Right, either way, I'm looking for an intuition about how much an infraction like this should cost. Presumably, the settlement also includes the LDS church's consent to start filing reliable 13F's.

I'm not saying I think 5MM is the right number; I'm just saying I have no intuition for what the number should be, and the rationale I see on the thread seems to be "they're big". If I get pulled over in a Bentley with an expired sticker, I pay the same price as someone in a Kia.
If I'd kept every AAPL share I ever purchased I'd be retired now. But no friends or financial advisers would ever let me keep 100% of my investments in a single security.

As an adult you have to stop playing what if all the time with your past or you'll get paralyzed about every decision you're making now. Or sink into a depression that shortens your life expectancy. But thoughts about perfect trade execution aren't just childish, they're pure fiction.

If you did things over you still wouldn't be a billionaire. Stop picking at that scab and go do something life affirming.
It is neither respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof, to require that they pay taxes to support the society which allows them, as of now absurdly for free, to function and exist in the very first place.

I see you got the actual point you really wanted to make right at the end, however poorly.
I resort to comments like that when I don't have another way of contacting the user. If it happens in a Show HN thread, it's probably that I want to ask if they've considered applying to YC with the project. People often underestimate what YC might be interested in. Open-source startups are a big part of what gets funded these days. I particularly love it when startups make it in to YC through HN—it's great for both YC and HN, and if a big success ever came out of it, it would easily fund HN for another century :)

If I post a please-email-me outside of a Show HN thread, it might be anything! but the most common reason is that I want to send them a repost invite for some cool article they posted long ago. Invited reposts make it into the second-chance pool (see https://news.ycombinator.com/pool and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308).
Thanks! Anything we can do better?
Can you support with evidence the idea that Ensign Peak is just going to blow off the fine and pay 5MM every few years instead of filing 13Fs? Because if they start reliably filing 13Fs, they've refuted this argument.

If there's a distinctive harm that we can draw out from the LDS Church failure to file 13Fs, I'm all ears about scaling up the penalties accordingly. But otherwise, the logic we're using applies to literally any offense Ensign Peak could have committed, no matter how marginal. I guess I'd like to start by working out whether this particular offense was marginal, or material.
interesting, he was 31 at the time, bitcoin did not get outlawed by the US government and he got to sell shares of his new company after a direct listing at a $100bn valuation for a little while hm.

Yeah, you do hit on a point here. There are types of business that don't benefit from the same kind of locality that a brick-and-mortar business has, and in those cases, it may be really difficult to become a known entity in a space.

I'll admit to being a little overzealous in my frustration with the advertising industry - this is because of the absolute bombardment we experience (and something that, I would think, folks like yourself would prefer to combat - as it reduces the efficacy of good advertising). Here, I mean things like relentless coupon mailers, blanket campaigns like those run by fast food chains and insurance agencies (where it becomes impossible to avoid their brand). That kinda stuff.

As for word of mouth being unavailable - well, I think we might have different ideas about the proper 'velocity' of a product. I think we move too fast in general, and it opens up a whole slew of externalities. Not in every case, but in most.

I'm not against ALL advertising, but I think we've gotten to a point where controls need to be put in place. Not just to protect delicate, wilting flowers like myself from the cesspit of aggressive marketing that is the norm, but also to protect the integrity of 'good' advertising - it's gotten to the point where I use advertising as a metric of bad business, and accept that I'm losing the marginal benefit of being informed about stuff like you're talking about in the name of not spending an inordinate amount of time trying to separate the wheat from the chaff.

It's actually a lot less work to do the research I do, because it's focused, and it would be a ton of work to:

- buy a thing because it was advertised a bunch

- realize I made a bad bet and now own a piece of crap

- NOW do the research

- deal with getting rid of the junk

- buy that thing twice

Separating signal from noise is going to be interesting here. Startups founded by friends, former co-workers or network all fail. Exiting isn't guaranteed, nor is product market fit or any amount of success. Most startups fail.

