You make good points, and I actually agree with your suggestions. My original concern was not so much about what constitutes a "fair punishment" in this particular case, but about how is this crime is being perceived by our society, and especially how it is perceived by society (i.e. an average American) when compared to some other crimes? I'm more interested in higher level questions: How do we decide on the severity of a crime? Who should decide that?

Only some free software licenses rely heavily on copyright law as their primary mechanism. Permissive licensing, or something like it, would continue to exist if copyright as a concept disappeared tomorrow.
I think of countries in SEA and the profusion of mopeds, motorbikes, rickshaws, and really all manner of small vehicles on the roads. Its a matter of time until attractive, affordable, legal vehicles make more inroads here in the States.

Wow! When you say "OGs", and then follow it up with a list of THE actual "OGs" like that? *Nostalgia for those childhood days of dialup modems and all-night long downloads…*
They are levels in the management track.

M: Manager
D: Director

The rough matching of levels is: M0, E5 or senior engineer, M1 to E6 or staff engineer, M2 for manager of managers, etc.

Director is the level above M2.
Youtube has more signals.

You have upvote/downvote. All videos belong to channels which have sub counts. There's also comments.

In other words, it's a lot easier on youtube to tell if a video is likely crap or not and weigh it accordingly.
The page should list all of the supported wallets and not just show a few icons.

It would help if the 'push' to pay were explained more fully. Is that push just telling the app to request it or, hopefully, does it still need to be confirmed in the wallet? I would not want the app to be able to pull from the wallet without additional confirmations. If the app can just pull when requested, presumably, so can any hackers who gain access.

I do like the idea of being able to use it as crypto debit card. That would at least let me have better control over the max spend.
For whatever it's worth, the disposition of the case on PACER says the sentence was reduced to 12 months. There's not much of a docket to read, because it looks like he immediately pled out.
That's interesting; I've heard the opposite from every VC I've talked to about it. Its possible that different firms do things differently, and the ones I've talked to are in the minority.

> the "fund committed $100M, but the business went south and they declined to fund it fully" sort of stories.

My understanding is that its contractually obligated, and there would be legal ramifications for doing such a thing (or, there are clauses in the contract which allow it, or, you know, its pretty common for VC partners to sit on the board of the businesses they fund, so there are definitely options for the VC to assert sway over the company's finances and spend short of turning off the hose and breaking a contract).
You could have just asked: "what's wrong with SSL?" and anybody who ever wrote actual SSL / X509 / CA related code would not stop talking :)
My thought exactly. Gpt-4 will be asked to create gpt-5, which will create special hardware as prerequisite, etc...
So.... how many companies won't be able to make payroll in 5 days?
Clearly they ought to be in existential trouble for this, but the companies on the receiving side need to be bollocked (unless they've evidence they promptly reported unsuitable information being shared with them). Come down heavy on all parties and it'll gradually stop happening.
Somehow, Apple will have a moving video about their human centered values at their next product launch and there won't be a dry eye in the room.

It's sickening how effective it is.
Good luck trying to explain leftism to hacker news
What got me to use nice notebooks with abandon was switching to fountain pens, which require thicker paper not to bleed, and I did that because I'm left-handed and was tired of all the problems that come with that.

Some problems left-handers need to deal with:

* smearing,
* awkward hand positions to avoid smearing,
* needing to press harder to get lines,
* ripping paper because I'm pushing instead of pulling the pen to write, and
* pens unscrewing themselves, leading to cracking and thread stripping
Idk. Context?
Hey, I removed the freewall for everyone, sorry for that.

PS: I'm the original author of the article and got an alert of traffic spike. And it was a freewall, meaning it's accessible for free members.
It's their designator for management path employees. I'm assuming it's (D)irector and (M)anager.
Exactly. A government system providing the last line of authentication defense would be ideal. A single point of access where you can say "my credentials have been compromised please shut down those credentials and help me create new ones", and where businesses can check "hey is this person linked to a real account? Can I get a hash to confirm that the account is unique?".
I think you're conflating two things. Creating infinite identities is known as the sybil problem is cybersecurity, or sybil attacks. Indeed you need a way to verify identity in the real world with trusted parties to defeat this.

