Got a price on Andreessen being an investor in Hive? I just checked in Crunchbase and it looks like they’ve raised $3M but no specifics. And all I’m able to find is that it’s from an unnamed angel investor.

$3M seems small potatoes for Andreessen unless he’s trying to do a Tab vs Diet Coke thing and corner all the options.
Gross profit, not net profit.
The problem is what happens when you apply this philosophy to yourself.

It might help if you’re too hard on yourself.

But if you’re egotist (like many founders), it can be used to justify all sorts of wrongdoing.

“I’m getting away with it - that’s a problem with the system not me.”
How do you distinguish two users with the same date stamp, to know they are two diff visitors?

User A: last-modified: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT
User A: last-modified: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:01 GMT
User B: last-modified: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT
User B: last-modified: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:01 GMT

Next you see:

User ?: last-modified: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:02 GMT

Which user is it?

And have you had 2 count of visits, or 3 count? How do you know?

Finally, these aren't really counting visitors, but views, of this URL, by this browser, right?

There's a conventional taxonomy of terms for web stats, something like:

- users (as in MAU)
- visitors or uniques (typically daily uniques)
- visits or sessions (multiple views from one visitor in a cluster)
- views or pageviews (.html pages)
- hits or requests (every object gotten from server: .html, .js, .jpg, etc.)

Looks like your GIST is causing a remote user agent to store a count of its own views.

// I haven't tried it, just a quick skim of the blog and the gist, raising this question. I'm probably missing something.
I don't understand how the customer wouldn't belong to Apple.

I can't go into McDonald's and order a Whopper. McDonald's owns me, so long as I'm in their store. If I want a Whopper, I have to go to Burger King.

"But Burger King is farther away, and thus, McDonald's has a monopoly on that customer" is a weird argument.
"A journalists job is to report the news, if they don't feel confident in a given domain then they can sit the story out."

That may have been the case in the past, but "journalism" has radically changed within the past decade. Today it's more about telling the story that the media conglomerates want the public to hear, than about honest reporting.

Public distrust of the media is at an all-time high, and growing.
The alternative is spreading your eggs all over the farm, with no way to keep track of where they all are. Many will be put somewhere, then forgotten about.

Do you really think that’s safer?
What does “tampered with” mean? Particularly in the context of a device you own?

I would consider a device tampered with if someone besides me (the owner) did something with it, without my authorization. But anything short of that is surely just me using the device. I mean, I have physical possession after all.
Okta actually supports this with their device identity policy, but in this scenario the IdP doesn't necessarily have insight into who's issuing the token (The AWS case involves AWS getting a valid auth from Okta and then issuing the token) so that wouldn't work. RFC 8705 covers binding tokens to an mTLS Identity but basically nobody supports that.

There was a blog post on HN a few days ago by someone who taught himself programming during covid and landed senior roles (multiple, simultaneously, by lying to the employers).
With Galaxy phones they are extremely hostile to unsigned flashes to the device. You essentially need to exploit a zero day in the stock rom to get temporary root and then while you have temporary root you flash a new recovery. And then you gotta make sure it doesn't flash the stock recovery back in the next boot by making sure your next reboot goes into the recovery. And then you can flash your custom ROM. I skipped some steps too.
The full line from the article appears to be more along the lines of (and I am paraphrasing here) "no one wants Mark Zuckerberg's cynical and unimaginative interpretation of VR" and not a dismissal of the technology itself.
This comment section is hilarious. Some don’t want to acknowledge the obvious, and instead try to tip toe around the subject with funny excuses such as, “MSM are not crypto experts”, “his 40M in donations to democrats do not hold any value anymore”, “his family ties to Democrat and academic leadership only makes his inner circle judgement more impartial”, etc.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
I had written a piece of code that was trying to process things at disk line speed and bounds checking was the first bottleneck I discovered in profiling. I think this is very dependent on the application. It’s unlikely to pop in many applications, but if you’re really trying to push the machine, it seems possible to be the first bottleneck.
Unless you've been there, you have no idea what soul shattering chronic pain is like. 85% of overdose deaths are from elicit drugs. What is the DEA is doing about the Fentanyl entering from China? Nothing.
Yeah sure, but it’s different to what you claimed originally.

To use an example:

Person A: “I saw a person arrested for licking a lollipop!”

Person B: “That person had a communicable disease and was ordered by law to isolate. They weren’t arrested for licking the lollipop.”

Person A: “Well you don’t see murderers get the same level of attention as this lollipop guy! That’s all I’m saying!”

