This sounds like a bad development. Pre-inMusic Alesis produced impressive synths like the A6/Andromeda, Ion and Fusion. (Though I guess inMusic Alesis still sells their classic drum machines and some affordable digital pianos/controllers.)

Not that I was really into Moog's hardware pricing before, but at least they were forging their own path and doing some interesting things, from the Moog One monster synth to iOS apps like Animoog. I expect employee ownership gave them more freedom to pursue their own destiny rather than following the herd.

Not sure which part you disagree with? If it is about the existence of such policies, go talk to any engineer from Google or Microsoft or Meta or Apple or a hundred other companies down the list. There are written rules and trainings about interview conduct at every one of these companies, and they all cover feedback - what you are or aren’t allowed to say, how much you can share. And at every one of these companies the interviewer doesn’t even have direct contact with the candidate after the interview is done. The results are instead relayed by HR.

It should be noted that as long as fossil fuels are being burned to make power, what matters is not the embodied CO2 of PV, but how rapidly PV can replace the fossil fueled power sources.

This is also why using nuclear instead for this is such a bad idea: the CO2 emitted by the fossil fueled sources while the nuclear plants are not yet online far outweighs the embodied CO2 of either PV or nuclear construction themselves.

Wagner definitely can fight and I think this is a real danger for Putin. The invasion did not go well and he's vulnerable to more hawkish members of the military who wish to escalate the war.

It's not guaranteed that units will agree to deploy against other Russians. Not guaranteed that if they deploy they will fight. Not guaranteed that if they fight they will win.

Wagner has crossed the Rubicon and now it's do or die for them. They'll fight hard and are probably the most capable individual fighting force in Russia right now. Biggest challenge they face is air strikes. But if they brought SAMs with them or the air force won't bomb things will get dicey quickly.

But this depends on "in what context am I being asked whether a rule is violated"? I didn't start out knowing I was doing content moderation for a website or I might've answered those differently.

I assume that the context for posting this blog post from 2017 now is the recent submarine implosion.
I appreciate the point the author is trying to make, although I find the method kind of confusing.

There's a community I recently watched spring up on Reddit with the entire goal being to have a space to discuss Utah without every second comment being "Fuck Mormons". It grew pretty quick within the first day, but then the creator and community had a couple discussions on the best way to describe and enforce that rule. No discussion of Mormonism at all? No positive or negative sentiment towards the religion, but you can mention it in passing? It's certainly not an easy problem.
It’s because twitter HAS porn.
That's a whalesome thought.
Hehe, that's a fair take, but I must also mention that I've encountered far more porn unwittingly/unexpectedly on Twitter than I EVER, ever, ever have on reddit. Again speaking to the utility of moderation in general.
Typical motte and bailey example. Are all-caps expletive-ridden posts the only thing that gets censored? Or is it also stuff like citing factual statistics from reliable sources?

Look into the history of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Z Division.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Division

From another source:

> The program also provides innovative analysis to anticipate new and developing terrorist threats involving the use of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive weapons and investigate opportunities to counter them. Z Program also works to understand the state of foreign weapons of mass destruction programs; informs U.S. counterproliferation decisions, policies, and efforts; and develops supporting technology solutions to dissuade or prevent states from acquiring WMD-related technologies, materials, and expertise.

Basically their nuclear expertise plus the Cold war (and 9/11) caused them to become a central actor within the US government to look into biological, chemical, and related weapons. So they have a lot of cross discipline expertise there now.

> No vehicles in the park is a rule for the people that use the park

Says who? So I can park my car in the park and take the train so long as I don’t “use” the park? Or drive through it on my way to work?
Apparently dropping sand from the aft of your boat acts as a good deterrent:

“sprinkling sand into the water around the rudder confuses the orca’s sonar” during an interaction, the Cruising Association has said.

“The orcas are coming in on sonar, not sight, we know that,” said John Burbeck, the Orca Project team leader at the Cruising Association. “And a few kilogrammes of sand around the rudder confuses that sonar picture they’re picking up.”

Well thank you for enlightening my knowledge of federal law on this regard. Clearly I was misinformed.
That's not what "selling at a loss" means, it just means their costs are greater than their income. Which, again, is not what "selling at a loss" means - that's production cost per unit being greater than sales income per unit. SpaceX is just dumping a ludicrous amount of money into scaling faster. They could easily be operationally profitable.
> Police/fire/ambulances are there for emergencies, their drivers have better training (theoretically) in safe driving, and the vehicles bring attention to themselves.

