You should research a bit before you say there isn’t an ounce of innovation from India. Very mainstream and simple example is UPI (google it). Tell me any system in the whole world which comes close in scale, ease of use and security.

You are discounting Indian institutions, take a look at the Fortune 500 c suite list and tell me how many of them studied at IIT/IIM.

Investment is a key requirement for enterprise. You will be surprised to see the startup ecosystem now since the investment is flowing in.

I 100% agree with the asinine focus on cracking the exam and not anything else. But then the ROI is too good.
Politics, go to Android SDK site, you will hardly find anything related to Flutter.

It is all about Java, Kotlin, C, C++, Web widgets and PWAs.

I am not a big Kotlin fan, the way Android has pushed it using their Android Java as counter example instead of supporting modern Java, however as JVM language it definitely has a broader industry support than Dart.
>> Ideally, there'd be a market with buyers (capturers) and sellers (emitters) (with a negative price, so cash flows from seller to buyer, obviously) for carbon emissions where the price depends on the actual underlying cost of capture, but that will hopefully come in the future, when carbon capture is commercially viable

These carbon permits (also called EUAs) are tradeable as futures and are highly liquid on the ICE exchange. There are even a bunch of ETFs, KRBN being the biggest and highest volume.

The "compact" camera market is a lie.

I have wanted to get rid of my smartphone and downgrade to something smaller and simpler. The one thing tying me to it is the camera. I use it on a regular basis to take quick photos of family or events around me.

If there were a compact camera on the market, I would happily carry around a phone and a separate camera in my pocket.

No such thing exists. Every so called "compact" camera is significantly larger, bulkier, and heavier than any phone on the market. I get it, they have optical zoom lenses and that takes up space. Most of the time I don't want that but there are no options for it. But even the body of the camera without the zoom lens is significantly thicker than a phone.

Near as I can tell, the dimensions of the compact camera have not changed since the last time I bought one, which would have been around 2006. The one thing I can say is that camera still works just as well as it did 16 years ago. Maybe new ones take better photos, but in the meantime, I've gone through probably a dozen different cell phones.

Sure would be nice to have a truly compact option though.
Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance have (so far) stood the test of time and proven that they either hold assets 1:1 and/or are working towards a system to display their proof of reserves.

Personally, I think the risk is low enough for them to hold onto my assets for a few days/minutes (depending on method/direction) while transfers are completed.
This piece raises points we've heard before, but I can't tell whether this particular act of expressing them is some kind of shrewd grandstanding maneuver, or a political blunder.

An undergrad (first year?) Government student, fortunate enough to be at Harvard, writes an opinion piece, in Harvard's newspaper, saying that many administrators at Harvard shouldn't be there.

If, at any point in the next three years, the student finds they need the assistance of an administrator, that could be awkward-or-worse for the student.

And maybe they're not planning on trying to get accepted to grad/law school anywhere with administrators.

> I propose that we cut the bloat. Knock on every office door and fire anyone who does not provide significant utility to the institution.

I'd expect that this level of rhetoric wouldn't play well at Harvard, and I'm surprised if a student there thinks it would.

Maybe it's not for Harvard consumption, but auditioning for a Conservative internship?

I like the spirit of the Agile Manifesto. I feel that the devil is in the details[0], though.

Nowadays, the word "Agile" means "Waterfall, but with different names," or "Tear off all your clothes and run naked through the bluebells! Do what you want!"

I'm really big on Discipline and Quality. It's entirely possible to have a flexible and iterative development process, but there's no way to avoid the difficult bits. They just get shifted around.

I do not disagree. I meant that alpha software has fewer detractors, for the simple reason that few have actually used it for something serious and hit their head against all the bugs and shortcomings. On the hype metric alone, stable software just can't compete.

"There are only two kinds of languages^Hframeworks: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
I like the idea of there being some requirement on student spending for these educational institutions to maintain their tax-free status. Not dissimilar from requiring insurance plans to spend a set percentage (say 85%) on healthcare vs. administration. Having said that, I'd want to game it out to see how the institutions would react and what it would do to prices.

The other idea I like is that once an educational endowment reaches a certain size, all students should go for free (or it could be on a scale relative to endowment size) in order for the institution to maintain their tax-free status.