Regardless of how you feel about enforced quarantine, the person was not arrested for licking a lollipop.
This is what Intune and similar provide, but you need some existing, secure registry of devices before this works.

Cross device webauthn is the better solution here but it's still vulnerable to the oauth phishing called out here.
> The research team followed a group of low-income Latino children in Northern California as part of a larger project aimed to prevent childhood obesity.

Presumably we shouldn't draw too many conclusions until a broader study is done. Latino probably doesn't matter but low income and limited geography do.

Maybe it's time to reevaluate this man's actions given the current media zeitgeist?
"Nature vs. nurture" is in the public conception a live debate, but it really isn't. The data are in. If you're genuinely interested, Pinker's "The Blank Slate" is a great overview of the argument for the layman.
As the accountants say:

Profit is an opinion, but cash flow is a fact.
>redux, react are heavily influenced by concepts from functional programming

Functional programming concepts don't require learning category theory

>rust has novel concepts from type theory

Type theory isn't category theory. Rust's borrow checker was not inspired by affine types.

https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps//blog/2012/02/15/re...

>data engineering in the cloud age leverages a lot of algebraic concepts to achieve massive data throughput

This doesn't requite category theory and those are basic concepts from algebra that you can learn outside of the context of algebra.

>We have parser combinators, lambdas, stronger typing, map and flatmap

These don't require category theory either.
I think the only MacBook Pros with real TPMs were the 1, and 2, series from 2006/2007. Right now Apple don't allow you to do device identity attestation with the secure element. But in the world where you take this approach you don't just tie issuance to "I have a hardware keystore", you tie it to "This hardware keystore has an identity that I know belongs to a computer I own"
I think it's more that people outside of tech often also have great ideas that could potentially make a great MRR quickly, but most never even try, then a lot simply fail and you never hear from them too, then there's the ones who actually do learn all the coding required and other skills to make a successful website and actually do become successful, but by then the people you hear of being successful are of course just a small subset of the people who actually had a great idea for a successful business that would make high MRR quickly. So, to me, the idea or the need being solved is the primary driver of what ultimately makes a business successful, even though of course so many skills are required, amongst other things too.

It's mostly for dynamic pricing (based on time of day, number of customers, weather, you name it). It'd be more expensive and time consuming to send an employee with a label printer all over the store a couple of times a day.
This is absolute insanity. Is there anyway to reverse this? A statewide initiative to ban this in all local jurisdictions?
Why? And why is that more secure?
>Fair enough, but you should know that calling out cancelation as a growing flaw of society will often not be received as a neutral position

Unfortunately, to those who view the world through the warped prism of partisanship, there are no neutral positions. Everything is tribal - Red or Blue. Statements aren't ever read with an open mind about what is actually being discussed, but rather scrutinized for indications about whether the author is on one team or the other, so they can be either supported or attacked.

>It ends up making your comment appear to have a specific political slant even if that wasn't intentional.

To tribalists, everything has a political slant.
If that's not a scathing indictment of the kinds of simplistic thinking that cryptobros think can solve real world problems, I don't know what is.

Of course, the fact that it makes it impractical to buy any kind of expensive product is merely a detail. As is the extreme cost of non-fraudulent delivery failures in this scheme.
That would be a valid point if the phone wasn't vertically integrated with cloud services and ongoing support from the manufacturer.

The terms for access to the app store are based on licensing for the software that's part of the device. I could see a reasonable compromise where you can wipe the iPhone and start from scratch with your own OS/drivers/etc, waive your warranty, and then be free to go nuts installing anything you want from any app store. I just can't imagine anyone being happy spending the thousand bucks purely for the hardware.
Why do they need to open the OS up anymore than they have? Their accessibility APIs are already industry leading, constantly being worked on and provides the ability for devs to make heaps of apps on top of it.

What more could you want? I like that apps can extend the usability of macOS in ways that Apple wouldn’t do themselves. And if I don’t like a specific app, I can just remove it.

Genuinely curious would opening the OS would do.
And people still ask me why I don't use password managers..
Signing images and requiring that the bootloader can't flash anything else is just vendor lock in / ceding your power as an end user. It doesn't make you more secure in any way since a bad actor will figure out a way to bypass making writes to the system partition.
It depends where the solar farm is, how new it is, how much a share costs, what the management is like, and what the company’s financials were like. So maybe.

I believe the standard legal vehicle would be a corporation so that investors aren’t liable for any debts or lawsuits. Just issue shares.
WebAuthn uses such a directory already. Most implementations validate the attestation against a public database of ‘trusted’ device types (and DAA enables this to be done without compromising anonymity, up to the uniqueness of a device type)
I can confirm that. Employee need to work at least 20 hours per week to maintain valid status - being on payroll is not enough.
It doesn't have to a backdoor. A malicious employee can have access to the keys.
I mean I absolutely agree with the first point. The reaction of the adults in these circumstances almost certainly is worse than the damage caused in the first place.

