An analogy that seems to connect with some people at least:

You know the Martial Arts movie trope where 20 minutes into the movie, the master tells the student never to do X, and then in the final battle the student only triumphs by doing X? That's because what you can do and what you should do changes as you figure out what you're doing. The rule applies to you until you understand why the rule doesn't apply to you/this situation.

The subtlety here is in knowing the difference between "the rules don't apply to me" and "I understand the situation where the rule is reasonable, and safe, and either this is not one of those situations, or 'safe' doesn't address an even bigger danger." The former is the origin story of the villain, the latter the origin story of the unlikely hero. Or less dramatically, it's Chesterton's Fence.

Rich people pushing a liberal agenda are still rich people. The "capitalist agenda" I mentioned in my prior comment still applies and supersedes the virtue signaling.

For example, Bill Gates, the EU, and the MPAA all stepped in to tell President Biden to get lost when he proposed suspending COVID-19 vaccine patents. They worked tirelessly to water down and chip away at every WHO vaccine program that might have meant them either having to negotiate a rate or not enforce patents in certain countries. If this was just about pushing a liberal or left-ish agenda at the expense of profits, they would have just licensed the patents at zero cost to anyone in Africa with an mRNA printer[0], and then lobby the government to suspend patent protection so the laggards couldn't get a competitive advantage with a proprietary vaccine.

Things like ESG scores are offered because people don't want to invest in oil companies and investment brokers can make more money if they offer that option to people who would otherwise not have invested in the stock market. This is free-market capitalism working "as intended" - people see the long-term risks of bad environmental management and divest themselves from it.

I have no idea what "DIE" means or how it has catastrophically hurt Disney profits.

IRC works... if all you want to do is send basic text messages back and forth like it's still 1995.

That's not what I want. I want modern features like text formatting, links, images, file sharing (don't mention DCC), threads, linking to messages, persistent history, and even emoji reactions.

And when I say "modern" I mean "modern relative 1995 which is where IRC proponents are still stuck".
You're kind of missing the point. The Chinese government has unlimited social control. Even if there was some sort of written law in China requiring judicial oversight, that wouldn't limit social control because the judiciary is just a rubber stamp.
I have a really bad feeling about this technique.

Change your webcam output to 3 fps, mumble something about a bad connection, and Bob's your uncle.

But more fundamentally:

If I am deepfaking my appearance on video call, I have full control of my machine. I thus can (with negligible lag) just grab the screen content. Once I have that, it's really not too much work to write a filter projecting this screen onto the deepfake image.

In other words: as a 'security by obscurity' method this might have worked for a while, with this now being public knowledge, I expect deepfake software to defeat this within the year, as this really is not a computationally or architecturally demanding change. It is ultimately just a filter, corresponding to screen content, mirrored and super-blurred. That shouldn't have any discernible lag with a modern computer.
Pressing it 5 times does the same (and starts an emergency call countdown if you have that enabled). Also, removing the SIM also locks it out.

> I don't understand why you compared USDC's return a savings account

First, not just "USDC". I was describing the process of being a liquidity provider, which involves a token pair.

Second, the fact that I compared with a savings account does not mean that I am saying that the risks are the same. I used savings account because I wanted to illustrate that this is something that can be done holding only "stabletokens", i.e, without speculating on the value of the token itself. I could've used money markets or fx funds, the idea would be the same.

> Not to be pedantic (...) The opportunity goes lower as more people use it. Still sounds like arbitrage to me.

Imagine you have an ice cream stand and you start making good money because you find a nice spot by the beach. Some days you are selling close to 100% of your stock, some days you even need to go get more at the supplier. Some of your competitors find out and move their trucks next to you. Nobody changed their prices, and the ice cream being sold by all of you are all of equivalent quality. Now, the street as a whole is still a "good" spot, the customers are still spending the same amount of money as before, but you are not making as much money because now you are splitting the customer base with the other guys.

Is that "arbitrage"? I certainly wouldn't call it that. There was at first some information asymmetry, but calling every asymmetry an "arbitrage opportunity" seems like a stretch to me.
Even the most ardent Christian biblical scholars admit the overwhelming majority of writings claimed to be 1st century are much later forgeries. They have picked out a few scraps they have not been able to prove were forged, and based everything on those.

