I agree, I remember in the LBJ books he spent hundreds of pages talking about Richard Russell, Coke Stevenson, and Sam Rayburn -- As I was reading, I was thinking "Why is he writing a biography within a biography on these people?". Once you get to the end, it all makes sense.

My 10 Favorite Books of 2022
History of financial fraud, from 13th century to 21th century. (french)

The early signs of a company difficulties and financial fraud. (french)

Financial fraud handbook. (Joseph T. Wells)

You see the pattern.

Why ? I don't know. I'm kind of fascinated by that. The first time I had any interest of stock market related things was for "The smartest guys in the room" (Enron scandal) long before I read anything about stock markets itself.

I just recently said to someone : "I don't understand why someone would engage in a Ponzi scheme when it's mathematicaly a sure thing, in a finite world with a finite money supply, the scheme will collapse and he will get caught". He responded : "Because he hopes he will get away with it"...

His response of course adds up to my curiosity, because my question states first he can't mathematicaly get away with it. There is definitively a logic of thinking I don't get. But I'm kind of dumb when it's about people.

That being said both my parents had a kind of personnal take about reality and truthfulness... Differences betweens what people say or write about financial matters and financial reality tend to disappear within a relatively short period of time, as reality always catches up in that case.

This explains maybe that.
Where do you maintain the business logic? And how does an RCS or some version management work with this?

It sounds simple. And I like simple. But superficially looking at it, it sounds too simple.
What do they even expect to get out of this? It's mind boggling
>Until we figure out how to treat people as intrinsically worthwhile and not not punish them for being made redundant by automation, it will always be a catastrophe for everyone targeted.

Doesn't that beg the question if a person is intrinsically worthwhile?

From where I sit, a person's worth is usually measured by others first and foremost, specifically by what they provide for them. Either in the rational economic (providing a good or service) or the irrational emotional value (enjoyment of their presence). I can't honestly say that someone is going to always be able to provide the latter value.

I'm someone that inherently can't provide any emotional value to someone else, being how much of an incel I resemble (I'm unable be a friend to anyone, and I'm not fond of my family). Thus my only worth to others is what economic value that I can provide, and my... issues will be tolerated for that. Take away that my economic capability, then what good is someone like me then?

It's probably just my long winded way of saying... at least to me, figuring out how to treat people as intrinsically worthwhile won't happen unless people believe other people are intrinsically worthwhile. And I don't foresee that ever happening.
Ha, interesting, the scroll stopping is pretty much my only complaint, too. I suppose I've gotten used to it by briefly counter-scrolling at the end, but it'd be great not to have to do that.
People similarly argue that stocks are a pyramid scheme but that doesn't stop them from existing.
Obfuscation instructions were never issued to the test team by senior manager lol
Just because it has "open" in the name doesn't mean much. It could only mean they want to "open the door" to unlocking AI.

It's just a business name, and arguably a misleading one.
I'm sincerely sorry that my comment on a totally unrelated topic has led to such comments; if I had known that someone would bring up a supposed similarity with LGBTQ struggles I would have completely refrained from commenting. I guess deleting the original comment now doesn't make sense either.
I've always said ploh-ver (rhymes with clover), but that comes not from any birding experience, but from drinking Andytown's Snowy Plovers[1]. I believe the staff there has always said ploh-ver as well, but it's been a while and I could be mistaken.

Seems like jury is out amongst birders[2]

But cloud computing did basically eliminate the sysadmin role. They were forced to learn tons of new skills to become "site reliability engineers" instead.
> Both the lender and the borrower know what they are doing better than outside commenters who have never spent any time studying "going private" financing

It's pretty clear the borrower didn't know what they're doing when they made this deal. The borrower even tried to get the deal canceled (or maybe just renegotiate) by going through the court, and failed.

The lenders moved forward because they know the borrower is good for it. And the borrower can afford to lose even more billions and still function. The borrower can afford to make mistakes of this size.

I think you're confusing "this has been allowed to continue" with "all parties know what they're doing".
Oh that's a fascinating setup! Thanks for posting.
Vendor agreements force fixed prices
Why are you bringing them onboard as a co-founder and not employee? I don’t know what’s your arrangement with them for salary, if possible - get them started as an employee, once they have proved their mettle, then you can promote them to co-founder. If you are able to see traction then depending upon how much funds your company has at that time - either you can take out your investment or get equivalent in equity. Hope it helps.
It's a gorgeous piece of art and I am truly surprised that even the faithful would see this as blasphemous. Islamic art is really underappreciated in the west.

The differentiating factor here --- this who say sex can be visually determined at birth can be easily proven wrong --- both medically/genetically and visually.

