Civil and criminal penalties: 2.3B

>American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. and its subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn Company Inc. agreed to pay $2.3 billion to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products. Pfizer was required to pay a criminal fine of $1.195 billion and Pharmacia & Upjohn was required to forfeit $105 million, for a total criminal resolution of $1.3 billion. The other $1 billion represented a civil False Claims Act penalty.

Rezulin liver damage. 750 mm

>In January 2004 Pfizer announced that it had taken a $975 million charge to cover legal costs, including 35,000 personal injury lawsuits alleging that the diabetes drug Rezulin, which had been sold by its subsidiary Warner-Lambert, caused liver damage. The company did not announce the cost of the Rezulin settements, but it was reported that the amount was $750 million:

Celebrex/Bextra
745 mm

>Primary Offense: drug or medical equipment safety violation
Secondary Offense: product safety violation
Violation Description: In October 2008 Pfizer said it was taking a charge of $894 million to cover litigation costs relating to its anti-inflammatory drugs Bextra and Celebrex. Of the total, $745 million was to cover product liability suits relating to the two drugs.

Honestly, without even looking at PACER, the fact I'm seeing these plus consumer protection + workplace safety + kickbacks and bribes has me seriously wondering why we don't crack down harder on companies that see the occasional criminal/civil case/willful non-compliance charge as the cost of doing business.

I'm almost afraid to look through the legal briefs, because I'm sure either A) it'll destroy what little faith I've managed to hold onto in humanity, or B)it'll just make my drive to go to law school to become a civic pain in the ass that much worse.
Where do you see WKRP listed?
I'm waiting for it to develop further, I'm very excited, especially because I still play Crystal Saga everyday, I don't know why, but it's got something that I haven't been able to find in any other games.

But sadly, I haven't been able to make Crystal Saga work using Ruffle

Different case. That was Apple assuming that people would rather have a slower phone that worked instead of a fast phone that just randomly shut down.

Took them like two weeks to release a patch where you can pick which option you like.

As someone who had an iPhone that claimed to have 30-40% battery and then just shut down completely when trying to make a call, I really would've preferred the slowdown option.

It was fixed by a 50€ new battery.
If Proton is accepted as the solution to Linux gaming what is the reason for a developer to build for Linux over Windows?

Funnily enough there are parallels with that to why Apple didn’t want Flash on iOS. If you could make it in Flash and ship to both why code an iOS app.

Same thing, zero reason to make a native Linux build while that works fine.
>> iPad has several killer apps, but the one that is probably the most important is Safari, followed by Mail, followed by Maps (and Google Earth), followed by a combination of Camera and Photos, followed by a tossup between Contacts and Calendar, then Books, Reminders, etc. That these applications are not original doesn't matter. The tablet form-factor and iPadOS platform makes them all earth-shattering for anyone who has previously been tied to a desktop or laptop with a conventional OS.

None of those are killer apps.

A killer app is an application that is so unique and so useful that it sells the hardware:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application

Web browsers, mail clients, maps / navigation, camera software, photo software, contacts management, calendaring, ebooks, and todo list / reminders software are available on iOS, MacOS, Android phones and tablets, Windows desktops and tablets, and even Linux desktop environments.

Are you really saying that the iPadOS version of those applications is so superior to any of the other competitors that people buy iPads just to use the iPadOS versions?
>for me, there's a good enough balance of software freedoms.

For me, it clearly is not. It being an OS, there's an implicit expectation that third parties will write software for it, and it just doesn't sit well with me.

>it's worth considering that the commodore scene is tiny, and that Greg's site has long been a key resource in the community. his buyer's guide and programming tutorials are widely cited -- these are resources he contributes freely.

I used them before, love them, even have a local backup in case they go away.

But as for C64 OS, only disappointment. I had some expectations, which were just betrayed.

>Greg's influence has helped increase the size of our community by lowering the barrier for entry.

And yet, a new proprietary OS raises the barrier of entry. It creates yet another silo. To access it, having a C64 is not enough, you'll also have to buy C64 OS.

>but your comment is unnecessarily vitriolic.

Is that because it disagrees with your views, while politely describing my actual feelings on the matter? I do not appreciate being told that my feelings are not valid.

It really makes me sick, and I am less willing to participate in the C64 community now, as my energy will be drained every time I reference his excellent documentation.

> it’s not collaborative, it’s a walled garden.

