You're conveniently leaving out the part that the event of someone holding a knife and not being compliant has been happening much, much more frequently recently, compared to 20 years ago.

So since the situation didn't use to happen often, obviously the reaction of shooting them did not either.
Why are you linking against glibc in the first place? An embedded single-purpose device that's always going to run a single piece of code has no use for dynamic linking. Use a statically linked libc only, and compile in freestanding mode for bare metal stuff.
> Neither the dollar as the object of transaction nor the system of accounting (accounting for resource allocation) called capitalism, have any real connection to the underlying drivers. The same problems existed in many other means of transacting (currency) and economic systems (communism notoriously being a sprint towards corruption).

Capitalism provides a moral justification for the actions of greed, it makes responding to those incentives seem inevitable and necessary and so not the responsibility of the person actually doing it.

Neither of those is necessarily inherent to capitalism, I guess, but they are certainly part of the structure of the capitalism we live with so shouldn't be dismissed either.
Tailwind is not easier to maintain than vanilla CSS in any way. There are no standards in Tailwind, tomorrow if they wanted they could rename everything. CSS actually has standards to adhere itself to. On top of this, Tailwind has to go through a process to adopt bleeding edge CSS changes, which makes maintenance a chore when you really wanted that new feature.

Tailwind is not easier than a custom internal design system either, as that has been tailored to your company and the maintenance of that system is integral to your design team. You might think that offloading to Tailwind is better, but you're just doubling up duties because someone internally is going to have to customize away from the defaults.

Tailwind can be easier to maintain than similar libraries. After trying most of these, I can't say whether that actually shows itself during development. I suppose if one was exclusively used to Vue or was brought up in the world of overzealous BEM, Tailwind might seem easier/refreshing. But if you've worked with Bootstrap or its alternatives (of the time), Tailwind isn't much different and can feel like a step back when you now have to rely on additional libraries like Konsta, Daisy, or Tailwind UI to create premade components for you.

Your example confuses me too, because why wouldn't your devtools be open anyways? You're in development so use the tools you have to make your job less of a guessing game. I guess what you say might be true, you can load a page and just tell a component has a margin right but you're going to be opening the devtools anyways to double check.

I still think Tailwind is great for solo devs, it's a design system with sane defaults they can rely on and get something in production very fast. Every other reason I've seen Tailwind devs give winds up confusing me about how they're actually working, or if they've ever bothered with anything else.

I love that ransomware is around because it forces companies to take security seriously or pay the price. You could even say ransomers are the good guys in this regard, contributing to a safer world.

Would customers pay for Amazon services individually if they were unbundled? I’m guessing there would be significant drop off. Prime Video would implode. Subscription revenue wouldn’t be sufficient to fund content and it’s a short life from there.
A lot of people look down on the arduino ecosystem because "it's for beginners", but there is no benefit to complexity for complexities sake.

If your product needs to do X, Y, and Z, and that can be built in arduino in a few days, and built in some other "professional" toolchain in a few months, then you will save money by building your real product on arduino.

And when the thing you're doing is outside the scope of what arduinos library ecosystem can provide (eg. you need to drive some GPIO pin with cycle accurate latencies), you can still write your assembly to do it.... But you still get the benefits of simplicity for the rest of your functionality.
Fun timeline. However, I have to disagree with this one:

91 3 cyber (as a prefix referring to the net)

"Cyberspace" was coined by sci-fi author William Gibson in his 1984 Novel, Neuromancer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer.

The term described his vision of a VR-like, immersive "internet" of sorts. The book became a cultural touchstone for many reasons. For example, the Wachowskis cited it as a major influence of their vision for the Matrix.

It’s definitely going against the grain but what I was trying to say is that there is a surprising amount of modding wherever you look, even in very recent games that you might not otherwise expect. What’s missing is a UT or a Quake - triple-A title with first-party modding - and we were lucky to experience a few titles having this within a few years of each other. But as another commenter said you’ve now got entire engines and asset libraries available at your disposal. Where more indie games like Neon White, Amid Evil or Dusk would back in the 90s/00s probably have been developed as a Quake or Unreal TC, they can now be built from the ground up as a standalone game.

I do miss the days of stumbling upon all sorts of mods on magazine CDs or on FTP sites, for what it’s worth.
The Ring was better than the later trilogy in my opinion. It was written good enough. Produced pretty fine. Way too good for a series.