Yes it will be cool when we can see stats like "co-founder matching has created X startups, and you're Y% more likely to succeed." Those stats take time to reach significance. For now, it's OK for it to ride on vision + early indicators like "# of startups founded".
A church where I grew up has a large endowment from a previous family in the area. If they didn't invest their money, the endowment wouldn't last. Just an example. Not to say I'm in favor of church's non profit status or this particular point, but inflation could hurt for them if investing weren't allowed
No shame, in fact I think this reflects on a more important part of society: on how you just can't get away from it. The toilet is the most commonly available, most socially acceptable way to just have some minutes to yourself.
I see we’re doing this again. I last worked on whole-DC designs around 1999 with Sun, Intel, and of course… Mellanox since we were to use RDMA/InfiniBand. The plan was to embed InfiniBand semiconductors on disks, RAM (individual sticks or trays of sticks) and CPUs. There was to be an orchestration/provisioning layer allowing you to reserve a composable machine (CPU(s), RAM, storage, other IO, etc) at will, and some kind of supervisory layer was to ensure that these things were as local as possible to one-another in any given rack, aisle, floor.

To be clear, Bazel focuses on correctness because it's essential to acheiving performance at scale.

If you don't have correct caching of intermediate build artifacts, a system can't handle the compile and test requirements of large codebases.
A recession would likely revert that as businesses go back to wanting to shed costs.

IMHO, if you're targeting the Javascript ecosystem, this area is already fairly crowded, with Turborepo, Nx and various open source tools providing various degrees of functionality (Bazel, Pants, Lerna, etc) already competing in the space.

I'm a tech lead for the web monorepo at Uber. We talked to the Turborepo guy a few years ago, and he admitted that he wasn't sure if it could handle our scale in terms of all the bells and whistles that a repo of our size leverages - and his is one of the more feature packed commercial offerings in this space.

As a random example: we see thousands of commits a week, so invalidating the whole build graph when the lockfile changes is a complete non-starter, yet most turn-key solutions target small teams and are not equipped to cope with this problem. Phantom dependencies[0] are a problem with disjointed build graphs. Etc.

As someone who's evaluated a ton of these systems, I would love to see where your experience in this space is coming from. A new kid in the block will have a lot to prove.

Hit the nail on the head on how I’m feeling. SO many people here commenting on how their body and mind operate as if it’s a universal experience that applies to all humans, and that others are lazy if they don’t operate in the same way.
One of the findings from researchers in the book Altered Traits is that largest (positive) cerebral changes were associated with time spent at intensive retreats. This is also very much a part of Zen practice (etc) so presumably practitioners have found some additional value in intensives over the years.

I wanted to like the x220s I found and then upgraded (well only the best one). I think the keyboard is great. I stuck an IPS screen into it (no nitrocaster).

The good one ended up having the power port die on me and while struggling to pull the thing a part to get to it (of course it is possible, but it's tested my patience :) ) the top case basically crumbled apart. I swapped the good parts to the other one, but it sits idle now. I just don't feel like I can be productive with a small 768 screen. I can't avoid the fact 1080 is my minimum.

I think my T430s is really good (with 1080 adapter and the keyboard is fantastic), but it can end up having the same issues with the top case with small cracks in the top case.

The TP I was able to keep from my last job has none of the problems. It is a T470p. Maybe there was some effort into material quality over the years, but it survived a really hard fall with some minor damage on the top and bottom case. It also is much easier to service :) It's the 470 that's the better overall one I have had, with the 430 being the one with the better keyboard.

I love to fish, especially in tournaments. That means getting up at 3am to drive to the lake to blast off at sunrise. I do not like to wake up early, and do not do well anxiety wise the night before I have to wake up early for something. I tend not to sleep very well.

But damn do those days feel great.

I don't really notice til 3-4pm, then my brain basically shuts off.

