When you are a young company you want to stand out, you want to have personality. You are disruptive, championing some new way of doing things.

When you are more mature (or at least want to seem like it) you adopt more mature brand language.

No more the volatile, brash youth with risky new ideas. This is a trusted brand, for adults.
What IDE are you using? Almost all of them have either vim mode or a vim plugin. I love vim, but I almost never use it directly. I usually use JetBrains IDE with vim plugin. Best of both worlds.
> I don't think they were thinking about reusable rocket engines at that point in time.

I think early on, the primary focus for rocket research was for missiles, and you don’t really care about reuse in those.
I had a Linux desktop running Manjaro circa 2014-2017. From late 2019 - early 2022 I used my Lemur Pro with PopOS full time as my main machine, 8+ hours a day.

I would entirely disagree with the statement that my understanding of linux desktop is out of date. That is, unless you consider using Linux Desktop in early 2022 out of date.

You say that linux is a totally open operating system. Yeah… if you know the command line. That is kinda my point. It isn’t great for people unless they are computer power users. I’ve been a Linux user for almost 2 decades, I’ve tried everything under the sun. I run Linux servers all day every day for work. I know how it is.

Sure… you can get your grandpa to use PopOS by saying “only press this website and email icon and you’ll be fine”, and I agree with that. Give my Lemur Pro to my wife, who can use either Windows or Mac, she would be like “how do I <insert some random thing that she is used to doing on a consumer OS>, and when the answer starts with “open terminal”, she would look at me like I am an insane person.

Mac and Linux are as secure (or not) as you make them. Literally neither one is that much more or less secure than the other one.

If you wanna field calls from your family teaching them how to run a Linux desktop, more power to you. As for me, I’ll be getting my family members a PC or Mac (their choice) and calling it a day.
But tech workers don't need unions, right. Must be fun for twitter employees to completely powerless spectators with no seat at the negotiating table while the lunatic has a chance at becoming their new King and turning their labour in to an election-swinging doomsday machine at the end of human civilisation.

But hey, we've got beanbags and a playstation.
It's not really that.

Eastern Europe had to continue with phage therapies because they didn't have great access to antibiotics, which have many superior properties. Phage was used in the Western world, but early versions had serious purification issues, where people were getting killed by bacterial endotoxins present in the solutions.

It's not really "lost" as much as a readily obvious alternative was present in one setting and not the other.
It's a little nuts for a message board to simultaneously say "the only way you'll get a good raise is to get a different job, power to the workers" and "we punish jobhopping when we hire". We're the ones hiring! It's up to us!

From https://www.statista.com/statistics/970920/monetizable-daily... that figure of 1.9M is rather less than 2% of their MDAU figure, and less than the MDAU growth in almost any quarter. So more of a correction than a revolution.
I don't even see the above in the tweet thread, but i think its pretty obviously true that the first sale doctrine doesn't make it illegal for shopify to ask more about your business and where you are getting your products from. They don't need any excuse to ask that, they are allowed to ask their customers anything they want.
Agreed, it feels like a good trade-off between those two instruments, something that fits right in between. I haven’t gotten used to doing chords on mine, but for melodies it is amazing, if you need MIDI. The keyboard can’t compare. Slap a Vangelis brass preset on it and you’re golden.

The notice of termination said that Twitter has violated Section 6.4 and 6.11

> Section 6.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

> Upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to the representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (“Representatives”) of Parent reasonable access (at Parent’s sole cost and expense), in a manner not disruptive in any material respect to the operations of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice throughout the period commencing on the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, to the properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to such Representatives all information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may reasonably be requested in writing, in each case, for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

> Section 6.11 Financing Cooperation.

> (a) The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Representatives to, at Parent’s sole expense, provide any reasonable cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in writing in connection with (i) the arrangement of the Bank Debt Financing and any other debt financing expressly contemplated by the Bank Debt Commitment Letter...

This argument is saying that Twitter is not holding up it's end of the Merger Agreement by not providing (sufficient/useful) information and not cooperating with debt financing (by not providing information). They give examples like rate limits on developer APIs etc.

So the kernel of the question is: is Twitter providing information to the satisfaction of Merger Agreement?

I don't know the answer to that, but if is "no", would that be grounds for terminating the deal? That seems a bit extreme to me. To me a reasonable ruling would sound something like "Twitter has X days to provide all the information requested and then Musk has to perform the purchase".
It's definitely easier to discount pricing than it is to increase dynamically.

The wholesale store functionality has customer based price lists. I've also added products to cart with a discount amount as line item property, which is then picked up and discounted by line item script. Some concern there with people manipulating it but I think it's pretty theoretical and there are ways to combat that. Both those require Plus though.

They announced the new backend pricing API/web assembly script thing a couple weeks ago that seems like it will solve this issue for real.

