The significance is that even though you can port a number from provider 1 to provider 2 and then port it again from provider 2 to provider 3, practically the number remains at provider 1 who forwards it first to provider 2 and later to provider 3. But the number remains with provider 1 because it is part of a range serviced by that provider. That is the only ownership like claim there is.

The fact the providers provide this forwarding service doesn’t mean the costumer gets a claim to the number, which is what this article is all about. A customer angry the number was ‘taken’ from him. It was never his. The providers are required to provide the porting service but if something goes wrong and a number is somehow lost, the costumer doesn’t have a right to go and demand it back from someone. Just like when the providers renumber an area, people come and complain they have to redo their preprinted letters and the lettering on their cars. Too bad, the number is not yours.

He can go and ask to get his number back, or he can make demands and then try complaining to the FCC. But I don’t think they’ll do anything.
No, it doesn't show that it's bad. It only shows that basically nobody knows that they exist, which is basically a death sentence for social networks.

Nonetheless, the distinction makes sense as otherwise you're just opening the doors to endless discussions about what is "better".
> So what's to be done about the actual, real harm being done, while also protecting free speech?

IMO, the solution is to teach and reward critical thinking and questioning authority instead of blind obedience and defering to others who know best.

All policing disinformation does is make people afraid of questioning what they are told - and that will still hold true once the authority they follow changes to one you disaprove of.
You buy or found them and make yourself CEO.

The real question is whether someone can be CEO of 5 companies and do a good job.

Personally, I think Musk is much better at being a brand than a CEO. But you can hide a lot behind smoke and mirrors if you're the richest person in the world and other rich people will throw money at you just to be your friend.
In many companies CEO is mostly a salesman and his role is to get as many investment flowing in as possible.
So it means they have to be a good actor, dress nicely and go to fund raising parties.
Often they are hired just for their name - so investor who knows them, feel more reassured about investing in "their" company.
To add to that, how many did Twitter gain in that same period?

There are people whose follower counts increased dramatically, which would suggest there was a large influx there too.
You're right about the experiments, but you underestimate how many orders of magnitude you are away from a cat. Not only is there the orders of magnitude in terms of atomic size, you also have to consider the orders of magnitude of time as well, since the thought experiment implicitly takes place at human time scales, where we are presumably waiting at least a couple of seconds to open the box. Adding them both together probably puts us a good 15-20 orders of magnitude away from a cat. It is difficult to imagine what box could isolate something that large that thoroughly for that period of time; it gets multiplicatively harder as you add those constraints, if not exponentially (depending on the circumstances), not merely additively.
It's too early to tell with Twitter.
> One of the big reasons why FP languages have so little penetration is because the advocacy usually feels like someone trying to talk you into a religion.

This is a part of it. The other part is FP's a bit of a mind fuck if you're used to procedural programming. Take a classic example: Haskell. To do anything remotely productive it's advisable to understand how monads and the various monad design patterns fit together. This difficulty is further compounded by monads having it's foundation in category theory, a branch of mathematics. But hey, they're just monoids in the category of endofunctors, it can't be that hard ;) You can rely on `do` syntax a lot but it really helps to learn how they work.

> I immediately distrust any article that makes sweeping claims about one-paradigm-to-rule-them-all.

I get where you're coming from but this is the end state as far as I'm concerned. Pure FP is where we're all headed. I am convinced the more we try to make mutable state, and concurrency safe and correct, the more FP concepts will leech into future languages.

Rust was one of the first steps toward this. The language is procedural but a lot of the idiomatic methods of doing things are functional at heart. Not to mention most of it's syntax constructs return values. You can still mutate state, but it's regulated through the type system and you can avoid it if you really want to.

Rust's enums, arguably one of it's killer features are algebraic data types and they're combined together the way you would use monads in Haskell. This not only avoids null typing (if you ignore ffi), but also provides a bullet-proof framework for handling side-effects in programs.

I could be totally crazy, but I reckon many years from now, we'll joke about mutating state the same way we joke about de-referencing raw pointers.
Perhaps by influencing developers and architects directly? Everybody searches for something like "how to implement 2FA nodjs" or "2FA best practices."

Flood the web with search-engine-optimized articles and tutorials around such phrases. Publish them on high-traffic sites and make them rank high. Content copycats will then organically spread those best practices through the web over time.

SMS-based 2FA has its simplicity/security trade-offs. But what really gets on my nerves is when websites don't even offer better 2FA options like software tokens and hardware tokens to power users.

For that problem, the articles can include content templates with instructions to users about buying hardware keys or installing 2FAS/Authy/GoogleAuth. Front-end devs can then just paste those templates in their HTML.
The repository for Proton Mail Bridge (which is open source) claims to also host the source for the Import Export app.

Here: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge

Briefly looking at the files and code it's hard to tell whether that is still the case, but it's fair to assume Import-Export would reuse most of the machinery behind Bridge.
Do you think their business model expired or do you think the products and services they provide are obsolete?
> implementing it on a massive scale front-end application just seems impractical.

I was using Clojure/ClojureScript around the same time. I’ve since worked primarily in TypeScript/JavaScript. I’m sure the FP experience influenced my opinion, but it seems impractical to me not to use FP techniques for a large scale frontend application. The applications I inherited and maintain now, which were certainly not originally implemented with FP techniques, have been gradually becoming much more maintainable as I’m able to eliminate or at least ruthlessly isolate mutations. Not only because the code itself is easier to reason about, but also because it’s easier to reason about dependencies between different parts of the systems—even parts which haven’t changed.
I don't know. Many of us live with disease of one sort or another; I was just saying that in my personal experience, while a 6-pack a day might seem like a lot to some, it's really not the depraved, want-to-die-alcoholic consumption level.
I think for other countries that would be very and rapidly true. I wonder how it will be for the US. It's one force for sure, but I think the US (with it's economic size and "credit history" and high demand for USD) will be able to ignore it for quite a while...

My always-unpopular opinion on this is that way, way too few Americans actually pay any Federal income tax.
As someone that's left scala and come back to dotnet land... depending on the domain, functional programming results in much cleaner solutions. A lot of the code messes in functional paradigms that I dealt with and also created were mostly due to people that didn't understand how to think functionally. It took a long time for me to figure it out. I find myself missing features all the time now, and spending a whole lot more time fixing bugs that simply wouldn't exist had people just applied more functional principles in their code. I understand where you're coming from with your frustrations, but I would personally attribute that to the LISP culture problem that I also saw with the hardcore functional programmers. Everyone would just nerd snipe themselves into re-inventing the wheel.

Also, my dotnet contemporaries on average do not care as much about code quality as people did when I was in scala land. But this might just be a company culture thing.
Well yeah. If you exclude people like him who got famous on YouTube, then it, indeed, will turn out that nobody becomes famous on YouTube. I have zero idea what your point is trying to illustrate.

What's so special about Justin Bieber that disqualifies him from being counted as someone who became famous on YouTube?
> Yes as far as I know all functional languages have some kind of Optional or Maybe type as a solution, but there are non-functional languages with this solution as well.

Optional/Maybe values are tedious if we don't have functions/methods like map, flatMap, etc. which take functions as arguments. That requires first-class functions, which pushes things further in the direction of FP.

I think of things on a spectrum, e.g. more-functional/less-functional, rather than having a hard cutoff of "this is FP" or "this isn't FP".
Functional or procedural or whatever, it doesn't matter much for me as long as the paradigm is not OOP.

I strongly believe that data should live separate from the actions performed on it. I also believe that inheritance is a bad thing as there are other, better means to achieve polymorphism.

I do believe in a data oriented programming where we waste as little CPU cycles as possible and introduce as little abstractions as possible.
Good talent combined with exceptional skill in making stuff run itself.

I'm sure many CEOs are spending a lot of time keeping things going..