This point would be better without such extreme hyperbole. Google search was an improvement but it’s not like using AltaVista was that bad - many of the advanced search operators you mentioned got started there.

Crashes were also far less common than you’re describing - that got worse in the 2000s when Flash became ubiquitous.
Well, `mix release` (https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Release.html) exists to address this very issue.

It still has limitations (the biggest one is the requirement for the os&architecture to match between the builder and the deployment target) — but the result is a standalone binary which not only embeds the VM and preloads the app's bytecode, but even "trims" the stdlib to only ship the required functions.
Depends what you’re building and where I guess. I didn’t get a pay cut moving from BE distributed services to embedded.
Copy your dotfiles?
Uber, for all the hate it receives, is significantly better than taxi service.

AirBNB, by the same argument, put offline-only vacation rental services on check.

Neither of these is models is going to go away now. The companies may have to deal with debt, may need to increase unit costs, and may have to conduct layoffs, but they fundamentally changed their markets and will remain the dominant players.
In which case, huge applause to the project :)

"I’d be curious if it were actually possible to buy a whole floor of mini apartments and turn them into offices instead."

Someone should try that - instead of offices, give people small, offices/bachelor apartments with small kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping quarters.

Have them work for 4 days where they are totally tuned in and productive with their team, and then give them 3 days off, where they can go home to their family and completely forget about work.

Sort of like the oil rig model, but for tech workers.

Wouldn't have to live in high COL areas, and have only one commute per week.

This is probably a horrible idea, but then again, the standard workweek that most in office workers adhere to right now isn't super stellar or efficient either...
How do security cameras, dash cams etc get used?
I’d call it an assumption, not so much a flaw. :) We can make other assumptions.

To break even, Google would at least need to cover their expenses. Google had $200B in expenses for 2022, with a net profit of $50B. So, that won’t really change the math.

Especially when we consider the fact that the take-rate would be much less than 100%. Maybe 5-10% is a fair take-rate assumption? (Seems fair since YouTube has roughly 50M paid subscribers on 1B MAUs, 5%, from the public data I’m seeing.)

At 5-10% take-rate, the service would cost 10-20x more to break even ($50-$100/month on average) which would be a nonstarter for the global middle class and lower.

One could make the argument then for Google to lower its costs in an effort to lower the consumer’s price, but then we must realize this runs opposite of innovation. Investment is necessary for innovation, and profits are necessary for investment. Without profits, there’s no more innovation.

I often use Sublime Merge to reword commits (edit commit message, even other branches, the entire log is visible), or to split up commits (it undoes the commit and you get everything in the working directory), so I’m not sure if his comparison table is entirely correct. (At least from a user point of view I can easily edit or reword).

One other nice feature of Sublime Merge is the squashing of two commits, ignoring the latters message (as a fixup). Not sure how to do that in one click or command with cli git…
You can buy external Apple touchpads. Not sure how they behave under windows though.

Let me rephrase it: they were not given a choice of committing something or not, so we don't know what they would choose if they were. I'm not saying they would (I see now that my comment can be read as if I did), I'm just saying that not having this choice is not a virtue.

It's like if someone said the Elon Musk is bad because he invested X amount of money into Y, and I'm better because I didn't (suppose I'm broke and I spend my days in a basement playing games). The "I'm better part" is flawed because we don't know what I would do if I was given his choice.
QA is non-linear when discretised, so no, no one is "replacing" anything. There is no "digital physics", it's a PR term of a hype industry, not the title of any, eg., textbook on area of physics.

Physics is not computable to arbitrary precision, both chaos and qm require physics to use non-computable numbers.

Goldmine. We could profile and fingerprint users strictly based on touchpad usage and sell it. Would you pay $5/mo for it?
Why don’t you just use a different distribution mechanism that prioritizes existing customers? Real buyers can’t beat the scalpers anyway. There is no bot protection that works. Even if it did scalpers can checkout faster and make more attempts than your regular users using manual methods.

Can you reword/split commits without having them checked out, or without touching the working directory? That’s what these criteria are about, and from your description, it doesn’t sound like you can do those directly in Sublime Merge.
Agree, although personally I object to security cameras, too, the ones that are just surveilling the public sidewalk because who knows...
Some of the crypto platforms are scam[1], but no one seriously claims Aave Or Compound, the defi borrowing platforms you can do this with, are scams. There is, of course, always the risk of unforeseen bugs that prevent withdrawls, or crashes that happen so fast the collateral can't be liquidated in time. But that's different from saying that Aave or Compound are themselves "confidence games" that can't be expected to pay you back when you're right.

