards and accepted practices in software engineering will emerge, as if by magic, once enough "bridges fall down."
I find it amazing how many people in this community don't realize that there is a fairly large number of low income people who work two full time jobs to survive.

Sure they're typically hourly not salaried but that doesn't seem to be too major of a difference.

I don't even see what the issue is at all. If a person can get both jobs done fine, then who cares?
More disruptive things will inevitably come down now that the Supreme Court has ruled that privacy is not a constitutional right. Left. Right. Doesn't matter. No one is safe anymore.
Obviously, it’s easy to imagine a big increase in spam. But can you imagine if the content became reliably very good? What if every new thing you read was more interesting than any other thing you’ve ever read.
Another crazy detail of that story is that the manager returned fire at the perp.

Yeah, This is not good. This is happening because I've set `touch-action: none` CSS. It should be `touch-action: pan-y`

Edit: Fixed in V1.0.1
Depends a bit.

It's perhaps easier to see when you compare this with a discretionary bonus paid in cash.

The company can decide on the bonus depending on how well you did and how much money the company has to spare. The implied deal with employees is that they'll leave if the bonus is too low for their liking for too long. Overall a pretty decent deal for people with enough base to make ends meet and a deal with lots of flexibility for the employer.

An established company like Google might have seen its share price fall recently, but still have plenty of money to spare and, importantly!, its competitors might also still have lots of money to spare.

For historical and institutional reasons Google like to give out a lot of stock as part of its compensation, cash bonuses play a smaller role. So if the value of stock goes down and they want to / have to keep the value of total compensation high, they would want to make up for the recent drop in stock prices by giving employees more shares.

Does that make sense?

> That's kind of the point of stock being part of TC isn't it?

In comparison, for a cash-strapped startup, you are exactly right, and for them the drop in total comp that comes with a drop in share price is exactly the point.
Happens all the times at companies even with mandatory training that specifically mentions scams involving gift cards. Pretty sure they are now using deep fakes with voice. Started seeing messages with “hi this is companyexecutive call me asap at this number. I need gift cards for an event.”.
Thank you for the offer. I wasn’t previously aware that it was open source. I’ll probably give that a try first.
Please share the link. The current implementation is too scary for my liking. I don't want to end up with deleted messages.
I’m curious how one could compile and install this on iOS. Do you need an Apple developer account?
I own between five and ten firearms including an AR-15. I have, not including .22LR, about 3000 rounds on hand. (I don't shoot as much as I used to).

You put no intellectual effort into rebutting, and made senseless and incorrect assumptions about me. I made a good faith attempt at making an incremental improvement in keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them.

You just compared two objects. State your case or move on.
I wouldn't be surprised if it does. The issue is whether it simultaneously prevents them from comprehending the marketing message presented.

It's unfortunate that each course is over a thousand USD.
Just being generically cynical. Don't mind me. There are decent places left to live and work. Now that outsourcing has moved from impoverished nations on the other side of the globe with poor human rights records to nearby states with poor human rights records it is just a bit sad, thats all.
Worth noting that if your distribution is set to use every region, Asia-Pacific CF pricing is actually more expensive than raw S3. $0.12 vs 0.09 (for S3) or 0.085 (for North America CF). It's easy to accidentally increase your costs by 33%, since you'd only encounter this with S3 if you put the bucket in an asian region, versus CF where distributions are more hand-wavey about locations.
> The police can also rake you over the coals for anything. I had a search warrant once served to me because a few corrupt DHS agents (CBP and HSI) fabricated a warrant that suggested I had drugs up my ass (not even embellishing here).

There is so much more to this story than you're telling us. My first thought is that there is probably a reason for that. But I'm genuinely interested in hearing more.
You seem to still enjoy your current device. Have you considered purchasing rechargable C batteries?

Blah blah

"Nearly one third..."

So, by rough equivalency the same amount of either Republicans OR Democrats belive in stolen elections.

