You have been downvoted, but I also wonder a bit what the real story (or debate) is here.

Some jobs will pay the lowest wage... that it is these jobs? I actually would rate and expect these jobs pay lower than the typical lowest pay jobs which require physical labor like the typical low pay jobs in fast food, or building cleaning?

Or the specific amount given current circumstances? True.. on the other hand still well above the minimum wage by law in most European countries.. maybe not comparable well, but still not much out of range.

That rich companies pay low wages? Yeah, absurd and unfair, but that unfortunately never hold a rich company back where it could just pay that (I'd like different regulation here).

So the problem is really independent of these specific jobs or companies? And the answer to this is better regulation and worker protection laws, that many frown upon?
Gad! I have spent all morning trying to --- password protect a static html page. How in the hell does HN have a story about the exact topic I've been struggling with appear just a dozen or so hours after I started working on it. Wow.

I was _extremely_ happy to see this posted.

However when I click the link I am taken to the library I had initially tried and had to reject. Without getting into the crypto side of things (which very well may resolve to "just make it tough enough for most folks") I crashed and burned using this tool once my page reached certain sizes. (I was cramming everything I needed into one page and I had a big hunk of bytes that I didn't want hanging out on the filesystem)

As I understand it, this is a known issue in V8. V8 limits the number of properties/collection members an object can have. There's a flag you can use with node to get a little more headspace, I believe it's something like "--max-old-space-size=8192" but it's a V8 problem, not a node problem. The staticrypt coders could also switch to a streaming cryptography instead of block, but that's far too much to ask of the casual user who only wants to lock up a page or two.

This is a really cool tool, and I wished I could have used it. Good luck to the team going forward. I've gotta find something else as this doesn't work for me.
MIDI is a protocol for interacting with music gear. synthesizers, electric pianos, effects etc.

Looks that way to me at least.
To have a debate about this we really need to add some precision to some of your terms. When you talk about "complete liquidation of assets" there's sort of two things that come to mind, and I'm not 100% sure what you mean.

Option one is what I would call a reorganization: the rights of equity holders are terminated, and creditors (which would include beneficiaries of civil judgements) get some fraction of what they are owed, through a combination of keeping some portion of their existing claims, receiving cash received from selling new stock, and receiving some amount of new stock. Crucially, the business keeps operating when this happens, it's really just reorganizing the capital structure, not doing much to actual business operations.

Option two is a true liquidation: the business stops operating, all of its assets are sold, and the proceeds distributed to creditors and then the corporate entity simply ceases to exist.

The original debate about the "corporate death penalty" arose from how Arthur Anderson was treated in the wake of the Enron scandal. In that case, AA was criminally indicted. A criminal conviction is a huge problem for a public accounting firm, because convicted felons can't be CPAs or audit public companies. Indeed, it was ultimately convicted and barred by the SEC from auditing public companies. But it actually collapsed far before that, basically immediately after the indictment, as all of its clients saw the writing on the wall and dropped them. This was an option 2 liquidation.

Personally, I would only consider an option 2 liquidation the "corporate death penalty". In the case of your friend in the railroad business, it's probably not the socially optimal outcome because you would actually get more money for the victims through an option 1 reorganization than option 2 liquidation. In general that's why option 2 should be sparingly applied: it reduces the resources available to compensate victims, and inflicts collateral damage on employees, vendors, and customers who mostly didn't do anything wrong.

In addition to option 1 and option 2, some people also consider simply indicting a corporation as the "corporate death penalty" because of how in the case of Arthur Anderson, the criminal indictment did pretty much immediately cause option 2. I think that that position is not really consistent with the facts, however. There are at least 54 publicly traded companies that received criminal convictions between 2001 and 2010; 37 of them were still around in 2013, only 5 failed, and of the 5 it doesn't really seem like the conviction had much to do with their demise[0].

For most purposes, the difference is pretty nuanced and unlikely to cause a problem in real life.

> 'command -v' also returns 0 for shell built-ins, whereas 'which' only searches $PATH.

In what cases is one using anything to check for a built-in shell command? I've written quite a lot of bash, and this has never come up.

I've learned to prefer 'command -v' because it's always available, whereas on minimal or busybox installs sometimes 'which' is not included.

The annoying part seems to be more that the ergonomics of a single straightforwardly-named command (e.g. 'which') are friendlier and easier to remember compared to an unintuitively-named command requiring the addition of a flag.

Why can't we move in a more ergonomic direction by promoting 'which' to a BASH built-in?
This is so impressive. Reminds me of when I (a copywriter) would sit next to a great designer, saying "try this" and "what about that" and watching my nebulous feelings about the thing turn into reality.

Apple are paid $15 billion annually by Google for the Safari default. That's around 10-15% of their profit for doing nothing other than setting a default.
Hence “some part of a value.”

Such as weight=plane+fuel+people+luggage. If one of the variables became 0 you’d still have the other 3.

It was a low enough value to have made multiple pilots question its value that day, like fuel or passenger load was missing completely.

