Even if I published my statement (which I believe to be factual, not merely humorous), Nature would not sue me for libel. All that would do is bring more attention to the Nature racket.

Anyway I think there is a role for "sexy but wrong" journals- but that role is limited to extremely competent scientists working at the state of the art of their quantitative field. I don't think anybody should take what gets published in Nature and just sort of naively share it on social media with the claim it proves/doesn't prove something. The context required to evaluate a Nature paper on its merits is absolutely enormous.
I struggle to identify any situation in which price gouging shouldn't be demonized.
What profit margin should they have and why should they have that profit margin?

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/CALM/cal-maine-foo...

> For the 26-week fiscal period ending in November 2021, gross profits were $50.4 million. In 2022 for the same period, gross profits were $535.3 million.

They had a near zero profit margin for 2021. And based on their record of profit margins, it seems like their business has been volatile since 2015 or so.

I am not an expert on the egg business or food in general, but there is no reason that a 10x increase in profit has to mean malfeasance.

Volatile businesses can have large swings in profit margin, otherwise no one would want to do them.

Ask HN: DuckDuckGo injecting Ads in Firefox extension?
It looks like DuckDuckGo is now injecting an Ad into email fields with their Firefox extension. The Ad is for their email protection service. There doesn't seem to be away to disable the Ad. It seems to be in registration forms and not login forms.

Anyone else experiencing this?

It's kinda of too bad. I like the extension otherwise, but that is a hard red line.
There are not ToS associated specifically with gmail. The service has no guarantees or expectations set whatsoever. You get better guarantees on email reception from running your own server.

Therefore it's hard to say what the gmail user could even base their complaint on. Google can do whatever they want with the incomming email as far as categorization and blocking goes, and nothing in the nonexistent ToS is violated.
You're like 99% of the way there. This is the behavior you want. The alternative is panic shortages from people afraid prices are about to skyrocket.

> Any company with multiple rounds of layoffs is unhealthy

Isn't this too black and white of a statement? We just got out of a massive money printing/demand spike that was COVID

Businesses did that.

Now it's scale down time. Businesses are doing that.

What part of that is unhealthy?
You phrased that nicely. :)

Large companies indeed usually don't get in trouble for tax evasion, but they are certainly the ones more often committing it. They don't call it "evasion", of course, but more like "tax minimization", or "using every legal loophole possible known to our army of lawyers".

The only thing Meta messed up is maybe not being up-to-date with some obscure legal gotcha in Italy, and even so, the fine will just be the cost of doing business.
My texting app is neutral. WhatsApp is basically neutral (and, hey, Facebook owns it).

Facebook (and Youtube, and Twitter, and...) chooses which content to promote, for their own interests, which often correlate with generating outrage based on made-up bullshit. They're far from a "blank canvas".
And that helps you how? It's a fight not a race.

Why implement coroutines when you have multithreading?

Coroutines are to me a brain-twisty way to make the most out of a single core, because your language doesn't support multithreading. For example: JavaScript with a single thread in the browser, Python with the GIL.

C++ has threads which ACTUALLY run in parallel on the CPU. Why bother complicating the language further?
I grew up in a rural area where most people opted out of the light that the electric company installed for every customer who got service. Whenever I visited a city it infuriated me to see tens of thousands of lights and my parents would explain the 'safety' issue and that it prevented thefts. Nine year old me could only think, "well if people are gonna steal, why not spend the money you use on that electricity to buy them homes and maybe they won't want to steal..."

Hey! This is cryptominer protection - we used to have an option to access a trial without a credit card, and the cryptominers did indeed sign up. :) Requiring a credit card for the free tier is a speed bump for that, on the free plan it subscribes you to a $0 product in Stripe.
Harry Markopolos was calling out Madoff for nearly a decade, with accounting-based evidence on why it was impossible and an incredibly simple way to verify if Madoff was lying for the SEC or the DTCC. The SEC never bothered to check if he was lying about his trades (or simply decided to keep it quiet), the kind of thing that would likely take them minutes to find out.

