Apps on voice are so handicapped - it's really difficult to handle any one-time setup. I wanted to see if I could make a voice app that looked for emails on my third-party mail server but it's just not practical with the stateless function requirement.

The Echo devices are way way too dumb. The user's Cloud account needs app-accessible storage.
I think there's a degree of civility brought about by IM, SMS in particular as you normally know the person, or have interacted with them long enough so that you consider them (and they consider you) part of your 'circle'.

IRC - on specialist forums perhaps there is some civility because everyone in that forum is likely experienced and interested, so mutual respect and good manners reign.

But when you put together a heterogeneous group of people with no defined clear goal for the group and mix in anonymity by default, you get 4chan.

It'd make an interesting sociological study, which factors (privacy, anonymity, interest group, etc.) correlate with aggressive online social groups.
I'm not disagreeing, but what are you referring to specifically?
I disagree. Pensioners are in need of this exact arrangement, ie. creating an income from their life savings.
Okay, so if I replace the word "exchange" with "Ponzi scheme", then all "crypto exchange" news make a lot more sense to me.

> The exchange will provide no-fee brokerage accounts and commission-free trading. CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, recently acquired a 7.6% stake in Robinhood, which also provides fee- and commission-free brokerage services.

Sounds like it was to allow people to move funds from crypto into US stocks. If that was the case and that business also went bankrupt then I think people lose whatever stocks they "bought" via FTX Stocks because they likely just tracked prices and made it look like people "owned" a security by updating a record that says they bought it.

If there were huge numbers of purchases of stocks through FTX by their customers but then FTX didn't actually purchase those stocks (like the recent findings that they didn't actually purchase the crypto) then I don't see how this makes any bit of difference to whatever stocks are in question. Its not like they were ever actually purchased and FTX is in bankruptcy so any FTX customers are left with legal avenues to get money back but it appears there's no money to get.
I over-thought this and taught my spam filter about signed email addresses.

Basically signed addresses are exempt from regular spam filtering. If they are abused they are blocked.
Course as in share price etc?

I believe... Unless you profit by it, you can say what you want to cause share prices to go up or down and it is not a crime.

Is that incorrect?

Amazon to lay off 10k, biggest cuts in company history

Concrete Mathematics and calculus. I'd made it through several years of studying and applying calculus (either studying it properly in math courses or applying in physics and engineering courses) and never really grokked it. I could use it, but something important was missing in my understanding. I spent one summer working through this book with a professor, and suddenly calculus clicked for me. I still don't know what specific detail I had missed previously but I'll take it.
A high value is certainly an implicit outcome of taking this literally:

"What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party"

One could make the argument that crypto ownership could be a short-lived thing - you buy some crypto, use it immediately for an electronic payment, then you have no more crypto, which would keep its value low, but then you need a trusted third party to buy the crypto from, and the retailer needs one to sell the crypto to.

Removing a third party means that you need to be paid in crypto, and do all your transactions with crypto. Given that Bitcoin was created with a finite pool of coins, it's obviously necessary that each coin be worth a vast amount of money, for it to replace all fiat currently used for electronic payments.

Interestingly, Washington State passed a carbon fee proposal that's basically the same as that, shortly after. It's a widely used tool, because it's efficient and therefore cheap.

It's only really the US that lags on putting a price on emissions. Mostly because their legislation mechanisms are in the pocket of big oil.
Amazon lists employees at 1.6M employees worldwide. (https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AMZN/amazon/number...)

Even if they have 1% churn each month, that's about 16,000 turnover a month. Laying off 10,000 is not news until we find out where the cuts are happening.

The net present value of Bitcoin is likely negative, as there's substantial cost (billions of dollars per year depending on the current price of BTC) in maintaining the mining infrastructure that makes the network happen.
I had the first edition Compaq Ipaq pocket pc phone, running on windows. It had a dedicated keyboard and built in 28.8k modem. It was the first 'smart' phone, in that I could somewhat browse the web, but it was mostly useful for email.

The modem also functioned as a fax, so I could send and receive faxes, though not all that practical. It didn't have a camera, and was nearly as big as a brick, but it was the first portable, internet connected device that was small enough to carry. Came with a stylus thing to function like a mouse, sort of. It only got about a days use before needed a recharge.

Google didn't exist at the time, but Lycos did. I smuggled my brand new phone into a local pub triva night, and with all my new tech powers, ensured our team won that night. $20 of beer was our prize, and the concept of smartphone was firmly embedded in culture.

These smaller projects are probably even less likely to be compliant.

If anything, it will create a situation where e.g. OpenSSL is audited and compliant, but other newer solutions aren't so you can't use them. If "has been audited and approved" would be a good assurance the project is of good quality then that might be okay, but overall I find it's a rather weak signal.
Combine this with the privacy concerns and that's why I've never brought one personally. I know a lot of people who have them but rarely ever use them.

The only good use case I've seen is if you're having a conversation / debate with someone you can use them as a real-time fact checker.
I was under the impression that Node (and the node_modules folder) predated NPM. So NPM was just going along with the concepts laid down by Node.

To me, this sounds like this is it. Explicit is better than implicit is a very useful truism
> The seemingly random, yet beautiful grain, in wood. Or the way tree leaves rustle in the wind.. etc etc, you can see an immense beauty and goodness, not possible without a divine, all-giving power.

That is quite the statement on the nature of reality, yet it’s entirely based on personal opinion. You don’t know from observation if the “beauty and goodness” of the world is impossible without a divine power, you choose to believe so.

I also pay close attention to the natural world and my relationships, yet don’t feel the slightest inclination to believe in a higher power. If anything, I share Richard Feynman’s view that being analytical about the world makes its beauty shine more, not less: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbFM3rn4ldo

You're missing the point.

You can't trade anything with 10 microsecond timing without accepting counterparty risk.

Crypto is not special here, except that it's full of fraudsters or people that think they're smarter than they are.
If you use a cloud service, then playing ""your"" music from it is going to incur license fees. Or get deleted if they don't want to take your money in that country.

If you want a cloud service that keeps your CDs and doesn't fiddle with them it'll have to be an encrypted S3 bucket.
Employees who are PIP'd are replaced, though. The positions themselves still exist. This is cutting 10k positions if I'm interpreting correctly, so it's really going from 0% to 4%. It may also impact entire teams or business lines.

A surface speed of 9 knots and a submerged speed of 4 knots? This thing is hilariously slow. At 4 Knots, you could almost walk faster to any comparably distant terrestrial destination. The impracticality is obvious: taking the yacht away from any one sea or port to another (something you'd presumably want to do after spending tens of millions on a superyacht), would mean traveling for an absurdly, abnormally long time inside a sealed, limited space with no easy way to leave mid-journey.

At least normal surface yachts have reasonably decent top speeds of 20+ knots.

You'll have to choose. Eventually. Allocate time and resources to learn what you want to learn, but set your objectives. And stick to what you have set to yourself. Any choice or lack of has opportunity cost. You can go wide, at the cost of not going deep. You cannot "balance" and "prioritize". At least not that much.

Initially most of the skills, sports and subjects have very fast learning curves. You learn a lot in a short amount of time, and every hour, every day brings you something new. Eventually, your "ROI" will decrease, and you'll have to dedicate more time to keep improving. At some point anything becomes a full time job.

So try what you want to try, set objectives, but consider how good you want to become. It's fine to remain an amateur, to stop and try something else. But if you ever decide to master anything, you'll want to invest weeks, months and years to do just one thing. Many other people did dedicate their entire lives to that subject/skill/sport. If you ever want to be as good as them, you'll have to match their effort.