But the most favored bit of positive evidence is a single paragraph that everybody agrees was badly doctored up. They have "reconstructed" what they think the original must have actually said. But the text before and after it would flow neatly one to the next without it.

Next best is a line in Paul where he mentions somebody is Jesus's brother.

Ask HN: Where are all the senior front end engineers?
Anecdotally, our company has been struggling to hire senior FE (web) engineers. I've heard from friends that their companies are also struggling to hire senior FE engineers.

A few hypotheses:

* FE engineering has gotten a bad rap over the past years ([insert joke about web dev])

* Most companies don't have interesting FE work (add a button?)

Curious if others have had similar problems, or if my personal observations don't properly represent the true state of things

> I am sure they'd get a much better response rate if they only built a single prototype that delivers whatever miniscule amount of "perpetual" energy.

Think it through:

You're given the concept of how to create free energy and you understand you can easily become a multi-billionaire (or rather: one of many, given the market size at stake).

Would you reveal your prototype before you are even sure you can serve the entire market with your production facilities?

If you do this, you would give your competitors (which is basically: the entire world) a head start. You would let them know that it works, but you would not be ready to sell. Why shoot yourself in the foot? It makes no sense. You would reveal that it works once your mass production facility is already producing at high speed.

EDIT: The logic of why it works is given transparently. If you've passed high school, you should be able to understand it.

One of the best planning exercises I've heard is asking every attendee to think of a way the suggested plan could go awry.

There is a section in the post exactly about that. Let me quote here:

> What influence does this partnership give Shopify over Ruby Central?
> This was an important consideration in Ruby Central moving forward the partnership. After discussion with Shopify and amongst the Ruby Central directors, the agreement was formulated as a donation without strings. Both parties have made it clear that usage of the donation is at the discretion of Ruby Central. As a good steward of the Ruby community, Ruby Central plans to disclose how the funds were used both for full transparency on the partnership as well as to highlight the work that was done.

Giorgio Sardo, General Manager of Apps, Partners, and Store at Microsoft, has since clarified the company's intent [1][2] and committed to look into clarifying the policy. The currently posted policy (7.16) does not take effect until July 16, 2022.

The goal of this policy is to protect customers from misleading listings. Thanks for feedback, we will review to make sure the intent is clear" (https://twitter.com/gisardo/status/1544728548241448960)

This might get downvoted but it's actually true. If you're logged into iCloud, even with all features disabled, things like your call history and email recipient history (regardless of whether you're using iCloud Mail) are uploaded for example.
Your comparison is still flawed. Market cap is the value of the company in the eyes of its investors, which in theory factors in current assets, current profits, and future expectation of profits. You compared that to the net worth of a single individual, which accounts for nothing but current assets.

That said, you weren't all that far off. Based on Shopify's revenue of $4.6 billion and an average household income of $67k, this is equivalent to a donation of $14.57.

I still argue that the presence of this kind of negativity in every thread about corporate donations is toxic. Corporations don't donate to FOSS nearly as often as they should, and there's no harm in giving them some credit on the rare occasions when it happens.
>In the long term cigarette adoption was falling to under 5% in high-school/college kids. Juul reversed the trend and the majority started using nicotine. If we lose 7 years of people getting addicted, we can save the next 21.

You're conflating two things: cigarettes and nicotine. With a lot of propaganda, repressive sin taxes, and the development of substitutes; the US managed to lower the cigarette smoking rate since the 60s. Why do you think these techniques are even still relevant and will work the same on nicotine substitutes? That seems to be what you are using to support the ban.

Also, this is a "for the children," argument.

>Plus, it's not eCigs that are being banned. It's Juul.

Ya that's the weird thing. The shelves are filled with competitors, have they all "proven their products are safe?" I'm assuming not. Are they going to be subject to the same outright ban? Is Juul just a test balloon for further bans, or is it being made an example of? The FDA is known for regulatory capture, is it just an issue of money? Weird stuff.

There are some easy fixes to the things I described - like adding a list of offices and floor numbers above the touchpads, or adding a phone signal boosting indoors antenna.

