"Free market capitalism" along with "democracy"

Protect the value of your own property

Use the bureaucratic state to achieve your ends

I have no idea of what the end game is, but the dilution of property rights, and the democratic right to protest, is necessary.

In New Zealand a lwa has been passed that means that in almost every case in the three biggest cities building three story apartment buildings is a right, not a privilege. City councils are not pleased, and time will tell how it works out
> spoken like a true temporarily-embarrassed billionaire

Until quite recently, the quip was "millionaire." What forced the change was American socialist icons embarrassed to find themselves on the wrong side of the barricade.

> in order to have the propensity to accumulate that much money, far more than any one human would ever need to survive comfortably, you have to exhibit a significant amount of sociopathy and antipathy towards your fellow man; a willingness to usurp resources far beyond any natural need

It isn't money; it's net worth. An old-fashioned market crash could vaporize most of the inequality in a week.

In any case: wealth isn't "usurped resources."

> used a mag strip reader

My recent cards (and not only mine, I saw that happen with others people cards too) just tell the terminal they can't be used by a mag stripe at all. I assume what the terminal without a smartcard/payless should allow a mag strip read, but I haven't seen them for like... 10 years? But I'm not in the US of A, for that matter.
When have we shut things down for the flu? Or did you mean something else?

Also, seatbelts are removable which people would say makes that comparison irrelevant.
Even here in small-scale embedded land we get bitten by it from apparently reputable vendors. We've had to cultivate direct relationships with certain companies to avoid it, and setup a whole acceptance pipeline for some of our parts. Frustrating as hell.

IBM's Holocaust collaboration became all the more significant when I ran across this justification / defence of pervasive data surveillance by Herbert Simon, Nobel laureate in economics and one of the fathers of AI. This is in his 1977 essay "What Computers Mean for Man and Society". In it, he addresses concerns:

The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to the creation and maintenance of longitudinal data files that assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources. Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of economic and social research, but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance the opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive data files has never been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom. The Watergate criminals made extensive, if unskillful, use of electronics, but no computer played a role in their conspiracy. The Nazis operated with horrifying effectiveness and thoroughness without the benefits of any kind of mechanized data processing.

<https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a9e7/33e25ee8f67d5e670b3b7d...> (PDF)

There is, of course, one slight problem with Simon's argument: The Nazis did make heavy use of mechanised data processing, provided and supported by an American company, IBM.

They are always one upping each other. On the positive side both OS are very, very good generally for security (comparatively to what we used to have)

Privacy I am not even so sure - you can turn a ton of Google stuff off fairly easily and on top of that while Apple may not directly sell your aggregated data to third parties they sure as hell are using it themselves
False. Ethereum did not roll back the attacker's gains, instead, there was a transaction made in the fork that moved the ETH out of TheDAO into a new contract where the ETH was returned to its owners. (An "irregular state change", or a "roll-forward" rather than back).

At no point was the ETH in the attacker's hands. Most of the ETH was trapped in a stalemate between the attackers (white-hats and black-hats), the remainder was time-locked under the Dao's control until the fork.

Also, the complete history of TheDAO is still on the mainchain and is being replayed and re-validated each time you do a fresh sync.

Amazon's pretty reasonable really most of the time. Certain teams work people like dogs, and junior engineers are too-often treated like shit. But if you're Sr. SDE or higher, it's usually quite reasonable.
All I can say about your aspirations is: good luck. I’m working for a startup in the space currently, and this is a billion dollar valued flush with cash startup that is only aiming to capture one of the several segments you mentioned.

If you can solve all of these problems, you deserve to be rich. If you are a little unsure, perhaps take one of the segments you mentioned and focus on that.

Given how many cars exist globally, I do wonder where 100's of Kgs of batteries per car is going to come from.

A bike requires much less and indeed most people could get by with one so I'd like to see more of this too. But it doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator of population use cases, it doesn't signal wealth, and convenience is king. So I don't think it will come about.
ha, so true, I often get so disappointed because my wife comes out looking like a wax model or something in many of our photos. It's not all the time but I wish I knew in advance or had some signal that filtering was being applied so I could at least react and change the settings or the lighting or something. Some kind of AR overlay would be nice, or even an after the fact overlay in the info settings like how you can view scanned text on an image, etc.

Thanks! That is definitely on the list, but might be a few months away. We're focusing on using images to find other images so it will be easy for artists to flag all of their stuff quickly. But, once we have that in a good place, we will definitely be adding more to the text search side.
Interesting. Given the comments from some others [0] when I asked about HKTs in Rust, they said something quite the opposite from you. Curious to hear your thoughts on those comments.

They don't need to explain what they want the software to do, they just need to explain what they want ACT-1 to do.

I agree with you that it won't be basic users, however, use anything long enough and you will become an expert.