Also remember that often it's not important how much you learn, but if you apply it in your life. You don't need to be a great athlete to enjoy biking. Sometimes all you need is get a bike and get outside.
Some people will never understand how damaging this level of tech money tied up in politics is. Apparently it's easier to jump on one side and do finger-pointing than to actually accept the level of fraud happening.
It's worth noting that centralized package hosting concentrates the risk into "too big to fail" operations. This is great for as long as they genuinely are too big to fail and you can assume that someone will always step up to save the day. But the Java ecosystem went through a case where that didn't happen: JCenter/Bintray was a popular Maven hosting site for many years until one day the operator simply announced they didn't want to run it anymore and shut it down. It was a clean, phased shutdown but ultimately enormous numbers of builds and projects did have to migrate away. Now everything is even more centralized around Maven Central, which really is (hopefully) too big to fail.

The financial system has a lot of experience with dependency on centralized organizations that are too big to fail. It's trading one set of problems for another. In particular the risk is that the organization starts to "fail" but not badly enough to cause a mass collective shift away. Things just degrade and become terrible but there's never a moment that overcomes the enormous activation energy needed to migrate away. With a federated or decentralized system it's easier to bleed off from an institution or service that's started failing at its core mission.
Hey, nice comment, just offering the opposite view here:
Disagreeing with faith is the point for many of us atheists, not out of arrogance about knowing the truth about the world, but skepticism about what it means to know a thing for certain, and how far away we are from that certainty.

> perhaps the problem is implicit allocations rather than value semantics?

I think that’s true. Expensive copies should never have been implicit. There was a story some time ago about a single keypress in the address bar of Chrome causing thousands of memory allocations. The culprit: lots of std::string arguments up and down the call stack.

Rust gets this right, with the hindsight of C++’s example: “a = b” is a move operation by default and clone() is always explicit, except for plain data types where copying is literally memcpy — and those are clearly marked as such by the type system.

It's pretty clear from the part you quoted yourself.

You take an upstream, free, non-commercial product and you SUPPLY it as part of the solution. You are responsible for the conformity.
I mean, if you want some states to behave like completely different countries with laws and governance model radically different from what the rest of the states have, you could just as well drop all the pretense and introduce their own borders, own army, and so on. (shrug) This is what my comment has been about.

It could be an interesting thought experiment.
This is specifically tech and corporate employees, which is a much smaller pool than the 1.6M you're quoting.

The Psychology of Football Rivalries
On the contrary, we are genetically predisposed to having small numbers of kids, only a bit above replacement rate at most. Humans are K-specialists with extremely resource intensive offspring. Population growth is purely the result of improved living conditions causing lower mortality, and thus having the minimum number of kids you needed before results in a surplus.

Well, profit can always be increased by increasing risk. So the question is whether the additional risk incurred due to duration mismatch is worth the increase in profits.

It's obviously worth it to the bank's shareholders if the bank is bailed out by tax payers when things go wrong. But if there's no bailout it may not be worth it for them -- at least not in the long run.
It seems to be time for this. There's a war on. We're now seeing regular attempts to sneak backdoors into open source code.[1][2] And those are the ones that have been found. There was a Linux kernel bug where someone put a test for root in as "if (uid = 0)" instead of "if (uid == 0)", so that when a rarely used system call was made, the process became root.[3]

The EU is most concerned about "Class II software". The stuff that runs industry.

The only kind of people I imagine would be okay with a 3rd party blind shopping for them would be those who haven't seen the inside of a store in years because they have help that does all of their shopping and domestic work already.
This is so completely normal in these industries that it is a non-headline.

Companies that have so much cash they can employ 100K+ developers on top of goodness knows how many designers, PMs, POs etc. of course they hire and fire. They can afford to offer above-average conditions when the markets need it and everyone goes flocking there only to be surprised when their job is taken away at the next point the shareholders are bothered about ROI.

If you want to ride the unicorns and take the risk, that's fine, but there are plenty of people around the world who have far fewer choices with their work and are paid far less so I don't feel too bad that someone's Christmas might be not as expected.

If you want job security, get a job somewhere that isn't trying to earn their next billion, where you can make a difference, where you are appreciated and where work/life balance means something. I expect you would feel much better :-)
That kinda sounds like it would apply to something like Linux kernel, as the developers are certainly working for-profit on it
