10 lies on 10 different topics is of greater value than spending an hour trying to pin down the one gotcha line on 1 thing.

In effect Sorkin et al interviews has MADE the fraud case for the government. The lies are evidence there was intent to defraud.
> Yeah, but why do you need to extend your life?

There are two distinct concepts here - your life span and your health span. Your life span is the duration of your life, and you health span is the duration in which you are able bodied.

Some of us want to have a health span closer to our life span - and that is the goal of these "creative" behaviors. If you want to increase life span you have to get lucky, or find a way to stop the entropic degradation of your DNA.

> If you just wanna live long the stress of being a CEO will surely outweigh any benefits your creative dietary expression will deliver.

This is just a strawman.

> IMO many of the CEOs who do this do it more for social reasons than anything else.

You'll find that applies to literally any behavior.
Read the paper I linked to.

The researchers aren’t stupid, obviously they try to control for things like schooling.

Therefore, the strongest evidence for heritability of IQ (and the fact that it increases with age) comes from twin studies, where twins were separated at birth (by adoption).
This was my experience as well. Opera 12 was my browser of choice because of the built-in feed reader. There were several times where I exported my feeds to an .opml file and started over, because I was inundated with updates and following way too many blogs.

I still have these exports, backed up to a CD somewhere.
Yup. Working for early stage start-ups is like entering a lottery that sells incredibly expensive tickets. Sure, you might get really rich some day, but there's a much bigger chance you miss out on wages and spend more than 40 hours a week working with no payday ever.

People should really be more aware of this, but as usual, everyone only focuses on the winners.

So what is it, intimate or social? Sounds social from what you say, like monkeys picking bugs out of each others' fur.
Yeah this is a global offensive by the plutocrats to discredit public health care. It's going on in the UK, in Sweden too.

When are people going to wake up and smell the class war?
I guess thats a joke. Adding a single extra bit would usually be more complex then going to 64bit or going to 32bit unsigned.

Well, I say that, but actually, "adding an extra bit" is basically what going from signed to unsigned would do. So maybe they just added an extra (32nd) bit?
Eight neighbors plus the cell itself. With a period of 35,328 and a size of 2048 x 2048 cells for the OTCA metapixel you end up with ‭75,866,302,316,544‬ bit without any compression.
Nice demo project!
I think AoC isn't that far removed from code golfing, and a lot of people have custom languages for code golfing.
Variable length is solved by inter-digit timeout - pbx is waiting for a couple of seconds, then decides that the caller has finished entering the number and processes the collected digits according to the existing rules. Simple as that.
Yes, they pretty much are. It's trickle up economics in this world. Employees only work for the benefits of investors and executives.

Thanks! Indeed, I auto-detected your feed with my system and you're right about the people who know about RSS will find it, but I catch myself looking for an icon first. It also signals that RSS is still alive.

I think somewhere close to the email subscribe box will do the job. I even check the footer a lot, or the blog section of pages.
thanks Ted :)

Please consider GIS/spatial extension. SpatiaLite is pretty bad, for example the KNN feature is deprecated and the replacement has not yet made it to a release yet.

What a laughable game of telephone. A writes “holding their heads in their hands”. And B, presumably to add their own twist to the story, perhaps to avoid quoting A verbatim, turns it into “put their fingers in their ears”.

Edit: Just realized that A actually did speak of the father putting his fingers in his ears.

What's your point?

Labor is compensated peanuts in comparison to capital. Neither is a charity, just that employees are materially worse off in these cases.
This is inevitable and artists need to learn to adapt and accept that AI is the new normal and it is here to stay.

We cannot ban stable diffusion or an chatGPT, even an open source version of AlphaCode may come sooner or later.

Is it AI garbage? sure, but pushing back won't fix anything really.
What matters is the depth to your water table. This site seems like a good resource: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-can-i-find-depth-water-table-s...

Note that the water table in that case would only fill the pond to the depth of the water table. Otherwise the surface of your pond will flow out into the water table.

The other strategy (as used in this video) is to instead cut off flow with ground water. In that case, what matters is whether more water flows in on the surface (rain, creeks, what have you) verses evaporation and any leakage.
Like on macOS, probably lots. It's not casual users who are at most risk but semi-techies savvy enough to follow a tutorial on disabling SIP to do something benign but not savvy enough to know of the implications. There are more people like that in digital native generations, perhaps even more than actually "casual users" in the old sense.

I know such people who use alternative browsers. They are OK jumping through an extra hoop to use non-notarized enthusiast-made software. And don't underestimate how people like to reskin their OS GUI which on Apple hardware is not possible without full root and disabling various security measures.
Amazingly performant. Runs on old hardware very smoothly.
Cool! Thanks for letting me know this is possible.

Nah it's much simpler. The reason RSS failed is because Google killed Reader so they could push content creators to Google+.

That in turn led to other companies with the ability to set things at the time gradually deprecating and removing their build-in feed readers (thanks Mozilla, thanks Apple) and the result is that RSS "failed".

It didn't fail, it was murdered so Google could promote their failed social media network.
Assume all your machines have Internet access, which they probably do these days. Instead of having to create firewall rules and routes and that whole mess in order to connect to a machine on "the inside" somewhere, the machine reaches out to the Internet and creates a tunnel, and you connect to the machine through that tunnel.
You should always be able to know revenue, so valuation is x 2 if a consultancy and x 10 if software. Likewise, increase/decrease based on whether revenue is doubling/tripling annually or not. The average multiple goes up and down all the time, so don't fixate on the value this month / year, as an exit, if any, can be many years out.

Nowadays typical to have no participation multiple, just 1x preferred shares ("first money out"), so you can add up the money raised, which is often ~public

Ex: a co that raised a total of $100M on $10M revenue... returns you nothing. They can call themselves a unicorn but that's between them and the investors. The investors, through preferred shares, own all the current market value.

Also, ultimately, this is all funny money. A company no buyer wants is worth nothing. Likewise, if some sort of existential PR bet by the acquirer, the acquisition $ can be magnitudes more than any sense of team/IP/revenue $, like the early acquisition of Cruise.
Eh, I have a friend who is incredibly talented and when their indie game became iPhone game of the year it couldn’t have been anyone else I knew, the guy was just that stellar. Definitely a combination of ability and persistence and a little luck.

If I would given a chance to become a president,who among the 17 president would I follow
Or a poem about Apple as empire created by OpenGPT:

An empire of technology,
A king among kings,
Apple reigns supreme
With sleek devices and shiny things.

From iPhones to iPads,
They rule the world of tech,
With their sleek design
And user-friendly interface.

They've conquered the market
With their innovation and might,
And their loyal followers
Stand by them, day and night.

Their empire continues to grow,
Expanding far and wide,
Apple is a force to be reckoned with
And a true global empire, inside and out.
Respect to the developers for their effort. But I would never get into dwarf fortress because to me the idea is kind of insane. I get that it is fascinating to try and model complex
real-world behaviour into a video game. But the truth is you can spend 100 lifetimes worth of time perfecting these systems that try to appear like a physical world (but really aren't) by trying to preprare for every possible situation the player can get into. And in the end you don't even come close to preparing for 0.1% of the possibilites.

So on one end you are mercilessly sacrificing gameplay for complexity to the point where the game devolves into manual reading. And on the other hand the complexity is never going to be enough.

Maybe in the future AI Networks will be able to come up with convicing game-systems like in dwarf fortress on the fly to offer an illusion of complex emergent behaviour.
Natural order is not necessary something we want, it can be, but not always.

i use it to access my NAS/network drive when im away from home.

when im at home i can access it no problem since im connected to my home network and so is the NAS. when im away its not possible to connect to it because im on a completely different network.

with tailscale installed on each device makes it seem like im still on my home network even when im away.
Thanks for the pointer; another one for my "to read" list.

However i have read about the Economist Utsa Patnaik's works on the same subject where she makes the argument that Colonialism/Imperialism gave rise to and sustained today's Capitalism. There is a direct correlation which is well supported by available facts. Whether we want to face it or nor is another matter.

Some of her works can be accessed from my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33979856
It doesn't prove anything.

They could have a $70b in total assets but $140b in liabilities. We don't know. They would still be able to handle $2B fairly easily.

But the fact that they paused USDC withdrawal means they're not backed 1:1 like they claimed to be.

> Immutable data structures (but not variables)

Why not not immutable variables?

About 90% of my variables I only assign once, even when writing ordinary imperative (not functional) code. Wehever a variable is re-assigned that usually is a mistake or or something unexpected going on.

I find it maddening most of the languages don't have single-assign values like Scala's val (const doesn't count because you can't initialize it with a runtime-computed value).

Which also exist on other platforms like Android.
I switched from GMail to Fastmail a while back for the same reason as you. I'm still on Fastmail. It has apps and everything else that GMail had, and a better web UI on top of that. Have you considered that perhaps you just picked an alternative that didn't really suit your requirements?

That aside, all email is pretty much as decentralized as Mastodon is, since it's all federated.

> We haven't seen any meaningful increase in real earnings in the last 50 years, despite massive increases in productivity.

It's funny how this is so widely recognized, yet at the same time we like to claim that college, which also started gaining in popularity 50 years ago, will increase your earnings...
This is interesting.