> To give some perspective, nowadays all PhD students generally take something called “Responsible Conduct of Research”.

Unfortunately, I think that these sorts of classes mainly serve as either CYA or to check a box for a funder.

Most of the folks who do unethical stuff (in general) either think that what they are specifically doing is not unethical, or they just don’t care (“playing the game” is something I’ve heard quite a bit).

In certain fields, especially if you include anything that’s in a gray area of ethics, unethical behavior is more the norm than the exception.

Great question! I'm still experimenting with how responsive layouts should work, but so far: small/simple components like "Button" aren't responsive, while more complex components like "Hero" have responsiveness built-in.

At the css level, "top-level" components are absolute positioned, but nested components are layed out with flexbox.

There's no way to bring your own React component library yet, but once that's possible, you can always make things responsive in the library itself too.
Apple, Steam, Google et al. charge 30% on *digital* goods. With Amazon you get <50% for physical goods. If anything that's impressive.
> Plus, why should "GUI" get a pronunciation but "CLI" be neglected?

It's probably because the person who made the acronym or initialism had wanted it to be pronounced a certain way and chose a sequence of letters to achieve the desired result. Of course, the speakers of the letter-group will later decide when and how they will pronounce it!

Acronym: a word formed from the initial letters
or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or
series of words and pronounced as a separate word [1]

Initialism: a set of initials representing a name,
organization, or the like, with each letter
pronounced separately [2]

Preventing the fraud described in your edit is what I'm asking about. I'm wondering if anyone has set up lists to help avoid surprise prices for sending messages via SMS service APIs, not from texting someone from a phone.
Yeah, but a single person with no kids making $500k in NYC or SF can save $150k+ per year even after all expenses. Then, instead of spending 8-10 years paying off that $240k house in the midwest, they can just buy it for cash and have plenty left over.
Am I going to get flagged for pointing out what sort of horrible images need to be "annotated"? Actual terrorist material - beheadings and the like. Actual CSAM. Street violence like Tyre Nichols. Poring over images like that for hours at a time teaching a machine about all the horrors of what people are capable of is supposed to be "better than school"? What a twisted idea.

As a person helping my mother from far ahead I understand why.

The hard part is not using the card. It's setting it up: set up the bank application on mobile phone, setting up second factor, looking at notifications when they disappear after a few seconds (older people have slower reflexes).

All the flat UI means that my mother can't tell me the difference between a button and a text.

There's no button to see notifications, she has to use swiping, which is again much harder for older people, as all the timings were optimized for young people with young people reflexes.

Without all this how does she know how much money she has? (with cash she can just count it).

On the other hand, there are those who are too stubborn to use anything but a dull knife and a broken hammer. There are situations where you can, e.g., make an error state impossible by defining a couple of types, or using one or two lines of generics. But then, what should have been a simple change becomes an ordeal because the other person lacks the background on all of these ideas.

I think all CS curricula should have some sort of class that explores languages like Haskell and Rust, the problems they attempt to solve and how they go about solving them, if only for the intellectual experience. What language you end up using, and what ideas you end up applying, is then up to you on a case-by-case basis.

Did they remove all the bits about all the little kids being eaten and only their bones being left, which is a major element of The BFG?

Or the plot of Esio Trot which is a guy tricking his downstairs neighbor into falling in love with him by swapping out her pet every few weeks with a larger one?

Or the whole plot of George’s Marvelous Medicine which is a boy who mixes up a potion with everything he can find in his house, and feeds it to his nasty grandmother?

He’s got a whole lot of crazy stuff, and I can only speak of things I’ve read to my kids recently.
Technically, this is true, but most C++ programmers are very reluctant to use macros except for stuff like include guards or stuff like NDEBUG.

The reason is mainly the many language construct of C++ cover most traditional use cases of macros when programming C while at the same time being much less error prone than macros.

A sibling show how one easily can achieve the very same thing using short lambdas instead. That variant is also bound to the scope one is currently in, and in order to have that safety with a macro one would need to undefine the macros afterwards. One would also need to check that they are not yet defined beforehand, and if so restore the previous macro afterwards in order to not break completely unrelated code in case of macro name clashes.
I don’t think this comment was about capital and labor, but instead between capital and management. Maybe there is a better phrase. Finance capital and business?

The idea is that capital has had very little control the operations of business over the past 10 years, due to low interest rates. This leads to businesses that don’t make money continuing to grow, and bubble conditions, is more or less the idea. I’ve also seen this idea of the Millennial Lifestyle Subsidy also being related to interest rates.
It only takes a little bit of introspection (and perhaps reading a few case studies) to realize that the thing that is you is not the same as the thing that generates thoughts and uses/is made of language.

What's even the point of disabling Manifest v2 in Firefox? Is there something wrong with it or that significantly different that Firefox can't support aspects of both v2 and v3? Having just made a Manifest v3 extension for Chrome, I don't really see how it's so wildly different that Firefox would have to do that much to support it. What am I missing?

The world of software sure is good at "fixing" things that aren't broke.

Also, this article doesn't seem to make it clear what Firefox is doing to "save" ad blockers other than continue to support Manifest v2. If they're making ad blocking possible with v3, there doesn't seem to be a lot of detail around it. Yes, I can go research it, but the point of articles like these should be to aggregate that information so people don't have to do all the work for themselves.
The Supreme Court to hear case that could upend Section 230
> The simplicity and minimalism of what it takes has radically devalued personhood. The “essence” of who you are, the part that wants to feel “seen” and is able to be “seen” is no longer special. Seeing and being seen is apparently just neurotic streams of interleaved text flowing across a screen. Not some kind of ineffable communion only humans are uniquely spiritually capable of.

> This has been most surprising insight for me: apparently text is all you need to create personhood.

Congratulations on discovering online personas are shallow as indeed most people are shallow and text captures enough of them that we can easily fill in the blanks.

> I can imagine future humans going off on “personhood rewrite retreats” where they spend time immersed with a bunch of AIs that help them bootstrap into fresh new ways of seeing and being seen, literally rewriting themselves into new persons, if not new beings. It will be no stranger than a kid moving to a new school and choosing a whole new personality among new friends. The ability to arbitrarily slip in and out of personhoods will no longer be limited to skilled actors. We’ll all be able to do it.

The latest episode of South Park is about a kid going to a personal brand consultancy (who reduce everybody to four simple words, the forth always being "victim") to improve his social standing + Megan/Harry loudly demanding everybody respect their privacy and losing their minds at being ignored. This is nothing new.

People are shallow phonies and interacting via text brings out the worst out of most of them. There are no humans online, only avatars. And AI chat bots are sufficiently adept at mimickery to poke through that little hypocrisy bubble. You are being out Kardashianed. Just like offline some people can be effectively replaced by a scarecrow.

It is upsetting to those who spend too much time online and have underdeveloped personalities and overdeveloped personas. Text is not all you need. Not so long ago there hardly was any text in the world and most people were illiterate. And yet plenty of humans roamed the earth.

So yes, if you're a simpleton online it has suddenly become hard to pretend your output has any value. Basic Bitch = Basic Bing.
Did you forget about adjustable pitch propellers?
We have managed to use human-scale ones even to synthesize low-frequency audio by building a sealed room and putting a reverse-thrust-capable one on the only opening of that room (besides a closed door). It spins and the pitch is adjusted to modulate thrust in response to the sound signal.

Those rotary woofers deliver supposedly good distortion up to their rotation frequency; 13 Hz / 800rpm seems common.
For reference, a tail sitter propeller would probably spin faster than that, though even this is plenty to control the aircraft. A blade design using a servo flap easily keeps up with those control speeds, and could likely even offer thrust vectoring like the rotor of a helicopter (could eliminate the flaperons).

The real enemy is power-to-weight ratio.
As a "systems" programmer I feel strongly that Rust is the wrong fit for most applications, but is suffering from web and application programmers needing that next fix of rewriting the world in a new shiny toy.

You could have a garbaged collected language with an actor model, implicit yielding, easy runtime inspection, easy to learn, easy to teach, but instead you're picking Rust because it's cool. The author could have just used Elixir, or Go, and they'd spend half of the time they did learning and writing Rust code on the millionth web framework/userspace work stealing scheduler. I mean, they know Erlang, so why not Elixir? Why not Phoenix which they've been working on for like 10 years now. It actually astonishes me how often these very well trodden wheels get reinvented for no reason at all because web frameworks are apparently all developers work on these days.

Systems programming absolutely needs Rust, but this "it's a great fit for everything" has to stop. You don't need manual memory management. You don't need to think about lifetimes. You don't need explicit yielding. If you're choosing Rust because you just want to use a complicated language, learn a new toy, feel like your web app needs to go at light speed, maybe stop and consider that you're doing yourself and whoever your building your software for a disservice when something like Go is way easier and will cover the 95%. I have seen these garbage collected languages scale to incredible loads with good engineering that focused on good architecture rather than magic tools.

If on the other hand you actually need to write software that's going to run on a TPM, or in the kernel, interface with a new hardware protocol, ok, use Rust. C is obviously a huge danger and we've known that for a very long time. That's what Rust is good at, and trying to use it for everything just leads to code bases that are way more complicated than they ever needed to be. And truly, being as simple as possible is almost always the right way to go.
Never used to, but maybe it does now.
This intentionally does not match some states that currently do not have R- representation, but by coincidence of letter combinations lets some others through. Fixing this is left as an exercise to the reader.
The problem with cash is that a lot of commerce occurs over the Internet these days. And cash can be controlled or abused by the government. Even if cash is never technically banned, banks can limit withdrawals to low amounts, any limits can be kept and functionally eroded over time due to inflation, and with enough effort it can be tracked just as well as digital payments.

Personally I see this as the (probably only) actual-use-case for crypto: permissionless payments
To keep it simple just imagine that this will be a freelance marketplace like Fiverr where people will be able to pay with ETH, nothing less, nothing more.
