Sam's explanation:

Shortly before the interview, Mr. Bankman-Fried had posted a cryptic tweet: the word “What.” Then he had tweeted the letter H. Asked to explain, Mr. Bankman-Fried said he planned to post the letter A and then the letter P. “It’s going to be more than one word,” he said. “I’m making it up as I go.”

So he was planning a series of cryptic tweets? “Something like that.”

But why? “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m improvising. I think it’s time.”

Relevant reading: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_.... The ch unit is the width of the 0 glyph, which for monospace fonts means the width of all regular-sized glyphs. The story of what it actually calculates gets a bit messier if you use a font-family stack with more than one item, but that’s no problem for what you’ve done. There are genuine uses for all three of em, ex and ch (though ex is the rarest by far).

And hey, another fun tip: you can add U+FE0E after emoji to prefer monochrome textual rather than graphical representations (and U+FE0F says “go graphical”, useful for the comparatively few emoji that default to a textual representation). It’s not perfect, and it may end up feeling less pleasant than the greyscale-filtered graphical representation, but hey, it’s a fun feature.
Usenet servers had admins and tools to deal with spam: cancel messages and in extreme cases the UDP. If you were on a decently run server it wasn't any worse than Reddit or HN even.

Yeah having your email deplatformed would be a disaster.

There was a story here recently about a guy who had his phone and email through google and when the google script wrongfully flagged his account, he was locked out of everything including his bank account due to 2FA. Google refused to roll back the decision even after admitting it was mistaken.

> In a recent example... I did this on a startup company's page involving a product where they had a CAD-like side view drawing of one of their products... but the base file (in this case it was an SVG) driving the page actually contained multiple hidden views of the same product and other products and at the 'real' precision of what likely was a DXF export from a CAD program, given to the web team. This allowed a critical dimension of an unannounced product to be precisely determined (to three significant figures) which was a spec that had not been publicly released...

This is actually really interesting. Do you get to do this often?

The blue check isn't coveted by most, there's even a meme about it being a mark of shame. I really think people that don't use Twitter often overestimate the importance of blue check accounts. If anything, they are the butt of a lot of jokes/content vs creating it. I am interested in the new Twitter Blue, but actually don't want the checkmark, but think it needs more features.

That being said, a normal user shouldn't have the same mark as an official Microsoft or government account. A secondary mark make sense, especially imo if only other paid and verified accounts can see the mark (I would just make it a hollow verified icon vs it being a different color.) Then it creates a network "in crowd" effect (similar to the green v blue text bubbles.) You also need to pair that with better tools and features.
Did they? The way I read it Sequoia bought ~$200m of magic beans from FTX, but in exchange banksman fraud invested ~$200mil back in Sequoia ventures.
No problem for you so no problem.

Now remove the "cpu on a network" being involved and see if you can think it through. You've never been murdered so there's no need for laws and regs. Equivalent with no cpu on a network. Obviously murder is pretty extreme and selected on that basis to underline the principle.
Markets are unpredictable. Side effects cannot be avoided. And while the situation is ugly, central planning has never made this kind of thing better.

I went to the site and failed to understand what’s different from other Android distros to make the general claim of “support for EOL Android devices”. Isn’t it the same as LineageOS or whatever other distros you can find for each device at XDA?

I thought I was going to find a site that found a way of running newer Android over the old one to not have to worry about drivers and such, but I found yet another distro with support for SOME devices. I also thought I’d find support for an oldish Kindle HD8 I’ve been wanting to repurpose.

This is not to say that it might be great and all, I just felt a bit mislead by the title and I would like to find out if I’m just not seeing something.

AT&T CEO Says His Satellite Service Has Lead on Musk’s
Apple had a much bigger market. They had problems with mismanagement to be sure but every designer, many authors and photographers, tons of schools, etc. had Macs on their desks. That gave them enough revenue to get a new OS out the door, and the industrial design on the iMac and Titanium PowerBook were enough to keep sales up during the bridge period.

I worked on an internet appliance using BeOS around 2000. The device worked, but was unfortunately slow due to the compromises Sony had to make to hit their price point (most notably running the display in portrait mode without hardware rotation, meaning every paint had to rotate in software!) and the lack of software really contributed - the NetPositive browser was fast and had some nice ideas but you’d run into more sites which would have worked in Netscape or Internet Explorer and didn’t have Flash.

I really liked BeOS: BFS’ database-like capabilities are still unmatched and it was years ahead of the curve on stability (I remember crashing the graphics driver & watching it restart, the open apps repainted, and I kept working) and consistent performance (Windows and macOS still have more UI lag under load despite much faster hardware). The fatal flaws, however, were the lack of permissions and immature networking. It was also harder to port Unix software, which mattered a lot at the time since that meant a ton of technical workers could use a Mac with OS X but not a BeOS system. I’m not sure what the assessment was for running Classic Mac apps either but suspect that already hard task would have been harder with a more limited OS. Even at the time I thought Apple made the right call, much as it meant I couldn’t unload some Be shares I’d picked up at a profit.
I'm not sure that this is really proven out to be a generally true concept. Boringssl is a good example of a very well funded project. There are FIPS modes in the Linux kernel for various things like RNG.

It's not a problem at all. Until 16, school is mandatory. They will accept your child or children at the local public school at any point when you arrive.

Do your children speak English? It can be incredibly daunting to start in a new culture and country, and if it's a new language, it's ten times harder.

We did this. My daughter grew up in France but we moved when she was 10 to California, and even though she was fluent in English, there were some hiccups. My email is in my profile. Feel free to reach out to me.

I imagine there are important definitional aspects that come into play. When the article says,

> Models developed from radiocarbon dates and the distribution of archaeological sites indicate the population shifted back to the north and grew between 1350 and 1450. In the north, soils were ideal for agriculture and temperatures were warmer.

does that mean that people literally migrated, or merely that the northern population grew predominately through, e.g., a greater reproductive rate while the southern shrank in-place according to similar dynamics? If the latter, is that actually adaptation in the sense you mean?

Also, if I should happen to save some money up, shouldn't I be able to invest is somewhere and get a return on it? Or is charging interest or getting a return on your money bad? Because if one gets interest or loans money to a corporation, and expects to get some kind of dividend at all, then that is using someone else's work for me to get money.

I'm not pro or con here, just trying to understand.

I was expecting this to be about the technical reason not to use .io, or really any ccTLD, as opposed to .com or newer gTLDs.

Historically, ccTLDs have been more poorly run and have less strict technical requirements for how they are run. That make sense because, well, it's not like ICANN can take away ".ne" from Niger even though the registration website they have listed on icann wiki (http://www.intnet.ne/) is running linux 2.6.32 and doesn't allow registration anymore.

On the other hand, if, for example, ".coffee" is being poorly run by its owner, ICANN can give it to a new owner and require them to run it better.

... That said, this was a joy to read! Since I see you around, author, your writing style is excellent, and I'm happy I read what I did, even if I am nit-picking about the above point being missed.

Some really good responses here.

I found new volunteers left soon after they failed their own expectations of what they thought they would achieve. I warned them about this and asked them to start off with very small tasks and see how they go.

This is apart from being put off by those difficult volunteers who do most of the work but want to run every aspect.

And although you can't 'sack' a volunteer, you can 'succession management' them.

The difference between Mochary and Campbell is stark.

Campbell did not receive compensation for his coaching. He used to say "I don't take money, options, or bullshit."

There was a reason for that. Campbell knew that if he took CEOs' money, he enter the circle jerk of people telling each other what they wanted to hear.

Mochary is part of that circle jerk, unfortunately. He is passing on received and second-hand wisdom, supposed lessons that he didn't learn the hard way, and may not be true at all.

He is well known in Sequoia circles, and you might say he's their in-house coach. But Sequoia, well, they also backed FTX ...

Could you arrange to stay with someone(family, family friend, etc.) until you finish out the year with your current class?

You should contact the school you'll be entering and ask them for information and suggestions. They will be in charge, after all, and probably prefer certain entry times, most likely corresponding to their natural breaks (summer, Christmas, spring).

Finally it is usually better to be an older rather than a younger student. Reason is that the brain changes rapidly during those years and the younger brain can be unprepared for some subjects. Sometimes a delay of a few months makes a difference. There's also the matter of physical development and its social implications (dating, social status, etc.). So given a choice, I'd prefer to be one of the older students.

"Red Plenty" by Francis Spufford. Many pointers from Google:

It's a fictionalised history of some Soviet economics. There's a chapter on Kantorovich (cf the sibling comment). It goes reasonably deep (not mathematically deep) and provides a lot of context. Great book from a great author. Don't be put off by the "Soviet" part -- it's very entertaining.

You nailed it. This had to happen. As phones got smarter, no one knew how to optimize the UI for so many new features. Everyone knew that a certain form factor would win out eventually, but no one knew what it was. Everyone knew that whoever got it right first might dominate the market. The only logical thing was to iterate constantly, and blindly. Much the same thing happened with the personal computer market from the late 70s until the mid 90s or so.
Interesting. The lawyer in me says that if an account has a zero balance then it wasn't "charged this fee" and therefore that sentence wouldn't apply. But the realist in me understands that this nuance is likely lost on them. The real question is: what sort of notice do they give before doing any of these things?

I realized that I can’t escape social media, or media in general. I am still using social media but made very very deliberate attempt to limit its poison:

- Refrain from commenting 90% of the time. Only when necessary. Even for sites like HN, because HN isn’t immune to the stuffs you described above. This has been the most helpful to me. I now only post on HN using throwaways, even for non provocative comments.

- Create multiple accounts for multiple purposes/subtopics (I love firefox container for this) and don’t get too attached, be ready to throw them quick. For sites like Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The purpose of social media to me is mostly to ask for high quality answers if I need something.

- Some sites allow you to block things. Like Twitter can block people, Reddit can block subreddit. On Reddit I block politics, antiwork, workreform, black/whitepeopletwitter, witchesvspatriarchy, leopardsatemyface, murdererbyaoc, and similar topic subreddits that often show up on hot. The content over there mostly are low quality.

- Never tell personal information online.

- Read more books/articles compared to tweets/facebook posts.

You can choose which media you want to consume. I try to refrain from consuming low quality media in general as much as I can (including avoiding tv, netflix, cosmopolitan, etc)
Sure but he wasn't using this alleged trick to cover up those deletions.
While bad press and shaming them is ok, what should really happen is Sequoia should be investigated closely and punished if found guilty.

Same applies here.
