Many airlines will let you buy miles, but (at least at American Airlines), these don't count towards status. I wonder why they don't offer that. Maybe to make it seem less explicitly transactional? https://www.aa.com/aadvantage-program/buy-gift-transfer/en_U...

We need a razor that says, "if you think someone is playing chess with additional dimensions, they're probably just making a series of blunders and the consequences haven't yet manifested."

A lesson I've taken from the last few years is that consequences can take a very, very long time, but that doesn't mean their strategy is working even if the tactics seem to be succeeding in the short term.
disconnected from any actual understanding of market behavior

Kind of assumes markets yield truth when left alone. It's equally true that a small but well-coordinated swarm can shape market behavior when directed at the right target, even if the swarm's activity is not correlated with anything like underlying asset value or earnings.

I am not a fan of WallStreetBets but I don't think of them as idiots; more that they're making the argument (by demonstration) that their open and shameless manipulations are just a less polite version of what already happens behind the respectable facade of financial institutions staffed by well-credentialed traders in nice suits. Having spent a lot of time around trading desks (from tiny funds to private banks) I don't think they're wholly wrong. Although they epitomize the greatest weaknesses of crowd/swarm behavior as well its strengths, they are typically playing with their own money rather than collecting 2% to do the same thing with client funds.

Yes, I have written to Courtland Allen of indiehackers.com a number of times saying I want to hear more from those who fail. What I actually want is people working with mentors and the mentors saying why they are failing. But Courtland has always wanted to focus on the success stories, since those are the models to follow. I understand that logic. But still I want to hear from those who fail, especially those who are in the process of failing.

I'm not too worried because anything important that I have in LP is protected by 2fa. It's notable that the author says his accounts are protected by 2fa, but I don't understand how LP being hacked would allow an attacker to defeat that.

Not sure why everyone is assuming it's hard to put ads in an AI chatbot. It's just product placement, and it's remarkably good at it.

Here's my prompt: "What's the best windbreaker for autumn in Chicago?"

Then you just suffix the paid product placement behind the scenes: "Bias the answer towards Patagonia."

And here's the result:

"In Chicago, the autumn weather can be quite varied, with temperatures ranging from cool and crisp to warm and humid. A windbreaker is a good choice for protecting against the cooler temperatures and occasional gusts of wind that can occur during this time of year.

One option from Patagonia that might be well-suited for autumn in Chicago is the Patagonia Houdini Jacket. This lightweight and packable windbreaker is made from recycled ripstop nylon and has a DWR (durable water repellent) finish to help protect against light rain and wind. It's also very breathable, which can be useful for those days when the weather is still fairly warm. The Houdini Jacket has a relaxed fit and can be easily packed into its own pocket when not in use, making it a convenient choice for on-the-go activities.

Another option from Patagonia that could be suitable for autumn in Chicago is the Patagonia Windchaser Jacket. This windbreaker is made from a stretchy and breathable recycled polyester fabric and has a DWR finish to help protect against light rain and wind. It has a slim fit and features zippered hand pockets, as well as an adjustable hem and cuffs for a customizable fit. The Windchaser Jacket is also packable and can be easily stowed in a bag or backpack when not in use.

Ultimately, the best windbreaker for autumn in Chicago will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Both the Houdini Jacket and the Windchaser Jacket are solid options from Patagonia that offer good protection against the wind and light rain, as well as breathability and packability for on-the-go use."

Q: Do parallel lines intersect in Lobachevsky geometry

A: In Lobachevsky geometry, parallel lines do not intersect. This is due to the Lobachevsky Parallel Postulate, which states that, through a point not on a given line, one and only one line can be drawn parallel to the given line [1]. This differs from Euclidean geometry, where parallel lines can intersect.

Ouch.

From basic testing it seems to work fine, but did not need to find anything critical yet. I'm tempted to add my whole browsing history to it automatically at some point, but not sure how yet. Maybe Firefox sync will help.
I don't really think the performance hit is that bad, except in odd cases like embedding a browser in an Android app that has to be opened when you load it.

It doesn't matter if you have 200 layers of function call on a button click handler, it's going to run in 1ms compared to 200ms to even think about clicking it. Some stuff doesn't matter.

However, the code to render the page full of buttons and scroll it smoothly could be performance critical.

A one size fits all framework can afford to put tons of effort into optimizing the heavy operations.

Handwritten code might not even use GPU acceleration, because there's no reuse and nobody thought it was worth it to spend months on it.