Maybe I've just drunk the koolaid, but as someone who has given these 'coding challenge' interviews, I:

- Do go into them expecting to see a certain solution.

- Do not penalize people for giving me a different one, if it works. I think that's awesome, personally.

- Do ask people if they can think of additional test cases vs. those provided, and I penalize if there's obvious ones that they don't come up with, or if they just give me a bunch of variations of what we've already provided.

- Do consider whether people actually read and/or understood the prompt (I read it to them). If I've asked you to write a function that returns a boolean, and you write a function that prints 'true' and doesn't return anything, and after some gentle prodding you don't get it, then you didn't solve the problem.

- Do ask for you to talk through your solution and approach so I understand how you're thinking about the problem.

I need to know whether you can code, and more importantly that you understand why you're doing what you're doing. I can't ask your prior employer. Not everyone has open source contributions or a portfolio of work they can show me, and no, I am not going to just look at your resume and say "well, they worked for a software company before so clearly they know what they're doing."

I prefer take home exercises, where there's less manufactured pressure. I think they also lend themselves to a wider variety of challenge vs. the online 1 hour test using coderpad or something, meaning you may be able to ask something more appropriate for the role. But this approach upsets people as well.

> It's not clear why it's taking so long

Investigations like this take time. The old saying is the wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

The new CEO can't even make sense of what happened, and he has access to all internal information. It's going to take a long time to sort out what exactly happened.

Once he is indicted, I'm sure SBF will be well defended. A smart prosecutor will take their time in order to build an iron clad case. If he gets off on a technicality you run the risk of not being able to prosecute again due to double jeopardy. If you want a conviction, you really need your ducks in a row ahead of time.

> but by constantly talking about the case I think he's undercutting himself

Absolutely. The FBI doesn't usually announce investigations, as that puts the person being investigated on notice. Let him talk freely, it's all potential evidence to be used against him later.

Once the FBI announces an investigation, it often means that they have more than enough evidence and are mostly ready to prosecute. By announcing it, they hope to pull in little more information from those in the know, who might not have come forward.

These frauds seem to take place at the speed of light, while it takes forever for justice to show up. But it will show up. The slow speed of investigations is a feature of justice, not a bug.
> It's not clear why it's taking so long

At this point I think the DOJ is just sitting in stunned silence, quietly hoovering up all the data they can and waiting for him to finish adding more evidence to that pile. This will be a blockbuster of a legal case and I expect they're working to get everything lined up before they open fire.

I would predict SBF will spend the rest of his life in a US prison, but OTOH many people reading the statutes had good arguments why Elizabeth Holmes was going to get what amounted to a life sentence, but look what actually happened.

So, it takes energy out of the wind induced by driving cars.

I think that must mean that it slows down that wind, decreasing the benefit other cars have driving in the wake of other cars.

I think the net effect will still be positive (especially on roads with traffic in two directions close to each other), but still, the energy has to come from somewhere, and I don’t think _all_ of it comes from wind that wouldn’t help other cars driving along the same path.

So, what’s the effect on energy usage of the cars?
> Google has become shitty for finding old stuffs

yes, but in their defense, the Internet has become (or has always been) shitty at keeping old stuffs around, so even if Google indexed it the link would be dead or empty by the time you go to look at it.

I wish some small country would promise not to interfere with content moderation. I'd host all my stuff there and maybe even move there

When I worked in a russian hosting provider a decade ago, I saw a glimpse of censorship, very small compared to current level. We received a message that some page on a small news website is illegal, because it "provides information on how to commit suicide", which was considered inappropriate information for kids. The page in question was a news report about a conscript who killed himself with an AK due to bulling.
It’s fine if you have automated margin calls every 30 seconds and you can blow out somebody’s position quickly enough not to lose money. Which is what FTX allegedly had set up… for every trader except Alameda.
The embezzlement portion seems relatively small compared to the overall claimed of losses. Stuff like the property will be recovered too.

But the billion dollars transferred into the pockets of this mobileCoin trader on the other hand...

My mirrorless camera isn't new, but not early 2000s either (GX1, released 2012). It takes about 10 seconds to first photo from off. My Android phone can take pictures without unlocking it, and I've repurposed the PTT button to open the camera app. I can take my phone out of my pocket, take a picture, and put it back in my pocket faster than my camera can turn on.
Totally agree with you that now that React has matured, I have dealt with a ton of shitty React codebases because it really is more of a library that doesn't inform you how to architect your app and thus lots of folks went in completely different directions. Additionally because some of the pitfalls of React can be unintuitive, it is tough to unravel these in a larger codebase.

