Another way to look at it is, since the bug is from a race condition, modeling your program after functional programming would minimize these bugs
This only applies to phones who remain continuously powered on and still retain the decryption key in memory. It's possible you turn on your old, unused phone, unlock it (putting the key in memory), and plug it in for years but the number of phones in this state are probably vanishingly small.
I'm sorry, I genuinely do not understand your point. If I think something you say is incorrect, and I say "Hey, I think this is not right. Not 100% sure, but I think it isn't", you're saying that this is not "saying that something is wrong"? English is my second language, so, I might be missing some nuance.
I suspect that the end goal with this carbon credits scheme is almost entirely control and surveillance. The effectiveness of the stated intent doesn't matter from that perspective. Once the system is in place, then it is gradually expanded to the individual level and someone has to keep tabs on everyone's credit balances after all. Think KYC but for everything but a bit worse. Good luck ;)
Well to be coy they do tend to fund Elon's other companies quite generously.
I wish Purdue Pharmaceuticals and the Sackler family had been before this judge and jury. They got off pretty easy by comparison.
That's the motivation to join the military, but people would be less willing to join and more interested in alternatives if the reality of war wasn't obscured by mass-media depictions.
Think about it from the perspective of the provider of the build platform (e.g. CircleCI, GitLab, GitHub). There are way fewer edge cases parsing YAML files than allowing Turing complete languages.
If the judge believes you: "Okay! Sucks for the cops."

If the judge does not believe you: "That's contempt. You can sit in jail until you decide to remember."

A better two words would be "hidden volume".

This is true even when not spoken by companies.
Where can you go that is better?
THere is nothing that says that we ever have to pay off the debt. Debt can, and has continued to accrue to this nation since its founding. It is middle school thinking that debt incurred today must be "paid by our children". It's just not at all how the national debt works...like at all.
Illustrates a case where even workers who have a good relationship with their management might benefit from a union. Management can change; then who is left to hold the new management to former promises?
I have such a feeling of tragedy about Python. I wish it had migrated to BEAM or implemented something similar, instead of growing all this async stuff. Whenever I see anything about Python asyncio, I'm reminded of gar1t's hilarious but NSFW rant about node.js, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzkRVzciAZg . Content warning: lots of swearing, mostly near the end.
My concern is that a large portion of the population who has traditionally used RPi for projects will have pivoted away to another platform by the time they are available again.

I'd like one so I can use it for Mathematica. Running it on my RPi B (the original) is pretty underwhelming these days.
No, that's the point. The people do exist, and aren't even uncommon. What doesn't exist -- at least replicably -- are the organizational structures around those people.
No, I don't think that's correct. I'm not a professional but.. despite unitarity and maybe CPT symmetry, I think that a given "past" (by which I think we mean the universal wavefunction at some t?) has no way of recording what its own state is. If measurements were to be done of subsets or the whole of the wavefunction, then it would, I imagine, contribute to the state of the wavefunction so as to evolve it. But keep in mind as well when we say "data" we're talking about state which can be measured, aren't we? Maybe some state can't be observed; and, the "universe" also definitely limits its own certainty anyway.
Jason: Back of the envelope... Twitter revenue per employee: $5B rev / 8k employees = $625K rev per employee in 2021 Google revenue per employee: $257B rev2/ 135K employee2= $1.9M per employee in 2021 Apple revenue per employee: $365B rev / 154k employees= $2.37M per employee in fiscal 2021

To be fair, we only know the source of the bug since it's open source. With iOS, we have no idea how bad the code is behind the scenes
Programs/functions like left-pad do not follow the unix philosophy (which the author did say). The idea of the unix philosophy is to write less programs. Not write a ton of tiny programs, but a small number of composable programs. So instead of left-pad, right-pad, middle-pad, and anything else to get specific need you can use sprintf which can format a string in general, one program that can do implement the features of all of those.

It is about “coding the permitter, not the area”, so if you have NxM features to build, don’t write N*M individual programs/functions, instead write N+M programs/functions that can be composed together to get all NxM features. This video explains it well: https://youtu.be/3Ea3pkTCYx4
Not necessarily, I work in materials R&D and in most cases real world edge cases can never all be discovered without development rate going to zero; this is due to unbounded complexity in the world.
I talked about waiters at high end restaurants because that's where the effect of tipping is most evident, but the same market dynamics exist for counter service as well. For employees and the restaurant itself, tipping is almost always going to be better than non-tipping. If these employees aren't getting paid enough, that's something that can only be solved by raising the minimum wage.
I guess the pay is the carrot. As long as they pay well for the requirements, there will be plenty people to take it. And if the job market deteriorates, they might not even need to pay that well...
There is a lot I love about the Elon Twitter saga. Scoping it to this issue (remote work):

1. We all know that "butts in seats" is a form of psychological control. Yes, there can be benefits to physical proximity. For software engineers, there can be benefit for collaboration, team-building and teaching. You can do this remotely but it's more difficult. However, for a lot of jobs however there is absolutely zero benefit to the employee.

2. This should remind people that your relationship with your employer is fundamentally adversarial. Remote work, despite it saving tech companies in particular, a lot of money for office space, onsite perks, equipment and so on, sold it to you as a "benefit". It started out of necessity in the pandemic. More recently it became a compeititve necessary to draw and retain talent in a tight labor market. In an era of mass layoffs in tech that advantage is no longer needed so companies can revert to their natural state of seeking control and not offering benefits they don't have to;

3. Elon is a very old school American (ironic, considering he's South African) boss who very much rules out of fear and for whom loyalty only flows in one direction: up (to him). He is not Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne. He's just another annoying, cringey, incredibly privileged fail-son. I'm honestly glad more people are realizing this as this is not the man to deify;

4. Morale among the remaining Twitter staff must be (I would guess) incredibly bad right now. Rather than extending these people an olive branch, the Bataan death march of reshaping Twitter into Musk's soulless image continues without respite, casulaties be damned; and

5. For many this will be there first downturn market as you could easily have been in the workforce for the last 12 years without ever experiencing it. You may have bought into the idea, particularly if you're an engineer or other highly specialized position, bought into the idea that tech companies are different and/or that you aren't expendable or replaceable. None of this is true. Unfortunately, people (Americans in particular) use such rationalizations to argue against any form of labor organization as being unnecessary or that somehow they'll all be dragged down to the "average" by collective bargaining. Such ideas are just highly effective propaganda.

Sorry Tweeps for all you're going through.
Except for on-ramping and off-ramping, I did not do a single trade on a centralized exchange. So yes, I did use all of those protocols. Majority of usage was Uniswap, OpenSea, GMX, and an assortment of GameFi projects.

Millions of others did as well. OpenSea has over 2M accounts, all of which only work with a decentralized crypto wallet. Axie Infinity

Anyhow, waste of time talking crypto on this site.

All I'll ask you to think about is if the world will still use credit cards to access digital content in the year 2030.
> JP Morgan says expect 50% drop across the board in crypto. Around 10 AM PST, somebody just pulled a billion dollars out of Tether.

Meanwhile, aggregate of the cryptocurrency market is up 5.38% over the last day, Tether recovered landing on 0.9999 USD after 4-5 hours of the drop hitting bottom at 0.9818 USD, which was nowhere near previous all-time low Tether has hit previously.

In other words, everyone screams "panic!" while the world quietly moves on.
I wonder what it's like to be an octopus. What kind of thoughts do they think? How do they perceive the world?
You do have something to offer: a little of your time. I would love to hear from you what you found amazingly interesting. Could you email me so I can ask?
"Asyncio is not ment for CPU Bound Task but for IO Bound Tasks."

You can amplify this; pure Python is not meant for CPU-bound tasks. If you have a pure Python task, you've CPU optimized it somewhat, and it's still too slow, the answer is, get out of pure Python.

There's half-a-dozen options that still leave you essentially in Python land (just not pure Python anymore) like cython or NumPy, and of course dozens of other languages that leave Python entirely.

To accelerate a pure Python task to the speed that you can get out of a single thread of a more efficient language, you have to perfectly parallelize your task across upwards of 40 CPUs (conservatively!), because that's how slow pure Python is. asyncio isn't a solution to this, but neither is any sort of multiprocessing of the pure Python either.

This is not criticism. This is just engineering reality. Pure Python is a fun language, but a very slow one.
It is a no-go for VR consumers in 2022. How many do you know in the market for a cabled VR headset? It's a huge step back for VR tech.

Watch the sales and returns numbers in the future, they will reflect that and prove me right. You'll find the headsets on sale on craigslist or ebay for half a price after they gathered dust in people's homes for a few months.

Want to bet on it?
A lot of the examples in this thread are focusing too much on Google; Google will probably never touch another social network.

What is more likely is some new company comes around, VC backed with some "ActivityPub-for-the-masses" pitch. This startup first comes with development resources; all the sudden 90% of the devs on Mastodon2 are employed by $startup. Not only that but they begin to build very polished native apps which aren't OSS. Because all the developers are $startup, the development process becomes less democratic. Then the VC dollars create marketing; then all your new users equate ActivityPub with $startup2. All the non-technical users are on $startup. Then they hit some critical mass and pull up the ladder. You find out 70% of the people you follow were on $startup, because for them it was easier to use the polished thing, and that 70% won't go back to ActivityPub, because all the people are now on $startup and maybe you should just ditch your crummy server and get with the times. It happens slowly, then quickly.

All of the sudden mastodon looks like IRC in a world where everyone uses Discord.
Isn't the Hyperloop regularly derided by those in the environmental community for distracting from more useful/environmentally sustainable transit solutions. Tesla also bifurcated the charger ports on the market, which has slowed adoption of EV chargers by businesses. Definitely a more complicated relationship than a surface level analysis would imply
Block web scanners with ipset and iptables
> CommonMark is a decent solution to "I want to use Markdown", if you're willing to take the simplification.

It would be very hard to make a case for CommonMark over something like Pandoc markdown, given that it does so much more than CommonMark.

Note that the discussion here is markdown inside a browser. That's not a good place to go with a dramatic simplification.
Absolutely. My employer weaponized the job market to force RTO in the same way. They were visibly terrified to force RTO when the market was hot.
It would not surprise me if in some cases, google runs the exploit up the tree to the NSA to see if they're actively using this for matters of national security, then slow-walk the patch to release. Given how easy the exploit is (no software needed, no special equipment beyond a paper-clip), would not surprise me if this has been in wide use for several years now by various groups.
I've heard that rumors of impending staff cuts often get the better programmers to leave preemptively because they know they can get jobs elsewhere.

Also you can't really sort on quality, if you try to do so in most organizations, the self-promoters float to the top. Narcissists benefit the most from stack ranking, modest people are hurt the worst.
It's funny how people will argue "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence" to excuse an institution or individual they like, but here people are bending over backwards to justify Musk's behaviour at Twitter as the performance of an evil genius playing a game that we're too subtle to understand, rather than those of a bully fool who is burning his life down thanks, apparently, to a crippling social media addiction and an inability to get over his ex.
It is may be glib, but Musk decided to close a $10s of billions deal he wanted to avoid a week before litigation because he thought he could flip Twitter for less loss than a settlement and whatever damage discovery and depositions would do.

That level of thoughtlessness is how you immediately find your equity investment under water. "WTF is wrong with you, Elon?" is a reasonable question to be asking, but evidently nobody does.
According to the bug thread transcript Google have not yet known he's not going to disclose in October when they offered the 70k.

Creator of mmm.page here. Thank you for mentioning the project. Imo we need better, more expressive/accessible creation tools, before we can have an interesting internet filled with true variety (meaning content that isn't gate-kept by those who can code, or forced into templates). I've spent the past two years on the creation tool side, and it's nearing completion, with a beta rolling out soon. (Currently it's in alpha.) If you're interested in any part of this, feel free to follow me on Twitter (@xhfloz).

Separately, it's great to see more projects in this space. Congrats on the launch, philip1209.
SBF tweeted[1] not too long ago that FTX.us was safe and was 100% liquid. I suppose that wasn't the case?

"New" designs. Ok. Pretty sure variations on most of these have existed for decades. There have been tons of radical looking aircraft designed and even in limited production (in private aviation), but just because it's radical doesn't mean it's really new.
I fully understand the purported chain of events. But, again: the US does not have jurisdiction over FTX. So why would he "get arrested" in California for embezzlement? He didn't break any US laws. The FTX/Alameda deal was likely done via SAFT[1], which is both legal and popular.

Yes, downturns help expose "the bezzle": the gap between perceived value and long-term economic value.

I first learned the term "bezzle" here on Hacker News and read more about it in the article "Why the Bezzle Matters to the Economy": https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/85179

It's an interesting read to those who enjoy economics.
Is there any evidence that people were fired based on LoC?
> there is a base of support for change from above, outside, and below

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that statement actually means.

How do you quantify "a base support for change"? Would you ask staff if they'd prefer a pay rise ... or for that money to be spent on a new logo? Would you ask customers if they're prefer improved products ... or a new logo?

There is a reason I wrote "initiating a logo replacement". If a new-in-the-job boss pitches up in a meeting and announces "I think our logo is old. I think we need a new, fresh, relevant, inclusive logo", then who do you suppose is going to tell them they're wrong? The yes-crowd of middle managers just nod and agree. And there's your logo replacement process started.

