> As a kid I thought I would love VR. And even as solid as the modern experiences have gotten, spending more than 15 minutes in a headset is nauseating, and there's so much ceremony to get set up and you pretty much are expected to stand while playing. I'd rather veg out on the couch with a PS4 controller, I guess?

Yeah VR tech needs to become much more seamless before it impacts the market. But we can see that as headsets get better, a larger market segment is willing to take part. Every upgrade in experience and ergonomics opens up another tier of user.

Why wouldn't it benefit? the idea would to be prevent giving a handout to the shareholders through unethical means. When you sign a contract with someone you are bound by the contract, for some reason you and most company executives are having trouble understanding that. They all (you) think, "if I can take someone else's money and run, then I should, my word and agreements be damned." That anathema to a civil society.

I'll address your disingenuous reply to me above over here:

Stock buybacks and executive bonuses are things you give out when the company is doing well -- through its own means, not when you get charity from the government because you screwed up for 30 years and failed to invest and innovate. If intel which had record profits last year and revenues in excess of $70billion needs a handout because it doesn't have the money to invest in the US, then it shouldn't be allowed to reward it's owners and failed executives until the US government gets a return on its investment.

It takes 5 years to bring a fab online and 5 years to see the economic impact of that new fab, so 10 years before they're allowed to start rewarding their owners again. Or return the money early and then you can do stock buybacks, and phat exec bonuses.

No. This part of the rules only applies to EU businesses. If an EU citizen deals with a US business, the US business still has to follow GDPR, but not the export rules. EU businesses do have to follow said rules.
Your points are very good, I would have said the same thing.

The cynic in me thinks it is not just the Senate. How much money has House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s family invested in US chip makers in the last few months? Quite a lot of money…

I remember when the US government stopped the $50 million/year breakfast for poor kids program - too much money. That is when we were attacking Iraq, and spending $50M every 20 minutes of so in order to pump money into political donors like the ‘defense’ industry and energy industries.

Off topic, but I laugh when I hear democrats or republicans talk like their political party cares for them. Absurd. The DNC and RNC are themselves profit driven entities.
True, although they at least approved this monstrosity. It looks to be nothing to do with Oculus though.

Oculus software is by and large well done in my experience, from the hand tracking to mapping out the layout of your room and its furniture.

Agreed... in the end, the "climate change" message is really about pollution... so should just talk about what can be its' own isolated issue that everyone sees, recognizes and cares about.

Doom spreaders sound like quacks in general. It doesn't matter if it's Satan or Climate change... it just breeds skepticism. Keep the message on message. This is why a lot of people stopped/don't support the EPA and the Green movements.

You can see, smell, taste and feel pollution. It's bad.. and even then, it's really bad in places that we frankly don't control. And we're shipping our waste overseas to be dealt with corruptly or worse, not at all.

In my lifetime, the Grand Canyon went from being able to see across well on any given day... to a haze the obscures the other side... rolling in from California.

Well, this is kind of the point. You may or may not remember that mere weeks before Apple rather forcefully encouraged people to set up 2FA, numerous female celebrities had their accounts breached and rather personal images leaked to the world.

When you were prompted to set up 2FA, you were given warnings (on multiple screens, no less) that no-one can help you recover the account if you lose the details. I believe there was also a single chance to save recovery codes, though I'm not sure if the process has changed in the time that has since passed.

This one's on you. Apple support aren't going to get you back in to an account for which you cannot provide the security answers. Those were your proof that you are indeed you.

It's good if we no longer have a deficit, but I have no illusions that that situation will last; Argentina's perverse anti-protectionist foreign exchange policies that protect foreign companies from Argentine competition are still in place and show no sign of easing.

I don't understand why you would call the renationalization of YPF "protectionist". Did it somehow lower YPF's cost of oil drilling, subsidizing Argentina's oil exports, or at least reducing Argentina's oil imports (we are now a net importer)? I would think rather the contrary: by increasing the risk to investors and lenders, it will raise YPF's effective interest rate for the necessary capex, increasing the cost of Argentina's oil exports. What's your reasoning?

For reference, "protectionism" refers to government policies that have the effect of increasing the profits of domestic producers by "protecting" them from foreign competition, or political advocacy of such policies.

I don't understand what you're saying about "destructive real economy policies" vs. "money printing" and 20% interest rates. Can you elaborate? I would say the Argentine government's policy of printing lots of money is a destructive real-economy policy that has caused interest rates to be very high, because interest rates have to be higher than the rate of inflation in order for lending to be profitable.

Depending on the jurisdiction you might end up paying quite a lot of money. Potentially lethal boobytraps left in derelict buildings are mostly illegal in the US[1] and in other western countries shooting a thief is generally illegal unless you can prove fear of bodily harm since you are escalating a situation from damage to property to damage to body. While the US is rife with stand your ground laws - most of the rest of the western world finds using potentially lethal force in response to property damage abhorrent.

