Hypotheticals, sure. I’m not familiar with his every crime. Just the big ones.

> Did he hold a gun to their heads and make them hire him? And couldn't their Boards just fire him?

It sounds like the answer to the above questions, for you, is yes. Fraud. Embezzlement. All okay, because the ultimate victims, the shareholders, either didn’t push back better or were further defrauded by a possibly corrupt, possibly incompetent Board. We can’t know either way because the guy up and offed to Beirut, where he sits a fugitive of multiple international arrest warrants.
I posted this on their reddit shortly ago. It's not only sensationalized, I'm gonna guess the knew part of this prior to writing the article. It's easy enough to resolve, you re-verify the domain (assuming they don't know which account was used originally) then you decomission the domain from Microsoft services. Frees it up to be used again bc it's no longer considered a managed organization's domain.

=================================

I work for an IT MSP and can attest what you're seeing is by design and occurs for a technical reason and is a security feature by Microsoft as a means of an organization controlling who can and cannot register accounts claiming to be from an organization or is not.

This means that someone created a Microsoft organization (business) account and verified the domain tutanota.com. Once this is done no one can register a personal account.

On the technical side, Microsoft has Teams highly integrated with Exchange Online. When there manages to be both a business org and personal accounts with the same domain, Microsoft services get tricky. When you "share a file" with someone it may not make it to your account. Could be because it tried to send it to the business org but it didn't find an account so it just fails and the recipient never gets anything. Causes all sorts of problems across the board and sometimes we have to go finding all the personal accounts using the company domain and change the email associated with the personal account.

When you are troubleshooting this, there's two ways to login to Microsoft really, the business/organization side or the consumer/personal side. Now if you happen to be on both by registering for a personal Microsoft acct prior to the organization verifying its domain, then some parts of Microsoft's sites/services make some assumptions as to which one you probably want. To rule out account confusion, I go to https://myworkaccount.microsoft.com or https://account.microsoft.com and login with the appropriate account.

If Tutanota does not using Microsoft for any sort of organizational management, Microsoft single sign on, Azure services, etc, then just contact their customer service to tell them that the domain was verified but you can't find the account associated. They may ask you to do your own verification by adding a txt record. Once you have control of the verified domain, you can go through a process to completely remove the domain from Microsoft services.
This is very much not it. The Stubby team decided early on to use trailers and was combative and obstinate when the Chrome and GFE (reverse proxy) teams tried to explain why doing so would be a bad idea. The use of trailers in gRPC originates in the hubris of one team, not a conspiracy by Google.
For me it's about about a balance of different stimulation levels throughout the day. WFH if you live alone is near constant isolation. WFH if you live with others is near constant exposure to those others. Either of these single-speed lifestyles will wear me down.

When I worked in an open office and lived alone I would sometimes be overstimulated. At least eventually I'd get to go home and recover. A workstation in a library-rules space would have avoided the discomfort altogether though. Eat lunch with my coworkers, have high-bandwidth discussions in meeting rooms, chit-chat when coming up for air by the coffee/snacks/ping-pong, but also be able to retreat to my workstation and focus on code once for the bulk of the day.

Come to think of it, that's what college was like. I would study in the bowels of the library, take breaks in the peripheral food and social spaces where I'd often run into people I knew, and go back to my dorm room at night. That was the life.

I read it almost thirty years ago and its appearances on HN was one of the reasons HN resonated with me in my early days here.

Today’s comments brought my thinking about Jaynes forward.

I don’t think it’s important that his detailed exposition is correct, because his important idea is that the ordinary explanations of consciousness are off the mark in the kind of ways he says they are off the mark.

As one of my bosses used to smugly say, the important thing isn’t that I am right. The important thing is that you are wrong.

From a philosophical standpoint, and that’s the context in which I heard of Jaynes, what matters is his skepticism.

It’s the skepticism that sticks with the people Jaynes sticks to, and it sticks because it is not inconsistent with their beliefs of epistemic fallibility.

To approach his work with the epistemological presumptions of the scientist or historian, necessarily precludes philosophical skepticism.

And for me, miss the important point.

Whoa, "size of a person"! Could you share make/model, or requirements which lead to this selection? Is this cleaned with a shop vac? Does the large size extend the interval between cleanings?

What is the basis of your statement that the factories are never inspected or the products are tested?

I interned at a pharmaceutical company's factory in India for the summer that used to regularly export medications to it's subsidiaries in the western world including United States. The standards are super high, we literally threw away millions of medications due to small uncertainty in a Quality control check.

Besides the local regulations and inspections, a team from FDA regularly visited the factory to audit it for like 10-15 days. Just for one factory. I distinctly remember this as we had a more americanized menu for lunch when the team visited LMAO.

So yeah, when you don't know or are not sure, please don't make statements like "factories are never inspected". It makes it seem like you know something, which you clearly don't.
I see your Seveneves! For me it's Anathem. Though the fact that it's the only Stephenson book I have a hard copy of probably helps with serendipitous rereads of the kind you describe.

I read Seveneves once from the library and wouldn't mind reading it again though.

I've read The Sprawl books (trilogy?), but accidentally did it out of order and separated by years, so it took me an embarrassingly long time to make some connections. I should read them again in order this time!
If you look at human history, desperation always triggered innovation. 120+ years ago people predicted that the streets would soon drown in horse manure. It wasn't averted by introducing horse taxes and auctioning limited-issue passes to leave your estate. It was fixed by transition to cars, that quickly sparked a whole new industry, radically improving the designs one after another.

Similar will happen with climate change. Once we get desperate enough (as in actual crop failures and actual fear of hunger), suddenly, figuring out mitigation and reversing techniques will become more profitable than minting shitcoins, and the humanity will very quickly figure something out.

Currently, the real desperation isn't there yet. There is a lot of fearmongering driven by hunger for power (restricting what others can do is power) or corporate profits (electric cars are a huge business niche that is only competitive due to the climate angle). It is doing its part, but it's akin to driving at half the speed to conserve fuel, while simultaneously having a huge leaky hole in the gas tank. Better than nothing, but won't fully solve the problem.

The best we can do currently is try to not completely forget the real scientific method (experiment -> theorize -> refine -> reproduce -> question -> improve) and the real project management (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely goals with prioritization by cost/reward/risk). We will need those thigs when the shit really hits the fan and they are currently being very rapidly eroded in favor of pledging loyalty to the unquestionable leader and throwing poop at the competing tribe.

To me this sounds like an analogy for fake meat. I don’t care what anyone tells me. Fake meat, including impossible burger and whatever new, hyped up product they come up with taste like garbage. None of it will ever be as good as a real steak. I never want to try another vegan chicken wing again. Some inherently meatless foods are delicious though.

Maybe an electric weed whacker will never compare to a petrol one, but maybe the issue is that the typical suburban manicured lawn is an artifact of the petrol era, and we shouldn’t try to fake it with electric lawn mowers and weed whackers.
This only makes the problem much worse. (Note that I literally reference MSys and Cygwin in my original reply. However, these options are neither ideal for making good Windows binaries nor are they great facsimiles for UNIX. Almost any Makefile needs to be carefully constructed so that MinGW works, especially if you want to support more than just very specific MinGW setups. And there's other downsides I didn't get into, such as licensing problems with winpthreads, and silent dubious behavior like pseudo relocs. I don't recommend using MinGW.)

Even as a Discworld fan, with a good working knowledge of the Disc, AND as a MUD player, I still found the Discworld MUD impenetrable.

Also, and I know I'm being pedantic but I can't help it; the cardinal directions are wrong.

On the Disc, the Ankh runs Hub to Rim and the approved map projection[1] of the Disc position Ankh-Morpork in what we would call the 'South', and on the approved map of just Ankh-Morpork[2], it shows the Ankh running 'North-South', but in the game the Ankh incorrectly runs 'east to west'[3].

This is kind of stunning. They appear to have discovered something like 30 novel (previously unknown) immune cell receptor interactions (Fig 1). Then they built a quantitive model, looked into where these interactions are localized in the body, and lots more beside. A truly ridiculous amount of information for a single paper. This seems to be the 'what's it all about' paragraph in the paper:

> "The immune system is distinctive for being a distributed system. It is not fixed to a single localized organ in the body, but rather is made up of numerous specialized cell types that must adaptably organize their intercellular connections to respond to pathogens and other threats wherever they may appear. We provide a systematic and quantitative view of the cell-surface proteins that enable immune cells to dynamically wire their interactions. The receptor interactions that we report in our network each merit further individualized study to characterize their full roles in health and disease."

For those interested in computational modeling (basically they simulate immune cells circulating freely within the body and interacting based on their receptor types), here's the supplementary description link (pdf), which is enough for a whole paper on its own.

No way being on 5 amp circuit is normal.
Matter of a fact I'd be interested to hear where can you find it in Europe.
I have the 80V Greenworks Pro line of mower and trimmer (blower as well). They're much quieter and do an excellent job. The blower is powerful as hell. I don't know what this guy is talking about. I do my lawn about every two weeks as I live in Florida and it rains a lot.
As someone who wired alot of rs232, I agree that this doesn't make a net reduction in work or confusion.

It even makes one thing worse by using the same rj45 as ethernet, for something other than ethernet. You can (and could in the 80s and 90s) buy idc db9 & db25 which would give you the same crimping convenience while using a connector that is both distinct from ethernet, and actually already pdesent on all the rs232 devices. I did still terminate serial and telcom cables in rj45 patch panels right along side ethernet, but I only considered that a necessity not actually a good thing.

It's maybe kinda sorta neat in the imaginary world where all devices were already wired with right plugs and the right pinout, but not in the world where you have to make all those adapters.

The only situation where it might help would be in some organization that randomly connected modems to modems and then disconnected them and reconnected to printers and terminals, and then swapped around again to some other random connections. What operation ever does that? Maybe a school lab? I never once needed to take a printer that was connected to a computer and connect it instead to a modem or another printer. Everything I ever had to move or change, was only to something equivalent. Maybe moving a printer from a direct connection to inserting a serial ram buffer between the pc & printer, or moving the printer from a direct connection to a print server, or moving a modem from one computer to another computer. The type of cable never needed to change, so a universal cable wouldn't matter.

This ambidextrous thing is kinda nice in theory but really would not have saved me any real time or effort. I'd still have exactly the same effort just in the adapters, only now it's 3 things I have to make and get right and troubleshoot later, instead of one. 2 adapters & a cable instead of a cable.

The part of the system from adpter to adapter is simpler, but the entire system including the adapters is actually worse than the normal way.

At the very least, to give this any justification at all, it has to use a pinout that works with off the shelf ethernet cables, which this pinout doesn't. It does work with flat phone cables, but those suck for long rs232 runs because of no shielding and parallel lines.
Chaining functions _does_ need this though, in current Typescript. The pipe function has to enforce some really complex constraints (inner types between siblings/fn args). There's really no other "correct" way to write this without calling it a day and just doing a generic for different amount of args (<A>, <A, B>, <A, B, C>, etc).

I agree it's complex, but necessary for a utility like this if you want correctness for arbitrary N args

> Most ethnic Russians
> in Ukraine support
> the action too

I think the cause and effect are reversed here: people choose the identity to reflect their political views. So, those who still choose the Russian identity often do so because they support Russia; but it's not a static group, their numbers are dwindling.

I believe that a lot of people who used to consider themselves Russians have now embraced Ukrainian identity to distance themselves from Russia.

The 'ethnic Russians' and 'ethnic Ukrainians' in Ukraine has much more to do with self-identification than with anything else.

(I have an example of my grandfather. Having born near Khabarovsk, he moved to Lviv when he was twenty-some.

He considered himself ethnic Ukrainian, while all his family that stayed in Russia consider themselves ethnic Russians.

They have the same family history: some of their grandparents emigrated from Ukraine, so it wasn't a made-up identity. But it was a choice: my grandpa, living in Ukraine, considered himself ethnic Ukrainian, and his sister in Kamchatka considers herself ethnic Russian.)

'Ethnic Russians' and 'ethnic Ukrainians' are not some stable groups where members of one cannot become members of another. Basically any Ukrainian can claim to be ethnic Russian, and almost any Russian from Ukraine (except perhaps late immigrants — but even those can usually find some Ukrainian roots) can claim to be ethnic Ukrainian.

I don't think such parts exist. After 2014, Ukrainians have had a good chance to see what happens in places conquered by Russia, so Russia is fooling no one: no one would look at Donetsk and say 'nice, I want my city to be like this!'.