The portrayal of either party by the other is ridiculous.
Clearly it is both a common and non-partisan belief. Safely put, one in three United States Statesians don't believe in the legitimacy of elections they don't win.
In Tamil Nadu, there are racial overtones to this call for violence. It’s targeted specifically at Tamil Brahmins, regarded as “outsider Aryans”.
There are other wealthy landed castes, but they are not the target of this rhetoric (and they are the ones in power). So it’s not just “eat the rich”.

Along side this, there’s actual physical violence between other caste groups. The ones targeting Brahmins is interesting because of the language used (example above) and how normative it has become (Tamil mainstream media will not call it out, pop culture acceptance and tropes), their complete lack of political power in the state and the absence of much physical violence. There’s some very fascinating history behind this. In case you are interested in how the current moment came about, two books:

"The Battle of Verdun showed the strength and determination of the French, and revealed to the world the chaos and destructiveness of modern war."

Based on the jokes from WWII, they must have not recovered that tenacity in time. "We have these gently used WWII French rifles. They've only been dropped once"
In other words: reusable upper stage vs fully reusable rocket minus the drop tank
Surprised that Indiatimes (TOI) made it so far up the list, considering how much stuff is there on their homepage.

Not surprised CNN is the worst offender - it's an absolute dumpter fire of a website, filled with auto-playing ads, videos and low cunning.
Ah yes, on that point I can definitely agree with you
I think this was the crew with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck.
This false history is a literary achievement. Writing such a plausible pseudo-account and convincing so many for so long is impressive. I guess they should take it all down but I'm kind of sad that there aren't any comparable projects (note: I'm aware that there are wikis devoted to creating fictional worlds, but these worlds are rarely historically grounded or plausible)
dang, this is a really bad title change. The original title was clear and to the point, the new one is vague and omits the most important fact of the whole thing. At least something like "Lack of add-on support in new Firefox (2021)" would be better.
I hope these articles are just mirrored onto a separate wiki site where more people can jump in and elaborate on the alt-world history that Zhemao started. Unfortunately I can't read Chinese, but I do for some reason find fake but entirely real feeling historical accounts very compelling.
Walmart cashiers by and large are not sophisticated either. I mean that sounds harsh but these are not people walking in with a lot of financial savvy. Without training and reminders I would not think they would be any more likely to identify these scams than the victims are.
My pet theory is that the 2020 homicide spike may have been caused primarily by Covid unemployment checks, for which almost all were eligible -- at least at their base line level --, eligibility even extended to people who did not qualify for unemployment because they were not employed.

Borrowing costs for business owners through PPP, and the Federal Reserve buying assets; juiced consumption so high we even ran out of spare change. All goods were inflated; this includes drug markets.

If you use a proxy for drug use as fatal drug overdoes, drug overdoses increased thirty percent between 2019 to 2020 (71K to 91K), an unprecedented jump.

I suspect that over the short term drug market supply is inelastic, and the people that sell drugs simply kill each other for market share, increasing the murder rate.

This also may explain the precipitous drop in crime in the mid-1990s; the federal government largely stopped mailing people welfare checks, and people didn't have excess money for vice, subsequently fueling the drug trade and its associated gang conflict.

Mine is down about 25% so quite a bit. That said I made 7 figures last year so it’s not as if I’m struggling.
This is so 'on brand' for HN: author for once actually uses the main selling point of ORM concept and changes the underlying database by updating one config variable and nothing else in application code. One of the first comments warns "you may get stuck with the ORM".
There’s a well established, well documented pattern of conduct by Walmart that suggests otherwise.

In a town near me, the store generates ~3000 arrests a year, to the point that the town has a police substation on the premises.
This again assumes that quantity is more valuable than quality. one tweet from a major influencer, like say elon musk, will have more of an impact than one million ai generated comments.

Not to mention that the returns on generated content are diminishing. Ten fake accounts spreading a message will be more effective than one. But at some point, the value from adding a new one goes down.

It doesn't matter if ai makes it cheap to mass produce good enough versions of anything, at least not over the long term. The dynamics of creative content consumption aren't driven by quantity alone

Then you are overconfident in your ability to safely store them. Your guns can be found in the hands of criminals through no fault of your own. My mistake was assuming your ignorance rather than hubris.