Similarly to how the subscription stuff was pretty janky with apps until the selling plan stuff. That said, it got the job done even if it wasnt ideal, and now they have a good solution. I prefer that model to just rolling out a bunch of half baked features.

Responding more to the parent than you now, but in most cases if a business claims to critically need some specific feature, I wonder if they are not just married to the specific solution they have in mind and not the underlying problem. But if they really do need a specific thing, then certainly looking for the platform that offers it makes sense.
IMHO the simplest explanation is that style is cyclical, and we've entered into a minimalist, almost brutalist, period and these brands are simply skating to where the puck is.

Will this design trend last? Probably not but doing a rebrand to freshen things up every few years is cheap enough, while the value in being "current" is very much worth it.

A lot of those logos looked old fashioned and almost early 2000s in comparison, which tech forward folks probably don't care about, but it's subtly picked up by the average consumer.

You'll notice this even for companies that haven't changed their brand in ages like Apple. All of Apple's branding and presentation style has changed in similar ways over the past few years.

Your Console, Your Cartridge, You Choose? Nintendo Faces a Challenge
Phage comes up a lot here - it seems to be on of HN's favorite biology topics.

I have a deep and abiding fondness for phage, but they're not quite as awesome as they seem at first glance. From the perspective of an infectious disease epidemiologist who has been super-interested in phage for my whole career (literally tried to get a job out of undergrad with a phage therapeutics startup):

1) There's no such thing as a "broad spectrum" phage. They're organism specific, and that means not only would you need to keep a phage library on hand, but you'd have to do a lot of diagnostic tests. That's going to be both expensive and tricky. There are treatment guidelines for things like sepsis right now that are basically un-doable with phage therapy because of the time it takes to tune a phage library.

2) Phages are living things. Not only is that a weird regulatory framework to be in for a drug, but it also means that you need to be able to keep phage alive. In contrast, antibiotics are inert.

3) Phage therapy is also relatively new in the West (after being abandoned for some very real, very serious safety concerns back in the day), which means there's just less of a R&D infrastructure behind it.

There have been people working on commercializing phage therapy since I was in undergrad (I'm now a tenured professor). The problem is it's hard, and antibiotics are so much better as a treatment that there's kind of a ceiling on the excitement that they can generate, especially when trying to treat at scale.
I wonder what the unintended consequences might be.
(disclaimer: lead brand manager, been at the table of a lot of the meetings where these logo changes happen.)

There's a few different reasons (especially depending on the company) why that these happen, but I personally think it boils down to two unintuitive quasi-psychological reasons.

- When suits are fumbling around looking for a new shiny project that'll give them a sense of "legacy" and their fingerpints all over (that won't affect immediate profits), somewhere in marketing and brand is usually the first place they'll grab. If wins, fantastic, they've secured their legacy both in a career-spanning sense and at the company itself with a bonus. If it fails disastrously, easy enough to quietly switch back to the old and to save face by tackling a different project.

- Sort of relatedly, a lot of marketing suits hate feeling "left out" of trends; it's something I loathe about the industry, the hyper-focus and optimization of being at the crest of new trends (when arguably they're usually shittier than the previous ones). Oftentimes their entire salary / sense of purpose of being at the job is tied into with presenting the latest and greatest, and insecure designers will be too happy to be enablers.

(My opinion may be a minority of the industry itself as if it were me, we'd be back to 90's era logos for the sheer zany quality.)
Desperation to look "fresh," I guess. But often it's a huge failure.

Sony changed its logo in the '80s, I believe, and wisely reversed their decision not long after: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/d/de/It%2...

Pioneer, unfortunately, stuck with its shitty redesign: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2c/6f/64/2c6f64d5649f8b553d7b...
I had this exact system. If anyone is interested in removing it:

It has a bunch of "fake wires" acting as taps into the wiring harness, and it detects if you remove a tap and then trips trip a relay where it cuts the ignition wire that is rerouted through the unit. So I removed the device, and put the ignition wire back together and the car was back to normal. I think if OP's car still has warning lights go off, he likely nicked some of the other wires inadvertently, or broke them while pulling the taps out.
Thanks for being so responsive - I'm on Safari version 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.8), on Mac OS 12.2.1 (21D62)
If it's common it cannot rally be a big deal. Also drop everything to investigate? Sure why not, if you are at Amazon and you don't mind the culture at least you are probably getting paid for your conformity.

But in the end it's 100% just a gimmick, the machine marches on, even if there are structural/process changes resulting from these emails overall they doesn't have much to show for it since 2018. And if it's just a support channel, then Jeff could just look at a random sample of the support tickets and not fuck up the sprints of various teams...
I say this in another comment, but this has been The Next Big Thing For Infectious Disease since I was an undergrad.