What this means in the grand scheme of things though I'm not sure.

What is the alternative though? Trying to shelter kids from the internet with filters which are guaranteed to be either overbearing or easily bypassed? Deny them a phone which many of their peers will have (in all likelyhood the photos will just get taken on someone else's phone)? Try to treat them as intelligent young people and explain the realities.

Bartosz's teaching/explanation style does not work for me.

I have no formal critique of him, or even concrete things to point at to say why it doesn't work for me, but I wanted to add my comment in case someone else was also feeling discouraged by not taking much away from the writings/lectures of an often and highly recommended person.

I generally learn very well from lectures/essays, but that hasn't been true for me re: his work.
I think the only appropriate future for controlled substances is a kind of restricted open availability with monitoring and support for abuse.
Ok, now explain bad debt expense in this model? And the implication on taxes? How about the secondary market for debts and bankruptcy proceedings? And then capitalizing expenses?

This post just says the same thing everyone understands in the simple model with abstractions based on crypto that attempts to explain group behaviors. How someone goes about reading the incentives and behaviors with the simple model does not mean the model is wrong - multiple choice tests allow people to be right for different reasons.

Edit: and I forgot the softball, the FDIC insurance explains an insane amount about the inherent risks of the system. If you want to know the real “creation of money” if that number ever goes up, you’ll see some wild things.
The only thing that the U.S. constitution has to say about gun laws is "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". Which means Puerto Rico's gun laws are not in line with the current interpretation of this cryptic sentence prevalent in the 50 current states (as in more strict - what a scandal!), but saying they are unconstitutional is a bit of a stretch IMHO.
What would you suggest to teach them? I was never really bullied but worry now about my own son and what to do if he is.

Making direct comparisons of software to trades generally needs to stop. I understand that it's merely an analogy, but it's not a good one. Nails are extremely well understood with little room for improvement while the smallest piece of software is not so well understood and has infinite room for improvement. There are a handful of traits about an engineer that can make them incredibly valuable to an org that you'll never measure by putting the most weight on their ability to balance a binary tree (to use the cliched example).

How Not To Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenburg
Calling Elon an “alt-right troll” is the height of nonsense… do these people actually understand what alt right is?
Ya, most people who have been in the game for a year ask for "senior" position. I'm pretty sure this is why there is "staff" now. Well, I'm not sure how long "staff" has been a thing as I've never worked at a company that has that title, just interviewed for them (nb: I interviewed for "senior" positions at said companies).
I think you've also missed the argument.

So, the side I don't particularly like goes like this. Alice deposits $10 into Bob's Bank. Bob's bank now has $10 of liabilities (Alice's account) and $10 of assets (Alice's ex-Money). Charlie _wants_ a loan of $10. Bob records an increase of assets by $10 so now the bank has $20 in assets and records a corresponding increase in liabilities (to balance out the minted money) of $10 so now the bank has $20 in liabilities. Then the bank gives Charlie this _new_ money. In essence, the bank is not giving out depositor's money for loan but instead new money. (See the Bank of England (BOE) paper for details showing this [1]).

My argument is that (1) the same BOE paper shows that whenever that minted money needs to leave the minting bank's computer systems an equal amount of money from somewhere (either that bank or the receiving bank) will be destroyed. (2) That money will commonly move between banks. Therefore the fact that money is minted is irreverent because it's subsequently quickly destroyed.

Side note, it makes total sense to me that a bank would rather mint money in a lump sum exactly equal to the amount needed for a loan than figure out what fractions of the loan should come from what depositor. Its just practical.

> I just saw that the New York Times also has a big story about this: Physicists Create ‘the Smallest, Crummiest Wormhole You Can Imagine’. At least this article has some sensible skeptical quotes, including:

>> “The most important thing I’d want New York Times readers to understand is this,” Scott Aaronson, a quantum computing expert at the University of Texas in Austin, wrote in an email. “If this experiment has brought a wormhole into actual physical existence, then a strong case could be made that you, too, bring a wormhole into actual physical existence every time you sketch one with pen and paper.”
My impression was that the device was repeatedly fetching site.com/auth/userid/session_id and waiting for a response with a token in it.
The BoE considers savings accounts to be part of the 97% of money in an economy. Although I'm still not too sure if you're on the side of a bank using a depositor's money or minted money for a loan.