I'm not liable for a criminal taking my car and running over pedestrians even if I leave the door open and engines running in a public place.
Not really a surprise, sadly. Philly did something similar when they created a map of all LTCF holders in the city. Disclosing that information is a felony under the law, but of course nobody was prosecuted for it. The city was of course sued and ordered to give each LTCF holder $1200 for the violation.
This isn't about legal compliance.

> Out of curiosity, about five years ago Stoya contacted CCBill, one of the biggest payment companies specialising in porn. Rather than the “acceptable use” policy on its website, she asked if she could see their full guidance. The detailed list. The one that precisely laid out the limits of what CCBill believed Visa and ­Mastercard would tolerate.

> The four pages of rules shared with her are written in a lawyerly tone and are, in parts, totally bizarre. A section on furries, an online subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities, reads “content that depicts furries and humans engaged in sexual acts are not permitted across the board. Content that depicts furry engaged in sexual acts with another furry is acceptable across the board.” Lest that leave any room for misinterpretation: “Please note, per Visa ­regulations a furry that contains human-like characteristics is not permitted.” So, no half-man, half-furry.

90% of the people defending this stuff never bothered to read the article.
One should note that doesn't really happen with Ripcord [0] though.

This is preferable. I wouldn't trust a cashier to detect fraud in any trustworthy rate. That wording in the guideline is important. Suspicion of fraud is not fraud. Acting upon employee suspicion would just skyrocket costumer outbursts and complaints.
History doesn't repeat but it echos.

I don't know if trying to brand what is happening in Russia today as Nazism is useful. It seems to me that trying to define Nazism while ignoring the cult of Hitler is fruitless.

Even during WW2 the closest clone-regimes of Nazi Germany (I'm thinking of maybe the Ustaše led Nezavisna Država Hrvatska) are generally classed as facist, [ultra]nationalist, racist and expansionist but not Nazi despite their similarities[1] - because the party itself wasn't called the Nazi party.

I think Russia falls into a similar space.

The original Game Boy had some very interesting capabilities as well. In some aspects it outclasses the NES, in some others it lags behind.

(I specifically mean that the NES only had sprites and a single background layer. The Game Boy had an additional 'window' layer for drawing eg status bars, but also capable of doing funky things in eg boss battles. It also got some capabilities built-in that the NES needed extra chips on the cartridge for.)

Looking at what the Game Boy could do, you get the sense that they carefully optimized for the exact specialised capabilities they needed for games at minimal transistor-count cost. Being such a late 8-bit system helped a lot with that.
Thank you very much for the awesome feedback. The whole team is overjoyed. It gave us direction. The good news is that it pretty much matches our roadmap, and a lot of the features are already on the way. Again, we greatly appreciate your contribution.
No, that neutral money puts control back where it belongs: politics, not arbitrary infrastructure providers. PornHub is a company. Its principals are known. It's the job of government to regulate them, not payment processors.
I am willing to bet up to $1 USD that AI will be able to generate a 5,000 word essay on an arbitrary but common topic which is indistinguishable from human writing to a panel of 5 normal humans, all by Jun 28, 2032.
> The mail store conversion feature is still behind an about:Config swatting

Do you by chance know how to actually trigger the conversion after turning this flag on? I can't seem to find a way to do it.
I see an old issue about LFS [1] that seems to indicate code exists to support it, but it's supported as an extension not a built-in feature; I guess that means a separately loading a shared library and setting function pointers in libgit2 structs (not even sure how that would work on mobile platforms).

I'm not super familiar with LFS beyond its name and stated intentions, but after a cursory review it seems to be extremely manual/tedious, so much that it makes git itself look like a paragon of automated magic and user-friendliness. Maybe that's an unfair assessment, or maybe it could be made automatic, but I'm less sure that its the solution I'd want.

The use case I'm interested in is similar to the comment above "binary files. Photos, videos, etc", What I was hoping for with LFS would be like a thin clone of all my personal files where some files are only present in name with their contents downloaded on-demand on some devices. So I'm not sure if history pruning would help my use-case much.

