Actually yes the problem was tracking the transactions. There were literally competing spreadsheets that teams of lawyers had to argue about and reconcile by looking at emails between traders and comparing row by row. Have you ever tried to compare two spreadsheets? Lawyers know how to blackline two word docs. They don’t know how to compare two datasets programmatically. It’s part of the reason I started coding. I felt after charging $850hr to manually compare row level data across spreadsheets.

In fact counts eventually started getting harder on banks, rejecting the argument that tracking transactions was impractical and ruling in favor of homeowners and making the banks eat the loss for their own shoddy paperwork. But for many it was too late.
of course they can ban them without any reason whatsover
More than you'd think. We're talking about the CBD and inner suburbs, there are a lot of late night venues and people often use public transport around here which involves a bit of walking. And 10pm isn't that late, particularly on a weekend.
Many people believe that the "traditional" way of building C/C++ applications is an antipattern. Such a belief is, in fact, a core reason to adopt bazel. If you don't believe that, then bazel may not be for you. It is intentionally opinionated in a way that you aren't.

Quite seriously. I think out of nearly all of the energy options out there (green or not), it's certainly the least "offensive", plus, it's cheap, efficient, and definitely green (other wastage aside), to boot.

What's not to like?
Ah, yeah I see what you're saying. Twitter may not be the best example though. Users don't pay anything, but they've also failed to turn a profit.
Just seconding IFS. It has been a dramatically useful tool for someone very close to me.
I believe around 22% is standard for PERC which is dominant. TOPCON and HJT are a smidge over 25% but are a bit more expensive for now and use more silicon and silver.

Single junction caps out around 28% at the module level so surpassing this at scale requires commercialising a new technology like these perovskite tandem cells.

The other benefit is it reduces consumption of the main limiting critical mineral of silver down to insignificant levels by increasing the voltage on the metal layer.
But if you don't see the label the default assumption will be 'I need to press this button to cross', so they'll just press it for nothing during the day, which is hardly that bad.
I used to work in music and had to deal with requirements forced on us by labels and such. Those contracts aren't "written 15 years ago and barely revisited" music industry lawyers wouldn't leave a stone unturned of turning it will benefit their client.

Labels do prefer Tidal because it's a service made by the music industry. However, Spotify is lacking features it used to have because they are product driven and such integrations are not on product people's radar (like you said - lazy and don't care).
This isn't middlemen providing no value. If any streaming service can pay Disney to serve Disney content, that means two might start doing it, and then people who want Disney can go with the one that manages lower prices and/or better service—more reliable, fewer compression artifacts, apps on more platforms, plays nicer with aggregators, et c, lots of ways one might be better than another. Lots more room for competition on business models and service quality.

Right now, if you want Disney content through a streaming service, you have one option. If it sucks, well, that's too bad for you, take it or leave it. And same for HBO, for Paramount, for all of them. Splitting up distribution and production creates a better competitive environment, given the existence of copyright.
At 32, I had a Masters in English Literature (which I loved doing) and was working for a non-profit. I liked the organization and what it stood for, but I didn’t love my job and, more broadly, how my career trajectory was shaping up.

After dabbling in coding, which I fell in love with, I decided to go back to school for software development. I didn’t have the high school math grades to be a competitive applicant, so, while working full-time, I re-did all high school math over a four-month period —- finishing just days before the program’s application deadline.

A year ago, at age 34, I started the program. For the first time in my professional life, I feel I’m exactly where I should be. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Was it scary? Absolutely. But even scarier was the thought of looking back twenty years from now having not made the change.

If it piques your interest, go for it!
Because of that, my profile is hidden from the public. I am in the US now but I am from China, is this a reason?
NO. The lasers are immaterial. You could use a hammer to cause the initial fusion (in fact ... [1]). The point of ignition is to have fusion powered by fusion, NOT by lasers. We want fusion of two atoms cause at least 2.000001 other atoms to fuse, and then raise that number. Not even by much 3 will definitely do it. If Q > 1, then this must have happened, there is no other explanation. That's the big advance. The point is to have the fire burn after we've lit the match.

You want to use lasers to initiate some fusion, you can do that using a tabletop laser lab (although magnetic confinement and big voltages is much simpler).

So this is the first machine where we're sure: it wasn't fusion caused by lasers, it was fusion caused by neutron pressure! Where did that neutron pressure come from? From other atoms fusing!

Note also that the sun does NOT do this. Fusion inside the sun is powered by falling atoms converting their falling energy first into heat then into singular fusion events, which essentially explode and throw a lot of atoms back up. Then the cycle begins again. Fusion inside the sun is a self-limiting reaction, which is why stars don't just blow up once, but "burn" over a long time. All the fusion inside the sun really does is slow down gravity for a little bit, then immediately stop. Gravity is producing the heat from the sun.

