Unions are not quite the great deal. They don't add to the value of the company, and their only goal is to redistribute value from company to workers. Which is not a bad deal when all runs smoothly, but come financial stress and unionized companies go under first. Then there's also the question of fairness. Unions are not motivated by merit employee brings, so the leeches end up eating lunch of workers who are productive, causing stagnation. All in all, this is not an ideal arrangement. If I had an option to join a union, I wouldn't
Agreed - I think most programming language communities have settled on one major framework (though there are plenty of other smaller ones) and they've survived.

Oh, I sort of realized that. I have seen some researchers now and then at work.

It was just this paper's style of writing, and the not-very-hidden assumptions and approach in the intro, that prompted me to write that.
The fines for opioid producers and various enablers are in excess of $26 billion and still counting. Not nearly enough, mind you, but still -- much higher than the amount being discussed here.

There are also two important distinctions:

1. The American court system is inherently adversarial and judges/juries have a lot of discretion. The strategy employed by the defense does matter and a bad strategy can be expensive. If the lawyers in the opioid cases had employed the strategies used by Jones and his lawyers -- instead of working hard to get a settlement -- their damages would likely have been an order of magnitude larger than $26B & the executives behaving like Jones would be in jail. Jones, in many ways, has only himself to blame for the size of these damages. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

2. The $26B and counting will actually be paid. I would guess that Jones will only ever end up paying a small faction of the <$1B.
yes, OP might want the "flaw" however it still could be discovered by somebody else and eventually patched, next week, next month, ect... just because you use bug now does not mean it won't be "fixed" (or broken worse) in the future.

personally if i were in OP's shoes: i'd hope that said company has a bug-bounty program and use that for a little side cash and a "look what i found" - along with denying auto-updates to my own devices to keep utilizing said functionality (ive always been a fan of choice vs enforcement of arbitrary updates).
the disclaimers must be on the digital and physical documents. not everyone who will ever handle them will know their origin, authenticity, or how to validate them.
Possibly a faster 0-100 would be achieved with an ICE (nitro) driving electric motors.
People should learn from the experts. Lamport is always the wizard:

You're not going to come up with a simple design through any kind of coding techniques or any kind of programming language concepts. Simplicity has to be achieved above the code level before you get to the point which you worry about how you actually implement this thing in code. - Leslie Lamport

Then there's Wiener's Eighth and Final Law: You can never be too careful about what you put into a digital flight-guidance system. - Earl Wiener, Professor of Engineering, University of Miami (1980)

The corollary of this is to treat any and all state within subsystems as a red flashing lights level liability.

Prior restraint and criminal punishment would seem to be two fairly obvious standards. Neither apply in this case.

Freedom of speech is never an absolute, it had a long history of far lower significance in the United States prior to the 1950s, and has a long an complex history.

I'm not a legal scholar, I'm still researching the background and history myself. Two resources of possible interest and use to yourself and others:

Jacob Mchangama's Clear and Present Danger podcast, 40 episodes plus several special installments on the history of free expression. The creator tends rather more libertarian than I, though he's not an absolutist. That said, there's reasonably little bias I'd noted in the overall presentation, which is nuanced.

TIL that there are people who just use whatever messaging app came with their phone.

I may not like Moxie Marlinspike's decision to host Signal on the Play Store, but it's still the best SMS app out there for providing a moderate degree of privacy, and it'll run on iOS and Android (and desktop!) alike (though, on the desktop it only supports Signal-Signal messages, not other SMS).
If the hardware vendor won't submit the driver to Microsoft for driver validation, which is a requirement to for the driver to be available via Windows Update, that's not Microsoft's fault.

HP likely chose to have a semi-custom part in those models and included the driver in the shipped build of Windows. They also likely make the driver available for download somewhere (though this "somewhere" is not always easy to find.)
Aside from reposting on Danbooru, training usage is explicitly allowed without original creator's permission by Japan law. https://storialaw.jp/en/service/bigdata/bigdata-12

Do you think it would be good to follow the Constitution and have the House grow with population?
I think I'm alright with it in this case. Here, they've given the result and a full proof that a keen undergrad could follow. The future reference is about the method they used to find it. People can hit the ground running with their accelerated matrix multiplication today, should they want to. But if they want to apply that method to find 17x17 multiplication formulae, they'll have to wait.

What percentage of all crypto currency is this? Seems like a not insignificant percentage of the estimated $1-3 trillion total value of all crypto holdings.

Zoom is terrible for presence, as in feeling like both of you are in the same place which VR achieves quite easily even with terrible graphics. That is very hard to demo. You have to experience it yourself for more than one 5 minute session. I strongly doubt that you’ve even used a Quest just based on your comments. It has many problems and flaws, but “too much effort to use” isn’t one of them.
However, if you check the AFT, the author notes that GitHub is strictly required, so I don't know what to think.
Isn't this just like other industries coming off a high (computer sales for example) due to the pandemic? Obviously book sales were up, they couldn't stay there forever.