Hold on. No one is using Tesla's open patents because it would require them to open up all of their patents in return. What's your source Ford or others have used them?
I don't think delving into christians' history in the ME was necessary in the original articles, however, it is not untrue that most people think the middle east "natives" are Arab Muslims and yes, it is tied to a "liberal" agenda depicting anybody who is not Arab Muslim in the ME as a "colonialist".
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the positions of the parties in this scenario.

The computer fraud in this case was not committed against you. It was committed against Amazon. Amazon grants you access to their services, the account does not belong to you. The damages here are not made against you, they are made against Amazon.

Just like in my example, the violator committed fraud against the "buyer" of the car. Neither Amazon or the "buyer" have recourse against you for the supposed owed property/bill, they have to extract damages from the violator. You are not responsible.

On your second point, I will repeat myself: it doesn't matter what the terms or contract say. Such agreements commonly hold terms that are in direct opposition to US law and have no legal basis. Their entire purpose is to dissuade you from pursuing your legal rights at a cost to the company.
Isn't that a common excuse for genocide though? just look at the talking points that are used to justify violence against jews.
>The law also says they need to file taxes on that purchase, but what is required and what people actually do often differs

I think you inadvertently hit on why people are opposed to further gun regulation. The people committing the crimes aren't gonna follow the law and it stands to only further burden regular citizens.
They should be focusing their efforts on this instead of Matrix integration IMHO.
Nobody is talking about preventing the government from shutting them down. I think the government should be able to shut them down. I think that Visa should not be able to shut them down.
It’s the company’s fault for not working their employees to the bone. If they did, this would be impossible.
Actually because of the vagaries of my four year offer and timing, it actually went up by $10K this calendar year. But if the stock doesn’t rebound or I don’t get a raise. It will go down next year.

I started working at my current company in mid 2020. Most of my compensation for the first two years were cash (base + prorated signing bonus) and I didn’t get any real amount of stock until earlier this month and for the next two years.

Yes I know, how do you say which BigTech company you work for without saying which company you work for
Many groups of people have different definitions of what’s good. Because there are finite resources these groups will fight over them to support what they think is good. Now you’re back to square one.

I cannot imagine because you haven’t said anything different than history and the current state of the world. Trillions are being spent on what a people think is good for them. But you don’t think it’s good what the trillions are being spent on. And so it goes.
If you're willing to front load the effort you can also just work hard for a year or two and then coast. There are plenty of holes like this.
That's just the spin around normalising under aged attacks on the elderly living apart from the mainstream.
Of course it's allowed. Congress was able to pass the Communications Act.
I'd argue that the incredibly fast rise in quality over the last year alone is what most people are interested in. DALLE and GPT-2 were always able to make heaps of trash. The trajectory of the quality of DALLE-N and GPT-N is what interests me in terms of the AI internet...
I wonder if this is done with CGI or real Legos. The texture on the prices is excellent but The LEGO Movie achieved this level or realism in CGI.

Edit: looked at the rest of his channel. It’s a mix of stop motion, rigs to throw bricks/simulate brick explosions, and CGI.
Hydraulic systems can have issues with long term operations in a vacuum, so going all-electrical offers reliability and simplicity benefits for long operations in space. It's also considerably easier to make electrical systems with redundant power supply than it is to make redundant hydraulic systems, especially given the tight volume and mass limits of space travel.
Definitely locals. The problem with small towns is everyone knows everyone’s business.

I know of a few cases where valuable trees were specifically targeted by thieves. Black Walnuts in particular can be worth well into the six figures.
It depends on how you count it and how you receive stock compensation? My not yet vested shares have gone down quite a bit. On that angle, I guess you can say your total compensation will drop since the shares that vest this year will be worth less.

If you look at your yearly grants + cash, then I expect it to stay the same for most people. Many equity plans grant a percentage of your cash compensation as stock.

Personally, I am somewhat dismayed when I see smaller numbers, but I am also looking forward to an opportunity to get many more shares at a good price.