He sold to RHEL and then RHEL sold to IBM and then CentOS was changed. I don't think selling to RHEL is the condemning move here.
As stupid as it sounds I really, really enjoyed serving court summons as a side job during school. I got to get out, drive around, and see lots of places. You never really knew what to expect and I liked the unpredictability of it, every trip was different form the last.
Just don't include non-sense jargon in languages we are good to go. Elixir | Elm is dead simple FP you barely care about "FP", it's just module and functions. No monad, typeclass, lens(I still don't know this one, what it is).

Me too. They swapped it into a miles based subscription, which I wasn't interested in, saying that the old app couldn't be supported any more, as if they were forced into writing a new app and changing business model. This was on Android, and I did try the new app, which was not good. Been using Google maps ever since, despite it not being anywhere near as good in terms of giving directions at junctions, etc.
Hate the “well everyone uses cases” argument to the lens creep. I’ve never used a phone case, never smashed a screen, also I don’t see the point in the fetishization of materials if it’s just gonna be covered in a case anyway, may as well be plastic from that logic.
It can't be automated and expect decent quality

You can at best have another AI trying to pick the best option generated by other AIs but you'll likely still have a human deciding.

We're still far from General AI.
A 1 lb saving saves $2,600 in fuel costs over the life of the craft.

However, an airline's break even point is a portion of that (perhaps $1,000) because the fuel costs are spread out over the life of the craft and there is an opportunity cost to spending money on the more efficient plane.

Of that $1,000, the aircraft maker will only capture a portion of the value - the airline expects to do better than break even. The airplane manufacturer may be able to charge $500 more for the aircraft.

They might hope to make 2,000 aircraft for something big like a 787 (although that number varies a lot depending on the model). That's 2,000 units times $500 = $1 million.
It seems to me research centers outside of China are used to recruit willing experts from other companies whose knowledge of proprietary information can then be unethically harvested and absorbed by Huawei.
Can you explain why you had a thought, however? And how many levels deep? Only as many as someone cares to ask, I'd wager.

You have developed the capability of explaining your actions as resulting from your thoughts, because there is someone on the other side who is ready to accept and evaluate your explanations.

Others have no such affordance, so their brains get trained in prejudices and superstitions indead. Even if an explanation of an action is given in good faith and accepted by the recipient, it can still be factually incorrect.
Google maps has a free open api, haha JK pay us now that you've built on top of google!
You could solve 90% of this by having a yubikey be built into the phone itself. Non-techies would be "using their phone" and people who care could get a stand-alone yubikey thing.
I've been in basically the same mental state a couple times. What helped for me (unordered):

1. Different employer - over half the places I've worked have been toxic... and even some of the not toxic ones ended up inducing burnout due to corporate issues

2. Adderall - not a wonder drug... but helps postpone burnout

3. Getting a dog - wonderful for my mental health in general

For me at least, burnout was mostly a reaction to being in toxic environments. I think I could have gone straight from one of my terrible jobs, unproductive jobs to one of my good ones and been productive right off the bat.
Up to date stats from "Mastodon Users @mastodonusercount@bitcoinhackers.org" from 1h ago:

5,823,653 accounts
+1,487 in the last hour
+28,688 in the last day
+186,724 in the last week

For comparison, it looks like a month ago it was more like a few dozen new users an hour. Now it's over a thousand each hour and generally climbing.

Not saying this rate of increase will continue, but it's definitely a huge spike.
The Great Lakes area is a good place to be to shield yourself from natural disasters of any kind, including any extreme climate events to come, other than maybe another ice age.

For what it's worth, I live in the Gulf Coast, which is home to some of the highest wet-bulb temperatures in the country; and temperatures here appear to be moderating, if anything. The average temperature in the state of Mississippi, for example, remained virtually constant over the last century, rising by 0.1ºF, compared to the nationwide average of 1.8ºF.

Light Years (Dmitri Cherniak)
Blind guessing is not related to the type system. Nobody has claimed type systems can solve that. What they can do is force you to guess, and make it clear where that is occurring.

This, again, goes back to a very broken understanding of types systems that I often see, and once held myself. The claim of type systems is not that they magically go out into the world and fix the external world to be well-typed; the claim is that it forces your code to deal with the conversion of the external world into a clean internal representation, and presumably, to have a clean error pathway when that fails. Dynamically-typed code will let you float along much more easily. Statically-typed code can still be written that way, but at least then it's poor statically-typed code. In some circles that sort of broken dynamic code is essentially idiomatic. (Though that is fading away as every year more programmers learn how bad an idea that is.)

Like what? You’re paying for engineering, which provides stability, and support. There’s nothing from Red Hat that isn’t upstream for free. They even open source companies that they purchase (like 3scale). The base OS has multiple clones (Alma, Rocky, etc.), Satellite comes from Foreman, AAP2 comes from Ansible and AWX, IdM from FreeIPA, OpenShift from OKD, and the list goes on. The only thing I can think of that doesn’t have an upstream equivalent Insights, but that’s because it uses RedHat’s ML systems, and connecting your systems to theirs costs money. Insights-core is open source, but may not provide much value since you can’t connect to RH’s backend.
The OG Magic Mouse that took AA batteries was a far superior product. Mine still works. They got it right, and then took a step backwards both in convenience and in repairability.
Just think of the companies whose brand is represent by color. Coca Cola is certainly one but there's John Deere green, UPS brown, Caterpillar yellow, T-mobile pink, and Home Depot orange. I'm sure there are many international firms as well. Color is just as important to these companies as is their logo and they want to be damn sure it is represented accurately everywhere.
You basically need a backup token of some sort. Which, of course, makes them an even tougher sale to a mainstream audience.

So what you're really saying is, it's perfectly okay for AI to have negative preconceptions and concrete impacts to certain groups of people, as long as it agrees with you on which groups are bad.

How would you feel about AI models that classify all modern white people as racists based on overwhelming historical data about slavery, the KKK, etc.? Hey man, data doesn't lie.
I'm pretty sure this is a BS marketing claim. Their site mentions "We compress raw recording data up to 3,750x times". This is just the regular hardware supported h.265 codec that comes in every mac. They're claiming "up to" because there are compressed frames such as B-frames that are the smallest frames which can typically be as small as 2000 - 4000 bytes. So if you look at an uncompressed 4k frame (3840 pixels * 2160 pixels * 10 colordepth)/ 8 = 10.368 MB. So an uncompressed frame of 10.368 MB / 2700 Bytes (H265 B-Frame) will give you ~3750X compression.

I could be wrong but I'm skeptical about this claim because video compression can't be done so simply just by creating a new algorithm and writing it in software. Especially the newer codecs such as h265, h266, and AV1 must be in hardware or else it would be too computational heavy and your device will just choke up trying to spend so much cpu time compressing when you're trying to run other processes.

Also if it was their own video compression, they would have to write their own decoder for their own player for every device. That is way too much for a start up to take on. It just smells like BS to me.

I had an email account suspended by Protonmail for using single-digit aliases for testing, took me a week to get it back, and that was only after signing up for LinkedIn premium to be able to message a non-robot.

Not a Protonmail fan.
This but unironically. The 355 ship navy and 386 squadron air force won't build themselves. All those HIMARS, NASAMS, Stingers, Javelins, and counter battery radars we sent to Ukraine also need to be replenished.
Although Gwynne Shotwell manages day to day ops at SpaceX in her role as COO (including executing existing strategy), it's likely she's driving new strategy with Elon's decisionmaking where relevant, so she's essentially steering the ship at this point and has been for what, a decade? She's been at SpaceX for 20 years but at this point SpaceX is likely profitable from BAU so it's not a surprise that she's likely running nearly everything.

TL;DR: Gwynne Shotwell runs SpaceX.

A business I'm building makes data monitoring hardware and software to help farmers/growers reduce water/fertiliser usage and prevent externalities like pesticide spray drift and grass fires. If I create "wealth" for myself from this company, it will only be because I've succeeded at helping large numbers of growers achieve the above outcomes.

I'm unaware of anyone whose money or opportunity is being reduced through this, perhaps apart from some minor reductions in turnover for fertiliser and pesticide companies.
