The article makes it sound as thought their own license forced them to release their own code. This could have only happened if the project had outside GPL'd code integrated into it, but then they wouldn't be able to legally change the license without removing that GPL'd code.

Great implementation of the wrong solution. The problem isn't that SIM security is weak but it's that we're using SIM/eSIM for identification and authorization in the first place. When we stop using SIM for authentication the need to guard against SIM Swap attacks goes away as well.

> sin(1) = 0 you are only going to confuse them.

Not really, pretty much every single one would assume you just forgot the pi, because everyone writes “sin(1pi)” and never actually “sin(3.14…)” because no one ever writes down numbers in the unit of radians, they already convert to half rotations or full rotations by scaling with pi. Imagine if someone went “nanometers are a dumb unit, because I always write down my numbers as h=342 x 10^-9m” that last part “10^-9m” is just nm. In the same way that sin(1.432pi) might as well just be written sin(1.43*rotation). Arguing for radians is arguing that the most natural way to write it is sin(8.985). Which you will pretty much never see anyone do.

Right, it should have been recognized as a null argument even back then.
The Julian calendar, which the Gregorian is a revision of, was designed precisely so that societies didn't need a public servant dedicated to keeping the calendar up to date.

>For example, the first day of Fall is actually the first day of "Mehr" (the 7th month). For some reason, the Gregorian calendar has it on Sep. 22.

The particular locations of the equinoxes and solstices on the calendar isn't as important as keeping them more or less in the same places as time goes on.

Something might be a red flag for an employee which causes them to immediately want to move on.

Our daughter Alex seemed normal at birth up until she began to crawl. That is when we noticed she wasn’t using her right arm or hand. We later found out she had suffered a stroke while in the womb. It was something no one knew about. The MRI results showed massive brain damage in her left hemisphere.

During additional testing, it was discovered that Alex was having over 100 seizures a day. In turn, the stroke caused epilepsy. We received the epilepsy diagnosis in 2007 after some additional testing. When several medications failed to prevent her seizure activity, she underwent left hemispherectomy surgery.

She was seizure free for almost three years, but then the seizure activity unfortunately returned.

Alex will be 16 years old in November and although she will not medically be able to drive, which is something she looked forward to, she is healthy and is now taking well to the medications to control the seizures. She will always have no mobility in her right hand and right-side weakness, yet life continues. She is strong, she is courageous, and she overcomes. When the doctors once told us she may never walk, talk or be normal, our faith said otherwise, and now Alex is truly a walking miracle!

My wife, Veronica, and I started A&V Treasures to help bring smiles to others through the products we sell while giving Alex a project of her own. We sell all sorts of toys, dolls, games, action figures, and collectibles within our online store.

Alex is an integral part of the store. She helps pack orders, which not only fulfills a dream to feel important and needed but is also something she can be proud of. Our goal is to teach her how to operate multiple areas of the business and one day this could even be fully operated by her.

Giving back is important to us. We decided to donate a portion of our proceeds to the Epilepsy Foundation because we have lived right alongside Alex, and epilepsy, for almost 16 years. We understand the struggles families and adults face when living with epilepsy and disabilities. It only made sense for us to give back a portion of what we earn to help others on their journey in honor of Alex.

It is our sincere hope that the funds we raise will help spread awareness. One life changed or one person trained in seizure first aid is more than enough reason for us to give back.
So it's likely that previous bonuses/raises were also based on 'old' stock prices. But since Amazon stock was (pretty much) always increasing, this means that those bonuses were consistently lower than what they should've been.

Of course it's only an issue now when the opposite is true, and is costing Amazon rather than the employees.

Corporate media has become little more that a propaganda system designed to protect the wealthiest elite from public scrutiny and bury issues like the rise of the artistocrat-serf divide in American society, and this article is just more of the same.

Since class divides are off the table, this leads writers who work for the system with nothing to talk about but 1960s-era civil rights issues related to gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. To do this they have to avoid discussing the many successes of the civil rights movements, and especially the fact that many 'members of oppressed communities' work hand in glove with corrupt greedy elites to further their agendas. Case in point: this article makes no mention of Epstein collaborator and facilitator Ghislane Maxwell.

Another defining feature of US corporate media these days is a deep reluctance to discuss foreign policy and imperial agendas - after all, why was Epstein so eager to make contacts with the upper tiers of business and government power, and introduce them to trafficked young women that he controlled? There's a lot of evidence that he (and Maxwell) were part of an Israeli-affiliated spy operation that was perhaps collecting blackmail material on, or just getting inside information from, the people that Epstein brought into his circle.

Writing about those subjects, though - that would result in excommunication and the end of one's corporate media career.
I'm sure they have internal horror stories of the practice, but they do it.

>> The writer don’t seem to realise that radian is not an arbitrary unit but a dimensionless one which is defined so that 1rad is actually just 1.

It's been a while, but I used to have an argument that rad should be a unit. This even plays well in physics where it allows torque to not have the same units as a joule.

But from the employee side, RSUs are usually communicated (and reasoned about) in dollar amount, with the undersanding that one is getting a number of shares corresponding to that amount.

I used to. Then I bought a part that didn't fit (a switch that obviously didn't have the right number of terminals), and the return process turned me off.

I still check them though as they often have good enough parts for a lot less than OEM prices. Though I also still go to the OEM when I get tired of third party parts that don't work (after the switch issue above I went to my local auto parts store - the switch fits but doesn't work, I'll see what the OEM part does. Rock auto was $8, local store $20, deal $140 - but I trust the dealer switch will work for another 20 years)

While I agree with you and with the OP and I have also been sometimes annoyed by this kind of debugger messages, the more universal solution than wanting an improved debugger is to rely for debugging on some form of progress and error logging in your program, which will work at any optimization level.

Adding such debugging aids in your program may need some extra work, but it also functions in all cases when using the debugger is hopeless, e.g. for concurrent programs or other programs that depend on real-time interactions which prevent the use of breakpoints.

I don't really understand this. Who is hiding what from whom? Is the idea that the outside observers can discover that either Alice or Bob said no, but not know which one?

Why do that with five cards? Why can Alice and Bob not just hand a single card to you, saying "Yes" or "No". You then mix the cards and reveal them. Now you know if there's a "No" but not who said it.
I originally read Roadside Picnic as a teen, which, at the time, impressed me as an exciting sci-fi adventure. When I re-read it as a young adult, i saw it as a rather depressing tale asking the questions of sacrifice and duty.

My other favorite by Strugatskys is A Billion Years Before The End Of The World (translated as Definitely Maybe), which you can read as a somewhat humorous story involving paranormal events, or as a critique of the state suppressing unwanted research.

> I think the point is, that a zero knowledge proof only works between two parties

Ah! I did not get that part of it. Thanks for clarifying.

I don't think the story made that part clear enough. For example, in the epilogue it says "Countless people saw Mick Ali on television, and he became famous."

But, as you say, one of the main points was that watching it on television shouldn't have been enough to convince the viewers at home. They could have been watching the faked version.

It would have been clearer if the epilogue had said "Countless viewers saw Mick Ali on television and remained skeptical, but the reporter himself was convinced Ali must have been telling the truth."

This only helps the tool makers. I wrench on Japanese and European cars yet every toolset comes with Metric and SAE sets. It seems to only inflate the parts count without giving you more functionality. The SAE and Metric bits are practically interchangeable.
>They did propogate because they did serve the societies, just not necessarily the individuals in those societies.

The article didn't dive into this implication, but it also comes up with bird divination (i.e. random selection) to pick crop locations. It made sure the society as a whole wouldn't collapse because of a disaster in the most productive fields. But there had to be unlucky rice farmers who were trying to grow rice in crappy fields. They might not have prospered and raised a large family, despite doing the exact same thing as the people with good fields. Traditions can be overall good while punishing individuals.
>> Ummm, actually it did. The Taylor-series of sine and cosine is the simplest when they work with radians. Euler's formula (e^ix = cosx + isinx) is the simplest when working with radians.

That's nice, but as the article points out most implementations of trig functions on computers don't use things like Taylor series.

Another terrific use of turns is in calculating angle differences, where you take a difference and just use the fractional part of the result. No bother with wrap around at some arbitrary 2*pi value. Since it wraps at integer values we simply discard the integer part. This can even be for free when using fixed-point math.
>It's not a replacement for a vehicle, nor will it ever be.

The majority of my use of a vehicle was commuting to work. After that, it was shopping for groceries. I'm 2.5 years into having no vehicle. I'm 1.5 years into using a cargo bike. There are very few things that are not doable on my cargo bike as it is now. With a few DIY modifiations, I could narrow that even further. The remaining I can settle with ride shares from an app or even more old skool the use of friends.
which of these things that have changed go against commoditizing the complement?

You can't explain everything that happens in the open source through such a focused view. It might work for some cases, relatively few though.
Not an answer to your question per-say but I believe there is a strong correlation. Anecdotally I've seen traditionally good looking people get promoted far more often even for technical non-sales roles.

I've actually become a little obsessed with this idea (stopping shy of being unhealthy).

To the point where I lost 25 lbs (through diet and exercise over 6 months), wear nicer cloths (even on Zoom meetings), and whiten my teeth. And it may be a placebo effect. It may just be increased confidence. But I think I've seen results from it.

I'm lucky I have a starting point that was already good (but not great) by US societal standards (I'm average height, male, was only slightly overweight, in good health, and my body responds well to exercise for someone almost hitting 40). But some people may not be lucky.

Edit: For context, I'm a technical founder (CxO). I think the effect may be more limited if you are, say, a junior software developer where technical and soft skills may be enough to differentiate you and run you up the ladder. But at the very competitive higher levels it often boils down to who they board/execs/principals/investors like more. And looks, unfortunately, play a role.
It reminds me of Joel Spolsky's "Strategy Letter V" talking about how open source is often used to commoditize the complement of your product[1]. It's been very sad to see the open source community being taken over as the OP points out by corporations, but there is hope. There is still a thriving community of people who do open source for fun, but as the OP points out, a lot of these communities do use GPL. I'm thinking about sr.ht in particular.

As an open source project 'owner' my personal experience is similar i.e. nearly nobody of the companies contributes back. Often times you are not even allowed to talk about their usage.

But still, I think the permissive license we picked was the better choice. Especially after our company was formed and we want to use the project for ourself too the (A)GPL would make the community working together with this harder (CLA, dual licensing?)

IMO a permissive license is better and easier for the developer and the GPL is better for the end user.

But even the GPL does not grant you anything without a lawyer :) E.g. I tried to get the GPL source code from Waze (tried it multiple times!) and got a reply:
"I've looked into your concern and determined that it needs some extra attention from our end."

In fact the type declaration in the function definition for Cpp2 looks better than the one in Rust. The Rust one looks confused.
> the RHS of the binding is defining an 'int' rather than a function value

But what's the difference between an `int` value and a function value? It's only the type!

I don't know Cpp2, need to have a closer look, but treating everything as a value makes perfect sense, imho, as everything is just a value in the end.

Any definition will become some structure in memory eventually. A "program", and a function is nothing else than a "small program", is data. Only the interpretation of said data makes the difference.

Types hint at how some data is meant to be interpreted. You could say they determine the interpreter to use, later on.

A syntax that makes those basic ideas very clear seems therefore very convincing to me. It's imho less confusing than something that does treat some "special" types of data, namely function values, very differently even on the syntax level, although the only difference is the type (which is the hint at how this data should be interpreted and nothing more).

Even an `int` value can be "executed", so there is no fundamental difference to the idea of a "function". Just interpret the `int` as a pointer to memory. The machine doesn't care as it allows arbitrary interpretations of arbitrary data structures. That's the whole point of a programmable computer in fact. (And also the constant source of the security issues with them).

+1 for "self-selects" for the right kind of customer. Self-selecting is interesting. Mine was a need, not a hobby, it was not a luxury. And like the original post pointed out, there was no need to convince me to buy. So I wonder if there needs to be another Amazon, one that it focused on those customers who "need" something?

Also, my own experience was that I did not pay a "premium". I really did need 1/2 sheets of copper on a regular basis. I could get small pieces at a premium. I could get larger sheets by driving for a hour or ... I could pay about the same total cost or less and get them delivered to my door... This was not limited to a few items. I needed plastic bags, about quart size. Again I got just functional bags - not shoddy at all - at a very reasonable price. The same things at amazon would have been a) not functional or b) impossible to find among all the shoddiness.