I’ve become reluctant to build standalone/external DSLs due to my past experience where I had to also be responsible for building the developer tooling around it such that it’s easier for others to adopt it.

JetBrains MPS seems to be a good tool that solves my aforementioned “last mile” issues with external DSLs.
"But the most important thing was his meeting with Raymond King, the founder of AboutUs. AboutUs was an internet domain directory containing information about millions of businesses.

there you go.
I'm not sure if the actual differences in energy usage are so clear cut. These charts [0], which account for the 12900K spending less time to accomplish tasks than the 5950X, seem to indicate the disparity isn't so terrible. You can always under-volt too; the 13th gen press release includes charts [1] showing that the 13900k at 65W matches the performance of the 12900K at 241W.

> User acquires an/a set of in perpetuity futures contracts. (A future without an expiry date, effectively, what? A pin I guess?) Idea being, this order indicates intent to swap at volume $MNGO to $USDC at $RATE.

No, a perpetual future is like a basket of daily futures that roll over automatically when they expire. Also, an order is different from a position. The user acquired a long position in one account and a short position in another.

> Centralized exchanges sees the futures order, and starts cranking up the price of $MNGO due to the increased interest in swapping based on the presence of the Futures.

No, the activity on the Mango DEX had no impact on the price of MNGO on centralized exchanges. The user had to separately buy a bunch of MNGO on centralized exchanges to manipulate the price.

> The Futures contracts are leveraged, but require no collateral, because there is no expiry date on the Future (no intended date of delivery).

They require collateral. That's why the user had to send $5mm to each of the two accounts they used at the Mango DEX as the first step of the attack.

> So the order volume (spot token purchases) induced upward price movement and... What? Caused other uninvolved investors to buy his acquired tokens at a peak, and he just takes the money and cashes out never intending to actually honor or settle up the perps, which won't margin call, because they're still "good" but will never mature? I'm failing to see an exfil path for ill-gotten gains/financial chicanery beyond the seemingly obvious wash trading.

The user could withdraw dollars from Mango because their long MNGO-PERP position was in profit.
Why not? They’re private companies. Just like Facebook and Twitter and PayPal and CloudFlare.
What proof do you have that he isn't displacing the supposed "background" like a bacteria moving in a petri dish?
Australia’s constitution was partially based on that of the US. We are also a federation of states, with a federal Senate in which the least populous state has the same number of senators as the most populous. So we have rather similar potential for “blocking minorities” as the US.

And yet we have a reasonably liberal abortion regime nationwide - which is not due to the courts (we have no constitutional right to abortion), but simply the outcome of the democratic legislative process in each state. I think it never became quite the political/cultural hot potato here as it did in the US, in part because it was left up to elected officials rather than unelected judges. Even if someone doesn’t like the current situation, it is harder to object to the legitimacy of it when the people the voters voted for are responsible for it.

I think one relevant difference is that as a country with a smaller population and a shorter (post-colonisation) history, there is arguably less inter-state cultural diversity in Australia. We don’t really have “red states” and “blue states” - some states lean more one way than the other, but it is much less polarised than the US.

I have got all my friends / family using signal, but everyone else I know and everyone else they know are using SMS or whatever.

They will no doubt stop checking their signal messages from me same as iPhone users often do and I will have to change to insecure messages for all my messaging.

This will break their trust in my recommendation, as much as it will break my trust in signal.

I get the reasoning over this, but I think they fail to realise that interoperability is the most important feature. I will have to stop donating to signal over this change, it will be useless to me...
Based on my own experience with Ruby on Rails, I'm ill-convinced that Rails experience gives you a good understanding of frameworks in general.

It can give you a solid respect for the dangers of letting a framework grow far beyond a simple focus.
What makes you think that either a) they aren’t trying to do that too or b) that this isn’t a component in that?

It’s not anymore unreasonable to conclude that representation in PR _is_ what the community wants than to decide it _isn’t_ and communities aren’t monoliths anyway.
For the past year and a half, I've been focused on just one side project: a privacy-friendly personal finance simulator that doesn't ask to link your accounts (projectionlab.com), can run Monte Carlo simulations in your browser, and keeps your data client-side unless you choose otherwise.

Besides, it’s kind of absurd to imagine government regulation of bubble hue.

On the other hand, I’d love to see the government regulate Apple’s right to keep using port interface changes as financing events. Every time they change their chargers we’re forced to pay for the new ones which creates waste and is just plain shameless greed on their part. And of course Right-to-repair + Planned-obsolescence.
It is the case. They weaponize "lying" to the FBI and can get you several years in federal prison just for that. It is a common tactic in banana republics and the USA (something we are quickly approaching). They then use this as leverage to get what they want out of you.
> I like an analogy I heard recently […] If a man is coming at you with the intent to do you harm, it hardly matters what technology he employs: hammer, gun, knife, mace, sword. The technology is neither the problem nor the solution. The fundamental problem is the intent of the assailant. Unless we radically change our intent on this planet, “unlimited” energy—by any technological means—only accelerates our demise. I think of it this way: if every jackass on the planet has access to cheap and abundant energy, what do you think they’ll do with it? Will they use it to restore ecosystems, or hack more of it down for their own short-term gain?