It's really more like Hindenburg Research and Adani. Hindenburg Research is just better at making a splash. But the evidence was always damning.
When we're talking about a bird flu, "resilient" can mean having better hygiene practices. A lot of hygiene practices include improved infrastructure, more materials (e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE) like plastic covers over boots and disinfecting pans which you step in so you're not spreading bird poo on your boots).

When bird flu comes around, I keep it out. Which means I have same volume of eggs, and selling them at market prices... increased profit.

Then the mob comes around complaining that I'm price gouging.
If sex wasn't historically seen as a binary the god Hermaphroditus would not have been a singular exception in his pantheon (created through the use of godly power).

The way people dress, behave, and who they have sex with are other matters entirely. And yes, those have long traditions of not being binary.

Motion sensing lights outside my house certainly did nothing to improve safety for me, for the barest extra convenience of not having to remember to turn the porch light on before leaving when expecting to come back after dark.

They were likely detrimental, especially when considering the extra paranoia when I'm sitting there stoned trying to watch a movie and the light keeps ticking on outside. I got fed up with it and unscrewed the bulbs enough to not turn on, and so far my landlord hasn't complained about me doing so.

Are you saying somehow they are gaming the system and getting them in. If everything is above board, how is it a problem?
Given that AI is convincing enough to foster artificial relationships with humans, the humans clearly don't know better and get more attached than they should. It's pathetic, but not their fault-- the system was designed to be so engaging.

So when those relationships are arbitrarily yanked away from them, it's alienating. It's so harmful we long ago figured out it could be weaponized, and now we call it things like "disfellowshipping" and "shunning."
> If you're actually being sincere in this discussion

> I think almost every reasonable person would agree that any fetus who can survive outside a mother is a person

That's problematic right there. A child can't survive without any support until some years after birth, and the age at which a foetus can survive with support keeps getting younger due to technical advances. At some point fully artificial wombs will be able to allow a foetus to survive outside their mother from conception.

Deciding personhood based on our tech level doesn't seem very reasonable.

> My personal view is that personhood requires a mind

That seems more reasonable. Attainment of consciousness seems like a reasonable differentiator, but there's a difficulty is in establishing when that is.
I think (even though it still has its flaws) the EU way, is quite reasonable. If you are a "big" social media company, you aren't liable for user content, as long as you quickly respond to take down requests or user flags.
So you won't respond whether or not you'd care that you were defamed, and instead offered some ridiculous made up scenario where there is no way you'd recover from defamation? Do you do defamation litigation? Oh, you don't?

LOL. Strong disagree there. He's not being silenced by any means. He's free to engage in whatever speech he wants, be it defamatory. He only need pay for the damages he causes in doing so. I cannot imagine what's more libertarian than that.

My 2006 Vista machine, with two cores at 2.6ghz quite simply multitasked better than my current ryzen 5 3600 based machine. The one simple reason why is that all the programs I ran on that machine were native, while all the apps we run nowadays are blobs of javascript in a dumb chrome window.

Eclipse ran better on my $600 laptop in 2012 than pycharm runs on my 6 core 2019 macbook. Also, on my macbook, high cpu activity causes constant pops in my audio, which is just a thing that happens with macbooks that people just ignore apparently.
Facebook is a dead company. Anybody who works there deserve what they are getting. It is time employees take responsibility for working in shitty companies.
I'm not sure what you mean by "isn't an issue."

All I'm saying is that the CVE process is a human one, with lots of nuance. You're pointing out one aspect of that, that some CVEs are very practical, and others are more theoretical. I was trying to chime in with a similar way in which this is expressed, in that an identical bug in the standard library of one language may be a CVE, while in the other, it may not be a CVE, even with the same problem in both of them. That's "not an issue" in the sense that yeah, of course, Rust cares about this a lot more, so it's a more serious problem in Rust, so this process is legitimate, but it is in the sense that depending on how you're trying to do comparisons, there's more complexity than simply tallying up CVE counts.
And then there is also CloudFlare which demands a lot from the browser before proxying traffic to many popular websites, forcing users to use one of the most common and unmodified browsers.
Yeah I'm thinking two or three steps ahead so you have to have a little vision here. There are other intermediate problems to solve as you point out. On your dislike of grocery delivery, think about what you might have said about touchscreens back in the 90s - and don't come at me with some predictable contrarian "but I hate touchscreens in cars" please :)
Yeah the state of the country is just sad. And obviously like in every disfunctional company there are the usual gaslighting liars who insist it's just normal and it's like this everywhere.