By this logic, it’s ok for a police officer to drive through the park’s green on his way to work, with no emergency.
Can one use QEMU to emulate the 8-bit RISC? What would that even be used for? Is that some embedded device things?
Nobody said anything about growth. Economists certainly don't believe increases in productivity are bad for it or employment though. That's because it's decreases that are bad.
It’s a legitimate definition though. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. There are many fundamental things that can’t be defined, where we have to rely on social norms and common sense.
That definition looks like it only applies to highways, whereas this exercise is much broader.
Is he bold and unafraid? My thought is he believes he has a 0% chance of living to this time next year given the current way things are going. If rebelling increases his odds to 0.5% and he doesn't care about the lives of anyone else it's the logical thing to do.
It’s a real shame. I have techie engineer friends who use their phone like my grandparents. They’re totally ignorant of any new features released in recent years. One of them even got upset at the group text notifications waking him up early morning, which was so baffling to hear because who doesn’t silence certain notifications overnight. Apparently he didn’t know about the iOS Focus modes that allow certain app notifications while disabling others, and thus allowed everything to come through all the time in case he got paged. He’s a SWE at AWS. Just bonkers to me.

I know all the features because I read the release notes for every update and browse the Tips app, but like the article suggests, no one does that.
According to Forbes, prior to the transaction, Paul Pelosi held between $5 million and $25 million worth of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft and shares, according to his wife's annual financial disclosure report.

The usual response is "insider trading", but this is the opposite of that. Given a normal distribution of returns, we would expect some congresspeople to do really well and some to do really poorly. Also, it would seem as if they found a good strategy of trading large cap tech stocks, which have been among the best performers over the past 10 years. It does not take special connections or insider info to observe how well these companies have done, and then trade on this information.
>Do students not take into account the cost of there academic pursuit in relation to employment and income?

Students can't look into the future and forsee that they will never be able to get a job in a bad economy that will cover the rising cost of their loan's interest rates, much less the principal, resulting in a debt many multiples of what they originally took out, no.

>It's good to be generous in a pause, but forgiveness of the loan seems to hurt everyone.

Yes, obviously, unlike with banks and billionaires, forgiving the debt of people for whom debt is an actual burden is simply unthinkable.

That's not what he said was making it expensive though, was it? He said it was economies of scale. Furthermore, if an ISO 9100 certification is taking a $10 trashcan and making it $50,000 then we shouldn't insist on an ISO9100 certification.
Meh. Realtime pub/sub at scale is easy as pie. I wrote a WebSocket client/server toolkit which can handle unlimited users with automatic channel sharding and auto-scaling on Kubernetes as a weekend project. It was too easy. I made it open source and for some reason it only ended up being used by some crypto companies and a few adult chat websites though one of them said they were handling 120K concurrent users with a couple of instances.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I don’t think there’s ever effectively “no such rule” but only “(expected) immunity from consequences of said rule” which is subtly different.
Only in Common Law countries is this true. In Civil Law countries, you actually do need to account for all exceptions.
> Don’t make PMs hound you for information. Be proactive. When PMs do ask you for information, answer promptly and graciously

At a previous consulting engagement I ran across a rather toxic triangle involving the PM, the developers, and the manager of the developers. The PM did not report to the engineering managers, she reported up the chain elsewhere. The engineering manager made if very clear that bad news was not welcome from developers, and only the mildest concerns about risks and blockers was tolerable. Thus, the developers could not give the PM, or anyone, honest information without risking the manager's displeasure.

Which is all a long way to say: If PMs are seeing issues with communication from engineers, first eliminate the possibility that the developers are doing so because that's how they are managed.
He is complaining that the West does a poor job of elevating well-informed commenters to prominence. Having close association to the Soviet/Russia watching community since the 1980s, I agree. The problem is that the kind of people who get the on-the-ground experience you need are not the type who play politics well and rise in organizations.

> ((a piece of (the set of necessary tools, clothing, etc. for a particular purpose) with (some; an amount that is not exact but is fewer than many) moving parts that uses power to do a particular type of work) used for transporting people or goods)

Yup, that's technically a rowboat - as long as it has oars included (whether or not they're physically attached: "set of"). Take the oars out of the equation, and it's not a machine anymore...just a piece of a vehicle (like how a tire isn't a car).
Yeah it raises potential ontological issues about the words "vehicles", "in", "rule" and probably others.
This is a list of microoptimizations. Designing the architecture of your whole program to be cache friendly was not addressed here, but is arguably more important.
You are mimicking local jurisdiction rules. You don’t even know why they disallow vehicles. Let’s say because of subsidence or weight load. Then even emergency services should not go in as it would give more risk to them. Instead they need to walk in or use a helicopter suspended in mid air.

More surreal maybe it is above that cave in Lost and even an ISS or plane should not go over that location.
> Reddit has a ton of rules in place, particularly against advocating for violence. I reported a few comments that called for death penalty for someone.

Note that taking it literally even calling for imprisonment is advocating for violence (unless convict accepts imprisonment voluntarily and not under threat of legal violence by law enforcement).
I think the author should have made the statement "A sandwich is an item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or other filling between them".

And then asked questions like:

- Is a grilled cheese a sandwich?

- Is two pieces of bread with a third piece of bread in the middle a sandwich?

- Is a hotdog a sandwich?

- Is a taco a sandwich?

- Is a breadbowl a sandwich?

- Is a poptart a sandwich?

- Is a calzone a sandwich?

- Is a burrito a sandwich?

- Is a pizza folded in half a sandwich?

Having asked these questions to many folks over the years, I promise the answers are much more split.
All roads lead to "the situation is completely fucked up." The more immovable the reasons are for the $50,000 trashcan, the more evidence we have that something is systemically wrong. The best case scenario is that this was fraud and without it the trashcan would cost a reasonable price. But if it just "has to be this way" then it's clear that the existing processes are terrible.
But it's not really a local thing; I'd be shocked if there was a park which meaningfully controlled it's airspace. Practically the bounds of a park only go so high.
Lab leak theorists don’t believe Covid was developed as a weapon. They believe it was an accidental leak from a lab doing normal, non-warfare virological research. The quoted phrasing makes me think that they know it was a leak but redirect the conversation by saying it wasn’t a biological weapon.
> Probably not engineered or lab-adapted.

Despite having a novel furin cleavage site in the exact location as stated in a grant proposal, a furin cleavage site that happens to make the virus extremely infectious towards humans all while leaving no trace of how it adapted this feature.

This seems to me more like a desperate attempt to avoid any regulations or attention drawn to this reckless research conducted all over the world!
This illustrates exactly why this was pointless in the first place. Nobody is going to believe it unless it says what they want to hear.
One of the reasons, of which there are many, I prefer AM over Spotify is their human-curated playlists. They’re so good, much better than any ML recommended music I’ve experienced (Spotify or otherwise). I have worked on ML teams for over half of my career, but I don’t think it works well for music.
The better question is, should you get to vote in at least one? That's what this would make possible for corporations.
How about a crypto exchange?
> Conservatives need for the lab leak theory to be correct as they were wrong about basically all other points on covid

This is the most persuasive point I've read on HN the entire week, thank you.
I was being a bit rude but what I was trying to say is that IMO it's a bit immature to work in a meeting at all: if you're working then you will work better not in the meeting, and if you have to speak up when required then how can you be sure you have not missed relevant context while you were working?

Basically, people who work on their laptops during meetings are demonstrating that they don't have the confidence to point out to someone that they should not / no longer be in the meeting.

It manages to work because expensive law schools and the state Bar do all of those things on behalf of her law firm. Meanwhile you can call yourself a programmer after taking a 30 minute online tutorial and writing a hello world script – and that is a good thing. We do not need gatekeeping in this profession.
I find the results confusing. I said a wheelchair is not a vehicle in the park. On the results page I see wheelchair has a score of 16.3. So this means 16.3% of people said the wheelchair is allowed in the park and 83.7% of people think the wheelchair is not allowed in the park?

If so, I now understand why moderator decisions seem insane. It's because they are.
Sounds like a great way to burn money: the company was founded in 2019 and they still haven't released anything, probably because they've spent most of their time building other stuff. Their devs sure are having a lot of fun though.
There are outlets with USB-A and USB-C ports. I don’t think there are any with USB-PD because chips are expensive for that. It would be possible to have multiple ports and no AC ports.

But problem is places with lots of devices, then would need power strip and might as well use AC one.

The problem is appliances that draw too much power for USB-C. They also draw too much power for 48V DC. There isn’t any advantage to switching the wall voltage.
There's no conditional on solar panel pricing -- you can do this now.

I have 12kW of panels, and a 10kW inverter. I get a nice 10kW flat-line for a few hours each day through summer, and a better-than-it-would-otherwise-be return through winter (though never reaching max).
Labour: Having people climb around roofs is dangerous, and people with dangerous work expect higher compensation.

Inverter: Cost of materials, assembly, and QA. You want good stuff for the amount of current passing through.

Cabling: Cabling is mostly materials in cost. Conductive metals are expensive.

Metal Mounting: It's heavy, and requires lots of raw material and expensive equipment to create it.

From the design they published of it, I do really think they intended to have the carbon fiber tensioned between a pair of titanium rings.

My guess: it’s persisted mutations that need their own retry- and deduplication logic, as well as user facing error handling. Since it hits the db in the main region anyway latency is similar.
"Overwhelming expert consensus" implies that you know who is an expert so I don't see how it helps an idealized clueless average citizen who arguendo cannot judge accurate information from mis- or dis- information.

Also, you have heard of "100 Autoren Gegen Einstein"? Obviously people who bring that up in an actual conflict of ideas are almost certainly not Einstein, but how do we know, and if we think we know who is right and it is the majority, how do we refute the claim that polls don't determine truth?
The nuance on that one felt odd. I said that it did violate the rule (even the spirit of the rule, being a large motor vehicle), because it was a binary question. I also felt the rule violation was justified and that they shouldn’t be called out on it.
You can get not-11% by choosing to skip before the end. IF you skip after 7 questions, it's "You agreed with the majority: 29%" — same whether I say yes to all or no to all.

So I don't think it's related to yours answers. It's just the weighted average of what people said for the set of questions you answered, or something like that. Not actually your score at all.
