I challenge this assertion. For one, I bet most folks have no clue what standard tire branding looks like. Indeed, https://www.carlogos.org/tire-brands/ shows that most of them do /not/ have circles on them.

For bagels, I think you have a slightly better argument, but even then, https://99designs.com/inspiration/logos/bagel doesn't really look like what is on display here.

My nitpick on the banners was more that the iconography of them was not at all key in folks building an identity with them. I should have expanded and said it wasn't the banner that builds the identity. Rather, it is more likely the shared identity that builds the love of the banner.
That is part of it. The Sequoia piece[0] describes what kicked off Alameda Research: after a tumultuous hard fork, there used to be a discrepancy between the price of Bitcoin in JPY at a Japanese exchange, and that in a US exchange. So he opened a Japanese account, bought a bitcoin in the US for a low price, and sold it in Japan for a high price.

To be clear, it is described by SBF. I haven’t verified historical prices to confirm it. The journalist that wrote this article probably hasn’t either.

Everytime a new Commanding Officer (CO) showed up when I was in the Navy we tried to bet which type it was:

1) The kind who investigated the goings-on in the ship, interviewed the officers and chiefs, and learned how the ship was being run, then made small changes over time to optimize the operations based on what they learned. Sometimes big changes in one specific area, if it was required (like fixing the ship's crypto key material protocols, if they are super fucked up).

2) The kind who came in and ran roughshod over the whole ship, made a bunch of big changes and policy decisions, and generally acted like they owned the place in order to fulfill a pre-concieved vision they had of how things should be.

With 1, we were happy because there are always improvements to an org, but the best people to know those improvements are those who know the org. These commanders always resulted in a better command overall by the end of their tenure, bar none.

With 2, we were sad, because suddenly mistakes were being made everywhere in order to try and fit into the "vision", and thus reduced morale due to the massive changes and the constant failures. I saw 2 of these and both failed miserably and brought the command down lower than it should/could have been. One of those was on a great ship that performed so flawlessly that we were always sent on the most important assignments, and after I left I learned the ship fell into disrepair and could no longer even get underway, due to mismanagement. That guy came in and basically made me decide to get an early re-assignment and 3 of my friends on that ship left the Navy completely because of him.
Excellent, thanks so much!

Forcing people who were told they can work fully remote in their employment agreement to work in the office is treated as a constructive dismissal in the U.S.

As this constructive dismissal is clearly part of the mass layoffs, they would also be subject to the 60 days notice under the WARN Act (or 60 days pay to waive notice).

This is not how you win in a rigged system against a billionaire who weaponizes his wealth against everyone who does not take a knee and flouts the law whenever they see fit.

The path to success is voting for decency over power, so I suppose we’ll agree to disagree. To unionize costs Twitter folks only their time and effort. The tools exists, just have to use them. This is what a hacker would do, isn’t it? Use the tools available instead of being goaded into some other mechanisms out of “pride”?

You’d need to do this TO the subscribers because the problem he’s trying to address is that now there’s a bunch of fake people with a “verified” status who are running scams on people or polluting news (like Fake Verified Labron James trade news going wild before realizing, wait, it’s a fake).

So then the downside is that you start bouncing people because is a checkmark worth getting captchas? Or maybe you put captchas on everyone so that the experience blows for everyone, and pray it helps?

Or maybe you just don’t conflate paying $8 with being “verified”, unless you’re gonna, yknow, verify something.
Be the change you want. People are very receptive in that space. In a past life my team and I were starting to bring together a lot of connections. We started by asking our NX rep. for reference accounts. Those were people doing what we were, using the tools we were, and who had agreed to let Siemens give out their contact info. We were really surprised at the list we got and the people we were then able to connect with, and how open they were to just communicating on stuff.
> I don't want to listen to artists who use autotune. I _do_ want to listen to artists who don't.

If you can’t tell the difference, why do you care? If you can tell the difference, why do you need the label?

Speaking as an amateur musician, I think these arguments reflect a lack of understanding of how music production works, and how that’s connected to the artist’s creative vision. I’ll say that a big part of the blame lies with poorly used autotune. Just to pick an example, the entire first season of Glee is especially bad, to the point where I want to leave the room. Then there’s various places where autotune has been overused on singers who don’t actually need it to begin with (Bublé comes to mind), or where autotune has been used to cover up some sloppy singing. (Bublé is particularly illustrative—it is known that he uses autotune, but he has said that he doesn’t… I suspect that Bublé is simply unaware that autotune is being used. I suspect that many other singers are also unaware that they are being autotuned—but you can sometimes find clear evidence for it when you analyze their songs with a computer.)

