Man, I was wondering about this myself, as a guy with 10 years in the phone firmware business

I don't think Musk has any realistic chance of competing with Apple. Apple has been poaching from the best of the best in every level the phone industry for over a decade now.

He could quickly and effectively crank out an undifferentiated Android phone for sure, but I'm not sure what he'd do with it or how he'd convince anyone to buy it. His phone would be more expensive to make than the ones out of Moto, Huawei, etc, and it wouldn't work as well. Maybe if he hired aggressively or borrowed people from Tesla somehow he could make a good Android phone, but I don't see why anyone would buy it.

I actually thought that by now we wouldn't really be bothering with apps so much, and computers would be more like the one on Star Trek. I don't think Musk could just toss that together any time soon though, haha.
Nothing going forward can help in that case, but we can still weigh impact on other threat models going forward.
And stop asking me to do a survey on your website when I've only been there for 5 seconds.
I'm working in ML, and to be honest, looking to get out. The place I work seems to be rather keen on deskilling, replacing custom models with OTS components, requiring everything be written in Python and so on. I'd rather enjoyed working there the last couple of years, but the fun is slipping away, so I'm planning heading to general web-dev.
>Trainings are given for free in coops? I can't imagine myself or my friends working for free, are you forced to work for free in a coop? As in, would I be forced to give trainings too? I value my time too much for this. Of course I do the occasional free tech talk for my friends/the public, but that's not in any way comparable to a "full" training.

No one said anything about training for free. This was an example of work that needs to be done for a client that you may not want to do yourself. A junior level member of your coop could travel to the client's site and train them on how to use your software, learn from the experience and make valuable ties, while you stay at home and work on more appropriate tasks.
I've been trying this on and off for a couple of years, blocking out time in my day to do "actual work" and avoiding meetings. All that happens is the sales people (inevitably it is sales people) book a meeting with a customer without checking my calendar first.
My own working model is one of complexity building up over time. You can handle it fine as long as you don't have many fields of endeavor, you have plenty of time to periodically focus on them, keep the stuff organized, can fully finish a project and button it up, etc. But then things happen where you're forced to clear out your mental cache, or even screw up your organization/storage system for whatever, and it comes crashing down. Then all the complexity you were managing gets in your way, and the problem snowballs unless you regain some bandwidth and take steps to mitigate the decay.
I asked around similarly earlier this year. Some money goes somewhere... But likely not as much, and not widely distributed.

In my convs with GPs, most LPs are very happy to avoid capital calls right now, as they went too far in during the heyday. They will remember GPs forced them during a bad year.

When they do go in again, it is at lower valuation multiples, which can easily break cap tables of recently-raising startups. That triggers a downward spiral if they luck into such a fundraise. I bet more likely is what happened ~4 years ago was a lot of the $ went into a smaller # of stronger co's, and I'd expect even more pressure now. Big funds need big winners, and FTX style frauds and less ponzi acquisitions means return of later-stage diligence.

When LP money turns back on, unclear if at rate of last few years, which is largely attributed to dumb outside money enabled by low interest rates and startups being good risk/reward. There was fear due to lack of IPOs & historically weird revenue vs valuation multiples, but the above factors counter-weighed. So with valuation multiples cutting and low interests shrinking.. different world for LPs.

Net:

1. less $, and to fewer co's

2. This is still a historically amazing time for startups & founders, but feels closer to 10 years ago, than the last few years which supported a lot of people who were mostly providing value on paper, not in revenue.

And yet, you somehow managed to pick HN over reddit over TikTok or slack or discord or 100 other options. Or maybe all of the above.

I'll never get the hand wringing over missing out on posts on some other server. There's tweets and reddits and tiktoks all over the place you'll never see. The lesson should be to make peace with that, not try to find them all.
HN is a project carried out with the motto of zero features. So there is probably no such feature and never will be.

I don’t think that is true at all. There is economic value in a piece of equity in google. The price someone is willing to pay for it changes frequently.

1. Factor for domain concepts rather than abstract 'machinery' in an effort to be DRY. DRY doesn't reap its value unless the thing you're avoiding repetition of are domain things. Be very intentional and consistent in naming, only using different naming when it makes sense for different contexts.

2. Don't be eager to concretize your abstractions. e.g. It may be the case that you need to use a state machine (SM). If you already have state types/objects, you can add what's necessary to clearly document and enforce transitions. What isn't always necessary is extracting the state machine portion to an abstract set of nodes/edges. Such a thing is useful if you have either dynamic SMs or multiple similar ones that are hard to maintain 'in place'. You can easily tell which path you're on if your class names don't have any domain terms in them and instead layer mechanism names. i.e. A class/object can implement a mechanism without having it extracted to being its own class/object.

The above could be summarized to saying write "clear code" (domain level thinking) rather than the shallower "clean code" mechanical refactoring.

It's not for regular folks for the time being. Because account creation from joinmastodon.org is such a mess. Try it out. Click create account, and then what? It's hopeless for regular folks.

If main server mastodon.social could handle masses it would be much simpler experience.

Tech people are patient and adopt it first. Mastodon needs a new way to join, a main server that can handle huge masses.
I get the sense from your response that your self esteem is hurting. I don't know anything about you nor what you look like, but keeping fit and being mindful about what you wear goes a long way in my experience, both in terms of your confidence and attraction from other people.

Just to add a little context to this comment, the world's foremost nuclear power (the USA) runs live-fire exercises every year where its army practices invading North Korea. Under these circumstances, it's entirely rational for the NK government to develop nuclear weapons.

If the US government really wanted to stop this, it could offer a good faith deal for disarmament involving some kind of reduction of sanctions or normalization of relations.

Instead US politicians prefer to hypocritically hand-wring about other countries' nuclear development while maintaining a massive nuclear arsenal to threaten every other country, and while invading or bombing other countries on a regular basis. These are the actions that cause states to feel threatened enough to pour enormous resources into nuclear weapons development.
I see it as a disclaimer: "I don't claim this to be the best thing applicable to everyone. I have strong opinions that some people don't agree with and this list doesn't include some things other people's lists would."

In contrast there are some list which claim to be comprehensive.

HN doesn’t care. In the past, I requested this very feature citing both the increasing ease and likelihood of correlating user data since 2006 and the very much increased safety risk of certain speech wrt to various authoritarian world actors.

In an email to hn@ycombinator.com, I wrote:

> ”I understand the user interface doesn't provide for comment removal, but with all due respect it's only a matter of time before that policy contributes to the imprisonment or even death of some of your users.”

> ”It's too late to be entirely safe from historical comments but we have no idea how much the threshold for what is truly dangerous to have said on the internet will change going forward. Even a small decrease in the personal risk going forward is important to me.”

HN’s response was no, because that would “gut the threads the account had participated in”. He then suggested there was upcoming an account renaming feature. Obviously, that feature would do nothing to alleviate the doxxing concerns brought up by the OP.

It was very disappointing.

YC literally put a higher value on maintaining old forum threads than reducing risk former users faced being detained, beaten or killed by religious or political organizations.
>I left not long after and so did many others.

The question from me is, did you manage to move to a company where you got paid the same or more, but for "a day less hours"?

Employers can make that claim if the job market is in their favor, i.e. if most other companies agree with them and decide that they need staff available Mo-Fr 9-5 or for less hours but also for proportionally less salary, which to my experience is most employers.

To normalize this, we need the majority of employers (>51% of them) to switch to paying market rate for less hours, putting pressure on the rest that this is the new norm, but I haven't seen that yet in my EU country, except for a notable couple of companies that made headlines, out of which one recently filed for bankruptcy. So as long as only a tiny minority of companies are doing this, the norm will not change. All businesses here think like your ex-boss: 'Why should I pay you the same for a day less?’ and the market favors their approach as they have seen no mass resignations since they all can afford to act like this.

Therefore, the only solution would be the same as the one that lead to the 8 hour workweek being normalized almost 100 years ago: mass strikes and labor movements followed by government regulations that makes the 4 day workweek the new norm for everyone.
Do you think it is remotely plausible that:

Is NYTimes so journalistically lazy/corrupt that they couldn't connect two obvious pieces of facts?
I wasn't clear - by "the paper" I meant the original CRDT paper. I read it, thought I understood it on some level, but had not drawn the dots between the theory and real world problems.

Regardless, thanks very much for linking the paper! Right up my alley.
I disagree.

If a user asks for their comment to be deleted, then the right thing to do is to delete them. Period.
Ah, okay, that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood. This is not really something applicable to my line of work (standard software development tasks on a larger project in an agile team managed by the client) but I can imagine some of my friends doing this.
I didn’t have time to explore the page much but I noticed a small wording issue that I figured you’d want brought to your attention:
The sentence “A book how to make your forms better.” is missing the word “about” (alternatively, “A book” can be replaced with “About”).

Best of luck with the book!
> Q: How can you 'maintain 100% productivity' when you're not there 20% of the time?

That's a question for the 4 Day Week Campaign, not for the Guardian, and the research they publish and the people who peer-review it. The Guardian are reporting what other people think and say, not thinking it or saying it themselves.
I don't think that's an accurate representation of the criticism. The reviewer is primarily critical that he doesn't delve deeper into the backstories or structural forces that lead to people living there, and seems content with somewhat shallow descriptions of how their lives interact with the author's.

This has been my experience as well. Yet finding technical PMs is difficult, I've only ever seen two in my nearly 20 years. For SAAS non-technical PMs are the worst since so much of the offerings are tech.
Is Amazon not wildly profitable? I don't see why they can't pay "wildly more".
Why yes, if you reply to someone they will see you reply, unless they or their admin has blocked you or your instance. Just like any federated network.
Having not followed the projects' security process, presumably this is something the author didn't think was a serious issue themselves.

This doesn't appear to be new or interesting: If you exhaust a hosts incoming sockets it temporarily can't accept new connections.

Bitcoin itself already prioritizes existing and "good" connections to a substantial extent. Networks and IPs with multiple existing connections are prioritized for disconnection to handle new connections[1]. The result is that most existing connections are undisturbed, which makes it fairly ineffectual as an attack-- unless someone has broken something in the last couple years since I worked on it. A few years ago there were some periodic waves of people attempting attacks like this that went completely unnoticed in public due to their lack of meaningful effect.