Apart from that, the first thing I wondered when I moved in was "oh, as a resident, does that mean I just get a keyfob I can wave at this screen that knows I live on the X-th floor?". That's also feasible, to the degree that the Wikipedia article linked above refers to this.

The problem with all these fixes is of course that they all cost more than $0.

The problem is that popular frameworks like Bootstrap and Bulma still don't support CSS Grid (they use flexbox only for layout).

It's ironic that developers have rightly complained how cumbersome CSS layout has been in the past. Now we have CSS Grid - and yet developers still aren't using it.

iOS 16: Clownfish
By the time GTK5 arrives Wayland will probably be old enough to drive or maybe even drink in the US. And, as much as I hate to say it, I believe it will still not be omnipresent in the Linux desktop.

I really want to see Wayland move forward and succeed, but there are so few companies injecting money on it, they get to dictate how things move. Red Hat is one of the main contributors, and they only seem to care about Gnome working on Wayland (as much as I don't like their direction, I can't really blame them for following it, it just sucks that I don't like the product they're developing). The landscape is extremely fragmented and everybody who is not on the Gnome garden will suffer a lot.

I really wish some other non-Gnome-favoring company would find a reason to dump a lot more money into Wayland and help move it forward in the not-only-gnome-favorable path. This is not a thing that will move forward without full-time workers. X has always had a lot of paid people contributing to it.

Mistakes, yes. 300 years? No. 300 years, including the Carolingian Dynasty, the expansion of Islam (i.e. The Battle of Tours), the Norse expansion (eventually leading to the domination of Europe by a bunch of guys named Norman)? Nope, no so much. And that's before you start looking at Islamic, Indian, and Asian data.

And then there's radiometric dating and dendrochronology, which are chaotic in their own right, but 300 years? Nah.

Weirdly, I was just reading Lynn White's Medieval technology and social change (1966), discussing the introduction of the stirrup and the heavy plow (as opposed to the scratch plow), both of which happened in this period. There's little in the way of good dates, but some very big changes such as the move from individual family subsistence farms to large, ridge-and-furrow strips and Charles Martel's redistribution of church lands to his followers, introducing true heavy cavalry and the feudal system. (Note: may be a bit out of date with modern research.)

> the US Code literally says almost all able bodied 17-45 y/o males are in an unorganized militia

The US Code's definition of a word won't affect most judges' perspective on an amendment since the US Code was published about 140 years after the Second Amendment was ratified. It's an interesting footnote but not much more.

> If you're deferring to Supreme Court, you know the modern interpretation is that it is the individual right of the people

See this op-ed from 6 attorneys general in '92:

> For more than 200 years, the federal courts have unanimously determined that the Second Amendment concerns only the arming of the people in service to an organized state militia; it does not guarantee immediate access to guns for private purposes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1992/10/03/i...

Really, what you're espousing as factual is utterly the crux of the entire Second Amendment debate, and it wasn't until Emerson in 2001, and the Supreme Court's subsequent ruling in 2008 in Heller, that your view even really had precedent. Before 2001, all federal circuit courts that ruled on the issue had adopted the collective right approach. 21 years is not a lot of time compared to 200 years.

That's not to say you're wrong – these are interpretations – but rather that yours is but one interpretation, and case law could change on a dime depending on future court makeups.

There's a further interpretation between ours that finds that while individuals do have a right to bear arms, they are permitted to only do so "if needed for military purposes," i.e. as part of a militia. This was one that even Breyer, who just retired, held.

While that would annoy everyone, it might also cause some to join your fight and

You are correct - in fact I was driven on the issue only because it was being enforced on me. Wide spread enforcement would be a catalyst for change. Imagine if the police decided that they were going to setup photo radar equipment and ticket every car going 1mph over. Do a few million on those and all of a sudden the speed limits and how they are set would be at question.

Amazon has been doing that for quite some time (many years), for products where they estimate it’ll be the less costly option.
I think warranty process, whether it's sold by Amazon vs fulfilled by them (the latter being charged for return shipping, likely) and whether they think it's "actually OK and can be resold" all factor into it.