Ask HN: Why does “Hey Siri on my iPhone” activate Siri on my iPad?
I have multiple Apple devices with Siri enabled on all of them. But I don't know why we can't ask Siri on any specific device to activate itself. Whenever I say "Hey Siri", it activates on a random device. For example, at my Mac, it opens Siri on my iPhone which is farther away. It should be fairly easy to implement a feature that activates Siri on any specific device. Or am I missing something?
1) Sure, but this wouldn't give him any protection. On the contrary, there would be a ton of extra liability and exposure if he were to refuse to process a levy.

Shares don't need to be held in a brokerage. There's always a process to identify and seize the property in question.

2) There's no such thing. TSLA is a US public company, traded on US exchanges. It's simply not possible for shares of the company to exist outside of US jurisdiction.
Everyone has said something they don't mean out of spite. Politicians and billionaires are held to a higher standard by their fans/haters, but I really think they shouldn't be.
how many people know the address though?
Yeah but some things pierce the white label veil.

Grocery stores have been out of all sorts of products this year and the normal response isn’t “this is an outrageous failing of Kroger” it’s “Kroger isn’t able to source Wheat Thins because of various supply chain issues.” Same story with everything in the tech sector.

If you went to McDonald’s and they couldn’t process your order because Visa banned you then that’s not really on them. Or in a more individual level you probably don’t get told “well you should have picked a better car supplier” when you call off work because your car breaks down. Customers are also pretty understanding when shows or channels get yanked due to contract disputes.

The bigger issue seems to be that it wouldn’t have mattered who they went with and any financial institution would have yanked them after getting a chargeback from their bank.
>Wooldridge holds out hope that a “wiser,” “remoralized” meritocracy, cleansed of nepotism and elite hoarding, is still possible. He points to the success of Asian countries like China and Singapore newly committed to their own forms of merit-based hierarchies.

China is held up as an example meritocracy? And how can you even have nepotism in a meritocracy? Are you talking about false meritocracy, or something that you are calling a meritocracy but instead is not based on merit?
I’m in a white and homogenous area of the us. Cash does indeed rule every thing around me. There’s not a problem that can’t be solved with cash. Kill a few kids drunk driving or shooting recklessly? Cash in the right pockets and the evidence will be inadmissible and the case goes kaput. Want some more privacy? Your neighbors might suddenly find the neighborhood inhospitable with cash in the right hands. Want your kid to start for a team or graduate? There’s palms out. Very few people are principled enough in this economy to refuse a bribe. If you want to remain principled I suggest you think through your price before you’re asked if $1,000, some blow, and a cheap lap dance is enough and you end doing more for free when you’re extorted.

There’s a tendency for sheltered and privileged people to be aloof to the corruption all around them.
Yeah this is something a lot of people overlook, in addition to accessibility.

One of the more interesting studies I saw at IDWeek a year or two ago was phage/antibiotic combination therapy, which improves both. Basically, the bacteria being able to out evolve both of them at the same time is substantially reduced, and the introduction of phage can improve a bacteria's susceptibility to antibiotics.
To both replies, I agree contempt of court is a thing. I misspoke.

What I mean is, the remedy for non-compliance with contracts, is fiscal, seizure, penalties of thus nature.

The goal of civil court is not the state punishing, but instead, laying out compensation, for damages, to the harmed.

There is no contempt of court for not paying these damages.
> If shopify is not holding up its end, there are already legal avenues to compel them.

The issue is that you can't use the standard, low cost venue for small b2b disputes (this one was over $7,000): the local small claims court. Most contracts will stipulate a convenient venue to the author of the contract (which may cost more than $7k to litigate if you are out of town). Federal court requires a bigger injury and won't hear your case. In many jurisdictions, business cannot self-represent in small claims, so even if it is available, it's expensive. You end up hiring outside counsel, even if you have lawyers as employees which raises costs a lot, and opens up the possibility of a suit where the awarded legal fees dwarf the amount in dispute.
That's probably true, but the other thread has over 1300 comments, so a merge would be a monster.

Attorneys are probably the place to start a telcom.

A telcom typically requires access to public resources like right of ways and airwaves, and hence their are regulatory requirements to obtaining entitlement.

And there are contracts for interconnection with other network operators.

Contracts for vertical and conventional real-estate — so you need another stable of attorneys for that, too.

Which means you need pockets so deep that cost doesn’t matter…e.g. a government contract.

Which means you need a government that wants you to do what you are trying to do.

Otherwise you won’t get the avigation easements and similar things your towers and wires need.

Good luck.

There are many things wrong with the Swedish system, but what they really managed well is to reduce the amount of prescribed antibiotics.

Matt apparently authored books on The Sopranos and Mad Men. And according to him in the twitter thread, HBO helped setup interviews and such for the book. If it has access to HBO like that to write the book, if they didn't like him selling soap they would probably raise it with him directly. Not go to shopify.
What are you trying to assert is false about this viewpoint? Specific performance is actually a kind of legal remedy and it can in fact be ordered by a court. It might be one of the last tools in a judge's toolbox, but I don't think it's anywhere near a "silly angle" after a quick googling of "specific performance".
