> And the people filing obviously make sure their language doesn't easily bring back prior art. Meanwhile you have no skin in the game at all.

You'd think so, but standard operating procedure for most patent prosecution is to intentionally not perform a prior art search. If you do find something relevant, you have to disclose it in your IDS. So let's say you pop in a few search terms into google patents, and there's ten thousand hits. You know only a few are relevant, but you don't know which few. And if you don't submit the relevant reference that was on page 99 of those search results, your patent could be invalidated in litigation some day because it could be construed that you were hiding that reference from the examiner. So you might think that you should just submit all 10k references? Wrong again, it could look like you're trying to bury some super important reference in a sea of garbage. So by opening one browser tab and typing in a couple of search terms, you've essentially shot yourself in the foot one way or another, and any patent that ever is issued from your search will have a target on it's back forever. So, most patent attorneys will ask the client for relevant references to cite in the IDS and have a standard practice to not perform any prior art searching for prosecution purposes. Patent attorneys are a paranoid bunch.
I was thinking that too, but this description makes it seem more like a type of windowing rather than the position encoding in a transformer (which is fixed):
"the information [...] gets passed between different neural populations in a predictable way, which serves to time-stamp each sound with its relative order.”

That’s an ok argument but you know why that doesn’t happen right?

Companies get defensive at the mere suggestion of paying anything, NPE streamlines the process
TFA is about Board Executives.
My default position is misinformation because I think people being dumb is more likely then them attempting to gaslight others. They get the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, but it definitely raises suspicion.

The same goes for dog whistling. It is easy to see dog whistling everywhere because that's its entire purpose: to hide within normalized speech. Covert speech is not covert if the only ones using that speech are manipulators. But that's why fighting it is so hard, because you don't know who's a useful idiot and who's a manipulator. But it is clear that the manipulators hide in a sea of useful idiots and parrots.

So I think good faith is trying to extract the signal from the noise and to differentiate the two rather than assuming maliciousness.
You can't really be making the case that people aren't rewriting everything in Rust enough.
I used Waze constantly in the DC area, was a godsend. Then I moved to Seattle where apparently comparatively nobody uses it -- without a ton of users, Waze isn't much better than the rest, sadly.
And CDR and LUD. Call Data Records (numbers, time, duration) and Local Usage Detail (they use "LUDs" on TV)
I once had a forum on the back of a digital product (plans to build something.) It was really cool as people would post build logs, community helped everyone, lots of pics, etc. It was fun. And the business was/is a side hustle where I spend about 2 hours a month but make enough to send my kid to college.

But some trolls and people who REALLY cared about non-important parts of the product (to me) started posting a LOT. So I killed it off over needing to maintain it and deal with the 1/100 rude person. Just too much work and stress. The real value was maybe SEO at the time, but since Google sank all forums, probably doesn't matter that much.

So I'm curious to see the answers here!
That’s probably what flagged them in the first place: Lots of withdrawals without any deposits or sales, so appeared to be a site operator.
270B trees @22kg/year, right?

You cut them down each year and replant, or assume that there are no trees locking up 22kg CO2/year for more than 1 year?

If they aren't in poverty you have more options for reducing pollution.

When someone is so poor that they can just barely feed themselves and their family, you can't realistically expect them to do much to reduce pollution. You can't really enforce pollution regulation because they can't pay fines and tossing them in prison only makes things worse.

When they're able to afford some luxuries they're capable of devoting more thought towards their environment and can afford to spend more for more environmentally friendly living.
ever heard the expression "it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six" ?
While I agree completely, it seems that legislative ability is captured by the upper class, reinforcing the cycle of self-enrichment at the cost of global good.

I guess the root question is: how should middle class people wage class warfare?
It's the double standards, you know. Not being able to vote, and so... While the US and its war machine has lost track of destroyed countries in this last decades in an Orwellian permanent conflict.

But the bad guys are the chinese, who hasn't been involved in a war in 40 years.
“Impressive. Most impressive.”
China did something prescient roughly a couple decades ago which the US missed the ball on: they set up that entire manufacturing zone, famous for the contract manufacturers used by Dell, Apple, ...., Google etc., such that one critical aspect unrelated to tech savvy was optimized.

They made sure that the availability of components for all these global (mostly US it seems) companies wanting to rent time in their factories would face minimal supply chain difficulties, by making the component availabilities a local thing.

It's very orthogonal to all you mentioned, which I agree is logical. Also, programming the robots could be done domestically, then binaries of the programs run in the contract manufacturing facilities. Point is, I think what you emphasize actually has long been a priority.
The patent was handed over to our debt financing company (WTI) and sits idle.

The actual patent covered the method for tracking time without power and for synchronizing clocks over a low power mesh network
You can use either Kindle or Kobo, they both let you load the files manually. I actually use the iPad Mini 6 for reading technical books. Its screen, color, and ability to zoom is perfect. I use Apple Books to load the epub or PDF.
>Elon's primary motivation is quite well documented

Huh? Where?

I haven’t seen anything about buying Twitter being related to space missiles. This claim needs a lot more evidence, it sounds more like a conspiracy theory.

All the evidence I’ve seen honestly just seems to point to politically moderate people like Musk genuinely being concerned about Twitter’s previously heavy-handed approach to banning/silencing people that disagreed with their political views. There are tons examples of popular right-leaning accounts being banned/suspended for saying the wrong thing, the Babylon Bee being an obvious tipping point.
2015 to be precise, which is fairly late in the game. I was at a conference a few years prior to that and some guy was bragging about all the stuff they can find out about people based on their data this and data that.

There is some obsession amongst a subset of techies with knowing everything, and that extends to the daily minutiae of the lives of others.
There is no such thing as 'good advertising', least of all on a mobile platform that has to fit the maximum possible ads into a small phone screen viewport.

As a child, I remember very creative ads for Smirnoff vodka; those would not be possible today because marketing budgets simply see more ROI in targeted advertising, which tends to be bland text search ads or ugly display ads like this.

The days of Mad Men style aspirational, full-page, high production quality ads are gone, thanks to Real Time Bidding ad networks that made Google and Facebook their fortune. We've been living in the RTB world for close to 20 years.
These kind of things aren't binary; some groups, on average, have it better in one area, and worse in another. But I don't think that should really come in to play when we're talking about one specific area (car crashing, in this case).

The world is complex, and when dealing with groups of people even more so.
One comes preinstalled with every major mobile OS...
1. I run a Discord server for people immigrating to Portugal.

2. Transparency in moderation is key. I have as few rules as possible and keep them as unambiguous as I can. This scales fine (I have moderated larger communities before). For my current community, I have a channel where I discuss the circumstances around each ban or muting. This is really only possible because of the size of the server—if it becomes too difficult to continue doing so, I will cease, but I will make sure to inform everyone in the server so they are aware.

3. I have not monetized the community at this time. When it gets larger I plan on forming relationships with vendors (such as language teachers, immigration lawyers, or rental companies) allowing them to run paid server events or sell services while paying me a % of earnings.
> Lisp came out like a year later

In the early 1970s, almost every mainframe and minicomputer had a Fortran compiler available for it. Lisp was much rarer. Pascal had only just been invented and C was only just being invented. If you wanted your software to be as widely portable as possible, your choices were Fortran or Cobol, and no wonder why many preferred the former. (Especially if we are talking about software in academic/research environments, where Fortran was far more common than Cobol.)

This has little to do with Fortran and Lisp's respective years of introduction (1957 vs 1958), but rather how far they'd managed to spread in their first 15 years (almost everywhere for Fortran versus only to a narrow subset of academic research institutions for Lisp.)

> Fortran can only claim to be what we call "general purpose" for a very limited window of time in the very early stages of computing.

The timeframe in which Fortran saw “general purpose” use spanned at least a decade (maybe closer to two) and was after the “very early stages” (during which almost everything was in assembler - or even hand-assembled machine code - and portable code was basically unheard of)
The same magic that happens with autoscaling groups, if an instance or the app running on that instance die for any reason, it get recycled magically.
I believe opensnitch catches them.
This isn't even really a free speech issue. You can still change your name. Just not with a verified checkmark.

In fact we can think of twitter verification as a way of asserting that your name won't change. This way, people will trust the name more.

So true! A loop that crash at the first iteration of a zillion is quick as electricity in a NOR gate.
I love my Apple products but I am incredibly worried about Apple's future. I hate ads, I never see them, if something is showing me ads I pay to remove them or stop using that app/service. Currently I'm incessed by Zoom showing me ads after calls even though I pay for it monthly, I wish I could drop it.

It's incredibly saddening to see Apple start to put ads in more things. It's not the premium experience I'm looking for (and paying for). I love linux for servers but I'm sorry, the desktop is just not my cup of tea. One things on the mac that I enjoy is the quality and style of most 3rd party apps that I use. It's a level of polish that I don't see anywhere else, at least at the same consistency. Call me vain, call me whatever you want but I like looking at pretty UI, I'm staring at my monitors for 8+ hours a day, I'd like to enjoy what I'm doing. An ugly UI isn't unusable but it adds a small subconscious "tax" that is real and does add up (at least for me).
> I don't know why they would fix the time at 24hrs.

To use fear of missing out to cause people to check the app at least a couple times a day. It's an engagement hack, and the main reason I dislike this feature wherever it appears.
It's decentralized, not distributed. This shows the difference: https://medium.com/nakamo-to/whats-the-difference-between-de...

It's decentralized like email, not distributed like peer-to-peer protocols such as bittorrent. You can't use the same identity on another email server either. That said, I would like to see a distributed email and Mastodon.

And like email, you can't claim your nick on IRC if it is already in use on the same server.
It's hard to see it now but the mobile phone is a dying product category. Apple in a way acknowledged this when they started their pivot to services and the market acknowledged this when they became fixated on whether Apple could maintain revenues for iPhone upgrades (they can't). They are capturing the value they can from iPhone before its completely unprofitable because of new paradigms of computing that Apple themselves will be delivering. Nearly every major change or product release in Apple is well gamed out and planned for 5-10 years in advance, some of these moves longer. Withering the iPhone with Ads is a very deliberate decision and done so on a timetable with many other priorities and strategies. Part of maintaining relevancy is cannibalizing your own business with newer, better ways of delivering value. This is a way that Apple can extract the most profit from their cannibalization of iPhone.
Pretty sure both work the same way regarding metadata.

They don't, that's covered pretty extensively in the many technical writeups of various Signal features. It's one of the main value propositions of Signal, that it doesn't work like most secure messengers especially when it comes to metadata.
You just used the words "HTTP gateway" while trying to explain how to just view a profile. This is an absolute non-starter if Mastodon is going to compete with Facebook or Twitter with nontechnical users. Do you not see how comically user-hostile this is?
what about `mmap`?
Do you have strong opinions about what operating system you use? Makes me wonder what the most common area of the stack people's choices are for where their choice is strongly preferred in their computing experience.

Also, I imagine that team size and existing diversity of choice plays a role as well.
I mean what exactly about the pandemic made it jump from 15 to 400?
You don’t even have to go to different grocery stores. The same grocery store will use coupons to sell the same product at different prices to different people at different times.

The loyalty discount cards enabled them to mail you coupons specific to your purchasing habits, but the proliferation of apps has even further refined it to be on a day to day or even hour to hour basis with push notifications of coupons just for you in your app.
Even if we assume that the OP is telling exactly what happened rather than exaggerating (stories do tend to grow in the telling over 8 years), we don't actually know that this alleged data selling happened. All he knows is that somebody at a telco with an interest in getting Twitter's data claimed that the telco got more data from other companies. What other companies? No details. What data? No details. Was the guy from the telco telling the truth, or lying since that furthered their agenda? We have no way of judging that, and neither did the OP.

Spamming this submission with that hook (rather than the parts that the OP had actual direct knowledge of) is basically just spreading misinformation.
Risks of Mastodon for Journalists
Yes it is true.

The rules[0] state:

> What is required under this policy?

> To avoid confusing others about an account’s affiliation, parody, commentary, and fan accounts must distinguish themselves in BOTH their account name and bio

In the screenshots[1], you can see that he said the account is a parody in the bio, but not the name. Only specifying it in the bio means that you would look like a real account when tweet replying.

My point is that failure isn't a more real concern than it was previously, except for, largely, people who already hate Elon, or, perhaps in your case, for people who are misinformed about policy rules and violations.

Well thank you, too!

I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it is to think every organization should be running their own Mastodon server!
In some (even US) jurisdictions they call it 'mutual combat' [0] and overlook it. In some places like Washington State (not: not legal advice) one may be under the impression criminal-on-criminal combat is explicitly legal. There's also a lot of historical context (think outlaws in wild west) that suggests that those in the American West may culturally not find it surprisingly that the public would generally be OK with criminals doing themselves in.

It's my understanding that in Texas it may even be possible that killing thieves is legal there in some circumstances as well.

Edit: perhaps I wasn't as explicit in the part to read between the lines. The police in US are oft perceived as being more likely to 'overlook' or consider it 'mutual combat' for acts against criminals. I don't think the analysis "that has nothing to do with them being criminal" is really a fair conclusion.

I can't believe how many companies in general are leaking massive amounts of sensitive data to Microsoft. With Outlook alone MS much have an incredible amount of data on nearly every business and an unprecedented amount of insight into what they are doing.

Windows 10 has only made the problem worse. The last desktop PC I got from my company's IT department had windows 10 on it and it was configured to send every last keypress to MS. Why they had the Windows 10 keylogger enabled I'll never understand, but at least it was easy enough to disable.
i thought the idea that seed oils are bad is an alt right conspiracy?
The "native" location data that Telcos have is not very precise - think of accuracy of a few city blocks. That is good enough precision for traditional subpoenas, but not for the kind of application the author described.

Also telcos only have data for their customers - this gets them access to competitors' customers.
Yea great question. The bulbs were provisioned via an iOS app and there was a Wifi bulb sold that had a speaker in it (part of our pivot towards more marketable products)

The bulbs could have been updated either by A) having a wifi bulb that then synchronized each other node via a low power mesh network, or B) by opening the app and connecting to the network.

We effectively used the BLE radio to make a mesh network and a BLE device (phone) could connect and send and receive over the mesh.
You might be assuming that people interested in being on the fediverse have the goal of excessive reach. I acknowledge that some coming over from twitter might be interested in such a goal....but those individuals might simply not fully understand the compelling value that the fediverse (and mastodon instances) often represent. Not everyone wants/needs to reach 100M people.

- While, twitter (& other commercial socials) promise excessive/massive reach...The Fediverse might offer less, but richer interactions.

- While, twitter (& other commercial socials) promise users as cattle/"eyeballs" to ad buyers...The Fediverse offers none of that. (Though, individual instancves have every right and possibility if they
so choose to create their own ecosystem of ads to pay for their operations, and their people would need to know that of course)

- While, twitter (& other commercial socials) promise a platform for creators to publish their content to a wide audience...The Fediverse offers the same publishing (or better) capabilities and tools, but to a smaller audience...and, at least the existing creators on the Fedi are quite cool with that; most prefer it that way!

To me, living on the Fedi, is like people purposefully, willfully, happily (and not accidentally nor due to duress) moving to the rural country away from the big city...and not caring that others feel like "hey, the big city living is where everything is awesome" ;-)
As you know, these are very long. It seems like the Framework modules are much smaller than that and wouldn't be able to fit an SFP frame.

I don't see how we disagree. I am aware that capitalism and market based economies are not one-to-one. The share-holder system is what results in massive exploitation in capitalism. Market economies can also exploit but not in the same dispassionate way that share-holders do.
judgment is not the only reason for conversation, I strongly suggest you read back over the conversation from the beginning and endeavor to understand the context with which responses are made.

I also suggest you say 5 years instead of "half-a-decade", most of us see through that and it's off-putting.

Doesn't that assume "as soon as the economy slows down, the same people who invested money into equities will pull that money because they need it?"
I feel genuine empathy and a little vicarious sadness (not sarcastic or ironic) for all the Apple diehards who loyally went through thick and thin with Apple, including them nearly going out of business, only to discover that Apple is not Different or Exceptional and is, in reality, just another large publicly traded company with the goal of maximizing shareholder returns.

Ask HN: Why didn't the Amiga require that apps be written using safe languages?
Given that the Amiga didn't have memory protection, wouldn't it have been a good idea to require that all apps be written using safe languages?