I've done plenty of work for LSEG over the years, and most of it was with AWS.
I get all of that. I just don’t see why this is an issue. Far as I can see the accusation is that Apple communicates in a manner less consistent with people who contribute to open source projects and more consistent with just about every major consumer-facing corporation on the planet — then yeah, you’re completely right. I’m just trying to work out where the controversy is. Or why it matters.
In English courts, there’s some debate about a defendant’s ignorance of the law.

In this Chancery case from 2021, the judge mulls over what it means that a defendant is “unaware”. He considers the distinction between someone who knows about the relevant law and misunderstands it vs someone who doesn’t know at all. And the judge briefly wonders whether someone working in regulated activity (like finance) and completely unaware poses the most risk to the public.

The judge left the issue unsettled, but it raises the possibility that ignorance might count against a defendant. The Chancery Division handles business disputes, though, and I imagine the criminal courts have their own rules.

Paragraphs 22-25 are most relevant: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2021/995.html

Americans should be as free as the government they elect chooses to enforce via law.

>Linus Tovalds springs to mind and is the 'owner' of the particular OS the article's author was writing about.

Linux is just a Kernel, and Linus is the copyright-owner (of Linux (the brand)), not the 'owner' of code mostly others made.

>I would argue the author has a similarly silly attitude which is the GPL is so bad he won't even taint his machine with it.

Please read the article again, it's not against GPL but against those extreme RMS-mind's in the FSF community.
> Imagine if BSD and Linux developers could cross-pollinate code

Nothing in the GPL prevents you from making your own derivative. Anyone can take that derivative and make their own. What it prevents is forking and closing the source of the software. We wouldn't have code to cross-pollinate at this stage if it were not for the GPL.
I don't think it's lottery. I think that we don't want to admit that most people are just bad at designing and developing games. I hang about on /r/gamedev and I've seen a lot of posts complaining about low sales and not a single one of those games was compelling
The headline is misleading. The IP was "stolen" by an American company. I put stolen in quotes because an employee of US firm Brion stole his own IP, in the sense that he developed tech working for Brion, and then ASML acquired Brion, and the employee left and started a new US company, XTAL, using some of the old tech that he developed at Brion. XTAL paid a huge fine to ASML, and then the same employee went to China and was hired by a Chinese company. This Chinese company then raised some money in Chinese capital markets. That's the story.

However there is no evidence that the Chinese company stole any IP from ASML, and certainly there has been no court case or finding of fact suggesting that the Chinese company is using the stolen IP. The offense committed by the Chinese company is hiring the employee of the American company who continued to use IP that was sold to ASML.

down round sale doesn't mean purchase price is less than invested.

i.e. company brought in a total of 30-40 million in investment at a 300 million valuation. sells for 200 million. they still sold for a lot more than invested.

also, for people still at the company, my observation from friends who were in that situation is that if they are buying the company for the talent, they get good retention offers.

In this case, yes, it could be that they are wiped out, but the employees got a salary and the investors will lose money overall. so the employees come out ahead of the investors.
Well, luckily China does not control the language used on HN or in the world in general, so stole it is.

Then why haven't Meta already removed their apps from the Apple App Store and only released them on the Meta Android Store? Make their apps exclusives to an alternative of iOS altogether. Do you think users would be forced to buy a Meta Phone in that case? Or would they be able to ignore it?

Or maybe Meta are forced to release on Apple iPhone because consumers have power. Well that same power can get them to release on the Apple App Store if there were alternatives. That's how supply and demand in the free market works.
Seems untrue:

Directors have specific, well defined legal duties to their company which includes a duty of fiduciary responsibility. That is why they're directors rather than "head of product" or "VP of marketing" or whatever other meaningless title people bestow on themselves. Saying "my boss told me to do it so it is not my fault" is nonsense because you have no boss beyond your shareholders.

I wonder if the liberal west mentality is the only way to make technological progress. I dont think in an autocratic society people can really thrive. Maybe a bit. But i dont think China would ever be able to pass the US and Europe with high tech. Everything is copied and stolen. They cant even implement or come up with decent safety standards in electronic devices. Their factories are dangerous places where curruption is daily practice. The individual doesn't count. Its all about output. How can that ever lead to creativity and happy researchers. Or maybe this all is changing in China?

Do you feel that your being “hacked” was somehow a result of your using Tailscale? I mean, that’s the obvious implication.
The US did the same thing early on to Europe. It makes economic sense to steal IP, but that doesn't mean we should be okay with China doing it to us. They're still an economic and geopolitical rival and if we want to maintain our standard of living, maybe not give away all of our competitive advantages (since we've already handed over all our manufacturing).