(In my interpretation 'uniquely identifiable' should be satisfied by your unique ability to sign data -- actions, statements, etc. associated with that key. there's a problem of making the identity itself human readable, which essentially needs a name system on top)

That said, I think the government de facto already has many useful functions around identity verification, I think making it more accessible, modern and useful is a good idea. Also with good design practices of digital systems, we can also make things more transparent, auditable, etc.. The downside I would say is the possibility of some kind of catastrophic breach or denial of service event having a large impact (any of our usual web services are subject to that though), and having a fallback offline infrastructure should be worthwhile.
No mention of impact to ICs. Seems strange to me.
In Chrome(and the likes):

- open developer tools (CTRL-SHIFT-I, or F12)

- make sure you are on Elements tab

- click on '<body class=...' tag line

- then in the right hand panel switch to Event Listeners tab

- remove anything you like(contextmenu, cut, copy, paste in this case)

I'm sure there is a similar way in Firefox...
> This ties well into the "three days to Kyiv" expectation at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is actually a great example of our own propaganda at work. This "Three Days" quote came from one of our Generals, not from Russia.

Putin's statements from early on are all widely available (with English transcriptions) and they do not in anyway sound like the words of someone expecting to annex Ukraine into Russia in short order.

Which raises the question - why were we all fed this story? To what end?
Living Our Values
In programming, we always build something initially that we can understand intuitively, then once we've gained experience with that program, more things become intuitive and we expand the software in ways we couldn't have foreseen. We change the code in ways that seem a little crazy and unlikely to work well at first, but with experience the changes become completely sensible. For example, some arbitrary piece of the code that starts out as a constant may later become a variable, and then a database table, and then a user interaction, and then a machine learning algorithm, and then an API call, and then a variable again.

Source code is the best way to allow arbitrary evolution of code. Visual programming cripples the kind of evolution that is possible or reasonable.

Now, what might work would be a component designer where all the state of the designer is stored as the source code in human-editable form. It might be interesting to be able to right-click a class or function call in source code and "Edit as Component". If that improves my productivity, it might be worth paying for. OTOH, such a thing now has to compete with AI code generators.
(D)irector and (M)anager. Director are Manager who manage Manager.
Oh fully agreed. They fundamentally lost depositors’ money by making bad investments - holding to maturity is just a way to argue that depositors will be made whole. The depositors may as well just be given the bonds/mbs themselves and allowed to hold to maturity or sell them to meet immediate needs.
I think you're painting with quite a broad brush. There are absolutely people who support copyleft because they do not want 'intermediaries' to be able to distribute binaries alone. e.g. GNU.
> What was its purpose then?

Clout, reputation, group identity, coolness factor. It's similar to how demoscene operates.
You say blindingly fancy words. I say important difference.

You say basic fact. I say oversimplification.

We can argue about the semantics of the word "broke", but the difference here is between losing all your money vs. having to take out a loan now that you're pretty much guaranteed to be able to repay when your bonds mature and only losing the interest payments on that loan.
Setting short goals and them moving that goal once you hit it is a valid way to make progress, not sure why you think this is a bad thing. We hit a goal, now we are talking about future goals, why not?
I haven’t really seen many R2 performance benchmarks, but 1s+ for retrieval is nuts. Is that time to first byte or total time? On what average object size?
Maybe the problem you've got is that you actually haven't understood what the alternative you don't like even is in practice ?

// Assuming buffer is a mut [u8] and text is the text value we'd like to write into it
// if we've got some string, just let text = string.as_bytes();

if text.len() > buffer.len() {
// As with snprintf we need to decide what to do if it won't all fit
// ... for example let's just truncate it
let truncated = &text[..buffer.len()];
buffer.copy_from_slice(truncated);
} else {
let (left, _) = buffer.split_at_mut(text.len());
left.copy_from_slice(&text);
}

As I thought I'd explained, the yak shaving problems for your C-style strings are on the other side, reading this structure. With pointer + length strings this is no trouble but with a 0-terminated string you have to conjure that sentinel from somewhere, maybe allocating in the process. Slower and uglier.
Thank you very much for these suggestions! Looking forward to checking out some of the books and videos but the suggestion of time with the DAW makes perfect sense and is something I should be doing more of.

Excited to follow up on some of the resources from this and the other comment.
Chipper Cash raised $150m from FTX and $100m from SVB. Ouch
Tesla enabled Autopilot in 2015, Siri was available in 2011, the Oculus Rift consumer version was sold in 2015.

When those first launched I believed, like you believe about deep learning generative models, that they were the rough first versions with huge potential and lots of obvious room for improvement, but they've all just stagnated and plateaued since then.

I really do hope that GPT will be able to make incremental improvements which shore up some of its weaknesses and deficiencies, and that it becomes more useful and reliable. But if it doesn't I'm worried that there is so much investment and momentum behind it that I will have to use it all the time even though it still sucks.
The mantra predates the DevOps revolution and apparently didn't age well.
Thank you, I have somehow missed this.
Also where would the capital come from to give out loans?
True, but it isn't landscape and it doesn't look like the pages are designed to tear out cleanly and easily.
Just looked at the docs, it's apply and reboot which makes sense.

Oh, I forgot that you also have to manage the certs on the LOMs. Luckily browsers still allow you to bypass expired certs by default.

I wonder if you can still get into machines with the old SHA-1 stuff?

That's why serial consoles are better IMO.
I think that if you try to answer the question "what % of the tech world is truly essential", you ALSO have to consider that everyone is on a career path.

People don't end where they start. Sometimes you get lucky and have an opportunity to do something really worthwhile.

The thing is, when that happens, it's often the result of series of career "stepping stones" which are often not very worthwhile when looked at in isolation.

Many of the folks who were terminated from Google, I think, will use the connections and experiences gained at Google to do really essential work. Maybe not this week, maybe in years or decades. It's not wasted, if the individual makes the best of it.

I had a TRS-80 Color Computer which, like the Apple ][, had no hardware synth and the CPU would be tied up generating sound with a primitive output. You could type

SOUND tone, duration

and there was also a

PLAY program-in-some-DSL

that could play a sequence of notes. As I recall the C64 had a sound chip that was better than anything else at the time but there weren't commands to use it from BASIC so you would have to use a few POKE commands to control it directly. That was still pretty efficient because you could write a few bytes to a memory-mapped I/O port and it would play w/o the CPU having to do anything.

Radio Shack came out with more than one "sound card" for the CoCo which worked roughly the same as the SID chip in the C64 though.

I'd say today people have higher standards. The PLAY command on the CoCo was monophonic, "real" music involves multiple notes at the same time (polyphonic) and would have a more complex API to specify. Whether you are using MIDI or FM synthesis or samples the range of configuration you could apply to get the notes you want is vast.

Certainly you could make some library that would let you bang out notes in Python with very little code, but for most people who want to add music to a program I think they'd much rather play an MP3.
How is it different from Google search? You can find pretty much anything online, so what's the point of adding to it?

Just because someone could be financially motivated to post content doesn't mean that they have to.

I like to comment on Reddit and HN, and I don't expect to be paid for it (but if you would like to pay me then by all means).
They did not get greedy. They bought bonds, and those bonds turned into a liability. Because the bonds were bought when interest rates were extremely low, they are worth less than bonds at current rates and had to be sold at a loss in order to shore up liquidity. That spooked investors and prompted a run on the bank.
> If you listened to the entire interview, I don’t know how you managed to mentally substitute the term “Russia” for the term “Marxism-Leninism” for 15 entire minutes. The man is talking about ideological subversion. It’s not about nationalism.

He's an ex-KGB spook talking about the actions of a foreign government. Of course it's about nationalism. Said ideological subversion is there to serve the needs of the USSR. He even talks about the "Soviet military complex" that will take over if the US doesn't realize what's happening quickly enough.

So said ideology is being propagated to create a crisis that would then allow a foreign state with hostile interests to take over.

> Bezmenov already says in 1985 that the ideological program had succeeded beyond all expectations and that Americans were doing most of the work for them.

Yes, and living in 2023, we can see he was full of it. Nothing had succeeded. The USSR fell apart, and the current US doesn't have anything approaching a proper left wing, let alone anything resembling Marxism.

Soon after that interview, Gorbachov went to the US and had his jaw drop watching a normal supermarket. Even the highest of positions in the USSR had little clue of what was happening in the US back then. They were very far from having the access needed to spread any kind of ideology through entire generations.

> That, coupled with the collapse of the USSR, would allow that leftist ideology to mutate into the forms we see today.

No, that's the evidence of that he was wrong.
This article is a word salad. The headline is not supported by evidence and looks like a causal fallacy.