Pet theory: it's because not enough Italians speak English and Italy is the only place where Italian is a majority language. You end up with a culturally backwards country.

Italy Probes Meta for Alleged €870M in Unpaid VAT
I would think that all of the middle managers have an incentive to balloon the company because it gives them more status.

So the top leaders are fed a bad hiring strategy from their lieutenants. It is ultimately the C-Suites responsibility to keep middle managers in line but it would be difficult to push back on the army of middle managers in a bull market when they could just leave if they don't get their "career growth".

The cynic in me wonders if the black pill is that these boom/bust cycles in employment are mostly unavoidable. Maybe it does make more sense to balloon during a boom, grow more than you need like a chipmunk hoarding acorns. Better to have the talent and not need it than to need it and not have it.
That's not a "finding". It was their choice to survey mostly retired people who had returned to work.
There's so many I'm not sure where to begin. A few simple ones that most people believe about networking on the Internet that aren't true are:

1. Routing paths are primarily decided by path distance as the metric.

2. IP ownership is authenticated and therefore the global route table is deterministic and stable.

3. DNS traffic is always over UDP/53

4. DNS is controlled by the network. Related, split horizon DNS is reliable.

5. Domain registrars and the root nameservers are required to be contacted in order to get a DNS response for a given public domain. As a corollary, seizing domains or blocking DNS at the root is a sufficient method to block access to a site. Secondary corollary, a correctly configured and valid public domain is reachable from anywhere on the Internet that can make a DNS query.

A lot of these are true in /some cases/, or in the general case, but not in the corner cases. A lot of policy and court decisions about the Internet assume the happy path or the common case when dealing with situations where motivated actors may take actions outside the happy path to work around that court order. It is entirely possible to bypass public DNS to resolve a public IP on the Internet as long as it routable, regardless of what registrars or public (and root) nameservers say. (see: Pirate Bay and their shenanigans, also see Tor resolvers, see non-authoritative DNS resolvers, see host file sharing, see alternate roots, etc.)

A lot of policies within organizations, including those set by network admins, are based on a belief that systems in their network obey the things provided by their network, when in fact the client controls nearly everything about how it decides to interact with a network, and the network can only provide configuration as a suggestion or recommendation. There are very limited options for enforcing policy at the network level. There is no guarantee that any given client on your network is actually utilizing your local DNS resolvers or successfully will resolve split horizon DNS.

A lot of configurations in the world are based on trust in systems which are inherently designed in an untrustworthy manner, or which require additional configuration and technology to provide an external basis for trust. This has had consequences with far-reaching impact and will continue to do (see BGP hijacking).

DNS, except when using newer protocols and taking extra measures to authenticate responses, is easily intercepted and hijacked. It is entirely possible to capture queries and inject non-authoritative responses, including responses which claim to be authoritative at any point in the path the query traverses. This is actually commonplace in some regions of the world (see: China). DNS that is authenticated and encrypted doesn't traverse UDP/53.

I can get down with not using operators. If you're unfamiliar with k8s, adding another layer of something you're unfamiliar with makes little sense. But regular boring k8s is pretty straightforward stuff that often drives existing, established tools like ip/nftables, nginx, etc.

There is absolutely value in long term monogamous relationships. So much value you cannot see it from the inside. It's someone to 'show off' to, and to work for, and to- ineffectively- try to impress. And that matters far, far more than you'd think. It staves off the most brutal of existential crises.
While I cannot speak to the specific motivations behind these decisions, there is a broader effort at work that is likely influencing these and near future similar actions:
