you can equally say - where did it come from?

It went back to where it came from: nowhere. Market cap is a completely made up concept in the first place.
It was created for a couple of purposes:

- Add an unnecessarily complex psuedo-intellectual layer to the discussion in order to catch normal people off guard and make them feel "uneducated" so that they can be "educated".

- Decouple the idea of normal from heterosexuality, which is, frankly, normal due to it being the most common state for of existence for people.

Overall it is a purposeful attack on the status quo. In summary, "cis" as a term is unnecessary.
Er, it's not that hard. Think about git repos, they have refs that point to a tip that you traverse. This would work the same way.

And in fact CID and chunking is what makes this possible...

Ipfs is in fact ripe and perfect for some of these sorts of things and I highly suspect we're going to see more innovation in this space, in applications that are actually pushing the envelope, now that there's a sold rust impl
> not been bullied by the art critics

Maybe I've just a man of discerning taste :-/. Jokes aside, I used to spend a lot of time in architecture and visual art studios. Sometimes flipping canvas or conceptual models around will make stuff from looking wrong to right. Get opinion from a group and it won't be 50/50 opinion, there would be some sort of consensus when something simply feels better. Perhaps it's just drinking big design koolaid, being "trained" / "bullied" by the system.
What is the difference between a commercial UNIX workstation and a Mac?
Genuinely asking, I've never used a commercial UNIX workstation like you're describing.
10ish years ago there was a big kerfuffle about a semi famous author who got his account closed, and then it turned out that he was semi famous for...writing fictional child porn. Some people argue they fictional / textual child porn should be legal, but Google would never allow that in their servers.

No idea about this case, but there are grey areas and the cowardly position is the legally/socially safest one, regardless of what one local police department decided. It doesn't make Google right, but it is what it is.
IMO the real problem is that FB/Meta lacks game development expertise and creating attractive/fun VR universes seems like it's fundamentally a game development problem.

Creating a successful game is not easy, it takes a certain skill set, and the vision that Zuckerberg has demonstrated (virtual offices, museums and meetings) seems completely boring.

I think there might also be a branding problem because a lot of the stuff that people might actually want to do in VR (guns, violence, sex, tentacles, unsavory avatars) can't really happen under the FB/Meta umbrella because they need to remain family and business-friendly, but that stuff obviously has huge revenue potential, so others will beat them to it.

I'm also wondering if VR will continue to remain niche all the way until we have direct brain interfaces where things actually look and feel real.
> the market believes profits will cut in half and then stabilize.

This isn’t true. The market believes Meta will still grow, just slower than before. If they believe growth is zero, as you indicate with “stabilize”, their PE ratio will plummet even further.

Democracies are totally capable of starting wars, but there is a stable way out when they have made a big mistake; the next election. George W. Bush and Lyndon Johnson both lost popularity, and then their faction lost power, because they had picked a bad war to fight in. It doesn't mean the next faction is any smarter or wiser, but it does at least provide them the opportunity to pretend that they would never have gotten us into such a mess, and exit (although in this respect, Obama was far wiser than Nixon). It's largely forgotten now, but the first President Bush had gotten the U.S. into a war in Somalia, but the incoming President Clinton knew a quagmire when he saw one, and was able to cut and run quickly, because he was not (as Putin is now) forced to pretend that it had been a good idea in the first place.

If there were a parliamentary way for Putin to exit stage left, Russia could just admit that they've lost and get out. Because they do not and cannot, they must try to find some way to pretend that it can still be won.
No large business has ever said "I'll let my customers do whatever they want until the police forcibly stop them". It's too risky and unsavory. They set up a buffer around the law. Even legal adult porn is enough to get in trouble with Google.
Both Udemy and GameDev.tv have very good tutorials and you can get them on sale for about $10 or so every now and then, especially in Humble Bundles. I've been taking several of their blender courses and it depends on what specifically you want to learn. An excellent overall Blender course is The Blender 2.8 Encyclopedia. It covers many subjects, as the name implies. It is constantly updated whenever Blender comes out with new stuff. Their Unity 3d course is the best. I took it for over a year because there were so many lessons and I learned a great deal.

Fair enough, but that’s also why it’s so hard to define your content moderation policy, because the definition of “distasteful”, etc. varies between people and over time.
Paying for a million fake users would be peanuts to a state actor. Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc... These users post on average 2 tweets per hour (my personal observation, not a reliable data point). A million users tweeting twice every hour that's 1.5B tweets. Per month.

I agree that introducing paid accounts would make it harder for content farms to exist - primarily due to the fact that they would need a very large number of bank accounts and/or payment cards. However I don't think it's a real solution to this problem. Maybe as a part of some holistic anti-bot system? Yes, that could work.

That's true, but that only reinforces what I'm saying. Lets say you have a working kexec setup so you never need to reboot, that is very likely to increase the need for you to be able to robustly restart trees of dependent services in userspace.
What you said earlier doesn't imply anything about derived works; just that the original goes on: "The only things you can't do are deny access to that which you were given for free from the next guy, or scrub the existing credits to pretend you wrote it." Now you're saying you can't keep private what you added, which is a change.

Google paid billions for the duplicated Nix library and then gave it away under a more permissive license. (That can't be said of all of Android, we agree, but I didn't mention all of Android.) You can't give everything to competitors all the time in business, in every circumstance.
Northern Exposure did this - another TV show that had a spectacularly well considered soundtrack, but licensing costs were onerous.

Though evidently the first season release did include original music, but had an exorbitant (retail) price - subsequent seasons they did the ol' elevator music swap-in.

Aside - it explains why, so I've been told, there's two similarly popular torrents out there, one high-quality DVD-rip with a bad score, and one low-quality VHS-rip with the original score.

This brings back memories! My first job out of school was with a mostly SunOS shop. After 8-bit micros and then the very first Macintoshes, plus the various oversubscribed machines they had at school, it felt so "big league"! Good times.
In the 80s and 90s, they were significantly faster and more capable than their PC / Mac analogues. Double or triple the speeds and feeds, ten times the price ;)

By the 2000s the advantages had more or less vanished and the workstation SKUs were discontinued one by one.

If you want to make facetious arguments, starlink only needs up to “42,000 satellites, thousands of launches to install and ultimately maintain, plus a fleet of space ships”… I’m being charitable and not mentioning that each of those potential 42,000 needs replacing on a 5 year cycle - they don’t just go up there and stay there forever.

5000 or whatever towers ain’t insurmountable - the USA already has a huge percentage of the population covered today - and has nice benefit of being an already profitable business to be in, and construction can be done by anyone with hands, tools and a vehicle. The tower probably even lasts longer than 5 years.
Which is REALLY nice. Thanks!
100 people own 1 share each of a company at $1.00 a share: 100 shares times $1.00 = $100 market cap. Then a new person wants to buy a share from one of the existing owners. The existing owner wants $1.10. Now the stock is worth $1.10 and the value of all 100 shares is $110. The person who sold their 1 share made 10 cents profit, but the remaining $9.90 of new market capitalization was created out of thin air and doesn't exist until those owners are able to sell their shares on the market.
Exactly that, thank you. Myself, I'm far too optimistic, and I held out hope for companies (like Theranos) long after HN has gone super skeptical on them.
Think use a real line discipline like n 8 1 would make more semantic sense than 'use a real lanaguage'.

That surprised me too. Any serious user of Excel has typed in a text-based formula. More proficient users can drop down into VBA and write code that interacts with the spreadsheet using a DOM-like object model - which seems to exactly match the definition of "programming portal" described in the article. And this VBA code doesn't just have to be a simple macro to save a few keystrokes - it can be a full-blown GUI application that connects to a database or controls another program.
How much are voting rights worth in practice though, from a single entity? It is only really important if they would have the swing vote, or if something requires unanimous decision.

This is certainly true. The stagnation is what is causing low sales volume.

Every home owner in America has a 2 - 3% mortgage rate while today's rate is 7%. And they are sitting on equity gained during 0% interest era. There is no reason for sellers to sell. If they sell and buy again, they'll change their rate from 2-3% to 7%. No one is stupid enough to do that.

And buyers can't afford the massive increase in home prices during covid plus 7% mortgage rates.

So we have a stalemate. Hence, home sales keep on falling. The only group selling are institutional investors such as Blackrock or Opendoor because they need to free up cash.
I suspect Dubai's taken over since the Ukraine war and Russian oligarchs being sanctioned (even when those who donated to the Tory party were given plenty of advance notice to shelter their assets with a nod and a wink). That spooked all other shady money, and they decamped to the UAE where dirty money is welcomed with open arms. After all, before the discovery of oil, the economy of Dubai was based on smuggling gold to India.
The rules should be applied wherever they are broken, but that doesn't mean we should hold Trump or Marjorie Green or Kanye West unaccountable. They have rightfully earned their bans.

> - USSR voluntarily disbanded.

That's a stretch. Several of the constituent republics declared independence prior to the final dissolution, and these were militarily (if ineffectually) contested. The final dissolution itself was instigated by a failed coup that saw the Soviet president lose all political capital in favor of the Russian president.

> Sole claim to global relevancy for Moscow is the soviet era nuclear arsenal.