The outcome can be explained by the archetype of too much money, large company politics, leadership that lacks understanding of the problem space, the Peter principle and the innovator's dilemma.
You see this pattern with almost anyone who is proficient at almost anything. Start with something in the simplest, smallest or most general way you can and master it, then build from there.

Mathematicians and physicists make a career out of this, but it works with almost anything, including sports.
20+ years is... a lot. I do agree with the sentiment though. At first I was printf debugging because didn't know better. Then discovered debuggers and my mind was blown. But when I reached the point where I hit bugs that would magically disappear when running the program through a debugger, I finally understood that there's value in becoming good at both debugging styles.

The upside of Whirlpool/Maytag products beyond warranty is the availability of parts and the willingness of third-party repairmen to work on them.

Although dishwashers and clothes washers are a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, we have a LG washing machine and no one wants to work on it because of the scarcity of parts and poor likelihood of successfully repairing the issue. They recommended Whirlpool/Maytag for those reasons so while it might not be a great warranty and hassle to get warranty work done, they still have some major points for consideration.
Race, gender and other factors are always relevant. But thanks for the lecture pops.
The title of the referenced article itself should be good enough "Apple and Foxconn win permission for 12-hour shifts and night shifts for women at iPhone production in India". The original poster omitted the words "and night shifts" for some reason.

Maybe running an economy on interest bearing loans was not a good idea after all, who would have known? We've had checks notes only a few thousand years to know that.
250k for a single employee’s mid month payroll ! That is $7.5m / year in only cash compensation!! that would be unheard of for startups who only bank at SVB, even only few blue chip CEOs will draw that much cash .

Realistically 250k for 2 weeks pay probably can cover between 30-60 employees, if founders and some key senior folks can willing and are able afford to defer maybe stretch to 75.
Israelis are very similar. That’s nationalism for you!
paying a lower rate literally solves the problem of having too much deposits.

Yes, corporations should pay a fair wage. This is about gender parity in government policy.

I will entertain arguments that no one should be allowed to work 12 hours, or that both men and women can. If you look at the other comment he made, you'll see he's arguing for neither of those.

> The same thing as any other framework.

No. Not even close. You're missing the point.

There is a fundamental difference which you are ignoring or blind to.

With something like pledge, you can't limit anywhere near as much as what you can limit with a MAC framework.

This means with pledge, you can only limit to what the program needs, which may well be enough (and with something like Oracle it's almost guaranteed) for an attacker to escape whatever confines you think you have in place. That simply isn't true for a MAC framework where you can limit to a greater extent and with a lot more granularity.

> Luckily, you can pledge and unveil from outside the process, as the code above does.

That doesn't help even slightly and has no bearing on the point I made.

> Yes, that's what you get with pledge and unveil.

Jesus christ no you don't. Not even close. At this point it's abundantly clear you are not familiar with MAC frameworks at all, and you're just convinced that pledge and unveil are the same thing. That's willful ignorance and nothing more.

> If you think otherwise -- I gave you a program that runs any arbitrary binary; please show a demo of a jailbreak.

You haven't shown that pledge and unveil are as good at SELinux at locking down something like Oracle, you're just claiming it is with hand waiving. pledge and unveil simply don't offer what SELinux does, and you're just dismissing that and insisting they do.

Ridiculous.
Do they? Apple's seem to be the only common ones obviously wearing gloves. Windows' cursors as well as most of the common cursor sets on Linux just use a hand shape with no glove details. I assume this comes from Apple's skeumorphic phase where they may have felt the abstract 'white hand' was not good enough as a metaphor; it goes back at least as far as classic MacOS IIRC.

Not using lifelike colouring has hopefully obvious reasons: inclusivity, contrast, display compatibility
A couple other similar options are Vercel (https://vercel.com) and Fly (https://fly.io), but there are several of these.

I'm not the greatest Musk fan but IMHO his approach to charge those who benefits from Twitter is spot on and I'm actually rooting for him to be able to find a viable business model which does not rely on selling my attention to highest bidder.

Pure speculation: Your national ID is linked to your cell phone via the payments and the banking system. IMEIs are globally unique and its possible to triangulate cell phones by constantly monitoring signal strength to nearby towers. Intelligence agencies know where almost every person is at all times since most people have their cell phone turned on and on their person as they move around. The solution is obtaining SIM cards and cell phones without ID, which is probably why that is outlawed in many places.
But the engineers didn't know, they're innocent