There’s theory then there’s practice- I’d say if you sampled atheist ethics and morals you’d find it converges around a post Christian progressivism.
Wow - I think this highlights the point that is so aggravating. Many people are now searching for any way to be offended, even when an innocuous explanation is much more likely. It's like the "somebody called me 'G'" example: oh no, he's not using that as a term of endearment, but he must think I'm an actual gangster, and heck, I'm Chicano, what a racist!

For example, people use the term "OG" all over the internet, and I think 99% of folks don't even make the connection to "gangster" at all - I think a lot of people just think it's some shorthand for "original" or something. And I don't think I've ever seen "OG" used in any context where it wasn't meant as praise.
I am becoming more and more happy that I don’t live in that country. Everything seems insane. It has turned insane, it seems to totally have lost its way the latter decades.
Force multiplying managers are managers that remove red rape which was put up by.. other managers.
As a kid in my sophomore year of high school, I read the whole 3.0.0 Jargon File on the 15" CRT of my 386 - in Turbo Pascal, because it was the only thing I had that could open so large a file. (A whole megabyte! I messed around with building an index and a per-entry viewer, but never got very far because my motivation was limited by being able to just read the file directly.)

I'd "borrowed" the Turbo Pascal installer via an understanding undergrad at the local college, who was perfectly eager to help expand my horizons; the Jargon File came by way of the shovelware directories that old video game magazine cover CDs used to have. Poor as I would later come to know it to be, it was still my first real exposure to the idea of a subculture built around computers and their use, and the first thing that gave me to realize that there might be a larger social context into which my until then small-town and very solitary style of weirdness might fit - which I like to think was more or less what the fellow nerds who put together the CD master had in mind. (That, and maybe a bit of "how you gonna keep him down on the farm?" puckishness...)

I wouldn't want to go back to just reading from a CRT, though. Phone screens being as far from ideal as they are, they're still much better at rendering text, and considerably wieldier especially in bed.
Yet there are significantly more British citizens moving to America than the reverse. So they do seek the American Freedom and Constitution. Massive brain drain (despite the predictions it would flow the other way around thanks to the 2016 election).

Always puzzled me.

> I always assumed YouTube’s technical foundations were significantly subsidized by the mothership, but I have no data to base that on

I'd venture to guess that YouTube provided more value than just their customer base. I often wonder how much of their tech stack made it into the larger Google org.

Example; for the longest time when you'd log into gsuite via a SAML IdP you'd notice a youtube url in the login flow.

That parenthetical "almost" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting.
Kinda cute...but also a clear sign that human spaceflight is half a rounding error away from non-existent.

Outside of some tiny niches in the tourist and uber-luxury markets, I doubt there are any mission patches for airlines flights, train or bus rides, ocean voyages, etc.
If you want books for free legally, project Gutenberg has a lot of public domain books. You can also get ebooks from popular bookstores like Books a Million that give you access to the file directly.

There are also...less legal places to find ebooks, but that goes without saying.
Isn't biodegradability not a feature we want in most manufactured goods? Doesn't that just mean they will start to rot and break down on their own?
Scold or not (thank you), optimal amount of meat (animal products) we should eat is zero. You won't hear it from academics as plainly not because it's not true, but because of resistance of general population to the idea. There is a push for reduction now, and it will (surely) in the future morph into elimination.

There are many reasons for that. There are many sources discussing the problem. You may choose ignorance. Fine. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug, so your position is a familiar to me (for I've been where you are).

If you'll take the red pill by studying the problem from all its sides, you'll think differently in the future.

You're not ready to face the facts now, I get it. But don't worry. You seem to be on the right path.

P.S. Scold? More like Don Quixote ;)
This AI hype mania is once again a repeat of the GPT-3 hype and it amounted to using an AI SaaS as the so-called next revolution with everyone and their parrots screaming that they are also an 'AI company' which is total nonsense, just like ChatGPT would hallucinate.

Again. This mania will subside just like the Clubhouse mania did.
BTC is rational like tulip-bulbs are rational, it isn't rational like USD is rational (you can argue USD is irrational too, of course).

When I said irrational I just meant in the context of things we can relate BTC to (from tulip bulbs to fairly stable fiat to securities).

Like you can call penny stocks "rational" and a ponzi scheme "rational" (I don't think BTC goes this far btw so this is for illustrative purposes don't yell at me) you can call BTC "rational" but compared to the SPY or Vanguard target-date funds etc.. these things look pretty "crazy"
Tulips were not one of the greatest scientific advances in human history. AI that can write and converse intelligently on virtually any subject is. When the chief complaint about AI is that it lies too much, that's a massive breakthrough.
Is everything that isn't San Fran/Austin/Seattle/LA/NY a rural backwater in your mind?
It's not not accurate, it's just not complete from the perspective of modern theory.

