>>gpm: The law is explicit in this case that the attorney client privilege is waived by the attorney not asserting it within 10 days

>Please cite what you are referring to.

So you're misunderstand a number of things here. First, to specifically clear up one explicit part of the law here for you, this is a state case not federal under Texas rules. The specific one here is Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 193.3 [0]:

>(d) Privilege not waived by production. A party who produces material or information without intending to waive a claim of privilege does not waive that claim under these rules or the Rules of Evidence if - within ten days or a shorter time ordered by the court, after the producing party actually discovers that such production was made - the producing party amends the response, identifying the material or information produced and stating the privilege asserted. If the producing party thus amends the response to assert a privilege, the requesting party must promptly return the specified material or information and any copies pending any ruling by the court denying the privilege.

Further, there is explicit case law on this too, here the Texas Supreme Court ruling that inadvertent disclosure waives privilege unless there is an assertion of right within 10 days [1]:

>The attorney-client privilege may also be waived by inadvertent disclosure during litigation, if the disclosure is accompanied by conduct inconsistent with claiming the privilege of confidentiality. "[T]he essential function of the privilege is to protect a confidence that, once revealed by any means , leaves the privilege with no legitimate function to perform." Notwithstanding actual disclosure, however, Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 193.3(d) preserves a claim of privilege if the privilege holder (1) did not intend to waive the privilege and (2) takes prompt action to claim the privilege after "actually discover[ing]" the disclosure was made. Rule 193.3(d)"was designed to ensure that important privileges are not waived by mere inadvertence or mistake." But when inadvertence is coupled with failure to take prompt remedial action after discovering actual disclosure of privileged information, the privilege is waived because inaction under such circumstances is inconsistent with claiming the privilege.

Further, it's not just an automatic blanket thing. A lot of the information here was information that Jones/team were supposed to turn over in discovery. They broke the rules by not doing so and then lying about it. There was also lots of stuff there that wasn't covered by any attorney-client privilege because it had nothing to do with their communications about the case.

FURTHER, when it was brought up, neither Jones nor his lawyer actually objected in court! Which is mindboggling itself. But that too is a waiver.

Anyway plaintiff's attorney notified them, and they didn't assert privilege within the ten day deadline, game over. You're ignorant of the law and unjustified in your anger about this.

Keep in mind this is Revenue for a 50-75 person company. Some of his employees will be payed quite well. If they make 100k, the actual employee costs might be closer to 150k after all the government dues. So his employee costs alone could be around 10 million.

And if his pills really are sourced from the top manufacturer, then his claim of 20% profit margin of "food" might be correct too.

Same thing here in Brazil, but for 7 days. That's a law from 1990, written when "remote buy" mean buying stuff by phone or catalog, but also generically written to allow future technologies. That's up for almost 32 years and have neither prevented online selling from happening nor made stuff unusually expensive nor made the e-commerce environment unprofitable.

I have returned items twice in the last five or so years (one was an obvious packaging error and for the other I'm was never sure if it was an innocent mistake or if the seller tried to scam me ... but the law worked as intended). And I buy online a lot and have no reason to believe other people's experiences are too much different from mine. It just seems the law worked in a societal level.

But I always try to be safe on my side: when receiving expensive products, I always record the unboxing in a full Dogme 95 style, filming from the labels on the sealed box down to serial numbers on the product. I never actually needed to use any of these videos, but if I got scammed for real I will have enough evidence for a lawsuit and stand my ground in the card company questions my chargeback.

Optimising compilers do a lot more than drop code with no effect (and TBH most decent linter tools will pick that up for you anyway), I've seen them generate machine code that bore virtually no relationship to the C source, with loop unrolling, function call inlining, operation interleaving etc. etc.

Knowing how scammy dating apps are, they'll probably use bots to juice the numbers of apparent users a specific gender and have the bots lead on a bunch of humans and have them pay for tokens/waves with real money for a virtual experience.
To add to this CA DOT (aka Caltrans) does not regulate motor vehicles.

From https://dot.ca.gov/about-caltrans :

> Caltrans manages more than 50,000 miles of California's highway and freeway lanes, provides inter-city rail services, permits more than 400 public-use airports and special-use hospital heliports, and works with local agencies

> And it is certainly obvious if it can be produced by a tool using a click of a button.

What if it can only be produced by the tool through a highly nontrivial prompt? Prompt engineering is already a field, and there are already people selling prompts.

Maybe models like dall-e are going to be considered a new kind of very high level programming language. Just because you can obtain a certain result with a C compiler (given some specific "prompt" - that is, the C source code) it doesn't mean the result isn't novel.
A master carpenter is knowledgeable enough to be critical of those who aggressively peddle tools to unsuspecting customers who are likely to be unfamiliar with just how dangerous and potentially project-destroying those tools can be when not the right tools for the job.
I agree. Let's ban all content creators who don't already have financial stability or who don't already have an audience. We don't need new content creators, just like we don't need new musicians. Everything that's already out there is good enough.
I don’t disagree with the emergence/complexity progression statement but the issue is more fundamental:
you cannot accurately model a system within that system.