What kind of bank has employees publicly interfacing on Instagram? Sounds like a recipe for harassment from Yee.

(Just kidding, this perspective would fall under victim blaming, I think.)

It does seem unnecessary for a bank to be interacting on social media, though. How does it make sense for them to spend time on it?
Commercial speech is speech, and ought to have first amendment protection. The regulation should be structured in terms of requiring licensed surveys for specific uses (eg, mortgage underwriting), not making unlicensed line-drawing illegal.

If they consider two graphs drawn differently as different graphs, they should clarify it from the start … and maybe not pose it as a graph problem.

Interesting! I wonder if it can help improve search for images/products/code and other artifacts.
I think this hardware/software metaphor is in a way limiting belief :). No, it is a good metaphor but what helped me is understanding that things can be changed and I was able to change fairly drastically my life and how I went about things, NLP way, reprogramming problems and limiting behaviors in my life.

Did I fix everything, no, not at all. I still have serious ADHD issues but compared to where I was, it is night and day and if I had not run into NLP books and studied them and applied, I probably would live pretty limited and miserable life now.

Bingo.
Given the larger trends in the demographics of every developed country, I highly doubt it. Nearly every population is now skewed towards the older generations as becoming a larger and larger demographic due to longer lifespans and much lower birthrates. I do not feel that HN is safe from this trend
> The GPL doesn't force you to give anything away if you've just modified the code for personal use. You only need to provide source code if you're distributing your modified software.

I'm not free to keep my changes, though, and if I don't have those rights, it is because I've given them away at the behest of the GPL. My changes are GPL even if I never distribute them. I'm prevented from licensing that code how I choose. GPL takes my effort and forces me to either never do anything with it or to give it away to everyone.

I will never work on code that is licensed under any GPL variant. I will not donate my time to expand the functionality of that code or to fix any problem for software which supports a license that removes freedoms from the people who maintain it.

The GPL is viral and parasitic and I will not contribute to that.

Maybe I would have freely given my code away if it was MIT licensed. Maybe I would keep it for myself.
Maybe I would turn it into a commercial product.

My point is that THE CHOICE IS MINE if I work on code that is MIT licensed.

The choice is what matters to me, and the GPL forces me to give up that choice. I can't agree to that.

A huge pet peeve of mine is libraries appropriate existing topics as their name.

Eleventy is a great name. When I search it I get nearly 100% Eleventy related results. Hugo is a not great name; if I search it and I get Hugo the movie, Hugo boss the fashion line, Hugo insurance company, etc. Next.js is an okay name, at least they explicitly include .js in the name and branding and all over their website to make it a bit more notable and manageable.

Hegel is not a great name IMO. The search space is dominated by the well renowned philosopher, and if the library does get very popular, it begins to take away from what people are usually searching for with "Hegel". Hegel.js would be a slight upgrade, but it is only referred to as "Hegel" in the main repo and website.
The emphasis on "persistent union membership" makes me skeptical. If they are excluding anyone who spent time unemployed, or switched industry (to one not unionized), that massively skews the data.

The study could just as easily prove "people who don't have gaps in employment and become experts in their field are paid more".

I do wish I could read the whole paper to see these details...
That was exactly my reaction. Seems like some kind of publicity stunt by both companies.
$44 billion for a dumpster fire. People will leave in droves when Elon buys it and starts enabling nazis, the next Trumps and Alex Joneses. TikTok if you're reading this you need to get to coding now and providing an alternative that is basically a Twitter format clone with old style Twitter quality controls (pre Elon era). You will add $10s of billions to your value. Tiktok, you have the resources and expertise to pull this off in a very short period of time. Please send me $1 billion USD if you use my idea. K thx.
It would have been untenable as the country grew. Originally, a representative shouldn’t have represented more than 30K people. If that had continued, we would now have 10,000 representatives.

You could always reduce the size of the government like conservatives want - at least until they realize that for the most part, conservative states are smaller more rural states that are a net beneficiary of federal income taxes.
This does frustrate! On more than one occasion I've spun up a create-x-app project just to see what an implementation looks like to then do it manually inside an existing project.

The statistical version. The equation is independent of knowledge.

Your logic is flawed. Think about it. Knowing more or less about a system does not change it's entropy.

If I knew the position and velocity of every particle in a gas chamber does that somehow lower it's temperature? No.

Macro-states summarize perfect information. But with knowledge of perfect information, you still have the ability to summarize it. Or in other words, probability still exists even when you have perfect knowledge of everything and the future.
I have WhatsApp installed for two different group chats, Google Chat for another couple of group chats, but apart from that SMS is the standard here (which means opportunistically iMessage / Signal). I'm in Australia, where SMS typically have no per-message cost (the only thing that's charged per use on most mobile plans here is data and international calls).
It was certainly after the backlash, perhaps even after they lost the lawsuit.