I know for my part, I made non-trivial money on Compound shorting MKR, LINK, and UNI (the Uniswap token) with BTC/ETH as collateral.

[1] Whether you replace "scam" with "confidence game" is irrelevant to this point.

That they are self-modifying is the entire point. You can't just sweep that under the rug. This is what you said:

Undeniably it's not going to be as convenient, but the divide isn't what it used to be. BEAM apps can be compiled to a binary, and as long as that binary was compiled for the platform, that should be good enough.

I'm doubtful I'll see it used much outside the BEAM community, but then again it's been a "successful despite a lack of mass usage" community for awhile.
AI image modification is already a thing. If the AI can generate the image then surely it can make updates to it.

I was under the impression that while "cookie walls" (Accept or get out) were not allowed, providing a paywall with a choice between "ads/tracking" and "payment" was already permissible* under GDPR. Is this not the case?

According to https://www.iubenda.com/en/help/24487-cookie-walls-gdpr

> As regards paywalls, the Garante published a press release to inform that it’s analyzing this solution as implemented by some Italian publishers.

> The Austrian and French DPAs have already indicated that the paywall system is a valid solution as long as the subscription to the site has a modest and fair cost so that it does not constrain the user’s free choice.

> As it stands, the decision of whether paywalls can be compliant or not is still somewhat of a grey area. We will have to wait for a uniform approach from the DPAs to better assess the compliance of these mechanisms.

I have mixed feelings about this. There is some validity to providing an alternative method of funding the website, but at the same time it will most likely maintain the status quo as the vast majority of people are conditioned to accessing online content for free.

Making my first 2d game using some ai art from midjourney. It's like having an assistant that works for me. But I still have to tell it what I want and fix mistakes and do the animations. Using midjourney and chat.open.ai to help. In my case it hasn't killed jobs as I would not have a budget to hire anyone anyway. However I'm able to fulfill my vision for the game, just getting ai help the low level stuff. So it's making things easier and I can make something better with my time. And I think ai will boost productivity while reducing time and effort. So a huge boost, in bring up people with low skills to make something useful.

DeepTech VC, a newsletter about all-things deep technology
Introducing DeepTech VC (DTVC), a weekly publication dedicated to sharing information related to deep technology investments, deals, headlines, reports, and much more. Deep technology is where engineering meets scientific discoveries; where sci-fi turns into sci-fact as Josh Wolfe and Lux Capital would state.

Though there are numerous platforms providing coverage on sectors such as consumer, SaaS, climate (I'd recommend checking out Climate Tech VC), etc., there wasn’t a centralized source for all-things deep technology.

DTVC aims to fill this void for the wider online community. Sounds interesting? Subscribe for free and follow the LinkedIn page for regular updates.

I have not read the book.

> However, C is not C++ and is not intended for providing all OOP features like inheritance.

There are parts of the ISO C standard specifically included to allow for inheritance. Consider:

typedef struct{
int x;
}struct_a;

typedef struct{
struct_a inherited;
int y;
}struct_b;

void function(struct_a *s)
{
s->x = 0;
}

Here struct_b inharates struct_a. You can call the function with either a pointer to struct_a or struct_b (either by casing or void pointer), because the standard specifically states that there can be no padding before the first member of a structure, so that the first member of a structure should have the same pointer as the structure itself. This part of the spec was written with the use case of inheritance in mind. (there is some people who don't read the spec that way, but this is the intention)

Sorry for being nitpicky... but that's pretty much what we do in the wg14....

By civil law only. A criminal act it is not. That means unless the person takes it into their own hands to sue, nothing will happen. Still, you take on quite a legal risk if you publish footage that shows strangers, because you’ll never know when they will turn up and sue you for damages. It could happen 10 years down the line, and the amount of damages they can claim will be even higher the longer the footage has been published.
I don't know about "very easily," and chances are I don't want to deal with RAW or ProRAW or whatever. I'm fine with plain old .JPG most of the time.

If I can't turn that off, then the OEM camera app is simply broken. Telling me to spend money on a third-party app is just carrying water for two corporations that aren't paying you. Don't do that, at least not for free.

Since 2018, Linux Touchpad landscape has changed drastically. I remember how bad the situation was before 2018, no gestures, no accurate precision, pretty inferior.

After Touchegg came, everything kinda changed. Gnome and KDE introduced native gestures and it has boosted the adoption of Linux on laptops.

I hope we also get zoom capabilities in Chromium and Firefox and smooth scroll capabilities. Other than that, I do not miss anything from Windows or MacOS, it's all great!

PS: I have Touchegg config files readily available for better gestures on Linux:
