I get that the company wants to know and protect itself. I'm just not sure how they can after reading this article. Short of requiring all employees to check in physically periodically.
Not really, most of the “bros” I knew when I worked in SV I would describe as white or Indian men moderately interested in hiking biking and camping. Which makes sense, the Bay Area is stunning. Grab a beer or two afterwards. Have a nice time. (You might detect I’m kinda on the side of the bros here.)

>Because if Coinbase did that, nobody would use them, but people do use Ethereum.

And that doesn't feel anything like a ponzi scheme to you? Because, again, as you state, people are not using Ethereum (that would require paying fees to old investors) they are buying it (in hopes that they aren't too late to become an old investor themselves).

Or are you literally saying that the value of ETH is that "Aesthetically, it's nicer to see 'ETH' at the end of an account balance than it is to see 'USD'"?

That... actually makes sense to me. You're gambling the cost of the book that the amount of enjoyment you get out of it is worth the time it took to read it.

If you enjoy the book, your payout is those feeling of enjoyment. If you lose, the price is the cost of the book and the time you wasted reading it - but you have the paltry consolation prize of a now-second-hand book that you can sell at a loss to a used book shop.

And you can affect your odds of winning or losing, by going with a genre or author that you already have an affinity to (or not!)

> if you need Spanner, you’re likely to bump into both of those limitations

That’s the point: if you need spanner, Google wants your money.

This is intended as a way for people to play around with it free of charge, in the hopes that they will realize they need it.
The article says in its intro

“ but with the release of the PS5 and the introduction of PlayStation's bug bounty program, I was motivated to attempt some kind of exploit chain that would work on the PS5.”

Money is a perfectly reasonable reason to jump through the “responsible disclosure“ hoops. If you want to do work like this for purely altruistic reasons, go ahead, I’ll cheer you all the way. If someone else does it for money or reputation instead, I’ll still read their fascinating write up of it.
Planetes is coming one day closer to becoming reality, I am all for this

I actually agree with the idea of restraint, but this is a colossal release with literally dozens of major highly anticipated features and a huge load of bug fixes and performance optimizations. Given the development time frame and resources this is a spectacular delivery. Also highly recommend checking out the code base directly as the team have done a great job of keeping the sources well organized and clear.
The diamond is worth only $10-12 billion (edit: at most), which is a decent chunk of money, but only 0.25% of the Indian Federal Government's YEARLY budget or only 10% of the Pakistani Federal Government's YEARLY budget.

What is a "large company" in this context? My employer is on track to run about $5m through Stripe this year, which will be our fourth full year using Stripe. Our first year we did about $2.75m. This year I've been getting occasional emails from a Stripe sales rep for the first time, which suggests that we've crossed some sort of threshold...
> currently, my product doesn't work for 35% of my customers. Cue torrent of pissed off customer emails.

Maybe fail open until you fix the payment processor issues? Seems it would be better to take the short term hit monetarily for long term gains and retain your customers than lose 1/3 of your user base.
Subscriptions are almost definitely more profitable.

E.g. Photoshop is now $240/year. The last price I could find for a version you could actually buy was $500. Assuming someone uses it for 4 years (which might be short, the few people I know who use PS latch onto a version for forever), it would be ~$1,000 for a license.

A lot of stuff would be fine for about a decade. That would be ~$2,500 for comparable income.

Subscriptions tend to be dramatically more expensive than buying software was. $5/month over a decade is $600. A lot of stuff wants to charge $5/month for something I wouldn't pay $600 to own for a decade.
It's only absurd if you think that countries ought to behave like people in a society. All the laws and rules of societies serve one purpose, to keep themselves stable. The abstraction of Justice doesn't apply outside of society, unfortunately.
Yeah this article is just pure spam. Google Cloud has always had a max $300 free trial and the change here is now you do Spanner woooptie wooo. The offering is not at all like AWS free tier.
The first line is revealing; "contains" is not an operation usually performed on numbers.

Does the number 21 "contain" the number 2? Not in a meaningful sense.

However, the string "21" definitely contains the substring "2".

An interesting passage doesn't rule out US involvement in a lab leak:

>Independent researchers have not yet investigated the US laboratories engaged in the laboratory manipulation of SARS-CoV-like viruses, nor have they investigated the details of the laboratory research that had been underway in Wuhan. Moreover, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has resisted disclosing details of the research on SARS-CoV-related viruses that it had been supporting, providing extensively redacted information only as required by Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.

The difference between blu-ray and dvd was barely perceptible—if at all—on most people's TVs, when they came out, while DVDs were plainly much better than VHS on any non-tiny TV manufactured in the 10+ years before they came out, is part of why DVDs made a bigger splash, I think.

Also, DVDs were fundamentally very different from VHS, while Blu-Ray is just the same thing but incrementally better (yes, I know it's pretty different in a lot of important ways, but it looks very nearly the same, and you use it the same way).

DVDs introduced or normalized:

1) Surround sound on home media.