I agree that conditional probability is best demonstrated graphically. The sample space is a big rectangle, and events are represented as polygons or other closed shapes, with area proportional to their probability. Conditional probability elegantly falls out of this representation by treating one of these event-shapes as a new "sub sample space" and computing fractions of areas.
It is also highly correlated with the market, no surprise!

The fairly clearly implied answers:

A1: we never review the disclosures. We have reviewed zero apps for discrepancies in the last year.

A2: since we never check (refer to A1), it can get as bad as it likes, and would you please be quiet because we’re trying to remain wilfully ignorant over here!

A3: we have taken zero enforcement actions in the last year (surely you understood that from our first answer?).

A4: ARGH! WHY ARE YOU TELLING US ABOUT PROBLEMS? WE DON’T WANT TO KNOW OR WE MIGHT HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Y’know. Something.
aye - it definitely signals rigor. However it is worth questioning whether Google at 30k employees has the same signaling effect as Google at 186k employees. Either the number of highly qualified engineers has increased by 4x - or the bar has lowered over time.

I'd imagine that 4 years from now having OpenAI on your resume will be a much better signal than Google, if only for the reason that there are only 400 people who can claim OpenAI as their background.
But if the artist, when painting, thinks that he wants no message to be imparted in the work but rather created in the mind of the viewer, then it can be both?
This school that espouses that art is what viewer feels, not the artist conceives - this was the mainstay of Marcel Duchamp and his ilk.

"The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.”

Ref: The Essential Writings of Marcel Duchamp.
> 400k that's probable 2M+

This seems like an extreme example. I have friends raising 2 kids in Pleasanton, CA working for bigtech. They bought their houses at ~ 1M before the housing craziness started. They made a similar move from suburbs of chicago with 3k extra monthly mortgage for the new house in CA, with a salary bump of over 100k.
Not sure if you could run that on vast.ai but they do offer more granular pricing, so that might be the better option.
That it sucks that the entire cryptocurrency trading game requires people to be losing money and holding bags, that the cryptocurrency scene will continue to cannibalize itself, that cryptocurrency is a bad investment, and that cryptocurrency is basically useless.
It doesn't automatically follow that people moving to America means they want the American Freedom (proper noun?) and Constitution. As for the brain drain aspect, it's said that people who move from New Zealand to Australia raise the average IQ of both countries; they are very obviously moving for the higher salaries rather than freedom and constitution.
All the good names are taken.

As long as the product is different it’s fine. IMAP library vs some Java thing.
Yep.

Does YT need Google's backing in order to survive because they don't have the resources strictly in-house to build and pay for infrastructure?

Disclaimer: Not an Economist, not even close.

If in the unlikely case they spun it off and another competitor emerged, would YT's scale make it hard to compete with this new entrant? Read: Red tape, bureaucracy, etc, etc.

Essentially back to where they were as an independent company when they didn't have Google to "protect" them...

The inverse case is what usually comes to mind first though:

Would the company wither and die if not for an acquisition? Think about Sprint+TMobile. Until the deal, Sprint was in bad shape, second to Verizon with outdated tech - in the sense that emerging technologies were based more off of an evolution of GSM than CDMA.

If TMo doesn't acquire them, Sprint probably goes "poof" and their customers flee to the remaining carriers, further entrenching their positions.

This seems like it is usually the card European regulators tend to play, worrying more about market dynamics and how that will affect costs rather than just what people pay for service.
> This is the appropriate response to the thought of your species being slaughtered for food

not necessarily. there are a lot of assumptions you're making here

> there's no reason to assume that any other species is capable of contemplating such a thing!

you don't know this

> If you're eating free range chickens or pasture-raised beef

in case that by "free range chicken" and "pasture-raised beef" you mean the same that the indurstry does by using those terms, you should do some research into how those animals are actually raised and the lives they live
It’s because they were barbaric, they just happen to have been rich in a time far back enough that we’ve forgotten some of the details.
Knowing how to read asm is super useful, and once I would have recommended writing asm as the best way to learn to read it. I still think everyone should write some asm, and not just friendly mips or riscv asm, something with a few warts and some redundancy, and some intrinsics. But reading the output of modern optimizers isn't really related to the type of asm that mere mortals write, you only get better at that by doing it. Looking at the outputs of perf reports and using godbolt a lot seem the best route. Maybe you'll never need any more performance than a naive implementation in python can give you, but it is like any other stack of abstractions in that knowing a little bit about the layers you don't work at makes you do your job better.
> LLMs are mere text generators. Trained on unimaginable amounts of text, they string together words in coherent sentences based on statistical probability of words following other words. But they are not "intelligent" in any real way — they are just automated calculators that spit out words.

