Giants usually refer to the atlantean period of very tall people. They supposedly co-existed with the current nation of 5-6 feet tall people, but died out around 12 thousand years ago. India has a story about Ravana, that suspiciously resembles the last atlantean king who went rogue.
The biggest failing for me:

They don't appear to be making any attempt to have the narration use inflections for different characters. This is probably fine for nonfiction books, but for fiction books, it can make it really hard to follow when a narrator does this, at least for me.
That udp2raw tool is pretty interesting. I was pondering about this while I was in China, since an UDP based tunnel was rather slow. I wondered whether TCP would get a different treatment, packet loss for UDP was constantly around 33%, which made me suspicious. But I didn't have the patience to fake the TCP headers properly and simulate a 3-way handshake. I saw the same author created a tool that would wrap UDP traffic with reed-solomon to tackle packet loss. I took the cheap approach and just sent every packet a second time with a delay of RTT/2, so a lost packet that made it through on the second attempt would still be in time (2*RTT) to avoid TCP doing a slow start again, ruining throughput all the time. YouTube went from unusable to doing 480p most of the time.
To me, a career is something you have in an industry, not in a company.
>If labor isn't productive that's not a labor issue, thats a management issue from them mismanaging their labor

You're assuming that any group of talented people can have a 100% track record of success. Some startups (or projects) just fail and it has nothing to do with the talent.

You gotta take bets on new products/markets and sometimes they don't pan out. Sometimes it's just a market issue. There's not always a way to know if it was going to fail beforehand either. If we want innovation, then unfortunately I think these types of sh*tshows are part of the deal, although a 17,000 layoff is pretty gnarly.
Really cool! Excuse me for my naivete but is there a benefit to writing normal JS but then compiling it to wasm? Does that make it faster? Was kinda expecting C or some other language when viewing through the source on github.
I've really enjoyed Babashka lately. Most recently, I ported a script from Bash which gets around WiFi captive portals and was able to add some features and even unit tests. Super fun and would have been hard for me to do in Bash!

FWIW, and not meant as a contradiction: while (talking Britain here particularly) many were still literally slaves under Feudalism (not serfs) and others Villiens (serfs tied to a property - the root of the once-classist word villain); there were also a great many free people taking contracts under bad terms, if only because it's easy for Lords to collude re wages for servants, etc, etc.

Imagine if you could train GPT on the internet archive, constantly upgrading the model as new content is archived. You’re rapidly approaching a non holodeck holodeck from Star Trek.

Not media but medium.
It is, but the fact that the bottleneck has shifted multiple times (as opposed to just this one recent time) is nonobvious (to someone unfamiliar with computing history) and worthy of pointing out.
The people I feel worst about are friends and family of someone with some tech credentials that convinced them all to jump in. You can say these people should have vetted their investment but that's being a bit absurd. Media has been blasting stories about crypto successes uncritically for a couple years now. Some of the most high profile investors in the world are in all this. And on top of that, for our elderly relative, the young tech relative is exactly the person they ask for help in evaluating this investment opportunity. So you can say they shouldn't have invested if they weren't 100% certain, but again I think that's just denying the reality of things.
The way I would interpret such a rule if I read one, is that they want to (1) Prevent github itself from becoming a pornsite - as in people going to raw.github.com/something/ to rub one out (2) Prevent github from being used to promote onlyfans etc.

Links to a model that can be used to generate naked bodies is indirect enough that I wouldn't have figured it broke the rule.

Of course now we know straight from the horse's mouth how they intend to apply it.

As someone who worked on the Shopify iOS and Android codebases, I would argue they weren’t all necessarily so broken. The flagship mobile app (the one primarily discussed in the article) was in good shape on iOS (and arguably better shape on Android). There was some fragmentation in architecture among teams, but overall things were reasonable and I didn’t personally find it difficult to jump into unfamiliar sections of the codebase..

Shopify’s other apps that migrated first were either much older, and therefore had much more tech debt, making the rewrite more enticing, or were much smaller in scope, making the rewrite much faster to get to feature parity. Once all the other apps had migrated or decided to migrate, it made a lot more sense to explore it in the flagship app discussed here.

Some disclaimers, I’m no longer at Shopify, and while I worked in the very early iterations of the port of the flagship app, I wasn’t necessarily a vocal proponent of migrating it to RN. I enjoy RN, but I enjoyed working on the native Shopify apps.

I am also curious what is considered to be unlawful about this. This person has been charged with financial fraud, amongst other things. It makes perfect sense why financial assets would be seized.