2) Widescreen picture (widescreen VHS existed, as did pan-n-scan DVD, but DVD popularized home widescreen video sources)

3) "Extras"—sure, you'd see the odd making-of feature on a second tape with some VHS releases, or available separately, but nothing like e.g. commentary tracks.

4) Multiple audio options from one piece of media (original audio plus dubs on foreign media)

5) Nice-looking captioning, potentially in multiple languages, not like ugly VHS/TV CC managed by the TV.

6) No rewinding.

7) Chapters & menus.

8) ... probably more that I'm forgetting about.

Plus they didn't degrade every time you played them (provided you didn't scratch them when handling the disk) and pretty much never self-destructed in the player.

Granted, Laserdisc did some of this too, but it was too expensive and too bulky and ~nobody had one. I'm not even sure more than half the population of the US knew laserdisc existed.

Meanwhile, Blu-Ray brought us... more pixels. And the disks are more durable. A few other features, sure, but only nerds know about those, really. That's about it. The pixel-count increase was big, but it wasn't a whole new thing.

In short: DVD was a new thing; Blu-Ray was "just" better DVD. Consider: almost nobody called a DVD a tape. Tons of people still call Blu-Rays "DVDs".

Whatever the technical merits of Blu-Ray over DVD, it simply didn't make as big a splash. Probably didn't help that streaming services were starting to make non-film-geeks reconsider having a home video library at all, early in Blu-Ray's lifespan.

> A properly mastered Blu-Ray disc still looks considerably better than the HD streams being offered by just about any modern streaming service,

Heh, especially Netflix. Encoding artifacts everywhere. Every dark scene is a bunch of big squares. Terrible, terrible picture. I can get 2GB(!) h.265 blu-ray rips @ 1080p that look way better than Netflix's 1080p. The problem is they're (streaming services generally, that is) incentivized to make the stream as bad as they possibly can, without driving away too many customers, because storage and data transfer costs are major expenses for them.

Robustly Post-capitalist Desire (shadow title: Capitalist Realism), a Mark Fisher (author of well known k-punk blog, Exiting the Vampire Castle, & many more) lecture series that he suicided during part-way through. Accepts capitalism as utterly unavoidable, as something we have to keep working through, & find objectives through, and tries to imagine what desire & goals might look like in a world that is defined almost exclusively by making more money (slash paperclips), where the invisible hand runs on auto-pilot towards it's own ends.

Post-capitalist Desire is now a book with the 5 surviving lectures, and the reading list for the planned course.

We've now got like 1/2755 billionaires actually putting up some kind of resistance to the cyclically consumptive desires of capital. Great.
Interestingly, all of the Romance languages exhibited consonant-dropping in their development. In Spanish and Italian for example, the Latin ending -us became -o. And even as far back as classical Latin, it is believed that the "m" at the end of a word was often nasalized. Apparently this hasn't been a thing for millennia.
Which functionality from Cloudflare do you need? They have quite of few offerings.
> It's well hidden in Ethereum press releases, the only mention I can quickly find is the FAQ entry titled 'Misconception: "The Merge enabled staking withdrawals."' here [1].

You shouldn't make financial decision based on press releases. It was a well known fact that the withdrawal of staked ETH would not be enabled with the POS hard fork. Every staking tutorial does point that out.

The Beacon Chain has been started in December 2020. That means people have been staking for almost 2 years now, knowing that they won't be able to withdraw any of their staked ETH for years.

You can say what you want that is quite the commitment.

> That is, staking right now is a one way street with a promise to be able to withdraw some time in the future and returning only about 4% gross annually, which is laughably low for something that risky.

You are aware that the POS rewards are calculated taking the amount of staked ETH into account? The more ETH is staked the smaller rewards are? That means that people are totally fine with staking for that kind of return.

#2 is the most important one to me, so I'll address that specifically.

MOST games I've seen don't provide a public API for players to interact with, and even when players do reverse engineer them, they get accused of cheating, hacking, whatever, and often get their accounts banned.

In the world of blockchain gaming, it's trivial to build tools and meta-games around anything, and there's basically nothing that the original developers can do to stop it. I can host a small bit of static HTML that gives users the ability to battle cryptokitties with each other, and capture each other's kitties. Then at the end of the day, the winner can go back to the main cryptokitties site, and breed their new kitties like normal. I don't need to ask anyone's permission, and all I need is a stable place to land some HTML, and maybe deploy some contracts depending on the level of integrations I want to build. I don't need to apply for an API key, or start up an email conversation with anyone at Dapper Labs. I can just build it, and anyone with a web3 capable browser can play along.

This is the magic of "permissionless" systems, and it's the standard across the blockchain gaming ecosystem.
Oh well, so dies an amazing product to be locked up behind a massively customer-unfriendly organization.

I'd even rather it have been acquired by Google where it could end up being graveyarded, there at least it would, if it survived, have been more easily available. I consider it for practical purposes no less survived now than if Google had killed it.