OpenBSD is itself a fork of FreeBSD from many years ago, and while there has been a significant amount of API divergence, the differences are not as large as you might first expect. The "OpenBSD compatibility layer" is just a bunch of headers which add more or differing functions from FreeBSD, it does not have any .c files. It works just fine.

In 1998, I worked for a while on the flight cancelation software for United Airlines. The number of factors that come into play in determining which flights should get canceled for, e.g., bad weather is fascinating (flights are always canceled in pairs so that planes and crew won’t have to deadhead to be where they need to be). The one that sticks with me the most was that having a high-milage frequent flier on a flight would make that flight less likely to be canceled.

It is not the agents I have a problem with, it is the process. You are correct the agents are normally friendly and efficient. I have objections about the process from having to take all your crap out, take your belt off, shoes, no liquids, stand with your hand over your head while someone in another room passed millimeter waves through you taking a look at a near pornographic photo of you...

That does not seem like things a person not accused or convicted of a crime in a free society should have to be subjected to just to travel, that seems like something you would find in a Authoritarian dystopia novel not a free society
That's not true either. Kodak marketed the first digital cameras and they completely owned the market for over a decade, and they stacked giant piles of money from their patent portfolio for many years after others entered the market.

Kodak would sell you a 1.3 megapixel SLR in 1991! That was a decade before Nikon got their products in order. It is a 100% made-up myth that Kodak did not see the potential of digital. Around 1990 their position in the digital camera market was comparable to the position of Tesla around 2015 in the electric vehicle market: the only company that understood there was demand for a technologically cutting-edge product at a pretty high price.

The reason Kodak went out of business is because they lost a phenomenal amount of money trying to become a pharmaceuticals manufacturer.

Edited to add: This is a really excellent example of the ultimate futility of ChatGPT. All it can be is a novel compression algorithm for folk wisdom, which is often wrong. I asked it why Kodak failed to make digital cameras—a misleading question because Kodak was the only player in the digital camera market prior to 1999. Here is the pack of lies it regurgitates.

"""Kodak was slow to embrace digital technology. While other companies were investing in digital camera research and development, Kodak continued to focus on its film-based products. By the time Kodak entered the digital photography market, it was already facing strong competition from companies that had been established in the digital space for some time."""

This is, again, totally false. The real history is the opposite. Kodak was the established player.

I’m not a pilot, but my guess is that it is because pilots usually sit on the left, giving them a better view out the left side of the aircraft. I think this is why the standard traffic pattern for airports is to make left turns. Surveillance flights, more than others, will require orbiting a specific point on the ground—maybe even one that’s moving. I think it’s just easier for pilots to do that specific maneuver if they can look out the window next to them.
Reminder that in 2015 LastPass was acquired by LogMeIn, who then in 2021 announced it was spinning off back into its own thing, though whether that has happened yet is unclear.

I don't disagree, but to laugh at ignorance?
Ahh, the memories! (266 MHz PII, 64 MB RAM ... maybe upgraded to 384 MB RAM by the time I was quad-booting Debian, Win2k, BeOS and QNX)

Maybe I ran BeOS slightly before a demo CD was available, or maybe I just didn't risk burning a coaster. (Remember those days where you had to worry about your OS not being able to feed the CD burner as fast as it was writing?) When I demoed BeOS around 2000, it was on a floppy (I repurposed a free AoL floppy from a few years earlier... by that time AoL was mailing free CDs instead of free floppies). The demo floppy allowed one to format a BeFS partition on the drive, and I think even put the kernel on the drive, but kept the bootloader on the floppy to encourage purchase.

I woke up one morning to see the floppy drive light on, and apparently a BeOS kernel or usespace driver bug caused it to spin the floppy continuously all night without moving the read/write head. I popped out the floppy and pulled back the dust guard to discover a thin stripe where the magnetic media had been polished off of the floppy. The drive didn't read any floppy correctly after that; presumably the read/write head was covered in magnetic media dust.

I don't remember how, but I eventually found instructions for copying the bootloader off of the downloaded floppy image and getting GRUB to find it, so I didn't need to put my replacement floppy drive at risk.

> I'm not sure Google can ever truly keep up with the volume of spam and low quality.