They retain a permanent, veto-wielding seat on the UN Security Council. They are one of the largest suppliers of troops to foreign countries--I believe the largest if you exclude those countries who would get squeamish about raping the local civilian populace or the like. Again, one of the largest supplies of arms to other countries, and you have only to look at UN resolutions to confirm that that does convey an amount of soft power. They are also one of the largest energy exporters in the world, and (with German acquiescence) that has given them a noose tied around Europe's neck that may prove painful indeed in the 2023-2024 winter.

> The US dollar is used for international trade and the people who move off it get invaded for unrelated reasons.

Who? Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran haven't been invaded... Oh right, you're talking about those countries which didn't move off of it but talked about it like once a decade before the unrelated invasion.
I know you adore when random people give you lifestyle advice, but I’ll take this chance to share an anecdote about screen use. My apologies.

I have a habit of spending most waking time on a screen. The other night I laid in bed without a screen for 5 hours trying to fall asleep. The next day I had significantly more energy. My conclusion is that laptop/smartphone use takes a lot of energy. And today, I read that the brain is 20% of energy usage. Maybe visual processing is a big slice of that 20%?

TBH Kim Jung Gi drawing process sometimes feels closer to watching an AI creation than a person.

I feel bad for anime artists (well all artists), they work particularly hard. But there are a lot of good manga drawn by mediocre artists, if there's option to change them stylistically closer to much more proficient masters (like a video game remaster), I'd do it in a heart beat. There's going to be audience out there for OG Tomohirio One Punch Man squiggles, but there's a reason it gained mainstream popularity after being redrawn by Murata.

I'm also just waiting for AI to generate music based off the few particular songs I like.

> Decouple the idea of normal from heterosexuality

Um, no, other than arguably being wrong on the broad kind of motivation in either case, you seem to have also confused the word “cisgender” (or “cis” for short) with the word “heterosexual”.

Transgender people can be heterosexual or homosexual or asexual or any other sexuality, and the same is true of cisgender people; having a term to refer to people who do not deviate from the until-recently-in-our-society culturally obligatory stereotypical relation of gender identity and sex characteristics at birth does nothing to reduce heteronormativity of language compared to just referring to them as “normal” (and then, depending on context, elaborating further on the axis of normality and possibly whose norms are being referenced), to the extent that having a word does that, its the word for people who don’t deviate from the until-recently-in-our-society culturally obligatory stereotype of sexual preference for partner gender based on their own gender.

But, independent of undermining the norms involved, its sometimes useful to be have a convenient concise term, which both “cisgender” and “heterosexual”, in their respective domains, provide.
I was attending a wedding and everything was arranged for me so i just 'arrived' as a white westerener.
Yes it was strange, and it exposed me to something I had never before experienced or imagined. Wherever I went they would yell 'gora' meaning white man. Some even wanted to take my picture.

However, Amritsar is famous for the golden temple which is the the holiest of all Sikh shrines. They said it was most beautiful to view at night. So we went there late at night parking closeby , walking there there we passed by the rickshaw drivers sleeping in their rickshaws as far as i could gather they had no other place to sleep.
So they had it even worse.

Not to mention the child beggars of New delhi or the makeshift camps you saw driving along the highway.

All of this was approx 10 years ago.

It for sure opened my eye to the destitute and poverty.

This is where I think his detractors overlook the real benefits he brings. He is fearless and will willingly take long shot bets down roads where others don’t dare tread. His willingness to take the big risk has resulted in some transformative leaps. He’s either very lucky and not very good, or very good and not very lucky, but more likely has a lot of both going for him.
Yeah this hits a little too close to home.

This is a similar reasoning to claiming that college is not useful because people such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or the Zucc did not need it to do well. It's a form of cargo culting.

> There is no “one size fits all” database engine, that was proved by both WebSQL and IndexedDB.

It was not proven at all. WebSQL was deprecated based on "we don't want to standarize on single project". IndexedDB happened because they wanted to standarize on single API (lmao), but it was just too inept.

There is no one size fits all but WebSQL fit A LOT of use cases.

Low level storage that works for DBs is interesting idea but that also means you need to ship additional megabytes of code with every app.
Check out Ashley Vance’s biography of Musk. One anecdote that sticks out in my memory is he was both scientifically knowledgeable enough and knee-deep enough in what SpaceX was doing to realize that they didn’t need to buy a certain hundred dollar (or something) existing part to use it for their rockets because they could make their own that did the specific thing they needed it to do for a few cents.

Yes. Dark matter is typically modeled as approximately dark… dark enough to have evaded experiments so far, and bright enough to have a footprint on phenomena (newly) observed at a fine level of sensitivity.

I’m glossing over important technical details, but roughly imagine that anything can typically interact with electromagnetism at least indirectly/weakly (very difficult to screen absolutely).