This vision would fundamentally change how people interact with computers.
I'd include the Jim Crow / opposition to civil rights movements. Which were bloody and brutal.

Literally just had to leave a comment on this blog post after reading because he talks about how he's going to start leaving his Garmin InReach Mini at home because he can now use the satellite feature on his iPhone when he's out hiking in the Scottish mountains. As far as I'm aware, the satellite functionality is currently strictly for the US and Canadian markets only. I get that it's a big deal and a great technological achievement they want to brag about but I hope they are making it abundantly clear in other countries that this functionality is not available. If they're glossing over it, they're going to end up with a lot of people going into potentially dangerous situations with a false sense of security like this guy with potentially tragic consequences.
I don't tend to find 'new' music as I find current music on any chart(country, rap, pop) reprehensible.

I do discover new to me music, mainly through YouTube recommendations and the radio. Mainly 60's-80's. Yep, I still listen to plain ol OTA radio when I drive anywhere.

There's so much music there to discover still, I've never felt the need to discover today's stuff further.

When it comes to dipping the chip, it can wear down after a lot of use and stop functioning. I've never run into a problem with tapping however.

Here's an example image from a NY Times story about chips wearing down:

The last card I replaced due to chip wear, the chip looked even worse than that.

Single player isn't offline; the old view doesn't look right; it's slow and performs poorly; it has no LAN play

the art direction is OK, the changes aren't bad, but it looks more generic than D2 did.

Overall it's the same but worse with less features, instead of the same but better which is what a remaster should be.
So is venture capitalism; it's expected that most bets don't pay off and money is made because, if the VC makes good choices, some will pay off hugely. I think it's a matter of hiring the right people and managing them well.
For all the people saying why not use chip and pin cards for all your payments, using cash is EXTREMELY common for day to day small purchases in NYC and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
I swear I was hit by one of these once when I used my card in a parking meter in LA that was not working with tap
Interesting, I haven't encountered such a system at UK bars/pubs. Either it's entirely pay-as-you-go (easy when everyone has contactless), or, at fancier places, they'll trust you to run a tab without taking a card up front.
That's wild. We've had chips on our cards in Australia for gosh-knows how long at this point, and I honestly cannot remember the last time it failed.

Not that they're even used that often these days either: everything is just tap-and-go NFC payment now.

And I do mean everything!
If they're paying 350K for an ops manager, that's definitely too much.
My friend who does electronics repair says he's been shotgunning (replacing all of a part, without testing them) Electrolytic caps in transistor radios since the late 1950s. He said it almost always worked.

Sure.

The (L)GPL requires "derivative works" to be licensed under the same terms as the original. The LGPL contains an exemption for works which reference the original as a dynamic library (.dll, .so, .dylib, etc.), such that (unlike with the GPL) non-LGPL software can use LGPL libraries. In other words: if your program only dynamically links against Qt, then it is not a "derivative work" and therefore doesn't have to be licensed under Qt's own license terms.

It’s not active yet, the speculation is roughly November. Knowing Apple they will be VERY clear about this when the time comes. Since you have to sign up for service (free for the first two years) that would be a good time to make you go through the limitations.
It has some weird annoyances on Apple TV too.

As a person who was quite amused by a [quite gentry, ie recently entered the workforce afain] Domino's staff who didn't even knew how to handle a magstripe in 2016 I find this is quite baffling.
The problem that they have (and other user content created sites) if indexing was on is that SEO spammers use it to dump lots of links to sites.

That you don't see this is an indication that it works and dissuading those spammers.

Consider all the nearly forgotten repos out there that you occasionally stumble over and that there are no "work from home and get $30/hour - click here" or a dozen forms of "somespam.example.com" links peppering it.

Compare that with the old Wordpress blogs out there that haven't disabled comments and yet still have search indexing (or not, but spammers don't always dig far enough to see if there's a nofollow attribute on links).

So, for the most part, GitHub isn't indexed by search engines - and its across the board for the entirety of the site. Spammers realize that it is pointless to attempt in any of the forms that they could on other user created content sites and so expend no effort at all to post spam links.

Github discussions is searchable within GitHub in that repo. For example https://github.com/laravel/framework/discussions?discussions...

The wiki is fairly useful - and again, if you are searching for content in GitHub you can search wikis ( https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github... ) and get only content within GitHub (without having to sift through Google search results) with arguably a more powerful query language than Google's search bar ( https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/getting-started-wit... )

Personally, if I am looking for content for a FOSS that is hosted on GitHub I use GitHub's search for discussions and wikis first before trying to search for content in google.
That's a valid definition of amateur. It can also mean low skill, but that's just how we messed up the language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_professionalism
I would turn this argument around on itself and say, yes, of course I have things to hide, but none of those things need to hidden from 1) authorities conducting legitimate searches; 2) mass surveillance programs that are looking for terrorists; 3) advertising trackers; 4) and so on.