You're responding to a low-effort joke based on a plot line in HBO's Silicon Valley TV show.
Snopes has a big run down:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fruits-irrigated-fracking-...

There are lots of instances of them irrigating with oil waste water, injecting fracking water into aquifers used for irrigation, etc, etc. Then, there are counter claims like "well, we don't know if the [contaminant we release] is from us or is naturally occuring", or "there haven't been any studies showing this thing is harmful at that level", and in one case "we've been doing it for 60 years". There are also many instances of sloppy record keeping, contradictory statements, etc.

It looks like the standard gross polluter coverup playbook to me.
zstd is quite slow at higher compression levels, if S3 would compress who pays the compute?

Maybe they could offer it as an extra, and spawn EC2 instances as needed and bill you.
Is there more to his story that matches exactly Elons version? He was largest shareholder and then CEO. Yes more LARPing by insecure haters. And then he slept for 7 years, right? And Tesla builds a million cars a year... somehow
> WhatsApp banned links to Telegram.

> Facebook ranks links to Twitter/YouTube lower than content without such links.

Right, links, not "mere mentions".

> Either Elon Musk is no longer "free speech absolutist" or does not consider Twitter policy must match his personal preferences.

Very likely the former - or more accurately, he wasn't ever a "free speech absolutist" in the first place, but dishonestly claimed to be one. The latter is obviously a possibility, though it would go against the whole ostensible point of him buying Twitter in the first place.

> It is quite possible that critical number of users will leave Twitter for Mastodon.

It is also quite possible that a critical number of chicken eaters will stop buying frozen chicken strips in favor of raising chickens themselves or getting chicken meat from neighbors who do so. That doesn't make backyard chicken farmers Tyson/Foster competitors in any meaningful sense.
I wonder if it's already somewhat pervasive on HN.

I see posts that don't quite make sense. Well, we have people here whose first language is not English, so you can't expect perfection.

I see posts that have a definite agenda, or spin on reality, or bias. But humans have those things, too.

But I see the volume of this going up in the last couple of years. I wonder...
Amusingly, some things haven't changed. I was the first student to turn in a word processed term paper at my college, I think in 1983. And I estimate that I earned as much as a full letter grade on my GPA because the prof's had never thought about how to grade a paper that was 100% mechanically perfect. It didn't hurt that I had become a very fast typist thanks to programming. I selectively chose courses where the grading was primarily based on written work, something that most students feared.
Maybe if DoJ has some spare time they and the FBI could look into the very real crimes and corruption evidenced on the Hunter Biden laptop—in evidence since 2019 and nothing done.

Do you have any more information to share?

The ultra-bloated unrolled vector implementations may appear a little faster in microbenchmarks but the amount of cache they take up and other effects like AVX downclocking (for those implementations that use AVX) mean that in practice they can actually be slower overall.

We clearly can. Why can't you?

Knowledge work outsourced out of timezone by more than 4-5 hours is slow. At least 2x as slow, all things being equal. The communication and management overhead is significant to the point where at least an 80% reduction in cost, if not more, would be required, IMHO, to be worth the investment risks outside of the HQ tz.
My ISP gives a new ip address every time the connection drops. I've given up using geolocation ip on websites as it is always off by 200 to over a 1000 Kilometres.
I thought about AWS MQTT "IoT" as the pricing contains gems like a million MQTT packets for a dollar. You'd use a MQTT "retained message", push the current SHA1 hash of the page or whatever will fit (maybe only a CRC32 LOL), then connect an hour later to receive that message containing the hash. The cost would seem to be $1 per 5 years because AFAIK AWS meters on input and output... I'm not bored enough to audit the AWS pricing structure to see if this will work. I think $2 per decade would be hard to beat for a billed service.

I think the cheapest "cheaty" way to store data for free would be to pollute tracking sites. Open an account at some company, change your mailing address every hour, etc.
by which accounts? Their financial accounts show a company chugging along without much concern: they had cash in the bank and were averaging break even each year, as had been the case for many years.
> And, so, did you do the right thing and return it or did you just accept and therefore effectively indicate to Roomba by your actions that you're ok with it?

The burden is on them to not perform those actions, not on me.

I mean, there are other solutions that can solve more complex arithmetic than a calculator.
Bitcoin is actually a lot more complex than banks- which were first implemented in Europe by the knights Templar.

If Mudge/Zatko's complaint from a few months ago is accurate, that doesn't seem like a great idea: https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-whistleblower-jack-d...

> Zatko's complaint accuses the CEO of exhibiting "absent behavior" and a "drastic loss of focus" in his last year as Twitter CEO.

> Zatko also said Dorsey was a "disengaged" leader who only "sporadically" showed up to meetings — and when he did, he sometimes didn't say a word. Sometimes he'd appear to go missing and wouldn't respond to his teams for "days or weeks," the complaint said.

> Top brass worried about his health and tried to cover up for him, but "even mid- and lower-level staff could tell that the ship was rudderless," the complaint said.
Surely the UK have better things to worry about? Like a cost of living crisis?
I did this transition in my late 20s, and it changed my life for the better. It wasn’t easy; I wrote about it here some years ago (I’m now almost 40): http://jeremyraines.com/2015/12/20/the-road-to-in-demand-dev...

There’s not a lot of concrete advice, more of a picture of how precarious it can be at the outset. It’s really about whether you really enjoy the work, so that you’re willing to keep trying when maybe you’ve expended what feels like a lot of effort, yet your mental picture of the career/life seems both distant and dissonant with your (lack of) feeling of mastery. In the end, for me, the doors were opened by meeting & working with/for the right people, but it was a grind to get to the point(s) where I could.

Lastly, there will come a point, which is subjective and tricky to identify & act on, where you transition from “I need to take what I can get to learn and stay in the game” to “Nah, I’m not settling any more; I’ll turn down things that don’t seem like I can thrive as a result”
I love lisp in general as well, but I think lisps will always tend toward an unmaintainable mess unless the people working with it are very disciplined. With the REPL based workflow and macros, lisp encourages a very 'hack on it until it works' development workflow. Which feels awesome but doesn't lend itself to building maintainable solutions.

It's not really very interesting. Those parts of the spectrum are where the energy is concentrated. There's quite a bit in infrared, but it's spread out over a wide range of wavelengths, so difficult to use (except as heat).
Well its a bit better than Adelaide. We were like Sydney and then the stickers disappeared and with it the "auto introduction" of the pedestrian cycle. However the times that buttons need to be pressed is a closely guarded secret. The local Council owns the roads and subcontracts traffic operations to the state "Main Roads" department. If there is a problem you ring "Main Roads" and the response is can't change anything have to refer to Council as we are subcontractors. Won't disclose programming either (Melbourne has it as Open Data) So we get such niceties as:

* Lights adjacent a shopping centre needing to be pushed after 6pm (or is it 7pm?) even though the centre doesn't close or die down in activity till 9pm

* Having to press buttons at each side of an intersection unlike the cars (e.g. for a North South movement a car arriving from either the North or the South will get a cycle, but for walking people if you arrive at the North East Corner and see someone at the South West Corner you need to press two buttons to get both sides lit, even though it doesn't affect cycle timing

* Minor roads crossing major roads that cross major roads stay green all the time for drivers, but not for walkers (but did prior to the pandemic). You need to press the button and wait 20-30 seconds or in some bad cases wait press the button to cross the major road as well to force a new cycle and then get your green after 90 seconds.

Frankly Sydney is streets ahead as it least its not a secret. But still as other commentators might point out, I've seen in suburban Tokyo to cross a major road signs saying "Between 11pm and 5am press this button to cross the road. If you are blind between 11pm and 5am press this other button to cross the road with a beeping noise".
It doesn’t really matter because your analogy makes little sense, but linking to competitors doesn’t work as an analogy for subversion, sedition or treason.

I can go to any market place in Germany and lead a demonstration that’s about how Germany sucks and that we should all emigrate to Canada. I can even bring info material that shows you all the steps about how to emigrate to Canada. That would be a perfectly legal demonstration in Germany and I think in most democratic societies that have basic human rights. I cannot imagine any of those societies considering that subversion, sedition or treason and considering such harmless protests a crime.
Fellow Sydneysider here. I'm enjoying reading the other posts on your blog, glad to have discovered it!
The division performs a right shift, the version given in the FXT book replaces it with a while loop and has the note that one could use a bit scan and a shift. I would assume bit scan and shift is the fastest option - if accessible from the language used - but I am not sure if the loop could beat the division. Also the version from the EA library claims to - but fails to - perform the wrap around, the version in the FXT book does not try to wrap around and I would guess the version in HAKMEM also does not wrap around properly.
Isn’t BSD flavour with advertisement clause + GPL problematic? Specifically that GPL requires no further hindrance to distribution.
Which power granted to the Feds by the Constitution gives them the power to shut down companies arbitrarily without wrongdoing?
Always interesting to see behind the curtain and realize just how heavily manipulated large platforms really are. Time and time again, it's proven wise to interpret all public-facing statements with extreme skepticism.

What I don't understand is how lawns remain legal in California. Drive through a Silicon Valley neighborhood at midnight when the sprinklers are spraying and maybe one in fifty of the sprinklers, run over by some gardener, are spouting a fountain into the air that's just running down the storm drains, and you'll see what I mean. Yes, it's now usually partially treated (not quite drinkable) water, but it's not seawater. I don't understand why they don't mandate desert landscaping, like Arizona, and divert landscaping water indoors.
The only journeys I can consider using a car for is ones that walking and biking are not practical for, and that public transit is too unreliable/slow for.