I’m not following the dichotomy here. “Collaborative” doesn’t mean open and universal and free and cross platform… it means collaborative.

I also wouldn’t use Freeform (or Pages, or Reminders) in a professional capacity where I need to work with lots of people in heterogenous environments.

But I love Freeform (and Reminders) at home with family. I find them very collaborative AND a walled garden. The two seem like entirely compatible attributes.
If I had to make a guess on what is going on, Binance US is using Binance cloud, which allows for other platforms to tap into Binance’s orderbook liquidity and infra. Mandala(an exchange) uses it, and their token mdxt doesn’t trade on Binance but still uses their infra and wallets for instance.

There could be a similar arrangement where US pairs don’t appear on the intentional exchange and vice versa, even if they use the same infra
Apple M1 Macs and Studio Display Now Benefit from DIY Repairs
Pfizer has more "surface area" but beyond that, no. Prosecutors love shooting fish in a barrel: it actually makes smaller biotech firms more attractive regulation targets.
Same reason the rockets NASA uses are not reusable. It’s not part of the mission.

Yes, it’s short sighted but unfortunately a result of extreme budget constraints.
It isn't though. a capitalist country would have private ownership and control of companies. China has government companies and government control of private companies and works lock step all together to keep the average joe in line and the factories churning out product. They now even have a strong man in charge for life. Therefore, China is more accurately described as a communist country that saw communism didn't work so they spent half a century pivoting to fascism while keeping the commie colors and aesthetic motifs.
Quantity of datasets doesn’t seem like the right metric. The library just needs the datasets you care about and both libraries have the popular ones. What’s more important is integration and if you’re training custom TF models then tfds will generally integrate more smoothly than huggingface.
Good for you. 17 years since I met my gf here.

And I started on vim a long time before IntelliJ :-)
This is only true on the browser. Server-side JS has threads: https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html
Interestingly, Netbeans (though strongly Java focussed at the time) once had a fantastic collaborative coding plugin at one time, based on XMPP. It got killed because Sun wanted to foist their own "via Sun servers" thing on everybody. Needless to say, both solutions died on the vine. How sad.

Browser-based BS... I'm never going to buy it. Personal prediction (contact me if you're willing to put Swiss money on it; I am!) - in 5 to 8 years' time the pendulum will be swinging back to device-/locally-hosted apps because of $unforeseen-issues. And fashion.
>Even though I have a Mac, when a prospective job applicant sends a resume in Pages, it’s a disqualifier, because they don’t understand that Windows users can’t read that.

Most critically, other components are also failing so you don’t get that much more lifespan with unlimited power.

A brush doesn’t work well in a zero moisture environment.

The dust is horrifically abrasive and brushing it along the panels would cause damage.

The added weight would have to be compensated for.
I once did a fair amount of experimentation and found titanium to impart a much stronger metallic taste than stainless steel.

Aluminum is not an amazing food contact surface — it’s quite reactive. I would not use an uncoated aluminum bottle for anything other than plain water.

Anyone knows of a modern browser that still supports flash?
I'm stuck having to use old browsers, which I'm not very happy about.
Ruffle doesn't work the for game that I play (Crystal Saga).
It can be a little bit of both.

For what it's worth, for a time Google Chat federated other XMPP services and it worked just fine. They eventually shut that down for $GOOGLE_REASONS.

Companies aggressively going after open source 3rd party clients caused interoperability to suffer greatly. Mandating open standards can help mitigate the most user-unfriendly parts, which often turns out to be the "business model".
A React Developer's First Take on SolidJS
As an admirer of Elon Musk and a soon-to-be Tesla owner, I'm bitterly disappointed to observe Twitter returning to government control and sway from the mainstream media. I had naively assumed that this would be a social platform where the government could not flex its financial muscles to suppress dissent. Going forward, it appears that decentralization is the only viable choice for a democratic internet, and Twitter is in a tough spot, with little hope of shifting away from advertisement to a payment-based model without Elon's guidance.
Aluminum has low thermal mass but high heat conductivity. So the heat transfer to the pizza would be fast, which is good, but there wouldn't be a lot of it unless you had a really thick chunk of aluminum.
It is possible that the one "international" exchange is the marketplace where buyers and sellers are matched, while the .us is the custodian of us clients. Thus you would constantly have settlements (net) between the .us custodian and the .int custodian for matched trades on "the exchange".