You're absolutely right that who and what matter here, but I find the typical who and the typical what to be entirely unobjectionable.

It's telling that the best arguments the privacy activists have are all slippery slope arguments. Of course it's easy to think of hypothetical policies to which I'd object; the point is that I don't object to any of the actually-existing programs as currently constructed. If Gmail wants to scan my mail, I don't care. If the NSA wants to drop in on my phone calls every once in a while to see if I'm affiliated with ISIS, that's fine with me. If Facebook wants to keep a log of my activity on the site to better target ads, then they should go for it.

The only way to get me to agree that a policy is odious is for you to make up some hypothetical policy that doesn't exist and say, "but what if that happened?!!" And I just don't find that very compelling.

In summary, you're absolutely right that, "nothing to hide is an incomplete sentence." The complete sentence is this: I have nothing to hide from any of the people currently looking in any of the places they're looking.
Sorry, I was unclear. I was referring only to the last point (that that amount of individual wealth is a policy failure) when asking about axioms.

I completely agree that the current rules at least allow such wealth accumulation, which if applied across 8 billion people means that many will choose that path.
Most state civil rights laws that list protected classes, specifically only minorities are protected - not white people.

Those images are not really "labeled". They just scraped the alt text. A lot of the recent advances in AI have been by using lower quality large scale web data, instead of hand labeling. The noise will average out. Hand labeled data can be used for finetuning.
Finally, something good and also inexplicably off-topic gets posted to HN. It broke new ground!!
Another low-tech thing I have done to protect myself is I have physically cut the numbers off my cards with scissors. My name and expiration date are still there. This way when I pay at a restaurant in the US and the card is out of my sight I don't worry about someone writing down the card details. So far not a single business has refused me when I hand them my modified card with the numbers cut off.
Literally every single person at work got vaccinated and still got Covid over the last year. Every single one. I actually can't think of a single person that was vaccinated and didn't get it, although I'm sure there must be a few that I know.

I think it's fine to recommend that people get vaccinated to lessen symptoms, but we should probably stop pretending it significantly prevents the spread of infection. "The science" does not appear to support that claim anymore, and many people no longer trust "the experts" now after seeing how they all still got Covid. Long term, that destruction of trust will do more harm than good. The Noble Lie is going to bite us in the ass.
That distinction is overly pedantic. That's like saying, "No, the store didn't refund my payment. Instead, they made a second transaction that returned an equal amount of money to me."
> The core implementation is under 700 lines of JS,

why people implement such projects in exotic languages (haskell, JS), and not c/c++, so it can be used in much more wide usecases.

Also, everyone tries to invent some new functional language, while core of prover can operate just first order logic (two quantifiers: exists and any), and on top of that others can build any kind of language to the taste.
Kek this puts a smile on my face, all those smug rich kid interns that "work at google" and their whole day is just going to some meeting, doing 1 hour of shuffling tickets, then playing lacrosse and going to a drag show or some shit, with the final hours of the day spent editing the footage to go on TikTok.
The cable is still good for charging (if you need fast) and I like it a lot for CarPlay because in my experience wireless CarPlay has a ton of lag to it.

I do wonder what they do if they remove the port completely, how do they fix the phone if it gets truly messed up? Does it become like the watch where they just have to swap it out with a different one and send it back to Apple?
On the note of will it be “noticeably slow in 2024” I have to say you might not even notice.

I’m using an iPhone X here in 2022 and honestly other than the battery life being a bit lower than usual, the phone is super snappy, even on these latest iOS releases.

It’s basically 5 years old and it’s still doing amazingly well.

My understanding was that Bell labs was full of researchers from wartime labs. These researchers were used to freedom, quick iteration and a focus on application to wartime efforts.

I think it would be hard to replicate this with modern day researchers. There just isn't the same pressure or importance that wartime provides.
In my first BillG review when I was a PM on the Windows team, he called me a “dirty liar”. It’s was awesome.

I think he said “dirty” because he was making an effort to be nicer and say “fuck” less, and I think he caught himself mid-sentence and replaced “fucking liar” with the more PG rated “dirty liar”.

He was calling me a liar because he thought he caught me saying something wrong. We were reviewing an approximately 80 page spec I’d written on changes we were planning to make to the Windows desktop, and I’d said essentially “all the visible changes apps will be able to make to the desktop will contained within the new Sidebar”.

He thought I forgot about QuickLaunch icons. But in our plan we were going to move the QuickLaunch into the Sidebar too, so I was correct.

Overall it was an amazing meeting - he was prepared, friendly, intelligent, on topic, and ready to go deep. I didn’t take any offense at his comment, he was really just having a conversation about the topic.