Otherwise, I am trying to find the 'productivity sweet spot' for me these days. I have found, for me, it ramps throughout the day until I hit the zone, around 3-4pm. I can stay here until 9-10pm easily, if I can avoid the outside distractions of life.

The rest of the day I can learn pretty well. I spend most of my waking time reading and absorbing information. I don't feel inhibited from doing so really any time.

My startup computes everything locally. We use our own hardware.

If we'll ever get to the point where we need serious dynamic scaling, sure, we'll use cloud-tooling. But for now, cloud-compute has zero alignment with our vision and strategy. AWS is powerful and surely has its place, but "run it on Bezos' hardware" doesn't exactly spark confidence in "open" or "democratized" AI progress.

One thing I love about Huggingface is that I can simply download a model and do stuff with it. Iirc, I couldn't download some models and was instead incentivized to use Sage Maker (maybe only for finetuning? I don't recall exactly) recently.

I deeply hope that this partnership doesn't become a "to use models hosted by huggingface, you must use AWS". The fact that this announcement reeks of business speak ("Together, the two leaders aim to accelerate [...]") leaves a bad feeling in my mouth.
>Oh you definitely don't in theory. But you totally do in practice. There's no good reason, it's just the actual experience many people have.

What are you referring to here?

That's like saying it's low value tedium to set folder view in finder to compact. Or trying out Rectangle or one of the auto-tilers, enable night shift.. They're preferences and I don't see how the experience would differ from one OS to another.
Maybe you like the way everything works out of the box on OSX. That's cool. I don't. I don't really like how any OS (or wm or compositor) works out of the box.

Let me give them feedback in the vein of what you're asking for. I want the following as a user:

- Distributed cache of built artifacts. Work with my company's network topology and security requirements. Make this easy to setup, operate, and seamless for developers to opt into

- Seamless monorepo support (multiple languages)

That could be considered Bazel-lite. And yes, I'd take it over Bazel currently.

If you don't work at Google, convincing your engineering organization into learning Bazel is almost always a non-starter. Who uses Bazel in the wild? Xooglers primarily.

Their value proposition is sound.

> I am talking about the need to feel whole, Desire itself. The idea that some moments can make you feel like life is beautiful, moments where you feel you can die right then and it would all be worth it.

That feeling comes from dopamine. If you actually believe that feeling is better than actually living to experience that feeling again in the future, a heroin dealer will be more than happy to help you out.

> but you simply think that humans should change fundamentally.

Only in that they should be more rational. I don't think that is an onerous request. Many people already try to be.

WiFi and took so long to declare it unrepairable

Didn't they use socketed WiFi cards? On every non hair thin laptop I could crack open, I always found the WiFi card to be mounted on a MiniPCI or newer socket, so unless that problem was due to the mainboard, it was just a matter of replacing the WiFi card and install the relevant driver.

Also, if you know how to solder and have a really thin laptop with one available internal USB port, you can fit a small module such as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225197524670
Complete it with a small pcb antenna and you have a new WiFi card. Very useful also for small SBCs which beside the usual USB sockets usually have internal USB ports pins.
How do you deploy your applications onto your EC2 instances? Do you create application-specific AMIs, use something like Ansible, something Windows-specific like WinRM, run your own container setup on EC2, or something else?
I'm supremely disappointed to see another service using YAML to configure task running. I do in fact need a real programming language to do this, and copying others in this vein is inheriting mistakes and not picking a battle-tested solution.

What you will find is the vast majority of your configurations will invoke a make.sh script that does everything that you want to support in your system.

If you ever need to reinstall there are ways to disable those checks entirely and run Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. No guarantees in terms of stability or security (who knows, Microsoft may just assume that certain modern instruction sets are available), but it's not entirely impossible.

I've fought Windows enough that I'm not going to upgrade to an OS Microsoft tells me won't run stable on my hardware, but plenty of others have tried and succeeded in ignoring the limitations without a hitch… for now, at least.