The thought experiment doesn’t work because the hedge fund would need to be transported back with networking and information access they can’t get in 1985. They would show up, try to get onto the trading floor, be rejected, have to get re-trained, have to hire an army of data entry folks, and they would still get beat by the good old boys network and insider trading that wasn’t yet being identified and prosecuted.

That’s all if they weren’t just investigated and arrested for cheating while their computers worked through their planned obsolescence timeline in some closet.
This is the video I recommend to others when working with dynamodb. The video is by Rick Houlihan about dynamodb modeling. In my experience most developers that complain about dynamodb don't fully understand it.

Even if he's forced to buy Twitter, let's not forget that... he will own Twitter. I'm not sure that's a net positive for the world. Though I'm not certain it's a net negative either.

And though it may well be expensive, it's not as if the $44 billion disappears: in fact it buys Twitter. And though he might regret it all in the end, he'll still have enormous wealth. (And Twitter.)

So... it does feel a bit like a pyrrhic victory to me.
Tangential question: Why do humans place emphasis on bathing, when most other animals don't seem to need to do it? (I think in the US we bathe more than we actually need to, but on the other hand I assume that the strong cross-cultural emphasis indicates that we do actually need to do it to some degree to stay healthy.) Maybe something about our unusual skin, and how we sweat to stay cool?
Looks like a useful tool for the toolbox, although the class names in pt2 can go die in a pit. Do you know of anything similar on the JS side?

What are the compiler bugs you ran into? I'm no compiler expert, but my suspicion is that they were more feature requests than anything else, considering you're working in a "here be dragons" area of the map.
It always seemed like that was the intent. Republicans know that restricting voting rights helps them, and Trump moved the needle significantly with his work to do that. His super PAC raised something like $160m post election, so someone may have been paying for him to do all that.
These days add to that (on the Windows side) great screen recording API with native support for hardware codecs (personal thingie), perfect per-monitor DPI scaling, stable upgrades that don't make me reconfigure software sources and don't break the system, hassle-free TPM support for full disk encryption, easy to understand UI for LVM-like storage management (e.g. Storage Spaces), and a simple email client that does not make my eyes bleed.

As someone who has been on Twitter for years almost every day, both parties acted in bad faith. Twitter bots are out of control and hard to detect because of newer SMM/bot tech scheduled tweets, and bot runners have had ages to perfect their craft on Twitter, because they were allowed to run free for so long. It's been TOTAL HELL for undiscovered user accounts to break ground on Twitter for almost a decade now at least, and many authentic people have simply stopped logging in long ago. Last time I looked, Twitter's ad minimum was $50, which is far too much of a gamble for someone small who just wants to grow followers on the platform, and chances are high that they'll often only attract bot accounts as followers if they gamble that money/

There are authentic accounts on Twitter, but it is nowhere near as vibrant as it once was, there is far too much run by scripting on the site and not enough support and fair human moderation. Elon as well likely realized the market crash, and how much it would take to bring Twitter back to prominence (which is a risk either way) and then decided to back out. Even with major functional changes there is still a wild risk that Twitter can be too "burnt out" to bring a user base back in.

Just my opinion, but I think everyone is waiting for something totally new to replace Twitter, and it would cost a lot less than the Twitter acquisition fee to build a new app from scratch. (And no, "something new" does not mean TikTok or even Truth Social). :{
The premise in this part of the thread is that the mastering engineers will not make a record that exceeds the limits of the medium, and what fits on the medium sounds nice.

Assuming this is correct, and that the digital mix intended for cds or streaming/downloads outside vinyl's range, you might be able to filter the digital mix to fit in vinyl's range and that might approximate the vinyl mix, but maybe the mastering engineer would make different choices (of course, maybe they just use a filter). It'd be interesting to explore with actual data.
I was wondering what other interpretation there could be. Still, while the translator chose a particularly dry way to put it I see that version as more likely. Putting on particularly tight clothing with any body hair at all tends to rip out hair, so I think the joke is about waxing rather than admitting the clothing is just too tight. You can imagine some pantomime after the joke. I've fairly sure I've seen at least one visual version of more or less this joke (in a cartoon).

Personally, the idea that someone could invent a basic joke does not make sense to me. People can popularize specific jokes at a specific time but as I see it the jokes themselves are a physical part of the world there to be discovered and only specific detailed phrasing can really be created. Though I guess I would say the same about anything people are said to invent so maybe it is a matter of perspective. Still, I'd be surprised if a good portion of "modern humor" didn't predate homo sapiens as a species.

I got my first coding job merely by being in a CS degree program. There was a job board, people posted jobs, I answered a post, here's what I can code, I got a job. Degree not needed.

The degree was not the key. There were no gatekeepers.

Do I want that? It's sort of crazy. I'm getting old, I will need doctors at some point to keep me alive. "Don't worry, I answered a post on a job board, I totally know what I'm doing", the doctor said.

Don't want that. But it worked out for me.
I hate Twitter. They are turning a huge profit with massive negative externalities to society. I hope this whole ordeal costs them billions.