And from some other comments pointing this out, this seems to be related to the bankruptcy of FTX and a claim to the funds by FTX.

Inflation, being the rate of change, has slowed down significantly and is back at pretty normal levels.

The 12 month rate remains high because the previous months inflation was very high.

The prices themselves will not go down in price, but they’ve stopped rising at abnormal rates.
Yeah, but if you don't set system proxies and instead you set it through environmental variables only for apps that need it?
Your claim is that tire pollution is a more serious problem than exhaust. These articles do not support this claim. They state that more particles come off tires than exhaust. That's not the same thing. Does tire pollution contribute to global warming as much as fossil fuel exhaust? I haven't seen anything to indicate that.

I'd like to see a number on the difference in particulate production from tires on EVs – I suspect it's only about 20% more.
"The fact that they are essentially illegal in California, and California's economy works shows that are unnecessary and also don't hinder technological development."

I have a disability. A new HR person was hired and she started introducing policies as if we were a 100,000+ person company, when we had less than 400.

Most of those policies ran head first into ADA. Hard. My manager and I had worked just fine with my limitations prior to these rules. The new HR person wanted to overrule everything and then got pissed when she had to start tracking my time off per hour in a spreadsheet and manually adjust payroll because she didn't know how to enter it in the system properly.

She did some serious gymnastics to get me fired over the protests of several layers of management.
"The hackers apparently gained access to the company’s externally hosted GitHub repository using stolen employee tokens."

> satellite will have to transmit power through the entire atmosphere from space, which will have substantial losses even in perfect conditions

Balancing this is at least a half an order of magnitude difference in collection efficiency.

> Weather will get in the way of transmission to the ground, just like it does with ordinary solar

True. But there are extraterrestrial atmospheres where water vapor and ozone aren’t a problem. (I’ve only seen this proposed with microwave.)

> cost of getting a PV array into orbit is very expensive relative to the amount of power it can generate and transmit

This is the killer. That said, this is a long-term research endeavour. If we contemplate such an array around the Moon or on Mars, or in a world with in-space resource extraction and manufacturing, the economics shift.
Short or long term profit is a cultural thing, even some companies value the one over the other. There are also companies, that will never pay any employee more then the industry average. Those are factors that need to be considered.

About people who fight, that's often really hard to judge. In some companies this is how change happens, and it's appreciated in the end (or not).
I don't understand the approach that Tesla and others are taking to self driving. Why are they not building a model of the world and then basing decisions off of that? Roads do not magically change, so why are they constantly re-evaluating things and creating a new model all the time? There are static objects in the world (curbs) and then there are dynamic ones (other vehicles, people, traffic cones when a lane is shut down, etc). Every time I see tesla self driving stuff it looks like the internal concept of the world is wiggling and vibrating and changing alll the time. It seems to me that with enough sensors and fusion you can determine that a car is in fact parked and not wiggling. You can use known maps of the land to infer roads or at least general shapes of roads that could serve as a basis to stack realtime analysis on top of it. I can't help but think going all-in on image analysis is the worst approach possible for this sort of thing. Just because we have eyes and use them to see doesn't mean that computers should too. We have rules hard coded in our minds that help us do most of driving and our eyes are just giving the extra realtime data on top. I know that the road I am on is not going to magically shift/move. You can see very very far ahead in a car and immediately make concrete decisions about your journey (I know at least for the next 500 feet I am going to be on this same road that isn't changing, all I need to do is be mindful of vehicles in front of me).

I am not articulating this well but it has been on my mind for a long time. I can't help but think the current approach of throwing GPUs and OpenCV at driving is a fools errand. Tesla eliminated a lot of their other sensors like lidar and whatnot too, to go all-in on image analysis. Foolish.

Like I said, you must always access sftp through the ssh server. It relies on trusting the configs to avoid a shell.

It means it's possible for sshd to supply a shell if it's merely confused about the config. It doesn't matter how "established" the config is. You are looking at what the config is supposed to do and thinking that is all nice and bulletproof looking. But that nice config that says "user X only gets the sftp subsystem" goes right out the window if you merely confuse sshd that you are not "user X" or any of the other match conditions.

Rsyncd on the other hand, has no code in it to offer up a shell. It can't be tricked into doing something that it has no code for in the first place.

The only reason ssh is usually involved with rsync is simply that rsync is not encrypted, so you tunnel rsync over some other channel to add encryption to it, and ssh is the most handy. But that other channel can actually be anything. It doesn't have to be ssh, and it doesn't even have to be any other form of shell server. For instance you could run a direct rsyncd and access it via vpn or tls tunnel, where together the two parts get you encrypted rsync and neither component posesses any ability to launch a shell, no matter what happens with the configs and no mattet what exploits come along.

Conveniently accessible manual door lock/unlock mechanisms become non-negotiable the moment your software-based power-dependent interface becomes inoperable, especially if that's during some emergent crisis like say a giant lithium battery letting the smoke out.

What? How are they well qualified to do so.

Culture comes from leadership and leaders. When this doesn’t happen, you get all sorts of organizational issues. HR are not leaders. Culture isn’t productive and clicks per hour research or something you can suss out from forced company fun sessions.

This is a root of an issue in corporate America where management (and it’s offshoots like HR) is considered the mindset, and really it’s about leadership.

Leaders set culture, build companies, grow visions. Managers execute that. Some managers can actually lead. HR supports it. When people hate working at places, it’s always back to a lack of leadership in some way.

No, the other poster is taking my original post and twisting it. I haven't said people shouldn't be allowed to have cars. I've said we should strive for a society where you don't need to have a car. Of course that won't be possible everywhere or for everyone. But it should be possible for many more than it currently is.

Your example of the car rental service is kinda my point. It's not good enough now, but if it were always available, that would make it possible for many more to ditch owning a car themselves and only rent as needed. We shouldn't look at status quo and use that to decide, we should look at bigger structural changes.

FWIW I currently live in a small mountain town with 2500 people at 1000 meters above sea level, with -18 C yesterday and ~30 cms of snow today. So I know a lot about living in remote and cold areas.

And please don't accuse me of "shaming" people, that's wrong of you. I want to give people more opportunities, not less. For many cars is the only choice, and an expensive one. Walking, biking, public transit as additional choices would make lives better for many.
It is implemented in certain areas. For example, "gardening leave" is the term used for similar situations in finance.
Not really. My new job was in CA which doesn't honor noncompetes, so they really didn't have a leg to stand on. Mostly just funny.
Maybe it’s a lack of imagination, but I can’t think of why any kind of YC experience should be shameful, provided lessons were learned and no one ended up in jail.

That said, I still agree it should be opt-in.

Arguable, but I don't think it's a slam dunk

The guideline is not that the form is not annoying - some people, like you, will find it annoying not matter what. It's that the complaints about it are boring, repetitive and corrosive to the forum just as any boring and repetitive thing is. That's very much a slam dunk of truth.

> In the case of the MD relative, he was fired, essentially without cause, and his non-compete forced him to be unemployed for a year before he was finally able to convince the former employer to waive the non-compete.

It seems like an easy and obvious solution that the non-compete is automatically null and void if the employee is let go for any reason.

But could you imagine a future where you didn't need to bother with all that logistics? What if school, soccer practice and work were all in walkable or bikeable distance, for instance?

I am open to piracy when there is like 10 different streaming services offering exclusive movies. Sure, I can afford having one or two subscriptions but I can't have 10 different subscriptions.

Piracy have also become incredibly easy for everyone, popcorn time, fmovies & webtorrent have made it extremely user friendly, almost to the point that the user is unaware of the fact that they are pirating a movie.

I do have one rule though, if there is a book or movie etc I REALLY enjoy, then I buy it just to support the creator.
Wow, that's a big deal. While NCCs I've signed have generally looked fair, I've seen a few lives destroyed by them. When somebody has expertise in a career in a certain field, and leaves a company, they shouldn't be punished for continuing on with their expertise in another company, even their own. This is called competition. It shouldn't be stifled. Stealing trade secrets is one thing, but competing in a field should be regulated by companies that don't wanna compete.

They can only apply them to those caught, and that's the problem here. Only a very small percentage of those violating the sanctions are actually caught at all in the first place.
BlockFi is one of them. They believed they were holding the Robinhood shares as collateral pledged for a large loan to Alameda Research. But when they went to liquidate the shares after the loan defaulted, the broker did not allow them to do so, as FTX/Alameda had just filed for bankruptcy and I believe the estate argued against it.

The migration tracker is nice. Highly recommended approach for any migration project, incl. data migrations.

Yes, definitely, they are trialing this in Arnhem, I'll go have a look at it to see how it is all put together. By the looks of it they take a 'normal' trolley bus, remove diesel engine + tank + associated bits and pieces then put a battery in the spot where the tank used to be, and a bunch of electronics (regulator/inverter/charger) to create a voltage high enough to run the normal bus hardware of and to recharge the battery when the bus is connected to the overhead grid.
