Do you have any familiarity with the mechanics of the American federal criminal Justice system? Unless SBF gets a pardon from Joe Biden (which he won’t), those donations won’t matter at all.
Because, as has been pointed out ad nauseam THEY HAVE NO JURISDICTION to tell US companies what to do.

Of course, every time I point this out, people get mad at me because they happen to like the law (ie, they like the idea of privacy, and privacy theatre is comforting to them).

I'm personally of the opinion that one government telling me what to do is quite enough, thank you very much.

Is there an HTML-only way of separating menus from the html page? Similar to how external style sheets only need to be edited once to apply on all pages where it's linked?

Of course we all know something like:

<?php include 'menu.php' ?>

But in order to get that working, the site can no longer be HTML-only, it will need a web server and pages must be titled .php. This assumes most people are building multi-page sites, and not those one-page "link in bio" style pages.

An article this year critical of Sam Bankman Fried

If HN stores IP addresses or does any sort of de-anonymization on their end, then probably yes. They cover this in their privacy policy, at least for California [1], but their terms of use (right to refuse deletion) seem inconsistent with CCPA.

Also, if they don't store IP or actively deident, then I'm not sure either reg applies. HN isn't collecting PII. Just because you chose to type some info into a free form text box doesn't mean that the are liable for treating that data as PII, unless they're doing the tagging and extraction themselves or you inform them you're in CA/EU and the post contains PII. ianal.

Not sure why this was downvoted. Yes, he donated 2/3 to Dems and 1/3 to Republicans. Assumption is for protection, and regulatory direction.

He was only behind Soros in terms of total dollars to Dems.

His mother started a couple of Dem PACs just 13 days before her son became CEO of FTX (imagine the coincidence!). Her money, as far as it is traceable is also very significant.

... This was I suppose part of his "effective altruism" (if you can say that with a straight face). Instead of downvotes, imagine the comments and rage if he had donated to Trump instead.

True, which is why you should always consider the source along with their probable motivations. When a publication that is openly promoting libertarian philosophy writes a story about abuses by government, it's worth considering that this is probably the most egregious abuse they could find. It's in their best interest to focus our attention on the most convincing evidence.

Most mainstream media isn't overtly political, so their motivations are usually more monetary than ideological. Following the money is always a good idea.
Physically coding is not at all where I spend the majority of my time at work or on personal projects. I exclusively use Haskell though, so maybe that has more to do with it.

But why optimize a non-critical path?
Anyone confident in any answer here is too confident to listen to. But I generally think of it as a natural result of big change.

Big economic/political/tech shifts leave people mistrusting old institutions that naturally aren’t well equipped to handle the new situation. The institutions screw up, electors lose trust, and new folks take over. The new folks (being new, and sometimes being the less-competent rejects) tend to misunderstand the institution, and change things that aren’t necessary; they overreact.

What you’re seeing is just the overreactions: they’re knocking out walls, and sometimes they hit the wrong wall.

But you also don’t see the benefits because effective bureaucratic adaptation is boring.

The thing I wonder about is if the seeming endless screw ups are because we have more change today, more morons, or we just see it all more.
I have a physical copy of this! My parents got it for me at a garage sale in the 80s when I was a little nipper.

I mean - I don't know what you really expect out of open source then.

The source is right fucking there. I have literally built the project on my machine using it.

It's also not at all comparable to the repo for WSL in the top post (which is literally just a couple of text files, a handful of scripts, and a binary release - which I'd certainly agree is not really open source).

I'm not really sure how you can possibly portray having the literal buildable source present as misleading. Is it misleading that I can purchase binary software designed to run on my open source linux distro?

Because that's just as much of an extension of my OS as something like VS Remote Development (or their c++ intellisense) is an extension for Code.

Further - you're talking about tooling here that MS has consistently kept closed source (historically they're very restrictive with their C++ and C# compilers). As an alternative - language support for something like Typescript absolutely is open.

You can even allow many of the restricted extensions if you really want them (ex: remote debugging) by following the instructions here https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#pro...

Basically - what is it you want, exactly? Because again - this thing is really about as open source as it can get. Is Microsoft keeping some nice extensions closed? Sure - they're allowed to do that. That doesn't make this any less open source.
Multiplying a tiny number by a big number is still a tiny number.

The power used by every iPhone in the world is like %0.001 of power used.

That saving made by Apple is just to pretend to look good - it doesn't actually make any difference.
Let me try.

If you were to create the best monetary system, how would it be? The answer to that is a system with a policy that simply doesn't change. That's the best system because predictability is the only quality that matters when you are storing value. The best governments in the world try their best to achieve that, but they always fail. How then can we achieve that? With decentralization. That's a very expensive, inefficient and slow way to go about things. But it is all that matters if we want to build a sane monetary system, which doesn't allow anyone to change its emission rate. No "crypto" achieves that same trust we all have about the decentralized quality of Bitcoin. That's why they don't matter.

"Always," you say? It "always" leads to deficiencies and lack of growth? Shoot. Don't tell my kid, who at five is half her mom's height and is in track to be taller than I am. I eat the occasional meat and ate more when I was younger. My kid is a vegetarian, like her mother. Maybe check the hyperbole a bit.

People who only eat plants do just fine. People who don't put thought into what they eat, do badly, no matter the diet. Your average American probably has a significant glut of protein and carbs and days and everything else and they probably significantly overestimate the amount of protein they need (discuss it with athletes who have professionals planning their intake). We glamorize protein for some reason but look around you. People are fat. Arguably it would be better if most people probably went vegetarian.

How to get your backup to half of its size – ZSTD support
Today we are glad to introduce support for a new compression algorithm in Percona XtraBackup 8.0.30 – Zstandard (ZSTD).

Results shows that ZSTD not only overcame LZ4 results on all tests, but it also brought backup size to half of its original size.

When streaming is added to the mix is when we see the biggest difference between both algorithms, with ZSTD overcoming LZ4 with an even bigger margin.

This can bring users and organizations a huge amount of savings in backup storage, either on-premises or especially in the cloud – where we are charged for each GB of storage we use.

Sadly, in my experience, the apple variety alone doesn't actually have that much bearing on quality (although a red delicious will always be lacking in the second of it's nominative attributes!).

What I've found is a much better predictor of a good apple is freshness. An appple straight off the tree is going to be excellent, but a local apple in season will be just as good. Find out what the apple seasons are in your location, and just buy the fruit that's fresh.

I've never had much luck buying imported apples from New Zealand or anywhere in the southern hemisphere, and varieties suitable for long storage may look good but won't taste it once they come out of the storage bin. So I now only buy apples for about 7 months of the year, when they're actually good. There are lots of other fruit for the rest of the year, and it's such a treat when they come back in season again.

>"Breathing does nothing" / "Not breathing does nothing."

Right, but that's because those two are actually the same! The null hypothesis in this case does not directly say whether breathing is good or bad, instead it's a statement about the correlation of breathing to anything at all.

If the null hypothesis is true, then breathing or not breathing doesn't have any effect. So the null hypothesis is not pro-breathing or anti-breathing, the null hypothesis is that it just doesn't matter either way and doesn't correlate with anything (like the person staying alive)

>"Aerobic exercise does not increase the probability of developing metastatic cancer" / "A sedentary lifestyle does not increase the probability of developing metastatic cancer."

With both of those, you can also reformulate them to be a statement about correlation. "What is the correlation between the amount of aerobic exercise that you do and the rate of development of metastatic cancer?"

So the null hypothesis doesn't depend on whether you think exercise is good or bad. That's the subtlety. It just says that everything is neutral and nothing has any effect until proven otherwise.

That doesn't mean the null hypothesis is always what makes sense, or that it's what you should believe in. Obviously breathing keeps you alive, and exercise has a lot of benefits. It's just a way to keep people from disagreeing about what's obvious and who should prove what. The null hypothesis is really dumb, and it only says that anyone who claims they found a real effect, either good or bad, should prove it.

If one person is saying red wine causes cancer, and the other person is saying red wine prevents cancer, then they're both rejecting the null hypothesis, which is that you can't claim red wine correlate with anything until proven otherwise.

And I promise this isn't just for the sake of the argument. There's a real difference between the mindset of trying to claim "X is good" or "X causes cancer" because it seems so obvious that someone else should just prove the opposite instead, and the much more boring idea that if something is actually kind of obvious, then you should be able to measure whether it does anything AT ALL in either direction (good or bad), and force the person actually making the claim to reject the null hypothesis.
Well I mean it is an objectively solvable problem.

Personally I vacillate between fear of the future and optimism of the future. Peers expressing the opinion that there's nothing to feel bad about helps my perspective a lot more than people acting like they think someone just died when I suffer a setback.

No EU country would ever try to extradite anyone over a GDPR violation...

International companies that choose to process data from EU citizens but blatantly ignore the regulation will be subject to enforcement action from the country's supervisory authority. The supervisory authority has the power to "order the suspension of data flows to a recipient in a third country or to an international organisation" or "to impose a temporary or definitive limitation including a ban on processing".

In practice, this means you can say goodbye to doing business with your EU customers if you don't want to play by the rules. I doubt it'll be much of a loss for them to lose access to services provided by a company that doesn't care about their customers' privacy.

As ever, a significant minority of Americans on Hacker News really Just Do Not Grasp the benefit of the EU or its regulations such as GDPR. "All regulation must be bad!!" It's quite tiresome, really.

It might turn a good hardware profit (Apple is known for sizable margins in that respect) but Apple really cares about having a wide audience. The only thing more profitable than hardware is taxing the transactions on that hardware. If Apple doesn't have a large installbase, it will be hard to justify keeping the platform alive.

> Also, surely anything at that price point is going to be positioned against the Quest Pro, right?

At what, $2,000? At that point, you're competing against everything. You're competing against the price of a new-in-box Valve Index with a VR-capable computer to-boot. You're competing against the price of buying everyone in your family a $300-400 headset. You're competing against the price of a Playstation 5 with PSVR2.

Typically when you are on a hiring freeze, you don’t need recruiters. Likewise when you are trying to be more efficient as a company, things that aren’t either bringing in new revenue, keeping revenue or creating new revenue sources aren’t critical to weathering economic turbulence.

It can be argued that if those programs are effective, they should be able to stand on their own or be absorbed into other roles for 6 months to several years.