> Please don't mistake free speech for hate and spite

if you'd put this some other way, I'd be down with it.

However, people who say "hate speech is not free speech" are just plain wrong. Yes, it is.
Yes, but I think I probably could have been clearer. I don't think drug companies should be able to lie about the effectiveness of their products, for example.

What I mean is that I don't think it should be illegal to say what you think about something as an individual, even if you're lying. If you're trying to sell a product then you I don't think you should be able to lie about what the product does, but you should be free to lie about how much you like it.
In that section of the Wikipedia article, his name is not mentioned once... what is your point?
HAVING is less understood? There’s nothing strange about HAVING, it’s just like WHERE, but it applies after GROUP BY has grouped the rows, and can use the grouped row values. (Obviously, this is only useful if you actually have a GROUP BY clause.) If HAVING did not exist, you could just as well do the same thing using a subselect (i.e. doing SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM … WHERE … GROUP BY …) WHERE …; is, IIUC, equivalent to SELECT * FROM … WHERE … GROUP BY … HAVING …;)
You joke, but expect to see this very idea put forward in all seriousness as this whole thing plays out. Likely by Musk fans, etc., but still.
Worst is that it probably works.
I don't think tasks which are basic for other package managers require dozens and dozens of hours sunk into nix to learn.

"Niche subgroup" is about right in its current state. With text editors, VSCode is powerful and accessible to use, but there are power users who prefer to spend time learning Emacs.

With package managers, nix is a power tool. It's not as accessible as it could be. But, the idea of "spend time learning a tool" isn't unusual in software development.

I think for the highest levels (e.g. Chief Engineer as you mention), there's really no replacement to knowing the right people. You simply need a long enough relationship with someone that they trust you at that level.

However, for many other roles, there's still a ton of insights + best practices that can meaningfully help engineers achieve their career goal. Alex and I don't have all the answers, but as a community with ambitious people, there's a very good chance you can find what you need.

> The Judge overseeing the Alex Jones case declared him guilty herself, skipping the Jury trial, by claiming that he didn't provide evidence of his financials. . Jones on air claims he submitted it twice, but each time the judge told him it wasn't in the correct format. On the second submission, the Judge didn't give him an opportunity to fix it, instead she found him guilty by default, skipping the Jury trial and going straight to the penalty phase.

That's a nice story. Here's are the actual default judgement orders in the two Travis County cases. The current case is the Pozner case, where he never provided documentation, not the case where he eventually supplied limited at incomplete documentation.

> I believe the implication that NIST or NSA somehow bribed one of the PQC researchers to weaken a submission is risible.

Is that even a claim here? I'm on mobile right now so it's a bit hard for me to trawl through the DJB/NIST dialogue, but I thought his main complaint is that NIST didn't appear to have a proper and clear process for choosing the algorithms they did, when arguably better algorithms were available.

So the suggestion wouldn't necessarily be that one of the respected contestants was bribed or otherwise compromised, but rather that NIST may have been tapped on the shoulder by NSA (again) with the suggestion that they should pick a specific algorithm, and that NSA would make the suggestion they have because their own cryptographers ("true believers" on NSA payroll) have discovered flaws in those suggested algorithms that they believe NSA can exploit but hopefully not adversaries can exploit.

There's no need for any novel conspiracies or corruption; merely an exact repeat of previous NSA/NIST behaviour consistent with NSA policy positions.

It's simultaneously about as banal as it gets, and deeply troubling because of that.
Indeed, that's true. The vinyl thing is probably more about the vinyl trend.

I go to a lot of "indie" performances, and have the musicians directly: How do I buy your stuff, so you make the most money? The answer is always the same: Buy the CD right here.
At first glance, I like the idea. But after thinking about it, there is something I really dislike. So much that it would make me want to lurk exclusively.

I will be paying you money for the privilege of posting questions (content) to your platform.

These questions will generate answers and discussions (more content). You now own this content, and it will be used to lure future customers by giving them an enticing preview, followed by a paywall. Once they are past the paywall, this content, that I helped create, and that you now own, will be something that adds value to your product.

I am assuming that the people providing advice during early stages are primarily paid seeders, and/or contributors with other incentives, such as shares in your company.

I assume that the long-term plan is that both sides will consist of paid subscribers.

I’m sure there are people who will pay to freely provide you with ownership of their advice for others. They might not even need the money. They will be content with receiving access to a community that is paywalled, unanonymous, and heavily moderated, in exchange for the subscription fee and their efforts.

But that’s not how I feel. So my question is, where’s my cut?
A lot of animals bathe/groom. Birds, other primates, cats. Tons of mammals swim as well. Deer, bears, etc (what other animals are there??)

I've noticed that the more I exercise, the cleaner + healthier my skin is. Showers only get me partly there - I need to sweat through a full rinse cycle to get all the funk out.
What circles are you in? I basically never, ever see bots on Twitter, let alone enough to suggest that Twitter is "nowhere near as vibrant as it once was".