These kind of takes are getting tiring fast. I’d even go as far as to qualify them as midwit takes.

Yes you can reduce LLMs to their output channels, or trivialise what their doing by using words as « statistical ».

Facts: ChatGPT, a rough demo based on a model that is already obsolete, is nearly indistinguishable from the average college student.

I think "Everyone used one" is particular to a nerdy / technically-very-literate section of population. It may seem that 15-20 years ago it was different, but it is likely because 15-20 years ago, nerdy / technically-very-literate were simply a higher proportion of people who were on the internet.

If I look at my non nerdy friends over last 20 years: 1. None of them are even aware of ad blockers 2. They'll claim "ads don't bother them" / they don't need one 3. They predominantly use phones and it can be tricky to install a working ad blocker () and 4. Yes they'll fall victims to ad scams - I didn't say they weren't internally contradictory people :P

(): Yes it IS tricky to install ad blocker to a non-nerdy person. They need to learn what is it, why do you use one, how do you install one that's not a scam in itself!, how do you manage one, what are the limitations, how do I update it, which browser should I use, why doesn't my favourite porn-gambling-bingo-site work anymore, etc etc. I myself have ad blockers on my computer but have constantly failed to integrate a reliable ad blocker into my phone use cases.
I've held it, but i've also got it wet (after being dry), and i seriously doubt that the printed-on metalic layer would survive, since the surface gets soft and jelloey.
Virtual fortune tellers. Possibly little known, but those little fortune telling shops you see (NYC used to have a ton) happen to ensnare quite a lot of fools, precisely because of the psychological dynamics of this type of interaction. Yes, there will be businesses and they will make a mint from unfortunate fools.

This is a problem even I face at my work. Some of my files are in sharepoint, some on my laptop, some on certain email thread. I don't know if there is any consolidated platform to pull all the relevant documents or files together. Well, ms sharepoint can be used for this purpose but it is quite a cumbersome to use it. Would love to know how other organizations go around this problem.

It is massively harder to design a steady state economy than it is to have one with a constant upward trend on things like inflation. You have less degrees of freedom maintaining 0, then you do +.0001 to (some higher number). Also there is game theory elements involved here when it comes to trade. You have to get everyone of any size to also agree to steady state the economy also.

If it's non-medically necessary then what does a doctor have to do with the decision? That's the whole point.
Money laundering is a crime, but not a scam. Besides, there's some nuance here: HSBC were fined for not doing enough to prevent it as required by law. You know, the kind of laws that don't even apply to crypto. "They are breaking rules but we are not!" is an easy claim to make if you have no rules but the others do.

This is every weekend. Also, kid soccer practices are about four times a week and too far to walk or bike. Soccer games on the weekend can be 60 miles away. The grocery store is eight miles away.

I sense that the no car advocates are single people living in cities. I lived car-free back on those days. But once you have a house and a family, a car is a basic necessity. Its financially impossible to raise a family in a city on the US west coast, with the same standard of living as suburbia.
The mat at the top of the kombucha is not the SCOBY. It is a waste product of the SCOBY - just a big slab of cellulose. This is a misunderstanding that I've seen people on r/kombucha get pretty upset about

The actual SCOBY is in the kombucha itself, not the cellulose. It's pretty easy to prove; when I made kombucha I would throw out the mat after every batch and save some of the liquid to use as starter for the next.
I didn't know there was a name for this and established set of tools for it. Good things come from even the trashiest of HN front page articles, thank you.

Edit: wow, I don't think I've seen "support vector machine" mentioned even once anywhere in the last 2 years. Times have changed! I wonder how this toolbox has been updated in the age of deep learning and probabilistic programming.
I also really like MicroPython! Having said that, I have been working on an alternative to it for a number of years now -- primarily to provide a more robust and performant high-level alternative to C and Rust on the ESP32-family of chips:

https://github.com/toitlang/toit

I'd love to pick your brain and fully understand your experience with MicroPython. I've been doing programming languages for a number of years now, and I find that it is incredibly useful to understand what developers appreciate (and dislike) about the available stacks.