However, I will say it has been much easier to make updates to bad React codebases than a bad jQuery codebase. The way React works tend to make it less difficult to reason about even if the app is poorly built.

Thinking of solutions for this, couldn't you stagger when tickets go on sale at each venue? Seattle goes on sale at 10am, Portland on sale at 2pm, and Denver the following day? This spreads the demand over time and you don't have 5 billion requests all at once.
I am not sure if it is embezzlement because the shareholders gave him carte blanche. They had no directors (it was only SBF and one of his cronies), they had no-one overseeing anything, all of the transactions were approved by the company (btw, any transfers outside the company can now be clawed back in bankruptcy anyway).

I think the stuff going on with Alameda is a bit more spicy because he, and others, made several very explicit lies about that relationship. The stuff with the houses was unbelievable but the finger should really point at the shareholders who allowed it to happen.
Those wouldn't be retail customers in the US though, they'd be customers in the Cayman Islands...
I don't know why the public conversation is always around "Harvard is doing xyz". Yes it is one of the top educational institutions in the country, but it is also private. The number of administrators they have should not be your concern. Putting political pressure on a single elite university (or group of universities) admitting a thousand students per year isn't going to solve the country's problems with higher education.

Instead redirect that anger towards your state's public university system. Ask your elected politicians why funding was cut down to zero during the 2008 recession and never restarted. Ask why football and basketball coaches are the highest paid public employees in the state and they continue to spend billions on stadiums, despite the fact that the sports has a negative return in all but the top ~5 NCAA division I programs. Ask why enrollment and graduation rates continue to decline while administration costs keep going up. Fighting the Harvard boogeyman isn't going to fix any of this.

Your hard working kid isn't entitled to Harvard or MIT, but they should be entitled to a seat at your local state school at a reasonable cost.

> Write a satirical example of a Hacker News thread about a new service being released.

Title: "Introducing the ultimate solution for lazy people: the 'Do-Nothing' app!"

Poster 1: "I can't believe it! This app is a game changer for those of us who just can't be bothered to do anything. No more guilt about procrastination - now we can just sit back and let the app do nothing for us!"

Poster 2: "But isn't that the same thing as not using the app at all? How does it actually do anything?"

Poster 1: "Ah, that's the beauty of it. The app uses advanced algorithms to simulate the appearance of productivity, so you can feel like you're being productive without actually doing anything. It's like a virtual personal assistant that does absolutely nothing."

Poster 3: "But wouldn't it be more efficient to just do nothing on your own instead of paying for this app?"

Poster 1: "Efficiency is overrated. This app is all about convenience and the illusion of accomplishment. Plus, it's only $9.99 per month - a small price to pay for the luxury of not having to lift a finger."

Poster 4: "I can't wait to try it out and see how much time I can save by not doing anything at all. This app is truly a breakthrough in the world of laziness!"
You mean that "Nobody wants to work anymore" is a successful meme, then.
I get what you are saying but I enable a lot of power management controls specifically so that I can run on the inverter for a long time during power outages. This was a medium-to-low-end PC when it came out so it was already decent on power usage. When the day comes that I replace the HDD with a SSD I'm sure that number will drop even more.
I used to concern myself with it, but then I realized I'm really bad at tracking time/utility

For example, I've always had 'more computer' than I truly need. It hasn't turned out to be a bad thing though, because sometimes usage does surge. Maybe the situation calls for being able to build that thing really ridiculously quickly. Whatever.

I think 'opportunity cost' applies, and attempts on that calculus are beyond me

I do and don’t understand all the hubbub about “free speech” on Twitter and other social platforms.

I can understand the perspective that if someone is making claims that your platform / forum allows “free speech” then people are justified in being upset when this is not the case.

On the other hand the rule since the days of dial up BBSs is: the sysop can do whatever they want with their system, and you are owed nothing. If people do not like how they operate, then they migrate somewhere else. Sure it sucks when you get on the wrong side of a sysop and get banned from a popular board, but that’s just the game.