But autotune is also used, manually, by producers, to make small adjustments as needed to improve a take. It can mean that the singer does fewer takes to nail the song, because with your comping and autotune choices, you get what you need faster. The amount of comping and autotune that you do is a matter of style and situation—producers are free to do comping and autotune as they see fit, to capture what they think is the best version of each part.

It means that you can say, “take 3 has the most beautiful phrasing and a lot of soul to it, it’s just a little sharp” and then manually adjust the pitch by the amount you think is appropriate.

> Normally when you make a statement like this on HN I'd expect to see a citation or reference to where that statement came from.

I’m not sure why you have that expectation or think that it is at all reasonable. Like everyone else, I have a lifetime of experience. Not everything that I tell you was written down in the first place, and I can’t reasonably be expected to remember the exact source for every piece of information, nor should I be expected to shut up just because I don’t provide a source for something I say.

From the subject line, someone opposed it by asking the SC to block it. From that same subject line - and from reading the entire piece, it appears that a left-leaning Justice blocked the opposition.

Going from the supposedly curated examples, the Wikipedia page for the "most Jackson Pollock-like", the "most Dalai Lama-like" and the "most Elon Musk-like" figure from the 2nd century is Secundus the Silent.

Given that his name is Secundus and his Wikipedia short blurb mentions twice that he lived in the 2nd century AD, I think your AI has decided that he is just the most 2nd century figure.

No, it actually doesn't make sense. Because by WeChat he means he wants an "everything app," that doesn't mean a payment gateway monopoly...which would literally be impossible with Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Square, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Chase, etc competing with you. You think because Twitter will be a payment system like Google Pay that Elon can shut someone off from the entire financial system? Absolutely impossible.

There's also not much evidence that Musk has personally directed the ban of anyone. So, your argument makes no sense on two different fronts.
Is this your belief of the law as it stands or how you feel the law should be?

"forgetting a password is not a crime" is a statement of fact, and the only thing required to make it a crime is a law saying it is a crime. "Crime" is not some universal absolute, what is and is not can obviously change drastically over time.

In at-will states like California he doesn't really need the "right" to fire anyone (assuming he isn't firing them for any protected class reasons). I doubt the majority of Twitter employees (in the US anyway) have any sort of individual employment contract which specifies anything different than the typical at-will employment.

I suspect though that if he does fire people for refusing to return to the office that given the circumstances (twitter very openly being a 'remote first' workplace for years) that states would view that as a constructive dismissal and at the very least those fired would be eligible for unemployment benefits despite being fired "for cause".
> when we say "data" we're talking about state which can be measured, aren't we?

I don't know! If the "data" is about the state of the universe (i.e. the wavefunction) the "data" doesn't really change because of unitarity.

You may be talking about something else - but it's not clear what.
Since we're talking language, I hope you won't mind my mentioning it's 'hereby'—etymologically literally 'here'+'by'; nothing to do with hearing.

In all fairness, there is a lot of documentation in veracrypt's manual about how to properly hide a hidden partition, and how it's circumvented.

Most of them rely on knowledge of the encrypted container over time. A single point in time is unlikely to reveal a hidden partition, but if you are being monitored that is possible.

Please note that backups or wear leveling on an SSD, or just the TRIM command not deleting stored data can provide those points in time. Hidden partitions work best on magnetic drives.

>Not exactly, because banks tell you that they will loan out your money and you might not get it back, that's why you get interest on the account.

That's not right either. They promise you will get it back (the FDIC insurance), just that e.g. large amounts may have a delay. They are also scrutinized by regulators to ensure that the loans are sane enough not to all evaporate in value overnight, as a horse bet might.
You probably know this, but for those who don't:

At first this was my thinking as well, but then towards the end of the article, the author mentions an "all hands meeting" he had with employees before completing the acquisition, and apparently he said in that occasion that he was against remote work.

Having said that, remote work is up there with compensation in my book, taking it away is just as likely[1] as a salary cut to make leave the company.

Moving a person's office of employment outside of what would be considered a reasonable commute is treated as a constructive dismissal in the U.S. It is generally legal, because is treated as a normal termination by the employer (basically: the employee's "current" job is being terminated and the employer is offering them a "new" job in a new location).

This means, among other things, that the employee qualifies for unemployment, the employer's unemployment insurance account will get dinged, etc.

Keep in mind that the energy expended in C02 sequestration is concentration. It's easily soluble in water when injected and then is reactive to produce mineral precipitates. And that's only the geologic sequestration. There are multiple approaches, both biological, engineered, and geologic. Either way, the hard part is going from dispersed to concentrated in most cases (or for the biologic cases, actually keeping the result in the biosphere and not decaying into the atmosphere).

You don't need to reverse the combustion reaction.

You don't have to spend anywhere near as much energy as you gained from combustion to sequester it. You're not turning it back into bare carbon or into a hydrocarbon.

You're breaking hydrogen - carbon bonds to gain energy during combustion. You're then sequestering C02 -- you don't need to chemically alter the C02. You do need to concentrate it, but in terms of thermodynamics, you get a large amount of energy from combustion and it takes less than that to concentrate the combustion products.

In principle (but often not reality to the practicalities of concentrating a dispersed gas) combustion and then sequestration can be energy positive overall. The thermodynamics isn't quite what folks often assume.
Agreed. I have been reading HN for a while, and the overwhelming tone here is definitely "screw the manager/CIO/CEO" together with "If I have to go into the office, I will quiet quit, quit without notice, sabotage my employer", etc. It is truly shocking.

I feel many on HN simply can't appreciate the great working conditions the IT industry has compared to other industries (health care, food service, social services, etc). Getting paid over $100K a year and crying about going to the office? Wow, just wow. Imagine how nurses feel getting much lower pay that are forced to go to work and deal with sick/unruly people...
The difference here is the ship is not running smoothly at all according to the new commander. It is a change in course and I think it's pretty obvious Elon wants to get rid of the people who won't be on board with the new plan. This change is one more opportunity for those dissidents to leave and for those that stay to build a better team.

Curiously egg whites are also used to remove particles from stock (chicken, veal, beef) when you want to have a crystal clear liquid.
I don't see how they would be considered "unfair competition" under any meaningful definition of "unfair competition" (ie. something that isn't just "bad for consumers"). It costs nothing to sign up for loyalty programs, and being in a loyalty program doesn't hinder your ability to comparison shop or go to the store with the best deals. Yes, it does require you to jump through hoops to get the best price and is effectively price discrimination, but I don't see how it's any different than other forms of price discrimination (eg. having rotating specials so you're forced to plan ahead and/or stock up).
I'm a little bit skeptical about the claim that refusing access to a phone falls under the right of not self incriminating. There is such a thing as a lawful search of property, and when someone comes to you with a warrant to search your car in particular if it involves an ongoing crime you certainly cannot refuse, and pretending you forgot the keys isn't going to do you much good either.

I don't think phones are particularly special in that regard. The bigger issue seems to be that phone searches are often attempted in unlawful manner.

One search string that really illustrated the problems with modern-day Google for me is "best things to do in hawaii". Try it and see what I mean. It's just link after link of blogspam. You get extremely long pages filled with ads and generic stock photos of Hawaii, but which are bereft of any actual content. I just want a single person's account of how they went to Hawaii and what they liked/didn't like, but it's impossible to find, even though I'm sure it's out there on the internet somehow.

The best thing to google if you want an answer to this question is something like "reddit best thing to do in hawaii" which gets you actual accounts from actual real people who actually went to Hawaii and have interesting things to say about it.

I tried this with metaphor.systems as well, using their prompting language - "My favorite place to go in Hawaii is:". Unfortunately, I still didn't get great results, though some of them showed some promise.
I'd imagine it's been chaos ever since Musk started this whole deal months ago.
I wonder if the author would change this post to show less employees and higher ARR. That's certainly been my experience today.
That's not true. A pyramid scheme, legally, has no product but itself. Those are illegal.

For example, pay me $20 to join my company and you get the right to recruit people for $20!

Amway is essentially exactly the same except they add a product to the mix to get around the law. They still primarily profit from the "employees" rather than customers.

Changing the definition of a pyramid scheme, for the proposes of law enforcement, to something more akin to "profits primarily off employees" is what needs to be done.

In most places it seems to be the opposite from what I gather from my clients. Small majority of people prefer to go into the office. Especially those with kids. And they are vocal about it.

I don't have kids, so for me productivity is higher at home. However, we're running a hybrid setup at my place of work because it indeed seems to give you the best of both worlds.
I live in the midwest, in a house that's appraised around $350K. Every time I visit family on the West coast, I look at similar house prices, and they're all at least 3x or 4x. No way could I afford that; and I sure wouldn't get a huge salary bump for relocating.
The question is in the title. I addressed the title, but what I said still applies. There are less Mech engineers to hang out online because they swap to other fields.

I understand what you are saying but this is also a comment. No one is obliged to answer someones prompt when commenting.

Also my comment was based on my own experiences and the experiences of my peers. Out of a cohort of 300 engineers by the end of the course 80 to 90% dropped. Now when ever I meet someone who wants to go into engineering I tell them to step back do your own research, consider the ROI and determine if you want to do it because you love engineering or if you just want to make money.

To add to that: Chase tells you what they're doing. FTX told its customers it wouldn't lend it out, and then it did. Additionally, customer accounts at Chase are insured by FDIC up to $250k. Chase tells you they're going to bet with your money, manages the risk well* on most days*, and even if they lose your money you get it back anyway. FTX did the opposite of all that.