Granted to make windows usable I had to install tons of tools, but the same is true for the Mac!
That's not what the SEC alleged.

The SEC alleged that with the direction of the LDS leadership (i.e. "with the Church’s knowledge and approval"), Ensign Peak shell-companied the Church's funds.

Best-case scenario is that this was an attempt to hide information for the simple sake of hiding information (as nonprofits, churches are pretty heavily scrutinized relative to other institutions). Worse case, it was an attempt to hide the use of the money for political ends, which is a violation of the tax-exempt agreement of the church. And it's not a small amount of money.

This behavior is every bit as sus as any major non-profit with tens of billions of dollars under its control trying to intentionally dodge public scrutiny.
Providing tax exempt status to only churches you have "proven" to be churches should be seen as legislating religion. The only ACTUAL fair way to handle it is allow any organization to vie for charity style tax exempt status, with a high bar of charity required to succeed, and churches are otherwise no more an organization than your company's softball team.

Alternatively, nobody gets ANY tax exempt status, and we should stop using tax deductions as subsidies, because they are only really available to those with ample money to play with and can afford more experienced tax professionals
Most databases store the latest state of something.
We don't. We ingest events.
After all, life is a function of time :-)
The whole world ticks and we take those ticks and store them.
If part of your application tracks anything happening over time (trades, ocean pollution levels, ships moving, rocket simulation metrics.. or whatever else then it makes sense to store those events in a time series database.
What we provide, primarily, is two basic pieces of functionality:
(1) Taking in lots of events FAST. Our ingestion rate is high (and we also integrate with things like Kafka, Pandas -- see the notebook, etc). Each of our time series tables (we support regular ones too) comes with a special timestamp column.
(2) Specialized SQL to make sense of data that's changed over time, such as grouping and resampling by time and more. Take a look at our docs for things like SAMPLE BY, LATEST ON, ASOF JOIN, LT JOIN and more. On disk, we also guarantee that all records are sorted by time and this gives us great query performance for these time-based types of queries.

PS. We're also wire-compatible with PostgreSQL.

(an American) - our tax code encourages behavior society deems virtuous. We "want" people to give money to homeless shelters, outreach programs, overseas disaster relief, etc - so we "push" then to do that by making it relatively less expensive.

I can easily argue that citizenry being directly involved in directing their funds to causes that matter is more democratic than the government doing that on their behalf.
> What it inevitably leads to is denial, coverup, unwillingness to innovate

... and finally adoption of the required methods and reaching required standards, like countless cases of successful regulation since times immemorial.

How do you give companies a positive incentive to fix an issue if the issue does not cost them money? Fixing such an issue is a competitive disadvantage.

> The better way is for no-fault, encouraging disclosure and openness about bugs, and collaboration in fixing them.

What does that look like? Paying companies per disclosed bug in their software? State sponored white-hat hacker teams that find and fix the companies' bugs for them without disclosure? I can't think of anything that sounds realistic.
We're All Gonna Die with Eliezer Yudkowsky
C++ has been doing a new version every 3 years: 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, now 26. It's a good amount of time to get people on board, implement features in major compilers, experiment with them and do some feedback cycles before finalization. I greatly prefer this to Python's rolling releases where the compatibility window is constantly shifting.

And rust isn't going to replace C++. Languages don't really die on a timescale that matters to the people working on the C++ spec. By the time C++ is truly dead, rust will be soon to follow.

The risk to self for people that have children is certainly so high from the kids that wearing a mask in public doesn't really shift it one way or the other. But the other side of this coin is that if the parents don't wear masks in public spaces their risk to others is actually higher than a random person without kids because their children are so likely to get them infected.

So I understand the reasoning. But it's selfish and incomparably more rude than I am being. And it doesn't have any releavance to weather masks (and hand hygine) work or not.