No need for data, no need for any actual reasons to do something, just someone new in the neighbourhood marking their patch, like a dog at a lamppost.
> You can't innovate and software engineer using 1950s style "butts in seats"

I like remote work too, but there's been plenty of innovation pre-pandemic when we (almost) all had our butt in a seat
The slow decline of the UK is really heartbreaking to watch as someone who always looked up to the UK gov as a model of sobriety and rationality.
> de facto tying, bundling, exclusive dealing, or loyalty rebates that use market power in one market to entrench that power or impede competition in the same or a related market

> using market power in one market to gain a competitive advantage in an adjacent market by, for example, utilizing technological incompatibilities to negatively impact competition in adjacent markets

A few obvious targets that come to mind here are Amazon Prime and, to a lesser extent, Xbox GamePass.
> What has Twitter innovated on in the past decade?

They basically stole clubhouses’ thunder with spaces and tbh clubhouse has lost a lot of it’s shine.

Now did Twitter actually innovate? I would say not really but they did reimplement the wheel and so far seems to be working for them. I’d say the execution still counts as being innovative.
it does, but investigating the lab origin could have negative implications of a large swath of Virology. So it's better for virologists to ignore the issue all together.
Twitter doesn't have shareholders. But Tesla and SpaceX does.

And not sure how happy they are with Musk and employees not being fully committed to adding value to their investments. Especially given that both companies have serious competition that is increasingly in quality and aggressiveness as each day passes.

On a sidenote, any manager who measures dedication by number of physical hours at the office is either inexperienced or incompetent.
A hundred and twenty people die every minute in the US. How far will you go to ensure that doesn't happen? How many civil liberties will you suspend, and how many cherished norms of life will you cast aside in your goal?

Does it really, in practice? Looking at the two systems, I would genuinely trust the US system less.

Also, you are wrong about admissibility. It is not true that everything is allowed, it depends on context. Also, what happens even when the thing is admitted is that police can be punished for breaking rules. Not by changing result of the court, but by punishing the police. And that is super big one.

Plus, most case in US are not even going through court. 96% or so are done by guilty plea. Going through court is super expensive and you risk much higher punishment.

US courts are notoriously deferential to cops and prodecutors. It just does not strikes me a system to trust all that much.
Oh yeah, not surprised. I'm just griping that there's a lot of assuming going on in here and it's worth, like, checking.
> A lot of the newly popular ideologies start to make sense when you consider:

> 1. Peer pressure / virtue signalling / peacockery

Shouldn't this be less true in a world where we all have anonymous or pseudo-anonymous online personas? I don't need to virtue signal on HN or reddit, I upvote, downvote, and post according to what I actually feel.

This compared to 50 years ago where ostensibly if I advocated something controversial I would have to say it to others' face.

> 2. Replacement guilt/shame hitching a ride on the decline of Christian values

I don't know what this means. Are you suggesting all people have some inherent level of guilt and without Christianity it funnels into other beliefs?

> 3. Disassociation from reality, either due to physical distance (money) or mental distance (tech enabled social bubble)

Agreed on this
I don't think what he's proposing is to replace any ad revenue -- he's trying to grow revenue and take a company currently in the red into the black. I think he means to keep all the ad revenue, and then add that much again in subscription revenue. So: 20%, I guess? Or even more to make up for advertiser attrition? Which seems like... a ton.
It can always go to that, due to nothing you’ve done.

Mistaken identity, planted evidence (from someone else, like drugs put in your bag by a handler for picking up by a compatriot in the destination, but caught before then, or by bored police!), political targeting (like you’re the ‘wrong’ nationality, and the country you’re traveling to wants some leverage), etc.

Muggers or bandits also don’t exactly ask if today is a good day either.
I've heard the opposite. Keeping the shades open is so that the rescue crews can look into the plane in case of a crash/accident.
Amazon and Meta are both obviously engaging in "unfair methods of competition". To blame moves from the FTC on anything else seems like a pointless, truth-agnostic move.
> has been established at the highest level of jurisprudence in the EU that you can torture suspects and you can prosecute them with evidence acquired through their forced confession.

This sounds like complete tosh - what is the highest level of. EU, ECHR? I dont believe they ever made such a ruling

Additionally, there was no EU equivalent to Guantanamo Bay level of toture and extrajudicial kidnapping.
Just because certain scummy behavior is legal doesn't make it ethical or a good business decision. Given what I have seen of his behavior I want absolutely nothing to do with Elon and his companies, either as a customer or employee, and am sure many others feel the same.