It's annoying that new connections can be frustrated while an attack is ongoing, but since bitcoin connections are extremely long lived it doesn't have much of an impact, which is the security property the software is intended to uphold. The comment about 'finalization' suggests the author of the post isn't particularly familiar with how bitcoin works.

And at least if the attack is at a high enough rate, since the exhaustion will happen at the kernel before it gets to the bitcoin software, there isn't much for the bitcoin software to do. The host can implement firewall rules to mitigate, though even that can only work to the extent that the attack hasn't just effectively become volumetric.

It might be reasonable for the bitcoin authors to recommend some standard iptables rules that people should deploy as a best practice to protect their kernel's TCP stack (and avoid the issue that people will screw them up when coming up with their own).

Sorry, but this is simply wrong as a description of what the actual theory of relativity says. So is the rest of your post. I've already explained why.
As a bitcoin holder, I have to agree. Much if not all of the crypto ecosystem is a ponzi.

All of this is what I expected: Mastodon is a great big set of public goods problem waiting to happen, and it will take over from Twitter on the Year of Linux on the Desktop.

Public goods problems include:

* Who makes it easy to onboard people?

* Who is responsible for Mastodon not having a reputation - based on some servers, not all but some is enough - as a sink of depravity?

* What happens if, say, anti-Rohingya activists decide to use Mastodon to spread propaganda and plan violence?

* Who will fix the server when it breaks at midnight? Who will pay them?

* Who will pay for hosting if this is going to scale to the whole world? What is the funding model?

The solution to bad companies - if you think Twitter on Musk will be terrible - is better companies. It is not software run by a collective of Boy Scouts.
You are almost right. Your only mistake IMO is in confounding Music with "Music composition":

To use your expression, Music (and not sound) is indeed, "perhaps counter-intuitively, harder than image."

You also correctly stated the right reason why: "difference in complexity between the two types of compositions"

However, 40 Years of Electronic Music and Hip Hop music have utterly demonstrated how forgiving we can be of sounds like Cheesy synths and low-res samples loops, if they are culturally "organized".

This is good news for AI!

At least in the short term, the real creative potential of AI in music is in manipulating "Musical Sounds", not in generating "Musical Composition".

This is a terrible argument, and clickbait. Obvious enough to anyone who actually understands how bitcoin, or eth work, it does not fit the definition of a ponzi scheme. Most tech stocks fit the definition better. Just because a few centralized banks, (FTX, centralized crypto exchanges are banks) have failed, means nothing, since the original idea of cryptocurrency was to do away with centralized institutions like this.
You would get some hints. There have been situations where someone said "like AnimalMuppet said upthread..." or something like that. But they weren't very common. Maybe 1% of my comments could be definitely identified like that.

Is that enough to define a "style" to determine the rest of my comments? Is it enough to doxx me from the comments where someone else names my nick?

When losing weight, it is important to continue to eat a normal amount of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Only either the carbohydrates or the (non-essential) fats or both must be reduced. It does not matter which of them is reduced, as long as the total calorie amount is restricted enough. It may matter only due to personal preferences, which may make one variant or the other easier to support.

One must use some digital scales for measuring the weight every day at precisely the same moment, because the weight varies during a day by much more than the difference between 2 successive days. An appropriate rate of losing weight is between 100 grams and 200 grams per day, e.g. about 1 kg per week. If the measurements show another rate, then the amount of daily food must be increased or decreased until the rate is in range.

Regardless with which diet you start, if you adjust the amount of carbohydrates and fat according to the daily weight measurements, in a week or so you will converge to the right amount of daily food. However, this requires to measure by mass or by volume all the food eaten. Those who do not succeed to lose weight fail because they either do not measure what they eat or they cannot abstain from eating more than what they have planned to eat.

Losing the weight is the easier part. More important is to plan a diet for after reaching the target weight, a diet that will keep the weight constant, i.e. which must still be calorie-restricted, but at a normal level, and which must be appealing enough, so that one would never be tempted to eat again in the way that caused the overweight in the beginning.
This crosses certain lines. Into sexism and racism.

Should men be hired as wet nurses and midwives? I think the answer is No. At certain times it's not appropriate.

But that's besides the point. Let's not get into this because it's a flamewar topic.

>Most people don't have multiple job offers lined up, which is why it's important that employees have some protection.

I agree. Put it this way. I think it's fair game for the employee to HAVE this protection if he didn't know it's part of job.

But if he knew, and he's taking advantage of this protection then it's not fair game.

>And it's usually for the best of everyone. Even if you enjoy the social activities of your job, at some point you might decide not to go drinking every week, and you shouldn't be fired for that.

I think it's quite obvious if you read between the lines that he's not fired for not drinking. He's fired because he didn't fit in and doesn't get along with the team.

Nobody fires someone just because they didn't drink but is a cool guy to get along with. Basically what's going on now is a lot of people don't like him, and people are forced to work with him.