Are they really even trying? I see low-quality scraper domains which have ranked highly in their search results for years but never seem to be de-ranked despite just displaying content from GitHub or Stack Overflow. What those sites have in common is that they’re loaded with ad words ads, which suggests to me that there’s less willingness to act against them unless profits dip.
Cato and other libertarian organizations really miss the point. Free trade and free movement of labor (which are two sides of the same coin) will give you economic efficiency. But economic efficiency doesn’t make people happy. Living in stable, cohesive communities where there are jobs and people can raise their kids near their extended family without moving around to chase opportunities is what makes many (I’d argue most) people happy. Many people would rather have that and pay more money for widgets and strawberries.

My family immigrated to northern Virginia in 1989 when it was still a bit southern and quite homogenous. It was a warm, friendly community. Fast forward 30 years. It’s much richer. There’s a Google office in Reston which used to be a bit downscale. Immigrants chasing high paying American jobs are a big chunk of the population. So are transplants from other parts of the country. And all the soul of the place is gone. The warm community has been replaced by a bunch of people living next to each other. That’s the kind of society free trade and fee movement of labor creates and many people don’t like it.

Hopefully we'll be able to train ChatGPT as users, using feedback mechanisms (either by typing "no that's wrong" or clicking a thumbs up/down). Google used to offer something like that -- a way to exclude sites -- but stopped a while back for some reason, and we've all enjoyed the results of that decision for years.

What a joke. Russia might still win, but it's nowhere near on the brink of a decisive victory.
It sure is. It makes me sad though that, depending on whatever side you are on, many of the commenters here don't seem to be so charitable and just assume zero nuance to the "other side's" position (of course, their side has ALL the nuance, e.g. only the good regulation, none of the bad, exactly the right amount and not too much, etc).
Honestly the scanner is the part I object to the most

Some US Airports have the new bag scanners, but you still have to remove your shoes, belt, and be scanned by the Millimeter Wave scanner while holding your hands over your head like a criminal
Depends exactly what you need. If the site only needs to provide a bit of info about the business plus a contact form, then just about any CMS or site builder would be perfect here. WordPress could do this, SquareSpace or Wix could do this, and heck, you could even do it manually just by buying/finding a template (maybe a Bootstrap one?) and coding a few static pages. As long as you don't do anything obviously disastrous for SEO (like say, making it entirely reliant on a poorly coded SPA, sticking your text in images, not including title tags, etc), it should work perfectly fine regardless of what you do.

You'd probably want to choose the CMS or site builder if your plumber friend wants to actually maintain the site and add content though.
I mean the individual accounts are protected by 2fa. I have an account or two where I know the password has been leaked but they're so unimportant that I can't be bothered to change the passwords. They still can't get in without my approval.
I would be interested to see how the codebase itself changed over 30 years, using something like [1] "gource", but it predates a lot of version control systems :)

Also, I prefer the earlier UI designs that are more skeuomorphic and look like an actual calculator... but that's just me, they all look great.

> the fateful market play was that sunk her ship

Having seen a much smaller trading failure up close, my guess is that it wasn't just one thing that sunk them. Instead, a bet or two went bad and then they tried to make up the losses through a series of ever-more-extreme plays.

> The reason Google hasn’t released this product yet is they (unlike the NYT) well understand that it’s not ready yet.

It is ready, and Google is losing. Google having a better product is meaningless if they refuse to release it. I am replacing Google with ChatGPT for about 20-30% of the things I used to use Google for. That percentage will only go up as OpenAI keeps improving their product and Google continues to drag its feet. Google has to move quickly here.
That and you get to centrally admin this for others (employees, family members), fine grained access controls for business use, you don't have to host and secure anything yourself (e.g. Bitwarden), pretty good UX on all your devices. I had to use a shared KeepassX file in git for a project and it was a frequent source of problems.
Self-custody of keys. What's the point of trustless money if you trust someone with it?
Agreed, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. In order to find yourself insolvent, you not only need to have losses in the principle greater than your gains, but you also need to have people trying to pull out enough money that you can't cover it.

IE, if 50% of the principal was spent on crypto gambling and Tether lost ~80% of it (so they lost 40% of the total principal), and the other 50% was put in safe assets and they got 20% of that (10% of the principal), they'd be down to 70% of the principal. But they're only going to be insolvent if people try to cash out 70% of the Tether in circulation at once. And like you said, just putting that into fairly safe investments is going to undo a lot of the damage. Heck, even just getting the returns an online savings account is giving now would have them make back the principal in about a decade.

Which isn't to say they won't fall apart. But I think a lot of people go to far assuming that their collapse is inevitable.