This is how I would set it up, but wtf would I know.
Aluminum would not be good. It’s too thermally conductive, so it isn’t a good “heat capacitor” the way brick or steel are
Love self checkouts. It does seem like they suck to police (as the article says), but I think they’re awesome as a consumer.
well there's emacs, although it probably wouldn't qualify as 'attractive'
> Oh shucks. Docker's value proposition is emphatically not security.

Congratulations, you have just discovered the additional value that WASM will bring to the Docker approach.
This is a good example of how those in the commanding heights can order changes to a society or economy, but fail to fathom all of the cascading ramifications of their decision.
The amount of ignorance in your post about the realities of poverty in the US is so hilarious it’s like a copypasta.

“Stupid poor people. Just find a friend with a car and go to Costco!”
Even the most environmentally conscious person in an industrialized nation will emit massive amounts of CO2 in their lifetime, provided of course that nobody invents a "quick fix" for CO2 emissions in their lifetime. Of course in theory the child could be that person to invent that quick fix, but the expected value is still that the child will contribute to a lot of CO2 emissions.
Very interesting, and frankly inspiring to see you get this creative.
Very cool, how are you doing the speech-to-text part, with Whisper?
Rust - I would not give rat's ass about what language was used to write an IDE as long as it performs adequately. VS Code definitely does it. I for example can comfortable edit, compile and debug my code written in C++ and other languages locally and on remote servers with fast turnaround. VS code is the closest thing ever to come to a full blown modern IDE. Replicating this complete functionality and plugin ecosystem will not be easy. I would not even bother looking at things like Zed unless it can do the same things.
Didn't work the last time I had to have a meeting with my kid's teacher on Teams.

Had to literally quit the meeting to pick a new webcam, Teams wanted to pick the shitty laptop one instead of my dedicated camera on top of the main monitor. It also wanted to use the webcam's microphone and display's speakers instead of my actual speakers and proper microphone.
>You keep going on about how I am doing something to make words into violence yet you have not addressed that I asked you for any example of my doing anything like this.

the first post of yours I replied to has a false equivalence between assault without violence (basically uttering threats) and words being violence. I referenced it in my last post - how I thought it was an outright argument in bad faith because it ignores the details of what that means.

> I really do hope you have a plan because at the end of this if you and the other extremes have their way we will be stuck on two sides with no way to have any kind of productive talk at all about anything.

I just live in the world I don't dictate it. If you want to argue words are violence and then say I'm the toddler because I treat you like you propose treating others, we're now in the same 'you lack the ability to self reflect' stage we were when this started.

dont declare discourse violence and then act offended when people don't take you as a good faith participant in discourse. You're the one who can't handle other people's words effects on your emotions, so declared words violence. Who is the toddler there?
Can't there be a time limit to allow for repairs and restorations? A month, six months. Occasionally I'll come across a vehicle that has obviously been in the same place for years: cracked tires, oil spots and or larger weeds growing around.

It's usually obvious when something is getting worked on vs something met its forever spot in the yard.
> totalitarian social-credit system

The "Social Credit System" is a myth that just won't die, no matter how many times it's debunked.

Go to China and ask people about their social credit scores. They'll have no idea what you're talking about. No such system of scoring individuals exists.

The actual social credit system is for regulating businesses, and it's actually incredibly boring.
Small and speedy animals perceive time faster than big, slow creatures
This is definitely a pattern that I see. What's often overlooked after giving the problem and all subproblems much thought, every problem detail has a corresponding implementation. A simple solution is one that can somehow group problem details conceptually then design a de/composition with natural seams and loose coupling.

The difference in process I usually see is incrementally coding up a solution adding detail cases vs first mapping problem facets to concepts then factoring those concepts so the implementation has boundaries that follow the problem seams. Just because you can point to an aspect of the problem for every line of code that exists doesn't mean it's not over complicated.

"Over complicated" is either an assessment by someone who doesn't fully understand the problem OR an inability to see or even imagine that a simpler solution could exist. Simple doesn't mean easy (e.g. add an 'if' somewhere in current design). Understanding is not only about coverage. A thing that I recently encountered is decomposing a problem top-down, and implementing the solution top-down, which lower-levels getting parts of the problem at hand unnecessarily leaking into it. Once I suggested to think of decomposing the problem top-down, but built the solution bottom-up from that envisioning, all the while trying to name concepts of the lower-level things and keeping them as free of unnecessary details at each level, things cleaner separation of concerns with deliberate interface points.
I have my own subjective opinions about social media, as does OP. OP suggested I inject positivity into mine, so I am curious to see what their subjective opinions are in an effort to perhaps shift my perspective.

Every component runs into issues, look at how many rover’s wheels had issues before the panels failed.
Probably because they had fun doing it?
Or maybe not. It's harder to change an organisational DNA than just changing the people.

tl;dr: MS is still evil.
systemd-coredump is vuln, systemd-oomd kills the wrong stuff, and you don't even learn that these programs exist (and are running on your system) until you find out from a CVE or a blog post detailing how to mitigate the problem[1].

[1]: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/SystemdOomdNo...

And then, there are very few alternatives, because more and more software requires systemd (and even if most things still don't, so much stuff requires glibc so Alpine or OpenBSD aren't always very good as alternatives).
>Sometimes the costs aren't known in advance

3M knew for decades about the dangers of exposure to PFAS chemicals but didn’t inform the public.

During the 1970s and ’80s, it conducted studies on its US workers that showed PFAS building up in the bloodstream.

In 1977 the company determined PFOS was “more toxic than anticipated” in a study of rats and monkeys; in 1978 a monkey study had to be stopped after all the animals died within the first few days because the PFOS doses were too high.

In 1980, minutes from an internal 3M meeting said workers at the factory in Antwerp were told the chemicals had been found in human blood, but the company decided not to tell the government
> and today we can do everything Flash did, and more, with HTML, and WebGL

This is a myth, theoretical true, but practically impossible. Flash was so much more than a browser plugin. With HTML5 it is so much harder to maintain a framerate, while in Flash you almost didn't need to care about that.
One of my favorite things about HN is that comments from folks who obviously didn't read the article tend to sink to the bottom.
This is like the "trick" I use to avoid US speeding fines: I don't speed in the US.

Then same level of fake "outrage" and (at best) ignorance applies to the rest of the article.

There really SHOULD be a requirement for centralised exchanges to hold coins (in wallets they alone control etc) equal to customer deposits (with a reasonable get out for USD/USDT/USDC/BUSD etc fungibility). But there isn't. So Binance.US is free to hold them or transfer them to Binance. And given the terrible service offered by US banks, it is not surprising that they have to use Binance(main)'s rail to access payments. In fact it's totally standard.
Organizations and individuals tend to oscillate. Often they do a "build" project that goes badly, resolve they are going to "buy", then "buy" goes badly and they are going to decide to "build" next time.

It would be a mistake to assume that either "build" or "buy" is automatically superior in any given situation.

What I will say is that the vendor has a team of flying monkeys that will spread FUD about "build" and the other vendors because that is the marketing message that moves the needle.

How good the product is really depends on the mental model it is based on. If the mental model is right it will be excellent but if it is wrong you are in for a world of pain.
I've also had this experience; it's a major UX fail. I uninstalled Numbers/Pages after it.
There are some great videos on youtube about how people hack their oven's auto clean mode in order to get the temperature up for the purposes of making a killer pizza. The auto clean, blasts the oven at a high temperature, but when it's engaged it locks the door so you can't open it. People rig the toggle so that they can get the higher temperature and still be able to open the oven to put the pizza in. This lets folks achieve high temperatures closer to that of a brick oven (but not quite that high).

Thanks for providing a possible explanation I hadn’t considered. The article feels off to me
Hey man, I get it. I'm a worse, less moral, human being than you are. It's just my lot in life, and as such, I deserve to be judged for it.

But I must ask, could you judge in silence? I suspect I'm not the only one who finds the noise distracting.
Disagree. Coinbase has been around forever and was born out of the collapse of MtGox and people wanting some adults to run an exchange. I would not be surprised at all if Binance is a house of cards, I would be very surprised if Coinbase was.
Vulkan is designed for all GPU needs, from rendering to general purpose compute.

> None of the industrial uses of fluoropolymers can cause significant pollution. However using them in things like kitchenware, or worse, in packaging, makes no sense.

I presume it is possible for these industrial uses to cause significant pollution, but you mean that it is not difficult to prevent pollution from these processes because they happen in controlled locations?

Contrasting that against PFAS in kitchenware, packaging, or rain-coats where pollution is incredibly difficult to prevent because low-level leakage occurs everywhere?

I believe a lot of PFAS contamination comes from the production process itself. Especially looking at the 3M plant in Belgium. To what degree can the production process be made contamination free?
