Isn't that true of anything that doesn't include the fed? I mean unless you can print money, you can't change the amount of fiat in any subset of the economy. You can still add value though which would be evident by more people wanting a piece of whatever pie there is, driving more fiat into the subset and/or creating paper gains which is a sort of money in itself, but this is true for crypto as well.

For example, I can draw a circle around Google and make the same argument: "I can see how fiat can flow into Google (investments, debt, advertiser dollars, ...) but I can't see how Google can create new fiat to flow back to the rest of the economy." The best I can see is that higher demand for a share of Google creates paper gains but then that's true for crypto as well.

Automatic translation of the article with DeepL:

"Unicorn" status

Cologne-based translation start-up DeepL is worth a billion dollars

A German platform has been competing with Google Translate for some time. Now the young company has closed a new round of financing and is considered the first "unicorn" from Cologne.

The Cologne-based online translation service DeepL is valued at one billion dollars (960 million euros) after a new round of financing. This was reported on Thursday by the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger", citing information from the company environment. DeepL is thus considered the first "unicorn" from the cathedral city.

The backers of the financing round include U.S. investors IVP and Bessemer, as well as the European venture capitalist Atomico, as "Business Insider" had initially reported. It initially remained unclear how many shares the firms would take. DeepL did not respond to an inquiry by Thursday afternoon. A "unicorn" is the term used to describe startups with a market valuation of more than one billion US dollars.

DeepL launched in Cologne in 2017 and now employs around 400 people. The website deepl.com with its translation service is one of the hundred most frequently accessed sites worldwide. DeepL says it has achieved exceptional machine translation quality with improvements in neural network mathematics and methodology, and is up to six times more accurate than other providers.

In independent tests, DeepL also outperformed established providers such as Google Translate. However, Google supports 133 languages, DeepL only 29. DeepL translates up to 5,000 characters and up to three documents per month free of charge - a subscription is required for unlimited and additional features.
This is what I was thinking. Anything that another person wants has value. Gold, water, btc. People make this big distinction for things like oil because it's used for something but I don't see how's thats relevant.

Yea, I don’t want to exclude the possibility of that outcome. If Elon does run this $44 billion social experiment I will watch very carefully though. It will be very interesting indeed.

(And my feeling is that a lot of the Elon-hate comes from people who fear that the outcome will be more in line with my expectations than yours.)
Why is this “have to pass through bureaucrats” narrative pushed on every single discussion about this topic ?

One one hand getting approval for a specific justifiable situation doesn’t seem like an issue for any company with enough means to design a better universal connector.

On the other hand these “bureaucrats” are presently updating these laws as the previous one became obsolete and the situation isn’t improving organically. Here the bad player is Apple, why are we pointing the finger at the orgs actually making things move and keeping up to date with technology ?
It's what the community makes of it - want to see more "hacker" posts?

Yes, why they made that decision back then. However in the end the lib cannot and shouldn't know, and this decision needs to be intentionally done by the middleware. Correct for most use cases is not good enough here, should be always correct for such fundamental thing.

He could give out stock. Anyone staying by choice (not forced like an h1b), has to buy into the vision that their 'hardcore' work will eventually make Twitter public again. Effectively rebooting the company as a startup.

IMO, given EM's antics, he's making the base pay of anyone he hires go up, not down. I can't imagine what he's going to have to pay the CEO he says he's going to put in place at Twitter.
Not op, but I actually don't think that a guy who apparently likes to trim the fat has a bunch of finance people around who have enough free time to do payroll and reporting for a 44 billion dollar company that was just acquired and is in the process of letting go thousands of employees.

I had Compiz Fusion with LXDE running on my Acer Aspire One and I was amazed at how well it performed. Wobbly windows for live video from the webcam and everything. Running Gentoo's emerge did take all day though. In retrospect, Arch would have been a better fit.
> That's what he has said he plans to do, take it public again.

For a mere hobby it is too expensive even for him. 44bn (+continuing operating costs, credit costs, ...) also is a lot to regain via profits. So the logical thing is to either sell it to some other corporation (who!?) or going public. But for that he has to somehow make it an attractive investment, while currently he is doing the opposite.
Much closer to 50%.

Actually, yes, they are.

American automotive manufacturing became hyper-conservative over time. A willingness to let (non-safety-critical (1)) bugs get to market with the tradeoff of making products you otherwise wouldn't is a market-distinguishing tradeoff.

(1) But my larger concern is that I can't say about Tesla that only non-safety-critical bugs are making it out the door, so I also won't buy one. Because unlike a buggy phone or buggy smart watch, a buggy car with safety-critical bugs can kill other people, so there's wisdom in disallowing it.

Over time, it becomes a culture signifier of sorts. MrBeast is bigger than Pewdiepie (embarrassed that I know these names), he obviously does not need to paper over mistakes with those cuts.

Ask HN: Have you ever used anti detect browsers for web scraping?
I'm in the web scraping industry for a while and I often spend some time creating my "swiss knife" with Playwright or Selenium in case things get tough.
Thanks to a niche substack I'm following, I discovered only today the existence of anti detect browsers like GoLogin and others.
From what I see, they seem a good solution for small projects, but difficult to scale in larger ones for costs of licensing and infrastructure (most of them require a windows machine to run).
Does any of you guys smarter than me use these browsers on a large scale? How is composed your tech stack?

What happened in 2022 that all the doors are suddenly closed? Wouldn't you have said the same in 2016, before TikTok came out of nowhere and became the most popular website (per Cloudflare). I'm pretty sure people spoke similarly in 2006 about how Facebook has no chance against Myspace. The only constant is change.
> You cannot say the same thing about Rust.

At least not yet. My fear is it's _very_ easy to fall in to the same trap as C++ has, and become a big mess. Scott Meyers have a very nice talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAWA1DuvCnQ about all these traps and pifalls that we have to deal with in C++.

That said, I'm starting a bit with rust and enjoy it so a lot, especially the tooling alone is worth it - and if I never have to write another line of C++, I would be very happy (ofc the real world argues I have a lot of C++ code that will need maintenance).
Certainly, but then if you possessed all bitcoins, you wouldn't able to sell them for 300 billion either.

Anecdotally, it's been interesting to me to watch how quickly my Twitter social network is rebuilding itself on Mastodon.

All of the home ISPs I've used in the past 10 years have IPv6. I know a few don't, including some surprising ones such as new FTTH, but they all say it's "coming."

Once you wire fiber upstream bandwidth doesn't matter that much. ISPs are directly peered into the core of the Internet and pay bulk peering bandwidth pricing not cloud bandwidth pricing. Cloud bandwidth pricing is completely insane, like 10000% markup or more in many cases, and the fact that they charge more for outbound is just a strategy to make data flow into their cloud but not out. Bandwidth is actually dirt cheap or companies like Cloudflare could never exist.

The main reason they drag their feet on IPv6 is that there's no strong forcing function and dual stack adds complexity. When they're on a deadline to ship they punt on it. They are starting to get complaints from gamers though. Gamers tend to be the top home users that drive early adoption of all kinds of things.

Edit: another funny thing is that most ISP/telecom stuff these days is IPv6 at the core. If they're not doing it at the edge for new stuff it means they've just got it off and are running IPv4 over IPv6 within their network most of the time. This is even more true for mobile networks, some of which are IPv6 only and the phone does 4to6.

The rollout is still happening... slloooooooowly... The Internet is huge and it takes forever to do a major upgrade like this. I wish they'd have just made IP 48 or 64 bit with an easier upgrade path, but that's water under the bridge now.

I suppose one answer is that the diagram does still work for non-crypto companies. Reading the analysis that way, the simple conclusion is that they didn't see the value being created. However, it's not impossible that it could have been created.
Be careful with PDF! There are many ambiguities in the specification that are implemented differently between parsers, as well as implicitly accepted malformations that almost all parsers will silently accept without warning. It is very easy to accidentally produce so-called file format schizophrenia: When the same file is rendered differently between two parsers. For example, with PDF, what if you have a PDF object stream that has a length that doesn't agree with the position of its `endstream` token? What if you have a PDF dictionary with duplicate keys? Do you use the value of the first key or the second? What if you have two, valid PDFs concatenated one after the other? Do you render the first or the second? What if an object in the XREF table has an incorrect offset?

Shameless plug: I am one of the maintainers of PolyFile, which, among other things, can produce an interactive HTML hex editor with an annotated syntax tree for dozens of filetypes, including PDF. For PDF, it uses a dynamically instrumented version of the PDFminer parser. It sounds like it might satisfy your use case.

Another reason is market segmentation. This model has xyz, but for 50 more you can have one that does this cool thing. Even though the hardware is there. Pretty much all of the large OEM's do this. In the micro economics world it is called 'perfect pricing'. Basically segmenting your product enough and putting the prices at the right spot so everyone wants to buy along curve. In practice it is harder to do than that. So you get weird bits of hardware that can do things but are fused out. Car manufactures are trying to do this with 'rent your heated seats' kind of things. On the back end it simplifies what you buy into your pipeline and you control it with software.
> It can be argued whether or not that’s the right thing to do

No, because both approaches could be right at a higher level, to pretake that decision at this level is definitely wrong here?!

So 10M comp package + 0 starting capitol vs 0 comp package + 5M starting capitol? The latter isn't a comp package.
In Pennsylvania you can only purchase beer and wine from a grocery store due to legal loopholes -- you're purchasing it from a restaurant physically located inside of the grocery store.

Everything is encrypted with a symmetric key. It is just that sometimes there is an asymmetrically encrypted symmetric key packet included in the message so that GPG (or whatever) does not have to ask you for the symmetric key. This is all fairly generic, if you actually have the symmetric key you can use it directly even if a key packet exists. This means that you can give some entity a key to decrypt a particular message/file without revealing your asymmetric secret key associated with your identity.
> why would anyone invest in creating a connector they cannot market?

Would a new proprietary charging connector sold and controlled by a single private entity be a good thing for consumers or the market ?

Having that company be forced to go discuss with the regulators first if they want to push to market looks like a decent safeguard to me.

It's too late to change the host, but it doesn't mean you have to accept the whole shit show and not call them out