No, not even close to the same degree. If you told all your friends you sell ground beef at the farmers market but it was actually 50% beef 50% horse are they going to praise you for your cleverness or think you're an asshole?

That issue is why live markets exist cause no one there trusts the meat to be what what they say it is unless they can literally see it.
The federal government is a lot less likely to be one-party than a state. We haven't had a same-party trifecta for over a decade.

Also, states draw the federal district lines, so generally the Dems and Repubs both do it and the end result is less lopsided.

Django 4.1 Release Notes
There are countless examples of anticompetitive conduct going all the way back to prehistory. The legal vocabulary around it pretty extensive.

Since this is HN though maybe these will ring a bell :

* Intel's rebate program (https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2010/08/...) which ended up with a $1.2B payment to AMD

* Microsoft's notorious antitrust case (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....)

* AT&T abusing its monopoly status and being broken up (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._AT%26T)

Honestly this is such an obvious notion that the fact that you're asking for examples is suspect on its own.
That's a neat 2U case design, and will fit in some very shallow wall-mount network switch cabinets.

For installing outside of a machine room/closet/center, if you're using 2U of height, you might also fit a PSU with a larger and quieter fan, since all the Flex PSUs I've had come with noticeably loud fans. (I replace them with Noctuas, but it isn't a fun kind of soldering, IMHO.)

The components from the build would also fit in a Supermicro 1U short-depth chassis, especially if you can go a little deeper in your cabinet. (My new K8s server got a used Supermicro 1U chassis for ~$60 shipped, including a PSU. In the photo on https://www.neilvandyke.org/kubernetes/ , it's the 1U immediately below the 4U.)

Exactly.

It's not about the kid in Palo Alto who doesn't need it, but gets it anyway.

It's about the kid who lives in poverty and should get it, but doesn't, because their family didn't properly submit forms A65, B39, and F12 proving their annual income meets the ever-changing requirements.

Giving a benefit to everyone is by far the simplest and most effective way to be sure no one falls through the bureaucratic cracks (though it's probably more accurate to call them gaping chasms than 'cracks').
The truth is, security is hard. IT/CorpSec are asked to implement policy drawn up by lawyers/auditors/compliance specialists with limited insight into the real needs of the organisation. Asking them to make complicated exceptions that they don't understand and can't control puts them into an untenable position with respect to hard requirements that are handed to them as absolutes. At the other end, this often filters through as decisions that look utterly nonsensical (you can use Zoom but not something else, etc).

Meanwhile, for a developer, telling people they can't install and run tools they need to do their job is also untenable.

Like others I've come to the opinion that you almost need separate computers and completely isolated networks to do this properly. If you are doing things right, there should be very little need for developer equipment to ever connect into any place that sensitive data resides. And consequently there should be very little need to lock down developer equipment. Unfortunately not many places can architect things that well, nor build that type of nuance into their security policies. Among other things, you need to invest a lot of work in creating fully representative non-sensitive test data so that developers can do their work in a realistic setting.
James Lovelock: Influential green thinker dies aged 103
I agree with everything you said. The system forbids doings things right. And I don't see any way out of it. The only realistic solution is to leave the country, which is what most that have the opportunity end up doing.
Ask HN: Fastest money you've made with software development?
Just curious to see what developers have come up with to make a quick buck or so.
It's funny how things like this surprise people, as if the legal system is a trustworthy blob on their architecture graph. One fundamental thing about it is that it's made up of different people and a huge amount of people, all with differing levels of competence (so not only is it untrustworthy, but it can't even consistently do whatever its goals are) as opposed to having any coherent goal or ideology.
> Ok so then they were considered to be a legitimate threat?

You put informants to know what's happening. They knew they did not carry weapons (only very few did).

> The history of domestic standoffs does not support this claim.

Oh yeah? When was the country taken over by a small group of people in the past?

> There absolutely was a risk (of a coup d'etat)

Please explain me how things would have turned after more than a day, and how the country would have been run by a bunch of guys with viking hats with 300 million other people not doing anything about it.
County level would be an improvement in some places, because school districts can actually be balkanized even smaller than that.
If our minds are like computer neural networks, then we can only achieve sentience by priming an existing "human person" neural model with data, which is how every human has worked.

This rings hollow when all of America's major partners are pumping massive subsidies to their domestic companies to win. Case and point SK is subsidizing their Fabs to the tune of $450 Bn.[1]

> For the research part (figuring out something previously impossible)? No need to incentivise, the kick of figuring it out is enough to motivate people, just provide UBI so the nerds can tinker.

I think this is only true to a certain extent. We have reached a point where a lot of new innovation and invention is only possible with a truly tremendous amount of financial investment. No amount of tinkering in your garage is going to bring about the next advancement in EUV lithography. You need an entity with a lot of capital and a strong incentive to bring many of these things about. That can come from either the private sector or the government, but it cannot realistically be pulled out of thin air.