Is there anyone who could have acquired them that would have been a better custodian for such a great product?

I'm calling a spade a spade. It's a huge PR move that aligns with the brand identity.

The (former) shareholders will continue to lead luxurious lives. Patagonia will continue to contribute to wasteful fashion and the global oversupply of clothing products.

If any net-good is caused by this PR campaign, I will consider it a coincidence.
Just out of curiosity does stripe offer a paid support model? Are you guys paying for it?
I understand this perspective and sometimes I want to agree with it, but it requires some kind of competition/innovation/refinement process to exist. One time purchases means the provider needs to entice you to upgrade one way or the other - compatibility with new formats and paradigms, better X, something. Subscriptions don't have that incentive once they're relatively entrenched as de facto standards. Granted, one time purchases also suffer from hubris at that stage (see unnecessary UX changes to Photoshop, Windows, etc.) but it's more obvious with SaaS due to the sunk cost fallacy.
Actually I wish more people would be taking it. Currently about 10-20 people are in the experiment, and it's the only drug proven to reverse epigenetic aging in humans. I want to be part of the experiment, but I'm afraid of developing prostate cancer, and I don't live inside the US, that's why I prefer to wait.
Can you please as your PR and PMs to change the wording here so it’s so so misleading that the offering is NOT a free tier but rather a trial?

In general Ive had pretty ridiculous trouble with GCloud reps pushing their practices and mindesets on me, across several large contracts and companies. Your team dearly needs to work on basic communication. As Sundar has said publicly, Google as a whole needs to earn back user trust. As a corporate GCloud user (not my choice), you have obliterated it time and time again, and these sorts of fake free announcements really don’t help your case.

There's two fold for missions like this

1) Debris is dangerous to orbiting objects. So the value of bringing it down is more valuable than the per kilogram value. It is highly dependent upon potential damage it can do. Space debris is already causing damage to satellites and the ISS. As we place more objects in space this danger increase super-linearly.

2) If you can decommission debris you can decommission satellites. This has obvious military applications. In fact to properly do this you actually have to get pretty close to other satellites without colliding. By solving the debris problem you're solving a lot of the same problems you need for these military applications.

So both incentives are valued far greater than the per-mass value of the trash.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/01/25/california-redwood-fo...

Update: To clarify, Turing_Machine likened the suggestion that California be given to Mexico to alephnerd's description of the complex and unclear proper ownership of the Koh-I-Noor. I claim that the situation in California is simpler, at least in some places, because there are native Californians to give stuff back to and multiple tribes are willing to cooperatively take custody and stewardship of the land, as the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council has. This is in many ways the opposite of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan having competing / mutually incompatible claims.
Is it really true that piracy hurts game developers? All I've seen is evidence for the contrary[1]

As for your end statement, I believe having root access, or just the same level of control over the individual device as the manufacturer does after the sale, is a matter of consumer rights/protections ripe for legislation, not about "features".

I'm thinking in terms of f=ma, or the equivalent in terms of torque. I can live with my car getting up to highway speed within a much longer time duration than how quickly it needs to slow down if I hit the brakes. So the brakes need to exert more torque on the wheels than the motor does.

Putting a motor on each wheel could have some performance benefits, but I'm not sure I'd pay for it if I could get a single-motor car for cheaper. I'm talking about "econo box" performance, which is all I want anyway.
Queues form when capacity doesn't meet instantaneous demand. You can't really increase the instantaneous capacity of viewing a coffin, or the throughput of it, if you prefer that view. You can of course try your hardest to make that part of the line orderly and moving.

In order to reduce instantaneous demand, you can do things like charge a fee (unpalletable, I'm sure), extend the hours and days of viewing, offer reservations of some sort (maybe for people who need accomidations, maybe when the line gets over a target length, give people wrist bands that entitle them to line up at another time where only wristbanded viewers will be let in, etc). Changing the state religion to demphasize visiting coffins could help.

Having the monarch reign for a really long time helps, because if every subject wishes to see the coffin of each of their soveirgns, fewer soveirgns helps.

The first sentence of the article makes it clear that they're talking about data science, not any other domain.
There are techniques with which deorbiting 1 million 10 gram fragments might end up being quite cheap. E.g. the use of a single laser-equipped base that selectively hits the debris to cause localized evaporation and thrust, disrupting their trajectory.

I developed a web application in 2004 using Quixote and Durus. I wonder how many developers outside of MEMS Exchange ever used both of those packages. Somehow I had not yet encountered a proper ORM (I didn't discover SQLObject until later, and Django wasn't out yet), so I liked Durus at the time. That web application is still running, and in the years since then, I've had to handle several escalated customer support cases, and I often wished I had chosen a relational database so I could easily do ad-hoc queries. So Durus probably wasn't the best choice for my application, but that's not your fault. And one thing I liked about Durus was that the implementation was simple enough that I felt I could really understand how it worked. So thanks for that.