Personally I don't care they're just copying a rival. I do not have/use Tiktok and do easily spend a good chunk of time looking at the "reels" in IG. Even if most of these turn out to be direct lifts out of Tiktok, I'm not about to "switch" or even open an account over there, I already have the content over here. I assume that's part of the strategy to not hemorrhage users, in my case it works.

The best suggestion I've seen for handling security questions is to use the same stupid response for all of them. Mum's maiden name? 'waffles'. City of birth? 'waffles'. Brand of your first car? 'waffles'. No-one's going to glean that from the internet, and it's going to be difficult for you to forget once you've formed the habit.
I led with "just two mutations" because as far as I can tell, all of Worobey's or Pekar's reasoning starts from the assumption that there was no significant cryptic (unsampled) human spread. If the two lineages were tens of SNPs apart, then I believe that would be a reasonable assumption--it would be hard to explain how the virus could spread in humans long enough to accumulate that many mutations without causing enough sickness and mortality for someone to notice.

But with just two SNPs, I believe that assumption is invalid. So while I believe those authors have correctly observed that we're missing part of the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2, I don't see how they decided whether that's unsampled spread in animals vs. unsampled spread in humans, except under that incorrect assumption.

I hadn't read the final paper, but I'm looking at it now. I don't see any new points that don't depend on that assumption yet, though. Do you?
Been a customer since 2004. Shared hosting for most of that time, VPS since 2018 or so. I'm thrilled with their service, and feel like they've always had their act together. I only use them to self-host personal stuff like FreshRSS, pastebins, and fossil, though; nothing professional or high-scale.
Maybe he could have worded it better, but what he's saying rings true to me, an Argentinian living in Argentina.

Note I mostly disagree on politics with 99% of all other Argies posting here (let's say the kind of Argies who post on HN are self-selecting for the kind of politics I disagree with), but this bit is true: we are, at least in Buenos Aires, a selfish, cheating people. Nobody ever in Argentina thinks the rules and laws apply to us, we want to take every advantage we want, pull whatever lever from friends in useful positions, but we always, ALWAYS, complain when somebody else bends or breaks the rules.

"The politicians are all corrupt!" -- but never me.

"That guy drives terribly and jumped a red light!" -- but never me.

"He's cheating me on the price of this!" -- but I never do this myself.

"My employer is exploiting me!" -- but I, of course, always legally employ cleaning ladies for my own house.

This defines our national identity and it needs to be said.
>> Mozilla (of course)

Mozilla is a c++ and javascript shop. What do they ship in Rust? How much of Firefox is written in rust for example?

>> Microsoft, Meta, Google/Acrobat, Amazon

Large firms have lots of devs and consequently lots of toy projects. Is their usage of rust more significant than their use of D? I mean Meta was churning out projects in D a while back (warp, flint, etc) and looked like it might be going all in at one point (they even hired one of the leads on D lang).

>> That's practically all of FAANG

Who were we missing? Netflix, they’ve dabbled with D too: https://github.com/Netflix/vectorflow

Don’t misunderstand my point - it’s not that D is more popular than rust, it’s that rust is not used for real work in any significant capacity yet.

Where’s the big project written in rust? Servo and the rust compiler are the only two large rust projects on github.
The filibuster isn’t even dead. Senators can still get up there and talk for as long as they want (aka what the filibustering actually is). The current filibuster rule is basically a senator just saying “yeah I want to filibuster this” and for some reason everyone just goes along with it.

It was legal under the "Privacy Shield" until Schrems II, and is still legal under Standard Contractual Clauses with extra caveats for the US.
In other words, you had opinions outside your job description, and couldn't be a professional and keep them to yourself. It comes as a shock to some people that a corporation is not a democracy, and that yes, that applies to THEM.

The person I was chatting with triggered the password reset mail, and stripped my security questions. As said, I was in exactly the same situation and probably entered random answers to their security questions years ago. When I went through the password reset they set up, I no longer had to enter those security questions. Point is, they're able to remove the additional step of providing answers to the security questions by their customer chat service. Give it some more tries until someone's on the other side willing to do so.
Well that's probably mostly because the corporate tax rate in the united states is lower than many HN commenters taxes, rather than specific Meta policies.

(USA corporate tax rate is 21%, while someone earning $200k in California would pay an effective rate of 33% including Federal, FICA & State taxes).

Besides - the effective paid 17% compares favourably with their competitors and others in the space.

Yes, and addressed in the article:

> ESG suffers from three fundamental problems. First, because it lumps together a dizzying array of objectives, it provides no coherent guide for investors and firms to make the trade-offs that are inevitable in any society. Elon Musk of Tesla is a corporate-governance nightmare, but by popularising electric cars he is helping tackle climate change. Closing down a coalmining firm is good for the climate but awful for its suppliers and workers. Is it really possible to build vast numbers of wind farms quickly without damaging local ecology? By suggesting that these conflicts do not exist or can be easily resolved, ESG fosters delusion.
Do you think we have already seen peak Facebook? Obviously we can't judge from one bad(?) quarter, but from Meta's desperate attempts to copy Tiktok, I think its a slow decline from here.
